MARKET OVERVIEW AND KEY HIGHLIGHTS
MACAU MARKET
Market-wide gross gaming revenues for first six months of 2013 increased
15.3% from the comparable period in 2012 to a record US$21.4 billion. The mass market table games segment continues to drive market-wide growth rates higher, expanding 30.2% on a year-over-year basis, supported by improved infrastructure, expanded hotel rooms supply and an expanded non-gaming offering. Over the same period, the rolling chip segment delivered a robust 10.5% year-over-year growth in gross gaming revenues. The mass market table games segment now accounts for 28.3% of market-wide gross gaming revenues, compared to 25.1% for the same period in 2012. Melco Crown Entertainment, with its large exposure to the mass market table games segment in the fast growing Cotai region, is well positioned to cater to this increasingly important, and more profitable, segment of the market. This mass market exposure is set to increase meaningfully over the foreseeable future with the development of Studio City and the fifth hotel tower at City of Dreams.
In the first six months of 2013, visitation to Macau increased 4.2% over the same period of 2012, with year-over-year growth rates accelerating during May and June of 2013. Visitors from China continue to outpace visitors from other geographies, increasing 9.8% on a year-over-year basis and now account for 63.0% of all visitors to Macau in the first half of 2013 compared to 59.7% in the same period of 2012. Visitors from Hong Kong and Taiwan account for 23.8% and 3.2% of total visitation in the first six months of 2013, respectively.
Macau continues to benefit from the Macau and Mainland Chinese Governments development plans for the region, including improved infrastructure, immigration
City of Dreams is the flagship integrated entertainment resort of Melco Crown Entertainment in Cotai, Macau

policies and development of the Hengqin special economic zone. This wide-reaching development plan is expected to strengthen the appeal of Macau as a multi-faceted leisure and tourism destination, offering an increasingly expanded array of entertainment attractions and amenities to drive long term growth and a more diversified tourism experience.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Studio City
The development of Studio City remains on-budget and on-track to open in mid-2015. With the foundation and piling work now complete, the construction of the next phase is progressing as planned. Studio City, the Companys next integrated resort in Cotai, Macau, will further expand the Companys already substantial exposure to the mass market segments with its unique, cinematically-themed design and numerous interactive attractions which will further diversify Macaus leisure and tourism offerings.
The Company also successfully raised US$825.0 million under the Studio City Notes offering and signed the facilities agreement with the lead arranging banks in relation to the US$1.4 billion Studio City senior secured facilities, both of which were achieved without a corporate guarantee from the Company. Together with the full contribution of committed shareholder equity, these financings upon full drawdown are expected to deliver a fully funded project at the Studio City level. Our funding approach for Studio City, together with our fixed-price, lump-sum, contracting strategy provides us with greater certainty regarding cost and timing for the project.
City of Dreams
In April 2013, the all new Taboo show came back to City of Dreams bringing a new cabaret experience to Club Cubic. This Franco Dragone inspired show demonstrates our commitment to further diversify the leisure and entertainment options that Macau has to offer and provides City of Dreams with another tool to support its high-end and premium mass market business.
The Company is also moving forward with the development of the fifth hotel tower at City of Dreams and anticipates the commencement of construction by the end of 2013. This iconic hotel tower represents another powerful addition to our wide array of amenities and attractions that City of Dreams already offers to its customers, helping extend its leading position in the increasingly important high-end and premium mass segments.
Philippines Development
The development of the Companys Philippines Project continues to progress as planned, with the opening date of the integrated resort anticipated to occur at around the middle of 2014. The Philippines Project is expected to be one of the Philippines leading integrated tourism resorts and to diversify the Companys exposure to the rapidly developing Asian gaming and entertainment industry,

Market Overview and Key Highlights
enabling Melco Crown Entertainment to further participate in the growth in the Asian middle class and the increasing consumerism of this important target market.
MCP has recently raised approximately US$339.0 million of net proceeds from a top-up placement which included the offer and sale of common shares of MCP together with an over-allotment option.
MCPs net contribution towards the project up to the time of opening is estimated to be approximately US$620.0 million, consisting of funds primarily for capital expenditures, working capital for initial opening and other pre-opening expenses. However, this estimate may be revised depending on a range of variables, including the final design and development plans, funding costs, the availability of financing on terms acceptable to us, and prevailing market conditions.
In March 2013, we closed the transactions for our cooperative arrangements with the Philippine Parties for the development and operation of the Philippines Project. Upon closing, three of our subsidiaries including MCE Leisure Philippines and the Philippine Parties, namely, SM Investments Corporation, Belle Corporation and PremiumLeisure Amusement, Inc. together became co-licensees (the Licensees) under the provisional license (the Provisional License) granted by PAGCOR for the establishment and operation of the Philippines Project. The Provisional License, as well as any regular license to be issued to replace it upon satisfaction of certain conditions, will expire on July 11, 2033. Under the Provisional License, MCE Leisure Philippines will operate the casino business of the Philippines Project.
Other Recent Developments
The Company recently successfully raised a US$1 billion high yield bond at an attractive 5% coupon, with the proceeds used to repurchase the 2010 Senior Notes and fund the related redemption costs, with the remainder of the net proceeds to fund the partial repayment of the RMB Bonds. The refinancing will, among other things, result in lower future interest charges and reduced covenants.
The Companys Philippines Project is set to diversify the tourism and entertainment landscape in the region
Melco Crown Entertainment Limited INTERIM REPORT 2013 5
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a developer, owner and, through our subsidiary Melco Crown Macau, operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities.
We currently have two major casino based operations, namely, City of Dreams and Altira Macau, and non-casino based operations at our Mocha Clubs. The Company is also developing the planned Studio City project, a cinematically-themed integrated entertainment, retail and gaming resort in Cotai, Macau. Our current and future Macau operations are designed to cater to a broad spectrum of gaming patrons, from high-stakes rolling chip gaming patrons to gaming patrons seeking a broader entertainment experience. We currently own and operate two Forbes Five Star hotels in Macau: Altira Macau and The Crown Towers hotel. We seek to attract patrons throughout Asia and, in particular, from Greater China.
Our current operating facilities are focused on the Macau gaming market, which we believe will continue to be one of the largest gaming destinations in the world. In the first six months of 2013, Macau generated approximately US$21.4 billion of gaming revenues, according to the DICJ, representing a 15.3% increase from the comparable period of 2012. In addition, Macau is currently the only market in Greater China, and one of only several in Asia, to offer legalized casino gaming.
In the Philippines, our majority-owned subsidiary MCP has been cooperating with SM Groups Belle Corporation to develop and operate a casino, hotel, retail and entertainment integrated resort in the Entertainment City complex in Manila.
Our Companys ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Global Market in December 2006 and were upgraded to be traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market in January 2009. Our Company also successfully completed a dual primary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2011.
City of Dreams
City of Dreams is an integrated casino resort in Cotai, Macau which opened in June 2009. City of Dreams targets the premium mass gaming market and rolling chip players from regional markets across Asia. As of June 30, 2013, City of Dreams featured a casino area of approximately 448,000 square feet with approximately 450 gaming tables and approximately 1,560 gaming machines.
The Crown Towers hotel, a Forbes Five-Star Hotel, and the Hard Rock Hotel each offers approximately 300 guest rooms, and the Grand Hyatt Macau hotel offers approximately 800 guest rooms. City of Dreams includes over 20 restaurants and bars, approximately 70 retail outlets, an audio visual multimedia experience, recreation and leisure facilities, including health and fitness clubs, three swimming pools, spas and salons, and banquet and meeting facilities. The Club Cubic nightclub, with approximately 26,210 square feet of live entertainment space, opened at City of Dreams in April 2011.

