NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The accompanying condensed financial statements include those of Trump
Plaza Funding, Inc. (the "Company"), a New Jersey General Corporation as
well as those of Trump Plaza Holding Associates, ("Holding") a New Jersey
General Partnership, and its 99% owned subsidiary, Trump Plaza Associates,
(the "Partnership") a New Jersey General Partnership, which owns and
operates Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino ("Trump Plaza") located in Atlantic
City, New Jersey. The Company owns the remaining 1% interest in the
Partnership. Holding's sole source of liquidity is distributions in
respect of its interest in the Partnership.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements of Holding.
The minority interest in the Partnership has not been separately reflected
in the consolidated financial statements of Holding since it is not
material.
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the
Company, Holding and the Partnership without audit. In the opinion of the
Company, Holding and the Partnership, all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented, have been made. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the
Company, Holding and the Partnership pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's, Holding's and the Partnership's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The casino industry in Atlantic City is seasonal in nature; therefore,
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

TRUMP PLAZA FUNDING, INC., TRUMP PLAZA HOLDING ASSOCIATES AND
TRUMP PLAZA ASSOCIATES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(A) On June 25, 1993 the Company issued $330,000,000 principal amount of
10 7/8% Mortgage Notes, due 2001 (the "Mortgage Notes"), net of
discount of $4,313,000. Net proceeds of the Offering were used to
redeem all of the Company's outstanding $225,000,000 principal amount
12% Mortgage Bonds, due 2002 (the "Mortgage Bonds"), and together
with other funds (see (B) Pay-In-Kind Notes), all of the Company's
Stock Units, comprised of $75,000,000 liquidation preference
participating cumulative redeemable Preferred Stock with associated
shares of Common Stock, to repay $17,500,000 principal amount 9.14%
Regency Note due 2003, to make a portion of the Special Distribution
and to pay transaction expenses.
The Mortgage Notes mature on June 15, 2001 and are redeemable at any
time on or after June 15, 1998, at the option of the Company or the
Partnership, in whole or in part, at the principal amount plus a
premium which declines ratably each year to zero in the year of
maturity. The Mortgage Notes bear interest at the stated rate of 10
7/8% per annum from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on
each June 15 and December 15, commencing December 15, 1993 and are
secured by substantially all of the Partnership's assets. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect interest
expense at the effective interest rate of 11.12% per annum.
The Mortgage Note Indenture contains certain covenants limiting the
ability of the Partnership to incur indebtedness, including
indebtedness secured by liens on Trump Plaza. In addition, the
Partnership may, under certain circumstances, incur up to $25.0
million of indebtedness to finance the expansion of its facilities,
which indebtedness may be secured by a lien on the Boardwalk
Expansion Site (See Note 6 Future Expansion) senior to the liens of
the Note Mortgage and Guarantee Mortgage thereon. The Mortgage Notes
represent the senior indebtedness of the Company. The Partnership
Note and the Guarantee rank pari passu in right of payment with all
existing and future senior indebtedness of the Partnership.
The Mortgage Notes, the Partnership Note, the Note Mortgage, the
Guarantee and the Guarantee Mortgage are non-recourse to the partners
of the Partnership, to the shareholders of the Company and to all
other persons and entities (other than the Company and the
Partnership), including Donald J. Trump ("Trump"). Upon an event of
default, holders of the Mortgage Notes would have recourse only to
the assets of the Company and the Partnership.
(B) On June 25, 1993 Holding issued $60,000,000 principal amount of 12
1/2% Pay-In-Kind Notes, due 2003 (the "PIK Notes"), together with
Warrants to acquire an additional $12,000,000 of PIK Notes at no
additional cost. The Warrants are exercisable following the earlier
of certain triggering events or June 15, 1996.
