 Mandarin Oriental International Limited Notes to Condensed Financial Statements  
                                                                                  
 
 
1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION 
 
The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.  The
condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The condensed financial statements have not
been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditor pursuant to the UK Auditing Practices Board guidance on the review of
interim financial information. 
 
The following amendments which are effective in the current accounting period and relevant to the Group's operations are
adopted in 2016: 
 
                                                                                                         
   Amendments to IFRS 11            Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in JointOperations          
   Amendments to IAS 1              Disclosure Initiative: Presentation of FinancialStatements           
   Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38  Clarification of Acceptable Methods ofDepreciation and Amortization  
   Annual Improvements to IFRSs     2012 - 2014 Cycle                                                    
                                                                                                         
                                                                                                           
 
 
Amendments to IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements' introduce new guidance on the accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a
joint operation that constitutes a business.  Acquirers of such interests shall apply all of the principles on business
combinations accounting in IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', and other IFRSs, that do not conflict with the guidance in IFRS
11 and disclose the information that is required in those IFRSs in relation to business combinations. 
 
Amendment to IAS 1 is part of the International Accounting Standards Board's initiatives to improve the effectiveness of
disclosure in financial reporting.  Amendments to IAS 1 clarify that companies shall apply professional judgments in
determining what information to disclose and how to structure it in the financial statements.  The amendments include
narrow-focus improvements in the guidance on materiality, disaggregation and subtotals, note structure, disclosure of
accounting policies and presentation of items of other comprehensive income arising from equity accounted investments. 
 
Amendments to IAS 16 'Property, Plant and Equipment' and IAS 38 'Intangible Assets' clarify that the use of revenue-based
methods to calculate the depreciation or amortization of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an
activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits
embodied in the asset.  The amendments to IAS 38 further clarify that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate
basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset.  This presumption however,
can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances. 
 
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 - 2014 Cycle comprise a number of non-urgent but necessary amendments. 
 
There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2015 annual financial statements upon the adoption
of the above amendments to existing standards.  The adoption of these amendments do not have any significant impact on the
results or financial position of the Group. 
 
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

6.    EARNINGS PER SHARE 
 
Basic earnings per share are calculated on the profit attributable to shareholders of US$22.9 million (2015: US$32.4
million) and on the weighted average number of 1,255.9 million (2015: 1,142.4 million) shares in issue during the period. 
 
Diluted earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$22.9 million (2015: US$32.4 million)
and on the weighted average number of 1,261.2 million (2015: 1,147.8 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 period. 
 
The weighted average number of shares is arrived at as follows: 
 
   Ordinary shares in millions

Fair value estimation 
 
(i)  Financial instruments that are measured at fair value 
 
For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements
are disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: 
 
(a)   Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ('quoted prices in active markets') 
 
The fair value of listed securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, is based on quoted prices in active
markets at the balance sheet date.  The quoted market price used for listed investments held by the Group is the current
bid price. 
 
(b)   Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly ('observable current market transactions') 
 
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance
sheet date.  The rates for interest rate swaps and caps and forward foreign exchange contracts are calculated by reference
to market interest rates and foreign exchange rates. 
 
The fair values of unlisted investments, which are classified as available-for-sale and mainly include club and school
debentures, are determined using prices quoted by brokers at the balance sheet date. 
 
(c)   Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data ('unobservable inputs') 
 
The fair value of other unlisted securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, is determined using valuation
techniques by reference to observable current market transactions (including price-to earnings and price-to book ratios of
listed securities of entities engaged in similar industries) or the market prices of the underlying investments with
certain degree of entity specific estimates. 
 
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30th June 2016 and the year ended 31st December
2015. 
 
The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2016 and 31st December 2015, by the
levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:

discounted at market interest rates.
