CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Dear Valued Shareholders,
“Mastering the 4th Industrial Revolution" is the main theme of the
46th annual conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland on January 20 - 23, 2016. Based on the popularity of
Internet, mobile phones, sensors, the ability to handle big data
information, artificial intelligence and the computer’s learning
ability, the 4th Industrial Revolution is considered to be an
unprecedented occasion in history, extremely different in terms
of speed and scale, which will entirely transform the existing
business models, production, management and governance
systems. It is possible to predict that every enterprise will become
a digital business and the application of technology will be an
important motivation for growth.
Attending the World Economic Forum in Davos has given me
more confidence in where FPT is heading to.
It can be said that FPT is fortunate to be able to join right from
the very beginning stage of the 4th Industrial Revolution. We
have cooperated with the top global technology groups which
are leading the digital revolution and are participating more and
more deeply into the global technology value chain, especially in
the field of S.M.A.C technology and Internet of things (IoT).
In Vietnam, new policies and mechanisms such as IT leasing in
the form of public-private partnership are now allowing FPT to
actively test the provision and transfer of the most advanced
technology solutions, helping improve management capability,
service delivery capability and competitiveness, as well as solve
major socio-economic problems in such sectors as public
finance, banking - finance, transportation, healthcare, etc.
I am happy to share the achievements of the Corporation in 2015
and the new platforms which help create motivation for growth
for FPT in the coming years.
In 2015, FPT has returned the double-digit growth track in both
revenue and profit before tax, delivering growth rates of 13.9% and
15.9%, respectively.
The global market has more and more important contribution
to the growth of FPT. Revenue from foreign markets continued
to grow significantly at 40.9% and profit before tax accounted
for 23.4% of total profit before tax of the Corporation. Besides,
this is the first time the revenue of technology sector from the
foreign markets has exceeded the revenue from the domestic
market, accounting for 52% of the revenue of this sector. FPT's
capabilities in implementing big projects, both in value and
scale, have also been tested with projects for clients in Japan, the
US, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Laos.
Pioneering direction in the digital world also has remarkable
progresses. FPT has developed technological capabilities in
S.M.A.C/ IoT through providing services to big corporations in the
fields of satellite broadcasting; aircraft production; automobile;
energy. The Corporation has also developed new business
models based on S.M.A.C/IoT technology to enable further
growth going forward.
FPT 2016 – Innovation for growth
We strongly believe in the laid-down strategic directions which
have been proved with 2015’s performance. 2016 and the
following years are considered the turning point of FPT where
FPT will innovate ourselves for growth. I would like to share
what we will do to change, make a difference and determine a
leading position in this period when the 4th industrial revolution
is taking place.
FPT will continually improve the business model to
capture the best new opportunities arising from both
domestic and overseas markets. It is the acceleration of the
implementation of IT services in the form of public - private
partnership for the Government of Vietnam. It is continual
innovation in methods of providing services for customers
based on digital technologies.
FPT will actively invest in R&D and create new technological
playground. The key points are the solutions, services based
on S.M.A.C/IoT, Robotic which can be strongly applied in all
business activities of the Corporation. FPT will deploy the ‘Open
FPT’ project, in which we will share our IT infrastructure for the
technology community, thereby promoting creative ideas, and
at the same time, continually offering new forms of venture
capital for the technology start-up community.
FPT must innovate the organizational structure to be
in line with global corporations. In particular, the focus is
to upgrade overseas branches and to turn FPT into a learning
organization. Each and every member in FPT will spend time
on studying, from leadership skills, personal skills, to foreign
languages, or technologies, etc. Studying will inspire creativity,
make a difference and bring success to each individual and the
Corporation.
I myself am excited with the changes taking place and destination
of transforming into a global corporation coming closer. We
are aware of that the process is accompanied with enormous
challenges of customer requirements, competitiveness
enhancement, and large scale governance. But we have
thoroughly understood these challenges and been determined
to overcome. I believe in the power of maximizing the potential
of each FPT member.
I sincerely thank all FPT employees because of their will to grow,
their great efforts being made during the past year and thank
shareholders who have always supported us. I hope that you
shareholders will share with us the excitement and confidence in
the future of the Corporation, and the opportunities that we are
having to build a smarter and better society together.
I conclude this with my heartfelt thanks to our shareholders.
On behalf of the Board of Directors
Chairman

