Concentration of Risk [Abstract]

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

15. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

(a) Exchange rate risks

FST Taiwan and the Group’s subsidiary in Japan may be exposed to significant currency risks from exchange rate fluctuations and the degree of foreign exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the TWD, and between the U.S. Dollar and the JPY. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the TWD denominated cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $1,806,939 and $1,227,189, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the JPY denominated cash and cash equivalents amounted to $169,939 and $105,373, respectively.

(b) Liquidity risks

The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, which is the risk it will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. The Group is also exposed to liquidity risk on the repayment of matured bank borrowings. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, short-term bank loans amounted to $15,265,739 and $14,236,270, respectively. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Group may turn to bank and other financial institutions to take loans to meet liquidity shortages.

(c) Interest rate risk

The Group is subject to interest rate risk. Bank interest bearing loans are charged at variable interest rates within the reporting period. The Group is subject to the risk of adverse changes in the interest rates charged by the banks when these loans are refinanced.

(d) Credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Group conducts credit evaluations of its customers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Group evaluates its collection experience and long outstanding balances to determine the need for an allowance for credit losses. The Group conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
