petroleum products, petrochemical and organic chemical products, and synthetic
rubber.

1.    Results of operations

      Under PRC GAAP, revenue from principal operations of the Company and its
      subsidiaries (together, the "Group") during the six months ended 30th
      June, 2003 was RMB8,885.1 million, representing an increase of 108 per

      various measures to meet the criteria of "Act Promptly, Review Carefully,
      Commence Early and Begin Effectively" and set out various economic and
      technological targets. The Company enhanced its internal management
      through continuous strengthening of the supply, production and marketing
      of its products according to market demands, and made every effort to
      offset the adverse impact of SARS and price decrease in gasoline, diesel
      oil and petrochemical products in the second quarter. Through
      strengthening its production management and making timely decisions, the
      Company's major production facilities operated at full utilization rate
      and most of its products were sold at higher prices. During the reporting
      period, the Company made significant achievements such that the turnover,
      processing volume of crude oil and sales volume achieved the best results
      since the establishment of the Company. During the first half of 2003, the
      Company processed 2.76 million tons of crude oil and produced 290,000 tons
      of ethylene, representing an increase of 52 per cent and 32 per cent,

      950,000 tons of diesel oil, which were up by 86 per cent and 296 per cent,
      respectively, as compared with the same period of 2002. Sales volume for
      petroleum products, petrochemical and organic chemical products and
      synthetic rubber increased by 92 per cent, 41 per cent and 37 per cent,
      respectively, and weighted average prices increased by 37 per cent, 31 per
      cent and 13 per cent, respectively, as compared with the same period of
      2002.

3. Revenue and profit from principal operations

      During the six months ended 30th June, 2003, under PRC GAAP, turnover for
      petroleum products, which represented more than 10 per cent of the Group's
      turnover from its principal activities, was RMB4,324.8 million, accounting
      for 49 per cent of the Group's total turnover from its principal business.
      Cost of goods sold in respect of petroleum products was RMB3,943.9 million
      and the gross margin rate for petroleum products was 9 per cent. Turnover
      for petrochemical and organic chemical products was RMB3,957 million,
      accounting for 45 per cent of the Group's total turnover from its
      principal business. Cost of goods sold in respect of petrochemical and

                                              Management Discussion and Analysis
                                              ----------------------------------



2.    Under IFRS

      During the first half of 2003, the Group's turnover was approximately
      RMB9,282.9 million, representing an increase of 105 per cent as compared
      with the same period of 2002. The increase was mainly due to the increase
      in the production volume, sales volume and weighted average prices of the
      Group's major products.

      1)   Segment analysis

           (1)   Petroleum products

                 During the first six months ended 30th June, 2003, turnover for
                 petroleum products increased by 167 per cent to RMB4,021.3
                 million from RMB1,505.5 million for the same period in 2002,
                 and accounted for 43 percent of the Company's turnover as
                 compared with 33 per cent in the first half of 2002. Due to
                 factors including increases in international crude oil price,
                 the Company's crude oil processing capability and purchase of
                 crude oil from Russia, the processing volume of crude oil,
                 sales volume and weighted average prices of the Company
                 increased by 52 per cent, 92 per cent and 39 per cent,
                 respectively, as compared with the same period of 2002 (during
                 which a once-every-two-years overhaul was carried out) .

           (2)   Petrochemical and organic chemical products

                 Turnover for petrochemical and organic chemical products
                 increased by 81 per cent to RMB3,939.2 million from RMB2,173.5
                 million for the same period in 2002, and accounted for 42 per
                 cent of the Company's turnover. The increase of turnover was
                 mainly due to the increasing demands for the raw materials of
                 petrochemical products by downstream users, increase in market
                 price and the higher utilization rate of the Company's
                 production facilities. Compared with the corresponding period
                 of 2002 (during which a once-every-two-years overhaul was
                 carried out), the sales volume and weighted average prices of
                 these products increased by 41 per cent and 29 per cent,
                 respectively.

           (3)   Synthetic rubber

                 Turnover for synthetic rubber products increased by 54 per cent
                 to RMB533.8 million from RMB345.8 million for the same period
                 in 2002, and accounted for 6 percent of the Company's turnover.
                 The increase in turnover was mainly due to the growth of the
                 sales volume and weighted average price of these products by 37
                 per cent and 13 per cent respectively as compared with the same
                 period of 2002.

      2)   Cost and expenses

           Cost of sales increased by 100 per cent to RMB8,527.4 million in the
           first half of 2003 from RMB4,260 million for the same period in 2002.
           The increase in the cost of sales was mainly due to the increase in
           the sale volume of products, processing volume of crude oil and
           prices of crude oil and other raw materials, as well as the
           turnaround from loss by the Company and the increase in staff's
           salaries. In the first half of 2003, the Company was affected by an
           increase in the price of crude oil internationally to RMB1,898 per
           ton, representing an increase of 39 per cent from the same period in
           2002. The processing volume of crude oil increased by 52 per cent as
           compared with the same period of 2002.

