CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011


For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

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.

~1~

ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. has adopted, starting from January 1, 2013, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretation Committee (collectively referred herein as “IFRSs”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, R.O.C (“FSC”) and the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” effective in 2013 in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. Information relating to the adoption of IFRSs by ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. is disclosed in Note 13 in accordance with Jin-Guan-Jen-Shen-Zi Letter No. 0990004943 of FSC dated February 2, 2010. The IFRSs may be subject to changes during the time of transition; therefore, the actual impact of IFRSs adoption on ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and its subsidiaries may also change.

Equity accounts are translated at historical rates except for beginning retained earnings, which is carried forward from prior year’s balance. Dividends are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of declaration. Profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted-average rates of the year. The resulting translation differences are included in “cumulative translation adjustments” under stockholders’ equity.

(3) Foreign currency transactions and translation

  • (a) Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, the functional currency. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars. Foreign currency transactions are measured and recorded in their functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on that date. Any change in the exchange rate between the date of transaction and the settlement date which results in an exchange gain or loss is charged to income for the period. The unrealized exchange gain or loss on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date is included in income for the period.

  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss. However, translation exchange gains or losses on intercompany accounts that are, in nature, deemed long term is accounted for as a reduction in stockholders’ equity.

  • (c) When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized directly in equity, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized directly in equity. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in profit or loss. However, non-monetary items that are

~11~

measured on a historical cost basis are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

(4) Classification of current and non-current items

  • (a) Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

  • A. Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized or consumed, or are intended to be sold within the normal operating cycle;

  • B. Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • C. Assets that are expected to be realized within 12 months from the balance sheet date;

  • D.Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • (b) Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

  • A. Liabilities arising from operating activities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  • B. Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • C. Liabilities to be paid off within 12 months from the balance sheet date; and

  • D. Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than 12 months after the balance sheet date.

(5) Cash equivalents

  • (a) Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible into fixed amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of change in value resulting from fluctuations in interest rates.

  • (b) The Group’s statement of cash flows is prepared on the basis of cash and cash equivalents.

(6) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • (a) Investment in unquoted equity instruments is recognized or derecognized using trade date accounting, and is stated initially at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

  • (b) These financial instruments are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and the gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The fair value of listed stocks, OTC stocks and closed-end mutual funds is based on latest quoted fair prices of the accounting period. The fair value of open-end and balanced mutual funds is based on the net asset value at the balance sheet date.

  • (c) For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, if the derivative is an option, then the transaction is recognized at fair value on the trade date, and if the derivative is not an option, then the transaction is recognized at zero fair value on the trade date.

  • (d) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are classified into asset or liability held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if acquired

~12~

principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Financial assets and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented Group’s investment strategy. Information about these financial assets and financial liabilities are provided internally on a fair value basis to the Group’s management personnel. The Group’s investment strategy is to invest free cash resources in equity securities or convertible bonds as part of the Group’s long-term capital growth strategy. The Group has designated almost all of its compound debt instruments as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (7) Notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables

  • (a) Notes receivable and accounts receivable are claims generated from the sale of goods or services. Other receivables are those receivables arising from transactions other than the sale of goods or services. Notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost less impairment using the effective interest method.

  • (b) The Group recognizes impairment loss on the financial instruments when there is an objective evidence of impairment. The amount of impairment is the book value less the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted by original effective interest rate. If, subsequently, an event, directly related to impairment, indicates a decrease in impairment, the impairment loss recognized in prior years shall be recovered. The book value of the financial instruments after recovering the impairment shall not exceed the amortized cost that would have been had no impairment been previously recognized.

(8) Inventories

The perpetual inventory system is adopted for inventory recognition. The cost is determined using the weighted average method. Allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. At the end of year, inventories are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. When the cost of inventories exceeds the net realizable value, the amount of any write-down of inventories is recognized as cost of sales during the period; and the amount of any reversal of inventory write-down is recognized as a reduction in cost of sales during the period.

