INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Polaris Group
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Polaris Group and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagement of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with 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 matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Key audit matter - impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
The Group is primarily engaged in the research and development of new drugs. The property, plant and equipment currently purchased are mainly used for the purposes of research and development or future production and their utilisation is closely related to the results of the Company’s research and development of new drug. The property, plant and equipment amounted to NT$3,464,897 thousand, constituting 43% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2025. Refer to Notes 4(12) and 4(16) for the accounting policies on the acquisition and subsequent measurement of the property, plant and equipment, Note 5(2) A. for the accounting estimation uncertainty of property, plant and equipment and Notes 6(8) and 6(12) for the details and related impairment amount of property, plant and equipment. The management of the Group assesses the recoverable amounts of the property, plant and equipment where there is an indication that they are impaired as the basis of impairment assessment under IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’. Given that the calculation of recoverable amount is considered to be a critical accounting estimate, involves the management’s subjective judgement and contains uncertainty, we
~5~
consider the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 based on the overall assessment.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter according to the entities:
Property, plant and equipment of the subsidiaries - DesigneRx Pharmaceuticals (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. and North Star Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.
- Obtained an understanding on and assessed the related policies and procedures of the Group's impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and obtained an understanding on the Group's procedures of assessing whether there is any indication that each cash-generating unit may be impaired and assessed the reasonableness of the procedures.
- Obtained an assets appraisal report issued by an external expert appointed by the Group for the cash-generating units with indications of impairment.
- Conducted the following audit procedures of impairment test in accordance with the assets appraisal report issued by an external expert appointed by the Group:
(1) Obtained an understanding on and assessed the independence, objectivity and competence of the external expert.
(2) Obtained an understanding on and assessed the reasonableness of the valuation method adopted in the appraisal report.
(3) Obtained an understanding on and assessed the reasonableness of the main valuation key assumptions adopted in the appraisal report and recalculated to ascertain the accuracy of the calculation of the impairment amount.
~6~
Property, plant and equipment of the subsidiaries - Genovior Biotech Corporation and DesigneRx Pharmaceuticals Inc.
-
Obtained an understanding on and assessed the related policies and procedures of the Group’s impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and obtained an understanding on the Group’s procedures of assessing whether there is any indication that each cash-generating unit may be impaired and assessed the reasonableness of the procedures.
-
Obtained an impairment test conducted by the Group based on the financial forecast for the next seven years for the cash-generating units with indications of impairment.
-
In accordance with the Group’s audit procedures of impairment test:
(1) Obtained an understanding on and assessed the reasonableness of the Group’s impairment test method.
(2) Obtained an understanding on and assessed the expected growth rate used and compared it with the management’s operating plans and forecast trend literature in the industry.
(3) Obtained an understanding on and assessed the reasonableness of the discount rate used in the impairment test, recalculated to ascertain the accuracy of the calculation and verified the reasonableness of the assumptions on capital cost of cash-generating units.
(4) Assessed the future cash flow sensitivity analysis prepared by management based on the alternative assumption for different discount rates and growth rates, and conforming whether management has adequately managed the possible impact on the estimation uncertainty of impairment assessment.
~7~
Key audit matter – impairment assessment of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license arising from business combination of Lin Yang
Description
Refer to Note 4(16) Impairment of non-financial assets for the accounting policy on goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license impairment, Note 5(2) B. for the uncertainty of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license impairment and Note 6(11) for the details of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license impairment.
As of December 31, 2025, the goodwill recognised by the Group from the acquisition of equity interests in Lin Yang was all provisioned as impairment losses with a total impairment loss of NT$541,300 thousand. The project under research and development and drug permit license amounted to NT$761,049 thousand, and the total impairment loss of NT$458,459 thousand was recognised.
After identifying the smallest cash-generating unit which can generate independent cash flows, the Group measures the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit by using each cash-generating unit’s estimated future cash flows and proper discount rate, which was used as the basis of impairment assessment of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license. As the amount of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license arising from business combination is significant and the process of calculating the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit involves numerous assumptions, including expected growth rates, discount rates and the future financial forecast, and the assumptions involve the management’s subjective judgement and contain uncertainty, which have a significant impact on the measurement result of recoverable amount, and further affect the estimates of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license impairment, we consider the impairment assessment of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license as a key audit matter of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 based on the overall assessment.

