Domestic demand for +natural gas and chemicals remained robust as +the Chinese economy maintained its steady +growth. Competition in the domestic refined oil +market was fierce. As it made major decisions, +the Board of Directors (the "Board") focused on +steady and firm improvement, and adhered to +its overarching strategies of promoting value. +oriented growth, innovation-driven development, +integrated resource allocation, openness +to cooperation, and green and low-carbon +development. With an emphasis on delivering +returns to shareholders, we continued to focus +on supply-side structural reform and stepped up +our efforts to enhance the Company's efficiency, +profitability and corporate governance. +Over the past year, under the leadership of +our management, the entire staff focused on +optimisation, cost reduction, market expansion, +structural adjustment, reform, foundation +building, and risk management. As a result, our +operating results were better than expected, and +we met all performance targets for the year. In +our upstream business, we emphasized high- +efficiency exploration activities and cost-effective +development. Our crude oil reserve replacement +ratio reached 116%. At the same time, we +worked hard to ensure a stable gas supply for +the winter season, with gas production and sales +volume hitting record highs. Taking advantage +of our integrated value chain, which extends +from refining to marketing and distribution, +we actively responded to competitive market +conditions. We achieved satisfactory results and +further strengthened our competitive advantage. +In our chemical operations, we adopted a +customer-focused approach and enhanced the +adjustments in our product and feedstock mix. +Both the sales volume and profitability of the +chemicals segment reached record highs. +In accordance with IFRS, the Company's +turnover and other operating revenues reached +RMB 2.36 trillion in 2017, up by 22.2% from +the previous year. Profit attributable to equity +shareholders of the Company was RMB 51.244 +billion. Basic earnings per share were RMB +0.423, up by 9.9% from year on year. Taking +into account the Company's profitability, +cash position, shareholder return and future +business development, the Board proposed a +final dividend of RMB 0.40 per share, which +combined with the interim dividend of RMB 0.10 +per share, brought the full-year dividend to RMB +0.50 per share, up by 100.8% from the previous +year. +During the three years of the sixth session of +the Board, the global economy recovered slowly, +and China's economy entered a "new normal" +phase. International oil prices fluctuated at +low levels, with heavy repercussions for the +upstream sector. At the same time, competition +in the refined oil market intensified, with the +government introducing a series of far-reaching +policies in the oil and petrochemical industries. +In the face of a complex and challenging +operating environment, the Board emphasised on +its principles of innovation, coordination, green +development, openness and shared growth. +We formulated our five major development +strategies, 13th Five-Year Development Plan +and Three-Year Rolling Development Program, +taking advantage of our integrated value chain +to accelerate the Company's transformation and +structural adjustments, eventually we achieved +excellent operating performance. At the same +time, we made outstanding progress in our +corporate governance, corporate development, +reforms and adjustments, and technological +innovation, as well as in the fulfillment of our +social responsibilities. +Over the past three years, we consistently +enhanced the composition and operation of the +Board and the Supervisory Committee. The effort +of confirming the role of the Chinese Communist +Party in the Company's corporate governance +facilitated a better corporate governance +mechanism featuring scientific decision-making +and effective implementation and supervision. +We focused on improving product quality, +enhancing our efficiency and upgrading our +businesses, thus driving the Company's +sustainable development. In our upstream +business, we implemented a low-cost strategy to +address the challenge of low oil prices, focused +on high-efficiency exploration and development, +and enlarged our proved reserves to lay a +stronger foundation for sustainable development. +We also developed our natural gas business as +a new driver for profit growth.

Unrealised losses resulting from transactions +between the Group and its associates or joint ventures are fully recognised in the event that there is an evidence of impairment. +Where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group's interest in the fair value of the investee's identifiable +net assets at the date of acquisition, the investment is initially recognised at the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is +less than the Group's interest in the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the investment is initially +recognised at the investor's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets, and the difference is charged to profit or loss. +After the acquisition of the investment, the Group recognises its share of the investee's net profits or losses and other comprehensive income +as investment income or losses and other comprehensive income, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. Once the +investee declares any cash dividends or profits distributions, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced by that attributable to the +Group. +The Group's accounting treatments when adopting the equity method include: +The initial cost of investment in joint ventures and associates is stated at the consideration paid except for cash dividends or profits +distributions declared but unpaid at the time of acquisition and therefore included in the consideration paid should be deducted if the +investment is made in cash. Under the circumstances that the long-term investment is obtained through non-monetary asset exchange, the +initial cost of the investment is stated at the fair value of the assets exchanged if the transaction has commercial substance, the difference +between the fair value of the assets exchanged and its carrying amount is charged to profit or loss; or stated at the carrying amount of the +assets exchanged if the transaction lacks commercial substance. +An investment in a joint ventures or an associate is accounted for using the equity method, unless the investment is classified as held for +sale. +An associate is the investee that the Group has significant influence on their financial and operating policies. Significant influence represents +the right to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over the establishment +of these policies. The Group generally considers the following circumstances in determining whether it can exercise significant influence +over the investee: whether there is representative appointed to the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee; whether +to participate in the investee's policy-making process; whether there are significant transactions with the investees; whether there is +management personnel sent to the investee; whether to provide critical technical information to the investee. +A joint venture is an incorporated entity over which the Group, based on legal form, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances, +has joint control with the other parties to the joint venture and rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually +agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of +the Group and the parties sharing control. +(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates +The Group discontinues recognising its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and +any long-term interest that is in substance forms part of the Group's net investment in the associate or the joint ventures is reduced to +zero, except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to assume additional losses. However, if the Group has incurred obligations for +additional losses and the conditions on recognition of provision are satisfied in accordance with the accounting standard on contingencies, +the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provision. Where net profits are subsequently made by the associate or joint +venture, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. +The Group adjusts the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment for changes in owners' equity of the investee other than those +arising from net profits or losses and other comprehensive income, and recognises the corresponding adjustment in capital reserve. +(5) Long-term equity investments (Continued) +Fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 3(11)). Construction in +progress is stated in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (see Note 3(11)). +Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the asset is ready for its intended use. No depreciation is provided against +construction in progress. +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +95 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes produced and reserves. +The Group estimates future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration +the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with the industry practices. These estimated future dismantlement costs are +discounted at credit-adjusted risk-free rate and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs +of the oil and gas properties. +The acquisition cost of mineral interest is capitalised as oil and gas properties. Costs of development wells and related support equipment are +capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found +proved reserves. Exploratory well costs are charged to expenses upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. However, +in the absence of a determination of the discovery of proved reserves, exploratory well costs are not carried as an asset for more than one +year following completion of drilling. If, after one year has passed, a determination of the discovery of proved reserves cannot be made, the +exploratory well costs are impaired and charged to expense. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are charged +to profit or loss in the year as incurred. +Oil and gas properties include the mineral interests in properties, wells and related support equipment arising from oil and gas exploration and +production activities. +The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset +to working condition for its intended use. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, capitalised borrowing +costs (see Note 3(18)), and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. According to legal +or contractual obligations, costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which the related assets located are included in +the initial cost. +3% +(7) Oil and gas properties +Useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +Equipment, machinery and others +Plants and buildings +Other than oil and gas properties, the cost of fixed assets less residual value and accumulated impairment losses is depreciated using the +straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, unless the fixed asset is classified as held for sale. The estimated useful lives and the +estimated rate of residual values adopted for respective classes of fixed assets are as follows: +The Group terminates the recognition of an item of fixed asset when it is in a state of disposal or it is estimated that it is unable to generate +any economic benefits through use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of fixed asset are determined +as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of +retirement or disposal. +The subsequent costs including the cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets are recognised in the carrying amount of the item if the +recognition criteria are satisfied, and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of fixed +assets are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. +Where the individual component parts of an item of fixed asset have different useful lives or provide benefits to the Group in different patterns +thus necessitating use of different depreciation rates or methods, each part is recognised as a separate fixed asset. +Estimated Estimated rate +useful life of residual value +12.50 years +3% +4.30 years +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +The assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The equity +items, excluding “Retained earnings", are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates at the transaction dates. The income and +expenses of foreign operation are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates or an exchange rate that approximates the spot exchange +rates on the transaction dates. The resulting exchange differences are separately presented as other comprehensive income in the balance sheet +within equity. Upon disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognised in which relate to that foreign +operation is transferred to profit or loss in the year in which the disposal occurs. +Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the PBOC rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences, except for those directly +related to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets, are recognised as income or expenses in the income statement. Non- +monetary items denominated in foreign currency measured at historical cost are not translated. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign +currency that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The difference +between the translated amount and the original currency amount is recognised as other comprehensive income, if it is classified as available-for- +sale financial assets; or charged to the income statement if it is measured at fair value through profit or loss. +(2) Transactions in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements in foreign currencies +Foreign currency transactions are, on initial recognition, translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of +China ("PBOC rates") at the transaction dates. +The unrealised profit or loss arising from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries is eliminated in full against the net profit +attributed to shareholders; the unrealised profit or loss from the sale of assets by subsidiaries to the Company is eliminated according to the +distribution ratio between shareholders of the parent company and minority interests. For sale of assets that occurred between subsidiaries, +the unrealised gains and losses is eliminated according to the distribution ratio for its subsidiaries seller between net profit attributable to +shareholders of the parent company and minority interests. +Where the accounting policies and accounting period adopted by the subsidiaries are different from those adopted by the Company, +adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements according to the Company's accounting policies and accounting period. Intra- +group balances and transactions, and any unrealised profit or loss arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the +consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised +gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. +The excess of the loss attributable to the minority interests during the period over the minority interests' share of the equity at the beginning +of the reporting period is deducted from minority interests. +Minority interest is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity. Net profit or loss attributable to +minority shareholders is presented separately in the consolidated income statement below the net profit line item. +In a business combination involving entities not under common control achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity +interest in the acquiree on the acquisition date. The difference between the fair value and the net book value is recognised as investment +income for the year. If other comprehensive income was recognised regarding the equity interest previously held in the acquiree before the +acquisition date, the relevant other comprehensive income is transferred to investment income in the period in which the acquisition occurs. +Where control of a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal of the equity investment held in a subsidiary, or any other reasons, the Group +derecognises assets, liabilities, minority interests and other equity items related to the subsidiary. The remaining equity investment is +remeasured to fair value at the date in which control is lost. The sum of consideration received from disposal of equity investment and the +fair value of the remaining equity investment, net of the fair value of the Group's previous share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets +recorded from the acquisition date, is recognised in investment income in the period in which control is lost. Other comprehensive income +related to the previous equity investment in the subsidiary, is transferred to investment income when control is lost. Other comprehensive +income related to the equity investment of the orginal subsidiary shall be converted into the current investment income in the event of loss of +control. +(3) Cash and cash equivalents +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +91 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +Where the Company acquired a minority interest from a subsidiary's minority shareholders, the difference between the investment cost and +the newly acquired interest into the subsidiary's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date is adjusted to the capital reserve (capital +surplus) in the consolidated balance sheet. Where the Company partially disposed an investment of a subsidiary that do not result in a loss +of control, the difference between the proceeds and the corresponding share of the interest into the subsidiary is adjusted to the capital +reserve (capital surplus) in the consolidated balance sheet. If the credit balance of capital reserve (capital surplus) is insufficient, any excess +is adjusted to retained profits. +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control (Continued) +Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, short-term and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into +known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. +92 +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +93 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +An investment in a subsidiary acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially recognised at actual purchase cost if the +Group acquires the investment by cash, or at the fair value of the equity securities issued if an investment is acquired by issuing equity +securities, or at the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement if an investment is contributed by investors. +For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial +investment cost comprises the aggregate of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued +by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquiree. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not +involving enterprises under common control, if it is achieved in stages, the initial cost comprises the carrying value of previously-held equity +investment in the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date, and the additional investment cost at the acquisition date. +The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination involving entities under common +control is the Company's share of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's equity at the combination date. The difference between the initial +investment cost and the carrying amounts of the consideration given is adjusted to share premium in capital reserve. If the balance of the +share premium is insufficient, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. +In the Company's separate financial statements, long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method. +Except for cash dividends or profits distributions declared but not yet distributed that have been included in the price or consideration paid +in obtaining the investments, the Company recognises its share of the cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee as +investment income irrespective of whether these represent the net profit realised by the investee before or after the investment. Investments +in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (see Note 3(11)) in the balance sheet. At initial recognition, such investments are +measured as follows: +(a) Investment in subsidiaries +(5) Long-term equity investments +Inventories are recorded by perpetual method. +Inventories include raw materials, work in progress, semi-finished goods, finished goods and reusable materials. Reusable materials include +low-value consumables, packaging materials and other materials, which can be used repeatedly but do not meet the definition of fixed assets. +Reusable materials are amortised in full when received for use. The amounts of the amortisation are included in the cost of the related assets or +profit or loss. +Any excess of the cost over the net realisable value of each item of inventories is recognised as a provision for diminution in the value of +inventories. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the +estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. The net realisable value of materials held for use in the production is measured +based on the net realisable value of the finished goods in which they will be incorporated. The net realisable value of the quantity of inventory +held to satisfy sales or service contracts is measured based on the contract price. If the quantities held by the Group are more than the +quantities of inventories specified in sales contracts, the net realisable value of the excess portion of inventories is measured based on general +selling prices. +At the balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. +Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost includes the cost of purchase and processing, and other expenditures incurred in bringing the +inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method. In addition to the +cost of purchase of raw material, work in progress and finished goods include direct labour and an appropriate allocation of manufacturing +overhead costs. +(4) Inventories +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(8) Intangible assets +(d) Hedge accounting (Continued) +Fair value hedges +(10) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +98 +When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, +the Group will discontinue the hedge accounting treatments prospectively. In this case, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that +remains recognised directly in shareholders' equity from the period when the hedge was effective shall not be reclassified into profit or +loss and is recognised in accordance with the above policy when the forecast transaction occurs. If the forecast transaction is no longer +expected to occur, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that remains recognised directly in shareholders' equity from the period +when the hedge was effective shall be reclassified into profit or loss immediately. +A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm +commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or unrecognised firm commitment. +For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding two policy statements, the associated gain or loss is removed from +shareholders' equity and recognised in profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects +profit or loss. +the cumulative change in present value of the expected future cash flows on the hedged item from inception of the hedge. +The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an ineffective hedge is recognised in profit or loss. +If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the associated gain or loss is removed +from shareholders' equity, included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset, and recognised in profit or loss in the same year during +which the non-financial asset affects profit or loss. However, if the Group expects that all or a portion of a net loss recognised directly in +shareholders' equity will not be recovered in future accounting periods, it reclassifies the amount that is not expected to be recovered into +profit or loss. +the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; +A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that +is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in shareholders' equity as a separate component. That effective portion is +adjusted to the lesser of the following (in absolute amounts): +Cash flow hedges +The hedge is assessed by the Group for effectiveness on an ongoing basis and determined to have been highly effective throughout the +accounting periods for which the hedging relationship was designated. The Group uses a ratio analysis to assess the subsequent effectiveness +of a cash flow hedge, and uses a regression analysis to assess the subsequent effectiveness of a fair value hedge. +A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in fair value or cash flows are expected to offset changes in the fair value or +cash flows of the hedged item. +Hedged items are the items that expose the Group to risks of changes in fair value or future cash flows and that are designated as being +hedged. The Group's hedged items include fixed-rate borrowings that expose the Group to risk of changes in fair values, floating rate +borrowings that expose the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, and a forecast transaction that is settled with a fixed amount of foreign +currency and expose the Group to foreign currency risk, and a forecast transaction that is settled with an undetermined future market price +and exposes the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, etc. +Hedge accounting is a method which recognises the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the hedging instrument +and the hedged item in the same accounting period(s). +If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the associated gain +or loss is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss in the same period during which the financial asset or financial liability +affects profit or loss. However, if the Group expects that all or a portion of a net loss recognised directly in shareholders' equity will not +be recovered in future accounting periods, it reclassifies the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or loss. +The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedged +item attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognised in profit or loss. +When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Group +discontinues prospectively the hedge accounting treatments. If the hedged item is a financial instrument measured at amortised cost, any +adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortised to profit or loss from the adjustment date to the maturity date using +the recalculated effective interest rate at the adjustment date. +Hedge of net investment in foreign operation +Financial Statements (PRC) +99 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +(vi) a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost. +(v) significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and the cost of +investment may not be recoverable; and +(iv) due to the significant financial difficulty of the debtor, financial assets is unable to be traded in active market; +(iii) it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; +(ii) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; +(i) significant financial difficulty of the debtor; +Objective evidences of impairment include but not limited to: +The carrying amount of financial assets (except those financial assets stated at fair value with changes in the fair values charged to profit or +loss) are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.

After the initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. +Held-to-maturity investment +Loans and Receivables +A financial asset or financial liability is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is acquired or incurred principally for the +purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term or if it is a derivative, unless the derivative is a designated and effective hedging +instrument, or a financial guarantee contract, or a derivative that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity +instrument (without a quoted price from an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. These financial instruments +are initially measured at fair value with subsequently changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, +financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised +in profit or loss. +Financial asset or financial liability with change in fair value recognised through profit or loss +Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. For financial asset or financial liability of which the change in its +fair value is recognised in profit or loss, the relevant transaction cost is recognised in profit or loss. The transaction costs for other financial +assets or financial liabilities are included in the initially recognised amount. Subsequent to initial recognition financial assets and liabilities +are measured as follows: +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +The Group classifies financial assets and liabilities into different categories at initial recognition based on the purpose of acquiring assets +and assuming liabilities: financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity +investments, available-for-sale financial assets and other financial liabilities. +(a) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments +Financial instruments of the Group include cash and cash equivalents, bond investments, equity securities other than long-term equity +investments, receivables, derivative financial instruments, payables, loans, bonds payable, and share capital, financial asset with change in fair +value recognised through profit or loss, etc. +(10) Financial Instruments +Goodwill is not amortised and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see Note 3(11)).

For an intangible asset with finite useful life, its cost less estimated residual value and accumulated +impairment losses is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives, unless the intangible assets are classified as held for sale. +An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortised when there is no foreseeable limit to the year over which +the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Group. +The Group recognises a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance sheet when the Group enters into and becomes a party to the +underlining contract of the financial instrument. +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(10) Financial Instruments (Continued) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +97 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +If no active market exists for a financial instrument, a valuation technique is used to establish the fair value.

The Group calibrates the valuation technique and tests it for validity +periodically. +If there is an active market for a financial asset or financial liability, the quoted price in the active market is used to establish the fair value +of the financial asset or financial liability. +(c) Determination of fair value +the Group intends to settle the financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities +simultaneously. +the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off financial assets against financial liabilities; and +In the balance sheet, financial assets and liabilities are not offset unless all the following conditions are met: +Except for the other financial liabilities described above, subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at +amortised cost using the effective interest method. +Other financial liabilities include the liabilities arising from financial guarantee contracts. Financial guarantees are contracts that require +the issuer (i.e. the guarantor) to make specified payments to reimburse the beneficiary of the guarantee (the holder) for a loss the holder +incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Where the Group +issues a financial guarantee, subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount initially recognised +less accumulated amortisation and the amount of a provision determined in accordance with the principles of contingencies (see Note +3(15)). +Financial liabilities other than the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as other financial liabilities. +Other financial liabilities +Available-for-sale financial assets whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost subsequent to initial recognition. +Other than the above equity instrument investments whose fair values cannot be measured reliably, other available-for-sale financial assets +are initially stated at fair values. The gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are directly recognised in equity, except for +the impairment losses and exchange differences from monetary financial assets denominated in foreign currencies, which are recognised +in profit or loss. The cumulative gains and losses previously recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss when the available-for- +sale financial assets are derecognised. Dividend income from these equity instruments is recognised in profit or loss when the investee +declares the dividends. Interest on available-for-sale debt instrument investments calculated using the effective interest rate method is +recognised in profit or loss (see Note 3(16) (c)). +Available-for-sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sales and other financial +assets which do not fall into any of the above categories. +- +(a) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments (Continued) +Available-for-sale financial assets +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Where the Company combines a subsidiary during the reporting period through a business combination involving entities under common +control, the financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements as if the combination had occurred at +the beginning of the earliest comparative year presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established.

Present value of expected future cash flows is the estimation of future cash flows to be generated from the use of and upon +disposal of the asset, discounted at an appropriate pre-tax discount rate over the asset's remaining useful life. +The Group classifies post-employment benefits into either Defined Contribution Plan (DC plan) or Defined Benefit Plan (DB plan). DC plan +means the Group only contributes a fixed amount to an independent fund and no longer bears other payment obligation; DB plan is post- +employment benefits other than DC plan. In this reporting period, the post-employment benefits of the Group primarily comprise basic +pension insurance and unemployment insurance and both of them are DC plans. +Employees of the Group participate in the social insurance system established and managed by local labor and social security department. +The Group makes basic pension insurance to the local social insurance agencies every month, at the applicable benchmarks and rates +stipulated by the government for the benefits of its employees.

When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group +shall recognise the accrued amount according to the above social security provisions as a liability and charge to the cost of an asset or to +profit or loss in the same period. +(c) Termination benefits +When the Group terminates the employment relationship with employees before the employment contracts expire, or provides compensation +as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, a provision for the termination benefits provided is recognised in profit +or loss under the conditions of both the Group has a formal plan for the termination of employment or has made an offer to employees for +voluntary redundancy, which will be implemented shortly; and the Group is not allowed to withdraw from termination plan or redundancy +offer unilaterally. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +101 +Financial Statements (PRC) +102 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Basic pension insurance +The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of expected future cash flows generated by the +asset (or asset unit, set of asset units). +An asset unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets +or groups of assets. An asset unit comprises related assets that generate associated cash inflows. In identifying an asset unit, the Group +primarily considers whether the asset unit is able to generate cash inflows independently as well as the management style of production and +operational activities, and the decision for the use or disposal of asset. +Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. +The recoverable amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain useful lives are estimated annually no matter there are any +indications of impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment together with related asset units or groups of asset units. +Gasoline +Products +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(11) Impairment of financial assets and non-financial long-term assets (Continued) +(a) Impairment of financial assets (Continued) +Receivables and held-to-maturity investments +Receivables are assessed for impairment on the combination of an individual basis and the aging analysis. +Held-to-maturity investments are assessed for impairment on an individual basis. +Where impairment is assessed on an individual basis, an impairment loss in respect of a receivable or held-to-maturity investment is +calculated as the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows (exclusive of future credit losses +that have not been incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. +Impairment loss on receivables and held-to-maturity investments is reversed in profit or loss if evidence suggests that the financial assets' +carrying amounts have increased and the reason for the increase is objectively as a result of an event occurred after the recognition of the +impairment loss. The reversed carrying amount shall not exceed the amortised cost if the financial assets had no impairment recognised. +Available-for-sale financial assets +Available-for-sale financial assets are assessed for impairment on an individual basis. Objective evidence of impairment for equity +instruments classified as available-for-sale includes information about significant but not temporary decline in the fair value of the equity +investment instrument below its cost. The Group assesses equity instruments classified as available-for-sale separately at the end of +each reporting period, it will be considered as impaired if the fair value of the equity instrument at reporting date is less than its initial +investment cost over 50% (including 50%) or the duration of the fair value below its initial investment cost is more than one (including +one) year, if the fair value of the equity instrument at reporting date is less than its initial investment cost over 20% (including 20%) but +below 50%, other related factors such as price volatility will be taken into consideration to assess if it is impaired. +When available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value are impaired, despite not being derecognised, the cumulative losses +resulted from the decrease in fair value which had previously been recognised directly in shareholders' equity, are reversed and charged +to profit or loss. +When available-for-sale financial assets measured at cost are impaired, the differences between the book value and the discounted present +value with the market return of similar financial assets are charged to profit or loss. +Impairment loss of available-for-sale debt instrument is reversed, if the reason for the subsequent increase in fair value is objectively as +a result of an event occurred after the recognition of the impairment loss. Impairment loss for available-for-sale equity instrument is not +reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss for available-for-sale financial assets measured by the cost cannot be reversed in the +following period. +100 Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE

The primary +factors resulting in the E&P segment impairment loss were downward revision of oil and gas reserve due to price change and high operating and +development cost for certain oil fields. The carrying values of these E&P properties were written down to recoverable amounts which were determined +based on the present values of the expected future cash flows of the assets using a pre-tax discount rate 10.47% (2016: 10.47%). Further future +downward revisions to the Group's oil price outlook would lead to further impairments which, in aggregate, are likely to be material. It is estimated +that a general decrease of 5% in oil price, with all other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment loss in Group's fixed assets +relating to oil and gas producing activities by approximately RMB 3,145 million. It is estimated that a general increase of 5% in operating cost, +with all other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment in Group's fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing activities by +approximately RMB 2,659 million. It is estimated that a general increase of 5% in discount rate, with all other variables held constant, would result +in additional impairment loss in Group's fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing activities by approximately RMB 461 million. The assets in +the refining segment were written down due to the suspension of operations of certain production facilities, while the assets in the chemical segment +were written down because of evidence indicates the economic performance of certain production facilities are worse than expected and due to the +suspension of operations of certain production facilities. +172,080 +At 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were pledged. +At 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fully depreciated fixed assets which were still in use. +15 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS +Cost: +Balance at 1 January 2017 +Additions for the year +Disposals for the year +Dry hole costs written off +Transferred to fixed assets +Reclassification to other assets +Exchange adjustments +11,264 +At 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were temporarily idle or pending for +disposal. +15,954 +329,814 +141,725 +176,378 +6,042 +13,959 +Reclassifications +Transferred from subsidiaries +16 +19 +35 +Transferred to subsidiaries +(165) +(27) +(192) +163,266 +Decreases for the year +Balance at 31 December 2017 +1,797 +(12) +34,271 +(164) +21,824 +(214) +57,892 +Net book value: +Balance at 31 December 2017 +24,823 +Balance at 31 December 2016 +24,562 +(38) +Additions for the year +Transferred to subsidiaries +Reclassifications +(199) +(2,912) +120,013 +667,657 +940,312 +1,727,982 +45,243 +404,919 +463,023 +Additions for the year +4,075 +(2,573) +55,057 +913,185 +105,717 +Reclassifications +(122) +(77) +199 +Decreases for the year +(771) +(1,488) +(11,466) +Exchange adjustments +(57) +46,585 +(1,952) +(140) +723 +Reclassifications +Decreases for the year +Exchange adjustments +Balance at 31 December 2017 +Accumulated depreciation: +Balance at 1 January 2017 +114,920 +854 +650,685 +1,627 +6,789 +19,881 +(673) +(19,736) +(50) +(1,913) +Oil +and gas +properties +RMB million +Equipment, +machinery +and others +RMB million +Total +RMB million +1,658,541 +14,464 +81,275 +(23,386) +892,936 +11,983 +54,605 +(1,737) +Transferred from subsidiaries +(95) +48,368 +74,135 +Net book value: +Balance at 31 December 2017 +67,813 +171,840 +411,121 +650,774 +Balance at 31 December 2016 +66,348 +215,124 +409,122 +30,945 +690,594 +Plants and +buildings +Oil +and gas +properties +Equipment +RMB million +RMB million +machinery +and others +RMB million +Total +RMB million +Cost: +Balance at 1 January 2017 +Additions for the year +Transferred from construction in progress +The company +Balance at 31 December 2017 +39,358 +Balance at 31 December 2017 +456,459 +498,246 +(13,725) +(2,104) +1,003,073 +Provision for impairment losses: +Balance at 1 January 2017 +3,329 +30,642 +20,791 +54,762 +Additions for the year +554 +3,832 +8,832 +19,836 +Reclassifications +Decreases for the year +(51) +(12) +(295) +(358) +Exchange adjustments +(104) +(1) +(105) +10,450 +300 +12 AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS +155 +(3,491) +Decreases for the year +24,752 +898 +11,837 +190 +1,075 +10,752 +Additions for the year +117,900 +4,013 +36,908 +4,134 +4,378 +68,467 +Balance at 1 January 2017 +Cost: +Total +RMB million +Others +RMB million +rights +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +technology +(293) +Patents +(479) +(249) +9,545 +448 +4,338 +515 +162 +4,082 +Additions for the year +32,023 +2,596 +9,892 +2,259 +3,261 +14,015 +Balance at 1 January 2017 +Accumulated amortisation: +138,008 +4,662 +48,613 +3,845 +5,160 +75,728 +Balance at 31 December 2017 +(4,644) +(132) +Decreases for the year +Operation +Land use +rights +RMB million +10% +1,329 +1,205 +124 +13,865 +Wen 23 gas storage project (first-stage) +self-financing +670 +Bank loans & +68% +2,365 +(2,538) +4,903 +15,475 +Guangxi LNG Project +self-financing +25 +Bank loans & +20% +6,990 +3,716 +3,274 +34,667 +Bank loans & +Non-patent +1 +Tianjin LNG Project +The Group +16 INTANGIBLE ASSETS +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +construction project (first-stage) +self-financing +gas (SNG) export pipeline +Bank loans & +15% +1,692 +1,041 +651 +11,589 +Xinjiang coal-based substitute natural +self-financing +148 +Bank loans & +78% +3,154 +(5,059) +8,213 +13,639 +self-financing +(1,119) +(255) +(24) +Long-term deferred expenses primarily represent prepaid rental expenses over one year and catalysts expenditures. +18 LONG-TERM DEFERRED EXPENSES +Key assumptions used for cash flow forecasts for these entities are the gross margin and sales volume.

After the Transaction, the Company, +together with its subsidiaries, hold 100% equity interest of Shanghai SECCO, which became a subsidiary of the Company. +Joint ventures +Associates (i) +Shanghai SECCO is principally engaged in the production and sale of petrochemical products including acrylonitrile, polystyrene, polyethylene, +Net profits +Operating +cash flow +Net cash +flow of +Acquiree +Shanghai +Time of +acquisition +26/10/2017 +SECCO +Cost of +acquisition +RMB 10,135 +million +etc. +In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group's chief operating decision maker for the purposes of +resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has identified the following five reportable segments. No operating segments have been +aggregated to form the following reportable segments. +Others +At 31 December +59 SEGMENT REPORTING +The Group is a defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. +Management has assessed the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome of such contingencies, lawsuits or other proceedings and believes that any +resulting liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Group. +Legal contingencies +The Group paid normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB 7,851 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 (2016: RMB 6,358 +million). +Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial +position or operating results of the Group. The PRC government, however, has moved, and may move further towards more rigorous enforcement +of applicable laws, and towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect the Group's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature and +extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to refineries, oil fields, service stations, terminals and land development areas, +whether operating, closed or sold, (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts, (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies, (iv) changes. +in environmental remediation requirements, and (v) the identification of new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable +due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be +required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at +present, and could be material. +Environmental contingencies +The Group monitors the conditions that are subject to the guarantees to identify whether it is probable that a loss will occur, and recognises any +such losses under guarantees when those losses are reliably estimable. At 31 December 2017 and 2016, it was not probable that the Group will +be required to make payments under the guarantees. Thus no liabilities have been accrued for a loss related to the Group's obligation under these +guarantee arrangements. +(i) The group provided a guarantee in respect to standby credit facilities granted to Zhongtian Synergetic Energy by banks amount to RMB +17,050 million. As at 31 December 2017, the amount withdrawn by Zhongtian Synergetic Energy from banks and guaranteed by the group +was RMB 13,520 million. +24,192 +Total +22,872 +11,545 +13,520 +9,732 +658 +940 +RMB million +RMB million +2016 +2017 +At 31 December +10,669 +Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the +Group, directly or indirectly, including directors and supervisors of the Group.

Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based +on volumes produced and reserves. +Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration +the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in the similar geographic area, including estimation +of economic life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are +capitalised as oil and gas properties with equivalent amounts recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs. +Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the +subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have +to be met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as "proved". Proved and proved developed reserves estimates are updated +at least annually and take into account recent production and technical information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels +change from year to year, the estimate of proved and proved developed reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate +for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in related depreciation rates. Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on +the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil and gas properties reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves +estimates are revised downwards, earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the property's +carrying amount. +The accounting for the exploration and production segment's oil and gas activities is subject to accounting rules that are unique to the oil and +gas industry. The Group has used the successful efforts method to account for oil and gas business activities. The successful efforts method +reflects the volatility that is inherent in exploring for mineral resources in that costs of unsuccessful exploratory efforts are charged to expense. +These costs primarily include dry hole costs, seismic costs and other exploratory costs. +(a) Oil and gas properties and reserves +The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of +reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the financial statements. The significant +accounting policies are set forth in Note 3. The Group believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and +estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. +The Group's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the +preparation of the financial statements. The Group bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions +that it believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. +On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, circumstances and conditions +change. +55 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS +If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered "impaired", and +an impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with "ASBE 8 - Impairment of Assets". The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are +reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for +impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a +decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. The +recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of expected future cash flows. It is difficult to precisely +estimate the fair value because quoted market prices for the Group's assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining +the value of expected future cash flows, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present +value, which requires significant judgement relating to sales volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rate. The Group uses +all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based +on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rate. +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +6,147 +5,768 +499 +5,648 +5,344 +424 +2016 +RMB thousand +RMB thousand +2017 +134 Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Sinopec Lubricant Company Limited +(c) Depreciation +(d) Allowances for doubtful accounts +Sinopec Yangzi Petrochemical Company Limited +Sinopec Catalyst Company Limited +(a) Subsidiaries acquired through group restructuring: +China Petrochemical International Company Limited +China International United Petroleum and Chemical +Company Limited +Full name of enterprise +31 December +Minority +Interests at +Percentage +of equity +interest/ +voting right +held by +31 December +Actual +investment at +Fixed assets 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 at least annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense +to be recorded during any reporting year. The useful lives are based on the Group's historical experience with similar assets and taking into +account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future years is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous +estimates. +Registered +capital/paid- +56 PRINCIPAL SUBSIDIARIES +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 135 +If the costs of inventories become higher than their net realisable values, an allowance for diminution in value of inventories is recognised. +Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the +estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Management bases the estimates on all available information, including the current market prices of +the finished goods and raw materials, and historical operating costs. If the actual selling prices were to be lower or the costs of completion were +to be higher than estimated, the actual allowance for diminution in value of inventories would be higher than estimated. +(e) Allowance for diminution in value of inventories +Management estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the Group's customers to make the required +payments.

At 31 December +2017, the Group's outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB 56,567 million (2016: RMB 36,933 million) and were included in loans. +Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group encounters short fall of capital when meeting its obligation of financial liabilities. The Group's approach to +managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal +and stressed capital conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. The Group prepares monthly +cash flow budget to ensure that they will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. The Group arranges and +negotiates financing with financial institutions and maintains a certain level of standby credit facilities to reduce the liquidity risk. +Liquidity risk +The carrying amounts of cash at bank, trade accounts and bills receivables, derivative financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through +profit or loss and other receivables, represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. +Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, +and arises principally from the Group's deposits placed with financial institutions (including structured deposit) and receivables from customers. +To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Group primarily places cash deposits only with large financial institution in the PRC with +acceptable credit ratings. The majority of the Group's accounts receivable relates to sales of petroleum and chemical products to related parties +and third parties operating in the petroleum and chemical industries. No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of total accounts +receivable at 31 December 2017, except for the amounts due from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries. The Group performs ongoing +credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Group maintains an +impairment loss for doubtful accounts and actual losses have been within management's expectations. +Credit risk +The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, and set appropriate risk limits and +controls to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market +conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and +constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Internal audit department undertakes both regular +and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Group's audit committee. +The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework, and developing +and monitoring the Group's risk management policies. +market risk; +credit risk; +liquidity risk; +The Group has exposure to the following risks from its uses of financial instruments: +Financial assets of the Group include cash at bank, financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, equity investments other than long-term +equity investment, accounts receivable, bills receivable, available-for-sale financial assets, derivative financial instruments and other receivables. +Financial liabilities of the Group include short-term and long-term loans, accounts payable, bills payable, debentures payable, employee benefits +payable, derivative financial instruments and other payables. +Overview +60 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +1,046,096 +45,887 +143 +1,000,209 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +Short-term loans +RMB million +five years +RMB million +five years +More than +More than +two years +but less than +one year +but less than +two years +RMB million +Within +one year or +on demand +RMB million +At 31 December 2017 +More than +Total +contractual +undiscounted +cash flow +RMB million +RMB million +amount +Carrying +The following table sets out the remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date of the Group's financial liabilities, which are based on +contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on prevailing rates at the +balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Group would be required to repay: +Liquidity risk (Continued) +60 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +144 +144,371 +RMB million +At 31 December +21,258 +211 +2,898 +267 +1,894 +13,556 +108,425 +115,310 +2,093 +1,723 +12,654 +12,873 +14,540 +15,463 +17,209 +18,408 +61,929 +66,843 +76,456 +16,425 +2016 +675 +11,605 +1.655 +979,329 +48,572 +1,027,901 +RMB million +2017 +At 31 December +1,930,911 +2,360,193 +290,726 +332,479 +1,488,117 +152,068 +1,758,365 +269,349 +2016 +RMB million +2017 +RMB million +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +142 +Non-current assets +Mainland China +Others +Others +Mainland China +Singapore +External sales +The following tables set out information about the geographical information of the Group's external sales and the Group's non-current assets, +excluding financial instruments and deferred tax assets.

This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the balance sheet date and the +change was applied to the Group's loans outstanding at that date with exposure to cash flow interest rate risk. The analysis is performed on the +same basis for 2016. +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term loans.

A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group are set out in Note 2. +Basis of preparation +As part of the Reorganisation, certain of Sinopec Group Company's core oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses together with the +related assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company. On 25 February 2000, in consideration for Sinopec Group Company transferring such +oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses and the related assets and liabilities to the Company, the Company issued 68.8 billion domestic +state-owned ordinary shares with a par value of RMB 1.00 each to Sinopec Group Company. The shares issued to Sinopec Group Company on 25 +February 2000 represented the entire registered and issued share capital of the Company on that date. The oil and gas and chemical operations and +businesses transferred to the Company were related to (i) the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the refining, +transportation, storage and marketing of crude oil and petroleum products, and (iii) the production and sales of chemicals. +The Company was established in the PRC on 25 February 2000 as a joint stock limited company as part of the reorganisation (the "Reorganisation") +of China Petrochemical Corporation ("Sinopec Group Company"), the ultimate holding company of the Group and a ministry-level enterprise under +the direct supervision of the State Council of the PRC. Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the oil and gas and chemical operations of the +Group were carried on by oil administration bureaux, petrochemical and refining production enterprises and sales and marketing companies of +Sinopec Group Company. +Organisation +China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the "Company") is an energy and chemical company that, through its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively +referred to as the "Group"), engages in oil and gas and chemical operations in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). Oil and gas operations +consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; transporting crude oil and natural gas by pipelines; refining crude oil +into finished petroleum products; and marketing crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products. Chemical operations include the manufacture +and marketing of a wide range of chemicals for industrial uses. +Principal activities +Inventories +Year ended 31 December +2017 +Accounts receivable and other current assets +190,603 +7,467 +6,876 +108,425 +115,310 +80,151 +86,697 +Gain on dilution and remeasurement of interests in the Pipeline Ltd +(16,525) +Investment income +Dry hole costs written off +Depreciation, depletion and amortisation +Adjustments for: +Profit before taxation +Operating activities +RMB +RMB +Share of profits from associates and joint ventures +(9,306) +(262) +(263) +211,809 +17,076 +21,791 +1,528 +1,518 +86 +(1,547) +(Gain)/loss on foreign currency exchange rate changes and derivative financial instruments +Loss on disposal of property, plant, equipment and other non-currents assets, net +Impairment losses on assets +9,219 +7,146 +Interest expense +(3,218) +(5,254) +Interest income +(3,941) +Gain on remeasurement of interests in the Shanghai SECCO (Note 35) +(20,562) +Net charges from: +(30) +(Amounts in million) +CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS +to +attributable +Total equity +Note: +Balance at 31 December 2017 +Others +Total transactions with owners +Share +that do not result in a loss of control +Transaction with non-controlling interests +do not result in a loss of control: +Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries that +Total contributions by and distributions to owners +Distributions to non-controlling interests +Appropriation (Note (a)) +Interim dividend for 2017 (Note 13) +Total changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries +Capital +Share +surplus +Company +earnings +reserves +reserve +reserve +premium +RMB +RMB +RMB +reserve +capital +Total +Non- +controlling +of the +Retained +Other +shareholders +Statutory Discretionary +surplus +Final dividend for 2016 (Note 13). +interests +Contributions by and distributions to owners: +Total comprehensive income for the year +125 +9 +116 +(153) +153 +116 +(22,828) +121,071 +(3,785) +(16,876) +(2,167) +233 +263 +(30) +(30) +233 +(19,043) +26,290 +55,850 +79,640 117,000 +Other comprehensive income (Note 14) +Profit for the year +Balance at 1 January 2017 +(Amounts in million) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY (CONTINUED) +156 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +155 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +The notes on pages 159 to 205 form part of these consolidated financial statements. +831,235 +120,241 +710,994 +310,719 +424 +Transactions with owners, recorded directly in equity: +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +equity +RMB +(44,479) +(11,777) +(32,702) +(35,731) +3,042 +(13) +711 +121,071 +724 +(13) +711 +724 +(13) +(13) +(45,190) +(12,501) +(13) +49 +26,326 +(107) +27 +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +The notes on pages 159 to 205 form part of these consolidated financial statements. +(e) The application of the share premium account is governed by Sections 167 and 168 of the PRC Company Law. +(d) The capital reserve represents (i) the difference between the total amount of the par value of shares issued and the amount of the net assets transferred from Sinopec +Group Company in connection with the Reorganisation (Note1); and (ii) the difference between the considerations paid over or received the amount of the net assets of +entities and related operations acquired from or sold to Sinopec Group Company and non-controlling interests. +(c) As at 31 December 2017, the amount of retained earnings available for distribution was RMB 177,049 million (2016: RMB 182,440 million), being the amount +determined in accordance with ASBE. According to the Articles of Association of the Company, the amount of retained earnings available for distribution to shareholders +of the Company is lower of the amount determined in accordance with the accounting policies complying with ASBE and the amount determined in accordance with the +accounting policies complying with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS”). +(b) The usage of the discretionary surplus reserve is similar to that of statutory surplus reserve. +During the year ended 31 December 2017, the Company transferred RMB 3,042 million (2016: nil) to the statutory surplus reserve, being 10% of the current year's net +profit determined in accordance with the accounting policies complying with ASBE to this reserve. +(a) According to the PRC Company Law and the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its net profit determined in accordance +with the accounting policies complying with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("ASBE"), adopted by the Group to statutory surplus reserve. In the event +that the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital, no transfer is required. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of a dividend to +shareholders. Statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good previous years' losses, if any, and may be converted into share capital by issuing of new shares to +shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the balance after such issue is +not less than 25% of the registered capital. +852,890 +126,770 +726,120 +326,125 +(2,934) +117,000 +82,682 +55,850 +92 +(32,689) +RMB +(35,731) +(12,501) +51,244 +831,235 +120,241 +710,994 +310,719 +424 +117,000 +51,244 +79,640 +26,290 +121,071 +RMB +RMB +RMB +RMB +RMB +55,850 +19,174 +70,418 +-- (3,481) +(12,501) +(3,042) +3,042 +(12,107) +(12,107) +(12,107) +(20,582) +(20,582) +(20,582) +66,042 +18,279 +47,763 +51.244 +(3,481) +(4,376) +(895) +(3,481) +3,042 +16,525 +150 +Share of profits less losses from associates and joint ventures +Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, +whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

We have nothing to report in this regard. +In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider +whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise +appears to be materially misstated. +Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion +thereon. +The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the annual +report other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. +OTHER INFORMATION +Based on our work, we found the key assumptions and input data adopted +were supported by the evidence we gathered and consistent with our +expectations. +Evaluated the sensitivity analyses prepared by the Group, and assessed +the potential impacts of a range of possible outcomes. +• Assessed the methodology adopted in, and tested mathematical +accuracy of, the discounted cash flow projections. +• Tested selected other key data inputs, such as natural gas prices and +production profiles in the projections by reference to historical data +and/or relevant budgets of the Group. +• Independently estimated a range of discount rates, and found that the +discount rates adopted by management were within the range. +Compared estimates of future crude oil prices adopted by the Group +against a range of reputable published crude oil price forecasts. +Compared the future production profiles against the oil and gas +reserve estimation report approved by the management. Evaluated +the competence, capability and objectivity of the management's +experts engaged in estimating the oil and gas reserves. Assessed key +estimations or assumptions used in the reserve estimation, by reference +to historical data, management plans and/or reputable external data. +Compared the future cost profiles against historical costs or relevant +budgets of the Group. +• Evaluated and tested the key controls, relating to the preparation of +the discounted cash flow projections of property, plant and equipment +related to oil and gas producing activities. +In auditing the respective values in use calculations of property, plant and +equipment related to oil and gas producing activities, we have performed +the following key procedures on the relevant discounted cash flow +projections prepared by management: +How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter +Because of the significance of the carrying amount of property, plant +and equipment related to oil and gas producing activities as at 31 +December 2017, together with the use of significant estimations or +assumptions in determining their respective values in use, we had +placed our audit emphasis on this matter. +Future crude oil prices; +Future production profiles; +Future cost profiles; and +Discount rates. +Low crude oil prices gave rise to possible indication that the carrying +amount of property, plant and equipment related to oil and gas +producing activities as at 31 December 2017 might be impaired. The +Group has adopted values in use as the respective recoverable amounts +of property, plant and equipment related to oil and gas producing +activities, which involved key estimations or assumptions including: +Refer to note 8 "OTHER OPERATING (EXPENSE)/INCOME, NET", note +16 “PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT", and note 41 "ACCOUNTING +ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS" to the consolidated financial +statements. +Recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment +related to oil and gas producing activities +Key Audit Matter +The key audit matter identified in our audit is "Recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment related to oil and gas producing +activities". +As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: +• +• +Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform +audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk +of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, +intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. +Operating expenses +50,721 +1,930,911 +1,880,190 +2,300,470 +59,723 +2,360,193 +4 +Other operating revenues +3 +Turnover +Turnover and other operating revenues +2016 +RMB +RMB +Year ended 31 December +2017 +Note +(Amounts in million, except per share data) +REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL AUDITOR (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +151 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +Hong Kong, 23 March 2018 +PricewaterhouseCoopers +Certified Public Accountants +The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is HON CHONG HENG. +From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the +consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report +unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not +be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of +such communication. +We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, +and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, +related safeguards. +We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit +findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. +Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an +opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the +consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence +obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. +Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the +consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the +directors. +Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but +not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control. +(B) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED UNDER INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRS") +CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT +19, 20 +Financial Statements (International) +Taxes other than income tax +7 +(235,292) +(232,006) +(16,554) +5,686 +(2,288,723) +71,470 +(1,853,718) +77,193 +9 +(7,146) +(9,219) +Interest income +5,254 +3,218 +Foreign currency exchange gains/(losses), net +332 +(610) +Net finance costs +Investment income +(63,887) +(1,560) +262 +(74,854) +819 +Purchased crude oil, products and operating supplies and expenses +(1,770,651) +(1,379,691) +Selling, general and administrative expenses +5 +(64,973) +(64,360) +Depreciation, depletion and amortisation +(115,310) +(108,425) +Exploration expenses, including dry holes. +(11,089) +(11,035) +Personnel expenses +Other operating (expense)/income, net +Total operating expenses +Operating profit +Finance costs +Interest expense +6 +(6,611) +263 +(834) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +168 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +167 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +8,385 +63,887 +55,502 +65,873 +8,981 +74,854 +RMB million +RMB million +2016 +2017 +13 +2 +(12) +159 +230 +(51) +2 +5 +73 +72 +14,410 +RMB million +RMB million +12,104 +2016 +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +7 TAXES OTHER THAN INCOME TAX +Consumption tax (i) +City construction tax (ii) +(613) +(453) +Tax effect of tax losses not recognised +1,485 +958 +Write-down of deferred tax assets +Adjustment of prior years +Actual income tax expense +Note: +(i) The provision for PRC current income tax is based on a statutory income tax rate of 25% of the assessable income of the Group as determined in accordance with the +relevant income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, except for certain entities of the Group in western regions in the PRC are taxed at preferential income tax rate of +15% through the year 2020. +(ii) It is mainly due to the foreign operation in the Republic of Angola ("Angola") calculated the assessable income in accordance with the relevant income tax rules and +regulations of Angola, and taxed at 50% of the assessable income as determined. +26 +811 +2017 +(72) +16,279 +20,707 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +169 +Financial Statements (International) +RMB million +192,907 +2016 +2017 +Products +(i) Consumption tax was levied based on sales quantities of taxable products, tax rate of products is presented as below: +Note: +Other +Education surcharge +Resources tax +228 +299 +50,721 +793 +59,723 +The contributions payable under the Group's retirement plans are recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement as incurred +and according to the contribution determined by the plans.

