CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Wynn Resorts” or the “Company”), was formed in June 2002 and consummated an initial public offering on October 25, 2002. Wynn Resorts’ predecessor, Valvino Lamore, LLC (“Valvino”), was formed on April 21, 2000 (date of inception) as a Nevada limited liability company to purchase the Desert Inn Resort and Casino (the “Desert Inn”) for the site of the Company’s first casino resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, hereinafter referred to as “Wynn Las Vegas.”

 

In June 2002, Valvino’s indirect subsidiary, Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. (“Wynn Macau, S.A.”), entered into an agreement with the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”), granting Wynn Macau, S.A. the right to construct and operate one or more casino gaming properties in Macau. Wynn Macau, S.A.’s first casino resort in Macau is hereinafter referred to as “Wynn Macau.”

 

The Company commenced operations with the opening of Wynn Las Vegas on April 28, 2005. The construction and development of Wynn Macau and the development of the Company’s expansion of Wynn Las Vegas, known as “Encore at Wynn Las Vegas” or “Encore,” are ongoing. For the periods presented prior to and including April 27, 2005, the Company was solely a development stage company.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in the 50%-owned joint ventures operating the Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership and the Brioni mens’ retail clothing store inside Wynn Las Vegas are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation. During 2005, the Company recorded the amounts reimbursed by executive officers of the Company for use of the corporate aircraft in preopening expenses as a reduction of the cost of operating the aircraft. Previously, such amounts had been recorded as revenues in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Approximately $44,000 and $107,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 were reclassified from revenues to preopening expenses to conform to the 2005 presentation. The reclassification had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Accounts receivable and credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues credit in the form of “markers” to approved casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness. At June 30, 2005, approximately 47% of the

Table of Contents

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

Company’s receivables were due from customers residing in foreign countries. Business or economic conditions or other significant events in these countries could affect the collectibility of such receivables.

 

Accounts receivable, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing and are initially recorded at cost. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Company’s receivables to their carrying amount, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based on specific review of customer accounts as well as management’s prior experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions. Management believes that, as of June 30, 2005, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which an allowance had not already been recorded.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had total accounts receivable of $55.5 million, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $8.5 million. Casino marker receivables, hotel receivables and other receivables as of June 30, 2005 totaled $45.5 million, $12.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition and promotional allowances

 

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 the customers’ possession. Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other operating revenues are recognized when services are performed. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as accrued liabilities until services are provided to the customer.

 

Revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus on Issue 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).” EITF 01-9 requires that sales incentives be recorded as a reduction of revenue; consequently, the Company’s casino revenues are reduced by discounts and points earned in customer loyalty programs, such as the slot club loyalty program.

 

The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily included in casino expenses as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Rooms

   $ 4,150

Food & beverage

     9,981

Entertainment, retail and other

     2,258
    

     $ 16,389
    

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs the first time the advertising runs. Advertising expense was, prior to opening Wynn Las Vegas, included in preopening expenses. From opening on April 28, 2005, advertising costs are included in general and administrative expenses. Total advertising expenses were $8.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Advertising expenses were $765,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment.” This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services or incurs a liability in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. It requires an entity to measure the costs of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize that cost over the service period. This statement, according to Securities and Exchange Commission rule, is effective January 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the methodology to be used in measuring the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, as well as the impact that adoption of this statement will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

3. Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” SFAS No. 128 provides for the reporting of “basic”, or undiluted earnings per share (“EPS”), and “diluted” EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the addition of potentially dilutive securities. For all periods presented, the Company has recorded net losses. As a result, basic EPS is equal to diluted EPS for all periods presented. The calculation of diluted EPS at June 30, 2005 excludes the following anti-dilutive securities: 2,674,300 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 1,033,892 shares under restricted stock grants that have not yet vested and 10,869,550 shares issuable upon conversion of the 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015 (the “Debentures”). The calculation of diluted EPS at June 30, 2004 excludes the following anti-dilutive securities: 2,050,500 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 1,328,061 shares under restricted stock grants that have not yet vested and 10,869,550 shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures.

 

4. Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation plan to provide incentive compensation for directors, officers, key employees and consultants. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123,” the Company continues to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock-based compensation. Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized only to the extent that the market value at the date of grant exceeds the exercise price. The following table illustrates the effect on the net loss if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to stock-based employee compensation (amounts in thousands).

to the Company for an annual fee of one dollar ($1).

Under the parties’ Surname Rights Agreement, Mr. Wynn granted the Company an exclusive, fully paid-up, perpetual, worldwide license to use, and to own and register trademarks and service marks incorporating the “Wynn” name for casino resorts and related businesses, together with the right to sublicense the name and marks to its affiliates.

Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities

 

Wynn Las Vegas, LLC borrowed the remaining $373.4 million available under its delay draw term loan facility during the first quarter of 2005, as required under the agreements governing its credit facilities. The total $400 million of proceeds funded a portion of the total cost of the construction of Wynn Las Vegas.

 

During the second quarter of 2005, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, amended certain agreements pertaining to its credit facilities, specifically its Credit Agreement and its Master Disbursement Agreement, to among other things, (i) increase the limitation on expenditures for Encore project costs from $950 million to $1.4 billion; (ii) under certain circumstances, increase the annual limitation on capital expenditures for the year 2008 and each year thereafter from $120 million to $160 million; (iii) permit a transfer of up to five acres of the land currently owned by Wynn Golf, LLC, but not being used for the Wynn Las Vegas golf course, to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC for use in connection with Encore; (iv) extend the deadlines for certain deliverables related to Encore from various dates beginning April 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005; and (v) extend the dates for the opening and final completion of Encore to September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company is in compliance with all of the covenants governing its debts facilities.

 

Note Payable - Aircraft

 

As provided for in Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s credit facilities, on May 24, 2005, World Travel, LLC, a subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, borrowed an aggregate amount of $44.75 million under term loans which

 

11


Table of Contents

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

terminate and are payable in full on May 24, 2010. The term loans are guaranteed by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and secured by a first priority security interest in World Travel, LLC’s corporate aircraft. Principal and interest is payable quarterly and interest is calculated at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 2.375%. In addition to scheduled amortization payments, the Company is required to prepay the loans if certain events of loss with respect to the aircraft occur. Beginning on December 31, 2006, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the loans subject to a minimum prepayment of $10.0 million.

