  • For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceed 25% but are less than 75%, the Disposal contemplated under the Share Purchase Agreement constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things: (i) further information regarding the Disposal; and (ii) other information as required by the Listing Rules.

THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date:

21 July 2020 (after trading hours)

Parties:

The Purchaser; and

Sinomart Development

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner is an Independent Third Party as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Assets to be disposed of

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Sinomart Development has conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire the Sale Shares.

The Sale Shares represent the entire issued share capital of the Target Company and are beneficially owned by the Company.

Basis of Consideration and Adjustment Mechanism

The Consideration of the Disposal is RMB3,220,388,400 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,510,223,400), subject to adjustment, if any, as set out in the paragraph headed "Adjustment Mechanism" below. The Consideration was arrived after arm's length negotiation between Sinomart Development and the Purchaser, and was determined with reference to the appraised value of the Target Company (without the Disposed Assets) based on discounted future estimated cash flows approach as at the Valuation Date (details of which are set out in "Appendix II - Business Valuation Report of the Target Company" to this circular).

As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 10 December 2019, the Company was in the course of negotiations with PipeChina in connection with the Disposal at the end of 2019. The Valuation Date had then been set as 31 December 2019 in contemplation of the Disposal.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus, the original timeframe of the Disposal has been delayed. Although the Valuation Date is not updated for the purpose of the Disposal, the Board is of the view that the determination of the Consideration with reference to the appraised value of the Target Company as at the Valuation Date is fair and reasonable on the following grounds:

  1. income method was adopted as the basis for valuation. Such method refers to assessing the value of assets by estimating the expected income that the valuated company can obtain in the future and converting it into the present value at the expected rate of return. During the Interim Period and even with the outbreak of novel coronavirus, the operation of the Target Company has remained relatively stable, due to the utilities nature of the Target Company's business. It is of the Board's view that the Target Company's business and thus its value should be relatively stable notwithstanding short term ups and downs of the market conditions. Accordingly, the appraised value of the Target Company as at the Valuation Date is considered to be a relevant reference; and
  2. adjustment mechanism (details of which are set out in the paragraph "Adjustment Mechanism" below) was in place in the Share Purchase Agreement to reflect any possible change in the profit and loss position of the Target Company during the Interim Period, which shall be enjoyed and borne by the Sinomart Development. Such profit and loss position of the Target Company does not only include the profit/loss earned by the Target Company, but also the appreciation/ depreciation amount of the assets of the Target Company during the Interim Period and is determined by Sinomart Development and PipeChina based on the audited financial statements, the audits of which shall be conducted by independent accounting firm(s) jointly appointed by both parties. It is considered by the Board that such mechanism can sufficiently protect the interest of the Company in respect of any change in the financial position of the Target Company before Completion.

Assumptions used in the Business Valuation Report

Both the asset-based method and the income method have been adopted for the valuation which is related to the natural gas pipeline transmission business carried out by the Target Company. As the Target Company's natural gas pipeline transmission business occupies a leading position in the pipeline transmission industry in Shandong Province, and the Target Company has continuing operations in the past which shows stable profitability, it is expected that it would be able to sustain profitability in the future. Both historical data and the Target Company's current status can be used as reference to quantify its future risks and benefits, the Independent Professional Valuer believes it is appropriate and objective to adopt income method for the final valuation results.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Business Valuation Report is prepared based on to the following principal assumptions:

  1. General Assumptions
    1. Assumption of Trading

It is assumed that all the assets to be valued are being transacted. The Independent Professional Valuer valuates the assets price by simulating a market transaction with reference to, among others, trading conditions of assets to be valued. It is one of the most basic premises and assumptions for a feasible assets valuation.

2. Assumption of Open Market

It is assumed that the transaction of assets of both parties traded or to be traded in the market rank pari passu and both parties have been provided with sufficient opportunities and time to acquire market information for the purpose of making rational judgment on the function, use and transaction price of the assets.

The assumption of open market is on the basis that the assets can be traded in the open market.

3. Assumption of Going Concern

It is assumed that the valuation method, parameter and basis used in the valuation are determined on the basis that the assets under valuation will be utilised continuously for current purposes and under the prevailing style, scope, frequency and environment, or will be used under changing conditions.

  1. Special Assumptions
    1. There is no material change to the PRC's prevailing macro-economic situation, financial and industrial policies, and others;
    2. There is no material change to other applicable taxation policies and tax rates and other social and economic conditions in which the Target Company is operating;
    3. The future management team of the Target Company duly performs its duties and maintains the existing operation style on a going concern;
    4. Each asset under valuation is based on the actual stock on the Valuation Date, and the current market price of relevant assets is based on the effective price in the PRC on the Valuation Date;
    5. This valuation assumes that the basic information and financial information are true, accurate and complete;

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. The scope of valuation is only based on the valuation declaration list provided by the Target Company, without considering any contingent assets and contingent liabilities that may subsist beyond such list;
  2. In view of the frequent changes or material changes in the enterprise's monetary funds or its bank deposits, and others during its operation, the financial cost valuation of this report does not take into account the interest income generated by deposits of the enterprise and any uncertain gains and losses including foreign exchange gains and losses, etc. If there are changes of the aforementioned conditions, the valuation results would generally cease to be effective; and
  3. It is assumed that the estimated cash inflow of the Target Company after the Valuation Date is the average inflow, and the cash outflow is the average outflow.

Adjustment Mechanism

The adjustment mechanism represents the change in profit and loss position of the Target Company during the Interim Period. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the profit and loss of the Target Company during the Interim Period shall be enjoyed and borne by Sinomart Development. The actual amount to be paid represents the profit and loss during the Interim Period and is determined by Sinomart Development and the Purchaser based on the audited financial statements, the audits of which shall be conducted by independent accounting firm(s) jointly appointed by both parties. The amount of the above adjustment is expected to be not greater than RMB150,000,000.