Revenue from the +rendering of services is recognised in the consolidated income statement upon performance of the services. No revenue is recognised if there are +significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, 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. +(s) Revenue recognition +Provisions for future dismantlement costs are initially recognised based on the present value of the future costs expected to be incurred in +respect of the Group's expected dismantlement and abandonment costs at the end of related oil and gas exploration and development activities. +Any subsequent change in the present value of the estimated costs, other than the change due to passage of time which is regarded as interest +cost, is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and oil and gas properties. +A provision is recognised for liability of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a +past event, when it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. +When it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is +disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

The primary +factors resulting in the E&P segment impairment loss were downward revision of oil and gas reserve due to price change and high operating and development cost +for certain oil fields. The carrying values of these E&P properties were written down to recoverable amounts which were determined based on the present values of +the expected future cash flows of the assets using a pre-tax discount rate 10.47% (2016: 10.47%). Further future downward revisions to the Group's oil price outlook +would lead to further impairments which, in aggregate, are likely to be material. It is estimated that a general decrease of 5% in oil price, with all other variables held +constant, would result in additional impairment loss on the Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities by approximately RMB +3,145 million. It is estimated that a general increase of 5% in operating cost, with all other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment loss on the +Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities by approximately RMB 2,659 million. It is estimated that a general increase of +5% in discount rate, with all other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment loss on the Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil +and gas producing activities by approximately RMB 461 million. The assets in the refining segment were written down due to the suspension of operations of certain +production facilities, while the assets in the chemical segment were written down because of evidence indicates the economic performance of certain production +facilities are worse than expected and due to the suspension of operations of certain production facilities. +(i) Government grants for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2016 primarily represent financial appropriation income and non-income tax refunds received from +respective government agencies without conditions or other contingencies attached to the receipts of the grants. +Note: +5,686 +(16,554) +(1,277) +(649) +Others +(152) +(89) +Fines, penalties and compensations +(133) +(152) +Donations +304 +(813) +195 +(909) +Net realised and unrealised gain on derivative financial instruments not qualified as hedging +Ineffective portion of change in fair value of cash flow hedges +(1,489) +(1,518) +Accretion expenses (Note 32) +Interest expense +* Interest rates per annum at which borrowing costs were capitalised for construction in progress +10 TAX EXPENSE +228 +21,313 +(10,317) +26,668 +(72) +RMB million +RMB million +2016 +2017 +Deferred taxation (Note 28) +- Adjustment of prior years +- Provision for the year +Current tax +2.65% to 4.82% +Loss on disposal of property, plant, equipment and other non-currents assets, net +2.37% to 4.41% +7,146 +1,057 +1,501 +8,162 +5,645 +(859) +(723) +9,021 +RMB million +RMB million +6,368 +2016 +2017 +Tax expense in the consolidated income statement represents: +9,219 +83 +(16,425) +Impairment losses on long-lived assets (ii) +13,695 +13,811 +18,155 +18,274 +193,836 +RMB million +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +20,707 +Reconciliation between actual income tax expense and the expected income tax expense at applicable statutory tax rates is as follows: +2017 +2016 +Tax effect of non-deductible expenses +Profit before taxation +Expected PRC income tax expense at a statutory tax rate of 25% +Tax effect of non-taxable income +Tax effect of preferential tax rate (i) +Effect of income taxes at foreign operations (ii) +Tax effect of utilisation of previously unrecognised tax losses and temporary differences +RMB million +86,697 +RMB million +80,151 +21,674 +20,038 +1,905 +1,529 +(5,939) +(2,786) +4,841 +3,871 +5,459 +2,449 +20,562 +3,941 +2016 +RMB million +4,101 +RMB million +4,893 +Gain on dilution and remeasurement of interests in the Pipeline Ltd +Gain on remeasurement of interests in the Shanghai SECCO (Note 35) +Government grant (i) +2017 +8 OTHER OPERATING (EXPENSE)/INCOME, NET +(ii) City construction tax is levied on an entity based on its total paid amount of value-added tax, consumption tax and business tax.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the +estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. A subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset, when the circumstances +and events that led to the write-down or write-off cease to exist, is recognised as an income. The reversal is reduced by the amount that +would have been recognised as depreciation had the write-down or write-off not occurred. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not +reversed. +(x) Operating leases +The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to disposal and the value in use. In determining the value in use, +expected future cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current +market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely +independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows +independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit). +The investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and +obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the +parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. +Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated and separate financial statements using the equity method +from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. Under the +equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Group's share of the +investee's net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (Note 2(j) and (o)). +The Group's share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the +consolidated income statement, whereas the Group's share of the post-acquisition, post-tax items of the investees' other comprehensive +income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. +When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate or joint control over a joint venture, it is accounted for as a disposal of +the entire interest in that investee, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former investee +at the date when significant influence or joint control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial +recognition of a financial asset (see Note 2(k)) or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate (see Note +2(a) (ii)). +(iii)Transactions eliminated on consolidation +Inter-company balances and transactions and any unrealised gains arising from inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation. +Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the entity. +Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. +161 +Financial Statements (International) +162 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(a) Basis of consolidation (Continued) +(iv) Merger accounting for common control combination +The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the combining entities or businesses in which the common +control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the +control of the controlling party. The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the +controlling parties' perspective. No amount is recognised as consideration for goodwill or excess of acquirers' interest in the net fair value of +acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the +continuation of the controlling party's interest. +The consolidated income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or +since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where there is a shorter period, regardless +of the date of the common control combination. The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the +entities or businesses had been combined at the previous balance sheet date or when they first came under common control, whichever is +shorter. +A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by those entities. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions +between combining entities or businesses are eliminated on consolidation. Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, +costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., +incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting is recognised as an expense +in the period in which it is incurred. +(b) Translation of foreign currencies +The presentation currency of the Group is Renminbi. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into Renminbi at the applicable +rates of exchange quoted by the People's Bank of China ("PBOC") prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets and +liabilities are translated into Renminbi at the PBOC's rates at the balance sheet date. +Exchange differences, other than those capitalised as construction in progress, are recognised as income or expense in the "finance costs" +section of the consolidated income statement. +The results of foreign operations are translated into Renminbi at the applicable rates quoted by the PBOC prevailing on the transaction dates. +Balance sheet items, including goodwill arising on consolidation of foreign operations are translated into Renminbi at the closing foreign +exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The income and expenses of foreign operation are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates +or an exchange rate that approximents the spot exchange rates on the transaction dates. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in +other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity in the other reserves. +On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from +equity to the consolidated income statement when the profit or loss on disposal is recognised. +(c) Cash and cash equivalents +Cash equivalents consist of time deposits with financial institutions with an initial term of less than three months when purchased. Cash +equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. +(d) Trade, bills and other receivables +Trade, bills and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, +less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts (Note 2(o)). Trade, bills and other receivables are derecognised if the Group's contractual +rights to the cash flows from these financial assets expire or if the Group transfers these financial assets to another party without retaining +control or substantially all risks and rewards of the assets. +(e) Inventories +Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of purchase computed using the weighted average +method and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Net +realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs +necessary to make the sale. +Financial Statements (International) +An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary, in which the Group exercises significant influence over its management. Significant influence +is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. +(ii) Associates and joint ventures +The particulars of the Group's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 39. +In the Company's balance sheet, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(o)). +The amount of the reduction is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect +of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then, to +reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced +below its individual fair value less costs to disposal, or value in use, if determinable. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +1 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, ORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued) +Basis of preparation (Continued) +(b) New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group +The following relevant IFRS, amendments to existing IFRS and interpretation of IFRS have been published and are mandatory for accounting +periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 or later periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. Management is in the process of +making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial +application and has so far concluded that, except for IFRS 16, the adoption of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is +unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group's results of operations and financial position. +IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments', addresses the classification, measurement and recognition 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 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 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. +IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers', establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise 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 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. +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 1 January 2019. Earlier application is +permitted if IFRS 15 is also applied. +Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 on sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments +address an inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 in the sale and contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint +venture. A full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves +assets that do not constitute a business, even if those assets are in a subsidiary. The amendments were originally intended to be effective for +annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The effective date has now been deferred/removed. Early application of the amendments +continues to be permitted. +The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the remeasurement of available-for-sale +securities (Note 2(k)), securities held for trading (Note 2(k)) and derivative financial instruments (Note 2(1) and (n)) to their fair values. +The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and +assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and +liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The +estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under +the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not +readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in +which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both +current and future periods. +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Key assumptions and estimation made by management in the application of IFRS that have significant effect on the consolidated financial +statements and the major sources of estimation uncertainty are disclosed in Note 41. +160 +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +(a) Basis of consolidation +The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, and interest in associates and joint ventures. +(i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests +Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Group. 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. +The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control effectively +commences until the date that control effectively ceases. +Non-controlling interests at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests that +are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and +consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non- +controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated +statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non- +controlling interests and the shareholders of the Company. +Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby +adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative +interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised. +If a business combination involving entities not under common control is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the +acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from +such remeasurement are recognised in the consolidated income statement. +When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain +or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair +value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset (Note 2(k)) or, when appropriate, the cost on +initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture (Note 2(a) (ii)). +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(I) Derivative financial instruments +Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value.

The gain or loss +on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in other operating (expense)/income, net, except where the derivatives qualify for cash +flow hedge accounting or hedge the net investment in a foreign operation, in which case recognition of any resulting gain or loss depends on the +nature of the item being hedged (Note 2(n)). +(m) Offsetting financial instruments +Financial assets and liabilities are presented respectively in the consolidated balance sheet, without any offset. However, they are offset and +reported in the balance sheet when satisfied the following: (i) There is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts. (ii) There +is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise 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. +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +(i) Cash flow hedges +Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognised asset or liability or a highly +probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk of a committed future transaction, the effective portion of any gains or losses on +remeasurement of the derivative financial instrument to fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately +in equity in other reserves. The ineffective portion of any gain or loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement. +If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the associated gain or loss is reclassified +from equity to be included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-financial asset. +If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the associated gain +or loss is reclassified from equity to the consolidated income statement in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or +liability assumed affects the consolidated income statement (such as when interest income or expense is recognised). +For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding two policy statements, the associated gain or loss is reclassified from equity +to the consolidated income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects the consolidated +income statement. +When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the entity revokes designation of the hedge relationship but the +hedged forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity until the transaction occurs +and it is recognised in accordance with the above policy. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative +unrealised gain or loss is reclassified from equity to the consolidated income statement immediately. +Financial Statements (International) +164 +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Investments in securities held for trading are classified as current assets. Any attributable transaction costs are recognised in the consolidated +income statement as incurred. At each balance sheet date, the fair value is remeasured, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised in the +consolidated income statement. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(n) Hedging (Continued) +(ii) Fair value hedges +A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment, +or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or unrecognised firm commitment. +The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognised in the consolidated income statement. The gain or loss +on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognised in the consolidated +income statement. +When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Group +discontinues prospectively the hedge accounting treatments. If the hedged item is a financial instrument measured at amortised cost, any +adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortised to profit or loss from the adjustment date to the maturity date using the +recalculated effective interest rate at the adjustment date. +(iii)Hedge of net investments in foreign operations +The portion of the gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value of an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation that is +determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the other reserve +until the disposal of the foreign operation, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from equity to the consolidated income +statement. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement. In this year no hedge of net investment in +foreign operations was hold by the Group. +(o) Impairment of assets +(i) Trade accounts receivable, other receivables and investment in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market +are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, an +impairment loss is determined and recognised. +The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at +the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of discounting is material, and is recognised as an expense +in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses for trade and other receivables are reversed through the consolidated income +statement if in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment losses decreases. Impairment losses for equity securities carried at cost +are not reversed. +For investments in associates and joint ventures accounted under the equity method (Note 2(a) (ii)), the impairment loss is measured by +comparing the recoverable amount of the investment as a whole with its carrying amount in accordance with the accounting policy set out +in Note 2(o) (ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable +amount in accordance with the accounting policy set out in Note 2(o) (ii). +(ii) Impairment of other long-lived assets is accounted as follows: +The carrying amounts of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, construction in progress, lease prepayments and +other assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indicators that the assets may be impaired. These assets are tested for +impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such +a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each +balance sheet date. +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +Investments in available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with any change in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income +and accumulated separately in equity in other reserves. When these investments are derecognised or impaired, the cumulative gain or loss is +reclassified from equity to the consolidated income statement. Investments in equity securities, other than investments in associates and joint +ventures, that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are recognised in the +balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(o)). +(n) Hedging +Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating +unit, or groups of cash-generating units, that is expected to benefit the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment +(Note 2(0)). In respect of associates or joint ventures, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the interest in the +associate or joint venture and the investment as a whole is tested for impairment whenever there is objective evidence of impairment (Note 2(o)). +163 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +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. +Construction in progress represents buildings, oil and gas properties, various plant and equipment under construction and pending installation, +and is stated at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(o)). 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 periods of +construction. +(i) Construction in progress +Lease prepayments represent land use rights paid to the relevant government authorities. Land use rights are carried at cost less accumulated +amount charged to expense and impairment losses (Note 2(o)). The cost of lease prepayments is charged to expense on a straight-line basis +over the respective periods of the rights. +(h) Lease prepayments +Management estimates future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties with reference to engineering estimates after taking into +consideration the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with the industry practices and the future cash flows are adjusted +to reflect such risks specific to the liability, as appropriate. These estimated future dismantlement costs are discounted at pre-tax risk-free rate +and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs of the oil and gas properties. +The Group uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities. Under this method, costs of development +wells, the related supporting equipment and proved mineral interests in properties are capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially +capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. The impairment of exploratory well +costs occurs upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. The exploratory well costs are usually not carried as an asset +for more than one year following completion of drilling, unless (i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as +a producing well if the required capital expenditure is made; (ii) drilling of the additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned for the +near future; or (iii) other activities are being undertaken to sufficiently progress the assessing of the reserves and the economic and operating +viability of the project. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, other dry hole costs and annual lease rentals, +are expensed as incurred. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes +produced and reserves. +(g) Oil and gas properties +Financial Statements (International) +Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis +between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reassessed annually. +3% +residuals rate +Estimated +usage period +12 to 50 years +4 to 30 years +Equipment, machinery and others +Buildings +Estimated +Depreciation is provided to write off the cost amount of items of property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, over its +estimated useful life on a straight-line basis, after taking into account its estimated residual value, as follows: +Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, are +determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised as income or expense +in the consolidated income statement on the date of retirement or disposal. +An item of property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (Note 2(o)). The cost +of an asset comprises its purchase price, any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition and location for its intended +use. The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when +that cost is incurred, when it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the +item can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement in the year in which it is +incurred. +(f) Property, plant and equipment +(k) Available-for-sale financial assets +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +3% +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(j) Goodwill +Goodwill represents amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. Goodwill represents the difference between the +cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. +Prior to 1 January 2008, the acquisition of the non-controlling interests of a consolidated subsidiary was accounted for using the acquisition +method whereby the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired (on a proportionate +share) was recognised as goodwill. From 1 January 2008, any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted +(such as through an acquisition of the non-controlling interests) and the cash or other considerations paid is recognised in equity. +(77) +Balance at 1 January 2016 +Net book value: +1,077,208 +(2,209) +(96) +529,191 +495,817 +52,200 +Balance at 31 December 2017 +(2,056) +(57) +(9,079) +(9,858) +63,404 +(195) +(584) +Written back on disposals +(4,225) +(2,682) +(1,305) +(238) +Reclassification to lease prepayments and other long-term assets +199 +Exchange adjustments +238,943 +Balance at 31 December 2016 +733,449 +Balance at 31 December 2017 +67,813 +171,840 +411,121 +650,774 +The additions to oil and gas properties of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2017 included RMB 1,627 million (2016: RMB 3,420 million) +of estimated dismantlement costs for site restoration (Note 32). +690,594 +174 +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +17 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS +431,102 +Balance at 1 January +Dry hole costs written off +Transferred to property, plant and equipment +Reclassification to lease prepayments and other long-term assets +Impairment losses for the year +Disposals +Exchange adjustments +2017 +409,122 +215,124 +66,348 +2016 +Additions +(122) +2017 +19,836 +Zhongtian Synergetic Energy +31 December +CIR +31 December 31 December +31 December +2017 +RMB million +2016 +RMB million +129,581 +2016 +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +SIBUR (i) +31 December +2017 +RMB million +Current assets +11,835 +161,187 +149,457 +20,719 +8,232 +7,292 +5,612 +5,120 +Non-current assets +40,972 +42,124 +11,317 +Reclassifications +2016 +RMB million +Sinopec Finance +31 December 31 December +2016 +2017 +RMB million RMB million +10,450 +8,832 +554 +Impairment losses for the year +105,717 +46,585 +55,057 +4,075 +967,947 +483,814 +435,561 +31 December +48,572 +967,947 +483,814 +435,561 +48,572 +Balance at 31 December 2016 +of the Group's principal associates: +British +Virgin Islands +The Republic of +Kazakhstan +Pipeline Ltd +31 December +2017 +RMB million +Balance at 1 January 2017 +RMB million +The Group's principal associates are as follows: +85,552 +Provision of non-banking +49.00 +Sinopec Finance Company Limited +pipelines and auxiliary +facilities +Pipeline Co., Ltd.

The PRC government, however, has moved, and may move further towards more rigorous enforcement +of applicable laws, and towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect management's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature +and extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to refineries, oil fields, service stations, terminals and land development +areas, whether operating, closed or sold, (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts, (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies, (iv) +changes in environmental remediation requirements, and (v) the identification of new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is +indeterminable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective +actions that may be required.

