Joining the market in 2002, Vincom spared no efforts to become Vietnam’s premier upmarket real estate brand with a number of shopping mall, office and apartment complexes, and large-scale modern mixed-use townships, spearheading the trend of high-end ecological urban zones in Vietnam. In the current downturn economy, Vingroup’s projects still stand out from the market thanks to the Group's commitment to progress and quality, which has established its strong brand and excellent reputation. After joining the market in 2001, Vingroup’s hospitality brand, Vinpearl, soon became the flagship of the Vietnamese tourism sector, featuring five-star and five-star plus hotels and resorts, as well as beachfront villas, amusement parks and golf courses under the Vinpearl Resort, Vinpearl Luxury and Vinpearl Villas brands. Vingroup also aims to develop ten hotel, resort and recreation complexes at the most popular tourist destinations in Vietnam over the next half-decade. In addition to the two above-mentioned strengths, Vingroup has recently begun operating top quality healthcare, and fitness and beauty care facilities under two new strategic brands, Vinmec and Vincharm.

In January 2012, Vinpearl JSC was merged into Vincom JSC, marking the official operation of Vingroup Joint Stock Company, ranking among the top major companies on Vietnam’s stock market in terms of market capitalisation. Vingroup is also known on the international capital market as the first Vietnamese enterprise to have successfully issued international convertible bonds listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

We have also improved the quality of its operations, designed attractive service packages, and created polices tailored to our customers’ needs, which has helped us enhance Vinpearl status as the most favourable tourism destinations, even during economic distress. Vinmec International Hospital and Vincharm Spa, which are still in the initial stages of development, have also shown very positive results. Vingroup has always been ranking Top 5 largest companies by market capitalisation on the Vietnam’s securities market and its shares account for considerable proportion in the portfolios of foreign investment funds. We also affirmed international investors’ trust in Vingroup when we successfully issued US$300 million convertible bonds, the largest and best deal in Vietnam for 2012, confirming our position as a pioneer in integrating into the international capital market. In terms of corporate governance, the Group not only successfully merged two leading brands in Vietnam: Vincom and Vinpearl, being the largest merger in the country in recent years, but was also able to take advantage of opportunities during the economic crisis to restructure our organisation by streamlining the system, rearranging management teams, reforming administration and enhancing operational efficiency throughout the Group. All of these measures were conducted intensively in every division and department. To accomplish our development goals, the devoted Vingroupers have used their extensive experience, determination and strong will to steer the Group along a steady course towards success based on our six "golden" core values: "Credibility - Integrity - Creativity Speed - Quality - Humanity”. Our results and achievements represent the industriousness and creativity of Vingroup staff, the flexibility and business acumen of the management, and the Group’s outstanding reputation and position in the market, proving that Vingroup truly deserves the title Vingroup - Where the best gather and grow. Dear Valued Shareholders, As a consequence of the long lasting economic crisis since early this decade, 2013 is forecasted to be another very arduous and challenging year. It will be even more challenging for Vingroup as it is a “sprinting” year given our goal of opening multiple projects in Hanoi. However, with our track record and capability as a pioneer, Vingroup management and employees are determined to overcome all difficulties and challenges to further consolidate the Group as a powerful corporation on its path of development. On behalf of the Board of Management, once again, I would like to express our gratitude to you for your trust, support and partnership. We believe that our sustainable development strategy and phase-based solutions will help us achieve our goals and plans for 2013 and the years to come; elevate Vingroup’s position and development to a new height; protect and increase our shareholders’ long-term benefits; and contribute more to the society. Dear Valued Shareholders, Sincerely yours, On behalf of the Board of Management (BOM) and Board of Directors (BOD), I would like to extend our warmest greetings and wish you good health, happiness and success! We all have experienced a very hard year, even the hardest year for the economy in the last decade, with a frozen real estate market, increasingly stagnant inventories, a substantial decrease in market confidence, and thousands of inevitable company bankruptcies. Operating in the fields of real estate, tourism and hospitality, which are considered to be in the “eye of the storm”, Vingroup has been striving to cope with many challenges to sustain our investments, maintain our business operations, and continue pursuing international integration with a desire to become one of the leading economic groups in Vietnam and Asia. In addition to exploiting effectively Vincom Center shopping malls in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in 2012, Vingroup focused its resources on building and completing key development townships, including Royal City, Times City and Vincom Village, for on-time delivery to keep our promises to our customers and quickly recover capital.

