Recent Events



TCH
Note Offering.    On March 25, 2003, two of our subsidiaries, Trump Casino Holdings, LLC, or TCH, and Trump Casino Funding, Inc., or TCF, consummated an offering, or the TCH Note Offering, of $475.0 million aggregate
principal amount of two new mortgage notes, consisting of $425.0 million principal amount of first priority mortgage notes due March 15, 2010, bearing interest at a rate of 11.625% per year payable in cash, sold at a price of 94.832% of their face
amount for an effective yield of 12.75%, or the First Priority Mortgage Notes, and $50.0 million principal amount of second priority mortgage notes due September 15, 2010, bearing interest at a rate of 11.625% per year payable in cash, plus
6.0% through the issuance of payable-in-kind notes (the Second Priority Mortgage Notes, and together with the First Priority Mortgage Notes, the TCH Notes).



In connection with the TCH Note Offering, Donald J. Trump purchased in a concurrent private offering, $15.0 million aggregate principal
amount of additional Second Priority Mortgage Notes at the same purchase price at which the initial purchasers purchased the Second Priority Mortgage Notes. See Certain Relationships and Related Transactions; Second Priority Mortgage
Notes.



Interest on the First Priority
Mortgage Notes is payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2003. The First Priority Mortgage Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis, jointly and severally, by each of
TCHs existing and future subsidiaries: Trump Marina Associates, L.P. (formerly known as Trumps Castle Associates, L.P.), Trump Marina, Inc. (formerly known as Trumps Castle Hotel & Casino, Inc.), Trump Indiana, Inc., Trump
Indiana Realty LLC, THCR Management Holdings, LLC and THCR Management Services, LLC (collectively, the Subsidiary Guarantors). TCF and future subsidiaries of TCH which are deemed to be unrestricted upon formation will not be guarantors of the TCH
Notes. The obligations of TCH and TCF under the TCH Notes are secured by first priority liens, subject to certain exceptions, on substantially all of each Subsidiary Guarantors existing and future assets, including, among other things, all of
each Subsidiary Guarantors owned and leased real and personal property, equipment and related general intangibles, as well as all of the equity interests held in and by such Subsidiary Guarantors, whether now owned or later acquired. The liens
do not include, however, the Subsidiary Guarantors accounts receivables, inventory, gaming licenses, certain furniture, fixtures and equipment and certain property.



Interest on the Second Priority Mortgage Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each
year, commencing September 15, 2003. The Second Priority Mortgage Notes are secured by the same collateral as the First Priority Mortgage Notes, except that the liens securing the Second Priority Mortgage Notes and the guarantees of the Second
Priority Mortgage Notes rank junior to the liens securing the First Priority Mortgage Notes and certain other liens permitted under the indentures governing the TCH Notes. To the extent that collateral is released under the liens securing the First
Priority Mortgage Notes, the holders of the Second Priority Mortgage Notes would be required to release their security interest in the same collateral.



The net proceeds of the TCH Note Offering were or will be used to:



| |  |  | redeem at the applicable redemption prices $242.1 million aggregate principal amount of Trumps Castle Funding, Inc.s, or Castle Fundings, 11.75%
Mortgage Notes due 2003;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | repay $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of Trump Marina Associates, L.P.s, or Marina Associates, bank debt due 2003;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | redeem at the applicable redemption prices $14.3 million principal amount of Castle Fundings 13.875% Pay-In-Kind Notes due 2005, or the Castle PIK Notes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | repay $20.3 million aggregate principal amount of Trump Indiana, Inc.s bank debt in 2006;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | acquire and redeem at the applicable redemption prices $96.9 million aggregate principal amount (including the call premium) of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts
Holdings, L.P.s, or THCR Holdings, 15.5% Senior Notes due 2005, or the THCR Holdings Senior Notes; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | repay $0.2 million aggregate principal amount of THCR Management Services, LLCs, or Trump 29 Services, bank debt due 2003.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Also, in connection with the TCH Note Offering, $141.9 million
principal amount of Castle PIK Notes and $35.5 million principal amount of THCR Holdings Senior Notes held by THCR Holdings and its subsidiaries were contributed to TCH and cancelled without payment.



Included in the $96.9 million principal amount (including call
premium) of THCR Holdings Senior Notes purchased with the net proceeds of the TCH Note Offering, $1.7 million principal amount of THCR Holdings Senior Notes were held by Mr. Trump. THCR Holdings also acquired an additional $15.0 million principal
amount of THCR Holdings Senior Notes on the closing date of the TCH Note Offering in a private transaction with Donald J. Trump. The purchase price of the aggregate $16.7 million principal amount of THCR Holdings Senior Notes acquired from Mr. Trump
consisted of 1,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of THCR valued at $15.0 million, plus a cash amount equal to $1.7 million, plus the applicable redemption premium of 2.583% (approximately $432,000) and accrued interest of approximately $0.7
million on the entire $16.7 million principal amount of THCR Holdings Senior Notes sold by Mr. Trump. The Series A Preferred Stock of THCR may in the future be exchanged for an aggregate of 7,894,737 shares of common stock of THCR. The Series A
Preferred Stock (which is newly designated) does not pay or accrue any dividend and has a liquidation preference aggregating $15.0 million. The Series A Preferred Stock may not be exchanged for common stock until such time as the stockholders of
THCR approve such issuance. See Certain Relationships and Related Transactions; Purchase of THCR Holdings Senior Notes from Mr. Trump.



The TCH Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Exchange Act. Under the indentures
governing the TCH Notes, TCH and TCF have agreed to use their best efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC within 90 days of the closing to register notes having substantially identical terms as the TCH Notes, or the Exchange Notes, as
part of an offer to exchange freely tradable Exchange Notes for the TCH Notes and to cause that registration statement to be declared effective within 210 days of the TCH Note Offering. If the registration statement for the Exchange Notes is not
filed on time or declared effective within 210 days of filing with the SEC, or if the offer to exchange the TCH Notes for the Exchange Notes is not completed within 240 days of the TCH Note Offering, the interest rate of the TCH Notes will increase
by 0.5% increments for each 90-day period during which the registration default continues, until a maximum additional interest rate of 2.0% over the initial rate is obtained. The interest rate on the TCH Notes will revert to the initial interest
rate when the registration statement for the Exchange Notes is declared effective by the SEC. TCH and TCF have also agreed to file Exchange Act reports with the SEC.



Formation of TCH and TCF.TCH is a Delaware limited liability company of which
THCR Holdings is the sole member. TCF is a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH. Upon the consummation of the TCH Note Offering, THCR Holdings contributed to TCH the equity interests of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Upon THCR
Holdings contribution of the equity securities in the above-mentioned entities to TCH, these entities became wholly-owned subsidiaries of TCH.

up to approximately 1,200 persons, which can be used as a theater, concert hall, boxing arena or exhibition hall; the Casbah, a popular New York style nightclub; and the Mark G. Etess Arena featuring approximately 63,000 square feet of
exhibition and entertainment space accommodating up to 5,200 persons.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In the fall of 2002, we began renovating the Trump Taj Mahals hotel guest rooms and suites. Approximately 230 guest rooms and suites were completed by December 31, 2002. The remaining guest rooms
are intended to be substantially completed by June 2003, prior to the high occupancy summer season.



| |  |  | Trump Marina Hotel Casinoappealing to a youthful (30 plus something) crowd with its Wild Side image and situated in a favorable section of

land-based pavilion, which we share with our joint venture partner, Majestic Star Casino, LLC, or Majestic Star, includes a 40,000 square
foot pavilion housing a buffet, a steakhouse restaurant, several restaurant kiosks, bars and lounges, gift shops and staging and ticketing areas. Through another joint venture with Majestic Star, we also own the site immediately adjacent to Trump
Indiana, which includes surface parking for 2,300 automobiles and a parking garage (completed in May 2002) that accommodates up to 2,000 cars. Also on the site is a 300-room hotel that we own and operate through our subsidiary, Trump Indiana, Inc.
See Business; Certain Agreements; Buffington Harbor Joint Venture.



In August 2002, Indiana permitted riverboat casinos to implement dockside gaming, which we have adopted. Dockside gaming eliminates Trump Indianas need to cruise which required patrons to wait
for boarding times that had previously been scheduled every two hours.



| |  |  | Trump 29 Casinolocated in Coachella, California in the Palm Springs resort area and featuring a desert-style floor setting ringed with gleaming
mountains, columns of water and walls of fire. Reopened under its new name, Trump 29 Casino, in April 2002, we manage Trump 29 Casino, or Trump 29, pursuant to a management agreement with the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of
California, or the Tribe. Trump 29 is owned by the Tribe through its sole ownership of the Twenty-Nine Palms Enterprises Corporation, or Twenty-Nine Palms. Located just off Interstate 10 in Coachella, California, 25 miles east of Palm Springs and
120 miles east of Los Angeles, Trump 29 is located within 175 miles of Californias three largest metropolitan areas, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, with a combined 2000 population of approximately 15.2 million people.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



During 2002, Trump 29 completed a
two-stage expansion and renovation project. The first expansion and renovation stage (completed in March 2002) increased Trump 29s casino facility to 200,000 square feet and included the addition of 1,500 slot machines and 35 table games. The
second stage (completed in September 2002) included the addition of approximately 500 slot machines, a 2,200 seat theater-type showroom, a fine-dining steakhouse and a food court. Trump 29 currently features approximately 1,970 slot machines,
35 table games and a 5,000 square foot ballroom in addition to the showroom and five restaurants. See Business; Certain Agreements; Trump 29 Management Agreement.

Indiana was the test site for ticket in/ticket out, or cashless, slot machines in Indiana. Cashless gaming is an alternative payment method to coin handling on the casino slot floor. Casino operators can program a slot machine to pay a slot payout,
or a portion thereof, with a ticket. The ticket can then be reinserted into another cashless slot machine, be exchanged for cash at a cashiers station or held by the player and used at a later time. The testing at Trump Indiana was
successfully completed in October 2002, and Trump Indiana presently has more than 600 cashless slot machines operating on it casino floor. We anticipate having another 700 new cashless slot machines operating at Trump Indiana during by the third
quarter of 2003. We also expect to have a portion of Trump Marinas, Trump Plazas and Trump Taj Mahals slot machines operating with cashless gaming technology during 2003. We believe that cashless slot machines enhance slot
patrons gaming experience as well as reduce overhead, labor and costs associated with operating a slot floor. Also, preliminary results have shown an increase in coin-in and win per unit per day for cashless test units.



Targeted Marketing and
Promotion.    We actively promote our casinos, entertainment offerings, hotels and restaurants by using a variety of media, including billboard and other outdoor signage, print, broadcast and the Internet. In addition, we
employ marketing representatives as a means of attracting gaming patrons to our properties. We have developed and maintain extensive and targeted customer databases. We also employ a focused direct-mail program, integrated with our player tracking
systems, to efficiently target our database customers with a variety of promotional programs to enhance customer loyalty. Promotional events in 2002 included gift giveaways, sweepstakes, slot tournaments and Asian and other ethnic events which were
designed to increase our frequent player programs. Trump Indiana has recently hired new marketing and player development management and staff with significant experience in the Midwest gaming market, in general, and Chicagoland, in particular. We
estimate that approximately 81% of our gaming revenues at Trump Plaza come from rated players (i.e., players in our database targeted for promotional programs), approximately 80% at the Trump Taj Mahal, approximately 87% at Trump Marina and
approximately 57% at Trump Indiana, evidencing our ability to attract our targeted customers.



Maintain Stringent Cost Controls.    We have achieved significant cost savings through several initiatives. These initiatives include matching employee schedules more
efficiently to peak business hours and implementing our more efficient cash reward programs that generate higher revenue at a lower cost than previous cash reward

programs. Coupled with our targeted marketing approach, we have been able to lower marketing costs and increase revenues at the Trump Casino
Properties without sacrificing customer service.



Premium Entertainment.    We pursue a program of providing headline entertainment at our properties. These entertainment offerings, which generate incremental revenue through ticket sales, also increase
pedestrian traffic in our hotels, restaurants and casinos. In addition, we coordinate entertainment events to coincide with slot player promotions to maximize the number of customers and gaming play in our casinos.



The Atlantic City Market



The Atlantic City market serves the New
York-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington, D.C. corridor with nearly 30 million adults living within a three-hour driving radius and has historically generated consistent growth in gaming revenues. The Atlantic City gaming market currently consists of
11 casino properties with a total of 11,700 hotel rooms and approximately 1.3 million square feet of gaming space containing approximately 38,000 slot machines and approximately 1,200 table games.



Other gaming operators in Atlantic City have announced or
recently completed new development or expansion projects that we believe will, if completed, attract new customers to Atlantic City. The Borgata, a casino resort complex being developed in Atlantic Citys marina district through a joint venture
between MGM Mirage, Inc. and Boyd Gaming Corporation, is expected to be completed in the summer of 2003 and will be the first new casino in Atlantic City in 13 years. The Borgata, located on a 25-acre site, will feature a 40 story tower with
2,010 rooms and suites, a 135,000 square foot casino, restaurants, retail shops, a spa and pool, and entertainment venues. Also in the marina district, Harrahs recently completed construction of an additional hotel tower with 452 rooms and
expanded its casino floor to include 950 additional slot machines. We believe that these projects will attract additional visitors to the marina district.



In addition, Park Place Entertainment, Inc. connected its Ballys and Claridge properties in July 2002 and merged the properties into
a single casino resort in December 2002. In December 2002, Park Places Caesars began renovating the adjacent Ocean One Mall into an upscale retail and entertainment monopoly-themed complex, which is expected to be completed in 2004.



In March 2002, Showboat Casino Hotel broke
ground for a 544 room hotel tower with an expected completion date in June 2003.



In April 2002, Aztar Corp. commenced its expansion of its Tropicana Atlantic City property. The expansion is intended to include an additional 502 hotel rooms and a 200,000 square foot retail, dining
and entertainment complex and is anticipated to be completed in the spring of 2004.



In September 2002, Resorts Atlantic City commenced demolition of one of its towers and is replacing it with a 459 room hotel tower expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2004.



Historically, there has been a shortage of available rooms in
Atlantic City on the weekends during the peak spring and summer seasons and on long holiday weekends in other parts of the year. We believe that the addition of hotel rooms in Atlantic City would benefit the overall Atlantic City market by
increasing patrons visits and perhaps the duration of patrons visits during these peak seasons and weekends. See Business; Seasonality.



In February 2003, in response to state budgetary concerns, the Governor of New Jersey proposed increasing New Jerseys casino gross
revenue tax from 8.0% to 10.0%, to tax complementaries and to impose a 7.0% occupancy tax on hotel rooms. The outcome of this tax proposal is uncertain at this time. The Governor also formed a commission to study allowing video lottery terminals
(popularly called VLTs and which are similar to slot machines) at racetracks as a source of revenue for the state. To the extent that the State of New Jersey increases gaming revenue or other taxes on Atlantic City casinos or allows the
implementation of VLTs at

racetracks, especially at the nearby Meadowlands racetrack, the development plans of Atlantic City operators could change, and anticipated
room expansions may not occur. See Business; Governmental and Gaming Regulations; New Jersey Gaming Regulations; Gross Revenue Tax.



Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland Market



The northwest Indiana and the greater Chicago metropolitan market, known as the Chicagoland market, is the third largest
gaming market in the United States, generating approximately $2.3 billion in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Chicagoland market featured nine casinos, over 1,000 hotel rooms and over 377,000 square feet of
gaming space containing approximately 12,875 slot machines and 416 table games.



From 1997 to 2002, total gaming revenues in the Chicagoland market have increased approximately 49.3%, during which period only two new facilities opened. We believe that the Chicagoland market
possesses some of the most attractive characteristics of any gaming market in the United States, including one of the highest ratios of local population to gaming positions. The Chicagoland market is the third most populated metropolitan area in the
United States. Furthermore, the population and average income in the Chicagoland market rank highest among all United States riverboat gaming markets. Entrance into the market is limited by the fixed number of gaming licenses available in Indiana
and Illinois. Currently, a maximum of 11 licenses are permitted in Indiana, of which 10 have already been issued (five on Lake Michigan, including Trump Indiana, and five on the Ohio River), and a maximum of 10 licenses are permitted in Illinois, of
which nine have been issued. The remaining Indiana license is expected to be granted in the southern portion of the state, and the remaining Illinois license is currently under dispute.



There has been limited casino development and expansion activity in the areas surrounding Trump Indiana. In
February 2002, Harrahs completed construction on a new 293-room luxury hotel at its East Chicago, Indiana property.



Southern California Market



Trump 29 is located in Californias Coachella Valley in Riverside County, near the Palm Springs resort area. The property is located
just off Interstate 10 and enjoys excellent access and visibility from the freeway, with an estimated 27,000 vehicles passing by Trump 29 each day. Riverside County offers Trump 29 a rapidly growing local market, with population having risen over
130% from 1980 to 2000 to reach approximately 1.6 million people. In addition, Coachella is located within 175 miles of Californias three largest metropolitan areas, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, with a combined 2000
population of approximately 15.2 million people.



Competition



Atlantic City



Atlantic City.Competition in the Atlantic City market remains intense. At the present time, there are 11 casino hotels located in Atlantic City which compete with each other on the basis of
customer service and quality and extent of amenities, including each of the Trump Atlantic City Properties. For this reason, substantial capital expenditures are required from time to time to compete effectively. Substantial new expansion and
development activity has recently been completed, is under construction, or has been announced in Atlantic City at other properties, including the development of the Borgata by Boyd Gaming and MGM Mirage, Inc. which is expected to be completed in
the summer of 2003. See Business; The Atlantic City Market.



In addition, we believe that there are several other sites on the boardwalk and in the marina district on which casino hotels could be built in the future, and various applications for casino licenses have been filed and



8

##### Table of Contents

announcements with respect thereto have been made from time to time. There can be no assurance that proposed and future developments and
expansions, especially the Borgata, would not have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. There also can be no assurances that the Atlantic City development projects, which are planned or in process, will be completed. See
Business; The Atlantic City Market.



Native American Tribes.The Trump Atlantic City Properties also face considerable competition from casino facilities in a number of states operated by federally recognized Native American tribes, such as
Foxwoods Resorts Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut and Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut. Pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, or the IGRA, which was passed by Congress in 1988, any state which permits casino-style gaming
(even if only for limited charity purposes) is required to negotiate gaming compacts with federally recognized Native American tribes. Under the IGRA, Native American tribes enjoy comparative freedom from regulation and taxation of gaming
operations, which provides them with an advantage over their competitors, including the Trump Atlantic City Properties.



In addition, Native American nations are seeking federal recognition, land and negotiation of gaming compacts in New York, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and other states near Atlantic City. If successful, there can be no assurance that additional casinos built in or near this portion of the United States would not have a material adverse effect on the business and operations of the Trump
Atlantic City Properties.



New Jersey State
Legislation.In September 2002, the New Jersey State Legislature proposed an amendment to the New Jersey constitution that, if approved, by the citizens of New Jersey in a general election, would permit the legislature to
adopt legislation permitting slot machines at the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, New Jersey. If New Jerseys constitution were to be so amended and such legislation adopted, slot machines at the Meadowlands would compete to some
extent with Atlantic Citys casinos, including the Trump Atlantic City Properties, for gaming patrons.



New York State Legislation.In October 2001, the State of New York, citing a statewide economic crisis
precipitated by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City, passed legislation permitting video lottery terminals at five harness racetracks and further allows the governor to negotiate Class III gaming compacts with Native American
tribes for up to six resort-scale casinos. The legislation allows three tribal resort scale casinos in the Catskills, within 90 minutes of New York City, and the other three in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area. The three Buffalo-Niagara Falls resort
scale casinos would join two existing Indian casinos, the Turning Stone, operated by the Oneida Nation near Syracuse and one owned by the St. Regis Mohawks, near the Canadian Border. A lawsuit was filed in New Yorks Supreme Court in Albany on
January 29, 2002, claiming, among other things, that the legislation violated the provisions of New York States constitution. Competition from these properties, when opened, could have a material adverse effect on the Trump Atlantic City
Properties.



