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.

Such assets and liabilities had been valued jointly by China United Assets +Appraisal Corporation, Beijing Zhong Zheng Appraisal Company, CIECC Assets Appraisal Corporation and Zhong Fa International Properties Valuation +Corporation. The net asset value was determined at RMB 98,249,084,000.

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. +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 +(5) Long-term equity investments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(c) The impairment assessment method and provision accrual on investment +(4) Functional currency and presentation currency +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Annual Report 2017 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. +(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. +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. +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. +(3) Cash and cash equivalents +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 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(4) Inventories +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. +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. +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. +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. +Inventories are recorded by perpetual method. +(5) Long-term equity investments +(a) Investment in subsidiaries +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: +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. +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. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +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. +At the balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. +The functional currency of the Company's and most of its subsidiaries are Renminbi. The Group's consolidated financial statements are +presented in Renminbi. The Company and its subsidiaries determine their functional currency according to the main economic environment in +where they operate. Some of subsidiaries use other currency as the functional currency. The Company translates the financial statements of +subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies into Renminbi (see Note 3(2)) if the subsidiaries' functional currencies are not Renminbi. +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. +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. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +The Group determines specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the characteristics of production and operational activities, +mainly reflected in the accounting for allowance for accounts receivable (Note 3(11)), valuation of inventories (Note 3(4)), depreciation of fixed +assets and depletion of oil and gas properties (Note 3(6), (7)), measurement of provisions (Note 3(15)), ect. +Principal accounting estimates and judgements of the Group are set out in Note 55. +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control +(a) Business combination involving entities 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 assets and liabilities that the acquirer receives in the acquisition are accounted for at the acquiree's carrying +amount on the acquisition date. 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. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer +effectively obtains control of the acquiree. +(b) Business combination involving entities not under common control +A business combination involving entities or businesses not under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining +entities or businesses are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination. 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(9)) 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. +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements +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. +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. +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 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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +91 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control (Continued) +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements (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. 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 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. +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. +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: +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. +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. +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 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.

assets which were still in use. +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. +At 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were pledged. +Impairment losses on fixed assets for the year ended 31 December 2017 primarily represent impairment losses recognised in the exploration and +production ("E&P") segment of RMB 12,611 million (2016: RMB 10,594 million) on fixed assets, for the chemicals segment of RMB 4,779 million +(2016: RMB 2,840 million) of fixed assets and for the refining segment of RMB 1,836 million (2016: RMB 1,245 million) of fixed assets. 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. +The additions to oil and gas properties of the Group and the Company for the year ended 31 December 2017 included RMB 1,627 million (2016: +RMB 3,420 million) (Note 32) and RMB 982 million (2016: RMB 2,939 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. +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. +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 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. +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). +Legal contingencies +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. +59 SEGMENT REPORTING +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. +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. +(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. +(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. +(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. +(iv) Chemicals which manufactures and sells petrochemical products, derivative petrochemical products and other chemical products to external +customers. +(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. +The segments were determined primarily because the Group manages its exploration and production, refining, marketing and distribution, +chemicals, and corporate and others businesses separately.

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. Management bases the estimates on the ageing of the accounts receivable balance, customer credit-worthiness, and historical write- +off experience. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated. +(d) Allowances for doubtful accounts +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. +(c) 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 "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. +(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. +Sinopec Yangzi Petrochemical Company Limited +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. +Sinopec Pipeline Storage & Transportation +Company Limited +Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Limited +RMB million +% +2017 +the Group +2017 +million +million +up capital +Principal activities +(d) Subsidiaries acquired through business combination not under common control: +Sinopec Zhanjiang Dongxing Petrochemical +Trading of crude oil and petroleum products +Gaoqiao Petrochemical Company Limited (Note 53) +Sinopec Qingdao Petrochemical Company Limited +Company Limited +(c) Subsidiaries acquired through business combination +Sinopec Hainan Refining and Chemical +Sinopec-SK(Wuhan) Petrochemical Company Limited +("Zhonghan Wuhan") +Sinopec Qingdao Refining and Chemical +Company Limited +Sinopec Beihai Refining and Chemical Limited +Liability Company +Sinopec Overseas Investment Holding Limited ("SOIH") +Sinopec Chemical Sales Company Limited +Sinopec Great Wall Energy & Chemical +Company Limited +Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and +Production Limited ("SIPL") +(b) Subsidiaries established by the Group: +Fujian Petrochemical Company Limited +("Fujian Petrochemical") (i) +Sinopec Kantons Holdings Limited ("Sinopec Kantons") +Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited +("Shanghai Petrochemical") +("Marketing Company") +Sinopec Marketing Company Limited +Liability Company +Sinopec Lubricant Company Limited +Trading of petrochemical products +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. +(a) Oil and gas properties and reserves +1,969 +2,763 +13 +12 +104 +19,416 +22,806 +3 +43 +20,385 +20,726 +570 +189 +12,827 +5,411 +33 +10,953 +12,884 +25 +40,073 +47,514 +RMB million +RMB million +33 +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +19 +18,111 +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.

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 22 and Note 30, respectively. +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 such risk. +(c) Commodity price risk +2016 +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. At 31 December 2017, the net fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB 515 million (2016: RMB 312 million) recognised in other receivables and derivative financial liabilities of RMB +2,624 million (2016: RMB 4,336 million) recognised in other payables. +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 year by approximately RMB 4,049 million (2016: decrease/increase RMB 634 million), and decrease/increase the Group's other +comprehensive income 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. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2016. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +145 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +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 RMB 327 +million). 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.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market +conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and +constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Internal audit department undertakes both regular +and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Group's audit committee. +Credit risk +Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, +and arises principally from the Group's deposits placed with financial institutions (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. +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. +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 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. +At 31 December 2017, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide the Group to borrow up to RMB +361,852 million (2016: RMB 256,375 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.40% (2016: 3.57%). 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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION

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. +The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance +with IFRSS and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is +necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. +As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, 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. +159 +Financial Statements (International) +REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL AUDITOR (CONTINUED) +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". +Key Audit Matter +Recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment +related to oil and gas producing activities +• 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. +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. +Future crude oil prices; +Future production profiles; +Future cost profiles; and +Discount rates. +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. +How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter +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: +• 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. +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. +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: +Selling, general and administrative expenses +• +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. +Year ended 31 December +2017 +RMB +2016 +RMB +Turnover and other operating revenues +Turnover +3 +Note +Other operating revenues +2,300,470 +59,723 +2,360,193 +1,880,190 +50,721 +1,930,911 +Operating expenses +Purchased crude oil, products and operating supplies and expenses +(1,770,651) +4 +• +(Amounts in million, except per share data) +(B) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED UNDER INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRS") +CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT +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 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 +(ii) Impairment of other long-lived assets is accounted as follows: +(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. +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. +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. +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. +(I) Derivative financial instruments +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). +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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. +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)). +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. +(k) Available-for-sale financial assets +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. +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 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. +(n) Hedging +(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. +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)). +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. +(t) Borrowing costs +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. +(v) Environmental expenditures +Environmental expenditures that relate to current ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed as incurred. +Liabilities related to future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or cleanups are probable and the costs can +be reliably estimated. 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. +(w) Research and development expense +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 6,423 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 (2016: RMB 5,941 million). +(x) Operating leases +Operating lease payments are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the respective leases. +(y) Employee benefits +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. Further information is set out in Note 37. +Termination benefits, such as employee reduction expenses, are recognised when, and only when, the Group demonstrably commits itself to +terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic +possibility of withdrawal. +Repairs and maintenance expenditure is expensed as incurred. +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(z) Income tax +Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. 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. +163 +(aa) Dividends +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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). +(u) Repairs and maintenance expenditure +A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred with no future related costs is recognised +as income in the period in which it becomes receivable. +Management assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for a long-lived 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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +165 +Financial Statements (International) +166 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Borrowing costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are +capitalised as being attributable to the construction of an asset which necessarily takes a period of time to get ready for its intended use. +(p) Trade, bills and other payables +(q) 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. +(r) 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. +(s) Revenue recognition +Revenues associated with the sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and chemical products and ancillary materials are recorded when the +customer accepts the goods and the significant risks and rewards of ownership and title have been transferred to the buyer. 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. +Interest income is recognised on a time apportioned basis that takes into account the effective yield on the asset. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +161 +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. +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)). +(a) Basis of consolidation +In the Company's balance sheet, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(o)). +(ii) Associates and joint ventures +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. +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. +The particulars of the Group's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 39. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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. Dividends +are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. +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. +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +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. +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. +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. +Financial Statements (International) +160 +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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. +Financial Statements (International) +162 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +(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(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. +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: +Estimated +Buildings +Equipment, machinery and others +Estimated +usage period +12 to 50 years +4 to 30 years +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +residuals rate +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, +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) 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 (Note 2(o)). The cost of lease prepayments is charged to expense on a straight-line basis +over the respective periods of the rights. +(i) Construction in progress +3% +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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.

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. +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +9 INTEREST EXPENSE +Interest expense incurred +(1,277) +RMB million +RMB million +26,668 +(72) +(1,394) +299 +(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 +83 +Note: +(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 +(72) +228 +16,279 +20,707 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +169 +Financial Statements (International) +(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. +(793) +(2,786) +(5,939) +(10,317) +21,313 +228 +(834) +16,279 +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 +(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 +10 TAX EXPENSE +(1,518) +73 +5 +2 +(51) +230 +159 +(12) +2 +13 +2017 +72 +2016 +RMB million +65,873 +8,981 +74,854 +55,502 +8,385 +63,887 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +167 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +RMB million +14,410 +RMB million +RMB million +12,104 +Turnover primarily represents revenue from the sales of crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products and chemical products. +4 OTHER OPERATING REVENUES +Sale of materials, service and others +Rental income +5 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES +The following items are included in selling, general and administrative expenses: +Operating lease charges +Auditor's remuneration: +- audit services +others +Impairment losses: +- trade accounts receivable +- other receivables +- accounts prepayments +6 PERSONNEL EXPENSES +Salaries, wages and other benefits +Contributions to retirement schemes (Note 37) +2017 +RMB million +58,930 +2016 +RMB million +49,812 +793 +59,723 +909 +50,721 +(1,489) +2016 +7 TAXES OTHER THAN INCOME TAX +Consumption tax (i) +2017 +Education surcharge +Resources tax +Jet fuel oil +2,109.76 +1,411.20 +2,105.20 +1,948.64 +1,711.52 +1,218.00 +1,495.20 +(ii) City construction tax is levied on an entity based on its total paid amount of value-added tax, consumption tax and business tax.

According to the JV Agreement, +the Company and SAMC jointly set up Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co., Ltd. for RMB 100 million in cash in 2016. Subsequently, the Company +subscribed capital contribution with the net assets of Gaoqiao Branch of the Company and SAMC subscribed capital contribution with the net +assets of Gaoqiao Branch of SAMC. The capital contribution was completed on 1 June 2016, after which the Company held 55% of Gaoqiao +Petrochemical Co., Ltd.'s voting rights and became the parent company of Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co., Ltd. +As Sinopec Group Company controls both the Group and SAMC, the non-cash transaction described above between Sinopec and SAMC has been +accounted as business combination under the common control and it has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements +as combination of entities under common control in a manner of predecessor value accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Gaoqiao +Branch of SAMC have been accounted for at historical cost, and the consolidated financial statements of the Group prior to these acquisitions +have been restated to include the results of operation and the assets and liabilities of Gaoqiao Branch of SAMC on a combined basis. +At the completion date, the non-controlling interests amount to RMB 2,137 million was recognized in relation to SAMC's 45% interest in Gaoqiao +Branch of the Company. +RMB million +(i) +244,211 +(ii) +(viii) +127 +129 +(ix) +807 +209 +(x) +554 +996 +(ix) +(7,441) +(21,770) +(xi) +5,279 +(24,877) +The amounts set out in the table above in respect of the year ended 31 December 2017 and 2016 represent the relevant costs and income as +determined by the corresponding contracts with the related parties. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +189 +Financial Statements (International) +456 +(2,115) +626 +449 +165,993 +RMB million +194,179 +118,242 +(iii) +7,716 +1,333 +(iv) +21,210 +27,201 +(v) +20,824 +10,816 +(vi) +6,653 +6,584 +(vii) +8,015 +10,474 +(vii) +510 +(vii) +2016 +23,547 +11 +658 +11,545 +10,669 +24,192 +22,872 +Management monitors the conditions that are subject to the guarantees to identify whether it is probable that a loss will occurr, and recognises any +such losses under guarantees when those losses are estimable.

