To cope with harsh conditions in the +upstream sector, we strengthened measures +to rein in costs and address our weaknesses. +At the same time, we gave priority to high- +efficiency exploration activities and made a +number of important new discoveries. In line +with our emphasis on profitability, we made +continuous improvements in our oil production +and trimmed production of high-cost oilfields, +thereby effectively controlling our production +costs. The Company also continuously improves +its energy structure by increasing production of +shale gas. As a result, domestic gas production +for the year reached 21.6 billion cubic meters, +while we further developed Fuling shale gas +field, China's first large-scale shale gas project, +to an annual capacity of 7 billion cubic meters. +Our energy structure improved steadily as +our gas supply in the Yangtze River Economic +Belt and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region +continued to grow. In downstream operations, +the Company achieved robust results by taking +advantage of market opportunities to expand +the effective supply of mid-range and high- +end products. We optimised the structure of +our refinery products according to market +demand and vigorously promoted applications +of new technologies, leading to a lower diesel- +to-gasoline ratio. Moreover, we pressed ahead +with upgrading of our oil product specification +to ensure implementation of GB V standards for +automobile gasoline and diesel fuels and the GB +VI standards for Beijing. At the same time, we +eliminated obsolete and low-efficiency production +other hand, in view of the difficulties that low +oil prices created for our upstream operations, +along with slower growth in downstream +demand and structural changes in the external +environment, we intensified our reform initiatives +and implemented stricter controls over our +investment plans in tandem with a series of +major reforms on the supply side. Over the past +year, our focus on transformation of growth +mode and structural adjustments allowed us +to improve the quality and efficiency of our +assets as well as upgrade our operations. Under +the management's leadership, the entire staff +united to advance these goals. We achieved +significant improvement in our operating results +through unrelenting joint efforts to explore new +markets, optimise our operations, reduce costs +and improve risk management.

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 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)). +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. +(6) Fixed assets and construction in progress +The impairment assessment and provision accrual on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures entities are stated in Note +3(12). +(c) The impairment assessment method and provision accrual on investment +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 discontinues recognising its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and +any long-term interest that is in substance forms part of the Group's net investment in the associate or the joint ventures entity 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 entity, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not +recognised. +(b) Investment in joint ventures entities and associates (Continued) +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 entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates or joint ventures entities. Unrealised losses resulting +from transactions between the Group and its associates or joint ventures entities are fully recognised in the event that there is an evidence of +impairment. +(7) Oil and gas properties +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. +A financial asset or financial liability is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is acquired or incurred principally for the +purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term or if it is a derivative, unless the derivative is a designated and effective hedging +instrument, or a financial guarantee contract, or a derivative that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity +instrument (without a quoted price from an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. These financial instruments +are initially measured at fair value with subsequently changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, +financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised +in profit or loss. +Financial asset or financial liability with change in fair value recognised through profit or loss +Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. For financial asset or financial liability of which the change in its +fair value is recognised in profit or loss, the relevant transaction cost is recognised in profit or loss. The transaction costs for other financial +assets or financial liabilities are included in the initially recognised amount. Subsequent to initial recognition financial assets and liabilities +are measured as follows: +The Group classifies financial assets and liabilities into different categories at initial recognition based on the purpose of acquiring assets +and assuming liabilities: financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity +investments, available-for-sale financial assets and other financial liabilities. +The Group recognises a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance sheet when the Group enters into and becomes a party to the +underlining contract of the financial instrument. +(a) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments +Financial instruments of the Group include cash and cash equivalents, bond investments, equity securities other than long-term equity +investments, receivables, derivative financial instruments, payables, loans, bonds payable, and share capital, etc. +(11) Financial Instruments +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +(5) Long-term equity investments (Continued) +93 +A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, can be clearly +distinguished operationally and for financial reporting purposes from the rest of the Group and (i) represents a separate major line of business +or geographical area of operations, (ii) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area +of operations, or (iii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. +The assets and liabilities in the non-current asset or disposal groups which have been classified as assets held for sale are classified as current +assets and current liabilities, and are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet. +Non-current assets, except for financial assets and deferred tax assets that satisfy the cognition criteria for assets held for sale are stated at the +lower of carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

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 entities 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 entity or an associate is accounted for using the equity method, unless the investment is classified as held +for sale (see Note 3(10)). +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 entities 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 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. +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 amounts of the amortisation are included in the cost of the related assets or +profit or loss. +Any excess of the cost over the net realisable value of each item of inventories is recognised as a provision for diminution in the value of +inventories. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the +estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. The net realisable value of materials held for use in the production is measured +based on the net realisable value of the finished goods in which they will be incorporated. The net realisable value of the quantity of inventory +held to satisfy sales or service contracts is measured based on the contract price. If the quantities held by the Group are more than the +quantities of inventories specified in sales contracts, the net realisable value of the excess portion of inventories is measured based on general +selling prices. +At the balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. +Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost includes the cost of purchase and processing, and other expenditures incurred in bringing the +inventories to their present location and condition.

The liability component is subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest +method until extinguished on conversion or redemption. Both the liability and the related derivative components are presented together +for financial statements reporting purposes. +At initial recognition, the derivative component of the convertible bonds is measured at fair value. Any excess of proceeds over the amount +initially recognised as the derivative component is recognised as the liability component. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the +convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and derivative components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds.

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.

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). +An asset unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets +or groups of assets. An asset unit comprises related assets that generate associated cash inflows. In identifying an asset unit, the Group +primarily considers whether the asset unit is able to generate cash inflows independently as well as the management style of production and +operational activities, and the decision for the use or disposal of asset. +Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. +The recoverable amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain useful lives are estimated annually no matter there are any +indications of impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment together with related asset units or groups of asset units. +Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date for indications that the following assets, including fixed +assets, oil and gas properties, construction in progress, goodwill, intangible assets and investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint +ventures may be impaired. +Held-to-maturity investment includes non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable recoverable amount and fixed maturity that +the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Impairment loss for available-for-sale equity instrument is not +reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss for available-for-sale financial assets measured by the cost cannot be reversed in the +following period. +When available-for-sale financial assets measured at cost are impaired, the differences between the book value and the discounted present +value with the market return of similar financial assets are charged to profit or loss. +When available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value are impaired, despite not being derecognised, the cumulative losses resulted +from the decrease in fair value which had previously been recognised directly in shareholders' equity, are reversed and charged to profit or +loss. +(a) Impairment of financial assets (Continued) +(12) Impairment of financial assets and non-financial long-term assets (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +97 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +Available-for-sale financial assets are assessed for impairment on an individual basis.

The Group calibrates the valuation technique and tests it for validity +periodically. +If there is an active market for a financial asset or financial liability, the quoted price in the active market is used to establish the fair value +of the financial asset or financial liability. +(c) Determination of fair value +the Group intends to settle the financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities +simultaneously. +the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off financial assets against financial liabilities; and +In the balance sheet, financial assets and liabilities are not offset unless all the following conditions are met: +(b) Disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +94 +Except for the other financial liabilities described above, subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at +amortised cost using the effective interest method. +Financial liabilities other than the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as other financial liabilities. +Other financial liabilities include the liabilities arising from financial guarantee contracts. Financial guarantees are contracts that require +the issuer (i.e. the guarantor) to make specified payments to reimburse the beneficiary of the guarantee (the holder) for a loss the holder +incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Where the Group +issues a financial guarantee, subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount initially recognised +less accumulated amortisation and the amount of a provision determined in accordance with the principles of contingencies (see Note +3(16)). +Other financial liabilities +Available-for-sale financial assets whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost subsequent to initial recognition. +Other than the above equity instrument investments whose fair values cannot be measured reliably, other available-for-sale financial assets +are initially stated at fair values. The gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are directly recognised in equity, except for +the impairment losses and exchange differences from monetary financial assets denominated in foreign currencies, which are recognised +in profit or loss. The cumulative gains and losses previously recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss when the available-for- +sale financial assets are derecognised. Dividend income from these equity instruments is recognised in profit or loss when the investee +declares the dividends. Interest on available-for-sale debt instrument investments calculated using the effective interest rate method is +recognised in profit or loss (see Note 3(17) (c)). +Available-for-sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sales and other financial +assets which do not fall into any of the above categories. +If the convertible corporate bond is converted, the liability component, together with the equity component, is transferred to share capital +and capital reserve (share premium). If the convertible corporate bond is redeemed, the consideration paid for the redemption, together +with the transaction costs that relate to the redemption, are allocated to the liability and equity components. The difference between the +allocated and carrying amounts is charged to profit or loss if it relates to the liability component or is directly recognised in equity if it +relates to the equity component. +The hedge is assessed by the Group for effectiveness on an ongoing basis and determined to have been highly effective throughout the +accounting periods for which the hedging relationship was designated. The Group uses a ratio analysis to assess the subsequent effectiveness +of a cash flow hedge, and uses a regression analysis to assess the subsequent effectiveness of a fair value hedge. +Cash flow hedges +94 +A hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation is a hedge of the exposure to foreign exchange risk associated with a net investment +in a foreign operation. The portion of the gain or loss on a hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised +directly in equity as a separate component until the disposal of the foreign operation, at which time the cumulative gain or loss +recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. +Convertible bonds that can be converted to equity share capital at the option of the holder, where the number of shares that would be +issued on conversion and the value of the consideration that would be received at that time do not vary, are accounted for as compound +financial instruments which contain both a liability component and an equity component. +Convertible bonds that contain an equity component +(e) Convertible bonds +At initial recognition, the liability component of the convertible bonds is measured as the present value of the future interest and principal +payments, discounted at the market rate of interest applicable at the time of initial recognition to similar liabilities that do not have a +conversion option. Any excess of proceeds over the amount initially recognised as the liability component is recognised as the equity +component. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and equity components in +proportion to the allocation of proceeds. +Hedge of net investment in foreign operation +When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Group +discontinues prospectively the hedge accounting treatments. If the hedged item is a financial instrument measured at amortised cost, any +adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortised to profit or loss from the adjustment date to the maturity date using +the recalculated effective interest rate at the adjustment date. +The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedged +item attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognised in profit or loss. +A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm +commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or unrecognised firm commitment. +(d) Hedge accounting (Continued) +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Fair value hedges +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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 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. +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +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. +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. +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.

("SDIC Holding") (the +"Capital Injection Agreement"). According to the provisions of the Capital Injection Agreement, China Life and SDIC Holding made cash contribution to the Pipeline +Ltd amounting to RMB 20 billion and RMB 2.8 billion, respectively, in exchange for 43.86% and 6.14% equity interest, respectively, in the Pipeline Ltd. Thereafter, +the Group's equity interest in the Pipeline Ltd was diluted from 100% to 50%. Based on the composition and decision making mechanism of the Board of +Directors of the Pipeline Ltd, the Group determines that it has only retained the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the Pipeline +Ltd, and was no longer exclusively possessing the power to govern policy decisions of the Pipeline Ltd. +Consequently, the Group has deconsolidated the Pipeline Ltd and started accounting for its 50% equity interest in the Pipeline Ltd as an investment in associate +company. In this connection, the Group recognized an amount of RMB 20.562 billion investment income, which was resulted from the loss of control and the re- +measurement of the remaining 50% equity interest in the Pipeline Ltd (Note 45, 58). +Management is in the process of allocating the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities of Pipeline Ltd.

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% (2015: 10.80%). +Further future downward revisions to the Group's oil price outlook by 10% or more would lead to further impairments which, in aggregate, are +likely to be material. It is estimated that a general decrease of 10% in oil price, with all other variables held constant, would result in additional +impairment loss in E&P segment by approximately RMB 3,010 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 in E&P segment by approximately RMB 1,193 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 E&P segment by +approximately RMB 439 million. The assets in the chemicals segment and refining segment were written down due to the suspension of operations +of certain production facilities. +13 FIXED ASSETS (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Balance at 1 January 2016 +Patents +RMB million +technology +RMB million +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +18 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES +Deferred tax assets and liabilities before the consolidated elimination adjustments are as follows: +Deferred tax assets +At +At +Net balance +At +At +31 December 31 December 31 December 31 December 31 December 31 December +2016 +2015 +2016 +2015 +Deferred tax liabilities +At +At +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +2016 +RMB million +2015 +RMB million +Current +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +114 +Financial Statements (PRC) +At 31 December +RMB million +2015 +RMB million +1,157 +1,157 +Manufacturing of intermediate +petrochemical products and +petroleum products +Trading of petrochemical +products +4,043 +4,043 +941 +Receivables and inventories +853 +218 +6,353 +6,271 +Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of purchase over the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities.

These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial +budgets approved by management covering a one-year period and pre-tax discount rates primarily ranging from 10.4% to 11.0% (2015: 10.7% to +11.3%). Cash flows beyond the one-year period are maintained constant. +Key assumptions used for cash flow forecasts for these entities are the gross margin and sales volume. Management determined the budgeted gross +margin based on the gross margin achieved in the period immediately before the budget period and management's expectation on the future trend +of the prices of crude oil and petrochemical products. The sales volume was based on the production capacity and/or the sales volume in the period +immediately before the budget period. +17 LONG-TERM DEFERRED EXPENSES +Long-term deferred expenses

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, short-term debentures payable, non-current liabilities due within one year, long- +term loans, debentures payable, deferred tax liabilities, other non-current liabilities and other unallocated liabilities. +Reportable information on the Group's operating segments is as follows: +Income from principal operations +Exploration and production +External sales +Inter-segment sales +Refining +External sales +Inter-segment sales +Marketing and distribution +External sales +Inter-segment sales +Chemicals +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.

The format is based on the Group's management and internal +reporting structure. +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. +Financial Statements (PRC) +134 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +55 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES +(a) The Company has been advised by its PRC lawyers that, except for liabilities constituting or arising out of or relating to the business assumed +by the Company in the Reorganisation, no other liabilities were assumed by the Company, and the Company is not jointly and severally liable for +other debts and obligations incurred by Sinopec Group Company prior to the Reorganisation. +(b) At 31 December 2016 and 2015, guarantees by the Group in respect of facilities granted to the parties below are as follows: +At 31 December +2015 +Joint ventures +Associates (i) +Others +Total +At 31 December +2016 +RMB million +RMB million +658 +11,545 +10,669 +703 +6,010 +22,872 +6,713 +(i) The group provided a guarantee in respect to standby credit facilities granted to Zhongtian Synergetic Energy by banks amount to RMB +17,050 million. As at 31 December 2016, the amount withdrawn by Zhongtian Synergetic Energy from banks and guaranteed by the group +was RMB 11,545 million. +The Group monitors the conditions that are subject to the guarantees to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and recognises +any such losses under guarantees when those losses are reliably estimable. At 31 December 2016 and 2015, 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.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market +conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and +constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Internal audit department undertakes both regular +and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Group's audit committee. +Credit risk +Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, +and arises principally from the Group's deposits placed with financial institutions and receivables from customers. 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 2016, +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 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 2016, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide the Group to borrow up to RMB +256,375 million (2015: RMB 297,997 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.57% (2015: 2.50%). At 31 December +2016, the Group's outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB 36,933 million (2015: RMB 32,991 million) and were included in loans. +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

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, 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 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 "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 and amount of operating costs. The Group uses all readily available +information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and +supportable assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. +(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 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. +(d) Allowances for doubtful accounts +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. +(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 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +RMB million +RMB 4,397 +75.00 +1,050,294 +1,103,934 +4,016 +6,557 +77,894 +80,803 +4,968 +5,532 +1,642 +11,703 +14,077 +Profit/(loss) for the year +Turnover +26,461 +(4,604) +(222) +5,969 +3,282 +2,513 +1,456 +825 +1,558 +1,738 +Total comprehensive income/(loss) +27,385 +24,391 +23,684 +RMB Million +RMB million +RMB million +7,124 +4,656 +9,641 +14.686 +15,815 +Summarised consolidated statement of comprehensive income and cash flow +Year ended 31 December +Marketing Company +2016 +SIPL +2015 +2016 +2015 +Shanghai Petrochemical +2016 +2015 +Fujian Petrochemical +2016 +2015 +Sinopec Kantons (ii) +2015 +Zhonghan Wuhan +2016 +2015 +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +(2,481) +19.718 +(4,257) +3,282 +7,211 +5,143 +617 +(179) +1.185 +3.636 +4,223 +Note: +(ii) This listed company will announce its financial information for the year ended 31 December later than the Company, therefore its 2016 financial information is not +currently disclosed. +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +4,059 +54 COMMITMENTS +The Group lease land and buildings, service stations and other equipment through non-cancellable operating leases.

