6 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Cotai Development The Group is currently constructing Wynn Palace, a full-scale integrated resort containing a 1,700- room hotel, performance lake, meeting space, casino, spa, retail offerings and food and beverage outlets. The project budget is approximately HK$31 billion including construction costs, capitalized interest, preopening expenses, land costs and fi nancing fees. The Company continues to remain on schedule for an opening in the fi rst half of 2016. On 29 July 2013, WRM and Palo fi nalized and executed a guaranteed maximum price construction (“GMP”) contract with Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited, acting as the general contractor. Under the GMP contract, the general contractor is responsible for both the construction and design of the Wynn Palace project. The general contractor is obligated to substantially complete the project in the fi rst half of 2016 for a guaranteed maximum price of HK$20 billion (approximately US$2.57 billion). An early completion bonus for achievement of substantial completion on or before 25 January 2016 will be paid to the general contractor if certain conditions are satisfi ed under the GMP contract. Both the contract time and guaranteed maximum price are subject to further adjustment under certain specifi ed conditions. The performance of the general contractor is backed by a full completion guarantee given by Leighton Holdings Limited, the parent company of the general contractor, as well as a performance bond for 5% of the guaranteed maximum price. Macau Macau, which was a territory under Portuguese administration for approximately 450 years, was transferred from Portuguese to Chinese political control in December 1999. Macau is governed as a special administrative region of China and is located approximately 37 miles southwest of, and approximately one hour away via ferry from, Hong Kong. Macau, which has been a casino destination for more than 50 years, consists principally of a peninsula on mainland China, and two neighboring islands, Taipa and Coloane between which the Cotai area is located. We believe that Macau is located in one of the world’s largest concentrations of potential customers. According to Macau Statistical Information, casinos in Macau, the largest gaming market in the world, generated approximately HK$350.2 billion in gaming revenue during the year ended 31 December 2013, an increase of approximately 18.6% over the approximate HK$295.3 billion generated in the year ended 31 December 2012. FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Tourism The levels of tourism and overall gaming activities in Macau are key drivers of our business. Both the Macau gaming market and visitation to Macau have grown signifi cantly in the last few years with tourist arrivals to Macau increasing by 4% in 2013 as compared to 2012. We have benefi ted from the rise in visitation to Macau over the past several years.


 
7Annual Report 2013 Management Discussion and Analysis Macau’s gaming market is primarily dependent on tourists. Tourist arrivals were 29.3 million in 2013 compared to 28.0 million in 2012. The Macau market has experienced tremendous growth in capacity since the opening of Wynn Macau. As at 31 December 2013, there were 27,764 hotel rooms, 5,750 table games and 13,106 slots in Macau, compared to 12,978 hotel rooms, 2,762 table games and 6,546 slots as at 31 December 2006. Gaming customers traveling to Macau typically come from nearby destinations in Asia including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Malaysia. According to the Macau Statistics and Census Service Monthly Bulletin of Statistics, approximately 90% of visitors to Macau for the year ended 31 December 2013 were from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Tourism levels in Macau are affected by a number of factors, all of which are beyond our control. Key factors affecting tourism levels in Macau may include, among others: Prevailing economic conditions in mainland China and Asia; Various countries’ policies on currency restrictions and the issuance of travel visas that may be in place from time to time; Competition from other destinations which offer gaming and leisure activities; Occurrence of natural disasters and disruption of travel; and Possible outbreaks of infectious disease. Economic and Operating Environment Our operating environment remained stable in 2013. However, economic conditions can have a signifi cant impact on our business. A number of factors, including a slowdown in the global economy, contracting credit markets, reduced consumer spending, various countries’ policies that affect travel to Macau and any outbreak of infectious diseases can negatively impact the gaming industry in Macau and our business. Competition Since the liberalization of Macau’s gaming industry in 2002, there has been a signifi cant increase in the number of casino properties in Macau. There are six gaming operators in Macau, including WRM. The three concessionaires are WRM, SJM, and Galaxy. The three subconcessionaires are Melco Crown, MGM Macau, and Venetian Macau. As at 31 December 2013, there were approximately 35 casinos in Macau, including 20 operated by SJM. Each of the current six operators has operating casinos and expansion plans announced or underway.


 
8 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Wynn Macau also faces competition from casinos located in other areas of Asia, such as Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands, in Singapore, and Resorts World Genting, located outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Wynn Macau also faces competition from casinos in the Philippines where Solaire Resort and Casino opened in 2013 and several other major casino resorts are scheduled to open over the next few years. Wynn Macau also encounters competition from other major gaming centers located around the world, including Australia and Las Vegas, cruise ships in Asia that offer gaming, and other casinos throughout Asia. Further, if current efforts to legalize gaming in other Asian countries are successful, Wynn Macau will face additional regional competition. Gaming Promoters A signifi cant amount of our casino play is brought to us by gaming promoters. Gaming promoters have historically played a critical role in the Macau gaming market and are important to our casino business. Gaming promoters introduce premium VIP players to Wynn Macau and often assist those players with their travel and entertainment arrangements. In addition, gaming promoters often grant credit to their players. In exchange for their services, Wynn Macau generally pays the gaming promoters a commission which is a percentage of the gross gaming win generated by each gaming promoter. Approximately 80% of these commissions are netted against casino revenues, because such commissions approximate the amount of the commission returned to the VIP players by the gaming promoters, and approximately 20% of these commissions are included in other operating expenses, which approximate the amount of the commission ultimately retained by the gaming promoters as compensation. The total amount of commissions paid to gaming promoters and netted against casino revenues was HK$8.3 billion and HK$7.5 billion for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively. Commissions increased 9.7% for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to the year ended 31 December 2012 as VIP gross table games win increased due to increased business volumes and a higher win percentage.


 
9Annual Report 2013 Management Discussion and Analysis We typically advance commissions to gaming promoters at the beginning of each month to facilitate their working capital requirements. These advances are provided to a gaming promoter and are offset by the commissions earned by such gaming promoter during the applicable month. The aggregate amounts of exposure to our gaming promoters, which is the difference between commissions advanced to each individual gaming promoter, and the commissions payable to each such gaming promoter, were HK$500.9 million and HK$646.5 million as at 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively. At the end of each month, any commissions outstanding are cleared no later than the fi fth business day of the succeeding month and prior to the advancement of any further funds. We believe we have developed strong relationships with our gaming promoters. Our commission percentages have remained stable throughout our operating history. In addition to commissions, gaming promoters each receive a monthly complimentary allowance based on a percentage of the turnover its clients generate. The allowance is available for room, food and beverage and other products and services for discretionary use with the gaming promoter’s clients. Premium Credit Play We selectively extend credit to our VIP players contingent upon our marketing team’s knowledge of the players, their fi nancial background and payment history. We follow a series of credit procedures and require various signed documents from each credit recipient that are intended to ensure, among other things that, if permitted by applicable law, the debt can be legally enforced in the jurisdiction where the player resides. In the event the player does not reside in a jurisdiction where gaming debts are legally enforceable, we can attempt to assert jurisdiction over assets the player maintains in jurisdictions where gaming debts are recognized. In addition, we typically require a check in the amount of the applicable credit line from credit players, collateralizing the credit we grant. Number and Mix of Table Games and Slot Machines The mix of VIP table games, mass table games and slot machines in operation at our resort changes from time to time as a result of marketing and operating strategies in response to changing market demand and industry competition. The shift in the mix of our games affects casino profi tability.


 
10 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis ADJUSTED EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before fi nance costs, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other, share-based payments, corporate expenses, and other non- operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because our Directors believe that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA presented herein also differs from the Adjusted EBITDA presented by Wynn Resorts, Limited for its Macau segment in its fi lings with the SEC, primarily due to the inclusion of royalty fees, adjustments for IFRS differences with U.S. GAAP, corporate support and other support services in arriving at operating profi t. The following table sets forth a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable IFRS measurement, operating profi t, for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012. For the year ended 31 December 2013 2012 HK$ HK$ (in thousands) Operating profi t 7,812,305 6,697,507 Add Depreciation and amortization 918,527 918,929 Pre-opening costs 24,538 3,610 Property charges and other 9,573 49,071 Share-based payments 35,653 20,567 Wynn Macau, Limited corporate expenses 65,922 48,109 Adjusted EBITDA 8,866,518 7,737,793

12 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Notes: (1) Total casino revenues do not equal the sum of “VIP gross table games win,” “mass market gross table games win” and “slot machine win” because casino revenues are reported net of the relevant commissions. The following table presents a reconciliation of the sum of “VIP gross table games win,” “mass market gross table games win” and “slot machine win” to total casino revenues. For the year ended 31 December 2013 2012 HK$ HK$ (in thousands) VIP gross table games win 28,670,414 26,294,331 Mass market gross table games win 7,701,236 6,539,887 Slot machine win 1,904,869 1,916,505 Poker revenues 139,368 151,395 Commissions (8,879,840) (8,195,406) Total casino revenues 29,536,047 26,706,712 (2) Promotional allowances are excluded from revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also evaluates non-casino revenues on an adjusted basis. The following table presents a reconciliation of net non-casino revenues as reported in our consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income to gross non-casino revenues calculated on the adjusted basis. The adjusted non-casino revenues as presented below are used for management reporting purposes and are not representative of revenues as determined under IAS 18.


 
13Annual Report 2013 Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended 31 December 2013 2012 HK$ HK$ (in thousands) Room revenues 114,546 143,061 Promotional allowances 774,683 769,782 Adjusted room revenues 889,229 912,843 Food and beverage revenues 189,308 185,109 Promotional allowances 567,812 571,096 Adjusted food and beverage revenues 757,120 756,205 Retail and other revenues 1,500,953 1,417,342 Promotional allowances 44,151 51,810 Adjusted retail and other revenues 1,545,104 1,469,152 (3) Mass market customers purchase gaming chips at either the gaming tables or the casino cage. Chips purchased at the casino cage are excluded from table games drop and will increase the expected win percentage. With the increased purchases at the casino cage, we believe the relevant indicator of volumes in the mass market should be table games win. (4) For purposes of this table, we calculate average number of gaming tables and average number of slots as the average number of gaming tables and slot machines in service on each day in the year. (5) Daily gross win per gaming table and daily win per slot are presented in this table on the basis of the average number of gaming tables and average number of slots, respectively, over the number of days Wynn Macau and Encore were open in the applicable year. In addition, the total table games win fi gures used herein do not correspond to casino revenues fi gures in our fi nancial statements, because fi gures in our fi nancial statements are calculated net of commissions and the total table games win herein is calculated before commissions.