~9~
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
- Verified the accuracy of management’s valuation model calculation.
- Conducted the following audit procedures for the reasonableness of significant assumptions adopting in the management’s valuation models:
(1) Compared the expected growth rate used with the management’s operating plans and forecast literature reports in the industry.
(2) Verified the reasonableness of the assumptions on capital cost of cash-generating units of the discount rate used.
(3) Assessed the future cash flow sensitivity analysis prepared by management based on the alternative assumption for different discount rates and growth rates, and conforming whether management has adequately managed the possible impact on the estimation uncertainty of impairment assessment.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 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 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 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- 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.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
~10~
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient 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
~11~
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.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and independent auditors' report are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.
As the financial statements are the responsibility of the management, PricewaterhouseCoopers cannot accept any liability for the use of, or reliance on, the English translation or for any errors or misunderstandings that may derive from the translation.

4. Summary of Material Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers", International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC® Interpretations, and SIC® Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the "IFRSs").
(2) Basis of preparation
A. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, 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. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
B. Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements:

Note1: On January 20, 2025, DesigneRx Pharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Inc. applied for deregistration in accordance with the law. The company has been deregistered in accordance with the law and no longer exists.
Note 2: Genovior Biotech Corporation increased capital amounting to $200,000 and increased capital through the debt for equity swaps amounting to$ 328,712 in the first and the fourth quarter of 2025, respectively, which was 100% subscribed by the Company. Therefore, the Company's shareholding ratio was increased and Lin Yang Biopharm, Ltd.'s shareholding ratio was decreased.
Note 3: The Company established the subsidiary, North Star Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., in Fujian, China through investment in the subsidiary, TDW HK Limited. The date of registration for the establishment was on November 21, 2024.
Note 4: Nanotein Technologies, Inc. increased capital in the third quarter of 2025. However, the Company did not continue to participate in the capital increase, resulting in a decrease in the Company's shareholding ratio to $43.78\%$ . Consequently, the Company lost its control over the company, but still has significant influence over it. Therefore, starting from July 9, 2025, it was changed to be recognised under investments accounted for using equity method and was not included in the consolidated financial statements. A gain on disposal of investments amounting to $\$51,205$ was recognised, and the gain was recognised under other gains and losses in the statement of comprehensive income.
C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
E. Significant restrictions: Cash of the Company's subsidiaries, DesigneRx Pharmaceuticals (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. and North Star Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., amounted to $203,980 and$ 131,812,
respectively, deposited in mainland China are under local foreign exchange control which restricts the capital to be remitted outside the borders.
F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.
(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Group’s functional currency is United States dollars; however, the consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars under the regulations of the country where the consolidated financial statements are reported to the regulatory authorities.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
B. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
(c) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
~23~
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle (12 months);
(b) Assets that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period;
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle (12 months);
(b) Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Liabilities that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
(d) It does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at amortised cost
The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(8) Trade receivable
A. Trade and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
B. The short-term trade and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(9) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group
~24~
recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(10) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(11) Investments accounted for using equity method - associates
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
B. The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
C. When changes in an associate's equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group's ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises change in ownership interests in the associate in 'capital surplus' in proportion to its ownership.
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
E. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
F. At the balance sheet date, the Group performs an impairment test for an investment in an associate when there is an indication that the investment may be impaired. The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset, by
~25~
comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
(12) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. 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 must be depreciated separately.
D. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Buildings | 20 ~ 50 years |
|---|---|
| Testing equipment | 5 ~ 11 years |
| Production equipment | 5 ~ 10 years |
| Computer equipment | 3 ~ 7 years |
| Office equipment | 3 ~ 7 years |
| Leasehold improvements | The shorter of useful lives and lease terms |
(13) Leasing arrangements (lessee)—right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
~26~
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of the following:
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; and
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;
(c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(d) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and remeasure the lease liability to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise the difference in profit or loss. For all other lease modifications, the lessee shall remeasure the lease liability and adjust the right-of-use asset, correspondingly.
