                                   (unaudited)

(1) Organization and Operations

      The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include those
      of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("THCR"),
      Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited
      partnership ("THCR Holdings"), and subsidiaries, including Trump Hotels &
      Casino Resorts Funding, Inc. ("THCR Funding"). 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. Accordingly, 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 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") and Trump Taj Mahal
            Associates ("Taj Associates"). 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"), which commenced operations on
            June 8, 1996, 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"), which was
            acquired on October 7, 1996. Castle Associates owns and operates
            Trump Marina Hotel Casino ("Trump Marina") located in Atlantic City,
            New Jersey.

            THCR Funding, the co-issuer of $145,000,000 15 1/2% Senior Secured
            Notes, due 2005 (the "Senior Notes").

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

            The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented, have been made.

            The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and note
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

            These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997
filed with the SEC.

            The casino industry in Atlantic City is seasonal in nature;
accordingly, results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

            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. 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.

      Basic Loss Per Share

            In the fourth quarter of 1997, THCR adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards Board, Statement No. 128 "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No.
128"). SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation in the consolidated statement of
operations for all years presented of both basic and dilutive earnings per
share. Basic and dilutive loss per share calculated under this Statement does
not differ from earnings per share reported in prior periods.

            Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of THCR Common Stock outstanding. Dilutive earnings per share are the
same as basic earnings per share as common stock equivalents have not been
included as they would be 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.

      Reclassifications 

            Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) Property and Equipment

      During the second quarter of 1997, THCR revised its estimates of the
useful lives of buildings, building improvements, furniture and fixtures which
were acquired in 1996. Building and building improvements were reevaluated to
have a forty year life and furniture and fixtures were determined to have a
seven year life. During the third quarter of 1997, Trump Indiana revised its
estimates of the useful life of the riverboat and its improvements from fifteen
to thirty years. THCR believes these changes more appropriately reflect the
timing of the economic benefits to be received from these assets during their
estimated useful lives. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the net
effect of applying these new lives was to decrease net loss by $2,300,000 and
decrease loss per share by $.11.

(3) Long-Term Debt

      On April 17, 1998, Trump's Castle Funding, Inc. refinanced its 11 1/2%
Senior Secured Notes due 2000 (the "Old Senior Notes") and its term loan with a
bank (the "Term Loan") by issuing 10 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2003 (the
"New Senior Notes"). The proceeds from the issuance of the New Senior Notes were
used to redeem all of the issued and outstanding Old Senior Notes at 100% of
their principal amount and to repay the Term Loan in full. In conjunction with
this refinancing, Trump's Castle Hotel & Casino Inc. ("TCHI"), a New Jersey
corporation and the general partner of Castle Associates, obtained a working
capital credit facility (the "Working Capital Loan"). Both the New Senior Notes
and the Working Capital Loan are guaranteed by Castle Associates.

      The New Senior Notes have an outstanding principal amount of $62,000,000
and bear interest at the rate of 10 1/4% per annum, payable semi-annually each
April and October. The New Senior Notes mature on April 17, 2003.

      The Working Capital Loan has an outstanding principal amount of $5,000,000
and bears interest at the rate of 10 1/4% per annum, payable semi-annually each
April and October. The entire principal balance of the Working Capital Loan
matures on April 17, 2003.

(5) Change in Accounting Policy

            On April 9, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5 "Reporting on the
Costs of Start-Up Activities". The new standard amends previous guidance from
the AICPA that permitted capitalization of start-up costs in certain industries
and requires that all nongovernmental entities expense the costs of start-up
activities as those costs are incurred. Under the SOP, the term "start-up" has
been broadly defined to include pre-operating, pre-opening and organization
activities. Companies must adopt the new standard in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998. At adoption, a company must record a cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle to write off any unamortized start-up costs
that existed as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the SOP is adopted
and an operating expense for those costs which were incurred and capitalized
since the beginning of the fiscal year and adoption of the SOP.