Thus no liability has been accrued for a loss related to the Group's obligation under these guarantee +arrangements. +Note: +(ii) 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 and guaranteed by the Group was RMB 13,520 million. +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. +9,732 +The Group paid normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB 7,851 million in the consolidated financial statements for the year +ended 31 December 2017 (2016: RMB 6,358 million). +The Group is defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

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 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. +Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +31 December +2017 +RMB million +41 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +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 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 +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. +Depreciation +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +203 +Oil and gas properties and reserves +Carrying amount +Fair value +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: +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. +291 +733 +2,586 +2,586 +1,886 +1,886 +262 +762 +1,024 +4,472 +4,472 +During the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2016, there was no transfer among instruments in Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +201 +Financial Statements (International) +202 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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 +Financial Statements (International) +204 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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 +Total non-current assets +733 +Long-term prepayments and other assets +Deferred tax assets +for the year ended 31 December 2017 +41 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +Impairment for bad and doubtful debts +Management estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the Group's customers to make the required +payments. Management bases the estimates on the ageing of the accounts receivable balance, customer credit-worthiness, and historical write-off +experience. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated. +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. +42 PARENT AND ULTIMATE HOLDING COMPANY +The directors consider the parent and ultimate holding company of the Group as at 31 December 2017 is Sinopec Group Company, a state-owned +enterprise established in the PRC.

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.

+Annual Report 2017 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Table V: Standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows +The standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows, related to the above proved oil and gas reserves, is calculated in accordance with the +requirements of ASU 2010-03 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 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. This discounting +requires a year-by-year estimate of when the future expenditure will be incurred and when the reserves will be produced. +The information provided does not represent management's estimate of the Group's and its equity method investments' expected future cash flows or +value of proved oil and gas reserves. Estimates of proved reserve quantities are imprecise and change over time as new information becomes available. +Moreover, probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. The arbitrary valuation requires +assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs. The calculations are made for the years ended 31 December +2017 and 2016 and should not be relied upon as an indication of the Group's and its equity method investments' future cash flows or value of its oil +and gas reserves. +6,985 +Total +11,149 +628,187 +639,336 +(292,789) +Future production costs +Future cash flows +China +Other +countries +China +Total +(287,914) +6,997 +End of year +19 +1,552 +1,216 +336 +2,243 +1,902 +341 +End of year +1,599 +1,261 +338 +1,552 +1,216 +336 +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves +(gas) (billion cubic feet) +Beginning of year +7,178 +7,160 +18 +7,570 +7,551 +2016 +RMB million +2017 +RMB million +Other +countries +FEFEREN +9.9 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2017 +The first phase of Wen 23 gas storage +project mainly consists of construction +of injection and production wells and +surface facilities with storage capacity +of 8.431 billion cubic meters.

In addition, the operating revenue data of each segment include other operating +revenues. +The following table shows the operating revenues by each segment, the contribution of external sales and inter-segment sales as a percentage +of operating revenues before elimination of inter-segment sales, and the contribution of external sales as a percentage of consolidated operating +revenues (i.e. after elimination of inter-segment sales) for the periods indicated. +As a percentage of +consolidated operating +revenue before elimination +of inter-segment sales +Year ended 31 December +As a percentage of +consolidated operating +revenue after elimination +of inter-segment sales +Year ended 31 December +Operating revenues +Year ended 31 December +2017 +RMB million +2016 +RMB million +2017 +(%) +2016 +(%) +Operating revenues +Exploration and Production Segment +External sales* +Inter-segment sales +(7) Profit attributable to non-controlling +interests was RMB 19.2 billion, +representing an increase of RMB 6.4 +billion compared with 2016. +(6) Tax expense was RMB 16.3 billion, +representing a decrease of 21.4% year on +year. That was mainly due to the increase +in exempt investment income. +(5) Profit before taxation was RMB 86.7 +billion, after eliminating the impact +of capital injection of the Sichuan-to- +East China Pipeline Co. in 2016 and +acquisition of interest in Shanghai SECCO +in 2017, it represents an increase of +38.9% compared with 2016. +(4) Net finance costs were RMB 1.6 billion, +representing a decrease of 76.4% +over 2016, of which: interest expense +decreased by RMB 2.1 billion over +2016 as a result of significant reduction +in interest bearing debt; net income +from foreign exchange was RMB 0.3 +billion, increased by RMB 0.9 billion as +compared with 2016; interest income +increased by RMB 2.0 billion as a result +of increased cash reserve as compared +with the same period of 2016. +Management's Discussion +and Analysis +MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) +Most crude oil and a small portion of +natural gas produced by the Company +were internally used for refining and +chemical production, with the remaining +sold to external customers. In 2017, the +turnover from crude oil, natural gas and +other upstream products sold externally +amounted to RMB 69.2 billion, an +increase of 45.8% over 2016. The change +I was mainly due to the increase in crude +oil prices and sales volume of natural gas +in 2017. +In 2017, petroleum products (mainly +consisting of refined oil products and +other refined petroleum products) sold +by Refining Segment and Marketing and +Distribution Segment achieved external +sales revenues of RMB 1,324.4 billion, +accounting for 56.1% of the Company's +turnover and other operating revenues, +representing an increase of 17.2% +over 2016, mainly due to the increase +in various refined oil products' prices. +The sales revenue of gasoline, diesel +and kerosene was RMB 1120.4 billion, +representing an increase of 14.8% +over 2016, and accounting for 84.6% +of the total sales revenue of petroleum +products. Turnover of other refined +petroleum products was RMB 204.0 +billion, representing an increase of +31.8% compared with 2016, accounting +for 15.4% of the total sales revenue of +petroleum products. +Chemical products sold by Chemicals +Segment achieved external sales revenue +of RMB 373.8 billion, representing an +increase of 31.5% over 2016, accounting +for 15.8% of the Company's total +turnover and other operating revenues. +This was mainly due to the increase +in price and sales volume of chemical +products. +(2) Operating expenses +In 2017, the Company's operating +expenses were RMB 2,288.7 billion, +increased by 23.5% compared with 2016, +and it is mainly due to the increase in +prices of crude oil and other related +petroleum and chemical products. The +operating expenses mainly consisted of +the following: +Purchased crude oil, products and +operating supplies and expenses were +RMB 1,770.7 billion, representing an +increase of 28.3% over the same period +of 2016, accounting for 77.4% of the +total operating expenses, of which: +Refining Segment +Crude oil purchasing expenses were RMB +497.1 billion, representing an increase +of 33.0% over the same period of 2016. +Throughput of crude oil purchased +externally in 2017 was 211.03 million +tonnes (excluding the volume processed +for third parties), representing an +increase of 4.3% over the same period +of 2016. The average cost of crude oil +purchased externally was RMB 2,655 per +tonne, representing an increase by 27.4% +over 2016. +The Company's purchasing expense +related to trading activities were RMB +503.9 billion, representing an increase +of 27.7% over the same period of 2016. +This was mainly due to the increase in +prices of externally purchased crude oil +and refined oil products in the trading +business. +The Company's other purchasing +expenses were RMB 469.2 billion, +representing an increase of 27.6% over +the same period of 2016. This was +mainly due to the increase in prices of +externally purchased oil related products +in line with the increase in prices of +crude oil. +Selling, general and administrative +expenses were RMB 65.0 billion, +representing an increase of 1.0% over +2016. +Depreciation, depletion and amortisation +were RMB 115.3 billion, representing +an increase of RMB 6.9 billion and +6.4% as compared with 2016. That was +mainly due to the depreciation, depletion +and amortisation of the Exploration & +Development Segment, which increased +by RMB 4.9 billion over 2016. +Exploration expenses were RMB 11.1 +billion, representing an increase of 0.5% +year on year. +Personnel expenses were RMB 74.9 +billion, representing an increase of 17.2% +over 2016. That was mainly because +the Company promoted the reform of +employment system, transferred some +labours into contracted employees, which +increased salary and other expenses. To +implement the requirement of deepening +the reform as required by the Central +government, the Company handed over +parts of its subsidiaries' social insurance +to local government, and paid relevant +fees according to the local government's +requirements. As the Company improved +its profit in 2017, income of employee +was increased accordingly in line with its +incentive mechanism. +Taxes other than income tax were RMB +235.3 billion, representing an increase of +1.4% compared with 2016. +Other operating (expense)/income, net +were RMB 16.6 billion, increased by +RMB 22.2 billion over the same period of +2016. That was mainly due to the non- +operating income from capital injection of +Sichuan-to-East China Pipeline Co. +(3) Operating profit was RMB 71.5 billion, +representing a decrease of 7.4% +compared with 2016.

As +cyber-security attacks continue to evolve, +we may be required to expend additional +resources to enhance our protective +measures against cyber-security breaches. +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 +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. +of international crude oil prices and sudden +disruption of supply of crude oil from certain +regions. +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. +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. +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 +During this reporting period, changes to the +fixed assets of the Company are set out in +Note 16 to the financial statements prepared +in accordance with IFRS in this annual +report. +for registration.

We also: +PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP +Shanghai, the People's Republic of China +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. +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 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. +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. +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. +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. +Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. +• +• +• +• +• 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. +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by +management. +2017 +49,277 +RMB million +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 +765 +Net increase in specific reserve for the year +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. +Change +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. It will +strengthen construction of its systems, improve +management, and better mobilize initiatives in +every aspect so as to constantly increase the +ability to create synergies, raise efficiency and +mitigate risks. +The Company will focus on promoting structural +adjustment and continuously improving its +core competence. In the upstream business, +the Company will implement the action plan of +vigorously enhancing oil and gas exploration +and development, focusing on high-quality +exploration and profit-driven production, and +further consolidating the oil and gas resource +base. In the meantime, the Company will adopt +an integrated approach to the clean and efficient +use of new energy, renewable energy and coal +resources, and promote diversification of the +energy mix. 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 +Items +Net cash flow from operating activities +732,888 +Operating income +(11.3) +101,474 +90,025 +2,360,193 +2.6 +2,966,193 +RMB million +% +RMB million +RMB million +Profit before taxation +Operating profit +Net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company +Net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company +excluding extraordinary gains and losses +Operating income +Items +86,965 +90,016 +2,891,179 +(10.4) +Items +(12.8) +100,502 +175,868 +45,582 +59,630 +54,271 +153,420 +Net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company excluding +extraordinary gains and losses +Net cash flow from operating activities +(9.0) +51,119 +(8.7) +63,089 +57,591 +Net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company +86,573 +190,935 +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. +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 +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. +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. +(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. +(10) Goodwill +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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 as financial assets held for trading. +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +(i) Classification and measurement +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.

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.

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.

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.

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. +(16) Provisions +Where the present obligations of financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the Group derecognises these financial liabilities +or discharged parts of obligations.

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. +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. +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.

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.

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.

