I. 2023 Operating Results: (Consolidated Financial Statements)

  1. Implementation overview and business plan implementation results: The operating revenue in 2023 was NTD 382,052,000, which is 7.2% lower than the 2022 operating income of NTD 411,756,000. The net income after tax in 2023 was NTD 43,678,000, which is a decrease of 41.64% compared with the net profit after tax of NTD 74,843,000 in 2022. 2023 EPS is NTD 0.72.

  2. Analysis of financial balance and profitability: Please refer to the attached financial statements for the financial overview of 2023.

  3. Research Development Overview: The expenses invested in research and development in 2023 was NTD 38,396,000, which is 21.22% lower than the 2022 expenses of NTD 48,740,000. The R&D mainly involves the products relevant to the applications of recombinant antibodies, nanobodies, miRNA, and mRNA cancer vaccine therapy platforms.

II. 2024 Business Plan:

1. Business Marketing:

Abnova engages in the sales of biological reagents for scientific research primarily through global-scale distributors and regional distributors in various countries. Abnova launched its new website in 2023, offering a more convenient and seamless online ordering experience for direct-sale customers and a user-friendly member center. The website incorporates interface concepts centering on mobile devices, presenting a fresh and improved visual appearance with enhanced user privacy protection. This aims to meet consumer demands and enhance the willingness of end customers to place orders directly on the website. In 2024, Abnova will continue to optimize its website to improve user satisfaction.

2. Product Development:

(1) miRNA Probe Customization and Catalog Products:

In Q3 2023, Abnova launched a new miRNA probe customization service and catalog products to meet the growing demand for miRNA research tools in both academic and industrial sectors. miRNA probes play a crucial role in studying miRNA expression, gene regulation, functional analysis, biomarker relevance, and drug development in biological samples. Abnova offers customization services and highly sensitive miRNA probes to meet various research needs and plans to continue expanding its miRNA catalog product line in 2024 to better cater to the evolving market demands, providing the most advanced miRNA research tools with more choices to support customers in the development of miRNA-related research fields.

(2) miRNA (circRNA) Sponge

miRNA (circRNA) Sponge is an artificial non-coding circular RNA. By integrating multiple miRNA targeting fragments on the miRNA sponge, the diversity of miRNA sponge adsorption can be increased. Compared to linear miRNA sponges, circular miRNA sponges lack 5' and 3' ends, exhibit low immunogenicity without the need for nucleoside modification, and resist degradation by nucleases, thereby enhancing adsorption stability and efficiency. miRNA sponges also overcome the toxicity concerns of traditional anti-miRNA oligonucleotides (AMOs) and dosage limitations associated with plasmid-based miRNA sponges. In 2023, Abnova successfully launched a new miRNA sponge product line and plans to expand its catalog product line in 2024 to provide stable and efficient miRNA sponge products, supporting both in vivo and in vitro miRNA research fields.

 miRNA Sponge Technology:

  • https://www.abnova.com/en global/support/technologies/circrna_sponge

(3) Recombinant Antibodies:

Recombinant antibodies are antibodies prepared through DNA sequence recombination technology, distinguished from the traditional preparation of mouse monoclonal antibodies, which involves immunizing mice, isolating B cells from their spleen or lymph nodes, and then fusing them with myeloma cell lines to select hybridoma cell lines that secrete antibodies. In contrast, recombinant antibodies are prepared through in vitro DNA sequence recombination technology, where the genes encoding the antibody's light and heavy chains are inserted into expression vectors and transfected into host cells for antibody expression. Recombinant antibodies offer several advantages, including high specificity and sensitivity, as well as superior batch-to-batch consistency. Furthermore, recombinant antibodies allow for antibody quantification using mammalian cell lines, eliminating the need for antibody quantification preparations relying on mouse ascites production, thus adhering to the 3R principle of animal experimentation.

Abnova provides a variety of high-quality recombinant antibody options rigorously tested for their specificity to meet diverse customer demands for antibodies. In 2024, Abnova will continue to improve the qualitative results of its recombinant antibody catalog products to meet customer needs with more comprehensive qualitative data.

