                      TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC.,

                  TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS HOLDINGS, L.P.
                                       AND
                   TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS FUNDING, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (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. THCR Holdings and its
     subsidiaries, including Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Funding, Inc. ("THCR
     Funding"), is an entity which is currently owned approximately 61.8% by
     THCR, as a general partner, and approximately 38.2% 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 "THCR Common Stock"). The accompanying
     consolidated financial statements include those of (i) THCR and its 61.8%
     owned subsidiary, THCR Holdings, and (ii) THCR Holdings and its wholly
     owned subsidiaries:

          o    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.

          o    Trump Indiana, Inc. ("Trump Indiana"). Trump Indiana, which
               commenced operations on June 8, 1996, owns and operates a river
               boat gaming facility at Buffington Harbor, on Lake Michigan,
               Indiana (the "Indiana Riverboat").

          o    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.

          o    THCR Funding, the issuer of $145,000,000 15 1/2% Senior Secured
               Notes, (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. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

     The casino industry in Atlantic City is seasonal in nature; accordingly,
results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for a full year.

     THCR, THCR Holdings and THCR Funding commenced operations on June 12, 1995.
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.


(2) PUBLIC OFFERINGS AND MERGER

     On June 12, 1995, THCR completed a public offering of 10,000,000 shares of
its common stock at $14.00 per share (the "1995 Stock Offering") for gross
proceeds of $140,000,000. Concurrent with the 1995 Stock Offering, THCR
Holdings, together with its subsidiary, THCR Funding, issued 15 1/2% Senior
Notes due 2005 for gross proceeds of $155,000,000 (the "1995 Note Offering" and,
together with the 1995 Stock Offering, the "1995 Offerings"). From the proceeds
of the 1995 Stock Offering, THCR contributed $126,848,000 to THCR Holdings, in
exchange for an approximately 60% general partnership interest in THCR Holdings.

                                       AND
                   TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS FUNDING, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


     Prior to the 1995 Offerings, Trump was the sole stockholder of THCR and the
sole beneficial owner of THCR Holdings. Concurrent with the 1995 Offerings,
Trump contributed to THCR Holdings his 100% beneficial interest in Plaza
Associates. Trump also contributed to THCR Holdings all of his existing
interests and rights to new gaming activities in both emerging and established
gaming jurisdictions, including Trump Indiana but excluding his interests in Taj
Associates and Castle Associates. In exchange for his contributions to THCR
Holdings, Trump received an approximately 40% limited partnership interest in
THCR Holdings.

     On April 17, 1996, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended
(the "Taj Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of
THCR was merged (the "Taj Merger") with and into Taj Mahal Holding Corp., now
known as THCR Holding Corp. ("Taj Holding"), each outstanding share of Class A
Common Stock of Taj Holding (the "Taj Holding Class A Common Stock"), which in
the aggregate represented 50% of the economic interest in Taj Associates, was
converted into the right to receive, at each holder's election, either (a) $30
in cash or (b) that number of shares of THCR Common Stock having a market value
equal to $30. Trump held the remaining 50% interest in Taj Associates and
contributed such interest in Taj Associates to Trump AC in exchange for limited
partnership interests in THCR Holdings. In addition, the outstanding shares of
Taj Holding's Class C Common Stock, all of which were held by Trump, were
canceled in connection with the Taj Merger. The following transactions occurred
in connection with the Taj Merger (collectively referred to as the "Taj Merger
Transaction"):

          (a) the payment of an aggregate of $31,181,000 in cash and the
     issuance of 323,423 shares of THCR Common Stock to the holders of Taj
     Holding Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Taj Merger Agreement;

          (b) the contribution by Trump to Trump AC of all of his direct and
     indirect ownership interests in Taj Associates, and the contribution by
     THCR to Trump AC of all of its indirect ownership interests in Taj
     Associates acquired in the Taj Merger;

          (c) the public offerings by (i) THCR of 12,500,000 shares of THCR
     Common Stock (plus 750,000 shares of THCR Common Stock issued in connection
     with the partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) (the
     "1996 Stock Offering") for net proceeds of $386,062,000 and (ii) Trump AC
     and Trump Atlantic City Funding, Inc. ("Trump AC Funding") of
     $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11 1/4% First Mortgage Notes
     due 2006 (the "Trump AC Mortgage Notes") (together with the 1996 Stock
     Offering, the "1996 Offerings");

