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 +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. +(a) Investment in subsidiaries +The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination involving entities under common +control is the Company's share of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's equity at the combination date. The difference between the initial +investment cost and the carrying amounts of the consideration given is adjusted to share premium in capital reserve. If the balance of the +share premium is insufficient, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. +For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial +investment cost comprises the aggregate of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued +by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquiree. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not +involving enterprises under common control, if it is achieved in stages, the initial cost comprises the carrying value of previously-held equity +investment in the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date, and the additional investment cost at the acquisition date. +An investment in a subsidiary acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially recognised at actual purchase cost if the +Group acquires the investment by cash, or at the fair value of the equity securities issued if an investment is acquired by issuing equity +securities, or at the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement if an investment is contributed by investors. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Annual Report 2021 +97 +Financial Statements (PRC) +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: +98 +(3) Cash and cash equivalents +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +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) +(c) Method for preparation of consolidated financial statements (Continued) +Where control of a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal of the equity investment held in a subsidiary, or any other reasons, the Group +derecognises assets, liabilities, minority interests and other equity items related to the subsidiary. The remaining equity investment is +remeasured to fair value at the date in which control is lost. The sum of consideration received from disposal of equity investment and the +fair value of the remaining equity investment, net of the fair value of the Group's previous share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets +recorded from the acquisition date, is recognised in investment income in the period in which control is lost. Other comprehensive income +related to the previous equity investment in the subsidiary, is transferred to investment income when control is lost. Other comprehensive +income related to the equity investment of the original subsidiary shall be converted into the current investment income in the event of loss +of control. +Minority interest is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity. Net profit or loss attributable to +minority shareholders is presented separately in the consolidated income statement below the net profit line item. +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +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. +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) +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. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Right-of-use assets of the Group mainly comprise land. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which comprises the amount of the initial +measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs incurred by the +lessee, less any lease incentives received. The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the +lease term on a straight-line basis. When the recoverable amount of a right-of-use asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount +is reduced to the recoverable amount. +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. +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. +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)). +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 +71,208 +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. +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 +(6) Leases +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). +Financial Statements (PRC) +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Financial Statements (PRC) +(3,944) +96 +95 +Chairman +(Legal representative) +Yu Baocai +President +The accompanying notes form part of these financial statements. +Shou Donghua +Chief Financial Officer +Ma Yongsheng +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +Financial Statements (PRC) +Financial Statements (PRC) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +1 STATUS OF THE COMPANY +China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the "Company") was established on 25 February 2000 as a joint stock limited company. 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 25 March 2022. +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, 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 RMB98,249,084,000. 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"). +93 +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 RMB1.00 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. +These financial statements have been approved for issue by the board of directors on 25 March 2022. +116,440 +(35,110) +3,944 +(39,054) +(35,110) +4.

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. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +(b) Business combination involving entities not under common control +(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 +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.

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.

If it is unlikely to obtain sufficient taxable income to offset +against the benefit of deferred tax asset, the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets is written down. Any such write-down should be +subsequently reversed where it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available. +At the balance sheet date, the amounts of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the +carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates that are expected to be applied in the period when the asset is recovered or the +liability is settled in accordance with tax laws. +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.

Government grants received in relation to revenue are recorded as deferred income, and recognised as income in future periods as +compensation when the associated future expenses or losses arise; or directly recognised as income in the current period as compensation for +past expenses or losses. +Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and the Group is able to comply with +the conditions attaching to them. Government grants in the form of monetary assets are recorded based on the amount received or receivable, +whereas non-monetary assets are measured at fair value. +Government grants are the gratuitous monetary assets or non-monetary assets that the Group receives from the government, excluding capital +injection by the government as an investor. Special funds such as investment grants allocated by the government, if clearly defined in official +documents as part of "capital reserve" are dealt with as capital contributions, and not regarded as government grants. +Sales are recognised when control of the goods have transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer.