(14) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
(15) Intangible assets
A. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
B. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
~27~
C. Core technology – Nanotein medium
Nanotein medium is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 20 years.
D. Project under research and development and drug permit license
Project under research and development and drug permit license are stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 14 years.
(16) Impairment of non-financial assets
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not yet been available for use are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(17) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(18) Notes and accounts payable
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
B. The Group initially measures notes and accounts payable at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term notes payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the
~28~
effect of discounting is immaterial.
(19) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
(20) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
C. Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration
Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the close price before the Board resolution day.
(21) Employee share-based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
~29~
(22) Income tax
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
~30~
(23) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(24) Revenue recognition
A. Sale of services
(a) The Group provides biopharmaceutical manufacturing services to the customers. Operating revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual cost of services provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total cost of services to be provided. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
(b) The Group provides services of research and development testing. Revenue is recognised when the commissioned service is completed by the Group and the acceptance of the results of the services provided is confirmed by the customers.
B. Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when the customer obtains control over the goods, which is the point at which the performance obligation is satisfied.
(25) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognised as non-current liabilities and are amortised to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.
(26) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group's chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
- Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
~31~
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
The going concern basis of accounting
The Group’s management assesses the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and uses this assessment to determine whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. When conducting relevant assessments, management shall make significant judgement and assumptions regarding the matters that may affect the Group’s operations and financial condition in the future, including expected future operating cash flows, profitability, changes in the operating environment, the availability of financing arrangements and other related factors.
When assessing the going concern assumption, management takes into comprehensive consideration the Group’s current financial condition, available sources of capital, the feasibility of operating plan, and other relevant supporting information. Any variations in economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause material impacts to the aforementioned judgements and assumptions, thereby affecting the assessment results of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of the end of the reporting period, management has adopted relevant information in the foreseeable period that it considers appropriate for conducting the aforementioned assessment, and has determined that the use of the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
A. Impairment assessment of tangible assets
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future. Please refer to Notes 6(8) and 6(12) for the information of the impairment assessment of tangible assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Group recognised equipment, net of impairment loss, amounting to $3,464,897.
B. Impairment assessment of intangible asset
The impairment assessment of goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license relies on the Group’s subjective judgement, including identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units. As of December 31, 2025, the Group recognised impairment loss of $541,300 and $458,459 for goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license, respectively. The carrying amount of project under research and development and drug permit license was $761,049. Goodwill was all provisioned as impairment losses, which shall not be reversed in the following years. Please refer to Note 6(11) for the information of goodwill and project under
~32~
research and development and drug permit license impairment.

A. Associates
(a) The basic information of the associates that are material to the Group is as follows:
| Company name | Principal place of business | Shareholding ratio | Shareholding ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
| Nanotein Technologies, Inc. | US | 43.78% | 54.89% |
(b) The summarised financial information of the associates that are material to the Group is as follows:
Balance sheet
| December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Current assets | $ 47,637 |
| Non-current assets | 35,501 |
| Current liabilities | ( 215) |
| Total net assets | $ 82,923 |
| Share in associate's net assets | $ 36,304 |
Statement of comprehensive income
| Year ended December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Revenue | $ 2,811 |
| Loss for the period from continuing operations/ Total comprehensive loss | ($ 67,229) |
(c) Nanotein increased capital on July 9, 2025. The Group resolved not to participate in the capital increase, resulting in a decrease in its shareholding ratio from 54.89% to 43.78%. The Group is the single largest shareholder of the company. However, after considering all potential voting power factors, including share options and restricted stocks, the Group's actual shareholding ratio was adjusted to approximately 36.06%. At the same time, Nanotein's other major shareholders, including the founder and Sartorius Stedim North America Inc., collectively hold approximately 45.68% of the potential voting power. They jointly established a Joint Steering Committee, which is responsible for Nanotein's significant operating decisions. Furthermore, the founder and Sartorius Stedim North America Inc. have three directors out of four in its Board, while the Group only holds one seat. In summary, the Group has no substantial ability to direct the relevant activities of Nanotein, the Group has no control, but only has significant influence over Nanotein. As a result, starting from July 9, 2025, it was classified to investments accounted for using equity method, and gain or loss on disposal was recognised. Details are provided in Note 6(24).

