IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual
Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they
do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements contains words such as may, will, project, might, expect, believe, anticipate,
intend, could, would, estimate, continue or pursue, or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. In particular, they include statements relating to,
among other things, future actions, new projects, strategies, future performance, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and future financial results. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and
projections about future events.

We caution the reader that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be
predicted or quantified and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors as well as other
factors described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC):

| |  |  | access to available and feasible financing and insurance;                                                                                                                                                      
| |  |  | changes in laws (including increased tax rates), regulations or accounting standards, insurance premiums, and third-party relations and approvals, and decisions of courts,
regulators and governmental bodies;
| |  |  | litigation outcomes and judicial actions, including gaming legislative action, referenda and taxation;                                                                                                         
| |  |  | ability of our customer-tracking programs to continue to increase or sustain customer loyalty;                                                                                                                 
| |  |  | our ability to recoup costs of capital investments through higher revenues;

| |  |  | abnormal gaming hold percentages; and                                                                                                                                                                          
| |  |  | the effects of competition, including locations of competitors and operating and market competition.

(1)     Generally includes blackjack, baccarat, craps, pai gow poker, Caribbean stud
poker, roulette and poker.

We believe that our properties derive substantial benefit from the widespread recognition of the
Trump name and its association with high quality amenities and first class service. Our properties use the Trump name to attract business at each site where we seek to provide an exciting gaming and entertainment experience tailored to
the primary patrons in each of our markets.

The managing partner of Trump Atlantic City Associates, or Trump AC, is Trump Atlantic City
Holding, Inc., or Trump AC Holding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P., or THCR Holdings. Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc., or THCR, is a publicly held company and the sole general partner of THCR
Holdings. THCR Holdings partnership agreement, dated June 12, 1995, as amended, requires that all of THCRs business activities be conducted through THCR Holdings or a subsidiary of THCR Holdings, including Trump AC. As the general
partner of THCR Holdings, THCR generally has the exclusive rights, responsibilities and discretion as to the management and control of Trump AC. THCR (and its subsidiaries) is the exclusive vehicle through which Donald J. Trump, Chairman of the
Board of Trump AC and THCR, President and Chief Executive Officer of THCR and a limited partner of THCR Holdings, engages in gaming activities. THCR and its subsidiaries, including Trump AC, are separate and distinct from Mr. Trumps other
holdings and business activities.

Business and Marketing Strategy

We
consistently evaluate our properties and their amenities in order to remain competitive. From time to time, changes are made to our properties in response to patron demand either on an industry-wide or property-specific basis. Below is a brief
description of our business and marketing strategy:

Focus on Slot Revenues.We continue to emphasize our slot business, the most
consistently profitable and predictable segment of our gaming revenues. We strive to offer a wide variety of games and marketing programs to attract slot customers and to encourage them to play for longer periods of time in order to promote the
stability of our gaming revenues. As part of this focus, we are committed to providing our customers with the latest themed slot machines and gaming technology. In addition, we have continued to improve the Trump AC Properties slot floors and
have changed our marketing and customer loyalty programs to reward our most important slot customers by offering rooms and benefits that were previously reserved for table players.

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.  We anticipate having a portion of Trump Plazas and Trump Taj Mahals slot machines operating with cashless gaming 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, the Trump AC Properties employ marketing representatives as a means of attracting gaming patrons to the 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.  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) and approximately 80% at the Trump Taj Mahal, 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 our 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.

Certain Indebtedness

TAC I Notes.  In connection with
THCRs acquisition of the Taj Mahal in April 1996 (the Taj Acquisition), Trump AC and Trump AC Funding issued, in an underwritten public offering, mortgage notes in the principal amount of $1.2 billion, bearing interest at the rate
of 11-1/4% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on May 1st and November 1st of each year, and maturing on May 1, 2006 (the TAC I Notes). The obligations evidenced by the TAC I 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). The TAC I Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture agreement, dated as of April 17, 1996 (the TAC I Note Indenture),
by and among Trump AC and Trump AC Funding, as issuers, Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and The Trump Taj Mahal Corporation,  as guarantors, and the Trustee. The TAC I Notes include restrictive covenants prohibiting or limiting, among other
things, the sale of assets, the making of acquisitions and other investments, certain capital expenditures, the incurrence of additional debt and liens and the payment of dividends and distributions. Non-compliance could result in the acceleration
of such indebtedness. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Financial Condition-Liquidity and Capital Resources; Summary of Certain Debt; TAC Notes.

TAC II Notes.  In December 1997, Trump AC and Funding II issued, in an underwritten public offering, mortgage notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$75.0 million, bearing interest at the rate of 11-1/4% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on May 1st and November 1st of each year, and maturing on May 1, 2006 (the TAC II Notes). The TAC II Notes were issued pursuant to
an indenture agreement, dated as of December 10, 1997 (the TAC II Note Indenture), by and among Trump AC and Funding II, as issuers, TACC, Plaza Associates and Taj Associates, as guarantors, and the Trustee. The TAC II Notes include
restrictive covenants prohibiting or limiting, among other things, the sale of assets, the making of acquisitions and other investments, certain capital expenditures, the incurrence of additional debt and liens and the payment of dividends and
distributions. Non-compliance could result in the acceleration of such indebtedness. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Financial Condition-Liquidity and Capital Resources; Summary
of Certain Debt; TAC Notes.

TAC III Notes.  In December 1997, Trump AC and Funding III issued, in an underwritten
public offering, mortgage notes in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, bearing interest at the rate of 11-1/4% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on May 1st and November 1st of each year, and maturing on May 1, 2006 (the
TAC III Notes, and together with the TAC I Notes and TAC II Notes, the TAC Notes). The TAC III Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture agreement, dated as of December 10, 1997 (the TAC III Note Indenture), by
and among Trump AC and Funding III, as issuers, TACC, Plaza Associates and Taj Associates, as guarantors, and the Trustee. The TAC III Notes include restrictive covenants prohibiting or limiting, among other things, the sale of assets, the making of
acquisitions and other investments, certain capital expenditures, the incurrence of additional debt and liens and the payment of dividends and distributions. Non-compliance could result in the acceleration of such indebtedness. See
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Financial Condition-Liquidity and Capital Resources; Summary of Certain Debt; TAC Notes.

Other Indebtedness.  In addition to the foregoing, Trump ACs long-term indebtedness includes approximately $29.7 million of indebtedness, including,
as of December 31, 2002, approximately $1.1 million due under outstanding mortgage notes.

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.

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% as well as to tax complimentaries and impose a 7.0% occupancy tax on hotel rooms. The outcome of this tax proposal is uncertain at this time. To
the extent that the State of New Jersey increases gaming revenue or other taxes on Atlantic City casinos, 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.

Competition

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 the Trump AC Properties and Trump Marina Hotel Casino which is owned by THCR. 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.

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

Certain
Agreements

Trademark License Agreement

Subject to certain restrictions, THCR has 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, THCR is 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.  THCR, in turn, allow its subsidiaries, including Trump AC, and properties, including the Trump AC 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% 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 and Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, Trademark License
Agreement.

Casino Services Agreement

We service the Trump AC Properties 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 Taj Associates.  Trump Administration assumed the rights and responsibilities of the Casino Services Agreement when TACA merged Trump Casino Services, LLC, or TCS, into Taj
Associates in December 2000. Pursuant to the Casino Services Agreement, Trump Administration provides the Trump AC Properties as well as each of  THCRs other owned or managed 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 for its incurred costs and expenses 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.

Governmental and Gaming Regulations

The
following is only a summary of the applicable provisions of the New Jersey Casino Control Act (or the Casino Control Act) and certain other laws and regulations.  It does not purport to be a full description and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Casino Control Act and such other applicable laws and regulations.

New Jersey Gaming Regulations

In general, the Casino Control Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain detailed provisions concerning, among other things:

| |  |  | the granting and renewal of casino licenses;                                                                                 
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  |  | the suitability of the approved hotel facility, and the amount of authorized casino space and gaming units permitted therein;
| |  |  | the qualification of natural persons and entities related to the casino licensee;                                            
| |  |  | the licensing of certain employees and vendors of casino licensees;                                                          
| |  |  | the rules of the games;                                                                                                      
| |  |  | the selling and redeeming of gaming chips;                                                                                   
| |  |  | the granting and duration of credit and the enforceability of gaming debts;                                                  
| |  |  | management control procedures, accounting and cash control methods and reports to gaming agencies;                           
| |  |  | the security standards;                                                                                                      
| |  |  | the manufacture and distribution of gaming equipment;                                                                        
| |  |  | the simulcasting of horse races by casino licensees, advertising, entertainment and alcoholic beverages.                     

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 Commission 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 June 1999, the Casino Control Commission (CCC) renewed Taj Associates license to operate the Taj Mahal through June 2003 and renewed Plaza Associates license to operate Trump Plaza until June
2003.  Each entity has filed an application for the renewal of its casino license through June 2007.  The CCC has consolidated the license renewal applications for a hearing in late June 2003 and has extended the casino license to operate
the Trump AC Properties through June 30, 2003.

Casino License.  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 licenses currently held by Plaza Associates and Taj Associates are 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 (the Division).

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.

##### Table of Contents

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. See -Conservatorship.

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

Pursuant to the Casino Control Act, CCC Regulations and precedent, 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. Pursuant to a
condition of its casino license, payments by Plaza Associates or Taj Associates to, or for the benefit of, any related entity or partner, with certain exceptions, are subject to prior CCC approval; and, if Plaza Associates or Taj
Associates cash position falls below $5.0 million for three consecutive business days, such entity must present to the CCC and the Division evidence as to why it should not obtain a working capital facility in an appropriate amount.

Control Persons.  An entity qualifier or intermediary or holding company, such as Trump AC, Trump AC Holding, TACC, THCR
Holdings, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Funding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of THCR Holdings (THCR Funding), or THCR, 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, 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 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 five percent (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 (a Regulated Company), to qualify as financial sources. In the past, the CCC has waived the qualification requirement for holders of
less than fifteen percent (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 fifteen percent (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 (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 that there is any cause to believe that the holder may be found unqualified, on the basis of CCC 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.

##### Table of Contents

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. Currently, each of Trump AC, Trump AC Holding, Plaza Associates, Taj Associates, THCR Holdings, THCR Funding and THCR 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 CCC Regulations 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 TAC I Note Indenture, TAC II Note Indenture, TAC III Note Indenture and other certain indentures
pursuant to which certain promissory notes of THCR and it subsidiaries have been issued if a holder of securities of THCR or its subsidiaries, including the Registrants, 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. Similar provisions are set forth in THCRs
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to the Common Stock of THCR.

