REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

Section 1: Business Overview

(1)

Description of the Principal Business, Operating Model and Industry in which the Company operated during the Reporting Period

Located at Jinshanwei in the southwest of Shanghai, the Company is a highly integrated petrochemical enterprise which mainly processes crude oil into a broad range of petroleum products, intermediate petrochemical products, resins and plastics, and synthetic fibres. The Company sells most of its products within the PRC domestic market and derives most of its revenue from customers in Eastern China, which is one of the fastest growing regions in the PRC.

The Company’s rapid development is supported by the ever-increasing demand in the PRC for high-quality petrochemical products. Relying on the competitive advantage of its high degree of integration, the Company is optimizing its product mix, improving the quality and variety of its existing products, upgrading technology and increasing the capacity of its key upstream plants.

Under the severe and complex economic environment, the petroleum and chemical industries have also experienced downward pressure. The most prominent problem is the decline in efficiency. According to the statistics of the China Petrochemical Federation, in the first half of 2019, China’s petroleum and chemical industry achieved RMB6.1 trillion of operating income, an increase of 2.2% year-on-year; the total profit was RMB359.6 billion, a decrease of 18.3% year-on-year; the total import and export volume was RMB358.7 billion, an increase of 1% year-on-year. In the first half of the year, except for the revenue growth and profits growth in the oil and gas exploitation industry, revenue in the refinery and chemical industries increased slightly, and the profits declined considerably. The operating income of the refinery industry was RMB1.91 trillion, an increase of 2.2% year-on-year, while the profit was RMB41.28 billion, a decrease of 62.4% year-on-year. The operating income of the chemical industry was RMB3.5 trillion, an increase of 0.8% year-on-year, while the profit was RMB208.54 billion, a decrease of 13.1% year-on-year.

According to statistics data from the The National Development and Reform Commission, during the first half of the year, the national crude oil processing volume amounted to 293.35 million tons, representing a decrease of 0.18%; the production volume of refined oil amounted to 184.25 million tons, representing a growth of 0.5%; and the consumption volume of refined oil amounted to 159.43 million tons, representing a growth of 0.94%, of which gasoline increased by 5.3%, diesel decreased by 3.93% and kerosene increased by 5.96%. The export volume of refined oil amounted to 27.20 million tons, representing an increase of 11.02%, of which gasoline decreased by 8.75%, diesel increased by 18.15% and kerosene increased by 21.79%. During the first half of the year, the production volume of ethylene amounted to 10.15 million tons, representing an increase of 9.8%. The production volume of primary-formed plastics amounted to 45.57 million tons, representing a growth of 7.4% while the production volume of synthetic rubber amounted to 2.90 million tons, a growth of 4.3%; and that of synthetic fibre amounted to 25.35 million tons, a growth of 12.3%. The production volume of fertilizer amounted to 29.65 million tons, representing an increase of 2.9%, of which nitrogen fertilizer and potash fertilizer respectively increased by 4.9% and 11.4% and phosphate fertilizer decreased by 5%. The production volume of pesticide amounted to 1.04 million tons, representing a growth of 2%.

6 Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

In light of the current international and domestic situation, the uncertainties and factors affecting oil price fluctuation are increasing, and the challenges of safety and environmental protection are severe. Products of civilian-run oil refining projects, which are characterised with large-scale oil refining, large production of ethylene and large production of aromatic hydrocarbons, will gradually enter into the market, bringing a huge impact to the petrochemical industry and intensifying competition within the petrochemical industry. In the second half of the year, the petrochemical industry will face more downward pressure.

(2)

Analysis of Core Competitiveness during the Reporting Period

As one of the largest integrated petrochemical enterprises in China with an integrated refinery and petrochemical capacity, the Company possesses strong operating scale and is the major manufacturer in refined oil, intermediate petrochemical products, synthetic resins and synthetic fibres in China. It also has self-owned utilities and environmental protection systems, as well as sea transport, inland shipping in China, rail transport and road transport ancillary facilities.

The Company’s major competitive advantage includes quality, geographical location and its vertically integrated production. The Company has over 40 years of petrochemical production and management experience, and has accumulated extensive resources in the petrochemical industry. The Company received which has garnered multiple quality product awards from the central and local governments. Located at the core region of Yangtze River Delta, the most economically active region in China with a strong demand for petrochemical products, the Company has access to a comprehensive logistics system and supporting facilities to tap its geographic proximity with most of its clients. This location provides the Company with convenient coastal and inland shipping. This gave the Company a competitive edge in terms of transportation costs and timely delivery. The Company has leveraged its advantages in integrated refinery and petrochemical capacity to actively strengthen product structure, while continuously improving products quality and variety. It has also improved production technology and boosted capacity of key upstream equipment to maximize the use and the efficiency in the utilisation of its corporate resources, and is therefore able to achieve strong and sustainable development.

Management Discussion and Analysis of the Overall Operations during the Reporting Period

(The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial report of the Group and the notes in this interim report. Unless otherwise specified, certain financial data involved hereinafter are extracted from the unaudited interim financial report prepared in accordance with IFRS.)

Review of the Company’s operations during the Reporting Period

In the first half of 2019, the world economic situation remained complex and severe. The relationship between international trade frictions and geopolitical tensions intensified. World economic growth and international trade all slowed down. The US economic growth rate slowed down after the surge, and the Eurozone economy performed bleak. The Japanese economy was in a moderate expansion trend, and its growth exceeded expectations. China’s external instability and uncertainties have increased, and the downward pressure on the economy has increased. Under the impetus of adhering to high-quality development and supply-side structural reforms, economic operations continued to remain within a reasonable range. In the first half of the year, GDP increased by 6.3% year-on-year, continuing the overall stable, steady and progressive development trend. Under the influence of the complicated domestic and international situation in China’s petrochemical industry, the downward pressure on the economic operation of the industry has increased. Although the investment in the industry has grown rapidly, the concentrated production of new capacity in the short term and the resulting market expectations have caused significant fluctuation and decrease in product prices. The overall growth of the industry was stable, exports gradually slowed down, and the decline in corporate efficiency did not fundamentally improve.

In the first half of 2019, in the face of increasingly complex and severe domestic and international economic and industrial situations, the Group focused on safety, environmental protection, production and operation, operational optimization, reform and innovation, and the annual goals were promoted in an orderly manner. For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group’s turnover reached RMB51,955.2 million with a decrease of RMB206.3 million, representing a decrease of 0.40% as compared to the same period last year. The profit before tax was RMB1,365.6 million (profit before tax for the same period last year was RMB4,542.3 million), representing a decrease of RMB3,176.7 million from the same period last year. Profit after tax and non-controlling shareholder interests was RMB1,143.6 million (profit for the same period last year was RMB3,551.3 million), representing a decrease of RMB2,407.7 million from the same period last year.

2019 Interim Report 9

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

The Group continued to deepen the optimization of production and operation and strengthened market development and costs reduction. In the first half of the year, the Group strengthened the supply chain management of crude oil procurement, combined with the market characteristics of the narrowing price differentiation between high and low sulfur, light and heavy crude oil price narrowing and some crude oil discount water, and moderately promoted the light weight structure of crude oil; optimized the structure of refined oil products, and increased the output of jet fuel by 25.10%, the cumulative diesel to gasoline ratio is 1.10, which is 0.09 lower than the same period of last year.

