MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority d/b/a Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was established by the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Mohegan Tribe”) in July 1995. We have the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Mohegan Tribe on tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. The Mohegan Tribe is a sovereign Indian nation with independent legal jurisdiction over its people and land.

We are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of integrated entertainment facilities. We currently own two facilities in the United States and operate five facilities in the United States and Canada. We are also currently developing a facility in South Korea, the Inspire Entertainment Resort located adjacent to the Incheon International Airport (“Inspire Korea”).

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic and the United States federal government declared it a national emergency. The spread of COVID-19 has affected most segments of the global economy, including our operations. In March 2020, we temporarily suspended operations at our properties in the United States and Canada to ensure the health and safety of our employees, guests and the surrounding communities in which we operate, consistent with directives from various governmental bodies. All of our properties in the United States were reopened by July 2020. Our properties in Canada reopened in July 2021, but were temporarily closed again from January 5, 2022 through January 30, 2022, due to a resurgence of COVID-19.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our operations, the full extent of which depends on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Such developments include the following:

•the duration of COVID-19 or the extent of any resurgence or variants of COVID-19;

•the manner in which our guests, suppliers and other third parties respond to COVID-19, including the perception of safety and health measures we implemented;

•new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain or treat it;

•general economic conditions; and

•consumer confidence.

Accordingly, we cannot reasonably estimate the extent to which COVID-19 will further impact our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We could experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, charges from further adjustments to the carrying value of our intangible assets, as well as other long-lived asset impairment charges. Actual results may differ materially from our current estimates as the scope of COVID-19 evolves, depending largely, but not exclusively, on the duration and extent of our business disruptions.

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 of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full fiscal year or any other period, particularly given the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above.

MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

(unaudited)

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.

Inspire Korea

The initial phase of Inspire Korea primarily consists of an integrated entertainment resort. Design and construction work was temporarily paused in September 2020 while we were in the process of securing the necessary financing for the project, which was completed in November 2021 (see Note 2). During this temporary pause in construction, Inspire Korea obtained approval to modify its development plan and adjust the timing of a future sub-phase of this initial phase of the project.

On December 27, 2021, Inspire Korea elected to terminate a licensing arrangement for a previously-planned sub-phase and discontinue related design work. As a result, we recognized an intangible asset impairment of $12.9 million related to the licensing arrangement and a tangible asset impairment of $17.7 million on the related construction in progress.

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 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.

Inspire Korea Financing

Inspire Korea Credit Facility

On September 24, 2021, Inspire Korea entered into a loan agreement providing for a loan commitment of up to 1.04 trillion Korean won (“KRW”) in two tranches (the “Inspire Korea Credit Facility”), comprised of a 740.0 billion KRW credit facility (the “Tranche A Facility”) and a 300.0 billion KRW credit facility (the “Tranche B Facility”). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility is being used to pay for the construction, operation, financial and other project costs in connection with Inspire Korea (see Note 1). All obligations under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all assets of, and equity interests in, Inspire Korea (subject to certain exceptions and limitations). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility matures 48 months after the date of the first draw, which was November 29, 2021.

Inspire Korea Credit Facility Summary
	September 30, 2021				March 31, 2022
	Total Capacity				Outstanding Borrowings (Face Value)
(in millions)	KRW		USD		KRW		USD
Tranche A Facility	₩	740,000.0	$	625.1	₩	222,000.0	$	183.1
Tranche B Facility	₩	300,000.0	$	253.4	₩	90,000.0	$	74.3
Total	₩	1,040,000.0	$	878.5	₩	312,000.0	$	257.4

Mandatory prepayments are required under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility in connection with certain specified asset dispositions or receipt of insurance proceeds, without a prepayment fee. The Inspire Korea Credit Facility may not be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part until one year after the date of the first draw. After such date, any voluntary prepayment requires a prepayment fee as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement.

