(Click to view detailed instructions) ↓
The annual financial statement of the enterprise meets the going concern assumption (Form No. B 01 – DN)
1. Purpose of the Statement of Financial Position
The Statement of Financial Position is a comprehensive financial report that provides an overview of the total value of a company's existing assets and the sources of those assets at a specific point in time. The data in the Statement of Financial Position indicates the total value of a company's existing assets, broken down by asset structure and the structure of the capital sources that formed those assets. Based on the Statement of Financial Position, a general assessment of the company's financial situation can be made.
2. Principles for preparing and presenting the Statement of Financial Position
2.1. According to Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 21 – Presentation of Financial Statements, when enterprises prepare and present the Statement of Financial Position, they must comply with the general principles for the preparation and presentation of financial statements. In addition, on the Statement of Financial Position, Assets and Liabilities must be presented separately as short-term and long-term items as stipulated in Article 20 of this Circular.
2.2. When preparing the consolidated financial statement between the enterprise and its subsidiaries, the enterprise must eliminate all balances of items arising from internal transactions, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, internal loans, etc., between the enterprise and its subsidiaries, and between the subsidiaries themselves.
The technique for excluding internal items when consolidating reports between a business and its subsidiaries is similar to the technique used for consolidating financial statements.
2.3. Indicators without data are exempt from presentation in the Statement of Financial Position. Enterprises should proactively renumber the indicators sequentially within each section, but should not renumber the indicator "Code".
3. Basis for preparing the Statement of Financial Position
– Based on the general ledger;
– Based on detailed accounting ledgers, cards, or detailed summary tables;
– Based on the previous year's financial statement (to present the beginning-of-year column).

b) Indicator “Investments held until maturity” (Code 122)
This indicator reflects the book value of investments held to maturity after revaluation. Enterprises are not required to present the "Provision for investments held to maturity" indicator because the impairment provision is directly deducted from the book value of the investment.
c) Indicators related to investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, associated companies, and other investments are reflected at their book value after revaluation. The enterprise is not required to present the indicator "Provision for long-term investment losses in other entities" because the provision is directly deducted from the book value of the investments.

d) Item “Inventory” Code 140
This indicator reflects the book value of inventory after revaluation. The figures for this indicator include work-in-progress production and business costs, as well as equipment, materials, and spare parts classified as long-term on the financial statements of a going concern. Businesses are not required to present the "Provision for Inventory Devaluation" indicator because the provision for devaluation is directly deducted from the book value of the inventory.
e) Indicators related to tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets, leased fixed assets, biological assets, and investment properties are reflected at their book value after revaluation. Enterprises are not required to present the "Original Cost" indicator because the book value is the revalued price, nor are they required to present the "Accumulated Depreciation" indicator because the depreciation amount has been directly reduced from the book value of the asset.

This indicator reflects basic earnings per share, excluding future issuances that may dilute the share value. This indicator is presented in the financial statements of a joint-stock company that is an independent entity. For a parent company that is a joint-stock company, this indicator is only presented in the consolidated financial statements, not in the parent company's separate financial statements.
In cases where the reward and welfare fund is derived from after-tax profits, the basic earnings per share are determined according to the following formula:
Earnings per share = (Profit or loss attributable to shareholders holding common stock – Amount allocated to employee bonuses and benefits) / Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
The determination of profit or loss attributable to shareholders holding common stock and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period is carried out in accordance with the guidelines of Circular No. 21/2006/TT-BTC dated March 20, 2006 of the Ministry of Finance and any amending or supplementing documents (if any).
The amount allocated to the employee bonus and welfare fund is the estimated amount allocated to the employee bonus and welfare fund in the reporting year. If the approved amount allocated to the employee bonus and welfare fund in the following year differs from the estimated amount for the reporting year, the difference is retroactively adjusted and included in the basic earnings per share of the previous year.
3.21. Diluted earnings per share (Code 71)

