NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share data)

(1) Organization, Reorganization and Emergence from Chapter 11 and Basis of Presentation

Organization - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. (formerly known as Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“TER” or the “Company”) and our subsidiaries. Except where otherwise noted, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms, as well as “Company,” refer to Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. Our majority-owned subsidiary, Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, L.P. (formerly known as Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership and its respective subsidiaries are referred to as “TER Holdings.” Through TER Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries we own and operate the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (“Trump Taj Mahal”), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (“Trump Plaza”) and Trump Marina Hotel Casino (“Trump Marina”) in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Until December 21, 2005, we also owned and operated a riverboat casino in Gary, Indiana. During September 2005, TER Keystone Development Co., LLC (“TER Keystone”) was formed by TER Holdings to pursue a gaming license in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

TER currently beneficially owns an approximately 76.5% profits interest in TER Holdings, as both a general and limited partner, and Donald J. Trump (“Mr. Trump”) owns directly and indirectly an approximately 23.5% profits interest in TER Holdings, as a limited partner. Mr. Trump’s limited partnership interests are exchangeable at Mr. Trump’s option into 9,377,484 shares of TER’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “TER Common Stock”) (subject to certain adjustments), which, if exchanged, would give Mr. Trump ownership of an aggregate of approximately 26.3% of the TER Common Stock (including shares currently held directly by Mr. Trump) or approximately 28.8% assuming currently exercisable warrants held by Mr. Trump were exercised. Mr. Trump also holds 900 shares of TER’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The Class B Common Stock has the voting equivalency of the 9,377,484 shares of TER Common Stock for which his limited partnership interests in TER Holdings may be exchanged, and generally votes on all matters with the TER Common Stock as a single class. The Class B Common Stock is redeemable at par to the extent that Mr. Trump exchanges his limited partnership interests in TER Holdings for TER Common Stock and is not entitled to receive any dividends.

Reorganization and Emergence from Chapter 11 - On November 21, 2004, our predecessor, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”), as part of a prearranged plan of reorganization. While in bankruptcy, the Debtors continued to manage their properties and operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.

On April 5, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended and Restated Joint Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 30, 2005, of the Debtors, as amended (the “Plan”). The Plan became effective on May 20, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), at which time all material conditions to the Plan were satisfied and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contains disclosures regarding the reorganization, including fresh-start accounting, reorganization expense (income) and related costs, $8.0 million in 10 year warrants issued to Mr. Trump and the extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt recorded by our Predecessor Company.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

December 31, 2005 as filed with the SEC and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report, available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or our website at www.trumpcasinos.com.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries and partnerships. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions. We view each casino property as an operating segment and all such operating segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment.

Our discontinued operations include the results of Trump Indiana, which was sold on December 21, 2005. Net revenues for Trump Indiana were $19,216, $15,612 and $52,160 for the period from April 1, 2005 through May 19, 2005, the period from May 20, 2005 through June 30, 2005 and the period from January 1, 2005 through May 19, 2005, respectively. Included in income from discontinued operations is an allocation of interest expense based on Trump Indiana’s nonrelated party debt assumed by the purchaser of Trump Indiana of $14, $23 and $17 for the period from April 1, 2005 through May 19, 2005, the period from May 20, 2005 through June 30, 2005 and the period from January 1, 2005 through May 19, 2005, respectively. Included in income from discontinued operations for the period from January 1, 2005 to May 19, 2005 is $134,750 of net reorganization gain.

From the filing of the Chapter 11 petition to the Effective Date, our Predecessor Company operated as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for periods from the filing of the Chapter 11 petition through the emergence from Chapter 11, were prepared in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code” (“SOP 90-7”). SOP 90-7 required the reporting of pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise separately on the balance sheet at an estimate of the amount ultimately allowable by the Bankruptcy Court. SOP 90-7 also required separate reporting of certain expenses relating to the Debtors’ Chapter 11 filings as reorganization items.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11, we adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with SOP 90-7. Under fresh-start reporting, a new entity was deemed to have been created for financial reporting purposes and the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values. The term “Predecessor Company” refers to the Company and its subsidiaries for periods prior to and including May 19, 2005, and the term “Reorganized Company” refers to the Company and its subsidiaries for periods on and subsequent to May 20, 2005.

As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Reorganized Company’s post-emergence financial statements are generally not comparable with the financial statements of the Predecessor Company prior to its emergence from bankruptcy, including the historical financial statements included in this report. Due to the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Predecessor Company and Reorganized Company financial statements are prepared on different bases.