TRUMP PLAZA FUNDING, INC., TRUMP PLAZA HOLDING ASSOCIATES AND
TRUMP PLAZA ASSOCIATES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
2. LONG-TERM DEBT CONT.:
The PIK Notes mature on June 15, 2003 and bear interest at the rate
of 12 1/2 % per annum from the date of issuance, payable semi-
annually on each June 15 and December 15, commencing December 15,
1993. At the option of Holding, interest is payable in whole or in
part, in cash or, in lieu of cash, through the issuance of additional
PIK Notes valued at 100% of their principal amount. The ability of
Holding to pay interest in cash on the PIK Notes is entirely
dependent on the ability of the Partnership to distribute available
cash, as defined, to Holding for such purpose.
On December 15, 1993, and June 15, 1994 the Partnership elected to
issue in lieu of cash, an additional $3,562,000 and $3,973,000
respectively in PIK Notes to satisfy its semi-annual PIK Note
interest obligations.
The PIK Notes are subordinate to the Company's Mortgage Notes and any
other indebtedness of the Partnership and are secured by a pledge of
Holding's 99% equity interest in the Partnership. The indenture to
which the PIK Notes were issued (the "PIK Note Indenture") contains
covenants prohibiting Holding from incurring additional indebtedness
and engaging in other activities, and other covenants restricting the
activities of the Partnership substantially similar to those set
forth in the Mortgage Note Indenture. The PIK Notes and the Warrants
are non-recourse to the Partners of Holding, including Trump, and to
all other persons and entities (other than Holding). Upon an event
of default, holders of PIK Notes or Warrants will have recourse only
to the assets of Holding which consist solely of its equity interest
in the Partnership.
(C) Interest on these notes are payable with interest rates ranging from
10.0% to 11.0%. The notes are due at various dates between 1994 and
1998 and are secured by real property.
3. INCOME TAXES:
The Company, Holding and the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.
109"), effective January 1, 1993. Adoption of this new standard did not
have a significant impact on the respective statements of financial
condition or results of operations. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or tax returns. Under this method deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the
tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company include a
provision for Federal income taxes, based on distributions from the
Partnership relating to the Company's Preferred Stock which was redeemed
on June 25, 1993. The Company will be reimbursed for such income taxes by
the
TRUMP PLAZA FUNDING, INC., TRUMP PLAZA HOLDING ASSOCIATES AND
TRUMP PLAZA ASSOCIATES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
3. INCOME TAXES CONT.:
Partnership. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
of Holding and the Partnership do not include a provision for Federal
income taxes since any income or losses allocated to its partners are
reportable for Federal income tax purposes by the partners.
Under the New Jersey Casino Control Commission regulations, the
Partnership is required to file a New Jersey corporation business tax
return. Accordingly, a benefit for state income taxes has been reflected
in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Holding
and the Partnership.
The Partnership's deferred state income taxes result primarily from
differences in the timing of reporting of depreciation for tax and
financial statement purposes.
4. 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 New Jersey Casino Control Act (the "Act") the
Partnership is required to maintain certain licenses.
In April, 1993, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission ("CCC") renewed
the Partnership's license to operate Trump Plaza. This license must be
renewed in June, 1995, is not transferable and will include a review of
the financial stability of the Partnership. Upon revocation, suspension
for more than 120 days, or failure to renew the casino license, the Act
allows for the appointment of a conservator to take possession of the
hotel and casino's business and property, subject to all valid liens,
claims and encumbrances.
5. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
The Partnership, its Partners, certain members of its former Executive
Committee, and certain of its employees, have been involved in various
legal proceedings. In general, the Partnership has agreed to indemnify
such persons against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses
(including reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) and
liabilities (including amounts paid or incurred in satisfaction of
settlements, judgements, fines and penalties) incurred by them in said
legal proceedings. Such persons and entities are vigorously defending the
allegations against them and intend to vigorously contest any future
proceedings.
Various other legal proceedings are now pending against the Partnership.
The Partnership considers all such other proceedings to be ordinary
litigation incident to the character of its business and not material to
its business or financial condition. The Partnership believes that the
resolution of these claims will not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of
operations.

5. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS CONT.:
The Partnership is also a party to various administrative proceedings
involving allegations that it has violated certain provisions of the Act.
