INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

No.: 0884/VN1A-HN-BC

To:

The Shareholders
The Board of Directors and the Executive Board
PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Corporation (the “Corporation”) prepared on 27 March 2025, as set out from page 145 to page 190, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, accounting regime for enterprises and legal regulations relating to consolidated financial reporting and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Vietnamese Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the Corporation’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as at 31 December 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, accounting regime for enterprises and legal regulations relating to financial reporting.

Emphasis of Matter

As stated in Note 35 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, as at 31 December 2024, the Corporation has the guarantee obligation under the memorandum signed with the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (“the Group”) relating to the Group’s guarantee commitment for the medium and long-term loan of Vietnam Petrochemical and Fiber Joint Stock Company - an associate of the Corporation. The Corporation has made appropriate accounting records regarding the rights and obligations araising in 2024 with the parties.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