Under the terms of the Predecessor Company’s Reorganization Plan (the “Plan”), any of the Reorganized Company’s Senior Secured Notes, cash, common stock or Class A Warrants issued to the Plan’s disbursing agent and not distributed as of May 20, 2006, revert to the Reorganized Company. As of May 20, 2006, undistributed amounts included $1,020 in Senior Secured Notes, $414 in cash and 36,809 shares of TER Common Stock. Goodwill has been reduced by $1,434 and our Senior Secured Notes have been reduced by $1,020 reflecting this provision.

Senior Secured Credit Facility - On May 20, 2005, we and TER Holdings entered into an agreement for a $500,000 senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders. Pursuant to the Credit Facility, as amended, the lenders have agreed to provide TER Holdings (i) a revolving credit facility in the amount of $200,000, (ii) a single-draw term loan facility in the amount of $150,000, which was drawn on the Effective Date, and (iii) a delayed draw term loan facility in the amount of $150,000, which may be drawn in multiple borrowings through November 20, 2006. The Credit Facility also includes a sub-facility for letters of credit in an amount of up to $70,000. At June 30, 2006, we have outstanding letters of credit of $40,000 under the Credit Facility.

Proceeds from the term loans may be utilized to (i) pay off amounts outstanding under the debtor-in-possession financing, which occurred on the Effective Date, (ii) fund the construction of a new tower at the Trump Taj Mahal, (iii) pay fees and expenses in connection with our restructuring, and (iv) provide for ongoing working capital and general corporate needs; provided that $150,000 of the term loan is restricted to fund construction of a new tower at the Trump Taj Mahal. The Credit Facility may be used to fund ongoing working capital requirements of TER Holdings and its subsidiaries and other general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility matures on May 20, 2010. The term loan matures on May 20, 2012, and must be repaid during the final year of such loans in equal quarterly amounts, subject to amortization of approximately 1.0% per year prior to the final year.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all the assets of TER Holdings and its subsidiaries. TER Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries except TER Keystone. We and our subsidiaries are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants and must comply with certain financial covenants. Such financial covenants include maintenance of a leverage ratio of 8.75 to 1, a lien coverage ratio of 2.25 to 1 and an interest coverage ratio of 1.35 to 1. We were in compliance with such covenants as of June 30, 2006.

Senior Secured Notes - On the Effective Date, TER Holdings and its wholly owned finance subsidiary, Trump Entertainment Resorts Funding, Inc. (“TER Funding”) issued $1,250,000 of Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Notes”). These Senior Notes were used to pay distributions under the Plan. The Senior Notes due June 1, 2015, bear interest at 8.5% per annum. $1,020 of the Senior Secured Notes were returned to us under the terms of the Predecessor Company’s Bankruptcy Plan and retired on May 20, 2006.

$730,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is nonrecourse to the issuers and to the partners of TER Holdings (the “Qualified Portion”). $520,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is recourse to the issuers and to TER, in its capacity as general partner of TER Holdings (the “Non-Qualified Portion”).

The Non-Qualified Portion and Qualified Portion are recalculated on a periodic basis no less frequently than annually based on certain tax considerations, provided that in no event will the Qualified Portion exceed $730,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes.

 

14


TER Holdings and TER Funding are co-issuers of the Senior Notes. All other subsidiaries of TER Holdings, except TER Keystone, are guarantors (the “Guarantors”) of the Senior Notes on a joint and several basis.

The Senior Notes are senior obligations of the issuers and are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors and rank senior in right of payment to the issuers’ and Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the issuers and the Guarantors on a priority basis, the Senior Notes and the guarantees thereof are effectively subordinated to amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility.

The Senior Notes are secured by substantially all of our real property and incidental personal property, subject to liens securing amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility and certain permitted prior liens. The issuers and Guarantors of the Senior Notes are subject to certain covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes. Under these covenants, TER Holdings and the Guarantors are subject to limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and payment of dividends.

Our various debt agreements restrict the ability of TER and its subsidiaries to make distributions or pay dividends unless certain financial ratios are achieved and to make distributions from TER Holdings to TER.

(4) Stock-based Compensation Plans

Reorganized Company -

Our shareholders approved the 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the “2005 Stock Plan”) allowing for incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other stock-based awards to our officers, employees, consultants and independent directors. A total of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock has been reserved for the issuance of awards available for grant under the 2005 Stock Plan.

In accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R, which we adopted on May 20, 2005, we recorded compensation expense for our stock option and restricted stock awards of $3,002 for the period from January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2006. Such expense is included in general and administrative expenses.

Restricted Stock - At June 30, 2006, we have 375,127 shares of restricted stock issued and outstanding. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested restricted stock to be recognized over the remaining contractual life was $4,004. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of outstanding restricted stock grants at June 30, 2006, was 1.3 years.

Stock Options - At June 30, 2006 we have issued 300,000 stock options which vest in 100,000 share increments on July 1, 2008, 2009 and 2010. At June 30, 2006, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested stock options to be recognized over the remaining contractual life was $1,968.

Our current federal income tax provision reflects the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and our deferred income tax provision reflects the impact of changes to valuation allowances. Predecessor Company net operating losses utilized to offset taxable income of the Reorganized Company are recorded in our provision for income taxes as a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes and as a reduction to goodwill, if available, and then to other intangible assets and additional paid-in-capital to the extent goodwill would be reduced to zero. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our goodwill has been reduced by $475 for our non-cash charge in lieu of taxes.

Federal and State Income Tax Audits -

Certain of our subsidiaries are currently involved in examinations with the IRS concerning their federal partnership income tax returns for the tax years 2002 through 2004. While any adjustments resulting from this examination could affect their specific state income tax returns, we do not believe that adjustments, if any, will have a material adverse effect on their financial condition or results of operations.

At June 30, 2006, we have accrued $15,900 to reflect Trump Indiana’s expected federal and state income amounts due (including interest) related to Trump Indiana’s IRS audit for the years 1995 through 1997 and the impact on all subsequent years through December 21, 2005, the date of the sale of Trump Indiana to Majestic Star Casino, LLC (“Majestic Star”). In accordance with the terms of our Stock Purchase Agreement with Majestic Star, TER Holdings has assumed the liability for expected federal and state income taxes (including interest) related to Trump Indiana for the tax years 1995 through December 21, 2005. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006 we reached a settlement with the IRS for the years 1995 through 1997. Based upon this settlement, management reduced the estimated accrual by $6,000 for the years 1995 through 1997 and all subsequent years through December 21, 2005 and have reduced goodwill accordingly.

State income taxes for our New Jersey operations are computed under the alternative minimum assessment method. We believe our New Jersey partnerships are exempt from these taxes and, as such, have not remitted payments of the amounts provided. The New Jersey Division of Taxation has issued an assessment to collect the unpaid taxes for the tax years 2002 and 2003. At June 30, 2006, we have accrued $20,700 for taxes and interest relating to this alternative minimum tax assessment for 2002 and 2003, as well as the open years 2004 through June 30, 2006. We are currently in discussions with the New Jersey Division of Taxation regarding settlement of these assessments.

Tax Distributions -

TER Holdings’ partnership agreement requires distributions to its partners, TER and Mr. Trump, sufficient in amount to cover all federal, state and local income taxes incident to their ownership of TER Holdings, including special allocations of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits. TER Holdings made distributions of $3,420 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition, the partnership agreement contains an indemnification clause which may result in additional payments to Mr. Trump upon the disposition of any of our existing casino properties. The amount of these indemnification payments would be sufficient in amount to cover the impact of the disposition on Mr. Trump’s federal, state and local income tax positions up to $100,000 and would only be due if Mr. Trump would not consent to the transaction.

(6) Subsidiary Guarantors

As described in Note 2 above, TER Holdings and its wholly-owned finance subsidiary, TER Funding, are co-issuers of our Senior Notes and the Guarantors are guarantors of the Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. TER Funding has no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of our Senior Notes. As the assets, interest expense and cash flows relating to our Senior Notes are included in captioned “TER Holdings” columns in the following condensed consolidating financial statements, we have not shown TER Funding as a separate column in our subsidiary guarantor consolidating financial statements contained in this footnote.

Condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are as follows:

(7) Commitments and Contingencies

TER Keystone – Keystone Redevelopment Partners, of which TER Keystone is the majority partner, has obtained a letter of credit for $10,000 in connection with the application for a Pennsylvania gaming license. The Keystone Redevelopment partnership has pledged its lease option under its Option Agreement with Hunting Fox Associates I, L.P. as security for this letter of credit. In addition, we have pledged our interest in TER Keystone as additional collateral.