In addition, to facilitate the cross-border fund payment, the net proceeds from the disposal of the Disposed Assets will be transferred from the Purchaser to Sinomart Development together with the profit and loss, if any, of the Target Company during the Interim Period in cash.

Payment Mechanism of the Consideration

The Purchaser shall pay 90% of the Consideration to Sinomart Development prior to 23 October 2020 (inclusive), and pay the amount of interest calculated at the demand deposit interest rate offered by banks for the same period from 1 October 2020 to the day of payment. The Purchaser shall pay the remaining 10% of the Consideration within 15 Business Days after completion of the audits and issuance of the audit report by the independent accounting firm(s) appointed by both parties, and pay the amount of interest calculated at the demand deposit interest rate offered by banks for the same period from 1 October 2020 to the day of payment. If the Purchaser fails to complete the payment within the above-mentioned period due to the approval of the government departments, the payment period shall be extended accordingly, but the extension period shall not exceed 5 Business Days.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY AND SINOMART DEVELOPMENT

The Company, a non wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopec Corp., was incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Stock Exchange. The principal businesses of the Group include, among other things, the provision of natural gas pipeline transmission services, the operation of crude oil and oil products terminals and their ancillary facilities and the provision of global logistics services including storage, logistics, transportation and terminal services.

Sinomart Development, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company is wholly-owned by Sinomart Development.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Target Company is mainly engaged in the natural gas pipeline transmission business through its only core asset, Yulin-Jinan Pipeline. The pipeline starts in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, and ends at Jinan, Shandong Province, which passes through four provinces including Shaanxi Province, Shanxi Province, Henan Province and Shandong Province. The initial designed gas transmission capacity of the Yulin-Jinan Pipeline was 3 billion m3 per year. In order to further improve its profitability, the Target Company implemented the compression and capacity expansion of the Yulin-Jinan pipeline. The Yulin Start Station and the Pingyao Station had successively built additional compression equipment, thereby increasing the Yulin-Jinan pipeline transmission capacity to 4 billion m3 per year. New compression equipment (second compression project) will further be built at Anyang Station in the future and the transmission capacity of Yulin-Jinan pipeline is expected to be further increased to 5 billion m3 per year.

Set out below is a summary of the financial information of the Target Company (without the Disposed Assets) for the two financial years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at 31 December 2019, the total asset value and the net asset value of the Target Company (without the Disposed Assets) were approximately RMB4,043 million and approximately RMB2,254 million respectively, while the appraised value and the increased amount were RMB3,220 million and RMB966 million respectively with an appreciation rate of 42.84%.

INFORMATION OF THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser (PipeChina) was established on 6 December 2019 as a limited liability company funded by the State Council. PipeChina is mainly engaged in pipeline transmission, storage service, equipment imports, technology imports and exports, science and technology research, informatization research and application, and technology consultant, service, transfer and promotion. (With the items subject to approval in accordance with the law, any business activity shall be carried out in accordance with the scope as approved by relevant authorities.)

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner is an Independent Third Party as at the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL

Maximization of Shareholders' interests and continuous improvement of the return on assets of various business segments have always been one of the goals that the Company strives to pursue. As such, the Board evaluates the performance of each business segment from time to time and implements corresponding measures in a timely manner. After a thorough and careful evaluation, the Board decided to sell the Group's natural gas pipeline business in due course for the reasons listed below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group is engaged in natural gas pipeline transmission business through Yulin-Jinan Pipeline owned by the Target Company. Yulin-Jinan Pipeline mainly provides natural gas transmission services for Daniudi Gas Field of Sinopec Corp.. In recent years, the production capacity of the gas field can only be maintained at about 3 billion m3 per year which can provide limited contribution to the profit increment of the Company. For the three consecutive years ended 31 December 2019, revenues of the Group's natural gas pipeline transmission business segment were approximately HK$1,137 million, HK$1,000 million and HK$852 million, respectively, and segment results were approximately HK$475 million, HK$380 million and HK$266 million, respectively. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the billing of inter-provinciallong-distance natural gas pipeline services in the PRC has been regulated by the PRC Government, and since 1 September 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission has promulgated and implemented a new natural gas pipeline transmission tariff standard, in which the pipeline transmission service billing was changed from original "one province one price" billing model to a unit-based pipeline transmission distance billing model, which brought about certain negative impacts on the Target Company's profitability. According to the new billing model, under the same pipeline transmission volume and gas transmission structure, the revenue and profitability of the pipeline transmission business have been reduced. At present, the pipeline transmission capacity of the Yulin-Jinan Pipeline has

- 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

reached 4 billion m3 per year, and it is expected to further increase to 5 billion m3 per year after the completion of the second compression project. Therefore, the disposal of the Yulin-Jinan Pipeline on one hand enables the Company to focus on the projects with higher returns, and on the other hand, it can also enable the Yulin-Jinan Pipeline to fully utilize its transmission capacity and realize better value.

In contrast, benefited from the economic growth and increasing energy demand in the PRC, the performance of the Company's crude oil jetty and storage business segment has continued to grow for consecutive years. For the three consecutive years ended 31 December 2019, the throughput of the Group's crude oil jetty were approximately 235 million tons, 250 million tons and 265 million tons, respectively; the segment results of the crude oil jetty and storage business segment were approximately HK$1,010 million, HK$1,166 million and HK$1,241 million, respectively. In the next few years, a further increase in new oil refining plants in the PRC will further provide opportunities for the development of the Group's oil terminal and storage business in the PRC.

In summary, the Board believes that the transfer of 100% of the equity interests in the Target Company to PipeChina is a very rare opportunity. In addition to applying part of the net proceeds from the Disposal to improve the financial position and replenish the working capital of the Group, the Company will continue to seek the strong support from the parent company and apply the remaining net proceeds from the Disposal to further develop the Company's crude oil jetty and storage business at appropriate times with the aim of shaping the Company into a world-class international petrochemical storage and logistic company.