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 121st day 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 the 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 a 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 AC 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. 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 also required to pay an annual tax of 8.0% on its gross casino revenues. For the years ended December 31,
2000, 2001 and 2002, Plaza Associates gross revenue tax was approximately $25.8 million, $26.4 million and $27.1 million, respectively, and its license, investigation and other fees and assessments totaled approximately $5.1 million, $4.8
million and $5.2 million, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, Taj Associates gross revenue tax was approximately $43.8 million, $42.6 million and $42.6 million, respectively, and its license, investigation
and other fees and assessments totaled approximately $5.1 million, $5.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively.  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 30 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 CRDA (CRDA Bonds).
CRDA 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 CRDA 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 the CRDA 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 CRDA Bonds or twice the amount of its investments authorized in
lieu of such bond investments or made in projects designated as eligible by the CRDA and (ii) has the option of entering into a contract with the CRDA 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 CRDA, the CRDA 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 any 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 31 during the years 1996 through 2003, each casino licensee shall pay into an account established in the CRDA 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 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 CRDA 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 Plaza Associates, Trump AC Holding, Trump AC, Trump AC Funding, Funding II, Funding III, Taj
Associates, THCR, THCR Holdings, THCR Funding 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 TAC I Note Indenture, TAC II Note Indenture and TAC III Note Indenture.

Qualification of Employees.  Certain employees of Plaza Associates and Taj Associates 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 AC 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 AC Properties is conducted by trained and supervised personnel. Plaza Associates and Taj Associates 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.

Other Laws and
Regulations

The United States Department of the Treasury (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 (a Currency Transaction Report). 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 (the 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 Service had taken the position that gaming winnings from table games by nonresident
aliens were subject to a 30.0% withholding tax. The 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.

##### Table of Contents

Plaza Associates and Taj Associates 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.

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 in the state of New Jersey as well as in other jurisdictions. Management believes all required licenses and permits necessary to conduct the business of THCR have been
obtained.

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.

Employees and Labor Relations

The table below sets forth the number of full-time equivalent employees
working at each of the Trump AC Properties as of December 31, 2002:

|Property:       |       | Number of Full-Time  Equivalent Employees: |

Certain of our casino hotel employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we have a
good relationship with our employees.  See Business; Casino Services Agreement.

Also, certain of our employees are
required to be licensed by, or registered with, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, or the CCC, 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 AC Properties, with autumn and winter being non-peak seasons.  Therefore, 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 AC Properties.

Trump Plaza

Through our
subsidiary, Trump Plaza Associates, or 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. The parcels are subject to lien mortgages securing the
obligations under the $1.3 billion principal amount of 11-1/4% mortgage notes due 2006 issued by Trump Atlantic City Associates and its subsidiaries (the TAC Notes) and certain other liens. 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

11

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 3 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.

Substantially all of Plaza Associates property, including Trump Plazas hotel and casino and the parcels of land on
which it is situated, secures Trump ACs obligations under the TAC Notes. Plaza Associates 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 the TAC Notes.

Trump Taj Mahal

Through Taj Associates, we currently own the approximately 30 acres of land which comprise the Trump Taj Mahal site. This land is encumbered by the liens securing the
TAC Notes and certain other liens.

The Taj Mahal site also 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.

Substantially all of Taj Associates property, including the Trump Taj Mahals hotel and casino and the parcels of land on which it is situated, secures
Trump ACs obligations under the TAC Notes. Taj Associates 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 the TAC Notes.

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.

ITEM 4.
SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

No matters were submitted to a vote, either through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, to our security holders during the fourth quarter of 2002.

|(a) |  | On September 15, 1999, an agreement was reached between Taj Associates, All Star and Planet Hollywood International, Inc. to terminate the All Star Café Lease effective
September 24, 1999. Upon termination of the All Star Café Lease, all property, improvements, alterations and All Stars personal property, with the exception of specialty trade fixtures, became the property of Taj Associates. Taj
Associates recorded the $17,200,000 estimated fair market value of these assets in other revenue based on an independent appraisal.

|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  All statements other than
statements of historical facts included in this report regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements
generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as may, will, expect, intend, estimate, anticipate, believe, plans,
forecasts, continue or could or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include business, competition, regulatory and other uncertainties and contingencies
discussed in this report that are difficult or impossible to predict and which are beyond our control.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in
their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this document.  These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend to update these statements unless the securities laws require us to do so.

In this section, the words Company, we, our, ours, and us refer to Trump
Atlantic City Associates (Trump AC) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted.  Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trump AC owns and operates the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (Trump Plaza) and the
Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (the Taj Mahal and together with Trump Plaza, the Trump AC Properties).  Terms not defined in this section shall have the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K.

General

Our business is subject to a variety of risks and
uncertainties, some of which are discussed below.

The Company Has Substantial Indebtedness.

