Dispositions

MMS APA

On February 16, 2024, the Company, together with Softell and Micro Merchant Systems, Inc. (“MMS”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “MMS APA”) under which MMS agreed to purchase for cash substantially all of the assets of Softell. On February 16, 2024, the parties consummated the closing of the transactions contemplated by the MMS APA. Softell operated a web-based market platform designed to enable trading among healthcare buyers and sellers of pharmaceuticals, accessories and services. The purchase price paid at closing was $22,660,182. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the MMS APA, because MMS received $1,600,000 or greater in certain collections from third parties resulting from any products or services sold, or provided, by the business assets and operations acquired from Softell during the period ending on the four-month anniversary of the closing date, the Company was due an additional $7,500,000 payment from MMS. The Company received the $7,500,000 in May 2024.

Superlatus SPA

On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Superlatus SPA”) with Superlatus Foods Inc. (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Superlatus SPA, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of Superlatus to the Buyer. The $1.00 purchase price for the stock 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 ceased to be 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.

See Note 3 for further detail on the dispositions.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Scienture LLC, TRxADE Health, Inc., Softell, Integra Pharma Solutions, Inc., and Bonum Health. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the SEC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from its estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 include the valuation of intangible assets, including goodwill, valuation of derivative liabilities and gain (losses) on dispositions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

●Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
●Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities approximate their fair value because of their short-term maturity. The Company’s notes payables approximate the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

The Company’s derivative liability is a Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 10.

Stock Split

Effective June 21, 2023, the Company executed a 1:15 reverse stock split for stockholders of record on that date. This was executed to comply with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) to have the price of the stock above $1.00.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosure of significant expenses that are regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker and the nature of segment expense information used to manage operations. The new guidance is effective for all public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes(Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a quantitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for non-public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted for both. The Company will adopt the new standard in annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2025, and is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Major Customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. Deposits are insured to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp limits. During years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no sales to customers represented greater than 10% of revenue.

Accounts Receivable, net

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and its related amendments using the prospective method. The new standard requires the use of a current expected credit loss impairment model to develop and recognize credit losses for financial instruments at amortized cost when the asset is first originated or acquired, and each subsequent reporting period.

The Company’s receivables are from customers and are typically collected within 90 days. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.

Other Receivables

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, other receivables are $4,138,770 and $1,224,702. As of December 31, 2024, other receivables primarily consist of short-term advances to related parties including Wellgistics Health, Inc. (f/k/a Danam Health Inc.) and Tollo Health, Inc.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has $534,800 and $0, respectively, capitalized deferred offering costs. See Note 11.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for acquisitions and investments in businesses as business combinations if the target meets the definition of a business and (a) the target is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company is the target’s primary beneficiary, and therefore the Company must consolidate its financial statements, or (b) the Company acquires more than 50% of the voting interest of the target and it was not previously consolidated. The Company records business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate purchase price consideration between assets that are depreciated and amortized from goodwill. The fair value assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Significant assumptions and estimates include, but are not limited to, the cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital, and the cost savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset, if applicable.

If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements may be exposed to potential impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill.

If the Company’s investment involves the acquisition of an asset or group of assets that does not meet the definition of a business, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is recorded at cost, which includes capitalizing transaction costs, and does not result in the recognition of goodwill.

On July 25, 2024, the Company acquired intangible assets of $76,400,000 and recognized goodwill of $21,372,960 pursuant to the Scienture acquisition (see Note 3). The acquired goodwill represents the value in excess of the net assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date.

Goodwill

Goodwill is an asset representing the excess cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. In accordance with Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or on an interim basis when indicators of potential impairment exist. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting units discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the applicable reporting units based on the reporting structure.

The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors assessed for each of the applicable reporting units include, but are not limited to, changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, discount rates, competitive environments and financial performance of the reporting units. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required.

The Company also has the option to proceed directly to the quantitative test. Under the quantitative impairment test, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to the excess would be recognized, up to a maximum amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Management can resume the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period for any reporting unit.

As of December 31, 2024, management performed a qualitative impairment assessment of our reporting units, of which there were no indications that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units were less than their respective carrying values. As such, a quantitative goodwill test was not required, and no goodwill impairment was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Intangible Assets

In connection with the Scienture acquisition, the Company identified product technologies assets. The product technologies represent a broad range of novel product candidates including new potential treatments for hypertension, migraine, pain and thrombosis and other related disorders. Each of the product technologies are in various phases of development and had not achieved regulatory approval as of the valuation date.

