Singapore IPOs: Why I No Longer Cover Every Listing

Some readers may have noticed that I have not been writing about every Singapore IPO since last year. The simple reason is that life has become busier. Between my day job, an increasingly packed travel schedule, family commitments and desire to play more golf, I have become much more selective about how I spend my time.  Writing detailed IPO reviews takes time — reading prospectuses, analysing financials, comparing valuations and understanding the competitive landscape.

Soon Lian Holdings Limited



Soon Lian Holdings is a specialist supplier of over 1,200 different aluminium alloy products. The products are mainly sold to the marine and precision engineering industries.

Public offer - 1m shares at $0.21
Placement offer - 26m shares at $0.21.
Manager: Philip Capital

FY07:

1H revenue : S$19.8m
1H net profit: S$2.7m

FY06:

Revenue: S$31m
Net profit: S$3.3m

Assume FY2007 revenue doubled to S$40m and net profit to S$5.4m, the EPS for 2007 will be around Singapore 5 cents based on post IPO 108m shares. The market cap based on IPO price will be S$22.6m. The Company will be listed on SESDAQ and is a ultra small cap company. The listing PE is around 4.2x. Downside is limited due to the cheap valuation.

I will give it a 1 Chilli rating and give it a miss.