Loans outstanding under the Tranche A Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% per annum or a floating rate equal to the sum of a base rate and an applicable margin (as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement). Loans outstanding under the Tranche B Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum or a floating rate equal to the sum of a base rate and

(unaudited)

an applicable margin (as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility includes an interest reserve whereby a portion of loan proceeds is reserved for payment of interest. Interest on Tranche A Facility loans is fully reserved and interest on Tranche B Facility loans is reserved for 36 months. If any portion of the Inspire Korea Credit Facility is undrawn, Inspire Korea is required to pay a 0.3% commitment fee on the undrawn amount.

The Inspire Korea Credit Facility contains certain customary covenants applicable to Inspire Korea, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, investments, mergers or consolidations, asset sales, acquisitions of assets, the payment of dividends and other distributions and affiliate transactions. In addition, the Inspire Korea Credit Facility includes other covenants, representations and warranties and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this type.

In connection with the Inspire Korea Credit Facility, the Company entered into a credit enhancement support agreement to provide up to $100.0 million credit enhancement support for Inspire Korea’s payment of principal, interest and other sums due under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility.

The Company incurred $59.1 million in costs in connection with this transaction during fiscal 2022. These debt issuance costs were reflected as a debt discount and are being amortized over the term of the Inspire Korea Credit Facility using the effective interest method.

MGE Korea Term Loan

On November 4, 2021, MGE Korea Limited (“MGE Korea”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and parent company of Inspire Korea, entered into a $275.0 million secured term loan facility agreement (the “MGE Korea Term Loan”). MGE Korea received funding from the MGE Korea Term Loan on November 24, 2021 (the “Utilisation Date”). The MGE Korea Term Loan was primarily used to make a capital contribution to Inspire Korea in order to partially fund construction-related costs for Inspire Korea. The MGE Korea Term Loan matures 66 months after the Utilisation Date.

The MGE Korea Term Loan bears payment-in-kind interest at a rate of 17.0% per annum, to be compounded and capitalized at the end of each quarter, or paid in cash if so elected by MGE Korea.

If the MGE Korea Term Loan is voluntarily prepaid, if certain mandatory prepayment events are triggered or if it is repaid following a notice of acceleration, MGE Korea must pay a prepayment fee (as defined in the MGE Korea Term Loan agreement). The MGE Korea Term Loan is secured by a fixed charge over 100% of MGE Korea’s share capital and a debenture over the assets of MGE Korea (subject to certain exceptions and limitations).

The MGE Korea Term Loan contains certain customary covenants, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, disposals, acquisitions and investments, arm’s length transactions, mergers and the development and management of Inspire Korea. In addition, the MGE Korea Term Loan includes financial maintenance covenants pertaining to net leverage and debt service coverage of MGE Korea and Inspire Korea, and contains a requirement that Inspire Korea maintain a minimum cash balance in the amounts set forth in the MGE Korea Term Loan. The MGE Korea Term Loan also contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make payments, breach of covenants and breach of representations.

The Company incurred $10.0 million in costs in connection with the MGE Korea Term Loan during fiscal 2022. These debt issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the MGE Korea Term Loan. In addition, the allocation of proceeds to the issuance of warrants and associated put option (see below) resulted in an original issue discount on the MGE Korea Term Loan of $84.8 million, which will also be amortized over the term of the MGE Korea Term Loan using the effective interest method.

MGE Korea Warrant Agreement

In connection with the MGE Korea Term Loan, on November 4, 2021, MGE Korea Holding III Limited (“MGE Korea Holding III”), the parent company of MGE Korea, entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) to issue detachable warrants (the “Warrants”). The Warrants can be converted into up to a total of 4,400 shares of capital in MGE Korea Holding III at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share. At the time of issuance, the Warrants represented 22.0% of the fully-diluted share capital of MGE Korea Holding III.

The Warrants are generally exercisable at any time after the third anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2024) until the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031), but may be exercised earlier upon certain triggering events defined in the Warrant Agreement. Upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031) and (ii) the consummation of an Exit Event (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), all unexercised Warrants will expire.

11

(unaudited)

Warrant holders do not have any rights held by holders of shares in the capital of MGE Korea Holding III to vote or to receive dividends and other distributions (other than as set forth in the Warrant Agreement). Warrant holders and shareholders of MGE Korea Holding III have certain preemptive rights in relation to any proposed issuance of equity securities by MGE Korea Holding III or certain affiliates (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), subject to customary exceptions.

