NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Tribe”) established the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) in July 1995 with the exclusive power to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Tribe on Tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. The Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe with an approximately 405-acre reservation located in southeastern Connecticut. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, federally recognized Indian tribes are permitted to conduct full-scale casino gaming operations on tribal land, subject to, among other things, the negotiation of a compact with the affected state. The Tribe and the State of Connecticut have entered into such a compact (the “Mohegan Compact”), which has been approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior. The Authority is primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of gaming facilities. On October 12, 1996, the Authority opened a casino known as the Mohegan Sun Casino (“Mohegan Sun”). On January 25, 2005, the Authority purchased Pocono Downs, a harness racing facility, and five off-track wagering (“OTW”) facilities located in Pennsylvania. The Authority is governed by a nine-member Management Board, consisting of the same nine members as those of the Mohegan Tribal Council (the governing body of the Tribe). Any change in the composition of the Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in the Authority’s Management Board.

As of March 31, 2005, the Authority has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Mohegan Basketball Club LLC (“MBC”), Mohegan Ventures-Northwest, LLC (“Mohegan Ventures-NW”), Downs Racing, L.P., Backside, L.P., Mill Creek Land, L.P., Northeast Concessions, L.P., and Mohegan Commercial Ventures PA, LLC (“MCV-PA”). MBC owns and operates a professional basketball team in the Women’s National Basketball Association (“WNBA”), the Connecticut Sun, and owns approximately 3.9% of the membership interests in WNBA, LLC. Mohegan Ventures-NW holds a 54.15% membership interest in Salishan-Mohegan LLC (“Salishan-Mohegan”), formed with an unrelated third party to participate in the development and management of a casino to be owned by the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and located in Clark County, Washington (the “Cowlitz Project”). MCV-PA holds a 0.01% general partnership interest in Downs Racing, L.P., Backside, L.P., Mill Creek Land, L.P., and Northeast Concessions, L.P. (collectively, the “Pocono Downs entities”), while the Authority holds the remaining 99.99% limited partnership interest. The Pocono Downs entities own and operate the Pocono Downs harness racing and OTW facilities in Pennsylvania. The Authority views Mohegan Sun and the Pennsylvania properties as separate operating segments.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 10-01, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. Operating results for the quarter and the six months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Authority’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004. In addition, certain amounts in the 2004 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Authority and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46”), the accounts of Salishan-Mohegan are consolidated into the accounts of Mohegan Ventures-NW as it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. In consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“FAS 153”). FAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. FAS 153 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Authority does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Authority’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITION OF POCONO DOWNS ENTITIES

On January 25, 2005, the Authority and its wholly owned subsidiary, MCV-PA, completed their acquisition of all the partnership interests in the Pocono Downs entities for approximately $281.0 million in cash. The Pocono Downs entities own Pocono Downs, a harness racing facility in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and five OTW facilities also located in Pennsylvania. The results of operations for the Pocono Downs entities are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from January 25, 2005.

As a result of the acquisition of Pocono Downs, the Authority has the right to apply for a Pennsylvania Category One slot machine license, which, if approved, would initially permit the installation and operation of up to 3,000 slot machines at Pocono Downs. The purchase agreement for the Pocono Downs entities includes a provision that would generally require the seller to repurchase all the partnerships interests in the entities, at the election of the Authority, if a Category One license has not been issued or has been denied to the Authority by July 1, 2006 as a result of the conduct of the seller or if no conditional or permanent licenses have been issued in Pennsylvania by July 1, 2006.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The Authority has obtained and is in the process of reviewing a third party valuation, thus the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement. The right to obtain a Category One slot license was determined to be an intangible asset with an indefinite life apart from goodwill. Certain other intangible assets were identified in the valuation process, but were not separated from goodwill due to immateriality of the amounts. The goodwill, which is not subject to amortization, and intangible asset noted below, will be assessed periodically for impairment pursuant to FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

NOTE 4—FINANCING FACILITIES:

Financing facilities, as described below, consist of the following (in thousands):

