EX PARTE MOTION TO DISBURSE FUNDS TO PAY TAX OBLIGATIONS OF DISTRIBUTION FUND

The SEC files this ex parte motion requesting that the court enter an order directing the Clerk of the Court to pay $29,500 from the Distribution Fund currently held in this case to the "Damasco & Associates, Trust Account," for payment of taxes due for the second and third quarters of 2006. In support of the motion, the SEC presents the following information. The SEC deposited into the registry of the court funds it has collected of $803,728.49, and $2,916,365.58 which are to be applied against the disgorgement that Weare was ordered to pay by the Court. These funds were deposited into interest bearing accounts, accounts numbered 1:01-CV-000645 and 1:01-CV-000645-1, under the case name designation "SEC v. Kenneth Roy Weare, et al." (collectively "the Distribution Fund"). The Distribution Fund constitutes a Qualified Settlement Fund (QSF) under Section 468B(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), 26 U.S.C. § 468B(g), and related regulations, 26 C.F.R. §§ 1.468B-1 through 1.468B-5.

By order dated January 18, 2006, the Court appointed Damasco & Associates as Tax Administrator to administer the tax obligations of the Distribution Fund. Pursuant to that Order, the Tax Administrator is required to pay taxes in a manner consistent with treatment of the Distribution Fund as a QSF, and is to be compensated for the tax services provided. For the second quarter of 2006, the Tax Administrator has determined that the Distribution Fund owes federal taxes of $15,400 for the two accounts listed above. For the third quarter of 2006, the Tax Administrator has determined that the Distribution Fund owes federal taxes of $14,100 for the two accounts listed above. The total tax liability is $29,500. See Declaration of Tax Administrator attached as Exhibit 1. To enable timely payment of the taxes, the Tax Administrator requests that the payment be made on or before September 7, 2006. Undersigned SEC counsel has reviewed the Declarations of Tax Administrator and has no objections. The Tax Administrator will file the appropriate federal and state tax returns when the tax obligations are paid. The SEC requests that the Clerk of the Court pay the $29,500 from the interest earned in the Fund before using the principal. DATED: August 29, 2006 Respectfully submitted,