Holders of unexercised Warrants have the right to require the parent of MGE Korea Holding III (the “Parent”) to purchase all of the unexercised Warrants that they hold at certain relevant times (the “Put Option”). In turn, the Parent has the right to require the holders of unexercised Warrants to sell all of the unexercised Warrants they hold at certain relevant times (the “Call Option”). Both the Put Option and the Call Option are exercisable at any time in the period from (and including) the date six years and six months after the Utilisation Date (May 2028) until the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031). The aggregate cash purchase price for both the Put Option and the Call Option equals the higher of: (i) the fair market value of the relevant unexercised Warrants and (ii) $110.0 million, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the relevant unexercised Warrants and the denominator of which is the total number of Warrants.

The Warrants and the Put Option are classified as long-term liabilities and are re-measured at their estimated fair values at each reporting date. The estimated fair value of the Warrants and the Put Option was determined by utilizing the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and a binomial lattice model. This valuation approach utilized Level 3 inputs. The primary unobservable inputs utilized were the discount rate, which was 10.5%, and the expected volatility of the underlying stock price, which was 50.0%.

Debt issuance costs incurred during fiscal 2022 and allocated to the Warrants and the Put Option totaling $4.2 million were expensed on the Utilisation Date and recorded within Corporate costs and expenses.

Contract and Contract-related Liabilities

A difference may exist between the timing of cash receipts from patrons and the recognition of revenues, resulting in a contract or contract-related liability. In general, the Company has three types of such liabilities: (1) outstanding gaming chips and slot tickets liability, which represents amounts owed in exchange for outstanding gaming chips and slot tickets held by patrons, (2) loyalty points deferred revenue liability and (3) patron advances and other liability, which primarily represents funds deposited in advance by patrons for gaming and advance payments by patrons for goods and services such as advance ticket sales, deposits on rooms and convention space and gift card purchases. These liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenues within one year and are recorded within other current liabilities.

As of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, customer contract liabilities related to Mohegan Sun Pocono's revenue sharing agreement with Unibet Interactive Inc. totaled $15.0 million and $15.8 million, respectively, and were primarily recorded within other long-term liabilities.

Note 4 — Segment Reporting

The Company, either directly or through subsidiaries, operates Mohegan Sun, along with its other Connecticut operations (the “Connecticut Facilities”), Mohegan Sun Pocono, along with its other Pennsylvania operations (the “Pennsylvania Facilities”) and the MGE Niagara Resorts. Certain other properties that are managed or under development by the Company are identified as the management, development and other reportable segment.

The Company's chief operating decision maker currently reviews and assesses the performance and operating results and determines the proper allocation of resources to the Connecticut Facilities, the Pennsylvania Facilities, the MGE Niagara Resorts and the properties managed or under development on a separate basis. Accordingly, the Company has four separate reportable segments: (i) Mohegan Sun, which includes the operations of the Connecticut Facilities, (ii) Mohegan Sun Pocono, which includes the operations of the Pennsylvania Facilities, (iii) the MGE Niagara Resorts and (iv) management, development and other. Certain other gaming and entertainment operations (“all other”), which are not individually reportable segments, the Company's corporate functions and inter-segment activities are each disclosed separately in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a defendant in various claims and legal actions resulting from its normal course of business, primarily relating to personal injuries to patrons and damages to patrons' personal assets. The Company estimates litigation claims expense and accrues for such liabilities based upon historical experience. In management's opinion, the aggregate liability, if any, arising from such legal actions will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

See “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment was established by the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Mohegan Tribe”) in July 1995. We have the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Mohegan Tribe on tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. The Mohegan Tribe is a sovereign Indian nation with independent legal jurisdiction over its people and land.

We are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of integrated entertainment facilities. We currently own two facilities in the United States and operate five facilities in the United States and Canada. We are also currently developing a facility in South Korea, the Inspire Entertainment Resort located adjacent to the Incheon International Airport (“Inspire Korea”).