Casino Reinvestment Development Authority Obligations - Pursuant to the provisions of the Casino Control Act, we must either obtain investment tax credits, as defined in the Casino Control Act, in an amount equivalent to 1.25% of our gross casino revenues, as defined in the Casino Control Act, or pay an alternative tax of 2.5% of our gross casino revenues. Investment tax credits may be obtained by making qualified investments, as defined, or by depositing funds which may be converted to bonds by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (“CRDA”), both of which bear interest at two-thirds of market rates resulting in a fair value lower than cost. Certain of our subsidiaries are required to make quarterly deposits with the CRDA to satisfy their investment obligations.

NJSEA Subsidy Agreement - On April 12, 2004, the 12 Atlantic City casinos (the “Casinos”), including our Atlantic City properties, executed an agreement (the “NJSEA Subsidy Agreement”) with the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) and the CRDA. The NJSEA Subsidy Agreement provides that the Casinos, on a pro rata basis according to their gross revenues, shall: (i) pay $34,000 to the NJSEA in cash in four yearly payments through October 15, 2007, and donate $52,000 to the NJSEA from the regular payment of their CRDA obligations for use by the NJSEA through 2008 to enhance purses, fund breeders awards and establish account wagering at New Jersey horse racing tracks; and (ii) donate $10,000 from the regular payment of their CRDA obligations for use by the CRDA as grants to such other North Jersey projects as the CRDA shall determine. The donation of $62,000 of CRDA obligations is conditioned upon the timely enactment and funding of the Casino Expansion Fund Act, which was enacted effective August 25, 2004, and established the Atlantic City Expansion Fund. The Casino Expansion Fund Act further identifies the casino hotel room occupancy fee as its funding source and directs the CRDA to provide the fund with $62,000 and make that amount available, on a pro rata basis, to each casino licensee for investment. By statute, as amended, as of January 26, 2005, such funds shall be invested in eligible projects in Atlantic City that, if approved by the CRDA by August 25, 2006, would add hotel rooms, retail, dining or non-gaming entertainment venues or other non-gaming amenities including, in certain circumstances, parking spaces or, if approved thereafter, additional hotel rooms. Our Atlantic City properties have estimated their portion of the industry obligation at approximately 23%.

The NJSEA Subsidy Agreement further provides for a moratorium until January 2009 on the conduct of casino gaming at any New Jersey racetrack (unless casinos controlling a majority of the hotel rooms operated by the casinos in Atlantic City otherwise agree), and a moratorium until January 2006 on the introduction of casino gaming at any New Jersey racetrack. Violation of the moratorium terminates the NJSEA Subsidy Agreement and all further payment obligations to the NJSEA and requires the NJSEA to return all undistributed cash to the casinos and the CRDA to return all undistributed donated investment alternative tax obligation payments to the casinos.

CAFRA Agreement – Trump Taj Mahal received a permit under the Coastal Area Facilities Review Act (“CAFRA”) (which is included as a condition of Trump Taj Mahal casino license) that initially required Trump Taj Mahal to begin construction of certain improvements on the Steel Pier by October 1992, which improvements were to be completed within 18 months of the commencement of construction. Trump Taj Mahal initially proposed a concept to improve the Steel Pier, the estimated cost of which was $30,000. 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 an 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, pursuant to which Trump Taj Mahal leases the Steel Pier to an amusement park operator, terminates on December 31, 2006.

(8) Legal Proceedings

Chapter 11 Cases - Although we have emerged from bankruptcy, we still are in the process of resolving various claims and other litigation in connection with the Plan, which may continue for the foreseeable future.

On July 18, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court considered a motion brought by a certain group of persons alleging that they had held shares of our Predecessor Company’s Common Stock on the record date for distributions under the Plan (and who subsequently sold their shares prior to the distribution date) but did not receive any distributions under the Plan, which they believe were wrongly made to the beneficial holders of our stock on the distribution date. The movants had sought an order compelling us to make distributions to them under the Plan. After additional briefing and a court hearing with respect to the issue on October 8, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court denied the movants’ motion on February 17, 2006. The movants filed an appeal from the judgment entered in the Bankruptcy Court in favor of the Predecessor Company. The appeal is pending in the United States District Court for the district of New Jersey.

401(k) Plan Participant Litigation - On February 8, 2005, certain individuals filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Camden Division, against certain persons and organizations that included members of the Trump Capital Accumulation Plan Administrative Committee. In their complaint, the plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that such persons and organizations, who were responsible for managing the Trump Capital Accumulation Plan, breached their fiduciary duties owed to the plan participants when THCR Common Stock held in employee accounts was allegedly sold without participant authorization if the participant did not willingly sell such shares by a specified date in accordance with the Plan. The plaintiffs brought this suit under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 on behalf of themselves and certain other plan participants and beneficiaries and sought to have the court certify their claims as a class action. In their complaint, the plaintiffs also sought, among other things, damages for losses suffered by certain accounts of affected plan participants as a result of such allegedly improper sale of our Predecessor Company’s Common Stock and reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. The parties have commenced discovery, which is ongoing in this matter. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of such litigation or its effect on our business.