Bank Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2005, the Authority has a loan agreement for up to $450.0 million from a syndicate of financial institutions and commercial banks, with Bank of America, N.A. serving as administrative agent (the “Bank Credit Facility”). The Bank Credit Facility is comprised of a revolving loan of up to $450.0 million, which matures on March 31, 2008. The maximum aggregate principal amount available for borrowing includes amounts available under letters of credit. As of March 31, 2005, the amount available under letters of credit totaled $309,070, of which no amount was drawn (refer to “Letters of Credit” below). The revolving loan has no mandatory amortization provisions and is payable in full at maturity. The Authority had $413.7 million available for borrowing under the Bank Credit Facility as of March 31, 2005 (without taking into account covenants under the Line of Credit described below). On February 8, 2005, the Authority used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2005 Senior Notes and the 2005 Senior Subordinated Notes, as well as cash provided by operating activities, to repay $399.4 million of amounts outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility, which included a $136.4 million payment to extinguish the remaining balance on the term loan and a $263.0 million payment to reduce amounts outstanding on the revolving loan. As a result of these payments, the total commitment under the Bank Credit Facility was reduced from $600.0 million to $450.0 million.

In October 2004, the Authority received the requisite consent of its lenders to Amendment No. 3 to its Bank Credit Facility. Amendment No. 3, among other things, provided for an increase in the total loan commitment from $382.7 million to $600.0 million, which included the $450.0 million revolving loan and a $150.0 million term loan, and permitted the Authority to make the Pocono Downs acquisition and certain other investments planned for Pocono Downs. Amendment No. 3 also modified certain provisions of the loan agreement, including the Authority’s covenants relating to total leverage ratio requirements.

The Bank Credit Facility is collateralized by a lien on substantially all of the Authority’s assets, including the assets of the Pocono Downs entities, and a leasehold mortgage on the land and improvements which comprise Mohegan Sun. The Authority will also be required to pledge additional assets as collateral for the Bank Credit Facility as it or its guarantor subsidiaries acquire them. The Authority’s obligations under the Bank Credit Facility are guaranteed by MBC, MCV-PA and the Pocono Downs entities. The Bank Credit Facility subjects the Authority to a number of restrictive covenants, including financial covenants. These financial covenants relate to, among other things, its permitted total debt and senior debt leverage ratios, its minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and the Authority’s maximum capital expenditures. The Bank Credit Facility includes non-financial covenants by the Authority and the Tribe of the type customarily found in loan agreements for similar transactions including requirements that:

As of March 31, 2005, the Authority and the Tribe were in compliance with all of their respective covenant requirements in the Bank Credit Facility.

At the Authority’s option, each advance of loan proceeds accrues interest on the basis of a base rate or on the basis of a one-month, two-month, three-month, six-month or twelve-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus in either case, the applicable spread at the time each loan is made. The Authority also pays commitment fees for the unused portion of the revolving loan on a quarterly basis equal to the applicable spread for commitment fees times the average daily unused commitment for that calendar quarter. Applicable spreads are based on the Authority’s Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Bank Credit Facility. The applicable spread for base rate advances is between 0.50% and 1.25%, and the applicable spread for LIBOR rate advances is between 1.75% and 2.50%. The applicable spread for commitment fees is between 0.375% and 0.50%. The base rate is the higher of Bank of America’s announced prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period or quarterly in arrears, if earlier. Interest on base rate advances is payable quarterly in arrears. As of March 31, 2005, the Authority had $6.0 million in base rate loans and $30.0 million in LIBOR rate loans outstanding. The LIBOR rate loans outstanding as of March 31, 2005 were based on a one-month LIBOR rate of 2.87% plus an applicable spread of 2.0%. The base rate loans outstanding at March 31, 2005 were based on the bank’s prime rate of 5.75% plus an applicable spread of 0.75%. The applicable spread for commitment fees was 0.5% as of March 31, 2005. Accrued interest, including commitment fees, on the Bank Credit Facility was $87,000 and $186,000 as of March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively.

