-- Steady contribution from mainland China residential business
-- Profit attributable to shareholders enhanced by gain on property revaluations
"While the performance from the Group's commercial portfolio is
expected to remain stable for the full year, earnings from the
residential business are likely to be lower as an improved

# The Group uses 'underlying profit attributable to shareholders'
in its internal financial reporting to distinguish between
ongoing business performance and non-trading items, as more
fully described in note 8 to the condensed financial statements.
Management considers this to be a key measure which provides
additional information to enhance understanding of the Group's
underlying business performance.
* At 31st December 2015
The interim dividend of USc6.00 per share will be payable on
12th October 2016 to shareholders on the register of members at the
close of business on 19th August 2016.
HONGKONG LAND HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2016
OVERVIEW
The Group's commercial portfolio provided a stable contribution
as it benefited from lower levels of vacancy. In the residential
sector, while profits from mainland China remained steady, there
was a reduced contribution from Singapore.
PERFORMANCE
During the first half of the year, the Group's underlying profit
attributable to shareholders was US$393 million, compared with
US$419 million in 2015. The profit attributable to shareholders was
US$1,263 million after accounting for a net gain of US$870 million
arising on the valuation of the Group's investment properties. This
compares with a profit of US$513 million in 2015, after a valuation
net gain of US$94 million.
The net asset value per share at 30th June 2016 was US$12.64,
compared to US$12.19 at 31st December 2015.
The Directors have declared an unchanged interim dividend of
USc6.00 per share.
GROUP REVIEW
Commercial Property
In Hong Kong, low office vacancy levels continued to support the
market. Vacancy in the Group's Central office portfolio at 30th
June 2016 was 3.1%, compared with 3.4% at the end of 2015. Office
rental reversions were positive, and the Group's average office
rent rose to HK$103 per sq. ft, compared to HK$101 per sq. ft in
both the first and second halves of 2015. The Group's Central
retail portfolio remains fully occupied and the base rental
reversions continued to be positive. Lower turnover rent, however,
led to the average retail rent reducing to HK$216 per sq. ft,
compared with HK$219 per sq. ft and HK$223 per sq. ft in the first
and second halves of 2015, respectively.
In Singapore, vacancy in the Group's office portfolio had
reduced to 1.0% at 30th June 2016 from 3.0% at the end of 2015 as
previously committed space was taken up during the period.
In Beijing, the Group's luxury retail complex, WF CENTRAL at
Wangfujing, is scheduled to open in the first half of 2017.
In Jakarta, work is continuing on the fifth tower at Jakarta
Land, the Group's 50%-owned joint venture, which is on schedule for
completion in 2018.
Residential Property
In the first six months of the year, the Group's attributable
interest in contracted sales in mainland China was US$432 million,
compared to US$328 million and US$474 million in the first and
second halves of 2015, respectively. At 30th June 2016, the Group
had US$885 million in sold but unrecognised contracted sales,
compared with US$821 million at the end of 2015.
In Singapore, there were no projects completed in the first half
of 2016, while two projects had been completed in the first half of
2015. The J Gateway project, which has been fully sold, is on
schedule for completion in the second half of this year. Pre-sales
continue at the LakeVille and Sol Acres projects, which are
scheduled for completion in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Of the Group's other residential developments, in Indonesia,
work is progressing well on the 49%-owned joint venture project,
Nava Park, and the 40%-owned joint venture project, Anandamaya
Residences. Construction is also continuing in the Philippines at
the 40%-owned joint venture project, Two Roxas Triangle, in Manila,
and pre-selling has commenced at the 40%-owned joint venture,
Mandani Bay, in Cebu.
Financing
The Group's financial position remained strong with net debt of
US$2.3 billion at 30th June 2016, unchanged from the end of 2015.
Gearing was 8%, unchanged from the end of last year.
PEOPLE
Y.K. Pang is stepping down as Chief Executive on 31st July 2016,
while remaining a Director of the Group, and will be succeeded by
Robert Wong. John Witt stepped down as Chief Financial Officer on
31st March 2016 and was replaced on 28th April by Simon Dixon. We
were saddened by the death of Lord Leach in June 2016. He made a
significant contribution to the Group and his wise counsel will be
greatly missed.
OUTLOOK
While the performance from the Group's commercial portfolio is
expected to remain stable for the full year, earnings from the
residential business are likely to be lower as an improved
contribution from mainland China will be more than offset by lower
contributions elsewhere.

Fair value estimation
(i) Financial instruments that are measured at fair value
For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the
balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements are
disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement
hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities ('quoted prices in active markets')
The fair value of listed securities, which are classified as
available-for-sale, is based on quoted prices in active markets at
the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for listed
investments held by the Group is the current bid price.
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly ('observable current market transactions')
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are
determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance
sheet date. The rates for interest rate swaps and forward foreign
exchange contracts are calculated by reference to market interest
rates and foreign exchange rates.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six
months ended 30th June 2016 and the year ended 31st December
2015.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair
value at 30th June 2016 and 31st December 2015, by the levels in
the fair value measurement hierarchy:

There were no transfers among the two categories during the six
months ended 30th June 2016 and the year ended 31st December
2015.
(ii) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value
The fair values of current debtors, bank balances, current
creditors and current borrowings are assumed to approximate their
carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these assets
and liabilities.
The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market
prices or are estimated using the expected future payments
discounted at market interest rates.
13. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Total capital commitments at 30th June 2016 and 31st December
2015 amounted to US$473.2 million and US$502.9 million,

the Directors are of the opinion that adequate provisions have been
made in the condensed financial statements.
