Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
ITEM
8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Scienture Holdings, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Scienture Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years
then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the each of the years ended then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Emphasis
of a matter – Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Business
combination - Fair value of acquired intangible assets
Description
of the matter
As
discussed in Note 1 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 25, 2024, the Company acquired Scienture, Inc. in a
transaction accounted for as a business combination. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized acquired technology associated
with the generation of future income. The acquisition-date fair value of the acquired technology was $76.4 million.
We
identified the determination of the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets as a critical audit matter. The Company’s
estimation of the acquisition date fair values of certain identifiable intangible assets is complex, requires management’s judgment
and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including selection of the appropriate valuation methodology, revenue
growth rates, forecasted expenses, royalty rates, and discount rates. Auditing these elements involved especially challenging and subjective
auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized
skill or knowledge needed.
How
We Addressed the Matter in our Audit
The
following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter:
● Assessing
the reasonableness of projected revenue growth rates and forecasted expenses through: (i)
evaluating historical performance of the acquired entity, and (ii) assessing financial projections
against market trends, industry metrics and peer-group/guideline companies.
● Utilizing
personnel with specialized knowledge and skill with valuation to assist in: (i) assessing
the reasonableness of royalty rates and discount rates incorporated into the various valuation
models, and (ii) assessing the appropriateness of various valuation models utilized by management
to determine the fair values of the intangible assets.

Note 3 for further detail on the dispositions.
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Scienture LLC, TRxADE Health, Inc., Softell, Integra Pharma
Solutions, Inc., and Bonum Health. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the SEC. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses in the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various
other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from its estimates. To the extent there are material
differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates for the years
ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 include the valuation of intangible assets, including goodwill, valuation of derivative liabilities
and gain (losses) on dispositions.
91
Table of Contents
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Certain
assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be
received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are
to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered
observable and the last is considered unobservable:
●
Level
1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●
Level
2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities,
quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data.
●
Level
3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value
of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
The
carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities approximate their
fair value because of their short-term maturity. The Company’s notes payables approximate the fair value of such instruments as
the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
The
Company’s derivative liability is a Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 10.
Stock
Split
Effective
June 21, 2023, the Company executed a 1:15 reverse stock split for stockholders of record on that date . This was executed to comply with
the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) to have the price of the stock above $ 1.00 .
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures . The new guidance requires enhanced disclosure of significant expenses that are regularly reported
to the chief operating decision maker and the nature of segment expense information used to manage operations. The new guidance is effective
for all public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) : Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The new guidance
requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a quantitative
threshold. The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for
non-public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted for both. The Company
will adopt the new standard in annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2025, and is currently evaluating the impacts of
the new guidance on its disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.