The Partnership believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will
not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition, results of operations or on the ability
of the Partnership to otherwise retain or renew any casino or other
licenses required under the Act for the operation of Trump Plaza.
6. FUTURE EXPANSION:
In 1993, the Partnership received the approval of the CCC, subject to
certain conditions, for the expansion of its hotel facilities (the
"Boardwalk Expansion Site"). On June 25, 1993, Donald J. Trump ("Trump")
transferred title to the Boardwalk Expansion Site to a lender in exchange
for a reduction in indebtedness to such lender in an amount equal to the
sum of fair market value of the Boardwalk Expansion Site and all rent
payments made to such lender by Trump under the Boardwalk Expansion Site
Lease. On June 25, 1993, the lender leased the Boardwalk Expansion Site
to Trump (the "Boardwalk Expansion Site Lease") for a term of five years,
which expires on June 30, 1998, during which time Trump is obligated to
pay the lender $260,000 per month in lease payments. In October 1993, the
Partnership assumed the Boardwalk Expansion Site Lease and related
expenses.
On June 25, 1993, the Partnership acquired a five-year option to purchase
the Boardwalk Expansion Site (the "Option"). In addition, the Partnership
has a right of first refusal upon any proposed sale of all or any portion
of the Boardwalk Expansion Site during the term of the Option. Until such
time as the Option is exercised or expires, the Partnership will be
obligated, from and after the date it entered into the Option, to pay the
net expenses associated with the Boardwalk Expansion Site. During the six
months ended June 30, 1994 the Partnership incurred $2.6 million of such
expenses. Under the Option, the Partnership has the right to acquire the
Boardwalk Expansion Site for a purchase price of $26.0 million through
1994, increasing by $1.0 million annually thereafter until expiration on
June 30, 1998. The CCC has required that the Partnership exercise the
Option or its right of first refusal no later than July 1, 1995. If the
Partnership defaults in making payments due under the Option, the
Partnership would be liable to the lender for the sum of (a) the present
value of all remaining payments to be made by the Partnership pursuant to
the Option during the term thereof and (b) the cost of demolition of all
improvements then located on the Boardwalk Expansion Site.
As of June 30, 1994, the Partnership had capitalized approximately $7.1
million in construction costs related to the Boardwalk Expansion Site.
The Partnership's ability to acquire the Boardwalk Expansion Site pursuant
to the Option would be dependent upon its ability to obtain financing to
acquire the property. The ability to incur such indebtedness is
restricted by the Mortgage Note Indenture and the PIK Note Indenture and
requires the consent of certain of Trump's personal creditors. The
Partnership's ability to develop the Boardwalk Expansion Site would be
dependent upon its ability

6. FUTURE EXPANSION CONT.:
to use existing cash on hand and generate cash flow from operations
sufficient to fund development costs. No assurance can be given that such
cash on hand will be available to the Partnership for such purposes or
that it will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. In
addition, exercise of the Option or the right of first refusal requires
the consent of certain of Trump's personal creditors, and there can be no
assurance that such consent will be obtained at the time the Partnership
desires to exercise the Option or such right.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that
may be necessary should the Partnership be unable to exercise the Option.
7. ADVANCES TO DONALD J. TRUMP:
In December 1993, Trump entered into an option agreement (the Original
"Chemical Option Agreement") with Chemical Bank ("Chemical") and ACFH Inc.
("ACFH") a wholly owned subsidiary of Chemical. The Original Chemical
Option Agreement granted to Trump an option to purchase (i) the Trump
Regency (including the land, improvements and personal property used in
the operation of the hotel) and (ii) certain promissory notes made by
Trump and/or certain of his affiliates and payable to Chemical (the
"Chemical Notes") which are secured by certain real estate assets located
in New York, unrelated to the Partnership.