For financial instruments on the +third stage, interest income is calculated according to the carrying amount minus amortised cost after the provision of impairment +allowance and effective interest rate. +For financial instruments that have low credit risk at the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that there is no significant increase in +credit risk since the initial recognition, and measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. +(ii) Impairment (Continued) +(a) Financial assets (Continued) +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 101 +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 derecognises a financial asset when a) the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset expires; b) the Group +transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; c) the financial assets have +been transferred and the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but +the Group has not retained control. +The Group measures and recognises expected credit losses, considering reasonable and supportable information about the relevant past +events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. +(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: +The business model for managing such financial assets by the Group are held for collection of contractual cash flows. The contractual +cash flow characteristics are to give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the +principal amount outstanding. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The +financial assets include cash at bank and on hand and receivables. +Measured at amortised cost: +The debt instruments held by the Group refer to the instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities from the perspective of the +issuer, and are measured in the following ways: +Debt instruments +Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant +transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The transaction costs for other financial assets are included in the initially recognised +amount. However, accounts receivable 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 +The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost and receivables +financing measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. +On derecognition of other equity instrument investments, the difference between the carrying amounts and the sum of the consideration +received and any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income, is recognised in retained earnings. While +on derecognition of other financial assets, this difference is recognised in profit or loss. +(b) Financial liabilities +The Group, at initial recognition, classifies financial liabilities as either financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost or +financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. +103 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +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 cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; +Cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with all, or a +component of, a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable-rate debt) or a highly probable +forecast transaction, and could affect profit or loss. As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, +the hedging relationship shall be accounted for as follows: +Cash flow hedges +- +(3) The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually +hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. However, that +designation shall not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument. +(2) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. +(1) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which share a risk and that gives rise to opposite +changes in fair value that tend to offset each other. +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +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. +The Group's financial liabilities are mainly financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including bills payable, accounts payable, other +payables, loans and debentures payable, etc. These financial liabilities are initially measured at the amount of their fair value after deducting +transaction costs and use the effective interest rate method for subsequent measurement. +Where the present obligations of financial liabilities are completely or partially discharged, the Group derecognises these financial liabilities +or discharged parts of obligations. The differences between the carrying amounts and the consideration received are recognised in profit or +loss. +Financial guarantee liabilities +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 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. +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. +Financial Statements (PRC) +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +(c) Determination of fair value +102 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +(11) Financial Instruments +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +If the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that +loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, the Group immediately reclassify the amount that is not expected to be +recovered into profit or loss. +When the hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting +(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. +Fair value hedges +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. +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. +(12) Impairment of other non-financial long-term assets +Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date for indications that the following assets, including fixed +assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, goodwill, intangible assets, long-term deferred expenses and investments in subsidiaries, +associates and joint ventures may be impaired. +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. +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. +104 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +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. +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of expected future cash flows generated by the +asset (or asset unit, set of asset units). +Fair value less costs to sell of an asset is based on its selling price in an arm's length transaction less any direct costs attributable to the +disposal. Present value of expected future cash flows is the estimation of future cash flows to be generated from the use of and upon disposal of +the asset, discounted at an appropriate pre-tax discount rate over the asset's remaining useful life. +If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. The amount +by which the carrying amount is reduced is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. A provision for impairment loss of the asset +is recognised accordingly. Impairment losses related to an asset unit or a set of asset units first reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill +allocated to the asset unit or set of asset units, and then reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the asset unit or set of asset units on +a pro rata basis. However, the carrying amount of an impaired asset will not be reduced below the highest of its individual fair value less costs +to sell (if determinable), the present value of expected future cash flows (if determinable) and zero. +Once an impairment loss is recognised, it is not reversed in a subsequent period. +(13) Long-term deferred expenses +(14) Employee benefits +Employee benefits are all forms of considerations and compensation given in exchange for services rendered by employees, including short-term +compensation, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long term employee benefits. +(a) Short-term compensation +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. +(b) Post-employment benefits +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. +Basic pension insurance +Employees of the Group participate in the social insurance system established and managed by local labor and social security department. +The Group makes basic pension insurance to the local social insurance agencies every month, at the applicable benchmarks and rates +stipulated by the government for the benefits of its employees. After the employees retire, the local labor and social security department has +obligations to pay them the basic pension. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group +shall recognise the accrued amount according to the above social security provisions as a liability and charge to the cost of an asset or to +profit or loss in the same period. +(c) Termination benefits +(12) Impairment of other non-financial long-term assets (Continued) +Cash flow hedges (Continued) +- +(3) (Continued) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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)). On disposal of an asset group or a set of +asset groups, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is written off and included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal. +The initial cost of goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets +of the acquiree under the business combination involving entities not under common control. +(10) Goodwill +Useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed at least each year end. +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. +Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes produced and reserves. +(9) Intangible assets +The Group estimates future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration +the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with the industry practices. These estimated future dismantlement costs are +discounted at credit-adjusted risk-free rate and are capitalised as oil and gas properties, which are subsequently amortised as part of the costs +of the oil and gas properties. +The acquisition cost of mineral interest is capitalised as oil and gas properties. Costs of development wells and related support equipment are +capitalised. The cost of exploratory wells is initially capitalised as construction in progress pending determination of whether the well has found +proved reserves. Exploratory well costs are charged to expenses upon the determination that the well has not found proved reserves. However, +in the absence of a determination of the discovery of proved reserves, exploratory well costs are not carried as an asset for more than one +year following completion of drilling. If, after one year has passed, a determination of the discovery of proved reserves cannot be made, the +exploratory well costs are impaired and charged to expense. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are charged +to profit or loss in the year as incurred. +Oil and gas properties include the mineral interests in properties, wells and related support equipment arising from oil and gas exploration and +production activities. +3% +of residual value +3% +Estimated rate +Estimated +useful life +12-50 years +4-30 years +(8) Oil and gas properties +(d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +(11) Financial Instruments (Continued) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +(7) Fixed assets and construction in progress (Continued) +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 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) +The additions to oil and gas properties of the Group and the Company for the year 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. +110 +7,639 +(58) +(42) +(193) +2,464 +5,468 +1,933 +1,590 +1,931 +Other non-current assets +Inventories +(12) +(12) +83 +1,531 +10 +Other receivables +2 +11 +Fixed assets +12 +3,705 +(42) +(7) +206 +3,548 +4,897 +(40) +(1,300) +(18) +3,148 +3,107 +123467 +17 +Goodwill +Intangible assets +14 +Construction in progress +13 +83 +Long-term equity investments +46 +9 +14 +Provision for +the year +RMB million +Balance at +Other +Balance at +1 January +2021 +RMB million +Note +At 31 December 2021, impairment losses of the Group are analysed as follows: +21 DETAILS OF IMPAIRMENT LOSSES +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Written back +for the year +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (PRC) +123 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +Other non-current assets mainly represent long-term receivables, prepayments for construction projects and purchases of equipment. +20 OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS +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. +At 31 December 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company did not recognise deferred tax of deductible loss carried forward of RMB18,342 million +(2020: RMB17,718 million), of which RMB5,564 million (2020: RMB4,349 million) was incurred for the year ended 31 December 2021, because +it was not probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. These deductible losses carried forward of RMB4,135 million, RMB2,308 million, +RMB1,986 million, RMB4,349 million and RMB5,564 million will expire in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and after, respectively. +25,054 +8,124 +Financial Statements (PRC) +(54) +Written off +increase +(decrease) +77 +89,407 +Prepayments +4,033 +(106) +(30) +(127) +436 +for the year +3,860 +Included: Accounts receivable +Allowance for doubtful accounts +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +RMB million +2021 +31 December +7 +9,420 +2,047 +(163) +37 +3,298 +6.5249 +505 +934 +6.3757 +146 +1,141 +0.8416 +1,320 +2,407 +3 +3 +16,111 +24,959 +16,111 +24,959 +RMB +million +4,642 +Exchange +rates +31 +7.2197 +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +124 +As at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group's contract liabilities primarily represent advances from customers.

