I.
Risk elements
1.
Economic risks
Economic growth and average income per capita affect the demand of consuming
cultural products such as books, films, CDs. If the economy is in the stagnant or
recessional period, the consumers’ buying behaviors will concentrate on those which
are neccessary for life such as food, clothing, shelter and will not focus on
entertainment, education, travelling, etc. Therefore, revenue and profit of those
companies in cultural field like Phuong Nam will be decrease, resulting in affecting
their share price.
Nowadays, the world’s economy is not stable and affects Vietnam economy’s
development and its businesses’ financial performance as well. The slow growth rate
of the world’s economy, the recession of the largest economy of the world – America,
and the fluctuation of crude oil and gasoline have much affected the economy of
Asian countries and Vietnam as well.
Although Vietnam economy has grown at stably high level (8.4%, 8.17% and 8.4% in
2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively) and is expected to increase from 6.5% to 7.5% in
2008-2010 period, it has signaled to grow slower than expected. High inflation, high
interest rate due to tight monetary policy, fluctuating exchange rate between Vietnam
currency and others (especially U.S. Dollar), and increasing input price of material
(especially the price of paper material and print cost are highly increasing) have
influenced companies’s business operations and people’s income. Consumer
spending for cultural products, entertainment and education is decreasing, which
affects operations of companies in the industry of cultural products such as Phuong
Nam Cultural Corporation.
2.
Risk of law
As a state-owned company transfered to a joint stock company having shares listed in
the Hochiminh Stock Exchange, Phuong Nam Culture Corporation’s operation is
influenced by legal documents of stock, stock exchange and regulations on listed
companies. Laws and under-law documents of this field are on the process of
improvement. Changes in policy are possible and at that time more or less will affect
the company’s administration and business operation. Moreover, the legal frame
adjusting the business of cultural products is still inadequate, therefore, changes in the
government policy is a possibility and then it will affect the Company’s business
operation.
Vietnam has joined WTO, Vietnam-US trade agreement, AFTA, etc. In the
international economic integrated tendency, Vietnam economy’s business activities
Page 1
Prospectus
must comply with international strict rules, especially in publishing industry.
According to the commitment road-map, the Vietnamese Government must release
the tariff barrier gradually, until 2011 for the retail industry. This will create many
difficulties for enterprises currently protected by the State. And there is no exception
to the cultural products industry. The coming time, with the progress of tariff barrier
abolishment, office supplies group of low price from neighbour countries such as
China, Thailand, etc. will landed to Vietnam and then, the competition in domestic
market will be more fierce. However, PCN is a dynamic company, not under the
State’s protectionism and has prepared for integration in advance. The company has
set up development orientation towards market-share and scope of business
expansion, competitiveness improvement, tight co-operation with foreign partners.
PNC products are genuine, high quality, trusted by consumers. Therefore, the
abolishment of tariff barriers in the coming period will not considerably affect the
company’s business activities.
3.
Industry risks
3.1
Financial risk
According to audited financial reports, up to December 31st, 2007, the balance
of payables was over VND 63 billion, making up a significant density of the
Company asset structure (29%). This is internal payables (with the Company
office and branches). If the payment of these credits is not reasonable, it will
cause shortage of business captial source of subordinate divisions which effects
business operation of the Company.
Howerver, during last years, payment of debts of partners who gave the
Company loans was performed well and investment plans were implemented
reasonably, which minimizes financial risks.
3.2
Copyright risk
At present, the prevention of stealing copyight, photocopy, reproduction, illegal
use of audio, video products and released publication cannot be performed
thoroughly. If this matter happens to products of Phuong Nam Coporation
(which has copyright of publication and release) will cause remakable
influences on business operation of the Company because market potentiality of
the Company will be exploited and used illegally. This will effect badly on
turnover and profit of the Company.
Moreover, when Vietnam has joined in international economic organizations
(AFTA, WTO....), the competion for buying copyright will be more severe
because of the participation of foreign companies in Vietnamese market. Illegal
reproduction and use of the Company’s products will significantly influence
business effect in buying copyright of domestic and foreign cultural items.

