Its market share is nationwide. The subject's business activity has been less affected by the Pandemic in the first years of operation (the period 2016 - 2020). However, in the first months of 2021, the subject also has met difficulty in debt collection due to the strong outbreak of the Pandemic in Vietnam.The subject's business result strongly increased in recent years, revenue reached tens of trillions dong per year. Especially last year, turnover was up to VND 15.5 trillion. However, the gross profit margin was very thin at below 1 percent hence the profitability performance was modest.Liabilities were the main funding sources for the subject's business activity but the company took good advantage of credit from its suppliers, the trade credits held 66.73% of total assets as of 31 Dec 2020. In addition, the subject also significantly used interest-bearing debts. The self-financing capacity was very weak with shareholder equity of below 3%. Generally, the financial leverage was less safe. The current assets were mainly "receivable from customers" and "Other receivable". Mr. Dung confirmed that the large "other receivable" came from other business activities of the company (besides the main operation). Noticeably, last year, the company did not record inventory at the end of the accounting period because imported goods were immediately distributed to its customers, it also has no warehouse, Mr. Dung said. Generally, liquidity capacity was acceptable.