As at 31 +December 2021, Amur Gas has not yet incurred the relevant payment obligations and therefore the Group has no guarantee amount (31 December 2020: Nil). +The Group provided a guarantee in respect engineering services agreement of Amur Gas amount to RMB3,012 million. As at 31 December 2021, the relevant +payables for constructions of Amur Gas (The portion corresponding to the shareholding ratio of the Group) and guaranteed by the Group was RMB173 million (31 +December 2020: Nil). +Management 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. At 31 December 2021 and 2020, the Group +estimates that there is no material liability has been accrued for ECLS related to the Group's obligation under these guarantee arrangements. +Environmental contingencies +Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial +position or operating results of the Group. The PRC government, however, has moved, and may move further towards more rigorous enforcement +of applicable laws, and towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect the Group's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature and +extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to refineries, oil fields, service stations, terminals and land development areas, +whether operating, closed or sold, (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts, (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies, (iv) changes +in environmental remediation requirements, and (v) the identification of new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable +due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be +required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed or future environmental legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at +present, and could be material. +The Group recognised normal routine pollutant discharge fees of approximately RMB10,968 million in the consolidated financial statements for the +year ended 31 December 2021 (2020: RMB11,368 million). +Legal contingencies +The Group is defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

The Group has used the successful efforts method to account for oil and gas business activities. The successful efforts method +reflects the volatility that is inherent in exploring for mineral resources in that costs of unsuccessful exploratory efforts are charged to expense. +These costs primarily include dry hole costs, seismic costs and other exploratory costs. +Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the +subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have +to be met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as "proved". Proved and proved developed reserves estimates are updated +at least annually and take into account recent production and technical information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels +change from year to year, the estimate of proved and proved developed reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate +for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in related depreciation rates. Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on +the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil and gas properties reported in the financial statements. If proved reserves +estimates are revised downwards, the Group's earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the +carrying amount of oil and properties. +Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking into consideration +the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in the similar geographic area, including estimation +of economic life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are +capitalised as oil and gas properties with equivalent amounts recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs. +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in determining depreciation expense, impairment +expense and future dismantlement costs. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortised on a unit-of-production method based +on volumes produced and reserves. +(b) Impairment for assets +If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered “impaired", and +an impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with "CASS 8 - Impairment of Assets". The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are +reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for +impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a +decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. The +recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of expected future cash flows. It is difficult to precisely +estimate the fair value because quoted market prices for the Group's assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining +the value of expected future cash flows, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present +value, which requires significant judgement relating to sales volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rate. The Group uses +all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based +on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rate. +(c) Depreciation +Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account the estimated residual +value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets at least annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense +to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Group's historical experience with similar assets and taking into +account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous +estimates. +(d) Measurement of expected credit losses +5,259 +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). +(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.

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. +Liquidity risk +Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group encounters short fall of capital when meeting its obligation of financial liabilities. The Group's approach to +managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal +and stressed capital conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. The Group prepares monthly +cash flow budget to ensure that they will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group arranges and +negotiates financing with financial institutions and maintains a certain level of standby credit facilities to reduce the liquidity risk. +At 31 December 2021, the Group has standby credit facilities with several PRC financial institutions which provide the Group to borrow 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%). +At 31 December 2021, the Group's outstanding borrowings under these facilities were RMB11,700 million (2020: RMB4,041 million) and were +included in loans. +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. +9,628 +Liabilities +12,528 +From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated +financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

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. +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 31 December 2020. +The Group has not developed an internal valuation model necessary to estimate the fair value of loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries as it is not considered practicable to estimate their fair value because the cost of obtaining discount and borrowing rates +for comparable borrowings would be excessive based on the Reorganisation of the Group, its existing capital structure and the terms of the +borrowings. +NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +At 31 December +2020 +RMB million +76,674 +74,282 +At 31 December +2021 +RMB million +Carrying amount +Fair value +The fair values of the Group's financial instruments carried at other than fair value (other than long-term indebtedness and investments in +unquoted equity securities) approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