Total		6,890.9		46,125.1		100.0		6,758.6		46,047.1		100.0

In the first half of 2019, net sales of the Group amounted to RMB46,125.1 million, representing an increase of 0.17% over the same period last year. Among which, net sales of synthetic fibers increased by 6.68%, resins and plastics decreased by 1.47%, intermediate petrochemical products decreased by 15.60%, petroleum products and trading of petrochemical products increased by 1.76% and 5.23%, respectively. The net sales of products generally fluctuated less than that of the previous year, and the net sales of intermediate petrochemical products declined, mainly due to the 13.22% decrease in the unit price of sales during the Reporting Period. The increase in the net sales from the trading of petrochemical products was mainly attributable to the increase in the business volume of Jinshan Trading Corporation, an indirectly owned subsidiary of the Group, during the Reporting Period. In the first half of the year, the Group’s net sales of “Others” increased by 2.04% compared to the same period last year, which was mainly attributable to the increase in the Group’s revenue from oil processed on a sub-contract basis, as compared to the same period last year.

Most of the Group’s products are sold in Eastern China.

In the first half of 2019, the Group’s cost of sales increased by 7.39% year-on-year to RMB45,225.4 million, representing 98.05% of total net sales.

2019 Interim Report 11

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

The Group’s main raw material is crude oil. In the first four months of 2019, oil prices rebounded sharply at the end of last year, as OPEC continued to cut production, the United States imposed sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, the turmoil in Libya and Nigeria, and pipeline pollution in Russia has led to the decline in crude oil supply. Subsequently, US crude oil inventories increased, the prospects for trade war between China and the United States deteriorated, and the threat of US taxation on Mexican imports further exacerbated global trade tensions, triggering concerns on the demand side of crude oil, which led to a fall in oil prices. In the first half of the year, Brent crude oil futures closed at a maximum of USD74.57/ barrel, with a minimum of USD53.80/barrel. Half-year average price was approximately USD66.10/barrel, representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.06%. WTI crude oil futures closed at a maximum of USD66.30/ barrel and minimum of USD45.50/barrel, with the half-year average price of approximately USD57.34/ barrel, representing a year-on-year decrease of 12.32%. Dubai crude oil futures closed at a maximum of USD74.73/barrel and minimum of USD59.77/barrel, with the half-year average price of approximately USD65.62/barrel, a year-on-year decrease of 3.80%.

In the first half of 2019, the average unit cost of crude oil processed by the Group (for its own account) was RMB3,309.34/ton, representing an increase of RMB241.63/ton compared to the same period last year, or an increase of 7.88%. The main reasons were as follows: First, the discount water and freight of crude oil increased year-on-year; second, in order to increase the production of gasoline and aviation coal and reduce the production of asphalt, the Company increased the proportion of light oil processing in the first half of the year. The Group processed a total of 6,965,600 tons of crude oil (excluding crude oil processed on a sub-contract basis), representing an increase of 8,600 tons compared to the same period last year. Taken together, the total costs of processed crude oil increased by RMB1,709.0 million. Processing costs increased by RMB26.0 million due to an increase in the volume of crude oil processed. The increase in unit cost of processed crude oil brought costs up by RMB1,683.0 million. From January to June 2019, the Group processed 507,400 tons of crude oil processed on a sub-contract basis, representing an increase of 120,500 tons compared to the same period last year. In the first half of 2019, the Group’s cost of crude oil accounted for 50.97% of the total cost of sales.

In the first half of 2019, the Group’s cost for other ancillary materials amounted to RMB4,608.0 million, a decrease of 10.54% compared with the same period of last year. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s depreciation and maintenance expenses decreased by 5.86% year-on-year to RMB867.7million and RMB697.3 million, respectively, mainly due to the reorganization and transformation of some catalysts during the Reporting Period. The amortization was stopped in the current period, resulting in a decrease in the amortization amount. Maintenance expenses decrease by 9.02% year-on-year, mainly due to a decrease in maintenance work during the Reporting Period, which led to the decrease in maintenance costs. Fuel and power expenses decreased by 1.80% year-on-year to RMB1,148.0 million during the Reporting Period, mainly due to the decrease in the unit purchase price of coal.

In the first half of 2019, sales and administrative expenses of the Group amounted to RMB265.9 million, representing a decrease of 5.78% as compared to RMB282.2 million for the same period last year. This was mainly due to Jinshan Associated Trading Corporation’s storage fees decreased by RMB12.0 million during the Reporting Period.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

In the first half of 2019, other operating income of the Group amounted to RMB45.8 million, representing a decrease of RMB21.0 million compared to the same period last year. This was mainly due to a decrease of RMB21.0 million in government subsidy during the Reporting Period.

In the first half of 2019, the Group’s net finance income amounted to RMB213.7 million, compared to the net finance income of RMB209.2 million for the same period last year.

In the first half of 2019, the Group’s profit after tax and non-controlling shareholder interests was RMB1,143.6 million, representing a decrease of RMB2,407.7 million as compared to the profit of RMB3,551.3 million for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the first half of 2019, the Group’s net cash inflow generated from operating activities amounted to RMB220.4 million and the net cash inflow for the same period last year was RMB4,213.5 million. This was primarily due to an increase of RMB1.657 billion in the taxes paid during the Reporting Period compared with the previous period and a decrease in revenue. The profit before tax was RMB1,365.6 million during the Reporting Period (profit before tax for the same period last year was RMB4,542.3 million).

In the first half of 2019, the Group’s net cash inflow generated from investing activities amounted to RMB411.2 million and the net cash inflow for the same period last year was RMB48.3 million.

In the first half of 2019, the Group’s net cash inflow generated from financing activities amounted to RMB561.1 million and the net cash inflow for the same period last year was RMB821.6 million. This was primarily attributable to the decrease of RMB224.2 million in cash received by the Group as loans during the Reporting Period.

Borrowings and Debts

The Group’s long-term borrowings are mainly used in capital expansion projects. In general, the Group arranges long-term borrowings according to its capital expenditure plans. On the whole, there are no seasonal borrowings. Short-term borrowings are used to replenish the Group’s working capital requirements during the normal course of production. During the first half of 2019, the Group’s total borrowings increased by RMB555.4 million to RMB1,052.6 million as at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to the beginning of the Reporting Period, mainly due to the increase of short-term borrowings by RMB555.4 million. As at 30 June 2019, the total borrowings of the Group at fixed interest rates amounted to RMB1,000.0 million.

2.	Market Outlook and Work Plans for the Second Half of the Year

Looking forward to the second half of 2019, the uncertainties of world economy are constantly increasing, and the global trade tension will drag down the world economic growth. Recently, the global monetary policy has generally turned to relaxation, which will boost the economy to a certain extent. It is expected that the world economic growth will further slow down. Due to the impact of Sino-US trade frictions and lower market expectations, the downward pressure of China’s economy is further increased, but the resilience of China’s economic growth remains strong. It is estimated that the domestic economic growth will remain in a reasonable range in the second half of the year. The launch of a series of new environmental protection policies for China’s petrochemical industry will increase the costs incurred and pressure on the development of the entire industry. With changes in domestic petrochemical market pattern and the trend of saturation or excess of large petrochemical products, the growth rate of demand for petrochemical products will further slow down, and the market competition will become more intense.