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic and the United States federal government declared it a national emergency. The spread of COVID-19 has affected most segments of the global economy, including our operations. In March 2020, we temporarily suspended operations at our properties in the United States and Canada to ensure the health and safety of our employees, guests and the surrounding communities in which we operate, consistent with directives from various governmental bodies. All of our properties in the United States were reopened by July 2020. Our properties in Canada reopened in July 2021, but were temporarily closed again from January 5, 2022 through January 30, 2022 due to a resurgence of COVID-19.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our operations, the full extent of which depends on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Such developments include the following:

•the duration of COVID-19 or the extent of any resurgence or variants of COVID-19;

•the manner in which our guests, suppliers and other third parties respond to COVID-19, including the perception of safety and health measures we implemented;

•new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain or treat it;

•general economic conditions; and

•consumer confidence.

Accordingly, we cannot reasonably estimate the extent to which COVID-19 will further impact our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We could experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, charges from further adjustments to the carrying value of our intangible assets, as well as other long-lived asset impairment charges. Actual results may differ materially from our current estimates as the scope of COVID-19 evolves, depending largely, but not exclusively, on the duration and extent of our business disruptions.

16

Discussion of Consolidated Operating Results

The most significant factors and trends that impacted our operating and financial performance were as follows:

•full periods of operations at most of our properties;

•a return to relatively normal operating conditions at most of our properties;

•a temporary resurgence of COVID-19 during January 2022;

•higher interest expense; and

•impairment charges related to Inspire Korea.

Mohegan Sun

Revenues

Net revenues increased $26.5 million, or 14.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Net revenues increased $112.1 million, or 31.6%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The growth in net revenues was due to increased non-gaming revenues, combined with higher slot and table game revenues. In general, these results were driven by strong overall business volumes reflecting a return to relatively normal operating conditions compared with the same periods in the prior year, which were negatively impacted by various COVID-19 restrictions. Overall non-gaming revenues also benefited from a full entertainment calendar compared with the same periods in the prior year in which the Mohegan Sun Arena was closed due to COVID-19. Slot revenues increased principally due to higher slot handle, while the growth in table game revenues reflected higher hold percentage. Net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by a temporary resurgence of COVID-19 during January 2022.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses increased $33.6 million, or 24.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Operating costs and expenses increased $84.8 million, or 30.7%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. These increases primarily reflected higher overall operating costs and expenses commensurate with the increases in net revenues and return to relatively normal operating conditions, including increased payroll costs, cost of goods sold, slot win contribution and direct entertainment expenses, as well as higher costs related to utilities and certain other administrative services.

Mohegan Sun Pocono

Revenues

Net revenues increased $9.8 million, or 18.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Net revenues increased $35.9 million, or 39.7%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The growth in net revenues was primarily due to higher slot revenues driven by increased slot handle, as well as higher non-gaming revenues. In general, these results were driven by strong overall business volumes reflecting a return to relatively normal operating conditions compared to the same periods in the prior year, which were negatively impacted by various COVID-19 restrictions and the temporary closure of Mohegan Sun Pocono from December 12, 2020, through January 3, 2021. Net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by a temporary resurgence of COVID-19 during January 2022.

18

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses increased $6.0 million, or 13.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Operating costs and expenses increased $22.0 million, or 26.6%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. These increases primarily reflected higher Pennsylvania slot machine tax expenses driven by the increases in slot revenues, combined with higher overall operating costs and expenses commensurate with the return to relatively normal operating conditions.

MGE Niagara Resorts

Revenues

Net revenues increased $38.4 million, or 278.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Net revenues increased $88.3 million, or 329.2%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. These results reflect relatively full periods of operations compared with the same periods in the prior year. The MGE Niagara Resorts were temporarily closed effective March 18, 2020, following the outbreak of COVID-19, and reopened on July 23, 2021 under various COVID-19 related restrictions. The MGE Niagara Resorts were temporarily closed again from January 5, 2022, through January 30, 2022, due to a resurgence of COVID-19 at that time. Net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 primarily reflect fixed service provider fees pursuant to the terms of our Casino Operating and Services Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses increased $24.4 million, or 97.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Operating costs and expenses increased $54.9 million, or 108.4%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. These increases primarily reflected higher operating costs and expenses commensurate with the growth in net revenues, combined with higher overall costs and expenses associated with relatively full periods of operations.