Accordingly, the Directors consider that the terms (including the Consideration) of the Share Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL TO THE GROUP

Earnings and use of proceeds

Except applying part of the net proceeds of the Disposal to improve the financial position and enhance the working capital of the Group, the Company will continue to seek the strong support from the parent company and apply the remaining net proceeds of the Disposal to further develop the Company's crude oil jetty and storage business at appropriate times with the aim of shaping the Company into a world-class international petrochemical storage and logistic company.

For illustrative purpose, based on the Target Company's carrying amount of net assets to be disposed as at 31 December 2019 of approximately RMB2,254 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,457 million) and the Consideration of approximately RMB3,220 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3,510 million), it is estimated that the Group will record a profit before taxation from the Disposal of approximately RMB966 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,053 million). The net impact to retained earnings of the Disposal is approximately RMB144 million (equivalent to approximately HK$157 million), being the effect of transferring of the merger reserve of approximately RMB822 million (equivalent to

- 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

approximately HK$896 million), recorded by the Group in 2015 for the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Sinopec Yu Ji Pipeline Company Limited, to retained earnings, and the profit before taxation from the Disposal.

It should be noted that the actual gain or loss on the Disposal to be recorded by the Group will depend on the carrying value of net assets to be disposed of recorded on the Group's financial statements at the date in which completion of the Disposal takes place, the transaction cost including tax effect for the disposal and therefore may be different from the amount mentioned above.

Assets and liabilities

The Directors have confirmed that, save as disclosed above, there has not been any material change in the indebtedness and contingent liabilities of the Group since 30 June 2020.

3. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirm that they are not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2019, being the date to which the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

4. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account of the Group's internal resources, cash flow from operations, the facilities available and also the effect of the Disposal, the Group will have sufficient working capital to satisfy its present requirements, that is, for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of (i) crude oil jetty and storage services; (ii) vessel chartering and logistics services; and (iii) natural gas pipeline transmission services.

As disclosed in the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group's revenue was approximately HK$1,447,378,000, representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 12.58% as compared with 2018 of HK$1,655,633,000; gross profit was approximately HK$647,725,000, representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 20.75% as compared with 2018 of HK$817,309,000; operating profit was approximately HK$533,371,000, representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 19.23% as compared with 2018 of HK$660,371,000. The decrease in revenue, gross profit and operating profit was mainly due to the commencement of scheduled maintenance of the refinery equipment for China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation Guangzhou Branch, the largest downstream customer of Huizhou Daya Bay Huade Petrochemical Company Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company during the year and the decreased annual natural gas pipeline transmission volume of Sinopec Yu Ji Pipeline Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

- 18 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Despite the decrease in revenue, gross profit and operating profit, for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group recorded a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$1,285,111,000, representing increase of approximately 1.83% as compared with 2018 of HK$1,262,071,000. Such increase in profit for the year was mainly driven by the continued growth in profits of the crude oil jetty and storage business segment and investment return of the Company's crude oil terminal associate and joint ventures.

Looking ahead, there are a number of uncertainties that the global economy is facing, such as the outbreak of novel coronavirus and the escalation of Sino-US trade frictions. In particular, the outbreak of novel coronavirus remaining uncertain has brought a persisting and material adverse impact to the global economy. It is expected that the pandemic may still be fluctuating in China until the global pandemic is effectively contained. However, it is believed that the government will adopt specific preventive measures in a timely manner so that the overall stable development momentum of China's economy can be maintained. As far as the Group's businesses are concerned, after the disposal of the entire equity of the Target Company, the Group still retains the two business segments of crude oil jetty and storage services as well as vessel chartering and logistics services. At present, the throughput of domestic crude oil terminal companies has basically recovered to the level before the pandemic; the overseas storage business is on a more positive trend due to the expected changes in the oil products market while the LNG vessel chartering business has remained stable. The Group will closely monitor the possible impact from market and pandemic on the business operations of the Group, and adopt effective contingency plans in a timely manner to strive for the smooth operation of various businesses.

VII. VALUATION METHOD

  1. Selection of Valuation Method

In accordance with the provisions of assets valuation criteria, the valuation of enterprise value can adopt three methods, namely the income method, market method and asset-based method. The income method refers to estimating the expected income that the valuated unit can obtain in the future and converting it into the present value at the expected rate of return, which its valuation target is the overall profitability of the enterprise, that is, the value of the overall enterprise is evaluated through the idea of "seeking profits". The basic conditions for its application are: the enterprise has the foundation and conditions for continuous operation, there is a relatively stable relation between operation and income, and future income and risks can be predicted and quantified. The market method adopts a market comparison approach, that is, using the value of a traded enterprise or a listed company that is the same or similar to the valuated unit as reference, through comparative analysis with the valuated unit and the reference, and necessary adjustments to the valuation idea to estimate the overall value of the valuated unit. The asset-based method refers to the idea of determining the value of the valuation target on the basis of a reasonable appraisal of the assets and liabilities of the enterprise.

The purpose of this valuation is to transfer assets. The asset-based method reflects the value of relevant assets and liabilities from the perspective of asset purchase and construction, and provides a basis for the establishment of business accounts, operation management and evaluation after the realization of economic behavior. Therefore, the asset-based method is suitable to be adopted for this valuation.

This valuation object is related to the oil and gas pipeline transmission business-related assets held by the company. It has continued operations in the historical year and has good profitability. It has the ability to continue to develop profitability in the future. Historical data can be used as a reference and combine the company's current status to quantify its future risks and benefits, so the adoption of income method is appropriate for this valuation.

The relevant assets of the oil and gas pipeline transmission business included in this valuation have certain differences from other enterprises in terms of asset size, asset distribution, operating characteristics, profitability, etc., and it is impossible to find the value or listing of a traded enterprise that is the same or similar to the valuated unit as a reference, so this evaluation does not choose the market method for valuation.