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS
FOR THE 2016 - 2018 PERIOD
MACROECONOMIC PROSPECTS
Regarding the prospects of the global economy, in
the context of many remaining risks and uncertainties,
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts a GDP
growth of the world economy of 3.6% in 2016, higher
than the growth rate of 3.3% in 2015.
Regarding the prospects of the Vietnamese economy,
the National Assembly set the target for GDP growth
at 6.7% in 2016, as compared to 6.68% in 2015. Besides,
joining free trade agreements, particularly the TransPacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP)

numerous technology opportunities for Vietnam in
international cooperation.
INDUSTRIAL PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR FPT
Global market to bring great opportunities
Global IT services trends
According to Gartner's Invest Quarterly Sector outlook
report, the global IT services market is expected to grow
4.0% in 2016, reaching over USD1,000 billion and will
continue to grow at an average of 4.3% per annum for
the next three years.
In 2016, it is forecasted that outsourcing contracts will
require greater flexibility and efficiency, Big Data will be
used more; companies with limited financial resources
will look to external suppliers to increase their ability
to handle big data and cloud computing-equipped
vendors will have a competitive advantage in the IT
services market.

According to Gartner's survey
on IoT and Digital enterprises,
enterprises are now considering
information and Internet to be
key elements to become digital
enterprises. However, there is
still less than 10% of companies
integrating their activities with a
digital business strategy and this
is the opportunity for technology
companies, like FPT, to help
customers migrate into the digital
world.
In particular, S.M.A.C and IoT
continue to be the two mainstream
trends of the global IT industry.
Domestic IT-Telecommunication market trends
Integrated system and infrastructure solutions market - Expectations of new policies
On October 14, 2015, the Government issued Resolution
No. 36a/NQ-CP on e-government for the 2015-2017
period. This Resolution focuses on three main objectives
to develop e-government which are: connecting
electronic documents from the central government
to the provincial, district and communal levels; 100%
of public services are to be provided via electronic
network; and establishing a national public service
portal at a single website. Resolution No. 36a/NQ-CP was
promulgated to improve the position of the Vietnam
Electronic government as ranked by the United Nations
and to provide FPT and other Vietnamese IT enterprises
with the opportunity to participate in the process of
administrative reform and e-government.
Besides, Decision No. 80/2014/QD-TTg regulating on
pilot leasing IT in state agencies which officially took
effect in February 2015, created a new business model for
enterprises delivering IT services. FPT had its first success
with this business model with its implementation of the
e-ticketing system for the Vietnam Railways Corporation.
Meanwhile, according to International Data Corporation
(IDC), Vietnam is developing strongly and more
investment is needed in infrastructure, especially IT
infrastructure. Besides, spending on IT also tends to shift
from hardware to software and services. IDC forecasted
that in the 2016-2018 period, spending on hardware
growth rate will decrease 2.1% per year averagely, while
the growth rate of spending on software and services is
expected to remain double-digit of 12.9% per annum.
This is also in line with FPT’s growth strategy which
focuses on investing in software solutions development
and IT services provision.

convergence and development.
In the Pay TV business, we have witnessed impressive
growth and the expansion of various forms of services such

Mobile phone and IT product market
According to a recent GfK report, the phone
consumption market in Vietnam has witnessed positive
movements thanks to the growth of smartphones which
support online activities. Accordingly, in 2015, 12.9
million smartphones were sold in Vietnam, an increase
of 28.1% against 2014. This makes Vietnam the fastest
growing and also the third largest smartphone market
in Southeast Asia.

AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
THE MACRO ECONOMIC CONTEXT IN 2015
The macro-economic context in Vietnam started to have some more positive factors in 2015 as compared to 2014
which included GDP growth of 6.68%, the highest growth rate in recent five years. Inflation has set a record low with
CPI increased by only 0.6% in 2015. Interest rate kept being low which helped boost investment and consumption.
Vietnam continued to be an attractive investment destination thanks to improving investment environment and the
integration into international trade environment by signing the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) and integrating into
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). However, the fact that Vietnam Dong has devaluated by more than 5% in 2015
– a high fluctuation as compared to a recent five-year trading band, has some negative impacts on import-related
enterprises. Besides, factors such as the world oil price has slumped, China economy slowed down and Vietnam’s
state budget continued to have a higher deficit continued to challenge Vietnam’s macro-economic targets.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE IN 2015
AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
In such a macro-economic context, FPT has fulfilled both revenue and profit targets, especially with profit returned to
the double-digit growth track. Specifically, consolidated business revenue in 2015 reached VND40,003 billion, equal
to 101% of target, up 13.9% versus 2014; profit before tax reached VND2,851 billion, equal to 100% of the target, up
15.9% versus 2014. Profit after tax (PAT) and PAT attributable to parent company’s shareholders was VND2,438 billion
and VND1,931 billion in 2015, up 17.3% and 18.3% year-on-year, respectively. EPS increased by 17.8% year-on-year,
to VND4,386. Total consolidated assets increased by 14.9% year-on-year, reaching VND26,046 billion.
Overseas market continued to grow healthily and contributed considerably, especially in terms of profit to the
consolidated financial performance. Revenue from overseas markets in 2015 was VND4,859 billion, up 40.9% versus
2014, which was roughly equal to USD221 million. Profit before tax from overseas markets was VND668 billion (or
roughly USD30.4 million) in 2015, up 15.1% versus 2014, accounting for nearly one-fourth of the consolidated profit
before tax of the Corporation.

FINANCIAL POSITION
Total assets
Total assets was VND26,046 billion as of December 31, 2015, up 14.9% yearon-year. Return on assets (ROA) was 10.4%. Accounts receivable balance as
of December 31, 2015 increased from VND4,286 billion to VND4,994 billion
as revenue increased strongly by 13.9%. However, accounts receivable
turnover has improved from 8.68 times in 2014 to 8.91 times in 2015,
suggesting improvement in debt collection.
Pertaining to the balance of provision for doubtful accounts receivable,
in Telecom services segment, the provision was made based on historical
percentage of dropped out customers of whom the receivable amount is
unable to collect. In the telecommunication business, this is considered an
operation expense. However, as per accounting regulations, the company
cannot net-off the amount due from dropped out subscribers with the
provision made for such accounts, which resulted in considerably large
amount of provision being accumulated throughout the years. The balance
of provision for doubtful accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015, if
excluding such provision in the Telecom services segment, was VND88 billion,
accounting for 2.28% total short-term accounts receivable balance, which was
equal to the ratio as of December 31, 2014 of 2.27% and remained low.

Total liabilities
As of December 31, 2015, total interest-bearing debts has increased from
VND6,865 billion (as as of December 31, 2014) to VND8,806 billion, in which
short-term borrowing balance increased by VND1,469 billion, and long-term
borrowing increased by VND472 billion. Short-term borrowing increase
was mainly to finance working capital in the retail segment, and to invest
in the Telecom services and Software outsourcing segments. Short-term
borrowing balance as of December 31, 2015 increased year-on-year was
mainly due to the Telecom services segment (increased by VND962 billion),
Retail segment (increased by VND733 billion), and Software outsourcing
(increased by VND309 billion). The Distribution segment, which accounts
for the majority of the consolidated short-term borrowing balance, had its
balance reduced by VND557 billion.
Long-term borrowing was to finance capital expenditure investments at
the subsidiaries, in which the Telecom services segment has its balance
increased by the most. As of December 31, 2015, long-term borrowing
balance at the Telecom services segment increased by VND445 billion (2014:
zero balance), which accounted for 95% of the difference in consolidated
long-term borrowing balance between the two periods.
The net debt to equity ratio of the Corporation was 0.27 times, albeit
being higher than the 0.13 times as at December 31, 2014, remaining low,
implying high financial safety as well as the potential to mobilize more
financial resources for business expansion going forward.

