This proposal is planned to be implemented after approval at the 2024 annual general meeting and subsequent confirmation by the regulatory authorities. The proposal entails authorizing the Board of Directors to set the ex-rights and ex-dividend dates separately. According to the shareholders' register as of the ex-rights date, approximately 50 shares will be distributed for every 1,000 shares held. Shareholders who hold fractional shares after the distribution may consolidate their shares with the Company's share registrar within five days from the record date. Any fractional shares remaining after the consolidation, or that are insufficient to constitute a full share, will be converted into cash at face value up to the nearest unit of currency (with fractions below the unit disregarded). Additionally, the chairman is authorized to negotiate with specific individuals for the purchase of fractional shares at face value.

In this case of a capital surplus capital increase and new share issuance, the number of outstanding shares will be calculated based on the date of the Board of Directors' resolution.

The issuance of new shares in this capital increase carries the same rights and obligations as the originally issued shares.

In the event that any matters related to this capital increase proposal require amendment due to legal regulations, regulatory approval, or changes in operational assessments in response to objective circumstances, the Board of Directors will seek authorization from the shareholders' meeting to have full authority in handling such changes.

Dyaco International Inc.
2023 Business Report
Dear shareholders:
First of all, thank you for your long-term support and love for Dyaco International Inc. In 2023, factors such as high interest rates, elevated inflation, and weaker-than-expected postpandemic economic performance in China contributed to a global slowdown in demand for end products. This slowdown was further exacerbated by a deceleration in manufacturing activities across various countries. Additionally, the expansion of the US-China chip embargo, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the ongoing tensions in the Middle East have contributed to geopolitical tensions characterized by bloc confrontations, further impacting global economic development and social stability. Looking ahead to 2024, both the United States and China, the two major economies, continue to face challenges in consumption and investment. While other major economies, such as Europe, are expected to recover, the economic performance of emerging markets and developing economies surpasses that of 2023. However, the weak economic situation of the United States and China is unlikely to maintain, and therefore, international forecasting institutions believe that while global economic growth in 2024 will be slightly lower than 2023, but nevertheless, there is still an expectation of a revival in global commodity trade. This will help stabilize Taiwan's foreign trade performance.
Dyaco Group must comprehensively transform and enhance its competitiveness, including accelerating product development, responsiveness to market changes, responding to user needs, promoting employee innovation, and improving operational efficiency, which are our urgent goals. Here is a report on the 2023 business results, the 2024 business plan, and future development strategies:
I. 2023 Business Report
- (I) Business Plan Implementation Results
The global fitness equipment sales market has been suppressed due to the global economic downturn, industry inventory adjustments, and continuous price increases that have made consumers more cautious in their spending behavior. Despite these challenges, Dyaco remains committed to business growth. In the 2023 fiscal year, overall operating revenue increased by 9% compared to the same period last year. However, due to rising expenses and market competition, the expense ratio did not decrease, resulting in a net loss of NT$110 million after tax, with a loss per share of NT$0.88.
- (II)Budget Implementation Status
The Company did not disclose financial forecasts for 2023, the overall operating
8
performance was affected by the economic environment and market competition, and did not meet the Company's internally formulated business plans.

13
in corporate resources and capture more market opportunities.

