Contract and Contract-related Assets
As of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018have been reclassified to conform to fiscal 2019, presentation.

In its first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company made an out-of-period correction, which increased depreciation and amortization expense by $6.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. This adjustment resulted from the assignment, in a prior year, of an incorrect useful life to depreciate a long lived asset related to tenant allowances.

In its second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company committed to a plan to repurpose the recently closed Casino of the Wind section of Mohegan Sun. In connection with this decision, the Company determined that certaincontract assets related to the CasinoCOSA totaled $95.7 million and $53.2 million, respectively.
Contract and Contract-related Liabilities
A difference may exist between the timing of cash receipts from patrons and the Wind had no alternative future use. Accordingly, depreciation on these assets was accelerated, which increased depreciation and amortization expense by $21.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies impacted by the acquisitionrecognition of the Niagara Gaming Bundle were as follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts ofrevenues, resulting in a contract or contract-related liability. In general, the Company has three types of such liabilities: (1) outstanding gaming chips and its majorityslot tickets liability, which represents amounts owed in exchange for outstanding gaming chips and wholly-owned subsidiariesslot tickets held by patrons; (2) loyalty points deferred revenue liability and entities. MGE Niagara is deemed to be a variable interest entity as the third-party investor has substantive participation rights(3) patron advances and significant influence over MGE Niagara’s operations. The accounts of MGE Niagara are consolidated into the accounts of the Company as the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of MGE Niagara. In consolidation, all inter-company balancesother liability, which primarily represents funds deposited in advance by patrons for gaming and transactions were eliminated.
Acquisitions
The Company accountsadvance payments by patrons for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of acquisitions is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values and any excess purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is recorded as goodwill. The Company may use independent valuation specialists to assist in determining the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could require certain significant management assumptions and estimates.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 840, which requires that leases be evaluated and classified as operating leases or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Leases that meet one or more of the capital lease criteria under this guidance are recorded as capital leases. All other leases are recorded as operating leases. Capital leases are recorded at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets or the present value of future minimum lease payments and are amortized in accordance with guidance provided by ASC Topic 840-30, “Leases - Capital Leases”.
Revenues from Casino Operating and Services Agreement
MGE Niagara operates the Niagara Gaming Bundle under the terms of the COSA. Pursuant to Canadian law, the OLG retains final legal authority over gaming operations in Canada. Accordingly, MGE Niagara is deemed to be acting as an agent with respect to gaming revenues earned under the COSA and, therefore, recognizes such revenues net of amounts due to the OLG. MGE Niagara is deemed to be acting as a principal with respect to non-gaming revenues earned under the COSA. The COSA represents a series of distinct goods and services such as advance ticket sales, deposits on rooms and therefore, is deemedconvention space and gift card purchases. These liabilities are generally expected to be a single performance obligation. The transaction price under the COSA includes both fixed and variable consideration. The fixed consideration is comprised of an annual service provider fee and reimbursement of permitted capital expenditures and other approved expenses. The fixed consideration is recognized as revenue on a straight line basis over the term of the COSA. The variable consideration consists of 70% of Gaming Revenues (as defined under the COSA), in excess of a guaranteed annual minimum amount payable to the OLG (the “Threshold”). Annual Threshold amounts are contractually establishedrevenues within one year and vary from year to year. If Gaming Revenues are less than the Threshold for any given year, the Company is obligated to make a payment to cover the related shortfall. The variable consideration is recognized as revenue as services are rendered under the terms of the COSA. The Company measures its progress in satisfying this performance obligation based on the output method, which aligns with the benefits provided to the OLG. Projected revenues are estimated based on the most likely amount within a range of possible outcomes to the extent that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized is not probable of occurring. The difference between revenues recognized and cash received is recorded as a contract asset or liability. In the event a contract asset is recorded, such asset will be assessed at least annually for impairment. As of June 30, 2019, contract assets of $541,000 and $4.1 million related to the COSA are recorded within other current assetsliabilities.
The following table summarizes these liabilities (in thousands):
 December 31, 2019 September 30, 2019
Outstanding gaming chips and slot tickets liability$11,350
 $7,968