Prospectus
Risk of offers
Nowadays, many companies choose the form of issuing more shares to call for
capital. This is the form of issue in which strong points of healthy and effective
companies will be shown obviously through buying issued shares to the public.
However, stock market now has been influenced by many factors which do not
belong to the business field of the Company such as the health of economy, investor’s
psychology, buying and selling moves of foreign investors, the changes of State’s
management policy,etc. Therefore, the Company’s stock offer probably faces several
following risks:
4.1
Risk of each offer for sale:
This stock issue has risk if shares cannot not be sold out all. The number of
shares which remains after selling to employees and key investors will be
handled as follows: Board of Directors will continue to offer for sale to other
buyers at reasonable price to maintain the highest benefit to the Company, and
ask for approval of State Securities Commission of Vietnam for extending time
of issue if neccessary. With prospect and feasibility of investment projects, the
ability to attract the interest of investors to the Company’s stock is very large
which ensures the success of the stock issue.
In case shares cannot be bought all, the received amount is not enough to
finance the projects as expected, Phuong Nam Coporation will use loan capital
from the bank to supplement for the projects. Moreover, the implementation of
project consists of many stages, so the Company can find other supplementary
financial source to ensure enough capital for any business plan arisen.
4.2
Risk of projects using amount received from the stock offers:
Investment projects using capital from stock sales are highly feasible (They all
are to expand the existing bookshops, improving operation competence of the
Company). However, during the process of investing to build the projects, the
Company can face several objective difficulties such as change of economy,
increasing inflation causing high investment cost, and increasing interest rate
influencing the supplementation of investment capital and the progress of
project implementation.
5.
Dilution risks
At present, the number of outstanding shares of the Company is 6,500,000 shares, the
number of shares after this issue is 8,500,000. That means the number of additionally
issued shares is 2,000,000. Due to the increase of shares, earnings per share will be
diluted right after additional issue. The issue will be ended on March 27 th, 2009 and
the Company will receive the amount of capital from this issue and finish the
Page 3
Prospectus
additional listing of these shares. Up to this time, charter capital of the Company is
increased, therefore, earnings per share will be diluted as follows:

Other risks
Fire: Most of the Company’s products are flammable, therefore, there is always a
potential risk of fire. If the Company does not comply with stipulations of fire
fighting and prevention, it can cause serious damages to assets and business result of
the Company. However, the Company has bought insurance for its assets and
material facilities against fire in order to minimize this risk.
Other risks such as natural calamities and enemy-inflited destruction, etc. are force
majeure risks which, if being existed, will cause great damages to assets, people and
general business of the Company.

Venture (VND 771,892,104), interest income from banks, and dividend from
Long An Books and School Equiment Joint Stock Company, etc.
 Projected income tax for 2007 was at 28% but the Company has taken

Center to 2006-2007 period instead of 2005-2006 period, resulting in reducing
income tax rate for 2007 to 14%.
 Other income: from rental activities, from selling fully depreciated assets, from

7.2 Factors that influence the company’s business in the reported year
The Company has showed a significant growth in the year 2007 compared to 2006.
The 2007 PNC’s net revenue was VND 214.7 billion, 20.6% higher than 2006’s.

amount of VND 9.3 billion after-tax profit, increasing by 56.51% against 2006’s.
That Vietnam’s economy developed well in 2007 had a good influence on the
operation of the Company. However, in the first 3 quarters of 2008, the country’s
economy suffers the world’s recession; therefore, the Company has been impacted
by the below factors.
7.2.1. Advantages
Page 29

Prospectus
In recent years, Vietnam has been a hot destination of foreign investors.
Vietnam has not only a well-grown economy but also a stable politics
which is an advantage of the country over others. The economic
activities of our country have a firm basis to develop and opportunities
to integrate to the world’s economy more easily. In several industries,
especially the area of publishing, printing and releasing, economy’s
health may impact the development of that field through people’s
income. Last year, Vietnam’s economy, in general, achieved an 8.5% in
growth; and Ho Chi Minh City, in particular, attained a growth of 12%.
Improved people’s income has made an increase in spending on
cultural-educational activities and buying power in cultural, educational
and entertaining publications.

The Government’s policy of socializing culture has relaxed the
economic environment. Therefore, there are more opportunities for
cooperation with private companies, and foreign investors; also,
privatizing companies dealing in culture helps reduce difficulties from
government’s controlling structure, diversify the activities in the
industry and give the company chances of acquiring modern
technology.

Phuong Nam Join Stock Corporation was listed on the Ho Chi Minh
City Securities Trading Center; for that reason, information about the
company has been well spread in the public via channels of the stock
market. Consequently, PNC has gained its prestige, achieved in
branding and became more attractive to investors than other
competitors. PNC’s audio CDs, VCDs, DVDs and books have obtained
prestige and one of the superior positions on the market. The brand
PNC now is more popular, thus the Company improves its capital
mobilization and business performances.