The Companys indebtedness consists primarily of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes.  At December 31, 2002, the outstanding principal balance of the Trump AC
Mortgage Notes was approximately $1.3 billion.  Interest expense as a percentage of net revenues was 18.9%, 19.2% and 18.4% for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

The Company has previously announced that it may seek to refinance or modify the terms of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes.  No transaction is imminent and there can
be no assurances that a transaction will occur or be proposed in the future.  The primary reason to refinance or modify the Trump AC Mortgage Notes would be to extend their May 2006 maturity date and to reduce the high levels of interest
expense in order to devote more resources to capital expenditures at the Trump AC Properties.  The Atlantic City market is very competitive and is anticipated to become more competitive in the future, especially when the Borgata opens in 2003
(as discussed below).  Capital expenditures, such as room refurbishments, amenity upgrades and new gaming equipment, are necessary from time to time to preserve the competitiveness of the Trump AC Properties.  Management believes that the
Company must provide for capital expenditures to compete effectively.  See Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

##### Table of Contents

The ability of Trump AC and its subsidiaries to pay interest on the Trump AC Mortgage Notes depends primarily on
the ability of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal to generate sufficient amounts of cash from operations.  Management believes that, based upon its current cash flow forecasts for 2003, Trump AC will have sufficient cash flows to meet its debt
service and operating expense requirements throughout 2003 without a transaction.  The future operating performance of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal 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 management.  There can be no assurance that the future operating performance of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal will be sufficient to
generate the cash flows required to meet the debt service obligations of Trump Plaza, Taj Mahal or Trump AC.  Also, the ability of the Company to pay the principal amount of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes at maturity (whether scheduled or by
acceleration thereof) is primarily dependent upon its 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 in general or to the Company in particular will be conducive to refinancing debt at any given time or on more favorable terms.

We Do Not Know How the Borgata, When Opened, Will Affect Us.

In September 2000, Boyd Gaming and MGM Mirage commenced their joint development of a 25-acre site located in the marina district of Atlantic City for the construction
of the Borgata, a casino 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.  While we believe that the opening of the Borgata will attract additional visitors to Atlantic City, it is also possible that the Borgata could have an adverse effect on the business and
operations of the Trump AC Properties.  This potential adverse effect could include a reduction in net revenues caused by a loss of gaming patrons.  Also, substantial new expansion and development activity at other casino properties has
recently been completed, is under construction or has been announced in Atlantic City which further intensifies competitive pressure in the Atlantic City market and which could also have an adverse effect on our patronage and revenues.  See
Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

New York Has Enacted Gaming Legislation Which May Harm Our Trump
Atlantic City Properties and Other States May Do So In The Future.

In October 2001, the New York State legislature passed extensive
legislation that could adversely affect the Company. 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 Americans, which could open as early as mid-2005.  In addition, slot machines would be allowed to
be placed in Indian-owned casinos.  Video lottery terminals would be installed in 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 cannot be predicted.  The Company believes, however, that a substantial amount of
existing and potential new gaming customers could patronize such facilities instead of Atlantic City, at least occasionally. On January 29, 2002, a lawsuit was commenced contesting the above legislation package on the grounds that certain of its
provisions were adopted in violation of the 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, 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 gubernatorial elections in Pennsylvania and Maryland in 2002 have increased the likelihood of gaming legislation in such
states.  Since our market is primarily a drive-to market, legalized gaming in one or more states neighboring or within close proximity to New Jersey could have a material adverse effect on the Atlantic City gaming industry overall, including
the Trump AC 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, especially in the event of a war with Iraq, 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 Tax Act, which, among
other things, suspended the use of the net operating loss carry forwards 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.

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 AC 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza 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 involve
estimations. The Company does extend credit to certain qualified patrons on a discretionary basis.  Credit play as a percentage of total dollars wagered has been approximately 20% for the past three years.  Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza
establishes credit limits based upon the particular patrons creditworthiness, as determined by an examination of various factors including a credit check of the patron, a verification of the patrons personal checking account balance, and
a verification of the patrons credit limits and indebtedness at other casinos in the United States, as well as many island casinos.  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for a portion of 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 the 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,
workman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.  The costs of the ultimate disposition of these claims may differ from these reserve estimates.

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 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.  SFAS No.145 was effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002.  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 during 2002, and the effect of
adoption had no impact to the Company.

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 Partnership 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 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 Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal are
the Companys primary source of liquidity.  To a lesser extent, the Company has relied on capital lease financing for its capital resource needs.  The Companys ability to borrow funds for its liquidity needs is severely
restricted by covenants in the indentures governing the Trump AC Mortgage Notes and by its already high levels of indebtedness.  Sources of the Companys short-term and long-term liquidity include casino gaming revenues and room, food and
beverage sales.  Although we expect the Company to have sufficient liquidity from the operating activities of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal to meet its short-term obligations, there can be no assurances in this regard.  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 including the Trump AC Mortgage Notes.

Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal 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 of the high levels of  interest expense related to the Trump AC Mortgage Notes, the Companys capital expenditures in recent years
at Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal have been limited and have prohibited the Company from pursuing various capital expansion plans, such as the addition of more hotel rooms.

Capital expenditures at the Trump AC Properties for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 are as follows:

Pursuant to the indentures governing the TAC Notes, Trump AC is permitted to reimburse THCR for its operating and interest expenses.  These reimbursements are
subject to limitations set forth in such indentures, including an annual limitation of $10,000,000 in operating expense reimbursements and a life-time limitation of $50,000,000 in interest expense reimbursements.  During the quarter ended June
30, 2002, Trump AC declared a non-cash partnership distribution to THCR of $101,341,000, consisting of $50,000,000 of prior years interest reimbursements and $51,341,000 of prior years operating expense reimbursements.  Previously these amounts
were presented as Advances to Affiliates on the balance sheet.  Additionally, during the six months ended December 31, 2002, Trump AC declared cash  partnership distributions to THCR of $3,509,000 consisting of operating expense
reimbursements.

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 imposes a new Alternative Minimum Assessment amount 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, Trump AC has recorded a provision for current income tax expense of $3,768,000 for the year ended December 31,
2002.

Summary of the Companys Public Indebtedness

TAC Notes. Trump ACs debt consists primarily of the (i) TAC I Notes, (ii) TAC II Notes and (iii) TAC III Notes (collectively, the TAC Notes).