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. 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 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). +(12) Impairment of other non-financial long-term assets (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +Financial Statements (PRC) +98 +Financial Statements (PRC) +97 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +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.

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. +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. +(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.

The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree. +(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 assets and liabilities that the acquirer receives in the acquisition are accounted for at the acquiree's carrying +amount on the acquisition date. 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. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer +effectively obtains control of the acquiree. +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control +Principal accounting estimates and judgements of the Group are set out in Note 56. +The Group determines specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the characteristics of production and operational activities, +mainly reflected in the accounting for allowance for financial assets (Note 3(11)), valuation of inventories (Note 3(4)), depreciation of fixed assets +and depletion of oil and gas properties (Note 3(7), (8)), measurement of provisions (Note 3(16)), etc. +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +90 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +(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. +(a) Business combination involving entities under common control +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. +(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates +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(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. +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. +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. +(4) Inventories (Continued) +(3) Cash and cash equivalents +(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. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +At the balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. +Financial Statements (PRC) +92 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +91 +Provision for +impairment +Balance at 31 December 2019 +losses +RMB million +(1,686) +in associates +RMB million +90,273 +57,134 +joint ventures +RMB million +Investments +Investments in +Movement of provision for impairment +Additions for the year +Dividends declared +Other equity movements under the equity method +Change of other comprehensive income under the equity method +Share of profits less losses under the equity method +Balance at 1 January 2019 +The Company +Balance at 31 December 2019 +Total +RMB million +Movement of provision for impairment +Disposals for the year +2,884 +(398) +4,385 +Other movements +(25) +(25) +519 +(27) +267 +279 +(466) +(68) +(10,189) +(3,695) +(6,494) +93 +(810) +12,777 +145,721 +4,581 +(8) +101 +(22) +(788) +8,392 +1,697 +Foreign currency translation differences +Spare parts and consumables +Dividends declared +2018 +At 31 December +RMB million +At 31 December +2019 +3 +Finished goods +Work in progress +Raw materials +The Group +RMB million +12 INVENTORIES +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +106 +Financial Statements (PRC) +105 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +During the year ended 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Group and the Company had no individually significant write-off or recovery of doubtful +debts which had been fully or substantially provided for in prior years. +During the year ended 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Group and the Company had no individually significant other receivables been fully or +substantially provided allowance for doubtful accounts. +2018 +6,837 +Within one year +25.5% +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +Disposals for the year +88,465 +12,615 +Other equity movements under the equity method +Change of other comprehensive loss under the equity method +Share of profits less losses under the equity method +Additions for the year +Balance at 1 January 2019 +The Group +13 LONG-TERM EQUITY INVESTMENTS +For the year ended 31 December 2019, the provision for diminution in value of inventories of the Group was primarily due to the costs of finished +goods were higher than net realisable value. +184,584 +85,469 +6,376 +Total +Less: Provision for diminution in value of inventories +190,960 +195,024 +2,872 +2,576 +88,929 +91,368 +13,690 +2,582 +192,442 +3 +104 +(7,879) +96,481 +ΝΑ +Cyprus +Russia +Taihu Limited ("Taihu") +petrochemical products +and distribution of +40.00% +12,704 +Manufacturing +Crude oil and natural gas +extraction +Hong Jianqiao +PRC +BASF YPC Company Limited ("BASF-YPC") +50.00% +14,758 +Manufacturing refining oil +products +Gu Yuefeng +PRC +PRC +Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Company +Limited ("FREP") +PRC +1.

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. +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. +Impairment losses on fixed assets for the year ended 31 December 2019 primarily represent impairment losses recognised in the refining +segment of RMB 140 million (2018: RMB 353 million), the marketing and 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). +At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were pledged. +At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were temporarily +idle or pending for disposal. +At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fully depreciated fixed assets which +were still in use. +1,853 +3,275 +321 +3,506 +Long-term loans from Sinopec Group Company and +- US Dollar loans +35 +6.8632 +5 +12,039 +1,765 +25 +6.9762 +4 +- Renminbi loans +Long-term bank loans +RMB +million +Exchange +rates +fellow subsidiaries +currency +million +Exchange +rates +At 31 December 2018 +Original +Original +currency +million +At 31 December 2019 +The Group's non-current liabilities due within one year represent: +30 NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES DUE WITHIN ONE YEAR +At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, other payables of the Group over one year primarily represented payables for constructions. +87,060 +69,339 +10,469 +8,144 +138 +136 +RMB +million +6,699 +- Renminbi loans +Debentures payable due within one year +31 December 2019 with maturities +through 2034 +Interest rates ranging from interest +1.08% to 5.23% per annum at +- US Dollar loans +- Renminbi loans +Long-term bank loans +Interest rate and final maturity +The Group's long-term loans represent: +31 LONG-TERM LOANS +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +118 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +117 +Long-term loans due within one year +1,015 +17,450 +At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, the Group had no significant overdue long-term loans. +69,490 +1,678 +15,198 +13,000 +13,000 +39,614 +37,824 +Non-current liabilities due within one year +Others +Lease liabilities due within one year +Debentures payable due within one year +- Renminbi debentures +4,361 +16,435 +Interest rates ranging from interest +1.55% to 4.29% per annum at +31 December 2019 with maturities +through 2031 +3,264 +52,863 +25 +31,196 +1,441 +0.8762 +1,645 +495 +0.8958 +7.8155 +553 +3 +22,780 +6.8632 +3,319 +2,236 +6.9762 +3,061 +3 +2,709 +5,465 +300 +22 +300 +22 +3,887 +6.8632 +566 +90 +6.9762 +13 +13,201 +25,619 +27,304 +9,810 +59,944 +7.8473 +At 31 December 2019, the Group's interest rates on short-term loans were from interest 0.80% to 6.53% (At 31 December 2018: from interest 0.80% +to 5.22%) per annum.

These deductible losses carried forward of RMB 3,163 million, RMB 3,156 million, +RMB 5,938 million, RMB 2,356 million and RMB 1,992 million will expire in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and after, respectively. +5,948 +21,694 +RMB million +2018 +21 OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS +(41) +1,848 +Prepayments +1,616 +6,376 +2345 +3,384 +1 +(68) +(455) +1,766 +2,140 +1,456 +1 +(24) +(167) +165 +1,481 +11 +80 +- +(3) +(5) +35 +53 +10 +Intangible assets +Construction in progress +Fixed assets +Long-term equity investments +Inventories +Other receivables +RMB +million +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +Land +198,051 +25,126 +Kerosene +Basic chemical feedstock +Crude oil +Diesel +Gasoline +Income from principal operations +1,063 +2,891,179 +1,216 +2,966,193 +64,503 +64,489 +65,566 +65,705 +335,357 +367,339 +43,205 +53,839 +77,572 +80,100 +Synthetic resin +Synthetic fiber monomers and polymers +Natural gas +Others (i) +18,237 +16,247 +201,901 +202,671 +Others +Total +Education surcharge +Resources tax +City construction tax +Consumption tax +RMB million +RMB million +2018 +2019 +The Group +41 TAXES AND SURCHARGES +(i) Others are primarily liquefied petroleum gas and other refinery and chemical by-products and joint products. +Note: +Total +Rental income +Income from other operations +124,618 +124,271 +168,823 +191,636 +984,185 +RMB million +2019 +The Company +2,891,179 +2,401,012 +2,966,193 +2,488,852 +65,566 +65,705 +37,087 +2,825,613 +RMB million +2018 +RMB million +2019 +The Group +Operating costs +Total +Income from other operations +2,900,488 +2018 +RMB million +1,022,195 +250,884 +214,911 +519,910 +553,848 +594,008 +615,342 +711,236 +699,202 +2,825,613 +2,900,488 +RMB million +2018 +2019 +RMB million +The detailed information about the Group's operating income is as follows: +The income from principal operations mainly represents revenue from the sales of refined petroleum products, chemical products, crude oil and +natural gas.

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. +(a) Oil and gas properties and reserves +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. +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. +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. +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. +(b) Impairment for assets +If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered “impaired", and +an impairment loss may be 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 +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. +(d) Measurement of 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. The Group regularly monitors and reviews the assumptions used for estimating +expected credit losses. +(e) 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 would be higher than estimated. +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. +RMB million +70.42 +HKD 248

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. +The Group recognised 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 +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. +For the year ended 31 December 2019 +60 SEGMENT REPORTING +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. +(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. +(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. +(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. +(iv) Chemicals which manufactures and sells petrochemical products, derivative petrochemical products and other chemical products to external +customers. +(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. +The segments were determined primarily because the Group manages its exploration and production, refining, marketing and distribution, +chemicals, and corporate and others businesses separately. 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. +(1) Information of reportable segmental revenues, profits or losses, assets and liabilities +The Group's chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on an operating profit +basis, without considering the effects of finance costs or investment income. Inter-segment transfer pricing is based on the market price or cost +plus an appropriate margin, as specified by the Group's policy. +Assets and liabilities dedicated to a particular segment's operations are included in that segment's total assets and liabilities. Segment assets +include all tangible and intangible assets, except for cash at bank and on hand, long-term equity investments, deferred tax assets and other +unallocated assets. Segment liabilities exclude short-term loans, non-current liabilities due within one year, long-term loans, debentures payable, +deferred tax liabilities, other non-current liabilities and other unallocated liabilities. +136 +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's operating segments.

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. +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.

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%. +(5,984) +(6,161) +(13,700) +(7,354) +Distributions by subsidiaries to non-controlling interests +Interest paid +Principal activities +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. +Organisation +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. +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. +Basis of preparation +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable IFRS as issued by the International +Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

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 (Note 1); and (ii) the difference between the considerations paid over or received the amount of the net assets of +entities and related

(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”). +(b) The usage of the discretionary surplus reserve is similar to that of statutory surplus reserve. +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. +(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 ("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. +875,835 +738,150 +1 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, ORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION +Emoluments paid +1,400 +Johnny Karling Ng +Supervisors +Zhao Dong +Jiang Zhenying +Yang Changjiang +Zhang Baolong +Zou Huiping +Yu Xizhi +Zhou Hengyou +Yu Renming +Total +Emoluments paid or receivable in respect of director's +other services in connection with the management of the +affairs of the Company or its subsidiary undertaking +2019 +Retirement +scheme +contributions +RMB'000 +Salaries, +allowances and +benefits in kind +RMB'000 +Bonuses +RMB'000 +or receivable +in respect of a +person's services +as a director, +whether of the +Company or +its subsidiary +undertaking +Directors'/ +Cai Hongbin +Supervisors' fee +Fan Gang +Independent non-executive directors +20,213 +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. +11 DIRECTORS' AND SUPERVISORS' EMOLUMENTS +(a) Directors' and supervisors' emoluments +The emoluments of every director and supervisor is set out below: +Name +Directors +Dai Houliang +Ma Yongsheng +Li Yunpeng +Yu Baocai +Ling Yiqun +Liu Zhongyun (i) +Li Yong +Tang Min +9,745 +RMB'000 +294 +369 +880 +88 +1,337 +369 +874 +88 +1,331 +369 +889 +88 +1,346 +2,139 +5,670 +536 +1,446 +Total +RMB'000 +88 +369 +1,173 +96 +369 +865 +88 +1,563 +350 +350 +350 +350 +350 +350 +350 +350 +1,322 +989 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +(e) Inventories +Financial Statements (International) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +161 +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. +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. +(ii) Impairment +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. +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. +Equity instruments +• 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. +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. +(j) Financial assets (Continued) +(ii) Impairment (Continued) +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 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. +A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in cash flows are expected to offset changes in cash flows of the hedged item. +17,894 +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 (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. +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. +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting +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. +• +Where the present obligations of financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the Group derecognises these financial liabilities or +discharged parts of obligations.

These +financial assets are measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. +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.