Borrowings under the Line of Credit are uncollateralized obligations of the Authority. The Line of Credit expires in March 2006. The Line of Credit subjects the Authority to certain covenants, including a covenant to maintain at least $25.0 million available for borrowing under the Bank Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2005, the Authority was in compliance with all covenant requirements in the Line of Credit. As of March 31, 2005, the Authority had $7.0 million available for borrowing under the Line of Credit. The interest rate in effect at March 31, 2005 was 4.35% on the outstanding balance on the Line of Credit, which consisted of LIBOR loans.

Note and Mortgage Payables

In July 2004, the Authority’s wholly owned subsidiary, Mohegan Ventures-NW, formed a limited liability company, Salishan-Mohegan, with Salishan Company, LLC (“Salishan Company”), an unrelated third party. Upon formation of Salishan-Mohegan, Salishan Company contributed, among other things, land with a mortgage payable of $2.6 million and land purchase options with a note payable of $1.0 million. The mortgage payable

bears interest due on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 9.5%, with the principal balance payable in full on March 28, 2006. The note payable, including accrued interest of $150,000, was repaid at maturity on December 31, 2004. There was no accrued interest on the mortgage payable as of March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004. Any and all amounts paid by Salishan-Mohegan, including interest payments, pursuant to these agreements are reimbursable by the Cowlitz Indian Tribe provided certain events occur, as prescribed in the development agreement between Salishan-Mohegan and the Cowlitz Indian Tribe.

Derivative Instruments

The Authority is considered an “end user” of derivative instruments and engages in derivative transactions from time to time for risk management purposes only.

Derivative instruments held by the Authority at March 31, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):

Six-month LIBOR was 3.40% on March 31, 2005.

On March 10, 2005, the Authority entered into two interest rate swap agreements, each based on six-month LIBOR plus a spread of 116 basis points and each hedging $50 million of the 2005 Senior Notes. On March 23, 2005, the Authority entered into three additional interest rate swap agreements, which are also based on LIBOR plus spreads of 87 to 91 basis points and hedging $50.0 million, $75.0 million and $25.0 million of the 2005 Senior Notes. Under this agreement, the Authority makes payments on the variable interest rate provided by the derivative instrument and receives payments equal to the fixed interest rate on the debt being hedged. These interest rate swap agreements qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133, as amended, and are designated as fair value hedges. The net fair market value liability of the interest rate swap agreements of $1.6 million has adjusted the carrying value of the 2005 Senior Notes as of March 31, 2005. The Authority has classified the net fair market value liability into its current and non-current components on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, which resulted in $2.1 million recorded to other current assets and $3.7 million recorded to other long-term liabilities. An estimate of $13,000 for accrued interest settlements earned on these derivative instruments through March 31, 2005 has been recorded as an offset to interest expense and is included in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In July 2003, the Authority entered into four interest rate swap agreements, each based on six-month LIBOR plus spreads of 297 to 298 basis points and each hedging $82.5 million of the 2003 Senior Subordinated Notes. Also in July, 2003, the Authority entered into two other interest rate swap agreements, each based on six month

LIBOR plus spreads of 363 to 364 basis points and each hedging $35.0 million of the 2001 Senior Subordinated Notes. Under these agreements, the Authority made payments on the variable interest rate provided by the derivative instrument and received payments equal to the fixed interest rate on the debt being hedged. These interest rate swap agreements qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133, as amended, and were designated as fair value hedges. In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Authority sold these instruments for an aggregate loss of $5.1 million. The $5.1 million loss was deferred and added to the carrying value of the respective notes being hedged and is being amortized and recorded in interest expense over the remaining term of the respective notes, as adjusted for the tender of substantially all of the 2001 Senior Subordinated Notes in August 2004. For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2005, the Authority recorded amortization of $233,000 and $466,000, respectively, on the deferred loss to interest expense. The Authority expects to record $933,000 as an offset to interest expense over the next twelve months.

In February 2003, the Authority entered into two interest rate swap agreements, each based on six-month LIBOR plus spreads of 388 basis points and 387.5 basis points, respectively, and each hedging $75.0 million of the 2001 Senior Subordinated Notes. These interest rate swap agreements qualified for hedge accounting and were designated as fair value hedges. In March 2003, the Authority sold these instruments for a gain of $1.1 million. The $1.1 million gain was deferred and added to the carrying value of the 2001 Senior Subordinated Notes and is being amortized and recorded as a reduction in interest expense over the remaining term of the 2001 Senior Subordinated Notes, as adjusted for the tender of substantially all of the 2001 Senior Subordinated Notes in August 2004. For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2005, the Authority recorded amortization of $3,000 and $6,000, respectively, on the deferred loss to interest expense and expects to record $12,000 over the next twelve months as an offset to interest expense.