          (d) the redemption of the outstanding shares of Taj Holding's Class B
     Common Stock immediately prior to the Taj Merger for $.50 per share in
     accordance with its terms;

          (e) the redemption of the outstanding 11.35% Mortgage Bonds, Series A,
     due 1999 of Trump Taj Mahal Funding, Inc. (the "Taj Bonds");

          (f) the retirement of the outstanding 10 7/8% Mortgage Notes due 2001
     (the "Plaza Notes") of Trump Plaza Funding, Inc.;

          (g) the satisfaction of the indebtedness of Taj Associates under its
     loan agreement with National Westminster Bank USA ("Nat West");

          (h) the purchase of certain real property used in the operation of the
     Taj Mahal that was leased from a corporation wholly owned by Trump (the
     "Specified Parcels");

          (i) the purchase of certain real property used in the operation of
     Trump Plaza that was leased from an unaffiliated third party;

          (j) the payment to Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust") to obtain
     releases of liens and guarantees that Bankers Trust had in connection with
     indebtedness owed by Trump to Bankers Trust; and

                  TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS HOLDINGS, L.P.
                                       AND
                   TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS FUNDING, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

          (k) the issuance to Trump of warrants (the "Trump Warrants") to
     purchase an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of THCR Common Stock, (i) 600,000
     shares of which may be purchased on or prior to April 17, 1999 at $30 per
     share, (ii) 600,000 shares of which may be purchased on or prior to April
     17, 2000 at $35 per share and (iii) 600,000 shares of which may be
     purchased on or prior to April 17, 2001 at $40 per share.

     As a result of the contribution by Trump to Trump AC of his ownership
interests in Taj Associates and the contribution by THCR to Trump AC of its
indirect ownership interests in Taj Associates acquired in the Taj Merger,
together with THCR's contribution to THCR Holdings of the proceeds from the 1996
Stock Offering, Trump's aggregate beneficial equity interest in THCR Holdings
decreased from approximately 40% to approximately 25%, and THCR's aggregate
beneficial equity interest in THCR Holdings increased from approximately 60% to
approximately 75%.

     The Taj Merger Transaction has been accounted for as a "purchase" for
accounting and reporting purposes and the results of Taj Associates have been
included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of the Taj
Merger. Accordingly, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired ($200,782,000), which was allocated to land ($7,979,000) and
building ($192,803,000) based on an appraisal on a pro rata basis, consists of
the following:

          (a) $40,500,000, representing the payment of $30.00 for each of the
     1,350,000 shares of Taj Holding Class A Common Stock. Holders of 298,739
     shares of Taj Holding Class A Common Stock elected to receive 323,423
     shares of THCR Common Stock and holders of 1,051,261 shares of Taj Holding
     Class A Common Stock elected to receive $31,181,000 in cash;

          (b) $40,500,000, representing the contribution by Trump to Trump AC of
     his ownership interest in 50% of Taj Associates;

          (c) $9,900,000 of fees and expenses associated with the Taj Merger
     Transaction;

          (d) $108,574,000, representing the negative book value of Taj
     Associates at the date of the Taj Merger Transaction; and

          (e) $1,308,000 of closing costs associated with the purchase of the
     Specified Parcels.

     In connection with the Taj Merger Transaction, THCR purchased the Specified
Parcels from Trump Taj Mahal Realty Corp., a corporation owned by Trump, and Taj
Associates was released from its guarantee to First Union National Bank (the
"Guarantee"). The aggregate cost of acquiring the Specified Parcels was
$50,600,000 in cash and 500,000 shares of THCR Common Stock valued at
$10,500,000 (an average value of $21.00 per share based on the price of the THCR
Common Stock several days before and after the date of the amended Taj Merger
Agreement). The obligation of Taj Associates which had been accrued with respect
to the Guarantee ($17,923,000) was eliminated. In addition, THCR exercised the
option to purchase a tower adjacent to Trump Plaza's main tower ("Trump Plaza
East") for $28,084,000, which amount has been included in land and building.

