III. MAJOR REASONS FOR ESTIMATED DECREASE IN THE RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD

In 2015, due to the factors such as the price of international crude oil has declined significantly and the price of domestic natural gas has been driven down, a relatively large reduction in the Company’s profit occurred.

Facing the sophisticated and severe operation situation, the Company insisted on steady development, exercised strict control over investment scale, implemented the strategy of low cost, optimized its production, operated on a market-oriented basis and promoted asset restructuring, which have achieved good results and effectively alleviated the adverse effects to Company’s results due to the decline of the price of oil and gas.

In 2016, the market of international oil and gas is expected to continue to slump, the market competition will be further intensified. The Company will actively implement the four strategies including resource, marketing, internationalization and innovation, actively implement measures for broadening sources of income and reducing expenditure as well as cutting costs and enhancing efficiency, and optimize its business layouts and asset structures in order to endeavour to bring continuing returns to all shareholders.

IV. OTHER MATTERS

The estimated results above are only preliminary calculation. Please refer to the 2015 annual results announcement and the 2015 annual report to be disclosed by the Company for specific and accurate financial data. Investors are reminded to exercise caution when making investment decisions.