Other
States.Legislation permitting other forms of casino gaming has been proposed, from time to time, in various states, including those bordering the State of New Jersey. Six states have presently legalized riverboat gambling
while others are considering its approval, including the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Several states are considering or have approved large-scale land-based casinos. The business and operations of the Trump Atlantic City
Properties could be adversely affected by such competition, particularly if casino gaming were permitted in jurisdictions near or elsewhere in New Jersey or in other states in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Currently, casino gaming, other than
Native American gaming, is not allowed in other areas of New Jersey or in Connecticut, New York or Pennsylvania. To the extent that legalized gaming becomes more prevalent in New Jersey or other jurisdictions near Atlantic City, competition would
further intensify. In particular, proposals have been introduced to legalize gaming in other locations, including Pennsylvania and Maryland. The legislative proposals in Pennsylvania would allow for a wide range of gaming activities, including
riverboat gaming, slots at racetracks, video lottery terminals at liquor stores and the formation of a gaming commission. Marylands proposed legislation would authorize video lottery terminals at some of Marylands racing facilities. The
results of the 2002 gubernatorial elections in Pennsylvania and Maryland have also increased the likelihood of gaming legislation in such states. We are unable to predict



9

##### Table of Contents

whether any such legislation, in such states or elsewhere, will be enacted or whether, if passed, would have material adverse effect on the
Trump Atlantic City Properties.



Chicagoland



Competition in the Chicagoland market is intense. We believe that competition in the gaming industry, particularly the riverboat and dockside gaming industry, is based on a combination of quality and
location of gaming facilities, the implementation of effective marketing strategies and customer service and satisfaction. Trump Indiana is seeking a competitive advantage primarily based upon its superior location, including its proximity to, and
direct access from Chicago, extensive parking facilities, name recognition, a superior gaming vessel and gaming experience, and targeted marketing strategies. Although we believe that the location of Trump Indiana allows it to compete effectively
with other casinos in the surrounding geographic area, management expects competition in the casino gaming industry to become more intense as casinos are opened and new entrants into the gaming industry become even more operational.



Trump Indiana competes primarily with riverboats and other
casinos in the Chicagoland market. Although northwest Indiana is part of the Chicagoland market, which is one of the most successful new gaming markets in the United States, Trump Indiana may be more dependent on patrons from northwest Indiana than
its Illinois competitors, and the propensity of these patrons to wager cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. In addition to competing with Majestic Stars riverboat at the Buffington Harbor site, Trump Indiana competes with three
other riverboats in the northwest Indiana market. To a lesser degree, Trump Indiana competes with five operating riverboats located in southern Indiana. In addition, a casino opened during 1994 in Windsor, Ontario. In 1997, Detroit approved
land-based casino gaming with a limit of three licenses for the metropolitan area, and selected the operators for the licenses. Two of these land-based casinos opened for operation in 1999 and the third opened in 2000.



At the present time, there are four other riverboats in the
Chicago, Illinois area. In June 1999, the Illinois State Legislature authorized additional gaming facilities to be constructed in Illinois, including authorizing new sites in the Chicagoland area with which Trump Indiana would compete. The Illinois
Legislature also authorized gaming on barges in Illinois. In addition to barge gaming, which facilitates a larger casino floor than a conventional boat, Illinois gaming regulators relaxed ownership hurdles, allowing operators to own more than one
casino in the state. There can be no assurance that Indiana will follow suit in allowing gaming on barges or multiple licenses to current operators.



Southern California



Competition in the Southern California market is also intense. Trump 29 principally competes with other tribal casinos in the Palm Springs
area. At the present time, fifteen tribal casinos are open in the Southern California market, five of which directly compete with Trump 29 and are located within a 45-mile radius from Trump 29, and other Indian tribes may receive approval to engage
in casino gaming. Trump 29s five principal competitors are Fantasy Springs Casino, Agua Caliente, Spa Hotel and Casino, Casino Morongo and Augustine Casino.



Certain Agreements



We are party to certain agreements, some of which are described below. See Executive Compensation; Employment Agreements,
Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Financial ConditionSummary of Companys Public Indebtedness and
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.



Buffington Harbor Joint Venture



In June 1995, Trump Indiana, Inc. acquired approximately 88 acres of land at Buffington Harbor in Gary, Indiana, or the Buffington Harbor Site, for an aggregate purchase price of $13.5 million from the Lehigh Portland



10



---

##### Table of Contents

Cement Company, or Lehigh. Trump Indiana, Inc. also leased certain of Lehighs property adjacent to the Buffington Harbor Site for the
docking of Trump Indianas casino vessel (the Harbor Lease Agreement). Trump Indiana, Inc. contributed the Buffington Harbor Site and its rights under the Harbor Lease Agreement to Buffington Harbor Riverboats, LLC, or BHR, a 50/50 joint
venture between Trump Indiana, Inc. and Majestic Star Casino, LLC, or Majestic Star, in connection with the formation of BHR. Pursuant to Trump Indianas and Majestic Stars joint venture agreement, or the BHR Agreement, BHR owns, develops
and operates all common land-based and waterside operations in support of Trump Indianas and Majestic Stars separate riverboat casinos at Buffington Harbor. Trump Indiana, Inc. and Majestic Star are each equally responsible for the
development and the operating expenses of BHR.



In September 2000, THCR and an affiliate of Majestic Star formed a joint venture, Buffington Harbor Parking Associates, or BHPA, for the purpose of constructing and operating a parking garage (the Indiana Parking Garage). In
September 2000, BHPA acquired approximately 14 additional acres of land (not including the Buffington Harbor Site) previously leased from Lehigh for the construction of the Indiana Parking Garage for an aggregate purchase price of $14.2 million, and
the Harbor Lease Agreement was terminated. The construction of the Indiana Parking Garage commenced in the second quarter of 2001 and was completed in the second quarter of 2002.



BHPA separately leases the Indiana Parking Garage to each of (i) Trump Indiana, Inc. pursuant to a parking
lease, dated June 19, 2001, or the Trump Indiana Garage Lease, and (ii) Majestic Star under a substantially identical lease agreement. The term of the Trump Indiana Garage Lease is until December 31, 2018. The initial rent installment, paid by Trump
Indiana, Inc. upon the execution of the Trump Indiana Garage Lease, was $8.4 million. In addition, Trump Indiana, Inc. is obligated to pay BHPA a monthly rent equal to (i) 50.0% of BHPAs debt service on the $17.1 million financing to
build the Indiana Parking Garage and (ii) 50.0% of any construction costs incurred by BHPA in excess of the net proceeds of the financing. In the event either party defaults on its rental obligations under its respective garage lease with BHPA, the
other party will be obligated to pay rent in an amount sufficient to satisfy 100.0% of BHPAs debt service obligations on the financing.



Casino Services Agreement



We service the Trump Casino Properties and Trump 29 and manage their administrative overhead costs through a casino services agreement,
dated January 1, 1998, as amended, or the Casino Services Agreement, with Trump Administration, a division of Trump Taj Mahal Associates, or Taj Associates, a subsidiary which operates the Trump Taj Mahal. Trump Administration assumed the rights and
responsibilities of the Casino Services Agreement when we merged Trump Casino Services, LLC, or TCS, into Taj Associates in December 2000. Pursuant to the Casino Services Agreement, Trump Administration provides each of our properties with
managerial, financial, accounting, purchasing, legal and other services incidental to running a casino and hotel, collectively referred to as the Casino Services. In return, the properties reimburse Trump Administration, on a ratable
basis, all of the costs and expenses incurred by Trump Administration in providing the Casino Services, including all payroll and employee benefits and related costs associated with the employees utilized by Trump Administration in providing the
Casino Services, as well as all overhead and other expenses incurred in the ordinary course of providing such services. We believe that the Casino Services Agreement allows us to take advantage of economies of scale and realize substantial cost
savings. The Casino Services Agreement expires on January 1, 2008, unless earlier terminated upon 90 days prior written notice.



Marina Lease



Pursuant to Marina Associates agreement with the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry, we operate a 645-boat slip marina
adjacent to Trump Marina (the only property in Atlantic City to have direct marina access). Pursuant to the agreement and a lease entered into in September 1990 with the State of New Jersey, Marina Associates leases the marina and improvements
thereon for an initial term of 25 years. Pursuant to the marina lease, Marina Associates pays annual rent equal to the greater of (i) a certain percentage of Marina Associates



11



---

##### Table of Contents

gross revenues from operating the marina or (ii) a minimum amount ($400,000 in 2002 and which will increase every five years to $500,000 in
2010). In addition, Marina Associates is responsible for all of the costs and expenses related to the premises, including but not limited to, all maintenance and repair costs, insurance premiums, real estate taxes, assessments and utility charges.
Also, any improvements made to the marina (excluding an elevated pedestrian walkway which we constructed and which connects Trump Marina to a two-story building containing a restaurant and retail and office space) automatically becomes the property
of the State of New Jersey upon the termination of the lease.



Trademark License Agreement



Subject to certain restrictions, we have the exclusive world-wide right to use the Trump name and Mr. Trumps likeness in connection with gaming and related activities pursuant to a trademark license agreement,
dated June 12, 1995, and the amendments thereto, between Mr. Trump, as licensor, and THCR, as licensee. Pursuant to the license agreement, we are permitted to use the names Trump, Donald J. Trump and variations thereof,
collectively referred to as the Trump Names, and related intellectual property rights, or the Marks, in connection with casino and gaming activities and related services and products. We, in turn, allow our subsidiaries and
properties to use the Trump Names and Marks under various parol licenses which do not create enforceable licenses. The license agreement, however, does not restrict Mr. Trumps right to use or further license the Trump Names and Marks in
connection with services and products other than casino services and related products.



The term of the license agreement is until the later of: (i) June 2015, (ii) such time as Mr. Trump and his affiliates own less than a 15.0% voting interest in THCR or (iii) such time as Mr. Trump
ceases to be employed or retained by THCR pursuant to an employment, management, consulting or similar services agreement. Upon expiration of the license agreement, Mr. Trump is required to grant THCR a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty free
license to use the casino related trademarks for a reasonable transition period on terms to be agreed upon between us and Mr. Trump. Mr. Trumps obligations under the license agreement are secured by a security agreement, pursuant to which Mr.
Trump has granted THCR a first priority security interest in the Trump Names and the related intellectual property rights for use in connection with casino services, as well as related hotel, bar and restaurant services. See Executive
Compensation; Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements; Donald J. Trump, Executive Compensation; Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation; Trademark License Agreement
and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions; Trademark License Agreement.



Trump 29 Management Agreement



We, through Trump 29 Services, manage and direct all of the day-to-day operations of Trump 29 pursuant to an amended and restated gaming facility management agreement, dated as of March 28, 2002, with
the Tribe and Twenty-Nine Palms. The management agreement was approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission, or the NIGC, on April 15, 2002, commenced on April 16, 2002 and expires on April 16, 2007.



Pursuant to our management agreement with the Tribe, an annual
management fee equal to 30.0% of net revenues of Trump 29 (as defined in the management agreement) is payable to Trump 29 Services for each year of the term. The management fee is payable monthly in arrears. Payment of the monthly management fee is
subordinate to the debt service on Twenty-Nine Palmss bank debt and is payable after certain other monthly priority payments are made or reserve requirements are satisfied, including the payment of operating expenses of Trump 29 (excluding the
management fee) and various debt service reserve requirements required by Twenty-Nine Palms loan agreement. If revenues of Trump 29 are less than the amount necessary to pay any required amount under the management agreement in any given
month, Trump 29 Services is obligated to advance the funds necessary to pay the minimum guaranteed monthly payment to the Tribe.



Twenty-Nine Palms revenues have been pledged to its lenders as security for its bank debt and Trump 29 Services has subordinated its
right to receive management fees to the payment by the Tribe of its bank debt. As a



12



---

##### Table of Contents

result of this pledge and subordination, until the Tribes bank debt is paid in full, Trump 29 Services may not accept or receive any
prepayment of its management fee or accept or receive any payment from the Tribe in respect of the management fee if a default has occurred and is continuing under the Tribes bank debt, or if such payment of the management fee would result in
a default under the Tribes bank debt. Trump 29 Services has also guaranteed Twenty-Nine Palms obligations to its bank lenders up to an amount not to exceed $2.5 million.



On or after May 31, 2005, Twenty-Nine Palms has the right to purchase all of the rights of Trump
29 Services under the management agreement upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment to Trump 29 Services of an early termination fee. Such fee would be equal to one and one-half times the aggregate management fee payable to
Trump 29 Services for the twelve-month period preceding the notice of early termination. If Twenty-Nine Palms were to exercise this right, Trump 29 Services would not generate any further revenues from the management agreement.

Casino Control Commission.    The
ownership and operation of casino/hotel facilities in Atlantic City are the subject of strict state regulation under the Casino Control Act. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission, or the CCC, is empowered to regulate a wide spectrum of gaming and
non-gaming related activities and to approve the form of ownership and financial structure of not only a casino licensee, but also its entity qualifiers and intermediary and holding companies and any other related entity required to be qualified.



Operating
Licenses.    In May 1999, the CCC renewed Marina Associates license to operate Trump Marina through May 2003. In June 1999, the CCC renewed Plaza Associates and Taj Associates (collectively with Marina
Associates, the Trump Atlantic City Licensees) licenses to operate Trump Plaza and Trump Taj Mahal, until June 2003, respectively. Each entity has filed an application for the renewal of its casino license through



13



---

##### Table of Contents

June 2007. The CCC has consolidated the license renewal applications for hearing in late June 2003 and has extended the casino licenses to
operate the Trump Atlantic City Properties through June 30, 2003.



Casino Licenses.    No casino hotel facility may operate unless the appropriate license and approvals are obtained from the CCC, which has broad discretion with regard to the issuance, renewal,
revocation and suspension of such licenses and approvals, which are non-transferable. The qualification criteria with respect to the holder of a casino license include its financial stability, integrity and responsibility; the integrity and adequacy
of its financial resources which bear any relation to the casino project; its good character, honesty and integrity; and the sufficiency of its business ability and casino experience to establish the likelihood of a successful, efficient casino
operation. The casino license currently held by each of Trump Atlantic City Licensees is renewable for periods of up to four years. The CCC may reopen licensing hearings at any time, and must reopen a licensing hearing at the request of the Division
of Gaming Enforcement.



To be considered
financially stable, a licensee must demonstrate the following abilities: to pay winning wagers when due; to achieve an annual gross operating profit; to pay all local, state and federal taxes when due; to make necessary capital and maintenance
expenditures to insure that it has a superior first-class facility; and to pay, exchange, refinance or extend debts which will mature or become due and payable during the license term.



In the event a licensee fails to demonstrate financial stability, the CCC may take such action as it deems
necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Casino Control Act and protect the public interest, including: issuing conditional licenses, approvals or determinations; establishing an appropriate cure period; imposing reporting requirements; placing
restrictions on the transfer of cash or the assumption of liabilities; requiring reasonable reserves or trust accounts; denying licensure; or appointing a conservator.



Pursuant to the Casino Control Act and the regulations and precedent of the CCC, no entity may hold a casino
license unless each officer, director, principal employee, person who directly or indirectly holds any beneficial interest or ownership in the licensee, each person who in the opinion of the CCC has the ability to control or elect a majority of the
board of directors of the licensee (other than a banking or other licensed lending institution which makes a loan or holds a mortgage or other lien acquired in the ordinary course of business) and any lender, underwriter, agent or employee of the
licensee or other person whom the CCC may consider appropriate, obtains and maintains qualification approval from the CCC. Qualification approval means that such person must, but for residence, individually meet the qualification requirements as a
casino key employee.



Management believes that it
has adequate financial resources to meet the financial stability requirements of the Casino Control Act for the foreseeable future.



Control Persons.    An entity qualifier or intermediary or holding company, such as THCR, THCR Holdings and its
subsidiaries: TCH, Trump Marina, Inc., Trump Atlantic City Associates, or Trump AC, Trump Atlantic City Holding, Inc., or Trump AC Holding, and Trump Atlantic City Corporation, or TACC, is required to register with the CCC and meet the same basic
standards for approval as a casino licensee; provided, however, that the CCC, with the concurrence of the Director of the Division of Gaming Enforcement, may waive compliance by a publicly-traded corporate holding company with the requirement that
an officer, director, lender, underwriter, agent or employee thereof, or person directly or indirectly holding a beneficial interest or ownership of the securities thereof, individually qualify for approval under casino key employee standards so
long as the CCC and the Director of the Division of Gaming Enforcement are, and remain, satisfied that such officer, director, lender, underwriter, agent or employee is not significantly involved in the activities of the casino licensee, or that
such security holder does not have the ability to control the publicly-traded corporate holding company or elect one or more of its directors. Persons holding 5.0% or more of the equity securities of such holding company are presumed to have the
ability to control the company or elect one or more of its directors and will, unless this presumption is rebutted, be required to individually qualify. Equity securities are defined as any voting stock or any security similar to or convertible into
or carrying a right to acquire any security having a direct or indirect participation in the profits of the issuer.

Financial
Sources.    The CCC may require all financial backers, investors, mortgagees, bond holders and holders of notes or other evidence of indebtedness, either in effect or proposed, which bear any relation to any casino project,
including holders of publicly-traded securities of an entity which holds a casino license or is an entity qualifier, subsidiary or holding company of a casino licensee, to qualify as financial sources. In the past, the CCC has waived the
qualification requirement for holders of less than 15.0% of a series of publicly-traded mortgage bonds so long as the bonds remained widely distributed and freely traded in the public market and the holder had no ability to control the casino
licensee. The CCC may require holders of less than 15.0% of a series of debt to qualify as financial sources even if not active in the management of the issuer or casino licensee.



Institutional Investors.    An institutional investor is defined by the Casino
Control Act as any retirement fund administered by a public agency for the exclusive benefit of federal, state or local public employees; any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; any collective
investment trust organized by banks under Part Nine of the Rules of the Comptroller of the Currency; any closed end investment trust; any chartered or licensed life insurance company or property and casualty insurance company; any banking and other
chartered or licensed lending institution; any investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended; and such other persons as the CCC may determine for reasons consistent with the policies of the Casino Control Act.



An institutional investor may be granted a
waiver by the CCC from financial source or other qualification requirements applicable to a holder of publicly-traded securities, in the absence of a prima facie showing by the Division of Gaming Enforcement that there is any cause to believe that
the holder may be found unqualified, on the basis of the CCCs findings that: (i) its holdings were purchased for investment purposes only and, upon request by the CCC, it files a certified statement to the effect that it has no intention of
influencing or affecting the affairs of the issuer, the casino licensee or its holding or intermediary companies; provided, however, that the institutional investor will be permitted to vote on matters put to the vote of the outstanding security
holders; and (ii) if (x) the securities are debt securities of a casino licensees holding or intermediary companies or another subsidiary company of the casino licensees holding or intermediary companies which is related in any way to
the financing of the casino licensee and represent either (A) 20.0% or less of the total outstanding debt of the company or (B) 50.0% or less of any issue of outstanding debt of the company, (y) the securities are equity securities and represent
less than 10.0% of the equity securities of a casino licensees holding or intermediary companies or (z) the securities so held exceed such percentages, upon a showing of good cause. There can be no assurance, however, that the CCC will make
such findings or grant such waiver and, in any event, an institutional investor may be required to produce for the CCC or the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice upon request, any document or information which bears any relation to such
debt or equity securities.



