CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information in this Annual Report which does not relate to historical financial information may be deemed to constitute
forward- looking statements. The words or phrases may, will, expect, anticipate, plan, will likely result, estimate, project, believe,
intends to or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or projected in the forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. We undertake no obligations to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events and circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Among the factors that could cause our
actual results in the future to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are the availability of crude oil supply channels and relevant prices, effects of the macroeconomic policy of The Peoples Republic of China, government
control of currency conversion and the prices of refined oil products, and other factors discussed in Item 3.D Key Information - Risk Factors.

dollars or Renminbi, as the case may be, at any particular rate.

D. Risk Factors.

An investment in our ADSs involves significant risks. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. You
should consider carefully all of the information in this annual report, including the risks and uncertainties described below and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making an investment in our ADSs. Any of the following
risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In any such case, the market price of our ADSs could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The global financial crisis may have further material adverse effects on our financial condition and operating results.

The global financial crisis has resulted in reduced demand and decreased prices for the petrochemical industry. Although
the Chinese government has taken measures to stabilize the macroeconomic environment and the Chinese economy maintained some growth as a result of the economic stimulus packages implemented by the Chinese government in 2009, it is not clear if and
when economic growth in China will be as strong as it was in the past. Chinas petrochemical industry is confronted with substantial difficulties and challenges. The uncertainty as to when certain economic stimulus policies will be revoked and
the growth trend of international trade may continue to have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Our operations
may be adversely affected by the cyclical nature of the petroleum and petrochemical market and by the volatility of prices of crude oil and petrochemical products.

Most of our revenues are attributable to petrochemical products, which have historically been cyclical and sensitive to the availability
and price of raw materials and general economic conditions. Markets for many of our products are sensitive to changes in industry capacity and output levels, cyclical changes in regional and global economic conditions, the price and availability of
substitute products and changes in consumer demand, which from time to time have had a significant impact on product prices in the regional and global markets. Historically, the markets for these products have experienced alternating periods of
tight supply, causing prices and margins to increase, followed by periods of capacity additions, finally resulting in oversupply and declining prices and margins. As tariffs and other import restrictions are reduced and the control of product
pricing is relaxed in China, the markets for many of our products have become increasingly subject to the cyclicality of regional and global markets.

##### Table of Contents

Historically, international prices of crude oil have also fluctuated widely due to many
factors beyond our control. For example, international crude oil prices increased significantly in the first half of 2009 after reaching a low for the year of US$33.98 per barrel on February 12. In the second half, prices remained volatile and
fluctuated at a relatively high level, rallying between US$70 ~ US$80 per barrel and rising to an all-year high closing price of US$81.18/barrel on October 22. As crude oil costs accounted for RMB26,450 million or 58.76% of the Groups
annual cost of sales in 2009, changes in crude oil prices can affect the Groups profitability. We expect that the volatility and uncertainty of the prices of crude oil and petrochemical products will continue, and that increasing crude oil
prices and declines in prices of petrochemical products may adversely affect our business and results of operations and financial condition.

Some of our major products are subject to government price controls, and we are not able to pass on all cost increases from rising
crude oil prices through higher product prices.

We consume large amounts of crude oil to manufacture our products of which
more than 90% is imported. We attempt to mitigate the effect of increased costs due to rising crude oil prices. However, our ability to pass on these increased costs to our customers is dependent on market conditions and government regulations,
particularly government regulation with respect to the price of certain of our fuel products. In particular, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and liquefied petroleum gas are subject to government price controls. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, approximately
54.06%, 43.52% and 47.70% of our net sales were from such products subject to price control. Although we do receive subsidies from the Chinese government to, among other things, cover part of our losses resulting from such price controls, the amount
of such subsidies vary substantially from year to year or even quarter to quarter and is difficult to predict. Although the Chinese government has adopted a new pricing mechanism for domestic refined oil products that indirectly links the prices of
these products to international crude oil prices (see Item 4. Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Product Pricing), such pricing mechanism is still nontransparent. Moreover, the Chinese government controls
the distribution of many petroleum products in China. For instance, some of our petroleum products are required to be sold to designated distributors (such as the subsidiaries of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation). Because we cannot
freely sell our fuel products to take advantage of opportunities for higher prices and because the formula for the new pricing mechanism set by the Chinese government is not transparent, in periods of high crude oil prices, we may not be able to
fully cover increases in crude oil prices by increases in the sale prices of our products, which has had and will continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our development and operation plans have significant capital expenditure and financing requirements, which are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties.

The petrochemical business is a capital intensive business. Our ability to maintain and increase
our revenues, net income and cash flows depends upon continued capital spending. Our current business strategy contemplates capital expenditures for 2010 of approximately RMB2.0 billion (US$293 million), which will be provided through financing
activities and use of our own capital. Our actual capital expenditures may vary significantly from these planned amounts due to our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, investments and other factors that may be beyond our
control. In addition, there can be no assurance as to whether, or at what cost, our capital projects will be completed or the success of these projects if completed.

As a result of the global economic downturn and its negative effect on our net income and cash flows, we have had to take on an increased
amount of indebtedness in 2008, 2009 and 2010 to fund our capital expenditures and operations as compared to previous years. As of March 31, 2010, we had aggregate outstanding indebtedness of approximately RMB8.093 billion (US$1.186 billion).
Most of our loans are with state-controlled banks in China and structured as short-term debt obligations with payment due in one year or less. These banks have generally been willing to provide new short-term loans while we pay down existing loans,
as our overall debt level has been reduced slightly since 2008. China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec Corp), our controlling shareholder, did not provide any guarantee or credit support for our debt for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.

Our ability to obtain external financing in
the future and our ability to make timely repayments of our debt obligations are subject to a variety of uncertainties, including: our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; the condition of the economy in China and the
markets for our products; the cost of financing and the condition of financial markets; the issuance of relevant government approvals and other project risks associated with the development of infrastructure in China; and the continuing willingness
of banks to provide new loans as we pay down existing debt.

While we anticipate that we will rely less on debt to finance
capital expenditures and operations as the global economic outlook begins to improve, if we fail to obtain sufficient funding for our operations or development plans or are unable to obtain new short-term debt to pay off existing debt, our business,
results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We could face increased competition.

Our principal market, Eastern China, which is comprised of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi, has enjoyed stronger economic
growth and a higher demand for petrochemical products than other regions of China. As a result, we believe that competitors will try to expand their sales and build up their distribution networks in our principal market. In 2010, we expect that
Chinas petrochemical market will reach a peak in newly built on stream capacity. The commencement of production by new plants will continue to create a capacity surplus and result in a structural oversupply in the petrochemical market in
general. We believe this will have a substantial adverse impact on the production and sale of our major products. Moreover, Chinese private enterprises have gradually overcome technological and funding barriers to extend their business from the
downstream processing sector to the upstream petrochemical field. These enterprises have advantages in many areas such as flexibility in operation costs, preferential policy treatment and regional presence, and may use these advantages to compete
with us in markets for our products.

Related party transactions; non-competition; conflicts of interests.

We have engaged from time to time and will continue to engage in a variety of transactions with Sinopec Corp and China Petrochemical
Corporation, the controlling shareholder of Sinopec Corp, and their various subsidiaries or affiliates who provide a number of services to us, including the supply of raw materials, product distribution and sales agency, project design and
installment service. Our transactions with these companies are governed by a Mutual Product Supply and Sales Services Framework Agreement with Sinopec Corp and a Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement with Sinopec Group, the terms of which were
negotiated on an arms length basis, see Item 7. B. Related Party Transactions  Intercompany Service Agreement and Business-related Dealings. Our business and results of operations could be adversely affected if Sinopec Corp
refuses to engage in such transactions or if it seeks to amend the contracts between the parties in a way adverse to us. In addition, Sinopec Corp has interests in businesses which compete or are likely to compete, either directly or indirectly,
with our businesses. Because Sinopec Corp is our controlling shareholder and its interests may conflict with our own interests, Sinopec Corp may take actions that favor itself over our interests.

We are controlled by Sinopec Corp, whose interests may not be aligned with yours.

As of May 1, 2010, Sinopec Corp owned 55.56% of our shares. Accordingly, it has voting and management control over us, and its
interests may be different from your interests and the interests of our other shareholders. Subject to our Articles of Association and applicable laws and regulations, Sinopec Corp will be in a position to cause us to declare dividends, determine
the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval or effect corporate transactions without the approval of the holders of the H shares and ADSs. Any such increase in our dividend payout would reduce funds available for reinvestment in
our business and any such actions or transactions could adversely affect us or our minority shareholders. Additionally, Sinopec Corp may experience changes in its own business strategy and policies. Although we are not currently aware of any
specific changes, they could, in turn, lead Sinopec Corp to change its policies or practices toward us in ways that we cannot predict, with corresponding unpredictable consequences for our business.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by present or future environmental regulations.

We are subject to extensive environmental protection laws and regulations in China. These laws and regulations permit:



| |  |  | the imposition of fees and penalties for the discharge of waste substances;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the levy of fines and payments for damages for environmental offenses; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the government to close or suspend any facility which fails to comply with orders and require it to correct or stop operations causing environmental
damage.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our production operations produce substantial amounts of waste materials. In addition, our
production and operations require permits that are subject to renewal, modification and revocation. At present, we believe that our operations substantially comply with all applicable Chinese environmental laws and regulations as they have been
previously interpreted and enforced. The Chinese government, however, has moved, and may move further, toward more rigorous enforcement of applicable laws, and toward the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Chinese national or local
authorities may also impose additional regulations or apply more rigorous enforcement of such regulations which would require additional expenditures on environmental matters.

##### Table of Contents

Our business may be limited or adversely affected by government regulations.

The central and local Chinese governments continue to exercise a certain degree of control over the petrochemical industry
in China by, among other things:



| |  |  | mandating distribution channels for our fuel products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | setting the allocations and pricing of certain resources, products and services;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assessing taxes and fees payable;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | setting import and export quotas and procedures; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | setting safety, environmental and quality standards.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

As a result, we may face significant constraints on our flexibility and ability to expand our business operations or to maximize our
profitability. In the past, we have benefited from favorable regulatory policies that have, for example, reduced the competition we face from illegal imports of petroleum products. Existing policies that favor our industry may change in the future
and our business could be adversely affected by any such changes.

Our development plans may require regulatory approval.

We are currently engaged in a number of construction and expansion projects. Most of our projects are subject to
governmental review and approval. The timing and cost of completion of these projects will depend on numerous factors, including approvals from relevant government authorities and general economic conditions in China.

While in general we attempt to obtain governmental approval as far in advance as practicable, we may not be able to control the timing
and outcome of these governmental reviews and approvals. If any of our important projects required for our future growth are not approved, or not approved on a timely basis, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.

Chinas entry into the World Trade Organization, or WTO, may significantly increase foreign competition in
our lines of business.

China joined the WTO on December 11, 2001. As part of its membership, China has committed to
eliminate some tariff and non-tariff barriers to foreign competition in the domestic petrochemical industry that benefited us in the past. In particular, China:



| |  |  | has reduced tariffs on imported petrochemicals products that compete with ours;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased levels of permitted foreign investment in the domestic petrochemicals industry, allowing foreign investors to own 100% of a domestic
petrochemicals company from December 11, 2004;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | has gradually relaxed restrictions on the import of crude oil by non-state owned companies;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | has granted foreign-owned companies the right to import petrochemical products; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | has permitted foreign-owned companies to distribute and market fuel products in both retail and wholesale markets in China.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of these measures, we face increased competition from foreign companies and imports. In 2010,
the impact of the global economic downturn will continue, the global market for petrochemical products may be slow to recover, and many overseas petrochemical companies, in particular those from neighboring areas, such as Japan, South Korea and the
Middle East, have switched their focus to sales in China, which we believe, will further intensify competition in the Chinese domestic petrochemical market. In addition, tariff reductions could reduce our profit margins or otherwise negatively
impact our revenue from certain products, including a small number of significant products. The PRC government may also reduce the tariffs imposed on production equipment that we may import in the future.

Political and economic policies in China could affect our business in unpredictable ways.

The economy of China differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development in a number of respects, including:



| |  |  | structure;
| | - |  | ----------



| |  |  | level of government involvement;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | level of development;
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | level of capital reinvestment;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | control of foreign exchange; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | allocation of resources.
| | - |  | ------------------------

Before its adoption of reform and open-door policies beginning in 1978, China was primarily a planned economy. Since that time, the
Chinese government has been reforming the Chinese economic system, and has also begun reforming the government structure. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress. Although the Chinese government still owns a
significant portion of the productive assets in China, economic reform policies since the late 1980s have emphasized autonomous enterprises and the utilization of market mechanisms. We currently expect that the Chinese government will continue these
reforms, further reduce government intervention and rely more heavily on market mechanisms to allocate resources. Although we believe these reforms will have a positive effect on our overall long-term development, we cannot predict whether changes
to Chinas political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies will have any adverse effect on our current or future business or results of operations.

If the Chinese government changes current regulations that allow us to make payments in foreign currencies, we may be unable to obtain
the foreign currency which is necessary for our business.

The Renminbi currently is not a freely convertible currency. We
receive most of our revenue in Renminbi. A portion of our Renminbi revenue must be converted into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations. We have substantial requirements for foreign currency, including:



| |  |  | debt service costs on foreign currency-denominated debt;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | purchases of imported equipment;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | payment of any cash dividends declared in respect of the H shares; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | import of crude oil and other materials.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------

Under existing foreign exchange regulations in China, we may undertake current account foreign exchange transactions, including the
payment of dividends, without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange by producing commercial documents evidencing the foreign exchange transactions, provided that they are processed through Chinese banks licensed to engage
in foreign exchange transactions. The Chinese government has stated publicly that it intends to eventually make the Renminbi freely convertible in the future. However, uncertainty exists as to whether the Chinese government may restrict access to
foreign currency for current account transactions if foreign currency becomes scarce in China.

Foreign exchange transactions
under the capital account (international revenues and expenditures that increase or decrease debt or equity, including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations) continue to be subject to limitations and require the
prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. These limitations could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt financing, or to make capital expenditures in foreign currency.

If the Chinese government restricts our ability to make payments in foreign currency, we may be unable to obtain the foreign currency
which is necessary for our business. In that case, our business may be materially adversely affected, and we may default on our obligations.

The rejection of the proposed share reforms required of companies listed on the Shanghai
Stock Exchange may adversely affect our market image and our ability to effectuate future transactions such as public offerings on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Pursuant to regulations issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the CSRC), we were required to gain shareholder
approval for and implement certain share reforms in 2006. Under the share reform plans proposed by holders of our non-circulating A Shares in 2006 and 2007, respectively, all non-circulating A Shares would be converted into circulating A Shares and
may be sold publicly on the Shanghai Stock Exchange subject to any applicable lock-up period under the condition that holders of our non-circulating A Shares transfer a portion of their A Shares to holders of our circulating A Shares. However,
holders of our circulating A Shares rejected both share reform plans. No specific new proposals have yet been presented to implement the required share reforms. We are uncertain as to when such share reforms will be completed. On January 8,
2007, the Shanghai Stock Exchange began to impose stricter regulations on its listed companies that are required but unable to complete the share reforms, including stricter trading information disclosure requirements and greater restrictions on
their ability to effectuate future public offerings. Since March 26, 2007, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has required us to make periodically public announcements regarding the status of our share reforms. In addition, the CSRC is expected to
more strictly scrutinize any securities-related applications by publicly listed PRC companies that are required to but have failed to complete such share reforms, their major shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners. The rejection of the proposed
share reforms by the holders our circulating A Shares may adversely affect our market image and our ability to effectuate future transactions such as public offerings on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The possibility that the CSRC and the Shanghai
Stock Exchange will impose more restrictions cannot be eliminated.

Interpretation and enforcement of Chinese laws and
regulations is uncertain.

The Chinese legal system is based on statutory law. Under this system, prior court decisions may
be cited as persuasive authority, but do not have the binding effect of precedents. Since 1979, the Chinese government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws and considerable progress has been made in the promulgation of laws
and regulations dealing with economic matters, such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. Because these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively new and not all accessible to the
public and because prior court decisions have little precedential value, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, regulations and legal requirements involve greater uncertainty than in other jurisdictions.

You may not enjoy shareholders protections that you would be entitled to in other jurisdictions.

As most of our business is conducted in China, our operations are governed principally by the laws of China. Despite changes to the PRC
Company Law, Chinese legal provisions for the protection of shareholders rights and access to information are different and less developed than those applicable to companies formed in the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and other
developed countries or regions. You may not enjoy shareholders protections under Chinese law that you would be entitled to in other jurisdictions.

Our Articles of Association require you to submit your disputes with us and other persons to arbitration. You will have no legal right
to a court proceeding.

Our Articles of Association require holders of our H shares or ADSs having a claim against, or a

regulations relating to our affairs, to submit such claim or dispute to arbitration with the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission or to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center. Our Articles of Association further

We may be or become a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse
U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company
(PFIC) by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such characterization could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to you if you are a U.S. investor. For example, U.S. investors who owned
our ADSs during any taxable year in which we were a PFIC generally are subject to increased U.S. tax liabilities and reporting requirements for that taxable year and all succeeding years, regardless of whether we actually continue to be a PFIC,
although a shareholder election to terminate such deemed PFIC status may be available in certain circumstances. The same adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences will apply to U.S. investors who acquire our ADSs during the current taxable year
or any subsequent taxable year if we are treated as a PFIC for that taxable year.

The determination of whether or not we are
a PFIC is made on an annual basis and depends on the composition of our income and assets, from time to time. Specifically, we will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. tax purposes for a taxable year if either (a) 75% or more of our gross income
for such taxable year is passive income, or (b) 50% or more of the average percentage of our assets during such taxable year either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. For such purposes, if we directly or
indirectly own 25% or more of the shares of another corporation, we generally will be treated as if we (a) held directly a proportionate share of the other corporations assets, and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the
other corporations income.

We do not believe that we are currently a PFIC. However, because the PFIC determination is
highly fact intensive and made at the end of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year or that the IRS will not challenge our determination concerning our PFIC status. For
further discussion of the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences of our possible classification as a PFIC, see Taxation below.



|ITEM 4. | INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.
|------- | ---------------------------

A. History and Development of the Company

General Information

We were established in the Peoples Republic of China as a joint stock limited company under the Chinese Company Law on June 29,
1993 as Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited. On October 12, 2000, we changed our name to Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited. Our registered office is at No. 48 Jinyi Road, Jinshan District, Shanghai, China 200540. Our
telephone number there is (86-21) 5794-1941.

Our Predecessor

Our predecessor, Shanghai Petrochemical Complex (the Complex), was founded in 1972 as one of the first large scale Chinese
petrochemical enterprises using advanced imported technology and equipment. Prior to June 29, 1993, the Complex was wholly-owned by China Petrochemical Corporation, at the time a ministerial level enterprise (before its restructuring in 1998,
Sinopec). The Complexs location was chosen because of accessibility by water and land transportation to Shanghai, a major industrial city of China, and the availability of reclaimable land. The Complex was initially under the
administration of the Ministry of Textile Industry and in 1983 was placed under the administration of Sinopec.

The Complex
and we, as its successor, have undergone four major stages of construction. The first stage of construction (1972 -1976) included reclamation of land and the installation of 18 production units. The second stage of construction (1980-1986)
increased the Complexs capacity for processing crude oil and doubled its capacity for synthetic fiber production. The third stage of construction (1987- 1992) primarily consisted of the installation of a 300,000 ton Rated Capacity ethylene
unit, an additional crude oil refining unit and other units for the production of petrochemical products. The third stage of construction completed our transition from a synthetic fiber producer to a highly integrated producer of a wide variety of
petrochemical products. The fourth stage of construction (2000-2002) mainly included the 700,000 ton Ethylene Expansion Project and Coal-Fired Power Plant Expansion Project which is described under Item 4. Information on the Company 
Property, Plant and Equipment  Capital Expansion Program.

Over the past thirty-seven years, the Company built up an
infrastructure system to support its production needs. The Company has its own facilities to supply water, electricity, steam and other utilities and to treat waste water, as well as ocean and inland waterway wharfs and railroad and road
transportation facilities.

Our Initial Public Offering and Listing

We were established as a subsidiary of Sinopec on June 29, 1993. In preparation for our initial public offering of ordinary shares,
all assets and liabilities of the Complex were transferred either to us or to Sinopec Shanghai Jinshan Industrial Company (JI), a separate subsidiary of Sinopec. The Complexs non-core businesses and assets, such as housing, stores,
schools, transportation and medical services were transferred to JI. The Complexs core business and assets was transferred to us. The Complex then ceased to exist as a legal entity. In 1998, Sinopec was restructured into a limited liability
company under the name of China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group). On February 25, 2000, Sinopec Group transferred its interest in us to its subsidiary, Sinopec Corp. In 1997, JI was restructured and its subsidiaries were
either transferred to Sinopec or Shanghai Jinshan District. Sinopec Group now provides community services to us that were formerly provided by JI.

Our H Shares were listed on the HKSE on July 26, 1993. Our ADSs, each representing 100 H Shares, are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE). Our A Shares are listed on the Shanghai Securities Exchange. We were the first Chinese joint stock limited company to have securities concurrently traded in Hong Kong, the United States and China. On November 8,
1993, our A Shares were included in the Shanghai Securities Exchange Stock Index.

Description of Principal Capital
Expenditures and Divestitures

In the fourth quarter of 2001, we established a Sino-foreign equity joint venture,
Shanghai Secco Petrochemical Company Limited (Secco), together with BP Chemicals East China Investments Limited (BP) and Sinopec Corp. We own 20%, while BP and Sinopec Corp own 50% and 30% of the equity interest of Secco,
respectively. Secco was established to build and operate a 900,000 ton Rated Capacity ethylene petrochemical manufacturing facility in order to manufacture and market ethylene, polyethylene, styrene, polystyrene, propylene, acrylonitrile,
polypropylene, butadiene, aromatics and by-products; provide related after-sales services and technical advice with respect to such petrochemical products and by products; and engage in polymers application development. Secco completed construction
in 2005. Seccos registered capital is US$901,440,964 of which we were obligated to contribute an amount in Renminbi equivalent to US$180,287,952 prior to the end of 2005. As of December 31, 2005, we had contributed such amount in full.
For a description of capital expansion projects related to our facilities, see Item 4. Information on the Company  Property, Plant and Equipment  Capital Expansion Program.

B. Business Overview

We are one of the largest petrochemical companies in China based on 2008 net sales and ethylene production. Our highly integrated
petrochemical complex processes crude oil into a broad range of products in four major product areas:



| |  |  | synthetic fibers,
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | resins and plastics,
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | intermediate petrochemicals, and
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | petroleum products.
| | - |  | -------------------

Based on 2009 sales volumes, we are a leading Chinese producer of synthetic fibers and resins and plastic products. We believe that we
are also a leading competitor in sales of petroleum products and intermediate petrochemicals in our regional markets.

Our net
sales by product category, as a percentage of total net sales in each of 2009, 2008 and 2007 are summarized as follows:

We derive a
substantial portion of our revenues from customers in Eastern China (principally Shanghai and its six neighboring provinces), an area that has experienced economic growth above the national average in recent years. We believe that we are well-
positioned to take advantage of opportunities which may arise through the growth of the Chinese economy generally and in this area in particular. Shown by geographic region and exports, our net sales by product category as a percentage of total net
sales for each of 2009, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

Business Strategy

In line with the changes in external economic circumstances, in 2010 we will continue to actively capitalize on market opportunities,
increase our total physical production volume, and improve in the areas of health, safety and the environment. We will strengthen our internal management and optimize our allocation of resources; devote efforts to project construction to maintain
sustainable development; push forward team-building strategies to improve human resources development; and strive to increase production operations, reform and development to a new level.

We will devote efforts to production safety, environmental protection, occupational health, energy conservation and emissions reduction,
striving to comply with the requirements for the development of a low-carbon, green economy with recyclable materials. We will continue to implement an accountability system for all staff to ensure that staff responsibilities for safety and
environmental protection cover all relevant aspects. The system will also be implemented to strengthen safety monitoring in key areas by stepping up the desulfurization of flue gas and the treatment of foul odor and wastewater and by conducting
vigorous investigations into potential problems and to control and prevent potential risks. We will advance energy conservation and emissions reduction work by implementing various initiatives on a full scale such as emissions reduction in
production operations, engineering, structural and management projects.

We will endeavor to improve the operational
performance of our main production plants, striving to set record highs in terms of crude oil processing volume and total physical production volume. We will continue to reinforce the management and optimization of production operations by reducing
non-scheduled shut-downs of equipment and improving the overall efficiency of system operations. We will commit more efforts to resolve bottleneck issues that constrain the long-term operation of the production plants by further improving the
operating rates, load rates as well as technical and economic indicators of our plants. We will also launch a competition among staff aimed at encouraging them to advance overall production levels.

