The skill-sets of the Board are determined and regularly reviewed on the basis that members of the Board as a whole possess all-
rounded business and professional skills essential to manage a successful sizeable enterprise and to support continuous growth. In
addition to our executive Directors’ substantial experience in the Company’s business, our Directors have a mix of corporate
management and strategic planning, finance, legal and corporate governance experience and qualifications. In fulfilling their roles

The majority of the non-executive Directors of the Company are independent non-executive Directors.
All independent non-executive Directors of the Company have met all of the guidelines for assessing independence set out in Rule

fixed term of three years pursuant to their service contracts, which may be extended by another three-year term.
Appointment and Re-election of Directors
There is a formal, considered and transparent procedure for the appointment of new Directors to the Board. Candidates to be

care and diligence to a standard required of for listed companies’ directors. The ability to provide balanced and independent views

educational and professional qualifications and the relevant working experience is submitted to the Board for decision in the appointment

During the year, the Company has not appointed or removed any director. Changes in the Board subsequent to the year are set out
in the Report of the Directors on page 43.
Responsibilities of Directors

arranged for site visits to certain important operations of the Group for Directors. Timely updates on changes in laws and compliance
issues relevant to the Group and appropriate information on the Group’s business and activities are provided to our Directors.
Reports on the Company’s performance and comparison with budget together with the necessary commentary and explanation on
any deviation from budget are provided to our Directors at Board Meetings held on a quarterly basis.
The Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (“Model Code”) set out in
Appendix 10 of the Listing Rules as its code of conduct for securities transactions by Directors. The Company, having made specific
enquiry of all Directors, confirms that our Directors have complied with the required standard set out in the Model Code and the
Company’s own code.
The Board has also established written guidelines on no less exacting terms than the Model Code to be observed by relevant
employees of the Group who, because of their offices or employments, are likely to be in possession of unpublished price sensitive
information in relation to the Group or the securities of the Company in respect of their dealings in the securities of the Company.

BOARD COMMITTEES

which deal clearly with their authority and duties, to oversee particular aspects of the Group’s affairs. Sufficient resources, including
the advice of external Auditors and independent professional advisers, are provided to the Board Committees to enable them to
discharge their duties.
Executive Board
The Board has delegated the power, authorities and discretions for the management of the Group’s operations and activities to a
formally established Executive Board constituted by all executive Directors of the Company. The Executive Board reports to the
Board and causes its resolutions circulated to the Board on a quarterly basis. Certain matters are specifically reserved for approval
by the Board, including annual budgets and accounts, dividends and distribution to shareholders, increase of share capital and

In respect of the decision making process, Levels of Authority for management have been formally approved by the Executive Board
and management submits written proposals with detailed analysis (both financial and commercial) and recommendations to the
Executive Board for consideration and approval, in accordance with those Levels of Authority. Where the subject matter exceeds the

The Board acknowledges its responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control system is maintained to safeguard shareholders’
investment and the Group’s assets. The system is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material
misstatement or loss and manage rather than eliminate risks of failure in operations, and to ensure achievement of the Group’s
objectives.
The key procedures that the Board established to provide effective internal controls include the following:
• A clear organizational structure with defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority is in place.
• Formal policies and procedures for financial planning and budgeting, information and reporting systems, monitoring the Group’s
operations and performance are established to ensure financial information reported is reliable and up to date.
• The day-to-day responsibility for implementation of these procedures and ongoing monitoring of risk and the effectiveness of
risk control rests with the Management of each business unit.
• The internal audit function was established during 2006. Its function monitors the effectiveness of internal control structures and
focuses on reviews of key operations and critical applications. The internal audit plan is submitted to the Audit Committee for
approval annually. Findings and recommendations for any corrective action required are reported to the Audit Committee half
yearly.
Annual assessment
A Risk Management process had been carried out to identify and assess the major risks facing its business units during 2006. To
review the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial, operational and compliance controls, the Board, through the
Audit Committee, embarked upon a project in 2006. A reputable and experienced external consultant was employed to advise on
the development of a Control Self Assessment process focused on the entertainment business due to its inherent risk. A thorough
walkthrough of each key business process was conducted to identify material controls and control gaps. A set of detailed process
flowcharts with narrative was developed to reflect the current practice in place. All identified material controls were incorporated in
the Control Self Assessment sheets for testing, which was performed by the management of each key business unit. Testing results
were submitted to Internal Audit for review. No significant issues needed to be brought to the Audit Committee’s attention.

