LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OF COMPANY
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Las Vegas Sands Corp. (“LVSC”), a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2009. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, except as discussed below, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. The Company’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “LVS.”
In November 2009, the Company’s newly formed subsidiary, Sands China Ltd. (“SCL,” the indirect owner and operator of the majority of the Company’s operations in the Macau Special Administrative Region (“Macau”) of the People’s Republic of China), completed an initial public offering by listing its ordinary shares (the “SCL Offering”) on The Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Immediately following the SCL Offering and several transactions consummated in connection with such offering, the Company owned 70.3% of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SCL. The shares of SCL were not, and will not, be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an applicable exception from such registration requirements.
Operations
United States
Las Vegas
The Company owns and operates The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino (“The Venetian Las Vegas”), a Renaissance Venice-themed resort; The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino (“The Palazzo”), a resort featuring modern European ambience and design; and an expo and convention center of approximately 1.2 million square feet (the “Sands Expo Center”). These Las Vegas properties, situated on or near the Las Vegas Strip, form an integrated resort with approximately 7,100 suites; approximately 225,000 square feet of gaming space; a meeting and conference facility of approximately 1.1 million square feet; an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex located within The Venetian Las Vegas of approximately 440,000 net leasable square feet (“The Grand Canal Shoppes”), which was sold to GGP Limited Partnership (“GGP”) in 2004; and an enclosed retail and dining complex located within The Palazzo of approximately 400,000 net leasable square feet (“The Shoppes at The Palazzo”), which was sold to GGP in February 2008. See “— Note 3 — Property and Equipment, Net” regarding the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo.
Pennsylvania
The Company is in the process of developing Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem (the “Sands Bethlehem”), a gaming, hotel, retail and dining complex located on the site of the historic Bethlehem Steel Works in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Sands Bethlehem is also expected to be home to the National Museum of Industrial History, an arts and cultural center, and the broadcast home of the local PBS affiliate. The Company owns 86% of the economic interest of the gaming, hotel and entertainment portion of the property through its ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC and more than 35% of the economic interest of the retail portion of the property through its ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Retail, LLC.
On May 22, 2009, the Company opened the casino component of Sands Bethlehem, which features slot machines and several food and beverage offerings, as well as the parking garage and surface parking. In April 2010, the Company received approval of its table games application from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board that will allow Sands Bethlehem to operate table games, which it is targeting to commence in the third quarter of 2010, and has recommenced construction of a 300-room hotel tower, which is expected to open in the second quarter of 2011. Construction activities on the remaining components, which include an approximate 200,000-square-foot retail facility, a 50,000-square-foot multipurpose event center and a variety of additional dining options, have been suspended temporarily and are intended to recommence when capital markets and general economic conditions improve and when the suspended components are able to be financed. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has capitalized construction costs of $631.1 million for this project (including $22.7 million in outstanding construction payables). The Company expects to spend approximately $80 million to complete construction of the hotel tower, on furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”) and other costs, and to pay outstanding construction payables, as noted above, and the $16.5 million license fee. The impact of the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project’s remaining components is currently not determinable with certainty.

Macau
SCL, of which the Company owns 70.3% subsequent to the SCL Offering and related transactions, includes the operations of the Sands Macao, The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and other ancillary operations that support these properties, as further discussed below. The Company operates the gaming areas within these properties pursuant to a 20-year gaming subconcession.
The Company owns and operates the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macau. The Sands Macao offers approximately 229,000 square feet of gaming space and a 289-suite hotel tower, as well as several restaurants, VIP facilities, a theater and other high-end services and amenities.
The Company also owns and operates The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (“The Venetian Macao”), which anchors the Cotai Strip TM , the Company’s master-planned development of integrated resort properties in Macau. With a theme similar to that of The Venetian Las Vegas, The Venetian Macao includes a 39-floor luxury hotel with over 2,900 suites; approximately 550,000 square feet of gaming space; a 15,000-seat arena; an 1,800-seat theater; retail and dining space of approximately 1.0 million square feet; and a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.2 million square feet.
The Company opened the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip TM (the “Four Seasons Hotel Macao”), which features 360 rooms and suites managed and operated by Four Seasons Hotels Inc. and is located adjacent and connected to The Venetian Macao. Connected to the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, the Company owns and operates the Plaza Casino (together with the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, the “Four Seasons Macao”), which features approximately 70,000 square feet of gaming space; 19 Paiza mansions; 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. This integrated resort will also feature the Four Seasons Apartment Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip (the “Four Seasons Apartments”), an apart-hotel tower that consists of approximately 1.0 million square feet of Four Seasons-serviced and -branded luxury apart-hotel units and common areas. The Company has completed the structural work of the tower and expects to subsequently monetize units within the Four Seasons Apartments subject to market conditions and obtaining the necessary government approvals. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has capitalized construction costs of $1.06 billion for the entire project (including $24.1 million in outstanding construction payables). The Company expects to spend approximately $155 million primarily on additional costs to complete the Four Seasons Apartments, including FF&E, pre-opening costs and additional land premiums, and to pay outstanding construction payables, as noted above.
Development Projects
Given the challenging conditions in the capital markets and the global economy and their impact on the Company’s ongoing operations, the Company revised its development plan to suspend portions of its development projects and focus its development efforts on those projects with the highest expected rates of return on invested capital. Should general economic conditions fail to improve, if the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding such that completion of its suspended projects is not probable, or should management decide to abandon certain projects, all or a portion of the Company’s investment to date on its suspended projects could be lost and would result in an impairment charge. In addition, the Company may be subject to penalties under the termination clauses in its construction contracts or termination rights under its management contracts with certain hotel management companies.
United States
The Company was constructing a St. Regis-branded high-rise residential condominium tower, the St. Regis Residences at The Venetian Palazzo (the “St. Regis Residences”), located on the Las Vegas Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. As part of its revised development plan, the Company suspended construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. The Company intends to recommence construction when demand and conditions improve and expects that it will take approximately 18 months thereafter to complete construction of the project. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has capitalized construction costs of $184.9 million for this project. The impact of the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with certainty.

