Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 10-01, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. All adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our operating results for the interim period, have been included.

Our results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 are not indicative of operating results expected for the entire fiscal year, particularly given the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

Similar to other sovereign governments, the Mohegan Tribe and its entities, including the Company, are not subject to United States federal income taxes. However, certain of our non-tribal entities are subject to income taxes in various state and local jurisdictions within the United States and in Canada.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2019-12

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. This new standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASU 2019-12 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. There was no effect on the Company’s financial statements from adopting this new standard.

ASU 2020-06

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current guidance. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact.

ASU 2021-10

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance” (“ASU 2021-10”), which requires business entities to provide certain disclosures about government transactions that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. ASU 2021-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2021-10 will have on its disclosures.