 

Wynn Las Vegas Interest Rate Swaps

 

On December 14, 2004, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC terminated two interest rate swaps. As a result, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC received approximately $9.6 million in settlement of the related asset, which is being amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income to reduce interest expense over the original contract life of the two interest rate swaps. Approximately $1.2 million and $2.4 million was amortized against interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

 

Also on December 14, 2004, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC entered into two new interest rate swap arrangements to hedge the underlying interest rate risk on the $400.0 million of term loan borrowings outstanding under the new credit facilities, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.125%. Under each of these two new interest rate swap arrangements, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC receives payments at a variable rate of LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 3.793% on $200 million notional amount set forth in each of the swap instruments through December 2008. The interest rate swaps are expected to be effective as hedging instruments as long as sufficient term loan borrowings are outstanding, and effectively fix the interest rate on these borrowings at approximately 5.918%. Any ineffectiveness will increase the Company’s recorded interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company recorded in other assets the fair value of the net effect of the two new interest rate swaps of approximately $2.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million compared to the value of $583,000 at December 31, 2004. Because there has been no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship, the corresponding change in fair value of equal amount is reported in other comprehensive income.

 

The fair value approximates the amount the Company would receive 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. Therefore, the fair value is subject to significant estimation and a high degree of variability of fluctuation between periods.

 

9. Stockholders’ Equity

 

On February 3, 2005, the Company granted an aggregate of 275,000 shares of restricted stock to two of its executive officers. These shares vest in five equal annual installments beginning on December 15, 2005. The market price of the Company’s common stock on February 3, 2005 was $67.40 per share. Consequently, the aggregate value of these grants at the grant date was approximately $18.5 million. This amount will be amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period.

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Wynn Las Vegas

 

Construction. On April 28, 2005, Wynn Las Vegas opened to the public and construction was virtually complete. As of June 30, 2005, certain minor construction activities, primarily punchlist items and completion of

a theater, continue. We expect that the total project cost will be in the range of $2.7 to $2.75 billion, however, consistent with large-scale construction projects, determination of the final Wynn Las Vegas project cost is subject to a complete accounting after the date of final completion (as defined in the contract with the general contractor), which will occur in late 2005.

 

Through June 30, 2005, the Company had funded approximately $2.66 billion of Wynn Las Vegas project costs. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had certain restricted cash balances for Wynn Las Vegas, including a $50.0 million completion guarantee balance and a $30.0 million liquidity reserve, and availability under its credit facilities. The Company believes such balances and availability will be sufficient to pay the final project costs of Wynn Las Vegas.

 

Encore Development. Due to the strong demand for Wynn Las Vegas, continued strength in the Las Vegas market, and the Company’s desire to maximize the potential of its substantial real estate assets, the Company continues to evaluate the scope of Encore as part of its overall master plan. The current Encore program features an approximately 1,550-room hotel tower fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas, consisting of approximately 300 suites and approximately 1,250 guest rooms. Encore will have additional entertainment venues, restaurants, nightclubs, swimming pools, casino gaming, a spa and salon, convention and meeting space, and retail outlets.

 

In June 2005, the Company received the necessary consents from the holders of its 6-5/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2014 (“First Mortgage Notes”) and the Company’s lenders to extend the deadline for approval of the budget, plans and specifications for Encore (the “Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications”) from June 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005 and to extend the outside date for completion of Encore from March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2008. The Company currently anticipates that Encore will open in the second or third quarter of 2008.

 

Although the budget has not been finalized and must be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company expects that the remaining proceeds from the First Mortgage Notes, together with availability under its existing credit facilities and cash flow from the operations of Wynn Las Vegas, will be sufficient to pay for expenditures of up to $1.4 billion, if needed on the Encore project without incurring additional debt or receiving additional capital contributions from Wynn Resorts. The availability of notes proceeds and funds under the credit agreement in excess of $100.0 million is subject to approval of the Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications by a majority of arrangers or lenders. Once the Company has finalized the scope and plans for Encore, it will seek the necessary approvals from its lenders.

 

Entertainment Productions. The Company has entered into long-term agreements with Productions Du Dragon, S.A., a production services company (“Dragon”), and Calitri Services and Licensing Limited Liability Company, its affiliated creative production company (“Calitri”), for the licensing, creation, development and executive production of the water-based production show at Wynn Las Vegas named “Le Rêve, A Small Collection of Imperfect Dreams.” Under these agreements, as amended, the Company paid certain up-front creation and licensing fees, production costs and, since opening of the production, pays royalties of up to 10% of net ticket revenues and 10% of gross retail sales, and 50% of the show profits to Dragon and Calitri as calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The term of each of the agreements is ten years after the opening date of the show with one five-year renewal option.

 

The Company also has an option with Dragon and Calitri for the development of a second production show for Wynn Las Vegas or for another project. The exercise of the option will require the payment of an additional $1.0 million and any additional project will require additional funds to develop.

In June 2004, the Company purchased the rights to stage “Avenue Q,” the Tony Award-winning musical production currently playing on Broadway in New York City. The Company also entered into a Production Services Agreement with Q Las Vegas, LLC, an affiliate of the New York producer, for all production services. The Company will present this show at Wynn Las Vegas’ second showroom, the Broadway Theater, which is scheduled to open on August 27, 2005.

 

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, other assets included $35.6 million and $32.9 million, respectively, of amounts paid or accrued for production rights and creation and development costs in conjunction with these entertainment agreements.

 

Wynn Macau

 

Under its casino concession agreement with the government of Macau, Wynn Macau, S.A. is obligated to invest 4.0 billion patacas (approximately US$500.0 million) in one or more casino projects in Macau by June 2009, and to commence operations of its first permanent casino resort in Macau no later than December 2006. If Wynn Macau, S.A. does not invest 4.0 billion patacas by June 26, 2009, it must invest the remaining amount in projects related to its gaming operations in Macau that the Macau government approves, or in projects of public interest designated by the Macau government. The initial phase of the Wynn Macau project, currently under construction and expected to open in the third quarter of 2006, has a budget of approximately $704.0 million, including contingencies but excluding up to $20.5 million of post-opening land concession payments anticipated to be funded from operating cash flows.

