NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Macao

The Company submitted plans to the Macao government for its otherremaining Cotai Strip developments, which represent two integrated resort developmentsdevelopment (referred to as parcels 3parcel 3), an integrated resort that will be connected to The Venetian Macao and 7 and 8).Four Seasons Macao. Subject to government approval, the approval from the Macao government, as discussed further below, the developments are expectedintegrated resort is intended to include hotels, exhibitiona gaming area (to be operated under the Company’s Macao gaming subconcession), hotel and conference facilities, gaming areas, showrooms, spas, dining, retail and entertainment facilities, and other amenities.shopping mall. The Company had commenced pre-construction activities on these developments and planshas capitalized costs of $98.1 million, including the land premium (net of amortization), as of June 30, 2012. The Company intends to operatecommence construction after the related gaming areas under the Company’s Macao gaming subconcession.necessary government approvals are obtained.

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(UNAUDITED)

Parcels 7 and 8 — Consistent with its original plans, the Company had commenced pre-construction activities and has capitalized construction costs of $101.1 million as of March 31, 2012. The Company intends to commence construction after Sands Cotai Central and the integrated resort on parcel 3 are completed, necessary government approvals obtained (including the land concession, see below), future demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained. If the Company is successful in winning its judicial appeal and obtaining the land concession for parcels 7 and 8 (as discussed below), and is able to proceed with this portionestimated overall cost of the development as planned, the related integrated resort is expected to be similar in size and scope to Sands Cotai Central.

The impact of the delayed construction on the Company’s previously estimated cost to complete its Cotai Strip developments on parcels 3 and 7 and 8project is currently not determinable with certainty. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has capitalized an aggregate of $7.78 billion in construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization) for its Cotai Strip developments, including The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Sands Cotai Central, as well as the Company’s investments in transportation infrastructure, including its passenger ferry service operations. In addition to funding phases I and II of Sands Cotai Central with borrowings under the Company’s new $3.7 billion Macao credit facility completed in November 2011 (the “2011 VML Credit Facility”), the Company will need to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of its Cotai Strip developments and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional financing required or on terms suitable to the Company.

Land concessions in Macao generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macao law. The Company has received land concessions from the Macao government to build on parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6, including the sites on which The Venetian Macao, the Four Seasons Macao and Sands Cotai Central are located. The Company does not own these land sites in Macao; however, the land concessions grant the Company exclusive use of the land. As specified in the land concessions, the Company is required to pay premiums for each parcel, which are either payable in a single lump sum upon acceptance of the land concessions by the Macao government or in seven semi-annual installments, as well as annual rent for the term of the land concessions. In December 2010, the Company received notice from the Macao government that its application for a land concession for parcels 7 and 8 was not approved and the Company applied to the Chief Executive of Macao for an executive review of the decision. In January 2011, the Company filed a judicial appeal with the Court of Second Instance in Macao, which has yet to issue a decision. Should the Company win its judicial appeal, it is still possible for the Chief Executive of Macao to again deny the land concession based upon public policy considerations. If the Company does not obtain the land concession or does not receive full reimbursement of its capitalized investment in this project, the Company would record a charge for all or some portion of the $101.1 million in capitalized construction costs, as of March 31, 2012, related to its development on parcels 7 and 8.

Under the Company’s land concession for parcel 3, the Company initially was initially required to complete the corresponding development by August 2011. The2011, but subsequently was granted an extension from the Macao government, haswhich extended the deadline until April 2013. In July 2012, the Macao government granted the Company a two-yearan additional extension, to completewhich now requires the development of parcel 3, which now mustto be completed by April 2013.2016. The land concession for Sands Cotai Central contains a similar requirement that the corresponding development be completed by May 2014. The Company intends to apply for an extension from the Macao government to complete its parcel 3 development as it will be unable to meet the April 2013 deadline. Should the Company determine that it is unable to complete Sands Cotai Centralthe developments by May 2014,their respective deadlines, the Company also intends to apply for an extensionextensions from the Macao government. Nogovernment; however, no assurances can be given that additional extensions will be granted. If the Company is unable to meet the applicable deadline for Sands Cotai Centralthese deadlines and the deadlines for either development are not extended, it could lose its land concessions for parcel 3 or Sands Cotai Central or parcel 3, which would prohibit the Company from operating any facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, the Company could record a charge for all or some portion of its $96.7$3.59 billion or $98.1 million and $3.32 billion in capitalized construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization), as of March 31,June 30, 2012, related to its development on parcel 3 or Sands Cotai Central and parcel 3, respectively.

Development Financing Strategy

Through March 31,June 30, 2012, the Company has funded its development projects primarily through borrowings under its U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from its equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.

The U.S. credit facility, as amended in August 2010, requires the Company’s Las Vegas operations to comply with certain financial covenants at the end of each quarter, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The maximum leverage ratio is 5.5x for the quarterly periodsperiod ended March 31 and June 30, 2012, and then decreases to 5.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Company can elect to contribute up to $50 million of cash on hand to its Las Vegas operations on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the “EBITDA true-up”). The SingaporeCompany’s Macao credit facility requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 5.25x for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012, and then decreases by 0.25x every other quarter until September 30, 2014, when it decreases to, and remains at, 3.75x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Company’s 2011(the “2011 VML Credit Facility, entered into in September 2011,Facility”) also requires the Company’s Macao operations to comply with similar financial covenants, which commenced with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.5x for the quarterly periods ended March 31,June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2013, decreases to 4.0x for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2013 through December 31, 2014, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ended March 31 through December 31, 2015, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Company’s Singapore credit facility (the “2012 Singapore Credit Facility”), entered into in June 2012, requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2012 through September 30, 2013, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. If the Company is unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, it would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under the U.S. credit facility would trigger a cross-default under the Company’s airplane financings. Certain defaults under the 2011 VML Credit Facility would trigger a cross-default under the Company’s ferry financing. Any defaults or cross-defaults under these agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force the Company to restructure or alter its operations or debt obligations.

The Company held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.52 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.06 billion and $7.3$7.6 million respectively, as of March 31,June 30, 2012. The Company believes that the cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its development projects currently under construction and maintain compliance with the financial covenants of its U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities. In the normal course of its activities, the Company will continue to evaluate its capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. In November 2011, the Company completed its $3.7 billion 2011 VML Credit Facility, which was used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the VML and VOL credit facilities, as well as to continue to fund the development, construction and completion of certain components of Sands Cotai Central.