The Europe market: has continuously scaled up in which
FY2015 revenue increased by 56% year-over-year, and
FY2014 revenue also increased by 117%, partially thanks

the IT leasing model
Important highlights in 2015
Putting into use e-government systems nationwide
On the last day of 2014, the Prime Minister had
signed the Decision No. 80/2014/QD-TTg governing
trial activities that relate to the IT leasing model at
organizations that use the State-budget. The decision
was effective from February 15, 2015. FPT has become
the pioneer enterprise that realized the policy by
implementing various projects in 2015, including:
99 The project to deploy the online ticket booking and
selling platform for the Vietnam National Railways;
99 The pilot project of deploying the traffic violation
surveillance and monitoring system on the Noi
Bai-Lao Cai highway;
99 The project of deploying the ‘Online health
insurance claiming system’ for Hai Phong.
In 2015, FPT has completed three important
e-government projects for provinces including Quang
Ninh, Binh Duong and Tay Ninh. Currently, the application
of IT in public administration in Vietnam is still low as
compared to regional countries, paving way for further
investment in the future.
Completing major ERP projects
In 2015, various ERP projects have been handed over to
customers such as SAP ERP system for Minh Phu Seafood
Corp; SAP ERP and SAP CRM systems in the cloud for
FECON; SAP ERP system for Vingroup; SAP ERP for Ca
Mau Fertilizer Company. Beside investing in developing
core solutions (in the Software solutions segment), the IT
services will also be a focus of FPT going forward.
Concurrently, the Corporation has proposed to build
the Integrated Information System for the National
Traffic Safety Committee, in an attempt to open up
opportunities to deploy systems for various sectors
such as healthcare, social insurance, to name a few.
For the domestic market, the Software solutions
business and IT services segment will be of FPT’s
focus going forward thanks to the ability to make
differences as compared to other industry players.

the next major cities; and (2) good growth in terms of customer acquisition, in which the proportion of implementing
fiber optic cables for new customers increased strongly in 2015, in which customer acquisition costs are mostly booked

Revenue was VND17,371 billion, slightly decreased by 0.8% year-over-year, and profit before tax was
VND548 billion, which equals to profit before tax in 2014. Return on equity was consistently high at 46%.
Business performance in 2015
The mobile phone market has continued to witness the consumer’s migration from feature phones to smartphones.
However, as Apple re-divided the market, revenue from mobile distribution has actually been lower than
initial guidance.
The hardware consumer market in 2015 saw mild recovery, notably with the return to positive growth, which helped
the Corporation’s laptop product line increase by 8.7% year-over-year, and desktop increase by 10.9% year-over-year.
Meanwhile, tablets which saw strong growth in prior years, have declined 14.7% in terms of value in 2015. This was
because in 2015, the laptop market was introduced with ultra portable models, which competed in terms of screen size
with tablets, and laptops that have a detachable keyboard, which competed directly with tablets. Beside the swapping
role in terms of growth between laptop and tablets, hard disc drive (HDD) products have faced strong competition. As
a result, revenue from distribution of IT products increased by only 1.7% year-over-year.
Profit before tax margin in 2015 of the Distribution business was 3.2%, which was 0.1% higher than which in 2014.
Return on equity was consistently high at 46%.
New steps in 2016
Amid such changes on the mobile handset market, changes should be conducted to maintain growth. In 2016, beside
existing activities, FPT will start to distribute to e-commerce channels, and concurrently invest in a professional
warranty service chain. These are under-penetrated niche markets, which are expected to have a lot of potential.
According to Vietnam E-commerce and Information Technology agency (VECITA)’s 2014 Vietnam E-commerce report,
online sales only accounted for 2.12% total retail sales nationwide. Meanwhile, in some developed markets including
the US, Korea, Australia, online sales accounted for 6.1%, 12.8% and 6.6% of total retail sales of the respective countries.
Besides, the smartphone market has been growing strongly in Vietnam for a number of years, which has incurred
demand for warranty services for warranty-expired phones, or demand for phone insurance started to get high. These
will be opportunities for FPT’s Distribution segment in 2016.

THE BOD’S REVIEW ON CORPORATE ACTIVITIES
AND THE BOM’S PERFORMANCE

policies; the Telecom services segment being under competitive pressure
and the domestic information technology market has not yet recovered as
expected.

a 40.9% increase in revenue from overseas markets in 2015. With the
expansion of business activities in emerging markets, impressive milestones
were reached, including the signing of a USD33.6 million contract to
implement the VAT system for the Government of Bangladesh, obtaining
the telecommunications license in Myanmar and putting an ERP project
into operation for the United Paints Group, a Myanmar-based leading paint
corporation, to name a few.