            THCR has not yet decided when it will adopt the new standard, but it
is not expected to be adopted earlier than the first quarter of 1999. Had THCR
adopted the new standard as of March 31, 1998, the net loss of $17,670,000 would
have increased by $355,000 for the effect of the write-off of first quarter
capitalized costs and $1,872,000 for the cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle to an adjusted net loss of $19,897,000. The corresponding
earnings per share effect would increase the net loss per share as reported of
$.79 by $.02 for the write-off of first quarter capitalized costs and $.08 for
the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle to an adjusted loss per
share of $.89.

ITEM 2--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Capital Resources and Liquidity

      Cash flows from operating activities are THCR's principal source of
liquidity and were $65,198,000 compared to $64,979,000 for the comparable period
in 1997.

      Capital expenditures for Trump AC were $3,308,000 and $19,268,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Capital expenditures
for improvements to Trump Plaza's existing facilities were $2,847,000 and
$4,253,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In
addition, in 1997, Plaza Associates exercised its option to purchase from
Seashore Four Associates, an entity beneficially owned by Trump, one of the
parcels of land underlying Trump Plaza's main tower, pursuant to the terms of a
lease, the payments under which were terminated upon the exercise of such
option. The purchase price and associated closing costs were $10,144,000.

      Capital expenditures attributable to the Taj Mahal were $175,000 and
$15,015,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Capital expenditures for improvements to existing facilities were approximately
$175,000 and $2,340,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Capital expenditures attributable to the expansion of the facility
were approximately $12,675,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

      The expansion at the Taj Mahal (the "Taj Mahal Expansion") consisted of
the construction of a new 14-bay bus terminal which was completed in December
1996, a 2,400 space expansion of the existing self parking facilities, which was
completed in May 1997, and an approximate 7,000 square-foot casino expansion
with 260 slot machines, which was completed in July 1997. The total costs of the
Taj Mahal Expansion including amounts expended in 1996 and 1997 were
approximately $43,500,000 and have been funded principally out of cash from
operations.

      Capital expenditures attributable to Castle Associates were $40,000 and
$584,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Capital expenditures attributable to Trump Indiana were $1,372,000 and $883,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Approximately
$15 million costs of hotel construction and other infrastructure improvements
will be applied towards satisfying the economic development commitment required
in connection with the Indiana licensing process. THCR is currently negotiating
with the Majestic Star Casino, L.L.C. ("Barden"), the other riverboat licensee
and joint owner with Trump Indiana of Buffington Harbor Riverboats, L.L. C.
("BHR"), and the City of Gary for the development of a 1,500 space parking
garage by BHR which would cost approximately $20 million.

      On April 17, 1998 Trump's Castle Funding, Inc. refinanced its 11 1/2%
Senior Secured Notes due 2000 (the "Old Senior Notes") and its term loan with a
bank (the "Term Loan") by issuing 10 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2003 (the
"New Senior Notes"). The proceeds from the issuance of the New Senior Notes were
used to redeem all of the issued and outstanding Old Senior Notes and 100% of
their principal amount and to repay the Term Loan in full. In conjunction with
this refinancing, Trump's Castle Hotel & Casino Inc., a New Jersey corporation
and the general partner of Castle Associates, obtained a working capital credit
facility (the "Working Capital Loan"). Both the New Senior Notes and the Working
Capital Loan are guaranteed by Castle Associates.

      The New Senior Notes have an outstanding principal amount of $62,000,000
and bear interest at the rate of 10 1/4% per annum, payable semi-annually each
April and October. The New Senior Notes mature on April 17, 2003.

      The Working Capital Loan has an outstanding principal amount of $5,000,000
and bears interest at the rate of 10 1/4% per annum, payable semi-annually each
April and October. The entire principal balance of the Working Capital Loan
matures on April 17, 2003.

      THCR has assessed the year 2000 issue and has begun implementing a plan to
resolve the issue, which is expected to be completed in early 1999. Based upon
management's assessment, it is anticipated that associated costs incurred to
satisfactorily complete the plan will not be material.