Income Taxes
MGE Niagara is subject to income taxes in Canada. The Company accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using statutory rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the provision for income taxes was relatively insignificant.
iGame License
On January 25, 2019, Mohegan Sun Pocono entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Unibet Interactive Inc. (“Unibet”), pursuant to which Mohegan Sun Pocono will allow Unibet the use of its interactive gaming (“iGame”) license to operate a branded retail sportsbook at Mohegan Sun Pocono and an online gaming service in exchange for a portion of the related revenues earned by Unibet.In connection with this agreement, Unibet paid the required $8.0 million iGame license fee to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on behalf of Mohegan Sun Pocono. The Company recorded the $8.0 million iGame license fee, which is reimbursable to Unibet under certain conditions, as an indefinite useful life intangible asset with a corresponding long-term contract liability. The intangible asset will be assessed at least annually for impairment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs utilized to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 - Valuations based on models where the significant inputs are unobservable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company's estimates or assumptions that market participants would utilize in pricing such assets or liabilities.
The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade payables and certain promissory notes, including a convertible debenture and redemption note payable, approximates fair value. The estimated fair values of the Company's long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):

The items most significantly impacted by the adoption of ASC 606 were as follows:
(1) ASC 606 modified the accounting related to loyalty points. The Company’s loyalty reward programs allow patrons to utilize their reward membership cards to earn loyalty points that are redeemable for complimentary items such as food and beverage, lodging and retail products. Under ASC 606, the Company is required to utilize a deferred revenue model to reduce gaming revenues by the estimated fair value of loyalty points earned by patrons and recognize the related revenues when such loyalty points are redeemed. The deferred revenue liability is based on the estimated stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) of loyalty points earned after factoring in the likelihood of redemption. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the liability for unredeemed loyalty points was estimated based on expected redemption rates and estimated costs of the goods and services to be provided.
(2) ASC 606 modified the accounting related to promotional allowances. The Company no longer recognizes revenues for complimentary items provided to patrons or for goods and services provided to patrons in connection with loyalty point redemptions as gross revenues with a corresponding offset to promotional allowances to arrive at net revenues. The majority of such amounts previously included within promotional allowances now offset gaming revenues based on an allocation of revenues to performance obligations utilizing SSP. These changes resulted in the elimination of promotional allowances and the reclassification of revenues between the various revenue line items.
MOHEGAN TRIBAL GAMING AUTHORITY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

(3) ASC 606 modified the accounting related to cash giveaways. The Company now records cash giveaways as a reduction to gaming revenues. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recorded cash giveaways as expenses. This change resulted in decreases in both gaming revenues and expenses.
(4) ASC 606 modified gross versus net presentation related to certain fees. The Company now records mandatory service charges on food and beverage items and wide area progressive operator fees on a gross basis, with amounts received from patrons recorded as revenues and the corresponding amounts paid recorded as expenses. This change resulted in increases in both revenues and expenses.
The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers consist of gaming, food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and convention related transactions, as well as management and development services related to management and development contracts with third-party facilities.
The transaction price in a gaming contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. The transaction price in a racing contract, inclusive of live racing at the Company’s facilities, as well as import and export arrangements, is the commission received from the pari-mutuel pool less contractual fees and obligations, which primarily consist of purse funding requirements, simulcasting fees, tote fees and certain pari-mutuel taxes that are directly related to racing operations. The transaction prices in food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and convention contracts are the net amounts collected for such goods and services. Sales and other taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in revenues or expenses. The transaction prices in management and development service contracts are the amounts collected for services rendered in accordance with contractual terms, inclusive of reimbursable costs and expenses.
Gaming transactions involve two performance obligations for patrons participating in the Company’s loyalty reward programs and a single performance obligation for patrons that do not participate. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for gaming contracts on a portfolio basis, as such contracts share similar characteristics. The Company does not expect the effects on its condensed consolidated financial statements under this approach to differ materially versus under an individual contract basis. Revenues allocated to gaming performance obligations are recognized when gaming occurs as such activities are settled immediately. Revenues allocated to the loyalty points deferred revenue liability are recognized when loyalty points are redeemed. The deferred revenue liability is based on the estimated SSP of the loyalty points earned after factoring in the likelihood of redemption.
Food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and convention transactions have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and revenues for such contracts are recognized when the related goods and services are transferred to patrons. Revenues from contracts which include a combination of these transactions are allocated on a pro rata basis based on the SSP of the goods and services.
Management and development services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and revenues for such contracts are recognized when the related services are performed.
Revenue Disaggregation
The Company is primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of integrated entertainment facilities both domestically and internationally. The Company’s current operations are focused within Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The Company also currently manages other gaming facilities elsewhere within the United States and Canada. The Company generates revenues by providing the following types of goods and services: gaming, food and beverage, hotel, retail, entertainment and other and management and development.