Management, Development and Other

Revenues

Net revenues decreased $4.7 million, or 23.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Net revenues decreased $4.1 million, or 12.2%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The declines in net revenues were primarily driven by lower management fees from ilani Casino Resort.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses decreased $8.0 million, or 53.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily reflected lower pre-opening costs and expenses related to Inspire Korea. Operating costs and expenses increased $28.7 million, or 109.9%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. As described in Note 1, the increase in operating costs and expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by $30.5 million in impairment charges related to Inspire Korea.

All Other

Revenues

Net revenues totaled $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net revenues totaled $23.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022. These results represent revenues generated by Mohegan Sun Las Vegas, which opened in March 2021, and our online casino gaming and sports wagering operations, which launched in October 2021.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses totaled $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Operating costs and expenses totaled $23.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022.

Net revenues decreased $2.4 million, or 86.1%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The declines in net revenues reflected the impact of non-recurring revenues generated by our construction group in the same periods in the prior year.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 8.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. This decrease primarily reflected the impact of non-recurring construction related expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased $2.1 million, or 11.5%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the

19

same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by higher payroll costs, as well as higher costs related to certain other administrative services.

N.M. - Not Meaningful.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $9.8 million, or 23.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. Interest expense increased $12.8 million, or 15.1%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by $5.7 million and $9.7 million in capitalized interest related to the Inspire Korea construction during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The increases in interest expense were due to higher weighted average interest rate and weighted average outstanding debt. See Note 2 for additional information.

Loss on Modification and Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on modification and early extinguishment of debt represents transaction costs expensed in connection with our January 2021 refinancing transactions.

Loss on Fair Value Adjustment

Loss on fair value adjustment is driven by changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants and put option related to Inspire Korea. See Note 2 for additional information.

Income Tax

Income tax benefit or provision is primarily driven by taxable losses incurred or taxable income generated by the MGE Niagara Resorts.

Seasonality

The gaming markets in the Northeastern United States and Niagara Falls, Canada, are seasonal in nature, with peak gaming activities often occurring during the months of May through August. Accordingly, our operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for other interim periods or an entire fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we held cash and cash equivalents of $167.7 million and $149.8 million, respectively, of which MGE Niagara Resorts held $26.8 million and $25.1 million, respectively. As a result of the cash-based nature of our business, operating cash flow levels tend to follow trends in our operating income, excluding the effects of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability, we had $220.8 million of borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility and line of credit as of March 31, 2022. In addition, inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability, the MGE Niagara Resorts had $103.7 million of borrowing capacity under the MGE Niagara revolving facility and MGE Niagara swingline facility as of March 31, 2022.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $62.1 million, or 92.4%, to $129.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with $67.2 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven by higher net income, after factoring in non-cash items, reflecting a return to relatively normal operating conditions at our properties. See “Discussion of Consolidated Operating Results” for additional information.

20

Cash used in investing activities increased $117.8 million, or 331.6%, to $153.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with $35.5 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by higher capital expenditures related to Inspire Korea.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $409.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared with cash used in financing activities of $25.0 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by additional borrowings to fund the development of Inspire Korea.

Sufficiency of Resources

We believe that existing cash balances, financing arrangements and operating cash flows will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our existing debt obligations, finance and right-of-use operating lease obligations, distributions to the Mohegan Tribe, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next twelve months; however, we can provide no assurance in this regard.

Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated future results, and accordingly, such results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to the following:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. As of March 31, 2022, our primary exposure to market risk was interest rate risk associated with our credit facilities which accrued interest on the basis of base rate, Eurodollar rate and Bankers’ Acceptance rate formulas, plus applicable rates, as defined under the credit facilities. Based on our variable rate outstanding debt as of March 31, 2022, a 100 basis point change in average interest rate would impact annual interest expense by approximately $2.6 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

Third Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of April 1, 2022, among Mohegan Expo Center, LLC (the “Guarantor”), the Authority (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein), the Tribe (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to herein (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS the Authority has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of October 14, 2016 providing for the issuance of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Authority’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:

1.    Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2.    Indenture Provision Pursuant to Which Guarantee is Given. This Supplemental Indenture is being executed and delivered pursuant to Section 4.20 of the Indenture.

3.    Agreement to Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

(a)    The Guarantor, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, if any, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that:

(i)    the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Authority to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder, under the Notes or under the Indenture will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii)    in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately, in each case to the extent lawful.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this Guarantee would constitute or result in a violation of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or similar law of any relevant jurisdiction, the liability of the Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee shall be limited to such amount as will not, after giving effect thereto, and to all other liabilities of the Guarantor, result in such amount constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(i)    The Guarantor shall have the right to seek contribution from any other nonpaying Guarantor, if any, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture.

2

(j)    The Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture or this Guarantee; and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority d/b/a Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was established by the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Mohegan Tribe”) in July 1995. We have the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Mohegan Tribe on tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. The Mohegan Tribe is a sovereign Indian nation with independent legal jurisdiction over its people and land.

We are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of integrated entertainment facilities. We currently own two facilities in the United States and operate five facilities in the United States and Canada. We are also currently developing a facility in South Korea, the Inspire Entertainment Resort located adjacent to the Incheon International Airport (“Inspire Korea”).

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic and the United States federal government declared it a national emergency. The spread of COVID-19 has affected most segments of the global economy, including our operations. In March 2020, we temporarily suspended operations at our properties in the United States and Canada to ensure the health and safety of our employees, guests and the surrounding communities in which we operate, consistent with directives from various governmental bodies. All of our properties in the United States were reopened by July 2020. Our properties in Canada reopened in July 2021, but were temporarily closed again from January 5, 2022 through January 30, 2022, due to a resurgence of COVID-19.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our operations, the full extent of which depends on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Such developments include the following:

•the duration of COVID-19 or the extent of any resurgence or variants of COVID-19;

•the manner in which our guests, suppliers and other third parties respond to COVID-19, including the perception of safety and health measures we implemented;

•new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain or treat it;

•general economic conditions; and

•consumer confidence.

Accordingly, we cannot reasonably estimate the extent to which COVID-19 will further impact our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We could experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, charges from further adjustments to the carrying value of our intangible assets, as well as other long-lived asset impairment charges. Actual results may differ materially from our current estimates as the scope of COVID-19 evolves, depending largely, but not exclusively, on the duration and extent of our business disruptions.

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 of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full fiscal year or any other period, 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.

Inspire Korea

The initial phase of Inspire Korea primarily consists of an integrated entertainment resort. Design and construction work was temporarily paused in September 2020 while we were in the process of securing the necessary financing for the project, which was completed in November 2021 (see Note 2). During this temporary pause in construction, Inspire Korea obtained approval to modify its development plan and adjust the timing of a future sub-phase of this initial phase of the project.

On December 27, 2021, Inspire Korea elected to terminate a licensing arrangement for a previously-planned sub-phase and discontinue related design work. As a result, we recognized an intangible asset impairment of $12.9 million related to the licensing arrangement and a tangible asset impairment of $17.7 million on the related construction in progress.

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 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.

Inspire Korea Financing

Inspire Korea Credit Facility

On September 24, 2021, Inspire Korea entered into a loan agreement providing for a loan commitment of up to 1.04 trillion Korean won (“KRW”) in two tranches (the “Inspire Korea Credit Facility”), comprised of a 740.0 billion KRW credit facility (the “Tranche A Facility”) and a 300.0 billion KRW credit facility (the “Tranche B Facility”). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility is being used to pay for the construction, operation, financial and other project costs in connection with Inspire Korea (see Note 1). All obligations under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all assets of, and equity interests in, Inspire Korea (subject to certain exceptions and limitations). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility matures 48 months after the date of the first draw, which was November 29, 2021.