The aggregate purchase price payable for the assets subject to the
Original Chemical Option Agreement was $80 million. Under the terms of
the Original Chemical Option Agreement, $1 million was required to be paid
for the option by January 5, 1994. In addition, the Original Chemical
Option Agreement provides for an expiration of the option on May 6, 1994,
subject to an extension until June 30, 1994 upon payment of an additional
$250,000 on or prior to May 6, 1994. The Original Chemical Option
Agreement did not allocate the purchase price among the assets subject to
the option or permit the option to be exercised for some, but not all, of
such assets.
In connection with the execution of the Original Chemical Option
Agreement, Trump agreed with the Partnership that, if Trump is able to
acquire the Trump Regency pursuant to the exercise of the option, he would
make the Trump Regency available for the sole benefit of the Partnership
on a basis consistent with the Partnership's contractual obligations and
requirements. Trump further agreed that the Partnership would not be
required to pay any additional consideration to Trump in connection with
any assignment of the option to purchase the Trump Regency. On January 5,
1994, the Partnership obtained the approval of the CCC to make the $1
million payment, which was made on that date. On June 16, 1994 Trump,
Chemical and ACFH entered into amended and restated the Original Chemical
Option Agreement the ("Amended Chemical Option Agreement"). The Amended
Chemical Option Agreement provides for an extension of the expiration of
the Option through September 30, 1994, upon payment of $250,000.
7. ADVANCES TO DONALD J. TRUMP CONT.:
Such payment was made on June 27, 1994. The Amended Chemical Option
Agreement provides for a $60 million option price for the Trump Regency
and one of the Chemical Notes and a separate $20 million option price for
the other Chemical Notes. The Amended Chemical Option may be terminated
if certain conditions are not met. Certain of such conditions have not
been met. Trump is engaged in discussion with Chemical regarding a
further extension of the Option.
Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Company was incorporated on March 14, 1986 as a New Jersey
corporation, and was originally formed solely to raise funds through the
issuance and sale of its debt securities for the benefit of the
Partnership. On June 25, 1993 the Company issued and the Partnership
guaranteed $330,000,000 of Mortgage Notes (for net proceeds of
$325,687,000) and Holding issued an aggregate of $60,000,000 of PIK Notes,
together with Warrants to acquire an additional $12,000,000 of PIK Notes
at no additional cost. Holding has no other assets or business other than
its 99% equity interest in the Partnership. The Company owns the
remaining 1% interest in the Partnership.
In July 1993, the Partnership received approval from the CCC, subject to
certain conditions, for the expansion of its hotel facilities on the
Boardwalk Expansion Site. The expansion will enable the Partnership to
increase Trump Plaza's casino floor space by 30,000 square feet. During
the three months ended June 30, 1994, management elected to expand the
casino floor by approximately 10,000 square feet. Management anticipates
that cash from operations, including the additional revenues anticipated
to be provided by the 10,000 square foot expansion and future expansion of
the casino floor together with Atlantic City Casino Reinvestment
Development Authority credits, will provide the working capital needed to
renovate the Boardwalk Expansion Site, although no assurances can be given
that cashflow from operations will be sufficient for such purpose. See
Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements -- Future
Expansion.
Cash flow from operating activities is the Partnership's principal source
of liquidity. For the six months ended June 30, 1994, net cash from
operating activities was $4,398,000. Interest on the Mortgage Bonds was
payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, while interest on the
Mortgage Notes is payable semi-annually on each June 15 and December 15,
commencing December 15, 1993. The decrease of $3,122,000 in net cash
provided by operating activities as compared to the comparable period in
1993 reflects the aforementioned changes in payments of accrued interest
on the Mortgage Bonds. For the six months ended June 30, 1994, cash and
cash equivalents of $11,110,000 reflects an overall decrease of $3,283,000
from $14,393,000 at December 31, 1993 which is primarily the result of
capital expenditures requirements as more fully discussed below.
Capital expenditures of $11,137,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994
increased approximately $5,586,000, from the comparable period in 1993 and
was primarily attributable to the refurbishing costs associated with the
Boardwalk Expansion Site, and the expansion of the casino floor. These
expenditures were financed from funds generated from operations. The
Boardwalk Expansion Site described in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, may require additional borrowings.
