Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 
 
For the 6 month period from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014 
 
General information 
 
Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited (the "Company") is a Company
incorporated and registered in Guernsey under The Companies (Guernsey) Law,
1994. This law was replaced by the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 on 1 July
2008. The Company is an authorised entity under the Authorised Closed-Ended
Investment Schemes Rules 2008 and is regulated by the Guernsey Financial
Services Commission. The address of the registered office is given below. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months
ended 31 December 2014 comprise the interim financial statements of the
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Group
invests in residential and commercial property and property-related ventures
primarily in Macau. 
 
There have been no changes to the Group's principal risks and uncertainties in
the six month period to 31 December 2014 and the Board of Directors does not
anticipate any changes to the principal risks and uncertainties in the second
half of the year. Principal risks and uncertainties are further discussed in
the Investment Managers Report on above. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US
Dollars ("US$") and are rounded to the nearest thousand ($'000). 
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved
for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2015. 
 
1.   Significant accounting policies 
 
Basis of accounting 
 
The annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the
European Union; applicable legal and regulatory requirements of Guernsey Law
and under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of
investment properties and derivative financial instruments. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim
Financial Reporting. The same accounting policies and methods of computation
are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the annual
financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual
financial statements as of 30 June 2014. 
 
As a result of the decision of the IFRS Interpretations Committee in its July
2014 meeting relating to deferred taxation for a single asset held by a
corporate wrapper, the Group has recognised the deferred tax liability for the
taxable temporary difference relating to the investment property carried at
fair value in its interim financial statements and, in line with the prior
period adjustment made in its 30 June 2014 financial statements, the Group has
adjusted the 31 December 2013 comparative numbers (see Note below). 
 
There was a further, presentational, reclassification within the consolidated
statement of cash flows whereby it was deemed appropriate to include the
`movement in pledged bank balances' under `investing activities' as opposed to
`financing activities' as in the prior periods.  This resulted in no net cash
flow impact. 
 
New and amended standards and interpretations applied 
 
The following new and amendments to existing standards and interpretations,
either did not have a material impact on the Group or were not applicable are
outlined below: 
 
                                                                                                                                                                Effective dates

Going concern 
 
As part of their assessment of the going concern of the Group, the Directors
have reviewed the comprehensive cash flow forecasts prepared by management
which make assumptions based upon current and expected future market
conditions. It is the Directors' belief that, based upon those forecasts and
their assessment of the Group's committed banking facilities, it is
appropriate to prepare the financial statements of the Group on the going
concern basis. In arriving at their conclusion that the Group currently has
adequate financial resources, the Directors have taken into consideration the
fact that the Group has cash of US$4.6 million and net current assets of
US$44.4 million as at 31 December 2014. 
 
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements of
the Group on the going concern basis based upon existing cash resources, the
forecasts described above, the extension of the life of the Company until the
end of 2016 agreed at the EGM on 7 April 2014 and the Directors' assessment of
the Group's committed banking facilities and expected continuing compliance
with related covenants. 
 
Seasonal and cyclical variations 
 
The Group does not operate in an industry where significant or cyclical
variations as a result of seasonal activity are experienced during the
financial year. 
 
2.   Segment reporting 
 
The chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") in relation to Macau Property
Opportunities Fund Limited is deemed to be the Board itself. The factors used
to identify the Group's reportable segments are centred on asset class,
differences in geographical area and differences in regulatory environment.
Further, foreign exchange and political risk is identified, as these also
determine where resources are allocated. 
 
Based on the above and a review of information provided to the Board, it has
been concluded that the Group is currently organised into one reportable
segment based on the geographical sector, Macau. 
 
This segment includes residential, commercial and mixed-use properties.
Furthermore, there are multiple individual properties that are held within
each property type. However, the CODM considers on a regular basis the
operating results and resource allocation of the aggregated position of all
property types as a whole as part of their on-going performance review, this
is supported by a further breakdown of individual property groups only to help
support their review and investment appraisal objectives.
