  1. Business Report of 2025:

Merida Industry Co. Ltd. Business Report for the Year 2025

According to the statistical report by the Taiwan Bicycle Association (TBA), the total export volume and value of Taiwan's bicycle industry—including e-bikes and traditional bicycles—in 2025 decreased by 19% and 17% year-over-year (YoY), respectively. This indicates that the overall industry last year was still in the post-pandemic phase of channel inventory realignment and demand correction. Furthermore, the combined impact of rising international geopolitical risks, fluctuations in global shipping costs, inflationary pressures, and adjustments in the supply of certain key components led to a synchronized decline in both export volume and value. Against this backdrop, companies continued to optimize inventory and adjust product portfolios. While market price competition eased compared to previous periods, it remained stressful. Companies also simultaneously strengthened cash flow management and operational efficiency, accelerating inventory destocking through promotional activities and product strategy adjustments. Overall, the industry is gradually approaching the end of the inventory adjustment cycle. Although market confidence remains cautious, there are signs of stabilization, laying the groundwork for future demand replenishment.

In 2025, due to the slowdown in domestic consumer demand in China, the sales volume and revenue of our own-brand bicycles in the Chinese market decreased by 39% and 52% YoY, respectively. Meanwhile, our Taiwan plant, which primarily exports high-end bicycles to the European and North American markets, was still affected by channel inventory destocking. However, driven by product structure optimization and an increased proportion of high-unit-price bicycle shipments, the export volume decreased by 3% YoY, while the export value increased by 6% YoY. The annual consolidated and standalone (referring to the Taiwan plant) sales volumes were 1.03 million units and 370,000 units (including approximately 170,000 e-bikes), representing YoY decreases of 28% and 3%, respectively. The annual consolidated and standalone revenues were NT$26.7 billion and NT$19.3 billion, representing a YoY decrease of 10% and an increase of 6%, respectively. Facing this market correction period, the Company continued to focus on strengthening operational resilience and improving efficiency. We prudently controlled the pace of production and sales, dynamically adjusted production plans, and accelerated the optimization of our inventory structure. Concurrently, we actively invested in the R&D and technological advancement of high-end bicycle models to enhance product competitiveness. On the sustainability front, we also continued to promote plastic reduction in product packaging and


carbon reduction management within the supply chain. Through these strategies, we managed to maintain robust operations amidst a volatile market environment.

We sincerely thank all shareholders and directors for their staunch support, as well as all employees for their concerted efforts and hard work. Looking ahead, although the global economic market still faces challenges, as inventory adjustments are gradually completed and market structures optimized, the Company will continue to deepen product competitiveness and strengthen business management. We will work hand in hand with our customers, suppliers, and partners to steadily embrace the next phase of growth opportunities and stride toward our goal of sustainable operations!

The consolidated and standalone operating conditions of the Company for the year 2025 are hereby reported as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Merida Industry Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Merida Industry Co., Ltd. (the Corporation), which comprise the parent corporation only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent corporation only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent corporation only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "parent corporation only financial statements").

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying parent corporation only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent corporation only financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its parent corporation only financial performance and its parent corporation only 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 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 parent corporation only Consolidated 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. Based on our audits and the report of other auditors, 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 parent corporation only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent corporation only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.


The key audit matter identified in the parent corporation only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:

Revenue Recognition

The Corporation’s sales revenue mainly comes from the manufacture and sales of bicycles, e-bikes, and bicycle components. Since revenue from the export sales of e-bikes for the year ended December 31, 2025 accounted for a significant proportion of sales revenue, recognition of export sales revenue from the sale of e-bikes has been identified as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies on the recognition of sales revenue, refer to Note 4.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of revenue recognition include the following:

  1. We obtained an understanding of and evaluated the design and appropriateness of implementation of the internal controls related to the recognition of sales revenue and the operating procedures and risks related to revenue collection. We also tested the continuous effectiveness of its related procedures during the year.
  2. We obtained the sales revenue receipts from the export of e-bikes, sampled the orders, and subsequently recognized the documents and receipt vouchers related to sales revenue and verified the occurrence of the sales revenue recognized.

Other Matter

We did not audit the part of the investments accounted for using the equity method that were evaluated in the parent corporation only financial statements, which is consistent with the U.S. GAAP financial reporting structures. This part has been audited by other accountants in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. We have applied all necessary audit procedures on the conversion adjustments made to the financial statements of the Corporation, and in our opinion, such financial statements present fairly and are in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In our opinion, the amounts relating to the abovementioned adjusted financial statements are based on the reports of other auditors and are the results of additional audit procedures performed in order to meet the relevant requirements of the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. The balance of the long-term investments accounted for using the equity method was NT$15,970,171 thousand and NT$15,770,662 thousand, accounting for 52% and 49% of the Corporation’s total assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The share of profit (loss) of associates was NT$99,329 thousand and NT$(4,046,255) thousand, accounting for 7% and 435% of the Corporation’s net income (loss) before tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the parent corporation only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent corporation only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent corporation only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

18


In preparing the parent corporation only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent corporation only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent corporation only 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 parent corporation only 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:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent corporation only 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.