Net +realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated +costs necessary to make the sale. Management bases the estimates on all available information, including the current market prices of the finished +goods and raw materials, and historical operating costs. If the actual selling prices were to be lower or the costs of completion were to be higher +than estimated, the actual allowance for diminution in value of inventories could be higher than estimated. +Property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, 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 at least annually in order +to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Group's historical +experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if +there are significant changes from previous estimates. +The accounting for the exploration and production's oil and gas activities is subject to accounting rules that are unique to the oil and gas industry. +There are two methods to account for oil and gas business activities, the successful efforts method and the full cost method. The Group has elected +to use the successful efforts method. The successful efforts method reflects the volatility that is inherent in exploring for mineral resources in that +costs of unsuccessful exploratory efforts are charged to expense as they are incurred. These costs primarily include dry hole costs, seismic costs +and other exploratory costs. Under the full cost method, these costs are capitalised and written-off or depreciated over time. +If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered “impaired", and an +impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets". The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are reviewed +periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment +whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has +occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. The recoverable +amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for +the Group's assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset +or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to level of sale volume, selling price, +amount of operating costs and discount rate. 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, amount of operating costs and discount rate. +202 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Interest in joint ventures +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +40 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Fair values (Continued) +(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value +The disclosures of the fair value estimates, and their methods and assumptions of the Group's financial instruments, are made to comply +with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IAS 39 and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements and related +notes. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Group using market information and valuation methodologies considered +appropriate. However, considerable judgement is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the +estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realise in a current market exchange. The use of +different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. +The fair values of the Group's financial instruments carried at other than fair value (other than long-term indebtedness and investments in +unquoted equity securities) approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term +indebtedness are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market interest rates offered to the Group that range from 1.79% to +4.90% (2016: 1.06% to 4.90%). The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of the Group's long-term indebtedness other +than loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries at 31 December 2017 and 2016: +Carrying amount +Fair value +31 December +2017 +RMB million +79,738 +78,040 +31 December +2016 +RMB million +110,969 +109,308 +The Group has not developed an internal valuation model necessary to estimate the fair values of loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries as it is not considered practicable to estimate their fair values because the cost of obtaining discount and borrowing rates for +comparable borrowings would be excessive based on the Reorganisation, the Group's existing capital structure and the terms of the borrowings. +Investments in unquoted equity securities are individually and in the aggregate not material to the Group's financial condition or results of +operations. There are no listed market prices for such interests in the PRC and, accordingly, a reasonable estimate of fair value could not be +made without incurring excessive costs. The Group intends to hold these unquoted other investments in equity securities for long term purpose. +Except for the above items, the financial assets and liabilities of the Group are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values at +31 December 2017 and 2016. +41 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS +The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of such policies and the sensitivity of +reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the consolidated financial statements. The +significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2. Management believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant +judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +41 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +Oil and gas properties and reserves +Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the +subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be +met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as "proved". Proved and proved developed reserves estimates are updated at least +annually and take into account recent production and technical information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from +year to year, the estimate of proved and proved developed reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate for accounting +purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in relation to depreciation rates. Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on the assessment of +the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil and gas properties reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves estimates are revised +downwards, earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the property's carrying amount. +Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration the +anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in similar geographic area, including estimation of economic +life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are capitalised as oil and +gas properties with equivalent amounts recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs. +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in determining depreciation expense, impairment loss +and future dismantlement costs. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes +produced and reserves. +Impairment for long-lived assets +Depreciation +The Group's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the +preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on +various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements about matters that are not readily +apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, +circumstances and conditions change. +72,309 +Deferred tax assets +48,179 +Trade accounts receivable +37,609 +38,332 +Bills receivable +157 +471 +Dividends receivable +16,327 +5,454 +Inventories +Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss +44,933 +Prepaid expenses and other current assets +Total current assets +79,111 +76,386 +318,861 +265,835 +Current liabilities +Short-term debts +33,454 +Financial Statements (International) +Loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries +Trade accounts payable +50,574 +46,942 +10,130 +20,236 +Time deposits with financial institutions +Lease prepayments +Long-term prepayments and other assets +Total non-current assets +Current assets +329,814 +373,020 +50,046 +49,277 +245,156 +238,264 +15,579 +14,691 +14,822 +15,496 +395 +297 +6,834 +6,916 +6,114 +14,072 +14,731 +683,634 +711,890 +Cash and cash equivalents +88,120 +Available-for-sale financial assets +201 +Derivative financial instruments: +Management of the Group evaluates the fair value of Level 3 financial assets using discounted cash flow model based on the interest rate and +commodity index which were influenced by historical fluctuation and the probability of market fluctuation as input value for evaluating the fair +value of the structural deposits. +Interest rate risk +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term debts. Debts bearing interest at variable rates and at fixed +rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively. The interest rates of short-term and long-term +debts, and loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries of the Group are disclosed in Note 29. +As at 31 December 2017, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in variable interest rates, with all other variables held +constant, would decrease/increase the Group's net profit for the year by approximately RMB 450 million (2016: decrease/increase by approximately +RMB 327 million). This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change of interest rates was applied to the Group's debts +outstanding at the balance sheet date with exposure to cash flow interest rate risk. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2016. +Commodity price risk +The Group engages in oil and gas operations and is exposed to commodity price risk related to price volatility of crude oil, refined oil products and +chemical products. The fluctuations in prices of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products could have significant impact on the Group. +The Group uses derivative financial instruments, including commodity futures and swaps, to manage a portion of this risk. As at 31 December 2017, +the Group had certain commodity contracts of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products designated as qualified cash flow hedges and +economic hedges. The fair values of these derivative financial instruments as at 31 December 2017 are set out in Notes 27 and 31. +As at 31 December 2017, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of USD 10 per barrel in basic price of derivative financial instruments, +with all other variables held constant, would impact the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which would decrease/increase the Group's +profit for the period by approximately RMB 4,049 million (2016: decrease/increase RMB 634 million), and decrease/increase the Group's other +reserves by approximately RMB 701 million (2016: decrease/increase RMB 4,007 million). This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming +that the change in prices had occurred at the balance sheet date and the change was applied to the Group's derivative financial instruments at that +date with exposure to commodity price risk.

Future price changes are limited to those +provided by contractual arrangements in existence at the end of each reporting year. Future development and production costs are those estimated +future expenditures necessary to develop and produce year-end estimated proved reserves based on year-end cost indices, assuming continuation of +year-end economic conditions. Estimated future income taxes are calculated by applying appropriate year-end statutory tax rates to estimated future +pre-tax net cash flows, less the tax basis of related assets. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using 10% discount factors.

Moreover, the Company enjoys +an outstanding "Sinopec" brand name, plays +an important role in the national economy +and is a renowned and reputable company in +China. +In the course of its production and +operations, the Company will actively take +various measures to circumvent operational +risks. However, in practice, it may not be +possible to prevent the occurrence of all +risks and uncertainties described below. +BOARD COMMITTEES HAVE ISSUED REVIEW +OPINIONS WITHOUT ANY OBJECTION TO +THE BOARD WHEN PERFORMING THEIR +DUTIES DURING THE REPORT PERIOD. +Annual Report 2017 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Beijing, China, 23 March 2018 +Vice Chairman & President +Dai Houliang +By order of the Board +Currency risks: At present, China +implements an administered floating +exchange rate regime based on market +supply and demand which is regulated with +reference to a basket of currencies in terms +of the exchange rate of Renminbi. As the +Company purchases a significant portion of +crude oil in foreign currency which is based +on US dollar-denominated prices, fluctuations +in the exchange rate of Renminbi against US +dollars and certain other foreign currencies +may affect the Company's purchasing +costs of crude oil. Meanwhile, according to +domestic pricing mechanism of refined oil +products, the prices of domestic refined oil +products fluctuate with Renminbi exchange +rate, and the prices of other domestic +refined and chemical products would also be +influenced by import price. +Risks with regard to overseas business +development and management: The +Company engages in oil and gas exploration, +refining and chemical, warehouse logistics +and international trading businesses in +some regions outside China. The Company's +overseas businesses and assets are subject +to the jurisdiction of the host country's laws +and regulations. In light of the complicated +factors such as imbalance of global economy, +competitiveness of industry and trade +structure, exclusiveness of regional trading +blocs, polarisation of benefits distribution +trade, and politicisation of economic and +trade issues, including sanctions, barriers to +entry, instability in the financial and taxation +policies, contract defaults, tax dispute, the +Company's risks with regard to overseas +business development and management +could be increased. +Investment risks: Petroleum and chemical +sector is a capital intensive industry. +Although the Company adopted a prudent +investment strategy, and as required by +the new procedure and management of +investment decision-making issued in 2017, +conducted rigorous feasibility study on +each investment project, which consists of +special verifications in raw material market, +technical scheme, profitability, safety and +environmental protection, legal compliance, +etc., certain investment risks will still exist +and expected returns may not be achieved +due to major changes in factors such as +market environment, prices of equipment +and raw materials, and construction period +during the implementation of the projects. +impact resulting from such contingencies. +to natural disasters. Such contingencies +may cause serious impacts to the society, +major financial losses to the Company and +grievous injuries to people. The Company +has always been paying great emphasis on +the safety production, and has implemented +a strict HSE management system as an +effort to avoid such risks as far as possible. +Meanwhile, the main assets and inventories +of the Company as well as the possibility of +damage to a third party have been insured. +However, such measures may not shield the +Company from financial losses or adverse +and natural disasters: The process of +petroleum chemical production is exposed +to the risks of inflammation, explosion and +environmental pollution and is vulnerable +Risks with regard to the operation +of international crude oil prices and sudden +disruption of supply of crude oil from certain +regions. +Risks with regard to the external purchase +of crude oil: A significant amount of crude +oil as needed by the Company is satisfied +through external purchases. In recent years, +especially influenced by the mismatch +between supply and demand of crude oil, +geopolitics, global economic growth and +other factors, the prices of crude oil fell +sharply. Additionally, the supply of crude +oil may even be interrupted due to some +extreme major incidents in certain regions. +Although the Company has taken flexible +counter measures, it may not fully avoid risks +associated with any significant fluctuation +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +58 +Report of the Board of Directors +Report of the Board of Directors +57 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +Risks from the uncertainties of obtaining +additional oil and gas resources: The future +sustainable development of the Company +is partly dependent to a certain extent on +our abilities in continuously discovering +or acquiring additional oil and natural +gas resources. To obtain additional oil +and natural gas resources, the Company +faces some inherent risks associated with +exploration and development and/or with +acquisition activities, and the Company has +to invest a large amount of money with no +guarantee of certainty. If the Company fails +to acquire additional resources through +further exploration, development and +acquisition to increase the reserves of crude +oil and natural gas, the oil and natural gas +reserves and production of the Company +may decline overtime which may adversely +affect the Company's financial situation and +operation performance. +Risks with regard to the changes from +environmental legislation requirements: +Our production activities generate waste +liquids, gases and solids. The Company has +built up the supporting effluent treatment +systems to prevent and reduce the pollution +to the environment. However, the relevant +government authorities may issue and +implement much stricter environmental +protection laws and regulations, adopt much +stricter environment protection standards. +Under such situations, the Company +may increase expenses in relation to the +environment protection accordingly. +Risks from the macroeconomic policies +and government regulation: Although the +Chinese government is gradually liberalizing +the market entry regulations on petroleum +and petrochemicals sector, the petroleum +and petrochemical industries in China are +still subject to entry regulations to a certain +degree, which include: issuing licenses in +relation to exploration and development +of crude oil and natural gas, issuing +business licenses for trading crude oil and +refined oil, setting caps for retail prices of +gasoline, diesel and other oil products, the +imposing of the special oil income levy, +formulation of import and export quotas and +procedures, formulation of safety, quality +and environmental protection standards +and formulation of energy conservation +policies. In addition, the changes which have +occurred or might occur in macroeconomic +and industry policies such as the opening +up of crude oil import licenses, and further +improvement in pricing mechanism of refined +oil products, reforming and improvement +in pricing mechanism of natural gas, cost +supervision of gas pipeline and access to +third party, and reforming in resource tax +and environmental tax, will cause effects +on our business operations. Such changes +might further intensify market competition +and have certain effect on the operations and +profitability of the Company. +I can only counteract the adverse influences of +industry cycle to some extent. +Risks with regard to the cyclical effects +from the industry: The majority of the +Company's operating income comes +from the sales of refined oil products and +petrochemical products, and part of those +businesses and their related products are +cyclic and are sensitive to macro-economy, +cyclic changes of regional and global +economy, the changes of the production +capacity and output, demand of consumers, +prices and supply of the raw materials, as +well as prices and supply of the alternative +products etc. Although the Company is +an integrated company with upstream, +midstream and downstream operations, it +Risks with regard to the variations from +macroeconomic situation: The business +results of the Company are closely related to +China's and global economic situation. The +development of Chinese economy has entered +New Normal. Although various countries have +adopted different kinds of macroeconomic +policies to eliminate negative effects caused +by lower growth of global economy, the +turnaround of economic recovery still +remains uncertain. The Company's business +could also be adversely affected by other +factors such as the impact on export due to +trade protectionism from certain countries, +impact on import which is likely caused by +regional trade agreements, and negative +impact on the investment of overseas oil +and gas exploration and development and +refining and chemical storage projects which +results from the uncertainty of international +crude oil price and etc. +25 RISK FACTORS +14 RESERVES +Cyber-security risks: the Company devotes +significant resources to protecting our digital +infrastructure and data against cyber-attacks, +if our systems against cyber-security risk +prove to be ineffective, we could be adversely +affected by, among other things, disruptions +to our business operations, and loss of +proprietary information, including intellectual +property, financial information and employer +and customer data, injury to people, +property, environment and reputation. As +cyber-security attacks continue to evolve, +we may be required to expend additional +resources to enhance our protective +measures against cyber-security breaches. +13 FIXED ASSETS +Cash dividends (RMB/Share, tax inclusive) +For investors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (including enterprises and individuals) investing in the A Shares of Sinopec Corp. through Shanghai- +Hong Kong Stock Connect Program, the Company will withhold and pay income taxes at the rate of 10% on behalf of those investors and will +report to the tax authorities for the withholding.

work, we found the key assumptions and input data adopted +were supported by the evidence we gathered and consistent with our +expectations. +Financial Statements (PRC) +OTHER INFORMATION +Management of Sinopec Corp. is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in 2017 annual +report of Sinopec Corp. other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. +Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. +In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the +other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially +misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to +report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. +• Evaluated the sensitivity analyses prepared by the Group, and assessed +the potential impacts of a range of possible outcomes. +RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +In preparing these financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Sinopec Corp.'s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, +as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intend to liquidate Sinopec +Corp. or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. +Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing Sinopec Corp.'s financial reporting process. +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +REPORT OF THE PRC AUDITOR (CONTINUED) +AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether +due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a +guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from +fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of +users taken on the basis of these financial statements. +Management of Sinopec Corp. is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the CASS, +and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material +misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. +As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: +• Assessed the methodology adopted in, and tested mathematical +accuracy of the discounted cash flow projections. +Independently estimated a range of discount rates, and found that the +discount rates adopted by management were within the range. +Note +80 +REPORT OF THE PRC AUDITOR (CONTINUED) +The key audit matter identified in our audit is "Recoverability of the carrying amount of fixed assets related to oil and gas producing activities". +Key Audit Matter +Recoverability of the carrying amount of fixed assets related to oil and +gas producing activities +Refer to note 14 "FIXED ASSETS", note 44 “IMPAIRMENT LOSSES", and +note 55 "PRINCIPAL ACCOOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS" +to the consolidated financial statements. +• Tested selected other key data inputs, such as natural gas prices and +production profiles in the projections by reference to historical data +and/or relevant budgets of the Group. +Low crude oil prices gave rise to possible indication that the carrying +amount of fixed assets related to oil and gas producing activities as +at 31 December 2017 might be impaired. The Group has adopted +discounted future cash flow as the respective recoverable amounts of +fixed assets related to oil and gas producing activities, which involved +key estimations or assumptions including: +Because of the significance of the carrying amount of fixed assets +related to oil and gas producing activities as at 31 December 2017, +together with the use of significant estimations or assumptions in +determining their respective discounted cash flow, we had placed our +audit emphasis on this matter. +How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter +In auditing the respective discounted cash flow of fixed assets related +to oil and gas producing activities, we have performed the following key +procedures on the relevant discounted cash flow projections prepared by +management: +• Evaluated and tested the key controls, relating to the preparation of the +discounted cash flow projections of fixed assets related to oil and gas +producing activities. +• +Compared estimates of future crude oil prices adopted by the Group +against a range of reputable published crude oil price forecasts. +Compared the future production profiles against the oil and gas +reserve estimation report approved by the management. Evaluated +the competence, capability and objectivity of the management's +experts engaged in estimating the oil and gas reserves. Assessed key +estimations or assumptions used in the reserve estimation, by reference +to historical data, management plans and/or reputable external data. +Compared the future cost profiles against historical costs or relevant +budgets of the Group. +Future crude oil prices; +Future production profiles; +Future cost profiles; and +Discount rates. +20,087 +• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit +procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not +detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional +omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. +• +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +(A) +FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED UNDER CHINA ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR BUSINESS ENTERPRISES +CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET +as at 31 December 2017 +Assets +81 +Current assets +Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss +Bills receivable +Accounts receivable +Other receivables +Prepayments +Inventories +Cash at bank and on hand +• +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +Signing CPA +• +• +Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by +management. +Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether +a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Sinopec Corp.'s ability to continue as a going +concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in +these financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained +up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause Sinopec Corp. to cease to continue as a going concern. +Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements +represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. +Gao Peng +• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Sinopec Corp. to +express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. +We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. +We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, +and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, +related safeguards. +From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of +the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law +or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be +communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of +such communication. +PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP +Shanghai, the People's Republic of China +23 March 2018 +Signing CPA +Zhao Jianrong +(Engagement Partner) +We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit +findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. +20,422 +529,049 +412,261 +712,232 +126,826 +120,293 +854,070 +832.525 +1,595,504 +727,244 +1,498,609 +as at 31 December 2017 +Assets +Current assets +Cash at bank and on hand +Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss +Bills receivable +Accounts receivable +BALANCE SHEET +Other receivables +275,163 +196,640 +34 +121,071 +121,071 +35 +119,557 +119,525 +290,459 +36 +(932) +37 +888 +765 +38 +199,682 +(4,413) +666,084 +Dividends receivable +Inventories +Employee benefits payable +Taxes payable +Other payables +Note +At 31 December +2017 +RMB million +At 31 December +Advances from customers +2016 +92,545 +48,179 +157 +98,250 +88 +37,609 +471 +38,332 +9 +RMB million +Prepayments +Accounts payable +Current liabilities +Other current assets +Total current assets +Non-current assets +Available-for-sale financial assets +Long-term equity investments +Fixed assets +Bills payable +Construction in progress +Long-term deferred expenses +Deferred tax assets +Other non-current assets +Total non-current assets +Total assets +Liabilities and shareholders' equity +Intangible assets +40,189 +741,434 +161,988 +18 +14,720 +13,537 +19 +15,131 +7,214 +6,353 +20 +25,826 +1,066,455 +1,595,504 +1,086,348 +1,498,609 +222222 +23 +28,662 +24 +8,634 +85,023 +12 +1,676 +11,408 +13 +131,087 +116,812 +17 +14 +690,594 +15 +118,645 +129,581 +16 +97,126 +650,774 +180,541 +234 +30,374 +26,681 +579,446 +38,972 +485,543 +01203 +67,754 +62,461 +29 +31,370 +39,958 +39,298 +6,466 +7,661 +16,440 +16,136 +54,985 +54,701 +6,000 +2,006 +6,462 +200,073 +5,828 +174,301 +25 +120,734 +95,928 +26 +77,630 +27 +1,618 +52,886 +232 +819 +28 +6,843 +84,850 +7,162 +71,940 +2017 +Short-term loans. +RMB million +51,119 +Change for the year +832,525 +120,293 +712,232 +275,163 +196,640 +765 +(932) +119,525 +121,071 +Balance at 1 January 2017 +832,525 +120,293 +712,232 +275,163 +196,640 +153 +153 +7 +160 +9.

Green enterprise +and energy efficiency upgrading campaigns were +undertaken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions +and protect the ecological environment +and biodiversity. We also took great care in +implementing our HSSE management system +that ensures safe production and occupational +health, and protects the physical and mental +health of all employees. We made greater +efforts to implement targeted poverty alleviation +and achieved fruitful results, including poverty +alleviation programs focused on industry, +education and consumption. To benefit as many +people as possible, we actively and consistently +participated in various social welfare initiatives. +In addition, we honored the traditional and +cultural characteristics of the communities where +we operate, and regularly promoted economic +development and environmental protection in the +communities around our projects. In so doing, +we fully demonstrated our commitment to being +a responsible global corporate citizen, which +received high recognition at home and abroad. +The hard-won achievements in 2019 were +attributed to the arduous efforts and altruistic +dedication of the Company's Board of Directors, +the Board of Supervisors, the management +and the entire staff. Due to reassignment +and retirement, Mr. Dai Houliang, Mr. Li +Yunpeng, and Mr. Liu Zhongyun no longer hold +positions in the Company. During their tenure, +they worked diligently, fulfilled their duties +and contributed greatly to the Company. In +particular, Mr. Dai Houliang, former Chairman of +the Board, made outstanding contributions and +played an essential role in improving corporate +governance, advancing reforms and innovation, +and achieving sustainable growth. On behalf of +the Board of Directors, I would like to extend my +sincere gratitude to all of them! +At the beginning of 2020, the sudden outbreak +of coronavirus struck China and impacted +the global economy. Confronted with the +outbreak, President Xi Jinping attached great +importance to deploying relief actions by giving +overall instructions directly. In response to the +outbreak, the Company acted promptly and +proactively. While maintaining stable production +and operation, the Company gave full play to +its industrial advantages, exerted full force to +produce raw materials for medical and health +supplies, and cooperated with related enterprises +to produce medical supplies in urgent need, +including masks and protective suits for affected +areas. Moreover, with the advantages of our +sales network, the Company spared no effort +to guarantee the market supply of oil and gas, +innovate service models, and enable the public +to purchase articles for daily use conveniently, +thereby making our contribution to win the +battle against the virus. +Looking forward, the global economy will face +more instability and uncertainty brought by the +outbreak. Although the virus may temporarily +impact the Chinese economy, we firmly believe +that China's solid economic fundamentals +will remain unchanged and the country's +potential and momentum will remain strong. +A combination of preferential policies and +measures oriented to enterprises set out by the +Chinese government is supporting the rapid +recovery of the economy while reducing the +impact brought by the virus. We believe that as +the control and prevention of outbreak continues +to improve domestically, the domestic demand +for petroleum and petrochemical products that +was suppressed and frozen will rebound quickly. +Challenges always arise with opportunities. The +Company will continue to adhere to the overall +strategy of "making progress while maintaining +stability," and to that end will implement new +development philosophies and energy security +strategies, as well as further strengthen +corporate governance. The Company will also +continue to focus on supply-side structural +reform. Exercising comprehensive and strict +governance over the Party, coupled with the +strategy of the Talent Empowering Enterprise +Scheme, the Company will continue to leverage +its advantages of integration, aiming to realize +a development pattern with energy resources +as the backbone, clean energy and synthetic +materials as two development wings, and new +energy, new economies, and new fields as +important growth points. +The Company will continue to deepen the +reform of its systems and mechanisms, +further improve its corporate governance +system and enhance governance capabilities. +With headquarters acting as the center of +restructuring, the Company will further advance +reforms of its management system and +market-oriented operation mechanism.

