E. Extempore motions:

1. Shareholder #5670, Mr. Wang’s questions:

  • (1) What will be the revenue contribution from the Injectable Plant which requires capital expenditures of NT$1.1 billion?

  • (2) What will be the effects of Changshu Plant on consolidated sales once it starts mass production?

  • (3) The foreign exchange (FX) loss for last year (2012) was NT$43 million. Is it possible that ScinoPharm could work with parent company (Uni‐President Group) to hedge on FX risks and avoid FX gains or losses?

  • (4) Subsidiary ScinoPharm (Kunshan) Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. had a disposal income of RMB16.1 million. When will the money be received?

CEO’s response:

  • (1) One of the biggest core competences of ScinoPharm is its oncological APIs and most of the formulations for oncological APIs are in injectables. Therefore, to develop injectable businesses is our long‐term growth strategy. It’s very difficult to maintain the sterilized environment and to comply with CGMP standards for an injectable plant. Therefore, global injectable capacities are under supplied, especially for high potency oncological injectables. We want to provide one‐stop shop services for our customers: we provide oncological APIs and continue to complete the injectable formulations for them. The injectable facility won’t be fully utilized at the very beginning. The product launch time is still under discussion. The injectable plant will also need to be inspected by US FDA which we cannot predict the timeline. Therefore, we could not give you the exact forecast of the sales for the injectable plant.

  • (2) The construction of Changshu plant is undergoing smoothly and the plant is being built according to the latest GMP standards of CFDA (China Food and Drug Administration). Like the injectable plant, we need to wait for the inspection of US FDA or CFDA before the plant can start selling APIs products to US or China market. The construction schedules of both plants (Changshu and Injectable) are well managed by us. ScinoPharm is a conservative company and we wouldn’t make any aggressive estimation to investors. However, we can be sure that both these plants will provide another growth platform for the company 5 years later.

CFO’s response:

  • (3) Last year, the amount of “Foreign exchange loss” after adding the amount of “Gain on valuation of financial assets” is around NT$30 million, which is only 0.66% of our sales amount of about NT$4,600 million. Basically this is the cost necessary for our foreign exchange hedging. As for if we could do any FX hedging with Uni‐President Group outside of the banking system, the answer is No. We still need to go through the formal banking system for our hedging practices. ScinoPharm will only hedge our basic AR (accounts receivables) risk and will not do any speculative

  • 7 -

transactions.

  • (4) We received the last payment of the compensation fund from Kunshan government for claiming our land back in early 2013. We already included the compensation amount into our 2012 income statement since we were very sure that we would receive the money at the beginning of 2013.

2. Shareholder#5070, Mr. Liao’s questions:

  • (1) The founder of ScinoPharm, Mr. Kao, ever wrote an article on the newspaper in 2003 about how to invest and create fortunes. May I ask CEO Dr. Shen how you think ScinoPharm fits into the investment criteria of Mr. Kao’s?

  • (2) Many Medias (such as Marbo Weekly issue #955) pointed out that ScinoPharm is like TSMC in the biotech industry and within the next 10 years, there will be no shortages of orders from customers. May we know CEO Dr. Shen’s view on that?

CEO’s response:

  • (1) Chairman Kao’s key point in his article is that his investment is for the long‐term, not for the short‐term. Chairman Kao’s definition of a good company includes: 1. Good corporate governance, strong management team, and caring about minority shareholders, 2. Great operating performance, steady profitability, and, 3. Promising industry to meet the expectations from the investors. According to the above criteria, I believe ScinoPharm meets Mr. Kao’s definition of a good company. ScinoPharm has been meeting the best corporate governance practices since day one. Even though the company has been operating in red in the first few years of operation, looking back in time, those losses were actually accumulation of our future energy and our future products. Once those products are launched into the market place, our performance has been greatly improved. We will keep moving forward into a better future. Our management philosophy is to create the maximum values for both major shareholders and minority shareholders. We will also do our best to protect minority shareholders’ interests.

  • (2) APIs industry is a very unique industry. What we are doing everyday now is to create business opportunities for the company for the next 10 years and beyond. Because of the uniqueness of this industry, product development and launch plan is for the businesses 10 years later. In other words, we have already developed products successfully for the next 10 years, customers are secured and products are registered. There are very few industries that can secure businesses so early ahead of time. Therefore, I think we can say that there are not going to be any shortages of orders from our customers, based on our current operating strategies. Our business is really a long‐term growing business.

3. Shareholder#22830, Mr. Chiu’s question:

Can CEO provide an analysis on our strongest competitors for the next 3‐5 years and their business models? And how can we react to the competition?

CEO’s response:

We should analyze this question in two levels. Who are our strongest competitors? The definition of our strongest competitors is based on the categories of products. Our strongest business is oncology APIs. We are one of the strongest companies in oncology APIs, according to the depth, width, and value of each player’s product portfolio. There are many kinds of oncology products. Some are very easy to make. Those kinds of products are not very competitive. We like to pick the most difficult, highly demanded oncology products. We have two kinds of competitors. One kind of

  • 8 -

competitors includes those who make only APIs without formulations, just like what we have done in the past 15 years. The other kind of competitors makes not only APIs but also formulations.