For a parent company that is a joint-stock company, this indicator is only presented in the consolidated financial statements, not in the parent company's separate financial statements.
3.21.2. Diluted earnings per share are determined as follows:
Diluted earnings per share = (Profit or loss attributable to shareholders holding common stock – Amount allocated to employee bonuses and benefits) / (Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period + Number of common shares expected to be issued)
The amount allocated to the employee bonus and welfare fund is the estimated amount allocated to the employee bonus and welfare fund in the reporting year. If the approved amount allocated to the employee bonus and welfare fund in the following year differs from the estimated amount for the reporting year, the difference is retroactively adjusted and included in the previous year's diluted earnings per share.
3.21.3. Determine the profit (or loss) attributable to shareholders holding common stock to calculate diluted earnings per share:
| Profits or losses attributable to common stock | = | Profit or loss after corporate income tax. | Downward adjustments | + | Upward adjustments |
If a company presents basic earnings per share in its consolidated financial statements, the net profit or loss after corporate income tax for the period is the net profit or loss after corporate income tax calculated on the basis of consolidated information. If a company presents it in its separate financial statements, the net profit or loss after corporate income tax for the period is the net profit or loss after tax of the company alone.
a) Adjustments that reduce profit or loss after corporate income tax to calculate profit or loss attributable to common stock when determining diluted earnings per share.
– Preferred stock dividends: Preferred stock dividends include non-cumulative preferred stock dividends announced during the reporting period and cumulative preferred stock dividends accrued during the reporting period. Preferred stock dividends are calculated as follows:
| Dividends on preferred stock | = | Dividend yield of preferred stock | x | Par value of preferred shares |
– The greater difference between the fair value of the payment to the holder and the book value of the preferred stock when a joint-stock company repurchases preferred stock from the holder.
– The greater difference between the fair value of common stock or other payments made under favorable conversion conditions at the time of payment and the fair value of common stock issued under the original conversion conditions.
– Dividends or other payments related to common stock that may have a dilutive effect;
– Gains recognized during the period relating to potentially dilutive common stock; and
– Other factors reduce after-tax profit if the conversion of potential common stock has a dilutive effect on the conversion into common stock. For example, the costs of converting convertible bonds into common stock reduce after-tax profit for the period.
b) Identify the adjustments that increase profit or loss after corporate income tax:
– The greater difference between the fair value of the payment to the holder and the book value of preferred stock when a joint-stock company repurchases preferred stock from the holder.
– Factors that increase after-tax profit if converting common stock has a potential negative impact on the company's after-tax profit. For example, converting convertible bonds into common stock reduces the company's interest expense related to the convertible bonds and increases its after-tax profit for the period.
3.21.4. Number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share
The number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share is determined as the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the period plus (+) the weighted average of additional common shares that would be issued if all potentially dilutive common shares were converted into common shares.
a) The determination of the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period shall be carried out in accordance with the guidelines of Circular No. 21/2006/TT-BTC dated March 20, 2006 of the Ministry of Finance and any amendments, supplements, or replacements (if any).
b) Determine the weighted average number of additional common shares to be issued during the period.
Common stock to be issued additionally during the period is considered potential common stock that could dilute earnings per share, including:
– Options to purchase warrants and equivalent instruments;
– Convertible financial instruments;
– Common stock issued under certain conditions;
– The contract is settled in common stock or in cash;
– The options have been purchased;
– Put options have been issued.
The determination of the number of additional common shares to be issued during the period is carried out in accordance with the provisions of Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 30 – Earnings per Share.
D. Guidelines for preparing and presenting the Statement of Cash Flows
Cash Flow Statement (Form B03 - DN)
1. Principles for preparing and presenting the Statement of Cash Flows
1.1. The preparation and presentation of annual and interim cash flow statements must comply with the provisions of Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 24 – Cash Flow Statements and Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 27 – Interim Financial Statements. The method for preparing the cash flow statement is guided for the most common transactions; businesses should present cash flows appropriately based on the nature of each transaction if there is no specific guidance in this Circular. Items without data do not need to be presented; businesses may renumber them but cannot change the codes.
1.2. Short-term investments considered as cash equivalents presented in the Statement of Cash Flows only include short-term investments with a maturity or redemption period of no more than 3 months, which are easily convertible into a defined amount of cash and have no conversion risk from the date of purchase at the end of the accounting period. Examples include bank promissory notes, treasury bills, etc., with a maturity or redemption period of no more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
1.3. Enterprises must present cash flows on the Statement of Cash Flows according to three types of activities: operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities, as prescribed by Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 24 – Statement of Cash Flows.
– Cash flow from operating activities is the cash flow generated from the business's primary revenue-generating activities and other activities that are not investment or financing activities;
– Cash flow from investing activities is cash flow arising from the purchase, construction, disposal, and sale of long-term assets and other investments that are not classified as cash equivalents;
– Cash flow from financing activities is the cash flow arising from activities that create changes in the size and structure of a company's equity and debt capital.
1.4. Enterprises may present cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities in a manner that best reflects the characteristics of their business.
1.5. Cash flows arising from the following business, investment, and financing activities are reported on a net basis:
– Collecting and disbursing payments on behalf of clients, such as collecting and disbursing rental fees, and returning the money to the property owners;
– Receiving and disbursing funds for items with a fast turnover and short maturity periods, such as: Buying and selling foreign currency; Buying and selling investments; Other short-term borrowing or lending with a repayment period of no more than 3 months.
1.6. Cash flows arising from transactions in foreign currencies must be converted into the official currency used in accounting records and financial statement preparation at the exchange rate prevailing at the time the transaction occurred.
1.7. Investment and financing transactions that do not directly involve cash or cash equivalents are not presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. For example:
– The acquisition of assets by assuming directly related liabilities or through financial leasing;
– The acquisition of a business through the issuance of shares;
– Converting debt and financial leases into equity.
1.8. Beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents, and the impact of changes in exchange rates on the conversion of existing foreign currency cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period, must be presented as separate items on the Statement of Cash Flows for comparison with the corresponding items on the Statement of Financial Position.
1.9. Enterprises must disclose the value and reasons for large ending balances of cash and cash equivalents held by the enterprise but not used due to legal restrictions or other constraints that the enterprise must comply with.
1.10. In cases where a business borrows money to pay contractors or suppliers of goods and services directly (the borrowed funds are transferred directly from the lender to the contractor or supplier without going through the business's account), the business must still present this information on the Cash Flow Statement, specifically:
– The amount borrowed is presented as cash inflow from financing activities;
– Payments to suppliers of goods or services, or payments to contractors, are presented as cash outflows from operating or investing activities, depending on the specific transaction.
1.11. In cases where a business makes offsetting payments with the same party, the presentation of the cash flow statement shall be carried out according to the following principles:
– If the clearing of accounts relates to transactions classified within the same cash flow, it is presented on a net basis (for example, in a barter transaction where cash is offset against cash from the purchase of inventory and cash from the sale of inventory, etc.);
– If the clearing process involves transactions classified within different cash flows, the business should not present them on a net basis but must present the value of each transaction separately (for example, offsetting accounts receivable against borrowings, etc.).
1.12. For cash flows from repurchase agreements of government bonds and securities REPO transactions: The seller presents it as cash flow from financing activities; the buyer presents it as cash flow from investing activities.
2. Basis for preparing the Statement of Cash Flows
The preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows is based on:
– Financial statement report;
– Business performance report;
– Explanatory notes to the financial statements;
– Previous period's cash flow statement;
– Other accounting documents, such as: General ledger, detailed ledgers for "Cash", "Demand Deposits", "Cash in Transit" accounts; General ledger and detailed ledgers for other related accounts, depreciation calculation and allocation tables for fixed assets and other detailed accounting documents,…
3. Requirements for opening and maintaining accounting records for the preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows
– Detailed accounting records for accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory must be tracked for each transaction to present cash flows collected or paid according to three types of activities: operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. For example: Payments to contractors related to construction activities are classified as cash flows from investing activities, while payments to suppliers of goods and services for production and business are classified as cash flows from operating activities.
– For detailed accounting records, accounts reflecting cash must be detailed to track cash inflows and outflows related to three types of activities: business operations, investment activities, and financing activities, as a basis for aggregation when preparing the Cash Flow Statement. For example, for payments to banks for principal and interest on loans, the enterprise must separately reflect the amount paid for interest as cash flow from business or investment activities and the amount paid for principal as cash flow from financing activities.
– At the end of the accounting period, when preparing the Statement of Cash Flows, enterprises must identify short-term investments with a recovery or maturity date of no more than 3 months from the date of purchase that meet the definition of cash equivalents in accordance with the "Statement of Cash Flows" Standard, in order to exclude them from cash flow from investing activities. The value of these cash equivalents is added (+) to the "Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period" item on the Statement of Cash Flows.
4. Methods for preparing the annual Cash Flow Statement
4.1. Preparing a report on cash flow indicators from business operations.
Cash flow from operating activities reflects the cash inflows and outflows related to production and business operations during the period, including cash flows related to securities held for trading purposes.
Cash flow from operating activities is prepared using one of two methods: the direct method or the indirect method.
4.1.1. Prepare a report on cash flow indicators from business operations using the direct method (See Form B 03-DN)

