GENERAL

 

Having issued 8 million ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Balcon Ltd. is wholly-owned by Mr. Subhash Dudani who is an Indian.

Mr. Dudani is holding an India passport and does not have the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

Formerly the subject was equally held by Mr. Dudani and Mr. Parmeshwar Vyas who is also an Indian.  The latter transferred all his shares to Mr. Dudani on 21st January, 2008.  Since then, the subject has been wholly owned by Mr. Dudani.

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in a commercial service firm located at 13/F., Chun Wo Commercial Centre, 23‑29 Wing Wo Street, Central, Hong Kong known as Sincere Secretaries Ltd. which is handling its correspondences and documents.  Sincere Secretaries Ltd. is also the corporate secretary of the subject.

The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.

The subject is a diamond importer, exporter and wholesaler.  It is trading in loose diamonds, emerald, precious stones, ruby jade, gem stones, semi-precious stones, etc.  Raw materials are imported from India, Belgium, and other European countries, etc.  Rough diamonds are processed in Hong Kong or China, while finished products are exported to Japan, other Asian countries, Europe, the Middle East, etc.  Business is improving.

Mr. Subhash Dudani seems to be a rather rich Indian.  His working capital in Hong Kong is over US$ 2 million.

The subject’s business is chiefly handled by Mr. Subhash Dudani himself.

Since the subject does not have its own operating office and has no employees in Hong Kong, consider it good for business engagements on L/C basis.