 

In June 2004, Wynn Macau, S.A. entered into a land concession contract for the Wynn Macau project site in Macau’s inner harbor area. Under the land concession contract, Wynn Macau, S.A. leases a parcel of approximately 16 acres from the government for an initial term of 25 years, with a right to renew for additional periods. Wynn Macau, S.A. has made two payments to the Macau government under the land concession contract totaling approximately $7.9 million and is required to make nine additional semi-annual payments (including interest) totaling approximately $34.8 million. Wynn Macau, S.A. also paid approximately $17.9 million to an unrelated third party for its relinquishment of rights to a portion of the land. During the term of the land concession contract, Wynn Macau, S.A. is required to make annual lease payments of up to $400,000.

 

Construction of Wynn Macau commenced in June 2004 under a guaranteed maximum price construction contract between Wynn Macau, S.A. and Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited, China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) Limited and China Construction Engineering (Macau) Company Limited, acting together as general contractor. Under the construction contract, the general contractor is responsible for both the construction and design of the project (other than certain limited portions to be designed by an affiliate of Wynn Macau, S.A.) based on an existing scope of work and design specifications provided by Wynn Macau, S.A. The general contractor is obligated to substantially complete the project by August 27, 2006 for a guaranteed maximum price of approximately $285.0 million (including the contractors’ fee and contingency). The total design and construction costs are estimated to be approximately $425.4 million. Both the contract time and guaranteed maximum price are subject to further adjustment under the circumstances specified in the contract. The performance of the contractors is backed by a full completion guarantee given jointly and severally by Leighton Holdings Limited and China Overseas Holdings Limited, the parent companies of the contracting entities, as well as a performance bond issued by a bank in an amount equal to $28.5 million.

 

Through June 30, 2005, Wynn Macau, S.A. had funded approximately $205.7 million of the total $704.0 million of budgeted project costs. As of June 30, 2005, currently approved project costs still to be incurred

totaled approximately $498.3 million. These costs are being and will be funded from the existing cash balances of Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries in the form of base equity loans and subordinated funding, as well as the available Wynn Macau credit facilities. In addition, the Company has $30.0 million of long-term restricted cash reserved as contingent equity and a $30.0 million contingent debt facility from Wynn Macau, S.A.’s lenders.

 

In September 2004, in connection with the financing of the Wynn Macau project, Wynn Macau, S.A. entered into a Bank Guarantee Reimbursement Agreement with Banco Nacional Ultramarino (“BNU”) for a guarantee in the amount of 700.0 million patacas (approximately US$87.0 million). This guarantee, which is for the benefit of the Macau government, assures Wynn Macau, S.A.’s performance under the casino concession agreement, including the payment of premiums, fines and indemnity for any material failure to perform the concession agreement. To secure the guarantee, Wynn Macau, S.A. originally deposited $50.0 million of the $230.0 million base equity funding with BNU. As of June 30, 2005, however, Wynn Macau, S.A. has funded approximately $16.3 million of its project costs with funds from the $50 million on deposit with BNU. The guarantee is further secured by a second priority security interest in the senior lender collateral package. From and after repayment of all indebtedness under the senior bank facilities, Wynn Macau, S.A. is obligated to promptly, upon demand by BNU, repay any claim made on the guarantee by the Macau government. BNU will be paid an annual fee for the guarantee not to exceed approximately 12.3 million patacas (approximately US$1.5 million).

 

The Company is finalizing the design for an estimated $345.0 million expansion of Wynn Macau on approximately five acres of the Wynn Macau site. The Company is increasing the Wynn Macau senior debt facilities to finance the expansion and has engaged several lenders to arrange for the financing, which the Company expects to close in the third quarter of 2005.

 

Leases

 

The Company is the lessor under leases for five retail outlets and entered into license and distribution agreements for five additional retail outlets, and joint venture agreements for the operation of one other retail outlet and the Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership at Wynn Las Vegas. Each of these retail outlets opened concurrently with the opening of Wynn Las Vegas. In connection with these arrangements, Wynn Las Vegas provided some of the retail tenants an allowance for improvements. These improvement allowances were included in the budgeted costs to construct Wynn Las Vegas.

 

In addition to the above, the Company is the lessee under several leases for office space, warehouse facilities, the land underlying the Company’s aircraft hangar and certain office equipment. The Company also leases land from the government of Macau for the site of Wynn Macau.

 

Self-insurance

 

The Company’s domestic subsidiaries are covered under a self-insured medical plan up to a maximum of $200,000 per year for each insured person. Amounts in excess of these thresholds are covered by the Company’s insurance programs, subject to customary policy limits. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries are fully-insured.

 

Employment Agreements

 

The Company has entered into employment agreements with several executive officers, other members of management and certain key employees. These agreements generally have three- to five-year terms and typically indicate a base salary with specified annual increases, and often contain provisions for guaranteed bonuses.

(1) Wynn Macau is currently in the development stage and therefore has no revenues or adjusted EBITDA.
(2) “Adjusted Property EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, preopening and corporate expenses, losses on sales of assets, losses from incidental operations, and other non operating income and expenses. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the operating performance of its segments—Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau—and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors. Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, as an indicator of the Company’s performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, preopening costs, interest payments and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, other companies may calculate Adjusted Property EBITDA in a different manner than the Company.

12. Subsequent Events

 

Additional Entertainment Production

 

On July 20, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Spamalot, LLC to produce and present “Monty Python’s Spamalot” in a new theater to be constructed at the Wynn Las Vegas casino resort. The new theater is expected to be adjacent to the existing Wynn Theater and will include a merchandise store, food and beverage facilities and a themed “Spamalot Environment.” Under the agreement, the Company is responsible for construction of the theater and related facilities, as well as advancing the initial production costs. The Company expects that these costs, together with certain rights fees, will exceed $50 million. The construction cost and completion date for the theater, and the opening date for the production, have not yet been determined.

 

13. Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantors and Issuers

 

The following consolidating financial statements present information related to Wynn Resorts (the “Parent”), which is the issuer of the Debentures, Wynn Resorts Funding, LLC (the “Convertible Debentures Guarantor”) and non-guarantor subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

 

The following condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in the provided form because: (i) the Convertible Debentures Guarantor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent; (ii) the guarantee is considered to be full and unconditional, that is, if the Parent fails to make a scheduled payment, the Convertible Debentures Guarantor is obligated to make the scheduled payment immediately and, if it does not, any holder of the Debentures may immediately bring suit directly against this Guarantor for payment of all amounts due and payable; and (iii) the guarantee is joint and several.