Business Overview
The Dancing Water Theater, a wet stage performance theater with approximately 2,000 seats, opened in September 2010 and features the internationally acclaimed and award winning The House of Dancing Water show.
The Company is moving forward with the development of the fifth hotel tower at the City of Dreams. Construction of this iconic tower is expected to commence by the end of 2013, helping us extend our leading position in the high-end and premium mass segments.
Altira Macau
Altira Macau opened in May 2007 and is designed to provide a casino and hotel experience that caters to Asian rolling chip customers and players sourced primarily through gaming promoters.
As of June 30, 2013, Altira Macau featured a casino area of approximately 173,000 square feet with a total of approximately 170 gaming tables. Altira Macaus multi-floor layout comprises primarily designated gaming areas and private gaming rooms for rolling chip players, together with a general gaming area for the mass market that offers various table limits to cater to a wide range of mass market patrons. Our multi-floor layout allows us the flexibility to reconfigure Altira Macaus gaming areas to meet the changing demands of our patrons and target specific customer segments.
We consider Altira Hotel, located within the 38-story Altira Macau, to be one of the leading hotels in Macau as evidenced by its continuous Forbes Five-star recognition. The top floor of the hotel serves as the hotel lobby and reception area, providing guests with views of the surrounding area. The hotel comprises approximately 200 guest rooms, including suites and villas. A number of restaurants and dining facilities are available at Altira Macau, including a leading Italian restaurant Aurora, several Chinese and international restaurants, dining

areas focused around the gaming areas and several bars. Altira Hotel also offers non-gaming entertainment venues, including a spa, gymnasium, outdoor garden podium and a sky terrace lounge.
Altira Macau continues to offer the most luxurious hotel experience to every customer with its internationally acclaimed accommodation and guest services. It has been awarded the Forbes Five Star rating in both Lodging and Spa categories by the Forbes Travel Guide (formerly known as Mobil Travel Guide) for the fourth year running in 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, Altira Developments, our subsidiary through which we hold the land and building for Altira Macau, applied for an amendment to the land concession contract, including the increase of the total gross floor area, to reflect the construction plans approved by the Macau Government and to enable final registration of the land concession. In January 2013, Altira Developments accepted the initial terms for the revision of the land lease agreement which require an additional land premium of approximately US$2.4 million payable to the Macau Government upon acceptance of the final amendment proposal issued by the Macau Government, and revise the government land use fees to approximately US$0.2 million per annum. On June 26, 2013, the Macau Government communicated to Altira Developments the final amendment proposal for the revision of the Altira land concession contract. On July 15, 2013, Altira Developments paid the additional land premium set forth in the final amendment proposal, and on July 16, 2013, it accepted the terms of such proposal. Following the publication in the Macau official gazette of such revision, the land grant amendment process will be complete.
Mocha Clubs
Mocha Clubs first opened in September 2003 and has grown to ten Mocha Clubs, with gaming space ranging from approximately 3,000 square feet to 21,500 square feet. As of June 30, 2013, Mocha Clubs had 1,976 gaming machines in

Business Overview
operation, which represented 13.0% of the total machine installation in the market, according to DICJ. Mocha Clubs focus on general mass market players, including day-trip customers, outside the conventional casino setting. Except for Mocha Altira located at Altira Macau, we operate Mocha Clubs at leased or sub-leased premises or under right-to-use agreements.
Our Mocha Clubs comprise the largest non-casino based operations of electronic gaming machines in Macau and are located in areas with strong pedestrian traffic, typically within three-star hotels. We may open additional Mocha Clubs at locations that satisfy the criteria set forth in the applicable regulatory requirements.
In addition to slot machines, each Mocha Club site offers electronic tables without dealers. The gaming facilities at our Mocha Clubs include what we believe is the latest technology for gaming machines and offer both single-player machines with a variety of games, including progressive jackpots, and multi-player games where players on linked machines play against the house in electronic roulette, baccarat and sicbo, a traditional Chinese dice game.
In 2012, the Macau Government enacted an Administrative Regulation which came into effect on November 27, 2012, pursuant to which slot machine lounges, such as our Mocha Clubs, may only be installed: (i) in hotels classified with at least five stars; (ii) properties entirely allocated to non-residential purposes and located within less than 500 meters of an authorized hotel-casino; or (iii) in commercial and leisure complexes, of relevant touristic interest, not inserted in a densely populated area. Under this regulation, the Macau Government should take the necessary measures to enable existing slot lounges to comply with the applicable requirements until November 27, 2013. We have been requested by the Macau Government to close three of our Mocha Clubs, namely, Mocha Lan Kwai Fong, Mocha Marina Plaza and Mocha Hotel Taipa Best Western, by November 26, 2013 in compliance with this regulation. We intend to comply with such request and instruction and at the same time we are currently in the course of identifying

Melco Crown Entertainment Limited INTERIM REPORT 2013 9
suitable locations for the relevant Mocha Clubs to be relocated, in compliance with the regulation. In this regard, we have recently obtained approval from the Macau Government to relocate Mocha Marina Plazas operation to the Kuong Fat building
(Mocha Kuong Fat), in Macau. We have recently signed an agreement with the owner to use the premises where Mocha Kuong Fat will be located and expect to open such operation in the near future, after obtaining DICJs approval.
Studio City
We are currently developing Studio City, a large-scale cinematically-themed integrated entertainment, retail and gaming resort which is expected to open around mid-2015. Studio City upon completion will include significant gaming capacity, five-star hotel offerings and various entertainment, retail and food and beverage outlets to attract a diverse range of customers. Studio City is designed to capture the increasingly important mass market segment, with its destination theming, unique and innovative interactive attractions, and strong Asian focus.
The Studio Citys site is on a plot of land of 130,789 square meters (approximately
1.4 million square feet) in Cotai, Macau and is located directly adjacent to the Lotus Bridge immigration checkpoint and one of the proposed light rail stations. We believe that the location of Studio City, in addition to its vast array of entertainment and leisure offerings, is a key competitive advantage.
Studio City has an approved gross construction area of 707,078 square meters (approximately 7.6 million square feet). We currently estimate on a preliminary basis that the design and construction cost for the first phase of Studio City will be approximately US$2.04 billion. Our plans for the expansionary phase at Studio City is under review.
The Company successfully raised US$825.0 million under our Studio City Notes offering in November 2012 and signed the facilities agreement in January 2013 with the lead arranging banks in relation to US$1.4 billion Studio City senior secured facilities, both of which were achieved without a corporate guarantee from the Company. Together with full contribution of committed shareholder equity, these financings, upon full drawdown, are expected to deliver a fully funded project at the Studio City level. This funding approach, together with a fixed price, lump-sum, contracting strategy provides Melco Crown Entertainment with greater certainty regarding cost and timetable.

Business Overview
Philippines Project
We, together with the Philippine Parties, are currently developing the Philippines Project. The Philippines Project is expected to be one of the Philippines leading integrated tourism resorts with a planned opening date in mid-2014. It is located on an approximately 6.2-hectare site in Entertainment City, Manila, close to Metro Manilas international airport and central business districts.
The Philippines Project is expected to open in mid-2014. Upon completion and subject to final property design, the Philippines Project is expected to have approximately 20,100 square metres (approximately 216,000 square feet) of aggregate gaming space and total gross floor area of approximately 300,100 square metres (approximately 3.2 million square feet). The resort is expected to have approximately 1,450 slot machines and over 240 gaming tables, six hotel towers with approximately 950 rooms in aggregate, including VIP and five-star luxury rooms and high-end boutique hotel rooms, five specialty restaurants along with a number of bars and a multi-level car park. The Philippines Project is also expected to feature three separate entertainment venues, including a family entertainment center, a live performance central lounge within the casino and a night club encapsulated within the Fortune Egg, an attractive domelike structure, which will be accented with creative external lighting and is expected to become a centerpiece attraction of the Philippines Project. Construction of the Philippines Project is currently underway. As of June 30, 2013, the construction on the main building structures of the Philippines Project is substantially complete, while the construction of the connected structures and the fit-out construction of the Philippines Project are ongoing.

On November 26, 2012, Studio City Finance issued the Studio City Notes.
On December 19, 2012, we completed the acquisition of a major interest in the issued share capital of MCP.
On February 7, 2013, MCE Finance issued the 2013 Senior Notes.
On March 11, 2013, we have completed the early redemption of the RMB Bonds in full in aggregate principal amount together with accrued interest.
On March 13, 2013, the cooperation agreement and the lease agreement between MCE Holdings Group and the Philippines Parties became effective.
On March 28, 2013, we have completed the early redemption of 2010 Senior Notes.
FACTORS AFFECTING OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE RESULTS
Our results of operations are and will be affected most significantly by:
The growth of the gaming and leisure market in Macau, which is facilitated by a number of key drivers and initiatives including, among others, favorable population demographics and economic growth in major Asian tourism markets, substantial private capital investment in Macau, particularly in developing diversified destination resort properties, and the commitment and support of PRC central and Macau local governments to improve and develop infrastructure both within, and connecting to, Macau;
The current economic and operating environment, including the impact of global and local economic conditions, changes in capital market conditions as well as the impact of visa and other regulatory policies of PRC central and Macau local governments;
Melco Crown Entertainment Limited INTERIM REPORT 2013 13
The competitive landscape in Macau, which is expected to evolve as more gaming and non-gaming facilities are developed in Macau, including the expected new supply of integrated resorts in the Cotai region of Macau, as well as the impact of recent or future expansion of gaming markets throughout Asia;
The different mix of table and machine games at our casinos, such as the mix between rolling chip and mass market table game segments, and customer playing habits as well as changes in the mix of rolling chip business sourced through gaming promoters or via our direct VIP relationships;
Our relationships with gaming promoters, which contribute a significant portion of our casino revenues, expose us to credit risk (given the majority of these gaming promoters are provided with credit as part of the ordinary course of business) and to any change in the gaming promoter commission environment in Macau. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately 51.3% and 53.8% of our casino revenues were derived from customers sourced through our rolling chip gaming promoters, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our top five customers and the largest customer were gaming promoters and accounted for approximately 21.2% and 6.0% of our casino revenues, respectively. We believe we have good relationships with our gaming promoters and our commission levels broadly have remained stable throughout our operating history. Commissions paid to our rolling chip gaming promoters (net of amounts indirectly rebated to customers) amounted to US$195.9 million, and US$148.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively;
Our exposure to interest rate risk is associated with our substantial indebtedness bearing interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings and we may supplement by hedging activities in a manner we deem prudent. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31,

