During the period ended March 31, 1995 the Company borrowed $8,000,000 under the
credit line which was repaid during the third quarter of 1995. As of March 31,
1996, no amounts were outstanding under the credit line.


NOTE 5.  INCOME TAXES

     The Company accounts for income taxes according to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS
109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves,
related to net operating loss carryforwards and certain temporary differences.
The standard requires recognition of a future tax benefit to the extent that
realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation
allowance is applied. As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Combined
Companies determined that $0 and $4,486,000, respectively, of deferred tax
assets did not satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in the standard
because of the Combined Companies' short operating history. Accordingly, a
valuation allowance was recorded to reserve the applicable deferred tax assets.

March 31, 1996 were $200,782,000, an increase of $38,821,000 (24%), compared
with $161,961,000 for the same period in 1995. The overall improvement in the
revenues for the current year's period over the prior year reflects the
Company's emphasis on developing a stronger national customer base, and
augmenting customer mix while reducing revenue volatility.

     Casino revenues for the period was $122,747,000, compared with $91,326,000 
for the same period in 1995. The increase of $31,421,000 (34.4%), in Casino 
revenues was principally due to improved volume and hold in table games 
(excluding baccarat) and slots in the current period when compared with the 
prior year. Baccarat revenue decreased for the 1996 period due to a reduction in
volume, partially offset by a stronger hold, when compared with 1995.

     Room revenue for the period was $43,523,000, an increase of $4,605,000
(11.8%), on an occupancy rate of 93.3% versus $38,918,000 on an occupancy rate
of 87.5% for the first quarter of 1995. Additionally, the average room rate
increased $4 to $103 in 1996 from $99 in 1995. The improved occupancy and higher
average room rate both contributed to the increased revenues for the 1996 period
over the prior year.

     Food and beverage revenues of $18,867,000, decreased $3,948,000 (17.3%) 
from $22,815,000 in the 1995 period. The decrease in the current year is due to 
the conversion of three previously owned restaurants to tenancies as a result of
the Company restructuring plan which was effective August 1995.

     Entertainment, retail and other revenues of $29,322,000, increased
$6,644,000 (29.3%) from $22,678,000 in the prior year. The increase was
primarily attributable to EFX which was operational for an abbreviated period in
1995 (116 shows in 1996 versus 11 shows in 1995), and the Star Lane Shops Mall
which was not operational in the 1995 period, partially offset by the reduction
of the Grand Garden events which included three events in the current period,
compared with eight in the prior year's period. Additionally, lease income
increased in the current period as a result of the outsourcing of three
restaurants in the third and fourth quarters of 1995.

     Operating expenses of $148,236,000 represented an increase in the current 
period of $8,607,000 (6.2%), over the prior year of $139,628,000. The overall 
increase was primarily attributable to higher costs related to improved
revenues, and a significant increase in the provision for doubtful accounts and
discounts of $7,450,000. Additionally, depreciation and amortization increased
in the current quarter due to EFX equipment, and the Star Lane Shops Mall, as
well as other asset additions fully depreciated in the current quarter's period,
which were not in service in the 1995 period. Such increases were partially
offset by the effects of the restructuring plan, coupled with the benefits of
the continuing cost containment efforts. In addition, general and administrative
costs decreased largely as a result of reduced advertising costs for EFX in the
1996 period when compared with 1995.

     Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $52,546,000,
an increase of $30,213,000 (135%), compared with $22,333,000 for the same 
period in 1995.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
        OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Interest income of $1,159,000 for the period ended March 31, 1996, 
increased by $1,054,000 from $105,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The increase
was primarily attributable to higher invested cash balances during the current 
year's quarter reflecting strong operating activity, and increased collections 
on casino receivables when compared with lower cash balances in the prior year's
period.

     Interest expense in the first quarter of 1996 of $13,978,000 (net 
capitalized interest) decreased by $1,351,000 (8.5%) when compared with 
$15,329,000 in the prior year's period. The decrease in the current year 
included capitalized interest of $1,117,000 related to the New York-New York 
construction project. Additional interest expense was incurred in the first 
quarter of 1995 as a result of $8,000,000 outstanding on the bank line of credit
which had been repaid by the third quarter of 1995.

     Management fee and other of $4,530,000 for the period ended March 31, 
1996, increased by $1,890,000 from $2,640,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The 
increase in management fees is due to significant improvements in operating 
revenues.

     The income tax provision of $11,923,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 
1996, increased $11,029,000 over the prior period of $894,000. The income tax 
provision for the current period was higher due to the significant improvements 
in operating income and a higher effective tax rate due to extinguishment of the
NOL carryforward.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Combined Companies held
cash and cash equivalents of $148,202,000 and $77,715,000, respectively. Cash
provided by operating activities was $78,006,000 and $5,295,000 in the first
quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Combined Companies expect to finance
operations and capital expenditures through cash on hand, cash flows from
operations, and the bank line of credit.

     Capital expenditures during the first three months of 1996 were 
$8,029,000 primarily for general property improvements.

     On May 6, 1996, MGM Grand Las Vegas announced details of a 30 month,
$250,000,000 Master Plan designed to transform the facility into "The City of
Entertainment",thus creating additional exciting food, beverage, entertainment
and retail venues. The plan features a series of substantive improvements and
additions throughout its 112-acre destination resort property. The Master Plan
will unfold in four phases, and is scheduled to begin in June 1996. Details of
the extensive renovation include refurbishment of the lion entry, the porte
cochere, casino areas, luxury suites, parking facilities, and the theme park. In
addition, new facilities include a convention center, entertainment/retail
complex, and a second porte cochere entrance. The Company is evaluating the
alternative use and/or disposition of certain existing assets which could be
affected by the implementation of the Master Plan. Although the specific assets
to be redeployed, or disposed of, in connection with the Master Plan has not yet
been determined, the write-down of the carrying value of such assets is not
currently expected to exceed $20,000,000.


     In order to significantly lower MGM Grand's cost of capital, enhance
financial flexibility and position MGM Grand to finance its anticipated future
growth, MGM Grand has arranged for a new $500 million bank credit facility to
replace MGM Finance's existing high cost public debt. In May 1996, MGM Grand
received a commitment from BA Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Bank of America
N.T. & S.A. ("B of A"), to arrange for a new $500 million senior reducing
revolving credit facility as well as a commitment from B of A for a $125 million
interim facility. MGM Grand plans to sell approximately 7,500,000 shares of
Common Stock (excluding Underwriter's option to purchase 1,125,000 shares of
common stock) in an underwritten public offering (the "Offering"). Based upon
the closing price ($41.00) of the common stock, as reported by the New York
Stock Exchange on May 13, 1996 it is anticipated that the net proceeds of the
Offering will be approximately $295.0 million ($339.4 million if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). The bank facilities 
will be used, together with cash on hand, and proceeds from the Offering, to 
defease the outstanding secured debt obligations of MGM Finance. It is 
anticipated that the defeasance will result in an extraordinary charge of 
approximately $37 million.
