Summary
Risk Factors
Our
business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including those highlighted in the section
titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, among others, the following:

Risk
Factors
We
hold a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a limited operating history. Scienture LLC was formed in 2019 and its
operations operations
to date have been limited to organizing and staffing its company, business planning, raising capital, identifying and
developing its
product candidates for the treatment of central nervous system (“CNS”) and cardiovascular
(“CVS”) diseases, securing
intellectual property rights, and planning and undertaking preclinical studies and clinical
trials. Scienture LLC has not yet demonstrated
an ongoing ability to generate revenues, obtain regulatory approvals, manufacture any
product on a commercial scale or arrange for a third party
to do so on its behalf or conduct sales and marketing activities
necessary for successful product commercialization. Scienture LLC’s
limited operating history as a company makes any
assessment of its future success and viability subject to significant uncertainty. Scienture
LLC will encounterencounters risks and
difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage biopharmaceutical companies in rapidly evolving fields,
and Scienture LLC has not
yet demonstrated an ability to successfully overcome such risks and difficulties. If Scienture LLC does not
address these risks and
difficulties successfully, its business will suffer.
Biopharmaceutical
product development entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that any potential product candidate will
fail fail
to demonstrate adequate efficacy or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval, secure market access and
reimbursement and
become commercially viable, and therefore any investment in us is highly speculative. Accordingly, you should
consider our prospects,
factoring in the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in
clinical development, especially
clinical-stage biopharmaceutical companies such as us. Any predictions you make about our future
success or viability may not be as accurate
as they would otherwise be if itwe had a longer operating history or a history of
successfully developing and commercializing pharmaceutical
products. We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties,
complications, delays and other known or unknown factors in achieving Scienture
LLC’sour business objectives.
Additionally,
our expenses could increase beyond our expectations if we are required by the FDA or other comparable regulatory authorities to perform
clinical trials in addition to those that we currently expect, or if there are any delays in establishing appropriate manufacturing arrangements
for or in completing itsour clinical trials or the development of any of our product candidates.
Certain
of our executive officers lack experience with the clinical development of therapeutic products for FDA marketing approval.
Our
primary executive officers, including Suren Ajjarapu, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary, and Prashant Patel,
President, Chief Operating Officer, Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer and Director, lack experience in overseeing the clinical
development of therapeutic products for FDA marketing approval. While Scienture LLC’s executive officers have extensive experience
in this regard, the lack of such experience at the executive level of the Company presents a risk that the Company may not effectively
oversee the operations of Scienture LLC and Scienture LLC’s comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
We
need additional capital which may not be available when needed or on commercially acceptable terms, thereby casting substantial doubt
on our ability to continue as a going concern.terms. Raising additional capital may cause
dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations
or require us to relinquish rights to our product candidates. To the extent outstanding loan conversion rights associated with our existing
indebtedness are exercised, there will be dilution to our stockholders.
Our
historical financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. After the Company’s
disposed of Micro Merchant Systems, Inc. (“MMS”), the Company had $3.5 million in cash. The Company received $7.5 million
in May 2024 pertaining to the final payment of the MMS disposition. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$39.04 million. We have limited financial resources, as of December 31, 2024, we had a cash balance of $308,096.
Scienture
LLC’s activities of developingDeveloping biopharmaceutical products, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, is a very
time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete. Moving forward, we expect our expenses to continue to increase
in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we conduct clinical trials of, and seek regulatory and marketing approval
for, our product candidates. Even if our current or future product candidates are approved for commercial sale, we anticipate incurring
significant costs associated with commercializing any approved product candidate. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated
with research and development of product candidates, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of our working capital requirements.
Until
such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations with existing cash, cash
equivalents, equivalents,
short-term investments, and any future equity or debt financings and upfront and milestone and royalty payments, if
any, received under
any future licenses or collaborations. While thewe Company believesbelieve that itsour cash as of the date of this RegistrationAnnual StatementReport will
be be
sufficient to meet itsour funding requirements during the next 12 months, this belief may prove to be wrong as we could utilize
available available
capital resources sooner than we expect. We will eventually need to raise additional capital or secure debt funding to
support on-going
operations. This may include raising additional financing on an opportunistic basis in the future. For example, we
may seek to raise
equity capital or obtain additional capital in the near term due to favorable market conditions or strategic
considerations even if we
believe we have sufficient funds for current or future operating plans.
On
September 2023, Scienture LLC entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated September 8, 2023, by and between NV Finance LLC, a Nebraska
Limited Liability Company (“NVK”) and Scienture LLC (the “NVK Loan Agreement”) for a principal amount of $2,000,000.
The loan is due upon maturity, together with all unpaid interest expense, in September 2025. The outstanding balance under the NVK debt
is convertible, at NVK’s option at any time, into common stock. NVK is entitled to receive warrants to purchase shares of Scienture
LLC’s common stock. Scienture LLC entered into a Consent and Waiver on July 25, 2024 (the “NVK Consent and Waiver”),
regarding the NVK loan in connection with the business combination with the Company. Under the NVK Consent and Waiver, the warrants previously
