COMMENTS

 

This is a new company that took over assets and operations of an established business.  The subject is meeting its commitments timeously.  We have not traced dealings to an extent of US$1 000 000 and would prefer to see a lesser figure on a well spread basis.  The lack of financial information should be borne in mind.