Inspire Korea Credit Facility Summary
	September 30, 2021				March 31, 2022
	Total Capacity				Outstanding Borrowings (Face Value)
(in millions)	KRW		USD		KRW		USD
Tranche A Facility	₩	740,000.0	$	625.1	₩	222,000.0	$	183.1
Tranche B Facility	₩	300,000.0	$	253.4	₩	90,000.0	$	74.3
Total	₩	1,040,000.0	$	878.5	₩	312,000.0	$	257.4

Mandatory prepayments are required under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility in connection with certain specified asset dispositions or receipt of insurance proceeds, without a prepayment fee. The Inspire Korea Credit Facility may not be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part until one year after the date of the first draw. After such date, any voluntary prepayment requires a prepayment fee as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement.

Loans outstanding under the Tranche A Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% per annum or a floating rate equal to the sum of a base rate and an applicable margin (as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement). Loans outstanding under the Tranche B Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum or a floating rate equal to the sum of a base rate and

an applicable margin (as defined in the Inspire Korea Credit Facility agreement). The Inspire Korea Credit Facility includes an interest reserve whereby a portion of loan proceeds is reserved for payment of interest. Interest on Tranche A Facility loans is fully reserved and interest on Tranche B Facility loans is reserved for 36 months. If any portion of the Inspire Korea Credit Facility is undrawn, Inspire Korea is required to pay a 0.3% commitment fee on the undrawn amount.

The Inspire Korea Credit Facility contains certain customary covenants applicable to Inspire Korea, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, investments, mergers or consolidations, asset sales, acquisitions of assets, the payment of dividends and other distributions and affiliate transactions. In addition, the Inspire Korea Credit Facility includes other covenants, representations and warranties and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this type.

In connection with the Inspire Korea Credit Facility, the Company entered into a credit enhancement support agreement to provide up to $100.0 million credit enhancement support for Inspire Korea’s payment of principal, interest and other sums due under the Inspire Korea Credit Facility.

The Company incurred $59.1 million in costs in connection with this transaction during fiscal 2022. These debt issuance costs were reflected as a debt discount and are being amortized over the term of the Inspire Korea Credit Facility using the effective interest method.

MGE Korea Term Loan

On November 4, 2021, MGE Korea Limited (“MGE Korea”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and parent company of Inspire Korea, entered into a $275.0 million secured term loan facility agreement (the “MGE Korea Term Loan”). MGE Korea received funding from the MGE Korea Term Loan on November 24, 2021 (the “Utilisation Date”). The MGE Korea Term Loan was primarily used to make a capital contribution to Inspire Korea in order to partially fund construction-related costs for Inspire Korea. The MGE Korea Term Loan matures 66 months after the Utilisation Date.

The MGE Korea Term Loan bears payment-in-kind interest at a rate of 17.0% per annum, to be compounded and capitalized at the end of each quarter, or paid in cash if so elected by MGE Korea.

If the MGE Korea Term Loan is voluntarily prepaid, if certain mandatory prepayment events are triggered or if it is repaid following a notice of acceleration, MGE Korea must pay a prepayment fee (as defined in the MGE Korea Term Loan agreement). The MGE Korea Term Loan is secured by a fixed charge over 100% of MGE Korea’s share capital and a debenture over the assets of MGE Korea (subject to certain exceptions and limitations).

The MGE Korea Term Loan contains certain customary covenants, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, disposals, acquisitions and investments, arm’s length transactions, mergers and the development and management of Inspire Korea. In addition, the MGE Korea Term Loan includes financial maintenance covenants pertaining to net leverage and debt service coverage of MGE Korea and Inspire Korea, and contains a requirement that Inspire Korea maintain a minimum cash balance in the amounts set forth in the MGE Korea Term Loan. The MGE Korea Term Loan also contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make payments, breach of covenants and breach of representations.

The Company incurred $10.0 million in costs in connection with the MGE Korea Term Loan during fiscal 2022. These debt issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the MGE Korea Term Loan. In addition, the allocation of proceeds to the issuance of warrants and associated put option (see below) resulted in an original issue discount on the MGE Korea Term Loan of $84.8 million, which will also be amortized over the term of the MGE Korea Term Loan using the effective interest method.