Concentration
of Credit Risks and Major Customers
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The
Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. Deposits are insured to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp limits.
During years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no sales to customers represented greater than 10 % of revenue.
Accounts
Receivable, net
On
January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments” and its related amendments using the prospective method. The new standard requires the use
of a current expected credit loss impairment model to develop and recognize credit losses for financial instruments at amortized cost
when the asset is first originated or acquired, and each subsequent reporting period.
The
Company’s receivables are from customers and are typically collected within 90 days. The Company determines the allowance based
on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.
Other
Receivables
As
of December 31, 2024 and 2023, other receivables are $ 4,138,770 and $ 1,224,702 . As of December 31, 2024, other receivables primarily
consist of short-term advances to related parties including Wellgistics Health, Inc. (f/k/a Danam Health Inc.) and Tollo Health, Inc.
Deferred
Offering Costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering
costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional
paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has $ 534,800 and $ 0 , respectively, capitalized deferred offering costs. See Note
11.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded
at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations.
For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes pricing model to value the derivative
instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Acquisitions
The
Company accounts for acquisitions and investments in businesses as business combinations if the target meets the definition of a business
and (a) the target is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company is the target’s primary beneficiary, and therefore
the Company must consolidate its financial statements, or (b) the Company acquires more than 50% of the voting interest of the target
and it was not previously consolidated. The Company records business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires
all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price
over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
93
Table of Contents
The
application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions
in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate purchase price consideration
between assets that are depreciated and amortized from goodwill. The fair value assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including
valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Significant assumptions and estimates include, but are not limited
to, the cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital, and the cost
savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset, if applicable.
If
the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the Company’s financial
statements may be exposed to potential impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill.
If
the Company’s investment involves the acquisition of an asset or group of assets that does not meet the definition of a business,
the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is recorded at cost, which includes capitalizing transaction
costs, and does not result in the recognition of goodwill.
On
July 25, 2024, the Company acquired intangible assets of $ 76,400,000 and recognized goodwill of $ 21,372,960 pursuant to the Scienture
acquisition (see Note 3). The acquired goodwill represents the value in excess of the net assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition
date.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is an asset representing the excess cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. In accordance with
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or on an interim basis
when indicators of potential impairment exist. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting
units discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results. For purposes of impairment
testing, goodwill is allocated to the applicable reporting units based on the reporting structure.
The
Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors assessed for each of the applicable reporting units include, but are not limited
to, changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, discount rates, competitive environments and
financial performance of the reporting units. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying
value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required.
The
Company also has the option to proceed directly to the quantitative test. Under the quantitative impairment test, the estimated fair
value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit including
goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to the excess would be recognized, up to a maximum amount of goodwill allocated
to that reporting unit. Management can resume the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period for any reporting unit.
As
of December 31, 2024, management performed a qualitative impairment assessment of our reporting units, of which there were no indications
that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units were less than their respective carrying values. As such,
a quantitative goodwill test was not required, and no goodwill impairment was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Intangible
Assets
In
connection with the Scienture acquisition, the Company identified product technologies assets. The product technologies represent a broad
range of novel product candidates including new potential treatments for hypertension, migraine, pain and thrombosis and other related
disorders. Each of the product technologies are in various phases of development and had not achieved regulatory approval as of the valuation
date.
94
Table of Contents
The
product technologies are 505(b)(2) products and represent modifications and new delivery methods of already approved drugs (rather than
novel drug compounds/formulations/treatments which require significant regulatory approvals and testing). These assets should be
amortized over their expected remaining economic life. The product technology assets will remain unamortized, subject to potential
impairment testing, until the assets are placed in service, which is when commercialization of the product commences. At that point,
the assets will be amortized over their expected remaining life (likely a period of 15 - 20 years based on the patent lives).
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be
recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by
determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total
of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess
of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
the fair value less costs to sell.
The
Company did not record an impairment charge for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Investments
The
Company accounts for investments that it does not control using the cost method, equity method or fair value method, as applicable. Investments
in companies in which the Company owns less than a 20% equity interest and where it does not exercise significant influence over the
operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The Company periodically reviews
the carrying value of these investments to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below carrying value.
A variety of factors are considered when determining if a decline in fair value below carrying value is other-than-temporary, including,
among others, the financial condition and business prospects of the investee, as well as the Company’s investment intent. Cost
method investments are carried at cost, which approximates or is less than fair value. Dividends received by the Company are recognized
in equity (losses) earnings of affiliates, net of tax on the consolidated statements of operations.
On
February 29, 2024, Softell entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Lafayette Energy Corp.,
a Delaware corporation (“Lafayette”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Softell will, in two equal tranches, invest
a total of up to $ 5,000,000 in Lafayette in exchange for up to 2,000,000 shares of Lafayette’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
with the second tranche becoming payable only upon Softell’s receipt of notice that Lafayette has successfully drilled its first
oil and gas well and produced at least one hundred (100) barrels of oil.
As
of December 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the financial condition and business prospects of Lafayette, and determined there was an
other-than-temporary decline in fair value below carrying value. As such, the Company recognized an impairment of $ 2,500,000 .
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”.
ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including
stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee
is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock option forfeitures are recognized at the
date of employee termination. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 for the accounting of share-based payments granted
to non-employees for goods and services.
95
Table of Contents
Leases
The
Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified
as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability,
calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental
borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized
over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line
rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset
results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.
In
calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company
excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes
rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Research
& Development Expenses
Research
and development costs are expensed in the period incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development. These expenses consist
of independent contractor costs, costs for outsourced analytical research and development activities, batch manufacturing cost and, advisory
costs as a part of research, market research costs and other regulatory consulting costs.
Income
(loss) Per Common Share
Basic
net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed similar to basic net income per common share except that the denominator
is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been
issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The dilutive effect of the Company’s options and warrants is computed
using the treasury stock method. As of December 31, 2024, we had 238,594 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, 15,759 shares of
Series B preferred stock and 23,930 options to purchase shares of common stock, all outstanding