The TAC Notes bear interest at the rate of 11-1/4% 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 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, principal amounts of $1.2 billion, $75.0 million and $25.0 million of the TAC I Notes, TAC II Notes and TAC III Notes, respectively, 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 liens securing the TAC Notes are subordinate to liens securing approximately $1.2 million of senior indebtedness. 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).

The ability of Trump
AC and its subsidiaries to pay interest on and principal of approximately $1.3 billion on the TAC Notes depends primarily on the ability of the Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal 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 Plaza and the Taj Mahal 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 Plaza and the Taj Mahal. There can be no assurance that the future operating performance of the Trump Plaza and
the Taj Mahal will be sufficient to generate the cash flows required to meet the debt service obligations of the Trump Plaza, the Taj Mahal or Trump AC. The ability of the Trump Plaza, the Taj Mahal and Trump AC 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 the Company will be conducive to refinancing debt at any given time.

The indentures governing the public indebtedness of Trump AC restrict such entities ability to make distributions to THCR Holdings.

In addition, the ability of Plaza Associates and Taj Associates (through Trump AC) to make payments, dividends or distributions to THCR Holdings may be
restricted by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (CCC).

Events of Default.  Pursuant to each
of the indentures governing the public indebtedness of the Company (collectively, the Indentures), if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of 25.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the
respective debit issue then outstanding, by notice in writing to the respective issuer or issuers, may, and the trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare all principal and accrued interest of such debt issue to be immediately due and
payable. An Event of Default under each of the Indentures includes, but is not limited to, the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (i) a default in an installment payment of any interest (including any defaulted interest)
on a respective debt issue when due and payable and which continues for 30 days; (ii) any Indebtedness (as defined) of the respective issuers or any of their Subsidiaries (as defined) for borrowed money having an outstanding principal amount of
$20.0 million in the aggregate becoming by declaration or otherwise, due and payable prior to its stated maturity; (iii) one or more judgments, orders or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $10.0 million, either individually or in the
aggregate, being rendered against the respective issuers or any of their Subsidiaries (as defined) or any of their respective properties and not discharged, and either an enforcement proceeding shall have been consummated by any creditor upon such
judgment, order or decree or there shall be a period of 60 days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; (iv) an entry by a court having competent jurisdiction
in the premises of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or a decree or order adjudging the respective issuers or any of their Significant Subsidiaries (as defined) bankrupt or
insolvent or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the issuers or any of their Significant Subsidiaries (as defined) under any applicable federal or state law; and (v) the issuers or any of their
Significant Subsidiaries (as defined) commencing a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent or the issuers or any of their Significant Subsidiaries (as
defined) filing a petition, answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law.

Gaming revenues
are the primary source of Trump ACs revenues.   The year over year increase in gaming revenues was primarily due to an increase in slot activity.

Table game revenues decreased by approximately $8.0 million  or 3.1%, from the comparable period in 2001 due primarily to a decrease in table game drop at the
Taj Mahal.  Overall Trump ACs table win percentage decreased to 16.3% from 16.4% in the comparable period in 2001.  Table game revenues represent the amount retained by Trump AC 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.  The Atlantic City industry table win percentages were 15.6% and 15.7% for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Slot revenues increased by approximately $25.0 million or 4.4%, from the comparable
period in 2001 primarily as a result of  improved slot product on the casino floor, managements continued focus on marketing initiatives and customer service as well as favorable weather conditions during 2002.

Promotional allowances decreased by approximately $14.6 million or 6.4% from the comparable period in 2001 primarily as a result  of decreased cash
complimentaries at the Taj Mahal and decreased food and beverage complimentaries at the Trump Plaza.

Gaming costs and expenses decreased
by approximately $10.8 million or 2.7%, from the comparable period in 2001.  Expense decreases at both the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza were primarily related to decreased payroll expense and more efficient marketing programs.

General and administrative costs and expenses increased by approximately $14.7 million or 9.1% from the comparable period in 2001 primarily as a result of
the write-off of approximately $10.4 million of CRDA deposits, with the carrying value of approximately $7.0 million, donated in exchange for the right to utilize other CRDA deposits for the development of an entertainment retail district project or
projects.  Additionally Trump AC incurred increased real estate taxes, insurance, entertainers and employee benefits expenses at both the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza.

As previously reported during the first quarter of 2002, Trump AC was seeking to refinance or modify the terms of
the Trump AC Mortgage Notes which were approximately $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount as of December 31, 2002.   In connection with such efforts, Trump AC has incurred approximately $1.6 million in debt renegotiation costs during
the year ended December 31, 2002.  Trump AC has since terminated such efforts but intends to revisit the capital markets at a later time if and when more favorable market conditions exist.  The debt renegotiation costs incurred during 2002
have been expensed in the consolidated statement of operations.  See General - The Company Has Substantial Indebtedness.

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 imposes a new Alternative Minimum Assessment amount 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, Trump AC has recorded a provision for current income tax expense of $3.8 million for the year  ended December 31, 2002.

Gaming revenues
are the primary source of Trump ACs revenues. The year over year decrease in gaming revenues was caused by table games activity. Table game revenues decreased by approximately $15.6 million or 5.7% from the comparable period in 2000 due to a
decrease in table drop at both the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza. 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. Overall Trump ACs table win percentage increased to 16.4% from 16.0% in the comparable period in 2000. Table game revenues represent the amount retained by Trump AC 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. The Atlantic City industry table win percentages were 15.4% and 15.6% for the years
ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

Slot revenues increased by approximately $5.8 million or 1.0% from the comparable
period in 2000 as a result of innovative marketing initiatives and managements efforts to improve the slot product on the casino floor which were partially affected by the negative national economic impacts of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks.

