FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Fund performance
-- MPO's portfolio value declined 5.2%[1] over the 6-month period to US$320.2 million.
-- Adjusted NAV[2] declined 10.7% from 6 months earlier to US$188.2 million, translating to US$3.04 (239 pence[3]) per share.
-- IFRS NAV decreased by 16.9% over the period to US$143.1 million.

Capital management
-- Gross borrowings stood at US$148.1 million, equating to a loan-to-value ratio of 41.8%.
-- Cash balance was US$33.3 million, of which US$1.8 million was pledged as collateral for credit facilities.
-- Approximately US$50.5 million (GBP38.2 million) was distributed to shareholders in July, by way of a compulsory redemption of shares. This represented 62% of the net profit from the divestment of Senado Square, equivalent to 50 pence per share.
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
-- The Waterside
- The average monthly rent remained stable at US$2.74 per square foot, while occupancy declined to 53% as at 31 December 2018 as leasing activity in Macau's high-end residential market softened amid a slowdown in the VIP gaming sector.
-- The Fountainside
- In August, a car-parking space was sold for US$0.3 million, otherwise sales remained muted. Approval to reconfigure the villas and duplex units into more saleable smaller apartments and car-parking spaces is still pending.
-- Estrada da Penha
- Active marketing is being carried out to divest this exclusive asset, which stands to benefit from the planned economic integration of the Pearl River Delta region.
Mark Huntley, Chairman of Macau Property Opportunities Fund, says, "Our overriding aim is to deliver cost-effective and timely divestments of our remaining properties, including further returns of capital to our shareholders."
"It is important that we exercise a measure of patience as we work through the current volatility, supported by our strong capital base. During this time, focus remains on containing all manageable costs."
"China's recently announced initiative to develop the Pearl River Delta into a world-class city cluster of 11 cities will have a powerful cascading effect on the wider region, including Macau. Ambitious infrastructure projects - which form a strategic component of the plan - have always been a key factor influencing the Manager's approach to the timing of divestments."
"We remain confident of the quality of our portfolio and believe it is well-positioned to capitalise on an improvement in sentiment among prospective investors. Our approach is designed to ensure that we enhance our assets while continuing to maximise opportunities for divestment."

MACAU PROPERTY OPPORTUNITIES FUND LIMITED
INTERIM REPORT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIODED 31 DECEMBER 2018
CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
The six months to 31 December 2018 was a particularly challenging period for our Company. A weak Chinese stock market and increasingly stringent cross border capital controls, coupled with concerns over the pace of US interest rate rises and the US-China trade war, weighed heavily on Macau's luxury property sector. The fourth quarter was especially difficult.
The result was a marked drop-off in the number and size of transactions involving higher-priced properties, with anti-speculation mortgage restrictions affecting purchasing behaviour more significantly. In the near term, there are no signs that Macau's government will relax those restrictions.
Investors' fears at the end of 2018 may, however, prove to be overblown. Recently, there have been signs of policy adjustments that may slow increases in US interest rates. Trade talks between the US and China are continuing, and any positive developments could have a beneficial impact on sentiment. In the past week, China's central government issued its long term development plan for the Greater Bay Area, commencing an exciting new phase of economic integration for the Pearl River Delta region.
Asset enhancement and divestment approach
Against this backdrop, the Company is well-positioned to execute the divestment of its three remaining properties. Our approach is results-focused, ensuring that the appeal of each property to prospective investors is maximised, while adopting a very prudent approach towards such expenditure.
At The Waterside, modest but necessary refurbishments to some apartments are ongoing. Enhancements at Estrada da Penha have made a marked improvement to the appearance of the property. Reconfiguring the larger units at The Fountainside to meet the current demands of the market will also prove to be a sensible course of action.
Our Manager, Sniper Capital, is focused on the necessary steps to achieve successful sales to both Macau-based buyers and a broader international market. It is important that we exercise a measure of patience as we work through the current volatility, supported by our strong capital base. During this time, focus remains on containing all manageable costs.
By 31 December 2018, the value of our property portfolio had fallen for a second quarter to US$320 million, an accumulated 5.2% decrease over the six-month period. A major factor influencing valuations was a decline in the number of comparable transactions in the market.
