                    ATLANTIC CITY BOARDWALK ASSOCIATES, L.P.
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


(1)      The Partnership

         Atlantic City Boardwalk Associates,  L.P. ("Partnership") was formed on
         October  31,  1983 to  acquire  the  buildings,  parking  facility  and
         non-gaming  depreciable,   tangible  property   (collectively,   "Hotel
         Assets")  of The  Claridge  Hotel and  Casino  ("Claridge")  located in
         Atlantic City, New Jersey; to hold a leasehold  interest in the land on
         which the  Claridge is located  ("Land"),  which Land was  subsequently
         acquired  by the  Partnership  as  part  of a  financial  restructuring
         ("Restructuring  Agreement");  and to engage in  activities  related or
         incidental thereto. The Partnership leases the Land and Hotel Assets to
         The  Claridge  at  Park  Place,   Incorporated   ("New  Claridge"),   a
         wholly-owned  subsidiary of The Claridge  Hotel and Casino  Corporation
         ("Corporation"), under operating leases.

(2)      Financial Condition of the Partnership and New Claridge

         The ability of the  Partnership to fulfill its obligations is dependent
         upon the  ability  of New  Claridge  to pay rental  payments  when due.
         Accordingly,  the financial  stability of the  Partnership is dependent
         upon the financial condition of New Claridge.

         As discussed in the Claridge's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
         ended December 31, 1996, the Corporation  experienced  recurring losses
         and  serious  deterioration  in  its  cash  flow  in  1996.  Since  the
         Corporation does not have substantial cash reserves or access to a line
         of  credit,  the  Corporation  will need to  experience  a  significant
         improvement  in operating  results in 1997 over 1996 levels in order to
         meet its on-going  obligations,  including  the interest due on the $85
         million  of  First  Mortgage  Notes.  Operating  results  in 1997  have
         improved over 1996 levels,  due primarily to the positive impact of the
         availability of the self-parking garage, lower bus package pricing, and
         other  cost  containment   initiatives.   Although  management  of  the
         Corporation  believes that  operating  results will continue to improve
         over prior year levels,  no assurances as to the  continuation  of this
         improvement  can be given.  Management of New Claridge will continue to
         conserve  cash through  various cost  containment  measures,  including
         limiting  capital  expenditures  in 1997 to  approximately  $1 million.
         Given the various  improvements  made to the property in recent  years,
         including  the  casino  expansion  in  1994,  the  construction  of the
         self-parking  garage,  and other projects such as the  refurbishment of
         all of its guest rooms,  the current  condition of the property is such
         that  the  above-mentioned  level of  capital  expenditures  is  deemed
         adequate.  In January 1997 management of the Corporation was contacted,
         through an agent, by Hilton Hotel Corporation  ("Hilton"),  regarding a
         possible sale of the Corporation to Hilton, and shortly thereafter, the
         Corporation began  negotiations  with Hilton.  Negotiations with Hilton
         regarding  acquisition  of the  Corporation  terminated  in April 1997.
         Management  of  New  Claridge   will   continue  to  consider   various
         refinancing  alternatives,  including  a sale  of the  Corporation.  In
         addition,  New  Claridge  has retained the law firm of Zelle and Larson
         LLP of  Minneapolis,  Minnesota to assist in evaluating rhe recovery of
         certain expenses  incurred in reopening the self-parking  garage and in
         evaluating  potential  lost profit  claims as a result of the  accident
         which occurred in the self-parking garage on July 10, 1996. On July 22,
         1997, New Claridge filed a Complaint and Demand for  Arbitration in the
         amount of $10 million against the general  contractor and the architect
         for the  self-parking  garage;  recovery of these  claims  would have a
         positive  impact on New  Claridge's  financial  results and  liquidity.
         However,  there is no assurance that the Corporation will be successful
         in realizing any recovery.