Gaming expenses decreased by approximately $8.9 million or 2.2% from the comparable period in 2000. Expense decreases at the
Taj Mahal were primarily marketing expenses and gaming taxes associated with decreased table game revenues. Expense decreases at the Trump Plaza were primarily due to decreased marketing expenses and incentives.

General and Administrative expenses decreased by approximately $12.6 million or 7.2% from 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.

Seasonality

Cash flows from the Trump Plaza and the
Taj Mahal operating activities are seasonal in nature, with spring and summer traditionally being peak seasons and autumn and winter being non-peak seasons. Consequently, the Companys operating results during 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 the Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal are unable to generate excess cash flows in one or more peak seasons, they 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 or 2002.

| | Trademark License Agreement.Subject to certain restrictions, THCR has 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. THCR, in turn, allows its subsidiaries,
including Trump AC and its subsidiaries, 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. In 2002, no money was paid to Mr. Trump under the trademark license agreement. 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 losses arising out of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the other party.  See Business, Certain Agreements,
Trademark License Agreement.

Other Relationships. The SEC requires registrants to disclose the
existence of any other corporation in which both (i) an executive officer of the registrant serves on the board of directors and/or compensation committee, and (ii) a director of the registrant serves as an executive officer. Messrs. Pickus and
Burke, executive officers of the Registrants, have served on the boards of directors of other entities in which members of the Board of Directors of THCR (namely, Mr. Trump) served and continue to serve as executive officers. Management believes
that such relationships have not affected the decisions made by the Board of Directors of Trump AC Funding, Funding II and Funding III in the last fiscal year.

Mr. Trump serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of THCR. Messrs. Brown, Pickus and Burke are executive officers of THCR and are compensated for their
services under the Casino Service Agreement.  Business; Certain Agreements; Casino Services Agreement.

ITEM 12.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

Trump AC.  Through its ownership
of 100.0% of Trump AC Holding, THCR Holdings currently beneficially owns 100.0% of Trump AC.

Trump AC Funding.  Through its
ownership of 100.0% of Trump AC and Trump AC Holding, THCR Holdings has owned 100.0% of Trump AC Fundings common stock since Trump AC Fundings formation in January 1996.

Funding II. Through its ownership of 100.0% of Trump AC and Trump AC Holding, THCR Holdings has owned 100.0% of Funding IIs common stock since Funding
IIs formation in November 1997.

Funding III. Through its ownership of 100.0% of Trump AC and Trump AC Holding, THCR
Holdings has owned 100.0% of Funding IIs common stock since Funding IIIs formation in November 1997.

ITEM 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

Affiliate party transactions are governed by the provisions
of the TAC I Note Indenture, the TAC II Note Indenture and the TAC III Note Indenture which provisions 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 Trump AC Funding, Funding II or Funding III, as applicable.

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.

Indemnification Agreements. In connection with THCRS acquisition of the Trump Taj Mahal in 1996, Trump
AC agreed to indemnify Messrs. Pickus and Burke, the former officers and directors of THCRs subsidiaries, THCR Holding Corp. and THCR/LP (the Taj Indemnified Parties).  In addition, THCR agreed, and agreed to cause THCR
Holding Corp. and THCR/LP to agree, that through April 17, 2002, unless otherwise required by law, the certificates of incorporation and bylaws of THCR Holding Corp. and THCR/LP would not be amended, repealed or modified to reduce or limit the
rights of indemnity afforded to the former directors, officers and employees of THCR Holding Corp. and THCR/LP or the ability of THCR Holding Corp. or THCR/LP to indemnify such persons, nor to hinder, delay or make more difficult the exercise of
such rights of indemnity or the ability to indemnify. In addition, Trump AC also agreed to purchase and maintain in effect, through April 17, 2002, directors and officers liability insurance policies covering the Taj Indemnified
Parties.

ITEM 14.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

|(a) |  | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To Trump Atlantic City Associates and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Trump Atlantic City Associates and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002
and the related consolidated statements of operations, 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 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 Atlantic City Associates and
Subsidiaries 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 Atlantic City Associates and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2002, and the consolidated results of their operations and their 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.

TRUMP ATLANTIC CITY ASSOCIATES AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)     Organization and Operations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Trump Atlantic City Associates, a New Jersey general partnership
(Trump ACor the Company), and its subsidiaries: (i) Trump Plaza Associates, a New Jersey general partnership (Plaza Associates) which owns and operates the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino located in Atlantic City,
New Jersey (Trump Plaza), (ii) Trump Taj Mahal Associates, a New Jersey general partnership (Taj Associates) which owns and operates the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort located in Atlantic City, New Jersey (the Taj
Mahal), (iii) Trump Atlantic City Funding, Inc.  (Trump AC Funding), (iv) Trump Atlantic City Funding II, Inc. (Trump AC Funding II), (v) Trump Atlantic City Funding III, Inc. (Trump AC Funding III),
(vi) Trump Atlantic City Corporation (TACC), and (vii) Trump Administration, a separate division of Taj Associates (Trump Administration).  Trump ACs sole sources of liquidity are distributions in respect of its
interests in Plaza Associates and Taj Associates.  Trump AC is 100% beneficially owned by Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (THCR Holdings) of which Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (THCR), is the sole general partner.  Trump AC, Trump AC Funding, Trump AC Funding II and Trump AC Funding III have no independent operations and, therefore, their ability to service debt is dependent
upon the successful operations of Plaza Associates and Taj Associates.  There are no restrictions on the ability of Plaza Associates and Taj Associates, the primary guarantors (the Subsidiary Guarantors) of the 111⁄4% First
Mortgage Notes due 2006 issued by (i) Trump AC and Trump AC Funding, (ii) Trump AC and Trump AC Funding II and (iii) Trump AC and Trump AC Funding III (collectively, the Trump AC Mortgage Notes) to distribute funds to Trump AC in respect
of the guaranteed debt.

The separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors have not been
included because (i) the Subsidiary Guarantors constitute all of Trump ACs direct and indirect subsidiaries; (ii) the Subsidiary Guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Trump AC Mortgage Notes on a joint and several basis;
(iii) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the Subsidiary Guarantors are substantially equivalent to the assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of Trump AC on a consolidated basis; and (iv) the separate financial and other
disclosures concerning the Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed by management to be material.  The assets and operations of the nonguarantor subsidiaries are not significant.

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

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

As discussed in Note 3, repayment of the Trump AC Mortgage
Notes is due in 2006.  As shown in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Partnership has consistently generated sufficient cash for debt service and operating requirements.  Management believes that, based upon its
cash flow projections for 2003, Trump AC will have sufficient cash flows to meet their debt service and operating expense requirements throughout 2003.

(2)     Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

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

Trump AC 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 as
follows:

|                  |  | Year Ended December 31, |           
|----------------- |  | ----------------------- | ----------
|                  |  |                         |           
|                  |  | 2000                    |           
|                  |  |                         |           
|Rooms             |  | $                       | 17,578,000
|Food and Beverage |  |                         | 58,403,000
|Other             |  |                         | 9,178,000 
|                  |  |                         |           
|                  |  | $                       | 85,159,000
|                  |  |                         |           

Promotional allowances also include volume based cash rebates and coin given to patrons.

Inventories

Inventories of provisions and supplies are carried at the lower
of cost (weighted average) or market.

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    | 
|----------------------------------- |  | ----------- | 
|Furniture, fixtures and equipment   |  | 3-10 years  | 
|Leasehold improvements              |  | 10-40 years | 

Depreciation expense includes amortization of assets under capital lease obligations.

Long-Lived Assets

The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets 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.  Trump AC does not believe that any such changes have occurred.

Income Taxes

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes since Trump AC is a partnership
for federal income tax purposes and therefore income and losses are allocated and reported for federal income tax purposes by the partners.

Under the New Jersey Casino Control Act (the Casino Control Act) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, both Plaza
Associates and Taj Associates are required to file New Jersey corporation business tax returns.

At
December 31, 2002, Plaza Associates and Taj Associates have state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $195,000,000 and $131,000,000, respectively, which is available to offset taxable income through the year 2009.  The net
operating loss carryforward results in a consolidated deferred state tax asset of $29,340,000 which has been offset by a valuation allowance of $29,340,000 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 New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and imposes a new Alternative Minimum Assessment amount 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, Trump AC has recorded a provision for current income tax expense of $3,768,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Advertising Expense

The Partnership expenses advertising costs as they are
incurred.  Advertising expense was $9,314,000, $8,059,000, and $8,165,000 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.

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 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.  SFAS No.145 was effective for financial statements issued on or
after May 15, 2002.  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 during 2002, and the effect of adoption had no impact to the Company.

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 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 June15, 2003.  The Company is evaluating whether
it has any variable interest entities, which will be subject to consolidation pursuant to FIN No. 46.

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 $29,312,000 and $24,273,000 for the year 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 prior year financial statements for them to be in conformity
with the current year presentation.

Other Assets

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

(3)     Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:

The
ability of the Registrants to repay their current and long-term indebtedness when due will depend on the ability of Trump AC to either generate cash from operations sufficient for such purposes or to refinance such indebtedness on or before the date
on which it becomes due.  Cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to repay a substantial portion of the principal amount of the debt at maturity. The future operating performance of Trump AC and its ability to refinance its debt 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 Trump AC. There can be no assurance that the future operating performance of
Trump AC will be sufficient to meet these repayment obligations or that the general state of the economy, the status of the capital markets or the receptiveness of the capital markets to the gaming industry or to Trump AC will be conducive to
refinancing this debt or other attempts to raise capital.

leases. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 was $6,099,000, $7,517,000 and $9,038,000, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments under the noncancellable operating leases are as follows:

|2003       |  | $ | 3,552,000  | 
|---------- |  | - | ---------- | 
|2004       |  |   | 2,401,000  | 
|2005       |  |   | 2,649,000  | 
|2006       |  |   | 1,111,000  | 
|2007       |  |   | 1,112,000  | 
|Thereafter |  |   | 82,143,000 | 
|           |  |   |            | 
|           |  | $ | 92,968,000 | 
|           |  |   |            | 

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

As of December 31, 2002, Trump AC had an aggregate minimum contractual obligation, of approximately $19,422,000 under
various employment agreements with certain employees, of which approximately $3,121,000 will be reimbursed through the Trump Taj Mahal Administrations Casino Services Agreement. These commitments mature at various dates through
2006.

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.

