These condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Authority's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the condensed balance sheet of Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority as of September 30, 1996, and the related cash flow for the year then ended (not presented herein), and, in our report dated November 27, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority as of September 30, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP Hartford, Connecticut May 2, 1997 PART I.

The accompanying accountants' review report and notes to financial statements should be read in conjunction with these financial statements 6 MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED) Basis of Presentation: The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the "Authority"), established on July 15, 1995, is an instrumentality of the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the "Tribe"). The Authority commenced operation of the gaming and entertainment facility (the "Mohegan Sun") on October 12, 1996. Prior to October 12, 1996, the Authority was classified as a Development Stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Authority has engaged Trading Cove Associates ("TCA") to manage the development, construction and operation of the Mohegan Sun. TCA is 50% owned by Sun Cove Ltd., an affiliate of Sun International Hotels Limited ("Sun International"), and 50% owned by Waterford Gaming, LLC. The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Authority's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements which appear in that report. The condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 1996, contained herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Form 10-K and applicable under generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of the Authority, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included. The results reflected in the condensed financial statements for the second quarter of 1997 are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year, as the casino industry in Connecticut is seasonal in nature. The Authority's operation of a casino in Connecticut is subject to significant regulatory controls which affect virtually all of its operations. 2. Long-Term Debt: Long-term debt consists of the following: March 31, September 30, 1997 1996 --------- ------------- (000's) (000's) Senior Secured Notes (A) $175,000 $175,000 Subordinated Notes (B) 90,000 67,000 Lines of Credit (working capital) (C) 6,806 4,749 Equipment Financing (D) 35,111 - Other - 1,250 -------- -------- 306,917 247,999 Less - Current Maturities 15,210 4,999 -------- -------- $291,707 $243,000 -------- -------- -------- -------- 7 MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED) 2. Long-Term Debt continued: A. On September 29, 1995, the Authority issued $175 million in Senior Secured Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes") with fixed interest payable at a rate of 13.50% per annum and Cash Flow Participation Interest, as defined, in an aggregate amount of 5.0% of the Authority's Cash Flow up to a limit, during any two consecutive semi-annual periods, ending September 30, of $250 million of the Authority's Cash Flow. Fixed interest is payable semi-annually and commenced May 15, 1996. The aggregate amount of Cash Flow Participation Interest payable will be reduced pro rata for reductions in outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes. The payment of Cash Flow Participation Interest may be deferred if the Authority's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 2 to 1. The Senior Notes are redeemable at set prices as set forth in the Senior Notes after November 15, 1999, at the option of the Authority. Upon the occurrence of certain events (as specified in the Indenture for the Senior Notes) each holder of Senior Notes can require the Authority to repurchase the notes at prices specified in the Senior Notes. Beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, the Authority will be required, under certain circumstances, to offer to purchase, at set prices, certain amounts of Senior Notes then outstanding. B. The Authority has obtained $90.0 million of subordinated financing from Sun International and Waterford Gaming LLC in the form of notes. The Authority has issued $20.0 million of subordinated notes to each of Sun International and Waterford Gaming LLC (Subordinated Notes), which notes bear interest at 15.0% per year, payable semi-annually. Interest on the Subordinated Notes is being deferred and will not be paid until at least half of the Senior Notes have been retired (or offered to be retired, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Senior Notes) and certain other conditions have been fulfilled. The Authority also has issued $50.0 million in subordinated notes to Sun International evidencing draws made by the Authority under the $50.0 million secured completion guarantee provided by Sun International (Secured Completion Guarantee). Each subordinated note issued under the Secured Completion Guarantee will bear interest at the rate per annum then most recently announced by Chemical Bank of New York as its prime rate plus 1%, which shall be set and revised at intervals of six months. All such notes are due 2003; however, principal cannot be paid until the Senior Notes have been paid in full, unless certain conditions are met. C. The Authority has obtained two lines of credit totaling $13.2 million. The line of credit for $12.5 million, obtained from Fleet National Bank, provides for interest based on various floating indexes (9.50% as of March 31, 1997). The second line of credit for $650,000 was obtained from Norwich Savings Society and bears interest at a rate of 7.75%. As of March 31, 1997, $6.8 million was outstanding under both lines of credit. 