Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of PANION & BF BIOTECH INC.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the 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 the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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"), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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.

  1. Revenue recognition

Please refer to notes 4(n) and 7(q) for the related disclosures on revenue recognition.

Description of key audit matter:

Revenue is one of the key performance indicators for evaluating the financial and operational performance of the Group. The risk for the revenue being recognized in an incorrect period or being recognized with incorrect amounts presents a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, revenue recognition was considered one of the key audit matters in our audit.

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

4-1

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Testing the effectiveness of the internal control over sales and receivable collection processes, including the evaluation of when to recognize the revenue from those significant contracts with customers; evaluating the sales to the top ten customers by considering the product type, the significant unusual changes in their receivables turnover ratio, and the changes, such as amount and ranking, in the current period to the last quarter, and to the same period in the prior year; selecting sales transactions throughout the year and within a period before and after the year-end, and vouching them with the related supporting documents to evaluate whether the revenue has been recognized in the correct accounting period and assess if the significant sales returns and allowances occur in the subsequent period.

2. Subsequent measurement of inventories

Please refer to notes 4(h), 5 and 6(c) for the related disclosures on subsequent measurement of inventories.

Description of key audit matter:

The inventories of the Group are mainly pharmaceutical drugs, health supplements, chemical products and test reagents. The products may be outdated or no longer meet the market demand due to the rapid development of new products. In addition, the price competition in the same industry, and the demand on related products and their prices which may fiercely fluctuate, may result in a risk wherein the cost of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. The subsequent measurement of inventories relies on the management’ s subjective judgment using internal and external evidences. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of inventories was considered one of the key audit matters in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Assessing the rationality of accounting policy for inventory subsequent measurement; obtaining the documents on inventory subsequent measurement to determine whether they are in compliance with the accounting policy; understanding the rationality of sales prices adopted by the management, selecting samples and verifying the accuracy of net realizable value of inventories by examining relevant documents, and determining the reasonableness of the inventory provision recognized by the management.

Other Matter

The Company has prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated 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 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 members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

4-2

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated 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 auditors' 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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 auditors' 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the 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.

4-3

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 for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Lily Lu and Min-Ju Chao.

(d) Foreign currencies

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group 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 spot rate at that date. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency 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 of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests.

(Continued)

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Cash or cash equivalents, excluding the asset that is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period, and assets held for trading purposes and expected to be converted to cash within twelve months after the reporting period are classified as current assets; all other assets are classified as non-current assets.

Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of trading and must be settled within twelve months after the reporting period are classified as current liabilities; all other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities.

  • (f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and 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.

The Group’s time deposits are held for short-term commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. These time deposits are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. As such, the time deposits are recorded under cash and cash equivalents.

  • (g) Financial instruments

  • (i) Financial assets

The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: financial assets measured at amortized cost and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (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.

  • 1) 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

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

14

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 2) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes that are measured at fair value, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss

3) 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, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, and refundable deposits, etc.) and contract assets.

Loss allowance for notes and accounts receivable are measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. Other financial assets measured at amortized cost are considered reasonable and supportable information that are relevant and available, without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information, as well as analysis, based on the Group's historical experience, informed credit assessment, and forward-looking information. Loss allowance for other financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured by using the 12-month ECL, in which the credit risk did not increase significantly since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. The Group recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss.

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; the Group usually determines the financial assets with no reasonable expectations of recovery when the debtors’ assets or income sources cannot generate sufficient cash flows to repay the financial assets. 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.

4) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

(Continued)

15

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments.

2) Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(h) Inventories

The cost of inventories consists of all costs of purchase, costs of conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. When the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, inventories are written down to net realizable value, and the write-down amount is charged to current year's cost of goods sold. If net realizable value increases in the future, the cost of inventories is reversed within the original write-down amount, and such reversal is treated as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

(Continued)

16

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(i) Investments accounted for using equity method

Investments accounted for using the equity method include investments in associates and joint ventures. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over their financial and operating policies. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group has joint control of the arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control, and the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investments includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’ s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates and joint ventures, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Group recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate or a joint venture’ s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual proportionate share.

Unrealized gains resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate or a joint venture are eliminated only to the extent of unrelated Group’s interests in the associate or the joint venture. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only if there is no evidence of impairment losses.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in an associate or a joint venture, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or the joint venture.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the associates or the joint ventures had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss when the equity method is discontinued. If the Group’s ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Group reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss.