We will continue to develop a sophisticated management system to be used as a frontline tool to cope with difficult challenges and
increase profitability through system optimization and the unleashing of untapped potential, enhancement of efficiency and reduction of costs and expenses. We will continue to dedicate efforts to the efficient procurement and processing of crude oil
and major intermediate petrochemical materials, and to the improvement of production methods, product mix and operation of public utility systems to effectively control production costs. We will further improve budget management and strengthen the
formulation, implementation, monitoring, and analysis of the budget. We will incorporate various tasks into the management system so as to fully implement the internal control system among all staff members in the Company.

We will diligently accomplish preliminary work on our Phase 6 Project which focuses primarily on refinery renovations. We
will place equal emphasis on low cost and scale in upstream operations as well as high value-add and differentiation in downstream operations. We will push forward environmentally-friendly and resource-saving projects as soon as possible to further
improve the overall utilization of resources and the rate of return on assets. With respect to technological improvement and computerization, the Group will continue to devote efforts for the development of practical technologies, the application of
new technologies and research and development of high value-added products, and play an active role in developing sophisticated petrochemical technologies and products in the extended downstream sector, so as to provide technical assurance for
speeding up the adjustment of product mix, increasing the standards of energy conservation and consumption reduction and promoting subsequent development of the Company. We will also steadily develop a more computerized management system.

We will continue to actively and steadily promote various internal reform programs to adjust and improve the management
system. We will strive to achieve professional centralized management at the corporate level and incorporate professional operating mechanisms under the centralized management system. We will further strengthen and improve performance evaluation
including our three tier evaluation and assessment method as well as incentive and check-and-balance mechanisms. We will further strengthen the management and assessment of foreign investment operations, and advance the establishment and
development of foreign-invested enterprises. We will continue to carry out good tracking management of reformed enterprises to facilitate their steady and sound development.

We will continue to reinforce the building of the operation management team, the professional technical team and the skills operation
team; improve the mechanism for the selection, nurturing, utilization and retention of talent and fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of our staff at all levels. We will continue to advance various tasks for the cultivation of our corporate
culture, striving to create a united, proactive, positive and harmonious work environment. We will continue to satisfy, safeguard and extend the fundamental interests of staff and strengthen the staffs cohesiveness and sense of belonging to
the Company.

Production Processes

The key sectors in our vertically integrated production facilities are the ethylene units which produce ethylene and propylene, and our
aromatics plants which principally produce paraxylene (PX) and benzene. Ethylene is the major raw material in the production of polyethylene (PE) and monoethylene glycol (MEG) which, together with pure
terephthalic acid (PTA), is used to manufacture polyester. Propylene is the major raw material in the production of acrylonitrile and polypropylene (PP). These products are produced through the processing of a series of
petrochemical units from crude oil. Our production processes are shown in the flow chart below.

Our refinery units refine crude oil into five basic components: (1) naphtha,
(2) kerosene, (3) atmospheric gas oil (AGO), (4) VGO, and (5) residual oil. Naphtha and part of the AGO is fed to the ethylene units primarily to produce ethylene and propylene. The other part of the AGO is processed
into diesel oil, and kerosene is fed to the jet fuel sweetening unit to produce jet fuel. Part of the VGO is further processed in a hydrocracking unit producing mainly light and heavy naphtha, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), diesel oil,
various aromatic hydrocarbon products and jet fuel. The other part of the VGO and residual oil can be further processed into gasoline, diesel oil, LPG, propylene and other products.

Intermediate Petrochemicals

Ethylene Ethylene is either directly processed into PE resins or processed into other intermediate petrochemicals. The most
important of these is MEG. MEG is a key ingredient in polyester. It is produced by oxidizing ethylene in the ethylene oxide (EO)/ethylene glycol (EG) unit. Ethylene is also used to produce vinyl acetate which is processed
into PVA.

Propylene Propylene is either processed directly into PP resins or is further processed into other
intermediate petrochemicals such as acrylonitrile, acetonitrile, hydroxyl acetonitrile and sodium cyanide. Acrylonitrile is used in producing acrylics.

Vacuum gas oil VGO is passed through the hydrocracker, and the resulting heavy naphtha is fed into the aromatics plants to
produce PX and benzene. PX is processed into PTA, one of the principal raw materials in producing polyester.

Resins and
Plastics and Synthetic Fibers

We process our intermediate petrochemical products into five kinds of synthetic fiber
raw materials: (1) polyester, (2) acrylonitrile, (3) PP, (4) PE and (5) PVA. Each of these five products has its own production line or lines. We further process polyester and acrylonitrile into various types of synthetic
fibers.

Polyester MEG and PTA are fed into a polymerization unit which produces polyester chips and polyester
melt. Both chips and melt are used as raw materials in the production of polyester staple and filaments. Some chips are also sold to third parties.

Polyester staple fiber is a multi-strand fiber cut into short lengths which can be spun into fabric on its own or blended with cotton,
wool or flax to produce textiles. Polyester filaments are a class of more highly processed polyester materials which have been drawn and oriented to produce a long thread-like fiber.

Acrylonitrile We produce polyacrylonitrile by feeding acrylonitrile into a polymerization unit. By passing the
polyacrylonitrile through the fiber unit, acrylic fiber and acrylic staple fiber are produced, including cotton and wool type staple fibers. Wool acrylic staple fiber can be processed into acrylic wool strips.

Polypropylene We produce PP resins by feeding propylene into a polymerization unit. Our fiber grade PP resin is the main
ingredient for PP fiber production.

Polyethylene We have three sets of units producing PE, two of which produce
LDPE using the kettle type process, and the other unit produces all density PE products using the Borstar bimodal process.

Polyvinyl acetate PVA granules are produced from vinyl acetate (VAC), derived from ethylene.

Raw Materials

Crude Oil

Crude oil is our primary raw material and the most significant raw material we purchase from outside sources. In 2009, crude oil accounted
for approximately 58.76 % of our total cost of sales. Accordingly, the supply and price of crude oil are key factors in determining our profitability.

Allocation andTransportation  The Chinese government exercises centralized management and control of the distribution of
all crude oil, whether from domestic or foreign sources, and major petroleum products within China. Under this system, all our crude oil must be allocated by Sinopec Corp. During 2009, we did not experience any significant problems in obtaining
sufficient crude oil to meet our production needs.

Sinopec Group is responsible for preparing an annual plan on demand and
supply for crude oil and petroleum products that forms the basis of the Chinese governments annual balancing plan which effectively dictates how much crude oil we will receive each year. Likewise, under the balancing
plan, some of our petroleum products are designated for sale to the subsidiaries of Sinopec Group or other designated customers and we must consult Sinopec Group to sell elsewhere. Therefore, we cannot freely sell our petroleum products to
take advantage of any opportunities for higher-priced sales.

We have received confirmation from Sinopec Corp that we will receive an allocation of
0.4 million tons of domestic offshore crude oil and 10.3 million tons of foreign crude oil in 2010. Sinopec Corp has further confirmed that, subject to Chinas national crude oil policy, it will continue to allocate sufficient
quantities and appropriate kinds of crude oil to us, including domestic offshore and foreign crude oil, for our anticipated annual needs. We anticipate fully utilizing our 2010 allocation of crude oil. We believe that the mix of crude oil feedstocks
currently available is satisfactory for our 2010 production capacity and targets. Additionally, as part of Chinas commitment at its accession into WTO, certain non-state-owned enterprises have been granted an increasing quota to import crude
oil. Although we do not expect to obtain crude oil through this channel in the foreseeable future due to the current crude oil allocation system, this may provide us with an alternative source of crude oil supply.

Crude Oil Mix Our refining equipment is designed to process certain grades of crude oil. Therefore, the origin and quality
of the crude oil available can be important to our business. We believe, as we are significantly increasing usage of foreign crude oil, we will continue to be able to obtain such foreign crude oil that is compatible with our refining equipment. The
overall mix of foreign versus domestic crude oil we process in 2010 will depend on a variety of factors, including the amount of future allocations of domestic offshore crude oil and the availability, price, quality, processing profitability and
compatibility with our refining capabilities of foreign crude oil. Provided there are no significant modifications to the existing crude oil allocation policy, we believe that sufficient supplies of crude oil will be available on the domestic or
international markets for our 2010 production capacity and goals.

In 2009, our crude oil was sourced as follows:



|                            |  |        |  
|--------------------------- |  | ------ | -
|Domestic offshore crude oil |  | 7.79   | %
|Foreign crude oil           |  | 92.21  | %
|Total:                      |  | 100.00 | %

In 2009, a
minimal amount of our foreign crude oil was sourced from Iran, which is a country identified by the U.S. State Department as a state sponsor of terrorism and subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export controls. Details of the purchase volume and
purchase expenses are provided below:



|       |  |                       |  |            |  |                      |  |

|       |  |                       |  |            |  |                      |  |           
|Total  |  | 8,747.1               |  | 100        |  | 25.817               |  | 100       
|       |  |                       |  |            |  |                      |  |           

As a result of a consistent decrease in the supply of
domestic crude oil, we expect that we will continue to rely principally on foreign sources for our crude oil supply. However, we believe that we will be able to maintain our processing efficiency through technological adjustments of our equipment
and quality control and that increased use of imported oil will not materially adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Foreign and domestic offshore crude oil is supplied by tanker and pipeline to our oil terminal wharf and oil storage tank. See
Item 4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment -Wharfs.

In the past, we have not experienced disruption in our crude
oil supply. We have on-site crude oil storage tanks at Chenshan wharf capable of storing approximately 300,000 cubic meters of crude oil, primarily to provide crude oil to our No. 2 atmosphere vacuum distillation facility. This crude oil
storage can provide us with approximately a 20 day supply of crude oil. The crude oil for our No. 3 atmosphere vacuum distillation facility is mainly supplied from the Ningbo-Shanghai-Nanjing oil pipeline. Due to our ability to obtain crude oil
from multiple sources, we are able to meet our normal requirements for crude oil.

PricingThe price of domestic
offshore crude oil is controlled by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and Sinopec Group based on government pricing policies and by reference to the price of the crude oil of the same quality in the international market,
while imported crude oil is generally allocated to us at prevailing international market prices. The average cost of foreign and domestic offshore crude oil in 2009 was RMB 3,053 (US$447) per ton and RMB 2,626 (US$385) per ton, respectively. In
2009, we processed 8.08 million tons of foreign crude oil and 680 thousand tons of domestic offshore crude oil.

##### Table of Contents

Until March 2001 the Chinese government implemented a unified pricing system for crude oil.
Each month, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) would establish an indicative price for each grade of domestic onshore crude oil based on comparable international market prices, inclusive of any duties that would have
been imposed had the oil been imported. The actual price for domestic onshore oil would be such indicative price plus a surcharge. This surcharge was determined by CNPC and Sinopec Group to reflect any transportation and other miscellaneous costs
that would have been incurred in having the oil delivered to various refineries. Beginning March 2001, the NDRC ceased publishing an indicative price. Instead, the indicative price for domestic onshore oil is calculated and determined directly by
CNPC and Sinopec Group based on the principles and methods formerly applied by the NDRC.

Sinopec Corp will allocate crude oil
to us in sources selected and quantities confirmed by the Company at market prices. On this basis, we believe that changes in crude oil prices should not have a material effect on our competitiveness with other domestic producers. Nevertheless, any
increase in the price of crude oil could have an adverse impact on our profitability to the extent that we are unable to pass cost increases on to our customers.

Coal

Most of the coal used for electricity generation is purchased through a unified system of procurement by Sinopec Corp, and the rest is
purchased directly by us from mines. Coal is transported by rail from the mines to Qinhuangdao port and shipped by barge to Jinshanwei where it is delivered to the plant via a wharf and conveyer system. Our cost of coal is primarily dependent on
transportation charges. Although coal may be purchased from alternative sources, railroad transportation must be obtained by allocation from the Chinese government on a monthly basis.

We expect that our total requirement for coal to generate electricity in 2010 will be approximately 2.03 million tons. In 2009, we
consumed approximately 1.79 million tons of coal, a decrease from 2008 of approximately 0.33 million tons.

Other Raw Materials

We produce most of the raw materials used as feedstock for our operations. If any of these raw materials, other than ethylene, becomes
unavailable from internal production, we believe that there are sufficient alternative sources at reasonable prices and the unavailability of raw materials from internal sources will not have a significant effect on our operations and profitability.

We purchase some ancillary raw materials from outside sources. These raw materials include methanol, ammonia, sodium
hydroxide, sulfur, acetone, acrylonitrile, PTA, propylene and a variety of catalytic agents. In 2009, the total cost of these materials accounted for approximately 17.16 % of our total cost of sales. We do not expect any difficulties in
obtaining a supply of any of these ancillary raw materials in amounts sufficient to meet our needs in the foreseeable future.

Sales and Marketing

Distribution

The distribution of our fuel products is subject to government regulations. We are required to sell certain refined products to the
subsidiaries of Sinopec Group or customers designated by Sinopec Group. Since the second half of 2005, Sinopec Group has executed reforms to its system of selling petrochemical products and implemented what it refers to as a Five
Consolidations strategy featuring consolidated marketing strategy, consolidated promotion, consolidated logistics optimization, consolidated sales and consolidated branding. As a result, the sales of our major petrochemical
products are now conducted in a consolidated manner by sales agents designated by Sinopec Group. However, we have the autonomy to decide on the distribution method of our other products in accordance with market conditions. The products we sold in
2009 that were subject to planned distribution by Sinopec Group, sales by agents and sales based on our own discretion accounted for 53.43%, 37.43% and 9.14%, respectively, of the total products we sold.

We generally sell our products to larger trading companies and industrial users with whom we have long-standing relationships, including
Sinopec Group or customers designated by Sinopec Group. We believe that the transition to sales of major petrochemical products by agents designated by Sinopec Group will increase our distribution efficiency by allowing us to benefit from Sinopec
Groups extensive and highly specialized sales network. It will also allow us to focus more of our resources on reducing production costs and enhancing our technical support.

We use long-term contracts to sell most of our products. We did not experience significant write-offs or defaults on our accounts
receivable or other trade accounts in 2009. Though affected by the global economic downturn, in general we managed to keep a stable link between production and sales in 2009.

Product breakdown

Synthetic Fibers In 2009, 11.33 % of our synthetic fiber products were purchased by provincial and municipal government
trading companies that act as intermediaries between us and end-users. No single customer accounted for more than 16 % of our sales of synthetic fibers in 2009.

Resins and Plastics  In 2009, approximately 5.52 % of our resins and plastics sales were to provincial and municipal
government trading companies and approximately 60.80 % were sold to industrial users. No single customer accounted for more than 4 % of our sales of resins and plastics in 2009.

Intermediate Petrochemicals We sell a variety of intermediate petrochemical products, none of which were sold in
substantial quantities.

Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co. Ltd. (Chlor-Alkali) is the principal outside consumer
of our ethylene. In 2009, we sold 31.3 thousand tons of ethylene, representing 3.37 % of our total 2009 production of such product, to Chlor-Alkali at prices mutually agreed upon by both parties.

Petroleum Products In 2009, our primary gasoline and diesel customer was Sinopec Sales Company Eastern China Branch
Company. We sold residual oil directly to industrial end-users for use as industrial fuel and as feedstock to produce light petroleum products.

Product Pricing

Most of our products other than petroleum products are permitted to be sold at market prices. However, four types of petroleum products
(gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and liquefied petroleum gas) that we sell are subject to varying degrees of government pricing control and are, accordingly, sold at prices set by the Chinese government, which are often below our costs. In 2007, 2008
and 2009, approximately 54.06%, 43.52% and 47.70 %, of our net sales were from products subject to price controls. Price controls may apply to these products in various ways. Such pricing controls are sometimes applied exclusively to our
products, exclusively to our competitors products or sometimes applied to neither our products nor our competitors products. The Chinese government has adopted changes to the pricing mechanism for domestic refined oil to be indirectly
aligned with international crude oil prices in a controlled manner through use of certain formula(s). However the pricing mechanism used in these formula(s) is not transparent.

For products that are not subject to price controls, we set our prices with reference to prices in the major Chinese chemical commodities
markets in Shanghai and other parts of China. We also monitor pricing developments in major international commodities markets, particularly in Southeast Asia. In most cases, we revise product prices each month, or more frequently during periods of
price volatility. Due to our economies of scale, brand recognition and high quality of products, we believe that we can continue to price our products competitively.

Competition

We compete principally in the Chinese domestic market where 99.86 % of our products in volume were sold in 2009. In addition, the
limited transportation infrastructure in China and the difficulties involved in transporting petrochemical products force companies to compete primarily on a regional basis. In 2009, 92.74 % of our net sales were made to customers in Eastern
China.

Our Competitive Advantages

We believe our primary competitive advantages are quality of product, pricing, brand recognition, geographic location and vertical
integration. We have received many prizes and awards from both central and local government authorities for high product quality. Furthermore, our location on the outskirts of the densely populated and highly industrialized Shanghai area places us
in close proximity to many of our customers. This location also gives us convenient access to ocean transport and inland waterways, which results in a competitive advantage in terms of transportation cost and reliability and punctuality of product
delivery.

We believe that our vertical integration represents a significant competitive advantage over non-integrated
competitors in China, both in terms of reliability in delivery and price. For most downstream products, our vertical integration results in significant savings on transportation and storage costs which would be incurred by less vertically integrated
facilities.

The Domestic Competitive Environment

Prior to 1993, because distribution and pricing of our products were determined in accordance with the State Plan, we did not operate in a
competitive environment. With the liberalization of control over pricing and product allocation by the Chinese government, competition in the domestic market has been gradually increasing. At the same time, Chinese private enterprises have gradually
overcome technological and funding barriers to extend their business from the downstream processing sector to the upstream petrochemical field. These enterprises have advantages in many areas such as flexibility in operation costs, preferential
policy treatment and regional presence, and may use these advantages to compete with us in markets for our products.

Foreign Competition and the World Trade Organization

China joined the WTO on December 11, 2001. As part of its membership commitments, China agreed to eliminate certain tariff and
non-tariff barriers to foreign competition in the domestic petrochemical industry that benefited us in the past. In particular, China has reduced tariffs on imported petrochemicals products that compete with ours from between 5% to 17% to between 0%
to 14% with further reductions planned until they reach a range of between 0% and 6.5%. In accordance with its WTO commitments, China has made the following changes:



| |  |  | foreign investors are now permitted to wholly-own domestic petrochemical companies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrictions on the import of crude oil by non-state owned companies are gradually relaxed;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign-owned companies are granted the right to import petrochemical products; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign-owned companies are permitted to distribute and market petroleum products in both retail and wholesale markets in China.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of these measures, we are facing increased competition from foreign companies and importation.
Changes in crude oil importation and distribution could potentially affect our current supply arrangements with Sinopec Corp.

Prior to its entry into the WTO, the Chinese government took early steps to reduce protection from import barriers. Tariffs have been
gradually reduced beginning in 1997. Foreign imports are likely to reduce prices for domestic petrochemical products and may reduce our net sales. Nevertheless, we believe that our products have been, and will continue generally to be, competitive
with imports. These early steps and recent tariff reductions have exposed us to international competition and should help us meet increased competition as Chinas WTO entry begins to affect our markets.

In addition to tariff reductions, China is liberalizing the import of crude oil and the distribution of processed oil and other
petrochemical products. Import and export of crude oil has historically been limited to designated state-owned companies. China agreed to allocate 7.2 million tons of crude oil to non-state owned traders in 2002 and to increase this amount by
15% each year for 10 years, at which time the growth rate will be reviewed by interested WTO member countries. Similarly, several categories of processed oil are also subject to limitation requiring trade through state owned traders. China will
allocate 4.0 million tons of processed oils to non-state owned traders and increase this amount by 15% annually for 10 years.

In concurrent commitments, China has agreed that minority foreign-owned enterprises would receive trading rights by December 11,
2002, majority foreign-owned enterprises would receive trading rights by December 11, 2003 and wholly foreign- owned enterprises would receive trading rights by December 11, 2004. These changes could, in the long-term, open up alternative
sources of crude oil that are not available to us today. We also expect that they will create additional foreign investment in Chinas petrochemical industry and additional competition for us.

Overall, we think that Chinas WTO entry will create substantial amounts of new investment and business in China, with a
corresponding increase in sales opportunities for us.

Our Competitive Position

In the following discussion, internal consumption of resins and intermediate petrochemicals produced by integrated manufacturers in the
production of downstream products are treated as sales.

Synthetic Fibers

In 2009, we had an approximate 1.09 % share and imports had an approximate 2.25 % share of total domestic polyester and acrylic
consumption. We attribute the high level of imports to a variety of factors, including a shortage in the domestic supply and the importation of synthetic fibers into special economic zones in China, where tariffs are not imposed on imports processed
for re-export.

The following table summarizes the competitive position of our principal synthetic fibers according to
domestic sales in 2009.

Intermediate Petrochemicals

In 2009, we were one of the largest sellers of intermediate petrochemicals in China and held an approximate 4.77 % share of the total
domestic consumption. Imports had an approximate 28.51 % share of domestic consumption. Ethylene, benzene and butadiene are our major intermediate petrochemical products. In 2009, we were a major ethylene producer in China. The following table
summarizes the competitive position of our principal intermediate petrochemicals according to domestic sales in 2009.

Petroleum
Products

In 2009, we had an approximate 1.86 % share of the total domestic petroleum products market while imports
had an approximate 5 % share. Although we have one of the largest refining capabilities in China, we use most of our refining capacity to produce feedstock for our own downstream processing of petrochemical products.

The domestic markets for each of our major petroleum products are geographically concentrated because these markets tend to be highly
localized with individual producers controlling a large share of the markets in their locality. In 2009, we sold approximately 98.62 % of our petroleum products in Eastern China.

Investments

We established Secco, a Sino-foreign equity joint venture, in late 2001 together with BP and Sinopec Corp, primarily to build and operate
a 900,000 ton Rated Capacity ethylene petrochemical manufacturing facility. Secco completed construction and commenced its manufacturing operations in 2005. In 2009, we have expanded the capacity of certain facilities up to 1,090,000 tons of
ethylene per annum. We own 20% of the equity interest of Secco.

In 2009, Secco achieved a total sales revenue of RMB 16.438
billion, representing a decrease of 28.06% from its sales revenue of RMB 22.851 billion in 2008. The decrease of sales revenue is attributable to a complete overhaul and facility reconstruction for capacity expansion purposes during May to July,
2009. The resulting decrease of facility operation time resulted in the decrease of production. The average sales price in 2009 was also lower than the average sales price in 2008, which also reduced sales revenue. Seccos net profit in 2009
was RMB695 million, as compared to a net loss of RMB 494 million in 2008. Despite the average sales price in 2009 being lower than the average sales price in 2008, Secco achieved a net profit in 2009 primarily due to the greater effect of the
lower cost of its raw materials as compared to the costs in 2008.

Environmental Protection

We are subject to national and local environmental protection regulations, which currently impose a graduated schedule of fees for the
discharge of waste substances, require the payment of fines for pollution and provide for the forced closure of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring it to cease or cure certain environmentally damaging practices. We have
established environmental protection systems which consist of pollution control facilities to treat certain of our waste materials and to safeguard against accidents. Because of the nature of our business, however, we store and discharge into the
environment a significant amount of waste substances. During 2009, we were assessed a total of RMB 35.48 million (US$5.198 million) in fees for discharges of waste substances. As of May 1, 2010, we had not been assessed any fines for
environmental violations and there were no actions pending or, to our knowledge, threatened which would result in the assessment of such a fine.

We believe our environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for the existing national and local environmental protection
regulations. However, there can be no assurance that Chinese national or local authorities will not impose additional regulations that would require additional expenditures in respect of environmental matters in the future.

Insurance

We currently maintain insurance coverage with Sinopec Group which, as of December 31, 2009, was approximately RMB 28.3 billion
(US$4.146 billion) on our property and facilities and approximately RMB 2.3 billion (US$ 337 million) on our inventory. Transportation vehicles and products in transit are not insured by Sinopec Group. We maintain insurance policies for these assets
with The Peoples Insurance Company of China. The Sinopec Group insurance coverage is compulsory and applies to all enterprises controlled by Sinopec Group, pursuant to guidelines of Sinopec Group which may not be legally enforceable against
Sinopec Group. Thus, there is doubt under Chinese law as to whether we could enforce insurance claims against Sinopec Group.

We do not carry any third party liability insurance to cover claims in respect of personal injury, property or environmental damage
arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operations other than on our transportation vehicles. We have not had a third party liability claim filed against us during the last five years. Since business interruption insurance is not
customary in China, we do not carry such insurance.

Government Regulations

Following the development of several major oil fields and a growth in demand for petroleum and petrochemical products in China in the
early 1970s, the Chinese government organized petroleum refining and petrochemical production and processing facilities into large complexes that would permit integrated production of petroleum products, intermediate petrochemicals, resins and
plastics, and synthetic fibers.