Macau
The Company submitted plans to the Macau government for its other Cotai Strip developments, which represent three integrated resort developments, in addition to The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, on an area of approximately 200 acres (which are referred to as parcels 3, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8). Subject to the approval from the Macau government, the developments are expected to include hotels, exhibition and conference facilities, gaming areas, showrooms, shopping malls, spas, restaurants, entertainment facilities and other amenities. The Company had commenced construction or pre-construction on these developments and plans to operate the related gaming areas under the Company’s Macau gaming subconcession.
As part of its revised development plan, the Company is sequencing the construction of its integrated resort development on parcels 5 and 6 due to difficulties in the capital markets and the overall decline in general economic conditions. Upon completion of phases I and II of the project, the integrated resort is expected to feature approximately 6,000 hotel rooms, approximately 300,000 square feet of gaming space, approximately 1.2 million square feet of retail, entertainment and dining facilities, exhibition and conference facilities and a multipurpose theater. Phase I of the project is expected to include two hotel towers with approximately 3,700 hotel rooms to be managed by Shangri-La International Hotel Management Limited (“Shangri-La”) under its Shangri-La and Traders brands and Sheraton International Inc. and Sheraton Overseas Management Co. (collectively “Starwood”) under its Sheraton brand, as well as completion of the structural work of an adjacent hotel tower with approximately 2,300 rooms to be managed by Starwood under its Sheraton brand. Phase I will also include the gaming space, theater and a partial opening of the retail and exhibition and conference facilities. The total cost to complete phase I is expected to be approximately $2.0 billion. Phase II of the project includes completion of the additional Sheraton hotel tower as well as the remaining retail facilities and the total cost is expected to be approximately $235 million. Phase III of the project is expected to include a fourth hotel and mixed-use tower to be managed by Starwood under its St. Regis brand and the total cost is expected to be approximately $450 million. In connection with receiving commitments for a proposed $1.75 billion project financing credit facility (which the Company expects to close in the second quarter of 2010) to be used together with $500.0 million of proceeds from the SCL Offering, the Company is mobilizing to recommence construction of phases I and II and expects that phase I will be completed in the third quarter of 2011, and that it will take an additional six months thereafter to complete the adjacent Sheraton tower in phase II and an additional 24 months thereafter to complete the remaining retail facilities in phase II. The Company intends to commence construction of phase III of the project as demand and market conditions warrant it. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has capitalized construction costs of $1.75 billion for the entire project (including $132.7 million in outstanding construction payables). The Company’s management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La impose certain construction deadlines and opening obligations on the Company and certain past and/or anticipated delays, as described above, may represent a default under the respective agreements, which would allow Starwood and Shangri-La to terminate their respective agreements. See “— Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies — Other Agreements.”
The Company had commenced pre-construction on parcels 7 and 8 and 3, and has capitalized construction costs of $114.1 million for parcels 7 and 8 and $35.6 million for parcel 3 as of March 31, 2010. The Company intends to commence construction after the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6 is complete, necessary government approvals are obtained, regional and global economic conditions improve, future demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained.
The impact of the delayed construction on the Company’s previously estimated cost to complete its Cotai Strip developments is currently not determinable with certainty. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has capitalized an aggregate of $5.86 billion in costs for its Cotai Strip developments, including The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, as well as the Company’s investments in transportation infrastructure, including its passenger ferry service operations. In addition to receiving commitments for project financing for phases I and II of parcels 5 and 6, 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 any of the additional financing required.
Land concessions in Macau generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macau law. The Company has received a land concession from the Macau government to build on parcels 1, 2 and 3, including the sites on which The Venetian Macao (parcel 1) and Four Seasons Macao (parcel 2) are located. The Company does not own these land sites in Macau; however, the land concession grants the Company exclusive use of the land. As specified in the land concession, the Company is required to pay premiums for each parcel, which are either payable in a single lump sum upon acceptance of the land concession by the Macau government or in seven semi-annual installments (provided that the outstanding balance is due upon the completion of the corresponding integrated resort), as well as annual rent for the term of the land concession.

Under the Company’s land concession for parcel 3, the Company was initially required to complete the corresponding development by August 2011. The Macau government has granted the Company a two-year extension to complete the development of parcel 3, which now must be completed by April 2013. The Company believes that if it is not able to complete the development by the revised deadline, it will likely be able to obtain another extension from the Macau government; however, no assurances can be given that an additional extension will be granted. If the Company is unable to meet the April 2013 deadline and that deadline is not extended, it could lose its land concession for parcel 3, which would prohibit the Company from operating any facilities developed under the land concession. As a result, the Company could forfeit all or a substantial portion of its $35.6 million in capitalized costs, as of March 31, 2010, related to its development on parcel 3.
In November 2009, the Company formally accepted the terms and conditions of the final draft of the land concession agreement received from the Macau government for parcels 5 and 6 and made an initial premium payment of 700.0 million patacas (approximately $87.5 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010). The land concession will not become effective until the date it is published in Macau’s Official Gazette. Once the land concession becomes effective, the Company will be required to make additional land premium and annual rent payments in the amounts and at the times specified in the land concession. The land concession requires the Company to complete the development of the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6 within 48 months of the date it is published in Macau’s Official Gazette. If the Company is not able to meet this deadline, it will need to obtain an extension to complete the development on parcels 5 and 6; however, no assurances can be given that such extension will be granted. If the Company is unable to the meet the deadline and that deadline is not extended, the Company could lose its land concession for parcels 5 and 6, which would prohibit the Company from operating any facilities developed under the land concession. As a result, the Company could forfeit all or a substantial portion of its $1.75 billion in capitalized costs, as of March 31, 2010, related to its development on parcels 5 and 6.
The Company does not yet have all of the necessary Macau government approvals to develop its planned Cotai Strip developments on parcels 3, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8. The Company has received a land concession for parcel 3 and will negotiate the land concession for parcels 7 and 8 once the land concession for parcels 5 and 6, as previously noted, is finalized. Based on historical experience with the Macau government with respect to the Company’s land concessions for the Sands Macao and parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6, management believes that the land concessions for parcels 7 and 8 will be granted; however, if the Company does not obtain these land concessions, the Company could forfeit all or a substantial portion of its $114.1 million in capitalized costs, as of March 31, 2010, related to its development on parcels 7 and 8.
Singapore
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”), entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with the Singapore Tourism Board (the “STB”) to build and operate an integrated resort called Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Marina Bay Sands, portions of which opened on April 27, 2010, is expected to include three 55-story hotel towers (totaling approximately 2,600 rooms and suites), a casino, an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex of approximately 800,000 net leasable square feet, a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.3 million square feet, theaters and a landmark iconic structure at the bay-front promenade that will contain an art/science museum. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has capitalized 6.31 billion Singapore dollars (“SGD,” approximately $4.51 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) in costs for this project, including the land premium and SGD 762.3 million (approximately $544.9 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) in outstanding construction payables. The Company expects to spend approximately SGD 2.5 billion (approximately $1.8 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) through 2011 on additional costs to complete the construction of the integrated resort, FF&E, pre-opening and other costs, and to pay outstanding construction payables, as noted above, of which approximately SGD 1.9 billion (approximately $1.4 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) is expected to be spent during 2010. As the Company has obtained Singapore-denominated financing and primarily pays its costs in Singapore dollars, its exposure to foreign exchange gains and losses is expected to be minimal. Based on its current development plan, the Company expects to progressively open the remaining portions of Marina Bay Sands throughout 2010.
Other
When the current economic environment and access to capital improve, the Company may continue exploring the possibility of developing and operating additional properties, including integrated resorts, in additional Asian and U.S. jurisdictions, and in Europe.
Development Financing Strategy
Through March 31, 2010, the Company has funded its development projects primarily through borrowings under its U.S., Macau and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from its recent equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.

