HONG KONG - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Hong Kong has a free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four times GDP. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, it again faces a possible slowdown as exports to the Euro zone and US slump. The Hong Kong government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 7.8% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2011, an increase of over 59% since the beginning of the year. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's exports by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 28 million in 2011, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2011 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 43% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 56% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. Growth slowed to 5% in 2011. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly in 2010 and inflation to rise 5.3% in 2011. Lower and middle income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983.

GENERAL

 

Having issued 2 million ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Go Moda Ltd. is jointly owned by New Dragon Agents Ltd., holding 51.0% interests; Mr. Lee Yuan Jiun, holding 19.5%; Mr. Hung Chia Wei, also 19.5%; Mr. Au Chi Sing, Steven, 10%.

The subject has had a wholly-owned subsidiary Go Moda Design Ltd. [GMD], a Hong Kong-registered firm located at the same address.

The subject and GMD are engaged in the same lines of business, more or less.

The subject is a footwear trader having a factory in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China known as Dongguan Gomoda Shoes Co. Ltd. [Dongguan Gomoda].

GMD was set up by Mr. Peter Schiller Cohen who was the President and Managing Director of 3C International Holding Ltd.  3C International, a Hong Kong‑based firm, is also a footwear manufacture and trader.  Before setting up GMD, Peter Schiller Cohen has sold all his shares in 3C International to his partner, Mr. George Miu of the Effect Group.

For the past sixteen years P. S. Cohen and his wife Paola Gabriella Cohen have been lived in China and responsible for the shoes and related products development, technical and overall management of the factory of 3C International.

The subject is specialized in footwear development for global retailers and wholesalers in Europe and the United States.  Main products are women’s footwear while its main clients are The Wortman Grouppe in Europe and Bennett in the United States.

The subject’s new factory in Zhangmutou, Dongguan City, Dongguan Gomoda, covers an area of 40,000 sq.ft.  This enable the subject to have a larger and more effective sample room and product development studio.

Besides the Dongguan Factory, the subject has had a number of associated footwear manufacturing factories in China while some are in Fujian Province, China.  According to the subject, it has had about 20 affiliated footwear manufacturing factories in China.

As Mrs. Cohen is originally from Florence, she is well known in the Chinese footwear industry for serving the best Italian food in China.  Now, Mr. and Mrs. Cohen are in charge of Dongguan Gomoda in Dongguan City.

The contact person of Dongguan Gomoda is Ms. Spring Fu.

Over the span of the last 30 years, P. S. Cohen has not only held senior product positions in major brand name companies like US Shoe Corp., Caressa, Intershoe, Nina, and Nine West, but has also owned his own shoe company, Merona Sport, in the United States.  Not limited to his home country, the New York City native gained experience abroad under various titles.  After initially working back and forth between Italy and Spain as a designer, liner builder, and product manager, he added to his already impressive international resume by eventually working in Brazil, Eastern Europe, and Asia.  Currently, P. S. Cohen spends most of his time in China at his self-started women’s footwear company, Dongguan Gomoda.  Now, he is the president and CEO of this firm.

Joshua Cohen, their son, who joined in 3C International in 2002, now is in charge of the US Division of the subject.  He formerly worked in The Guess Inc. organization in Los Angeles, California, the United States.  Now, he is responsible for the distribution of the subject’s footwear in the United States.

The subject’s business in Hong Kong is chiefly handled by Mr. Steven Au Chi Sing who is a Hong Kong merchant.  He is also General Manager of the subject.  He is the co-founder of the subject with Mr. P. S. Cohen.

Since the history of the subject is over eight years, on the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