A. Goodwill is allocated as follows to the Group's cash-generating units:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Nanotein | $ - | $ 166,256 |
| Lin Yang | - | 555,329 |
| Net Exchange Difference | - | 33,832 |
| $ - | $ 755,417 |
Acquisition prices in the business combination are calculated by the price of acquisition plus related direct costs. Goodwill is recognised at the difference of the acquisition prices less net fair value of identifiable assets acquired. The allocation duration of acquisition price may not exceed one year after the acquisition. The allocation of the acquisition price of Lin Yang had been completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. In accordance with the regulations of IFRS 3 Business combinations, the tentative amount recognised on the acquisition date was adjusted retrospectively during the measurement period. The Group lost its control over Nanotein starting from July 9, 2025, and only has significant influence over it. Details of disposal of related intangible assets of Nanotein are provided in Note 6(7).
B. The Group's goodwill arising from business combination is mainly expected benefits from the growth of the acquired companies. Acquisition prices in the business combination are calculated by the price of acquisition plus related direct costs. Goodwill is recognised at the difference of the acquisition prices less net fair value of identifiable assets acquired. In accordance with IAS 36, goodwill acquired from business combination shall be tested for impairment periodically. The impairment testing of goodwill is to allocate the goodwill to the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use future pre-tax cash flow projections assessed by the management.
Nanotein and Lin Yang may be cash-generating units which can generate independent cash flows and the impairment of goodwill is calculated based on value in use and carrying amount of net assets of Nanotein and Lin Yang.
For Nanotein, the Group calculates the value in use according to the allocation report of the acquisition price issued by the expert and Nanotein's operational condition after acquisition, as Nanotein's products are in the early stages of launch, the management adopts future cash flow projections based on their expectations of market development and the main assumptions used in forecasting cash flow are pre-tax discount rate of $23.90\%$ , the launching promotion schedule of its product, Nanotein medium, and the expected operating revenue from the product.
For Lin Yang, the Group calculates the value in use according to the allocation report of the acquisition price issued by the expert and Lin Yang's operational condition after acquisition,
the management adopts future cash flow projections based on their expectations of market development and the main assumptions used in forecasting cash flow are pre-tax discount rate of 15.09% and the growth trend of operating of operating revenue from services and products launched in the future. As of the fourth quarter of 2025, the Group recognised impairment loss of $541,300 and $458,459 for goodwill and project under research and development and drug permit license, respectively. This was mainly due to the progress of the newly established factory of the subsidiary, Lin Yang, was not as planned, which delayed the timeline for launch of related products and operating revenue contribution. At the same time, the number of volunteers enrolled in ADI-PEG20 and the progress of factory inspection were also delayed, affecting the timeline for obtaining the drug permit license. As the overall timeline is delayed, future operating revenue will be affected by competing suppliers accelerated entering the market after the patent expires. The prices of GLP-1 related products are expected to face downward pressure, which will affect the overall recoverable amount. Therefore, the Company conducted an impairment test and recognised impairment loss for the asset in accordance with IAS 36.
C. Details of amortisation on intangible assets are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Research and development expenses | $ 103,408 | $ 108,576 |

C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the RMB and NTD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
ii. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.
iii. The Group's businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company's and certain subsidiaries' functional currency: USD; other certain subsidiaries' functional currency: NTD and RMB). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows (unit: in thousands):

v. The total exchange gains (losses), including realised and unrealised, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $6,340 and ($2,331), respectively.
Cash flow and fair value Interest rate risk
i. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from bank deposits and long-term and short-term borrowings. The borrowings with variable rates are short-term borrowings, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The risk of variations in the interest rates is performed and monitored by the Group treasury. As of December 31, 2025, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in NTD and RMB.
ii. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, if the borrowings interest rates of NTD and RMB had increased/decreased by 3%, with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax, would have increased/decreased by $63,783 and $49,376, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.