– Net cash flow from operating activities (Code 20)
The "Net cash flow from operating activities" indicator reflects the difference between the total cash inflows and the total cash outflows from operating activities during the reporting period. The figure for this indicator is calculated by summing the figures from indicators 01 to 07. If the figure for this indicator is negative, it should be written in parentheses (…).

4.1.2. Prepare a report on cash flow indicators from business operations using the indirect method (See Form B03-DN)
a. Principles of establishment:
In the indirect method, cash inflows and outflows from operating activities are calculated and determined primarily by adjusting the pre-tax profit from operating activities to exclude the impact of non-cash items, changes in inventory, accounts receivable and payable from operating activities, and items whose cash impact is cash flow from investing activities or cash flow from financing activities, including:
– Non-cash expenses, such as: Depreciation of fixed assets and investment properties, allocation of one-time land lease payments, provisions, etc.
– Non-monetary gains and losses, such as gains and losses from exchange rate differences; capital contributions in the form of non-monetary assets;
– Profits and losses are classified as cash flows from investing activities, such as: Profits and losses from the liquidation and sale of fixed assets and investment properties, interest on loans, interest on deposits, dividends and distributed profits, etc.;
– Borrowing costs have been recorded in the Income Statement for the period.
– Cash flow from operating activities is adjusted to continue with changes in working capital, long-term deferred expenses, and other revenues and expenses from operating activities, such as:
+ Changes in inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable from business operations during the reporting period;
+ Changes to deferred expenses;
+ Borrowing costs have been paid;
+ Corporate income tax already paid;
+ Other income from business operations;
+ Other expenses from business operations.
b. Methods for establishing specific targets
– Profit before tax (Code 01)
This indicator is taken from the Total Accounting Profit Before Tax (Code 50) indicator on the Income Statement for the reporting period. If this figure is negative (in case of loss), it should be written in parentheses (…).
– Depreciation of Fixed Assets and Investment Properties (Code 02)
+ In cases where the enterprise can separately separate the depreciation amount remaining in inventory and the depreciation amount already included in the income statement for the period: The "Depreciation of Fixed Assets and Investment Properties" item only includes the depreciation amount already included in the income statement for the period and the allocation of deferred expenses for one-time land lease payments that do not qualify as intangible assets; The "Increase/Decrease in Inventory" item does not include the depreciation amount included in the ending inventory value (not yet determined as consumed during the period);
+ In cases where a business cannot separately separate the depreciation amount remaining in inventory and the depreciation amount already included in the Income Statement for the reporting period, the following principle shall apply: The "Depreciation of Fixed Assets and Investment Properties" item shall include the depreciation amount already included in the Income Statement for the period plus the depreciation related to unsold inventory; the "Increase/Decrease in Inventory" item shall include the depreciation of fixed assets included in the ending inventory value (not yet determined as sold during the period).
In all cases, businesses must exclude from the Statement of Cash Flows the depreciation included in the value of work in progress, the depreciation recorded as a reduction in the Science and Technology Development Fund that has formed fixed assets, and the reward and welfare fund that has formed fixed assets arising during the period. The figures for this item are added (+) to the "Profit before tax" figure.
– Provisions (Code 03)