Heading towards the goal of sustainable development, the Vinmec hospital demonstrates Vingroup’s strong desire to contribute to community healthcare and improve the local health sector’s image and infrastructure. After one year of operation following the five-star hotel hospital model, Vinmec has gained some significant initial achievements, consolidating its strategy to become the leading International General Hospital in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. 2 Merger, restructuring, and building comprehensive strength 3 US$300 million deal and its echoes in the Asian financial market The merger of Vinpearl JSC into Vincom JSC in April 2012 to form the Vingroup Joint Stock Company was the largest M&A deal in Vietnam in recent years. As a result, Vingroup officially became one of the largest private economic corporations in Vietnam with the capacity to successfully compete and integrate into the international market. Immediately, the Group decided to increase its charter capital to VND7,004.62 billion and began drastic restructuring towards “Simplification - Concentration - Dynamism”. After issuing US$185 million convertible bonds in March 2012, Vingroup successfully issued an additional US$115 million tap in July, accomplishing its plan of US$300 million bond issuance. This achievement brought the Group a solid reputation in the international financial investment community, particularly the Asian financial market. Given the current economic difficulties in the Vietnamese and world markets, fulfilling 100% of our fund raising plan at a reasonable interest rate and important advantages was truly a remarkable achievement. This success is a solid proof of Vingroup’s international reputation, stature and potential for strong growth in the future. The US$300 million bond issuance also earned Vingroup a number of awards from three of the world’s financial media agencies including “Triple A Country Awards 2012 - Best Deal, Vietnam” from The Asset, “Best Vietnam Deal” from FinanceAsia, and “Vietnam Capital Markets Deal of the Year” from the International Financing Review Asia (Thomson Reuters). 4 Appointment of Key Executives Vingroup made some notable changes in its management during 2012 including appointing new key executives. Aiming to accelerate the Group’s international integration, especially in preparation for listing its shares on the international stock exchange, Ms. Le Thi Thu Thuy, an internationally reputable and very experienced financial expert in Asian property investment, was appointed as General Director. Since she joined Vingroup as Head of the Investment Department, and later held the position of Vice Chairwoman in charge of Investment, Ms. Thuy has made substantial contributions to the Group through direct involvement in numerous important deals between Vingroup and foreign partners. In addition to nominating a new General Director, the Group also took on board Mr. George Edward Royle as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO)5 in September 2012. 5 5 Development Vision until 2030 To further enhance its professionalism, competitiveness, and international integration capability in its new stage of development, the Group has invited McKinsey & Company, a world-leading international investment management consultancy, to research and map out a development strategy with a vision to 2030. Accordingly, Vingroup aims to become one of the leading real estate companies in Asia and be included in the list of world’s top corporations. McKinsey & Company has diligently conducted various studies and surveys, and highly appreciates Vingroup’s foundation. It firmly believes that Vingroup is well-positioned to successfully realise its aspirations for international integration. 6 Vincom Center A Ho Chi Minh City inaugurated Vincom Center A Ho Chi Minh City shopping mall was officially inaugurated in October 2012. It is the most luxurious shopping mall, recreation and restaurant complex in Vietnam, and the fifth in the Vincom Center shopping mall chain. Vincom Center commenced construction in 2011 and was completed in just 19 months, recording a very impressive 95% occupancy rate, eight months after the lease was launched. Together with Vincom Center B Ho Chi Minh City, it has created a unique international-standard luxury shopping and entertainment destination in the heart of this major city. 7 “Best Developer” and “Best Villa Development” Awards The year also witnessed another significant milestone of Vingroup with its double victories at the 2012 Southeast Asia Property Awards in Singapore. The Group received “Best Villa Development - Vincom Village” and “Best Developer - Vingroup” awards, affirming its international recognition and once again consolidating its pre-eminent position in the Vietnamese high-end real estate market. 8 Intensive international integration At the end of 2012, Vingroup was officially upgraded to a Founding Member of the World Economic Forum (WEF) among aprroximately 1,000 leading companies globally. The membership took effect on January 1, 2013. This promotion, along with international recognition through a series of significant awards, proves that Vingroup is well positioned to realise its international integration and its goal to become one of the premier property companies in Asia listed among the world’s largest corporations. Mr. George Edward Royle was exempted from this position as of February 6, 2013. Vingroup is currently seeking a replacement. 