Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Subsequent to Boyd Gaming Corporations fourth quarter earnings release, Borgata, the Companys 50% joint venture with MGM MIRAGE, received a refund notice regarding certain state tax credits and recorded a fourth quarter benefit for amounts earned in 2003 and 2004, which had previously been fully reserved. The Companys share of the adjustment (based upon its 50% ownership of Borgata) is $11.5 million on a pre-tax basis, and the impact of the adjustment on the Companys results of operations is summarized as follows:
