CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this annual report that address activities, events or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are hereby
identified as forward-looking statements for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words such as believe,
intend, expect, anticipate, project, estimate, predict, plan and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements address, among others, such issues as:



| |  |  | amount and nature of future development;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | future prices of and demand for our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | future earnings and cash flow;

| |  |  | expansion and growth of our business and operations; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our prospective operational and financial information.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

These statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other
factors we believe are appropriate in particular circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depends on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ
materially from our expectations, including the risks set forth in Item 3. Key Information  Risk Factors and the following:



| |  |  | fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in prices of our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | failures or delays in achieving production from development projects;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential acquisitions and other business opportunities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued availability of capital and financing;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic, market and business conditions, including volatility in interest rates, changes in foreign exchange rates and volatility in commodity
markets; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other risks and factors beyond our control.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this annual report are qualified by these cautionary statements and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the various important factors set forth above and elsewhere in this annual report, including the risks set forth in Item 3. Key Information  Risk
Factors.. In addition, we cannot assure you that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected effect on us or our business or operations.

|(a) | After the implementation of share capital increase from the capital reserve under the domestic share reform in December 2013, total shares increased from 7,200,000,000
shares to 10,800,000,000 shares. See Item 4. Information on the Company  A. History and Development of the Company  Domestic Share Reform. The calculation of earnings per share is retrospectively restated based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding of 10,800,000,000 in each of 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively as if these shares were in issue since January 1, 2011. Earnings per ADS are calculated on the basis that one ADS is equivalent to 100
H Shares.

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.

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 the sale of refined oil and 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, 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 our product prices in the regional and global markets. Due to the decrease in tariff charges, the removal of other restrictions on importation and the Chinese governments gradual
relaxation of its control of the allocation of products and pricing, many of our products have become increasingly vulnerable to the cyclical nature of regional and global petroleum and petrochemical markets, which may adversely affect our
operations.

We consume large amounts of crude oil to manufacture our products of which more than 90% is typically imported.
In 2015, crude oil costs accounted for RMB32.391 billion, or 51.61% of our annual cost of sales. As a result, changes in crude oil prices can affect our profitability. In recent years, due to various reasons, the price of crude oil has fluctuated
significantly. We cannot rule out the possibility of the occurrence of certain global emergencies which might disrupt our crude oil supply. 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 typically 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. Given that the increase of the sales prices of our products may lag behind the increase of crude oil costs, we may fail to completely cover the increased costs by increasing our sales
prices, particularly where government regulations restrict the prices of certain of our fuel products. In particular, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and liquefied petroleum gas are subject to government price controls at present. In 2013, 2014 and
2015 approximately 49.11%, 48.02% and 40.81% of our net sales were from such products subject to price controls. Although the current price-setting mechanism for refined petroleum products in China allows the Chinese government to adjust price in
the PRC market when the average international crude oil price fluctuates beyond certain levels within a certain time period (see Item 4. Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Product Pricing), the Chinese
government still retains discretion as to whether or when to adjust the prices of the refined oil products. The Chinese government generally exercises certain price control over refined oil products once international crude oil prices experience a
sustained rise or become significantly volatile. For instance, some of our fuel products are required to be sold to designated distributors (such as the subsidiaries of Sinopec Corp.). Because we cannot freely sell our fuel products to take
advantage of opportunities for higher prices, we may not be able to fully cover increases in crude oil prices by increasing the sale prices of our products, which has had and will possibly 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 expenditure for 2016 of approximately RMB1,700
million (U.S.$264.43 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, subject 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 of March 31, 2016, we had an aggregate outstanding indebtedness of approximately RMB1,213 million (U.S.$192.9
million). Most of our borrowings 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 off
existing loans. Sinopec Corp., our controlling shareholder, did not provide any guarantee or credit support for our debt for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

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 condition of 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 borrowings to finance capital expenditures and operations, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if we fail to obtain sufficient funding for our operations or development plans.

We could face increasing competition.

Our principal market, Eastern China,
which is comprised of Shanghai, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian, has enjoyed stronger economic growth and a higher demand for petrochemical products than other regions of China. As a result, we believe that our competitors
will try to expand their sales and build up their distribution networks in our principal market. We believe this will have an 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 treatments and regional presence, and may use these advantages to compete with us in our target market.

##### Table of Contents

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

As of March 31, 2016, Sinopec Corp. owned 50.56% of our shares. Accordingly, it has voting and management control
over us, and its interests may be different from 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. Sinopec Corp. may also 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. Additionally, Sinopec Corp. may leverage its controlling
shareholder position to influence our decisions with regard to the manufacturing and operation, allocation of financial resources and appointment and removal of senior management members, which could adversely affect us or our minority shareholders.

We have also engaged from time to time and will continue to engage in a variety of transactions with Sinopec Corp., Sinopec
Group, the controlling company of Sinopec Corp., and their various subsidiaries or affiliates which provide a number of services to us, including the supply of raw materials, product distribution and sales agency, project design and installment
service, petrochemical industry related insurance and financial services. We also sell oil and petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its affiliates. 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. Major Shareholders and Related Party
Transactions  B. Related Party Transactions. Our business and results of operations could be adversely affected if Sinopec Corp. or Sinopec Group 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.

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 payments and fines 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 (i.e., waste water,
waste gas and waste residue). In addition, our production and operations require permits that are subject to renewal, modification and revocation. In February 2014, the Environmental Protection Bureau of Jinshan District imposed a fine of RMB80,000
on us because we commenced the operation of the environmental protection facility that supports the continuous polyester testing plant of the Polyester Fiber Research Institute under our Polyester Fiber Department without complying with the required
inspection and acceptance procedures for the facility after we completed the upgrading of some of its equipment in 2006. See Item 4. Information of the Company  B. Business Overview  Environmental Protection. 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 (including the local governments), however, has moved, and
may move further, toward the adoption of more regulations and more stringent environmental standards. Chinese national or local authorities may also apply more rigorous enforcement of such regulations which would require us to incur additional
expenditures on environmental matters.

Our operations are exposed to risks relating to operating hazards and production
safety and we have limited insurance coverage for resulting losses.

Our operations involve the handling and storage of
explosives and other hazardous articles. In addition, our operations involve the use of heavy machinery, which involves inherent risks that cannot be entirely eliminated through our preventive efforts. As a result, we may encounter fires, explosions
and other unexpected incidents during our operations, which may cause personal injuries or death, property damage, environmental damage, interruption of operations and reputational damages to us. Each of such incidents could have a material adverse
impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We maintain a package of insurance coverage plan through Sinopec
Group on our property, facilities and inventory. In addition, we maintain insurance policies for such assets as the engineering construction projects and products in transit with third-party commercial insurance companies. We carry a third party
liability insurance with a coverage capped at RMB50 million to cover claims, subject to deductibles, 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. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all the financial losses caused by operating hazards. Resulting losses required to be compensated or otherwise paid for by us due to such operating hazards that are
not fully insured against may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

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

The Chinese central and local 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;

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

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 are unable to predict 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.

We face increasing foreign competition in our lines of business.

China joined the WTO on December 11, 2001 and had 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 increasing competition from foreign companies and imports. In 2016,
we expect the world economy to recover slowly and the growth in the petrochemical industry to remain sluggish. In addition, competition for our products has increased, as many overseas companies have switched their focus to sales in China.
Furthermore, tariff reductions could reduce our profit margins or otherwise negatively impact our revenue from certain products, including a small number of significant products. The Chinese government may also reduce the tariffs imposed on
production equipment that we may import in the future.

Changes in Chinas economic, political or social conditions or
government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Substantially all of
our operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in China generally and by continued
economic growth in China as a whole.

The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many
respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market
forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government.
In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over Chinas economic growth through
allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth
has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall
Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. In addition,
the Chinese government has implemented in the past certain measures, including interest rate increases, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, and since 2012, Chinas economic
growth has slowed down. Any prolonged slowdown in the Chinese economy may reduce the demand for our products and services and materially and adversely affect our business and 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 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 currencies, 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 the ADSs; 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 (SAFE) 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. 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 SAFE. 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 necessary for our business. In that case, our business may be materially adversely affected, and we may default on our
obligations.

The change of currency policy and the fluctuation of Renminbi might adversely affect our business and
operating results.

The exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. Dollar or other foreign currencies might
fluctuate and be affected by the change in Chinas political and economic conditions and Chinas foreign exchange policies. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S.
dollar, and the RMB appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. However, the Peoples Bank of China, or the PBOC, regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to limit fluctuations in RMB exchange
rates and achieve policy goals. During the period between July 2008 and June 2010, the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar had been stable and traded within a narrow range. However, the RMB fluctuated significantly during that period
against other freely traded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. Since June 2010, the RMB has started to slowly appreciate against the U.S. dollar, though there have been periods when the U.S. dollar has appreciated against the RMB. On
August 11, 2015, the PBOC allowed the RMB to depreciate by approximately 2% against the U.S. dollar. It is difficult to predict how long such depreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar may last and when and how the relationship between the RMB
and the U.S. dollar may change again. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a flexible currency policy.

A small portion of our cash and cash equivalents is denominated in foreign currencies
(including the U.S. Dollar). The appreciation in the value of Renminbi against foreign currencies (including the U.S. Dollar) may cause a decrease in the Renminbi value of our cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in foreign currencies. In
addition, the appreciation of Renminbi may harm the exports of our downstream manufacturers, thus adversely affecting the market demand for our products.

As most of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi, and most of our purchase of crude oil and some equipment and repayments of certain borrowings are made in foreign currencies, any depreciation of the
Renminbi would increase our cost and adversely affect our capacity of making profits. In addition, any depreciation of the Renminbi could adversely affect the value of the dividends of our H shares and ADSs, which we declare in Renminbi and pay in
foreign currencies.

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 or otherwise undeveloped 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 the continuing
improvement of the PRC Company Law and Securities Law, Chinese legal provisions for the protection of shareholders rights and access to information are different from those applicable to companies formed in the United States, Hong Kong, the

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 defined by our Articles of Association regarding the Companys affairs to arbitration. You will have no
legal right to a court proceeding with respect to such disputes.

Our Articles of Association require holders of our H
shares or ADSs having a claim against, or a dispute with, us, our directors, supervisors, executive officers or a holder of our domestic shares relating to any rights or obligations conferred or imposed by our Articles of Association, the Chinese
Company Law or other relevant Chinese laws or 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 provide that any arbitration decisions with respect to such disputes or claims shall be final and binding on all parties. As a result, you will have no legal right to a court proceeding with respect to
such disputes.

Our auditor, like other independent registered public accounting firms operating in China, is not permitted
to be subject to inspection by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the SEC, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States
and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or PCAOB, is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by PCAOB to assess its compliance with the applicable professional
standards. Because our auditor is located in China, a jurisdiction where PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the PRC authorities, our auditor, like other independent registered public accounting firms operating
in China, is currently not inspected by PCAOB.

Inspections of other firms that PCAOB has conducted outside of China have
identified deficiencies in those firms audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The inability of PCAOB to conduct inspections of independent
registered public accounting firms operating in China makes it more difficult to regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our auditors audit procedures or quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of
PCAOB.

Proceedings instituted recently by the SEC against the Big Four PRC-based accounting
firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, could result in our financial statements being determined to not be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

In December 2012, the SEC brought administrative proceedings against the Big Four accounting firms, including our independent registered
public accounting firm, in China, alleging that they had refused to produce audit work papers and other documents related to certain other China-based companies under investigation by the SEC for potential accounting fraud. On January 22, 2014,
an initial administrative law decision, or Initial Decision, was issued, censuring these accounting firms and suspending four of the five firms from practicing before the SEC for a period of six months. The accounting firms filed a petition for
review of the Initial Decision to the SEC. On February 6, 2015, the Big Four China-based accounting firms each agreed to a censure and to pay a fine to the SEC to settle the dispute and avoid suspension of their ability to practice before the
SEC and audit U.S.-listed companies. The settlement required the firms to follow detailed procedures and to seek to provide the SEC with access to Chinese firms audit documents via the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC. If
future document productions fail to meet specified criteria, the SEC retains authority to impose a variety of additional remedial measures on the firms depending on the nature of the failure. While we cannot predict if the SEC will further review
the four China-based accounting firms compliance with specified criteria or if the results of such a review would result in the SEC imposing penalties such as suspensions or restarting the administrative proceedings, if the accounting firms
are subject to additional remedial measures, our ability to file our financial statements in compliance with SEC requirements could be impacted. A determination that we have not timely filed financial statements in compliance with SEC requirements
could ultimately lead to the delisting of our ADSs from the New York Stock Exchange or the termination of the registration of our H shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or both, which would substantially reduce or effectively terminate
the trading of our ADSs in the United States.

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.

Generally, if, for any taxable year, at least 75% of
our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the value of our assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company
(PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not expect to be a PFIC for our current taxable year. However, since PFIC status depends on the composition of our income and the composition and value of our assets from time to time,
there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we are characterized as a PFIC, U.S. investors may suffer adverse tax consequences, including increased U.S. tax liabilities and reporting requirements. For
further discussion of the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences of our possible classification as a PFIC, see Item 10. Additional Information  E. Taxation  U.S. Taxation.

We have in the past sourced a small portion of crude oil from Iran that may be targeted by economic sanctions under relevant U.S.
laws, and if such activities are determined by the U.S. governmental authorities as sanctionable activities, we could be sanctioned or otherwise penalized.

The United States has adopted a number of measures since 1996 that provide for the possible imposition of sanctions against non-U.S. companies engaged in certain activities in and with Iran in the energy
and other sectors, including Executive Orders 13622 (effective July 31, 2012 and revoked January 16, 2016), 13628 (effective October 9, 2012), and 13645 (effective July 1, 2013 and revoked January 16, 2016), the Iran Threat
Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (ITRSHRA) enacted August 10, 2012 and the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act (IFCA) enacted January 2, 2013. The sanctionable activities include certain
investments, the provision of goods, services, technology, or support that could contribute to the development of petroleum and petrochemical resources or the production of refined petroleum products in Iran, the exportation of refined petroleum
products to Iran, the transportation of crude oil from Iran, or the engagement in a significant transaction for the purchase or acquisition of petroleum or petroleum products from Iran, and the engagement in transactions with certain Iranian
specially designated nationals and blocked persons (SDNs) as identified and published by U.S. Department of the Treasurys Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, the agency primarily responsible for administering U.S. sanctions
and embargoes.

We have sourced a small portion of our crude oil from Iran in the past through Sinopec Corp., our current
controlling shareholder, and independent third parties, and we may continue to purchase crude oil from Iran. In addition, Sinopec Corp. and Sinopec Group, the controlling shareholder of Sinopec Corp., have engaged in operations in or purchasing
crude oil sourced from Iran and may continue to do so in the future. We have no control over the activities of Sinopec Group or Sinopec Corp. in connection with any activities that they may conduct in Iran.

If our purchases of crude oil from Iran and transactions related thereto are determined to
be sanctionable activities by the U.S. President and/or the relevant U.S. governmental authorities, we may be subject to five or more of the twelve sanctions options available under the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 (as amended) (ISA) and
the ITRSHRA, which include restrictions on bank financing, outright blocking of the Companys property within U.S. jurisdiction, under the control of U.S. persons anywhere in the world, and prohibition of U.S. persons from investing or
purchasing a significant amount of equity or debt instruments of the Company. Similar sanctions may also be imposed under the Executive Orders cited above, the IFCA, and other U.S. laws. In addition, many states in the United States have adopted
legislation requiring state pension funds to divest themselves of securities in any company with active business operations in Iran. We cannot assure that we or any of our affiliates will not be sanctioned by the U.S. President and/or the relevant
U.S. governmental authorities in light of the activities by us or our affiliates in Iran. The imposition of any such sanctions on us or our affiliates will have a negative impact on our business, reputation or stock price. In addition, purchase of
crude oil by Sinopec Corp. subsidiaries that supply us with raw materials may from time to time be sourced from National Iranian Oil Company. This entity has been identified by the U.S. government as an SDN and sanctioned under various laws,
including for assisting the government of Iran to avoid sanction and for engaging in activities related to nuclear proliferation. Under Executive Order 13645, the U.S. President can sanction non-U.S. companies that engage in transactions with SDNs
such as the National Iranian Oil Company. To the extent we indirectly (or directly) purchase raw materials from this entity, we risk potential U.S. government sanctions. Even absent any U.S. government sanctions, we risk adverse publicity in the
world markets, which may impair our reputation and business.

Sinopec Group, the controlling shareholder of Sinopec Corp.
which is our current controlling shareholder, or its affiliates current or future activities in certain countries are the subject of economic sanctions under relevant U.S. laws and could result in negative media and investor attention to us
and possible imposition of sanctions on Sinopec Group, which could materially and adversely affect our shareholders.

Sinopec Group undertakes, from time to time and without our involvement, overseas investments and operations in the oil and gas industry,
including the exploration and production of oil and gas, refining and Liquefied Natural Gas, or LNG, projects. Sinopec Groups overseas asset portfolio includes oil and gas development projects in Iran, Sudan and Syria, countries subject to
U.S. sanctions and embargoes. We cannot predict the interpretation or implementation of government policy at the U.S. federal, state or local levels with respect to any current or future activities by Sinopec Group or its affiliates in countries or
with individuals or entities that are the subject of U.S. sanctions. Similarly, we cannot predict whether U.S. sanctions will be further tightened, or the impact that such actions may have on Sinopec Group. It is possible that the United States
could subject Sinopec Group to sanctions due to these activities. Certain U.S. state and local governments and colleges have restrictions on the investment of public funds or endowment funds, respectively, in companies that are members of corporate
groups with activities in certain countries that are the subject of U.S. sanctions. These investors may not wish to invest, and may divest their investment, in us because of our relationship with Sinopec Group and its investments and activities in
those U.S. government sanctioned countries. It is possible that, as a result of activities by Sinopec Group or its affiliates in countries that are the subject of U.S. sanctions, we may be subject to negative media or investor attention, which may
distract management, consume internal resources and affect investors perception of our company.

Further, the ISA
authorizes the imposition of sanctions on companies that engage in certain activities in and with Iran, especially in Irans energy sector. It is possible that Sinopec Group or its affiliates engage in activities that are targeted for sanction
purposes by the ISA or other U.S. laws. If the U.S. President determines that Sinopec Group or one of its affiliates in fact engaged in the targeted activities, he would be required under the ISA to impose on Sinopec Group or its affiliates at least
five sanctions from among twelve sanctions options available under the ISA, which range from restrictions on U.S. exports or bank financing to outright blocking of Sinopec Group or its affiliates property within the U.S. or in the possession
or control of U.S. persons anywhere in the world. In addition, the IFCA requires the U.S. President to block the property of persons and entities within U.S. jurisdiction or control of U.S. persons if he determines that, among other things, such
persons or entities are engaged in certain transactions involving the energy, shipping or shipbuilding sectors of Iran or with certain SDNs. It also requires the U.S. President to impose five or more sanctions under the ISA on a person that he
determines has knowingly, on or after July 1, 2013, sold, supplied or transferred to or from Iran precious metals or certain other materials (including graphite, aluminum, steel, coal and certain software) if used for specified purposes. If the
U.S. President determines that Sinopec Group, or an entity it owns or controls, had engaged in any such activities and if the most extreme sanction under the ISA or other U.S. sanctions laws, blocking, were applied to Sinopec Groups property,
including controlled subsidiaries, Sinopec Group could be prohibited from engaging in business activities in the United States or with U.S. individuals or entities, and U.S. transactions in our securities and distributions to U.S. individuals and
entities with respect to our securities could also be prohibited.

In addition, pursuant to the IFCA, Executive Order 13645
and other U.S. laws, the U.S. government can sanction financial institutions anywhere in the world that engage in certain Iran related transactions. Such sanctions include prohibiting the financial institution from opening, or imposing strict
conditions on maintaining, a correspondent or payable through account in the United States. The potential for financial institutions to be sanctioned for Iran related activities may impact our ability to engage in financial transactions related to
Iran transactions. Although many of the sanctions discussed above were terminated on January 16, 2016 pursuant to the commitments of the United States under Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, such termination would not affect sanctionable
activities occurring prior to that date.

The trading prices of our ADSs and H Shares have been volatile and may continue to be
volatile regardless of our operating performance.

The trading prices of our ADSs and H Shares have been and may continue to be subject to
wide fluctuations. The market price for our ADSs may continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:



| |  |  | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | conditions in petroleum and petrochemical markets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the operating performance or market valuations of other petroleum and petrochemical companies;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations of exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. dollar; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic or political conditions in China or elsewhere in the world.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for companies with operations in China in particular, have experienced
volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. The securities of some China-based companies that have listed their securities in the United States have experienced significant volatility since their initial
public offerings in recent years, including, in some cases, substantial declines in the trading prices of their securities. The trading performances of these companies securities after their offerings may affect the attitudes of investors
towards Chinese companies listed in the United States in general, which consequently may impact the trading performance of our ADSs, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, any negative news or perceptions about inadequate
corporate governance practices or fraudulent accounting, corporate structure or other matters of other Chinese companies may also negatively affect the attitudes of investors towards Chinese companies in general, including us, regardless of whether
we have engaged in any inappropriate activities. In particular, the global financial crisis and the ensuing economic recessions in many countries have contributed and may continue to contribute to extreme volatility in the global stock markets.
These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our ADSs.



|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 Sinopec Group, 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.

Construction Projects

The Complex and we, as its successor, have completed six 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. The fifth stage of construction
(2003-2009) was mainly designed to optimize our structure and realize sustainable development, and mainly included 3,300,000t/a diesel hydrogenation unit, 1,200,000t/a delayed coking unit and other projects implemented for removing
bottlenecks in refinery, the building of new 600,000t/a PX hydrocarbon complex unit, 150,000t/a C5 segregation unit, 380,000t/a ethane unit, etc.

##### Table of Contents

The Company commenced the sixth stage of construction in 2010 (the Phase 6
Project) and completed the project in December 2012. The key component of the Phase 6 Project was the refinery revamping and expansion project. The Phase 6 Project also included the technology development and fine chemicals projects. The
purpose of the Phase 6 Project was to improve the Companys overall industrial structure, core competitiveness and the capability of maintaining sustainable developments. The Phase 6 Project was focused on the objective to achieve intensive
utilization of natural resources and the build-up of a complete set of facilities, in accordance with the fundamental industrial model of integrating oil refining and petrochemical production. Through this project, the Company further enhanced its
oil refining process and strengthened and expanded the Companys core businesses while continuing to explore the development of fine chemicals and products with high value added. See Item 4. Information on the Company  D.
Property, Plant and Equipment  Capital Expansion Program.

Over the past four decades, the Company has 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 were 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 commenced listing on the HKSE on July 26, 1993. Our ADSs, each representing 100 H Shares, are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Our domestic shares are listed on
the Shanghai Stock 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 domestic shares were included in the Shanghai Stock
Exchange Stock Index.

Domestic Share Reform

Pursuant to regulations issued by the CSRC, we were required to obtain shareholder approval for and implement certain share reform. As a
result of such share reform, all non-publicly tradable domestic shares of the Company would be converted into publicly tradable domestic shares and may be sold publicly on the Shanghai Stock Exchange subject to any applicable lock-up period.

In connection with the share reform, the Distribution Proposal regarding 2013 Interim Distribution of Cash Dividend and the
Conversion of Capital Fund and Surplus Reserve into Shares of the Company (Proposal) was approved at the Companys 2013 First Extraordinary General Meeting, 2013 First A Shareholders Class Meeting and 2013 First H Shareholders Class
Meeting held on October 22, 2013. According to the Proposal, based on the Companys total share capital of 7,200,000,000 shares as of June 30, 2013, RMB2,421 million of the capital surplus of the Company from its share premium account
was used to fund the issue of 3.36 new bonus shares with respect to every 10 issued and outstanding shares, the surplus reserve was used to fund the issue of 1.64 new bonus shares with respect to every 10 issued and outstanding shares, and an

Business Strategy

In 2016, we expect that our business and operating conditions will remain challenging. We will continue our efforts to ensure high quality
and effectiveness in our production. We will also endeavor to maintain the safety and environmental protection standards while realizing sustained promising operating results in 2016. We will seek to further deepen system optimization, lower costs
and enhance efficiency in order to maintain our sustainable growth.

To achieve our business objectives in 2016, we will
strive to fulfill the following goals:

Further implement safety and environmental protection standards

We have established a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) accountability system and will continue to implement various
mechanisms to prevent occurrence of any accidents. On top of optimizing our local corporate co-operation mechanism, we will increase our efforts on hazards examination and on-site supervision and improving safety level of our oil and gas pipelines.
We will enhance our supervision of HSE process to seek to eliminate potential safety hazards. By establishing the work mechanism and management system of hazard and operability study (HAZOP), we will fully commence the risk assessment on
HAZOP. Meanwhile, we will formulate the environmental protection accountability system and implement such system to increase the awareness of environmental protection. We will continue the examination of environmental protection hazards as well as
our leak detection and repair (LDAR) work. We will also strive to enhance supervision and checks of occupational hygiene and seek to optimize the on-site safety protection measures for production and operation, so as to safeguard
occupational health.

Ensure stable production

By enhancing the management and production organization and co-ordination, we endeavor to improve the management of process technology,
stringently monitor our operation and minimize non-scheduled shut-downs of our facilities. We will focus on modification and shut-down check and repair for our production facilities, so as to balance raw materials management and to ensure the stable
operation of our overall production system. We will continue to monitor the safety and efficiency of our equipment, and enhance our management of equipment failures by strengthening examination and repair to seek to ensure safe operation of
equipment.

Optimize production process to reduce operation cost and expenditure

Adhering to the practice of daily calculation of products marginal effectiveness and weekly identification of the corporate
potential, we will utilize our major product optimization model and enhance our tracking of contributions from chemical devices, and then we will adjust the respective workload on a timely basis in accordance with the change of marginal
effectiveness. Based on the change in price of crude oil and refined oil products, we will optimize and adjust our refined oil product structure while increasing the proportion and production volume of high-end gasoline. We aim to enhance the
recovery rate of olefins and reduce the production cost of ethylene by using advanced technologies. We will adjust the raw materials for hydrogen production and fuel structure pursuant to the price of natural gas and liquefied gas, so as to reduce
production costs. Apart from continuous cost control in the course of production and operation, we will place efforts on cutting costs and expenses. We strive to strengthen financial risk prevention and control, while enhancing research on fiscal
tax policies and proactively taking advantage of the benefits under various tax policies.

Foster project construction,
technology development and digitalization

We will organize and coordinate the upgrading and modification of our newly
built projects and existing equipment. We strive to strengthen our efforts on handling hazards, energy conservation and emission reduction as well as investment in industry upgrading projects. Apart from gradually eliminating backward production
capacity, progress on projects such as modification on the desulfurization of thermal boilers is expected to be accelerated, and we expect to commence construction of projects such as ultra-low discharge & energy conservation
project in Congeneration Unit of Thermal Power Divisions and 300,000-ton per year of alkylation production. While strengthening scientific research and development, we will focus on the implementation of key scientific research projects such as
carbon fiber and catalyzed conversion of diesel and hydrogen, as well as technological development for new products, industrialization development and market expansion to adjust the product structure. We will further regulate the application of
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and integrate information technology into every aspect of corporate production. In
addition, we will further expand the application of advanced process control (APC) system and facilitate the construction of digitalization projects, including the comprehensive statistics information system.

Strive to enhance internal management

We strive to optimize our corporate appraisal system and operation flow by optimizing procedures along the supply chain from crude oil to
product. We aim to maximize our effectiveness and will refine our performance appraisal mode. While strengthening our team building and employee management, we will also seek to optimize our staff structure and enhance our training system to improve
the quality of our staff. We will endeavor to create a harmonious and stable environment for corporate development.

Principal Products

We produce four principal types of products with different specifications, including synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products. We use many of the important
petroleum products and intermediate petrochemicals we produce in producing our own downstream products.

In 2015, the volume
of our production increased slightly, with a total volume of products amounting to 13,866,200 tons, representing an increase of 2.18% over the previous year. The increase was primarily because we reduced frequencies of overhaul of our production
plants and our production facilities operated stably in 2015.

Production Processes

The key sectors in our vertically integrated production plants 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) Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO), and (5) residual oil. Part of the Naphtha and part of the AGO is fed to the ethylene units primarily to produce ethylene and
propylene. Part of the Naphtha is fed to the reforming prehydrogenation units to produce refined Naphtha which will be used for the production of Aromatics. 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 polyvinyl alcohol (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
low-density polyethylene (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

In 2015, we continued to strengthen our advantages in
refining and chemical integration and leverage the strong adaptability of our refining plants to process more high-sulfur crude oil; we used a Process Industry Modeling System (PIMS) to determine the cost performance of crude oil to
further improve the cost control of crude oil purchases; and the total volume of the main types of oil with high cost performance purchased in the whole year of 2015 accounted for 96.6% of the total purchase of crude oil, reducing the overall cost
of crude oil we purchased.

To enhance the overall profitability, we optimized our ethylene cracking stocks, adjusted
and improved our natural gas and fuel gas structure, optimized our hydrogen system, reduced the emission and increased the efficiency of flare gas, increased the outputs of gasoline and aviation kerosene, and optimized naphtha, residual oil and wax
oil processing lines. By reducing the output of paraxylene, we increased our supply of high-octane gasoline blending components to produce more gasoline. By substituting aviation kerosene hydrogenation for diesel hydrogenation and upgrading the
quality of 3.3 million tons of diesel through hydrogenation, we further optimized the structure of our finished oil products, achieving a diesel to gasoline ratio of 1.38:1 for 2015. We strengthened our tracking of the margin contribution of
our units, and continuously carried out daily profitability measurement for each product so as to promptly detect changes in profitability, quickly adjust the load and running schedule of our production units and afford priority to the production of
products with high profitability and market demand.

Crude Oil

Crude oil is our primary raw material and the most significant raw material we purchase from outside sources. In 2015, crude oil accounted
for approximately 51.61% of our total cost of sales. Accordingly, the supply and price of crude oil are key factors in determining our profitability.

Supply and Transportation All crude oil required by us, whether from domestic or foreign sources, is purchased through the channels of Sinopec Corp. as an agent. During 2015, 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 our planned volume of crude oil
processing in 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 at market prices and we must consult Sinopec Group to
sell elsewhere.

We have received confirmation from Sinopec Corp. that it will purchase on our behalf 14.6 million tons
of imported crude oil in 2016. Sinopec Corp. has further confirmed that, subject to Chinas national crude oil policy and our actual production needs, it will continue to purchase on our behalf sufficient quantities and appropriate kinds of
crude oil, including domestic offshore and imported crude oil, to satisfy our anticipated annual needs. We anticipate that we will fully utilize our supply of crude oil in 2016. We believe that the mix of crude oil feedstock currently available is
satisfactory for our 2016 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 amount of 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 supply 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 that as we have been significantly increasing usage of imported crude oil, we will continue to be able to obtain from the market such imported crude oil that is compatible with
our refining equipment. The overall mix of foreign versus domestic crude oil we process in 2016 will depend on a variety of factors, including the amount of future supply of domestic offshore crude oil and the availability, price, quality,
processing profitability and compatibility with our refining capabilities of imported crude oil. Provided there are no significant modifications to the existing channels of crude oil supply, we believe that sufficient supplies of crude oil will be
available on the domestic or international markets for our 2016 production capacity and goals.

In 2015, our crude oil was
sourced as follows:



|                            |  |  |        |  
|--------------------------- |  |  | ------ | -
|Domestic offshore crude oil |  |  | 1.38   | %
|Imported crude oil          |  |  | 98.62  | %
|                            |  |  |        |  
|Total:                      |  |  | 100.00 | %
|                            |  |  |        |  

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 2-week 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 sold to us at prevailing international market prices. The average cost of imported crude oil and domestic offshore crude oil in 2015 was RMB2,521 (U.S.$389.18) per ton and RMB2,590 (U.S.$399.83) per ton, respectively. In 2015, we
processed 14.6million tons of imported crude oil and 0.19 million tons of domestic offshore crude oil (including 2.01 million tons of crude oil processed on a sub-contract basis).

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 China National Petroleum Corporation (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.

On
March 26, 2013, the NDRC promulgated Circular on Further Improving the Pricing Mechanism of Refined Oil (Fa Gai Jia Ge [2013] No. 624) to adjust the existing refined oil pricing mechanism, which include, among other things,
(i) shortening of price reference period from 22 working days to10 working days; (ii) lifting the 4% downward and upward fluctuation cap on benchmark crude oil prices; and (iii) adjusting the composition of domestic benchmark crude
oil types in response to changes of types of imported crude oil and crude oil trading in the overseas market. In the cases of changes such as significant increase in domestic prices or significant fluctuations of crude oil price, the NDRC may issue
additional procedural guidelines, such as implementing ad hoc suspension or delay of price adjustment upon the approval by the State Council.

We purchase crude oil through Sinopec Corp. and its affiliates from the sources selected and in the 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.

In 2015, as the global economic growth remained slow, the demand for petroleum decreased. The
shale gas revolution in the U.S. significantly increased petroleum supply. The international crude oil price fluctuated drastically due to the U.S. dollars entry into a bullish period after the end of the U.S.s quantitative easing policy
in the fourth quarter of 2014, the OPEC member states maintenance of their crude oil outputs to retain their market shares, and geopolitical and some other factors. In 2015, the average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price
on the U.S. mercantile exchanges was U.S.$48.761/barrel, representing a decrease of 48% from U.S.$93.14/barrel in 2014. In 2015, the average price of Brent crude oil on the London Intercontinental Exchange was U.S.$53.598/barrel, representing a
decrease of 46% from U.S.$ 99.45/barrel in 2014; and in 2015, the average price of crude oil in Dubai was U.S.$50.91/barrel, representing a decrease of 47.33% from U.S.$ 96.66/barrel in 2014.