  • Recombinant Antibody Catalog Products:

  • https://www.abnova.com/en global/product/specializedproductsearch/recomab

(4) Nanobodies:

Compared to traditional antibodies, nanobodies demonstrate several significant advantages. Nanobody molecules have a molecular weight of only one-tenth that of traditional antibodies, rendering better solubility and easier penetration of cellular tissues. Nanobodies possess higher antigen affinity, enabling them to bind more firmly and stably to antigens. Meanwhile, the low immunogenicity of nanobodies reduces the risk of immune reactions. The mass production of nanobodies can be made possible rapidly and stably through mammalian cell lines. These advantages make nanobodies promising in a wide range of applications in medical research, disease diagnosis, and treatment, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, where they have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional antibodies. Abnova's nanobody products not only offer customized services but also launched a nanobody catalog product at the end of 2023. In 2024, Abnova will continue to expand its catalog of targeted human gene-related nanobody products, providing refined catalog products to meet customer demands and offering more convenient choices for customers.

(5) CellTX[TM] Regeant for Cytotherapy:

The cytotherapy market continues to thrive, especially in the field of cancer treatment. Abnova has integrated the CellTX[TM] cytotherapy product line from the end of 2023 to 2024, meanwhile launching three types of cytotherapy reagents:

  • (1) GMP-Grade Protein for Cell Culture in Cytotherapy:

  • Cytotherapy procedures require the isolation and expansion of specific cells in vitro, and various cytokines are needed during the culture process to expand specific cells. Abnova is committed to meeting the high-quality demand for GMP-grade proteins for cell culture in the cytotherapy market. In Q1 2024, Abnova launched GMP-grade proteins specifically designed for cytotherapy cell culture to meet the growing demands of the expanding cytotherapy market. Abnova also provides cytotherapy culture proteins for scientific research purposes to meet different user needs.

  • (2) The Humanized Monoclonal Antibodies Relevant to Cytotherapy: Humanized monoclonal antibodies retain the complementarity-determining region sequences of mouse monoclonal antibodies, maintaining the affinity and specificity of the original mouse monoclonal antibodies. Other sequences are modified through humanization engineering to replace them with human antibody sequences, reducing immunogenicity and improving test safety. These antibodies are crucial in cancer research and the development of new drugs for autoimmune diseases. Leveraging years of antibody production experience, Abnova provides premium humanized monoclonal antibody catalog products for cytotherapy research through antibody humanization engineering, offering customers convenient research tools to meet the rapid development needs in the field of cytotherapy.

  • (3) Human and Mice CD3/CD28 ActiveBeads[TM] :

  • The cytotherapy process involves isolating specific cells from the blood for activation and expansion in vitro. Therefore, suitable cell activation reagents are essential for developing cytotherapy drugs. In 2023, Abnova began developing T-cell activation reagents. Through various processes including the development of CD3, and CD28 monoclonal antibodies to antibody humanization, and coupling of humanized antibodies with beads, Abnova successfully developed Human CD3/CD28 ActiveBeads[TM] . Furthermore, Abnova simultaneously launched Mouse CD3/CD28 ActiveBeads[TM] in response to the demand for mouse model testing in the development stages of cytotherapy drugs, meeting the needs of users in various stages of development.

  • CellTX[TM] Cytotherapy Reagent Catalog Products: https://www.abnova.com/en-global/product?category=BA0000000000

(6) mRNA Cancer Vaccine Treatment Platform Development:

The Abnova mRNA cancer vaccine therapy platform integrates antigen targets, expression vector design, and non-viral vector technology with LNP delivery, replacing the slow virus system with high manufacturing costs and limited scalability under the existing business models. It is expected that in 2024, optimization of the mRNA cancer vaccine for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) will be completed through testing in mouse models,

  • 6 -

followed by GLP preclinical animal studies and pharmacokinetic tests. Based on the data, continuous progress will be made to refine preclinical trial data.

III. The effect of external competition, the legal environment, and the overall business environment

1. External Competition:

In recent years, the health of humankind and the global economy has been impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 and various infectious diseases, leading to increasing attention to the biotechnology and medicine industry.