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. +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. +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. +(d) Trade, bills and other receivables +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +(f) Property, plant and equipment +169 +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.

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 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.

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)). +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 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. +(i) Goodwill +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. +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +160 +No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress. +Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when the asset is substantially ready for its intended use. +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)).

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. +(aa) Dividends +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.

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. +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 +(n) Impairment of assets (Continued) +(n) Impairment of 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 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. +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. +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): +(i) The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and +(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. +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 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. +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. +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 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. The cost of lease prepayments is charged to expense on a straight-line +basis over the respective periods of the rights. +Operating leases +Operating lease payments are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the respective leases. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +165 +Financial Statements (International) +166 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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 +2019 +(x) Leases +(w) Research and development expense +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.

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

Because of these relationships, it is possible that the terms +of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties. +(a) Transactions with Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures +Parties are considered to be related to the Group if the Group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or jointly control the party or exercise +significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Group and the party are subject to +control or common control. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their +close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the Group where those +parties are individuals, and post-employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the Group or of any entity that is a related +party of the Group. +38 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +186 +The Group is 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 9,235 million in the consolidated financial statements for the year +ended 31 December 2019 (2018: RMB 7,940 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 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. +Environmental contingencies +(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. +(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.

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 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. +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. +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. +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. +The Group's cash deposits are placed only with large financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings, and there is no material impairment +loss identified. +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. +(ii) Impairment of financial assets +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. +Liquidity risk +Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual +obligations, and arises principally from the Group's deposits placed with financial institutions (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. +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 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. +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. +• market risk. +liquidity risk; and +⚫credit risk; +The Group has exposure to the following risks from its uses of financial instruments: +Financial assets of the Group include 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, amounts due from Sinopec Group Company and fellow +subsidiaries, amounts due from associates and joint ventures, financial assets at FVOCI and other receivables. Financial liabilities of the Group +include short-term debts, loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, derivative financial liabilities, trade accounts payable and bills +payable, amounts due to Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, amounts due to associates and joint ventures, other payables, long-term +debts and lease liabilities. +Overview +42 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +(i) Risk management +356,257 +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 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 current +at the balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Group would be required to repay: +985 +15,676 +16,488 +367,711 +192,872 +Lease liabilities +43,623 +54,508 +52,915 +fellow subsidiaries +Loans from Sinopec Group Company and +30,491 +25,189 +6,271 +42,240 +952 +As at 31 December 2019, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide borrowings 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%).

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. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2018. +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). +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. +Commodity price risk +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. +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.

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. +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2019 +40 SEGMENT REPORTING (Continued) +(1) Information of reportable segmental revenues, profits or losses, assets and liabilities +The Group's chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on an operating profit +basis, without considering the effects of finance costs or investment income. Inter-segment transfer pricing is based on the market price or cost +plus an appropriate margin, as specified by the Group's policy. +Assets and liabilities dedicated to a particular segment's operations are included in that segment's total assets and liabilities. Segment assets +include all tangible and intangible assets, except for interest in associates and joint ventures, investments, deferred tax assets, cash and cash +equivalents, time deposits with financial institutions and other unallocated assets. Segment liabilities exclude short-term debts, income tax +payable, long-term debts, loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, deferred tax liabilities and other unallocated liabilities. +Information of the Group's reportable segments is as follows: +Turnover +Exploration and production +External sales +Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's business segments. The format is based on the Group's management and internal +reporting structure. +40 SEGMENT REPORTING +As stipulated by the regulations of the PRC, the Group participates in various defined contribution retirement plans organised by municipal and +provincial governments for its staff. The Group is required to make contributions to the retirement plans at rates ranging from 13.0% to 20.0% of +the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of its staff. In addition, the Group provides a supplementary retirement plan for its staff at rates not +exceeding 8% of the salaries. The Group has no other material obligation for the payment of pension benefits associated with these plans beyond +the annual contributions described above.

The calculations are made for the years ended 31 December +2019 and 2018 and should not be relied upon as an indication of the Group's and its equity method investments' future cash flows or value of its oil +and gas reserves. +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. This discounting requires a year-by-year estimate of when the future +expenditure will be incurred and when the reserves will be produced. +Table V: Standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +China +1,261 +1,599 +327 +(3) +2 +End of year +Beginning of year +Proved undeveloped reserves +End of year +Beginning of year +Proved developed reserves +(1) +(3) +(1) +31 +13 +38 +38 +45 +33 +33 +38 +85 +13 +(376,532) +(3) +9 +1,339 +1,666 +Beginning of year +(oil) (million barrels) +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves +Total of the Group and its equity method investments +2 +12 +222 +(3) +13 +9 +9 +12 +12 +13 +13 +13 +13 +9 +13 +45 +(5,361) +(27,065) +10% annual discount for estimated timing +26,251 +26,251 +19,057 +19,057 +2018 +(5,632) +(5,632) +(3,995) +(3,995) +Future income tax expenses +(4,433) +(4,433) +(5,603) +(5,603) +Future development costs +(12,462) +(12,462) +48,778 +of cash flows +(8,852) +(8,852) +(13,012) +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +Supplemental Information on Oil and +Financial Statements +209 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +15,993 +291,463 +307,456 +10,882 +48,778 +290,320 +investments' results of standardised measure +of discounted future net cash flows +Total of the Group's and its equity method +13,239 +13,239 +10,205 +10,205 +net cash flows +Standardised measure of discounted future +(13,012) +301,202 +41,796 +(13,141) +(13,141) +Future production costs +10% annual discount for estimated timing +3,047 +418,080 +421,127 +705 +416,495 +417,200 +Undiscounted future net cash flows +(2,077) +of cash flows +(40,651) +(1,086) +(39,634) +(40,720) +Future income tax expenses +(3,010) +(19,300) +(22,310) +(4,849) +(22,216) +(42,728) +Future development costs +(126,203) +(28) +41,796 +Future cash flows +Equity method investments +1,239 +1,239 +305 +305 +to non-controlling interests +Discounted future net cash flows attributable +(126,175) +2,754 +294,217 +677 +290,320 +290,997 +net cash flows +Standardised measure of discounted future +(293) +(126,617) +(126,910) +291,463 +38 +Undiscounted future net cash flows +261 +6,985 +6,793 +6,793 +Beginning of year +(gas) (billion cubic feet) +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves +1 +95 +96 +107 +107 +End of year +137 +137 +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) +6,985 +Revisions of previous estimates +123 +123 +7,216 +7,216 +End of year +(974) +(974) +(1,044) +(1,044) +680 +680 +(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value +875 +142 +142 +469 +469 +Production +Extensions and discoveries +Improved recovery +(40) +(40) +875 +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 +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 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. +Measurement of expected credit losses +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +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 +261 +201 +6,793 +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. +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. +31 December +2018 +63,946 +62,594 +RMB million +63,085 +62,656 +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. +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. +Depreciation +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 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) +Impairment for long-lived assets +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. +6,793 +31 December +2019 +RMB million +Beginning of year +(28) +(28) +(28) +(28) +5 +5 +25 +25 +4 +4 +2 +2 +Proved developed reserves +End of year +Production +Extensions and discoveries +Improved recovery +306 +12 +12 +290 +299 +299 +Beginning of year +245 +Proved developed reserves +245 +End of year +Production +Extensions and discoveries +Improved recovery +Revisions of previous estimates +Beginning of year +(8) +(billion cubic feet) +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves +End of year +Proved undeveloped reserves +End of year +Beginning of year +273 +273 +261 +261 +of associates and joint ventures (gas) +(8) +290 +306 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +971 +971 +1,190 +1,190 +End of year +985 +971 +971 +Beginning of year +Proved undeveloped reserves +5,822 +5,822 +6,026 +6,026 +End of year +6,000 +6,000 +Revisions of previous estimates +5,822 +5,822 +207 +Financial Statements +985 +299 +299 +Supplemental Information on Oil and +Beginning of year +associates and joint ventures (oil) (million barrels) +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves of +Equity method investments +China +Total +Other +countries +China +Other +countries +2019 +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +2018 +Financial Statements +Supplemental Information on Oil and +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +208 +Table IV: Reserve quantities information (Continued) +Total +No.22 Chaoyangmen North Street, +United States of America +COPIES OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT ARE +AVAILABLE AT +388 Greenwich St., 14th Floor +The PRC: +China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation +London E14 5LB, U.K. +Board Secretariat +New York NY 10013 +Chaoyang District +Citigroup Centre +The US: +Citibank, N.A. +388 Greenwich St., 14th Floor +New York NY 10013 +USA +The UK: +Citibank, N.A. +Canada Square, Canary Wharf +Citibank, N.A. +Beijing, PRC +DEPOSITARY FOR ADRS +The US: +People's Republic of China: +183 Queen's Road East +No change during the reporting period +LEGAL ADVISORS +PLACES OF LISTING OF SHARES, STOCK +Haiwen & Partners +20th Floor, Fortune Financial Centre +No. 5, Dong San Huan Central Road +Chaoyang District +Beijing PRC +Postcode: 100020 +Hong Kong: +Herbert Smith Freehills +Hong Kong +23rd Floor, Gloucester Tower +Central, Hong Kong +U.S.A.: +Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP +30/F, China World Office 2 +No. 1, Jian Guo Men Wai Avenue, +Beijing, PRC +REGISTRARS +A Shares: +China Securities Registration and Clearing +Company Limited Shanghai Branch Company +36th Floor, China Insurance Building +166 Lujiazui East Road +Shanghai, PRC +H Shares: +Hong Kong Registrars Limited +R1712·1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre +15 Queen's Road +NAMES AND STOCK CODES +中國北京市朝陽區朝陽門北大街22號 +Shanghai Stock Exchange +Documents for Inspection +DOCUMENTS FOR INSPECTION +212 +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +The following documents will be available for +inspection during normal business hours after +27 March 2020 at the registered address of +Sinopec Corp. upon requests by the relevant +regulatory authorities and shareholders in +accordance with the Articles of Association and +the laws and regulations of PRC: +a) The original copies of the 2019 annual report +signed by Mr. Zhang Yuzhuo, the Chairman;

This was mainly +due to the decrease in price of chemical +products, which resulting from the +increase of supply in chemical market. +In 2019, petroleum products (mainly +consisting of refined oil products and +other refined petroleum products) sold +by Refining Segment and Marketing and +Distribution Segment achieved external +sales revenues of RMB 1,535.2 billion +(accounting for 51.8% of the Company's +turnover and other operating revenues), +representing a decrease of 1.5% over +2018, mainly due to the decrease in +petroleum products' prices. The sales +revenue of gasoline, diesel and kerosene +was RMB 1,303.6 billion, representing +a decrease of 1.1% over 2018, and +accounting for 85% of the total sales +revenue of petroleum products. Turnover +of other refined petroleum products +was RMB 231.6 billion, representing a +decrease of 3.4% compared with 2018, +accounting for 15% of the total sales +revenue of petroleum products. +Most crude oil and a small portion of +natural gas produced by the Company +were internally used for refining and +chemical production, with the remaining +sold to external customers.

