CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

In 2002 the Customs Authorities filed an indictment against subject and its General Manager, Mr. Itzhak Rothstein, for evading import taxes and for filing false documents from German supplier. In addition, the Customs and VAT Authorities issued a charge statement for over NIS 6 million for tax evasion (c/a 634/02 and 070773/03).

 

In November 2006 Bank Hapoalim Ltd., where subject used to maintain one of its account, filed a motion to the Tel Aviv District Court to enforce subject's charges and appoint a receiver to subject's assets, due to a debt balance of

NIS 16.35 million to the bank. The plaintiff claims that subject is improperly managed and suspected of showing false bills in order to obtain credit.

 

In February 2007, it was reported that according to a settlement reached between the sides, Bank Hapoalim reduced some NIS 6 million from subject's debts and cancelled its request for appointing a receiver to subject.

Subject will have to settle the balance of the debt (NIS 10.55 million), while the enforcement of the charges was postponed in 2 months, in order to allow finance from another bank.

It was reported that in these days, subject settled its debts to Bank Hapoalim and all relevant charges were removed.

 

In the past, a supplier (PACKER STEEL) reported favorably on subject's payment record.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

In view of the above said, dealings are recommended on a fully secured basis.