In MarchJune 2012, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”), secured a commitment for a newCompany entered into its 5.1 billion Singapore dollar (“SGD,” approximately $4.06$4.02 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31,June 30, 2012) credit facility,2012 Singapore Credit Facility, which is expected to consist of a SGD 4.6 billion (approximately $3.66 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2012) term loan and a SGD 500.0 million (approximately $398.1 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2012) revolving facility, which will include a SGD 100.0 million (approximately $79.6 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2012) swingline facility. The proceeds from the new facility will bewas used to refinancerepay the existingoutstanding indebtedness under the prior Singapore credit facility to pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes. MBS has commenced marketing of the new facility.(see “— Note 3 — Long-term Debt — 2012 Singapore Credit Facility”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that is intended to align the principles for fair value measurements and the related disclosure requirements under GAAP and international financial reporting standards. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements by requiring an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance also eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. See the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the required presentation.

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIESIn July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that is intended to simplify testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. The revised standard allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the asset is impaired. The guidance is effective for interim and annual impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Common Stock Dividends

On March 30 and June 29, 2012, the Company paid a dividend of $0.25 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $205.7$411.5 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which $107.8$215.7 million related to the Principal Stockholder’s family). Of this amount, approximately $0.4$0.9 million has been recorded as a liability as of June 30, 2012, which will be paid to holders of unvested restricted stock and stock units upon vesting.

In AprilJuly 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $206 million) to be paid on June 29,September 28, 2012, to shareholders of record on JuneSeptember 20, 2012.

Other Equity Transactions

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company purchased a Boeing 747 airplane from an entity controlled by the Principal Stockholder for $34.0 million, based on independent third party appraisals. In accordance with accounting standards regarding transactions between entities under common control, the Company will record the cost of the airplane at the Principal Stockholder’s book value at the date of the transaction, which was $15.4 million. The $18.6 million difference between the amount paid and the book value of the airplane (a gain to the Principal Stockholder) will be recorded as a deemed distribution to the Principal Stockholder.

The Company believes that the purchase of the airplane allows it to meet the increased demand for high-end premium direct customer travel driven from the Company’s expanding global gaming operations and is an important component in creating the ultimate trans-Pacific transportation experience for its customers. The Company believes it would have been more costly to acquire the airplane in the open market due to the limited supply of similar aircraft with luxury features.

Noncontrolling Interests

On February 28 and June 22, 2012, SCL paid a dividend of 0.58 Hong Kong dollars per share (a total of $599.8 million)$1.20 billion) to SCL shareholders of record on February 20, 2012 (of which the Company retained $421.6$844.4 million).

NOTE 5 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is the primary beneficiary and discloses significant variable interests in VIEs of which it is not the primary beneficiary, if any, which management determines such designation based on accounting standards for VIEs.

The Company has entered into various joint venture agreements with independent third parties. The operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated by the Company due to the Company’s significant investment in these joint ventures, its power to direct the activities of the joint ventures that would significantly impact their economic performance and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or the rights to receive potentially significant benefits from these joint ventures. The Company evaluates its primary beneficiary designation on an ongoing basis and will assess the appropriateness of the VIE’s status when events have occurred that would trigger such an analysis.

As of March 31,June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s joint ventures had total assets of $108.1$108.8 million and $108.4 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $107.8$111.7 million and $104.3 million, respectively.

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao and Singapore. In 2010 and 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued Revenue Agent’s Reports for tax years 2005 through 2008 and 2009, respectively, of which the Company is appealing certain adjustments proposed by the IRS. The Company disagrees with several of the proposed adjustments and submitted a protest and a request for an appeals conference to the IRS. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31,as of June 30, 2012, may decrease by a range of $0 to $24$17 million within the next twelve months primarily due to the possible settlement of matters presently under consideration at appeals in connection with the IRS audit of the Company’s 2005 through 20082009 consolidated federal income tax returns. The Company is subject to examination for tax years after 2006 in Macao and Singapore and for tax years after 2009 in the U.S. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its uncertain tax positions; however, there is no assurance that the taxing authorities will not propose adjustments that are different thanfrom the Company’s expected outcome and impact the provision for income taxes.

During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, acertain wholly owned foreign subsidiarysubsidiaries paid a dividenddividends resulting in incremental U.S. taxable income. The receipt of the dividenddividends did not result in a cash tax liability for the Company as the incremental U.S. taxable income was fully offset by the utilization of the U.S. federal net operating loss and the U.S. foreign tax credits generated as a result of the dividend.dividends. In addition, the dividenddividends generated excess U.S. foreign tax credits that will be available to be carried forward to tax years beyond 2012. The Company recorded valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets of its U.S. operations and certain foreign jurisdictions. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period. To the extent it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company will be able to reduce the valuation allowance.