8 MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED) 2. Long-Term Debt continued: These amounts were used for working capital purposes. D. The Authority has received gaming equipment financing of $23.0 million from CIT-Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. ("CIT Group"). The terms of this agreement provide that borrowings bear interest of 2% over prime, commencing from the date of delivery of the equipment. Principal payments will be over 48 months and commenced December 1996. The Authority has received equipment financing of $9.0 million from the CIT Group and Phoenixcor, Inc. ("Phoenixcor"). The CIT Group agreement provides for funding of $5.0 million with an interest rate of 9.17%. Principal payments will be over 48 months and commenced December 1996. The Phoenixcor agreement provides for funding of $4.0 million with an interest rate of 8.95%. Principal payments will be over 48 months and commenced December 1996. The Authority has received equipment financing of $5.1 million from PDS Financial Corporation. The terms of this agreement provide that borrowings bear interest of 12%. Principal payments will be over 48 months and commenced January 1997. The Authority received working capital financing of $500,000 from New Horizon Kids Quest IV, Inc. The terms consist of an interest rate of 2% over prime. Principal payments will be over 36 months, which commenced October 1996. 3. Operating Leases: The Authority has entered into numerous operating leases, the most significant of which are as follows: The PDS Financial Corporation has two operating leases for equipment with the Authority. The proceeds of the first agreement are $10.4 million with a fixed monthly payment of $253,000. The lease payments will be over 48 months and commenced October 1996. The proceeds of the second lease agreement are $4.1 million with a fixed monthly payment of $95,000. The lease payments will be over 48 months and commenced November 1996. 9 MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED) 3. Operating Leases continued: The third agreement with Pitney Bowes Credit Corp. provided proceeds of $4.0 million with a fixed monthly payment of $112,000. The lease payments will be over 42 months and commenced January 1997. The fourth agreement with New England Capital Corporation provided proceeds of $1.5 million with a fixed monthly payment of $42,000. The lease payments will be over 48 months and commenced March 1997. 4. Commitments: The Tribe's Compact with the State of Connecticut stipulates that a portion of the revenues earned on slot machines must be paid to the State of Connecticut ("Slot Win contribution"). For each twelve-month period commencing July 1, 1995, the minimum contribution of the Tribe to the State of Connecticut shall be the lesser of (a) 30% of gross revenues from slot machines, or (b) the greater of (i) 25% of gross revenues from slot machines or (ii) $80,000,000. These payments will not be required if the State of Connecticut legalizes any other gaming operations with slot machines to be operated in the State of Connecticut (other than on certain Indian lands). The Authority has reflected $35,189,000 of gaming expense in its financial statements for the required Slot Win Contribution payments to the State of Connecticut for the fiscal period ended March 31, 1997. Slot Win Contribution payments to the State of Connecticut for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, totaled $23,288,000. 5. Related Party Transactions: The Tribe provided Governmental and Administrative services to the Authority in conjunction with the operation of Mohegan Sun. For the period October 12, 1996 through March 31, 1997, the Authority incurred $2,934,000 of expense for such services of which $2,925,000 was paid. The Authority's second quarter services incurred to the Tribe totaled $1,563,000 of which $1,554,000 was paid as of March 31, 1997. In addition, the Tribe, through two of its limited liability companies, has entered into various land lease agreements with the Authority. Amounts paid by the Authority under these lease agreements to the limited liability companies was $2,456,116 for the fiscal period ended March 31, 1997. The Authority paid, under the lease agreements to the limited liability companies, $1,554,116 for the second quarter ended March 31, 1997. 10 ITEM 2 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES, CAPITAL SPENDING AND LIQUIDITY The Mohegan Sun commenced operations on October 12, 1996. During the period from October 12 through March 31, 1997, cash provided by operations was $57,883,000. On November 15, 1996, Mohegan Sun made an interest payment of $11,813,000 to the holders of the Senior Notes. This interest payment consisted of $9,304,000, which was funded from the Authority's pre-opening construction account (funds available before operations commenced on October 12, 1996) and $2,509,000 which was funded from the operational cash flow. The Authority historically has funded its operations through the issuance of debt. On September 29, 1995, the Authority issued $175 million in principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes") with fixed interest payable at a rate of 13.5% per annum and participation interest equal to 5.0% of the Authority's cash flow up to a limit, during any two consecutive semi-annual periods ending on September 30, of $250 million of the Authority's cash flow. Fixed interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The Senior Notes are redeemable after November 15, 1999, at the option of the Authority, at prices set forth in the Senior Notes. Upon the occurrence of certain events (as specified in the Indenture for the Senior Notes), each holder of Senior Notes can require the Authority to repurchase the Notes at prices specified in the Senior Notes. Beginning with the current fiscal year, the Authority will be required, under certain circumstances, to offer to purchase, at set prices, certain amounts of Senior Notes then outstanding. The Indenture governing the Senior Notes contains certain convenants restricting the Authority's ability to, among other things, make certain cash payments, incur liens or additional indebtedness, sell assets, lease property, enter into transactions with affiliates or effect any merger, consolidation or any transfer or sale of substantially all of its assets. The Authority believes it currently is in compliance with all of the convenants and restrictions contained in the Indenture. On September 29, 1995, the Authority had issued $40.0 million of subordinated notes (the "Subordinated Notes") to Sun International. Subsequent to issuance, Sun International resold fifty-percent of the Subordinated Notes, with a principal amount equal to $20.0 million, to Waterford Gaming, LLC. The Subordinated Notes bear interest at 15% per year, payable semi-annually, and are due in 2003; however, principal cannot be paid until the Senior Notes have been paid in full, unless certain conditions are met. Interest on the Subordinated Notes is being deferred and will not be paid until at least half of the Senior Notes have been retired (or offered to be retired, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Senior Notes) and certain other conditions have been fulfilled. 