Internal Audit Department
Reporting to the Audit Committee, the Internal Audit Department has unrestricted access to all functions, records, property, and
personnel. Its primary responsibilities are to:
• Develop a flexible annual audit plan using appropriate risk-based methodology, including any risks or control concerns identified
by management, and submit that plan to the Audit Committee for review and approval.
• Implement the annual audit plan, as approved, including, and as appropriate, any special tasks or projects requested by
management and the Audit Committee.
• Maintain a team of professional audit staff equipped with sufficient knowledge, skills, experience, and professional qualifications
to meet the requirements of the internal audit functions.
• Establish quality audit programs to test internal controls and risk management practices effectively.
• Report and investigate all exceptions noted during internal audit work; and follow up on the implementation status of all agreed
audit recommendations.
• Evaluate and assess significant new or changing services, processes, operations, and control processes coincident with their
development, implementation, and/or expansion.
• Issue periodic reports to the Audit Committee and management summarizing results of audit activities.
COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS

The Company recognizes the importance of maintaining an on-going communication with shareholders to enable them to form their
own judgement and to provide constructive feedback.
The Company holds press conferences, analysts briefings and investor meetings after the announcement of its
annual and interim results. The Company’s website www.galaxyentertainment.com contains an investor relations section which
offers timely access to our press releases and other business information. Our Directors are available at the Company’s annual and
extraordinary general meetings to answer questions and provide information which shareholders may enquire.
The Company has complied with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association in respect of voting by poll and
related matters.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE

Throughout the year under review, the Company has met the code provisions in the Code, except code provision A.4.2. The Board
considers that the spirit of code provision A.4.2 has been upheld, given that the other Directors do retire by rotation in accordance
with the Articles of Association of the Company and the Group is best served by not requiring the Chairman and the Managing
Director to retire by rotation as their continuity in office is of considerable benefit to and their leadership, vision and profound
knowledge in the widespread geographical business of the Group is an asset of the Company.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
GALAXY ENTERTAINMENT GROUP LIMITED
(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
We have audited the financial statements of Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) set out on pages 54 to
124, which comprise the consolidated and company balance sheets as at 31st December 2006, and the consolidated profit
and loss statement, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year
then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and
maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and the true and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and
making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUDITORS
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit and to report solely to you, as a
body, in accordance with section 141 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for no other purpose. We do not assume
responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the judgment of the auditors, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditors consider internal control relevant to the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OPINION
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company as at
31st December 2006 and of the loss and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong
Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong and
has its primary listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The address of its registered
office and principal place of business is Room 1606, 16th Floor, Hutchison House, 10 Harcourt Road, Central, Hong
Kong.
The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (together the ‘‘Group’’) are operation in casino games of
chance or games of other forms, provision of hospitality and related services in Macau, and the manufacture, sale and
distribution of construction materials in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
(‘‘HKFRS’’) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’) under the historical cost
convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties, non-current investments, financial assets and
financial liabilities (including derivative financial instruments), which are carried at fair values.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies of
the Group. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 5 below.
(a) Changes in accounting policies
In 2006, the Group adopted the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations of HKFRS issued
by the HKICPA which are effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2006. The
change to the accounting policy of the Group and its effects are set out below.
For the year ended 31st December 2006, HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 ‘‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a
Lease’’ becomes effective, under which the Group has reassessed all the existing arrangements to determine
whether they contain a lease based on the substance of the arrangement. As a result of this reassessment, the
arrangements for certain plant and equipment and computer software constitute leases under HK(IFRIC)-Int 4.
Accordingly, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with net book amounts of HK$36,842,000
and HK$1,139,000, respectively, as at 31st December 2005 have been reclassified as investments in finance
leases. The above change however does not have any impact to the results of the Group and therefore a prior
year adjustment is not required.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)
(b) Standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards which are not yet effective
The following standards and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for
the accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2007 or later periods but which the Group has not early
adopted:
HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

HKFRS 8 Operating Segments
HKAS 1 Amendment Presentation of Financial Statements-Capital Disclosures
HK(IFRIC)-Int 8 Scope of HKFRS 2
HK(IFRIC)-Int 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
HK(IFRIC)-Int 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
HK(IFRIC)-Int 11 HKFRS 2-Group and Treasury Share Transactions
The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these standards, amendments and
interpretations but is not yet in a position to state whether they would have a significant impact on its results of
operations and financial position.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, except for that stated in note 2(a) above.
3.1 Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
made up to 31st December and the share of post acquisition results and reserves of its jointly controlled entities
and associated companies attributable to the Group.
Results attributable to subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associated companies acquired or disposed
of during the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss statement from the date of acquisition or to the
date of disposal as applicable.
The profit or loss on disposal of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associated companies is calculated by
reference to the share of net assets at the date of disposal including the attributable amount of goodwill not yet
written off.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.2 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are companies over which the Group has the power to exercise control governing the financial and
operating policies of the company, generally accompanying a direct or indirect shareholding of more than half
the voting power or holds more than half of the issued equity capital. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls
another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost
of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities
incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of
the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the share of the identifiable net assets acquired by the Group is
recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary
acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the profit and loss statement.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of an impairment of
the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
In the balance sheet of the Company, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment losses.
The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend income.
3.3 Minority interests
Minority interests represent the interest of outside shareholders in the operating results and net assets of
subsidiaries.
The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to
the Group. Disposals of equity interests to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are
recorded in the profit and loss statement. Purchases of equity interests from minority interests result in goodwill,
being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share of the carrying value of net assets
of the subsidiary being acquired.
3.4 Jointly controlled entities and jointly controlled operations
A jointly controlled entity is a joint venture in respect of which a contractual arrangement is established between
the participating venturers and whereby the Group together with the venturer undertake an economic activity
which is subject to joint control and none of the venturers has unilateral control over the economic activity.

