It's just my personally view of the inflation of China: trigged by pork &food, further elevated by PPI and other factors in global raw material,grain price boom. Generally, I am not so pessimistic as others in the pridiction of 2008's inflation trend.I am not saying that the 2008 inflation pressure in China will be lighten, but I just didn't feel it caused a large scare of price increase amony people when I was in China the last Dec. In my city, a middle sized city in China,everyone did realize the price change in the life necessaries,and maybe some people need to make some budget plan,but you can still see people crowded in the market,even those from disadvantaged background, with basket full as usual to prepare for a happy Chinese New Year. No any disorders.

Business Prospects: Looking forward in 2008, the global economy will hopefully maintain steady growth, and the Chinese economy will maintain its rapid growth momentum. These will continue to fuel the demand for oil and natural gas and petrochemical products. Government regulations will become more stringent. The public will be more concerned with changes in crude oil prices and stability in oil and gas supply. Confronted with complicated and ever changing external environments, and ever increasing market competition, the Group will seek new growth engines positively in order to achieve good and rapid business developments, and continue to implement the three main strategies in the areas of resources, marketing and internationalisation of operations.

Operational statistics for the month of February 2008 and the comparative figures for the previous month are as follows:

In recent years, international crude oil prices have been fluctuating at a high level, and the prices has surged substantially since the second half of 2007. The stringent control on the prices of domestic petroleum product in China has led to a distortion to the correlation in prices between crude oil and petroleum products. As part of non-state owned or controlled local refineries failed to operate in full capacity or even closed down because of the loss and there had been an increased consumption of diesel during the winter period in 2007, there were supply shortages of petroleum products in certain regional markets. In order to safeguard the stable operation of the petroleum product market, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation and its subsidiaries (including the Company) have adopted a variety of measures to safeguard the supply of petroleum products in the domestic market, achieving significant results. Accordingly
