The stock of Hung Vuong Corporation has dropped to half its value over-month

Hung Vuong Corporation (HSX: HVG) has just released announcement No.030519/CV-HVG on its website about fully divesting Hung Vuong Song Doc JSC.

This is the result of the May 2 meeting of the HVG board of directors. HVG owns 32.13 million shares at Hung Vuong Song Doc JSC, equivalent to 51 per cent.

By the last day of March 2019, HVG’s subsidiaries included:

No	Company names	Percentage of ownership
1	Angiang Fisheries Import Export JSC (AGIFISH Co)	79.58
2	An Lac Real Estate JSC	76
3	HVBT Seafood Processing Co.,Ltd	90
4	Eroupe JSC (EUR)	80
5	Asia Co.,Ltd	96
6	Tac Van Seafoods Co	66.78
7	Hung Vuong Song Doc JSC	51
Associated companies

11	Hung Vuong – Sa Dec Co.,Ltd	40
12	Hung Vuong – Vinh Long Aquatic Food Processing JSC	38.75
Joint Venture
13	Hung Vuong Mascato Co.,Ltd	60

HVG decided to liquidate its real estate holdings and dissolve An Lac Real Estate where it held 76 per cent, while also divesting Sao Ta Foods JSC (FMC) (more than 21 million shares), reducing its ownership from 90.36 to 33.16 per cent in Viet Thang Feed JSC (VTF), and sold Cold Storage 2 to ABA Business Solution Inc., collecting nearly VND151 billion ($6.56 million).

Accordingly, HVG liquidated more than 39 per cent of its assets, reducing its holdings from VND13.9 trillion ($604.35 million) to only VND8.434 trillion ($366.7 million).

However, HVG finance is still unbalanced and auditors emphasise that the company’s ability depend largely on its ability to arrange cashflows and turn a profit in the future, as well as the restructuring of its bank debts.