The U.S. credit facility and FF&E facility require 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 6.0x for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010, decreases to 5.5x for quarterly periods ended September 30 and December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 5.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Macau credit facility, as amended in August 2009, requires the Company’s Macau operations to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ended September 30 and December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Company can elect to contribute up to $50 million and $20 million of cash on hand to its Las Vegas and Macau operations, respectively, on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA by the corresponding amount during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the “EBITDA true-up”). 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 facilities would trigger a cross-default under the Company’s airplane financings, which, if the respective lenders chose to accelerate the indebtedness outstanding under these agreements, would result in a default under the Company’s senior notes. A default under the Macau 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.
In 2008, the Company completed a $475.0 million convertible senior notes offering and a $2.1 billion common and preferred stock and warrants offering. In 2009, the Company completed a $600.0 million exchangeable bond offering and its $2.5 billion SCL Offering. A portion of the proceeds from these offerings was used in the U.S. to pay down $775.9 million under the revolving portion of the U.S. credit facility in March 2010, to exercise the EBITDA true-up provision during the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010, and was contributed to Las Vegas Sands, LLC (“LVSLLC”) to reduce its net debt in order to maintain compliance with the maximum leverage ratio for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010. Proceeds were also used in Macau to exercise the EBITDA true-up provision during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009, and cash on hand was used to pay down $125.0 million of indebtedness under the Macau credit facility in 2009 in order to maintain compliance with the maximum leverage ratio for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010. In November 2009, in connection with the SCL Offering, the Company was required to repay $500.0 million of borrowings under its Macau credit facility, permanently reducing a pro rata portion of the revolving facility.
The Company held unrestricted and restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments of approximately $3.93 billion and $301.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2010. The Company believes that the cash and investments on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its revised development plan and maintain compliance with the financial covenants of its U.S. and Macau credit facilities. In the normal course of its activities, the Company will continue to evaluate its capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. Additionally, in connection with receiving commitments for the proposed $1.75 billion project financing credit facility (which the Company expects to close in the second quarter of 2010) to be used together with $500.0 million of proceeds from the SCL Offering, the Company is mobilizing to recommence construction of phases I and II of the Company’s Cotai Strip development on parcels 5 and 6.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance for variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and requires companies to more frequently assess whether they must consolidate VIEs. In December 2009, the FASB supplemented its authoritative guidance for VIE’s, which establishes new criteria for consolidation based on power to direct the activities of a VIE that would significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The new guidance does not allow grandfathering of existing structures and is effective January 1, 2010. The application of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See “— Note 6 — Variable Interest Entities.”
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and gross presentation of activity within the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance also clarifies existing requirements on the level of disaggregation and required disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques for both recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See “— Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements” for the required disclosure.

In April 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for companies that generate revenue from gaming activities that involve base jackpots, which requires companies to accrue for a liability and charge a jackpot (or portion thereof) to revenue at the time the company has the obligation to pay the jackpot. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Base jackpots are currently not accrued for by the Company until it has the obligation to pay such jackpots. As such, the application of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Revision
The Company revised its December 31, 2009, condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of equity and comprehensive income (loss) to appropriately reflect the impact of the issuance of SCL shares upon its initial public offering. This revision resulted in a $655.7 million increase in the noncontrolling interests balance with a corresponding reduction to capital in excess of par value. The revision, which the Company determined is not material, had no impact on total equity, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 — INVESTMENTS
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, investments in securities are classified as either held to maturity, trading or available for sale. Management determines the classification of its investments at the time of purchase. The Company’s securities are classified as held to maturity, as the Company has positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity, and are recorded at cost, which is equivalent to their fair value. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has $173.9 million in non-U.S. government fixed maturity investments, of which $109.5 million and $64.4 million will mature in July and August 2010, respectively.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company has received proceeds of $295.4 million from the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo; however, the final purchase price will be determined in accordance with the agreement between Venetian Casino Resort, LLC (“VCR”) and GGP based on net operating income (“NOI”) of The Shoppes at The Palazzo calculated 30 months after the closing date of the sale, as defined under the agreement and subject to certain later audit adjustments. In April 2009, GGP and its subsidiary that owns The Shoppes at The Palazzo filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). Additionally, given the economic and market conditions facing retailers on a national and local level, tenants are facing economic challenges that have had an effect, and may have a future effect, on the calculation of NOI. Approximately $287.7 million of property and equipment (net of $23.6 million of accumulated depreciation), which was sold to GGP, is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. The Company will continue to review the Chapter 11 Cases and the projected financial performance of the tenants to be included in the NOI calculation, and will adjust the estimates of NOI and capitalization rates as additional information is received. The Company may be required to record further impairment charges in the future depending on changes in the projections. Based on GGP’s current financial condition, there can be no assurance that GGP will make its final payment.

As described in “— Note 1 — Organization and Business of Company — Development Projects,” the Company revised its development plan to suspend portions of its development projects given the conditions in the capital markets and the global economy and their impact on the Company’s ongoing operations. If circumstances change, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge related to these developments in the future.

NOTE 6 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company consolidates any 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. In accordance with revised accounting standards, 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s joint ventures had total assets of $98.5 million and $105.6 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $71.9 million and $75.3 million, respectively.
NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES
The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macau and Singapore. In the U.S., the Company is currently under examination for years after 2004. In Macau and Singapore, the Company is subject to examination for years after 2005. It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change within the next 12 months, due to the progression of open audits. An estimate of the amount of possible changes cannot be made at this time. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its uncertain tax positions; however, there is no assurance that taxing authorities will not propose adjustments that are different than the Company’s expected outcome and impact the provision for income taxes.
The Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of the Company’s U.S. operations during the year ended December 31, 2009, and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to deferred tax assets generated by its U.S. operations. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent that the financial results of U.S. operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable.
The Company received a 5-year income tax exemption in Macau 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.