         The Corporation had net income of $1,275,000 for the three months ended
         June 30, 1997 compared to a net loss of $3,241,000  for the same period
         in 1996, and a net loss of $3,540,000 for the six months ended June 30,
         1997 compared to a net loss of $6,314,000 for the six months ended June
         30,  1996.  During the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same
         period  in  1996,  revenues  net of  promotional  allowances  decreased
         $954,000  while  expenses  decreased  $7,659,000  - a decrease  in loss
         before income taxes of $6,705,000. During the first six months of 1996,
         the Corporation recorded a $3,931,000 income tax benefit as a result of
         the losses incurred in that period. The Corporation  recorded an income
         tax benefit of $1,175,000,  offset by a  corresponding  increase in the
         valuation allowance for the same period in 1997.

         The ownership and operation of casino-hotel facilities in Atlantic City
         are subject to extensive state  regulation under the Casino Control Act
         under the direction of the New Jersey Casino  Control  Commission.  The
         Casino  Control Act provides  that various  categories of entities must
         hold appropriate  casino licenses.  The Partnership  currently operates
         under a four-year casino service industry license effective October 31,
         1995, while New Claridge  operates under a four-year casino  operator's
         license effective September 30, 1995.

(3)      Contingencies

         In connection with the 1989 restructuring,  Webb agreed to permit those
         partners/investors  in  the  Partnership  and  Corporation  ("Releasing
         Partners/Investors")  from whom Webb has received written releases from
         all  liabilities,  rights  ("Contingent  Payment  Rights")  to  receive
         certain  amounts  to  the  extent  available  for  application  to  the
         Contingent   Payment.    Approximately   84%   in   interest   of   the
         partners/investors    provided    releases    and   became    Releasing
         Partners/Investors.  Payments to Releasing Partners/Investors are to be
         made in  accordance  with a schedule of  priorities,  as defined in the
         Restructuring Agreement.

         On April 2, 1990,  Webb  transferred  its  interest  in the  Contingent
         Payment to an  irrevocable  trust for the  benefit of the Valley of the
         Sun United Way, and upon such transfer  Webb was no longer  required to
         be qualified or licensed by the Commission.

         On February 23, 1996, the  Corporation  acquired an option to purchase,
         at a discount from the carrying  value,  the  Contingent  Payment.  The
         price to  acquire  the  option  was $1  million,  and the option may be
         exercised  any time prior to December  31, 1997.  Upon  exercise of the
         option,  the  purchase  price of the  Contingent  Payment  would be $10
         million,  plus interest at 10% per annum for the period from January 1,
         1997 to the date of payment of the purchase  price.  The purchase price
         may also  increase  in an amount  not to exceed  $10  million if future
         distributions to Releasing Partners/Investors exceed $20 million. It is
         estimated that at June 30, 1997, the aggregate  amount owing in respect
         of the Contingent Payment was $70.8 million.

         Given the recent  operating  results at New  Claridge  (see  discussion
         above),  it is unlikely that the Corporation  would be able to exercise
         this Contingent  Payment Option using  available  working  capital,  or
         absent a refinancing or sale transaction.

         In the event that the option is exercised,  it is anticipated  that the
         Contingent  Payment  would be canceled so that neither the  Corporation
         nor the  Partnership  would have any  obligation to make any payment in
         respect of the  Contingent  Payment  before  making a  distribution  to
         limited partners or shareholders.  Upon the purchase and  cancellation,
         however,  the Corporation and the Partnership would remain obligated to
         make  payments to the Releasing  Partners/Investors,  in respect of the
         Contingent  Payment  Rights,  before  any  distribution  may be made to
         limited partners or  shareholders.  These payments would be required to
         be in the  same  amounts  as if the  Contingent  Payment  had not  been
         purchased  and  canceled.  As a result,  it is not likely that  limited
         partners or shareholders who are not Releasing  Partners/Investors will
         receive any distribution  from the Partnership or the  Corporation.  In
         the aggregate,  Releasing Partners/Investors are entitled to receive an
         amount  equal to  approximately  72% of the  Contingent  Payment if the
         option is exercised.

