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 2012 and 2013, respectively as if these shares were in issue since January 1, 2012. Earnings per ADS are calculated on the basis that one ADS is equivalent to 100 H Shares.

Exchange Rates

The Chinese government controls its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into foreign
exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade. See Item10. Additional Information  D. Exchange Controls.

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 95% is typically imported.
In 2016, crude oil costs accounted for RMB22.95billion, or 39.07% 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 95% 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 2014, 2015 and
2016 approximately 48.02%, 40.81% and 36.40% 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 Item4. 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 2017 of approximately
RMB1,500 million (U.S.$216.04 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, 2017, we had an aggregate outstanding indebtedness of approximately RMB604.00 million
(U.S.$86.99 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, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

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.

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

As of March 31, 2017, 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 Item7. 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.

##### Table of Contents

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;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



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



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



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



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

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

Our development plans may require regulatory approval.

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

While in general we attempt to obtain governmental approval as far in advance as practicable, we 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
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.

Change of currency policy and 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. During 2016, the RMB depreciated by over 6% 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
United Moreover, there are significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those of U.S. issuers listed on the NYSE, as further described under Item 16 G. Corporate Governance. Kingdom and other developed countries
or regions. You may not enjoy shareholders protections under Chinese law that you would be entitled to in other jurisdictions.

Our Articles of Association require you to submit your disputes with us and other persons 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 prior to January 16, 2016, had engaged 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, prior to January 16, 2016,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.

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.

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 interim cash dividend of RMB0.50 (tax included) for

Business Strategy

In 2017, 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 2017. 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 2017, 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 2016, the volume of our production amounted to 12,830,600 tons, representing a decrease of 7.47% over the previous year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the maintenance of our major refining
plants in 2016, which resulted in a decrease in our total processing capacity.

The following table shows a comparison of the
production volume and sales volume in 2015 and 2016 by our major products.

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.

##### Table of Contents

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 2016, 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 top ten main types of oil purchased in the whole year of 2016
accounted for 97.7% of the total purchase of crude oil, and as a result of the increased concentration, the overall cost of crude oil we purchased reduced.

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 tonsof diesel through hydrogenation, we further optimized the structure of our finished oil products, achieving a diesel to gasoline ratio of 1.35:1 for 2016. 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 2016, crude oil accounted
for approximately 41.60% 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 2016, 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 has purchased and will do so on our behalf
11.6 million tons of imported crude oil in 2017. 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 2017. We believe that the mix of crude oil feedstock
currently available is satisfactory for our 2017 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 2017 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 2017 production capacity and goals.

In 2016, our crude oil was sourced as follows:



|                            |  |  |        |  
|--------------------------- |  |  | ------ | -
|Domestic offshore crude oil |  |  | 0.82   | %
|Imported crude oil          |  |  | 99.18  | %
|                            |  |  |        |  
|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 Item4.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 crude oil shall apply the market adjusted rate and the 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 2016 was RMB2,673.92 (U.S.$385.12) per ton and RMB2,206.05 (U.S.$317.74) per ton, respectively. In 2016, we processed 14.3 million tons of imported crude oil and 0.11 million
tons of domestic offshore crude oil (including 2.59 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, 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 NDRC.

On January 13, 2016, NDRC issued the Circular on Further Improving the Pricing Mechanism of
Refined Oil (Fa Gai Jia Ge [2016] No. 64) to adjust the existing refined oil pricing mechanism, which include, among other things, (i) setting a price floor of U.S.$40 for the downward adjustment of the crude refined oil. When the
international crude oil price drops to U.S.$40 per barrel or below, i.e., the adjustment price floor, the refined oil price in China shall no longer be adjusted downwards; and (ii) creating a reserve for risks associated with the adjustment and
control of oil prices. When the international crude oil price drops to U.S.$40 per barrel or below, all unadjusted amount shall be allocated to the reserve abovementioned for use for the purpose of energy saving or reduction of emission, improving
the oil quality and securing a safe supply of oil.

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 2016, 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 2016, the average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price on the U.S. mercantile exchanges was U.S.$43.47/barrel, representing a decrease of 10.85% from U.S.$
48.76/barrel in 2015. In 2016, the average price of Brent crude oil on the London Intercontinental Exchange was U.S.$45.13/barrel, representing a decrease of 15.8% from U.S.$ 53.60/barrel in 2015; and in 2016, the average price of crude oil in Dubai
was U.S.$41.43/barrel, representing a decrease of 18.62% from U.S.$ 50.91/barrel in 2015.

For the year ended
December 31, 2016 we processed a total of 14.3 million tons of crude oil (including 2.6 million tons of crude oil processed on a sub-contract basis), representing a decrease of 0.49 million
tons, or 3.32%, over the previous year. Of the crude oil we processed in 2016, domestic offshore oil accounted for 0.11 million tons and imported crude oil accounted for 14.19 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 2016. The
average unit cost of crude oil processed (by us) in 2016 was RMB1,979.58/ton (RMB2,533.46 /ton in 2015), representing a decrease of 21.86% over the previous year. Our total cost of crude oil processed reached RMB23.19 billion in 2016,
representing a decrease of 28.41% as compared to RMB32.39 billion in 2015, which represented 41.60% 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 2017 will be approximately 2.05 million tons. In 2016, we
consumed approximately 2.01 million tons of coal, a decrease from 2015 of 0.04 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 2016, the total cost of these materials accounted for approximately 16.29% 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
2016 that were subject to planned distribution by Sinopec Group, sales by agents and sales based on our own discretion accounted for 55.35%, 40.56% and 4.08%, 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 2016. In general we managed to maintain a stable correlation between production and sales in 2016.

