Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was US$38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to US$44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest and other finance costs resulting primarily from a reduced interest rate after the Group amended the 2011 VML Credit Facility in March 2014, as described below.
Profit for the Period
Profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was US$1,370.4 million, an increase of US$429.9 million, or 45.7%, compared to US$940.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
2.2 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We fund our operations through cash generated from our operations and our debt financing.
In March 2014, we amended our 2011 VML Credit Facility, which extended the maturity of US$2.39 billion in aggregate principal amount of the term loans under the facility to March 31, 2020 (the “Extended 2011 VML Term Facility”), and provided for revolving loan commitments of US$2.0 billion (the “Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility”). A portion of the revolving proceeds was used to pay down the US$819.7 million in aggregate principal balance of the 2011 VML Term Facility loans that were not extended. Borrowings under the Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility are being used to fund the development, construction and completion of Sands Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao, and for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. As at June 30, 2014, the Group had US$1.18 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility.

We have begun construction activities on the remaining phase of the project, which will include a fourth hotel and mixed-use tower, located on parcel 5, under the St. Regis brand. The total cost to complete the remaining phase of the project is expected to be approximately US$700 million.

SANDS CHINA LTD. Interim Report 2014
We have commenced construction activities on The Parisian Macao, our integrated resort development on Parcel 3, but stopped
in June 2014, pending receipt of certain government approvals, which management has been informed are scheduled to be
issued in October 2014. In the meantime, the Company is working to accelerate the permit approval process and, as with
projects of this nature, will continue to analyze options for both a full and phased opening of the facility in 2015. We have
capitalized costs of US$595.9 million, including land, as at June 30, 2014. The Parisian Macao is targeted to open in late 2015
and we expect the cost to design, develop and construct The Parisian Macao will be approximately US$2.7 billion, inclusive of
land premium payments.
These investment plans are preliminary and subject to change based upon the execution of our business plan, the progress of
our capital projects, market conditions and the outlook on future business conditions.

2. MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
2.7 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND RISK FACTORS
The Group has contingent liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. Management has made estimates for potential
litigation costs based upon consultation with legal counsel. Actual results could differ from these estimates; however, in the
opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Under the land concession for The Parisian Macao, we are required to complete the development by April 2016. The land
concession for Sands Cotai Central contains a similar requirement, which was extended by the Macao Government in April
2014, that the development be completed by December 2016. Should we determine that we are unable to complete The
Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central by their respective deadlines, we would expect to apply for another extension from the
Macao Government. If we are unable to meet the current deadlines and the deadlines for either development are not extended,
we could lose our land concessions for The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central, which would prohibit us from operating any
facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, the Group could record a charge for all or some portion
of the US$595.9 million or US$4.37 billion in capitalized construction costs including land, as at June 30, 2014, related to The
Parisian Macao and Sands Cotai Central, respectively.
2.8 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s primary objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in
order to provide returns for Shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately
with the level of risk.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings
as shown in note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), cash and cash equivalents, and equity attributable to
Shareholders, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain the net debt-to-capital ratio (gearing
ratio) at an appropriate level based on its assessment of the current risk and circumstances. This ratio is calculated as net debt
divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as interest bearing borrowings, net of deferred financing costs, less cash and cash
equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the consolidated balance
sheet, plus net debt.

SANDS CHINA LTD. Interim Report 2014
The increase in the gearing ratio during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to dividend payments of US$2.60 billion.
2.9 FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The Group’s foreign currency transactions are mainly denominated in US$. The majority of assets and liabilities are denominated in US$, HK$ and MOP. The Group is subject to foreign exchange rate risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than MOP, which is the functional currency of major operating companies within the Group. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy.
2.10 BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Our business strategy is to continue to successfully execute our Cotai Strip developments and to leverage our integrated resort business model to create Asia’s premier gaming, leisure and convention destination. The Company continues to execute on the strategies outlined in our 2013 Annual Report. These strategies have proven to be successful in the first half of 2014 and we are confident they will continue to be successful into the future.
Sands Cotai Central
Sands Cotai Central is located across the street from The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao. It is our largest integrated resort on Cotai. Sands Cotai Central consists of three hotel towers including 636 five-star rooms and suites under the Conrad brand, 1,224 four-star rooms and suites under the Holiday Inn brand and 3,863 rooms and suites under the Sheraton brand. In April 2012, we opened the Conrad and Holiday Inn tower, a variety of retail offerings, approximately 350,000 square feet of meeting space, several food and beverage establishments, along with the Himalaya casino and VIP gaming areas. In September 2012, we opened the first Sheraton tower featuring 1,796 rooms and suites, the Pacifica casino and additional retail, entertainment, dining and meeting facilities. In January 2013, we opened the second Sheraton tower featuring an additional 2,067 rooms and suites.
We have begun construction activities on the remaining phase of the project, which will include a fourth hotel and mixed-use tower, located on parcel 5, under the St. Regis brand. The total cost to complete the remaining phase of the project is expected to be approximately US$700 million.
The Parisian Macao
The Parisian Macao, which is currently expected to open in late 2015, is intended to include a gaming area (to be operated under our gaming subconcession), a hotel with over 3,000 rooms and suites and retail, entertainment, dining and meeting facilities. We expect the cost to design, develop and construct The Parisian Macao to be approximately US$2.7 billion, inclusive of land premium payments. We have commenced construction activities, but stopped in June 2014, pending receipt of certain government approvals, which management has been informed are scheduled to be issued in October 2014. In the meantime, the Company is working to accelerate the permit approval process and, as with projects of this nature, will continue to analyze options for both a full and phased opening of the facility in 2015. We have capitalized construction costs of US$595.9 million for The Parisian Macao, including land, as at June 30, 2014.