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

The following table summarizes these liabilities (in thousands):

ASU 2016-18
           In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the total change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 in its first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a retrospective basis. Transfers between cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents are no longer included within investing activities and, as such, the details of such transfers are not reported as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows. This resulted in a $130.2 million change to net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2018.

The following accounting standards will be adopted in future reporting periods:
ASU 2016-02
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016‑02”2016-02”), which will require,requires, among other things, lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for leases with terms in excess of 12 months and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” and ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”, which clarifiedclarify various aspects of ASU 2016-02.

Accordingly, comparative information as of September 30, 2019 and for the three months ended December 31, 2018 has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients included in transition,ASU 2016-02, which allowed it to: (i) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) not reassess the initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company also made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its balance sheet. In addition, the Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all significant classes of underlying assets for which the Company continues to evaluate.is the lessee. For instances in which the Company is the lessor, and the class of underlying asset represents retail space, the Company accounts for both the lease and non-lease components as a single lease

The following accounting standards.standards will be adopted in a future reporting period:
ASU 2018-13
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which adds, amends and removes certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires enhanced disclosures on valuation techniques and inputs that a reporting entity uses to determine its measures of fair value, including judgments and assumptions that the entity makes and the uncertainties in the fair value measurements as of the reporting date. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amended or eliminated disclosure requirements may be adopted earlier, while certain additional disclosure requirements can be adopted on its effective date. In addition, certain changes required by this new standard require retrospective adoption, while other changes must be adopted prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.statement disclosures.
ASU 2019-12
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. This new standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASU 2019-12 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-12 will have on its financial statements, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact.

NOTE 4—COWLITZ PROJECT:3—LEASES:
On December 4, 2018,The Company determines if a contract is, or contains, a lease at its inception or at the time of any modification. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset requires that the lessee has both: (i) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (ii) the right to direct the use of the asset.
ROU operating and finance lease assets and liabilities are recognized on the respective lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the expected lease term. An expected lease term includes any option to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company received $106.6 million fromwill exercise such option. The Company utilizes the Cowlitz Tribal Gaming Authority. This amount representedincremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) applicable to the full repaymentlease as determined at the lease commencement date to calculate the present value of future lease payments. The applicable IBR is determined based on the treasury group to which the leasing entity belongs and that group’s estimated interest rate for collateralized borrowings over a similar term as the future lease payments. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company utilized IBRs as of October 1, 2019 to determine the present value of the then-outstanding notesremaining lease payments for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. Operating lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. ROU finance lease assets are recorded within property and accrued interest, throughequipment, net and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the repayment date, duerelated lease term. As of December 31, 2019, ROU finance lease assets totaled $31.4 million.

Accordingly, the Company capitalized $90.3 million as of September 30, 2019 for amounts paid as a build-to-suit asset within property and equipment, net and recorded a corresponding build-to-suit liability. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company derecognized the build-to-suit asset and liability in their entirety.
Lessor
The Company leases space at its facilities to third parties. Lease terms for these non-cancelable operating leases range from approximately one month to 17 years. Rental income under these lease agreements are fixed and/or variable based on percentage of tenant sales or periodic adjustments for inflation. Rental income is recorded within hotel and retail, entertainment and other revenues. For instances in which the Company is the lessor, and the class of underlying asset represents retail space, the Company accounts for both the lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance and tenant services, as a single lease component. In all other instances, non-lease components are accounted for separately in accordance with applicable guidance, most commonly ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”.

