(predecessor companyMocha Slot Group Limited), the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and as of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

ITEM3. KEY INFORMATION

A. Selected Financial Data

The following selected historical consolidated statement of operations data for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (predecessor),
the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the selected historical consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 have been derived from our
audited financial statements which are in this annual report on Form 20-F beginning on page F-1. The selected historical consolidated statement of operations data for the period from March 20, 2003 (date of incorporation) to December 31,
2003 (predecessor) and the selected historical consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2003 (predecessor) are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements not included in this annual report on Form 20-F. You should read
the selected historical consolidated financial data in conjunction with those financial statements and accompanying notes and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. Our historical consolidated financial statements are
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our historical results do not necessarily indicate our results expected for any future periods.

From June 9, 2004 for Mocha, July 20, 2004 for Melco Hotels and November 9, 2004 for Great Wonders through March 7, 2005, the financial statements reflect the consolidated financial statements of
Mocha, Melco Hotels and Great Wonders because they were under common control for this period. The contributions by Melco of its 80% interest in Mocha Slot Group Limited, or Mocha, 70% interest in Great Wonders and 50.8% interest in the City of
Dreams project to MPBL (Greater China), a company 80% indirectly owned by us and 20% owned by Melco, and cash contributions by PBL of US$163 million, which were completed on March 8, 2005, were accounted for as the formation of a joint venture
for which a carryover basis of accounting has been adopted.

The consolidated financial statements of Mocha for the period from
March 20, 2003 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2003 and the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 have been prepared for the purpose of presenting the financial information of our predecessor, Mocha. Mocha is
considered as our predecessor because we succeeded to substantially all of the business of Mocha and our own operations prior to the succession were insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired.

|* | Figures not provided as the number of shares of our predecessor Mocha and our company are not directly comparable.
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(1) | Each ADS represents three ordinary shares.
|--- | ------------------------------------------

|(2) | Weighted average number of gaming machines for any period/year represents the sum of the number of gaming machines in service at the Mocha Clubs on each day during such period/year
divided by the number of days in such period/year.

|(3) | Average daily net win per machine for any period/year represents the total gaming machine win during such period/year divided by the weighted average number of gaming machines in
service during such period/year. Gaming machine win is the excess of the amount of money deposited by players into the gaming machine over the amount of money paid out of the gaming machine to players. Prior to MPBL Gaming obtaining its
subconcession in September 2006, Mocha Slot provided management services to the Mocha Clubs under service agreements with SJM. Mocha Slot received 31% of gaming machine win as its revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, while SJM retained 31% of
gaming machine win, and Macau taxes and other government dues accounted for the remaining 38%. After the subconcession was granted and these service agreements were terminated with effect from September 21, 2006, we now reflect all the gaming
machine win as our revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, but we are subject to Macau taxes and other government dues currently totaling 39% of gaming machine win.

|(4) | Operating EBITDA is presented for the results of the Mocha Clubs only as our sole operating business and is reconciled to consolidated net income as described at note 20 of our
audited consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (predecessor), period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 (successor) and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006

Exchange Rate Information

Although we will have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas, our revenues and expenses will be denominated predominantly in Hong Kong dollars and in connection with a significant portion of our
indebtedness and certain expenses, U.S. dollars. Periodic reports made to shareholders will be expressed in U.S. dollars using the then current exchange rates. The conversion of Hong Kong dollars into U.S. dollars in this annual report on Form 20-F
is based on the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of Hong Kong dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Hong Kong dollars to U.S.
dollars and from U.S. dollars to Hong Kong dollars in this annual report on Form 20-F were made at a rate of HK$7.78 to US$1.00. The noon buying rate in effect as of December 29, 2006 was HK$7.7771 to US$1.00. We make no representation that any
Hong Kong dollars or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars, as the case may be, at any particular rate, the rates stated below, or at all. On March 29, 2007, the noon buying rate was
HK$7.8127 to US$1.00.

The Hong Kong dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). Since October 7,
1983, the Hong Kong dollar has been officially linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80 to US$1.00. The link is supported by an agreement between Hong Kongs three bank note-issuing banks and the Hong Kong government pursuant to which
bank notes issued by such banks are backed by certificates of indebtedness purchased by such banks from the Hong Kong Government Exchange Fund with U.S. dollars at the fixed exchange rate of HK$7.80 to US$1.00 and held as cover for the bank notes
issue. When bank notes are withdrawn from circulation, the issuing bank surrenders certificates of indebtedness to the Hong Kong Government Exchange Fund and is paid the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars at the fixed rate of exchange. Hong
Kongs three bank note-issuing banks are The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited.

In May 2005, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority broadened the link from the original rate of HK$7.80 per US$1.00 to a rate range of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per US$1.00. No assurance can be given that the Hong Kong government
will maintain the link at HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per US$1.00 or at all.

Risks Relating to Our Early Stage of Development

We are in an early stage of development of our business and properties, and so we are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Our limited
operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future operating results and prospects.

In significant respects
we remain in a developmental phase of our business and there is limited historical information available about our company upon which you can base your evaluation of our business and prospects. In particular, we are still in the process of
developing the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams, with neither project yet completed and generating any revenue and the City of Dreams project in very early stages of development. The Macau Peninsula project is at an even more preliminary design
stage. The Mocha Club business, which we acquired in 2005, did not commence operations until 2003 and is currently our only revenue generating operation. MPBL Gaming only recently acquired its subconcession in September 2006 and previously did not
have any direct experience operating casinos in Macau. As a result, you should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges that we will face as an early-stage company seeking to develop and operate major new
development projects and gaming businesses in a rapidly growing and intensely competitive market.

Among other things, we are still in the
process of:



| |  |  | completing the financing of our City of Dreams project;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | completing the construction contract for our City of Dreams project;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | obtaining the formal grant of a land concession from the Macau government for the City of Dreams site on terms that are acceptable to us;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtaining the approval from the Macau government to increase the developable gross floor area of the City of Dreams site; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acquiring an ownership interest in the company that owns the Macau Peninsula site, which is subject to significant conditions in the control of third parties
unrelated to us and the seller and to Macau governmental approvals, and obtaining financing commitments for the acquisition and development of the Macau Peninsula project.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage companies, and those risks and
difficulties may be heightened in a rapidly developing market such as the gaming market in Macau. Some of the risks relate to our ability to:



| |  |  | complete our construction projects within their anticipated time schedules and budgets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain a land concession for the City of Dreams project on terms that are acceptable to us;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain an extension of the deadline for completion of development on the site for the Macau Peninsula project;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain formal occupancy licenses for the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | identify suitable locations and enter into new lease agreements for new Mocha Clubs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | attract and retain customers and qualified employees;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | operate, support, expand and develop our operations and our facilities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintain effective control of our operating costs and expenses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | raise additional capital, if required;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | develop and maintain internal personnel, systems and procedures to assure compliance with the extensive regulatory requirements applicable to the gaming business as
well as regulatory compliance as a public company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | respond to changes in our regulatory environment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | respond to competitive market conditions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

If we are unable to complete any of these tasks, we may be unable to complete and operate any of our projects and businesses in the manner we contemplate and generate revenues in the amounts and by the times we anticipate. We may also be
unable to meet the conditions to draw on one or more of our existing financing facilities in order to fund our development, construction and acquisition activities or may suffer a default under one or more of our financing facilities. If any of
these events were to occur, it would cause a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

We could encounter problems that substantially increase the costs to develop our projects and delay or prevent the
opening of one or more of our projects.

The anticipated costs and targeted completion date for the Crown Macau are based on
budgets, architectural and construction plans and schedule estimates that we have prepared with the assistance of architects and contractors. The current total project development budget for the Crown Macau project is estimated to be US$583.6
million, which includes the value of land for the project site both contributed to us in kind and partly paid for by us, land premium costs and construction costs, furniture, fixtures and equipment expenses, or FF&E, pre-opening expenses,
capitalized fees and finance costs, cage cash and initial working capital requirements. The budget estimated for the City of Dreams project are based on preliminary projections and budgets, conceptual design documents and schedule estimates that we
have prepared with the assistance of our architects and contractors and are subject to change as the plans and design documents are finalized. The current total project development budget for both phases of the City of Dreams, inclusive of land,
construction, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs, and initial working capital requirements (including cage cash), is currently estimated to be approximately US$2.1 billion. However, we anticipate an increase in the
total project development budget for the City of Dreams. See Item 4B. Business OverviewOur PropertiesThe City of Dreams. The cost of a second block of apartments has not been included in the current total project development
budget for the City of Dreams. The total project costs for the Macau Peninsula project are based on preliminary estimates and conceptual designs and estimated project costs may be adjusted significantly as we begin to firm up our design plans and
hire contractors for this project.

All our projects are subject to significant development and construction risks, which could have a
material adverse impact on our project timetables and costs and our ability to complete the projects. These risks include the following:



| |  |  | changes to plans and specifications;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | engineering problems, including defective plans and specifications;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shortages of, and price increases in, energy, materials and skilled and unskilled labor, and inflation in key supply markets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in obtaining or inability to obtain necessary permits, licenses and approvals;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in laws and regulations, or in the interpretation and enforcement of laws and regulations, applicable to gaming, leisure, residential, real estate
development or construction projects;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | labor disputes or work stoppages;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | disputes with and defaults by contractors and subcontractors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | environmental, health and safety issues, including site accidents;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | weather interferences or delays;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | fires, typhoons and other natural disasters;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | geological, construction, excavation, regulatory and equipment problems; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other unanticipated circumstances or cost increases.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

The occurrence of any of these development and construction risks could increase the total costs, delay or prevent the construction or opening or otherwise affect the design and features of any or all of our projects,
which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For example, primarily as a result of changes and improvements in the designs

##### Table of Contents

for the Crown Macau, our construction costs have increased and we have negotiated with the general contractor, Paul Y.
Construction Company Limited, or Paul Y. Construction, for an amendment of the total contract price from the original HK$1,448.0 million (US$186.1 million) to approximately HK$2.1 billion (US$269.9 million). In addition, we originally anticipated
that the total project development costs for the Crown Macau would be US$512.6 million. More recently, we projected that additional costs of approximately US$71 million will be incurred on the Crown Macau project for a total of US$583.6 million. The
increase in budgeted costs is in three principal areas: pre-opening and property marketing expenses; FF&E expenses for the casino operations; and design and fit-out expenses for the hotel and casino areas. We cannot guarantee you that our
construction costs or total projects costs will not be increased.

Costs of key construction inputs are increasing in Macau and we believe
they are likely to continue to increase during the construction period of our projects, primarily due to the significant increase in building activity in Macau. Our contractors may not be able to secure lower cost labor and other inputs from
mainland China on a timely basis and in an adequate amount, as they will need to obtain required licenses from the Macau government to do so. The application for such licenses, if granted at all, may take several weeks or months. Continuing
increases in input costs of construction in Macau will increase the risk that contractors will fail to perform under their contracts on time, within budget, or at all, and could increase the costs of any new contracts that we may enter into for the
City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects.

Failure to finalize and draw upon our City of Dreams Project Facility would require us to find
alternative funding sources, could result in less attractive financing terms and could delay or preclude the construction of the City of Dreams.

MPBL Gaming has entered into a commitment letter with certain banks as arrangers for up to US$1.6 billion senior secured term loans to construct the City of Dreams project, or the City of Dreams Project Facility. The
commitment letter is not a binding agreement to provide us loans under the City of Dreams Project Facility and remains subject to the execution of definitive documentation, negotiation of material terms and conditions and syndication, due diligence,
receipt of requisite Macau government approvals (principally for the land concession for the City of Dreams site and the granting of security to the lenders), receipt of certain credit ratings and several other material conditions precedent to
closing and funding. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsB. Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancing ActivitiesDescription of Our Indebtedness. We currently estimate that we will be in a position to
borrow under the City of Dreams Project Facility in the second quarter of 2007. However, there can be no assurance that the definitive terms and conditions of the facility will not differ materially from those currently contemplated or that all the
conditions to close and fund will be met by that time or at all. If we were unable to finalize and borrow under the City of Dreams Project Facility, we may have to:



| |  |  | seek waivers from our lenders,
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | find a new group of lenders and negotiate new financing terms, or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consider other financing alternatives.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

If required, it is possible that new financing would not be available or would have to be procured on substantially less attractive terms, which could damage the economic viability of the City of Dreams project. The need to arrange such
alternative financing would likely also delay the construction of the City of Dreams, which would affect our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

We may require more debt or equity financing, which could require us to incur substantial additional indebtedness or sell additional ADSs or other equity securities. Our ability to obtain additional financing
may be limited, which could delay or prevent the opening of one or more of our projects.

We may require more debt and equity
funding to complete our projects, fund initial operating activities and debt service payments and fund anticipated expansion of the Mocha Clubs operations, depending on whether our projects are completed within budget, the timing of completion and
commencement of revenue generating operations at our projects, any further investments and/or acquisitions we may make, and the amount of cash flow from our operations. If delays and cost overruns were significant, the

##### Table of Contents

additional funding we would require could be substantial. The raising of additional debt funding by us, if required,
would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in additional operating and financing covenants, or liens on our assets, that would restrict our operations. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional
dilution to our shareholders.

Our ability to obtain required capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties,
including:



| |  |  | limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, including as a result of prospective lenders evaluations of our creditworthiness and pursuant to
restrictions on incurrence of debt in our existing and anticipated credit facilities, which currently prohibits MPBL Gaming and will prohibit Great Wonders and Melco Hotels from incurring additional indebtedness with only limited exceptions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investors and lenders perception of, and demand for, debt and equity securities of gaming, leisure and hospitality companies, as well as the offerings
of competing financing and investment opportunities in Macau by our competitors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether it is necessary to provide credit support or other assurances from Melco and PBL on terms and conditions and in amounts that are commercially acceptable to
them;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | MPBL Gamings ability to obtain consent from the Macau government as required under our subconcession contract;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | conditions of the U.S., Macau, Hong Kong, and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requirements for approval for certain transactions from Macau, Hong Kong or Australian authorities, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and/or shareholders of Melco and/or
PBL;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Macau governmental regulation of gaming in Macau; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | economic, political and other conditions in Macau, China and the Asian region.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Without necessary capital, we may not be able to:
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | complete the development of our existing projects, acquire and develop new projects or open new Mocha Clubs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acquire necessary rights, assets or businesses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expand our operations in Macau;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | hire, train and retain employees;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | market our programs, services and products; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated funding requirements.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot assure you that necessary financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we fail to raise additional funds
in such amounts and at such times as we may need, we may be forced to reduce our expenditures and growth to a level that can be supported by our cash flow and delay the development of our projects or expansion of the Mocha Club operations, which may
result in our inability to meet drawing conditions under our loan facilities or default and exercise of remedies by the lenders under our loan facilities, whose loans we expect to be secured by liens on substantially all the shares and assets of our
subsidiaries. In that event, we would be unable to complete our projects under construction and could suffer a partial or complete loss of our investments in our projects.

Even if our development projects are completed as planned and new Mocha Clubs are opened, they may not be
financially successful, which would limit our cash flow and would adversely affect our operations and our ability to repay our debt.

Even if our development projects are completed as planned and new Mocha Clubs are opened, they still may not be financially successful ventures or generate the cash flows that we anticipate. We may not attract the level of patronage that we
are seeking. If any of our projects does not attract sufficient business, this will limit our cash flow and would adversely affect our operations and our ability to service payments under our loan facilities.

Risks Relating to the Completion and Operation of Our Projects

The total contract price under our construction contract for the Crown Macau project has already been increased and may increase further due to costs for changes and variations that we are required to bear under the contract.

Our construction contract with Paul Y. Construction for the Crown Macau project provides that the total contract price may be
increased and the deadline for the contractors obligation to complete construction may be further adjusted under certain circumstances, including variations from the assumptions on which the total contract price is based and change orders
issued by us. For example, as a result of changes and improvements in the designs for the Crown Macau, our construction costs have increased and we have negotiated the amendment of the total contract price from the original HK$1,448.0 million
(US$186.1 million) to approximately HK$2.1 billion (US$269.9 million). Additional variations from the premises and assumptions on which the total contract price were based and further change orders dictated by us could cause us to be responsible for
costs in excess of the total contract price in certain circumstances. Factors that could cause the contract price to be further increased include design improvements and upgrades on the standards of the work and quality of materials. We may also be
subject to potential claims for variations from subcontractors under the construction contract, which could also result in a higher total contract price than originally expected. Any additional significant increase in the total contract price under
our construction contract for the Crown Macau project beyond which we currently anticipate may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, construction contracts for the City of
Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects will be subject to similar provisions that could result in our having to bear increases in contract prices, which could be material.

The liquidated damages provision in our construction contract for the Crown Macau project is unlikely to be sufficient to protect us against exposure to actual damages we may suffer for delay in completion of
the project. The financial resources of our contractor and its parent company may be insufficient to fund liquidated damages for which they are responsible under the construction contract and the parents guarantee.

Under the construction contract with Paul Y. Construction for the Crown Macau project, the scheduled date of practical completion for the Crown Macau
project is on or before the end of April 2007. We recently announced that the Crown Macau is targeted to complete construction and open on a trial basis on April 28, 2007 and scheduled to formally open to the public on May 9, 2007 and a
grand opening event will be held on May 12, 2007. However, we cannot guarantee you that we will complete construction by that date or open the Crown Macau by the scheduled date. Subject to permitted extensions, if all work required by the
construction contract is not practically completed by the deadline, the contract provides for liquidated damages in the amount of HK$250,000 (approximately US$32,134) per day for the mass market casino floors and certain parts of the hotel and
HK$100,000 (approximately US$12,853) per day for the VIP casino floors and the remaining parts of the hotel, to be imposed until the completion date certificate is signed by Great Wonders, our subsidiary that holds the land of the Crown Macau.
Permitted extensions include requests for variations from the contract by us, the occurrence of a force majeure event, and any delay, impediment or prevention of Paul Y. Constructions work by us. We cannot assure you that construction will be
completed on schedule. If completion of construction were delayed beyond the grace period, our actual damages, including lost revenues, would likely exceed the amount of liquidated damages. We do not maintain delayed commercial operation insurance
for the Crown Macau operations.

##### Table of Contents

If Paul Y. Construction defaults under the construction contract, we may be unable to complete the Crown
Macau project on schedule or within the amount budgeted, or at all. Failure to complete construction on schedule could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition and our ability to satisfy our obligations
under the Great Wonders Project Facility and the City of Dreams Project Facility.

Paul Y. Engineering Group Limited (formerly known as
Skynet (International Group) Holdings Limited), or PYE, the parent company of Paul Y. Construction, has agreed to provide a parent company guarantee of Paul Y. Constructions performance under the Crown Macau construction contract until final
payment. We cannot assure you that Paul Y. Construction and PYE will have sufficient financial resources to fund their obligations or liquidated damages for which they may be responsible under the construction contract and guarantee.
Furthermore, neither Paul Y. Construction nor PYE is contractually obligated to maintain financial resources to cover its potential obligations under the construction contract and guarantee. If Paul Y. Construction and PYE do not have the resources
to meet their obligations and we are unable to obtain remedies under the construction contract or the guarantee in a timely manner to cover cost overruns as a result of their default, we may be forced to pay these excess costs in order to complete
construction of the Crown Macau.

Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all losses that we may suffer at our projects. In addition, our
insurance costs may increase and we may not be able to obtain the same insurance coverage in the future.

If we incur loss or damage
for which we are held liable for amounts exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage, or for claims outside the scope of our insurance coverage, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. For example,
certain casualty events, such as labor strikes, nuclear events, acts of war, loss of income due to cancellation of conventions or room reservations arising from fear of terrorism, deterioration or corrosion, insect or animal damage and pollution may
not be covered under our policies. As a result, certain acts and events could expose us to significant uninsured losses. In addition to the damages caused directly by a casualty loss such as fire, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, we may
suffer a disruption of our business as a result of these events or be subject to claims by third parties who may be injured or harmed. While we intend to carry business interruption insurance and general liability insurance, such insurance may not
be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and, in any event, may not be adequate to cover all losses that may result from such events.

For the construction of the Crown Macau, we and Paul Y. Construction have obtained insurance policies providing coverage for construction risks that we believe are typically insured in the construction of gaming and
hospitality projects in Macau and Hong Kong. However, this insurance coverage excludes certain types of loss and damage, such as loss or damage from acts of terrorism or liability for death or illness caused by contagious or infectious diseases. If
loss or damage of those types were to occur, we could suffer significant uninsured losses. For the construction of the City of Dreams, we have recently secured a construction insurance policy and employees compensation insurance policy similar
to those we have secured for the Crown Macau. The cost of coverage, however, may in the future become so high that we may be unable to obtain the insurance policies we deem necessary for the construction and operation of our projects on commercially
practicable terms, or at all, or we may need to reduce our policy limits or agree to certain exclusions from our coverage. We cannot assure you that any such insurance policies we may obtain will be adequate to protect us from material losses.

Construction at our projects is subject to hazards that may cause personal injury or loss of life, thereby subjecting us to liabilities and possible
losses, which may not be covered by insurance.

The construction of large scale properties such as our development projects can be
dangerous. Construction workers at our projects are subject to hazards that may cause personal injury or loss of life, thereby subjecting the contractor and us to liabilities, possible losses, delays in completion of the projects and negative
publicity. In June 2006, a construction worker died after falling from a high floor of the Crown Macau during construction. As a result, we stopped construction on the Crown Macau site for several days to allow for safety inspections and
investigations. A floor of the Crown Macau also collapsed while under construction, causing injuries to construction workers. We believe that we and our contractor take safety precautions that are consistent with industry practice,
but these safety precautions may not be adequate to prevent serious personal injuries or further loss of life, damage to property or delays. If further accidents occur during the construction of our projects, we may be subject to delays,
including delays imposed by regulators, liabilities and possible losses, which may not be covered by insurance, and our business, prospects and reputation may be materially and adversely affected.

##### Table of Contents

We may encounter all of the risks associated with the development and construction of the Crown Macau project in
the development and construction of the City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects.

We will be exposed to similar risks as we have
encountered or identified in the development of the Crown Macau in the development and construction of the City of Dreams, which will be substantially larger and more complex and is at an earlier stage of design and development, and the Macau
Peninsula project. We have not yet entered into definitive contracts for the construction and development of the City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into definitive contracts with
contractors with sufficient skill, financial strength and experience on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We may not be able to obtain guaranteed maximum price or fixed contract price terms on the construction contracts for the City of Dreams
project, which could cause us to bear greater risks of cost overruns and construction delays. If we are unable to enter into satisfactory construction contracts for the City of Dreams project or are unable to closely control the construction costs
and timetable for the City of Dreams project, our business, financial condition and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

We are
developing the City of Dreams on land for which we have not yet been granted a formal concession by the Macau government on terms acceptable to us. If we do not obtain a land concession on terms acceptable to us, we could forfeit all or a part of
our investment in the site and the design and construction of the City of Dreams and would not be able to open and operate that facility as planned.

Land concessions in Macau are issued by the Macau government and generally have a term of 25 years, which is renewable for further consecutive periods of up to 10 years each until December 19, 2049 in accordance
with the Macau law. The specific terms are determined in the relevant land concession contracts, and there are common formulas generally used to determine the cost of these land concessions. On May 10, 2005, we accepted in principle the Macau
governments offer of a land concession to Melco Hotels consisting of approximately 113,325 square meters (28 acres) of land on the Cotai Strip for the site of the City of Dreams. However, we do not currently have a definitive
timetable for finalizing our negotiations with the Macau government and cannot assure you that we will be able to finalize our negotiations with the Macau government and obtain this land concession on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. If we
do not obtain a land concession for the City of Dreams site, we may not be able to meet conditions to draw loans under the City of Dreams Project Facility and may not be able to complete and operate the City of Dreams and we could lose all or a
substantial part of our investment in the City of Dreams. If the land concession when granted contains terms unacceptable to us and we are unable to seek amendments to the land concession granted, we may not be able to complete and operate the City
of Dreams as planned and we could lose all or a substantial part of our investments in the City of Dreams. As of December 31, 2006, we had paid approximately US$193.0 million of the project costs for the City of Dreams project, primarily for
the land costs, construction costs, design and consultation fees. The majority of development and construction costs are typically spent closer to the completion of a construction project and we expect that a large portion of our remaining
expenditures budgeted for the City of Dreams project will be spent in the months leading up to the expected opening date of the City of Dreams.

Simultaneous planning, design, construction and development of our three major projects may stretch our management time and resources, which could lead to delays, increased costs and other inefficiencies in the development of one or
more of our projects.

Until the public opening of the Crown Macau, which is currently scheduled for May 9, 2007, we expect the
construction of the Crown Macau and the planning, design and construction of the City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects will be proceeding simultaneously. Since there is a significant overlap of the planning, design, development and
construction periods of these projects involving the need for intensive work on each of the projects, members of our senior management will be involved in planning and developing all of our projects at the same time. Completing work on the Crown
Macau simultaneously with the planning, design, development and construction of the City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects could divert management resources from the construction and opening of any one project. Our management may be unable to
devote sufficient time and attention to all of our projects, and that may delay the construction or opening of one or more of our projects, cause construction cost overruns or cause the performance of any opened property to be lower than expected,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will need to recruit a substantial number of new employees before each of our projects can open and competition
may limit our ability to attract qualified management and personnel.

As we approach the completion of construction of the Crown
Macau, we will require extensive operational management and staff in order to commence operations and operate successfully. Accordingly, we are undertaking a major recruiting program before the Crown Macau opens and expect to do so again before each
of the City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects opens. In anticipation of the formal opening of the Crown Macau on May 9, 2007, we are recruiting and training over 3,500 employees for the operation of the completed facility. The pool of
experienced gaming and other personnel in Macau is limited. Many of our new personnel will occupy sensitive positions requiring qualifications sufficient to meet gaming regulatory and other requirements or will be required to possess other skills
for which substantial training and experience may be needed. Moreover, competition to recruit and retain qualified gaming and other personnel is likely to intensify significantly as competition in the Macau casino hotel market increases. In
addition, we are not currently allowed under Macau government policy to hire non-Macau resident dealers and croupiers. In particular, several other major casino hotels are expected to open in Macau at or around the same times as our developments. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified individuals to operate our projects or that costs to recruit and retain such personnel will not increase. The loss of the services of any of our senior
managers or the inability to attract and retain qualified employees and senior management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our contractors may face difficulties in finding sufficient labor at acceptable cost, which could cause delays and increase construction costs of our projects.

The contractors we retain to construct our projects may also face difficulties and competition in finding qualified construction laborers and managers as
more projects commence construction in Macau and as substantial construction activity continues in China. Immigration and labor regulations in Macau may cause our contractors to be unable to obtain sufficient laborers from China to make up any gaps
in available labor in Macau and to help reduce costs of construction, which could cause delays and increase construction costs of our projects.

Our
business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior management, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services or their other responsibilities cause them to be unable to devote sufficient time and attention
to our company.

We will place substantial reliance on the gaming, project development and hospitality industry experience and
knowledge of the Macau market possessed by members of our senior management team, including our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lawrence Ho. The loss of the services of one or more of these members of our senior management team
could hinder our ability to effectively manage our business and implement our growth and development strategies. Finding suitable replacements for Mr. Lawrence Ho or other members of our senior management could be difficult, and competition for
personnel of similar experience could be intense in Macau. We do not currently carry key person insurance on any members of our senior management team.

Because we will depend upon a limited number of properties for all of our cash flow, we will be subject to greater risks than a gaming company with more operating properties.

We will be entirely dependent upon the Crown Macau, City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects and the Mocha Clubs for our cash flow. Given that our
operations will be conducted only based on a small number of principal properties, we will be subject to greater risks than a gaming company with more operating properties due to our limited diversification of our businesses and sources of revenue.

Risks Relating to Our Operations in the Gaming Industry in Macau

Because our operations will face intense competition in Macau and elsewhere in Asia, we may not be able to compete successfully and we may lose or be unable to gain
market share.

Our competitors in Macau and elsewhere in Asia will include many of the largest gaming, hospitality, leisure and
resort companies in the world. Some of these current and future competitors are significantly larger than us and have significantly larger capital and other resources to support their developments and operations in Macau.

The hotel, resort and casino businesses are highly competitive in Macau and we expect to encounter intense and increasing competition as other developers
and operators complete and open new projects in coming years. Our Macau operations compete with approximately 25 other existing casinos of varying sizes located in Macau as of December 31, 2006 as reported by the DICJ. In addition, we
expect competition to increase in the near future from local and foreign casino operators who are developing numerous hotel and casino projects in Macau. By the time our City of Dreams project is ready for opening, there is expected to be several
new casinos in operation.

SJM is one of the three concessionaires in Macau and operates 18 casinos. SJM is controlled by Dr. Stanley
Ho, who through SJM and, its parent entity STDM, controlled the monopoly concession on gaming operations in Macau from 1962 to 2002. In addition, Dr. Stanley Ho is the father of Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Dr. Stanley Ho was a director and the Chairman of Melco until he resigned from those positions in March 2006. Dr. Stanley Ho remains a shareholder of Melco, and we believe that, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, he was deemed to beneficially own approximately 1.77% of Melcos outstanding ordinary shares as of December 31, 2006.

In February 2007, SJM opened the Grand Lisboa, a resort next to the Hotel Lisboa, one of our main competitors in Macau gaming, and has also announced the construction of Oceanus, a new casino complex near the Macau Ferry Terminal. Las Vegas
Sands opened the Sands Macao in May 2004 and is currently building the Venetian Macao Resort, an all-suites hotel, casino and convention center complex, with a Venetian-style theme similar to that of their Las Vegas property. Galaxy Casino S.A., or
Galaxy, operates five casinos and is building the Galaxy Cotai Mega Resort. Wynn Macau opened the Wynn Macau casino hotel project in September 2006 and has announced plans to build up to three resorts in the Cotai Strip. The joint venture between
MGM-Mirage and Pansy Ho, Dr. Stanley Hos daughter and the sister of Mr. Lawrence Ho, is building the MGM Grand Macau, a resort on the Macau peninsula adjacent to the Wynn Macau which is scheduled to open in late 2007. Other casinos
are expected to be opened by other hotel and entertainment development companies in conjunction with concessionaires who will operate the casino operations.

We will also compete to some extent with casinos located elsewhere in other countries, such as Malaysia, South Korea, the Philippines and Cambodia, as well as in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere in the world,
including Las Vegas. In addition, certain countries, such as Singapore, have now legalized casino gaming and others may in the future legalize casino gaming, including Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. Singapore awarded one casino license to Las Vegas
Sands in August 2006 and a second casino license to Genting International Bhd. in November 2006. We also expect competition from cruise ships operating out of Hong Kong and other areas of Asia that offer gaming. The proliferation of gaming venues in
Southeast Asia could significantly and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our regional
competitors will also include PBLs Crown Casino Melbourne and Burswood Casino in Australia and other casino resorts that Melco and PBL may develop elsewhere in Asia outside Macau. Melco and PBL may develop different interests and strategies
for projects in Asia under their joint venture which conflict with the interests of our business in Macau or otherwise compete with us for Asian gaming and leisure customers.

Gaming is a highly regulated industry in Macau and adverse changes or developments in gaming laws or regulations
could be difficult to comply with or significantly increase our costs, which could cause our projects to be unsuccessful.

