ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.
2021 Business Report
Since the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020, the pandemic has shown no signs of slowing down, and the virus has mutated into different variants such as Delta and Omicron. This has not only impacted the economic, political and social situations of various countries, but has also driven various industries around the world to rapidly develop corresponding adaptability. The pandemic has brought about a crisis in the operation of the economic system and social structure, but it has also presented an opportunity for human society to rethink, challenge the accustomed way of operation that has been taken for granted, and think outside the box. For business operations, it is a crisis, but also an opportunity for breakthroughs.
Despite facing high uncertainty in the global market and the various impacts of Covid-19, ScinoPharm Taiwan made use of every minute in the past year, accelerated the deployment and strategy implementation at various phases, and continued to stabilize its overall business performance. Although operations have been hindered to some extent due to the impact of local pandemic prevention policies, ScinoPharm Taiwan has reduced the impact of global market turbulence and volatility through elasticity and flexible adaptability, so as to allow us to tide through the uncertainties in year 2021 with resilience and strive to accomplish our tasks and goals.
In summary, the company’s consolidated annual revenue in 2021 was NT$2.762 billion. The net profit aftertax was NT$243 million, and the earnings per share was NT$0.31. As of the end of 2021, the company’s paid-up capital was NT$7.907 billion, and shareholder’s equity was NT$10.511 billion, which accounted for approximately 90% of its total assets of NT$11.69 billion; long-term capital was 2.76 times the value of its fixed assets, with a current ratio of 10.73, maintaining a sound and healthy financial structure.
Reducing the impact of the market environment and stabilizing the original niche market
ScinoPharm Taiwan has been upholding the attitude of focusing on its core business and being prudent, as well as adhering to the company's strategy implementation. In order to maintain revenue and profit growth, the company continues to promote the extension of its business from APIs to preparations, gradually transforming and expanding its business scope. However, revenue growth has been sluggish in recent years, mainly due to external threats, such as pressure stemming from API prices and competition from the vertical integration of other companies, etc. At the same time, we will also explore in depth and reviewed the internal factors that need to be overcome, and accelerated our progress in enhancing the competitive advantage and market influence of our products by being more actively involved in product development and deconstructing and optimizing our overall cost structure.
Over the past 25 years, ScinoPharm’s strength lies in the production and manufacture of APIs. Its sophisticated and stable production and manufacturing system has gained recognition from all parties. API development and manufacture is not only the foundation of ScinoPharm, but also the driving force of its operation momentum. The company plans its production schedules in a systematic manner to optimize capacity utilization. It analyzes the market and customer needs to optimize the production processes of major core products, in conjunction with flexible scheduling and use of production equipment. The company also gives thought to the efficient utilization of resources, promotes customized production projects and shares the benefits of cost optimization with its customers, creating new opportunities for
- 5 -
existing core API products, while enhancing the competitiveness of its customers in the sales market, bringing more diversified collaboration possibilities for each other.
Revitalizing existing competitive advantages and deepening CDMO
In addition to ScinoPharm’s own APIs and preparation products, contract development and manufacturing is also the mainstay of its business. Contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) will be of greater importance to the future development of the company. In the past, the company has been focusing on the synthesis of small molecules. Moving forward, the company will also be focusing on the development of peptides and nucleic acid drugs derived from peptides, as well as planning the reconstruction of existing production lines and expansion of equipment.
In terms of preparation business, the focus will be on complex preparations and developing products that require relatively high technical difficulty. In 2021, the company applied for TFDA inspection of the lyophilized injection line of the Injectable Plant, which passed the GMP and GDP compliance assessment for new plants. ScinoPharm has developed and outsourced a number of products that continue to contribute to revenue, and a number of injection products are also being developed. In addition, following the approval of injectable generic peptide products (pre-filled needles), the water for injection products developed and produced by the company has been approved under the U.S. abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) in April last year.