- 37 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

In summary, it is determined that the asset-based method and the income method are adopted for this valuation.

(II) Introduction to Asset-based Method

The asset-based method refers to a valuation idea that determines the value of the valuation target based on a reasonable valuation of the value of various assets and liabilities.

The valuation method of relevant assets and liabilities of the company and subsidiaries involved in this valuation is as follows:

1. Current assets

  1. Monetary funds: including cash, bank deposits and other monetary funds.

For currency funds with RMB as the currency, the book value is valuated after verification. Foreign currency deposits are converted into Renminbi as the appraised value based on the exchange rate of the foreign currency quoted on the Valuation Benchmark Date.

  1. Accounts receivable (accounts receivable, other receivables)

For the assessment of accounts receivable, on the basis of the verification of the accounts receivable, the appraisers will use historical data and the current investigation to understand the situation, and analyze the amount, the time and reason of arrears, the situation of payment recovery, the arrears' funds, credit, operation and management status, etc. Accounts receivable adopts the individual identification method and aging analysis method to estimate the risk loss of assessment. For employee reserve funds, employee deductions, related party transactions and transactions within the group, the possibility of assessing the risk of bad debt losses is zero. If there is high possible that part of the payments cannot be recovered from external parties, and it is difficult to determine whether the amount will be recovered or not, refer to the method of calculating the bad debt reserve of the enterprise's accountant to estimate the estimated risk of loss. The assessment value is determined by the sum of accounts receivable minus the assessment risk of loss. The provision for bad debts is valuated as zero in accordance with the relevant provisions of the valuation.

  1. Prepayments

The valuation personnel examined the relevant contracts, material supply agreements and other documents to understand the services received and the goods received during the period from the Valuation Benchmark Date to the valuation site survey. Determine the appraised value based on the verified book value.

- 38 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. Inventories

Inventories are mainly raw materials, and the specific valuation method is as follows:

The raw materials are mainly special pipes, oil products, power equipment, general equipment, bearings, valves and other spare parts for various specifications and models related to oil and gas pipeline transmission services. The book value of raw materials consists of the purchase price and reasonable expenses. For some raw materials with long age and large price fluctuations, the appraised value is confirmed according to the current market price; for raw materials with short storage age and confirmed to be usable normally with little change in price and raw materials with normal turnover, the book unit price is close to the market price on the benchmark date plus a reasonable fee, and the estimated value is determined based on the verified book value.

  1. Other current assets

Other current assets are mainly retained tax credits. The appraisers conducted specific analysis on the reasons for the formation of other current assets and checked the relevant accounting books and vouchers. The appraised value is confirmed by the book value after verification.

2. Non-current asset

  1. Fixed assets - housing and building assets

Based on the purpose of this valuation, combined with the characteristics of the housing and building assets to be valuated, the housing and building assets included in the scope of this valuation mainly include the housing and building assets independently constructed by the company. For the self-built assets of houses and buildings, the replacement cost method is adopted for valuation.

The replacement cost method is to use the current conditions to repurchase or construct the entire assets under a brand new state estimation required for cost estimation. Usually, the full replacement price of a building is calculated in accordance with the amount of construction work and the current fixed standard, construction fees, and loan interest rate based on the construction project data and completion settlement data, while the new rate is determined comprehensively in accordance with the service life and the site survey of the building, and the net appraised value of the building is calculated. The basic calculation formula is:

Valuation value of housings and buildings = full replacement price × residual ratio

- 39 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  • Determination of replacement full price

Since the company is a general VAT taxpayer, the entire replacement price of the assets of housings and buildings in this valuation does not include tax.

The full replacement price generally consists of three parts: the construction and installation cost, pre-construction costs and other expenses, and capital costs. The calculation formula is as follow:

Full replacement price (excluding tax) = construction and installation cost (excluding tax) + prior period and other expenses (excluding tax) + capital cost

  1. Determination of construction and installation cost

For key projects with budgeting accounts data, the budget account adjustment method is adopted, that is, the appraiser calculates the project based on the amount of budget accounts, referring to the current quota standard, and the construction and installation costs of such projects are calculated in accordance with the market price information of the civil construction materials in the area where the assessed unit is located on the Valuation Benchmark Date.

For key projects without estimates and budgets data, budget quotas for similar projects are adopted, pro forma engineering quantities are reprogrammed, and the construction and installation cost of the projects to be evaluated is calculated based on the relevant quotas and price documents applicable on the Valuation Benchmark Date.

For construction projects with generally small value, the appraiser refers to the budget quota, construction quota or estimated index of the cost of the same type of construction and installation project, and obtains the construction cost of the construction project to be evaluated after corrections are made in accordance with the differences in construction cost such as floor height, column distance, span, decoration standards, water and electricity facilities, etc.

  1. Determination of pre-construction costs and other expenses

According to the national standards, industry and local construction management departments prescribed various fee rate standards and administrative charging policy documents, determine the upfront expenses and other expenses.

- 40 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. Determination of capital costs

According to the reasonable construction period of the valuated unit, the loan interest rate is determined with reference to the loan market quoted interest rate announced by the National Interbank Funding Center on 20 December 2019, based on the total construction and installation costs, pre-construction and other expenses, the capital cost is calculated based on the average investment of funds. The calculation formula is as follow:

Capital cost = [construction project construction cost (tax inclusive) + prior period and other expenses (tax inclusive)] × reasonable construction period × loan interest rate × 1/2

- 41 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  • Determination of the residual ratio

This valuation respectively assessed the useful life of various buildings by referring to the economic life of the buildings with different structures, and through on site prospection of each construction (structure), prospection of the foundation of the construction (structure), loading structural parts (beam, panel, pillar), wall, floor, house exterior part, door and windows, wall coating, suspending ceiling, water intake and drainage, ventilation, electricity and lighting etc. according to the "Basis of reference for Identifying the Degree of Ageing of Buildings" and "Scoring Scale and Revised Factor of Different Percentages in New Conditions of Buildings" released by the former Urban and Rural Environmental Construction & Protection Department by taking into account the utilization status, repair and maintenance situations of the building. Then determining the residual ratio according to the following formula:

Residual ratio = usable life time / (used life time + usable life time) × 100%

  • Determination of appraised value

Valuation value = full replacement price (excluding tax) × residual

ratio

  1. Fixed assets - equipment assets

Pursuant to the purpose of this valuation, in accordance with the principle of continuous use, based on market prices, combined with the characteristics of the equipment included in the valuation scope and the information collected, the replacement cost method is mainly used for valuation.

