Percentiles rank each fiscal year against Vietnamese non-financial companies (0 lowest, 100 highest). Over FY2015-2024, low cash conversion and a large share of receivables outside the trade cycle came before more listing trouble and more net losses the next year.
Statutory loss tests (Decree 155/2020/NĐ-CP, Art. 120(1)(e), amended by Decree 245/2025/NĐ-CP): a HOSE or HNX listing is cancelled when the audited annual statements show net losses in each of the latest 3 years, accumulated losses above the paid-in charter capital, or negative owner's equity. Read here from the annual statements as the data vendor publishes them. The company trades on UPCoM, where these tests do not apply.
The company's Beneish M-Score is -0.5139 (91st percentile versus Vietnamese peers) with a year-over-year increase of +2.07, signalling more aggressive accounting relative to peers and an upward trajectory in the score. Other signals are mixed: strong Piotroski fundamentals (F-Score 7/9) and perfect accruals and receivables quality, but a very weak Altman Z-Score of -0.26 (distress zone), margin-quality = 0/100, low cash-conversion (40/100) and statutory accounting outcomes showing accumulated losses exceed paid-in capital and three consecutive yearly losses to FY2025.
- Beneish M-Score -0.5139, Vietnam peer percentile 91st: the score itself is above most Vietnamese peers and has risen by +2.07 year-over-year; the -1.78 US cutoff is not directly applicable here, so the peer percentile and upward move are the more relevant cues.
- Altman Z-Score -0.26: this places the company in the distress zone for bankruptcy distance (Altman framework), indicating thin or negative insolvency buffers on published financials.
- Statutory loss tests / balance-sheet outcomes: accumulated losses = 1.72x paid-in capital; negative owner's equity (excluding minority interest); and net losses reported for four consecutive years up to FY2025 — the published statements meet the statutory loss conditions described (noting UPCoM listing is outside HOSE/HNX cancellation rules).
- Margin quality 0.0/100 and low Cash conversion 40.0/100: these indicate reported margins are not supported by underlying operational cash flows and that cash conversion of profits is weak.
- SGI (sales growth index) = 4.2140 and DEPI = 1.1032: very high sales growth index combined with DEPI >1 suggests rapid revenue expansion alongside slower depreciation recognition (DEPI >1 means depreciation expense fell relative to the prior period), which can be a mechanical source of rising profits or distortion in profit margins.
- Piotroski F-Score 7/9: the F-Score implies several strengthening operational and profitability fundamentals (e.g., improved ROA, cash flow, leverage or working-capital metrics embedded in the F-Score components).
- Accruals quality 100/100 and Receivables quality 100/100: accrual measures and the composition/aging of receivables (as measured here) appear high quality on the published statements.
- TATA (total accruals to total assets) = -0.0256: a small negative TATA indicates modest total accruals relative to assets in the period measured, consistent with the high accruals-quality score.
- AQI (asset quality index) = 0.9966 and LVGI (leverage growth index) = 1.0150: AQI ≈1 indicates no large jump in asset reclassifications or capitalization that inflate profit; LVGI near 1 indicates leverage has been relatively stable year-over-year.
Major shareholder Tổng Công ty lắp máy Việt Nam holds 36.0%, indicating concentrated institutional/group control; the next largest individual holdings are small (2.1%, 1.8%, 1.6%, 0.4%). No director-deal registrations were supplied in the provided data (director registrations are exchange-filed intentions rather than executed trades).
- Compare the line items and note for 'Accumulated losses' and 'Paid-in capital' in the audited FY2025 statement to confirm the 1.72x ratio and the statutory loss wording in the accountant's report.
- Reconcile the cash-flow-from-operations (consolidated and parent) for FY2025 with reported profit to check the Cash conversion score (verify statement of cash flows, operating section).
- Inspect the notes for property, plant and equipment and depreciation to confirm the DEPI = 1.1032 implication (check depreciation expense and any changes in useful lives or revaluations).
- Examine related-party schedules and the notes to receivables/prepayments to verify the 1.1% of total assets classified as receivables outside the trade cycle and to identify their counterparties and terms.