This figure is added (+) to the "Profit before tax" figure if the total ending balance of provisions is greater than the total beginning balance, or subtracted from the "Profit before tax" figure if the total ending balance of provisions is less than the total beginning balance, and is recorded as a negative number in parentheses (…).
– Exchange rate gains/losses resulting from the revaluation of monetary items denominated in foreign currency (Code 04)
This indicator reflects the gain (or loss) from exchange rate differences resulting from the revaluation of monetary items denominated in foreign currency that have already been reflected in pre-tax profit during the reporting period.

+ Exchange rate gains/losses arising from settlement of investment and financing activities;
+ Profits and losses from the sale and recovery of financial investments (excluding profits and losses from the buying and selling of trading securities), such as: Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, associated companies, and other investments; Investments held until maturity;

This indicator is based on the detailed accounting records of Account 511 – Revenue from sales and services, Account 515 – Revenue from financial activities, Account 711 – Other income, Account 632 – Cost of goods sold, Account 635 – Financial expenses, Account 811 – Other expenses, and other related accounts (details of profit and loss determined as cash flow from investment activities) during the reporting period.
This figure is subtracted (-) from the "Profit before tax" figure (if the investment activity generates a net profit) and recorded as a negative number in parentheses (...); or added (+) to the "Profit before tax" figure (if the investment activity generates a net loss).
– Borrowing costs (Code 06)
This indicator reflects borrowing costs recorded in the Income Statement during the reporting period, including bond issuance costs for ordinary and convertible bonds; the periodic borrowing costs calculated at the effective interest rate are added to the debt component of convertible bonds.

This figure is added to the "Profit before tax" figure.
– Other adjustments (Code 07)
This indicator reflects the amount allocated to or reversed from the Price Stabilization Fund or the Science and Technology Development Fund during the period. This indicator is prepared based on the accounting records of Account 356 – Science and Technology Development Fund and Account 357 – Price Stabilization Fund.

If inventory is purchased during the period but its purpose (for business operations or capital construction investment) has not yet been determined, the value of the inventory is included in this indicator.
If a business can separately separate the depreciation of fixed assets still in inventory from the depreciation already included in the Income Statement for the period (the "Depreciation of Fixed Assets" item – Code 02 only includes the depreciation of fixed assets already included in the Income Statement for the period), then this item does not include the depreciation of fixed assets included in the ending inventory value (not yet determined as sold during the period);
If a business cannot separately separate the depreciation of fixed assets still in inventory from the depreciation already included in the Income Statement for the period (the item "Depreciation of Fixed Assets and Investment Properties" – Code 02 includes depreciation of fixed assets related to unsold inventory), then this item includes the depreciation of fixed assets included in the ending inventory value (not yet determined as sold during the period).
This figure is added (+) to the "Profit from business operations before changes in working capital" figure if the total ending balances are less than the total beginning balances. This figure is subtracted (-) from the "Profit from business operations before changes in working capital" figure if the total ending balances are greater than the total beginning balances and is recorded as a negative number in parentheses (…).