Income
taxes
The
Company’s benefit / (provision) for income taxes was $ 534,396 and $ 0 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The income tax provisions for these periods are based upon estimates of annual income (loss), annual permanent differences and statutory
tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. For all periods presented, the Company utilized net operating loss
carryforwards to offset the impact of any taxable income. The Company’s tax rate differs from the applicable statutory rates due
primarily to the establishment of a valuation allowance, utilization of deferred and the effect of permanent differences and adjustments.
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated
financial statements are issued. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation
of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered
in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial
statements are issued.
As
of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 39,038,973 and $ 308,096 in cash.
We
will need to raise additional capital or secure debt funding to support on-going operations, and to fund the assets and operations of
any businesses or assets we acquire. The sources of this capital are expected to be the sale of equity and debt, which may not be available
on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional
capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues, our financial position, and liquidity. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unless management is able to obtain
additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE
3 – ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisitions
Scienture,
Inc.
The
Company evaluated the Scienture Merger Agreement pursuant to ASC 805 and ASU 2017-01, Topic 805, Business Combinations . The Company
first determined that Scienture met the definition of a business as it includes inputs and a substantive process that together significantly
contribute to the ability to create outputs. Scienture’s results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at their estimated respective fair values as of the closing date
of the acquisition. Goodwill recognized in connection with this transaction represents primarily the potential economic benefits that
the Company believes may arise from the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and could be significantly revised
as a result of additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed and revisions of estimates of fair values
of tangible assets and related deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company will finalize its valuation and the allocation of the
purchase price, along with required retrospective adjustments, if any, within a year following the acquisition date.
On
July 25, 2024, the Company issued 291,536 shares of common stock and 6,826,753 shares of Series X Preferred Stock pursuant to the Scienture
Merger Agreement. The aggregate fair value of the purchase price consideration was $ 78,646,184 . The fair value was determined by the
underlying stock price of the common stock on the date of the Scienture Merger, which was $ 11.63 per share, which was utilized for both
the issuance of common and preferred stock after evaluating the terms of the Series X Preferred Stock. The Company also applied a discount
for lack of marketability of 5% due to certain lock-up terms on the shares issued.

Superlatus,
Inc.
On
July 31, 2023, the Company entered into the Superlatus Merger Agreement (see Note 1) with Superlatus whereby the Company acquired 100 %
of the stock of Superlatus in the Superlatus Merger. Superlatus includes a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sapientia. Consideration for the
Superlatus Merger consisted of (i) 136,441 shares of the Company’s common stock at a fair value of $ 7.30 per share and (ii) 306,855
shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 100 shares of common stock. The total
fair value of the common stock and Series B Preferred Stock on the closing date was $ 225,000,169 (the “Purchase Price”).
On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into the Superlatus Amendment. Under the terms of the Superlatus Amendment, the merger consideration
to the shareholders of Superlatus was adjusted to an aggregate of 136,441 shares of the Company’s common stock and 15,759 shares
of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The total fair value of the common stock and Series B Preferred Stock on the closing
date was adjusted to $ 12,500,089 (the “Amended Purchase Price”). Additionally, the shareholders of Superlatus agreed to surrender
back to the Company 289,731 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock received before the Superlatus Amendment.

The
acquisition of Superlatus was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 805. As
the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company had estimated the Purchase Price, assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the
acquisition date, with the excess of the Purchase Price over the fair value of net assets acquired recognized as goodwill. An independent
valuation expert assisted the Company in determining these fair values.
The
Amended Purchase Price allocation as of the acquisition date is presented as follows:

Alliance
Pharma Solutions, LLC and Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC
On
August 22, 2023, the Company and Wood Sage, LLC (“Wood Sage”) entered into (i) a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the
“APS MIPA”), pursuant to which the Company sold its 100 % membership interest in Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC (“APS”)
for consideration of a $ 125,000 promissory note (the “APS Sale Price”) and (ii) a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
(the “CSP MIPA”), pursuant to which the Company sold 100 % of the membership interest in Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC
(“CSP”) in exchange for a $ 100,000 promissory note (the “CSP Sale Price”). As a result, the results of APS and
CSP were classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and excluded from both continuing operations
and segment results for the year ended December 31, 2023.
As
part of recognizing the business as held for sale in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company was required to measure APS and CSP at the
lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As a result of this analysis, during the year ended December 31, 2023,
the Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax loss on disposal of $ 3,300,225 . The loss is included in “Net loss from discontinued
operations” in the consolidated statements of operations. The loss was determined by comparing the fair value of the consideration
received for the sale of a 100% interest in APS and CSP with the net assets of APS and CSP, respectively, immediately prior to the transaction.
As
a result of the transactions, the following assets and liabilities of APS and CSP were transferred to Wood Sage as of August 22, 2023:

The purchase price paid at closing was $ 22,660,182 . Subject to the terms and conditions of the MMS APA, because MMS received $ 1,600,000

technologies, and were valued accordingly by each product candidate:

(d)
Management
expects SCN-107 to achieve regulatory approval in 2028 or 2029, with product commercialization projected to begin in 2029.
The
fair value of the product technologies was determined by the Income Approach: Multi-Period Excess Earnings Methods (“MPEEM”).
The MPEEM measures economic benefits by calculating the cash flows attributable to an asset after deducting appropriate returns for contributory
assets used by the business in generating the asset’s revenue and earnings. The MPEEM utilized revenue and cash flow projections
through 2030 based on each product candidate’s phase of development. Key assumptions include a 2% long-term revenue growth rate
and 3% contributory asset charge rate. The Company discounted the expected future cash flows at a 53.0% rate of return, equal to the
weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) plus 10%, to reflect the risk of the cash flows related to the product technologies.
The Company then summed the present values of the estimated future cash flows and included an amortization tax benefit to the value indication
of each of the product technologies.
As
of December 31, 2024, the Company has not begun amortizing any of the product technology intangible assets.

Company $ 1,200,000 to purchase $ 1,728,000 of future receivables. The Company also paid $ 60,000 as a one-time origination fee in connection
with the October Receivables Agreement. This agreement was fully paid off in February 2024.
The
Company’s relationship with the funding source meets the criteria in ASC 470-10-25 – Sales of Future Revenues or Various
Other Measures of Income (“ASC 470”), which relates to cash received from a funding source in exchange for a specified percentage
or amount of revenue or other measure of income of a particular product line, business segment, trademark, patent or contractual right
for a defined period. Under this guidance, the Company recognized the fair value of its contingent obligation to the funding source,
as of the acquisition date, as a current liability in its consolidated balance sheet.
Under
ASC 470, amounts recorded as debt are to be amortized under the interest method. The Company made an accounting policy election to utilize
the prospective method when there is a change in the estimated future cash flows, whereby a new effective interest rate is determined
based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised
estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize interest expense for the remaining
period. Under this method, the effective interest rate is not constant, and any change in expected cash flows is recognized prospectively
as an adjustment to the effective yield. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the total contingent funding liability was
$ 0 and $ 1,246,346 respectively, and the effective interest rate was approximately 0 % and 31 %, respectively. This rate represents the
discount rate that equates the estimated future cash flows with the fair value of the debt and is used to compute the amount of interest
to be recognized each period. Any future payments made to the funding source will decrease the contingent funding liability balance accordingly.

Convertible
Debenture – Arena
On
November 22, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Arena Finance Markets, LP (“Arena Finance”),
Arena Special Opportunities Partners III, LP (“ASOP” and, together with Arena Finance, the “Arena Investors”).
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue 10 % original issue discount secured convertible debentures (“Debentures”)
in a principal amount of up to $ 12,222,222 , divided into up to three separate tranches that are each subject to certain closing conditions.
The conversion price per share of each Debenture is equal to 92.5 % of the lowest daily VWAP (as defined in the Debentures) of the Company’s
shares of common stock during the five trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to delivery or deemed delivery
of the applicable conversion notice, subject to adjustments related to the trading price of the Company’s common stock.
The
closing of the first tranche was consummated on November 25, 2024 (the “First Closing”) and the Company issued to the Arena
Investors Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $ 3,333,333 (the “First Closing Debentures”). The First Closing Debentures
were sold to the Arena Investors for a purchase price of $ 3,000,000 , representing an original issue discount of ten percent ( 10 %). The
convertible debenture will be matured eighteen months from the date first closing.