As for the refining and marketing +business, the Company will closely monitor +market demand, optimize the system, promote +construction of advanced production capacity, +and fully develop the potential of the marketing +network and improve the quality of operations. +In terms of the chemicals business, the +Company will accelerate the supply of high-end +synthetic materials, develop a more competitive +and advantageous basic chemical product +chain and improve marketing services and +efficiency, by ways of focusing on technological +progress and extending the production chain, +etc.Additionally, the Company will accelerate +key research on core technologies, enhance the +capability of proprietary innovation, speed up +low-carbon transformation, and improve the +efficiency of energy conversion to reduce carbon +emissions, which we expect will give rise to a +core competency in green development. In 2020, +the planned capital expenditure of the Company +amounts to RMB 143.4 billion. +Only with great courage, ambition and +momentum can a company strive and thrive. +Sinopec Corp. is endowed with a complete +industrial chain, and its integrated competitive +advantages are clear, especially in the +Company's strong market presence, branding, +capital resources, and human talent. I firmly +believe that with the concerted efforts of our +Board of Directors, management and entire +staff, as well as support from our shareholders +and the community, Sinopec Corp. will surely +develop in distinct ways that are more efficient +and of higher quality, which in turn will +create greater value for shareholders and the +community. +Zhang Yuzhuo +Chairman +Beijing, China +27 March 2020 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +9 +Quality improved in stable operation.

estimated useful life is finite, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and provision +for impairment losses (see Note 3(12)). For an intangible asset with finite useful life, its cost less estimated residual value and accumulated +impairment losses is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives, unless the intangible assets are classified as held for sale. +Equity instruments +The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for +selling the financial assets, the contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending +arrangements. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of +impairment gains or losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income calculated using the effective interest rate method, +which are recognised in profit or loss. The financial assets include receivables financing. +Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: +The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows. The contractual +cash flow characteristics are to give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the +principal amount outstanding. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The +financial assets include cash at bank and on hand and receivables. +Measured at amortised cost: +The debt instruments held by the Group refer to the instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities from the perspective of the +issuer, and are measured in the following ways: +Debt instruments +Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant +transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The transaction costs for other financial assets are included in the initially recognised +amount. However, accounts receivable or bills receivable arising from sales of goods or rendering services, without significant financing +component, are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Group. +The Group classifies financial assets into different categories depending on the business model for managing the financial assets and the +contractual terms of cash flows of the financial assets: (1) financial assets measured at amortised cost, (2) financial assets measured at +fair value through other comprehensive income, (3) financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. A contractual cash flow +characteristic which could have only a de minimis effect, or could have an effect that is more than de minimis but is not genuine, does +not affect the classification of the financial asset. +(i) Classification and measurement +(a) Financial assets +Financial instruments, refer to the contracts that form one party's financial assets and form the financial liabilities or equity instruments of the +other party. The Group recognises a financial asset or a financial liability when the Group enters into and becomes a party to the underlining +contract of the financial instrument. +(11) Financial Instruments +Goodwill is not amortised and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see Note 3(12)). On disposal of an asset group or a set of +asset groups, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is written off and included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal. +The initial cost of goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets +of the acquiree under the business combination involving entities not under common control. +(10) Goodwill +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +Equity instruments that the Group has no power to control, jointly control or exercise significant influence over, are measured at fair value +through profit or loss and presented as financial assets held for trading. +In addition, the Group designates some equity instruments that are not held for trading as financial assets at fair value through other +comprehensive income, and presented in other equity instrument investments. The relevant dividends of these financial assets are +recognised in profit or loss. When derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is +transferred to retained earnings. +(ii) Impairment +The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost and receivables +financing measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. +On derecognition of other equity instrument investments, the difference between the carrying amounts and the sum of the consideration +received and any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income, is recognised in retained earnings. While +on derecognition of other financial assets, this difference is recognised in profit or loss. +The Group derecognises a financial asset when a) the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset expires; b) the Group +transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; c) the financial assets have +been transferred and the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but +the Group has not retained control. +The Group recognises the loss allowance accrued or written back in profit or loss. +(iii) Derecognition +For accounts receivable, bills receivable and receivables financing related to revenue, the Group measures the loss allowance at an +amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. +For financial instruments on the first stage and the second stage, and that have low credit risk, the Group calculates interest income +according to carrying amount without deducting the impairment allowance and effective interest rate. For financial instruments on the +third stage, interest income is calculated according to the carrying amount minus amortised cost after the provision of impairment +allowance and effective interest rate. +For financial instruments that have low credit risk at the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that there is no significant increase in +credit risk since the initial recognition, and measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. +(ii) Impairment (Continued) +(a) Financial assets (Continued) +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +96 +Financial Statements (PRC) +95 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +The Group measures the expected credit losses of financial instruments on different stages at each balance sheet date. For financial +instruments that have no significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition, on first stage, the Group measures the loss +allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the initial +recognition of a financial instrument but credit impairment has not occurred, on second stage, the Group recognises a loss allowance +at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. If credit impairment has occurred since the initial recognition of a financial +instrument, on third stage, the Group recognises a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. +The Group measures and recognises expected credit losses, considering reasonable and supportable information about the relevant past +events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +94 +94 +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +93 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +When the Group leases self-owned plants and buildings, equipment and machinery, lease income from an operating lease is recognised on a +straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The Group recognises variable lease income which is based on a certain percentage of sales +as rental income when occurred. +A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. An operating lease is a +lease other than a finance lease. +(b) As Lessor +Payments associated with short-term leases with lease terms within 12 months and leases for which the underlying assets are individually +of low value when it is new are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an expense in profit or loss or as cost of relevant +assets, instead of recognising right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. +Right-of-use assets of the Group mainly comprise land. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which comprises the amount of the initial +measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs incurred by the +lessee, less any lease incentives received. The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the +lease term on a straight-line basis. When the recoverable amount of a right-of-use asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount +is reduced to the recoverable amount. +The Group recognises a right-of-use asset at the commencement date, and recognises the lease liability at the present value of the lease +payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments include fixed payments, the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is +reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the Group exercising +that option, etc. Variable payments that are based on a percentage of sales are not included in the lease payments, and should be recognised +in profit or loss when incurred. Lease liabilities to be paid within one year (including one year) from balance sheet date is presented in non- +current liabilities due within one year. +A lease is a contract that a lessor transfers the right to use an identified asset for a period of time to a lessee in exchange for consideration. +(a) As Lessee +The impairment assessment and provision accrual on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are stated in Note 3(12). +(6) Leases +(c) The impairment assessment method and provision accrual on investment +The Group discontinues recognising its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment +and any long-term interest that is in substance forms part of the Group's net investment in the associate or the joint venture is reduced to +zero, except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to assume additional losses. However, if the Group has incurred obligations for +additional losses and the conditions on recognition of provision are satisfied in accordance with the accounting standard on contingencies, +the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provision. Where net profits are subsequently made by the associate or joint +venture, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. +The Group adjusts the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment for changes in owners' equity of the investee other than those +arising from net profits or losses and other comprehensive income, and recognises the corresponding adjustment in capital reserve. +The Group recognises its share of the investee's net profits or losses after making appropriate adjustments to align the accounting policies +or accounting periods with those of the Group based on the fair values of the investee's net identifiable assets at the time of acquisition. +Under the equity accounting method, unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates or joint +ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates or joint ventures. Unrealised losses resulting from transactions +between the Group and its associates or joint ventures are fully recognised in the event that there is an evidence of impairment. +After the acquisition of the investment, the Group recognises its share of the investee's net profits or losses and other comprehensive income +as investment income or losses and other comprehensive income, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. Once the +investee declares any cash dividends or profits distributions, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced by that attributable to the +Group. +(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates (Continued) +(5) Long-term equity investments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(b) Financial liabilities +(7) Fixed assets and construction in progress +Fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 3(12)). Construction in +progress is stated in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (see Note 3(12)). +Useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortised when there is no foreseeable limit to the year over which +the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Group. +Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes produced and reserves. +(9) Intangible assets +The Group estimates future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration +the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with the industry practices. These estimated future dismantlement costs are +discounted at credit-adjusted risk-free rate and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs +of the oil and gas properties. +The acquisition cost of mineral interest is capitalised as oil and gas properties. Costs of development wells and related support equipment are +capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found +proved reserves. Exploratory well costs are charged to expenses upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. However, +in the absence of a determination of the discovery of proved reserves, exploratory well costs are not carried as an asset for more than one +year following completion of drilling. If, after one year has passed, a determination of the discovery of proved reserves cannot be made, the +exploratory well costs are impaired and charged to expense. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are charged +to profit or loss in the year as incurred. +Oil and gas properties include the mineral interests in properties, wells and related support equipment arising from oil and gas exploration and +production activities. +(8) Oil and gas properties +Useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +Equipment, machinery and others +Plants and buildings +Financial Statements (PRC) +3% +Estimated Estimated rate +useful life of residual value +12.50 years +3% +4-30 years +Other than oil and gas properties, the cost of fixed assets less residual value and accumulated impairment losses is depreciated using the +straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, unless the fixed asset is classified as held for sale. The estimated useful lives and the +estimated rate of residual values adopted for respective classes of fixed assets are as follows: +The Group terminates the recognition of an item of fixed asset when it is in a state of disposal or it is estimated that it is unable to generate +any economic benefits through use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of fixed asset are determined +as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of +retirement or disposal. +The subsequent costs including the cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets are recognised in the carrying amount of the item if the +recognition criteria are satisfied, and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of fixed +assets are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. +Where the individual component parts of an item of fixed asset have different useful lives or provide benefits to the Group in different patterns +thus necessitating use of different depreciation rates or methods, each part is recognised as a separate fixed asset. +Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the asset is ready for its intended use. No depreciation is provided against +construction in progress. +The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset +to working condition for its intended use. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, capitalised borrowing +costs (see Note 3(19)), and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. According to legal +or contractual obligations, costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which the related assets located are included in +the initial cost. +Fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the Group using in the production of goods, rendering of services and for operation and +administrative purposes with useful life over one year. +The Group, at initial recognition, classifies financial liabilities as either financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost or +financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. +The Group's financial liabilities are mainly financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including bills payable, accounts payable, other +payables, loans and debentures payable, etc. These financial liabilities are initially measured at the amount of their fair value after deducting +transaction costs and use the effective interest rate method for subsequent measurement. +Where the present obligations of financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the Group derecognises these financial liabilities +or discharged parts of obligations. The differences between the carrying amounts and the consideration received are recognised in profit or +loss. +The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. If it is unlikely to obtain sufficient taxable income to offset +against the benefit of deferred tax asset, the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets is written down. Any such write-down should be +subsequently reversed where it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available. +At the balance sheet date, the amounts of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the +carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates that are expected to be applied in the period when the asset is recovered or the +liability is settled in accordance with tax laws. +(15) Income tax (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Temporary differences arise in a transaction, which is not a business combination, and at the time of transaction, does not affect accounting +profit or taxable profit (or unused tax losses), will not result in deferred tax. Temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill +will not result in deferred tax. +At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if all the following conditions are met: +Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised based on deductible temporary differences and taxable temporary differences respectively. +Temporary difference is the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Unused tax losses and unused +tax credits able to be utilised in subsequent years are treated as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it +is probable that future taxable income will be available to offset the deductible temporary differences. +Current tax is the expected tax payable calculated at the applicable tax rate on taxable income for the year, plus any adjustment to tax payable +in respect of previous years. +Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to business combinations and items recognised +directly in equity (including other comprehensive income). +(15) Income tax +When the Group terminates the employment relationship with employees before the employment contracts expire, or provides compensation +as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, a provision for the termination benefits provided is recognised in profit +or loss under the conditions of both the Group has a formal plan for the termination of employment or has made an offer to employees for +voluntary redundancy, which will be implemented shortly; and the Group is not allowed to withdraw from termination plan or redundancy +offer unilaterally. +(c) Termination benefits +Employees of the Group participate in the social insurance system established and managed by local labor and social security department. +The Group makes basic pension insurance to the local social insurance agencies every month, at the applicable benchmarks and rates +stipulated by the government for the benefits of its employees. After the employees retire, the local labor and social security department has +obligations to pay them the basic pension. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group +shall recognise the accrued amount according to the above social security provisions as a liability and charge to the cost of an asset or to +profit or loss in the same period. +Basic pension insurance +The Group classifies post-employment benefits into either Defined Contribution Plan (DC plan) or Defined Benefit Plan (DB plan). DC plan +means the Group only contributes a fixed amount to an independent fund and no longer bears other payment obligation; DB plan is post- +employment benefits other than DC plan. In this reporting period, the post-employment benefits of the Group primarily comprise basic +pension insurance and unemployment insurance and both of them are DC plans. +At the balance sheet date, current tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set them off and also intends +either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. +the taxable entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities; and +they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either: +the same taxable entity; or +Financial Statements (PRC) +99 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +Except for the above, other borrowing costs are recognised as financial expenses in the income statement when incurred. +Borrowing costs incurred on borrowings for the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets are capitalised into the cost of the +related assets in the capitalisable period. +(19) Borrowing costs +Government grants received in relation to assets are recorded as deferred income, and recognised evenly in profit or loss over the assets' +useful lives. Government grants received in relation to revenue are recorded as deferred income, and recognised as income in future periods as +compensation when the associated future expenses or losses arise; or directly recognised as income in the current period as compensation for +past expenses or losses. +Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and the Group is able to comply with +the conditions attaching to them. Government grants in the form of monetary assets are recorded based on the amount received or receivable, +whereas non-monetary assets are measured at fair value. +Government grants are the gratuitous monetary assets or non-monetary assets that the Group receives from the government, excluding capital +injection by the government as an investor. Special funds such as investment grants allocated by the government, if clearly defined in official +documents as part of "capital reserve" are dealt with as capital contributions, and not regarded as government grants. +(18) Government grants +Sales are recognised when control of the goods have transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Advance from +customers but goods not yet delivered is recorded as contract liabilities and is recognised as revenues when a customer obtains control over the +relevant goods. +Sales of goods +The Group sells crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and chemical products, etc. Revenue is recognised according to the expected consideration +amount, when a customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. To determine whether a customer obtains control of a promised +asset, the Group shall consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the Group has a present right to +payment for the asset; the Group has transferred physical possession of the asset to the customer; the customer has the significant risks and +rewards of ownership of the asset; the customer has accepted the asset. +Revenue arises in the course of the Group's ordinary activities, and increases in economic benefits in the form of inflows that result in an +increase in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants. +(17) Revenue recognition +Provisions for future dismantlement costs are initially recognised based on the present value of the future costs expected to be incurred in +respect of the Group's expected dismantlement and abandonment costs at the end of related oil and gas exploration and development activities. +Any subsequent change in the present value of the estimated costs, other than the change due to passage of time which is regarded as interest +costs, is reflected as an adjustment to the provision of oil and gas properties. +Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a contingent event, it is probable that an outflow of economic +benefits will be required to settle the obligations and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the effect of time value of money is material, +provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows. +(16) Provisions +different taxable entities which either to intend to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and +settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to +be settled or recovered. +(b) Post-employment benefits +Short term compensation includes salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee benefits, medical insurance premiums, work- +related injury insurance premium, maternity insurance premium, contributions to housing fund, unions and education fund and short-term +absence with payment etc. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group shall recognise the +short term compensation actually incurred as a liability and charge to the cost of an asset or to profit or loss in the same period, and non- +monetary benefits are valued with the fair value. +(a) Short term compensation +Employee benefits are all forms of considerations and compensation given in exchange for services rendered by employees, including short term +compensation, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long term employee benefits. +Cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with all, or a +component of, a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable-rate debt) or a highly probable +forecast transaction, and could affect profit or loss. As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, +the hedging relationship shall be accounted for as follows: +Cash flow hedges +(3) The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually +hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. However, that +designation shall not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument. +(2) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. +(1) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which share a risk and that gives rise to opposite +changes in fair value that tend to offset each other. +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +(d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in cash flows are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged +item. +Hedged items are the items that expose the Group to risks of changes in future cash flows and that are designated as being hedged and that +must be reliably measurable. The Group's hedged items include a forecast transaction that is settled with an undetermined future market +price and exposes the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, etc. +Hedge accounting is a method which recognises the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the hedging instrument +and the hedged item in the same accounting period, to represent the effect of risk management activities. +Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At each balance sheet date, the fair value is remeasured.

The amount +by which the carrying amount is reduced is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. A provision for impairment loss of the asset +is recognised accordingly. Impairment losses related to an asset unit or a set of asset units first reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill +allocated to the asset unit or set of asset units, and then reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the asset unit or set of asset units on +a pro rata basis. However, the carrying amount of an impaired asset will not be reduced below the highest of its individual fair value less costs +to sell (if determinable), the present value of expected future cash flows (if determinable) and zero. +Fair value less costs to sell of an asset is based on its selling price in an arm's length transaction less any direct costs attributable to the +disposal.

An asset unit comprises related assets that generate associated cash inflows. In identifying an asset unit, the Group primarily +considers whether the asset unit is able to generate cash inflows independently as well as the management style of production and operational +activities, and the decision for the use or disposal of asset. +Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The +recoverable amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain useful lives are estimated annually no matter there are any indications of +impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment together with related asset units or groups of asset units. +(12) Impairment of other non-financial long-term assets +When the hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting (ie +the entity no longer pursues that risk management objective), or when a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, +or there is no longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument or the effect of credit risk starts +to dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the +Group discontinues prospectively the hedge accounting treatments.

If the hedged future cash flows +are no longer expected to occur, that amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a +reclassification adjustment. A hedged future cash flow that is no longer highly probable to occur may still be expected to occur, if the +hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur, that amount shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve and shall be accounted +for as cash flow hedges. +If the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that +loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, the Group immediately reclassify the amount that is not expected to be +recovered into profit or loss. +The cumulative change in present value of the expected future cash flows on the hedged item from inception of the hedge. +The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. +The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an ineffective hedge is recognised in profit or loss. +If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged +forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge +accounting is applied, the entity shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and include it directly in the initial cost +or other carrying amount of the asset or the liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and hence it does not affect other +comprehensive income. +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date for indications that the following assets, including fixed +assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, goodwill, intangible assets and investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures +may be impaired. +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +The unrealised profit or loss arising from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries is eliminated in full against the net profit +attributed to shareholders; the unrealised profit or loss from the sale of assets by subsidiaries to the Company is eliminated according to the +distribution ratio between shareholders of the parent company and minority interests. For sale of assets that occurred between subsidiaries, +the unrealised gains and losses is eliminated according to the distribution ratio for its subsidiaries seller between net profit attributable to +shareholders of the parent company and minority interests. +Where the accounting policies and accounting period adopted by the subsidiaries are different from those adopted by the Company, +adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements according to the Company's accounting policies and accounting period. Intra- +group balances and transactions, and any unrealised profit or loss arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the +consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised +gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. +The excess of the loss attributable to the minority interests during the period over the minority interests' share of the equity at the beginning +of the reporting period is deducted from minority interests. +Minority interest is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity. Net profit or loss attributable to +minority shareholders is presented separately in the consolidated income statement below the net profit line item. +Where control of a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal of the equity investment held in a subsidiary, or any other reasons, the Group +derecognises assets, liabilities, minority interests and other equity items related to the subsidiary. The remaining equity investment is +remeasured to fair value at the date in which control is lost. The sum of consideration received from disposal of equity investment and the +fair value of the remaining equity investment, net of the fair value of the Group's previous share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets +recorded from the acquisition date, is recognised in investment income in the period in which control is lost. Other comprehensive income +related to the previous equity investment in the subsidiary, is transferred to investment income when control is lost. Other comprehensive +income related to the equity investment of the original subsidiary shall be converted into the current investment income in the event of loss +of control. +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements (Continued) +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +In a business combination involving entities not under common control achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity +interest in the acquiree on the acquisition date. The difference between the fair value and the net book value is recognised as investment +income for the year. If other comprehensive income was recognised regarding the equity interest previously held in the acquiree before the +acquisition date, the relevant other comprehensive income is transferred to investment income in the period in which the acquisition occurs. +Where the Company acquired a minority interest from a subsidiary's minority shareholders, the difference between the investment cost and +the newly acquired interest into the subsidiary's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date is adjusted to the capital reserve (capital +surplus) in the consolidated balance sheet. Where the Company partially disposed an investment of a subsidiary that do not result in a loss +of control, the difference between the proceeds and the corresponding share of the interest into the subsidiary is adjusted to the capital +reserve (capital surplus) in the consolidated balance sheet. If the credit balance of capital reserve (capital surplus) is insufficient, any excess +is adjusted to retained profits. +Where the Company acquires a subsidiary during the reporting year through a business combination involving entities not under common +control, the identifiable assets, liabilities and results of operations of the subsidiaries are consolidated into consolidated financial statements +from the date that control commences, based on the fair value of those identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. +Where the Company combines a subsidiary during the reporting period through a business combination involving entities under common +control, the financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements as if the combination had occurred at +the beginning of the earliest comparative year presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established. Therefore the opening +balances and the comparative figures of the consolidated financial statements are restated. In the preparation of the consolidated financial +statements, the subsidiary's assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated +income statement, respectively, based on their carrying amounts in the subsidiary's financial statements, from the date that common control +was established. +The scope of consolidated financial statements is based on control and the consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its +subsidiaries. Control means an entity 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. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial +statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements +(b) Business combination involving entities not under common control +A business combination involving entities or businesses under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining +entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that +control is not transitory.

The difference between the carrying amount of the acquired net assets and the carrying amount of the +consideration paid for the acquisition (or the total nominal value of shares issued) is recognised in the share premium of capital reserve, or +the retained earnings in case of any shortfall in the share premium of capital reserve. Any costs directly attributable to the combination shall +be recognised in profit or loss for the current period when occurred. The expense incurred for equity securities and debt securities issued as +the consideration of the combination is recognised in the initial cost of the securities.

Difference +between the consideration paid by the Group as the acquirer, comprises of the aggregate of the fair value at the acquisition date of assets +given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree, and the Group's +interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recognised as goodwill (Note 3(10)) if it is an excess, otherwise in +the profit or loss. The expense incurred for equity securities and debt securities issued as the consideration of the combination is recognised +in the initial cost of the securities. Any other expense directly attributable to the business combination is recognised in the profit or loss +for the year. The difference between the fair value and the book value of the assets given is recognised in profit or loss. The acquiree's +identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, if satisfying the recognition criteria, are recognised by the Group at their fair value at +the acquisition date. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree. +The assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The equity +items, excluding "Retained earnings", are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates at the transaction dates. The income and expenses +of foreign operation are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates or an exchange rate that approximates the spot exchange rates on +the transaction dates. The resulting exchange differences are separately presented as other comprehensive income in the balance sheet within +equity. Upon disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognised in which relate to that foreign +operation is transferred to profit or loss in the year in which the disposal occurs. +Where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group's interest in the fair value of the investee's identifiable +net assets at the date of acquisition, the investment is initially recognised at the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is +less than the Group's interest in the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the investment is initially +recognised at the investor's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets, and the difference is charged to profit or loss. +Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the PBOC rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences, except for those directly +related to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets, are recognised as income or expenses in the income statement. Non- +monetary items denominated in foreign currency measured at historical cost are not translated. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign +currency that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The difference +between the translated amount and the original currency amount is recognised as other comprehensive income, if it is classified as other equity +instrument investments; or charged to the income statement if it is measured at fair value through profit or loss. +The Group's accounting treatments when adopting the equity method include: +The initial cost of investment in joint ventures and associates is stated at the consideration paid except for cash dividends or profits +distributions declared but unpaid at the time of acquisition and therefore included in the consideration paid should be deducted if the +investment is made in cash. Under the circumstances that the long-term investment is obtained through non-monetary asset exchange, the +initial cost of the investment is stated at the fair value of the assets exchanged if the transaction has commercial substance, the difference +between the fair value of the assets exchanged and its carrying amount is charged to profit or loss; or stated at the carrying amount of the +assets exchanged if the transaction lacks commercial substance. +An investment in a joint ventures or an associate is accounted for using the equity method, unless the investment is classified as held for +sale. +An associate is the investee that the Group has significant influence on their financial and operating policies. Significant influence represents +the right to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over the establishment +of these policies. The Group generally considers the following circumstances in determining whether it can exercise significant influence +over the investee: whether there is representative appointed to the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee; whether +to participate in the investee's policy-making process; whether there are significant transactions with the investees; whether there is +management personnel sent to the investee; whether to provide critical technical information to the investee. +A joint venture is an incorporated entity over which the Group, based on legal form, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances, +has joint control with the other parties to the joint venture and rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually +agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of +the Group and the parties sharing control. +(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates +For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial +investment cost comprises the aggregate of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued +by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquiree. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not +involving enterprises under common control, if it is achieved in stages, the initial cost comprises the carrying value of previously-held equity +investment in the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date, and the additional investment cost at the acquisition date. +The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination involving entities under common +control is the Company's share of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's equity at the combination date. The difference between the initial +investment cost and the carrying amounts of the consideration given is adjusted to share premium in capital reserve. If the balance of the +share premium is insufficient, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. +In the Company's separate financial statements, long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method. +Except for cash dividends or profits distributions declared but not yet distributed that have been included in the price or consideration paid +in obtaining the investments, the Company recognises its share of the cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee as +investment income irrespective of whether these represent the net profit realised by the investee before or after the investment. Investments +in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (see Note 3(12)) in the balance sheet. At initial recognition, such investments are +measured as follows: +(a) Investment in subsidiaries +(5) Long-term equity investments +Inventories are recorded by perpetual method. +Inventories include raw materials, work in progress, semi-finished goods, finished goods and reusable materials. Reusable materials include +low-value consumables, packaging materials and other materials, which can be used repeatedly but do not meet the definition of fixed assets. +Reusable materials are amortised in full when received for use. The amounts of the amortisation are included in the cost of the related assets or +profit or loss. +An investment in a subsidiary acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially recognised at actual purchase cost if the +Group acquires the investment by cash, or at the fair value of the equity securities issued if an investment is acquired by issuing equity +securities, or at the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement if an investment is contributed by investors. +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, short-term and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into +known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. +(3) Cash and cash equivalents +(4) Inventories (Continued) +(4) Inventories +Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost includes the cost of purchase and processing, and other expenditures incurred in bringing the +inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of inventories is mainly calculated using the weighted average method. In addition to +the cost of purchase of raw material, work in progress and finished goods include direct labour and an appropriate allocation of manufacturing +overhead costs. +At the balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +91 +Any excess of the cost over the net realisable value of each item of inventories is recognised as a provision for diminution in the value of +inventories. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the +estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. The net realisable value of materials held for use in the production is measured +based on the net realisable value of the finished goods in which they will be incorporated. The net realisable value of the quantity of inventory +held to satisfy sales or service contracts is measured based on the contract price. If the quantities held by the Group are more than the +quantities of inventories specified in sales contracts, the net realisable value of the excess portion of inventories is measured based on general +selling prices. +Financial Statements (PRC) +92 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +12.8 +Amount +The Company +At 31 December 2019 +10 +At 31 December 2018 +15380 +Percentage +to total +prepayments +RMB million +Percentage +prepayments +Allowance +balance +%% +70 +RMB million +8.3 +Amount +RMB million +% +Percentage of +allowance to +22.5 +1.0 +8030 +Between two and three years +to total +prepayments +33 +0.6 +5 +15.2 +60 +Over three years +Total +119 +2.3 +49 +41.2 +78 +1.3 +5,146 +100.0 +80 +5,990 +100.0 +8503 +Percentage of +allowance to +prepayments +85 +balance +1.4 +1 +2.8 +Over three years +Total +2.8 +3.2 +3 +36 +3.5 +3.2 +3 +3.7 +2,671 +100.0 +6 +2,493 +100.0 +81 +5.1 +2 +1.5 +% +RMB million +0% +Within one year +Between one and two years +Between two and three years +2,424 +90.7 +2,306 +92.6 +123 +4.6 +1 +0.8 +70 +2.8 +1 +1.4 +39 +Allowance +94.9 +At 31 December +2018 +RMB million +4.4 +At 31 December +2019 +9,878 +17.4% +2018 +15,699 +27.3% +Sales are generally on a cash term.

