In 2023, economics in the China achieved steady growth against the backdrop of a
faltering global economic recovery and intensifying international geopolitical conflicts.
According to the National Bureau of Statistic, China’s gross domestic growth (GDP)
grew by 5.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) in 2023, and total retail sales of consumer goods for
the year increased by 7.2% y-o-y. Focusing on the chemical industry, the boom in the
chemical industry was first depressed and then rose in the first three quarters of 2023,
before falling back to the median level for the year in the fourth quarter. As of 29
December 2023, China chemical product price index was 4,635, lower than the median
value of 4,696 and the average value of 4,657 in the past ten years, still at the low level
of the industry cycle.

1. Refining and petrochemical industry


In 2023, under the geopolitics, the expectation of interest rate hike in the United States,
production cuts by major crude oil producers, banking crisis and other factors, the Brent
crude oil futures price is generally running in the range of 70-95 US dollars per barrel,
and the overall trend is wide oscillation.

Data sources: CCF


(1) Southeast Asia refined oil market demand gap is large; supply tension situation
is difficult to improve in the short term


IEA reporting refers to Asia remains an important region dominating oil demand. From
the demand side, Southeast Asia has richer oil and gas resources, but due to the shortage
of infrastructure investment, instead of becoming the largest net import market of
refined oil in the world, besides, Australian also need import refined oil. In addition,
the implementation of the new IMO standard in 2020, a greater impact on the global
shipping industry, Singapore as a major shipping base, bunker fuel sulphur content of
shipping fuel is mandatory restrictions, some MGO (marine diesel) need to replace
marine fuel oil, stock replacement space release, Southeast Asia diesel demand is
expected to continue to increase.


According to the latest forecast released by the International Monetary Fund in January
2024, ASEAN's GDP growth rate in 2024 will remain high, of which Indonesia is
expected to grow at a rate of 5.0%, and the Philippines is expected to grow at a rate of
6.0%, which is still significantly higher than the global level, and the favourable trend
of the economic expectations may further drive the growth of demand for refined
chemical products.


From the supply side, compared with the surplus state of domestic refined oil supply,
the gap in the Southeast Asian refined oil market is larger, with an overall surplus of
supply over demand. According to Platts data, from 2020 to 2023, more than 30 million
tons of refining capacity in Southeast Asia and Australia will be withdrawn from the
market due to public health events and energy structure transformation. Some refineries
in Southeast Asia are still facing challenges such as early construction of equipment,
outdated technology, poor management, and heavy government subsidies burden.

                                            21
                                     2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


Additionally, with the tightening of global environmental protection policies, refineries
are reluctant to expand production, and capital expenditure plans are becoming more
cautious. Refiners and chemical companies are also hesitant to increase production,
further limiting the future growth of refinery capacity. According to the IEA forecast,
the refining capacity in Southeast Asia is expected to remain unchanged until 2028.


(2) Refinery earnings expected to rise as refined oilcrack spreads remain high in
Singapore market


As a benchmark for refinery profitability in Southeast Asia, looking at the refinedoil
cracking spread in the Singapore market from 2022 to the present, in 2022, the refined
oil cracking spread fluctuated significantly due to multiple factors such as geopolitical
tensions, drastic fluctuations in crude oil prices, and weak downstream demand. In
2023, the reshaped global refined oil market supply and demand structure, influenced
by geopolitical factors, remained relatively stable, resulting in a reduced amplitude of
the refined oil cracking spread. There was a noticeable boost starting in the second
quarter. Since 2024, the refined oil cracking spread in Singapore has remained at high
levels, indicating the potential for sustained and robust improvement in refinery
profitability in Brunei.

2. PTA industry


PTA is one of the important bulk organic raw materials, widely used in various aspects
of the national economy such as chemical fibers, light industry, electronics, and
construction. 95% of domestic PTA demand is used in the polyester industry. China
now dominates the worldwide PTA market since it is the largest producer and consumer
of PTA worldwide because to its ongoing improvement of PTA independent production
capacity.


The CCF statistics shows that in 2023 China's actual new PTA capacity expanded by
10 million tons, with a capacity growth rate that dropped from 18.5% in 2020 to 12.8%
in 2023. CCF anticipated that in 2024 China's PTA capacity commissioning would
continue to slow down and that the rate of capacity expansion would drop to 6%.


Furthermore, PTA exports are increasing consistently and China's market share in the
world PTA market has progressively grown. Chinese PTA capacity accounted for
almost 76% of Asian PTA output in 2023; the foreign PTA sector did not add any new
units. China's PTA capacity will continue to rise in the future years, accounting for the
percentage of Asia and the world. The demand for polyester goods is really high in
overseas markets such Bangladesh, Turkey, and other nations; China's PTA exports are
still rising.