granted to NVK were converted into 5.25% warrants on a fully diluted basis, equalling 500,526 shares of outstanding common stock of Scienture
LLC and placed in escrow. Any such conversion by NVK will result in dilution to holders Conversely, should NVK not exercise its conversion
right prior to maturity of the loan, Scienture LLC would need to obtain additional financing to fund its cash payment obligations thereunder.
These
matters, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time, which is defined as within one year after the date that our condensed financial statements are issued. The financial
herein do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The doubt regarding our potential ability to continue as a going
concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, if we are unable to continue
as a going concern, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.
Indebtedness
and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, including under Scienture LLC’s outstanding secured convertible
debt, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In
September 2023, Scienture LLC incurred $2 million of indebtedness under a Loan and Security Agreement dated September 8, 2023, by and
between NVK Finance LLC, a Nebraska Limited Liability Company (“NVK”) and Scienture LLC (the “NVK Loan Agreement”)
in connection with the business combination of NVK with Scienture LLC. In the future, we may incur indebtedness to meet financing needs
or otherwise refinance existing indebtedness. Indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and
our business, results of operations, and financial condition by, among other things:
Increasing
vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;
Scienture
LLC’s obligations under the NVK loan agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in all of Scienture LLC’s
assets, including its intellectual property rights. Accordingly, Scienture LLC’s failure to perform its obligations under the NVK
loan agreement could result in NVK selling to foreclose on this collateral. Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may
otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves to pay amounts due under any indebtedness incurred.
Scienture
LLC’s lead product candidate, SCN-102, for the treatment of hypertension, was only recently approved by the FDA. Its other product
candidates and programs are at various stages of development, and Scienture LLC has not yet initiated clinical trials for these other
candidates in our pipeline. We seek to support Scienture LLC in rapidly advancing discovery and development of transformational medicines
for patients suffering from CNS and CVS diseases.
We
have invested and expect to continue to invest in new businesses, products, services, and technologies. Such endeavors may involve significant
risks and uncertainties, including insufficient revenues from such investments to offset any new liabilities assumed and expenses associated
with these new investments, inadequate return of capital on our investments, distraction of management from current operations, and unidentified
issues not discovered in our due diligence of such strategies and offerings that could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits
of such investments and incur unanticipated liabilities. Because these new ventures are inherently risky, no assurance can be given that
such strategies and offerings will be successful and will not adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, and operating results.
To date we have taken losses and/or write-downs on several businesses, products, services, and technologies. For example:
The
use of resources for new businesses and new products, services, and technologies, to the extent such new businesses and new products,
services, and technologies do not generate revenues or profits may take management’s focus and time away from more profitable endeavors,
may require the Companyus to take significant write-downs or write-offs, may take funding away from the Company’sour other operations
or growth opportunities, which may ultimately be more profitable, and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’sour cash
flows, liquidity and revenues, any or all of which may cause the value of the Company’sour securities to decline in value or become
worthless.
Scienture
LLC has not completed the development of anySCN-102, which received FDA regulatory approval in March 2025 and commenced commercialization in the
third quarter of 2025. The remaining product candidates.candidates Although— ScientureSCN-104, LLCSCN-106, hasand initiatedSCN-107 development for product candidates,
all of these candidates, other than SCN-102,— remain in early-stage clinical or preclinical
development. Management expects SCN-104 and SCN-106 to achieve regulatory approval in 2027 or 2028, with commercialization projected
to begin in 2028, and SCN-107 to achieve regulatory approval in 2028 or 2029, with commercialization projected to begin in 2029. Our
future success and ability
to generate revenue from Scienture LLC’s product candidates is dependent on our ability to successfully develop,
obtain regulatory
approval forfor, and commercialize one or more of our remaining product candidates. Even though approved by the FDA, SCN-102 will require substantial additional
investment for commercialization, clinical development, regulatory review, and approval in one or more jurisdictions. If any of Scienture
LLC’s product
candidates encounters safety or efficacy problems, development delays, regulatory issuesissues, or other problems, our development
plans and
business would be materially harmed.
We
may not have the financial resources to continue development of Scienture LLC’sour product candidates, particularly if Scienturewe LLC
experience any issues
that delay or prevent regulatory approval of, or itsour ability to commercialize, product candidates, including:
In
addition, clinical trials conducted in one country may not be accepted by regulatory authorities in other countries, and regulatory approval
in one country does not guarantee regulatory approval in any other country. Scienture LLCWe may in the future conduct one or more of its
clinical trials with one or more trial sites that are located outside the United States. Although the FDA may accept data from clinical
trials conducted outside the United States, acceptance of this data is subject to conditions imposed by the FDA, and there can be no
assurance that the FDA will accept data from trials conducted outside of the United States. If the FDA does not accept the data from
any trial that we conduct outside the United States, it would likely result in the need for additional trials, which would be costly
and time-consuming and could delay or permanently halt our development of the applicable product candidates.
Our
success depends upon the continued contributions of our key management and scientific personnel, many of whom have substantial experience
with developing therapies, identifying potential product candidates and building the technologies related to the clinical development
of our product candidates. However, some of officers and directors have duties and affiliations with other companies. Involvement of
our officers and directors in other businesses may present a conflict of interest regarding decisions they make for the Companyus or with