distribution segment of RMB 52 million (2018: RMB 254 million), the +chemicals segment of RMB 4 million (2018: RMB 1,252 million) and the exploration and production ("E&P") segment of RMB 0 million (2018: +RMB 4,274 million). The primary factor resulting in the E&P segment impairment loss in the prior year was downward revision of oil and gas +reserve in certain fields. Exploration and production ("E&P") segment determines recoverable amounts of fixed assets relating to oil and gas +producing activities include significant judgments and assumptions. The recoverable amounts were determined based on the present values of +the expected future cash flows of the assets using a pre-tax discount rate 10.47% (2018: 10.47%). Further future downward revisions to the +Group's oil price outlook would lead to further impairments which, in aggregate, are likely to be material. It is estimated that a general decrease +of 5% in oil price, with all other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment loss in Group's fixed assets relating to oil and +gas producing activities by approximately RMB 184 million (2018: RMB 312 million). It is estimated that a general increase of 5% in operating +cost, with all other variables held constant, would result additional impairment loss in Group's fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing +activities by approximately RMB 180 million (2018: RMB 315 million). It is estimated that a general increase of 5% in discount rate, with all +other variables held constant, would result additional impairment loss in Group's fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing activities by +approximately RMB 7 million (2018: less RMB 5 million). +The additions to oil and gas properties of the Group and the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019 included RMB 1,408 million (2018: +RMB 1,567 million) (Note 34) and RMB 1,131 million (2018: RMB 1,292 million), respectively of the estimated dismantlement costs for site +restoration. +(i) In 2019, the total amount transferred to subsidiaries is RMB 10,838 million, which is mainly caused by Sinopec Wuhan Petrochemical +Branch transferring its fixed assets related to refining production to its subsidiary Sinopec-SK (Wuhan) Petrochemical Company Limited +("Sinopec-SK"). The original cost of transferred fixed assets is RMB 9,122 million, the depreciation is RMB 5,537 million, the impairment is +RMB 22 million, and the total net book value of transferred fixed assets is RMB 3,563 million. +(194) +(1,132) +(129) +1,795 +37,383 +(1,381) +20,842 +Provision for impairment losses: +(1,510) +Balance at 31 December 2018 +22,973 +23,778 +114,845 +119,067 +153,726 +159,203 +291,544 +302,048 +60,020 +(914) +Balance at 1 January 2019 +Decreases for the year +413 +1,844 +16 +413 +60,906 +1,854 +135 +(161) +175,326 +17 +(1,130) +(10,086) +(44,915) +(91,845) +(5,432) +(5,831) +(903) +(163) +(115) +Exchange adjustments +Balance at 31 December 2019 +Net book value: +Balance at 31 December 2019 +Balance at 31 December 2018 +At 31 December 2019, major construction projects of the Group are as follows: +Additions for the year +The Group +RMB million +RMB million +138,817 +52,011 +144,369 +61,438 +The Company +715 +(24) +174 +112 +Transferred from subsidiaries +(197) +(43) +240 +Reclassifications +726,780 +51,500 +20,904 +29,069 +1,527 +Additions for the year +286,038 +417,573 +23,169 +Balance at 1 January 2019 +Accumulated depreciation: +1,119,554 +(637) +262 +1,777 +(629) +(1,458) +(8,751) +1,530 +2,039 +(10,838) +(8) +(8,341) +(9,536) +49,000 +598,304 +472,250 +(1,187) +240 +1,642 +(325) +66 +129 +127 +2 +Balance at 31 December 2019 +Net book value: +Balance at 31 December 2019 +Decreases for the year +Transferred to subsidiaries (i) +Transferred from subsidiaries +Reclassifications +Additions for the year +62,293 +22,116 +38,297 +1,880 +Balance at 1 January 2019 +(521) +(5,270) +(6,116) +Decreases for the year +(491) +(2) +Transferred to subsidiaries (i) +(5,323) +Balance at 31 December 2019 +24,232 +446,076 +297,682 +767,990 +Provision for impairment losses: +(5,816) +Manufacturing of intermediate petrochemical +products and petroleum products +3,929 +Other units without individual significant goodwill +Total +300 +5,465 +27,304 +2,709 +3,061 +321 +6.9762 +2,236 +3,319 +6.8632 +22,780 +553 +3 +0.8958 +7.8155 +495 +1,645 +0.8762 +1,441 +At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, the Group had no individually significant accounts payable aged over one year. +25 ACCOUNTS PAYABLE +At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, the Group had no overdue unpaid bills. +Bills payable primarily represented bank accepted bills for the purchase of material, goods and products.

The Group regularly monitors and reviews the assumptions used for estimating +expected credit losses. +(d) Measurement of expected credit losses +Fixed assets 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 at least annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense +to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Group's historical experience with similar assets and taking into +account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous +estimates. +If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered “impaired", and +an impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with "CASS 8 - Impairment of Assets". The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are +reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for +impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a +decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. The +recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of expected future cash flows. It is difficult to precisely +estimate the fair value because quoted market prices for the Group's assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining +the value of expected future cash flows, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present +value, which requires significant judgement relating to sales volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rate. The Group uses +all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based +on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rate. +(c) Depreciation +(b) Impairment for assets +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in determining depreciation expense, impairment +expense and future dismantlement costs. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based +on volumes produced and reserves. +Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration +the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in the similar geographic area, including estimation +of economic life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are +capitalised as oil and gas properties with equivalent amounts recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs. +Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the +subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have +to be met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as “proved". Proved and proved developed reserves estimates are updated +at least annually and take into account recent production and technical information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels +change from year to year, the estimate of proved and proved developed reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate +for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in related depreciation rates. Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on +the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil and gas properties reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves +estimates are revised downwards, the Group's earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the +carrying amount of oil and properties. +The accounting for the exploration and production segment's oil and gas activities is subject to accounting rules that are unique to the oil and +gas industry. The Group has used the successful efforts method to account for oil and gas business activities. The successful efforts method +reflects the volatility that is inherent in exploring for mineral resources in that costs of unsuccessful exploratory efforts are charged to expense. +These costs primarily include dry hole costs, seismic costs and other exploratory costs. +(a) Oil and gas properties and reserves +The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of +reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the financial statements. The significant +accounting policies are set forth in Note 3. The Group believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and +estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. +The Group's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the +preparation of the financial statements. The Group bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions +that it believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. +On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, circumstances and conditions +change. +56 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +131 +5,337 +Accounts receivable +Current liabilities +At 31 December +2018 +At 31 December +2019 +Estimated future annual payments are as follows: +The Group is required to make payments of exploration license fees and production right usage fees to the Ministry of Natural Resources annually +which are expensed. Expenses recognised were approximately RMB 179 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 (2018: RMB 231 million). +Exploration licenses for exploration activities are registered with the Ministry of Natural Resources. The maximum term of the Group's exploration +licenses is 7 years, and may be renewed twice within 30 days prior to expiration of the original term with each renewal being for a two-year term. +The Group is obligated to make progressive annual minimum exploration investment relating to the exploration blocks in respect of which the license +is issued. The Ministry of Natural Resources also issues production licenses to the Group on the basis of the reserve reports approved by relevant +authorities. The maximum term of a full production license is 30 years unless a special dispensation is given by the State Council. The maximum +term of the production licenses issued to the Group is 80 years as a special dispensation was given to the Group by the State Council.

The reportable segments are each managed separately because they manufacture and/ +or distribute distinct products with different production processes and due to their distinct operating and gross margin characteristics. +(v) Corporate and others - which largely comprise the trading activities of the import and export companies of the Group and research and +development undertaken by other subsidiaries. +(iv) Chemicals which manufactures and sells petrochemical products, derivative petrochemical products and other chemical products to external +customers. +(iii) Marketing and distribution - which owns and operates oil depots and service stations in the PRC, and distributes and sells refined petroleum +products (mainly gasoline and diesel) in the PRC through wholesale and retail sales networks. +(ii) Refining - which processes and purifies crude oil, which is sourced from the exploration and production segment of the Group and external +suppliers, and manufactures and sells petroleum products to the chemicals and marketing and distribution segments of the Group and external +customers. +(i) Exploration and production - which explores and develops oil fields, produces crude oil and natural gas and sells such products to the refining +segment of the Group and external customers. +In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group's chief operating decision maker for the purposes of +resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has identified the following five reportable segments. No operating segments have been +aggregated to form the following reportable segments. +Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's operating segments. The format is based on the Group's management and internal +reporting structure. +60 SEGMENT REPORTING +The Group is a defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. +Management has assessed the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome of such contingencies, lawsuits or other proceedings and believes that any +resulting liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Group. +Legal contingencies +Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial +position or operating results of the Group. The PRC government, however, has moved, and may move further towards more rigorous enforcement +of applicable laws, and towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect the Group's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature and +extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to refineries, oil fields, service stations, terminals and land development areas, +whether operating, closed or sold, (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts, (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies, (iv) changes +in environmental remediation requirements, and (v) the identification of new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable +due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be +required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at +present, and could be material. +minority interests +(16,952) +658 +281,624 258,976 +(liabilities) +Net non-current assets/ +(7) +(1,698) +(1,627) +(132) +(158) +(688) +(688) +(140) +(141) +(31,050) +(58,732) (2,086) +Non-current liabilities +12,612 +21,567 +(3,718) +12,301 +6,970 +19,101 +2018 +Shanghai Petrochemical +2019 +2018 +2019 +2018 +SIPL +Marketing Company +2019 +Year ended 31 December +Summarised consolidated statement of comprehensive income and cash flow +12,612 +21,560 +10,603 +9,846 +12,763 +12,619 +10.756 +10,870 +23,186 +Fujian Petrochemical +2019 +11,473 +12,777 +(50,905) +(62,840) +Net current (liabilities)/assets +(2,333) +(15,037) +(2,233) +(3,722) +(2,961) +(50) +(804) +(13,913) +(15,479) +(483) +(456) +(192,106) +Dividends paid to +(181,766) +18,695 +12,895 +16,248 +11,386 +11.444 +11,558 +19,241 +23,327 +38,020 +13,234 +261,062 +340,356 +Non-current assets +417 +(9,700) +7,304 +8,662 +(2,513) +(1,677) +766 +984 +6,830 +Sinopec Kantons +(3,196) +Sinopec-SK +1,140 +1.595 +477 +5,270 +2,233 +4,536 +2,693 +22,538 +23,354 +Total comprehensive income +1,879 +664 +3,099 +3,137 +1,065 +1,131 +1,595 +1,067 +477 +3,137 +664 +1,004 +Shanghai SECCO +232 +1,016 +399 +433 +798 +2,612 +1,112 +2,737 +1,651 +7.780 +8,285 +interests +attributable to minority +Comprehensive income +1,879 +3,099 +5,277 +238 +3,272 +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million RMB million +2018 +2018 +2019 +2018 +2018 +2,225 +2019 +RMB million +RMB million +2019 +Turnover +RMB million +Profit for the year +22,984 +31,016 +26,320 +28,341 +1,398 +1,274 +17,134 +2.831 +1,427,705 +5,261 +3,282 +5,037 +1,443,698 +100,346 +5,535 +107,765 +21,995 +Financial Statements (PRC) +145 +REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL AUDITOR +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +The COVID-19 and international crude oil prices drop in March 2020 are events arose after the balance sheet date, which are non-adjusting events +after the balance sheet date.

We have nothing to report in this regard. +In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, +disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to +liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. +AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, +whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no +other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is +a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAS will always detect a material misstatement when it +exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected +to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. +As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: +Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform +audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk +of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, +intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. +Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but +not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control. +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the +directors. +Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether +a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If +we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated +financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to +the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. +Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process. +In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider +whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise +appears to be materially misstated. +Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion +thereon. +The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information.

The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current +and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the accounts receivable, bills receivable +and receivables financing. +The detailed analysis of accounts receivable and receivables financing is listed in note 8 and note 9. +The Group's other receivables are considered to have low credit risk, and the loss allowance recognised during the year was therefore limited to +12 months expected credit losses. The Group considers "low credit risk" for other receivables when they have a low risk of default and the issuer +has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. +The Group's cash deposits are placed only with large financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings, and there is no material impairment +loss identified. +140 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +61 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) +Liquidity risk +Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group encounters short fall of capital when meeting its obligation of financial liabilities. The Group's approach to +managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal +and stressed capital conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. The Group prepares monthly +cash flow budget to ensure that they will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group arranges and +negotiates financing with financial institutions and maintains a certain level of standby credit facilities to reduce the liquidity risk. +At 31 December 2019, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide the Group to borrow up to RMB +379,649 million (2018: RMB 387,748 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.57% per annum (2018: 3.87%). At 31 +December 2019, the Group's outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB 2,947 million (2018: RMB 21,236 million) and were included +in loans. +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +The Group's primary type of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model is accounts receivable, bills receivable, receivables +financing and other receivables. +The carrying amounts of cash at bank and on hand, financial assets held for trading, derivative financial assets, accounts receivable, bills +receivable, receivables financing and other receivables, represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. +(ii) Impairment of financial assets +Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual +obligations, and arises principally from the Group's deposits placed with financial institutions (including structured deposits) and receivables +from customers. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Group primarily places cash deposits only with large financial +institutions in the PRC with acceptable credit ratings. The majority of the Group's accounts receivable relates to sales of petroleum and chemical +products to related parties and third parties operating in the petroleum and chemical industries. No single customer accounted for greater than +10% of total accounts receivable at 31 December 2019, except for the amounts due from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries. The +Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. +The Group maintains an impairment loss for doubtful accounts and actual losses have been within management's expectations. +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +61 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS +Overview +Financial assets of the Group include cash at bank and on hand, financial assets held for trading, derivative financial assets, accounts receivable, +bills receivable, receivables financing, other receivables and other equity instrument investments. Financial liabilities of the Group include short-term +loans, derivative financial liabilities, bills payable, accounts payable, employee benefits payable, other payables, long-term loans, debentures payable +and lease liabilities. +The Group has exposure to the following risks from its uses of financial instruments: +• +credit risk; +• liquidity risk; and +• market risk. +The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework, and developing +and monitoring the Group's risk management policies. +The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, and set appropriate risk limits and +controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market +conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and +constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Loans carrying interest at variable interest rates +and at fixed interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively. The interest rates and +terms of repayment of short-term and long-term loans of the Group are disclosed in Note 23 and Note 31, respectively. +At 31 December 2019, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in variable interest rates, with all other variables held +constant, would decrease/increase the Group's net profit for the year by approximately RMB 352 million (2018: decrease/increase RMB 424 +million). This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change of interest rates was applied to the Group's debts outstanding +at the balance sheet date with exposure to cash flow interest rate risk. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2018. +(c) Commodity price risk +The Group engages in oil and gas operations and is exposed to commodity price risk related to price volatility of crude oil, refined oil products +and chemical products. The fluctuations in prices of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products could have significant impact on the +Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments, including commodity futures and swaps contracts, to manage a portion of such risk. +At 31 December 2019, the Group had certain commodity contracts of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products designated as +qualified cash flow hedges and economic hedges. At 31 December 2019, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB 788 million (2018: RMB 7,844 million) and derivative financial liabilities of RMB 2,728 million (2018: RMB +13,568 million). +At 31 December 2019, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of USD 10 per barrel in basic price of derivative financial instruments, +with all other variables held constant, would impact the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which would increase/decrease the Group's +net profit for the year by approximately RMB 3,134 million (2018: decrease/increase RMB 197 million), and decrease/increase the Group's other +comprehensive income by approximately RMB 4,289 million (2018: increase/decrease RMB 6,850 million). This sensitivity analysis has been +determined assuming that the change in prices had occurred at the balance sheet date and the change was applied to the Group's derivative +financial instruments at that date with exposure to commodity price risk.

Company Law and the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its net profit determined in accordance +with the accounting policies complying with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("CASS"), adopted by the Group to statutory surplus reserve. In the event +that the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital, no transfer is required. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of a dividend to +shareholders. Statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good previous years' losses, if any, and may be converted into share capital by issuing of new shares to +shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the balance after such issue is +not less than 25% of the registered capital. +During the year ended 31 December 2019, the Company transferred RMB 3,745 million (2018: RMB 3,996 million) to the statutory surplus reserve, being 10% of the +current year's net profit determined in accordance with the accounting policies complying with CASS. +(b) The usage of the discretionary surplus reserve is similar to that of statutory surplus reserve. +(c) As at 31 December 2019, the amount of retained earnings available for distribution was RMB 130,645 million (2018: RMB 143,148 million), being the amount +determined in accordance with CASS. According to the Articles of Association of the Company, the amount of retained earnings available for distribution to shareholders +of the Company is lower of the amount determined in accordance with the accounting policies complying with CASS and the amount determined in accordance with the +accounting policies complying with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS”). +(d) The capital reserve represents (i) the difference between the total amount of the par value of shares issued and the amount of the net assets transferred from Sinopec +Group Company in connection with the Reorganisation (Note 1); and (ii) the difference between the considerations paid over or received the amount of the net assets of +entities and related operations acquired from or sold to Sinopec Group Company and non-controlling interests. +(e) The application of the share premium account is governed by Sections 167 and 168 of the PRC Company Law. +The notes on pages 156 to 203 form part of these consolidated financial statements. +(43,075) +(Amounts in million) +(49,753) +(2.933) +55 +55 +1,093 +(31,479) +(31,479) +(31,479) +(14,529) +(14,529) +(14,529) +3,745 +(3,745) +(18,989) +(18,989) +5,495 +5,495 +3,745 +(49,753) +(46,008) (13,494) +(59,502) +2.933 +2.933 +2.933 +3,745 +28,400 +16,434 +42,800 +In applying IFRS 16 Leases for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: +(i) Practical expedients applied +On adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating +leases'. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental +borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The lessee's incremental borrowing rates applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 ranged from +4.35% to 4.90%. +Lease accounting policy applied until 31 December 2018 is disclosed in Note 2(x)(iii). +The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019, but has not restated comparative amounts for the 2018 reporting period, as +permitted under the specific transition provision in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from IFRS 16 Leases are +therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 January 2019. +IFRS 16 Leases - Impact of adoption +A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had changed its accounting policies +as a result of adopting IFRS 16 Leases. +(a) New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group +The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as +set out below. +Financial Statements (International) +The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable IFRS as issued by the International +Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). IFRS includes International Accounting Standards ("IAS") and related interpretations ("IFRIC"). These +consolidated financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock +Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group are set out in Note 2. +As part of the Reorganisation, certain of Sinopec Group Company's core oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses together with the +related assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company. On 25 February 2000, in consideration for Sinopec Group Company transferring such +oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses and the related assets and liabilities to the Company, the Company issued 68.8 billion domestic +state-owned ordinary shares with a par value of RMB 1.00 each to Sinopec Group Company. The shares issued to Sinopec Group Company on 25 +February 2000 represented the entire registered and issued share capital of the Company on that date. The oil and gas and chemical operations and +businesses transferred to the Company were related to (i) the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the refining, +transportation, storage and marketing of crude oil and petroleum products, and (iii) the production and sales of chemicals. +The Company was established in the PRC on 25 February 2000 as a joint stock limited company as part of the reorganisation (the "Reorganisation") +of China Petrochemical Corporation ("Sinopec Group Company"), the ultimate holding company of the Group and a ministry-level enterprise under +the direct supervision of the State Council of the PRC. Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the oil and gas and chemical operations of the +Group were carried on by oil administration bureaux, petrochemical and refining production enterprises and sales and marketing companies of +Sinopec Group Company. +Organisation +China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the "Company") is an energy and chemical company that, through its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively +referred to as the "Group"), engages in oil and gas and chemical operations in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").

Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair +value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset (Note 2(j)) or, when appropriate, the cost on +initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture (Note 2(a)(ii)). +If a business combination involving entities not under common control is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the +acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from +such remeasurement are recognised in the consolidated income statement. +Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby +adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative +interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised. +Non-controlling interests at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests +that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet +and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. +Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated +statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between +non-controlling interests and the shareholders of the Company. +158 +The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control effectively +commences until the date that control effectively ceases. +(i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests +The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, and interest in associates and joint ventures. +(a) Basis of consolidation +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +Key assumptions and estimation made by management in the application of IFRS that have significant effect on the consolidated financial +statements and the major sources of estimation uncertainty are disclosed in Note 43. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in +which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both +current and future periods. +The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and +assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and +liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The +estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under +the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not +readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. +Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2019 reporting periods and +have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future +reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. +(b) New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group +Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Group. 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. +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +159 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +Cash equivalents consist of time deposits with financial institutions with an initial term of less than three months when purchased.

