Explanatory Note

This Amendment on Form 20-F/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 27, 2017 (the “Original Filing”). The purpose of this Amendment is to respond to certain comments received from the staff of the Commission.

In addition, the Product Supply and Sales Services Framework Agreement with China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation and China Petrochemical Corporation (previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 of the Company’s 2013 annual report on Form 20-F), and the Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement with China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (previously filed as Exhibit 4.2 of the Company’s 2013 annual report on Form 20-F) were renewed and extended with the new expiration date of December 31, 2019. Such agreements were refiled as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2 to this Amendment to reflect the new terms.

All information contained in this Amendment is as of the filing date of the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events or transactions occurring after such filing date or modify or update those disclosures in the Original Filing that may have been affected by events or transactions occurring subsequent to such filing date. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and any documents filed with or furnished to the Commission by us subsequent to April 27, 2017.

PART I

 

ITEM 5.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in financing activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was RMB2,637.2 million in 2016, while our net cash used in financing activities was RMB3,695.7 million in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in repayments of borrowings to third parties of RMB25,521.7 million, the effect of which was partially offset by the decrease in proceeds from borrowings from third parties of RMB23,690.3 million from 2015 to 2016 as we reduced crude oil processing volume in 2016 due to weak customer demand for our petroleum products.

Our net cash used in financing activities was RMB3,695.7 million in 2015, while our net cash used in financing activities was RMB2,606.5 million in 2014. The increase was primarily due to the decrease in repayments of borrowings to third parties of RMB18,109.8 million, the effect of which was partially offset by the decrease in proceeds from borrowings from third parties of RMB18,035.5 million from 2014 to 2015,while our proceeds from borrowings from related parties decreased from RMB7,070.0 million in 2014 to RMB5,720.0 million in 2015 due to the reducing of demands on liquidity.
