In 2023, the crude oil prices fluctuated widely and the market demand was sluggish. The price difference between chemical products and raw materials remained at a low level, and profit margins were narrow. The decrease in the average price of major petrochemical products of the Company exceeded the decrease in the average processing cost of the crude oil. In addition, the Company’s investment income was unsatisfactory, etc. The combination of the above reasons led to a loss in the Company’s operating results.

4.	RISK WARNING

The Company does not have any significant uncertainties that will affect the accuracy of the contents of this estimated results.