The income and expenses of foreign operation are translated into Renminbi at the spot exchange rates +or an exchange rate that approximates the spot exchange rates on the transaction dates. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in +other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity in the other reserves. +Exchange differences, other than those capitalised as construction in progress, are recognised as income or expense in the "finance costs" +section of the consolidated income statement. +The presentation currency of the Group is Renminbi. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into Renminbi at the applicable +rates of exchange quoted by the People's Bank of China ("PBOC") prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets and +liabilities are translated into Renminbi at the PBOC's rates at the balance sheet date. +(b) Translation of foreign currencies +A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by those entities. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions +between combining entities or businesses are eliminated on consolidation. Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, +costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., +incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting is recognised as an expense +in the period in which it is incurred. +The consolidated income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or +since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where there is a shorter period, regardless +of the date of the common control combination. The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the +entities or businesses had been combined at the previous balance sheet date or when they first came under common control, whichever is +shorter. +The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the combining entities or businesses in which the common +control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the +control of the controlling party. The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the +controlling parties' perspective. No amount is recognised as consideration for goodwill or excess of acquirers' interest in the net fair value of +acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the +continuation of the controlling party's interest. +(iv) Merger accounting for common control combination +Inter-company balances and transactions and any unrealised gains arising from inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation. +Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the entity. +Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. +(iii)Transactions eliminated on consolidation +When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate or joint control over a joint venture, it is accounted for as a disposal of +the entire interest in that investee, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former investee +at the date when significant influence or joint control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial +recognition of a financial asset (see Note 2(j)) or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate. +The Group's share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the +consolidated income statement, whereas the Group's share of the post-acquisition, post-tax items of the investees' other comprehensive +income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. +Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated and separate financial statements using the equity method +from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. Under the +equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Group's share of the +investee's net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (Notes 2(i) and (n)). +(ii) Associates and joint ventures (Continued) +(a) Basis of consolidation (Continued) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Basis of preparation (Continued) +1 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, ORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Exploration and production +Segment assets and segment liabilities for 31 December 2019 all increased as a result of the changes in accounting policy.

Current tax is calculated on taxable income by applying the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax is +provided using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial +reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available +against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the enacted tax rates or substantially enacted tax rates that +are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. The effect on deferred tax of any changes in tax rates is +charged or credited to the consolidated income statement, except for the effect of a change in tax rate on the carrying amount of deferred tax +assets and liabilities which were previously charged or credited to other comprehensive income or directly in equity. +The tax value of losses expected to be available for utilisation against future taxable income is set off against the deferred tax liability within the +same legal tax unit and jurisdiction to the extent appropriate, and is not available for set off against the taxable profit of another legal tax unit. +The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable +that the related tax benefit will be realised. +165 +(aa) Dividends +(bb) Segment reporting +Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the consolidated financial statements, are identified from the financial +information provided regularly to the Group's chief operating decision maker for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the +performance of the Group's various lines of business. +3 TURNOVER +Turnover primarily represents revenue from the sales of refined petroleum products, chemical products, crude oil and natural gas. +2019 +RMB million +2018 +RMB million +Gasoline +699,202 +711,236 +Diesel +Crude oil +Dividends and distributions of profits proposed in the profit appropriation plan which will be authorized and declared after the balance sheet +date, are not recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date and are separately disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

As facts concerning environmental contingencies become known to the Group, the Group reassesses its position both with +respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. +Research and development expenditures that cannot be capitalised are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Research and +development expense amounted to RMB 9,395 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 (2018: RMB 7,956 million). +(x) Leases +A lease is a contract that a lessor transfers the right to use an identified asset for a period of time to a lessee in exchange for consideration. +(i) As lessee +The Group recognises a right-of-use asset at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group, and recognises a lease +liability measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The lease payments include fixed payments, the exercise price of +a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease +term reflects the Group exercising that option, etc. Variable payments that are based on a percentage of sales are not included in the lease +payments, and should be recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Lease liabilities to be paid within one year (including one year) from +balance sheet date is presented in current liabilities. +Right-of-use assets of the Group mainly comprise land. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which comprises the amount of the initial +measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs incurred by the +lessee, less any lease incentives received. The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the +lease term on a straight-line basis. When the recoverable amount of a right-of-use asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount +is reduced to the recoverable amount. +Payments associated with short-term leases with lease terms within 12 months and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a +straight-line basis over the lease term as an expense in profit or loss or as cost of relevant assets, instead of recognising right-of-use assets +and lease liabilities. +(ii) As lessor +A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. An operating lease is a +lease other than a finance lease. +When the Group leases self-owned plants and buildings, equipment and machinery, lease income from an operating lease is recognised on a +straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The Group recognises variable lease income which is based on a certain percentage of sales +as rental income when occurred. +(iii) Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2018 +Lease prepayments +Lease prepayments represent land use rights paid to the relevant government authorities. Land use rights are carried at cost less +accumulated amount charged to expense and impairment losses.

Advance from +customers but goods not yet delivered is recorded as contract liabilities and is recognised as revenues when a customer obtains control over the +relevant goods. +Sales of goods +Goodwill represents amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. Goodwill represents the difference between the +cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. +Prior to 1 January 2008, the acquisition of the non-controlling interests of a consolidated subsidiary was accounted for using the acquisition +method whereby the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired (on a proportionate +share) was recognised as goodwill. From 1 January 2008, any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted +(such as through an acquisition of the non-controlling interests) and the cash or other considerations paid is recognised in equity. +Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating +unit, or groups of cash-generating units, that is expected to benefit the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment +(Note 2(n)). In respect of associates or joint ventures, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the interest in the +associate or joint venture and the investment as a whole is tested for impairment whenever there is objective evidence of impairment (Note 2(n)). +(j) Financial assets +(i) Classification and measurement +The Group classifies financial assets into different categories depending on the business model for managing the financial assets and the +contractual terms of cash flows of the financial assets: a) financial assets measured at amortised cost, b) financial assets measured at fair +value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), c) financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. A contractual cash flow +characteristic which could have only a de minimis effect, or could have an effect that is more than de minimis but is not genuine, does not +affect the classification of the financial asset. +Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant +transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The transaction costs for other financial assets are included in the initially recognised +amount. However, trade accounts receivable and bills receivable arising from sale of goods or rendering services, without significant financing +component, are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Group. +Debt instruments +Debt instruments held by the Group mainly includes cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with financial institutions, receivables. These +financial assets are measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. +• +Amortised cost: The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows. The +contractual cash flow characteristics are to give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on +the principal amount outstanding. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate method. +• FVOCI: The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for +selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount +outstanding. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment +gains or losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income calculated using the effective interest rate method, which are +recognised in profit or loss. +(i) Goodwill +Equity instruments +In addition, the Group designates some equity instruments that are not held for trading as financial assets at FVOCI, are presented in +financial assets at FVOCI. The relevant dividends of these financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. When derecognised, the cumulative +gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings. +(ii) Impairment +The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost and a debt +instrument that is measured at FVOCI. +The Group measures and recognises expected credit losses, considering reasonable and supportable information about the relevant past +events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. +The Group measures the expected credit losses of financial instruments on different stages at each balance sheet date. For financial +instruments that have no significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition, on first stage, the Group measures the loss allowance +at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition of +a financial instrument but credit impairment has not occurred, on second stage, the Group recognises a loss allowance at an amount equal +to lifetime expected credit losses. If credit impairment has occurred since the initial recognition of a financial instrument, on third stage, the +Group recognises a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +161 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(j) Financial assets (Continued) +Equity instruments that the Group has no power to control, jointly control or exercise significant influence over, are measured at fair value +through profit or loss and presented in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(d) Trade, bills and other receivables +Trade, bills and other receivables are recognised initially at their transaction price, unless they contain significant financing components when +they are recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses +for bad and doubtful debts (Note 2(j)). Trade, bills and other receivables are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows +from these financial assets expire or if the Group transfers these financial assets to another party without retaining control or substantially all +risks and rewards of the assets. +(e) Inventories +Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost mainly includes the cost of purchase computed using the weighted +average method and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. +Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated +costs necessary to make the sale. +(f) Property, plant and equipment +An item of property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (Note 2(n)). The cost +of an asset comprises its purchase price, any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition and location for its intended +use. The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when +that cost is incurred, when it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the +item can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement in the year in which it is +incurred. +Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, are +determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised as income or expense +in the consolidated income statement on the date of retirement or disposal. +Depreciation is provided to write off the cost amount of items of property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, over its +estimated useful life on a straight-line basis, after taking into account its estimated residual value, as follows: +Buildings +Equipment, machinery and others +Estimated +usage period +12 to 50 years +4 to 30 years +Estimated +residuals rate +3% +3% +Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis +between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reassessed annually. +(g) Oil and gas properties +The Group uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities. Under this method, costs of development +wells, the related supporting equipment and proved mineral interests in properties are capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially +capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. The impairment of exploratory well +costs occurs upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. The exploratory well costs are usually not carried as an asset +for more than one year following completion of drilling, unless (i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion +as a producing well if the required capital expenditure is made; (ii) drilling of the additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned +for the near future; or (iii) other activities are being undertaken to sufficiently progress the assessing of the reserves and the economic and +operating viability of the project. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, other dry hole costs and annual lease +rentals to explore for or use oil and natural gas, are expensed as incurred. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a +unit-of-production method based on volumes produced and reserves. +Management estimates future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties with reference to engineering estimates after taking into +consideration the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with the industry practices and the future cash flows are adjusted +to reflect such risks specific to the liability, as appropriate. These estimated future dismantlement costs are discounted at pre-tax risk-free rate +and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs of the oil and gas properties. +(h) Construction in progress +Construction in progress represents buildings, oil and gas properties, various plant and equipment under construction and pending installation, +and is stated at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(n)). 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 periods 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. +160 +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +(ii) Impairment (Continued) +2018 +RMB million +For financial instruments that have low credit risk at the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that there is no significant increase in credit +risk since the initial recognition, and measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. +For trade accounts receivable and bills receivable and financial assets at FVOCI related to revenue, the Group measures the loss allowance at +an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. +For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding policy statements, that amount is reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve +to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit +or loss. +If the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not +be recovered in one or more future periods, the Group immediately reclassifies the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or +loss. +When the hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting (ie the +entity no longer pursues that risk management objective), or when a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or there is no +longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument or the effect of credit risk starts to dominate the value +changes that result from that economic relationship or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Group discontinues prospectively +the hedge accounting treatments. If the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur, that amount remains in the cash flow hedge +reserve and is accounted for as cash flow hedges. If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, that amount is immediately +reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. A hedged future cash flow that is no longer highly +probable to occur may still be expected to occur, if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur, that amount remains in the cash +flow hedge reserve and is accounted for as cash flow hedges. +(n) Impairment of assets +The carrying amounts of assets, including property, plant and equipment, construction in progress, right-of-use assets and other assets, are +reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indicators that the assets may be impaired. These assets are tested for impairment whenever +events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, +the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date. +The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to disposal and the value in use. In determining the value in use, expected +future cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market +assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent +of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. +a cash-generating unit). +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +163 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast +transaction for a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the +entity removes that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or +the liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and hence it does not affect other comprehensive income. +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +The amount of the reduction is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of +cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then, to reduce +the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its +individual fair value less costs to disposal, or value in use, if determinable. +Management assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset, except in the +case of goodwill, in prior years may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used +to determine the recoverable amount. A subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset, when the circumstances and events that led +to the write-down or write-off cease to exist, is recognised as an income. The reversal is reduced by the amount that would have been recognised +as depreciation had the write-down or write-off not occurred. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. +(o) Trade, bills and other payables +Trade, bills and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would +be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. +(p) Interest-bearing borrowings +Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, +interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the +consolidated income statement over the period of borrowings using the effective interest method. +(q) Provisions and contingent liability +A provision is recognised for liability of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a +past event, when it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. +When it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is +disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only +be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability +of outflow of economic benefits is remote. +Provisions for future dismantlement costs are initially recognised based on the present value of the future costs expected to be incurred in +respect of the Group's expected dismantlement and abandonment costs at the end of related oil and gas exploration and development activities. +Any subsequent change in the present value of the estimated costs, other than the change due to passage of time which is regarded as interest +cost, is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and oil and gas properties. +(r) Revenue recognition +Revenue arises in the course of the Group's ordinary activities, and increases in economic benefits in the form of inflows that result in an +increase in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants. +The Group sells crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and chemical products, etc. Revenue is recognised according to the expected consideration +amount, when a customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. To determine whether a customer obtains control of a promised +asset, the Group shall consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the Group has a present right to +payment for the asset; the Group has transferred physical possession of the asset to the customer; the customer has the significant risks and +rewards of ownership of the asset; the customer has accepted the asset. +(n) Impairment of assets (Continued) +The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. +The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an ineffective hedge is recognised in profit or loss. +(ii) The cumulative change in fair value (present value) of the hedged item (i.e. the present value of the cumulative change in the hedged +expected future cash flows) from inception of the hedge. +(i) The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and +The Group recognises the loss allowance accrued or written back in profit or loss. +(iii) Derecognition +The Group derecognises a financial asset when: a) the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset expires; b) the Group +transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; c) the financial asset has been +transferred and the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but the +Group has not retained control. +On derecognition of equity instruments at FVOCI, the difference between the carrying amounts and the sum of the consideration received +and any accumulated gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income, is recognised in retained earnings. While on +derecognition of other financial assets, this difference is recognised in profit or loss. +(k) Financial liabilities +The Group, at initial recognition, classifies financial liabilities as either financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost or financial +liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. +The Group's financial liabilities are mainly financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including trade accounts payable and bills payable, +other payables, and loans, etc. These financial liabilities are initially measured at the amount of their fair value after deducting transaction costs +and use the effective interest rate method for subsequent measurement. +Where the present obligations of financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the Group derecognises these financial liabilities or +discharged parts of obligations. The differences between the carrying amounts and the consideration received are recognised in profit or loss. +(I) Determination of fair value for financial instruments +If there is an active market for financial instruments, the quoted price in the active market is used to measure fair values of the financial +instruments. If no active market exists for financial instruments, valuation techniques are used to measure fair values. In valuation, the Group +adopts valuation techniques that are applicable in the current situation and have sufficient available data and other information to support it, +and selects input values that are consistent with the asset or liability characteristics considered by market participants in the transaction of +relevant assets or liabilities, and gives priority to relevant observable input values. Use of unobservable input values where relevant observable +input values cannot be obtained or are not practicable. +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting +Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At each balance sheet date, the fair value is remeasured. The gain or loss on +remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss, except where the derivatives qualify for hedge accounting. +Hedge accounting is a method which recognises the offsetting effects on profit or loss (or other comprehensive income) of changes in the fair +values of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the same accounting period, to represent the effect of risk management activities. +Hedged items are the items that expose the Group to risks of changes in future cash flows and that are designated as being hedged and that +must be reliably measurable. The Group's hedged items include a forecast transaction that is settled with an undetermined future market price +and exposes the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, etc. +A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in cash flows are expected to offset changes in cash flows of the hedged item. +Financial Statements (International) +162 Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +(i) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which shares a risk and that gives rise to opposite +changes in fair value that tend to offset each other. +(ii) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. +(iii) The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges +and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. However, that designation +does not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument. +Cash flow hedges +Cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with all, or a component +of, a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable-rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction, +and could affect profit or loss. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective +effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. +As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, the separate component of equity associated with the hedged +item (cash flow hedge reserve) is adjusted to the lower of the following (in absolute amounts): +For financial instruments on the first stage and the second stage, and that have low credit risk, the Group calculates interest income +according to carrying amount without deducting the impairment allowance and effective interest rate. For financial instruments on the third +stage, interest income is calculated according to the carrying amount minus amortised cost after the provision of impairment allowance and +effective interest rate. +Financial Statements (International) +68,425 +Contributions to retirement schemes (Note 39) +(335) +(779) +Tax effect of tax losses not recognised +498 +609 +Write-down of deferred tax assets

appropriation income and non-income tax refunds received from +respective government agencies without conditions or other contingencies attached to the receipts of the grants. +(ii) Impairment losses on long-lived assets for the year ended 31 December 2019 primarily represent impairment losses recognised in the refining segment of RMB 245 +million (2018: RMB 353 million), the marketing and distribution segment of RMB 80 million (2018: RMB 264 million), the chemicals segment of RMB 17 million (2018: +RMB 1,374 million) and the exploration and production ("E&P") segment of RMB 3 million (2018: RMB 4,274 million). The primary factor resulting in the E&P segment +impairment loss in the prior year was downward revision of oil and gas reserve in certain fields. E&P segment determines recoverable amounts of properties, plant and +equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities, which include significant judgments and assumptions. The recoverable amounts were determined based on the +present values of the expected future cash flows of the assets using a pre-tax discount rate 10.47% (2018: 10.47%). Further future downward revisions to the Group's +oil price outlook would lead to further impairments which, in aggregate, are likely to be material. It is estimated that a general decrease of 5% in oil price, with all +other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment loss on the Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities by +approximately RMB 184 million (2018: RMB 312 million). It is estimated that a general increase of 5% in operating cost, with all other variables held constant, would +result in additional impairment loss on the Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities by approximately RMB 180 million (2018: +RMB 315 million). It is estimated that a general increase of 5% in discount rate, with all other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment loss on +the Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities by approximately RMB 7 million (2018: less RMB 5 million). +9 INTEREST EXPENSE +2019 +RMB million +Loss on disposal of property, plant, equipment and other non-current assets, net +Zhang Baolong +Zou Huiping +RMB million +Financial Statements (International) +170 +2018 +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +23,886 +23,728 +Carrying Amounts +3,453 +3,741 +7,266 +7,955 +11,086 +11,125 +12,476 +13,772 +23,886 +13,772 +23,728 +517 +446 +non-controlling interests +Net assets attributable to +6,906 +7,481 +18,750 +20,529 +110,860 +111,250 +25,462 +28.106 +Share of net assets from associates +12,476 +11,125 +11,086 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +179 +Financial Statements (International) +2019 +2018 +RMB million +CIR +Zhongtian Synergetic Energy +2019 +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +2018 +SIBUR +2019 +2018 +2019 +2018 +2019 +Sinopec Finance +Pipeline Ltd +Year ended 31 December +Summarised statement of comprehensive income +3,453 +3,741 +7,266 +7,955 +47,772 +47,456 +of the Company +Net assets attributable to owners +(721) +Current liabilities +1,828 +971 +49,961 +56,424 +170,796 +182,646 +16,359 +18,926 +39,320 +37,842 +6,712 +7,612 +RMB million +2018 +2019 +RMB million +31 December 31 December 31 December 31 December +2019 +2018 +RMB million RMB million +4,219 +7,477 +22,502 +31,634 +209,837 +180,383 +12,498 +13,245 +Current assets +Non-current assets +31 December 31 December 31 December +2018 +2019 +2018 +RMB million RMB million RMB million +31 December 31 December +2018 +2019 +RMB million +(1,020) +54,023 +(170,621) +(31,295) +6,906 +7,481 +18,750 +20,529 +111,377 +111,696 +25,462 +28,106 +47,772 +47,456 +Net assets +(673) +(166) +(31,436) +(26,227) +(58,628) +(71,289) +(332) +(582) +(3,026) +(2,910) +Non-current liabilities +(961) +(936) +(7,252) +(13,887) +(23,293) +(200,402) +RMB million +57,844 +1,879 +85 +54,865 +64,879 +Impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts are analysed as follows: +Balance at 1 January +Provision for the year +Written back for the year +Written off for the year +Others +Balance at 31 December +2019 +2018 +RMB million +94 +RMB million +612 +1,566 +83 +(283) +(77) +(41) +(19) +7 +1,848 +606 +Sales are generally on a cash term.