Gaming is
a highly regulated industry in Macau. Current laws, such as licensing requirements, tax rates and other regulatory obligations, including for anti-money laundering, could change or become more stringent resulting in additional regulations being
imposed upon the gaming operations in the Crown Macau and City of Dreams casinos, the Macau Peninsula site and the Mocha Clubs or a further liberalization of competition being introduced in the gaming industry. Any such adverse developments in the
regulation of the gaming industry could be difficult to comply with and significantly increase our costs, which could cause our projects to be unsuccessful.

Current Macau laws and regulations concerning gaming and gaming concessions and matters such as prevention of money laundering are, for the most part, fairly recent and there is little precedent on the interpretation
of these laws and regulations. We believe that our organizational structure and operations are currently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations of Macau, but we are still in the process of building our
internal staff, systems and procedures for the operation of our gaming businesses in compliance with gaming regulatory requirements and standards in Macau. These laws and regulations are complex and a court or an administrative or regulatory body
may in the future render an interpretation of these laws and regulations, or issue new or modified regulations, that differ from our interpretation, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.

Our activities in Macau are subject to administrative review and approval by various agencies of the Macau government. For example,
our activities are subject to the administrative review and approval by the Health Department, Labour Bureau, Public Works Bureau, Fire Department, Finance Department and Macau Government Tourism Office. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
obtain all necessary approvals that may materially affect our business and operations. Macau law permits redress to the courts with respect to administrative actions. However, such redress is largely untested in relation to gaming regulatory issues.

In addition to complying with Macaus local requirements and standards, we may conduct our gaming operations in Macau by implementing
certain of the policies and procedures followed by PBL in compliance with Australian gaming regulations, modified where necessary to meet Macaus local requirements and standards. Those Australian requirements may be more restrictive than those
in Macau. This may negatively affect our flexibility and our ability to engage in some activities that would otherwise be permissible in Macau and increase the expenses we incur in connection with regulatory compliance.

Under MPBL Gamings subconcession, the Macau government may terminate its subconcession under certain circumstances without compensation to it, which would
prevent it from operating casino gaming facilities in Macau and could result in defaults under our indebtedness and a partial or complete loss of our investments in our projects.

Under MPBL Gamings gaming subconcession, the Macau government has the right, after notifying Wynn Macau, to unilaterally terminate the subconcession
in the event of non-compliance by MPBL Gaming with its basic obligations under the subconcession and applicable Macau laws. If such a termination were to occur, MPBL Gaming would be unable to operate casino gaming in Macau. We would also be unable
to recover the US$900 million consideration paid to Wynn Macau for the issue of the subconcession.

The following termination events are
included in the subconcession contract:



| |  |  | the operation of gaming without permission or operation of business which does not fall within the business scope of the subconcession;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | abandonment of approved business or suspension of operations of our gaming business in Macau without reasonable grounds for more than seven consecutive days or more
than 14 non-consecutive days within one calendar year;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | transfer of all or part of MPBL Gamings operation in Macau in violation of the relevant laws and administrative regulations governing the operation of games
of fortune or chance and other casino games in the Macau SAR and without Macau government approval;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to pay taxes, premiums, levies or other amounts payable to the Macau government;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to resume operations following the temporary assumption of operations by the Macau government;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | repeated opposition to the supervision and inspection by the Macau government and failure to comply with decisions and recommendations of the Macau government,
especially those of the Direcçāo de Inspecçāo e Coordenaçāo de Jogos (Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau of the Macau government), or the DICJ, applicable to us;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | refusal or failure to provide or supplement the guarantee deposit or the guarantees specified in the subconcession within the prescribed period;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | bankruptcy or insolvency of MPBL Gaming;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | fraudulent activity harming the public interest;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | serious and repeated violation of the applicable rules for carrying out casino games of chance or games of other forms or damage to the fairness of casino games of
chance or games of other forms;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | systematic non-compliance with the Macau Gaming Laws basic obligations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the grant to any other person of any managing power over the gaming business of MPBL Gaming or the grant of a subconcession or the entering into any agreement to
the same effect; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure by a controlling shareholder in MPBL Gaming to dispose of its interest in MPBL Gaming, within ninety days, following notice from the gaming authorities of
another jurisdiction in which such controlling shareholder is licensed to operate casino games of chance to the effect that such controlling shareholder can no longer own shares in MPBL Gaming.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These events could lead to the termination of MPBL Gamings subconcession without compensation to it.

If MPBL Gaming were to enter into a service agreement with New Cotai Entertainment, LLC, or other parties, pursuant to which MPBL Gaming would operate
the casino premises in their hotel casino resorts, and New Cotai Entertainment or these other parties were to be found unsuitable or were to undertake actions that are inconsistent with MPBL Gamings subconcession terms and requirements, we
could suffer penalties, including the termination of the subconcession. Based on information from the Macau government, proposed amendments to the legislation are being considered. We expect that after such amendments take effect, on the expiry or
any termination of MPBL Gamings subconcession, unless MPBL Gamings subconcession were extended, the portion of casino premises within our developments to be designated with the approval of the Macau government, including all gaming
equipment, would revert to the Macau government automatically without compensation to us. In many of these instances, the subconcession contract does not provide a specific cure period within which any such events may be cured and, instead, we would
rely on consultations and negotiations with the Macau government to remedy any such violation.

The subconcession contract contains various
general covenants, obligations and other provisions as to which the determination of compliance is subjective. For example, compliance with general and special duties of cooperation, special duties of information, and with obligations foreseen for
the execution of our investment plan may be subjective. We cannot assure you that we will perform such covenants in a way that satisfies the requirements of the Macau government and, accordingly, we will be dependent on our continuing communications
and good faith negotiations with the Macau government to ensure that we are performing our obligations under the subconcession in a manner that would avoid any violations.

Under the subconcession contract, we are required to make a minimum investment in Macau of MOP 4.0
billion (US$499.2 million) by December 2010. We expect to satisfy this requirement through our development of the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams. However, if we were unable to meet the required deadline for completing this minimum investment
due, for example, to delay in construction or inability to finance the completion of the City of Dreams project, we may lose the right to continue operating our properties developed under the subconcession or suffer the termination of the
subconcession by the Macau government.

Under MPBL Gamings subconcession, the Macau government is allowed to request various changes
in the plans and specifications of our Macau properties and to make various other decisions and determinations that may be binding on us. For example, the Chief Executive of the Macau SAR has the right to require that we increase MPBL Gamings
share capital or that we provide certain deposits or other guarantees of performance with respect to the obligations of our Macau subsidiaries in any amount determined by the Macau government to be necessary. MPBL Gaming is limited in its ability to
raise additional capital by the need to first obtain the approval of the Macau gaming and governmental authorities before raising certain debt or equity. MPBL Gamings ability to incur debt or raise equity may also be restricted by our loan
facilities. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with these requirements or any other requirements of the Macau government or with the other requirements and obligations imposed by the subconcession.

Furthermore, pursuant to the subconcession contract, we are obligated to comply not only with the terms of that agreement, but also with laws,
regulations, rulings and orders that the Macau government might promulgate in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with any such laws, regulations, rulings or orders or that any such laws, regulations, rulings or orders
would not adversely affect our ability to construct or operate our Macau properties. If any disagreement arises between us and the Macau government regarding the interpretation of, or our compliance with, a provision of the subconcession contract,
we will be relying on the consultation and negotiation process with the applicable Macau governmental agency described above. During any such consultation, however, we will be obligated to comply with the terms of the subconcession contract as
interpreted by the Macau government.

MPBL Gamings failure to comply with the terms of its subconcession in a manner satisfactory to
the Macau government could result in the termination of its subconcession. We cannot assure you that MPBL Gaming would always be able to operate gaming activities in a manner satisfactory to the Macau government. The loss of its subconcession would
prohibit MPBL Gaming from conducting gaming operations in Macau which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could result in defaults under our indebtedness and a partial or complete
loss of our investments in our projects.

Currently, there is no precedent on how the Macau government will treat the termination of a
concession or subconcession upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances mentioned above. Some of the laws and regulations summarized above have not yet been applied by the Macau government. Therefore, the scope and enforcement of the provisions
of Macaus gaming regulatory system cannot be fully assessed at this time.

The Macau government could grant additional rights to conduct gaming
in the future, which could significantly increase the already intense competition in Macau and cause us to lose or be unable to gain market share.

MPBL Gaming is one of six companies authorized by the Macau government to operate gaming activities in Macau. Although the Macau government has agreed under the existing concession agreements that it will not grant
any additional concessions before April 2009 and has publicly stated that only one subconcession may be issued under each concession, we cannot assure you that the Macau government will not change its policies to issue additional concessions or
subconcessions at any time in the future. If the Macau government were to allow additional competitors to operate in Macau through the grant of additional concessions or subconcessions, we would face additional competition, which could significantly
increase the already intense competition in Macau and cause us to lose or be unable to gain market share.

MPBL Gamings subconcession contract expires in 2022 and if it was unable to secure an extension of its
subconcession in 2022 or if the Macau government were to exercise its redemption right in 2017, it would be unable to operate casino gaming in Macau.

MPBL Gamings subconcession contract expires in 2022. Based on information from the Macau government, proposed amendments to the relevant legislation are being considered. We expect that after such amendments
take effect, on the expiration date of MPBL Gamings subconcession, unless MPBL Gamings subconcession were extended, the portion of casino premises within our developments to be designated with the approval of the Macau government,
including all gaming equipment, would automatically revert to the Macau government without compensation to us. Under the subconcession contract, beginning in 2017, the Macau government has the right to redeem the subconcession contract by providing
us at least one years prior notice. In the event the Macau government exercises this redemption right, we would be entitled to fair compensation or indemnity. The amount of such compensation or indemnity would be determined based on the gross
revenue generated by the City of Dreams during the tax year immediately prior to the redemption, multiplied by the remaining term of the subconcession. We would not receive any further compensation (including for consideration paid to Wynn Macau for
the subconcession). We cannot assure you that MPBL Gaming would be able to renew or extend its subconcession contract on terms favorable to us or at all. We also cannot assure you that if MPBL Gamings subconcession were redeemed, the
compensation paid would be adequate to compensate us for the loss of future revenues.

We expect that MPBL Gaming will not initially be required to
pay corporate income taxes on income from gaming operations under the subconcession. We expect that this tax exemption will expire at the end of five years and it may not be extended.

The Macau government has granted or has agreed to grant the benefit of a corporate tax holiday on gaming income in Macau to the existing concessionaires
and subconcessionaires for a period of five years starting from the date their gaming operations began in Macau. MPBL Gaming intends to apply for the tax exemption and we expect that it will have the same benefit of a corporate tax holiday in Macau,
effective from the date we begin generating gaming revenues under the subconcession, which would exempt us from paying corporate income tax on income generated from gaming activities, which include casino and slot machine gaming, excluding profits
from our non-gaming businesses, through the end of the five-year period. We cannot assure you that this tax exemption will be granted by the Macau government or extended beyond the expiration date.

We will extend credit to a portion of our customers, and we may not be able to collect gaming receivables from our credit customers.

We will conduct our table gaming activities at our casinos to a limited degree on a credit basis. This credit is likely to be unsecured. High-end patrons
typically will be extended more credit than patrons who tend to wager lower amounts.

We may not be able to collect all of our gaming
receivables from our credit customers. We expect that we will be able to enforce our gaming receivables only in a limited number of jurisdictions, including Macau. As most of our gaming customers are expected to be visitors from other jurisdictions,
we may not have access to a forum in which we will be able to collect all of our gaming receivables because, among other reasons, courts of many jurisdictions do not enforce gaming debts. We may encounter forums that will refuse to enforce such
debts, or we may be unable to locate assets in other jurisdictions against which to seek recovery of gaming debts. The collectibility of receivables from international customers could be negatively affected by future business or economic trends or
by significant events in the countries in which these customers reside. We may also in given cases have to determine whether aggressive enforcement actions against a customer will unduly alienate the customer and cause the customer to cease playing
at our casinos. If we accrue large receivables from the credit extended to our customers, we could suffer a material adverse impact on our operating results if those receivables are deemed uncollectible. In addition, in the event a patron has
been extended credit and has lost back to us the amount borrowed and the receivable from that patron is deemed uncollectible, Macau gaming tax will still be payable on the resulting gaming revenue notwithstanding our uncollectible receivable.

We will depend upon gaming junket operators for a portion of our gaming revenue and if we are unable to establish
successful relationships with junket operators, our ability to attract high-end patrons may be adversely affected. If we are unable to ensure high standards of probity and integrity in the junket operators with whom we are associated, our reputation
may suffer or we may be subject to sanctions, including the loss of MPBL Gamings subconcession.

Junket operators, who
organize tours, or junkets, for high-end patrons to casinos in Macau, will be responsible for a portion of our gaming revenues in Macau. With the rise in gaming in Macau, the competition for relationships with junket operators has increased. While
we do not have any current relationships with junket operators. PBL has sales and marketing staff in Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Macau devoted to attracting junket business to PBLs existing casinos,
Crown Casino Melbourne and Burswood Casino. There can be no assurance that we will be able to utilize PBLs relationships with regional junket operators or develop other relationships with junket operators. If we are unable to utilize and
develop relationships with junket operators, our ability to grow our gaming revenues will be hampered and we will have to seek alternative ways to develop relationships with high-end patrons, which may not be as profitable as relationships developed
through junket operators.

In addition, the reputations of the junket operators we deal with will be important to our own reputation and
MPBL Gamings ability to continue to operate in compliance with its subconcession. While we will endeavor to ensure high standards of probity and integrity in the junket operators with whom we are associated, we cannot assure you that the
junket operators with whom we are associated will always maintain the high standards that we plan to require. If we were to deal with a junket operator whose probity was in doubt, this may be considered by regulators or investors to reflect
negatively on our own probity. If a junket operator falls below our standards, we and our shareholders may suffer harm to our or their reputation, as well as worsened relationships with, and possibly sanctions from, gaming regulators with authority
over our operations.

We cannot assure you that anti-money laundering policies that we intend to implement and compliance with applicable anti-money
laundering laws will be effective to prevent our casino operations from being exploited for money laundering purposes.

Macaus
free port, offshore financial services and free movements of capital create an environment whereby Macaus casinos could be exploited for money laundering purposes. We intend to implement anti-money laundering policies in compliance with all
applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations in Macau based in part on those adopted by PBL for its casinos in Australia. However, we cannot assure you that any such policies will be effective to prevent our casino operations from being
exploited for money laundering purposes. Any incidents of money laundering, accusations of money laundering or regulatory investigations into possible money laundering activities involving us, our employees, our junket operators or our customers
could have a material adverse impact on our reputation, business, cash flows, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. See Item 4. Information on the CompanyB. Business OverviewGaming RegulationsAnti-Money
Laundering Regulations in Macau.

If Macaus transportation infrastructure does not adequately support the development of Macaus
gaming industry, visitation to Macau may not increase as currently expected, which may cause our projects to be unsuccessful.

Macau
consists of a peninsula and two islands and is connected to China by two border crossings. Macau has an international airport and connections to China and Hong Kong by road, ferry and helicopter. To support Macaus planned transformation into a
mass-market gaming destination, the frequency of bus, plane and ferry services to Macau must increase significantly. In addition, Macaus internal road system is prone to congestion and must be substantially improved to support projected
increases in traffic. While various projects are under development to improve Macaus internal and external transportation links, these projects may not be approved, financed or constructed in time to handle the projected increase in demand for
transportation, or at all, which could impede the expected increase in visitation to Macau and cause our projects to be unsuccessful.

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness

Our substantial projected indebtedness could impair our financial condition, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

We will have substantial debt service obligations. We expect, based on current budgets and estimates, to incur the following secured long term
indebtedness:



| |  |  | approximately HK$1.28 billion (US$164.5 million) under the Great Wonders Project Facility for construction of the Crown Macau;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | approximately US$1.6 billion under the City of Dreams Project Facility for construction of the City of Dreams; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | debt financing for a significant portion of the HK$1.5 billion (US$192.8 million) acquisition cost of the Macau Peninsula site, as well as a significant portion of
the other costs of developing that project, which are as yet undetermined.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our substantial projected indebtedness could
have important consequences to you. For example, it could:



| |  |  | increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, which would reduce the funds
available to us for our operations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | subject us to higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates to the extent a portion of our debt will bear interest at variable rates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cause us to incur additional expenses by hedging interest rate exposures of our debt and exposure to hedging counterparties failure to pay under such hedging
arrangements, which would reduce the funds available for us for our operations; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the event we or one of our subsidiaries were to default, result in the loss of all or a substantial portion of our and our subsidiaries assets, over which
our lenders have taken or will take security.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We currently do not generate sufficient cash flow to service our projected
indebtedness and we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations because our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make scheduled payments due on our anticipated debt obligations and to fund planned capital expenditures and development efforts will
depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our current operations are insufficient to support the debt service on our anticipated debt. We will require timely completion and generation of operating cash flow from our projects to service
our future projected indebtedness. Our ability to obtain cash to service our projected debt is subject to a range of economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we
do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our projected debt obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital
investments or seeking to raise additional capital. We cannot assure you that any refinancing or restructuring would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales or the amount of proceeds that would be realized
from those sales. We cannot assure you that additional

##### Table of Contents

financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or would be permitted under the terms of our various debt
instruments then in effect. Our failure to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our future projected debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

The terms of our and our subsidiaries indebtedness may restrict our current and future operations and
harm our ability to complete our projects and grow our business operations to compete successfully against our competitors.

The
Great Wonders Project Facility and associated facility and security documents that Great Wonders has entered into also contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on Great Wonders and
effectively on us. In addition, the terms and conditions described in the commitment letter for the City of Dreams Project Facility will also impose significant operating and financial restrictions on MPBL Gaming, Melco Hotels and effectively on us.
The covenants in the Great Wonders Project Facility and City of Dreams Project Facility restrict, among other things, our or our subsidiaries ability to:



| |  |  | incur additional debt, including guarantees;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | create security or liens;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | dispose of assets;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | make certain acquisitions and investments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pay dividends and make other restricted payments or apply revenues earned in one part of our operations to fund development costs or operating losses in another
part of our operations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

| |  |  | enter into transactions with shareholders and affiliates.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the restrictions under the Great Wonders Project Facility and the restrictions contemplated in the commitment letter for the City of Dreams Project Facility contain financial covenants, including
requirements that we satisfy tests or ratios such as:



| |  |  | maximum capital expenditures test;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | minimum interest and debt service coverage ratios; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a maximum leverage ratio.

Because
we have not completed the negotiation of the definitive terms of our and our subsidiaries additional indebtedness, including the terms of our proposed City of Dreams Project Facility, we may have covenants in addition to the covenants set
forth above or that may be more restrictive than those described above. These covenants may restrict our ability to operate and restrict our ability to incur additional debt or other financing we may require and impede our growth.

Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our or our subsidiaries indebtedness, including failure
as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default that could materially and adversely affect our cash flow, operating results and our financial condition.

If there were an event of default under one of our debt facilities, the holders of the debt on which we defaulted could cause all amounts outstanding with
respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately. In addition, any event of default or declaration of acceleration under one debt facility could result in an event of default under one or more of our other debt instruments, with the result
that all of our debt would be in default and accelerated. We cannot assure you that our assets or cash flow would be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding debt facilities, either upon maturity or if accelerated upon an event of
default, or that we would be able to refinance or restructure the payments on those debt facilities. Further, if we are unable to repay, refinance or restructure our indebtedness at our subsidiaries that own or operate our properties, the lenders
under those debt facilities could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness, which will constitute substantially all the assets and shares of our subsidiaries. In that event, any proceeds received upon a realization of the collateral
would be applied first to amounts due under those debt instruments. The value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay all of our indebtedness, which could result in the loss of your investment as a shareholder.

Risks Relating to Our Business and to Operating in Macau

Conducting business in Macau has certain political and economic risks that may lead to significant volatility and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

All of our existing operations are in Macau. Accordingly, our business development plans, results of operations and financial condition may be materially
adversely affected by significant political, social and economic developments in Macau and in China and by changes in government policies or changes in laws and regulations or the interpretations of these laws and regulations. In particular, our
operating results may be adversely affected by:



| |  |  | changes in Macaus and Chinas political, economic and social conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in policies of the government or changes in laws and regulations, or the interpretation of these laws and regulations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in foreign exchange regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | measures that may be introduced to control inflation, such as interest rate increases; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the rate or method of taxation.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

Our operations in Macau are also exposed to the risk of changes in laws and policies that govern operations of Macau-based companies. Tax laws and regulations may also be subject to amendment or different interpretation and implementation,
thereby adversely affecting our profitability after tax. Further, certain terms of our gaming subconcession may be subject to renegotiations with the Macau government in the future, including amounts we will be obligated to pay the Macau government
in order to continue operations. MPBL Gamings obligations to make certain payments to the Macau government under the terms of its subconcession include a fixed annual premium per year and a variable premium depending on the number and type of
gaming tables and gaming machines that we operate. The results of those renegotiations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Secretary for Transport and Public Works of Macau, Mr. Ao Man-Long, was arrested in December 2006 by Macaus Commission against Corruption
on charges involving bribery and irregular financial activities according to the Macau Government Official Statement. In accordance with a statement made by the Macaus Commission against Corruption, those detained together with Mr. Ao are
related to local companies to whom several major public works contracts were awarded. During the investigation, additional individuals related to local Macau companies to whom land had been granted in land exchange procedures were detained.
The investigation is ongoing. After the arrest, Mr. Ao was removed from his post as Secretary for Transport and

Public Works of Macau, which gave him jurisdiction over all land grants and public works and infrastructure projects in
Macau. The Chief Executive of Macau had personally assumed such role until Mr. Lao Sio-Io was appointed the new Secretary for Transport and Public Works in March 2007. The Macau government has granted us a lease for a plot of land for the Crown
Macau, and has offered to grant us a lease for the development rights for two adjacent land parcels on the Cotai Strip for the City of Dreams site. However, we are still awaiting the formal grant of an occupancy permit for the Crown Macau and we
have yet to receive either a formal grant of a land concession or an occupancy permit for the City of Dreams site. We will apply for approval from the Macau government to increase the developable gross floor area of the City of Dreams site and
revision to the purpose of land use after the site is granted to us. In addition, the Macau Peninsula project is at an even earlier stage of development, and if we acquire the site we would need to obtain similar land concession modifications and
development approvals from the Macau government. We cannot predict at this time whether Mr. Aos arrest and removal, and any further investigations or prosecutions, will adversely affect the functioning of the Macau Land, Public Works and
Transports Bureau, any approvals or land concession grants that are pending before it, or for which applications may be made in the future (including with respect to our projects), or will give rise to additional scrutiny or review of any approvals
or land concessions, including those for the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams, that were previously approved or granted through this Bureau and the Secretary for Transport and Public Works of Macau.

As we expect a significant number of patrons to come to our properties from China, general economic conditions and policies in China could have a
significant impact on our financial prospects. Any slowdown in economic growth or reversal of Chinas current policies of liberalizing restrictions on travel and currency movements could adversely impact the number of visitors from China to our
properties in Macau as well as the amounts they are willing to spend in our casinos.

Because we will depend upon our properties in one market for
all of our cash flow, we will be subject to greater risks than a gaming company that operates in more markets.

We will be entirely
dependent upon the Crown Macau, City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects and Mocha Clubs for all of our cash flow. Given that our operations will be conducted only at properties in Macau and that any future developments will be in Macau, we
will be subject to greater risks than a gaming company with more operating properties in more markets. These risks include:



| |  |  | dependence on the gaming and leisure market in Macau and limited diversification of our businesses and sources of revenue;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a decline in economic, competitive and political conditions in Macau or generally in Asia;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inaccessibility to Macau due to inclement weather, road construction or closure of primary access routes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a decline in air or ferry passenger traffic to Macau due to higher ticket costs, fears concerning travel or otherwise;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in Macau governmental laws and regulations, or interpretations thereof, including gaming laws and regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | natural and other disasters, including typhoons, outbreaks of infectious diseases or terrorism, affecting Macau;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that the number of visitors to Macau does not increase at the rate that we have expected; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a decrease in gaming activities at our properties.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

Any of these conditions or events could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our gaming operations could be adversely affected by restrictions on the export of the Renminbi and limitations of
the Pataca exchange markets.

Gaming operators in Macau are currently prohibited from accepting wagers in Renminbi, the currency of
China. There are currently restrictions on the export of the Renminbi outside of mainland China, including to Macau. For example, Chinese traveling abroad for six months or less are only allowed to take the equivalent of up to US$5,000 out of China.
Restrictions on the export of the Renminbi may impede the flow of gaming customers from China to Macau, inhibit the growth of gaming in Macau and negatively impact our operations.

Our revenues in Macau are denominated in H.K. dollars and Patacas, the legal currency of Macau. Although currently permitted, we cannot assure you that
H.K. dollars and Patacas will continue to be freely exchangeable into U.S. dollars. Also, because the currency market for Patacas is relatively small and undeveloped, our ability to convert large amounts of Patacas into U.S. dollars over a
relatively short period of time may be limited. As a result, we may experience difficulty in converting Patacas into U.S. dollars.

Terrorism and the
uncertainty of war, economic downturns and other factors affecting discretionary consumer spending and leisure travel may reduce visitation to Macau and harm our operating results.

The strength and profitability of our business will depend on consumer demand for casino resorts and leisure travel in general. Changes in consumer
preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm our business. Terrorist acts, developments in the conflict in Iraq and other events could have a negative impact on international travel and leisure expenditures, including lodging, gaming
and tourism. We cannot predict the extent to which the recent or future terrorist acts may affect us, directly or indirectly, in the future. In addition to fears of war and future acts of terrorism, other factors affecting discretionary consumer
spending, including general economic conditions, amounts of disposable consumer income, fears of recession and lack of consumer confidence in the economy, may negatively impact our business. Consumer demand for hotel casino resorts and the type of
luxury amenities we plan to offer are highly sensitive to downturns in the economy. An extended period of reduced discretionary spending and/or disruptions or declines in airline travel could significantly harm our operations.

An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by the H5N1 virus (avian flu or bird flu), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS) or other contagious disease may have an adverse effect on the economies of certain Asian countries and may adversely affect our results of operations.

During 2004, large parts of Asia experienced unprecedented outbreaks of avian flu which, according to a report of the World Health Organization, or WHO,
in 2004, placed the world at risk of an influenza pandemic with high mortality and social and economic disruption. As of March 20, 2007, the WHO has confirmed a total of 169 fatalities in a total number of 281 cases reported to the WHO, which
only reports laboratory confirmed cases of avian flu since 2003. In particular, Guangdong Province, PRC, which is located across the Zhuhai Bridge from Macau, has confirmed several cases of avian flu. Currently, no fully effective avian flu vaccines
have been developed and there is evidence that the H5N1 virus is evolving so there can be no assurance that an effective vaccine can be discovered in time to protect against the potential avian flu pandemic. In the first half of 2003, certain
countries in Asia experienced an outbreak of SARS, a highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia, which seriously interrupted economic activities and caused the demand for goods to plummet in the affected regions. There can be no assurance that an
outbreak of avian flu, SARS or other contagious disease or the measures taken by the governments of affected countries against such potential outbreaks, will not seriously interrupt our gaming operations or visitation to Macau, which may have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations. The perception that an outbreak of avian flu, SARS or other contagious disease may occur again may also have an adverse effect on the economic conditions of countries in Asia.

Macau is susceptible to severe typhoons that may disrupt our operations.

Macau is susceptible to severe typhoons. Macau consists of a peninsula and two islands off the coast of mainland China. In the event of a major typhoon or other natural disaster in Macau, our properties and business
may be severely disrupted and our results of operations could be adversely affected. Although we or our operating subsidiaries intend to carry insurance coverage with respect to these events, our coverage may not be sufficient to fully indemnify us
against all direct and indirect costs, including loss of business, that could result from substantial damage to, or partial or complete destruction of, our properties or other damages to the infrastructure or economy of Macau.

Any fluctuation in the value of the H.K. dollar, U.S. dollar or Pataca may adversely affect our expenses and
profitability.

Although we will have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas in Macau, our revenues and expenses will
be denominated predominantly in Hong Kong dollars and in connection with most of our indebtedness and certain expenses, U.S. dollars. We expect to incur significant debt denominated in U.S. dollars, and the costs associated with servicing and
repaying such debt will be denominated in U.S. dollars. The value of the H.K. dollar and Patacas against the U.S. dollar may fluctuate and may be affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Although the exchange
rate between the H.K. dollar to the U.S. dollar has been pegged since 1983 and the Pataca is pegged to the H.K. dollar, we cannot assure you that the H.K. dollar will remain pegged to the U.S. dollar and that the Pataca will remain pegged to the
H.K. dollar. Any significant fluctuations in the exchange rates between H.K. dollars or Patacas to U.S. dollars may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we are required to convert
U.S. dollar financings into H.K. dollars or Patacas for our operations, fluctuations in the exchange rates between H.K. dollars or Patacas against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the amounts we receive from the conversion. We have
not used any forward contracts, futures, swaps or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk.

Risks Relating to Our Corporate
Structure and Ownership

Our existing shareholders will have a substantial influence over us and their interests in our business may be different
than yours.

Melco and PBL together own the substantial majority of our outstanding shares, with each beneficially holding 41.4% of
our outstanding ordinary shares as of the date of this annual report. Melco and PBL have entered into a shareholders agreement regarding the voting of their shares of our company under which each will agree to (among other things) vote its shares in
favor of three nominees to our board designated by the other. As a result, Melco and PBL, if they act together, will have the power, among other things, to elect directors to our board, including six of ten directors who are designated nominees of
PBL and Melco, appoint and change our management, affect our legal and capital structure and our day-to-day operations, approve material mergers, acquisitions, dispositions and other business combinations and approve any other material transactions
and financings. These actions may be taken in many cases without approval of independent directors or shareholders and the interests of these shareholders may conflict with your interests as minority shareholders. If Melco or PBL provides
shareholder support to us in the form of shareholder loans or provides credit support by guaranteeing our obligations, they may become our creditors with different interests than shareholders with only equity interests in us. The concentration of
controlling ownership of our shares may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce
the price of our ADSs.

Melco and PBL may pursue additional casino projects in Asia, which, along with their current operations, may compete with our
projects in Macau and could divert management time and resources and have adverse consequences to us and the interests of our minority shareholders.

Melco and PBL may take action to construct and operate new gaming projects located in other countries in the Asian region, which, along with their current operations, may compete with our projects in Macau and could
have adverse consequences to us and the interests of our minority shareholders. For example, another joint venture entity of Melco and PBL (in which we do not have any interest) participated in a consortium that submitted a bid for one of two
licenses to operate casinos in Singapore in the Fall of 2006. Although the consortium did not win such bid, Melco and PBL may seek other gaming projects in Asia through joint venture entities (in which we will not have any interest). We could
face competition from these other gaming projects, including competition for management time and resources. We also face competition from regional competitors, which include PBLs Crown Casino Melbourne and Burswood Casino in Australia. We
expect to continue to receive significant support from both Melco and PBL in terms of their local experience, operating skills, international experience and high standards. Specifically, we have support arrangements with Melco and PBL under which
they provide us administrative support and technical

##### Table of Contents

expertise in connection with the development of the Crown Macau, City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects and the
operation of the Mocha Clubs business. In addition, PBL has seconded to our subsidiaries several of their key project development personnel to form our core interim project management team and intends to second additional management employees when
our development projects are in operation. Should Melco or PBL decide to focus more attention on casino gaming projects located in other areas of Asia that may be expanding or commencing their gaming industries, or should economic conditions or
other factors result in a significant decrease in gaming revenues and number of patrons in Macau, Melco or PBL may make strategic decisions to focus on their other projects rather than us, which could adversely affect our growth. We cannot guarantee
you that Melco and PBL will make strategic and other decisions which do not adversely affect our business.