3.3 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
Good corporate governance underpins the creation of Shareholder value and maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance is a core responsibility of the Board. An effective system of corporate governance requires that our Board approves strategic direction, monitors performance, oversees effective risk management and leads the creation of the right culture across the organization. It also gives our investors confidence that we are exercising our stewardship responsibilities with due skill and care.
To ensure that we adhere to high standards of corporate governance, we have developed our own corporate governance principles and guidelines that set out how corporate governance operates in practice within the Company. This is based on the policies, principles and practices set out in the Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) contained in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules and draws on other best practices.
The Board is of the view that throughout the six months ended June 30, 2014, save as disclosed below, the Company fully complied with all the code provisions and certain recommended best practices set out in the Code.
Code Provision E.1.2
Under code provision E.1.2 of the Code, the Chairman of the Board should attend the annual general meeting of the Company. The Chairman of the Board was absent from the Company’s annual general meeting held on May 30, 2014 due to other business commitments.
3.4 MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company has developed its own securities trading code for securities transactions (the “Company Code”) by the Directors and relevant employees who are likely to be in possession of unpublished inside information of the Company on terms no less exacting than the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers as set out in Appendix 10 of the Listing Rules (the “Model Code”). Following specific enquiry by the Company, all Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the Company Code and, therefore, with the Model Code throughout the six months ended June 30, 2014 and to the date of this Interim Report.
3.5 BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEES COMPOSITION
Mr. Jeffrey Howard Schwartz resigned as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with effect from May 30, 2014. Mr. Irwin Abe Siegel and Mr. Lau Wong William did not offer themselves for re-election as Non-Executive Directors of the Company at the annual general meeting of the Company on May 30, 2014.
Mr. Charles Daniel Forman and Mr. Robert Glen Goldstein were elected as Non-Executive Directors of the Company at the annual general meeting held on May 30, 2014.

3. CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Notes:
1. The exercise price of the share options is determined upon the offer of grant of the options and which should not be less than the higher of (a) the closing price per share of the Company on the date of offer of such options, which must be a business day; (b) the average closing price per share of the Company for the five business days immediately preceding the date of offer of such options; and (c) the nominal value per share of the Company.
2. The proportion of underlying shares in respect of which the above outstanding share options will vest is as follows:
Proportion of underlying shares in respect of which the above outstanding share options will vest is as follows:
Before the first anniversary of the date of grant of the option (the “Offer Anniversary”) From the first Offer Anniversary to the date immediately before the second Offer Anniversary From the second Offer Anniversary to the date immediately before the third Offer Anniversary From the third Offer Anniversary to the date immediately before the fourth Offer Anniversary From the fourth Offer Anniversary and thereafter
None
One-quarter
Two-quarters
Three-quarters
All
3. On January 24, 2014, the Board declared a Special Dividend of HK$0.77 per share (the “Special Dividend”) payable to Shareholders of the Company whose names appeared on the register of members of the Company on February 14, 2014. Pursuant to the Equity Award Plan, as a result of the Special Dividend, an equitable adjustment of the exercise price of the outstanding share options granted under the Equity Award Plan as at February 14, 2014 was made.
When the options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized in share-based compensation reserve will be transferred to retained earnings.
The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014, measured as at the date of grant, was approximately US$3.52.
Significant estimates and assumptions are required to be made in determining the parameters for applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, including estimates and assumptions regarding the risk-free rate of return, expected dividend yield and volatility of the underlying shares and the expected life of the options. These estimates and assumptions could have a material effect on the determination of the fair value of the share options and the amount of such equity awards expected to vest, which may in turn significantly impact the determination of the share-based compensation expense. The following assumptions were used to derive the fair values of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014:
Weighted average volatility Expected term (in years) Risk-free rate Expected dividends
65.5%
6.3
1.3%
3.0%