For the year ended December 31, 2015 we processed a total of 14.795 million tons of crude oil (including 2.01 million tons
of crude oil processed on a sub-contract basis), representing an increase of 0.625 million tons, or 4.41%, over the previous year. Of the crude oil we processed in 2015, domestic offshore oil accounted for 0.193 million tons and imported
crude oil accounted for 14.603 million tons. After the launching of the refinery revamping and expansion project as part of Phase 6 Project in 2012, we enhanced the adaptability of the crude oil and significantly improved the ability to process
the relatively low-cost high-sulfur crude oil in 2015. The average unit cost of crude oil processed (by us) in 2015 was RMB2,533.46/ton (RMB4,618.68 /ton in 2014), representing a decrease of 45.15% over the previous year. Our total cost of crude oil
processed reached RMB32.39 billion in 2015, representing a decrease of 45.62% compared to RMB59.56 billion for the previous year, which represented 51.61% of the total cost of sales.

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 is primarily dependent on coal price and 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 2016 will be approximately 2.1 million tons. In 2015, we
consumed approximately 2.04 million tons of coal, an increase from 2014 of 0.06 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
natural gas, MX, methanol, ammonia, sodium hydroxide, sulfur, acetone, acrylonitrile, PTA, propylene and a variety of catalytic agents. In 2015, the total cost of these materials accounted for approximately 15.13% 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
2015 that were subject to planned distribution by Sinopec Group, sales by agents and sales based on our own discretion accounted for 59.80%, 38.53% and 2.67%, 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, reduce horizontal competition and
enhance our overall bargaining power, 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 trading accounts in 2015. In general we managed to maintain a stable correlation between production and sales in 2015.

Product breakdown

Synthetic Fibers In 2015, 4.7% 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 16.50% of our sales of synthetic fibers in 2015.

Resins and Plastics  In 2015, approximately 8.33% of our resins and plastics sales were to provincial and
municipal government trading companies and approximately 58.46% were sold to industrial users. No single customer accounted for more than 2.78% of our sales of resins and plastics in 2015.

Intermediate Petrochemicals We sell a variety of intermediate petrochemical products, among which the sale volume of
petroleum benzene and paraxylene was relatively high in 2015. Secco is the principal outside consumer of our petroleum benzene. In 2015, we sold 145,500 tons of petroleum benzene to Secco, representing 40.46% of our total 2015 production of such
product.

Jiaxing Petrochemical Company Limited and Oriental Petrochemical (Shanghai) Corporation
(Oriental) are the principal outside consumers of our paraxylene. In 2015, we sold 334,300 tons and 130,800 tons of paraxylene, representing 50.67% and 19.83% of our total 2015 production of such product, to Jiaxing Petrochemical
Company Limited and Oriental respectively, at prices mutually agreed upon by the relevant parties.

Petroleum Products In 2015, our primary gasoline and diesel customer was Sinopec Huadong Sales Company Limited.

Trading of
Petrochemical Products In 2015, our largest trading customer for petrochemical products was Sinopec Chemical Commercial Holding Company Limited.

Product Pricing

Most of our 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 may sometimes be below our costs. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, approximately 49.11%, 48.02% and 40.81% of our net sales, respectively, were from products subject to price controls. Price controls may apply to these products in various
ways. Such price 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).

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 99.70% of our products in volume were sold in 2015. In
addition, we believe the limitation in transportation infrastructure in China and the difficulties involved in transporting petrochemical products force petrochemical companies in China, including us, to compete primarily on a regional basis. In
2015, 88.67% 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 in business model 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 accordance with its WTO commitments, 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 are facing increasing competition from foreign companies and imports. On
the other hand, we think that Chinas WTO entry and increasing foreign investments in China have contributed and will continue to contribute to the growth of investment and business in China, resulting in an 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 2015, we had an approximate 0.6% share of total domestic polyester and acrylic consumption while imports had an approximate 1.04% share.

In 2015, we had an approximate 2.71% share of total domestic petroleum products market while imports had an approximate 4.54% 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 2015, we sold
approximately 99.55% of our petroleum products in Eastern China.

Investments

We established Secco, a Sino-foreign equity joint venture, in late 2001 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, Secco had expanded the capacity of certain facilities to 1,090,000 tons of ethylene per annum. We own 20% of the equity interest of Secco, while BP
and Sinopec Corp. own 50% and 30% interests in Secco, respectively. Secco plans to invest in a new acrylonitrile plant project with a capacity of 260,000 tons/year, a new ethylene plant with a new supercharger, a new butadiene plant with a capacity
of 90,000 tons/year, and a utility facilities upgrading project. To fund Seccos new projects, in 2013, the shareholders of Secco agreed to increase the registered capital of Secco by U.S.$150,085,618 according to their respective shares in the
equity interests in Secco, of which the Company was obligated to contribute an amount of U.S.$30,017,124 in installments. We have paid U.S.$9,817,718 and U.S.$1,884,050 on December 10, 2013 and March 5, 2014, respectively.

In 2015, Secco achieved a sales revenue of RMB23.682 billion (U.S.$3.656 billion), representing a decrease of 8.8% from its sales revenue
of RMB26.132 billion (U.S.$4.212 billion) in 2014. The decrease of sales revenue was primarily attributable to the decline in the price of petrochemical products resulted from the decline in international crude oil price. Secco produced 1,270,000
tons of ethylene in 2015, representing an increase of 190,000 tons over the previous year, increased by 17.6%. Secco had a net profit of RMB2.195 billion (U.S.$338.85 million) in 2015, as compared to a net loss of RMB340.27 million (U.S.$54.84
million) in 2014. The net profit was primarily because the price of raw materials, naphtha, declined as a result of the decline in crude oil price, and Seccos production facilities were operated safely and stably in 2015.

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 a significant amount of waste substances in the plants and discharge them into the environment
after making such waste substances meet the discharge standards. During 2015, we were assessed a total of RMB41.92 million (U.S.$6.47 million) in fees for discharges of waste substances.

On August 6, 2015, in the field inspection by the general inspection team of Shanghai Environmental Protection Monitoring, law
enforcement found that visible smoke was emitted from our olefin boiler, which was in violation of the Shanghai Air Pollution Control Regulations. The Company was imposed a fine of RMB10,000 by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau on
November 2, 2015.

On September 1, 2015, the average nitrogen oxides emissions were above the emission limit set
forth in the Thermal Power Plant Air Pollutants Emission Standards (GB13223-2011). The Company was imposed a fine of RMB70,000 by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau on December 21, 2015.

We believe our environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for the existing national and local environmental protection
regulations. In 2015, we continued to carry out various energy-saving and emissions reduction measures in accordance with the relevant domestic energy conservation and emissions reduction requirements, and achieved all energy-saving and emissions
reduction goals set by the Chinese government during the year.

During 2015, the Companys overall level of energy
consumption per RMB10,000 of product value was 0.807 ton of standard coal, decreased by 5.17% from the previous year. As compared with 2014, the total volume of chemical oxygen demand (COD) discharged was decreased 0.69%, while that of
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides declined by 4.08% and 9.63%, respectively. At the same time, the compliance rate of waste water and waste gas emissions reached 100%, and all hazardous waste was disposed of properly. The average heat efficiency of
heaters increased 0.03% to 92.45%.

Insurance

We currently participate in a package of insurance coverage plan through Sinopec Group as its controlled subsidiary, which, as of December 31, 2015, was approximately RMB39.014 billion (U.S.$6.022
billion) on our property and facilities and approximately RMB2.36 billion (U.S.$0.36 billion) on our inventory. In addition, we maintain insurance policies for such assets as engineering construction projects and products in transit with
third-partys commercial insurance company. 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 are uncertainties under Chinese law as to what percentage insurance claims we may demand against Sinopec Group.

We carry a third party liability insurance with a coverage capped at RMB50 million to cover
claims, subject to deductibles, 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 1970s, the Chinese government organized petroleum refining and petrochemical production and processing plants 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 plants. 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 development
industry.

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
was assumed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, its function in industry planning and policy making was assumed by the 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 governmental agencies at the national level.

As part of this restructuring, Sinopec was also restructured in July 1998. The succeeding entity, Sinopec Group, was authorized to
conduct 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 and actual
controller.

Business Operations Relating to Iran and other U.S. Sanctioned Countries

In 2015, we sourced a small amount of crude oil from Iran through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopec Corp., our controlling shareholder,
and such amount represented 5.04% of our total purchase volume of crude oil. Details of the purchase volume and purchase expenses are provided below:

In addition, based on feedback to our inquiries to Sinopec Group, the controlling shareholder of Sinopec
Corp., Sinopec Group, directly or indirectly, engaged in a small amount of business activities in Iran such as providing engineering support and designs. Sales revenue from these business activities accounted for 0.02% of Sinopec Groups total
unaudited sales revenue in 2015. Sinopec Corp. engaged in a small amount of trading activities with an Iranian company with net profit of approximately U.S.$2.71 million in 2015.

The following tables set forth the Rated Capacities
of our principal production units. The actual production capacity of a production unit can exceed the 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 the 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 2015:

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 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 provide sufficient power supply needed by our facilities. We are connected to the Eastern China electricity grid, which provides a back-up source of power in case of a shortfall in our
self-generated 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.

In 2015, we continued to place emphasis on QHSE by implementing a
QHSE responsibility system at each level to strengthen the safety supervision at our operations and construction sites and to improve the QHSE-related performance appraisal. We believe these efforts have resulted in continued improvement in our
safety and environmental protection practices. We did not encounter serious accidents involving production safety, environmental pollution or occupational poisoning in 2015. Among the 113 major indicators that measure technical and economic
capacity, 67 exceeded those of the previous year while 21 reached advanced levels in our industry.

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 2015, approximately 40.34% 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 one chemical wharf at Jinshan with five berths of 2,000, 5,000, 8,000, 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 2015, products representing 9.87% 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
2015, products representing 2.34% 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.

Rail

We own a railroad loading depot with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons. The depot provides access via a spur line to the national Chinese railway system. In 2015, products representing 1.04% 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.

Capital Expansion Program

In 2015, through upgrading of the sewage discharge standard, desulfurization reconstruction of No. 1, No.5 and No. 7 furnaces of
our thermoelectricity department, and other environment protection projects, we believe we further improved our environment protection and pollution treatment, and enhanced the sustainable development of the company. In addition, we have planned or
started a number of other principal capital expansion projects. Our principal capital expansion projects for the near term are summarized in the table and further described below. In aggregate, we expect that total investment in the projects
described below will be approximately RMB1.7 billion in 2016. This amount will be funded by our own capital and by bank loans.

N/A
 not applicable.

In 2013, 2014 and 2015, we invested RMB1.317 billion, RMB1.089 billion and RMB0.8 billion,
respectively, in capital expansion projects.

Refining Capacity Expansion

In 2014, we completed the No. 3 diesel Hydrogenation Unit Reconstruction and Diesel Quality Upgrading Project with a view to
complying with the national requirement to improve the quality of refined oil. We plan to launch No. 2 Diesel Hydrogenation Unit Reconstruction and Diesel Quality Upgrading Project so as to further improve the quality of oil product and perfect
oil product structure. Through the No. 2 Diesel Hydrogenation Unit Reconstruction and Diesel Quality Upgrading Project, we plan to transform the 1.2 million tons/year diesel hydrogenation unit to a 1.1 million tons/year upgrading unit
(800,000 tons/year catalytic diesel + 300,000 tons/year RDS diesel). The project will be in two phases, the first phase is anticipated to finish and put into operation by the end of September 2016, and the second phase is anticipated to finish and
put into operation by the end 2017.

Expansion of New and Existing Downstream Petrochemical Products

As a large-scale integrated petrochemical enterprise, we produce a wide range of intermediate and downstream petrochemical products. In
order to adapt to the changes in the worlds energy market and the development trends in the oil and chemical products market in China, we will seek to further integrate the existing refining, olefin and aromatic processing chains, and further
develop our chemical business.

To take advantage of our specialty in producing acrylics fiber and to improve our industrial
structure and upgrade certain products, we plan to construct a carbon fiber project with a capacity of 1,500 tons/year. Sinopec Corp. approved the basic design for this project in December 2010; pile foundation construction was commenced in December
2010; civil engineering was commenced in February 2011 and one series of facilities under phase I were launched for trial operation in 2012. The Company will decide on the timing of the construction of the additional phases of the project based on
market conditions.

##### Table of Contents

We plan to construct a new 100,000t/a EVA production unit with imported technology. The
revised feasibility study report for this project was submitted to Sinopec Corp. for approval in September 2011. The construction of this project is scheduled to be commenced in 2016 and completed in 2018.

Upgrading Environmental Protection Facilities Projects

To enhance our capacity for sustainable development and response to the government requirements of environmental protection, we intend to
increase our capital expenditures on a series of environmental projects, mainly including desulfurization reconstruction of No. 1, No.5 and No. 7 furnaces of our thermoelectricity department, upgrading of the new sewage discharge for some
projects, stench control project in oil tank area of the storage and transportation department, boiler flue gas desulfurization and denitrification projects of olefin department, etc. Sewage discharge upgrading finished in 2015. Other projects,
including desulfurization reconstruction of No. 1, No.5 and No. 7 furnaces of our thermoelectricity department, stench control project in oil tank area of the storage and transportation department, boiler flue gas desulfurization and
denitrification projects of olefin department are in construction and anticipated to finish in 2016.

|ITEM 5. | OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS.
|------- | ---------------------------------------------

General

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 2015. 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 and 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. 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

Assets that have an indefinite useful life must be tested annually for impairment. Long term assets
that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit
are discounted to their present value. 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, 2013, 2014 and 2015, we recognized impairment charges on property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets of RMB nil, RMB10.2 million and
RMB50 million, respectively.



33

##### Table of Contents

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. We review 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 our historical
experience with similar assets, 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, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

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 impairment losses would
be higher than estimated. Impairment provisions for bad and doubtful debts were a provision of RMB0.01 million, RMB nil and RMB nil, during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Inventory management

At the beginning of every year, the management team determines the appropriate levels of inventories to maintain on the basis of annual production and operating plans, financial budgets and
market conditions. Every six months, the management team conducts an inventory status analysis in conjunction with its supply, production, marketing, financial and other departments and develops a plan for keeping
inventories at an appropriate level.

Management assesses the realizability of our inventories based on the estimates of the
net realizable value of the inventories at the end of each reporting period. 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. 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. 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. In addition, management periodically reviews inventory aging information to assess if any obsolete inventories are required to be written down at the period end. Based on our assessments, we recorded
write-down of inventories of RMB40 million, RMB214 million and RMB45 million respectively for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Barring unforeseeable changes that may occur to the current economic environment in either
China or worldwide, our management does not anticipate encountering major difficulties with our attempt to realize by the end of 2016 the bulk of our inventories as of December 31, 2015 after deducting for
diminution in values.

Income tax

In June 2007, the State Administrative of Taxation issued a tax circular (Circular No.664) to the local tax authorities requesting the relevant local tax authorities to rectify the applicable enterprise
income tax (EIT) for nine listed companies, which included us. After the notice was issued, we were required by the relevant tax authority to settle the EIT for 2007 at a rate of 33 percent. To date, we have not been requested by the tax
authorities 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, 2015. No provision has been made in the financial statements at December 31, 2015
for this uncertainty because we believe it is not probable that the Company will be required to pay additional EIT for tax years prior to 2007.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

There are many transactions and
events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgment is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax
outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of temporary deductible differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses. We
recognize deferred tax assets only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against the assets which can be realized or utilized. At the end of each reporting period, we assess whether previously unrecognized
deferred tax assets should be recognized. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be utilized. In addition, we assess the
carrying amount of deferred tax assets that are recognized at the end of each reporting period. The Company reduces the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available for the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

In making the assessment of whether it is probable the Company will
realize or utilize the deferred tax assets, we primarily rely on the generation of future taxable income to support the recognition of deferred tax assets. In order to fully utilize the deferred tax assets recognized at December 31, 2015, the
Company would need to generate future taxable income of at least RMB284 million.



34

##### Table of Contents

We believe that it is probable that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income
before the unused tax losses expire. Favorable factors include the enlargement of crude oil refinery capacity of the Company and the new pricing mechanism in the PRC for setting gasoline and diesel prices to more closely track crude oil costs.
Uncertainties which could affect the estimated taxable income include various factors such as the volatility of international crude oil prices and the cyclical nature of the petroleum and petrochemical industry. Upon changes in facts and
circumstances, management may conclude that deferred tax assets may not be realizable in future periods, resulting in a future reduction in the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset.

