3.2. Current status of criteria for determining enterprise value of selected forestry companies for research

In addition to regional representation, the three companies selected as research sites also represent large-medium and small-scale production. For comparison, the author selected Nguyen Van Troi Forestry Company - Tuyen Quang, a forestry company that used the criteria for determining enterprise value to pilot the equitization plan in 2018.

Currently, forestry companies are using criteria to determine enterprise value according to the regulations of the Ministry of Finance. State-owned enterprises mainly determine enterprise value by the asset method, because this method is simple and easy to calculate, the data used is mostly from accounting reports, and for state-owned enterprises in the forestry sector in the past, they also used the asset method to determine their value, the results of using criteria to determine enterprise value of companies are as follows:

The results of Table 3.6 show that the criteria used to determine the enterprise value at Yen Son Forestry Company Limited have not changed over the past 3 years, 2017-2019. The determination of the company's value uses the asset method and is in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Finance. The value of the enterprise is divided into 2 groups: short-term assets and long-term assets.

The company's current assets are mainly short-term assets, accounting for more than 90% of the company's total assets, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables, inventories and other short-term assets. In which, cash and cash equivalents are the current cash in the current balance sheet. Short-term receivables are money that customers still owe the company, which has been invoiced but not yet transferred. The company's inventories are mainly the criteria for the value of production forests and partly from the value of sawn timber and wood chips in inventory that have not been consumed. The criteria for the value of production forests are collected from the costs incurred in the process of forest construction and annual forest care costs. Other short-term assets are short-term assets that can be converted into cash but are not classified in the above categories.

Using the above criteria to calculate the company's short-term assets has the limitation that the forest value is aggregated into the inventory item. With such a calculation, it only shows the cost of planting forests without showing the potential value, so for forestry enterprises, it is necessary to separate the forest value into a separate item. The inventory value criterion decreased sharply from VND 20.81 billion in 2017 to VND 11.29 billion in 2019. The inventory value criterion decreased because the company exploited the production forest area and the inventory value was transferred to the short-term receivables from customers.

Long-term assets include tangible fixed assets, long-term investments of the enterprise and other long-term assets, long-term assets account for an insignificant proportion of the total assets of the company. Criteria for the value of long-term assets of


The company's main asset value is fixed assets, other long-term assets account for an insignificant proportion. The company's fixed assets are the remaining book value of buildings, structures and machinery and equipment. The company's fixed assets have fluctuated greatly in the past 3 years, with an average growth rate of 127.08%. This fluctuation is due to the company's fixed asset purchase and liquidation activities. Other long-term assets are the remaining book value of small production machinery and equipment such as weed cutters and sprayers.

In summary, through analyzing the current status of the company's asset value, we can see that the company's assets are mainly short-term asset value criteria, while the long-term asset value criteria account for a low proportion. The company's asset value is largely in the inventory criteria.

Yen Son Forestry One Member Co., Ltd. does not determine the criteria for land use rights value and business advantage value (intangible value) in the enterprise value. The value of land use rights has not been included in the calculation by the company because the company chooses the option of leasing land with annual payment, so it is not included in determining the enterprise value. The value of business advantage has not been included in the calculation because compared to similar companies, Yen Son Forestry One Member Co., Ltd. does not have any distinct advantages to calculate business advantage. In addition, the criteria for the enterprise's debts are not included in the company's balance sheet.

Thus, it can be seen that with the asset method and the criteria listed in the balance sheet, the company's goal is to determine the value based on the current status of the company's assets. The value of the forest is included in the inventory item, this accounting method is not really reasonable when determining the value of the enterprise. This method does not show the value of the enterprise after deducting debts, nor does it show the advantages and development potential of the enterprise in the future.


3.2.2. Current status of criteria for determining enterprise value of Quy Nhon Forestry One Member Co., Ltd.

The results of the current status of criteria for determining the enterprise value of Quy Nhon Forestry One Member Co., Ltd. in 3 years (2017-2019) are shown in Table 3.4.

Similar to Yen Son Forestry Company Limited, Quy Nhon Forestry Company Limited also determines the enterprise value according to the asset method and uses the balance sheet, accounting book form and bookkeeping vouchers, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Finance.

The value of the State capital includes the criteria for short-term asset value and long-term asset value, the criteria for land use rights value and intangible values ​​such as business advantages that have not been included in the calculation of the company's assets. Because the company's land is leased land with annual payment, it is not included in determining the enterprise value.

However, compared to Yen Son Forestry Company Limited, the criteria for determining enterprise value are gathered in more detail by Quy Nhon Forestry Company Limited. The reason for this difference is due to the characteristics of production and business and the difference in accounting processes of the companies.

Current assets account for a large proportion of the company's total assets, about 90%. The company's current assets include five items; cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial investments, short-term receivables, inventories, and other current assets.

In which cash and cash equivalents are the current cash in the current balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents tend to increase over 3 years with an average growth rate of 155.59%, this item increases because the company receives money from short-term financial investments.


The company's short-term financial investments are mainly bank deposits, which account for a large proportion of the company's total assets and have been on a downward trend over the past 3 years, with an average growth rate of 55.65%. Short-term receivables are money owed to the company by customers, which have been invoiced but not yet transferred. The company's short-term receivables tend to increase rapidly, with an average growth rate of 144.6%.

The company's inventory is mainly the criterion for the value of production forests, collected from the annual costs of planting and caring for forests. Because the potential value of forests has not been taken into account and the discount rate has not been used to convert cash flows over time, the forest value is calculated very low, not reflecting the actual value. The value of the company's inventory accounts for about 30% of the total asset value, and tends to increase with an average growth rate of 114.72%. Other current assets are short-term assets that can be converted into cash but are not classified in the above categories, this item has an insignificant value.

The company's long-term assets are grouped into six items including; long-term receivables, fixed assets, investment real estate, long-term unfinished assets, long-term financial investments, and other long-term assets. Compared to Yen Son Forestry Company Limited, the criteria for determining long-term assets of Quy Nhon Forestry Company Limited has taken into account the value of investment real estate, however, the value of forest land has not been included in the calculation.

The criteria for the value of the company's long-term assets are mainly the value of fixed assets and long-term financial investments. The company's fixed assets are the remaining value on the accounting books of buildings, structures and machinery and equipment. The company's fixed assets have tended to increase over the past 3 years, with an average growth rate of 130.44%.