The levels are defined as follows: +(i) Financial instruments carried at fair value +Fair values +At 31 December 2016, 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 634 million (2015: decrease/increase RMB 1,951 million), and decrease/increase the Group's other +comprehensive income by approximately RMB 4,007 million (2015: decrease/increase RMB 3,052 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 2015. +At 31 December 2016, 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 2016, the net fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB 312 million (2015: RMB 7,875 million) recognised in other receivables and derivative financial liabilities of +RMB 4,336 million (2015: RMB 2,750 million) recognised in other payables. +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. +41,640 +(c) Commodity price risk +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term loans.

PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +154 +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. +Pursuant to the resolution passed at the Directors' meeting on 29 October 2015, the Company entered into the JV Agreement with Sinopec Assets +Management Corporation ("SAMC") in relation to the formation of the Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co., Ltd. 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. +Basis of preparation +As part of the Reorganisation, certain of Sinopec Group Company's core oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses together with the +related assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company. On 25 February 2000, in consideration for Sinopec Group Company transferring such +oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses and the related assets and liabilities to the Company, the Company issued 68.8 billion domestic +state-owned ordinary shares with a par value of RMB 1.00 each to Sinopec Group Company. The shares issued to Sinopec Group Company on 25 +February 2000 represented the entire registered and issued share capital of the Company on that date. The oil and gas and chemical operations and +businesses transferred to the Company were related to (i) the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the refining, +transportation, storage and marketing of crude oil and petroleum products, and (iii) the production and sales of chemicals. +The Company was established in the PRC on 25 February 2000 as a joint stock limited company as part of the reorganisation (the "Reorganisation") +of China Petrochemical Corporation ("Sinopec Group Company"), the ultimate holding company of the Group and a ministry-level enterprise under +the direct supervision of the State Council of the PRC. Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the oil and gas and chemical operations of the +Group were carried on by oil administration bureaux, petrochemical and refining production enterprises and sales and marketing companies of +Sinopec Group Company. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +0.001 +as restated +RMB million +for the year ended 31 December 2015: +Diluted earnings per share (RMB) +0.269 +0.001 +0.268 +Basic earnings per share (RMB) +11,286 +60 +Summarised consolidated income statement +11,226 +32,512 +2,020,375 +(1,071) +(60) +2,563 +134 +2,018,883 +32,438 +Profit attributable to owners of the Company +Turnover and other operating revenues +Profit attributable to non-controlling interests +Organisation +(32) +(185) +Financial Statements (International) +157 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +Inter-company balances and transactions and any unrealised gains arising from inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation. +Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the entity. +Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. +(iii)Transactions eliminated on consolidation +In the Company's balance sheet, investments in associates and joint ventures are stated at carrying amount (Note 2(o)). +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)). +158 +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. +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. +An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary, in which the Group exercises significant influence over its management. Significant influence +is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. +(ii) Associates and joint ventures +The particulars of the Group's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 37. +In the Company's balance sheet, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(o)). +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)). +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. +Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated 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)). +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 owners 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 owners of the Company. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of purchase computed using the weighted average +method and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Net +realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs +necessary to make the sale. +(e) Inventories +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. +(d) Trade, bills and other receivables +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. +(c) Cash and cash equivalents +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. +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +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. +The presentation currency of the Group is Renminbi. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into Renminbi at the applicable +rates of exchange quoted by the People's Bank of China ("PBOC") prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets and +liabilities are translated into Renminbi at the PBOC's rates at the balance sheet date. +(b) Translation of foreign currencies +A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by those entities. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions +between combining entities or businesses are eliminated on consolidation. Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, +costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., +incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting is recognised as an expense +in the period in which it is incurred. +The consolidated income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or +since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where there is a shorter period, regardless +of the date of the common control combination. The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the +entities or businesses had been combined at the previous balance sheet date or when they first came under common control, whichever is +shorter. +The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the combining entities or businesses in which the common +control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the +control of the controlling party. The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the +controlling parties' perspective. No amount is recognised as consideration for goodwill or excess of acquirers' interest in the net fair value of +acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the +continuation of the controlling party's interest. +(iv) Merger accounting for common control combination +(a) Basis of consolidation (Continued) +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. +1 +The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control effectively +commences until the date that control effectively ceases. +(i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests +(b) New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group +Basis of preparation (Continued) +1 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, ORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 155 +The following relevant IFRSS, amendments to existing IFRSS and interpretation of IFRS have been published and are mandatory for accounting +periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 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. +Amendment to IAS 27, 'Method to measure investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates', allows entities to use equity method to +measure investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Previousely, IAS 27 allows entities +to measure their investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates either at cost or as a financial asset in their separate financial +statements. The amendments introduce the equity method as a third option. The election can be made independently for each category of +investment (subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates). Entities wishing to change to the equity method must do so retrospectively. The +amendment is effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2016. +(a) New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group +The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable IFRSS 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. +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. +Gaoqiao Branch of SAMC sold its chemical products and steam to the Group. The transactions between the Group and the Gaoqiao Branch of SAMC have been +eliminated on combination. All other significant balances and transactions between the Group and Gaoqiao Branch of SAMC have been eliminated on combination. +58,407 +9,093 +(63) +The following is the Amendment to IAS 27 that has been adopted by the Group. The Group has changed from cost method to equity method +to measure investments in joint ventures and associates in the separate financial statements from 1 January 2016 and accordingly made +retrospective adjustments. +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. +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 (ECL) model, which constitutes a change from the incurred loss model in IAS 39. IFRS 9 +applies to all hedging relationships, with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance better aligns hedge +accounting with the risk management activities of an entity and provides relief from the more “rule-based" approach of IAS 39. IFRS 9 is +effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. +IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers', establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise revenue and +how much revenue to recognise through a 5-step approach. IFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalisation of contract cost and licence +arrangements. It also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash +flows arising from the entity's contracts with customers. The core principle is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the transfer +of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in +exchange for those goods or services. IFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards: IAS 18 'Revenue' and IAS 11 'Construction Contracts' +and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition: IFRIC 13 'Customer Loyalty Programmes', IFRIC 15 'Agreements for the Construction of +Real Estate', IFRIC 18 'Transfers of Assets from Customers' and SIC-31 'Revenue-Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services'. IFRS 15 +is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with earlier application permitted. +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 +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +156 +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. +Financial Statements (International) +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. +27 +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 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 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)), derivative financial instruments (Note 2(1) and (n)) and derivative component of the +convertible bonds (Note 2(r)) to their fair values. +Amendments to IAS 12, 'Income taxes', the IASB has issued amendments to IAS 12, 'Income taxes'. These amendments on the recognition +of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses clarify how to account for deferred tax assets related to debt instruments measured at fair value. +Amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. +Amendments to IAS 7, 'Statement of cash flows', the IASB has issued an amendment to IAS 7 introducing an additional disclosure that will +enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. The amendment is part of the IASB's +Disclosure Initiative, which continues to explore how financial statement disclosure can be improved. Amendments to IAS 7 are effective for +annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. +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'. An entity shall apply IFRS 16 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Earlier +application is permitted if IFRS 15 is also applied. +Key assumptions and estimation made by management in the application of IFRSS that have significant effect on the consolidated financial +statements and the major sources of estimation uncertainty are disclosed in Note 39. +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").

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 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. +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). +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +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.

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. +(s) Provisions and contingent liability +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. +(cc) Segment reporting +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.

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.

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. +(t) Revenue recognition +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. +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. +(ii) Impairment of other long-lived assets is accounted as follows: +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.

Cost comprises direct costs of construction as well as interest charges, and foreign +exchange differences on related borrowed funds to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest charges, during the periods of +construction. +(i) Construction in progress +Lease prepayments represent land use rights paid to the relevant government authorities. Land use rights are carried at cost less accumulated +amount charged to expense and impairment losses (Note 2(o)). The cost of lease prepayments is charged to expense on a straight-line basis +over the respective periods of the rights. +(h) Lease prepayments +Management estimates future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties with reference to engineering estimates after taking into +consideration the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with the industry practices and the future cash flows are adjusted +to reflect such risks specific to the liability, as appropriate. These estimated future dismantlement costs are discounted at pre-tax risk-free rate +and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs of the oil and gas properties. +The Group uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities. Under this method, costs of development +wells, the related supporting equipment and proved mineral interests in properties are capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially +capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. The impairment of exploratory well +costs occurs upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. The exploratory well costs are usually not carried as an asset +for more than one year following completion of drilling, unless (i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as +a producing well if the required capital expenditure is made; (ii) drilling of the additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned for the +near future; or (iii) other activities are being undertaken to sufficiently progress the assessing of the reserves and the economic and operating +viability of the project. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, other dry hole costs and annual lease rentals, +are expensed as incurred. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes +produced and reserves. +(g) Oil and gas properties +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.

The cost +of an asset comprises its purchase price, any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition and location for its intended +use. The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when +that cost is incurred, when it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the +item can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement in the year in which it is +incurred. +(f) Property, plant and equipment +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +(j) Goodwill +For investments in associates and joint ventures accounted under the equity method (Note 2(a) (ii)), the impairment loss is measured by +comparing the recoverable amount of the investment as a whole with its carrying amount in accordance with the accounting policy set out +in Note 2(o) (ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable +amount in accordance with the accounting policy set out in Note 2(o) (ii). +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. +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)). +(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. +(o) Impairment of assets +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. +(iii)Hedge of net investments in foreign operations +When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Group +discontinues prospectively the hedge accounting treatments. If the hedged item is a financial instrument measured at amortised cost, any +adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortised to profit or loss from the adjustment date to the maturity date using the +recalculated effective interest rate at the adjustment date. +The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedged item +attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognised in profit or loss. +A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment, +or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or unrecognised firm commitment. +(ii) Fair value hedges +(n) Hedging (Continued) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +160 +Financial Statements (International) +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. +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. +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). +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. +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. +(i) Cash flow hedges +(n) Hedging +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: (1) There is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts. (2) 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. +(m)Offsetting financial instruments +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 the consolidated income statement, 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)). +(I) Derivative financial instruments +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. +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)). +(k) Available-for-sale financial assets +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. +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +3 TURNOVER +4 +Net realised and unrealised gain on derivative financial instruments not qualified as hedging +Impairment losses on long-lived assets (iii) +Ineffective portion of change in fair value of cash flow hedges +Government grant (ii) +Gain on dilution and remeasurement of interests in the Pipeline Ltd (i) +OTHER OPERATING INCOME/(EXPENSE), NET +8 +(ii) City construction tax is levied on an entity based on its total paid amount of value-added tax, consumption tax and business tax. Pursuant to the 'Circular on the +Overall Promotion of Pilot Program of Levying VAT in place of Business Tax'(Cai Shui [2016] 36) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration +of Taxation, revenue from modern service of the subsidiaries of the Group, are subject to VAT from 1 May 2016, and the applicable tax rate is 6%, while the business +tax was from 3% to 5% before then. +1,370.60 +1,495.20 +1,218.00 +1,116.50 +1,711.52 +1,576.40 +1,948.64 +1,794.80 +2,105.20 +1,939.00 +1,411.20 +1,293.60 +2,109.76 +1,943.20 +RMB/Ton +Effective from +13 January 2015 +13 December 2014 +Effective from +Jet fuel oil +Fuel oil +Lubricant oil +Solvent oil +Loss on disposal of property, plant, equipment and other non-currents assets, net +Fines, penalties and compensations +Naphtha +Donations +2016 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +165 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +(iii) Impairment losses on long-lived assets for the year ended 31 December 2016 primarily represent impairment losses recognised in the exploration and production +("E&P") segment of RMB 11,605 million (2015: RMB 4,864 million), the chemicals segment of RMB 2,898 million (2015: RMB 142 million) and for the refining +segment of RMB 1,655 million (2015: RMB 9 million) (Note 36), most of which are impairment losses on property, plant and equipment (Note 16). 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% (2015: 10.80%). Further future downward revisions to the Group's oil price outlook +by 10% or more would lead to further impairments which, in aggregate, are likely to be material. It is estimated that a general decrease of 10% in oil price, with all +other variables held constant, would result in additional impairment loss in E&P segment by approximately RMB 3,010 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 in E&P segment by approximately RMB 1,193 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 E&P segment by +approximately RMB 439 million. The assets in the chemicals and refining segment were written down mainly due to the suspension of operations of certain production +facilities. +(ii) Government grants for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2015 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. +(i) On 12 December 2016, the Group entered into the Capital Injection Agreement in relation to Sinopec Sichuan To East China Gas Pipeline Co., Ltd. ("Pipeline Ltd"), +a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, with China Life Insurance Company Limited ("China Life") and SDIC Communications Holding Co., Ltd. ("SDIC Holding") (the +"Capital Injection Agreement"). According to the provisions of the Capital Injection Agreement, China Life and SDIC Holding made cash contribution to the Pipeline +Ltd amounting to RMB 20 billion and RMB 2.8 billion, respectively, in exchange for 43.86% and 6.14% equity interest, respectively, in the Pipeline Ltd. Thereafter, +the Group's equity interest in the Pipeline Ltd was diluted from 100% to 50%. Based on the composition and decision making mechanism of the Board of Directors +of the Pipeline Ltd, the Group determines that it has only retained the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the Pipeline Ltd, and was +no longer exclusively possessing the power to govern policy decisions of the Pipeline Ltd. Consequently, the Group has deconsolidated the Pipeline Ltd and started +accounting for its 50% equity interest in the Pipeline Ltd as an investment in associate company. In this connection, the Group recognized a gain of RMB 20.562 +billion, which was resulted from the dilution and the remeasurement of the remaining 50% equity interest in the Pipeline Ltd. +Note:

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. +(a) Transactions with Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures +The Group is part of a larger group of companies under Sinopec Group Company, which is controlled by the PRC government, and has significant +transactions and relationships with Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries.

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. +Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial +position or operating results of the Group. The PRC government, however, has moved, and may move further towards more rigorous enforcement +of applicable laws, and towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect management's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature +and extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to refineries, oil fields, service stations, terminals and land development +areas, whether operating, closed or sold, (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts, (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies, (iv) +changes in environmental remediation requirements, and (v) the identification of new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is +indeterminable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective +actions that may be required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot +reasonably be estimated at present, and could be material. The Group paid normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB 6,358 +million in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 (2015: RMB 5,813 million). +31 December +2015 +RMB million +Joint ventures +Associates(ii) +Others +658 +703 +11,545 +10,669 +6,010 +22,872 +Legal contingencies +6,713 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +33 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued) +Contingent liabilities (Continued) +Management monitors the conditions that are subject to the guarantees to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and recognises +any such losses under guarantees when those losses are estimable.

+Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, +and arises principally from the Group's deposits placed with financial institutions and receivables from customers. 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 accounts receivable at 31 December 2016, +except the amounts due from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries.

The Group's approach in managing +liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed +conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. Management prepares monthly cash flow budget +to ensure that 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. +At 31 December 2016, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide borrowings up to RMB 256,375 +million (2015: RMB 297,997 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.57% per annum (2015: 2.50%). At 31 +December 2016, the Group's outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB 36,933 million (2015: RMB 32,991 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 2016 +42,796 +Total +amount +RMB million +contractual +undiscounted +cash flow +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 +Carrying +Market risk +Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes +produced and reserves. +Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration the +anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in similar geographic area, including estimation of economic +life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are capitalised as oil and +gas properties with equivalent amounts recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs. +Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the +subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be +met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as "proved". Proved and proved developed reserves estimates are updated at least +annually and take into account recent production and technical information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from +year to year, the estimate of proved and proved developed reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate for accounting +purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in 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. +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. +Oil and gas properties and reserves +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. +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. +39 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS +The Group has not developed an internal valuation model necessary to estimate the fair values of loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries as it is not considered practicable to estimate their fair values because the cost of obtaining discount and borrowing rates for +comparable borrowings would be excessive based on the Reorganisation, the Group's existing capital structure and the terms of the borrowings. +Investments in unquoted equity securities are individually and in the aggregate not material to the Group's financial condition or results of +operations. There are no listed market prices for such interests in the PRC and, accordingly, a reasonable estimate of fair value could not be +made without incurring excessive costs. The Group intends to hold these unquoted other investments in equity securities for long term purpose. +Except for the above items, the financial assets and liabilities of the Group are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values +at 31 December 2016 and 2015. +RMB million +105,927 +103,482 +2015 +31 December +110,969 +109,308 +RMB million +2,750 +During the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2015, there was no transfer between instruments in Level 1 and Level 2. +(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value +The disclosures of the fair value estimates, and their methods and assumptions of the Group's financial instruments, are made to comply +with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IAS 39 and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements and related +notes. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Group using market information and valuation methodologies considered +appropriate. However, considerable judgement is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the +estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realise in a current market exchange. The use of +different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. +The fair values of the Group's financial instruments carried at other than fair value (other than long-term indebtedness and investments in +unquoted equity securities) approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term +indebtedness are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market interest rates offered to the Group that range from 1.06% to +4.90% (2015: 1.08% 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 2016 and 2015: +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +197 +RMB million +Financial Statements (International) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +38 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Fair values (Continued) +(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value (Continued) +Carrying amount +Fair value +31 December +2016 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +RMB million +Total +Level 3 +Commodity price risk +As at 31 December 2016, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in variable interest rates, with all other variables held +constant, would increase/decrease the Group's net profit for the year by approximately RMB 44 million (2015: decrease/increase by approximately +RMB 91 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, which in part be eliminated by cash holdings on a variable +interest rates basis. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2015. +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term debts. Debts bearing interest at variable rates and at +fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively. The interest rates of short-term and long- +term debts, and loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries of the Group are disclosed in Note 28. +Interest rate risk +Other than the amounts as disclosed above, the amounts of other financial assets and liabilities of the Group are substantially denominated in the +functional currency of respective entity within the Group. +SGD +1 +295 +288 +33 +2015 +RMB million +2016 +RMB million +31 December +31 December +USD +EUR +A 5 percent strengthening/weakening of RMB against the following currencies at 31 December 2016 and 2015 would have increased/decreased net +profit for the year of the Group by the amounts shown below. This analysis has been determined assuming that the change in foreign exchange rates +had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to the foreign currency balances to which the Group has significant exposure as stated +above, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2015. +HKD +Currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. The +Group's currency risk exposure primarily relates to short-term and long-term debts and loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries +denominated in USD, EUR, SGD and HKD. The Group enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage its currency risk exposure. +Included in short-term and long-term debts and loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries of the Group are the following amounts +denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate: +Gross exposure arising from loans +USD +EUR +31 December +2016 +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, to manage a portion of this risk. As at 31 December 2016, +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 2016 are set out in Notes 26 and 30. +31 December +USD 126 +USD 1,181 +EUR 1 +SGD 4 +HKD 6 +EUR 1,108 +HKD 6 +SGD +2015 +million +14,373 +As at 31 December 2016, 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 634 million (2015: decrease/increase RMB 1,951 million), and decrease/increase the Group's other +reserves by approximately RMB 4,007 million (2015: decrease/increase RMB 3,052 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. +"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. +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Table IV: Reserve quantities information (Continued) +2016 +2015 +Total +China +Other +countries +Total +China +Other +countries +The Group +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves +(oil) (million barrels) +1,902 +1,957 +40 +1,216 +1,256 +(4,517) +(798) +Income tax expense +1,044 +52,229 +49,605 +2,624 +43,222 +42,860 +362 +63,801 +61,177 +2,624 +719 +719 +1,218 +362 +1,218 +42,860 +1,081 +65,019 +61,177 +3,842 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +203 +Supplemental Information on Oil and +Financial Statements +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +204 +Financial Statements +43,941 +31,918 +32,280 +11,572 +377,199 +356,741 +20,458 +434,561 +408,995 +25,566 +Table II: Costs incurred in oil and gas exploration and development +The Group +Exploration +Development +Total costs incurred +Equity method investments +Share of costs of exploration and development +of associates and joint ventures +Total of the Group's and its equity method investments' +exploration and development costs +2016 +RMB million +2015 +RMB million +Total +China +Other +countries +Total +China +Other +countries +10,942 +10,942 +11,572 +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +Supplemental Information on Oil and +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Table III: Results of operations related to oil and gas producing activities +(48,315) +(46,883) +(1,432) +Exploration expenses +(11,035) +(11,035) +(10,459) +(10,459) +Depreciation, depletion, amortisation and +impairment losses +(73,534) +(68,594) +(4,940) +(56,293) +(52,216) +(4,077) +Taxes other than income tax +(4,576) +(4,576) +(6,083) +(6,083) +Profit before taxation +(37,931) +(35,582) +(2,349) +1,883 +839 +(1,425) +11,296 +(42,652) +Production costs excluding taxes +2016 +RMB million +Total +China +Other +countries +Total +China +2015 +RMB million +Other +countries +The Group +Revenues +Sales +Transfers +36,720 +36,720 +52,580 +52,580 +58,571 +54,555 +4,016 +70,453 +63,900 +6,553 +95,291 +91,275 +4,016 +123,033 +116,480 +6,553 +(44,077) +Beginning of year +471 +38,332 +912,898 +931,637 +11,396 +592,389 +(266,549) +603,785 +(271,650) +(20,241) +of cash flows +10% annual discount for estimated timing +Undiscounted future net cash flows +Future income tax expenses +Future development costs +Future production costs +Future cash flows +18,739 +The Group +China +Total +2015 +RMB million +2016 +RMB million +Other +countries +China +Total +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 +2016 and 2015 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 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. +Table V: Standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +19 +Other +countries +(5,101) +(440,079) +(430,695) +207,893 +208,147 +net cash flows +Standardised measure of discounted future +(1,176) +(150,855) +(152,031) +(10) +(102,332) +(102,342) +3,418 +438,332 +441,750 +264 +310,225 +310,489 +(1,360) +(9,779) +(11,139) +(1,405) +(1,405) +(4,577) +(34,092) +(38,669) +(4,626) +(15,615) +(9,384) +7,551 +254 +7,570 +7,160 +1 +18 +18 +18 +24 +24 +18 +19 +19 +18 +(4) +(4) +2 +(4) +(3) +3 +26 +26 +19 +26 +26 +23 +23 +23 +26 +260 +(3) +1 +2 +1 +7,178 +End of year +26 +6,715 +6,741 +19 +7,551 +7,570 +Beginning of year +(billion cubic feet) +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves (gas) +341 +1,902 +2,243 +336 +1,216 +1,552 +End of year +347 +2,700 +3,047 +341 +1,902 +2,243 +Beginning of year +(million barrels) +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves (oil) +18 +289,719 +287,477 +2,242 +6,073 +(68,635) +(281,975) +(53,715) +(46,637) +2015 +RMB million +RMB million +2016 +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Total of the Group's and its equity method investments' results of net changes for the year +Net changes for the year +Net changes in income taxes +Accretion of discount +(6,873) +Previously estimated development costs incurred during the year +Net changes in estimated future development cost +Sales and transfers of oil and gas produced, net of production costs +Net changes in prices and production costs +Equity method investments +Net changes for the year +Net changes in income taxes +Previously estimated development costs incurred during the year +Accretion of discount +Revisions of previous quantity estimates +Net changes due to extensions, discoveries and improved recoveries +Net changes in estimated future development cost +Net changes in prices and production costs +Sales and transfers of oil and gas produced, net of production costs +The Group +Net changes due to extensions, discoveries and improved recoveries +Revisions of previous quantity estimates +15,113 +(48,479) +44,838 +(68,875) +(83,746) +(7,285) +(2,174) +1,736 +464 +2,681 +1,308 +1,163 +322 +1,520 +(92) +611 +1,887 +997 +(534) +(12,987) +(3,952) +(3,006) +(1,577) +(223,740) +(81,572) +79,281 +6,363 +60,005 +30,340 +18,494 +9,370 +Table VI: Changes in the standardised measure of discounted cash flows +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Supplemental Information on Oil and +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +Financial Statements +(4,159) +(4,159) +(3,303) +(3,303) +Future income tax expenses +(2,996) +(2,996) +(3,444) +(3,444) +Future development costs +(11,665) +(11,665) +(10,783) +(10,783) +Future production costs +41,013 +41,013 +35,690 +35,690 +Future cash flows +Equity method investments +1,356 +1,356 +114 +114 +non-controlling interests +Discounted future net cash flows attributable to +Undiscounted future net cash flows +260 +18,160 +22,193 +208 +Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) +Supplemental Information on Oil and +Financial Statements +207 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +14,607 +287,477 +302,084 +10,445 +207,893 +218.338 +investments' results of standardised measure +of discounted future net cash flows +Total of the Group's and its equity method +12,365 +12,365 +10,191 +10,191 +net cash flows +Standardised measure of discounted future +(9,828) +(9,828) +(7,969) +(7,969) +of cash flows +10% annual discount for estimated timing +22,193 +18,160 +29,512 +273 +252 +64 +65 +1,701 +1,753 +40 +1,080 +1,120 +End of year +2,465 +2,529 +52 +1,701 +52 +1,753 +Proved developed reserves +25 +25 +18 +18 +undeveloped reserves at the end of year +Non-controlling interest in proved developed and +55 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2016 +39 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +Impairment for long-lived assets +Beginning of year +Proved undeveloped reserves +Beginning of year +204 +70 +66 +66 +Improved recovery +(252) +(252) +(170) +(170) +Revisions of previous estimates +6,715 +6,715 +7,551 +7,551 +Beginning of year +(billion cubic feet) +Proved developed and undeveloped reserves (gas) +3 +201 +204 +136 +136 +End of year +8 +235 +243 +3 +201 +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.

Most of the natural gas and +a small portion of crude oil were sold +externally to other customers. +In 2016, the operating revenues of +this segment were RMB 855.8 billion, +representing a decrease of 7.6% over +2015. This was mainly attributable to the +decreased in refined oil products prices. +In 2016, the operating revenues of +this segment were RMB 115.9 billion, +representing a decrease of 16.4% over +2015. This was mainly attributable to the +decline of realised price of crude oil and +natural gas as well as decrease in sales +volume of crude oil. +In 2016, the operating expenses of +this segment were RMB 152.6 billion, +representing a decrease of 2.2% over +2015. That was mainly due to the +following: +• +. +• +Depreciation, depletion and +amortisation increased by RMB 9.8 +billion year on year. +Impairment loss on oil and gas +related assets increased by RMB 6.7 +billion year on year; +The Company with the restructuring +of Sichuan-to-East China Pipeline Co., +other expenses (net) decreased by +RMB 20.6 billion. +In 2016, the oil and gas lifting cost was +RMB 786 per tonne, representing a +moderate year-on-year increase of 0.8%, +under the backdrop of a 13.2% decrease +in crude oil production. +In 2016, the segment made every effort +to optimise resource mix, attached great +emphasis on cash flow contributions, and +proactively controlled costs. Due to the +drop in crude oil and natural gas prices, +the operating loss of the exploration +and production segment were RMB 36.6 +billion, representing an expanded losses +as compared with 2015. +(2) Refining Segment +In 2016, the segment sold 36.38 million +tonnes of crude oil, representing a +decrease of 13.8% over 2015.

This is mainly +due to outstanding performance of the +Company's downstream business as we +fully tapped potential from our integrated +business. It effectively offset the negative +impact of low oil prices. +(4) Net finance costs were RMB 6.6 billion, +representing a decrease of 28.4% +over 2015, of which: interest expense +increased by RMB 1.1 billion over +2015 as a result of the replacement +of debt denominated in US dollars by +debt denominated in RMB (inclusive of +replacing borrowings in US dollars and +decrease exposure to US dollars); net +losses from foreign exchange was RMB +600 million, decreased by RMB 3.2 +billion as compared with 2015; interest +income increased by RMB 200 million +as a result of increased interest income +compared with the same period of 2015. +(5) Profit before taxation was RMB 80.2 +billion, representing an increase of 42.1% +year on year. +(6) Tax expense was RMB 20.7 billion, +representing an increase of 64.2% +year on year. That was mainly due to a +substantial increase in profit over the +same period of 2015. +(7) Profit attributable to non-controlling +interests was RMB 12.8 billion, +representing an increase of RMB 1.5 +billion comparing with 2015. +(8) Profit attributable to owners of the +Company was RMB 46.7 billion, +representing an increase of 43.6% year +on year. +2 RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS +The Company manages its operations +through four business segments, namely +exploration and production segment, refining +segment, marketing and distribution segment +and chemicals segment, and corporate +and others.

That was mainly due to that +the Company maintained its exploration +intensity in low oil price environment. +Selling, general and administrative +expenses were RMB 64.4 billion, +representing an decrease of 7.4% over +2015. That was mainly due to that +the Company promoted the reform of +employment system, adjusted the cost +and tax accounting, and continuously +enhanced cost control. +Chemical fertiliser +714 +243 +193.8 +1,612 +1,823 +(11.6) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +19 +Management's Discussion +and Analysis +Depreciation, depletion and amortisation +were RMB 108.4 billion, representing +an increase of 12.4% as compared +with 2015. That was mainly due to the +significant increase in depreciation and +depletion rate as a result of oil and gas +reserve revision in the exploration and +production segment corresponding to +decreased oil price. +Management's +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 2016, +the turnover from crude oil, natural +gas and other upstream products sold +externally amounted to RMB 47.4 billion, +a decrease of 17.8% over 2015. The +change was mainly due to the decrease +of crude oil prices and sales volume in +2016. +In 2016, petroleum products (mainly +consisting of oil products and other +refined petroleum products) sold by +Refining Segment and Marketing and +Distribution Segment achieved external +sales revenues of RMB 1,130.4 billion, +accounting for 58.5% of the Company's +turnover and other operating revenues, +representing a decrease of 6.3% over +2015 mainly due to the decline of various +refined oil products prices. The sales +revenue of gasoline, diesel and kerosene +was RMB 975.6 billion, representing +a decrease of 4.4% over 2015, and +accounting for 86.3% of the total sales +revenue of petroleum products.

