Attachment 1
2022 Business Report
2022 was an exhilarating year for Sinphar, with double-digit increase in revenue and profits. Generic drugs, functional food, cancer drugs, and products made by natural botanical materials showed significant growth, and domestic and export markets have been developing well and strategically. This is a result from Sinphar’s commitment to investing in new products, new projects, process and quality management, and digital transformation, and building a foundation with active market channels expansion and strategic alliances. Sinphar makes investment and development decisions with giving back to society in mind. We spend tens of millions of dollars in energy saving and carbon reduction, and work towards having a more positive impact on society.
In addition to the development of generic drugs and functional foods, another major advantage of Sinphar is the control on natural plant extraction raw materials. Cistanche tubulosa extract, poria cocos extract, and walnut oligopeptides have received 160 patents from 19 countries, and has been selling in 14 countries. Current development is conducting in-depth studies and clinical trials. Take “Memoregain Capsules” as an example, in 2022 it has garnered a gold medal and the U.S. special award in the 2022 Moscow International Salon of Inventions and Innovative Technologies ARCHIMEDES, a silver medal in Monde Selection, a gold medal in International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, etc. In 2023, Memoregain Capsules is the only health food awarded both The 25[th] National Biotechnology and Medicine Care Quality Award and Symbol of National Quality. The Group will continue to develop distinctive and functional products based on scientific results to generate higher profits.
In new drugs R&D, in addition to SynCore Bio’s pipeline of SB01, SB02, SB04, and SB05, several botanical new drugs and natural botanical materials developed by Sinphar are in progress. Though the preliminary result of phase III clinical trial of second-line treatment final analysis of SynCore Bio’s SB05PC (EndoTAG®-1) was below expectation, this is the case with investment in new drugs, even the most rigorous evidence may change under clinical trials in a variable environment. Fortunately, the team has accumulated a solid foundation for cancer drug R&D and management as well as earned an internationally recognized reputation during this process, which can be used for continued development of global cancer drugs.
The pandemic has tested people’s understanding of life sciences and their ability to respond to crises, and it has also changed people’s perception of long-term
healthcare and the medicines to keep at home. Despite the daunting challenges brought on by the pandemic, there are also boundless opportunities. Sinphar has responded rapidly and adjusted resources to meet the government’s and public’s needs, and prepared safety inventory; therefore, Sinphar was not affected by the shortage of medicines during pandemic. Looking ahead, Sinphar will continue to uphold the philosophy of “life, health, and technology” to invest in and develop our business. Sinphar will be contributory to Taiwan pharmaceutical industry and live up to the expectations of shareholders.

Attachment 3
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompany parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulation Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ 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 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
Inventory Valuation
Please refer to Note 4(7.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying parent company only financial statements for related disclosures of the Company’s valuation of inventory accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.
The Company mainly engages in the production and sales of various types of drugs and food supplements. As the regulations to the pharmaceutical industry cause the cost to increase and meanwhile selling prices are less likely to be affected as they are covered by the health insurance system. Furthermore, the price of food supplement inventory fluctuates due to market competition and the impacts aroused from advertisements. Management assesses that the net realizable value of inventory involves material judgment. Hence, it is taken as a one of the key audit matters.
Our key audit procedures in response
Our procedures in relation to inventory valuation included:
-
Understand and evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to inventory.
-
Perform inventory counts, to identify if there are any inventories which are obsolete or damaged.
-
Obtain Inventory aging reports to analyses the changes in inventory age, and check the records of inventory changes to verify the correctness of inventory.
-
Evaluate the reasonableness of its inventory valuation policy of unmarketable items and obsolescence, and check the latest inventory sales price to evaluate the reasonableness of the net realizable value of the inventory.
-
Obtain evaluation documents for subsequent measurement of inventories and assess whether they have been measured in accordance with established accounting policies and review if the management’s disclosure on the evaluation of inventory is presented fairly.
Revenue Recognition
Please refer to Note 4(16.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying parent company only financial statements for related disclosures of the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.
Some products of the Company provide discounts or annual sales incentives based on the terms of the sales contract. Since the recognition of the revenue is measured on the net basis of the related discounts and incentives, we consider the revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
Our key audit procedures in response
Our procedures in relation to the revenue recognition included:
-
Evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to the revenue recognition.
-
Perform sales contract checks to verify whether the records on the recognition of sales revenue agree with the related contract, and evaluate the fairness of the management’s estimated sales discounts and annual sales incentives.
-
Assess whether the management’s accounting treatments and disclosure in relation to sales discounts and annual sales incentives are presented fairly.
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 Regulation 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 operation, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control.
-
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.
-
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 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosure are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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 achieve fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investee accounted for using equity method within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for direction, supervision and performance of the investee audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Ya Quan Zhang and Jin Shu Pan.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompany consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulation Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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 for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of December 31, 2022, the cash and cash equivalent of the consolidated balance sheet was NT$ 1,237,556 thousand, which represented 20% of the Group’s consolidated total assets. As the Group is still in the research and development phase, it is necessary to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalent balance to support future research and development costs. However, it is taken as a key audit matters due to cash and cash equivalent is a high-risk item.
Our key audit procedures in response
Our procedures in relation to cash and cash equivalent included:
-
Evaluate the design and implementation of internal control. Related to cash and cash equivalent, performed test count of cash on hand, checked the bank deposit balance with the bank statements, and send bank confirmation request in accordance with the Auditing Standards No.69. “External confirmation”.
-
Performed a test audit of the supporting documents for large inflows and outflows of cash and bank deposits, paying attention to changes in cash and bank deposits immediately prior to and after the balance sheet date.
Inventory Valuation
Please refer to Note 4(8.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related disclosures of the Group’s valuation of inventory accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.
The Group mainly engages in the production and sales of various types of drugs and food supplements. As the regulations to the pharmaceutical industry cause the cost to increase and meanwhile the selling prices are less likely to be affected as they are covered by the health insurance system. Furthermore, the price of food supplement inventory fluctuates due to market competition and the impacts aroused from advertisements. Management assesses that the net realizable value of inventory involves material judgment. Hence, it is taken as a one of the key audit matters.
Our key audit procedures in response
Our procedures in relation to inventory valuation included:
-
Understand and evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to inventory.
-
Perform inventory counts, to identify if there are any inventories which are obsolete or damaged.
-
Obtain Inventory aging reports to analyses the changes in inventory age, and check the records of inventory changes to verify the correctness of inventory.
-
Evaluate the reasonableness of its inventory valuation policy of unmarketable items and obsolescence, and check the latest inventory sales price to evaluate the reasonableness of the net realizable value of the inventory.
-
Obtain evaluation documents for subsequent measurement of inventories and assess whether they have been measured in accordance with established accounting policies and review if the management’s disclosure on the evaluation of inventory is presented fairly.
Revenue Recognition
Please refer to Note 4(17.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related disclosures of the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.
Some products of the Group provide discounts or annual sales incentives based on the terms of the sales contract. Since the recognition of the revenue is measured on the net basis of the related discounts and incentives, we consider the revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
Our key audit procedures in response
Our procedures in relation to the revenue recognition included:
-
Evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to the revenue recognition.
-
Perform sales contract checks to verify whether the records on the recognition of sales revenue agree with the related contract, and evaluate the fairness of the management’s estimated sales discounts and annual sales incentives.
-
Assess whether the management’s accounting treatments and disclosure in relation to sales discounts and annual sales incentives are presented fairly.
Intangible Assets Impairment
Please refer to Note 4(13.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related disclosures of the Group’s intangible assets impairment accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included intangible assets amounted to NT$ 86,983 thousand, which represented 2% of the Group’s consolidated total assets. The intangible assets of the Group are mainly for the patent technology licensing of the "positively charged liposomes EndoTag-1 anti-tumor drugs". The Group will continue to develop new drugs based on these patented technologies. Because the drugs are still under development, no cash inflow can be generated. As of the balance sheet date, the Group considers external and internal information in determining whether the intangible asset is impaired. If any indication of impairment exists, an assessment of the recoverable amount of the asset is required to confirm the impairment of the intangible asset. Since the impairment assessment performed by management involves critical judgement, we consider impairment assessment of intangible asset as a key audit matter.
Our key audit procedures in response
Our procedures in relation to management’s assessment of indicators of impairment included:
-
Reviewing the assessment of indicators of impairment provided by the management, and discussing with management to evaluate the following items:
-
(1)The product characteristics, target markets, technical trends, and possible derivative products of research and development projects and the patented technology licensing are still competitive in the marketplace;
-
(2)There is no significant delay in the progress of the main research and development projects;
(3)The total market value of the Group is higher than the net assets as of the balance sheet date.
- Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s adoption of the key assumption and sensitivity analysis including the cash-generating units, forecast of cash flows, the possibility for product commercialization and the discount rate.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards 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 auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 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, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control.
-
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.
-
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 auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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 achieve 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 direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Ya Quan Zhang and Jin Shu Pan.