Government Policies

The impact of government economic, fiscal, and monetary policies can materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows (see Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk
Factors).

In particular, we consume large amounts of crude oil to manufacture our products of which more than 90% is
typically 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 government regulations, among other factors. Given that
the increase of the sales prices of our products can lag behind the increase of crude oil costs, we sometimes fail to completely cover the increased costs by increasing our sales prices, particularly where government regulations restrict the prices
of certain of our fuel products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and liquefied petroleum gas. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, approximately 49.11%, 48.02% and 43.33% of our net sales were from such products subject to price controls. Although the
current price-setting mechanism for refined petroleum products in China allows the Chinese government to adjust price in the PRC market when the average international crude oil price fluctuates beyond certain levels within a certain time period (see
Item 4. Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Product Pricing), the Chinese government still retains discretion as to whether or when to adjust the prices of the refined oil products. The Chinese government
generally exercises certain price control over refined oil products once international crude oil prices experience a sustained rise or become significantly volatile. Moreover, the Chinese government controls the distribution of many fuel products in
China. For instance, some of our fuel products are required to be sold to designated distributors (such as the subsidiaries of Sinopec Corp.). Because we cannot freely sell our fuel products to take advantage of opportunities for higher 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.

In addition, the exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. Dollar or other foreign currencies are affected by
Chinese government policies. In particular, the value of the Renminbi is only permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. The Chinese government continues to receive significant
international pressure to liberalize its currency policy. Most of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi, and most of our purchase of crude oil and some equipment and repayment of certain borrowings are made in foreign currencies. Historically, the
trend for appreciation of the Renminbi was helpful to us since our imported crude oil purchases constitute such a large portion of our total costs. However, the recent depreciation of the Renminbi increased our costs and affected our capacity of
making profits. In addition, any depreciation of the Renminbi could adversely affect the value of the dividends of our H shares and ADSs, which we pay in foreign currencies. Further appreciation in the value of Renminbi against foreign currencies
(including the U.S. Dollar) may cause a decrease in the value of our cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in foreign currencies.

sales for the years indicated:

Results of Operations

In general, the recovery of the world economy was slower than expected in 2015. The U.S. economy delivered a strong performance in 2015, while the economies of the Euro zone and Japan recovered slowly and
the growth of emerging economies, including China continued to slow down. The Chinese government adopted a series of macroeconomic control and reform measures and was able to maintain stable economic growth, with an annual GDP growth rate of 6.9%.
Primarily due to the slowing growth of the Chinese economy, weak market demand, excessive production capacity and low market prices, the petroleum and petrochemical industry remained in a weak position. However, the earnings of industry players
increased in 2015 because crude oil prices declined significantly, and the unit purchase price of raw materials dropped to a larger extent than the unit price of petroleum and petrochemical products.

In 2015, given the complex market conditions, with a focus on our profit and returns, we enhanced our effort to improve our environmental
protection facilities and to continuously reduce our costs and increase our production efficiency.

In 2015, our net sales
amounted to RMB80.748 billion, decreased by 20.93% compared with 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in weighted average sales price of our petroleum and petrochemical products mainly as a result of the decrease in crude oil price
and excessive production capacity of petroleum products in the industry. The total volume of our products was 13,866,200 tons in 2015, representing an increase of 2.18% over the previous year. Our production/sale ratio was 99.91%, and the trade
receivables recovery rate was 100%. Our total amount of export was RMB4.099 billion, increased by 211.21% compared with 2014.

Year ended December 31, 2015 compared with year ended December 31, 2014

Net sales

Primarily due to the decrease in crude oil price, the market prices of petrochemical products dropped in 2015. The excessive production capacity of petrochemical products and the weak demand in domestic
and international markets led to intensive market competition. In 2015, our net sales amounted to RMB67,037.2 million, representing a decrease of 27.70% from RMB92,725 million in 2014. The decrease in our net sales was primarily due to the decline
in market prices of petrochemical products as a result of the decrease of crude oil price and weak customer demand for our products. We increased our crude oil processing volume in 2015, which led to a slight increase in the sales volume of our
petroleum products. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the weighted average prices (excluding tax) of our synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemical products, and petroleum products decreased by 17.13%, 19.67%, 31.42%
and 37.22% over the previous year, respectively.

(i) Synthetic fibers

In 2015, the net sales for synthetic fibers amounted to RMB2,328.2 million, representing a decrease of 19.48% as compared to RMB2,891.5
million in the previous year. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in price of synthetic fibers, driven by the decline in crude oil price, and also due to the decline in sales volume because of the continued sluggish downstream demand and
under-performing initiatives in raw material procurement. The weighted average sales price of synthetic fibers decreased by 17.13%. While the weighted average sales price of acrylic fiber, the principal synthetic fiber product of our Company,
decreased by 18.53%, the weighted average sales price of polyester fiber decreased by 21.53% compared to that of the previous year. The decrease in the weighted average price of acrylic fiber and polyester fiber was primarily due to the decline in
cost of raw materials resulted from the decrease in crude oil price. The sales of acrylic fiber and polyester fiber accounted for 83.33% and 12.40% of the total sales of synthetic fibers, respectively. Sales volume of synthetic fibers decreased by
2.84% in 2015 compared to that of the previous year.

The net sales of synthetic fiber products accounted for 3.5% of the
total net sales in 2015, representing an increase of 0.4% as compared to the previous year.

(ii) Resins and plastics

The net sales of resins and plastics amounted to RMB9,992.2 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 19.99% as compared to RMB12,489.4
million in 2014. The decrease in net sales was mainly attributable to the decrease in price of resin and plastics, driven by the decline in crude oil price. The weighted average sales price of resins and plastics fell by 19.67%. Among resins and
plastics products, the weighted average sales price of polyethylene for 2015 decreased by 13.67%; the weighted average sales price of polypropylene for 2015 decreased by 24.68%; and the weighted average sales price of polyester pellet for 2015
decreased by 23.14%. The decrease in the weighted average price of polyester pellet was primarily due to the decline in cost of raw materials resulted from the decrease in crude oil price. Sales of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester pellet
accounted for 33.71%, 33.67% and 15.35% of the total sales of resins and plastics, respectively. The sales volume of resins and plastics slightly decreased by 0.41% in 2015 primarily because we reduced the production of polyester chips in 2015
mainly as a result of weak customer demand.

The net sales of resins and plastics accounted for 14.9% of total net sales in
2015, representing an increase of 1.4% as compared to the previous year.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

The net sales of intermediate petrochemical products amounted to RMB9,332.0 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 24.69% as compared
to RMB12,391.0 million in 2014 as a result of the decline in the price of intermediate petrochemical products resulted from the decrease of 31.42% in their weighted average sales price, as their price was driven down by the drop of crude oil price.
Among the intermediate petrochemicals, the weighted average sales prices of paraxylene, butadiene, ethylene oxide, benzene and glycol decreased by 31.65%, 28.24%, 25.86%, 42.47% and 14.45%, respectively. The decreases in weighted average sales
prices of paraxylene, butadiene, ethylene oxide, benzene and glycol were primarily due to the decline in cost of raw materials resulted from the decrease in crude oil price. Sales of paraxylene, butadiene, ethylene oxide, benzene and glycol
accounted for 25.47%, 6.36%, 11.84%, 15.98% and 16.82% of the total sales of intermediate petrochemicals, respectively. The sales volume of intermediate petrochemical products increased by 9.81% in 2015 primarily because we increased production of
intermediate petrochemical products mainly as a result of strong market demand in 2015.

The net sales of intermediate
petrochemicals accounted for 13.9% of the total net sales in 2015, representing an increase of 0.5% as compared to the previous year.

(iv) Petroleum products

The net sales of petroleum products amounted to
RMB30,802.0 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 37.47% as compared to RMB49,259.5 million in 2014, with the weighted average sales price decreasing by 37.22% and the sales volume of petroleum products decreasing by 0.39%. The weighted
average sales price of petroleum products decreased in 2015 as compared to the previous year primarily due to the decrease in refined oil price in China as a result of the decline in crude oil price.

The net sales of petroleum products accounted for 45.9% of the total net sales in 2015, representing a decrease of 7.2% as compared to
the previous year.

(v) Trading of petrochemical products

The net sales of the trading of petroleum products amounted to RMB13,718.2 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 7.25% as compared
to RMB14,791.0 million in 2014. This decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease of price of major petrochemical products in the global oil price market.

The net sales of trading of petrochemical products accounted for 20.5% of the total net sales in 2015, representing an increase of 4.6% as compared to the previous year.

(vi) Others

The net sales of others amounted to RMB864.6 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 4.21% as compared to RMB902.6 million in the previous year. This decrease in net sales was mainly because the
declines in income from disposal of scrap materials.

The net sales of others accounted for 1.3% of the Companys total
net sales in 2015, representing an increase of 0.3% as compared to the previous year.

Our cost of sales amounted to RMB62,757.1 million in 2015, decreased by 32.45% from RMB92,910.1 million in 2014. Cost of sales accounted for 93.62% of net sales for 2015, as compared to 100.20% in the
previous year. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to the decline in crude oil price in 2015.



| |  | Selling and administrative expenses
|- |  | -----------------------------------

Our selling and administrative expenses amounted to RMB600.9 million in 2015, representing an increase of 6.5% as compared to RMB564.2 million in the previous year, mainly due to an increase in impairment
of fixed assets.



| |  | Other operating income
|- |  | ----------------------

Our other operating income amounted to RMB234.9 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 10.21% as compared to RMB261.6 million in the previous year. The decrease in other operating income was mainly
because the receipt of refunds relating to local education surcharge of RMB101 million in 2015, decreased by RMB23 million from the last year.



| |  | Other operating expenses
|- |  | ------------------------

Our other operating expenses were RMB33.9 million in 2015, representing a decrease of 66.17% as compared to RMB100.2 million in the previous year. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease of exchange
loss of RMB22 million relating to the production and operation, and the decrease of the loss on fixed assets disposal of RMB33.8 million.

Profits/loss from operations

Our profit from operations amounted to
RMB3,908.9 million in 2015, representing an increase of RMB4,496.8 million as compared to our loss from operation of RMB587.9 million in the previous year. In 2015, costs for all segments dropped drastically as a result of the decrease of crude oil
price. Compared with the decline in unit price of finished products, the unit purchase price of raw materials dropped to a larger extent than the unit price of finished products, leading to a significant growth in our profit from operations as
compared to last year. In addition, profit from our investment in Secco was RMB437 million in 2015, representing an increase of RMB505 million as compared to a loss of RMB68 million in 2014.

(i) Synthetic fibers

Loss from operations of synthetic fibers amounted to RMB356.4 million in 2015, representing a decrease of RMB225.5 million in loss as compared to loss of RMB581.9 million in the previous year. The
decrease in loss was primarily due to a 22.7% decrease in operating expenses of synthetic fibers to RMB2,684.6 million in 2015 from RMB3,473.4 million in the previous year while the net sales of synthetic fibers decreased by 19.48% to RMB2,328.2
million in 2015 from RMB2,891.5 million in the previous year. The decreases in operating expenses and net sales were primarily attributable to the decline in the cost of raw materials of synthetic fiber products.

(ii) Resins and plastics

Profit from operations of resins and plastics amounted to RMB1,218.6 million in 2015, representing an increase of RMB1,550.1 million as compared to loss of RMB331.5 million in the previous year. The
increase in profit was primarily due to a 31.57% decrease in operating expenses of resins and plastics to RMB8,773.6 million in 2015 from RMB12,820.9 million in the previous year while the net sales of resins and plastics decreased by 19.99% to
RMB9,992.2 million in 2015 from RMB12,489.4 million in the previous year. The decreases in operating expenses and net sales were primarily attributable to significantly lower costs of raw materials as a result of the decrease in crude oil price.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

Profit from operations of intermediate petrochemicals amounted to RMB956.8 million in 2015, representing an increase of RMB825.0 million
as compared to profit of RMB131.8 million in the previous year. The increase in profit was primarily due to a 24.69% decrease in net sales of intermediate petrochemicals to RMB9,332 million in 2015 from RMB12,391.0 million in the previous year while
operating expenses of intermediate petrochemicals decreased by 31.68% to RMB8,375.2 million in 2015 from RMB12,259.2 million in the previous year. The decreases in net sales and operating expenses were primarily attributable to the decrease the
decline in the cost of raw materials as a result of the decrease of crude oil price.

(iv) Petroleum products

Profit from operations of petroleum products amounted to RMB1,862.3 million, representing an increase of RMB1,891.6
million as compared to loss of RMB29.3 million in the previous year. The loss was mainly attributable to the decrease of 37.4% in net sales of petroleum products to RMB30,802 million in 2015 from RMB49,259.5 million in the previous year while the
operating expenses of petroleum products decreased by 41.2% to RMB28,939.7 million in 2015 from RMB49,288.8 million in the previous year. The decreases in net sales and operating expenses were attributable to the decrease in refined oil price in
China as a result of the decline in crude oil price.

(v) Trading of petrochemical products

Profit from operations of trading of petrochemical products amounted to RMB15.2 million in 2015, representing a decrease of RMB50.9
million as compared to RMB66.1 million in the previous year. The decrease in profit was primarily due to a 6.9% decrease in operating expenses to RMB13,703 million in 2015 from RMB14,724.9 million in the previous year while net sales from trading of
petrochemical products decreased by 7.25% to RMB13,718.2 million in 2015 from RMB14,791.0 million in 2014. The decreases in net sales and operating expenses were mainly attributable to the decrease of price of major petrochemical products in the
global oil price market.

(vi) Others

Profit from operations of others amounted to RMB212.4 million in 2015, representing an increase of 35.37% as compared to RMB156.9 million in the previous year. The increase in profit was mainly
attributable to a decrease of 4.21% in net sales of other products to RMB864.6 million in 2015 from RMB902.6 million in 2014 while the operating expenses of others decreased by 12.54% to RMB652.2 million in 2015 from RMB745.7 million in the previous
year. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the declines in volume from disposal of scrap materials.

Net
financing income/costs

Our net financing costs were RMB243.8 million in 2015, compared with a net financing cost of
RMB359.7 million in 2014. The change was mainly due to the repayment of long term borrowings and certain short term borrowings by us in 2015, which lowered the interest expense from RMB374.6 million in 2014 to RMB211.9 million in 2015.

Share of profit of associates and jointly controlled entities

In 2015, the Companys share of profit of associates and jointly controlled entities amounted to RMB572.1 million (2014: share of
profit of RMB57.7 million), representing an increase of 891.5%, which was attributable to a significant increase in our share of profit in Secco (2015: share of profit of RMB437 million; 2014: share of loss of RMB68.0 million).

Earnings/loss before income tax

Our earnings before taxation was RMB4,237.2 million in 2015, representing a significant increase of RMB5,127.1 million as compared to the loss before taxation of RMB889.9 million in 2014.

Income tax

Our income tax expenses amounted to RMB926.8 million in 2015, while the income tax benefit was RMB214.2 million in 2014. The change was primarily attributable to the payment of current income tax as the
Company recorded profits in 2015.

In accordance with the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (amended) which took effect from
1 January 2008, the income tax rate of the Company in 2015 was 25% (2014:25%). However, the effective rate for income tax was 21.87% in 2015, compared to 24.07% in 2014. The relatively low effective income tax rate in 2015 was mainly because
that share profit of investments accounted for using the equity method amounted to RMB140.5 million in 2015, representing an increase of RMB128.6 million as compared to RMB11.9 million in 2014.

Net income/loss

Our net income was RMB3,310.4 million in 2015, representing an increase of RMB3,986.2 million from the net loss of RMB675.8 million in
2014.

Year ended December 31, 2014 compared with year ended December 31, 2013

Net sales

Primarily due to the sluggish economic growth both in China and overseas countries, the overall production of the petrochemical industry decreased in 2014. The excessive expansion in production capacity
of bulk petrochemical products and the weak demand in domestic and international markets led to intensive market competition and a decrease in the market prices of petrochemical products. Domestic oil consumption continued to grow while the supply
of refined oil products could easily met such demand in 2014. In 2014, our net sales amounted to RMB92,725 million, representing a decrease of 12.11% from RMB105,503.2 million in 2013. The decrease in our net sales was primarily due to weak customer
demand for our products and lower petroleum product prices as a result of excessive production capacity of petroleum products in the industry. We also reduced our crude oil processing volume in 2014 in response to the downturn of the petrochemical
products markets, which led to a decrease in the sales volume of our petroleum products. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the weighted average prices (excluding tax) of our synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemical
products, and petroleum products decreased by 1.54%, 0.19%, 13.10% and 4.20% over the previous year, respectively.