Our target remains an orderly but well timed disposal of each asset. The Manager has demonstrated a strong track record in that regard, as reflected in the 85% of initial invested capital distributed since inception.
Corporate governance
Since my appointment as Chairman, we have carried out a review of the Company. We have made minor changes to the structure of our committees. We have also engaged with our service providers following the changes to our investment objectives agreed in 2018. Our overriding aim is to deliver cost-effective and timely divestments of our remaining properties, including further returns of capital to our shareholders.
Our Board provides a diversity of experience and geographical perspective, coupled with an essential understanding of the unique features of Macau and its property market. We have assessed that we have the capacity to fulfil our obligations in the context of the latest corporate governance guidelines, taking full account of the phase that the Company is in and its clearly defined business objectives.
We have also assessed our environmental, social and governance (ESG) obligations. Within the context of our clear strategic aims, we are satisfied that the Company, the Manager and our service providers have clear policies and procedures in place to operate the business in accordance with relevant ESG principles. It is also important to note that comprehensive anti-money laundering policies have always been in place and are regularly reviewed and updated where appropriate.
Conclusion
Much has been written about the growth of Macau and its enviable economic performance. It is important to consider the current headwinds in the context of how Macau, the only legal gaming jurisdiction on Chinese soil, has developed during the life of the Company. Measures including visa restrictions for Chinese visitors and anti-graft controls have had an impact in the past, and yet longer-term growth has continued.
The Greater Bay Area's development as a world-class city cluster will have a powerful cascading effect on the wider Pearl River Delta region, including Macau. Ambitious infrastructure projects - which form a strategic component of the plan - have always been a key factor influencing the Manager's approach to the timing of divestments. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge was opened by Chinese President Xi Jinping in October. Although its full benefits have yet to flow through to Macau's economy, we believe the relative ease, speed and comparably low cost of crossing the bridge will provide long-term support for Macau's growth.
We remain confident of the quality of our portfolio and believe it is well-positioned to capitalise on an improvement in sentiment among prospective investors. Our approach is designed to ensure that we enhance our assets while continuing to maximise opportunities for divestment.
Finally, I would like to thank MPO's former Chairman, Chris Russell, who stepped down in November. Under his stewardship, MPO emerged strengthened from a turbulent period for Macau's economy. I join with the rest of the Board and the executive management in wishing him the very best for the future.

Macau's economy continued to expand in 2018, albeit at a slower pace. Although China's ambitious Greater Bay Area plan, including the recently opened Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, are expected to be long-term drivers of the territory's economy and property market, near term sentiment in its luxury residential segment - to which MPO's remaining portfolio is exposed - has become cautious. This has resulted in a marked decline in property transaction volumes, which has hindered MPO's divestment strategy in the near term.
While investors and homeowners are adopting a "wait-and-see" approach, MPO is continuing to carry out various asset enhancement works at modest cost to ensure that the Company's remaining assets are well positioned for divestment opportunities. The Manager is actively utilising its various networks to implement divestment plans for each asset, in order to ensure they are well positioned in the market for sale.
Half-Year Financial Results
The value of MPO's portfolio, which now comprises three main assets, was US$320.2 million as at 31 December 2018. On a like-for-like comparison, this reflects a decline of 5.2% over the six-month period.
Adjusted Net Asset Value (NAV) was US$188.2 million, which translates to US$3.04 (239 pence) per share, a decline of 11% over the period. IFRS NAV was US$143.1 million as of the period end, equating to US$2.31 (182 pence) per share, a decline of 16.9%.
As at 31 December 2018, MPO's share price was 162 pence, representing a 32% discount to its Adjusted NAV per share.
Capital Management
As at 31 December 2018, MPO had total assets worth US$309.4 million, offsetting combined liabilities of US$166.3 million. Its consolidated cash balance was US$33.3 million, of which US$1.8 million was pledged as collateral for credit facilities. Gross borrowing stood at US$148.1 million, equating to a loan-to-value ratio of 41.8%.
In July 2018, the Company distributed to shareholders approximately US$50.5 million (GBP38.2 million) by way of a compulsory redemption of shares, utilising cash receipts from the disposal of Senado Square. The distribution was equivalent to 50 pence per share.
