NOTES 1. Basis of preparation

Portico International Holdings Limited (formerly known as Ports Design Limited) ("the Company") is a company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability. Pursuant to the resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting on 29 May 2015, the name of the Company has been changed from Ports Design Limited to Portico International Holdings Limited, with effect from 4 June 2015. The interim financial report of the Company for the six months ended
30 June 2015 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
This interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, including compliance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). It was authorised for issue on 28 August 2015.
The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2014 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2015 annual financial statements. Details of these changes in accounting policies are set out in note 2.
The preparation of an interim financial report in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The interim financial report contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2014 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The interim financial report is unaudited, but has been reviewed by KPMG 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 ("HKICPA").
The financial information relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2014 that is included in the interim financial report as comparative information does not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that financial year but is derived from those financial statements. Statutory financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2014 are available from the Company's registered office. The auditors have
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated 31 March
2015.

2. Changes in accounting policies

The IASB has issued the following amendments to IFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company.
 Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle
 Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle
None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

3. Segment reporting

The Group manages its businesses by business lines. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has identified the following one reportable segment.
 Retail: this segment primarily derives revenue from retail sales in the People's Republic of China ("the PRC"). The products are either sourced externally or are manufactured in the Group's manufacturing facilities located in the PRC.

(a) Segment result and assets

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group's senior executive management monitors the results and assets attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:
Segment assets represent inventories only.
Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments.
The measure used for reporting segment profit is gross profit less distribution costs directly attributable to the segment.

(i) Pursuant to the rules and regulations of Bermuda, the Company is not subject to any income tax in Bermuda. Also, certain subsidiaries located in British Virgin Islands and Samoa Islands are not subject to any income tax in their local jurisdictions.
(ii) No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made during the six months ended 30
June 2015 and 2014 as the subsidiaries in Hong Kong did not earn any assessable income for Hong Kong Profits tax purpose.
(iii) All PRC subsidiaries are subject to income tax rate at 25% for the six months ended 30
June 2015 and 2014 under the Enterprise Income Tax law ("EIT law") which was
enacted on 16 March 2007.
Pursuant to the EIT Law, 10% withholding tax is levied on the foreign investor (foreign investors which are registered in Hong Kong and meet certain requirements specified in the relevant tax regulations in the PRC may be entitled to a preferential 5% rate), in respect of dividend distributions arising from profit earned by a foreign investment enterprise in the PRC after 1 January 2008. As at 30 June 2015, deferred tax liabilities of RMB 98,342 thousand (31 December 2014: 96,430 thousand) have not been recognised in respect of the tax that would be payable on the distribution of the retained profits of the Group's PRC subsidiaries as the Company controls the dividend policy of these subsidiaries and it has been determined that it is probable that these profits earned by the Group's subsidiaries in the PRC will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

7. Earnings per share (a) Basic earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2015 is based on the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB 16,280 thousand (2014: RMB 54,965 thousand) and the weighted average number of
554,453,492 (2014: 554,453,492) ordinary shares in issue during the period.

(b) Diluted earnings per share

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2015 is based on the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB 16,280 thousand (2014: RMB 54,965 thousand) and the weighted average number of
554,453,492 (2014: 554,453,492) ordinary shares in issue.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share amount for the six months period ended
30 June 2014 did not include the potential effect of the deemed issue of shares under
the Company's share option scheme for nil consideration into ordinary shares as it had
an anti-dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share amount during the period.
As disclosed in note 14, no share option was outstanding and exercisable as at 30 June
2015. No dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share amount during the six months period ended 30 June 2015.