     On October 7, 1996, THCR Holdings acquired from Trump all of his
outstanding equity interest in Castle Associates (the "Castle Acquisition")
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement dated as of June 24, 1996, as amended
(the "Agreement"), by and among THCR, THCR Holdings, Trump Casinos II, Inc.,
formerly known as TC/GP, Inc. ("TCI-II"), Trump's Castle Hotel & Casino, Inc.
("TCHI") and Trump.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

On October 7, 1996, the closing date of the Castle Acquisition, the following
transactions were effected:

          (a) Trump contributed to THCR Holdings his 61.5% equity interest in
     Castle Associates, in consideration for which he received a 9.52854%
     limited partnership interest in THCR Holdings, exchangeable into 3,626,450
     shares of THCR Common Stock (valuing each share at $28.80, based on the
     price of the THCR Common Stock several days before and after the date of
     the Agreement (the "THCR Stock Contribution Value"));

          (b) TCI-II contributed to THCR Holdings its 37.5% equity interest in
     Castle Associates, in consideration for which it received a 5.81009%
     limited partnership interest in THCR Holdings, exchangeable into 2,211,250
     shares of THCR Common Stock (valuing each share at the THCR Stock
     Contribution Value); and

          (c) THCR-TCHI Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
     subsidiary of THCR Holdings, merged with and into TCHI (holder of a 1%
     equity interest in Castle Associates) whereupon (i) each holder of common
     stock of TCHI and (ii) each holder of the outstanding warrants (the "Castle
     Warrants") received an aggregate of $1,769,000 in cash.

     In the aggregate, Trump received a limited partnership interest in THCR
Holdings convertible into 5,837,700 shares of THCR Common Stock. The
contribution by Trump of his equity interests was valued at $168,126,000
(valuing each share at the THCR Stock Contribution Value).

     The Castle Acquisition has been accounted for as a "purchase" for
accounting and reporting purposes and the results of Castle Associates have been
included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition.
Accordingly, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
assets acquired ($196,109,000) was allocated to land ($38,438,000) and building
($157,671,000) based on an appraisal on a pro rata basis, and consisted of the
following:

          (a) $168,126,000, representing the value assigned to the 5,837,700
     shares of THCR Common Stock received by Trump for the contribution of his
     equity interests;

          (b) $1,769,000 in cash, representing the amounts paid for the shares
     of TCHR's Common Stock and outstanding Castle Warrants;

          (c) $20,714,000, representing the negative book value of Castle
     Associates at the date of the Castle Acquisition; and

          (d) $5,500,000 of fees and expenses associated with the Castle
     Acquisition.

     As a result of the contribution by Trump to THCR Holdings of his ownership
interests in Castle Associates, Trump's aggregate beneficial equity interest in
THCR Holdings increased from approximately 25% to 36.6% and THCR's aggregate
beneficial equity interest in THCR Holdings decreased from approximately 75% to
approximately 63.4%.

     Unaudited pro forma information, assuming that the Taj Merger and the
Castle Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996, is as follows:

                      TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC.,

                  TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS HOLDINGS, L.P.
                                       AND
                   TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS FUNDING, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

     The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and
does not purport to present what the results of operations would have been had
the Taj Merger Transaction and the Castle Acquisition, in fact, occurred on
January 1, 1996 or to project the results of operations for any future period.

   Reclassifications

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

   Earnings Per Share

     On March 31, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 is effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 1997, and, when adopted, it will require
restatement of prior years' earnings per share. If THCR had adopted SFAS No. 128
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, there would have been no effect on
earnings per share.

(3) 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
new forty year life and furniture and fixtures were determined to have a seven
year life. 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 and six months ended June 30, 1997, the net effect
of applying these new lives was to increase net income by $3,326,000 and
decrease loss per share by $.09.

(4) CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH COMPANY EXECUTIVES

     Loans to certain members of executive management of $1,523,000 and
$3,647,000 have been recorded in "Other Current Assets" and "Other Assets",
respectively. These loans were made in connection with management employment and
executive agreements.

(5) PURCHASE OF TREASURY STOCK

     On January 6, 1997, the Board of Directors of THCR (the "Board of
Directors") authorized the repurchase by THCR Holdings of up to 1,250,000 shares
of THCR Common Stock from time to time in the open market or privately
negotiated transactions. On March 10, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to an additional 1,250,000 shares of THCR Common Stock. The
repurchase program is effective until the end of 1997. As of June 30, 1997, THCR
Holdings had repurchased 1,706,500 shares of THCR Common Stock.

