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

Hock Lian Seng Holdings Limited


Hock Lian Seng Holdings Limited is issuing 110m New Shares comprising 2.2m Public Offer shares and 107.8m Placement shares at 25 cents each. The market cap is $127.5m.

The Company undertakes civil engineering projects and is a Grade A1 contractor (meaning it can tender for Singapore Public Sector civil engineering construction works of unlimited value.

The Company's revenue grew from $48.5m in FY06 to $194.5m in FY08 and net profit grew from $1m to $15.5m in the same period.  1H09 revenue is $109m (growth of 50%) and net profit also more than doubled to $9.4m. The ability to grow its revenue and profits will depend greatly on its ability to win contracts and "budget" for the projects accurately. Currently our construction sector is in a huge boom due to IR construction, major road projects but as it is, our land size is limited.

The company will be listed on 21 Dec 2009. At the IPO price of 25 cents, the Company is listed at 8.3x 2008 earnings based on fully diluted basis.

Assuming the current year earnings is $24m, the EPS is going to be 4.7 cents, the 2009 PER will be around 5.3x. The listing PE is cheap and on the low side but considering the "civil engineering" sector, a low PE might be warranted to attract potential investors to anchor this IPO.   However, competitors like OKP are trading at much higher premium. The Company intends to distribute 30% of its FY2009 profit as dividend and assuming its profit is 24m, the dividend will be $7.2m and the implied yield is 1.4cents or 5.6% yield. A fairly attractive yield for such a short holding period (assuming it pays out by June 2010).

Downside for this counter should be limited by the low IPO price and attractive yield and investors in OKP might want to consider this alternative if adding on to their existing portfolio or switched to this counter for higher yields (assuming you are able to get it at IPO price).