 
14 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Discussion of Results of Operations Financial results for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to fi nancial results for the year ended 31 December 2012 Operating Revenues Total operating revenues increased by 10.2% from HK$28.5 billion in 2012 to HK$31.3 billion in 2013. This increase was primarily due to higher gaming volume in our VIP casino and a higher win percentage in our VIP casino and mass casino during 2013 compared to 2012. Casino Revenues Casino revenues increased by 10.6%, from HK$26.7 billion (93.9% of total operating revenues) in 2012 to HK$29.5 billion (94.2% of total operating revenues) in 2013. The components and reasons are as follows: VIP casino gaming operations. VIP gross table games win increased by 9%, from HK$26.3 billion in 2012 to HK$28.7 billion in 2013. VIP table games turnover increased by 3.1%, from HK$925.2 billion in 2012 to HK$954.0 billion in 2013. VIP gross table games win as a percentage of turnover (calculated before commissions) increased from 2.84% in 2012 to 3.01% in 2013 which was slightly above our expected range of 2.7% to 3.0%. Mass market casino gaming operations. Mass market gross table games win increased by 17.8%, from HK$6.5 billion in 2012 to HK$7.7 billion in 2013. Mass market table games drop decreased by 4.7% from HK$21.4 billion in 2012 to HK$20.4 billion in 2013. The mass market gross table games win percentage was 30.5% in 2012 compared to 37.7% in 2013. Slot machine gaming operations. Slot machine win remained essentially fl at at HK$1.9 billion in 2012 and HK$1.9 billion in 2013. Slot machine handle increased by 3.2%, from HK$36.4 billion in 2012 to HK$37.6 billion in 2013. Slot machine win per unit per day increased by 8.2% from HK$5,567 in 2012 to HK$6,024 in 2013. Slot machine win per unit per day increased primarily due to a decline in the average number of slot machines from 941 in 2012 to 866 in 2013. Non-casino Revenues Net non-casino revenues, which include room, food and beverage and retail revenues, increased by 3.4% from HK$1,745.5 million (6.1% of total operating revenues) in 2012 to HK$1,804.8 million (5.8% of total operating revenues) in 2013.


 
15Annual Report 2013 Management Discussion and Analysis Rooms. Our room revenues, which exclude promotional allowances in our consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, decreased by 19.9% from HK$143.1 million in 2012 to HK$114.5 million in 2013. Management also evaluates room revenues on an adjusted basis which include promotional allowances. Adjusted room revenues including promotional allowances decreased by 2.6% from HK$912.8 million in 2012 to HK$889.2 million in 2013. During the second quarter of 2013, we began a renovation of approximately 600 guest rooms in the original Wynn Macau tower contributing to an approximate 4.8% reduction in the number of available room-nights compared to 2012. We completed the guest room renovation in December 2013. The following table presents additional information about our adjusted room revenues (which include promotional allowances): Adjusted room revenues information For the year ended 31 December 2013 2012 Adjusted Average Daily Rate (includes promotional allowances of HK$2,127 in 2013 and HK$2,071 in 2012) HK$2,431 HK$2,447 Occupancy 95.5% 93.0% Adjusted REVPAR (includes promotional allowances of HK$2,031 in 2013 and HK$1,925 in 2012) HK$2,321 HK$2,275 Food and beverage. Food and beverage revenues, which exclude promotional allowances in our consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, increased by 2.3% from HK$185.1 million in 2012 to HK$189.3 million in 2013. Management also evaluates food and beverage revenues on an adjusted basis including promotional allowances. Food and beverage revenues adjusted to include these promotional allowances remained essentially fl at from HK$756.2 million in 2012 to adjusted revenues of HK$757.1 million in 2013.


 
16 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Retail and other. Our retail and other revenues, which exclude promotional allowances in our consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income increased by 5.9% from HK$1,417.3 million in 2012 to HK$1,501.0 million in 2013. This increase is primarily due to stronger business in our leased stores. Management also evaluates retail and other revenues on an adjusted basis which includes promotional allowances. Adjusted retail and other revenues including promotional allowances increased by 5.2% from HK$1,469.2 million in 2012 to HK$1,545.1 million in 2013. The increase is primarily due to stronger business in our leased stores. Operating Costs and Expenses Gaming taxes and premiums. Gaming taxes and premiums increased by 10.0%, from HK$13.8 billion in 2012 to HK$15.1 billion in 2013. This increase from 2012 to 2013 was due to increased gross gaming win in both our VIP casino and mass market casino. Wynn Macau is subject to a 35% gaming tax on gross gaming win. In addition, Wynn Macau is also required to pay 4% of its gross gaming win as contributions for public development and social facilities. Staff costs. Staff costs increased from HK$2.2 billion in 2012 to HK$2.4 billion in 2013. The increase was primarily due to the salary increases implemented in 2013. Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased by 6.7%, from HK$4.8 billion in 2012 to HK$5.1 billion in 2013. The increase in other operating costs was primarily due to higher business volume related expenses such as gaming promoters’ commissions and royalty fees. Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained essentially fl at from HK$918.9 million in 2012 to HK$918.5 million in 2013. Property charges and other. Property charges and other decreased from HK$49.1 million in 2012 to HK$9.6 million in 2013. The decrease in property charges and other is due primarily to the sale of a diamond in 2013 which resulted in a gain of HK$29.6 million. Additionally, amounts in each period represent gain/loss on the sale of equipment and other asset as well as costs related to assets retired or abandoned as a result of renovating certain assets of Wynn Macau in response to customer preferences and changes in market demand. As a result of the foregoing, total operating costs and expenses increased by 8.2%, from HK$21.8 billion in 2012 to HK$23.5 billion in 2013.


 
17Annual Report 2013 Management Discussion and Analysis Finance Revenues Finance revenues increased from HK$83.8 million in 2012 to HK$110.9 million in 2013. The increase is mainly due to higher cash balances during 2013. During 2013 and 2012, our short-term investment strategy has been to preserve capital while retaining suffi cient liquidity. While we have recently invested in certain corporate debt securities which contributed to the increase in interest income, the majority of our short-term investments are primarily in fi xed deposits with a maturity of three months or less. Finance Costs Finance costs increased by 17.8%, from HK$294.3 million in 2012 to HK$346.7 million in 2013. Finance costs increased in 2013 primarily due to the increase in amounts outstanding under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facility and the issuance of WML 2021 Notes in October 2013. Interest Rate Swaps As required under the terms of our various credit facilities, we have entered into agreements which swap a portion of the interest on our loans from fl oating to fi xed rates. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase or decrease in swap fair value during each year. We recorded a loss of HK$9.8 million in 2012 compared to a gain of HK$110.5 million for 2013 resulting from the decrease and increase in the fair value of our interest rate swaps in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense was HK$15.0 million in 2012 and 2013. Current income tax expense primarily relates to income tax expense of our subsidiaries owning WRM’s shares under the WRM Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement. Net Profi t Attributable to Owners of the Company As a result of the foregoing, net profi t attributable to owners of the Company increased by 19.6%, from HK$6.4 billion in 2012 to HK$7.7 billion in 2013.


 
18 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital Resources Since Wynn Macau opened in 2006, we have generally funded our working capital and recurring expenses as well as capital expenditures from cash fl ow from operations and cash on hand. Our cash balances at 31 December 2013 were HK$14.1 billion. Such cash is available for operations, new development activities, development of Wynn Palace and enhancements to Wynn Macau and Encore. In addition, we have HK$1.6 billion of restricted cash for Wynn Palace related construction and development costs. On 31 July 2012, WRM expanded its availability under its senior secured bank facility to HK$17.9 billion equivalent consisting of a HK$5.8 billion equivalent fully funded senior secured term loan facility and a HK$12.1 billion equivalent senior secured revolving credit facility. On 30 July 2013, WRM exercised its option to increase the senior term loan facility by approximately HK$1.6 billion pursuant to the pre-existing terms and provisions of the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. The HK$1.6 billion additional term loan facility was fully funded as of 31 July 2013 and is required to be used for the payment of certain Wynn Palace related construction and development costs. On 16 October 2013, the Company issued 5.25% senior notes due 2021 for an aggregate principal amount of US$600 million (approximately HK$4.7 billion). The Company received net proceeds of US$591.0 million (approximately HK$4.6 billion) from the offering of the WML 2021 Notes after deducting commissions and expenses of the offering and will use the net proceeds for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. Investments As at 31 December 2013, the Group had net investments in Offshore RMB denominated debt securities with maturities within one year that amounted to Offshore RMB29.7 million (approximately HK$38.0 million) compared to RMB338.7 million (approximately HK$421.8 million) as at 31 December 2012.

The facilities, specifi cally the fully funded term loan, were used to refi nance WRM’s then existing indebtedness and approximately HK$1.6 billion is being held for payment of certain Wynn Palace construction and development costs. Future borrowings under the facilities may be used for a variety of purposes, including investment in our Wynn Palace project, further enhancements at our resort, and general corporate purposes.


 
22 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis On 30 July 2013, WRM exercised its option to increase the senior term loan facility by approximately HK$1.6 billion pursuant to the pre-existing terms and provisions of the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. The HK$1.6 billion additional term loan facility was fully funded as of 31 July 2013 and is required to be used for the payment of certain Wynn Palace related construction and development costs. The HK$7.4 billion equivalent term loan facility matures in July 2018 with the principal amount of the term loan to be repaid in two installments in July 2017 and July 2018. The fi nal maturity for the revolving credit facility is July 2017, by which date any outstanding revolving loans must be repaid. The senior secured facilities bears interest at a rate of LIBOR or HIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% and 2.50% depending on WRM’s leverage ratio. Security and Guarantees Borrowings under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Palo and by certain subsidiaries of the Company that own equity interests in WRM, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of WRM, the equity interests in WRM and, substantially all of the assets of Palo. With respect to the Concession Agreement and WRM’s land concession agreement, the WRM lenders have certain cure rights and consultation rights with the Macau government upon an enforcement by the lenders. Second Ranking Lender WRM is also party to a bank guarantee reimbursement agreement with Banco National Ultramarino S.A. to secure a guarantee in favor of the Macau government which guarantee is required under the Concession Agreement. The amount of this guarantee is MOP300 million (approximately HK$291.3 million) and it lasts until 180 days after the end of the term of the Concession Agreement. The guarantee assures WRM’s performance under the Concession Agreement, including the payment of certain premiums, fi nes and indemnities for breach. The guarantee is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral package securing the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. Other Terms The Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities contain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for casino development fi nancings in Macau. The Directors confi rm that there is no non-compliance with the fi nancial covenants or general covenants contained in the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. The Company is not a party to the credit facilities agreement and related agreements and has no rights or obligations thereunder.

The Company received net proceeds of US$591.0 million (approximately HK$4.6 billion) from the offering of the WML 2021 Notes after deducting commissions and expenses of the offering and will use the net proceeds for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. The WML 2021 Notes, which are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, mature in October 2021. Subsequent to the reporting period, on 20 March 2014, the Company issued 5.25% fi xed rate, unsecured senior notes due 2021 for an aggregate principal amount of US$750 million (approximately HK$5.9 billion). The WML 2021 Additional Notes have the same terms and conditions as those of the WML 2021 Notes save for the issue date and purchase price, and are also listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Company received estimated net proceeds of US$749 million (approximately HK$5.8 billion) from the offering of the WML 2021 Additional Notes after including the premiums and deducting the commissions and estimated expenses of the offering and excluding the receipt of accrued interest. The Company will use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and conditions, such as infl ation, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign Exchange Risks The fi nancial statements of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars, the Company’s functional and presentation currency, for incorporation into the consolidated fi nancial statements. The majority of our assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Macau patacas and Offshore RMB, and there are no signifi cant assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing foreign exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income, expenditures and cash fl ow items are measured at the actual foreign exchange rates or average foreign exchange rates for the period. The Hong Kong dollar is linked to the U.S. dollar and the exchange rate between these two currencies has remained relatively stable over the past several years. The Macau pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar, and in many cases the two currencies are used interchangeably in Macau. However, the exchange linkages of the Hong Kong dollar and the Macau pataca, and the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar, are subject to potential changes due to, among other things, changes in governmental policies and international economic and political developments. Our Group is also exposed to foreign exchange risk arising with respect to the Offshore RMB, which does not have pegged exchange linkages to the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar or Macau pataca.


 
24 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Interest Rate Risks One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our credit facilities, which bear interest based on fl oating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fi xed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings supplemented by hedging activities as considered necessary. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fl uctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations. As at 31 December 2013, the Group had three interest rate swap agreements intended to manage a portion of the underlying interest rate risk on borrowings under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. Under two swap agreements, the Group pays a fi xed interest rate of 0.73% on borrowings of approximately HK$3.95 billion incurred under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable HIBOR at the time of payment. These interest rate swaps fi xes the all-in interest rate on approximately HK$3.95 billion of borrowings under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at approximately 2.48%. These interest rate swap agreements mature in July 2017. Under the third swap agreement, the Group pays a fi xed interest rate of 0.6763% on borrowing of US$243.8 million (approximately HK$1.8 billion) incurred under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. This interest rate swap fi xes the all-in interest rate on US$243.8 million (approximately HK$1.8 billion) of borrowings under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at approximately 2.43%. This interest rate swap agreement matures in July 2017. The carrying value of these interest rate swaps on the consolidated statement of fi nancial position approximates its fair value. The fair value approximates the amount the Group would pay if these contracts were settled at the respective valuation dates. Fair value is estimated based upon current, and predictions of future interest rate levels along a yield curve, the remaining duration of the instruments and other market conditions and, therefore, is subject to signifi cant estimation and a high degree of variability of fl uctuation between periods. We adjust this amount by applying a non- performance valuation, considering its creditworthiness or the creditworthiness of its counterparties at each settlement date, as applicable. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair values during the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, were charged to the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. To the extent there are any liabilities of Wynn Macau under the swap agreement, such liabilities are secured by the same collateral package securing the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities.


 
25Annual Report 2013 Management Discussion and Analysis OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities nor do we engage in any transactions involving derivatives except for interest rate swaps. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. OTHER LIQUIDITY MATTERS We expect to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements from operating cash fl ows, cash on hand and funds available under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. However, we cannot be sure that operating cash fl ows will be suffi cient for those purposes. We may refi nance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot be sure that we will be able to refi nance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all. New business developments (including our development of Wynn Palace) or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any other development would require us to obtain additional fi nancing. In the ordinary course of business, in response to market demands and client preferences, and in order to increase revenues, we have made and will continue to make enhancements and refi nements to our resort. We have incurred and will continue to incur capital expenditures related to these enhancements and refi nements. Taking into consideration our fi nancial resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, internally generated funds and availability under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities, we believe that we have suffi cient liquid assets to meet our working capital and operating requirements for the following 12 months. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS For details of the related party transactions, see note 28 to the Financial Statements. Our Directors confi rm that all related party transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms, and that their terms are fair and reasonable.

REMUNERATION POLICY As at 31 December 2013, the Group had approximately 7,000 full-time equivalent employees. Employees of the Group are selected, remunerated and promoted on the basis of their merit, qualifi cations, competence and contribution to the Group. Compensation of key executives of the Group is determined by the Company’s remuneration committee which reviews and determines executives’ compensation based on the Group’s performance and the executives’ respective contributions to the Group. The Company also has a provident fund set up for its employees and a share options scheme. Further details on the Company’s share options scheme are set out below. SHARE OPTION SCHEME The Company approved the adoption of a share option scheme on 16 September 2009 with the implementation of the scheme conditional on the Company’s listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The purpose of the share option scheme is to reward participants, which may include Directors and employees of the Group, who have contributed to the Group and to encourage them to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its Shares for the benefi t of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The options granted under the scheme do not give immediate ownership of the underlying Shares as they require payment of a subscription price which is based on the then prevailing market price of the Shares.

Dr. Zeman also resigned as a member of the Commission on Strategic Development and the Food Business Task Force of Business Facilitation Advisory Committee. (c) Mr. Jeffrey Kin-fung Lam, an independent non-executive Director of the Company, was appointed as an independent non-executive director of Shougang Concord Technology Holdings Ltd., a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, in October 2013.

61Annual Report 2013 Corporate Governance Report CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES The Company is dedicated to maintaining and ensuring high standards of corporate governance practices and the corporate governance principles of the Company are adopted in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. The Company’s corporate governance practices are based on the principles, code provisions and certain recommended best practices as set out in the Code. The Company has complied with the code provisions in the Code for the year ended 31 December 2013, except for the following deviation from provisions A.2.1 and A.5.6 of the Code. Mr. Stephen A. Wynn as our Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer Under code provision A.2.1 of the Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive offi cer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. The Company does not at present separate the roles of the chairman and chief executive offi cer. Mr. Wynn, the founder of the Company and Wynn Macau, serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer of the Company. The Board has determined that the combination of these roles held singularly by Mr. Wynn is in the best interest of the Company and all Shareholders. The Board believes that the issue of whether to combine or separate the offi ces of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Offi cer is part of the succession planning process and that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Board to make a determination whether to combine or separate the roles based upon the circumstances. The Board has given careful consideration to separating the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer and has determined that the Company and its Shareholders are best served by the current structure. Mr. Wynn’s combined role promotes unifi ed leadership and direction for the Board and executive management and allows for a single, clear focus for the Company’s operational and strategic efforts. The combined role of Mr. Wynn as both Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer is balanced by the Company’s governance structure, policies and controls. All major decisions are made in consultation with members of the Board and the relevant Board committees. The Company has three Board committees, namely the audit committee, the remuneration committee, and the nomination and corporate governance committee. Each Board committee comprises non-executive Directors only and is chaired by an independent non-executive Director. In addition, there are three independent non-executive Directors on the Board, which increases to four effective from 29 March 2014, offering independent perspectives. This structure encourages independent and effective oversight of the Company’s operations and prudent management of risk.


 
62 Wynn Macau, Limited Corporate Governance Report CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES (CONTINUED) Mr. Stephen A. Wynn as our Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer (continued) For the reasons stated above and as a result of the structure, policies and procedures outlined above, and in light of the historical success of Mr. Wynn’s leadership, the Board has concluded that the current Board leadership structure is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Board Diversity Policy Effective from 1 September 2013, the Code was amended to promote board diversity (the “Code Amendment”). In particular, code provision A.5.6 of the Code was added which stipulates that the nomination committee of the Company or the Board should have a policy concerning the diversity of members of the Board, and that such policy or a summary of such policy be disclosed in the corporate governance report. It is noted under the new code provision A.5.6 of the Code that Board diversity differs according to the circumstances of each company, that diversity of Board can be achieved through consideration of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, gender, age, cultural and educational background, or professional experience and that each company should take into account its own business model and specifi c needs, and disclose the rationale for the factors it uses for this purpose. The Company was not required to comply with the Code Amendment during the period from 1 January to 31 August 2013. The Company did not comply with new code provision A.5.6 of the Code during the period from 1 September to 7 November 2013 while considering the factors relevant to the formulation of the diversity policy. The policy was adopted on 7 November 2013. MODEL CODE The Company adopted the Model Code on 16 September 2009 as its code of conduct for securities transactions by Directors. On 23 March 2010, the Company adopted its own code of conduct for securities transactions which was subsequently updated in November 2013. The terms of such code are no less exacting than those set out in the Model Code. Having made specifi c enquiry of the Directors, all Directors have confi rmed that they have complied with the required standard of dealings and code of conduct regarding securities dealings by directors as set out in the Model Code and the Company’s own code of conduct for the year ended 31 December 2013 with the following exceptions.


 
63Annual Report 2013 Corporate Governance Report MODEL CODE (CONTINUED) Mr. Wynn did not, on two instances as required by the Model Code, notify another Director and obtain a dated written acknowledgment prior to his spouse acquiring shares in the common stock of Wynn Resorts, Limited. The Company considers such non-compliance to be a technical non-compliance only. The relevant transaction did not occur during a blackout period of the Company and only involved an immaterial number of shares in the common stocks of Wynn Resorts, Limited (on the fi rst instance involving 2,000 shares out of a total issued share capital of 100,581,636 shares and on the second instance involving 3,000 shares out of a total issued share capital of 100,624,630 shares), which also represented the entire shareholding of Mr. Wynn’s spouse in Wynn Resorts, Limited. At the time of the acquisition, Mr. Wynn’s spouse was not in possession of any inside information about the Company or Wynn Resorts, Limited. Upon becoming aware of the acquisition, Mr. Wynn gave the required notifi cation of the acquisition. On 23 February 2013, 50,000 shares in the common stock of Wynn Resorts, Limited vested in favor of Mr. Marc D. Schorr, who was then one of the Directors of the Company, pursuant to an Amended Restricted Stock Agreement with Wynn Resorts, Limited of the same date. Further to an election by Mr. Schorr dated 26 February 2013 in accordance with an offer by Wynn Resorts, Limited to do so, Wynn Resorts, Limited withheld 20,975 of these shares and applied the value thereof (determined based on the market price of the shares of Wynn Resorts, Limited measured as of the vesting date) to make withholding tax payments arising from the vesting of the shares for the benefi t of Mr. Schorr. These 20,975 shares were not granted to Mr. Schorr or made available on NASDAQ but were issued and bought by Wynn Resorts, Limited becoming treasury stock. As a consequence, Mr. Schorr ceased to be interested in 20,975 shares of Wynn Resorts, Limited. The relevant notice to the Company and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange disclosing this event, which is available to the public, was fi led on 27 February 2013. Because Mr. Schorr’s election occurred during a blackout period under the Company’s code of conduct for securities transactions, the election constituted a technical violation of that code. The Company reviewed and amended its code on 28 March 2013 in order to permit such transactions, which are common in the context of U.S. companies such as Wynn Resorts, Limited, at any time, so long as the grantee of the shares is not, at the time the election is made, in possession of “inside information,” as such term is defi ned for purposes of Part XIVA of SFO about the Company or Wynn Resorts, Limited.