In the second half of 2019, the global economy will face a series of threats, including trade tensions, weak European economy and the possibility of a no-deal Brexit, which will lead to a decline of global economic growth and damage to the crude oil demand. OPEC will continue to implement the production reduction agreement; US-Iraq relations, Venezuela situation and the escalation of the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates and other factors will give some support to oil prices. After the bottleneck of the US crude oil pipeline transportation is lifted, the accelerated growth of crude oil production will bring a greater impact on the supply side, and the pressure on international crude oil prices is still expected to be greater in the second half of the year.

In the second half of the year, the Group will further focus on safety, environmental protection and improvement on quality and efficiency, and promote production and operation, reform and development so as to accomplish the full-year goals and tasks.

To put efforts in safety and environmental protection and create a favorable environment for development. Construction of the HSSE management system and equipment integrity management system is pushed forward, risk management and hidden danger is strengthened, and the establishment of green enterprises is actively promoted. The Group will promote the full coverage of LDAR and “10,000 Employees Checking Odor” programs to ensure that more than 1,000,000 points of testing will be completed during the year. In the second half of the year, the management of overhaul process is be strengthened to ensure safety and eco-friendliness of equipment, high-quality overhaul and successful start-up at one time.

2019 Interim Report 15

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

Other Disclosure Items

Possible Risks

(i)

The cyclical characteristics of the petroleum and petrochemicals market and price volatility in crude oil and petrochemical products may have an adverse impact on the Group’s operations.

A large part of the Group’s operating income is derived from the sales of refined oil and petrochemical products. Historically, such products have been cyclical in nature and relatively sensitive to macroeconomic changes. Additionally, changes in regional and global economic conditions, productivity and output, prices and supply of raw materials, consumer demand and prices and supply of substitutes also have an effect. From time to time, these factors have a material impact on the prices of the Group’s products in regional and global markets. Given the reduction of tariffs and other import restrictions as well as the relaxation of control by the PRC government over the distribution and pricing of products, a substantial number of the Group’s products will increasingly be subject to the cyclical impact in the regional and global markets. In addition, the prices of crude oil and petrochemical products will remain volatile and uncertain. Higher crude oil prices and lower petrochemical products prices are likely to have an adverse impact on the Group’s business, operating results and financial condition.

(ii)

The Group may be exposed to risks associated with the procurement of imported crude oil and may not be able to pass on all increased costs due to rising crude oil price.

At present, the Group consumes a significant amount of crude oil for the production of petrochemical products. More than 95% of the crude oil consumption is imported. In recent years, crude oil prices have been subject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors, and the Group cannot rule out the possibility of any major unexpected event which may cause a suspension in crude oil supply. The Group has attempted to mitigate the effects of increased costs from rising crude oil prices by passing them on to the customers, but the ability to do so is limited because of market conditions and government control over the pricing of refined oil products. Since there is a time-lag between increases in crude oil prices and increases in petrochemical product prices, higher costs cannot be totally offset by raising the selling prices. In addition, the State also imposes control over the distribution of some petroleum products within China. For instance, some of the Group’s petroleum products are required to be sold to designated customers (such as subsidiaries of Sinopec Corp). Hence, when crude oil prices are high, the higher costs cannot be totally offset by raising the selling prices of the Group’s petroleum products.

22 Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

(iii)

Substantial capital expenditures and financing requirements are required for the Group’s development plans, presenting a number of risks and uncertainties.

The petrochemical industry is a capital-intensive industry. The Group’s ability to maintain and raise income, net income and cash flows is closely connected with ongoing capital expenditures. The Group’s estimated capital expenditures is estimated to amount to approximately RMB1,500.0 million in 2019, which will be met by financing activities and by internal funding. The Group’s effective capital expenditures may vary significantly due to the Group’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, investments and other factors that are beyond control. Furthermore, there is no assurance as to the completion, cost or outcome of the Group’s fund raising projects.

The Group’s ability to secure external financing in the future is subject to a number of uncertainties which include the Company’s operating results, financial conditions and cash flow in the future; China’s economic conditions and the market conditions for the Group’s products; financing costs and conditions of the financial market, and issuance of government approval documents, as well as other risks associated with the development of infrastructure projects in China and so forth. The Group’s failure to secure sufficient financing required for its operations or development plans may have an adverse impact on the Group’s business, operating results and financial condition.

(iv)

The Group’s business operations may be affected by existing or future environmental protection regulations.

The Group is subject to a number of environmental protection laws and regulations in China. Waste products (wastewater, waste gas and waste residue) are generated during the Group’s production operations. Currently the Group’s operations fully comply with all applicable environmental protection laws and regulations in China. However, the Chinese government may further impose stricter environmental standards, and the Group cannot assure that the central or local governments will not issue more regulations or enforce stricter regulations which may cause the Group to incur additional expenses on environmental protection measures.

2019 Interim Report 23

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

(v)

Changes in the monetary policy and fluctuations in the value of Renminbi may have an adverse impact on the Group’s business and operating results.

The exchange rate of the Renminbi against the US Dollar and other foreign currencies may fluctuate and is subject to alterations due to changes in political and economic situations. In July 2005, the PRC government overhauled its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the US dollar by permitting the Renminbi to fluctuate within a certain band against a basket of foreign currencies. Since the adoption of this new policy, the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar fluctuates daily. In addition, the Chinese government has been under international pressure to further ease its exchange rate policy, and may as a result further change its currency policy. A small portion of our cash and cash equivalents are denominated in foreign currencies, including the US dollar. Any increase in the value of Renminbi against other currencies, including the US dollar, may decrease the Renminbi value of our cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in foreign currencies. On the other hand, most of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi, but a major part of our procurement of crude oil, certain equipment and certain debt repayments are denominated in foreign currencies. Any devaluation of Renminbi in the future will increase our costs and jeopardize profitability. Any devaluation of Renminbi may also have an adverse impact on the value of dividends payable in foreign currencies by the Group for H shares and American Depository Securities.

(vi)

Connected transactions may have an adverse impact on the Group’s business and economic efficiency.

The Group will, from time to time, continue to conduct transactions with the Group’s controlling shareholder Sinopec Corp. and Sinopec Corp.’s controlling shareholder Sinopec Group as well as their connected parties (subsidiaries or associates). These connected transactions include the provision of the following services by such connected parties to the Group: raw materials purchases, agency sale of petrochemical products, construction, installation and engineering design services, petrochemicals industry insurance services and financial services, and the sale of petroleum and petrochemical products by the Group to Sinopec Corp. and its connected parties. These connected transactions and services conducted by the Group are carried out under normal commercial terms and in accordance with the relevant agreements. However, if Sinopec Corp. and Sinopec Group refuse to conduct such transactions or revise the agreements between the Group and itself in a manner unfavorable to the Group, the Group’s business and business efficiency will be adversely impacted. Furthermore, Sinopec Corp. has an interest in certain sectors that are directly or indirectly competing with or which may compete with the Group’s business. Since Sinopec Corp. is the controlling shareholder of the Group and its own interests may conflict with those of the Group, it may act for its own benefit regardless of the Group’s interests.