14 INTERIM REPORT 2013 Melco Crown Entertainment Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis
2012, approximately 68% and 67%, respectively, of our total debt was based on fixed rates. Based on June 30, 2013, an assumed 100 basis point change in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR) and London Interbank Offered Rate would cause our annual interest cost to change by approximately US$8.4 million; and
Our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is associated with the currency of our operations and our indebtedness and as a result of the presentation of our financial statements in U.S. dollars. The majority of our revenues are denominated in H.K. dollars, given the H.K. dollar is the predominant currency used in gaming transactions in Macau and is often used interchangeably with the Pataca in Macau, while our expenses are denominated predominantly in Patacas. In addition, a significant portion of our indebtedness, as a result of the 2013 Senior Notes and Studio City Notes, and certain expenses, have been and are denominated in U.S. dollars, and the costs associated with servicing and repaying such debt will be denominated in U.S. dollars. We also have a certain portion of our assets and liabilities denominated in Philippine Peso, as a result of our acquisition of a major interest in the issued share capital of MCP in late 2012 and MCPs share placement transactions in 2013.
Any significant fluctuations in the exchange rates between H.K. dollars, Patacas or Philippine Peso to U.S. dollars may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition.
We accept foreign currencies from our customers and as at June 30, 2013, in addition to H.K. dollars and Patacas, we hold a nominal amount of other foreign currencies. However, any foreign exchange risk exposure associated with those currencies is minimal.
We have not engaged in hedging transactions with respect to foreign exchange exposure of our revenues and expenses in our day-to-day operations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Instead, we maintain a certain amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have obligations, thereby reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations. However, we occasionally enter into foreign exchange transactions as part of financing transactions and capital expenditure programs.
See note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this interim report for further details related to our indebtedness and foreign currency exposure as of June 30, 2013.
Major currencies in which our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash held as at June 30, 2013 are U.S. dollars, H.K. dollars, New Taiwan dollars, Philippine Peso and Patacas. Based on the balances of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances as of June 30, 2013, an assumed 1% change in the exchange rates between currencies other than U.S. dollars
Melco Crown Entertainment Limited INTERIM REPORT 2013 15
against the U.S. dollars would cause a maximum foreign transaction gain or loss of approximately US$20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Based on the balances of long-term debts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars as of June 30, 2013, an assumed 1% change in the exchange rates between H.K. dollar against the U.S. dollar would cause a foreign transaction gain or loss of approximately US$8.0 million.
Our historical financial results may not be characteristic of our potential future results as we continue to expand and refine our service offerings at our properties and develop and open new properties.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs)
We use the following KPIs to evaluate our casino operations, including table games and gaming machines:
Rolling chip volume: the amount of non-negotiable chips wagered and lost by the rolling chip market segment.
Rolling chip win rate: rolling chip table games win (calculated before discounts and commissions) as a percentage of rolling chip volume.
Mass market table games drop: the amount of table games drop in the mass market table games segment.
Mass market table games hold percentage: mass market table games win as a percentage of mass market table games drop.
Table games win: the amount of wagers won net of wagers lost on gaming tables that is retained and recorded as casino revenues.
Gaming machine handle (volume): the total amount wagered in gaming machines.
Gaming machine win rate: gaming machine win expressed as a percentage of gaming machine handle.
In the rolling chip market segment, customers purchase identifiable chips known as non-negotiable chips, or rolling chips, from the casino cage, and there is no deposit into a gaming tables drop box of rolling chips purchased from the cage. Rolling chip volume and mass market table games drop are not equivalent. Rolling chip volume is a measure of amounts wagered and lost. Mass market table games drop measures buy in. Rolling chip volume is generally substantially higher than mass market table games drop. As these volumes are the denominator used in calculating win rate or hold percentage, with the same use of gaming win as the numerator, the win rate is generally lower in the rolling chip market segment than the hold percentage in the mass market table games segment.

Our combined expected rolling chip win rate (calculated before discounts and commissions) across our properties is in the range of 2.7% to 3.0%.
We use the following KPIs to evaluate our hotel operations:

Occupancy rate: the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period.
Revenue per available room, or REVPAR: calculated by dividing total room revenues (less service charges, if any) by total rooms available, thereby representing a combination of hotel average daily room rates and occupancy.
Complimentary rooms, for which rates are set at a discount from standard walk-in rates, are included in the calculation of these measures. As not all available rooms are occupied, average daily room rates are normally higher than revenue per available room.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 Revenues
Our total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were US$2.44 billion, an increase of US$474.6 million, or 24.1%, from US$1.97 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in total net revenues was driven by substantially improved group-wide mass table games and rolling chip revenue.
Our total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 comprised of US$2.37 billion of casino revenues, representing 97.3% of our total net revenues,
Melco Crown Entertainment Limited INTERIM REPORT 2013 17
and US$66.2 million of net non-casino revenues (total non-casino revenues after deduction of promotional allowances). Our total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 comprised of US$1.90 billion of casino revenues, representing 96.5% of our total net revenues, and US$68.5 million of net non-casino revenues.
Casino. Casino revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were US$2.37 billion, representing a US$476.9 million, or 25.1%, increase from casino revenues of US$1.90 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to an increase in casino revenues at City of Dreams and Altira Macau of US$404.9 million, or 30.2% and US$74.0 million, or 16.0%, respectively. This increase was primarily a result of increased rolling chip volume and mass market table game drop at both City of Dreams and Altira Macau, as well as an improved blended mass market table games hold percentage. Our mass market table games revenues continue to improve reflecting the success of a range of gaming floor efficiency initiatives, improved casino visitation and casino marketing initiatives, together with a strong overall market growth environment in the segment.
Altira Macau. Altira Macaus rolling chip volume for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was US$23.6 billion, representing an increase of US$2.5 billion, or 12.0%, from US$21.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The rolling chip win rate (calculated before discounts and commissions) was 2.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, within our expected level of 2.7% to 3.0%, and increased slightly from 2.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. In the mass market table games segment, mass market table games drop was US$336.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of 16.4% from US$289.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The mass market table games hold percentage was 15.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing a decrease from 17.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
City of Dreams. City of Dreams rolling chip volume for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of US$48.6 billion represented an increase of US$10.3 million, or 26.8%, from US$38.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The rolling chip win rate (calculated before discounts and commissions) was 2.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, in line with our expected range of 2.7% to 3.0%, and reflected a slight decline from 3.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. In the mass market table games segment, mass market table games drop was US$2,148.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which represented an increase of US$460.4 million, or 27.3%, from US$1,687.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The mass market table games hold percentage was 32.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2013, demonstrating a large increase from 28.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Average net win per gaming machine per day was US$335 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of US$15, or 4.7%, from US$320 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Mocha Clubs. Mocha Clubs average net win per gaming machine per day for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was US$210, an increase of approximately US$23, or 12.3%, from US$187 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Rooms. Room revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were US$62.3 million, representing a US$4.9 million, or 8.5%, increase from room revenues of US$57.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to improved occupancy and the positive impact from the increase in average daily rate. Altira Macaus average daily rate, occupancy rate and REVPAR were US$231, 99% and US$227, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to US$221, 97% and US$214, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. City of Dreams average daily rate, occupancy rate and REVPAR were US$190, 96% and US$182, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to US$185, 90% and US$167, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Food, beverage and others. Other non-casino revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included food and beverage revenues of US$37.9 million and entertainment, retail and other revenues of approximately US$45.9 million. Other non-casino revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included food and beverage revenues of US$32.7 million and entertainment, retail and other revenues of approximately US$43.0 million. The increase of US$8.1 million in food, beverage and other revenues from the six months ended June 30, 2012 to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to higher business volumes associated with an increase in visitation during the period as well as the improved yield of rental income at City of Dreams.
Operating costs and expenses
Total operating costs and expenses were US$2.06 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of US$343.6 million, or 20.0%, from US$1.72 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to an increase in operating costs at City of Dreams and Altira Macau which were in-line with the increased gaming volume and associated increase in revenues as well as the increase in associated costs in connection with MCP after our acquisition of the majority interest in MCP, including fees and costs associated with the corporate reorganization of MCP.