Business conducted through joint ventures
involves certain risks.

We were initially formed as a 50/50 joint venture between Melco and PBL as their exclusive vehicle to carry
on casino, gaming machines and casino hotel operations in Macau. We will not hold interests in any gaming and leisure related businesses and properties outside Macau. As a joint venture controlled by Melco and PBL, there are special risks associated
with the possibility that Melco and PBL may: (1) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours or that are inconsistent with each others interests or goals, causing disagreement between them or between them
and us which harms our business; (2) have operations and projects elsewhere in Asia that compete with our businesses in Macau and for available resources and management attention within the joint venture group; (3) take actions contrary to
our policies or objectives; (4) be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under the relevant joint venture or shareholders agreements; or (5) have financial difficulties. In addition, there is no assurance that the laws and
regulations relating to foreign investment in Melcos or PBLs governing jurisdictions will not be altered in such a manner as to result in a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Changes in our share ownership, including a change of control or a change in the amounts or relative percentages of our shares owned by Melco and PBL, could result
in our inability to draw loans or events of default under our indebtedness.

The City of Dreams Project Facility will include
provisions under which we may be unable to meet the conditions to draw loans or may suffer an event of default upon the occurrence of a change of control with respect to MPBL Gaming, a decline in the aggregate indirect holdings of MPBL Gaming shares
by Melco and PBL below certain thresholds, or a change in the percentages of MPBL Gaming shares indirectly held by Melco and PBL such that they cease to be equal. We expect these provisions to be most restrictive during the time when our projects
have not commenced commercial operation. Any occurrence of these events could be outside our control and could result in defaults and cross-defaults which cause the termination and acceleration of up to all of our credit facilities and potential
enforcement of remedies by our lenders, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are a
holding company and our only material sources of cash are and are expected to be dividends, distributions and payments under shareholder loans from our subsidiaries.

We are a holding company with no material business operations of our own. Our only significant asset is the capital stock of our subsidiaries. We conduct
virtually all of our business operations through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our only material sources of cash are dividends, distributions and payments with respect to our ownership interests in or shareholder loans that we may make to our
subsidiaries that are derived from the earnings and cash flow generated by our operating properties. Our subsidiaries might not generate sufficient earnings and cash flow to pay dividends, distributions or payments under shareholder loans in the
future. In addition, our subsidiaries debt instruments and other agreements, including those that may be entered into by us in connection with the City of Dreams project, limit or prohibit, or are expected to limit or prohibit, certain
payments of dividends, other distributions or payments under shareholder loans to us.

PBLs investment in our company is subject to Australian regulatory review, and if Australian regulators were
to find that we, PBL or Melco failed to comply with certain regulatory requirements and standards, then PBL may be required to withdraw from the joint venture.

PBL, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Crown Limited, owns and operates the Crown Casino Melbourne in Australia. Crown Limited holds a casino license issued under legislation in the State of Victoria, Australia.
PBL, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Burswood Nominees Limited, owns and operates the Burswood Casino in Perth, Australia. Burswood Nominees Limited holds a casino gaming license issued under legislation in the State of Western Australia,
Australia.

The Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation, or VCGR, has power under the Casino Control Act 1991 (Vic) to undertake
general investigations of a gaming licensee and to report its findings to the Minister for Gaming in Victoria. Section 28 of the Casino Control Act requires Crown Limited to seek the approval of the VCGR for any person who is to become an
associate of Crown Limited. An associate is a person or entity who by shareholding or directorship or managerial position is able to exercise significant influence over the management of the casino.

The VCGR must satisfy itself that the associate is a suitable person to be associated with the management of the casino. PBL has been
approved by the VCGR as an associate of Crown Limited. Section 28A requires the VCGR to monitor associates to ensure that they continue to be suitable to be associated with the holder of a casino license. To that end the
VCGR may investigate any person or entity who has a business association with PBL to determine if the business associate is of good repute and of sound financial resources. If, as a result of such investigation, the VCGR determines that, by reason
of its business association, PBL has ceased to be suitable as an associate of Crown Limited, then the VCGR can direct PBL to cease the business association or can direct PBL to terminate its association with Crown Limited.

Similar to the situation in Victoria, the Western Australian Gaming and Wagering Commission, or the WAGWC, has power under the Casino
Control Act 1984 (WA) to undertake general investigations of the holder of the Burswood Nominees Limited license and to report its findings to the Minister for Gaming in Western Australia. If the WAGWC were to determine that Burswood Nominees
Limited had ceased to be a suitable person to hold its license, the WAGWC has powers similar to those of to the VCGR to issue a show cause notice and then can either suspend or cancel the Burswood Nominees Limited license. The WAGWC has
similar obligations to the VCGR to approve and monitor close associates of Burswood Nominees Limited. Close associates in the Western Australian Act has a substantially similar meaning to associates in the
Victorian Act, although the Western Australian Act makes no specific reference to business associates of close associates in the same way as the Victorian Act. PBL has been approved as a close associate of Burswood Nominees
Limited. If the WAGWC were to determine that PBL had ceased to be a suitable entity to be such a close associate, then the WAGWC could direct PBL to terminate its close association with Burswood Nominees Limited.

The VCGR and WAGWC announced in August 2006 that, following the completion of their investigations, they have no objections to PBLs joint
venture with Melco. However, we cannot assure you that any future investigation by the VCGR or WAGWC would not result in a direction to either terminate the business association between PBL and Melco or to terminate the association between PBL, on
the one hand, and Crown Limited or Burswood Nominees Limited, on the other hand. If actions by us or our subsidiaries or by Melco or PBL fail to comply with Australian regulatory requirements and standards, or if there are changes in Australian
gaming laws and regulations or the interpretation or enforcement of such laws and regulations, PBL may be required to withdraw from its joint venture with Melco or limit its involvement in one or more aspects of our gaming operations, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Withdrawal by PBL from its joint venture with Melco could cause the failure of conditions to drawing loans under our credit facilities or the occurrence
of events of default under our credit facilities or as contemplated by our founders under their joint venture arrangement.

Risks Relating to the Shares and ADSs and Our Trading Markets

The trading price of our ADSs has been volatile and may continue to be volatile regardless of our operating performance.

The trading price of our ADSs has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. During the period from December 19, 2006, the first
day on which our ADSs were listed on Nasdaq, until March 29, 2007, the trading prices of our ADSs ranged from $14.12 to $23.55 per ADS and the closing sale price on March 29, 2007 was $15.90 per ADS. The market price for our ADSs may
continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:



| |  |  | uncertainties or delays relating to the financing, completion and successful operation of our projects;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments in the Macau market or other Asian gaming markets, including the announcement or completion of major new projects by our competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | regulatory developments affecting us or our competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other gaming and leisure industry companies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | addition or departure of our executive officers and key personnel;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Pataca and Renminbi;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | release or expiry of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding ordinary shares or ADSs; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales or perceived sales of additional ordinary shares or ADSs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may
also have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ADSs.

We currently do not intend to pay dividends, and we cannot assure you that we
will make dividend payments in the future.

We may pay dividends to shareholders in the future; however, such payments will depend
upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors considered relevant by our board of directors. We currently intend to
retain all of our earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not intend to declare or pay cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the near to medium term. Except as permitted under the Companies Law and
the common law of the Cayman Islands, we are not permitted to distribute dividends unless we have a profit, realized or unrealized, or a reserve set aside from profits which the directors of our company determine is no longer needed. We currently
have no reserve set aside from profits for the payment of dividends. We cannot assure you that we will make any dividend payments on our ordinary shares in the future. Our ability to pay dividends, and our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends
to us, may be further subject to restrictive covenants contained in the facility agreements governing indebtedness we and our subsidiaries may incur. For example, our subsidiary Great Wonders is subject to certain restrictions on paying dividends
under the Great Wonders Project Facility. There is a blanket prohibition on dividends during the construction phase of the Crown Macau. Furthermore, upon completion of the construction of the Crown Macau, Great Wonders will only be able to pay
dividends if it satisfies certain financial tests and conditions. We would expect other financing facilities we may enter into to have similar restrictions. For a description of our loan facilities, see Item 5. Operating and Financial Review
and ProspectsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancing Activities.

Substantial future sales or perceived sales of our ADSs in the public market could cause the price of our ADSs to
decline.

Sales of our ADSs or ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the
market price of our ADSs to decline. The 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares outstanding currently beneficially held by Melco and PBL as to 500 million each, will be available for sale, upon the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period beginning from
December 18, 2006, the date of the prospectus for our initial public offering, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and subject to the terms of their shareholders
deed. Any or all of these shares may be released prior to expiration of the lock-up period at the discretion of the joint lead underwriters in the initial public offering. To the extent shares are released before the expiration of the lock-up period
and these shares are sold into the market, the market price of our ADSs could decline.

In addition, Melco and PBL have the right,
exercisable following six months after completion of our initial public offering, to cause us to register the sale of their shares under the Securities Act, subject to the terms of their shareholders deed. Registration of these shares under
the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable as ADSs without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Sales of these registered shares in the public market could cause
ownership interests in our company to be diluted and this, in turn, could cause the price of our ADSs to decline.

Holders of ADSs have fewer rights
than shareholders and must act through the depositary to exercise those rights.

Holders of ADSs do not have the same rights of our
shareholders and may only exercise the voting rights with respect to the underlying ordinary shares in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Under our amended and restated articles of association, the minimum notice period
required to convene a general meeting is seven days. When a general meeting is convened, you may not receive sufficient notice of a shareholders meeting to permit you to withdraw your ordinary shares to allow you to cast your vote with respect
to any specific matter. In addition, the depositary and its agents may not be able to send voting instructions to you or carry out your voting instructions in a timely manner. We will make all reasonable efforts to cause the depositary to extend
voting rights to you in a timely manner, but we cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your ADSs. Furthermore, the depositary and its agents will not be responsible
for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and you may lack recourse if your ADSs are not voted
as you requested. In addition, in your capacity as an ADS holder, you will not be able to call a shareholder meeting.

You may be subject to
limitations on transfers of your ADSs.

Your ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close
its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the
books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary deem it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other
reason.

Your right to participate in any future rights offerings may be limited, which may cause dilution to your holdings and you may not receive
cash dividends if it is unlawful or impractical to make them available to you.

We may from time to time distribute rights to our
shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we cannot make rights available to you in the United States unless we register the rights and the securities to which the rights relate under the Securities Act or an exemption from
the registration requirements is available. Also, under the deposit agreement, the depositary

bank will not make rights available to you unless the distribution to ADS holders of both the rights and any related
securities are either registered under the Securities Act, or exempted from registration under the Securities Act. We are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or securities or to endeavor to cause such
a registration statement to be declared effective. Moreover, we may not be able to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, you may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution
in your holdings.

In addition, the depositary of our ADSs has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the
custodian receives on our ordinary shares or other deposited securities after deducting its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of ordinary shares your ADSs represent. However, the depositary may, at
its discretion, decide that it is unlawful, inequitable or impractical to make a distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, the depositary may determine that it is not practicable to distribute certain property through the mail, or
that the value of certain distributions may be less than the cost of mailing them. In these cases, the depositary may decide not to distribute such property and you will not receive such distribution.

We are a Cayman Islands company and, because judicial precedent regarding the rights of shareholders is more limited under Cayman Islands law than that under U.S.
law, you may have less protection for your shareholder rights than you would under U.S. law.

Our corporate affairs are governed by
our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Cayman Islands Companies Law (as amended) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority
shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively
limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as that from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our
directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than
the United States. In addition, some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders
than they would as shareholders of a U.S. public company.

You may have difficulty enforcing judgments obtained against us.

We are a Cayman Islands company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. All of our current operations are conducted
in Macau and Hong Kong. In addition, substantially all of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States.
As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in Cayman Islands, Macau and Hong Kong courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on
the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most of whom are not residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States.
In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands, Macau or Hong Kong would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws
of the United States or any state. In addition, it is uncertain whether such Cayman Islands, Macau or Hong Kong courts would be competent to hear original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, Macau or Hong Kong against us or such persons
predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse United States federal
income tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

Based on the price of the ADSs and our ordinary shares, the composition of our income and
assets and our operations, we believe that we were not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended December 31, 2006. However, we must make a separate
determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC (after the close of each taxable year). Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2007 or any future taxable year. A
non-U.S. corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets
during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. The value of our assets generally will be determined by reference to the market price of our ADSs and ordinary shares, which may
fluctuate considerably. In addition, the composition of our income and assets will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash we raise in any offering. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held an
ADS or an ordinary share, certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences could apply to the U.S. Holder. See Item 10. Additional InformationE. TaxationUnited States Federal Income TaxationPassive Foreign
Investment Company.

We have incurred and will continue to incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we have incurred and will continue to incur a significantly higher level of legal, accounting and other expenses than we did as a
private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and the Nasdaq, have required changes in corporate governance
practices of public companies. We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, the SEC, as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such companys internal control over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains managements assessment of the effectiveness
of the companys internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on managements assessment of the effectiveness of the companys internal controls
over financial reporting. These requirements will first apply to our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2007. This requirement and other obligations as a public company may place a significant strain on our
management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may
incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, because we are at an early stage of development, we are still forming other management and accounting teams and laying the preliminary foundation of our internal control disclosures and procedures.
Compliance with SEC and Nasdaq rules at such an early stage of development may pose extra costs and challenges on us.

ITEM4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.
History and Development of the Company

We were incorporated in December 2004 as an exempted company with limited liability under the
laws of the Cayman Islands and registered as an oversea company under the laws of Hong Kong in November 2006. We are a developer, owner and, through MPBL Gaming, an operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities focused exclusively on
the rapidly expanding Macau market. Our subsidiary MPBL Gaming is one of six companies authorized by the Macau government to operate casinos in Macau. We have two current casino gaming and entertainment projects under development: the Crown Macau
Hotel Casino and the City of Dreams integrated casino complex. We recently announced that the Crown Macau is targeted to complete construction and open on a trial basis on April 28, 2007 and scheduled to formally open to the public on
May 9, 2007, with a grand opening event to be held on May 12, 2007. Phase one of the City of Dreams is targeted to open in late 2008. MPBL Gaming currently operates six Mocha Clubs featuring a total of approximately 1,000 gaming machines,
or slot machines. We have also entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a third development site that is located on the shoreline of the Macau peninsula. We have been formed as a 50/50 joint venture between Melco and PBL as their exclusive
vehicle to carry on casino, gaming machine and casino hotel operations in Macau.

B. Business Overview

We are a developer, owner and,
through our subsidiary MPBL Gaming, operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities focused exclusively on the rapidly expanding Macau market. MPBL Gaming is one of six companies licensed, through concessions or subconcessions, to
operate casinos in Macau. We have been formed as a 50/50 joint venture between Melco and PBL as their exclusive vehicle to carry on casino, gaming machines and casino hotel operations in Macau.

We have chosen to focus on the Macau gaming market because we believe that Macau is well positioned to be one of the largest gaming destinations in the
world. In 2005 and 2006, Macau generated approximately US$5.7 billion and US$7.0 billion of gaming revenue, respectively, compared to the US$5.9 billion and US$6.5 billion of gaming revenue (excluding sports book and race book), respectively,
generated on the Las Vegas Strip, according to the DICJ and the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Atlantic City generated approximately US$5.0 billion and US$3.9 billion (excluding sports book and race book) in 2005 and the nine months ended September
30, 2006 , respectively, according to the New Jersey Casino Control Commission. Gaming revenue in Macau has increased at a five-year compounded annual growth rate, or CAGR, from 2001 to 2006 of 23.4% compared to a CAGR of 7.3% for the Las Vegas
Strip (excluding sports book and race book). Gaming revenue in Atlantic City has increased at a five-year CAGR from 2000 to 2005 of 3.1% (excluding sports book and race book). Macau benefits from its proximity to one of the worlds largest
pools of existing and potential gaming patrons and is currently the only market in Greater China, and one of only several in Asia, to offer legalized casino gaming.

Through our existing operations and projects currently under development, we will cater to a broad spectrum of potential gaming patrons, including wealthy high-end patrons, who seek the excitement of high stakes
gaming, as well as mass market patrons, who wager lower stakes and may be more casual gaming patrons seeking a broader entertainment experience. We will seek to attract these patrons from throughout Asia and in particular from Greater China.

Our existing operations and development projects consist of:



| |  |  | The Crown Macau. We began construction of the Crown Macau in December 2004 and completed the topping out of the Crown Macau in November 2006. We recently
announced that the Crown Macau is targeted to complete construction and open on a trial basis on April 28, 2007 and scheduled to formally open to the public on May 9, 2007 and a grand opening event will be held on May 12, 2007. The
Crown Macau is being developed to offer a luxurious premium hotel and casino resort experience by offering premium entertainment, elegant facilities, high quality service and rich décor, and is being designed with the aim of exceeding the
average five-star hotel in Macau. Total project costs are currently budgeted at approximately US$583.6 million. Gaming venues traditionally available to high stakes patrons in Macau have not offered the luxurious accommodations and facilities we aim
to offer at the Crown Macau, focusing primarily on intensive gaming during day trips and short visits to Macau. The property will feature a 36-story tower including approximately 183,000 square feet of gaming space with approximately 220 gaming
tables and more than 500 gaming machines, and a luxury premium hotel with approximately 216 deluxe hotel rooms, including 24 suites and eight villas, designed with the aim of exceeding the average five-star hotel in Macau.

| |  |  | The City of Dreams.We began site preparation of our City of Dreams project in the second quarter of 2006, had our ground-breaking ceremony in April 2006 and
have commenced substantial piling work at the site. We currently target to open the initial phase of the complex in late 2008, targeted to include substantial completion of the casino, retail space, two hotels, which are expected to be operated
under the Crown Towers and Hard Rock brands, and the performance hall, which is targeted to be completed in the second half of 2008 and ready to host performances in the second half of 2009. The second phase of the complex is targeted to be
completed in the second half of 2009. We originally contemplated developing two additional hotels to be operated under the Grant Hyatt and Hyatt Regency brands in the second phase with approximately 1,000 rooms and suites. However, subject to
further discussion with Hyatt, we are now contemplating developing the two hotels into a twin-tower hotel with no reduction in the number of rooms. With a total project development budget currently at approximately US$2.1 billion, we are developing
the City of Dreams to be a must-see integrated casino and entertainment resort primarily for mass market patrons. The City of Dreams will be located on the Cotai Strip, an area that has been master planned to feature a series of major
new developments in the style of the Las Vegas Strip. The City of Dreams is planned to feature hotels ranging from four-stars to luxurious ones designed with the aim of exceeding the average five-star hotel in Macau, with a total of approximately
1,600 hotel rooms, an underwater-themed casino with approximately 450 gaming tables and 1,500 gaming machines, a performance hall, an upscale shopping mall and a wide variety of mid- to high-end food and beverage outlets. We also plan to develop one
block of luxury serviced apartment units, for both long and short-term occupancy in phase two of the project and, depending on the market conditions, may develop a second block thereafter. The development of the serviced apartment units may be
subject to Macau government approval and the approval of our lenders under our debt facilities. The cost of a second block of apartments has not been included in the current total project development budget for the City of Dreams.

setting and to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities for machine-based gaming in Macau.

| |  |  | Macau Peninsula Site.We have entered into an agreement to acquire the Macau Peninsula site, which is located on the shoreline of the Macau peninsula near
the current Macau Ferry Terminal, for HK$1.5 billion (US$192.8 million). We expect to pay a land premium of HK$150 million (US$19.3 million) to the Macau government. Completion of the purchase remains subject to significant conditions in the control
of third parties unrelated to us and the seller. We are currently considering plans for the development of the Macau Peninsula site into a mixed-use hotel, serviced apartment and casino facility targeted primarily at day-trip gaming patrons, and
target its opening in the middle of 2009 if we are able to acquire the site. Based on preliminary estimates and conceptual designs, the total project costs for the Macau Peninsula project is currently budgeted at a range of approximately US$650
million to US$700 million.

Our Properties

The Crown Macau

We began construction of the Crown Macau in December 2004. Our objective in building the Crown Macau
is primarily to serve the high-end market by providing a luxurious casino and hotel experience, while tailoring the experience to meet the cultural preferences and expectations of Asian high-end customers. Recognizing that these discerning customers
expect and demand luxury, the Crown Macau is designed to provide luxurious hotel suites and dining facilities, high-limit table offerings and private gaming rooms. We recently announced that the Crown Macau is targeted to complete construction and
open on a trial basis on April 28, 2007 and scheduled to formally open to the public on May 9, 2007 and a grand opening event will be held on May 12, 2007.

We currently estimate that the total cost of developing and constructing the Crown Macau to the point of opening will be approximately US$583.6 million, inclusive of land and construction costs, FF&E, pre-opening
expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs, cage cash and initial working capital requirements.

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2006, we had paid approximately US$275.0 million of our total US$583.6 million
budgeted project costs to our contractors, primarily to Paul Y. Construction for design and construction fees, the land costs and land premium. The majority of development and construction costs are typically spent closer to the completion of a
construction project and a large portion of our remaining US$308.6 million of the Crown Macau project costs is being spent in the months leading up to the targeted opening date of the Crown Macau in early May 2007. With equity contributions from
Melco and PBL, part of the proceeds of our initial public offering of ADSs and the HK$1,280 million (US$164.5 million) Great Wonders Project Facility we have entered into to finance construction of the Crown Macau, we have sufficient funding to
complete construction of the Crown Macau. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsB. Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancing Activities for details of the Great Wonders Project Facility.

The Casino. A spacious casino with approximately 183,000 square feet of gaming space is planned, including the first seven floors and some of the
higher VIP floors of the hotel. The casino will feature a general gaming area as well as high-limit private gaming rooms catering to high-end patrons. We expect the casino to feature a total of approximately 220 gaming tables and more than 500
gaming machines. Of the approximately 220 gaming tables, approximately 50 will be high-limit tables located on the top two floors of the main casino podium as well as in some of the upper level floors of the hotel tower, providing our high-end
patrons with a premium gaming experience in an exclusive private environment. We plan that the table limits on our main casino floors will accommodate a full range of casino patrons while still focusing on the high-end market and premium end of the
mass market.

The Hotel.We expect that upon completion, the 36-story Crown Macau, which will be operated under the Crown
Towers brand, will be positioned to become one of the leading hotel casinos in Macau catering to high-end patrons. The top floor of the hotel will serve as the hotel lobby and reception area, providing guests with sweeping views of the
surrounding area. The hotel will comprise approximately 216 oversized deluxe rooms, including 24 high-end suites and eight villas and will feature a luxurious interior design combining elegance and comfort with some of the latest in-room
entertainment and communication facilities.

The Crown Macau will feature a range of high-quality non-gaming entertainment venues,
including a spa, gymnasium, outdoor garden podium and a sky terrace lounge.

Food and Beverage. A number of restaurants and dining
facilities will be available at the Crown Macau. We intend to have four fine dining restaurants, featuring a variety of international cuisines, that we intend to be among the best in Macau including a branch of Tenmasa, a renowned Japanese
restaurant in Tokyo. The Crown Macau will also feature several Chinese and international restaurants, dining areas and restaurants focused around the gaming areas and a range of bars across multiple levels of the property. The operator that we are
selecting for one of the Crown Macaus restaurants is renowned for the quality of their food, service and décor, which we believe will provide additional reasons for gaming patrons to visit and stay at the Crown Macau.

Design and Construction Team.We have engaged Paul Y. Construction as the general contractor for the Crown Macau project and have assembled a team
of specialists to design and construct the Crown Macau.

Property.In March 2006, the Macau
government granted to Great Wonders, our wholly owned subsidiary through which the Crown Macau is being developed, a 25-year renewable lease for an approximately 5,230 square meter (56,295 square feet) plot of land for the Crown Macau. The Macau
government has approved a gross floor area of approximately 95,000 square meters (1,022,600 square feet). Under this lease, we are obligated to pay a land premium of approximately MOP 149.7 million (US$18.7 million), with MOP 50 million
(US$6.2 million) due at our acceptance of the terms and conditions of the lease, which was paid on November 25, 2005 and the balance due in four equal semi-annual installments bearing interest at 5% per annum. We paid the outstanding
balance in July 2006. A guarantee deposit of approximately MOP 157,000 (US$20,000) was payable upon signing of the lease, subject to adjustments in accordance with the relevant amount of rent payable during the year. During construction, rent will
be due at an annual rate of MOP 30 (US$4) per square meter of land, or an aggregate of approximately MOP 157,000 (US$20,000). After construction, annual rent per square meter will be MOP 15 (US$2) for the hotel, MOP 10 (US$1) for the parking
lot and MOP 10 (US$1) for the outdoor areas, or an aggregate of approximately MOP 1,372,000 (US$171,000). The rent amounts may be adjusted every five years as agreed between the Macau government and us using applicable market rates in effect at the
time of the rent adjustment.

Construction Contract. In November 2004, Great Wonders entered into a contract with Paul Y.
Construction for the construction and design of the Crown Macau. Under the terms of the contract, Paul Y. Construction acts as the general contractor and oversees all aspects of the design and construction of this project. In addition, the
parent company of Paul Y. Construction, PYE, is providing a parent company guarantee of Paul Y. Constructions full performance of this contract until final payment is made by Great Wonders. Other principal terms of the contract include the
following:



| |  |  | the general contractors obligations including, without limitation, its obligation to coordinate and execute construction works of all third parties hired by
Paul Y. Construction and us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the total contract price payable to Paul Y. Construction and mechanisms for adjusting the total contract price and extending the completion date in certain
circumstances;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the liquidated damages provision for any completion delays and non-conforming works caused by Paul Y. Construction until the completion certificate is signed and
delivered by us; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the termination and dispute resolution provisions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

We are obligated to pay under the contract a prime cost incurred by Paul Y. Construction and all third parties retained by Paul Y. Construction to work on this project and a percentage fee of 6% of the prime cost,
subject to reduction in the percentage fee for any completion delay caused by Paul Y. Construction. The prime cost represents all costs, other than Paul Y. Constructions head office overhead costs, for its project management team, labor,
materials, goods, plant, site facilities, services (including design services), and sub-contracted works for the design and construction of the work Paul Y. Construction performs for us under the

contract. However, cost increases that are due to causes that are not included in the total contract price will be borne
by us. For example, as a result of changes and improvements in the designs for the Crown Macau project, our construction cost has increased and we have negotiated an amendment to increase the original total contract price from HK$1,448.0 million
(US$186.1 million) to approximately HK$2.1 billion (US$269.9 million). The total contract price of HK$2.1 billion (US$269.9 million) consists of: (i) HK$1,386 million (US$178.1 million) fixed lump sum costs; (ii) HK$603 million
(US$77.5 million) for provisional and contingency costs; and (iii) a HK$110 million (US$14.1 million) fee. We also revised the guaranteed date of practical completion for the casino and hotels to on or before the end of April 2007.

The City of Dreams

We have entered into
principles of understanding in August 2006 to engage a joint venture between Leighton, China State Construction and John Holland as the general contractor for the City of Dreams project and we are currently in the process of negotiating the
definitive contract between the parties. As contemplated in the principles of understanding, it is expected that each of the parties forming the contractor joint venture will provide to us, to the extent that the relevant contractor is not the
ultimate holding company of its group, a parent company guarantee securing the due performance of the relevant contractors obligations under the definitive contract and in return, we are expected to provide a guarantee to the contractors
guaranteeing the due performance of Melco Hotels obligations under the definitive contract.

We began site preparation of the City of
Dreams project in the second quarter of 2006. Our objective in building the City of Dreams is to offer a must-see integrated casino resort, entertainment, retail and food and beverage complex that will be attractive to a wide range of
customers, with a particular focus on mass market individual and group customers, including families, while still catering to VIP customers.

The City of Dreams will be located on the Cotai Strip, a newly reclaimed area of Macau between the islands of Taipa and Coloane, which has been master-planned for the development of a series of major Las Vegas Strip-style hotel casino
resorts featuring large-scale casino floors and a range of supporting entertainment and hospitality facilities such as a performance hall, exhibition and conference facilities, showrooms, shopping malls, spas and other attractions. The City of
Dreams will be well-positioned at the northern end of the Cotai Strip, which will make it one of the closest destination resorts on the Cotai Strip to the Macau International Airport and the newly planned Hong Kong/Macau Ferry Pier.

We currently plan to complete the City of Dreams project in two phases, with the completion of the first phase targeted for late 2008 and the second
phase targeted for the second half of 2009. We currently plan the casino to be substantially completed during the first phase, along with two hotels, most of the retail space, food and beverage outlets and the performance hall, which we have
targeted to be completed in the second half of 2008 and ready to host performances in the second half of 2009. We originally contemplated developing two additional hotels to be operated under the Grant Hyatt and Hyatt Regency brands in the second
phase with approximately 1,000 rooms and suites. However, subject to further discussion with Hyatt, we are now contemplating developing the two hotels into a twin-tower hotel with no reduction in the number of rooms. We also currently target to
complete the serviced apartments during the second phase. The current total project development budget for constructing, developing and opening both phases of the City of Dreams project is approximately US$2.1 billion, inclusive of land,
construction, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs and initial working capital requirements (including cage cash). As the City of Dreams project progresses, we continue to improve and vary its overall scope within the
original timetable to completion, and by reference to the existing total project development budget. This is against a background of rising costs of construction, services and materials in Macau. We anticipate an increase in the total project
development budget for the City of Dreams, and we will continue to explore ways to mitigate the effect of anticipated budget increases through various cost saving measures. In addition, subject to obtaining Macau governmental approvals that may be
required and approvals from the City of Dreams Project Facility lenders, finalizing plans and raising any additional financing that may be needed, we may construct one block of deluxe serviced apartments at the City of Dreams in phase two of the
project and, depending on market conditions, a second block thereafter. The cost of a second block of apartments has not been included in the current total project development budget for the City of Dreams project. All of the features of the City of
Dreams described in this annual report on Form 20-F are based on our current plans for the project, and, therefore, the design of individual elements of the City of Dreams may be refined from this description. However, project changes will be
limited in certain respects by the documents governing our indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2006, we had paid approximately US$193.0 million of our US$2.1 billion
current total project development budget for the City of Dreams project, primarily for the land costs and land premium, construction costs and design and consultation fees. We expect to fund a portion of the project costs from equity contributions
by PBL and Melco, proceeds of the initial public offering of our ADSs and part of the US$1.6 billion City of Dreams Project Facility for which we have signed a commitment letter with certain banks as arrangers.

The Casino. We plan to offer an underwater-themed casino of approximately 420,000 square feet housing approximately 450 gaming tables, including
approximately 50 high-limit tables in exclusive VIP salons, and approximately 1,500 gaming machines with potential for future expansion. We target the casino to be substantially completed as part of the first phase.

