In addition, other short-term assets grew VND 47 billion, growing by 28.4% over the same period. A bright spot in the structure of short-term assets at the end of Q1/2023 was the decrease in short-term trade receivables. Compared to the beginning period, short-term trade receivables reduced by nearly VND 644 billion to VND 2,795 billion.

A change in the capital structure in Q1/2023 was recorded when the Company re-structured the payables, gradually converting short-term to long-term loans. Specifically, the Company’s short-term loan reduced more than VND 511 billion while the long-term loan grew by VND 400 billion.