         Under the terms of the option, upon purchase of the Contingent Payment,
         the  Partnership  and/or  the  Corporation  would be  required  to make
         distributions    in   excess   of   $7   million   to   the   Releasing
         Partners/Investors.  The Partnership and the Corporation have agreed to
         cooperate  in the  purchase of the option and the  Contingent  Payment,
         with each contributing one-half of the purchase price of the Contingent
         Payment.   A  portion  of  the  Partnership's   contribution  would  be
         contributed  through  additional  abatements of basic rent payments due
         under the Operating Lease and the Expansion Operating Lease.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Results of Operations for the Three-Month  and Six-Month  Periods Ended June 30,
1997 as Compared to the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 1996

Rental  income for the three  months ended June 30, 1997  decreased  $496,000 as
compared to the three  months  ended June 30,  1996,  and  $313,000  for the six
months  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months  ended June 30,  1996.
These  decreases  are  primarily  due to the  abatements of rent pursuant to the
March 1, 1997  amendments to the Operating  Lease and Expansion  Operating Lease
(see  "Liquidity  and Capital  Resources").  Prior to these  amendments,  rental
income (including the effect of the $38.8 million of rent abatements provided in
accordance  with the 1989  Restructuring  Agreement) was recognized on a leveled
basis over the initial lease term (ending  September  30,  1998),  in accordance
with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 13. Since the amount of
abatements  permitted in  accordance  with the March 1997  amendments  will vary
depending on the Partnership's cash flow,  leveling of these abatements over the
lease term is not  possible;  the  actual  amount  abated on a monthly  basis is
recorded as a reduction of rental income.  For the three- and six-month  periods
ended June 30, 1997 the amount of rent abated in accordance  with the March 1997
amendments was $2,485,000 and $3,715,000, respectively. In addition to the basic
rent, New Claridge pays as additional  rent,  certain  expenses and debt service
relating  to  furniture,   fixture  and  equipment   replacements  and  building
improvements  ("FF&E").  During 1997, FF&E note principal and interest  payments
were higher than in 1996  resulting in increased  additional  rents in 1997. The
overall  decrease  in  rents is due to the  abatement  of  rents  offset  by the
increase in additional rents.

Investment  income decreased $22,000 and $27,000,  respectively,  for the three-
and six-month  periods ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods ended
June 30, 1996.  Investment income decreased due to a reduction in cash available
to invest. On March 1, 1997 the Partnership's cash flow was reduced $1.3 million
in the form of  deferred  rent  from  New  Claridge  which is being  paid to the
Partnership on a monthly basis through October 1999.

The Partnership has an agreement with New Claridge whereby New Claridge provides
facility  and  maintenance  and  engineering  services  for  the  Claridge.  The
agreement calls for the  reimbursement of the actual  facilities and maintenance
costs  incurred  on the  Partnership's  behalf.  The  cost  of  maintaining  and
repairing Hotel Assets decreased $212,000 and $499,000, respectively, during the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods
in 1996.  These  decreases  are due to an  overall  decrease  in New  Claridge's
repairs and maintenance expenditures in an effort to conserve cash.

For the three- and  six-month  periods  ended June 30,  1997,  interest  expense
decreased $398,000 and $796,000,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods
ended June 30, 1996.  These decreases are due to principal  payments made during
1996 and 1997 that reduced the average outstanding balance of the wraparound and
expansion mortgages.