78 Wynn Macau, Limited Independent Auditors’ Report An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated fi nancial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

86 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on 4 September 2009. The Company’s Shares were listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 9 October 2009. The Company’s registered offi ce address is P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands, or at such other place as the Directors may from time to time decide. The Group owns and operates a hotel and casino resort, Wynn Macau, which conducts gaming activities in casinos in Macau under a concession contract signed with the Macau Government on 24 June 2002. The 20-year concession period commenced on 27 June 2002 and will expire on 26 June 2022. WM Cayman Holdings Limited I owns 72.29% of the Company and 27.71% of the Company is owned by public shareholders. The ultimate parent company of Wynn Macau, Limited is Wynn Resorts, Limited, a publicly-traded company incorporated in the United States of America. 2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION These fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards which comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations approved by the IFRS Interpretations Committee and the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules. The fi nancial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of available-for-sale investments and derivative fi nancial instruments which have been measured at fair value as further explained in note 2.2. These fi nancial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (HK$’000) except when otherwise indicated. Basis of consolidation The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of Wynn Macau, Limited and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2013. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group, and will continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The fi nancial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies and dividends are eliminated on consolidation in full. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.


 
87Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Subsidiaries A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee). In the Company’s statement of fi nancial position, the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable. Fair value measurement The Group measures its derivative fi nancial instruments and available-for-sale investments at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-fi nancial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefi ts by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which suffi cient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.


 
88 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Fair value measurement (continued) All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the fi nancial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is signifi cant to the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1 — based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signifi cant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signifi cant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the fi nancial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is signifi cant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifi able net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income as a gain on bargain purchase. Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position as an asset, initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.


 
89Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Goodwill (continued) Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefi t from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Foreign currency translation These fi nancial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the fi nancial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currencies transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the statement of fi nancial position date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values were measured. The gain or loss arising on retranslation of a non-monetary item is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item.


 
90 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Related parties A party is considered to be related to the Group if: (a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person (i) has control or joint control over the Group; (ii) has signifi cant infl uence over the Group; or (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group; or (b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies: (i) the entity of the Group are members of the same group; (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity); (iii) the entity of the Group are joint ventures of the same third party; (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity; (v) the entity is a post-employment benefi t plan for the benefi t of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group; (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identifi ed in (a); and/or (vii) a person identifi ed in (a)(i) has signifi cant infl uence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).


 
91Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after items of property and equipment have been put into operation, such as repair and maintenance costs, are recognized in the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred. When signifi cant parts of property and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specifi c useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfi ed. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property and equipment to its residual value over the shorter of the remaining term of the gaming concession (for designated gaming assets and space) or the land concession for Wynn Macau (for all other assets), as applicable, and their estimated useful lives. The gaming concession and the land concession for Wynn Macau currently expire in June 2022 and August 2029, respectively. The estimated useful lives used for this purpose are as follows: Buildings and improvements 10 to 25 years Furniture, fi xtures and equipment 3 to 5 years Leasehold improvements (shorter of remaining lease period and estimated useful life) 1 to 5 years An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefi ts are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized. Residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each fi nancial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.


 
92 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Property and equipment (continued) Construction in progress represents assets under development or construction, which are stated at cost less any impairment losses, and are not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalized borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassifi ed to the appropriate category of property and equipment when completed and ready for use. Leasehold interests in land Leasehold interests in land under operating leases are payments made on entering into or acquiring land-use rights over extended periods of time. The total lease payments are amortized on the straight-line basis over the lease terms in accordance with the expected pattern of consumption of the economic benefi ts embodied in the land-use right. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. When funds have been borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining qualifying assets, a capitalization rate would be applied to the expenditure on the individual assets. Impairment of non-fi nancial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or a cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined by individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash infl ows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rates that refl ect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identifi ed, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.


 
93Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Impairment of non-fi nancial assets (continued) The Group bases its impairment calculations on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which are prepared separately for each of the Group’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of fi ve years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to projected future cash fl ows after the fi fth year. Impairment losses of continuing operations including impairments on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired assets. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment losses been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Investments and other fi nancial assets Financial assets are classifi ed, at initial recognition, as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale fi nancial assets, as appropriate. When fi nancial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the fi nancial assets, except in the case of fi nancial assets recorded at fair value through profi t or loss. The Group determines the classifi cation of its fi nancial assets on initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each fi nancial year end. All regular way purchases and sales of fi nancial assets are recognized on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of fi nancial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.


 
94 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Investments and other fi nancial assets (continued) Subsequent measurement of loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, deposits, amounts due from related companies and cash and cash equivalents) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Available-for-sale investments Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative fi nancial assets in listed and unlisted debt securities. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefi nite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in market conditions. After initial recognition, available-for-sale investments are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recognized as other comprehensive income in the available- for-sale investment revaluation reserve until the investment is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative gain or loss reclassifi ed from the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve to the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income in other expenses. Interest earned while holding the available-for-sale investments is reported as fi nance revenue in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income in accordance with the policy set out for “Revenue recognition” below.


 
95Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Impairment of fi nancial assets The Group assesses at each statement of fi nancial position date whether there is objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or a group of fi nancial assets is impaired. Assets carried at amortized cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the fi nancial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the loss is recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to fi nance costs in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor) that the Group will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the transaction. The carrying amount of the receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. Available-for-sale investments For available-for-sale investments, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired. If an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortization) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income.


 
96 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Impairment of fi nancial assets (continued) Available-for-sale investments (continued) In the case of debt instruments classifi ed as available-for-sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as fi nancial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash fl ows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of fi nance revenue. Impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income if the increase in fair value of the instruments can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on the fi rst-in, fi rst-out, average or specifi c identifi cation methods. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less estimated costs to be incurred on completion and disposal. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of fi nancial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are not restricted as to use. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash fl ows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defi ned above. Financial liabilities The Group’s and the Company’s fi nancial liabilities are classifi ed as other fi nancial liabilities, which include accounts payable, land premium payables, construction retention payables, other payables, amounts due to related companies, interest-bearing borrowings, other current and long-term liabilities and derivatives, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.


 
97Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Financial liabilities (continued) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs, and have not been designated as “fair value through profi t or loss”. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method (“EIR”) amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in fi nance costs in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. Derivative fi nancial instruments The Group uses derivative fi nancial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage risks associated with interest rate fl uctuations. Such derivative fi nancial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Fair value is estimated based upon current, and predictions of future interest rate levels along a yield curve, the remaining duration of the instrument and other market conditions and, therefore, is subject to signifi cant estimation and a high degree of variability of fl uctuation between periods. The Group adjusts this amount by applying a non- performance valuation after considering the Group’s creditworthiness or the creditworthiness of the Group’s counterparties at each settlement date. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. All gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives are taken directly to the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income as none of the derivatives qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by using appropriate valuation techniques. Current versus non-current classifi cation Derivative instruments that are not designated as effective hedging instruments are classifi ed as current or non-current or separated into current and non-current portions based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances (i.e., the underlying contracted cash fl ows).


 
98 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Derecognition of fi nancial assets and liabilities Financial assets A fi nancial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a fi nancial asset or part of a group of similar fi nancial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of fi nancial position) when: the rights to receive cash fl ows from the asset have expired; or the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash fl ows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay cash fl ow receipts in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash fl ows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price. Financial liabilities A fi nancial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires. When an existing fi nancial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modifi ed, such an exchange or modifi cation is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income.


 
99Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outfl ow of resources embodying economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that refl ects, where appropriate, the risks specifi c to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a fi nance cost. Pensions and other post employment benefi ts The Group operates a defi ned contribution retirement benefi t scheme (the “Scheme”). The Scheme allows eligible employees to contribute 5% of their salary to the Scheme and the Group matches the contributions with an equal amount. The assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s matching contributions vest to the employees at 10% per year with full vesting in ten years. Forfeitures of unvested contributions are used to reduce the Group’s liability for its contributions payable under the Scheme. The contributions are charged to the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the Scheme. Share-based payments Employees (including senior executives and directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments in the form of common shares of the ultimate parent company, Wynn Resorts, Limited, or beginning in September 2009, the Company. In situations where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifi cally identifi ed, they are measured as the difference between the fair value of the share-based payment transactions and the fair value of any identifi able goods or services received at the grant date. This is then capitalized or expensed as appropriate.


 
100 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Share-based payments (continued) Equity-settled transactions The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees, for awards granted after 7 November 2002, is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using an appropriate pricing model, further details of which are given in note 24. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfi lled in employee benefi t expenses, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the “vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity- settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date refl ects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as of the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in staff costs. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfi ed, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfi ed. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modifi ed, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modifi ed, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognized for any modifi cation that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment, or is otherwise benefi cial to the employee as measured at the date of modifi cation. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the entity or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modifi cation of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. All cancellations of equity-settled transaction awards are treated equally. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is refl ected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.


 
101Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at its inception and whether the fulfi llment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specifi c asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Group as a lessee Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefi ts of ownership of the asset are classifi ed as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Group as a lessor When an asset is leased out under an operating lease, the asset is included in the statement of fi nancial position based on the nature of the asset. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defi ned terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties. Casino revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in customers’ possession. Revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives. Accordingly, the Group’s casino revenues are reduced by commissions and points earned in customer loyalty programs. Rooms, food and beverage, retail and other operating revenues are recognized when services are performed or the retail goods are sold. Deposits received from customers in advance on rooms or other services are recorded as liabilities until services are provided to the customers.


