<li>Although Yan Palace prioritizes R&amp;D capabilities in prospectus, its revenue growth and business model are mainly relied on large investment in marketing/promotion.The root cause is the efficacy problem of EBN.</li>
<li>Whether Yan Palace's future performance growth can be sustained is a question mark if marketing/promotion cannot drive growth anymore. Net profit margin is low. EBN is not a profitable business.</li>
<li>Yan Palace's products do not have core competitiveness or high moat. Compliance risks are also worth being vigilant about. The valuation of Yan Palace should be lower than <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/giant-biogene-holding-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:35950:1" rel="noopener">Giant Biogene</a>.</li>