The Company received a 5-year income tax exemption in Macao that exempts the Company from paying corporate income tax on profits generated by gaming operations. The Company will continue to benefit from this tax exemption through the end of 2013. During July 2012, Venetian Macau Limited (“VML”) requested an additional 5-year income tax exemption; however, there is no assurance that the Company will receive the extension. In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the Macao government, effective through the end of 2013 that provides for an annual payment of 14.4 million patacas (approximately $1.8 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31,June 30, 2012) that is a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from Venetian Macau Limited (“VML”)VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Under applicable accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance also establishes a valuation hierarchy for inputs in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs (inputs market participants would use based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company) and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs (inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions based upon the best information available in the circumstances) by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is involved in other litigation in addition to those noted below, arising in the normal course of business. Management has made certain estimates for potential litigation costs based upon consultation with legal counsel. Actual results could differ from these estimates; however, in the opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 15, 2004, Richard Suen and Round Square Company Limited filed an action against LVSC, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. (“LVSI”), Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, asserting a breach of an alleged agreement to pay a success fee of $5.0 million and 2.0% of the net profit from the Company’s Macao resort operations to the plaintiffs as well as other related claims. In March 2005, LVSC was dismissed as a party without prejudice based on a stipulation to do so between the parties. Pursuant to an order filed March 16, 2006, plaintiffs’ fraud claims set forth in the first amended complaint were dismissed with prejudice against all defendants. The order also dismissed with prejudice the first amended complaint against defendants Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner. On May 24, 2008, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs in the amount of $43.8 million. On June 30, 2008, a judgment was entered in this matter in the amount of $58.6 million (including pre-judgment interest). The Company appealed the verdict to the Nevada Supreme Court. On November 17, 2010, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the judgment and remanded the case to the District Court of Clark County for a new trial. In its decision reversing the monetary judgment against the Company, the Nevada Supreme Court also made several other rulings which may affect the outcome of the new trial, including overturning the pre-trial dismissal of the plaintiffs’ breach of contract claim and deciding several evidentiary matters, some of which confirmed and some of which overturned rulings made by the District Court of Clark County. On February 27, 2012, the District Court of Clark County set a date of March 25, 2013, for the new trial. As such, the Company is unable at this time to determine the probability of the outcome or range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On October 20, 2010, Steven C. Jacobs, the former Chief Executive Officer of SCL, filed an action against LVSC and SCL in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, alleging breach of contract against LVSC and SCL and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and tortious discharge in violation of public policy against LVSC. On March 16, 2011, an amended complaint was filed, which added Sheldon G. Adelson as a defendant and alleged a claim of defamation per se against him, LVSC and SCL. On June 9, 2011, the District Court of Clark County dismissed the defamation claim and certified the decision as to Sheldon G. Adelson as a final judgment. On July 1, 2011, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal regarding the final judgment as to Sheldon G. Adelson. On August 26, 2011, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a writ of mandamus instructing the District Court of Clark County to hold an evidentiary hearing on whether personal jurisdiction exists over SCL and stayed the case until after the district court’s decision. On January 17, 2012, Mr. Jacobs filed his opening brief with the Supreme Court of Nevada regarding his appeal of the defamation claim against Mr. Adelson. On January 30, 2012, Mr. Adelson filed his reply to Mr. Jacobs’ opening brief. On March 8, 2012, the District Court of Clark County set a hearing date for the week of June 25-29, 2012, for the evidentiary hearing on personal jurisdiction over SCL. On May 24, 2012, the District Court of Clark County vacated the hearing date previously set for June 25-29 and set a status conference for June 28, 2012. At the June 28 status hearing, the District Court of Clark County set out a hearing schedule to resolve a discovery dispute and did not reset a date for the jurisdictional hearing. Mr. Jacobs is seeking unspecified damages. This action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On February 9, 2011, LVSC received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting that the Company produce documents relating to its compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”). The Company has also been advised by the Department of Justice that it is conducting a similar investigation. It is the Company’s belief that the subpoena may have emanated from allegations contained in the lawsuit filed by Steven C. Jacobs described above. The Company is cooperating with the investigations. Based on proceedings to date, management is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

On May 24, 2010, Frank J. Fosbre, Jr. filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the “U.S. District Court”), against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson, and William P. Weidner. The complaint alleged that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from August 1, 2007 through November 6, 2008. The complaint sought, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On July 21, 2010, Wendell and Shirley Combs filed a purported class action complaint in the U.S. District Court, against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson, and William P. Weidner. The complaint alleged that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from June 13, 2007 through November 11, 2008. The complaint, which was substantially similar to the Fosbre complaint, discussed above, sought, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 31, 2010, the U.S. District Court entered an order consolidating the Fosbre and Combs cases, and appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. As such, the Fosbre and Combs cases are reported as one consolidated matter. On November 1, 2010, a purported class action amended complaint was filed in the consolidated action against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner. The amended complaint alleges that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false and misleading information, or failed to disclose material facts,

through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from August 2, 2007 through November 6, 2008. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On January 10, 2011, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which, on August 24, 2011, was granted in part, and denied in part, with the dismissal of certain allegations. On November 7, 2011, the defendants filed their answer to the allegations remaining in the amended complaint. On July 11, 2012, the U.S. District Court issued an order allowing Defendants’ Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Court’s Order dated August 24, 2011, striking additional portions of the plaintiff’s complaint and reducing the class period to a period of February 4 to November 6, 2008. The discovery process has also begun. This consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On March 9, 2011, Benyamin Kohanim filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Kohanim action”) on behalf of the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties in failing to properly implement, oversee and maintain internal controls to ensure compliance with the FCPA. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including restitution and disgorgement of profits, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff. On April 18, 2011, Ira J. Gaines, Sunshine Wire and Cable Defined Benefit Pension Plan Trust dated 1/1/92 and Peachtree Mortgage Ltd. filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Gaines action”) on behalf of the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time. The complaint raises substantially similar claims as alleged in the Kohanim action. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. The Kohanim and Gaines actions have been consolidated and are reported as one consolidated matter. On July 25, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a first verified amended consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs have twice agreed to stay the proceedings. A 120-day stay was entered by the court in October 2011. It was extended for another 90 days in February 2012 and is setexpired in May 2012. The parties agreed to an extension of the May 2012 deadline that was filed on July 5, 2012, and will expire in Mayon October 3, 2012. This consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On April 1, 2011, Nasser Moradi, Richard Buckman, Douglas Tomlinson and Matt Abbeduto filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Moradi action”), as amended on April 15, 2011, on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time. The complaint raises substantially similar claims as alleged in the Kohanim and Gaines actions. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including exemplary damages and restitution, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. On April 18, 2011, the Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System filed a shareholder derivative action (the “LAMPERS action”) on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time, and Wing T. Chao, a former member of the Board of Directors. The complaint raises substantially similar claims as alleged in the Kohanim, Moradi and Gaines actions. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff. On April 22, 2011, John Zaremba filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Zaremba action”) on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time, and Wing T. Chao, a former member of the Board of Directors. The complaint raises substantially similar claims as alleged in the Kohanim, Moradi, Gaines and LAMPERS actions. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including restitution, disgorgement of profits and injunctive relief, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff. On August 25, 2011, the U.S. District Court consolidated the Moradi, LAMPERS and Zaremba actions and such actions are reported as one consolidated matter. On November 17, 2011, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss or alternatively to stay the federal action due to the parallel state court action described above. This consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On March 23, 2012, Ernest Kleinschmidt filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Kleinschmidt action”) on behalf of the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Michael A. Leven, Irwin A. Siegel, Jeffrey H. Schwartz, Jason N. Ader, Charles D. Forman, Irwin Chafetz and George P. Koo, who are currently members of the Board of Directors, and Wing T. Chao, Andrew R. Heyer, James Purcell, Bradley H. Stone and William P. Weidner, who are former members of the Board of Directors and/or executives of the Company. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties for disseminating false and misleading information, failingfailure to maintain internal controls and failing to properly oversee and manage the Company, and unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks, among other relief, unspecified damages, direction to LVSC to take unspecified actions to improve its corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution and disgorgement of profits, and attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff. The Company has notOn June 29, 2012, the defendants who had been served with the complaintat that time including nominal defendant LVSC and defendants Michael A. Leven, Irwin A. Siegel, Jason N. Ader, Charles D. Forman, Irwin Chafetz, George P. Koo, James Purcell, Bradley H. Stone and William P. Weidner filed a motion to dismiss. On July 20 and July 25, 2012, defendants Jeffery H. Schwartz and Wing T. Chao, respectively, each filed a substantially similar motion to dismiss. This action is in the Kleinschmidt actiona preliminary stage and therefore, management had determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On January 19, 2012, Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited (“AAEC”) filed a claim (the “Macao action”) with the Macao Judicial Court (Tribunal Judicial de Base) against VML, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. (“LVS (Nevada)”), Las Vegas Sands, LLC (“LVSLLC”) and

