              (dollar amounts in millions except per share data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 . Merger of Gem into THCR ("Merger Transaction").

 . Gem's Class A shareholders receive $30.00 per share in cash or in THCR
  shares.

    .  At a $20.75 THCR share price (1/25/96 market close), exchange ratio of
       1.45 shares per Class A share.

 . Donald Trump ("DJT") receives:

    . Restricted shares which when valued at the full trading price of
      unrestricted stock would equate to $30.00 per share in THCR shares and,

    . Master warrant to purchase 1.8 million shares in THCR. This warrant will
      not be transferable and will entitle DJT to purchase 600,000 shares at
      $30.00 per share for 3 years, another 600,000 shares at $35.00 per share
      for 4 years, and a third 600,000 shares at $40.00 per share for 5 years.

                                                   -----------------------------

Gentlemen:

Pursuant to your authorization, an inspection and appraisal has been made of the
above-captioned premises in order to estimate the Going Concern Value, as of 
March 18, 1994. Going Concern Value is defined within the report, which contains
the collective data and analyses upon which our value estimate is concluded.

Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, which will be known from this point on as the 
"Subject Property", is located at Virginia Avenue and the Boardwalk in Atlantic 
City, New Jersey. The property consists of a total of 29.24+ Acres, situated
                                                           - 
among various parcel, improved with a multi-story, multi-building, 120,000 
square foot casino gaming area and 1,250 room resort hotel. Also included is the
ancillary parking garage, steel pier, and storage warehouses in Pleasantville 
and egg harbor township. The employee parking lot, located on North Carolina 
Avenue and Huron Avenue is leased from the City of Atlantic City.

Consideration has been given to all three recognized methods of valuation. They 
are the "Cost Approach," the "Sales Comparison Approach" and the "Capitalization
of Income Approach." Due to the nature of this property, our value conclusion is
based solely on the utilization of the Capitalization of Income Approach.

This letter is not the appraisal, but merely serves to transmit the attached 
appraisal report and to convey the final conclusion of value.

The attached report includes Definitions of Going Concern value, and of the 
property rights appraised as if free and clear of mortgages. The appraisal is
subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions set forth in the appraisal
report.

Supervision of the Department of Treasury's Regulation 12 C.F.R. Part 564, the

Based upon the findings, it is our opinion that the Going Concern Value, subject
to the assumptions and limiting conditions as set forth herein, as of the value 
date, March 18, 1994, is:

                    ONE BILLION ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS

     2.   Both parties are well-informed or well-advised, and each acting in
          what they consider their own best interest;

     3.   A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

     4.   Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of
          financial arrangements comparable thereto; and

     5.   The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold
          unaffected by special or relative financing or sales concessions
          granted by anyone associated with the sale.

25. The value estimated in this appraisal report is gross without consideration
    given to any encumbrance, restriction, or question of title unless
    specifically defined.  The estimate of value in the appraisal report is not
    based in whole or in part upon race, color or national origin of the present
    owners or occupants of properties in the vicinity of the property appraised.

26. There is no reason to believe that this site has ever been used to process
    or store any hazardous substance or toxic waste, and the owners have
    indicated that there are no hazardous substances or wastes on the site.
    Nevertheless, the appraisers are not engineers or environmental experts, and
    the appraisal assumption that there are no hazardous substances or toxic
    wastes on the site should not be construed as an expert conclusion.

27. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous
    substances, including without limitation asbestos, polychlorinated
    biphenyls, petroleum leakage, or agricultural chemicals, which may or may
    not be present on the property, or other environmental conditions, were not
    called to the attention of nor did the appraisers become aware of such
    during the appraisers' inspection.  The appraisers have no knowledge of the
    existence of such materials on or in the property unless otherwise stated.
    The appraisers, however, are not qualified to test such substances or
    conditions.

    If the presence of such substances, such as asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam
    insulation, or other hazardous substances or environmental conditions may
    affect the value of the property, the value estimated is predicated on the
    assumption that there is no such condition on or in the property or in such
    proximity thereto that it would cause a loss in value.  No responsibility is
    assumed for any such conditions, nor for any expertise or engineering
    knowledge required to discover them.