 
102 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenue recognition (continued) The retail value of accommodation, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is excluded from total operating revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. The amounts of such promotional allowances excluded from total operating revenues are as follows: Group For the year ended 31 December 2013 2012 HK$ HK$ (in thousands) Rooms 774,683 769,782 Food and beverage 567,812 571,096 Retail and other 44,151 51,810 1,386,646 1,392,688 Retail and other revenue includes rental income which is recognized on a time proportion basis over the lease terms. Contingent rental income is recognized when the right to receive such rental income is established according to the lease agreements. Finance revenue is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable interest rates. Taxes Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of fi nancial position date.


 
103Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Taxes (continued) Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the statement of fi nancial position date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for fi nancial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profi t nor taxable profi t or loss; and in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profi t will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except: when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profi t nor taxable profi t or loss; and in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profi ts will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.


 
104 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Taxes (continued) Deferred income tax (continued) The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of fi nancial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that suffi cient taxable profi ts will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of fi nancial position date and are recognized to the extent it has become probable that future taxable profi ts will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of fi nancial position date. Deferred income tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Gaming taxes and premiums According to the Concession Agreement granted by the Macau Government and the relevant legislation, the Group is required to pay a 35% gaming tax on the gross gaming win. The Group is also required to pay an additional 4% of gross gaming win as public development and social related contributions. The Group also makes certain variable and fi xed payments to the Macau Government based on the number of slot machines and table games in operation on a monthly and yearly basis, respectively. These expenses are reported as “gaming taxes and premiums” in the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. Fine art and a diamond The Group’s fi ne art and a diamond are stated at cost less accumulated impairment. Any fi ne art and diamond impairment is assessed based on the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, which is usually the property in its entirety. The diamond was sold during the year ended 31 December 2013 and no impairment has been recognized for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012.


 
105Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Fine art and a diamond (continued) Fine art and the diamond are derecognized upon disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized. Dividends Final dividends proposed by the directors are classifi ed as a separate allocation of retained earnings within the equity section of the statement of fi nancial position, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. When these dividends have been approved by the shareholders and declared, they are recognized as a liability. Interim/special dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared because the Company’s memorandum and articles of association grant the Directors the authority to declare interim/ special dividends. Consequently, interim/special dividends are recognized immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared. Statutory reserve In accordance with the provisions of the Macau Commercial Code, Wynn Macau, Limited’s subsidiaries incorporated in Macau are required to transfer a minimum of 10% of their annual net profi t to a legal reserve until that reserve equals 25% of their issued capital. This reserve is not distributable to the shareholders.


 
106 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.3 IMPACT OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS The Group has adopted the following new and revised IFRSs for the fi rst time for the current year fi nancial statements: IFRS 1 Amendments Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards — Government Loans IFRS 7 Amendments Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 Amendments Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 — Transition Guidance IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement IAS 1 Amendments Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements — Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income IAS 19 Amendments Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefi ts IAS 27 (revised) Separate Financial Statements IAS 28 (revised) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine Annual Improvements 2009 – 2011 Cycle Amendments to a number of IFRSs issued in May 2012 Other than as further explained below regarding the impact of IFRS 13, the adoption of the new and revised IFRSs has had no signifi cant fi nancial effect on these fi nancial statements. The principal effects of adopting this new IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement are as follows: IFRS 13 provides a precise defi nition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The standard does not change the circumstances in which the Group is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how fair value should be applied where its use is already required or permitted under other IFRSs. IFRS 13 is applied prospectively and the adoption has had no material impact on the Group’s fair value measurements. As a result of the guidance in IFRS 13, the policies for measuring fair value have been amended. Additional disclosures required by IFRS 13 for the fair value measurements of fi nancial instruments are included in note 29 to the fi nancial statements.

While the adoption of some of the amendments and the new and revised IFRSs may result in change in accounting policies and new disclosures, none of these are expected to have a signifi cant fi nancial impact on the Group.


 
108 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.5 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES The preparation of the Group’s fi nancial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates may result in outcomes that may require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future. Key sources of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies which have a signifi cant effect on the fi nancial statements are set out below. Useful lives of property and equipment The useful lives of assets are based on management’s estimations. Management considers the impact of changes in technology, customer service requirements, availability of capital funding and the required return on assets and equity to determine the optimum useful life expectation for each of the individual categories of property, plant, and equipment. The estimations of residual values of assets are also based on management’s judgments as to whether the assets will be sold or used to the end of their useful lives and what their condition will be like at that time. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property and equipment to its residual value over the shorter of the remaining term of the gaming concession (for designated gaming assets and space) or land concession (for all other assets), as applicable, and their estimated useful lives. Management’s periodic reviews on the estimations made could result in changes in depreciable lives and, therefore, depreciation expense in future periods. Impairment of non-fi nancial assets Management is required to make judgments concerning the cause, timing and amount of impairments. In the identifi cation of impairment indicators, management considers the impact of changes in current competitive conditions, cost of capital, availability of funding, technological obsolescence, discontinuance of services and other circumstances that could indicate that an impairment exists. The Group applies the impairment assessments to its separate CGUs. This requires management to make signifi cant judgments concerning the existence of impairment indicators, identifi cation of separate CGU’s remaining useful lives of assets and estimates of projected cash fl ows and fair values less costs to sell. For non-fi nancial assets other than goodwill, management’s judgments are also required when assessing whether a previously recognized impairment loss should be reversed. Where impairment indicators exist, the determination of the recoverable amount of a CGU requires management to make assumptions to determine the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In addition, for goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.


 
109Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.5 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (CONTINUED) Impairment of non-fi nancial assets (continued) Key assumptions on which management has based its determinations of fair values less costs to sell include the existence of binding sale agreements, and for the determination of values in use include projected revenues, gross margins, and average revenue per asset component, capital expenditures, expected customer base and market share. Management is also required to choose suitable discount rates in order to calculate the present values of those cash fl ows. Changes in key assumptions on which the recoverable amounts of assets are based could signifi cantly affect the Group’s fi nancial condition and results of operations. Impairment of accounts receivable Management evaluates the reserve for bad debts based on specifi c reviews of customer accounts as well as experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions. As customer payment experience evolves, management will continue to refi ne the estimated reserve for bad debts. Accordingly, the associated provision for doubtful accounts charge may fl uctuate. Because individual customer account balances can be signifi cant, the reserve and the provision can change signifi cantly between periods, as customer information becomes known or as changes in a region’s economy or legal systems occur. Segment reporting The Group currently operates in one business segment, namely, the management of its casino and hotel resort. A single management team reports to the chief operating decision-maker who comprehensively manages the entire business. Accordingly, the Group does not have separate reportable segments. Fair value estimation — fi nancial assets and liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair values. The fair values of fi nancial instruments traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices. In assessing the fair values of non-traded instruments, discounted cash fl ows or market assessments are used. The nominal values less any estimated credit realizable value adjustments for fi nancial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year, including prepayments, other payables or current borrowings, are assumed to approximate their fair values. Management determines these assumptions by reviewing current market rates, making industry comparisons and reviewing conditions relevant to the Group.


 
110 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 2.5 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (CONTINUED) Fair value estimation — Black-Scholes valuation model The Group uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to value Wynn Resorts, Limited’s and Wynn Macau, Limited’s grants of options issued. The Black-Scholes valuation model uses assumptions of expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, the expected terms of options granted, and expected rates of dividends. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value. Expected volatility is based on implied and historical factors related to Wynn Resorts, Limited’s and Wynn Macau, Limited’s common stock. Expected term represents the weighted average time between the option’s grant date and its exercise date. The risk-free interest rate used is equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curve and the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Bills for the WRL Stock Plan and Wynn Macau, Limited’s Share Option Scheme, respectively, at the time of grant for the period equal to the expected term. Income taxes Income taxes represent the sum of income taxes currently payable and any deferred taxes. The calculation of deferred income taxes and any associated allowance is subject to a signifi cant amount of judgment. The Group’s income tax reports may be examined by governmental authorities. Accordingly, the Group reviews any potentially unfavorable tax outcome and, when an unfavorable outcome is identifi ed as probable and can be reasonably estimated, an allowance is established. 3.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS As at 31 December 2013, the Group had three interest rate swap agreements. Under two swap agreements, the Group paid a fi xed interest rate of 0.73% on total Hong Kong dollar borrowings of approximately HK$3.95 billion incurred under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable HIBOR at the time of payment. As at 31 December 2013, these two interest rate swaps fi xed the interest rate on approximately HK$3.95 billion of borrowings under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at approximately 2.48%. Under the third swap agreement, the Group paid a fi xed interest rate of 0.6763% on U.S. dollar borrowings of US$243.8 million (approximately HK$1.8 billion) incurred under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. As at 31 December 2013, this interest rate swap fi xed the interest rate on US$243.8 million (approximately HK$1.8 billion) of borrowings under the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at approximately 2.43%. All the three agreements will terminate in July 2017. The Group had one interest rate swap agreement that matured in June 2012. Under the swap agreement, the Group paid a fi xed interest rate of 2.15% on Hong Kong dollar borrowings of approximately HK$2.3 billion incurred under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable HIBOR at the time of payment. This interest rate swap fi xed the interest rate on the Hong Kong dollar borrowings at 3.4%. The carrying value of the interest rate swaps in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position approximates their fair value. The fair value approximates the amount that the Group would pay if these contracts were settled at the respective valuation dates. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value, were charged to the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income. The Group’s liabilities under the swap agreements in 2012 were secured by the same collateral package securing the Amended Wynn Macau Credit Facilities.

116 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONTINUED) The Group incurred Macau tax losses of approximately HK$584.8 million, HK$614.1 million and HK$551.4 million during the tax years ended 31 December 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. These tax losses will expire in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As at 31 December 2013, the Group’s deferred tax assets relating to the University of Macau Development Foundation contribution, interest rate swaps, executive compensation, fi xed assets and tax loss carryforwards amounting to HK$377.9 million (2012: HK$342.0 million) were not recognized as the Group determined it was not probable that future taxable profi ts will be available against which the deferred tax asset could be utilized. Effective 6 September 2006, WRM received a 5-year exemption from Macau’s 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profi ts (the “Tax Holiday”). On 30 November 2010, WRM received an additional 5-year exemption effective from 1 January 2011 through 31 December 2015. Accordingly, the Group was exempted from the payment of approximately HK$844.9 million in such tax for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: HK$693.5 million). The Group’s non-gaming profi ts remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau Special Gaming Tax and other levies in accordance with its Concession Agreement. In June 2009, WRM entered into the WRM Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement, effective retroactively to 2006, with the Macau Special Administrative Region that provided for annual payments of MOP7.2 million (approximately HK$7.0 million) to the Macau Special Administrative Region in lieu of Complementary Tax on dividend distributions to its shareholders from gaming profi ts. The term of this agreement was fi ve years, which coincided with the Tax Holiday which began in 2006. In November 2010, WRM applied for a 5-year extension of this agreement. In August 2011, the 5-year extension was granted with an annual payment of MOP15.5 million (approximately HK$15.0 million) due to the Macau Special Administration Region for each of the years 2011 through 2015. The Group is exempted from income tax in the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands. The Group’s subsidiaries fi le income tax returns in Macau and various foreign jurisdictions as required by law. The Group’s income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Group’s 2009 to 2012 Macau Complementary Tax returns remain subject to examination by the Financial Services Bureau of the Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region (the “Financial Services Bureau”). In March 2013, the Financial Services Bureau commenced an examination of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Complementary Tax returns for WRM. Since the examination is in its initial stage, the Group is unable to determine if it will conclude within the next 12 months. The Group believes its liability for uncertain tax positions is adequate with respect to these years.