General and  administrative  expenses  for the three  months ended June 30, 1997
increased  $36,000 as  compared  to the three  months  ended  June 30,  1996 and
$39,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 as  compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1996. These increases are due to higher legal and accounting fees
as a result of the Claridge refinancing efforts.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three- and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1997 decreased  $339,000 and $629,000,  respectively as compared to the
same periods in 1996.  Assets  purchased  during the 1986 expansion became fully
depreciated in mid-1996.  Therefore,  depreciation expense taken on these assets
during  the first  half of 1996 was not  available  during  1997,  resulting  in
decreased depreciation expense in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  ability of the  Partnership  to  continue  to fulfill  its  obligations  is
dependent  upon the ability of New Claridge to continue to make rental  payments
when due.  Current lease payments from New Claridge,  as recently  amended,  are
sufficient to pay the Partnership's debt service and operating expenses. As part
of the 1989 Restructuring  Agreement,  rental payments in excess of monthly cash
flow  requirements  were  deferred  or  abated  so that  excess  cash  would not
accumulate in the Partnership. The 1997 restructuring continued this deferral or
abatement  of  excess  cash  flow  through  1998  and  limit  cash  flow  to the
Partnership  from 1998 to 2003 as  described  below.  At the closing of the 1989
restructuring  the  Partnership  loaned New  Claridge  $3.6  million.  The note,
including interest, along with those rentals deferred under the amendment to the
operating  leases,  are to be  repaid  to the  Partnership  upon (i) the sale or
refinancing  of the  Claridge;  (ii) upon full or  partial  satisfaction  of the
Expandable  Wraparound  Mortgage;  and (iii) upon full satisfaction of any first
mortgage then in place.  The deferral of $1.3 million of rental  obligations  as
part of the 1997  restructuring  leaves the  Partnership  with  minimal cash and
liquidity.

Effective  March 1, 1997,  the  Corporation,  New Claridge  and the  Partnership
entered into a restructuring agreement, pursuant to which New Claridge agreed to
use its  best  efforts  to cause a  modification  of the  Expandable  Wraparound
Mortgage  (the  "Wraparound  Modification")  that  is  permitted  by,  or  is in
compliance  with,  the terms of the indenture  (the  "Indenture")  governing the
Corporation's $85 million of First Mortgage Notes (the "Notes").  The Wraparound
Modification,  if so  permitted,  will  provide for an extension of the maturity
date of the Expandable Wraparound Mortgage from September 30, 2000 to January 1,
2004. If the Wraparound  Modification  is not permitted by or in compliance with
the terms of the  Indenture,  New Claridge  has agreed to effect the  Wraparound
Modification at such time as the Notes are no longer outstanding. In addition to
the modification to the Expandable  Wraparound  Mortgage,  the Corporation,  New
Claridge,  and the  Partnership  agreed to modify certain terms of the Operating
Lease and Expansion Operating Lease agreements, as discussed below.

The Operating Lease, together with the Expansion Operating Lease, was amended as
part  of the  1989  Restructuring  Agreement  to  provide  for the  deferral  of
$15,078,000  of rental  payments  during the  period  July 1, 1988  through  the
beginning of 1992, and to provide for the abatement of $38,820,000 of basic rent
through  1998,  thereby  reducing  the  Partnership's  cash  flow  to an  amount
estimated  to be necessary  only to meet the  Partnership's  cash  requirements.
During the third quarter of 1991, the maximum  deferral of rent was reached.  On
August 1, 1991,  the  Operating  Lease and the  Expansion  Operating  Lease were
amended further to revise the abatement  provisions so that,  commencing January
1, 1991,  for each  calendar  year through 1998,  the lease  abatements  may not
exceed $10 million in any one calendar year,  and  $38,820,000 in the aggregate.
Additional  abatements of rent totaling $500,000 were also available as a result
of the acquisition of the option to purchase the Contingent Payment.  During the
first quarter of 1997, all of these abatements were fully utilized.

