Market risk (Item 3)
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-11
Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash deposits and money market accounts, which are subject to interest rate fluctuations. While these interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk, historical fluctuations in interest income have not been material.
Our bonds payable bear fixed rates and are not publicly traded, limiting exposure to interest rate volatility. However, our project finance loans in China include an interest rate spread of 115 basis points over the Loan Prime Rate in China, making them sensitive to market interest rate changes. Fut…
We are exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of our significant sales and operational presence in China and our sales activities within the European region. Consequently, a substantial portion of our transactions and monetary assets are denominated in the Chinese Renminbi and the Euro. The vo…
Our foreign exchange gains and losses primarily arise from the translation of cash balances, trade accounts receivable and payable, and intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.
To assess our exposure, we considered the historical trends in foreign currency exchange rates and determined that it is reasonably possible that adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates of 10% for all currencies could be experienced in the near term. These changes were applied to our tota…

At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our results of operations.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
