The aggregate amount of connected

was paid out by the
Company, and RMB 42.047 billion (including, RMB 41.969 billion of sales of

of income from agency fee) was received by the Company. During the
reporting period, the products and services provided
by Sinopec Group (purchase, storage and transportation, exploration and
production services and production-related services) to the Company
amounted to RMB 20.198 billion, representing 6.0% of the
Company’s operating expenses of the reporting period; the
ancillary and social services provided by Sinopec Group to the Company
amounted to RMB 392 million, representing 0.12% of operating expenses of
the reporting period. During the reporting period, the product sales from

RMB 17.454 billion, representing 5.25% of the Company’s operating
revenue.
3.2.2 Issuance of Bonds with Warrants in Domestic
Market
At
the third extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Sinopec Corp.
for 2007 held on 15 November 2007, the proposal relating to the issuance
of bonds with warrants (“Bonds with Warrants”) was reviewed and approved.
The proceeds from issuance will be used to fund the Sichuan-East China Gas
Project, Tianjin 1 million tonnes per annum (tpa) ethylene project,
Zhenhai 1 million tpa ethylene project and repayment of bank loans. The
proceeds from the exercise of warrants, if exercised, will be used to fund
Tianjin 1 million tpa ethylene project, Zhenhai 1 million tpa ethylene
project, Wuhan ethylene project, repayment of bank loans or replenishment
of working capital of Sinopec Corp. The issuance of Bonds with Warrants in
the amount of up to RMB 30 billion was approved by China Securities
Regulatory Commission (CSRC) on 31 January 2008. The Bonds with Warrants
were issued on 20 February 2008. The Bonds with Warrants have a 6-year
term and 0.8% per annum fixed coupon rate, and the 3.03 billion warrants
were distributed with exercise ratio of 2 to 1 and a term of 2 years. The
bonds and warrants were listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange on 4 March
2008.
3.2.3
Subsidies
Since 2007, the international
prices of crude oil have been soaring up. Domestic prices of oil products have been
kept under tight control, and have even turned out lower than the
prices of crude oil.
Some local refineries have experienced insufficient
operation and even
discontinued their production work. Besides, due to the increased
consumption of diesel oil in wintertime, the oil products markets in some
regions have began to see a short supply scene. In order to
ensure the smooth operations of the finished oil products market, the
Company has taken multiple measures to enhance its production of oil products, purchased oil
products from local refineries at high prices, in an effort to ensure its supply of oil
products to the domestic market. These measures have
worked out salient results, but have also given rise to a relatively big
loss in the refining segment of the Company. In March 2008, the Company received
subsidies in the amount of RMB 12.3 billion; among
others, RMB 4.9 billion was incorporated into the subsidy income of 2007,
and RMB 7.4 billion was incorporated into the
subsidy income of the first quarter of 2008.
3.2.4 Proposal to issue domestic corporate
bonds
The 19th meeting of the 3rd Board of Directors of
Sinopec Corp. has passed on 3 April 2008 the proposal with regard to the issue of
domestic corporate bonds with a total amount of no
more than RMB 20 billion yuan, and will submit this proposal to the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held
on 26 May 2008 for review and approval. It is intended to use a raised
fund of RMB 10 billion yuan to adjust the Company’s current debt structure; and the
remaining funds raised are intended to be used to replenish the
Company’s working capital and improve the
Company’s funding condition.