The product technologies are 505(b)(2) products and represent modifications and new delivery methods of already approved drugs (rather than novel drug compounds/formulations/treatments which require significant regulatory approvals and testing). These assets should be amortized over their expected remaining economic life. The product technology assets will remain unamortized, subject to potential impairment testing, until the assets are placed in service, which is when commercialization of the product commences. At that point, the assets will be amortized over their expected remaining life (likely a period of 15-20 years based on the patent lives).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

The Company did not record an impairment charge for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Investments

The Company accounts for investments that it does not control using the cost method, equity method or fair value method, as applicable. Investments in companies in which the Company owns less than a 20% equity interest and where it does not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of these investments to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below carrying value. A variety of factors are considered when determining if a decline in fair value below carrying value is other-than-temporary, including, among others, the financial condition and business prospects of the investee, as well as the Company’s investment intent. Cost method investments are carried at cost, which approximates or is less than fair value. Dividends received by the Company are recognized in equity (losses) earnings of affiliates, net of tax on the consolidated statements of operations.

On February 29, 2024, Softell entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Lafayette Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Lafayette”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Softell will, in two equal tranches, invest a total of up to $5,000,000 in Lafayette in exchange for up to 2,000,000 shares of Lafayette’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with the second tranche becoming payable only upon Softell’s receipt of notice that Lafayette has successfully drilled its first oil and gas well and produced at least one hundred (100) barrels of oil.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the financial condition and business prospects of Lafayette, and determined there was an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below carrying value. As such, the Company recognized an impairment of $2,500,000.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock option forfeitures are recognized at the date of employee termination. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 for the accounting of share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Research & Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development. These expenses consist of independent contractor costs, costs for outsourced analytical research and development activities, batch manufacturing cost and, advisory costs as a part of research, market research costs and other regulatory consulting costs.

Income (loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed similar to basic net income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The dilutive effect of the Company’s options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method. As of December 31, 2024, we had 238,594 warrants to purchase shares of common stock,15,759 shares of Series B preferred stock and 23,930 options to purchase shares of common stock, all outstanding

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

Income taxes

The Company’s benefit / (provision) for income taxes was $534,396 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The income tax provisions for these periods are based upon estimates of annual income (loss), annual permanent differences and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. For all periods presented, the Company utilized net operating loss carryforwards to offset the impact of any taxable income. The Company’s tax rate differs from the applicable statutory rates due primarily to the establishment of a valuation allowance, utilization of deferred and the effect of permanent differences and adjustments.

NOTE 2 –GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $39,038,973 and $308,096 in cash.

We will need to raise additional capital or secure debt funding to support on-going operations, and to fund the assets and operations of any businesses or assets we acquire. The sources of this capital are expected to be the sale of equity and debt, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues, our financial position, and liquidity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unless management is able to obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 –ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Scienture, Inc.

The Company evaluated the Scienture Merger Agreement pursuant to ASC 805 and ASU 2017-01,Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company first determined that Scienture met the definition of a business as it includes inputs and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Scienture’s results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at their estimated respective fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. Goodwill recognized in connection with this transaction represents primarily the potential economic benefits that the Company believes may arise from the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and could be significantly revised as a result of additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed and revisions of estimates of fair values of tangible assets and related deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company will finalize its valuation and the allocation of the purchase price, along with required retrospective adjustments, if any, within a year following the acquisition date.

On July 25, 2024, the Company issued 291,536 shares of common stock and 6,826,753 shares of Series X Preferred Stock pursuant to the Scienture Merger Agreement. The aggregate fair value of the purchase price consideration was $78,646,184. The fair value was determined by the underlying stock price of the common stock on the date of the Scienture Merger, which was $11.63 per share, which was utilized for both the issuance of common and preferred stock after evaluating the terms of the Series X Preferred Stock. The Company also applied a discount for lack of marketability of 5% due to certain lock-up terms on the shares issued.

The following summarizes the purchase price consideration and the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date:

Purchase consideration:
Common stock$3,221,245
Series X preferred stock75,424,939
Total purchase consideration$78,646,184
Purchase price allocation:
Cash$132,976
Operating lease right-of-use assets61,578
Goodwill21,372,960
Intangible assets - product technologies76,400,000
Accounts payable(987,097)
Accrued liabilities(1,198,134)
Loan payable, related party(265,000)
Lease liability(61,886)
Development agreement liability(1,285,000)
Long-term convertible notes(2,000,000)
Deferred tax liability(13,524,213)
Net assets acquired$78,646,184

Goodwill is primarily attributable to the go-to-market synergies that are expected to arise as a result of the acquisition and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The results of Scienture have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Scienture’s revenue and net loss included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date through December 31, 2024 were $0 and a loss of $3,509,597, respectively.

Superlatus, Inc.

