GENERAL

 

Lion Forestry Ltd. is almost wholly-owned by Mr. Mohammed Azim Ali.  Ali is a Canada passport holder and current residing in Sarawak, Malaysia.  Minor shareholder Mr. Jaideep Sharma is an Indian residing in India.

The directors of the subject are Mohammed Azim Ali and Anil Kumar Sharma.  The latter is an India passport holder and residing in Delhi, India.

Incorporated in Hong Kong in January 2003, the subject is trading in timber and log (mainly round timber logs and sawn timber).  Most of the commodities are imported from Malaysia.  Prime markets are Hong Kong, China, India, other Asian countries, etc.  It is likely that Ali, who is residing in Sarawak, is responsible for the sourcing of timber in Sarawak as the region is rich in forestry resources.  Jaideep Sharma who is in India is responsible for the distribution of timber in the country.  It seems that the subject has got affiliated companies both in Malaysia and India.  Business is rather active.

The subject’s total amount outstanding registered with the Companies Registry of Hong Kong as at mid-January, 2010 amounted to HK$161.3 million.  It got loans from bank in December 2009.  The subject has got banking facilities from Punjab National Bank by depositing a sum of US$2 million in the Bank.  However, as at mid-January, 2011, the subject did not have any outstanding.

The subject’s business is chiefly handled by Mr. Jain Sudeep who is an Indian.  He is also the General Manager of the subject.

The subject is a member of The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong.  It joined in as a member in 2006.

On the whole, having a history of over eight years and two months in Hong Kong, the subject is considered good for normal business engagements.