28. Unless otherwise stated in this report, we did not make a survey and
    analysis of the property to determine whether or not it is in conformity
    with the various detailed requirements of the Americans with Disabilities
    Act (ADA). It is possible that a compliance survey of the property, together
    with a detailed analysis of the requirements of the ADA, could reveal that
    the property is not in compliance with one or more of the requirements. If
    so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the property.
    Since we have no direct evidence relating to this issue, we did not consider
    possible noncompliance with the requirements of the ADA in estimating the
    value of the property.

29. ACCEPTANCE AND/OR USE OF THIS APPRAISAL REPORT CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THE
    PRECEDING CONDITIONS.

AREA DATA
- ---------

ATLANTIC COUNTY-
- --------------- 

Atlantic County is located on New Jersey's southeastern coast and encompasses a
total of 611.4 square miles, with a land surface of 567.0 square miles and water
and tidal flow areas of 44.4 square miles.  The entire county represents 7.5% of
the total area of the state and contains 2.9% of New Jersey's population.

Atlantic County's major city, Atlantic City, an older urban resort city which
has gone through a long period of decline, began its revitalization when its
first hotel-casino opened in May 1978.  Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, the
city's latest and 12th hotel-casino opened in April 1990.  During 1991 over 30
million tourists flocked to Atlantic City and an average of 44,200 persons were
employed in the county's gaming industry.  The gaming industry also is
indirectly responsible for most of the noncasino employment growth (nearly
30,000 jobs) the county has experienced since 1978.

Three principal roads, the Atlantic City Expressway, the White Horse Pike (Rt.
30) and the Black Horse Pike (Rt. 322), link the shore with the Philadelphia-
Camden area.  The Garden State Parkway is the major access route from northern
New Jersey, New York and the New England states.  Persons residing as far south
as Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia can travel to Atlantic County by way of the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and the Cape-May-Lewes Ferry.  Population centers
in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area have routes such as I-95 which tie in
with the Delaware Memorial Bridge connecting New Castle County in Delaware to
Salem County in New Jersey.  Atlantic City is only some 60 miles from the
bridge.

================================================================================

In 1989 passenger rail service was restored between Atlantic City and
Philadelphia.  This includes daily commuter and express schedules.  Up until
recently, air traffic from the major carriers has been minimal in Atlantic
County.  However, the Atlantic City International Airport, located in Pomona,
adjacent to the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center (FAATC) in Egg
Harbor Township, has the capabilities for handling large aircraft and has been
expanding as the number of hotel-casinos has grown.

EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENTS (1981-90)
- ---------------------------------

Prior to casino gambling (pre-1978), the county's employment growth rate tracked
that of the state.  Since the advent of casino gambling, however, the county's
rate has remained well above that of the state.

The county's service-producing sector accounted for nearly all of the increase
in jobs during the 1981-1990 period.  The hotel-casinos, which fall within the
services subcategory, accounted for most of the 10-year gain, with appreciable
job growth also occurring in the business and health services segments.

The wholesale and retail trade industry, which experienced job growth every year
from 1981 through 1988, leveled in 1989.  Trade employment expanded by 29.9%
from 1981 through 1990, a little more than the state's 28.0% growth rate in
trade jobs over the same period.  Employment in the county's transportation
communications/public utilities industry advanced at a slightly faster pace than
that of the state during the 1981-1990 period (23.9% vs 22.1%, respectively).

BACKGROUND DATA & ANALYSIS                                             AREA DATA
================================================================================
 
In contrast to the other service-producing industries, employment growth in
Atlantic County's finance/insurance/real estate industry lagged well behind that
of the state during the 1980s.  The gain during the 1981-1990 period was a 7.0%
advance for the county, well below the state's 46.4%.

Atlantic County's goods-producing sectors (manufacturing and construction)
recorded an overall decline of 0.6% from 1981 to 1990, compared with a decline
of 13.8% for the state during the same period.  Of course, the county has a much
smaller proportion of manufacturing jobs to total private-  sector employment
(5.5% in 1990) than the state (19.9% in 1990).  In construction, the county and
the state have the same share (5.5% in 1990) of employment to total private-
sector employment.

Construction employment peaked in Atlantic County during the 1987-1989 period
and started to drop in 1990 because of the completion of the Taj Mahal Casino
Resort and, like the state and nation, because of the onset of the national
recession.