Casino. Casino expenses increased by US$311.0 million, or 22.8%, to US$1.67 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from US$1.36 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to additional gaming tax and other levies and commission expenses of US$267.3 million as well as other operating costs, such as payroll and promotional expenses of US$43.7 million, which increased as a result of increased gaming volume and associated increase in revenues.
Rooms. Room expenses, which represent the costs in operating the hotel facilities at Altira Macau and City of Dreams, decreased by 20.8% to US$6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from US$7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a higher level of complimentary hotel rooms offered to gaming customers for which the associated costs are included as casino expenses.
Food, beverage and others. Food, beverage and others expenses remained stable at US$44.9 million and US$45.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by US$9.2 million, or 8.5%, to US$117.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from US$108.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses, marketing and advertising expenses as well as repair and maintenance costs to support continuing and expanding operations.
Pre-opening costs. Pre-opening costs were US$6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to US$3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Such costs relate primarily to personnel training, marketing, advertising and administrative costs in connection with new or start-up operations. Pre-opening costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily related to the administrative costs in connection with the Philippines Project and the Studio City project. The pre-opening costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 related

to the administrative costs in connection with the Studio City, the opening of The Tasting Room and Signature Club Lounge at City of Dreams, and the introduction of Taboo at Club Cubic.
Development costs. Development costs were US$20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which predominantly related to fees and costs associated with the corporate reorganization of MCP by the Company as well as corporate business development. Development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of US$0.6 million were primarily professional and consultancy fee for the corporate business development.
Amortization of gaming subconcession. Amortization of our gaming subconcession continued to be recognized on a straight-line basis at US$28.6 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Amortization of land use rights. The increase in amortization of land use rights expenses to US$32.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from US$28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the additional amortization of land use rights expenses associated with amended Studio City land concession contract in July 2012.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by US$1.4 million, or 1.1%, to US$130.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from US$132.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to fully depreciated assets at City of Dreams and Altira Macau during the six months ended June 30, 2013, offset in part by depreciation of assets progressively added to City of Dreams since fourth quarter of 2012 as well as depreciation of an aircraft acquired in July 2012.
Property charges and others. Property charges and others generally include costs related to the remodeling and branding which might include the retirement, disposal or write-off of assets. Property charges and others for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were US$3.7 million, which primarily included a write-off of US$3.0 million for the final payment in relation to a service contract at City of Dreams. Property charges and others for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were US$3.6 million, which mainly related to costs incurred for implementing our streamlined management structure in February 2012.
Non-operating expenses
Non-operating expenses consist of interest income, interest expenses, net of capitalized interest, amortization of deferred financing costs, loan commitment fees, foreign exchange (loss) gain, net, change in fair value of interest rate swap agreements, loss on extinguishment of debt and costs associated with debt modification, as well as other non-operating income, net.
Interest income was US$2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to US$5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily driven by a lower interest income from RMB Bonds proceeds deposit upon the early redemption of RMB Bonds in March 2013.

Interest expenses were US$82.5 million, net of capitalized interest of US$11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to US$51.4 million, net of capitalized interest of US$4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net interest expenses (net of interest capitalization) of US$31.1 million was primarily due to: (i) US$36.0 million and US$19.9 million higher interest expenses upon our issuance of Studio City Notes in November 2012 and 2013 Senior Notes in February 2013, respectively; (ii) US$14.0 million interest on capital lease obligation relating to MCPs building lease payments incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013; partially offset by (iii) a lower interest charges of US$24.6 million upon our redemption of our 2010 Senior Notes in March 2013 and US$7.5 million upon our repayment and redemption on the Deposit-Linked Loan and RMB Bonds as well as (iv) higher interest capitalization of US$6.5 million primarily associated with the Studio City construction and development project.
Other finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of US$20.8 million, included US$9.2 million of amortization of deferred financing costs and loan commitment fees of US$11.6 million. Other finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of US$7.0 million, included US$6.3 million of amortization of deferred financing costs and loan commitment fees of US$0.7 million. The increase in amortization of deferred financing costs compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the recognition of amortized deferred financing costs incurred for the Studio City Notes issued in November 2012 and the 2013 Senior Notes issued in February 2013, which were offset in part by the cessation of amortization of deferred financing costs relating to the RMB Bonds and 2010 Senior Notes upon our redemption. The increase in loan commitment fees compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily associated with the Studio City Project Facility, which became effective from January 28, 2013.
Loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was US$50.9 million, which mainly represented a portion of the 2010 Senior Notes redemption fees and unamortized deferred financing costs that are not eligible for capitalization. See note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this interim report for more information.
Costs associated with debt modification for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were US$10.5 million, which mainly represented a portion of underwriting fee, legal and professional fees incurred for refinancing 2010 Senior Notes with 2013 Senior Notes that are not eligible for capitalization. See note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this interim report for more information.
There was no loss on extinguishment of debt or costs associated with debt modification for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Income tax credit
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a negative rate of 0.7%, as compared to a negative rate of 0.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Such rates for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 differ from the statutory Macau Complementary Tax rate of 12% primarily due to the effect of change in valuation allowance and expense for which no income tax benefit is receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the effect of a tax holiday of US$58.4 million and US$41.6 million on the net income of our Macau gaming operations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to our income tax exemption in Macau, which is set to expire in 2016. Our management does not expect to realize a significant income tax benefit related to deferred tax assets generated by our Macau operations; however, to the extent that the financial results of our Macau operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to reduce the valuation allowance through earnings.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests
Our net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of US$28.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to US$7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was primarily due to the share of the Studio City expenses of US$25.1 million and MCP expenses of US$3.8 million, respectively, by the respective minority shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the noncontrolling interests share of Studio City financing costs and the Philippines Projects pre-operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Net income attributable to Melco Crown Entertainment
As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of US$234.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net income of US$204.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

