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. According to the prospectus, the PER is around 19x. The Company intends to pay 20% of its net profit after tax a

Cacola Furniture International Limited


(IPO booth at Raffles Place. Unlike China Hongcheng, it never showcase its products)

Cacola Furniture International Limited ("Cacola") designs, manufactures and distributes a wide range of modern- style home and office furniture in the PRC. This is an interesting sector to be in right now in China as the 'middle-class' in China start to get more affluent and they want to invest in good apartments and decorate their homes with nice furnitures.

Public offer: 4.5m shares at $0.32
Placement: 114.5m shares
Manager: Boulton Capital Asia
Underwriter and Placement: CIMB



The Company has been growing at >25% annually in top and bottom line for the last 3 years. Based on the Q107 growth over Q106, it is likely that the revenue for this year will likely cross the S$100m and net profit will cross the $20m mark. My forecast is that sales for 2007 will range between $107m to $120m and net profit will range between $18m to $22m (may surprise on the upside). Based on the post-IPO share cap of 345m shares, the EPS will range from 5.2 cents to 6.4 cents.

The peers listed in Singapore includes: HTL (not exactly similar space) trading at 6x historical, Man Wah (more similar) trading at 13x historical and Koda (not exactly similiar) trading at 10x historical. I will give it a fair value of 8x-10x PE conservatively for China Play and that will give Cacola a fair value of between 42 cents to 64 cents based on 2007 EPS estimates. At 42 cents, it represents a upside which is more than 30% from the IPO price.

What may possibly derail the "IPO stag" will be:
(1) Large placement float of 114.5m shares
(2) Lack of support from CIMB and investors post listing (see share price of China Hongcheng today which is below its IPO price)
(3) Sentiments turning sour on the stock market.