The Fifth  Amendment  to the  Operating  Lease and the Fourth  Amendment  to the
Expansion  Operating Lease, which were effective on March 1, 1997,  provided for
the  abatement of $867,953 of basic rent and for the deferral of $1.3 million of
basic rent on March 1, 1997,  and provided for  additional  abatements  of basic
rent, commencing on April 1, 1997, as necessary to reduce the Partnership's cash
flow to an amount necessary to meet the Partnership's cash requirements  through
December 31, 1998  (determined  without  regard to the repayment of the deferred
rent). The $1.3 million of basic rent deferred on March 1, 1997 is to be paid to
the Partnership in monthly  installments of $25,000 for the period April 1, 1997
through December 31, 1997, and monthly installments of $50,000 for the year 1998
and  thereafter  until  paid in full  (subject  to  acceleration  under  certain
circumstances).  For the years 1999 through 2003, additional abatements of basic
rent will be reduced to provide the Partnership  with amounts needed to meet the
Partnership's  cash requirements plus an additional amount ($83,333 per month in
1999 and 2000,  $125,000  per month in 2001,  and $166,667 per month in 2002 and
2003). All abatement of rent in excess of the $38,820,000,  which was allowed in
accordance  with the 1989  restructuring,  will be  recognized as a reduction of
rental income as it is abated.

In conjunction  with the Fifth  Amendment to the Operating  Lease and the Fourth
Amendment to the Expansion Operating Lease, as described above, the Corporation,
New  Claridge  and  the  Partnership  entered  into a  restructuring  agreement,
effective  March 1, 1997, to modify certain terms of the  Expandable  Wraparound
Mortgage.  In addition,  under the March 1, 1997  restructuring  agreement,  New
Claridge  agreed  to  exercise  the  first of  three  ten-year  renewal  options
extending the term of the Operating Lease and Expansion  Operating Lease through
September 30, 2008.

Under the terms of the Operating Lease, as amended  effective March 1, 1997, New
Claridge has an option to purchase,  on September 30, 1998, the Hotel Assets and
the  underlying  land for  their  fair  market  value at the time the  option is
exercised.  As amended  effective March 1, 1997, such price may not be less than
an amount equal to the amount then outstanding  under the Expandable  Wraparound
Mortgage plus $2.5 million, plus any amount of the $1.3 million of rent deferred
on March 1, 1997 not then paid. If New Claridge does not exercise this option on
September  30, 1998,  it may  exercise an option,  on  September  30,  2003,  to
purchase the Hotel Assets and the underlying  land on January 1, 2004, for their
fair market value at the time the option is exercised.

Basic rent during the renewal  term of the  Operating  Lease will be  calculated
pursuant  to a formula,  with such rent not be more than $29.5  million nor less
than $24 million in the lease year October 1, 1998 through  September  30, 1999,
and  subsequently,  not to be greater  than 10% more than the basic rent for the
preceding  lease  year in each  lease year  thereafter.  Basic  rent  during the
renewal term of the Expansion  Operating Lease will also be calculated  pursuant
to a formula,  with such rent not to be more than $3 million  nor less than $2.5
million in the lease year  October  1, 1998  through  September  30,  1999,  and
subsequently, not be greater than 10% more than the basic rent for the preceding
lease year in each lease year  thereafter.  Therefore,  the aggregate basic rent
payable  during the  initial  years of the  renewal  term of the leases  will be
significantly below the 1997 level.

The  Partnership  funds the  purchase of  additional  Hotel  Assets by borrowing
funds, at a 14% interest rate, from New Claridge.  The ensuing notes are secured
under the  Expandable  Wraparound  Mortgage  up to $25  million.  Principal  and
interest  on  these  notes  are  then  reimbursed  to  the  Partnership  through
additional rentals from New Claridge. Under the Operating Lease, New Claridge is
required to reimburse the Partnership for all taxes, assessments,  insurance and
general and administrative costs of the Partnership.

The Partnership had a working capital deficiency of approximately $18,455,000 as
of June 30, 1997 and  $17,084,000 as of December 31, 1996.  The working  capital
deficiency  primarily  results from the  consummation of the 1989  Restructuring
Agreement as well as the 1997 restructuring.  As part of the 1989 restructuring,
the  Partnership's  cash flow was reduced to an amount no greater  than what the
Partnership  needs to pay  Partnership  expenses,  including debt service.  Such
concept was continued through 1998 in the 1997  restructuring.  Thus, so long as
the Claridge is financially  viable and continues to make all payments under the
operating  leases,  the  Partnership  expects  to be  able  to pay  its  current
liabilities.