PNC’s management system and managing workforce’s quality have
been more and more professional and effective.

PNC has been focused on bringing new blood into the human resource
with employees who are qualified, dynamic, enthusiastic, and
determined to enhance work’s quality and effectiveness.

PNC also has been concentrated on improving bookstores’ service
quality to become the favorite place of customers.
7.2.2. Difficulties

Vietnam’s speed of economic growth in 2007 was rather high than the
others in ASEAN, however, that the national inflation rate also rose to
Page 30
Prospectus
12% affects people’s life and purchasing power. Particularly, in the first
9 months of 2008, the speed of growth showed a decrease in
comparison with that of previous years. In addition, influenced by the
world’s recession and the rise of gasoline price, the remaining high rate
of inflation has caused difficulties to people’s life.

There are more and more competitors from different economic
components in the industry including foreign companies. (pressure on
competion for human resource, business location, price, etc.)

The Goverment remains its monopoly in some areas of newspaper and
books import, cultural products, publishing, etc., thus, some PNC’s
business fields still have restrictions which hinder the company to
promote maximum ability.

Intellectual property right in music discs and tapes, newspapers and
books has not been absolutely protected by the Government. Piracy,
which is more and more sophisticated, has been impacting PNC’s
revenue, earnings and effectiveness.

With a rapid development in recent years, although the quality of staff
improved, it hasn’t been adequate for widening production and taking
oppotunities in business. In addition, PNC has some difficulties in
recruiting proficient management staff due to the harsh competition on
the labor market which also causes fluctuation in the company’s
workforce.

Price of some basic materials and fuel such as gasoline, electricity,
water, and paper changing sharply has greatly influenced on production
price and operating cost.

Under the Govermental policy of macroeconomics, bank’s loan interest
climbed and capital for new projects of PNC was not mobilized in time.
As a result, projects’ duration prolonged and effectiveness of new plans
have suffered.

8.2 The industry’s development prospect
The Government’s policy of sociolizing cultural and educational activities has
encouraged many enterprises, organizations and individuals to join in cutural
business, generating an eventful, diversified and consumer-stimulated market.
The increasing numbers of tourists and oversea Vietnameses coming to Vietnam
also contribute to the increase of demand for cultural products, especially books,
journals and souvenirs.
Page 33
Prospectus
Our economic growth rate is currently high and stable, leading to the improved
income of all walks of life, making people more and more interested in spiritual
needs, especially the need for education, knowledge enrichment, entertainment, etc.
so the market demand for cutural products is higher and higher. Therefore, more
and more domestic and imported products are brought out for consumption,
especially in urban ereas.
The increasing numbers of students followed by the increasing spiritual need,
together with the youth’s trend of seeking for unheard-of things also make the
market of cultural products more ebullient. Enterprises have been trying their best
in order to meet the youth’s need.

Besides the above factors, the Government also has some specified targets and
development orientations for the industry of cultural products. The development
planning target of the Publishing, Printing and Book Publishing industry of
Vietnam until 2010:
 The Publishing, Printing and Book publishing industry of Vietnam will delevop
in the direction of being independent, self-controlled, advanced and nationally
characterized. Publications will be diversified in genres and contents, in line
with the country’s industrialization and modernization, satisfying people’s
increasing demand for publications. Disseminating Vietnam’s typical products
to the world as well as acquiring mankind cutural quintessence to introduce to
the home country.
Page 34
Prospectus
 Maintaining the annual average growth rate of book titles at 15-20%, printed
pages at 10-15%. Until 2005 the numbers of books per capita will be four
copies per year, 485 billion standard printed pages, publication export turnover
is targeted to increase one and a half time compared to the year of 2000. Until
2010 the numbers of books per capita will be six copies per year, 785 billion
standard printed pages, publication export turnover is targeted to increase twice
compared to the year 2005.
 The Publishing, Printing and Book Publishing industry of Vietnam strive to
reach the average-good ranking in Asia.
The Government management task in publishing is also reformed in accordance
with the industry’s development level, illustrated by promulgating the Publishing
Law.
With the industry and Government’s targets and development orientations, the
general condition of the business our company participated in has changed
positively in recent years.

