CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned on subject itself.

 

Both companies SECOTEC TECHNOLOGIES (1986) LTD. and GAL-DOR SYSTEMS LTD. operated for years since late 1980s/ beginning of the 1990s in the areas of security and facilities protection, with sales worldwide.

At some stage, GAL-DOR SYSTEMS LTD. stumbled upon grave financial difficulties, until reaching bankruptcy. In November 2006, the Tel Aviv District Court Judge issued a liquidation order for the company and appointed Attorney Ran Buchman as the special manager for the company's assets (bankruptcy file No. 1754/06).

In February 2007, it was reported that Attorney Ran Buchman is asking the Court to summon the company's former managers Zvi Nachman and Yehuda Nachman to provide details regarding the moves which led to the company's collapse. The attorney claims that there are grounds for suspicion that certain unlawful actions were taken by the above managers prior to the liquidation and there are motives to investigate their responsibility for the company collapse.

 

We assume that this may be a reason to the fact that Mr. Ilan Nachman is the registered shareholder and director in subject, while it is quite clear that the business know-how and experience is of Yehuda Nachman.

 

SUMMARY

 

In principle, subject itself is suitable for trade relations, however taking into account the above mentioned affair, we strongly recommend cautious in providing credits and follow-up.