 
117Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONTINUED) In January 2013, the Financial Services Bureau examined the 2009 and 2010 Macau Complementary Tax returns of Palo. The examination resulted in no change to the tax returns. Quarterly, the Group undertakes reviews for any potentially unfavorable tax outcomes and when an unfavorable outcome is identifi ed as being probable and can be reasonably estimated, the Group then establishes a tax reserve for such possible unfavorable outcome. Estimating potential tax outcomes for any uncertain tax issues is highly judgmental and may not be indicative of the ultimate settlement with the tax authorities. As of 31 December 2013, the Group has unrecognized tax losses of HK$1.8 billion (2012: HK$1.9 billion) and the Group believes that these unrecognized tax losses are adequate to offset any adjustments that might be proposed by the Macau tax authorities. The Group believes that it has adequately provided reasonable reserves for prudent and foreseeable outcomes related to uncertain tax matters. 6.

121Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 10. GOODWILL In September 2004, the Group acquired all of the 17.5% indirect ownership interests in WRM held by third parties, in exchange for 1,333,333 shares of Wynn Resorts, Limited’s common stock. Mr. Wong Chi Seng, one of the third parties, retained a direct 10% voting and social interest in WRM and agreed to continue to serve as Executive Director. The acquired shares provide, in aggregate, a nominal preferential annual dividend and capital distribution rights of up to one Macau pataca. As a result of the acquisition, WRM became an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Group. In accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for the acquisition of non-controlling interests, the assets and liabilities of WRM were not restated to refl ect their fair values at the date of the acquisition. The difference between the purchase price and the non-controlling share of the assets and liabilities refl ected within the consolidated statement of fi nancial position of HK$398.3 million at the date of the acquisition was recorded as goodwill. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash fl ow projections based on fi nancial budgets approved by management covering a fi ve-year period. Cash fl ows covering the fi ve-year period are extrapolated using an estimated weighted average growth rate that is determined based on past performance and expectations for market development including the expected opening of the resort in Cotai in 2016. The weighted average growth rate used is consistent with the forecasts used in the industry. The discount rate applied to the cash fl ow projections is 2.44% (2012: 2.3%). The discount rate used is pre-tax and refl ect specifi c risks relating to the Group. During the year ended 31 December 2013, there was no impairment of any of its CGUs containing goodwill with indefi nite useful lives (2012: nil).

149Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation The Group did not have any material litigation outstanding as at 31 December 2013 (2012: none). The Group’s affi liates are involved in litigation in addition to the actions noted below, arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation will not have a material effect on the Group’s fi nancial condition, results of operations or cash fl ows. Determination of unsuitability and redemption of Aruze USA, Inc. and affi liates On 18 February 2012, Wynn Resorts’ Gaming Compliance Committee concluded an investigation after receiving an independent report by Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP (the “Freeh Report”) detailing a pattern of misconduct by Aruze USA, Inc. (at the time a stockholder of Wynn Resorts), Universal Entertainment Corporation, Aruze USA, Inc.’s parent company, and Mr. Kazuo Okada, the majority shareholder of Universal Entertainment Corporation and a former member of the board of directors of Wynn Resorts and the Company (collectively, the “Okada Parties”). The factual record presented in the Freeh Report included evidence that the Okada Parties had provided valuable items to certain foreign gaming offi cials who were responsible for regulating gaming in a jurisdiction in which entities controlled by Mr. Okada were developing a gaming resort. Mr. Okada has denied the impropriety of such conduct to members of the board of directors of Wynn Resorts and while serving as one of Wynn Resorts directors, Mr. Okada refused to acknowledge or abide by Wynn Resorts’ anti-bribery policies and refused to participate in the training all other directors have received concerning these policies.


 
150 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Determination of unsuitability and redemption of Aruze USA, Inc. and affi liates (continued) Based on the Freeh Report, the board of directors of Wynn Resorts determined that the Okada Parties are “unsuitable persons” under Article VII of the Wynn Resorts’ articles of incorporation. The board of directors of Wynn Resorts was unanimous (other than Mr. Okada) in its determination. After authorizing the redemption of the Aruze shares, as discussed below, the board of directors of Wynn Resorts took certain actions to protect Wynn Resorts and its operations from any infl uence of an unsuitable person, including placing limitations on the provision of certain operating information to unsuitable persons and formation of an Executive Committee of the board of directors of Wynn Resorts to manage the business and affairs of Wynn Resorts during the period between each annual meeting. The Charter of the Executive Committee provides that “Unsuitable Persons” are not permitted to serve on the Committee. All members of the board of directors of Wynn Resorts, other than Mr. Okada, were appointed to the Executive Committee on 18 February 2012. The board of directors of Wynn Resorts also requested that Mr. Okada resign as a director of Wynn Resorts (under Nevada corporation law, a board of directors does not have the power to remove a director) and recommended that Mr. Okada be removed as a member of the board of directors of the Company. In addition, on 18 February 2012, Mr. Okada was removed from the board of directors of Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts. On 24 February 2012, Mr. Okada was removed from the board of directors of the Company and on 22 February 2013, he was removed from the board of directors of Wynn Resorts by a stockholder vote in which 99.6% of the over 86 million shares voted were cast in favour of removal. Additionally, Mr. Okada resigned from the board of directors of Wynn Resorts on 21 February 2013. Although the Wynn Resorts has retained the structure of the Executive Committee, the Wynn Resorts’ board of directors has resumed its past role in managing the business and affairs of Wynn Resorts.


 
151Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Determination of unsuitability and redemption of Aruze USA, Inc. and affi liates (continued) Based on the board of directors of Wynn Resorts’ fi nding of “unsuitability,” on 18 February 2012, Wynn Resorts redeemed and cancelled Aruze USA, Inc.’s 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts’ common stock. Following a fi nding of “unsuitability,” Article VII of Wynn Resorts’ articles of incorporation authorizes redemption at “fair value” of the shares held by unsuitable persons. Wynn Resorts engaged an independent fi nancial advisor to assist in the fair value calculation and concluded that a discount to the then current trading price was appropriate because of, among other things, restrictions on most of the shares held by Aruze USA, Inc. under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (as defi ned below). Pursuant to its articles of incorporation, Wynn Resorts issued the redemption price promissory note (the “Redemption Note”) to Aruze USA, Inc. in redemption of the shares. The Redemption Note has a principal amount of US$1.94 billion (approximately HK$15.1 billion), matures on 18 February 2022 and bears interest at the rate of 2% per annum, payable annually in arrears on each anniversary of the date of the Redemption Note. Wynn Resorts may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time, and without penalty or premium, prepay the whole or any portion of the principal or interest due under the Redemption Note. In no instance shall any payment obligation under the Redemption Note be accelerated except in the sole and absolute discretion of Wynn Resorts or as specifi cally mandated by law. The indebtedness evidenced by the Redemption Note is and shall be subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Redemption Note, to the prior payment in full of all existing and future obligations of Wynn Resorts or any of its affi liates in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind or nature. Wynn Resorts provided the Freeh Report to appropriate regulators and law enforcement agencies and has been cooperating with related investigations that such regulators and agencies have undertaken. The conduct of the Okada Parties and any resulting regulatory investigations could have adverse consequences to Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries. A fi nding by regulatory authorities that Mr. Okada violated anti-corruption statutes and/or other laws or regulations applicable to persons affi liated with a gaming licensee on Wynn Resorts property and/or otherwise involved Wynn Resorts in criminal or civil violations could result in actions by regulatory authorities against Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries.


 
152 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Redemption Action and Counterclaim On 19 February 2012, Wynn Resorts fi led a complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada against the Okada Parties (as amended, the “Complaint”), alleging breaches of fi duciary duty and related claims (the “Redemption Action”) arising from the activities addressed in the Freeh Report. Wynn Resorts is seeking compensatory and special damages as well as a declaration that it acted lawfully and in full compliance with its articles of incorporation, bylaws and other governing documents in redeeming and cancelling the shares of Aruze USA, Inc. On 12 March 2012, the Okada Parties removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the action was subsequently remanded to Nevada state court). On that same date, the Okada Parties fi led an answer denying the claims and a counterclaim (as amended, the “Counterclaim”) that purports to assert claims against Wynn Resorts, each of the members of the Wynn Resorts’ board of directors (other than Mr. Okada) and Wynn Resorts’ General Counsel (the “Wynn Parties”). The Counterclaim alleges, among other things: (1) that the shares of Wynn Resorts common stock owned by Aruze USA, Inc. were exempt from the redemption-for-unsuitability provisions in the Wynn Resorts articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) pursuant to certain agreements executed in 2002; (2) that the Wynn Resorts directors who authorized the redemption of Aruze USA, Inc.’s shares acted at the direction of Mr. Stephen A.Wynn and did not independently and objectively evaluate the Okada Parties’ suitability, and by so doing, breached their fi duciary duties; (3) that the Wynn Resorts directors violated the terms of the Wynn Resorts Articles by failing to pay Aruze USA, Inc. fair value for the redeemed shares; and (4) that the terms of the Redemption Note that Aruze USA, Inc. received in exchange for the redeemed shares, including the Redemption Note’s principal amount, duration, interest rate, and subordinated status, were unconscionable. Among other relief, the Counterclaim seeks a declaration that the redemption of Aruze USA, Inc.’s shares was void, an injunction restoring Aruze USA, Inc.’s share ownership, damages in an unspecifi ed amount and rescission of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of 6 January 2010, by and among Aruze USA, Inc., Mr. Stephen A. Wynn and Ms. Elaine P. Wynn (the “Stockholders Agreement”).