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

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The indenture governing the Senior Notes (the "Senior Note Indenture")
restricts 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, given the rapidly changing competitive
environment, THCR's future operating results are highly conditional and could
fluctuate significantly.

     In addition, the ability of (i) Plaza Associates and Taj Associates
(through Trump AC) and (ii) Castle Associates to make payments of dividends or
distributions to THCR Holdings may be restricted by the 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.

     Cash flows from operating activities are THCR's principal source of
liquidity. With the proceeds from the 1996 Offerings, THCR, among other things,
redeemed the outstanding Taj Bonds, retired the outstanding Plaza Notes,
satisfied the indebtedness of Taj Associates under its loan agreement with Nat
West, purchased certain real property used in the operation of Trump Plaza and
the Taj Mahal and paid Bankers Trust to release certain liens and guarantees.

     Capital expenditures for Trump AC were $51,215,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of
$158,865,000 include Trump Plaza East and Trump World's Fair's expenditures of
approximately $37,028,000 and $51,418,000, respectively. In addition, 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 exercise price and
associated closing costs were $10,144,000.

     Capital expenditures attributable to the Taj Mahal were $29,603,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and $68,677,000 for the period from acquisition,
April 17, 1996 to June 30, 1996. Capital expenditures for improvements to
existing facilities were approximately $5,147,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and $6,040,000 for the period from acquisition, April 17, 1996 to June
30, 1996. Capital expenditures attributable to the expansion of the facility
were approximately $24,456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Capital
expenditures for the period from acquisition, April 17, 1996 to June 30, 1996,
included the purchase of property previously leased, upon which a portion of the
casino hotel complex is situated, for $61,808,000.

     The expansion at the Taj Mahal (the "Taj Mahal Expansion") consists of the
construction of a new 15-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 approximately 7,000 square-foot casino expansion
with 260 slot machines, which was completed in July 1997. The costs of the Taj
Mahal Expansion of approximately $43,200,000 are being funded principally out of
cash from operations.

     In addition to the approximately $96,000,000 spent prior to commencing the
operation of the Indiana Riverboat on June 8, 1996, an additional $57,000,000 of
funds (consisting of approximately $40,000,000 for the construction of a hotel
and other amenities and $17,000,000 for infrastructure improvements and other
municipal uses) will be required to be spent by Trump Indiana in connection with
the Indiana Riverboat facility and related commitments, including commitments
required in connection with the licensure process. The remaining $57,000,000
required to be spent over the initial five-year license term is expected to be
funded with cash from operations.

     Castle Associates' capital expenditures for 1997 are anticipated to be
approximately $2,500,000 and principally consist of hotel room renovations, as
well as ongoing casino floor improvements, parking garage upgrades and marina
leasehold improvements. In addition, during 1997, Castle Associates commenced a
$4,200,000 project to retheme the property with a nautical emphasis and rename
it Trump Marina. Capital expenditures of $1,400,000 for these projects were
incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     At June 30, 1997, THCR had combined working capital of $16,629,000. The
combined working capital included a receivable from the New Jersey Casino
Reinvestment Development Authority (the "CRDA") of approximately $2,836,000 for
reimbursable improvements made to Trump Plaza East.

     Gaming revenues were $336,686,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $122,595,000 or 57.3% from gaming revenues of $214,091,000 for
the comparable period in 1996. Taj Associates, which was acquired on April 17,
1996, contributed an increase of $24,949,000 to $134,633,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. Management believes that Taj Associates' increase in
gaming revenues is partly due to the opening of the new bus terminal, expanded
self-parking facilities and increased marketing initiatives. Trump Marina, which
was acquired on October 7, 1996, contributed $68,545,000, and Trump Indiana,
which opened the Indiana Riverboat on June 8, 1996, contributed an increase of $
27,312,000 to $35,643,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Additionally, Plaza Associates' table games and slot revenues increased
$1,789,000 or 1.9% to $97,865,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Management believes that Plaza Associates' increase in gaming revenues is
primarily due to the May 1996 opening of Trump World's Fair, and the
availability of additional hotel rooms at Trump World's Fair as well as
marketing initiatives.

