ITEM 2.02  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Subsequent to MGM MIRAGE’s fourth quarter earnings release, Borgata received a notice of refund regarding certain state tax credits and recorded a fourth quarter benefit for amounts earned in 2003 and 2004, which had previously been fully reserved. MGM MIRAGE’s share of the adjustment (based on its 50% ownership of Borgata) is $11.5 million on a pre-tax basis, and the impact of the adjustment on the Company’s results of operations is summarized as follows:
