(3) VLP and Nanodisc Membrane Protein Expression Systems:
Membrane proteins are critical targets for many drugs. However, due to their highly complex transmembrane structures, challenges such as structural instability, loss of activity, and improper membrane insertion during expression and purification have long limited their functionality, making membrane protein research and drug development a persistent bottleneck.
Abnova integrates two core technology platforms—VLP (Virus-Like Particle) and Nanodisc—to overcome the limitations of conventional preparation techniques, enabling stable expression while preserving the structural integrity and functional activity of membrane proteins:
- VLP platform: Composed of virus-like shells, this platform can stably encapsulate membrane proteins and simulate the native membrane environment. It does not contain viral genomes and therefore ensures a high level of safety.
- Nanodisc platform: Provides a membrane environment similar to that of natural cell membranes, allowing membrane proteins to maintain correct structure and activity. Without the need for surfactants, membrane proteins can be stably dissolved in aqueous solutions, facilitating downstream analysis and drug screening.
Through multiple validations of biological activity and structural integrity, Abnova has demonstrated that membrane proteins prepared by these two platforms exhibit high stability and reproducible functionality. This technology not only overcomes key challenges in membrane protein preparation but also establishes a scalable, reproducible, and industry-ready technical foundation for basic research, drug discovery, and clinical applications.

(4) circRNA Sponge
circRNA Sponge is an artificial circular non-coding RNA that integrates multiple miRNA-targeting sequences, thereby enhancing the range of miRNA adsorption. Compared with linear RNA sponges, circRNA Sponge lacks 5′ and 3′ ends, exhibits low immunogenicity without the need for nucleoside modification, and is resistant to exonuclease degradation, thereby improving adsorption stability and efficiency. circRNA Sponge also overcomes the toxicity concerns associated with traditional anti-miRNA oligonucleotides (AMOs) and the dose limitations of plasmid-based circRNA Sponge. Abnova has successfully overcome challenges related to production capacity and purity and has validated the biological activity of circRNA Sponge in cell-based in vivo assays. This stable and highly efficient circRNA Sponge product line supports miRNA research in both in vitro and in vivo assays.

(4) RNAutomation™ mRNA Upgrades :
With the rapid emergence of mRNA vaccines and RNA therapeutics, the demand for RNA in vitro transcription (IVT) technologies continues to grow. However, conventional manual workflows are prone to RNA degradation, batch-to-batch variability, and operator-induced errors, which reduce reproducibility and significantly increase development costs and time pressure. To meet the need for high efficiency, stability, and reproducibility, automation techniques have become a key driver in advancing RNA research and application development. Since 2019, Abnova has been dedicated to developing RNA IVT platforms. Building on its long-accumulated capacity in RNA cancer vaccine development, Abnova has launched the world’s first integrated RNA automated production platform—RNAutomation™ mRNA Upgrades System. With Opentrons Flex™ as its core, the system integrates pre-validated software, reagents, and consumables from Abnova, enabling automated execution of IVT, capping, oligo(dT) purification, and cellulose purification processes. It consistently produces mRNA with high uniformity and reproducibility, suitable for pharmacological evaluation, dose optimization, and preclinical research.
Regarding the hardware configuration of RNAutomation™ mRNA Upgrades System, in addition to the standard Opentrons Flex™ components—including thermal cyclers, temperature modules, heater-shaker modules, magnetic modules, and high-precision liquid-handling modules—it also introduces Abnova’s self-developed vacuum suction module. This module enables the purification process of cellulose to effectively remove double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) impurities commonly seen during mRNA production, thereby improving mRNA purity and quality.
Through default automated software procedures combined with pre-validated reagents and consumables, the system enables the automatic completion of IVT, capping, oligo(dT), and cellulose purification processes. Abnova also provides customized process software development and validation services to meet diverse customer requirements in process design and production scale.

1. External Competition:
In recent years, the health of humankind and the global economy have been impacted by the outbreak of 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.
- 5 -
- 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 uncertainty in the international political and economic situation, 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 transactions to reduce the exchange rate risk.
In 2026, 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.

(Note) The Company incurred a net loss after tax of NT$1,141 thousand for the fiscal year 2025. This figure represents the percentage of net loss after tax.
1. Please describe the policy, system, standard, and structure of remuneration to independent directors, and the correlation between duties, risk, and time input with the amount of remuneration:
(1) According to Article 26 of the Company's Articles of Association, "the directors of the Company may get paid monthly, the amount of which shall be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the normal level of the industry". The Company has set reasonable remuneration for independent directors different from that of directors.
(2) Depending on the level of involvement, contribution value, responsibilities, and risks borne by individual directors in the Company's operations, and considering industry standards, the Board of Directors has decided the following: a director may receive a monthly remuneration of NT$20,000; meanwhile, an independent director is entitled to a higher-than-director monthly remuneration in the amount of NT$30,000, owing to their additional dedication of time and effort on the reviews in committee meetings as a part of their concurrent roles as members of the Company's remunerations committee, audit committee and risk management committee.
(3) If there is a profit for the Company in a year, the Company shall, in accordance with Article 24 of the Articles of Incorporation, cover the accumulated losses from preceding years. If there is still a profit after deducting the profit before the distribution of employee remuneration and directors' remuneration from the annual pre-tax profit, no less than $1\%$ shall be allocated for employee remuneration (among which a portion no less than $0.5\%$ of the said profit shall be distributed to non-executive employees) and no more than $3\%$ for directors' remuneration.
The correlation between remuneration paid to directors and performance review results:
(1) Remuneration: Based on the individual director's level of involvement in the company's operations, contribution value, responsibilities, and risks, the Board of Directors will determine the compensation in consideration of industry standards
(2) Directors' Compensation: According to Article 24 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the allocation criteria are based on the director's attendance rate and continuing education hours, and in accordance with the Company's "Board of Directors Performance Evaluation Procedures," each director (including independent directors) conducts a self-assessment on various aspects such as their understanding of the company's goals and tasks, involvement in operations, internal relationship management and communication, professional development, internal controls, and other duties.