IMPLEMENTATION OF CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE REGULATIONS
FPT always strives to abide by provisions related to corporate governance in general as well as its own administrative
regulations for the listed public joint stock companies, including:
• Enterprise Law 2014.
• Circular 121/2012/TT-BTC on corporate governance applicable to public companies.
• Circular 155/2015/TT-BTC on information disclosure on stock market.
In addition, to enhance compliance of laws related to corporate governance, FPT defines these regulations in the
following internal documents:
• Company Charter.
• Regulation on Corporate Governance.
In 2015, FPT strived to abide by all essential legal requirements on corporate governance, related to information
disclosure and the composition of the BOD, the Supervisory Board and the AGM.
The Corporation has always been one of the first listed companies to submit its quarterly financial report and annual
Financial Statement (usually 10-15 days prior to the due date). This is highly appreciated by the State Securities
Commission of Vietnam (SSC) and Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE).
Besides the legislative regulations, FPT also strived to improve the quality of its corporate governance in accordance with
international standards by applying and following closely the criteria of OECD’s Principles of Corporate Governance,
including the following key issues:
01
Ensure all
shareholders' rights
02
05
Emphasize the
responsibilities
of the BOD to
shareholders
04
Disclosure and
transparency of
information
Equitable
treatment of
shareholders
03
Ensure the rights
and roles of the
related parties
In addition, in 2015, FPT conducted the following typical corporate governance practices:
• Approved the business direction and strategies;
• Organized a corporate Strategic Conference and directed the drafting of strategies for all subsidiaries consistent
with the general models and goals of the Corporation;
• Approved the medium and long-term business plan, the annual business plan. The plans were implemented and
controlled by BSC tools throughout the entire corporation during 2015. The presentation of the plan and its approval
were carefully carried out from December 2015 to late January 2016.
71
RISK MANAGEMENT
RISK MANAGEMENT MODEL
Risk management is an inseparable part of FPT’s overall strategy of sustainable development.
Risks are divided into different groups to evaluate their impact on business goals. This allows FPT to work out procedures
to early identify and quantify risk associated with business plans, allowing for the implementation of measures to
monitor and eliminate risks. The identified major risk groups are integrated into the contents of the BSC - the planning
and governance system applied comprehensively at FPT and its subsidiaries.
The risk management mechanism is clearly assigned from the Corporation to subsidiaries to ensure risks are handled by
the relevant leaders and individuals with authority. FPT’s risk management mechanism is decentralized and composes
a single united system, consistent between the Corporation and its subsidiaries. FPT also builds a mechanism of internal
audit, collaborating with the internal audit departments at its subsidiaries to manage the compliance risks in the whole
corporation.

includes indicators of risk management throughout the Corporation to ensure prompt identification and monitoring
of operation related risks. Risk is handled within a closed process of 5 steps: (1) Risk identification; (2) Risk assessment
and analysis; (3) Action plan; (4) Risk treatment; (5) Risk measurement and monitoring.

dedication instead of flattering the leaders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To: The Shareholders
The Boards of Directors and Management
FPT Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of FPT Corporation and its subsidiaries (herein
collectively called as the “Corporation”), prepared on 03 March 2016 as set out from page 116 to page 165, which comprise
the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2015, and the consolidated statement of income and consolidated
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in
accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, accounting regime for enterprises and legal regulations relating to
financial reporting 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.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Vietnamese Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks
of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the Corporation’s preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements 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. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Corporation as at 31 December 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, accounting regime for enterprises and legal regulations
relating to financial reporting.

controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) up to 31 December each year. Control is achieved where the
Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee enterprise so as to obtain
benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income
statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting
policies used in line with those used by the Company.
Intragroup transactions and balances are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the parent’s
ownership interests in them. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those non-controlling interests
at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity
since the date of the combination. Losses in subsidiaries are respectively attributed to the non-controlling
interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Business combinations
On acquisition, the assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair
values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net
assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the fair values of the
identifiable net assets acquired is credited to consolidated profit and loss in the period of acquisition.
The interest of minority shareholders is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the
assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities recognized.
Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor
an interest in joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy
decisions of the investee but not control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements
using the equity method of accounting. Interests in associates are carried in the balance sheet at cost as adjusted
by post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of the associate. Losses of an associate in
excess of the Company's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance,
form part of the Company's net investment in the associate) are not recognized.
Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Company, unrealised profits and losses are eliminated to
the extent of the Company’s interest in the relevant associate.