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 +(c) Cash and cash equivalents +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. +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. +Financial Statements (International) +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: +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. +Equipment, machinery and others +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. +Buildings +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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. +When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate or joint control over a joint venture, it is accounted for as a disposal of +the entire interest in that investee, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former investee +at the date when significant influence or joint control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial +recognition of a financial asset (see Note 2(j)) or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate. +The 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. +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. +Estimated usage +period +12 to 50 years +4 to 30 years +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. +Financial Statements (International) +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +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. +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. +(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 financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the combining entities or businesses in which the common +control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the +control of the controlling party. The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the +controlling parties' perspective. No amount is recognised as consideration for goodwill or excess of acquirers' interest in the net fair value of +acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the +continuation of the controlling party's interest. +The consolidated income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or +since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where there is a shorter period, regardless +of the date of the common control combination. The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the +entities or businesses had been combined at the beginning of the earliest period presented or when they first came under common control, +whichever is shorter. +A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by those entities. All intra-Group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions +between combining entities or businesses are eliminated on consolidation. Transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, +costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in combining operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., +incurred in relation to the common control combination that is to be accounted for by using merger accounting is recognised as an expense +in the period in which it is incurred. +(b) Translation of foreign currencies +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Estimated +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. +3% +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. +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. +The Group measures and recognises ECLs, considering reasonable and supportable information about the relevant past events, current +conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. +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) +(ii) Associates and joint ventures +Financial Statements (International) +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. +residuals rate +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. +(j) Financial assets +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) Classification and measurement +(i) Goodwill +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 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +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. +The particulars of the Group's principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 42. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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)). +322,931 +1,941 +117,000 +90,423 +55,850 +34,503 +121,071 +743,719

+set out below. +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. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting +period. +The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable IFRS as issued by the International +Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). IFRS includes International Accounting Standards ("IAS") and related interpretations ("IFRIC"). These +consolidated financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock +Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group are set out in Note 2. +As part of the Reorganisation, certain of Sinopec Group Company's core oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses together with the +related assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company. On 25 February 2000, in consideration for Sinopec Group Company transferring such +oil and gas and chemical operations and businesses and the related assets and liabilities to the Company, the Company issued 68.8 billion domestic +state-owned ordinary shares with a par value of 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. +The Company was established in the PRC on 25 February 2000 as a joint stock limited company as part of the reorganisation (the "Reorganisation") +of China Petrochemical Corporation ("Sinopec Group Company"), the ultimate holding company of the Group and a ministry-level enterprise under +the direct supervision of the State Council of the PRC. Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the oil and gas and chemical operations of the +Group were carried on by oil administration bureaux, petrochemical and refining production enterprises and sales and marketing companies of +Sinopec Group Company. +Organisation +China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the "Company") is an energy and chemical company incorporated in the People's Republic of China (the +"PRC") that, through its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Group"), engages in oil and gas and chemical operations. Oil and +gas operations consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; transporting crude oil and natural gas by pipelines; +refining crude oil into finished petroleum products; and marketing crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products. Chemical operations +include the manufacture and marketing of a wide range of chemicals for industrial uses. +Principal activities +1 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, ORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +Basis of preparation +(b) New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group +Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2021 reporting periods and +have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future +reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. +The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and +assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and +liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The +estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under +the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not +readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. +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 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. +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. When assessing +whether the Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Group and other parties) are considered. +(i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests +The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, and interest in associates and joint ventures. +(a) Basis of consolidation +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +166 +Financial Statements (International) +165 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +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. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

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"). +(39,054) +3,944 +(7,520) +(8,192) +(6,796) +(1.396) +(1,396) +(42,630) +(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. +(41,234) +(39,054) +3,944 +(6,124) +(6,124) +(6,124) +(6,124) +(7,009) +(13,805) +(48,243) +121,071 +(56,435) +(b) The usage of the discretionary surplus reserve is similar to that of statutory surplus reserve. +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. +(a) According to the PRC Company Law and the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its net profit determined in accordance +with the accounting policies complying with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("CASS"), adopted by the Group to statutory surplus reserve. In the event +that the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital, no transfer is required. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of a dividend to +shareholders. Statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good previous years' losses, if any, and may be converted into share capital by issuing of new shares to +shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the balance after such issue is +not less than 25% of the registered capital. +915,074 +140,892 +354,480 +2,495 +774,182 +723 +96,224 +55,850 +399 +159 +240 +(802) +117,000 +319 +27,062 +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. +170 +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. +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'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. +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 Statements (International) +(iv) Financial guarantees issued +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. +The Group derecognises a financial asset when: a) the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset expires; b) the Group +transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; c) the financial asset has been +transferred and the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but the +Group has not retained control. +(iii)Derecognition +(j) Financial assets (Continued) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +117 +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +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.

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. +(z) Income tax +Termination benefits, such as employee reduction expenses, are recognised when, and only when, the Group demonstrably commits itself to +terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic +possibility of withdrawal. +The contributions payable under the Group's retirement plans are recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement as incurred +and according to the contribution determined by the plans. Further information is set out in Note 40. +(y) Employee benefits +When the Group leases self-owned plants and buildings, equipment and machinery, lease income from an operating lease is recognised on a +straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The Group recognises variable lease income which is based on a certain percentage of sales +as rental income when occurred. +A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. An operating lease is a +lease other than a finance lease. +(ii) As lessor +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. +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. +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. +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. +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. +(i) As lessee +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. +(x) Leases +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +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. +Financial Statements (International) +3 REVENUE FROM PRIMARY BUSINESS +Gasoline +557,605 +726,057 +RMB million +RMB million +2020 +2021 +Contributions to retirement schemes (Note 40) +Salaries, wages and other benefits +PERSONNEL EXPENSES +6 +- Others +- Audit services +Auditor's remuneration: +Variable lease payments, low-value and short-term lease payment +The following items are included in selling, general and administrative expenses: +5 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES +Sale of materials and others +Rental income +OTHER OPERATING REVENUES +4 +(i) Others are primarily liquefied petroleum gas and other refinery and chemical byproducts and joint products. +Note: +Others (i) +Synthetic fiber monomers and polymers +Natural gas +Kerosene +Synthetic resin +Basic chemical feedstock. +Crude oil +Diesel +Revenue from primary business mainly represents revenue from the sales of refined petroleum products, chemical products, crude oil and natural +gas, which are recognised at a point in time. +173 +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.