Venetian Casino Resort, LLC (“VCR,” and collectively, the “Defendants”). The claim is for 3.0 billion patacas (approximately $375.1$375.5 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31,June 30, 2012) as compensation for damages resulting from the alleged breach of agreements entered into between AAEC and the Defendants for their joint presentation of a bid in response to the public tender held by the Macao government for the award of gaming concessions at the end of 2001. On July 4, 2012, the defendants filed their defense to the Macao action with the Macao Judicial Court. The Macao action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

As previously disclosed by the Company, on February 5, 2007, AAEC brought a similar claim (the “Prior Action”) in the U.S. District Court, against Las Vegas Sands Inc. (now known as Las Vegas Sands, LLC), VCR and Venetian Venture Development, LLC, which are subsidiaries of the Company, and William P. Weidner and David Friedman, who are former executives of the Company. The U.S. District Court entered an order on April 16, 2010, dismissing the Prior Action. On April 20, 2012, LVSLLC, VCR and LVS (Nevada) filed an injunctive action (the “Nevada Action”) against AAEC in the U.S. District Court seeking to enjoin AAEC from proceeding with the Macao Action based on AAEC’s filing, and the U.S. District Court’s dismissal, of the Prior Action. TheOn June 14, 2012, the U.S. District Court has not ruled onissued an order that denied the motions requesting the Nevada Action, thereby effectively dismissing the Nevada Action.

On August 1, 2012, SCL filed an announcement with the SEHK stating that SCL’s subsidiary, VML, has received a notification from the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Macao government (the “OPDP”) indicating that the OPDP has launched an official investigation procedure in relation to the alleged transfer from Macao by VML to the United States of certain data. The Company intends to cooperate with the investigation. Based on proceedings to date, management is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

The Company has received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office requesting the production of documents relating to two prior customers of the Company’s properties. The Company is cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s Office on these matters. Based on proceedings to date, management is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

Other Agreements

The Company’s agreement with Starwood related to the Las Vegas Condo Tower has been terminated in connection with the suspension of the project and management is currently evaluating alternatives for branding the project. If the Company is unsuccessful in rebranding its Las Vegas Condo Tower, such measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

LVSLLC, VCR, Mall Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, Venetian Transport, LLC, Venetian Marketing, Inc., Lido Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, Lido Casino Resort Holding Company, LLC, Interface Group-Nevada, Inc., Palazzo Condo Tower, LLC, Sands Pennsylvania, Inc., Phase II Mall Holding, LLC, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. and LVS Management Services, LLC (collectively, the “Restricted Subsidiaries”), are all part of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The noncontrolling interest amountamounts included in the Restricted Subsidiaries’ condensed consolidating balance sheets isfinancial information are related to non-voting preferred stock of one of the subsidiaries held by third parties.

In February 2008, all of the capital stock of Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC was sold to GGP; however, the sale is not complete from an accounting perspective due to the Company’s continuing involvement in the transaction related to the participation in certain future revenues earned by GGP. Certain of the assets, liabilities and operating results related to the ownership and operation of the mall by Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC subsequent to the sale will continue to be accounted for by the Restricted Subsidiaries, and therefore are included in the “Restricted Subsidiaries” columns in the following condensed consolidating financial information. As a result, net liabilities of $6.6$10.2 million (consisting of $260.8$257.4 million of property and equipment, offset by $267.4$267.6 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale) and $3.0 million (consisting of $264.1 million of property and equipment, offset by $267.1 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale) as of March 31,June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and a net loss (consisting primarily of depreciation expense) of $3.8 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, respectively, and $11.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, related to the mall and are being accounted for by the Restricted Subsidiaries. These balances and amounts are not collateral for the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

The Company revised its condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, to correct the classification of dividends received by Las Vegas Sands Corp. from the Restricted Subsidiaries. The revision was made to appropriately classify dividends received that represent a return on investment as an operating activity. The revision resulted in an increase of $28.6$49.1 million to the Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s “net cash generated from operating activities” for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, with a corresponding decrease to “net cash generated from investing activities.” The Company will revise the Las Vegas Sands Corp. column in the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows to increase “net cash generated from operating activities” by $49.1 million and $85.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, with a corresponding decrease to “net cash generated from investing activities” the next time they are filed. The Company will also revise the Restricted Subsidiaries column in the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows to increase “net cash generated from operating activities” by $60.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, with a corresponding decrease to “net cash generated from investing activities” the next time they are filed. The revision will be made to appropriately classify dividends received by the Restricted Subsidiaries from the non-restricted subsidiaries that represent a return on investment. These revisions, which the Company determined are not material, had no impact on any financial statements or footnotes, except for the Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Restricted Subsidiaries columns of the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. See “— Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Operations

We view each of our casino properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”) of the People’s Republic of China consist of The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (“The Venetian Macao”); the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip and the Plaza Casino (collectively, the “Four Seasons Macao”); the Sands Macao; Sands Cotai Central, which opened phase I in April 2012; and other ancillary operations in that region (“Other Asia”). Our operating segment in Singapore is the Marina Bay Sands. Our operating segments in the United States consist of The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino (“The Venetian Las Vegas”), The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino (“The Palazzo”) and the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem (the “Sands Bethlehem”). The Venetian Las Vegas and The Palazzo operating segments are managed as a single integrated resort and have been aggregated into one reportable segment (the “Las Vegas Operating Properties”), considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products, the regulatory business environment of the operations within each segment and our organizational and management reporting structure.