(vii)

Risks associated with control by the majority shareholder

Sinopec Corp., the controlling shareholder of the Company, owns 5,460,000,000 shares of the Company, which represents 50.44% of the total number of shares of the Company and gives it an absolute controlling position. Sinopec Corp. may, by using its controlling position, exercise influence over the Group’s production operations, fund allocations, appointment or removal of senior staff and so forth, thereby adversely affecting the Group’s production operations as well as minority shareholders’ interests.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SINOPEC SHANGHAI PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY LIMITED

(Incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 46 to 88, which comprises the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) as at 30 June 2019 and the interim condensed consolidated income statement, the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information of the Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

IFRS 17 ‘Insurance Contracts’, effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2021.

•

Amendments to IFRS 10 ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’.

The new standards and interpretations that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3	Changes in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2019 in Note 3.2 below.

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 retrospectively from 1 January 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 January 2019.

3	Changes in accounting policies (continued)

3.1

Impact on adoption of IFRS 16

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 ‘Leases’. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was from 4.35% to 4.90%.


	2019 RMB’000
Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 31 December 2018		84,746
Discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of at the date of initial application		77,046
(Less): short-term leases recognised on a straight-line basis as expense		(315	)

Lease liability recognised as at 1 January 2019		76,731

Of which are:
Current lease liabilities		74,093
Non-current lease liabilities		2,638

Right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2018. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

The recognised right-of-use assets relate to the following types of assets:


	As at 30 June 2019 RMB’000		As at 1 January 2019 RMB’000
Land use rights		327,619		335,026

Vehicles and other equipment		1,013		1,148

Total right-of-use assets		403,503		411,878

2019 Interim Report 57

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

3	Changes in accounting policies (continued)

3.1

Impact on adoption of IFRS 16 (continued)

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the balance sheet on 1 January 2019:

•

right-of-use assets – increase by RMB411,878 thousands

•

lease prepayment and other non-current assets – decreased by RMB355,026 thousands

•

prepayments – decrease by RMB121 thousands

•

lease liabilities – increase by RMB76,731 thousands

3.1.1

Impact on segment disclosures

As at 30 June 2019, allocated assets and allocated liabilities increased as a result of the change in accounting policy. Lease liabilities are now included in segment liabilities. The following segments were affected by the change in policy:


	Allocated assets RMB’000		Allocated liabilities RMB’000

Impact on adoption of IFRS 16 (continued)

3.1.2

Practical expedients applied

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

•

the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics, and

•

the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases,

The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’.

3.2

The Group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for

The Group leases various buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles and other equipment. Rental contracts are made for fixed periods of 1 to 30 years. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Prior to 1 January 2019, payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 January 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

2019 Interim Report 59

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

3	Changes in accounting policies (continued)

3.2

The Group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for (continued)

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

•

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

•

variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate

•

amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees

•

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

•

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

•

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

•

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

•

any initial direct costs, and

•

restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

4	Estimates

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

5	Financial risk management

(a)

Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The interim condensed consolidated financial information do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

(b)

Foreign exchange risk

The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. Nevertheless the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities (mainly trade payables), and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to US dollar. The Group’s finance department at its headquarter is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities, and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to minimise the foreign exchange risk. During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange risk respect to US dollar. The forward contracts the Group used are not designed as hedging instrument. During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group also entered foreign exchange option contracts which would be matured in 6 months to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange risk respect to US dollar. The option contracts the Group used are not designed as hedging instrument. As at 30 June 2019, the nominal amount of US dollar foreign exchange options were amounted to RMB9,207 thousands (31 December 2018: the nominal amount of US dollar foreign exchange options were amounted to RMB571,476 thousands).

As at 30 June 2019, if the foreign currencies had strengthened/weakened by 5% against RMB with all other variables held constant, the Group’s net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2019 would have been RMB31,486 thousands increased/decreased (31 December 2018: RMB30,713 thousands decreased/ increased in net profit) before considering the impact of forward and option contracts as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses which is mainly resulted from the translation of US dollar denominated trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

2019 Interim Report 61

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

5	Financial risk management (continued)

(c)

Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on group basis. It mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with banks, structured deposits, trade receivables, other receivables, bills receivable, etc.

Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at bank (including time deposits and structured deposits) and bills receivable since they are deposits and bank acceptance bills at state-owned banks and other medium or large size listed banks. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

In addition, the Group has policies to limit the credit exposure on trade receivables, other receivables and bills receivable. The Group assesses the credit quality of and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, the availability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The credit history of the customers is regularly monitored by the Group. In respect of customers with a poor credit history, the Group will use written payment reminders, or shorten or cancel credit periods, to ensure the overall credit risk of the Group is limited to a controllable extent.

The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of a financial asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:

•

internal credit rating;

•

external credit rating (as far as available);

•

actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the debtors’ ability to meet its obligations;

•

actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the debtors;

•

significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtors;

•

significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements;

•

significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the debtors, including changes in the payment status of debtors, etc.

5	Financial risk management (continued)

(c)

Credit risk (continued)

Regardless of the analysis above, a significant increase in credit risk is presumed if a debtor is more than 30 days past due in making a contractual payment.

It has other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews regularly the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

For other receivables, management makes periodic collective assessment as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records and forward-looking information. The management believe that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Group’s outstanding balance of other receivable.

(d)

Fair value estimation

The table below analyses the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value as at 30 June 2019 by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorised into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:

•

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted marked price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

•

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over–the– counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

•

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

(d)

Fair value estimation (continued)

The Group uses discounted cash flow model with inputted interest rate, which were influenced by historical fluctuation and the probability of market fluctuation, to evaluate the fair value of the structured deposits classified as Level 3 financial assets.

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value mainly represent trade receivables, other receivables, amounts due from related parties excluded prepayments, trade payables, amounts due to related parties, other payables (except for the staff salaries and welfare payables and taxes payables) and borrowings. As at 30 June 2019, these financial assets are expected to be collected in one year or less and these financial liabilities are due within one year or less. As a result, the carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

(b)

Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The Company has dilutive potential ordinary shares from share options for the six months ended 30 June 2018. The number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options less the number of shares that could have been issued at fair value (determined as the average market price per the Company’s A share for the six months ended 30 June 2018) for the same total proceeds is the number of shares issued for no consideration. The resulting number of shares issued for no consideration is included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares as the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share. As at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018, there was no potential dilutive ordinary share from share options.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and the six months ended 30 June 2018 was shown as:

Share-based payments

Pursuant to the resolution of the fifth meeting of the eighth session of the Board of Directors of the Company on 6 January 2015, the proposal regarding the list of participants and the number of share options under the share option incentive scheme was approved.

According to the Company’s share option incentive scheme, the grant date of share options was 6 January 2015, and there were a total of 38,760 thousand share options granted to 214 participants (0.359% of the total ordinary share capital issued). Each share option has a right to purchase an ordinary A share listed in PRC on vesting date at the exercise price under vesting conditions. The options were divided by three tranches of 40%, 30% and 30% of the total share options granted, respectively. Each tranche had independent vesting conditions relevant to year 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, which were listed as following:

•

weighted average rate of return on equity of the Group should be no less than 9% for 2015, 9.5% for 2016 and 10% for 2017 in respect to the three tranche;

•

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

•

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

•

for each year of 2015, 2016 and 2017, each of the above three conditions should be no lower than the 75% level of peer companies; and

•

achieving the target budget set by the Sinopec Corp. in 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

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

The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of this equity-settled, share-based compensation plan is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each tranche. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and share premium.