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

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

Dispositions and Divestitures

Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC and Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC

On August 22, 2023, the Company and Wood Sage, LLC (“Wood Sage”) entered into (i) a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “APS MIPA”), pursuant to which the Company sold its 100% membership interest in Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC (“APS”) for consideration of a $125,000 promissory note (the “APS Sale Price”) and (ii) a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “CSP MIPA”), pursuant to which the Company sold 100% of the membership interest in Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC (“CSP”) in exchange for a $100,000 promissory note (the “CSP Sale Price”). As a result, the results of APS and CSP were classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the year ended December 31, 2023.

As part of recognizing the business as held for sale in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company was required to measure APS and CSP at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As a result of this analysis, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax loss on disposal of $3,300,225. The loss is included in “Net loss from discontinued operations” in the consolidated statements of operations. The loss was determined by comparing the fair value of the consideration received for the sale of a 100% interest in APS and CSP with the net assets of APS and CSP, respectively, immediately prior to the transaction.

As a result of the transactions, the following assets and liabilities of APS and CSP were transferred to Wood Sage as of August 22, 2023:

NOTE 8 –GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In connection with the Scienture Merger on July 25, 2024, the Company recorded goodwill of $21,372,960 and intangible assets of $76,400,000.

The purchase price allocation of intangible assets was evaluated under ASC 805. The identified intangible assets were determined to be product technologies, and were valued accordingly by each product candidate:

Product CandidateFair Value
SCN-102(a)$23,600,000
SCN-104(b)25,000,000
SCN-106(c)15,000,000
SCN-107(d)12,800,000
Intangible Assets$76,400,000
(a)Management expects SCN-102 to achieve regulatory approval in late 2024, with product commercialization projected to begin in 2025.
(b)Management expects SCN-104 to achieve regulatory approval in late 2025 or early 2026, with product commercialization projected to begin in 2026.
(c)Management expects SCN-106 to achieve regulatory approval in 2027 or 2028, with product commercialization projected to begin in 2028.
(d)Management expects SCN-107 to achieve regulatory approval in 2028 or 2029, with product commercialization projected to begin in 2029.

The fair value of the product technologies was determined by the Income Approach: Multi-Period Excess Earnings Methods (“MPEEM”). The MPEEM measures economic benefits by calculating the cash flows attributable to an asset after deducting appropriate returns for contributory assets used by the business in generating the asset’s revenue and earnings. The MPEEM utilized revenue and cash flow projections through 2030 based on each product candidate’s phase of development. Key assumptions include a 2% long-term revenue growth rate and 3% contributory asset charge rate. The Company discounted the expected future cash flows at a 53.0% rate of return, equal to the weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) plus 10%, to reflect the risk of the cash flows related to the product technologies. The Company then summed the present values of the estimated future cash flows and included an amortization tax benefit to the value indication of each of the product technologies.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not begun amortizing any of the product technology intangible assets.

NOTE 9 –CONTINGENT FUNDING LIABILITIES

On December 13, 2023, the Company entered into a non-recourse funding agreement with a third-party for the purchase and sale of future receivables (the “December Receivables Agreement”). Pursuant to the December Receivables Agreement, the third party agreed to fund the Company $150,000 to purchase $214,500 of future receivables. The Company also paid $7,500 as a one-time origination fee in connection with the December Receivables Agreement. This agreement was fully paid off in February 2024.

On November 22, 2023, the Company entered into a non-recourse funding agreement with a third-party for the purchase and sale of future receivables (the “November Receivables Agreement”). Pursuant to the November Receivables Agreement, the third party agreed to fund the Company $275,000 to purchase $393,250 of future receivables. The Company also paid $13,750 as a one-time origination fee in connection with the November Receivables Agreement. This agreement was fully paid off in February 2024.

On October 25, 2023, the Company entered into a non-recourse funding agreement with a third-party for the purchase and sale of future receivables (the “October Receivables Agreement”). Pursuant to the October Receivables Agreement, the third party agreed to fund the Company $1,200,000 to purchase $1,728,000 of future receivables. The Company also paid $60,000 as a one-time origination fee in connection with the October Receivables Agreement. This agreement was fully paid off in February 2024.

The Company’s relationship with the funding source meets the criteria in ASC 470-10-25 – Sales of Future Revenues or Various Other Measures of Income (“ASC 470”), which relates to cash received from a funding source in exchange for a specified percentage or amount of revenue or other measure of income of a particular product line, business segment, trademark, patent or contractual right for a defined period. Under this guidance, the Company recognized the fair value of its contingent obligation to the funding source, as of the acquisition date, as a current liability in its consolidated balance sheet.