This was mainly due +to the increase of chemical products +sales volume. +(2) Operating expenses +In 2016, the Company's operating +expenses were RMB 1,853.7 billion, +decreased by 5.6% compared with 2015. +The operating expenses mainly consisted +of the following: +Purchased crude oil, products and +operating supplies and expenses were +RMB 1,379.7 billion, representing a +decrease of 7.7% over the same period of +2015, accounting for 74.4% of the total +operating expenses, of which: +Crude oil purchasing expenses were RMB +373.7 billion, representing a decrease +of 20.4% over the same period of 2015. +Throughput of crude oil purchased +externally in 2016 was 202.40 million +tonnes (excluding the volume processed +for third parties), representing a decrease +of 1.9% over the same period of 2015. +The average cost of crude oil purchased +externally was RMB 2,084 per tonne, +representing a drop of 19.6% over 2015. +The Company's other purchasing +expenses were RMB 1,006.0 billion, +representing a decrease of 1.8% over the +same period of 2015.

The +Company's business could also be adversely +affected by such factors as the impact on +export due to trade protectionism from some +countries, and impact on import which is +likely caused by regional trade agreements +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 the 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 some extent. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +The Company has formulated a well- +established technology system and +mechanism, and owns competent teams +specialised in scientific research 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, chemicals and +strategic emerging technology.

The Board of Supervisors +also organised supervisors to attend the +trainings for directors and supervisors of listed +companies organised by Beijing Securities +Supervisory Bureau under CSRC. And these +activities have further improved their 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 under the severe operating environment +of excessive supply of oil products in domestic +market and fluctuation of international crude +oil prices at low level, the Company focused +on transformation of its growth mode, improve +asset quality, increase asset efficiency and +upgrade the asset structure, with an aim to +optimise resource and structure adjustment. +Make every effort to expand the market, optimise +structure, reduce costs, and control risks, all +contributing to a hard-won business result. The +Board of Supervisors had no objection to the +supervised issues during this reporting period. +Firstly, the Board and the 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 concerning +change in growth mode, structure adjustment, +as well as development and profitability. The +senior management diligently implemented the +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Report of the Board of Directors +During this reporting period, changes to the +fixed assets of Sinopec Corp. are set out in +Note 16 to the financial statements prepared +in accordance with IFRS in this annual +report. +57 +Beijing, China, 24 March 2017 +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2016 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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. +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 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 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 +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 risks of inflammation, explosion and +environmental pollution and is vulnerable to +natural disasters. Such contingencies may +cause serious impacts to the community, +major financial losses to the Company and +grievous injuries to people. The Company has +always been paying great emphasis on the +safety of 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 +impact resulting from such contingencies. +Investment risks: Petroleum and chemical +sector is a capital intensive industry. +Although the Company adopted a prudent +investment strategy and conducted rigorous +feasibility study on each investment project, +some certain investment risks may exist +in the sense that 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 complicacy of +geopolitics, economic and other conditions, +including sanctions, barriers to entry, +instability in the financial and taxation. +policies, contract defaults, 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, 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. +By order of the Board. +Wang Yupu +Chairman +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2016 +0 +13 FIXED ASSETS +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED) +The profit distribution policy of Sinopec Corp. +maintains consistency and steadiness, and +gives further consideration to the long-term +interests of the Company, overall interests +of all the shareholders and the sustainable +development of the Company.

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 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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +95 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(4) Inventories +Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost includes the cost of purchase and processing, and other expenditures incurred in bringing the +inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of inventories is 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. +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. +96 +Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +(2) Transactions in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements in foreign currencies +The unrealised profit or loss arising from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries is eliminated in full against the net profit +attributed to shareholders; the unrealised profit or loss from the sale of assets by subsidiaries to the Company is eliminated according to the +distribution ratio between shareholders of the parent company and minority interests. For sale of assets that occurred between subsidiaries, +the unrealised gains and losses is eliminated according to the distribution ratio for its subsidiaries seller between net profit attributable to +shareholders of the parent company and minority interests. +Where the accounting policies and accounting period adopted by the subsidiaries are different from those adopted by the Company, +adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements according to the Company's accounting policies and accounting period. Intra- +group balances and transactions, and any unrealised profit or loss arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the +consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised +gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. +The excess of the loss attributable to the minority interests during the period over the minority interests' share of the equity at the beginning +of the reporting period is deducted from minority interests. +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +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(10)), 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)), etc. +Principal accounting estimates and judgements of the Group are set out in Note 53. +(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 +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +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. +94 +94 +Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +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 orginal 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. +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. +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(5) Long-term equity investments (Continued) +(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates +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. +Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(8) 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(11)). For an intangible asset with finite useful life, its cost less estimated residual value and accumulated +impairment losses is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives, unless the intangible assets are classified as held for sale. +An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortised when there is no foreseeable limit to the year over which +the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Group. +Useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +(9) 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(11)). 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. +Oil and gas properties include the mineral interests in properties, wells and related support equipment arising from oil and gas exploration and +production activities. +(10) Financial Instruments +(a) Financial assets +(i) Classification and measurement +The Group classifies financial assets into different categories depending on the business model for managing the financial assets and the +contractual terms of cash flows of the financial assets: (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. Bills receivable and 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 +Debt instruments held by the Group mainly include cash at bank and on hand, and receivables, etc. These financial assets are measured +at 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. +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 transfer +to retained earnings. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +99 +Financial Statements (PRC) +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. +93 +Estimated Estimated rate +useful life of residual value +12.50 years +3% +4.30 years +3% +Useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +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. +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. +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(11). +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +97 +Financial Statements (PRC) +98 +(7) Oil and gas properties +Financial Statements (PRC) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(6) Fixed assets and construction in progress +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(11)). Construction in +progress is stated in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (see Note 3(11)). +The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset +to working condition for its intended use. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, capitalised borrowing +costs (see Note 3(18)), and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. According to legal +or contractual obligations, costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which the related assets located are included in +the initial cost. +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. +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. +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. +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 company is +registered in Beijing, the People's Republic of China, and the headquarter is located in Beijing, the People's Republic of China. The approval date of +the financial report is 22 March 2019. +According to the State Council's approval to the "Preliminary Plan for the Reorganisation of China Petrochemical Corporation" (the "Reorganisation"), +the Company was established by China Petrochemical Corporation ("Sinopec Group Company"), which transferred its core businesses together with +the related assets and liabilities at 30 September 1999 to the Company. 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. The valuation was reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Finance (the +"MOF") (Cai Ping Zi [2000] No. 20 "Comments on the Review of the Valuation Regarding the Formation of a Joint Stock Limited Company by China +Petrochemical Corporation"). +In addition, pursuant to the notice Cai Guan Zi [2000] No. 34 "Reply to the Issue Regarding Management of State-Owned Equity by China Petroleum +and Chemical Corporation" issued by the MOF, 68.8 billion domestic state-owned shares with a par value of RMB 1.00 each were issued to Sinopec +Group Company, the amount of which is equivalent to 70% of the above net asset value transferred from Sinopec Group Company to the Company +in connection with the Reorganisation. +Dai Houliang +Pursuant to the notice Guo Jing Mao Qi Gai [2000] No. 154 “Reply on the Formation of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation", the Company +obtained the approval from the State Economic and Trade Commission on 21 February 2000 for the formation of a joint stock limited company. +The Company took over the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, refining, chemicals and related sales and +marketing business of Sinopec Group Company after the establishment of the Company. +(1) the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas; +(2) the refining, transportation, storage and marketing of crude oil and petroleum product; and +(3) the production and sale of chemical. +Details of the Company's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 54, and there are no significant changes related to the consolidation scope +during current period. +2 BASIS OF PREPARATION +(1) Statement of compliance of China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("CASS") +The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Basic +Standards, specific standards and relevant regulations (hereafter referred as CASS collectively) issued by the MOF on or after 15 February +2006.

As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, the +hedging relationship shall be accounted for as follows: +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 nonfinancial 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. +Cash flow hedges +(3) The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually +hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. However, that +designation shall not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument. +(2) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. +(1) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which shares a risk and that gives rise to +opposite changes in fair value that tend to offset each other. +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +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. +Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +(d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting +Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At each balance sheet date, the fair value is remeasured. The gain or +loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss, except where the derivatives qualify for hedge accounting. +(10) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +100 +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. +(c) Determination of fair value +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. +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. +The Group's financial liabilities are mainly financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including bills payable and 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. +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. +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. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +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. +(c) Termination benefits +Employees of the Group participate in the social insurance system established and managed by local labor and social security department. +The Group makes basic pension insurance to the local social insurance agencies every month, at the applicable benchmarks and rates +stipulated by the government for the benefits of its employees. After the employees retire, the local labor and social security department has +obligations to pay them the basic pension. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group +shall recognise the accrued amount according to the above social security provisions as a liability and charge to the cost of an asset or to +profit or loss in the same period. +Basic pension insurance +The Group classifies post-employment benefits into either Defined Contribution Plan (DC plan) or Defined Benefit Plan (DB plan). DC plan +means the Group only contributes a fixed amount to an independent fund and no longer bears other payment obligation; DB plan is post- +employment benefits other than DC plan. In this reporting period, the post-employment benefits of the Group primarily comprise basic +pension insurance and unemployment insurance and both of them are DC plans. +(b) Post-employment benefits +Short term compensation includes salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee benefits, medical insurance premiums, work. +related injury insurance premium, maternity insurance premium, contributions to housing fund, unions and education fund and short-term +absence with payment etc.. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group shall recognise the +short term compensation actually incurred as a liability and charge to the cost of an asset or to profit or loss in the same period, and non- +monetary benefits are valued with the fair value. +(a) Short term compensation +Employee benefits are all forms of considerations and compensation given in exchange for services rendered by employees, including short term +compensation, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long term employee benefits. +Long-term deferred expenses are amortised on a straight-line basis over their beneficial periods. +(13) Employee benefits +(12) Long-term deferred expenses +Impairment losses for assets are not reversed. +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. +The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of expected future cash flows generated by the +asset (or asset unit, set of asset units). +An asset unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or +groups of assets. An asset unit comprises related assets that generate associated cash inflows. In identifying an asset unit, the Group primarily +considers whether the asset unit is able to generate cash inflows independently as well as the management style of production and operational +activities, and the decision for the use or disposal of asset. +Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The +recoverable amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain useful lives are estimated annually no matter there are any indications of +impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment together with related asset units or groups of asset units. +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, goodwill, intangible assets and investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures may be impaired. +(11) Impairment of other non-financial long-term assets +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +102 +Financial Statements (PRC) +101 +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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +At 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fully depreciated fixed assets which +were still in use. +At 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were temporarily +idle or pending for disposal. +At 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017, 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 2018 primarily represent impairment losses recognised in the exploration +and production ("E&P") segment of RMB 4,274 million (2017: RMB 12,611 million) on fixed assets, for the chemicals segment of RMB 1,252 +million (2017: RMB 4,779 million) of fixed assets and for the refining segment of RMB 353 million (2017: RMB 1,836 million) of fixed assets. +The primary factor resulting in the E&P segment impairment loss was downward revision of oil and gas reserve in certain 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% (2017: 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 312 million (2017: 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 315 million (2017: 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 less impairment loss on the Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities by +approximately RMB 5 million (2017: additional 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 2018 included RMB 1,567 million (2017: +RMB 1,627 million) (Note 30) and RMB 1,292 million (2017: RMB 982 million), respectively of the estimated dismantlement costs for site +restoration. +329,814 +163,266 +Balance at 31 December 2017 +Balance at 31 December 2018 +Net book value: +Balance at 31 December 2018 +Decreases for the year +Transferred from subsidiaries +302,048 +Pipeline Ltd +At 31 +December +Financial Statements (PRC) +(c) Major financial information of principal associates +40.00% +and distribution +of petrochemical +products +Company Ltd.

The recoverable amounts of the +above cash generating units are determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial +budgets approved by management covering a one-year period and pre-tax discount rates primarily ranging from 11.7% to 12.3% (2017: 10.8% to +11.4%).

The Group believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and +estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +137 +Financial Statements (PRC) +138 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +53 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +(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, 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 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 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. +(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 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +RMB thousand +5,745 +351 +6,096 +2017 +2018 +53 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS +6,901 +5,411 +731 +189 +23,482 +20,726 +19 +43 +17,511 +24,061 +12 +2,763 +25 +3,248 +Production related services represent ancillary services rendered in relation to the Group's operations such as equipment repair and general maintenance, +insurance premium, technical research, communications, firefighting, security, product quality testing and analysis, information technology, design and +engineering, construction of oilfield ground facilities, refineries and chemical plants, manufacture of replacement parts and machinery, installation, project +management and environmental protection, and management services. +2 +18,158 +18,111 +12,470 +10,165 +27,304 +23,297 +46,877 +45,334 +Note: The long-term borrowings mainly include an interest-free loan with a maturity period of 20 years amounting to RMB 35,560 million from the Sinopec Group +Company through the Sinopec Finance.

The analysis +is performed on the same basis for 2017. +Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +At 31 December 2018, 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 197 million (2017: decrease/increase RMB 4,049 million), and increase/decrease the Group's other +comprehensive income by approximately RMB 6,850 million (2017: decrease/increase RMB 701 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 2017. +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term loans. 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 21 and Note 28, respectively. +At 31 December 2018, 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 2018, the net fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB 7,844 million (2017: RMB 515 million) recognised in other receivables and derivative financial liabilities of +RMB 13,568 million (2017: RMB 2,624 million) recognised in other payables. +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'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 2018, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide the Group to borrow up to RMB +387,748 million (2017: RMB 361,852 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.87% (2017: 3.40 %).

The format is based on the Group's management and internal +reporting structure. +57 SEGMENT REPORTING +The Group is a defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. +Management has assessed the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome of such contingencies, lawsuits or other proceedings and believes that any +resulting liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Group. +Legal contingencies +The Group paid normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB 7,940 million in the consolidated financial statements for the year +ended 31 December 2018 (2017: RMB 7,851 million). +Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial +position or operating results of the Group. The PRC government, however, has moved, and may move further towards more rigorous enforcement +of applicable laws, and towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect the Group's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature and +extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to refineries, oil fields, service stations, terminals and land development areas, +whether operating, closed or sold, (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts, (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies, (iv) changes +in environmental remediation requirements, and (v) the identification of new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable +due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be +required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at +present, and could be material. +Environmental contingencies +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. +The Group monitors the conditions that are subject to the guarantees to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and recognises any +such losses under guarantees when those losses are reliably estimable. At 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017, 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. +Total +Others +24,192 +24,398 +9,732 +7,197 +940 +13,520 +(i) The Group provided a guarantee in respect to standby credit facilities granted to Zhongtian Synergetic Energy by banks amount to RMB +17,050 million.

Segment liabilities exclude short-term loans, short-term debentures payable, non-current liabilities due within one year, long- +term loans, debentures payable, deferred tax liabilities, other non-current liabilities and other unallocated 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.

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 2018, except for the amounts due from Sinopec Group Company and fellow +subsidiaries.