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and the condensed notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements relating to our business strategy and development activities as well as other capital spending, financing sources, the effects of regulation (including gaming and tax regulations), expectations concerning future operations, margins, profitability and competition. Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, conditions precedent to funding under the agreement governing the disbursement of the proceeds of certain of our debt and equity offerings and borrowings under our credit facilities, competition in the casino/hotel and resort industries, completion of our Wynn Macau casino resort on time and within budget, our intention to fund a substantial portion of the development and construction costs of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (“Encore”) with anticipated cash flows generated at our Wynn Las Vegas casino resort, doing business in foreign locations such as Macau (including the risks associated with Macau’s developing gaming regulatory framework), new development and construction activities of competitors, our lack of operating history, our dependence on Stephen A. Wynn and existing management, our dependence on a limited number of properties for all of our cash flow, leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates), levels of travel, leisure and casino spending, general domestic or international economic conditions, pending or future legal proceedings, changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws, changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in certain jurisdictions), applications for licenses and approvals under applicable jurisdictional laws and regulations (including gaming laws and regulations), the impact that an outbreak of an infectious disease, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (“SARS”) or the impact of a natural disaster, such as the tsunami which struck southeast Asia in December 2004, may have on the travel and leisure industry, and the consequences of the war in Iraq and other military conflicts in the Middle East and any future security alerts and/or terrorist attacks. Further information on potential factors that could affect our financial condition, results of operations and business are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

 

Overview

 

Wynn Las Vegas, our first casino resort, opened on April 28, 2005. Including the on-site golf course, the resort occupies approximately 217 acres of land fronting the Las Vegas Strip and utilizes approximately 18 additional acres across Sands Avenue for employee parking. Wynn Las Vegas offers 2,716 rooms and suites, an approximately 111,000 square foot casino, 22 food and beverage outlets, an 18-hole golf course, approximately 223,000 square feet of meeting space, a Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership and approximately 76,000 square feet of retail space. Until the opening of Wynn Las Vegas, we were solely a development stage company.

 

We are developing and constructing Wynn Macau, a destination casino resort in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the Peoples’ Republic of China (“Macau”). Wynn Macau will initially utilize

Table of Contents

approximately 11 acres of the approximately 16 acres of land leased by Wynn Macau, S.A. from the government of Macau in Macau’s inner harbor area, opposite the Hotel Lisboa, Macau’s largest and best known casino and hotel. Wynn Macau will initially consist of approximately 600 hotel rooms, approximately 100,000 square feet of casino gaming space (including 200 table games and 350 slot machines), seven restaurants, approximately 28,000 square feet of retail space, a spa, a salon and entertainment facilities. We expect to open Wynn Macau in the third quarter of 2006.

 

In addition, we continue to develop the budget, plans and specifications for Encore and are finalizing the general scope and design and financing for an expansion of Wynn Macau.

 

We also have submitted a design concept to the Singapore government for the development of an integrated resort, including a casino, in Singapore and have been notified by the Singapore Tourism Board that we have been qualified to participate in the Request for Proposal for the integrated resort that is now expected to be issued by the Singapore Government in the third quarter of 2005.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates those estimates, including those relating to the estimated lives of depreciable assets, asset impairment, allowances for doubtful accounts, accruals for customer loyalty rewards, self insurance, contingencies, litigation and other items. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and therefore actual results could differ from our estimates.

 

Construction and Development Estimates

 

During construction, direct construction and development costs, such as those incurred for the design and construction of the Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau hotels and casinos, the Wynn Las Vegas golf course and the Wynn Las Vegas water-based entertainment production, including interest, are capitalized. Accordingly, the recorded amounts of property and equipment increase significantly during the construction periods. Depreciation expense related to capitalized construction costs is recognized when the related assets are put in service. Accordingly, upon opening, we began recognizing depreciation on the fixed assets of Wynn Las Vegas. Depreciation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the corresponding assets as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements

   40 years

Parking garage

   15 years

Airplanes

   7 to 20 years

Furniture, fixtures, equipment and land improvements

   3 to 20 years

 

Costs of building repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of is eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operating income or loss.

 

In addition, during construction and development, preopening or start-up costs are expensed when incurred. Significant costs were incurred and charged to preopening expenses through the second quarter of 2005, as anticipated. Although Wynn Las Vegas opened on April 28, 2005, start-up costs relating to Encore and Wynn Macau will continue to be charged to preopening expenses.

Allowance for Estimated Doubtful Accounts Receivable

 

We maintain an allowance, or reserve, for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts, an operating expense, increases the allowance for doubtful accounts. Direct charge-offs decrease the allowance. We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a specific review of customer accounts as well as management’s prior experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions.

 

A substantial portion of our outstanding receivables relates to casino credit play. Credit play represents a significant portion of the table games volume at Wynn Las Vegas. We maintain strict controls over the issuance of markers and intend to aggressively pursue collection from those customers who fail to pay their marker balances timely. These collection efforts may include the mailing of statements and delinquency notices, personal contacts, the use of outside collection agencies, and civil litigation and criminal proceedings. Markers are generally legally enforceable instruments in the United States. Markers are not legally enforceable instruments in some foreign countries, but the United States assets of foreign customers may be used to satisfy judgments entered in the United States. At June 30, 2005, approximately 47% of our casino accounts receivable were owed by customers from foreign countries. The collectibility of markers given by foreign customers is affected by a number of factors including changes in currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the customers’ home countries.

 

Because individual customer account balances can be significant, the allowance and the provision can change significantly between periods, as information about a certain customer becomes known or as changes in a region’s economy or legal system occur.

 

Accruals

 

We estimate liabilities for certain self-insurance, customer loyalty program reward redemptions, contingencies, claims and litigation and other items, as appropriate. Management determines the adequacy of these estimates by reviewing the expected trends and from industry experience and adjusts the assumptions utilized as necessary.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment.” This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services or incurs a liability in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. It requires an entity to measure the costs of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize that cost over the service period. This statement, according to SEC rule, is effective January 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the methodology to be used in measuring the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, as well as the impact that adoption of this statement will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations

 

We offer gaming, hotel accommodations, dining, entertainment, retail shopping, convention services and other amenities at Wynn Las Vegas. The quality of the non-gaming amenities combined with our goal of providing an unparalleled total resort experience to our guests is expected to drive a premium in our non-gaming revenues. Consequently, we believe that revenues from our gaming activities will comprise a lower percentage of our total revenues than for many of our competitors.