The amortisation is based on a recalculated effective interest rate at the date that amortisation +begins. +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. +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. +Fair value hedges +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued) +2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Financial Statements (International) +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 171 +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. +If the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not +be recovered in one or more future periods, the Group immediately reclassifies the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or +loss. +For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding policy statements, that amount is reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve +to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit +or loss. +If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast +transaction for a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the +entity removes that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or +the liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and hence it does not affect other comprehensive income. +The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. +The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an ineffective hedge is recognised in profit or loss. +(ii) The cumulative change in fair value (present value) of the hedged item (i.e. the present value of the cumulative change in the hedged +expected future cash flows) from inception of the hedge. +(i) The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and +As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, the separate component of equity associated with the hedged +item (cash flow hedge reserve) is adjusted to the lower of the following (in absolute amounts): +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. +A hedging instrument is a designated derivative whose changes in cash flows are expected to offset changes in cash flows of the hedged item. +The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: +Hedged items are the items that expose the Group to risks of changes in future cash flows and that are designated as being hedged and that +must be reliably measurable. The Group's hedged items include a forecast transaction that is settled with an undetermined future market price +and exposes the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, etc. +Hedge accounting is a method which recognises the offsetting effects on profit or loss (or other comprehensive income) of changes in the fair +values of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the same accounting period, to represent the effect of risk management activities. +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. +(m)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting +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). +The amount of the reduction is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of +cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then, to reduce +the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its +individual fair value less costs to disposal, or value in use, if determinable. +Management assesses at each 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. +(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. +Environmental expenditures that relate to current ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed as incurred. +(v) Environmental expenditures +Repairs and maintenance expenditure is expensed as incurred. +(u) Repairs and maintenance expenditure +Borrowing costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are +capitalised as being attributable to the construction of an asset which necessarily takes a period of time to get ready for its intended use. +(t) Borrowing costs +Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are +credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. +Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs +that they are intended to compensate. +Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the +Group will comply with all attached conditions. +(s) Government grants +Sales are recognised when control of the goods have transferred. 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.

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%). +(i) Government grants for the years ended 31 December

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 RMB10,968 million in the consolidated financial statements for the year +ended 31 December 2021 (2020: RMB11,368 million). +Legal contingencies +The Group is defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the named party in other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. 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. +38 BUSINESS COMBINATION +Pursuant to resolution passed at the Director's meeting on 26 March 2021, the Company entered into agreements with Sinopec Assets Management +Corporation ("SAMC") and Beijing Orient Petrochemical Industry Co., Ltd.

(CONTINUED) +for the year ended 31 December 2021 +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. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +213 +Financial Statements (International) +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. +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 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. +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. +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%). 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 2021 and 2020: +Carrying amount +Fair value +31 December +2021 +RMB million +Non-current liabilities +88,593 +85.610 +2020 +RMB million +76,674 +74,282 +The Group has not developed an internal valuation model necessary to estimate the fair values of loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries as it is not considered practicable to estimate their fair values because the cost of obtaining discount and borrowing rates for +comparable borrowings would be excessive based on the Reorganisation of the Group, the Group's existing capital structure and the terms of the +borrowings. +Except for the above items, the financial assets and liabilities of the Group are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values +at 31 December 2021 and 2020. +44 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS +The Group's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the +preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on +various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements about matters that are not readily +apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, +circumstances and conditions change. +The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of such policies and the sensitivity of +reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the consolidated financial statements. The +significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2. Management believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant +judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. +Oil and gas properties and reserves +31 December +Long-term debts +Loans from Sinopec Group Company and fellow subsidiaries +Lease liabilities +116,919 +400,312 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +215 +Financial Statements (International) +216 +Differences between Consolidated Financial Statements +Prepared in Accordance with the Accounting Policies +Complying with CASS and IFRS (Unaudited) +(C) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH +THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES COMPLYING WITH CASS AND IFRS (UNAUDITED) +Other than the differences in the classifications of certain financial statements captions and the accounting for the items described below, there are no +material differences between the Group's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting policies complying with CASS +and IFRS.

Such information has not been subject to independent audit or review. +The major differences are: +(i) GOVERNMENT GRANTS +Under CASS, grants from the government are credited to capital reserve if required by relevant governmental regulations. Under IFRS, government +grants relating to the purchase of fixed assets are recognised as deferred income and are transferred to the income statement over the useful life of +these assets. +(ii) SAFETY PRODUCTION FUND +Under CASS, safety production fund should be recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding increase in reserve according to PRC regulations. +Such reserve is reduced for expenses incurred for safety production purposes or, when safety production related fixed assets are purchased, is +reduced by the purchased cost with a corresponding increase in the accumulated depreciation. Such fixed assets are not depreciated thereafter. +Under IFRS, payments are expensed as incurred, or capitalised as fixed assets and depreciated according to applicable depreciation methods. +Effects of major differences between the shareholders' equity under CASS and the total equity under IFRS are analysed as follows: +Note +31 December +2021 +RMB million +916,041 +31 December +2020 +RMB million +117,550 +404,391 +Shareholders' equity under CASS +Adjustments: +(240) +(1,857) +117,000 +117,000 +8,881 +3,912 +12 +(182) +102 +4,911 +469 +240 +9,464 +8,881 +116,919 +131,674 +39,950 +18,821 +(35,110) +(31,479) +(3,944) +(469) +204 +888,720 +Government grants +(i) +(D) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) +In accordance with "Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 932 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas", issued by the Financial Accounting +Standards Board of the United States, “Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X", issued by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in accordance with +"Industrial Information Disclosure Guidelines for Public Company - No.8 Oil and Gas Exploitation", issued by Shanghai Stock Exchange, this section +provides supplemental information on oil and gas exploration and producing activities of the Group and its equity method investments at 31 December +2021 and 2020, and for the years then ended in the following six separate tables.