As the Company endeavours to execute its divestment plan, we will continue to adopt a prudent stance towards capital management, ensuring that we maintain a healthy balance sheet. We also remain very focused on containing costs, with debt facilities reviewed and refinanced where applicable to obtain the most cost-efficient terms.

** Calculation is based on adjusted figures made to 30 June 2018 to reflect like-for-like comparisons to 31 December 2018 due to property sales during the period.
The Waterside
The Waterside is MPO's landmark development in downtown Macau, with 59 luxury residential apartments for lease, all commanding panoramic views.
Leasing activity in Macau's high-end residential market has declined amid a slowdown in the VIP gaming sector. At the end of 2018, the occupancy level at The Waterside was approximately 53%, down 17% over the period, while the average rental rate remained stable at HK$21.42 (US$2.74) per square foot per month.
Although 10 new leases and nine lease renewals were secured during the period, 20 leases were terminated by tenants with links to the gaming industry. The Macau government's plans to introduce more stringent oversight of junket operators is leading some to carry out reviews of their business models. While this is expected to act as a near-term challenge for our leasing programme, the VIP gaming segment is notoriously volatile and has been known to rebound at short notice.
All efforts are being focused on rebuilding occupancy at The Waterside by offering attractive incentives to potential tenants. In the meantime, MPO's progressive asset enhancement programme is continuing, with a budget of some US$0.5 million for this financial year.
The Fountainside
The Fountainside is a low-density, freehold residential development comprising 42 homes and 30 car-parking spaces in Macau's popular Penha Hill district. 12 units and 9 car-parking spaces remain available for sale.
Macau's residential sales market remains muted due to stricter mortgage policies introduced by the government. Despite renewing our marketing of available apartments and car-parking spaces with special offers, buyers have remained cautious, although in August, a car-parking space was sold for HK$2.37 million (US$0.3 million).
A discernible trend in Macau's property market is the growing popularity of smaller, more affordable homes among younger locals. To enhance the marketability of the remaining units at The Fountainside, the Company has applied to Macau's authorities to reconfigure the six largest units into smaller apartments at an expected cost of US$3 million. 2 duplex units and the 4 villas will be converted into 12 smaller units plus 13 additional car-parking spaces. In addition, the gym will be relocated and enlarged.
Estrada da Penha
Estrada da Penha is a prestigious, colonial-style villa atop Penha Hill - an exclusive and highly sought-after residential enclave. This magnificent villa has a gross floor area of approximately 12,000 square feet spread across five storeys.
With the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the "Greater Bay Area" - the Chinese Government's scheme to link 11 cities in the Pearl River Delta region into an integrated economic and business hub - is clearly in focus, with much discussion about the shortened travel times and the consequent impact on property values. A recent softening of luxury residential property prices in Hong Kong may lead the region's niche group of ultra-high-net-worth buyers to expand their search for trophy homes to neighbouring and more attractively priced cities. Dedicated marketing efforts to promote Estrada da Penha are continuing, highlighting the extreme scarcity value of this exceptional location.
MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Positive GDP growth
In the first three quarters, Macau's GDP grew 5.6% year on year (YoY), with third-quarter GDP expanding by 1.6% YoY. The International Monetary Fund forecasts full-fiscal-year growth for the territory of 6.3%, while the Economist Intelligence Unit's growth forecast stands at 3.8%. These forecasts suggest slower expansion in Macau's economy than in 2017, during which GDP grew 9.1%.
That more muted growth is due mainly to a decline in construction investment, as many new casino resorts have been completed, and a notable slowdown in the growth of gaming service exports.
Slower economic expansion is expected to continue in 2019 as gaming revenue growth is forecast to slow further and limited new resort construction is scheduled. The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts 2.3% GDP growth for Macau in 2019.
Gross gaming revenue set to slow
Macau's gross gaming revenue (GGR), which turned positive in August 2016 after a two-year downturn, has now enjoyed more than two years of gains. Full-year GGR for 2018 increased by 14% to US$37.6 billion.
Analysts, however, are cautious about GGR in 2019. Morgan Stanley has revised down its GGR growth forecast for 2019 from 5% to -2%.
This more cautious outlook among analysts is shaped primarily by two major concerns. The first is that China's economy appears to be slowing, which will potentially impact Macau's gaming industry. The second is the ongoing anti-corruption campaign by China's central government, which has affected the VIP gaming market.