 

We are currently reliant solely upon the operations of Wynn Las Vegas for our operating cash flow. Concentration of our cash flow in one property exposes us to certain risks that competitors, whose operations are more diversified, may be better able to control. In addition to the concentration of operations in a single property, many of our customers are high-end gaming customers who wager on credit, thus exposing us to increased credit risk. High-end gaming also increases the potential for variability in our results. Our interim period results will, to some degree, be affected by, among other things, major Las Vegas conventions, major sporting and other special events, and holidays; however, our operations are not expected to be highly impacted by seasonality.

 

We opened Wynn Las Vegas on April 28, 2005 and operated the casino resort for 64 days in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005. Prior to opening Wynn Las Vegas, we were a development stage company and had not commenced operations, nor generated any significant revenues. We believe that our results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are not indicative of results expected in the future.

 

Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $35.2 million, which represents a $6.7 million or 16% decrease from the net loss of $41.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $72.8 million, which represents a $17.6 million or 32% increase from the net loss of $55.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

We expect that the operating revenues and expenses of Wynn Las Vegas will increase when we operate for a full quarter. We also expect that our preopening expenses, which were a significant contributor to the net losses incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, will decrease in the near term. We will no longer incur preopening expenses associated with Wynn Las Vegas (excluding Encore), although preopening expenses relating to Encore, which to date have not been material, will increase as the scope and plans for Encore are completed, and preopening expenses associated with Wynn Macau will increase as the construction of Wynn Macau progresses.

(1) Wynn Macau is currently in the development stage and therefore has no revenues or adjusted EBITDA.
(2) “Adjusted Property EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening and corporate expenses, losses on sales of assets, losses from incidental operations, and other non operating income and expenses. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the operating performance of its segments:—Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau—and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors. Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, as an indicator of the Company’s performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, propening costs interest payments and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, other companies may calculate Adjusted Property EBITDA in a different manner than the Company.

Table of Contents

The 64 days of operations from the opening of Wynn Las Vegas on April 28, 2005 through June 30, 2005 have no comparisons to prior periods.

 

Wynn Las Vegas casino revenues were comprised of table games revenues, slot machine revenues and other gaming revenues of approximately $62.0 million, $34.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The average table games win per table per day was $7,117, and the average slot win per unit per day was $273. Table games win percentage (before discounts) was 21.1%, which is within the expected range of 18% to 22%. Slot win percentage was within the expected range of 5% to 6% of handle.

 

During the same period, Wynn Las Vegas room revenues were approximately $44.6 million. Average daily rate (“ADR”) and occupancy for that period were $284 and 90.1%, respectively, generating revenues per available room (“REVPAR”) of $255. Other non-gaming revenues included food and beverage revenues of approximately $48.1 million, retail revenues of approximately $16.9 million, entertainment revenues of approximately $9.6 million, and other revenues from outlets such as the spa and salon of approximately $8.2 million.

 

Wynn Las Vegas’ adjusted EBITDA was approximately $58.7 million. Included in adjusted EBITDA are direct departmental expenses not present in the corresponding 2004 periods. These departmental expenses include casino expenses of $42.3 million, rooms expenses of $11.8 million, food and beverage expenses of $33.7 million, and entertainment, retail and other expenses of $20.3 million. We believe we appropriately staffed Wynn Las Vegas to account for increased needs during this opening period and expect that natural staffing attrition will coincide with improvements in operating efficiencies.

 

Wynn Las Vegas’ preopening expenses increased by $28.1 million and $49.3 million or 321% and 310%, respectively, for the three and six month periods in 2005 compared to 2004, due primarily to a substantial increase in staffing required in the period immediately before the opening of Wynn Las Vegas.

 

Wynn Macau’s preopening expenses increased by $1.9 million and $2.1 million, or 83% and 46%, respectively, for the three and six month periods in 2005 compared to 2004, due primarily to the increased preopening activity commensurate with the progress of the Wynn Macau construction project. We expect that Wynn Macau’s preopening expenses will continue to increase in future periods as Wynn Macau’s construction and development continues, similar to the trend experienced with Wynn Las Vegas.

 

Wynn Las Vegas’ depreciation and amortization increased by $23.1 million and $23.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004, as a result of the opening of Wynn Las Vegas. During construction of Wynn Las Vegas, costs incurred in the construction of the buildings, improvements to land and the purchases of assets for use in operations were capitalized. Once Wynn Las Vegas opened and these assets were placed into service, we began recognizing the associated depreciation expenses. The depreciation expenses will continue throughout the estimated useful lives of these assets and are a function of the total number of operating days in the period. Consequently, we expect depreciation expenses to increase in future periods.

 

Wynn Macau’s depreciation and amortization expenses also increased by $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively for the three and six month periods in 2005, compared to 2004, due primarily to the amortization of the capitalized intangible assets associated with the Macau casino and land lease concessions. In September 2004, we purchased the 17.5% minority interest in Wynn Macau for 1,333,333 shares of Wynn Resorts’ common stock. We allocated $42.3 million of the value of the shares to the casino concession, which is charged to amortization expense over the concession’s term through June 2022. We also obtained a land lease concession during 2004, which we charge to depreciation and amortization over the 25-year lease term. Other than these charges to depreciation and amortization, Wynn Macau’s depreciation expenses will remain relatively insignificant until the resort opens and its assets are placed into service.

Table of Contents

Corporate expenses reflect costs such as salaries and other general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to our Wynn Las Vegas or Wynn Macau segments. Prior to opening Wynn Las Vegas, corporate expenses were reported as preopening expenses. Consequently the corporate expenses of approximately $5.0 million represent those unallocated expenses incurred during 64 days of operations.

 

Interest income increased by $5.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2004, due to the significant increase in the amount of cash balances available and invested from the remaining proceeds of our 6-5/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2014 (the “First Mortgage Notes”) and borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC credit facilities that were invested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004.