     Slot revenues were $227,419,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $88,336,000 or 63.5% from slot revenues of $139,083,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. Taj Associates slot revenues were $79,584,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $18,323,000 or 29.9% from slot
revenues of $61,261,000 for the period from acquisition, April 17, 1996 to June
30, 1996. Taj Associates increase is partly due to the opening of the new bus
terminal and expanded self-parking facilities. The acquisition of Trump Marina
contributed $49,210,000 in slot revenues, and the full quarter of slot revenues
in 1997 of the Indiana Riverboat contributed an increase of $17,701,000 to
$24,324,000. Plaza Associates' slot revenues were $74,301,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $3,102,000 or 4.4% from slot revenues
of $71,199,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Plaza Associates'
increase is due to the addition of 1,506 slot machines at Trump World's Fair, as
well as management's marketing programs.

     Table games revenues were $104,122,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $33,380,000 or 47.2% from $70,742,000 for the comparable
period in 1996. This increase is attributable to a full quarter of table games
revenues from Taj Associates in 1997, which contributed an increase of
$6,283,000 to $50,440,000. The acquisition of Trump Marina contributed
$18,799,000 and the Indiana Riverboat contributed an increase of $9,611,000 to
$11,319,000 in table games revenues. Plaza Associates' table games revenues of
$23,564,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, decreased by $1,313,000 or
5.3% from the comparable period in 1996. Plaza Associates' decrease is primarily
due to a decrease in table games drop (dollar value of chips purchased) of 6.5%
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, offset by an increase in hold
percentage of 0.2%.

     In addition to table games and slot revenues, Taj Associates' poker/race
simulcasting/keno operations generated approximately $3,911,000 in poker
revenues, $383,000 in race simulcasting revenues and $315,000 in keno revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an overall increase of $343,000 or
8.0% from the comparable period in 1996. Trump Marina generated $536,000 in
other gaming revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

     Other revenues were $77,414,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $25,665,000 or 49.6% from other revenues of $51,749,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. Other revenues include revenues from rooms, food and
beverage, entertainment and miscellaneous items. Taj Associates contributed an
increase of $6,995,000 to $31,352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
partially due to expanded entertainment events in conjunction with the expanded
self-parking facilities. Trump Marina contributed $16,722,000 in other revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, and Trump Indiana, which has no rooms
revenue, contributed an increase of $716,000 to $964,000 in 1997. Plaza
Associates' other revenues were $28,376,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $1,232,000 or 4.5% from the comparable period in 1996.
Plaza Associates' increase reflects the additional rooms at Trump World's Fair
as well as increases in rooms and food and beverage revenues attendant to
increased levels of gaming activity due in part to increased promotional
activities.

     Promotional allowances were $46,076,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $15,365,000 or 50.0% from promotional allowances of
$30,711,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Taj Associates generated
an increase of $5,103,000 in promotional allowances for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 from $13,865,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Taj
Associates' increase is partly due to increased gaming revenues as well as
increased marketing initiatives. Trump Marina generated $10,228,000 and Trump
Indiana generated an increase of $148,000 in promotional allowances for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. Plaza Associates' promotional allowances
decreased $114,000 from the comparable period in 1996.

     Gaming costs and expenses were $212,572,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997, an increase of $87,157,000 or 69.5% from $125,415,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. This increase was partially attributable to the
increase of $20,142,000 in Taj Associates' gaming costs and expenses to
$83,998,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Taj Associates' increase
is primarily due to increased promotional and operating expenses as well as
taxes associated with increased levels of gaming revenues from 1996. Trump
Marina contributed an increase of $44,449,000 and Trump Indiana contributed an
increase of $18,896,000 to $22,930,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Gaming costs and expenses for Plaza Associates were $61,195,000, an increase of
$3,670,000 or 6.4% from $57,525,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Plaza
Associates' increase is primarily due to increased promotional and operational
expenses as well as taxes associated with increased levels of gaming revenue
above 1996.

     General and administrative expenses were $68,784,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $23,701,000 or 52.6% from general and
administrative expenses of $45,083,000 for the comparable period in 1996. This
increase is partially due to Taj Associates, which incurred an increase of
$1,205,000 to $20,742,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Trump Marina
incurred $16,049,000 in general and administrative expenses, and Trump Indiana
incurred an increase of $5,668,000 to $7,569,000 in 1997 , which includes a
$500,000 management fee payable to THCR Holdings. Plaza Associates' increase of
$2,451,000 from the comparable period is due in part to expenses associated with
Trump World's Fair. General and administrative expenses for THCR
(unconsolidated) were $3,486,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a
decrease of $1,222,000 from the comparable period in 1996. This decrease is due
to compensation awards associated with the Taj Merger, which had no comparable
expense in 1997.