      The indenture governing the Senior Notes (the "Senior Note Indenture") as
well as indentures of the subsidiaries restrict the ability of THCR Holdings
and its subsidiaries to make distributions to partners or pay dividends, as the
case may be, unless certain financial ratios are achieved. Further, THCR's
future operating results are conditional and could fluctuate given the rapidly
changing competitive environment.

      In addition, the ability of Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle
Associates to make payments of dividends or distributions to THCR Holdings may
be restricted by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission ("CCC"). Similarly,
the ability of Trump Indiana to make payments of dividends or distributions to
THCR Holdings may be restricted by the Indiana Gaming Commission.

</TABLE>

      Gaming revenues are the primary source of THCR's revenues. Taj Associates'
year over year decrease in gaming revenues was due primarily to last year's
first quarter results which included an unusual approximately $8 million dollar
table game win from one premium player, contrasted against an unusually low
table game win percentage in the current year. Table games 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".
Decreases in revenue at Trump Indiana are attributed to the new facilities and
capacity added over the past year.

      Gaming costs and expenses were $186,364,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, a decrease of $12,439,000


                                       14
<PAGE>

or 6.3% from $198,803,000 from the comparable period in 1997. This decrease is
substantially proportionate to the decrease in gaming revenues from the
comparable period in 1997, and represent primarily marketing and promotional
costs.

      During the second quarter of 1997, THCR revised its estimates of the
useful lives of buildings, building improvements, furniture and fixtures which
were acquired in 1996. Building and building improvements were reevaluated to
have a forty year life and furniture and fixtures were determined to have a
seven year life. During the third quarter of 1997, Trump Indiana revised its
estimates of the useful life of the riverboat and its improvements from fifteen
to thirty years. THCR believes these changes more appropriately reflect the
timing of the economic benefits to be received from these assets during their
estimated useful lives. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the net
effect of applying these new lives was to decrease net loss by $2,300,000 and
decrease loss per share by $.11.

Seasonality

The casino industry in Atlantic City and Indiana is seasonal in nature;
accordingly, the results of operations for the period ending March 31, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      THCR and certain of its subsidiaries, affiliates and 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. Such persons and entities
are vigorously defending the allegations against them and intend to vigorously
contest any future proceedings.

      Plaza Associates. The CRDA is required to set aside funds for investment
in hotel development projects in Atlantic City undertaken by casino licensees
which result in the construction or rehabilitation of at least 200 hotel rooms.
These investments are to fund up to 27% of the cost to casino licensees of such
projects. In June 1993, ,Plaza Associates made application for such funding to
the CRDA with respect to its proposed construction of the Trump Plaza East
facilities, demolition of a certain structure adjacent thereto, development of
an appurtenant public park, roadway and parking area and acquisition of the
entire project site. The CRDA, in rulings through January 10, 1995, approved the
hotel development project and, with respect to same and pursuant to a credit
agreement between them, reserved to Plaza Associates the right to take
investment tax credits up to approximately $14.2 million. Plaza Associates has,
except for three small parcels discussed below, acquired the site and had
constructed and presently operates and maintains the proposed hotel tower,
public park, roadway and parking area.

      As part of its approval and on the basis of its powers of eminent domain,
the CRDA, during 1994, initiated certain condemnation proceedings in the
Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County, to acquire five small parcels of
land within the project site. Plaza Associates has since acquired two of the
parcels and proceedings with respect to those parcels have been concluded. The
proceedings with respect to the remaining three parcels, which, if acquired,
will be included in the public park and parking area of the project, are
currently pending and include a claim by the defendants that the CRDA did not
properly determine that the parcels were to be used for public purposes. The
CRDA motion seeking dismissal of this claim has been briefed and, in February
1998, argued by the parties. Additionally, with respect to the two parcels to be
included in the public park portion of the project, the CRDA, by a separate
motion, seeks an order that the Plaza Associates' application and credit
agreement be deemed amended so as to terminate the CRDA obligation to acquire
the two parcels and enabling the CRDA to abandon the condemnation proceedings
with respect to these two parcels. This motion was opposed by Plaza Associates.
By order dated April 1, 1998, the Court denied the motion but granted the CRDA
leave to amend its pleadings by a filing within 14 days from the date thereof to
formally assert a claim for specific performance of the alleged agreement. The
CRDA did not file any such amended pleading within this permitted time period.