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. +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. +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +54 +54 +amounted to RMB 0.209 billion. +INTERNAL CONTROL +The Board is fully responsible for establishing +and maintaining the internal control system +related to the financial statements as well +as ensuring its effective implementation. In +2019, the Board assessed and evaluated the +internal control of Sinopec Corp. according +to the Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal +Control, Application Guidelines for Enterprise +Internal Control and Assessment Guidelines +for Enterprise Internal Control. There were +no material defects in relation to the internal +control system as of 31 December 2019. +The internal control system of Sinopec Corp. +related to the financial statements is sound +and effective. +2019 Internal Control Assessment Report of +Sinopec Corp. was reviewed and approved +at the 12th meeting of the seventh Session +of the Board on 27 March 2020, and all +members of the Board warrant that the +contents of the report are true, accurate +and complete, and there are no false +representations, misleading statements or +material omissions contained in the report. +9 DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD, THE +IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL +POLICIES BY THE COMPANY +Details with regard to the Company's +performance in relation to environmental +and social-related policies and performances +are provided in the Chairman's Address and +Business Review and Prospects in this annual +report as well as the 2019 Communication +on Progress for the Sustainable Development +of Sinopec Corp. Those disclosures in +relation to the environmental policies +constitute part of the Report of the Board of +Directors. +10 DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD, THE +COMPANY DID NOT VIOLATE LAWS OR +REGULATIONS WHICH HAVE A MATERIAL +IMPACT ON THE COMPANY +11 MAJOR SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS +During this reporting period, the total value +of the purchasing from the top five crude +oil suppliers of the Company accounted +for 49.1% of the total value of the crude +oil purchasing by the Company, of which +the total value of the purchasing from the +largest supplier accounted for 19.3% of the +total value of the crude oil purchasing by the +Company. +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. +The total sales value to the five largest +customers of the Company in 2019 was +RMB 261,811 million, accounted for 8.8% +of the total sales value of the Company, +of which the sales value to the connected +party (Sinopec group) among the five largest +customers was RMB 111,110 million, +accounted for 3.7% of the total sales value +for the year. +12 BANK LOANS AND OTHER BORROWINGS +Details of bank loans and other borrowings +of the Company as of 31 December 2019 +are set out in Note 30 to the financial +statements prepared in accordance with +IFRS in this annual report. +13 FIXED ASSETS +During this reporting period, changes to the +fixed assets of the Company are set out in +Note 16 to the financial statements prepared +in accordance with IFRS in this annual +report. +14 RESERVES +During this reporting period, the changes +to the reserves of the Company are set out +in the consolidated statement of changes +in shareholders' equity in the financial +statements prepared in accordance with +IFRS in this annual report. +15 DONATIONS +During this reporting period, the amount +of charity donations made by the Company +During the reporting period, other than +disclosed above, all the top five crude +oil suppliers and the other four largest +customers of the Company were independent +third parties. There were no supplier, +customer, employee or others that have a +significant impact on the Company and on +which the Company's success depends. +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. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +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 HSSE 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 impact resulting from such +contingencies. +Investment risks: Petroleum and chemical +sector is a capital intensive industry. +Although the Company has 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. +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 +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 +Risks with regard to the operation and +natural disasters: The process of petroleum +chemical production is exposed to the +high risks of inflammation, explosion and +environmental pollution and is vulnerable +to extreme natural disasters. Such +contingencies may cause serious impacts +Beijing, China, 27 March 2020 +57 +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2019 +The aggregate cash dividend declared by +Sinopec Corp. during three years from 2017 +to 2019 is RMB 1.23 per share, and the total +dividend payment from 2017 to 2019 as a +percentage of average net profit attributed +to the shareholders of the listed company in +the three years is 262.5%. +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. +stricter environment protection standards. +Under such situations, the Company +may increase expenses in relation to the +environment protection accordingly. +55 +Report of the Board of Directors +56 +Report of the Board of Directors +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED) +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. +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. +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. +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. With its overall +technologies reaching state of the art level in +the global arena, and some of them taking +the lead globally, the Company enjoys a +strong technical strength. +25 RISK FACTORS +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. +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. +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 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 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 +Annual Report 2019 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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.

Under a +complex web of risks and problems, instability +and unpredictability were evidently growing. +In the wake of this extraordinary and severe +impact, the Company's Board of Directors +maintained a steady grip on all developments, +while management worked closely with all staff +to focus on major issues and areas such as +system optimization, baseline risk prevention +and control and turning risks into opportunities, +as well as to stabilize basic production and +operations, go all out to carry out a series of +campaigns to tide over difficulties, and promote +the company's reform, thus achieving industry- +leading results. +In accordance with International Financial +Reporting Standards, our turnover and other +operating revenues reached RMB 2.1 trillion, +while profit attributable to shareholders of the +Company amounted to RMB 33.096 billion. +The Company also enjoyed a cash flow from +operating activities totalling RMB 167.518 +billion with a year-on-year increase of 9.0%, +while the liabilities to assets ratio at the end of +the period was 49.08%. The Company remained +in a solid financial position with a strong cash +flow and robust capability to strengthen anti-risk +capability. In view of the Company's profitability, +return to shareholders, and needs for future +development, the Board of Directors proposed +the payment of a final dividend of RMB 0.13 per +share. Taking into account the interim special +dividend of RMB 0.07 per share, the total +dividend for the year was RMB 0.20 per share, +with a dividend payout ratio of 73.2% ensuring +a stable dividend payout level. +Over the past year, the Company's has achieved +new progress across all business segments. +The upstream business promoted high-quality +exploration and profitable development. +As natural gas reserves steadily increased, +production and sales hit a record high. Further, +as the oil and gas break-even point steadily +declined, stabilizing oil output while increasing +gas output has led to marked achievements +with cost reduction. The refining and marketing +businesses leveraged efforts to tackle tough +problems and increased the production of +marketable and value-added products. With low- +sulfur fuel oil as a market leader, advantages +in domestic refined oil market continued to be +strengthened. Meanwhile, the Company sped up +the construction of integrated service stations, +innovated marketing models, and continued to +develop the non-fuel business on a sound basis. +The chemical business deepened structural +Other non-operating expenses, net +Status of shareholders +Chairman's Address +9 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +Greatness can be achieved through joint efforts, +and nothing is impossible through collective +wisdom.

I cherish the strong belief +that under the leadership of the new Board of +Directors, and with the concerted efforts of the +management and staff, as well as the strong +support of shareholders and all members of +society, Sinopec Corp. will surely be able to +write a new chapter in quality development +that creates greater value for shareholders and +society. +Considering the corporate development strategy, +production and operation arrangements, cash +flow and other factors, the Company plans to +spend RMB 167.2 billion on capital expenditures +in 2021, mainly in the areas of large-scale +development of natural gas, construction and +transformation upgrading of advanced refining +and chemical production capacity, among other +aspects. +and effective development and to promoting +breakthrough developments in natural gas. +The Company will work to further deploy its +hydrogen business from a leading perspective +and lay a strong foundation for building China's +largest hydrogen energy company. Moreover, the +Company seeks to accelerate its construction +of world-class advanced refining and chemical +capacities and to promote further adjustments +in business structures. The Company will also +work hard to develop the digital and platform +economies and to ascend to the mid-to- +high end of the industrial and value chains. +We will continue to work hard to overcome +difficulties and create value, and to improve +quality and efficiency in order to drive stable +growth.

The +comprehensive competitive advantages in +its oil products sales network are robust, +and the Company's total number of service +stations ranks the second in the world. +Taken together, these demonstrate how the +Company's comprehensive capabilities have +been steadily improving. Further, an innovation- +driven strategy was implemented, which helped +foster a collection of outstanding and strategic +technological innovations. With breakthrough and +the accelerated implementation of technological +researches in frontier in areas such as new +energy, the Company managed to significantly +upgrade its technological capabilities. +The term of the 7th Session of Board of +Directors and Board of Supervisors is due to +expire in 2021. Over the 3 years, and in the face +of severe and complicated external conditions, +the Company navigated deep industrial +transformation and intense competition to +achieve major targets handed down in the +"13th Five-Year Plan". As a result, the Company +experienced gains in the effectiveness of its +corporate governance model and witnessed +developmental outcomes that are inspiring and +encouraging. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +8 +Chairman's Address +Over the past year, the Company has +proactively assumed social responsibility with +new contributions. Facing the outbreak of the +COVID-19 pandemic, the Company donated +funds and goods to support the frontline fight +against the pandemic as well as adjusted its +production to provide pandemic-countering +items by leveraging its industrial advantages. +Notably, the world's largest melt-blown cloth +production facility was built up from scratch +within a short time, a stable supply in the oil +and gas market was ensured, thus promoting +production resumption along the industrial +chain from upstream to downstream operations. +These achievements received wide community +recognition. Additionally, to fulfill our social +responsibilities, the Company focused its +efforts on targeted poverty alleviation, with +implementation of poverty alleviation measures +in terms of industry, education and consumption, +objectives to help poverty alleviation have been +achieved on all fronts.

Ltd. +(d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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. +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. +(d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +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. +(2) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. +(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. +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. As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, +the hedging relationship shall be accounted for as follows: +The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; +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 cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding two policy statements, that amount shall be 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 reclassify 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 shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve and shall be accounted for as cash flow hedges. 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. +(12) Impairment of other non-financial long-term assets +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. +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. +(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. +(c) Determination of fair value +(ii) Impairment +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. +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. +Equity instruments +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. +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. +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. +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 2020 +95 +Financial Statements (PRC) +96 +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. +Financial Statements (PRC) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +(a) Financial assets (Continued) +(ii) Impairment (Continued) +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 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 accounts receivable and receivables financing related to revenue, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to +lifetime expected credit losses. +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 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. +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. +(b) 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. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +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. +Financial Statements (PRC) +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. +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, deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if all the following conditions are met: +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 +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. +(16) Provisions +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. +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. +(17) 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. +Sales of goods +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. +(18) Government grants +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. +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 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. +(19) Borrowing costs +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. +Except for the above, other borrowing costs are recognised as financial expenses in the income statement when incurred. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +99 +Financial Statements (PRC) +(15) Income tax (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +98 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(12) Impairment of other non-financial long-term assets (Continued) +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). +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. 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. +If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. 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. +Impairment losses for assets are not reversed. +(13) Long-term deferred expenses +Long-term deferred expenses are amortised on a straight-line basis over their beneficial periods. +(14) Employee benefits +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. +97 +(a) Short term compensation +(b) Post-employment benefits +Basic pension insurance +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. +(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. +(15) Income tax +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). +Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: +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. +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. +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. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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. +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. +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. +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: +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. +(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. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +91 +Financial Statements (PRC) +92 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(4) Inventories (Continued) +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. +Inventories are recorded by perpetual method. +(5) Long-term equity investments +(a) Investment in subsidiaries +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: +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. +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. +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. +(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates +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. +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. +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. +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. +The Group's accounting treatments when adopting the equity method include: +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. +(3) Cash and cash equivalents +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 other equity +instrument investments; or charged to the income statement if it is measured at fair value through profit or loss. +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. +Financial Statements (PRC) +Measured at amortised cost: +90 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +The Group determines specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the characteristics of production and operational activities, +mainly reflected in the accounting for allowance for financial assets (Note 3(11)), valuation of inventories (Note 3(4)), depreciation of fixed assets +and depletion of oil and gas properties (Note 3(7), (8)), measurement of provisions (Note 3(16)), etc. +Principal accounting estimates and judgements of the Group are set out in Note 56. +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control +(a) Business combination involving entities 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 assets and liabilities that the acquirer receives in the acquisition are accounted for at the acquiree's carrying +amount on the acquisition date. 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. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer +effectively obtains control of the acquiree. +(b) Business combination involving entities not under common control +A business combination involving entities or businesses not under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining +entities or businesses are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination. 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. +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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. +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 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. +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. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control (Continued) +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements (Continued) +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. +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. +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. +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 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. +(2) Transactions in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements in foreign currencies +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. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +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. +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: +Plants and buildings +Equipment, machinery and others +Useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +(8) Oil and gas properties +Estimated +useful life +12.50 years +4.30 years +Estimated rate +of residual value +3% +3% +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 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. +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. +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 +Intangible assets, where the 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. +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. +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. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(10) Goodwill +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. +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. +(11) Financial Instruments +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. +(a) Financial assets +(i) Classification and measurement +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +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. +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 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. +Debt instruments +Useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +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. +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +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. +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 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. +(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates (Continued) +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 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. +(c) The impairment assessment method and provision accrual on investment +The impairment assessment and provision accrual on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are stated in Note 3(12). +(5) Long-term equity investments (Continued) +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 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. +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 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. +A lessee shall account for a lease modification as a separate lease if both: (1) the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding +the right to use one or more underlying assets; and (2) the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand- +alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular +contract. +For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, except for the practical expedient which applies only to rent +concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the group determine the lease term of the modified lease at the +effective date of the modification, and remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. +The group decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications +that decrease the scope or shorten the term of the lease, and shall recognise in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full +termination of the lease. The group make a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications. +(b) As Lessor +(6) Leases +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. +(7) Fixed assets and construction in progress +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. +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. +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)). +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +54 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