Strategic deployment gradually takes effect and development blueprint is being realized in order
The operation of ScinoPharm’s Changshu site is gradually on track. At present, a total of four products in collaboration with customers have obtained marketing approvals and commenced sales. The integration of the two plants in Tainan and Changshu is gradually demonstrating synergy, which will help create production advantages in API products of the company and exert cost competitiveness. The two plants will be promoting the sales of APIs to support the stocking requirements of customers in Japan and China. ScinoPharm’s Injectable Plant has completed the first TFDA inspection in April 2021, achieving an important milestone in the company's transformation. In the first quarter of this year, ScinoPharm will also make every effort to prepare for the successful passage of the most important U.S. FDA inspection. It schedules to launch its first own injection product in 2023. Two other key products are also scheduled to be launched in 2025. The company is systematically advancing its injection preparation business.
The results of ScinoPharm’s efforts in the Japanese market over the past few years are evident to all; ScinoPharm is now the largest supplier of two API products in Japan. In order to continuously deepen the investment in the Japanese market, the branch office originally set up in Japan has been upgraded to ScinoPharm Japan Branch, and in the future, it will leverage the extended expiration period for patents in the Japanese market combined with the new production capacity of existing APIs and injectable plants to strive for project collaboration opportunities for API integrated CDMO services with its customers. Currently, ScinoPharm Taiwan is the largest supplier of API products for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and anticancer drugs in Japan, with market size of approximately US$200 million for the former and over US$100 million for the latter.
Establishing core business strategies and expanding business fields in diversified ways
In order to further strengthen the vertical integration of the company's business, more elasticity and possibilities in the preparation area, including collaboration in other sterile formulation products, such as ophthalmic or oral drugs, are opportunities to expand the scope of ScinoPharm’s operations. ScinoPharm
- 6 -
will seek out suitable products to invest in, starting from its own niche API products. In order to continuously expand the development of different forms of preparation business, the company will advance through different means. In addition to investing in internal construction, we will also seek cooperative alliance with external resources. As we move down from upstream APIs to the preparation business, we need to get more information and feedback from the end market to review whether our product strategy, R&D progress or pricing are in line with market demand.
In the future, ScinoPharm will not rule out the possibility of crossing over from the field of generic drugs to new drugs. The focus of new drug business will still be on cancer drugs and peptides, in which ScinoPharm specializes, linking up with its existing core competencies and exploring whether there are resources available and advantages for development from its existing API niche. The company has invited independent directors and clinical medical experts to form a technology advisory committee to give advice from the enduser's perspective and jointly discuss the direction of development.
Building consensus and facing future challenges with a positive attitude
ScinoPharm has had a complete series of specific action plans for the future, and we will implement them in a more systematic, efficient and disciplined manner so as to contribute to the overall operation and development of the company. We firmly believe that if the operation of every aspect is in compliance and errors are reduced to a minimum, profitability will increase; if the organization as a whole can be "right more often than wrong" in its workflow, it will spur the company to develop in a positive direction. We believe that with the concerted efforts of all our employees, ScinoPharm will break new grounds and harness exponential growth to reward all shareholders, customers and colleagues.

Appendix 3
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in 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 Accountants in 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 Company’s 2021 parent company only financial statements. 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters for the Company’s 2021 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:
- 9 -
Occurrence of sales revenues from API and injection products
Description
Refer to Note 4(28) for accounting policy on revenue recognition and Note 6(18) for accounting items on revenue.
The Company’s sales revenue mainly arises from the manufacture and sales of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”) and injection products. The Company’s customers come from Taiwan, Asia, Europe and America. Since the volume and amount of transactions are significant, we considered the occurrence of sales revenue from API and injection products a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following key audit procedures in response to the above key audit matter:
-
We evaluated internal control system that was designed and implemented by management in reviewing customers’ credit, and tested whether the counterparty and the credit valuation documents have had been properly approved.
-
We sampled transaction details and supporting documents for consistency from transaction counterparties who have higher turnover growth.
-
We sent confirmation letters for significant transaction counterparties, ensuring the responses and account records were consistent with customers’ data, and evaluated the reasonableness on the difference between the responses and the account records.