In addition, expiry dates for Macau's six casino concessions are on the horizon, with the first two - held respectively by SJM Holdings Ltd and its sub-concession holder, MGM China Holdings Ltd - due in 2020.
The government received a preliminary proposal for amending the existing gaming law in July. While it remains tight-lipped on the matter, it has indicated that any decisions will centre on how the gaming industry can help Macau achieve its vision of becoming a world centre for tourism and leisure.
Gaming operators continue to expand
Despite the uncertainties surrounding the future of their concessions, gaming operators continue to push ahead with expansion plans, with new integrated resorts set to open in 2019 and 2020, alongside additional capacity and facilities at existing resorts.
Notably, SJM Holdings' Grand Lisboa Palace, which is currently under construction in Cotai, is due to open in the second half of 2019, shortly before the expiry of the company's current gaming concession in 2020.
Nearby, the HK$5billion (US$640 million) Lisboeta, an integrated resort with an "old Macau" theme, is due to open in 2020. The 820-room resort will feature three hotels and a range of non-gaming activities.
Las Vegas Sands has announced that it will invest US$2.2 billion to upgrade three of its Cotai properties - the Four Seasons Tower Suites, St. Regis Tower Suites and The Londoner - through 2021. This is double the amount it previously announced in 2017.
Wynn Macau has also announced plans to add two hotel towers to the Wynn Palace Casino Resort in Cotai, increasing its guest room count from 1,700 currently to more than 3,000.
Macau continues to grow as a world-class tourism and leisure hub
Macau's appeal as a tourism and leisure destination continues to grow, supported by an increasing number of high-quality integrated resorts and the government's promotion of the meetings, incentives, conferences and events (MICE) sector.
In 2018, visitor arrivals to Macau grew 9.8% YoY to 35.8 million, the highest ever.
A total of 116 hotels and guesthouses were operating in Macau at the end of 2018, providing 39,000 hotel and guesthouse rooms, of which around 25,000 were five-star hotel rooms. The average occupancy rate had increased to 94.7% by the end of the year, up 1.1 percentage points YoY. The average daily room rate had risen to US$179 (MOP1,443) by December 2018, a 4.6% YoY increase. For full-year 2018, the average occupancy rate increased 3.9 percentage points YoY to 91.1%.
Macau's tourism office recently said that the city should add around 1,000 new guestrooms annually in order to drive more overnight visitors.
A total of 966 MICE events took place in Macau during the first three quarters of 2018, attracting around 1.39 million participants and attendees, up 14.8% YoY. This rapid growth reflects the government's efforts to prioritise the MICE sector as a major component of non-gaming revenues.
Greater Bay Area plan to spur long term growth
In the recently published "Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", China set out its ambitious strategy to promote close cooperation among 11 cities in the Pearl River Delta region, including Macau and Hong Kong, with the goal of developing a world-class city cluster of close to 70 million people. In the plan, Macau featured prominently and was named as one of the four "core cities" of the Greater Bay Area along with Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Large scale infrastructure projects are at the forefront of the Greater Bay Area initiative with the aim of improving connectivity with the rest of China and within the Pearl River Delta region itself. In the second half of 2018, two major infrastructure projects were completed and began operations: a high-speed rail link from Hong Kong to Guangzhou and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
The rail link is the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link that links West Kowloon in Hong Kong with Shenzhen and shortens the travel time from one hour to a mere 15 minutes.
The US$20 billion Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge was declared open by Chinese President Xi Jinping on 23 October. The 55km bridge - the world's longest sea crossing - connects Macau to Hong Kong, and is one of a series of Chinese government infrastructure initiatives to integrate and connect the Greater Bay Area. The bridge's gateway to Macau is strategically located adjacent to Hong Kong International Airport, the world's eighth-busiest air hub. It significantly improves access to Macau for visitors arriving via Hong Kong's airport, making the territory much easier to reach than via the existing ferry services, offering a travel time of just 40 minutes via buses that run every 5 minutes during peak hours.
The considerable improvements in connectivity to Macau are collectively potential game-changers for the territory's economy, likely to boost mass-market gaming revenues and drive growth in non-gaming segments such as MICE, retail, food and beverage.