We are far ahead in the competition comparing with the first kind of competitors. There are only a few of them and most are in India. They are smaller than ScinoPharm. As long as we keep increasing products in our R&D pipeline and it will be our best competition strategy. It’s not difficult for us to be ahead of them because we have built a solid foundation already.

The second kind of competitors includes the ones that make both APIs and formulations. These are major generic pharmaceutical companies, such as TEVA in Israel and Dr. Reddy’s in India. First of all, they don’t make as many oncology products as we do. The oncology products are just one of their many business items so they don’t develop oncology products as fast as we do. Secondly, their oncology APIs are mostly for their own formulation use. They only sell the oncology APIs to the merchant market when they have extra supplies and they also sell the APIs in much higher prices to their competitors. Consequently, their competitors would rather buy APIs from us instead of TEVA or Dr. Reddy’s. Why? Because they will need to buy the APIs in much higher prices and it’s very hard to compete against these big generic companies. Our advantage is that we can promise our customers that we won’t compete with them. The oncology injectable plant is not in conflict with this business strategy. We will still sell APIs to our customers. We might enter into some exclusive supply contracts with some big generic companies as I stated previously. Our goal is to become the leader of oncology products. We want to make sure our oncology products take the most part of the market share and we will develop more and more oncology APIs. These are the explanations on how we compete with our strongest competitors.

We will be closely monitoring what our competitors are up to. If a certain competitor has the ability to make formulations, then we will have the ability to make formulations, too. It’s a very interesting industry ‐ your competitor sometimes is also your customer, as long as it doesn’t make the same product. TEVA is our competitor in some sense and they are also one of our largest customers. What makes our team feel comfortable is the fact that we understand the market very thoroughly. We participate in four or five trade shows every year. We discuss with the decision makers of our customers about what they will be developing in the future and where they will get their APIs from, what they will need after 10 years from now. These are what we have been thinking every day. We build our strategies and competitive advantages upon our solid market intelligence and relationship with our customers.

F. End of meeting.

Appendix 1

Business Report

2012 was an outstanding year for ScinoPharm, which entered its 15th year of corporate life. The successful implementation of many new strategic plans and the establishment of a number of new records was a highlight of the past 15 years. As ScinoPharm actively prepared for the next phase of growth, the company was listed on the Taiwan stock market in 2011 and quickly became the largest Taiwanese medical biotech company in market capitalization. As a result of the company’s outstanding overall performance, ScinoPharm was selected last year to become a participant in the MSCI Taiwan Index, making it the only biotech company to be listed in Taiwan as part of this key index.

Financial Performance

As a result of the substantial growth in contract manufacturing and research service orders, annual consolidated revenue for 2012 was NT$4.57 billion (US$155 million), an increase of 16% over the previous year’s NT$3.95 billion (US$134 million). Net consolidated income after tax was NT$1.17 billion (US$39.7 million), an increase of 22% compared with NT$0.96 billion (US$32.6 million) in the previous year. Net profit margin reached 26% in 2012. These remarkable financial achievements broke all previous records, making 2012 the best performing year since the company was founded.

As of the close of last year, the company’s paid‐in capital was NT$6.499 billion (US$220 million), and earnings per share were NT$1.80 (US$0.06), an increase of 19% compared to NT$1.51 per share for the previous year. Shareholder equity was NT$9.1 billion (US$308 million), representing more than 88% of the total assets of the company of NT$10.3 billion (US$350 million). Long‐term capital ratio accounted for 2.4 times the value of the company’s fixed assets with the current ratio of assets to short‐term debt of 5.1. The financial structure of the company remains strong, as ScinoPharm specializes in high potency products with high technical entry barriers. The average gross margin for injectable Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) used in cancer treatment remains at about 50%, which allows for excellent profitability for those that can provide these types of products.

Operating Performance

Due to the company’s successful strategy of developing and manufacturing API products with high entry‐barriers and with high value, along with the booming contract service business, revenues and profits continued to grow from last year. In 2012, four ScinoPharm APIs entered into commercial production including the breast cancer treatment drug, Anastrozole, (listed in Japan), the contraceptive, Levonorgestrel, the anti‐Alzheimer’s drug Galantamine (listed in Europe), and the new drug for the treatment of obesity, Topiramate. In addition, other key products included oncological drugs, Docetaxel and Irinotecan, and the central nervous system drug, Galantamine. ScinoPharm continues as the leader in market share for these products and all continue to contribute positively to revenue growth.