 
153Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Redemption Action and Counterclaim (continued) On 19 June 2012, Ms. Elaine P. Wynn responded to the Counterclaim and asserted a cross claim against Mr. Stephen A. Wynn and Mr. Kazuo Okada seeking a declaration that (1) any and all of Ms. Elaine P. Wynn’s duties under the Stockholders Agreement be discharged; (2) the Stockholders Agreement is subject to rescission and is rescinded; (3) the Stockholders Agreement is an unreasonable restraint on alienation in violation of public policy; and/or (4) the restrictions on sale of shares shall be construed as inapplicable to Ms. Elaine P. Wynn. Mr. Wynn fi led his answer to Ms. Elaine P. Wynn’s cross claim on 24 September 2012. The Indentures for the Issuers (i.e. together, for any and all of the outstanding US$500 million (approximately HK$3.9 billion) aggregate principal amount of the 2017 notes of Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, Limited) provide that if Mr. Stephen A. Wynn, together with certain related parties, in the aggregate benefi cially owns a lesser percentage of the outstanding common stock of Wynn Resorts than are benefi cially owned by any other person, a change of control will have occurred. If Ms. Elaine P. Wynn prevails in her cross claim, Mr. Stephen A. Wynn would not benefi cially own or control Ms. Elaine P. Wynn’s shares and a change in control may result under Wynn Resorts’ debt documents. Under the indentures for Wynn Resorts’ 77/8% fi rst mortgage notes due 2020 and 73⁄4% fi rst mortgage notes due 2020, the occurrence of a change of control requires that Wynn Resorts make an offer to each holder to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes purchased, if any, to the date of repurchase (unless the notes have been previously called for redemption). Under the indenture for Wynn Resorts’ 41/4% senior notes due 2023, if a change of control occurs and within 60 days after that occurrence the 41/4% senior notes are rated below investment grade by both rating agencies that rate such notes, Wynn Resorts is required to make an offer to each holder to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes purchased, if any, to the date of repurchase (unless the notes have been previously called for redemption). Mr. Wynn is opposing Ms. Wynn’s cross claim.


 
154 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Redemption Action and Counterclaim (continued) Wynn Resorts’ Complaint and the Okada Parties’ Counterclaim have been and continued to be, challenged through motion practice. At a hearing held on 13 November 2012, the Nevada state court granted the Wynn Parties’ motion to dismiss the Counterclaim with respect to the Okada Parties’ claims under the Nevada Racketeer Infl uenced and Corrupt Organizations Act with respect to certain Wynn Resorts executives but otherwise denied the motion. At a hearing held on 15 January 2013, the court denied the Okada Parties’ motion to dismiss Wynn Resorts’ Complaint. On 22 April 2013, Wynn Resorts fi led a second amended complaint. On 30 August 2013, the Okada Parties fi led their third amended Counterclaim. On 18 September 2013, Wynn Resorts fi led a Partial Motion to Dismiss related to a claim in the third amended Counterclaim alleging civil extortion by Mr. Wynn and Wynn Resorts’ General Counsel. On 29 October 2013, the court granted the motion and dismissed the claim. On 26 November 2013, the Okada Parties fi led their fourth amended Counterclaim, and Wynn Resorts fi led an answer to that pleading on 16 December 2013. The parties had been engaged in discovery at the time the court entered the Stay (defi ned and discussed below). Therefore, although the court previously set a timetable for all discovery, pre-trial and trial deadlines, with a fi ve-week jury trial scheduled to commence in April 2014, this schedule will necessarily change due to the Stay. On 13 February 2013, the Okada Parties fi led a motion in the Nevada state court asking the court to establish an escrow account (specifi cally, they asked the court to establish a “disputed ownership fund” as defi ned in a federal tax regulation (“DOF”) to hold the Redemption Note), as well as the redeemed shares themselves (although those shares were previously cancelled in February 2012), until the resolution of the Redemption Action and Counterclaim. The Okada Parties subsequently fi led reply papers in further support of their motion, in which they narrowed the relief they were seeking, specifi cally by withdrawing their request that the redeemed shares be placed into the escrow account. On 17 April 2013, the court entered an order granting the Okada Parties’ motion in part as to the narrowed relief outlined in their reply papers. Among other things, the court’s order directed the Okada Parties to establish an escrow account with a third party (without making any ruling as to whether such an account would satisfy the requirements of a DOF) to hold interest payments tendered by Wynn Resorts on the Redemption Note. Per the court’s order, Wynn Resorts is to have no responsibility for fees or costs of the account, and will receive a full release and indemnity related to the account. On each of 14 February 2013 and 13 February 2014, Wynn Resorts issued checks to Aruze USA, Inc. in the amount of US$38.7 million (approximately HK$310.8 million), representing the interest payments due on the Redemption Note at those times. However, those checks were not cashed. The parties engaged in discussions regarding the terms of the escrow agreement contemplated by the court’s order. However, the Okada Parties recently advised of their intent to deposit any checks for interest and principal, past and future, due under the terms of the Redemption Note to the Clerk of the Court for deposit into the Clerk’s Trust Account. On 17 March 2014, the parties stipulated that the checks be returned to Wynn Resorts for reissue in the same amounts, payable to the Clerk of the Court for deposit into the Clerk’s Trust Account. Pursuant to the stipulation, on 20 March 2014, Wynn Resorts delivered to the Clerk of the Court the reissued checks for deposit into the Clerk’s Trust Account and fi led a Notice with the Court with respect to the same.


 
155Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Redemption Action and Counterclaim (continued) On 8 April 2013, the United States Attorney’s Offi ce and the U.S. Department of Justice fi led a Motion to Intervene and for Temporary and Partial Stay of Discovery in the Redemption Action. The motion stated that the federal government has been conducting a criminal investigation of the Okada Parties involving the “same underlying allegations of misconduct — that is, potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act and related fraudulent conduct — that form the basis of” Wynn Resorts’ complaint, as amended, in the Redemption Action. The motion sought to stay all discovery in the Redemption Action related to the Okada Parties’ allegedly unlawful activities in connection with their casino project in the Philippines until the conclusion of the criminal investigation and any resulting criminal prosecution, with an interim status update to the court in six months. At a hearing on 2 May 2013, the court granted the motion and ordered that all discovery in the Redemption Action be stayed for a period of six months (the “Stay”). On 30 May 2013, Ms. Elaine P. Wynn fi led a motion for partial relief from the Stay, to allow her to conduct limited discovery related to her cross and counterclaims. The Wynn Parties opposed the motion so as to not interfere with the United States government’s investigation. At a hearing on 1 August 2013, the court denied the motion. On 29 October 2013, the United States Attorney’s Offi ce and the U.S. Department of Justice fi led a Motion to Extend the Stay for a period of six months, expiring 2 May 2014. At a hearing on 31 October 2013, the court granted the requested extension based upon an affi davit provided under seal that outlined, among other things, concerns for witness safety. The court did, however, order the parties to exchange written discovery propounded prior to 2 May 2013, including discovery related to the Elaine P. Wynn cross and counterclaims referred to above. Subject to the Stay, Wynn Resorts will continue to vigorously pursuing its claims against the Okada Parties, and Wynn Resorts and the Wynn Parties will continue to vigorously defend against the counterclaims asserted against them. Wynn Resorts’ claims and the Okada Parties’ counterclaims remain in an early stage and management of Wynn Resorts has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. An adverse judgment or settlement involving payment of a material amount could cause a material adverse effect on Wynn Resorts’ fi nancial condition.


 
156 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Litigation commenced by Kazuo Okada Japan action On 28 August 2012, Mr. Okada, Universal Entertainment Corporation and Okada Holdings (“Okada Japan Parties”) fi led a complaint in Tokyo District Court against Wynn Resorts, all members of the board of directors of Wynn Resorts (other than Mr. Okada) and Wynn Resorts’ General Counsel (the “Wynn Parties”), alleging that the press release issued by Wynn Resorts with respect to the redemption has damaged plaintiffs’ social evaluation and credibility. The Okada Japan Parties seek damages and legal fees from the Wynn Parties. After asking the Okada Japan Parties to clarify the allegations in their complaint, the Wynn Parties objected to the jurisdiction of the Japanese court. On 30 April 2013, the Wynn Parties fi led a memorandum in support of their jurisdictional position. On 21 October 2013, the court dismissed the action on jurisdictional grounds. On 1 November 2013, the Okada Japan Parties fi led an appeal moving the matter to the Tokyo High Court. An informal hearing on the matter was scheduled for 27 February 2014. The hearing was subsequently moved to 24 April 2014. Indemnifi cation action On 20 March 2013, Mr. Okada fi led a complaint against Wynn Resorts in Nevada state court for indemnifi cation under Wynn Resorts Articles, bylaws and agreements with its directors. The complaint seeks advancement of Mr. Okada’s costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred pursuant to the various legal proceedings and related regulatory investigations described above. Wynn Resorts believes there is no basis for the relief requested in the complaint and intends to vigorously defend against this matter. Wynn Resorts’ answer and counterclaim was fi led on 15 April 2013. The counterclaim names each of the Okada Parties as defendants and seeks indemnifi cation under Wynn Resorts’ Articles for costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred pursuant to the various legal proceedings and related regulatory investigations described above. On 30 April 2013, Mr. Okada fi led his reply to the counterclaim. On 14 June 2013, Mr. Okada fi led a motion for partial summary judgment that he was entitled to advancement of his expenses incurred in the various proceedings and investigations. Mr. Okada also fi led a special motion to dismiss, arguing that Wynn Resorts’ counterclaims seek to infringe upon Mr. Okada’s right to petition the court, and constitute a strategic lawsuit against public policy. Wynn Resorts’ counterclaims seek only to enforce Wynn Resorts’ contractual right to indemnity under Article VII, Section 4 of Wynn Resorts’ Articles. At a hearing on 1 August 2013, the court denied both motions and provided for limited discovery (i.e., discovery that does not implicate any of the issues subject to the Stay entered in the Redemption Action). On 2 August 2013, the court stayed discovery in the indemnifi cation action related to the government investigations (consistent with the Stay in the Redemption Action), and ordered that all other discovery be conducted within ninety (90) days.