With visitor arrivals to Macau hitting a record 35.8 million people in 2018, moving tourists around the territory itself has become a priority for the Macau government. The vastly delayed Taipa-Cotai section of the city's light rail transit system is due to become operational in the second half of 2019.
Risks and uncertainties
Although Macau's economy is expected to maintain growth this year, we are cognisant of the potential headwinds that may impact the economy generally and the property market in particular.
US-China trade war
The ongoing trade war between the United States and China has caused many investors to adopt a "wait-and-see" attitude towards purchases of big-ticket items, including property. As investors await clarity on the progress of US-China trade negotiations, an air of uncertainty has also hung over the Macau casino concessions of the three US-based companies operating in the territory.
Softening regional markets and Hong Kong's property sector
Hong Kong's residential property market appears to be undergoing for a correction, with the city's home price index falling 3.5% in November 2018 - the sharpest monthly decline since November 2008. The index dropped another 2.4% to 358.4 in December 2018, which represents a 1.6% increase YoY.
Potential further interest rate rises
In lockstep with interest rate increases by the US Federal Reserve in 2018, the Monetary Authority of Macao raised its base rate four times over the year, from 1.75% to 2.75%, with some banks increasing their prime lending rates accordingly. This may have a greater impact on higher-priced properties as potential investors and upgraders continue to delay purchasing decisions.
Continued anti-corruption campaign and more stringent capital outflow restrictions
China's long-running anti-corruption campaign, coupled with increasingly stringent mainland Chinese capital controls, continues to dampen the VIP gaming market in Macau, which as a percentage of GGR fell from a peak of 73% in 2011 to around 55% in 2018. Some high-rollers have stayed away from Macau to avoid central government scrutiny. Junket operators have also had to contend with increased regulation by Macau's authorities.
Uncertainty over gaming concessions with looming expiry dates
Another risk is a lack of clarity over the future of the gaming industry in Macau, with the territory's six concession holders facing the end of their licence periods between 2020 and 2022. Macau's government has not indicated whether their licences will be renewed and, if so, on what terms. This has led to uncertainty in the market, especially for SJM Holdings Ltd and MGM China Holdings Ltd, whose concessions expire in 2020.
PROPERTY MARKET OVERVIEW
Although headline figures suggest Macau's property market remained robust in 2018, the data is skewed by the fact that activity was dominated by first-time buyers seeking smaller, lower-priced units. Macau's average home prices reached HK$10,033 (US$1,282) per square foot in 2018, up 10.6% YoY. The number of residential units transacted totalled 10,585 for the full year, an increase of 1.3% from the previous year. Transaction volumes for luxury and higher-priced units, however, dropped significantly due to anti-speculation mortgage policies, capital outflow restrictions in China, and general economic uncertainty.
First-time buyers dominate the market
In the primary market, new property launches of smaller, lower-priced units attracted mainly first-time buyers, who accounted for nearly 70% of transactions in 2018. Macau residents aged between 21 and 44 years are now able to borrow up to 90% of a property's value, and many took advantage of that incentive to make their debut in the city's property market.
Luxury residential segment remains subdued
In the secondary market, especially that for larger luxury properties, to which MPO is predominantly exposed, sentiment is still muted as buyers remain cautious amid a climate of general uncertainty. Property investors face measures such as increased stamp duties for second and third properties as the government has moved to curb speculation in the real estate market. As uncertainty weighs on Macau's economy, property values and borrowing costs, buyers are hesitant when it comes to making new investments and commitments.
Looking ahead
China's Greater Bay Area integration plan will bring significant benefits to the Pearl River Delta, stimulating economic growth and strengthening investor confidence in the region. As the full potential of major infrastructure projects is progressively realised, Macau stands to reap the benefits through further economic expansion. This will have a positive impact on property prices over the long term.
In the short term, first-time buyers will continue to dominate the real estate market, with the acquisition of smaller, lower-priced properties that benefit from more generous mortgage allowances. Investors and upgraders affected by a mortgage cap on transactions worth more than MOP8 million, however, are likely to maintain a "wait-and-see" attitude until there is increased clarity in the macro-economic environment.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the six-month period from 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2018
General information
Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited (the "Company") is a Company incorporated and registered in Guernsey under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 1994. This law was replaced by the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 on 1 July 2008. The Company is an authorised entity under the Authorised Closed-Ended Investment Schemes Rules 2008 and is regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. The address of the registered office is given below.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2018 comprise the interim financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Group invests in residential and commercial properties and property-related ventures primarily in Macau.
