MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Organization

The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Mohegan Tribe”) established the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority in July 1995 with the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Mohegan Tribe on tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. The Mohegan Tribe is a sovereign Indian nation with independent legal jurisdiction over its people and land. Like other sovereign governments, the Mohegan Tribe and its entities, including the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, are generally not subject to federal, state or local income taxes. However, MGE Niagara Entertainment Inc. (“MGE Niagara”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, is subject to tax in Ontario, Canada, and certain non-tribal entities are subject to state or local income taxes in the United States. The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority d/b/a Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of integrated entertainment facilities both domestically and internationally, including Mohegan Sun, a gaming and entertainment complex located on an approximately 196-acre site in Uncasville, Connecticut, and Mohegan Sun Pocono, a gaming and entertainment facility located on an approximately 400-acre site in Plains Township, Pennsylvania.

In September 2018, MGE Niagara was selected by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (the “OLG”) to be the service provider for the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort, Casino Niagara and the 5,000-seat Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre, all in Niagara Falls, Canada (collectively, the “MGE Niagara Resorts”). On June 11, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), MGE Niagara completed the acquisition of the MGE Niagara Resorts (the “Acquisition”) and assumed the day-to-day operations of the properties under the terms of a 21-year Casino Operating and Services Agreement (the “COSA”) with the OLG.

The Company also (i) owns 100% of Salishan-Mohegan, LLC (“Salishan-Mohegan”), which developed and currently manages ilani Casino Resort in Clark County, Washington, a gaming and entertainment facility owned by the federally-recognized Cowlitz Indian Tribe and the Cowlitz Tribal Gaming Authority, (ii) holds the development rights to any future development at ilani Casino Resort through Salishan-Mohegan Development Company, LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary of Salishan-Mohegan, (iii) manages Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey and owns 10% of the casino’s holding company and its subsidiaries, including those conducting or licensing online gaming and retail sports wagering in New Jersey, (iv) manages Paragon Casino Resort in Marksville, Louisiana and (v) owns 100% of Inspire Integrated Resort Co., Ltd. and MGA Korea, LLC, which were formed to develop and construct an integrated resort and casino project to be located adjacent to the Incheon International Airport in South Korea.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Company Response

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic and the United States federal government declared it a national emergency. The spread of COVID-19 has affected most segments of the global economy, including the Company’s operations. On March 18, 2020, the Company announced the temporary suspension of operations at its North American owned, operated and managed properties to ensure the health and safety of its employees, guests and the surrounding communities in which the Company operates, consistent with directives from various government bodies.

The following properties subsequently reopened as follows: (i) Paragon Casino Resort on May 20, 2020, (ii) ilani Casino Resort on May 28, 2020, (iii) Mohegan Sun on June 1, 2020, (iv) Mohegan Sun Pocono on June 22, 2020 and (v) Resorts Casino Hotel on July 2, 2020. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the MGE Niagara Resorts remain temporarily closed. Like other integrated resort operators, these business disruptions have had a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

While some of the Company's properties have reopened, it cannot predict when its remaining closed properties will be able to reopen or the conditions upon which additional reopenings may occur. In addition, while the Company has experienced some level of continued business disruption since the reopening of its properties, it expects this disruption to gradually
