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.

Afor Limited


(IPO booth at Raffles Place. It was unusually crowded due to freebies offered by the launch of My Paper).

1m public shares at $0.33 each
22.5m placement shares.
Issue Manager: DMG & Partners and Primepartners Corporate Finance
Closing date: 16 January 2008

FY2007 ended 30 June 2007

Revenue - S$60m
Net profit - S$3.47m
EPS based on post share cap of 93.5m = 3.71 cents
PE based on IPO price - 8.9x

This is basically the listing of a mama shop selling someone else's product. While we can easily write off this company as one without its own products and is just a concept retailer, the encouraging thing about this entreprenuer is that he has shown you that if you have the correct concept and know the market well, you can be profitable.

A retail shop selling Apple products is more profitable than Creative with its own brands and patents?! Creative should perhaps just concentrate on R&D and sell its technology to Apple for marketing and branding.

Anyway, Apple products have also given people as the 'cool' thing to have, and the next in-thing will be the iphone that will be brought into Singapore in 2008. Challenger 1H07 sales is $65m and net profit is $3.8m, assuming a full year profit of $7.6m, the EPS is 4.06 cents and PE is around 6.77x. Challenger is trading at a cheaper valuation as compared to Afor.

Conclusion: There are better stocks with cheaper valuation around.