                 JILIN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPANY LIMITED Interim Report 2003 9










Management Discussion and Analysis
- ----------------------------------



           Despite the increase of cost of sales, the Group's gross profit
           increased by 184 per cent as compared with the same period of 2002.
           This increase was mainly due to the significant increase of the
           Group's turnover.

           Selling expenses, administrative expenses and other expenses
           decreased by 10 per cent to RMB274.7 million in the first half of
           2003 from RMB304.9 million for the same period in 2002. This decrease
           was mainly due to the loss from the retirement of fixed assets of
           RMB110 million in the first half of 2002 and the provision for bad
           debts of RMB31.9 million during the reporting period.

           As a result of the above factors, the Group's operating profit
           increased to RMB480.8 million in the first half of 2003 from a loss
           of RMB39.1 million in the same period of 2002.

           Interest expense decreased by 13 per cent from RMB272.1 million in
           the first half of 2002 to RMB236.6 million in the first half of 2003.
           The decrease was mainly due to a refinancing of higher interest rate
           loans with lower interest rate loans.

           During the first half of 2003, the Group's net exchange loss was
           RMB8.1 million, as compared with a net exchange loss of RMB34.9
           million for the same period in 2002. The loss was mainly due to
           changes in exchange rate of the Company's foreign currency loans
           during the reporting period.

           The income from a jointly controlled entity and an associated company
           before taxation was RMB2.6 million in the first half of 2003, as
           compared with a loss of RMB4.9 million in the first half of 2002.
           This change was mainly due to profits generated by the jointly
           controlled entity.

           In accordance with PRC tax law, the Company has no income taxable so
           far as a result of the losses accumulated before the reporting
           period.

      3)   Liquidity and capital resources

           The Group depends upon the cash flow from its operations and bank
           loans to satisfy its ongoing liquidity and capital requirement.

           During the first half of 2003, net cash inflow from operating
           activities increased to RMB1,692.6 million from RMB261.4 million for
           the same period in 2002. The increase in net cash inflow was
           primarily due to profit generated in the first half of 2003 and
           strengthening funds control.

           Net cash outflow from investing activities decreased to RMB261.9
           million in the first half of 2003 from RMB502.3 million in the same
           period of 2002. The decrease was primarily due to reduced capital
           expenditures during the reporting period.

           Net cash outflow from financing activities in the first half of 2003
           was RMB1,447.2 million compared with a net cash inflow from financing
           activities of RMB235.1 million for the same period in 2002. The
           change was primarily due to the increase in the repayment of bank
           loans during the reporting period.

           capital and liquidity position on a regular basis and has always been
           able to satisfy its short term obligations through the refinancing of

           provided the Company with a loan facility of RMB8 billion for up to

           sufficient resources to meet its foreseeable working capital
           requirement. As at 30th June, 2003, the Group's gearing ratio was 56
           per cent, compared with 65 per cent as at 31st December, 2002.
           (Gearing ratio is the ratio between long term debt and the sum of

           representing a decrease of RMB843.6 million as compared with 31st
           December, 2002. These changes reflected the Group's stronger ability
           to repay bank loans to reduce the debt ratio as a result of profit
           generated during the reporting period and further improvement in its
           financial condition.

           The Group did not experience seasonal fluctuations in the demand of
           capital.

           Renminbi-denominated. Foreign currency-denominated long-term loans
           amounted to approximately RMB1,773 million, which were mainly related
           to the loan for the ethylene project. Foreign currencies include US
           dollar, Japanese Yen, and Euro. The Group's exchange rate risks also
           include exchange of foreign currencies to Renminbi for the payment of
           imported materials and equipment. Dividends of H shares shall be paid
           in foreign currency. The Company believes that the fluctuations in
           foreign exchange rates will have a significant impact on the Company.
           During the six months ended 30th June, 2003, the Group's foreign
           exchange loss was RMB8.08 million.

Management Discussion and Analysis
- ----------------------------------




           PROSPECTUS

           The Board expects the price of petrochemical products to remain at
           the current level in the second half of 2003 and the price of crude
           oil not to experience significant fluctuation. The Company will focus
           on the maintenance of safe and stable production operations; the
           improvement in the sourcing of major resources including domestic
           crude oil, Russian crude oil, residue and ethylene; the adjustment of
           product mix to ensure high utilization rate and sustained
           profitability; the speeding up in the implementation of plants
           upgrade so as to achieve cost and energy consumption reduction (for
           water, gas and electricity) to meet production targets. The Company
           will combine the business concepts where "sales shall be dependent on
           profitability; production shall be dependent on sales; efficient
           sales and profitability through sales". The Company will further
           strengthen its marketing and sales development of certain products
           such as EPR, AES, alcohol, ether and liquid ammonia with the aim of
           obtaining maximum economic benefits. The Company will enhance its
           materials purchasing system for crude oil and naphtha to ensure that
           materials are supplied in bulk at favourable rates and in a timely
           manner for production purposes. The Company will also strengthen the
           management of its funds through strict control over expenses and
           focus on adjusting and restructuring its loans and repay loans which
           bear higher interest rates. The Company will also seek to improve its
           financial budget and the economic analysis of its activities, and
           further control its costs through management at the work shifts,
           production plants and factories level.

           In the second half of 2003, on the premise that the price of crude
           oil will not increase significantly and the petrochemical market will
           not experience significant fluctuation, the Company, bearing in mind
           its tasks of turning around loss to achieve sustained profit and cost
           control, will make every effort to achieve profitability for the full
           year of 2003.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE, 2003

(Amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated)

1.    Accounting Policies

      The unaudited consolidated interim condensed financial statements are
      prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The
      accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated interim
      condensed financial statements are consistent with those used in the
      preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31st December,
      2002.

      Costs that incur unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or
      deferred in the interim report only if it would also be appropriate to
      anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the financial year.

      Income tax expense is recognised based on the best estimate of the
      weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial
      year. The estimated weighted average annual tax rate used for the
      six-month period from 1st January, 2003 to 30th June, 2003 is 33 per cent
      (the estimated weighted average tax rate used for the six-month period
      from 1st January, 2002 to 30th June, 2002 was 33 per cent).

      These unaudited consolidated interim condensed financial statements should
      be read in conjunction with the 2002 annual financial statements.

      The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year
      ending December 31, 2003.

In accordance with PRC tax regulations, tax losses can be carried forward for a
period of 5 years. As the recoverability of these tax losses is uncertain, the
resulting deferred tax benefit arising from these tax losses has not been
recognised in the financial statements.

There is no taxation charge as the Group has sufficient tax losses brought
forward to offset against any current taxable income for the period.

To the Shareholders of
Jilin Chemical Industrial Company Limited

We have accepted the appointment to audit the balance sheets of Jilin Chemical
Industrial Company Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as
at 30th June, 2003 and the profit and loss accounts, profit appropriation
statements and cash flow statements of the Company and the Group, respectively,
for the six months then ended. The Company's management is responsible for the
preparation of these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with China Certified Public Accountants'
Independent Auditing Standards. Those Standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements of the Group and Company present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and the
Group at 30th June, 2003 and their results of operations and cash flows for the
six months then ended in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises and the Accounting Systems for Business Enterprises of the People's
Republic of China.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
(All amounts are stated in Rmb Yuan unless otherwise stated)

I.    CORPORATE INFORMATION

      Jilin Chemical Industrial Company Limited (the "Company") was established
      in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") on December 13, 1994 as a
      joint stock limited company upon the restructuring of Jilin Chemical
      Industrial Corporation. The principal activities of the Company are the
      production and sale of petroleum products, petrochemical and organic
      chemical products, synthetic rubber products, chemical fertilizers and
      inorganic chemical products, and other related products, and the provision
      of related services.

      In accordance with the restructuring agreement, the Company issued
      2,396,300,000 state-owned shares with a par value of RMB1.00 each to Jilin
      Chemical Industrial Corporation to take over the assets and liabilities of
      the principal production units, certain ancillary functions and a
      subsidiary of Jilin Chemical Industrial Corporation. Jilin Chemical
      Industrial Corporation then changed its name to Jilin Chemical Group
      Corporation ("JCGC") and became the Company's immediate holding company.

      As a state-owned enterprise, JCGC was originally controlled and
      administered by Jilin provincial government, as well as supervised by the
      National Administration of Petroleum and Chemical Industries. According to
      the restructuring regulations promulgated by the State Council of the PRC,
      JCGC, together with certain oil fields and oil distribution companies,
      became wholly-owned subsidiaries of China National Petroleum Corporation
      ("CNPC") since July 1, 1998. Therefore, CNPC becomes the ultimate holding
      company of the Company through its control over JCGC. Since then, the
      Company has been receiving continuing support from CNPC for its working
      capital requirements. At the date of this report, China Petroleum Finance
      Company Limited ("CP Finance"), subsidiary of CNPC, has agreed to provide
      credit facilities of RMB8 billion to the Company (see Note V 13).

      In 1999, CNPC and its subsidiaries underwent a corporate restructuring
      (the "Corporate Restructuring"). According to the Corporate Restructuring,
      CNPC transferred the 2,396,300,000 state-owned shares of the Company owned
      by JCGC, together with certain assets and business undertakings of JCGC,
      to PetroChina Company Limited ("PetroChina"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
      CNPC established on November 5, 1999. Accordingly, PetroChina becomes the
      Company's immediate holding company.