     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
new forty year life and furniture and fixtures were determined to have a seven
year life. 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 June 30, 1997, the net effect of
applying these new lives was to increase net income by $3,326,000 and decrease
loss per share by $.09.

     Pre-opening expenses of $2,853,000 were incurred by Plaza Associates for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and reflect the costs associated with
opening Trump World's Fair in May 1996. Trump Indiana incurred $ 5,003,000 in
pre-opening expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

     Other expenses were $20,839,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $5,667,000 or 37.4% from the comparable period in 1996. Other
expenses include costs associated with operating Trump Plaza's, Trump Marina's
and the Taj Mahal's hotels. Taj Associates' other expenses increased $725,000 to
$8,567,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Trump Marina incurred
$3,188,000 in 1997 while Trump Indiana's other expenses increased $653,000 from
the comparable period in 1996. Plaza Associates' other expenses increased by
$1,101,000 or 15.2% from the comparable period in 1996. This increase is due to
operating Trump World's Fair.

     Income from operations was $46,626,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $22,118,000 or 90.2% above income from operations of
$24,508,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Taj Associates contributed an
increase of $6,767,000 from the comparable period in 1996 while Trump Marina
contributed $7,669,000 of income from operations. Trump Indiana contributed
$3,940,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
$6,762,000 from the comparable period in 1996. THCR (unconsolidated) contributed
an increase in operating income due to a $1,271,000 decrease in operating
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997, from the comparable period in
1996. These increases in income from operations were partially offset by Plaza
Associates' decrease of $769,000 or 5.5% from $13,913,000 for the comparable
period in 1996.

     Interest expense was $52,671,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $14,550,000 or 38.2% from interest expense of $38,121,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. This increase is attributable to Taj Associates'
increase of $3,919,000 of interest expense and Trump Marina, which incurred
$10,055,000 of interest expense, for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

     Interest income was $1,237,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a
decrease of $1,714,000 or 58.1% from interest income of $2,951,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. Plaza Associates reflects a decrease in 1997 of
$609,000 in non-operating income. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in
non-operating expenses associated with Trump Plaza East and Trump World's Fair.
Taj Associates reflects a one-time $10,000,000 non-refundable licensing fee in
1996 resulting from an agreement with Atlantic Jersey Thermal Systems, Inc (the
"Atlantic Thermal Agreement").

     The extraordinary loss of $59,132,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1996 is related to the redemption of the Plaza Notes and the write-off of
unamortized deferred financing costs on April 17,1996.

     Gaming revenues were $653,575,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $365,214,000 or 126.7% from gaming revenues of $288,361,000 for
the comparable period in 1996. Taj Associates, which was acquired on April 17,
1996, contributed an increase of $153,222,000 to $262,906,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Trump Marina, which was acquired on October 7, 1996,
contributed $132,519,000, and Trump Indiana, which opened the Indiana Riverboat
on June 8, 1996, contributed an increase of $65,084,000 to $73,415,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. Additionally, Plaza Associates' table games and
slot revenues increased $14,389,000 or 8.4% to $184,735,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Management believes that Plaza Associates' increase in
gaming revenues is primarily due to the May 1996 opening of Trump World's Fair,
the February 1996 opening of Trump Plaza East and the availability of additional
hotel rooms at both Trump World's Fair and Trump Plaza East, as well as
marketing initiatives.

     Slot revenues were $430,379,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of $241,463,000 or 127.8% from slot revenues of $188,916,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. This increase is directly attributable to a full six
months of slot revenues in 1997 for Taj Associates, which contributed an
increase of $84,715,000 to $145,976,000 from the comparable period in 1996, the
acquisition of Trump Marina, which contributed $94,353,000, and a full six
months of slot revenues from the Indiana Riverboat, which contributed an
increase of $44,237,000 to $50,860,000. Plaza Associates' slot revenues were
$139,190,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $18,158,000
or 15.0% from slot revenues of $121,032,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996. Plaza Associates' increase is due to the addition of 1,924 slot machines
at Trump World's Fair and Trump Plaza East, as well as management's marketing
programs.