(i)
Synthetic fibers

In 2014, the net sales for synthetic fibers amounted to RMB2,891.5 million, representing a decrease of
10.22% as compared to RMB3,220.5 million in the previous year. The decrease was primarily due to weak downstream market demand for synthetic fibers. Sales volume of synthetic fibers decreased by 8.81% compared to that of the previous year, while the
weighted average sales price decreased by 1.54%. While the weighted average sales price of acrylic fiber, the principal synthetic fiber product of our Company, increased by 0.84%, the weighted average sales price of polyester fiber decreased by
11.68% compared to that of the previous year. The decrease in the weighted average price of polyester fiber was primarily due to the excessive capacity of polyster fiber production in China, resulting in lower market prices of polyester fiber
products. The sales of acrylic fiber and polyester fiber accounted for 79.15% and 14.95% of the total sales of synthetic fibers, respectively.

The net sales of synthetic fiber products accounted for 3.1% of the total net sales in 2014, which percentage was the same as the previous year.

(ii) Resins and plastics

The net sales of resins and plastics amounted to RMB12,489.4 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 12.47% as compared to RMB14,268.4 million in 2013. The decrease in net sales is mainly attributable
to a decrease in sales volume of polyester products. The sales volume of resins and plastics decreased by 12.30%, and the weighted average sales price fell by 0.19%. Sales volume of resins and plastics decreased as we reduced the production of
polyester chips mainly as a result of the increased market competition and the relatively lower profit margin of these products. Among resins and plastics products, the weighted average sales price of polyethylene for 2014 increased by 2.65%; the
weighted average sales price of polypropylene for 2014 increased by 1.53%; and the weighted average sales price of polyester pellet for 2014 decreased by 13.82%. The decrease in the weighted average price of polyester pellet was primarily due to
increased market competition and weak customer demand for our products. Sales of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester pellet accounted for 43.58%, 35.52% and 16.56% of the total sales of resins and plastics, respectively.

The net sales of resins and plastics accounted for 13.5% of total net sales in 2014, which percentage was the same as the previous year.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

The net sales of intermediate petrochemical products amounted to RMB12,391.0 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 32.77% as compared to RMB18,430.8 million in 2013 as a result of decreases in sales
volume and weighted average sales prices of our intermediate petrochemical products . The sales volume of intermediate petrochemical products decreased by 22.64% in 2014 primarily as a result of the weak sales of aromatics (including benzene and
paraxylene) and olefins, as downstream demand for these products remained weak and our 1# ethylene plant shut down. The weighted average sales price of intermediate petrochemicals decreased by 13.10% in 2014 as compared to the previous year mainly
due to a decrease in the average price of the Companys key intermediate petrochemicals, including paraxylene, butadiene , ethylene oxide, benzene and glycol primarily as a result of weak domestic market demand.

##### Table of Contents

Among the intermediate petrochemicals, weighted average sales prices of paraxylene,
butadiene, ethylene oxide, benzene and glycol decreased by 18.83%, 14.29%, 2.92%, 9.07% and 11.32% respectively. The decreases in weighted average sales prices of paraxylene, butadiene, ethylene oxide, benzene and glycol were primarily due to the
weak market demand. Sales of paraxylene, butadiene, ethylene oxide, benzene and glycol accounted for 29.07%, 6.33%, 18.74%, 18.56% and 6.11% of the total sales of intermediate petrochemicals, respectively.

The net sales of intermediate petrochemicals accounted for 13.4% of the total net sales in 2014, representing a decrease of 4.1% compared
to the previous year.

(iv) Petroleum products

The net sales of petroleum products amounted to RMB49,259.5 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 14.21% as compared to RMB57,419.8 million in 2013, with the weighted average sales price decreasing
by 4.20% and the sales volume of petroleum products decreasing by 10.45%. The weighted average sales price of petroleum products decreased in 2014 as compared to the previous year primarily due to the excessive production capacity of petroleum
products and the sale volume decreased in 2014 as compared to the previous year primarily because we reduced our crude oil processing volume in 2014 in response to the downturn of the petrochemical products markets.

The net sales of petroleum products accounted for 53.1% of the total net sales in 2014, representing a decrease of 1.3% compared to the
previous year.

(v) Trading of petrochemical products

The net sales of the trading of petroleum products amounted to RMB14,791.0 million in 2014, representing an increase of 32.56% as compared
to RMB11,157.6 million in 2013. This increase was mainly attributable to our increased sales of the trading of petroleum products as we established our subsidiary, Shanghai Jinshan Trading Corporation, in 2014, and expanded our trading business.

The net sales of trading of petrochemical products accounted for 15.9% of the total net sales in 2014, representing an
increase of 5.3% as compared to the previous year.

(vi) Others

The net sales of others amounted to RMB902.6 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 10.29% as compared to RMB1,006.1 million in the
previous year. This decrease in net sales was mainly because the financial performance of our asset rental business was not as good as expected.

The net sales of others accounted for 1.0% of the Companys total net sales in 2014, representing an increase of 0.1% as compared to the previous year.

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 slightly decreased from RMB103,310.9 million in 2013 to RMB93,312.9 million in 2014. Our operating expenses of
synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals, petroleum products and others were RMB3,473.4 million, RMB12,820.9 million, RMB12,259.2 million, RMB49,288.8 million and RMB745.7 million, representing decreases of 9.15%, 14.72%,
29.41%, 10.78% and 5.76% as compared to the previous year, respectively. Such decreases were primarily due to the slight decreases in the Companys sales volume of these products mainly as a result of weak market demand and excessive production
capacity. The operating expenses for trading of petrochemicals amounted to RMB14,724.9 million, representing an increase of 33.23% as compared to the previous year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the Companys trading volume
of the petrochemicals in 2014 as a result of the expansion of our trading business.

| |  | Cost of sales
|- |  | -------------

Our cost of sales amounted to RMB92,910.1 million in 2014, decreasing by 9.99% from RMB103,225.9 million in 2013. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to the decrease in our crude oil
processing volume in response to the downturn of the petrochemical products markets. Cost of sales accounted for 100.20% of net sales for 2014, as compared to 97.84% in the previous year. Our cost of sales exceeded the net sales in 2014primarily
because the price of crude oil in the international market decreased in 2014, especially in the fourth quarter, resulting in a decrease in the prices of the Companys oil products and petrochemical products, while the price of domestic oil we
purchased was not timely adjusted based on the price of crude oil in the international market due to the price control over crude oil by the Chinese government, which led to the high production cost of our oil products and petrochemical products.



| |  | Selling and administrative expenses
|- |  | -----------------------------------

Our selling and administrative expenses amounted to RMB564.2 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 18.35% as compared to RMB691.0 million in the previous year, mainly due to a decrease of RMB92.5
million in the cost of loading and unloading transports and RMB39.2 million in the cost of agency commission as a result of the decrease in our sales volume of petroleum products in 2014.



| |  | Other operating income
|- |  | ----------------------

Our other operating income amounted to RMB261.6 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 61.15% as compared to RMB673.4 million in the previous year. The decrease in other operating income was mainly
because we generated a net income of RMB465 million from the asset transfer involving the Chenshan oil depot and foreign exchange gain of RMB67.3 million on foreign currency denominated debts and liabilities of our subsidiary China Jinshan
Associated Trading Corporation in 2013, while, as an offsetting factor, the refunds of local government education surcharge and government grants we received in 2014 increased by RMB123.2 million as compared to the previous year partly due to the
compensation we received in relation to the disposal of 1# ethylene plant.



| |  | Other operating expenses
|- |  | ------------------------

Our other operating expenses were RMB100.2 million in 2014, representing an increase of 48.66% as compared to RMB67.4 million in the previous year. This increase was mainly due to the exchange loss of
RMB22.2 million as a result of the depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar, and the loss on fixed assets disposal of RMB47.3 million.

Loss/profits from operations

Our loss from operations amounted to
RMB587.9 million in 2014, representing a decrease of RMB2,780.2 million as compared to our profit from operation of RMB2,192.3 million in the previous year. In 2014, demand for petrochemicals in China remained weak. Profit margin for our
petrochemical product segment declined and our petrochemical business recorded losses in 2014. In the second half of 2014, especially in the fourth quarter, the price of crude oil in the international market decreased further, resulting in a
decrease in the prices of the Companys oil products and petrochemical products, while the price of domestic oil we purchased was not timely adjusted based on the price of crude oil in the international market due to the price control over
crude oil by the Chinese government, which led to the high production cost of our oil products and petrochemical products.

(i) Synthetic fibers

Loss from operations of synthetic fibers amounted to RMB581.9 million in 2014, representing a decrease of RMB21.0 million in loss as compared to loss of RMB602.9 million in the previous year. The decrease
in loss was primarily due to a 9.15% decrease in operating expenses of synthetic fibers to RMB3,473.4 million in 2014 from RMB3,823.4 million in the previous year while the net sales of synthetic fibers decreased by 10.22% to RMB2,891.5 million in
2014 from RMB3,220.5 million in the previous year. The decreases in operating expenses and net sales were primarily attributable to the decline in the sales volumes of synthetic fibers mainly as a result of the weak downstream market demand for our
synthetic fibers.

(ii) Resins and plastics

Loss from operations of resins and plastics amounted to RMB331.5 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 56.74% in loss as compared to
loss of RMB766.3 million in the previous year. The decrease in loss was primarily due to a 14.72% decrease in operating expenses of resins and plastics to RMB12,820.9 million in 2014 from RMB15,034.7 million in the previous year while the net sales
of resins and plastics decreased by 12.47% to RMB12,489.4 million in 2014 from RMB14,268.4 million in the previous year. The decreases in operating expenses and net sales were primarily attributable to the decrease in sales volume of polyester
products, as we reduced the production of polyester chips mainly as a result of increased market competition and relatively lower profit margin of these products.

(iii) Intermediate petrochemicals

Profit from operations of intermediate
petrochemicals amounted to RMB131.8 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 87.61% as compared to profit of RMB1,064.0 million in the previous year. The decrease in profit was primarily due to a 32.77% decrease in net sales of intermediate
petrochemicals to RMB12,391.0 million in 2014 from RMB18,430.8 million in the previous year while operating expenses of intermediate petrochemicals decreased by 29.41% to RMB12,259.2 million in 2014 from RMB17,366.8 million in the previous year. The
decreases in net sales and operating expenses were primarily attributable to the decrease in sales volume and weighted average sales prices of our intermediate petrochemical products as a result of the weak sales of aromatics (including benzene and
paraxylene) and olefins, as downstream demand for these products remained weak and our 1# ethylene plant shut down.

(iv)
Petroleum products

Loss from operations of petroleum products amounted to RMB29.3 million in 2014, representing a decrease
of 101.35% as compared to profit of RMB2,177.2 million in the previous year. The loss was mainly attributable to the decrease of 14.21% in net sales of petroleum products to RMB49,259.5 million in 2014 from RMB57,419.8 million in the previous year
while the operating expenses of petroleum products decreased by 10.78% to RMB49,288.8 million in 2014 from RMB55,242.6 million in the previous year. The decreases in net sales and operating expenses were attributable to the excessive production
capacity of petroleum products and the decrease in sales volume of our petroleum products as we reduced our crude oil processing volume in 2014 in response to the downturn of the petrochemical products markets.

(v) Trading of petrochemical products

Profit from operations of trading of petrochemical products amounted to RMB66.1 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 37.35% as compared to RMB105.5 million in the previous year. The decrease in
profit was primarily due to a 33.23% increase in operating expenses to RMB14,724.9 million in 2014 from RMB11,052.1 million in the previous year while net sales from trading of petrochemical products increased by 32.56% to RMB14,791.0 million in
2014 from RMB11,157.6 million in 2013. The increases in net sales and operating expenses were mainly attributable to an increase in trading volume of petrochemical products as we established our subsidiary, Shanghai Jinshan Trading Corporation, in
2014, and expanded our trading business. The profitability of trading of petrochemical products decreased in 2014 was primarily attributable to the lower profit margin of our petrochemical products as a result of intense market competition.

(vi) Others

Profit from operations of others amounted to RMB156.9 million in 2014, representing a decrease of 26.96% as compared to RMB214.8 million in the previous year. The decrease in profit was mainly
attributable to a decrease of 10.29% in net sales of other products to RMB902.6 million in 2014 from RMB1,006.1 million in 2013, primarily because the financial performance of our asset rental business was not as good as expected.

Net financing income/costs

Our net financing costs were RMB359.7 million in 2014, compared with a net financing income of RMB121.7 million in 2013. The change was mainly due to RMB49.8 million of net foreign exchange loss in 2014
caused by the depreciation of RMB against U.S, Dollars as compared to RMB407.9 million of net foreign exchange gains caused by the appreciation of RMB against U.S. Dollars in 2013.

Share of profit of associates and jointly controlled entities

In 2014, the Companys share of profit of associates and jointly controlled entities amounted to RMB57.7 million (2013: share of
profit of RMB130.7 million), representing a decrease of 55.85%, which was attributable to a significant decrease in our share of profit in Secco (2014: share of loss of RMB68.0 million; 2013: share of profit of RMB40.0 million).

Earnings/loss before income tax

Our loss before taxation was RMB889.9 million in 2014, representing a significant decrease of RMB3,334.6 million as compared to the profit before taxation of RMB2,444.7 million in 2013.

Income tax

Our income tax benefit amounted to RMB214.2 million in 2014, while the income tax expense was RMB379.2 million in 2013. The change was primarily attributable to the deferred tax assets recognized as the
Company recorded losses in 2014.

In accordance with the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (amended) which took effect from
1 January 2008, the income tax rate of the Company in 2014 was 25% (2013:25%). However, the effective rate for income tax was 24.07% in 2014, compared to 15.51% in 2013. The relatively low effective income tax rate in 2013 was mainly due to the
utilization of our previously unrecognized tax losses.

Net income/loss

Our net loss was RMB675.8 million in 2014, representing a decrease of RMB2,741.3 million from the net profit of RMB2,065.5 million in
2013.

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.

Our primary sources of funding have been cash provided by
our operating activities and short term and long term borrowings. Our primary uses of cash have been for cost of sales, other operating expenses and capital expenditures. We prepare monthly cash flow budgets 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. We believe that our current
cash on hand, expected cash flows from operations and available standby credit facilities from financial institutions will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and repay our short term borrowings and obligations when they become
due. In addition, we will continue to optimize our fund raising strategy from short and long term perspectives to take advantage of low interest rates by issuing corporate bonds or debts with low financing costs.

The following table sets forth a condensed summary of our consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2013, 2014 and 2015.

Net cash generated from/used in operating activities

The net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB4,932.8 million in 2015, representing an increase in cash inflows of
RMB1,270.4 million as compared to the net cash inflows of RMB3,662.4 million in 2014, due to the following reasons: (1) we recorded profit from operation during the reporting period, net cash inflows from profit before taxation (net of
depreciation and impairment losses on property, plant and equipment) amounted to RMB6,009.5 million in 2015, representing an increase of RMB4,959.7 million in cash inflows as compared with net cash inflows of RMB1,049.8 million in the previous year,
(2) our decreased inventory balance as at the end of the period led to an increase in operating cash flow of RMB1,752.5 million in 2015 (compared with an increase in operating cash flow of RMB3,108.5 million in the previous year due to
decreased inventory balance at the end of the previous year), (3) the decrease in operating payables as at the end of the period led to a decrease in operating cash flow of RMB1,451.7 million in 2015 (as compared to a increase in operating cash
flow of RMB1,255.2 million as a result of an increase in operating payables in the corresponding period of the previous year).

The net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB3,662.4 million in 2014, representing a decrease in cash inflows of
RMB1,436.1 million as compared to the net cash inflows of RMB5,098.5 million in 2013, due to the following reasons: (i) we recorded loss during the reporting period, with net cash outflows from loss before taxation (net of depreciation and
impairment losses on property, plant and equipment) amounting to RMB1,049.8 million in 2014, representing a decrease of RMB3,504.7 million in cash inflows as compared to the net cash inflows of RMB4,554.5 million in the previous year; and
(ii) our decreased inventory balance led to an increase in operating cash inflow of RMB3,108.5 million in 2014 (as compared to a decrease in operating cash inflow of RMB101.2 million in the previous year due to increased inventory balance at
the end of 2013).

Net cash used in investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities decreased from RMB910.1 million in 2014 to RMB439.0 million in 2015. This was primarily because
our purchases of property, plant and equipment and other long-term asset decreased from RMB1,089.3 million in 2014 to RMB695.3 million, and our dividends received from joint ventures and associates increased from RMB98.8 million in 2014 to RMB216.5
million in 2015.

Our net cash used in investing activities increased from RMB629.2 million in 2013 to RMB910.1 million in
2014. This was primarily because we received proceeds of RMB599.2 million from disposal of property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets in 2013 mainly as a result of an assets disposal of our Chenshan oil depot while our proceeds from
such type of disposals in 2014 decreased to RMB24.5 million.

Net cash used in financing activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was RMB3,695.7 million in 2015, while our net cash used in financing activities was RMB2,606.5
million in 2014. The increase was primarily due to the decrease in repayments of borrowings to third parties of RMB18,109.8 million, the effect of which was partially offset by the decrease in proceeds from borrowings from third parties of
RMB18,035.5 million from 2014 to 2015,while our proceeds from borrowings from related parties decreased from RMB7,070.0 million in 2014 to RMB5,720.0 million in 2015 due to the reducing of demands on liquidity.