The Hotels.The City of Dreams is planned to include full service luxury hotels with a total of approximately 1,600 rooms, consisting of:
(1) a luxury premium hotel designed with the aim of exceeding the average five-star hotels in Macau, to be operated under the Crown Towers brand by us with approximately 300 rooms, suites and villas; (2) a themed hotel to be operated under
the Hard Rock brand with approximately 370 rooms and suites; and (3) as for the second phase and subject to our further discussion with Hyatt, a twin-tower hotel to be operated under the Grand Hyatt brand (originally this component was contemplated
to be operated by Hyatt as two separate hotels with one operating under the Grand Hyatt brand and the other under the Hyatt Regency brand) with approximately 1,000 rooms and suites. We intend the City of Dreams to feature one of Asia's largest
destination spas, featuring a health club, a beauty treatment center and several rejuvenation facilities, which will help to ensure that our guests enjoy a relaxing and luxurious stay.

Performance Hall. A performance hall offering approximately 2,000-seats is included in the plan of the City of Dreams. The performance hall, which
is being designed by the award winning Pei Partnership Architects according to the specifications of Dragone, is expected to host performances that cater to the preferences of the Asian mass market. We currently expect to complete the performance
hall in the second half of 2008 and have it ready to host performances in the second half of 2009. It is expected to offer a production created by Dragone, the co-producer and creator of Celine Dions A New Day show. The artistic
director and founder of Dragone was the director and creator of several Cirque du Soleil shows.

Retail Area.Our plan includes a
retail area of approximately 50,000-square feet. The shopping mall will feature a wide range of shops with a retail mix which is designed to cater to the needs of residential guests and to attract other visitors to the complex. We currently expect
to complete the majority of the retail stores during phase one, with the remainder to be completed in phase two.

Serviced Apartment
Units. We plan to develop one block of luxury serviced apartment units, for both long and short-term occupancy in phase two of the project and, depending on the market conditions, may develop a second block thereafter. These developments may be
subject to Macau governments approval and approval of our lenders under our debt facilities. The cost of a second block of apartments has not been included in the current total project development budget for the City of Dreams project.

Food and Beverage.We plan to position the City of Dreams as one of the leading destinations for food and beverage on the Cotai
Strip by offering an extensive range of high-quality food and beverage facilities. We intend to secure some of the most well-known international food and beverage brands and celebrity chefs. The City of Dreams is planned to include over 20 mid- to
high-end restaurants plus a range of other dining outlets offering a variety of cuisines and dining styles to service both our gaming customers as well as to attract other customers from competing Macau properties as well as nearby Hong Kong and
Guangzhou, China. We currently expect to complete significant portions of the food and beverage outlets during phase one.

Entertainment
Venues. The City of Dreams is planned to feature a variety of recreational facilities designed to attract customers to the complex. The complex is also planned to feature a range of concept bars and night clubs, a karaoke lounge and a nightly
live performance venue. For groups and families, the property will also feature a large non-gaming entertainment zone offering a range of entertainment and amusement activities. We currently expect to complete the entertainment venues throughout
phases one and two.

Conference Rooms and Ballrooms. We plan to build approximately 81,000 square feet of high quality conference,
banqueting and ballroom facilities, featuring some of the latest audio and visual equipment. We will aim to make these facilities the preferred

venues of choice in Macau for high-end banqueting and corporate hospitality. These facilities will be located within the
Grand Hyatt Hotel and are planned to be completed in phase two.

Properties.The Macau government, in a letter dated April 21, 2005, offered to grant to our
subsidiary, Melco Hotels, a 25-year renewable lease for the development rights in respect of two adjacent land parcels on the Cotai Strip in Macau with a combined area of 113,325 square meters (approximately 1.2 million square feet) for the
City of Dreams, which offer was accepted by Melco Hotels on May 10, 2005. The Macau government has given approval for a developable gross floor area at the site of 403,692 square meters (approximately 4.3 million square feet). Melco Hotels
intends to seek approval for development of 452,400 square meters (approximately 4.9 million square feet), rather than the 403,692 square meters (approximately 4.3 million square feet) contemplated by the Macau government.

The proposed lease terms require us to pay a land premium of approximately MOP 509 million (US$63.4 million), with MOP 170 million (US$21.2
million) due at signing of the lease and the balance due in nine equal semi-annual installments bearing interest at 5% per annum. We must also provide a guarantee deposit of MOP 2,290,000 (US$285,000), subject to adjustments in accordance
with the relevant amount of rent payable during the year. If the Macau government approves our request to increase the developable gross floor area at the site, we anticipate that the land premium may increase by approximately MOP
69 million (US$8.6 million) to MOP 110 million (US$13.7 million).

During the construction period, we will pay the Macau
government rent at an annual rate of MOP 20 (US$3) per square meter of land, or an aggregate annual amount of MOP 2,290,000 (US$285,000). Following completion of construction, annual rent per square meter will vary depending on the use of the areas
within the site. The rent amounts may be adjusted every five years.

Mocha Clubs Operations

The Mocha Clubs focus on mass market, casual gaming patrons, including local residents and day-trip customers. We intend that the Mocha Clubs will grow to
form a network of small to medium-sized clubs that feature a friendly atmosphere, with an upscale décor and café ambiance to appeal to customers that historically have been overlooked in Macau by the casinos focused on high-end table
game patrons. We believe that there are significant growth opportunities for gaming machines in Macau. The Las Vegas Strip gaming market generates more than 50% of its gaming revenues from gaming machines and electronic gaming, as compared to
approximately 3% in Macau. According to the DICJ and the Nevada Gaming Control Board, while the total number of gaming machines in Macau has increased to over 6,100 at the end of December 2006 from approximately 3,400 at the end of 2005 from
approximately 2,250 at the end of 2004 and approximately 800 at the end of 2003, the number remains small when compared to the approximately 51,000 gaming machines in Las Vegas Strip at the end of December 2006. In addition, many of the existing
machines are older machines that do not employ the latest technology.

Our machines are the latest models from suppliers such as IGT,
Aristocrat and Stargames. We offer both single player machines with a variety of games, including progressive jackpots and multi-player games where players on linked machines play against each other in electronic roulette, baccarat and sicbo, a
traditional Chinese dice game.

We have implemented a Mocha loyalty program, where players earn points for frequent play that can be
redeemed for complimentary prizes. We use the IGT Advantage player tracking system. The IGT Advantage system is able to present the player with interactive enhanced bonus, game and promotional events. The IGT Advantage system serves as a marketing
and merchandising platform for casino venue amenities. The IGT Advantage system also allows players to track their activity for more than a ten-year period. We intend to continue to use this system in connection with our marketing and advertising
resources to enhance our ability to target repeat players.

Currently, the six Mocha Clubs feature a total of approximately 1,000 gaming
machines. Our Mocha Clubs accounted for approximately 28.2% of the gross gaming machine revenue in Macau for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our average daily net win per machine is higher than the industry average in Macau.

|(1) | Average daily net win per machine for any period/year represents the total gaming machine win during such period divided by the weighted average number of gaming machines in service
during such period/year. Gaming machine win is the excess of the amount of money deposited by players into the gaming machine over the amount of money paid out of the gaming machine to players. Prior to MPBL Gaming obtaining its subconcession in
September 2006, Mocha Slot provided management services to the Mocha Clubs under service agreements with SJM. Mocha Slot received 31% of gaming machine win as its revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, while SJM retained 31% of gaming machine win,
and Macau taxes and other government dues accounted for the remaining 38%. After the subconcession was granted and these service agreements were terminated with effect from September 21, 2006, we now reflect all the gaming machine win as our
revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, but we are subject to Macau taxes and other government dues currently totaling 39% of gaming machine win.

|(2) | Since MPBL Gaming obtained its subconcession, we are not allowed to operate any Mocha Clubs in buildings in which other concessionaires or subconcessionaires have gaming operations.
This has required relocating the Kampek Mocha Club, which was located in facilities in which SJM conducts gaming operations under its concession, and which we closed on September 21, 2006. The weighted average number of gaming machines used for
the purposes of calculating average daily net win per machine at the Kampek Mocha Club were calculated for the period from January 1, 2006 to September 20, 2006 before its closure. We have moved the former Kampek Mocha Club to Marina
Plaza, where approximately 260 gaming machines are available. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we have incurred approximately HK$8.7 million (US$1.1 million) in provision of services to gaming machine lounges attributable to the relocation
of the facility.

|(3) | The total weighted average number of gaming machines and average daily net win per machine for the year ended December 31, 2006 for all of the Mocha Clubs as a whole were
calculated with the inclusion of the Kampek Mocha Clubs operating data for the period from January 1, 2006 to September 20, 2006.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We seek to locate the Mocha Clubs in convenient locations with strong pedestrian traffic, which are typically located within three-star hotels. The Mocha Clubs generally offer diverse machine gaming options with an
average of approximately 162 gaming machines in each club, and range from approximately 2,100 square feet to 12,000 square feet. Each Mocha Club provides café style snacks and beverages to its guests. In March 2007, we signed a lease for a
seventh Mocha Club. The property is approximately 10,000 square feet in size and the term of the lease ends in December 2021, renewable upon our advance notice and terminable upon our advance notice subject to our compensation equal to half of
the rent payable for the remaining term of the lease. We are also seeking additional sites for Mocha Clubs throughout Macau.

Macau Peninsula Project

We are in the process of acquiring a third development site, the Macau Peninsula site, which has a size of approximately 6,480
square meters (69,750 square feet), and is located on the shoreline of the Macau Peninsula near the current Macau Ferry Terminal. On May 17, 2006, our subsidiary, MPBL Peninsula, entered into a promissory agreement to purchase the site by
acquiring all the outstanding shares of Sociedade de Fomento Predial Omar, Limitada, or Omar. Omar is the current owner of the site. Dr. Stanley Ho is one of the five directors of Omar but owns no shares of Omar. The acquisition price in the
promissory agreement we have entered into is HK$1.5 billion (US$192.8 million), of which we have paid a deposit of HK$100 million (US$12.9 million). We also expect that the acquisition of the site will require payment of a land premium of HK$150
million (US$19.3 million) to the Macau government. Our purchase of the Macau Peninsula site remains subject to important conditions, some of which are not in our control, including approval of the Macau government of an extension of the deadline for
completion of development on the site and other

##### Table of Contents

conditions in the control of other parties. We have begun preliminary conceptual and design work on the potential Macau
Peninsula project and we currently contemplate that we would develop a mixed-use apartment hotel and casino facility on the site targeted primarily at day-trip gaming patrons. If obtained, we target completing the Macau Peninsula project in the
middle of 2009. Based on preliminary estimates and conceptual designs, the total project costs for the Macau Peninsula project is currently budgeted at a range of approximately US$650 million to US$700 million, which includes anticipated land and
construction costs, land premium costs, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs, cage cash and initial working capital requirements.

Macau Studio City Project

MPBL Gaming expects to enter into a services agreement with New Cotai Entertainment, LLC,
under which MPBL Gaming will operate the casino portions of the Macau Studio City project, a large scale integrated gaming, retail and entertainment resort development that is targeted to open on the Cotai Strip during 2009. The project is being
developed by a joint venture between eSun Holdings Limited and New Cotai Holdings, LLC, which is primarily owned by investment funds and David Friedman, a former senior executive of Las Vegas Sands. While the definitive terms of the services
agreement remain subject to finalization, we anticipate that a percentage, to be agreed upon, of the gross gaming revenues from the casino operations of Macau Studio City will be retained by MPBL Gaming. We will not be responsible for any of the
projects capital development costs, and the operating expenses of the casino will be substantially borne by New Cotai Entertainment.

general manager and was responsible for such landmark projects as Langham Place, a complex development which includes retail, office, hotel and government facilities, and Eaton Hotel, as well as Astor Plaza redevelopment projects.

Mr. Greg Wheat has served as our Technical DirectorServices since August 2006. He is responsible for all matters relating to the
design of services on the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams projects. Prior to joining us, he was the property operations manager at Conrad Jupiters Casino on the Gold Coast in Australia for the period between 1998 to June 2006, responsible for
services operation and project management. He was also responsible for services design and operation of major facilities such as Shangri-la Hotel in Sydney during the period between 1990 and 1994, the Sydney Harbour Casino, a temporary facility to
the Star City Casino and the Star City Casino complex during the period between 1994 and 1998.

Advertising and Marketing

We will seek to attract customers to our properties and to grow our customer base over time by implementing and undertaking the following marketing
activities and plans:

Press and Public Relations. We believe that utilizing the local and regional media to publicize our
projects and operations before our openings, and our continued daily operations is an effective, highly visible and low-cost tool to market our facilities to a large number of people across several market segments. We intend to build a public
relations management team that will cultivate media relationships and directly liaise with customers within target Asian countries in order to explore media opportunities in various markets. We also intend to leverage Melcos existing
relationships with local and regional media.

Advertising. We intend to build an internal advertising department responsible
for promoting our brands and projects and marketing preferred products to potential customers around Asia. Advertising will include magazine and print pieces, airport duratrans, roadway billboards, radio and television spots (as permitted by Macau
laws), collateral and direct mail pieces and handouts.

Promotions. We intend to create a range of promotions that offer a
tangible benefit for the customer as a result of the customers interaction with the casinos and hotels. Promotions may include discounts, match play offers, free credits, bonuses, competitions and special draws. Promotions will be targeted at
different market segments and may be used to market the casinos and hotels as well as their individual amenities, such as, restaurants and special guests clubs.

Special Events. We will host different types of entertainment and exclusive functions
designed to bring customers to the property. We will target various market segments with customer-specific events, which will be designed to cater to our customers needs and expectations, with the objective of cultivating repeat customer
visitation and developing long-term customer relationships.

Casino Marketing. To the extent permitted by the applicable laws
in different jurisdictions, we plan to engage in extensive marketing to casino patrons in order to attract them to our casinos. We intend to develop player lists and client databases in order to attract new and repeat high-limit casino patrons as
well as develop marketing strategies to attract mass market clientele, including the use of direct mail and telemarketing to draw casino patrons. We will seek to utilize the marketing resources of our founders, including Melcos marketing teams
and PBLs existing gaming office network, to assist in sourcing customers for our properties. Marketing to Asian high-end customers requires specialist skills. The PBL gaming office network is well experienced in this regard, and has developed
close and long standing relationships with customers that we intend to leverage.

Loyalty Programs. We expect to implement a
customer relationship management program to foster and closely monitor our customer base to develop customer loyalty. This is expected to be closely modeled on Crowns successful Crown Club program. Utilizing PBLs gaming
experience with customer analytics, we will build a database of customer profiles, which will enable us to target customers in various segments. We will provide Club Cards to casino patrons in order to track their individual activity, enabling the
creation of customer profiles from both a gaming and non-gaming perspective. In addition, hotel management software will interface with casino management software, allowing us to effectively market an overall gaming and entertainment product to
these guests.

Entertainment. We intend to research the markets entertainment demands in order to identify and then
offer attractive options to our clientele, whether to the high-end or mass market. Our casino lounges and main live performance venues will allow us to offer a variety of entertainment options for multiple market segments, provide continuous
entertainment daily between settings, and use these offerings as an effective tool to build brand identity, generate repeat visitations and attract new guests. These exclusive events are expected to be programmed into the operating calendar
regularly to maintain certain customer volumes and to fill capacity during lower-demand periods.

Networking Junket
Operators. We plan to build a network of selected junket operators to help source and assist in managing high-end customers for our properties. We will develop a series of commission and other incentive-based programs to offer to junket
operators and individuals alike, to be competitive in the Macau gaming environment.

Competition

We believe that the gaming market in Macau is and will continue to be intensely competitive. Our competitors in Macau and elsewhere in Asia include all
the current concession and subconcession holders and many of the largest gaming, hospitality, leisure and property development companies in the world. Many of these current and future competitors are significantly larger than us and have
significantly greater capital, financing capability and other resources as well as a longer track record of operation of major hotel casino resort properties. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in the Macau market or,
if we are able to achieve such success, that we will be able to maintain it.

Gaming in Macau is administered through government-sanctioned
concessions awarded to three different concessionairesSJM, the incumbent gaming operator in Macau, which is controlled by Dr. Stanley Ho, the father of Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Wynn Macau, a
subsidiary of Wynn Resorts Ltd., and Galaxy, a consortium of Hong Kong and Macau businessmen. SJM has granted a subconcession to MGM Grand Paradise Limited, a joint venture formed by MGM-Mirage and Pansy Ho, Dr. Stanley Hos daughter and
the sister of Mr. Lawrence Ho. Galaxy has granted a subconcession to Venetian Macau, the developer of the Sands Macao and the Venetian Macao. MPBL Gaming obtained its subconcession under the concession of Wynn Macau.

##### Table of Contents

The existing concessions and subconcessions do not place any limit on the number of gaming facilities
that may be operated. In addition to facing competition from existing operations of these concessionaires and subconcessionaires, we will face increased competition when any of them constructs new, or renovates pre-existing, casinos in Macau or
enters into leasing, services or other arrangements with hotel owners, developers or other parties for the operation of casinos and gaming activities in new or renovated properties, as SJM and Galaxy have done. The Macau government has agreed under
the existing concessions that it will not grant any additional gaming concessions until April 2009 and has publicly stated that each concessionaire will only be permitted to grant one subconcession. However, the laws and policies of the Macau
government could change and permit the Macau government to grant additional gaming concessions or subconcessions before 2009. If the Macau government were to allow additional competitors to operate in Macau through the grant of additional
concessions or subconcessions, we would face additional competition.

SJM. SJM, the incumbent operator, holds one of
the three gaming concessions in Macau and currently operates 18 casinos throughout Macau. SJM has invested in projects such as the new Grand Lisboa and the Fishermans Wharf entertainment complex. SJM has also announced the construction of
Oceanus, a new casino complex near the current Macau Ferry Terminal. As the incumbent operator controlled by Dr. Stanley Ho, SJM has extensive experience in operating in the Macau market and long-established relationships in Macau.

Wynn Macau.Wynn Macau holds a gaming concession and opened the Wynn Resorts (Macau) hotel casino in September 2006 on the Macau
peninsula. Wynn Macau has also announced that it plans to develop several projects on the Cotai Strip.

Galaxy.
Galaxy, the third concessionaire in Macau, currently operates five casinos which principally target high-limit gaming customers from China, primarily through relationships with junket operators in Macau. In October 2006, Galaxy opened the Galaxy
StarWorld, a hotel and casino resort in Macaus central business and tourism district. Galaxy has also announced plans to develop the Galaxy Cotai Mega Resort on the Cotai Strip, with several hotels and four casinos.

Las Vegas Sands. With a subconcession under Galaxys concession, Venetian Macao, a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Las Vegas Sands
Corp., operates the Sands Macao hotel and casino. In addition to the Sands Macao, Las Vegas Sands Corp. is building the Venetian Macao, hotel, casino, shopping and convention center on the Cotai Strip. Venetian Macao has also submitted to the Macau
government a development plan to develop additional hotel developments in Cotai, in partnership with some of the worlds leading hotel brands and operators, which would include additional casinos and other amenities.

MGM Grand Paradise Limited. MGM-Mirage has entered into a joint venture agreement with Pansy Ho, the daughter of Dr. Stanley Ho and
the sister of Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to develop, build and operate a major hotel-casino resort in Macau. MGM Grand Paradise Limited, the joint venture, has been granted a subconcession under SJMs
concession. MGM Grand Paradise Limited has announced the development of the MGM Grand Macau, which will be located next to the Wynn Resorts (Macau) on the Macau peninsula and is expected to be opened in 2007.

Cruise Ships. Star Cruises (Hong Kong) Ltd., or Star Cruises, is a leading cruise line in the Asia Pacific and is one of the largest cruise
line operators in the world. Worldwide, Star Cruises presently operates a combined fleet of approximately 20 ships with more than 26,000 lower berths. Star Cruises vessels in Asia Pacific offer extensive gaming to their passengers. These cruise
vessels will compete for Asian-based patrons with our gaming operations in Macau.

Other Asian Destinations. We may also face
competition from casinos and gaming resorts in Malaysia, South Korea, the Philippines, Cambodia, Australia and New Zealand. Genting Highlands is a popular international gaming resort in Malaysia approximately a one-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur.
Although successful, we believe that the Genting Highlands caters to a different market than Macau, in large part because of the distance and travel times from the Greater China population centers from which Macau is expected to draw its principal
traffic. South Korea has allowed gaming for some time but these offerings are available

primarily to foreign visitors. However, the Kangwon Land Casino recently opened in an old mining area of Korea that
allows Korean nationals to gamble. There are also casinos in the Philippines, although they are relatively small compared to those contemplated for Macau. There are a number of casino complexes in certain tourist destinations in Cambodia such as
Dailin, Bavet, Poipet, Sihanoukville and Koh Kong. We believe Australia currently offers the closest gaming facilities in Asia comparable to Las Vegas casinos. The major gaming markets in Australia are located in Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast
and Perth.

Singapore recently legalized casino gaming and awarded one casino license to Las Vegas Sands and a second casino license to
Genting International Bhd. in December 2006. In addition, several other Asian countries are considering, or are in the process of legalizing gambling and establishing casino-based entertainment complexes.

Our regional competitors will also include PBLs Crown Casino Melbourne and Burswood Casino in Australia and other casino resorts that Melco and PBL
may develop elsewhere in Asia outside Macau. For example, another joint venture entity of Melco and PBL (in which we do not have any interest) participated in a consortium that recently submitted a bid for one of the two licenses to operate casinos
in Singapore. Although the consortium did not win such bid, Melco and PBL may seek other gaming projects in Asia through joint venture entities (in which we will not have any interest). We could face competition from these other gaming projects,
including competition for management time and resources. Melco and PBL may have different interests and strategies for developments across Asia which conflict with the interests of our business in Macau or otherwise compete with our operations in
Macau for Asian gaming and leisure customers.

Insurance

For the operations of the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams, we intend to obtain the types and amounts of insurance coverage that we consider appropriate for companies in similar businesses. We currently maintain
certain insurance policies, including public liability, property all risks, money in transit and employees compensation, for each of our Mocha Clubs. While we believe that our insurance coverage is consistent with industry and regional practice, if
we were held liable for amounts exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage or for claims outside of the scope of our insurance coverage, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

For the construction of the Crown Macau, Paul Y. Construction, the main contractor for the Crown Macau project, has obtained coverage
under a contractors all risks and third party liability insurance policy with China Insurance (Macau) Company Limited for which we are named as a co-insured. The period of insurance is from November 10, 2004 to July 9, 2007, plus
three months free extension following a twelve months defects liability period. Under this policy, we are insured up to HK$1,448 million (US$186.1 million) for material damage to the contract works and are negotiating an increase in the insurance
amount to approximately HK$2.1 billion (US$269.9 million) to match the increase we negotiated for the total contract price of the Crown Macau construction contract and up to MOP 30 million (US$3.7 million) for third party liability for any one
occurrence with the number of occurrences generally unlimited. The general and special exclusions from the coverage under this insurance policy include our loss, damage or liability directly or indirectly resulting from war, act of terrorism and
total or partial cessation of work. In addition, we are responsible for certain scheduled amounts as our deductible payments if the loss or damage results from or in, among others, fire, water damage to works other than natural disasters, third
party property, underground services or employers property. Our rights and benefits under this insurance policy have been assigned to the lenders of the Crown Macau Project Facility to secure Great Wonders obligations under the Crown
Macau Project Facility. In anticipation of the public opening of the Crown Macau, we are in the process of securing insurance coverage under property all risks, business interruption, public liability, employee's compensation and money transfer
insurance policies with reputable insurance companies.

For the construction of the City of Dreams, we have recently secured a construction
insurance policy and employees compensation insurance policy that is similar, in terms of the types of material damage, third party liability and employee compensation covered, to the policy we have secured for the Crown Macau project. We have
obtained coverage under our construction third party insurance policy with Macau Insurance Company Ltd. with the maximum claim limit of MOP400 million (US$49.9 million) for any one occurrence with the number of occurrences generally unlimited. The
coverage to be maintained will be effected through two levels with the primary policy for a maximum claim limit of MOP50 million (US$6.2 million) and the excess construction third party liability for a maximum claim limit of MOP350 million (US$43.7
million).

##### Table of Contents

We maintain property damage, third party liability and money-in-transit insurance policies with insurance
carriers in respect of the Mocha Clubs. These policies cover accidental destruction or damage to the Mocha Club premises, equipment and cash that is either at the Mocha Club premises or is being transported within Macau (subject to certain specific
exclusions). In 2006, we procured liability insurance for certain officers and employees operating at the Mocha Club premises. We do not have insurance for business interruption in relation to our operations at the Mocha Clubs. We believe that our
insurance coverage is commensurate with the nature of and the risks associated with our operations at the Mocha Clubs.

Properties

Apart from the property sites for the Crown Macau, the City of Dreams and the Macau Peninsula projects, we currently maintain offices in Taipa, Macau,
primarily for use as our recruitment and training center, which has an approximate gross area of 4,459 square meters (48,000 square feet). The 10-year lease we entered into in connection with this property is renewable upon expiration and
contemplates annual increments to the monthly rental during the term of the lease. In addition, we maintain leases or subleases for the properties at which the Mocha Clubs are located, with a total floor area of approximately 36,470 square feet.
Pursuant to a number of leases of terms for at least 30 months each, which are renewable upon our advance notice prior to expiration subject to increments to the monthly rentals, we also maintain project coordination offices in Hong Kong with a
total gross floor area of approximately 17,500 square feet. We have secured tenancies which terms will last until March 2009 for our new principal executive offices starting late April 2007. We also intend to open a sales office at the Macau ferry
terminal on Hong Kong island in preparation of commenceing our operation of the Crown Macau.

Gaming Regulations

The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in Macau are subject to the general laws (e.g., Civil Code, Commercial Code) and to specific
gaming laws, in particular, Law No. 16/2001, and various regulations govern the different aspects of the gaming activity. Macaus gaming operations are subject to the grant of a concession or subconcession by and regulatory control of the
Macau government (Dispatch of the Chief Executive).

The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Macau gaming
authorities are based upon declarations of public policy that are concerned with, among other things:



| |  |  | the prevention of unsavory or unsuitable persons from having a direct or indirect involvement with gaming at any time or in any capacity;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the adequate operation and exploitation of games of fortune and chance;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the fair and honest operation and exploitation of games of fortune and chance free of criminal influence;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the protection of the Macau SAR interest in receiving the taxes resulting from the gaming operation; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the development of the tourism industry, social stability and economic development of the Macau SAR.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we violate the Macau gaming laws, MPBL Gamings subconcession could be limited, conditioned, suspended or revoked, subject to compliance with
certain statutory and regulatory procedures. In addition, we, and the persons involved, could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of Macau gaming laws or of the subconcession contract at the discretion of the Macau
government. Further, if we terminate or suspend the operation of all or a part of the conceded business without permission, which is not caused by force majeure or the occurrence of serious chaos in our overall organization and operation, or in the
event of insufficiency of our facilities and equipment which may affect the normal operation of the conceded business, the Macau government would be entitled to replace MPBL Gaming directly or through a third party during the aforesaid termination
or suspension or subsistence of the aforesaid chaos and insufficiency and to ensure the operation of the conceded business and cause

##### Table of Contents

the adoption of necessary measures to protect the subject matter of the subconcession contract. Under such circumstances,
the expenses required for maintaining the normal operation of the conceded business would be borne by us. Limitation, conditioning or suspension of any gaming registration or license or the appointment of a supervisor could, and revocation of MPBL
Gamings subconcession would, materially adversely affect our gaming operations.

Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a
finding of suitability after being ordered to do so by the Macau government may be found unsuitable. Any stockholder found unsuitable and who holds, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of the shares of a corporation beyond the period of
time prescribed by the Macau government may lose his rights to the shares. We are subject to disciplinary action if, after we receive notice that a person is unsuitable to be a stockholder or to have any other relationship with us, we:



| |  |  | pay that person any dividend or interest upon our shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allow that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through shares held by that person;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pay remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fail to pursue all lawful efforts to require that unsuitable person to relinquish its shares.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, the Macau government, pursuant to its regulatory and supervisory control of suitability, has the authority to reject any person owning or
controlling the stock of any corporation holding a subconcession.

The Macau government also requires prior approval for the creation of a
lien over real property, shares, gaming equipment and utensils of a concession or subconcession holder and restrictions on its stock in connection with any financing. In addition, the creation of a lien over real property, shares, gaming equipment
and utensils of a concession or subconcession holder and restrictions on its shares in respect of any public offering also requires the approval of the Macau government to be effective.

The Macau government must give its prior approval to changes in control through a merger, consolidation, stock or asset acquisition, or any act or
conduct by any person whereby he or she obtains such control. Entities seeking to acquire control of a corporation must satisfy the Macau government concerning a variety of stringent standards prior to assuming control. The Macau government may also
require controlling stockholders, officers, directors and other persons having a material relationship or involvement with the entity proposing to acquire control, to be investigated for suitability as part of the approval process of the
transaction.

The Macau government also has the power to supervise subconcessionaires in order to assure the financial stability and
capacity.

The subconcession premiums and taxes, computed in various ways depending upon the type of gaming or activity involved, are
payable to the Macau government. The method for computing these fees and taxes may be changed from time to time by the Macau government. Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees and taxes are payable either monthly or annually
and are based upon either:



| |  |  | a percentage of the gross revenues received; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the number and type of gaming devices operated.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

In addition to special gaming taxes, we are also required to contribute to the Macau government an amount equivalent to 1.6% of the gross revenue of our gaming business. Such contribution must be delivered to a public
foundation designated by the Macau government whose goal is to promote, develop or study culture, society, economy, education and science and engage in academic and charity activities. Furthermore, we are also obligated to contribute to Macau an
amount equivalent to 2.4% of the gross revenue of the gaming business for urban development, tourism promotion and the social security to Macau. We are required to collect and pay,



47

##### Table of Contents

through withholding, statutory taxes on junket commissions or other remunerations paid to gaming intermediaries. We are
also required to collect and pay employment taxes in connection with our staff through withholding and all payable and non-exemptible taxes, levies, expenses and handling fees provided by the laws and regulations of Macau. Non-compliance with these
obligations could lead to the revocation of MPBL Gamings subconcession and could materially adversely affect our gaming operations.

Anti Money
Laundering Regulations in Macau

In conjunction with current gaming laws and regulations, we will be required to comply with the
newly adopted laws and regulations relating to anti-money laundering activities in Macau. Law 2/2006 of April 3, 2006 which came into effect on April 4, 2006, the Administrative Regulation (AR) 7/2006 of May 15, 2006, which came into
effect on November 12, 2006 and the DICJ Instruction 2/2006 of November 13, 2006 govern our compliance requirements with respect to identifying, reporting and preventing anti-money laundering and terrorism financing crimes at our casinos.

Under these laws and regulations, we are required to:



| |  |  | identify any customer or transaction where there is a sign of money laundering or financing of terrorism or which involves significant sums of money in the context
of the transaction, even if any sign of money laundering is absent;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | refuse to deal with any of our customers who fail to provide any information requested by us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | keep records following the identification of a customer for a period of five years;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | notify the Finance Information Bureau if there is any sign of money laundering or financing of terrorism; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cooperate with the Macau government by providing all required information and documentation requested in relation to anti-money laundering activities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under Article 2 of AR 7/2006 and the DICJ Instruction 2/2006, effective from November 13, 2006, we are required to
track and mandatorily report cash transaction and granting of credit with the minimum amount of MOP 500,000 (US$62,000). Pursuant to the legal requirements above, if the customer provides all required information, and after submitting the reports,
we may continue to deal with those customers that we reported to the DICJ and, in case of suspicious transactions, to the Finance Information Bureau.