Table of Contents
The
First Closing Debentures contain customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, until it is cured, the holder may increase
the interest rate applicable to the First Closing Debentures to two percent ( 2 %) per annum and accelerate the full indebtedness under
the First Closing Debentures, in an amount equal to 125 % of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest. Subject
to limited exceptions set forth in the First Closing Debentures, the First Closing Debentures prohibit the Company and, as applicable,
its subsidiaries from incurring any new indebtedness that is not subordinated to the Arena Investors and, as applicable, any subsidiary’s
obligations in respect of the First Closing Debentures until the First Closing Debentures are paid in full.
As
consideration for the Arena Investors’ consummation of the First Closing, concurrently with the First Closing, the Company issued
to each Arena Investor participating in the First Closing its pro rata portion of the 55,000 shares of common stock (the “SPA Commitment
Fee Shares”) issued to the Arena Investors as a commitment fee upon the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Furthermore,
as consideration for the Arena Investors’ consummation of subsequent closings, the Company shall issue to the Arena Investors participating
in such closing a certain number of Company common stock as agreed upon among the Company and the Arena Investors participating. The
fair value of the shares of common stock issued was $ 420,200 , which was included as a debt discount as noted below.
The
Company agreed, pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated November 25, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”), to grant the Arena
Investors a security interest in all of its assets to secure the prompt payment, performance, and discharge in full of all of the Company’s
obligations under the Debentures. In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Scienture, LLC, entered into a Guarantee
Agreement, dated November 25, 2024 (the “Guarantee”), with the Arena Investors, pursuant to which it agreed to guarantee
the prompt payment,
Interest
shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture at a rate equal to 10.00 % per annum paid in kind (the “PIK Interest”)
unless there is an Event of Default, in which case Default Interest shall accrue and be paid instead of PIK Interest. The PIK Interest
shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture on a monthly basis as additional principal obligations hereunder
and shall automatically and thereafter constitute a part of the outstanding principal amount for all purposes hereof (including the accrual
of interest thereon at the rates applicable to the principal amount generally). The Company will not issue additional debentures to represent
the PIK Interest. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall
accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made.
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company accrued $ 33,333 in interest expense pertaining to the Arena debentures.
As
a result of the debentures, the Company recognized an aggregate debt discount of $ 3,333,333 .
Through December 31, 2024, $ 869,692
of the debt discount was amortized to interest expense. At December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the debentures, including
the outstanding principal of $ 3,333,333 less
the unamortized discount of $ 2,721,058 ,
was $ 612,275 .

Derivative
Liability
The
Company evaluated the terms of the conversion features of the debentures as noted above in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives
and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock, and determined they are not indexed to the Company’s common stock and
that the conversion feature, which is akin to a redemption feature, meet the definition of a liability. The notes contain an indeterminate
number of shares to settle with conversion options outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company bifurcated the conversion
feature and accounted for it as a separate derivative liability. Upon issuance of the convertible debenture, the Company recognized a
derivative liability at a fair value of $ 2,477,217 , which is recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized over the life of the debentures.
The
Company measured the derivative liability at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causes it to
be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the derivative liability uses assumptions
and estimates the Company believes would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation. The Company assesses these assumptions
and estimates on an on-going basis as additional data impacting the assumptions and estimates are obtained. Changes in
the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to updated assumptions and estimates are recognized within the statements
of operations.
The
Company valued the derivative liability using a Black-Scholes method using following assumptions:

Rate (as defined in the NVK Loan Agreement) plus 7 percent and the prime rates are adjusted quarterly. As of December 31, 2024, the interest
rate was 15.50 %. The debt is collateralized by all of Scienture’s receivables, cash and cash equivalents and its right, title and
interest in, to and under its Intellectual Property (as defined in the NVK Loan Agreement) and all proceeds thereof. The principal is
entirely repayable on the maturity date in September 2025 and interest shall be paid monthly following a Qualified Financing (as defined
in the NVK Loan Agreement). The NVK debt is convertible into common stock of Scienture at a fully-diluted Scienture valuation of $ 60,000,000 .