Generally, the CCC
requires each institutional holder seeking waiver of qualification to execute a certification to the effect that (i) the holder has reviewed the definition of Institutional Investor under the Casino Control Act and believes that it meets the
definition of Institutional Investor; (ii) the holder purchased the securities for investment purposes only and holds them in the ordinary course of business; (iii) the holder has no involvement in the business activities of and no intention of
influencing or affecting, the affairs of the issuer, the casino licensee or any affiliate; and (iv) if the holder subsequently determines to influence or affect the affairs of the issuer, the casino licensee or any affiliate, it shall provide not
less than 30 days prior notice of such intent and shall file with the CCC an application for qualification before taking any such action. If an Institutional Investor changes its investment intent, or if the CCC finds reasonable cause to
believe that it may be found unqualified, the Institutional Investor may take no action with respect to the security holdings, other than to divest itself of such holdings, until it has applied for interim casino authorization and has executed a
trust agreement pursuant to such an application. See Interim Casino Authorization.



Ownership and Transfer of Securities.    The Casino Control Act imposes certain restrictions upon the issuance,
ownership and transfer of securities of a regulated company and defines the term security to include instruments which evidence a direct or indirect beneficial ownership or creditor interest in a regulated company including, but not
limited to, mortgages, debentures, security agreements, notes and warrants. Each of the Trump

##### Table of Contents

Atlantic City Licensees, Trump AC, Trump AC Holding, Trump Marina, Inc., THCR Holdings, THCR and TCH is deemed to be a regulated company, and
instruments evidencing a beneficial ownership or creditor interest therein, including a partnership interest, are deemed to be the securities of a regulated company.



If the CCC finds that a holder of such securities is not qualified under the Casino Control Act, it has the
right to take any remedial action it may deem appropriate, including the right to force divestiture by such disqualified holder of such securities. In the event that certain disqualified holders fail to divest themselves of such securities, the CCC
has the power to revoke or suspend the casino license affiliated with the regulated company which issued the securities. If a holder is found unqualified, it is unlawful for the holder (i) to exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any
right conferred by such securities or (ii) to receive any dividends or interest upon such securities or any remuneration, in any form, from its affiliated casino licensee for services rendered or otherwise.



With respect to non-publicly-traded securities, the Casino
Control Act and regulations of the CCC require that the corporate charter or partnership agreement of a regulated company establish a right in the CCC of prior approval with regard to transfers of securities, shares and other interests and an
absolute right in the regulated company to repurchase at the market price or the purchase price, whichever is the lesser, any such security, share or other interest in the event that the CCC disapproves a transfer. With respect to publicly-traded
securities, such corporate charter or partnership agreement is required to establish that any such securities of the entity are held subject to the condition that if a holder thereof is found to be disqualified by the CCC, such holder shall dispose
of such securities.



Under the terms of the
indentures governing the TCH Notes and TAC Notes, if a holder of the TCH Notes or TAC Notes, as the case may be, does not qualify under the Casino Control Act when required to do so, such holder must dispose of its interest in such securities, and
the respective Issuer or Issuers of such securities may redeem the securities at the lesser of the outstanding amount or fair market value.



Interim Casino Authorization.    Interim casino authorization is a process which permits a person who enters
into a contract to obtain property relating to a casino operation or who obtains publicly-traded securities relating to a casino licensee to close on the contract or own the securities until plenary licensure or qualification. During the period of
interim casino authorization, the property relating to the casino operation or the securities is held in trust.



Whenever any person enters into a contract to transfer any property, which relates to an ongoing casino operation, including a security of
the casino licensee or a holding or intermediary company or entity qualifier, under circumstances which would require that the transferee obtain licensure or be qualified under the Casino Control Act, and that person is not already licensed or
qualified, the transferee is required to apply for interim casino authorization. Furthermore, except as set forth below with respect to publicly-traded securities, the closing or settlement date in the contract at issue may not be earlier than the
121stday after the submission of a complete application for licensure or qualification together with a fully
executed trust agreement in a form approved by the CCC. If, after the report of the Division and a hearing by the CCC, the CCC grants interim authorization, the property will be subject to a trust. If the CCC denies interim authorization, the
contract may not close or settle until the CCC makes a determination on the qualifications of the applicant. If the CCC denies qualification, the contract will be terminated for all purposes and there will be no liability on the part of the
transferor.



If, as a result of a transfer of
publicly-traded securities of a licensee, a holding or intermediary company or entity qualifier of a licensee, or a financing entity of a licensee, any person is required to qualify under the Casino Control Act, that person is required to file an
application for licensure or qualification within 30 days after the CCC determines that qualification is required or declines to waive qualification. The application must include a fully executed trust agreement in a form approved by the CCC or, in
the alternative, within 120 days after the CCC determines that qualification is required, the person whose qualification is required must divest such securities as the CCC may require in order to remove the need to qualify.

The CCC may
grant interim casino authorization where it finds by clear and convincing evidence that: (i) statements of compliance have been issued pursuant to the Casino Control Act; (ii) the casino hotel is an approved hotel in accordance with the Casino
Control Act; (iii) the trustee satisfies qualification criteria applicable to key casino employees, except for residency; and (iv) interim operation will best serve the interests of the public.



When the CCC finds the applicant qualified, the trust will
terminate. If the CCC denies qualification to a person who has received interim casino authorization, the trustee is required to endeavor, and is authorized, to sell, assign, convey or otherwise dispose of the property subject to the trust to such
persons who are licensed or qualified or shall themselves obtain interim casino authorization.



Where the holder of publicly-traded securities is required, in applying for qualification as a financial source or qualifier, to transfer such securities to a trust in application for interim casino
authorization and the CCC thereafter orders that the trust become operative: (i) during the time the trust is operative, the holder may not participate in the earnings of the casino hotel or receive any return on its investment or debt security
holdings; and (ii) after disposition, if any, of the securities by the trustee, proceeds distributed to the unqualified holder may not exceed the lower of their actual cost to the unqualified holder or their value calculated as if the investment had
been made on the date the trust became operative.



Approved Hotel Facilities.    The CCC may permit an existing licensee, such as one of the Trump Atlantic City Properties, to increase its casino space if the licensee agrees to add a prescribed number of
qualifying sleeping units within two years after the commencement of gaming operations in the additional casino space. However, if the casino licensee does not fulfill such agreement due to conditions within its control, the licensee will be
required to close the additional casino space, or any portion thereof that the CCC determines should be closed.



Persons who are parties to the lease for an approved hotel building or who have an agreement to lease a building which may in the judgment
of the CCC become an approved hotel building are required to hold a casino license unless the CCC, with the concurrence of the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey, determines that such persons do not have the ability to exercise significant
control over the building or the operation of the casino therein.



Unless otherwise determined by the CCC, agreements to lease an approved hotel building or the land under the building must be for a term exceeding 30 years, must concern 100.0% of the entire approved hotel building or the
land upon which it is located and must include a buy-out provision conferring upon the lessee the absolute right to purchase the lessors entire interest for a fixed sum in the event that the lessor is found by the CCC to be unsuitable.



Agreement for Management of
Casino.    Each party to an agreement for the management of a casino is required to hold a casino license, and the party who is to manage the casino must own at least 10.0% of all the outstanding equity securities of the
casino licensee. Such an agreement shall: (i) provide for the complete management of the casino; (ii) provide for the unrestricted power to direct the casino operations; and (iii) provide for a term long enough to ensure the reasonable continuity,
stability and independence and management of the casino.



License Fees.    The CCC is authorized to establish annual fees for the renewal of casino licenses. The renewal fee is based upon the cost of maintaining control and regulatory activities prescribed by the
Casino Control Act, and may not be less than $200,000 for a four-year casino license. Additionally, casino licensees are subject to potential assessments to fund any annual operating deficits incurred by the CCC or the Division of Gaming
Enforcement. There is also an annual license fee of $500 for each slot machine maintained for use or in use in any casino.

Gross
Revenue Tax.    Each casino licensee is currently required to pay an annual tax of 8.0% on its gross casino revenues. The table below sets forth each Trump Atlantic City Licensees gross revenue tax and license,

On July
3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Business Tax Reform Act which, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carry forwards for two years and the introduction of a new alternative
minimum assessment under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits.



In February 2003, in response to state budgetary concerns, the Governor of New Jersey proposed increasing New Jerseys casino gross
revenue tax from 8.0% to 10.0%, to tax complimentaries and to impose a 7.0% occupancy tax on hotel rooms. The outcome of this tax proposal is uncertain at this time. See Business; The Atlantic City Market.



Investment Alternative Tax
Obligations.    An investment alternative tax imposed on the gross casino revenues of each licensee in the amount of 2.5% is due and payable on the last day of April following the end of the calendar year. A licensee is
obligated to pay the investment alternative tax for a period of 35 years. Estimated payments of the investment alternative tax obligation must be made quarterly in an amount equal to 1.25% of estimated gross revenues for the preceding three-month
period. Investment tax credits may be obtained by making qualified investments or by the purchase of bonds issued by the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. Such bonds may have terms as long as 50 years and bear interest at below
market rates, resulting in a value lower than the face value of such bonds.



For the first 10 years of its tax obligation, the licensee is entitled to an investment tax credit against the investment alternative tax in an amount equal to twice the purchase price of such bonds
issued to the licensee. Thereafter, the licensee (i) is entitled to an investment tax credit in an amount equal to twice the purchase price of such bonds or twice the amount of its investments authorized in lieu of such bond investments or made in
projects designated as eligible by the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and (ii) has the option of entering into a contract with the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to have its tax credit comprised of direct
investments in approved eligible projects which may not comprise more than 50.0% of its eligible tax credit in any one year.



From the monies made available to the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, it is required to set aside $175.0 million for
investment in hotel development projects in Atlantic City undertaken by a licensee which result in the construction or rehabilitation of at least 200 hotel rooms. These monies will be held to fund up to 27.0% of the cost to casino licensees of
expanding their hotel facilities to provide additional hotel rooms, a portion of which has been required to be available with respect to the new Atlantic City Convention Center.

Minimum
Casino Parking Charges.    As of July 1, 1993, each casino licensee is required to pay the New Jersey State Treasurer a $1.50 charge for every use of a parking space for the purpose of parking motor vehicles in a parking
facility owned or leased by a casino licensee or by an person on behalf of a casino licensee. This amount is paid into a special fund established and held by the New Jersey State Treasurer for the exclusive use of the CRDA. Plaza Associates and Taj
Associates currently charge their parking patrons $2.00 in order to make their required payments to the New Jersey State Treasurer and cover related expenses. Amounts in the special fund will be expended by the CRDA for eligible projects in the
corridor region of Atlantic City related to improving the highways, roads, infrastructure, traffic regulation and public safety of Atlantic City or otherwise necessary or useful to the economic development and redevelopment of Atlantic City in this
regard.



Atlantic City
Fund.    On each October 31st during the years 1996 through 2003, each casino licensee shall pay into an account established in the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and known as the Atlantic City Fund, its
proportional share of an amount related to the amount by which annual operating expenses of the CCC and the Division of Gaming Enforcement are less than a certain fixed sum. Additionally, a portion of the investment alternative tax obligation of
each casino licensee for the years 1994 through 1998 allocated for projects in northern New Jersey shall be paid into and credited to the Atlantic City Fund. Amounts in the Atlantic City Fund will be expended by the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment
Development Authority for economic development projects of a revenue-producing nature that foster the redevelopment of Atlantic City other than the construction and renovation of casino hotels.



Conservatorship.    If, at any
time, it is determined that any licensee or any other entity qualifier has violated the Casino Control Act or that any of such entities cannot meet the qualification requirements of the Casino Control Act, such entity could be subject to fines or
the suspension or revocation of its license or qualification. If a casino license is suspended for a period in excess of 120 days or is revoked, or if the CCC fails or refuses to renew such casino license, the CCC could appoint a conservator to
operate and dispose of such licensees casino hotel facilities. A conservator would be vested with title to all property of such licensee relating to the casino and the approved hotel subject to valid liens and/or encumbrances. The conservator
would be required to act under the direct supervision of the CCC and would be charged with the duty of conserving, preserving and, if permitted, continuing the operation of the casino hotel. During the period of the conservatorship, a former or
suspended casino licensee is entitled to a fair rate of return out of net earnings, if any, on the property retained by the conservator. The CCC may also discontinue any conservatorship action and direct the conservator to take such steps as are
necessary to effect an orderly transfer of the property of a former or suspended casino licensee. Such events could result in an event of default under the terms of the indentures governing the TAC Notes and the TCH Notes.



Qualification of
Employees.    Certain or our employees must be licensed by or registered with the CCC, depending on the nature of the position held. Casino employees are subject to more stringent requirements than non-casino employees and
must meet applicable standards pertaining to financial stability, integrity and responsibility, good character, honesty and integrity, business ability and casino experience and New Jersey residency. These requirements have resulted in significant
competition among Atlantic City casino operators for the services of qualified employees.



Gaming Credit.    The casino games at the Trump Atlantic City Properties are conducted on a credit as well as cash basis. Gaming debts arising in Atlantic City in accordance
with applicable regulations are enforceable in the courts of the state of New Jersey. The extension of gaming credit is subject to regulations that detail procedures which casinos must follow when granting gaming credit and recording counter checks
which have been exchanged, redeemed or consolidated. Gaming credit may not be collectible in foreign countries.



Control Procedures.    Gaming at the Trump Atlantic City Properties is conducted by trained and supervised
personnel. We employ extensive security and internal controls. Security checks are made to determine, among other matters, that job applicants for key positions have had no criminal history or associations. Security controls utilized by the
surveillance department include closed circuit video cameras to monitor the casino floor and money counting areas. The count of moneys from gaming also is observed daily by representatives of the CCC.

Indiana
Gaming Regulations



Indiana Gaming
Commission.    The ownership and operation of riverboat gaming operations in Indiana are subject to strict state regulation under the Riverboat Gambling Act and the administrative rules promulgated thereunder. Under the
Riverboat Gambling Act, all games typically available in Atlantic City casinos are permitted on Trump Indiana. The riverboat casinos in Indiana are permitted to stay open 21 hours per day, 365 days per year and to extend credit and accept credit
cards with no loss or wagering limits. The Indiana Gaming Commission, or the IGC, is empowered to administer, regulate and enforce the system of riverboat gaming established under the Riverboat Gambling Act and has jurisdiction and supervision over
all riverboat gaming operations in Indiana, as well as all persons on riverboats where gaming operations are conducted. The IGC is empowered to regulate a wide variety of gaming and non-gaming related activities, including the licensing of suppliers
to, and employees at, riverboat gaming operations and to approve the form of ownership and financial structure of not only riverboat owner and supplier licensees, but also their entity qualifiers and intermediary and holding companies. The IGC has
adopted certain final rules and has published others in proposed or draft form which have proceeded through the review and final adoption process. The IGC also has indicated its intent to publish additional proposed rules in the future. The IGC has
broad rulemaking power, and it is impossible to predict what effect, if any, the amendment of existing rules or the finalization of currently proposed rules might have on the operations of Trump Indiana or THCR. The following reflects both adopted
and proposed regulations. Further, the Indiana General Assembly has the power to promulgate new laws and implement amendments to the Riverboat Gambling Act, which could materially affect the operations or economic viability of the gaming industry in
Indiana.



Riverboat Owners
License.    The operation of a gaming riverboat in Indiana is subject to the Riverboat Gambling Act and the administrative rules promulgated thereunder. In June 1996, the IGC granted Trump Indiana, Inc. a riverboat
owners license, which in June 2002 was renewed to June 2003. We have timely filed an application with the IGC regarding the renewal of Trump Indiana, Inc.s riverboat owners license.



Transfer of Riverboat Owners
License.    Pursuant to IGC proposed rules, an ownership interest in a riverboat owners license shall not be transferred unless the transfer complies with applicable rules, and no riverboat gaming operation may operate
unless the appropriate licenses and approvals are obtained from the IGC. Under current Indiana law, a maximum of 10 riverboat owners licenses may be in effect at any given time. No person or entity may simultaneously own an interest in more
than two riverboat owners licenses. A person or entity may simultaneously own up to 100.0% in one riverboat owners license and no more than 10.0% in a second riverboat owners license.



A riverboat owners licensee must possess a level of
skill, experience, or knowledge necessary to conduct a riverboat gaming operation that will have a positive economic impact on the host site, as well as the entire state of Indiana. Additional representative, but not exclusive, qualification
criteria with respect to the holder of a riverboat owners license include character, reputation, financial integrity, the facilities or proposed facilities for the conduct of riverboat gaming including related non-gaming projects such as hotel
development, and the good faith affirmative action plan to recruit, train and upgrade minorities and women in all employment classifications. The IGC shall require persons holding riverboat owners licenses to adopt policies concerning the
preferential hiring of residents of the city in which the riverboat docks for riverboat jobs. The IGC has broad discretion in regard to the issuance, renewal, revocation and suspension of licenses and approvals, and the IGC is empowered to regulate
a wide variety of gaming and non-gaming related activities, including the licensing of suppliers to, and employees at, riverboat gaming operations, and to approve the form of ownership and financial structure of not only riverboat owner and supplier
licensees, but also their subsidiaries and affiliates.



A riverboat owners licensee or any other person may not lease, hypothecate, borrow money against or loan money against a riverboat owners license. An ownership interest in a riverboat owners license may only be
transferred in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Riverboat Gambling Act. An applicant for the approval of a transfer of a riverboat owners license must comply with application procedures prescribed by

##### Table of Contents

the IGC, present evidence that it meets or possesses the standards, qualifications and other criteria under Indiana gaming laws, that it
meets all requirements for a riverboat owners license, and that it pay an investigative fee in the amount of $50,000 with the application. If the IGC denies the application to transfer an ownership interest, it shall issue notice of denial to
the applicant, and, unless specifically stated to the contrary, a notice of denial of an application for transfer shall not constitute a finding that the applicant is not suitable for licensure. A person who is served with notice of denial under
this rule may request an administrative hearing.



Control Persons and Operational Matters.    The IGC has implemented strict regulations with respect to the suitability of the riverboat owners licensee, their key personnel and their employees similar
to the regulations and precedent of the CCC. The IGC utilizes a class-based licensing structure that subjects all individuals associated with Trump Indiana, Inc. to varying degrees of background investigations. Likewise, comprehensive
security measures, including video surveillance by both random and fixed cameras, are required in the casino and money counting areas. Additionally, the IGC has delineated procedures for the reconciliation of the daily revenues and tax remittance to
the state as further detailed below.



Tax.    Under Indiana gaming law, a tax is imposed on admissions to gaming excursions. In June 2002, the Indiana legislature enacted legislation which changed the admissions tax rate from $3.00 per person
per cruise to $3.00 per person. This admission tax is imposed upon the riverboat owners licensee conducting the gaming excursion on a per-person basis without regard to the actual fee paid by the person using the ticket, with the exception
that no tax shall be paid by admittees who are actual and necessary officials, employees of the licensee or other persons actually working on the riverboat. The IGC may suspend or revoke the license of a riverboat owners licensee that does not
submit the payment or the tax return form regarding admission tax within the required time established by the IGC. Since Trump Indiana shares its berthing site with Majestic Star, the IGC authorized us to operate a joint turnstile. Trump Indiana and
Majestic Star are each responsible to pay one-half of the admissions tax owed for guests using the joint turnstile.



A tax is imposed on the adjusted gross receipts received from gaming authorized under the Riverboat Gambling Act. Effective July 1, 2002,
recent legislation increased the tax rate from 20.0% to 22.5%. Adjusted gross receipts is defined as the total of all cash and property (including checks received by a licensee), whether collected or not, received by a licensee from gaming
operations less the total of all cash paid out as winnings to patrons including a provision for uncollectible gaming receivables as is further set forth in the Riverboat Gambling Act.



In addition, pursuant to the legislation passed in June 2002, casinos are permitted to convert to dockside
operations. If a casino elects to become a dockside operation, the gaming tax structure changes from a flat rate of 22.5% to a graduated scale as follows:



| |  |  | 15% on gaming revenue from $0 to $25 million based on the states fiscal year (July 1-June 30);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 20% on gaming revenue over $25 million but less than $50 million;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 25% on gaming revenue over $50 million but less than $75 million;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

All riverboat casinos in Indiana, including Trump Indiana, converted their operations from cruising to dockside in August 2002.