3. Polyester industry


Polyester fibres are mainly used in clothing, home textiles and technical textiles, etc.
The development of the industry is closely related to the downstream demand of the
textile and chemical fibre industry.

                                      2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


(1) The downstream demand outlook has significantly improved, driving a steady
release of demand for polyester products.


The domestic economy steadily recovered in 2023, and the textile and apparel
industries' boom much improved, propelling polyester market production and sales and
exhibiting strong development against the backdrop of a slowing down of crude oil
price swings. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China's retail sales of
consumer goods overall increased by 7.2% year over year in 2023, up 7.4 percentage
points from the prior year; retail sales of clothing, shoes, hats and textile goods in China
increased by 12.9% year over year, up 19.4 percentage points from the prior year.
Expanding, there was a clear marginal comeback trend in China's retail sales of textiles,
needles, headgear, clothes, and footwear in the second half of 2023. The demand is
continuing maintaining a better trend, demonstrating a strong momentum of recovery,
and the chain growth rate has been growing positively since August, particularly in
November when it reached a new record high of 24 percent. Exports in 2023 are little
less than in 2022 because of the sluggish recovery of the world economy, geopolitics,
supply chain adjustment, and other factors influencing the total export volume of
textiles and apparel. China's cumulative textile and apparel exports in 2023 were
US$293.64 billion, down 8.1 percent from the same time last year, but the total value
remains high and the export volume is still higher than in 2019. The development of
China's textile and garment industries still heavily depends on the international market.

(3) Outdated production capacity continues to be eliminated and the competitive
landscape is further optimized


While demand continues to pick up, industry concentration on the supply side is
expected to further increase, with the competitiveness of leading companies highlighted.
According to CCF statistics, in 2023, some factories or installations have been clearly
withdrawn, and the annual polyester fully drawn yarn production capacity withdrawal
totalled 1.01 million tons. The industry device old and backward, lack of technological
innovation ability of the plant, the future will gradually withdraw from the industry
competition, backward capacity clearance may speed up. In addition, along with the
dual-carbon policy and equipment supply requirements continue to improve, the
threshold of entry into the industry will be further increased, polyester industry market
concentration will continue to be optimised. At the same time, the company as an
industry leader, with obvious technological innovation and scale advantages, with
strong market competitiveness, operating efficiency is expected to improve.

(4) Upstream raw material supply tends to loosen; profit is expected to shift to the
downstream polyester side


Important raw materials for the polyester industry mainly include paraxylene (PX),
purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and ethylene glycol (MEG). For many years, China's
PX is highly dependent on imports, and its independent production capacity is limited,
while in recent years, along with the integrated construction of the domestic chemical
fibre industry chain and technological breakthroughs, the domestic PX production
capacity has been gradually enhanced, and according to CCF statistics, the domestic
PX production capacity in 2023 will be 43.67 million tons, a year-on-year increase of
21.4%. Accompanied by the continuous improvement of production capacity, the
domestic PX import dependence is reduced from 50% in 2019 to 21.3% in 2023.

(III) Industry position of the company’s three major businesses


1. Refining and petrochemical segment


As a unique overseas refinery operator among private large refineries, the company has
successfully built the largest single overseas project among private enterprises in terms
of investment. In the future, along with the completion and commissioning of the phase
II of the company's Brunei project, the company is expected to usher in new
development opportunities.


According to Platts data, as of 31 December 2023, Southeast Asia's refining capacity
will be approximately 271 million tons, in line with 2022. As the profitability of refined
products continues to trend better in 2023, there is no exit capacity, but it is still lower
than the 278 million tons in 2020, with the phase I of the Hengyi Brunei project

(II) Operation model


1. Procurement model


The Company mainly purchases raw materials through direct negotiation with
manufacturers or traders. It selects competitive suppliers to establish long-term and
stable cooperative relations, on the basis of which it decides the transaction price
according to market conditions. The Company adopts a centralized procurement
strategy, integrating resources from Brunei and domestic operating suppliers and
increasing resource sharing efforts, so as to enhance the Company's own bargaining

                                           37
                                    2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


power.


The raw materials required for production of the Company are mainly purchased from
major petrochemical products and crude oil suppliers at home and abroad. When
selecting raw material suppliers, the Company first considers the quality of their
products and the stability of supply. While ensuring the above, the Company will also
give priority to suppliers with competitive prices to reduce production costs. The
Company will sign annual supply contracts with major suppliers, regarding the supply
in the relevant year of their products to the Company in accordance with international
or domestic market prices at the time of actual supply as per the quantity agreed in the
contracts. The main procurement process for auxiliary materials is basically the same
as that for raw materials.


