COMMENTS

 

This is an established company which is not a general credit seeker locally.  The subject is meeting its one local commitment slightly over terms at times.  We have not traced dealings to an extent of US$1 000 000 and it is  suggested dealings to a lesser extent be well spread and secured.  The lack of full financial information should be borne in mind.