respect to the amount of time available for the Company.us.
Given
the specialized nature of CNVCNS and CVS diseases and our approach, there is an inherent scarcity of experienced personnel in these
fields. fields.
As we continue developing product candidates, we will require personnel with medical, scientific, or technical
qualifications specific
to each program. The loss of any of our officers or directors, in particular our current management team
consisting of Shankar Hariharan,
Narasimhan Mani,Mani or Rahul Surana, Suren Ajjarapu, or Prashant Patel, could have a materially adverse
effect upon our business and future
prospects.
The
Company holds, on behalf of and for the benefit of Mr. Ajjarapu, a personal disability insurance policy providing for a $1,500,000 lump
sum benefit, payable to Mr. Ajjarapu, in the event of Mr. Ajjarapu’s disability. The premiums on such policy will be paid by the
Company for so long as Mr. Ajjarapu is employed by the Company. The Company also holds a $4,000,000 key-man life insurance policy on
the life of Mr. Ajjarapu, and a $1,500,000 lump sum disability insurance policy on Mr. Ajjarapu, providing for the Company as beneficiary
of such policies. The Company does not hold key-man life insurance policies for any other employees.
We
face significant competition in seeking appropriate collaborators. Whether we reach a definitive agreement for a partnership or collaboration
will depend, among other things, upon our assessment of the collaborator’s resources and expertise, the terms and conditions of
the proposed partnerships or collaboration and the proposed collaborator’s evaluation of a number of factors. Those factors may
include the potential differentiation of our product candidates from competing product candidates, design or results of clinical trials,
the likelihood of approval by the FDA or other comparable regulatory authorities and the regulatory pathway for any such approval, the
potential market for the product candidate, the costs and complexities of manufacturing and delivering the product to patients and the
potential of competing products. The collaborator may also consider alternative product candidates or technologies for similar indications
that may be available for partnership or collaboration and whether such a partnership or collaboration could be more attractive than
the one with the Companyus for our product candidate. If we elect to increase expenditures to fund development or commercialization activities
on our own, we may need to obtain additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we do not have
sufficient funds, we may not be able to further develop product candidates or bring them to market and generate product revenue.
We
do not own or operate manufacturing facilities for the production of clinical or commercial quantities of our product candidates,
and and
we lack the resources and the capabilities to do so. Our current strategy is to outsource all manufacturing of itsour product
candidates candidates
to third parties, including in jurisdictions outside of the United States such as China. As such, we currently rely on
third-party manufacturers
to provide all of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) and the final drug product formulation of all of our product candidates that are
being used in our clinical
trials and preclinical studies. If we were to need an alternate manufacturer, we would incur added costs
and delays in identifying and
qualifying any such replacement. In addition, we typically order raw materials, API and drug product
and services on a purchase order
basis and do not enter into long-term dedicated capacity or minimum supply arrangements with any
commercial manufacturer. We may not
be able to timely secure needed supply arrangements on satisfactory terms, or at all. Our
failure to secure these arrangements as needed
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete the development of
our product candidates or, to commercialize them,
if approved. We may be unable to conclude agreements for commercial supply with
third-party manufacturers or may be unable to do so on
acceptable terms. There may be difficulties in scaling up to commercial
quantities and formulation of our product candidates, and the
costs of manufacturing could be prohibitive.
If
we do not maintain itsour key manufacturing relationships, we may fail to find replacement manufacturers or develop our own manufacturing
capabilities, which could delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates. If we do find replacement
manufacturers, we may not be able to enter into agreements with them on terms and conditions favorable to us and there could be a substantial
delay before new facilities could be qualified and registered with the FDA and other comparable regulatory authorities.
Some
of our manufacturers are located outside of the United States, including in China. There is currently significant uncertainty about the
future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, with respect to trade policies, treaties,
government regulations and tariffs. Increased tariffs or pending legislation that would impose federal contracting or federal funding
limitations on parties directly using or connected to those using the services or equipment of certain foreign entities with known or
alleged associations with foreign adversaries could potentially disrupt our existing supply chains and impose additional costs on our
business. In particular, certain Chinese biotechnology companies and commercial manufacturing organizations may become subject to trade
restrictions, sanctions, and other regulatory requirements by the U.S. government, which could restrict or even prohibit our ability
to work with such entities, thereby potentially disrupting our supplies and manufacturing. Additionally, it is possible further tariffs
may be imposed that could affect imports of any Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“APIs”) used in our product candidates
in the future, or our business may be adversely impacted by retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries, including restricted
access to such raw materials used in its product candidates. Given the unpredictable regulatory environment in China and the United States
and uncertainty regarding how the U.S. or foreign governments will act with respect to tariffs, international trade agreements and policies,
further governmental action related to tariffs, additional taxes, contracting matters, regulatory changes or other retaliatory trade
measures in the future could occur with a corresponding detrimental impact on our business and financial condition.
In
August 2022 and April 2023, Scienture LLC entered into exclusive license and commercial agreements with Kesin Pharma Corporation (“Kesin”),
a related party, pursuant to which Scienture LLC granted the exclusive license rights to commercialize two of its potential products,
SCN-102 and SCN-104, to Kesin for use in the United States. In March 2024, Scienture LLC and Kesin agreement to terminate those agreements
and agreed that Scienture LLC would pay Kesin a total gross amount of $1.3 million upon commercialization of either SCN-102 or SCN-104
via a royalty arrangement. This agreement also requires that if the full $1.3 million has not been repaid within two years of the earlier