2. Production model


For polyester products, the Company arranges production mainly according to the
production plan formulated in advance. In specific implementation, the annual
production plan will be subdivided into monthly production plan, and then the
Production Department will make necessary adjustments to the monthly production
plan according to the market feedback and change information provided by the Sales
Department before finalizing the monthly production plan and arranging production.


The Company's refined oil and chemical products (PX, benzene, etc.) are mainly
produced by Hengyi Brunei. Usually, it will adjust the process and parameters to control
the output of specific products, such as refinedoil and chemical products, according to
the market demand.

                                    2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


The Company's PTA products are mainly produced by Zhejiang Yisheng. Usually, it
will adjust the load level of production unit to control PTA output according to the
market demand.


3. Sales model


The Company’s refined oils are mainly sold to Brunei, other Southeast Asian countries
and Australia. PTA and polyester products are mainly sold in the domestic market,
covering more than 20 provinces and regions in China. Most products are sold directly
to customers through the Company's Sales Department, and only a small number of
products are sold through distributors.


(1) Sales model of refined oil and chemical products (PX, benzene, etc.)


The Company's refined oil and chemical products are mainly produced by Hengyi
Brunei. Among them, the main customers of chemical products are PTA manufacturers
downstream of the Company's industry chain, and the settlement mode usually adopts
wire transfer and letter of credit, etc. Refined oil is mainly sold to Brunei, other
Southeast Asian countries and Australia. When selling to local enterprises in Brunei,
the Company usually signs sales contracts directly and the settlement mode is letter of
credit. The Company's sales to other Southeast Asian countries and Australia are mainly
through Singapore Commodity Exchange. Sales contracts are directly entered into with
customers and the settlement mode is letter of credit.


(2) Sales model of PTA products


The Company’s PTA products are generally sold by direct sales, that is, the Company
will directly sign purchase and sale contracts with downstream polyester manufacturers
or large traders, agreeing on the purchase quantity and price within a certain period.

                                           39
                                        2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


After receiving the payment for goods from customers, the products are delivered
directly from the Company's warehouse. The settlement mode for sales of PTA products
is “payment before delivery”, or “collect on delivery”, usually by wire transfer,
acceptance draft or letter of credit.


(3) Sales model of polyester fibre products


The main customers of the Company's polyester fibre products are textile enterprises,
including elastomer enterprises,          garment    fabric manufacturers, bag fabric
manufacturers, home decoration fabric manufacturers, etc. These customers are mainly
concentrated in the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as well as Shanghai. The Company
generally adopts direct sales, and directly concludes sales contracts with customers.
The settlement mode is usually “payment before delivery”, or “collect on delivery”.


4. Business model of supply chain service business


The company’s supply chain service business mainly includes trade business and
supporting logistics related services.


(1) Trading business


Petrochemical industry is a cyclical industry. On the one hand, the supply side of raw
materials is susceptible to factors such as upstream suppliers' production capacity,
operation stability of the plant and start-up time of the new plant. On the demand side,
especially in the downstream polyester business, sales have typical seasonal
characteristics. Meanwhile, chemical raw materials and finished products are very
dependent on the stability of port facilities and international logistics transportation. On
the other hand, the prices of products in the petrochemical industry chain are affected
by the price of terminal crude oil, showing wide fluctuations. Therefore, in order to

                                              40
                                     2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


ensure production and operation, strengthen supply chain stability and reduce the risk
of price fluctuation, petrochemical enterprises need to smooth supply and demand and
hedge risks through trade business in procurement and sales.


The company has never carried out trade in products unrelated to its main business,
insisting on the principle of positioning trade business to serve the main business, and
trading varieties around the main business and core products. Among them, crude oil,
refined oil and other oil products are the main raw materials and products of Brunei
project of the company, PX is the raw material of the company's main product PTA,
PTA and MEG are the main raw materials of the company's polyester products. The
above trading business is conducive to the Company's access to spot market
information and revenue through trading, as well as the Company's need for inventory
management of raw materials and products, which can stabilize the supply chain and
hedge against the risk of price fluctuations.


(2) Logistics warehousing and other operations


The company's logistics segment provides raw material and product transport services
for the upstream and downstream industries of Hengyi Petrochemical. Its business
covers raw material transport, product transport, foreign trade transport and
international transport, etc. The company is deeply engaged in the domestic market and
is gradually moving towards the overseas market, and its business scope involves
international sea transport and land transport. Its main business model is raw material
transport, product transport, foreign trade transport and international transport and other
logistics services.