(5) The correlation between remuneration paid to managerial personnel and operating performance and future risk exposure:
For the remuneration payable to managerial personnel by the Company, in addition to evaluating the Company's overall operational performance, future business risks, and development trends, reasonable compensation is determined with reference to the individual's attendance and job performance.

In addition, rewards and punishments are evaluated based on the special contributions or performance of employees. The performance review is divided into the following grades: A (90% or above) for outstanding performance, B (80%-90%) for good performance, C (70%-80%) for acceptable performance but requires improvement, and D (below 70%) for poor performance that fails to meet job requirements.

| 1. Describe the board of directors' and management's oversight and governance of climate-related risks and opportunities. | The Board of Directors serves as the highest decision-making body for sustainability-related matters, and it also holds the highest supervision unit on climate-related risk management. As climate change has become a globally shared concern, the company actively addresses the uncertainties brought by extreme weather and rapid market changes, stays informed and assesses the potential impacts of climate change. Moreover, the company continuously assesses the risks posed by heavy rainfall, typhoons, heatwaves, and droughts across all operational sites. By closely observing external environmental changes, policy trends, and market dynamics, the company is able to take a more comprehensive approach to developing its overall business strategy. In alignment with the vision and mission of the company's sustainability policy, the Board regularly evaluates climate-related risks and opportunities, response strategies, and related promotion plans. It is also responsible for reviewing the annual risk management report and internal audit report to ensure the effective implementation of climate risk management systems. The Company has established a functional committee, the Sustainability Development Committee, which is composed of three independent directors. The committee assists the Board of Directors in supervising sustainable development issues and meets at least once a year. In 2025, one meeting was held in total. The company has also established a "Sustainability Task Force" led by the Chairman, who serves as the highest-level responsible person. The task force comprises senior executives from various fields, working together to assess the company's core operational capabilities and to formulate sustainability development plans. The Sustainability Task Force functions as a cross-departmental communication platform that facilitates both top-down and horizontal coordination. It is divided into five functional subgroups based on key sustainability topics: the environmental sustainability group, the social responsibility group, the corporate governance group, the risk management group, and the information security group. These groups are responsible for identifying sustainability issues relevant to the company's operations and of concern to stakeholders. They develop response strategies and working guidelines, evaluate the required resources across different units, plan and implement related actions, and continuously monitor outcomes to ensure that sustainability strategies are effectively integrated into daily operations. The Environmental Sustainability Group is responsible for implementing climate-related management projects. In addition to closely monitoring regulatory trends related to climate change, the group also collects and verifies relevant climate information to ensure compliance. Based on the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, the company has established a PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) management cycle for promoting goals such as greenhouse gas reductions, water conservation, and waste reduction, as well as recording and analyzing information. Since 2022, the Board of Directors has reviewed the implementation of GHG inventories and verifications on a quarterly basis to confirm progress. In 2025, a total of four reports on the implementation of GHG inventory and verification were submitted to the Board as a progress update. The Sustainability Task Force also reports to the Board at least once a year. On August 13, 2025, a report was submitted outlining the company's sustainability initiatives and implementation status, including assessments of climate-related risks and opportunities, the formulation of management policies, and the performance of energy-saving and carbon reduction targets. The Board remains committed to managing climate-related risks and opportunities, upholding the company's responsibilities in environmental, social, and corporate governance while striving for long-term business sustainability. |
| 2. Describe how the identified climate risks and opportunities affect the business, strategy, and finances of the business (short, medium, and long term). | The company classifies climate-related risks into two categories: 1. Transition Risks, associated with the shift toward a low-carbon economy, and 2. Physical Risks, related to the direct impacts of climate change. In addition, climate-related opportunities are listed. The Sustainability Task Force assesses and discloses climate impacts that are most directly related to business activities, along with corresponding response measures, in order to identify potential risks and opportunities. Through the company's standard "Integrated Risk Assessment Form", the three most critical transition risks and two key physical risks have been distinguished. Likewise, through the "Integrated Opportunity Assessment Form", the two most significant climate-related opportunities have been identified. |
| 3. Describe the financial impact of extreme weather events and transformative actions. | The following is a consolidated explanation of how these identified climate risks and opportunities may impact the company's business operations, strategies, and finances. The effects of extreme weather events and transition actions on finance are also identified. The company defines its time horizons as follows: Short-term: 1 to 3 years; Mid-term: 3 to 5 years; Long-term: 5 to 10 years. |

