Appendix 1

2014 Business Report

Dear Shareholders:

Following transformational changes, 2014 proved to be a challenging year for ScinoPharm. Our team has actively faced up to the challenges brought about by uncontrollable factors such as intense competition in the global pharmaceutical industry, severe cuts in healthcare spending worldwide, and increases in the costs of raw materials. An overview of the last year shows that ScinoPharm's business operations in the areas of APIs for generic drugs and CRAM (Contract Research and Manufacturing) services for new drugs did not perform as expected due to fluctuations in the industry and supplies of raw materials. Sales for a client's weight loss drug fell short in America, causing decreased orders for our exclusively produced API, topiramate; the revenues and profits of our two main oncological products were affected by increases in raw material prices brought on by supply shortages. Additionally, our Changshu plant in China is currently unable to achieve commercial production as a result of awaiting a potential US FDA plant inspection. This delay has caused idle capacity and increases in amortization and depreciation expenses. These factors, combined with pressures from annually decreasing prices for our generic API on the market, all impacted our overall performance in 2014.

Financial Performance

ScinoPharm's consolidated revenues for 2014 were TWD4.098 billion, a 19% decline compared to our TWD 5.088 billion revenues of the previous year; consolidated net profits after tax were TWD 484 million, a 62% decline compared to the previous year's TWD1.273 billion. Earnings per share (after tax) were TWD 0.69.

At the end of 2014, our paid-in capital amounted to TWD7.03 billion; our shareholders' equity was TWD9.38 billion, making up 82% of total assets, which equaled TWD 11.372 billion. Long-term fund was 1.87 times the amount of property, plant, and equipment, and our current ratio was 2.74, making for a sound financial structure.

Operational Performance

Over the past two years, ScinoPharm has been actively pursuing its double-A vertical integration strategy (API + ANDA, namely, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient and Abbreviated New Drug Application). We formed strategic alliances with several pharmaceutical companies in the United States and China to expand our business operations in high-end generic drugs and new drugs in these two markets. These cooperative ventures will provide access to innovative products with higher value-adding. We have integrated our own resources with those of our alliances to expedite our product development cycle, boost our participation in the more lucrative end of the product value chain, and enhance our long-term competitive advantages and expansions for future growth.

We specialize in API with high technical entry barriers. Our main products continue to be market leaders, including our colorectal cancer drug, Irinotecan, which held 60-70 percent of the global market in 2013-2014; ScinoPharm provided 40-50 percent of API used to manufacture worldwide the non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer drug, Docetaxel; ScinoPharm's ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer drug Paclitaxel also had a 20-30 percent market share globally. Last year, we completed development 6 APIs on generic drugs. Also, 7 APIs were launched in the United States, Europe, and Japan, including products for the treatment of breast cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and other oncology drugs, as well as products for the treatment of motor neuron disease, malignant hyperthermia, hepatitis B, and osteoporosis. At the end of 2014, ScinoPharm had registered a total of 694 drug master files (DMFs) worldwide, 50 of which were registered in the United States, making ScinoPharm the holder of the most DMFs among the standalone API companies. Additionally, with 24 registered oncology DMFs, ScinoPharm holds the most DMFs, compared with our international standalone API counterparts.

The ScinoPharm Changshu plant in China will, in the future, play an important role in the Chinese supply chain of our American and European clients. As of the end of 2014, the Changhsu plant had already obtained a total of 9 drug production permits and is expected to achieve commercial production after passing US FDA's plant inspection scheduled for late 2015 or early 2016. Currently, ScinoPharm has 12 products under review for drug licenses with the Chinese drug regulatory authorities, 10 of which were imported from Taiwan while the other 2 were produced locally. The plant is currently working on 7 CRAM projects, all in Phase II or Phase III of clinical trials, and operations are expected to increase gradually. The market has sustained rapid growth alongside China's economic development and promotion of healthcare reform policies, and ScinoPharm will continue to combine resources from our Taiwan and Mainland China plants to expand our geographic reach.

Regarding the construction progress of ScinoPharm's injectable plant, the first liquid vial production line is expected to commence pilot run in late 2015. In the early stages of this strategy, ScinoPharm will actively seek contract manufacturing opportunities for clinical trial of new clinical drugs development while simultaneously producing registration batches of our self-developed generic drugs. Our first home-made ANDA is expected to be submitted in 2017, and to help trigger US FDA inspection of our injectable plant in 2018; commercial manufacturing of injectable drug products can then commence, raising ScinoPharm's value creation in the anti-cancer drug supply chain to fulfill customers' needs in "one-stop shopping".

ScinoPharm's long-term efforts in pharmaceutical industry have received recognitions from both Taiwanese and international communities. In July of 2014, ScinoPharm received the highest rank (A++) in the 11th Information Disclosure and Transparency Ranking compiled by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation; in October of the same year, ScinoPharm was named "API Supplier of the Year" at the Global Generics & Biosimilars Awards at the CPhI Worldwide Exhibition in Paris, France, and was highly praised in all indicators. ScinoPharm was the only company in the Asian region (excluding India) to receive an award.

Additionally, the professional media has also praised ScinoPharm's performance. In the "Leading Enterprise Survey" published in the October issue of Commonwealth Magazine, ScinoPharm was named as the most reputed enterprise for two consecutive years, winning the top spot in the biotechnology pharmaceutical industry. Also, in the Best Executive Team ranking in the Asian Pacific region (excluding Japan), compiled by the global authoritative financial magazine, Institutional Investor, ScinoPharm was selected as one of Asia's Most Honored Companies, with a ranking of #123. Of the 10 Taiwanese businesses that were featured on the list, ScinoPharm was the only pharmaceutical company.

In order to show our commitment to corporate social responsibility, our board of directors in 2014 approved a "Code of Conduct for Corporate Social Responsibility" to ensure that these corporate responsibilities are met in our active pursuit for improved operational performance. In accordance with current international trends, we seek to strike a balance among environment, society, and corporate governance. In October of the same year, we published our first Corporate Social Responsibility Report to document our economic, social, and environmental performance. In the future we will continue to focus on issues of importance to our stakeholders in our efforts to meet or exceed the public's expectations.

Future Developments

ScinoPharm is looking to accelerate our product development cycle and increase our product offerings using our own research and development capabilities, as well as actively collaborating with our global strategic partners to speed the drug production cycle. We plan to expand our CRAM services, undertaking projects with diverse technology and product efficacies for international drug companies. This will reduce current risks and improve capacity utilization, both to contribute to revenues while the Changshu plant in China is awaiting regulatory agency factory inspections. In addition, ScinoPharm will also keep optimizing existing manufacturing processes and management efficiencies to sharpen yield and make more effective use of our resources.

In order to enhance our value in the market place and our long-term competitiveness, ScinoPharm will continue to develop new products and expand our product portfolio; we plan to advance the company's original expertise in generic API's further into the development of new drug delivery technologies and new chemical entities (NECs), thus optimizing the company's market value and competitive advantage as part of our plan to become a comprehensive oncologic drug company that provides economic and efficient treatment for patients worldwide. We believe that our experienced R&D capabilities and innovative managerial strengths, coupled with the concentrated focus by all our colleagues, will allow us to solidify our operating foundations, grasp opportunities in this rapidly growing industry, and steadily expand our operating scale to create greater long-term value for our clients and shareholders.

Wish you all good health and fortune,

Kao-Huei Cheng, Chairman
