New Contract Value and Backlog

Representative New Contracts

New contract value represents the value of the contracts the Group entered into during a specified period. The value of a contract is the amount that the Group expects to receive under the terms of the contract if the contract is performed in accordance with its terms. During the three months ended 30 September 2014, the total value of new contracts entered into by the Group amounted to RMB22.475 billion, and contracts that are representative are as follows:

  1. a package contract of engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) of an oil refining and petrochemical integrated engineering project with a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Bhd, with a contract value of RMB8.192 billion. For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 29 August 2014;

  2. an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the first section (coal gasification part) of a 170 million tons per annum (Mtpa) olefins and methanol-to-olefins project with Zhong’an United Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. (中安聯合煤化有限責任公司), with a contract value of RMB2.319 billion; and

  3. a general EPC contract for, among other things, DMTO and olefin separation units of Phase I of a coal deep-processing demonstration project with Qinghai Damei Coal Industry Co., Ltd. (青海大美煤業股份有限公司) with a contract value of RMB2.072 billion.

Backlog

Backlog represents the total estimated contract value of work that remains to be completed pursuant to outstanding contracts as at a certain date, net of estimated value added tax and is based on the Group’s assumption that the relevant contracts will be performed in accordance with their terms. Backlog is not a measure defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Any modification, termination or suspension of these contracts by the Group’s clients may have a substantial and immediate effect on the Group’s backlog. Projects may also remain in the Group’s backlog for an extended period of time beyond what was initially anticipated due to various factors beyond the Group’s control.