Although the Chinese government is liberalizing its control over the petroleum and
petrochemical industries in China, significant government regulations that limit the business strategies available to us remain. Central government agencies and their local or provincial level counterparts do not own or directly control our
production facilities. However, they exercise significant control over the petrochemical industry in areas such as pricing, production quotas, quality standards, allocation of raw materials and finished products, allocation of foreign exchange and
Renminbi loans for capital construction projects. The Chinese governments intentions with respect to the development objectives and policies for the petrochemical industry are stated as part of the Five Year Plans for National Economic and
Social Development formulated every five years. These plans at both the national and Shanghai municipality level have identified the petrochemical industry as a pillar industry which may qualify companies in the petrochemical industry
for preferential treatment by governmental agencies.

Historically, we were supervised by Sinopec, a ministry-level enterprise
under the direct supervision of the State Council, Chinas highest administrative body. As a result of a governmental restructuring in 1998, we became subject to the administration of the State Bureau of Petroleum and Chemical Industry. After
its functions were terminated in March 2001, we became subject to the administration of the State Economic and Trade Commission. The State Economic and Trade Commission was dissolved in March 2003 and its function in directing the reform and
management of state-owned enterprises were assumed by the State Assets Regulatory and Management Commission, its function in industry planning and policy making were assumed by NDRC, and its functions in administering domestic trade, coordinating
and implementing import and export plans of critical industrial products and raw materials were assumed by the Ministry of Commerce. Since then, we have been subject to the industrial oversight of these three new governmental agencies at the
national level.

##### Table of Contents

As part of this restructuring, Sinopec was also restructured in July 1998. The succeeding
entity, Sinopec Group, was authorized to conduct a petrochemical business and to control the exploration of crude oil and natural gas and crude oil refining, mainly in the southern and eastern regions of China. China Petroleum and Natural Gas
Corporation, another major state-owned petrochemical company, was also restructured, renamed China National Petroleum Corporation and authorized to conduct the same type of business, mainly in the northern and western regions of China. On
December 31, 1999, Sinopec Group completed a reorganization pursuant to which certain of its core oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses and related assets and liabilities were transferred to its subsidiary, Sinopec Corp, currently
our controlling shareholder.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment.

Real Property

Our corporate headquarters and production facilities, occupying an area of approximately 7.03 square kilometers, are located in
Jinshanwei, approximately 75 kilometers from downtown Shanghai. The total gross floor area of all our production and other facilities is approximately 2 million square meters. We own all of the buildings and facilities located at the site. We
have the right to use the land upon which our buildings and facilities are located for a term of 50 years beginning in 1993 without the payment of any rent or usage fees other than land use taxes. We also have the right to transfer our land use
rights to third parties without any payment to the Chinese government, so long as the use of the land remains the same as when the land use right was granted to us and the terms of the land use right we received will be applicable to any transferee.

Plants and Facilities

The following charts set forth the Rated Capacities of our principal production units. The actual production capacity of a production unit
can exceed Rated Capacity and may be further increased without increasing the Rated Capacity through technical improvements or expansion of such unit. The utilization rate of a production unit is based upon Rated Capacity rather than actual
production capacity and may vary with technical enhancements, changes in production management and scheduling of maintenance.

The following table sets forth the Rated Capacities and weighted average utilization rates of our principal production units for
petroleum products and intermediate petrochemicals in 2009:

Our polyester units use technology from Kanebo Corporation of Japan and E.I. Dupont
DeNemours & Co. Inc. (Dupont) of the United States. The polyester staple units use technology from Teijin of Japan and Jima of Germany as well as Chinese technology. The polyester filament units use technology from Murata
Manufacturing Company Limited and Teijin Corporation of Japan, Barmag AG of Germany and Dupont. We produce polyethylene in three units, two LDPE units which use technology from Mitsubishi Petrochemical Corporation of Japan and BASF LDPE of Germany
and one HDPE unit uses the Borstar bimodal polyethylene technology from Northern European Chemical Engineering Company.

The
acrylic fiber units were built domestically, based on a design of equipment which had been imported into China in the 1960s and that we substantially improved. In 1996, we acquired two additional acrylic fiber units which use technology from the
Kawasaki Corporation of Japan. We produce PP in three identical units using technology from Himont Corporation of the United States. The PP staple fiber unit employs technology from FARE Company of Italy. The PVA unit uses technology acquired from
Kuraray Corporation of Japan.

Power Facilities

Our electricity requirements are currently supplied by our own 425 megawatt coal-fired power plant and petroleum coke power plant. These
power plants are designed to supply power needed by our facilities. We are connected to the East China electricity grid, which provides a back-up source of power in case of a shortfall in our power supply.

Other Facilities

We also have facilities to produce industrial water, steam, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen which we use in our production facilities.

Maintenance

We engage in production stoppages for facility maintenance and repairs and implement our routine monthly maintenance and repair plans
according to the needs of our production facilities, our requirements for product quality, and our commitment to security and environmental protection, The technicians in our facility management department have responsibility for the daily
management of maintenance and repair work. We also outsource facility maintenance and repair projects to qualified contractors.

Transportation-Related Fixtures

Crude oil, our principal raw material, is transported by pipeline and oil tanker to a crude oil terminal wharf and storage tanks. Our
products leave the factory by water, rail, road and pipeline. In 2009, approximately 57.42 % of our products by sales volume were collected by customers from our premises, and we delivered the balance. Our major ethylene customer is supplied
via a pipeline. Some of the products collected by customers were also transported using our facilities.

Wharfs

We own two chemical wharfs at Jinshan with four berths of 3,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 25,000 tons. We also own a connecting
pipeline capable of loading up to approximately 1.4 million tons of chemical products annually onto ocean-going barges and ships. In 2009, products representing 16.16 % of total sales volume were shipped from the wharf. We also have a
facility to load ships and barges which use the regions inland waterways. In 2009, products representing 6.76% of total sales volume were shipped from these facilities. We believe that we have a competitive advantage because a greater
proportion of our products are shipped by water as opposed to rail and truck, which is subject to capacity constraints on Chinas rail and highway networks. Additionally, we own facilities for receiving crude oil and coal at docks that we own
and transporting such materials by pipeline or conveyor to our production facilities.

We own an oil terminal wharf at
Chenshan in Zhejiang Province, which is comprised of two berths, each of which is capable of handling 45,000 ton vessels. Two 25 kilometer pipelines connect this oil terminal wharf with our facilities.

Rail

We own a railroad loading depot with an annual capacity of 50,000 tons. The depot provides access via a spur line to the national Chinese
railway system. In 2009, products representing 1.87 % of total sales volume were transported from the factory by rail. Our ability to transport products by rail is limited because of Chinas overburdened railway system, the allocation of
use of which remains strictly controlled by the Chinese government.

General

Our financial performance has been affected by factors arising from operating in a planned economy which are beyond our control. However,
with Chinas WTO accession, the impact of these factors has gradually been decreasing.

You should read the following
discussion and analysis in conjunction with our audited financial statements and our selected financial data, in each case, together with the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this annual report. Our audited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during 2009. Our financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of our
financial statements. We based our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable which form the basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other
sources. On an on-going basis, our management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, circumstances and conditions change.

Our principal accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The selection of critical accounting
policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing our financial statements. To enhance
our readers understanding of our business activities, we have identified critical accounting policies. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our
financial statements.

Impairments for long-lived assets

If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered
impaired, and an impairment loss may be recognized in accordance with International Accounting Standard No.36 Impairment of Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever
events or changes in circumstance have indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling prices because quoted market prices for our assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining
the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to level of sale volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. We use
all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sale volume, selling price and amount of
operating costs. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, we recognized impairment charges on property, plant and equipment of RMB 200 million, RMB 441 million and RMB 98 million, respectively.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into
account the estimated residual values. We review the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on our historical
experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates. There were no significant changes in these
estimates during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Impairment for bad and doubtful debts

We estimate impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the customers to make the required
payments. We base the estimates on the aging of the accounts receivable balance, customer credit-worthiness and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than
estimated. Impairment provisions for bad and doubtful debts were RMB 4 million, nil and nil during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Allowance for diminution in value of inventories

Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value
of inventories. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. We base the estimates on all available
information, including the current market prices of the finished goods and raw materials and historical operating costs. If the actual selling prices were to be lower or the costs of completion were to be higher than the estimates, the actual
allowance for diminution in value of inventories could be higher than estimated. Provisions for diminution in the value of inventories were RMB 36 million, RMB 745 million and RMB58 million during the years ended December 31, 2007,
2008 and 2009, respectively.

Income tax

In June 2007, the State Administration of Taxation issued a notice requesting local tax authorities to immediately cease the
implementation of certain preferential tax treatment which was granted to nine joint stock enterprises approved by the State Council in 1993 to offer shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the basis that such treatment had expired. The notice
further required that any difference in the past financial years between the enterprise income tax (EIT) calculated based on the preferential tax rates that had expired and that calculated based on the applicable regular tax rates must
be subject to the PRC Law on Tax Collection and Management.

We are one of the nine joint stock enterprises and had enjoyed a
preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%. In August 2007, we were notified by the Shanghai Municipal Office of the State Administration of Taxation that from 2007, our income tax rate would be adjusted from the original 15% to 33% with effect
from 2007. With respect to uncertainties about enterprise income tax differences arising from 2006 and before as originated therefrom, the Company has been informed by the relevant tax authority to settle the EIT for the years prior to 2007 at a
rate of 33 percent. To date, the Company has not been requested to pay additional EIT in respect of any years prior to 2007. There is no further development of this matter during the year ended 31 December 2009. No provision has been made in
the financial statements for this uncertainty for tax years prior to 2007 because management believes it can not reliably estimate the amount of the obligation, if any, that might exist.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of temporary deductible differences. Since deferred tax assets are only recognized to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Managements judgment is required to assess the probability of future taxable profits.
Managements assessment is periodically reviewed and deferred tax assets are adjusted according to the probability of future taxable profits.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2009 compared with year ended December 31, 2008.

Net sales

Our
total net sales decreased by 20.20% to RMB 47,345.3 million in 2009 compared to RMB 59,329.8 million in 2008. In early 2009, the impact of the global financial crisis on the real economy became more apparent. With decreasing demand and
plummeting prices, the domestic petrochemical market continued with the downward trend of late 2008. A package of stimulus policies aimed at expanding domestic demand and maintaining growth implemented by the Chinese government helped
cause demand in the market to bounce back from the bottom in March. Since then, the overall market trends have been better. The demand for some staple products gradually increased and consumption of products continued to recover. The prices of
petrochemical products in the market also began to increase. However, in general, the average price of various petrochemical products in 2009 decreased slightly as compared to 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the weighted average
prices (excluding tax) of our synthetic fibres as well as resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products decreased by 12.66%, 21.74%, 27.32% and 25.14%, respectively as compared to 2008.

(i) Synthetic fibres

The net sales of synthetic fibre products decreased to RMB 2,823.7 million in 2009, representing a 22.89% decrease compared to
RMB3,662.0 million in 2008. The weighted average price of synthetic fibres decreased by 12.66% as compared to 2008. As a result of the global economic crisis, the sales volume of our synthetic fibres in 2009 further decreased, which led to a
decrease of 11.71% in the total sales of synthetic fibres as compared to 2008. With the recovery of the textile market in the second half of 2009, the demand in the market for the synthetic fibre products increased slightly. In the fourth quarter of
2009, the market price for acrylic fibre, the main product of synthetic fibre, was close to reaching its highest price in history.

Net sales of synthetic fibre products accounted for 6.00% of our total net sales in 2009, representing a decrease of 0.20 percentage
points as compared to 2008.

(ii) Resins and plastics

The net sales of resins and plastics decreased to RMB 12,263.6 million in 2009, representing a decrease of 17.42% compared to
RMB14,850.3 million in 2008. Weighted average sales price of resins and plastics in 2009 decreased by 21.74% compared to 2008 and sales volume in 2009 increased by 5.52% compared to 2008. Among our resins and plastics products, the average sales
price of polyester chips for 2009 decreased by 16.60% compared to 2008 and the sales volume increased by 4.76% compared to 2008. The average sales price of polyethylene for 2009 decreased by 21.89% as compared to 2008 and the sales volume increased
by 4.66% as compared to 2008. The sales volume of polyester chips and polyethylene accounted for 26.25% and 29.09% of our total sales of resins and plastics in 2009 respectively. With the implementation of a national government investment plan in an
amount of RMB 4,000 billion, the demand for resins and plastics in the market should increase steadily as compared to 2008.

Net sales of resins and plastics accounted for 25.90% of our total net sales in 2009, representing an increase of 0.90 percentage points
as compared to 2008.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

The net sales of intermediate petrochemicals decreased to RMB 8,421.0 million in 2009, representing a decrease of 18.02% compared to
RMB 10,271.8 million in 2008, with the weighted average price of intermediate petrochemicals decreasing by 27.32% compared to 2008 and sales volume increasing by 12.79% as compared to 2008. Among our intermediate petrochemicals, the weighted
average sales prices of pure benzene and ethylene oxide decreased by 34.28% and 37.71% respectively as compared to 2008. The sales volume of pure benzene and ethylene oxide accounted for 14.65% and 12.87% of our total sales of intermediate
petrochemicals in 2009 respectively.

The net sales of intermediate petrochemicals accounted for 17.80% of our total net sales
in 2009, representing an increase of 0.50 percentage points as compared to 2008.

(iv) Petroleum products

The net sales of petroleum products decreased to RMB 18,917.9 million in 2009, representing a decrease of 31.34% compared to RMB
27,552.9 million in 2008, with a decrease of 25.14% in the weighted average price as compared to 2008, and with a decrease of 8.28% in the sales volume. As a result of the global economic crisis, the demand for diesel oil in the market
decreased as compared to 2008, which led to a decrease of 19.06% in our sales volume of diesel oil. Diesel oil is mainly used for the transportation industry. According to relevant statistics, the business volume for the Chinese transportation
industry in 2009 decreased by 20% as compared to 2008.

##### Table of Contents

The net sales of petroleum products accounted for 39.90% of our total net sales in 2009,
representing a decrease of 6.50 percentage points as compared to 2008.

(v) Other activities

The net sales from other activities increased to RMB 4,919.1 million in 2009, representing an increase of 64.36% compared to
RMB2,992.8 million in 2008 primarily due to a significant increase in our trading volume of petrochemical products at one subsidiary as compared to 2008.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are comprised of cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses, other operating expenses and other operating
income.

Our operating expenses significantly decreased by 34.75% to RMB 45,321.8 million in 2009 compared to RMB
69,459.3 million in 2008. The cost of sales and expenses of synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals, and petroleum products amounted to RMB 2,812.3 million, RMB 11,419.3 million, RMB 8,230.2 million and
RMB 18,113.0 million, respectively, representing decreases of 47.07%, 32.93%, 20.21% and 46.43%, respectively, as compared to 2008. The operating expenses of other activities amounted to RMB 4,747.0 million, representing an increase of
58.59% as compared to 2008.

(i) Synthetic fibres

The operating expenses of synthetic fibres decreased by RMB 2,501.2 million compared to 2008, primarily due to a decrease in the unit
price of raw materials for producing synthetic fibres.

(ii) Resins and plastics

The operating expenses of resins and plastics decreased by RMB 5,607.7 million as compared to 2008, primarily due to decreased unit
costs for raw materials such as ethylene and propylene.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

The operating expenses of intermediate petrochemicals decreased by RMB 2,084.3 million compared to 2008, which was mainly
attributable to a decrease in unit cost of intermediate petrochemicals resulting from the decrease in the annual average unit cost of crude oil, which directly led to a decrease in the operating expenses of intermediate petrochemicals.

(iv) Petroleum products

The operating expenses of petroleum products decreased by RMB 15,698.0 million compared to 2008, primarily due to the decrease in
crude oil prices (which is our major production raw material) which directly led to a significant decrease in the operating expenses of petroleum products.

(v) Other activities

The operating expenses of other activities increased by RMB 1,753.7 million compared to 2008, which was primarily attributable to the
significant increase of trading volume of petrochemical products at one subsidiary.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales significantly decreased to RMB 45,010.2 million in 2009, representing a decrease of 34.35% compared to RMB68,556.4
million in 2008, and the cost of sales accounted for 95.07% of the net sales for 2009, primarily due to the significant decrease in crude oil prices in 2009, which was our major raw material.

(i) Crude Oil

In 2009, we processed 8,757,800 tons of crude oil (no imported crude oil was processed on a sub-contracting basis during the year),
representing a decrease of 480,500 tons compared to 9,238,300 tons in 2008. The volumes of imported crude oil and offshore crude oil processed by us were 8,076,900 tons and 680,900 tons, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

The total cost of crude oil processed by us in 2009 amounted to RMB 26,450.0 million,
representing a significant decrease of 46.02% compared to RMB 48,997.0 million in 2008 and accounting for 58.76% of the total cost of sales. The weighted average cost of crude oil for us was RMB 3,020.15 per ton, representing a significant
decrease of 43.06% as compared to 2008. The average cost of imported crude oil and offshore crude oil processed by us were RMB 3,053.40 per ton and RMB 2,625.79 per ton, respectively. Because our offshore crude oil is mainly purchased in
the first half year, the average cost of the offshore crude oil processed by us was relatively lower.

(ii) Other expenses

The expenses for other ancillary materials were RMB 7,724.9 million in 2009, representing a decrease of 22.59%
compared to RMB 9,978.8 million in 2008, which was primarily attributable to the decrease of the cost of ancillary materials resulting from the decreased crude oil price.

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses amounted to RMB450.4 million, representing a decrease of 3.76% compared to RMB468.0 million in 2008
primarily due to a decrease in the sales operation fees resulting from the decrease of sales volume and a decrease in our sales agency fees for daily (continuous) related party transactions during the reporting period.

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to RMB277.2 million in 2009, representing an increase of 90.91% compared to RMB145.2 million in 2008,
which was primarily due to income of RMB92.0 million from the disposal of land use right and an increase in income from other investments during the reporting period.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses decreased from RMB580.0 million in 2008 to RMB138.3 million in 2009, representing a decrease of 76.16%, primarily
due to a decrease of RMB342.5 million in our provision made for impairments of fixed assets during the reporting period as compared to 2008. On the other hand, our employee reduction expenses during the reporting period decreased by RMB77.3 million
as compared to 2008.

Income/ (loss) from operation

We earned an operating profit of RMB2,023.5 million in 2009, representing a significant increase of RMB 9,840.8 million compared to
an operating loss of RMB7,817.3 million in 2008, which was primarily due to a significant decrease in cost of sales and other expenses during the reporting period.

Net financing costs

Our net financing costs were RMB321.1 million in 2009, representing a decrease of 2.81% compared to RMB330.4 million in 2008.

Investment income

Our investment income was RMB222.8 million in 2009, mainly due to income from the disposal of financial assets.

Earnings/(loss) before income tax

We obtained a profit before tax of RMB2,166.5 million in 2009, representing a significant increase of RMB10,180.9 million compared to a
pre-tax loss of RMB8,014.4 million in 2008.

Income tax

We had an income tax of RMB511.0 million in 2009. Our income tax credit from 2008 was RMB1,812.7 million, which was primarily due to the
fact that we recognized deferred income tax asset for tax losses generated in 2008. We earned a profit in 2009 and realized part of the deferred income tax assets in respect of tax losses carried forward and provision for inventories.

In accordance with the revised Enterprise Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China with effect from
January 1, 2008, the income tax rate of the Company for 2009 was 25% (2008: 25%).

Net income/(loss)

We earned a net income after tax of RMB1,655.5 million in 2009, an increase of RMB7,857.2 million compared to an
after-tax loss of RMB6,201.7 million in 2008.

Year ended December 31, 2008 compared with year ended December 31,
2007.

Net sales and other income

Our total net sales increased by 9.35% to RMB59,329.8 million in 2008 compared to RMB54,254.7 million in 2007. In the first half of 2008,
the prices of petrochemical products continued to rise in general as a result of a substantial rise in international oil prices. However, in the second half, there was a fall in both product sales volume and prices as a result of the slump in the
petrochemicals market triggered by the global economic downturn. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the weighted average prices (excluding tax) of our synthetic fibres as well as resins and plastics decreased by 10.15% and 1.05%,
respectively, from their levels in the previous year; the weighted average prices (excluding tax) of intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products increased by 0.14% and 20.65% respectively, from their levels in the previous year.

(i) Synthetic fibres

The net sales of synthetic fibre products decreased to RMB3,662.0 million in 2008, representing a 15.40% decrease compared to RMB4,328.7
million in 2007. The weighted average price of synthetic fibres decreased by 10.15% as compared to 2007, and the profit margin of synthetic fibre products was substantially reduced as raw material costs of synthetic fibres remained at high levels.
As such, sales volume of our synthetic fibres in 2008 decreased by 5.95% as compared to 2007 because the sales volumes of major synthetic fibre products decreased by varying extent in 2008.

Net sales of synthetic fibre products accounted for 6.20% of our total net sales in 2008, representing a decrease of 1.70 percentage
points as compared to 2007.

(ii) Resins and plastics

The net sales of resins and plastics decreased to RMB14,850.3 million in 2008, representing a decrease of 6.48% compared to RMB15,878.8
million in 2007. Weighted average price of resins and plastics in 2008 decreased by 1.05% compared to 2007 and sales volume in 2008 decreased by 5.58% compared to 2007. Among our resins and plastics products, the sales volume of polyester chips for
2008 decreased by 11.14% and the average sales price decreased by 9.21%. The sales volumes of polyethylene and polypropylene for 2008 also decreased as compared to 2007.

Net sales of resins and plastics accounted for 25.00% of our total net sales in 2008, representing a decrease of 4.30 percentage points
as compared to 2007.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

The net sales of intermediate petrochemicals increased to RMB10,271.8 million in 2008, representing an increase of 9.59% compared to
RMB9,372.7 million in 2007, with the weighted average price of intermediate petrochemicals increasing by 0.14% compared to 2007 and sales volume increasing by 9.31% as compared to 2007. Among our intermediate petrochemicals, the weighted average
prices of ethylene, butadiene and ethylene oxide increased slightly compared to 2007.

2008, basically at par with 2007.

(iv) Petroleum products

The net sales of petroleum products increased to RMB27,552.9 million in 2008, representing an increase of 30.98% compared to RMB21,036.6
million in 2007, with an increase of 20.65% in the weighted average price as compared to 2007. The weighted average prices of gasoline and diesel oil increased by 20.68% and 19.70%, respectively as compared to 2007. Due to the price limits set by
the Chinese government, the petroleum products segment reported a negative profit margin, while we increased sales volume of gasoline and diesel by 18% as compared to 2007 in compliance with government policies.

The net sales of petroleum products accounted for 46.40% of our total net sales in 2008, representing an increase of 7.6 percentage
points as compared to 2007.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized a grant income of RMB2,312.2 million
(2007: RMB93.9 million; 2006: RMB282.1 million). These grants were for compensation of losses incurred due to the distortion of the correlation of domestic refined petroleum product prices and the crude oil prices, and the measures taken by us to
stabilize the supply in the PRC refined petroleum product market during the respective years. There are no unfilled conditions and other contingencies attached to the receipts of these grants. There is no assurance that we will continue to receive
such grant in the future.

(v) Other activities

Revenues from other activities decreased to RMB2,992.8 million in 2008, representing a decrease of 17.73% compared to RMB3,637.9 million
in 2007. Such decrease in revenues was mainly attributed to a decrease in the trading volume of petrochemical products.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are comprised of cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses, other operating expenses and other operating
income.

Our operating expenses increased by 29.90% to RMB69,459.3 million in 2008 compared to RMB53,455.9 million in 2007.
The operating expenses of synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals, and petroleum products amounted to RMB5,313.5 million, RMB17,027.0 million, RMB10,314.5 million and RMB33,811.0 million, respectively, representing
increases of 20.47%, 11.86%, 20.51% and 55.28%, respectively, as compared to 2007. The operating expenses of other activities amounted to RMB2,993.3 million, representing a decrease of 14.21% as compared to 2007.

(i) Synthetic fibres

The operating expenses of synthetic fibres increased by RMB902.7 million compared to 2007, primarily due to an increase in the unit price
of raw materials (such as ethylene) for producing synthetic fibres. For example, the price of ethylene increased from RMB 8,785.0 per ton in 2007 to RMB9,496.2 per ton in 2008.

(ii) Resins and plastics

The operating expenses of resins and plastics increased by RMB1,804.7 million as compared to 2007, primarily due to increased unit costs
for raw materials such as ethylene.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

The operating expenses of intermediate petrochemicals increased by RMB1,755.6 million compared to 2007, which was mainly attributable to
increase in sales of ethylene glycol, and the corresponding increases in costs and expenses of intermediate petrochemicals ultimately resulting from the increase in average unit cost of crude oil from RMB3,865.85 per ton in 2007 to RMB5,303.68 per
ton during the year.

(iv) Petroleum products

The operating expenses of petroleum products increased by RMB12,036.3 million compared to 2007, primarily due to the increase in crude oil
prices (which is our major production raw material) which directly led to a significant increase in the operating expenses of petroleum products.

