Smart Zone Corporation Ltd. was incorporated on 23rd December, 2011 as a private limited liability company under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The subject does not have its own operating office. Its registered office is in a commercial service firm located at Unit S, 10/F., 48 Gilman Street, Central, Hong Kong known as Global Associates Ltd. which is handling its correspondences and documents. This firm is also the corporate secretary of the subject.
Formerly the subject’s registered address was located at Room 1001-1004A, 10/F., Champion Building, 287-291 Des Voeux Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong where was the operating address of a secretarial firm known as GNL11 Ltd. The subject changed its registered address to the present one with effect from 4th January, 2012 as it has changed its commercial service provider since then. The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.
According to the Companies Registry of Hong Kong, the subject has issued 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each which are wholly owned by Mr. Manish Jain who is an Indian. He is an India passport holder and does not have the right to reside in Hong Kong permanently. Currently, Jain is in Hong Kong. He can be reached at his mobile phone number 852-6485 6981. The subject’s fax number is 852-2345 6116.
According to Jain, his firm is trading in all kinds of loose diamonds such as marquise, pears, tappers, buggets and rose cut diamonds. Commodities are imported from India. It also provides other products as required by customers. Prime market is Hong Kong. It will expand its business to the other Asian countries in the immediate future. Business is under development.
Besides operating the subject, Jain is operating another firm known as Loyal Grand Trading Ltd. [Loyal Grand] which is also a Hong Kong-registered firm. Incorporated on the same date as the subject, Loyal Grand is also located at the same floor and same building. The subject and Loyal Grand are engaged in the same lines of business.
The subject may have got an associated company in India which is also operated by Jain. It is likely that the India 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 India firm also exports commodities to foreign markets under the name of the subject and its registered address in Hong Kong.
The history of the subject in Hong Kong is just over two 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.