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. +856,535 +139,251 +717,284 +(c) As at 31 December 2018, the amount of retained earnings available for distribution was RMB 143,148 million (2017: RMB 177,049 million), being the amount +determined in accordance with CASS.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the +consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence +obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. +Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the +consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the +directors. +Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but +not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control. +As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: +Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform +audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk +of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, +intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. +Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, +whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no +other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is +a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAS will always detect a material misstatement when it +exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected +to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. +AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process. +• Evaluated and tested the key controls relating to the preparation of the +NRV models of crude oil, finished goods and work in progress of refined +oil products. +• Assessed the methodology adopted in, and tested mathematical +accuracy of the NRV models. +• On a sampling basis, compared the estimated selling prices of +inventories used in the NRV models against the recently realised selling +prices, and the prices available on domestic and international markets. +On a sampling basis, compared the costs to completion, other necessary +costs of sales and related taxes against historical data of the Group. +Based on the work, we found that the key assumptions and data adopted in +the NRV models were supported by the evidence we obtained. +The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information.

These estimated future dismantlement costs are discounted at pre-tax risk-free rate +and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs of the oil and gas properties. +The Group uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities. Under this method, costs of development +wells, the related supporting equipment and proved mineral interests in properties are capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially +capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. The impairment of exploratory well +costs occurs upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. The exploratory well costs are usually not carried as an asset +for more than one year following completion of drilling, unless (i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as +a producing well if the required capital expenditure is made; (ii) drilling of the additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned for the +near future; or (iii) other activities are being undertaken to sufficiently progress the assessing of the reserves and the economic and operating +viability of the project. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, other dry hole costs and annual lease rentals 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. +Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when the asset is substantially ready for its intended use. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 165 +(d) Trade, bills and other receivables +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +164 Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +The Group's share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the +consolidated income statement, whereas the Group's share of the post-acquisition, post-tax items of the investees' other comprehensive +income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. +Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated and separate financial statements using the equity method +from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. Under the +equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Group's share of the +investee's net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (Note 2(j) and (o)). +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. +An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary, in which the Group exercises significant influence over its management.

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)). +If a business combination involving entities not under common control is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the +acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from +such remeasurement are recognised in the consolidated income statement. +Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby +adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative +interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised. +Non-controlling interests at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests that +are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and +consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non- +controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated +statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non- +controlling interests and the shareholders of the Company. +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. +The particulars of the Group's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 40. +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)).

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)). +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. +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. +Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

The differences between the carrying amounts and the consideration received are recognised in profit or loss. +The Group's financial liabilities are mainly financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including bills payable, trade accounts 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. +(I) Financial liabilities +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. +Trade accounts receivables, 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. +Financial Statements (International) +Impairment +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. +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: +Financial Statements (International) +169 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +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 nonfinancial 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. +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. +(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. +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): +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. +Cash flow hedges +(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. +(ii) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. +(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. +(i) The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and +(k) Financial assets +When securities classified as available-for-sale were derecognised or impaired, the accumulated gains or losses recognised in other +comprehensive income were reclassified to the consolidated income statement. +Subsequent to the initial recognition, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments were carried at amortised cost using the +effective interest method. +For financial instruments on the first stage and the second stage, and that have low credit risk, the Group calculates interest income +according to carrying amount without deducting the impairment allowance and effective interest rate. For financial instruments on the third +stage, interest income is calculated according to the carrying amount minus amortised cost after the provision of impairment allowance and +effective interest rate. +For financial instruments that have low credit risk at the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that there is no significant increase in credit +risk since the initial recognition, and measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. +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. +(ii) Impairment +For receivables 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. +In addition, the Group designates some equity instruments that are not held for trading as financial assets at fair value through other +comprehensive income, are presented in financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. 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 +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 +out-standing. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate method. +Debt instruments held by the Group mainly includes cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with financial institutions, receivables. These +financial assets are measured at amortised cost. +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. Trade +accounts receivable and bills receivable arising from sale of goods or rendering services, without significant financing component, are initially +recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Group. +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, c) financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. A contractual cash flow +characteristic which could have only a de minimis effect, or could have an effect that is more than de minimis but is not genuine, does not +affect the classification of the financial asset. +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. +Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss were subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or +losses arising from changes in the fair value were recognised as follows: for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in profit or +loss within other gains/(losses), for available-for-sale financial assets in other comprehensive income. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +Financial Statements (International) +The measurement at initial recognition did not change on adoption of IFRS 9. +Subsequent measurement +The classification depended on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determined the classification of its +investments at initial recognition. +Until 31 December 2017, the group classified its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or +loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. +Classification +(iv) Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017 +167 +On derecognition of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, 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.

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 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. +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, 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. +(o) 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. +Cash flow hedges (Continued) +(n) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2018 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +170 +Before tax +amount +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. +2017 +(q) Interest-bearing borrowings +Financial Statements (International) +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.

ended 31 December 2018 primarily represent impairment losses recognised in the exploration and production +("E&P") segment of RMB 4,274 million (2017: RMB 13,556 million), the chemicals segment of RMB 1,374 million (2017: RMB 4,922 million) and for the refining +segment of RMB 353 million (2017: RMB 1,894 million), most of which are impairment losses on property, plant and equipment. The primary factor resulting in +the E&P segment impairment loss was downward revision of oil and gas reserve in certain 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% (2017: +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 312 million (2017: 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 315 million (2017: 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 less impairment loss on the Group's properties, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities by +approximately RMB 5 million (2017: additional 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. +Note: +2017 +2018 +1,495.20 +1,218.00 +1,711.52 +1,948.64 +2,105.20 +1,411.20 +2,109.76 +Effective from +13 January 2015 +RMB/Ton +235,292 +246,498 +5,459 +7,152 +4,841 +RMB million +RMB million +7,539 +(1,978) +4,893 +(16,554) +(5,360) +(649) +(2,849) +3,941 +(152) +(180) +(i) Government grants for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017 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. +(89) +(1,518) +(1,526) +(21,258) +(6,281) +(909) +Tax +effect +(813) +(276) +Net of tax +amount +RMB million +RMB million RMB million +(935) +(27) +(569) +(336) +(96) +44 +4 +(36) +(84) +(447) +10,317 +582 +(1) +(1,786) +8,665 +Recognised in +260 +Recognised +117 +2,325 +1,925 +(215) +9 +313 +8 +115 +(3,351) +8,475 +287 +(8) +(1,181) +4,222 +2,477 +(135) +(17) +117 +Balance at +consolidated +in other +Property, plant and equipment +4,222 +2,650 +(130) +19 +Tax losses carried forward +2,325 +1,414 +6 +(36) +Transferred +from +reserve +RMB million +31 December +2018 +RMB million +3 +2,029 +(10) +115 +Cash flow hedges +1 January +2018 +income comprehensive +statement +income +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +1,534 +Others +RMB million +381 +2,176 +3 +Payables +1,925 +(117) +- +Receivables and inventories +2,563 +391 +(1) +474 +227 +(535) +(563) +Others +174 +Deferred tax assets/(liabilities) +25,403 +180 +19,470 +(428) +(264) +(9,657) +(10,805) +At 31 December 2018, certain subsidiaries of the Company did not recognise deferred tax of deductible loss carried forward of RMB 18,308 million +(2017: RMB 20,821 million), of which RMB 2,437 million (2017: RMB 5,938 million) was incurred for the year ended 31 December 2018, because +it was not probable that the future taxable profits will be realised. These deductible losses carried forward of RMB 2,373 million, RMB 3,887 million, +RMB 3,673 million, RMB 5,938 million and RMB 2,437 will expire in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022,2023 and after, respectively. +Periodically, management performed assessment on the probability that future taxable profit will be available over the period which the deferred tax +assets can be realised or utilised. In assessing the probability, both positive and negative evidence was considered, including whether it is probable +that the operations will have sufficient future taxable profits over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible or utilised and whether the +tax losses result from identifiable causes which are unlikely to recur.

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 production licenses issued to the Group is 80 years as a special dispensation was given to the Group by the State Council.

At 31 +December 2018, the amount withdrawn by Zhongtian Synergetic Energy and guaranteed by the Group was RMB 12,168 million (2017: 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. +The Group paid normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB 7,940 million in the consolidated financial statements for the year +ended 31 December 2018 (2017: RMB 7,851 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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +193 +Financial Statements (International) +194 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2018 +36 BUSINESS COMBINATION +For the year ended 31 December 2018, significant business combination didn't occur in the Group. +On 26 October 2017, a subsidiary of the Company, Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co., Ltd., purchased 50% equity interest in Shanghai SECCO from BP +Chemicals East China Investment Limited with a cash consideration of RMB 10,135 million ("the Transaction").

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure +of the Group, management may cause the Group to issue new shares, adjust the capital expenditure plan, sell assets to reduce debt, or adjust the +proportion of short-term and long-term loans.

Financial liabilities of the Group include short-term debts, loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, derivative +financial liabilities, bills payable, trade accounts payable, amounts due to Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries, other payables and long- +term debts. +The Group has exposure to the following risks from its uses of financial instruments: +343 +credit risk; +• 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 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 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 deposit) 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 accounts receivable at 31 December 2018, 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, 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. +(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 receivables 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 receivables, the group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime +expected loss allowance for all trade accounts receivables. +RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million +To measure the expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables 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 month before 31 December 2018 or 1 January 2018, +respectively, and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period.

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. +Derivative financial liabilities: +Level 1 +Fair value +31 December +2018 +RMB million +63,085 +62,656 +31 December +2017 +RMB million +79,738 +78,040 +The Group has not developed an internal valuation model necessary to estimate the fair values of loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries as it is not considered practicable to estimate their fair values because the cost of obtaining discount and borrowing rates for +comparable borrowings would be excessive based on the Reorganisation, the Group's existing capital structure and the terms of the borrowings. +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 2018 and 2017. +42 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 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2018 +42 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +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 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. +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. +43 PARENT AND ULTIMATE HOLDING COMPANY +The directors consider the parent and ultimate holding company of the Group as at 31 December 2018 is Sinopec Group Company, a state-owned +enterprise established in the PRC. This entity does not produce financial statements available for public use. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 209 +Financial Statements (International) +5,761 +Carrying amount +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 2.76% to +4.90% (2017: 1.79% 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 2018 and 2017: +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. +(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value +Level 2 +RMB million +RMB million +Level 3 +RMB million +Total +RMB million +51,196 +51,196 +178 +178 +343 +183 +526 +521 +183 +· Derivative financial liabilities +51,196 +1,277 +1,277 +1,388 +1,388 +2,665 +2,665 +During the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017, there was no transfer between instruments in Level 1 and Level 2. +Management of the Group uses discounted cash flow model with inputted interest rate and commodity index, which were influenced by historical +fluctuation and the probability of market fluctuation, to evaluate the fair value of the structural deposits classified as Level 3 financial assets. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +207 +Financial Statements (International) +208 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2018 +41 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Fair values (Continued) +51,900 +Interest rate risk +Other than the amounts as disclosed above, the amounts of other financial assets and liabilities of the Group are substantially denominated in the +functional currency of respective entity within the Group. +50 +13,571 +13,571 +Trade accounts payable and bills payable +192,757 +192,757 +192,757 +Other payables +85,790 +85,790 +85,790 +446,772 +459,257 +356,257 +54,915 +30,931 +17,154 +31 December 2017 +Total +contractual +Carrying +amount +undiscounted +1 +Within +year or +More than 1 +RMB million +RMB million +cash flow +on demand +RMB million +year but less +than 2 years +RMB million +13,571 +Derivatives financial liabilities +1,362 +3,741 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2018 +41 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Liquidity risk +Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach in managing +liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed +conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. Management prepares monthly cash flow budget +to ensure that 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. +At 31 December 2018, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide borrowings up to RMB 387,748 +million (2017: RMB 361,852 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.87% per annum (2017: 3.40%).

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 +2018 and 2017 and should not be relied upon as an indication of the Group's and its equity method investments' future cash flows or value of

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 refined oil import and export quotas and +procedures, formulation of safety, quality +and environmental protection standards +and formulation of energy conservation +policies.

The Company's business +could also be adversely affected by other +factors such as the impact on export due to +trade protectionism from certain countries, +impact on import which is likely caused by +regional trade agreements, and negative +impact on the investment of overseas oil +and gas exploration and development and +refining and chemical storage projects which +results from the uncertainty of geopolitics, +international crude oil price and etc. +In the course of its production and +operations, the Company will actively take +various measures to circumvent operational +risks.

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 concerning change +in growth mode, structure adjustment, as well +as development and profitability.

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. +Secondly, the reports and financial statements +prepared by Sinopec Corp. in 2018 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.

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 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, injury to people, property, +environment and reputation. As cyber- +security attacks continue to evolve, we may +be required to expend additional resources +to enhance our protective measures against +cyber-security breaches. +By Order of the Board +Dai Houliang +Chairman +Beijing, China, 22 March 2019 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2018 +61 +Report of the Board of Directors +62 +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS +Dear Shareholders: +In 2018, the Board of Supervisors and +each supervisor of Sinopec Corp. diligently +performed their supervision responsibilities, +actively participated in the supervision process +of decision making, carefully reviewed and +effectively supervised the major decisions of +the Company, and endeavored to safeguard the +interests of shareholders and the Company in +accordance with the PRC Company Law and the +Articles of Association of Sinopec Corp. +During this reporting period, the Board of +Supervisors held five (5) 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, working report of the +Board of Supervisors and continuing connected +transactions etc. +On 23 March 2018, the 13th meeting of the +sixth session of the Board of Supervisors was +held, and the proposals in relation to Annual +Report of Sinopec Corp. for 2017, the Financial +Statements of Sinopec Corp. for 2017, 2017 +Communication on Progress for Sustainable +Development of Sinopec Corp., Internal Control +Assessment Report of Sinopec Corp. for 2017, +Work Report of the Board of Supervisors of +Sinopec Corp. for 2017, Work Report of the +Sixth Session of the Board of Supervisors of +Sinopec Corp., were reviewed and approved at +the meeting. +On 26 April 2018, the 14th meeting of the +sixth session of the Board of Supervisors was +held, and the proposal in relation to the First +Quarterly Report of Sinopec Corp. for 2018 was +reviewed and approved at the meeting. +On 15 May 2018, the 1st meeting of the seventh +session of the Board of Supervisors was held, +and Mr. Zhao Dong was elected as Chairman of +the Board of Supervisors of Sinopec Corp. +Li Yunpeng +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. +1 INTRODUCTION OF +AND OTHER SENIOR +MANAGEMENT +Commander of Sichuan-East +China Gas Pipeline Project +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.

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. +As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: +• 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. +• +• +• +⋅ +Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by +management. +Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether +a material uncertainty exists relating 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. +84 +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. +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. +We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, +and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, +related safeguards. +From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of +the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law +or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be +communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of +such communication. +Financial Statements (PRC) +PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP +Shanghai, the People's Republic of China +22 March 2019 +Annual Report 2018 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Signing CPA +Zhao Jianrong +(Engagement Partner) +Signing CPA +Xu Xia +(A) +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.