included RMB 1,563 million (2019: +RMB 1,408 million) (Note 34) and RMB 1,256 million (2019: RMB 1,131 million), respectively of the estimated dismantlement costs for site +restoration. +Impairment losses on fixed assets for the year ended 31 December 2020 primarily represent impairment losses recognised in the exploration +and production ("E&P") segment of RMB 8,435 million (2019: RMB 0 million), the chemicals segment of RMB 2,611 million (2019: +RMB 4 million), marketing and distribution segment of RMB 442 million (2019: RMB 52 million) and the refining segment of RMB 226 million +(2019: RMB 140 million). The impairment losses in the E&P segment were mainly the impairment losses of fixed assets relating to oil and gas +producing activities. The primary factors resulting in the E&P segment impairment loss were low oil price outlook and downward revision of oil +and gas reserve in certain fields. E&P segment determines recoverable amounts of fixed assets 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% (2019: 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 fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing +activities by approximately RMB 4,548 million (2019: RMB 184 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 fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing activities +by approximately RMB 2,836 million (2019: RMB 180 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 fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing activities by +approximately RMB 287 million (2019: RMB 7 million). The assets in the chemicals segment were written down because evidence indicates the +economic performance of certain production facilities are worse than expected. +At 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were pledged. +At 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were temporarily +idle or pending for disposal. +At 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fully depreciated fixed assets which +were still in use. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +108,359 +114,845 +Cost: +Decreases for the year +Balance at 31 December 2020 +Transferred from subsidiaries +(514) +(250) +(3,546) +(4,310) +Decreases for the year +(292) +(1,251) +(5,575) +(7,118) +Balance at 31 December 2020 +25,189 +468,718 +Transferred to subsidiaries +309,841 +Provision for impairment losses: +Balance at 1 January 2020 +1,795 +37,383 +20,842 +60,020 +528 +4,023 +3,677 +8,228 +Additions for the year +Reclassifications +803,748 +Balance at 31 December 2020 +446,076 +Balance at 1 January 2020 +(708) +Balance at 31 December 2020 +24,957 +3,788 +3.461 +21,522 +3,904 +57,632 +Provision for impairment losses: +Balance at 1 January 2020 +228 +482 +Additions for the year +Decreases for the year +(2) +Balance at 31 December 2020 +226 +482 +2222 +27 +145 +17 +899 +24 +47 +(144) +(187) +(41) +(336) +(475) +(204) +(2,341) +Balance at 31 December 2020 +101,968 +5,377 +5,577 +53,567 +6,150 +172,639 +Accumulated amortisation: +Balance at 1 January 2020 +71 +22,534 +3,277 +19,391 +3,535 +52,338 +Additions for the year +2,759 +187 +225 +2,318 +513 +6,002 +Decreases for the year +3,601 +(24) +(3) +(29) +2019 +RMB million +4,043 +2,541 +2,541 +1,004 +1,004 +1,032 +1,109 +8,620 +8,697 +Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of purchase over the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities.

At 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group estimates that +there is no need to pay for the guarantees. Thus no liabilities have been accrued for a loss related to the Group's obligation under these guarantee +arrangements. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +60 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued) +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 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. +The Group recognised normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB 11,362 million in the consolidated financial statements for the +year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: RMB 9,271 million). +Legal contingencies +The Group is defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

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.

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; +Financial Statements (PRC) +• 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. +1,292,142 +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. 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. +(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 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 2020, 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. +The carrying amounts of cash at bank and on hand, financial assets held for trading, derivative financial assets, accounts 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 +The Group's primary type of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model is accounts receivable, receivables financing 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 accounts receivable and receivables financing, the Group applies the "No.22 Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Financial +instruments: recognition and measurement" simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss +allowance for all accounts receivable and receivables financing. +To measure the expected credit losses, accounts receivable and receivables financing 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 2020 or 31 December 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 accounts receivable and receivables +financing. +The detailed analysis of accounts receivable and receivables financing is listed in note 7 and note 8. +The Group's other receivables are considered to have low credit risk (Note10), 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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 139 +Credit risk +1,239,437 +52,705 +RMB million +2019 +536 +80 +3,606 +17 +14,560 +345 +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 assets and deferred tax assets.

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. +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. +(a) Oil and gas properties and reserves +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. +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. +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. +(a) Subsidiaries acquired through group restructuring: +China Petrochemical International Company Limited +China International United Petroleum and Chemical +Company Limited +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. +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 +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. +(d) Measurement of 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. The Group regularly monitors and reviews the assumptions used for estimating +expected credit losses. +(e) 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 would be higher than estimated. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2020 +57 PRINCIPAL SUBSIDIARIES +The Company's principal subsidiaries have been consolidated into the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

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. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2019. +At 31 December 2020, 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 2020, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB 12,353 million (2019: RMB 788 million) and derivative financial liabilities of RMB 4,808 million (2019: +RMB 2,728 million). +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 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(j)) or, when appropriate, the cost on +initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture (Note 2(a)(ii)). +In the Company's balance sheet, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(n)). +The particulars of the Group's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 42. +(ii) Associates and joint ventures +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. +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 (Notes 2(i) and (n)). +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(j)) or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate. +Financial Statements (International) +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(a) Basis of consolidation (Continued) +(iii)Transactions eliminated on consolidation +(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 +Principal activities +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. +Organisation +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. +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. +Basis of preparation +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. +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. +(a) New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group +On 28 May 2020, the IASB published IFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions Amendment, which has no material impact on the Group for +31 December 2020 reporting periods. +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. +A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting +policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. +Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2020 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. +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. +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 44. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +155 +Financial Statements (International) +156 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +(b) New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group +(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. +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. +Estimated usage +period +12 to 50 years +4 to 30 years +No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress. +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)). +158 +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(j) Financial assets +(i) Classification and measurement +(i) Goodwill +1 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, ORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION +Equipment, machinery and others +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: +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 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. +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 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. +Buildings +(e) Inventories +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +157 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(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. +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. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +154 +(84,204) +28,360 +(51,636) +60,438 +111,927 +(1,239) +147 +87,559 +60,438 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +(36,955) +153 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +(Amounts in million) +(a) Reconciliation from profit before taxation to net cash generated from operating activities +Year ended 31 December +2020 +2019 +RMB +RMB +Operating activities +Financial Statements (International) +Profit before taxation +(320) +320 +Net cash used in financing activities +Amounts transferred to initial carrying amount of +Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents +Cash and cash equivalents at 1 January +Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes +Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December +The notes on pages 155 to 203 form part of these consolidated financial statements. +558,680 +(540,015) +602,467 +(614,108) +4,219 +(761) +3,919 +(46,008) +(4,157) +(7,357) +(7,508) +(6,250) +(1,121) +(8) +(15,327) +(16,859) +514 +(31,479) +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.

The impairment losses in the E&P segment +were mainly the impairment losses of properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities. The primary factors resulting in the E&P segment +impairment loss were low oil price outlook and 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% (2019: 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 4,548 million (2019: RMB 184 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 +2,836 million (2019: RMB 180 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 287 million (2019: RMB 7 million). +The assets in the chemicals segment were written down because evidence indicates the economic performance of certain production facilities are worse than expected. +(i) Government grants for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 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. +Notes: +(346) +(5,712) +(116) +(1,781) +(210) +(301) +(173) +INTEREST EXPENSE +2019 +Yu Renming +RMB million +350 +350 +350 +350 +350 +350 +Johnny Karling Ng +Cai Hongbin +1,013 +94 +620 +Fan Gang (vii) +299 +RMB'000 +Supervisors' fee +Directors'/ +2020 +Retirement +scheme +contributions +RMB'000 +Bonuses +RMB'000 +benefits in kind +RMB'000 +Salaries, +allowances and +Emoluments paid +or receivable +in respect of a +person's services +as a director, +whether of the +Company or +its subsidiary +undertaking +Emoluments paid or receivable in respect of +director's other services in connection with +the management of the affairs of the Company +or its subsidiary undertaking +Tang Min +Independent non-executive directors +Total +RMB'000 +Li Yong (vi) +Supervisors +Jiang Zhenying +125 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +Zhou Hengyou (ix) +23 +613 +125 +Yu Xizhi (ix) +- +- +Li Defang (viii) +467 +Zhao Dong +886 +60 +160 +247 +Sun Huanquan (viii) +59 +555 +272 +Zou Huiping +83 +710 +366 +1,159 +RMB million +Li Yunpeng (v) +Zhang Shaofeng (iii) +498 +1,087 +Tax effect of tax losses not recognised +(335) +(65) +Tax effect of utilisation of previously unrecognised tax losses and temporary differences +(312) +(730) +Effect of income taxes at foreign operations +(2,003) +(1,011) +Write-down of deferred tax assets +Tax effect of preferential tax rate (ii) +(8,330) +Tax effect of non-taxable income (i) +2,321 +3,274 +Tax effect of non-deductible expenses +22,506 +12,036 +Expected PRC income tax expense at a statutory tax rate of 25% +90,022 +48,143 +Profit before taxation +(4,458) +Dai Houliang (iv) +75 +Adjustment of prior years +Ling Yiqun +Liu Hongbin (ii) +Yu Baocai +Ma Yongsheng +Zhang Yuzhuo (i) +Directors +Name +The emoluments of every director and supervisor is set out below: +(a) Directors' and supervisors' emoluments +12 DIRECTORS' AND SUPERVISORS' EMOLUMENTS +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +189 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +167 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +(ii) 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.

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. +Environmental expenditures that relate to current ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed as incurred. +(v) Environmental expenditures +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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. +162 Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Repairs and maintenance expenditure is expensed as incurred. +(u) Repairs and maintenance expenditure +Borrowing costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are +capitalised as being attributable to the construction of an asset which necessarily takes a period of time to get ready for its intended use. +(t) Borrowing costs +Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are +credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. +Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs +that they are intended to compensate. +Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the +Group will comply with all attached conditions. +(s) 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. +Financial Statements (International) +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. +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. +For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, except for the practical expedient which applies only to rent +concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the group determine the lease term of the modified lease at the +effective date of the modification, and remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. +The group decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications +that decrease the scope or shorten the term of the lease, and shall recognise in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full +termination of the lease. The group make a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications. +RMB million +2020 +Turnover primarily represents revenue from the sales of refined petroleum products, chemical products, crude oil and natural gas, which are +recognised at a point in time. +3 TURNOVER +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. +(bb) Segment reporting +Dividends and distributions of profits proposed in the profit appropriation plan which will be authorised 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. Dividends +are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. +(aa) Dividends +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. +Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. 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. +(z) Income tax +A lessee shall account for a lease modification as a separate lease if both: (1) the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding +the right to use one or more underlying assets; and (2) the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand- +alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the articular +contract. +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +163 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +Termination benefits, such as employee reduction expenses, are recognised when, and only when, the Group demonstrably commits itself to +terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic +possibility of withdrawal. +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.