NOTE 4—MGE NIAGARA RESORTS:
In September 2018, MGE Niagara was selected by the OLG to be the service provider for the MGE Niagara Resorts. Following its selection, MGE Niagara entered into a Transition and Asset Purchase Agreement with the OLG and the Ontario Gaming Assets Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, MGE Niagara agreed to acquire certain assets associated with the MGE Niagara Resorts and to perform certain transition activities in order to facilitate the transition of the operational responsibilities from the previous operator to MGE Niagara.
On the Closing Date, MGE Niagara completed the Acquisition, assumed the day-to-day operations of the properties under the terms of the COSA and engaged in a series of transactions related thereto, including: (i) a lease agreement with the OLG to lease the Fallsview Casino Resort and related administrative office space, (ii) a lease agreement with a third-party investor to lease Casino Niagara and related license agreements to operate an adjacent parking lot and the right for patrons to use an adjacent parking garage and (iii) committed to enter into a lease agreement with a third-party to lease the Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre following the completion of its construction, both of which are expected to occur in 2020.
As of the Closing Date, the purchase price of the Acquisition was approximately 96 million Canadian dollars (approximately $72 million), net of cash acquired of approximately 57 million Canadian dollars (approximately $43 million).

Overview
The Mohegan Tribe and theOur Company
The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut, orWe were established in July 1995 by the Mohegan Tribe, is a federally-recognized Indian tribe with an approximately 595-acre reservation situated in southeastern Connecticut, adjacent to Uncasville, Connecticut. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, federally-recognized Indian tribes are permitted to conduct full-scale casino gaming operations on tribal lands, subject to, among other things, the negotiation of a compact with the affected state. The Mohegan Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into such a compact, the Mohegan Compact, which was approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior. We were established as an instrumentality of the Mohegan Tribe, 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.
Our gaming operation at Mohegan Sun is one of only two gaming operations in Connecticut offering slot machines and table games. Through our subsidiary, Downs Racing, L.P., we also own and operate Mohegan Sun Pocono, a gaming and entertainment facility located in Plains Township, Pennsylvania.
We are governed and overseen by a nine-member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Mohegan Tribal Council, the governing body of the Mohegan Tribe. Any change in the composition of the Mohegan Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in our Management Board.
AcquisitionWe are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of theintegrated entertainment facilities, both domestically and internationally, including: (i) Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, (ii) Mohegan Sun Pocono in Plains Township, Pennsylvania, (iii) Niagara Gaming Bundle
In September 2018, MGE Niagara Entertainment Inc., or MGE Niagara, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, was selected by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, or the OLG, to be the service provider for the Fallsview Casino Resort, Casino Niagara and the future 5,000-seat Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre, all in Niagara Falls, Canada which we refer to collectively as(collectively, the “MGE Niagara Gaming Bundle. Following its selection,Resorts”), (iv) Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, (v) ilani Casino Resort in Clark County, Washington, (vi) Paragon Casino Resort in Marksville, Louisiana and (vii) Project Inspire, a first-of-its-kind, multi-billion dollar integrated resort and casino under construction at Incheon International Airport in South Korea.






































Results of Operations
We, either directly or through subsidiaries, operate Mohegan Sun, along with our other Connecticut operations (the “Connecticut Facilities”), Mohegan Sun Pocono, along with our other Pennsylvania operations (the “Pennsylvania Facilities”) and the MGE Niagara entered into a Transition and Asset Purchase Agreement with the OLG and the Ontario Gaming Assets Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, MGE Niagara agreed to acquire certain assets associated with the Niagara Gaming Bundle and to perform certain transition activities in order to facilitate the transition of the operational responsibilities from the previous operator to MGE Niagara. On June 11, 2019, MGE Niagara completed the acquisition of the Niagara Gaming Bundle andResorts. We assumed the day-to-day operations of the MGE Niagara Resorts on June 11, 2019. In addition, certain other properties that are managed or under development, which were previously included within our corporate functions, are now identified as the termsmanagement, development and other reportable segment.
Our chief operating decision maker currently reviews and assesses the performance and operating results and determines the proper allocation of resources to the Connecticut Facilities, the Pennsylvania Facilities, the MGE Niagara Resorts and the properties managed or under development on a 21-year Casino Operating and Services Agreement, or the COSA, with the OLG.

(1)IncludesWe assumed the financial resultsday-to-day operations of the MGE Niagara Gaming Bundle fromResorts on June 11, 2019 through June 30, 2019.

The most significant factors and trends that impacted our operating and financial performance were as follows:
increasingly competitive gaming markets;
lower gaming volumes;
lowervolumes and table game hold percentage;
a strong entertainment calendarpercentage at Mohegan Sun;
improved overall business volumes and additional revenues generated by our new sports wagering and interactive gaming operations at Mohegan Sun Pocono;
higher management fees earned;
the acquisition of the MGE Niagara Gaming BundleResorts, which contributed $21.3$85.0 million to net revenues and increased operating costs and expenses by $18.7$86.3 million;
higher depreciation expense; and
higher interest expense.lower than anticipated table game hold percentage at the MGE Niagara Resorts.