(9) Financial assets carried at cost

  • (a) Investment in unquoted equity instruments is recognized or derecognized using trade date accounting, and is stated initially at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

  • (b) Long-term investments in which the Group owns at least 50% of the investee company’s voting rights, or in which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence, are included in the consolidated financial statements.

  • (c) Effective January 1, 2005, investment loss on the non-controlled entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence is recognized to the extent that the amount of long-term investments in such investees is written down to zero. However, if the Company continues to provide endorsements, guarantees or financial support for such investees, the investment loss is recognized continuously in proportion to the Company’s equity interest in such investees. In the case of controlled entities, the Company recognizes all the losses incurred by such entities that will not be covered by other stockholders. When the operations of such investees become profitable, the profits shall be allocated to the Company to the extent that the amount of losses previously recognized by the Company is fully recovered.

  • (d) For foreign investments accounted for under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share for the investee company’s cumulative translation adjustment, resulting from translating the foreign investee company’s financial statements into New Taiwan Dollars, is recognized by the Company and included as “cumulative translation adjustment” under stockholders’ equity.

  • (11) Property, plant and equipment and idle assets

  • (c) Idle assets are stated at the lower of book value or net realizable value and are reclassified as other assets. The difference between the book value and net realizable value is recorded as a loss in the current period. Depreciation recognized for the period is recorded as non-operating expenses and losses.

  • (d) When an asset is sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss on disposal is recorded as non-operating income or loss.

~14~

(12) Other intangible assets

As employees' bonus could be distributed in the form of stock, the diluted EPS computation shall include those estimated shares that would increase from employees' stock bonus issuance in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting year, taking into account the dilutive effects of stock bonus on potential common shares; whereas, basic EPS shall be calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting year that include the shares of employees’ stock bonus for the appropriation of prior year earnings, which have already been resolved at the stockholders’ meeting held in the reporting year. Since capitalization of employees’ bonus no longer belongs to distribution of stock dividends, the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for all periods presented shall not be adjusted retroactively.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

  • A. For short-term financial instruments, the fair values were determined based on their carrying amount because of short maturities of the instruments. This was applied to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets–current, notes and accounts payable, accrued expenses, other payables and capital lease payable–current.

  • B. The fair value of other financial assets–non-current and refundable deposits is based on the discounted value of expected future cash inflows, and the discount rate is based on the fixed rate of one year time deposit of the post office at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

  • C. The fair value of guarantee deposits received is based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows, and the discount rate is based on the interest rates of similar long-term loans at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

  • D. The fair values of derivative financial instruments which include unrealized gains or losses on unsettled contracts were determined based on the amounts to be received or paid assuming the contracts were settled as of the reporting date.

(2) Significant gains and losses of financial instruments

  • The Company recognized a loss of $1,593 and $5,323 for the changes in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

  • (3) Financial risk management and hedging strategy

  • The Company adopt a comprehensive control system to identify all risks (including market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk), which enables the Company to control and measure the market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk effectively. The target of the market risk management is to appropriately consider the economic environment, competition, and impact of market value risks, to optimize risk, to optimize risk exposure, to sustain liquidity, and to manage all the foreseen market risk collectively.

  • In order to achieve the target of risk management, the hedge strategies of the Company focus on the market value risk and cash flow risk.

(4) Information of financial risk

A. Market risk

  • (a) Exchange rate risk

  • (i) The Company has set a “stop loss” amount to limit its market risk on forward contracts that are affected by foreign exchange risk.

  • (ii)The Company’s major import and export transactions are in US dollars. The change in fair value will be caused by foreign exchange rate changes, however, the amounts and periods of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable are the same, so the market risk would be offset.

~38~

  • (b) The Company carries on business transactions involving non-functional currency which would be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities affected by significant fluctuations in exchange rates are shown below:

  • (c) Interest rate risk

The Group issues debt financial instruments with fixed interest rate. The fair value of debt financial instruments would change due to changes in market interest rate.

