Company
Overview
On July 25, 2024, we acquired
a wholly-owned subsidiary, Scienture, which is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for
the treatment of central nervous system and cardiovascular diseases. Scienture LLC is developing a broad range of novel product candidates
including new potential treatments for hypertension, migraine, pain and thrombosis and other related disorders. Scienture’s assets
in development are across therapeutics areas and indications and cater to different market segments. Scienture’s mission is to identify,
develop and bring to market innovative technology-based products to address unmet medical needs. Its targeted portfolio consists of short
term and long-term opportunities with efficient development, regulatory, and go to market strategies.
After our acquisition of Scienture,
we existed as a holding company owning all equity interests of Softell Inc. (f/k/a Trxade Inc.) (“ Softell ”),
Integra Pharma Solutions, LLC d.b.a. Trxade Prime (“ IPS ”), Bonum Health, LLC, Bonum Health Inc., and Scienture.
On October 4, 2024, the Company
and Softell entered into IPS Assignment Agreement, pursuant to which the Company transferred, and Softell accepted, 100% of the membership
interests of IPS. As a result, IPS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Softell. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and a portion
of the quarter ended March 31, 2024, Softell, operated a web-based market platform that enabled commerce among healthcare buyers and sellers
of pharmaceuticals, accessories and services. Softell’s current primary operations are conducted through IPS. IPS is a licensed
pharmaceutical wholesaler and sells brand, generic and non-drug products to customers. IPS’ customers include all healthcare markets
including government organizations, hospitals, clinics and independent pharmacies nationwide.
On September 20, 2024, the
Company fil changed its legal name from “TRxADE HEALTH, Inc.” to “Scienture Holdings, Inc.”