32 OPERATIONS IN 2012 VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 33 REPORTS FROM THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT In spite of the influence of the ailing economy, Vingroup completed a huge workload in 2012, culminating in a variety of impressive achievements and milestones. The macro-economy in 2012 Bearing the heavy burden of the economic crisis that has lasted since early this decade, 2012 presented many challenges with downturn in almost all sectors and the GDP growth rate falling to 5.2%, the lowest level in the last decade. A hard year for real estate The year 2012 was also the gloomiest year for the Vietnamese real estate sector, which witnessed dramatic drop in property prices. Despite the various attractive support packages offered by developers, the market still showed almost no liquidity in all segments. In the area of retail space leasing, from being the most attractive investment market in Asia, Vietnam was dropped from the Top 30 best investment markets in 2012, resulting in fierce competition among real estate developers. Due to the increasing supply of retail space in contrast to decreasing demand and purchasing power, a number of tenants and shopping centres had to close down temporarily, which pulled market average rental rates down. Office leasing saw the supply increase sharply while the demand did not show any positive signals and, given the declining occupancy rate, a number of A-class buildings in the central business districts of Ho Chi Minh City had to reduce their rents by 10-30%, hoping to attract more tenants. Apartments and villas continued to suffer from poor liquidity, low demand, high interest rates and difficulties in mobilising capital. Residential prices also kept falling in all categories, from villas to townhouses and condominiums. The huge wave of pricedropping, bail-outs, and cutting losses has influenced many decisions in the real estate market, especially regarding the condominium segment. Throughout this turmoil, intolerable financial pressure and deficient liquidity, only a few developers were capable of standing their ground to continue construction and meet their promised project schedules. Tourism and hospitality According to statistics provided by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, the country’s tourism industry maintained an impressively high growth rate in 2012, registering a 13.86% increase over 2011 in the total number of tourists to 6,847,678. Taking into account that Europe, the main market for Vietnam- 34 OPERATIONS IN 2012 ese tourism, was suffering a severe economic crisis, this growth represented great success and consolidated Vietnam’s reputation as an attractive, safe and friendly tourist destination. The 2012 Vietnam Hotel Survey released by Grant Thornton showed that room occupancy in all segments experienced significant improvement this year, specifically, 66.4% for threestar hotels, 58.9% for four-star hotels, and 57.4% for five-star hotels, compared to less than 50% in all segments during the 2008 - 2009 world economic recession. This also attested to Vietnam’s amazing recovery. The United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) was quoted in Buenos Aires on December 25, 2012, predicting that Vietnam would rank second among the top new emerging destinations for international tourists in 2013. Healthcare services Vietnam currently has approximately 1,040 hospitals with a total of 150,000 beds for the entire national population of almost 90 million people, equivalent to 16.8 beds per 10,000 patients. The quality of healthcare services is generally poor, especially in rural and remote areas. With a huge potential market, increasing per capita income, and an annual average growth of 17.9% in healthcare expenditure during 2009-2014, the Vietnamese health sector needs to determine how to improve people’s access to standard health services and raise the quality of healthcare, including medical infrastructure, equipment, facilities and services. Operations in 2012 Vingroup’s 2012 net revenue hit VND7,904 billion, with profit after tax of VND1,847 billion, representing a 242% and 72% increase compared to 2011, respectively; accounting for 70% and 60% of its revenue and profits after tax budgets, respectively. Despite unexpected results in every business activity, Vingroup stood firm during the crisis and continued to steadily implement all its investment and business plans, demonstrating the Company’s strong economic potential as a dynamic and creative private corporation. Vingroup’s activities in its four strategic areas gained certain accomplishments, thanks to the great efforts by Vingroup staff and the leadership of the Group’s management. Being aware of the market cruxes, the Group exerted itself to accelerate construction and ensure the quality of all its real estate projects. In Vincom Village, special attention was paid to all common facilities and services to make it the best first-class residential complex in Vietnam. Despite the debilitating recession and delays of other projects across the nation, the Royal City and Times City construction sites still saw thousands of labourers working day and night to build the towers higher and higher and produce numerous other changes and progress to boast public admiration for Vingroup’s internal strength and determined will. In 2012, our shopping centres properties maintained high occupancy rates, including 100% for Vincom Center Ba Trieu and 93% at Vincom Center B Ho Chi Minh City. Another success in this field was the inauguration of Vincom Center A Ho Chi Minh City, which is an architectural landmark as well as a thriving shopping mall. It has been touted as the premier luxury shopping complex in Vietnam, with an occupancy rate in excess of 90%. In Hanoi, Vincom Mega Mall Royal City has pre-committed 80% of its retail space, even though it is still under construction, once again attesting to Vingroup’s reputation and position as the market leader in shopping mall and leasing in Vietnam. Vinpearl continued to consolidate its position as the flagship of the Vietnamese tourism industry in 2012 with impressive year-on-year revenue growth of 25%, and an 18% increase in the number of guests staying at Vinpearl hotels and resorts. Vinpearl Resort Nha Trang and Vinpearl Luxury Da Nang were also awarded Vietnam’s Top Ten Five Star Hotel Awards this year. The Group’s new venture into healthcare has also made considerable progress. During the first year of operation, Vinmec doctors and staff conducted health check-ups and provided treatment for 50,000 patients, in addition to performing more than 1,300 surgeries. Vinmec quickly put in place Vingroup’s distinctive core values in order to become a premium humanity-focused healthcare brand for the community. The year marked a significant milestone in Vingroup’s interna- tional integration with the very successful issuance of a total US$300 million international convertible bonds in March and July, which earned the Group an enviable reputation in the Asian and world financial markets. This was Vingroup’s second capital mobilisation in the international market since 2009, when it became