of i) commercial launch of a product or ii) 120 days after FDA approval of a product, then interest will accrue prospectively at a rate
of 8% annually on the unpaid balance. In August 2024, Kesin demanded immediate payment of the full amount under this agreement, alleging
it is payable in connection with the consummation Scienture LLC’s business combination with the Company. We have disputed that
the amount is now payable, and we have been in discussions to resolve the issue. However, on March 11, 2025, Kesin filed a complaint against
Scienture LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York seeking payment of the disputed $1.285 million.
We intend to vigorously defend ourself in this matter.
There
can be no assurance that an amicable resolution will be obtained and the litigation arising from this matter could be costly and may
divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business. We would have to obtain financing to fund any amounts
payable under this agreement.
The
successful development of Scienture LLC’sour pharmaceutical products involves a lengthy and expensive process and is highly uncertain.
Successful
development of Scienture LLC’sour pharmaceutical products involves a lengthy and expensive process, is highly uncertain, and is dependent
on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. Product candidates that appear promising in the early phases of development
may fail to reach the market for several reasons, including:
In
addition, if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval, we will be subject to significant regulatory obligations regarding
the submission of safety and other post-marketing information and reports and registration, and will need to continue to comply (or ensure
that our third-party providers comply) with current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMPs”) and GoodGCPs Clinical Practices (“GCPs”)
for any clinical trials that we conduct post-approval. In addition, there is always the risk that we, a regulatory authority or a third
party might identify previously unknown problems with a product post-approval, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency.
Compliance with these requirements is costly, and any failure to comply or other issues with our product candidates post-approval could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
may be subject to health information privacy and security laws by the federal government, the states and other jurisdictions in which
we may conduct our business. In particular, we may be subject to regulations promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), which establishes privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure
of individually identifiable health information, known as “protected health information,” and requires the implementation
of administrative, physical and technological safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and ensure the confidentiality,
integrity and availability of electronic protected health information. We are directly subject to certain provisions of the regulations
as a “Business Associate” through our relationships with customers. We are also directly subject to the HIPAA privacy and
security regulations as a “Covered Entity” with respect to our operations as a healthcare clearinghouse, specialty pharmacy
and medical surgical supply business. If we are unable to properly protect the privacy and security of protected health information entrusted
to us, we could be found to have breached our contracts with our customers. Further, if we fail to comply with applicable HIPAA privacy
and security standards, we could face civil and criminal penalties. Although we have implemented and continue to maintain policies and
processes to assist us in complying with these regulations and our contractual obligations, we cannot provide assurances regarding how
these regulations will be interpreted, enforced or applied by the government and regulators to our operations. In addition to the risks
associated with enforcement activities and potential contractual liabilities, our ongoing efforts to comply with evolving laws and regulations
at the federal and state level might also require us to make costly system purchases /or modifications from time to time. For more information,
see “Scienture’s Business–Government Regulation–Other Healthcare Laws.”
We have not prepared or submitted an NDA or submitted similar filings to comparable foreign regulatory authorities
for product candidates other than SCN-102. An NDA or other similar
regulatory filing requesting approval to market a product candidate must include extensive
preclinical and clinical data and supporting
information to establish that the product candidate is safe, effective, pure and potent
for each desired indication. The NDA or other
similar regulatory filing must also include significant information regarding the chemistry,
manufacturing and controls for the product.
The
availability and adequacy of coverage and reimbursement by governmental healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, private health
insurers and other third-party payors in the United States are essential for most patients to be able to afford treatments such as our
products or product candidates, if approved. Our ability to achieve acceptable levels of coverage and reimbursement for drug treatments
by governmental authorities, private health insurers and other organizations will have an effect on our ability to successfully commercialize
our products, and potentially attract additional collaboration partners to invest in the development of our product candidates. We cannot
be sure that adequate coverage and reimbursement in the United States, the EU or elsewhere will be available for our products or any
products that we may develop, and any reimbursement that may become available may be decreased or eliminated in the future. For more
information, see “Scienture’s Business–Government Regulation– Pharmaceutical Coverage, Pricing, and Reimbursement.”
In
the United States and some foreign jurisdictions, there have been, and continue to be, several legislative and regulatory changes and
proposed changes regarding the healthcare system that could prevent or delay marketing approval of product candidates, restrict or regulate
post-approval activities, and affect our ability to profitably sell any product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval. For
more information, see “Scienture’s Business– Other Regulatory Requirements–Healthcare Reform.”
Scienture
LLC is a party to a Feasibility Study and Animal Trial Material Manufacturing Agreement withthe Innocore Technologies, B.V. (“Innocore”),
as amended on December 2, 2022 (the “Innocore License”),License, an exclusive and royalty-bearing intellectual property license agreement.
In connection with our efforts to expand our pipeline of product candidates, we expect to enter into additional license agreements in
the future. We expect that any future license agreements we may enter into may impose various diligence, milestone payment, royalty,
insurance, and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations, our licensors may have the right to terminate the
relevant agreement, in which event we would not be able to develop or market the products covered by such licensed intellectual property,
or to pursue other remedies.