2	Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

The Group determines the accounting policies and accounting estimates based on its production and management features, mainly reflecting in provision for accounts receivables (Note2(9)), decline in the value of inventories (Note2(10)), depreciation of fixed assets (Note2(13)), impairment of long-term assets (Note2(18)), and income tax (Note2(26)) etc.

(5)

Business combinations

(a)

Business combinations involving enterprises under common control

The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination are measured at the carrying amount. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained from and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (capital premium). If the capital surplus (capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against undistributed profits. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.

(b)

Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control

The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.

(6)

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realised before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.

2	Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)

(6)

Preparation of consolidated financial statements (continued)

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and subsidiaries, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.

All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries’ owners’ equity and the portion of subsidiaries’ net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period not attributable to the Company are recognised as non-controlling interests, net profit attributed to non-controlling interests and total comprehensive incomes attributed to non-controlling interests and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under owners’ equity, net profits and total comprehensive income respectively. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to owners of the parent. Unrealized profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by a subsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. Unrealized profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by one subsidiary to another are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary.

If the accounting treatment of a transaction which considers the Group as an accounting entity is different from that considers the Company or its subsidiaries as an accounting entity, it is adjusted from the perspective of the Group.

(7)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits that can be readily drawn on demand, and short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated into RMB at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.

(9)

Financial Instruments

Financial assets refers to contracts when one side forms a financial asset while the other forms a financial liability or equity instrument. When our group becomes one side of a financial instrument contract, our group recognize a financial asset or a financial liability.

(a)

Financial assets

(i)

Financial assets classification and measurement

According to the business model of financial assets management and the characteristics of contract cash flow of financial assets, the group divides financial assets into: (1) financial assets measured by amortized cost; (2) financial assets measured at fair value and recorded into other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets measured at fair value and recorded in current profit and loss.

Financial assets are measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value and whose changes are included in the current profit and loss, relevant transaction costs are directly included in the current profit and loss; For other categories of financial assets, the relevant transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount. Accounts receivables or notes receivable arising from the sale of products or the provision of services, which do not contain or take no account of material financing elements, shall be initially recognized by the group in accordance with the amount of consideration to which the group is entitled to receive as expected.

Debt instruments

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 three ways:

Measured at amortized cost:

The group’s business model for managing such financial assets is to collect contract cash flow, and the contract cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangement, that is, the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment of principal and interest based on the amount of outstanding principal. The group recognizes interest income for such financial assets in accordance with the real interest rate method. Such financial assets mainly include monetary funds, notes receivable and accounts receivables, other receivables and creditor’s rights investment, etc. The group shall list the creditor’s rights investment that is due within one year (including one year) from the date of balance sheet as non-current assets that are due within one year; The creditor’s right investment within one year (including one year) at the time of acquisition is listed as other current assets.

Measured at fair value and recorded into other comprehensive income:

The Group’s business model for managing such financial assets is both to collect contract cash flow and to sell, and the contract cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. Such financial assets are measured at fair value and their changes are included in other comprehensive income, but impairment losses or gains, exchange gains and losses and interest income calculated according to the real interest rate method are included in current profit and loss. Such financial assets are listed as other creditor’s rights investments, and other creditor’s rights investments that are due within one year (including one year) from the date of balance sheet are listed as non-current assets that are due within one year; Other creditor’s rights investments with a maturity of one year (including one year) at the time of acquisition are listed as other current assets.

Measured at fair value and recorded in current profit and loss:

Debt instruments that are held by the Group that are not measured at amortised cost and that are measured at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. In the initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch, the Group designates certain financial assets as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. If it is more than one year from the balance sheet date and is expected to be held for more than one year, it is listed as other non-current financial assets.

Equity instruments

The Group will measure the equity instrument investment without its control, common control and significant influence according to the fair value and record its changes into the current profit and loss, and list it as a transactional financial asset; The assets that are expected to be held for more than one year from the balance sheet date are listed as other non-current financial assets.

In addition, the Group has designated some non-tradable equity instrument investments as financial assets measured at fair value and their changes included in other comprehensive income, and listed them as other equity instrument investments. The relevant dividend income of such financial assets is included in the current profit and loss.

Impairment

The Group recognizes loss provisions on the basis of expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt instrument investments measured at fair value and their changes included in other comprehensive income, etc.

The Group calculates and confirms expected credit losses, taking into account reasonable and well-founded information on past events, current conditions and projections of future economic conditions.

At each balance sheet date, the Group measures the expected credit losses of financial instruments at different stages. If the credit risk of the financial instrument does not increase significantly after the initial confirmation, it is in the first stage. The Group shall measure the loss reserve according to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months. Where the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since the initial confirmation but no credit impairment has occurred, it is in the second stage and the Group shall measure the loss reserve in accordance with the expected credit loss of the entire duration of the instrument; Where a credit impairment has occurred since the initial confirmation of the financial instrument, it is in the third stage and the Group shall measure the loss reserve according to the expected credit loss of the entire duration of the instrument.

For financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that the credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition and measures the loss provision according to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months.

For the financial instruments in the first and second stages and with low credit risks, the Group shall calculate the interest income according to the book balance and the actual interest rate before deducting the impairment provisions. For financial instruments in the third stage, the interest income shall be calculated according to the amortized cost and the real interest rate after the book balance is deducted and the provision for impairment is drawn.

For notes receivable and accounts receivables other than financial assets which are measured at fair value and recorded in other comprehensive income, whether there is significant financing component or not, the Group shall measure the loss reserve according to the expected credit loss of the whole duration.

Impairment (continued)

For other receivables, the Group calculates the expected credit loss by referring to the experience of historical credit loss, combining the current situation and the forecast of future economic situation, through the default risk exposure and the expected credit loss rate in the next 12 months or the whole duration.

The Group shall record the provision for loss accrued or brought back into the current profit and loss. For the debt instruments held by the Group, which are measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income, the Group shall adjust other comprehensive income when the impairment loss or profit is included in the current profit and loss.

(b)

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities measured at amortised cost and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group’s financial liabilities are mainly financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including notes payable, accounts payables, other payables and borrowings. Such financial liabilities are initially measured at their fair value less transaction costs and are subsequently measured using the effective interest method. If the term is less than one year (including one year), it shall be listed as current liabilities; if the term is more than one year but expires within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date, it shall be listed as non-period within one year. Current liabilities; the rest are presented as non-current liabilities.

When all or part of the current obligations of a financial liability have been discharged, the Group derecognises the portion of the financial liability or obligation that has been discharged. The difference between the book value of the derecognition portion and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(c)

Determination of the fair value of financial instruments

A financial instrument with an active market that determines its fair value by quoted prices in an active market. Financial instruments that do not exist in an active market use valuation techniques to determine their fair value. At the time of valuation, the Group adopts valuation techniques that are applicable under current circumstances and that are sufficiently supported by data and other information to be consistent with the characteristics of assets or liabilities considered by market participants in transactions in related assets or liabilities. Enter values and use the relevant observable input values as much as possible. Unobservable input values are used where the relevant observable input values are not available or are not practicable.