3. Polyester esterification polycondensation process
In the process of polyester esterification, the raw material PTA, ethylene glycol and
catalyst solution are continuously sent into the slurry preparation tank according to the
specified proportion. After they enter the esterification reactor, the esterification rate
can reach about 95%-96% by controlling the reaction temperature at an appropriate
level. By means of gear pump discharging and pressurization, the polyester melt
produced from esterified materials after Polycondensation and final polycondensation
is filtered by melt filter, and is distributed through a specially designed melt distribution
system. Part of it is sent to the spinning device for melt direct spinning, and the other
part is sent to the flake production system for ribbon casting and pelletizing. The
specific flow chart of polyester esterification, polycondensation and other reactions is
as follows:

4. Production flow of POY/FDY
The production process of POY and that of FDY are basically the same. The polyester
melt is connected and transported to the device from the outlet of the melt distribution
valve of the polyester device, and then is divided into two systems through the melt
three-way valve. On the way, it is pressurized by the melt booster pump, and then sent
to the melt distribution valve after cooling-down by the melt cooler. The polyester melt
from the melt distribution system enters the spinning chamber insulated by steam phase
heat medium at a certain temperature and is delivered to the spinning assembly after
metering by a metering pump. The melt pipe is equipped with a freezing valve to ensure
that the spinning position can be independently started and stopped. After the melt is
filtered and pressed by the filter layer again in the spinning assembly, it is ejected from
the spinneret in a thin stream and solidified into yarns under the condition of constant
temperature and humidity. The yarn is oiled by the tanker, and then through the network
nozzles, it is rolled into a yarn tube in the winding machine. POY and FDY products
were prepared under highspeed winding ranging from 2,500m/min to 5,100m/min.

6. Production flow of staple fibre


Polyester staple fibre is a kind of fibre that is transported to the spinning machine
through melt, spun into shape, cut into fibres of different lengths after drafting,
crimping and heat setting, and then packed into individual packages. The main process
includes melt conveying, spinning, cooling, winding, tube falling, bundling, drafting,
tension heat setting, folding, crimping, cutting and packing.




7. Production flow of bottle flakes

                                    2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


The production process of bottle flakes, i.e. bottle grade flakes, is composed of two
parts: melt polymerization + solid phase polymerization. The main process of melt
polymerization consists of pulping, esterification, polycondensation, and dicing, and is
basically the same as that of fibre polymerization. The difference lies in that IPA,
stabilizer and toner are added in the formula of bottle flakes. The main process of solid
phase polymerization is crystallization, preheating, reaction, and cooling.




(IV) Highlights of company’s operations during the reporting period


In 2023, against the background of steady growth in the domestic economy and the
continued rebound in demand from the downstream textile and apparel industries where
the Company operates, the Board of Directors and the management of HYPC insisted
on innovation as the leader, technology as the foundation, and quality and efficiency

Reasons for the significant change in the prices of raw materials compared with
the previous period
During the reporting period, there were significant changes in the prices of the
Company's raw materials compared to the previous reporting period, mainly due to
higher interest rates as a result of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, as well as
slower growth in downstream demand and weaker upstream investment as a result of
geopolitical turmoil. Crude oil prices were constrained by macroeconomic pressures,
the risk of supply disruptions and expectations of falling demand, resulting in increased
price volatility throughout the year and overall lower prices compared to the same
period. According to CCF data, the average price of WTI crude oil fell 17.62 per cent
year-on-year in 2023 and the average price of Brent crude oil fell 16.82 per cent year-
on-year.


The purchase price of energy accounts for more than 30% of the total production
cost

       Description of the reasons for the year-on-year change of more than 30% in
       relevant data
       During the reporting period, the output and sales of PIA and PTA of the Company
       increased by more than 30% as compared with the same period in 2022, which was
       mainly due to the impact of the Company's shutdown and maintenance during the same
       period in 2022, which resulted in a low start-up load, and a gradual increase in the start-
       up load during the reporting period.

    Description of the main factors influencing significant year-on-year changes in
    relevant data
    (1) Net cash flow from operating activities increased, mainly due to the polyester
    segment downstream demand in the current period, price difference repair, improved
    operating efficiency, compared with last year's sales volume rose, inventory realization
    inflow increased in the current period, and inventory at the end of the reporting period
    decreased year-on-year.


