The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate and in the public interest that a proceeding be instituted pursuant to Sections 15(b)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") with respect to Ronald Bajorek, Jr. ("Bajorek"). In anticipation of the institution of these proceedings, Bajorek has submitted to the Commission an Offer of Settlement which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission, or to which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings of fact or conclusions of law, except those contained in paragraphs III.A. and B. below, which are admitted, Bajorek consents to the entry of this Order Instituting a Public Proceeding, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions ("Order"). II. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that a proceeding pursuant to Sections 15(b)(6) and 19(h) of the Exchange Act is hereby instituted. III. On the basis of this Order and the Offer of Settlement submitted by Bajorek, the Commission finds that: A. From at least 1987 through 1989, Bajorek was a manager of the Santa Barbara, California branch of Power Securities Corp. ("Power"). During the same period, Power was a broker-dealer registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; B. On September 23, 1998, in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Power Securities Corporation, et al. (C.A. No. 90-S-1579), the United States District Court for the District of Colorado entered a final judgment permanently enjoining Respondent from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder; and C. The Commission alleged in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Power Securities Corporation, et al. (C.A. No. 90-S-1579) that Respondent, during 1988, engaged in repeated fraudulent conduct, including directing that representatives of Power's Santa Barbara office make fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions in connection with the offer and sale to customers of several penny stocks. IV. In view of the foregoing, it is in the public interest to impose the sanctions specified in the Offer of Settlement. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: A. Bajorek is barred from association with any broker, dealer, investment company, investment adviser or municipal securities dealer with the right to reapply for association after two years with the appropriate self-regulatory organization or, if there is none, with the Commission; and B. Bajorek is barred from participation in any offering of penny stock with the right to reapply for participation after two years with the Commission. By the Commission. Jonathan G. Katz Secretary
