Compliance

A&B is based on high standards of Morality and Integrity. Our Corporate Board works together as a well-organized, mutually complimenting, smoothly functioning entity.

Meticulous Due Diligence is a cornerstone of our operation style and ensures careful risk management. Our combination of perception, business acumen, and well-established principles of corporate governance provides us with a very strong foundation that steers a clear course through the chapters of Commodity Trading.

Fuels, Crude Oils, and other refined products are available from our partner Title Holder / Sellers located in different parts of the world.

Price is based on Platts for refined products and Nymex for some crude oil. Working with our partner Title Holder / Sellers, we have been able to simplify the entire transaction - the Compliance Process is now the same for any product, any Seller, any set of procedures. Final Procedures are Transaction Specific - these are typical FOB Seller Port or CIF ASWP Procedures. For the Compliance Process, it will be necessary to know who the buyer or his official representative is. In case of Joint-Venture, the Compliance Process will be on the parties involving in the respective Joint-Venture.

When a Signatory Buyer is interested in learning more about any offer as outlined in one of our Overviews, the Only info we /A&B need in the beginning is "public" info which no legitimate buyer should have any issues providing to anyone :

• Corporate profile and/or Website
• Name of signatory and Title

Process operates much like Chess : The Seller provides general information / moves first ; the Buyer moves back we move again ; they reply - mutual, progressive information exchange from both sides for full disclosure and mutual comfort in the transaction. After our discussions with a Signatory Buyer, if the Buyer would like to proceed into a potential transaction, the Seller's Compliance Department will need :

• Full name of the entity buying with the full contact details including address, phone, fax, email and website (if applicable)
• Corporate profile
• Name of signatory and Title

Upon successful review (the buyer is legitimate, and the seller can legally sell to them), the Buyer will receive either an ICPO or a Request for Quote Template they simply "cut and paste" to their Letterhead for return to the Seller. This part of the process provides Buyers with a level of disclosure about the Seller (they will receive the seller's Corp overview and other information if not received previously in our personal discussions with them) and allows them to start engaging on a Principal-to-Principal basis. Once the initial documents are completed and exchanged, Contracts will be finalized, the Banks are engaged, and logistics will be worked out. Interested buyers simply provide us with the basic public-level information above, and we'll quickly have it reviewed. More confidential information regarding the legal status of the corporation the buyer intends to use, whether the signatory will be signing on behalf of a JV, their level of experience in this business, their preparation regarding logistics, and banking information will be needed as we help the buyer move into contract discussions with the Seller principal on a personal basis.

We are very conscious of our Social Responsibility as a corporation and are always striving to provide the best possible solutions. We are committed to enhancing the lives of the communities that we are fortunate to serve. Thanks.