(v) Other activities

The operating expenses of other activities decreased by RMB495.9 million compared to 2007, which was primarily attributable to reduced
business volume.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased to RMB68,556.4 million in 2008, representing an increase of 30.22% compared to RMB52,646.5 million in 2007,
primarily due to significant increase in crude oil prices in 2008, which was our major raw material, and an increase in the purchase of other raw materials. Cost of sales accounted for 115.60% of the net sales for 2008.

(i) Crude Oil

In 2008, we processed 9,238,300 tons of crude oil ( no imported crude oil was processed on a sub-contracting basis during the year),
representing an increase of 299,900 tons compared to 8,938,400 tons in 2007 (of which 25,400 tons imported crude oil were processed on a sub-contracting basis). The volumes of imported crude oil and offshore crude oil processed by us were 8,739,000
tons and 499,300 tons, respectively.

The total cost of crude oil processed by us in 2008 amounted to RMB48,997.0 million,
representing an increase of 42.20% compared to RMB34,456.3 million in 2007 and accounting for 71.47% of the total cost of sales. The weighted average cost of crude oil for us was RMB5,303.68 per ton, representing a significant increase of 37.19% as
compared to 2007. The weighted averaged cost of imported crude oil and offshore crude oil were RMB5,339.95 per ton and RMB4,668.86 per ton, respectively.

(ii) Other expenses

The expenses for other ancillary materials were RMB9,978.8 million in 2008, representing an immaterial decrease of 0.44% compared to
RMB10,022.5 million in 2007.

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses amounted to RMB468.0 million, representing a decrease of 7.27% compared to RMB504.7 million in 2007
primarily due to a decrease in the our sales agency fees for sales operations during the reporting period.

Other
operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased from RMB521.3 million in 2007 to RMB580.0 million in 2008,
representing an increase of 11.26%, primarily due to an increase of RMB240.7 million in our provision made for impairments of fixed assets in 2008 as compared to 2007. On the other hand, our employee reduction expenses during the reporting period
decreased by RMB118.2 million as compared to 2007, and the loss on disposal of non-current assets decreased by RMB47.3 million as compared to 2007.

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to RMB145.2 million in 2008, a decrease of 32.96% compared to RMB216.6 million in 2007, which was
primarily due to a decrease in income from the disposal of unlisted investments during the reporting period.

Income/
(loss) from operations

We incurred an operating loss of RMB7,817.3 million in 2008, compared to an operating profit of
RMB892.7 million in 2007. Two factors primarily contributed to the operating loss in 2008. We incurred losses in our petroleum products business in the first half of 2008 as a result of the substantial rise in world oil price and the government
restriction on refined petroleum product prices. Then in the second half of 2008 the global economic downturn had a significant adverse impact on the petrochemicals market, and our operating results suffered as a result.

Net financing costs

Our net financing costs were RMB330.4 million in 2008, representing an increase of 85.72% compared to RMB177.9 million in 2007, which
consisted primarily of an increase of RMB297.8 million in our interest expense due to an increase of RMB5,280.8 million in our short-term borrowings. In addition, there was an increase of RMB145.3 million in our financial income as compared to 2007,
which was mainly due to the increase of net gain in the fair value of derivative financial instruments amounting to RMB97.6 million and net foreign exchange gain amounting to RMB34.6 million.

##### Table of Contents

Investment income

Our investment income was RMB131.8 million in 2008, mainly due to income from the disposal of marketable securities.

Share of profits of associates and jointly controlled entities

In 2008, our share of net profits from associates and jointly controlled entities was RMB1.5 million, a decrease of RMB664.4 million as
compared to 2007, primarily due to the operating losses suffered by the 20% held investee, Secco. Our share of profits in Secco was RMB587.9 million in 2007, however, we had a share of losses in Secco of RMB98.7 million in 2008. The results of
Seccos operations are discussed in Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewInvestments.

Income tax

We had an income tax credit benefit of RMB1,812.7 million in 2008, compared to an income tax expense of RMB468.3 million in 2007. The
income tax credit benefit in 2008 was primarily due to the fact that we recognized deferred income tax asset for tax losses generated in 2008 that we expect to be able to utilize to offset future taxable income. Based on the Companys financial
data of previous years and forecast of the future operating results, the management believes it is probable that the Company will have sufficient taxable profit available in the foreseeable future to utilize the tax losses.

Following the implementation of the newly revised Enterprise Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China with
effect from January 1, 2008, the income tax rate of the Company was adjusted to 25%.

Net Income/(loss)

We incurred a net loss of RMB6,201.7 million in 2008, compared to net income of RMB1,683.1 million in 2007.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We strive to always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when due, preparing for both normal and stressed conditions, without
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to our reputation. We prepare monthly cash flow budget to ensure that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our financial obligations as they become due. We arrange and negotiate financing
with financial institutions and maintain a certain level of standby credit facilities to reduce liquidity risk.

At
December 31, 2009, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by RMB5,243.5 million. In 2010, our liquidity will be primarily dependent on our ability to maintain adequate cash inflow from operations, the renewal of our short-term bank
loans and on our ability to obtain adequate external financing, including the issuance of short-term corporate bonds, to support our working capital and meet our debt obligations when they become due. At December 31, 2009, we had standby credit
facilities with several PRC financial institutions which allow us to borrow up to RMB9,100.0 million on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.34%. At December 31, 2009, our outstanding borrowings under these facilities
were RMB4,458.0 million and were included in short-term bank loans. We believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient for our present requirements.

Net cash inflows provided by operating activities

The net cash inflows from our operating activities amounted to RMB3,346.9 million in 2009, representing an increase of cash inflows of
RMB7,333.4 million compared to a net cash outflows of RMB3,986.5 million in 2008. Our net cash inflows from earnings before income tax (net of depreciation) in 2009 amounted to RMB3,815.3 million due to a significant decrease in the costs of the
crude oil during the reporting period, representing an increase of cash inflows of RMB10,197.8 million compared to the net cash outflows of RMB6,382.5 million in 2008. An increased inventories balance before provision at the end of 2009 led to an
increase in cash outflows of RMB2,449.7 million in 2009 (as compared to an increase in cash outflows of RMB38.9 million in 2008 due to an increased inventories balance at the end of 2008). Changes in the year-end balances of accounts payable, other
payable and notes payable led to a decrease in cash outflows of RMB994.0 million (as compared to an increase in cash outflows of RMB786.9 million in 2008 due to such changes). Decreases in the year-end balances of amounts of receivable, notes
receivable and advance payments led to an increase in cash inflows of RMB202.9 million in 2009 (as compared to an increase in cash inflows of RMB1,122.0 million in 2008 as a result of a decrease in such year-end balances).

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash outflow for investing activities increased from RMB707.5 million in 2008 to RMB2,175.4 million in 2009, mainly representing an
increase in capital expenditure and purchase of available-for-sale financial assets of RMB 700 million in 2009.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash from financing activities decreased from an inflow of RMB4,429.2 million in 2008 to an outflow of RMB1,673.3 million in 2009,
mainly representing an increase in repayment of loans and a decrease in proceeds from loans.

Borrowings

Our total borrowings at the end of 2009 amounted to RMB8,078.9 million, representing a decrease of RMB1,722.8million
as compared to that at the end of 2008. Short-term liabilities decreased by RMB1,598.0 million, and long-term liabilities decreased by RMB124.8 million.

We managed to maintain our liability-to-asset ratio at a safe level by enhancing controls over both liabilities (including borrowings)
and financing risks. We generally do not experience any seasonality in borrowings. Due to the nature of the capital expenditures plan, long-term bank loans can be arranged in advance of expenditures while short-term borrowings are used to meet
operational needs. The terms of our existing borrowings do not restrict our ability to pay dividends on our shares.

Liability-to-asset ratio (prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards)

Our liability-to-asset ratio was 48.85% as of December 31, 2009 (compared to 50.02% as of December 31, 2008). The ratio is
calculated using this formula: total liabilities/total assets.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We maintain a number of technology development units, including the Petrochemical Research Institute, the Plastics
Research Institute, the Polyester Fiber Research Institute, the Acrylic Fibre Research Institute and the Environmental Protection Research Institute. These units are charged with various research and development tasks with respect to new technology,
new products, new production processes and equipment and environmental protection. Our research and development expenditures in 2007, 2008 and 2009 were RMB53.5 million, RMB47.3 million and RMB40.3 million, respectively, representing approximately
0.1% of the total sales for those years.

We are not, in any material aspect, dependant on any patents, licenses, industrial,
commercial or financial contracts, or new production processes.

D. Trend Information

In 2010, we expect that the global economy will continue to recover slowly with a relatively low growth rate. However, the foundation of
this recovery remains weak and not yet stable. If conditions continue to improve in the global economic environment, the Chinese government continues its stable macro-economic policies, and the ongoing implementation of the Chinese governments
proactive fiscal policies and moderately relaxed monetary policies continues, we anticipate that the Chinese economy will maintain stable and relatively fast growth at a rate slightly higher than that in 2009.

##### Table of Contents

In 2010, we expect the demand for petroleum to increase as the world economy begins to
recover. The general level of international crude oil prices is anticipated to be higher than that in 2009 considering certain factors such as the overall capacity surplus, OPEC output policies, U.S. dollar trends, geopolitical risks, inflationary
pressures and climate change. The global petrochemical industry itself should continue to encounter sluggish growth in 2010. As newly added production capacity is being gradually released, excess global capacity will likely persist with low rates of
operation. However, the overall situation should be better than that experienced in 2009. With continued steady and relatively rapid economic development in China, the domestic petroleum and petrochemical industry should generally recover despite
the presence of many difficult conditions. On the one hand, the overall macroeconomic situation in China remains positive and the policies for boosting domestic macro-economic demand and stabilizing overseas demand are gradually becoming more
effective, which will stimulate continued growth in market demand for domestic petroleum and petrochemical products. On the other hand, we expect international crude oil prices to continue to trend upward. In addition, newly added production
capacity for global oil refining and ethylene may be released at the same time, in which case overcapacity will become more acute. Competition should escalate as a whole, in particular from multinationals operating in the China market, and could
lead to an influx of a large amount of imported products. We also expect international trade protectionism to intensify and be made worse by increasing foreign trade conflicts. Finally, constraints due to limited resources and carbon emissions
reduction and other environmental protection measures may also hinder economic growth.

E. Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2009, we had no contingent liabilities in respect of guarantees issued to banks in favor of our
associated companies and other unlisted investments, while such contingent liabilities as of December 31, 2008 were RMB25.7 million. Our guarantees issued to banks in favor of associated companies and other unlisted investments are limited to
the respective share in equity interest held by us. Please refer to Note 27(b) to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 17. Financial Statements for more detailed information on our guarantees and commitments.

F. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The following table sets forth our obligations to make future payments under contracts effective as of December 31, 2009.

Supervisory Committee

The Supervisory Committee is responsible for ensuring that our directors and senior officers act in the interests of our company or those
of our shareholders or employees and that they do not abuse their positions and powers. The Supervisory Committee has no power to overturn the decisions or actions of our directors or officers and may only recommend that they correct any acts that
are harmful to our interests or the interests of our shareholders or employees. The Supervisory Committee is currently composed of seven members appointed for a three year term. The term of the current members will expire in June 2011. Supervisory
Committee members have the right to attend meetings of our board of directors, inspect our financial affairs and perform other supervisory functions.

Audit Committee

Pursuant to Paragraph 14 of the Code of Best Practices set out in Appendix 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The
Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd, we formed an audit committee on June 15, 1999 which consists of three directors. The current members are Chen Xinyuan, Zhou Yunnong and Sun Chiping according to the Resolutions of the First Meeting of the Sixth

D. Employees.

As of December 31, 2009, we had 17,131 employees.

The following table shows the approximate number of employees we had at the end of our last three years by the principal business
function they performed:



|                                             |  |              |  |        |  |       
|-------------------------------------------- |  | ------------ |  | ------ |  | ------
|                                             |  | December 31,
|                                             |  | 2007         |  | 2008   |  | 2009  
|Management                                   |  | 1,533        |  | 1,355  |  | 1,354 
|                                             |  |              | 
|Engineers, technicians and factory personnel |  | 11,067       |  | 9,795  |  | 9,396 
|Accounting, marketing and other              |  | 6,652        |  | 6,447  |  | 6,381 
|                                             |  |              |  |        |  |       
|Total                                        |  | 19,252       |  | 17,597 |  | 17,131
|                                             |  |              |  |        |  |       

Approximately 34.96 % of our work force are
graduates with an associate degree or higher. In addition, we offer our employees opportunities for education and training based upon our development and the individual performance of each employee.

A system of labor contracts has been adopted in our company. The contract system imposes discipline, provides incentives to adopt better
work habits and gives us greater management control over our work force. We believe that by linking remuneration to productivity, the contract system has also improved employee morale. As of December 31, 2009, almost all of the work force was
employed pursuant to labor contracts which specify the employees position, responsibilities, remuneration and grounds for termination. The contracts generally have short terms of one to five years and may be renewed with the agreement of both
parties. The remaining personnel are employed for an indefinite term.

We have a trade union that protects employees
rights, aims to assist in the fulfillment of our economic objectives, encourages employee participation in management decisions and assists in mediating disputes between us and union members. We have not been subject to any strikes or other labor
disturbances which have interfered with our operations, and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Total
remuneration of our employees includes salary and bonuses. Employees also receive certain benefits in terms of housing, education and health services that we subsidize, and other miscellaneous subsidies. In 2009, we paid RMB1,233.7 million in
employment costs.

In compliance with Shanghai regulations, we and our employees participate in a defined contribution
government pension scheme under which all employees upon retirement are entitled to receive pensions. Pursuant to government regulations, we established a supplementary defined contribution retirement scheme for all employees in 1995. This scheme
provides for a supplementary pension funded by voluntary payments by employees that are matched by payments we make. Each years level of matching payments is based upon our profitability and the employees performance and attitude. The
supplementary pension is intended to provide a further incentive to employees. The company has 13,054 retired employees under the above retirement insurance plans.

We do not carry workers compensation or other similar insurance. However, all employees (both contract and non-contract employees)
who are unable to work due to illness or disability, whether or not such illness or disability is job-related, will continue, based on seniority, to receive most or all of their base salary and certain subsidies (but not bonuses) throughout the
period of their absence, subject to certain time limitations. Employees who are unable to work due to job-related illnesses or disabilities will receive certain additional compensation from us. The compensation varies depending on the severity of
the illness or disability. Structural changes being implemented by the Chinese and Shanghai governments and our own implementation of joint stock limited company accounting and financial principles may result in certain adjustments of the funding,
management and payment methods for these types of workers compensation arrangements over time.

B. Related Party Transactions.

Intercompany service agreements and business-related dealings

During 2009, pursuant to the Mutual Product Supply and Sales Service Framework Agreement entered into by the Company and Sinopec Corp, we
purchased raw materials from, and sell petroleum products and petrochemicals as well as lease properties to, Sinopec Corp and its associates, and Sinopec Corp and its associates act as sales agents for our petrochemical products. Under the
Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company and Sinopec Group, we accept construction and installation, engineering design, insurance agency and financial services relating to the petrochemical industry provided by Sinopec
Corp and its associates. The relevant connected transactions were conducted in accordance with the terms of the Mutual Product Supply and Sales Services Framework Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Framework Agreements. The transaction amounts
of the relevant connected transactions did not exceed the caps in relation to the continuing connected transactions approved at the 2007 Extraordinary General Meeting.

The purchases by us of crude oil and related materials from, and sales of petroleum products by us to, Sinopec Corp and its associates
were conducted in accordance with the States relevant policy and applicable State tariffs or State guidance prices. As long as the State does not lift its control over purchases of crude oil, sales of petroleum products and pricing thereof,
such connected transactions will continue to occur. We sell petrochemicals to Sinopec Corp and its associates and Sinopec Corp and its associates act as agents for the sale of petrochemicals in order to reduce our inventories, expand their trading,
distribution and sales networks and improve our bargaining power with our customers. We lease part of the properties to Sinopec Corp and its associates in consideration of their good financial background and credit standing. We accept construction
and installation, engineering design, insurance agency and financial services relating to the petrochemical industry from Sinopec Group and its associates in order to secure steady and reliable services at reasonable prices.

The prices of the continuing connected transactions conducted between the Company and Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp and its associates are
determined by the parties involved after consultation pursuant to (1) the fixed price of the state; or (2) the guiding price of the state; or (3) market prices, and the conclusion of agreements for the connected transactions are in
compliance with the needs of the Companys production and operation. Therefore the above continuing connected transactions do not cause a material impact on the Companys independence.

Other related party transactions

We transferred to Sinopec Corp. a 81.97% equity interest owned by our wholly owned subsidiary Shanghai Petrochemical Investment
Development Company Limited in Shanghai Jin Hua Industrial Company Limited for a consideration of RMB61,600,400. The relevant transfer agreement was entered into on February 8, 2006. The transaction generated a gain of RMB24,307,946 in 2006.
The pricing principle was determined on the basis of a valuation report prepared by a qualified asset valuation company independent of the Company and Sinopec Corp. and upon arms length negotiations between the parties. On the asset disposal
date, the book value of the assets was RMB37,292,454, while the appraised value of the assets was RMB53,600,422 as at March 31, 2005.

We entered into equity transfer agreements with Sinopec Finance Co., Ltd to transfer our respective equity interests in China Everbright
Bank and Bank of Shanghai to Sinopec Finance Co., Ltd. The considerations for the China Everbright Bank transfer and Bank of Shanghai transfer were RMB66,993,800 and RMB14,729,600, respectively. The relevant transfer agreements were entered into on
December 7, 2006. As at the asset appraisal date, the book value of the equity interests held by the respective parties in China Everbright Bank and Bank of Shanghai totaled RMB55,449,641. The increase in the fair value of those equity
interests of RMB26,228,500 as a result of the above transaction was recognized in the reserve, net of deferred tax, in 2006. The transaction prices were determined by way of a bidding process on the China Beijing Equity Exchange. The transfer of
equity interest in China Everbright Bank was completed in April 2007. The transfer of equity interest in Bank of Shanghai was completed in July 2007.

We signed an agreement on December 30, 2005 to transfer our 2% equity interest in Sinopec Finance Co., Ltd. to Sinopec Corp for a

We paid an amount of RMB164,763,000 to Sinopec Corp and its subsidiary which consisted of equipment pre-payments and progress payments
for the 380,000 tons per year glycol project and the long-cycle facility of the 3,300,000 tons per year diesel hydrogenization project. Both facilities were delivered in the first half of the year in 2006.

We own a 20% interest in Secco, while BP and Sinopec Corp own 50% and 30% interests in Secco, respectively. Secco was established to build and operate a 900,000 ton Rated Capacity ethylene petrochemical manufacturing facility to manufacture and
market ethylene, polyethylene, styrene, polystyrene, propylene, acrylonitrile, polypropylene, butadiene, aromatics and by-products; provide related after-sales services and technical advice with respect to such petrochemical products and by
products; and engage in polymers application development. Secco completed construction in 2005. Seccos total registered capital is US$901,440,964, of which we provided the Renminbi equivalent of US$180,287,952.

HKSE connected transactions rules

We are required by HKSE listing rules to obtain advance shareholder approval for certain transactions with related parties such as Sinopec
Group, Sinopec Corp, or its associates. We comply with such HKSE listing rules by obtaining advance shareholder approval at least every three years for the renewal of our framework agreements (e.g. the Mutual Product Supply and Sales Services
Framework Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement) with Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp for setting maximum aggregated annual values spent on the supply of products and services under these agreements. The independent
non-executive directors will need to confirm each year, upon reviewing our continuing connected transaction, that these transactions are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of our business, on normal commercial terms and in accordance with
the terms of these agreements.

##### Table of Contents

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The following is a summary based upon provisions of our Articles of Association as currently in effect, the Company Law of the
Peoples Republic of China (1993) and other selected laws and regulations applicable to us. You should refer to the text of the Articles of Association and to the texts of applicable laws and regulations for further information.

We are a joint stock limited company established in accordance with the Company Law and certain other laws and regulations of
the PRC. We are registered with the Shanghai Administration of Industry and Commerce with business license number 310000000021453. Our Articles of Association provide, at article 12, that our purpose is:



| |  |  | to build and operate a diversified industrial company which will be one of the worlds leading petrochemical companies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to promote the development of the petrochemical industry in China through the production of a broad variety of outstanding products; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to practice advanced, scientific management and apply flexible business principles, and to develop overseas markets for our products so that we and our
shareholders receive reasonable economic benefits.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our scope of business is limited to matters approved by
Chinese authorities. Article 13 provides that our primary business scope includes:



| |  |  | refining crude oil, a wide range of petroleum products, petrochemical products, basic organic chemicals, synthetic fibers and monomers, plastic
products, polyester fibers and yarns, raw materials for knitting and textile products and finished products; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | production and operation of industrial fuels, production and operation of other by-products and refining and processing of platinum metals.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our secondary scope of operation includes: electricity generation, supply of heat, supply of liquefied
petroleum gas, water treatment, railways, ocean and inland water transport, warehousing, real estate, technical consultation, import and export, research and all other activities incidental and consistent with our primary and secondary operation and
business scope. We may adjust these subject to approval by governmental authorities.

The following discussion primarily
concerns our shares and the rights of our shareholders. Holders of our ADSs will not be treated as our shareholders and will be required to surrender their ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal from the depositary facility in which the H shares are
held in order to exercise shareholder rights in respect of H shares.

Domestic shares and overseas-listed foreign invested H
shares are both ordinary shares in our share capital. Domestic shares are shares we issue to domestic Chinese investors for subscription in Renminbi, while H shares are shares we issue for subscription in other currencies to investors from Hong
Kong, Macau, Taiwan and outside of China.

Sources of Shareholders Rights

Chinas legal system is based on written statutes and is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedent value.
Chinas legal system is similar to civil law systems in this regard. In 1979, China began the process of developing its legal system by undertaking to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws. In December 1993, the Standing Committee of the
8th National Peoples Congress adopted the Chinese Company Law. Although the Chinese Company Law is expected to serve as the core of a body of regulatory measures, which will impose a uniform standard of corporate behavior on companies and
their directors and shareholders, only a limited portion of this body of regulatory measures has so far been promulgated.

Currently, the primary sources of shareholder rights are the Articles of Association, the Chinese Company Law and the HKSE listing rules,
which, among other things, impose standards of conduct, fairness and disclosure on us, our directors and our controlling shareholder. To facilitate the offering and listing of shares of Chinese companies overseas, and to regulate the behavior of
companies whose shares are listed overseas, the State Council Securities Committee and the State Commission for Restructuring the Economic System issued the Mandatory Provisions for articles of association of Companies Listing Overseas on
August 27, 1994. These provisions have been incorporated into our Articles of Association and any amendment to those provisions will only become effective after approval by the companies approval department of local government authorized by the
State Economic and Trade Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

In addition, upon the listing of and for
so long as the H shares are listed on the HKSE, we will be subject to those relevant ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on the HKSE, the Securities and Futures Ordinance and the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share
Repurchases.

##### Table of Contents

Unless otherwise specified, all rights, obligations and protections discussed below derive
from our Articles of Association and/or the Chinese Company Law.

Enforceability of Shareholders Rights

There has not been any public disclosure in relation to the enforcement by holders of H shares of their rights under the
charter documents of joint stock limited companies or the Chinese Company Law or in the application or interpretation of the Chinese or Hong Kong regulatory provisions applicable to Chinese joint stock limited companies.

In most states of the United States, shareholders may sue a corporation derivatively. A derivative suit involves the
commencement by a shareholder of a corporate cause of action against persons who have allegedly wronged the corporation, where the corporation itself has failed to enforce the claims directly. This would include suits against corporate officers,
directors, or controlling shareholders. This type of action is brought based upon a primary right of the corporation, but is asserted by a shareholder on behalf of the corporation. Because the right to sue derivatively is not available under Chinese
law, our shareholders may have to rely on other means to enforce the rights of shareholders, such as through administrative proceedings.

Our Articles of Association provide that all differences or claims



| |  |  | between a holder of H shares and us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | between a holder of H shares and any of our directors, supervisors, manager or other senior officers; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | between a holder of H shares and a holder of domestic shares,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

involving any right or obligation provided in the Articles of Association, the Chinese Company Law or any other relevant law or
administrative regulation which concerns our affairs must, with certain exceptions, be referred to arbitration at either the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in China or the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center.
Our Articles of Association also provide that the arbitration will be final and conclusive. On June 21, 1999, an arrangement was made between Hong Kong and China for the summary mutual enforcement of each others arbitration awards in a
manner consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards and practices that occurred before the handover of Hong Kong to China. This arrangement was approved by the Supreme Court of China and
the Hong Kong Legislative Council, and became effective on February 1, 2000.

All of our directors and officers reside
outside the United States (principally in China) and substantially all of our assets and of those persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, you may not be able to effect service of process within the United States against any of
those persons. In addition, China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts within the United States or most other countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development. This means that administrative actions brought by regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other actions which result in foreign court judgments could only be enforced in China if the judgments or
rulings do not violate the basic principles of the law of China or the sovereignty, security and social public interest of the society of China, as determined by a Peoples Court of China which has jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement
of judgments. We have been advised by our Chinese counsel, Haiwen & Partners, that there is doubt as to the enforceability in China of any actions to enforce judgments of United States courts arising out of or based on the ownership of our
H shares or ADSs, including judgments arising out of or based on the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws.