 

Interest expense, net, increased by $26.2 million and $28.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2004, due to the significant decrease in the amount of interest capitalized. During the construction of Wynn Las Vegas, a significant portion of the interest costs were capitalized. Upon opening Wynn Las Vegas, a substantial portion of our assets previously under construction were placed into service, and the majority of our interest cost was thereafter expensed.

 

Also, during 2004, we recorded a $25.6 million loss on the early retirement of $122.4 million of the original $370.0 million of 12% Second Mortgage Notes due 2010 (the “Second Mortgage Notes”). This loss resulted from the writeoff of associated deferred financing costs and original issue discount, as well as a 12% redemption premium, on the Second Mortgage Notes. Most of the remaining principal amount of the Second Mortgage Notes have since been repurchased.

 

Comprehensive loss of approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and the comprehensive income of approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased from the comprehensive income of $18.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, due to the changes in the fair value of our two interest rate swaps during each of those periods. We seek to manage the interest rate risk associated with our variable rate borrowings, through balancing fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings and the use of derivative financial instruments. Our interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges in accordance with prevailing accounting regulations. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we recorded approximately $2.5 million and $583,000 in other assets, respectively, to reflect their fair value. These fair value amounts approximate the amount we would pay or receive if these contracts were settled at these dates. The changes in fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, recorded as a component of comprehensive income during those periods, was primarily due to lower short-term interest rates at June 30, 2005, compared to those rates at March 31, 2005, but higher than those rates at December 31, 2004. 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. Therefore, the fair value is subject to significant estimation and a high degree of variability of fluctuation between periods.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash flows from operations

 

Wynn Las Vegas primarily conducts its operations on a cash basis. The exceptions are our high-end credit table games play and group hotel business. Consequently, operating cash flows are primarily affected by our operating income and changes in our casino marker and other accounts receivable. The operations of Wynn Las Vegas, offset primarily by significant preopening expenditures of $43.4 million and $81.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, resulted in net cash used in our operations of approximately $11.6 million and $17.5 million during those periods. We believe that current period cash flows from operations are not indicative of future results, primarily because of the preopening expenses that were incurred in connection with the opening of Wynn Las Vegas and included in the current periods.

Capital Resources

 

We have financed each of our casino resort projects separately at the subsidiaries that own and operate, or will own and operate, them. Although Wynn Las Vegas opened on April 28, 2005, consistent with large-scale construction projects, the final determination of and payment for the total project costs have not yet been completed. Determination of the final project cost is subject to a complete accounting after the date of final completion (as defined in the contract with the general contractor), which will occur in late 2005. We also are constructing Wynn Macau and developing plans for Encore and an expansion of Wynn Macau. At June 30, 2005, we had approximately $485.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. Approximately $310.1 million of these funds are uncommitted and available for general corporate purposes. In addition, we had approximately $592.0 million in restricted cash and investments from the proceeds of our debt and equity financings. The substantial majority of this amount is restricted for the final project costs of Wynn Las Vegas, the development and construction of Encore, the ongoing construction of Wynn Macau, and certain other specific costs in accordance with agreements governing our debt facilities. Approximately $501.0 million, including $80.0 million restricted for a Wynn Las Vegas liquidity reserve and completion guarantee ($30.0 million of which must be retained for Encore for a completion guarantee if the Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications are approved), is restricted for the remaining costs of Wynn Las Vegas and the construction, development and preopening expenses of Encore. Approximately $68.7 million is restricted for the ongoing development, construction and preopening expenses of Wynn Macau. Approximately $22.3 million is restricted for the semi-annual interest payments through July 15, 2007, on our 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015 (the “Debentures”). Cash equivalents are comprised of investments in overnight money market funds. Restricted investments are kept in money market funds or relatively short-term, government-backed, marketable debt securities as required by agreements governing the Company’s debt facilities.

 

Construction and Development

 

Wynn Las Vegas

 

Construction of Wynn Las Vegas was virtually complete by the opening on April 28, 2005. Certain minor construction, consisting primarily of punchlist items and completion of the Broadway theater, which will open in late August 2005, continues. Although a final accounting will not be completed until late 2005, based on information available to us at June 30, 2005, the total cost of Wynn Las Vegas is estimated to be in the range of $2.7 to $2.75 billion. This includes the cost of acquiring approximately 235 acres of land, costs of design and construction, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses, financing fees and construction contingencies, but excluding the incremental cost for Encore, other than the land for Encore. Through June 30, 2005, we had funded approximately $2.66 billion of Wynn Las Vegas project costs primarily from a combination of contributed capital, proceeds from sales of our common stock, proceeds from the issuance of the Second Mortgage Notes which were discharged in December 2004, proceeds from the issuance of First Mortgage Notes, and a portion of the borrowings under our credit facilities. We have sufficient cash balances, including our completion guarantee and liquidity reserve, as well as availability under our credit facilities, to pay for all expected costs of the Wynn Las Vegas project.

 

Wynn Resorts is not a guarantor of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s debt and is not obligated to apply any of its funds to the Wynn Las Vegas project, although it has more than $310.1 million in cash that can be made available.

 

Encore at Wynn Las Vegas

 

Due to the strong demand for Wynn Las Vegas, the continued strength in the Las Vegas market, and our desire to maximize the potential of our substantial real estate assets, we continue to evaluate the scope of Encore as part of our overall master plan. The current Encore program features an approximately 1,550-room hotel tower fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas, consisting of approximately 300 suites and approximately 1,250 guest rooms. Encore will have additional entertainment venues, restaurants, nightclubs, swimming pools, casino gaming, a spa and salon, convention and meeting space, and retail outlets.

 

34


Table of Contents

In June 2005, we amended the indenture governing the First Mortgage Notes and documents governing certain of our credit facilities to among other things, increase the limitation on expenditures for Encore project costs from $950.0 million to $1.4 billion, to extend the deadline for approval of the budget, plans and specifications for Encore (the “Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications”) from June 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005 (subject to further extension to March 31, 2006 if approved by a majority of the Arrangers (as defined) or the Required Lenders (as defined)), and to extend the deadlines for the opening and completion of Encore to September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively. We currently anticipate that Encore will open in the second or third quarter of 2008.