(Continued)

17

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

When the Group subscribes to additional shares in an associate or a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate or the joint venture. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under capital surplus. If the capital surplus resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of the associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(j) Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. Interest expenses that are directly attributable to bringing the asset to the condition necessary for its intended use are capitalized as costs of the assets.

Subsequent expenditures should be recognized as part of the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the amount can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part should be derecognized. Routine maintenance expenditures for items of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and the depreciation method of a significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment are the same as those of another significant part of that same item.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as other gains and losses.

Except that land is not depreciated, 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. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

follows:
Buildings 6~50 years
Machinery equipment 1~21 years
Other equipment 1~20 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate when the expectations differ from the previous estimates.

(k) Lease

  • (i) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease

  • (ii) As a leasee

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 using the 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 incremental borrowing rate. Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term and in future lease payments the lease liability is remeasured. The Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment 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.

The Group has elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its shortterm leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.

As a practical expedient, the Group elects not to assess whether all rent concessions that meet all the following conditions are lease modifications or not:

  • 1) the rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • 2) the change in lease payments that resulted in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • 3) any reduction in lease payments that affects only those payments originally due on, or before, June 30, 2022; and

In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs

(l) Intangible assets

Patent is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses. Amortization begins when the asset is available for use, with the estimated useful lives 5 to 15 years on a straight-line basis, and is recognized in profit or loss.

Residual values, useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed at each annual reporting date. Any changes will be treated as changes in the accounting estimates.

Goodwill is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses. The Group conducts an impairment test at the end of each annual reporting period. An impairment loss is recognized by the amount which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Reversal of an impairment loss in the subsequent periods for goodwill is prohibited.

- (m) Impairment non-financial assets

With regard to non-financial assets (other than inventories, deferred tax assets and employee benefits), the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss has occurred and estimates the recoverable amount for assets with an indication of impairment. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit.

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of that asset. Impairment loss is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount, increasing the individual asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount to its estimated recoverable amount. The reversal of an impairment loss of an individual asset or cash-generating unit cannot exceed the carrying amount of the individual asset or cash-generating unit, less any depreciation or amortization, had it not recognized an impairment loss.

(n) 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 or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

(Continued)

20

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(i) Sale of goods

The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, 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.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

(ii) Patent licensing

The Group grants its patent licenses to customers, and receives royalty fees based on the contract terms. The Group recognizes revenue when the performance obligation has been satisfied, the control of the licenses has been transferred, and the customer can direct the use of the licenses and obtains the benefits. A sales-based royalty fee is recognized only when the later of the subsequent sale occurs, and the performance obligation to which the royalty fees has been allocated has been satisfied.

(iii) Financing components

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(o) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date (market yields of high-quality corporate bonds or government bonds) on bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

(Continued)

21

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to 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. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

When the benefits of a plan are improved, expenses resulting from the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses; (2) the return on plan assets excluding the amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (assets); and (3) any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding the amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (assets); the Group recognizes the remeasurements of the defined benefit liability (asset) in other comprehensive.

The Group recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and any related actuarial gains or losses and past service cost that had not previously been recognized.

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans 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.

(p) Share-based payments

The grate-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payments awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards whose related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

(Continued)

22

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(q) Government Grants

The Group recognizes government grants related to assets as deferred income at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that they will be received, and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant; they are then recognized in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses or losses incurred are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses or losses are recognized.

(r) 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 shall be 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.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the exceptions below:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) during the transaction.

  • (ii) Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.

  • (iii) Initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and liabilities only if the following criteria are both met:

  • (i) The Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) levied by the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) 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.

(Continued)

23

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

The Company and a domestic subsidiary file income tax returns under the linked tax system and elect to file income tax returns under the linked tax system with the Company as the taxpayer, and to file additional income tax returns on undistributed earnings with the subsidiary that have been held for 12 months or more in a taxable year in accordance with the Income Tax Act. The Company proportionately allocates the effect on current income tax expense (gain), deferred income tax and income tax payable (refund receivable) resulting from the adoption of the linked tax system between the Company and the subsidiary, and such that have been eliminated when preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(s) Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an acquisition is measured as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred (which is generally measured at fair value) and (ii) the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, both over the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Company recognized that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.

All acquisition-related transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

(t) Earnings per share

The Group discloses its basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to common stockholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to common stockholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares.

(u) Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group), and consists of standalone financial information. Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions 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.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed by the management on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

There are no critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements

Subsequent measurement of inventories is the main accounting assumption and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next year.

Subsequently, inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Group assesses the net realizable value of inventories for normal waste, short shelf life, and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. There may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories due to future market prices and, future demand and supply.

