COMMENTS

 

This is a well established company meeting commitments timeously.   No adverse comments have been heard and the subject is considered equal to its normal business engagements.  A figure of US$1 000 000 is more than the subject’s annual turnover and we would prefer to see a far lesser figure well spread.  The lack of full financial information should be borne in mind.