In August 2002, the Authority entered into three interest rate swap agreements, each based on six-month LIBOR plus a spread of 437 basis points with one instrument hedging $100.0 million of the 1999 Senior Notes and two instruments each hedging $50.0 million of the 1999 Senior Notes. These interest rate swap agreements qualified for hedge accounting and were designated as fair value hedges. During September 2002, the Authority sold these agreements for a gain of $2.2 million. The $2.2 million gain was deferred and added to the carrying value of the 1999 Senior Notes and is being amortized and recorded as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the 1999 Senior Notes, as adjusted for the tender of substantially all of the 1999 Senior Notes in August 2004. For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2005, the Authority recorded amortization of $12,000 and $23,000, respectively, as an offset to interest expense and expects to record approximately $35,000 as an offset to interest expense over the next twelve months.

Letters of Credit

The Authority maintains uncollateralized letters of credit to satisfy potential workers’ compensation and overdue pari-mutuel wagering tax liabilities that may arise. The letters of credit expire on August 31, 2005 and January 25, 2006, respectively. As of March 31, 2005, no amounts were drawn on the letters of credit.

NOTE 5—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Tribe provides governmental and administrative services to the Authority in conjunction with the operation of Mohegan Sun. During the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Authority incurred $4.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, incurred $8.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively, of expenses for such services. The Tribe, either through itself or one of its limited liability companies, has entered into various land lease agreements with the Authority for access, parking

and related purposes for Mohegan Sun. The Authority expensed $65,000 for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to these land lease agreements. For the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, expenses for the land lease agreements totaled $130,000 and $118,000, respectively.

The Authority purchases the majority of its utilities from an entity owned by the Tribe, the Mohegan Tribal Utility Authority, including electricity, gas, water and sewer. The Authority incurred costs of $4.5 million and $4.4 million for such utilities during the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Authority incurred costs of $8.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 6—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Mohegan Compact

In May 1994, the Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) which sets forth certain matters regarding implementation of the Mohegan Compact. The MOU stipulates that a portion of the revenues earned on slot machines must be paid to the State of Connecticut (“Slot Win Contribution”). The Slot Win Contribution payments will not be required if the State of Connecticut legalizes any other gaming operations with slot machines or other commercial casino table games within Connecticut, except those consented to by the Tribe and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe. For each 12-month period commencing July 1, 1995, the Slot Win Contribution shall be the lesser of (a) 30% of gross revenues from slot machines, or (b) the greater of (i) 25% of gross revenues from slot machines or (ii) $80.0 million.

The Authority reflected expenses associated with the Slot Win Contribution totaling $50.2 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the expenses associated with the Slot Win Contribution totaled $102.3 million and $100.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, outstanding Slot Win Contribution payments to the State of Connecticut totaled $17.6 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

Priority Distribution Agreement

In August 2001, the Authority and the Tribe entered into an agreement (the “Priority Distribution Agreement”), which obligates the Authority to make monthly payments to the Tribe to the extent of the Authority’s net cash flow, as defined in the Priority Distribution Agreement. The Priority Distribution Agreement, which has a perpetual term, also clarifies and records the terms pursuant to which the Authority made such payments to the Tribe prior to the effective date of the Priority Distribution Agreement. The Priority Distribution Agreement limits the maximum aggregate payments by the Authority to the Tribe in each calendar year to $14.0 million, as adjusted annually in accordance with the formula specified in the Priority Distribution Agreement to reflect the effects of inflation. However, payments pursuant to the Priority Distribution Agreement do not reduce the Authority’s obligations to make payments to reimburse the Tribe for governmental services provided by the Tribe or any payments under any other agreements with the Tribe. The monthly payments under the Priority Distribution Agreement are limited obligations of the Authority and are not secured by a lien or encumbrance on any assets or property of the Authority. The Authority’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect payments associated with the Priority Distribution Agreement of $3.9 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. For the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, these payments totaled $7.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively.