This sensitivity analysis has been determined +assuming that the change in prices had occurred at the date of the statement of financial position 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 2020. +As at 31 December 2021, the Group had certain commodity contracts of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products designated as +qualified cash flow hedges and economic hedges. As at 31 December 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). +Based on the dynamic study and judging of the market, combined with the resource demand and production and operation plan, the Group +evaluate and monitor the market risk exposure caused by transaction positions, and continuously manage and hedge the risk of commodity price +fluctuation caused by market changes. +The Group engages in oil and gas operations and is exposed to commodity price risk related to price volatility of crude oil, refined oil products +and chemical products. The fluctuations in prices of crude oil, refined oil products and chemical products could have significant impact on the +Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments, including commodity futures and swaps contracts, to manage a portion of this risk. +(c) Commodity price risk +As 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 profit for the year by approximately RMB254 million (2020: decrease/increase +by approximately 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 date of the statement of financial position with exposure to cash flow interest rate risk. The analysis is +performed on the same basis for 2020. +The Group's interest rate risk exposure arises primarily from its short-term and long-term debts and loans from Sinopec Group Company and +fellow subsidiaries. Debts bearing interest at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value +interest rate risk respectively. The interest rates and terms of repayment of short-term and long-term debts, and loans from Sinopec Group +Company and fellow subsidiaries of the Group are disclosed in Note 30. +6,062 +Level 2 +Level 1 +Assets +43 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Continued) +Fair values +(i) Financial instruments carried at fair value +The following table presents the carrying value of financial instruments measured at fair value at the date of the statement of financial position +across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 7, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', with the fair value of each financial +instrument categorised in its entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to that fair value measurement.

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 +2021 and 2020 and should not be relied upon as an indication of the Group's and its equity method investments' future cash flows or value of its oil +and gas reserves. +The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, related to the above proved oil and gas reserves, is calculated in accordance with +the requirements of "ASC Topic 932 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas", "SEC Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X", and "Industrial Information Disclosure +Guidelines for Public Company - No.8 Oil and Gas Exploitation". Estimated future cash inflows from production are computed by applying the average, +first-day-of-the-month price adjusted for differential for oil and gas during the twelve-month period before the ending date of the period covered by +the report to year-end quantities of estimated net proved reserves. Future price changes are limited to those provided by contractual arrangements in +existence at the end of each reporting year. Future development and production costs are those estimated future expenditures necessary to develop and +produce year-end estimated proved reserves based on year-end cost indices, assuming continuation of year-end economic conditions. Estimated future +income taxes are calculated by applying appropriate year-end statutory tax rates to estimated future pre-tax net cash flows, less the tax basis of related +assets. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using 10% discount factors. This discounting requires a year-by-year estimate of when the future +expenditure will be incurred and when the reserves will be produced. +Table V: Standardised measure of discounted future net cash

