Food Innovators Holding Limited

Food Innovators Holdings Limited ("FIH" or the "Company") is offering 14m shares at $0.22 each, for which 13m shares will be through placement and the remaining 1m shares via a Public Offer. The IPO will close on 14 Nov at 12 noon and starts trading on 16 Oct 9am.  FIH has two business models - the first is to be a master lease and sublease the space to other tenants and the second is to operate and manage restaurants.  The Company currently has 12 restaurants in Japan, 10 in Singapore and 4 in Malaysia.

Financial One Corporation provides a variety of services to small and medium enterprises and its business include leasing, factoring and lending. The prospectus is here. I didnt too much analysis on this stock so it will not be fair for me to commend on this company. It was priced at the lower end of its indicative range. I didnt apply for the shares for the following reasons:

(1) The float is huge. 225m shares and subject to over allotment.
(2) 70% of its income is derived from Taiwan and as it is the pre-dominant player with 40% market share there, thus upside growth in Taiwan may be limited.
(3) Personally i felt that it should have listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange to command a better valuation. Perhaps it chose to list here to avoid the political situation where investments in China could be limited by politics.
(4) Investors here may not be familiar with the Company.

It opened below its IPO price and ended flat today at $1.15 (most likely this is supported by the underwriters JP Morgan and DBS Bank). Let's see if it can prove its doubters wrong.