At June 30, 1994, the Partnership had a combined working capital deficit
totalling approximately $12,044,000, compared to a working capital deficit
of $1,470,000 at December 31, 1993.
Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY CONT.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, prior to amendment on
June 25, 1993, which eliminated such distribution requirements arising
from costs incurred subsequent to the June 25, 1993 Amendment, the
Partnership was required to make certain periodic distributions to the
Company and Trump sufficient to pay taxes attributable to distributions
received from the Partnership, any amounts required to be paid to
directors as fees or pursuant to indemnification obligations, premiums on
directors' and officers' liability insurance and other reasonable general
and administrative expenses. The Partnership was also required to
distribute to the Company, to the extent of cash available therefrom,
funds sufficient to enable the Company to pay dividends on, and the
redemption price of its Stock Units. For the six months ended June 30,
1994, $53,000 in distributions were made and for the comparable period in
1993, such distributions were $6,201,000.
Pursuant to the terms of a Services Agreement with Trump Plaza Management
Corp. ("TPM"), a corporation beneficially owned by Trump, in consideration
for services provided, the Partnership pays TPM each year an annual fee of
$1,000,000 in equal monthly installments, and reimburses TPM on a monthly
basis for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by TPM in
performing its obligations under the Services Agreement, up to certain
amounts. Under this Agreement, $657,000 was charged to expense for the
six months ended June 30, 1994.
The Mortgage Note Indenture and the PIK Note Indenture restrict the
ability of the Partnership to make distributions to its partners,
including restrictions relating to the achievement of certain financial
ratios. Subject to the satisfaction of these restrictions, the Partnership
may make distributions to its partners with respect to their Partnership
interests.
On June 15, 1994 the Partnership elected to issue in lieu of cash, an
additional $3,973,000 in PIK notes to satisfy its semi-annual PIK note
interest obligations.
The financial information presented below reflects the results of
operations of the Partnership. Since the Company and Holding have no
business operations other than its interest in the Partnership, their
results of operations are not discussed below.
Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Gaming revenues were $67,338,000 for three months ended June 30, 1994, a
decrease of $2,314,000 or 3.3% from gaming revenues of $69,652,000 for the
comparable period in 1993. This decrease in gaming revenues consisted of
a reduction in both table games and slot revenues. These results were
impacted by a planned casino floor expansion and Boardwalk Expansion site
construction which created inefficiencies in the operation of the casino
floor by temporarily disrupting the normal flow of patrons upon entrance
to the casino, as well as detracting from the overall appearance of the
casino floor and property surrounding and adjacent to Trump Plaza. Also,
during the three months ended June 30, 1994 Trump Plaza experienced
turnover of certain management positions, which affected operations.
Slot revenues were $44,587,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994, a
decrease of $913,000 or 2.0% from $45,500,000 in 1993.
Table games revenues were $22,751,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1994, a decrease of $1,401,000 or 5.8%, from $24,152,000 in the comparable
period in 1993. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in table
games drop (ie., the dollar value of chips purchased) by $9,145,000 or
5.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1994, from 1993.
Other revenues were $16,658,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994,
a decrease of $273,000 or 1.6%, from other revenues of $16,931,000 in the
comparable period in 1993. Other revenues include revenues from rooms,
food and beverage and miscellaneous items. The decrease primarily
reflects decreases in food and beverage revenues attendant to changes in
bus couponing to all coin as opposed to coin and food coupons in an
attempt to remain competitive in the industry.
Gaming costs and expenses were $35,007,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1994, a decrease of $287,000, or 0.8%, from operating expenses of
$35,294,000 for the comparable period in 1993. This decrease was
primarily due to decreased promotional and operating expense and taxes
associated with decreased levels of gaming revenues from the comparable
period in 1993.
Income from operations was $13,498,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1994, a decrease of $856,000 or 6.0% from income from operations of
$14,354,000 for the comparable period in 1993.
