Re: Scienture Holdings, Inc.
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2024
File No. 001-39199
Dear Surendra Ajjarapu:
We have limited our review of your filing to the financial statements
and related
disclosures and have the following comments.
Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the
requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do
not believe a
comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional
comments.
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
Financial Statements
Note 1- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Intangible Assets and Goodwill, page 65
1. You state that you recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $5.1 million
for the year
ended December 31, 2023 resulting from the acquisition of Superlatus
which was
subsequently determined to be impaired based on the facts and
circumstances
surrounding the sale of Superlatus on March 5, 2024. Please explain in
detail in your
response why you did not impair the $9.5 million of intangible assets as
of December
31, 2023 that were acquired from Superlatus, in light of the significant
reduction in
the initial purchase price and the sale of Superlatus for $1.
In future filings, as applicable, please revise your risk factor "Our
acquisitions and
investments in new businesses...", on page 20, to disclose the $5.1
million goodwill
December 20, 2024
Page 2
impairment loss in your discussion regarding the divesture of Superlatus
and the
resulting loss on the disposition.
Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2024
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Results of Operations, page 33
2. We note a significant increase in your research and development expense
from the
prior periods. In future filings, please expand your disclosure to
discuss the costs
incurred during each period presented for each of your key research and
development
product candidates separately. If you do not track your research and
development
costs by project or program, please disclose that fact, and explain why
you do not
maintain and evaluate research and development costs by project or
program. For
amounts that are not tracked by product candidate or program, provide
other
quantitative or qualitative disclosure that provides more transparency
as to the type of
research and development expenses incurred (i.e. by nature or type of
expense), which
should reconcile to total research and development expense on the
statements of
operations. Provide draft disclosure with your response.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition, page 36
3. We note your disclosure stating that IPS is a licensed wholesaler of
brand, generic,
and non-drug products to customers. IPS takes orders for products,
creates invoices
for each order, and recognizes revenue at the time the customer receives
the
product. However, on page 18, you disclose that revenue for your
products is
recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. In future
filings, please
revise your disclosures as necessary to resolve the discrepancy.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for
the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments,
action or absence of action by the staff.
Please contact Tracie Mariner at 202-551-3744 or Sasha Parikh at
202-551-3627 with
any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of
Corporation Finance
Office of Life
Sciences
