COMMENTS

 

This is a well established company that is not a general credit seeker locally. The subject is meeting its local commitments timeously, however, we have not traced dealings to an extent of US$1 000 000. It is suggested that dealings be to a lesser figure on a secured basis and the lack of financial information should be borne in mind.