Other Litigation - In addition to the foregoing, we and certain of our employees are involved from time to time in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While any proceeding or litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management believes that the final outcomes of these other matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. In general, we have agreed to indemnify our employees and our directors 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 any legal proceedings absent a showing of such persons’ gross negligence or malfeasance.

Overview

We own and operate the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino and the Trump Marina Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Basis of Presentation

For the purposes of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, we have combined the period from January 1, 2005 to May 19, 2005 (Predecessor Company) and the period from May 20, 2005 to June 30, 2005 (Reorganized Company) into the six months ended June 30, 2005 and we combined the period from April 1, 2005 to May 19, 2005 (Predecessor Company) and the period from May 20, 2005 to June 30, 2005 (Reorganized Company) into the three months ended June 30, 2005. We believe this combination provides for the best comparison of our operating performance for the respective periods. Differences occurring in the periods which were caused by the financial statements being prepared on different bases of accounting are indicated in the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations.

 

32


Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. Cash flows from the operating activities of our casino properties along with borrowings under our revolving credit facility generally constitute our primary source of liquidity. Our cash flows have generally been sufficient to fund operations and make interest payments when due. Nonetheless, prior to our reorganization, our core businesses historically did not generate cash flows sufficient to reinvest in the maintenance or expansion of our casino properties at levels consistent with those of our competitors. Due to this constrained liquidity position, we were unable to refurbish our properties to desired levels or to pursue various capital expenditures, such as the addition of more hotel rooms, or undertake significant new business initiatives.

We achieved a significant increase in financial flexibility and a meaningful reduction in interest expense as a result of our May 20, 2005, debt restructuring and emergence from bankruptcy. Our management has also implemented programs to improve cash flow and will continue to attempt to implement such programs in the upcoming years. These programs include, among others, labor savings through a more efficient management structure and employee scheduling, changes to our marketing programs and better management of our hotel room blocks. Based upon our current implementation of programs to achieve operational improvements in cash flows along with our current and planned capital expenditures, we expect improvement in our cash flows from operations over time resulting in positive cash flows from operations. However, we cannot assure you that these programs will be successful or sustainable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we generated $6.1 million in cash flows from operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Reorganized Company and Predecessor Company used $33.3 million for operating activities including discontinued operations. Due to our reorganization, cash flows from operations between periods are not comparable due to a reduction in interest expense of $36.1 million resulting from our reorganization refinancing. Also effecting comparability is our payment of accounts payable and accrued interest on a current basis following our emergence from Chapter 11.

Cash used for our investing activities, primarily for capital expenditures, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $61.7 million compared to $64.3 million used by the Reorganized Company and Predecessor Company during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we used $20.1 million for financing activities primarily to repay $17.1 million of our capital lease obligations and pay $2.7 million in partnership distributions to Mr. Trump. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Reorganized Company and Predecessor Company provided $108.6 million from financing activities as a result of our refinancing and emergence from Chapter 11. Due to our reorganization, during 2005, cash flows from financing activities are not comparable between periods.

At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $152.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents do not include the $46.1 million in restricted cash and interest from the sale of Trump Indiana.

At June 30, 2006, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Senior Secured Line of Credit and a $148.5 million outstanding term loan under our Credit Facility. We also had outstanding $1,249.0 million of Senior Notes. At June 30, 2006, we had outstanding letters of credit of $50.0 million. As of August 2, 2006, subject to the limitations imposed by our debt to EBITDA ratio, availability under the Credit Facility was approximately $160.0 million. Under the terms of our Credit Facility, we have a $150.0 million term loan facility which will expire if not drawn upon by November 20, 2006. We plan to draw upon this term loan prior to its expiration to fund our hotel construction at the Taj Mahal.