(10)

Inventories

(a)

Categories of inventories

Inventories include raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, spare parts and consumables, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(b)

Measurement of cost of inventories

Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprise raw materials, direct labour and systematically allocated production overhead based on the normal production capacity.

(c)

Basis for determining net realisable value of inventories and method of provision for impairment of inventories

Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of the carrying amounts of the inventories over their net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes.

(d)

The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system.

(e)

Amortisation methods for low-value consumables

Low value consumables are expensed upon issuance.

Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method.

(a)

Initial recognition

For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination: The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination involving enterprises under common control is the Company’s share of the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s equity at the combination date. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost is the combined cost issued by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquire.

For long-term equity investment acquired other than through a business combination, the initial investment cost is recognised at the actual consideration paid 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.

Long-term equity investments (continued)

(b)

Subsequent measurement

Under the cost method of accounting, long-term equity investments are measured at initial investment cost, investment income is recognised in profit or loss for the cash dividends or profit distribution declared by the investee.

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost exceeds the fair value of the Group’s share of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the investment is initially measured at cost; Where the initial investment cost is less than the fair value of the Group’s share of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is included in profit or loss for the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Group recognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group discontinues recognising its share of net losses of an investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions. For changes in shareholders’ equity of the investee other than those arising from its net profit or loss, the Group records its proportionate share directly into capital surplus, provided that the Group’s proportion of shareholding in the investee remains unchanged. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealised profits or losses arising from the intra-Group transactions amongst the Group and its investees are eliminated in proportion to the Group’s equity interest in the investees, and then based on which the investment gain or losses are recognised. For the loss on the intra-Group transaction amongst the Group and its investees attributable to asset impairment, and the related unrealised loss is not eliminated.

(c)

Definition of control, joint control or significant influence over the investees

Control refers to the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee, so as to obtain benefits from their operating activities. In determining whether the Company is able to exercise control over the investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee shall be considered, such as convertible debts and warrants currently exercisable.

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Significant influence refers to the power to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies of an enterprise, but not the power to control, or jointly control, the formulation of such policies with other parties.

(d)

Impairment of Long-term equity investments

The carrying amount of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(18)).

(12)

Investment properties

Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out, buildings that are held for the purpose of leasing and buildings that is being constructed or developed for future use for leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Buildings and land use rights are depreciated or amortised to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of investment properties are as follows:


	Estimated useful lives	Estimated net residual values		Annual depreciation rates
Buildings	30-40 years		3%	2.43%-3.23%

Investment properties (continued)

When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed asset or intangible asset at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred out for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is reclassified as investment properties at its carrying amount at the date of the transfer.

The investment property’s estimated useful life, net residual value and depreciation (amortisation) method applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.

An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

When the recoverable amount of investment properties is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (Note 2(18)).

(13)

Fixed assets

(a)

Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets

Fixed assets comprise buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles, other equipment, etc.

Fixed asset is recognized when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at the time of acquisition. The fixed assets injected by the state-owned shareholder during the restructuring were initially recorded at the valuated amount approved by the relevant authorities managing state-owned assets.

Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(b)

Depreciation of fixed assets

Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.

When the recoverable amount of fixed assets is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (Note 2(18)).

(d)

Disposal of fixed assets

A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(14)

Construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and other costs necessary to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation begins from the following month. When the recoverable amount of construction in progress is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (Note 2(18)).

(15)

Borrowing costs

The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a fixed asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed.

For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying fixed asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by deducting any interest earned from depositing the unused specific borrowings in the banks or any investment income arising on the temporary investment of those borrowing during the capitalisation period.

For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying fixed asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings used, to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amount of specific borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which estimated future cash flows during the period of expected duration or shorter period applied discounted to the initial amount of the borrowings.

(16)

Intangible assets

Intangible assets include land use rights and patents, and are measured at cost. The intangible assets injected by the state-owned shareholder during the restructuring were initially recorded at the valuated amount approved by the relevant authorities managing state-owned assets.

(a)

Land use rights

Land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 30-50 years. If the acquisition costs of the land use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use rights and the buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets.

(b)

Patents

Patents are amortised on a straight-line basis over the patent protection of 10-28 years as stipulated by the laws.

(c)

Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method

For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate.

(d)

Research and development

The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the research and development activities can form an intangible asset at end of the project.

Expenditure on the research phase is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

•

it is technically feasible to complete the research and development project so that it will be available for use or sale;

•

management intends to complete the research and development project, and use or sell it;

•

it can be demonstrated how the research and development project will generate economic benefits;

•

there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the research and development project; and

•

the expenditure attributable to the research and development project during its development phase can be reliably measured.

Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use.

(e)

Impairment of intangible assets

When the recoverable amount of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (Note 2 (18)).

(17)

Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses mainly include the catalyst expenditures, leasehold improvements and other expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses with the book value net of estimated residual value are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial periods and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation.

Catalyst expenditures are amortized on a straight-line method within 2 to 5 years.

The leasehold improvement of the rented fixed assets through commercial lease is amortized according to the average duration of 5 years.

Impairment of long-term assets

Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, long-term prepaid expenses, investment properties measured using the cost model and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that the assets may be impaired at the balance sheet date. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a Group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A Group of assets is the smallest Group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.

Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods.

(19)

Safety production costs

According to the decision of the State Council on Further Strengthening the work of production safety (Guofa No.2 2004), Shanghai Municipal Government to implement the State Council on Further Strengthening corporate safety work notice (Hufufa No.35 2010) and Safe production costs extraction and use of management practices (Caiqi No.16 2012) issued by the Ministry of Finance and the national production safety supervision administration on 2 February 2012, The Group extracted safety production costs in a certain percentage of sales revenue from the dangerous goods in previous year, which is used for safety costs.

The safety production costs, accrued in accordance with the above regulations, shall be charged in relevant costs or profit and loss, and in the specific reserve. Safety production costs, which belong to expenses, directly offset the special reserves. If the costs formed into fixed assets, the special reserves shall be offset according to the cost forming into fixed assets, and recognize the same amount of accumulated depreciation. This fixed asset shall no longer accrue depreciation in the following period.

(a)

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits include employee wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employee education costs, short-term paid absences. The employee benefit liabilities are recognised in the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. Employee benefits which are non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.

(b)

Post-employment benefits

The Group classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions; and Defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. During the reporting period, the Group’s post-employment benefits mainly include basic pensions, unemployment insurance and supplemental basic pensions, all of which belong to the defined contribution plans.

Basic pensions

The Group’s employees participate in the basic pension plan set up and administered by local authorities of Ministry of Human Resource and Social Security. Monthly payments of premiums on the basic pensions are calculated according to prescribed bases and percentage by the relevant local authorities. When employees retire, the relevant local authorities are obliged to pay the basic pensions to them. The amounts based on the above calculations are recognised as liabilities in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets.

•

The Group has a formal plan for the termination of employment or has made an offer to employees for voluntary redundancy, which will be implemented shortly.