2021
%
1.500
%

The expected contribution to be made by the Company to the defined benefit plans for the one-year period after the 2022 reporting date is $700 thousand.

The weighted average lifetime of the defined benefits plans is9.98 years.

6) Sensitivity analysis

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the effect of changes in the principle actuarial assumptions on the present value of the defined benefit obligations were as follows:

At December 31, 2022
Discount rate
Future salary increases
At December 31, 2021

(758)
(941)

(905)

The above sensitivity analysis is based on the effect of changes in a single assumption under the condition that other assumptions remain constant. In practice, many changes in assumptions may be linked together. The method used for the sensitivity analysis and calculation of the net defined benefit pension asset is the same.

The method used for sensitivity analysis for this year is the same as the method used in the previous year.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

The Group allocates 6% of each employee's monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. Under this defined contribution plan, the Company allocates a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligation.

The Group's pension costs under the defined contribution method were $14,784 thousand and $13,990 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(ii) Deferred tax assets and liabilities

1) Unrecognized deferred tax assets

The Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and considers it probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Hence, such temporary differences are not recognized under deferred tax liabilities. Details are as follows:

The Group is not able to assure that the temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, will be reversed in the foreseeable future, or to consider it is probable that taxable profit will be sufficient to allow the temporary differences to be deducted. A deferred tax asset for these temporary differences is therefore not recognized. Details are as follows:

Tax laws allow net losses, as assessed by the tax authorities, to offset taxable income over a period of ten years for local tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilize the benefits therefrom.

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company's Articles of Incorporation revised on June 9, 2020 provided that the Company may distribute legal reserve and capital surplus in compliance with laws and regulations. For distribution by way of new shares issuance, a resolution shall be passed during the general meeting of shareholders; for distribution by way of cash, a resolution shall be passed by the Board of Directors with at least two thirds of the directors present and a majority of the directors agree, and shall be reported to the general meeting of shareholders.

Details of cash dividends from capital surplus, please refer to note 6(n) (iii) retained earnings.

(iii) Retained earnings

The Company's Articles of Incorporation provided that, when allocating the net profits for each fiscal year, the Company should first pay income tax, offset its prior years' deficits, and appropriate 10% of net income to legal reserve until the accumulated legal reserve capital equals the Company’ s paid-in capital. The Company may also appropriate special reserve capital based on business needs and in compliance with laws and regulations. After the above appropriations, current and prior-period earnings that remain undistributed will be proposed for distribution by the Board of Directors. For distribution by way of new shares issuance, a resolution shall be passed during the general meeting of shareholders; for distribution by way of cash, a resolution shall be passed by the Board of Directors with at least two thirds of the directors present and a majority of the directors agree, and shall be reported to the general meeting of shareholders.

The Company’ s dividend policy adopts the principle of prudence with consideration of its profitability and financial structure and future development. The Company stipulated a dividend policy that distributes at least 40% of accumulated earnings as shareholders’ dividends and at least 10% of distribution shall be by way of cash. However, the Board of Directors may adjust the percentage of distribution based on the actual operating performances upon the approval from the general meeting of the shareholders.

1) Legal reserve

If the Company experienced profit for the year, the distribution of the statutory earnings reserve, either by new shares or by cash, shall be decided at the shareholders' meeting, and the distribution amount is limited to the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25 percent of the paid in capital.

2) Special reserve

In accordance with the rules issued by the FSC, a portion of current period earnings and undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as special reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current period reduction of other shareholders' equity. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other shareholders' equity pertaining to prior periods. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders' equity shall qualify for additional distributions.

(r) Remuneration to employees and directors

The Company's articles of incorporation provided that, the Company should contribute no less than 2% of profit as employee remuneration and less than 5% as directors' remuneration when there is profit for the year. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.

The remuneration to employees can be in the form of stock or cash, wherein the recipients may include the employees of the Company’s affiliated who meet certain specific conditions set forth by the Board of Directors. The remuneration to directors can only be in the form of cash.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company accrued its remuneration to employees amounting to $14,587 thousand and $3,847 thousand, respectively, and remuneration to directors amounting to $18,233 and $5,770, respectively. These amounts are calculated by using the Company's pre-tax net profit for the period before deducting the amount of the remuneration to the employees and directors, multiplied by the distribution ratio of remuneration to the employees and directors under the Company's articles of association. The remunerations were expensed under operating expenses during each period. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website. The amounts, as stated in these parent company only financial statements, are identical to those of the actual distributions for 2022 and 2021.