(b) Credit risk
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the trade receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortised cost.
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal
risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only rated parties with an optimal credit rating are accepted.
iii. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days. The Group’s trade receivable was generated from the customers with an optimal credit. The carrying amount of trade receivable on December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $2,553 and $2,704, respectively. The expected credit impairment is insignificant based on the assessment.
(c) Liquidity risk
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed by Group treasury. Group treasury continuously monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational and research and development needs. Such forecasting preparation is compliance with internal project technology research and development schedule targets.
Financing plans are all formulated based on management’s five-year operating plan, with the corresponding budgets prepared accordingly and are submitted with cash flow forecasts for the next two years to management and the Board of Directors. Any financing plans are executed pursuant to the directives of management and the Board of Directors. Financing methods include, but are not limited to, cash capital increase, private placements, and bank borrowings. At least once each quarter, the treasury department and the Chief Executive Officer report to the Board of Directors on the Group’s operating performance and financial position.
ii. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows:
| December 31, 2025 | Less than 1 year | Between 1 and 2 years | Between 2 and 5 years | Over 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-derivative financial liabilities | ||||
| Accounts payable | $ 9,120 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Other payables | 452,659 | - | - | - |
| Long-term and short-term borrowings | 145,047 | 200,615 | 1,931,354 | - |
| Lease liabilities | 38,615 | 38,817 | 32,095 | 88,046 |
| December 31, 2024 | Less than 1 year | Between 1 and 2 years | Between 2 and 5 years | Over 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-derivative financial liabilities | ||||
| Accounts payable | $ 2,325 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Other payables | 279,506 | - | - | - |
| Other payables - related parties | 80,482 | - | - | - |
| Long-term and short-term borrowings | 89,958 | 69,393 | 1,530,936 | 191,097 |
| Lease liabilities | 47,373 | 53,984 | 57,649 | 88,046 |
The Group establishes guidelines and limits for all capital activities through financial projections and budget preparation, and strictly controls the capital liquidity to ensure sufficient cash flows for the Group. At the same time, the Group has also initiated a cost-saving plan, including reviewing the necessity of significant capital expenditures, adjusting labor costs and operating expenses to improve resource utilisation efficiency. Furthermore, the Group has implemented control measures on capital expenditures through a hierarchical authorisation mechanism to ensure that all capital expenditures achieve maximum benefits.
On November 7, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to issue ordinary shares through private placement up to a maximum of 150,000,000 shares. The private placement was resolved during shareholders' second extraordinary meeting on December 26, 2025, and will be carried out in four installments within one year. The Company completed the first private placement of 89,419,666 shares on December 30, 2025.
Considering the operating expenses and current liabilities for the next year, and taking into account the balance of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, the raised capital is expected to be used to repay bank borrowings and replenish working capital. If there are additional cash needs in the future, the Company plans to raise working capital through equity financing, bank borrowings and other methods.
(3) Fair value information
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group's investment in beneficiary certificates, and on-the-run US corporate bonds is included in Level 1.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in unlisted stocks and stock is included in Level 3.
B. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
(a) As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group had no financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value.
(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
i. The Group used market quoted prices as the fair values (that is, Level 1) of the corporate bonds and beneficiary certificates.
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.
C. For the years ended December 31, 2024, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
D. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2024:
| 2024 | |
|---|---|
| At January 1 | $ 63,803 |
| Gains and losses recognised in profit or loss | 31,075 |
| Transfers into level 3 | ( 98,118) |
| Effect of foreign exchange | 3,240 |
| At December 31 | $ - |
E. Because the shares of LaunXP Biomedical Co., Ltd. whose shares were purchased by the Group have been traded as emerging shares on the Taipei Exchange from January 18, 2024 and the transaction volume in the market has steadily increased, and there is sufficient observable market information available, the Group has transferred the fair value from Level 3 into Level 2 at the end of the month when the event occurred.
