the role of ensuring national energy security and the goal of sustainable
development is a challenge for Petrolimex. Petrolimex must have the
responsibility for meeting the needs of the entire society for gasoline at
a reasonable cost, with safety and minimal environmental impact.

(i) As described in Note 3(a)(iv), the Group had a plan for divestment from PJICO and PG Bank.
On 21 April 2018, the General Meeting of Shareholders of PG Bank passed its Resolution No. 01/2018/NQ-
DHDCD-PGB, approving the scheme to merge PG Bank with Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock
Commercial Bank (“HDBank”). According to this scheme, the expected ownership ratio of the Parent Company
in HDBank after the merger is 5.62%. By the date when these financial statements are authorized for issuance,
the merger had not been completed.
On 18 July 2019, under Resolution No. 108A/PLX-NQ-HDQT, the Board of Management approved the plan to
reduce the Group’s ownership percentage in PJICO from 40.95% to 35.1% and when receipt of official opinions
from the Commission for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises and the Prime Minister, the Group
will continue to hold or divest in accordance with regulations. By the date when these financial statements are
authorized for issuance, the reduction of ownership percentage had not been completed.
(ii) Investment in this associate was stated at cost in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. According to
assessment of the Board of General Directors, failure to apply the equity method in recognition for these associates has not
caused material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as the investment value was insignificant.
(*) The Group has not determined fair values of these investments for disclosure in the consolidated financial statements
because information about their market prices is not available and there is currently no guidance on determination of
fair value using valuation techniques under Vietnamese Accounting Standards or the Vietnamese Accounting System for
enterprises. The fair values of these financial investments may differ from their carrying amounts.

tax on imported goods arising from the difference between the normal import tax incentive and the special
import tax incentive under regional trade agreements for some imported petroleum products. The Group paid
value added tax for imported goods at the normal incentive rate. After customs clearance, these imported
goods were determined to be entitled to the special incentive tax rate; accordingly, the Group will be refunded
the value added tax it has overpaid.