- --------------------


II.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND BASIS OF
       PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


       1    Basis of preparation of the financial statements

            The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
            Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and the Accounting
            Systems for Business Enterprises and related regulations as
            promulgated by the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of
            China.

       2.   Accounting period

            The Group's accounting period starts on January 1 and ends on
            December 31.

       3.   Reporting currency

            The Group uses the Renminbi ("RMB") as its reporting currency.

       4.   Basis of accounting

            The Group uses the accrual method as its basis of accounting. Assets
            are recorded at their acquisition costs. Subsequently, if the assets
            are impaired, impairment provisions are made accordingly.

       5.   Foreign currency transactions

            Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
            RMB at the exchange rates stipulated by the People's Bank of China
            prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities
            denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are
            translated into RMB at the exchange rates stipulated by the People's
            Bank of China at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
            arising from these translations are taken to the profit and loss
            account, except for those relating to funds borrowed to finance the
            acquisition of fixed assets during the construction period which
            have been capitalized.

       6.   Cash and cash equivalents

            For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash refers to all
            cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks. Cash equivalents
            refer to short-term, highly liquid investments (with original
            maturities of 3 months or less) that are readily convertible into
            known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk
            of changes in value.

            Restricted cash, including time deposits with original maturities in
            excess of three months, and deposits that have been pledged are not
            included as cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statements.

       7.   Receivables and provision for bad debts

            Receivables refer to accounts receivable and other receivables.

            Provision for bad debts is made for possible bad debt losses using
            the "allowance method". Specific provisions are made based on a
            detailed review of the collectibility of the receivable balances.




- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
38 JILIN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPANY LIMITED Interim Report 2003










                                                            Financial Statements
                                                            --------------------


            Bad debts are recognized and accounts receivable are written off
            against the provision for bad debts where there is objective
            evidence (including liquidation, bankruptcy, negative equity, and
            significant cash flow problems of debtors, etc.) indicating that the
            accounts receivable are uncollectible.

       8.   Inventories

            Inventories, which comprise raw materials, work in progress,
            finished goods, low value consumables and packing materials, are
            stated at cost. The cost of raw materials used and the sale of
            finished goods are accounted for on the weighted average basis. The
            cost of low value consumables and packing materials are charged to
            production overhead expenditures upon usage. Finished goods and work
            in progress comprise raw materials, direct labor and an appropriate
            allocation of all indirect production overhead expenditures based on
            normal operating capacity.

            Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable
            value. Provision for loss on realization of inventories is made
            based on the excess of their original costs over their net
            realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling
            price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
            completion, selling expenses and related taxes.

       9.   Long-term investments

            Long-term investments represent investments in other enterprises
            that the Company intends to hold for more than one year.

            The cost of long-term investments is stated at the actual amount
            paid (or book value of invested assets) including related taxes.
            Investments in entities in which the Company owns not less than 20%
            of the voting rights, or owns less than 20% of the voting rights but
            in which the Company is in a position to exercise significant
            influence on the financial and operating policies, are accounted for
            using the equity method. Investments in entities in which the
            Company owns less than 20% of the voting rights, or owns more than
            20% of the voting rights but in which the Company has no significant
            influence on the financial and operating policies, are stated at
            cost.

            Entities accounted for using the equity method include subsidiaries,
            jointly controlled entities, and associated companies. Subsidiaries
            refer to those entities in which the Company directly or indirectly
            owns more than 50% of the voting rights, or owns less than 50% of
            the voting rights but has the power to govern their financial and
            operating policies and consequently is able to obtain benefits from
            the operating activities of these entities. Jointly controlled
            entities refer to entities which are jointly controlled by the
            Company and its joint venture partners. Associated companies refer
            to entities in which the Company has significant influence.

            When equity method is adopted for long-term equity investments, the
            difference between the original investment cost and the share of the
            invested company's net assets is recognized as "equity investment
            difference", which is amortized on the straight-line basis over 10
            years.

                JILIN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPANY LIMITED Interim Report 2003 39










Financial Statements
- --------------------



            Provision for diminution in value of long-term investments is made
            when the recoverable amount of the investments is lower than their
            carrying amount due to continuing decrease in their market prices or
            a deterioration in the invested companies' operations which are not
            expected to be recovered in the foreseeable future.

       10.  Fixed assets and depreciation

            Fixed assets refer to buildings, plant and equipment relating to the
            production and operation of the Company with useful lives of more
            than one year and individual cost of more than RMB2,000.

            Fixed assets purchased or constructed are recorded at cost, or at
            the appraised amount as approved by the state assets administration
            authorities pursuant to the Company's restructuring.

            Costs for major re-construction, extension and improvements of fixed
            assets are capitalized. Costs for repair and maintenance of fixed
            assets are expensed as incurred.

            Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated on the straight-line
            basis over the estimated useful lives, after taking into account
            their residual value. For those fixed assets against which provision
            for impairment has been made, the depreciation rates are determined
            based on the net book amounts of these assets and their remaining
            useful lives.

            The categories, estimated useful life, residual value and annual
            depreciation rate of fixed assets are as follows:



                                           Estimated            Estimated               Annual
                                         useful life       value residual    depreciation rate

                                                                    
            Buildings                 10 to 45 years                   3%         2.15-- 9.70%
            Plant and machinery       10 to 28 years                   3%         3.46-- 9.70%
            Equipment                  8 to 28 years                   3%         3.46--12.13%
            Motor vehicles                  12 years                   3%                8.00%


            Fixed assets are stated at the lower of the carrying amount and
            recoverable amount. An impairment provision, representing the excess
            of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount, is made when the
            economic benefits that the fixed assets can bring to the Group are
            negatively impacted. An impairment provision of the whole carrying
            amount is made when the fixed assets could not bring any economic
            benefits to the Group.

        11. Construction in progress

            Construction in progress represents capital assets under
            construction or installation and is stated at cost. Cost comprises
            original cost of equipment, construction cost, installation cost,
            other direct costs including borrowing costs on specific loans to
            finance the capital assets before they reach usable condition.
            Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when it has
            reached its expected usable condition.

                                                            Financial Statements
                                                            --------------------



            An impairment provision, based on the excess of the carrying amount
            over the recoverable amount, is made when the construction in
            progress has been discontinued for a long period of time and is not
            expected to restart in the foreseeable future, or the construction
            project has become functionally or technologically obsolete, and an
            uncertainty exists as to whether the project can bring future
            economic benefits to the Group.

       12.  Borrowing costs

            Borrowing costs including interest incurred, amortization of
            discounts or premiums, ancillary costs incurred, and exchange
            differences in connection with specific borrowings pertaining to the
            acquisition or construction of fixed assets are capitalized as part
            of the cost of the fixed assets if the capital expenditures and
            borrowing costs have been incurred; and the activities that are
            necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have been
            commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the fixed
            assets have reached their expected usable condition. Borrowing costs
            incurred thereafter are recognized as expenses in the period in
            which they are incurred.

            The amount of interest costs capitalized is determined based on the
            cumulative expenditures incurred for the acquisition or construction
            of a fixed asset and the weighted average interest rate, and is
            limited to the actual amount of interest incurred on the specific
            borrowings during the period. Exchange differences and ancillary
            costs arising from specific borrowings are capitalized based on the
            actual amounts incurred.

            All other borrowing costs are recorded as financial expenses as
            incurred.

       13.  Intangible assets and amortization

            Intangible assets include land use rights and technical know-how.

            Land use rights are stated at acquisition cost, or at the appraised
            amount as approved by the state assets administration authorities
            pursuant to the Group's restructuring. Land use rights are amortized
            using the straight-line method over a period of 50 years.

            Commencing January 1, 2001, the cost of land use rights purchased or
            obtained by way of payment of a land use fee is stated at the actual
            amount paid and is recorded as intangible assets. The carrying value
            of land use rights will be transferred to construction in progress
            when the land is developed for self-use projects.

            Technical know-how represents the purchased cost of technical
            know-how relating to certain production facilities. The costs of
            know-how are included as part of the total contract price of the
            construction contract and are distinguishable. They are amortized
            using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life
            starting from the date when the underlying facilities are completed
            and ready for their intended use.

            An impairment provision, representing the excess of the carrying
            amount over the recoverable amount, is made when the economic
            benefits that the intangible assets can bring to the Group are
            negatively impacted. An impairment provision of the whole carrying
            amount is made when the intangible assets could not bring any
            economic benefits to the Group.

       14.  Long-term deferred expenses

            Long-term deferred expenses refer to those expenses which have been
            paid and should be amortized over one year (not including one year)
            and mainly include catalyst. Long-term deferred expenses are
            amortized on the straight-line basis over the beneficial period.

            The unamortized balance of deferred expenses is expensed when the
            project can no longer bring any economic benefits to the Group.

       15.  Provisions

            Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as
            a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources
            embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
            obligation, and a reliable estimate of the related amount can be
            made.

       16.  Employee social security benefits

            The Group participates in employee social security plans, including
            pension, medical, housing and other welfare benefits, organized by
            government authorities in accordance with relevant regulations.
            Except for the above social security benefits, the Group has no
            other material commitment with respect to employee welfare benefits.

            According to the relevant regulations, premium and welfare benefit
            contributions accrued and remitted to the social welfare authorities
            are calculated based on percentages of the total salaries of
            employees, subject to certain ceilings. Contributions to the plans
            are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.