Restrictions on Transferability and the Share Register

All fully paid up H shares will be freely transferable in accordance with the Articles of Association unless otherwise prescribed by law
and/or administrative regulations. Under current laws and regulations, H shares may be traded only among investors who are not Chinese persons, and may not be sold to Chinese investors. Consequences under Chinese law of a purported transfer of H
shares to Chinese investors are unclear.

##### Table of Contents

As provided in our Articles of Association, we may refuse to register a transfer of H shares
without providing any reason unless:



| |  |  | all relevant transfer fees and stamp duties are paid;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the instrument of transfer is accompanied by the share certificates to which it relates and any other evidence reasonably required by our board to
prove the transferors right to make the transfer;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | there are no more than four joint holders as transferees; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the H shares are free from any lien of ours.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

Additionally, no transfers of shares may be registered within the 30 days prior to a shareholders general meeting or within five
days before we decide on the distribution of dividends.

We are required to keep a register of our shareholders which shall be
comprised of various parts, including one part which is to be maintained in Hong Kong in relation to H shares listed on the HKSE. Shareholders have the right to inspect the share register. For a reasonable fee, shareholders may copy any part of the
share register, obtain background information regarding our directors, supervisors, manager and other senior officers, minutes of shareholder general meetings and reports regarding our share capital and any share repurchases in the prior year.

Dividends

Our Articles of Association require the Company to distribute dividends annually in the second quarter of the year following that in
which the Company made the profits from which the dividend is paid. The Articles of Association allow for distribution of dividends in the form of cash or shares. A distribution of shares, however, must be approved by special resolution of the
shareholders.

Dividends may only be distributed, however, after allowance has been made for:



| |  |  | recovery of losses, if any;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | allocations to the statutory common reserve fund;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment of dividends on any preference shares we issue in the future; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allocations to a discretionary common reserve fund.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

The Articles of Association require us to appoint on behalf of the holders of H shares a receiving agent which is registered as a trust
corporation under the Trustee Ordinance of Hong Kong to receive dividends we declare in respect of the H shares on behalf of the H shareholders. The Articles of Association require that cash dividends and other distributions in respect of H shares
be declared in Renminbi and paid by us in Hong Kong dollars while cash dividends and other distributions of the domestic shares shall be paid in Renminbi.

If we record no profit for the year, we may not normally distribute dividends for the year.

Dividend payments may be subject to Chinese withholding tax. See Item 10. Additional Information  Taxation.

Voting Rights and Shareholders Meetings

Our board of directors must convene a shareholders annual general meeting once every year within six months from the end of the
preceding financial year. Our board must convene an extraordinary general meeting within two months of the occurrence of any one of the following events:



| |  |  | where the number of directors is less than 10 or two-thirds of the number specified in our Articles of Association;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if the number of directors is less than five, the number stipulated in the Chinese Company Law;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | where our unrecovered losses reach one-third of the total amount of our share capital;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | where shareholder(s) holding 10% or more of our issued and outstanding voting shares request(s) in writing; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | whenever our board deems necessary or our Supervisory Committee so requests.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



61

##### Table of Contents

Meetings of a special class of shareholders must be called in specified situations when the
rights of the holders of that class of shares may be varied or abrogated, as discussed below. Resolutions proposed by our Supervisory Committee or shareholder(s) holding 5% or more of the total number of voting shares shall be included in the agenda
for the relevant annual general meeting if they are matters which fall within the scope of the functions and powers of shareholders in general meeting.

All shareholders meetings must be convened by our board by notice given to shareholders by personal service, mail or announcement
in the newspaper not less than 45 days before the meeting. Based on the written replies we receive 20 days before a shareholders meeting, we will calculate the number of voting shares represented by shareholders who have indicated that they
intend to attend the meeting. We can convene the shareholders general meeting if the number of voting shares represented by those shareholders is more than one-half of our total voting shares, regardless of the number of shareholders who
actually attend the meeting. Otherwise, we shall, within five days, inform the shareholders again of the motions to be considered and the date and venue of the meeting by way of public announcement. After the announcement is made, the
shareholders meeting may be convened. Our accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, a shareholder will not invalidate the proceedings at that shareholders meeting. However, an
extraordinary shareholders meeting cannot conduct any business not contained in the notice of meeting.

Shareholders at
meetings have the power, among other things, to decide on our operational policies and investment plans, to approve or reject our proposed annual budget, approve or reject our profit distribution plans, an increase or decrease in share capital, the
issuance of debentures, our merger or liquidation and any amendment to our Articles of Association. Shareholders also have the right to review any proposals by a shareholder owning 5% or more of our shares. In general, holders of H shares and
domestic shares vote together as a single class at all meetings and on all matters. However, the rights of a class of shareholders may not be varied or abrogated, unless approved by both a special resolution of all shareholders at a general
shareholders meeting and by a special resolution of shareholders of that class of shares at a separate meeting. Our Articles of Association specify, without limitation, that the following amendments would be deemed to be a variation or
abrogation of the rights of a class of shareholders:



| |  |  | increasing or decreasing the number of shares of a class or of a class having voting or distribution rights or privileges equal or superior to that
class;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | removing or reducing rights to receive dividends in a particular currency;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | creating shares with voting or distribution rights superior to shares of that class;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restricting or adding restrictions to the transfer of ownership of shares of that class;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allotting and issuing rights to subscribe for, or to convert into, shares of that class or another class;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing the rights or privileges of any other class; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | modifying the provision of our Articles of Association that specifies which amendments would be deemed a variation or abrogation of the rights of a
class of shareholder.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For votes on any of these matters, or any other matter that would vary or abrogate
the rights of the domestic shares or H shares, the holders of domestic shares and H shares are deemed to be separate classes and vote separately. However, Interested Shareholders are not entitled to vote at class meetings. The meaning of
Interested Shareholder depends on the proposal to be voted on at the class meeting:



| |  |  | If the proposal is for us to repurchase our shares either from all shareholders proportionately or by purchasing share on a stock exchange, an
Interested Shareholder is our controlling shareholder;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If the proposal is for us to repurchase our shares from a shareholder by a private contract, an Interested Shareholder is the shareholder
whose shares would be repurchased;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If the proposal is for our restructuring, an Interested Shareholder is any shareholder that has an interest in the restructuring different
from the other shareholders of the class or who bears a burden under the proposed restructuring that is less than proportionate to his shareholdings of the class.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Articles of Association specifically provide that an issue of up to 20% of domestic and H shares would not be a variation or
abrogation of the rights of domestic shareholders or H shareholders, therefore, separate approval of the domestic shareholders or H Shareholders would not be required.

Each share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders at all shareholders meetings, except for
meetings of a special class of shareholders where only holders of shares of the affected class are entitled to vote on the basis of one vote per share of the affected class.

##### Table of Contents

Shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at meetings either in person or by proxy. Proxy
authorization forms must be in writing and deposited at our companys principal offices, or at such other place specified in the notice of shareholders meeting not less than 24 hours before the time that such meeting will be held or the time
appointed for passing upon the relevant resolutions. If a proxy authorization form is signed by a third party on behalf of the relevant shareholder, then such proxy authorization form must be accompanied by the signature authorization letter or
other such document authorizing such third party to sign on behalf of the shareholder.

Except for those actions discussed
below, which require supermajority votes, or special resolutions, resolutions of the shareholders are passed by a simple majority of the voting shares held by shareholders who are present in person or by proxy. Special resolutions must be passed by
more than two-thirds of the voting rights represented by shareholders who are present in person or by proxy.

The following
decisions must be adopted by special resolution:



| |  |  | an increase or reduction of our share capital or the issue of shares of any class, warrants and other similar securities;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the issue of our debentures;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | our division, merger, dissolution and liquidation;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | amendments to our Articles of Association;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant acquisition or disposal of material assets or provision of guarantees conducted within the period of one year with a value exceeding 30% of
our latest audited total assets;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | share incentive schemes; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | any other matters considered by the shareholders in a general meeting and which they have resolved by way of an ordinary resolution to be material and
should be adopted by special resolution.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All other actions taken by the shareholders, including the
appointment and removal of our directors and independent auditors and the declaration of normal dividend payments, will be decided by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders.

Our listing agreement with the HKSE provides that we may not permit amendments to certain sections of our Articles of Association that
are subject to the Mandatory Provisions. These sections include provisions relating to (i) varying the rights of existing classes of shares, (ii) voting rights, (iii) our ability to purchase our own shares, (iv) rights of
minority shareholders and (v) procedures on liquidation. In addition, certain amendments to the Articles of Association require the approval and assent of Chinese authorities.

Board of Directors

Our Articles of Association authorize up to 19 directors. Directors are elected by shareholders at a general meeting for a three year term
from among candidates nominated by the board of directors or by shareholders holding 5% or more of our shares. Because our directors do not serve staggered terms, the entire board of directors will stand for election, and could be replaced, every
three years. Our directors are not required to hold any shares in us, and there is no age limit requirement for the retirement or non- retirement of our directors.

In addition to obligations imposed by laws, administrative regulations or the listing rules of the stock exchanges on which our shares
are listed, the Articles of Association place on each of our directors, supervisors, manager and any other senior officers a duty to each shareholder, in the exercise of our functions and powers entrusted to them:



| |  |  | not to cause us to exceed the scope of business stipulated in our business license;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to act honestly in what he considers our best interests;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | not to expropriate our assets in any way, including (without limitation) usurpation of opportunities which may benefit us; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | not to expropriate the individual rights of shareholders, including (without limitation) rights to distributions and voting rights, except according to
a restructuring which has been submitted to the shareholders for their approval in accordance with the Articles of Association.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Our Articles of Association further place on each of our directors, supervisors, manager and
other senior officers:



| |  |  | a duty, in the exercise of their powers and discharge of their duties, to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would
exercise in comparable circumstances;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a fiduciary obligation, in the discharge of his duties, not to place himself or herself in a position where his or her interests may conflict with his
or her duty to us; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a duty not to cause a person or an organization related or connected to him or her in specified relationships to do what they are prohibited from
doing.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We pay all expenses that our directors incur for their services as directors. Directors also receive
compensation for their services under service contracts that are negotiated by the supervisory committee and approved by the shareholders.

Subject to the stipulations of relevant laws and regulations, the shareholders in a general meeting may by ordinary resolution remove any
director before the expiration of his term of office. Except for the restrictions placed on controlling shareholders, discussed below, our shareholders in general meeting have the power to relieve a director, supervisor, manager or senior officer
from liability for specific breaches of duty.

Cumulative voting is required for election of our directors as long as more
than 30% of our outstanding shares are held by a single shareholder. Cumulative voting allows shareholders to cast a number of votes for a candidate equal to the number of shares held multiplied by the number of directors being elected at the
shareholders meeting. If a shareholder attempts to cast more votes than he is entitled to under this system, all of the shareholders votes will be invalid and will be deemed an abstention.

More than one third of our directors of board must be independent from our shareholders and not hold any office with us (each,
Independent Director). At least one Independent Director must be an accounting professional and all Independent Directors must possess a basic knowledge of the operations of a listed company and be familiar with relevant laws and rules
and have at least five years working experience in law, economics or other area required for the fulfillment of responsibilities as an Independent Director. Independent Directors may not serve for terms exceeding six years. In addition, there are
specific persons who are disqualified from acting as Independent Director. These include:



| |  |  | immediate family members of persons who work for us or our associated entities;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons or their immediate family who hold one percent or more of our shares or are among our ten largest shareholders;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any persons that satisfied the foregoing conditions within the past one year;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons providing financial, legal, consultation or other services to us or our associated entities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons who already serve as Independent Director for five other listed companies; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | anyone designated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

If the resignation of an Independent Director would cause our Board of Directors to have less than one third Independent Directors, the
resignation will only become effective after a new Independent Director has been appointed.

Our Board will be required to
meet at least four times each year. Directors who miss two consecutive Board meetings without appointing an alternate director to attend on their behalf will be proposed for removal at the next shareholders meeting, provided that Independent
Directors may miss three consecutive meetings before being proposed for removal. Otherwise, Independent Directors cannot be removed without cause.

Directors may not vote on any matter in which he has a material interest, nor will he be counted for purposes of forming a quorum on such
a matter.

Board resolutions are passed by a simple majority of the Directors except for the following matters which require
the consent of more than two thirds of the Directors:



| |  |  | proposals for our financial policies;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | the increase or reduction of our registered capital;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the issue of securities of any kind and their listing;

addition, shareholders holding one percent or more of our shares have the right to nominate candidates for Independent Director or Independent Supervisor and shareholders holding five percent or more of our shares have the right to nominate other
candidates for Director or Supervisor. For Director candidates, the nominator and candidate will be responsible for providing truthful and complete information about the candidate for disclosure. Candidates for Independent Director must publicly
declare that there does not exist any relationship between himself and us that may influence his independent, objective judgment. The China Securities Regulatory Commission may veto any candidate for Independent Director.

Our Independent Directors must approve any connected transactions. Connected transactions are those defined by the HKSE and by Chinese
rules and regulations, but would generally include transactions with any of the following:

Our independent directors can also propose to the Board of Directors the appointment or removal of our auditors, the convening of a Board
meeting, independently appoint external auditors, solicit votes from shareholders and report circumstances directly to shareholders, Chinese securities regulatory authorities or other government departments. Two or more may request that the Board
convene an extraordinary meeting of shareholders.

Our Independent Directors will have to express their opinion on specified
matters to the Board or to the shareholders at a shareholders meeting, either by a single unanimous statement or individually. These matters are:



| |  |  | the nomination, removal and remuneration of directors or senior management;

| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other matter that they are required to opine on by applicable law or rules.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These opinions must be expressed as either, agree, qualified agreement, opposition or unable to form an opinion. All but agreement must
also be accompanied by a supporting explanation. If public disclosure of the matter is required, we must also disclose the opinions of our Independent Directors.

Any Independent Director may engage independent institutions to provide independent opinions as the basis of their decision. We must
arrange the engagement and bear any costs.

Supervisory Committee

The Supervisory Committee is responsible for supervising our directors and senior officers and preventing them from abusing their
positions and powers or infringing upon the rights and interests of our company or those of our shareholders and employees. The Supervisory Committee has no power over the decisions or actions of our directors or officers to correct any acts that
are harmful to our interests. The Supervisory Committee is currently composed of seven members appointed for a three year term. It has the right to:



| |  |  | attend the meetings of our board of directors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inspect our financial affairs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | supervise and evaluate the conduct of our directors, general manager and other senior officers in order to determine whether they violate any laws,

Our Supervisory Committee must include two employee representatives appointed by our employees. The remaining members are appointed by
the shareholders in a general meeting, provided that our directors, general manager and senior officers are not eligible to serve as supervisors. The Supervisory Committee must meet at least once a year. Decisions of the Supervisory Committee must
be made by a one-half vote. We will pay all reasonable expenses incurred by the Supervisory Committee in appointing professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants or auditors.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of our liquidation, payment of debts out of our remaining assets will be made in the order of priority prescribed by
applicable laws and regulations. After payment of debts, we will distribute the remaining property to shareholders according to the class and proportion of their shareholdings. For this purpose, the H shares will rank equally with the domestic
shares.

Obligation of Shareholders

Shareholders are not obligated to make any further contributions to our share capital other than as agreed by the subscriber of the
relevant shares on subscription. This provision means that holders of ADSs will also not be obligated to make further contributions to our share capital.

Duration

We are organized as a joint stock limited company of indefinite duration.

Increase in Share Capital

The Articles of Association require that approval by a resolution of the shareholders be obtained prior to issuing new shares. New issues
of shares must also be approved by the relevant Chinese authorities.

Reduction of Share Capital and Purchase by Us of Our
Shares

We may reduce our registered share capital only upon obtaining the approval of the shareholders and, when
applicable, relevant Chinese authorities. Repurchases may be made either by way of a general offer to all shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings, by purchasing our shares on a stock exchange or by an off-market contract with individual
shareholders.

Restrictions on Large or Controlling Shareholders

Our Articles of Association provide that, in addition to any obligation imposed by laws and administrative regulations or required by the
listing rules of the stock exchanges on which our shares are listed, a controlling shareholder cannot exercise voting rights in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the shareholders generally or of some part of the shareholders:



| |  |  | to relieve a director or supervisor from his or her duty to act honestly in our best interest;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to approve the expropriation by a director or supervisor (for his or her own benefit or for the benefit of another person) of our assets in any way,
including, without limitation, opportunities which may benefit us; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to approve the expropriation by a director or supervisor (for his or her own benefit or for the benefit of another person) of the individual rights of
other shareholders, including, without limitation, rights to distributions and voting rights (but not according to a restructuring of our company which has been submitted for approval by the shareholders in a general meeting in accordance with our
Articles of Association).

##### Table of Contents

A controlling shareholder, however, will not be precluded by our Articles of Association or
any laws and administrative regulations or the listing rules of the stock exchanges on which our shares are listed from voting on these matters.

A controlling shareholder is defined by our Articles of Association as any person who, acting alone or together with others:



| |  |  | has the power to elect more than one-half of the board of directors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | has the power to exercise, or to control the exercise of, 30% or more of our voting rights;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | holds 30% or more of our issued and outstanding shares; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | has de factocontrol of us in any other way.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

Minutes, Accounts and Annual Report

Our shareholders may inspect copies of the minutes of the shareholders general meetings during our business hours free of charge.
Shareholders are also entitled to receive copies of these minutes within seven days of receipt of the reasonable charges we may require.

Our fiscal year is the calendar year ending December 31. Each fiscal year, we must mail our financial report to shareholders not
less than 21 days before the date of the shareholders annual general meeting. These and any interim financial statements must be prepared in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and, for so long as H shares are listed on the HKSE, must
also be prepared in accordance with or reconciled to either Hong Kong accounting standards or international accounting standards. The financial statements must be approved by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders at the annual general meeting.

Independent auditors are appointed each year by the shareholders at the annual meeting.

C. Material Contracts.

We have not entered into any material contracts other than in the ordinary course of business and other than those described in
Item 4. Information on the Company or elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F.

D. Exchange
Controls.

Our Articles of Association require that cash dividends on our H Shares be declared in Renminbi and paid in
HK dollars. The Articles of Association further stipulate that such dividends must be converted to HK dollars at a rate equal to the average of the closing exchange rates for HK dollars as announced by the Chinese Foreign Exchange Trading Center for
the calendar week preceding the date on which the dividends are declared.

The Renminbi currently is not a freely convertible
currency. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), under supervision of the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) controls the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency. Although PRC governmental policies were
introduced in 1996 to reduce restrictions on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities,
requires the approval of SAFE and other relevant authorities. These limitations could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures.

On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the
Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. Since the adoption of this new policy, the value of the Renminbi has fluctuated daily within a narrow band, but overall has
appreciated against the US dollar. Nevertheless, the PRC government continues to receive significant international pressure to further liberalize its currency policy which could result in a further and more significant appreciation in the value of
the Renminbi against the US dollar.

While the impact of the foregoing developments is not entirely clear, it appears that the
trend in the Chinese governments foreign exchange policy is toward easier convertibility of the Renminbi.

The holders
of the ADSs will receive the HK dollar dividend payments in US dollars at conversion rates related to market rates and subject to fees as set forth in our Deposit Agreement with The Bank of New York, as Depositary. The HK dollar is currently linked
to and trades within a narrow band against the US dollar at a rate that does not deviate significantly from HK$7.80 = US$1.00. The Hong Kong government has stated its intention to maintain such link, although there can be no guarantee that such link
will be maintained.

E. Taxation

PRC Taxation

The following is a summary of those taxes, including withholding provisions, to which United States security holders are subject under
existing Chinese laws and regulations. The summary is subject to changes in Chinese law, including changes that could have retroactive effect. The summary does not take into account or discuss the tax laws of any country other than China, nor does
it take into account the individual circumstances of a security holder. This summary does not purport to be a complete technical analysis or an examination of all potential tax effects under such laws and regulations.

Tax on Dividends

For an Individual Investor

According to the Individual Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China, as amended on December 29, 2007 (the
Individual Income Tax Law) dividends paid by Chinese companies to foreign individuals are ordinarily subject to Chinese withholding tax at a flat rate of 20%.

However, pursuant to the Notice Concerning the Taxation of Gains on Transfer and Dividends from Shares (Equities) Received by Foreign
Investment Enterprises, Foreign Enterprises and Foreign Individuals (the Tax Notice), issued by the State Tax Bureau (now the State Administration of Taxation or SAT) on July 21, 1993, dividends paid by Chinese companies
to foreign individuals, with respect to their shares listed on an overseas stock exchange (Overseas Shares), such as H Shares (including H Shares represented by ADSs), or on domestically-listed foreign invested shares (B
Shares) are temporarily exempt from Chinese withholding tax. The Tax Notice remains in force and the relevant tax authority has thus far not collected withholding tax on dividends paid by Chinese companies, with respect to their Overseas
Shares and B Shares, to foreign individuals.

In the event that the Tax Notice is withdrawn, a 20% withholding tax may be
imposed in accordance with the Individual Income Tax Law, subject to reduction by an applicable income tax treaty.

For a
Corporation

According to the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China (Enterprise Income Tax
Law ) and its implementation rules, effective January 1, 2008, dividends by Chinese resident enterprises to non-resident enterprises are ordinarily subject to a Chinese withholding tax levied at a flat rate of 10%. For purposes of the
Enterprise Income Tax Law, a Chinese resident enterprise is an enterprise which is either (i) set up in China in accordance with PRC laws or (ii) set up in accordance with the laws of a foreign country (region) but whose actual
administrative headquarters is in China. For purposes of the Enterprise Income Tax Law, a non-resident enterprise is an enterprise which is set up in accordance with the laws of a foreign country (region) and whose actual administrative
headquarters is located outside China but which has either (i) set up a legal presence in China or (ii) has income originating from China despite not having formally set up a legal presence in China. The State Administration of Taxation
issued a Circular on Issues Relating to the Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Dividends Distributed by Resident Enterprises in China to Non-resident Enterprises Holding H-shares of the Enterprises (Guo Shui Han [2008]
No. 897)(Circular No. 897) on November 6, 2008, which further clarifies that Chinese resident enterprises should, in distributing dividends for 2008 or any year hereafter to non-resident enterprises holding H-shares of the
Chinese resident enterprise, withhold enterprise income tax for such dividends at a tax rate of 10%. After receiving dividends, non-resident enterprises holding H-shares of any Chinese resident enterprise can, on their own or through an agent, file
an application to the relevant taxation authorities for such dividends to be covered by any applicable tax treaty (or other arrangement). The relevant taxation authorities should, upon reviewing and verifying the application and supporting materials
to be correct, refund the difference between the tax levied and the tax payable calculated at a tax rate specified by the applicable tax treaty (or other arrangement).

Capital Gains Tax

According to the Individual Income Tax Law and its implementation regulation, the sales by foreign individuals of shares in Chinese
companies are ordinarily subject to Chinese withholding tax at a flat rate of 20%. However, according to the Tax Notice, gains realized upon the sale of overseas-listed shares issued by PRC companies by foreign individual investors are exempted from
tax on capital gains. In the event that the Tax Notice is revoked or becomes invalid in the future, a 20% Chinese withholding tax may be imposed on the sale by foreign individuals of shares in Chinese companies unless exempted or reduced pursuant to
an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions.



68



---

##### Table of Contents

In accordance with the new Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, capital
gains realized by foreign enterprises which are non-resident enterprises in China upon the sale of overseas-listed shares are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10% unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable
double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. The capital gains realized by resident enterprises, including enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose de facto management body is located in the PRC upon the
sales of overseas-listed shares are subject to the PRC enterprise income tax. Before the effectiveness of the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, gains realized by foreign enterprises that are holders of overseas-listed shares of a PRC company excluding
the shares held through their PRC domestic establishment or place of business were exempted from the withholding tax according to the Tax Notice. However, the effectiveness of such exemption granted by the Tax Notice becomes uncertain in light of
the provisions under the new Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules.

Tax Treaties

China has an income tax treaty with the United States that currently limits the rate of Chinese withholding tax to 10% for dividends paid
to individuals and corporations that qualify for treaty benefits. However, this treaty does not offer reduced tax rates for capital gains.

Stamp Tax

While no express exemption exists for the imposition of Chinese stamp tax on transfers of Overseas Shares pursuant to the Provisional
Regulations of the Peoples Republic of China Concerning Stamp Tax effective on July 1, 1989, we are not aware of any circumstance under which Chinese stamp tax has actually been imposed on the transfer of Overseas Shares.

Estate or Gift Tax

China does not currently impose any estate or gift tax.

U.S. Taxation

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of H Shares or ADSs. The
following discussion is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), regulations promulgated under the Code by the U.S. Treasury Department
(including proposed and temporary regulations), rulings, current administrative interpretations and official pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS), and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which
are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Such change could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences described below. No assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court
will not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below.

