2024 Business Report
Sinphar Pharmaceutical proudly marks its 48th anniversary in 2025. The group remains firmly committed to its three strategic pillars: the diversified development of generic drugs, the advancement of new drug R&D, and the expansion into natural botanical products. In 2024, Sinphar sustained strong growth, achieving record-high revenues and improved gross profit margins compared to previous years. This success reflects our ongoing investments in new products, process and quality management, digital transformation, and breakthroughs in digital marketing and advertising. Sinphar’s stable business model positions us well for future challenges and opportunities.
As demonstrated in our financial results, the group has achieved consistent revenue growth from 2021 through 2024, with cumulative growth exceeding 30% compared to 2020. Income across all categories and R&D activities has expanded significantly, and we expect this momentum to continue. Furthermore, strategic alliances and global partnerships have steadily deepened, strengthening our foundation for sustainable growth. To further capitalize on emerging opportunities, we are investing in smart manufacturing and digitalization, enhancing our production and R&D capacities. Alongside operational growth, we will continue prioritizing investments that drive long-term value.
Beyond technological and infrastructure investments, nurturing talent remains central to our sustainability strategy. To this end, we are expanding the Sinphar Academy, which will now encompass training in quality, sales, R&D, and management. The Academy will serve as a cornerstone for strengthening our corporate culture and building a robust talent pipeline aligned with our long-term vision.
Sustainability is now an imperative embraced by governments and multinational clients alike. Sinphar has invested tens of millions of dollars in energy conservation and carbon reduction initiatives.

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, 2024 and 2023 and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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, 2024. 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, 2024 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
- 14 -
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.
- 15 -
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 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 entity or business activities 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.
-
16 -
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.

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, 2024 and 2023 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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, 2024. 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, 2024 are stated as follows:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of December 31, 2024, the cash and cash equivalent of the consolidated balance sheet was NT$ 1,075,672 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.
- 22 -
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 letter in accordance with the Auditing Standards No.505. “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 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.
-
23 -
-
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, 2024 included intangible assets amounted to NT$ 72,163 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:
-
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, 2024 and 2023 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.
- 24 -
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 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 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.
-
25 -
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, 2024 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 Po Ju Chou.
