<li>The low diagnosis rate has been one of the main reasons why the sales performance of drugs for autoimmune diseases in China is much lower than that in overseas markets.</li>
<li>Despite slightly better clinical data than dupilumab/stapokibart, MG-K10 may not achieve a significant actual clinical difference in the end. For MG-014, its prospects could be uncertain in China market. </li>
<li>Since Mabgeek has no commercialized product on the market, and the R&amp;D progress is lagging behind competing products, together with fierce competition, valuation of Mabgeek would be lower than peers.</li>

Pre-IPO Hunan Mabgeek Biotech - The Concerns and the Outlook

LongBio Pharma (Suzhou) / Equity Capital Markets

<ul>
<li>LP-003’s indications are small if compared with big indications in autoimmune diseases.So, LP-003 needs to demonstrate excellent efficacy. Otherwise, it would face fierce competition from Xolair/biosimilars, leaving limited market space.</li>
<li>The core advantage of LP-005 is that multi-target complement inhibitor has superior efficacy potential compared to single-target ones. The downside is the concerns on safety profile and slow R&amp;D progress.</li>
<li>Post-Money valuation of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/longbio-pharma-suzhou-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:45688:1" rel="noopener">LongBio Pharma </a>reached about RMB2 billion after Series C Financing. A comfortable valuation range could be RMB3-5 billion, or about 50%-150% upside from Series C Financing.</li>