4.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s interest in the net fair value
of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition. After
acquisition date, if the Parent continues making investment in the subsidiary, it should determine the cost of
additional investment and corresponding increase in ownership of the carrying value of the acquired net asset
of the subsidiary (not applying fair value as on acquisition date). The difference between the cost of additional
investment and the carrying value of the acquired net asset should be recorded directly into retained earnings
(similar to transactions among internal shareholders).
Goodwill arising on the acquisition date is presented separately as an intangible asset in the consolidated
balance sheet and is amortised on the straight-line basis in the consolidated income statement according to
current regulation. In case where the amount of goodwill impairment loss in the period is more than the annual
amortised amount on the straight-line basis, the loss amount shall be recognised.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of unmortised goodwill is reduced corresponding to the
disposed share proportion and included in retained earnings in case where the Parent remains its control of the
subsidiary, or reduced in full and included in the determination of the profit or loss in case where the Parent loses
the control.
Financial instruments
Initial recognition
Financial assets

Financial investments
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments comprise investments that the Corporation has the positive intent or ability to
hold to maturity, including term deposits (commercial bills), bonds, preference shares which the issuer shall
redeem at a certain date in the future, loans held to maturity to earn periodic interest and other held-to-maturity
investments.
Held-to-maturity investments are recognised on a trade date basis and are initially measured at acquisition price
plus directly attributable transaction costs. Post-acquisition interest income from held-to-maturity investments
is recognised in the income statement on accrual basis. Pre-acquisition interest is deducted from the cost of such
investments at the acquisition date.
Held-to-maturity investments are measured at cost less provision for doubtful debts.
Provision for doubtful debts relating to held-to-maturity investments is made in accordance with prevailing
accounting regulations.
Equity investments in other entities
Equity investments in other entities represent the Corporation’s investments in ordinary shares of the entities
over which the Company has no control, joint control, or significant influence.
Equity investments in other entities are carried at cost less provision for impairment.
Provisions for impairment of long-term financial investments
Provisions for impairment of long-term financial investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are
made in accordance with Circular No. 228/2009/TT-BTC dated 07 December 2009 issued by the Ministry of Finance
on “Guiding the appropriation and use of provisions for devaluation of inventories, loss of financial investments,
bad debts and warranty for products, goods and construction works at enterprises”, Circular No. 89/2013/TT-BTC
dated 28 June 2013 by the Ministry of Finance amending and supplementing Circular No. 228/2009/TT-BTC and
prevailing accounting regulations. In some cases, according to the estimate of the Board of Management, the
Corporation prudently makes more provision for impairment of long-term financial investments than required
as per the prevailing accounting regulations.
Receivables
Receivables represent the amounts recoverable from customers or other debtors and are stated at book value
less provision for doubtful debts.
Provision for doubtful debts is made for receivables that are overdue for six months or more, or when the debtor
is in dissolution, in bankruptcy, or is experiencing similar difficulties and so may be unable to repay the debt.
127
FORM B 09-DN/HN
4.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and where
applicable, direct labor costs, and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. Cost of inventories within the Corporation is calculated using the first in first out
(FIFO) method and inventory recording method is the perpetual method. Net realizable value represents the
estimated selling price less all estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and
distribution.
The evaluation of necessary provision for inventory obsolescence follows current prevailing accounting
regulations which allow provisions to be made for obsolete, damaged, or sub-standard inventories and for those
which have costs higher than net realisable values as at the balance sheet date.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The costs of purchased tangible fixed assets comprise their purchase prices and any directly attributable costs of
bringing the assets to their working condition and location for their intended use.
The costs of self-constructed or manufactured assets are the actual construction or manufacturing cost plus
installation and test running costs.
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their following estimated useful lives:
2015
(Years)
Buildings and structures
5 - 25
Machinery and equipment
3 - 25
Motor vehicles
3 - 10
Office equipment
3-8
Other assets
3-5
Finance lease assets and depreciation
Finance lease assets acquired from finance lease transactions, whenever the terms of the lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Corporation at their fair value at the inception
of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to
the lessor is included in the consolidated balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are
apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss, unless they are
directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Corporation’s
general policy on borrowing costs.