    (2) Net cash flow from investing activities decreased, mainly due to the increase in cash
    outflow from investing activities as a result of the payment of equipment for Guangxi
                                               90

project and the purchase of equity shares of Zheshang Bank allotment.


(3) The decrease in net cash flows from financing activities was mainly due to the fact
that cash outflows for debt repayment exceeded cash inflows for new borrowings
during the period.


(4) The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to the combined effect
of changes in cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing
activities during the reporting period.


Description of the reasons for the significant difference between the net cash flows
generated by the Company's operating activities and the net profit of the year
during the reporting period

(IV) Risks faced by the company and countermeasures


1. Macroeconomic risk


The company is engaged in the business of petrochemical and polyester fibre products
production and sales, petrochemical and polyester chemical fibre industry and the world
economy and China's economic development is closely related to the state of the

                                          122
                                    2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


economy, but also an industry closely related to national economy and people's
livelihood, and the price and sales of its products are affected by macro-economic
fluctuations and changes in supply and demand and other factors. With the acceleration
of economic globalisation and integration, national macro-controls and cyclical
fluctuations in the world economy will have an impact on the development of the
industry, and if the global economic growth slows down or there is a recession, it will
have a direct impact on the Company's business, operating results and financial position
end demand.


2. Safety and environmental production risks


As the awareness of eco-friendliness increases and the government's environmentally-
friendly requirements become stricter, the Company strictly implements the Production
Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, Environmental Protection Law of the
People's Republic of China and other relevant laws and regulations to ensure safe and
environmentally-friendly production, and earnestly fulfils our social responsibility.
Since the operation of the main production entity, no major safety and eco-friendliness
incidents have occurred. With the expansion of the Company's production scale and the
extension of the industry chain, preventing safety and eco-friendliness accidents has
become the focus of the Company's operation and management.


In order to reduce industrial safety and environmental production risks, the Company
strengthens subsequent investment in eco-friendliness, including but not limited to the
purchase and update of equipment and facilities, the construction and implementation
of organizational systems, etc. The Company will actively carry out safety
standardization and acceptance work in accordance with the arrangements for the
construction of Class 1, 2, and 3 national safety standards, and focus on building a
safety standard management system. The Company will implement the dual-prevention
work mechanism combining safety risk classification and control and hidden danger

                                          123
                                      2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


investigation and management, strengthen safety training, increase safety investment,
practice the strategy of promoting safety based on science and technology, promptly
remove safety and eco-friendliness hazards, and eliminate all possibilities of major
accidents.


3. Risk of significant fluctuations of raw materials price


More than 80% of the cost composition of the industry chain in which the Company
operates is determined by upstream raw materials, in particular, the price fluctuation of
crude oil has a greater impact on the Company's production and operation. 2024, the
price of crude oil is likely to fluctuate significantly in line with the international
situation, geopolitics, etc., which will in turn affect the price change of various products
in the industry chain, aggravate the uncertainty of raw material costs and operating
costs, and may bring about greater fluctuations in the Company's efficiency. The
Company will continue to optimise its inventory strategy to reduce the adverse impact
caused by price fluctuations of crude oil and other raw materials.


4. Environmental protection risks


The production and operation of the Company must comply with multiple
environmental protection laws and regulations related to air, water quality, waste
disposal, and public health and safety, obtain relevant environmental protection permits,
and accept inspections from relevant national environmental protection departments. In
recent years, the Company has invested a large amount of funds and technical strength
in the transformation of environmental protection equipment and production processes,
and has treated and discharged pollutants in accordance with national environmental
protection requirements. However, with the promotion of vertical integration of the
industrial chain of listed companies, the expansion of production scale, and the
possibility of stricter environmental protection standards and broader and stricter

                                            124
                                                   2023 Annual Report of Hengyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.


          pollution control measures being implemented in China or Brunei in the future, the
          Company's environmental protection costs and management difficulties will also
          increase.


          5. Risk of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations


          The main operations of the Company's subsidiary, Hengyi Brunei, are located outside
          of China, and its main business is settled in US dollars. The exchange rate and interest
          rate between the settlement currency and RMB may fluctuate in line with changes in
          the international political and economic environment, and is subject to a certain degree
          of uncertainty. With the expansion of the Company's overseas business layout and the
          increase in overseas sales revenue in the future, the Company's asset position and
          operating results are exposed to risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations.


          The Company's interest rate risk mainly comes from bank borrowings. The Company,
          through establishing a good cooperative relationship with banks, has made reasonable
          designs for credit limits, credit varieties and credit terms to ensure sufficient bank credit
          limits to meet the Company's various long and short-term financing needs and to
          reasonably reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations.

          the reporting period