There
is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listing on Nasdaq for any period of time by perpetually satisfying
Nasdaq’s Nasdaq’s
continued listing requirements. Our failure to continue to meet these requirements may result in our securities being
delisted from Nasdaq.
At times, including during our 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, we have received deficiency notices from Nasdaq regarding our inability to

In the event we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Initial Compliance Period, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period (the “Additional Compliance Period”) if, at that time, we meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement. Additionally, we would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the Additional Compliance Period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. Our failure to regain compliance during the Initial Compliance Period or the Additional Compliance Period, if applicable, could result in delisting.

other Nasdaq listing criteria. If our common stock were to be delisted from Nasdaq, it would likely reduce the
liquidity of our
common stock, and, among other things, may decrease the attractiveness of our common stock to the investment community,
and make it
more difficult for us to issue equity securities for capital raising purposes or for acquisitions.
As
of the date of this RegistrationAnnual Statement,Report, we had outstanding various warrants, stock options and other securities that are exercisable
into shares of our common stock. For the life of the options and warrants, the holders have the opportunity to profit from a rise in
the market price of our common stock without assuming the risk of ownership. The issuance of shares upon the exercise of outstanding
securities will also dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. The availability of these shares for public resale,
as well as any actual resales of these shares, could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Although
we declared special cash dividends in the first and third quarters of 2024, those dividends were declared as the result of a sale various
business assets and not paid from cash generated in our operations. TheWe Company hashave not historically paid or declared any dividends on

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:
On
September 20, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated

SOSRx, LLC
SOSRx, was formed on February 15, 2022. The Company entered into a relationship with Exchange Health, LLC (“Exchange Health”), a technology company providing an online platform for manufacturers and suppliers to sell and purchase pharmaceuticals, pursuant to which SOSRx, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed, which was owned 51% by the Company and 49% by Exchange Health. SOSRx did not generate material revenue and in February 2023 the Company voluntarily withdrew from the joint venture agreement.
Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC and Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC
On January 20, 2023, the Company entered into Membership Interest Purchase Agreements to sell 100% of the outstanding membership interests of the Company’s former subsidiaries, Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC and Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC (d.b.a DelivMeds). The Company also agreed to enter into a Master Service Agreement to operate the businesses prior to closing. The transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreements closed on August 22, 2023.
Superlatus Inc.
On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into the Superlatus Merger Agreement with Superlatus Inc., a diversified food technology company, and Merger Sub.
On July 31, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Superlatus in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Superlatus Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired Superlatus by way of a merger of the Merger Sub with and into Superlatus, with Superlatus being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving entity in the Superlatus Merger.
Under the terms of the Superlatus Merger Agreement, at the Closing, shareholders of Superlatus received an aggregate of 136,441 shares of the Company’s common stock and 306,855 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock. At Closing, the value of the Company’s common stock was $7.30 per share, resulting in a total value of $225,000,169.
On October 13, 2023, the Company announced that Superlatus PD Holding Company, Inc., a purported subsidiary of Superlatus, entered into a supplier agreement with Rainforest, pursuant to which Superlatus allegedly appointed Rainforest as its exclusive distributor for Superlatus’ portfolio of consumer packaged goods brands in certain markets. The Company later learned and announced that neither the Company’s management nor the Company’s Board of Directors authorized or approved the organization of Superlatus PD Holding Company, Inc. or the entry into the supplier agreement. Instead, the Company’s management determined that certain representatives of a former subsidiary of the Company likely unilaterally took actions related to the supplier agreement.
On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into the Superlatus Amendment as not all of the closing conditions of the Superlatus Merger Agreement were met. Under the terms of the Superlatus Amendment, the merger consideration to the shareholders of Superlatus was adjusted to the aggregate of 136,441 shares of the Company’s common stock and 15,759 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in a total value of $12,500,089. Additionally, the shareholders of Superlatus agreed to surrender back to the Company 291,096 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into the Superlatus SPA with the Buyer, Superlatus Foods Inc. Pursuant to the Superlatus SPA, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of Superlatus to the Buyer. A $1.00 purchase price was delivered to the Company at the closing, which occurred simultaneously with the execution of the Superlatus SPA. As a result of the transaction Superlatus is no longer a subsidiary of the Company, and the rights and assets of Superlatus together with various liabilities and obligations that were specific to Superlatus became rights and obligations of the Buyer.
Other Legacy Subsidiaries
The Company also previously owned 100% of Softell, IPS, Bonum Health, Inc., and Bonum Health, LLC.
Softell & IPS Entities
On October 4, 2024, the Company and Softell entered into the 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.
On April 8, 2025, the Company entered into the IPS MIPA with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all of the Company’s membership interests in IPS. Suren Ajjarapu, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and Prashant Patel, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer, each have a beneficial interest in Tollo.
On April 8, 2025, the Company also entered into the Softell SPA with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Softell.
Bonum Health Entities
On April 8, 2025, the Company also entered into the Bonum SPA 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.
In November 2025, the Company dissolved Bonum Health, LLC.
The divestitures described above 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 LLC subsidiary.
The Company believes that the key benefits of the divestitures include:

Recent
Events
On
September 20, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to change the legal name of the Company from “TRxADE HEALTH, Inc.” to “Scienture Holdings,
Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Other than the Name Change, there were no changes to the Company’s certificate of
incorporation or bylaws.
Effective
September 23, 2024, the Company’s common stock trades under the ticker symbol “SCNX”. The Name Change resulted in a
change to the CUSIP number for the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock offered on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s primary source of liquidity consisted of $6,662,008 in cash and cash equivalents and the Tollo promissory note with a principal balance of $5,000,000 (bearing interest at the prime rate and maturing June 30, 2030). The Company has financed its operations primarily through equity issuances under its equity line of credit (“ELOC”) and convertible note arrangements. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company raised approximately $26.3 million in gross equity proceeds through ELOC and other equity transactions. The Company’s principal uses of cash are commercialization of ARBLI™ and REZENOPYTM research and development, general and administrative costs, and debt service. The Company expects to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from its existing cash balance and revenues generated from ARBLI™ commercialization, which commenced in the third quarter of 2025 and is expected to grow in 2026. The company also expects to generate revenue from REZENOPYTM which is anticipated to commence in the second quarter of 2026. The Company may also raise additional funding through the sale of debt or equity to fund accelerated pipeline development activities; however, there can be no assurance that such funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all.
The Company’s ability to continue to fund operations beyond the next twelve months will depend on its ability to grow revenues from the commercialization of ARBLI™ and REZENOPYTM and, if needed, to access additional capital markets. Management continues to evaluate potential strategic transactions and partnerships to accelerate product development and commercialization across the pipeline.
Our
primary objectives for the year of 2025 are expected to be the continued implementation of the Scienture LLC 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, and also include the winding down of such entities. 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
estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be approximately as follows:
(1)
Includes estimated wages and payroll, legal and accounting, marketing, rent and research and development.
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 using
the same marketing and management strategies to promote our IPS assets and operations, exploring strategic transactions involving our
corporate assets, while also seeking to expand our and Scienture LLC 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.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,662,008, positive working capital of approximately $5,181,000, and current liabilities of approximately $2,735,000. Management evaluated conditions and events in accordance with ASC 205-40 and determined that, based on the factors described below, there is no substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date these financial statements are issued. See also “Note 2 – Going Concern” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $80,551,237 and cash and cash equivalents of $6,662,008. The Company had current liabilities of $2,735,351 and working capital of approximately $5,181,000, an improvement of approximately $6,782,000 from the working capital deficit of $(1,601,416) as of December 31, 2024.
Management believes that the Company’s existing cash of $6,662,008, combined with growing revenues from ARBLI™ and REZENOPYTM commercialization and its plans to access additional capital as needed, will be sufficient to fund operations and meet its obligations for at least the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. Key factors supporting this assessment include: (i) cash on hand of $6.7 million, which management believes is sufficient to cover current operating requirements; (ii) positive working capital of approximately $5.2 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $(1.6) million as of December 31, 2024; (iii) initial revenues from ARBLI™ commencing in the third quarter of 2025, with projected revenue growth in 2026; (iv) initial revenues from REZENOPY™ commencing in the third quarter of 2025, with projected revenue growth in 2026 and (v) the Company’s ability to modulate discretionary spending and access equity markets, as demonstrated by raising approximately $26.3 million in gross equity proceeds during 2025.
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, 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 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.
The
following table summarizes ourthe Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the followingyears periodsended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $13,382,482, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $13,286,163 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The net loss of $43,507,142 was the primary driver of cash used in operations in 2025, partially offset by significant non-cash charges including $26,346,050 of impairment losses, $3,161,100 of debt discount amortization, $2,068,892 of stock-based compensation expense, $4,310,090 of common stock issued for services, $453,846 of amortization of intangible assets, and gains on warrant and derivative fair value changes of $3,205,854. Changes in working capital used cash of approximately $3,0,000, primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable and inventory associated with the ARBLI™ commercialization launch.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $2,379,024 net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations was $0 for 2025, compared to $29,931,815 in 2024, which primarily reflected proceeds from the disposition of Micro Merchant Systems assets and other asset sales completed in the first and second quarters of 2024.
Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $19,733,595, compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately $12,980,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities in 2025 was primarily driven by gross proceeds of $26,293,039 from the issuance of common stock through the Company’s ELOC and other equity transactions, partially offset by repayment of convertible notes of $9,244,444, net repayment of related party loans of $415,000, and development liability payments of $400,000. The year ended December 31, 2024 reflected cash used in financing activities primarily due to the payment of special cash dividends of approximately $14,858,000 partially offset by proceeds from convertible note issuances.
Cash
used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $14,265,238 compared to $2,225,192 in 2023. The increase in
cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was mainly due to our net loss and cash used in operating assets and
liabilities in 2024 driven by other receivables, partially offset by non-cash charges.
Cash
provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $27,552,791 and cash used in investing activities was $275,717
for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in cash provided by investing activities in 2024 was primarily due to the MMS disposition
in the first quarter and cash received in acquisition of Scienture, Inc., partially offset by the investment in securities of $2,500,000.
Cash provided by in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was ($14,979,770) compared to $1,406,332 of cash provided
by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily due to the payment of dividends of $14,858,831
in 2024. In August 2024, the Company received note proceeds of $314,000 and $2,640,000 in net proceeds from convertible debenture in
November 2024.
The
following selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with the unauditedaudited consolidated financial statements and the
the notes to these statements included above.in this Annual Report.
Revenues and Gross Profit
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $431,609, compared to $136,643 for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $294,966, or approximately 216%. The increase reflects initial sales of ARBLI™ (SCN-102, Losartan Potassium Oral Suspension) through wholesale distribution channels, which commenced in the third quarter of 2025 following FDA approval in March 2025. Revenue in 2024 consisted primarily of residual pharmaceutical wholesale activity prior to the IPS disposition. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $100,127, resulting in gross profit of $331,482 (gross margin: 76.8%), compared to cost of sales of $130,638 and gross profit of $6,005 (gross margin: 4.4%) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The improvement in gross margin reflects the shift to higher-margin branded pharmaceutical sales through ARBLI™ versus the prior-period lower-margin wholesale distribution activity.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $42,922,324 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $14,707,020 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $28,215,304 was primarily driven by non-cash impairment charges of $26,346,050 recognized in 2025 (comprising a goodwill impairment of $21,372,960 and IPR&D impairment of $4,973,090), with no comparable charge in 2024. Excluding impairment charges, total operating expenses were $16,576,274 in 2025 compared to $14,707,020 in 2024. Key components of operating expenses were as follows:
Wage and salary expense was $2,118,568 for the year ended December 31, 2025, relatively flat compared to $2,111,066 for 2024. Professional fees increased $949,490 to $2,407,822 in 2025 from $1,458,332 in 2024, primarily due to higher external consulting costs related to commercialization activities, SEC compliance, and corporate actions. Accounting and legal expense was $2,070,337 in 2025 compared to $1,807,041 in 2024, an increase of $263,296, driven by incremental costs associated with the year-end audit, SEC filings, and legal matters. General and administrative expenses (including non-cash stock-based compensation) increased $1,248,436 to $7,926,016 in 2025 from $6,677,580 in 2024, primarily due to higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense and costs associated with ARBLI™ commercialization activities. Technology expense decreased $319,050 to $97,261 in 2025 from $416,311 in 2024, primarily reflecting the wind-down of legacy technology platform expenses following the IPS and Softell dispositions. Research and development expenses were $1,956,270 in 2025 compared to $2,236,690 in 2024, a decrease of $280,420, reflecting shifts in the timing of CRO and regulatory spending across our pipeline programs (SCN-102: $368K; SCN-104: $422K; SCN-106: $298K; SCN-107: $500K in 2025).

