Romar's combined sales and interest for Romar US and Romar International are almost 100 million dollars. Romar operated business on very low margins, with hopes to increase its overall revenue and profits through its design studio, advertising/ marketing agency and off-shore production business. Romar's investigation also revealed that many of its ex-employees were involved in outside businesses that conflict with Romar's business units and interests, although each employee signed confidentiality and non-competing agreements. Some ex-employees were operating their businesses while they worked at a Romar office; and collected higher than market salaries of 75,000 to 415,000 annually, health benefits and expense accounts. It was also discovered that some of Romar's managers possibly compelled staff to perform duties for their outside businesses, paid unauthorized vacation pay, theft of equipment, used Romar resources to manufacture products for their own benefit and created fictitious businesses and generated invoices while Romar paid for them."I trusted many of our employees to run operations day to day.

To add insult to injury, some of these "nameless and faceless" people are part of a payback Romar scheme to distribute or circulate erroneous information." said Polk.These practices and other problems created a temporary set back for Romar. Romar's accounting department was a separate unit of long time accountants located in Woodland Hills, California.Romar accountants role have been to keep the books, issue payroll checks, pay vendors and suppliers and pay all applicable tax. Apparently, Romar's accountants failed to pay a small portion of its payroll tax roughly 180,000 out of one million dollars. Consequently, through further accountant negligence of failed payments and penalties, a lien was place on Romar's account at Manufacturer's Bank unknown to Romar's managers; and New Jersey accountants who handle the main financial business of Romar's shareholders/ investors. After Romar's accountant's agreed to pay its tax, a "surprise" lien was placed on Romar's account at Manufacturers Bank which left Romar, who was already experiencing cash flow problems, with four depleted accounts.

Payroll and expense checks were returned to employees from their banks. Bank checks were issued. Romar's New Jersey certified public accountants have made arrangements with the IRS to pay back tax."If any current or ex-employee of Romar or companies where checks were cashed are owed monies and we can verify the information, we would be more than happy to make necessary arrangements to we pay what owe", said Gerry Pavo, accounting department.Romar financed and finances its businesses mainly through private funding from its multi-millionaire shareholders. Romar shareholders/ investors will continue to support its businesses and are expected to increase Romar's budget by five million in 2005. "Romar is a unique organization and private.

Maybe we are too private and should communicate better with employees and the public." says Polk.Please contact us at e-mail protected from spam bots if you have questions or visit, www.romargroup.com.

When you lease assets to your corporation, the business pays a lease or rental payment and you in turn claim the lease or rental income. By doing this, you as the lessor get to deduct items such as acquisition interest, depreciation, repairs and maintenance, insurance and administrative costs. When interest and depreciation deductions are exhausted you can then transfer the assets to a family member in a lower tax bracket or you can sell the assets to the corporation. A sale to the corporation would give it a higher tax basis (cost) than it had in the hands of the lessor (you). This would increase the corporation's depreciation deductions, thereby reducing its tax liability.If you haven't noticed already, leasing assets to your corporation is a fabulous way to pull money out of the business instead of through payroll.

When you take a paycheck, you've got payroll deductions to consider. Not so when you take a rent check.Another reason to lease assets to your corporation has to do with double taxation. If your corporation sells appreciable assets for a big gain, and you try and take the money out of the company, you will get clobbered with taxes?twice. This will not be the case if you lease the asset to the corporation. Under this scenario, you will only be taxed once.From a legal standpoint, it's also better to have your corporation own as little assets as possible if you are in a "high risk" industry subject to lawsuits.

If you lease assets to your corporation and your corporation gets sued, it's tough for a hostile party to seize the assets if they are in your name and NOT the corporation's.You may rent almost any asset to your corporation. Examples include, office space, machinery and equipment, vehicles, computers and peripherals and real estate. Besides renting the assets personally, you may use a multiple entity arrangement such as partnerships, S corporations or limited-liability-companies to rent the assets to a corporation. However, you shouldn't use another regular corporation because it may be deemed a personal holding company (where most of its income is from passive income such as rents and royalties, etc.). Personal holding companies are subject to a penalty that would defeat any tax savings rental strategy.The requirements for leasing assets to your corporation are as follows:

• You must draw up a formal and bona fide lease agreement.

  You should treat the leasing agreement just like you would if you were dealing with an unrelated party.

• The rental amount you establish must be fair. In other words, you can't charge anything you want. It has to be reasonable and in line with what's being charged for rental of similar assets in your area.

Your attorney or tax advisor will be able to advise you correctly based on your own unique circumstances and objectives..

Web services were first made popular by the on-line stock brokers like Ameritrade. The concept spread to banking, then to payroll services like PayCycle and now to the full back-office such that all of the major order-entry, billing, reporting, and financial functions of the office can be done on-line with services like JAYA123 (http://www.jaya123.com) and the Oracle Small Business service. Instead of buying or downloading a large and complex software package that is not only difficult to install but difficult to learn, vendors are now offering on-line services that you simply subscribe to and pay monthly, the same way you pay your ISP or cable bill. While programs like QuickBooks and Great Plains won't disappear, a lot of small and medium size business are switching to webware. The advantages of these services are many.

First, there is nothing to buy, so you don't end up laying out a chunk of change. Second, there is nothing to install because you access the software on the web using your browser. Third, you can use any kind of computer you wish.... as long as it has a browser. (Some services even run on a Palm Pilot-like device!) Fourth, there is nothing to backup or to crash.

Fifth, you are not tied to any one machine... you can run your business from anywhere in the world. The word "security" comes up all the time. But most experts agree that there is more hype than fact when it comes to Internet security. A well maintained "locked down" server that runs software designed to be a web-service is just as secure or more secure than the office desktop, that is easily compromised by any employee who has access to it, or anyone who might just help it "walk away." And as for "up-time" how often has your desktop crashed compared to how often your Internet connection has gone down or your ISPs server was not available? For most businesses, the answer is obvious.

People have been doing their banking on-line for years. Same with payroll and taxes. There are no known breaches. The back-office order-entry, inventory, etc., is simply a logical extension of what has been going on in other sectors. Should you switch? The answer depends on many factors.

If you have many tens of thousands of customers, you are probably better off with a traditional desktop, multi-user, network system like QuickBooks or Great Plains. However, smaller businesses, especially those on a budget, will find back-office "webware" to be very attractive. Also, if you have remote offices or if you have vendors (like fulfillment houses) that might need access to your data, web services are the way to go. You can buy a "read-only" account and give that to outside vendors (or employees) and they can use it (anywhere in the world) to view data, but not change anything. Large firms have Virtual Private Networks to do all of this.

The small business sector will now have the save advantage. The web is the network! One of the best things about webware is that you can truly "try before you buy" without having to download and install anything. The "demo" that you use on the vendor's web site is the same system that you will use "for real" when you subscribe. A lot of business people don't use the latest software products (or they don't update the software they have) because they fear they will have trouble installing it or learning how to use the new system. One of the advantages of webware is that everyone knows how to use a browser.

Well-designed webware is intuitive by nature... just like the web. There is hardly any learning curve. Contrast that to learning how to use one of the more popular back-office desktop systems. There is no underestimating what a well-oiled office infrastructure can do for your business.

Being able to take orders, create invoices, account for the money, keep track of customers, do your taxes, and create reports to show you how you are doing are invaluable assets to anyone running a small business. With webware, it finally gets easier..