ADJUSTED PROPERTY EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
Our Adjusted property EBITDA were US$645.7 million and US$481.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Adjusted property EBITDA of Altira Macau, City of Dreams and Mocha Clubs were US$81.5 million, US$547.1 million and US$18.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and US$81.1 million, US$382.3 million and US$18.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our Adjusted EBITDA were US$603.6 million and US$446.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our management uses Adjusted property EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our Altira Macau, City of Dreams and Mocha Clubs businesses, and to compare the operating performance of our properties with those of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted property EBITDA are also presented as supplemental disclosures because management believes they are widely used to measure performance and as a basis for valuation of gaming companies. Our management also uses Adjusted property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because they are used by some investors as a way to measure a companys ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported similar measures as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in particular, U.S. GAAP or IFRS.
However, Adjusted property EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, construed as an alternative to profit or operating profit, treated as an indicator of our U.S. GAAP operating performance, other operating operations or cash flow data, or interpreted as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented in this interim report may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies operating in the gaming or other business sectors. While our management believes these figures may provide useful additional information to investors when considered in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial statements and other information in this interim report, less reliance should be placed on Adjusted property EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in assessing our overall financial performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have relied and intend to rely on our cash generated from our operations and our debt and equity financings to meet our financing needs and repay our indebtedness, as the case may be.
As of June 30, 2013, we held unrestricted and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$1,959.1 million and US$1,075.0 million, respectively, and HK$3.12 billion (approximately US$401.1 million) of the 2011 Credit Facilities remained available for future drawdown.
In addition, under our Studio City Project Facility, we have HK$10,855,880,000 (equivalent to approximately US$1.4 billion), comprising a five year HK$10,080,460,000 (equivalent to approximately US$1.3 billion) delayed draw term loan facility and a HK$775,420,000 (equivalent to approximately US$100 million) revolving credit facility. The entire Studio City Project Facility remains available for future drawdown, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.
The restricted cash related to our Taiwan branch offices deposit account, MCPs restricted cash and Studio Citys cash and cash equivalents.
Since January 2013, our Taiwan branch offices deposit account has been presented as restricted cash because the funds in the account have been frozen pursuant to an investigation by Taiwanese authorities. We are taking action to request the Taiwanese authorities to unfreeze the account. See note 2(b) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this interim report for further details.
MCPs restricted cash represented cash in escrow account as required in the Provisional License issued by PAGCOR for the development of the Philippines Project. Under the Provisional License granted by PAGCOR, it is a requirement that the Licensees set-up an escrow account with an amount of US$100 million with a universal bank mutually agreed by PAGCOR and the Licensees. All funds for the development of the casino project shall pass through the escrow account and all drawdowns of funds from the said escrow account must be applied to the Philippines Project. The escrow account should have a maintaining balance of US$50.0 million equivalent until the Philippines Projects completion. On March 21, 2013, MCE Leisure Philippines, as one of the Licensees, established a new escrow account replacing the existing escrow account and deposited US$50.0 million equivalent to the new escrow account. The escrow account will be closed at completion of the Philippines Project.

Management Discussion and Analysis
The Studio City cash and cash equivalents comprised of net proceeds from offering of Studio City Notes and the unspent cash from the capital injection for the Studio City project from the Company and SCI minority shareholder in accordance with our shareholder agreement, both of which were restricted only for payment of construction and development costs and other project costs of the Studio City project in accordance with Studio City Notes and Studio City Project Facility terms.
We have been able to meet our working capital needs, and we believe that our operating cash flow, existing cash balances, funds available under the 2011 Credit Facilities and Studio City Project Facility and additional equity or debt financings will be adequate to satisfy our current and anticipated operating, debt and capital commitments, including our development project plans, as described in Other Financing and Liquidity Matters below. For any additional financing requirements, we cannot provide assurance that future borrowings will be available. We have significant indebtedness and will continue to evaluate our capital structure and opportunities to enhance it in the normal course of our activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$519.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to US$394.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributable to strong growth in underlying operating performance as described in the foregoing section.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was US$61.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net cash used in investing activities of US$186.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash of US$334.1 million, which were offset in part by the capital expenditure payment of US$167.2 million, advance payments for constructions costs of US$38.6 million, the land use rights payments of US$30.4 million as well as the payment for contract acquisition costs and security deposit of US$32.0 million.
The net decrease of US$334.1 million in the amount of restricted cash for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to (i) the release of deposit of proceeds from issuance of the RMB Bonds of US$368.2 million pledged for the Deposit-Linked Loan upon our early redemption in March 2013; (ii) decrease in Studio City restricted cash of US$118.7 million primarily due to withdrawal and payment of Studio City project costs of US$222.7 million and payment of Studio City Notes interest of US$36.0 million, partially offset in part by the capital injection for the Studio City project from the Company and our SCI minority shareholder of US$140.0 million in April 2013; (iii) the US$50.0 million deposited to an escrow account as required by PAGCOR in March 2013 as aforesaid mentioned and (iv) the restricted Taiwan branch offices deposit account of US$102.8 million.
Our total capital expenditures payments for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were US$167.2 million in comparison to US$79.9 million paid in the six months ended June 30, 2012. Capital expenditures were mainly associated with enhancements to our integrated resort offerings and for the development of Studio City for both periods; while capital expenditure for the development of the Philippines Project have also been incurred for the period ended June 30, 2013. We also paid US$22.1 million and US$8.3 million for the scheduled installment of Studio Citys and City of Dreams land premium payments, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to US$35.4 million and US$7.9 million for the scheduled installment of Studio Citys and City of Dreams land premium payments, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to US$105.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the proceeds from the drawdown of US$43.0 million from our Aircraft Term Loan in June 2012 and the capital injection of US$60.0 million in January 2012 from SCI minority shareholder, in accordance with our shareholder agreement.
INDEBTEDNESS
The following table presents a summary of our indebtedness as of June 30, 2013:
As of June 30, 2013
(in thousands of US$)
2013 Senior Notes $1,000,000
Studio City Notes 825,000
2011 Credit Facilities 802,241
Aircraft Term Loan 37,434
$2,664,675
Major changes in our indebtedness during the six months ended June 30, 2013 are summarized below.
In January 2013, we commenced a cash tender offer of the 2010 Senior Notes and repurchased approximately US$599.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Senior Notes. On March 28, 2013, we redeemed all of the remaining 2010 Senior Notes, following which, the 2010 Senior Notes were cancelled in late March 2013. No 2010 Senior Notes are currently outstanding. A portion of the proceeds from the 2013 Senior Notes offering was used for the cash tender offer and redemption of the 2010 Senior Notes. Prior to such cash tender offer and full redemption, we had completed a consent solicitation process in connection with the 2010 Senior Notes in October 2012 and paid approximately US$15.0 million to the holders who had validly delivered the relevant consent.
On January 28, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the Studio City Project Facility, a senior secured project facility for a total sum of HK$10,855,880,000 (equivalent to approximately US$1.4 billion), comprising a five year HK$10,080,460,000 (equivalent to approximately US$1.3 billion) delayed draw

term loan facility and a HK$775,420,000 (equivalent to approximately US$100 million) revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Studio City Project Facility bear interest at HIBOR plus a margin of 4.50% per annum until the last day of the second full fiscal quarter after the opening date of the Studio City project. After that, interest will accrue at HIBOR plus a margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.50% per annum, depending on the total leverage ratio of Studio City Investments Limited, Studio City Company Limited and its subsidiaries.
On February 7, 2013, we issued US$1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2013 Senior Notes with an interest rate of 5.00% per annum and the maturity date of February 15, 2021. 2013 Senior Notes were priced at par and listed on the Official List of the SGX-ST. The net proceeds were partly used to repurchase the 2010 Senior Notes in full.
In March 2013, we repaid in full the Deposit-Linked Loan with accrued interest and redeemed, in full, the RMB Bonds following which, the RMB Bonds were cancelled. No RMB Bonds are currently outstanding. The redemption was partly funded by the proceeds from the offering of 2013 Senior Notes.
In late March 2013, we repaid the drawn revolving credit facility under the 2011 Credit Facilities of HK$1.7 billion (equivalent to approximately US$212.5 million) in full.
Credit facility agreements relating to certain of our indebtedness contain change of control provisions, including in respect of our obligations relating to our control and/or ownership of certain of our subsidiaries and their assets. Under the terms of such credit facility agreements, the occurrence of certain change of control events, including a decline below certain thresholds in the aggregate direct or indirect shareholdings of Melco Crown Macau, MCE Finance, Studio City Finance, MCE Cotai Investments Limited (MCE Cotai) or certain of its subsidiaries held by us and/or Melco and Crown or MCE Cotai (as the case may be) (and, in the

Other applicable change of control events under the credit facility agreements include the Company ceasing to be publicly listed on certain designated stock exchanges or the steps being taken in connection with the liquidation or dissolution of MCE Finance. The terms of the Studio City Notes and 2013 Senior Notes also contain change of control provisions whereby the occurrence of a relevant change of control event (as referred to in the aforementioned paragraph) under the Studio City Notes or 2013 Senior Notes will trigger the requirement for us to offer to repurchase the Studio City Notes or 2013 Senior Notes (as the case may be) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and, if any, additional amounts and other amounts specified under such Notes to the date of repurchase.
For further details of the above indebtedness, please refer to note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 annual report published on April 18, 2013 and note 8 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein, which includes information regarding the type of debt facilities used, the maturity profile of debt, the currency and interest rate structure and the nature and extent of any restrictions on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to transfer funds as cash dividends, loans or advances.
OTHER FINANCING AND LIQUIDITY MATTERS
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. We are a growing company with significant financial needs. We expect to have significant capital expenditures in the future as we continue to develop our Macau properties, in particular, Studio City, the Philippines Project and the next phase of City of Dreams.

INTERIM REPORT 2013
Melco Crown Entertainment Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis
We have relied and intend in the future to rely on our operating cash flow and different forms of financing to meet our funding needs and repay our indebtedness, as the case may be.
The timing of any future debt and equity financing activities will be dependent on our funding needs, our development and construction schedule, the availability of funds on acceptable terms to us, and prevailing market conditions. We may carry out activities from time to time to strengthen our financial position and ability to better fund our business expansion. Such activities may include refinancing existing debt, monetizing assets, sale-and-leaseback transactions or other similar activities.
We currently estimate the construction cost for Studio City will be approximately US$2.0 billion. However, this cost estimate may be revised depending on a number of variables, including receipt of all necessary governmental approvals, the final design and development plan, funding costs, the availability of financing on terms acceptable to us, and prevailing market conditions. As of June 30, 2013, we had incurred approximately US$250.7 million (excluding the cost of land) for the development of Studio City since our acquisition of a 60% equity interest in SCI, primarily for site preparation costs and design and consultation fees.
For the purpose of financing the Studio City project, we successfully offered the US$825.0 million Studio City Notes and obtained the HK$10.9 billion Studio City Project Facility, in November 2012 and January 2013, respectively. As of the date of this interim report, MCE and SCI minority shareholder contributed US$640.0 million to the Studio City project in accordance with the shareholder agreement.
In April, 2013, MCP completed a top-up placement on the Philippine Stock Exchange raising approximately US$339.0 million in net proceeds, including the over-allotment option which, together with a shareholder loan commitment made by MCE or other debt financing, are expected to provide the funding necessary to open our unique integrated casino resort in Manila in mid-2014.
MCPs net contribution towards the project up to the time of opening is estimated to be approximately US$620.0 million, consisting of funds primarily for capital expenditures, working capital for initial opening and other pre-opening expenses. However, this estimate may be revised depending on a range of variables, including the final design and development plans, funding costs, the availability of financing on terms acceptable to us, and prevailing market conditions.
The development of the Philippines Project and the next phase of City of Dreams are subject to further financing and a number of other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our investment plans are preliminary and subject to change based upon the execution of our business plan, the progress of our capital projections, market conditions and outlook on future business.

The Company is also moving forward with the development of the fifth hotel tower at City of Dreams and anticipates the commencement of construction by the end of 2013.
As of June 30, 2013, we had capital commitments contracted for, but not provided, totaling US$1,194.1 million mainly for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment for City of Dreams, Studio City and Philippines Project. In addition, we have contingent liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. For further details for our commitments and contingencies, please refer to note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this interim report.
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our gearing ratios (total debts divided by total assets) were 32.1% and 40.2%, respectively. Our gearing ratio decreased as of June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of decreased indebtedness from the redemption of the 2010 Senior Notes and RMB Bonds and repayment of the drawn revolving credit facility under the 2011 Credit Facilities, offset by issuance of 2013 Senior Notes.
In January 2013, the Taiwanese authorities commenced investigating certain alleged violations of Taiwan banking laws by certain employees of the Taiwan branch office of our subsidiary. In an attempt to prevent the dissipation of any potential personal gains made by these employees from such alleged violations, the Taiwanese authorities have frozen one of our Taiwan branch offices deposit accounts in Taiwan, which had a balance of approximately New Taiwan dollar 2.98 billion (equivalent to US$102.2 million) at the time the account was frozen and was treated as restricted cash. No funds have been confiscated from the account. We are taking action to request the Taiwanese authorities to unfreeze the account. As of June 30, 2013, there was no material impact to the financial position and results of operation of our Group. Based on the progress of investigation to date which is in preliminary stage, management is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter, the extent of materiality, or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.
Melco Crown Macau has a rating of BB by Standard & Poors and MCE Finance has a rating of Ba3 by Moodys Investors Service. For future borrowings, any decrease in our corporate rating could result in an increase in borrowing costs.

OTHER INFORMATION
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
Our Company is committed to conducting our business consistent with the highest standards of corporate governance practices and procedures and has adopted our own corporate governance principles and guidelines (the Companys Code) to deliver these commitments. The Companys Code has been amended to fully address the principles and code provisions as set out in the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report (the Corporate Governance Code) as stated in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules. The guidelines contained in the Companys Code were also developed by the Board taking into consideration the applicable corporate governance standards of NASDAQ. In addition, our Company has also adopted a number of other policies and guidelines, developed internally, to enhance our corporate governance practices and procedures.
Our Company has complied with all provisions in the Corporate Governance Code for the six months ended June 30, 2013, except for the following deviations:
Pursuant to the code provision A.2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer of a listed company should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. However, in view of the present composition of the Board, the in depth knowledge of Mr. Lawrence Yau Lung Ho of the operations of our Group and of the gaming and entertainment sector in Macau in general, his extensive business network and connections in that sector and the scope of operations of our Group, the Board believes it is in the best interests of our Company for Mr. Lawrence Yau Lung Ho to assume the roles of Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at this time and that such arrangement be subject to review by the Board from time to time.
Pursuant to the code provision A.4.1 of the Corporate Governance Code, non-executive directors should be appointed for specific term, subject to re-election. Our Company has deviated from this provision in that all non-executive Directors are not appointed for specific term. They are, however, subject to retirement and re-election every three years. The reason for the deviation is that our Company does not believe that arbitrary term limits on Directors services are appropriate given that the Directors ought to be committed to representing the long term interests of our Shareholders and the retirement and re-election requirements of non-executive Directors have given the Shareholders the right to approve the continuation of non-executive Directors offices.