     Table games revenues were $213,211,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $118,032,000 or 124.0% from $95,179,000 for the comparable
period in 1996. This increase is attributable to Taj Associates' increase of
$63,611,000 to $107,768,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
acquisition of Trump Marina contributed $37,343,000 and the Indiana Riverboat
contributed an increase of $20,847,000 to $22,555,000 in table games revenues.
Plaza Associates' table games revenues of $45,545,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 decreased by $3,769,000 or 7.7% from the comparable period in
1996, primarily due to a decrease in hold percentage from 15.4% to 14.1%. The
decrease in hold percentage was partially offset by an increase in table games
drop (dollar value of chips purchased) of 1.0% for the six months ended June 30,
1997.

     In addition to table games and slot revenues, Taj Associates' poker/race
simulcasting/keno operations generated approximately $7,910,000 in poker
revenues, $706,000 in race simulcasting revenues and $546,000 in keno revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an overall increase of $4,896,000 from
the comparable period in 1996. Trump Marina generated $823,000 in other gaming
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     Other revenues were $143,723,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of $72,693,000 or 102.3% from other revenues of $71,030,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. Other revenues include revenues from rooms, food and
beverage, entertainment and miscellaneous items. Taj Associates contributed an
increase of $33,658,000 to $58,015,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Trump Marina contributed $30,818,000 in other revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, and Trump Indiana, which has no rooms revenue, contributed an
increase of $1,756,000 to $2,004,000 in 1997. Plaza Associates' other revenues
were $52,886,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
$6,461,000 or 13.9% from the comparable period in 1996. Plaza Associates'
increase reflects the additional rooms at Trump Plaza East and Trump World's
Fair as well as increases in rooms and food and beverage revenues attendant to
increased levels of gaming activity due in part to increased promotional
activities.

     Promotional allowances were $87,032,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $43,903,000 or 101.8% from promotional allowances of
$43,129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Taj Associates generated an
increase of $21,643,000 in promotional allowances for the six months ended June
30, 1997 from $13,865,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Trump Marina
generated $19,874,000 and Trump Indiana generated an increase of $357,000 in
promotional allowances for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Plaza Associates'
promotional allowances increased to $31,293,000 or 6.9% from promotional
allowances of $29,264,000 in the comparable period in 1996. Plaza Associates'
increase is primarily attributable to the additional rooms at Trump World's Fair
and Trump Plaza East as well as the addition of three restaurants at Trump
World's Fair and increases in marketing initiatives during the six months ended
June 30, 1997.

     Gaming costs and expenses were $411,375,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997, an increase of $241,982,000 or 142.9% from $169,393,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. This increase was partially attributable to the
increase of $99,338,000 in Taj Associates' gaming costs and expenses to
$163,194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Trump Marina contributed an
increase of $85,483,000 and Trump Indiana contributed an increase of $42,218,000
to


                                       24

$46,252,000  for the six months ended June 30,  1997.  Gaming costs and expenses
for Plaza Associates were $116,446,000, an increase of $14,943,000 or 14.7% from
$101,503,000 for the comparable  period in 1996. Plaza  Associates'  increase is
primarily due to increased  promotional  and operating  expenses  resulting from
operating  Trump World's Fair and Trump Plaza East, as well as taxes  associated
with increased levels of gaming from the comparable period in 1996.

     General and administrative expenses were $136,404,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $72,348,000 or 112.9% from general and
administrative expenses of $64,056,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Taj
Associates incurred an increase of $23,445,000 to $42,982,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Trump Marina incurred $32,222,000 in general and
administrative expenses, and Trump Indiana incurred an increase of $12,573,000
to $14,474,000 in 1997, which includes a $1,000,000 management fee payable to
THCR Holdings. Plaza Associates' increase of $5,269,000 from the comparable
period is due in part to expenses associated with Trump Plaza East and Trump
World's Fair. General and administrative expenses for THCR (unconsolidated) were
$5,780,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $203,000 from
the comparable period in 1996.

     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
new forty year life and furniture and fixtures were determined to have a seven
year life. 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 six months ended June 30, 1997, the net effect of applying
these new lives was to increase net income by $3,326,000 and decrease loss per
share by $.09.