Macao

We own 70.3% of Sands China Ltd. (“SCL”), which includes the operations of the Sands Macao, The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Cotai Central and other ancillary operations that support these properties. We operate the gaming areas within these properties pursuant to a 20-year gaming subconcession.

Approximately 83.8%83.4% and 84.0%84.7% of the gross revenue at The Venetian Macao for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived from room, mall, food and beverage and other non-gaming sources.

We own the Four Seasons Macao which is located(located on parcel 2 and2), which is adjacent and connected to The Venetian Macao. The Four Seasons Macao is an integrated resort that includes 360 rooms and suites managed and operated by Four Seasons Hotels Inc., and features 19 Paiza mansions; approximately 91,000 square feet of gaming space; retail space of approximately 211,000 square feet, which is connected to the mall at The Venetian Macao; several food and beverage offerings; and conference, banquet and other facilities operated by us.

Approximately 91.0%89.0% and 89.8%84.6% of the gross revenue at the Four Seasons Macao for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived primarily from mall and other non-gaming sources.room operations.

We own and operate the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macao. The Sands Macao includes approximately 197,000 square feet of gaming space; a 289-suite hotel tower; several restaurants; VIP facilities; a theater and other high-end services and amenities. Approximately 95.0%94.6% and 94.6%94.7% of the gross revenue at the Sands Macao for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived primarily derived from food and beverage.beverage operations.

In April 2012, we opened phase I of our Sands Cotai Central integrated resort which is located(located on parcels 5 and 6 and6), which is situated across the street from The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao. Phase I consists of a hotel tower on parcel 5, which includes approximately 600 five-star rooms and suites under the Conrad brand and approximately 1,200 four-star rooms and suites under the Holiday Inn brand. Phase I also includes completion of the structural work of an adjacent hotel tower, located on parcel 6, to be managed by Sheraton International Inc. and Sheraton Overseas Management Co. (collectively “Starwood”) under the Sheraton Towers brand; a variety of retail offerings; more than 300,000 square feet of meeting space; several food and beverage establishments; along with the 106,000-square-foot casino and VIP gaming areas. Phase IIA, which is currently scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2012, includes the opening of the first hotel tower on parcel 6, which will feature nearly 2,000up to 2,500 Sheraton-branded rooms, along with the second casino and the remaining retail, entertainment, dining and meeting facilities. Phase IIB, which is projected to open in the

first quarter of 2013, consists of the second hotel tower on parcel 6 and

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our financial

condition and results of operations. We believe that these critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 29, 2012.

There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2011 Annual Report.

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Cotai Central, (which opened in April 2012), Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price that can be charged for hotel rooms and the volume of table games and slot machine play (including similar electronic gaming devices). Operating revenues at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem are principally driven by casino customers who visit the properties on a daily basis.

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore:Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups, consistent with the Macao and Singapore markets’ convention: Rolling Chip play (all VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is the sum of markers issued (credit instruments) less markers paid at the table, plus cash deposited in the table drop box. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as the amounts wagered and lost are substantially higher than the amounts dropped. Slot handle (“handle”), also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Based upon our mix of table games, our Rolling Chip win

percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) is expected to be 2.7% to 3.0% and our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 27.3%29.2%, 20.5%20.6%, 40.3%42.1% and 23.0%22.8% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of 6.4%5.7%, 5.5%4.6%, 5.7%5.6% and 5.3% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win may vary from the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 31.2%31.7% and 37.3%35.6%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012.

Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.:The volume measurements in the U.S. are table games drop and slot handle, as previously described. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of handle. As in Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Based upon our mix of table games, our table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 17.9%20.0% and 14.8%14.5% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and at Sands Bethlehem, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of 8.7% and 7.2% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and at Sands Bethlehem, respectively. Actual win may vary from the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. As in Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Approximately 75.6%72.7% of our table games play in Las Vegas, for threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, was conducted on a credit basis, while our table games play in Pennsylvania is primarily conducted on a cash basis.

Hotel revenue measurements:HotelPerformance indicators used are occupancy rate, which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day, are used as performance indicators.day. The calculations of the hotel occupancy and average daily room rates include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room represents a summary of hotel average daily room rates and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, average daily room rates are normally higher than revenue per available room. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit may be re-sold to walk-in guests. These rooms are considered to be occupied twice for statistical purposes due to obtaining the original deposit and the walk-in guest revenue. In cases where a significant number of rooms are resold, occupancy rates may be in excess of 100% and revenue per available room may be higher than the average daily room rate.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area (“GLOA”) divided by gross leasable area (“GLA”) at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space that is currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base, or minimum, rent charge in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

In our experience, average win percentages remain steady when measured over extended periods of time, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances that are associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Operating expenses were $2.06$2.18 billion for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, an increase of $429.2$447.2 million compared to $1.63$1.74 billion for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increasedthe opening of Sands Cotai Central, increases in casino activity across all properties, an increase inand pre-opening expenseexpenses, and a $42.9$100.8 million impairment charge.

Casino expenses increased $286.0$213.0 million compared to the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. Of the increase, $154.4 million was due to the 39.0% gross win tax on increased casino revenues across all of our Macao operations and $56.0$176.8 million was attributable to theSands Cotai Central. There was also an increase of $104.2 million at Four Seasons Macao, driven primarily by an increase in gaming taxes due to increased casino revenue, and increases of $9.7 million at Sands Bethlehem and $9.1 million at Marina Bay Sands. This was partially offset by decreases of $55.0 million at The Venetian Macao and $35.8 million at Sands Macao, driven primarily by a decrease in gaming taxes due to decreased casino revenue.

Room and food and beverage mall and convention, retail and other expenses increased $4.3 million, $6.6 million, $4.2$9.8 million and $4.4$8.8 million, respectively, compared to the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. The increases were driven by the associated increases in the related revenues described above.