In order to increase the competitiveness of our casino properties, we have made significant capital expenditures to renovate, re-theme and expand our casinos and plan to make additional expenditures in the future. For example, we have commenced a $110 million capital improvement program to re-theme and update our three casino properties. In addition, we began construction on an approximately $250 million new 800-room hotel tower and connecting structure to expand our existing facility at the Trump Taj Mahal. Completion of this new hotel tower is expected to take approximately two years. Additionally, we have embarked on a recurring maintenance capital program. Capital expenditures toward these projects in 2006 for the remaining six months of 2006 are expected to be as follows:

 

Re-theming and renovation capital

   $75 to $80 million

New Taj Mahal tower

   $25 to $30 million

Maintenance capital

   $45 to $50 million
    

2006 estimated range

   $145 to $160 million
    

 

33


In addition, we seek investment opportunities from time to time to expand our business beyond our existing properties. For instance, in December 2005, we, together with a joint venture partner, applied for a casino slot license at a site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Should we be successful, our current plans are to build a permanent casino project at a cost of approximately $350 million.

We believe that cash on hand, available borrowing capacity and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating, capital expenditure and debt service obligations. While we believe that our sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet our cash obligations during the next 12 months, our ability to meet our operating and debt service obligations depends on a number of factors, including our existing cash on hand, cash flows generated by our operating subsidiaries and compliance with our debt covenants. In addition, if we decide to pursue additional capital projects or if we are successful in obtaining a gaming license in Philadelphia, we will need to obtain additional financing in the future.

Failure to achieve profitability or maintain or achieve various other financial performance levels could diminish our ability to sustain operations, meet financial covenants, obtain additional funds or make required payments on our indebtedness. In addition, given the restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness imposed under the Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes, we cannot assure you that other sources of funds will be available to us, or if available, at terms favorable to us.

TER has minimal operations, except for its ownership of TER Holdings and its subsidiaries. TER depends on the receipt of sufficient funds from its subsidiaries to meet its financial obligations. In addition, the terms of TER’s subsidiaries’ indebtedness limit the payment of dividends and other distributions to TER under many circumstances. The ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to TER Holdings may also be restricted by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, incurrence of indebtedness, mergers, sales of assets, investments, restricted payments, capital expenditures, agreements with affiliates, our activities and amendment of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, among other limitations. In addition, we must comply with certain financial covenants, including the ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA, consolidated first lien debt to EBITDA and EBITDA to cash interest expense. We were in compliance with such covenants as of June 30, 2006.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interest, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us.

Comparison of Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Each of our properties’ operating results were as follows:

Trump Taj Mahal – Net revenues increased by $10.8 million or 9.5%, to $125.3 million primarily as a result of increased gaming revenues of $8.4 million and decreases in promotional allowances of $0.5 million. Our revenues reflect year over year improvement in all areas of operations. Before consideration of reorganization income of $104.8 million recorded in 2005, our operating expenses increased by $5.1 million, comprised of increases in general and administrative expenses of $4.4 million and increases in all other expenses of $2.2 million, offset by a $1.5 million decrease in depreciation primarily due to the write-down of net fixed assets by $49.4 million during 2005 to reflect fresh-start accounting. Significant components of our increase in general and administrative costs included increases in insurance of $1.2 million, entertainment of $0.9 million, incentive compensation of $0.7 million and advertising of $0.4 million. The increase in our other expenses of $2.1 million primarily relates to increases in our rooms and food and beverage costs relating to our overall increase in the related revenues.

 

35


Trump Plaza- Overall gaming revenues remained stable at $76.9 million vs. $77.0 million while total revenues declined by $1.9 million. The decrease in total revenues was primarily a result of a $0.9 million decrease in food and beverage revenues due to the closure of our main twenty-four hour restaurant for remodeling and $0.5 million as a result of reduced entertainment and other revenues. This restaurant reopened during the second quarter. While total revenues decreased by $1.9 million, our net revenues remained stable at $70.0 million due to a decrease in our promotional allowances of $1.9 million resulting from reductions in our slot coin marketing offers and reductions in complimentary rooms and food and beverages provided to our customers. Before consideration of reorganization income of $17.4 million recorded in 2005, our costs and expenses increased by $1.2 million due to increased advertising by $0.4 million, severance cost of $0.5 million and $0.3 million in other expenses.

Trump Marina – A decrease in gaming revenues of $1.4 million, or 2.3%, and a decrease in food and beverage revenues of $0.8 million were partially offset by a decrease in promotional allowances of $1.2 million resulting in a reduction in net revenues of $0.9 million, or 1.4%, to $60.7 million. The decrease in gaming revenues is due primarily to a decrease in slot revenues of $2.2 million as a result of the impact of planned reductions in slot coin marketing offers offset by an increase in table games revenues of $0.8 million. The decrease in our promotional allowances was a result of a $0.5 million reduction in our slot coin marketing offers and a $0.7 million decrease in promotional food and beverage coupons. Before consideration of reorganization expenses of $42.0 million recorded in 2005, our costs and expenses decreased by $1.5 million due to reductions in payroll expenses of $0.5 million, decreases in depreciation expense of $0.6 million and net reductions in other costs.