use rights are amortised using the straight-line method over the duration of the right to use the land. Indefinite
land use rights are not amortised.
(ii)
License, copyright and patent
Purchase price of license is accounted for as intangible asset. License is amortised to the consolidated income

not yet determined, are carried at cost. Cost includes professional fees, and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs
dealt with in accordance with the Corporation’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same
basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

FORM B 09-DN/HN
4.
Payable provisions

(b) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Corporation;
(c) the percentage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably; and
(d) the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue from software development, system intergration and informatics services
Revenue of a transaction involving the rendering of service is recognised in the consolidated income statement
by reference to the percentage of completion of transaction at the year end. The percentage of completion
is assessed by performance or the percentage of the incurred expense of the completed work over the total
contract cost estimate. Revenue is not recognised if there is material unreliable element related to recovery of
receivables.
Revenue from processing services
Revenue from processing services is recognised in the consolidated income statement when the goods have
been processed and accepted by the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties
regarding recovery of the receivables due.
Revenue from telecommunication services
Revenue from telecommunication services is recognised on pro-rata basis over the period during which the
services were actually provided to customers.
Revenue from the sale of telephone, internet, and online game prepaid cards is recognised in the consolidated
income statement based on the time units actually consumed by users. Subsequently, any unutilized credits
are recognised as income upon the expiration of the period of use in accordance with the published expiration
policy. Amounts received upon the sale of prepaid cards, but prior to usage or expiration of the value sold, are
shown as advance from customers in the consolidated balance sheet.
Revenue from online advertising services
Revenue from online advertising services is recognised on pro-rata basis over the display period specified in the
contract.
Revenue from tuition and fees
Revenue is recognised in the year when services are rendered. Tuition and fees collected in advance from the

131
FORM B 09-DN/HN
4.
Revenue recognition (Continued)
Enrolment fee or application fee
A one-time fixed application fee is charged per student and collected with applications for enrolment. Proceeds
from the application fees are used to defray the costs associated with all procedures relating to processing each
student’s enrolment, including the administration of applicable assessment evaluation of prior school records
and appropriate placement for the student. The application fee is not refundable.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable
interest rate.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Corporation’s right to receive payment has been
established.
Foreign currencies
The Corporation applies the method of recording foreign exchange differences in accordance with Circular No.
200/2014/TT-BTC dated 22 December 2014 Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 10 (VAS 10) “Effects of changes
in foreign exchange rates”. Accordingly, transactions arising in foreign currencies are translated at exchange
rates ruling at the transaction date. The balances of monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as at the
balance sheet date are retranslated at the exchange rates on the same date. Exchange differences arising from
the translation of these accounts are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Unrealised exchange
gains as at the balance sheet date are not treated as part of distributable profit to shareholders.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and
liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
Financial statements of foreign operations
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the foreign
operations (including comparative figures) are expressed in reporting currency using exchange rates prevailing
on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items (including comparative figures) are translated at the
average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which
case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are
classified as equity and transferred to the Corporation’s foreign exchange reserve. Such translation differences
are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the year when incurred unless they are capitalised
in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 16 “Borrowing costs”. Accordingly, borrowing costs
directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost
of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment
income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the cost of those assets. For specific borrowings for the purpose of construction of fixed
assets and investment properties, borrowing costs are capitalised even when the construction period is under
12 months.

4.
Earnings per share
The Corporation presents basic (EPS) and diluted earnings per share (Diluted EPS) for its ordinary shares. Basic
EPS is calculated by having the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Corporation divided
by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the year. Diluted EPS is determined
by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding taking into consideration the effect of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which
comprise convertible bonds and share options.
Related parties
Related parties include associates and key management personnel of the Corporation.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported
in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years (including loss carried forward, if any) and it further excludes items that are never
taxable or deductible.
Deferred tax is recognised on significant differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit
and is accounted for using balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all
temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or
the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or
credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the
Corporation intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The determination of the tax currently payable is based on the current interpretation of tax regulations. However,
these regulations are subject to periodic variation and their ultimate determination depends on the results of
the tax authorities’ examinations.
Other taxes are paid in accordance with the prevailing tax laws in Vietnam.

