Tax on profits has been calculated at rates of taxation prevailing in the
territories in which the Group operates. 
 
Share of tax of associates and joint ventures of US$2.2 million (2015:
US$2.4million) is included in share of results of associates and joint
ventures (note 4). 
 
6.    EARNINGS PER SHARE 
 
Basic earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders
of  US$55.2 million (2015: US$89.3 million) and on the weighted average number
of 1,255.9 million (2015: 1,199.6 million) shares in issue during the year. 
 
Diluted earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to
shareholders of US$55.2 million (2015: US$89.3 million) and on the weighted
average number of 1,261.5 million (2015: 1,204.5 million) shares after
adjusting for the number of shares which are deemed to be issued for no
consideration under the share-based long-term incentive plans based on the
average share price during the year. 
 
The weighted average number of shares is arrived at as follows: 
 
   Ordinary shares in millions

   Weighted average number of shares for basic earnings    per share calculation                                     1,255.9    1,199.6  
   Adjustment for shares deemed to be issued for no consideration under the share-based long-term incentive plans    5.6        4.9

non-trading items include gains and losses arising from the sale of
businesses, investments and properties; impairment of non-depreciable
intangible assets and other investments; provisions for the closure of
businesses; acquisition-related costs in business combinations; provisions
against asset impairment and writebacks; and other credits and charges of a
non-recurring nature that require inclusion in order to provide additional

A development agreement was entered into between one of the Group's
subsidiaries and the District of Columbia ('District'), pursuant to which the
District agreed to provide certain funds to the subsidiary out of the net
proceeds obtained through the issuance and sale of certain tax increment
financing bonds ('TIF Bonds') for the development and construction of Mandarin
Oriental, Washington D.C. 
 
The District agreed to contribute to the subsidiary US$33.0 million through
the issuance of TIF Bonds in addition to US$1.7 million issued in the form of
a loan, bearing simple interest at an annual rate of 6.0%.  The US$1.7 million
loan plus all accrued interest will be due on the earlier of 10th April 2017
or the date of the first sale of the hotel. 
 
The receipt of the TIF Bonds has been treated as a government grant and netted
off against the net book value in respect of the property (note 8).  The loan
of US$1.7 million (2015: US$1.7 million) is included in current (2015:
long-term) borrowings (note 9). 
 
11.  ACQUISITION OF MANDARIN ORIENTAL, BOSTON 
 
On 27th April 2016, the Group completed its US$140.0 million acquisition of
Mandarin Oriental, Boston, a hotel that the Group has managed since its
opening in 2008.  The consideration of US$140.0 million represented the fair
values of the tangible assets acquired at the acquisition date.  There was no
goodwill arising on acquisition. 
 
12.  ACQUISITION OF HOTEL RITZ, MADRID 
 
In May 2015, the Group acquired a 50% interest in the Hotel Ritz, Madrid for
E65 million (US$73.3 million) in a joint venture with The Olayan Group, with
Mandarin Oriental managing the hotel under a long-term management agreement. 
The hotel is to undergo a comprehensive renovation in 2018 and 2019, currently
estimated to cost a total of some E90 million, of which the Group's share will
be E45 million (US$47 million). 
 
13.  ISSUE OF SHARES 
 
In April 2015, the Group completed a 1 for 4 rights issue with 250.9 million
new ordinary shares issued at US$1.26 per share, raising US$316.2 million of
gross proceeds.  The proceeds of the issue were used to pay down debt in
advance of the refurbishment of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London and to
fund the Group's acquisition of a 50% interest in the Hotel Ritz, Madrid.  The
Group paid expenses of US$3.6 million in connection with the rights issue in
2015. 
 
The Group issued 1.3 million new ordinary shares under the share-based
long-term incentive plans with proceeds of US$1.4 million in 2015.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The Board has overall responsibility for risk management and internal control.
 The process by which the Group identifies and manages risk will be set out in
more detail in the Corporate Governance section of the Company's 2016 Annual
Report (the 'Report').  The following are the principal risks and
uncertainties facing the Company as required to be disclosed pursuant to the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules issued by the Financial Conduct
Authority in the United Kingdom and are in addition to the matters referred to
in the Chairman's Statement and Group Chief Executive's Review. 
 