Bonum
Health, LLC was formed to hold certain telehealth assets acquired in October 2019. The “Bonum Health Hub” was launched
in February 2020; however, the Company does not anticipate installations moving forward. On April 30, 2025, the Company completed
the sale of Bonum Health, Inc. and Bonum Health, LLC.
Disposition
of Legacy Subsidiaries
On April 8, 2025, the Company
entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “ IPS MIPA ”) with Tollo Health, LLC (“ Tollo ”),
pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all of the Company’s membership interests in IPS.
On April 8, 2025, the Company
also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “ Bonum and Softell SPA ” and together with the IPS MIPA, the
“ Agreements ”) with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all issued
and outstanding shares of common stock of Bonum Health, Inc. and Softell. Suren Ajjarapu, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer,
and Prashant Patel, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer, each had a beneficial interest in Tollo at the time
the Company entered into the each of the Agreements.
In connection with each of
the Agreements, the Company agreed to retain certain excluded liabilities of IPS, Softell and Bonum Health, Inc. including all liabilities:
(i) related to, in connection with or arising out of any claims, charges, complaints, actions, suits, settlements, hearings, investigations,
proceedings, or governmental or regulatory inquiries with respect to IPS, Softell or Bonum Health, Inc., respectively, prior to the closing
under the applicable Agreement; (ii) related to, in connection with or arising out of any breach by the Company of the applicable Agreement
or any other agreements and documents required to be delivered by the Company; (iii) not disclosed by the Company in accordance with
each Agreement; (iv) related to any actions threatened or initiated by a governmental entity against IPS, Softell, or Bonum Health, Inc.,
respectively; and (v) related to tax returns or tax matters of the Company, IPS, Softell, or Bonum Health, Inc., respectively, for any
periods prior to closing under the applicable Agreement.
The Company and Tollo consummated
the closing of each of the Agreements on April 30, 2025. As consideration for acquiring IPS, Softell, and Bonum Health, Inc., Tollo agreed
to pay the Company $5 million, with that consideration delivered in the form of a promissory note bearing interest at the prime rate.
The promissory note matures on June 30, 2030. However, Tollo is required to pay 20% of the proceeds of a future equity financing toward
repayment of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest owed under the promissory note. On June 24, 2025, the promissory note was assigned
to Integral Health, Inc., which (at the time of the assignment) was owned by Suren Ajjarapu, the Company’s former Chief Executive
Officer, and Prashant Patel, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer.
The divestitures are part
of a broader strategic realignment at the Company designed to sharpen operational focus and unlock long-term value. It is aligned with
the Company’s commitment to streamline its core operations, optimize its portfolio, and accelerate growth in the Branded and Specialty
Pharma markets. The Company intends to use the proceeds obtained from the divestment to facilitate the high-growth commercial and strategic
product development activities at its Scienture subsidiary.
The
Company believes that the key benefits of the divestitures include:
●
Increased
Operational Efficiency : Streamlining the Company’s structure aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, providing
for leaner operations and a more agile decision-making framework.
●
Realize
Synergies : Consolidating overlapping functions and eliminating redundancies intended to cause annualized cost savings.
●
Dedicated
Focus : Affording the full focus and deployment of resources to the commercial products and the high value product pipeline
in development at its Scienture subsidiary.
Existing Business
Subsequent
to the disposition of IPS, Softell, and Bonum Health, Inc. we now exist as a holding company for existing and planned pharmaceutical operating
companies focused on providing enhanced value to patients, physicians and caregivers through developing, bringing to market, and distributing
novel specialty pharmaceutical products to satisfy unmet market needs. We are in the process of winding down our Bonum Health, LLC subsidiary.
Operating since 2019, Scienture,
located in Commack, New York, is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused providing enhanced value to patients, physicians and caregivers
by offering novel specialty products to satisfy unmet market needs. In this regard, Scienture is in the process of developing and commercializing
products for the treatment of central nervous system (“ CNS ”) and cardiovascular (“ CVS ”)
diseases as well as a broad range of novel product candidates including new potential treatments for hypertension, migraine, pain and
thrombosis and other related disorders.
24
Table of Contents
Scienture’s vision is
to be a leader in the industry by developing and commercializing new medicines for the treatment of CNS and CVS diseases and across other
therapeutic areas. Key elements of Scienture’s strategy to achieve this vision include:
●
Advance product candidates
through clinical studies and toward commercialization. Scienture is in various stages of clinical development for the product
candidates in its pipeline, and it intends to move these programs efficiently toward being commercially available to patients, subject
to approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “ FDA ”).
●
Drive growth and profitability. Using dedicated sales and marketing
resources in the U.S., which Scienture is in the process of building, Scienture will seek to begin to generate revenues and then drive
the revenue growth of its product candidates approved for marketing by the FDA.
●
Continue to grow pipeline. Scienture will continue to evaluate and
seek to develop additional product candidates that it believes have significant commercial potential through Scienture’s internal
research and development efforts.
●
Target strategic business development opportunities. Scienture is exploring
a broad range of strategic opportunities. This may include in-licensing products and entering into co-promotion and co-development partnerships
for Scienture’s product candidates, although no agreements have been reached.
Scienture currently has four
primary product candidates in its development pipeline, summarized below, and is engaged in a variety of research and development efforts
to develop novel product candidates for the treatment of various disease conditions. To date, Scienture has not generated revenue from
product sales and will not generate such revenues until it successfully obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes, its product
candidates. The progress of Scienture products its development pipeline to date is represented by the green bars shown below.
25
Table of Contents
Scienture has devoted and
will continue to devote significant resources to research and development activities, and expects to incur significant expenses as Scienture
continues advancing its product candidates towards FDA approval and expanding product indications for approved products and its intellectual
property portfolio. Scienture’s expectations regarding its research and development programs are subject to risks, including the
risk that Scienture’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by delays and failures
in the completion of clinical development of its product candidates, which could increase its costs or delay or limit our ability to generate
revenues.
Scienture
currently depends on third-party commercial manufacturing organizations (“ CMOs ”) for its manufacturing
operations, including the production of raw materials, finished dosage form product, and product packaging for both its planned product
commercialization and for use in its preclinical and clinical research. Scienture does not own or operate manufacturing facilities for
the production of any of its product candidates nor does Scienture have plans to develop its own manufacturing operations in the foreseeable
future to support clinical trials or commercial production. Scienture currently employs internal resources to manage its manufacturing
contractors.
Scienture is in discussion
with CMOs headquartered in North America, Europe and Asia for its pipeline product candidates. These CMOs offer a comprehensive range
of commercial contract manufacturing and packaging services.
If Scienture fails to produce
its products and product candidates in the volumes that it requires on a timely basis, or fails to comply with stringent regulations applicable
to pharmaceutical drug manufacturers, Scienture may face delays in the development and commercialization of its products and product candidates
or be required to withdraw its products from the market for risks associated with manufacturing
and supply of its products and product candidates.
SCN-102 (ARBLI TM - Losartan Oral Suspension)
SCN-102, with the brand name Arbli TM ,
is an oral liquid formulation of losartan potassium for (i) treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure in adults and children
greater than 6 years old, (ii) reduction of the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, and (iii)
treatment of diabetic nephropathy with an elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and a history of
hypertension. SCN-102 was approved by the FDA in March 2025, making SCN-102 the first and only FDA-approved ready-to-use oral liquid losartan
in the U.S. market.
Losartan is classified as an angiotensin
receptor blocker (ARB) for treating hypertension and is one of the highest prescribed molecules for this indication. Current products
in the market containing losartan are available only as oral solids, which can be further compounded to a liquid formulation. Arbli TM
is the first liquid formulation of losartan on the U.S. market that does not require compounding and has reduced dosing volume and long-term
shelf life at room temperature storage.
SCN-102 has two formulation composition
and method of use patents listed in the FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred
to as the “orange book”: (i) Patent #: 11,890,273, Issue Date: February 6, 2024, titled “LOSARTAN LIQUID FORMULATIONS
AND METHODS OF USE”, Expiration Date: October 7, 2041 and (ii) Patent # 12,156,869; Issue Date: December 3, 2024, titled “LOSARTAN
LIQUID FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF USE”.

