Remarks     

 

11-Contacted Mr. Artur Martins Azevedo – Director Administration, we requested the balance sheet of 2007, however until the moment we didn't receive an answer.

 

The information in this report were obtained from outside sources and public records.

 

 

Final Opinion                       

 

Public records information shows some detrimental information however, due to the company size and the level of its operations it is considered normal that this kind of negative information is found. Therefore, we point out that the trade reputation of the  company is good despite of the detrimental records.
