NSS

• Beneish M-Score = -1.5499: measures the likelihood of earnings manipulation using eight financial ratios; this score is above the US -1.78 cutoff and sits at the 79th percentile among Vietnamese peers (higher values imply more aggressive signals), and it rose by +0.72 year-over-year (the trajectory is a secondary cue).
• AQI (Asset Quality Index) = 2.4325: part of the M-Score that rises when non-current assets (like intangibles, other assets) increase relative to total assets; a high AQI can signal capitalising or reclassifying costs or growth in non-trade assets.
• SGAI (Sales, General & Admin Index) = 1.6308: measures growth in S,G&A relative to sales; a value >1 indicates S,G&A growing faster than sales, which can be a pressure point for earnings quality.
• TATA (Total Accruals to Total Assets) = 0.1299: measures accrual-based component of earnings; a positive TATA of ~13.0% of assets indicates earnings are being supported by accruals rather than cash flow.
• Cash conversion (3‑year operating cash flow / net profit) = 3.66 (88th percentile among VN companies): this high ratio (low cash conversion relative to profit) signals profits are not converting into cash compared with peers.
• Earnings-quality sub-scores: Cash conversion = 0.0/100 and Margin quality = 0.0/100, indicating especially weak signals for cash-based earnings and stable gross/net margins.

• DSRI (Days Sales in Receivables Index) = 1.0875: indicates receivables have risen modestly relative to sales (about an 8.8% increase in DSRI), not an extreme spike in days receivable.
• GMI (Gross Margin Index) = 0.9962: a value slightly below 1 means gross margin has been stable or slightly improved year-over-year, which is not a strong deterioration signal.
• DEPI (Depreciation Index) = 0.8757 and LVGI (Leverage Index) = 0.8231: DEPI <1 implies depreciation rates may have increased (or asset base aged) rather than decreased to boost profits; LVGI <1 implies leverage has not increased relative to assets, reducing leverage-related manipulation pressure.
• Receivables outside the trade cycle = 0.0% of total assets (2nd percentile among VN companies): there is no measurable stock of long-term receivables, prepayments outside trade, or related-party lending reported as a ratio of assets, which reduces one common area of concern.

Ownership is highly concentrated: Tổng Công ty Công Nghiệp Thực Phẩm Đồng Nai holds 84.3% (institutional, state-related industrial food conglomerate), with one individual at 7.9% and the remainder dispersed; concentrated majority control raises single-shareholder influence over governance and reporting choices. No director-deal registrations were provided in the dataset.

• Compare the components of AQI (notes or schedules on 'other long-term assets' and 'intangible assets') in the FY2025 balance sheet and the related accounting policy note to see what drove AQI to 2.4325.
• Reconcile operating cash flow to profit: verify the three-year operating cash flow and net profit lines in the cash flow statement and profit & loss to confirm the cash conversion ratio of 3.66.
• Inspect the notes on related-party transactions, loans receivable and prepayments to confirm the 0.0% receivables-outside-trade-cycle figure and to check for any disclosure of off‑balance-sheet or unconsolidated group items.
• Review the S,G&A disclosure and segment / cost breakdown that explain SGAI = 1.6308 (note or schedule showing S,G&A expense and how it changed relative to revenue).