•

The Group is not allowed to withdraw from termination plan or redundancy offer unilaterally.

Types of Share-based payment (continued)

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

The Group’s stock option incentive plans are equity-settled share-based payments and are measured at fair value of equity instruments granted to employees on the date of the grant. If the right cannot be exercised until the vesting period comes to an end and until the prescribed performance conditions are met, then within the vesting period, the services obtained in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments, be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the capital reserves shall be increased accordingly at the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of the grant. If the subsequent information indicates that the number of vested equity instruments is different from the previous estimate, an adjustment shall be made and on the vesting date, and the estimate shall be adjusted to equal the number of the actually vested equity instruments. On the vesting date, an enterprise shall, based on the number of the equity instruments of which the right is actually exercised, confirm share capital and share premium, and carry forward the capital surplus recognised within the vesting period.

(b)

Method for determining the fair value of share options

The Group uses Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the share options.

(c)

Estimate basis of the the number of options

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. As at the vesting date, the estimates of the number of options should be same with the actual exercised number.

(d)

Accounting treatment for share-based payments exercise

When the options are exercised at the vesting date, the Company issues new shares. At the same time, carry forward the capital reserve confirmed in the waiting period.

Provisions

Provisions for contingent liabilities etc. are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

(24)

Revenue recognition

The Group shall, when the customer acquires control over the relevant goods or services, recognize the income at the amount of consideration to which it is expected to be entitled.

(a)

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale is recognised when all of the general conditions stated above and the following conditions are satisfied: the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have been transferred to the buyer, as well as the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold. The Group recognizes revenue when goods are sent to designated place or customer take delivery of the goods from Group’s designated warehouse, and confirmed receipt by customers according to the terms of contract.

The Group provides discounts based on the sales amount, and recognizes revenue based on the contract value exclude expected discounts.

(b)

Oversea shipping services

Revenue from the oversea shipping services is recognised using the percentage of completion method, with the stage of completion being determined based on proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs.

Government grants

Government grants are transfers of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration, including tax refund, financial subsidies etc.

A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount that is received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at its fair value, or nominal amount when fair value not reliably measured.

A government grant related to an asset means grant that used for acquisition, construction or otherwise to form long-term assets. A government grant related to income is grant in addition to government grant related to an asset.

Government subsidies related to assets, write-off the book value of related assets, or recognized as deferred income and amortized into profit and loss within the service life of related assets in a reasonable and systematic way; And benefits related to government subsidies for compensating the related expenses or losses during the later, recognized as deferred income, cost and upon confirmation of the related expenses or losses, recorded into the profits and losses of the current or write-downs related cost, used for compensating the related expenses or losses incurred, directly recorded into the profits and losses of the current or write-downs related cost. The Group uses the same reporting method for similar government subsidies.

Government subsidies related to daily activities are included in operating profit, while government subsidies unrelated to daily activities are included in non-operating income and expenditure.

(26)

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred tax asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities (continued)

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:

•

the deferred taxes are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and

•

that tax payer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

(27)

Leases

A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset.

The Group acts as a lessee

The Group recognises the right-of-use asset on the commencement date of the lease term and recognises the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid. The lease payments include fixed payments and payments to be made in the event that it is reasonably determined that the purchase option will be exercised or the lease option is terminated. The variable rent determined based on a certain percentage of sales is not included in the lease payments and is recognised in profit or loss when incurred. The Group will list the lease liabilities paid within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date as non-current liabilities due within one year.

Leases (continued)

The Group acts as a lessee (continued)

The Group’s right-to-use assets include leased houses and buildings, machinery and equipment and other equipment. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability, the lease payments paid on or before the lease beginning date, and the initial direct costs. If the Group can reasonably determine the ownership of the leased asset at the expiration of the lease term, it is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the leased asset; if it is not possible to reasonably determine whether the ownership of the leased asset can be obtained at the expiration of the lease term, the lease term and the remaining use of the leased asset Depreciation is provided for a period of short life. When the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, the Group reduces its carrying amount to the recoverable amount.

For short-term leases with a lease term of not more than 12 months, the Group chooses not to recognise the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and the related rental expenses are recognised in profit or loss or related asset costs in the period on the straight-line method.

The Group acts as the lessor

A lease that transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the leased asset is a finance lease. Other leases are operating leases.

When the Group operates its own buildings, machinery and equipment, transportation vehicles and other equipment, the rental income from operating leases is recognised on the straight-line method over the lease term.

(28)

Hold for sale and terminate operations

Non-current assets or disposal Groups that meet the following conditions are classified as held for sale: (i) according to usual practice in similar sales transactions, the assets can be sold immediately under current circumstances, (ii) the Group has entered into a legally binding sale agreement with other parties and has obtained the relevant approval. And it is expected that the sale will be completed within one year.

Conform to the conditions of sale of non-current assets (not including financial assets, to the fair value of an investment real estate and deferred income tax assets), with the book value and the fair value minus the net amount after sale cost and what is low measurement, the fair value minus the net amount after sale cost is lower than the amount of the original book value, shall be recognized as asset impairment losses.

The assets and liabilities in the non-current assets and disposal Group held for sale are classified as current assets and current liabilities and are separately listed in the balance sheet.

2	Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)

(31)

Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

The Group continuously evaluates important accounting estimates and key judgments based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events.

(a)

Important accounting estimates and their key assumptions

The following important accounting estimates and key assumptions have important risks that will lead to significant adjustments in the book value of assets and liabilities in the next accounting year:

(i)

Inventory provision

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 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 cost of sales. 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.

(ii)

Impairment of long-term assets

Long-term assets are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date when events or changes in circumstance have indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such evidence indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, the carrying amounts exceed the recoverable amounts would be recognized as impairment loss and accounted in current profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of an asset (or an asset Group) is the greater of its net selling price and its present value of expected future cash flows. In assessing value in use, significant judgements are exercised over the assets’ (or the asset Group’s) production and sales, selling prices, related operating expenses and discount rate to calculate the present value. All relevant materials which can be obtained are used for estimation of the recoverable amount, including the estimation of the production, selling prices and related operating expenses based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)

(a)

Important accounting estimates and their key assumptions (continued)

(iii)

Estimated useful life and residual value of fixed assets

The Group assessed the reasonableness of estimated useful life of fixed assets in line with the historical experience on the basis of similar function or characteristic for the assets. If there are significant changes in estimated useful lives and residual value from previous years, the depreciation expenses for future periods are adjusted.

The Group reviews and adjusts the useful lives and estimated residual value of the assets regularly at the end of each year end.

(iv)

Income taxes

There are many transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgment is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

In addition, the Group recognises deferred tax assets only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against the assets which can be realised or utilized. If profit forecasts deviate from original estimates, the deferred tax assets will need to be adjusted in future, which has significant impact on profit.

In making the assessment of whether it is probable the Group will realise or utilise the deferred tax assets, management primarily relies on the generation of future taxable income to support the recognition of deferred tax assets. In order to fully utilise the deferred tax assets recognised at 30 June 2019, the Group would need to generate future taxable income of at least RMB483 million (31 December 2018, RMB476 million). Based on estimated forecast and historical experience, management believes that it is probable that the Group will generate sufficient taxable income.