      The defendants in two of the condemnation proceedings filed a separate
joint complaint in the New Jersey Superior Court alleging, among other claims,
that the CRDA and Plaza Associates are wrongfully attempting to deprive them of
property rights in violation of their constitutional and civil rights. Coking,
et al. v. Casino Reinvestment Development 


                                       15
<PAGE>

Authority, et al., Docket No. ATL-L-2555-97. The CRDA's motion for summary
judgment on the complaint and Plaza Associates' motion to dismiss it for failure
to state a claim were granted by the New Jersey Superior Court on October 24,
1997 and November 11, 1997.

      Other Litigation. On March 13, 1997, THCR filed a lawsuit in the United
States District Court, District of New Jersey, against Mirage Resorts
Incorporated ("Mirage"), the State of New Jersey ("State"), the New Jersey
Department of Transportation ("NJDOT"), the South Jersey Transportation
Authority ("SJTA"), the CRDA, the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority
and others. THCR was seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to recognize and
prevent violations by the defendants of the casino clause of the New Jersey
State Constitution and various federal securities and environmental laws
relating to proposed infrastructure improvements in the Atlantic City marina
area. While this action was pending, defendants State and the CRDA then filed an
action in the New Jersey State Court seeking declaration of the claim relating
to the casino clause of the New Jersey State Constitution. On May 1, 1997, the
United States District Court dismissed the federal claims and ruled that the
State constitutional claims should be pursued in State Court. On April 2, 1998,
the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal.
THCR has petitioned the Third Circuit for a rehearing. On May 14, 1997, the
State Court entered a summary judgement in favor of the State and the CRDA,
which was affirmed by the Appellate Division on March 20, 1998. THCR has filed a
Notice of Appeal in the State Supreme Court.

      On August 14, 1996, certain stockholders of THCR filed two derivative
actions in the Court of Chancery in Delaware (Civil Action Nos. 15148 and 15160)
(the "Delaware cases") against each of the members of the Board of Directors of
THCR, THCR, THCR Holdings, Castle Associates and Trump Casinos II, Inc.
("TCI-II"). The plaintiffs claim that the directors of THCR breached their
fiduciary duties in connection with the its acquisition of Castle Associates
("the Castle Acquisition") by purchasing these interests at an excessive price
in a self-dealing transaction. The complaint sought to enjoin the transaction,
and also sought damages and an accounting. The injunction was never pursued.
These plaintiffs served a notice of dismissal in the Delaware cases on December
29, 1997. The Court of Chancery has not yet ordered the Delaware cases
dismissed.

      On October 16, 1996, a stockholder of THCR filed a derivative action in
the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (96 Civ. 7820)
against each member of the Board of Directors of THCR, THCR, THCR Holdings,
Castle Associates, TCI, TCI-II, TCHI and Salomon Brothers, Inc. ("Salomon"). The
plaintiff claims that certain of the defendants breached their fiduciary duties
and engaged in ultra vires acts in connection with the Castle Acquisition and
that Salomon was negligent in the issuance of its fairness opinion with respect
to the Castle Acquisition. The plaintiff also alleges violations of the federal
securities laws for alleged omissions and misrepresentations in THCR's proxies,
and that Trump, TCI-II and TCHI breached the acquisition agreement by supplying
THCR with untrue information for inclusion in the proxy statement delivered to
THCR's stockholders in connection with the Castle Acquisition. The plaintiff
seeks removal of the directors of THCR, and injunction, rescission and damages.

