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

Zhongguo Pengjie Fabrics Limited

Zhongguo Pengjie Fabrics Limited is offering 88.8m new shares (nice no.) in its initial public offer that will close on 7 Aug 2008 (12pm) of which 2m shares are for public and the rest via private placement. (Finally we see a company that is not selling vendor shares).

The Company did not bother to set up an IPO booth at Raffles Place so no photograph of it this time. The Company specialise in the manufacture and production of yarns and fabrics and its products are sold mainly in PRC to apparels manufacturer. (Not another yarns and fabrics company?!). Investors may want to take note that the IPO is being advised by Omega Capital Limited which was recently barred by SGX from handling IPOs until it can get its act together. This IPO must be one of the remaining few IPOs managed by them.

The IPO is priced at 23 cents per share and is priced at 6.27x FY2007 PE. The market cap post-ipo is S$81.4 million. Pre-IPO investors got in at 19.1 cents and were not allowed to sell any vendor shares, so i think the pre-ipo investors must have gotten in during the "peak cycle" in July last year. The Manager's asset management firm is also a pre-ipo investor.

The sales and net profit for FY2007 is RMB 486m and RM67.2m respectively. Assuming net profit grow by 20% into FY2008, the net profit will be RM80.64m. Based on Post-IPO shares of 353.8m shares, the EPS is RMB 22.8 cents or Singapore 4.56 cents. At the IPO price of 23 cents, it is priced at 5x PE.

The peers listed on SGX includes C&G Industrial, China Sky and Li Heng. C&G just announced a poor set of results and the price gapped down 25% today. It is trading at 2.5x rolling PE and below its NAV right now. China Sky is trading at 5.13x rolling PE with S$680m market cap. Li Heng is trading at single digit 6x historical PE and is a billion dollar company. With valuations so low for bigger and more established company, Zhongguo Pengjie is just one of the many small fabrics SMEs in China. Investors who like this sector will be better off investing in China Sky and Li Heng instead. C&G slower-than-expected growth for Q1 might be an indication of slow-down and consolidation in this sector. Give this counter a miss.
