In international business, in addition to the original co-development of drugs and functional food and OEM for other global companies, the Company obtained organic certifications in the United States, Europe, and China, which are beneficial to the future development of natural botanical materials that hold 163 patents in 19 countries.
SynCore is in a better financial state after a capital reduction then a capital increase this year. Years of domestic and overseas new cancer drugs R&D has given SynCore a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field. For operational outlook, SynCore will strategically select international projects in the area of development and agency of global cancers generic drugs, agency of global new drugs for cancers, development of API for cancers and development of new dosage forms and new drugs. If the projects can be successfully completed and commercialized, SynCore will have an extensive comprehensive product line.

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 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 sales incentives.
-
Assess whether the management’s accounting treatments and disclosure in relation to sales discounts and 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.
- 18 -
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.
-
19 -
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, 2023 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.

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of December 31, 2023, the cash and cash equivalent of the consolidated balance sheet was NT$ 1,074,489 thousand, which represented 17% 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.
- 25 -

-
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 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.
-
26 -
-
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 sales incentives.
-
Assess whether the management’s accounting treatments and disclosure in relation to sales discounts and 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, 2023 included intangible assets amounted to NT$ 71,823 thousand, which represented 1% 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:

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, 2023 and 2022 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.
- 27 -
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.
-
28 -
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, 2023 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.