In 2021, +the turnover from crude oil, natural +gas and other upstream products sold +externally amounted to RMB156.0 billion, +representing an increase of 49.3% over +2020. The change was mainly due to +increases in crude oil and natural gas +prices, and the increase of natural gas +sales volume. +In 2021, petroleum products (mainly +consisting of refined oil products and +other refined petroleum products) sold +by Refining Segment and Marketing +and Distribution Segment achieved +external sales revenues of RMB1,535.5 +billion (accounting for 56.0% of the +Company's revenue), representing an +increase of 30.6% over 2020, mainly due +to the increase in prices and volume of +refined oil products. The sales revenue +of gasoline, diesel and kerosene was +RMB1,243.9 billion, representing an +increase of 28.5% over 2020, and +accounting for 81.0% of the total sales +revenue of petroleum products. Turnover +of other refined petroleum products +was RMB291.6 billion, representing an +increase of 49.0% compared with that of +2020, accounting for 19.0% of the total +sales revenue of petroleum products. +The Company's external sales revenue +of chemical products was RMB424.8 +billion, representing an increase of 31.8% +over 2020, accounting for 15.5% of +the Company's total revenue. This was +mainly due to the increase in price and +sales volume of chemical products. +(2) Operating expenses +In 2021, the Company's operating +expenses was RMB2,646.3 billion, +increased by 26.6% compared with that +of 2020. The operating expenses mainly +consisted of the following: +Purchased crude oil, products and +operating supplies and expenses was +RMB2,076.7 billion, representing an +increase of 30.6% over the same period +of 2020, accounting for 78.5% of the +total operating expenses, of which: +Crude oil purchasing expenses was +RMB689.5 billion, representing an +increase of 43.9% over the same period +of 2020. Crude oil purchased externally +used for processing in 2021 was 212.55 +million tonnes (excluding the volume +processed for third parties), representing +an increase of 7.9% over the same period +of 2020. The average cost of crude oil +purchased externally was RMB3,244 per +tonne, representing an increase by 33.3% +over 2020. +The Company's other purchasing +expenses was RMB1,387.2 billion, +representing an increase of 24.9% over +the same period of 2020. This was +mainly attributable to the sharp increase +in international bulk raw material prices +and purchasing volume increase. +Selling, general and administrative +expenses was RMB55.0 billion, +representing an increase of 2.4% over +2020. +Depreciation, depletion and amortisation +was RMB115.7 billion, representing an +increase of 7.6% over the same period of +2020. That was mainly because that the +proved reserve decreased resulting from +the decrease of international crude oil +prices and appreciation of RMB exchange +rate in 2020, thus the depletion ratio of +oil and gas assets increased, which led to +the depreciation and depletion increased. +Exploration expenses was RMB12.4 +billion, representing an increase of +27.4% compared with 2020. That was +mainly due to increased investment in +exploration and development to improve +the quality of oil and gas assets. +Personnel expenses was RMB103.5 +billion, representing an increase of +18.2% over 2020. That was due to the +government's preferential policy on social +insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic +in 2020, which was cancelled in 2021, +as well as a year-on-year increase in +performance-related bonus as a reward +for the significant improvement in +operating profit. +Taxes other than income tax was +RMB259.0 billion, representing an +increase of 10.2% over the same period +of 2020. That was mainly due to the +increase of consumption tax resulting +from the increase of production volume +in gasoline and diesel. +Other operating expense, net was +RMB21.7 billion, representing an increase +of RMB275.7% over the same period of +2020. That was mainly due to impact of +the loss on disposal of property, plant, +equipment and other non-current assets. +(3) Operating profit was RMB94.6 billion, +representing an increase of 592.3% +over the same period of 2020. That was +mainly because that with the increase +of international crude oil prices and +steady improvement of market demand, +the Company increased its processing +volume and sales volumes which led to +an increase in the gross profit margin of +petrochemical products and significant +improvement of the Company's operating +results. +(4) Profit before taxation was RMB109.2 +billion, representing an increase of +124.6% compared with 2020. +(5) Income tax expense was RMB23.3 billion, +representing an increase of 267.6% +year on year. That was mainly due to +the taxable income increase as a result +of good profit the Company achieved in +2021. +(6) Profit attributable to non-controlling +shareholders was RMB13.9 billion, +representing an increase of RMB5.0 +billion and 57.2% over the same period +of 2020. That was mainly due to the +improvement in the profits of our non- +wholly owned subsidiaries. +(7) Profit attributable to shareholders of +the Company was RMB72.0 billion, +representing a year-on-year increase of +115.2%. +20 +20 +Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +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.