Various countries have introduced incentive policies, which will attract many competitors to join, but also promote the vigorous development of the biotechnology and medical industry, cultivating more outstanding talents, which is expected to contribute to the long-term development of the whole industry.

2. Legal Environment:

Abnova strictly controls product quality and has ISO9001 certification of Neihu Plant. In response to the needs of different products and countries, relevant laws and regulations of various countries shall be followed. Meeting the above specifications will increase the management and application costs, but at the same time, it can also guarantee product quality and improve customer recognition.

3. Overall Business Environment:

About 97% of Abnova's products are exported, and the main sales areas are America, Europe, Japan, etc. The transaction currency is mainly USD, followed by Euro. Since the recent fluctuations in the US dollar exchange rate have had an impact on the Company, the financial department closely observes the exchange rate trend and timely assesses whether to conduct hedging derivative financial commodity transactions to reduce the exchange rate risk.

In 2024, Abnova will adhere to the original intention of professionalism, focus, and quality, and continue to push itself for deeper technological innovation. Looking forward to the future, it may face variable operational opportunities and challenges. Abnova will continue to strengthen its competitive strength and accumulate more growth momentum to create better operating results.

Appendix 3

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statement section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judge that shall be communicated in the audit report are as follows:

1. Inventory valuation

Please refer to Note 4(8) “Inventories”; Note 5(1) “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(5) “Inventories”.

Description of key audit matter:

The major business of the Group is the manufacturing and sales of antibodies, proteins, test reagents, and testing instruments. Inventories are measured at a lower cost and net realizable value. Due to the longer life cycle of the products, the management considers factors such as product circulation, exposure, preservation, and industry information to evaluate the net realizable value of inventories. As Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries have a large amount of inventories and a large number of items, and the net realizable value used in the above-mentioned evaluation involves subjective judgment, the evaluation of loss allowance for inventory valuation has been listed as the key audit matter of the year.

  • 9 -

Our principal audit procedures included:

The key audit procedures for the above-mentioned key audit matter based on the understanding of the industrial characteristics of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries include obtaining statistical information on the sales time and sales status of the products on the shelves in each year provided by the management in the subsequent years to evaluate the rationality of the policy used to recognize the inventory valuation loss; understanding the Group and its subsidiaries inventory management process, reviewing the annual inventory plan and participating in the annual inventory check to evaluate the effectiveness of the management’s inventory control; obtaining the inventory net realizable value calculation sheet, and spot checks the correctness of the calculation.

Other matter

Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concerned and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the

  • 10 -

effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group’s to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial reports, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • F. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  • We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

  • From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years that ended by the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits by the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statement section of our report. We are independent of the Company by the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities by these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judge that shall be communicated in the audit report are as follows:

1. Inventory valuation

Please refer to Note 4(7) “Inventories”; Note 5(1) “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(5) “Inventories”.

  • 16 -

Description of key audit matter:

The major business of the Company is the manufacturing and sales of antibodies, proteins, test reagents, and testing instruments. Inventories are measured at the lower cost and net realizable value. Due to the longer life cycle of the products, the management considers factors such as product circulation, exposure, preservation, and industry information to evaluate the net realizable value of inventories. As the Company has a large amount of inventories and a large number of items, and the net realizable value used in the above-mentioned evaluation involves subjective judgment, the evaluation of loss allowance for inventory valuation has been listed as the key audit matter of the year.

Our principal audit procedures included:

The key audit procedures for the above-mentioned key audit matter based on the understanding of the industrial characteristics of the Company include obtaining statistical information on the sales time and sales status of the products on the shelves in each year provided by the management in the subsequent years to evaluate the rationality of the policy used to recognize the inventory valuation loss; understanding the Company’s inventory management process, reviewing the annual inventory plan and participating in the annual inventory check to evaluate the effectiveness of the management’s inventory control; obtaining the inventory net realizable value calculation sheet, and spot checks the correctness of the calculation.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements by the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concerned and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted by the auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on these financial statements.

As part of an audit by auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • 17 -

  • B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company’s to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial reports, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • F. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on these financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
