SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]


Tempo Financial Corporation; Order of Suspension of Trading

March 28, 2005.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that the 
public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension of 
trading in the securities of Tempo Financial Corporation (``Tempo'') 
because of concerns that Tempo may have unjustifiably relied on Rule 
504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 in conducting an 
unlawful distribution of its securities that failed to comply with the 
resale restrictions of Regulation D. Questions also have been raised 
regarding potentially manipulative transactions in Tempo's common stock 
by certain individuals associated with the company. Tempo, a company 
that has made no public filings with the Commission or the NASD, is 
quoted on the Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol TPOF.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the 
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the above-listed 
company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST, March 28, 2005 
through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on April 8, 2005.

    By the Commission.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
