Like Anderssen's Opening, 1.a3, 1.h3 is a time-wasting move, as it makes no claim on the central squares, nor does it aid development.It also leads to a slight weakening of White's kingside, albeit not as severely as Grob's Attack (1.g4) or Barnes Opening (1.f3).
For many players at club level, who want to avoid studying masses of opening variations, 1.a3 can often be very useful because in many cases Black's first move will be e5 or d5 or c5 thus allowing White to play a strong Black defence as a mirror image i.e Sicilian or Kings Indian etc which will compensate for the loss of a tempo with 1.a3.