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES, CAPITAL SPENDING AND LIQUIDITY continued The Authority's capital spending associated with the development of the facility totaled $65,781,000 for the period from October 12, 1996, through March 31, 1997. Including land and capitalized interest, the Mohegan Sun is expected to cost approximately $305 million. As of March 31, 1997, the Authority had incurred expenditures of approximately $299.8 million with the development of the facility. The Authority may not obligate itself to pay development costs in excess of $325 million without the further consent of the National Indian Gaming Commission (the "NIGC"). In the event final development costs exceed $325 million, the Authority would require additional consent of the NIGC, and there can be no assurances such consent would be given. Based upon its review of the budget and the open cost items, the Authority believes that the total cost of developing, constructing, equipping and opening the Mohegan Sun will not exceed the sum of the proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes, amounts available under the Secured Completion Guarantee, the Equipment Financing and the Working Capital Financing and cash flow from operations. However, there is no assurance that such costs will not exceed budgeted amounts. Of the Authority's total capital spending, capital expenditures for post-opening enhancement projects at the facility totaled $3,640,000 for the period from October 12, 1996, through March 31, 1997. Capital spending will increase over the remaining two quarters of the fiscal year. The additional expenditures will represent capital projects at the facility, that in the Authority's opinion, will further enhance the guest's experience at the facility. The Authority believes that borrowings under its existing financing agreements and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund its currently planned capital expenditures. The Authority has a $12.5 million line of credit which expires on September 24, 1997. Borrowings under this line bear interest at various rates. As of March 31, 1997, approximately $6.2 million was outstanding under this line at an interest rate of 9.25%. The Authority also has a $650,000 line of credit which expires on July 31, 1997. As of March 31, 1997, approximately $650,000 was outstanding under this line at an interest rate of 7.75%. The funds were used for the initial working capital needs in conjunction with the opening of the facility. 12 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES, CAPITAL SPENDING AND LIQUIDITY continued The Authority entered into $37.7 million of equipment leasing arrangements with several finance companies, under varying terms. As of March 31, 1997, the Authority had outstanding borrowings under these arrangements of $21.4 million, at an interest rate of 2% over prime; $4.6 million, at an interest rate of 9.17%; $3.7 million, at an interest rate of 8.95%; $4.9 million at an interest rate of 12.0% and $500,000 at an interest rate of 2% over prime and $2.6 million of other various leases. All of such amounts are being repaid by the Authority over the 48 months commencing with December 1996. The Authority, for the quarter ending March 31, 1997, borrowed the final $8 million, for a total of $50.0 million, which was available under the Secured Completion Guarantee to fund construction development costs associated with the completion of the facility. The Authority believes that existing cash balances and operating cash flow will provide the Authority with sufficient resources to meet its existing debt obligations and capital expenditure requirements. However, the ability of the Authority to meet its debt service requirements will be entirely dependent upon the completion and future successful performance of the Mohegan Sun, which is subject to financial, economic, political, competitive, and other factors, many of which are beyond the Authority's control. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Form 10-Q filed by the Authority with the Securities and Exchange Commission contains statements that are forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future expansion and other business development activities, ability to meet existing debt obligations, as well as other capital spending, financing sources and the effects of regulation (including gaming and tax regulation) and competition. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Authority. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to development and construction activities, dependence on existing management, leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates), competition for gaming patrons in the northeastern United States domestic or global economic conditions, changes in federal tax laws or the administration of such laws and changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in certain jurisdictions). 13 Operating Results for the Three Months Ending March 31, 1997- Operating Revenues and Expenses: Mohegan Sun has 150,000 square feet of gaming space, 2,680 slot machines and 181 gaming tables, dining, entertainment, and retail shopping. The facility had 5,260 employees as of March 31, 1997. Mohegan Sun is approximately a two hour drive from New York City and Boston. Gaming revenues were $107,016,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1997. The second quarter reflects 90 days of gaming activity. Slot revenues were $73,180,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1997 and reflects a win per unit per day of $304 for the second quarter. Table game revenues were $33,836,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1997. Other revenues were $15,115,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1997. Other revenues primarily represent revenues from food and beverage and retail operations.