These efforts align with future market trends and meet stakeholder expectations, contributing to a more positive brand image and greater stakeholder recognition. | By offering electronic catalogs and product introductions instead of printed direct mail, and by sending electronic dividend notifications instead of traditional mail, the company reduces both paper usage and postage expenses—saving approximately NT$100,000 per year. | Through low-carbon services, the Company has effectively reduced paper waste and the energy consumption required for delivery, thereby mitigating environmental impact. In 2025, the quantity of paper used decreased by 15%, and the total expenditure decreased by 24%. | |
| The company conducts financial impact assessments for transition risks, physical risks, and opportunities as a reference for developing strategies to mitigate risks and enhance opportunities. The financial impact of transition risks primarily arises from increased operational costs associated with advancing sustainability initiatives and implementing control measures. The estimated impact is approximately 0.5% of total revenue. | |||||||
| The financial impact of physical risks mainly stems from preventing extreme weather, which includes investment in infrastructure maintenance and employee health and well-being benefits aimed at strengthening the company's climate resilience, such as flood prevention. The estimated impact is less than 0.5% of total revenue. (As for potential reputational losses caused by climate-related events, since there is currently no globally accepted methodology for quantifying such financial impacts, the company has adopted a benchmark of 0.5% of revenue as the quantitative financial impact of this risk based on internal and external expert consultations.) |

The company’s Board of Directors has approved the "Risk Management Policies and Procedures", aiming to establish a proactive and robust risk management system. This system adopts a balanced approach to risk and benefits and includes the identification and control of climate-related risks and opportunities associated with the execution of business strategies. The Risk Committee is responsible for reviewing the risk management framework and the overall risk profile. Each department, based on its operational scope, is required to identify and assess various types of risks, including operational, financial, legal, information security, environmental, and other relevant risks. Response strategies are then developed based on risk identification results. The company integrates and manages potential risks that may impact operations and ensures that risk-handling actions are effectively implemented in all departments. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of changing risks and enable timely adjustments to relevant management policies and measures, the company aims to achieve proactive prevention and mitigation of potential impacts. Environmental risks related to climate change are primarily identified and assessed by the Risk Management Task Force, which evaluates potential risks the company may face in response to global warming and extreme climate conditions. The team is responsible for exploring how to establish more effective disaster prevention mechanisms to reduce impacts, while also fulfilling the company’s corporate social responsibility and strengthening environmental protection efforts. Subsequent response measures, monitoring, reporting, and disclosure are jointly carried out by the Environmental Sustainability Task Force. This team reports to the Risk Management Committee at least once per year, and to the Sustainability Development Committee at least once annually on the implementation status.
The global climate crisis caused by global warming is escalating, and in order to protect the earth together and support the government’s 2050 Net Zero Roadmap, the company has appointed the Environmental Sustainability Task Force (comprising the EHS and facilities teams) to oversee environment-related management and implementation. The team actively promotes concrete actions including water conservation, carbon emissions reduction, waste reduction, eco-friendly packaging, and resource recycling. The task force also evaluates and discloses climate-related impacts most directly associated with business operations, identifies potential risks and opportunities, and ensures that critical climate risks are effectively controlled. It reports its performance to the Board of Directors at least once annually and provides quarterly updates on GHG inventory and verification progress, ensuring that climate risk management mechanisms are effectively enforced.

The Sustainability Project Team and the Risk Management Committee identify key risks and opportunities that require the Company's focused attention. | Assessment
Through the application of the risk management mechanisms, the probability of occurrence and potential impact of identified risks and opportunities are evaluated to determine material issues. |
| | Response Strategies and Financial Impact
For material risks and opportunities, the Company conducts financial impact assessments and formulates corresponding response strategies. Ongoing implementation and monitoring of these strategies are carried out to ensure effective management and continuous improvement. | | |
| 5. If scenario analysis is used to assess resilience to climate change risks, the scenarios, parameters, assumptions, analysis factors and major financial impacts used should be described. | 1. Background:
Responding to climate change is a critical factor in ensuring long-term business sustainability. With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the likelihood and severity of associated disasters have also intensified.
To assess potential risks, the company has conducted scenario-based simulations to evaluate the possible operational and financial impacts in the event that extreme rainfall causes significant flooding and disrupts normal operations at its sites. | | |
| | 2. Scenario Assumptions:
According to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the company adopts the latest AR6 global warming scenarios and climate projection data. These climate change scenarios are developed by integrating the work of multiple research communities on international climate change and are structured around the concept of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), which combines socioeconomic pathways with greenhouse gas radiative forcing.
The scenario descriptions are as follows: | | |
| | Explanation of greenhouse gas emissions under SSP scenarios | | |
| | Emission scenarios | Explanations | |
| | SSP5-8.5 | Very high GHG emissions: CO_{2} emissions are expected to double around 2050. | |
| SSP3-7.0 | High GHG emissions: CO_{2} emissions are projected to double around 2100. | | |
| SSP2-4.5 | Medium GHG emissions: CO_{2} emissions begin to decline around mid-century, but net-zero emissions will not be achieved before 2100. | | |
| 3. Parameters Used:
Under the four SSP emission scenarios, simulations were conducted for short-, mid-, and long-term periods based on the "Rainfall indicator - Annual maximum daily rainfall" to assess whether the company's operational sites are located in high-risk areas prone to extreme rainfall events. | | | |