ACLS of New England, Inc.

The Authority has a 10-year laundry services agreement with ACLS of New England, Inc. (“ACLS”). The Authority has an option to renew the agreement for one additional 10-year term after its expiration in October 2012. Under the laundry services agreement, the Authority will pay an agreed upon rate for laundry services, adjusted annually for the Consumer Price Index and unusual increases in energy costs. Additionally, the Authority has made a $500,000 loan to ACLS to develop the laundry service facility. Pursuant to the terms of the loan, interest may accrue based on the exercise of the renewal options or other certain circumstances. In the event that circumstances occur where interest will be accrued, interest shall accrue commencing from the date of the advance at an annual rate of five percent.

The Authority also entered into a co-investment and escrow agreement with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation (“MPTN”) and ACLS. Under the terms of those agreements, the Authority and MPTN may, under certain circumstances, become the joint owners of the laundry facility and be jointly and severally obligated to repay a term loan which is secured by a mortgage on the laundry facility. The term of the agreements is for ten years and, if the Authority and MPTN become obligated to repay the term loan, the maximum potential future payments (undiscounted) the Authority and MPTN could be required to make is approximately $6.4 million.

Land Purchase Options

Upon formation of Salishan-Mohegan, Salishan Company contributed land purchase options related to property to be assigned to the Cowlitz Indian Tribe for purposes of the Cowlitz Project, upon (1) receipt of necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino and (2) the underlying property being taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior. The land purchase options permit Salishan-Mohegan to purchase land at specified closing dates no later than May 2005 and April 2006 for $7.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, which are net of deposits paid prior to formation of Salishan-Mohegan by Salishan Company. Under the option agreements, Salishan-Mohegan also is required to make extension payments on the aggregate agreed-upon net purchase price of $11.7 million at an annual rate of 6.5%, with applicable portions payable on the respective closing dates or termination of the options agreements.

Environmental Contingencies

Prior to acquiring the Pocono Downs entities, the Authority conducted an extensive environmental investigation of the Pocono Downs facilities. In the course of that work, the Authority identified several recognized environmental conditions at the Pocono Downs facility for which corrective actions are necessary to bring the property into compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Authority has prepared and begun to implement a comprehensive plan to mitigate and resolve these conditions. Under the terms of the corrective action plans, included in the Pocono Downs Purchase Agreement, the sellers will be responsible for the costs of the remedial actions up to $1.0 million, and the Authority will be responsible for all environmental costs in excess of $1.0 million but less than or equal to $2.0 million. The sellers also have agreed to indemnify the Authority for up to $10.0 million of additional costs in excess of $2.0 million that the Authority may incur as a result of the environmental condition of the Pocono Downs properties prior to closing. The Authority estimates the total cost of remediation to be approximately $1.6 million at March 31, 2005.

Horsemen’s Agreement

On January 25, 2005, Downs Racing, L.P. entered into an agreement with the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen’s Association Inc., which represents owners, trainers and drivers at the Pocono Downs harness racing facility. The agreement governs all harness racing events and simulcasting and account wagering conducted at Pocono Downs and the five OTW facilities through December 31, 2010.

Erie OTW Settlement Agreement

As of December 31, 2004, Penn National Gaming Inc., the former owner of the Pocono Downs entities, entered into an agreement to sell all of the assets associated with the OTW facility located in Erie, Pennsylvania to MTR Gaming Group, Inc. (“MTR”) and Presque Isle Downs Inc. (“PID” and collectively with MTR, “Presque Isle”) for $7.0 million. Penn National Gaming Inc. assigned its rights under this agreement to the Authority’s subsidiary, Downs Racing, L.P., upon the Authority’s acquisition of the Pocono Downs entities. Accordingly, Downs Racing, L.P. will be required to convey the Erie OTW facility for such price if and when either of the following two conditions occur: (1) there is commencement by any of the Presque Isle entities of pari-mutuel wagering in Erie, Pennsylvania or (2) there is receipt by any Presque Isle entity of revenue from slot machine operations in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Litigation

