Based on the Company's patented hyaluronic acid CHAP platform, the Company will develop four core products: "Plastic and aesthetics," "Elderly care," "surgery," and "urology system." and products of commercial value. In addition to maintaining the leading position in the market in Taiwan, the Company will also make every effort to explore new markets at home and abroad for global deployment.
- (II) Estimated sales volume, basis, and important production and sales policies
9
The Company has distribution contracts signed with customers at home and abroad, and business plans are estimated based on the customers' delivery plans, marketing promotions, and actual production and sales in the past years. The management team sets overall goals and strategies, including specific plans for R&D, production, and sales, and implements and achieves them one by one. III. Future development strategies of the Company
The Company will continue to use the core patented technology of hyaluronic acid CHAP platform and R&D innovation energy to evolve into the next generation technology and service scope, and also to combine the rich experience in manufacturing and quality assurance management to provide customers with more niche products and additional services. To enhance the depth and breadth of cooperation.
IV. Impacts of the competitive environment, the regulatory environment, and the overall business environment
In order to strengthen the competitiveness, we continue to invest resources in R&D and innovation, and through strategic alliances and cooperation, to strengthen the capacity of technology, products, production and services, and deploy global operations. The price of National Health Insurance (NHI) medicine has been declining year by year and profits are decreasing, which restricts the market growth. Therefore, all biotech companies focus on the international market and strive to obtain international certification from the health authorities of advanced countries in order to enter the international market. Among them, the new European medical equipment regulation (MDR) and the stricter regulations on the management of medical equipment will accelerate the elimination of weak and retained strong ones in the medical material industry in various countries. The Company has a team of experienced registrars who are able to respond to changes in regulations to minimize impacts from changes in the legal environment. The overall environment of the biotech industry is changing. In the future, the population will change towards an aging and concentrated population. In terms of medical treatment, various diseases related to the advanced age will increase and the burden of medical expenditure will increase day by day. In the pursuit of higher quality medical care, It will be the longterm development trend that the expenditure as a percentage of GDP will increase.
Sincerely, Good health and good luck
Chairman: Han, Kai-Cheng Manager: Han, Tai-Xian

CPA’S AUDIT REPORT
To SciVision Biotech Inc.,
Audit Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of SciVision Biotech Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Audit Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters identified in the audit of the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
I. Valuation of inventories
As of December 31, 2022, the net amount of inventories related to the Company was NT$95,868 thousand, which is significant to the Company. Given high threshold for biotech and its position in regulations and patents, there are no concerns about a significant decline in value. However, products with a limited shelf life may be slow-moving, expired and therefore unsalable. As the provision for slow-moving or obsolete stocks requires management's significant judgment, we identified it as a key audit matter. Our audit procedures performed in respect of the key audit
17
matter include, without limitation, understanding and testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system for inventories established by management, including carry-over of inventory costs and evaluation of the inventory status; evaluating the stocktaking plan made by management, selecting major inventories locations and observing inventory counting to determine the quantity and status of inventories, test the correctness of the inventory age and analyze any change in the inventory age and consider the expected demand and market value of inventories, and determining management's analysis and evaluation of slow-moving or obsolete stocks, including the possibility of realizing inventories and estimation of the net realizable value, and testing whether the provision for writing down the value of inventories to the net realizable value is appropriate.
We have also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure of inventories in Notes (5) and (6) to the accompanying financial statements.
II. Revenue Recognition
The Company mainly specializes in the research, development, manufacturing and sales of applied products such as hyaluronic acid, and its sales revenue, greatly affected by regulations, is the main indicator for evaluating the Company's financial or business performance. Given the significant risk in sales revenue recognition as to whether the presented amount is correct, we identified it as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the key audit matter include, without limitation, understanding and testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system for the sales and collection cycle; spot-checking transaction documents containing sales revenue such as contracts, POs and shipping orders, verifying material clauses in POs or contracts, identifying the performance obligations of contracts or POs, price allocation and confirm the timing of satisfaction, so as to determine the correctness of the timing of transaction recognition; selecting the samples of sales transactions for a specific period before and after the balance sheet date and checking relevant documents to confirm that revenue has been properly cut off; and conducting analytical procedures for products to determine whether there are significant anomalies.
We have also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure of revenue in Note (6) to the accompanying financial statements.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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.
18
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
-
II. 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.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
IV. 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 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.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities
19
or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 VI
CPA’S AUDIT REPORT
To SciVision Biotech Inc.,
Audit Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SciVision Biotech Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Audit Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted 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 Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters identified in the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
I. Valuation of inventories
As of December 31, 2022, the net amount of inventories related to the Group was NT$95,868 thousand, which is significant to the Group. Given high threshold for biotech and its position in regulations and patents, there are no concerns about a significant decline in value. However, products with a limited shelf life may be slow-moving, expired and therefore unsalable. As the provision for slowmoving or obsolete stocks requires management's significant judgment, we identified it as a key audit matter.
25
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the key audit matter include, without limitation, understanding and testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system for inventories established by management, including carry-over of inventory costs and evaluation of the inventory status; evaluating the stocktaking plan made by management, selecting major inventories locations and observing inventory counting to determine the quantity and status of inventories, test the correctness of the inventory age and analyze any change in the inventory age and consider the expected demand and market value of inventories, and determining management's analysis and evaluation of slow-moving or obsolete stocks, including the possibility of realizing inventories and estimation of the net realizable value, and testing whether the provision for writing down the value of inventories to the net realizable value is appropriate.
We have also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure of inventories in Notes (V) and (VI) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.2. Revenue Recognition
The Group mainly specializes in the research, development, manufacturing and sales of applied products such as hyaluronic acid, and its sales revenue, greatly affected by regulations, is the main indicator for evaluating the Group's financial or business performance. Given the significant risk in sales revenue recognition as to whether the presented amount is correct, we identified it as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the key audit matter include, without limitation, understanding and testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system for the sales and collection cycle; spot-checking transaction documents containing sales revenue such as contracts, POs and shipping orders, verifying material clauses in POs or contracts, identifying the performance obligations of contracts or POs, price allocation and confirm the timing of satisfaction, so as to determine the correctness of the timing of transaction recognition; selecting the samples of sales transactions for a specific period before and after the balance sheet date and checking relevant documents to confirm that revenue has been properly cut off; and conducting analytical procedures for products to determine whether there are significant anomalies.
We have also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure of revenue in Note (6) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
26
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted 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 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
I. 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.
-
II. 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.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
IV. 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.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 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 Group for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.
OTHERS
We have also audited the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