The impact of the increase in the gaming tax
rate in Indiana is partially mitigated by a change in the methodology for determining the amount of admission tax payable by gaming patrons, which changes from charging the tax per patron per cruise to a single per admission charge per patron.



The legislation passed in June 2002 also created
the Indiana Department of Gaming Research and each riverboat and racetrack is required to pay a $25,000 yearly fee to fund this department.



In addition to the Indiana tax requirements, a similar payment on adjusted gross receipts is payable to the City of Gary at a rate of 4.0%
pursuant to the Development Agreement.

Restricted
Transactions.    Under proposed IGC rules, no riverboat owners licensee or riverboat license applicant may enter into or perform any contract or transaction in which it transfers or receives consideration which is not
commercially reasonable or which does not reflect the fair market value of the goods or services rendered or received as determined at the time the contract is executed. Any contract entered into by a riverboat licensee or riverboat license
applicant that exceeds the total dollar amount of $50,000 shall be a written contract. A riverboat license applicant means an applicant for a riverboat owners license that has been issued a certificate of suitability.



Pursuant to IGCs proposed rules, riverboat licensees and
riverboat license applicants must submit an internal control procedure regarding purchasing transactions which must contain provisions regarding ethical standards, compliance with state and federal laws, and prohibitions on the acceptance of gifts
and gratuities by purchasing and contracting personnel from suppliers of goods or services. The proposed rules also require any riverboat licensee or applicant to submit any contract, transaction, or series of transactions greater than $500,000 in
any twelve-month period to the IGC within 10 days of the execution, and to submit a summary of all contracts or transactions greater than $50,000 in any 12-month period on a quarterly basis. The proposed rules provide that contracts submitted to the
IGC are not submitted for approval by the IGC, but grant the IGC authority to cancel or terminate any contract not in compliance with Indiana law and the IGC rules.



A riverboat licensee or affiliate may not enter into a debt transaction in excess of $1 million without the
prior approval of the IGC. A debt transaction is any transaction that will result in the encumbrance of assets. Unless waived, approval of debt transactions requires consideration by the IGC at two business meetings.



Finance.    Pursuant to IGC rules,
any person (other than an institutional investor) acquiring 5.0% or more of any class of voting securities of a publicly-traded corporation that owns a riverboat owners license or 5.0% or more of the beneficial interest in a riverboat
licensee, directly or indirectly, through any class of the voting securities of any holding or intermediary company of a riverboat licensee shall apply to the IGC for a finding of suitability within 45 days after acquiring the securities. Each
institutional investor who, individually or in association with others, acquires, directly or indirectly, 5.0% or more of any class of voting securities of a publicly-traded corporation that owns a riverboat owners license or 5.0% or more of
the beneficial interest in a riverboat licensee through any class of the voting securities of any holding or intermediary company of a riverboat licensee shall notify the IGC within 10 days after the institutional investor acquires the securities
and shall provide additional information and may be subject to a finding of suitability as required by the IGC.



Under IGC rules, an institutional investor who would otherwise be subject to a suitability finding shall, within 45 days after acquiring
the interests, submit the following information: (i) a description of the institutional investors business and a statement as to why the institutional investor satisfies the definitional requirements of an institutional investor under Indiana
gaming rule requirements; (ii) a certification made under oath that the voting securities were acquired and are held for investment purposes only and were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business as an institutional investor; (iii)
the name, address, telephone number and the social security number or federal tax identification number of each person who has the power to direct or control the institutional investors exercise of its voting rights as a holder of voting
securities of the riverboat licensee; (iv) the name of each person who beneficially owns 5.0% or more of the institutional investors voting securities or equivalent; (v) a list of the institutional investors affiliates; (vi) a list
of all securities of the riverboat licensee that are or were beneficially owned by the institutional investor or its affiliates within the preceding one year; (vii) a disclosure of all criminal and regulatory sanctions imposed during the preceding
10 years; (viii) a copy of any filing made under 16 U.S.C. Section 18(a); and (ix) any other additional information the IGC may request to ensure compliance with Indiana gaming laws.



Each institutional investor who, individually or in association with others, acquires, directly or
indirectly, the beneficial ownership of 15.0% or more of any class of voting securities of a publicly-traded corporation that owns a riverboat owners license or 15.0% or more of the beneficial interest in a riverboat licensee through any class
of voting securities of any holding company or intermediary company of a riverboat licensee shall apply to the IGC for a finding of suitability within 45 days after acquiring the securities.

Under IGC
rules, an institutional investor means any of the following: (i) a retirement fund administered by a public agency for the exclusive benefit of federal, state, or local public employees; (ii) an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended; (iii) a collective investment trust organized by banks under Part 9 of the Rules of the Comptroller of the Currency; (iv) a closed end investment trust; (v) a chartered or licensed life insurance company or property
and casualty insurance company; (v) a banking, chartered or licensed lending institution; (vi) an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended; and (vi) any other entity the IGC determines constitutes an
institutional investor. The IGC may in the future promulgate regulations with respect to the qualification of other financial backers, mortgagees, bond holders, holders of indentures, or other financial contributors.



Minority and Women Business
Participation.    The Riverboat Gambling Act places special emphasis on minority and women business enterprise participation in the riverboat industry. Riverboat licensees must establish goals of expending ten percent of the
total dollars spent on the majority of goods and services with minority business enterprises and five percent with women business enterprises. Riverboat licensees may be subject to a disciplinary action for failure to meet the minority and women
business enterprise expenditure goals.



Indiana Gaming Commission Action.    All licensees subject to the jurisdiction of the IGC have a continuing duty to maintain suitability for licensure. The IGC may initiate an investigation or disciplinary
action or both against a licensee whom the commission has reason to believe is not maintaining suitability for licensure, is not complying with licensure conditions, and/or is not complying with Indiana gaming laws or regulations. The IGC may
suspend, revoke, restrict, or place conditions on the license of a licensee; require the removal of a licensee or an employee of a licensee; impose a civil penalty or take any other action deemed necessary by the IGC to insure compliance with
Indiana gaming laws.



Indian Gaming
Regulations



General.    We and the Tribe are subject to federal, tribal and certain state laws applicable to commercial relationships with Indian tribes, Indian gaming and the management and financing of Indian
casinos. In addition, our gaming operations are regulated by federal and certain state laws applicable to the gaming industry and to the distribution of gaming equipment. The following description of the regulatory environment is only a summary and
not a complete recitation of all applicable law. Moreover, since this gaming regulatory environment is particularly susceptible to interpretation and change as the result of public policy considerations, it is impossible to predict how certain
provisions of applicable laws will be interpreted in the future or whether and how they will be modified. Unexpected interpretations of, or changes in, applicable law could have a material adverse impact on our operations.



Tribal Law and Legal Systems



Tribal Law; Applicability of State and Federal
Law.    Federally recognized Indian tribes are independent governments, subordinate to the United States, with sovereign powers. As sovereign entities, Indian tribes enact their own laws and maintain their own governmental
systems, often including their own judicial systems. Indian tribes have the right to tax persons and enterprises conducting business on Indian lands, and also have the right to require licenses and to impose other forms of regulation and regulatory
fees on persons and businesses operating on their lands.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indian tribes are subject to many federal laws and, under limited circumstances, to certain state laws. The U.S. Constitution entrusts the U.S. Congress with the power to promulgate laws regulating
Indian affairs. While principles of federalism and sovereignty make state laws generally inapplicable to Indian tribes, Congress has the power to subject tribes to state and federal law, and to waive a tribes sovereign immunity as it deems
necessary. Trump 29 Services management agreement with the Tribe includes a limited waiver of sovereign immunity whereby the Tribe consents to Trump 29 Services enforcement of arbitration awards in federal court or, if federal court
declines to exercise jurisdiction, in the California State Courts.

Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988



Regulatory
Authority.    The operation of all casinos and other forms of gaming on Indian lands is subject to IGRA. IGRA is administered by the NIGC, an independent agency within the U.S. Department of Interior, exercising primary
federal regulatory responsibility for Indian gaming. The NIGC has the exclusive federal authority to issue regulations governing tribal gaming activities, approve tribal ordinances regulating class II and class III gaming (as described below), and
approve management agreements for gaming facilities. The NIGC also has authority to conduct investigations and generally monitor tribal gaming. The NIGC is empowered to inspect and audit all Indian gaming facilities, conduct background checks on all
persons associated with class II or class III Indian gaming, hold hearings, issue subpoenas, take depositions, adopt regulations and assess fees and impose civil penalties for IGRA violations. Criminal enforcement of IGRA is the exclusive
responsibility of the United States Department of Justice, except to the extent such enforcement responsibility is shared with the State of California under the compacts and, with respect to crimes committed by tribal members, retained by the Tribe.



Tribal
Ordinances.    Under IGRA, except to the extent otherwise provided in a tribal-state gaming compact, Indian tribal governments have primary regulatory authority over class III gaming on land within a tribes
jurisdiction. Therefore, gaming operations, and all persons engaged in gaming activities at the gaming facilities, are guided by and subject to the provisions of the Tribes ordinances and regulations regarding gaming. However, IGRA requires
that the NIGC review tribal gaming ordinances and authorizes the NIGC to approve such ordinances only if they meet certain requirements relating to:



| |  |  | the ownership, security, personnel background, record-keeping and auditing of a tribes gaming enterprises;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the use of the revenues from such gaming operations; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the protection of the environment and the public health and safety.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



The Tribe adopted its tribal gaming ordinance in November 1993 and the NIGC approved the tribal gaming
ordinance in April 1994.



Classes of
Gaming.    IGRA classifies gaming activities that Indians may conduct on their tribal lands into three categories. Class I gaming includes social games solely for prizes of minimal value or traditional forms of Indian gaming
engaged in by individuals as part of, or in connection with, tribal ceremonies or celebrations. Class II gaming includes bingo, pulltabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, certain non-banked card games (if such games are played legally elsewhere in the
state), instant bingo and certain other games similar to bingo, if those games are played at the same location in which bingo is played. Class III gaming includes all other forms of gaming, such as slot machines, video casino games (e.g., video
slots, video black jack and video poker), so-called table games (e.g., blackjack, craps, roulette) and other commercial gaming (e.g., sports betting and pari-mutual wagering).



Only class II and class III gaming is subject to IGRA. Class I gaming is within the exclusive jurisdiction of
Indian tribes. IGRA permits class II gaming on Indian lands if, among other things:



| |  |  | such gaming is not otherwise specifically prohibited on Indian lands by federal law;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such gaming is conducted in accordance with a tribal ordinance or resolution that has been approved by the NIGC;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an Indian tribe has sole proprietary interest and responsibility for the conduct of gaming; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the primary management officials and key employees are tribally licensed.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



IGRA permits class III gaming if the conditions applicable to class II gaming are met and such gaming is
conducted in conformity with the terms of a tribal-state gaming compact (a written agreement between the tribal government and the government of the state within whose boundaries the tribes lands lie).

##### Table of Contents



Tribal-State Gaming Compacts.    IGRA requires states to negotiate in good faith with Indian tribes that seek to enter into tribal-state gaming compacts to conduct class III gaming. Such compacts may
include provisions for the allocation of criminal and civil jurisdiction between the state and the Indian tribe necessary for the enforcement of applicable laws and regulations, taxation of the gaming activities by the tribe in amounts comparable to
those amounts assessed by the state for comparable activities, remedies for breach of the compact, standards for the operation of gaming and maintenance of the gaming facility, including licensing, and any other subjects that are directly related to
the operation of gaming activities. While the terms of these compacts vary from state-to-state, compacts within one state usually are substantially similar. Compacts usually specify the types of gaming permitted, establish technical standards for
video gaming machines, set maximum and minimum machine payout percentages, entitle the state to inspect casinos, require background investigations and the licensing of casino employees and may require the tribe to pay a portion of the states
expense for establishing and maintaining regulatory agencies. Some compacts are for set terms, while others are for an indefinite duration.



As with the other tribal-state gaming compacts in California, the Tribes compact with the State requires that the Tribe be subject
to Californias workers compensation (unless the Tribe develops its own ordinances regarding workers compensation), labor and unemployment and disability compensation laws, federal occupational health and safety and discrimination
laws, and county building and safety codes and standards. The Tribes compact also requires the Tribe to make reasonable provisions for adequate emergency, fire, medical and related relief and disaster services for its gaming patrons and
employees, and to consider the off-reservation environmental impacts of its casino development.



In addition, under the terms of its compact, the Tribe was required to adopt a labor relations ordinance which provides that eligible employees, have, among other things, the right to
self-organization, to bargain collectively through representatives of their choosing, and the right to refrain from any such activities. The labor relations ordinance also prohibits the Tribe from interfering with these rights and requires, among
other things, the Tribe to provide any unions access to the facility for the purpose of organizing employees as long as that access does not interfere with normal operations.



California Constitution



On March 7, 2000, California voters approved Proposition 1A which amended the California Constitution to
exempt Indian gaming in California from the constitutional provision prohibiting Nevada-style casino gaming in California. The Amendment also authorized the Governor to negotiate and execute tribal-state gaming compacts for the operation of slot
machines and for the conduct of lottery games and banking and percentage card games by federally recognized Indian tribes on Indian land in California. Subsequently, California has entered into compacts with 61 tribes (including the Tribe).



Licensing and Registration Requirements of
the Compact and State Regulation



In
California, licensing and registration requirements for tribal financing sources are governed by the compact and by regulations adopted by the California Gambling Control Commission and the Tribal Gaming Authority.



Compact.    The Tribes
compact expires on December 31, 2020, but beginning 18 months prior to the expiration date, the Tribe may request to enter into negotiations to extend its respective compact or enter into a new compact. The Tribes compact will automatically be
extended until June 30, 2022 if the Tribe and the State have not agreed to extend the expiration date or have not entered into a new compact. The Tribes compact requires that any person who directly or indirectly extends financing to the
Tribes gaming facility or gaming operation must be licensed as a financial source by the Tribal Gaming Authority. However, as permitted by the compact, the Tribal Gaming Authority has by ordinance exempted federally and state
regulated banks, savings and loan associations and other federally and state regulated lending institutions, as well as persons who hold less than 10.0% of notes issued by the Tribe or a related entity. For an applicant who is a non-exempted
business



25

##### Table of Contents

entity, these licensing provisions also apply to the entitys officers, directors, principal management employees, owners (if an
unincorporated entity), partners and greater than 10.0% shareholders. Under the compact, a permanent license cannot be issued unless the Tribal Gaming Authority has conducted an investigation as to the suitability of the applicant. Any application
for a gaming license may be denied, and any license issued may be revoked, if the Tribal Gaming Authority determines the applicant to be unsuitable or otherwise unqualified for a gaming license. Each license is subject to review for compliance at
least every two years.



Prior to receiving a
license, an applicant must apply to the California Gambling Control Commission for a determination of suitability. The California Department of Justice, Division of Gambling Control will then conduct an investigation of the applicant following the
guidelines set forth in the California Gambling Control Act and will provide its suitability recommendation to the California Gambling Control Commission. If the Tribal Gaming Authority receives notice that the Commission has determined that a
person is unsuitable, the compact requires that the Tribal Gaming Authority revoke any license it has issued to such person.



The compact states that any agreement between the Tribe and a financial source terminates upon revocation or non-renewal of the financial
sources license because of a determination of unsuitability by the California Gambling Control Commission. Upon such a termination, the Tribes only liability is for the bona fide repayment of all outstanding sums (exclusive of interest)
owed as of the termination date, exclusive of unpaid accrued interest.



Further, the Tribe is not permitted to enter into, or continue to make payments under, any financing agreement with anyone whose application to the California Gambling Control Commission for a determination of suitability
has been denied or has expired without renewal.



Possible Changes in Federal Law



Several bills have been introduced in Congress that would amend IGRA. While there have been a number of technical amendments to IGRA, to date there have been no material changes. Any amendment of IGRA could change the governmental
structure and requirements within which the Tribe could conduct gaming.



Other Laws and Regulations



Clean Water Regulations



Operation of Trump Indiana must be in compliance with applicable state and federal environmental requirements, including the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Refuse Act and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended.



The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Refuse Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act establish an extensive regulatory and liability regime for
the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills and releases of hazardous substances and other pollutants, and affect all owners and operators whose vessels operate in United States waters, which include the Great Lakes. The Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 requires vessel owners and operators to establish and maintain with the U.S. Coast Guard evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet their potential liabilities under the act. U.S. Coast Guard regulations also
implement the financial responsibility requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act by requiring evidence of financial responsibility, in addition to any required under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. THCR
and Trump Indiana, Inc. have obtained insurance coverage and a Certificate of Financial Responsibility as required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. However, in the case of
a catastrophic spill or a spill in a sensitive environment, there can be no assurance that such occurrence would not result in liability in excess of the insurance coverage.

Treasury
Regulations



The United States Department of
the Treasury has adopted regulations pursuant to which a casino is required to file a report of each deposit, withdrawal, exchange of currency, gambling tokens or chips, or other payments or transfers by, through or to such casino which involves a
transaction in currency of more than $10,000 per patron, per gaming day. Such reports are required to be made on forms prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury and are filed with the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, THCR
is required to maintain detailed records (including the names, addresses, social security numbers and other information with respect to its gaming customers) dealing with, among other items, the deposit and withdrawal of funds and the maintenance of
a line of credit.



In the past, the Internal
Revenue Service had taken the position that winnings from table games by nonresident aliens were subject to a 30.0% withholding tax. The Internal Revenue Service, however, subsequently adopted a practice of not collecting such tax. Recently enacted
legislation exempts from withholding tax table game winnings by nonresident aliens, unless the Secretary of the Treasury determines by regulation that such collections have become administratively feasible.



The Trump Casino Properties have adopted the following
internal control procedures to increase compliance with these Treasury regulations: (i) computer exception reporting; (ii) establishment of a committee to review currency transaction report transactions and reporting which consists of executives
from the Casino Operations, Marketing and Administration Departments; (iii) internal audit testing of compliance with the Treasury regulations; (iv) training for all new and existing employees in compliance with the Treasury regulations; and
(v) a disciplinary program for employee violations of the policy.



Other Regulations



Trump Indiana is located near protected wetlands which subject THCR to obligations or liabilities in connection with wetlands mitigation or protection.



THCR is subject to other federal, state and local regulations and, on a periodic basis, must obtain various
licenses and permits, including those required to sell alcoholic beverages. We believe all required licenses and permits necessary to conduct the business of THCR have been obtained for operations in the States of New Jersey and Indiana.



THCR expects to be subject to similar rigorous
regulatory standards in each other jurisdiction in which it seeks to conduct gaming operations. There can be no assurance that regulations adopted, permits required or taxes imposed by other jurisdictions will permit profitable operations by THCR in
those jurisdictions.



In addition, the Federal
Merchant Marine Act of 1936 and the Federal Shipping Act of 1916 and the applicable regulations thereunder require, among other things, that 75.0% of the outstanding stock and voting power of any entity owning or operating a vessel in the United
States coastwise trade, which includes the Great Lakes, must be beneficially owned and controlled by citizens of the United States, as defined therein. During any period when more than 25.0% of the outstanding capital stock and voting power of THCR
is owned and controlled by persons who are not citizens of the United States, the vessel would be ineligible to operate in the Great Lakes, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain
of our casino hotel employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees. In addition, certain of our executives and employees provide services, from time-to-time and as requested,
to one or more of our casino properties pursuant to the Casino Services Agreement described herein. See Business; Certain Agreements; Casino Services Agreement.



Also, certain of our employees are required to be licensed by, or registered with, the New Jersey Casino
Commission, or the CCC, and/or the Indiana Gaming Commission, or the IGC, depending upon the nature of their employment. Casino employees are subject to more stringent licensing requirements than non-casino employees, and are required to meet
applicable standards pertaining to such matters as financial responsibility, good character, ability, casino training, experience and in-state residency. These regulations have resulted in significant competition for eligible employees.



