The U.S. And Western Europe Technology IPO Markets Have Demonstrated A Selective Recovery For High Quality Issuers

Recent tightening of the IPO and equity capital markets

The IPO market remains stronger than it was for over the previous three years, particularly in technology (but the “bar” is high)

Comparable public companies are now benefiting from improved economic conditions and trading at healthier multiples, but IPO backlog remains high

Common Issues Facing Asian NASDAQ Companies

Language barrier for key management team members

Lack of CFOs with U.S. public company experience

Credibility of financial forecasts

Managing Wall Street’s expectations

Sarbanes-Oxley compliance

Sarbanes-Oxley costs

Issues Facing Non-Chinese Companies Listed on U.S. Exchanges

Competition for investor mindshare versus their Chinese counterparts

– The focus on China has diverted investors’ attention away from companies based in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. Companies are being classified as “Non-China”

Higher size threshold for going public in the U.S.

– Unlike Chinese technology companies which have successfully gone public at market capitalizations below US$500MM, there is a higher implicit size threshold for companies based in other Asian countries