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 +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 other equity +instrument investments; 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. +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +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. +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 +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. +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 +(3) Cash and cash equivalents +Minority interest is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity. Net profit or loss attributable to +minority shareholders is presented separately in the consolidated income statement below the net profit line item. +Where control of a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal of the equity investment held in a subsidiary, or any other reasons, the Group +derecognises assets, liabilities, minority interests and other equity items related to the subsidiary. The remaining equity investment is +remeasured to fair value at the date in which control is lost. The sum of consideration received from disposal of equity investment and the +fair value of the remaining equity investment, net of the fair value of the Group's previous share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets +recorded from the acquisition date, is recognised in investment income in the period in which control is lost. Other comprehensive income +related to the previous equity investment in the subsidiary, is transferred to investment income when control is lost. Other comprehensive +income related to the equity investment of the original subsidiary shall be converted into the current investment income in the event of loss +of control. +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements (Continued) +Principal accounting estimates and judgements of the Group are set out in Note 58. +(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 +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 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. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +95 +Financial Statements (PRC) +96 +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(1) Accounting treatment of business combination involving entities under common control and not under common control (Continued) +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. +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(6) Leases +A lease is a contract that a lessor transfers the right to use an identified asset for a period of time to a lessee in exchange for consideration. +(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. +(b) 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. +(7) Fixed assets and construction in progress +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)). +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. +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. +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. +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. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +99 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Net increase in cash and cash equivalents +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +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. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Annual Report 2021 +97 +Financial Statements (PRC) +98 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(5) Long-term equity investments (Continued) +(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. +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. +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). +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +135 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +39,444 +13,612 +13,612 +(13,498) +13,612 +39,444 +53,056 +(13,498) +3,944 +39,444 +(3,944) +(35,110) +(39,054) +(35,110) +4.

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 financial assets measured at amortised cost and receivables +financing measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. +(ii) Impairment +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. +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. +Equity instruments +The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for +selling the financial assets, the contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending +arrangements. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of +impairment gains or losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income calculated using the effective interest rate method, +which are recognised in profit or loss. The financial assets include receivables financing. +Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: +(a) Financial assets (Continued) +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. +(ii) Impairment (Continued) +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. +102 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Subsequent to initial recognition, the amount initially recognised as deferred income is amortised in profit or loss over the term of the +guarantee as income from financial guarantees issued. +Financial guarantees issued are initially recognised at fair value, which is determined by reference to fees charged in an arm's length +transaction for similar services, when such information is obtainable, or to interest rate differentials, by comparing the actual rates charged +by lenders when the guarantee is made available with the estimated rates that lenders would have charged, had the guarantees not been +available, where reliable estimates of such information can be made. Where consideration is received or receivable for the issuance of the +guarantee, the consideration is recognised in accordance with the Group's policies applicable to that category of asset. Where no such +consideration is received or receivable, an immediate expense is recognised in profit or loss. +Financial guarantees are contracts that requires the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a +specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. +Financial guarantee liabilities +Where the present obligations of financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the Group derecognises these financial liabilities +or discharged parts of obligations. The differences between the carrying amounts and the consideration received are recognised in profit or +loss. +The 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 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. +(b) Financial liabilities +On derecognition of other equity instrument investments, the difference between the carrying amounts and the sum of the consideration +received and any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income, is recognised in retained earnings. While +on derecognition of other financial assets, this difference is recognised in profit or loss. +The Group derecognises a financial asset when a) the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset expires; b) the Group +transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; c) the financial assets have +been transferred and the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but +the Group has not retained control. +(iii)Derecognition +The Group recognises the loss allowance accrued or written back in profit or loss. +For accounts receivable and receivables financing related to revenue, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to +lifetime expected credit losses. +For financial instruments 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. +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 +Oil and gas properties include the mineral interests in properties, wells and related support equipment arising from oil and gas exploration and +production activities. +3% +of residual value +3% +Estimated rate +Estimated +useful life +12-50 years +4-30 years +(8) Oil and gas properties +Useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +Equipment, machinery and others +Plants and buildings +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: +(7) Fixed assets and construction in progress (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +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. +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. +The Group classifies financial assets into different categories depending on the business model for managing the financial assets and the +contractual terms of cash flows of the financial assets: (1) financial assets measured at amortised cost, (2) financial assets measured at +fair value through other comprehensive income, (3) financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. A contractual cash flow +characteristic which could have only a de minimis effect, or could have an effect that is more than de minimis but is not genuine, does +not affect the classification of the financial asset. +(i) Classification and measurement +(a) Financial assets +Financial instruments, refer to the contracts that form one party's financial assets and form the financial liabilities or equity instruments of the +other party. The Group recognises a financial asset or a financial liability when the Group enters into and becomes a party to the underlining +contract of the financial instrument. +(11) Financial Instruments +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. +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +100 +Goodwill is not amortised and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see Note 3(12)).

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) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +104 +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.

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. +A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognised firm +commitment, or a portion of such an asset, liability or firm commitment. +Cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with all, or a +component of, a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable-rate debt) or a highly probable +forecast transaction, and could affect profit or loss. As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, +the hedging relationship shall be accounted for as follows: +Cash flow hedges +- +(3) The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually +hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. However, that +designation shall not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument. +(2) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. +(1) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which share a risk and that gives rise to opposite +changes in fair value that tend to offset each other. +A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in cash flows are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged +item. +Hedged items are the items that expose the Group to risks of changes in future cash flows and that are designated as being hedged and that +must be reliably measurable. The Group's hedged items include a forecast transaction that is settled with an undetermined future market +price and exposes the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, etc. +Hedge accounting is a method which recognises the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the hedging instrument +and the hedged item in the same accounting period, to represent the effect of risk management activities. +Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At each balance sheet date, the fair value is remeasured. The gain or +loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss, except where the derivatives qualify for hedge accounting. +(d) 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. +(c) Determination of fair value +The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument is recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedged item +attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the recognised hedged item not measured at fair value and is +recognised in profit or loss. +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +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. +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +(3) (Continued) +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. +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. +Cash flow hedges (Continued) +- +Fair value hedges +When the hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting +(i.e. 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. +(d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +103 +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +7.2 +37,254 +Total +of allowance +0.2 +0276 +2328 +76.8 +2.3 +100.0 +At 31 December 2020 +35,255 +100.0 +1,531 +The Company +At 31 December 2021 +Percentage +of allowance +1,200 +Percentage +1,590 +4.4 +8,513 +52.9 +68.1 +24,010 +Percentage +51 +1.6 +112 +18.8 +24.2 +196 +Between two and three years +7,661 +20.6 +165 +2.2 +1,169 +3.3 +84 +Over three years +2,417 +6.5 +1,278 +1,563 +to total other +0.1 +receivables +2 +0.1 +2,123 +5.5 +1 +Between two and three years +1,414 +3.0 +2 +1,618 +4.2 +5 +0.3 +Over three years +14,497 +30.3 +894 +6.2 +13,716 +0.1 +35.3 +7.8 +Amount +3,740 +55.0 +Allowance +to other +receivables +balance +Percentage +to total other +to other +receivables +Amount +receivables +Allowance +RMB million +% +RMB million +% +RMB million +% +RMB million +balance +% +Within one year +28,176 +58.9 +21,378 +Between one and two years +35 +Transferred from construction in progress +26,579 +597 +102 +3.9 +2,637 +100.0 +60596 +7 +4.4 +4 +3.9 +3.3 +11 +Percentage to the total balance of prepayments +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +At 31 December +At 31 December +2021 +2,939 +2020 +1,131 +31.4% +22.9% +Total amount (RMB million) +1.5 +39 +6.0 +891 +Total +123 +4,556 +2.7 +100.0 +Over three years +At 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the total amounts of the top five prepayments of the Group are set out below: +4 +16 +21513 +003 +% +Amount +RMB million +to total +prepayments +prepayments +% +Allowance +RMB million +balance +% +0.5 +2,337 +159 +88.6 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +10 OTHER RECEIVABLES +Other receivables +Percentage +to total other +Amount +receivables +Allowance +balance +Amount +receivables +Allowance +At 31 December 2020 +Percentage +of allowance +to other +receivables +balance +RMB million +% +RMB million +% +RMB million +% +RMB million +% +Within one year +Between one and two years +to other +receivables +71.3 +to total other +of allowance +Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts +Total +Ageing analysis of other receivables is as follows: +The Group +At 31 December +2021 +RMB million +At 31 December +2020 +RMB million +37,254 +1,590 +35,664 +35,255 +1,531 +33,724 +The Company +At 31 December +2021 +RMB million +At 31 December +2020 +RMB million +47,827 +38,835 +898 +46,929 +897 +37,938 +At 31 December 2021 +The Group +Percentage +Percentage +6.5 +by the Company +47,827 +(3,069) +199 +Movement of provision for impairment +Balance at 31 December 2021 +277,310 +17,609 +73,854 +(41) +(7,926) +(41) +(8) +199 +360,847 +Details of the Company's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 59. +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +12 LONG-TERM EQUITY INVESTMENTS (Continued) +Principal joint ventures and associates of the Group are as follows: +(a) Principal joint ventures and associates +Percentage of +equity/voting right +directly or +indirectly held +For the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group and the Company had no individually significant long-term investment impairment. +Other movement +173 +(2,406) +12 +Investments in +subsidiaries +RMB million +266,939 +12,646 +Investments in +joint ventures +RMB million +Investments in +associates +RMB million +Provision for +impairment +14,762 +812 +4,190 +69,540 +1,014 +losses +RMB million +(7,885) +Total +RMB million +343,356 +3,961 +12 +Other equity movements under the equity method +Dividends declared +Disposals for the year +(2,275) +18 +(1,387) +(786) +155 +(1,019) +14,472 +8,151 +Name of investees +Principal place +of business +Register +location +Legal +representative +Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company +Saudi Arabia +Saudi Arabia +ΝΑ +Crude oil and natural gas extraction +Petroleum refining and processing +25,000 USD +49.00% +1,560 million USD +37.50% +Ltd.

ended 31 December 2021 included RMB2, 163 million (2020: +RMB1,563 million) and RMB1,525 million (2019: RMB1,256 million), respectively of the estimated dismantlement costs for site restoration. +In 2021, the impairment loss on fixed assets was mainly due to the impairment loss of the chemical segment of RMB5,184 million (2020: +RMB2,680 million), and the impairment loss of the exploration and development segment of RMB2,467 million (2020: RMB8,435 million). +RMB894 million (2020: RMB226 million), impairment loss of the refining segment and RMB873 million (2020: RMB442 million) of the marketing +and distribution segment. The impairment losses in the exploration and development segment were mainly impairment losses on fixed assets +related to oil and gas production activities. Among them, oil and gas properties and other fixed assets provided impairment losses of RMB1,904 +billion and RMB563 million respectively, which were mainly related to the decline in oil and gas reserves of individual oilfields. The Exploration +and Development segment allocates fixed assets related to oil and gas production activities into individually identifiable groups of assets and +estimates their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is determined based on the discounted value of the reserves of the relevant asset +group and estimated future cash flows, and the pre-tax discount rate adopted is 10.47% (2020: 10.47%). If the Group's estimate of future oil +prices is lowered, further impairment losses may be incurred and the aggregate amount of impairment losses may be significant. With other +conditions remaining constant and a 5% drop in oil prices, the Group's impairment loss on fixed assets related to oil and gas production +activities will increase by approximately RMB3,628 million (2020: RMB4,548 million); Other conditions remain unchanged and operating +costs increase by 5%, the Group's impairment loss on fixed assets related to oil and gas production activities will increase by approximately +RMB2,400 million (2020: RMB2,836 million); With other conditions remaining unchanged and the discount rate increasing by 5%, the Group's +impairment loss on fixed assets related to oil and gas production activities will increase by approximately RMB180 million (2020: RMB287 +million). Impairment losses recognised in the chemical segment and refining segment relate to certain refinery and chemical production facilities +and are not individually significant. The primary factors resulting in the impairment losses were due to the suspension of operations of certain +production facilities, and evidence that indicate the economic performance of certain production facilities was lower than the expectation, thus +the carrying amounts of these facilities were written down to their recoverable amounts, which were determined based on the present values of +expected future cash flows of the assets using a pre-tax discount rates ranging from 10.50% to 13.9% (2020: 9.87% to 11.60%). +At 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were pledged. +At 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fixed assets which were temporarily +idle or pending for disposal. +At 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group and the Company had no individually significant fully depreciated fixed assets which +were still in use. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +119 +Financial Statements (PRC) +500,000 +Balance at 1 January 2021 +Cost: +22,096 +69,862 +24,327 +43,307 +21,428 +Additions for the year +359 +1,901 +3,472 +64,751 +5,732 +Transferred to subsidiaries +Decreases for the year +Total +RMB million +Balance at 31 December 2021 +Balance at 31 December 2021 +(27) +(2) +(29) +(21) +(571) +(592) +2,228 +Net book value: +1,152 +Equipment, +machinery +and others +RMB million +Plants and +buildings +RMB million +(i) Sinopec is able to exercise significant influence in PipeChina since Sinopec has a member in PipeChina's Board of Directors and has a member in PipeChina's +Management Board. +Notes: +The share of profit and other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2021 in all individually immaterial associates accounted +for using equity method in aggregate was RMB7,283 million (2020: RMB3,444 million) and RMB271 million (2020: loss of RMB1,101 million) +respectively.

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. +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. +(iv) Chemicals - which manufactures and sells petrochemical products, derivative petrochemical products and other chemical products to external +customers. +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. +146 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +(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. +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +63 SEGMENT REPORTING +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Total +Notes: +(i) The Group provided a guarantee in respect to standby credit facilities granted to Zhongan United Coal Chemical Co., Ltd.

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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +145 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +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. +Marketing and distribution +63 SEGMENT REPORTING (Continued) +Reportable information on the Group's operating segments is as follows: +Refining +Marketing and distribution +Chemicals +Corporate and others +Consolidated income from other operations +Consolidated operating income +Operating profit/(loss) +By segment +Exploration and production +Exploration and production +Marketing and distribution +Chemicals +Corporate and others +Elimination +Total segment operating profit +Investment income +Exploration and production +Refining +(1) Information of reportable segmental revenues, profits or losses, assets and liabilities (Continued) +Income from other operations +Elimination of inter-segment sales +Income from principal operations +Exploration and production +External sales +Inter-segment sales +Refining +External sales +Inter-segment sales +Consolidated income from principal operations +Marketing and distribution +Inter-segment sales +Chemicals +External sales +Inter-segment sales +Corporate and others +External sales +Inter-segment sales +External sales +14,840 +1,796 +11,269 +11 +100.00 +RMB1,856 +RMB1,400 +RMB million +% +million +RMB5,000 +2021 +2021 +Interests at +31 December +Minority +equity +interest/ +voting right +held by the +Actual +investment at +31 December +Registered +capital/paid- +up capital +million +Principal activities +Group +Production and sale of catalyst products +RMB6,585 +5,259 +210,215 +213,455 +65,103 +47,992 +197,447 +117,684 +Total segment liabilities +100.00 +761,226 +Short-term loans +RMB15,651 +Manufacturing of intermediate petrochemical products and +233 +100.00 +RMB2,424 +RMB1,500 +671,718 +135,157 +Trading of crude oil and petrochemical products +Sinopec Overseas Investment Holding Limited ("SOIH") +Sinopec Chemical Sales Company Limited +(e) Allowance for diminution in value of inventories +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. +ECLS are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the +difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). +(d) Measurement of expected credit losses +Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account the estimated residual +value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets at least annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense +to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Group's historical experience with similar assets and taking into +account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous +estimates. +(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 "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. +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. +(b) Impairment for assets +Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration +the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in the similar geographic area, including estimation +of economic life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are +capitalised as oil and gas properties with equivalent amounts recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs. +Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the +subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have +to be met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as "proved". Proved and proved developed reserves estimates are updated +at least annually and take into account recent production and technical information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels +change from year to year, the estimate of proved and proved developed reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate +for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in related depreciation rates. Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on +the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil and gas properties reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves +estimates are revised downwards, the Group's earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the +carrying amount of oil and properties. +The accounting for the exploration and production segment's oil and gas activities is subject to accounting rules that are unique to the oil and +gas industry. The Group has used the successful efforts method to account for oil and gas business activities. The successful efforts method +reflects the volatility that is inherent in exploring for mineral resources in that costs of unsuccessful exploratory efforts are charged to expense. +These costs primarily include dry hole costs, seismic costs and other exploratory costs. +(a) Oil and gas properties and reserves +58 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +140 +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in determining depreciation expense, impairment +expense and future dismantlement costs.