the first Vietnamese enterprise to issue US$100 million convertible bonds on the Singapore Exchange. Vingroup’s real estate business was internationally recognised with two highly esteemed prizes: the “Best Developer Vingroup” and “Best Villa Development - Vincom Village” awards at the 2012 Southeast Asia Property Awards in Singapore. Vingroup also became an official Founding Member of the World Economic Forum, starting January 1, 2013. The Group concentrated on drastic organisational restructuring in 2012, focusing on developing an elite team, bringing its cultural values into full play, and enhancing training at all levels. Additionally, Vingroup has established a core value system based on its “golden” philosophy “Credibility Integrity - Creativity - Speed - Quality - Humanity” the main guidelines for building strong solidary and a distinctive corporate culture. Finally, in April 2012, Vingroup entered a contract with McKinsey & Company - the world’s leading management consulting firm - to involve them in the Group's project of strategic business plan review. Under this contract, McKinsey & Company has provided Vingroup with strategic analyses and proposals for short, medium and long-term business development strategies, with a vision to 2030, in order to realise Vingroup’s goal of becoming the leading real estate corporation in Southeast Asia and secure a rank among the world’s VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 35 The Group’s specific goals include: To complete all major projects and putting them into operation on time, including Royal City and Times City; To continue developing business and leasing activities in Vincom Centers and Vincom Mega Malls across the country; to advance the management capability of operational properties, constantly improving service quality to create momentum for developing other largescale projects in the future; To enhance marketing and advertising to attract domestic and international tourists; to increase revenues from Vinpearl hotels, resorts and recreational complexes such as Vinpearl Resort Nha Trang, Vinpearl Land, Vinpearl Luxury Nha Trang, Vinpearl Golf Club - Nha Trang, and Vinpearl Luxury Da Nang; To invest in human resources to improve the capacity of the Group’s personnel, especially senior managers; To expand cooperation proactively with major, highly capable and experienced partners; To amplify and implement effective domestic and international fund raising plans to finance the Group’s projects; To affirm the Group's sustainable business development strategy in parallel with positive contributions to the community and social activities; and To become the number one real estate developer and one of the largest private corporations in Vietnam in terms of scale and stature. largest companies. Challenges in 2013 According to the World Bank, even though the financial markets have improved, the global economy in 2013 will continue to experience tremendous difficulties in regaining its momentum for growth. Therefore, the World Bank has decided to cut the growth forecast for this year. The Vietnamese government will continue to implement tight monetary and fiscal policies in 2013, giving priority to stabilising the macro-economy and controlling the inflation rate at the practicably lowest level. Settling bad debts in the banking sector, unfreezing the real estate market and carrying out organisational restructuring in state-owned enterprises are among the major measures to encourage economic growth in Vietnam during the year. Enormous challenges lie ahead; however, the Vietnamese economy has shown some positive signals with comprehensive measures from the government, including solutions to overcome stagnant production, such as reducing tax and fees; unfreezing the real estate market; and settling bad debts, especially those in the banking sector. Orientations for 2013 2013 will be a significant year for Vingroup with two important projects in Hanoi, Royal City and Times City, nearing completion and hand-over. Vietnam’s leading premium large-scale shopping and recreation complexes at these projects will be put into operation, which requires optimum effort. With that in mind, Vingroup’s overriding goal for 2013 is to utilise all its resources to keep the projects up to their schedules for timely hand-over and inauguration. The Group will also focus on improving the quality of its human resources, and refining its system, aiming to become a leading private corporation in Vietnam and Asia. The 2013 real estate market is predicted to be challenging, but there is still room for opportunities thanks to the government’s positive macro-economic adjustments, demographic features, and the real local demand for housing. 36 OPERATIONS IN 2012 VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 37 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2012 performance versus budget In 2012, Vingroup’s net revenue from sale of properties and rendering of services was VND7,904 billion, representing an increase of 242% compared to the previous year; finance income was VND1,178 billion. Accordingly, total revenue reached VND9,083 billion, equivalent to 70% of the plan. 2012 Profit after tax increased by 72 % to VND1,847 billion against VND1,471 billion in 2011, accomplishing 60% of the Group’s budget. The failure to meet total revenue and profit budgets was mainly attributable to the ailing market, which influenced the progress of customer payments and, subsequently, residential handovers and the developer’s revenue recognition plan.

After the merger of Vinpearl JSC into Vincom JSC, the Company consolidated its income from hospitality, healthcare, fitness and beauty care services. Vingroup’s total assets as of December 31, 2012 amounted to VND55,825 billion, representing a year-on-year growth of over VND20,300 billion. This augmentation is fundamentally attributable to properties under construction at Vincom Center A Ho Chi Minh City, Royal City, Times City, and Vincom Village, Vinpearl’s assets, and its subsidiaries after the merger. Total costs for villa and apartment construction increased by closely 91% since the beginning of the year and are being booked under the inventory section because these projects are still under construction and the villas and apartments were yet to be handed-over to customers.

VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 51 RISK MANAGEMENT The Group’s exposure to liquidity risks arises primarily from mismatches between the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group monitors such risks by arranging long-term credit facilities from the banks and long-term corporate bonds to ensure that these loans/bonds will be settled once the Group completes the development of its properties and put them into commercial operation. The Group’s risk management policy was reviewed, consolidated and uniformly applied to all its business operations. A system of controls has been developed to ensure a reasonable balance between the cost of incurred risks and the cost of risk management. Management continually monitors the risk management process to ensure a reasonable balance between risk and risk control. Macro-economic risks Interest rate and credit risks The global economic slowdown and turmoil and uncertainty in the international financial markets precipitated by events such as the fiscal crisis in Europe, the downgrade of the United States’ sovereign rating, or signs of cooling in the Chinese economy and similar events may have a negative impact on Vietnam’s economy, adversely affecting the Vietnamese property market and slowing consumer spending, which, in turn, could have a negative effect on the Group’s financial condition and business operations. In the context of the 2008 global financial crisis, the Vietnamese government applied a series of stimulus measures and relaxed monetary and fiscal policies to help the national economy out of temporary difficulties. However, the consequences of these policies are seen in the instability of macro-economic factors that the country has been and will be facing, particularly the strong fluctuation of interest and inflation rates. All of the Group’s operations are conducted in Vietnam and all of its revenues are generated in the country. The Group is also subject to a political, economic, legal and regulatory environment in Vietnam that differs in certain significant respects from that in many other countries. Market risk resulting from changes in interest rates is primarily related to the Group’s long-term debt with floating interest rates. Vingroup manages interest rate risk by closely monitoring the situation in relevant markets, including money markets and the domestic and international economies, and uses this information to estimate and adjust its financial leverage and strategies for the current given situation. From time to time, the Vietnamese government adjusts its macroeconomic control policies to encourage or restrict development in the private property sector through measures related to, amongst other things, land grants, pre-sales of property, bank financing and taxation. These policies may reduce consumer interest in the Group’s property products. 52 STRATEGIC DIRECTION OF VINGROUP Liquidity risks Liquidity risks occur if the Group encounters difficulty in meeting its financial obligations due to a shortage of funds. Foreign exchange risks Risks related to foreign exchange appear when the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuates due to changes in the foreign exchange rates. The risk of changes in foreign currency rates relates primarily to its operating activities (a small portion of revenue and borrowings that originated in foreign currency). However, this risk is estimated in any issuance and the Group has an active mechanism to prevent this through adjusting rents in line with the CPI and other foreign currency income (if any). Property sector risks Vingroup’s business is heavily dependent on the performance of the Vietnamese property market because all of its properties and development projects are based in Vietnam. Therefore, any adverse developments in the Vietnamese property market, such as reduced demand or downward movement of rental yields and property prices, could materially adversely affect the Group’s business operations and financial situation. Meanwhile, the economic crisis has reduced the demand for real estate products and freezed the market for a long time, presenting major difficulties for the industry. for the raw materials used by its contractors and, if the prices of these materials fluctuate beyond a particular threshold, they must be renegotiated. The Group manages its commodity price risks by keeping a close watch on relevant information and the situation of the commodity market in order to properly manage the timing of purchases, construction plans and inventory levels. Key manager risks The Group’s success and growth depends largely upon its ability to identify, hire, train and retain an adequate number of skilled and qualified employees, including key management personnel. Certain key personnel, as well as qualified, experienced workers and managers, are essential for running the business and executing projects, and its ability to fulfil expansion plans depends on continuing to attract such personnel and increase its general workforce in the future. Building a strong management team and maintaining continuity is crucial to ensuring the Group’s future sustainable development. Material and commodity price risks The Group is affected by the volatility of the prices for certain commodities and materials used in the construction of its real estate projects. These prices are subject to domestic and international supply and demand, import/export tariffs and duties, domestic duties and various other factors. Most of its construction contracts utilise fixed unit prices VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 53 NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES HUMAN RESOURCE Vingroup focuses on respecting every employee's potential and distinction, as well as creating a dynamic, creative, humane and professional working environment offering favourable welfare policies, high incomes and equal development opportunities for all its staff.