Our net cash used in financing activities was RMB2,606.5 million in 2014, while our net cash used in financing activities was RMB4,496.9
million in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in repayments of borrowings to third parties of RMB8,256.6 million, the effect of which was partially offset by the decrease in proceeds from borrowings from third parties of RMB7,347.5
million from 2013 to 2014 as we reduced crude oil processing volume in 2014 due to weak customer demand for our petroleum products.

Borrowings and banking facilities

Due to the Companys net
profit position and the reduced capital expenditure, the Company managed to maintain the balance of cash and cash equivalents at a prudent level with a decrease in the amount of borrowings in 2015. Our total borrowings at the end of 2015 amounted to
RMB2,070 million, representing a decrease of RMB3,640.9 million as compared to the end of the previous year, of which short term debts decreased by RMB2,008.2 million, while long term borrowings decreased by RMB1,632.7 million . We have generally
been able to arrange short term loans with several PRC financial institutions as and when needed. The debt obligations as of December 31, 2014 and 2015were as follows.

|(1) | As of December 31, 2015, no borrowings were secured by the way of property, plant and equipment. We obtained a credit rating of AA- for financing loans, assessed
by Centrus Business Credit Consulting Co., Ltd., a credit rating agency authorized by the Peoples Bank of China. As of December 31, 2015, the current liabilities exceeded current assets by RMB417.7 million. The liquidity of the Company is
primarily dependent on the 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 to support its working capital and meet its debt obligation when
they become due. As of December 31, 2015, we had standby credit facilities of RMB28,179.1 million, within which the maturity dates of unused facility amounting to RMB8,300.0 million will be after 31 December 2016. We assessed that all the
facilities could be renewed upon their expiration dates. We have carried out a detailed review of the cash flow forecast for the 12 months ending December 31, 2016. Based on such forecast, we believe that we will be able to renew these
facilities when they expire based on our well-established relationships with various lenders and adequate sources of liquidity exist to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements.

|(2) | We borrowed short term loans from a subsidiary of Sinopec Group, Sinopec Finance Company Limited, on terms no less favorable to us than terms available from the other
commercial banks in China. We have entered into the Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement with Sinopec Group so as to obtain financial services from Sinopec Finance Company Limited for the three years ending December 31, 2014, 2015 and
2016.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our ability to renew our short term borrowings and obtain additional external financing in the future and
the cost of such financing are subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:



| |  |  | the cost of financing and the condition of financial markets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our future operating performance, financial condition and cash flows; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential changes in monetary policy of the Chinese government with respect to bank interest rates and lending practices.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we fail to rollover, extend or refinance our short term borrowings as necessary in a timely manner, we may be unable to meet our
obligations in connection with debt servicing, trade and bills payable and/or other liabilities when they become due. See also Item 3. Key Information  D. Risk Factors - Our development and operation plans have significant capital
expenditure and financing requirements, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

In light of our good credit
standing and various financing channels, we believe that we will not experience any difficulty in obtaining sufficient financing for our operations.

We managed to maintain our asset-liability 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. However, 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

As at December 31, 2015, our liability-to-asset ratio was 27.77% (2014: 45.73%). The ratio is calculated using this formula: total
liabilities/total assets.

Our capital expenditure for 2016 is estimated at approximately RMB1.7 billion.

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

We have a number of technology development units, including the Petrochemical Research Institute, the Plastics Research Institute, the Polyester Fiber Research Institute, the Acrylic Fiber 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 2013, 2014 and 2015 were RMB67.3 million, RMB43.6 million and RMB87.6 million, respectively.

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

D. Trend Information

In 2016, the global economy is expected to be largely uncertain and recover slowly from the financial crisis. Although the rebound of the U.S. economy may improve the worlds economy, the U.S.s
exit of its quantitative easing monetary policy may have an impact on the economies of emerging markets. Given the high level of debts of developed countries and the slowing growth rates in major economies, emerging markets are expected to enhance
their efforts to adjust the structures of their economies for further development.

There exists uncertainty in Chinas
economic development. Chinas economy is expected to continue to grow steadily; however, a variety of factors, such as difficulties in significantly increasing domestic and foreign demand, will constrain such growth.

Supply in the international crude oil market is expected to be sufficient, while market demand for crude oil may be suppressed by the
pessimistic outlook for the worlds economic growth. The price of crude oil is generally expected to fluctuate in 2016.Given the strong supply of crude oil, the price of crude oil may remain unchanged or even decrease.

Against this backdrop of economic and market conditions, the domestic petroleum and petrochemical markets are expected to face a tougher
external business environment with market competition intensifying due to the slowing growth rate in market demand, excessive production capacity of refineries in China and abundant supply of imported petrochemical products. Stricter regulations in
relation to environmental protection and resources conservation will also result in greater challenges to manufacturers.

C. Board Practices.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors consists of twelve members. Our directors are elected at meetings of our shareholders, and, unless they resign at an earlier date, are deceased or removed, will serve three-year
terms. The directors shall be eligible for reelection upon expiry of their terms of office; however, the combined tenure of an independent director may not exceed a total of six years. The term of our current board of directors will expire in June
2017. None of our directors have entered into any service contracts with us or any of our subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of appointment or employment (with the exception of compensation required by Chinese labor law).

Independent Board Committee

We formed an Independent Board Committee on October 24, 2013, which consists of four independent non-executive directors. The current members are Cai Tingji, Zhang Yimin, Liu Yunhong and Du Weifeng.
The Independent Board Committee advised our shareholders other than Sinopec Corp. and its associates in respect of the terms of the continuing connected transactions under the renewed Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement with
Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp. and the renewed Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement with Sinopec Group and the proposed caps on annual transaction values thereof for the three years ending December 31, 2016.

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 2017. 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
HKSE, we formed an audit committee on June 15, 1999 which consists of three directors. The current members are Cai Tingji, Liu Yunhong and Du Weifeng. The principal duty of the audit committee is to review and supervise our financial reporting
process and internal controls. The members of the audit committee will hold office for the same term as their directorships which will expire in June 2017.

Remuneration Committee

We formed a remuneration committee on
December 25, 2001 which consists of three directors. The current members are Zhang Yimin, Du Weifeng and Ye Guohua. The key responsibility of the Remuneration Committee is to formulate and review the remuneration policy and plan for the
directors and executive officers, formulate the standards for evaluation of the directors and executive officers and conduct such evaluations.

Summary Corporate Governance Differences

There are significant differences
between our corporate governance practices and those of U.S. issuers listed on the NYSE. Pursuant to Section 303A.11 of the NYSE listing Manual, we have disclosed certain of these differences on our website at
http://www.spc-ir.com.hk/eng/company.asp.

D. Employees.

As of December 31, 2015, we had 12,159 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:



|                                             |  |              |        |  |      |  |        |      |  |  |        |

|Total                                        |  |              | 14,127 |  |      |  | 13,313 |      |  |  | 12,159 |

Approximately 48.25% of our work force are graduates with a tertiary degree or higher. In addition, we
offer our employees opportunities for education and training based upon our development plans and requirements 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, 2015, 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 labor 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 2015, we incurred RMB2,572.9 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. In order to safeguard and properly enhance the living level of retired employees and improve the medium and long term incentive system, the company established an enterprise annuity
plan. According to the plan, to the extent that the employees volunteer for the related payments and have been with the Company for one year or more, such employees are entitled to participate in the enterprise annuity plan. We will make payments to
match the payments made by the employees after giving considerations to our profitability, the employees work responsibilities, contributions, and treatments post retirement based on the principle of universal benefits. We have 17,078 retired
employees under the above retirement insurance plans.

In addition to the pension benefits, pursuant to the relevant laws and
regulations of the PRC, we and our employees participate in defined social security contributions for employees, such as a housing fund, basic medical insurance, supplementary medical insurance, unemployment insurance, injury insurance and maternity
insurance.

Share Option Incentive Scheme

We adopted a share option incentive
scheme on December 23, 2014, pursuant to which our directors, senior management members and key business personnel may be granted options to purchase our A shares. Under the share option incentive scheme, the total number of underlying shares
to be granted shall neither exceed 10% of the total share capital of the Company nor exceed 10% of the total A-share capital of the Company. Unless approved by the shareholders as a special resolution at a general meeting of the Company, the
aggregate number of A shares to be acquired by each grantee through the share option scheme and other effective share option schemes of the Company (if any) at any time shall not exceed 1% of the total A-share capital of the Company. The exercisable
period for the share options shall be three years, commencing from the expiry of the two-year period after the grant date, and the vesting period for each grant under the scheme shall be no less than two years. The exercise price of a share under
initial grant will be determined by our board of directors in its discretion, which shall not be lower than the highest of: (1) the closing price of the A shares of the Company on the trading day immediately before the date of announcement on
the summary of the draft scheme, which was RMB3.29 per share; (2) the average closing price of the A shares of the Company for the 30 trading days immediately before the date of announcement on the summary of the draft scheme, which was RMB3.27
per share; and (3) RMB4.20 per share. The exercise price for further grant shall be the higher of: (1) the closing price of the A shares of the Company on the trading day immediately before the date of announcement on the summary of the
draft proposal for each grant; and (2) the average closing price of the A shares of the Company for the 30 trading days immediately before the date of announcement on the summary of the draft proposal for each grant. The expiration date of this
scheme is December 22, 2024.

On January 6, 2015, our board of directors approved the proposal of the initial grant
of the share option incentive scheme. A total of 38,760,000 share options were granted to 214 participants, among which 2,540,000 were granted to six of our directors and senior management. The total number of underlying stock accounted for 0.359%

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 sales 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 (i.e., related-party) 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.

The table below sets forth certain relevant information regarding our continuing connected
transactions with Sinopec Corp. and Sinopec Group under the Mutual Product Supply and Sales Services Framework Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement in 2015.

Equity joint venture

Late in 2001, we established Secco, a Sino-foreign equity joint venture, together with BP and Sinopec Corp. We own 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 initial registered capital was U.S.$901,440,964, of which we provided the Renminbi equivalent of U.S.$180,287,952.

To fund Seccos new acrylonitrile plant project with a capacity of 260,000 tons/year, its new ethylene plant with a new supercharger, its new butadiene plant with a capacity of 90,000 tons/year, and
its utility facilities upgrading project, in 2013, the shareholders of Secco agreed to increase the registered capital of Secco by U.S.$150,085,618 according to their respective shares in the equity interests in Secco, of which the Company was
obligated to contribute an amount of U.S.$30,017,124 in installments. We have paid U.S.$9,817,718 and U.S.$1,884,050 on December 10, 2013 and March 5, 2014, respectively.

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.

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association.

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.

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) (as amended) 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.

Our Articles of Association provide, at article 11, 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 12 provides that our primary business scope includes:

Refining crude oil, petroleum products,
petrochemical products, synthetic fibers and monomers, plastic products, raw materials for knitting and textile products, preparation of catalysts and recover waste catalysts, power, heat, water and gas supply, water treatment, railway cargo loading
and unloading, inland water transport, wharf operation, warehousing, design, research and development, technology development, transfer, consultancy and other services, property management, lease of self-owned premises, internal staff training,
design and fabrication of various advertisements, and release of advertisements on self-owned media (administrative license should be obtained when required). 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 former State Council Securities Committee and the former 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 authorized by the State.

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.

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 the controlling shareholder. 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. In accordance with the Company Law of the Peoples Republic
of China, if a company incurs losses due to the violation of any provision of laws, administrative regulations or the companys articles of association by any of its directors, supervisors and officers during his/her discharge of duties
entrusted by the company, or due to any other persons infringement of the companys legal rights or interests, the shareholders of the company may take legal action before a court under the Company Law of the Peoples Republic of
China.

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

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.

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

Upon approval by ordinary resolution at a shareholders meeting, our Board of Directors may propose dividend distribution at any
time. The Articles of Association permits dividends issued in the form of cash or shares. Special resolution of the shareholders general meeting is required for dividends issued in the form of shares.

##### Table of Contents

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



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



| |  |  | allocations to the statutory common reserve fund; 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  E. 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 five as required by the Chinese Company Law or two-thirds of the number specified in our Articles of
Association;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. The Board of Directors, the Supervisory Committee, and shareholders individually or collectively holding 3% or more of our total voting shares are entitled to make written proposals to a
shareholders meeting. Shareholders individually or collectively holding more than 3% of our total shares may submit written interim proposals to the convener of a shareholders meeting ten days before the 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. 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 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 3% 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;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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.

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;

| |  |  | 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 12 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 3% or more of our shares (independent directors may be nominated by shareholders each holding 1% 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.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 board of directors 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 the controlling shareholder, discussed below, our shareholders in general meeting have the power to relieve a director or supervisor from liability for specific breaches of duty.

Cumulative voting is required for a meeting of shareholders held for the election of two or more of our directors or supervisors 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.

resignation will only become effective after a new Independent Director has been appointed.

Our Board will be required to

Directors may miss three consecutive meetings in person before being proposed for removal.

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.

right to nominate candidates for Independent Director or Independent Supervisor and shareholders holding three percent or more of our shares have the right to nominate other candidates for Director or Supervisor. For candidates for Director, the
nominator and candidates 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 CSRC may veto any candidate for Independent Director.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of our liquidation, payment of borrowings out of our remaining assets will be made in the order of priority prescribed by
applicable laws and regulations. After payment of borrowings, 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 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 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).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 in the last two years other than in the ordinary course of business and other than those described in Item 4. Information on the Companyor
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 SAFE, under
supervision of the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) controls the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency. Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to reduce restrictions on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign
currency for current account items. In recent years, the Chinese government has gradually simplified and improved the foreign exchange administration policies in relation to capital items, such as the cancellation of foreign exchange registration
and approval for domestic and overseas foreign direct investment. However, foreign exchange control over the capital items is not completely abolished. The limitations on foreign exchange could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through
borrowings 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 U.S. dollar. Nevertheless, the Chinese 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 U.S. dollar. The value of the Renminbi depreciated by 4.4% against the U.S. dollar in the year 2015.

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 U.S. 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 Mellon, as Depositary. The HK dollar is currently linked to and trades within a narrow band
against the U.S. dollar at a rate that does not deviate significantly from HK$7.80 = U.S.$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 June 30, 2011 (the Individual Income Tax Law) dividends paid by Chinese companies to
individual investors are subject to Chinese withholding tax at a flat rate of 20%. As for a foreign individual investor that neither has a domicile nor resides in China, or that has no domicile and has resided in China for no more than one year, the
dividends received by such an investor in China are generally subject to a withholding tax at a flat rate of 20% under the individual income tax law, subject to exemption or reduction by an applicable income tax treaty. According to the State
Administration of Taxations tax treatments with regard to the dividends of H shares paid by onshore non-foreign invested enterprises listed on HKEx, we will withhold and pay the individual income tax at the tax rate of 10% for individual
shareholders who are residents of Hong Kong, Macau, or countries which have entered into tax treaties with mainland China, which provide for a 10% dividends tax rate, and we will temporarily withhold and pay the individual income tax at the tax rate
of 10% for individual shareholders who are residents of countries which have entered into tax treaties with mainland China, which provide for a less than 10% dividends tax rate. Shareholders of H Shares may directly or through our Company apply to
the in-charge tax authority for the preferential treatments provided by the relevant tax treaties. Upon the approval by the in-charge tax authority, the excessive amount being paid will be refunded. For individual shareholders who are residents of
countries which have entered into tax treaties with mainland China providing for a more than 10% but less than 20% dividends tax rate, we will withhold and pay the individual income tax at the specific tax rate required therein. We will withhold and
pay the individual income tax at the dividends tax rate of 20% for individual shareholders who are residents of countries which have not entered into any forms of tax treaties with mainland China or in circumstances other than above described.

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

For an Individual Investor

So far as we are aware, in practice, capital gains derived by a foreign individual investor from the sale of overseas-listed shares are temporarily exempted from individual income tax.



74



---

##### Table of Contents

For a Corporation

According to the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, a non-resident enterprise is subject to a 10% withholding tax for
capital gains derived from the disposal of overseas-listed shares unless such payment is exempted or deducted pursuant to applicable double taxation treaties or otherwise. According to the Circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation on
Issues regarding Income Tax Payable by Foreign Invested Enterprises, Foreign Enterprises and Individuals for Capital Gains Derived from the Disposal of Shares (Equity Interests) and Dividends (Guoshuifa [1993] No. 45), capital gains derived by
a non-resident enterprise from the disposal of overseas-listed shares are temporarily exempted from withholding tax in China. However, this circular has been revoked in 2011. Therefore, technically, PRC withholding tax should be applied to
non-resident enterprises on capital gains derived from the disposal of overseas-listed shares unless it is tax exempted under the applicable double tax treaty. So far as we are aware, practically, there is no consistent enforcement of the collection
of such withholding tax in China at current stage. However, we are aware of cases where the PRC tax authorities try to levy PRC withholding tax when they became aware of the disposal of the overseas-listed shares that the profits from the disposal
of shares are derived from China.

