Sipai Health Technology / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>The sustainability/stability of Sipai’s performance and growth potential are worrying. Sipai doesn’t have a business with core competitiveness as its foundation, thus leading to potential problems in its business model.</li>
<li>It is useless to have fast revenue growth because Sipai’s profitability is very weak, which is actually closely related to its business characteristics. Sipai is far from being breakeven.</li>
<li>Sipai is overvalued. Such high valuation is not reasonable based on our analysis. We are conservative about Sipai's outlook and we think there are much better investment opportunities.</li>