In connection with our $11 million financing facility with Streeterville that we established in April 2026, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary—SCNX Holdings, LLC (“SCNX Sub”). SCNX Sub exists solely in connection with the financing facility and has no operations. At closing of the financing facility, Streeterville paid deposited $3 million into a bank account held by SCNX Sub, which is secured pursuant to a deposit account control agreement among SCNX Sub, Streeterville, and the bank.
During the year ended December 31, We previously were known as TRxADE HEALTH, Inc. and operated a web-based market platform focused on enhancing commerce among healthcare participants, a licensed pharmaceutical wholesaler, and a digital telehealth company, through our ownership of Softell Inc. (f/k/a Trxade Inc.) (“Softell”), Integra Pharma Solutions, LLC d.b.a. Trxade Prime (“IPS”), Bonum Health, LLC, and Bonum Health Inc. In April 2025, we sold Softell, IPS, and Bonum Health Inc. We dissolved Bonum Health Inc. in November 2025. In connection with the acquisition of Scienture, LLC, we changed our legal name to “Scienture Holdings, Inc.” The divestiture of these legacy subsidiaries was part of a broader strategic realignment designed to sharpen operational focus and unlock long-term value. It is aligned with our commitment to streamline our core operations, optimize our portfolio, and accelerate growth in the Branded and Specialty Pharma markets.
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

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 CNS and 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.
Scienture’sOur
vision is to be a leader in the industry by developing and commercializing new medicinesbranded pharmaceutical products for the treatment of CNS and CVS diseases and
across other therapeutic areas. Key elements of Scienture’sour strategy to achieve this vision include:
ScientureWe
currently has fourtwo commercial products that have been launched and three primary product candidates in itsour development pipeline, summarized below, and isare engaged in a variety of research
and development efforts to develop novel product candidates for the treatment of various disease conditions. To date, Scienturewe hashave generated

ScientureWe
hashave devoted and will continue to devote significant resources to sales and marketing of our commercial products and research and
development activities, and expects to incur significant
expenses as Scienturewe continuescontinue advancing itsour product candidates
towards FDA approval and expanding product indications for approved
products and itsour intellectual property portfolio. Scienture’s
Our expectations regarding itsour research and development programs are
subject to risks, including the risk that Scienture’s
our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected by delays and failures in
the completion of clinical development of itsour product candidates, which could increase its costs or
delay or limit our ability to
generate revenues.
ScientureWe
currently dependsdepend on third-party commercial manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) for itsour manufacturing operations,
including the production of raw materials, finished dosage form product, and product packaging for both itsour planned product commercialization
and for use in itsour preclinical and clinical research. ScientureWe doesdo not own or operate manufacturing facilities for the production of
any of itsour product candidates nor doesdo Scienturewe have plans to develop its ownsuch manufacturing operations in the foreseeable future to
support clinical trials or commercial production. ScientureWe currently employs internal resources to manage itsour manufacturing contractors.
Scienture
isWe are in discussion with CMOs headquartered in North America, Europe and Asia for itsour pipeline product candidates. These CMOs offer a comprehensive
range of commercial contract manufacturing and packaging services.
If
Scienturewe failsfail to produce itsour products and product candidates in the volumes that itwe requiresrequire on a timely basis, or failsfail to comply
with stringent regulations applicable to pharmaceutical drug manufacturers, Scienturewe may face delays in the development and commercialization
of itsour products and product candidates or be required to withdraw itsour products from the market for risks associated with
manufacturing and supply of itsour products and product candidates.

