GENERAL

 

Having issued 3,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Peter Lam Jewellery Ltd. is a private limited company equally owned by Mr. Peter Lam Chung Shun and Ms. Maggie Li Yin Fong, both of whom are Hong Kong merchants.  They are also directors of the subject.

The subject started producing hand made larger pieces for sets to suit the Middle East market at the very beginning.  About five years later, the subject penetrated the Japanese market by creating the completely different medium‑size designs which are in great demand in Japan.  Now, its products have been further expanded to include lower end fashion items particularly for the US market.

In 1988, the subject set up its own factory in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China.  In the end of 2002, the area of the factory was expanded by some 10,000 sq.ft.  Now, the total area of the factory covers about 42,000 sq.ft.

Established in 1985, the subject is specialised in manufacturing jewellery from classic to innovative designs.  Its commitment is to produce and mount high quality diamond and precious stones in 9K, 14K and 18-karat gold and platinum.  It exports most of its products to overseas.  Major markets include Japan, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia.  About half of the subject’s products are exported to the United States, 30% to Japan and 20% to the other markets.

To keep pace with the market trend, the subject has had over 10,000 designs in its sample collections.  The ex-factory prices range from US$10.00 to US$11,000.00.  90% of the products are assembled from cast components and 10% are handcrafted.  Rings account for 60% of the total in its product range, while earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants each account for 10%.

The subject now has set up a team engaged in designing jewellery in order to suite different markets.

Besides, the subject is actively seeking market expansion, concentrating on Europe.

Over the past years, the subject has participated the following shows:-

·         Basel Fair, Switzerland

·         March Hong Kong Jewellery Fair, Hong Kong

·         JCK Las Vegas Show, United States

·         Hong Kong Jewellery & Watch Fair

·         JA International Jewelry Show, United States

·         International Jewellery Kobe, Japan

·         International Jewellery Tokyo, Japan

Including its workers in China, the subject has a workforce of over 130.

The subject had got an associate Vastdragon Investments Ltd. [Vastdragon] located at the same address.  Vastdragon was incorporated on 20th September, 1985 and had issued 1,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Vastdragon was equally owned by Mr. Peter Lam Chung Shun and his wife, Ms. Lee Wai Fong.  This firm was engaged in the same lines of business as the subject.  However, since 6th September, 2002, Vastdragon has been struck off.

The annual sales turnover of the subject ranges from US$8.0 to 8.2 million.  Overall business is satisfactory.

On the whole, the subject is considered good for normal business engagements.