BASIS OF PREPARATION 2.1 Accounting standards and system The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which are expressed in Vietnam dong (“VND”), are prepared in accordance with the Vietnamese Accounting System and Vietnamese Accounting Standards issued by the Ministry of Finance as per: Decision No. 149/2001/QD-BTC dated 31 December 2001 on the Issuance and Promulgation of Four Vietnamese Standards on Accounting (Series 1); Decision No. 165/2002/QD-BTC dated 31 December 2002 on the Issuance and Promulgation of Six Vietnamese Standards on Accounting (Series 2); Decision No. 234/2003/QD-BTC dated 30 December 2003 on the Issuance and Promulgation of Six Vietnamese Standards on Accounting (Series 3); Decision No. 12/2005/QD-BTC dated 15 February 2005 on the Issuance and Promulgation of Six Vietnamese Standards on Accounting (Series 4); and No. 100/2005/QD-BTC dated 28 December 2005 on the Issuance and Promulgation of Four Vietnamese Standards on Accounting (Series 5). The accompanying consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated cash flow statement and related notes, including their utilisation are not designed for those who are not informed about Vietnam’s accounting principles, procedures and practices and furthermore are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than Vietnam. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated balance sheet, the Group has also supplemented details of certain line items in the balance sheet, i.e. “Advances from customers” (Code 313), “Accrued expenses” (Code 316) and “Other short-term payables” (Code 319). The purpose of presenting these additional details in the consolidated balance sheet is to provide more relevant information to the users of these consolidated financial statements. These changes were approved by the Ministry of Finance in accordance with the Official Letter No. 5966/BTC/CDKT dated 4 May 2012 on supplementing details to the forms of the financial statements. 2.2 Applied accounting documentation system The Company’s applied accounting documentation system is the General Journal system. 2.3 Fiscal year The Group’s fiscal year applicable for the preparation of its consolidated financial statements starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December. 2.4 Accounting currency The consolidated financial statements are prepared in VND which is also the Company’s accounting currency. 2.5 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2012. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continued to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-company balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains or losses result from intra-company transactions are eliminated in full. VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 79 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by the Group and are presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 3.1 Change in accounting policies and disclosures The accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011. 3.1.1 Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Group adopts Circular 179/2012/TT-BTC providing guidance on recognition, measurement, treatment for foreign exchange differences issued by the Ministry of Finance on 24 October 2012 (“Circular 179”) in addition to Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 10 - Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (the “VAS 10”) adopted in prior years. Following Circular 179, at the end of the year, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into VND using buying exchange rate announced by the commercial bank where the Group maintains bank accounts. In 2011, inter-bank exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date was used for this translation. Circular 179 is applied from 2012 on prospective basis. Impacts of the change from using interbank exchange rate to buying exchange rate announced by the commercial bank for the year end translation to the financial statement as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012 are insignificant. 3.2 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 3.3 Inventories The perpetual method is used to record the costs of other inventories, in which construction materials are valued at the cost of purchase, on a first in first out basis. Provision for obsolete inventories An inventories provision is created for the estimated loss arising due to the impairment of value (through diminution, damage, obsolescence, etc.) of raw materials, finished goods, and other inventories owned by the Group, based on appropriate evidence of impairment available at the balance sheet date. Increases and decreases to the provision balance are recorded into the cost of goods sold account in the consolidated income statement. 3.4 Receivables Receivables are presented in the consolidated financial statements at the carrying amounts due from customers and other debtors, after provision for doubtful debts. The provision for doubtful debts represents amounts of outstanding receivables at the balance sheet date which are doubtful of being recovered. Increases and decreases to the provision balance are recorded as general and administrative expense in the consolidated income statement. 3.5 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of a tangible fixed asset comprises of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the tangible fixed asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, improvements and renewals are added to the carrying amount of the assets and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to the consolidated income statement as incurred. When tangible fixed assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the consolidated income statement. 3.6 Intangible fixed assets Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Property acquired or being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for rental or capital appreciation, is held as inventory and is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of an intangible fixed asset comprises of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of preparing the intangible fixed asset for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, improvements are added to the carrying amount of the assets and other expenditures are charged to the consolidated income statement as incurred. When intangible fixed assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated amortisation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the consolidated income statement. Cost includes: 3.7 Depreciation and amortisation Inventory property Freehold and leasehold rights for land; Amounts paid to contractors for construction; and Borrowing costs, planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, based on market prices at the reporting date and less costs to completion and the estimated costs of sale. The cost of inventory recognised in profit or loss on disposal is determined with reference to the specific costs incurred on the property sold and an allocation of any non-specific costs based on the relative size of the inventory property sold. Other inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition and net realisable value. Depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible fixed assets are calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Buildings and structures Other structures Machineries and equipment Motor vehicles Office equipment Computer software Copy rights Land use rights with definite term Land rental rights Others 25 - 50 years 10 - 20 years 3 - 15 years 3 - 12 years 4 - 8 years 3 - 8 years 4 - 8 years 45 - 48 years 20 years 8 - 15 years No amortisation is charged on land use rights with indefinite terms. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 80 UNDER VIETNAMESE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (VAS) VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 81 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3.8 Investment properties Property acquisitions and business combinations Investment properties are stated at cost including transaction costs less accumulated depreciation. The Group acquires subsidiaries that own real estate. At the time of acquisition, the Group considers whether the acquisition represents the acquisition of a business. The Group accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where an integrated set of activities is acquired in addition to the property. More specifically, consideration is made of the extent to which significant processes are acquired and, in particular, the extent of ancillary services provided by the subsidiary (e.g., maintenance, cleaning, security, bookkeeping, hotel services, etc.). The significance of any process is judged with reference to the guidance in Vietnamese Accounting Standard No. 5 about ancillary services. Subsequent expenditure relating to an investment property that has already been recognized is added to the net book value of the investment property when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing investment property, will flow to the Group. Depreciation and amortisation of investment properties are calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Land use rights Buildings Others 46 - 48 years 30 - 47 years 8 - 15 years When the acquisition of subsidiaries does not represent a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities. The cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values, and no goodwill or deferred tax is recognised. Changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries without loss of control Land use rights presented as investment properties include definite land use rights granted to the Group for the development of its investment properties. Such definite land use rights are amortised over the use term. When the Company acquires a minority interest in an existing subsidiary, the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying value of net assets acquired is presented as goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet. Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment properties are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets is recognised in the consolidated income statement in the year of retirement or disposal. Where there is a partial disposal of ownership interest in an existing subsidiary without loss of control, a gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement at the difference of the consideration received and the carrying value of net assets disposed. Transfers are made to investment properties when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of owneroccupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment properties when, and only when, there is change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale. The transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories does not change the cost or the carrying value of the property for subsequent accounting at the date of change in use. 3.9 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs are recorded as expense during the year in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized as explained in the following paragraph. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. 3.10 Prepaid expenses Prepaid expenses are reported as short-term or long-term prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheet and amortised over the period for which the amount are paid or the period in which economic benefit are generated in relation to these expenses. Long-term prepaid expenses include prepaid land rental, bond issue costs and other long-term expenses that bring future economic benefits for more than one year period. 3.11 Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for as follows: The assets and liabilities of the two combined entities are reflected at their carrying amounts on the date of business combination; No goodwill is recognised from the business combination; The consoldated income statement reflects the results of the combined entities from the date of the business combination; and Any difference between the consideration paid and the net assets of the “acquiree” is recorded in equity. 3.12 Investment in associates The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence that is neither subsidiaries nor joint ventures. The Group generally deems they have significant influence if they have over 20% of the voting rights. Under the equity method, the investment is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill arising on acquisition of the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is amortized over 10-year period. The consolidated income statement reflects the share of the postacquisition results of operation of the associate. The share of post-acquisition profit/(loss) of the associates is presented on face of the consolidated income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividend/profit sharing received or receivable from associates reduces the carrying amount of the investment. Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair values at the date of business combination. The financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same reporting year as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If the cost of a business combination is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated income statement. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated amortization. Good will is amortized over 10-year period on a straight-line basis. Investments in securities and other investments are stated at their acquisition costs. Provision is made for any diminution in value of the marketable investments at the balance sheet date representing the excess of the acquisition cost over the market value at that date in accordance with the guidance under Circular 228/2009/TT-BTC issued by the Ministry of Finance on 7 December 2009. Increases and decreases to the provision balance are recorded as finance expense in the consolidated income statement. 82 UNDER VIETNAMESE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (VAS) 3.13 Investments in securities and other investments VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 83 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3.14 Payables and accruals Revenue from sale of inventory property Payables and accruals are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Payables to contractors are recorded based on interim work certificates between two parties, regardless of whether or not billed to the Group. Revenue from sale of inventory property is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the properties have passed to the buyer. 3.15 Accrual for severance pay The severance pay to employee is accrued at the end of each reporting year for all employees who have more than 12 months in service up to 31 December 2008 at the rate of one-half of the average monthly salary for each year of service up to 31 December 2008 in accordance with the Labour Code, the Law on Social Insurance and related implementing guidance. Commencing 1 January 2009, the average monthly salary used in this calculation will be revised at the end of each reporting year following the average monthly salary of the 6-month period up to the reporting date. Any changes to the accrued amount will be taken to the consolidated income statement. This accrued severance pay is used to settle the termination allowance to be paid to employee upon termination of their labour contract following Article 42 of the Labour Code. Revenue from leasing of investment properties Rental income arising from leased investment properties is accounted for on a straight line basis over the lease terms of ongoing leases. Sale of goods Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually upon the delivery of the goods. Rendering of services Revenue from hotel, amusement park, hospital and other relating services is recorded when the services are rendered. 3.16 Foreign currency transactions Sale for golf membership card The Group follows the guidance under VAS 10 in relation to foreign currency transactions as applied consistently in prior years. In addition to VAS 10, starting from 2012, the Group adopts Circular 179 in relation to foreign currency transaction which impacts are presented in Note 3.1.1. Revenue from sale of golf course membership card is recorded into the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis during the term of membership. Transactions in currencies other than the Group’s reporting currency of VND are recorded at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of the year, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at buying exchange rate announced by the commercial bank where the Group maintains bank accounts at the balance sheet date. All realised and unrealised foreign exchange differences are taken to the consolidated income statement. 