Net interest expense was $11,947,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1994, an increase of $3,101,000 or 35.1% from net interest expense of
$8,846,000 in the comparable period in 1993. This is attributable to
interest expense associated with the Mortgage Notes and PIK Notes.
Other non-operating expense was $1,330,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1994, an increase of $901,000 from non-operating expense of $429,000
for the comparable period in 1993. This increase is directly attributable
to costs associated with the Boardwalk Expansion Site. See Note 6 to the
Condensed Financial Statements -- Future Expansion.
COMPARISON OF SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Gaming revenues were $121,495,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994,
a decrease of $8,837,000 or 6.8% from gaming revenues of $130,332,000 for
the comparable period in 1993. This decrease in gaming revenues consisted
of a reduction in both table games and slot revenues. These results were
impacted by a number of major ice and snow storms throughout the
northeastern United States, during the three months ended March 31, 1994,
which severely restricted travel in the region. Bad weather also impacted
results for the three months ended March 31, 1993; however the weather
during the comparable period in 1994 was much more severe. The decrease
in gaming revenues was also due in part to a planned casino floor and
Boardwalk Expansion site construction which created inefficiencies in the
operation of the casino floor by temporarily disrupting the normal flow of
patrons upon entrance to the casino, as well as detracting from the
overall appearance of the casino floor and property surrounding and
adjacent to Trump Plaza. Also, during the three months ended June 30,
1994 Trump Plaza experienced turnover of certain management positions,
which affected operations.
Slot revenues were $77,937,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994, a
decrease of $5,053,000 or 6.1% from $82,990,000 in 1993.
Table games revenues were $43,558,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1994, a decrease of $3,784,000 or 8.0% from table games revenues of
$47,342,000 for the comparable period in 1993. This decrease was
primarily due to a reduction in table games drop (i.e., the dollar value
of chips purchased) by $25,871,000 or 8.5% for the six months ended June
30, 1994 from the comparable period in 1993, offset by a slight increase
in the table game hold percentage to 15.6% (the percentage of table drop
retained by the Partnership) for the six months ended June 30, 1994 from
15.5% for the comparable period in 1993.
Other revenues were $30,492,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994, a
decrease of $1,428,000, or 4.5% from other revenues of $31,920,000 for the
comparable period in 1993. This decrease in other revenues primarily
reflects decreases in food and beverage revenues attendant to changes in
bus couponing to all coin as opposed to coin and food coupons in an
attempt to remain competitive in the industry.
Gaming costs and expenses were $66,119,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1994, a decrease of $2,822,000 or 4.1% from gaming costs and expenses
of $68,941,000 for the comparable period in 1993. This decrease was
primarily due to operating expenses and taxes associated with decreased
levels of gaming activity and revenues from the comparable period in 1993.
Income from operations was $16,103,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1994, a decrease of $4,834,000 or 23.1% from income from operations of
$20,937,000 for the comparable period in 1993.
Net interest expense was $23,974,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1994, an increase of $7,700,000 or 47.3% from net interest expense of
$16,274,000 in the comparable period in 1993. This is attributable to
interest expense associated with the Mortgage Notes and PIK Notes.
COMPARISON OF SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Other non-operating expense was $2,810,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1994, an increase of $2,322,000 from non-operating expense of $488,000
for the comparable period in 1993. This increase is directly attributable
to $2,556,000 in costs associated with the Boardwalk Expansion Site and
$253,000 in costs associated with donations. See Note 6 to the Condensed
Financial Statements -- Future Expansion.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

certiorari was filed.
With reference to the state court proceedings, BPHC's application for
reconsideration of the Court's determination that the judgment
entered on October 13, 1993 in favor of the Trump parties was denied
on November 19, 1993. On November 29, 1993, BPHC Acquisition, Inc.
and BPHC Parking Corp. filed a notice of appeal. BPHC unsuccessfully
moved to dismiss this appeal. This appeal was subsequently
consolidated with BPHC's appeal from the Final Judgement entered in