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.

However, if certain conditions under the double tax treaty are satisfied (e.g., the shareholding in H-shares is less than 25% and the H-share company is not land rich), the capital
gains may be exempted from the 10% PRC withholding tax.

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 to U.S. Holders (as defined below). 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 (IRS), and judicial
decisions, all as currently available 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, or the net investment income 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; entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income taxes or partners therein; 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.

##### Table of Contents

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.

This summary is directed solely to U.S. Holders (defined below) 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; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

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 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.

We do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a
distribution generally will 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), dividends
that are treated as qualified dividend income (QDI) are taxable at a maximum tax rate of 20%. 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 NYSE.

##### Table of Contents

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 generally will be ordinary
income or loss and U.S. source for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

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.

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 generally will 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).

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.

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. Capital gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of H Shares or ADSs held by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders will be taxed at preferential rates if such H Shares or ADSs have been
held for more than one year and certain other requirements are met. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. The gain or loss generally will be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit
limitation 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 a current valuation of our assets including goodwill, not reflected in our financial statements, and our projection of our income for the current year. We determine the
value of our assets in large part by reference to the market value of our ordinary shares at the end of each quarter. We believe this valuation approach is reasonable. However, if the IRS successfully challenged our valuation of our assets, or if
the market price of our ordinary shares were to fluctuate, it could result in our classification as 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.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S.
Holder holds H Shares or ADSs, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such holder for all succeeding years during which such holder holds H Shares or ADSs, regardless of whether we continue to meet the income or asset
test. If we are classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders could be subject to additional taxes and a special interest charge in respect of gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of such holders H Shares or ADSs and upon the receipt of
excess distributions (as defined in the Code). In addition, no distribution that U.S. Holders receive from us would qualify for taxation at the preferential rate discussed in Distributions on H Shares or ADSs above, if
we were a PFIC for the taxable year of such distribution or for the preceding taxable year. Moreover, U.S. Holders may be required to file annual tax returns (including on Form 8621) containing such information as the U.S. Treasury requires.

Information reporting regarding specified foreign financial assets

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and under proposed regulations, certain entities) may be required to report information relating
to an interest in our H Shares or ADSs, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions). U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their information
reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of our H Shares or ADSs. In the event a U.S. Holder does not file such required reports, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal
income taxes of such U.S. holder for the related tax year will not close before such report is filed.

If you are a U.S.
Holder, you are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the application of the specified foreign financial assets information reporting requirements and related statute of limitations tolling provisions with respect to our H Shares and
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.

|ITEM 11. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
|-------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Our market risk exposures primarily consist of fluctuations in oil and gas prices, exchange rates and interest rates.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to commodity price risk related
to price volatility of crude oil and refined oil products. We had no program of commodity price hedging activities and did not engage in any such activities in 2014 or 2015. See Item 3. Key Information  D. Risk Factors  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.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to risk resulting from
fluctuations in interest rates. Our borrowings are fixed and variable rate bank and other borrowings, with original maturities ranging from 1 to 5 years. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates can lead to significant fluctuations in the fair
value of such debt instruments. We had no program of interest rate hedging activities and did not engage in any such activities in 2014 or 2015.

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

The Bank of New York Mellon 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 Mellon 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 Mellon may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions.

|ITEM 14. | MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
|-------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 11, 2011, we entered into an Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary (the
 Restated Deposit Agreement), and updated the form of American Depositary Receipt (the ADR) evidencing the ADSs issued under the terms of the Restated Deposit Agreement. The Restated Deposit Agreement restates our original
Deposit Agreement with The Bank of New York (the predecessor of The Bank of New York Mellon), dated as of July 23, 1993 (as amended, the 1993 Deposit Agreement), in its entirety.

We and The Bank of New York Mellon entered into the Restated Deposit Agreement to modify the ADSs voting process and to bring our
arrangements with The Bank of New York Mellon in line with the current customary market practice regarding depositary arrangements.

##### Table of Contents

By the Restated Deposit Agreement, subject to the Depositarys obligation to notify the
owner of ADSs of any meeting of holders of our shares or other deposited securities, and subject further to certain exceptions as provided therein, to the extent that no instructions are received by the Depositary from an owner of ADSs on or before
the date established by the Depositary, the Depositary may deem instructions by the owner of the ADS have been given to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us to exercise voting rights in the meeting of holders of our shares or
other deposited securities.

In addition, the Restated Deposit Agreement amends the 1993 Deposit Agreement, among other
things, to (i) provide the American Depositary Shares may be uncertificated securities or certificated securities evidenced by ADRs, and (ii) change the fees and charges of the Depositary, see Item 12D.3 Fees and Charges that a
holder of our ADSs May Have to Pay.

The foregoing descriptions of the Restated Deposit Agreement and the ADR do not
purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete Restated Deposit Agreement and ADR which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2 and the forms filed on Form F-6 (File number 033-65616) on May 4,
2011.



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

(a). 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 to our Board of Directors and subject to execution by either the Chairman of our
Board of Directors or, for disclosures by our Supervisory Committee, the Chairman of the Supervisory Committee. 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 ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the management to allow timely
decisions to be made regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

(b). Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is accountable for establishing and maintaining effective 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 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.

Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives and 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 ineffective 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 (2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as of December 31, 2015. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015 based on these criteria.

Sinopec
Group Company, the controlling shareholder of Sinopec Corp., adopted a Staff Code in 2014 to provide disciplines and requirements for its staffs conducts, including legal and ethical matters as well as the sensitivities involved in reporting
illegal and unethical matters. The Staff Code covers such areas as health, safety and environment, conflict of interests, anti-corruption, protection and proper use of our assets and properties, as well as reporting requirements. The Staff Code also
applies to all directors, officers and employees of each subsidiary of Sinopec Group Company, including us. We have provided all our directors and senior officers with a copy of the Staff Code and required them to comply with in it order to ensure
our operations are proper and lawful. We have posted the Staff Code on the following website: http://english.sinopec.com/corporateculture/.

|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 no less than 1/3rd of the board members of any listed company must be independent directors, and the listed
company must 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.

|                |  | The purposes and responsibilities of the compensation committee stated in its charter must include:
(1) reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives associated the with the CEOs compensation, evaluate the performance of the CEO in
fulfilling these goals and objectives, and, either as a committee or together with the other independent directors (as directed by the board), determine and approve the CEOs compensation level based on such evaluation;
(2) making 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; and (3) producing 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) reviewing 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; and
(2) reviewing 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 evaluation committee with a majority of the members being 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 the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (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 the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules and , in the absence
of an applicable exemption, 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, the qualifications and independence of the independent auditors, the performance of the
listed companys internal audit function and 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 written charter must also address the duties and responsibilities of the audit
committee as required under Section 303A.07 of the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules. |  | 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.

|Code of Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees |  | Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or
executive officers. Each listed company may determine its own policies, but all listed companies should address the most important topics, including, among others, conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality, fair dealing,
protection and proper use of listed company assets, compliance with laws, rules and regulations (including insider trading laws), and encouraging the reporting of any illegal or unethical behavior. |  | There is no such requirement for a code for ethics in China. As the directors and officers of the Company have all signed a Director Service Agreement, however, they are bound by
their fiduciary duties to the Company. In addition, the directors and officers must perform their legal duties in accordance with the Company Law of the PRC, relevant requirements of CSRC and Mandatory Provisions to the Charter of Companies Listed
Overseas.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Sinopec Shanghai
Petrochemical Company Limited:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the
Group) at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria
established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing
under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting 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 audits also included performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the
year ended 31 December 2015



|1 | General information
|- | -------------------

Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (the Company), formerly Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited,
was established in the Peoples Republic of China (the PRC) on 29 June 1993 as a joint stock limited company to hold the assets and liabilities of the production divisions and certain other units of Shanghai Petrochemical
Complex (SPC), a state-owned enterprise. The Company was under the direct supervision of China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group) at that time.

The Company completed its initial public offerings in 1993. Its shares commenced listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (H
shares) and the New York Stock Exchange in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADS) on 26 July 1993, and were also listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (ordinary A shares) on 8 November 1993.

Sinopec Group completed its reorganisation on 25 February 2000. After the reorganisation, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation
(Sinopec Corp.) was established. As part of the reorganisation, Sinopec Group transferred its 4,000,000,000 of the Companys state-owned legal shares, which represented 55.56 percent of the issued share capital of the Company, to
Sinopec Corp.

The Company changed its name to Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited on 12 October 2000, and Sinopec Corp.
was the largest shareholder of the Company.

Pursuant to the Approval on matters relating to the Share Segregation Reform of Sinopec
Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (State Owned Property [2013] No.443), a General Meeting of A share shareholders was held on 8 July 2013
and passed the resolution of Share Segregation Reform of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (Amendment) (the Share Segregation Reform Resolution) which was published by the Company on Shanghai Stock Exchange
(SSE) website on 20 June 2013.

According to the Share Segregation Reform Resolution, the controlling shareholder of the
Company, Sinopec Corp., offered shareholders of circulating A shares 5 shares for every 10 circulating A shares they held on 16 August 2013, aggregating 360,000,000 A shares, for the purpose of obtaining the listing rights of its
non-circulating shares in the A Shares market. From 20 August 2013 (the circulation date), all the Companys non-circulating A shares have been granted circulating rights on Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). As part of
the restricted conditions, Sinopec Corp. committed that all the 3,640,000,000 A shares held were not allowed to be traded on SSE or transferred within 12 months from the circulation date (the restriction period). After the restriction
period, Sinopec Corp. can only sell no more than 5 and 10 percent of its total shares within 12 and 24 months, respectively. The former 150,000,000 non-circulating A shares held by social legal persons were also prohibited to be traded on SSE or
transferred within 12 months from the circulation date. Meanwhile, Sinopec Corp. also committed in the Share Segregation Reform Resolution that a scheme of converting surplus to share capital (no less than 4 shares for every 10 shares) will be
proposed on the board of directors and shareholders meetings within 6 months after the circulation date.

The 15th meeting of the 7th term
of Board of Directors was held on 28 August 2013 and the Company proposed and passed a resolution regarding interim cash dividend for the first half of 2013 and the conversion of share premium and surplus reserve to share capital. The
resolution included a distribution of 5 shares and a cash dividend distribution of RMB0.5 (tax included) for every 10 shares based on the 7,200,000 thousands ordinary shares as at 30 June 2013. Among the 5 shares distributed, 3.36 shares were

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2015



|2 | Summary of significant accounting policies
|- | ------------------------------------------

The principal accounting policies applied in
the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.



|2.1 | Basis of preparation
|--- | --------------------

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated
financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.



|2.1.1 | Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
|----- | --------------------------------------------



|(a) | New and amended standards adopted by the Group
|--- | ----------------------------------------------

The following amendments to standards have been
adopted by the Group for the first time for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2015. None of them have a material impact on the Group.



| |  |  | Amendment from annual improvements to IFRSs  2010  2012 Cycle, on IFRS 8, Operating segments, IAS 16, Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38, Intangible assets and IAS
24, Related party disclosures;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Amendments from annual improvements to IFRSs  2011  2013 Cycle, on IFRS 3, Business combinations, IFRS 13, Fair value measurement and IAS 40, Investment property.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | New Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap.622)
|--- | -------------------------------------------

In addition, the requirements of Part 9
Accounts and Audit of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) come into operation during the financial year, as a result, there are changes to presentation and disclosures of certain information in the consolidated financial
statements.



|(c) | New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
|--- | -------------------------------------------------

A number of new standards and amendments to
standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those applicable to the Group are listed below.

IFRS 9, Financial instruments, on classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It
replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. This standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. It is expected to have no significant impact on
the consolidated financial statement of the Group.

IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers deals with revenue
recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entitys contracts with customers. This standard
is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group is assessing IFRS 15s full impact.

IFRS 16,
Lease provides updated guidance on the definition of leases, and the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts and requires lessees to recognise lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a
right-of-use-asset for almost all lease contracts, with an exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group is
assessing the impact of IFRS 16.

|2 | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
|- | ------------------------------------------------------



|2.2 | Subsidiaries
|--- | ------------



|2.2.1 | Consolidation
|----- | -------------

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the
Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.



|(a) | Business combinations
|--- | ---------------------

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business
combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The
consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entitys net assets in the event of liquidation are measured at either
fair value or the present ownership interests proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquirees identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition date fair value,
unless another measurement basis is required by IFRS.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirers previously held equity interest
in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair
value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39 in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is
accounted for within equity.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and
the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill. If the total consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and
previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

Intra-Group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also
eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Groups accounting policies.



|(b) | Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transactions with
non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions  that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any
consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

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



|2.2 | Subsidiaries (continued)
|--- | ------------------------



|2.2.1 | Consolidation (continued)
|----- | -------------------------



|(c) | Disposal of subsidiaries
|--- | ------------------------

When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the
entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained
interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or
liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.



|2.2.2 | Separate financial statements
|----- | -----------------------------

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost
less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the
total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the
investees net assets including goodwill.



|2.3 | Associates
|--- | ----------

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but
not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at
cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investors share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Groups investments in associates include goodwill identified on
acquisition. Upon the acquisition of the ownership interest in an associate, any difference between the cost of the associate and the Groups share of the net fair value of the associates identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted
for as goodwill.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of
the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

The Groups
share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying
amount of the investment. When the Groups share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or
constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any
objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the
amount adjacent to share of profit of investments accounted for using equity method in the income statement.

|2 | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
|- | ------------------------------------------------------



|2.3 | Associates (continued)
|--- | ----------------------



Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and
its associates are recognized in the Groups financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the
asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Gain or losses on dilution of equity interest in associates are recognised in the income statement.



|2.4 | Joint arrangements
|--- | ------------------

The Group has applied IFRS 11 to all joint arrangements. Under IFRS
11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them
to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint
ventures are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Groups share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. The Groups investments in joint ventures include
goodwill identified on acquisition. Upon the acquisition of the ownership interest in a joint venture, any difference between the cost of the joint venture and the Groups share of the net fair value of the joint ventures identifiable
assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill. When the Groups share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the
Groups net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the
joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Group.



|2.5 | Segment reporting
|--- | -----------------

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the steering committee
that makes strategic decisions.

|2.6 | Foreign currency translation
|--- | ----------------------------



|(a) | Functional and presentation currency
|--- | ------------------------------------

Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Groups entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB, which is the Companys
functional and the Groups presentation currency.



|(b) | Transactions and balances
|--- | -------------------------

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within
finance income or expenses. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within other gains-net.



|2.7 | Property, plant and equipment
|--- | -----------------------------

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical
cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income
statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the
straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:



|                             |  |  |             | 
|---------------------------- |  |  | ----------- | 
|Buildings                    |  |  | 12-40 years | 
|Plant and machinery          |  |  | 12-20 years | 
|Vehicles and other equipment |  |  | 4-20 years  | 

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period.

An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.11).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the
proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within Other gains-net in the income statement.

|2.8 | 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. 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.



|2.9 | Investment properties
|--- | ---------------------

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 (Note 2.11). 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 30-40 years.



|2.10 | 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 amortisation and impairment losses. Lease prepayments and other assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the respective
periods of the rights and the estimated useful lives of the catalysts.



|2.11 | Impairment of non-financial assets
|---- | ----------------------------------

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful
life or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell
and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment
are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

|2.12 | Financial assets
|---- | ----------------



|2.12.1 | Classification
|------ | --------------

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories:
at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial
recognition.



|(a) | Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------

Financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are
designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.



|(b) | Loans and receivables
|--- | ---------------------

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as
non-current assets. The Groups loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, bills receivable and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet (Note 2.17 and 2.18).



|(c) | Available-for-sale financial assets
|--- | -----------------------------------

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives
that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting
period.

|2.12 | Financial assets (continued)
|---- | ----------------------------



|2.12.2 | Recognition and measurement
|------ | ---------------------------

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are
recognized on the trade-date  the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or
loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the
investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried
at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses
arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the income statement within Other gains-net in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement as part of other income when the Groups right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive
income.

When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity
are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.

Interest on available-for-sale securities
calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the income statement as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in the income statement as part of other income when the Groups
right to receive payments is established.



|2.13 | Offsetting financial instruments
|---- | --------------------------------

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the
net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally
enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.

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



|2.14 | Impairment of financial assets
|---- | ------------------------------



|(a) | Assets carried at amortised cost
|--- | --------------------------------

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period
whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as
a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets
that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the receivables or a group of receivables is
experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable
decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and
receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the
financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for
measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instruments fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtors credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement.



|(b) | Financial assets classified as available for sale
|--- | -------------------------------------------------

The Group assesses at the end of each
reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

For debt
securities, if any such evidence exists, the cumulative loss  measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss 
is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement.

For equity
investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, the cumulative loss  measured as the difference between the
acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss  is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in the consolidated
income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement.

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



|2.15 | Derivative financial instruments
|---- | --------------------------------

Derivative financial instruments of the Group are
foreign exchange forward contracts, which was not designated as hedges.

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair
value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value.

Fair values are
obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including recent market transactions, and through the use of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and options pricing models, as appropriate. All derivatives are carried as
assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.

The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at
initial recognition is the transaction price (i.e., the fair value of the consideration given or received) unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument
or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. When such evidence exists, the Group recognizes profits (losses) on that day.



|2.16 | Inventories
|---- | -----------

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes
borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.



|2.17 | Trade receivables, bills receivable and other receivables
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------

Trade receivables and bills
receivable are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade receivables, bills receivable and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal
operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade
receivables, bills receivable and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.



|2.18 | Cash and cash equivalents
|---- | -------------------------

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. In the Groups balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within
borrowings in current liabilities.



|2.19 | Share capital
|---- | -------------

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

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



|2.20 | Safety production fund
|---- | ----------------------

Under Chinas law and regulation, the Group is required to
accrue safety production fund at a certain percentage of the sales of dangerous goods. The fund is earmarked for improving the safety of production. The fund is accrued from retained earnings to other reserves and converted back to retained earnings
when used.



|2.21 | Trade payables and other payables
|---- | ---------------------------------

Trade payables and other payables are obligations to
pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables and other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle
of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables and other payables are recognized
initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.



|2.22 | Borrowings
|---- | ----------

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs
incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective
interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it
is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is
capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are
classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.



|2.23 | Borrowing costs
|---- | ---------------

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are
substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending
their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are
recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

|2.24 | Current and deferred income tax
|---- | -------------------------------

The tax expense for the period comprises current and
deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity, respectively.

|(a) | Current income tax
|--- | ------------------

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Companys subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to
situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.



|(b) | Deferred income tax
|--- | -------------------

Inside basis differences

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized.

Outside basis differences

Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint
arrangements, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the
Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for associates. Only when there is an agreement in place that gives the Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference in the foreseeable future, deferred tax
liability in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from the associates undistributed profits is not recognised.

Deferred
income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is
sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.



|(c) | Offsetting
|--- | ----------

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable
entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

|2.25 | Employee benefits
|---- | -----------------



|(a) | Pension obligations
|--- | -------------------

The PRC employees of the Group are covered by various PRC
government-sponsored defined-contribution pension plans under which the employees are entitled to a monthly pension based on certain formulas. The relevant government agencies are responsible for the pension liability to these employees when they
retire. The Group contributes on a monthly basis to these pension plans for the employees which are determined at a certain percentage of their salaries. Under these plans, the Group has no obligation for post-retirement benefits beyond the
contribution made. Contributions to these plans are expensed as incurred and contributions paid to the defined contribution pension plans for a staff are not available to reduce the Groups future obligations to such defined-contribution
pension plans even if the staff leaves the Group.



|(b) | Termination benefits
|--- | --------------------

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the
Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: when 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. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are
discounted to their present value.



|2.26 | Share-based payment
|---- | -------------------



|(a) | Equity-settled share-based payment transactions
|--- | -----------------------------------------------

The Group operates a number of equity-settled,
share-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is
recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:



| |  |  | may including any market performance conditions such as an entitys share price;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions such as profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | including the impact of any non-vesting conditions such as the requirement for employees to save or holding shares for a specified period of time.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the
non-marketing performance and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

In addition, in some circumstances employees may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is
estimated for the purposes of recognising the expense during the period between service commencement period and grant date.

When the
options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (and share premium).



|(b) | Share-based payment transactions among Group entities
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------

The grant by the Company of options over
its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting
period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity in the parent entity accounts.

|2.27 | Provisions
|---- | ----------

Provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal
claims are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.
Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the
class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.



|2.28 | Revenue recognition
|---- | -------------------

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes. The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Groups activities, as described below. The Group bases its estimates of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customers,
the type of transactions and the specifics of each arrangement.



|(a) | Sales of petroleum and chemical products
|--- | ----------------------------------------

Revenues associated with the sale of petroleum and
chemical products are recognized in the income statement 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.



|(b) | Pipeline transportation services
|--- | --------------------------------

Revenues associated with pipeline transportation services are
recognized by reference to the stage of completion (that is, when the services are rendered) of the transaction at the end of the reporting period and when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. The outcome of the transaction can
be estimated reliably when the amount of revenue, the costs incurred and the stage of completion can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group.



|(c) | Rental income
|--- | -------------

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

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



|2.29 | Interest income
|---- | ---------------

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When
a loan and receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as
interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate.



|2.30 | Dividend income
|---- | ---------------

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is
established.



|2.31 | Government grants
|---- | -----------------

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where
there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants
relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

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 the income statement over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.



|2.32 | Leases
|---- | ------

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are
retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.



|2.33 | Dividend distribution
|---- | ---------------------

Dividend distribution to the Companys shareholders is
recognized as a liability in the Groups financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Companys shareholders.



|2.34 | 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 recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

|3 | Financial risk management
|- | -------------------------



|3.1 | Financial risk factors
|--- | ----------------------

The Groups activities exposed it to a variety of financial
risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk. The Groups overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of
financial markets and commodity markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Groups financial performance.

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



|3.1 | Financial risk factors (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------------



|(a) | Market risk
|--- | -----------



|(i) | Foreign exchange risk
|--- | ---------------------

The Groups major operational activities are carried out in
Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. Nevertheless the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities (mainly trade payables and borrowings), and future transactions
denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to USD and EUR. The Groups finance department at its headquarter is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to
minimise the foreign exchange risk. The Group entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate foreign exchange risk arising from borrowings denominated in EUR (Note 8). As at 31 December 2015, the Group had no outstanding borrowings
denominated in USD or EUR.

As at 31 December 2015, if the foreign currencies had weakened/strengthened by 5% against RMB with all
other variables held constant, the Groups net profit for the year would have been 3,605 thousands increased/decreased as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses which is mainly resulted from the translation of USD denominated trade payables
(2014: RMB107,395 thousands decreased/increased in net loss which was mainly resulted from the translation of USD denominated trade payables and EUR denominated borrowings).



|(ii) | Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
|---- | -------------------------------------------

The Groups interest rate risk arises from
short-term and long-term interest bearing borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines
the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. As at 31 December 2015, the Groups short-term interest bearing borrowings denominated with floating rates amounted to
RMB2,000,000 thousands (31 December 2014: the Groups short-term and long-term interest bearing borrowings denominated with floating rates amounted to RMB4,640,875 thousands), which represented 97% of total borrowing balance.

The Groups finance department at its headquarter continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. Increases in interest
rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Groups outstanding floating rate borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Groups financial position. The Group makes
adjustments timely with reference to the latest market conditions and may enter into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk. During the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2014, the Group did not enter into
any interest rate swap agreements.

As at 31 December 2015, if interest rates on the floating rate borrowings had risen/fallen by 50
basis points while all other variables had been held constant, the Groups net profit would have decreased/increased by approximately RMB7,500 thousands (31 December 2014: RMB17,403 thousands increased/decreased in net loss).

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



|3.1 | Financial risk factors (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------------



|(b) | Credit risk
|--- | -----------

Credit risk is managed on group basis. It mainly arises from cash at bank, trade
receivables, other receivables, bills receivable, etc.

The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at
bank since they are deposited at state-owned banks and other medium or large size listed banks. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

In addition, the Group has policies to limit the credit exposure on accounts receivable, other receivables and bills receivable. The Group
assesses the credit quality of and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, the availability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The
credit history of the customers is regularly monitored by the Group. In respect of customers with a poor credit history, the Group will use written payment reminders, or shorten or cancel credit periods, to ensure the overall credit risk of the
Group is limited to a controllable extent.



|(c) | Liquidity risk
|--- | --------------

Cash flow forecast is performed by the operating entities of the Group and
aggregated by Group finance. Group finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Groups liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing
facilities from major financial institution so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.

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 its ability to obtain adequate external financing to support its working capital and meet its debt obligation when they become due. As at 31 December 2015, the Group had standby credit facilities with several PRC
financial institutions which provided the Group to borrow up to RMB28,179,120 thousands, within which the maturity dates of unused facility amounted to RMB8,300,000 thousands will be after 31 December 2016 as disclosed in Note 26. Management
assessed that all the facilities could be renewed upon the expiration dates.

Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above
balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. As at 31 December 2015, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of RMB1,077,430 thousands ( at 31 December 2014: RMB279,198 thousands) (Note 22) and
trade receivables of RMB488,560 thousands (2014: RMB630,883 thousands) (Note 21) that can be readily realized to provide further source of cash when the need arises.

The table below analyses the Groups non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period
at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

|(d) | Commodity price risk
|--- | --------------------

The Group principally engages in processing crude oil into synthetic
fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products. The selling price of petroleum products is periodically adjusted by government department based on the market price adjustment mechanism, and generally in connection
with the crude oil price. The selling prices of synthetic fibres, resins and plastics and intermediate petrochemicals are market prices. The Group did not have any derivative financial instrument such as commodity futures and swaps, therefore the
fluctuation of crude oil price could have significant impact on the Group.



|3.2 | Capital management
|--- | ------------------

The Groups objectives when managing capital are to safeguard
the Groups ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to
shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the
basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and
cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

|3.2 | Capital management (continued)
|--- | ------------------------------



The gearing ratios at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 were as follows:

The decrease in the gearing ratio during the year ended 31 December 2015 resulted primarily from the
significantly improved profitability and the early repayment of some bank loans before its maturity



|3.3 | Fair value estimation
|--- | ---------------------

The Company analyses the financial instruments carried at fair
value, as at 31 December 2015 by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorised into three levels within the fair value hierarchy as follows:



| |  |  | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level3).
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value mainly represent cash and cash equivalents, bills receivable, trade
receivables and other receivables (except for the prepayments), trade and other payables (except for the advance from customers, staff salaries and welfare payables and other taxes payables) and borrowings. As at 31 December 2015, the carrying
amounts of these financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

As at
31 December 2015, the Group had no unsettled forward contract (Note 8).

According to the offsetting master arrangement entered into in October 2014 between the Company and its related
party, Shanghai Secco Petrochemical Company Limited, the relevant financial assets and liabilities of each operating agreement between the Group and Shanghai Secco Petrochemical Company Limited, are settled on a net basis each month.



|4 | Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
|- | ---------------------------------------------

Estimates and assumptions are continually
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.



|4.1 | Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
|--- | ---------------------------------------------

The Group makes estimates and assumptions
concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.



|(a) | Impairments for long-lived assets
|--- | ---------------------------------

Assets, that have an indefinite useful life, must be tested
annually for impairment. Long term assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the
amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated
by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value. Management 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.

|4 | Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
|- | -------------------------------------------------------



|4.1 | Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | Useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------

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. Management 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, taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future
periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.



|(c) | Allowance for diminution in value of inventories
|--- | ------------------------------------------------

If the costs of inventories exceed 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 the estimate.



|(d) | Recognition of deferred tax assets
|--- | ----------------------------------

There are many transactions and events for which the
ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgment is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these
matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of temporary deductible differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses. Management
recognises deferred tax assets only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against the assets which can be realised or utilised. At the end of each reporting period, management assesses whether previously
unrecognised deferred tax assets should be recognized. The Group recognises a previously unrecognised deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be utilised. In addition,
management assesses the carrying amount of deferred tax assets that are recognised at the end of each reporting period. The Group reduces the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
profit will be available for the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

In making the assessment of whether it is probable the Group will
realize or utilise the deferred tax assets, management primarily relies on the generation of future taxable income to support the recognition of deferred tax assets. In order to fully utilize the deferred tax assets recognized at 31 December
2015, the Group would need to generate future taxable income of at least RMB284 million. Based on estimated forecast and historical experience, management believes that it is probable that the Group will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize
the deferred tax assets.

|5 | Segment information
|- | -------------------

The Group manages its business by divisions, which are organized by
business lines. 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 five reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.

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 investments accounted for using the equity method, deferred income tax assets, cash and cash equivalents and incomes relating to these assets (such as share of profit of investments accounted for using equity
method and interest income), borrowings and interest expenses, and corporate assets and expenses.

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



|(i) | The synthetic fibres segment produces primarily polyester and acrylic fibres, which are mainly used in the textile and apparel industries.

|12 | Income tax (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 for which deferred tax assets have been recognised.



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

As at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, a
subsidiary of the Company did not recognise the deferred tax assets in respect of the impairment losses on property, plant and equipment amounting to RMB432,579 thousands and provision for inventories amounting to RMB46,190 thousands. As at
31 December 2015, certain subsidiaries of the Company did not recognize the deferred tax assets in respect of unused tax losses carried forward for PRC income tax purpose amounting to RMB411,284 thousands (2014: RMB353,952 thousands) because it
was not probable that the related tax benefit would be realized

Tax losses carried forward that are not recognised as deferred tax assets
will expire in the following years:

|(b) | Diluted
|--- | -------

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The Company has dilutive potential ordinary
shares from share options. A calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market share price of the Companys A shares for year ended 31 December 2015) based
on the monetary value of the outstanding share options. The number of ordinary shares in issue is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. The calculation of the diluted
earnings/(loss) per share for 2013,2014 and 2015 was shown as:

|25 | Share-based payments
|-- | --------------------

Pursuant to the resolution of the fifth meeting of the eighth
session of the Board of Directors of the Company on 6 January 2015, the proposal regarding the list of participants and the number of share options under the share option incentive scheme was approved.

According to the Companys share option incentive scheme, the grant date of share options was 6 January 2015, and there were a total
of 38,760 thousand share options granted to 214 participants (0.359% of the total ordinary share capital issued). Each share option has a right to purchase an ordinary A share listed in PRC on vesting date at an exercise price of RMB4.20 under
vesting conditions. The options are exercisable starting two years from the grant date, subject to the following vesting conditions:



| |  |  | Return on Equity of the Group should be no less than 9% for 2015, 9.5% for 2016 and 10% for 2017 in respect to the three vesting periods;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | achieving the target compound annual growth rate of 5% in net profit for each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, based on the net profit of 2013;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | proportion of the main business revenue in the total revenue should be no less than 99%;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | each of the above three conditions should be no lower than the 75% level of peer companies; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | achieving the target budget set by the Sinopec Corp..
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

The fair value of the employee services
received in exchange for the grant of this equity-settled, share-based compensation plan is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each tranche. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the
fair value of the options granted excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction
costs are credited to share capital and share premium. As at 31 December 2015, no share option had been exercised yet.

As at
31 December 2015, the outstanding share options which will expire in twelve months after the vesting dates and their exercise prices are as follows:



|               |  |                                 |      |  |                   |  |            |

The total fair value of share options at the grant date was RMB65,412 thousands, which has been valued by an
external valuation expert using Black-Scholes valuation model.

The significant inputs into the model were as follows:



|                        |  |               |            |

|Dividend yield          |  |               | 1.00       | %

Share option expenses of RMB22,702 thousands have been recognised in the consolidated income statement for the
year ended 31 December 2015 (the year ended 31 December 2014: Nil, the year ended 31 December 2013: Nil).

|(f) | Transactions with other state-owned entities in the PRC
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------

The Group is a state-controlled
enterprise and operates in an economic regime currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly controlled by the PRC government (collectively referred to as state-controlled entities) through its government authorities, agencies,
affiliations and other organisations.

Apart from transactions with related parties, the Group has transactions with other state-controlled
entities which include, but are not limited to, the following:



| |  |  | sales and purchases of goods and ancillary materials;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rendering and receiving services;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | lease of assets, purchase of property, plant and equipment;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | placing deposits and obtaining finance; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | use of public utilities
| | - |  | -----------------------

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.

|33 | Contingent liabilities
|-- | ----------------------

In June 2007, the State Administrative of Taxation issued a tax circular (Circular No.664) to the local tax authorities
requesting the relevant local tax authorities to rectify the applicable enterprise income tax (EIT) for nine listed companies, which included the Company. After the notice was issued, the Company was required by the relevant tax
authority to settle the EIT for 2007 at a rate of 33 percent. To date, the Company has not been requested by the tax authorities 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 2015. As at 31 December 2015, no provision has been made in the financial report for this uncertainty because management believes it is not probable that the Group will be required to pay additional EIT for tax years
prior to 2007 (31 December 2014: nil).



|34 | Subsequent event
|-- | ----------------

A dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2015 of RMB0.1 per share, amounting to a total dividend of
RMB1,080,000 thousands, was proposed by the Board of Directors on 16 March 2016.