The average productivity growth rate of Printing industry is over 10% per
year. The Printing industry has met all the printing demand of the society,
including high-grade publications, ranking advanced in the area and
reaching international quality standards.
The Book Publishing network has delevoped quickly and extensively. Many
bookstores and book-supermarkets have been built in big cities. The average
growth rate of Book Publishing industry is 15% per year; the publication
market is rather diversified; the export-import of books and journals has also
increased dramatically.
Page 35
Prospectus
Considerably contributing to the development of the Printing, Publishing
and Book Publishing industry is the association between publishing houses
and priviate printing premises. With high professionalism, they have
provided the market with so many book titles, which are diversifed in
contents and subjects, helping publishing houses overcome difficulty in
capital and markets, creating an expansive, flexible and dynamic issuing
network. The year 2004 marked a milestone for the publishing industry with
the event that the publishing law was passed at the 6 th session, the eleventh
National Assembly, with more transparent terms. There are some changes in
nature such as individuals can take part in all three stages of the publishing
process: making drafts, printing and issuing (instead of two stages stipulated
in the Law on Publishing, 1993), replacing the acceptance of each book title
with registering publishing plans.
8.2.2. The area of audio-visual products and cultural products
The video disc and record market is rather eventful now with the
participation of many State-owned and private companies, satisfying the
consumers’preferences and tastes. However, the increasingly serious
condition of copyright violations and piracy has considerably affected the
studios. The market of manufacturing and trading cultural products has also
made great advance in accordance with the increasing consumption demand
of the society, especially the students and intelligentsia.
Vietnam is preparing for joining in important economic institutions, signing
many agreements with international governments and organizations. This
generates a big opportunity for enterprises in the industry to expand their
export and import of cultural products.
8.3 Assessment of the company development orientation’s conformity with the
industry’s orientation, Government policy and international general tendency
With the trend of international economic and cultural integration, the industry of
manufacturing and trading cultural products has many opportunities to expand
markets and diversify products but also have many difficulties coping with
competition. Moreover, the industry of manufacturing and trading cultural products
is one of the industries significantly affected by the condition of economic
development. Vietnam’s success in foreign affairs and a stable political
environment compared to other countries in the area (Thailand, China, Taiwan, etc.)
have become an advantage attracting foreign investment capital, positively
supporting the economic growth. In the other hand, Vietnam is also affected by the
world economic condition. This has remarkable effect on people’s lives and the
consumption of cultural products.
Page 36
Prospectus
In the industry’s development trend, the company’s operation orientations as
follows:
 Link the business to establishing and delevoping the culture of Vietnam and
acquiring the international cutural quintessence.

 Enhance direct exploiting products from Vietnamese producers and imports
from regional countries, in direction to exclusive distributing prestigious
manufacturers’ products.

position in the market, ensure its growth rate and enhance the operation efficiency:

11.2. Explanation of the discrepancy between the beginning balance of the first 9
month financial report of 2008 and the ending balance of financial report of
2007
The financial statement of 2007 was ununited. Although PNC’s subsidiaries were in
operation from the end of the year 2007, but as the time of operation was in
11/2007, revenues and expenses haven’t arised and did not unify to the auditing
statement of 2007. The figures of the first 9 month financial statement of 2008 were
united, so there are some adjustments as follows:
11.2.1 Cash:
In the auditing statement of 2007, the balance of
“Cash and cash
equivalents” included only one item “Cash”. In the balancesheet for 9
months of 2008, this figure was seperated to two items, which were “Cash”
with balance of VND5,192,760,453 and “Cash equivalents” with balance of
VND1,688,296,859.
11.2.2 Short-term accounts receivable
“Short-term accounts receivable” increased by VND8,261,896,031 (the

beginning of the year 2008 was VND53,167,572,242) as the “Other
accounts receivable” increased by VND8,261,896,031 (the balance of the
auditing statement at the ending of the year 2007 was VND4,106,431,602,
Page 43

the balance of the balancesheet for 9 months at the beginning of the year
2008 was VND12,368,27,633) due to some following reasons:

Closed the “Advance” with the balance of VND2,920,896,031 in the
item “Other short-term assets” to the item “Other accounts receivable”
in the item “Short-term accounts receivable”