Inventory valuation
Description
Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied in inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for details of inventories. As at December 31, 2021, the balances of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses were $1,521,193 thousand and $298,162 thousand, respectively.
The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of API. Due to the complex manufacturing process, long lead time in materials preparation and uncertain product registration timing before market launch, there is a higher risk of incurring loss on inventory valuation. For inventories sold under normal terms, the Company measures inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For inventories ageing over a certain period of time or are individually identified as obsolete inventories, the net realisable value is calculated based on the historical information of inventory turnover. Since the calculation of net realisable value involves subjective judgement and the ending balance of inventory is material to the financial statements, we consider the valuation of inventory a key audit matter.
- 10 -
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following key audit procedures in response to the above key audit matter:
-
We compared the financial statements to ascertain whether the provision policy on allowance for inventory valuation losses has been consistently applied and assessed the reasonableness of the provision policy.
-
We understood the inventory management process, observing annual physical counts to assess the effectiveness of management’s classification and controls over obsolete and slow-moving inventory.
-
We checked the accuracy of inventory aging report and sampled inventories for those lately changed before the balance sheet date in order to compute the accuracy of inventory aging range; and evaluated whether the older inventories were obsoleted.
-
We sampled the computation of net realisable value of individual inventory and compared with account records.
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 Regulations 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 operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including 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 generally accepted auditing standards in 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
- 11 -
the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in 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, misrepresentations, 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 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 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 achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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
- 12 -
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 of the current period 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.

Appendix 4
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and 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 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in 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 Accountants 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 Group’s 2021 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters for the Group’s 2021 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Occurrence of sales revenues from API and injection products
Description
Refer to Note 4(28) for accounting policy on revenue recognition and Note 6(17) for accounting items
on revenue.
The Group’s sales revenue mainly arises from the manufacture and sales of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”) and injection products. The Group’s customers come from Taiwan, Asia, Europe and America. Since the volume and amount of transactions are significant, we considered the occurrence of sales revenue from API and injection products a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following key audit procedures in response to the above key audit matter:
- 20 -
-
We evaluated internal control system that was designed and implemented by management in reviewing customers’ credit, and tested whether the counterparty and the credit valuation documents have had been properly approved.
-
We sampled transaction details and supporting documents for consistency from transaction counterparties who have higher turnover growth.
-
We sent confirmation letters for significant transaction counterparties, ensuring the responses and account records were consistent with customers’ data, and evaluated the reasonableness on the difference between the responses and the account records.
Inventory valuation
Description
Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2)1 for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied in inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for details of inventories. As at December 31, 2021, the balances of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses were $1,724,770 thousand and $379,767 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of API. Due to the complex manufacturing process, long lead time in materials preparation and uncertain product registration timing before market launch, there is a higher risk of incurring loss on inventory valuation. For inventories sold under normal terms, the Group measures inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For inventories ageing over a certain period of time or are individually identified as obsolete inventories, the net realisable value is calculated based on the historical information of inventory turnover. Since the calculation of net realisable value involves subjective judgement and the ending balance of inventory is material to the financial statements, we consider the valuation of inventory a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following key audit procedures in response to the above key audit matter:
-
We compared the financial statements to ascertain whether the provision policy on allowance for inventory valuation losses has been consistently applied and assessed the reasonableness of the provision policy.
-
We understood the inventory management process, observing annual physical counts to assess the effectiveness of management’s classification and controls over obsolete and slow-moving inventory.
-
We checked the accuracy of inventory ageing report and sampled inventories for those lately changed before the balance sheet date in order to compute the accuracy of inventory aging range; and evaluated whether the older inventories were obsoleted.
-
We sampled the computation of net realisable value of individual inventory and compared with account records.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
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
- 21 -
statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 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 auditor’s 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 generally accepted auditing standards in 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 generally accepted auditing standards in 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, misrepresentations, 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
- 22 -
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves 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 the 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 of the current period 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.