     Pre-opening expenses of $3,332,000 were incurred by Plaza Associates for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and reflect the costs associated with opening
Trump World's Fair in May 1996. Trump Indiana incurred $ 6,634,000 in
pre-opening expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Other expenses were $39,350,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of $19,400,000 or 97.2% from the comparable period in 1996. Other
expenses include costs associated with operating Trump Plaza's, Trump Marina's
and the Taj Mahal's hotels. Taj Associates' other expenses increased $8,329,000
to $16,171,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Trump Marina incurred
$5,919,000 in 1997 while Trump Indiana's other expenses increased $1,365,000
from the comparable period in 1996. Plaza Associates' other expenses increased
by $3,787,000 or 31.6% from the comparable period in 1996. This increase is due
to operating Trump World's Fair and Trump Plaza East, both having opening dates
in 1996.

     Income from operations was $76,862,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $45,587,000 or 145.8% from income from operations of
$31,275,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Taj Associates contributed an
increase of $21,923,000 from the comparable period in 1996 while Trump Marina
contributed $11,114,000 of income from operations. Trump Indiana contributed
$10,344,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
$14,797,000 from the comparable period in 1996. THCR (unconsolidated)
contributed an increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30,
1997 due to an overall decrease in operating expenses of $246,000. These
increases were partially offset by Plaza Associates' decrease of $3,397,000 in
income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 or 14.4% from the
comparable period in 1996.

     Interest expense was $105,270,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of $51,123,000 or 94.40% from interest expense of $54,147,000 for
the comparable period in 1996. This increase is attributable to Taj Associates'
increase of $27,587,000 of interest expense and Trump Marina, which incurred
$20,124,000 of interest expense, for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
excluding $4,404,000 payable to THCR Holdings on the Castle PIK Notes. Plaza
Associates reflects an increase of $2,649,000 in interest expense due to the
retirement of the Plaza Notes and the issuance of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes in
addition to debt incurred in the acquisition of certain land and equipment.
Trump Indiana incurred an increase of $1,557,000 in interest expense for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 due to lease financing, which was offset by a
$794,000 decrease in interest expenses primarily due to the retirement of
$10,000,000 of Senior Notes by THCR Holdings.

     Interest income was $3,202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a
decrease of $519,000 or 13.9% from interest income of $3,721,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. Plaza Associates reflects a decrease in 1997 of
$732,000 in non-operating expenses associated with Trump Plaza East and Trump
World's Fair. Taj Associates' non-operating income in 1996 consists of a
one-time $10,000,000 non-refundable licensing fee resulting from an agreement
with Atlantic Jersey Thermal Systems, Inc.

     The extraordinary loss of $59,132,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996, is related to the redemption of the Plaza Notes and the write-off of
unamortized deferred financing costs on April 17, 1996.

SEASONALITY

     The casino industry in Atlantic City is seasonal in nature; accordingly,
the results of operations for the period ending June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

ITEM 3--QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Pursuant to the General Instructions to Rule 305 of Regulation S-K, the
quantitative and qualitative disclosures called for by this Item 3 and by Rule
305 of Regulation S-K are inapplicable to the Registrants at this time.


                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     THCR 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. Such persons and entities are
vigorously defending the allegations against them and intend to vigorously
contest any future proceedings.

     On March 13, 1997, THCR filed a lawsuit in the United States District
Court, District of New Jersey, against Mirage Resorts Incorporated, the State of
New Jersey ("State"), the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the South
Jersey Transportation Authority, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority
("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. While this
action was pending, defendants State and 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. This decision is
currently being appealed and all briefs are scheduled to be filed by
mid-October. On May 14, 1997, the State Court entered a summary judgment in
favor of the State and CRDA. This decision is also being appealed and all briefs
are scheduled to be filed by mid-September.

     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 TCI-II. The plaintiffs claim
that the directors of THCR breached their fiduciary duties in connection with
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.

     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 recently dismissed in Delaware and amended and
refiled in the Southern District of New York. These cases have subsequently been
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.

     THCR believes that the suits are without merit and intend to contest
vigorously the allegations against them. At this early stage, however, no
opinion can be expressed as to the likely outcome of these actions.

     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, 1996, 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.
