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. The market cap based on the IPO price is around $24.9m. Financial Highlights FIH's revenue grew from $37.8m in FY2022 to $43.8m in FY2024. It is quite funny to see that being a master land lease holder has a higher margin than operating the restaurants, once again illustrating the point that it is better to be a landlord to shake leg and collect rent.

Saizen REIT

Saizen REIT is Singapore's first Japanese residential reit to be listed on SGX. Saizen is offering 196,740,000 Units at S$1 each. The IPO will close on Nov 5 at 8 am.



The 6.5% yield is a bit misleading as it is based from the period from 5 Nov 2007 to 30 June 2008. For the full year from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009, the yield is expected to be 5.65%. Investors who want exposure in this REIT should consider the following:
(1) Residental property outlook for the Japan market (an improving market will increase the value of the properties held by the Trust);
(2) The JPY/SGD forex rate. A weak Yen against S$ will mean a lower rental income in S$.
(3) A rise in lending rate in Japan market may increase the cost of borrowing. As it is, the borrowing cost of Yen is low, so any increase in borrowing rate will increase the cost of financing.

You will need to consider if this asset class is suitable to you. For those who punt IPOs, it is likely to be a stag on the first day due to the following:

- Good underwriters in Morgan Stanley
- Stablisation process by Manager
- Yield compression to 5% may provide some upside to IPO price of between $1.10 to $1.30