       17.  Revenue recognition

            Sales--

            Sales are recognized when the significant risk and rewards of
            ownership of products are transferred to the buyer; the Group
            retains neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective
            control over the products; the economic benefits arising from the
            transaction can flow into the Group; and the related cost and
            revenue can be reliably measured.

            Cash discounts are recorded as financial expenses when incurred.
            Sales discounts are netted off against sales when incurred.

            Service income--

            Service income is recognized when services are rendered and
            completed in the same accounting period. For services started in one
            year and completed in the following year, revenue is recognized
            using the percentage of completion method at the balance sheet date
            if the outcome of the service transaction can be reliably estimated.

                                                            --------------------



            Other revenues are recognized on the following bases:

            Interest income--

            recognized on a time proportion basis based on the amounts deposited
            and the effective yield;

            Subsidy income--

            recognized when received.

       18.  Accounting for income tax

            The Group accounts for enterprise and local income taxes using the
            liability method under the deferred tax method. Cumulative income
            taxes at the end of each period are adjusted by applying the
            currently enacted tax rates on timing differences.

            Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
            probable that taxable income will be available against which timing
            differences can be utilized in the near future. Other timing
            differences are treated as permanent differences.

       19.  Basis of consolidation

            Consolidated financial statements include the financial statements
            of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and are prepared in
            accordance with the circular (1995) No. 11 "Provisional Regulations
            on Consolidated Financial Statements" and other relevant regulations
            issued by the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China.

            The Company starts to consolidate the revenue, cost and profit of
            its subsidiaries from the date it acquires effective control of the
            subsidiaries; and ceases to consolidate from the date effective
            control is lost. All material transactions, balances and unrealized
            profits between the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have
            been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
            Minority interests in the consolidated financial statements refer to
            the portion of the consolidated subsidiaries' equity that the Group
            does not own.

            In the event that the accounting policies of the consolidated
            subsidiaries are not consistent with those of the Company, and the
            difference caused by the inconsistency has a significant impact on
            the consolidated financial statements, adjustment is made to ensure
            compliance with the Company's accounting policies.

            In accordance with the circular (1996) No. 2 "Comments on the
            Consolidation Scope for the Purpose of Consolidated Financial
            Statements", subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities whose
            revenue is below 10% of that of the Company, total assets below 10%
            of those of the Company and total profit below 10% of that of the
            Company are not consolidated.

46   JILIN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPANY LIMITED   Interim Report 2003







                                                           Financial Statements
                                                           --------------------

            There was no significant write-off of accounts receivable for the
            six months ended June 30, 2003 (six months ended June 30, 2002:
            nil).

      (b)   Except for the receivables due from PetroChina Group Companies as
            disclosed in Note VII (g), there are no balances due from
            shareholders who hold more than 5% (including 5%) of the shares of
            the Company included in accounts receivable.

      (c)   At June 30, 2003, the total balance of the five largest accounts
            receivable was RMB681,345,191, representing 46% of the total
            accounts receivable balance.

      (d)   The Group's provisioning policy for doubtful debts is based on a
            detailed review of the collectibility of the receivable balances at
            period end. This provisioning policy and the basis for recognition
            of receivables have been consistently applied. At June 30, 2003,
            accounts receivable aged over 3 years which have not been provided
            for mainly comprise receivables due from JCGC of RMB146.79 million
            and third party debtors of RMB127 million, respectively. Based on a
            detailed review of the collectibility of the above unprovided
            receivable balances at June 30, 2003, management considers that
            there has been no change in the assessment results from prior years
            as these debtors are under stable operation status, have good
            historical repayment records and have complied with the debt
            repayment schedules as agreed with the Group. Accordingly, no
            provision is required.

      Directors, the Company is required to transfer 10% of each year's net
      profit (after netting off prior years' losses) to the statutory common
      reserve fund until the fund balance reaches 50% of the registered share
      capital after which the transfer may cease. Upon approval by the relevant
      authorities, this reserve can be used to make up losses or to increase
      share capital. Other than using the reserve to make up losses, the balance
      remaining after the use of this reserve to increase capital should not be
      less than 25% of the registered share capital.

      In addition, the Company is required to transfer 5% to 10% of each year's
      net profit (after netting off prior years' losses) to the statutory common
      welfare fund. This reserve can only be used for employees' collective
      welfare benefits and is not available for distribution to shareholders.
      When the funds from the statutory common welfare fund are utilized, the
      amount utilized is transferred from this fund to the discretionary common
      reserve fund. The amount utilized is either capitalized as assets or
      expensed.

      The Board of Directors may propose, subject to the approval of the
      shareholders' general meeting, the transfer to the discretionary common
      reserve fund. Upon obtaining the relevant approvals, this reserve can be
      used to make up prior years' losses or to increase share capital.

            There was no significant write-off of accounts receivable for the
            six months ended June 30, 2003 (six months ended June 30, 2002:
            nil).

      (b)   Except for the receivables due from PetroChina Group Companies as
            disclosed in Note VII (g), there are no balances due from
            shareholders who hold more than 5% (including 5%) of the shares of
            the Company included in accounts receivable.

      (c)   At June 30, 2003, the total balance of the five largest accounts
            receivable was RMB681,345,191, representing 44% of the total
            accounts receivable balance.

      (d)   The Company's provisioning policy for doubtful debts is based on a
            detailed review of the collectibility of the receivable balances at
            period end. This provisioning policy and the basis for recognition
            of receivables have been consistently applied. At June 30, 2003,
            accounts receivable aged over 3 years which have not been provided
            for mainly comprise receivables due from JCGC of RMB146.79 million
            and third party debtors of RMB127 million, respectively. Based on a
            detailed review of the collectibility of the above unprovided
            receivable balances at June 30, 2003, management considers that
            there has been no change in the assessment results from prior years
            as these debtors are under stable operation status, have good
            historical repayment records and have complied with the debt
            repayment schedules as agreed with the Company. Accordingly, no
            provision is required.

      (1)   Before December 2002, Jilian (Jilin) Petrochemicals Limited
            ("Jilian") was jointly controlled by the Company and the other joint
            venture partner. Therefore, Jilian was a jointly controlled entity
            of the Company. According to the share transfer agreement between
            the Company and the foreign investor of Jilian signed on August 30,
            2002, the Company acquired the 35% equity interest owned by the
            foreign investor at a consideration of RMB135 million. The Company
            applied for the cancellation of the business license of Jilian which
            was approved on December 26, 2002. Since then, Jilian was no longer
            an independent entity and became a branch of the Company.

      Securities Regulatory Commission and the Exchange. Resumption of trading
      will depend on a number of factors including but not limited to the
      Company's profitability in the first half year of 2003.

Shareholders' equity as reported under IFRS                      2,325,790        2,082,947
                                                                 =========        =========



(i)   In connection with the application for listing of the Company's shares on
      The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Company engaged American
      Appraisal Hong Kong Limited, independent valuers in Hong Kong, to perform
      a valuation of all of the Group's fixed assets as of February 28, 1995.
      The valuation resulted in a surplus of RMB29,033. The surplus arising from
      the valuation was credited to revaluation reserve. Depreciation expense
      under IFRS includes the effect of revaluation of fixed assets at
      February 28, 1995. Under PRC GAAP, this revaluation, which was not
      officially approved as part of the 1994 Restructuring, was not recognised.
      Accordingly, depreciation charge calculated under PRC GAAP is lower than
      that under IFRS.

(ii)  In prior years, certain fixed assets including those revalued at
      February 28, 1995 were written off in connection with the shut down of
      manufacturing assets. As the effect of the February 28, 1995 has not been
      recognised under PRC GAAP, additional loss on write-off of fixed assets
      relating to the surplus arising from the February 28, 1995 revaluation was
      recorded in the IFRS financial statements.

(iii) Under IFRS, foreign currency translation differences relating to
      borrowings to the extent that they are adjustments to the interest costs
      of funds used to finance the construction of fixed assets are capitalised.
      Under PRC GAAP, all foreign currency translation differences relating to
      funds borrowed to finance the construction of fixed assets are capitalised
      during the construction period. Accordingly, the cost of the underlying
      fixed assets as reported in the IFRS financial statements is greater than
      that as determined under PRC GAAP, and thus resulted in additional
      depreciation charge.

(iv)  In 2002, a subsidiary of the Company (a Sino-foreign joint venture) made
      an appropriation from retained earnings to the staff and workers' bonus
      and welfare fund in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations in
      the PRC. Under IFRS, such appropriation is charged to the profit and loss
      account.

(v)   As a result of the reorganisation of CNPC and PetroChina, PetroChina
      agreed to bear the cost of housing subsidy and accordingly the relevant
      payable to JCGC of RMB84,089, after netting off deferred tax of RMB23,587,
      was credited to capital reserve under IFRS. Under PRC GAAP, the payable of
      RMB84,089 was offset against housing subsidy cost brought forward of
      RMB75,681 and the balance of RMB8,408 was credited to capital reserve.
      Consequently, there is no amortisation of housing subsidy cost under PRC
      GAAP.

(vi)  Under PRC GAAP, land use rights are recognised at the appraised value and
      amortised over 50 years. With effect from January 1, 2001, the Company has
      applied IAS 17 " Leases", as clarified by IAS 40 "Investment Property", to
      the accounting for land use rights. The Company has therefore reclassified
      land use rights as operating leases and is now reflecting the carrying
      value of land use rights at historical cost of RMB nil. Consequently,
      there is no amortisation of land use rights under IFRS commencing 2001.

(vii) Adjustment of deferred tax effect in (i) and (v) above.

