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.

Mr IPO Comments

AA is basically a publisher and awards organiser (similar to beauty pageant organiser) where in this case, it is to organise awards such as SME 100, HR Asia etc.  

For a while, from the logo and the press release , I thought AA was a "business data analytics" company and positioned as a "SAAS - Software As A Service" business, which to me, was highly misleading given that such the SAAS service has not even been launched yet (targeting Q3 2021).

Obviously if you track the US market, SAAS companies trade at very rich valuation because of the recurring nature of the business model but AA is nowhere near this model yet.  At this juncture, it is at best a media and exhibition company with its own portfolio of digital and print titles as well as exhibition business. You can read more about AA in the Edge article here.  Having said that, KGI securities find the valuation "attractive" and you can find the article here.

Since there is no public offering, I will not be doing any analysis on the company.