Convention, retail and other expenses decreased $10.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $9.9 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, driven by a decrease in entertainment expense.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $52.2$58.4 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, compared to $35.1$23.5 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $13.0$28.5 million increase at Marina Bay Sands driven by

an increase in accounts receivable related to credit extended to gaming patrons. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the customers who owe us money from gaming activities at any given time. We believe that the amount of our provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

CorporateGeneral and administrative expenses increased $11.4$35.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily dueattributable to $24.1 million in expenses at Sands Cotai Central.

Adjusted Property EBITDA

Adjusted property EBITDA is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Adjusted property EBITDA is net income before royalty fees, stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, impairment loss, loss on disposal of assets, interest, other income (expense), loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. The following table summarizes information related to our segments (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Segment Information” for discussion of our operating segments and a reconciliation of adjusted property EBITDA to net income):

Our effective income tax rate was 9.8%12.0% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, compared to 11.0%10.0% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao, which, if not extended, will expire in 2013. We have recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets or a portion thereof are realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowances in the period such determination is made.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $80.2$45.8 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, compared to $75.2$78.5 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Convention, retail and other revenues increased $11.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to increases of $7.6 million in Other Asia, driven by our ferry operations, and $6.0 million at The Venetian Macao.

Operating expenses were $4.24 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $876.4 million compared to $3.36 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased casino activity at our operating properties, the opening of Sands Cotai Central, an increase in pre-opening expense and $143.7 million in impairment charges.

Casino expenses increased $499.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Of the increase, $219.8 million was due to Four Seasons Macao, driven by the 39% gross win tax on increased casino revenue, $176.8 million was attributable to Sands Cotai Central and $65.1 million was due to Marina Bay Sands.

Room, food and beverage and mall expenses increased $14.1 million, $15.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increases were driven by the associated increases in the related revenues described above.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $110.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $58.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $41.6 million increase in provisions at the Marina Bay Sands driven by an increase in accounts receivable related to credit extended to gaming patrons. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the customers who owe us money from gaming activities at any given time. We believe that the amount of our provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased $43.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $24.1 million at Sands Cotai Central and a $12.2 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties.

Corporate expenses increased $27.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, driven by an increase in legal fees.

Pre-opening expenses were $94.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Pre-opening expense represents personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were primarily related to activities at Sands Cotai Central.

Impairment loss was $143.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, consisting primarily of a $100.7 million write-off of capitalized construction costs related to our Cotai Strip parcels 7 and 8 in Macao and a $42.9 million impairment due to the termination of the ZAiA show at The Venetian Macao (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Property and Equipment, Net”).

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $117.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $51.8 million in adjusted property EBITDA generated at Sands Cotai Central and a $48.9 million increase at Four Seasons Macao, driven by an increase in casino activity.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $113.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $220.9 million increase in net revenues, partially offset by an increase of $65.1 million in casino expenses driven by increased casino activity, as well as increases in the other associated operating expenses.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $22.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $59.6 million increase in net revenues (excluding intersegment royalty revenue), partially offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem increased $11.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $42.5 million increase in net revenues, driven by an increase in casino activity and the opening of the 300-room hotel tower in May 2011, partially offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Interest cost decreased $50.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulting primarily from a decrease in our weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased $28.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the completion of phase I of Sands Cotai Central in April 2012.

Other Factors Effecting Earnings

Other expense was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The amounts in both periods were primarily attributable to decreases in the fair value of our interest rate cap agreements and foreign exchange losses.

The loss on modification or early retirement of debt was $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and was primarily due to a $13.1 million loss related to the refinancing of our Singapore credit facility in June 2012 (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Long-Term Debt — Singapore Credit Facility”).

Our effective income tax rate was 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 10.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao, which, if not extended, will expire in 2013. We have recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets or a portion thereof are realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowances in the period such determination is made.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $126.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $153.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Development Projects

We have suspended portions of our development projects and should general economic conditions fail to improve, if we are unable to obtain sufficient funding or applicable government approvals such that completion of our suspended projects is not probable, or should management decide to abandon certain projects, all or a portion of our investment to date on our suspended projects could be lost and would result in an impairment charge.

Macao

We submitted plans to the Macao government for our otherremaining Cotai Strip developments, which represent two integrated resort developmentsdevelopment (referred to as parcels 3parcel 3), an integrated resort that will be connected to The Venetian Macao and 7 and 8).Four Seasons Macao. Subject to government approval, the approval from the Macao government, as discussed further below, the developments are expectedintegrated resort is intended to include hotels, exhibitiona gaming area (to be operated under our Macao gaming subconcession), hotel and conference facilities, gaming areas, showrooms, spas, dining, retail and entertainment facilities and other amenities.shopping mall. We commenced pre-construction activities on these developments and planhave capitalized costs of $98.1 million, including the land premium (net of amortization), as of June 30, 2012. We intend to operatecommence construction after the related gaming areas under our Macao gaming subconcession.necessary government approvals are obtained. In addition, we are completing the development of some public areas surrounding our Cotai Strip properties on behalf of the Macao government. We currently intend to develop our other Cotai Strip properties as follows:

Parcel 3 — Once completed, the integrated resort on parcel 3 will be connected to The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao. The multi-hotel complex is intended to include a gaming area, a shopping mall and serviced luxury apart-hotel units. We commenced pre-construction activities and have capitalized costs of $96.7 million, including the land premium (net of amortization), as of March 31, 2012. We intend to commence construction after Sands Cotai Central is complete and necessary government approvals are obtained.

Parcels 7 and 8 — Consistent with our original plans, we had commenced pre-construction activities and have capitalized construction costs of $101.1 million as of March 31, 2012. We intend to commence construction after Sands Cotai Central and the integrated resort on parcel 3 are completed, necessary government approvals are obtained (including the land concession), future demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained. If we are successful in winning our judicial appeal and obtaining the land concession for parcels 7 and 8 (as discussed below), the related integrated resort is expected to be similar in size and scope to Sands Cotai Central.

The impactestimated overall cost of the delayed construction on our previously estimated cost to complete our Cotai Strip developments on parcels 3 and 7 and 8project is currently not determinable with certainty.

As of March 31,June 30, 2012, we have capitalized an aggregate of $7.78$7.98 billion in construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization) for our Cotai Strip developments, including The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Sands Cotai Central, as well as our investments in transportation infrastructure, including our passenger ferry service operations. In addition to funding phases I and II of Sands Cotai Central with borrowings under our new $3.7 billion Macao credit facility completed in November 2011 (the “2011 VML Credit Facility,” see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources —Development— Development Financing Strategy” for further disclosure), we will need to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of our Cotai Strip developments and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing required or on terms suitable to us.

Land concessions in Macao generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macao law. We have received land concessions from the Macao government to build on parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6, including the sites on which The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Sands Cotai Central are located. We do not own these land sites in Macao; however, the land concessions grant us exclusive use of the land. As specified in the land concessions, we are required to pay premiums for each parcel, which are either payable in a single lump sum upon acceptance of the land concessions by the Macao government or in seven semi-annual installments, as well as annual rent for the term of the land concessions. In December 2010, we received notice from the Macao government that our application for a land concession for parcels 7 and 8 was not approved and we applied to the Chief Executive of Macao for an executive review of the decision. In January 2011, we filed a judicial appeal with the Court of Second Instance in Macao, which has yet to issue a decision. Should we win our judicial appeal, it is still possible for the Chief Executive of Macao to again deny the land concession based upon public policy considerations. If we do not obtain the land concession or do not receive full reimbursement of our capitalized investment in this project, we would record a charge for all or some portion of the $101.1 million in capitalized construction costs, as of March 31, 2012, related to our development on parcels 7 and 8.

Under our land concession for parcel 3, we initially were initially required to complete the corresponding development by August 2011. The2011, but subsequently were granted an extension from the Macao government, haswhich extended the deadline until April 2013. In July 2012, the Macao government granted us a two-yearan additional extension, to completewhich now requires the development of parcel 3, which now mustto be completed by April 2013.2016. The land concession for Sands Cotai Central contains a similar requirement that the corresponding development be completed by May 2014. We intend to apply for an extension from the Macao government to complete our parcel 3 development as we will be unable to meet the April 2013 deadline. Should we determine that we are unable to complete Sands Cotai Centralthe developments by May 2014,their respective deadlines, we also intend to apply for an extensionextensions from the Macao government. Nogovernment; however, no assurances can be given that additional extensions will be granted. If we are unable to meet the applicable deadline for Sands Cotai Centralthese deadlines and the deadlines for either development are not extended, we could lose our land concessions for parcel 3 or Sands Cotai Central or parcel 3, which would prohibit us from operating any facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, we could record a charge for all or some portion of the $96.7$3.59 billion or $98.1 million and $3.32 billion in capitalized construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization), as of March 31,June 30, 2012, related to our development on parcel 3 or Sands Cotai Central and parcel 3, respectively.

United States

We were constructing a high-rise residential condominium tower (the “Las Vegas Condo Tower”), located on the Las Vegas Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. We suspended our construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. We intend to recommence construction when demand and conditions improve. As of March 31,June 30, 2012, we have capitalized construction costs of $178.3$178.8 million for this project. The impact of the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with certainty.

We continue to aggressively pursue a variety of new development opportunities around the world.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. The retail hotel rooms business is generally conducted on a cash basis, the group hotel rooms business is conducted on a cash and credit basis, and banquet business is conducted primarily on a credit basis resulting in operating cash flows being generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable. Net cash generated from operating activities for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, increased $249.1$336.8 million compared to the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our operating incomeresults during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, as previously described.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, totaled $398.3$735.5 million, including $305.3$574.6 million for construction and development activities in Macao (primarily for our Sands Cotai Central development); $62.4Central), $87.4 million for construction activities in Singapore; $9.0Singapore, $13.6 million for construction activities at Sands Bethlehem;Bethlehem and $21.6$59.9 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and for corporate and other activities.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $144.6 million$1.08 billion for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, which was primarily attributable to $383.5$767.6 million in dividend payments and the repayments of $413.3 million on our U.S. credit facility and $140.3 million on our ferry financing, as well as $189.7 million for the redemption of our Senior Notes, and $98.6 million in repayments under our Singapore credit facility, partially offset by $525.0 million of proceeds from the exercise of warrants by our Principal Stockholder’s family.

As of March 31,June 30, 2012, we had $1.10$1.41 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of letters of credit.

Development Financing Strategy

Through March 31,June 30, 2012, we have funded our development projects primarily through borrowings under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from our equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.

The U.S. credit facility, as amended in August 2010, requires our Las Vegas operations to comply with certain financial covenants at the end of each quarter, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The maximum leverage ratio is 5.5x for the quarterly periodsperiod ended March 31 and June 30, 2012, and then decreases to 5.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. We can elect to contribute up to $50 million of cash on hand to our Las Vegas operations on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating

compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the “EBITDA true-up”). The Singapore credit facility requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 5.25x for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012, and then decreases by 0.25x every other quarter until September 30, 2014, when it decreases to, and remains at, 3.75x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. In Macao, our 2011 VML Credit Facility entered into in September 2011, also requires our Macao operations to comply with similar financial covenants, which commenced with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.5x for the quarterly periods ended March 31,June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2013, decreases to 4.0x for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2013 through December 31, 2014, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ended March 31 through December 31, 2015, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. Our Singapore credit facility (the “2012 Singapore Credit Facility”), entered into in June 2012, requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2012 through September 30, 2013, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. As of March 31,June 30, 2012, our U.S., Singapore and Macao leverage ratios were 2.5x, 2.2x,1.3x and 1.9x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 5.5x 5.25x and 4.5x, respectively. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, we would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under the U.S. credit facility would trigger a cross-default under our airplane financings. Certain defaults under the 2011 VML Credit Facility would trigger a cross-default under our ferry financing. Any defaults or cross-defaults under these agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance that we would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force us to restructure or alter our operations or debt obligations.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.52 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.06 billion and $7.3$7.6 million respectively, as of March 31,June 30, 2012, of which approximately $2.97$2.49 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.97$2.49 billion, approximately $2.36$2.05 billion is available to be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal taxes owed on such amounts due to the significant foreign taxes we paid, which would ultimately generate U.S. foreign tax credits if cash is repatriated. The remaining unrestricted amounts are not available for repatriation primarily due to dividend requirements to third party public shareholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL. We believe the cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our developments currently under construction and maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate our capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. In November 2011, we completed the $3.7 billion 2011 VML Credit Facility, which was used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the VML and VOL credit facilities, as well as continue to fund the development, construction and completion of certain components of Sands Cotai Central. In March 2012, we redeemed the outstanding balance of Senior Notes for $191.7 million and recorded a $2.8 million loss on early retirement of debt during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012. In May 2012, we repaid the $131.6 million outstanding balance under our ferry financing and recorded a $1.7 million loss on early retirement of debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. In June 2012, we entered into the 5.1 billion Singapore dollar (approximately $4.02 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2012) 2012 Singapore Credit Facility, which was used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the prior Singapore credit facility. As a result, we recorded a $13.1 million loss on modification and early retirement of debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. In June 2012, we repaid $400.0 million of indebtedness under the term loans of our U.S. credit facility and recorded a $1.6 million loss on early retirement of debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