Important accounting estimates and their key assumptions (continued)

(v)

Measurement of expected credit losses

The Group calculates the expected credit loss through default risk exposure and the expected credit loss rate, and determines the expected credit loss rate based on the default probability and the expected credit loss rate. In determining the expected credit loss rate, the Group USES data such as internal historical credit loss experience and adjusts historical data in combination with current conditions and forward-looking information. In considering forward-looking information, the indicators used by the Group include risks of economic downturn, growth of expected unemployment rate, changes in external market environment, technical environment and customer situation, etc. The Group regularly monitors and reviews assumptions related to the calculation of expected credit losses. The above estimated techniques and key assumptions have not changed significantly for the six months ended 30 june 2019.

(b)

The adoption of critical judgments in accounting policy

(i)

Classification of financial assets

The Group in determining the classification of financial assets involved in the major judgments including business model and contract cash flow characteristics of the analysis.

The Group determines the business model of managing financial assets at the level of financial asset portfolio, taking into account such factors as the way of evaluating and reporting the performance of financial assets to key managers, the risk and management methods that affect the performance of financial assets, and the ways in which relevant business managers are paid, etc..

When the Group evaluates whether the contract cash flow of financial assets is consistent with the basic loan arrangement, there are the following main judgments: whether the time distribution or amount of principal may change within the duration due to prepayment or other reasons; Whether interest include only the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks, and consideration of costs and profits. For example, whether the prepayment amount reflect only the principal outstanding and the interest based on the principal outstanding, as well as the reasonable compensation paid for the early termination of the contract.

			1 January 2019
			Consolidated	Company
	For the operating lease contracts that existed prior to the first implementation of the new lease criteria, the Group and the Company have different connection methods according to the remaining lease term:	Right of use assets Advances to suppliers Lease liability Non-current liabilities due within one year	76,852	74,112
			(121)	(109)
			2,638	136
			74,093	73,867


	If the remaining lease term is longer than one year, the Group and the Company recognise the lease liability based on the remaining lease payments and the incremental borrowing rate on 1 January 2019, and assume that the new lease criteria are adopted from the beginning of the lease period and are based on 2019. The incremental borrowing rate on January 1 of the year determines the book value of the right-of- use asset.

	If the remaining lease term is less than one year, the Group and the Company adopt a simplified method. The right to use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized and have no significant impact on the financial statements.

On 1 January 2019, when the Group and the Company measured the lease liability, the same discount rate was adopted for lease contracts with similar characteristics, and the incremental borrowing rates used was from 4.35% to 4.90%.

Under current tax law, these deductible losses will expire between 2019 and 2024.

The Company was founded in Shanghai, PRC on 29 June 1993 with registered capital of RMB4,000,000,000 invested by its holding company-China National Petrochemical Corporation; these shares were converted from assets of former Shanghai Petrochemical Complex.

Approved by Zheng Wei Fa No. [1993]30 issued by the State Council Securities Committee, the Company launched its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in July 1993 and September 1993 in Hong Kong, New York and Shanghai to issue 2.23 billion shares, including 1.68 billion H shares and 550 million A shares. The 550 million A shares included 400 million individual shares (including 150 million shares issued to SPC employees) and 150 million legal person shares. H shares were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 26 July 1993, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the form of American Depositary Shares at the same time; the A shares were listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on 8 November 1993.

After the IPO, the total quantity of shares issued by the Company was 6.23 billion, including 4 billion state- owned shares, 150 million legal person shares, 400 million individual shares, and 1.68 billion H shares.

According to the plan stated in the prospectus issued in July 1993, and approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the Company issued 320 million ordinary A shares with a par value of RMB1 each at an issuing price of RMB2.4 each during the period from 5 April to 10 June 1994.

Share capital (continued)

On 22 August 1996, the Company issued 500 million H shares to overseas investors; on 6 January 1997, another 150 million H shares were issued to overseas investors. By then, the total quantity of shares issued was expanded to 7.2 billion, including 2.33 billion H shares.

In 1998, China National Petrochemical Corporation was restructured to Sinopec Group.

Sinopec Corp. was founded on 28 February 2000 based on the approved assets restructuring of Sinopec Group. As part of the restructuring, the shares of the Company held by the Sinopec Group were injected in Sinopec Corp.; after the restructuring, the ownership of 4 billion state-owned shares of the Company held by the Sinopec Group were transferred to Sinopec Corp., and the shares were changed to state-owned legal person shares in nature.

All the A and H shares rank pari passu in all respects.

Pursuant to the ‘Approval on matters relating to the Share Segregation Reform of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited’ issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (State Owned Property [2013] No.443), a General Meeting of A share shareholders was held on 8 July 2013 and passed the resolution of ‘Share Segregation Reform of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (Amendment)’ (“the share segregation reform resolution”) which was published by the Company on Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”) website on 20 June 2013. According to the Share Segregation Reform Resolution, the controlling shareholder of the Company, Sinopec Corp., offered shareholders of circulating A shares 5 shares for every 10 circulating A shares they held on 16 August 2013, aggregating 360,000,000 A shares, for the purpose of obtaining the listing rights of its non- circulating shares in the A Shares market. From 20 August 2013 (“the circulation date”), all the Company’s non-circulating A shares have been granted circulating rights on Shanghai Stock Exchange(“SSE”). As part of the restricted conditions, Sinopec Corp. committed that all the 3,640,000,000 A shares held were not allowed to be traded on SSE or transferred within 12 months from the circulation date (“the restriction period”).

6	Segment information

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s business segments, the format of which is based on the structure of the Group’s internal organisation, management requirement, and internal reporting system.

In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group identified the following five reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.

The Group evaluates the performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on an operating income basis, without considering the effects of finance expenses, investment income, non-operating income and non- operating expenses. The accounting policies adopted by the operating segments are the same with the policies in summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates. The transfer price of intersegment is recognised with cost plus profit method.

The Group principally operates in five operating segments: petroleum products, intermediate petrochemicals, synthetic fibres, resins and plastics and trading of petrochemical products. Petroleum products, intermediate petrochemicals, synthetic fibres and resins and plastics are produced through intermediate steps from crude oil, the principal raw material. The specific products of each segment are as follows:

(i)

The Group’s petroleum products segment is equipped with crude oil distillation facilities used to produce vacuum and atmospheric gas oils used as feedstocks of the Group’s downstream processing facilities. Residual oil and low octane gasoline fuels are co-products of the crude oil distillation process. Part of the residual oil is further processed into qualified refined gasoline and diesel oil. In addition, the Group produces a variety of fuels for transportation, industry and household heating usage, such as diesel oil, jet fuel, heavy oil and liquefied petroleum gas.

(ii)

The intermediate petrochemicals segment primarily produces p-xylene, benzene and ethylene oxide. Most of the intermediate petrochemicals produced by the Group are used by the Group as raw materials in the production of other petrochemicals, resins, plastics and synthetic fibres. A portion of the intermediate petrochemicals as well as certain by-products of the production process are sold to outside customers.

(iii)

The synthetic fibres segment produces primarily polyester and acrylic fibres, which are mainly used in the textile and apparel industries.

(iv)

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

(v)

The Group’s trading of petrochemical products segment primarily engages in importing and exporting of petrochemical products.