NOTE 8 — STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
Sands China Ltd. Equity Award Plan
The Company’s subsidiary, SCL, adopted an equity award plan (the “SCL Equity Plan”) for grants of options to purchase ordinary shares of SCL. The purpose of the SCL Equity Plan is to give SCL a competitive edge in attracting, retaining and motivating employees, directors and consultants and to provide SCL with a stock plan providing incentives directly related to increases in its stockholder value. Subject to certain criteria as defined in the SCL Equity Plan, SCL’s subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ employees, directors or officers and many of its consultants are eligible for awards under the SCL Equity Plan. The SCL Equity Plan provides for an aggregate of 804,786,508 shares of SCL’s common stock to be available for awards, representing 10% of the outstanding shares upon completion of the SCL Offering. The SCL Equity Plan has a term of ten years and no further awards may be granted after the expiration of the term. SCL’s compensation committee may grant awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock bonus awards, performance compensation awards or any combination of the foregoing. As of March 31, 2010, there were 786,910,408 shares available for grant under the SCL Equity Plan.
Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price not less than (i) the closing price of SCL’s stock on the date of grant or (ii) the average closing price of SCL’s stock for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant. The outstanding stock options vest over four years and have ten-year contractual terms. Compensation cost for all stock option grants, which all have graded vesting, is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ respective requisite service periods. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatilities from a selection of companies from SCL’s peer group due to SCL’s lack of historical information. The Company used the simplified method for estimating expected option life, as the options qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the stock option is based on the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Note rate in effect at the time of grant.

NOTE 9 — 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.
The following table provides the assets carried at fair value (in thousands):
Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2010 Using:

The Company has 29 interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.8 million, based on quoted market values from the institutions holding the agreements as of March 31, 2010.
NOTE 10 — 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.
Macau Operations
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 Macau 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 as 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 has appealed the verdict to the Nevada Supreme Court and the appeal has been fully briefed by all parties. The Company believes that it has valid bases in law and fact to overturn or appeal the verdict. As a result, the Company believes that the likelihood that the amount of the judgment will be affirmed is not probable, and, accordingly, that the amount of any loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because the Company believes that this potential loss is not probable or estimable, it has not recorded any reserves or contingencies related to this legal matter. In the event that the Company’s assumptions used to evaluate this matter as neither probable nor estimable change in future periods, it will be required to record a liability for an adverse outcome, which may include post judgment interest.

On February 5, 2007, Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited (“AAEC”) filed an action against LVSI, VCR, Venetian Venture Development, William P. Weidner and David Friedman in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the “District Court”). The plaintiffs assert (i) breach of contract by LVSI, VCR and Venetian Venture Development of an agreement under which AAEC would work to obtain a gaming license in Macau and, if successful, AAEC would jointly operate a casino, hotel and related facilities in Macau with Venetian Venture Development and Venetian Venture Development would receive fees and a minority equity interest in the venture and (ii) breach of fiduciary duties by all of the defendants. The plaintiffs have requested an unspecified amount of actual, compensatory and punitive damages, and disgorgement of profits related to the Company’s Macau gaming license. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on July 11, 2007. On August 1, 2007, the District Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint against all defendants without prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed this decision and subsequently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Circuit Court”) decided that AAEC was not barred from asserting claims that the written agreement was breached prior to its expiration on January 15, 2002. The Circuit Court remanded the case back to the District Court for further proceedings on this issue and discovery has recently begun. The plaintiffs’ counsel filed a motion to withdraw from representing the plaintiffs on December 15, 2009, and it was granted by the Magistrate on January 12, 2010. On February 11, 2010, the Magistrate filed a recommendation that the case be dismissed in the court docket. The plaintiffs had until February 28, 2010, to file any objections thereto. None were filed and the District Court entered an order on April 16, 2010, dismissing the case. Management believes that AAEC’s case against the Company is without merit and will continue to defend this matter if an appeal from the dismissal is taken.
On October 16, 2009, the Company received a letter from counsel to Far East Consortium International Ltd. (“FEC”) notifying the Company that it may pursue various claims seeking, among other things, monetary damages and an entitlement to an ownership interest in any development projects on parcel 3 in Macau, which the Company will own and operate. The Company believes such claims, which are based on a non-legally binding memorandum of agreement that expired by its terms over three years ago, are frivolous, baseless and without merit. The Company intends to vigorously contest any claims or lawsuits that may be brought by FEC.
China Matters
The State Administration of Foreign Exchange in China (“SAFE”) regulates foreign currency exchange transactions and other business dealings in China. SAFE has made inquiries and requested and obtained documents relating to certain payments made by the Company’s wholly foreign-owned enterprises (“WFOEs”) to counterparties and other vendors in China. These WFOEs were established to conduct non-gaming marketing activities in China and to create goodwill in China and Macau for the Company’s operations in Macau. SAFE recently preliminarily indicated that its investigation of these matters was nearly complete and that it may impose a fine or penalty against the Company’s WFOEs, although it has not done so to date. The Company believes that the WFOEs complied with then-applicable SAFE regulations in connection with these matters. The Company and the WFOEs will continue to address this matter with SAFE and would likely contest any fine or penalty that may be imposed. The Company does not believe that any fine or penalty that may be imposed on the WFOEs as a result of these matters would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Singapore Development Project
In August 2006, the Company entered into the Development Agreement with the STB, which requires the Company to construct and operate the Marina Bay Sands in accordance with the Company’s proposal for the integrated resort and in accordance with the agreement. The Company entered into the SGD 5.44 billion (approximately $3.89 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) Singapore Credit Facility to fund a significant portion of the construction, operating and other development costs of the Marina Bay Sands.
In December 2009, MBS signed a supplement to the Development Agreement with the STB, which permits the Marina Bay Sands to open in stages throughout 2010 in accordance with an agreed upon schedule. There are no financial consequences to MBS if it fails to meet the agreed upon schedule, provided that the entire integrated resort is opened by December 31, 2011. If MBS fails to meet this deadline, the STB will be entitled to draw on the SGD 192.6 million (approximately $137.7 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) security deposit under the Singapore Credit Facility.
Other Agreements
The Company has entered into agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La to manage hotels and serviced luxury apart-hotel units on the Company’s Cotai Strip parcels 5 and 6, and for Starwood to brand the St. Regis Residences in connection with the sales and marketing of these condominium units. The management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La impose certain construction and opening obligations and deadlines on the Company, and certain past and/or anticipated delays may represent a default under the agreements, which would allow Starwood and Shangri-La to terminate their respective agreements. The Company is mobilizing to recommence construction on parcels 5 and 6 and is negotiating amendments to the management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La to provide for new opening timelines, which the Company expects to finalize in the second quarter of 2010. If negotiations are unsuccessful, Starwood and Shangri-La would have the right to terminate their agreements with the Company, which would result in the Company having to find new managers and brands for these projects. Such measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including requiring the Company to write-off its $20.0 million investment related to the St. Regis Residences.

