        4. ApplicableInapplicable


          The consolidated net profit for the reporting period under IFRS and CAS were RMB35,892 million and RMB35,889 million respectively, with a difference of RMB3 million; the consolidated shareholders' equity as at the end of the reporting period under IFRS and CAS were RMB1,311,108 million and RMB1,311,084 million respectively, with a difference of RMB24 million, which was primarily due to the revaluation for assets other than fixed assets and oil and gas properties revalued in 1999. During the restructuring in 1999, a valuation was carried out for assets and liabilities injected by China National Petroleum Corporation ('CNPC'). The valuation results on assets other than fixed assets and oil and gas properties were not recognised in the financial statements prepared under IFRS.
