GENERAL

 

Having issued 3.5 million ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, JK Diam Ltd. is wholly owned by Mr. Shaileshkumar Popatlal Lukhi who is an Indian.  He is also the only director of the subject.  He is an India passport holder and does not have the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently.

Formerly the subject had just issued 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, increased to the present number in April 2011.

Incorporated in May 2010, the subject’s registered address is located at Flat C, 7/F., Han Chung Mansion, 8-10 Hankow Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.  This office is not in a commercial building but a residential building.  It is likely that Lukhi is residing in this address when he is in Hong Kong.  The residential building is not trespassed by outsiders.

The subject has an employee in Hong Kong known as Mr. Sameer A. Vora who is the marketing manager of the subject.  Sameer A. Vora can be reached at his mobile phone number 852-9561 1795.

The subject is a diamond importer, exporter and wholesaler.  Most of its commodities are loose diamonds and white diamonds, which are imported from India.  Another significant product of the subject is diamond ring.  Products are marketed in Hong Kong or re-exported to the other Asian countries, North America and even South America.  Business has been improving in Hong Kong.

According to the subject, it is a leading supplier in NATTS diamonds in the Mumbai market of India.  Now it has targeted on the east Asian market while Hong Kong is the foothold.  This is the reason why the subject has been set up.  The subject can supply all kinds of NATTS diamonds ranging from US$30.00 to 500.00.  It also can supply white and white NATTS diamonds in all sizes.

The subject has got an affiliated company in India known as J.K. Star which is in Mumbai.  J.K. Star is trading in the same kinds of products as the subject.  It is also the main supplier of the subject.

In order to penetrate the international market further, the subject has taken part in fairs and exhibitions held in Hong Kong and other foreign large cities.  For instance, it is going to take part in “HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show 2012” which will be held in Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Wanchai, Hong Kong during the period of 16th to 20th February, 2012.

As the history of the subject in Hong Kong is just over a year and eight months, on the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements on secured basis for the time being.


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.
