express our appreciation to each of you who have supported us, guided us and
participated with us in the course of serving our associates, advisors,
clients, vendors, and funding partners. In one respect, we are all family,
related in our pursuit of excellence, and trying our best always to give
great service with integrity and honesty. During 2004, Pacifica Capital

Capital Equipment
Acquisition
Planning & Budgeting for 2005
Many firms begin "next year" planning in December. Plans and budget strategies often include a capital equipment acquisition plan for the coming year. Sometimes a simple plan can help take advantage of market factors such as equipment markdowns and discounts, anticipated interest rate increases and used equipment utility and depreciation timetables. Pacifica Capital works with customers and vendors to prepare financing programs that matrix with the firms' capital equipment acquisition plans. By laying the groundwork for equipment acquisition, Pacifica and its vendors and customers can help meet equipment purchase and delivery deadlines and installation schedules. This is especially true in complex transactions that require long lead times and/or multiple location installations of equipment. For information on capital equipment acquisition strategies, contact your Pacifica Capital national account manager.

Hof Leasing Dynamo
Pacifica's financing dynamo Philip Hof has developed a
specialized financing program on behalf of a global manufacturer of high
performance automotive test equipment and dynamometers. The leasing program,
which provides 100% financing to U.S. automotive test, repair and
calibration firms features flexible financing for a wide range of automotive
test equipment costing from $15,000 to $100,000. The automotive aftermarket
industry has consistently grown in size and scope given the interest in
customized, specialty and uniquely designed cars, trucks and motorcycles.
Recently Las Vegas hosted the annual automotive aftermarket shows consisting
of SEMA (Speciality Equipment Manufacturers Association), AAPEX (Automotive
Aftermarket Products and Equipment Exhibition) and NACE (International
Autobody Congress and Exhibition). As an indication of this growing
marketplace, the combined shows filled both the expanded Las Vegas
Convention Center and the Sands Convention center with total attendance
exceeding 100,000 automotive equipment professionals. The dynamometer
financing program allows automotive manufacturers, race teams, R&D houses,
fleet operators, suppliers and safety inspection programs the leverage of a
budget a cash flow solution which, in turn, positions the equipment to pay
for itself through use and corresponding revenue production.