Product breakdown

Synthetic Fibers In 2016, 74.6% 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 30% of our
sales of synthetic fibers in 2016.

Resins and Plastics  In 2016, approximately 55.4% of our resins and plastics
sales were to provincial and municipal government trading companies and approximately 44.6% were sold to industrial users. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our sales of resins and plastics in 2016.

Intermediate Petrochemicals We sell a variety of intermediate petrochemical products, among which the sale volume of
petroleum benzene and paraxylene was relatively high in 2016. Secco is the principal outside consumer of our petroleum benzene. In 2016, we sold 0.11 million tons of petroleum benzene to Secco, representing 32% of our total 2016 production of
such product.

Jiaxing Petrochemical Company Limited and Oriental Petrochemical (Shanghai) Corporation
(Oriental) are the principal outside consumers of our paraxylene. In 2016, we sold 0.33 million tons and 0.13 million tons of paraxylene, representing 71.6% and 28.4% of our total 2016 production of such product, to Jiaxing
Petrochemical Company Limited and Oriental respectively, at prices mutually agreed upon by the relevant parties.

Petroleum
Products In 2016, our primary gasoline and diesel customer was Sinopec Huadong Sales Company Limited.

Trading
of Petrochemical Products In 2016, 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 2014, 2015 and 2016, approximately 48.02%, 40.81% and 53.49% 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 99.33% of our products in volume were sold in 2016. 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 2016, 76.96% 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 2016, we had an approximate 0.55% share of total domestic polyester and acrylic consumption while imports had an approximate 1.00% share.

Petroleum Products

In 2016, we had an approximate 2.48% share of total domestic petroleum products market while imports had an approximate 5.70% 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 2016, we sold approximately 90.98% 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 2016, Secco achieved a sales revenue of
RMB23.784 billion (U.S.$3.425 billion), representing a slight increase of 0.4% from its sales revenue of RMB23.682 billion (U.S.$ 3.656 billion) in 2015. Secco produced 1,267,600 tons of ethylene in 2016, representing an increase of 3,500
tons over the previous year. Secco had a net profit of RMB3.779 billion (U.S.$544.3 million) in 2016 , representing an increase of RMB1.584 billion (U.S.$228.14 million), or 72.2% over the previous year. The net profit was primarily
because the price of raw materials, naphtha, kept at a low level, while the price of the products remained good, and Seccos production facilities were operated safely and stably in 2016.

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 2016, we were assessed a total of RMB63.16 million (U.S.$9.10 million) in fees for discharges of waste substances.

On October 12, 2015, in the field inspection on wastewater discharge by the general inspection team of Shanghai Environmental
Protection Monitoring, law enforcement found that the PH value of the No.5 plump vent was above the discharge limit set forth in the Wastewater Discharge Standards (DB31/199-2009). The Company was imposed a
fine of RMB60,000 by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau on March 11, 2016.

On November 17, 2015, in the field
inspection on air pollutant emission from start up boilers of the olefin department by the general inspection team of Shanghai Environmental Protection Monitoring, law enforcement found that the concentration of nitrogen oxides emissions from
ethylene No.2 Boiler A and Boiler B was above the emission limit set forth in the Thermal Power Plant Air Pollutants Emission Standards (GB13223-2011). The Company was imposed a fine of RMB80,000 by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau on
February 16, 2016.

On November 25, 2015, in the field inspection on air pollutant emission by the general
inspection team of Shanghai Environmental Protection Monitoring, law enforcement found that the concentration of non-methane hydrocarbon from No.2 sulfur equipment vent was above the emission limit set forth
in the Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants (GB16297-1996). The Company was imposed a fine of RMB50,000 by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau on March 11, 2016.

On November 26, 2015, in the field inspection on air pollutant emission by the general inspection team of Shanghai Environmental
Protection Monitoring, law enforcement found that the concentration of particles from the carbonization vent of acrylic fiber was above the emission limit set forth in the Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants(GB16297-1996). The Company was
imposed a fine of RMB60,000 by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau on March 11, 2016.

During the period between
April 1, 2016 and April 15, 2016, the average nitrogen oxides emissions from ethylene No. 2 Boiler A and Boiler B 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 RMB400,000 by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau on July 26, 2016.

We believe our
environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for the existing national and local environmental protection regulations. In 2016, 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 2016, the Companys overall level of energy consumption per RMB10,000 of product
value was 0.777 ton of standard coal, decreased by 3.72% from the previous year. As compared with 2015, the total volume of chemical oxygen demand (COD) discharged was decreased 6.18%, while that of ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds declined by 6.17%, 9.74%, 7.27% and 9.08%, 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 at
100%. The average heat efficiency of heaters decreased 0.05% to 92.40% due to the load reduction.

Insurance

We currently participate in a package of insurance coverage plan through Sinopec Group as its controlled subsidiary,
which, as of December 31, 2016, was approximately RMB41.288 billion (U.S.$5.947 billion) on our property and facilities and approximately RMB1.729 billion (U.S.$0.249 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 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.

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

In 2016, 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 5.89% 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 0.0008% of Sinopec Groups
total unaudited sales revenue in 2016. Sinopec Corp. engaged in a small amount of trading activities with an Iranian company with net profit of approximately U.S.$264 million in 2016.

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

The
acrylic fiber units were built domestically, based on a design of equipment which had been imported into China in the 1960s and that we substantially improved. In 1996, we acquired two additional acrylic fiber units which use technology from the
Kawasaki Corporation of Japan. We produce PP in three identical units using technology from Himont Corporation of 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 2016, 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 2016. Among the 83 major indicators that
measure technical and economic capacity, 41 exceeded those of the previous year while 17 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 2016, approximately 87.7% 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 2016, products representing 9.77% 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
2016, products representing 1.50% 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 2016, products representing 0.43% 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 2016, through desulfurization reconstruction of No. 6 furnace of our thermoelectricity department, desulfurization and
denitrification of start-up boilers flue gas in olefin plant 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 RMB1.5 billion in 2017. This amount will be funded by our own capital and by bank loans.

N/A
 not applicable.

In 2014, 2015 and 2016, we invested RMB1.089 billion, RMB0.723 billion and
RMB0.824 billion, respectively, in capital expansion projects.

Refining Capacity Expansion

We launched 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 transformed 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 has been implemented in two phases, the first phase finished 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.

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. In 2016, we completed the basic design formulation and approval process. The construction of this project is
scheduled to be commenced in 2017 and completed in 2019.

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 transformation project for ultra clean discharge work in cogeneration unit, transformation of No. 2 olefin cracking
burner, transformation project for up-to-standard discharge of tail gas for sulfur recovery unit of our refining department, transformation project for the obturation of
burning storage areas of our thermoelectricity department. There projects are in design stage and anticipated to finish in 2017.

|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 2016. 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, 2014, 2015 and 2016, we recognized impairment charges on property, plant
and equipment and other long-term assets of RMB10.2 million, RMB50 million and RMB254.2 million, respectively.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account the estimated residual 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, 2014, 2015 and
2016.

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 RMB nil, RMB nil and RMB0.1 million, during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 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 RMB214 million, RMB45 million and RMB76 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. 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 2017 the bulk of
our inventories as of December 31, 2016 after deducting for diminution in values.

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, 2016, the Company would need to generate future taxable income of at least
RMB412 million.

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 95% 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 2014, 2015 and 2016, approximately 48.02%, 43.33% and 32.52% 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 Item4. 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.

Results of Operations

In general, the recovery of the world economy was slower than expected in 2016. The U.S. economy delivered a strong performance in 2016,
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 6.7% in 2016. 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 2016 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 2016, 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 2016, our net sales amounted to RMB65.94 billion, decreased by 1.64% compared with 2015. 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 12,830,600 tons in 2016, representing a decrease of 7.47% over
the previous year. Our production/sale ratio was 100.27%, and the trade receivables recovery rate was 100%. Our total amount of export was RMB11.90 billion, increased by 190.39% compared with 2015.

Year ended December 31, 2016 compared with year ended December 31, 2015

Net sales

Primarily due to the decrease in crude oil price, the market prices of petrochemical products dropped in 2016. The excessive production capacity of petrochemical products and the weak demand in domestic
and international markets led to intensive market competition. In 2016, our net sales amounted to RMB65,936.5 million, representing a decrease of 1.64%, as compared to RMB67,037.2 million in 2015. 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. The processing volume of crude oil decreased slightly in 2016 considering the domestic
demands, which led to a decrease in the sales volume of our petroleum products. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the weighted average prices (excluding tax) of our synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemical products,
and petroleum products decreased by 12.41%, 3.83%, 0.51% and 10.81% over the previous year, respectively.

fibers

In 2016, the net sales for synthetic fibers amounted to RMB1,855.5 million, representing a decrease of 20.30%
as compared to RMB2,328.2 million in 2015. 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 12.41%. While the weighted average sales price of acrylic fiber, the principal synthetic fiber product
of our Company, decreased by 13.51%, the weighted average sales price of polyester fiber decreased by 5.99% 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 79.22% and 14.90% of the total sales of synthetic fibers, respectively. Sales volume of synthetic fibers
decreased by 9.02% in 2016 compared to that of the previous year.

The net sales of synthetic fiber products accounted for
2.8% of the total net sales in 2016, representing a decrease of 0.7% as compared to the previous year.

plastics

The net sales of resins and plastics amounted to RMB9,797.6 million in 2016, representing a decrease of
1.95% as compared to RMB9,992.2 million in 2015. 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 3.83%. Among resins and plastics products, the weighted average sales price of polyethylene for 2016 decreased by 3.23%; the weighted average sales price of polypropylene for 2016 decreased by 4.22%; and the weighted average sales price of
polyester pellet for 2016 decreased by 0.58%. 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 45.11%, 33.07% and 16.56% of the total sales of resins and plastics, respectively. The sales volume of resins and plastics slightly increased by 1.95% in 2016 as compared to the previous year.

weighted average sales price of petroleum products decreased in 2016 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 decrease in sales volume was mainly
due to the reduced processing volume of crude oil after taking into account of the domestic demands.

