FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Mr. Francisco Hernández, Accountant, asked us to send our request in writing so it could be presented to management for their evaluation and approval. He promised to give us a response in the following days, however we had not heard from him yet to moment of preparing this report.

  

Information contained on this report was obtained from outside sources and complemented with certain data we also had available in our files. It should be mentioned although an exhaustive search was made it was not possible to get financial statements or other financial data for the company, and/or more trade references allowing us to perform a better analysis.

  

FINANCIAL SITUATION  : UNDETERMINED

Subject's financial Position is considered Undetermined since there is insufficient financial figures to allow an accurate analysis on results. Absence of figures prevents us from evaluating the relation between debts and shareholder's equity as well as operative results and there is insufficient credit experience to know its creditworthiness.  Mostly such refusal to show financial statements hides financial imbalance, this opinion is not definitive
