==========================================START OF PAGE 1====== UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 15047 / September 16, 1996 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. ENVIROMENT HOLDINGS, INC., et al., 3:95-CV-2192-H, USDC, ND/TX (Dallas Division) The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") announced that on September 3, 1996, a final judgment of permanent injunction and other equitable relief was entered in United States District Court in Dallas, Texas, against Domenick Schina ("Schina"). Without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission's complaint, Schina consented to be permanently enjoined from future violations of the securities registration and anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws based on his participation in the fraudulent offer and sale of the securities of EnvirOment Holdings, Inc ("EHI"). As alleged in the complaint, Schina, a former registered representative of a broker-dealer, received cash and free-trading EHI stock as an inducement to recommend EHI stock to his clients. The Court also ordered Schina to pay disgorgement in the amount of $125,368.81, plus prejudgment interest thereon, representing his gains from the conduct alleged in the complaint. However, based on Schina's demonstrated poor financial condition, collection of all but $25,000 was waived. Additionally, because of his poor financial condition, a civil money penalty was not imposed. ==========================================START OF PAGE 2====== PERMANENT INJUNCTION ENTERED AGAINST DOMENICK SCHINA The Commission announced that on September 3, a final judgment of permanent injunction and other equitable relief was entered in United States District Court in Dallas, Texas, against Domenick Schina (Schina).