The net sales of
petroleum products accounted for 36.4% of the total net sales in 2016, representing a decrease of 9.5% as compared to the previous year.

(v) Trading of petrochemical products

The net sales of the trading of
petroleum products amounted to RMB20,585.4 million in 2016, representing an increase of 50.06% as compared to RMB13,718.2 million in 2015. This increase was mainly attributable to the significant growth in sales of Shanghai Jinmao
International Trading Company Limited, one of our subsidiaries, during the year.

The net sales of trading of petrochemical
products accounted for 31.2% of the total net sales in 2016, representing an increase of 10.7% as compared to the previous year.

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

Our selling and administrative expenses amounted to RMB546.1 million in 2016, representing a decrease of 9.12% as compared to RMB600.9 million in 2015, mainly due to a decrease in sales compared
with the previous year, which resulted in a decline in warehousing and sales agency fees.



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

Our other operating income amounted to RMB197.3 million in 2016, representing a decrease of 16.01% as compared to RMB234.9 million in 2015. The decrease in other operating income was mainly
attributable to the decrease of leasing income due to termination of some property leasing and change into the companys own usage. Meanwhile, the pipeline transportation fees dropped due to the decrease in sales volume.



| |  | Other (losses)/gains - net
|- |  | --------------------------

Our other losses  net amounted to RMB53.9 million in 2016, representing a decrease of RMB82.5 million as compared to other gains  net of RMB28.6 million in 2015. This was mainly
due to the increase of net loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment of RMB32.6 million and the decrease of gain on forward foreign exchange contracts of RMB37.2 million, as we did not enter into any forward foreign exchange
contracts in 2016.

Profits/loss from operations

Our profit from operations amounted to RMB6,777.9 million in 2016, representing an increase of RMB2,869.0 million as compared to
RMB3,908.9 million in 2015. In 2016, costs for all segments dropped generally 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 the previous year.

(i) Synthetic fibers

Loss from operations of synthetic fibers amounted to
RMB608.9 million in 2016, representing an increase of RMB252.5 million in loss as compared to loss of RMB356.4 million in 2015. The increase was mainly attributable to the continuous increase in the price of acrylonitrile which is the
raw material for acrylic fiber products due to capacity fluctuation, which resulted in a surge in costs. The loss was further intensified by the reduction of the profit margin of synthetic fibers products under the sluggish downstream demand.

(ii) Resins and plastics

Profit from operations of resins and plastics amounted to RMB1,637.6 million in 2016, representing an increase of RMB419.0 million as compared to RMB1,218.6 million in 2015. The increase in
profit was primarily due to a 6.99% decrease in operating expenses of resins and plastics to RMB8,160.3 million in 2016 from RMB8,773.6 million in 2015 while the market demand and the price of products, in particular polyethylene are
relatively stable. 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 RMB1,810.0 million in 2016, representing an increase of RMB853.2 million as compared to profit of RMB956.8 million in 2015.
The significant increase in profit was primarily attributable to a decrease of RMB1,357.6 million in cost of sales of intermediate petrochemicals in 2016, while the net sales for the same period only decreased by RMB504.4 million, which
leads to a profit growth as compared to the previous year.

(iv) Petroleum products

Profit from operations of petroleum products amounted to RMB3,813.0 million, representing an increase of RMB1,950.7 million as
compared to RMB1,862.3 million in 2015. The significant increase in profit was primarily attributable to a decrease of RMB8,750.1 million in cost of sales of petroleum products in 2016 , while the net sales for the same period only
decreased by RMB6,799.4 million, which leads to a profit growth as compared to the previous year.

RMB6,831.2 million, which leads to a profit growth as compared to the previous year.

(vi) Others

Profit from operations of others amounted to RMB75.0 million in 2016, representing a decrease of 64.69% as compared to
RMB212.4 million in 2015. The decrease in profit was mainly attributable to an increase of RMB140.7 million in cost of sales and expenses of other products, while the net sales of other products increased by RMB3.2 million, which
leads to a profit decrease as compared to the previous year. The increase in cost of sales and expenses of other products was primarily due to the increase in the net loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment and the decrease in gains on
forward foreign exchange contracts.

Net financing income

Our net financing income was RMB83.7 million in 2016, compared with a net financing expenses of RMB243.8 million in 2015. The
change was mainly due to the repayment of long term borrowings and certain short term borrowings by us in 2016, which lowered the interest expense from RMB211.9 million in 2015 to RMB53.6 million in 2016. Furthermore, our interest income
increased by RMB84.2 million as a result of an increase in bank deposits.

Share of profit of associates and
jointly controlled entities

Our share of profit of associates and jointly controlled entities amounted to
RMB916.8 million in 2016, representing an increase of 60.25% as compared to RMB572.1 million in 2015. The increase was mainly attributable to a significant increase in our share of profit in Secco from RMB437.0 million in 2015 to
RMB742.7 million in 2016.

