<li>The entire R&amp;D cycle involves multi-party cooperation, leveraging one's strengths. So, it is not difficult to understand some of the choices made by domestic pharmaceutical companies (e.g. Innovent, BeiGene).</li>
<li>Due to outdated technology, investment value of Sirnaomics is low, which means the likelihood of the company being acquired is also not high. We remain conservative about the outlook. </li>
<li>ImmuneOnco's stock price has performed much better-than-expected after IPO on HKEX. However, the endgame of ImmuneOnco’s market value could be only about RMB1.5 billion, which means large potential downside ahead.</li>