  1. Determination of the full replacement price
    A. Long-distance oil and gas pipeline

Full replacement price = pipe purchase cost + construction cost + pre-construction and other costs + construction compensation cost + capital cost

  • Pipe purchase cost

The purchase cost of pipes is an important part of the value of fixed assets. In the construction of long-distance pipelines, the method of feeding materials is generally adopted. The valuation needs to analyze the types, materials, grades and consumption of long-distance transmission

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

pipeline materials based on final accounts data or project completion drawings, etc., and then determine the purchase cost of the pipeline materials according to the market price of the corresponding steel products on the benchmark date without tax.

  • Construction cost

The construction cost of the long-distance pipeline is an important part of the asset value, which is mainly composed of the line construction fee, anti-corrosion construction fee, cross-over construction fee, line accessory facility construction fee and communication facility construction fee. Among which, the cross-over construction fee feated is treated individually in the course of pipeline construction and needs to be calculated separately.

This valuation is based on the principle of market-based prices. For those who have clearly defined standards for Sinopec, they will be estimated according to the corresponding quota standard. If there is no specific quota standard, refer to the local quota standard and combine the price adjustments of various personnel, materials and machines on the Valuation Benchmark Date to measure the target asset.

  • Pre-constructionand other costs

For the pre-construction expenses based on the investment amount, according to the actual pre-expenses and other expenses incurred by each company, combined with the increase and decrease of the relevant charge items by the nation, the calculation items are appropriately determined. For local fees, collect the relevant fee documents executed locally on the Valuation Benchmark Date, and re-calculate and determine on such basis.

The preliminary and other expenses mainly include feasibility study fees, project construction management fees, survey and design fees, project supervision fees, and joint trial operation fees.

  • Construction compensation cost

For the intangible assets - land use rights formed in the construction compensation costs, in the corresponding subject valuation, in order to avoid double calculation, it is not considered here. Other compensation costs for the intangible

- 43 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

assets that have not been formed, such as temporary land use compensation fees and passing right compensation fees etc., the appraised value shall be determined after adjusting the changes in the land price index in accordance with the construction period and the Valuation Benchmark Date.

  • Capital cost

The capital cost is calculated according to the overall reasonable construction period of the project, and the reasonable cost of funds is calculated according to the loan market quoted interest rate announced by the National Interbank Center on 20 December 2019.

  1. Domestic machinery and equipment

Full replacement price = equipment purchase price + transportation and miscellaneous fees + installation and commissioning fee + basic fee + pre-construction and other expenses + capital cost- deferred VAT

According to the tax policy issued by the state, the value-added input tax paid by enterprises for fixed assets purchased in accordance with regulations can be deducted (including value-added tax for imported equipment). The assessment unit this time is a general taxpayer enterprise that can be deducted from VAT. This valuation adopts the tax-exclusive price to determine the replacement price.

  • Purchase price

It is mainly determined by inquiring prices from manufacturers or trading companies, or by referring to price information such as the 2019 Mechanical and Electrical Product Price Information Inquiry System (Institute of Mechanical Industry Information), and by referring to the recent contract prices of similar equipment. For a few devices whose purchase price cannot be found, the purchase price is determined by using the price change rate of the same type of equipment in the same generation.

For non-standard special equipment, according to the settlement and final accounts data provided by the enterprise, the recalculation algorithm is used to determine the replacement price on the Valuation Benchmark Date.

- 44 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  • Transportation and miscellaneous fees

Based on the purchase price (tax inclusive), according to the loading and unloading, transportation, storage, insurance and other related expenses incurred between the manufacturer and the location of the equipment, it is calculated at different rates of miscellaneous fees. If the purchase price includes transportation costs, transportation and miscellaneous fees will no longer be counted.

  • Installation and commissioning fees

According to the characteristics, weight, and difficulty of installation of the equipment, based on the purchase price (tax inclusive), it is calculated at different installation and commissioning rates.

Installation and commissioning fees and small, non-installable equipment are already included in the purchase price, and installation and commissioning fees are not considered.

  • Basic fees

Individual benchmark refers to settlement data on the basis of the basic fee reference rate provided in the "Valuation Common Data and Parameter Manual", combined with the actual expenditure of the valuated unit and determined by analysis.

If the equipment does not require a separate foundation or the foundation has been considered in the construction of the housings, the book value has been reflected in the building and the equipment base cost is not considered.

  • Pre-constructionand other expenses

Calculated with reference to relevant national, local, and industry related charging regulations, including construction unit management fees, project supervision fees, and engineering survey and design fees.

  • Capital cost

According to the bank loan interest rate implemented on the Valuation Benchmark Date, it is assumed that the capital is evenly invested during the construction period to calculate the cost of funds.

- 45 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Capital cost = (equipment purchase price + transportation and miscellaneous fees + installation and commissioning fees + basic fees + pre-construction and other expenses) × loan interest rate × construction period × 0.5

  1. Transportation vehicles

Determining the current tax-included purchase price of transportation vehicles based on local vehicle market sales information and other recent vehicle market price data, and on such basis, the vehicle purchase tax and new car registration license procedure charges are included in the Interim Regulations on Vehicle Purchase Tax of the People's Republic of China.

