 Final Opinion

 

We are reporting an offshore company which belongs to foreign shareholders. Although it is registered in the Cayman Islands, it uses such territory only as its legal and administrative address, but all its operations are carried out abroad. It is managed by a resident registration agent and it is unknown in the marketplace, so its commercial morality and general reputation cannot be assessed, although nothing detrimental is noted upon subject.
