II Analysis of profit/loss and balance sheet

The balance sheet is one in every of the three core financial statements that are accustomed

to evaluating a business It could be a tool that gives a snapshot of what an organization owns and owes, as well as the amount of money invested by shareholders

Balance sheets are often used with the financial statement to conduct fundamental analysis

or to calculate financial ratios

2.1 Balance sheet

2.1.1 Total assets

Overall, the total assets of KDH had remained unchanged in the last three consecutive years with the current assets accounting for most of its total assets, at 93.45% From 2018 to

2019, there was a slight decrease in the total current asset, from 93.57% in 2018 to 93.12% in

2019 From 2019 to 2020, the growth rate went up a little bit to 93.45% (Figure 01)

There are slight changes in both the current assets and non-current assets, aimed to reach balance

in proportion where they are 93.45% and 6.66%, respectively (Table A)

2.1.2 Current asset

Over three years, the inventory made up the highest proportion in Khang Dien’s total current assets, from 56.88% in 2018 before slightly decreasing to 53.16% in 2019 and reaching 52.66% in 2020 (Table A) In the real estate industry, having high inventory accounts for many reasons First, from the financial statement, we could see that the company land bank had been acquired and became under-developed projects

Also, in 2018, Khang Dien completed its merger with Khang Phuc House and launched two high-end condo projects Jamila and Safira in Thu Duc City, following this, it continued to launch other strategic projects such as Verosa Park - high-end townhouses and villas and Lovera Vista condo Furthermore, due to the outbreak of the Covid-19, there had been many delays in the ongoing projects, which contributed to the higher amount of inventory It is not to mention that there were completed projects but yet not sold to customers as they faced many financial problems due to Covid 19, which led to less money invested in real estate This was the common issue of the real estate industry over the course of the pandemic

2.1.3 Non-current assets

The growth rate of non-current assets in the period 2018 was 6.43% but then increased

to 6.88% in 2019 due to the strong growth of investment properties and long-term assets in progress and finally reached 6.55% in 2020 (Figure 01) There are not many fluctuations in non-current assets over the three-year period It could be indicated from the growth of long-term assets from 4.56% in 2018 to 4.98% in 2019 that Khang Dien increased charter capital and

2.1.4 Total liabilities

Generally, the company’s liabilities showed a downward trend in both current and current liabilities Over this period, Khang Dien might have restructured its liabilities, which could be explained by alteration in current and non-current liabilities, it attempted to decrease its liabilities, which could control its outflow efficiently (Figure 02)

non-2.1.5 Current liabilities

The largest changes belonged to short-term advances from customers, which achieved 62.64% in total changes from 2018 to 2019 before experiencing a significant downturn to -296.05% between 2019 and 2020 (Table B) This decrease could be explained as in 2020, more projects had been finished which led to the decrease in advance from the customers and recognition of revenue

It is clearly seen that Covid 19 had a profound impact on the industry It hindered the operations of the company and slowed down the process Most notably, the short-term trade payables showed a downward trend between 2018 and 2019 (18.32%, Table B) Therefore, in

2020, after the projects were finished, the payable amount will be less, as the company pays off the debts to the contractor

In adverse, short-term loans showed an opposite trend The changes of 2018 and 2019 were around -11% then climbed significantly to 201.38% (Table B) One significant factor in the rise of short-term loans might come from the financing activities of the company Due to the impact of the pandemic, the company needed money to finance its operating capital, which is why short-term loans had a slope increase

2.1.6 Non-current liabilities

As mentioned above, it is easily noticeable that long-term loans gained 321.05% over the total of changes from 2019 to 2020 since it borrowed more from the financial institutions

In addition, long-term advances from customers fell to -12.95% in the changes from 2019 to

2020, compared to 1.18% in the changes from 2018 to 2019 since more projects had been completed (Table B) In short, Khang Dien’s liability structure changed according to the pandemic situation

2.1.7 Total equity

It could be seen that the share capital holds the largest proportion of owner’s equity with nearly 60% in 2018 and more than 70% in 2019 and 2020, which has the biggest change

in 2018 and 2019 with more than 170% increase (Table C) To run new projects and mergers

as mentioned above, Khang Dien had an upswing of its share capital, which led to a surge between 2018 and 2019, and this continued to be raised in 2020

Some various reasons could be mentioned that during this period, the company

conducted a large number of projects, which required a large amount of capital As a result, the company decided to pay fewer dividends in cash and issued stocks for the

shareholders Besides, the treasury shares showed a sharp increase as in 2020, Khang Dien bought twenty million treasury shares, this was because the market value its stocks fell sharply from the outbreak the market value of KDH’s stocks fell sharply from the outbreak of Covid-

