NEWPORT BEACH, CA, September 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Sabal Financial Group, L.P., formerly Milestone Asset Resolution Company, LLC, a diversified financial services management firm, announces the recent acquisition of a $158 million portfolio of performing and non-performing commercial real estate loans and commercial acquisition, development and construction loans and credit facilities. The acquisition represents the first sale transaction under the FDIC's pilot Small Investor Program ("SIP") and represents the commercial loan component of a larger $297 million loan sale mandated by the FDIC for the assets of failed FirsTier Bank of Louisville, Colorado, which was seized in January 2011.
"We are pleased to continue building on our existing relationship with the FDIC with the addition of this portfolio," said R. Patterson ("Pat") Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Sabal Financial Group. "This portfolio is a blend of commercial real estate loans and acquisition, development and construction assets that uniquely matches the broad expertise of Sabal in the management of small balance distressed assets."
The FDIC's SIP is designed to increase investor access to smaller asset pools, widen participation in structured sales and maintain a level playing field for investors through a competitive bid process. A total of 13 bids were received for this first FDIC SIP portfolio sale.
Sabal Financial Group will perform management, servicing and disposition services for the loan pool in yet another move in the company's ongoing expansion of its servicing portfolio, now totaling nearly $3 billion in assets.
The acquired portfolio includes 116 loans and is secured by a heavy concentration of properties in Colorado, including retail, industrial, office, apartments and undeveloped land. The acquisition represents the increasing number of loan portfolios being sold by both failed banks and those banks seeking to shed assets as they work to improve their balance sheets.
"We are currently responding to an influx of credit advisory assignments and loan portfolio acquisition opportunities with banks," said Jackson. "This particular acquisition extends our presence in Colorado and further expands our national platform."
Sabal Financial Group specializes in the acquisition and valuation of portfolios of real estate loans, with a concentration on commercial real estate ("CRE") loans and commercial and residential acquisition, development and construction ("ADC") loans. The company has a commanding market presence providing financial guidance to investment and commercial banks, including capital assessments based on portfolio and allowance for loan and lease loss ("ALLL") analysis, having performed more than 100 bank valuations over the past 24 months.
Sabal Financial Group is rapidly expanding its operating platform in response to the growing market for the sale of performing and non-performing loan portfolios and an increase in asset valuation assignments. The company recently announced a non-controlling investment in the firm by an Oaktree Capital affiliate entity and the appointment of Kevin McKenzie and Rick Brown as portfolio managers. Sabal Financial Group plans to substantially grow its assets under management and develop a nationwide lending operation to provide debt capital for commercial real estate and select commercial ADC projects.

Small group homes are better for many dementia patients and their families
2011-09-16
Small group homes for people with dementia provide good quality care and a domestic environment where people can live as individuals and families can get involved. But tension can arise when it comes to deciding who takes responsibilities for certain practical and caring tasks.
Those are the key findings of a study of two group living care homes in the Netherlands, published in the September issue of the Journal of Clinical Nursing.
"It's estimated that 80 million people worldwide will suffer from dementia by 2040" says Ezra van Zadelhoff from Maastricht University. ...
All credit ratings not created equal
2011-09-16
At least one of the "Big Three" credit ratings agencies exaggerated credit scores of private debt compared to public bonds during the last 30 years, according to a new study by researchers from Rice University, American University and Indiana University.
The recent downgrade of U.S. debt by Standard & Poor's makes the study timely, and the research adds to the current debate surrounding regulatory reliance on credit ratings and the current Securities and Exchange Commission proposal to standardize credit ratings across asset classes.
For the study, "Credit Ratings ...
Plants create a water reserve in the soil
2011-09-16
It has long been known that roots alter the soil in their immediate vicinity, where other microorganisms live and the chemical composition is altered compared to that further away from the roots. An international research team has now demonstrated in experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute that the soil in the vicinity of roots also contains more water – contrary to the earlier belief that there must be less water in this region, as the plant takes up water from the soil. Apparently, however, plants create a small water reserve that helps to tide them over through short ...
Stents may reduce heart attacks by delivering downstream medication
2011-09-16
Tuesday, September 13, 2011, Cleveland: Researchers at Cleveland Clinic have discovered that cardiac patients receiving medicated stents – a procedure that occurs often when blood vessels are blocked – have a lower likelihood of suffering heart attacks or developing new blockages in the vessel downstream from the stent.
Stents have been used to prevent re-narrowing of coronary arteries after balloon angioplasty and newer designs have included coatings with medications to prevent re-narrowing from occurring within the stent after implantation. The recent study – led by ...

Cancer-killing cells are caught on film in more 3-D detail than ever before
2011-09-16
Scientists reveal in more detail than ever before how white blood cells kill diseased tissue using deadly granules, in research published today in PLoS Biology.
The researchers, from Imperial College London and the University of Oxford, used 'optical' laser tweezers and a super-resolution microscope to see the inner workings of white blood cells at the highest resolution ever. The researchers describe how a white blood cell rearranges its scaffolding of actin proteins on the inside of its membrane, to create a hole through which it delivers deadly enzyme-filled granules ...
Childhood and the driving force of fashion
2011-09-16
Are children as young as five years old so driven by consumerism and fashion that they are in danger of 'losing' their childhood?
Not necessarily, according to Dr Jane Pilcher, a sociologist at the University of Leicester, whose research findings on children and fashion were recently reported in the international journal, Childhood.
Nonetheless, her findings showed that brands and logos are highly important to some children, influenced by family attitudes, peer pressure and celebrity culture.
The desire for certain brands and logos, especially in boys' sportswear, ...

Rice reinforces gas hydrate strategy
2011-09-16
Their critics weren't convinced the first time, but Rice University researchers didn't give up on the "ice that burns."
A paper by a Rice team expands upon previous research to locate and quantify the amount of methane hydrates -- a potentially vast source of energy -- that may be trapped under the seabed by analyzing shallow core samples. The paper published this week by the Journal of Geophysical Research- Solid Earth should silence the skeptics, the researchers said.
Chemical engineers George Hirasaki and Walter Chapman and oceanographer Gerald Dickens headed the ...
Of mice and men
2011-09-16
Scientists have sequenced the genomes (genetic codes) of 17 strains of common lab mice--an achievement that lays the groundwork for the identification of genes responsible for important traits, including diseases that afflict both mice and humans.
Mice represent the premier genetic model system for studying human diseases. What's more, the 17 strains of mice included in this study are the most common strains used in lab studies of human diseases. By enabling scientists to list all DNA differences between the 17 strains, the new genome sequences will speed the identification ...