3.4 Jointly controlled entities and jointly controlled operations (Continued)
Jointly controlled entities are accounted for under the equity method whereby the share of results of the Group is
included in the consolidated profit and loss statement and the share of net assets of the Group is included in the
consolidated balance sheet.
In the balance sheet of the Company, investments in jointly controlled entities are stated at cost less provision
for impairment losses. The results of jointly controlled entities are accounted for by the Company on the basis of
dividend income.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the
extent of the interest in the jointly controlled entities held by the Group. Unrealised losses are also eliminated
unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of
jointly controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies of the
Group.
Interests in unincorporated jointly controlled operations are accounted for using the proportionate
consolidation method under which the share of individual assets and liabilities, income and expenses and
cash flows of jointly controlled operations is included in the relevant components of the consolidated financial
statements.
3.5 Associated companies
An associated company is a company, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which an equity interest is
held for the long-term and significant influence is exercised in its management, generally accompanying a
shareholding of between 20% to 50% of the voting rights.
Investments in associated companies are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are initially
recognised at cost. The investments in associated companies of the Group include goodwill, net of any
accumulated impairment loss, identified on acquisition.
The share of post-acquisition profits or losses of associated companies attributable to the Group is recognised
in the profit and loss statement, and the share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in
reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the
investment. When the share of losses of the Group in an associated company equals or exceeds its interest in
the associated company, including any other unsecured receivable, the Group does not recognise further
losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associated company.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associated companies are eliminated to the extent
of the interest in the associated companies held by the Group. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associated
companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies of the Group.

3.6 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the share of the net identifiable
assets of the acquired subsidiary, jointly controlled entity and associated company attributable to the Group at
the effective date of acquisition, and, in respect of an increase in holding in a subsidiary, the excess of the cost
of acquisition and the carrying amount of the proportion of the minority interests acquired. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or
assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets while goodwill on acquisition of jointly
controlled entities and associated companies is included in investments in jointly controlled entities and
associated companies. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired or the carrying amount of the
proportion of the minority interests acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the profit and loss
statement.
3.7 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the
Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are
expensed in the profit and loss statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
No depreciation is provided on assets under construction until it is completed and is ready in use. Depreciation
of other property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their
residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Leasehold improvement Over the remaining period of the lease

Buildings 50 years
Plant and machinery 5 to 25%
Gaming equipment 20 to 33.3%
Other assets 10 to 33.3%
The residual values and useful lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance
sheet date. Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its recoverable amount, it is written down
immediately to its estimated recoverable amount.
Profit or loss on disposal is determined as the difference between the net sales proceed and the carrying
amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in the profit and loss statement.

3.8 Investment properties
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the
Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property comprises freehold land, land held under
operating leases and buildings held under finance leases. Land held under operating leases is classified and
accounted for as investment property when the rest of the definition of investment property is met. The operating
lease is accounted for as if it was a finance lease.
Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs. After initial recognition,
investment property is carried at fair value. Fair value is based on valuations carried out annually by external
valuers. Changes in fair values are recognised in the profit and loss statement.
Subsequent expenditure is charged to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the profit and loss statement during the
financial period in which they are incurred.
If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, and its
fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes. Property that is being
constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as properties under development
and carried at cost until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified and
subsequently accounted for as investment property.
If a property becomes an investment property because its use has changed, any difference resulting between
the carrying amount and the fair value of this property at the date of transfer is recognised in equity as
revaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if the fair value gives rise to a reversal of the previous
impairment loss, this write-back is recognised in the profit and loss statement.
3.9 Gaming licence
Gaming licence represents the fair value of licence acquired and is amortised over its estimated useful lives on
a straight line basis and is tested annually for impairment.
3.10 Computer software
Costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific computer software licences are capitalised and are
amortised over their estimated useful lives of three years on a straight line basis. Costs associated with
developing or maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.
3.11 Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation, which are at least tested annually for
impairment and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less costs to sell and value in use. For
the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows. Assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at each balance sheet date.