NOTE 12 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
LVSC is the obligor of the Senior Notes due 2015. LVSLLC, VCR, Mall Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, Venetian Venture Development, Venetian Transport, LLC, Venetian Marketing, Inc., Lido Intermediate Holding Company, LLC and Lido Casino Resort Holding Company, LLC (collectively, the “Original Guarantors”), have jointly and severally guaranteed the Senior Notes on a full and unconditional basis. Effective May 2007, in conjunction with entering into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, LVSC, the Original Guarantors and the trustee entered into a supplemental indenture related to the Senior Notes, whereby the following subsidiaries were added as full and unconditional guarantors on a joint and several basis: Interface Group-Nevada, Inc., Palazzo Condo Tower, LLC, Sands Pennsylvania, Inc., Phase II Mall Holding, LLC and Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC (collectively with the Original Guarantors, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. (“LVS Nevada”) and LVS Management Services, LLC, newly formed subsidiaries, were added in September 2009 as full and unconditional guarantors to the Senior Notes on a joint and several basis, and have been included in the group of subsidiaries that is the Guarantor Subsidiaries. In November 2009, Venetian Venture Development was merged with and into LVS Nevada, with LVS Nevada as the surviving entity. The voting stock of all entities included as Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned directly or indirectly by Las Vegas Sands Corp. The noncontrolling interest amount included in the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ condensed consolidating balance sheets is 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 and in connection therewith, it was released as a guarantor under the Senior Notes. The sale is not complete from an accounting perspective due to the Company’s continuing involvement in the transaction related to the completion of construction on the remainder of The Shoppes at The Palazzo, certain activities to be performed on behalf of GGP and the uncertainty of the final sales price. Certain of the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows 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 Guarantor Subsidiaries until the final sales price has been determined, and therefore are included in the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” columns in the following condensed consolidating financial information.

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 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 service and products, the regulatory business environment of the operations within each segment and our organizational and management reporting structure. Our operating segments in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”) consist of the Sands Macao; The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (“The Venetian Macao”); the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip TM and the Plaza Casino (collectively, the “Four Seasons Macao”); and other ancillary operations in that region (“Other Asia”).

Our Las Vegas Operating Properties, situated on or near the Las Vegas Strip, consist of The Venetian Las Vegas, a Renaissance Venice-themed resort; The Palazzo, a resort featuring modern European ambience and design; and an expo and convention center of approximately 1.2 million square feet (the “Sands Expo Center”). Our Las Vegas Operating Properties represent an integrated resort with approximately 7,100 suites and approximately 225,000 square feet of gaming space. Our Las Vegas Operating Properties also feature a meeting and conference facility of approximately 1.1 million square feet; Canyon Ranch SpaClub facilities; a Paiza Club TM offering services and amenities to premium customers, including luxurious VIP suites, spa facilities and private VIP gaming room facilities; entertainment facilities; an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex located within The Venetian Las Vegas of approximately 440,000 net leasable square feet (“The Grand Canal Shoppes”), which was sold to GGP Limited Partnership (“GGP”) in 2004; and an enclosed retail and dining complex located within The Palazzo of approximately 400,000 net leasable square feet (“The Shoppes at The Palazzo”), which was sold to GGP in February 2008. See “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Property and Equipment, Net” regarding the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo.
Approximately 58.8% and 64.1% of gross revenue at our Las Vegas Operating Properties for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from room revenues, food and beverage services, and other non-gaming sources, and 41.2% and 35.9%, respectively, was derived from gaming activities. The percentage of non-gaming revenue reflects the integrated resort’s emphasis on the group convention and trade show business.
Pennsylvania
We are in the process of developing Sands Bethlehem, a gaming, hotel, retail and dining complex located on the site of the historic Bethlehem Steel Works in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Sands Bethlehem is also expected to be home to the National Museum of Industrial History, an arts and cultural center, and the broadcast home of the local PBS affiliate. We own 86% of the economic interest of the gaming, hotel and entertainment portion of the property through our ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC and more than 35% of the economic interest of the retail portion of the property through our ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Retail, LLC.

On May 22, 2009, we opened the casino component of Sands Bethlehem, which features slot machines and several food and beverage offerings, as well as the parking garage and surface parking. In April 2010, we received approval of our table games application from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board that will allow Sands Bethlehem to operate table games, which we are targeting to commence in the third quarter of 2010, and have recommenced construction of a 300-room hotel tower, which is expected to open in the second quarter of 2011. Construction activities on the remaining components, which include an approximate 200,000-square-foot retail facility, a 50,000-square-foot multipurpose event center and a variety of additional dining options, have been suspended temporarily and are intended to recommence when capital markets and general economic conditions improve, and when the suspended components are able to be financed.
Macau
Sands China Ltd. (“SCL,” the indirect owner and operator of the majority of the Company’s Macau operations), completed an initial public offering by listing its ordinary shares (the “SCL Offering”) on The Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. SCL, of which we own 70.3%, includes the operations of the Sands Macao, The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and other ancillary operations that support these properties. We operate the gaming areas within these properties pursuant to a 20-year gaming subconcession.
We own and operate the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macau, pursuant to a 20-year gaming subconcession. The Sands Macao includes approximately 229,000 square feet of gaming space; a 289-suite hotel tower; several restaurants; a spacious Paiza Club; a theater and other high-end services and amenities. Approximately 94.3% and 92.5% of the gross revenue at the Sands Macao for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder primarily derived from room revenues and food and beverage services.
We also own and operate The Venetian Macao, the anchor property of our master-planned development of integrated resort properties that we refer to as the Cotai Strip TM in Macau. The Venetian Macao, with a theme similar to that of The Venetian Las Vegas, features a 39-floor luxury hotel with over 2,900 suites; approximately 550,000 square feet of gaming space; approximately 1.0 million square feet of retail and dining offerings; a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.2 million square feet; a 15,000-seat arena that has hosted a wide range of entertainment and sporting events; and an 1,800-seat theater that features an original production from Cirque du Soleil. Approximately 82.3% and 81.5% of the gross revenue at The Venetian Macao for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived from room revenues, food and beverage services, and other non-gaming sources.
In August 2008, we opened the Four Seasons Macao, which is located adjacent and connected to The Venetian Macao. The Four Seasons Macao is an integrated resort that features 360 rooms and suites managed and operated by Four Seasons Hotels Inc.; 19 Paiza mansions; approximately 70,000 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. The property will also feature the Four Seasons Apartment Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip (the “Four Seasons Apartments”), an apart-hotel tower that consists of approximately 1.0 million square feet of Four Seasons-serviced and -branded luxury apart-hotel units and common areas. We have completed the structural work of the tower and expect to monetize the units within the Four Seasons Apartments subject to market conditions and obtaining the necessary government approvals. Approximately 83.1% and 70.0% of the gross revenue at the Four Seasons Macao for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder primarily derived from mall revenues, room revenues and other non-gaming sources.
Development Projects
Given the challenging conditions in the capital markets and the global economy and their impact on our ongoing operations, we revised our development plan to suspend portions of our development projects and focus our development efforts on those projects with the highest expected rates of return on invested capital. Should general economic conditions fail to improve, if we are unable to obtain sufficient funding 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. In addition, we may be subject to penalties under the termination clauses in our construction contracts or termination rights under our management contracts with certain hotel management companies.
United States
We were constructing a St. Regis-branded high-rise residential condominium tower, the St. Regis Residences at The Venetian Palazzo (the “St. Regis Residences”), located on the Las Vegas Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian. As part of our revised development plan, 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 and expect that it will take approximately 18 months thereafter to complete construction of the project. As of March 31, 2010, we have capitalized construction costs of $184.9 million for this project. The impact of the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with certainty.