At 31 December 2021, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB18,359 million (2020: RMB12,353 million) and derivative financial liabilities of RMB3,214 million (2020: +RMB4,808 million). +Level 2: fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar financial instruments, or using valuation techniques in which +all significant inputs are directly or indirectly based on observable market data. +15,456 +28,138 +18,371 +43,513 +253,575 +114,036 +262,059 +Management believes that the Group's current cash on hand, expected cash flows from operations and available standby credit facilities from +financial institutions will be sufficient to meet the Group's short-term and long-term capital requirements. +Market risk +Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The objective of market risk management is +to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk. +(a) Currency risk +Currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. +The Group does not have significant financial instruments that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currencies of +respective entities as at 31 December, and consequently does not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk. +(b) Interest rate risk +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term loans. Loans carrying interest at variable 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 31, respectively. +At 31 December 2021, 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 RMB254 million (2020: decrease/increase RMB245 +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 2020. +(c) Commodity price risk +The Group engages in oil and gas operations and is exposed to commodity price risk related to price volatility of crude oil, refined oil products +and chemical products. The fluctuations in prices of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products could have significant impact on the +Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments, including commodity futures and swaps contracts, to manage a portion of such risk. +At 31 December 2021, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of USD10 per barrel in basic price of derivative financial instruments, +with all other variables held constant, would impact the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which would increase/decrease the Group's +net profit for the year by approximately RMB2,996 million (2020: increase/decrease RMB3,592 million), and decrease/increase the Group's +other comprehensive income by approximately RMB1,160 million (2020: increase/decrease RMB10,379 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 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 accounts receivable and receivables financing is listed in note 7 and note 8. +The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 31 December 2021 or 31 December +2020, respectively, and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period and calculate expected credit losses for the +above financial assets using an allowance matrix 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. +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. +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. +- +Liquidity risk +The Group's cash deposits are placed only with large financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings, and there is no material impairment +loss identified. +(ii) Impairment of financial assets +Credit risk (Continued) +64 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +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. +280,652 +Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group encounters short fall of capital when meeting its obligation of financial liabilities.

The +value in use amounts of these CGUS are sensitive to the changes to +future selling prices and production costs for crude oil and natural gas, +future production profiles, and discount rates. Therefore a higher degree +of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company's +impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment relating to oil +and gas producing activities. +The Company groups property, plant and equipment relating to oil +and gas producing activities into cash-generating units ("CGUS") for +impairment assessment. The Company compares the carrying amount of +individual CGU with its value in use, using a discounted cash flow forecast, +which was prepared based on the future production profiles included in +the oil and gas reserves reports, to determine the impairment loss to be +recognised. +The Company reported property, plant and equipment of Renminbi ("RMB") +598,925 million as at 31 December 2021, a portion of which related to +oil and gas producing activities. The Company reported impairment losses +of RMB2,467 million for the property, plant and equipment relating to oil +and gas producing activities for the year ended 31 December 2021. +The Key Audit Matter +we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness +of certain internal controls related to the process for impairment +assessment of property, plant and equipment relating to oil and +gas producing activities; +Refer to notes 2(g), 2(n), 8, 17 and 44 to the consolidated financial statements +KEY AUDIT MATTER +We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAS") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public +Accountants ("HKICPA"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the +consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for +Professional Accountants ("the Code") together with any ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in +the People's Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code. We believe +that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. +BASIS FOR OPINION +In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December +2021 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial +Reporting Standards ("IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and have been properly prepared in compliance with +the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. +We have audited the consolidated financial statements of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Group") +set out on pages 158 to 215, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated income +statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of +cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. ++852 2845 2588 +kpmg.com/cn +Assessment of impairment of property, plant and equipment relating to oil and gas producing activities +The directors are assisted by the Audit Committee in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process. +we assessed the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the +Company's reserves specialists and evaluated the methodology +adopted by them in estimating the oil and gas reserves against +the recognised industry standards; +we compared future production costs and future production +profiles used in the discounted cash flow forecasts with oil and +gas reserves reports issued by the reserves specialists; and +The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSS +issued by the IASB 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. +RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that +fact.

In the event +that the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital, no transfer is required. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of a dividend to +shareholders. Statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good previous years' losses, if any, and may be converted into share capital by issuing of new shares to +shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the balance after such issue is +not less than 25% of the registered capital. +During the year ended 31 December 2021, the Company transferred RMB3,944 million (2020: RMB1,857 million) to the statutory surplus reserve, being 10% of the +current year's net profit determined in accordance with the accounting policies complying with CASS. +(b) The usage of the discretionary surplus reserve is similar to that of statutory surplus reserve. +(c) As at 31 December 2021, the amount of retained earnings available for distribution was RMB116,440 million (2020: RMB115,849 million), being the amount determined in +accordance with CASS. According to the Articles of Association of the Company, the amount of retained earnings available for distribution to shareholders of the Company +is lower of the amount determined in accordance with the accounting policies complying with CASS and the amount determined in accordance with the accounting policies +complying with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). +(d) The capital reserve represents (i) the difference between the total amount of the par value of shares issued and the amount of the net assets transferred from Sinopec +Group Company in connection with the Reorganisation (Note 1); and (ii) the difference between the considerations paid over or received the amount of the net assets of +entities and related operations acquired from or sold to Sinopec Group Company and non-controlling interests. +(e) The application of the share premium account is governed by Sections 167 and 168 of the PRC Company Law. +The notes on pages 165 to 215 form part of these consolidated financial statements. +162 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +(Amounts in million) +Note +Year ended 31 December +2021 +2020 +RMB +RMB +140,892 +(48,243) +774,182 +2,495 +(1.396) +(6,796) +(8,192) +(7,520) +3,944 +(39,054) +(42,630) +(13,805) +(56,435) +121,071 +319 +27,062 +723 +(802) +240 +159 +399 +55,850 +96,224 +117,000 +354,480 +2020 +RMB +RMB +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 date of the statement of financial position. +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. +The statement of financial position items, including goodwill arising on consolidation of foreign operations are translated into Renminbi at the +closing foreign exchange rates at the date of the statement of financial position. 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 loss allowances +for ECLS (Note 2(j)). Trade, bills and other receivables are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from these financial +assets expire or if the Group transfers these financial assets to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of +the assets. +(e) Inventories +Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost mainly includes the cost of purchase computed using the weighted +average method and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. +Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated +costs necessary to make the sale. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 167 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +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. +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: +(b) Translation of foreign currencies +Buildings +A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by those entities. All intra-Group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions +between combining entities or businesses are eliminated on consolidation. Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, +costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., +incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting is recognised as an expense +in the period in which it is incurred. +The consolidated 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. +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 statement of financial position, 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's share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate or the joint venture, the Group's interest is reduced to nil and +recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made +payments on behalf of the investee. For this purpose, the Group's interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method, +together with any other long-term interests that in substance form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or the joint venture, +after applying the expected credit losses ("ECLS") model to such other long-term interests where applicable. +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 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(a) Basis of consolidation (Continued) +(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. +(iv) Merger accounting for common control combination +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 beginning of the earliest period presented or when they first came under common control, +whichever is shorter. +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. +Equipment, machinery and others +Estimated +Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant +transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The transaction costs for other financial assets are included in the initially recognised +amount. However, trade accounts receivable and bills receivable arising from sale of goods or rendering services, without significant financing +component, are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Group. +Debt instruments +Debt instruments held by the Group mainly includes cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with financial institutions, receivables. These +financial assets are measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. +Amortised cost: The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows. The +contractual cash flow characteristics are to give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on +the principal amount outstanding. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate method. +FVOCI: The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for +selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount +outstanding. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment +gains or losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income calculated using the effective interest rate method, which are +recognised in profit or loss. +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 in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. +In addition, the Group designates some equity instruments that are not held for trading as financial assets at FVOCI, are presented in +financial assets at FVOCI. The relevant dividends of these financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. When derecognised, the cumulative +gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings. +(ii) Impairment +The Group recognises a loss allowance for ECLs on a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost and a debt instrument that is +measured at FVOCI. +The Group measures and recognises ECLs, considering reasonable and supportable information about the relevant past events, current +conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. +The Group measures the ECLs of financial instruments on different stages at each the date of the statement of financial position. 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 ECLs. 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 ECLs. 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 ECLs. +For financial instruments that have low credit risk at the date of the statement of financial position, 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 ECLs. +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 trade accounts receivable and bills receivable and financial assets at FVOCI related to revenue, the Group measures the loss allowance at +an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. +The Group recognises the loss allowance accrued or written back in profit or loss. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +169 +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +The Group classifies financial assets into different categories depending on the business model for managing the financial assets and the +contractual terms of cash flows of the financial assets: a) financial assets measured at amortised cost, b) financial assets measured at fair +value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), c) financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. A contractual cash +flow characteristic which could have only a de minimis effect, or could have an effect that is more than de minimis but is not genuine, does +not affect the classification of the financial asset. +Estimated usage +period +12 to 50 years +4 to 30 years +(i) Classification and measurement +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +residuals rate +3% +3% +Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis +between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reassessed annually. +(g) Oil and gas properties +The Group uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities. Under this method, costs of development +wells, the related supporting equipment and proved mineral interests in properties are capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially +capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. The impairment of exploratory well +costs occurs upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. The exploratory well costs are usually not carried as an asset +for more than one year following completion of drilling, unless (i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as +a producing well if the required capital expenditure is made; (ii) drilling of the additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned for the +near future; or (iii) other activities are being undertaken to sufficiently progress the assessing of the reserves and the economic and operating +viability of the project. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, other dry hole costs and annual lease rentals to +explore for or use oil and natural gas, are expensed as incurred. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of- +production method based on volumes produced and reserves. +Management estimates future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties with reference to engineering estimates after taking into +consideration the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with the industry practices and the future cash flows are adjusted +to reflect such risks specific to the liability, as appropriate. These estimated future dismantlement costs are discounted at pre-tax risk-free rate +and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs of the oil and gas properties. +(h) Construction in progress +Construction in progress represents buildings, oil and gas properties, various plant and equipment under construction and pending installation, +and is stated at cost less impairment losses (Note 2(n)). Cost comprises direct costs of construction as well as interest charges, and foreign +exchange differences on related borrowed funds to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest charges, during the periods of +construction. +Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when the asset is substantially ready for its intended use. +No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress. +(i) 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(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)). +Financial Statements (International) +168 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +(j) Financial assets +Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby +adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative +interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised. +Non-controlling interests at the date of statement of financial position, 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 +statement of financial position 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. +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. +(Gain)/loss on foreign currency exchange rate changes and derivative financial instruments +(3,723) +2,003 +Loss/(gain) on disposal of property, plant, equipment and other non-current assets, net +Impairment losses on assets +3,062 +(398) +13,165 +26,087 +Impairment losses on trade and other receivables +2,311 +2,066 +233,101 +157,701 +Net changes from: +Accounts receivable and other current assets +Inventories +Accounts payable and other current liabilities +Income tax paid +Net cash generated from operating activities +15,198 +(8,177) +15,018 +(5,732) +Operating activities +Profit before taxation +Adjustments for: +Depreciation, depletion and amortisation +Dry hole costs written off +Share of profits from associates and joint ventures +Investment income +Interest income +Interest expense +109,169 +48,615 +115,680 +107,461 +7,702 +5,928 +(23,253) +(6,712) +(298) +(37,744) +(4,803) +(17,610) +(58,372) +22,407 +• +Amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, Interest rate benchmark reform - phase 2 +None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior periods have +been prepared or presented.

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 2021 +165 +Financial Statements (International) +166 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +(a) Basis of consolidation +The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, and interest in associates and joint ventures. +(i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests +Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Group.

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 RMB1.00 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").

