 BACKGROUND
 

 

 


SC is considered a normally advancing concern with steady customers and good base to meet its trade engagements.  The large amount of inventory could be a threat to SC’s financial condition. A credit line at the above amount appears beyond SC’s capacities, while a credit line up to USD 7,000,000 is recommended upon a periodical review basis.