(d) Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because the investments held by the Company are classified either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Company sets limits to control the transaction volume and stop-loss amount of derivatives to reduce its market risk.

B. Credit risk

  • (A)The Group entered into derivative financial instruments with financial institutions with good credit ratings. The possibility of default by those parties is very low. The maximum market value is the carrying amount of derivative financial instruments.

  • (B)The Group has lower significant concentrations of credit risk. It has policies in place to ensure that wholesale sales of products is made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The maximum loss to the Group is the book value of accounts receivable.

~39~

  • C. Liquidity risk

  • (A)The available-for-sale financial assets are publicly traded stocks which have active markets and the Group can sell these assets near their fair value. The liquidity risk exposure is low.

  • (B)The Group is exposed to a higher liquidity risk since investment securities have no active market. However, the Group has no intention to hold these financial assets for trading and does not expect to sell these financial assets frequently. Therefore, the exposure to liquidity risk would be effectively reduced.

  • D. Interest rate change cash flow risk

The Group has no long-term loans at the end of year. Therefore, the Company has no interest rate change cash flow risk.

  • (5) Financial statement presentation

Certain accounts in the 2011 financial statements were reclassified to conform with the 2012 financial statement presentation.

Notes to the reconciliation:

  • (a)In accordance with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, idle assets are presented in “Other Assets”. The Group reclassified “Idle assets” of $9,849 to “Property, plant and equipment” at the date of transition to IFRSs and increased “Property, plant and equipment - Machinery and equipment” by $99,847, “Property, plant and equipment - Accumulated depreciation” by $62,899 and “Property, plant and equipment - Accumulated impairment” by $27,126 accordingly. In addition, the Group reclassified “Idle assets” of $6,445 to “Property, plant and equipment”, and increased “Property, plant and equipment - Machinery and equipment” by $85,218, “Property, plant and equipment - Accumulated depreciation” by $57,504, and “Property, plant and equipment - Accumulated impairment” by $21,269 at December 31, 2012.

  • (b)In accordance with current accounting standards in R.O.C., the Group’s payments to obtain the land use rights and prepayments for leased lands are presented in “Other intangible assets”. However, in accordance with IAS 17, “Leases”, such long operating lease should be treated as long-term prepaid rent. Therefore, the Group reclassified “Other intangible assets” of $100,158 to “Long-term prepaid rent expenses” at the date of transition to IFRSs. In addition, as of December 31, 2012, “Other intangible assets” of $90,018 was reclassified to “Long-term prepaid rent expenses”.

  • (c) In accordance with current accounting standards in R.O.C., a deferred tax asset or liability should, according to the classification of its related asset or liability, be classified as current or non-current. However, a deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting should be classified as current or non-current according to the expected period to realize or settle a deferred tax asset or liability. However, under IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, an entity should not classify a deferred tax asset or liability as current. Therefore, the Group reclassified “Deferred income tax assets - current” of $13,974 to “Deferred income tax assets - non-current” on the date of transition to IFRSs. In addition, as of December 31, 2012, “Deferred income tax assets - current” of $854 was reclassified to “Deferred income tax assets - non-current”.

~58~

  • (d)The current accounting standards in R.O.C. do not specify the rules on the cost recognition for accumulated unused compensated absences. The Group recognized such costs as expenses upon actual payment. However, IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”, requires that the costs of accumulated unused compensated absences should be accrued as expenses at the end of the reporting period. Therefore, the Group increased “Deferred income tax assets - non-current” by $2,523 and “Accrued expenses” by $14,843 and decreased “Undistributed earnings” by $12,320 at the date of the transition to IFRSs. In addition, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, “Deferred income tax assets - non-current” and “Accrued expenses” were increased by $2,779 and $16,345, respectively and “Undistributed earnings” was decreased by $13,566 (including increase in “Operating expenses” of $1,502 and decrease in “Income tax expense” of $256).