Closed the “Short-term mortgages, securities and deposits” with the

2007 was VND8,980,658,993, the balance of the balancesheet for 9 months

item “Other short-term assets” to the item “Other accounts receivable”
in the item “Short-term accounts receivable”


balance of VND5,341,000,000 in the item “Other short-term assets” to
the item “Other accounts receivale” in the item “Short-term accounts
receivable”
11.2.3 Long-term accounts receivable
“Long-term accounts receivable” increased by VND1,172,606,166 (the
balance of the auditing statement at the ending of 2007 was
VND247,200,000, the balance of the balancesheet for 9 months at the
beginning of 2008 was VND1,419,806,166) due to the “Other long-term
accounts receivable” increased by VND1,172,606,166 (the balance of the

14.3. General comments
The cultural and educational socialization policy is increasingly encouraged by the
Government, so there are more and more individuals and enterprises participating in
printing, publishing, books and films issuing activities, therefore products in the
market are also more and more diversified.
From 26/10/2004, Vietnam became official member of Berne Convention (the
Convention protecting the literary and artistic work was signed at Berne,
Switzerland in 1886), according to this convention, publishing houses who want to
print out translated books must have the copyright.
The effect of actions agaisnt copyright violations and piaracy hasn’t been
satisfactory, causing many difficulties for enterprises who operate in legitimate
manner.
People’s income and living standard are increasing day by day, so the need for
reading is also increasing respectively. As a result of that, more books (including
domestic and imported ones) have been introduced to the market, the quality and
content have been further emphasized. Many bookstores have been opened. The
Page 59
Prospectus
publishing industry will have fierce competition and will become more
professional, too. The competition in retail, wholesale, printing, producing and
trading audio-visual and other cultural products has become more and more severe.
Enterprises in this industry have focused on investing in trade-marks, the business
and marketing styles have been more and more flexible, the quality of products and
services have been continuously improved while prices are likely to be lowered.
With the objective to expand the market share and set up an extensive network,
enterprises in cultural products industry have the trend to offer high commission
rate in order to attract the wholesalers and retailers. On the other hand, to preserve
their profits, they try to raise the retail price offered to consumers. This situation
may make bad effects on the market and reduce purchasing power.
Some categories of souvenir and toy group originated from ASEAN countries when
imported to Vietnam are good in quality and competitive in prices due to low
import tax.
The printing industry is in severe competition as the numbers of enterprises
participating in this field are increasing, the CMT price is reducing, leading to
reducing profits.

Prospectus
Our economy is now open to the world, strongly integrated into the regional and
international economy. Our Government has increasingly widened economic – cultural
relations, signed many conventions with other countries and international organizations,
therefore increasing the opportunities to expand markets for enterprises.
Preferential investment policies and the State’s step-by-step completion of legal system
have increased the investment activities in the home country and abroad.
In the past few years, the growth rate of the Publishing, Printing and Book Publishing
industry was high and rather stable, averaged at 15-20% of book tiltes, 10-15% of printed
pages. The Dicision no. 40/2002/QĐ-BVHTT dated 31/12/2002 issued by the Ministry of
Culture and Information concerning the approval to the development plan of the
Publishing, Printing and Book Publishing industry until 2010 specifies targets and
development orientations. This is an advantage for enterprises trading in cultural product
industry such as PNC.
Phuong Nam Culture Company has developed in line with the Government policy and
the market’s development tendency, illustrated by investing in distribution and
establishment network of bookstores in big cities across the country, focusing on human
resource admidnistration, enhancing the broadcasting activities, publishing association,
computerizing management, investing in new machinery and equipments for the sake of
higher efficiency, reducing prices, improving competitiveness, co-operating to establish
cineflex at big cities, organizing bookshelves in supermarket system, etc.
Plans of revenues, profits, dividends made by Phuong Nam Culture Company was based
on the development prospect of the industry, market demand and the company’s
competitiveness. If unusual events affecting enterprises’ business operation hadn’t
happenned, the company’s plan for three year 2006-2008 would have been highly
feasible, ensuring the annual ratios of dividend.

Notes: the capital invested in Mega Phuong Nam exceeds the estimated expense submitted to the Annual General Metting of Shareholders 2008
due to the changes in the ratios of equity among parties in the joint venture, of which, PNC’s contributed rate increased from 32% to 40% and the
variation of exchange rate at the time of contributing.
The projects already completed with the capital lent from the bank have covered higher investment expenditure than the estimated expenditure
submitted to the Annual General Metting of Shareholders 2008 because of the discrepancy between the expenditure submitted to the shareholders
at the end of 2007 and the actual expenditure affected by inflation in 2008.
