Comments :

Though subject is a pretty old company, it seems to be passing through difficult times. The company has not filed any financial, after 2003 with the government registry. The management remained non - cooperative. As per last financial of 31.03.2003, the company had some accumulated losses. Payments are reported to be slow and delayed.

 

The company can be considered for small to mediocre business dealings with slight caution initially.
