<ul>
<li>FOREST CABIN’s been subject to administrative penalties for false advertising. The natural ingredient that consumers truly pursue holds the highest premium in essence oil, but its content/efficacy is exaggerated.</li>
<li>Pre-IPO valuation reached over RMB3.8bn. Some investors may believe that, given that FOREST CABIN's profitability has initially been proven, its valuation is attractive. However, think FOREST CABIN have some issues.</li>
<li>Valuation of FOREST CABIN should be lower than Mao Geping. A comfortable range could be P/E of 20-30x. If future growth declined/profit margin deteriorates, valuation may fall to 10-20x P/E.</li>
