OK,
as I said I studied their current 10K and what I saw there really raised my interest:

1) Big Pharma background CEO

2) Not a development stage "research" oriented biotech shop but a marketer and maker of global-big-drugs in markets where no patents apply. This makes Dragon way less risky than the typical research-based biotech company without running revenes to draw from --> recurring revenues

3) Advanced Genetic engineering manufacturing techniques yield lowcost position (see PRs and 10K describing their gene sequencing production models of 3) EPO, Trombopojetin and Lymphozyte Growth factor --> low cost position

4) Once the respective patents in developed countries run out, DRUG could enter the respective market as a generics supplier. They specifically mention this with regard to EPO in 2004-2005 -> added "generics" opportunities in major markets over time

can only ask everyone to do the necessary DD, especially read the important filings (10K, 8K)

best regards to all