Net revenues declined by $19.4$9.4 million, or 7.2%3.7%, to $251.0$243.3 million for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 compared to $270.4$252.7 million in the same period in the prior year. Net revenues declined by $51.6 million, or 6.5%, to $742.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $793.7 million in the same period in the prior year. After factoring in the impact of adopting the new revenue recognition standard, theseThese results were primarily driven by lower gaming revenues, partially offset by higher overall non-gaming revenues. The declinesdecline in gaming revenues reflected lower slot and table game revenues whichprimarily driven by

lower overall gaming volumes. In addition, table game revenues were modestly impacted by lower year-over-year hold percentage. The increase in non-gaming revenues was primarily driven by decreased hold percentageshigher hotel and lower slotentertainment revenues, both of which were negatively impacted by softer volumes. Non-gaming revenues benefited from a strong entertainment calendar featuring additional headliner shows, as well as the opening of our Earth Expo & Convention Center in June 2018.calendar.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs and expenses decreased by $6.5$10.3 million, or 3.1%4.9%, to $202.2$198.3 million for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 compared to $208.7 million in the same period in the prior year. Operating costs and expenses increased by $11.5 million, or 1.9%, to $629.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $617.8 million in the same period in the prior year. After factoring in the impact of adopting the new revenue recognition standard, the decrease in operating costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily driven by reductions in payroll costs and certain casino marketing and promotional expenses, along with lower slot win contribution expenses commensurate with the decline in slot revenues. After factoring in the impact of adopting the new revenue recognition standard, the increase in operating costs and expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was principally due to higher depreciation expense. During our second quarter of fiscal 2019, we committed to a plan to repurpose the recently closed Casino of the Wind section of Mohegan Sun. In connection with this decision, we determined that certain assets related to the Casino of the Wind had no alternative future use. Accordingly, depreciation on these assets was accelerated by $21.6 million. The increase in depreciation expense also reflected an out-of-period correction which increased depreciation expense by $6.3 million. Overall, these two items increased depreciation expense by $27.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. These results were partially offset by lower payroll costs and certain casino marketing and promotional expenses, along with reduced slot win contribution expenses commensurate with the decline in slot revenues. Operating costs and expenses for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2019 reflected higher entertainment costs and expenses commensurate with the increases in entertainment revenues.
Mohegan Sun Pocono

Net revenues declined by $12.8 million, or 6.4%, to $187.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $200.2 million in the same period in the prior year. After factoring in the impact of adopting the new revenue recognition standard, these results were primarily driven by lower gaming revenues. Both slot and table game revenues were negatively impacted by lower volumes and hold percentages.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs and expenses decreased by $3.3 million, or 5.7%, to $54.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $58.1 million in the same period in the prior year. Operating costs and expenses decreased by $12.1 million, or 7.0%, to $161.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $173.5$208.6 million in the same period in the prior year.

The increasesgrowth in net revenues primarily reflected $21.3 million ofincreases in both gaming and non-gaming revenues driven, in part, by strong overall business volumes. The increase in gaming revenues reflected higher table game revenues and additional revenues from Fallsview Casino Resortgenerated by our new sports wagering and Casino Niagarainteractive gaming operations, while the increase in non-gaming revenues reflected higher food and beverage and hotel revenues. These results were partially offset by lower slot revenues.