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. +18 REPURCHASE, SALES AND REDEMPTION +OF SHARES +17 PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS +On 25 May 2021, the 1st meeting of the eighth +session of the Board of Supervisors was held, +on which Mr. Zhang Shaofeng was elected as +Chairman of the eighth session of the Board of +Supervisors. +Report of the Board of Directors +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED) +10 DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD, THE +IMPLEMTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL +POLICIES BY THE COMPANY +During the reporting period, the Company +complied with the environmental policy in +all material aspects. Details with regard to +the Company's performance in relation to +environmental and social-related policies and +performances are provided in the section +"Environment and Social Responsibilities" +in this annual report as well as the 2021 +Sustainability Report of Sinopec Corp. +11 DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD, THE +COMPANY DID NOT VIOLATE LAWS OR +REGULATIONS WHICH HAVE A MATERIAL +IMPACT ON THE COMPANY +12 MAJOR SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS +During the reporting period, the total value +of the purchasing from the top five crude oil +suppliers of the Company accounted for 31% +of the total value of the crude oil purchasing +by the Company, of which the total value +of the purchasing from the largest supplier +accounted for 12% of the total value of the +crude oil purchasing by the Company. +Pursuant to the Articles of Association +and the laws of the PRC, the shareholders +of Sinopec Corp. are not entitled to any +pre-emptive rights. Therefore the existing. +shareholders cannot request Sinopec Corp. +to issue shares to them on a preferential +basis in proportion to their shareholdings. +The total revenue from the five largest +customers of the Company in 2021 was +RMB216,201 million, accounting for 7.89% +of the total revenue of the Company, of +which the sales value to the connected +party Sinopec Group among the five +largest customers was RMB73,186 million, +accounting for 2.67% of the total revenue for +the year. +13 BANK LOANS AND OTHER BORROWINGS +Details of bank loans and other borrowings +of the Company as of 31 December 2021 +are set out in Note 30 to the financial +statements prepared in accordance with +IFRS in this annual report. +14 FIXED ASSETS +During the reporting period, changes to the +fixed assets of the Company are set out in +Note 17 to the financial statements prepared +in accordance with IFRS in this annual +report. +During the reporting period, the changes +to the reserves of the Company are set out +in the consolidated statement of changes +in shareholders' equity in the financial +statements prepared in accordance with +IFRS in this annual report. +16 DONATIONS +During the reporting period, the amount of +charity donations made by the Company +amounted to RMB165 million. +During the reporting period, other than +disclosed above, to the best knowledge of the +Board of the Directors of the Company, none +of the Directors of the Company, their close +associates, and shareholders holding more +than 5% of the shares of the Company had +any interest in the top five suppliers or the +top five customers of the Company. There +were no suppliers, customers, employees +or others that have a significant impact on +the Company and on which the Company's +success depends. +25 CORE COMPETITIVENESS ANALYSIS +15 RESERVES +The integrated business structure of +the Company carries strong advantages +in synergy among its various business +segments, enabling the Company to +continuously tap onto potentials in attaining +an efficient and comprehensive utilisation +of its resources, and endowed the Company +with strong resistance against risks, as well +as remarkable capabilities in sustaining +profitability. +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 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. +The Company is a large scale integrated +energy and petrochemical company with +upstream, mid-stream and downstream +operations. The Company is a large scaled +oil and gas producer in China; in respect +of refining capacity, it ranks first in China; +equipped with a well-developed refined oil +products sales network, the Company is the +largest supplier of refined oil products in +China; and in terms of ethylene production +capacity, the Company ranks first in China, +and has a well-established marketing network +for chemical products. +During the 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 annual report, +financial statements, sustainable development +report, internal control assessment report and +working report of the Board of Supervisors etc. +Dear Shareholders: +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS +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. +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. +On 26 March 2021, the 12th meeting of the +seventh session of the Board of Supervisors +was held, and the proposals in relation to +Annual Report of Sinopec Corp. for 2020, the +Financial Statements of Sinopec Corp. for 2020, +Sustainable Development Report of Sinopec +Corp. for 2020, Internal Control Assessment +Report of Sinopec Corp. for 2020, Work Report +of the Board of Supervisors of Sinopec Corp. for +2020, Work Report of the 7th Session of Board +of Supervisors of Sinopec Corp., and Work Plan +of the Board of Supervisors of Sinopec Corp. +for 2021, were reviewed and approved at the +meeting. +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. +73 +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. +In 2021, 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. +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. +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 +Risks with regard to the variations from +macroeconomic situation: The business +results of the Company are closely related to +China's and global economic situation. China +achieved remarkable results in pandemic +prevention and control, and its economy +continued to grow. World economic recovery +was weak, and with significant imbalance +situation. The development of economy is +increasingly constrained by climate change +and environmental issues. 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, 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. +REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED) +Report of the Board of Directors +Report of the Board of Directors +71 +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +The Company has formulated a well- +established technology system and +mechanism, and owns competent teams +specialised in R&D covering a wide range of +subjects; the four platforms for technology +advancement is taking shape, which includes +exploration and development of oil and +gas, refining, petrochemicals and strategic +emerging technology. With its overall +technologies reaching state of the art level in +the global arena, and some of them taking +the lead globally, the Company enjoys a +strong technical strength. +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. Moreover, +the Company enjoys an outstanding +"Sinopec" brand name, plays an important +role in the national economy and is a +renowned and reputable company in China. +The Company owns a team of professionals +with expertise in the production of oil and +gas, operation of refineries and chemical +plants, as well as marketing activities. +The Company applies outstanding fine +management measures with its remarkable +capabilities in management of operations, +and enjoys a favourable operational cost +advantage in its downstream businesses. +The Company enjoys a favourable positioning +with its operations located close to the +consumer markets. Along with the steady +growth in the Chinese economy, sales +volume of both refined oil products and +chemical products of the Company has been +increasing steadily over the years; through +continuous and specialised marketing efforts, +the Company's capability in international +operations and market expansion has been +further enhanced. +Risks with regard to the cyclical effects +from the industry: The majority of the +Company's operating income comes +from the sales of refined oil products and +petrochemical products, and part of those +businesses and their related products are +cyclic and are sensitive to macro-economy, +cyclic changes of regional and global +economy, the changes of the production +capacity and output, demand of consumers, +prices and supply of the raw materials, as +well as prices and supply of the alternative +products etc. Although the Company is +an integrated company with upstream, +midstream and downstream operations, it +can only counteract the adverse influences of +industry cycle to a certain extent. +Risks from the macroeconomic policies +and government regulation: Although the +Chinese government is gradually liberalizing +the market entry regulations on petroleum +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. +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. +72 Annual Report 2021 CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION +Sinopec Beihai Refining and Chemical +99 +19,396 +13,461 +5,294 +Company Limited +21,113 +Limited Liability Company +44,082 +and Chemical Company Limited +Sinopec Overseas Investment +3,009 +100 +23,019 +13,467 +6,317 +4,270 +Holding Limited +Sinopec Catalyst Company Limited +1,500 +100 +11,330 +China Petrochemical International +1,400 +100 +Million USD +Sinopec Qingdao Refining and +9,606 +85 +11,807 +27,441 +59 +7,193 +Sinopec-SK(Wuhan) Petrochemical +Company Limited +10,616 +17,468 +68 +500 +Sinopec Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical +233,117 +486,036 +70 +28,403 +Sinopec Marketing Co., Limited +Chemical Company Limited +23,265 +40,040 +100 +229,548 +Sinopec Hainan Refining and +Chemical Company Limited +13,357 +23,807 +5,000 +100 +1,595 +China International United Petroleum +31,713 +100 +8,250 +Total Assets Net Assets +RMB million RMB million +(%) +RMB million +Corp. +Sinopec International Petroleum +Name of Company +Percentage +of +Shares Held +by Sinopec +Registered +Capital +On 31 December 2021, details of the principal wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries of the Company were as follows: +PRINCIPAL WHOLLY-OWNED AND CONTROLLED SUBSIDIARIES +lled Subsidiaries +Principal Wholly-Owned +and Controlled +82 +Bond General Information +4.05 +4.23 +Cash interest coverage ratio +Interest payment rate (%) +43.56 +100 +24.65 +12,460 +100 +Increase in total profit +Increase in net cash flow +Note: Liability-to-asset ratio indicates the ratio of total liabilities to total assets +During the reporting period, the Company paid in full and on time the interest accrued for the other bonds and debt financing instruments.

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. The Company reported impairment losses of +RMB2,467 million for the fixed assets relating to oil and gas producing +activities for the year ended 31 December 2021. +CHINA PETROLEUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION Annual Report 2021 +The Key Audit Matter +Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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.