Note 5 : Please describe the policies, systems, standards, and structure of independent directors’ remuneration, and explain the relevance with the amount of remuneration based on their responsibilities, risks, and time investment:
-
Pursuant to Article 24 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the remuneration of the directors of the Company shall be distributed at a rate not exceeding 5% of the profitability of the current year. The procedures for determining remuneration shall be subject to the regulations on the Company's Board of Directors' self-evaluation or peer review. Article 21 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation states that the compensation of directors shall be determined by the Remuneration Committee regarding the extent of their participation in and contribution to the operations, with the reasonable fairness of performance risks linked to the compensation received, and the Board of Directors authorized to make payments in accordance with the Remuneration Committee's assessment and the usual standards of the industry.
-
The Company's Articles of Incorporation also stipulate that director remuneration shall not exceed 5% of annual profits. Therefore, the Company adheres to the provisions of the Remuneration Committee Charter and is reviewed by the Committee. The principles of remuneration distribution are as follows: (1) Taking into account the operating performance of the current year, with priority given to the interests of shareholders and employees; (2) Independent directors serving on functional committees bear responsibilities for participating in committee meetings and decisions, hence their remuneration is higher than that of general directors. In the fiscal year 2023, the Company's net loss before tax after deducting employee and director remuneration amounted to NT$148,100,747. In accordance with Article 24 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, it is proposed that no director remuneration be distributed due to the absence of profits for the year.
Note 6 : Except for the disclosure above, remuneration paid to the Company’s directors for their services to all the companies listed in the financial statements (e.g., serving as a non-employee adviser): None.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Dyaco International Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Dyaco International Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
23
The descriptions for the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Impairment of Goodwill
According to IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is subject to an annual impairment test by comparing its carrying amount (including attributable goodwill) with its recoverable amount. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of goodwill held by the Group was $560,815 thousand, which represented 4.97% of the total assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The impairment test of goodwill involves significant accounting judgments and estimates made by management, especially when estimating the future cash flows and discount rates used to calculate the present value of a cash-generating unit. Thus, the impairment test of goodwill was considered to be a key audit matter. For the accounting policies on impairment of goodwill and the related significant accounting judgments and estimates, refer to Notes 4-k and 5-b. The cash-generating unit of goodwill from business combination and basic assumptions of estimated recoverable amount have been disclosed in Note 18, including the projected future cash flows and discount rates (weighted average cost of capital).
We assessed the professional skills, competencies, and objectivity of independent appraisers hired by management, and also verified the qualifications of appointed appraisers. In addition, we confirmed that nothing would affect the objectivity or restriction of job duties by discussing the job scope and reviewing conditions of appointment with management. We checked whether the method used by independent appraisers was in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS).
We assessed management’s judgments based on the opinion of our financial advisor, especially with regard to material assumptions (including the prediction of future cash flows and discount rates) used by management to confirm the appropriateness of management’s judgments. Our primary audit procedures performed included the following:
-
We tested the data used to estimate recoverable amount of goodwill, such as historical operating revenue, revenue growth rate and gross margin for assessing the reasonableness of assumptions.
-
We compared the budgeted amounts with actual operating results of the Group in 2023 when considering the assessment of reliability prediction for 2024 and future years in order to assess the accuracy of management’s historical predictions.
-
We checked if there were significant differences between the weighted average cost of capital calculated by using the same valuation method and the weighted average cost of capital adopted by the Group to confirm that management applied the appropriate discount rates for assessing goodwill impairment.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Dyaco International Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
24
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
25
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chien-Hsin Hsieh and Wan-I Liao.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
27
The descriptions for the key audit matters of the financial statements are as follows:
Evaluation of Impairment Loss on Goodwill from the Subsidiaries Which Are Accounted for by Using the Equity Method
The book value of the subsidiaries which are accounted for using the equity method included the goodwill on acquisition of Dongguan Dayu Sports Equipment Co., Ltd., Shelton Corporation (Jiaxing), Ltd., CARDIO fitness GmbH & Co. KG, Dyaco Canada Inc., Fitness Equipment Services, LLC., CITY SPORTS (THAILAND) CO., LTD., Neutron Ventures Ltd. and IUVO Industry Co., Ltd. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of goodwill was $560,815 thousand. According to IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is subject to an annual impairment test by comparing its carrying amount (including attributable goodwill) with its recoverable amount. The impairment test of goodwill impairment involves significant accounting judgments and estimates made by management, especially when estimating the future cash flows and discount rates used to calculate the present value of a cash-generating unit. Thus, the impairment test of goodwill was considered to be a key audit matter. For the accounting policies, significant accounting judgments and estimates related to goodwill, refer to Notes 4-f and 5-b. The cash-generating unit of goodwill arising from business combination and basic assumptions of estimated recoverable amount have been disclosed in Note 13-b, including the projected future cash flows and discount rates (weighted average cost of capital).
We assessed the professional skills, competencies, and objectivity of independent appraisers hired by management, and also verified the qualifications of appointed appraisers. In addition, we confirmed that nothing would affect the objectivity or restriction of job duties by discussing the job scope and reviewing conditions of appointment with management. We checked whether the method used by the independent appraisers was in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS).
We assessed management’s judgments based on the opinion of our financial advisor, especially with regard to material assumptions, (including the prediction of future cash flows and discount rates) used by management to confirm the appropriateness of management’s judgments. Our primary audit procedures performed included the following:
-
We tested the data used to estimate recoverable amount of goodwill, such as historical operating revenue, revenue growth rate and gross margin for assessing the reasonableness of assumptions.
-
We compared the budgeted amounts with actual operating results of the Corporation in 2023 when considering the assessment of reliability prediction for 2024 and future years in order to assess the accuracy of management’s historical predictions.
-
We checked if there were significant differences between the weighted average cost of capital calculated by using the same valuation method and the weighted average cost of capital adopted by the Corporation to confirm that management applied the appropriate discount rates for assessing goodwill impairment.