Interest expense was $35.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to $36.0 million in the same period in the prior year. These results were driven by higher weighted average interest rate and weighted average outstanding debt. Weighted average interest rate was 7.5% and 7.4% for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 7.1% and 6.8% for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Weighted average cost of borrowing was 7.0% for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.December 31, 2019 compared to 7.4% in the same period in the prior year.
Seasonality
The gaming marketmarkets in the Northeastern United States isand Niagara Falls, Canada, are seasonal in nature, with peak gaming activities often occurring at Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Sun Pocono, Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara during the months of May through August. Accordingly, our operating results for the three months and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for other interim periods or an entire fiscal year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018,2019, we held cash and cash equivalents of $162.1$139.2 million and $103.9$130.1 million, respectively. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability, under our senior secured revolving facility, we had $133.7$110.7 million of borrowing capacity under theour senior secured revolving facility and line of credit as of June 30,December 31, 2019. In addition, inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability, MGE Niagara Entertainment Inc. had $118.1$96.0 million of borrowing capacity under the MGE Niagara Resorts revolving facility and line of credit as of June 30,December 31, 2019. Borrowing capacities under these facilities may be further impacted by restrictive financial covenant requirements. As a result of the cash based nature of our business, operating cash flow levels tend to follow trends in our operating income, excluding the effects of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization.
Cash used in operating activities totaled $11.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to cash provided by operating activities increased by $27.1 million, or 18.6%, to $173.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $145.9of $81.1 million in the same period in the prior year,year.

Sufficiency of Resources
We believe that existing cash balances, financing arrangements and operating cash flows will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our existing debt obligations, distributions to the Mohegan Tribe, capital expenditures and working capital requirements, including threshold payments relating to the MGE Niagara Gaming Bundle,Resorts, for at least the next twelve months; however, we can provide no assurance in this regard.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Acquisitions
We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of acquisitions is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values and any excess purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is recorded as goodwill. We may use independent valuation specialists to assist in determining the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could require certain significant management assumptions and estimates.
Revenues from Casino Operating and Services Agreement
We operate the Niagara Gaming Bundle under the terms of the COSA. Pursuant to Canadian law, the OLG retains final legal authority over gaming operations in Canada. Accordingly, we are deemed to be acting as an agent with respect to gaming revenues earned under the COSA and, therefore, recognize such revenues net of amounts due to the OLG. We are deemed to be acting as a principal with respect to non-gaming revenues earned under the COSA. The COSA represents a series of distinct goods and services and, therefore, is deemed to be a single performance obligation. The transaction price under the COSA includes both fixed and variable consideration. The fixed consideration is comprised of an annual service provider fee and reimbursement of permitted capital expenditures and other approved expenses. The fixed consideration is recognized as revenue on a straight line basis over the term of the COSA. The variable consideration consists of 70% of Gaming Revenues (as defined under the COSA), in excess of a guaranteed annual minimum amount payable to the OLG, or the Threshold. Annual Threshold amounts are contractually established and vary from year to year. If Gaming Revenues are less than the Threshold for any given year, we are obligated to make a payment to cover the related shortfall. The variable consideration is recognized as revenue as services are rendered under the terms of the COSA. We measure our progress in satisfying this performance obligation based on the output method, which aligns with the benefits provided to the OLG. Projected revenues are estimated based on the most likely amount within a range of possible outcomes to the extent that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized is not probable of occurring. The difference between revenues recognized and cash received is recorded as a contract asset or liability. In the event a contract asset is recorded, such asset will be assessed at least annually for impairment.
Impairment of Goodwill
We perform annual impairment assessments of the goodwill related to Mohegan Sun Pocono by factoring in property cash flow assumptions, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market trends, and entity-specific risks. These assumptions are highly judgmental and subject to change. In our fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we determined that the fair value of the goodwill exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%. We plan to perform our annual impairment assessment, which could result in an impairment charge, during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
There has been no material change from the critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, except for those related to the acquisition of the Niagara Gaming Bundle and Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Please refer to “Part I. Item 1—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3—New Accounting Standards” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.2019.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. As of June 30,December 31, 2019, our primary exposure to market risk was interest rate risk associated with our credit facilities which accrued interest based on athe basis of base rate, formula or a Eurodollar rate formula,and Bankers’ Acceptance rate formulas, plus applicable rates, as defined under the credit facilities.Based on our variable rate outstanding debt as of June 30,December 31, 2019, a 100 basis point change in average interest rate would impact annual interest expense by approximately $13.6$13.8 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30,December 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act,(the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company'sCompany's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our goodwill and other intangible assets impairment analysis review control, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective atnot effective.
Notwithstanding this material weakness, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the reasonable assurance level.periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, (asas defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)Act, that occurred during the three monthsquarter ended June 30,December 31, 2019, that havehas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.reporting, other than the material weakness discussed above. In making our assessment of changes in internal control over financial reporting, we have excluded the MGE Niagara Gaming Bundle,Resorts, which was acquired on June 11, 2019.
