The short version

Len Kemp is listed as a director on 12 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2009 and Jan 2012: ROYALE ENERGY INC (El Cajon, CA — oil and gas — 2009–2012; $3.35M reported sold to 70 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Donald H. Hosmer (12 shared filings), George Watters (12 shared filings), Harry E. Hosmer (12 shared filings), Stephen M. Hosmer (12 shared filings), Tony Hall (12 shared filings) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Len. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Royale Energy (2 issuers, $100K reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Royale Energy has 2 companies on file and $100K reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 12 public filings for Len Kemp and found 13 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

13 differences found between the filings for Len Kemp — 1 worth asking about (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Deals 1

Every issuer that named Len Kemp on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
