President and CEO, Ranch Communities of America, LLC
Mr. Fleischer previously served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Franchise Finance Corporation of America I, a Delaware corporation ("FFCA I") (a predecessor corporation of the Company) since its formation in 1980. Mr. Fleischer has acted as an individual general partner (or general partner of the general partner) of the eleven public limited partnerships that were consolidated to form the Company in 1994.In addition, he was a general partner (or general partner of the general partner) in the following public limited partnerships which invested in travel plazas or commercial land development and were liquidated in 1999 and 2000: Participating Income Properties 1986, L.P.; Participating Income Properties II, L.P.; Participating Income Properties III Limited Partnership; and Scottsdale Land Trust Limited Partnership.
“Well known entrepreneur Mort Fleischer has announced the formation of a new company, Ranch Communities of America (RCA), offering a revolutionary new lifestyle concept at an unprecedented value with numerous amenities in a retirement and recreational residential real estate community.
The dynamic vision for RCA results in a concept that will fill a "product void" for truly affordable living in an environmentally sensitive community focusing on recreation and retirement living for the middle-income market of all ages.
According to Fleischer, there has never been a community developed like RCA. He believes that today's homebuyers are looking for small town, country-style western living, rich in retirement and recreational amenities with a premium focus on lifestyle.
"Our concept for building Ranch Communities of America, at the scale and price point for the middle income America buyer, is as revolutionary as when Del Webb introduced the Sun City concept to the retiree market 40 years ago." said Fleischer.”
“Fleischer, who serves as President and CEO of RCA, sees the same potential in RCA that he did with his last venture as CEO and founder of Franchise Finance Corporation of America (FFCA). His success with FFCA has been well documented, taking the company with capitalization of $150,000 and building it into the largest independent chain store single tenant real estate finance company in the United States. FFCA was listed on the New York Stock exchange and was sold to GE Capital in August of 2001 for approximately $2.5 billion. Fleischer believes that FFCA's incredible success is attributed to the fact that it filled a capital void in the financial market that it addressed, and he believes that RCA will enjoy the same success because it will be filling an underserved product void.”

Chairman and Founder, Ameritrade Holding Corporation
J. Joe Ricketts is chairman and founder of Ameritrade Holding Corporation. Over the course of his career, Mr. Ricketts has been recognized as an international leader in developing new services for the self-directed investor.
In 1975, Mr. Ricketts was a founder of First Omaha Securities, a retail securities brokerage firm in Omaha, Nebraska. Among the first to enter the discount securities marketplace, the company, through the use of innovative technology and marketing, has grown significantly and evolved into its present corporate structure. Today, Ameritrade Holding Corporation is a recognized national leader in securities trading and clearing.
In 1982, Mr. Ricketts was the first person to achieve a “No Action” letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allowing a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) to share commissions with a financial institution. This milestone opened a new era in the securities marketplace by establishing third-party discount brokerage services for financial institutions, banks, savings and loans and credit unions and presently operates as AmeriVest, Inc.
In 1988, Mr. Ricketts introduced the first quote and order entry system using a touch-tone telephone, now a common practice.
In 1994, he established Ceres Securities, Inc. with its $18 flat rate trading, which rapidly became the fastest growing firm in the nation. In 1995, Mr. Ricketts purchased K. Aufhauser & Company, Inc. and its WealthWeb, the first firm to offer securities trading over the Internet, receiving the first order in August of 1994.
The year 1996 saw the introduction of the first computer software to make available the tools of institutional investing (program trading and basket trading) to independent investors via the nationally acclaimed Accutrade for Windows software. Later that same year, Mr. Ricketts established eBroker; an Internet-only brokerage firm that grew rapidly as Internet-savvy consumers discovered the convenience of discount brokerage on the Web.
This multiple-branding strategy, designed to test cost reduction, service and pricing levels through different companies, produced invaluable marketing information. The new, consolidated brokerage firm Ameritrade, Inc., launched in the fall of 1997, was built from this wealth of market knowledge. Ameritrade brought together Ceres, Aufhauser and eBroker into one new firm with a magnetic combination of services and the lowest pricing in the marketplace, designed to build market share with the best value for its customers.
In 1998, Mr. Ricketts introduced an option trading simulation game called Darwin: Survival of the Fittest. In 1999, he brought OnMoney, an Internet based financial services mall, to the marketplace.
Mr. Ricketts was a member of the District Business Conduct Committee of the NASD, District No. 4 from 1996 to 1999. He currently is on the Board of Directors of the Securities Industry Association (SIA) as well as a former member of the SIA’s Regional Firms Committee and Small Firms Committee.

Former Chairman and CEO, JPMorgan Chase
(“The 1975 to 1976 recession created difficulties for banks, as many companies failed and real estate values plummeted. Rockefeller and Willard C. Butcher, who had been named president in 1972, confronted the problems directly. They quickly put problem loans on nonaccrual status and immediately charged off loans once it became clear they would not be repaid.”)
http://www.jpmorganchase.com/cm/cs?pagename=Chase/Href&urlname=jpmc/about/history/chase
Banking has changed radically over the past fifty years, and few people have witnessed more of those changes than Willard Butcher, the retired chairman of the Chase Manhattan Corporation.
After graduating from Brown, Butcher spent forty-three years at Chase, ten of them as its chief executive. As a young credit officer ably handling loans for a number of large commercial clients, Butcher came to the attention of David Rockefeller, a banker-statesman of legendary stature who was then Chase’s chairman. Butcher was eventually chosen by Rockefeller to head the international department, one of the bank’s most exciting and prestigious units. In 1972 Rockefeller promoted Butcher to president. It was a difficult time for Chase. The bank was facing a period of declining earnings and aggressive competition. Under Butcher’s leadership, however, earnings returned to healthy levels and Chase surpassed its archrival, Citicorp.
“Bill Butcher took an organization that was flat on its back,” one analyst noted several years ago, “and brought it back to respectability, more than respectability.”