MCP SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN
Apart from the 2006 Share Incentive Plan and the 2011 Share Incentive Plan, our subsidiary, MCP, also operates a share incentive plan to promote the success and enhance the value of MCP, by linking the personal interests of members of the board of directors, employees and consultants of MCP, its subsidiaries, holding companies and affiliated companies by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to MCPs stockholders (MCP Share Incentive Plan). The MCP Share Incentive Plan, with amendments, was approved by MCP shareholders at the annual stockholders meeting held, and became effective, on June 21, 2013. The MCP Share Incentive Plan was also approved by our Company shareholders at our extraordinary general meeting on June 21, 2013. The Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission approved such amendments on June 24, 2013.
Please refer to the circular of our Company dated June 4, 2013 for details of the terms of the MCP Share Incentive Plan.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deloitte.
To the Board of Directors of Melco Crown Entertainment Limited:
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) set out on pages 68 to 126, which comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and the related condensed consolidated statement of operations, statement of comprehensive income, statement of shareholders equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of these condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The financial information as of December 31, 2012 presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results of such periods.
(b) Restricted Cash
The current portion of restricted cash represents those cash deposited into bank accounts which are restricted as to withdrawal and use and the Group expected those fund will be released or utilized in accordance with the terms of the respective agreements within the next twelve months, while the non-current portion of restricted cash represents those fund will not be released or utilized within the next twelve months. Restricted cash as of June 30, 2013 comprises of i) bank accounts that are restricted for withdrawal and for payment of Studio City project costs in accordance with the terms of the $825,000 8.5% senior notes, due 2020 (the Studio City Notes) and other associated agreements; ii) a subsidiarys Taiwan branch offices deposit account in Taiwan which was frozen by the Taiwanese authorities in January 2013 for investigation of certain alleged violations of Taiwan banking laws by certain employees of the Taiwan branch office and to prevent the dissipation of any potential personal gains made by these employees from such alleged violations; and iii) cash in escrow account, which was setup in March 2013, that is restricted for payment of the Philippines Project in accordance with the terms of the provisional license (the Provisional License) as disclosed in Note 14(a) issued by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino receivables. The Group issues credit in the form of markers to approved casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness including to its gaming promoters in Macau, which receivable can be offset against commissions payable and any other value items held by the Group to the respective customer and for which the Group intends to set-off when required. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, a substantial portion of the Groups markers were due from customers residing in foreign countries. Business or economic conditions, the legal enforceability of gaming debts, or other significant events in foreign countries could affect the collectability of receivables from customers and gaming promoters residing in these countries.
Accounts receivable, including casino, hotel and other receivables, are typically non-interest bearing and are initially recorded at cost. Accounts are written off when management deems it is probable the receivable is uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An estimated allowance for doubtful debts is maintained to reduce the Groups receivables to their carrying amounts, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based on specific review of customer accounts as well as managements experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions. Management believes that as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which an allowance had not already been recorded.
(d) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Impairment losses and gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating income. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
During the construction and development stage of the Groups casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities, direct and incremental costs related to the design and construction, including costs under the construction contracts, duties and tariffs, equipment installation, shipping costs, payroll and payroll-benefit related costs, depreciation of plant and equipment used, applicable portions of interest and amortization of deferred financing costs, are capitalized in property and equipment. The capitalization of such costs begins when the construction and development of a project starts and ceases once the construction is substantially completed or development activity is suspended for more than a brief period.
Melco Crown Entertainment Limited INTERIM REPORT 2013 79
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Property and Equipment (continued)
Depreciation and amortization expense related to capitalized construction costs and other property and equipment is recognized from the time each asset is placed in service. This may occur at different stages as casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities are completed and opened.
Property and equipment and other long-lived assets with a finite useful life are depreciated and amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Classification
Estimated Useful Life
Buildings
7 to 25 years or over the term of the land use right agreement, whichever is shorter
Building under capital lease
25 years or over the term of the lease agreement, whichever is shorter
Aircraft
10 years
Leasehold improvements
5 to 10 years or over the lease term, whichever is shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
2 to 10 years
Motor vehicles
5 years
Plant and gaming machinery 3 to 5 years
(e) Gaming Taxes
The Group is subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenue in Macau. These gaming taxes are determined from an assessment of the Groups gaming revenue and are recorded as an expense within the Casino line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These taxes totaled $1,199,672 and $974,304 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(f) Share-based Compensation Expenses
The Company issued restricted shares and share options under its share incentive plans during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Companys subsidiary, MCP, adopted a share incentive plan (the MCP Share Incentive Plan) and issued restricted shares and share options to purchase common shares of MCP.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(f) Share-based Compensation Expenses (continued)
The Group 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 Groups share-based compensation arrangements is included in Note 13.
(g) Net Income Attributable to the Company Per Share
Basic net income attributable to the Company per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income attributable to the Company per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(h) Recent Changes in Accounting Standards
Newly adopted accounting pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended accounting guidance to simplify testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The amended guidance allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the asset is impaired. The adoption of this amended standard was effective for the Group as of January 1, 2013 and did not have a material impact on the Groups unaudited condensed consolidated financial results or disclosures.
In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount is reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The adoption of this guidance was effective for the Group as of January 1, 2013 and did not have a material effect on the Groups unaudited condensed consolidated financial results or disclosures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(h) Recent Changes in Accounting Standards (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncement not yet adopted
In February 2013, the FASB issued an authoritative pronouncement related to obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The pronouncement provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this pronouncement is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this pronouncement also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments are effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Updates should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the scope that exist at the beginning of an entitys fiscal year of adoption. An entity may elect to use hindsight for the comparative periods (if it changed its accounting as a result of adopting the amendments in this pronouncement) and should disclose that fact. The Group is assessing the impact of the adoption of this amended guidance.
In March 2013, the FASB issued an authoritative pronouncement related to parents accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. When a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The adoption of this amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Groups unaudited condensed consolidated financial results or disclosures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(h) Recent Changes in Accounting Standards (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncement not yet adopted (continued)
In July 2013, the FASB issued a pronouncement which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments are effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Groups unaudited condensed consolidated financial results or disclosures.
