In the six months ended June 30, 2017, goodwill of $5,500,000 was recognized on the acquisition of Cap Juluca. See Note 3.

In the three months ended June 30, 2017, Belmond considered whether increased competition and the fall in tourist arrivals in Myanmar indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of Belmond Governor’s Residence was less than its carrying value. While Belmond concluded that there was no impairment trigger in the current quarter, it is carefully monitoring the situation. The impairment test remains sensitive to changes in assumptions; factors that could reasonably be expected to potentially have an adverse effect on the fair value of the reporting unit include the future operating projections of the hotel, volatility in debt or equity markets that could result in changes to the discount rate, political instability, changes in future travel patterns or local competitive supply. Any failure to meet these assumptions may result in a future impairment of goodwill.