There have been no changes to the Group's principal risks and uncertainties in the six-month period to 31 December 2018 and the Board of Directors does not anticipate any changes to the principal risks and uncertainties in the second half of the year. Principal risks and uncertainties are further discussed in the Manager's Report.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars ("US$") and are rounded to the nearest thousand ($'000).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 February 2019.
1. Significant accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union; applicable legal and regulatory requirements of Guernsey Law and under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and derivative financial instruments. The accounting policies and valuation principles adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the annual financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of 30 June 2018.
New and amended standards and interpretations applied
The following amendments to existing standards and interpretations were effective for the year ended 30 June 2019 and therefore were applied in the current period but did not have a material impact on the Group:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
Going concern
The Group continues to meet its capital requirements and day-to-day liquidity needs through the Group's cash resources. As part of their assessment of the going concern of the Group as at 31 December 2018, the Directors have reviewed the comprehensive cash flow forecasts prepared by management which make assumptions based upon current and expected future market conditions, including predicted future sales of properties. It is the Directors' belief that, based upon these forecasts and their assessment of the Group's committed banking facilities, it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements of the Group on a going concern basis.
The Directors, after the continuation resolution was passed at a General Meeting of the Company on 5 July 2018 extending the Fund's life until November 2019, assessed whether the continuation vote before the end of 2019 gives rise to a material uncertainty that might cast significant doubt on the Fund's ability to continue as a going concern. The Directors have also considered the going concern assumption outside the primary going concern horizon. The Directors currently expect to receive continuation support from major shareholders and over 50% of shareholder support is required to ensure continuation; it is likely that returns from the sale of properties could well be significantly lower if the Fund was forced to sell as a result of discontinuation and it is therefore commercially rational for the Fund to continue in business. Therefore, the Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements of the Group on the going concern basis based upon existing cash resources, the forecasts described above, the extension of the life of the Company until November 2019 agreed at the Annual General Meeting on 5 July 2018 and the Directors' assessment of the Group's committed banking facilities and expected continuing compliance with related covenants.
Seasonal and cyclical variations
The Group does not operate in an industry where significant or cyclical variations as a result of seasonal activity are experienced during the financial year.
2. Segment reporting
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") in relation to Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited is deemed to be the Board itself. The factors used to identify the Group's reportable segments are centred on asset class, differences in geographical area and differences in regulatory environment. Furthermore, foreign exchange and political risk are identified, as these also determine where resources are allocated.
Based on the above and a review of information provided to the Board, it has been concluded that the Group is currently organised into one reportable segment based on the single geographical sector, Macau.
This segment includes residential, commercial and mixed-use properties. Furthermore, there are multiple individual properties that are held within each property type. However, the CODM considers on a regular basis the operating results and resource allocation of the aggregated position of all property types as a whole, as part of their on-going performance review. This is supported by a further breakdown of individual property groups only to help support their review and investment appraisal objectives.

Valuation gains and losses from investment property are recognised in profit and loss for the period and are attributable to changes in unrealised gains or losses relating to investment property (completed and under construction) held at the end of the reporting period.
The valuation process is initiated by the Investment Adviser with the Board consent and approval, who appoints a suitably qualified valuer to conduct the valuation of the investment property. The results are overseen by the Investment Adviser. Once satisfied with the valuations based on their expectations, the Investment Adviser reports the results to the Board. The Board periodically meets with the valuer and reviews the latest valuations based on their knowledge of the property market and compare these to previous valuations.
The Group's investment properties were revalued at 31 December 2018 by independent, professionally-qualified valuers: Savills (Macau) Limited ("Savills"). The valuation has been carried out in accordance with the current Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Appraisal and Valuation Standards to calculate the market value of the investment properties in their existing state and physical condition, with the assumptions that:
-- The owner sells the property in the open market without any arrangement, which could serve to affect the value of the property.
-- The property is held for investment purposes.