Seasonality



Our cash flows from operating activities are seasonal in
nature. Spring and summer are traditionally the peak seasons for the Trump Atlantic City Properties, with autumn and winter being non-peak seasons. Trump 29s peak seasons are late winter and spring. Trump Indiana is not seasonal. Since
the Trump Atlantic City Properties account for the majority of our business, our operating results for the two quarters ending in March and December are not historically as profitable as the two quarters ending in June and September. Any excess cash
flow achieved from operations during peak seasons is used to subsidize non-peak seasons. Performance in non-peak seasons is usually dependent on favorable weather and a long-weekend holiday calendar. In the event that we are unable to generate
excess cash flows in one or more peak seasons, we may not be able to subsidize non-peak seasons, if necessary.



Inflation



There was no significant impact on operations as a result of inflation during 2000, 2001 and 2002.



Item 2.    Properties



Please see Item 1. Business for a brief description of the location and general character of each of the Trump Casino Properties. Substantially all of the real and personal property (other than cash) of each of
the Trump Casino Properties, including their respective hotel and casino facilities and the parcels of land on which they are situated, secures the obligations under their respective indebtedness. Each of the Trump Casino Properties has financed or
leased and, from time to time, will finance or lease its acquisition of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The lien in favor of any such lender or lessor may be superior to the liens securing their indebtedness. See Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Financial ConditionSummary of Companys Public Indebtedness.



Also, each of the Trump Atlantic City Properties leases space to various retailers in their respective facilities.

Trump Plaza



Through our subsidiary, Plaza Associates,
we own and lease several parcels of land in and around Atlantic City, including four parcels of land on which Trump Plaza is situated. We also lease one of the four parcels of land on which Trump Plaza is situated from Plaza Hotel Management
Company, or PHMC, pursuant to a non-renewable ground lease expiring in December 2078, or the PHMC Lease. Plaza Associates, in addition to the payment of fixed rent, is responsible for all costs and expenses with respect to the use, operation and
ownership of the leased tract and the improvements now, or which may in the future be, located thereon, including, but not limited to, all maintenance and repair costs, insurance premiums, real estate taxes, assessments and utility charges. The
improvements located on the leased tract are owned by Plaza Associates during the term of the PHMC Lease, and upon the expiration of the term of the PHMC Lease (for any reason), ownership of such improvements will then belong to PHMC. Plaza
Associates has the option to purchase the leased parcel at certain times during the term of such PHMC Lease under certain circumstances.



Plaza Associates also leases, pursuant to the PHMC Lease, a 11,800 square foot parcel of land located near the intersection of Mississippi
and Pacific Avenues and owns a 5,750 square foot parcel of land adjacent to it.



Plaza Associates also owns five parcels of land, aggregating approximately 43,300 square feet, and subleases one parcel consisting of approximately 3,125 square feet. All of such parcels are contiguous
and are located along Atlantic Avenue, on the same block as Trump Plazas garage. They are used for signage and surface parking and are encumbered by the TAC Mortgages.



Plaza Associates also owns approximately three acres of land adjacent to the boardwalk and on which the
former Trump Worlds Fair, closed in October 1999, was situated.



Plaza Associates owns a 64,000 square foot warehouse and office facility located in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey.



Trump Taj Mahal



Through our subsidiary, Taj Associates, we currently own the approximately 30 acres of land which comprise the Trump Taj Mahal site. The
Taj Mahal site includes the Steel Pier (approximate 3.6 acres) and related property located on the opposite side of the boardwalk from the Trump Taj Mahal. Taj Associates leases the Steel Pier to an amusement park operator pursuant to a lease
agreement terminating on December 31, 2005, unless extended.



Trump Marina



Through
Marina Associates, we own Trump Marinas hotel and casino facility and the 14.7-acre triangular-shaped parcel of land on which it is situated. Marina Associates also owns an employee parking lot located on Route 30, approximately two miles from
Trump Marina, which can accommodate approximately 1,000 cars.



Trump Indiana



Through
Trump Indiana, Inc., we own Trump Indianas 280 foot riverboat vessel. Pursuant to Trump Indianas and Majestic Stars joint venture, Buffington Harbor Riverboats, LLC (or BHR), BHR owns, develops and operates all common land-based

New York City



We lease office space in Trump Tower
located in New York, New York for general, executive and administrative purposes pursuant to a lease, dated November 1, 1996, as amended, with Trump Tower Commercial, LLC, an entity owned by Donald J. Trump. The lease expires on August 31, 2010. The
annual rent, payable in equal monthly installments, during the three-year period from September 1, 2000 to August 31, 2003 is $64,655. The annual rent for the subsequent three year period is $68,459. The annual rent for during the last four-year
period is $72,262. According to the lease, we are also obligated to pay imposed property taxes and porters wage escalation increases. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we incurred and paid $3,095 in property taxes and wage escalation
increases. See Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation; Trump Tower Lease and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions; Trump Tower Lease.



Item 3.    Legal Proceedings



From time to time, we and certain of our officers, directors, agents and employees are subject to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. In the past, we have vigorously defended
ourselves and our officers, directors, agents and employees against any such actions and intend to do so in the future. Generally, pursuant to our articles of incorporation, we have undertaken to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable by law,
our officers, directors, agents and employees against all expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts payable in settlement incurred by them in connection with such actions, suits or proceedings, provided that they have
acted in good faith and in a manner they believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.



In 1994, Trump Indiana, Inc. had discussions with eight
Indiana residents regarding the potential purchase by such residents of non-voting stock of Trump Indiana, Inc. and the creation and funding of a charitable foundation for the residents of the Gary, Indiana area. Subsequent to those discussions,
however, management decided to include Trump Indiana, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of THCR Holdings in our June 1995 initial public offering. The residents then asserted a right to purchase stock in THCR equal to 7.5% of the value of Trump
Indiana, Inc. and also asserted that Trump Indiana, Inc. was required to contribute an additional 7.5% of its value, represented by shares of its stock, into the charitable foundation. Such residents filed a complaint in the United States District
Court, Southern District of Indiana, against Trump Indiana, THCR, THCR Holdings, and Mr. Trump. Monetary settlements later were reached between all defendants and six of the eight plaintiffs. In February 1999, the court entered summary judgment
against the two remaining plaintiffs. The case was then tried in United States District Court, Indianapolis. On March 3, 1999, the jury assessed damages against Trump Indiana, Inc. for breach of contract in the total amount of approximately
$1.3 million and further determined that Trump Indiana, Inc. had breached a contract to create and fund a charitable foundation. On December 9, 1999, the United States District Court, sitting in equity, decided the equity claim ruling that the
plaintiffs were not entitled to the equitable relief sought and that Trump Indiana, Inc. had met its obligation by establishing and funding another charitable foundation for the benefit of the residents of the City of Gary. In June 2001, the United
States Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the lower courts ruling and remanded the case back to the United States District Court for another trial. On September 3, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
summarily affirmed the entry of final judgment by the United States District Court in favor of Trump Indiana, Inc. Plaintiffs Petitions for Rehearing of this decision were also summarily denied by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on
October 17, 2002. The deadline for further appealing these decisions has expired. As a result, the March 3, 1999 verdict in favor of the plaintiffs and against Trump Indiana, Inc. in the amount of approximately $1.3 million has been
reversed and final judgment has been entered on our behalf.

Item 7.    Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or
predict. THCRs actual results may differ substantially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the
related notes thereto. Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in the Form 10-K.



General



We have substantial indebtedness and interest expense which could limit capital expenditures and adversely affect our competitiveness.



Our company has substantial indebtedness
and interest expense. At December 31, 2002, THCRs consolidated long-term debt was approximately $1.9 billion and its ratio of debt to capital was 25.0 to 1. Interest expense as a percentage of net revenues was 18.1%, 18.8% and 18.7% for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.



As previously announced, we have sought to refinance or modify the terms of THCRs and its subsidiaries public debt issues. In March 2003, we refinanced an aggregate principal amount of approximately $444.2
million of debt with the net proceeds of the TCH Note Offering. See Business; Recent Events; TCH Note Offering. Upon consummation of the TCH Note Offering, our consolidated long-term debt was not reduced significantly and our
consolidated interest expense will remain high. Capital expenditures, such as room refurbishment,



33

##### Table of Contents

amenity upgrades and replacements and additions of new gaming equipment, are necessary from time to time to preserve the competitiveness of
our properties. In addition, construction of additional rooms at one or more of our Atlantic City properties could be desirable in the future. Our high levels of interest expense, however, could limit our ability to make capital expenditures
necessary to improve and upgrade our properties and preserve our competitive position. We have substantial indebtedness maturing in 2006, and we may seek to refinance this indebtedness on more favorable terms when and if market conditions are
suitable. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be successful in reducing our interest expense in any refinancing. Management believes that, based upon THCRs current cash flow forecasts for 2003, THCR and its subsidiaries will have
sufficient cash flows to meet their respective debt service and operating expense requirements throughout 2003.



The ability of Trump AC and its subsidiaries to pay interest on the TAC Notes ($1.3 billion principal amount) and the ability of TCH and
TCF to pay interest on the TCH Notes ($490.0 million principal amount) depends primarily on the ability of the Trump Casino Properties to generate cash from operations sufficient for such purposes. In the case of principal payments at maturity, the
ability to refinance such indebtedness is also important. The future operating performance of the Trump Casino Properties is subject to general economic conditions, industry conditions, including competition and regulatory matters, and numerous
other factors, many of which are unforeseeable or are beyond the control of the Trump Casino Properties. There can be no assurance that the future operating performance of the Trump Casino Properties will be sufficient to generate the cash flows
required to meet the debt service obligations of the Trump Casino Properties. The ability of the Trump Casino Properties to pay the principal amount of their public debt at maturity (whether scheduled or by acceleration thereof) is primarily
dependent upon their ability to obtain refinancing. There is also no assurance that the general state of the economy, the status of the capital markets generally, or the receptiveness of the capital markets to the gaming industry or to THCR and its
subsidiaries will be conducive to refinancing debt at any given time or on more favorable terms.



Restrictions contained in the indentures governing our public indebtedness may impose limits on our ability to pursue certain business strategies.



The indentures governing our public indebtedness (i.e., the
TAC Notes and TCH Notes) contain operating and financial restrictions that limit our discretion on various business matters. These restrictions include covenants limiting our ability to:



| |  |  | incur additional debt;
| | - |  | ----------------------

| |  |  | grant liens;
| | - |  | ------------

| |  |  | make capital expenditures;
| | - |  | --------------------------

| |  |  | make investments;
| | - |  | -----------------

| |  |  | sell assets;
| | - |  | ------------

| |  |  | merge or consolidate with another company;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

| |  |  | pay dividends and other distributions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

| |  |  | issue stock of subsidiaries; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------

| |  |  | enter into transactions with affiliates.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



These restrictions may reduce our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and gaming industry. This reduced
flexibility could hurt our results of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations with respect to our indebtedness.



We do not know how the Borgata, when opened, will affect us.



In September 2000, Boyd Gaming and MGM Mirage, Inc. commenced their joint development of a 25-acre site
located in Atlantic Citys marina district for the construction of the Borgata. The Borgata is expected to

feature a 40-story tower with 2,010 rooms and suites, as well as a 135,000 square-foot casino, restaurants, retail shops, a spa and pool, and
entertainment venues. Construction of the Borgata is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2003. We believe that the opening of the Borgata will attract additional visitors to Atlantic City, especially the marina district which could benefit
Trump Marina. It is also possible, however, that the Borgata could have an adverse effect on our business and operations, including a reduction in net revenues caused by a loss of gaming patrons.



New York has enacted gaming legislation which may harm us,
and other states may do so in the future. We do not know how these initiatives will affect us.



In October 2001, the New York State legislature passed extensive legislation that could adversely affect us. The legislation permits three
new casinos in western New York, one in Niagara Falls, one in Buffalo and one on land owned by the Seneca Indian Nation, all of which would be owned by the Seneca Indian Nation. The legislation also permits up to three casinos in the Catskills in
Ulster and Sullivan counties, also to be owned by Native American tribes, which could open as early as mid-2005. In addition, the legislation allows slot machines to be placed in Indian-owned casinos. Video lottery terminals could be installed at
five horse racing tracks across the State of New York and, if local governments approve, at certain other tracks. Finally, the law provides for New York joining the Powerball lottery that operates in 26 states with large jackpots. The net effect of
these facilities and other items, when operational, on Atlantic City, including the Trump Atlantic City Properties, cannot be predicted. We believe, however, that a substantial amount of existing and potential new gaming customers could patronize
such facilities instead of Atlantic City, at least occasionally. In January 2002, a lawsuit was commenced contesting the above legislation package on the grounds that certain of its provisions were adopted in violation of New York States
constitution. The likely outcome of this lawsuit cannot be ascertained at this time.



Pennsylvania and Maryland are among the other states currently contemplating some form of gaming legislation. Legislative proposals introduced in Pennsylvania would potentially allow for a wide range
of gaming activities, including riverboat gaming, slot machines at racetracks, video lottery terminals at liquor stores and the formation of a gaming commission. Marylands proposed legislation would authorize video lottery terminals at some of
Marylands racing facilities. The results of the recent gubernatorial elections in Pennsylvania and Maryland have increased the likelihood of gaming legislation in such states. Since our market is primarily a drive-to market, legalized gaming
in Pennsylvania, Maryland or one or more states neighboring or within close proximity to New Jersey could have a material adverse effect on the Atlantic City gaming market overall, including the Trump Atlantic City Properties.



A downturn in the regional economy and high energy and
gasoline prices and adverse winter weather conditions could negatively impact our financial performance.



Moderate or severe economic downturns or adverse conditions in the Atlantic City and regional markets and surrounding areas may negatively
affect our operations. During periods of economic contraction, our revenues may decrease while some of our costs remain fixed, resulting in decreased earnings. This is because gaming and other leisure activities we offer are discretionary
expenditures and participation in such activities may decline during economic downturns because consumers have less disposable income. Even an uncertain economic outlook may adversely affect consumer spending in our gaming operations and related
facilities, as consumers spend less in anticipation of a potential economic downturn. Furthermore, the effects, if any, of the hostilities in Iraq on the economy generally and on the habits of consumers are not known. A prolonged conflict with Iraq
and other uncertainties could adversely affect consumer spending, increase gasoline prices and, perhaps, adversely affect our operations.



We use significant amounts of electricity, natural gas and other forms of energy. While no shortages of energy have been experienced, any
substantial increases in the cost of electricity and natural gas in the United States may negatively impact our operating results. The extent of any impact is subject to the magnitude and duration of the energy price increases and could be material.



Also, a majority of our patrons drive to our
property. Rising gasoline prices could reduce automobile travel and decrease the number of patrons to our properties. In addition, adverse winter weather conditions reduce

automobile travel. As a result, our business, assets, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by a
weakening of regional economic conditions, high gasoline prices and/or adverse winter weather conditions.



We may incur losses that would not be covered by insurance and the cost of insurance will increase.



Although we maintain insurance which is customary and, we
believe, appropriate for our business, we cannot assure you that insurance will be available or adequate to cover all losses and damage to which our business or our assets might be subjected. In connection with insurance renewals subsequent to
September 11, 2001, the availability of insurance coverage for certain types of damages or occurrences has been diminished substantially. Consequently, we are self-insured for certain risks and levels of risk. The lack of insurance for certain types
or levels of risk could expose us to significant losses in the event that an uninsured catastrophe occurred. Any uncovered losses may decrease our future operating income, require us to find replacements or repairs and reduce funds otherwise
available to upgrade our property.



Taxation
of the gaming industry, already significant, may increase in the future which would reduce our profitability.



The casino industry represents a significant source of tax revenues to the various jurisdictions in which casinos operate. We, as well as
other gaming companies, are currently subject to significant state and local taxes and fees in addition to normal federal and state corporate income taxes. New Jersey taxes annual gaming revenues at the rate of 8.0% and levies an annual investment
alternative tax of 2.5% on annual gaming revenue. This 2.5% obligation, however, can be satisfied by purchasing certain bonds or making certain investments in the amount of 1.25% of annual gaming revenues. In July 2002, New Jersey passed the New
Jersey Business Tax Reform Act, which, among other things, suspended the use of the net operating loss carryforwards for two years and introduced a new alternative minimum assessment under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross
receipts or gross profits. Future changes in New Jerseys taxation of gaming companies cannot be predicted and any such changes could adversely affect our profitability.



From time to time, and as was the case in the second quarter of 2002 in Indiana, various state and federal
legislators have proposed changes in tax laws that affect the gaming industry. In connection with permitting dockside gaming which we believe is advantageous, the Indiana state legislature passed legislation effective July 1, 2002 that
increased the gaming tax rates in Indiana. If a casino elects to become a dockside operations, the gaming tax rate structure changes from a flat tax rate of 22.5% to a graduated scale with a maximum tax rate of 35.0%, depending on gaming revenues
levels. Trump Indiana became a dockside operation in August 2002.



In February 2003, in response to state budgetary concerns, the Governor of New Jersey proposed increasing New Jerseys casino gross revenue tax from 8.0% to 10.0%, to tax complimentaries and to impose a 7.0% occupancy
tax on hotel rooms. The outcome of this tax proposal is uncertain at this time. Any tax increase imposed on Atlantic City casinos, including the Trump Atlantic City Properties, could reduce our profitability. See Business; The Atlantic City
Market.



Our success depends, in part,
on the availability of qualified management and personnel and on our ability to retain such employees.



Certain of our employees are required to be licensed by, or registered with, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, Indiana Gaming
Commission and/or the National Indian Gaming Commission, depending upon the nature of their employment. Casino employees are subject to more stringent licensing requirements than non-casino employees, and are required to meet applicable standards
pertaining to such matters as financial responsibility, good character, ability, casino training, experience and in-state residency. These regulations have resulted in significant competition for eligible employees. As a result, it may be difficult
to attract, retain and train qualified employees due to the competition for employees with other gaming companies in our jurisdiction and nationwide. A failure to attract or retain qualified management and personnel at all levels or the loss of our
key executives could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our right
to use the Trump name is subject to certain limitations.



Subject to certain limitations, THCR has the exclusive right to use the Trump name and Mr. Trumps likeness in connection with gaming and related activities pursuant to a trademark license agreement between
Mr. Trump and THCR. THCRs rights under the license agreement are secured by a security interest in the names Trump, Donald Trump and Donald J. Trump and variations thereof (collectively, the Trump
Names) and related intellectual property rights (collectively, the Marks) for use in connection with casino services, pursuant to a security agreement. THCR, in turn, allows its subsidiaries to use the Trump Names under various parol licenses which
do not create an enforceable license in favor of these subsidiaries. If there were a default under the license agreement or the security agreement, THCR would have rights, subject to applicable state law, to enforce the rights and remedies contained
in the security agreement. THCRs subsidiaries would not have any such rights. In the event of a foreclosure sale of the Marks, the net amount realized in such sale by THCR might not yield the full amount of damages that THCR could sustain as a
result of the default. In addition, the existence of rights of others to use the Trump Names, including pursuant to any security interests in trademarks for non-gaming hotels, could adversely affect the ability of THCR to realize the benefits of the
security agreement. See Business; Certain Agreements; Trademark License Agreement.



Gaming is a regulated industry and changes in the law could have a material adverse effect on our positions.



Gaming in New Jersey and Indiana and at Trump 29 is regulated extensively by federal and state regulatory
bodies, including the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (or the CCC), the Indiana Gaming Commission (or the IGC), the National Indian Gaming Commission (or the NIGC) and state and federal taxing, law enforcement and liquor control agencies. See
Business; Governmental and Gaming Regulation. The Company and its various officers and other qualifiers have received the licenses, permits and authorizations required to operate our properties. Failure to maintain or obtain the
requisite casino licenses would have a material adverse effect on us.



Our license to operate Trump Marina expires in May 2003. Our licenses to operate Trump Plaza and Trump Taj Mahal expire in June 2003. We timely filed applications to renew each license through July 2007 and a hearing is
scheduled for late June 2003. Although we believe the CCC will renew the licenses, no assurance can be given as to such renewal or as to what license conditions, if any, may be imposed by the CCC in connection with such renewals. See Business;
Governmental and Gaming Regulations; Operating Licenses.