Atlantic County's factory payrolls declined by 18.5% from 1981 through 1990,
with most of the losses occurring since 1989.  The county's recent decline
primarily can be traced to losses in the apparel, stone/clay/glass,
rubber/plastics and transportation equipment industries.  Foreign competition
tended to be the primary cause behind the long-term declines in the county's
apparel and stone/clay/glass industries, as in the state and the nation.

POPULATION TRENDS (1970-90)
- ---------------------------

The total civilian population in Atlantic County, according to the 1990 census,
was 226,700.  This represented an increase of 32,600 or 16.8% from 1980 which
was more than three times the state's rate of population growth (5.0%) during
the same period.  Overall, the county ranked fifth in percentage population
growth among New Jersey's 21 counties during the 1980s.  The county's most
significant numeric gains since 1980 were reported in three principal
municipalities: Egg Harbor (5,136), Galloway (11,154) and Hamilton (6,513)
townships.

Countering some of the growth was a population decline of 2,213 or 5.5% in
Atlantic City during the 1980-1990 period.  In comparison, Atlantic City's
population declined by 7,660 or 16% from 1970 to 1980.  Factors which
contributed to Atlantic City's population decline over the past two decades
included: the demolition of some of the city's aging and deteriorated housing
stock; the erosion of the city's resort economy through most of the 1970's, and
the national trend of population flight from urban environments.  A moderate
inland shift in population from 1980 to 1990 did not alter the concentration
along the shore areas, considering the proximity to the ocean of Egg Harbor and
Galloway townships where the major growth has occurred.

HOUSING (1980-91)
- -----------------

According to the 1990 census, the total number of dwelling units in Atlantic
County was 106,877, up by 17,535 or 19.6% from 1980.  The county's housing stock
expanded almost twice as fast as the state's (10.9%) during the 1980s.  Of the
total, about 95,000 units were year-round with the remainder being seasonal
units.  Single-family, detached homes accounted

for the majority of the year-round housing stock (56,002). There also were
36,642 multi-family units and 9,069 single-family attached units.

The five municipalities which had the largest number of dwelling units
authorized since 1981 were Atlantic City, Brigantine and the townships of Egg
Harbor, Galloway and Hamilton.  Except for Atlantic City, these communities also
experienced most of the population growth since 1980.

The availability of seasonal housing and its conversion to year-round use in
Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate, and Brigantine have helped meet the demand for
primary housing.  Earlier in this decade the fastest selling housing development
on the county's mainland were often townhouses or condominiums that were
purchased as investments for rental purposes.  This trend has slowed in recent
years and most units are now purchased as primary residences.  The demand for
single-family detached homes also has been increasing, fueled in part by the
desire of homebuyers to move up to this type of housing.  Hamilton, Galloway and
Egg Harbor townships have a good deal of land available for development and
their proximity to Atlantic City is an asset.  Most of the new housing
development outside of Atlantic City may well be concentrated in these three
mainland areas for many years to come.

INCOME, 1981-1989 -
- -----------------  

During the 1981-1989 period (latest data available at the county level), the
growth of total personal income was greater in Atlantic County than in the state
or nation.  This was almost entirely the result of the development of the hotel-
casino industry in Atlantic City.  The initial investment in these hotel-casinos
(construction costs for a single hotel-casino can reach several

hundred million dollars), their payrolls and their ongoing purchases of other
goods and services have all helped spur income growth for persons in the county.

Per capita personal income grew by 77.4% in the county during the period,
reaching a level of $23,723 in 1989, which ranked Atlantic 10th among New
Jersey's 21 counties.  In comparison, per capita personal income in the state
and nation increased by 83.1% and 60.7%, respectively.

Another income indicator is the annual average wage derived using reports
submitted by employers (private sector only) covered under state unemployment
insurance program.  Contrary to per capita income, which is by place of
residence, the annual average wage is by work location.  Atlantic County's
annual average wage of $22,948 ranked the county 16th in the state in 1990.
This was lower than the statewide annual average wage of $28,192.  Two factors
are largely responsible for the county's annual average wage being lower than
the state's.  The county has a greater percentage of its employment in the
service industry (60% for the county vs 31% for the state) where wages tend to
be lower on average.  Also, the county's diminishing but still relatively
prevalent number of seasonal and other part-time jobs help dilute the annual
average wage.