19 in Vietnam In addition, shares premium declined by -321.27% between 2018 and 2019 as the company paid its dividends by stocks to its shareholders

2.1.8 Comparison with competitor- PDR

According to the tables above, it is clearly seen that the total assets of Phat Dat (PDR) are slightly higher than that of KDH Conversely, Khang Dien’s owner equity is superior, which was around 1.5 times higher than the owner’s equity of PDR Moreover, there was a significant difference between the liabilities of these two companies KDH used less leverage in order to finance its projects, whilst PDR mainly used leverage for its operation

2.2 Income statement:

Income Statement is used to report the revenue, profit (or loss) of companies over a period

of time The profit or loss of the firm is calculated by combining revenues and subtracting all expenses from both operating and non-operating activities

2018&2019

CHANGE 2019&2020 TOTAL REVENUE 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% -2.57% 62.28% REVENUE

2.2.1 Revenue

As a real estate developer, Khang Dien House creates and obtains profit and revenue from selling commercial real estate properties varying from high-end apartment complexes to luxurious villa compounds

During the stage of 2018, the firm’s revenue reached VND 2,920 billion, which was 2.57% higher than the previous year In 2019, the company only accumulated VND 2,845 billion

in revenue, which was the lowest in the three years period from 2018 to 2020 Moving on to

2020, the firm saw a drastic increase with a whopping VND 4,617 billion of revenue, or 62.28% increase, triumphant all the obtained total revenue from the previous period

2.2.2 Cost of goods sold (COGS)

For a company of developing real estates, most of the costs for their goods sold (COGS) are mostly attributed to activities relating to land clearance, infrastructure development, fees/taxes for changing the usage of land

Throughout the three selected years, Khang Dien managed to keep all total costs of goods sold to be below 60% of the total revenue, during this, the year with the highest figure of COGS was 2018, with the COGS were f VND 1,677 billion, which was 57.43 % of the total revenue Overall, the company has managed to keep the consistency in the COGS to generate excessive profit for the shareholders and finance its growth

2.2.3 Earnings per share (EPS)

Khang Dien House’s annual earnings per share (EPS) had a stable and well-rounded performance throughout the three years The firm’s EPS encountered a minor decline in 2019, and received a massive increase of EPS in 2020, in terms of value and growth rate

Despite its earnings per share seeing a sharp decrease of -16.33% growth in the second year, its overall net income and net revenue in 2019 still hold up to its previous year data In

2020, the firm’s EPS was able to obtain a recovery and increased by VND 350

2.2.4 Net Income

to 2020, the company saw extensive growth in the net income

2.2.5 Comparison with competitors

Comparing Khang Dien House (KDH) financial position with its competitor, Phat Dat corporation (PDR) through the respective financial statements, it could be seen that both of the companies managed to achieve explosive and continuous growth In 2020, Khang Dien firm’s overall revenue was VND 4,616,848,443,000 which is 162.28% higher than the previous year, and Phat Dat corporation was able to accumulate VND 1,540,220,143,183 of total revenue, 139.34% higher than the prior figures

However, taking into account the overall scale, Khang Dien is superior to Phat Dat regarding many aspects, such as organizational scale, revenue and profit, operating range, and most importantly, experiences

III Ratio's analysis

3.1 Short-term solvency/Liquidity ratios

Liquidity ratios are considered as parameters in order to measure a company’s ability to pay off its short-term debt and liabilities (Adam, 2021) For a company, the higher liquidity ratios, the stronger it is, as it can repay its current liabilities without any further financial assistance

Liquidity ratios are also an important indicator of the going concern viability of a company The company which has lower liquidity ratios may not be favored by the potential investors Liquidity ratios often include: current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio

as it considers the current asset over the current liabilities

In 2018, the current ratio of KDH was 3,45, which means that the company held the current asset that could pay off three times its current liabilities, which was a strong ratio for a real estate company In 2019, this ratio declined by 0,75 to 2,7 This was the result of in the year of

2019, the pace of increasing in current liabilities was higher than the pace of increasing in the current asset This considerable increase could be explained as in the year of 2019, the

company received more money from the customers for purchasing their properties In 2020, this ratio was 3,09, which was 115% in comparison with the previous year Over this period, the current assets of the company, especially cash and cash equivalents, and inventory

3.1.2 Quick Ratio

Quick ratio plays an essential role in analyzing a company’s ability to meet its term liabilities with its most liquid asset Liquid assets are the assets that can be converted into cash within 90 days whilst current liabilities are those debts that require the company to pay within a span of a year (Adam,2021)

short-In 2018, the ratio of KDH was 1,30 However, this ratio declined to 1,09 in 2019 as the cash and cash equivalents decreased whilst the increase in account receivable could not keep up with the increase in current liability This ratio increased to 1,27 in 2020, as the current liability

of KDH decreased in terms of short-term trade payables and short-term advances from customers