Under ASC 470, amounts recorded as debt are to be amortized under the interest method. The Company made an accounting policy election to utilize the prospective method when there is a change in the estimated future cash flows, whereby a new effective interest rate is determined based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize interest expense for the remaining period. Under this method, the effective interest rate is not constant, and any change in expected cash flows is recognized prospectively as an adjustment to the effective yield. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the total contingent funding liability was $0 and $1,246,346 respectively, and the effective interest rate was approximately 0% and 31%, respectively. This rate represents the discount rate that equates the estimated future cash flows with the fair value of the debt and is used to compute the amount of interest to be recognized each period. Any future payments made to the funding source will decrease the contingent funding liability balance accordingly.

NOTE 10 –CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible Debenture – Arena

On November 22, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Arena Finance Markets, LP (“Arena Finance”), Arena Special Opportunities Partners III, LP (“ASOP” and, together with Arena Finance, the “Arena Investors”). Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue 10% original issue discount secured convertible debentures (“Debentures”) in a principal amount of up to $12,222,222, divided into up to three separate tranches that are each subject to certain closing conditions. The conversion price per share of each Debenture is equal to 92.5% of the lowest daily VWAP (as defined in the Debentures) of the Company’s shares of common stock during the five trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable conversion notice, subject to adjustments related to the trading price of the Company’s common stock.

The closing of the first tranche was consummated on November 25, 2024 (the “First Closing”) and the Company issued to the Arena Investors Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $3,333,333 (the “First Closing Debentures”). The First Closing Debentures were sold to the Arena Investors for a purchase price of $3,000,000, representing an original issue discount of ten percent (10%). The convertible debenture will be matured eighteen months from the date first closing.

The First Closing Debentures contain customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, until it is cured, the holder may increase the interest rate applicable to the First Closing Debentures to two percent (2%) per annum and accelerate the full indebtedness under the First Closing Debentures, in an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest. Subject to limited exceptions set forth in the First Closing Debentures, the First Closing Debentures prohibit the Company and, as applicable, its subsidiaries from incurring any new indebtedness that is not subordinated to the Arena Investors and, as applicable, any subsidiary’s obligations in respect of the First Closing Debentures until the First Closing Debentures are paid in full.

As consideration for the Arena Investors’ consummation of the First Closing, concurrently with the First Closing, the Company issued to each Arena Investor participating in the First Closing its pro rata portion of the 55,000 shares of common stock (the “SPA Commitment Fee Shares”) issued to the Arena Investors as a commitment fee upon the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, as consideration for the Arena Investors’ consummation of subsequent closings, the Company shall issue to the Arena Investors participating in such closing a certain number of Company common stock as agreed upon among the Company and the Arena Investors participating. The fair value of the shares of common stock issued was $420,200, which was included as a debt discount as noted below.

The Company agreed, pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated November 25, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”), to grant the Arena Investors a security interest in all of its assets to secure the prompt payment, performance, and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the Debentures. In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Scienture, LLC, entered into a Guarantee Agreement, dated November 25, 2024 (the “Guarantee”), with the Arena Investors, pursuant to which it agreed to guarantee the prompt payment,

Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture at a rate equal to 10.00% per annum paid in kind (the “PIK Interest”) unless there is an Event of Default, in which case Default Interest shall accrue and be paid instead of PIK Interest. The PIK Interest shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture on a monthly basis as additional principal obligations hereunder and shall automatically and thereafter constitute a part of the outstanding principal amount for all purposes hereof (including the accrual of interest thereon at the rates applicable to the principal amount generally). The Company will not issue additional debentures to represent the PIK Interest. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company accrued $33,333 in interest expense pertaining to the Arena debentures.

As a result of the debentures, the Company recognized an aggregate debt discount of $3,333,333. Through December 31, 2024, $869,692 of the debt discount was amortized to interest expense. At December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the debentures, including the outstanding principal of $3,333,333 less the unamortized discount of $2,721,058, was $612,275. The following is a summary of the Arena Debentures:

Amortization of debt discount612,275
Arena note, net of unamortized debt discount, at December 31, 2024$612,275

Derivative Liability

The Company evaluated the terms of the conversion features of the debentures as noted above in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40,Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock, and determined they are not indexed to the Company’s common stock and that the conversion feature, which is akin to a redemption feature, meet the definition of a liability. The notes contain an indeterminate number of shares to settle with conversion options outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company bifurcated the conversion feature and accounted for it as a separate derivative liability. Upon issuance of the convertible debenture, the Company recognized a derivative liability at a fair value of $2,477,217, which is recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized over the life of the debentures.

The Company measured the derivative liability at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causes it to be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the derivative liability uses assumptions and estimates the Company believes would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation.