3.17 Treasury shares Own equity instruments which are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss upon purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. 3.18 Appropriation of net profits Net profit after tax is available for appropriation to investors after approval in the annual general meeting, and after making appropriation to reserve funds in accordance with the Company’s Charter and Vietnam’s regulatory requirements. The Group maintains the financial reserve fund which is appropriated from the Group’s net profit as proposed by the Board of Directors and subject to approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting. Financial reserve fund set aside to protect the Group's normal operations from business risks or losses, or to prepare for unforeseen losses or damages for objective reasons and force majeure, such as fire, economic and financial turmoil of the country or elsewhere. 3.19 Customers’ deposits Payments received from customers as deposits for the purchase of residential properties in the future that do not meet the conditions for revenue recognition, are recognized and presented as “Advances from customers” in the liability section of the consolidated balance sheet. Payments received from customers under loan agreements are recognized and presented as “Other short-term payables” in the liability section of the consolidated balance sheet. 3.20 Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding trade discount, rebate and sales return. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: 84 UNDER VIETNAMESE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (VAS) Gains from securities trading/capital transfer Gains from securities trading and capital transfer are determined as the excess of selling prices against the cost of securities sold. Such gain is recognized on the trade date when the relevant contracts are executed. Interest Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (taking into account the effective yield on the asset) unless collectibility is in doubt. Dividends Income is recognised when the Group’s entitlement as an investor to receive the dividend is established. 3.21 Taxation Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted as at the consolidated balance sheet date. Current income tax is charged or credited to the consolidated income statement, except when it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case the current income tax is also dealt with in equity. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right for the Group to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Deferred income tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the consolidated balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the related transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and in respect of taxable temporarily differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures where timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. VINGROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2012 85 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax credit and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax credit and unused tax losses can be utilised, except: where the deferred tax asset in respect of deductible temporary difference which arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability which at the time of the related transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and in respect of deductible temporarily differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Previously unrecognised deferred income tax assets are re assessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset realised or the liability is settled based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the consolidated income statement, except when it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in the equity account. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right for the Group to off-set current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on: either the same taxable entity; or when the Group intends either settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. 3.22 Financial instruments Financial instruments - subsequent re-measurement There is currently no guidance in relation to subsequent re-measurement of financial instruments. Accordingly, financial instruments are subsequently carried at cost. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. 3.23 Convertible bond/ loan Bonds/loans that are convertible by the holder into a fixed number of ordinary shares of the entity are separated into financial liability (a contractual arrangement to deliver cash or another financial asset) and equity instrument (a call option granting the holder the right, for a specified period of time) based on the terms of the contract. In cases where the numbers of ordinary shares to be converted is not fixed, the entire convertible bonds are classified as a financial liability. On issuance of the convertible bond/loan, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond/loan. This amount is classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity. Transaction costs are deducted from equity, net of associated income tax. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not re-measured in subsequent years. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bond based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognised. In 2012, the Group issued US$300 million convertible bonds with a term of 5 years and a US$25 million loan convertible into ordinary shares of a subsidiary (to be formed in the future) with a term of 4 years. Management has assessed that there is no equity component in these convertible bonds and convertible loan (since there is no known fixed number of shares to be converted on issue date) and as a result, has recognized the entire convertible bonds and convertible loan as financial liabilities. Financial instruments – initial recognition and presentation Financial assets Financial assets within the scope of Circular 210 are classified, for disclosures in the notes Financial assets within the scope of Circular 210/2009/TT-BTC issued by the Ministry of Finance on 6 November 2011 guiding the application of the International Accounting Standards on presentation of financial statements and disclosures of financial instruments (“Circular 210”), are classified, for disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables or available-for-sale financial assets as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. All financial assets are recognised initially at cost plus directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, loan receivables, quoted and unquoted financial instruments. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities within the scope of Circular 210 are classified, for disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortised cost as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at cost plus directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, convertible loans, loans and borrowings. 86 UNDER VIETNAMESE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (VAS) 4.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES REAL ESTATE Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group. The Group has a system of controls in place to create an acceptable balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. The management continually monitors the Group's risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. Management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below: Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, deposits and financial investments. The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011. The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt and derivatives and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant. In calculating the sensitivity analyses, management assumed that the sensitivity of the relevant income statement item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011. 124 UNDER VIETNAMESE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (VAS) Total liabilities (4) Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates, as well as loan receivables with floating interest rates.