In June 1996, the IGC granted Trump Indiana, Inc. a riverboat owners license for the ownership and operation of a gaming vessel at Buffington Harbor, which was renewed in June 2002 and expires in June 2003. Although we believe
the IGC will renew the license, no assurance can be given as to such renewal or as to what license conditions, if any, may be imposed by the IGC in connection with such renewal.



Gaming at Trump 29 is regulated extensively by federal, state and tribal regulatory bodies, including the
NIGC, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Tribal Gaming Authority and, to a lesser extent, by the California Gambling Control Commission.



If new gaming regulations are adopted by the jurisdictions in which we operate, such regulations could impose restriction or costs that
could have a significant adverse effect on us. From time to time, various proposals have been introduced by the legislatures of New Jersey and Indiana that, if enacted, could adversely affect the tax, regulatory, operations or other aspects of the
gaming industry and us. We cannot assure you that legislation of this type will not be enacted in the future.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management periodically evaluates
the Companys policies and the estimates and assumptions related to such policies. The Trump Casino Properties



37

##### Table of Contents

operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to regulations that describe and regulate operating and internal control procedures.
The Company believes its most critical accounting policies and significant estimates are described below.



Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts



The majority of the Companys revenue is from gaming activities, and the majority of such revenue is
derived from cash, which by nature does not require complex estimations. The Company does extend credit to customers on a discretionary basis to certain qualified patrons. Credit play as a percentage of total dollars wagered has been approximately
20% for the past three years. The Trump Casino Properties establish credit limits based upon the particular patrons creditworthiness, as determined by an examination of various factors including a credit check of the patron, checking the
patrons personal checking account balance, and checking the patrons credit limits and indebtedness at other casinos. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for those customers whose checks have been unable to be
deposited due to non-sufficient funds. This allowance is based on a specific review of customer accounts as well as a review of the history of write-offs of returned markers. Management believes that the reserve recorded is reasonable; however,
these estimates could change in the near term based on actual collection experience with each returned marker.



Long-lived Assets



Management has determined that the Companys policy associated with its long-lived assets and the related estimates is critical to
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company has a significant investment in long-lived property and equipment. Management estimates that the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets
exceed the current carrying value of these assets. Any adverse change to the estimate of these undiscounted cash flows could necessitate an impairment charge that would adversely affect operating results. Management estimates the useful lives for
the Companys assets based on historical experience and the estimates of assets commercial lives. Should the actual useful life of a class of assets differ from the estimated useful life, an impairment charge would be recorded. Management
reviews useful lives and obsolescence and assesses commercial viability of the Companys assets periodically.



Self-Insurance Reserves



Self-insurance reserves represent the estimated amounts of uninsured claims related to employee health medical costs, workers
compensation, and personal injury claims that have occurred in the normal course of business. These reserves are established by management based upon specific review of open claims, with consideration of incurred but not reported claims as of the
balance sheet date. The costs of the ultimate disposition of these claims may differ from these reserve numbers.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 Business Combinations (SFAS 141) and Statement No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142).
SFAS 141 is effective as follows:  a) use of the pooling-of-interest method is prohibited for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001; and b) the provisions of SFAS 141 also apply to all business combinations accounted for by
the purchase method that are completed after June 30,2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in an entitys statement of financial
position at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. The effect of adoption of these pronouncements did not have any impact on the Company.



In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This
standard addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June15,
2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have an impact on the Companys financial results.

##### Table of Contents



In August
2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The standard is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and the effect of adoption had no impact to the Company.



In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 requires, among other items, gains or losses of extinguishment of debt to be classified as income (loss) from continuing operations rather than as an extraordinary item as
previously required under SFAS No. 4 unless such extinguishment is determined to be extraordinary pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Transactions. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 during 2002, and the effect of adoption was not material to the Company but required a
reclassification to a gain on the purchase of our THCR Holdings Senior Notes during 2000.



In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This pronouncement, which nullifies EITF 94-3, Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit on Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring), addresses the accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and is effective for
exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34
(FIN No. 45). The interpretation requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the entity must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that obligation. This interpretation is intended to improve the
comparability of financial reporting by requiring identical accounting for guarantees issued with separately identified consideration and guarantees issued without separately identified consideration. For the company, the initial recognition,
measurement provision and disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, adoption of FIN No. 45 will have on its consolidated
financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46). This interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46
applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For existing variable interest entities, the consolidated requirement is
effective for interim or annual financial statements beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is evaluating whether it has any variable interest entities, which will be subject to consolidation pursuant to FIN No. 46.



Financial Condition



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Cash flows from operating activities of the Trump Casino
Properties are our primary source of liquidity. To a lesser extent, we rely on capital lease financing for our capital resource needs. Our ability to borrow funds for our liquidity needs is severely restricted by covenants in the various indentures
governing the public debt issues of our subsidiaries and by already high levels of indebtedness. Sources of our short-term and long-term liquidity include primarily: (i) table win, (ii) slot win, (iii) room occupancy, (iv) food and beverage sales
and



39

##### Table of Contents

(v) miscellaneous items, less promotional expenses. A variety of factors, including a decrease or change in the demand for our services,
could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to service our debt obligations.



The Trump Atlantic City Properties also compete with other Atlantic City casino/hotels based on the quality of customer service, the array
of games offered, the attractiveness of a casino/hotel and the extent and quality of the facilities and amenities.



Because we have substantial indebtedness and related interest expense, we have not been able to pursue various capital expansion plans,
such as the addition of more hotel rooms. See Business; The Atlantic City Marketplace and Business; Competition.

Capital lease additions for Trump AC were principally slot
machines. Castle Associates capital expenditures consisted principally of purchases of slot machines, hotel room renovations and ongoing property enhancements. Approximately $14.2 million costs of hotel construction and other infrastructure
improvements at Trump Indiana were applied towards satisfying the economic development commitment required in connection with the Indiana licensing process.



Summary of the Companys Public Indebtedness



TAC Notes.    Trump ACs debt consists primarily of the TAC Notes. The TAC
Notes bear interest at the rate of 11.25% per annum, payable on May 1st and November 1st of each year, and mature on May 1, 2006. The TAC Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at any time upon not less than 30 but not more than 60 days notice.
If redeemed at any time during the twelve-month period prior to May 1, 2003, the redemption price of the



40

##### Table of Contents

TAC Notes is 103.75% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued interest. For the twelve-month period commencing on May 1, 2003, the
redemption price decreases to 101.875% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued interest. If any of the TAC Notes are redeemed on or after May 1, 2004, the redemption price is 100.0% of the outstanding principal amount of the TAC Notes
redeemed, plus accrued interest.



As of December
31, 2002, $1.3 billion principal amount of TAC Notes were outstanding.



The TAC Notes are secured on a senior basis by substantially all of the real and personal property owned or leased by Plaza Associates and Taj Associates. The obligations evidenced by the TAC Notes are jointly and severally
guaranteed by Taj Associates, Plaza Associates and Trump AC and all future subsidiaries of Trump AC (other than Trump AC Funding).



TCH Notes.    See Business; Recent Events; TCH Note Offering for a summary of the TCH Notes. Except
in connection with a public or private equity offering, the TCH Notes are not redeemable until March 15, 2007. In addition, until March 15, 2006, TCH and TCF may redeem up to 35.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Mortgage
Notes and the Second Priority Mortgage Notes with the net proceeds of one or more public of private offerings. The Second Priority Mortgage Notes are not redeemable while the First Priority Mortgage Notes are outstanding. For the twelve-month period
commencing March 15, 2007, the TCH Notes are redeemable at 108.719% of their outstanding principal amount. For the twelve-month period commencing March 15, 2008, the redemption price decrease to 104.359% of the outstanding principal amount. For the
twelve-month period commencing March 15, 2009, the redemption price is 100.0% of the outstanding principal amount.



If there is a Change of Control (as defined in the indentures) of TCH, the holders of the TCH Notes will have the right to
sell the TCH Notes to TCH and TCF at 101.0% of their face amount, plus accrued interest.



Miscellaneous.In addition, the ability of (i) Plaza Associates and Taj Associates (through Trump AC) and (ii) Marina Associates (through TCH) to make payments, dividends
or distributions to THCR Holdings may be restricted by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and/or the Indiana Gaming Commission. Similarly, the ability of Trump Indiana, Inc. (through TCH) to make payments of dividends or distributions to THCR
Holdings may be restricted by the Indiana Gaming Commission.



Cash flow from operations was sufficient to provide for cash interest expense in 2002 and in prior years. Capital expenditures, however, were limited due primarily to the high level of interest expense on THCRs public debt
issues. As shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in our Financial Statements, THCR has consistently generated sufficient cash for debt service and operating requirements. Management believes that, based upon its cash flow forecast for
2003, THCR and its consolidated subsidiaries will have sufficient cash flows to meet their respective debt service and operating requirements throughout 2003.



Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments.



The following tables set forth summaries of our obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2002 to make future payments under
contracts, such as debt and lease agreements, and under contingent commitments:

Effects of Transactions
with Related and Certain Other Parties.



Affiliate party transactions are governed by the terms of our public debt and by a stockholder settlement agreement entered into in January 2002, which generally require that such transactions be on terms as favorable as would be
obtainable from an unaffiliated party, and require the approval of a majority of the independent directors of THCR for certain affiliated transactions.



Trump and certain affiliates have engaged in certain related party transactions with respect to THCR and its subsidiaries. See
Executive Compensation; Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation and Certain Related Party Transactions.

Results of Operations
for the Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2002



Gaming revenues are the primary source of THCRs revenues. Table game revenues represent the amount retained by THCR from amounts wagered at table games. The table win percentage tends to be fairly constant over the long term,
but may vary significantly in the short term, due to large wagers by high rollers. THCRs table game win percentage was 16.5% and 16.4% for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The Atlantic City industry table
game win percentages were 15.6 % and 15.7% for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.



Table game revenues decreased $10.6 million, or 3.0%, to $337.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 from $347.7

the $26.8 million increase in table game drop. Trump Marinas $0.9 million increase in table game revenues is primarily due to a 0.5 point increase in table win percentage which offset the $7.1 million decrease in table game drop. Trump
Indianas $3.5 million decrease in table game revenues was primarily due to a $15.6 million decrease in table game drop, resulting from a general decrease in table game play experienced throughout the Indiana and Illinois market, a change in
the Asian bus program in the third quarter of 2002, and managements decision in 2001 to eliminate high end table player marketing efforts.



Slot revenues increased $48.1 million, or 5.5%, to $915.9 million for the year ended December 31 , 2002 from $867.8 million in the
comparable period in 2001. Increases in slot handle of $135.2 million at the Trump Marina and $32.0 million at Trump Indiana primarily contributed to their respective increases in slot revenues in slot revenues of $14.5 million and $8.6 million,
respectively. Trump Indianas increase in slot revenues is also attributed to the opening of the new 2,000 space garage in 2002 and the commencement of dockside gaming in August 2002. Trump Plazas slot revenues increased $7.7 million due
to a 0.3 point increase in slot win percentage which offset an $22.5 million decrease in slot handle. Trump Taj Mahals slot revenues increased $17.3 million due to a 0.4 point increase in slot win percentage combined with a $12.4 million
increase in slot handle. Overall, slot revenues increased primarily as a result of improved slot product on the casino floor, managements continued focus on marketing initiatives and customer service, and favorable weather conditions in the
first three months of 2002.



Other revenues for
the years ended December 31, 2002 includes a $2.7 million management fee from the Trump 29 Casino located in Coachella, California, for which there was no comparative revenue in 2001.



Gaming costs and expenses were $578.8 million for the year ended December 31 , 2002, a decrease of
$9.9 million, or 1.7%, from $588.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Gaming costs at the Taj Mahal decreased $5.8 million, or 2.4%, from the comparable period in 2001 and Trump Plazas gaming costs

decreased $4.9 million, or 3.1%, from the comparable period in 2001 primarily due to decreased payroll expense and more efficient marketing
programs. Trump Marinas gaming costs increased $3.1 million primarily due to increased spending on marketing programs, which was incurred to stimulate gaming revenues. Trump Indianas gaming costs decreased $2.4 million from the
comparable period in 2001 due to labor and expense cost management. Also the State of Indianas change in assessing a $3 tax from a per person per excursion to a per person on admission to the gaming facility contributed to the decrease in
gaming expenses.



General and administrative
expenses were $280.5 million for the year ended December 31 , 2002, a $21.5 million, or 8.3%, increase from $259.0 million in the comparable period in 2001. The increase is primarily attributed to the write-off of approximately $14.4 million of
CRDA deposits by the Atlantic City casinos, with the carrying value of $9.6 million, donated during the fourth quarter of 2002, in exchange for the right to utilize other CRDA deposits for the development of an entertainment retail district project
or projects. This increase is also attributed to higher insurance, real estate taxes, entertainment and employee benefits. Trump Marinas increase also includes incremental costs incurred related to the Trump Services Agreement. General and
administrative expenses also include expenses incurred by THCR Management of $1.1 million, including pre-opening costs of $0.6 million.



Income taxes of $5.0 million represent taxes recorded in connection with the changes to the New Jersey state income tax law enacted during
July 2002 (see Note 2).



THCR previously
announced its intention to refinance or modify the terms of its public debt which was approximately $1.7 billion aggregate principal amount as of December 31, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2002, debt renegotiation costs of $3.3 million
were incurred: $1.6 million by Trump AC on its $1.3 billion outstanding debt, $1.3 million by Trump Marina, $0.3 million by Trump Indiana and $0.1 million by THCR Holdings. Accordingly, the debt renegotiation costs have been expensed in the
accompanying Statements of Operations. THCR and its subsidiaries will continue to seek to refinance certain debt when market conditions are favorable. See GeneralWe have substantial indebtedness... .



Included in other non-operating income for the year ended
December 31, 2002, is a $0.7 million distribution from Miss Universe, L.P., LLLP, to THCR Holdings. There was no comparable income in 2001.



During the year ended December 31, 2002, Trump Indiana paid sales tax assessed by the State of Indiana relating to its vessel in the
amount of $1.8 million. As this assessment is being appealed by Trump Indiana, it has been included in other assets. Trump Indiana believes that the $1.8 million will be recoverable on settlement of the appeal.



Management intends to continue its focus on cost containment.
There is a limit, however, as to how far costs can be reduced without adversely affecting performance.



Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 2001



Gaming revenues are the primary source of THCRs revenues. Table game revenues represent the amount retained by THCR from amounts
wagered at table games. The table win percentage tends to be fairly constant over the long term, but may vary significantly in the short term, due to large wagers by high rollers. THCRs table game win percentage was 16.2% and 16.5%
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The Atlantic City industry table game win percentages were 15.4% and 15.6% for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.



Table games revenues decreased $27.4 million or 7.3% to $347.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $375.1 million in the comparable period in 2000. Decreased table drop at all four properties primarily contributed to the decrease in revenues. Table drop was negatively affected by decreased
activity from premium international table game customers, a weak domestic market as well as the negative national economic impacts of

the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The $18.4 million decrease in table games revenue at the Taj Mahal was also due to a decrease in
table win percentage. Although Trump Plazas table game drop declined, the 2.1 points increase in table win percentage contributed to a $2.8 million increase in table games revenue. Trump Marinas $9.7 million decrease in table games
revenue is due to declines in both table drop and win percentage. Trump Indianas $2.0 million or 7.5% decrease in table games revenue was partially offset by a .7 point increase in table win percentage on an 11.0% decrease in table game drop.



Slot revenues increased $21.7 million or 2.6% to
$867.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $846.1 million in the comparable period in 2000 primarily due to new slot product, marketing efforts and improved customer service. Increased slot handle of $335.6 million at the three
Atlantic City casinos primarily contributed to the increase in revenues. Trump Indianas slot revenues in 2001 increased $6.4 million or 6.9% from the comparable period in 2000 due to a 0.7 point increase in slot win percentage which totally
offset a $55.9 million or 3.9% decrease in slot handle from the comparable period in 2000. Slot revenues increased due to managements efforts to improve the slot product at all properties and sustained marketing programs designed
specifically for the slot customer.



Gaming costs
and expenses were $588.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $9.7 million or 1.6% from $598.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Taj Mahals gaming costs decreased $7.2 million or 2.9% from the year
ended December 31, 2000 due to decreased marketing expenses and gaming taxes associated with decreased table games revenue. Expense decreases of $1.8 million or 1.1% from the year ended December 31, 2000 at the Trump Plaza were primarily due to
decreased marketing expenses and incentives. Trump Marinas gaming costs decreased $3.9 million or 3.0% from the year ended December 31, 2000 primarily due to decreased promotional expenses achieved by eliminating less profitable programs.
Trump Indianas gaming costs increased $3.3 million or 5.3% from the year ended December 31, 2000 due to increased gaming taxes associated with the increase in gaming revenues.



General and administrative expenses were $259.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a
$23.2 million or 8.2% decrease from $282.2 million in the comparable period in 2000. Expense decreases at the Taj Mahal were primarily due to decreased insurance, litigation, entertainment, payroll and CRDA expenses. Expense decreases at the
Trump Plaza were primarily due to decreased entertainment, insurance, payroll and advertising expenses. Trump Marinas decrease is due to the additional writeoff of CRDA deposits, which were necessitated due to additional donation commitments
during the year ended December 31, 2000. Trump Indianas decrease is primarily due to the $3.0 million decrease in expense associated with the completion of the five-year license period accrual in June 2001 for economic development and
infrastructure improvements of the City of Gary. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses is due to an aircraft lease termination in 2000, decreased payroll, legal and lobbying expense in 2001.



Management intends to continue its focus on cost containment.
There is a limit, however, as to how far costs can be reduced without adversely affecting performance.



Seasonality



Our cash flows from operating activities are seasonal in nature. Spring and summer are traditionally the peak seasons for the Trump Atlantic City Properties, with autumn and winter being non-peak seasons. Trump 29s
peak seasons are late winter and spring. Trump Indiana is not seasonal. Since the Trump Atlantic City Properties account for the majority of our business, our operating results for the two quarters ending in March and December are not historically
as profitable as the two quarters ending in June and September. Any excess cash flow achieved from operations during peak seasons is used to subsidize non-peak seasons. Performance in non-peak seasons is usually dependent on favorable weather and a
long-weekend holiday calendar. In the event that we are unable to generate excess cash flows in one or more peak seasons, we may not be able to subsidize non-peak seasons, if necessary.

##### Table of Contents

2002, in connection with our acquisition of Trump Marina in October 1996, we have covenanted that all proposed transactions involving THCR or
THCR Holdings in which Trump has a personal interest valued over $200,000 or any transaction between THCR and any officer or director having a value of at least $200,000 (other than transactions relating to salary or other compensation paid in the
ordinary course of business), will be reviewed by the Special Committee, which shall make findings and recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to such proposed transactions. At all times, the Special Committee is required to be
comprised of at least two non-employee directors, one of whom shall be Mr. McGuire or his successor who shall be an independent director, and no employee directors.



Financial Expert



Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Askins is a financial expert (as defined by Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002). Mr. Askins is an independent director, as that term is defined by the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, and serves on our Boards Audit Committee, Stock Incentive Plan Committee, Special Committee and
Compensation Committee. See Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant; Wallace B. Askins.



Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation



In general, our executive officers compensation is determined by our Boards Compensation Committee, which currently consists
of Messrs. Trump, Askins and Thomas. No officer or employee of THCR, other than Mr. Trump, participated in the Boards deliberations concerning executive compensation. Mr. Trump did not participate in the Compensations Committees
deliberations concerning his own compensation under the Trump Executive Agreement. See Executive Compensation; Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements; Donald J. Trump.