Earnings before income tax

Our income tax expenses amounted to RMB1,796.8 million in 2016, representing an increase of RMB870.0 million, or 93.9%, as
compared to RMB926.8 million in 2015. The change was primarily attributable to profit increase.

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 2016 was 25% (2015:25%). Our effective income tax rate was 23.10% in 2016, as compared to 21.87% in 2015. The relatively high
effective income tax rate in 2016 was mainly due to the ratio of the share profit of investments accounted for using the equity method over profit before taxation is 11.61% in 2016, representing a decrease of 1.65% compared with that of 13.26% in
2015.

Net income/loss

Our net income was RMB5,918.5million in 2016, representing an increase of RMB2,671.1 million, or 80.7%, as compared to RMB3,310.4 million in 2015.

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%,

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

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 the previous 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.

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

(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

Our share of profit of associates and jointly controlled entities amounted to
RMB572.1 million in 2015, representing an increase of 891.5% as compared to RMB57.7 million in 2014. The increase was mainly attributable to a significant increase in our share of profit in Secco from share of loss of RMB68.0 million
in 2014 to share of profit of RMB437 million in 2015.

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.

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.

Net cash generated from/used in operating activities

The net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB7,181.8 million in 2016, representing an increase in cash inflows of
RMB2,249.0 million as compared to the net cash inflows of RMB4,932.8 million in 2015, due to the following reasons: (1) we recorded profit before income tax of RMB7,778.3 million in 2016, representing an increase of
RMB3,541.1 million as compared to RMB4,237.2 million in 2015; (2) we paid income tax amounted to RMB1,268.1 million in 2016, representing an increase of RMB1,235.0 million as compared to RMB33.1 million in 2015.

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 increase 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
decrease 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).

Net cash used in investing activities

Our net cash used in
investing activities decreased from RMB439.0million in 2015 to RMB189.9 million in 2016. This was primarily because the dividends we received from associates and jointly controlled entities increased from RMB216.5 million in 2015 to
RMB557.3 million in 2016.

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 in 2015, and our dividends received from joint
ventures and associates increased from RMB98.8 million in 2014 to RMB216.5 million in 2015.

Net cash used in
financing activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was RMB2,637.2 million in 2016, while our net cash
used in financing activities was RMB3,695.7 million in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in repayments of borrowings to third parties of RMB23,690.33 million, the effect of which was partially offset by the decrease in
proceeds from borrowings from third parties of RMB7,347.5 million from 2015 to 2016 as we reduced crude oil processing volume in 2016 due to weak customer demand for our petroleum products.

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.

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 2016. Our total borrowings at the end of 2016 amounted to RMB546.4 million, representing a decrease of RMB1,523.6 million as compared to
RMB2,070 million at the end of the previous year. 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, 2015 and 2016 were as follows.

|(1) | As of December 31, 2016, 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, 2016, the current assets
exceeded current liabilities by RMB5,933.51million. 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, 2016, we had standby credit facilities of RMB23,664.19 million, within which the maturity dates of unused facility
amounting to RMB21,959.22million will be after 31 December 2017. 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, 2017. 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.

##### Table of Contents

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, 2016, our liability-to-asset ratio
was 26.34%, while as of December 31, 2015, our liability-to-asset ratio was 27.77%. The ratio is calculated using this formula: total liabilities divided by total
assets.

Capital expenditure

In 2016, our capital expenditure amounted to RMB824.0 million, representing an increase of 3.00% as compared to RMB800.0 million in capital expenditure in 2015. Major projects include the
following:

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 2014, 2015 and 2016 were RMB43.6 million, RMB87.6 million and RMB102.1 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 2017, 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 2017.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.

E. Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, we had no contingent liabilities in respect of guarantees issued to banks in favor of our associated
companies and other unlisted investments (December 31, 2015: nil). Other than our capital commitments disclosed in Note 32 in our consolidated financial statements included in Item18. Financial Statements, we do not have
any other off-balance sheet arrangements.

F. Contractual Obligations and
Commercial Commitments

The following table sets forth our obligations to make future payments under contracts effective as

C. Board Practices.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors consists of eleven 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 Choi Tingki,
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 Committee2.50

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 Choi Tingki, 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. As of December 31, 2016, the members
of the remuneration committee are Zhang Yimin, Ye Guohua and Du Weifeng. Mr. Ye Guohua resigned as Executive Director, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on 26 January 2017. Following his resignation, Mr. Ye Guohua ceased to
be a member of the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee on the same day. The Company is looking for a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy. 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

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, 2016, 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 2016, we incurred RMB2,469.5 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 17,706 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.

As of December 31, 2016, none of our directors, supervisors and executive officers beneficially owns any of our shares.

On January 6, 2015, our board of directors approved the proposal of the initial grant of the share option
incentive scheme. A total of 2,540,000 share options were granted to Mr. Wang Zhiqing, Mr. Gao Jinping, Mr. Ye Guohua, Mr. Guo Xiaojun, Mr. Jin Qiang and Mr. Jin Wenmin. Mr. Tang Weizhong resigned from his position

Employees  E. Share Ownership  Share Option Incentive Schemefor more information.

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

management. The total number of underlying stock accounted for 0.359% of the Companys total share capital when granted. According to the principle on the determination of exercise price, the exercise price of the initial grant was RMB4.20 per
share (in the event of dividends payment, capitalization of capital reserves, bonus issue, subdivision or reduction of shares or allotment of shares during the validity period, the exercise price shall be adjusted according to the Share Option
Incentive Scheme). On June 15, 2016, the 2015 annual profit distribution plan was considered and passed at the 2015 annual general meeting, whereby cash dividend of RMB1.00 was paid for each 10 shares, and the exercise price was adjusted to
RMB4.10 per share accordingly. The following table summarizes the outstanding options that the Company granted to our directors, executive officers and other employees:

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

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.

HKSE connected transactions rules

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

C. Interests of Experts and Counsel.

##### Table of Contents

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 91310000132212291W.

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, release of advertisements on self-owned media and quality technology services (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.

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.

##### Table of Contents

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

Enforceability of Shareholders Rights

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

In most states of the United States, shareholders may sue a corporation derivatively. A derivative suit involves the
commencement by a shareholder of a corporate cause of action against persons who have allegedly wronged the corporation, where the corporation itself has failed to enforce the claims directly. This would include suits against corporate officers,
directors, or 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
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

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

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

Restrictions on Transferability
and the Share Register

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

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;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



71

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | 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.

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
Item10. 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.



72



---

##### Table of Contents

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;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



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



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



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



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

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



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



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



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

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

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

##### Table of Contents

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

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

The following decisions must be adopted by special resolution:



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



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



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



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



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



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



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

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

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

Board of Directors

Our Articles of Association authorize up to 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.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



74

##### Table of Contents

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



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



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



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

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

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



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



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



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



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



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



| |  |  | anyone identified by the CSRC as unsuitable for serving as an Independent Director.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Our Board will be required to
meet at least four times each year. Directors who miss two consecutive Board meetings without appointing an alternate director to attend on their behalf will be proposed for removal at the next shareholders meeting, provided that Independent
Directors may miss three consecutive meetings 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.

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



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



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



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



| |  |  | any repurchase of our shares;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | significant acquisitions or disposals;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | any amendment to our Articles of Association.

Directors and Supervisory Committee. In addition, shareholders holding one percent or more of our shares have the right to nominate candidates for Independent Director or Independent Supervisor and shareholders holding 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.

from shareholders and report circumstances directly to shareholders, Chinese securities regulatory authorities or other government departments. Two or more may request that the Board convene an extraordinary meeting of shareholders.

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

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



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

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

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

Supervisory Committee

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

appointed by the shareholders in a general meeting, provided that our directors, general manager and senior officers are not eligible to serve as supervisors. The Supervisory Committee must meet at least four times a year. Decisions of the
Supervisory Committee can be passed by the consents of over two thirds of all the supervisors. We will pay all reasonable expenses incurred by the Supervisory Committee in appointing professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants or auditors.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of our liquidation, payment of 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.

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

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 unless otherwise provided in law and administrative regulations, 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 6.83% against the U.S. dollar in the year 2016.

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.

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.



79

##### 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.



81



---

##### Table of Contents

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.

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.

##### Table of Contents

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.

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.

##### Table of Contents

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.

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 Item12D.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, 2016. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016 based on these criteria.

|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

| |  | 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

|Corporate Governance Guidelines                      |  | Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines involving director qualification standards, director
responsibilities, director compensation, director access to management and, as necessary and appropriate, independent advisors, director orientation and continuing education and management succession. The board should conduct a self-evaluation at
least annually to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively.  A listed company must make its corporate governance guidelines available on or through its website.                                                              |  | The China Securities Regulatory Commission (the CSRC) has issued the Corporate Governance Rules, prescribing detailed
guidelines on directors of the listed companies, including director selection, the structure of the board of directors and director performance evaluation.

|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

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 ,and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 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, 2016, 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 2016



|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 were listed 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 RMB 0.5 (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 converted from share premium of RMB 2,420,841 thousands and 1.64 shares were converted from surplus reserves
of RMB 1,179,159 thousands. The resolution were approved by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, A share class shareholders meeting and H share class shareholders meeting on 22 Oct 2013, respectively. As at 31 December 2015 and
2016, total shares of the Company were 10,800,000 thousands.

The Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) are principally
engaged in processing crude oil into synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products.

These
consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Renminbi Yuan (RMB), unless otherwise stated. These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 April 2017.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the
year ended 31 December 2016



|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 all applicable 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, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, which are carried at fair value.

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 2016.

Equity method in separate
financial statements-amendment to IAS 27

Amendment to IAS 27, Equity method in separate financial statements , allows
entities to use equity method to measure investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Previously, IAS 27 allows entities to measure their investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and
associates either at cost or as a financial asset in their separate financial statements. The amendment introduces the equity method as a third option. The election can be made independently for each category of investment (subsidiaries, joint
ventures and associates). Entities wishing to change to the equity method must do so retrospectively. The amendment is effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

The Group has changed cost method to equity method to measure investments in joint ventures and associates in the separate financial statements
from 1 January 2016 and accordingly made retrospective adjustments. Please refer to Note 34 for the details of the retrospective adjustments.

Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations - amendments to IFRS 11

Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization  amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38

Annual improvements to IFRSs 2012  2014 cycle, and

Disclosure initiative - amendment to IAS 1.

Except for the Amendment to IAS 27, the adoption of all other amendments did not have material impact on the current or any prior period and is
not likely to affect future periods. There are no other amended standards or interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2016 that could be expected to have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements of the Group.

|2.1 | Basis of preparation (continued)
|--- | --------------------------------



|2.1.1 | Changes in accounting policy and disclosures (continued)
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------





|(b) | 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 2016 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those applicable to the Group are listed below.

IFRS 9, Financial instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial
liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the whole of IAS 39. IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses  the expected credit losses (ECL) model, which constitutes a change
from the incurred loss model in IAS 39. IFRS 9 applies to all hedging relationships, with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance better aligns hedge accounting with the risk management activities of an
entity and provides relief from the more rule-based approach of IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual 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, establishes a comprehensive framework for determining
when to recognize revenue and how much revenue to recognise through a 5-step approach. IFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalisation of contract cost and licence arrangements. It also includes a
cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entitys contracts with customers. The core principle is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. IFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards: IAS 18
Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition: IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18
Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC-31 RevenueBarter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2018.

Management is currently assessing the effects of applying the new standard on the Groups financial statements.
At this stage, the Group is not able to estimate the impact of the new rules on the consolidated financial statements. The Group will make more detailed assessments of the impact over the next twelve months. IFRS 15 is mandatory for financial years
commencing on or after 1 January 2018. At this stage, the group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

IFRS
16, Leases, provides updated guidance on the definition of leases, and the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use
of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. IFRS 16 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. The lessors accounting stays almost the same as under IAS
17 Leases. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Earlier application is permitted if IFRS 15 is also applied.

The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the Groups operating leases when the Group is as the leasee in those leases. As at
the reporting date, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments, as disclosed in Note 32. Most of the commitments are covered by the exception for short-term and low value leases under new IFRS
16 standard. The Group is still evaluating the effects of the new standard on the other lease commitments with the lease term greater than one year. IFRS 16 is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. At this stage,
the group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

|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 transferred asset. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have
been adjusted to conform with the Groups accounting policies.

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



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



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





|(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.



|(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. It means the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified by applicable IFRSs.



|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.

Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.



|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.

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



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



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.

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, including any other unsecured receivables, 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 Board of Directors
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. 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 (losses)/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 (loss)/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 lives of
the Groups investment properties are 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. These 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, as follows:



|                |  |  |             | 
|--------------- |  |  | ----------- | 
|Land use rights |  |  | 30-50 years | 
|Patents         |  |  | 10-28 years | 
|Catalyst        |  |  | 2-5 years   | 



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



|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.



|2.12.2 | 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 (losses)/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.

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



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



|2.12.2 | Recognition and measurement (continued)
|------ | ---------------------------------------



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.

|2.14 | Impairment of financial assets (continued)
|---- | ------------------------------------------



|(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 reclassified 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 reclassified 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 are not designated as hedges.

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair
value on the date 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 plus transaction costs and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. See Note 2.12.2 for further information about the Groups accounting for receivables and Note 2.14 for a description of the Groups impairment
policies.



|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 plus transaction costs 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.

Borrowing costs include interest expense, finance charges in
respect of exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. The exchange gains and losses that are an adjustment to interest costs include the interest rate
differential between borrowing costs that would be incurred if the entity had borrowed funds in its functional currency, and the borrowing costs actually incurred on foreign currency borrowings.

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



|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, associates and joint ventures 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:



| |  |  | 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.

|2.26 | Share-based payment (continued)
|---- | -------------------------------



|(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.

|2.28 | Revenue recognition (continued)
|---- | -------------------------------



|(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

|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, cash flow interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Groups overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of
financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Groups financial performance.



|(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 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. During the year ended 31 December 2016, the Group did not enter into any forward foreign exchange contracts (2015: the Group entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate foreign exchange risk arising from
borrowings denominated in EUR).

As at 31 December 2016, 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 RMB 23,139 thousands increased/decreased as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of foreign currencies denominated trade payables
(31 December 2015: RMB 3,605 thousands.2014: RMB 107,395 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 2016, the Groups short-term interest bearing borrowings denominated with floating rates amounted to
RMB 46,432 thousands (31 December 2015: RMB 2,000,000 thousands, representing 97% of total borrowing balance), which represented 7% 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 year ended 31 December 2016 and 2015, the Group did not enter into any
interest rate swap agreements.

As at 31 December 2016, 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 RMB 174 thousands (31 December 2015: RMB 7,500 thousands), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense
on floating rate borrowings.

|3 | Financial risk management (continued)
|- | -------------------------------------



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



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



|(iii) | 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 didnt 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.



|(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 receivables, 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 2016, the Group had standby credit facilities with several PRC
financial institutions which provided the Group to borrow up to RMB 23,664,190 thousands, within which the maturity dates of unused facility amounted to RMB 21,959,224 thousands will be after 31 December 2017 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 2016, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of RMB 5,440,623 thousands (31 December 2015: RMB 1,077,430 thousands) (Note 22) and
trade receivables of RMB 414,944 thousands (31 December 2015: RMB 488,560 thousands) (Note 21), that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. .