On February 28 and June 22, 2012, SCL paid a dividend of 0.58 Hong Kong dollars per share (a total of $599.8 million)$1.20 billion) to SCL shareholders of record on February 20, 2012 (of which we retained $421.6$844.4 million). On March 30 and June 29, 2012, we paid a dividend of $0.25 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, we recorded $205.7$411.5 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which $107.8$215.7 million related to our Principal Stockholder’s family). In AprilJuly 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $206 million) to be paid on June 29,September 28, 2012, to shareholders of record on JuneSeptember 20, 2012.

On March 2, 2012, our Principal Stockholder’s family exercised all of their outstanding warrants to purchase 87,500,175 shares of our common stock and paid $525.0 million in cash as settlement of the exercise price.

In March 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”), secured a commitment for a new 5.1 billion Singapore dollar (“SGD,” approximately $4.06 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2012) credit facility, which is expected to consist of a SGD 4.6 billion (approximately $3.66 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2012) term loan and a SGD 500.0 million (approximately $398.1 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2012) revolving facility, which will include a SGD 100.0 million (approximately $79.6 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2012) swingline facility. The proceeds from the new facility will be used to refinance the existing Singapore credit facility, to pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes. MBS has commenced marketing of the new facility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we intend to repay the outstanding balance of $131.6 million on the ferry financing using unrestricted cash on hand. This early repayment of the ferry financing will result in an estimated average annual interest expense saving of approximately $2.3 million and an estimated total interest expense saving of approximately $8.8 million. It also further simplifies our capital structure.

Aggregate Indebtedness and Other Known Contractual Obligations

As of March 31,June 30, 2012, there had been no material changes to our aggregated indebtedness and other known contractual obligations, which are set forth in the table included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.2011, with the exception of the following:

borrowings of $3.63 billion under our 2012 Singapore Credit Facility (which mature in June 2018 and include quarterly payments commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2014, with the remaining principal due in full upon maturity), which were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the prior Singapore credit facility (which would have matured in March 2015);

repayment of $400.0 million under the term loans of our U.S credit facility on a pro rata basis (which would have matured between May 2013 and November 2016);

redemption of $191.7 million of the outstanding principal of our senior notes (which would have matured in February 2015); and

repayment of $131.6 million outstanding balance under our ferry financing (which would have matured in December 2015).

Restrictions on Distributions

We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and membership interests of our subsidiaries. The debt instruments of our U.S., Macao and Singapore subsidiaries contain certain restrictions that, among other things,

limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell our assets of our company without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.

Inflation

We believe that inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our sales, revenues or income from continuing operations during the past year.

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. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt, which we attempt to manage through the use of interest rate cap agreements. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions. Our derivative financial instruments consist exclusively of interest rate cap agreements, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Interest differentials resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expense.

To manage exposure to counterparty credit risk in interest rate cap agreements, we enter into agreements with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. Frequently, these institutions are also members of the bank group providing our credit facilities, which management believes further minimizes the risk of nonperformance.

The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on March 31,June 30, 2012, LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements. The information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which is the Company’s reporting currency, for the twelve months ending March 31:June 30:

The estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

(2)

Based upon contractual interest rates for fixed rate indebtedness or current LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR for variable-rate indebtedness. Based on variable-rate debt levels as of March 31,June 30, 2012, an assumed 100 basis point change in LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR would cause our annual interest cost to change approximately $97.5$94.1 million.

(3)

As of March 31,June 30, 2012, we have 3736 interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.2$0.4 million based on quoted market values from the institutions holding the agreements.

Borrowings under the U.S. credit facility, as amended, bear interest, at our election, at either an adjusted Eurodollar rate or at an alternative base rate plus a credit spread. The portions of the revolving facility and term loans that were not extended bear interest at the alternative base rate plus 0.25% per annum or 0.5% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.25% per annum or 1.5% per annum, respectively. The extended revolving facility and extended term loans bear interest at the alternative base

rate plus 1.0% per annum or 1.5% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.0% per annum or 2.5% per annum, respectively. Applicable spreads under the U.S. credit facility are subject to downward adjustments based upon our credit rating. Borrowings under the 2011 VML Credit Facility bear interest at either the adjusted Eurodollar rate or an alternative base rate (in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans) or HIBOR (in the case of Hong Kong dollar and Macao pataca denominated loans), as applicable, plus a spread of 1.5% per annum to 2.25% per annum based on a specified consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the 2012 Singapore Credit Facility bear interest at SOR plus a spread of 1.85% per annum until May 13,December 22, 2012 (the first 180 days after the closing date). Beginning May 14,December 23, 2012, the spread for all borrowings is subject to a reduction based on a specified consolidated leverageadjusted EBITDA ratio. Borrowings under the Singapore credit facility bear interest at SOR plus a spread of 2.25% per annum. Borrowings under the airplane financings bear interest at LIBOR plus approximately 1.5% per annum. Borrowings under the ferry financing, as amended, bear interest at HIBOR plus 2.5% per annum.

Foreign currency transaction losses for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, were $2.3$0.5 million. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate. Based on balances as of March 31,June 30, 2012, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of approximately $15.0$14.8 million. We do not hedge our exposure to foreign currencies; however, we maintain a significant amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have obligations thereby reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations.

ITEM 4 —CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Company as of March 31,June 30, 2012, and have concluded that they are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