However, that designation +does not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument. +(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. +A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in cash flows are expected to offset changes in cash flows of the hedged item. +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +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 (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. +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +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. +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. +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. +(k) Financial liabilities +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. +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. +(iii)Derecognition +(j) Financial assets (Continued) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +611 +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 +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. +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +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. +(q) Provisions and contingent liability +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. +(p) Interest-bearing borrowings +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. +(o) Trade, bills and other payables +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +161 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +Cash flow hedges +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. +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 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. +(n) Impairment of 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 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. +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. +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 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. +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 +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): +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. +1,218.00 +Gasoline +557,605 +2019 +2020 +(ii) City construction tax is levied on an entity based on its total paid amount of value-added tax and consumption tax. +Jet fuel oil +Fuel oil +Lubricant oil +Solvent oil +Naphtha +Diesel +Gasoline +Products +RMB million +(i) Consumption tax was levied based on sales quantities of taxable products, tax rate of products is presented as below: +Others +Education surcharge +Resources tax +City construction tax (ii) +Consumption tax (i) +7 TAXES OTHER THAN INCOME TAX +77,202 +8,804 +RMB million +Contributions to retirement schemes (Note 40) +Salaries, wages and other benefits +(2) +(25) +Notes: +1,283 +70,921 +86,006 +1,948.64 +2,105.20 +1,411.20 +2,109.76 +RMB/Ton +13 January 2015 +Effective from +244,517 +234,947 +5,748 +5,464 +11,822 +5,883 +12,111 +11,670 +16,387 +15,699 +204,388 +197,542 +RMB million +RMB million +2019 +2020 +82,743 +4,572 +Diesel +2,105 +8 +368,412 +277,429 +2,049,456 +Others (i) +80,100 +41,640 +53,839 +48,121 +191,636 +72,385 +125,658 +122,313 +2,899,682 +215,773 +549,720 +351,707 +Synthetic fiber monomers and polymers +Natural gas +Synthetic resin +Crude oil +Kerosene +Basic chemical feedstock +615,342 +422,569 +699,202 +155,687 +6 +(i) Others are primarily liquefied petroleum gas and other refinery and chemical byproducts and joint products. +Sale of materials and others +Rental income +70 +73 +1,858 +2019 +RMB million +RMB million +2,685 +2020 +6 PERSONNEL EXPENSES +Other receivables +- Trade accounts receivable +Impairment losses: +- Others +4 OTHER OPERATING REVENUES +- Audit services +The following items are included in selling, general and administrative expenses: +5 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +60,117 +1,231 +58,886 +2019 +RMB million +RMB million +55,441 +1,087 +56,528 +2020 +164 Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Operating lease charges +Auditor's remuneration: +23 +Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value.

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.

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. +As at 31 December 2020, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide borrowings up to RMB +443,966 million (2019: RMB 379,649 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 2.85% per annum (2019: 3.57%). +As at 31 December 2020, the Group's outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB 4,041 million (2019: RMB 2,947 million) and were +included in debts. +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 current +at the balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Group would be required to repay: +31 December 2020 +Carrying +amount +Total +contractual +undiscounted +cash flow +RMB million +RMB million +Within +1 year or +on demand +RMB million +More than 1 +year but less +than 2 years +RMB million +More than 2 +years but less +than 5 years +RMB million +More than +5 years +RMB million +196 +Short-term debts +All of the entity's other receivables 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. +The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 31 December 2020 or 31 December 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. +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +43 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES +Overview +Financial assets of the Group include cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with financial institutions, financial assets at fair value through profit +or loss, derivative financial assets, trade accounts receivable, amounts due from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, amounts due from +associates and joint ventures, financial assets at FVOCI and other receivables. Financial liabilities of the Group include short-term debts, loans from +Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, derivative financial liabilities, trade accounts payable and bills payable, amounts due to Sinopec +Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, amounts due to associates and joint ventures, other payables, long-term debts 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, 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 2020, 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, 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, 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 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 financial assets at FVOCI. +To measure the expected credit losses, trade accounts receivable and financial assets at FVOCI have been grouped based on shared credit risk +characteristics and the days past due. +The detailed analysis of trade accounts receivable and financial assets at FVOCI, based on which the Group generated its payment profile is +listed in Notes 25 and 26. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Long-term debts +23,769 +Trade accounts payable and bills payable +161,656 +161,656 +161,656 +Other payables +93,623 +93,623 +93,623 +560,551 +713,008 +308,193 +28,138 +114,036 +262,641 +Total +31 December 2019 +Carrying +amount +contractual +undiscounted +Within +4,826 +Loans from Sinopec Group Company +4,826 +Derivative financial liabilities +25,280 +72,037 +80,562 +25,280 +1,339 +11,753 +60,414 +7,056 +and fellow subsidiaries +17,042 +17,978 +5,512 +929 +Lease liabilities +187,598 +329,083 +15,957 +15,456 +10,109 +43,513 +1,428 +254,157 +4,826 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +195 +(163) (1,250) +(1,208) +(2,879) +(2,050) +2,176 +250 +Net increase/(decrease) in +cash and cash equivalents +1,727 +(7,198) +(695) +2,690 +(526) (1,303) +(11) +(13) +3.182 +(95) +(4,095) +2,460 +88 +(527) +882 +1,682 +(25,923) (2,659) +678 +(3,888) +(4,623) +(649) +(472) +3,846 +397 +(4,335) +(91) +(2,340) +(4,987) +Net cash (used in)/ +generated from financing +activities +(12,402) +(21,535) +1,683 +(116) +(1,737) +795 +Cash and cash equivalents +at 1 January +(2) +1 +at 31 December +8,642 +6,901 +7,699 +8,833 +6,916 +7,450 +68 +79 +3,182 +127 +117 +5,181 +9,278 +1,066 +1,593 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +14 +(117) +11 +(8) +6.901 +14.142 +8,833 +5,993 +7.450 +8.742 +12 +79 +92 +More than 1 +117 +9.278 +6.817 +1,593 +798 +Effect of foreign currency +exchange rate changes +Cash and cash equivalents +14 +(43) +(439) +150 +198 +More than 2 +RMB million +cash flow +RMB million +- Derivative financial assets +9,628 +2,900 +12,528 +Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: +- Equity instruments +149 +1,376 +1,525 +- Trade accounts receivable and bills receivable +8,735 +8,735 +9,778 +2,900 +10,111 +22,789 +Liabilities +Derivative financial liabilities: +- Derivative financial liabilities +At 31 December 2019 +Derivative financial assets: +Assets +1 +RMB million +(i) Financial instruments carried at fair value +The following table presents the carrying value of financial instruments measured at fair value at the balance sheet date across the three levels +of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 7, ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures', with the fair value of each financial instrument categorised in +its entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to that fair value measurement.

This analysis has been determined assuming that the change in foreign exchange +rates had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to the foreign currency balances to which the Group has significant exposure +as stated above, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

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 2020, 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 245 million (2019: decrease/increase by +approximately RMB 352 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 2019. +(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 this risk. +As at 31 December 2020, 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 2020, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments +is derivative financial assets of RMB 12,353 million (2019: RMB 788 million) and derivative financial liabilities of RMB 4,808 million (2019: +RMB 2,728 million). +As at 31 December 2020, 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 3,592 million (2019: increase/decrease RMB 3,134 million), and increase/decrease the Group's other +reserves by approximately RMB 10,379 million (2019: decrease/increase RMB 4,289 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.

Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of +reservoir data, estimates of underground reserves are subject to change as additional information becomes available. +Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and +operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well. +1,433 +"Net" reserves exclude royalties and interests owned by others and reflect contractual arrangements and obligation of rental fee in effect at the time of +the estimate. +2019 +Total +China +Other +countries +Other +Total +China +countries +The Group +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves (oil) +(million barrels) +Beginning of year +2020 +Extensions and discoveries +7,216 +End of year +(23,902) +(3,126) +(27,065) +(22,216) +(4,849) +(11,758) +(10,521) +(1,237) +(40,720) +(39,634) +(1,086) +280,964 +(27,028) +283,412 +417,200 +416,495 +705 +10% annual discount for estimated timing of +cash flows +(87,579) +(86,127) +(1,452) +(126,203) +(126,175) +(28) +Standardised measure of discounted future net +cash flows +(2,448) +193,385 +(6,725) +(384,417) +9 +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON 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. This discounting requires a year-by-year estimate of when the future +expenditure will be incurred and when the reserves will be produced. +The information provided does not represent management's estimate of the Group's and its equity method investments' expected future cash flows or +value of proved oil and gas reserves. Estimates of proved reserve quantities are imprecise and change over time as new information becomes available. +Moreover, probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. The arbitrary valuation requires +assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs. The calculations are made for the years ended 31 December +2020 and 2019 and should not be relied upon as an indication of the Group's and its equity method investments' future cash flows or value of its oil +and gas reserves. +Total +China +2020 +RMB million +Other +countries +Total +China +2019 +RMB million +Other +countries +(377,692) +Future development costs +Future cash flows +Future production costs +Future income tax expenses +Undiscounted future net cash flows +595,159 +(275,409) +589,659 +5,500 +869,402 +856,037 +13,365 +(271,824) +(3,585) +The Group +7,216 +197,285 +290,997 +10,757 +10,757 +19,057 +19,057 +10% annual discount for estimated timing of +cash flows +(4,828) +(4,828) +(8,852) +(8,852) +Standardised measure of discounted future net +cash flows +5,929 +Undiscounted future net cash flows +5,929 +10,205 +Total of the Group's and its equity method +investments' results of standardised measure of +discounted future net cash flows +199,314 +197,285 +2,029 +301,202 +290,320 +10,882 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +209 +Financial Statements +10,205 +(3,900) +(3,995) +(1,740) +290,320 +677 +Discounted future net cash flows attributable to +non-controlling interests +(1,284) +(1,284) +305 +305 +Equity method investments +Future cash flows +31,259 +31,259 +(3,995) +41,796 +Future production costs +(13,050) +(13,050) +(13,141) +(13,141) +Future development costs +(5,712) +(5,712) +(5,603) +(5,603) +Future income tax expenses +(1,740) +41,796 +Production +7,225 +8,181 +- +11 +11 +25 +25 +(24) +(24) +(28) +(28) +290 +290 +290 +2 +290 +245 +261 +261 +244 +244 +245 +245 +45 +46 +56 +45 +38 +245 +38 +(8) +2 +Proved developed reserves +Beginning of year +End of year +Proved undeveloped reserves +Beginning of year +End of year +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves of +associates and joint ventures (gas) +(billion cubic feet) +Beginning of year +Revisions of previous estimates +Improved recovery +299 +Extensions and discoveries +End of year +Proved developed reserves +Beginning of year +End of year +Proved undeveloped reserves +Beginning of year +End of year +Total of the Group and its equity method investments +290 +13 +299 +(8) +- +Production +10 +46 +45 +(million barrels) +Beginning of year +1,740 +1,433 +307 +1,666 +1,339 +327 +End of year +1,542 +1,232 +310 +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves (oil) +1,740 +307 +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves (gas) +(billion cubic feet) +Beginning of year +7,225 +26,681 +9 +6,806 +6,793 +13 +End of year +8,191 +1,433 +45 +2 +9 +9 +9 +13 +13 +4 +4 +(1) +(1) +10 +30 +(3) +10 +2 +30 +(3) +(3) +9 +9 +9 +9 +13 +8 +8 +30 +13 +9 +(3) +55 +279,823 +(3,875) +725,025 +696,558 +49,311 +12,999 +8,079 +6,681 +105,691 +107,783 +36,089 +34,514 +4,472 +5,404 +94,640 +203,642 +521,383 +529,177 +121,071 +121,071 +(a) +400,312 +408,106 +521,383 +529,177 +Financial Statements (International) +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +167,381 +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +121,838 +344,918 +7,190 +7,198 +Derivative financial liabilities +362 +Trade accounts payable and bills payable +71,840 +157 +80,118 +Contract liabilities +Other payables +Total current liabilities +Net current liabilities +Total assets less current liabilities +327,205 +Non-current liabilities +Loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries +Lease liabilities +Provisions +Other long-term liabilities +Total non-current liabilities +Equity +Share capital +Reserves +Total equity +5,840 +5,112 +234,844 +162,852 +Long-term debts +Lease liabilities +46 BALANCE SHEET AND RESERVE MOVEMENT OF THE COMPANY (Continued) +The reconciliation between the opening and closing balances of each component of the Group's consolidated reserves is set out in the +consolidated statement of changes in equity.