The company has formulated a low-carbon transition plan from these strategies and aims at reducing both direct emissions from operational activities (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 2). The proactive carbon reduction actions in the plan include: | ||
| (1) Improving energy efficiency to minimize GHG emissions from manufacturing and operations. | |||
| (2) Gradually replacing high-energy-consuming equipment with energy-efficient alternatives. | |||
| (3) Accelerating internal GHG inventories and external verifications in accordance with the company’s GHG inventory and verification plan. | |||
| To achieve these goals, the company actively reduces its carbon emissions by adopting the GHG Protocol as the guiding standard for GHG inventory. It conducts GHG inventories across all operational sites and manages key climate-related indicators. Moving ahead, the company will conduct annual reviews of climate risks and actions, evaluating the appropriateness of response measures. On the other hand, Abnova continues to develop new products and technology platforms to meet the market needs of disease research and treatment. By supporting innovation in basic science, drug development, and targeted therapies, the company also seeks to address health challenges arising from climate change at their root. | |||

| 7. If internal carbon pricing is used as a planning tool, the basis for setting the price should be stated. | The company is not categorized as a high electricity-consuming or energy-consuming enterprise. Currently, Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) has not yet been implemented. However, the company will assess the appropriate timing for its adoption based on actual operational needs and carbon management developments. In the future, the establishment of an internal carbon pricing mechanism will follow the "Climate Change Response Act" and refer to the market-based approach adopted by the "Taiwan Carbon Solution Exchange." The goal is to define an internal carbon price that reflects the costs incurred from the negative impacts on the environment caused by greenhouse gas emissions. | ||
| Once internal carbon pricing is implemented, the company plans to internalize carbon costs into its operations and integrate them into financial decision-making processes. An internal carbon quota system will be established, setting emission limits for each unit and converting the carbon quota into costs. (e.g. if a unit exceeds its allocated quota, it will be required to pay a corresponding carbon cost.) This mechanism will assign a carbon cost to each unit of energy consumption or product produced. The associated costs will be incorporated into budgeting, investment decision-making, and procurement processes. Through this approach, the company aims to take concrete action to strengthen carbon management and move toward sustainable operations progressively. | |||
| 8. If climate-related targets have been set, the activities covered, the scope of GHG emissions, the planning horizon, and the progress achieved each year should be specified. If carbon credits or renewable energy certificates (RECs) are used to achieve relevant targets, the source and quantity of carbon credits or RECs to be offset should be specified. | The company is not classified as a high electricity-consuming or energy-consuming enterprise. At this stage, there are no plans to use carbon offsets or Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to achieve climate-related goals. | ||

Description of greenhouse gas emissions (in metric tons of $\mathrm{CO}{2}\mathrm{e}$) and emission intensity (metric tons $\mathrm{CO}{2}\mathrm{e}$/million NTD) for the past two years, along with the scope of data coverage.
In accordance with the Sustainability Development Roadmap for TWSE and TPEx Listed Companies, the GHG inventory and assurance schedule for both the individual company and the consolidated company is as follows:

The consolidated company has established its greenhouse gas inventory mechanism in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, jointly published by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the World Resources Institute (WRI). Beginning in 2024, the company conducts annual GHG inventories covering both the individual company and all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of GHG usage and emissions and serves as the basis for verifying the effectiveness of emission reduction actions.
The GHG inventory data is compiled using the Operational Control Approach, measuring the GHG emissions of the company and all subsidiaries under its consolidated financial report. As all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial report have no physical operations or employees, they generate no greenhouse gases. Therefore, the GHG emissions of the company are equivalent to those of the consolidated company.

GHG emission reduction baseline year and reduction targets:
Abnova places great importance on sustainable development and deeply understands that every action we take today will have a profound impact on the future. Driven by this mission, we are committed to fostering a culture that inspires employees to work together toward environmental friendliness, with the shared vision of building a better future. We also strive to meet stakeholder expectations through transparency in information disclosure. Under the strategic objectives of “promoting low-carbon services,” “enhancing resource efficiency,” and “moving toward net zero,” the company is dedicated to making concrete contributions to environmental and climate change issues.
To plan a GHG reduction strategy, a consolidated greenhouse gas inventory was completed in 2024, using the consolidated financial report as the boundary. The baseline year was set in 2024.
Following the operational control approach, (baseline year 2024) the Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for the consolidated company are 24.55 metric tons CO₂e and 869.34 metric tons CO₂e, respectively. Through the implementation of an energy management plan, the company aims to Achieve an annual 1% reduction in GHG emissions compared to the previous year and Reach a GHG reduction target of over 10% by 2030, compared to the baseline year (2024).
Greenhouse gas Reduction Strategy and concrete action plan:
According to the Energy Efficiency 2025 report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global energy efficiency improvement rate in 2025 was approximately 1.8%. Despite showing an upward trend compared to the previous year, overall progress still falls short of international climate targets. Proactively improving energy efficiency remains the core key to balancing energy security, cost control, and climate change mitigation. Achieving long-term sustainable development and net-zero emissions will require a multi-pronged approach through government policy incentives, technological innovation, and corporate commitment. To reach our greenhouse gas reduction goals, the Company monitors progress through the Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Project Team. Our reduction strategies and initiatives are as follows:
| Item | Strategies for reducing greenhouse gases | Explanations of concrete action |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Energy-saving lighting equipment | All lighting fixtures in office areas, laboratories, and public corridors are being replaced with LED energy-saving lights. Due to the improved illumination effects of the new fixtures, the total number of lights installed is also reduced, resulting in lower electricity consumption. |
| 2. | Implementation of temperature control mechanisms | In alignment with government energy-saving initiatives, air conditioning temperatures in office and operational areas have been standardized at 26°C to prevent electricity consumption from excessive cooling. |
| 3. | Energy-saving air conditioners and refrigeration equipment | Outdated refrigerators and air conditioners with high energy consumption are being gradually replaced with energy-saving models or upgraded with energy-saving compressors to improve overall energy efficiency. |
| 4. | Choosing low-fuel-consumption company vehicles | The company operates one vehicle primarily for transporting items between the Taipei headquarters and the Zhongli plant, as well as for employee business use. A low-fuel-consumption model is selected to reduce fuel usage. |
Carbon Reduction Strategy and Action Plan for 2030:
Abnova is actively implementing a variety of energy-saving measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Through concrete actions, the company aims to achieve its carbon reduction targets by 2030.
- 90 -
| Item | Strategies for reducing greenhouse gases | Explanations of concrete action |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Continuous implementation of temperature control mechanisms | In line with government energy-saving initiatives, the temperature of air conditioners in office and work areas is uniformly set to 26°C to reduce electricity consumption caused by excessive cooling. |
| 2. | Replacement of equipment with high energy and electricity consumption in various phases | As a low-energy-consuming enterprise, the company’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions comes from purchased electricity (Scope 2), which accounts for 96.69% of total emissions. To improve energy efficiency, the company plans to gradually replace high energy and electricity consumption equipment with those certified with energy efficiency labels. |
| 3. | Reinforce energy conservation habits among all employees | Promoting concepts of energy conservation and carbon reduction among employees: turning off unused electrical appliances, adhering to air-conditioning temperature controls to avoid excessive cooling, and encouraging using public transportation for commuting. These everyday habits of energy conservation and carbon reduction can help safeguard our environment and ecology. |
| 4. | Incorporating GHG Reduction Targets into the indicators of operating performance evaluation | To ensure that both the management team and all employees are actively engaged in achieving GHG reduction goals and improving energy efficiency, key environmental objectives have been integrated into the company's operational performance evaluation indicators. Progress is reviewed regularly, and a reward system is implemented to support the consolidated company's path toward the goal of net-zero emissions. |
Progress on Emission Reduction Targets
The consolidated company has set a target to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 1% compared to the previous year. In 2025, greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 6.87% compared to 2023, and in 2024, a further reduction of 6.35% was achieved compared to 2023. The company has successfully met its emission reduction goals for two consecutive years. Looking ahead, we will continue to monitor implementation progress and effectiveness, actively contributing to environmental protection and aligning with the global consensus on achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Based on the findings of a self-assessment, Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation states the following with regard to its internal control system during the year 2025:
-
The Company is aware that the establishment, implementation and maintenance of the internal control system is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the managers of the Company. The Company has established the system for the purpose of guaranteeing the reliability, timeliness and transparency report of the effectiveness and efficiency of the operation (including profitability, performance, asset security, etc.) and ensuring all are in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
-
An internal control system has inherent limitations. No matter how perfectly designed, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance of accomplishing the three aforementioned objectives. Moreover, the effectiveness of an internal control system may be subject to changes due to extenuating circumstances beyond our control. Nevertheless, our internal control system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and the Company takes immediate remedial actions in response to any identified deficiencies.
-
The Company evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system based on the criteria provided in the "Regulations Governing the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies" (herein below, the Regulations). The criteria adopted by the Regulations identify five key components of managerial internal control: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) monitoring activities. Each component also includes several items which can be found in the Regulations.
-
The Company has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid Regulations.
-
Based on the findings of such an evaluation, the Company believes that, on December 31, 2025, it maintained, in all material respects, an effective internal control system (that includes the supervision and management of our subsidiaries), to provide reasonable assurance on our operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability, timeliness, transparency of reporting, and compliance with applicable rulings, laws and regulations.
-
This Statement is an integral part of the Company's annual report for the current period and prospectus and will be made public.

(3) VLP and Nanodisc Membrane Protein Expression Systems:
Membrane proteins are critical targets for many drugs. However, due to their highly complex transmembrane structures, challenges such as structural instability, loss of activity, and improper membrane insertion during expression and purification have long limited their functionality, making membrane protein research and drug development a persistent bottleneck.
Abnova integrates two core technology platforms—VLP (Virus-Like Particle) and Nanodisc—to overcome the limitations of conventional preparation techniques, enabling stable expression while preserving the structural integrity and functional activity of membrane proteins:
VLP platform: Composed of virus-like shells, this platform can stably encapsulate membrane proteins and simulate the native membrane environment. It does not contain viral genomes and therefore ensures a high level of safety.
- Nanodisc platform: Provides a membrane environment similar to that of natural cell membranes, allowing membrane proteins to maintain correct structure and activity. Without the need for surfactants, membrane proteins can be stably dissolved in
aqueous solutions, facilitating downstream analysis and drug screening.
Through multiple validations of biological activity and structural integrity, Abnova has demonstrated that membrane proteins prepared by these two platforms exhibit high stability and reproducible functionality. This technology not only overcomes key challenges in membrane protein preparation but also establishes a scalable, reproducible, and industry-ready technical foundation for basic research, drug discovery, and clinical applications.

(5) RNAutomation™ mRNA Upgrades :
With the rapid emergence of mRNA vaccines and RNA therapeutics, the demand for RNA in vitro transcription (IVT) technologies continues to grow. However, conventional manual workflows are prone to RNA degradation, batch-to-batch variability, and operator-induced errors, which reduce reproducibility and significantly increase development costs and time pressure. To meet the need for high efficiency, stability, and reproducibility, automation techniques have become a key driver in advancing RNA research and application development.
Since 2019, Abnova has been dedicated to developing RNA IVT platforms. Building on its long accumulated capacity in RNA cancer vaccine development, Abnova has launched the world's first integrated RNA automated production platform—RNAutomation™ mRNA Upgrades System. With Opentrons Flex™ as its core, the system integrates pre-validated software, reagents, and consumables from Abnova, enabling automated execution of IVT, capping, oligo(dT) purification, and cellulose purification processes. It consistently produces mRNA with high uniformity and reproducibility, suitable for pharmacological evaluation, dose optimization, and preclinical research.
Regarding the hardware configuration of RNAutomation™ mRNA Upgrades System, in addition to the standard Opentrons Flex™ components—including thermal cyclers, temperature modules, heater-shaker modules, magnetic modules, and high-precision liquid-
handling modules—it also introduces Abnova's self-developed vacuum suction module. This module enables the purification process of cellulose to effectively remove double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) impurities commonly seen during mRNA production, thereby improving mRNA purity and quality.
Through default automated software procedures combined with pre-validated reagents and consumables, the system enables the automatic completion of IVT, capping, oligo(dT), and cellulose purification processes. Abnova also provides customized process software development and validation services to meet diverse customer requirements in process design and production scale.
For research institutions that have already deployed the Opentrons Flex™ system, a complete mRNA automated production workflow can be rapidly established by adopting Abnova's pre-validated software and self-developed vacuum suction module solely, thereby significantly lowering the barrier to system deployment.
The launch of the RNAutomation™ mRNA Upgrades System enables researchers to rapidly enter the field of RNA research and development.

Company name: Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation
Chairman: WILBER HUANG
Date: February 25, 2026
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, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025 and 2024, 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:
- 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(4) “Inventories”.
Description of key audit matter:
The major business of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation is the manufacturing and sales of antibody, protein, test reagents and testing instruments. Inventories are measured at the lower of 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 has 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.
~147~
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 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 Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation’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 check 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, 2025 and 2024, 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 concern 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.
~148~
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 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.

Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, unless specified otherwise)
- Company history
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation (the “Company”) was legally established with the approval of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (R.O.C.) on January 4, 2002, with registered address at 9th Fl., No. 108, Jhouzih St., Neihu District, Taipei City, Taiwan (R.O.C.). The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) has been actively developing, manufacturing, and selling monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody, proteins, medical inspection instruments and testing reagents, which are mainly antibody reagents, antibody chips or related products provided to and used by academic, research institutions or pharmaceutical factories, etc. Antibodies are the most important means for understanding proteins and their functions. The products of the Group help to study the relationship between protein changes in the process of cancer, infectious diseases, metabolism and endocrine diseases, and then apply to the development of medical inspection reagents and drugs.
- Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 25, 2026.
- New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted
(1) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) accounting standards endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.
The Group has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its financial statements, from January 1, 2025.
·Amendments to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability”
·Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments” regarding Application Guidance in Section 4.1 of IFRS 9 and regulations associated with disclosures of IFRS 7
(2) The impact of not yet adopting IFRS accounting standards endorsed by the FSC
The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2026, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
·IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”
·Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments” regarding Application Guidance in Section 3.1 and 3.3 of IFRS 9 and regulations associated with disclosures of IFRS 7
·Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards
·Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity”

(3) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
Standards and interpretations issued and amended by the IASB, but not yet endorsed by the FSC which may be relevant to the Group are as follows:
| New or amended standards | Major amendments | Effective date by IASB |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” | The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. The three amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users, and will affect all the entities. | January 1, 2027 |
| Note: The FSC issued a press release on September 25, 2025 to declare that Taiwan will align with IFRS 18 since the fiscal year of 2028. Entities that require to apply in advance may elect to apply in advance after FSC’s endorsement. | ||
| • A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard promotes a more structured income statement, introducing a newly defined “operating profit” subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’s main business activities. | ||
| • Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS accounting standards. | ||
| • Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. |
The Group continues to evaluate the impact of the aforementioned standards and interpretations on the financial position and financial performance; the relevant impact will be disclosed upon completion of the assessment.
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group assesses that the adoption of the following other new or amended standards, not yet endorsed by the FSC, would not have a significant impact on its financial statements.
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
- IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” and Amendments to IFRS 19
-
Amendments to IAS21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”

Summary of significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.
(1) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C.
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:
(a) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value; and
(b) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in Note 4(16).
B. Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(3) Basis of consolidation
A. Principles of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Except for Abnova GmbH, the German subsidiary which is not included in an entity of the Group’s consolidated financial report, the rest of the subsidiaries have been included. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from Intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||
| The Company | Abnova-GmbH | Distribution of biological products | 100.00% | 100.00% | Note |
Note : Since Abnova GmbH's capital equivalent to NT$1,210 thousand (0.2% of the Group's capital), its total assets were less than 1% of the Group's total assets, and it had no operating income, the consolidated financial report with this subsidiary had not been prepared. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the dissolution and liquidation proposal of Abnova GmbH on November 11, 2016, and the dissolution and liquidation was on December 31, 2016, as the base date. As of December 31, 2025, the liquidation hasn't been completed.
(4) Foreign currency
A. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(a) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;
(b) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or
(c) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
B. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the New Taiwan Dollars at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes only a part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes only a part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(5) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current:
A. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
B. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
C. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
D. The asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined in IAS7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current:
A. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
B. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
C. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
D. The Group does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
The periods of time deposits held by the Group are within one year from the date of acquisition, which are held for meeting short-term cash commitments, can be converted into a known amount of cash at any time, with only an insignificant risk of value changes. Therefore, time deposits are classified under cash and cash equivalents.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(7) Financial instruments
Accounts receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is an accounts receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. An accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
A. Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established (usually the ex-dividend date).
(c) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized costs, notes and accounts receivables, other receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets).
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
~159~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- Debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
- Other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for accounts receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses resulted from all the possible defaults occurring on the financial instrument during its expected life.
12-month expected credit losses are the expected credit losses resulted from all the possible defaults occurring on the financial instrument in the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of a financial statement is less than 12 months).
The maximum period to consider when measuring expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
ECLs are probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- A breach of contract such as a default or being more than some time past due;
- The lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
- It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
- The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate accounts, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(d) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of
~160~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
(a) Classification of liabilities and equity
The Group shall classify the debt and equity instruments issued by the Group as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definition of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
(b) Equity transactions
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized by the amounts equal to proceeds deducting direct issuing cost.
(c) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs.
(d) Other financial assets are measured at amortized costs by effective interest rate method subsequently. The interest expenses and exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gains or losses at derecognition are recognized in profit or loss as well.
(e) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group shall remove a financial liability from its statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. A substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability and significant difference in cash flows after the modification shall be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability by fair value based on the modified contractual terms.
At derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed), shall be recognized in profit or loss.
(8) Inventories
A. The perpetual inventory system is adopted by the Group, and the acquisition costs are recorded in the account. The costs are determined by the weighted average method, and the fixed production overheads are allocated according to the normal operating capacity of the production equipment. Inventories at the end of period except for obsolete and slow-moving inventories are provided for loss allowance. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When comparing the lower of cost and net realizable value, the item-by-item comparison method is adopted. The market price of raw materials is the replacement cost (that is, the latest purchase price); the market price of work in progress, semi-finished goods, finished goods and commodity inventories is the net realizable value.
B. The provision basis of allowances for slow-moving inventories is explained as follows:
(a) Stocks of protein are provided for 100% of allowances for slow-moving inventories after the stock age reaches two years (entering the third year); for those with stock age within two years (excluded) are provided for 2% ~ 50% of allowances for slow-moving inventories.
(b) Stocks of testing instruments with stock age within two years (excluded) are provided for 1% ~ 3% of allowances for slow-moving inventories; for those with stock age reaching two years (entering the third year) ~ five years (excluded) are provided for 10% ~ 70% of allowances for slow-moving inventories; for those with stock age reaching five years (entering the sixth year) are provided for 100% of allowances for slow-moving inventories.

Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(c) For stocks other than protein and testing instruments, those with stock age within four years (excluded) are provided for 0.1% ~ 20% of allowances for slow-moving inventories; for those with stock age reaching five years (entering the sixth year) ~ six years (excluded) are provided for 40% ~ 80% of allowances for slow-moving inventories; for those with stock age reaching six years (entering the seventh year) are provided for 100% of allowances for slow-moving inventories.
(9) Invest in associates
Associates are that in which the Group has significant influence over their financial and operating policies but is not controlling or jointly controlling.
The Group adopts the equity method to handle the interests of the associates. Under the equity method, the original acquisition is recognized at cost, and investment costs include transaction costs. The carrying amount of investments in an associate includes the goodwill identified at the time of the original investment, less any accumulated impairment loss.
The consolidated financial report includes from the date of significant influence to the date of loss of significant influence; after the adjustments made consistent with the accounting policy of the Group, the Group recognizes the profit and loss and the amount of other comprehensive income of each investment in associates based on the equity ratio. When the equity changes in non-profit or loss and other comprehensive income of an associate does not affect the shareholding ratio of the Group, the Group will recognize all changes in equity as capital reserves according to the shareholding ratio.
Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Group and associates are recognized in the corporate financial statements only within the scope of non-related party investors' interests in associates.
When the Group shall recognize the loss share of an associate proportionally equal to or exceeds its equity in the associate, it shall stop recognizing the losses, and only within the scope of a legal obligation, a constructive obligation, or a payment made on behalf of the invested company, additional losses and related liabilities shall be recognized.
(10) Property, plant and equipment
A. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
B. Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
C. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
(a) Buildings and structures 9 to 50 years
(b) Machinery and equipment 3 to 16 years
(c) Office equipment 3 to 8 years
(d) Leasehold improvements 3 to 10 years
(e) Other equipment 1 to 7 years
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(11) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
A. As a lessee
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
(a) fixed payments;
(b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
(c) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
(d) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
(a) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate;
(b) there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
(c) there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset;
(d) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option;
(e) there is any lease modification.
When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
The Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment property as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for office equipment with short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.
~163~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(12) Intangible assets
A. Recognition and measurement
Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets, including computer software, patent rights and customer relationships, are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
B. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred, including internally developed goodwill and brands.
C. Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets for current and comparative periods are as follows:
(a) Royalty 5 to 30 years
(b) Intangible assets internally generated 3 years
(c) Customer relationships 3 years
(d) Computer software 5 to 10 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(13) Impairment of non-derivative financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

(14) Revenue recognition
A. Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good to a customer. The description of main income items is as follows:
(a) Sales of goods
The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer upon the transaction terms, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
The Group offers volume discounts to customers. The Group recognizes revenue on the basis of the net amount of the contract price minus the estimated volume discount. The amount of the volume discount is estimated based on the expected value based on past cumulative experience, and revenue is recognized only in the range where there is a high probability that no significant reversal will occur.
(15) Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables, which are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax shall be recognized for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, except to the extent that:
A. the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination, and at the time of the transaction, (i) affects neither accounting profit (ii) nor taxable profit (tax loss) and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences, or
B. the temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or
C. the deferred tax liabilities arise from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates or tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The Group shall offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities, only if:
A. the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
B. the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
~165~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(a) The same taxable entity; or
(b) Different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
(16) Employee benefits
A. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.
B. Defined benefit plans
The Group’s net obligation in respect of each defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
C. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(17) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares.
(18) Segment information
The Group’s operating segments information is reported in a consistent manner with internal management reports provided to key operating decision makers. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the consolidated financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions to future (including climate-related risks and opportunities) that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions to be in consistent with the Group's risk management and climate-related commitments. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period on a prospective basis.
Accounting policies involve critical judgments and have no significant impact on the amount recognized in this consolidated financial statements.
Information about uncertainties of the following assumptions and estimates which have significant risks of causing critical adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next fiscal year is as follows:
(1) Valuation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for normal loss and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. In addition, the Group has also considered the industry characteristics and the liquidity of inventories to assess the loss allowance for slow-moving inventories. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the changes in industrial application technology, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories.

Note : The net amount deducted from receivables as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were listed in “other non-current liabilities.” Please refer to Note 7.
Since Abnova GmbH’s capital equivalent to NT$1,210 thousand (0.2% of the Group’s capital), its total assets were less than 1% of the Group’s total assets, and it had no operating income, the consolidated financial report with this subsidiary had not been prepared.
The Company sold the shares of the associate, Citil Pharma Incorporated, by NT$342 thousand to the subsidiary, AxleBio Ventures. As the transaction is the restructure under joint control, the unrealized gains on disposal of NT$68 thousand is recognized as the deduction of investments accounted for using equity method.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the investment adopting equity method were not pledged as collateral.

(b) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the conversion of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and accounts and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A strengthening (weakening) of 1% of the NTD against the USD, EUR and JPY as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased (decreased) the net profit after tax by NT$2,391 thousand and NT$2,894 thousand, respectively. The analysis for the two periods was on the same basis.
Since the Group transacts in different functional currencies, the information on foreign exchange gains (losses) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the foreign exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to NT$(21,314) thousand and NT$21,782 thousand, respectively.
D. Interest rate analysis
Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 1% when reporting to the management internally, which also represents the Group management’s assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.
If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 1% basis points, the Group’s net income would have increased or decreased by NT$1,190 and NT$1,617 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is
