GENERAL

 

Ballina Investments Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trillion Wealth Enterprises Ltd. which is a Hong Kong-registered firm located at the registered address of the subject.

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in a commercial service firm located at Level 28, Three Pacific Place, 1 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong known as Tricor Services Ltd. which is handling its correspondences and documents.  Tricor Strath Ltd., an associate of Tricor Services Ltd., is the corporate secretary of the subject.

The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.

The directors of the subject are Mr. Roger Leo A. Carino and Mr. Tarcisio Manguiat Medalla, both of whom are Philippines passport holders.  Currently they are residing in the Philippines.  The two directors have close connection with Paxys Inc. [Paxys].  It is likely that the subject is engaged in the same lines of business as Paxys.  Roger Leo A. Carino is the director of Paxys while Tarcisio Manguiat Medalla is the chairman of Paxys.

Paxys is a company incorporated in the Philippines and listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (symbol: PAX).  Paxys focuses on investments in the Business Process Outsourcing [BPO] industry and related sectors within the Asia Pacific region.

Paxys, formerly known as Fil-Hispano Holding Corporation, was incorporated in 1952 and was listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange in 1971.  The company closed down and sold off its tile manufacturing operations from 1999 to 2002.

In 2004, the principal shareholder of Advanced Contact Solutions Inc. [ACS], a leading call centre company, acquired a controlling stake in Paxys through a reverse takeover by injecting 100% of ACS into the company, effectively making Paxys the first call centre to be listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange.  In October 2005, the company changed its name to Paxys to better describe its current focus on BPO investments within the Asia Pacific region.

By the end of 2005, Paxys initiated its drive to transform itself into a complete BPO company.  To date, Paxys has made additional acquisitions in the areas of legal scoping and transcription (ScopeWorks Asia Inc), information technology (UR Solutions Inc.), and salary packaging administration (SmartSalary Pty. Ltd).  Paxys also jointly incorporated two new Philippine call centres – Stellar Global Solutions Philippines Inc. (together with the Stellar Group of Australia) and WNS Philippines Inc. (together with WNS Holdings of India).

Paxys has set a strategic direction that will continue to diversify its target markets and service lines to reduce exposure to one particular market or industry. In view of this strategic direction, ACS was sold in January 2011.  The resources obtained from this transaction shall be mainly used for future investments and settlement of debts.

The sale of ACS was the first step in executing the current strategy of repositioning Paxys to better capitalize on the emerging opportunities in the BPO industry.

Now, Paxys, through its subsidiaries, provides BPO and information technology [IT] consulting services in the Philippines and internationally.  It provides inbound customer management services, such as order taking, help desk, and technical support; outbound services, including telemarketing, tele‑collection, and sales verification; and other BPO services comprising research, financial administration, and human resource functions.

Paxys also provides IT consulting, project management and implementation, systems development, testing and quality assurance, product support and help desk services; transcription, editing, and proofreading services for court reporters, legal entities, government institutions, business corporations, research institutions, academic institutions, consultancy firms, and multilateral development agencies; and salary packaging administration, financial planning, car lease finance broking, and employee benefits services for corporate clients, commonwealth and state governments, health care, and public benevolent institutions in Australia.  In addition, it provides outsourced customer contact solutions, document management, transaction processing, and workflow automation technology services for telecommunications, utilities, transport, finance, government, retail, and manufacturing industries; electronic data encoding and processing; and IT solutions comprising systems integration and related services, such as business process enhancement, software development and licensing, after sales support, and outsourcing services.

Paxys was incorporated in 1952 and is headquartered in Makati City, the Philippines.  Paxys is a subsidiary of All Asia Customer Services Holdings Ltd. which is also based in the Philippines.

It is likely that Paxys 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 subject’s business in Hong Kong is not very active.

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