This discussion does not address state,
local, or foreign tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of H Shares or ADSs. (See PRC Taxation above).

This summary is for general information only and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a
particular holder in light of its investment or tax circumstances or to holders subject to special tax rules, such as: banks; financial institutions; insurance companies; dealers in stocks, securities, or currencies; traders in securities that elect
to use a mark-to- market method of accounting for their securities holdings; tax-exempt organizations; real estate investment trusts; regulated investment companies; qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, and other tax-deferred
accounts; expatriates of the United States; persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; persons holding H Shares or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, or other integrated transaction; persons who acquired H Shares or ADSs
pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation for services; persons actually or constructively holding 10% or more of our voting stock; and U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is other than
the U.S. dollar.

This discussion is not a comprehensive description of all of the U.S. federal tax consequences that may
be relevant with respect to the ownership and disposition of H Shares or ADSs. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor regarding your particular circumstances and the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to you of owning and disposing
of H Shares or ADSs, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, or foreign or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws.

##### Table of Contents

This summary is directed solely to persons who hold their H Shares or ADSs as capital assets
within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, which generally means as property held for investment. For purposes of this discussion, the term U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of H Shares or ADSs that is any of the following:



| |  |  | a citizen or resident of the United States or someone treated as a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust if a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trusts administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to
control all substantial decisions of the trust; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust in existence on August 20, 1996 that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The term Non-U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of H Shares or ADSs that is not a U.S.
Holder. As described in Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders below, the tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder may differ substantially from the tax consequences to a U.S. Holder.

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial
owner of H Shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of H Shares or ADSs that is a partnership and the
partners in such partnership should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of H Shares or ADSs.

ADSs

As
it relates to the ADSs, this discussion is based in part upon the representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

Generally, a holder of ADSs will be treated as the owner of the underlying H Shares represented by those ADSs for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if the holder exchanges ADSs for the underlying H Shares represented by those ADSs. The holders adjusted tax basis in the H Shares will be the same as the adjusted
tax basis of the ADSs surrendered in exchange therefor, and the holding period for the H Shares will include the holding period for the surrendered ADSs.

TAXATION OF U.S. HOLDERS

The discussion in Distributions on H Shares or ADSs and Dispositions of H Shares or ADSs below assumes that we
will not be treated as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For a discussion of the rules that apply if we are treated as a PFIC, see the discussion in Passive Foreign Investment
Company below.

Distributions on H Shares or ADSs

General. Subject to the discussion in Passive Foreign Investment Company below, if you actually or constructively
receive a distribution on H Shares or ADSs, you must include the distribution in gross income as a taxable dividend on the date of your (or in the case of ADSs, the depositarys) receipt of the distribution, but only to the extent of our
current or accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such amount must be included without reduction for any foreign taxes withheld. Dividends paid by us will not be eligible for the dividends received
deduction allowed to corporations with respect to dividends received from certain domestic corporations. Dividends paid by us may or may not be eligible for preferential rates applicable to qualified dividend income, as described below.

To the extent a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a non-taxable return
of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in the H Shares or ADSs, and thereafter as capital gain. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain may be applicable to non-corporate U.S. Holders.



70



---

##### Table of Contents

We do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax
principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be reported as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.

Qualified Dividend Income. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders (i.e., individuals, trusts, and estates), for
taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, dividends that are treated as qualified dividend income (QDI) are taxable at a maximum tax rate of 15%. Among other requirements, dividends generally will be treated as QDI if either
(i) our H Shares or ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or (ii) we are eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States which includes an information
exchange program and which is determined to be satisfactory by the U.S. Treasury. It is expected that our ADSs will be readily tradable as a result of being listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

In addition, for dividends to be treated as QDI, we must not be a PFIC (as discussed below) for either the taxable year in which the
dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year. We do not believe that we were a PFIC for the preceding taxable year or will be a PFIC for the current taxable year. However, please see the discussion under Passive Foreign Investment
Company below. Additionally, in order to qualify for QDI treatment, you generally must have held the H Shares or ADSs for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days prior to the ex-dividend date. However, your holding period
will be reduced for any period during which the risk of loss is diminished.

Moreover, a dividend will not be treated as QDI
to the extent you are under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. Since the QDI rules are complex, you should consult your own
tax advisor regarding the availability of the preferential tax rates for dividends paid on H Shares or ADSs.

Foreign
Currency Distributions.A dividend paid in foreign currency (e.g., Hong Kong dollars or Chinese Renminbi) must be included in your income as a U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate in effect on the date such dividend is received,
regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted to U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you generally will not recognize a foreign currency gain or loss. However, if you convert the foreign
currency to U.S. dollars on a later date, you must include in income any gain or loss resulting from any exchange rate fluctuations. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between (i) the U.S. dollar value of the amount you included
in income when the dividend was received and (ii) the amount that you receive on the conversion of the foreign currency to U.S. dollars. Such gain or loss will generally be ordinary income or loss and U.S. source for U.S. foreign tax credit
purposes.

In-Kind Distributions. Distributions to you of new H Shares or ADSs or rights to subscribe for new H Shares
or ADSs that are received as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our shareholders will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The adjusted tax basis of the new H Shares or ADSs or rights so received will be determined by allocating your
adjusted tax basis in the old H Shares or ADSs between the old H Shares or ADSs and the new H Shares or ADSs or rights received, based on their relative fair market values on the date of distribution. However, in the case of a distribution of rights
to subscribe for H Shares or ADSs, the adjusted tax basis of the new rights will be zero if the fair market value of the new rights is less than 15% of the fair market value of the old H Shares or ADSs on the date of distribution and you do not make
an election to determine the adjusted tax basis of the rights by allocation as described above. Your holding period for the new H Shares or ADSs or rights will generally include the holding period for the old H Shares or ADSs on which the
distribution was made.

Foreign Tax Credits.Subject to certain conditions and limitations, any foreign taxes paid on
or withheld from distributions from us and not refundable to you may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted from your taxable income. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to
all foreign taxes paid by you or withheld from you that year. As discussed above, no Chinese withholding tax currently is imposed on dividends to foreign individual holders of H Shares and ADSs, however non-resident enterprises holding H-shares or
ADSs of a Chinese resident enterprise are generally subject to a withholding tax on dividends at a tax rate of 10%.

Distributions will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The foreign tax credit limitation is
calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, distributions characterized as dividends distributed by us will generally constitute passive category income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders,
general category income. Special limitations may apply if a dividend is treated as QDI (as defined above).

Special rules may apply to individuals whose foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of qualified passive
income and whose creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year do not exceed $300 ($600 in the case of a joint return).

Since the rules governing foreign tax credits are complex, you should consult your own tax
advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in your particular circumstances.

The U.S. Treasury has expressed
concerns that parties to whom ADSs are pre-released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders of ADSs. Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the preferential tax rates
applicable to QDI, as defined above. Accordingly, the creditability of any foreign taxes and the availability of such preferential tax rates could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the U.S. Treasury or parties to whom ADSs are
pre-released.

Dispositions of H Shares or ADSs

Subject to the discussion in Passive Foreign Investment Company below, you generally will recognize taxable gain or loss
realized on the sale or other taxable disposition of H Shares or ADSs equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of (i) the amount realized on the disposition (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property
received), and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the H Shares or ADSs. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss.

If you have held the H Shares or ADSs for more than one year at the time of disposition, such capital gain or loss will be long- term
capital gain or loss. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain (currently, with a maximum rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011) will apply to non-corporate U.S. Holders. If you have held the H Shares or ADSs
for one year or less, such capital gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss taxable as ordinary income at your marginal income tax rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Generally, any gain or loss recognized will not give rise to foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences if you receive currency other than U.S.
dollars upon the disposition of H Shares or ADSs.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

We generally will be a PFIC under Section 1297 of the Code if, for a taxable year, either (a) 75% or more of our gross income
for such taxable year is passive income (the income test) or (b) 50% or more of the average percentage, generally determined by fair market value, of our assets during such taxable year either produce passive income or are held for
the production of passive income (the asset test). Passive income includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from
commodities transactions.

Certain look through rules apply for purposes of the income and asset tests described
above. If we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, we generally will be treated as if we (a) held directly a proportionate share of the other corporations assets, and
(b) received directly a proportionate share of the other corporations income. In addition, passive income does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by us from a related person
(as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to income of such related person that is not passive income.

Under the income and asset tests, whether or not we are a PFIC will be determined annually based upon the composition of our income and
the composition and valuation of our assets, all of which are subject to change. In determining that we are not a PFIC, we are relying on our projected revenues and projected capital expenditures. If our actual revenues and capital expenditures do
not match our projections, we may become a PFIC. For example, if we do not spend enough of the cash (a passive asset) we raise from any financing transactions we may undertake, the relative percentage of our passive assets will increase. In
addition, our determination is based on a current valuation of our assets. We believe our valuation approach is reasonable. However, it is possible that the IRS will challenge the valuation of our assets, which may result in our being a PFIC.

We do not believe that we are currently a PFIC. However, because the PFIC determination is highly fact intensive and made at
the end of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year or that the IRS will not challenge our determination concerning our PFIC status.

Default PFIC Rules under Section 1291 of the Code. If we are treated as a PFIC
with respect to a U.S. Holder, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the U.S. Holder of the ownership and disposition of H Shares or ADSs will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat us as a qualified electing fund
(QEF) under Section 1295 of the Code (a QEF Election) or a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a Mark-to-Market Election). A U.S. Holder owning H Shares or ADSs while we were or are a
PFIC that has not made either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a Non-Electing U.S. Holder.

If you are a Non-Electing U.S. Holder, you will be subject to the default tax rules of Section 1291 of the Code with respect to:



| |  |  | any excess distribution paid on H Shares or ADSs, which means the excess (if any) of the total distributions received by you during the
current taxable year over 125% of the average distributions received by you during the three preceding taxable years (or during the portion of your holding period for the H Shares or ADSs prior to the current taxable year, if shorter); and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition (including a pledge) of H Shares or ADSs.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under these default tax rules:



| |  |  | any excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the H Shares or ADSs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any period prior to the first day of the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC will be
treated as ordinary income in the current taxable year;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to each of the other years will be treated as ordinary income and taxed at the highest applicable tax rate in effect for that
year; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the resulting tax liability from any such prior years will be subject to the interest charge applicable to underpayments of tax.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, notwithstanding any election you may make, dividends that you receive from us will not be
eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to QDI (as discussed above in Distributions on H Shares or ADSs) if we are a PFIC either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, but will instead be
taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income.

Special rules for Non-Electing U.S. Holders will apply to determine U.S.
foreign tax credits with respect to foreign taxes imposed on distributions on H Shares or ADSs.

If we are a PFIC for any
taxable year during which you hold H Shares or ADSs, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to you for all succeeding years during which you hold H Shares or ADSs, regardless of whether we actually continue to be a PFIC. You may
terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the default tax rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if your H Shares or ADSs had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for
which we were a PFIC.

If we are treated as a PFIC in any year with respect to you, you will be required to file an annual
return on IRS Form 8621 regarding distributions received on H Shares or ADSs and any gain realized on the disposition of H Shares or ADSs.

QEF Election. If you own (or owned) H Shares or ADSs while we are (or were) a PFIC and you make a QEF Election, you generally will
not be subject to the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above. Instead, you will be subject to current U.S. federal income tax on your pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, regardless of whether such
amounts are actually distributed to you by us. However, you can make a QEF Election only if we agree to furnish you annually with certain tax information, and we currently do not intend to prepare or provide such information.

Mark-to-Market Election. U.S. Holders may make a Mark-to-Market Election, but only if the H Shares or ADSs are marketable stock.
The H Shares or ADSs will be marketable stock as long as they are regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Stock is considered regularly traded for any calendar year during which it is traded (other than in de minimis
quantities) on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. Qualified exchanges include (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (b) the national market system established
pursuant to section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and (c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located, provided that (i) such
foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure, surveillance, and other requirements and the laws of the country in which such foreign exchange is located, together with the rules of such foreign exchange, ensure that such
requirements are actually enforced, and (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange effectively promote active trading of listed stocks.

##### Table of Contents

Since the H Shares are listed on a foreign exchange (i.e., the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited) and the IRS has yet to identify specific foreign exchanges that are qualified for this purpose, there can be no assurances that the H Shares will be marketable stock and will be regularly traded. As for the ADSs, they will be
marketable stock as long as they remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange and are regularly traded. There can be no assurances, however, that the ADSs will be treated, or continue to be treated, as regularly traded.

If you own (or owned) H Shares or ADSs while we are (or were) a PFIC and you make a Mark-to-Market Election, you generally will not be
subject to the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above. Rather, you generally will be required to recognize ordinary income for any increase in the fair market value of the ADSs for each taxable year that we are a PFIC. You
will also be allowed to deduct as an ordinary loss any decrease in the fair market value to the extent of net marked-to-market gain previously included in prior years. Your adjusted tax basis in the ADSs will be adjusted to reflect the amount
included or deducted.

The Mark-to-Market Election will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and
all subsequent taxable years, unless the ADSs cease to be marketable stock or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a Mark-to-Market
Election.

Since the PFIC rules are complex, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding them and how they may affect
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of H Shares or ADSs.

Information Reporting
and Backup Withholding

Generally, information reporting requirements will apply to distributions on H Shares or ADSs
or proceeds from the disposition of H Shares or ADSs paid within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States) to a U.S. Holder unless such U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation. Furthermore, backup
withholding (currently at 28%) may apply to such amounts unless such U.S. Holder (i) is an exempt recipient that, if required, establishes its right to an exemption, or (ii) provides its taxpayer identification number, certifies that it is
not currently subject to backup withholding, and complies with other applicable requirements.

A U.S. Holder may generally
avoid backup withholding by furnishing a properly completed IRS Form W-9.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax.
Rather, amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability. Furthermore, you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS
and furnishing any required information in a timely manner.

TAXATION OF NON-U.S. HOLDERS

Distributions on H Shares or ADSs

Subject to the discussion in Information Reporting and Backup Withholding below, as a Non-U.S. Holder, you generally will not
be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, on distributions received on H Shares or ADSs, unless the distributions are effectively connected with a trade or business that you conduct in the United States (and, if an applicable
income tax treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment that you maintain in the United States).

If
distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (and, if applicable, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment), you generally will be subject to tax on such distributions in the same manner as a U.S. Holder, as described
in Taxation of U.S. Holders  Distributions on H Shares or ADSs above. In addition, any such distributions received by a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch
profits tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Dispositions
of H Shares or ADSs

Subject to the discussion in Information Reporting and Backup Withholding below, as a
Non-U.S. Holder, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, on any gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of H Shares or ADSs, unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with a
trade or business that you conduct in the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment that you maintain in the United States), or (ii) you are an individual and are present in
the United States for at least 183 days in the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other conditions are met.

##### Table of Contents

If you meet the test in clause (i) above, you generally will be subject to tax on any
gain that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States in the same manner as a U.S. Holder, as described in Taxation of U.S. Holders  Dispositions of H Shares or ADSs above. Effectively
connected gain realized by a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

If you meet the test in clause (ii) above, you generally will be subject to tax at a 30% rate on the amount by which
your U.S. source capital gain exceeds your U.S. source capital loss.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments to Non-U.S. Holders of distributions on, or proceeds from the disposition of, H Shares or ADSs are generally
exempt from information reporting and backup withholding. However, a Non-U.S. Holder may be required to establish that exemption by providing certification of non-U.S. status on an appropriate IRS Form W-8.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against your
U.S. federal income tax liability. Furthermore, you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information in a timely manner.

F. Dividends and Paying Agents.

H. Documents on Display.

We are subject to the periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, we are required to file reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, we are required to file annually a Form 20-F no later than six months after the close of each
fiscal year, which is December 31 of each year. Copies of reports and other information, when so filed, may be inspected without charge and may be obtained at prescribed rates at the public reference facilities maintained by the Securities and
Exchange Commission at Room 1024, Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You can request copies of these documents upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing to the SEC. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further
information on the operation of the public reference rooms. The SEC also maintains a Web site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the
SEC using its EDGAR system. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of quarterly reports and proxy statements, and officers, directors and principal shareholders are
exempt from the reporting and short- swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We are subject to risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. Our debts are fixed and variable rate bank and other loans, with
original maturities ranging from 1 to 13 years. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates can lead to significant fluctuations in the fair value of such debt instruments. We have no program of interest rate hedging activities and did not engage in
any such activities in 2009 or 2008.

|ITEM 12. | DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES.
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------

In connection with our ADS program, a holder of our ADSs may have to pay, either directly or indirectly, certain fees and charges, as
described in Item 12.D.3. In addition, we receive fees and other direct and indirect payments from Bank of New York that are related to our ADS as described in Item 12.D.4.

12D.3 Fees and Charges that a holder of our ADSs May Have to Pay

The Bank of New York collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs
for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The Bank of New York also collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable
property to pay the fees. The Bank of New York may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions.

|ITEM 15. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

A. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The term disclosure controls and procedures is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. These rules refer
to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required
time periods. This includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer
or officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We maintain a written policy adopted by our board of
directors that governs the collection, coordination and disclosure of information to our shareholders, the public and to governmental and other regulatory bodies. All such disclosures are coordinated by the Secretary and subject to execution by
either the Chairman of the Board or, for disclosures by our Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Under the policy, all material issues must be disclosed and our disclosures must be true, accurate, complete and timely without any
false or misleading statements. Each of our departments and subsidiaries has their own supplemental policies which may be both written and unwritten.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

B. Managements report on
internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its
inherent limitations. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as of December 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009 based on these criteria.

KPMG, an independent registered public
accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 20-F and, as part of the audit, has issued a report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

C. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited:

We have audited Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limiteds management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A
companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated
balance sheets of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2009, and our report dated March 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

|Director Independence                     |  | A listed company must have a majority of independent directors on its board of directors. The board of directors needs to affirmatively determine that the director has no material
relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). In addition, a director must meet certain standards to be deemed independent.                                                                        |  | It is required in China that any listed company must have independent directors and set forth specific requirements for the
qualification and election of independent directors in compliance with PRC laws. For example, an independent director shall not hold any other position in the listed company other than being a director and shall not be influenced by the main
shareholders or the controlling persons of the listed company, or by any other entities or persons with whom the listed company has a significant relationship. 
The Company has complied with the relevant Chinese corporate governance rules and has implemented internal rules governing the independence and
responsibilities of independent directors. The Company determines the independence of independent directors every year.

eligible people for the board of directors, select and nominate directors for the next session of the shareholders annual meeting, study and propose corporate governance guidelines, supervise the evaluation of the board of directors and
management, and evaluate the performance of the committee every year. |  | Relevant responsibilities of the nominating/corporate governance committee are similar to those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but the main responsibilities do not include the
research and recommendation of corporate governance guidelines, the supervision of the evaluation of the board of directors and management, or the annual evaluation of the committee.

|                       |  | The purposes and responsibilities of the compensation committee stated in its charter must include the following:
 (1) review and approve the corporate goals associated with CEOs compensation,
evaluate the performance of the CEO in fulfilling these goals, and based on such evaluation determine and approve the CEOs compensation level; 
(2) make recommendations to the board with respect to non-CEO executive officer compensation, and incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are
subject to board approval;  (3) produce a committee report on executive
compensation as required by the SEC to be included in the annual proxy statement or annual report filed with the SEC. 
The charter must also include the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of the compensation committee.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |  | The responsibilities of the compensation and assessment committee include:
 (1) review the standards for the evaluation of directors and management, evaluate
directors and management and report the results of such evaluation to the board of directors; 
(2) review compensation policies and benefit plans for directors and executive officers.
 Unlike the NYSE rules, the PRC rules do not require the committee to produce a report
on the executive compensation or make an annual performance evaluation of the committee. In addition, the compensation committee evaluates and reviews the compensation of directors as well as executive officers.
 The board of directors of the Company has established a compensation and performance
evaluation committee composed mainly of independent directors who act as the convener, and the committee has established a written charter complying with the domestic corporate governance rules.

|Audit Committee        |  | Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act). It must have a minimum of three members, and all audit committee members must satisfy the requirements for independence set forth in Section 303A.02 of NYSE Corporate Governance Rules as well as the requirements of Rule
10A-3b(1) of the Exchange Act.  The written charter of the audit committee
must specify that the purpose of the audit committee is to assist the board oversight of the integrity of financial statements, the companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, qualifications and independence of independent
auditors, the performance of the listed companys internal audit function and the appointment and retention of independent auditors. 
The written charter must also require the audit committee to prepare an audit committee report as required by the SEC to be included in the listed
companys annual proxy statement as well as an annual performance evaluation of the audit committee. |  | The board of directors of a listed company can, through the resolution of the shareholders meeting, establish an audit committee
composed entirely of directors, of which the independent directors are the majority and act as the convener, and, at minimum, one independent director is an accounting professional.
 The purpose, authority and responsibilities of the audit committee are similar to
those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but according to customary practices in China, the Company is not required to make an annual performance evaluation of the audit committee, and the audit committee is not required to prepare an audit report to be
included in the Companys annual proxy statement. The board of directors of the Company has established an audit committee that satisfies Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and relevant domestic requirements. The
audit committee has a written charter.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited and subsidiaries (the Group)
as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Groups management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009,
in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,

1. ORGANIZATION, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (the Company), formerly Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited, was established
in the Peoples Republic of China (the PRC or the State) on June 29, 1993 as a joint stock limited company to hold the assets and liabilities of the production divisions and certain other units of the Shanghai
Petrochemical Complex (SPC). SPC was established in 1972 and owned and managed the production divisions as well as the related housing, stores, schools, hotels, transportation, hospitals and other municipal services in the community of
Jinshanwei.

The Companys former controlling shareholder, China Petrochemical Corporation (CPC) completed its
reorganization on February 25, 2000 in which its interests in the Company were transferred to its subsidiary, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec Corp). In connection with the reorganization, CPC transferred the
ownership of its 4,000,000,000 of the Companys state owned legal shares, which represented 55.56 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company, to Sinopec Corp. On October 12, 2000, the Company changed its name to Sinopec
Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited.

The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) is
the processing of crude oil into petrochemical products for sale. The Group is one of the largest petrochemical enterprises in the PRC, with a highly integrated petrochemical complex which processes crude oil into a broad range of synthetic fibres,
resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products. Substantially all of its products are sold in the PRC domestic market.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)

(All Renminbi amounts in thousands, except per share data and except otherwise stated)



1. ORGANIZATION, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION(continued)



The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for available-for-sale equity securities and
derivative financial instruments which are stated at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.

Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have significant effect on the financial statements and
major sources of estimation uncertainty are disclosed in note 31.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



| | (a) | Basis of consolidation
| | --- | ----------------------



| | (i) | Subsidiaries and minority interests
| | --- | -----------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and all of its principal subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights
that presently are exercisable are taken into account.

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated
financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated
financial statements. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Minority interests represent the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests that are not owned by the
Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, and in respect of which the Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in
respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. Minority interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Minority
interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year
between minority interests and the equity shareholders of the Company.

Where losses applicable to the minority exceed the
minoritys interest in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the Groups interest except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to,
make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the Groups interest is allocated all such profits until the minoritys share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)



| | (a) | Basis of consolidation (continued)
| | --- | ----------------------------------



| | (ii) | Associates and jointly controlled entities
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------

An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over its management, including
participation in the financial and operating policy decisions.

A jointly controlled entity is an entity which operates under
a contractual arrangement between the Group and other parties, where the contractual arrangement establishes that the Group and one or more of the other parties share joint control over the economic activity of the entity.

An investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity
method and is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Groups share of the associates or the jointly controlled entitys net assets. The Groups share of the post-acquisition,
post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognized in the consolidated statements of income, whereas the Groups share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees other comprehensive income
is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

When the Groups share of losses exceeds its
interest in the associate or the jointly controlled entity, the Groups interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made
payments on behalf of the investee. For this purpose, the Groups interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with the Groups long-term interests that in substance form part of the Groups net
investment in the associate or the jointly controlled entity.

Unrealized profits and losses resulting from transactions
between the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the investee, except where unrealized losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case
they are recognized immediately in profit or loss.



| | (b) | Goodwill
| | --- | --------

Goodwill represents
the excess of the cost of a business combination or an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity over the Groups interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)



| | (b) | Goodwill (continued)
| | --- | --------------------

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each
cash-generating unit, or groups of cash-generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment (see note 2(u)). In respect of associates or jointly controlled entities, the carrying
amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the interest in the associate or jointly controlled entities, and the investment as a whole is tested for impairment whenever there is objective evidence of impairment (see note 2(u)).

Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities over the cost of a business combination or an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.



| | (c) | Other investments
| | --- | -----------------

The
Groups policies for other investments, other than investments in associates and jointly controlled entities, are as follows:

Investments in available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value with any change in fair value recognized in other
comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the fair value reserve. When these investments are derecognized or impaired, the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Investments in equity securities
that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are recognized in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (see note 2(u)).



| | (d) | Property, plant and equipment
| | --- | -----------------------------

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost (see note 18) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses
(see note 2(u)).

