The largest proportions of inventory are raw material, finished goods and merchandise. That means KDC could actively cope with changes in the price of input. The amount of spare goods in supply was also kept available. KDC therefore could control properly their producing and supply sources.

3. Short- term Investment

As could be seen in the balance sheet, short-term investment fluctuated in the same direction as the current assets. However, in general, the proportion of short-term investment in the period of 2009-2011 is smaller than that of 2007-2009. This means that recently KDC has already withdrew the funds invested in short-term financial investment. In this way, KDC may lose chances to boost up its revenue through securities investment. However, concerning the fact that KDC’s core business is confectionery manufacturing, together with the slow-down of the economy at that moment, it seems to be a reasonable choice.

4. Account receivables

Being a confectionery manufacturer, it is necessary for KDC to maintain a stable and high proportion of short term receivables. From the balance sheet, we could see that the short-term receivables increased by 41% from 2009 to 2010 and also peaked at this year when the short-term receivables counted for 43.7% of current assets. This situation may lead to many difficulties in collecting debts. However, there was a significant reduce in 2011 with the proportion of only 28.3%. This figure shows that the company has restricted its credit policies to ensure timely receivable collection and avoid liquidity risk.

5. Non-current Assets

Non-current assets increased gradually from nearly 160,000 million VND in 2007 to 330,000 million VND in 2011. Especially, it has surpassed current assets in the last two years, accounted for 55.6% of total assets in 2011.