 

Although the budget has not been finalized and must be approved by our Board of Directors, we expect that the remaining proceeds from the First Mortgage Notes, together with availability under our existing credit facilities and cash flow from the operations of Wynn Las Vegas, will be sufficient to pay for expenditures of up to $1.4 billion, if needed, on the Encore project without incurring additional debt or receiving additional capital contributions from Wynn Resorts. The availability of notes proceeds and funds under the credit agreement in excess of $100.0 million is subject to approval of the Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications by a majority of arrangers or lenders. Once we have finalized the scope and plans for Encore, we will seek the necessary approvals from our lenders.

 

Wynn Macau

 

We commenced construction of Wynn Macau in June 2004, and in September 2004 completed the financing necessary to fund its budgeted development, construction and pre-opening costs. Construction is ongoing and we expect to open Wynn Macau in the third quarter of 2006. Design and construction of Wynn Macau is progressing on schedule and within budget. Detailed interior design work is continuing, with the majority of architectural and structural design work now complete. Construction is progressing well with piling and other in-ground activities substantially complete, and superstructure works well underway. Construction milestones since groundbreaking include the following:

 

    Hotel tower structure has reached the twenty-third floor level;

 

    Parking garage ground level, mezzanine and first through third floor slabs are complete;

 

    Main casino area superstructure (columns and roof slab) is complete;

 

    Structural floor slabs for the main casino area are approximately 95% complete; and

 

    Construction of basement plant and tunnel areas is substantially complete;

 

Excluding the planned expansion, Wynn Macau’s project budget is approximately $704.0 million. This includes construction and design costs of approximately $425.4 million, land acquisition costs of approximately $40.6 million, and capitalized interest, preopening expenses, financing fees and construction contingencies totaling in the aggregate approximately $238.0 million. The budget excludes up to $20.5 million of post-opening land concession payments that are anticipated to be funded from operating cash flows. As of June 30, 2005, we had funded approximately $205.7 million of project costs and estimated that approximately $498.3 million would be required to complete Wynn Macau. These costs are being, and will continue to be, funded from the existing cash balances of Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries in the form of capital contributions, intercompany loans (including up to $122.0 million from Wynn Las Vegas, LLC as provided under its existing indebtedness) and/or subordinated funding, as well as a $397.0 million senior secured credit facility.

 

Wynn Macau Expansion

 

The design of Wynn Macau’s expansion is substantially complete. The expansion plans include an additional 85,000 square feet of casino space featuring approximately 150 table games; 500 slots; two restaurants; a theater; a dramatic front feature attraction at the entrance of the expansion and, potentially, a sports

book. The expansion is on the remaining approximately five acres of the Wynn Macau site and is designed to seamlessly integrate into the Wynn Macau property. Our preliminary budget for the expansion is approximately $345.0 million. We intend to begin construction of the expansion in the third quarter of 2005 and open the expansion in the first half of 2007.

 

Financing Activity

 

Wynn Las Vegas and Encore

 

On December 14, 2004, we completed a series of transactions that refinanced Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s debt structure and raised additional funds we anticipate will be needed to develop Encore. The closing of the refinancing was the culmination of a series of transactions designed to facilitate the development of Encore, lower our overall cost of borrowing, and achieve an enhanced degree of financial maturity. In addition, it provided us with the financial flexibility to continue to develop our real estate assets.

 

We borrowed the remaining $373.4 million available under the delay draw term loan facility during the first quarter of 2005, as was required under the agreements governing the credit facilities. The total $400 million of proceeds of the delay draw term loan facility are being used as a portion of the total financing of Wynn Las Vegas.

 

The costs of Wynn Las Vegas are paid for with funds from the following sources and in the following order of priority:

 

    First by using any remaining proceeds from the First Mortgage Notes, and the proceeds of borrowings under the new credit facilities, until exhaustion of the First Mortgage Notes proceeds, with amounts funded 66.67% from notes proceeds and 33.33% from the new credit facilities;

 

    Second, by using proceeds of additional borrowings under our new credit facilities; and

 

    Third, by using the funds made available to us on a gradual basis from the $50 million completion guarantee deposit account and the $30 million liquidity reserve account.

 

Through June 30, 2005, we have funded approximately $52.1 million of costs associated with the design and predevelopment of Encore (including $25.6 million since December 14, 2004). Until such time as the Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications have been submitted by us and approved by a majority of the arrangers or a majority of the lenders under the agreement governing the disbursement of funds for Wynn Las Vegas and Encore, we may make disbursements of up to $100.0 million after December 14, 2004 to pay for development costs for Encore. If the Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications are approved by December 31, 2005 (which may be further extended to March 31, 2006 upon receiving certain approvals), then we expect to fund construction of Encore with remaining proceeds of the First Mortgage Notes, borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC credit facilities and future cash flows from the operations of Wynn Las Vegas. We will fund the costs of development and construction of Encore pursuant to the disbursement agreement, with funds utilized in the same order of priority as indicated above for Wynn Las Vegas. If the Encore Budget, Plans and Specifications are not approved by December 31, 2005 (or March 31, 2006, if further extended), then the amount available under the new credit facilities, and the amount of indebtedness that the indenture for the First Mortgage Notes will permit us to incur for this purpose, will be reduced by $550.0 million.

 

Wynn Macau and its Expansion

 

On September 14, 2004, we completed the financing for the design, development, construction and pre-opening expenses of Wynn Macau. Wynn Macau, S.A. executed a definitive credit agreement and related ancillary agreements for a senior secured bank facility of $397.0 million. The senior secured bank facility consists of term loan facilities in the amount of $382.0 million (which will be borrowed in a combination of Hong Kong and US dollars) and a revolving working capital facility of HK$117.0 million (approximately US$15.0 million).

Table of Contents

We are increasing our current Wynn Macau senior debt facilities to finance the expansion, have engaged several lenders for this purpose, and expect to close the additional financing for the expansion in the third quarter of 2005.

 

Other

 

As provided for under the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC credit facilities, on May 24, 2005, we borrowed an aggregate amount of $44.75 million under two term loans secured by a corporate aircraft. The loans mature on May 24, 2010. Principal and interest is payable quarterly and interest is calculated at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 2.375%. In addition to scheduled amortization payments, we are required to prepay the loans if certain events of loss with respect to the aircraft occur. Beginning on December 31, 2006, we may prepay all or any portion of the loans subject to a minimum prepayment of $10.0 million.