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labor, the initial estimate, where
relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of items of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the items and are recognized in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the costs of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line
basis, after taking into account their estimated residual values, as follows:



|                             |  |               
|---------------------------- |  | --------------
|Buildings                    |  | 15 to 40 years
|Plant and machinery          |  | 10 to 20 years
|Vehicles and other equipment |  | 5 to 26 years

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)



| | (d) | Property, plant and equipment (continued)
| | --- | -----------------------------------------

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable
basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value are reviewed annually.



| | (e) | Investment property
| | --- | -------------------

Investment
properties are properties which are owned or held under a leasehold interest either to earn rental income and / or for capital appreciation.

Investment properties are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 2(u)).
Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, after taking into account their estimated residual values. Estimated useful life of the investment property is 40 years.



| | (f) | Lease prepayments and other assets
| | --- | ----------------------------------

Lease prepayments and other assets mainly represent prepayments for land use rights and catalysts used in production. The assets are
carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses (see note 2(u)). Lease prepayments and other assets are written off on a straight-line basis over the respective periods of the rights and the estimated useful lives of the
catalysts.



| | (g) | Construction in progress
| | --- | ------------------------

Construction in progress represents buildings, various plant and equipment under construction and pending installation, and is stated at
cost less government grants that compensate the Company for the cost of construction, and impairment losses (see note 2(u)). Cost comprises direct costs of construction as well as interest charges, and foreign exchange differences on related
borrowed funds to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest charges, during the period of construction.

Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when the asset is substantially ready for its intended use.

No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)



| | (h) | Inventories
| | --- | -----------

Inventories, other
than spare parts and consumables, are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of the inventories is recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue
is recognized. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is
recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Spare parts and consumables are stated at cost less any provision for obsolescence.



| | (i) | Trade receivables, bills and other receivables
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------

Trade receivables, bills and other receivables are initially recognized at fair value and thereafter stated at amortized cost less
allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(u)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the
receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

Trade receivables, bills and other receivables
are derecognized if the Groups contractual rights to the cash flows from these financial assets expire or if the Group transfers these financial assets to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the
assets.



| | (j) | Derivative financial instruments
| | --- | --------------------------------

Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. At each balance sheet date the fair value is remeasured. The gain
or loss on remeasurement of derivative financial instruments to fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

| | (k) | Interest-bearing borrowings
| | --- | ---------------------------

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between the amount initially recognized and redemption value being recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees
payable, using the effective interest method.



| | (l) | Trade and other payables
| | --- | ------------------------

Trade
and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and thereafter stated at amortized cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and time deposits with banks and other financial institutions with an initial term of less than three months at acquisition. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.



| | (n) | Translation of foreign currencies
| | --- | ---------------------------------

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into Renminbi at the applicable exchange rates ruling at the transaction
dates.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Renminbi at rates quoted by the
Peoples Bank of China at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into Renminbi at the closing foreign exchange rate ruling at the date
of the transaction.

Foreign currency translation differences relating to funds borrowed to finance the construction of
property, plant and equipment to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs are capitalized during the construction period. All other exchange gains and losses are dealt with in profit or loss.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)



| | (o) | Revenue recognition
| | --- | -------------------

Revenues
associated with the sale of petroleum and chemical products are recognized in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue excludes value added tax and is after deduction of any trade
discounts and returns. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due to the possible return of goods, or when the amount of revenue and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of
the transaction cannot be measured reliably.

Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss upon performance
of the services.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date the shareholders right to receive payments
is established.

Gains or losses arising from the disposal of unlisted investments are determined as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment and are recognized in profit or loss on the date of disposal.

Rental income from investment property is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.



| | (p) | Government grants
| | --- | -----------------

Government
grants are recognized in the balance sheet initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are
recognized as revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are
effectively recognized in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.



| | (q) | Net financing costs
| | --- | -------------------

Net
financing costs comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, interest income on bank deposits, gains and losses in fair value change of derivative financial instruments, foreign exchange gains and
losses and bank charges.

Interest income from bank deposits is recognized in profit or loss as it accrues using the effective
interest method.

All interest and other costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed as incurred as part of net
financing costs, except to the extent that they are capitalized as being directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)



| | (r) | Repairs and maintenance expenses
| | --- | --------------------------------

Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to profit or loss as and when they are incurred.



| | (s) | Research and development costs
| | --- | ------------------------------

Research and development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to research and development activities or that can be
allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities. Because of the nature of the Groups research and development activities, no development costs satisfy the criteria for the recognition of such costs as an asset. Both research and development
costs are therefore recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred.



| | (t) | Employee benefits
| | --- | -----------------

The
contributions payable under the Groups retirement plans are charged to the profit or loss on an accrual basis according to the contribution determined by the plans. Further information is set out in note 28.

Termination benefits, recorded as employee reduction expenses in the profit or loss, are recognized when, and only when, the Group
demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.



| | (u) | Impairment loss
| | --- | ---------------



| | (i) | Trade accounts receivable, bills and other receivables and investments in equity securities other than investments in associates and jointly controlled entities, that
do not have a quoted market price in an active market are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is determined and recognized.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of discounting is material, and is recognized as an expense in the profit or loss. Impairment losses for trade accounts receivable,
bills and other receivables are reversed through the profit or loss if in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment loss decreases. Impairment losses for investments in equity securities carried at cost are not reversed.

For investments in associates and jointly controlled entities recognized using the equity method (note 2(a)(ii)), the impairment loss is
measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment as a whole with its carrying amount in accordance with note 2(u)(ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the
recoverable amount in accordance with note 2(u)(ii).

| | (u) | Impairment loss (continued)
| | --- | ---------------------------



| | (ii) | Impairment of other long-lived assets is accounted for as follows:
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------

The carrying amounts of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, construction in progress, lease prepayment,
other assets and investments in associates and jointly controlled entities, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the asset may be impaired. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet
date.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. In determining the
value in use, expected future cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset
does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

The amount of the reduction is recognized as an expense in the profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating
units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset
will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs to sell, or value in use, if determinable.

Management assesses
at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset, except in the case of goodwill, in prior years may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in
the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. A subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset, when the circumstances and events that led to the write-down or write-off cease to exist, is recognized in profit or loss. The
reversal is reduced by the amount that would have been recognized as depreciation had the write-down or write-off not occurred. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

| | (v) | Dividends payable
| | --- | -----------------

Dividends are
recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared.



| | (w) | Income tax
| | --- | ----------

Income tax expense
comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the
taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes, except differences relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities which affect neither
accounting nor taxable income. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet
date. The effect on deferred tax of any changes in tax rates is charged or credited to the profit or loss, except for the effect of a change in tax rate on the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities which were previously charged or
credited directly to equity upon initial recognition, in such case the effect of a change in tax rate is also charged or credited to equity.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against the assets
which can be realized or utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

| | (x) | Provisions and contingent liabilities
| | --- | -------------------------------------

Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the
expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required,
or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.



| | (y) | Related parties
| | --- | ---------------

Parties are
considered to be related to the Group if the Group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or jointly control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where
the Group and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and / or their close family members) or other entities and
include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the Group where those parties are individuals, and post-employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the Group or of any entity that is a related
party of the Group.



| | (z) | Segment reporting
| | --- | -----------------

Operating
segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Groups chief operating decision maker for the purposes of allocating resources to, and
assessing the performance of the Groups various lines of business.

3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The IASB has issued one new IFRS, a number of amendments to IFRSs and new Interpretations that are first effective for the current
accounting period of the Group. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Groups financial statements:



| |  |  | IFRS 8, Operating segments
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | IAS 1 (revised 2007), Presentation of financial statements
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Improvements to IFRSs (2008)
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Amendments to IAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements  cost of an investment in a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity or
associate
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures  improving disclosures about financial instruments
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | IAS 23 (revised 2007), Borrowing costs
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

The Improvements to IFRSs (2008) comprise a number of minor and non-urgent amendments to several IFRSs which the IASB has
issued as an omnibus batch of amendments. The amendments had no material impact on the Groups financial statements.

IAS
23 (revised 2007) has had no material impact on the Groups financial statements as the amendments were consistent with policies already adopted by the Group. In addition, the amendments to IFRS 7 do not contain any additional disclosure
requirements specifically applicable to the Groups financial statements. The impact of the remainder of these developments on the financial statements is as follows:



| |  |  | IFRS 8 requires segment disclosure to be based on the way that the Groups chief operating decision maker manages the Group, with the amounts
reported for each reportable segment being the measures reported to the Groups chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and making decisions about operating matters. The adoption of IFRS 8 has not
resulted in any significant changes to the presentation of segment information since the identification and presentation of reportable segments in prior periods were consistent with IFRS 8.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | As a result of the adoption of IAS 1 (revised 2007), details of changes in equity during the period arising from transactions with equity shareholders
in their capacity as such have been presented separately from all other income and expenses in a revised consolidated statements of changes in equity. All other items of income and expense are presented in the consolidated statements of income, if
they are recognized as part of profit or loss for the period, or otherwise in a new primary statement, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Corresponding amounts have been restated to conform to the new presentation. This change in
presentation has no effect on reported profit or loss, total income and expense or net assets for any period presented.

3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)



| |  |  | The amendments to IAS 27 have removed the requirement that dividends arising from pre-acquisition profits should be recognized as a deduction in the
carrying amount of the investment in the investee, rather than as income. As a result, as from January 1, 2009 all dividends receivable from associates and jointly controlled entities, whether arising from pre- or post-acquisition profits, will
be recognized in the Companys profit or loss and the carrying amount of the investment in the investee will not be reduced unless that carrying amount is assessed to be impaired as a result of the investee declaring the dividend. In such
cases, in addition to recognizing dividend income in profit or loss, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. In accordance with the transitional provisions in the amendment, this new policy will be applied prospectively to any dividends
receivable in the current or future periods and previous periods have not been restated.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In prior years,
property, plant and equipment were carried at revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluation was performed periodically to ensure that the carrying
amount did not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the previous balance sheet dates. Based on the revaluations performed in prior years, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment did not differ
materially from their fair value.

In 2009, property, plant and equipment are accounted for using the cost model, being the
cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. This change is to align the Groups accounting policy with industry peers to provide more relevant financial information to the users of the Groups financial statements. This
change has been applied retrospectively. This change in accounting policy had no effect on the financial condition as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and the results of operation for the years then ended, therefore, no comparative balance
sheet as at January 1, 2008 was presented.

4. OTHER INCOME

The Group recognized grant income of RMB 2,312,227 (2007: RMB 93,900) during the year ended December 31, 2008. These grants were
mainly for compensation of losses incurred due to the distortion of the correlation of domestic refined petroleum product prices and the crude oil prices, and the measures taken by the Group to stabilize the supply in the PRC refined petroleum
product market during the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no unfilled conditions and other contingencies attached to the receipts of these grants. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Group did not receive such government
grants.

11. INCOME TAX(continued)



| | (b) | Deferred taxation (continued):
| | --- | ------------------------------



| | (ii) | Movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (continued):
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Group recognizes deferred tax assets only to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the assets can be utilized. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets will
be utilized, management believes that it is probable the Group will realize the benefits of these temporary differences.



| | (iii) | Deferred tax assets not recognized:
| | ----- | -----------------------------------

As at December 31, 2009, a subsidiary of the Company did not recognize the deferred tax assets in respect of the impairment losses on
property, plant and equipment amounting to RMB 432,579 (2008: RMB 357,560, 2007: RMB nil) and the tax value of losses carried forward for PRC income tax purpose amounting to RMB 417,688 (2008: RMB 310,396, 2007 RMB 112,444), because it was not
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. The deductible tax losses carried forward of RMB 14,539, RMB 29,357, RMB 68,548, RMB 197,952 and RMB 107,292 will expire in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

12. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE

The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share is based on the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB
1,590,988 (2008: loss of RMB 6,238,444; 2007: profit of RMB1,634,080) and 7,200,000,000 (2008: 7,200,000,000; 2007: 7,200,000,000) shares in issue during the year.

All of the Groups buildings are located in the PRC (including Hong Kong).

Buildings in Hong Kong with a net book value of RMB 30,573 (2008: RMB 31,759) were held under medium-term leases.

The Company was established in the PRC on June 29, 1993 as a joint stock limited company as part of the restructuring of Shanghai
Petrochemical Complex (SPC). On the same date, the principal business undertakings of SPC together with the relevant assets and liabilities were taken over by the Company. As required by the relevant PRC rules and regulations, a
valuation of the assets and liabilities to be injected into the Company was carried out as at January 1, 1993 by the State-owned Assets Administration Bureau and the injected assets and liabilities were reflected in the financial statements on
this basis.

All the A and H shares rank pari passu in all
respects.

Capital management

Management optimises the structure of its capital, comprising equity and loans. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure,
management may cause the Group to issue new shares, adjust the capital expenditure plan, sell assets to reduce debt, or adjust the proportion of short-term and long-term loans. Management monitors capital on the basis of debt-to-equity ratio, which
is calculated by dividing loans and borrowings, by the total of equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company, and liability-to-asset ratio, which is calculated by dividing total liabilities by total assets. Managements strategy is
to make appropriate adjustments according to the operating and investment needs and the changes of market conditions, and to maintain the debt-to-equity ratio and the liability-to-asset ratio at a range considered reasonable by management. As at
December 31, 2009, the debt-to-equity ratio and the liability-to-asset ratio of the Group were 53.84% (2008: 72.62%) and 48.85% (2008: 50.02%), respectively.

The schedule of the contractual maturities of loans and commitments are disclosed in notes 23 and 27, respectively.

There were no changes in the managements approach to capital management of the Group during the year. Neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

26. RESERVES(continued)



Note b

According to the Companys Articles of Association, the Company is required to transfer 10% of the Companys profit after
taxation, as determined under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, to a statutory surplus reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital. The transfer to this reserve is made before distribution of a dividend
to shareholders.

The statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good of previous years losses, if any, and may be
converted into share capital by the issue of new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the balance after such issue is not less than
25% of the registered capital.

Note c

This reserve represents gifts or grants received from China Petrochemical Corporation, the ultimate parent company and which are required
to be included in this reserve fund by PRC regulations.

Note d

The transfer to this reserve from the retained profits is subject to the approval by shareholders at general meetings. Its usage is
similar to that of statutory surplus reserve.

Note e

Effective from January 1, 2002, land use rights which are included in lease prepayments are carried at historical cost. Accordingly,
the surplus on the revaluation of land use rights is reversed to shareholders equity. Under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, land use rights are carried at revalued amounts.

Note f

The fair value reserve comprises the unrealized gain or loss of available-for-sale securities, net of deferred tax, held at the balance
sheet date.

Note g

According to the Companys Articles of Association, the reserve available for distribution is the lower of the amount determined
under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and the amount determined under IFRS. A dividend of RMB 216,000 (2008: RMB nil) in respect of the financial year 2009 was declared after the balance sheet date.

27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



| | (a) | Capital commitments
| | --- | -------------------

The Group
had capital commitments outstanding at December 31, 2009 not provided for in the financial statements as follows:



|                                               |  |              |  |

|                                               |  |             
|Contracted but not provided for                |  | 90,987       |  | 35,745   
|Authorized by the Board but not contracted for |  | 2,450,250    |  | 7,754,320
|                                               |  |              |  |          
|                                               |  |             
|                                               |  | 2,541,237    |  | 7,790,065
|                                               |  |              |  |          



| | (b) | Contingent liabilities
| | --- | ----------------------



| | (i) | Financial guarantees issued
| | --- | ---------------------------

At
December 31, 2009, the Group was contingently liable with respect to guarantees issued to banks in favor of associates and joint ventures of RMB nil (2008: RMB 25,747).

Guarantees issued to banks in favor of associates and joint ventures are given to the extent of the Companys respective interest in
these entities. Management monitors the conditions that are subject to the guarantees to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and recognize any such losses under guarantees when those losses are estimable. At December 31,
2008 and 2009, it is not probable that the Group will be required to make payments under the guarantees. Thus no liability has been accrued for a loss related to the Groups obligation under the guarantee arrangements.



| | (ii) | Income tax differences
| | ---- | ----------------------

With
respect to uncertainties about enterprise income tax differences arising from 2006 and before as originated from a tax circular (Circular No.664) issued by the State Administrative of Taxation in June 2007, the Company has been informed by the
relevant tax authority to settle the enterprise income tax (EIT) for the years prior to 2007 at a rate of 33 percent. To date, the Company has not been requested to pay additional EIT in respect of any years prior to 2007. There is no
further development of this matter during the year ended December 31, 2009. No provision has been made in the financial statements for this uncertainty for tax years prior to 2007 because management believes it cannot reliably estimate the
amount of the obligation, if any, that might exist.

28. RETIREMENT SCHEMES

As stipulated by the regulations of the PRC, the Group participates in a defined contribution retirement plan organized by the Shanghai
Municipal Government for its employees. The Group is required to make contributions to the retirement plan at a rate of 22% of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of its employees in 2009 (2008: 22%). A member of the plan is entitled to a
pension equal to a fixed proportion of the salary prevailing at his retirement date. The Group has no other material obligation for the payment of pension benefits associated with this plan beyond the annual contributions described above.

Pursuant to a document Lao Bu Fa (1995) No.464 dated December 29, 1995 issued by the Ministry of Labor
of the PRC, the Group has set up a supplementary defined contribution retirement plan for the benefit of employees. Employees who have served the Group for five years or more may participate in this plan. The Group and participating employees make
defined contributions to their pension saving accounts according to the plan. The assets of this plan are held separately from those of the Group in an independent fund administered by a committee consisting of representatives from the employees and
the Group. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Groups contribution to this plan amounted to RMB 49,513 (2008: RMB54,862; 2007: RMB 55,048).

These transactions are conducted in the ordinary course of the Groups business on
terms comparable to those with other entities that are not state controlled. The Group has established its procurement policies, pricing strategy and approval process for purchases and sales of products and services which do not depend on whether
the counterparties are state-controlled entities or not.

Having considered the transactions potentially affected by related
party relationships, the entitys pricing strategy, procurement policies and approval processes, and the information that would be necessary for an understanding of the potential effect of the related party relationship on the financial
statements, the directors are of the opinion that the following transactions require disclosure of the related amounts.

30. SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment information is presented in respect of the Groups business segments. The format is based on the Groups management and
internal reporting structure. In view of the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries operate mainly in the PRC, no geographical segment information is presented.

In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Groups chief operating decision maker for the
purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has identified the following four reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.

The Group principally operates in four operating segments: synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and
petroleum products. All of the Groups products are produced through intermediate steps from the principal raw material of crude oil. The specific products of each segment are as follows:



| | (a) | The synthetic fibres segment produces primarily polyester and acrylic fibres mainly used in the textile and apparel industries.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | The resins and plastics segment produces primarily polyester chips, low density polyethylene resins and films, polypropylene resins and PVA granules. The polyester
chips are used in the processing of polyester fibres and construction coating materials and containers. Low density polyethylene resins and plastics are used in cable jacketing, sheeting, the manufacture of moulded products, such as housewares and
toys and for agricultural and packaging uses. Polypropylene resins are used in the manufacturing of extruded films or sheets and injection moulded products such as housewares, toys and household electric appliance and automobile parts.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | The intermediate petrochemicals segment primarily produces ethylene and benzene. Most of the intermediate petrochemicals produced by the Group are used by the Group as
raw materials in the production of other petrochemicals, resins, plastics and synthetic fibres. A portion of the intermediate petrochemicals as well as certain by-products of the production process are sold to outside customers.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | The Groups petroleum products segment has crude oil distillation facilities used to produce vacuum and atmospheric gas oils used as feedstocks of the Groups
downstream processing facilities. Residual oil and low octane gasoline fuels are produced primarily as a co-product of the crude oil distillation process. A proportion of the residual oil is further processed into qualified refined gasoline and
diesel oil. In addition, the Group produces a variety of other transportation, industrial and household heating fuels, such as diesel oils, jet fuels, heavy oils and liquefied petroleum gases.

30. SEGMENT REPORTING(continued)



| | (e) | All other operating segments represent the operating segments which do not meet the quantitative threshold for determining reportable segments. These include sales of
consumer products, services and a variety of other commercial activities, which are not allocated to the above four operating segments.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(a) | Segment results, assets and liabilities
|--- | ---------------------------------------

In accordance with IFRS 8, segment information disclosed in the annual financial statements has been prepared in a manner consistent with
the information used by the Groups chief operating decision maker for the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources of the segments. In this regard, the Groups chief operating decision maker monitors the results,
assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:

Segment results, assets and liabilities
include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise income-earning assets and revenue, interest-bearing loans, borrowings and expenses, and corporate assets
and expenses.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire segment assets that are
expected to be used for more than one year.

31. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The Groups financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that
underlie the preparation of the financial statements. Management bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements
about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, circumstances and conditions change.

The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the
sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the financial statements. The principal accounting policies are set forth in Note 2. Management believes the following critical
accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Impairments for long lived assets

If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered
impaired, and an impairment loss may be recognized in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever events or changes in
circumstance have indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. The recoverable
amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for the Groups assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining the
value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to level of sale volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Group
uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sale volume, selling price and amount of
operating costs.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into
account the estimated residual value. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the
Groups historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

31. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES(continued)



Impairment for bad and doubtful debts

Management estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the customers to make the required
payments. Management bases the estimates on the ageing of the accounts receivable balance, customer credit-worthiness, and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, actual impairment losses
would be higher than estimated.

Allowance for diminution in value of inventories

If the costs of inventories fall below their net realisable values, an allowance for diminution in value of inventories is recognized. Net
realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Management bases the estimates on all available information,
including the current market prices of the finished goods and raw materials, and historical operating costs. If the actual selling prices were to be lower or the costs of completion were to be higher than estimated, the actual allowance for
diminution in value of inventories could be higher than estimated.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of temporary deductible differences. Since deferred tax assets are only
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against the assets which can be realized or utilized, managements judgment is required to assess the probability of future taxable profits.
Managements assessment is periodically reviewed and deferred tax assets are adjusted according to the probability of future taxable profits.

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Overview

Financial assets of the Group include cash and cash equivalents, other investments, trade debtors, bills receivable, derivative financial
instruments, other debtors and amounts due from related parties. Financial liabilities of the Group include loans and borrowings, trade creditors, bills payable, other creditors and amounts due to related parties.

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:



| |  |  | credit risk;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | liquidity risk; and
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | market risk
| | - |  | -----------

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment, oversight of the Groups risk management framework, and
developing and monitoring the Groups risk management policies.

The Groups risk management policies are established
to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and
the Groups activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Internal audit
department undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Groups audit committee.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Groups deposits placed with financial institutions and receivables from customers. The majority of the Groups trade debtors and amounts due from related parties relate to sales of
petroleum and chemical products to third parties and related parties operating in the petroleum and chemical industries. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally does not require
collateral on trade debtors and related parties. The Group maintains an impairment loss for doubtful accounts and actual losses have been within managements expectations. The details of the Groups credit policy and quantitative
disclosures in respect of the Groups exposure on credit risk for trade debtors are set out in Note 16.

The carrying
amounts of other investments, trade debtors, bills receivable, other debtors, and amounts due from related parties, represent the Groups maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Managements approach
in managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the
Groups reputation. Management prepares monthly cash flow budget to ensure that they will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. Management arranges and negotiates financing with financial
institutions and maintains a certain level of standby credit facilities to reduce the liquidity risk.

At December 31,
2009, the Groups current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RMB 5,243,500 (December 31, 2008: RMB 6,831,369). In 2010, the liquidity of the Group is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain adequate cash inflow from operations,
the renewal of its short-term bank loans and on its ability to obtain adequate external financing, including the issuance of short-term corporate bonds, to support its working capital and meet its debt obligation when they become due. At
December 31 2009, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide the Group to borrow up to RMB 9,100,000 (2008: RMB 9,600,000) on an unsecured basis. At 31 December 2009, the Groups
outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB 4,458,044 (2008: RMB 6,933,385) and were included in short-term bank loans.

Management has carried out a detailed review of the cash flow forecast of the Group for the twelve months ending December 31, 2010.
Based on such forecast, management believes that adequate sources of liquidity exist to fund the Groups working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and meet its short term debt obligations as they become due. In preparing the cash
flow forecast, management has considered historical cash requirements of the Group as well as other key factors, including the availability of the above-mentioned banking facilities which may impact the operations of the Group during the next
twelve-month period. Management is of the opinion that the assumptions used in the cash flow forecast are reasonable.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.



| | (a) | Currency risk
| | --- | -------------

Currency risk
arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. The Groups currency risk exposure primarily relates to short-term and long-term debts denominated in US dollars.
The Group entered into forward exchange contracts to manage such exposure during the year ended December 31, 2008. All of the forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year as at December 31, 2008. All of these contracts
matured and settled in 2009.

The changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts that economically hedge monetary
liabilities in foreign currencies are recognized as finance costs in the consolidated statements of income. The net fair value of forward exchange contracts used by the Group as economic hedges of monetary liabilities in foreign currencies at
December 31, 2009 was RMB nil (2008: RMB 97,644).

The following table details the Groups exposure at the balance
sheet date to currency risk mainly arising from loans and borrowings denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate.



|                                                 |  |          |   |  |          |

Market risk(continued)



| | (a) | Currency risk (continued)
| | --- | -------------------------

A 5 percent strengthening of Renminbi against the USD at December 31, 2009 would have increased net profit for the year and retained
earnings of the Group by approximately RMB 226,869 (2008: RMB 35,905; 2007: RMB 21,181). This analysis has been determined assuming that the change in foreign exchange rates had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to the foreign
currency balances to which the Group has significant exposure as stated above, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2008 and 2007.

Other than the amounts as disclosed above, the amounts of other financial assets and liabilities of the Group are substantially
denominated in the functional currency of respective entity of the Group.



| | (b) | Interest rate risk
| | --- | ------------------

The
Groups interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term loans. Loans carrying interest at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk
respectively. The interest rates of loans and borrowings of the Group are disclosed in note 23.

As at December 31, 2009,
it is estimated that a general increase / decrease of 100 basis points in variable interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would decrease / increase the Groups net profit for the year and retained earnings by approximately RMB
43,444 (2008: RMB 42,341; 2007: RMB 12,146). This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the balance sheet date and the change was applied to the Groups debts outstanding at that
date with exposure to cash flow interest rate risk. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2008 and 2007.

Fair value



| | (i) | Financial instruments carried at fair value
| | --- | -------------------------------------------

The following table presents the carrying value of financial instruments measured at fair value at the balance sheet date across the three
levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, with the fair value of each financial instrument categorized in its entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to that fair value
measurement. The levels are defined as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1 (highest level): fair values measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2: fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar financial instruments, or using valuation techniques in which all
significant inputs are directly or indirectly based on observable market data
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3 (lowest level): fair values measured using valuation techniques in which any significant input is not based on observable market data

During the year there were no significant transfers
between instruments in Level 1 and Level 2.



| | (ii) | Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The disclosures of the fair value estimates, methods and assumptions, set forth below for the Groups financial instruments, are made
to comply with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IAS 39 and should be read in conjunction with the Groups consolidated financial statements and related notes. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by management using market
information and valuation methodologies considered appropriate. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts the Group could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/ or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The fair value of long term loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows thereon using current market interest rates offered to the
Group for loans with substantially the same characteristics and maturities ranging from 5.31% to 5.94% (2008: 5.31% to 5.94%). The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Groups long term loans at December 31,
2008 and 2009.



|                |  |                |  |           |  |                |  |

|Long-term loans |  | 963,542        |  | 958,461   |  | 378,533        |  | 375,233  
|                |  |                |  |           |  |                |  |          

The fair value of available-for-sale equity securities,
which amounted to RMB nil as at December 31, 2009 (2008: RMB 123,918) was based on quoted market price on a PRC stock exchange. The fair value of forward exchange contracts which amounted to RMB nil as at December 31, 2009 (2008: RMB
97,644) was based by discounting the contractual forward price and deducting the current spot rate. Unquoted equity investments are individually and in the aggregate not material to the Groups financial condition or results of operations.
There are no listed market prices for such interests in the PRC and, accordingly, a reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made without incurring excessive costs.

The fair values of all other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.



|33. | POSSIBLE IMPACT OF AMENDMENTS, NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE FOR THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTING PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up to the date of issue of these financial statements, the IASB has issued a number of amendments, new standards
and interpretations which are not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2009 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements.

Management is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is
expected to be in the period of initial application and has so far concluded that the adoption of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Groups results of operations and
financial position.

Independent Auditors Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Shanghai Secco Petrochemical Company Limited:

We have audited the accompanying income statement, statement of changes in owners equity, and cash flow statement of Shanghai Secco Petrochemical
Company Limited for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Shanghai Secco Petrochemical Company Limited for the year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with the requirements of China Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance of the Peoples Republic of China.

China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises
vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature of such differences is presented in Note 39 to the financial statements.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES



| | (1) | Translation of foreign currencies
| | --- | ---------------------------------

When the Company receives capital in foreign currencies from investors, the capital is translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rate on
the date of the receipt. Other foreign currency transactions are, on initial recognition, translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions.

A spot exchange rate is an exchange rate quoted by the Peoples Bank of China.

Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The
resulting exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss, except those arising from the principal and interest on foreign currency borrowings specifically for the purpose of acquisition, construction of qualifying assets (see Note 3(15)).
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated to Renminbi using the foreign exchange rate at the transaction date.



| | (2) | Cash and cash equivalents
| | --- | -------------------------

Cash
and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits.



| | (3) | Inventories
| | --- | -----------

Inventories are
carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of
conversion and other costs. Inventories are initially measured at their actual cost. Cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method. In addition to the purchase cost of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods include
direct labour costs and an appropriate allocation of production overheads.

Any excess of the cost over the net realizable
value of each class of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated costs to complete and the estimated
expenses and related taxes necessary to make the sale.

| | (4) | Fixed assets and construction in progress
| | --- | -----------------------------------------

Fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the Company for use in the production of goods, supply of services or for operation and
administrative purposes with useful lives over one year.

Fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 3(9)(b)). Construction in progress is stated in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (see Note 3(9)(b)).

The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing
the asset to working condition for its intended use. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, capitalized borrowing costs (see Note 3(15)), and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to
working condition for its intended use.

Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when it is ready for its
intended use. No depreciation is provided against construction in progress.

Where the parts of an item of fixed asset have
different useful lives or provide benefits to the Company in different pattern, thus necessitating use of different depreciation rates or methods, each part is recognized as a separate fixed asset.

The subsequent costs including the cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets are recognized in the carrying amount of the item if
the recognition criteria are satisfied, and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of fixed assets are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of fixed asset are determined as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognized in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual values
and depreciation rates of each class of fixed assets are as follows:



|                           |  |             |  |                         |   |  |                  |  
|-------------------------- |  | ----------- |  | ----------------------- | - |  | ---------------- | -
|                           |  | Useful life |  | Estimatedresidual value |   |  | Depreciationrate |  
|                           |  |             | 
|Plant and buildings        |  | 10-40 years |  | 3                       | % |  | 2.43%-9.70       | %
|Machinery and equipment    |  | 10-28 years |  | 3                       | % |  | 3.46%-9.70       | %
|Office and other equipment |  | 4-5 years   |  | 3                       | % |  | 19.40%-24.25     | %
|Motor vehicles             |  | 8 years     |  | 3                       | % |  | 12.13            | %

Useful lives,
residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least each year end.

| | (5) | Operating lease charges
| | --- | -----------------------

Rental
payments under operating leases are recognized as costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.



| | (6) | Intangible assets
| | --- | -----------------

Intangible
assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see Note 3(9)(b)). For an intangible asset with finite useful life, its cost less residual value and
impairment loss is amortized on the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. The respective amortization periods for such intangible assets are as follows:



|                  |  |                       
|----------------- |  | ----------------------
|                  |  | Estimated useful lives
|                  | 
|Land use right    |  | 47 years              
|Patent            |  | 10 years              
|Computer software |  | 5 years               

An intangible asset
is regarded as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortized when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Company. At the balance sheet date, the Company does not
have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.



| | (7) | Long-term deferred expenses
| | --- | ---------------------------

Long-term deferred expenses represent catalyst costs, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.



| | (8) | Financial instruments
| | --- | ---------------------

Financial
instruments comprise cash at bank and on hand, receivables, payables, loans and borrowings, etc.



| | (a) | Recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of a financial instrument.

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities into different categories at
initial recognition based on the purpose of acquiring assets or assuming liabilities: loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities.

Notes to the financial statements(Continued)

(Expressed in Renminbi)



Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value. Any
attributable transaction costs are included in their initial costs. Subsequent to initial recognition financial assets and liabilities are measured as follows:



| |  |  | Receivables
| | - |  | -----------

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method.



| |  |  | Other financial liabilities
| | - |  | ---------------------------

Financial liabilities other than the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as other financial
liabilities.

Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.



| | (b) | Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------

A financial asset is derecognized if the Companys contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or if the
Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another party.

Where a
transfer of a financial asset in its entirety meets the criteria of the derecognition, the difference between the two amounts below is recognized in profit or loss:



| |  |  | carrying amount of the financial asset transferred
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the consideration received from the transfer.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

The Company derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) only when the underlying present obligation (or part of it) is discharged.



| | (9) | Impairment of financial assets and non-financial long-term assets
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| | (a) | Impairment of financial assets
| | --- | ------------------------------

The carrying amounts of financial assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of
impairment. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is provided.



| |  |  | Receivables
| | - |  | -----------

Receivables are assessed for impairment both on an individual basis and on a collective group basis.

receivable is calculated as the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows (exclusive of future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate. All
impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

The assessment is made collectively where receivables share similar
credit risk characteristics (including those having not been individually assessed as impaired), based on their historical loss experiences, and adjusted by the observable figures reflecting present economic conditions.

If, after an impairment loss has been recognized on receivables, there is objective evidence of a recovery in value of the financial
asset which can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss will not result in the assets
carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.



| | (b) | Impairment of non-financial long-term assets
| | --- | --------------------------------------------

The carrying amounts of the following assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date based on the internal and external sources of
information to determine whether there is any indication of impairment:



| |  |  | fixed assets
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | construction in progress
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | intangible assets
| | - |  | -----------------

If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.

An asset group is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows
from other assets or asset groups. An asset group is composed of assets directly relating to cash-generation. Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash
inflows from other assets or asset groups. In identifying an asset group, the Company also considers how management monitors the Companys operations and how management makes decisions about continuing or disposing of the Companys assets.

The recoverable amount of an asset, asset group or set of asset groups is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and
its present value of expected future cash flows.

An assets fair value less costs to sell is the amount determined by the price of
a sale agreement in an arms length transaction, less the costs that are directly attributable to the disposal of the asset. The present value of expected future cash flows of an asset is determined by discounting the future cash flows,
estimated to be derived from continuing use of the asset and from its ultimate disposal, to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the result of the recoverable amount calculation indicates the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is recognized as an impairment loss and charged to profit or loss for the current period. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognized
accordingly. For impairment losses related to an asset group or a set of asset groups, the carrying amount of the assets in the asset group or set of asset groups will be reduced on a pro rata basis. However, the carrying amount of an impaired asset
will not be reduced below the highest of its individual fair value less costs to sell (if determinable), the present value of expected future cash flows (if determinable) and zero.

Once an impairment loss is recognized, it is not reversed in a subsequent period.



| | (10) | Employee benefits
| | ---- | -----------------

Employee
benefits are all forms of considerations given and other relevant expenditures incurred in exchange for services rendered by employees. Except for termination benefits, employee benefits are recognized as a liability in the period in which the
associated services are rendered by employees, with a corresponding increase in cost of relevant assets or expenses in the current period.



| | (a) | Pension benefits
| | --- | ----------------

Pursuant to
the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company has participated a basic pension insurance for the employees arranged by local Labour and Social Security Bureaus. The Company makes contributions to the pension insurance at the applicable
rates based on the amounts stipulated by the government organization. The contributions are capitalized as part of the cost of assets or charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis. When employees retire, the local Labour and Social Security
Bureaus are responsible for the payment of the basic pension benefits to the retired employees.

| | (b) | Housing fund and other social insurances
| | --- | ----------------------------------------

Besides the pension benefits, pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company has participated defined social
security contribution plans for employees, such as a housing fund, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, injury insurance and maternity insurance. The Company makes contributions to the housing fund and other social insurances mentioned
above at the applicable rate(s) based on the employees salaries each month. The contributions are capitalized as part of the cost of assets or charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis.



| | (c) | Termination benefits
| | --- | --------------------

When the
Company terminates the employment relationship with employees before the employment contracts have expired, or provides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, a provision for the termination benefits provided
is recognized in profit or loss when both of the following conditions have been satisfied:



| |  |  | The Company has a formal plan for the termination of employment or has made an offer to employees for voluntary redundancy, which will be implemented
shortly
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company is not allowed to withdraw from termination plan or redundancy offer unilaterally.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (11) | Income tax
| | ---- | ----------

Current tax and
deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss.

Current tax is the expected tax payable calculated at the applicable tax rate
on taxable income for the year, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets arise from
deductible temporary differences, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases, which include the deductible losses and tax credits carry forward to subsequent periods. Deferred
tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

At the balance sheet date, the amount of deferred tax recognized is measured based on the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the
carrying amount of the assets, using tax rates that are expected to be applied in the period when the asset is recovered in accordance with tax laws.

(Expressed in Renminbi)



The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. The
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the
extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.



| | (12) | Provisions and contingent liabilities
| | ---- | -------------------------------------

A provision is recognized for an obligation related to a contingency if the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated
reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows.

In terms of a possible obligation resulting from a past transaction or event, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of uncertain future events or a present obligation resulting from a past transaction or event, where it is not probable that the settlement of the above obligation will cause an outflow of economic benefits, or the amount of the
outflow cannot be estimated reliably, the possible or present obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability.



| | (13) | Revenue recognition
| | ---- | -------------------

Revenue is
the gross inflow of economic benefit arising in the course of the Companys ordinary activities when the inflows result in increase in equity, other than increases relating to contributions from owners. Revenue is recognized in profit or loss
when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company, the revenue and costs can be measured reliably and the following respective conditions are met:



| | (a) | Sale of goods
| | --- | -------------

Revenue from
sale of goods is recognized when all of the general conditions stated above and following conditions are satisfied:



| |  |  | The significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have been transferred to the buyer
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods
sold.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the considerations received or
receivable under the sales contract or agreement.

| | (b) | Rendering of services
| | --- | ---------------------

Revenue
from rendering of services is measured at the fair value of the considerations received or receivable under the contract or agreement.

At the balance sheet date, where the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue from
the rendering of services is recognized in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction based on the progress of work performed.

Where the outcome of rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, if the costs incurred are expected to be recoverable, revenues
are recognized to the extent that the costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable, and an equivalent amount is charged to profit or loss as service cost; if the costs incurred are not expected to be recoverable, the costs incurred are
recognized in profit or loss and no service revenue is recognized.



| | (c) | Interest income
| | --- | ---------------

Interest
income is recognized on a time proportion basis with reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable effective interest rate.



| | (14) | Government grants
| | ---- | -----------------

Government
grants are transfers of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Company at no consideration except for the capital contribution from the government as an investor in the Company. Special funds such as investment grants
allocated by the government, if clearly defined in official documents as part of capital reserve are dealt with as capital contributions, and not regarded as government grants.

A government grant is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Company will comply with
the conditions attaching to the grant.

If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured
at the amount that is received or receivable.

A government grant that compensates the Company for expenses incurred is
recognized in profit or loss immediately.

| | (15) | Borrowing costs
| | ---- | ---------------

Borrowing costs
incurred directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset.

Except for the above, other borrowing costs are recognized as financial expenses in the income statement when incurred.

During the capitalization period, the amount of interest (including amortization of any discount or premium on borrowing) to be
capitalized in each accounting period is determined as follows:



| |  |  | Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of interest to be capitalized is the interest
expense calculated using effective interest rates during the period less any interest income earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Where funds are borrowed generally and used for the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of interest to be capitalized on such
borrowings is determined by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the above amounts of specific borrowings. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the
interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The effective interest rate is determined as
the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flow through the expected life of the borrowing or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the initially recognized amount of the borrowings.

During the capitalization period, exchange differences related to the principal and interest on a specific-purpose borrowing denominated
in foreign currency are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset. The exchange differences related to the principal and interest on foreign currency borrowings other than a specific-purpose borrowing are recognized as a financial
expense in the period in which they are incurred.

The capitalization period is the period from the date of commencement of
capitalization of borrowing costs to the date of cessation of capitalization, excluding any period over which capitalization is suspended. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs
are being incurred and activities of acquisition, construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress, and ceases when the assets become ready for their intended use. Capitalization of borrowing costs is
suspended when the acquisition, construction activities are interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts over three months.

Dividends or distributions of profits proposed in the profit appropriation plan which will be authorised and declared after the balance
sheet date, are not recognized as a liability at the balance sheet date but disclosed in the notes separately.



| | (17) | Related parties
| | ---- | ---------------

If the Company
has the power to control, jointly control or exercise significant influence over another party, or vice versa, or where two or more parties are subject to common control, joint control, or significant influence from another party, they are
considered to be related parties. Related parties may be individuals or enterprises. Enterprises with which the Company is under common control only from the State and that have no other related party relationships are not regarded as related
parties of the Company. Related parties of the Company include, but are not limited to:



| | (a) | the Companys parent
| | --- | --------------------



| | (b) | enterprises that are controlled by the Companys parent
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------

close family members of such individuals.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (18) | Significant accounting estimates and judgments
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in
the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:



| | (a) | Impairment of receivables
| | --- | -------------------------

As
described in Note 3(9)(a), receivables that are measured at amortized cost are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is provided. Objective
evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Company about loss events such as a significant decline in the estimated future cash flow of an individual debtor or the portfolio of debtors, and significant changes
in the financial condition that have an adverse effect on the debtor. If there is an indication that there has been a change in the factors used to determine the provision for impairment, the impairment loss recognized in prior years is reversed.



| | (b) | Impairment of non-financial long-term assets
| | --- | --------------------------------------------

As described in Note 3(9)(b), non-financial long-term assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether the carrying
amount exceeds the recoverable amount of the assets. If any such indication exists, impairment loss is provided.

The
recoverable amount of an asset (asset group) is the greater of its net selling price and its present value of expected future cash flows. Since a market price of the asset (the asset group) cannot be obtained reliably, the fair value of the asset
cannot be estimated reliably. In assessing value in use, significant judgements are exercised over the assets production, selling price, related operating expenses and discount rate to calculate the present value. All relevant materials which
can be obtained are used for estimation of the recoverable amount, including the estimation of the production, selling price and related operating expenses based on reasonable and supportable assumption.



| | (c) | Depreciation and amortization
| | --- | -----------------------------

As described in Notes 3(4) and 3(6), fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over
their useful lives after taking into account residual value. The useful lives are regularly reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortization costs charged in each reporting period. The useful lives are determined based on historical
experiences of similar assets and the estimated technical changes. If there is an indication that there has been a change in the factors used to determine the depreciation or amortization, the amount of depreciation or amortization is revised.

4 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY



| | (1) | Change in accounting policy and its effect
| | --- | ------------------------------------------



| | (a) | Description of and reasons for change in accounting policy
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------

In accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (CAS) Bulletin No. 3 (Bulletin No. 3), newly
issued by the Ministry of Finance in 2009, the Company changed the following significant accounting policy in the current accounting year:



| |  |  | Presentation of the income statement and statement of changes in owners equity
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other comprehensive income for the year and Total comprehensive income for the year are added in the income
statement. Other comprehensive income for the year comprises items of gains or losses net of related tax effects that are not recognized in profit or loss under CAS. Total comprehensive income for the year represents the
total amount of net profit and other comprehensive income.

In the statement of changes in owners equity, the line item
Gains and losses recognized directly in equity together with its breakdown were replaced by the line item Other comprehensive income.

The relevant comparative items have been adjusted accordingly for the above change on the presentation of the income statement and
statement of changes in owners equity (see related items in the income statement and the statement of changes in owners equity).

| | (2) | Income tax
| | --- | ----------

The statutory income
tax rate of the Company is 25%. For the current year, the Company paid income tax at a preferential rate of 10% (2008: 9%).

Pursuant to the Income Tax Law of PRC for Foreign Invested Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises, starting from the year in which a taxable
profit is made after the offset of deductible losses incurred in prior years, the Company is entitled to a preferential tax treatment of a tax-free period for the first and second profit making years and a 50% reduction in the income tax rate for
the third to fifth years. This year is the fourth profit making year.

On March 16, 2007, the Fifth Plenary Session of the
Tenth National Peoples Congress passed the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (the new tax law) which took effect on January 1, 2008, when the current tax law was abolished. The new tax law adopts an uniform tax rate of 25%
for all enterprises including foreign investment enterprises and revokes the current tax exemption, reduction and protective treatments only applicable to foreign invested enterprises. State Council of the PRC passed the implementation guidance
(Implementation Guidance) on December 26, 2007, which set out the details of how the existing preferential income tax rate will be adjusted to the statutory rate of 25%. According to the Implementation Guidance, the Company, which
is eligible for a 100% or 50% relief from PRC Enterprise Income Tax, will continue to enjoy the preferential income tax rate up to its expiring date, after which, the 25% standard rate applies.

| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | Interest rate risk
| | - |  | ------------------

Notes to the financial statements(Continued)

(Expressed in Renminbi)



The Companys risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the
risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companys
activities. The internal audit of the Company undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures.



| | (1) | Credit risk
| | --- | -----------

The Companys
credit risk is primarily attributable to receivables. Exposure to these credit risks are monitored by management on an ongoing basis.

In respect of receivables, the Company has established a credit policy under which individual credit evaluations are performed on all
customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the external ratings of the customers and their bank credit records where available. Receivables are due within 15 to 60 days from the date of billing. Debtors are
requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted. Normally, the Company does not obtain collateral from customers.

In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to some factors, such as ageing.

Majority of sales transactions are settled by upfront payments prior to goods deliveries or bank acceptance notes issued by customers. The
Company has granted credit term to certain customers with good credit ratings and certain related parties. At balance sheet date, the ageing of most accounts receivable is within three months and ageing of most other receivables is within one year,
so the credit risk of the Company is relatively low.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount
of each financial asset, in the balance sheet. The Company does not provide any other guarantees which would expose the Company to credit risk.



| | (2) | Liquidity risk
| | --- | --------------

The Company is
responsible for their own cash management, including short term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval by the Companys board when the borrowings exceed certain predetermined
levels of authority. The Companys policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major
financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The maturity analysis of the long term
debts are disclosed in Note 23.

| | (3) | Interest rate risk
| | --- | ------------------

Interest-bearing financial instruments at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk and fair
value interest risk, respectively. The Company adopts an interest rate policy of ensuring that interest rate risk lies under control.



| | (4) | Foreign currency risk
| | --- | ---------------------

In
respect of accounts receivable and payable denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency, the Company ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when
necessary to address short-term imbalances.



| | (5) | Fair values
| | --- | -----------

All financial
instruments are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at December 31, 2008 and 2009.



| | (6) | Estimation of fair values
| | --- | -------------------------

The
company used the following major methods and assumptions in estimating the fair values.



| | (a) | Receivables
| | --- | -----------

The fair value is
estimated as the present value of the future cash flows, discounted at the market interest rates at the balance sheet date.



| | (b) | Loans
| | --- | -----

The fair value is
estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance sheet date.

39 SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED UNDER THE CHINA ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
FOR BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Unaudited)

The
Companys accounting policies conform with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, which differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Information relating to the nature of such differences is presented below.



| | (a) | Staff and workers bonus and welfare fund
| | --- | -----------------------------------------

Under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, staff and workers bonus and welfare fund should be treated as profit
appropriation.

Under U.S. GAAP, staff and workers bonus and welfare fund is recognized as an expense in the income
statement.



| | (b) | Foreign currency transaction exchange gains and losses
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------

Under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, foreign currency exchange differences on funds borrowed specifically for
construction are capitalized as property, plant and equipment to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs during the construction period.

Under U.S. GAAP, such foreign currency transaction exchange gains and losses are included in current earnings.



| | (c) | Reversal of inventory provision
| | --- | -------------------------------

Under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, when the net realizable value of inventory that has been written down increases
subsequently, the write-down is reversed.

Under U.S. GAAP, a write-down of inventory to market is not reversed for subsequent
recoveries in value.



| | (d) | Deferred income taxes
| | --- | ---------------------

Under
China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, a deferred tax asset resulting from timing differences should be recognized and presented as a deferred tax asset only if there will be sufficient taxable income during the period of their
reversal.

Under U.S. GAAP, deferred income taxes are generally recognized for all temporary differences that exist between the
carrying amounts of all assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases amounts. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent it is more likely than not a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

| | (e) | Presentation of land use rights
| | --- | -------------------------------

Under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, land use rights are classified under Intangible Assets.

Under U.S. GAAP, the costs of such land use rights are considered to be prepaid expenses and are generally classified under Lease
Prepayments in the balance sheet.



| | (f) | Presentation of income statement
| | --- | --------------------------------

Under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, financial expenses and investment income are included in the calculation of
Operating profit.

Under U.S. GAAP, such financial expenses and investment income generally are excluded from
Operating Profit.



| | (g) | Presentation of cash flow statement
| | --- | -----------------------------------

Under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, investment income received is classified as investing activities and interest
expenses paid are classified as financing activities.

Under U.S. GAAP, such investment income received and interest expenses
paid are classified as operating activities.
