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

My Views

I was pretty surprised to read about the Company's listing in March. Even the more promising Deskera postponed its listing due to poor market sentiments. The share price tumbled from 25 cents at launch to 14.3 cents yesterday, a whopping drop of 42.8%! I pity the investors who took the shares (if they are not the friends and family) of Anchor Resources.

Gold price has seen a short rebound in 2016 when the global market sentiments took a whammy. I am not sure if the gold price has bottomed out but i am not a mining company fan.


One of the closet competitor was CNMC Goldmine which i blog about back in 2011. The post is here. Since its IPO, CNMC Goldmine has turned around and has made a profit from 2012 onwards. It made a profit of S$14.6m in 2015 and as of yesterday, it was trading at a PE of 5.86x and a price to book of around 1.87x. 

Similar to CNMC when it first came to market, Anchor Resources is still loss making and the losses has ballooned from RM6.8m for FY2014 to a loss of around RM12.6m for 1H 2015. The NAV per share is 5.82 cents versus the IPO price of 25 cents. That translates into a price to book of 4.3x! 

I would likely have given it a zero chilli since readers who have an interest in gold mining companies are better off buying the share of CNMC Goldmine. 

Happy Gold mining