-- The property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect its value.
The fair value of investment property is determined by Savills, using recognised valuation techniques. The technique deployed was the income capitalisation method. The determination of the fair value of investment property requires the use of estimates such as future cash flows from assets (such as lettings, tenants' profiles, future revenue streams, capital values of fixtures and fittings, plant and machinery, any environmental matters and the overall repair and condition of the property) and discount rates applicable to those assets. These estimates are based on local market conditions existing at the reporting date.
See Note 12 in relation to deferred tax liabilities on investment property.
Capital expenditure in the period relates to the fit-out costs for The Waterside.
Rental income arising from The Waterside of US$1,502,000 (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$1,348,000, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$2,898,000) was received during the period. Direct operating expenses of US$549,000 (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$483,000, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$1,010,000) arising from The Waterside that generated rental income were incurred during the six-month period. Direct operating expenses during the period arising from vacant units totalled US$120,000 (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$105,000, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$195,000).
The table below shows the assumptions used in valuing the investment properties which are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

The fair value of The Waterside is determined using the income approach, more specifically a term and reversion analysis, where a property's fair value is estimated based on the rent receivable and normalised net operating income generated by the property, which is divided by the capitalisation (discount) rate. The difference between gross and net rental income includes the same expense categories as those for the discounted cash flow method with the exception that certain expenses are not measured over time, but included on the basis of a time weighted average, such as the average lease up costs. Under the income capitalisation method, over and under-rent situations are separately capitalised (discounted).
If the estimated reversionary rent increased/decreased by 5%, (and all other assumptions remained the same), the fair value of The Waterside would increase by US$12 million (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$12 million, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$12 million) or decrease by US$12 million (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$12 million, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$12 million).
If the term and reversionary yields or discount rates increased/decreased by 5%, (and all other assumptions remained the same), the fair value of The Waterside would decrease by US$11 million (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$12 million, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$12 million) or increase by US$12 million (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$13 million, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$13 million).
The same valuation method was deployed in June 2018 and December 2018.
The Waterside is currently valued at its highest and best use. There is no extra evidence available to suggest that it has an alternative use that would provide a greater fair value measurement.
There have been no transfers between levels during the period or any change in valuation technique since the last period.
4. Deposits with lenders
Pledged bank balances represent deposits pledged to the banks to secure the banking facilities and interest rate swaps granted to the Group. Deposits amounting to US$1.6 million (31 December 2017: US$3.2 million, 30 June 2018: US$1.8 million) have been pledged to secure long-term banking facilities and are, therefore, classified as non-current assets. There are no other significant terms and conditions associated with these pledged bank balances.

Financing costs of US$nil (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$262,000, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$369,000) relating to Senado Square loan facility were capitalised during the period, including US$nil (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$262,000, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$369,000) of interests capitalised to the property.
During the year ended 30 June 2018, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Promissory Transfer Agreement to sell Senado Square through the transfer of the entire issued share capital of Macau (Site 1) Limited and the assignment of shareholder loans to the purchaser for a consideration of US$102.2 million (HK$800 million) pursuant to the Circular. The total costs of Senado Square at disposal was US$17.7 million (HK$138.4 million). The transaction was completed on 26 March 2018 and resulted in a net profit of US$84.5 million (HK$661.6 million).

Bank Loan Interest
Bank loan interest paid during the period was US$3,252,000 (6 months ended 31 December 2017: US$2,488,000, 12 months ended 30 June 2018: US$5,141,000), including US$nil (31 December 2017: US$262,000, 30 June 2018: US$369,000) capitalised during the period (see Note 5).

Fair Value
The fair value of fixed rate financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost are estimated by comparing market interest rates when they were first recognised with current market rates for similar financial instruments.
The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing loans is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing market interest rates for debts with similar credit risk and maturity. As at 31 December 2018, the fair value of the financial liabilities was US$194,000 higher than the carrying value of the financial liabilities (31 December 2017: US$258,000 higher than the carrying value of the financial liabilities, 30 June 2018: US$141,000 higher than the carrying value of the financial liabilities).
The Group's interest-bearing loans have been classified within Level 2 as they have observable inputs from similar loans. There have been no transfers between levels during the period or any change in valuation technique since last period.