SCN-104 (Multi-dose Dihydroergotamine Mesylate
(“ DHE ”) injection pen)
The SCN-104 injection pen is a
disposable, multiple fixed dose, single entity combination product comprised of a small molecule drug that is administered using a customized
injection pen. SCN-104 is a drug product containing DHE as the active ingredient. The mechanism of action of SCN-104 is mediated through
DHE and is the same as that of DHE. DHE is available in the market as a single dose nasal spray, which has a high degree of variability
in clinical outcomes. While DHE is also available in the market as single dose ampoules for injection, we believe that the process of
dose withdrawal from the ampoule followed by self-injection at the time of intense need is cumbersome and difficult for the patient. We
believe that the SCN-104 multi-dose self-injection pen is easy to use, provides enhanced patient convenience, and provides for consistent
and accurate delivery of doses. The SCN-104 injection pen is being developed via the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for the acute treatment
of migraine headaches with or without aura and the acute treatment of cluster headache episodes.
As shown in third party studies
of DHE, SCN-104’s mechanism of action for its antimigraine effect is due to its potential action as an agonist at the serotonin
5-HT1D receptors. SCN-104 is intended for subcutaneous administration. SCN-104 is also intended for acute use and is not intended for
chronic administration. Scienture has conducted two preclinical studies of SCN-104 and the SCN-104 injection pen: (i) a 30-day repeated
dose toxicity study of dimethyl sulfoxide and caffeine following thrice daily, 3 times per week subcutaneous administration in Sprague-Dawley
rats and (ii) a 30-day repeated dose toxicity study of dimethyl sulfoxide and caffeine following thrice daily, 3 times per week subcutaneous
administration in Göttingen minipigs. Both studies support a conclusion that SCN-102 is considered to have no toxicological significance
across hematology, coagulation parameters, clinical chemistry and urinalysis.
Scienture has had discussions
with the FDA regarding its development program for SCN-104, with the FDA indicating that the reference product selected for a comparative
regulatory study and proposed plan for manufacturing New Drug Application registration batches are acceptable. The FDA also provided Scienture
with feedback on nonclinical safety studies and stability testing. Scienture is working to scale the formulation to enable future commercial
scale production and the pen has been optimized for commercial use. Currently, Scienture is focused on planning bioequivalence studies
and increasing manufacturing activities for the SCN-104 injection pen. Scienture plans to initiate a Phase 1 single dose study in healthy
adults in 2026, following submission of an Investigational New Drug application (an “ IND ”), if the IND is cleared by
the FDA.
SCN-104 has a formulation composition
and method of use application pending in the U.S. (Appl. No. 17/757,924; Filing Date: June 23, 2022; Expiration Date: June 15, 2035).
SCN-106 (Potential Biosimilar)
Scienture is developing a
potential biosimilar, SCN-106, based on Cathflo Activase, a reference product that is a thrombolytic agent that binds to fibrin in clots
and converts entrapped plasminogen to plasmin. SCN-106 is a sterile, purified glycoprotein that is synthesized using the complementary
DNA for natural human tPA obtained from a Chinese hamster ovary cell-line.
Scienture is working with
Anthem Biosciences Pvt, Ltd. to develop a biosimilar product that utilizes the same mechanism(s) of action for the proposed condition
of use, and has the same route of administration, dosage form, and strength as the reference product. The development program is focused
on establishing the analytical similarity of SCN-106 to the reference product. Multiple clones of CHO cells have been produced to synthesize
lots of SCN-106 which were screened for similarity to the reference product for several key biochemical quality attributes as well as
overall protein yield and finalization of a lead clone.
Scienture completed a Biosimilar
Initial Advisory meeting with the FDA in June 2023 to discuss the CMC, non-clinical, and clinical studies required for regulatory approval.
As a result of this meeting, Scienture learned that its analytical strategy for initiating analytical similarity studies between SCN-106
and a proposed biosimilar product is acceptable. Scienture also learned that SCN-106 is suitable for further development and received
guidance from the FDA on a comparable clinical study needed to demonstrate biosimilarity of SCN-106 and the reference product. In this
regard, Scienture was informed that no additional safety, PK, toxicology or dose range finding studies will be required due to the method
of use (very limited exposure) and the availability of an extensive amount of data on the original brand product. The only clinical requirement
is a comparative phase 3 clinical study in the sensitive population to demonstrate that there are no clinically meaningful differences
between SCN-106 and the currently marketed product.
SCN-106 is a potential biosimilar
and considered by the Company to be part of its product development portfolio, however the Company is not pursuing patent protection for
this product.