The valuation unit this time is a general taxpayer enterprise that can be deducted from VAT. This valuation adopts the tax-exclusive price to determine the replacement price. The calculation formula is as follow:

Full replacement price = current tax-free purchase price + vehicle purchase tax + new car registration fee

For vehicles that have been discontinued or have no substitute product market sales price, refer to the secondary market price to determine their full replacement price.

  1. Electronic equipment

According to the local market information and other recent market price data such as hc360.com, the full replacement price is determined on the basis of its purchase price.

  1. Handling of special conditions

For some equipment that has been discontinued or has exceeded the economic life span, the market method is used for valuation, and the net price of the equipment is directly determined based on the secondary market transaction data on the Valuation Benchmark Date.

The installation, commissioning and reconstruction costs of the equipment are not appraised separately, but included in the valuation of the corresponding equipment.

For end-of-life equipment, the appraised value is determined based on the recoverable net income.

  1. Determination of residual ratio
    A. Residual ratio of long-distance oil and gas pipelines

Through on-site investigation, understanding the working environment and existing technical status of the long-distance pipeline, and consulting the recent technical data, related repair records and operation records, periodic inspection reports, etc., combined with industry experience statistical data, the useful life and residual ratio are determined, the calculation formula is as follow:

Residual ratio = usable life / (usable years + used years) × 100%

Among which, the judgment and determination of the usable life mainly consider the following factors:

  • the difference between the designed useful period and the used period of the pipeline construction;
  • cost and time for pipeline renewal and overhaul;
    • pipeline operation records, periodic inspection reports, remaining life prediction reports, etc.
  1. Residual ratio of machinery and equipment
    For special equipment and general machinery and equipment,

based on the economic life of the equipment and the number of years of use, through the on-site investigation and understanding of the use and technical status of the equipment, it is determined that the years it can still be used.

Consolidated residual ratio = usable life / usable years + used years × 100%

  1. Residual ratio of vehicles

For transportation vehicles, in accordance with the Provisions on the Criteria for Compulsory Discard of Motor Vehicles (Order of Ministry of Commerce, NDRC, Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Environmental Protection No. 12, 2012), the residual ratio is determined according to the following method and whichever is the smaller shall be the final residual ratio, namely:

Residual ratio of service life = (1 - used life / regulations or economic life) × 100%

- 47 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Mileage residual ratio = (1 - mileage travelled / prescribed mileage traveled) × 100%

Residual ratio = Min (residual ratio of service life, mileage residual ratio) + a

  1. a: Adjustment factor for special vehicle conditions

  2. Residual ratio of electronic equipment
    The residual ratio was determined by adopting the

serviceable method.

Residual ratio = serviceable life / (actual serviceable life + serviceable life) × 100%

    1. Determination of appraised value
      Valuation value = full replacement price × residual ratio
  1. Construction in progress
    The valuation adopts the cost method to appraise the construction in

progress. In order to avoid double valuation of assets and omission of asset value, combining the characteristics of constructions in progress, the following valuation methods are adopted for each type and specific situation of construction in progress:

  1. Completed projects

The completed construction in progress is valuated according to the fixed asset valuation method, namely:

Estimated value of completed projects = full replacement price × residual ratio

  1. Unfinished projects
  • for projects under construction within half a year from the benchmark date, according to the amount reported in the project under construction, after checking and verifying the accounts, the residual value of unreasonable expenditures is excluded as the appraised value.
  • for projects under construction for more than half a year from the benchmark date, if the book value does not include the capital cost, the capital cost needs to be added. If the

- 48 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

book value already includes the capital cost, the capital cost will be recalculated based on the replacement expenditure amount and the reasonable construction period.

    • if the book value is significantly different from the price level on the Valuation Benchmark Date, the construction cost will be adjusted according to the price level on the Valuation Benchmark Date.
  1. Right-of-useassets
    The appraisers reviewed the lease contracts, detailed accounts and

vouchers of the related right-of-use assets, verified the formation of the right-of-use assets and the content of equity, understood the initial cost composition of the right-of-use assets, the lease period and the remaining lease term, etc., and conducted an interview with the management of the company to valuate the right-of-use assets using the lease discount method based on the type and characteristics of the right-of-use assets.

  1. Intangible assets - land use rights

For intangible assets-land use rights included in the scope of this valuation, the valuation team analyzed the applicability of different valuation methods based on the location, nature of the land, use conditions and local land market conditions of the valuation target, and eventually determined a reasonable valuation method and its basic idea.

After verification, valuation target is land for pipeline transportation. In recent years, there are many similar land acquisition cases in the area of the parcel to be estimated, and the cost of acquiring and developing the land has a more accurate basis. Therefore, the cost approximation method is suitable for valuation.

  1. Deferred tax assets

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. Introduction of the income method
    1. Overview

According to relevant requirements of the State Administration authorities, Standard for Practice of Assets Valuation - Enterprise Value as well as valuation practices for similar transactions internationally and domestically, the capital value of equity interests in the valuated unit has been valued by adopting the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method based on income sources in this valuation.

The DCF method is a method of assessing the value of assets by discounting the expected future net cash flow of an enterprise into its present value. Its basic idea is that the assessed value is arrived by estimating the expected net cash flow of assets in the future and discounting it into the present value by adopting an appropriate discount rate. The applicable basic conditions are as follows: the enterprise shall possess the bases and conditions as a going concern, and there is a relatively stable relation between operation and income, and the future income and risk shall be predictable and quantifiable. The greatest difficulty in adopting the discounted cash flow method is the prediction of the expected future cash flow and the objectivity and reliability in collecting and processing data. When the prediction of the expected future cash flow is objective and fair and the discount rate is reasonable, the valuation results are relatively objective.