LABOR FORCE TRENDS (1985-91)
- ----------------------------

Although the volume and percent of unemployed persons in Atlantic County was
lower in 1985 (the earliest year for which comparable data are available) than
in 1991, a recession year, both fell to the lowest levels in 1988, a boom year,
when the unemployment rate averaged 4.9%. The slowing of economic growth in both
the state and nation, which culminated with the onset

of the current recession in July 1990, was responsible for the cyclical upturn
in joblessness through 1991. 

With this slowing pace of economic development in Atlantic County and the
surrounding area, the average rate of unemployment rose from 5.8% in 1990 to
8.3% in 1991 and continued at high levels into early 1992. The rise was even
more pronounced than the statewide increase from 1990 (5.0%) to 1991 (6.6%).
This increase in both Atlantic County and the state is the result of the
recession that partially resulted from a slowdown in unsustainable high levels
of economic activity during the late 1980s in the region, especially in the
hotel-casino industry.

Although both the nation's and the state's economic boom, together with the
local hotel-casino industry growth, had pushed the annual average rate of
unemployment below 6.0% in Atlantic County during the 1987-1990 period, the
number of unemployed has tended to remain relatively high compared with the
state due to several factors.  Atlantic County still experiences seasonal
variation in employment which keep the number of unemployed higher on average
than areas with little seasonal variation.  During the peak summer months of
July and August, the county's labor force and total employment are 20% -25%
above the winter lows.  Tourism and agriculture are the two sectors of the
county's economy most affected by seasonal factors.

TRANSPORTATION
- --------------

AIR TRANSPORTATION -
- ------------------  

The area is served by two airports, Bader Field in Atlantic City and the
International Airport in Pomona.  Both airports have a master plan in effect.
The end result could be regularly scheduled airline flights by all the major
carriers by the mid 1990s.  The implementation of regularly scheduled airline
flights will have a significant positive impact on the area.

The first phase of the Airport Master Plan has been released and calls for $46
million in new facilities and upgrading at Pomona and $5.5 million for Bader
Field.  The renovations will allow for scheduled air service to Atlantic City
from major airlines.

ROADWAY TRANSPORTATION -
- ----------------------  

Atlantic County is served by a vast network of highways and secondary roadways.
The Garden State Parkway is the major north/south roadway through the region,
while the Atlantic City Expressway is the major east/west thoroughfare.  Other
major roadways through the region are Routes 9, 30, 40, and 322.

The New Jersey Highway Authority has recently announced plans to widen sections
of the Garden State Parkway and to increase the number of toll booths in order
to improve traffic flow on the southern end of the highway.  The existing four-
lane highway is planned to be widened to six lanes and additional improvements
will be planned for the highway's intersection with the Atlantic City
Expressway.

The Atlantic City Expressway has been widened from four to six lanes between
Winslow and the Pleasantville Toll Plaza.  This $28.3 million project was
completed in December 1987. In

addition, the Authority is committed to extending the third lane into
Atlantic City in conjunction with the development of the Convention/Rail Service
Center.

Atlantic County has proposed the construction of a beltway from the Garden State
Parkway near Smithville southwest to U.S. Route 30, past Pomona Airport and the
Atlantic City Expressway before rejoining the Parkway. The limited-access
highway is expected to relieve congestion in the mainland areas near Atlantic
City.

Approximately $55 million will be spent under a joint public-private venture for
significant improvements on U.S. Route 30 and Route 87 within Atlantic County.
Construction of these improvements began in the fall of 1985, and is ongoing at
the present time.

CONVENTION CENTER -
- -----------------  

As previously noted, plans to develop the Convention/Rail Terminal at the
Atlantic City Expressway are now progressing.  Plans call for the convention
complex to be located on a 30.5 acre site across from the rail terminal and
parking facility and connected by an open atrium.  In total, the proposed
complex will include 486,600 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, making it
comparable to most of the largest convention centers in the United States.  The
new Convention Center will also include parking facilities for up to 40 buses, a
multi-level parking structure for approximately 1,600 cars, restaurant and
retail facilities, and direct linkage via an overpass to the Atlantic City
Expressway.

Groundbreaking for the convention center was on February 24, 1993.  It is
expected to be completed by February 1996.