Quick ratios of KDH over 2018,2019,2020 were always above 1, which means that KDH could meet its short-term liabilities with its most current asset These figures of KDH were highly favored by the investors, as well as the creditors

3.1.3 Cash Ratio:

Cash ratio illustrates how a company can pay off its current liabilities using only its cash and cash equivalents (Will,2021) This ratio can be calculated by dividing cash and cash equivalents to current liabilities This ratio is most favored by creditors, when it shows them how a company can maintain an adequate amount of cash in order to pay off all of their due debt However, this ratio is not favored by the investors, when the cash ratio is too high, it shows that the company is not using its abundant amount of cash effectively

The cash ratio of 2019 witnessed a sharp decline by 0,4, this was of the result that in this year, the company spent more money on inventory, as well as the current account receivable increased In 2020, this ratio pulled back to 0,44, as the cash of KDH increased

When compared with PDR, the current ratio of KDH was almost the same in 2019 and

2020 with the ratios varying around 2.0-3.0 However, there were huge differences among the quick ratios of KDH and PDR, while KDH maintained the above 1 quick ratio, PDR’s ratios were below 1 in 2019 and 2020, which means that PDR will face difficulties paying off its liabilities using its liquid assets KDH showed its superiority in maintaining the cash ratio significantly higher than PDR from 2018 to 2020 Especially, the cash ratio of PDR was only 0,01 while KDH’s ratio was 44 times higher

3.2 Long-term solvency/Leverage ratios

Long-term Solvency refers to a firm’s ability to pay its long-term financial obligations along with the associated interest

3.2.1 Total debt ratio:

Total debt ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilities related to total assets It reflects the financial leverage of a company This ratio might be varied depending on the industry (Adam, 2020)

In 2018, the ratio was 0,33, and it increased to 0,42 and 0,41 in 2019 and 2020, respectively, as KDH received more advance money from the customers to purchase their property

3.2.2 Debt/ Equity Ratio (D/E):

This ratio is calculated by dividing the total liabilities to its owner’s equity

D/E plays a significant role in corporate finance, for it represents the ability to cover the debts in case the business witnesses the decline using the owner's capital

As we can observe, in 2019 and 2020, the total debt, as well as the owner’s equity of KDH increased concurrently As a result, the D/E ratio of KDH remained stable at around 0,7

3.2.3 Time interest earned (TIE):

This indicator can be calculated by dividing EBITDA to Interest expense When analyzing KDH, The TIE ratio of KDH was outstanding in comparison with others In 2020, there was no interest expense for the company, and KDH could easily cover its interest expenses without facing any difficulties

When comparing with PDR, one of KDH's competitors, it could be inferred that KDH used less leverage than its rivals, since the total debt ratio, as well as D/E ratio of KDH was 3-5 times lesser than PDR As a result, during business downtime, KDH would pay off its debt easier than its rival Also, from this, we can see that KDH is healthier in terms of financial stability since it can cover most of its debt instantly

off their interest expenses, since the interest expenses only accounted for a small amount of their EBITA

3.3 Profitability ratios

Profitability ratios are a class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's capacity to generate earnings relative to its revenue, operating costs, balance sheet assets, or shareholders' equity over time, using data from a specific point in time

Profitability ratios can be compared with efficiency ratios, which consider how well a company creates profit and value for its owners (Adam, 2021)

3.2.1 ROA (return on asset):

ROA is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets In general,

a higher the ROA, the more efficient the company is at generating profits (Marshall, 2021) Khang Dien experienced the alteration in ROA

Firstly, it dropped 12.5% in the 2018-2019 period, then this ratio increased 1% to 8% in

2020 Overall, Khang Dien shows the efficiency of gaining profit as when being compared withcompetitor - Phat Dat Corp, Khang Dien had a higher percentage of ROA, which showed that Khang Dien’s business activities created more profits than that of Phat Dat

3.2.2 ROE (Return o n Equity):

Return on equity (ROE) is a financial ratio that tells you how much profit a public company earns in comparison to the net assets it holds In addition, it is used to compare the performance of businesses in the same industry as well as to measure management's capacity to create income from available equity (Jason, 2021)

It is considered that ROE ratio in the range of 15 to 20 percent is good for companies as

it will be less competitive and does not require substantial assets to generate revenues As can

be seen from the table, the average ratio of the company is below the good range The ROE ratio

in 2018 was 12%, then it maintained the same in 2019, which means that the company was stable at creating profits through the activities However, the ratio increased slightly from 2019

to 2020 from 12% to 14%, reaching the highest value in three years A remarkable ROE extended from 12% to 14% despite increasing in owner's equity because the company achieved profit-growth