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. +If the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not +be recovered in one or more future periods, the Group immediately reclassifies the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or +loss. +When the hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting (i.e. 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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 171 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +Fair value hedges +A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment, +or a portion of such an asset, liability or firm commitment. +The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument is recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the +hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the recognised hedged item not measured at fair value and is recognised in profit or loss. +Any adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item is amortised to profit or loss if the hedged item is a financial instrument (or a +component thereof) measured at amortised cost. The amortisation is based on a recalculated effective interest rate at the date that amortisation +begins. +(n) Impairment of assets +The carrying amounts of assets, including property, plant and equipment, construction in progress, right-of-use assets and other assets, are +reviewed at each date of the statement of financial position 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 date +of the statement of financial position. +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). +(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. +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. +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: +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. +Li Yunpeng (xii) +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(j) Financial assets (Continued) +(iii)Derecognition +The Group derecognises a financial asset when: a) the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset expires; b) the Group +transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; c) the financial asset has been +transferred and the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but the +Group has not retained control. +On derecognition of equity instruments at FVOCI, the amount accumulated in the fair value reserve is transferred to retained earnings. It is +not recycled through profit or loss. While on derecognition of other financial assets, this difference is recognised in profit or loss. +(iv) Financial guarantees issued +Financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer (i.e. the guarantor) to make specified payments to reimburse the beneficiary of +the guarantee (the "holder") for a loss the holder incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the +terms of a debt instrument. +Financial guarantees issued are initially recognised at fair value, which is determined by reference to fees charged in an arm's length +transaction for similar services, when such information is obtainable, or to interest rate differentials, by comparing the actual rates charged +by lenders when the guarantee is made available with the estimated rates that lenders would have charged, had the guarantees not been +available, where reliable estimates of such information can be made. Where consideration is received or receivable for the issuance of the +guarantee, the consideration is recognised in accordance with the Group's policies applicable to that category of asset. Where no such +consideration is received or receivable, an immediate expense is recognised in profit or loss. +Subsequent to initial recognition, the amount initially recognised as deferred income is amortised in profit or loss over the term of the +guarantee as income from financial guarantees issued. +The Group monitors the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract and recognises a provision when ECLs on the financial +guarantees are determined to be higher than the carrying amount in respect of the guarantees (i.e. the amount initially recognised, less +accumulated amortisation). +(k) Financial liabilities +The Group, at initial recognition, classifies financial liabilities as either financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost or financial +liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. +The Group's financial liabilities are mainly financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including trade accounts payable and bills payable, +other payables, and loans, etc. These financial liabilities are initially measured at the amount of their fair value after deducting transaction costs +and use the effective interest rate method for subsequent measurement. +Where the present obligations of financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the Group derecognises these financial liabilities or +discharged parts of obligations. The differences between the carrying amounts and the consideration received are recognised in profit or loss. +(I) Determination of fair value for financial instruments +If there is an active market for financial instruments, the quoted price in the active market is used to measure fair values of the financial +instruments. If no active market exists for financial instruments, valuation techniques are used to measure fair values. In valuation, the Group +adopts valuation techniques that are applicable in the current situation and have sufficient available data and other information to support it, +and selects input values that are consistent with the asset or liability characteristics considered by market participants in the transaction of +relevant assets or liabilities, and gives priority to relevant observable input values. Use of unobservable input values where relevant observable +input values cannot be obtained or are not practicable. +170 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting +Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At each date of the statement of financial position, 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. +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. +Management assesses at each date of the statement of financial position 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 generally are financial liabilities and 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 invoice amounts. +173 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(x) Leases +A lease is a contract that a lessor transfers the right to use an identified asset for a period of time to a lessee in exchange for consideration. +(i) As lessee +The Group recognises a right-of-use asset at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group, and recognises a lease +liability measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The lease payments include fixed payments, the exercise price of +a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease +term reflects the Group exercising that option, etc. Variable payments that are based on a percentage of sales are not included in the lease +payments, and should be recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Lease liabilities to be paid within one year (including one year) from the +date of the statement of financial position 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 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. +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. +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. +(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. +(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 40. +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. +(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 statement of financial position 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 date of statement of financial position and is reduced to the extent that it is no +longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. +Financial Statements (International) +174 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +Research and development expenditures that cannot be capitalised are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Research and +development expense amounted to RMB11,481 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 (2020: RMB10,087 million). +(w) Research and development expense +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. +(p) Interest-bearing borrowings +Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest- +bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the consolidated +income statement over the period of borrowings using the effective interest method. +(q) Provisions and contingent liability +A provision is recognised for liability of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a +past event, when it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. +When it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is +disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only +be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability +of outflow of economic benefits is remote. +Provisions for future dismantlement costs are initially recognised based on the present value of the future costs expected to be incurred in +respect of the Group's expected dismantlement and abandonment costs at the end of related oil and gas exploration and development activities. +Any subsequent change in the present value of the estimated costs, other than the change due to passage of time which is regarded as interest +cost, is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and oil and gas properties. +Financial Statements (International) +172 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(r) Revenue recognition +2,109.76 +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. +Sales of goods +Sales are recognised when control of the goods have transferred. Obtaining control of relevant goods means that a customer can direct the use +of the goods and obtain almost all the economic benefits from it. 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. +(s) Government grants +Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the +Group will comply with all attached conditions. +Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs +that they are intended to compensate. +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. +(t) Borrowing costs +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. +(u) Repairs and maintenance expenditure +Repairs and maintenance expenditure is expensed as incurred. +(v) Environmental expenditures +Environmental expenditures that relate to current ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed as incurred. +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. +1,411.20 +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +1,948.64 +Tang Min (v) +Bi Mingjian (iv) +Shi Dan (iv) +Johnny Karling Ng +Cai Hongbin +Independent non-executive directors +Zhang Yuzhuo (iii) +Liu Hongbin +Li Yonglin (ii) +Ling Yiqun +Yu Baocai +Zhao Dong (i) +Ma Yongsheng +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 2021 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +Financial Statements (International) +177 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +(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 2021.

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 in the long term 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% (2020: +10.47%). Further future downward revisions to the Group's oil or nature gas 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 nature gas producing activities by approximately RMB3,628 million (2020: RMB4,548 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 RMB2,400 million (2020: RMB2,836 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 RMB180 million (2020: RMB287 million). Impairment losses recognised in the chemical segment and refining segment relate +to certain refinery and chemical production facilities and are not individually significant. The impairment losses were mainly due to the suspension of operations of +certain production facilities, and evidence that indicate the economic performance of certain production facilities continuously was lower than the expectation, thus +the carrying amounts of these facilities were written down to their recoverable amounts, which were determined based on the present values of forecasted future cash +flows of the cash generating units using pre-tax discount rates ranging from 10.50% to 13.9% (2020: 9.87% to 11.60%). +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +9 INTEREST EXPENSE +Interest expense incurred +Less: Interest expense capitalised* +Interest expense on lease liabilities +Accretion expenses (Note 35) +Interest expense +* Interest rates per annum at which borrowing costs were capitalised for construction in progress +10 INVESTMENT INCOME +Investment income from disposal of business and long-term equity investments (i) +Dividend income from holding of other equity instrument investments +Others +2021 +2020 +RMB million +5,679 +RMB million +6,517 +(996) +(2,011) +4,683 +4,506 +(1,781) +9,200 +(761) +(165) +1,711.52 +300 +1,218.00 +1,495.20 +Government grants (i) +Ineffective portion of change in fair value of cash flow hedges +Net realised and unrealised loss on derivative financial instruments not qualified as hedging +Impairment losses on long-lived assets (ii) +(Loss)/gain on disposal of property, plant, equipment and other non-current assets, net +Fines, penalties and compensations +Others +Notes: +2021 +RMB million +2020 +RMB million +6,706 +8,776 +694 +3,052 +(14,873) +(1,252) +(10,035) +(14,629) +(3,062) +398 +(220) +(43) +(301) +9,349 +Donations +1,343 +(7,873) +23,318 +6,344 +Reconciliation between actual income tax expense and the expected income tax expense at applicable statutory tax rates is as follows: +2021 +2020 +Profit before taxation +RMB million +109,169 +RMB million +48,615 +Expected PRC income tax expense at a statutory tax rate of 25% +27,292 +12,154 +Tax effect of non-deductible expenses +5,948 +3,281 +Tax effect of non-taxable income +(8,096) +(8,330) +(2,766) +(1,011) +(730) +Effect of income taxes at foreign operations +1,135 +(222) +6,258 +14,334 +(117) +Tax effect of preferential tax rate (i) +17,522 +1.84% to 4.35% +(462) +2.60% to 4.66% +2021 +RMB million +RMB million +82 +37,525 +34 +156 +15,018 +182 +63 +2020 +37,744 +Deferred taxation (Note 29) +- Adjustment of prior years +298 +- Provision for the year +Current tax +2020 +RMB million +15,198 +Note: +2021 +RMB million +Income tax expense in the consolidated income statement represents: +11 INCOME TAX EXPENSE +(i) The Company and Sinomart KTS Development Limited, Sinopec Natural Gas Limited Company and Sinopec Marketing Company Limited ("Marketing Company"), the +subsidiaries of the Company entered into the Agreement on Cash Payment to Purchase Equity in Sinopec Yu Ji Pipeline Company Limited, the Agreement on Additional +Issuance of Equity and Cash Payment to Purchase Assets, the Agreement on Cash Payment to Purchase Assets and the Agreement on Additional Issuance of Equity to +Purchase Assets with China Oil & Gas Pipeline Network Corporation ("PipeChina"), on 21 July 2020 and on 23 July 2020 respectively, pursuant to which the Company +and its subsidiaries proposed to dispose target business, including equity interests in the relevant companies, oil and gas pipeline and ancillary facilities, to PipeChina. +The above transactions were considered and approved by the 15th Session of 7th Directorate Meeting on 23 July 2020 and the second Extraordinary General Meeting +on 28 September 2020.

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 2021, 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 a loss allowance for expected credit losses 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 ECLs which uses a +lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade accounts receivable and financial assets at FVOCI. +To measure the ECLs, trade accounts receivable and financial assets at FVOCI have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and +the days past due. +The ECLs were calculated based on historical actual credit loss experience. The rates were considered the differences between economic +conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Group's view of economic conditions +over the expected lives of the receivables. The Group performed the calculation of ECL rates by the operating segment. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +Credit risk +Current and within 1 year past due +343 +(14) +Marketing Company +2021 +SIPL* +Shanghai Petrochemical +2020 +2021 +2020 +2020 +Fujian Petrochemical +2021 +2020 +RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million +2021 +RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million +Sinopec-SK +2021 +2021 +2020 +RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million +Sinopec Kantons +2021 +2020 +Shanghai SECCO +2020 +Net cash generated from/ +(used in) operating +activities +28,923 +54.139 +690 +Year ended 31 December +281 +Summarised statement of cash flows +1,028 +controlling interests +7,064 +2,766 +98 +316 +541 +69 +649 +14 +64 +15 +121 +268 +707 +2,390 +691 +659 +64 +150 +164 +175 +767 +3,950 +1,680 +(292) +(31,081) +(12,402) +(1,172) +1,683 +(3,393) +1,682 +(142) +882 (1,066) +(1,250) +(7,828) +(2,879) +(653) +2.176 +Net increase/(decrease) in +cash and cash equivalents +262 +1,727 +(467) +(695) +(1,802) +(526) +from financing activities +Net cash (used in)/generated +(2,340) +(1,789) +(244) +133 +586 +3,447 +3.119 +5,476 +(363) +Net cash generated from/ +(used in) investing +activities +(11) +2,420 +15 +(2,659) +(2,359) +(3,888) +420 +20 +(649) 1,276 +3,846 +1,534 +(4,335) +(40,010) +1 to 2 years past due +34,263 +623 +4,280 +500 +215,640 +Other payables +131,468 +131,468 +131,468 +665,852 +786,862 +407,378 +62,025 +73,641 +243,818 +Total +31 December 2020 +Carrying +amount +contractual +undiscounted +Within +More than 1 +RMB million +cash flow +RMB million +Short-term debts +215,640 +23,769 +215,640 +3,223 +78,300 +85,718 +2,169 +49,390 +27,518 +6,641 +Loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries +16,563 +18,457 +3,174 +604 +Lease liabilities +185,406 +296,485 +15,833 +12,031 +10,712 +35,411 +3,967 +233,210 +Derivative financial liabilities +3,223 +3,223 +Trade accounts payable and bills payable +25,280 +Long-term debts +72,037 +4,826 +4,826 +4,826 +Trade accounts payable and bills payable +161,908 +161,908 +161,908 +Other payables +94,083 +560,698 +94,083 +94,083 +713,138 +308,905 +28,138 +114,036 +262,059 +Management believes that the Group's current cash on hand, expected cash flows from operations and available standby credit facilities from +financial institutions will be sufficient to meet the Group's short-term and long-term capital requirements. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Annual Report 2021 +209 +Financial Statements (International) +Derivative financial liabilities +253,575 +1,428 +10,109 +43,513 +80,562 +1 year or +on demand +RMB million +25,280 +1,339 +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 +11,753 +60,414 +Long-term debts +7,056 +and fellow subsidiaries +17,042 +17,978 +5,512 +929 +Lease liabilities +187,033 +328,501 +15,957 +15,456 +Loans from Sinopec Group Company +35,871 +35,871 +35,252 +Impairment provision on +individual basis +Gross +carrying +amount +31 December 2020 +RMB million +Carrying +amount +RMB million +Impairment +provision on +individual +basis +Weighted. +average +loss rate +Impairment +provision +Loss +allowance +RMB million +% +RMB million +RMB million +Current and within 1 year past due +1 to 2 years past due +2 to 3 years past due +4,033 +534 +3,499 +579 +26 +0.2% +57 +83 +137 +35.8% +44 +181 +2 to 3 years past due +3,411 +Over 3 years past due +3,324 +50.6% +44 +3,190 +Over 3 years past due +Total +597 +38,894 +208 +8,312 +190 +100.0% +389 +3,146 +Dividends paid to non- +Total +4,062 +debts. +208 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +43 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Liquidity risk (Continued) +The following table sets out the remaining contractual maturities at the date of the statement of financial position 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 date of the statement of financial position) and the earliest date the Group would be required to repay: +31 December 2021 +Total +Carrying +amount +contractual +undiscounted +RMB million +cash flow +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 +Short-term debts +As at 31 December 2021, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide borrowings up to RMB441,559 +million (2020: RMB443,966 million) on an unsecured basis, at a weighted average interest rate of 2.81% per annum (2020: 2.85%).

As at 31 December 2021, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is +derivative financial assets of RMB18,359 million (2020: RMB12,353 million) and derivative financial liabilities of RMB3,214 million (2020: +RMB4,808 million). +As at 31 December 2021, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of USD10 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 RMB2,996 million (2020: increase/decrease RMB3,592 million), and decrease/increase the Group's other +reserves by approximately RMB1,160 million (2020: increase/decrease RMB10,379 million).

of rental fee in effect at the time of +the estimate. +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. +Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable +certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, +and government regulation before contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, +regardless of whether the estimate is a deterministic estimate or probabilistic estimate. 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. +The Group's and its equity method investments' estimated net proved underground oil and gas reserves and changes thereto for the years ended 31 +December 2021 and 2020 are shown in the following table. +Table IV: Reserve quantities information +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +The results of operations for producing activities for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 2020 are shown above.

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. +Financial Statements (International) +212 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +76,116 +44 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) +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, including environmental protection and energy structure transition variables, 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 future selling prices of crude oil, natural gas, refined and chemical products, the production costs, the +product mix, production volumes, production profiles, the oil and gas reserves 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 ECLs using readiness matrix, 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 ECLs. +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 2021 is Sinopec Group Company, a state-owned +enterprise established in the PRC. This entity does not produce financial statements available for public use. +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +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. +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 2021 and 2020. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +211 +Financial Statements (International) +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +43 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Fair values (Continued) +(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value +The disclosures of the fair value estimates, and their methods and assumptions of the Group's financial instruments, are made to comply +with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements and related +notes. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Group using market information and valuation methodologies considered +appropriate. However, considerable judgement is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the +estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realise in a current market exchange. The use of +different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. +The fair values of the Group's financial instruments carried at other than fair value (other than long-term indebtedness and investments in unquoted +equity securities) approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term indebtedness +are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market interest rates offered to the Group for debt with substantially the same +characteristic and maturities range from 0.30% to 4.65% (2020: 0.77% to 4.65%).

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.

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 external +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. +Report of the Board of Directors +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +Beijing, China, 25 March 2022 +By Order of the Board +Ma Yongsheng +Chairman +Cyber-security risks: The Company has +a well-established network safety system. +We establish an emergency response +mechanism in relation to network security +operation and information system, build an +information platform of network security +risk management and control, and devote +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. +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. +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 changes in international +geopolitics, spread of COVID-19, uncertainty +of economic recovery, 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. +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 rules in 2021, developed +negative investment lists, and conducted +rigorous feasibility study and risk evaluation +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 the operation and +natural disasters: The process of petroleum +chemical production is exposed to the high +risks of inflammation, explosion, toxicity, +harm 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. +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 continues +spread of COVID-19 pandemic, 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. +72 Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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. +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 the exploration +and development licenses of crude oil and +natural gas; 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 +the right of managing and using of imported +crude oil; 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. +Dear Shareholders: +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. +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. +26 RISK FACTORS +19,554,400 +Report of the Board of Directors +Report of the Board of Directors +71 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +The Company always attaches great +importance to the fulfilment of social +responsibilities, and carries out the green +and low carbon development strategy to +pursue a sustainable development.

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.

The value in use amounts +of these CGUS are sensitive to the changes to future selling prices and +production costs for crude oil and natural gas, future production profiles, +and discount rates. Therefore a higher degree of subjective auditor +judgment was required to evaluate the Company's impairment assessment +of fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing activities. +The Company groups fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing +activities into cash-generating units ("CGUS") for impairment assessment. +The Company compares the carrying amount of individual CGU with its +value in use, using a discounted cash flow forecast, which was prepared +based on the future production profiles included in the oil and gas +reserves reports, to determine the impairment loss to be recognised. +The Company reported fixed assets of Renminbi ("RMB") 598,932 +million as at 31 December 2021, a portion of which related to oil and +gas producing activities.