(i)   Revaluation of fixed assets

      On September 30, 1994, the fixed assets transferred to the Company by
      Jilin Chemical Industrial Corporation as part of the Restructuring were
      appraised, as required by the relevant PRC regulations, by a firm of
      independent valuers registered in the PRC. The revaluation of the fixed
      assets transferred resulted in RMB714,974 in excess of the prior carrying
      value and was recorded in share capital and capital reserve and not as a
      revaluation reserve. The depreciation charge on the revaluation surplus
      for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was RMB4,885 (2002: RMB4,160),
      including the depreciation charge of RMB3,815 on the revaluation surplus
      of Jilian (previously a jointly controlled entity of the Company)
      reclassified since 2003 as a result of the Company's acquisition of the
      remaining 35% equity interest in Jilian in December 2002. For purposes of
      reconciling to the US GAAP financial data, the effect of the revaluation
      and the related depreciation charge is reversed. A deferred tax asset of
      RMB235,941 (2002: RMB235,941) relating to the reversal of the revaluation
      effect was established, together with a corresponding increase in
      shareholders' equity.

      On February 28, 1995, the Group's fixed assets were further revalued by a
      firm of independent valuers registered in Hong Kong to satisfy the Hong
      Kong Stock Exchange listing requirements. This revaluation, which resulted
      in an additional revaluation surplus of RMB29,033, was not recognised by
      the PRC authorities and was therefore not recorded in the statutory
      accounting books. A deferred tax liability of RMB9,580 was created under
      IFRS with a corresponding decrease in revaluation surplus. The
      depreciation charge on the revaluation surplus for the six months ended
      June 30, 2003 was RMB726 (2002: RMB726). For purposes of reconciling to
      the US GAAP financial data, the revaluation surplus, the related
      depreciation charge and the tax effect are reversed.

      In prior years, certain fixed assets with a net book value of RMB283,418
      (RMB2,526 related to revaluation surplus recorded in share capital and
      capital reserve) were written off as a charge to the income statement in
      connection with the shut down of manufacturing assets. For purposes of
      reconciling to the US GAAP financial data, the effect of the revaluation
      relating to the write-off of fixed assets is reversed.

      As at December 31, 2002, the directors of the Company compared the
      carrying amount of the Group's property, plant and equipment to their
      estimate of its fair value, and on the basis of this review, made an
      adjustment to reduce the carrying amount by RMB323,844. Under IFRS, the
      adjustment arising from the comparison, net of minority interests of
      RMB1,604, amounting to RMB322,240 was charged to the income statement. For
      purposes of reconciling to the US GAAP financial data, the write-down
      adjustment is reversed since the related undiscounted cash flows
      adequately recover the carrying value of these assets despite a decrease
      in fair value.

(ii)  Foreign exchange losses

      Under US GAAP, foreign exchange losses are expensed in the period in which
      they occur.

      Under IFRS, the Group capitalised foreign currency translation difference
      relating to borrowings to the extent that these are adjustments to the
      interest costs of funds used to finance the construction of fixed assets
      during the period of construction. For purposes of reconciling to the US
      GAAP financial data, the effect of the capitalised foreign currency
      translation difference and the related depreciation charge is reversed.

(iii) Fixed assets transferred to Jilian

      During the period ended December 31, 1994, certain fixed assets of the
      Company were appraised and transferred to Jilian, which was 65% owned and
      jointly controlled by the Company prior to December 2002 when the Company
      acquired the 35% minority interest. At the time of the 1994 transfer, the
      Company retained 65% of revaluation surplus arising from the appraisal of
      these assets which amounted to RMB121,309 within the revaluation reserve
      and recognized a gain of RMB65,320, representing 35% of revaluation
      surplus, from the transfer to the other joint venture partner of a 35%
      interest in the fixed assets. The depreciation charge on the revaluation
      surplus related to these assets for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was
      RMB3,815 (2002: RMB3,815). For purposes of reconciling to the US GAAP
      financial data, the effect of the revaluation, the related depreciation
      charge and the gain on the transfer is reversed. In addition, as the
      Company acquired the remaining 35% equity interest in Jilian in December
      2002, Jilian has become a branch of the Company. Therefore, since 2003,
      the reversed depreciation charge on the revaluation surplus for Jilian's
      fixed assets has been included in the Company's depreciation charge on
      fixed assets due to revaluation on Restructuring and at February 28, 1995
      for the reconciliation to US GAAP.

(iv)  Tax adjustment

      As there is uncertainty as to whether the deferred tax asset established
      in (i) above can be fully realised, a valuation allowance for the deferred
      tax asset is made.

(v)   Amounts in Renminbi have been converted into United States dollars at the
      respective rates of US$1.00: RMB8.2774 announced by the People's Bank of
      China as at June 30, 2003. No representation is made that the Renminbi
      amounts could have been, or could be converted into US dollars at that
      rate.