3.12 Deferred expenditure
Quarry site development represents costs of constructing infrastructure at the quarry site to facilitate
excavation. Overburden removal costs are incurred to bring the quarry site into a condition ready for
excavation. Quarry site improvements represent estimated costs for environmental restoration and any
changes in the estimates are adjusted in the carrying value of the quarry site improvements. These costs are
amortised over the estimated useful lives of the quarries and sites concerned using the straight-line method.
Pre-operating costs are expensed as they are incurred.
3.13 Investments
The Group classifies its investments in the categories of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(including other investments), loans and receivable, and available-for-sale financial assets. Management
determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the
investments were acquired and re-evaluates this designation at every balance sheet date.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (including other investments)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current assets if they are either held for
trading or are expected to be realised within twelve months of the balance sheet date. A financial asset is
classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so
designated by management. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially
recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the
profit and loss statement.
(b) Loans and receivable
Loans and receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payment terms that
are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than
twelve months after the balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and
receivable are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(c) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not
classified in any of the other categories. They are included in the balance sheet under non-current
investments unless management intends to dispose of the investment within twelve months of the balance
sheet date. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction cost
and subsequently carried at fair value.

3.13 Investments (Continued)
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date, which is the date on which the
Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash
flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially
all risks and rewards of ownership. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value
of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are included in the profit and loss statement. Unrealised
gains and losses arising from changes in fair value non-monetary available-for-sale investments are recognised
in equity. When available-for-sale investments are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are
included in the profit and loss statement as gains or losses from investments.
The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not
active and for unlisted securities, the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include
the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same,
discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models, refined to reflect the specific circumstances of the
issuer.
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a
group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of available-for-sale investments, a significant or prolonged
decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost is considered as an indicator in determining whether the
investments are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale investments, the cumulative loss
measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on
that investment previously recognised in the profit and loss statement is removed from equity and recognised in
the profit and loss statement. Impairment losses recognised in the profit and loss statement on available-for-
sale investments are not reversed through the profit and loss statement.
3.14 Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments, including put option of shares and embedded derivative liability of convertible
notes, are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
remeasured at their fair value.
The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and
hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge
transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of
whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash
flows of hedged items.
The full fair value of hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability where the remaining
maturity of the hedge item is more than twelve months, and as a current asset or liability, where the remaining
maturity of the hedged item is less than twelve months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or
liability.

3.14 Derivative financial instruments (Continued)
For fair value hedge, where the instruments are designated to hedge fair value of recognised assets or
liabilities, changes in the fair value of these derivatives and the changes in the fair value of the hedged assets or
liabilities attributable to the hedged risk are recognised in the profit and loss statement as finance costs. When
the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged
item for which effective interest method is used is amortised to profit or loss over the period to maturity.
For cash flow hedge, where instruments are designated to hedge against the variability in cash flows
attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast
transaction, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as
cash flow hedges are recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in the profit and loss statement within finance costs. Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in
the profit and loss statement in the financial period when the hedged item affects profit or loss. However, when
the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, the gains
and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of
the cost of the asset or liability.
Changes in fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised
immediately in the profit and loss statement.
3.15 Debtors and prepayments
Debtors and prepayments are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment, which is established when there is objective
evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivable.
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy and default or
delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the
provision is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future
cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of debtors is reduced through
the use of an allowance account and the amount of the provision is recognised in the profit and loss statement
within other operating expenses. When a debtor is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account
for debtors. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the profit and loss
statement against other operating expenses.
3.16 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of construction materials is calculated
on the weighted average basis, comprises materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production
overhead expenditure. Cost of playing cards is determined using the first-in, first-out method and food and
beverages using the weighted average method. Net realisable value is determined on the basis of anticipated
sales proceeds less estimated selling expenses.

3.17 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances, deposits with banks and financial institutions
repayable within three months from the date of placement, less bank overdrafts and advances from banks and
financial institutions repayable within three months from the date of advance.
3.18 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
When the Company re-purchases its equity share capital, the consideration paid, including any directly
attributable incremental costs, net of income taxes, is deducted from equity attributable to the equity holders
and the shares are cancelled.
3.19 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Transaction costs are
incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or
financial liability, including fees and commissions to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory
agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Borrowings are subsequently stated at
amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is
recognised in the profit and loss statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of
the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
3.20 Convertible notes
(a) Convertible notes with equity component
Convertible notes that can be converted to equity share capital at the option of the holders, where the
number of shares that would be issued on conversion and the value of the consideration that would be
received do not vary, are accounted for as compound financial instruments which contain both a liability
component and an equity component.
At initial recognition, the liability component of the convertible notes is determined using a market interest
rate for an equivalent non-convertible note. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion
option as equity component. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of a compound financial instrument
are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds.
The liability component is subsequently carried at amortised cost, calculated using the effective interest
method, until extinguished on conversion or maturity. The equity component is recognised in equity, net
of any tax effects.