4.1 REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SANDS CHINA LTD.
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Sands China Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 29 to 56, which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2014 and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Main Board Listing Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34. 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 International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. 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 International 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.
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 accordance with IAS 34.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Listing Rules. They should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial assets that are measured at fair value.
Except as described below, the accounting policies adopted and methods of computation used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are consistent with those adopted and as described in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
During the period, there have been a number of new interpretation and amendments to standards that have come into effect, which the Group has adopted at their respective effective dates. The adoption of these new interpretation and amendments to standards had no material impact on the results of operations and financial position of the Group.
The Group has not early adopted the new or revised standards, amendments and interpretation that have been issued, but are not yet effective for the period. The Group has already commenced the assessment of the impact of the new or revised standards, amendments and interpretation to the Group, but is not yet in a position to state whether these would have a significant impact on the results of operations and financial position of the Group.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no changes in any risk management policies since year-end 2013.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by a group of senior management to make strategic decisions. The Group considers the business from a property and service perspective.
The Group’s principal operating and developmental activities occur in Macao, which is the sole geographic area in which the Group is domiciled. The Group reviews the results of operations for each of its key operating segments, which are also the reportable segments: The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Plaza Macao, Sands Macao and ferry and other operations. The Group’s primary projects under development are The Parisian Macao, the St. Regis tower (the remaining phase of Sands Cotai Central) and the Four Seasons apart-hotel.

8. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONTINUED)
The Company’s subsidiaries that carry on business in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax rate at 16.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (six months ended June 30, 2013: same). Taxation for overseas jurisdictions is charged at the appropriate prevailing rates ruling in the respective jurisdictions. The maximum rate is 12% for Macao (six months ended June 30, 2013: same) and 25% for China (six months ended June 30, 2013: same).
Pursuant to the Despatch No. 250/2004 issued by the Chief Executive of Macao on September 30, 2004, Venetian Macau Limited (“VML”) was exempt from Macao complementary tax on its gaming activities for five years effective from the tax year 2004 to the tax year 2008. On May 21, 2008, VML was granted, pursuant to the Despatch No. 167/2008 issued by the Chief Executive of Macao, an extension of the tax exemption regarding Macao complementary tax on its gaming activities for an additional five years, effective from the tax year 2009 to the tax year 2013. On October 3, 2013, VML was granted, pursuant to the Despatch No. 320/2013 issued by the Chief Executive of Macao, an extension of the tax exemption regarding Macao complementary tax on its gaming activities for an additional five years, effective from the tax year 2014 to the tax year 2018. Regarding the other subsidiaries, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, Macao complementary tax is calculated progressively at a maximum of 12% of the estimated assessable profit (six months ended June 30, 2013: same).
VML entered into a Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement with the Macao Government. The agreement provided for an annual payment in lieu of Macao complementary tax otherwise due by VML’s shareholders on dividend distributions to them from gaming profits, effective through the end of 2013. In May 2014, VML entered into another Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement with Macao Government for an extension of the agreement through 2018 to correspond to the Macao complementary tax exemption on its gaming activities.
9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company has outstanding share options and restricted share units that will potentially dilute the ordinary shares.

Trade receivables mainly consist of casino receivables. The Group extends credit to approved casino customers following background checks and investigations of creditworthiness. Credit is granted to certain Gaming Promoters on a revolving basis. All Gaming Promoter credit lines are generally subject to monthly review and regular settlement procedures to evaluate the current status of liquidity and financial health of these Gaming Promoters. Credit is granted based on the performance and financial background of the Gaming Promoter and, if applicable, the Gaming Promoter’s guarantor. The receivables from Gaming Promoters can be offset against the commissions payable and front money deposits made by the Gaming Promoters. Absent special approval, the credit period granted to selected premium and mass market players is typically 7–15 days, while for Gaming Promoters, the receivable is typically repayable within one month following the granting of the credit subject to terms of the relevant credit agreement. The Group generally does not charge interest for credit granted, but requires a personal check or other acceptable forms of security.
As at June 30, 2014, included in trade receivables after provision for doubtful accounts are casino receivables of US$548.3 million (as at December 31, 2013: US$612.9 million). There is a concentration of credit risk related to net casino receivables as 50.7% (as at December 31, 2013: 44.2%) of the casino receivables as at June 30, 2014 were from the top five customers. Other than casino receivables, there is no other concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables as the Group has a large number of customers. The Group believes that the concentration of its credit risk in casino receivables is mitigated substantially by its credit evaluation process, credit policies, credit control and collection procedures, and also believes that no significant credit risk is inherent in the Group’s trade receivables not provided for as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
The Group maintains an allowance for doubtful casino, mall and hotel accounts and regularly evaluates the balances. The Group specifically analyzes the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer’s financial condition, collection history and any other known information, and the Group makes an allowance for trade receivables specifically identified as doubtful. The Group also monitors regional and global economic conditions and forecasts in its evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded allowances.

