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.

SBI Offshore Limited

Time to do some housekeeping. Sorry i missed this IPO because it is another Catalist listing and via placement only.

SBI Offshore Limited ("SBI") is a Singapore home-grown company supply equipment to shipyards and rig builders in Asia's offshore and marine industry.  The company is placing out 20m shares at 27 cents each and the market cap is $29.88 million and  the company's IPO was priced at 12.08x FY08 earnings

The company generated revenue of $11.72m for FY 2008 and net profit of $2.339m.
The company generated $6.3m revenue and $1.364m net profit for 4 months ending 30 April 2009.  

While the company has done well for the first 4 months, I  feel the company's revenue is still too low and need to be boosted further and  you can understand why this is still a Catalist listing.