3.20 Convertible notes (Continued)
(a) Convertible notes with equity component (Continued)
When the note is converted, the relevant equity component and the carrying amount of the liability
component at the time of conversion are transferred to share capital and share premium for the shares
issued. When the note is redeemed, the relevant equity component is transferred to retained profit.
(b) Convertible notes without equity component
All other convertible notes which do not exhibit the characteristics mentioned in (a) above are accounted
for as hybrid instruments consisting of an embedded derivative and a host debt contract.
At initial recognition, the embedded derivative of the convertible notes is accounted for as derivative
financial instruments and is measured at fair value. Any excess of proceeds over the amount initially
recognised as the derivative component is recognised as a liability under the contract. Transaction costs
that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability under the contract.
The derivative component is subsequently carried at fair value and changes in fair value are recognised
in the profit and loss statement. The liability under the contract is subsequently carried at amortised cost,
calculated using the effective interest method, until extinguished on conversion or maturity.
When the note is converted, the carrying amount of the liability under the contract together with the fair
value of the relevant derivative component at the time of conversion are transferred to share capital and
share premium as consideration for the shares issued. When the note is redeemed, any difference
between the redemption amount and the carrying amounts of both components is recognised in the profit
and loss statement.
3.21 Leases
Leases that substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted
for as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of
the leased assets or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated
between the capital and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the remaining lease liability. The
corresponding lease obligations, net of finance charges, are included under current and non-current liabilities.
The finance charges are charged to the profit and loss statement over the lease periods. Assets held under
finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease periods.
Assets leased to third parties under agreements that transfer substantially all the risk and rewards incident to
ownership of the relevant assets to the lessees are classified as investments in finance leases. The present
value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable in the balance sheet. The difference between the
gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income. Gross
earnings under finance leases are recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method, which
reflects a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the leases.

3.21 Leases (Continued)
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are
classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases, net of any incentives received from the
lessors, are charged to the profit and loss statement on a straight line basis over the period of the leases. The
up-front prepayments made for leasehold land and land use rights are amortised on a straight-line basis over
the period of the lease or where there is impairment, the impairment is expensed in the profit and loss statement.
The amortisation of the leasehold land and land use rights is capitalised under the relevant assets when the
property on the leasehold land is under construction.
3.22 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the
amount can be made. Where a provision is expected to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a
separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the
obligation, before any tax effects, that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest
expense.
3.23 Deferred taxation
Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred
tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at
the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred
tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance
sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability
is settled.
Deferred taxation assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred taxation is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled
entities and associated companies, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is
controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable
future.

3.24 Employee benefits
(a) Employees entitlement, benefits and bonus
Contributions to publicly or privately administered defined contribution retirement or pension plans on a

mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis are recognised as employee benefit expense in the financial
period when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash
refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to
employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long-service leave as a
result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date. Employee entitlements to sick
leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
Provisions for bonus plans due wholly within twelve months after balance sheet date are recognised when
the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees
and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
(b) Share-based compensation
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options under the equity-
settled, share-based compensation plan is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed
over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the
impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions
about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date,
estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable are revised. The impact of
the revision of original estimates, if any, is recognised in the profit and loss statement over the remaining
voting period with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The proceeds received net of any directly
attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and share premium when the options are
exercised.
3.25 Borrowing costs
Interest and related costs on borrowings directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an
asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to complete and prepare the assets for its intended use
or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to the profit and
loss statement in the financial period in which they are incurred.
3.26 Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration for the sale of goods and services provided in the
ordinary course of the activities of the Group. Revenue is shown, net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and
discounts, allowance for credit and other revenue reducing factors.

3.26 Revenue recognition (Continued)
Revenue is recognised when the amount can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits
will flow to the Group and specific criteria for each of the activities have been met. The amount of revenue is not
considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the activities have been resolved.
Estimates are based on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customers, the type of
transactions and the specifics of each arrangement.
(a) Gaming operations
Revenue from gaming operations, representing the net gaming wins, is recognised when the relevant
services have been rendered and is measured at the entitlement of economic inflows of the Group from
the business.
(b) Hotel operations
Revenue from hotel room rental and food and beverages sales is recognised when the relevant services
have been rendered.
(c) Construction materials
Sales of construction materials are recognised when the goods are delivered and legal title is transferred
to customers.
(d) Rental income
Rental income, net of any incentives given to the lessee, is recognised over the periods of the respective
leases on a straight-line basis.
(e) Administrative fee
Administrative fee is recognised when the services have been rendered.
(f) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method, taking into
account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
(g) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is certain.