Macau
We submitted plans to the Macau government for our other Cotai Strip developments, which represent three integrated resort developments, in addition to The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, on an area of approximately 200 acres (which we refer to as parcels 3, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8). Subject to the approval from the Macau government, the developments are expected to include hotels, exhibition and conference facilities, gaming areas, showrooms, spas, dining, retail and entertainment facilities and other amenities. We commenced construction or pre-construction on these developments and plan to operate the related gaming areas under our Macau gaming subconcession. In addition, we are completing the development of some public areas surrounding our Cotai Strip properties on behalf of the Macau government. We currently intend to develop our other Cotai Strip properties as follows:
Parcels 5 and 6 — Under our revised development plan, we are sequencing the construction of the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6 due to difficulties in the capital markets and overall decline in general economic conditions. Upon completion of phases I and II of the project, the integrated resort will feature approximately 6,000 luxury and mid-scale hotel rooms, approximately 300,000 square feet of gaming space, approximately 1.2 million square feet of retail, entertainment and dining facilities, exhibition and conference facilities and a multipurpose theater. Phase I of the project is expected to include two hotel towers with approximately 3,700 hotel rooms to be managed by Shangri-La International Hotel Management Limited (“Shangri-La”) under its Shangri-La and Traders brands and Sheraton International Inc. and Sheraton Overseas Management Co. (collectively “Starwood”) under its Sheraton brand, as well as completion of the structural work of an adjacent hotel tower with approximately 2,300 rooms to be managed by Starwood under its Sheraton brand. Phase I will also include the gaming space, theater and a partial opening of the retail and exhibition and conference facilities. The total cost to complete phase I is expected to be approximately $2.0 billion. Phase II of the project includes completion of the additional Sheraton hotel tower as well as the remaining retail facilities. The total cost to complete phase II is expected to be approximately $235 million. Phase III of the project is expected to include a fourth hotel and mixed-use tower to be managed by Starwood under its St. Regis brand. The total cost to complete phase III is expected to be approximately $450 million. In connection with receiving commitments for a proposed $1.75 billion project financing credit facility (which we expect to close in the second quarter of 2010) to be used together with $500.0 million of proceeds from the SCL Offering, we are mobilizing to recommence construction of phases I and II and expect that phase I will be completed in the third quarter of 2011, and that it will take an additional six months thereafter to complete the adjacent Sheraton tower in phase II and an additional 24 months thereafter to complete the remaining retail facilities in phase II. We intend to commence construction of phase III of the project as demand and market conditions warrant it. As of March 31, 2010, we have capitalized construction costs of $1.75 billion for the entire project (including $132.7 million in outstanding construction payables). Our management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La impose certain construction deadlines and opening obligations on us and certain past and/or anticipated delays, as described above, may represent a default under the respective agreements, which would allow Starwood and Shangri-La to terminate their respective agreements. We are currently negotiating amendments to the management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La to provide for new opening timelines, which we expect to finalize in the second quarter of 2010.
Parcels 7 and 8 — The integrated resort on parcels 7 and 8 is expected to be similar in size and scope to the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6. We had commenced pre-construction and have capitalized construction costs of $114.1 million as of March 31, 2010. We intend to commence construction after the integrated resorts on parcels 5 and 6 and 3 are complete, necessary government approvals are obtained, regional and global economic conditions improve, future demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained.
Parcel 3 — 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 had commenced pre-construction and have capitalized construction costs of $35.6 million as of March 31, 2010. We intend to commence construction after the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6 is complete, necessary government approvals are obtained, regional and global economic conditions improve, future demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained.
The impact of the delayed construction on our previously estimated cost to complete our Cotai Strip developments is currently not determinable with certainty. As of March 31, 2010, we have capitalized an aggregate of $5.86 billion in construction costs for our Cotai Strip developments, including The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, as well as our investments in transportation infrastructure, including our passenger ferry service operations. In addition to receiving commitments for project financing for phases I and II of parcels 5 and 6, 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 any of the additional financing required.