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.

|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.

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

The table below analyses the Groups financial instruments
carried at fair value as at 31 December 2016 by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorised into three levels within a 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 bills receivable, trade receivables and other
receivables, trade and other payables (except for the staff salaries and welfare payables and taxes payables) and borrowings. As at 31 December 2016, these financial assets are expected to be collected in one year or less and these financial
liabilities are due within one year or less. As a result, the carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

According to the offsetting master arrangements entered into in October 2014 between the Company and its
related party, Shanghai Secco Petrochemical Company Limited (Shanghai Secco) and in December 2016 between the Company and its related party, BOC-SPC Gases Company Limited (BOC), the
relevant financial assets and liabilities of each operating agreement between the Company and Shanghai Secco and those between the Company and BOC, are settled on a net basis periodically.



|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 non-financial assets
|--- | ------------------------------------

In determining
the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the non-financial assets 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) | Net realisable value of inventories
|--- | -----------------------------------

The NRV is determined based on the estimated selling
prices less the estimated costs to completion, if relevant, other costs necessary to make the sale, and the related taxes. Determination of estimated selling prices requires significant management judgement, taking into consideration of historical
selling prices and future market trend. 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. 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
2016, the Group would need to generate future taxable income of at least RMB 412 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, Board of
Directors, 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, entrusted lending and incomes relating to these assets (such as share of profit of investments
accounted for using equity method and interest income) and borrowings and interest 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, acrylic fibres and carbon fibres, which are mainly used in the textile and apparel industries.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(ii) | The resins and plastics segment produces primarily polyester chips, polyethylene resins, polypropylene resins and PVA granules. The polyester chips are used to produce polyester fibres, coating and containers.
Polyethylene resins and plastics are used to produce insulated cable, mulching films and moulded products such as housewares and toys. Polypropylene resins are used for films, sheets and moulded products such as housewares, toys, consumer
electronics and automobile parts.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(iii) | The intermediate petrochemicals segment primarily produces p-xylene, benzene and ethylene oxide. The intermediate petrochemicals produced by the Group are both served as raw
materials in the production of other petrochemicals, resins, plastics and synthetic fibres, and sold to external customers.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(iv) | The petroleum products segment is equipped with crude oil refinery facilities used to produce qualified refined gasoline, fuel, diesel oil, heavy oil and liquefied petroleum gas, and provide raw materials for the
Groups downstream petrochemical processing facilities.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(v) | The trading of petrochemical products segment is primarily engaged in importing and exporting of petrochemical products. The products are sourced from international and domestic suppliers.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(vi) | Other operating segments represent the operating segments which do not meet the quantitative threshold for determining reportable segments. These include investment property leasing, service provision and a variety of
other commercial activities.

For the
year ended 31 December 2016



|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 recoginized.



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

As at 31 December 2016, 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 RMB 456,623 thousands and provision for inventories amounting to RMB 46,190 thousands (31 December 2015: RMB 432,579
thousands and RMB 46,190 thousands respectively), because it was not probable that the related tax benefit would be realized.

As at
31 December 2016, certain subsidiaries of the Company did not recognize the deferred tax assets of RMB 432,634 thousands (31 December 2015: RMB 411,284 thousands) in respect of unused tax losses carried forward for PRC income tax purpose
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. The number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options less the number of shares that could have been issued at fair value (determined as the average market price per the Companys
A share for year ended 31 December 2016) for the same total proceeds is the number of shares issued for no consideration. The resulting number of shares issued for no consideration is included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares
as the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share for year ended
31 December 2014,2015 and 2016 was shown as:

|(a) | The Groups share of losses in Jinpu exceeded RMB 2,727 thousands to its interest during the year ended 31 December 2016 (2015 and 2014: nil), cumulatively exceeded RMB 2,727 thousands to its investment as at
31 December 2016 (31 December 2015 and 2014: nil). The Group has no obligations and does not need to make payments on behalf of Jinpu. Meanwhile, the Group has not any other unsecured receivables due from Jinpu. As a result, the Group did
not recognize further losses and the carrying amount of the investment in Jinpu was solely decreased to zero.

Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the
year ended 31 December 2016



|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 the exercise price under vesting
conditions. The options were divided by three tranches of 40%, 30% and 30% of the total share options granted, respectively. Each tranche had independent vesting conditions relevant to year 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, which were listed as
following:



| |  |  | weighted average rate of 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 tranche;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | for each year of 2015, 2016 and 2017, proportion of the main business revenue in the total revenue should be no less than 99%;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | for each year of 2015, 2016 and 2017, 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. in 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
participant should serve the Group at the required position from the grant date. Exercisable amount of each tranche depended on the time for which the participant served the Group during each year of 2015, 2016 and 2017. Upon the fulfilment of
relevant vesting conditions, the share options of each tranche shall become exercisable at its exercisable date.

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 2016, no share option had been exercised yet.

As at the grand date, the exercise price of each option was RMB 4.2. During the vesting period, the exercise price would be adjusted according
to the declaration of dividends or any changes of total shares. As at 31 December 2016, the outstanding share options of each tranche, their exercisable date and exercise price are as follows. These outstanding share options will expire in

|(g) | 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.