During 2002, we and our subsidiaries were involved in several
transactions, or series of similar transactions, in which the amount exceeds $60,000 and in which Mr. Trump had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Below is a brief description of such transactions. See Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions.



| |  |  | Trump Tower Lease.We lease office space in Trump Tower located in New York, New York for general, executive and administrative
purposes pursuant to a lease, dated November 1, 1996, as amended, with Trump Tower Commercial, LLC, an entity owned by Donald J. Trump. In 2002, we paid $67,750 under the lease. See Properties; New York City.

| |  |  | Use of Trumps Facilities.Beginning in late 1997, the Trump Atlantic City Properties began to utilize certain facilities owned by
Trump to entertain high-end customers. Management believes that the ability to utilize these facilities enhances THCRs revenues. In 2002, we paid an aggregate amount of $826,000 in consideration for the use of these facilities.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which EBITDA exceeds prescribed amounts. In 2002, Marina Associates paid TCI-II $3,454,000 under the Castle Services Agreement. In connection with the TCH Note Offering, Mr. Trump agreed to terminate the Castle Services Agreement; provided, however,
that any incentive compensation earned under the Castle Services Agreement in respect of 2002 but payable thereafter shall remain payable. The Company and Mr. Trump intend to restructure his compensation arrangements in the near future. In
connection with any new compensation arrangements that may be entered into with Mr. Trump, it is anticipated that all or a portion of such compensation will be allocated among our operating subsidiaries under the Casino Services Agreement. See
Business; Certain Agreements; Casino Services Agreement. See Executive Compensation; Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements; Donald J. Trump.

Changes in Control



The equity in, and substantially all of the assets of, the
Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza are pledged as collateral under the indenture governing the TAC Notes. An uncured default under the indenture could cause a change of control of Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza.



The equity in, and substantially all of the assets of, Trump
Marina and Trump Indiana and the fees payable to Trump 29 Services under the management agreement with the Tribe are pledged as collateral under the indentures governing the TCH Notes that were recently issued. An uncured default under the
indentures could cause a change of control of Trump Marina and Trump Indiana as well as Trump 29 Services losing the management fees payable under the management agreement with the Tribe.



Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans



From time to time, we issue stock options to our executive
officers, directors and employees pursuant to our 1995 Stock Incentive Plan. The 1995 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by our stockholders in 1995 and amended in 1996 to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder to four million. See
Executive Compensation; 1995 Stock Incentive Plan for a further discussion.

TCH Notes were issued. See Executive Compensation; Committees of the Board of Directors. Generally, affiliated party transactions
are required to be on terms as favorable as they would be with unaffiliated parties, and require the approval of a majority of our independent directors, Messrs. Wallace B. Askins, Don M. Thomas, Peter M. Ryan and Robert J. McGuire.



Described below are brief descriptions of transactions, or
series of similar transactions, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction or similar transactions, to which we (or any of our subsidiaries) were or are to be a party, in which the amount exceeds $60,000 and
in which any of our directors, executive officers, security holders who beneficially own more than five percent of our voting securities, and any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had, or will have, a direct or indirect
material interest:



| |  |  | Trump Tower Lease.We lease office space in Trump Tower located in New York, New York for general, executive and administrative

| |  |  | Use of Trumps Facilities.Beginning in late 1997, the Trump Atlantic City Properties began to utilize certain facilities owned by
Trump to entertain high-end customers. Management believes that the ability to utilize these facilities enhances THCRs revenues. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, THCR incurred approximately $0.8 million in customer and
management costs associated with utilizing these facilities. In exchange for having Trumps personal airplane available to customers of the Trump Atlantic City Properties, THCR incurred pilot costs of approximately $0.3 million for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

| |  |  | Castle Services Agreement.    On December 28, 1993, Marina Associates (then known as Trumps Castle Associates, L.P.) entered into a
services agreement, or the Castle Services Agreement, with Trump Casinos II, Inc., or TCI-II, an entity wholly-owned by Mr. Trump. Pursuant to the Castle Services Agreement, TCI-II agreed to provide Marina Associates consulting services on a
non-exclusive basis, relating to marketing, advertising, promotion and other services regarding the business and operations of Marina Associates, in exchange for certain fees to be paid in those years in which EBITDA exceeds prescribed amounts, as
discussed below. For purposes of calculating the fees pursuant to the Castle Services Agreement, EBITDA represents income from operations before depreciation, amortization, refinancing costs and the non-cash write-downs of CRDA investments.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Under the Castle Services
Agreement, the Partnership was required to pay TCI-II an annual fee of $1.5 million for each year in which EBITDA exceeded $50 million. If EBITDA in any fiscal year did not exceed such amount, no annual fee was due. In addition to the annual
fee, TCI-II was entitled to receive an incentive fee in an amount equal to 10% of EBITDA in excess of $45 million for such fiscal year. Pursuant to the Castle Services Agreement, Mr. Trump earned approximately $2.3 million, $2.2 million and $3.5
million, based on Marina Associates EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2002 and 2002, respectively. In connection with the TCH Note Offering, Mr. Trump has agreed to terminate the Castle Services Agreement. See Executive
Compensation; Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements; Donald J. Trump.



| |  |  | Trademark License Agreement.Subject to certain restrictions, we have the exclusive world-wide right to use the Trump
name and Mr. Trumps likeness in connection with gaming and related activities pursuant to a trademark license agreement, dated June 12, 1995, and the amendments thereto, between Mr. Trump, as licensor, and THCR, as licensee. Pursuant to the

We, in turn, allow our subsidiaries to use the Trump Names under various parol licenses which do not create enforceable licenses. The license agreement, however, does not restrict Mr. Trumps right to use or further license the Trump Names in
connection with services and products other than casino services and related products. Under the trademark license agreement, THCR and Mr. Trump have agreed to indemnify each other against any damages, liability, costs, claims, fees, obligations or
expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred in defense of any action under the trademark license agreement, provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify and hold the other party harmless shall not include any

time as the stockholders of THCR approve such issuance. See Business; Recent Events; TCH Note Offering.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



To Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc.:



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed
in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit. The financial
statements and schedule of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and for each of the two years in the period then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements and schedule in their report dated March 13, 2002.



We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the 2002 financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. at December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



To Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P.:



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P. as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners capital and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule
listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the management of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
and schedule based on our audit. The financial statements and schedule of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P. as of December 31, 2001 and for each of the two years in the period then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased
operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and schedule in their report dated March 13, 2002.



We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the 2002 financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P. at December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



DECEMBER 31, 2002



(1)    Organization and Operations



The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
those of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. (THCR or Company), a Delaware corporation, and Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (THCR Holdings), and Subsidiaries.
THCR Holdings is an entity which is currently owned approximately 63.4% by THCR as both a general and limited partner, and approximately 36.6% by Donald J. Trump (Trump), as a limited partner. Trumps limited partnership interest in
THCR Holdings represents his economic interests in the assets and operations of THCR Holdings. Such limited partnership interest is convertible at Trumps option into 13,918,723 shares of THCRs common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
THCR Common Stock) (subject to certain adjustments), and if converted, would give Mr. Trump ownership of 44.5% of the THCR Common Stock (including his current share ownership) or 46.8% (assuming currently exercisable options held by Mr.
Trump were exercised). Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of (i) THCR and its 63.4% owned subsidiary, THCR Holdings, and (ii) THCR Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries:



| |  |  | Trump Atlantic City Associates (Trump AC) and its subsidiaries: Trump Plaza Associates (Plaza Associates), Trump Taj Mahal Associates
(Taj Associates), Trump Atlantic City Funding, Inc. (Trump AC Funding), Trump Atlantic City Funding II, Inc. (Trump AC Funding II), Trump Atlantic City Funding III, Inc. (Trump AC Funding III),
Trump Atlantic City Corporation (TACC), and Trump Casino Services, L.L.C. (Trump Services), which discontinued operations on December 31, 2000. Plaza Associates owns and operates the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino
(Trump Plaza) located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Taj Associates owns and operates the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (the Taj Mahal), located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Taj Associates was acquired on April 17, 1996.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trump Indiana, Inc. (Trump Indiana) owns and operates a riverboat gaming facility at Buffington Harbor, on Lake Michigan, Indiana (the Indiana
Riverboat).
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trumps Castle Associates, L.P. (Castle Associates) owns and operates Trump Marina Hotel Casino (Trump Marina) located in Atlantic City,
New Jersey.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Funding, Inc. (THCR Funding).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | THCR Enterprises, LLC (THCR Enterprises)
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | THCR Management Services, L.L.C. (THCR Management) is the manager of Trump 29 Casino.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



THCRs primary activity is gaming. THCR, THCR Holdings
and THCR Funding have no operations and their ability to service their debt is dependent on the successful operations of Trump AC, Trump Indiana and Castle Associates. The Registrants ability to service their debt is also dependent upon the
management fees generated pursuant to the Trump 29 Management Agreement. THCR, through THCR Holdings and its subsidiaries, is the exclusive vehicle through which Trump engages in new gaming activities in emerging or established gaming jurisdictions.



As shown in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows, THCR has consistently generated sufficient cash for debt service and operating requirements. Management believes that, based upon its cash flow forecast for 2003, THCR and its consolidated subsidiaries will have sufficient
cash flows to meet their respective debt service and operating requirements throughout 2003. See Note 13.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)





All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Organization and Basis of Presentation



THCR has no operations, except for its ownership of Plaza Associates, Taj Associates, Castle Associates,
Trump Indiana and the management of Trump 29 Casino. A substantial portion of THCRs revenues are derived from its gaming operations. Competition in the Atlantic City and Indiana casino markets is intense and management believes that this
competition will continue as more casinos are opened and new entrants into the gaming industry become operational.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.



Revenue Recognition



Gaming revenues represent the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Revenue from hotel and other services are recognized at the time the related services are performed.



THCR provides an allowance for doubtful accounts arising from
casino, hotel and other services, which is based upon a specific review of certain outstanding receivables as well as historical collection information. In determining the amount of the allowance, management is required to make certain estimates and
assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.



Promotional Allowances



The retail value of accommodations, food, beverage and other services provided to customers without charge is included in gross revenue and deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated
departmental costs of providing such promotional allowances are included in gaming costs and expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and consist of:

Property and Equipment



Property and equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line method using rates based on the following estimated useful lives:



|Buildings and building improvements |  | 40 years  
|----------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Riverboat                           |  | 30 years

Investment in Buffington Harbor Riverboats, L.L.C.



THCR accounts for its investment in the Buffington Harbor Riverboats, L.L.C. (BHR) (a 50% joint
venture between Trump Indiana and the Majestic Star Casino, L.L.C. (Barden)) under the equity method of accounting. Trump Indiana and Barden formed BHR and have entered into an agreement (the BHR Agreement) relating to the
joint ownership, development and operation of all common land-based and waterside operations in support of each of Trump Indianas and Bardens separate riverboat casinos at Buffington Harbor. Trump Indiana and Barden are equally
responsible for the operating expenses of the common land-based facilities at the site. There can be no assurance that Trump Indiana and/or Barden will be able to fund their respective share of future capital contributions or operating expenses. In
accordance with the BHR Agreement, Trump Indiana and Barden pay berthing and other fees in an amount to cover the operating expenses of BHR. Berthing fees and other fees paid are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
statement of operations.



Selected financial
information of BHR is as follows:

In
September 2000, Buffington Harbor Parking Associates (BHPA) was formed as a 50/50 joint venture between Trump Indiana and an affiliate of Barden for the purpose of constructing and operating a parking garage. The estimated cost of the
parking garage, including the land, was approximately $25,000,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)





BHPA
separately leases the parking garage to each of (i) Trump Indiana pursuant to a parking lease, dated June 19, 2001 (the Trump Indiana Garage Lease), and (ii) Barden under a substantially identical lease agreement. The term of the Trump
Indiana Garage Lease is until December 31, 2018. The initial rent installment, paid by Trump Indiana for the Trump Indiana Garage Lease, was approximately $8.8 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In
addition, Trump Indiana is obligated to pay BHPA a monthly rent equal to (i) 50% of BHPAs debt service on the $17.1 million financing (the Financing) to build the parking garage and (ii) 50% of any construction costs incurred by
BHPA in excess of the net proceeds of the Financing. In the event either party defaults on its rental obligation under its garage lease with BHPA, the other party will be obligated to pay rent in an amount sufficient to satisfy 100% of BHPAs
debt service obligations on the Financing. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $829,000. No rent expense was incurred in prior years as the parking garage was completed in 2002.



Long-Lived Assets



The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144) requires, among other things, that an entity review its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company does not believe that any such changes have occurred.



Income Taxes



The accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes since (i) THCR has net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $ 353,000,000 for which a full valuation allowance has been provided due to the uncertainty of the NOL carryforwards realization, (ii) Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates
are taxed as partnerships for federal income tax purposes and therefore income or losses are allocated to the partners and are reportable for federal income tax purposes by the partners, and (iii) Trump Indiana, a C Corporation for federal income
tax purposes, had sufficient net operating loss carryforwards to fully offset taxable income generated during 2002.



Under the New Jersey Casino Control Act (the Casino Control Act), Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates are
required to file New Jersey corporation business tax returns. As of December 31, 2002, Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $195,000,000, $131,000,000 and $109,000,000
respectively, for New Jersey state income tax purposes. The net operating loss carryforward results in a state deferred tax asset, net of federal benefit, of $29,145,000, which has been offset by a valuation allowance of $29,145,000 as utilization
of such carryforward is not certain.



On July 3,
2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Business Tax Reform Act (the Act). This Act, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction
of a new Alternative Minimum Assessment under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on either gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Act is retroactive to January 1, 2002. In accordance with the Act, the Company has recorded a
provision for current income tax expense of $4,968,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.



Advertising Expense



The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $14,055,000, $12,022,000 and $11,704,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.



Statements of Cash Flows



For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include hotel and casino funds, funds on deposit with banks and temporary investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Stock-based Compensation Plans



THCR has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 7. The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and related interpretations in accounting for those plans. For stock options, no compensation expense is reflected in net income as all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common
stock on the date of grant. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock plans under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. Pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the pro forma results for any future period. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures,
the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123:

Basic
and Diluted Loss Per Share



Basic earnings
(loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of THCR Common Stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the impact of common stock options using the treasury stock method unless such options are anti-dilutive. The
shares of THCRs Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share (the THCR Class B Common Stock), owned by Trump have no economic interest and therefore are not considered in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In July 2001, the FASB issued
Statement No. 141 Business Combinations (SFAS 141) and Statement No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 is effective as follows: a) use of the pooling-of-interest method is
prohibited for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001; and b) the provisions of SFAS 141 also apply to all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30,2001. SFAS 142 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in an entitys statement of financial position at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. The effect
of adoption of these pronouncements did not have any impact on the Company.



In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This standard addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have an impact on the
Companys financial results.

In August
2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The standard is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and the effect of adoption had no impact to the Company.



In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 requires, among other items, gains or losses of extinguishment of debt to be classified as income (loss) from continuing operations rather than as an extraordinary item as
previously required under SFAS No. 4 unless such extinguishment is determined to be extraordinary pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Transactions. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 during 2002, and the effect of adoption was not material to the Company but required a
reclassification to the gain on purchase of Senior Notes during 2000.



In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This pronouncement, which nullifies EITF 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit on Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring), addresses the accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and is effective for exit or disposal
activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34
(FIN No. 45). The interpretation requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the entity must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that obligation. This interpretation is intended to improve the
comparability of financial reporting by requiring identical accounting for guarantees issued with separately identified consideration and guarantees issued without separately identified consideration. For the company, the initial recognition,
measurement provision and disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, adoption of FIN No. 45 will have on its consolidated
financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46). This interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient subordinated financial support from other parties.
FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For existing variable interest entities, the consolidated
requirement is effective for interim or annual financial statements beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is evaluating whether it has any variable interest entities, which will be subject to consolidation pursuant to FIN No. 46.



Deferred Financing Costs



Deferred financing costs associated with the issuance of debt
are being amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the related debt.

Other
Assets



Plaza Associates is appealing a real
estate tax assessment by the City of Atlantic City. As of December 31, 2001 and 2002, other assets include $8,014,000, which Plaza Associates believes will be recoverable on the settlement of the appeal.



Included in other assets is a $1,822,000 payment for sales and
use tax assessed on Trump Indianas riverboat vessel, which is being appealed. The Company made this payment in 2002 in order to avoid incurring interest and penalties while this matter is under appeal. Trump Indianas appeal is based on
the fact that it pays property taxes on the riverboat vessel as the vessel was determined to be real property by the taxing authority, and therefore, not susceptible to a use tax. Management believes that the amount will be fully recoverable upon
settlement of the appeal.



Minority Interest



Minority interest represents the
approximate 37% interest held by Trump.



Reclassifications



During
2002, the Company reclassified certain costs (primarily bus coin) from gaming expenses to promotional allowances to be consistent with prevailing industry practice. The prior year amount of $33,959,000 and $27,098,000 for the years ended December
31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.



Certain other reclassifications and disclosures have been made to the prior year financial statements in order to conform to the 2002
presentation.

the ability of Trump AC and its subsidiaries to make distributions or to pay dividends, as the case may be, unless certain financial ratios are achieved. In addition, the ability of Plaza Associates and Taj Associates to make payments of dividends
or distributions (except for payment of interest) through Trump AC to THCR Holdings may be restricted by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the CCC).

proceeds from the Term Credit Facility were used to redeem the $62,000,000 101⁄4% Senior Secured Notes due 2003 (the Castle Senior Notes) and the $5,000,000 101⁄4% Working Capital Loan due 2003 (the Castle Working Capital

|(g) |  | On April 27, 2001, Trump Indiana entered into a loan agreement with a bank group for $27,500,000. Proceeds from the loan were used to pay off maturing debt for the
vessel, the hotel, a $5,000,000 bridge loan and provide working capital. As a result of an interest rate swap arrangement entered into contemporaneously with the bank loan, this debt bears a fixed rate of interest of 8.85% on $10,000,000 of
principal, and a floating rate applies to the balance of the loan. At December 31, 2001 and 2002, the rate on the floating portion was a blended 5.44% and 5.77%, respectively. The loan amortizes based upon an assumed 84 month term and matures with a
balloon payment payable at the end of 60 months.
|--- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At December 31, 2002, the Companys derivative financial
instruments consisted of an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $10,000,000, which effectively converts an equal portion of its debt from a floating to a fixed rate. The interest rate swap qualifies as a cash flow hedge pursuant to SFAS No.
133, which allows the Company to record gains and losses in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)





The
ability of THCR to repay its long-term debt when due will depend on the ability of Plaza Associates, Taj Associates, Castle Associates and Trump Indiana to generate cash from operations sufficient for such purposes or on the ability of THCR to
refinance such indebtedness. Cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to repay a substantial portion of the principal amount of the indebtedness upon maturity. The future operating performance and the ability to refinance such indebtedness
will be subject to the then prevailing economic conditions, industry conditions and numerous other financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of THCR. There can be no assurance that the future operating performance
of Plaza Associates, Taj Associates, Castle Associates or Trump Indiana will be sufficient to meet these repayment obligations or that the general state of the economy, the status of the capital markets generally or the receptiveness of the capital
markets to the gaming industry will be conducive to refinancing or other attempts to raise capital.



The various debt agreements restrict the ability of THCR Holdings and its subsidiaries to make distributions or pay dividends unless
certain financial ratios are achieved. In addition, the ability of Plaza Associates, Taj Associates or Castle Associates to make payments to THCR Holdings may be restricted by the CCC. Similarly, the ability of Trump Indiana to make distributions or
pay dividends to THCR Holdings may be restricted by the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC).



The aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 2002 (after refinancing discussed in Note 13) are as follows:

Certain of
these leases contain options to purchase the leased properties at various prices throughout the leased terms.



Employment Agreements



As of December 31, 2002 THCR had employment agreements with certain key employees with aggregate commitments of approximately $21,275,000.
These commitments mature at various dates through 2006.



