"This corporation is not in good standing as it has not satisfied all
state tax requirements..."
[NOTE: The site does not detail *why* they have fallen out of favor.
This could be something serious (unpaid tax bills) or something not
quite as serious (late paperwork)]

This site:
http://maps.taxnetusa.com/galvestonmaps/pdf/145-A.pdf
has a plat map of the property and surrounding commercial area(not
sure if this will be helpful, but I wanted you to at least be aware of
it).
I did not find readily-available financial/credit information for this
company. However, Experian offers a full credit report online at:
http://www.experian.com/
They have a full report for Nippon Direct in their records, and it can
be purchased online for $19.95 -- I did not have access to equivalent
reports in the databases I use.

Experian also has a full report available for:
Page Imports, Inc.

Records for Page Imports at the Michigan Dept. of Labor and Economic
Growth, Bureau of Commercial Services:

SOUTHFIELD MI 48034
# Shares: 50,000
Michigan Department of State has records for them on file at least as
far back as 1997.
Basic financial data was obtained through online commercial sources:
PAGE IMPORT EXPORT

SOUTHFIELD, MI 48034-4243
TEL: 248-352-0736 FAX: 248-352-5058

Less than 5 employees
Bob Page, Owner
They have loans and/or other financial obligations towards:
REYNA CAPITAL CORPORATION
P.O. BOX 2608
DAYTON, OH 45401
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
19500 VICTOR PARKWAY, SUITE 400
LIVONIA, MI 48152
Jim Hart is listed as the manager.
They appear to have good credit, although there is a history of a
small overdue payment in 1999.
Business is listed as "Durable Goods".
Note that their business is listed in some records as "importers" and
elsewhere as "durable goods" -- nowhere did I see specific reference
to auto parts, although their obligation towards Toyota Motor Credit
is certainly suggestive.
That's it. As always, let me know if anything is unclear, or if you
need additional information.