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 and Taj 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 and Taj Associates
casino licenses to operate Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal for a period of four years through June 30, 2003.  Plaza Associates and Taj Associates has filed an application for the renewal of its casino license through June 2007.  Upon
revocation, suspension for more than 120 days, or failure to renew the 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.

Legal Proceedings

Plaza Associates, Taj Associates, its Partners, certain members of its former Executive Committee, and certain of its employees, have
been involved in various legal proceedings. In general, Plaza Associates and Taj Associates have 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 Plaza Associates and Taj Associates. Plaza Associates and Taj Associates consider all
such proceedings to be ordinary litigation incident to the character of their business. Plaza Associates and Taj Associates believe that the resolution of these claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on
their financial condition or results of operations.

Plaza Associates and Taj Associates are also a party to various administrative proceedings involving allegations that they have violated
certain provisions of the Casino Control Act. Plaza Associates and Taj 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 the ability of Plaza Associates or Taj Associates to otherwise retain or renew any casino or other licenses required under the Casino Control Act for the operation of the respective properties.

Self-Insurance Reserves

Self-insurance reserves represent the
estimated amounts of uninsured claims related to employee health medical costs, workman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. The costs of the ultimate disposition of these claims may differ from these reserve amounts.

Federal Income Tax Examination

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

Casino Reinvestment Development Authority Obligations

Pursuant to the provisions of the Casino Control Act, Plaza Associates and Taj 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 and Taj Associates intend on satisfying their obligations
primarily by depositing funds to be used for the purchase of bonds or by making qualified investments. Plaza Associates and Taj Associates are required to make quarterly deposits with the CRDA based on 1.25% of its gross revenue. For the years ended
December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, Trump AC charged to operations $4,843,000, $3,844,000 and $3,694,000 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 and Taj Associates have elected to donate funds they have on deposit with the CRDA for various projects. Donations in the amounts of $3,920,000, $593,000 and $11,161,000 were made
during the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. As a result of these donations, Trump AC charged the carrying value to operations of $2,052,000, $293,000 and $7,350,000 during the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002.

(5)          Employee Benefit Plans

Plaza Associates and Taj Associates have 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 30% of their earnings to the Plan and Plaza Associates and Taj Associates will match 50% of the first 6%.  Trump AC recorded charges of $3,637,000, $3,433,000 and
$3,411,000 for matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Plaza Associates and Taj Associates make payments to various trusteed multi-employer pension plans under industry-wide union agreements.
The payments are based on the hours worked by or gross wages paid to covered employees. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Plaza Associates and Taj Associates may be liable for their share of the plans unfunded liabilities, if
any, if the plans are terminated. Pension expense charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 was $2,906,000, $3,418,000 and $3,748,000 respectively.

|    | Beginning in late 1997, Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal utilize certain facilities owned by Trump to entertain high-end customers. Management believes that the ability to utilize
these facilities has enhanced Trump ACs revenues.  In 2000, 2001 and 2002, Trump AC incurred approximately $386,000, $241,000 and $272,000, respectively, for customer costs associated with such utilization.  In addition, in exchange
for having Trumps plane available to customers of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal, Trump AC has incurred pilot costs of approximately $241,000, $242,000 and $239,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

|    | Trump Taj Mahal Associates Administration, a separate division of Taj Associates (Trump Administration) was formed for the purpose of realizing cost savings and
operational synergies by consolidating certain administrative functions of, and providing certain services to, Plaza Associates, Taj Associates and Castle Associates. Management believes that Trump Administrations services will continue to
result in substantial cost savings and operational synergies.                                                                                                                                                                                  

(7)          Trump Worlds Fair Closing

On October 4, 1999, THCR closed Trump Worlds Fair. The estimated cost of closing Trump Worlds Fair at
December 31, 1999 was $123,959,000, which included $97,221,000 for the writedown of the net book value of the assets and $26,738,000 of costs incurred and to be incurred in connection with the closing and demolition of the building. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, an additional $814,000 was charged to operations.

(8)          Debt Renegotiation Costs

During 2002, Trump AC was seeking to refinance or modify the terms of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes which were approximately
$1,300,000,000 aggregate principal amount as of December 31, 2002.  Trump AC incurred approximately $1,570,000 in Debt Renegotiation Costs during this time period and has since terminated such efforts.  Accordingly, the debt renegotiation
costs have been expensed in the accompanying statements of operations.  Trump AC may renew its efforts to refinance or modify the Trump AC Mortgage Notes at a later date if and when capital market conditions are favorable.

(9)          Partnership Distribution

Pursuant to the indentures governing the Trump AC Mortgage Notes, Trump AC is permitted to reimburse THCR for its operating and interest
expenses.  These reimbursements are subject to limitations set forth in such indentures, including an annual limitation of $10,000,000 in operating expense reimbursements and a life-time limitation of $50,000,000 in interest expense
reimbursements.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Trump AC declared a partnership distribution to THCR of $101,341,000, consisting of $50,000,000 of prior years interest reimbursements and $51,341,000 of prior years operating expense

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 imposes 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, Trump AC has recorded a provision for current income tax expense of $2,768,000 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.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company
reclassified additional costs (primarily bus coin) from gaming expenses to promotional allowances to be consistent with prevailing industry practice which totaled $4,795,000 and $5,220,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002
and $6,344,000, $6,125,000, $6,592,000 and $5,212,000 for the three months ended, March 31, 2001, June 30, 2001, September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company agreed to donate CRDA funds in return for the use of other CRDA funds for a specific
project.  As a result of this donation, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $6,964,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002.