CAFRA Agreement



Taj
Associates received a permit under the Coastal Area Facilities Review Act (CAFRA) (which included a condition of Taj Associates casino license) that initially required Taj Associates to begin construction of certain improvements on
the Steel Pier by October 1992, which improvements were to be completed within 18 months of commencement. Taj Associates initially proposed a concept to improve the Steel Pier, the estimated cost of which was $30,000,000. Such concept was approved
by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the agency which administers CAFRA. In March 1993, Taj Associates obtained a modification of its CAFRA permit providing for the extension of the required commencement and completion dates of
the improvements to the Steel Pier for one year, which has been renewed annually, based upon an interim use of the Steel Pier as an amusement park. The pier sublease terminates on December 31, 2003 unless extended.



New Jersey Casino License Renewal



The operation of an Atlantic City hotel and casino is subject
to significant regulatory controls which affect virtually all of its operations. Under the Casino Control Act, Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates are required to maintain certain licenses. Casino licenses must be renewed
periodically, are not transferable, are dependent on the financial stability of the licensee and can be revoked at any time.



In June 1999, the CCC renewed Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates licenses to operate Trump Plaza,
Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Marina and Trump Services. The CCC is in the process of reviewing each casino license for the next four year period from 2003 to 2007. Upon revocation, suspension for more than 120 days, or failure to renew a casino license,
the Casino Control Act provides for the mandatory appointment of a conservator to take possession of the hotel and casinos business and property, subject to all valid liens, claims and encumbrances.



Indiana Gaming Regulations



The ownership and operation of riverboat gaming operations in
Indiana are subject to strict state regulations under the Riverboat Gambling Act (the Act) and the administrative rules promulgated thereunder. The Company is required to renew its riverboat owners license with the IGC on an annual
basis. In June 2002, the IGC granted Trump Indiana a riverboat owners license, which was renewed until June 2003. The IGC may place restrictions, conditions or requirements on the permanent riverboat owners license. An owners
initial license expires five years after the effective date of the license, and unless the owners license is terminated, expires or is revoked, the owners license may be renewed annually by the IGC upon satisfaction of certain conditions
contained in the Act. The IGC has adopted certain rules and has published others in proposed or draft form which are proceeding through the review and final adoption process. The IGC also has indicated its interest to predict what effect, if any,
the amendment of existing rules or the finalization of new rules might have on the operations of Trump Indiana.

Trump
Indiana Certificate of Suitability and City of Gary Development Agreement



As a condition to the Certificate of Suitability, Trump Indiana has committed to invest approximately $153,000,000 in the Indiana Riverboat, including certain related projects of the City of Gary,
Indiana. Failure to comply with the foregoing conditions and/or failure to continue riverboat operations as required by the IGC may result in revocation of the Certificate of Suitability. There can be no assurance that Trump Indiana will be able to
comply with the terms of the Certificate of Suitability. As part of the $153,000,000 commitment discussed above, Trump Indiana is obligated to fund $21,000,000 of specific economic development and infrastructure projects of the City of Gary. This
obligation has been fully accrued over the five-year license period and approximately $3,700,000, $668,000 and $0 has been charged to operations during the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2002,
$4,975,000 remains payable to the City of Gary related to the total $153,000,000 commitment discussed above. During 1998, Trump Indiana deposited $10,000,000 for a surety bond which guarantees these mandated infrastructure payments. This amount has
been reduced as improvements have been made, and approximately $1,800,000 (including interest) remains and is recorded as an other current asset in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2002. Trump Indiana anticipates additional funding of
$3,175,000 to complete the remaining commitment to the City of Gary will be made in 2003.



In addition, Trump Indiana established the Trump Indiana Foundation (Foundation), a private foundation founded for charitable purposes primarily within the City of Gary and Lake County,
Indiana. Trump Indiana initially funded $1,000,000 to the Foundation and is required to make annual contributions of $100,000 which have been charged to operations.



Indiana Wagering Tax Add-back



In July 1999, the Indiana Department of Revenue (Department) issued a Letter of Findings to an
Indiana gaming company that the Riverboat Wagering Tax (RWT), a tax deducted in computing Federal taxable income is not deductible when computing Indiana adjusted gross income because the RWT represents a tax that is based on or
measured by income. The entity that received the Letter of Findings, with the assistance of the Indiana Casino Association, of which Trump Indiana is a member, is vigorously contesting this finding in the Indiana Tax Court on the basis that
the RWT is an excise tax, which is excluded from Indianas add-back requirements. The Department has issued proposed assessments of $3,720,000 plus interest for the 1996, 1997 and 1998 calendar years to Trump Indiana. The Company has estimated
that the amount of the potential exposure for the period of 1999 through 2002, including interest is approximately $9,098,000. Trump Indiana filed a written protest of assessments with the Department in November 2000 and plans to contest this matter
vigorously. Management believes that it has meritorious legal defense to the assessment and, accordingly, no provision has been made in these financial statements for additional Indiana State taxes. It is reasonably possible that the Companys
estimates related to this matter may change in the near term.



The Department has agreed to stay further proceedings against Trump Indiana with respect to this matter until the Indiana Tax Court case noted above is resolved. A summary judgment motion hearing of the Tax Court was held in April
2001 and the findings of the Tax Court are pending.



Indiana Gaming Taxes



Under Indianas gaming law prior to August 5, 2002, a tax was imposed on admissions to gaming excursions at a rate of $3 for each person admitted to the gaming excursion. Beginning on August 5, 2002, under Indianas gaming
law, a $3 tax is imposed on admission to the gaming facility and no longer per excursion. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, the Company paid admission fees of approximately $9,034,000, $9,496,000 and $7,975,000, respectively.

Legal
Proceedings



THCR and its subsidiaries,
certain members of its former Executive Committee, and certain of its employees have been involved in various legal proceedings. In general, THCR has agreed to indemnify such persons against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including
reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) and liabilities (including amounts paid or incurred in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties) incurred by them in said legal proceedings.



Various legal proceedings are now pending against THCR and its
subsidiaries. THCR considers all such proceedings to be ordinary litigation incident to the character of its business. THCR believes that the resolution of these claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition or results of operations.



Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates are also a party to various administrative proceedings involving allegations that they have violated certain provisions of the Casino Control Act. Plaza Associates, Taj
Associates and Castle Associates believe that the final outcome of these proceedings will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on their financial condition, results of operations or on their ability to
otherwise retain or renew any casino or other licenses required under the Casino Control Act for the operation of the respective properties.



Commencing in early 1994, THCR, through its Indiana counsel, had discussions with eight Indiana residents regarding the potential purchase
by such residents of 7.5% of the nonvoting stock of Trump Indiana. These residents have asserted a right to purchase 7.5% of the stock of Trump Indiana. During 1997, Trump Indiana settled with four of the eight plaintiffs for a total of $1,407,000.
The final settlement amount of $150,000 was paid in 2001. During 1998, Trump Indiana settled with two of the remaining four plaintiffs for a total of $810,000, of which $130,000 was paid in 1999 and 2000. A final payment of $130,000 was paid in
2002.



During 1999, the remaining two plaintiffs
commenced litigation. On March 3, 1999 consequential damages were assessed by the United States District Court against Trump Indiana for breach of contract in the total amount of $1,334,000 and the Company recorded a charge to operations for this
matter during 1999. In June 2001, the United States Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the lower courts ruling and remanded the case back to the United States District Court for another trial. On September 3, 2002, the United States
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit summarily affirmed the entry of final judgment by the United States District Court in favor of Trump Indiana, Inc. Plaintiffs Petitions for Rehearing of this decision were also summarily denied by the
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on October 17, 2002. The deadline for further appealing these decisions has expired. As a result, the March 3, 1999 verdict in favor of the plaintiffs and against Trump Indiana, Inc. in the of amount of $1,334,000
has been reversed and final judgment has been entered on behalf of the Company; accordingly, the Company reversed the liability previously recorded in 1999 and recorded a non-operating gain of $1,334,000 in the accompanying 2002 statement of
operations.



Self-Insurance Reserves



Self-insurance reserves represent the
estimated amounts of uninsured claims related to employee health medical costs, workmens compensation and personal injury claims that have occurred in the normal course of business. These reserves are established by management based upon
specific review of open claims, with consideration of incurred but not reported claims as of the balance sheet date. Actual results may differ from these reserve amounts.

Federal
Income Tax Examination



Plaza Associates,
Castle Associates and Taj Associates are currently involved in examinations with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning Plaza Associates and Castle Associates federal partnership income tax returns for the tax years
1993 through 1996 and Taj Associates federal partnership income tax returns for the tax years 1994 and 1996. While any adjustment which results from this examination could affect Plaza Associates, Castle Associates and Taj
Associates state income tax returns, Plaza Associates, Castle Associates and Taj Associates do not believe that adjustments, if any, will have a material adverse effect on their financial condition or results of operations.



Trump Indiana is currently undergoing an IRS examination for
the years 1995 to 1997. Although the outcome of the examination is not complete, the Company believes there will be no material adverse effect on Trump Indianas financial condition or results of operation.



Casino Reinvestment Development Authority Obligations



Pursuant to the provisions of the Casino
Control Act, Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates must either obtain investment tax credits (as defined in the Casino Control Act), in an amount equivalent to 1.25% of its gross casino revenues, or pay an alternative tax of 2.5% of
its gross casino revenues (as defined in the Casino Control Act). Investment tax credits may be obtained by making qualified investments or by the purchase of bonds at below market interest rates from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority
(CRDA). Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates intend on satisfying their obligations primarily by depositing funds and donations of funds deposited. Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates are required to
make quarterly deposits with the CRDA based on 1.25% of their gross revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, THCR charged to operations $5,970,000, $5,276,000 and $4,818,000 respectively, to give effect to the below market
interest rates associated with CRDA bonds that have either been issued or are expected to be issued from funds deposited. From time to time, Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates have elected to donate funds they have on
deposit with the CRDA for various projects. Donations in the amounts of $9,689,000, $1,275,000 and $15,118,000 were made during the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. As a result of these donations, THCR charged the carrying
value to operations of $4,605,000, $596,000 and $9,988,000 during the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.



(5)    Employee Benefit Plans



THCR has a retirement savings plan (the Plan) for its nonunion employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Employees are eligible to contribute up to 20% of their earnings to the Plan in 2000, 2001 and 2002. THCR will match 50% of the first 6% of an eligible employees contributions in 2000, 2001 and 2002. In connection with this Plan, THCR recorded
charges of $4,856,000, $4,654,000 and $4,595,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.



Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates make payments to various trusteed multiemployer pension plans under industry-wide
union agreements. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, THCR may be liable for its share of unfunded liabilities, if any, if the plans are terminated. Pension expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 was $3,960,000,
$4,699,000 and $5,049,000, respectively.



THCR
provides no other material, post-retirement or post-employment benefits.

|(a) |  | In the normal course of business, THCR engages in various transactions with the other entities owned by Trump. Beginning in late 1997, THCRs Atlantic City
properties began to utilize certain facilities owned by Trump to entertain high-end customers. Management believes that the ability to utilize these facilities has enhanced THCR revenues. In 2000, 2001 and 2002, THCR incurred approximately $559,000,
$628,000 and $ 826,000 respectively, for customer and management costs associated with such utilization. In exchange for having Trumps plane available to customers of the Atlantic City properties, THCR has incurred pilot costs of approximately
$301,000, $302,000 and $ 315,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Trump Management Fee



Castle Associates has a Services Agreement (the Services Agreement) with Trump Casinos II, Inc. (TCI-II), a
corporation wholly owned by Trump. Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, TCI-II is obligated to provide Castle Associates, from time to time, when reasonably requested, consulting services on a non-exclusive basis, relating to marketing,
advertising, promotional and other similar and related services with respect to the business and operations of Castle Associates, including such other services as the managing partner of Castle Associates may reasonably request.



Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Castle Associates is
required to pay an annual fee in the amount of $1,500,000 to TCI-II for each year in which Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), as defined, exceeds $50,000,000. In addition if the annual fee is
attained, TCI-II is to receive an incentive fee equal to 10% of the excess EBITDA over $45,000,000 for such fiscal year.



For the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 Castle Associates incurred fees and expenses of $2,306,000, $2,207,000 and $3,454,000

under the Executive Agreement, Trump received a fee of $1,000,000 per year through June 30, 2000, plus reimbursement for expenses. Effective
July 1, 2000, the fee was increased to $1,500,000.



THCR and Trump are currently negotiating amendments to the compensation structure of Mr. Trump.



Riviera Holdings Corporation Option



On July 10, 2002, consistent with the Contribution Agreement, dated June 12, 1995, between Trump and THCR Holdings, Trump granted, at no
cost, to THCR Holdings a one-year option (the Option) to purchase Trumps 350,000 shares of common stock (the RHC Shares) of Riviera Holdings Corporation (RHC). RHC is the owner and operator of the Riviera
Hotel & Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Option is exercisable at a purchase price equal to the greater of: (i) Trumps cost of acquiring the RHC Shares ($2,275,000 plus incurred brokerage commissions) or (ii) the fair market value
of the RHC Shares based upon the 20 trading day average closing price of the shares of common stock of RHC as reported on the American Stock Exchange preceding the exercise of the Option. On July 10, 2002, Trump and THCR jointly filed a Schedule 13D
therein reflecting Trumps purchase of the RHC Shares and THCRs beneficial ownership of the RHC Shares by virtue of the Option.



(7)    Stock Incentive Plan



In connection with the June 1995 Offerings, the Board of Directors of THCR (the Board of Directors) adopted the 1995 Stock
Incentive Plan (the 1995 Stock Plan). Pursuant to the 1995 Stock Plan, directors, employees and consultants of THCR and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates who have been selected as participants are eligible to receive awards of
various forms of equity-based incentive compensation, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, restricted stock awards, performance units and phantom stock, and awards consisting of combinations of such incentives. The 1995
Stock Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors (the Stock Incentive Plan Committee).



Options granted under the 1995 Stock Plan may be incentive stock options (ISOs), within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or nonqualified stock options (NQSOs). The vesting, exercisability and exercise price of the options are determined by the Stock Incentive Plan Committee when the options
are granted, subject to a minimum price, in the case of ISOs, of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 1995 Stock Plan) of THCR Common Stock on the date of the grant and a minimum price, in the case of NQSOs, of the par value of the THCR Common
Stock.



The 1995 Stock Plan permits the Stock
Incentive Plan Committee to grant stock appreciation rights (SARs) either alone or in connection with an option. A SAR granted as an alternative or a supplement to a related stock option will entitle its holder to be paid an amount equal
to the fair market value of THCR Common Stock subject to the SAR on the date of exercise of the SAR, less the exercise price of the related stock option or such other price as the Stock Incentive Plan Committee may determine at the time of the grant
of the SAR (which may not be less than the lowest price which the Stock Incentive Plan Committee may determine under the 1995 Stock Plan for such stock option).



The 1995 Stock Plan also provides that phantom stock and performance unit awards may be settled in cash, at
the discretion of the Stock Incentive Plan Committee and if indicated by the applicable award agreement, on each date on which the shares of THCR Common Stock covered by the awards would otherwise have been delivered or become restricted, in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on such date.



Subject to adjustment in the event of changes in the outstanding stock or the capital structure of THCR, THCR has reserved 4,000,000 shares of THCR Common Stock for issuance under the 1995 Stock Plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



(11)    Twenty-Nine Palms Development



On April 27, 2000, as amended on March 28, 2002, THCR
Management entered into a management agreement (Management Agreement) with the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of California, a sovereign Native American nation (the  Tribe). On April 15, 2002, the
Management Agreement was approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission ( the NIGC), and on April 16, 2002, THCR Management commenced operating the Trump 29 Casino, a casino owned by the Tribe through its sole ownership of the Twenty
Nine Palms Enterprises Corporation, (Palms Enterprise), pursuant to the Management Agreement.



The Management Agreement provides that THCR Management will manage and direct all business and affairs in connection with the day-to-day
operation, management and maintenance (the Management Services) of the Tribes recently renovated and expanded casino renamed Trump 29 Casino, which opened on April 2, 2002. The term of the Management Agreement is for five years and
expires during April 2007. Commencing in April 2005, an affiliate of the Tribe has the option of buying-out THCR Management from the Management Agreement for an early termination fee as defined in the Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Management
Agreement, in consideration for the Management Services, THCR Management receives an annual fee based on a percentage of Net Revenues (as defined in the Management Agreement) for each year of the term (the Management Fee). Subject to the
rights of the Tribes lenders and payment of certain priority amounts under the Management Agreement, the management fee is payable monthly in amounts equal to the accrued management fee for the preceding month plus any accrued, unpaid amounts.
Management Fee revenue was $2,710,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. To assist the Tribe in the renovation of the Trump 29 Casino, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Development Company, LLC (THCR Development), a subsidiary of THCR
Holdings entered into a Gaming Facility Construction and Development Agreement(the Development Agreement), dated April 27, 2000, with the Tribe. Pursuant to the Development Agreement, THCR Development and the Palms Enterprise
constructed, furnished and equipped a gaming resort on the Tribes existing 75,000 square-foot casino. This construction was completed during 2002 with an additional wing including a casino floor and certain dining and entertainment facilities.



To enable the Tribe to complete the construction
and renovation of the Tribes casino, THCR Management agreed to act as a participant in the Tribes construction loan (the Tribe Construction Loan) committing to provide the Tribe with up to $15,800,000 of the $58,000,000 total
financing for the project. The Tribe Construction Loan bore interest at the prime rate (as defined) plus 1% and matured in August 2007. On November 2, 2001, THCR Management entered into a loan agreement with the Trust Company of the West and certain
affiliates thereof (the TCW Lenders), pursuant to which the TCW Lenders agreed to loan up to $18,800,000 to THCR Management to enable THCR Management to fund its participation in the Tribe Construction Loan and to pay related expenses
(the Management Loan).



On November
2, 2001, $11,000,000 of the $18,800,000 commitment under the Management Loan was advanced to THCR Management, of which approximately $8,300,000 was escrowed to fund the participation of THCR Management in the Tribe Construction Loan, and
approximately $2,700,000 was allocated to pay fees, expenses and to make required escrow deposits in connection with the Management Loan. During 2002, additional lender participants were added to the lending group funding the Tribe Construction Loan
and consequently, THCR Managements participation in the Tribe Construction Loan was reduced from $15,800,000 to $8,300,000. As of December 31, 2001, $3,535,000 of the $8,300,000 had been funded to the Tribe.



During 2002, THCR Management funded an additional $3,962,000
out of the escrow account to the Tribe in connection with the Tribe Construction Loan. On September 12, 2002, THCR Management assigned its interest

in the Tribes construction loan to a group of unrelated third-party lenders. The proceeds of such assignment were used by THCR
Management, together with the proceeds of a new $2.2 million loan described below, to satisfy THCR Managements outstanding indebtedness on the Management Loan. In connection with the repayment of the Management Loan, THCR Management wrote-off
approximately $1,700,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the Management Loan. The write-off of this amount is included in interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations.



On September 12, 2002, THCR Management entered into a $2.2
million loan agreement with First National Bank (FNB Loan). The FNB Loan bears interest at the rate of nine percent (9.0%) per annum and matures during April 2003. The FNB Loan is secured by a pledge of the management fee payable to THCR
Management under the Management Agreement. The outstanding balance on this loan as of December 31, 2002 was $1,268,000.

On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Business Tax Reform Act (the Act). This Act, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for
two years and the introduction of a new alternative minimum assessment amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Act is retroactive to January 1, 2002. In accordance with the Act,
the Company recorded a charge to tax expense of $3,718,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which represents the cumulative tax due from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002. This charge was recorded beginning in the period in which
the tax law was passed (third quarter) pursuant to the accounting literature in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

On March 25, 2003, Trump Casino Holdings, LLC

Trump Indiana and THCR Management, became wholly owned subsidiaries of TCH. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes was approximately $450,000,000 and was used to redeem all of the outstanding principal balance of the Castle Mortgage Notes
due in 2003, the PIK Notes not held by THCR, the Term Credit Facility, a portion of the Senior Notes, the FNB Loan and a portion of the Trump Indiana Notes. The remaining portion of the Senior Notes was retired through the issuance of 1,500 shares