  • (e) The discount rate used to calculate pensions shall be determined with reference to the factors specified in R.O.C. SFAS 18, paragraph 23. However, IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”, requires an entity to determine the rate used to discount employee benefits with reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds that match the currency at the end day of the reporting period and duration of its pension plan. The Group selected to recognize all unrecognized transitional net benefit obligation and cumulative actuarial gains and losses relating to employee benefits at the date of transition to IFRSs. Therefore, at the date of transition to IFRSs, the Group increased “Accrued pension liabilities” by $35,030, “Deferred income tax assets - non-current” by $6,118, and decreased “Deferred pension cost” by $959, “Undistributed earnings” by $29,871. In addition, the Group increased “Accrued pension liabilities” by $35,030, “Deferred income tax assets - non-current” by $5,998 and decreased “Undistributed earnings” by $29,285 (including increase in “Income tax expense” of $339; decrease in “Operating expenses” of $5,992 and “actuarial losses” of $1,067 (shown as “Undistributed earnings” listed above)) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

  • (f) The Group selected to reset the cumulative translation differences from foreign operations to zero at the date of transition to IFRSs, in accordance with IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Therefore, the Group decreased cumulative translation adjustments by $72,610 and increased undistributed earnings by $72,610 at the date of transition to IFRSs and December 31, 2012.

  • (g)In accordance with the Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Order No.1010012865, dated April 6, 2012, the Group set aside special reserve of $30,419 on the date of transition to IFRSs and December 31, 2012, as the Group selected to reclassify the transition differences of items 12 and 13 above to “Retained earnings” account.

  • (h) The Group purchased fixed assets and made payments in advance. Pursuant to the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, such prepayments

~59~

are presented as “Fixed assets”. Based on the nature of the transactions, the prepayments should be recognized as “Other assets”. Therefore, the Group reclassified “Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment” of $346,322 to “Other assets - prepayment for equipment” at the date of transition to IFRSs. In addition, at December 31, 2012, “Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment” of $237,535 was reclassified to “Other assets - prepayment for equipment”.

  • (i)The Group reclassified lost its significant influence in Tanvex Biologics, Inc. (“Tanvex”), and reclassified the carrying amount of Tanvex from “Long-term investment accounted for under the equity method” amounting to $167,673 and related “Cumulative translation differences” associated with Tanvex of $18,118 to “Financial assets carried at cost”. However, as the Group had selected to reset the cumulative translation differences from foreign operations to zero at the date of transition to IFRSs, it increased both “Financial assets carried at cost” and “Cumulative translation differences” by $18,118 at December 31, 2012. On the same date, the Group reversed proportionately the special reserve back to “Retained earnings” by $ 7,590, in accordance with the Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Order No.1010012865, dated April 6, 2012.

  • (3) In accordance with IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards and “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” that are expected to be applied in 2013, the Company has elected the following exemptions:

  • A. Share-based payment

    • For vested equity instruments and granted liabilities from shared-based payment transactions before January 1, 2012, the Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2, “Share-based Payment.”
  • B. Employee benefits

    • The Company has elected to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses relating to employee benefits plan as retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs. In accordance with IAS 19, “Employee Benefits” paragraph 120A, the Company discloses present value of defined benefit obligation, fair value of the employee benefit plan assets, surplus or deficit in the employee benefit plan and experience adjustments determined for each accounting period prospectively from the transition date.
  • C. Cumulative translation differences

    • The Company has elected to reset the cumulative translation differences to zero at the date of transition to IFRSs, thereafter the exchange differences will comply with IAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”.
  • D. Borrowing costs

The Company has elected to apply the transitional provisions (paragraph 27.28) of IAS No. 23, “Borrowing costs”, and comply with the principle prospectively from the date of transition to IFRSs.

~60~

  • E. Transfers of assets from customers

  • The Company has elected to apply the transitional provisions (paragraph 22) of IFRIC No. 18, “Transfers of Assets from Customers”, and comply with the principle prospectively from the date of transition to IFRSs.

The optional exemptions mentioned above may change because FSC may issue new rules governing the adoption of IFRSs or other changes in the economic environment may lead to different choices at the transition date.