Thus no liability has been accrued for a loss related to the Group's obligation under these guarantee arrangements. +Notes: +(ii) The Group provided a guarantee in respect to standby credit facilities granted to Zhongtian Synergetic Energy Company Limited ("Zhongtian Synergetic Energy") +by banks amount to RMB 17,050 million. As at 31 December 2019, the amount withdrawn by Zhongtian Synergetic Energy and guaranteed by the Group was RMB +10,140 million (2018: RMB 12,168 million). +(iii) The Group provided a guarantee in respect to the loan of New Bright International Development Limited borrowed from Sinopec Overseas Oil & Gas Limited. As at 31 +December 2019, the loan agreement was terminated, in consequence, the guarantee agreement was terminated. +Environmental contingencies +Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial +position or operating results of the Group. The PRC government, however, has moved, and may move further towards more rigorous enforcement +of applicable laws, and towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect management's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature +and extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to refineries, oil fields, service stations, terminals and land development +areas, whether operating, closed or sold, (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts, (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies, (iv) +changes in environmental remediation requirements, and (v) the identification of new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is +indeterminable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective +actions that may be required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot +reasonably be estimated at present, and could be material. +The Group paid normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB 9,235 million in the consolidated financial statements for the year +ended 31 December 2019 (2018: RMB 7,940 million). +Legal contingencies +192,224 +The Group is defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

As +at 31 December 2019, the Group's outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB 2,947 million (2018: RMB 21,236 million) and were +included in debts. +liquidity risk; and +• market risk. +The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment, oversight of the Group's risk management framework, and developing and +monitoring the Group's risk management policies. +The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, and set appropriate risk limits and +controls to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market +conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management controls and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and +constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Internal audit department undertakes both regular +and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Group's audit committee. +Credit risk +(i) Risk management +Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual +obligations, and arises principally from the Group's deposits placed with financial institutions (including structured deposits) and receivables +from customers. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Group primarily places cash deposits only with large financial +institutions in the PRC with acceptable credit ratings. The majority of the Group's trade accounts receivable relate to sales of petroleum and +chemical products to related parties and third parties operating in the petroleum and chemical industries. No single customer accounted for +greater than 10% of total trade accounts receivable at 31 December 2019, except the amounts due from Sinopec Group Company and fellow +subsidiaries. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of the Group's customers' financial condition and generally does not require +collateral on trade accounts receivable. The Group maintains an impairment loss for doubtful accounts and actual losses have been within +management's expectations. +The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with financial institutions, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, +derivative financial assets, trade accounts receivable and bills receivable, financial assets at FVOCI and other receivables, represent the Group's +maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. +(ii) Impairment of financial assets +The Group's primary type of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model is trade accounts receivable and bills receivable, +financial assets at FVOCI and other receivables. +The Group's cash deposits are placed only with large financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings, and there is no material impairment +loss identified. +For trade accounts receivable and bills receivable and financial assets at FVOCI, the Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring +expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade accounts receivable and bills receivable and financial assets at +FVOCI. +To measure the expected credit losses, trade accounts receivable and bills receivable and financial assets at FVOCI have been grouped based on +shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. +The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 31 December 2019 or 1 January 2019, +respectively, and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current +and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. +The detailed analysis of trade accounts receivable and bills receivable and financial assets at FVOCI, based on which the Group generated its +payment profile is listed in Notes 25 and 26. +All of the entity's other receivables (Note 28) are considered to have low credit risk, and the loss allowance recognised during the period was +therefore limited to 12 months expected losses. The Group considers 'low credit risk' for other receivables when they have a low risk of default +and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. +196 +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +42 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Liquidity risk +Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing +liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed +conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. Management prepares monthly cash flow budget +to ensure that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group arranges and negotiates +financing with financial institutions and maintains a certain level of standby credit facilities to reduce the Group's liquidity risk. +The Group has exposure to the following risks from its uses of financial instruments: +43,623 +3.605 +12,921 +Shanghai Petrochemical +2019 +2018 +RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million +Fujian Petrochemical +2019 +2018 +RMB million RMB million +Sinopec Kantons +2019 +RMB million RMB million +2018 +Shanghai SECCO +2019 +2018 +Sinopec-SK +2019 +2018 +2018 +RMB million RMB million +Net cash generated from +operating activities +40,260 24,825 +2,128 +3,467 +5,057 +6,659 +622 +38 +716 +738 +RMB million RMB million +2019 +SIPL +2018 +non-controlling interests +4,830 +3,964 +10,926 +1,344 +1.616 +650 +650 +600 +600 +159 +14 +399 +1,016 +1,004 +245 +658 +104 +822 +1.191 +Summarised statement of cash flows +Year ended 31 December +Marketing Company +2019 +4,601 +5,993 +3,766 +3,308 +(3,676) +250 +525 +Net (decrease)/increase in +cash and cash equivalents +(7,198) +1.080 +2,690 +2.144 +(1,303) +(2,050) +1,224 +139 +(134) +(95) +(165) 2,460 +(390) +795 +734 +Cash and cash equivalents +at 1 January +14.142 +(13) +(1,208) +43 +(163) +Net cash (used in)/generated +from investing activities +(25,923) +8.339 +678 +4,096 +(4,623) +(1,928) +(472) +(215) +397 +648 +(91) +(480) +(4,987) +(3,099) +Net cash (used in)/generated +from financing activities +(21,535) +(32,084) +(116) +(5,419) +(1,737) +(3,507) +5,532 +Lease liabilities +9.278 +367,711 +Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: +Level 1 +Level 2 +Level 3 +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +Total +RMB million +Structured deposits +3,318 +Assets +3,318 +1 +1 +Derivative financial assets: +- Derivative financial assets +128 +709 +837 +Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: +- Equity instruments +90 +1,431 +- Equity investments, listed and at quoted market price +At 31 December 2019 +Level 3 (lowest level): fair values measured using valuation techniques in which any significant input is not based on observable market data. +• +172 +1 +SGD +Other than the amounts as disclosed above, the amounts of other financial assets and liabilities of the Group are substantially denominated in the +functional currency of respective entity within the Group. +Interest rate risk +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term debts and loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow +subsidiaries. Debts bearing interest at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate +risk respectively. The interest rates and terms of repayment of short-term and long-term debts, and loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow +subsidiaries of the Group are disclosed in Note 30. +As at 31 December 2019, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in variable interest rates, with all other variables held +constant, would decrease/increase the Group's profit for the year by approximately RMB 352 million (2018: decrease/increase by approximately +RMB 424 million). This sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change of interest rates was applied to the Group's debts +outstanding at the balance sheet date with exposure to cash flow interest rate risk. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2018. +Commodity price risk +The Group engages in oil and gas operations and is exposed to commodity price risk related to price volatility of crude oil, refined oil products and +chemical products. The fluctuations in prices of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products could have significant impact on the Group. +The Group uses derivative financial instruments, including commodity futures and swaps contracts, to manage a portion of this risk. +As at 31 December 2019, the Group had certain commodity contracts of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products designated as +qualified cash flow hedges and economic hedges. As at 31 December 2019, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB 788 million (2018: RMB 7,844 million) and derivative financial liabilities of RMB 2,728 million (2018: RMB +13,568 million). +As at 31 December 2019, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of USD 10 per barrel in basic price of derivative financial instruments, +with all other variables held constant, would impact the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which would increase/decrease the Group's +profit for the year by approximately RMB 3,134 million (2018: decrease/increase RMB 197 million), and decrease/increase the Group's other +reserves by approximately RMB 4,289 million (2018: increase/decrease RMB 6,850 million).

The Group regularly monitors and reviews the assumptions used for estimating +expected credit losses. +Allowance for diminution in value of inventories +If the costs of inventories become higher than their net realisable values, an allowance for diminution in value of inventories is recognised. Net +realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated +costs necessary to make the sale. Management bases the estimates on all available information, including the current market prices of the finished +goods and raw materials, and historical operating costs. If the actual selling prices were to be lower or the costs of completion were to be higher +than estimated, the actual allowance for diminution in value of inventories could be higher than estimated. +44 EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE +In early 2020, the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") has significant impacts on the consumption of refined oil products and sales +of chemical products of the Group. The Group has taken a series of strong and effective measures, and has coordinated the prevention and control +of the COVID-19 and the resumption of work and production with all-out efforts to minimize its impact. +International crude oil prices dropped significantly in March 2020 under the impact of the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the breakdown of OPEC's +production reduction negotiation, which has a significant impact on the Group's operation. +The COVID-19 and international crude oil prices drop in March 2020 are events arose after the balance sheet date, which are non-adjusting events +after the balance sheet date. The Group will keep continuous attention on the situation of the COVID-19 and future fluctuation in oil prices, take +responsive tackling measures, and assess the impact on the financial position and operating results of the Group after the balance sheet date. Up to +the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, the assessment is still in progress. +45 PARENT AND ULTIMATE HOLDING COMPANY +The directors consider the parent and ultimate holding company of the Group as at 31 December 2019 is Sinopec Group Company, a state-owned +enterprise established in the PRC. This entity does not produce financial statements available for public use. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +201 +Financial Statements (International) +202 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +46 BALANCE SHEET AND RESERVE MOVEMENT OF THE COMPANY +BALANCE SHEET OF THE COMPANY (Amounts in million) +Note +31 December +2019 +RMB +31 December +2018 +RMB +Non-current assets +Property, plant and equipment, net +Construction in progress +Right-of-use assets +291,544 +302,048 +Property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, 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 at least annually in order +to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Group's historical +experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if +there are significant changes from previous estimates. +Depreciation +If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered “impaired", and an +impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets". The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are reviewed +periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment +whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has +occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. The recoverable +amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for +the Group's assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset or +the cash-generating units are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to level of sale volume, selling price, +amount of operating costs and discount rate. 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, amount of operating costs and discount rate. +Impairment for long-lived assets +(i) GOVERNMENT GRANTS +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +42 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Fair values (Continued) +(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value +The disclosures of the fair value estimates, and their methods and assumptions of the Group's financial instruments, are made to comply +with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements and related +notes. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Group using market information and valuation methodologies considered +appropriate. However, considerable judgement is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the +estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realise in a current market exchange. The use of +different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. +The fair values of the Group's financial instruments carried at other than fair value (other than long-term indebtedness and investments in +unquoted equity securities) approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term +indebtedness are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market interest rates offered to the Group for debt with substantially +the same characteristic and maturities range from 2.37% to 4.90% (2018: 2.76% to 4.90%). The following table presents the carrying amount +and fair value of the Group's long-term indebtedness other than loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries at 31 December +2019 and 2018: +Carrying amount +Fair value +31 December +2019 +RMB million +31 December +2018 +63,946 +62,594 +RMB million +60,493 +63,085 +62,656 +Except for the above items, the financial assets and liabilities of the Group are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values +at 31 December 2019 and 2018. +43 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS +The Group's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the +preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on +various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements about matters that are not readily +apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, +circumstances and conditions change. +The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of such policies and the sensitivity of +reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the consolidated financial statements. The +significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2. Management believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant +judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. +Oil and gas properties and reserves +The accounting for the exploration and production's oil and gas activities is subject to accounting rules that are unique to the oil and gas industry. +There are two methods to account for oil and gas business activities, the successful efforts method and the full cost method. The Group has elected +to use the successful efforts method. The successful efforts method reflects the volatility that is inherent in exploring for mineral resources in that +costs of unsuccessful exploratory efforts are charged to expense as they are incurred. These costs primarily include dry hole costs, seismic costs +and other exploratory costs. Under the full cost method, these costs are capitalised and written-off or depreciated over time. +Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the +subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be +met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as “proved”. Proved and proved developed reserves estimates are updated at least +annually and take into account recent production and technical information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from +year to year, the estimates of proved and proved developed reserves also change. This change is considered a change in estimate for accounting +purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in relation to depreciation rates. Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on the assessment of +the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil and gas properties reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves estimates are revised +downwards, earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the property's carrying amount. +Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration the +anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in similar geographic area, including estimation of economic +life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are capitalised as oil and +gas properties with equivalent amounts recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs. +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in determining depreciation expense, impairment loss +and future dismantlement costs. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes +produced and reserves. +200 +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +43 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +The Group has not developed an internal valuation model necessary to estimate the fair values of loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries as it is not considered practicable to estimate their fair values because the cost of obtaining discount and borrowing rates for +comparable borrowings would be excessive based on the Reorganisation of the Group, the Group's existing capital structure and the terms of the +borrowings. +Contract liabilities +51,598 +Investment in subsidiaries +21,544 +30,145 +Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income +Dividends receivable +207 +41 +2,313 +Inventories +49,116 +45,825 +Prepaid expenses and other current assets. +106,645 +73,442 +Total current assets +232,565 +257,104 +Current liabilities +Short-term debts +32,329 +14,511 +Loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries +39,439 +5,815 +Lease liabilities +7,198 +Derivative financial liabilities +157 +967 +Trade accounts payable and bills payable +80,118 +Trade accounts receivable and bills receivable +940 +Derivative financial assets +22,500 +266,359 +251,970 +Interest in associates +22,798 +21,143 +Interest in joint ventures +15,530 +16,094 +Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income +395 +395 +Deferred tax assets +7,315 +11,021 +120,037 +Lease prepayments +Current assets +7,101 +Long-term prepayments and other assets +6,727 +13,129 +791,198 +674,499 +Cash and cash equivalents +15,984 +59,120 +Time deposits with financial institutions +38,088 +23,759 +Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss +Total non-current assets +Under CASs, grants from the government are credited to capital reserve if required by relevant governmental regulations.

OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Table V: Standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows +The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, related to the above proved oil and gas reserves, is calculated in accordance with +the requirements of "ASC Topic 932 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas", "SEC Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X", and "Industrial Information Disclosure +Guidelines for Public Company - No.8 Oil and Gas Exploitation". Estimated future cash inflows from production are computed by applying the average, +first-day-of-the-month price adjusted for differential for oil and gas during the twelve-month period before the ending date of the period covered by +the report to year-end quantities of estimated net proved reserves. Future price changes are limited to those provided by contractual arrangements in +existence at the end of each reporting year. Future development and production costs are those estimated future expenditures necessary to develop and +produce year-end estimated proved reserves based on year-end cost indices, assuming continuation of year-end economic conditions. Estimated future +income taxes are calculated by applying appropriate year-end statutory tax rates to estimated future pre-tax net cash flows, less the tax basis of related +assets. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using 10% discount factors.

The Company's +overseas businesses and assets are subject +to the jurisdiction of the host country's laws +and regulations. In light of the complicated +factors such as imbalance of global economy, +competitiveness of industry and trade +structure, exclusiveness of regional trading +blocs, polarisation of benefits distribution +in trade, and politicisation of economic and +trade issues, including sanctions, barriers to +entry, instability in the financial and taxation +policies, contract defaults, tax dispute, the +Company's risks with regard to overseas +business development and management +could be increased. +Currency risks: At present, China implements +an administered floating exchange rate +regime based on market supply and +demand which is regulated with reference +to a basket of currencies in terms of the +exchange rate of Renminbi. As the Company +purchases a significant portion of crude oil +in foreign currency which is based on US +dollar-denominated prices, the realized price +of crude oil is based on international crude +oil price. Despite the fact that, the price +of the domestic refined oil products will +change as the exchange rate of the Renminbi +changes according to the pricing mechanism +for the domestic refined oil products, and +the price of other domestic petrochemical +products will also be influenced by the price +of the imported products, which to a large +extent, smooths the impact of the Renminbi +exchange rate on the processing and sales +of the Company's crude oil refined products. +However, the fluctuation of the Renminbi +exchange rate will still have an effect on the +income of the upstream sector. +Cyber-security risks: the Company has a +well-established network safety system, +information infrastructure and operation +system, and network safety information +platform, devotes significant resources to +protecting our digital infrastructure and +data against cyber-attacks, if our systems +against cyber-security risk prove to be +ineffective, we could be adversely affected +by, among other things, disruptions to our +business operations, and loss of proprietary +information, including intellectual property, +financial information and employer +and customer data, injuries to people, +property, environment and reputation. As +cyber-security attacks continue to evolve, +we may be required to expend additional +resources to enhance our protective +measures against cyber-security breaches. +By Order of the Board +Zhang Yuzhuo +Chairman +Beijing, China, 27 March 2020 +Report of the Board of Supervisors +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +Report of the Board of Directors +58 +Report of the Board of Supervisors +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS +Dear Shareholders: +In 2019, the Board of Supervisors and +each supervisor of Sinopec Corp. diligently +performed their supervision responsibilities, +actively participated in the supervision process +of decision making, carefully reviewed and +effectively supervised the major decisions of +the Company, and endeavored to safeguard the +interests of shareholders and the Company in +accordance with the PRC Company Law and the +Articles of Association of Sinopec Corp. +During this reporting period, the Board of +Supervisors held four (4) meetings in total, and +mainly reviewed and approved the proposals +in relation to the Company's periodic report, +financial statements, communication on +progress for sustainable development, internal +control assessment report and working report of +the Board of Supervisors etc. +57 +Risks with regard to the external purchase +of crude oil: A significant amount of crude +oil as needed by the Company is satisfied +through external purchases. In recent years, +especially influenced by the mismatch +between supply and demand of crude oil, +geopolitics, global economic growth and +other factors, the prices of crude oil fluctuate +sharply. Additionally, the supply of crude +oil may even be interrupted due to some +extreme major incidents in certain regions. +Although the Company has taken flexible +countermeasures, it may not fully avoid risks +associated with any significant fluctuation +of international crude oil prices and sudden +disruption of supply of crude oil from certain +regions. +Risks from the uncertainties of obtaining +additional oil and gas resources: The future +sustainable development of the Company +is partly dependent to a certain extent on +our abilities in continuously discovering +or acquiring additional oil and natural +gas resources. To obtain additional oil +and natural gas resources, the Company +faces some inherent risks associated with +exploration and development and/or with +acquisition activities, and the Company has +to invest a large amount of money with no +guarantee of certainty. If the Company fails +to acquire additional resources through +further exploration, development and +acquisition to increase the reserves of crude +oil and natural gas, the oil and natural gas +reserves and production of the Company +may decline over time which may adversely +affect the Company's financial situation and +operation performance. +stricter environment protection standards. +Under such situations, the Company +may increase expenses in relation to the +environment protection accordingly. +Our RMC is led by President of our Company, +related departments of headquarters, +Petroleum Exploration and Production +Research Institute of Sinopec (PEPRIS) and +senior managers of oilfield branches. Mr. +Liu Hongbin, the Chairman of RMC is Senior +Vice President of Sinopec Corp., with over 30 +years of experience in oil and gas industry. A +majority of our RMC members hold Ph.D. or +master's degrees, and our members have an +average of 20 years of technical experience +in relevant professional fields, such as +geology, engineering and economics. +We manage our reserves estimation through +a two-tier management system. Our Oil +and Natural Gas Reserves Management +Committee, or RMC, at the headquarters +level oversees the overall reserves estimation +process including organisation, coordination, +monitoring and major decision-making, +and reviews the reserves estimation of +our Company. Each of our branches has +a reserves management committee that +manages and coordinates the reserves +estimation, organises the estimation process +and reviews the reserve estimation report at +the branch level. +23 OIL & GAS RESERVE APPRAISAL +PRINCIPLES +As of 31 December 2019, the Company has +not entered into any equity-linked agreement. +22 EQUITY-LINKED AGREEMENTS +21 PERMITTED INDEMNITY PROVISIONS +During the reporting period, Sinopec Corp. +has purchased liability insurance for all +directors to minimise their risks arising +from the performance of their duties. The +permitted indemnity provisions are stipulated +in such directors liability insurance in +respect of the liabilities and costs associated +with the potential legal proceedings that may +be brought against such directors. +No contracts concerning management +or administration of the whole or any +substantial part of the business of the +Company were entered into or existed during +the reporting period. +Our reserves estimates are guided by +procedural manuals and technical guidance +formulated by the company. A number of +working divisions at the production bureau +level, including the exploration, development +and financial divisions are responsible +for initial collection and compilation of +information about reserves. Experts from +exploration, development and economic +divisions prepare the initial report on the +reserves estimate which is then reviewed by +the RMC at the subsidiary level to ensure the +qualitative and quantitative compliance with +technical guidance as well as its accuracy +and reasonableness. We also engage outside +consultants to assist in our compliance +with the rules and regulations of the U.S. +Securities and Exchange Commission. +Our reserves estimation process is further +facilitated by a specialised reserves +database, which is improved and updated +periodically. +20 MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS +As at the end of the reporting period, the +Company has resolved its competition with +Sinopec Group in the chemical business. For +details for the positions held by the directors +of Sinopec Corp. in the Sinopec Group +during the reporting period, please refer to +the section "Directors, Supervisors, Senior +Management and Employees" of this annual +report. +18 DIRECTORS' INTERESTS IN COMPETING +BUSINESS +During this reporting period, neither +Sinopec Corp. nor any of its subsidiaries +repurchased, sold or redeemed any listed +shares of Sinopec Corp. or its subsidiaries. +17 REPURCHASE, SALES AND REDEMPTION +OF SHARES +Pursuant to the Articles of Association +and the laws of the PRC, the shareholders +of Sinopec Corp. are not entitled to any +pre-emptive rights. Therefore the existing +shareholders cannot request Sinopec Corp. +for the right of first refusal in proportion to +their shareholdings. +16 PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +19 DIRECTORS' INTERESTS IN CONTRACTS +No director had a material interest, either +directly or indirectly, in any contract of +significance to the business of the Company +to which Sinopec Corp. or any of its holding +companies, subsidiaries or fellow subsidiaries +I was a party during the reporting period. +(4) The 7th meeting of the seventh session of +the Audit Committee was held by written +resolution on 29 October 2019, whereby +the third quarterly report for nine months +ended 30 September 2019 was approved +at the meeting. +24 CORE COMPETITIVENESS ANALYSIS +The Company is a large scale integrated +energy and petrochemical company with +upstream, mid-stream and downstream +operations. The Company is a large scaled +oil and gas producer in China; in respect +of refining capacity, it ranks first in China; +equipped with a well-developed refined oil +products sales network, the Company is the +largest supplier of refined oil products in +China; and in terms of ethylene production +capacity, the Company rank first in China, +and has a well-established marketing network +for chemical products. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Risks with regard to the changes from +environmental legislation requirements: +Our production activities generate waste +liquids, gases and solids. The Company has +built up the supporting effluent treatment +systems to prevent and reduce the pollution +to the environment. However, the relevant +government authorities may issue and +implement much stricter environmental +protection laws and regulations, adopt much +Risks from the macroeconomic policies +and government regulation: Although the +Chinese government is gradually liberalizing +the market entry regulations on petroleum +and petrochemicals sector, the petroleum +and petrochemical industries in China are +still subject to entry regulations to a certain +degree, which include: issuing licenses in +relation to exploration and development of +crude oil and natural gas, issuing business +licenses for trading crude oil and refined +oil, setting caps for retail prices of gasoline, +diesel and other oil products, the imposing +of the special oil income levy, formulation +of refined oil import and export quotas and +procedures, formulation of safety, quality +and environmental protection standards and +formulation of energy conservation policies. +In addition, the changes which have occurred +or might occur in macroeconomic and +industry policies such as the fully opening +up of exploration and mining rights, the +opening up of crude oil import licenses +and the right of tenure, removing the +restriction of share ratio of refining projects +to foreign enterprises, further improvement +in pricing mechanism of refined oil +products, cancellation of wholesale right and +decentralization of retail right of refined oil +products, and gas stations investment are +fully opened to foreign investment, reforming +and improvement in pricing mechanism of +natural gas, cost supervision of gas pipeline +and access to third party, and reforming +in resource tax and environmental tax, will +cause effects on our business operations. +Such changes might further intensify market +competition and have certain effect on the +operations and profitability of the Company. +Risks with regard to the cyclical effects +from the industry: The majority of the +Company's operating income comes from +the sales of refined oil products and +petrochemical products, and part of those +businesses and their related products are +cyclic and are sensitive to macro-economy, +cyclic changes of regional and global +economy, the changes of the production +capacity and output, demand of consumers, +prices and supply of the raw materials, as +well as prices and supply of the alternative +products etc. Although the Company is +an integrated company with upstream, +midstream and downstream operations, it +I can only counteract the adverse influences of +industry cycle to some extent. +Risks with regard to the variations from +macroeconomic situation: The business +results of the Company are closely related to +China's and global economic situation. The +development of Chinese economy has entered +New Normal. Although various countries have +adopted different kinds of macroeconomic +policies to eliminate negative effects caused +by lower growth of global economy, the +turnaround of economic recovery still +remains uncertain. The Company's business +could also be adversely affected by other +factors such as the impact on export due to +trade protectionism from certain countries, +impact on import which is likely caused by +regional trade agreements, and negative +impact on the investment of overseas oil +and gas exploration and development and +refining and chemical storage projects which +results from the uncertainty of geopolitics, +international crude oil price and etc. +In the course of its production and +operations, the Company will actively take +various measures to circumvent operational +risks. However, in practice, it may not be +possible to prevent the occurrence of all +risks and uncertainties described below. +25 RISK FACTORS +The integrated business structure of +the Company carries strong advantages +in synergy among its various business +segments, enabling the Company to +continuously tap onto potentials in attaining +an efficient and comprehensive utilisation +of its resources, and endowed the Company +with strong resistance against risks, as well +as remarkable capabilities in sustaining +profitability. +The Company always attaches great +importance to fulfilling social responsibilities, +and carries out the green and low carbon +development strategy to pursue a sustainable +development. Moreover, the Company enjoys +an outstanding "Sinopec" brand name, plays +an important role in the national economy +and is a renowned and reputable company in +China. +The Company owns a team of professionals +and expertise engaged in the production +of oil and gas, operation of refineries and +chemical plants, as well as marketing +activities. The Company applies outstanding +fine management measures with its +remarkable capabilities in management +of operations, and enjoys a favourable +operational cost advantage in its downstream +businesses. +The Company enjoys a favourable positioning +with its operations located close to the +consumer markets. Along with the steady +growth in the Chinese economy, sales volume +of both oil products and chemical products +of the Company has been increasing steadily +over the years; through continuous and +specialised marketing efforts, the Company's +capability in international operations and +market expansion has been further enhanced. +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED) +Report of the Board of Directors +56 +Report of the Board of Directors +55 +The Company has formulated a +well-established technology system and +mechanism, and owns competent teams +specialised in R&D covering a wide range of +subjects; the four platforms for technology +advancement is taking shape, which includes +exploration and development of oil and +gas, refining, petrochemicals and strategic +emerging technology.