2. Basic idea of valuation

Based on the due diligence and the asset composition and main business characteristics of the valuation target, this valuation estimates the valuation target's equity capital value with reference to the its accounting statements. The basic idea of this valuation is:

  1. According to the development trend of the historical operation and the estimated expected income (net cash flow) of primary business category, it is discounted to the value of operating assets;
  2. Cash assets (liabilities) including monetary funds, dividends receivable and payable as at the benchmark date, and assets such as doubtful or idle equipment not taken into account in estimating the expected income (net cash flow), will be classified as surplus or non-operating assets (liabilities) subsisted as at the benchmark date. The value of this category will be appraised separately;

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. The enterprise value of the valuation target is obtained by aggregating the values of the above assets and liabilities. The capital value of equity interests in the valuation target attributable to the parent is arrived after deducting the value of interest bearing debts and equity interests of minority shareholders as at the Valuation Benchmark Date.

3. Valuation model

  1. Basic model
    The basic valuation model in this valuation is:

  1. Income Indicator
    In this valuation, the enterprise free cash flow is taken as the income

indicator for operating assets of the valuation target. Its basic definitions are as follows:

R = net profit + depreciation and amortisation + interest on interest bearing debts after tax - additional capital (5)

The expected future free cash flow of the valuation target is estimated in accordance with the operation history and future market development. The free cash flow for the future operating period is discounted and aggregated to calculate the value of operating assets of the enterprise.

  1. Discount rate

In this valuation, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) model is applied to determine the discount rate "r":

(II) Valuation results of income approach

As of the Valuation Benchmark Date, the book value of the net assets of Sinopec Yu Ji Pipeline Company Limited was RMB2,254,495,600, the net assets after the valuation by income approach were RMB3,220,388,400, and the increased amount was RMB965,892,800, with an appreciation rate of 42.84%.

(III) Selection of the valuation conclusion

The net assets after the valuation by income approach were RMB3,220,388,400, the net assets after the valuation by asset-based approach were RMB2,708,893,200, and the differences between the two approaches were RMB511,495,200, with a discrepancy rate of 18.88%.

The main reason for the discrepancy in the valuation results of two approaches is that the consideration perspectives of two valuation approaches are different.

For the income from natural gas pipeline transmission business, the National Development and Reform Commission published the "Measures for the Administration of Natural Gas Pipeline Transmission Prices (for Trial Implementation)" and the "Measures for the Supervision and Review of Natural Gas Pipeline Transmission Pricing Costs (for Trial Implementation) (Fa Gai Jia Ge Gui [2016] No. 2142)" (the "Measures") on 9 October 2016, which clarified a new pricing method and standard for interprovincial pipeline for natural gas. The Measures clearly stipulate that, the pipeline transmission price shall be formulated based on the "permitted cost plus reasonable gain principle, i.e. to determine the total annual permitted income and verify the pipeline transmission price through factors including verifying the permitted cost of the pipeline transmission enterprise, regulating the permitted gain, considering the taxes, etc., that is, if the company's future annual revenue is determined based on the effective asset size and permitted cost of the company, the revenue will be principally affected by the scale of the company's effective asset size. Having considered the company's effective assets are in fixed amount, so the future annual income is relatively fixed, and therefore, sensitivity analysis will no longer be conducted on the revenue.

- 60 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

The costs are calculated based on the depreciation of fixed assets, electricity costs and external labor expenses. Firstly, depreciation is determined on the original cost of the fixed assets and the depreciation policy which is relatively accurate. Secondly, the electricity costs are mainly from the use of gas compression machinery with steady transmission capacity and standard specifications and function, which the electricity costs will be relatively steady. Thirdly, the external labor expenses are subject to contract and policy which are relatively fixed, and therefore, sensitivity analysis will no longer be conducted on the cost.

Save for the above-mentioned matters, no material defects in property rights affecting the valuation conclusion were identified in the valuation.

  1. Other matters required to be elaborated
    1. The legal liability of the valuer and the valuation firm is to exercise professional judgement on determining the value of assets within the scope of valuation purpose as indicated in the report. It does not involve the making of any judgement by the valuer and the valuation firm on the economic behaviors corresponding to such valuation purpose. To a large extent, the valuation depends on the relevant information provided by the client and the valuated unit. Therefore, the valuation is based on the authenticity and legality of the documents related to relevant economic activity, title documents of ownership rights, certificates, accounting vouchers and legal documents provided by the client and valuation firm.
    2. During the valuation process, the pipeline transmission price of the interprovincial gas transmission pipeline is forecasted in accordance with the provisions of the "Measures for the Administration of Natural Gas Pipeline

- 68 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Transmission Prices (for Trial Implementation)" and the "Measures for the Supervision and Review of Natural Gas Pipeline Transmission Pricing Costs (for Trial Implementation) (Fa Gai Jia Ge Gui [2016] No. 2142)", such documents have been implemented since 1 January 2017 with an effective period of 5 years. The pipeline transmission price of the interprovincial gas transmission pipelines on the Valuation Benchmark Date was the price verified in accordance with the above-mentioned documents in 2017. In accordance with the provisions of such documents, the pipeline transmission price, in principle, shall be verified and adjusted every 3 years. The year of 2020 should be a year for re-verifying the pipeline transmission price. In view of the reform of the oil and gas pipeline network operation mechanism, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Letter relating to the Oil and Gas Network Pipeline Price Policy during the Transition Period of the Reform of Oil and Gas Network Pipeline Operation Mechanism (Fa Gai Ban Jia Ge [2020] No. 185)" on 3 March 2020, to clarify "the maintenance of the overall stability of the price level of oil and gas network pipeline during the transition period of the reform, for those already have government pricing, shall continue to implement the price level as regulated by the government" and "the basic principle of the pricing of oil and gas network pipeline shall maintain unchanged". Considering that 2020 is the year of restructuring of the oil and gas network pipeline, it is expected the above-mentioned trial measures will be revised in 2021 and the pricing re-verified in 2022, therefore, the valuation sets the transition period of the reform as 2020 to 2022, the pipeline transmission price of the interprovincial gas transmission pipeline shall continue to be forecasted in accordance with the provisions of the Fa Gai Jia Ge Gui [2016] No. 2142 document as from 2023. Users of this report are advised to pay attention.

