These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets applicable to participants' equity of the Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets applicable to participants' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statements of net assets applicable to participants' equity and the statement of changes in net assets applicable to participants' equity is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets applicable to participants' equity and the changes in net assets applicable to participants' equity of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TRUMP TAJ MAHAL HOTEL & CASINO SAVINGS PLAN ------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ---------------------- ACCOUNTING POLICIES: --------------------- Basis of Accounting- -------------------- The accompanying financial statements of the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel & Casino Savings Plan (the "Plan") have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Plan Expenses- -------------- Expenses related to the administration of the Plan have been paid by Trump Taj Mahal Associates (the "Plan Sponsor"). These costs represent trustee fees and professional services and amounted to approximately $47,000 in 1998. Investments- ------------ The investments included in the statements of net assets applicable to participants' equity are stated at market value. Market value, which is equivalent to current value, is the unit valuation of the security at the plan year-end as determined by Merrill Lynch Trust Company, the trustee of the Plan (the "Trustee"). Accounting records are maintained on the accrual basis, investment transactions are recorded on the trade date basis and gains and losses are calculated based upon an aggregate participant cost that is maintained on an average unit cost basis. Use of Estimates- ----------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets 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. Reclassifications- ------------------ Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. (2) PLAN DESCRIPTION: ----------------- The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. -2- General- -------- The Plan is a 401(k) Savings Plan, which was established by the Plan Sponsor and became effective on January 1, 1989. All full or part-time non-union employees become eligible for participation in the Plan on the enrollment date immediately following the completion of 12 months of service and the attainment of age 18. The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Plan Sponsor (the "Plan Administrator"). Merrill Lynch Trust Company was appointed as the trustee of the Plan by the Plan Administrator. Contributions- -------------- Participants- ------------- Non-highly compensated participants, as defined, are eligible to voluntarily contribute to the Plan up to 15% of their annual compensation (effective January 1, 1999, 20% of annual compensation), as defined. Highly compensated participants, as defined, are eligible to voluntarily contribute to the Plan up to 6% of their annual compensation, as defined. Tax deferred contributions are subject to a limit by the Internal Revenue Code. The 1998 limit was $10,000 per participant. Contributions to the Plan are invested by the Trustee, as designated by the participant, in increments of 5%. Plan Sponsor- ------------- The Plan Sponsor contributes to the Plan 50% of each participant's contributions, not to exceed 3% of the participant's annual compensation, as defined. Participant Rollovers- ---------------------- The Plan permits eligible participants, as defined, to rollover cash or other property acceptable to the Plan Administrator from another qualified plan in addition to qualified voluntary participant contributions. Distributions to Participants- ------------------------------ Each participant has a fully vested interest in the amount of his or her contributions together with the allocable Plan earnings. Contributions from the Plan Sponsor vest based on the vesting schedule described below. The full value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account in the Plan will be distributed upon termination of the participant's employment. The normal form of payment is by lump sum; however, if a participant's vested benefit from all contributions exceeds $5,000, a participant has the right to receive payment in equal periodic monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments over a period not to exceed ten years. A participant may also withdraw all or part of his or her account upon attainment of age 59-1/2 or financial hardship, as defined in the Plan. Upon termination of employment prior to eligibility for retirement, a participant is eligible to receive the vested balance in his or her account. There were no payments due to participants who have requested to withdraw their funds prior to December 31, 1998 or 1997. -3- Vesting- -------- Voluntary contributions are fully vested at all times and are not subject to forfeiture. The Plan Sponsor's contributions vest based upon the participant's years of continuous service as follows- Years of Continuous Percentage Vested Service ------------------------- --------------------- Less than two years 0% Two years 25% Three years 50% Four years 75% Five years or more 100% Forfeitures- ------------ The portion of a former participant's account which is not distributed because of the vesting provision will reduce the amount of the Plan Sponsor's future contributions. During 1998, $52,821 was used to reduce Plan Sponsor contributions. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, $28 and $69 were available to reduce future Plan Sponsor contributions, respectively. Loans- ------ The Plan permits participants to borrow from their accounts at terms established by the Plan Administrator. Participants may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance for specific reasons, as defined by the Plan. Each loan is secured by the borrower's vested interest in the Plan and is subject to other requirements, as defined. Interest on loans is charged at a rate that is comparable to similar loans made by commercial lenders. Loans outstanding as of December 31, 1998 had interest rates ranging from 8.75% to 9.50%. Loan repayment terms range up to five years (fifteen years if the loan was used to purchase a primary residence). A small administrative fee is required to process all loans.

READY ASSETS TRUST FUND - Fund investing in money market funds. (4) TAX STATUS: ----------- The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on August 18, 1994, which covered all amendments through January 1, 1993, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial statement date. (5) PLAN TERMINATION: ----------------- While the Plan Sponsor has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, the Plan Sponsor may do so at any time subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In the event of termination, each participant is entitled to the value of his or her separate account. -5- (6) RELATED PARTY ------------- TRANSACTIONS: ------------- Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch Trust Company is the Trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. Certain Plan investments include shares of THCR common stock ("Common Stock") and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Plan holds Common Stock with a market value of $500,100 and $281,587, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1998, Common Stock was acquired at a cost of $1,096,185; and Common Stock was sold with an original cost basis of $702,603.