FOR INTRANASAL ADMINISTRATION AND USES THEREOF”, Expiration Date: February 5, 2041.
ScientureWe
hashave had discussions with the FDA regarding itsthe development program for SCN-104, with the FDA indicating that the reference product
selected selected
for a comparative regulatory study and proposed plan for manufacturing New Drug Application registration batches are
acceptable. The
FDA also provided Scientureus with feedback on nonclinical safety studies and stability testing. ScientureWe isare working to scale the
formulation formulation
to enable future commercial scale production and the pen has been optimized for commercial use. Currently, Scienturewe is are
focused on planning
bioequivalence studies and increasing manufacturing activities for the SCN-104 injection pen. ScientureWe plansplan to
initiate a Phase 1 single
dose study in healthy adults in 2026,early 2027, following submission of an Investigational New Drug application (an
“IND”),
if the IND is cleared by the FDA.
Scienture
isWe are 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.
ScientureSpecifically,
iswe are 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.
ScientureWe
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, Scienturewe learned that itsour analytical strategy for initiating analytical similarity
studies between SCN-106 and a proposed biosimilar product is acceptable. ScientureWe 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, Scienturewe waswere 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 itsour product development portfolio, however thewe Company isare not pursuing
patent protection for this product.
SCN-107
is a long-acting injection suspension formulation of a non-opioid analgesic that is indicated for postsurgical local and regional analgesia.
Scienture’sOur 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, Scienturewe believesbelieve this product candidate would require at least one Phase 3
clinical trial to support submission of a marketing application. ScientureWe anticipatesanticipate submitting an IND in 2027 and, if cleared by the FDA,
initiating a Phase 1 single dose study in healthy adults in 2025plan to conduct an initial assessment of safety and tolerability of
SCN-107.

hasLLC previously entered into a Feasibility Study and Animal Trial Material Manufacturing Agreement with Innocore Technologies, B.V.
(“Innocore”),
as amended on December 2, 2022 (the “Innocore License”), for

Our
primary objectives for the remainder of 2026 are expected to be the continued implementation of Scientureour business plan, and to complete

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,us,
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.

Three
Month Period Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to Three Month Period Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $343,639, compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the continued ramp of wholesale distribution sales of SCN-102 (ARBLI™) following its commercial launch. Gross product sales for the quarter were $392,700, which were reduced by $49,061 of wholesale distribution fees, rebates and chargebacks to arrive at net revenues. All ARBLI™ product sales in the quarter were made through three national wholesale distributors — McKesson Corporation, Cencora and Cardinal Health — with McKesson accounting for approximately two-thirds of gross product sales. While we expect ARBLI™ revenues to continue to grow as prescription demand and payor coverage build, quarterly revenues may fluctuate with wholesaler ordering patterns and with the level of rebates, chargebacks and distribution fees, which will vary with payor and channel mix. Two of these distributors accounted for approximately 84% and 82% of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively (see “Concentration of Credit Risks and Major Customers” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). We expect this concentration to continue, and the loss of, or a material reduction in purchases by, any of these distributors could materially and adversely affect our revenues and cash flows.
Revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $56,325, compared to $10,258 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of
$46,067. The increase was primarily attributable to the continued ramp of wholesale distribution sales of SCN-102 (ARBLI™) following
its commercial launch.
Cost
of goods sold for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, was $2,475,$7,860, compared to $9,585$0 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, resulting
in gross profit of $53,850$335,779 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to gross profit of $673$0 for the three months ended March
31,June 30, 2025.
Wage
and salary expense decreased by $276,060$362,328 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 to $420,008$411,411, compared to $696,068$773,739 for the
comparable comparable
period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower headcount following the disposition of legacy subsidiaries in
April 2025. Following the dispositions, our workforce is concentrated in a small number of research and development, commercial
and administrative personnel, and we have engaged a contract commercial organization — the cost of which is reflected in professional
fees — in lieu of building an internal sales force.
Professional fees increased by $753,989 to $963,752 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $209,763 for the comparable period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to outsourced commercial costs supporting the launch of ARBLI™ — including our contract commercial organization, sales training, market access consulting, pharmacy and sample fulfillment services, and commercial data purchases — which had no counterpart in the prior-year quarter. We expect professional fees to remain elevated relative to prior-year periods for as long as we commercialize ARBLI™ through an outsourced commercial model.
Professional
fees increased by $519,702 to $932,552 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $412,850 for the comparable period in 2025.
The increase was primarily attributable to higher external consulting fees during the 2026 period.
Accounting