(ii) Other movements comprise of the write-off of goodwill arising from business combination at the value of
VND333,170,444,644 which was recorded as at 31 December 2014. This goodwill resulted from investment
transactions which increased FPT’s ownership at some subsidiaries several years ago. In nature, these
investments did not constitute FPT’s control right over subsidiaries; thus, they did not constitute business
combination transaction as defined by Circular 202/TT-BTC (“Circular 202”) dated 22 December 2014 guiding
the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements, effective for financial years starting
on or after 01 January 2015. Accordingly, these transactions did not create goodwill as an asset from business
combination. Instead, the excess of additional acquisition costs over carrying value of attributable net assets
of the subsidiaries should be directly debited to retained earnings as an equity transaction. As such, to
record the transactions’ nature more accurately and comply with Circular 202, the Corporation’s Board of
Management prudently considered that this goodwill had not met the criteria for asset recognition and
decided to derecognize it.
Dividends
On 03 April 2015, at the Company’s Shareholders’ Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the plan of
stock dividend payment of 2014 at the pay-out ratio of 15% (03 new shares for every 20 shares held) and second
cash dividend payment of 2014 at the pay-out ratio of 10% of par value (VND1,000/share) and approved the plan
of 2015 cash dividend advance of 20% of par value (VND2,000/share).
According to Resolutions of Board of Director No. 01.07-2015/NQ-HDQT-FPT dated 30 July 2015, the Company
made cash dividend advance of 2015 at the pay-out ratio of 10% of par value (VND1,000/share). The cash dividend
pay-out ratio of the whole year 2015 will be decided by the Company’s Shareholders’ Annual General Meeting
in 2016.

rate fluctuation is reflected into selling price, the Corporation still proactively hedges and mitigates unidentified

structure between VND and foreign currencies at fixed interest rates.

Market risk (Continued)
Share price risk management
Shares held by the Corporation are affected by market risks arising from the uncertainty about future prices of
such shares. The Corporation manages this risk exposure by setting up investment limits. The Corporation’s Board
of Directors also assesses and approves decisions on share investments such as operating industry, investees, etc.

The Corporation is also exposed to equity price risks arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates. The
Corporation’s Board of Directors assesses and approves decisions on investments in subsidiaries and associates
such as operating industry, investees, etc. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are held for long-term
strategic investments rather than trading purposes. The Corporation does not have intention to trade these
investments in the foreseeable future.
Commodity price risk management

inventories from importing stage by evaluating market demand, monitoring inventories on a daily basis to take
proper and timely action on the slow-moving goods.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the Corporation. The Corporation has set up a constantly and systematically updated internal rating
system in place for assessing and rating customers’ financial capability over time, taking into account the ratings
and assessments by intermediary financial organizations as basis for sales on credit to customers. In addition,
guarantees are required for most of the Corporation’s customers who are granted with sales on credit.
The Corporation monitors its liabilities on an on-going basis, including analysis of aging report and recovery
dates, customer updates and assessment etc. to take proper actions. The Corporation also buys insurance for its
receivables to mitigate unpredictable risks at reasonable cost.
Liquidity risk management
The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure the availability of funds to meet present and future
financial obligations. Liquidity is also managed by ensuring that the excess of maturing liabilities over maturing
assets in any period is kept to manageable levels relative to the amount of funds that the Corporation believes
can generate within that period. The Corporation’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity
requirements to ensure that the Corporation maintains sufficient reserves of cash, borrowings and adequate
committed funding from its shareholders to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term. The
Corporation has been able to optimize its payments and made use of credit from customers and counterparties
via the central account.
The following table details the Corporation’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial
assets and financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the
undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the
earliest date on which the Corporation can be required to pay. The inclusion of information on non-derivative
financial assets is necessary in order to understand the Corporation’s liquidity risk management as the liquidity
is managed on a net asset and liability basis.
