GENERAL

 

Having issued 100,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, K & S Jewellery Ltd. is wholly owned by Mr. Ashwani Kumar Deepak Chugani who is an Indian.  Chugani is a Holland passport holder and does not have the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

Chugani is the only director of the subject who currently is residing in Aruba.  Aruba, which has no administrative subdivisions, is one of the four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, together with the Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten whose citizens share a single nationality: Dutch citizen.  Chugani is a Dutch citizen.

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in a Hong Kong-registered firm located at ‘Room 12A05, 12A/F., Enterprises Building, 228-238 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong’ known as ‘Marvel Impex’ which is handling its correspondences and documents.

Marvel Impex is owned and operated by an Indian Mr. Naresh R Vaswani.  Marvel Impex is trading in piecegoods, fabrics and children’s garments, etc.

It is likely that Naresh R Vaswani is a friend of Chugani who has been permitted to use the operating address of Marvel Impex as its registered address in Hong Kong.

The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.  It is a jewellery and diamond trader.  Most of the commodities are imported from India.  Prime markets are Aruba and European countries.  Business is still under development.

It is likely that the subject has got an associated company in Aruba which is also operated by Chugani.

The Aruba firm deals with foreign parties under the name of the subject and let foreign firms correspond with the subject’s registered address in Hong Kong.  The Aruba firm also exports commodities to foreign markets under the name of the subject and its registered address in Hong Kong.

The subject’s business in Hong Kong is not active.  History in Hong Kong is just over three months.

Since the subject does not have its own operating office, history is short and has no employees in Hong Kong, consider it good for business engagements on secured basis.

 


DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA

 

-          From time immemorial, India is well known in the world as the birthplace for diamonds.  It is difficult to trace the origin of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th Century B.C.  India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of S. Africa, Russia and Australia.

-          The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires, supported by progressive Government policies.

-          The area of study of family owned diamond businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.

-          Some of the basic traits of family run business enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage and philanthropy.

-          Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.

-          The diamond jewellery industry in India today may be more than Rs 60000 mil and is rated amongst the fastest growing  in the world. Indi ranks third in the world in domestic diamond consumption.

-          Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and capital markets.

-          Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th October 2010 is as under –

 

DIAMOND SAGA – DIRTY DOZEN STUCK WITH 2K CR DEBT

This could be the biggest credibility crisis the Indian diamond industry has ever faced. Fifteen banks run the risk of losing Rs 2000 crore lent to a dozen diamond firms in Surat. Until about two months ago, they had not repaid  these dues. Bankers believe many diamantaires borrowed money during the economic downturn two years ago and diverted funds to businesses like real estate and capital markets. Many of themselves made money from these businesses but their diamond companies have gone sick and declared insolvency.

-          Most of the money borrowed from the banks in the name of their diamond business has been diverted in real estate and the share market. The banks are not in a position to seize their properties because in many cases, these were purchased in the name of their relatives and friends.