 
157Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Litigation commenced by Kazuo Okada (continued) Indemnifi cation action (continued) On 22 August 2013, Wynn Resorts noticed Mr. Okada’s deposition for 16 September 2013. Mr. Okada fi led a motion for protective order seeking to vacate his deposition, arguing that he did not have any information relevant to his claims for advancement of fees and/or indemnity that he asserted against Wynn Resorts. On 18 October 2013, after a full briefi ng by the parties, the court denied Mr. Okada’s motion and entered an order stating that Mr. Okada’s deposition testimony is relevant to the claims he asserted against Wynn Resorts, that Mr. Okada may not designate someone else to testify on his behalf, and that Wynn Resorts may sequence discovery in the action as it chooses. On 4 February 2014, the court entered an order on the parties’ stipulation that: (1) dismissed Okada’s claims asserted against Wynn Resorts in that action (i.e., all Okada’s claims that relate to advancement); (2) reserved Okada’s right to assert, in the future, any claims for indemnity following the resolution of the Redemption Action; and (3) stayed the claims asserted by Wynn Resorts against Okada in that action pending the resolution of the Redemption Action. Related investigations and derivative litigation Investigations In the U.S. Department of Justice’s Motion to Intervene and for Temporary and Partial Stay of Discovery in the Redemption Action, the Department of Justice states in a footnote that the government also has been conducting a criminal investigation into Wynn Resorts’ donation to the University of Macau discussed above. Wynn Resorts has not received any target letter or subpoena in connection with such an investigation. Wynn Resorts intends to cooperate fully with the government in response to any inquiry related to the donation to the University of Macau. Other regulators may pursue separate investigations into Wynn Resorts’ compliance with applicable laws arising from the allegations in the matters described above and in response to the Counterclaim and other litigation fi led by Mr. Okada suggesting improprieties in connection with Wynn Resorts’ donation to the University of Macau. While Wynn Resorts believes that it is in full compliance with all applicable laws, any such investigations could result in actions by regulators against Wynn Resorts.


 
158 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Related investigations and derivative litigation (continued) Derivative claims Six derivative actions were commenced against Wynn Resorts and all members of its board of directors: four in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, and two in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The four federal actions brought by the following plaintiffs have been consolidated: (1) The Louisiana Municipal Police Employees’ Retirement System, (2) Maryanne Solak, (3) Excavators Union Local 731 Welfare Fund, and (4) Boilermakers Lodge No. 154 Retirement Fund (collectively, the “Federal Plaintiffs”). The Federal Plaintiffs fi led a consolidated complaint on 6 August 2012, asserting claims for: (1) breach of fi duciary duty; (2) waste of corporate assets; (3) injunctive relief; and (4) unjust enrichment. The claims are against Wynn Resorts and all of Wynn Resorts’ directors, including Mr. Okada, however, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed Mr. Okada as a defendant in this consolidated action on 27 September 2012. The Federal Plaintiffs claim that the individual defendants breached their fi duciary duties and wasted assets by: (a) failing to ensure Wynn Resorts’ offi cers and directors complied with federal and state laws and Wynn Resorts’ Code of Conduct; (b) voting to allow Wynn Resorts’ subsidiary to make the donation to the University of Macau; and (c) redeeming Aruze USA, Inc.’s stock such that Wynn Resorts incurs the debt associated with the redemption. The Federal Plaintiffs seek unspecifi ed compensatory damages, restitution in the form of disgorgement, reformation of corporate governance procedures, an injunction against all future payments related to the donation/pledge, and all fees (attorneys, accountants, and experts) and costs. The directors responded to the consolidated complaint by fi ling a motion to dismiss on 14 September 2012.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Litigation (continued) Related investigations and derivative litigation (continued) Derivative claims (continued) The State Plaintiffs fi led a consolidated complaint on 20 July 2012 asserting claims for (1) breach of fi duciary duty; (2) abuse of control; (3) gross mismanagement; and (4) unjust enrichment. The claims are against Wynn Resorts and all of Wynn Resorts’ directors, including Mr. Okada, as well as Wynn Resorts’ Chief Financial Offi cer, who signs fi nancial disclosures fi led with the SEC. The State Plaintiffs claim that the individual defendants failed to disclose to Wynn Resorts’ stockholders the investigation into, and the dispute with director Okada as well as the alleged potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act related to, the University of Macau Development Foundation donation. The State Plaintiffs seek unspecifi ed monetary damages (compensatory and punitive), disgorgement, reformation of corporate governance procedures, an order directing Wynn Resorts to internally investigate the donation, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. On 13 October 2012, the court entered the parties’ stipulation providing for a stay of the state derivative action for 90 days, subject to the parties’ obligation to monitor the progress of the pending litigation, discussed above, between Wynn Resorts (among others) and Mr. Okada (among others). Per the stipulation, Wynn Resorts and the individual defendants were not required to respond to the consolidated complaint while the stay remained in effect. Following the expiration of the stay, the State Plaintiffs advised Wynn Resorts and the individual defendants that they intended to resume the action by fi ling an amended complaint, which they did, on 26 April 2013. Wynn Resorts and directors fi led their motion to dismiss on 10 June 2013. However, on 31 July 2013, the parties agreed to a stipulation that was submitted to, and approved by the court. The stipulation contemplates a stay of the consolidated state court derivative action of equal duration as the Stay entered by the court in the Redemption Action. On 5 February 2014, the court entered a new stipulation between the parties that provides for a further stay of the state derivative action and directs the parties, within 30 days of the conclusion of the stay in the Redemption Action, to discuss how the state derivative action should proceed and to fi le a joint report with the court. The individual defendants are vigorously defending against the claims pleaded against them in these derivative actions. Wynn Resorts is unable to predict the outcome of these litigations at this time.

164 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 29. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) The fair values of the non-current portion of fi nancial liabilities included in other payables and accruals, land premium payables, and interest-bearing bank loans have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash fl ows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The non-current portion of other liabilities and construction retention payable were not discounted as the discounting factors were considered by management to be insignifi cant. 30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group’s principal fi nancial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise bank loans, accounts payable and other payables. The main purpose of these fi nancial liabilities is to fi nance the Group’s construction activities and its operations. The Group has various fi nancial assets such as trade receivables and cash and deposits, which arise directly from its operations. The Group also enters into derivative transactions, primarily interest rate swaps contracts. The purpose is to manage the interest rate risks arising from the Group’s operations and its sources of fi nance. It is, and has been throughout 2013 and 2012, the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives should be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group’s fi nancial instruments are cash fl ow interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below. Interest rate risk The Group’s primary exposure is changes in market interest rates associated with its bank loans that bear interest based on variable rates. The Group attempts to manage interest rate risk through interest rate swap arrangements. These risk management strategies may not always have the desired effect, and interest rate fl uctuations could have a negative impact on the results of operations.


 
165Annual Report 2013 Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) Interest rate sensitivity As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, all of the interest-bearing bank borrowings were variable rate borrowings based on LIBOR or HIBOR plus a margin. However, the Group has entered into interest rate swaps that effectively fi x the interest rate for approximately 79% of the interest- bearing bank borrowings as at 31 December 2013 (2012: 100%). Based on borrowings at 31 December 2013, an assumed 1% change in the variable rates would cause the annual interest expenses, without adjusting for any amounts to be capitalized, to change HK$15.5 million (2012: nil million) and would not have any effect on the Group’s equity (excluding retained earnings). Foreign currency risk The fi nancial statements of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars, the Company and the Group’s presentation currency, for incorporation into the consolidated fi nancial statements. Assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing foreign exchange rates in effect at the statement of fi nancial position date. Income, expenditure and cash fl ow items are measured at the actual foreign exchange rates or average foreign exchange rates for the period. The Hong Kong dollar is linked to the U.S. dollar and the exchange rate between these two currencies has remained relatively stable over the past several years. However, the exchange linkages of the Hong Kong dollar and the Macau pataca to the U.S. dollar, are subject to potential changes due to, among other things, changes in governmental policies and international economic and political developments. In particular, the Company and the Group are exposed to foreign exchange risks arising primarily with respect to the Offshore RMB, which does not have pegged exchange linkages to the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar or Macau pataca. Foreign currency sensitivity As at 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Group was in a net liability position where the Group had more liabilities than assets that were denominated in U.S. dollars. Based on the liability position at 31 December 2013, an assumed 1% increase or decrease in the value of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar would cause the Group to recognize a gain or loss of HK$16.4 million (2012: HK$10.4 million). As for Offshore RMB, the Company and the Group was in a net asset position where the Company and the Group had more assets than liabilities that were denominated in Offshore RMB. Based on the asset position at 31 December 2013, an assumed 1% increase or decrease in the value of the Hong Kong dollar against the Offshore RMB would cause the Company and the Group to recognize a loss or gain of HK$1.1 million (2012: HK$15.6 million).


 
166 Wynn Macau, Limited Financial Statements Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2013 30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) Credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable and available-for-sale investments. The Group issues credit in the form of markers to approved casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness. The Group maintains strict control over the issuance of markers and aggressively pursues collection from those customers who fail to pay their marker balances on a timely basis. These collection efforts may include the mailing of statements and delinquency notices, personal contacts, the use of outside collection agencies, and litigation. Markers are generally legally enforceable instruments in Macau, however, markers are not legally enforceable instruments in some other countries. The collectibility of markers given to foreign customers is affected by a number of factors including changes in currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the customers’ home countries. Further quantitative data in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are disclosed in note 15 to the fi nancial statements. For the debt securities classifi ed as available-for-sale investments, the maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying value as disclosed in note 11 to the fi nancial statements. Liquidity risk The Group measures and monitors its liquidity structure based on the overall assets, liabilities and debt in conjunction with its expected cash fl ows to ensure the capability to meet any unexpected and material cash requirements in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Group’s senior bank facility’s governing documents contain capital spending limits and other affi rmative and negative covenants which require the maintenance of secure capital procedures. As at 31 December 2013, the Group held available-for-sale investments and an interest rate swap at fair values with assets and liabilities measured at fair value for level 2 of HK$38.0 million and HK$79.9 million, respectively (2012: HK$421.8 million and HK$30.5 million, respectively), and the Group has not held any assets or liabilities measured at fair value for levels 1 and 3 during the years 2013 and 2012. Level 1 fair values are those measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical fi nancial instruments, level 2 fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar fi nancial instruments, or using valuation techniques in which all signifi cant inputs are directly or indirectly based on observable market data and level 3 fair values are those measured using valuation techniques in which any signifi cant input is not based on observable market data.

The amounts disclosed are based on the contractual undiscounted cash fl ows of fi nancial liabilities which include principal and interest payments. The maturities are calculated assuming the effect of interest rate swap arrangements and interest rates with respect to variable rate fi nancial liabilities remain constant as at respective year ends and there is no change in the aggregate principal amount of fi nancial liabilities other than repayment at scheduled maturities as refl ected in the table below.