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. +Depreciation +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. +Measurement of 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. 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. +45 PARENT AND ULTIMATE HOLDING COMPANY +The directors consider the parent and ultimate holding company of the Group as at 31 December 2020 is Sinopec Group Company, a state-owned +enterprise established in the PRC.

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 0.77% to 4.65% (2019: 2.37% 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 +2020 and 2019: +Carrying amount +Fair value +31 December +2020 +RMB million +31 December +2019 +76,674 +74,282 +for the year ended 31 December 2020 +RMB million +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. +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 2020 and 2019. +44 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 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +63,998 +62,646 +3,271 +Construction in progress +59,880 +38,088 +Derivative financial assets +7,776 +940 +Trade accounts receivable +21,763 +21,544 +Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income +707 +207 +Dividends receivable +796 +71,107 +41 +39,034 +49,116 +Prepaid expenses and other current assets +53,816 +106,645 +Total current assets +223,080 +232,565 +Current liabilities +Short-term debts +21,571 +32,329 +Inventories +Right-of-use assets +Time deposits with financial institutions +28,081 +60,493 +115,992 +120,037 +Investment in subsidiaries +259,087 +266,359 +Interest in associates +69,508 +22,798 +Interest in joint ventures +14,761 +15,530 +15,984 +Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income +395 +Deferred tax assets +12,661 +7,315 +Long-term prepayments and other assets +30,855 +6,727 +Total non-current assets +Current assets +846,863 +791,198 +Cash and cash equivalents +428 +Special reserve +Others +Balance at 31 December +37,412 +37,245 +167 +Total costs incurred +54,993 +54,388 +605 +53,707 +53,540 +167 +Equity method investments +Share of costs of exploration and development of +associates and joint ventures +605 +100 +747 +747 +Total of the Group's and its equity method +investments' exploration and development costs +55,093 +54,388 +705 +54,454 +53,540 +914 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +205 +100 +Financial Statements +37,636 +Development +5,843 +5,743 +5,743 +243,323 +235,914 +7,409 +Supplemental Information on Oil and +271,787 +8,036 +Table II: Costs incurred in oil and gas exploration and development +2020 +2019 +38,241 +RMB million +Total +China +Other +countries +Total +China +Other +countries +The Group +Exploration +16,752 +16,752 +16,295 +16,295 +RMB million +5,843 +Supplemental Information on Oil and +206 +Production costs excluding taxes +(44,595) +(43,487) +(1,108) +(47,969) +(46,725) +(1,244) +Exploration expenses +(9,716) +(9,716) +(10,510) +(10,510) +3,282 +Depreciation, depletion, amortisation and +(52,608) +(51,754) +(854) +(48,630) +(47,580) +(1,050) +Taxes other than income tax +(7,379) +(7,379) +(9,395) +(9,395) +Profit before taxation +impairment losses +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +139,903 +2,017 +Financial Statements +Supplemental Information on Oil and +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Table III: Results of operations related to oil and gas producing activities +China +2020 +RMB million +Other +countries +2019 +RMB million +Total +China +Other +countries +The Group +Revenues +Sales +143,185 +Transfers +52,354 +59,552 +59,262 +290 +58,069 +56,052 +2,017 +83,633 +80,641 +2,992 +110,423 +108,406 +52,354 +investments' net capitalised costs +Total of the Group's and its equity method +and joint ventures +2019 +RMB million +Shareholders' equity under CASS +Adjustments: +878,374 +Government grants +(i) +(1,018) +Total equity under IFRS* +882,858 +(1,070) +877,304 +Effects of major differences between the net profit under CASS and the profit for the year under IFRS are analysed as follows: +Note +31 December +2020 +RMB million +41,750 +2019 +RMB million +72,172 +Adjustments: +Government grants +Safety production fund +Others +(i) +(ii) +52 +54 +237 +69 +(115) +(212) +Net profit under CASS +Profit for the year under IFRS* +2020 +RMB million +883,876 +Note +131,674 +144,132 +18,821 +37,256 +(31,479) +(46,008) +(1,857) +(3,745) +(240) +40 +(1) +116.919 +31 December +131,674 +408,106 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +203 +Financial Statements (International) +Differences between Consolidated Financial Statements +Prepared in Accordance with the Accounting Policies +Complying with CASS and IFRS (Unaudited) +(C) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH +THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES COMPLYING WITH CASS AND IFRS (UNAUDITED) +Other than the differences in the classifications of certain financial statements captions and the accounting for the items described below, there are no +material differences between the Group's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting policies complying with CASS +and IFRS.

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. +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 +can only counteract the adverse influences of +industry cycle to a certain extent. +Risks from the macroeconomic policies +and government regulation: Although the +Chinese government is gradually liberalizing +the market entry regulations on petroleum +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.

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. +On 29 April 2020, the 9th meeting of the +seventh session of the Board of Supervisors was +held, and the proposal in relation to the First +Quarterly Report of Sinopec Corp. for 2020 and +Proposal on Integration and Reorganisation of +Zhongke Refining and Zhanjiang Dongxing were +reviewed and approved at the meeting. +On 28 August 2020, the 10th meeting of the +seventh session of the Board of Supervisors was +held, and the Interim Report of Sinopec Corp. +for 2020 and the Interim Financial Statements +of Sinopec Corp. for 2020 were reviewed and +approved at the meeting. +On 28 October 2020, the 11th meeting of the +seventh session of the Board of Supervisors was +held, and the Third Quarterly Report of Sinopec +Corp. for 2020 and Baling Petrochemical +Reorganization Proposal were reviewed and +approved at the meeting. +In addition, the Supervisors attended the general +meetings of shareholders and attended meetings +of the Board. The Board of Supervisors also +organised some of the Supervisors to attend +the trainings for directors and supervisors of +listed companies organised by Beijing Securities +Supervisory Bureau under CSRC, which have +further improved the Supervisors' capabilities in +performing supervisory duties. +Through supervision and inspection on the +production and operation management as +well as financial management conditions, the +Board of Supervisors and all the Supervisors +conclude that in 2020, facing the unfavourable +conditions such as the outbreak of COVID-19 +and a significant decline in crude oil price, +the Company conscientiously implemented +the decision-making and deployment of the +Board of Directors, focused on prevention of +COVID-19 and business operation targets, +consecutively implemented “100-day overcoming +difficulties and creating efficiency" campaign +and subsequent campaigns to improve +performance, maintaining the steadiness of +business operations, and achieving better than +expectation business performance. The Board of +Supervisors had no objection to the supervised +issues during this reporting period. +Firstly, the Board and the senior management +of Sinopec Corp. performed their responsibilities +pursuant to relevant laws and regulations, +and implemented efficient management. The +Board diligently fulfilled its obligations and +exercised its rights under the PRC Company +Law and the Articles of Association, and made +informed decisions on major issues. The senior +management diligently executed the resolutions +approved by the Board, made all-out efforts to +tap potentials and enhance efficiency, optimise +business structures, committed to achieving +the target of business operations set by the +Board. During the reporting period, the Board of +Supervisors did not discover any behavior of any +Director or senior management which violated +laws, regulations, or the Articles of Association, +or was detrimental to the interests of Sinopec +Corp. or its shareholders. +Annual Report 2020 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Secondly, the reports and financial statements +prepared by Sinopec Corp. in 2020 complied +with the relevant regulation of domestic and +overseas securities regulators, the disclosed +information truly, accurately, completely +and fairly reflected Sinopec Corp.'s financial +results and operation performance. The +dividend distribution plan was made after +comprehensive consideration of the long-term +interests of Sinopec Corp. and the interests of +the shareholders. No violation of confidential +provisions of persons who prepared and +reviewed the report was found. +During this reporting period, the Board of +Supervisors held four 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. +Thirdly, Sinopec Corp.'s internal control system +is effective. No material defects of internal +control were found. +Fifthly, all connected transactions between the +Company and Sinopec Group were in compliance +with the relevant rules and regulations of +domestic and overseas listing exchanges. The +pricing of all the connected transaction was +fair and reasonable. No behaviors which is +detrimental to the interests of Sinopec Corp. or +its shareholders was discovered. +In 2021, the Board of Supervisors and each +Supervisor will continue to follow the principle +of due diligence and integrity, earnestly perform +the duties of supervision as delegated by the +shareholders, strictly review the significant +decisions, strengthen the process control and +supervision, increase the strength of inspection +and supervision on subsidiaries and protect +Sinopec Corp.'s benefit and its shareholders' +interests. +Zhao Dong +Chairman of the Board of Supervisors +26 March 2021 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +Report of the Board of Supervisors +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 imposition +of the special oil income levy; the formulation +of refined oil import and export quotas and +procedures; the formulation of safety, quality +and environmental protection standards +and the 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 the right of +tenure; reforming and improvement in pricing +mechanism of natural gas, cost supervision +of gas pipeline and access to third party; +cancellation of qualification approval of the +wholesale and storage of refined oil business, +decentralisation of retail business authorisation +of refined oil products to regional and city +level government, further improvement in +pricing mechanism of refined oil products, +gas stations investment being fully opened to +foreign investment; and reforming in resource +tax and environmental tax, etc. Such changes +might further intensify market competition +and have certain effects on the operations and +profitability of the Company. +Fourthly, the consideration for selling assets +made by Sinopec Corp. was fair and reasonable, +neither insider trading, damage to shareholders' +interest nor losses of corporate assets was +discovered. +In 2020, 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. +59 +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS +may decline over time which may adversely +affect the Company's financial situation and +operation performance. +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 +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 with regard to the operation and +natural disasters: The process of petroleum +chemical production is exposed to the +high risks of inflammation, explosion and +environmental pollution and is vulnerable +to extreme 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 laying great +emphasis on the safety production, and has +implemented a strict HSSE 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 impact resulting from such +contingencies. +Investment risks: Petroleum and chemical +sector is a capital intensive industry. +Although the Company has adopted a +prudent investment strategy, as stipulated +and enforced by the new investment +decision-making procedures and rules in +2020, 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. +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 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. +Dear Shareholders: +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. However, if +our systems against cyber-security risk +are proved 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, thus +causing harm to our personnel, 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 +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. +Chairman +Beijing, China, 26 March 2021 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2020 +57 +Report of the Board of Directors +58 +58 +Report of the Board of Supervisors +Zhang Yuzhuo +No +0 +Yes +0 +ooo. +Liu Hongbin +Male +Board Director, 2018.05-2021.05 +Senior Vice President +Board Director, 2020.05-2021.05 +Yes +0 +Senior Vice President +Ling Yiqun +Male +58 +1,013.1 +Yes +58 +Senior Vice President +1 INTRODUCTION OF +56 +Headquarter of Sinopec +Corp., General Manager +and Deputy Secretary of +CPC Committee of Sinopec +Exploration Company; in +May 2008, he was appointed +as Deputy Director +General of Exploration and +Production Department of +Sinopec Corp.
