("HWL"), one of the largest conglomerates based in Hong Kong.

Chi-Med was established in 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HWL. It's global licensing deal with AstraZeneca on Volitinib, represents the first deal of this type to progress a China discovered targeted oncology drug towards the global market. The company earned a $20 million upfront payment with up to $120 million contingent upon the successful achievement of clinical development and later double-digit percentage royalties on net sales. The company has 5 additional drugs in development, they have turned profitable only recently and finally started generating free cash flow. A director has bought shares in October with trade value of £100k. The pharmaceutical industry in China is booming, the country represents 20% of world population but only 1.5% of the total drug market. I believe that if the company executes it's strategy well, it will offer incredible profit potential in the future. Financials and Fundamentals
