Southern Pacific Funding Corp., Lake Oswego, Ore., has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.This filing does not affect the operations of the following subsidiaries of SPFC: National Capital Holdings Inc.; Oceanmark Financial Corp.; Home America Financial Services Inc.; Hallmark America Corp.; and its United Kingdom operations, Southern Pacific Mortgage Ltd. However, the filing will have a negative impact on its largest shareholder, Imperial Credit Industries Inc., Torrance, Calif., which has a 47% stake in SPFC. ICI said it will write down its investment in SPFC to zero. Therefore its third quarter losses, which had been estimated at $65-75 million, will now be in the $85-95 million range.
