Because of heightened awareness of the country’s vulnerability to biologicalattacks and the increased threats of new or rare lethal diseases (such as outbreaksof West Nile virus in the US, Ebola in Africa and SARS in Southeast Asia andChina), GenPhar’s business strategy has become uniquely attractive for adevelopment stage company.GenPhar’s Platform Technology: GenPhar’s patented technology platform isextremely adaptive and can support vaccine development for infectious diseaseswith high social and economical impacts, such as AIDS, hepatitis C and atherapeutic hepatitis B vaccine. These vaccines have shown unprecedentedabilities to induce powerful humoral and cellular immune responses in small animaland non-human primate tests. Because of the enormous demands of thebiodefense vaccines and the shortened pathway to market in the United States,GenPhar has elected to concentrate on its biodefense vaccines and has enteredinto a joint venture with a Chinese biotechnology company. GenPhar licensed itsvaccines for AIDS and hepatitis B to the JV. In exchange, the JV will manufacture,test, achieve approval for and commercialize the vaccines for sale in the GreaterChina market. GenPhar owns a minority interest in the JV. More importantly,GenPhar retains the rights to these vaccines elsewhere in the world.GenPhar’s first phase of commercialization is to provide licensed rights ofbiodefense vaccines that include the Ebola, Marburg, and dengue vaccines to thegovernment. The second phase will be to manufacture the vaccines for theDepartment of Defense (including its allies) and the Department of HomelandSecurity to stockpile and replace any expired vaccines in the following years. Thethird phase will be to commercialize the dengue, AIDS, and hepatic C vaccines forcivilian markets. The company will strive to provide financial returns to its investorswith profits of the licensing and sale of the biodefense vaccines and provide itsinvestors with an exit strategy by entering the public stock market at an appropriatetime.Contract Information:John Dong, M.D., Ph.D.CEOGenPhar, Inc.dongj@genphar.comGenPhar Research and Production FacilityPage 25