  1. For the inventories included in the scope of valuation on the benchmark date
    - a total 22.94 million cubic meters of cushion gas for pipeline, the valuation listed its value based on the book value of RMB47 million on the Benchmark Date. Subsequent to the Valuation Benchmark Date and up to the valuation report date, there was a significant fluctuation on the price of the oil and gas market. The parties to the transaction are advised to pay attention to the impact of such significant subsequent events on the valuation conclusion, and determine the transaction price with reference to the market price level on the asset settlement date.
  2. The cost of funds involved in this valuation is calculated based on the loan prime rate (LPR) of the National Interbank Funding Center under the authority of the People's Bank of China on the Valuation Benchmark Date, without taking into account of the impact of the reductions in the loan prime rate (LPR) of the National Interbank Funding Center on 20 February 2020 and 20 April 2020 respectively on the appraised value. Users of this report are advised to pay attention.

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. Due to the large number of branches and valve rooms are involved in the scope of valuation, the on-site due diligence inspection of the valuation failed to carry out on-site stock taking or investigation in each location, and on-site investigation and sampling inspection were carried out only on selective representative valve room. For similar assets which have not been investigated, alternative procedures were adopted for valuation personnel to spot-check contracts with large amount, invoices, storage record, etc., with the pictures of on-site investigation and stock taking, important equipment as well as questionnaire on assets provided by personnel of the enterprise.
  2. During the valuation process, the valuation personnel inspected the exterior of the assets in the category of building being valuated, and examined the interior and use of the building as much as possible, without undergoing any structural and material tests. When examining the equipment, due to reasons such as limitation of testing method, we mainly rely on the external observation by the valuation personnel, recent testing information provided by the valuated unit and inquiry to the related operating personnel to judge status of the equipment.
  3. A number of buildings within the scope of valuation have not obtained the housing ownership certificates, the gross floor areas of which were reported by the enterprises based on the actual situation and confirmed by seal. The valuation personnel conducted valuation based on the reporting data, if it is not in line with the measurement area of the relevant measurement flats at the time when the valuated unit is handling the housing ownership certificates, the data of the land survey department shall prevail and corresponding adjustments shall be made on the valuation. Users of this report are advised to pay attention.
  4. The valuation conclusion does not take into account of the impact of the relevant tax fees arising from the process of future transactions of the asset on the valuation conclusion, nor does it take into account of the changes in tax obligations that may arise from the increase or decrease in value. Users of this report are advised to pay attention.
  5. The scope of valuation and the data, financial statements and relevant information used in the valuation are provided by the valuated unit. The valuated unit is responsible for the authenticity and completeness of the information provided.
  6. The relevant title documents of ownership rights and related information are provided by the valuated unit. The valuated unit is responsible for the authenticity and legality of the information provided.
  7. For the purpose of the asset valuation engagement, the valuer is responsible for valuing the valuation target and providing professional opinions, without the responsibility for decision-making. The user of the asset valuation report

- 70 -

APPENDIX II BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

shall understand and use the valuation conclusion properly, the valuation conclusion should not be regarded as a guarantee of the realizable value of the valuation target.

  1. The profit forecast of the valuated unit obtained by the appraisal institution is the basis of the income approach used in the valuation report. The valuer has carried out the necessary investigation, analysis and judgement on the profit forecast of the valuated unit. After a number of discussions with the management of the valuated unit and its shareholders and the subsequent revision and improvement by the valuated unit, the valuation institution adopted the relevant data of the profit forecast provided by the valuated unit. Using the profit forecast of the valuated unit by the valuated institution does not guarantee the future profitability of the unit.
  2. If, for an effective period after the Valuation Benchmark Date, there is a change in the quantity of assets or standard of valuation, it should be dealt with in accordance with the following principles:
    1. when there is a change in the quantity of assets, the valuated amount of the assets should be adjusted according to the original valuation method;
    2. When there is a change in the standard of valuation which has a significant impact on the asset valuation results, the client should promptly engage a qualified appraisal institution to re-determine the value of the assets;
    3. In the event of any change in the quantity of assets or the standard of valuation after the Valuation Benchmark Date, the client should give full consideration to the actual value of the assets and make corresponding adjustments.

XII. EXPLANATION OF LIMITATION ON USAGE OF THE VALUATION REPORT

  1. This valuation report shall be used only for the valuation purposes and applications specified herein. In addition, the valuation conclusion reflects the current fair value of the valuation target determined according to the open market principles in the context of the valuation purposes, without taking into account of the impact of possible undertaking of guarantee, security and any special additional payment of the price by the parties upon the valuation price. Moreover, the impact of changes in the state's macroeconomic policies, natural disaster and force majeure upon the prices of the assets are not considered in this report. If there are changes in the above-mentioned conditions and the other situations such as the going concern concept that had been applied in the valuation assignment, then the valuation conclusion will normally cease to be valid. The valuation firm is not liable for the relevant legal responsibilities for the invalidity of the valuation results due to changes in such conditions.

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the business valuation (the "Valuation") dated 20 July 2020 prepared by China United Assets Appraisal Group in respect of the appraisal of the fair value of the 100% equity interests in Sinopec Yu Ji Pipeline Company Limited (the "Disposal Company") is based. The Valuation is set out in Appendix II of the circular of Sinopec Kantons Holding Limited (the "Company") dated 7 August 2020 (the "Circular") in connection with the disposal by the Company of a 100% equity interest in the Disposal Company. The Valuation based on the discounted future estimated cash flows is regarded as a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (the "Listing Rules").

Directors' Responsibility for the Discounted Future Estimated Cash Flows

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined by the directors and as set on pages 7 to 9 of the Circular. This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

It is our responsibility to report, as required by paragraph 29(2) of Appendix 1B of the Listing Rules, on the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the Valuation is based.
