NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

(1) Organization and Operations

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include those of Trump Atlantic City Associates, a New Jersey general partnership (“Trump AC” or the “Company”), and its subsidiaries: (i) Trump Taj Mahal Associates, a New Jersey general partnership (“Taj Associates”) which owns and operates the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort located in Atlantic City, New Jersey (the “Taj Mahal”), (ii) Trump Plaza Associates, a New Jersey general partnership (“Plaza Associates”) which owns and operates the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino located in Atlantic City, New Jersey (“Trump Plaza” and together with the Taj Mahal, the “Trump AC Properties”), (iii) Trump Atlantic City Funding, Inc. (“Trump AC Funding”), (iv) Trump Atlantic City Funding II, Inc. (“Trump AC Funding II”), (v) Trump Atlantic City Funding III, Inc. (“Trump AC Funding III”), (vi) Trump Atlantic City Corporation (“TACC”), and (vii) Trump Administration, a separate division of Taj Associates (“Trump Administration”). Trump AC’s sole sources of liquidity are distributions in respect of its interests in Taj Associates and Plaza Associates. Trump AC is 100% beneficially owned by Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“THCR Holdings”) of which Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THCR”), is the sole general partner. Trump AC, Trump AC Funding, Trump AC Funding II and Trump AC Funding III (collectively the “Issuers”) have no independent operations and, therefore, their ability to service debt is dependent upon the successful operations of Taj Associates and Plaza Associates. There are no restrictions on the ability of Taj Associates and Plaza Associates, the primary guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) of the aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion 11 1/4% First Mortgage Notes due May 1, 2006 of the Issuers (the “Trump AC Mortgage Notes”), to distribute funds to Trump AC in respect of the guaranteed debt.

 

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

 

Trump AC has no operations, except for its ownership of the Trump AC Properties through Taj Associates and Plaza Associates. The majority of Trump AC’s revenues are derived from its gaming operations. The Atlantic City market is very competitive, especially since the opening of the Borgata Casino Hotel and Spa by a joint venture of MGM Mirage and Boyd Gaming in Atlantic City’s marina district in July 2003, and is anticipated to become more competitive in the future. The Company views each casino property as an operating segment and all such operating segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment. Each casino property derives its revenues from casino operations, room rental, food and beverage sales and entertainment revenue.