We have received a land concession from the Macau government to build on parcels 1, 2 and 3, including the sites on which The Venetian Macao (parcel 1) and Four Seasons Macao (parcel 2) are located. We do not own these land sites in Macau; however, the land concession, which has an initial term of 25 years and is renewable at our option in accordance with Macau law, grants us exclusive use of the land. As specified in the land concession, we are required to pay premiums for each parcel, which are either payable in a single lump sum upon acceptance of our land concession by the Macau government or in seven semi-annual installments (provided that the outstanding balance is due upon the completion of the corresponding integrated resort), as well as annual rent for the term of the land concession.
Under our land concession for parcel 3, we were initially required to complete the corresponding development by August 2011. The Macau government has granted us a two-year extension to complete the development of parcel 3, which now must be completed by April 2013. We believe that if we are not able to complete the development by the revised deadline, we likely will be able to obtain another extension from the Macau government; however, no assurances can be given that an additional extension will be granted. If we are unable to meet the April 2013 deadline and that deadline is not extended, we could lose our land concession for parcel 3, which would prohibit us from operating any facilities developed under the land concession. As a result, we could forfeit all or a substantial portion of our $35.6 million in capitalized costs, as of March 31, 2010, related to our development on parcel 3.
In November 2009, we formally accepted the terms and conditions of the final draft of the land concession agreement received from the Macau government for parcels 5 and 6 and made an initial premium payment of 700.0 million patacas (approximately $87.5 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010). The land concession will not become effective until the date it is published in Macau’s Official Gazette. Once the land concession becomes effective, we will be required to make additional land premium and annual rent payments in the amounts and at the times specified in the land concession. The land concession requires us to complete the development of the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6 within 48 months of the date it is published in Macau’s Official Gazette. If we are not able to meet this deadline, we will need to obtain an extension to complete the development on parcels 5 and 6; however, no assurances can be given that such extension will be granted. If we are unable to the meet the deadline and that deadline is not extended, we could lose our land concession for parcels 5 and 6, which would prohibit us from operating any facilities developed under the land concession. As a result, we could forfeit all or a substantial portion of our $1.75 billion in capitalized costs, as of March 31, 2010, related to our development on parcels 5 and 6.
We do not yet have all of the necessary Macau government approvals to develop our planned Cotai Strip developments on parcels 3, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8. We have received a land concession for parcel 3 and will negotiate the land concession for parcels 7 and 8 once the land concession for parcels 5 and 6, as previously noted, is finalized. Based on historical experience with the Macau government with respect to our land concessions for the Sands Macao and parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6, management believes that the land concessions for parcels 7 and 8 will be granted; however, if we do not obtain these land concessions, we could forfeit all or a substantial portion of our $114.1 million in capitalized costs, as of March 31, 2010, related to our developments on parcels 7 and 8.
Singapore
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”), entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with the Singapore Tourism Board (the “STB”) to build and operate an integrated resort called Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Marina Bay Sands, portions of which opened on April 27, 2010, is expected to include three 55-story hotel towers (totaling approximately 2,600 rooms and suites), a casino, an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex of approximately 800,000 net leasable square feet, a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.3 million square feet, theaters and a landmark iconic structure at the bay-front promenade that will contain an art/science museum. As of March 31, 2010, we have capitalized 6.31 billion Singapore dollars (“SGD,” approximately $4.51 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) in costs for this project, including the land premium and SGD 762.3 million (approximately $544.9 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) in outstanding construction payables. We expect to spend approximately SGD 2.5 billion (approximately $1.8 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) through 2011 on additional costs to complete the construction of the integrated resort, FF&E, pre-opening and other costs, and to pay outstanding construction payables, as noted above, of which approximately SGD 1.9 billion (approximately $1.4 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2010) is expected to be spent during 2010. As we have obtained Singapore-denominated financing and primarily pay our costs in Singapore dollars, our exposure to foreign exchange gains and losses is expected to be minimal. Based on our current development plan, we expect to progressively open the remaining portions of Marina Bay Sands throughout 2010.

When the current economic environment and access to capital improve, we may continue exploring the possibility of developing and operating additional properties, including integrated resorts, in additional Asian and U.S. jurisdictions, and in Europe.
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 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2010.
There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2010, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2009 Annual Report.

Key Operating Revenue Measurements
Operating revenues at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao 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. Operating revenues at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem are principally driven by casino customers who visit the properties on a daily basis.

Table of Contents

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:
Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: Table games drop (“drop”) and slot handle (“handle”) are volume measurements. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of drop or handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Table games drop represents the sum of markers issued (credit instruments) less markers paid at the table, plus cash deposited in the table drop box. Slot handle is the gross amount wagered for the period cited. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Based upon our mix of table games, our table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 17.3% and slot machines produce a statistical average hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) generally between 6.0% and 7.0%. Actual win may vary from the statistical average. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis, while approximately 65.9% of our table games play, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was conducted on a credit basis.
Casino revenue measurements for Macau: Macau table games are segregated into two groups, consistent with the Macau market’s 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 as previously described. 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 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 of 23.6%, 19.5% and 23.7% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao and Four Seasons Macao, respectively. Similar to Las Vegas, our Macau slot machines produce a statistical average win percentage generally between 6.0% and 7.0%. Actual win may vary from the statistical average. Generally, gaming is conducted on a cash basis, with only 34.9% of our table games play, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, being conducted on a credit basis. This percentage is expected to increase as we increase the credit extended to our premium players and gaming promoters for table games play.
Hotel revenue measurements: Hotel 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. 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.

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.
Room revenues increased $6.4 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. Room revenues increased at The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao as room rates were reduced to increase visitation, partially offset by a decrease at our Las Vegas Operating Properties as room rates were reduced to maintain occupancy. The suites at Sands Macao are primarily provided to casino patrons on a complimentary basis. The following table summarizes the results of our room activity:

Food and beverage revenues increased $4.8 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to $4.6 million in revenues at Sands Bethlehem, which opened in May 2009.
Convention, retail and other revenues decreased $5.3 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in mall revenues as rental reductions were given to retailers in order to maintain leased occupancy percentages.

Operating expenses were $1.19 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $150.3 million as compared to $1.04 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to higher casino revenues and an increase in our depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a decrease in our pre-opening expense, as more fully described below.
Casino expenses increased $145.7 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. Of the increase, $91.1 million was due to the 39.0% gross win tax on increased casino revenues across all of our Macau operations and $45.1 million was due to Sands Bethlehem, which opened in May 2009.
Room expenses decreased $4.1 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due a decrease of $3.4 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties driven primarily by cost saving initiatives that were implemented during 2009.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was due primarily to a $9.0 million provision for one customer during the three months ended March 31, 2009. 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.
Pre-opening expenses were $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $44.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, were primarily related to activities at Marina Bay Sands and costs associated with recommencing work on our Cotai Strip development on parcels 5 and 6.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $13.8 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of the opening of Sands Bethlehem, which contributed $6.8 million.
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 (loss) attributable to Las Vegas Sands Corp. before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, rental expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on disposal of assets, interest, other expense, gain on early retirement of debt, income taxes and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. The following table summarizes information related to our segments (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 11 — Segment Information” for discussion of our operating segments and a reconciliation of adjusted property EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Las Vegas Sands Corp.):

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macau properties increased $83.0 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, led by an increase of $48.4 million at The Venetian Macao. As previously described, the increase across the properties was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenues of $180.3 million, partially offset by an increase of $91.1 million in gross win tax on increased casino revenues.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $15.5 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. As previously described, the increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenues of $6.9 million, as well as decreases in expenses driven by our cost-cutting measures, which were implemented during 2009 and of which $10.7 million were payroll-related expenses.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem does not have a comparable prior-year period. Results of the operations of Sands Bethlehem are as previously described.