We intend to use an integrated IT system to track and automatically generate significant cash transaction reports and, if permitted by the DICJ and the Finance Information Bureau, to submit those reports
electronically. We also intend to train our staff on identifying and following correct procedures for reporting suspicious transactions and to make available for our employees our Guidelines and training modules in our intranet and
on-line sites.

Subconcession Contract

A summary of the key terms of MPBL Gamings subconcession contract follows:

Subconcession Term. The
subconcession contract will expire in June 2022, the current expiration date of Wynn Macaus concession, or, if the Macau government exercises its redemption right, in 2017. Based on information from the Macau government, proposed amendments to
the relevant legislation are being considered. We expect that after such amendments take effect, on the expiration date of MPBL Gamings subconcession, unless the subconcession term is extended, the portion of casino premises within our
developments to be designated with the approval of the Macau government, including all equipment, would automatically revert to the Macau government without compensation to us. The Macau government may exercise its redemption right by providing us
one years prior notice and paying fair compensation or indemnity to us. The amount of such compensation or indemnity will be



48



---

##### Table of Contents

determined based on the amount of gaming revenue generated by the City of Dreams during the tax year prior to the
redemption. It would not reimburse us for any portion of the US$900 million paid to Wynn Macau for the subconcession.

Development of
Gaming Projects/Financial Obligations. The subconcession contract requires us to make a minimum investment in Macau of MOP 4.0 billion (US$499.2 million) by December 2010. We expect to satisfy this requirement through our development of the
Crown Macau and the City of Dreams. However, if we were unable to meet the required deadline for completing this minimum investment due, for example, to delays in construction or inability to finance the completion of the City of Dreams project, we
may lose the right to continue operating our properties developed under the subconcession or suffer the termination of the subconcession by the Macau government.

Payments. In addition to the initial US$900 million that we paid to Wynn Macau when we obtained the subconcession, we are required to make certain payments to the Macau government, including a fixed
annual premium per year of MOP30 million (US$3.7 million) and a variable premium depending on the number and type of gaming tables and gaming machines that we operate. The variable premium will be calculated as follows: (1) MOP 300,000
(US$37,437 per year for each gaming table (subject to a minimum of 100 tables) located in special gaming halls or areas reserved exclusively for certain kind of games or to certain players; (2) MOP 150,000 (US$18,719 per year for each gaming
table (subject to a minimum of 100 tables) not reserved exclusively for certain kind of games or to certain players; and (3) MOP 1,000 (US$125 per year for each electrical or mechanical gaming machine, including slot machines).

Termination Rights. The Macau government has the right, after notifying Wynn Macau, to unilaterally terminate MPBL Gamings
subconcession in the event of non-compliance by us with our basic obligations under the subconcession and applicable Macau laws. The Macau government may be able to unilaterally rescind the subconcession contract upon the following termination
events:



| |  |  | the operation of gaming without permission or operation of business which does not fall within the business scope of the subconcession;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | abandonment of approved business or suspension of operations of our gaming business in Macau without reasonable grounds for more than seven consecutive days or more
than 14 non-consecutive days within one calendar year;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transfer of all or part of MPBL Gamings operation in Macau in violation of the relevant laws and administrative regulations governing the operation of games
of fortune or chance and other casino games in the Macau SAR and without Macau government approval;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to pay taxes, premiums, levies or other amounts payable to the Macau government;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | refusal or failure to resume operations following the temporary assumption of operations by the Macau government;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | repeated opposition to the supervision and inspection by the Macau government and failure to comply with decisions and recommendations of the Macau government,
especially those of the DICJ, applicable to us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to provide or supplement the guarantee deposit or the guarantees specified in the subconcession within the prescribed period;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | bankruptcy or insolvency of MPBL Gaming;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | fraudulent activity harming the public interest;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | serious and repeated violation of the applicable rules for carrying out casino games of chance or games of other forms or damage to the fairness of casino games of
chance or games of other forms;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



49



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | systematic non-compliance with the Macau Gaming Laws basic obligations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the grant to any other person of any managing power over the gaming business of MPBL Gaming or the grant of a subconcession or entering into any agreement to the
same effect; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure by a controlling shareholder in MPBL Gaming to dispose of its interest in MPBL Gaming, within 90 days, following notice from the gaming authorities of
another jurisdiction in which such controlling shareholder is licensed to operate casino games of chance to the effect that such controlling shareholder no longer wishes to own shares in MPBL Gaming.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These events could lead to the termination of MPBL Gamings subconcession without compensation to us regardless of whether any such event occurred
with respect to us or with respect to our subsidiaries which will operate our Macau projects. Based on information from the Macau government, proposed amendments to the legislation are being considered. We expect that after such amendments take
effect, on the expiry or any termination of MPBL Gamings subconcession, unless MPBL Gamings subconcession were extended, the portion of casino premises within our developments to be designated with the approval of the Macau government,
including all gaming equipment, would revert to the Macau government automatically without compensation to us. In many of these instances, the subconcession contract does not provide a specific cure period within which any such events may be cured
and, instead, we would rely on consultations and negotiations with the Macau government to remedy any such violation.

Ownership and
Capitalization. (1) Any person who directly acquires voting rights in MPBL Gaming will be subject to authorization from the Macau government, (2) MPBL Gaming will be required to take the necessary measures to ensure that any person
who directly or indirectly acquires more than 5% of the shares in MPBL Gaming would be subject to authorization from the Macau government, except when such acquisition is wholly made through the shares of public listed companies, (3) any person
who directly or indirectly acquires more than 5% of the shares in MPBL Gaming will be required to report the acquisition to the Macau government (except when such acquisition is wholly made through shares tradable on a stock exchange as a publicly
listed company), (4) the Macau governments prior approval would be required for any recapitalization plan of MPBL Gaming, and (5) the Chief Executive of Macau could require the increase of MPBL Gamings share capital if he
deemed it necessary.

Others. In addition, the subconcession contract contains various general covenants and
obligations and other provisions, with respect to which the determination as to compliance is subjective. For example, compliance with general and special duties of cooperation, special duties of information, and with obligations foreseen for the
execution of our investment plan may be subjective. We cannot assure you that we will perform such covenants in a way that satisfies the requirements of the Macau government and, accordingly, we will be dependent on our continuing communications and
good faith negotiations with the Macau government to ensure that we are performing our obligations under the subconcession in a manner that would satisfy such requirement.

Tax

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands,
we and our current subsidiaries incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Melco PBL Holdings Limited, MPBL International, MPBL Investments and MPBL (Greater China), are not subject to income or capital gains tax. In addition, dividend payments are not
subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.

Mocha and MPBL Peninsula are not subject to tax in the British Virgin Islands, where
they are incorporated, but are subject to a Macau complementary tax rate of 12% on activities conducted in Macau before the transfer of all of the Mocha Clubs assets and business to MPBL Gaming.

Our subsidiaries, MPBL Gaming, Great Wonders and Melco Hotels, are all incorporated in Macau and are subject to a Macau complementary tax of 12% on their
activities conducted in Macau. Having obtained a subconcession, MPBL Gaming intends to apply for, and we expect that it will have the benefit of, a corporate tax holiday on corporate income tax, or complementary tax (but not gaming tax), in Macau
for five years similar to that of other concession and subconcession holders. This would exempt us from paying the Macau complementary tax on income from gaming generated by our development projects and Mocha Clubs, but we will remain subject
to Macau complementary tax on profits from our non-gaming businesses.

Our subsidiary, Melco PBL Services Limited, or MPBL Services, which is incorporated in Hong Kong, is
subject to Hong Kong profits tax on any profits of MPBL Services arising in or derived from Hong Kong. MPBL was set up for the purpose of entering into various administrative contracts, including leases for administrative office space in Hong
Kong.

Dividend Distribution

Restrictions on Distributions.We are a holding company with no material operations of our own. Our assets consist, and will continue to consist, of our shareholdings in our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries current and
future financing facilities will restrict our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends to us and any financings we may enter into will likely restrict our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. For example, our subsidiaries MPBL Gaming and
Melco Hotels will be subject to certain restrictions on paying dividends under the City of Dreams Project Facility. There is a blanket prohibition on paying dividends during the construction phase of the City of Dreams project. Upon completion of
the construction of the City of Dreams, MPBL Gaming and Melco Hotels will only be able to pay dividends if they satisfy certain financial tests and conditions.

Distribution of Profits.All of our subsidiaries incorporated in Macau are required to set aside a minimum ranging from 10% to 25% of the entitys profit after taxation to the legal reserve until
the balance of the legal reserve reaches a level equivalent to 25% to 50% of the entitys share capital in accordance with the provisions of the Macau Commercial Code. The legal reserve sets aside an amount from the statement of operations and
is not available for distribution to the shareholders of the subsidiaries. The appropriation of legal reserve is recorded in the financial statements in the year in which it is approved by the board of directors of the subsidiaries. As of
December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the balance of the reserve amounted to US$2,000 in each of those periods.

C. Organizational Structure

Under the agreement governing their joint venture relationship, Melco and PBL have agreed that their interests throughout their agreed
territory, including in Macau through our company, are held in equal proportions by each of them. Our subsidiary MPBL Gaming, a Macau company, is the holder of a Macau gaming subconcession and is also the direct operator of the Mocha Clubs. Our
other principal operating subsidiaries are (1) Great Wonders, a Macau company, (2) Melco Hotels, a Macau company, and (3) MPBL Peninsula, a British Virgin Islands company, through which we currently hold our Crown Macau project, City
of Dreams project and Macau Peninsula project, respectively. Great Wonders and Melco Hotels are wholly owned by MPBL Gaming (other than nominal shares owned by other group companies as required under Macau law). MPBL Peninsula is our direct
wholly-owned subsidiary.

Through three intervening holding company subsidiaries incorporated in the Cayman Islands and wholly-owned by us,
(1) Melco PBL Holdings Limited, (2) MPBL International and (3) MPBL Investments, we hold Class B shares of MPBL Gaming representing 72% voting control of MPBL Gaming and the rights to virtually all the economic interests in MPBL
Gaming. All of the Class A shares of MPBL Gaming, representing 28% of the outstanding capital stock of MPBL Gaming, are owned by PBL Asia Limited, or PBL Asia, (as to 18%) and, as required by Macau law, the Managing Director of MPBL Gaming (as
to 10%). Mr. Lawrence Ho has been appointed to serve as the Managing Director of MPBL Gaming. The Class A shares are entitled as a class to an aggregate of MOP 1 in dividends and MOP 1 in proceeds of any winding up or liquidation of MPBL
Gaming. MPBL Investments, PBL Asia Limited, the Managing Director and MPBL Gaming have entered into a shareholders agreement under which, among other things, PBL Asia Limited agrees to vote its Class A shares in the same manner as the
Class B shares on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of MPBL Gaming.

We recently incorporated a direct wholly owned
subsidiary in Hong Kong, MPBL Services, for the purpose of entering into various administrative contracts, including leases for administrative office space, in Hong Kong.

financial statements and the related notes included in this annual report on Form 20-F. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk Factors or in other parts of this annual report on Form 20-F.

Our audited historical consolidated financial statements and the audited historical financial statements of Mocha have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

A. Operating Results

Existing Operations

The Mocha Clubs have grown rapidly since the inception of Mocha in March 2003 and MPBL Gaming
currently operates six Mocha Clubs in Macau with an aggregate of approximately 1,000 gaming machines in operation. The Mocha Clubs accounted for approximately 28.2% of the gross gaming machine revenue in Macau for the year ended
December 31, 2006 (including the gaming machines at the Kampek Mocha Club which we closed in September 2006 and relocated in December 2006). In 2005 and 2006, we generated total revenue of US$17.3 million and US$36.1 million, respectively,
substantially all of which was from the Mocha Clubs operations. The Mocha Clubs achieved an average daily net win per gaming machine of HK$1,787 (approximately US$229.1) for 2005 and HK$1,632.0 (approximately US$209.8) for 2006, without taking into
account deductions such as gaming taxes and shares of revenues retained by SJM under Mocha Slots previous services agreements with SJM, pursuant to which until September 20, 2006 Mocha Slot previously received only service fees of 31% of
gaming machine win.

Mocha became our subsidiary in March 2005, when Melco transferred to us its 80% interest in Mocha as part of the
formation of its joint venture with PBL. In connection with forming the joint venture between Melco and PBL in March 2005 and in exchange for its ownership interest in us, Melco contributed to Melco PBL Entertainment (Greater China) Limited, or MPBL
(Greater China) (in which Melco held the remaining 20% interest) an 80% interest in Mocha, which was then the holding company for the Mocha Clubs, a 50.8% interest in the City of Dreams project, and a 70% interest in Great Wonders. The 80% interest
of Mocha was valued at HK$359.7 million (US$46.1 million), based on average market price of Melco shares as of two days before and after the announcement date of acquisition by Melco. In May 2006, we purchased the remaining 20% of Mocha from
Dr. Stanley Ho for HK$250 million (US$32.1 million) and repaid in full a HK$45.7 million (US$5.9 million) shareholder loan from Dr. Stanley Ho. In October 2006, we reorganized our corporate structure after MPBL Gaming obtained the
subconcession, the Macau government approved its transfer to us and the business operations and assets of Mocha were transferred to MPBL Gaming.

Development Projects



| |  |  | The Crown Macau. We began construction of the Crown Macau in December 2004. We recently announced that the Crown Macau is targeted to complete construction
and open on a trial basis on April 28, 2007 and scheduled to formally open to the public on May 9, 2007 and a grand opening event will be held on May 12, 2007. The Crown Macau is being developed to cater primarily to high-end patrons.
We have currently budgeted that the total cost of developing and constructing the Crown Macau to the point of opening will be approximately US$583.6 million, which includes the value of land for the project site contributed to us in kind, land
premium costs and anticipated construction costs, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs, cage cash and initial working capital requirements. We expect that of this amount, approximately HK$1,280 million (US$164.5
million) will be financed by the Great Wonders Project Facility that we have entered into and US$419.1 million by our equity contributions to Great Wonders, including cash and Melcos contribution of its interest in the Crown Macau project upon
our formation in March 2005.

| |  |  | The City of Dreams.We began site preparation of the City of Dreams in the first quarter of 2006 and we currently target to open the initial phase of the
complex in late 2008, with the second phase to follow in the second half of 2009. We are developing the City of Dreams as a must-see integrated casino and entertainment resort primarily for mass market patrons visiting the Cotai Strip.
We currently target the casino to be substantially completed during the initial phase, along with two hotels, and significant portions of the retail area and food and beverage outlets. We currently target to complete the performance hall in the
second half of 2008 and have it ready to host performances in the second half of 2009. We originally contemplated developing two additional hotels to be operated under the Grant Hyatt and Hyatt Regency brands in the second phase with approximately
1,000 rooms and suites. However, subject to further discussion with Hyatt, we are now contemplating developing the two hotels into a twin-tower hotel with no reduction in the number of rooms. The entertainment venues and conference rooms and
ballrooms are targeted to be completed throughout phases one and two. We also plan to develop one block of luxury serviced apartment units, for both long and short-term occupancy, in the second phase of the complex and, depending on the market
conditions, may develop a second block thereafter. These developments of the serviced apartment units may be subject to Macau government approval and approval of our lenders under our debt facilities. The cost of a second block of apartments has not
been included in the current total project development budget for the City of Dreams project.

| |  | The current total project development budget for constructing, developing and opening both phases of the City of Dreams project is approximately US$2.1 billion, inclusive of land,
construction, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs and initial working capital requirements (including cage cash). As the City of Dreams project progresses, we continue to improve and vary its overall scope within the
original timetable to completion, and by reference to the existing total project budget. This is against a background of rising costs of construction, services and materials in Macau. We anticipate an increase in the total project development budget
for the City of Dreams, and we will continue to explore ways to mitigate the effect of anticipated budget increases through various cost saving measures. Of this current project development budget, approximately US$1.6 billion is expected to be
financed by the City of Dreams Project Facility, for which we and certain banks as arrangers have signed a commitment letter (subject to certain conditions), and the balance from equity contributions to Melco Hotels.

| |  |  | Macau Peninsula Site.We have entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a third development site, which is located on the shoreline of
the Macau peninsula near the Macau Ferry Terminal. Our purchase of the Macau Peninsula site remains subject to important conditions, some of which are not in our control, including approval of the Macau government of an extension of the deadline for
completion of development on the site and conditions in the control of other parties. The Macau Peninsula site is approximately 6,480 square meters (approximately 1.6 acres) and the acquisition price is HK$1.5 billion (US$192.8 million), of which we
have paid a deposit of HK$100 million (US$12.9 million). We expect to pay a land premium of approximately HK$150 million (US$19.3 million) to the Macau government for this site. We currently contemplate that we would develop the Macau Peninsula site
into a mixed-use apartment hotel and casino facility targeted primarily at day-trip gaming patrons, and target its opening in the middle of 2009 if we are able to acquire the site. Based on preliminary estimates and conceptual designs, the total
project costs for the Macau Peninsula project is currently budgeted at a range of approximately US$650 million to US$700 million, which includes anticipated land and construction costs, land premium costs, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized
fees and finance costs, cage cash and initial working capital requirements.

Factors Affecting Our Operating Results

Obtaining a gaming subconcession

Prior to September 2006, MPBL Gaming did not hold a concession or
subconcession to operate gaming activities in Macau. Therefore, revenue from the Mocha Club operations predominantly comprised fees for services provided to gaming machine lounges, which represented service fees that were based on a percentage of
the Mocha Clubs gaming machine win. Under the previous services agreements with SJM, Mocha provided all of the gaming machines at the Mocha Clubs and auxiliary services to SJM and received service fees of 31% of gaming machine win before
corporate income tax.

In March 2006, Mocha entered into termination agreements with SJM when PBL entered into its agreement with Wynn
Macau to obtain the subconcession. Pursuant to the termination agreements, Mocha Slots services agreements with SJM were terminated on September 21, 2006, after the subconcession was issued to MPBL Gaming. We now reflect as our revenue
all of the gaming machine win at the Mocha Clubs but are subject to Macau taxes and other government dues on gaming revenue currently totalling 39%. We previously incurred, and will continue to incur, all of the material labor and marketing costs at
the Mocha Clubs and do not expect that obtaining a subconcession will materially affect those costs. We injected all the business assets of Mocha into MPBL Gaming in October 2006. After entering into the termination agreement with SJM in March 2006,
we incurred a one-time impairment loss of US$7.6 million as a result of the termination of the services agreements. As a subconcessionaire, MPBL Gaming is entitled to apply for temporary special exemptions from complementary tax on gaming income
generated by our projects and we intend to file an application for such exemptions.

After we obtained a controlling interest in MPBL
Gaming, the Mocha Club operating assets and business were transferred from Mocha and its subsidiaries to MPBL Gaming to be operated directly by MPBL Gaming as a subconcessionaire. We anticipate that Great Wonders and Melco Hotels will enter into
services or leasing arrangements with MPBL Gaming under which MPBL Gaming will operate the casinos and any other gaming activities at the Crown Macau, City of Dreams and, if built, the Macau Peninsula project under the subconcession.

Starting from the fourth quarter of 2006, we have incurred the following related charges as a result of having obtained the subconcession:



| |  |  | Amortization expense of the subconcession. We are required to amortize the US$900 million paid as consideration for the subconcession on a straight-line
basis over the life of the subconcession contract, which is until June 2022, and will charge the amortization expense to our statements of operations beginning from the date we obtained the subconcession.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interest expense. We have incurred additional interest expense in connection with the US$500 million debt required to fund the payment for the subconcession,
which debt had been fully repaid as of December 31, 2006.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gaming and Leisure Market in Macau

Our business is and will be influenced most significantly by the growth of the gaming and leisure market in Macau. Such growth will be affected by
visitation to Macau and whether Macau develops into a popular international destination for gaming patrons and other customers of leisure and hospitality services, as well as our ability to compete effectively against our existing and future
competitors for market share.

Visitation to Macau

Visitation to Macau between 2001 and 2006 increased at a CAGR of 16.4% to approximately 22.0 million visitors and at a growth rate of 17.6% from 18.7 million visitors for 2005 to 22.0 million 2006
according to the Macau Statistics and

##### Table of Contents

Census Services. We believe that visitation and gaming revenue growth for the Macau market have been, and will continue
to be, driven by a combination of factors, including Macaus proximity to major Asian population centers; liberalization of restrictions on travel to Macau from China and liberalization of currency restrictions to permit Chinese citizens to
take larger sums of foreign currency out of China when they travel; increasing regional wealth, leading to a large and growing middle class in Asia with more disposable income; infrastructure improvements that are expected to facilitate more
convenient travel to and within Macau; and an increasing supply of better quality casino, hotel and entertainment offerings in Macau.

Competition

The Macau gaming market is rapidly evolving and competitive. We expect competition in the market to persist and intensify. At present,
there are a total of six licensed gaming operators, including our subsidiary MPBL Gaming, under concessions and subconcessions in Macau. The existing concessions and subconcessions do not place any limit on the number of gaming facilities that may
be operated under each concession or subconcession. Each of the three concessionnaires, SJM, Galaxy and Wynn Macau, as well as a subconcessionnaire, Venetian Macao, have already commenced operating facilities and have announced expansion plans to
develop additional casinos in Macau. For example, SJM and Galaxy currently operate 18 and five casinos, respectively, throughout Macau. In October 2006, Galaxy opened the Galaxy StarWorld hotel and casino resort on the Macau peninsula next to Wynn
Resorts (Macau). In September 2006, Wynn Macau opened the Wynn Resorts (Macau) hotel casino, a resort complex on the Macau peninsula comprising of hotel, entertainment and gaming facilities. In May 2004, the Venetian Macao opened the Sands Macau on
the Macau peninsula, ushering in a new era of Las Vegas-style casinos in Macau.

Including the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams, most of
the gaming facilities scheduled to open in the next several years will be concentrated in Taipa or the Cotai Strip. In particular, the Cotai Strip is expected to feature a cluster of new casino resorts that are being designed on a larger scale and
in the style of casino resorts located on the Las Vegas Strip. We expect that the new casino and other entertainment offerings will increase visitation to Macau and expand the Macau gaming market to reach an increasing number of mass market and
non-gaming patrons. We will seek to benefit from this increased visitation to Macau generally as visitors to Macau and other gaming locations often visit multiple casino resorts on the same trip, in particular if they are in close proximity to each
other.

Number of gaming machines

Our
results of operations reflect almost exclusively the results of the Mocha Clubs. Our other projects are in early development stages and have yet to generate any revenues. The operating results of the Mocha Club business are affected principally by
the number of gaming machines operated by Mocha and volumes of customer traffic at the Mocha Club locations. Traffic volumes are affected by factors such as the popularity of the Mocha Clubs and pedestrian traffic flows at the Mocha Club locations.
The average number of gaming machines in the Mocha Clubs has increased from an average of 350 in 2004 to an average of 634 in 2005 and an average of 937 in 2006. We currently have approximately 1,000 gaming machines in the Mocha Clubs.

The following table sets forth information on the Mocha Clubs for the twelve months ended and as of December 31, 2006:

|(1) | Average daily net win per machine for any period/year represents the total gaming machine win during such period/year divided by the weighted average number of gaming machines in
service during such period/year. Gaming machine win is the excess of the amount of money deposited by players into the gaming machine over the amount of money paid out of the gaming machine to players. Prior to MPBL Gaming obtaining its
subconcession in September 2006, Mocha Slot provided management services to the Mocha Clubs under service agreements with SJM. Mocha Slot received 31% of gaming machine win as its revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, while SJM retained 31% of
gaming machine win, and Macau taxes and other government dues accounted for the remaining 38%. After the subconcession was granted and these service agreements were terminated with effect from September 21, 2006, we now reflect all the gaming
machine win as our revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, but we are subject to Macau taxes and other government dues currently totaling 39% of gaming machine win.

|(2) | Since MPBL Gaming obtained its subconcession, we are not allowed to operate any Mocha Clubs in buildings in which other concessionaires or subconcessionaires have gaming operations.
This has required relocating the Kampek Mocha Club, which was located in facilities in which SJM conducts gaming operations under its concession, and which we closed on September 21, 2006. The weighted average number of gaming machines used for
the purposes of calculating average daily net win per machine at the Kampek Mocha Club were calculated for the period from January 1, 2006 to September 20, 2006 before its closure. We have moved the former Kampek Mocha Club to Marina
Plaza, where approximately 260 gaming machines are available. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we have incurred approximately HK$8.7 million (US$1.1 million) in provision of services to gaming machine lounges attributable to the relocation
of the facility.

Successful completion and operation of our casino resort projects and Mocha Clubs

The Crown Macau and City of Dreams casino
resort projects have not yet commenced commercial operation and did not generate any revenue in 2005 and 2006. The Crown Macau is targeted to begin revenue-generating operations following completion of this project and formal opening on May 9,
2007. The City of Dreams is targeted to begin revenue-generating operations following completion of the first phase of the project in late 2008. We also have not completed the acquisition of the Macau Peninsula site. However, we anticipate that the
majority of our revenues in the future will be generated from casino and hotel operations at these three sites once they are completed, while we expect revenue from the Mocha Clubs to decrease substantially as a percentage of our overall revenue
thereafter.

We expect our operating revenues from the casino resorts to be affected primarily by the growth of the Macau gaming and
leisure market, the popularity of the casinos, hotels and other entertainment facilities, and the number and net win of the gaming tables and gaming machines. Prior to September 2006, because MPBL Gaming did not have a concession or subconcession to
operate casino gaming and had to rely on service agreements with SJM, our past operating revenues from gaming consisted only of the service fees paid to Mocha Slot representing 31% of gaming machine win generated from the Mocha Clubs. After MPBL
Gaming obtained its subconcession, our revenues reflect all the gaming revenues generated from the Mocha Clubs and other gaming operations but we will be subject to taxes and other government dues on gaming revenue currently totalling 39% of gaming
machine win. We expect expenses from gaming operations to consist mainly of labor, commissions and complimentary allowances paid to high-end patrons and junket operators, property expenses, depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of gaming
subconcession, interest expense, marketing and promotion expenses and costs of operating supplies. In future periods, we expect labor, commissions and complimentary allowances to high-end patrons and junket operators and depreciation of construction
costs, including capitalized fees and finance costs for construction and amortization of gaming subconcession, to be major costs.

We
expect that the hotel operating revenues at our development projects will be affected primarily by the number of rooms to be operated, room rates and occupancy rates, as well as the popularity of our food and beverage outlets at our hotels. We
expect hotel operating expenses to consist mainly of labor, depreciation, marketing and promotion expenses and costs of operating supplies.

Overview of Financial Results

Revenues

Our revenues historically consisted of fees for services provided to gaming machine lounges and food,
beverage and others. Under Mocha Slots previous services agreements with SJM for operation of the Mocha Clubs, Mocha Slot received service fees comprising 31% of gaming machine win. Taxes and other government dues on gaming revenues totaled
38% of gaming machine win, and SJM retained the remaining 31% of gaming machine win. In calculating revenues, we deducted from Mocha Slots 31% share of gaming machine win revenue discounts, costs of points from the Mocha loyalty program and
accruals for anticipated payouts of progressive slot jackpots. After the subconcession was granted and these service agreements with SJM were terminated with effect from September 21, 2006, we now reflect as gaming revenue all the gaming
machine win at the Mocha Clubs, which we record under the item slot lounge gaming revenue, but we are subject to Macau taxes and other government dues currently totaling 39% of gaming machine win.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Our operating
costs and expenses have historically consisted primarily of expenses for provision of services to gaming machine lounges, amortization of land use rights and general and administrative expenses. They also consisted of food, beverage and others,
selling and marketing expenses and pre-opening costs. After MPBL Gaming obtained a subconcession, we now reflect costs and expenses associated with our Mocha Clubs under the line item slot lounge operating expenses, and no longer record those costs
and expenses under the line item provision of services to gaming machine lounges. In addition, we also now record operating costs and expenses in connection with the amortization of the gaming subconcession.

Provision of services to gaming machine lounge / Slot lounge operating expenses. Under Mocha Slots previous services agreements with SJM,
Mocha Slot was responsible for providing all of the gaming machines at the Mocha Clubs and auxiliary services to operate the clubs. This operating cost and expense consists primarily of amortization of intangible assets, salaries and benefits paid
to the Mocha Clubs staff, depreciation, including depreciation of gaming machines and other equipment, security costs, rent for the Mocha Club locations and operating supplies. We recognized an impairment loss of approximately US$1.1 million for
2006 in respect of certain plant and equipment because of the relocation of the Kampek Mocha Club to Marina Plaza. Before MPBL Gaming obtained its subconcession, amortization of intangible assets consisted primarily of the amortization of Mocha
Slots services agreements with SJM for the Mocha Clubs. We previously amortized these services agreements with SJM over their estimated useful terms of 10 years and incurred an amortization expense. After we entered into a termination
agreement in March 2006 to terminate the services agreements subject to obtaining a subconcession, we incurred an impairment loss and amortized the remaining carrying value of the services agreements until the estimated termination date. See
Impairment loss recognized on slot lounges services agreements.

Food, beverage and others. This cost relates
primarily to our purchase of food and beverages that we sell and provide on a complimentary basis at the Mocha Clubs. In September 2006, we closed the Kampek Mocha Club and moved our facility to the new location in Marina Plaza in December 2006. As
a result of the relocation, our food and beverage costs reduced slightly.

Amortization of gaming subconcession. The cost of the
subconcession is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Gaming Subconcession agreement which expires in June 2022. We began to amortize the asset in October 2006 after MPBL Gaming obtained the subconcession. As of December 31,
2006, we are amortizing the total cost of US$14.3 million.

##### Table of Contents

Amortization of land use rights. Expenses for amortization of land use rights are incurred in
connection with the consideration we paid for our interest in Great Wonders in three stages from November 2004 to July 2005 and the consideration payable by us to the Macau government for the lease of land for the Crown
Macau. The expected expiration date of the government lease for the Crown Macau is March 2031, and we are amortizing the total cost of the land use right of US$5.4 million as of December 31, 2006 on a straight-line basis from the
commencement date of the construction of the Crown Macau in December 2004 to March 2031. After commencing site preparation works for the City of Dreams project in April 2006, we began to amortize the consideration payable by us to the Macau
government for the anticipated lease of the City of Dreams site. We are amortizing the total cost of the anticipated land use right of US$7.0 million as of December 31, 2006 on a straight-line basis from the commencement date of construction
until an estimated expiration date of the government lease in March 2032.

Impairment loss recognized on slot lounge services
agreements. Impairment loss recognized on slot lounge services agreements represents a one-time charge that we recognized in 2006. Prior to obtaining the subconcession, we amortized the Mocha Clubs services agreements with SJM over their
estimated useful terms of 10 years. The amortization expense for these intangible assets was included in our operating costs and expenses. In March 2006, Mocha Slot agreed with SJM to terminate the services agreements after obtaining the
subconcession. As a result of the termination of the services agreements, we incurred an impairment loss of US$7.6 million, which was calculated with reference to a valuation performed by an independent third party and the estimated date for
obtaining the subconcession.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries
and benefits paid to our administrative and finance personnel, cleaning and overhead costs, general costs associated with our corporate offices, professional services fees, public relations expenses in relation to our initial public offering and
legal fees incurred for our corporate restructuring. We expect our total general and administrative expenses to increase as we hire additional administrative and finance personnel for our corporate offices and as we incur costs associated with our
operation as a reporting company.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries,
benefits and sales commissions for sales personnel, advertising, promotional and other sales and marketing expenses. We have increased and anticipate that we will continue to increase significantly our sales and marketing expenses as we roll out
additional Mocha Clubs and seek to grow the Mocha brand, as the mass market segment of Macau grows, and as competitors move aggressively into the gaming machine market in Macau. Our total sales and marketing expenses are also expected to increase
significantly as we approach the respective completion dates of the Crown Macau, City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects and promote these new facilities to our target patrons.

Pre-opening costs. Pre-opening costs relate primarily to training costs and other administrative costs in connection with targeted opening of the
Crown Macau on May 9, 2007 and the first phase of the City of Dreams project targeted to open in late 2008 and to a lesser extent, the openings of the new Mocha Clubs. We anticipate that our pre-opening costs will increase as we open new Mocha
Clubs and will increase significantly as we get closer to the opening dates for our development projects.

Share based compensation.
We granted restricted shares to certain personnel in December 2006. The total number of restricted shares that were granted to those persons was approximately 2,540,000 representing approximately US$16.1 million divided by initial public
offering price (as adjusted for the three ordinary shares to one ADS ratio). These restricted shares have a vesting period ranging from six months to five years. We recorded compensation expenses of approximately US$278,000 as general and
administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 with respect to these restricted share grants. All the restricted shares were unvested as of December 31, 2006 and the grant date fair value is determined with reference to the
initial public offering price as adjusted due to the fact that these restricted shares are not entitled to dividends during the vesting period.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest earned on demand deposits and our highly liquid investments
which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Interest Expense

Interest expenses consist of interest expenses with respect to our advances from affiliated person and shareholders and together with interest expenses in connection with the Subconcession Facility before we paid off
the facility with the proceeds of our initial public offering in December 2006.

Income Tax Expense

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we and our current subsidiaries incorporated in the Cayman
Islands, Melco PBL Holdings Limited, MPBL International, MPBL Investments and MPBL (Greater China), are not subject to income or capital gains tax. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.

Mocha and MPBL Peninsula are not subject to tax in the British Virgin Islands, where they are incorporated, but are subject to a Macau complementary
tax rate of 12% on activities conducted in Macau before the transfer of all of the Mocha Clubs assets and business to MPBL Gaming. Our remaining subsidiaries, MPBL Gaming, Great Wonders and Melco Hotels, are all incorporated in Macau and are subject
to a Macau complementary tax of 12% on their activities conducted in Macau. Having obtained a subconcession, MPBL Gaming intends to apply for, and we expect that it will receive, the benefit of a corporate tax holiday on corporate income tax, or
complementary tax (but not gaming tax), in Macau for five years similar to that of other concession and subconcession holders. This would exempt us from paying the Macau complementary tax on income from gaming generated by our development projects
and Mocha Clubs, but we will remain subject to Macau complementary tax on profits from our non-gaming businesses.

Our subsidiary MPBL
Services which is incorporated in Hong Kong, is subject to Hong Kong profits tax on any profits of MPBL Services arising in or derived from Hong Kong. MPBL Services was set up for the purpose of entering into various administrative contracts,
including leases for administrative office space in Hong Kong.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Managements discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial
statements. Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial
estimates. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates those estimates, including those relating to the estimated lives of depreciable assets, asset impairment, allowances for doubtful accounts, accruals for customer loyalty rewards, business
combination and revenue recognition. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an
inherent degree of uncertainty, and therefore actual results could differ from our estimates.

Valuation of long-lived assets, including goodwill and
purchased intangible assets

We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible
assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, other than goodwill and purchased intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives, by first grouping our long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group)
and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life
of the primary asset within the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, we record an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. We
determine fair value through quoted market prices in active markets or, if quoted market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis of discounted cash flows or external appraisals. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow
analyses are based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group, appropriate discount rates and long-term growth rates.

---

##### Table of Contents

To assess potential impairment of goodwill, we perform an assessment of the carrying value of our
reporting units at least on an annual basis or when events and changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds
its fair value, we would perform the second step in our assessment process and record an impairment loss to earnings to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. We estimate the fair value
of our reporting units through internal analysis and external valuations, which utilize income and market valuation approaches through the application of capitalized earnings, discounted cash flow and market comparable methods. These valuation
techniques are based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including the projected future operating results of the reporting unit, appropriate discount rates, long-term growth rates and appropriate market comparables.

Our assessments of impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible assets, and our periodic review of the remaining useful
lives of our long-lived assets are an integral part of our ongoing strategic review of our business and operations. Therefore, future changes in our strategy and other changes in our operations could impact the projected future operating results
that are inherent in our estimates of fair value, resulting in impairments in the future. Additionally, other changes in the estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate and expected long-term growth rate, which drive the valuation
techniques employed to estimate the fair value of long-lived assets and goodwill, could change and, therefore, impact the assessments of asset impairments in the future.

Impairment of long-lived assets (other than goodwill)

We evaluate the recoverability of
long-lived assets with finite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. As of December 31, 2005, based on the results of our assessment, no impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible assets was noted. We recognized an impairment loss
amounting to US$7.6 million on the Mocha Club services agreement for 2006 in connection with the termination agreement that we entered into in March 2006 to terminate the services agreements with SJM upon obtaining the subconcession. In addition, we
recognized an impairment loss of approximately US$1.1 million in connection with the relocation of the Kampek Mocha Club to Marina Plaza in 2006, which is determined as the net book values of the plant and equipment involved.

Business combinations

We have made a number
of acquisitions and may make strategically important acquisitions in the future. When recording an acquisition, we allocate the purchase price of the acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their estimated fair values. We have obtained valuation reports from independent appraisers to assist in determining the fair values of identifiable intangible assets, including acquired gaming machine lounge services agreements and trademarks.
These valuations require us to make significant estimates and assumptions which include future expected cash flows from gaming machine lounges services agreements and trademarks, discount rates, and assumptions regarding the period of time the
acquired gaming machine lounges, services agreements and trademarks will continue. Such assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions
and estimates.

Share-based compensation

Prior to January 2006, we did not issue any share options to our employees, directors and consultants. In November 2006, we adopted the 2006 Share Incentive Plan and granted restricted shares in December 2006. Accordingly we record
share-based compensation based on the SFAS 123(R) grant date fair value requirements.

With respect to the non-vested restricted shares
granted in December 2006, we retained an independent appraiser to produce a valuation report on the fair value of our company. Significant management judgment is involved in determining the underlying

variables. All the restricted shares were unvested as of December 31, 2006 and the grant date fair value is
determined with reference to the initial public offering price as adjusted due to the fact that these restricted shares are not entitled to dividends during the vesting period.

We will estimate the fair value of share options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and a single option award approach. The fair
value would then be amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods. This option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the
options expected life, estimated forfeitures and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Changes in the subjective input assumptions may materially affect the fair value estimate. In managements opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the share options.

Formation

Under the original agreement between Melco and PBL, it was contemplated that our company would be held 50%/50% by Melco and PBL and would act as a holding
company for interests throughout their agreed territory in Asia. MPBL (Greater China), now a dormant company, was to hold and operate our interests in Greater China on the basis that Melcos effective interest would be 60% and PBLs
effective interest would be 40%. For that reason, MPBL (Greater China) is held 80% by us (initially giving Melco and PBL as our indirect 50/50 shareholders, each an indirect 40% interest in MPBL Greater China) and 20% directly by Melco and, until
October 2006, all of the Mocha operations, the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams projects were held through MPBL (Greater China). In March 2005, Mocha became one of our subsidiaries when Melco contributed the 80% interest it then owned in Mocha to
MPBL (Greater China). Dr. Stanley Ho resigned as a director and the chairman of Melco in March 2006, and in May 2006, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in Mocha and repaid in full a shareholders loan from Dr. Ho to Mocha of
HK$45.7 million (US$5.9 million). Under amendments to their relationship in connection with the obtaining of the subconcession, and the transfer of control of MPBL Gaming to us, Melco and PBL have agreed that their interests throughout their agreed
territory, including in Macau through our Company, are held in equal proportions by each of them (i.e. effectively 50%/50% interest), which resulted in the corporate reorganization in October 2006 as described at Item 6. Directors, Senior
Management and EmployeesE. Share OwnershipMelco PBL Joint Venture.

As of December 31, 2004, Melco owned 80% of
Mocha, 50% of Great Wonders and 100% of Melco Hotels. On March 8, 2005, Melco, in exchange for its 50% interest in us, contributed its interest in Mocha, Great Wonders and Melco Hotels to our subsidiary MPBL (Greater China). Concurrently, PBL
contributed US$163 million in cash to MPBL (Greater China) in exchange for its 50% interest in us.

From June 9, 2004 for Mocha,
July 20, 2004 for Melco Hotels and November 9, 2004 for Great Wonders through March 7, 2005, the financial statements reflect the consolidated financial statements of Mocha, Melco Hotels and Great Wonders because they were under
common control for this period. The contributions by Melco of its 80% interest in Mocha, 70% interest in Great Wonders and 50.8% interest in the City of Dreams project to MPBL (Greater China), a company 80% indirectly owned by us and 20% owned by
Melco, and cash contributions by PBL of US$163 million, which were completed on March 8, 2005, were accounted for as the formation of a joint venture for which a carryover basis of accounting has been adopted.

As of December 31, 2005, we held an 80% interest in MPBL (Greater China), which in turn held an 80% interest in Mocha and its subsidiaries and a
100% interest in each of Great Wonders and Melco Hotels (other than nominal shares owned by other group companies as required under Macau law).

The consolidated financial statements of Mocha for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 have been prepared for the purpose of presenting the financial information of Mocha as our predecessor. Mocha is considered to be
our predecessor as we succeeded to substantially all of the business of Mocha and our own operations prior to the succession were insignificant in comparison to the Mocha operations assumed or acquired. As of June 8, 2004, Mocha had two wholly
owned subsidiaries, Mocha Slot Management Limited and Mocha Cafe Limited.

Group restructuring upon acquisition of gaming subconcession

On March 4, 2006, PBL entered into an agreement with Wynn Macau to obtain a gaming subconcession for the operation of casino games of chance and
other casino games in Macau for US$900 million. PBL Asia Investments Limited, which is owned by PBL, formed MPBL Gaming to hold the subconcession. After MPBL Gaming obtained the subconcession and we obtained Macau governmental approval for our
taking control of MPBL Gaming, effective control of MPBL Gaming was transferred to us through a series of steps involving the restructuring of the capital stock and conversion of subordinated debt of MPBL Gaming.

Pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement dated March 5, 2006 and a Supplemental Agreement dated May 26, 2006, entered into between Melco and PBL,
Melco and PBL each agreed to contribute US$160 million for a total of US$320 million to our company to subscribe for all the outstanding Class B shares of MPBL Gaming representing 72% voting control of MPBL Gaming and the rights to virtually all the
profits of MPBL Gaming and virtually all the proceeds of any winding up or liquidation of MPBL Gaming. The existing shares of MPBL Gaming held by PBL Asia Limited were converted into Class A shares representing 18% of the voting power over the
outstanding shares of MPBL Gaming. Class A shares representing 10% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of MPBL Gaming were also issued to the Managing Director of MPBL Gaming, who is a Macau resident as required under Macau law, upon
the subconcession being issued. The Class A shares are entitled to an aggregate of MOP1 in dividends and MOP1 in proceeds of any winding up or liquidation of MPBL Gaming. In addition, PBL agreed to subscribe or cause its subsidiary to subscribe
US$80 million of equity of MPBL Gaming. Together with the proceeds of US$500 million drawn down from the Subconcession Facility, the above subscription funds to MPBL Gamings outstanding capital stock were used to make the required US$900
million payment to Wynn Macau.

Pursuant to the same agreement between Melco and PBL, Melco and PBL also agreed to adjust their existing
ownership interests in our company from 60% held by Melco (40% via its interests in our company and 20% via its interest in MPBL (Greater China)) and 40% held by PBL to be 50% owned each by Melco and PBL. Melco also contributed its 20% interest in
MPBL (Greater China) to our company. In October 2006, the 20% interest in MPBL (Greater China) held by Melco was re-classified as non-voting shares, which we later acquired through our wholly-owned subsidiary MPBL International. We accounted for
this acquisition using the purchase method.

In addition, we acquired all the outstanding Class B shares of MPBL Gaming after the
subconcession was granted to MPBL Gaming and the acquisition was approved by the Macau government. We accounted for this acquisition at the fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed including the subconcession, loan drawn
down from the Subconcession Facility, working capital loans due to PBL and Melco (subsequently converted into equity), cash and cash equivalents and other net liabilities. The estimated fair value of the subconcession was derived from the purchase
consideration paid by MPBL Gaming to obtain the subconcession.

Recent changes in accounting standards

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109, or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, or SFAS
109. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides accounting guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1,
2007. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact of FIN 48 on our results of operations and financial condition.

In September
2006 the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurement. SFAS 157 addresses standardizing the measurement of fair value for companies who are required to use a fair value measure of recognition
for recognition or disclosure purposes. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

##### Table of Contents

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.108, Considering the Effects of
Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be
considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. In the SAB 108, the SEC Staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in
quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth a summary, for the periods indicated, of our consolidated results of operations. We currently rely solely on the operations
of the Mocha Clubs for our operating cash flow. Our Crown Macau, City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects have not commenced operations and do not generate any revenue. Our historical results presented below are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for any future period.

##### Table of Contents

|(2) | Average daily net win per machine for any period/year represents the total gaming machine win during such period/year divided by the weighted average number of gaming machines in
service during such period/year. Gaming machine win is the excess of the amount of money deposited by players into the gaming machine over the amount of money paid out of the gaming machine to players. Prior to MPBL Gaming obtaining its
subconcession in September 2006, Mocha Slot provided management services to the Mocha Clubs under service agreements with SJM. Mocha Slot received 31% of gaming machine win as its revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, while SJM retained 31% of
gaming machine win, and Macau taxes and other government dues accounted for the remaining 38%. After the subconcession was granted and these service agreements were terminated with effect from September 21, 2006, we now reflect all the gaming
machine win as our revenue from gaming at the Mocha Clubs, but we are subject to Macau taxes and other government dues currently totaling 39% of gaming machine win.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

The following items had the most significant impact on our operations for 2006 as compared against 2005:



| |  |  | The weighted average number of machines in operation was 634 and 937 during 2005 and 2006, respectively, and we had 5 and 6 Mocha Clubs at the end of 2005 and 2006,
respectively.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Average daily net win per machine was US$229.1 and US$209.8 during 2005 and 2006, respectively.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The increase in the number of machines and lounges resulted in an increase in our revenues and costs and expenses.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In 2006, we amortized land use rights in connection with both the Crown Macau and City of Dreams sites, whereas in 2005, we only amortized land use rights in
connection with the Crown Macau site.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We incurred a one-time impairment loss of US$7.6 million 2006 in connection with the termination agreement that we entered into in March 2006 to terminate the
services agreements with SJM upon the obtaining of the subconcession.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We incurred an impairment loss of US$1.1 million on certain plant and equipment in connection with the relocation of our Kampek Mocha Club to Marina Plaza in 2006.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There was a substantial increase in general and administrative expenses attributable to the establishment of our corporate administration offices and professional
service fees in connection with our group restructuring during the year and initial public offering in December 2006.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We incurred interest expenses and financing costs in connection with the US$500 million Subconcession Facility prior to its full repayment with the proceeds from
our initial public offering.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | MPBL Gamings obtaining the subconcession and the subsequent transfer of MPBL Gaming to us will entail a significant impact on our revenue recognition, income
tax payable and amortization expenses attributable to the subconcession going forward.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We incurred pre-opening, selling and marketing expenses associated with the development of the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams projects.

Revenues

Our
revenue increased by 108.3% from US$17.3 million in 2005 to US$36.1 million in 2006 due partly to obtaining the subconcession, which resulted in a change in reporting of Mocha Clubs revenues from a service fee basis prior to the subconcession to a
gross gaming revenue basis during September 2006. The increase was also due to the opening of the new Mocha Clubs in November 2005 and January 2006 and the increase in the weighted average number of gaming machines at the Mocha Clubs from an average
of 634 for 2005 to 937 for 2006. The increase was offset in part by a decrease in the average daily net win per machine from HK$1,787 (US$229.1) for 2005 to HK$1,632.0 (US$209.8) for 2006. We believe the decrease was primarily attributable to:
(1) a ramp-up period for the two Mocha Clubs, which we added in November 2005 and January 2006, during which time the number of customers

visiting these facilities was relatively low; (2) a reduction in the number of customers visiting the Kampek Mocha
Club, which was the largest Mocha Club, as we were in the process of relocating this facility (as required upon our obtaining the subconcession) and began to reduce advertising promotions for this facility; and (3) an increase in market competition
as a result of the openings of a number of new casinos, including Wynn Macau and Galaxy StarWorld. Our average daily net win per machine was HK$1,931 (US$248.2) in the fourth quarter of 2006 and HK$1,646 (US$211.6) in December 2006.

Operating costs and expenses

Our total
operating costs and expenses increased by 345.4% from US$21.1 million in 2005 to US$93.8 million in 2006, primarily due to the one-time impairment loss of US$7.6 million that we incurred in connection with the termination of the services agreements
with SJM, a US$8.8 million increase in amortization of land use rights, an amortization of US$14.3 million in connection with the subconcession, a US$10.9 million increase in pre-opening costs relating to the Crown Macau and City of Dreams projects,
an impairment loss of approximately US$1.1 million on certain plant and equipment in connection with the relocation of the Kampek Mocha Club to Marina Plaza for 2006, which is determined based on the net book value of the plant and equipment
involved and the opening of additional Mocha Clubs.

Provision of services to gaming machine lounges/slot lounge operating expenses.
Our expenses attributable to provision of services to gaming machine lounges increased by 44.7% from US$11.3 million in 2005 to US$16.3 million in 2006, primarily due to the opening of additional Mocha Clubs and an increase in labor costs in
connection with new gaming machines. The increase was also due to a lesser extent to an increase of depreciation of the gaming machines, of which there were a larger number due to new roll-outs, and costs in connection with the maintenance and
replacement of older gaming machines. In addition, having obtained a subconcession in September 2006, we now generate direct revenues and direct operating costs in connection with the Mocha Clubs operations which we record as slot lounge operating
expenses. We recorded slot lounge operating expenses of US$11.8 million in 2006, of which US$7.5 million was incurred for Macau taxes and other government dues totalling 39% of our gaming revenue from Mocha Clubs.

Food, beverage and others. Our food, beverage and other expenses decreased by 11.1% from US$596,000 in 2005 to US$530,000 in 2006, primarily due
to the closure of the Mocha Club at Kampek in September 2006.

Amortization of gaming subconcession. Amortization of gaming
suboncession for the year was US$14.3 million in 2006. We began to amortize the subconcession in October 2006.

Amortization of land use
rights. Amortization of land use rights expenses increased by 249.6% from US$3.5 million in 2005 to US$12.4 million in 2006. In 2006, we amortized land use rights in connection with both the Crown Macau and City of Dreams sites, whereas in 2005,
we only amortized land use rights in connection with the Crown Macau site.

Impairment loss recognized on slot lounge services
agreements.We recognized a one-time impairment loss of US$7.6 million in 2006. See Overview of Financial ResultsImpairment loss recognized on slot lounge services agreements.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 254.3% from US$4.4 million in 2005 to US$15.6 million in 2006,
primarily due to the incurrence of expenses to establish our corporate administrative offices and an increase in salaries and benefits for our general and administrative personnel as we hired additional personnel in connection with our development
projects, and an increase in professional services fees and public relations expenses in connection with our initial public offering in December 2006.

Selling and marketing. Our selling and marketing expenses increased significantly from US$534,000 in 2005 to US$3.5 million in 2006, primarily due to an increase in marketing and promotion expenses that we
incurred for promoting the Mocha Clubs and in connection with promoting the Crown Macau in anticipation of its opening.

Pre-opening costs. Our pre-opening costs increased significantly from US$730,000 in 2005 to
US$11.7 million in 2006, due to principally pre-opening costs, such as personnel training costs, equipment costs and other administrative costs, in connection with the development of the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams.

Non-operating income (expenses)

Non-operating
income (expenses) consist of interest income and expenses, foreign exchange gain and loss as well as other non-operating income. Our interest income decreased significantly from US$2.5 million in 2005 to US$816,000 in 2006, primarily due to the
significant decrease in cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet as our cash used in operating activities increased significantly to pay for construction and other costs in connection with our development projects. In addition, interest
expenses increased significantly from US$2.0 in 2005 to US$11.2 million in 2006. The increase in interest expenses was primarily attributable to interest expenses incurred for the US$500 million Subconcession Facility drawn prior to its full
repayment with the proceeds from our initial public offering. We had written off deferred financing cost of US$12.7 million primarily in relation to the repayment of US$500 million under the Subconcession Facility as of December 31, 2006. We
had a US$570,000 foreign exchange loss in 2005 primarily resulting from foreign exchange transaction losses on H.K. dollar payables, compared to a US$55,000 foreign exchange gain in 2006. Our other non-operating income increased from US$146,000 in
2005 to US$285,000 in 2006.

Income tax (expense) credit

We had an income tax credit of US$91,000 in 2005, compared to an income tax credit of US$1.9 million in 2006 due to a greater deferred tax credit that we benefited from in 2006.

Minority interest

Our share of loss by
minority shareholders was US$308,000 in 2005, compared to a share of loss by minority shareholders of US$5.0 million in 2006, comprising Melcos share of our income and loss through the 20% interest in MPBL (Greater China) that it held apart
from us until October 2006.

Net income (loss)

As a result primarily of the foregoing, we had a net loss of US$3.3 million and US$73.5 million in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to The Period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (Predecessor Period) And The Period From June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 (Successor Period)

Because we acquired Mocha during 2004, the year is broken into an approximately five month predecessor period and an approximately seven month successor
period in 2004. As a result, our 2005 results are not directly comparable to 2004. Apart from the difference in the length of the periods, the following items had the most significant impact on our operations.

| |  |  | Amortization of intangible assets was recognized during the 2004 successor period and 2005 as a result of the acquisition of Mocha, principally relating to
Mochas services agreements with SJM. This resulted in additional charges of US$600,000 and US$1.0 million which are included in cost of provision of services to gaming machine lounges.

| |  |  | General and administrative expenses during the successor period in 2004 also included a compensation charge of US$1.4 million related to the acquisition of
shareholder loans of US$5.8 million which was advanced by Better Joy Overseas Ltd., or Better Joy, to Mocha through issuance of a convertible note. The compensation charge was recognised based on the difference between the fair value of the
convertible note and the shareholder loan acquired.

Revenues

Our revenue was US$1.9 million for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$6.1 million for the period from June 9, 2004 to
December 31, 2004, compared to US$17.3 million in 2005 as a result of increases in revenues from both fees for services provided to gaming machine lounges and food, beverage and others. The increase was due primarily to the opening of two new
Mocha Clubs in 2005 and increasing the number of gaming machines at the Mocha Clubs from an average of 125 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and 513 for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004,
compared to an average of 634 in 2005. The average daily net win per machine was US$284.5 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$171.5 for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, compared to
US$229.1 in 2005, primarily as a result of higher utilization. With increased customer traffic at the Mocha Clubs, revenue from food, beverages and others increased similarly.

Operating costs and expenses

Our total operating costs and expenses were US$1.3 million for
the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$7.0 million for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, compared to US$21.1 million in 2005, primarily as a result of the increases in expenses incurred as a
result of the opening of additional Mocha Clubs and the amortization of land use rights for the Crown Macau site.

Provision of services
to gaming machine lounges. Our expenses attributable to provision of services to gaming machine lounges were US$864,000 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$4.3 million for the period from June 9, 2004 to
December 31, 2004, compared to US$11.3 million in 2005, primarily as a result of the opening of additional Mocha Clubs and an increase in gaming machines and the associated labor costs in connection therewith. The increase was also due to a
lesser extent to an increase of depreciation of the gaming machines, of which there were a larger number due to new roll-outs, and costs in connection with the maintenance and replacement of older gaming machines.

Food, beverage and others. Our food, beverage and others expenses were US$48,000 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and
US$250,000 for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, compared to US$596,000 in 2005, primarily as a result of the additional expenses in providing food and beverage services to the customers at new Mocha Clubs launched in
2005.

Amortization of land use rights. Amortization of land use rights expenses were nil for the period from January 1, 2004
to June 8, 2004 and US$130,000 for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, compared to US$3.5 million in 2005. We amortized land use rights in connection with the land for the Crown Macau project, which we obtained in
December 2004. The amortization of land use rights was for a full year in 2005.

General and administrative. Our general and
administrative expenses were US$197,000 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$2.0 million for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, compared to US$4.4 million in 2005, primarily as a result of an
increase in maintenance costs for the Mocha Clubs because of the addition of new locations, an increase in salary expense from the addition of personnel for our general and administrative function as we expanded our business and an increase in
professional services fees.

Selling and marketing. Our selling and marketing expenses were US$81,000 for the period from
January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$166,000 for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, compared to US$534,000 in 2005, primarily due to an increase in marketing and promotion expenses that we incurred in 2005 to
grow the Mocha brand and to promote the new and existing Mocha Clubs.

Pre-opening costs

Our pre-opening costs were US$96,000 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$199,000 for the period from June 9, 2004 to
December 31, 2004, compared to US$730,000 in 2005, primarily as a result of pre-opening expenses, such as ground breaking ceremonies, and advertising and marketing, incurred in connection with the development of the Crown Macau and City of
Dreams. We did not incur any pre-opening expenses in connection with those projects in 2004 and pre-opening expenses incurred in connection with Mocha remained relatively stable from 2004 to 2005.

Non-operating income (expenses)

Non-operating
income (expenses) consist of interest income and expenses and net foreign exchange gain and loss as well as other non-operating income. We did not receive any interest income nor incur any interest expense for the period from January 1, 2004 to
June 8, 2004 and for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004. However, we received interest income of US$2.5 million in 2005, which was offset by the US$2.0 million interest expense we incurred. We also had a US$570,000 net
foreign exchange loss in 2005 primarily as result of foreign exchange transaction losses on H.K. dollar payables. We incurred such losses due to differences in the H.K. dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the date such payables were recorded and the
date we exchanged U.S. dollars into H.K. dollars to pay such payables.

Income tax (expense) credit

Our income is subject to a Macau complementary tax at 12%. We had income tax expense of US$26,000 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8,
2004 and US$37,000 for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, as compared to a US$91,000 tax credit that we received in 2005, due to a greater deferred tax credit that we benefited from in 2005.

Minority interest

Our minority interests were
nil for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 and US$91,000 for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, compared to US$308,000 in 2005, primarily as a result of the increase in overall operating loss
attributable to minority shareholders.

Net income (loss)

As a result primarily of the foregoing, we had a net income of US$494,000 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004, a net loss of US$1.0 million for the period from June 9, 2004 to
December 31, 2004 and a net loss of US$3.3 million in 2005, respectively.

Operating activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was US$4.3 million in 2005, compared to the US$20.2 million net cash used in operating activities in 2006, primarily due to a significant increase in general and
administrative costs, slot lounge operating expenses, and pre-opening costs. Our net cash provided by operating activities totaled US$4.3 million in 2005, compared to US$2.2 million in the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, and
US$557,000 in the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004. The primary reason for the increase was the greater revenue generated from additional Mocha Clubs and gaming machines. For the period January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004,
we had an average of 125 gaming machines. For the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the average number of gaming machines increased to 513, 634 and 937, respectively.

Delays or cost overruns in the completion of any of our casino resort projects would adversely affect our ability to generate operating revenue at the
times and in the amounts we anticipate, increase our financing and other costs for the project and increase the depreciation and amortization charges we incur due to increased construction costs and capitalized fees and finance costs. See Item
3. Key InformationD. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Early Stage of DevelopmentWe may require more debt or equity financing, which could require us to incur substantial additional indebtedness or sell additional ADSs or equity
securities. Our ability to obtain additional financing may be limited, which could delay or prevent the opening of one or more of our projects.

Investing activities

Crown Macau. We have currently budgeted that the total cost of developing and
constructing the Crown Macau to the point of opening will be approximately US$583.6 million, which includes the value of land for the project site contributed to us in kind, land premium costs and construction costs, FF&E, pre-opening expenses,
capitalized fees and finance costs and initial working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2006, we had spent approximately US$275.0 million of the budgeted project costs, primarily for design and construction fees to Paul Y. Construction
and for land premium, including costs attributable to the value of the land for the site that was contributed to us. Construction projects like ours commonly involve significantly larger expenditures at the later stages of construction.
Accordingly, we expect that our cash requirements for construction and other costs, will increase significantly as we approach completion of our Crown Macau project and other projects. We anticipate funding the remaining budgeted costs of
construction and development from a combination of borrowings under the Great Wonders Project Facility described below and part of the net proceeds from the initial public offering of our ADSs. See Financing Activities.

We expect the funds provided from the Great Wonders Project Facility and from the offering of our ADSs to be sufficient to finance the remaining costs
of construction and development of Crown Macau. If we incur significant cost overruns at the Crown Macau project, we may need to arrange for additional financing to pay for these costs. Our ability to incur additional debt will be limited under the
Great Wonders Project Facility and the anticipated City of Dreams Project Facility as well as the terms of MPBL Gamings subconcession. As a result, we may not be able to incur additional debt to complete development of the Crown Macau without
the consent of the lenders under the facility agreements or of the Macau government.

City of Dreams. The current total project development budget for constructing, developing and
opening both phases of the City of Dreams project is approximately US$2.1 billion, inclusive of land, construction, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs and initial working capital requirements (including cage cash). As
the City of Dreams project progresses, we continue to improve and vary its overall scope within the original timetable to completion, and by reference to the existing total project budget. This is against a background of rising costs of
construction, services and materials in Macau. We anticipate an increase in the total project development budget for the City of Dreams, and we will continue to explore ways to mitigate the effect of anticipated budget increases through various cost
saving measures. As of December 31, 2006, we had spent approximately US$193.0 million of the current total project development budget, primarily for the land costs and land premium, construction costs and design and consultation fees. We plan
to fund the remaining budgeted costs of construction and development from a combination of the following sources:



| |  |  | borrowings from the US$1.6 billion City of Dreams Project Facility, for which we have signed a commitment letter (subject to certain conditions) with certain banks
as arrangers; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | part of the net proceeds from the initial public offering of our ADSs.

See Financing Activities.

Macau Peninsula Site. We are in the process of acquiring the Macau Peninsula site, which is an approximately 6,480 square meter (1.6 acres) site on the shoreline of the Macau peninsula near the Macau Ferry Terminal. The acquisition
price is HK$1.5 billion (US$192.8 million), of which we have paid a deposit of HK$100 million (US$12.9 million). We expect to pay a land premium of HK$150 million (US$19.3 million) to the Macau government. Our purchase of the Macau Peninsula site
remains subject to important conditions which may not be met and some of which are in the control of third parties unrelated to us, including, among other conditions, governmental approvals such as an extension by the Macau government of the
deadline for completion of development on the site. We are considering our development plans for the Macau Peninsula site and currently contemplate that we would develop it into a mixed-use apartment hotel and casino facility targeted primarily at
day-trip gaming patrons. Based on preliminary estimates and conceptual designs, the total project costs for the Macau Peninsula project is currently budgeted at a range of approximately US$650 million to US$700 million, which includes anticipated
land and construction costs, land premium costs, FF&E, pre-opening expenses, capitalized fees and finance costs, cage cash and initial working capital requirements.

Macau Gaming Subconcession. In September 2006, MPBL Gaming obtained a gaming subconcession from the Macau government under the concession granted to Wynn Macau. PBL signed an agreement with Wynn Macau under
which US$900 million was payable to Wynn Macau upon the issuance by the Macau government of the subconcession to MPBL Gaming. Of this amount, US$100 million was initially placed on deposit with a third party escrow agent. Upon the successful
granting of the subconcession to MPBL Gaming, MPBL Gaming released the US$100 million deposit and remitted the remaining payment to Wynn Macau. The US$500 million loan incurred by MPBL Gaming under the Subconcession Facility became part of our
consolidated indebtedness when control of MPBL Gaming was transferred to us in October 2006. We repaid the entire US$500 million drawn under the Subconcession Facility and any fees and interest incurred in connection with this facility with the net
proceeds of the initial public offering of our ADSs. See Financing Activities.

Mocha Clubs. We intend to expand
the Mocha Clubs business by adding new Mocha Club locations and additional gaming machines to our existing locations during the next several years. Funding of this expansion is expected to be provided by operating cash flow to the extent available.

Financing Activities

Proceeds from Our Initial Public Offering.Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to US$623.1 million in 2006, primarily due to the proceeds from our initial public offering, which amounted to US$1.07 billion after
underwriting discounts and commissions, with US$500 million of the US$1.07 billion immediately used for the repayment of the Subconcession Facility. Proceeds from the additional ADSs sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters
over-allotment option in January 2007, which amounted to US$160.6 million after underwriting discounts and commissions, are not accounted for in our net cash provided by financing activities in 2006.

Shareholder Loans and Contributions. As of December 31, 2006, Melco and PBL had made equity contributions to us and our subsidiaries totaling
approximately US$919.4 million in cash and non-cash, including funding indirectly provided to MPBL Gaming

##### Table of Contents

to provide US$400 million of the US$900 million paid to Wynn Macau upon the granting of the subconcession. Melco and PBL
have also made contributions in the form of shareholder loans. As of December 31, 2006, we have approximately US$212.5 million of outstanding shareholder loans from Melco and PBL, of which amount, US$115.6 million was converted to fixed term
loan at the interest rate of 3-month HIBOR per annum repayable in 18 months since November 15, 2006. As of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, we had fully repaid the non-interest bearing portions of the amounts due to shareholders of
approximately US$96.9 million.

No fees or proceeds will be payable to PBL and Melco in return for their contributions to us or our
subsidiaries and their future economic interest in us is solely based on their share ownership in forming our company.

Great Wonders
Project Facility.On February 13, 2006, our subsidiary, Great Wonders, entered into a two-tranche HK$1,280 million (US$164.5 million) term loan facility with lenders led by Bank of China Limited, Macau Branch, and Banco Nacional
Ultramarino, S.A. to finance the construction of the Crown Macau. Our subsidiary MPBL (Greater China) currently guarantees all the obligations of Great Wonders arising under the Great Wonders Project Facility, and such guarantee will be replaced by
our guarantee. As of December 31, 2006, we had not drawn down on the Great Wonders Project Facility.

The maturity date of the loans
under this facility is February 13, 2013 and the applicable interest rate on the loans is the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, or HIBOR, plus 2.2% per annum. As of December 31, 2006, no loans had been drawn and the full commitment amount
is available for use by Great Wonders until the earlier of February 13, 2008 and the date falling three months after the issuance of the occupation permit of the Crown Macau by the Macau government. See Item 5. Operating and Financial
Review and ProspectsB. Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancing ActivitiesDescription of Our IndebtednessGreat Wonders Project Facility.

Subconcession Facility and City of Dreams Project Facility.On September 4, 2006, MPBL Gaming entered into the US$500 million Subconcession Facility with lenders led by Australia and New Zealand Banking
Group Limited, Banc of America Securities Asia Limited, Barclays Capital and Deutsche Bank AG, Hong Kong Branch, to pay a portion of the purchase price due to Wynn Macau upon the Macau governments approval of the issuance of a gaming
subconcession to MPBL Gaming. MPBL Gaming along with Melco and PBL, has also entered a commitment letter (subject to certain conditions and finalization of certain material terms) with those same lenders as arrangers for the US$1.6 billion City of
Dreams Project Facility to finance the development costs of the City of Dreams project and, if not already refinanced by the time of the first drawing under the City of Dreams Project Facility, to refinance any amounts still outstanding under the
Subconcession Facility. The Subconcession Facility was drawn and used to pay US$500 million of the US$900 million due to Wynn Macau in September 2006 upon the issuance of the subconcession to MPBL Gaming. The US$500 million indebtedness from the
Subconcession Facility became part of our consolidated debt upon the transfer of control of MPBL Gaming to us in October 2006 and has been repaid from part of the net proceeds of our initial public offering in December 2006. See Item 5.
Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsB. Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancing ActivitiesDescription of Our Indebtedness Subconcession Facility and City of Dreams Project Facility.

Macau Peninsula Site. We are negotiating with prospective lenders to arrange financing for the acquisition and development of the Macau Peninsula
site.

We may obtain financing in the form of, among other things, equity or debt, including additional bank loans or high yield, mezzanine
or other debt, or rely on our operating cash flow to fund the development of our projects.

Great Wonders Project Facility

On February 13, 2006, our subsidiary, Great Wonders, entered into a term loan facility agreement, the Great Wonders Project Facility, which is a
two-tranche HK$1,280 million (US$164.5 million) term loan facility with certain lenders to finance the construction of the Crown Macau. Our subsidiary MPBL (Greater China), currently guarantees all payment obligations of Great Wonders arising
under the Great Wonders Project Facility. It is expected that this guarantee will be replaced by a guarantee to be given by us.

The
maturity date of the loans under this facility is February 13, 2013 and the applicable interest rate on the loans is HIBOR plus 2.2% per annum. As of December 31, 2006, no loans had been drawn and the full commitment amount is
available for use by Great Wonders until the earlier of February 13, 2008 and the date falling three months after the issuance of the occupation permit of the Crown Macau by the Macau government.

Under the terms of the facility agreement, Great Wonders:

| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is responsible for the payment of cost overruns incurred for the construction of the Crown Macau and cannot make any further drawdown of loans if cost overruns

other than the lenders of the Great Wonders Project Facility;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | except in limited circumstances, must make mandatory prepayments from the net cash proceeds of all loans to Great Wonders from other lenders, any equity issuance,
any asset sale, any liquidated damages received under any construction contract, the lease agreement, the hotel management agreement or the land concession agreement for the Crown Macau and any proceeds from the insurance policy issued for the Crown
Macau project; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | undertakes to comply with the affirmative, negative and information covenants in the credit facility, including, without limitation, compliance with the financial
covenants after the date falling 12 months from the completion date of the Crown Macau project and not incur other indebtedness or permit other liens on its assets.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great Wonders will draw on the Great Wonders Project Facility from time to time when there are certain construction milestones and projects for which we
need to make payments. Drawdowns will be subject to certain conditions, including providing a certificate of the quantity surveyor certifying the amount paid or payable for the construction cost and confirming that the proposed drawdown is in line
with the construction progress and schedule stated in the construction contract and Great Wonders affirmation that there are no cost overruns exceeding HK$50 million.

The loans are secured by liens on all present and future assets of Great Wonders. The security package consists of amongst others, a mortgage on the site
and the building and fixtures, a power of attorney, a payment guarantee by MPBL (Greater China),

Subconcession Facility

On September 4, 2006, MPBL Gaming entered into a US$500 million term loan facility with certain lenders to pay the remaining purchase price due to Wynn Macau upon the Macau governments approval of the
issuance of a gaming subconcession to MPBL Gaming. MPBL Gaming, along with Melco and PBL, has also entered into a commitment letter with those same banks as arrangers for a US$1.6 billion secured credit facility to refinance the Subconcession
Facility and finance the development costs of the City of Dreams project.

The US$500 million Subconcession Facility was drawn and used to
pay part of the US$900 million due to Wynn Macau in September 2006 upon the issuance of the subconcession to MPBL Gaming. The US$500 million indebtedness from the Subconcession Facility became part of our consolidated debt upon the transfer of
control of MPBL Gaming to us in October 2006 and had been fully repaid with the proceeds of our initial public offering in December 2006.

City of
Dreams Project Facility

As set forth in the commitment letter ANZ Investment Bank, Banc of America Securities Asia Limited,
Barclays Capital and Deutsche Bank have agreed to act as coordinating lead arrangers in arranging and financing the US$1.6 billion City of Dreams Project Facility for MPBL Gaming and Melco Hotels. The granting of the City of Dreams Project Facility
is subject to conditions set forth in the commitment letter and the finalization of the negotiation of certain material terms. Such conditions include: (1) completion of definitive loan agreements, intercreditor agreement, guarantee, security
and associated legal documents for the facilities; (2) the receipt of due diligence reports from various independent consultants, (3) obtaining required government and other approvals for entering into the City of Dreams Project Facility;
and (4) receipt of credit ratings in respect of MPBL Gaming and its subsidiaries. The coordinating lead arrangers must use their reasonable efforts to complete the syndication and until such time MPBL Gaming and its subsidiaries are bound by
specified clear market provisions. The arranging and underwriting commitment will terminate if facility documents are not executed by June 30, 2007 (unless otherwise extended by agreement among all the partiers thereto).

Under the term sheet set forth in the commitment letter, the City of Dreams Project Facility will consist of:



| |  |  | a US$500 million term loan facility, which will be available to repay in full the existing Subconcession Facility; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a non-gaming facility and general project facility in an aggregate amount of not less than US$1.1 billion.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The non-gaming facility will be used to finance the construction of the non-gaming portions of the City of Dreams such as the hotels, the retail and food
and beverage outlets and the leisure and entertainment facilities. The general project facility will be used to finance the construction of the City of Dreams, including, if necessary, the non-gaming portions and other pre-opening costs in relation
to the City of Dreams. If the outstanding amount of the Subconcession Facility is less than US$500 million upon utilisation of the non-gaming facility and general project facility, the remaining amount of the non-gaming facility and general project
facility shall be increased by the shortfall.

Drawdown

The final maturity date of the subconcession facility, non-gaming facility and general project facility is generally 84 months after the date we execute the definitive City of Dreams Project Facility documents.
However, if the initial utilisation under the non-gaming facility and general project facility is not made, the final maturity date will be 60 months from September 4, 2006, the date of the agreement relating to the Subconcession Facility .

The non-gaming facility and general project facility portions are, subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent and on not less than
five business days written notice to the intercreditor agent, available for drawdown in minimum amounts of US$5 million (or

##### Table of Contents

HK$ equivalent) from the date of the City of Dreams Project Facility to the earlier of: (1) 90 days after the
construction completion date for stage one of the project, which includes at least two of the hotels, all of the gaming area and at least 50% of the retail and food and beverage space; and (2) a yet to be agreed long stop date. If, at the end
of this availability period, the remainder of the City of Dreams project has not been completed, then, to the extent that it is required to fund the remainder of the project (and is certified by a technical adviser), the balance of the City of
Dreams Facility may be drawn and, pending application, deposited in a separate interest bearing account secured in favor of the lenders. Proceeds of the drawings will be available for disbursement from the account upon satisfaction of conditions
precedent and the relevant notice requirements.

Except for the first utilization of the City of Dreams Facility, which, if the
Subconcession Facility is still outstanding, must be to refinance amounts drawn under the Subconcession Facility, all drawings under the City of Dreams Facility will be paid into a disbursement account that will be subject to security. Conditions
precedent to the first drawdown of the City of Dreams Facility other than that to refinance amounts drawn under the Subconcession Facility, include among other things: (1) delivery of a project feasibility study, plans, budgets timetable,
projected results and an audited financial model; (2) obtaining a land concession for the City of Dreams; (3) obtaining relevant government and other authority approvals; and (4) the injection of equity such that the debt to equity
ratio will be no greater than 70:30. Subsequent drawdowns under the City of Dreams Facility are also subject to the maintenance of financial ratios and provision of certificates from technical consultants certifying the amount paid or payable for
the construction cost. MPBL Gaming and its subsidiaries will also be required to undertake a program to hedge exposures to interest rate fluctuations under the City of Dreams Facility. These hedging agreements will be secured on a pari passu basis
with the lenders.

Repayment

The City
of Dreams Facility will be repaid in quarterly installments commencing from the earlier of: (1) six months after the construction completion date for stage one of the project; and (2) 36 months from the City of Dreams Facility agreement
date (in the case of the non-gaming and general project facilities).

MPBL Gaming and Melco Hotels may make voluntary prepayments in
respect of the non-gaming facility and general project facility, subject to certain conditions and providing not less than 30 days prior written notice to the intercreditor agent, on any interest payment date without premium or penalty.
Voluntary prepayments will be applied to the principal outstanding on the City of Dreams Facility and to maturities on a pro-rata basis and amounts prepaid will not be available for redrawing.

We must make mandatory prepayments with, among other sources, all of (1) the net proceeds of any permitted equity or debt issuance (or, in the case
of any public offering subsequent to and other than a permitted public offering, in which event the amount will be 75% of such proceeds); (2) the net proceeds of any asset sale, subject to reinvestment rights and certain exceptions;
(3) net termination proceeds paid under MPBL Gamings subconcession, any lease agreement, the hotel management agreements, or any other material contracts or agreements (subject to certain exceptions); (4) the net proceeds or
liquidated damages paid pursuant to obligation, default or breach under the certain documents relating to the City of Dreams project; (5) the insurance proceeds net of expenses to obtain such proceeds, subject to reinvestment rights and certain
exceptions; and (6) excess cashflow (as defined under various financial ratio tests).

Accounts

The terms set forth in the termsheet attached to the commitment letter contemplate that all of the revenues of the gaming business operated by MPBL
Gaming, including the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams, be paid into a bank account established by MPBL Gaming, which will be divided further into sub-accounts, secured in favor of the security agent for the benefit of the lenders. Subject to such
security, such revenues will be paid out in order of priority, in accordance with the cash waterfall arrangements.

Interest and Fees

U.S. dollar and H.K. dollar denominated drawdowns will bear an initial interest rate of LIBOR and HIBOR, respectively, plus a margin, and the interest
rate margin will be adjusted in accordance with the total debt to EBITDA ratio on a consolidated basis

after the completion of the construction of the City of Dreams project. We will pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrears
from the date of the relevant facility agreement through the availability period. A commitment fee is payable on the daily undrawn amount under the relevant Subconcession Facility, non-gaming facility and general project facility, which percentage
will be reduced when more than 50% of the total commitment has been utilized.

PBL and Melco Support

PBL and Melco, as sponsors of the City of Dreams Facility, have undertaken to commit equity such that the debt to equity ratio would not exceed 70:30. In
addition, PBL and Melco will also provide, on a 50:50 several basis, corporate or bank guarantees with a rating of A- or above by S&P (or equivalent rating by Moodys) to cover as yet to be agreed amounts of contingent and deferred equity.

This annual report on Form 20-F contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events, including our future operating results and conditions, our prospects and our future financial performance and
condition, all of which are largely based on our current expectations and projections. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk Factors, Item 5.
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects and Item 4. Information on the Company. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from

predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of these factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any
forward-looking statement.

Exercise Price and Term of Awards.In general, the plan administrator will determine the exercise
price of an option and set forth the price in the award agreement. The exercise price may be a fixed or variable price related to the fair market value of our common shares. If we grant an incentive share option to an employee who, at the time of
that grant, owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our share capital, the exercise price cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common shares on the date of that grant.

The term of each award shall be stated in the award agreement. The term of an award shall not exceed 10 years from the date of the grant.

Vesting Schedule.In general, the plan administrator determines, or the award agreement will specify, the vesting schedule.

C. Board Practices

Composition of Board of Directors

Our board of directors consists of ten directors, including six directors nominated three each by Melco and PBL and four independent
directors. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c) generally requires that a majority of an issuers board of directors must consist of independent directors, but provides for certain phase-in periods under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(a)(5). However,
we do not currently intend to have a majority of independent directors at the end of the phase-in period. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(a)(1) permits foreign private issuers like us to follow home country practice in certain corporate
governance matters. Walkers, our Cayman Islands counsel, has provided a letter to the Nasdaq certifying that under Cayman Islands law, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors serving on our board of directors. At the end of
the phase-in period, we intend to rely on this home country practice exception and do not currently intend to have a majority of independent directors serving on our board of directors.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, our
directors have a fiduciary duty to act honestly, in good faith and with a view to our best interests. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the skill they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would
exercise in comparable circumstances. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. A shareholder has the right to seek
damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached.

The functions and powers of our board of directors include, among others:



| |  |  | convening shareholders annual general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | declaring dividends and distributions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | appointing officers and determining the term of office of officers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exercising the borrowing powers of our company and mortgaging the property of our company; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | approving the transfer of shares of our company, including the registering of such shares in our share register.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Terms of Directors and Executive Officers

Our
officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as they are removed from office by special resolution or the unanimous written
resolution of all shareholders. A director will be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; or (ii) dies or is found by our
company to be or becomes of unsound mind.

Melco PBL Joint Venture

In November 2004, Melco and PBL agreed to form an exclusive new joint venture in Asia to develop and operate casino, gaming machines and casino hotel
businesses and properties in a territory defined to include Greater China (comprising Macau, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan), Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries that may be agreed (but not
including Australia and New Zealand).

In March 2005, Melco and PBL concluded the joint venture arrangements resulting in our company
becoming a 50/50 owned holding company and entered into a shareholders deed that governed their joint venture relationship in our company and our subsidiaries. We will act as the exclusive vehicle of Melco and PBL to carry on casino, gaming
machines and casino hotel operations in Macau, while activities in other parts of the territory will be carried out under other entities formed by PBL and Melco. See Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party TransactionsB. Related
Party TransactionsNon-competition Agreement.

Original and Amended Shareholders Deed

Under the original shareholders deed, projects and activities of the joint venture in Greater China were to be undertaken by MPBL (Greater China),
which is effectively owned 60% by Melco and 40% by PBL, with projects in the Territory outside Greater China to be undertaken by one or more other of our subsidiaries which are effectively owned 60% by PBL and 40% by Melco.

Pre-reorganization Corporate Structure

Before
MPBL Gaming was issued a subconcession and the Macau government approved the transfer of control of MPBL Gaming to us, we held our interests in the subsidiaries that own the Crown Macau and the City of Dreams projects through MPBL (Greater China)
and held our interests in the Mocha Clubs through Mocha and its subsidiaries.

Under the original agreement between Melco and PBL regarding
their joint venture through MPBL Entertainment, it was contemplated that MPBL (Greater China) would hold and operate the interests of the joint venture in Greater China on

##### Table of Contents

the basis that Melcos effective interest would be 60% and PBLs effective interest would be 40%. For that
reason, MPBL (Greater China) was held 80% by us and 20% directly by Melco, and all of the Mocha operations and the Crown Macau and City of Dreams projects were held through MPBL (Greater China). Under amendments to the joint venture relationship in
connection with the obtaining of the subconcession in Macau, Melco and PBL have agreed that their interests throughout their agreed territory, including in Macau, will be held in equal proportions by each of them. As a result, the Mocha Clubs assets
and business and the holding subsidiaries for the Crown Macau and City of Dreams projects have been transferred to MPBL Gaming to be operated under the new subconcession and held indirectly in equal parts by Melco and PBL. None of the joint
ventures interests in Macau are now held through MPBL (Greater China). The 20% interest in MPBL (Greater China) held by Melco has been reclassified as non-voting shares and recently has been transferred to our wholly-owned subsidiary MPBL
International for a nominal amount.

The following chart sets forth our corporate structure prior to reorganization:

Memorandum of Agreement

Simultaneously with PBL entering into an agreement with Wynn Macau to obtain a subconcession on March 4, 2006, Melco and PBL executed a memorandum of agreement on March 5, 2006, relating to the amendment of
certain provisions of the shareholders deed and other commercial agreements between Melco and PBL in connection with their joint venture. Melco and PBL supplemented the memorandum of agreement by entering into a supplemental agreement to the

See Item 6. Directors,

B. Related Party Transactions

We have, from time to time, engaged in various transactions with related parties.

Transfer of Control of MPBL Gaming

After MPBL Gaming obtained the subconcession and we obtained
Macau governmental approval for our taking control of MPBL Gaming, effective control of MPBL Gaming was transferred to us through a series of steps involving the restructuring of the capital stock and conversion of subordinated debt of MPBL Gaming.

Pursuant to a memorandum of agreement dated March 5, 2006 and a supplemental agreement dated May 26, 2006, entered into between
PBL and Melco, Melco and PBL agreed to contribute US$320 million to us to subscribe for Class B shares of MPBL Gaming representing 72% voting control of MPBL Gaming and the rights to virtually all the profits of MPBL Gaming and virtually all the
proceeds of any winding up or liquidation of MPBL Gaming. This US$320 million was used to repay the US$320 million of loans earlier made by PBL and Melco to MPBL Gaming to fund part of the payment for the subconcession. The existing shares of MPBL
Gaming held by PBL Asia Limited were converted into Class A shares representing 18% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of MPBL Gaming. Class A shares representing 10% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of MPBL Gaming
were also issued to the Managing Director of MPBL Gaming, who is a Macau resident as required under Macau law, upon the subconcession being issued. The Class A shares are entitled to an aggregate of MOP 1 in dividends and MOP 1 in proceeds of
any winding up or liquidation of MPBL Gaming. A shareholders agreement was entered into on November 22, 2006 among our subsidiary, MPBL Investments, which holds the Class B shares, PBL Asia Limited, the Managing Director and MPBL Gaming under
which, among other things, PBL Asia Limited agrees to vote its Class A shares along with the Class B shares in all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of MPBL Gaming.

Mocha Clubs

Through a sequence of transactions, our wholly-owned subsidiary MPBL International and our 80%-owned subsidiary MPBL (Greater China) obtained 20% and 80%, respectively, of Mocha, largely through Melcos acquisition of a controlling
interest in Mocha and contribution of the shares of Mocha to MPBL (Greater China) as part of the formation of Melcos joint venture with PBL.

In June 2004, Melco acquired (1) 65% of the issued capital of Mocha from Better Joy Overseas Ltd., or Better Joy, a company which was then 77%-owned by Mr. Lawrence Ho and the Sharen Lo Trust, a trust for the benefit of
Ms. Sharen Lo, the wife of Lawrence Ho, and her offspring (subsequently held by persons and trusts associated with Mr. Lawrence Ho), and formerly 23%-owned by Dr. Stanley Ho, who subsequently transferred all of this 23% interest to a
discretionary trust formed for the benefit of members of the Ho family (including Mr. Ho and Dr. Ho) on November 17, 2006, and (2) 15% of the issued capital of Mocha from third party individuals. In July 2004, the remaining 20%
interest in Mocha was owned by Dr. Stanley Ho. At that time, Dr. Stanley Ho was the chairman of Melco and Mr. Lawrence Ho was the managing director of Melco. As part of the payment for the 65% interest in Mocha, Melco issued
124,701,087 shares of Melco to Better Joy. Melco also acquired a shareholder loan of US$5.8 million advanced by Better Joy to Mocha through the issuance of a note to Better Joy convertible into shares of Melco. Compensation expense of US$1.4 million
was recognised relating to the acquisition of this shareholder loan. See notes 1 and 3 to our financial statements.

After acquiring a
controlling interest in Mocha in June 2004, which then was operating two Mocha Clubs, Melco launched its first Mocha Club at Kampek, which is adjacent to the Hotel Lisboa, and subsequently opened three additional Mocha Clubs in Macau. Since prior to
September 2006, we were not a concessionaire or subconcessionaire, Mocha also entered into five-year services agreements with SJM, a company controlled by Dr. Stanley Ho. Pursuant to the services agreements, Mocha provided all of the gaming
machines at the Mocha Clubs and auxiliary services to SJM. Mochas service fees comprised 31% of gaming machine win from the Mocha Clubs. In 2006, the service fees received and receivable from SJM were US$16.3 million. In 2006, we paid SJM
US$2.2 million for electrical and mechanical equipment and related wiring and cabling work for the operation of the Mocha Clubs. As of December 31, 2006, we had an outstanding balance of US$163,000 due to SJM, which is unsecured, non-interest
bearing and repayable on demand.

In March 2005, Mocha became one of our subsidiaries when Melco contributed the 80% interest it then owned
in Mocha to our subsidiary MPBL (Greater China) in connection with forming the joint venture between Melco and PBL. Dr. Stanley Ho resigned as a director and the chairman of Melco in March 2006, and in May 2006, MPBL International, our
wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired the remaining 20% interest in Mocha and a shareholders loan from Dr. Stanley Ho to Mocha of HK$45.7 million (US$5.9 million), which had been fully paid off as of December 31, 2006.

In March 2006, when the agreement between PBL and Wynn Macau for the subconcession was entered into, Mocha entered into an agreement with SJM for the
conditional termination of all the existing services agreements for the Mocha Clubs. The agreement was terminated in September 2006 after MPBL Gaming obtained the subconcession. Shortly thereafter, we injected all the business assets of Mocha into
MPBL Gaming.

Crown Macau

In a
sequence of transactions, MPBL (Greater China), through Melco, obtained the site and development rights for the Crown Macau and all the shares of Great Wonders (except for the nominal shares held by other group companies as required by Macau law),
our holding subsidiary for the Crown Macau project.

The Crown Macau project started in September 2004, when Melco entered into an
agreement with STDM, the parent of SJM, to jointly develop and own a high-end casino hotel project on land located at Baixa da Taipa, Macau. Great Wonders, then a subsidiary of STDM, held the concession rights to the land for the development of the
casino hotel project. After entering into that agreement, Melco acquired the 100% interest in Great Wonders from STDM in a series of transactions between 2004 and 2005 by issuing to STDM shares currently representing an interest of approximately
1.8% in Melco and convertible bonds that will become convertible into 50,000,000 ordinary shares of Melco after November 9, 2007, and 13,658,536 ordinary shares of Melco after February 8, 2008. Such shares would currently represent an
interest of approximately 5.2% of Melcos outstanding ordinary shares.

##### Table of Contents

In connection with the formation of its joint venture with PBL, in March 2005, Melco transferred 70% of
its interest in Great Wonders to one of our subsidiaries, MPBL (Greater China). MPBL (Greater China) subsequently obtained the remaining 30% in July 2005. In March 2006, the Macau government officially granted to Great Wonders the land concession
for the Crown Macau site.

City of Dreams

In a series of transactions, MPBL (Greater China), through acquisition from Melco acquired the site and development rights for the City of Dreams through acquisition from Melco and all the shares of Melco Hotels, our current holding
subsidiary for the City of Dreams project.

The City of Dreams project started when Melco Leisure and Entertainment Group Limited, or Melco
Leisure, a subsidiary of Melco, and Great Respect Limited, or Great Respect, a company controlled by a discretionary trust formed for the benefit of members of the Ho family, formed a joint venture for the purpose of developing and operating an
integrated destination resort in Macau. The Great Respect/Melco Leisure joint venture applied to the Macau government for the grant of a land concession for development of the City of Dreams on the Cotai Strip through Melco Hotels, then a subsidiary
of Melco, which submitted the application to the Macau government. As part of the formation of their joint venture, Melco and PBL agreed in March 2005 that Melco Leisure would transfer to us its 50.8% interest in the City of Dreams project and Melco
Hotels would purchase from Great Respect the remaining 49.2% interest in the City of Dreams project. Melco Hotels also accepted in principle an offer from the Macau government to grant to Melco Hotels a long term lease of land parcels on the Cotai
Strip with an aggregate area of approximately 113,325 square meters (28 acres) for the development of the City of Dreams. Although there can be no certainty, we expect to finalize our negotiations with the Macau government and obtain a land
concession for the sites of the City of Dreams as soon as we finalize and submit to the Macau government our development plans for the entire site. See Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Completion and
Operation of Our ProjectsWe are developing the City of Dreams project on land for which we have not yet been granted a formal concession by the Macau government on terms acceptable to us. If we do not obtain a land concession on terms
acceptable to us, we could forfeit all or a part of our investment in the site and the design and construction of the City of Dreams and would not be able to open and operate that facility as planned.

C. Material Contracts

On January 22, 2007, Melco Hotels and Hard Rock have signed definitive agreements for the development of Hard Rock Hotel and Casino at the
City of Dreams, which is planned to open in the first phase in late 2008. Pursuant to the agreements, we have the exclusive right to use the Hard Rock brand for the hotel and casino facility at the City of Dreams for a term of ten years at fees
based on percentages of revenues generated at the property payable to Hard Rock.

Other than disclosed above, we have not entered
into any material contracts other than in the ordinary course of business and other than those described in Item 4. Information on the Company and Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions or elsewhere in this

D. Exchange Controls

Foreign Currency Exchange

The Hong Kong dollar is the predominant currency used in gaming transactions in Macau and is
often used interchangeably with the Pataca in Macau. The Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar within a narrow range and the Pataca is in turn pegged to the Hong Kong dollar. Although we will have certain expenses and revenues denominated in
Patacas in Macau, our revenues and expenses will be denominated predominantly in Hong Kong dollars and in connection with most of our indebtedness and certain expenses, U.S. dollars. No foreign exchange controls exist in Macau and Hong Kong and
there is a free flow of capital into and out of Macau and Hong Kong. There are no restrictions on remittances of Hong Kong dollars or any other currency from Macau and Hong Kong to persons not resident in Macau and Hong Kong for the purpose of
paying dividends or otherwise.

E. Taxation

Cayman Islands Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits,
income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be
applicable on instruments executed in, or brought within, the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Macau Taxation

Neither our ADSs nor
our ordinary shares are expected to be subject to tax in Macau.

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following discussion describes the material United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (defined below) under present law of an
investment in the ADSs or ordinary shares. This summary applies only to investors that hold the ADSs or ordinary shares as capital assets and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This discussion is based on the tax laws of the
United States as in effect on the date of this Form 20-F and on United States Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed, as of the date of this Form 20-F, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on
or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.

The following discussion does not deal with the tax consequences to any particular investor or to persons in special tax situations such as:



| |  |  | banks;
| | - |  | ------



| |  |  | certain financial institutions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | insurance companies;

| |  |  | broker dealers;

| |  |  | persons liable for alternative minimum tax;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons holding an ADS or ordinary share as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons that actually or constructively own 10.0% or more of our voting stock;

| |  |  | persons holding ADSs or ordinary shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX RULES TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL AS THE
STATE AND LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ADSS OR ORDINARY SHARES.

The
discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders will apply if you are a beneficial owner of ADSs or ordinary shares and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,



| |  |  | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) organized under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust that (1) is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons or (2) has a valid election
in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are a partner in partnership
or other entity taxable as a partnership that holds ADSs or ordinary shares, your tax treatment generally will depend on your status and the activities of the partnership.

The discussion below assumes that the representations contained in the deposit agreement are true and that the obligations in the deposit agreement and
any related agreement will be complied with in accordance with their terms. If you hold ADSs, you should be treated as the holder of the underlying ordinary shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom ADSs are pre-released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming, by
U.S. Holders of ADSs, of foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced rate of tax applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, as
described below. Accordingly, the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the U.S. Treasury or parties to whom ADSs are pre-released.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on the ADSs or Ordinary Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, the gross amount of all our distributions to you with respect to the ADSs or
ordinary shares generally will be included in your gross income as ordinary dividend income on the date of receipt by the depositary, in the case of ADSs, or by you, in the case of ordinary shares, but only to the extent that the distribution is
paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated
first as a tax-free return of your tax basis in your ADSs or ordinary shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds your tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain. We do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits
under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. Holder should expect that a distribution generally will be treated as a dividend. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect
of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders including individual U.S. Holders, for
taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, dividends may constitute qualified dividend income that is taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate provided



104



---

##### Table of Contents

that (1) the ADSs or ordinary shares, as applicable, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the
United States, (2) we are not a passive foreign investment company (as discussed below) for either our taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. For this
purpose, ADSs listed on the Nasdaq will be considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect
to our ADSs or ordinary shares.

Dividends will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the
dividends are qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will in general be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by
the reduced rate divided by the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by
us with respect to ordinary shares generally will constitute passive category income but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute general category income.

Taxation of Disposition of ADSs or Ordinary Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of an ADS or ordinary share equal to the difference between the amount
realized for the ADS or ordinary share and your tax basis in the ADS or ordinary share. The gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual U.S. Holder, who has held the ADS or
ordinary share for more than one year, you will be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that you recognize generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for
foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Based on the price of the ADSs and our ordinary shares, the composition of our income and assets and our operations, we believe that we were not a
passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended December 31, 2006. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year ending
December 31, 2007 or any future taxable year.



| |  |  | at least 75% of its gross income is passive income (the income test), or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or
are held for the production of passive income (the asset test).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will be treated as owning our
proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

We must make a separate determination each year, after the close of each taxable year, as to whether we are a PFIC. As a result, our PFIC status may
change. In particular, because the total value of our assets for purposes of the asset test generally will be calculated using the market price of our ADSs and ordinary shares, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of our
ADSs and ordinary shares, which may fluctuate considerably. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the ADSs and ordinary shares may result in our being a PFIC for any year. In addition, the composition of our income and assets will be
affected by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash we raise in any offering. If we are a PFIC for any year during which you hold ADSs or ordinary shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you
hold ADSs or ordinary shares. However, if we cease to be a PFIC, you may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a deemed sale election with respect to the ADSs or ordinary shares, as applicable.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold ADSs or ordinary shares, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any
excess distribution that you receive and any gain you realize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the ADSs or ordinary shares, unless you make a mark-to-market election as discussed below. Distributions
you receive



105



---

##### Table of Contents

in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the
three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:



| |  |  | the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we became a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary
income, and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to
underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tax liability for amounts
allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the ADSs or ordinary shares cannot be treated as
capital, even if you hold the ADSs or ordinary shares as capital assets.

We do not intend to prepare or provide the information that would
enable you to make a qualified electing fund election.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of marketable stock (as defined below) in
a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. If you make a valid mark-to-market election for the ADSs or ordinary shares, you will include in income each year an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ADSs or ordinary shares as of the close of your taxable year over your adjusted basis in such ADSs or ordinary shares. You are allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis
of the ADSs or ordinary shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. However, deductions are allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the ADSs or ordinary shares included in your income for prior
taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to the
deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the ADSs or ordinary shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net
mark-to-market gains previously included for such ADSs or ordinary shares. Your basis in the ADSs or ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If you make such an election, the tax rules that apply to distributions
by corporations that are not PFICs would apply to distributions by us, except that the lower applicable capital gains rate discussed above under Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on the ADSs and Ordinary Shares would
not apply.

The mark-to-market election is available only for marketable stock, which is stock that is traded in other than de
minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (regularly traded) on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. The Nasdaq is a qualified exchange and accordingly,
provided that the ADSs continue to be listed on the Nasdaq and are regularly traded, if you are a holder of ADSs, the mark-to-market election would be available to you were we to be a PFIC.

If you hold ADSs or ordinary shares in any year in which we are a PFIC, you will be required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding
distributions received on the ADSs or ordinary shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares.

You are
urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your investment in ADSs or ordinary shares.

Information Reporting
and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to ADSs or ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption
of ADSs or ordinary shares may be subject to information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding at a



106



---

##### Table of Contents

current rate of 28%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer
identification number and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding
rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information.

ITEM11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, construction materials
prices, credit extended to customers and interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Hong Kong dollar is the predominant currency used in gaming transactions in Macau and is often used interchangeably with the Pataca in Macau. The Hong
Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar within a narrow range and the Pataca is in turn pegged to the Hong Kong dollar. Although we will have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas in Macau, our revenues and expenses will be
denominated predominantly in Hong Kong dollars and in connection with most of our indebtedness and certain expenses, U.S. dollars. We cannot assure you that the current peg or linkages between the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar and Pataca will not be
broken or modified. See Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and Operating in MacauAny fluctuation in the value of the H.K. dollar, U.S. dollar or the Pataca may adversely affect our expenses
and profitability. We and our subsidiaries do not engage in hedging transactions with respect to foreign exchange risk.

Construction Materials
Risk

The development of our projects involves substantial capital expenditure and requires long periods of time to generate the
necessary returns. Our business will continue to be subject to significant expenses before and after the commencement of commercial operation of our projects. Prior to the completion of our development projects, our cost will be primarily driven by
expenses attributable to the construction contracts we have with Paul Y. Construction for the Crown Macau project and that we intend to enter into for the City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula projects. Although we have implemented measures to maintain
the agreed development costs within budget, for example, by controlling all the sub-contractor costs for the Crown Macau and may have similar cost control arrangements in the construction contracts for the City of Dreams and Macau Peninsula
projects, the actual expenses attributable to the construction contracts may increase. In addition, the cost of construction materials or equipment could increase prior to our entering into the construction contracts.

Credit Risk

We will conduct our table gaming
activities at our casinos on a limited credit basis as well as a cash basis. It is a common practice in Macau for junket operators or promoters to bear the responsibility for issuing and subsequently collecting credit. While we expect that most of
our gaming credit play will be via junket operators and promoters, who will therefore bear this credit risk, we may also grant gaming credit directly to certain customers. We may not be able to collect all of our gaming receivables from our credit
customers. We expect that we will be able to enforce our gaming receivables only in a limited number of jurisdictions, including Macau. As most of our gaming customers are expected to be visitors from other jurisdictions, principally Hong Kong and
the PRC, we may not have access to a forum in which we will be able to collect all of our gaming receivables. The collectibility of receivables from international customers could be negatively affected by future business or economic trends or by
significant events in the countries in which these customers reside. We intend to conduct credit evaluations of customers and generally do not require collateral or other security from our customers. We intend to establish an allowance for doubtful
receivables primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers. In the event a customer has been extended credit and has lost back to us the amount borrowed and the receivable from that
customer is still deemed uncollectible, Macau gaming tax will still be payable.

Interest Rates Risk

We do not currently have significant debt outstanding and we have not entered into any derivatives or other transactions to hedge interest rate risk.
Under our credit facilities to finance the development of our projects we will incur substantial indebtedness which will bear interest at floating rates based on HIBOR and LIBOR. Accordingly, we are subject to fluctuations in HIBOR and LIBOR. We
expect our lenders under the credit facilities to require us to partly hedge our floating rate debt through interest rate



108



---

##### Table of Contents

swaps, caps or other derivatives transactions. We will also hedge our exposure to floating interest rates in a manner we
deem prudent. Interests in security we provide to the lenders under our credit facilities, or other security or guarantees, may be required by the counterparties to our hedging transactions, which could increase our aggregate secured indebtedness.
We do not intend to engage in transactions in derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and we expect the provisions of our credit facilities to restrict or prohibit the use of derivatives and financial
instruments for purposes other than hedging.

Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our management, with the participation of our chief
executive officer and our chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(3) and 15d-15(3) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our
management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file and furnish under
the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and regulations. In addition, we are also in the process of adopting disclosure controls and
procedures and finalizing certain policies such as a communications policy, whistleblower policy and record retention policy.

Changes in Internal
Controls

There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by
this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include a report of managements assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

ITEM16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our Board of Directors has determined that David Elmslie qualifies as audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F. Each of the members of the Audit Committee is an
independent director as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

MELCO PBL ENTERTAINMENT (MACAU) LIMITED

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Melco PBL Entertainment (Macau) Limited (successor company) and Mocha Slot Group Limited
(predecessor company):

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Melco PBL Entertainment (Macau) Limited and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2006. We have also audited the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and cash flows of Mocha Slot Group Limited and subsidiaries (predecessor company) for the period from January 1, 2004 to
June 8, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the successor company referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Melco PBL Entertainment (Macau) Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, in our opinion, the predecessor companys financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated statement of operations and cash flows of Mocha Slot Group Limited and subsidiaries for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

obtaining a third piece of land in Macau for further development. Melco PBL Gaming (Macau) Limited (MPBL Gaming) holds a gaming subconcession for the operation of casino games of chance and other casino games in Macau.

Mocha Slot

On September 26,
2003, Better Joy Overseas Limited (Better Joy), which was 77% owned by Mr. Lawrence Ho, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Managing Director of Melco International Development Limited (Melco), and 23% owned
by Dr. Stanley Ho, the father of Mr. Lawrence Ho and the Chairman of Melco until he resigned this position in March 2006, acquired 65% of the outstanding shares of Mocha Slot from an independent third party. Dr. Stanley Ho and
Mr. Lawrence Ho both hold beneficial interests in Melco.

On March 19, 2004, Melco agreed to acquire 80% of the shares of Mocha
Slot, of which shares representing 65% were acquired from Better Joy and 15% were acquired from independent third parties for total consideration of $46,114. The transaction was completed on June 9, 2004 and was accounted for as a purchase by
Melco. Around the same time, the remaining 20% interest in Mocha Slot was acquired by Dr. Stanley Ho from an independent third party. The financial statements reflect Melcos basis of accounting for the initial 80% acquisition of Mocha.
The 20% minority interest was accounted for at historical cost until it was purchased from Dr. Stanley Ho on May 9, 2006. (see Note 3(a)).

On May 9, 2006, Melco PBL International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase agreement (Sale and Purchase Agreement) with Dr. Stanley Ho to acquire the remaining 20% of
Mocha Slot (Shares Sale) held by Dr. Stanley Ho and repaid the shareholder loan from Dr. Stanley Ho to Mocha Slot (Loan Sale) for an aggregate consideration of approximately $37,910, with $32,051 being the
consideration for the Shares Sale and approximately $5,859 being the consideration for the Loan Sale. The consideration for the Shares Sale was determined with reference to Mocha Slots estimated cash flows in future years while the
consideration for the Loan Sale was determined with reference to its fair value. The sale and purchase of the Shares Sale and the assignment of the Loan Sale under the Sale and Purchase Agreement were completed on the same date on which the Sale and
Purchase Agreement was signed (see Note 3(b)).

Great Wonders

On September 8, 2004, Melco entered into an agreement (the First Sale Agreement) with Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau, S.A.R.L.
(STDM), a company in which Dr. Stanley Ho has a beneficial interest, to establish Great Wonders. The principal activity of Great Wonders was to apply to the Macau Government for the concession of a site located at Taipa, Macau (the
Taipa Land) and to develop the Taipa Land into a luxury hotel casino (the Crown Macau Project). Pursuant to this First Sale Agreement, Melco purchased 50% of Great Wonders from STDM (see Note 19(e)) for consideration of
$35,748 in the form of notes convertible into ordinary shares of Melco. Melco acquired an additional 20% interest in Great Wonders on February 8, 2005 for consideration of $16,360 in the form of notes convertible into common shares of Melco and
the Company acquired the remaining 30% interest in Great Wonders on July 28, 2005 for consideration of $51,282, of which $25,641 was financed by an advance from Melco and Publishing and Broadcasting Limited (PBL) (see Note 19(e)).
On the dates that Melco and the Company acquired such interests, Great Wonders did not meet the definition of a business. Great Wonders had begun the construction of the hotel and casino by December 31, 2004.

Melco
Hotels

On October 28, 2004, Melco Leisure and Entertainment Group Limited (Melco Leisure), an entity wholly-owned by
Melco, entered into an agreement with Great Respect Limited (Great Respect), a company controlled by a discretionary family trust of Dr. Stanley Ho, the beneficiaries of which are members of Dr. Stanley Hos family
including Mr. Lawrence Ho, to establish a project to develop a site in Cotai, Macau (the Cotai Land), into an integrated entertainment resort (the City of Dreams Project). Pursuant to the agreement, Melco owned a 50.8%
interest in the City of Dreams Project through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Melco Hotels, and Great Respect owned the remaining 49.2% interest in this project. On May 11, 2005, the Company signed an agreement with Great Respect to acquire the
remaining 49.2% interest in the City of Dreams Project for consideration of $150,641, of which $48,077 was financed by a loan from Melco and PBL (see Note 19(d)). The transaction was completed on September 5, 2005. Melco Hotels had begun the
construction of the integrated entertainment resort by December 31, 2006.

MPBL Peninsula

On May 17, 2006, MPBL Peninsula, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to purchase the entire issued share capital of a
company of which Dr. Stanley Ho is one of the directors but in which he holds no shares. Such company will hold the rights to a land lease in respect of a plot of land with an area of 6,480 square meters located at Zona dos Novos Aterros do
Porto Exterior, on the Macau peninsula. The aggregate consideration is $192,802, which is payable in cash and the acquisition is expected to be completed in 2007 (see Note 19(j)).

Melco PBL Entertainment (Macau) Limited

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement entered into on December 23, 2004 as part of the formation of the Company by Melco and PBL, Melco, in exchange for its 50% interest in the Company, contributed its 80% interest in Mocha Slot and
its 70% interest in Great Wonders to Melco PBL Entertainment (Greater China) Limited (MPBL (Greater China)), a company 80% indirectly owned by the Company and 20% indirectly owned by Melco. In addition, pursuant to a concurrent
shareholder agreement, Melco also contributed Melco Hotels to the Company. Concurrently, PBL contributed $163,000 in cash to MPBL (Greater China) in exchange for its 50% interest in the Company. The contributions by Melco and by PBL (collectively,
the Transactions) were completed on March 8, 2005.

From June 9, 2004 for Mocha Slot, July 20, 2004 for Melco
Hotels and November 9, 2004 for Great Wonders through March 7, 2005, the financial statements reflect the consolidated financial statements of Mocha Slot, Melco Hotels and Great Wonders since they were under common control for this period.
The Transactions on March 8, 2005 were accounted for as the formation of a joint venture for which the carryover basis of accounting is adopted.

Mocha Slot is considered to be a predecessor of the Company as the Company succeeded to substantially all of the business of Mocha Slot and the Companys own operations prior to the succession were insignificant
relative to the operations assumed or acquired.

Group restructuring upon acquisition of gaming subconcession

On March 4, 2006, PBL entered into an agreement with Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. (Wynn Macau) to obtain a Macau gaming subconcession for
the operation of casino games of chance and other casino games in Macau (the Gaming Subconcession) for $900,000. PBL Asia Investments Limited (PBL Asia), which is owned by PBL, formed MPBL Gaming to hold the Gaming
Subconcession.

Pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement dated March 5, 2006 and a Supplemental Agreement dated May 26, 2006 (the
Agreements), entered into between Melco and PBL, Melco and PBL each agreed to contribute $160,000 for a total of $320,000 to the Company to subscribe for Class B shares of MPBL Gaming. In addition, PBL agreed to subscribe or cause its
subsidiary to subscribe for $80,000 of equity of MPBL Gaming. In aggregate with the proceeds of a $500,000 external credit facility, the above funds were used to pay Wynn Macau for the Gaming Subconcession.

Group
restructuring upon acquisition of gaming subconcession - continued

Pursuant to the Agreements, Melco and PBL agreed to adjust their
existing ownership interests throughout their agreed territory, including in Macau through the Company, from 60% held by Melco (40% via its interest in the Company and 20% via its interest in MPBL (Greater China)) and 40% held by PBL to be 50% owned
each by Melco and PBL (Group Restructuring).

As part of the Group Restructuring, the Company acquired the remaining 20%
minority interest in MPBL (Greater China) previously held by Melco. The Company accounted for this acquisition using the purchase method. The aggregate fair values of the 20% minority interest in MPBL (Greater China) were as follows:



|                                                                                |  |   |         |

At the date the Company acquired MPBL Gaming from PBL, MPBL Gaming owned the Gaming Subconcession
with a fair value of $900,000, subconcession bank loan of $500,000, loans from Melco and PBL of $320,000 (subsequently converted to equity), cash and cash equivalents of $25,739 and other net liabilities of $28,248. MPBL Gaming had no operations.
The Company accounted for this acquisition at the fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimated fair value of the Gaming Subconcession was derived from the purchase consideration paid by MPBL Gaming to obtain
the Gaming Subconcession.

The Mocha Slot assets and business together with the holding subsidiaries for the Crown Macau and the City of
Dreams projects were transferred to MPBL Gaming to be operated under the Gaming Subconcession immediately following the Group Restructuring. In October 2006, the Macau Government approved the transfer of control of MPBL Gaming to the Company.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company held a 100% interest in MPBL (Greater China), MPBL Peninsula and MPBL Gaming. Mocha Slot is held
by MPBL (Greater China) and Melco PBL International Limited as to 80% and 20%, respectively. Great Wonders and Melco Hotels are 100% held by MPBL Gaming.

Particulars regarding the Companys subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:

|2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | ------------------------------------------



| | (a) | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated on consolidation.



| | (b) | Use of Estimates
| | --- | ----------------

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

|2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Concentration of Risk
| | --- | ---------------------

Financial instruments that
potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and amounts due from affiliated companies. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial
institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.

The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require
collateral or other security from its customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful receivables primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.



| | (d) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
| | --- | -----------------------------------

The carrying
values of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due from (to) affiliated companies/person, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and amounts due to
shareholders approximate their fair value.



| | (e) | Cash and Cash Equivalents
| | --- | -------------------------

Cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased.



| | (f) | Inventories
| | --- | -----------

Inventories are stated at the lower
of cost or market value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method. Write downs of potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory are recorded based on managements specific analysis of inventory.



| | (g) | Goodwill and Intangible assets
| | --- | ------------------------------

The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill.

Goodwill and trademark
are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least on an annual basis at the balance sheet date.

The
slot lounge services agreement intangible has a finite useful life and is amortized over the estimated useful life.

The evaluation of
goodwill and trademark for impairment involves two steps: (1) the identification of potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill and (2) the measurement of the amount of
goodwill impaired by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill and recognizing a loss by the excess of the latter over the former. For the assessment of impairment loss, the Company
measures fair value based either on internal models or independent valuations.



| | (h) | Gaming Subconcession
| | --- | --------------------

The Gaming Subconcession is
capitalized based on the fair value of the Gaming Subconcession agreement as at the date of acquisition of MPBL Gaming, and amortized using the straight-line method over its term which is due to expire in June 2022.



| | (i) | Land use rights, net
| | --- | --------------------

Land use rights are recorded
at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the 25 year term of the land use right agreement on a straight-line basis.

stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over estimated service lives:

The Company is constructing its casino and hotel and integrated entertainment resort. In addition
to costs under the construction contracts, external costs directly related to the construction of such facilities, including duties and tariffs, equipment installation and shipping costs, are capitalized. Depreciation, is provided on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which do not exceed the respective land use rights term, and is recorded at the time assets are placed in service.

Assets recorded under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of their useful lives or the related lease term.

Depreciation expense recognized in the statement of operations for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (predecessor), June 9,
2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 were $154, $1,142, $3,939 and $8,606, respectively. The depreciation expense included $152, $1,132, $3,875 and $5,545 which were recorded in the operating costs for
the provision of services to gaming machine lounge, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (predecessor), June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. The
depreciation expense included $2, $10, $64 and $486 which were recorded in general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (predecessor), June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004
and the for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006, depreciation expense of $2,575 was recorded in slot lounge operating expenses.



| | (k) | Slot club awards
| | --- | ----------------

The Company provides slot
patrons with incentives based on the dollar amount of play on slot machines. A liability has been established based on an estimate of the value of these outstanding incentives, utilizing the age and prior history of redemptions.



| | (l) | Impairment of long-lived assets (other than goodwill)
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets with finite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. An impairment loss amounting to $7,640 was recognized on the slot lounge services agreement for the year ended December 31, 2006 (see Note
8). In addition, an impairment loss of $1,116 was recognized because of the relocation of a slot lounge during the year ended December 31, 2006, as determined based on the net book values of the property and equipment involved.

| | (m) | Revenue recognition
| | --- | -------------------

The Company recognizes
revenue at the time persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is provided or the retail goods are sold, prices are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Prior to termination of the SJM service agreement, revenue from fees for provision of services to electronic gaming machine lounges was recognized on an
accrual basis in accordance with the contractual terms of the respective service agreement. Such revenue was calculated based on a pre-determined rate, as stipulated in the respective service agreement, of the gaming revenue from the gaming
machines, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses less the accruals for the anticipated payouts of progressive slot jackpots.

Following termination of the SJM service agreement, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary MPBL Gaming, generates slot lounge gaming revenue under the Gaming Subconcession. Slot lounge gaming revenue is measured as the aggregate
net difference between gaming wins and losses less the accruals for the anticipated payouts of progressive slot jackpots.

Revenue from the
provision of food and beverage is recognized when the services are provided.

Revenues are recognized net of certain discounts and points
earned in customer loyalty programs, such as the players club loyalty program.



| | (n) | Total revenue
| | --- | -------------

The retail value of food, beverage
and other services furnished to guests without charge (promotional allowances) of nil, $71, $599 and $806 during the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (predecessor), June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, was not included in total revenue.

During the period from January 1, 2004
to June 8, 2004 (predecessor), June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the cost of providing such promotional allowances of nil, $61, $470 and $596, respectively, was included in the cost
of provision of services to gaming machine lounges.



| | (o) | Operating cost
| | --- | --------------

Operating cost includes direct
costs associated with the provision of services to electronic gaming machine lounges and provision of catering services, including salaries, employee benefits and overhead costs associated with employees providing the related services.



| | (p) | Capitalization of interest
| | --- | --------------------------

Interest incurred on
funds used to construct the hotels and casinos during the active construction period is capitalized. The interest capitalized is determined by applying the borrowing interest rate to the average amount of accumulated capital expenditures for assets
under construction during the period/year. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful life of the assets. Capitalized interest during the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004
(predecessor), June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 of nil, nil, $841 and $2,286, respectively, has been added to the cost of the underlying assets during the year and is amortized over the
respective useful life of the assets.



| | (q) | Advertising expenses
| | --- | --------------------

The Company expenses all
advertising costs as incurred. These costs were $66, $145, $471 and $1,582 for the period from January 1, 2004 to June 8, 2004 (predecessor), June 9, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006,

| | (r) | Income tax
| | --- | ----------

Deferred income taxes are recognized
for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and credits applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred
tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the
laws of the relevant taxing authorities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on the characteristics of the underlying assets and liabilities.



| | (s) | Pre-opening costs
| | --- | -----------------

Pre-opening costs, consisting
primarily of marketing expenses and other expenses related to new or start-up operations, are expensed as incurred.



| | (t) | Comprehensive income (loss)
| | --- | ---------------------------

Comprehensive income
(loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. During the period/year presented, the Companys comprehensive income (loss) represents its net income (loss) and
the foreign exchange difference arising from the translation of subsidiaries financial statements.



| | (u) | Foreign currency transactions and translations
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------

All transactions in currencies other than functional currencies during the period/year are remeasured at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities existing at the balance sheet date
denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are remeasured at the exchange rates existing on that date. Exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

The functional currencies of the Company and its major subsidiaries were U.S. dollar or the Macau Patacas, respectively. All assets and liabilities are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and all income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange over the year. All exchange differences arising from the translation of subsidiaries
financial statements are recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss).



| | (v) | Share-based compensation expenses
| | --- | ---------------------------------

The Company
measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period. Compensation is attributed to the periods of associated
service and such expense is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant, with such estimate updated periodically and with actual forfeitures recognized currently to
the extent they differ from the estimate.

Further information on the Companys share-based compensation arrangements is included in
Note 14 to the financial statements.



| | (w) | Deferred financing costs
| | --- | ------------------------

Direct and incremental
costs incurred in obtaining loans or in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2006, deferred financing

| | (x) | Recent changes in accounting standards
| | --- | --------------------------------------

In June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in
an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, or SFAS 109. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of FIN 48 on its
results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2006 the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, (SFAS 157),
Fair Value Measurement. SFAS 157 addresses standardizing the measurement of fair value for companies who are required to use a fair value measure of recognition for recognition or disclosure purposes. The FASB defines fair value as
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in
quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when
all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



|3. | ACQUISITION OF MOCHA SLOT
|-- | -------------------------



| | (a) | On June 9, 2004, Melco issued 124,701,086, 13,429,347, and 15,347,825 shares valued in total at $46,114 to Better Joy, Mr. Chang Wang and Mr. Chang Tan, respectively,
in exchange for their respective 65%, 7%, and 8% interests in Mocha Slot. Both Mr. Chang Wan and Mr. Chang Tan are independent third parties of Melco. Melco also acquired a shareholder loan of $5,769 advanced by Better Joy to Mocha Slot
through the issuance of a convertible note. The difference between the fair value of the convertible note and the shareholder loan acquired is recognized as a compensation expense paid to the management of Mocha Slot and amounted to $1,374 which is
recorded in general and administrative expenses.

Macau complementary tax has been provided at 12% on the estimated taxable income earned in or derived from Macau during the relevant year, if applicable.

Deferred tax, where applicable, is provided under the liability method at the enacted Macau statutory income tax rate applicable to the
respective financial years, on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax base of assets and liabilities.



|14. | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
|--- | ------------------------

The Company has adopted a
share incentive plan in 2006, to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, provide additional incentives to employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of its business. Under the
share incentive plan, the Company may grant options to purchase the Companys ordinary shares and restricted shares. The plan administrator will determine the exercise price of an option and set forth the price in the award agreement. The
exercise price may be a fixed or variable price related to the fair market value of our common shares. If the Company grants an incentive share option to an employee who, at the time of that grant, owns shares representing more than 10% of the
voting power of all classes of our share capital, the exercise price cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common shares on the date of that grant. The term of an award shall not exceed 10 years from the date of the grant. The
maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards (including shares issuable upon exercise of options) is 100,000,000 over 10 years, with a maximum of 50,000,000 over the first five years.

The Company has granted restricted shares to certain personnel in December 2006. The total number of restricted shares that were granted to those persons
equal $16,080 divided by the initial public offering price (as adjusted for the three ordinary shares to one ADS ratio), or approximately 2,540,000 restricted shares. These restricted shares have a vesting period ranging from six months to five
years. The Company recorded compensation expenses of approximately $278 as general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2006. All the restricted shares are unvested as of December 31, 2006 and the grant date fair
value is determined with reference to the initial public offering price as adjusted by the factor that these restricted shares are not entitled to dividends during the vesting period.

|15. | LOSS PER SHARE
|--- | --------------

Basic loss per share is calculated
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period/year. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested
restricted shares are considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic net loss per share calculation until the shares are vested. Diluted loss per share does not assume the effect of restricted
shares as the effect resulted in a decrease in loss per share.



|16. | DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS
|--- | -----------------------

All subsidiaries
incorporated in Macau are required to set aside a minimum of 10% of the entitys profit after taxation to the legal reserve until the balance of the legal reserve reaches a level equivalent to 50% of the entitys share capital in
accordance with the provisions of the Macau Commercial Code. The legal reserve sets aside an amount from the statement of operations and is not available for distribution to the shareholders of the subsidiaries. The appropriation of legal reserve is

|20. | SEGMENT INFORMATION - continued
|--- | -------------------------------

Notes:



| | (1) | Since the Crown Macau and City of Dreams projects are still under development stage, total revenue is solely contributed by Mocha Slot for the relevant periods.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Operating EBITDA (Mocha) is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other expenses (including pre-opening costs, general and administrative, selling
and marketing and non-operating income (expenses) relating to subsidiaries other than Mocha Slot) and impairment loss recognized on the slot lounge services agreement. The Operating EBITDA (Mocha) is presented for results of Mocha Slot only. The
management of the Company does not use Operating EBITDA on the Crown Macau and City of Dreams Projects to measure its operating performance since they are still under development stage.

|21. | FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
|--- | ---------------------

On February 13, 2006,
Great Wonders entered into a two-tranche $164,524 term loan facility agreement (Facility) with certain lenders in relation to the construction of the Crown Macau Project. MPBL (Greater China) currently guarantees all payment obligations
of Great Wonders arising under any drawdown against the Facility.

The maturity date for any amounts drawn under this facility is
February 13, 2013 and the applicable interest rate any such amounts is Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, or HIBOR, plus 2.2% per annum. As of December 31, 2006, no amounts had been drawn and the full commitment amount is available for
use until the earlier of February 13, 2008 and the date falling three months after the issuance of the occupation permit of the Crown Macau Project by the Macau Government.

The loans are secured by liens on all present and future assets of Great Wonders. The security package consists of a mortgage on the site and the building
and fixtures, a power of attorney, a payment guarantee by MPBL (Greater China), a cost overrun funding guarantee by MPBL (Greater China), a subordination agreement by MPBL (Greater China), a pledge or assignment of cash receipts, bank accounts, the
shares of Great Wonders, insurance policies, building contracts, any hotel management agreement, and all other assets of Great Wonders and other securities.

The Facility includes covenants and events of default. If an event of default exists, then the facility agent will, if so instructed by the lenders representing 66% of the total commitment amount, give notice of
acceleration to Great Wonders and MPBL (Greater China) and demand immediate repayment of all amounts due under the facility agreement.

In
September 2006, MPBL Gaming entered into a $500,000 term loan facility (Subconcession Facility) with certain lenders to pay the remaining purchase price payable upon the Macau Governments approval of the issuance of a Gaming
Subconcession to MPBL Gaming. MPBL Gaming, along with Melco and PBL, also entered into a commitment letter with those same banks as arrangers for a US$1.6 billion secured credit facility to refinance the Subconcession Facility and finance the
development costs of the City of Dreams project. PBL and Melco, as sponsors of the facility, have undertaken to commit equity such that the debt to equity ratio would not exceed 70:30. In addition, PBL and Melco will also provide, on a 50:50 several
basis, corporate or bank guarantees to cover as yet to be agreed amounts of contingent and deferred equity. However, the granting of this facility is subject to conditions set forth in the commitment letter and the finalization of the negotiation of
certain material terms and will be terminated if facility documents are not executed by June 30, 2007.