Last year ScinoPharm saw a substantial growth in contract research and manufacturing services, accounting for 30% of revenue, wherein Vilazodone and Topiramate, exclusively supplied by ScinoPharm, experienced higher demand than expected. So far the company has successfully developed more than 70 new chemical entity (NCE) projects, with 5more currently in phase III clinical trials and 4 having already been approved for launch.

Research and Development competitiveness has been and will continue to be a major force behind the growth of ScinoPharm. Last year, R&D completed development of 6 new pharmaceutical APIs, making a

  • 10 -

total of 58 developed since the inception of the company. Samples were also provided to customers to allow them to develop products for commercialization in 2‐7 years. To strengthen the company’s long‐term competitive advantage, ScinoPharm has built R&D capabilities in formulation technology and, in addition, continues to develop patented technical processes in API manufacturing. Among the technology patents applied for in 2012, 12 were process or polymorph patents. As of the end of 2012, ScinoPharm’s 25 inventions received 113 patents, worldwide, in addition to the 51 patent applications currently filed and under review at patent offices. The rapid pace of product development and drug registration continued in 2012, and as of the end of last year, ScinoPharm has completed 631 Drug Master Files (DMFs), with 43 in the United States. DMFs are extremely important in creating competitive opportunities for marketing of our services and products.

In order to continue to expand our company’s production capacity, 2 large‐scale production lines in Taiwan were completed and production has commenced. In addition, an exclusive production line dedicated to the production of steroids is now operational. The first phase of the company’s large production plant under construction in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, China has obtained pilot production permits from local authorities. The small, medium, and large scale manufacturing facilities totaling 4 production lines and 2 clean areas have completed their installation and operation qualifications and started initial production runs. In addition, the Changshu plant delivered its first Drug Master File to the US Food and Drug Administration as the first filer late last year, which has laid a good foundation for the company’s future development in China.

The company’s forward looking efforts at developing an outstanding corporate enterprise has been rewarded with several important recognitions. Last year, it was awarded the Taiwan Bio Industry Organization’s Gold medal for “Outstanding Biotech Industry Accomplishments” and was named by CommonWealth Magazine the second most admired biotechnology company in the pharmaceutical industry in Taiwan. In a survey of the operating performances of 1000 Taiwanese enterprises, it was named among the top 50 in manufacturing profitability for 5 consecutive years. In Global Views Monthly, its outstanding overall financial performance resulted in it being selected as one of Taiwan’s 79 A+ enterprises. Each of these awards in excellence demonstrates the company’s strong business strength and ability to continue its growth in an exceptional way. As part of developing its excellent corporate culture, ScinoPharm promotes continuing internal professional management training programs, as part of efforts to nurture and develop talents and future leaders within the company.

Future Prospects

In order to further expand ScinoPharm’s existing API business, the company is vertically integrating its business to include downstream areas and more advanced development opportunities. These activities include the construction of a sterile injection facility at the company’s Taiwan headquarters, the selection of more advanced APIs, and the continued development of downstream formulations. The strategy is to develop a “Double A” model featuring selected Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and their formulations to create Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) and then using these as the twin engines for future growth. In addition, through strategic alliances, the company will make selected external investments and then focus its R&D efforts on higher value‐added areas including formulations and higher potential APIs and ANDAs and thus expand its customer base resulting in continuing future growth and development of its market.

With regards to market development, ScinoPharm is focusing on business opportunities in several emerging markets. The company has also significantly increased its efforts in Japan. At present, Japan mostly relies on imports for its generic APIs, especially injectable oncologicals. ScinoPharm has partnered with several

  • 11 -

local major pharmaceutical companies and currently has six products on the market. Opportunities for growth are expected in the future. Moreover, since the China Food and Drug Administration’s newly revised “Good Manufacture Practice” regulations became effective, ScinoPharm’s manufacturing plant in Changshu became the first newly established pharmaceutical API factory on the mainland to meet these new and tighter GMP requirements. This facility will be able to meet both the high quality demands expected in the future as well as all international manufacturing regulations. This is expected to result in excellent business opportunities in China, given its huge and growing middle and upper classes that are demanding high standards and quality assurances in their pharmaceutical products.

Many years of hard and persistent efforts have given ScinoPharm its competitive advantage today, making it the industry leader in the field of global cancer APIs. In addition to the unrelenting efforts of everyone in the company, the support and guidance from shareholders and community leaders serves as a key driving force behind our progress. The company will be relentless in its continual pursuit of excellence and maximizing the company’s operating performance for shareholders while contributing to the improvement of the health and wellbeing of all people!

Auditors’ Report and financial statements on 2012

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying non‐consolidated balance sheets of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related non‐consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Rules Governing the Examination of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards and rules require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the non‐consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the "Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers" and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (not presented herein) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. In our report dated March 22, 2013, we expressed a modified unqualified opinion and an unqualified opinion on the 2012 and 2011 financial statements, respectively.

Auditors’ Report and consolidated financial statements on 2012

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Rules Governing the Examination of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards and rules require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the "Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers" and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.