3.27 Foreign currencies
Transactions included in the financial statements of each of the entities in the Group are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (the ‘‘functional currency’’). The
financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollar, which is the functional and presentation currency of the
Company.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the
exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date are recognised in the profit and loss statement, except when
deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges or qualifying net investment hedges.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss is reported as
part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation difference on non-monetary available-for-sale investments is
included in equity.
The results and financial position of all the entities in the Group that have a functional currency different from the
presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the
date of that balance sheet;
(ii) income and expenses for each profit and loss statement are translated at average exchange rates; and
(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and
of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to equity.
When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the profit
and loss statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and
liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date.
3.28 Segment reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are
subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is
engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks
and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

3.29 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the shareholders of the Company is recognised as a liability in the financial statements
in the financial period in which the dividend payable becomes legal and constructive obligations of the
Company.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
4.1 Financial risk factors
The activities of the Group expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, cash flow
and fair value interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and price risk. The overall risk management programme of
the Group focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects
on the financial performance of the Group.
Financial risk management is carried out by the Finance Department under policies approved by the Board of
Directors. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific
areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of non-derivative financial
instruments and investing excess liquidity.
(a) Credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of
counterparties. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of construction materials are made to
customers with an appropriate credit history.
The Group does not currently provide credit to players of gaming.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its current obligations when they fall due.
The Group measures and monitors its liquidity through the maintenance of prudent ratios regarding the
liquidity structure of the overall assets, liabilities, loans and commitments of the Group.
The Group also maintains a conservative level of liquid assets to ensure the availability of sufficient cash
flows to meet any unexpected and material cash requirements in the course of ordinary business. In
addition, standby facilities are established to provide contingency liquidity support.
(c) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of changes in the rates on interest bearing
liabilities and assets. The Group follows a policy of developing long-term banking facilities to match its
long-term investments in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China. The policy also involves close
monitoring of interest rate movements and replacing and entering into new banking facilities when
favourable pricing opportunities arise.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
4.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(c) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk (Continued)
The interest rate risk of the Group arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair
value interest rate risk.
The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, when
deemed necessary. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from
floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Group raises long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps
them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if the Group borrowed initially at fixed rates. Under
the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with counterparties to exchange, at specified intervals, the
difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the
agreed notional principal amounts.
(d) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China and is exposed to foreign exchange risk
arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to Renminbi and Macau Patacas.
Foreign exchange risk mainly arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and
liabilities, which are denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the Group.
The Group has no significant foreign exchange risk due to there being limited foreign currency
transactions. Translation exposure arising on consolidation of the net assets of entities denominated in
foreign currencies is accounted for in the foreign exchange reserve.
The Group monitors foreign exchange exposure and considers to enter into forward foreign exchange
contracts to reduce exposure where necessary.
(e) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk through investments held by the Group classified
either as available-for-sale financial assets or other investments.
4.2 Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance
sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the
appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.
In assessing the fair value of non-trading securities, other financial assets and embedded financial liabilities,
the Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at
each balance sheet date.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
4.2 Fair value estimation (Continued)
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the
balance sheet date.
The fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market
interest rates.
The nominal values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of
less than one year; including debtors and prepayments, creditors and accruals and current borrowings are
assumed to approximate their fair values.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements used in preparing the financial statements are continually evaluated and are based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting
accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that
have a significant risk causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial period are discussed below:
(a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The management determines the estimated useful lives and residual values for its property, plant and
equipment. Management will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives are different from previously
estimates, or it will write-off or write-down obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
(b) Fair value of investment properties
The fair values of investment properties are determined by independent valuers on an open market for existing
use basis. In making the judgement, consideration has been given to assumptions that are mainly based on
market conditions existing at the balance sheet date and appropriate capitalisation rates. These estimates are
regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions entered into by the Group.
(c) Impairment of goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of a cash-
generating unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of
estimates, such as discount rates, future profitability and growth rates.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued)
(d) Impairment of gaming licence
Gaming licence represents the fair value of licence acquired on the acquisition of Galaxy and is amortised on a
straight line basis over its estimated useful life, which is the remaining licence period. The Group tests whether
the licence has suffered any impairment based on value-in-use calculations. The methodologies are based
upon estimates of future results, assumptions as to income and expenses of the business, future economic
conditions on growth rates and estimation of the future returns.
(e) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation
techniques. The Group uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly
based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The fair value also reflects the discounted
cash flows that could be expected from the ultimate sale after deducting the estimated expenses directly
associated with the sale. The Group determines whether an investment is impaired by evaluating the duration
and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost.
(f) Fair value of derivative financial instruments
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined by an independent valuer by reference to
Binomial model. In making the judgement, consideration has been given to assumptions that are mainly based
on market conditions existing at the balance sheet date.
(g) Provisions
The Group carries out environmental restoration for its quarry sites. Management estimates the related
provision for future environmental restoration based on an estimate of future expenditure for the restoration.
These provisions require the use of different assumptions, such as discount rates for the discounting of non-
current provision due to time value of money, the timing and extents of cash outflows.
(h) Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted is estimated by independent professional valuers based on the various
assumptions on volatility, life of options, dividend paid out rate and annual risk-free interest rate, excluding the
impact of any non-market vesting conditions, which generally represent the best estimate of the fair value of the
share options at date of granting the options.
(i) Taxation
The Group is subject to taxation in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China. Significant judgement is required in
determining the provision for taxation for each entity in the Group. There are transactions and calculations for
which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises
liabilities for potential tax exposures based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final
tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will
impact the current and deferred taxation provisions in the financial period in which such determination is made.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with the internal financial reporting and operating activities of the Group, the primary segment
reporting is by business segments and the secondary segment reporting is by geographical segments. Segment
assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, investment properties, leasehold land and land use rights,
intangible assets, other non-current assets, inventories, debtors and prepayments, and mainly exclude investments,
derivative financial instruments, taxation recoverable and cash and bank balances. Segment liabilities comprise
mainly creditors, accruals and provisions. There are no sales or trading transaction between the business segments.

