Net Sales, Cost of Sales, Gross Profit
OSR Holdings’ net sales, cost of sales, and gross profit are
primarily derived from RMC, its subsidiary engaged in the distribution of medical devices.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, RMC’s net sales decreased by $195,249, or 24%, compared to the same period in the
prior year. However, cost of sales decreased by $277,889, or 43%, resulting in an increase in gross profit of $82,641, or 46%.
This improvement in profitability was driven by a change in RMC’s contractual arrangement with one of its major suppliers. Specifically,
RMC transitioned from a traditional purchase-and-resale model to a consignment-based arrangement under which only commission revenue
is recognized. Although the new contract was executed in April, the change began to affect revenue recognition starting in July. Management
expects this consignment-based model to enhance gross-margin stability in future periods.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, RMC’s net sales
decreased by $90,515, or 3%, while cost of sales increased by $97,500, or 5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. As a result,
gross profit decreased by $188,014, or 29%. The decline in gross profit for the nine-month period was primarily due to the impact of the
second quarter, during which RMC sold previously held inventory back to the supplier at cost as part of the transition to the new consignment-based
model. This transaction temporarily depressed gross margin in the second quarter, offsetting the margin improvement realized in the third
quarter. The margin decline in the second quarter was a one-time event.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, OSR Holdings’
selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $319,564, or 9%, compared to the same period in the prior year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, OSR Holdings’ selling,
general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $1,683,277, or 16%, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Following the completion of the Business Combination on February 14,
2025, various costs associated with fulfilling public company obligations began to rise. The increase was primarily attributable to higher
personnel-related expenses, including salaries, severance payments, employee benefits, bonuses, and travel costs. Additional SG&A
expenses included amortization of intangible assets, research and development expenses, and professional service fees such as legal, audit,
investor relations, and press release costs, as well as non-income taxes, insurance premiums, and employee recruiting and training expenses.
The most significant drivers of the increase were personnel-related costs and professional service fees.
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 in 2026, which could potentially
increase to $5.0 million to $6.0 million per quarter.
Operating Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, OSR Holdings’
operating loss increased by $236,923, or 7%, compared to the same period in the prior year.
On a year-to-date basis, operating loss increased by $1,871,291, or 19%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
As discussed in the section titled “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses,” this increase was primarily due to the
rise in SG&A expenses beginning in the second quarter of 2025 following the completion of the Business Combination on February 14,
2025.
Other Income (Expense)
OSR Holdings’ other income (expense) consists of interest income,
interest expense, foreign exchange-related gains and losses, and other non-operating items.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded net other expenses of $686,361, representing an increase of $756,809
compared to the same period in the prior year. The primary drivers of this increase were the loss on change in fair value of financial
liabilities and higher interest expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net other expenses increased
significantly to $9,157,369 from $23,392 in the prior-year period, an increase of $9,133,977. This substantial increase was primarily
due to the one-time recognition of approximately $8.5 million in merger-related expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination
completed on February 14, 2025.
29
Loss Before Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, OSR Holdings’
loss before income taxes increased by $993,732, or 28%, compared to the same period in the prior year. As previously discussed, this increase
was primarily attributable to higher expenses incurred following the completion of the Business Combination on February 14, 2025.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, loss before income taxes
increased by $11,005,268, or 109%, compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the one-time recognition
of approximately $8.5 million in merger-related expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination completed on February 14,
2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since its inception through September 30, 2025, OSR Holdings has incurred
significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company recorded an operating loss of approximately
$10.08 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and approximately $11.95 million for the same period in 2025. As of September
30, 2025, OSR Holdings had an accumulated deficit of approximately $32.33 million.
To date, OSR Holdings has funded its operations primarily through the
issuance of common stock and convertible bonds, bank borrowings, loans from affiliates, and, to a lesser extent, product revenue generated
by its subsidiary, RMC. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.18 million, consisting
primarily of bank deposits.
The Company incurred significant expenses in connection with the business
combination and the filing of its Form S-4 registration statement, which, together with other general expenses, reduced the funds available
for operations and created an urgent need for additional capital. In response, in February 2025, OSR Holdings entered into an equity line
of credit (“ELOC”) agreement with an investor, providing for up to $80 million in potential capital. As of September 30, 2025,
the Company had issued a total of 767,500 shares under the ELOC, raising gross proceeds of $741,937. In addition, the Company has executed
or is exploring various financing initiatives through the issuance of warrants and notes.
OSR Holdings expects to continue utilizing the ELOC and other available
financing instruments to secure additional capital for its ongoing operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 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
Bellevue Capital Management, LLC (“BCM”) 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 they continue following the consummation of our business combination
in February 2025.
Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”)
is entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $2,070,000, payable as of September 30, 2025. In addition, we incurred deferred legal
fees of approximately $1.25 million that were payable upon consummation of our initial business combination.
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.