Corporate and Other – Before consideration of fresh-start accounting expenses of $50.5 million and a charge of $8.0 million related to 10 year warrants issued to Mr. Trump in connection with a services agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2005, corporate and other expenses increased by approximately $4.2 million. This increase is due primarily to $1.4 million for stock based compensation expense under FAS 123R, $1.9 million for legal and development costs and $0.9 million for other corporate expenses.

Our other overall costs were as follows:

Interest Income – Interest income increased by approximately $2.3 million from the comparable period in 2005. This increase reflects income from our invested cash and cash equivalents which have increased following our sale of Trump Indiana in December 2005.

Interest Expense – Interest expense decreased by approximately $13.9 million, or 29.9%, from the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in interest expense was due to the reorganization of our long-term debt which resulted in lower principal amounts due and significantly reduced interest rates.

Minority Interest – Following reorganization, minority interest for the reorganized company represents the 23.5% limited partnership interest in TER Holdings owned directly and indirectly by Mr. Trump. Our minority interest expense from continuing operations reflects the benefit of $1.5 million for the proportionate share of loss attributable to Mr. Trump’s interest in TER Holdings and $0.2 million for other minority interests in TER Holdings subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes – Our provision for income taxes on continuing operations reflects an expense for state income taxes of $1.3 million in 2006 compared to $1.4 million in 2005. These provisions are primarily for state income taxes with 2006 including a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $0.1 million.

Discontinued Operations – Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005, includes income from our Trump Indiana riverboat casino sold in December 2005. The income from Trump Indiana for the three months ended June 30, 2005, includes $134.8 million in reorganization income and related costs. The tax provision for discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005, includes a $20.0 million provision for state and federal taxes relating to audits of our income tax returns.

Comparison of Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Each of our properties’ operating results were as follows:

Trump Taj Mahal – Net revenues increased by $15.5 million or 6.9%, to $242.6 million as a result of increases in our total revenues of $10.0 million and decreases in promotional allowances of $5.5 million due to changes in our marketing programs. Our revenues reflect year over year improvement in all areas of operations including increases in gaming revenues of $6.7 million, rooms revenues of $1.4 million, food and beverage revenues of $1.1 million and other revenues of $0.8 million. Before consideration of reorganization income of $104.8 million recorded in

 

36


2005, our operating expenses increased by $4.1 million, comprised of increases in general and administrative expenses of $6.9 million and increases in all other expenses of $2.5 million, offset by a $5.3 million decrease in depreciation due to the write-down of net fixed assets by $49.4 million during 2005 to reflect fresh-start accounting. Significant components of our increase in general and administrative costs included increases in insurance of $1.4 million, utilities of $1.1 million, entertainment of $0.9 million, incentive compensation of $0.7 million and advertising of $0.5 million. The increase in our other expenses of $2.5 million primarily relate to increases in our rooms and food and beverage costs relating to our increase in the related revenues.

Trump Plaza- A decrease in gaming revenues of $3.6 million, or 2.4%, resulted in a decrease in net revenues of $0.5 million to $133.4 million. This decrease in casino revenues is due primarily to a decrease in slot revenues of $4.4 million, offset by an increase in table revenues of $0.8 million as a result of anticipated disruptions from renovations to the casino and the impact of planned reductions in slot coin marketing offers. Promotional allowances decreased by $6.5 million to $42.0 million including a decrease in slot coin marketing offers of $2.6 million and a reduction in complimentary rooms of $1.5 million. The remaining decrease in promotional allowances reflects reductions in food and beverage revenues and other revenues provided to customers on a complimentary basis. Before consideration of reorganization income of $17.4 million recorded in 2005, our costs and expenses increased by $0.3 million. While we have increased our advertising by $0.3 million and have incurred severance charges of $0.5 million, changes in the management of our operations, including reductions in expenses corresponding to reductions in complimentary rooms and food and beverages, along with reductions in the number of employees, have contributed to expense reductions resulting in a $0.3 million net increase in our operating expenses.

