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

Mary Chia Holdings Limited


(This person is not Mary Chia :P but the spokeswomen "李锦梅")

Mary Chia Holdings Limted is one of the leading lifestyle and wellness service provider in Singapore. It is offering 24.565m new shares at 23 cents per share to investors via placement only and will be listed on the Catalist and the offer will close on 6 Aug 2009 at 12pm.

Revenue has grown from $10.84m in FY2006 to $13.46m in FY 2008 while net profit increased from $0.75m to $3.05m in the same period. The NTA post IPO will be 3.3 cents. The earnings per share for FY 2008 assuming the service agreement is in place will be 1.60 cents and based on the IPO price of 23 cents, the company is being priced at a historical PER of 14.4x (expensive!). The market cap post IPO will be $37.6m

You would have known by now that i dont like Catalist listings as a high percentage of the proceeds raised are paid to the Sponsors. I have no idea what is the point of raising $5m and giving $2m away. It is crazy! In addition, post listing, the mother - Mary Chia and her daughter - Wendy Ho, own 81% of the company and investors are purely minority shareholders. Prior to the IPO, the company has also declared generous dividend to its owners and the company still owes money to the founders post IPO. Given the low profitability, the Company will still pay generous package of at least $500,000 to the founders.

Avoid this IPO. The business is too localised with many unlisted competitors such as Expressions and Jean Yip.

Totally agree. Even without reading any financials, I personally do not think Mary Chia is unique or stand-out in the market.

Any opinion on the upcoming latitude tree IPO? The recent lucrative premium incurred from PEC and Mary Chia IPO had defied financial analysis and spur my interest in short term trading.

Any idea how do i approach to apply for this placement? I'm new to catalyst IPO and my PEC work was made easier with online application. Help is much appreciated!
