Henan Yanchang is principally engaged in the wholesale, retail, storage and transportation of refined oil and by-products (gasoline, diesel oil, paraffin fuel oil, lubricating oil, grease and asphalt). Henan Yanchang has been granted a valid licence since 21 December 2006 (without expiry date) for the distribution and sale of refined oil and by-products in the PRC.

Yanchang Petroleum Group owns the right for exploration, exploitation and operation of oil and natural gas resources and has refining facilities in the PRC, and owns oil and natural gas resource assets in the PRC and abroad.

The Sales Agreements were entered into in the usual and ordinary course of the Group's business and the terms of which were negotiated based on normal commercial terms and the prices were determined after arm's length negotiation and on terms which the Group considers to be no less favourable than those terms offered by Henan Yanchang to its independent third- party customers for such oil of comparable product type and quantity at the relevant time.