Interest Expense

Interest cost increased $12.6 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, resulting from an increase in our weighted average long-term debt balance and weighted average interest rate. The increase in interest cost was offset by an increase in capitalized interest primarily due to Marina Bay Sands and the increase in the weighted average interest rate.
Other Factors Effecting Earnings
Other expense was $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The expense during the three months ended March 31, 2010, was primarily attributable to foreign exchange losses in Macau and a decrease in the fair value of our interest rate cap agreements held in Macau and Singapore.
The gain on early retirement of debt was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which was primarily related to the repurchase of $32.7 million of the outstanding principal of our senior notes.
Our effective income tax rate was 21.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a rate of 2.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010, reflects the commencement of our Singapore operations in April 2010 that are subject to a statutory tax rate of 17% and a zero percent tax rate from our Macau gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macau, which is set to expire in 2013. The non-realizable net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions unfavorably impacted our effective income tax rate. A valuation allowance was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009, on the net deferred tax assets of our U.S. operations. Management does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to deferred tax assets generated by our U.S. operations; however, to the extent that the financial results of our U.S. operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to reduce the valuation allowance.
The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The net income during the three months ended March 31, 2010, was primarily attributable to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities
Table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis while table games play at our Macau properties is generally conducted on a cash 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, increased $137.1 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was attributable primarily to the increase in our operating income and favorable changes in our working capital, driven by accrued liabilities, during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Cash Flows — Investing Activities
Restricted cash increased $182.6 million due primarily to increases in restricted cash in Macau of $179.3 million to be used for debt service under our Macau credit facility and for construction related to our Cotai Strip developments, including the Four Seasons Apartments.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2010, totaled $538.2 million, including $466.6 million for construction and development activities in Singapore; $47.7 million for construction and development activities in Macau (primarily for the Four Seasons Apartments and our other Cotai Strip developments); $11.3 million for construction activities at Sands Bethlehem; and $12.6 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and for corporate and other activities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company purchased $173.9 million of short-term investments, which are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at cost.
Cash Flows — Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash flows used in financing activities were $599.4 million. The net decrease was primarily attributable to the repayments of $785.9 million of borrowings under the U.S. senior secured credit facility, payments of $30.2 million to purchase our senior notes and dividends paid to preferred stockholders of $23.4 million, offset by proceeds of $272.1 million under the Singapore credit facility.
Development Financing Strategy
Through March 31, 2010, we have funded our development projects primarily through borrowings under our U.S., Macau and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from our recent equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.
The U.S. credit facility and FF&E facility require 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 6.0x for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010, decreases to 5.5x for the quarterly periods ended September 30, and December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 5.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Macau credit facility, as amended in August 2009, requires our Macau operations to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ended September 30 and December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. We can elect to contribute up to $50 million and $20 million of cash on hand to our Las Vegas and Macau operations, respectively, on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA by the corresponding amount during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the “EBITDA true-up”). 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 facilities would trigger a cross-default under our airplane financings, which, if the respective lenders chose to accelerate the indebtedness outstanding under these agreements, would result in a default under our senior notes. A default under the Macau credit facility would trigger a cross-default under the 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.

In 2008, we completed a $475.0 million convertible senior notes offering and a $2.1 billion common and preferred stock and warrants offering. In 2009, we completed a $600.0 million exchangeable bond offering and our $2.5 billion SCL Offering. A portion of the proceeds from these offerings was used in the U.S. to pay down of $775.9 million under the revolving portion of the U.S. credit facility in March 2010, to exercise the EBITDA true-up provision during the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010, and was contributed to Las Vegas Sands, LLC to reduce its net debt in order to maintain compliance with the maximum leverage ratio for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, our U.S. leverage ratio was 5.4x, compared to the maximum leverage ratio allowed of 6.0x. Proceeds were also used in Macau to exercise the EBITDA true-up provision during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009, and cash on hand was used to pay down $125.0 million of indebtedness under the Macau credit facility in 2009 in order to maintain compliance with the maximum leverage ratio for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010. In November 2009, in connection with the SCL Offering, we were required to repay $500.0 million of borrowings under our Macau credit facility, permanently reducing a pro rata portion of the revolving facility. As of March 31, 2010, our Macau leverage ratio was 2.6x, compared to the maximum leverage ratio allowed of 4.0x.
We held unrestricted and restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments of approximately $3.93 billion and $301.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2010. We believe that the cash and investments on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our revised development plan and maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our U.S. and Macau credit facilities. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate our capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. In connection with receiving commitments for a proposed $1.75 billion project financing credit facility (which we expect to close in the second quarter of 2010) to be used together with $500.0 million of proceeds from the SCL Offering, we are mobilizing to recommence construction of phases I and II of our Cotai Strip development on parcels 5 and 6.
Aggregate Indebtedness and Other Known Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2010, 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, 2009, with the exception of borrowings of $285.2 million under our Singapore credit facility (which mature in March 2015 and include quarterly payments commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2011, with the remaining principal due in full upon maturity), a repayment of $775.9 million under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility (which would have matured in May 2012 with no interim amortization) and the repurchase of $32.7 million of the outstanding principal of our senior notes (which would have matured in February 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., Macau 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, 2010, 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 years ending March 31:

As of March 31, 2010, we have 29 interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.8 million based on quoted market values from the institutions holding the agreements.

Borrowings under the $5.0 billion senior secured credit facility bear interest at our election, at either an adjusted Eurodollar rate or at an alternative base rate plus a credit spread. The revolving facility and term loans bear interest at the alternative base rate plus 0.5% per annum or 0.75% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.5% per annum or 1.75% per annum, respectively, subject to downward adjustments based upon our credit rating. Borrowings under the Macau credit facility, as amended, bear interest at our election, at either an adjusted Eurodollar rate (or in the case of the local term loan, adjusted HIBOR) plus 4.5% per annum or at an alternative base rate plus 3.5% per annum. Applicable spreads under the Macau revolving facility and the local term loan are subject to a downward adjustment if certain consolidated leverage ratios are satisfied. 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, were $4.1 million primarily due to U.S. denominated debt held in Macau. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/Macau pataca exchange rate. Based on balances as of March 31, 2010, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Macau pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of approximately $25.4 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 our management, including our 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, 2010, and have concluded that they are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved.
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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