 

Other Liquidity Matters

 

Wynn Resorts is a holding company and, as a result, its ability to pay dividends is dependent on its subsidiaries’ ability to provide funds to it. Restrictions imposed by Wynn Resorts subsidiaries’ debt instruments significantly restrict certain key subsidiaries holding a majority of our assets, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Macau, S.A. from making dividends or distributions to Wynn Resorts. Specifically, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries are restricted under the indenture governing the First Mortgage Notes from making certain “restricted payments” as defined in the Indenture. These restricted payments include the payment of dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect holders of equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. These restricted payments may not be made until Wynn Las Vegas has been completed and certain other financial and non-financial criteria have been satisfied. In addition, the other credit facilities of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Macau, S.A. contain similar restrictions.

 

New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in Las Vegas or other international or domestic markets such as Singapore, whether through acquisition, investment or development. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to the Singapore proposal or any other opportunity. This or any other development would require us to obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts or through a line of subsidiaries separate from the Las Vegas or Macau-related entities. In addition, Wynn Resorts’ articles of incorporation provide that Wynn Resorts may redeem shares of its capital stock, including its common stock, that are owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates to the extent a gaming authority makes a determination of unsuitability and orders the redemption, or to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by our Board of Directors. The redemption price may be paid in cash, by promissory note or both, as required by the applicable gaming authority and, if not, as we elect. Any promissory note that we issue to an unsuitable person or its affiliate in exchange for its shares could increase our debt to equity ratio and will increase our leverage ratio.

 

Furthermore, if completion of the Encore or the Wynn Macau projects is delayed, then our debt service obligations accruing prior to the actual opening of those respective resorts will increase correspondingly. Wynn Las Vegas will fund its operations and capital requirements from operating cash flow and remaining availability under Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s credit facilities. We cannot assure you, however, that Wynn Las Vegas will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings available to us under the Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities will be sufficient to enable us to service and repay Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s indebtedness and to fund its other liquidity needs. Similarly, we expect that Wynn Macau, upon opening, will fund Wynn Macau, S.A.’s debt service obligations with operating cash flow and remaining availability under its senior secured bank facility. However, we cannot assure you that operating cash flows and available borrowings will be sufficient to do so. We may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risks

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed 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 fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

 

On December 14, 2004, concurrent with refinancing Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s indebtedness, we terminated the two interest rate swaps we had previously entered into as required under the terms of our original financing documents. As a result of the termination, we received approximately $9.6 million in settlement of the related asset, which is being amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income to reduce interest expense over the original contract life of the two interest rate swaps. Approximately $1.2 million and $2.4 million was amortized against interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

 

In connection with the refinancing, we entered into two new interest rate swap arrangements to hedge the underlying interest rate risk on the $400.0 million of term loan borrowings outstanding under the current Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.125%. Under each of these two interest rate swap arrangements, we receive payments at a variable rate of LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 3.793% on $200 million notional amount set forth in each of the swap instruments through December 2008. The interest rate swaps are expected to be effective as hedging instruments as long as sufficient term loan borrowings are outstanding, and effectively fix the interest rate on these borrowings at approximately 5.918%. Any ineffectiveness will increase our recorded interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.

 

As of June 30, 2005, we recorded in other assets the fair value of the net effect of the two new interest rate swaps of approximately $2.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million compared to the value of $583,000 at December 31, 2004. Because there has been no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship, the corresponding change in fair value of equal amount is reported in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The fair value approximates the amount we would receive 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. Therefore, the fair value is subject to significant estimation and a high degree of variability of fluctuation between periods.

 

We do not use derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, we incurred approximately $36.8 million and $69.8 million, respectively, in interest. A 1% increase in the LIBOR would have increased our interest cost by approximately $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, based upon the average amounts outstanding during those periods.

 

Foreign Currency Risks

 

The currency delineated in Wynn Macau’s concession agreement with the government of Macau is the Macau pataca. The Macau pataca, which is not a freely convertible currency, is linked to the Hong Kong dollar, and in many cases the two are used interchangeably in Macau. 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, and the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar, are subject to potential changes due to, among other things, changes in Chinese governmental policies and international economic and political developments.

In July 2005, officials from the People’s Bank of China announced the adoption of a new foreign exchange policy that will move away from a U.S. dollar peg of 8.28 Chinese renminbi to one U.S. dollar. The renminbi will instead trade based on a basket of currencies. The currency components of the basket have not been announced. The new trading parameter is plus or minus 0.3% against the U.S. dollar on a base exchange rate with the U.S. dollar at 8.11 Chinese renminbi to one U.S. dollar. The immediate effect is a 2.1% increase in the value of the renminbi. Management believes that the current revaluation of the renminibi will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Certain Asian countries have publicly asserted their desire to eliminate the linkage of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar. As a result, we cannot assure you that the Hong Kong dollar, and the Macau pataca will continue to be linked to the U.S. dollar, which may result in severe fluctuations in the exchange rate for these currencies. We also cannot assure you that the current rate of exchange fixed by the applicable monetary authorities for these currencies will remain at the same level.

 

Because many of Wynn Macau’s payment and expenditure obligations are in Macau patacas, in the event of unfavorable Macau pataca or Hong Kong dollar rate changes, Wynn Macau’s obligations, as denominated in U.S. dollars, would increase. In addition, because we expect that most of the revenues for any casino that Wynn Macau operates in Macau will be in Hong Kong dollars, we are subject to foreign exchange risk with respect to the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar. Also, if any of our Macau-related entities incur U.S. dollar-denominated debt, fluctuations in the exchange rates of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar, in relation to the U.S. dollar, could have adverse effects on Wynn Macau’s ability to service its debt, its results of operations and its financial condition. We have not yet determined whether we will engage in hedging activities to protect against foreign currency risk.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Concurrent with the opening of the Wynn Las Vegas casino resort on April 28, 2005, the Company was no longer solely a development stage enterprise. Although there were no material changes to any of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) which existed as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, the business processes of our Wynn Las Vegas casino resort are governed by a system of internal controls which were being established during our development and preopening period, and placed into operation concurrent with the opening of our Wynn Las Vegas casino resort. These include internal controls over our revenue centers, cash management, inventories and other components of our casino resort operations. The internal controls put into place are those common to the large casino resort operations on the Las Vegas Strip.