SCN-107 (Bupivacaine Long-Acting Injection)
SCN-107
is a long-acting injection suspension formulation of a non-opioid analgesic that is indicated for postsurgical local and regional analgesia.
Scienture’s long-acting formulation, SCN-107, is a novel microsphere-based formulation of bupivacaine that comprises the
drug in polymer-based microspheres and is intended to provide pain management over a period of 5-7 days. The product candidate is designed
to potentially provide longer term post-surgical pain relief compared to the currently available products in the market.
Based on initial discussions
with FDA regarding this program, Scienture believes this product candidate would require at least one Phase 3 clinical trial to support
submission of a marketing application. Scienture anticipates submitting an IND and, if cleared by the FDA, initiating a Phase 1 single
dose study in healthy adults in 2025 to conduct an initial assessment of safety and tolerability of SCN-107.
Scienture has entered into
Feasibility Study and Animal Trial Material Manufacturing Agreement with Innocore Technologies, B.V. (“ Innocore ”),
as amended on December 2, 2022 (the “ Innocore License ”), for certain intellectual property rights associated
with SCN-107. Under the Innocore License, Innocore granted Scienture a worldwide exclusive, milestone, royalty-bearing and sublicensable
license to certain patent rights for the research and development of SCN-107 in postsurgical local and regional analgesia. Pursuant to
the Innocore License, Scienture is required to make low single-digit percentage royalty payments based on annual net sales of licensed
products for the first three years of sales on a country-by-country basis, subject to a low single digit increase as of the fourth year
of sales on a country-by-country basis.
SCN-107 has a formulation composition
and method of use application pending in the U.S. (Appl. No. 17/996,995; Filing Date: October 24, 2022; Expiration Date: on or after
April 22, 2041). Applications in Canada and Europe are currently pending. As described above, the Company licenses certain patent rights
from Innocore for the research and development of SCN-107.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
Cash was $15,391 as of June
30, 2025, compared to $308,096 as of December 31, 2024. We expect that our future available capital resources will consist primarily of
cash generated from Scienture’s operations, remaining cash balances, borrowings, and additional funds raised through sales of debt
and/or equity securities.

Our principal sources of liquidity
have historically been cash provided by operations, sales of business assets and operations from time to time, sales of equity, and borrowings
under various debt arrangements. Our principal uses of cash have been for operating expenses, technology development, and acquisitions.
After our divestiture of our interest in IPS in April 2025 we no longer generate revenues from operations, and therefore anticipate for
the remainder of 2025 our principal sources of, and uses of, cash will be from proceeds of prospective sales of equity and debt securities.

Table of Contents
Liquidity
Outlook Cash Explanation
Cash
Requirements
Our
primary objectives for the remainder of 2025 are expected to be the continued implementation of Scienture business plan, and to complete
potential strategic transactions of our business-to-consumer subsidiaries, which may include a potential sale, spin-off, fund raising,
combination or other strategic transaction. There can be no assurance that our operations will generate significant positive cash flow,
or that additional funds will be available to us, through borrowings or otherwise, on favorable terms if required in the future, or at
all. We may also raise additional funding in the future through the sale of equity.
We may require additional
funding in the future to implement on our business plan and potentially to expand or complete acquisitions. The sources of this capital
are expected to be equity investments and notes payable. Our plan for the next twelve months is to continue exploring strategic transactions
or relationships with counterparties in industries that we deem synergistic or complimentary to those of the Company, while also seeking
to expand our Scienture operations organically or through acquisitions, as funding and opportunities arise. In the event we require additional
funding, we plan to raise that through the sale of debt or equity, 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.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying interim 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, Accounting
Standards Update 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 June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $48,823,543. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $15,391 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.

Cash used in operating activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $4,990,704, compared to cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, of
$5,967,718. The decrease in cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to decreases
in various expenses, charges and liabilities during the 2025 period.
Cash provided by (used in)
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $0 and cash provided by investing activities was $27,431,815 for the
six months ended June 30, 2024. The cash provided by investing activities in the 2024 period was primarily due to the disposition of various
assets to Micro Merchant Systems, Inc. in the first quarter of 2024 related to our former web-based market platform, partially offset
by the investment in securities of $2,500,000.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2025, was $4,697,999 compared to $13,896,011 of cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash provided
by financing activities in the 2025 period was due to proceeds from issuance of common stock pursuant to ELOC Agreement. The change was
primarily due to the payment of dividends of $12,671,072 and repayment of contingent liability of $1,246,346 in 2024.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses for each
period. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective
or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

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 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.
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
Stock-Based
Compensation

Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “ Compensation-Stock Compensation ”.