MGE Korea Warrant Agreement

In connection with the MGE Korea Term Loan, on November 4, 2021, MGE Korea Holding III Limited (“MGE Korea Holding III”), the parent company of MGE Korea, entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) to issue detachable warrants (the “Warrants”). The Warrants can be converted into up to a total of 4,400 shares of capital in MGE Korea Holding III at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share. At the time of issuance, the Warrants represented 22.0% of the fully-diluted share capital of MGE Korea Holding III.

The Warrants are generally exercisable at any time after the third anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2024) until the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031), but may be exercised earlier upon certain triggering events defined in the Warrant Agreement. Upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031) and (ii) the consummation of an Exit Event (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), all unexercised Warrants will expire.

Warrant holders do not have any rights held by holders of shares in the capital of MGE Korea Holding III to vote or to receive dividends and other distributions (other than as set forth in the Warrant Agreement). Warrant holders and shareholders of MGE Korea Holding III have certain preemptive rights in relation to any proposed issuance of equity securities by MGE Korea Holding III or certain affiliates (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), subject to customary exceptions.

Holders of unexercised Warrants have the right to require the parent of MGE Korea Holding III (the “Parent”) to purchase all of the unexercised Warrants that they hold at certain relevant times (the “Put Option”). In turn, the Parent has the right to require the holders of unexercised Warrants to sell all of the unexercised Warrants they hold at certain relevant times (the “Call Option”). Both the Put Option and the Call Option are exercisable at any time in the period from (and including) the date six years and six months after the Utilisation Date (May 2028) until the tenth anniversary of the Utilisation Date (November 2031). The aggregate cash purchase price for both the Put Option and the Call Option equals the higher of: (i) the fair market value of the relevant unexercised Warrants and (ii) $110.0 million, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the relevant unexercised Warrants and the denominator of which is the total number of Warrants.

The Warrants and the Put Option are classified as long-term liabilities and are re-measured at their estimated fair values at each reporting date. The estimated fair value of the Warrants and the Put Option was determined by utilizing the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and a binomial lattice model. This valuation approach utilized Level 3 inputs. The primary unobservable inputs utilized were the discount rate, which was 10.5%, and the expected volatility of the underlying stock price, which was 50.0%.

Debt issuance costs incurred during fiscal 2022 and allocated to the Warrants and the Put Option totaling $4.2 million were expensed on the Utilisation Date and recorded within Corporate costs and expenses.

A difference may exist between the timing of cash receipts from patrons and the recognition of revenues, resulting in a contract or contract-related liability. In general, the Company has three types of such liabilities: (1) outstanding gaming chips and slot tickets liability, which represents amounts owed in exchange for outstanding gaming chips and slot tickets held by patrons, (2) loyalty points deferred revenue liability and (3) patron advances and other liability, which primarily represents funds deposited in advance by patrons for gaming and advance payments by patrons for goods and services such as advance ticket sales, deposits on rooms and convention space and gift card purchases. These liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenues within one year and are recorded within other current liabilities.

Segment Reporting

The Company, either directly or through subsidiaries, operates Mohegan Sun, along with its other Connecticut operations (the “Connecticut Facilities”), Mohegan Sun Pocono, along with its other Pennsylvania operations (the “Pennsylvania Facilities”) and the MGE Niagara Resorts. Certain other properties that are managed or under development by the Company are identified as the management, development and other reportable segment.

The Company's chief operating decision maker currently reviews and assesses the performance and operating results and determines the proper allocation of resources to the Connecticut Facilities, the Pennsylvania Facilities, the MGE Niagara Resorts and the properties managed or under development on a separate basis. Accordingly, the Company has four separate reportable segments: (i) Mohegan Sun, which includes the operations of the Connecticut Facilities, (ii) Mohegan Sun Pocono, which includes the operations of the Pennsylvania Facilities, (iii) the MGE Niagara Resorts and (iv) management, development and other. Certain other gaming and entertainment operations (“all other”), which are not individually reportable segments, the Company's corporate functions and inter-segment activities are each disclosed separately in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results.

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 of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full fiscal year or any other period, 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

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 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.
