GENERAL

 

Having issued 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Fontana Leather International Ltd. is jointly owned by Ms. Ng Yu Sin, holding 80% interest, and Mr. Michael Chu Shiu Keung, 20%.

The subject is trading in all kinds of finished leather and crust leather.  It is specialized in Glazed Kid, cow full grain, corrected grain, oil pull ups and box leather, calf, cow natural and dyed crust leather, buffalo calf, kid suede, kid/cow linings and industrial leathers from India, and European countries.  Prime markets are Hong Kong, China, and other Asian countries.  Business is fairly active.

The subject has got an affiliated company Real Idea Ltd. [Real Idea], a Hong Kong-registered firm located at the same operating address.

Real Idea is also operated by Ms. Ng Yu Sin and Mr. Chu Shiu Keung.  Real Idea assists high-technology companies to penetrate the global markets.  It is specialized in the major Asian languages.  Through strong partnerships with translation suppliers, Real Idea provides European and the Middle Eastern languages as well.  It offers its linguistic, engineering, and management services to clients throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States.

Real Idea’s customizable services are the followings:-

·         Software localization

·         Software internationalization

·         Multilingual translation

·         Multilingual DTP

·         Multilingual software QA testing

Mr. Michael Chu is chairman and a founding partner of Real Idea.  He is an investor and managing director of several Hong Kong-based businesses, including the subject, Fontana Leather Mercantile Co. Ltd., and Super Classic Investment Ltd.  Both are Hong Kong-registered firms.

Ms. Ng Yu Sin, the subject’s main shareholder, focuses on Real Idea’s financial management and directs the activities of software localization and internationalization teams throughout Asia.  Prior to joining Real Idea, Ms. Ng served as office manager and a project manager for LioNBridge in Beijing.  She also oversaw administration and human resources at the Beijing office of Stream Language Solutions.  She functioned as localization manager for that company and was responsible for vendor selection and project execution.  During her 12-year career in software localization and internationalization, Ms. Ng has been a manager at the Beijing branch of the R. R. Donnelly Global Language Service.

It seems that the shareholders main business is operating Real Idea instead of the subject.

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements.