The Authority is a defendant in certain litigation incurred in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of counsel, the aggregate liability, if any, arising from such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Authority’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 7—TCA AGREEMENTS:

Relinquishment Agreement

In February 1998, the Authority and Trading Cove Associates (“TCA”) entered into an agreement (the “Relinquishment Agreement”). Effective January 1, 2000 (the “Relinquishment Date”), the Relinquishment Agreement superseded a then existing management agreement with TCA. The Relinquishment Agreement provides, among other things, that the Authority will make certain payments to TCA out of, and determined as a percentage of, Revenues (as defined in the Relinquishment Agreement) generated by Mohegan Sun over a 15-year period commencing on the Relinquishment Date. The payments (“Senior Relinquishment Payments” and “Junior Relinquishment Payments”) have separate schedules and priority. Senior Relinquishment Payments commenced on April 25, 2000, twenty-five days following the end of the first three-month period after the Relinquishment Date and continue at the end of each three-month period thereafter until January 25, 2015. Junior Relinquishment Payments commenced on July 25, 2000, twenty-five days following the end of the first six-month period after the Relinquishment Date and continue at the end of each six-month period thereafter until January 25, 2015. Each Senior Relinquishment Payment and Junior Relinquishment Payment is an amount equal to 2.5% of the Revenues generated by Mohegan Sun over the immediately preceding three-month or six-month payment period, as the case may be. “Revenues” are defined in the Relinquishment Agreement as gross gaming revenues (other than Class II gaming revenue) and all other facility revenues (including, without limitation, hotel revenues, room service, food and beverage sales, ticket revenues, fees or receipts from convention/events center and all rental or other receipts from lessees and concessionaires, but not the gross receipts of such lessees, licenses and concessionaires).

In the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to the Authority, the Relinquishment Agreement provides that each of the Senior and Junior Relinquishment Payments then due and owing are subordinated in right to payment of senior secured obligations, which include the Bank Credit Facility and capital lease obligations, and that the Junior Relinquishment Payments then due and owing are further subordinated to payment of all other senior obligations, including the Authority’s 1999 Senior Notes and 2005 Senior Notes. The Relinquishment Agreement also provides that all relinquishment payments are subordinated in right of payment to the minimum priority distribution payments, which are monthly payments required to be made by the Authority to the Tribe, to the extent then due. The Authority, in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” has recorded a relinquishment liability of the estimated present value of its obligations under the Relinquishment Agreement.

(unaudited)

A relinquishment liability of $549.1 million was established at September 30, 1998 based on the present value of the estimated future Mohegan Sun revenues utilizing the Authority’s risk-free investment rate. At March 31, 2005, the carrying amount of the relinquishment liability was $450.0 million as compared to $472.0 million at September 30, 2004. The decrease during the six months ended March 31, 2005 is due to $35.7 million in relinquishment payments, offset by $13.7 million for the accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability. Of the $35.7 million in relinquishment payments, $21.4 million represents payment of principal and $14.3 million represents payment of the accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Authority paid $34.0 million in relinquishment payments, consisting of $18.1 million in principal amounts and $15.9 million for the payment of the accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability. The accretion of discount to the relinquishment liability resulted from the impact of the discount for the time value of money. At March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, relinquishment payments earned but unpaid were $16.7 million and $18.3 million, respectively.

NOTE 8—SEGMENT REPORTING

The Authority currently owns and operates the Mohegan Sun property in Connecticut and, through the Pocono Downs entities, operates the harness racetrack at Pocono Downs and five OTW facilities in Pennsylvania. All of the Authority’s revenues are derived from these operations. The Authority’s executive officers review the operating results, assess the performance and determine the proper allocation of resources of Mohegan Sun and the Pocono Downs entities on a separate basis. The Authority, therefore, believes that it has two operating segments, Mohegan Sun and Pocono Downs, after the acquisition of the Pocono Downs entities in January 2005, which are also separate reporting segments due to the differing nature of their operations. The following tables provide financial information on each segment (in thousands):