(a) In respect of the operations of certain city club casinos (the ‘‘Certain City Club Casinos’’), the Group entered into
certain agreements (the ‘‘Agreements’’) with third parties for a term equal to the life of the concession agreement
with the Government of Macau Special Administrative Region (the ‘‘Macau Government’’) up to June 2022.
Under the Agreements, certain service providers (the ‘‘Service Providers’’) undertake for the provision of a
steady flow of customers to the Certain City Club Casinos and for procuring and or introducing customers to
these casinos. The Service Providers also agree to indemnify the Group against substantially all risks arising
under the leases of the premises used by these casinos; and to guarantee payments to the Group of certain
operating and administrative expenses. Revenue attributable to the Group is determined by reference to
various rates on the net gaming wins after special gaming tax and funds to the Macau Government. The
remaining net gaming wins and revenue from gaming operations less all the relevant operating and
administrative expenses belong to the Service Providers.
After analysing the risks and rewards attributable to the Group, and the Service Providers under the
Agreements, revenue from the Certain City Club Casinos is recognised based on the established rates for the
net gaming wins, after deduction of special gaming taxes and funds to the Macau Government, which reflect the
gross inflow of economic benefits to the Group. In addition, all relevant operating and administrative expenses
relating to the operations of the Certain City Club Casinos are not recognised as expenses of the Group in the
financial statements.

Group also makes defined top-up contributions to the same scheme or the Occupational Retirement Scheme
Ordinance (ORSO) Scheme for employees depending on circumstance. For the top-up schemes, the Group’s
contributions to the schemes may be reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the
scheme prior to vesting fully in the contributions. The assets of the Schemes are held separately from those of
the Group in independently administered funds.
The Group also operates a defined contribution scheme, which is a unitised scheme, for eligible employees in
Macau. The Galaxy Staff Pension Fund Scheme is established and managed by an independent management
company appointed by the Group. Both the Group and the employees make equal share of monthly
contributions to the scheme.

9. MANAGEMENT REMUNERATION (Continued)
(c) Retirement benefit schemes (Continued)
Employees in Mainland China participate in various pension plans organised by the relevant municipal and
provincial governments under which the Group is required to make monthly defined contributions to these plans
at rates ranging from 7% to 22%, dependent upon the applicable local regulations. The Group has no other
obligations for the payment of pension and other post-retirement benefits of employees other than the above
payments.
The costs of the retirement benefit schemes charged to the profit and loss statement during the year comprise
contributions to the schemes of HK$29,356,000 (2005: HK$15,443,000), after deducting forfeitures of
HK$1,119,000 (2005: HK$434,000), leaving HK$292,000 (2005: HK$171,000) available to reduce future
contributions.
(d) Share options
The value of the share options granted to the Directors and employees under the share option scheme of the
Company represents the fair value of these options (note 28(e)) charged to the profit and loss statement for the
year according to their vesting periods.

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 17.5% (2005: 17.5%) on the estimated assessable profits for
the year after setting off available taxation losses brought forward. Taxation assessable on profits generated outside
Hong Kong has been provided at the rates of taxation prevailing in the countries in which those profits arose.
The taxation on the (loss)/profit before taxation of the Group differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using
the applicable taxation rate being the weighted average of rates prevailing in the countries in which the Group
operates, is as follows:
2006 2005

12. LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS
The loss attributable to shareholders is dealt with in the financial statements of the Company to the extent of
HK$68,975,000 (2005: HK$147,264,000).

