· Under the agreement to transfer rights of Rivoceranib with Advenchen Laboratories, we will secure the global rights (including China) of Rivoceranib held by Advenchen and will receive royalty from Hengrui Medicine this year, starting with the sales in Hengrui Medicine in 2019.

· Also, we are expecting stable and long-term operating profit since we will receive royalty for Elevar's global sales on Rivoceranib starting from next year.

· In other words, with the following contract, we secured both current and future cash flows, all of which will be added up as an operating income.

· Paul Chen, director of Elevar and a major shareholder of HLB, was convinced that Rivoceranib approved by the FDA and subsequently expand in value, thereby increasing HLB's enterprise value and receiving a significant portion of HLB's stock.