SANDS CHINA LTD. Interim Report 2014
15. BORROWINGS (CONTINUED) 2011 VML Credit Facility
During March 2014, the Group amended its 2011 VML Credit Facility to, among other things, modify certain financial covenants, as discussed further below. In addition to the amendment, certain lenders extended the maturity of US$2.39 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2011 VML Term Facility to March 31, 2020 (the “Extended 2011 VML Term Facility”), and, together with new lenders, provided US$2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of revolving loan commitments (the “Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility”). A portion of the revolving proceeds was used to pay down the US$819.7 million in aggregate principal balance of the 2011 VML Term Facility loans that were not extended. The Group recorded an US$18.0 million loss on modification or early retirement of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2014, in connection with the pay down and extension. Borrowings under the Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility are being used to fund the development, construction and completion of Sands Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao, and for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. As at June 30, 2014, the Group had US$1.18 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility.
Commencing with the quarterly period ending June 30, 2017, and at the end of each subsequent quarter through March 31, 2018, the 2011 VML Credit Facility, as amended, requires the borrower to repay the outstanding Extended 2011 VML Term Facility on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding as at March 31, 2014 (the “Restatement Date”). Commencing with the quarterly period ending on June 30, 2018, and at the end of each subsequent quarter through March 31, 2019, the borrower is required to repay the outstanding Extended 2011 VML Term Facility on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to 5.0% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding as at the Restatement Date. For the quarterly periods ending on June 30 and December 31, 2019, the borrower is required to repay the outstanding Extended 2011 VML Term Facility on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to 12.0% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding as at the Restatement Date. The remaining balance on the Extended 2011 VML Term Facility is due on the maturity date. The Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility has no interim amortization payments and matures on March 31, 2020.
Borrowings for all loans bear interest, as amended, at the Group’s option, at either the adjusted Eurodollar rate or Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) rate plus a credit spread or an alternative base rate plus a credit spread, which credit spread in each case is determined based on the maximum leverage ratio as set forth in the credit facility agreement, as amended. The credit spread for the Extended 2011 VML Term and Revolving Facilities ranges from 0.25% to 1.125% per annum for loans accruing interest at the base rate and from 1.25% to 2.125% per annum for loans accruing interest at an adjusted Eurodollar or HIBOR rate. On the Restatement Date, the credit spread for the Extended 2011 VML Term and Revolving Facilities was 0.375% per annum for loans accruing interest at the base rate and 1.375% per annum for loans accruing interest at the adjusted Eurodollar or HIBOR rate.
Among other amendments, the consolidated capital expenditures covenant was removed and the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the amended credit facility agreement) was modified. The maximum leverage ratio, as amended, is 4.5:1.0 for the quarterly periods ending June 30, 2014 through September 30, 2015, decreases to 4.0:1.0 for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2015 through March 31, 2017, then decreases to, and remains at, 3.5:1.0 for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity.

(c) Litigation
The Group has contingent liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. Management has made estimates for potential litigation costs based upon consultation with legal counsel. Actual results could differ from these estimates; however, in the opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
(d) Cotai Strip development projects
Under the land concession for The Parisian Macao, the Group is required to complete the development by April 2016. The land concession for Sands Cotai Central contains a similar requirement, which was extended by the Macao Government in April 2014, that the development be completed by December 2016. Should the Group determine that it is unable to complete The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central by their respective deadlines, the Group would expect to apply for another extension from the Macao Government. If the Group is unable to meet the current deadlines and the deadlines for either development are not extended, the Group could lose its land concessions for The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central, which would prohibit the Group from operating any facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, the Group could record a charge for all or some portion of the US$595.9 million or US$4.37 billion in capitalized construction costs including land, as at June 30, 2014, related to The Parisian Macao and Sands Cotai Central, respectively.