Trump Marina – A decrease in gaming revenues of $4.9 million, or 3.9%, and a decrease in food and beverage revenues of $1.4 million were partially offset by a decrease in promotional allowances of $4.3 million resulting in a reduction in net revenues of $1.7 million, or 1.4%, to $117.6 million. The decrease in gaming revenues is due primarily to a decrease in slot revenues of $6.2 million as a result of the impact of planned reductions in slot coin marketing offers offset by an increase in table games revenues of $1.3 million. The decrease in our promotional allowances was primarily a result of a $2.5 million reduction in our slot coin marketing offers and a $1.3 million decrease in promotional food and beverage coupons. Before consideration of reorganization expenses of $42.0 million recorded in 2005, our costs and expenses decreased by $3.9 million due to reductions in payroll expenses of $0.8 million, decreases in depreciation expense of $2.5 million and net reductions in other costs.

Corporate and Other – Before consideration of fresh-start accounting expenses of $56.2 million and a charge of $8.0 million relating to 10 year warrants issued to Mr. Trump in connection with a services agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2005, corporate and other expenses increased by approximately $8.2 million. This increase is due primarily to $1.1 million in increased payroll costs, $2.8 million for stock based compensation expense under FAS 123R, $3.1 million for legal and development costs and $1.2 million for other corporate expenses.

Our other overall costs were as follows:

Interest Income - Interest income increased by approximately $4.8 million from the comparable period in 2005. This increase reflects income from our invested cash and cash equivalents which have increased following our sale of Trump Indiana in December 2005.

Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased by approximately $36.4 million, or 35.9%, from the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in interest expense was due to our reorganization of our long-term debt which resulted in lower principal amounts due and the associated significantly reduced interest rates.

Minority Interest – Following reorganization, minority interest for the reorganized company represents the 23.5% limited partnership interest in TER Holdings owned directly and indirectly by Mr. Trump. Our minority interest expense from continuing operations reflects the benefit of $4.5 million for the proportionate share of loss attributable to Mr. Trump’s interest in TER Holdings and $0.2 million for other minority interests in TER Holdings subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes – Our provision for income taxes on continuing operations reflects an expense for income taxes of $2.8 million for both six month periods. These provisions are primarily for state income taxes with 2006 including a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $0.5 million.

Discontinued Operations – Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, includes income from our Trump Indiana riverboat casino sold in December 2005. The income from Trump Indiana for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes $134.8 million in reorganization income and related costs. The tax provision for discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, includes a $20.0 million provision for state and federal taxes relating to audits of our income tax returns.

Critical Accounting Estimates

General - Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Of our accounting estimates, we believe the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Goodwill - We have approximately $230.1 million of goodwill recorded on our balance sheet at June 30, 2006. We regularly evaluate our businesses for potential impairment indicators. Additionally, we perform impairment testing at least annually. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on, among other things, the regulatory and competitive status and operational performance of each of our businesses. Future events, such as the failure to meet or exceed our operating plans, increased competition or the enactment of increased gaming or tax rates, could significantly impact our judgments and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Property and Equipment - Our operations are capital intensive and we make capital investments at each of our properties in the form of maintenance capital and, from time to time, expansion and product enhancement capital. At June 30, 2006, we have approximately $1,485.1 million of net property and equipment recorded on our balance sheet. We depreciate our assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimates of the useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as our current operating strategy. Future events, such as property expansions, new competition and new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of property and equipment, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

Insurance Accruals - Our insurance policies for employee health, workers’ compensation and general patron liabilities have significant deductible levels on an individual claim basis. We accrue a liability for known workers’ compensation and general patron liabilities based upon a review of individual claims. Additionally, we accrue an amount for incurred but not reported claims based on our historical experience and other factors. Our employee health insurance benefit accrual is based on our historical claims experience rate including an estimated lag factor. These accruals involve complex estimates and could be significantly affected should current claims vary from historical levels. Management reviews our insurance accruals for adequacy at the end of each reporting period.

Income Taxes - We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in several states. We account for income taxes, including our current, deferred and non-cash charge in lieu of tax provision in accordance with SFAS Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The calculation of our income tax provision following our reorganization is complex and requires the use of estimates. Management reviews our provision for income taxes at the end of each reporting period. Additionally, our income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and our income tax liabilities. Inherent on our determination of any necessary reserves are assumptions based on past experiences and judgments about potential actions by taxing authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonable and foreseeable outcome related to uncertain tax matters. When actual results of tax examinations differ from our estimates, we adjust the income tax provision in the period in which the examination issues are settled.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity rates. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt. We attempt to manage our interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed rate and variable rate borrowings.

At June 30, 2006, long-term fixed rate borrowings represented approximately 89% of our total borrowings.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
