REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon,

~ 15 ~

we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of the current period are as follows:

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(8) for accounting policies on the evaluation of inventories, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of significant accounting estimations and assumptions relating to evaluation of inventories, and Note 6(5) for the details of allowance for inventory valuation loss. As of December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation loss are $532,438 thousand and $11,889 thousand, respectively.

The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of human medicine. Due to the influence of market demand and short expiration date of medicines, etc., there is a risk in market price decline and obsolescence of inventories. The Company evaluates inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The net realisable values of the aged and obsolete inventories are evaluated based on the historical information of the selling price and discount rate.

Given that the evaluation of inventories is subject to management’s judgement and the accounting estimations will have significant influence on the inventory values, we consider the evaluation of inventories a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures for the above matter:

  1. Assessed the reasonableness of policies on allowance for inventory valuation loss, based on our understanding of the inventory classification and historical information of the selling price and discount rate, etc.

  2. Assessed the effectiveness of the management’s inventory control, based on our understanding of the operation of the warehouse management, inspected the annual inventory taking plan and performed our observation.

  3. Tested whether the basis of inventory aging used in calculating the net realisable value of inventory is consistent with the Company’s policy.

  4. Validated the net realisable value of inventories and the adequacy of allowance for inventory valuation loss.

~ 16 ~

Existence of domestic sales revenue in human medicines

Description

Refer to Note 4(25) for accounting policies on revenue recognition. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognised when the Company has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.

The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of human medicines, which amounted to $2,156,971 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s sales is mainly domestic-based and its customers are numerous, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and drug administrations all over the country. Since the sales transactions are numerous and would require a longer period for verification, we consider the existence of domestic sales revenue from human medicines a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures for the above matter:

  1. Assessed the consistency and effectiveness of internal control relevant to sales recognition, taking into consideration customer credit, approved records from sales manager on unusual orders and subsequent cash collection procedures.

  2. Assessed the reasonableness of sales price and nature, based on the basic information of the major customers, including the details of chairman and major shareholders, registered address, principal plan of business, capital and main business activities, etc.

  3. Selected samples of sales transactions and checked against related supporting documentation, including unit prices, quantities, reasonableness of sales allowance recognition and subsequent cash collection.

Other matter –Reference to the audits of other independent accountants

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity method. These investments amounted to $143,705 thousand and $149,226 thousand, constituting 2.71% and 2.90% of total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the share of loss and other comprehensive income of associates accounted for under the equity method was ($5,756) thousand and ($31,089) thousand, constituting (2.60%) and (7.73%) of total comprehensive income

~ 17 ~

for the years then ended, respectively. The financial statements of these investee companies were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the parent company only financial statements and information disclosed relative to these investments, is based solely on the reports of other independent accountants.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the

parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 ROC GAAS 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 parent company only financial statements.

~ 18 ~

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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 Company’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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

~ 19 ~

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). 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 the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial

~ 27 ~

statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of the current period are as follows:

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(10) for accounting policies on the evaluation of inventories, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of significant accounting estimations and assumptions relating to evaluation of inventories, and Note 6(6) for the details of allowance for inventory valuation loss. As of December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation loss are $828,932 thousand and $101,038 thousand, respectively.

The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of human medicine and dietary supplement. Due to the influence of market demand and short expiration date of medicines and dietary supplements, etc., there is a risk in market price decline and obsolescence of inventories. The Group evaluates inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The net realisable values of the aged and obsolete inventories are evaluated based on the historical information of the selling price and discount rate.

Given that the evaluation of inventories is subject to management’s judgement and the accounting estimations will have significant influence on the inventory values, we consider the evaluation of inventories a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures for the above matter:

  1. Assessed the reasonableness of policies on allowance for inventory valuation loss, based on our understanding of the inventory classification and historical information of the selling price and discount rate, etc.

  2. Assessed the effectiveness of the management’s inventory control, based on our understanding of the operation of the warehouse management, inspected the annual inventory taking plan and performed our observation.

  3. Tested whether the basis of inventory aging used in calculating the net realisable value of inventory is consistent with the Group’s policy.

  4. Validated the net realisable value of inventories and the adequacy of allowance for inventory valuation loss.

~ 28 ~

Existence of domestic sales revenue in human medicines and dietary supplements

Description

Refer to Note 4(26) for accounting policies on revenue recognition. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.

The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of human medicines and dietary supplements, which amounted to $2,985,169 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Group’s sales is mainly domestic-based and its customers are numerous, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, food and drug administrations all over the country. Since the sales transactions are numerous and would require a longer period for verification, we consider the existence of domestic sales revenue from human medicines and dietary supplements a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures for the above matters:

  1. Assessed the consistency and effectiveness of internal control relevant to sales recognition, taking into consideration customer credit, approved records from sales manager on unusual orders and subsequent cash collection procedures.

  2. Assessed the reasonableness of sales price and nature, based on the basic information of the major customers, including the details of chairman and major shareholders, registered address, principal plan of business, capital and main business activities, etc.

  3. Selected samples of sales transactions and checked against related supporting documentation, including unit prices, quantities, reasonableness of sales allowance recognition and subsequent cash collection.

Other matter –Reference to the audits of other independent accountants

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity method. Those investments amounted to $143,705 thousand and $149,226 thousand, constituting 2.25% and 2.40% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the share of loss and other comprehensive income of associates accounted for under the equity method was ($5,756) thousand and ($31,089) thousand, constituting (2.00%) and (7.16%) of consolidated total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. The financial statements of these investee companies were audited by other independent

~ 29 ~

accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and information disclosed relative to these investments, is based solely on the reports of other independent accountants.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

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 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 supervisors, 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 ROC GAAS 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.

~ 30 ~

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 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 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.

  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 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 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

~ 31 ~

thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

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