·         all activities shall be conducted only in non-Macao currency (other than for the purpose of paying local expenses);

·         the target customers cannot be Macao residents; and

The subject in fact is controlled by Mr. Vincent Chan Chun Sing who is a Hong Kong merchant.

The subject has got an associated company in Hong Kong known as Jordache International (Hong Kong) Ltd. [Jordache] which is a garment trader.  The subject is also a garment trader.

The parent company of Jordache is also MG Overseas.  Chan Chun Sing is one of the directors of Jordache.  In fact, he is administering the business of Jordache as well as the subject.

The subject and Jordache are garment traders.  They are carrying the following brands: “Dittos” (Licensee), “Blue Star” (Licensee), “Fubu Ladies Collection” (Brand Owner), “Gasoline®” (Brand Owner), “KIKIT® Jeans” (Brand Owner), “Steve Madden” (Licensee), “U S Polo Assn.®” (Brand Owner), “Jordache®” (Brand Owner), “Jordache Vintage®” (Brand Owner), “Earl Jean®” (Brand Owner), “Maurice Sasson®” (Brand Owner), etc.

Currently, Jordache has got an affiliated factory in the Philippines employing about 1,200 persons.

The subject carries the same commodities as Jordache, more or less.  It carries suits and jackets, blouses, jeans, dresses, etc.  Most of the garments are exported to the United States and Europe.

The Jordache Group is a leader in denim garment distribution.  Jordache was set up by three brothers from Israel.  Arriving in New York in the early 1960’s, the Nakash brothers, Joe, Ralph, and Avi, opened their first jeans store by 1969.  In a few years, they expanded their business to four stores in the United States.  Throughout the early 1970’s, the Nakash brothers kept their eyes on the European jeans market.  Joe, Ralph, and Avi brought that “European-look jeans” to America and made it the “Jordache look”.

The results were staggering.  Sales skyrocketed from US$72 million in 1979 to US$600 million by 1986.  Throughout its history, Jordache has remained to be a fashion leader.

Today, the Jordache label is popular worldwide.  Over 100 licensees employ the Jordache name for their products.  Items such as eyewear, luggage, bedding, footwear, cosmetics and perfume, intimate apparel, even diapers, represent a sampling of the demand for the Jordache name.

Jordache is a privately held conglomerate with an international reach.  Besides its own brands, Jordache also manufactures private label denim for well-known companies, including Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s and Abercrombie & Fitch, among others.

In addition to its apparel business, Jordache has heavily invested in worldwide residential and commercial real estate, holding a major interest in a private jet charter service and owns an award-winning olive oil company “HALUTZA®”.

Jordache’s owned production facilities are located in Jordan, Madagascar, Kenya, Marocco, Mexico and Mauritius.  Each facility is fully integrated with in-house cutting, sewing, wet-processing, sand-blasting, embroidery, finishing and packing capabilities.  Jordache’s two distribution centres in New Jersey and Louisiana can support large-scale replenishment programs and are available for use by the private label division.

Jordache’s private label division develops and manufactures garments for other well-known brands.

The private label division is committed in good production quality and relies on Jordache’s extensive global resources, which include its wholly-owned factories, distribution centres and strategic international alliances.

The private label division has produced a variety of apparel — men’s, women’s, girls, boys and plus size, ranging from mass to premium — for companies including Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Express, Gap, Levi’s, J.C. Pennys, Sears, Old Navy, Express, Limited Too and Tommy Hilfiger.

In addition, the subsidiary of the Private Label division is Jordache which handles products development, technical supporting, raw materials purchasing and finance supporting.

Some of Jordache’s garments are manufactured by contracted factories in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, etc., apart from manufactured by its own factory in the Philippines.  In recent years, Jordache’s garments are chiefly sourced from China and Thailand.  Main products are trousers, slacks, dresses, skirts, denim products, jeans, etc.

Set up by its holding company, the subject sometimes is responsible for acquiring raw materials, receiving payments for Jordache for the evading of certain amount of taxes in Hong Kong.

Jordache is employing about 30 persons, annual turnover ranges from HK$550 to 600 million.  The sales turnover of Jordache Group for fiscal year ending December 2007 was about US$190 million.  Making a rather good profit in the year.

The Chairman and CEO of Jordache is Mr. Joseph Nakash who is an American residing in New York.

On the whole, since the subject has not registered in Hong Kong, consider it not suitable for any business engagements.