  2. 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 Corporation’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 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 Corporation’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 parent corporation only 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 Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent corporation only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent corporation only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

19


  1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the parent corporation only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the 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 parent corporation only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 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 Shao-Chun Wu and Done-Yuin Tseng.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Merida Industry Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Merida Industry Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 Consolidated 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, 2025. 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.


The key audit matter identified in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:

Revenue Recognition

The Group’s sales revenue mainly comes from the manufacture and sale of bicycles, e-bikes, and bicycle components. Since revenue from the export sales of e-bikes for the year ended December 31, 2025 accounted for a significant proportion of sales revenue, recognition of export sales revenue from the sale of e-bikes has been identified as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies on the recognition of sales revenue, refer to Note 4.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of revenue recognition include the following:

  1. We obtained an understanding of and evaluated the design and appropriateness of implementation of the internal controls related to the recognition of sales revenue and the operating procedures and risks related to revenue collection. We also tested the continuous effectiveness of its related procedures during the year.
  2. We obtained the sales revenue receipts from the export of e-bikes, sampled the orders, and subsequently recognized the documents and receipt vouchers related to sales revenue and verified the occurrence of the sales revenue recognized.

Other Matter

We did not audit the part of the investments accounted for using equity method that were evaluated in the financial statements of the Group, which is consistent with the U.S. GAAP financial reporting structures. This part has been audited by other accountants in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. We have applied all necessary audit procedures on the conversion adjustments made to the financial statements of the Group, and in our opinion, such financial statements present fairly and are 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. In our opinion, the amounts relating to the abovementioned adjusted financial statements are based on the reports of other auditors and are the results of additional audit procedures performed in order to meet the relevant requirements of the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. The balance of the long-term investments accounted for using the equity method was NT$15,970,171 thousand and NT$15,770,662 thousand, accounting for 45% and 42% of the Group’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The share of profit (loss) of associates was NT$99,329 thousand and NT$(4,046,255) thousand, accounting for 6% and 552% of the Group’s consolidated net income (loss) before tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Merida Industry Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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.

28


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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

29


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, 2025 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 Shao-Chun Wu and Done-Yuin Tseng.

Before the end of procedure (including extempore motion) for the agenda scheduled in preceding 2 paragraphs, the chairperson cannot declare the meeting adjourned without resolution.

After the meeting is ended, the shareholders cannot reelect the chairperson to continue the meeting at the original venue or other venues. However, if the chairperson violates the rules of procedure and declare to end the meeting, one person may be elected as the chairperson under the consent of half of the attended shareholders with voting rights for the meeting being continued.

When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.

Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS. However, a proposal with no objection from all attending shareholders as inquired by the chair may be deemed as adopted, with the force equivalent to voting; where there is any objection(including exercising the objection or abstention against the vote by correspondence or electronically), a poll by shareholders shall be held.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required. Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company.

Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted

55


in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, the names of those elected as directors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected, and the names of directors not elected and number of votes they received, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, the Company shall disclose real-time results of votes and election immediately after the end of the voting session on the virtual meeting platform according to the regulations, and this disclosure shall continue at least 15 minutes after the chair has announced the meeting adjourned.

When the Company convenes a hybrid shareholders meeting, if shareholders who have registered to attend the meeting online in accordance with Article 2 decide to attend the physical shareholders meeting in person, they shall revoke their registration two days before the shareholders meeting in the same manner as they registered. If their registration is not revoked within the time limit, they may only attend the shareholders meeting online.

When shareholders exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, unless they have withdrawn the declaration of intent and attended the shareholders meeting online, except for extraordinary motions, they will not exercise voting rights on the original proposals or make any amendments to the original proposals or exercise voting rights on amendments to the original proposal.

When the Company convenes a hybrid shareholders meeting, and the virtual meeting cannot continue due to force majeure events and the obstruction continues for more than 30 minutes, if the total number of shares represented at the meeting, after deducting those represented by shareholders attending the virtual shareholders meeting online, still meets the minimum legal requirement for a shareholder meeting, then the shareholders meeting shall continue, and not postponement or resumption thereof under applicable provisions is required.

Article 18 The chairperson may direct the picket (or security) to help maintain order of meeting place. The picketer (or security) who helps maintaining order on site shall wear the armband with the word "picketer".

Article 19 The matters not covered in this regulation shall be handled in accordance with the Company Act or other relevant regulations.