      The Delaware cases were amended and refiled in the Southern District of
New York and consolidated with the federal action for all purposes, including
pretrial proceedings and trial. On or about January 17, 1997, the plaintiffs
filed their Consolidated Amended Derivative Complaint (the "First Amended
Complaint"), reflecting the consolidation. On or about March 24, 1997, the
plaintiffs filed their Second Consolidated Amended Derivative Complaint (the
"Second Amended Complaint"). In addition to the allegations made in the First
Amended Complaint, the Second Amended Complaint claims that certain of the
defendants breached their fiduciary duties and wasted corporate assets in
connection with the previously contemplated transaction with Colony Capital,
Inc. ("Colony Capital"). The Second Amended Complaint also includes claims
against Colony Capital for aiding and abetting certain of those violations. In
addition to the relief sought in the First Amended Complaint, the Second Amended
Complaint sought to enjoin the previously contemplated transaction with Colony
Capital or, if it was effectuated, to rescind it. On March 27, 1997, THCR and
Colony Capital mutually agreed to end negotiations with respect to such
transaction. On June 26, 1997, plaintiffs served their Third Consolidated
Amended Derivative Complaint (the "Third Amended Complaint"), which omitted the
claims against Colony Capital. THCR and the other defendants in the action moved
to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint on August 5, 1997. The plaintiffs opposed
the defendants' motions to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint by response dated
October 24, 1997. The defendants' reply was served December 9, 1997. By letter
dated April 2, 1998, the plaintiffs sought the Court's permission to amend
further the Third Amended Complaint to add certain additional factual
allegations. The defendants opposed the application and the Court has not yet
ruled on it.

      Trump Indiana. Commencing in early 1994, Trump Indiana (which was then
wholly owned by Trump), through its Indiana counsel, had discussions with eight
Indiana residents regarding the potential purchase by such residents of
non-voting stock of Trump Indiana, representing a total of 7.5% of the equity in
Trump Indiana. The purchase price of the stock was to have been paid with a
promissory note secured by the stock purchased, although the purchase price and
other 


                                       16
<PAGE>

material terms of the proposed purchase were never agreed upon. Such
discussions did not result in an agreement for, or the purchase of, any stock by
the residents. It was subsequently determined to include Trump Indiana as a
wholly owned subsidiary of THCR Holdings in connection with the June 1995
Offerings. The residents then asserted a right to purchase stock in Trump
Indiana. Trump Indiana and THCR did not agree with the residents' assertions of
any such rights with respect to the stock of Trump Indiana or otherwise, and so
advised the residents. Although discussions had been ongoing with respect to the
resolution of this matter, on March 29, 1996, in the matter entitled
Keshav D. Aggarwal, et. al. v. Donald J. Trump, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts,
Inc., Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P. and Trump Indiana, Inc., such
residents filed a complaint with respect to this matter in the United States
District Court, Southern District of Indiana, seeking, among other things,
compensatory and punitive damages in an unspecified amount and that the court
order the defendants to transfer ownership of 7.5% of Trump Indiana to the
plaintiffs. Trump, THCR, THCR Holdings and Trump Indiana filed an answer to the
complaint on May 31, 1996. Cross-motions for summary judgment have been filed by
all parties and a decision regarding each motion is expected in the near future.
In September 1997, a monetary settlement was reached between all defendants and
four of the plaintiffs. Recently, the remaining plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed
their demands for the transfer of ownership in Trump Indiana. A trial date has
been set for July 1998. THCR and the other defendants intend to vigorously
contest the allegations against them. Further, management believes that the
further resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on
THCR.

     Various other legal proceedings are now pending against THCR. Except as set
forth herein and in THCR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997, THCR considers all such proceedings to be ordinary litigation
incident to the character of its business and not material to its business or
financial condition. THCR believes that the resolution of these claims, to the
extent not covered by insurance, will not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations of THCR.