13. (LOSS)/EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic (loss)/earnings per share is based on the loss attributable to shareholders of
HK$1,531,546,000 (2005: profit of HK$2,395,269,000) and the weighted average of 3,293,135,440 shares (2005:
2,164,208,891 shares) in issue during the year.
The diluted loss per share for 2006 equals to the basic loss per share since the exercise of the outstanding share
options would not have a dilutive effect on the loss per share. The diluted earnings per share for 2005 was calculated
based on the profit attributable to shareholders of HK$2,395,269,000 and the weighted average of 2,164,208,891
shares in issue plus 25,507,219 potential shares arising from share options.
14. DIVIDENDS

(a) On 22nd July 2005, the Company issued HK$2,544,240,000 fixed rate notes, which would mature on 21st
August 2006, with variable rates as part of consideration for the acquisition of Galaxy. On 14th January 2006,
holders for HK$2,371,805,000 of the fixed rate notes have agreed to amend the terms to extend the maturity
date of their notes from 21st August 2006 to 30th September 2008 and change the interest rate to a fixed rate of
6% per annum. On 22nd May 2006, the remaining HK$172,435,000 of the fixed rate notes, plus accrued interest
of HK$3,401,000, have been fully paid by the Group.
(b) On 14th December 2005, the Group, through its subsidiary, Galaxy Entertainment Finance Company Limited,
issued guaranteed senior fixed rate and floating rate notes with aggregate principal amount of US$600 million
(the ‘‘Guaranteed Notes’’). The fixed rate guaranteed senior notes with nominal value of US$350,000,000 carry
fixed interest at 9.875% per annum and will be fully repayable on 15th December 2012. The floating rate
guaranteed senior notes with nominal value of US$250,000,000 carry interest at six-month US Dollar London
Inter-Bank Offering Rate plus 5% and are fully repayable on 15th December 2010. The Guaranteed Notes are
listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.
The proceeds from the notes are restricted to be used for the repayment of a specific bank loan, interest
payments of the Guaranteed Notes, financing the construction and development of assets under construction,
and for general corporate purpose (note 26).

30. BORROWINGS (Continued)
(c) On 14th December 2006, the Company issued zero coupon convertible notes (the ‘‘Convertible Notes’’) with an
aggregate principal amount of US$240 million (approximately HK$1,872 million). The Convertible Notes are
unsecured, do not carry any interest and have a maturity date of 14th December 2011. Subject to the terms of
the Convertible Notes, the holders have the option to convert the Convertible Notes into ordinary shares of the
Company at any time on or after 14th June 2007 up to the maturity date at the initial conversion price of HK$9.36
per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion price is subject to a reset mechanism pursuant to the terms of
the Convertible Notes. Unless previously redeemed and cancelled, or converted, the Convertible Notes will be
redeemed at 100% of their principal amount on the maturity date. The Group may, at its option at any time after
14th December 2007 and prior to the maturity date, redeem the Convertible Notes in whole or in part, at 100% of
their principal amount subject to the terms of the Convertible Notes.
The proceeds from the Convertible Notes are restricted to be used for financing the construction and
development of assets under construction, and for general corporate purpose (note 26).
The fair value of the derivative under the Convertible Notes was estimated at the issue date by reference to the
Binomial model. The excess of net proceeds over the fair value of the derivative component is recognised as a
liability.
The liability under the Convertible Notes and the derivative component recognised in the balance sheet are
analysed as follows:
HK$’000
Nominal value of Convertible Notes (net of transaction cost) 1,846,213

Derivative component at the issue date (642,798)
Liability under the Convertible Notes at the issue date 1,203,415

Exchange difference (3,502)
Interest expense 5,464
At 31st December 2006 1,205,377
Interest expense on the Convertible Notes is calculated using the effective interest method by applying the
effective interest rate of 9.23%.
HK$’000
Derivative component at the issue date 642,798

Change in fair value (67,818)
Exchange difference (1,871)
At 31st December 2006 573,109

(c) (Continued)
The fair value of the derivative component is determined by reference to the Binomial model. The significant
assumptions used in the calculation of the fair values were as follows:
(i) The valuation is based on the assumption that the Convertible Notes will continue without default, delay in
payments and no earlier redemption.
(ii) The volatility of the share price of the Company is based on the share price movements for the six years
prior to the issuance of the Convertible Notes with expected volatility of 50%.
(iii) The risk free rate is based on the yield of Exchange Fund Notes as at the respective dates, with maturity in
accordance with the life of the Convertible Notes.
(iv) The expected dividend paid out rate is 0.1% during the life of the Convertible Notes.
(d) Obligations under finance leases
The finance lease obligations are payable in the following years:
