Deutsche Bank Markets Research Rating Company Buy Sihuan Pharmaceutical Asia Date 4 August 2015 Forecast Change China Health Care Health Care Reuters 0460.HK Bloomberg 460 HK ADR Ticker SHPHY ISIN US82674Q1058 Price at 4 Aug 2015 (HKD) Exchange Ticker HSI 0460 4.41 Price target - 12mth (HKD) 6.00 52-week range (HKD) 6.44 - 4.25 HANG SENG INDEX More work required for trading resumption 2014 results announced; shares remain suspended Sihuan reported revenue/EPS of RMB3.1bn/0.161 for full-year 2014, representing YoY growth of 7%/30% respectively. EPS missed consensus by 4%. We believe the business fundamentals remain intact. The company suggested that pricing pressure for its exclusive products is manageable; however, the tender is delayed. The stock will remain suspended until all four conditions laid down by the HKEX are met. Retain Buy on strong growth outlook. Investors focused on timeline for trading resumption We have received numerous investor inquiries in the past several months focusing on: 1) when will trading resume, 2) when will the auditor issue an unqualified opinion, and 3) the soundness of Sihuan’s business. As outsiders, we rely on publicly available information, third-party data and historic events to arrive at our best estimates. We believe it might take three to four months for forensic experts to complete a round of review and meet the first condition of the HKEX under a blue sky scenario. We also expect an unqualified opinion as early as 2016. Additionally, hospital drug sales data and regulatory data indicate Sihuan is one of the largest drug companies by end user drug sales and has one of the best pipelines in the industry. Core businesses remain strong We believe growth momentum of flagship products continues in 2015. For Oudimei, hospital data suggest 8% YoY growth for 2Q15 QTD May vs. 16% for 1Q15 and 24% in 2014. We remind investors that our data only tracks one dosage format while Sihuan primarily markets two; as such the actual growth should be modestly higher. Yuanzhijiu achieved 54% YoY growth for 2Q15 QTD May vs. 70% for 1Q15 and 57% in 2014. We believe growth is driven by the compelling economics of this drug with contract sales agents. Kelinao exhibited 1% YoY growth for 2Q15 QTD May vs. 5% for 1Q15 and 16% in 2014. We attribute growth deceleration to a higher base. For Yeduojia, growth was 13% for 2Q15 QTD May vs. 14% for 1Q15 and 16% in 2014. Reducing price target of HKD6.0 from HKD6.5; risks We decrease our price target to HKD6.0 from HKD6.5, based on 24x 2015E EPS of HKD0.251, as we lower our EPS estimate by 5%. We believe a multiple of 24 is justified, as the company’s HK-listed peers are trading at 19x, with 19% EPS growth in 2015 (vs. the 24% we model for Sihuan). Key risks include delayed drug tenders, price erosion, supply constraints as well as prolonged forensic investigation. 24,411 Jack Hu, Ph.D Linc Yiu Research Analyst (+852) 2203 6208 jack.hu@db.com Research Associate (+852) 2203 6248 linc.yiu@db.com Key changes Price target 6.50 to 6.00 ↓ -7.7% Non-GAAP 2015E EPS (RMB) 0.21 to 0.20 ↓ -5.1% Source: Deutsche Bank Price/price relative 7.0 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 8/13 2/14 8/14 2/15 Sihuan Pharmaceutica HANG SENG INDEX (Rebased) Performance (%) 1m 3m 12m Absolute 0.0 0.0 -9.8 -6.3 -13.2 -0.8 HANG SENG INDEX Source: Deutsche Bank Forecasts And Ratios Year End Dec 31 Sales (CNYm) DB EPS FD(CNY) DB EPS growth (%) PER (x) 2013A 2014A 2015E 2016E 2017E 2,586.4 0.12 44.8 15.4 3,084.2 0.16 29.2 24.6 3,744.3 0.20 24.4 17.6 4,517.2 0.24 22.0 14.4 5,445.4 0.29 20.4 12.0 Source: Deutsche Bank estimates, company data 1 DB EPS is fully diluted and excludes non-recurring items 2 Multiples and yields calculations use average historical prices for past years and spot prices for current and future years, except P/B which uses the year end close ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Deutsche Bank does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports.

The press release stated four resumption conditions and the company believes it has met conditions 3 and 4, while majority of the work for condition 2 is complete. At present, the company has already engaged a third-party forensic expert. We estimate the process might take 3-4 months in a blue sky scenario, as we believe it might take 2-3 months for the forensic specialists to complete the review and 2-3 weeks to complete the communication process with HKEX, particularly to fulfill the requirement of condition one stated below. In a bearcase scenario, if the review fails to fulfill the HKEX requirement, another round of review from the same specialist or a different external forensic firm will result in process repetition, which may lead to another 2-3 month delay. According to a press release, HKEX has imposed four conditions on the company to resume trading. 1. Engage an independent forensic specialist acceptable to the stock exchange to conduct a forensic investigation on the allegations, to disclose the findings, to take any remedial action to address the findings, including the identified issues, and if necessary, to conduct further investigations with an appropriate scope to address the allegations. Deutsche Bank view: We estimate this will take 2-3 months based on historic examples. We have learned from past events that all delays were due to companies’ reluctance to release certain data when forensic accountants took over. However, in this case we believe management is fully aware of the situation and is prepared to collaborate. 2. Demonstrate that the company has put in place adequate financial reporting procedures and internal controls to meet its obligations under the listing rules. Deutsche Bank view: We believe this could be a relatively easy condition to be met. The company needs to demonstrate the relevant personnel, their responsibilities, as well as a clear internal control system are all in place. Sihuan indicated that this is ongoing. 3. Publish all outstanding financial results and address any audit qualifications. 4. Inform the market of all material information. Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Page 3 4 August 2015 Health Care Sihuan Pharmaceutical The second most frequent asked question is when the auditor will sign off an unqualified opinion for company financials. As a background reminder, an unqualified opinion is issued when the auditor believes the financial statements are sound. However, if the auditor has concerns on the financial statements, the following three types of opinion could be issued: Qualified opinion (except-for opinion): This will be issued when a certain exception in the statements is misstated while the rest of the statements is fairly presented. There are two situations: 1) single deviation – this occurs when some parts of the statements do not comply with the accounting standards; 2) limitation of scope – this occurs when the auditor cannot audit some parts of the statements; Adverse opinion: This will be issued when the auditor thinks the financial statements of a company are considered to be misstated and do not conform with the accounting standards; Disclaimer of opinion: This occurs in four situations: 1) there is a conflict of interest between the auditor and the company, or the auditor is not independent; 2) the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient evidence for the limitation of scope; 3) there is a substantial problem of going concern; or 4) there are significant uncertainties in the business of the company. The auditor has issued a disclaimer of opinions for Sihuan’s 2014 annual results. While the auditor did not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements, it listed the two concerns as basis, the adjustment of exmanufacturing prices and the treatment of expenses, as well as off-book transactions conducted through personal accounts. We anticipate an unqualified opinion as early as 2016, as we construe the auditor may take another year to observe two issues mentioned in the disclaimer, including adjustment of ex-manufacturing price as well as consolidation of MRAs. For the first issue, as the company indicated that it had already shifted all pricing to an ex-manufacturing price system which was decreased from the prior year. As such, this issue has been resolved. For the second one, the company made it clear that all personal accounts that were associated with this investigation were closed. In the future, no personal accounts would be used for corporate activities. Another frequently asked question is about the soundness of the company. As outsiders, we rely on third-party data that are publicly available to verify all company-reported data as best as we could. We summarize the following facts and believe it is reasonable to conclude that Sihuan is one of the largest drug manufacturers in China with one of the best pipelines. Page 4 Third party data indicated that out of the best-selling drugs in China in 2014, which we defined by generating more than RMB250m sales in 2014 in our database, five products are from Sino Biopharm, six are from Sihuan Pharma, two are from Fosun Pharma, and two are from CSPC. It is clear to us that Sihuan is one of the largest drug companies in China by end-user drug sales. Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong 4 August 2015 Health Care Sihuan Pharmaceutical Regulatory data indicated that 286 class 1 chemical drugs and 51 innovative biological compounds were filed for approval in China during 2001-2014. Sihuan has eight class 1.1 drugs filed, SBP has six.

Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst’s judgment. The financial instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors and investors must make their own informed investment decisions. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to change without notice and investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is denominated in a currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are current as of the end of the previous trading session, and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and other vendors. Data is sourced from Deutsche Bank, subject companies, and in some cases, other parties. Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements. Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk. The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own circumstances including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities, and as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar Page 8 Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong 4 August 2015 Health Care Sihuan Pharmaceutical to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable for all investors.