  • 2) Sensitivity Analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, accounts receivable and accounts payable that are denominated in foreign currency.

A strengthening (weakening) of 1%of the NTD against the USD, JPY, and CNY as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased (decreased) the net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 by $1,826 thousand and $663 thousand, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Foreign Exchange gain and loss on monetary items

Due to the numerous types of functional currency of the Group, the Group disclose its exchange gains and losses of monetary items aggregately. The Group’s exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, were $(320) thousand and $(3,066) thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk were as follows:

Instruments with variable interest rates
Bank deposits
Long and short-term loans
Carrying Amount Carrying Amount
December 31,
2022
$
463,790
$
417,900
December 31,
2021
278,374
417,594

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure of the interest rate on derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is on the basis of 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 management internally, which also represents the management of the Group’s assessment on the reasonably possible interval of interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 1% with all other variable factors remaining constant, the Group’s net income before tax will have increased or decreased by $459 thousand and $1,392 thousand, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(v) Fair value information

  • 1) Categories and fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount and fair value of the financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy were as follows; however, except as described in the following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, disclosure of fair value information is not required:

  • 2) Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value determination -Non-derivative financial instruments

If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, the market price is established as the fair value. Quoted prices from an exchange and actively traded government bonds traded over the counter are used as the basis for the fair value measurement of listed equity instruments and debt instruments with quoted prices in active markets.

A financial instrument is regarded as being quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’ s length basis. If the above-mentioned conditions are not met, the market would be considered as inactive. Generally, wide bid ask spreads, increases in bid ask spreads or low transaction volumes are indicators of an inactive market.

For equity instruments that there is no quoted price available, the Group uses the discounted cash flow model to estimate their fair values. The estimation is based on the investee’ s expected future cash flows, discounted to their present value using the discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the riskiness of the investment.

  • 3) Fair value hierarchy

The Group used the fair value that can be observed in the market to measure the value of assets and liabilities. Fair values levels are based on the degree in which the fair value can be observed and grouped into Levels 1 to 3 as follows:

  • a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

  • b) Level 2: inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

  • c) Level 3: inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  • 4) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

In accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the reliability and restrictions of information used in measuring fair value should be regularly evaluated. The Group can no longer obtain the quoted price of Spectra SPC Powerfund, and the current volume and level of activity of the fund exists significant uncertainty. The Group, therefore, reclassified its level of fair value hierarchy from Level 1 to Level 3, and recorded the losses under loss on financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.

  • (vi) Fair value measurements in Level 3 – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The Group’ s measurement for fair values for financial instruments is reasonable. However, a different valuation technique or possible changes to one or more assumptions would have different effects. For fair value measurement in Level 3, changing in assumptions would have the following effects:

(u) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

This note discloses information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risks, and the Group's management of capital. Please see other related notes for quantitative information.

(ii) Risk management framework

The Board of Directors of the Group is full responsible for the establishment and management of the Company's risk management framework and policies.

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group's Board of Directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit which undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Board of Directors.

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers.

1) Receivables

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group's customer base, including the default risk of the customer segmentation to which customers belong, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.

(Continued)

55

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, when available, and, in some cases, bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum open amount without requiring approval; these limits are reviewed on a periodic basis.

The Group discloses the estimation of notes and accounts receivable’ s loss with allowance for bad debt account. Allowance for bad debt account is composed with specific losses and batch of unrecognized losses components. Unrecognized losses components are determined by historically statistical data from similar financial assets.

2) Investments

The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fixed income investment and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Group's finance department and reported to the management by authority. Since those who transact with the Group are banks with good credit standing, there are no noncompliance issues. Hence, there is no significant credit risk.

3) Guarantees

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group has no outstanding guarantees.

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’ s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The Group uses activity-based costing to estimate the cost of its products and services, which assists it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimizing its cash return on investments. The Group aims to maintain the level of its cash and cash equivalents at an amount in excess of the expected cash flows on operating expenses and financial liabilities. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. The Group has unused short-term bank facilities of $1,132,100 thousand and $515,620 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021

(v) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in interest rate, foreign exchange rates or the price of financial products will affect the Group’ s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

The Group’s bank deposits are exposed to the cash flow risk arising from changes in interest rates. However, the impact of the cash flow risk arising from changes in interest rate is not expected to be significant.

(Continued)

56

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(v) Capital management

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity of the Group. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to common stockholders.