1.    Economic and Financial Risk 
 
The Group's business is exposed to the risk of negative developments in global
and regional economies and financial markets, either directly or through the
impact on the Group's investment partners, third-party hotel owners and
developers, bankers, suppliers or customers.  These developments can result in
recession, inflation, deflation, currency fluctuations, restrictions in the
availability of credit, business failures, or increases in financing costs. 
Such developments may increase operating costs, reduce revenues, lower asset
values or result in the Group being unable to meet in full its strategic
objectives.  These developments could also adversely affect travel patterns
which would impact demand for the Group's products and services. 
 
The steps taken by the Group to manage its exposure to financial risk will be
set out in the Financial Risk Management section in the Financial Statements
in the Report. 
 
2.    Commercial and Market Risk 
 
Risks are an integral part of normal commercial practices, and where
practicable steps are taken to mitigate such risks. 
 
The Group operates within the global hotel industry which is highly
competitive.  Failure to compete effectively in terms of quality of product,
levels of service or price can have an adverse effect on earnings. 
Significant competitive pressure or the oversupply of hotel rooms in a
specific market can lead to reduced margins.  Advances in technology creating
new or disruptive competitive pressures might also negatively affect the
trading environment. 
 
The Group competes with other luxury hotel operators for new opportunities in
the areas of hotel management, residences management and residences branding. 
Failure to establish and maintain relationships with hotel owners or
developers could adversely affect the Group's business.  The Group also makes
investment decisions in respect of acquiring new hotel properties and
undertaking major renovations at hotels in which it has an ownership interest.
 The success of these investments is measured over the longer term and as a
result is subject to market risk. 
 
Mandarin Oriental's continued growth depends on the opening of new hotels and
branded residences.  Most of the Group's new developments are controlled by
third-party owners and developers and can be subject to delays due to issues
attributable to planning and construction, sourcing of finance, and the sale
of residential units.  In extreme circumstances, such factors might lead to
the cancellation of a project. 
 
3.    Pandemic, Terrorism and Natural Disasters 
 
The Group's business would be impacted by a global or regional pandemic as
this would impact travel patterns, demand for the Group's products and
services and could also affect the Group's ability to operate effectively. 
The Group's hotels are also vulnerable to the effects of terrorism, either
directly through the impact of an act of terrorism or indirectly through the
impact of generally reduced economic activity in response to the threat of or
an actual act of terrorism.  In addition, a number of the territories in which
the Group operates can experience from time to time natural disasters such as
typhoons, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis. 
 
4.    Key Agreements 
 
The Group's business is reliant upon joint venture and partnership agreements,
property leasehold arrangements, management, license, branding and services
agreements or other key contracts.  Cancellation, expiry or termination, or
the renegotiation of any of these key agreements and contracts, could have an
adverse effect on the financial performance of individual hotels as well as
the wider Group. 
 
5.    Reputational Risk and Value of the Brand 
 
The Group's brand equity and global reputation is fundamental in supporting
its ability to offer premium products and services and to achieving acceptable
revenues and profit margins.  Any damage to the Group's brand equity or
reputation, including as a result of negative effects relating to health and
safety, acts or omissions by Group personnel, information system breaches, and
any allegations of socially irresponsible policies and practices, might
adversely impact the attractiveness of the Group's properties or the loyalty
of the Group's guests. 
 
6.    Regulatory and Political Risk 
 
The Group's business is subject to a number of regulatory environments in the
territories in which it operates.  Changes in the regulatory approach to such
matters as employment legislation, tax rules, foreign ownership of assets,
planning controls and exchange controls have the potential to impact the
operations and profitability of the Group's business. Changes in the political
environment, including prolonged civil unrest, could also affect the Group's
business.
