==========================================START OF PAGE 1====== SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 15345 / April 23, 1997 Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jerry G. Kilgore, U.S.D.C. Colo., Civil Action No. 97-Z-633 On April 17, 1997, United States District Court Judge Zita Weinshienk issued a Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Further Relief against Jerry G. Kilgore ("Kilgore") of Aurora, Colorado, assessing a civil penalty against him in the amount of $25,000 and barring him from serving as an officer or director of a public company. The injunction prohibits Kilgore from violating Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rules 10b-5, 13b2-1 and 13b2-2 thereunder and from aiding and abetting violations of Section 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Rule 12b-20 thereunder. Kilgore consented to the entry of the injunction and to the assessment of the civil penalty and bar from serving as an officer or director of a public company without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission's complaint. In its complaint, the Commission alleged that between 1992 and 1994 Kilgore misappropriated approximately $370,000 from Microtech Medical Systems, Inc. ("Microtech"). Kilgore was president, treasurer and a director of Microtech and misappropriated the money by making unauthorized withdrawals from Microtech's bank account and by causing Microtech to pay unauthorized bonuses to himself and unearned consulting fees to relatives. The Commission further alleged that Kilgore falsified Microtech's books and records and made false statements to Microtech's accountants with the result that Microtech's financial statements were materially false and misleading.