(9) Commitments and contingencies:

  • (a) In July 2001, the Company signed a patent license agreement with Chen Hsing Hsu to obtain the right to put the patent on Nephoxil, a new drug for kidney disease, into practice, and further amended the agreement in August 2005. The terms and conditions in the agreement stipulated that the Company shall pay Chen Hsing Hsu royalty fees based on the net sales of the licensed products. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded its royalty payments due to Chen Hsing Hsu arising from the patent license agreement under operating costs.

The patents on Nephoxil in the United States, Taiwan and Japan have all expired as of November 14, 2022. The Company has terminated the above patent license agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in the agreement. The termination was effective upon the aforementioned patent expiration date.

  • (b) The Company and Shandong Weigao Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“ Shandong Weigao” ) entered into a joint venture agreement on February 24, 2015 to establish a Company Weigao Panion Biotech Holding Company (“ Weigao Panion” ), with the companies holding of 49% and 51%, respectively. The Company then invested in Shandong Weigao Panion Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Shandong Weigao Panion”) through Weigao Panion. The Company granted licenses to Shandong Weigao Panion through Weigao Panion with its patent rights to develop, manufacture and exclusively sell Nephoxil in mainland China, and the license fees for the rights granted were amounted to CNY 150,000 thousand, including the down payment of CNY 30,000 thousand and the milestone payment of CNY 120,000 thousand. The Company recognized the down payment and the milestone payment of each phase based on the development progress of Nephoxil, and reinvested part of the milestone payment in Weigao Panion, and Shandong Weigao would also invest according to the original shareholdings.

PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • (b) The Company is the patentee and the licensor of the patents related to Auryxia (ferric citrate) in the United States, and the above-mentioned patents have been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and published in the Orange Book (“ Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalences”). Since the fourth quarter of 2018, seven generic drug companies, listed here in the order received: Lupin Atlantis Holdings SA, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., Chemo Research SL, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., Lupin Limited, Watson Laboratories Inc. and Par Pharmaceuticals Inc. had filed the drug registration to sell their products, i.e., Auryxia’ s generic drugs with the FDA, claiming that their products were not infringing all, or part of, the Company’s Orange Book listed patents or claiming that the Company’s Orange Book listed patents to be wholly or partly ineffective or invalid. The Company, its licensee, Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Inc. (hereinafter Keryx, currently the subsidiary of Akebia Therapeutics Inc.), and Professor Chen Hsing Hsu, had filed the related patents’ infringement litigations as co-plaintiff against the above seven companies to assert their interests, claiming that the generic drug registration of the above seven companies shall not be approved during the patent terms or before the patents expire.

In August 2019, the Company and Keryx had settled the aforementioned patent infringement litigations and entered into the settlement and the license agreement with Par Pharmaceuticals Inc.(“Par”) to solve the lawsuit caused by the Auryxia’s generic drug registration, and the Company and Keryx granted a license to Par to market its generic drug of Auryxia in the United States from March 20, 2025 or any earlier point of time provided that the customary conditions in the similar type of the settlements are satisfied. In addition, the settlement and the license agreement are confidential and shall be under the review of the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice. Thereafter, the Company and Keryx had settled with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. and Watson Laboratories Inc. in April 2020, with Lupin Atlantis Holdings SA and Lupin Limited in September 2020, with Chemo Research SL in March 2021, and with Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. in September 2021. In summary, the Company had settled with all the above seven generic drug companies, and the terms and the conditions of each agreement are substantially identical.

In February 2023, Zydus Worldwide DMCC as the eighth generic drug company has submitted Abbreviated New Drug Application to the United States Food and Drug Administration seeking approval to commercially market generic versions of Auryxia. Zydus claims that no valid and enforceable claims of parts of the Company’ s and Keryx’ s Orange Book listed patents will be infringed by its product. The Company, as co-plaintiff, with its licensee Keryx has filed a complaint for patent infringement against Zydus Worldwide DMCC, Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc., and Zydus Lifesciences Limited, requesting the effective date of FDA approval of ANDA be the date which is not earlier than the later of the expiration of the patents-in-suit.

(b) Information about reportable segments and their measurement and reconciliations

The Group uses the internal management report that the chief operating decision maker reviews as the basis to determine resource allocation and make a performance evaluation. The internal management report includes profit before taxation, but not including any extraordinary activity because taxation and extraordinary activity are managed on a group basis, and hence they are not able to be allocated to each reportable segment. In addition, not all reportable segments include depreciation and amortization of significant non-cash items. The reportable amount is similar to that in the report used by the chief operating decision maker.

The operating segment accounting policies are similar to those described in note 4 “ significant accounting policies.”

The Group’s operating segment information and reconciliation are as follows:
