Net
Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $149
thousand, or 16%, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the termination of relationship with a key RMC customer Penumbra
in late 2024. OSR Holdings expects revenue to decrease in 2025 and possibly longer until RMC can replace the sales of Penumbra’s
products by increasing other sales or securing additional products from other manufacturers.
Cost
of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by
$78 thousand, or 12%, from the same period in 2024, in line with lower sales volume for RMC, after the termination of its relationship
with Penumbra.
Gross
Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $71 thousand,
or 30%, from the same period in 2024. Gross margin percentage decreased from 26.3% to 22.2%, primarily due to KRW depreciation that led
to higher costs of imported goods for RMC. In the meantime, the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service of Korea (“HIRA”)
will officially increase the reimbursement amount by 2% from April 1, 2025. This is expected to partially offset the impact of unfavorable
KRW exchange rates.
31
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
OSR Holding’s SG&A expenses in the three months ended March 31,
2025, consisted mainly of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, retirement payment, benefits, bonus, and travel. Other
SG&A expenses included amortization of intangible assets, research and development expenses, professional services fees, such as
legal, audit, investor relations and press releases, non-income taxes, insurance costs, and employee recruiting and training costs.
SG&A expenses decreased by 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $623
thousand in amortization expense, resulting from the change in the useful life of certain intangible assets to align with the useful
life of other intangible assets. This benefit was partially offset by an increase in personnel-related expenses.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
OSR Holding’s R&D expenses consisted primarily of development costs
associated with our product candidates in pre-clinical and clinical trials, and related costs of salaries and contractors. R&D costs
are expensed as incurred. OSR Holdings expects to incur and report R&D related expenses mainly from its subsidiaries actively engaged
in R&D at an estimated amount of $2.5 million to $3.0 million per quarter beginning from the middle of 2025, which could
potentially increase to $5.0 million to $6.0 million per quarter.
Operating Loss
Operating loss was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3.3 million in the
same period of 2024. The slight improvement was primarily driven by a reduction in SG&A expenses, largely attributable to lower amortization
expenses following a change in the useful lives of certain intangible assets. This benefit was partially offset by an increase in personnel-related
expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income decreased from $5.5 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2024 to $4.3 thousand in the same period in 2025, a decrease of 22%. Interest expense increased by $2.9 thousand, or 21%, from $13.5 thousand
in the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $16.4 thousand in the same period in 2025, The increase in interest expense was primarily
due to the addition of approximately $2.6 million in short-term corporate bonds, which were not outstanding during the same period of
the prior year. Other income (gains on foreign currency exchange and foreign currency translation) decreased by $0.3 thousand, from $26.8
thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $26.5 thousand for the same period in 2025. Other expenses increased significantly
by $8.4 million, from $71.6 thousand to $8.5 million, primarily due to the one-time recognition of approximately $8.5 million in merger-related
expenses associated with the business combination that closed on February 14, 2025.
Loss Before Income Taxes
Loss before income taxes increased by approximately $8.0 million from
$3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $11.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting the one-time
recognition of $8.5 million in merger-related expenses mentioned above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From inception through March 31, 2025, OSR Holdings has incurred significant operating
losses and negative cash flows from its operations. OSR Holdings’ operating loss was $3.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2024 and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, OSR Holdings had an accumulated deficit
of $30.6 million. OSR Holdings has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of common shares and convertible bonds as
well as from bank loans, loans from affiliates and, to a lesser extent, from RMC product revenue. OSR Holdings had $1.6 million in cash
and cash equivalents on March 31, 2025, which consisted primarily of bank deposits. OSR Holdings has incurred significant expenses
in connection with the business combination and the Form S-4, which, together with other expenses, has reduced its available funds
for operations, resulting in the need for immediate capital raising. In response, in February 2025, OSR Holdings entered into an equity
line of credit agreement with an investor for up to $80 million, through which the Company expects to secure ongoing financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be
considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing
arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating
lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a monthly
fee of $7,500, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on March 1,
2023 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of our initial business combination or our
liquidation.
Chardan is entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $2,070,000.
Also, we have incurred deferred legal fees payable upon consummation of our initial business combination of approximately $1.25 million.
The holders of the founder shares, equity participation shares, placement
units, and units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and in each case holders of their component securities,
as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement. These holders are entitled to make up
to two demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition,
these holders will have “piggyback” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed
by us. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Chardan may not exercise
its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the date of our prospectus
issued in connection with our IPO and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have
not identified any critical accounting estimates.