OUTLOOK -
- -------  

While the local economy would no doubt benefit from a sustained national rebound
in consumer confidence and spending during 1994, Atlantic County is at a unique
period in its economic history because little growth is expected in the hotel-
casino industry for at least the next several years. The casino gaming
industry's sometimes painful transition from a rapid early growth phase to a
consolidating or maturing phase should continue in 1994 and for the next several
years.

Over the past 13 years, both the pattern and pace of economic development in
Atlantic County has been tied either directly or indirectly to casino gambling.
Troubled times for the gaming industry, an industry which now accounts for about
one of every three jobs, usually causes similar ripples throughout most sectors
of the local economy.

Overall, the gaming industry's level of employment should stabilize at current
levels or show only marginal gains during 1994.  Elsewhere in the local economy,
little, if any, employment growth is expected and will depend almost entirely on
a rebound in consumer spending, especially for the trade, services and
construction industries.  Atlantic County's rate of unemployment may begin to
gradually fall in 1994, if the economic recovery takes hold at both the national
and state levels.

Developments that are necessary to the future well-being of the county's
tourism, convention and gambling industries include: clean beaches, a new
Atlantic City Convention Center and a revitalized Atlantic City Airport (4/93).

BACKGROUND DATA & ANALYSIS                                    ATLANTIC CITY DATA
================================================================================

ATLANTIC CITY DATA
- ------------------

OVERVIEW
- --------

Atlantic City is part of Absecon Island which is located in the southeastern
portion of Atlantic County.  The total area of Atlantic City is 11.84 square
miles.  Atlantic City is located approximately 125 miles south of New York City,
60 miles east of Philadelphia, and 175 miles north of Washington D.C.

The City was incorporated in 1852, and soon afterward became world renowned as a
resort town.  In 1870, the first boardwalk was constructed, and in 1929,
Atlantic City built the world's largest convention center and became almost
fully dependent on tourism.  The tourism industry prospered for many years and
then gradually started to decline, and by the 1960s the area had become
depressed.

In 1977, when the Casino Gambling Act legalized gaming in Atlantic City, the
stagnant tourist industry began to flourish.  The legalization of gaming in
Atlantic City has brought unprecedented growth and development to Atlantic City
and to Atlantic County.

Casino Industry -
- ---------------- 

As of 1991, gaming has added approximately 44,200 casino related employees, a
drop from 2,500 from 1990.  The dramatic impact that the gaming industry has had
on revenues can be illustrated by analyzing the revenue it has generated for the
State of New Jersey and for Atlantic City.

Since 1979, gaming has generated $211,500,000 in reinvestment obligations for
Atlantic City. The CRDA (Casino Reinvestment Development Authority) was
established to counteract the

                                      -35-

================================================================================
 
deteriorated portions of Atlantic City. This department is funded by the casino
industry by contributing 1.25% of gross casino revenues minus bad debt.

The executive director of the CRDA expects what he called a balanced residential
community to emerge in the Inlet which has been the most rundown area of the
city.  He expects this transformation to occur in 5 to 7 years.

Over the next 25 years it is expected that the casino industry will have
contributed over 2 billion dollars to Atlantic City.  It is expected that the
reinvestment obligations that are funded by the casino industry, will improve
the city's rundown areas dramatically.

Since the first casino opened in 1978 through the end of 1992 the casino revenue
tax has generated over $2,600,000,000 in revenues for the State of New Jersey.
The operating casinos contributed approximately $106,000,000 in property taxes
for Atlantic City and Atlantic County in 1992.  This amount represented nearly
30.00% of the total taxes paid in Atlantic City in 1992.

Since 1978, the Casino Industry has contributed approximately $4,850,000,000 in
total taxes including New Jersey Casino Revenue Tax, Atlantic City and Atlantic
County Property Tax, Federal Income Tax, Social Security, State Corporate Tax,
Federal and State Unemployment Tax and Regulatory Fees and Reinvestment
Obligations.

A positive development for Atlantic City's hotel-casino industry occurred in
June 1991 when significant changes to the Casino Control Act were signed into
law.  In the long run, the much anticipated changes are expected to expand 
Atlantic City's casino market and spur growth in the region.

================================================================================
 
The most notable changes allow round-the-clock gambling on weekends, holidays
and other special events; permit slot coverage of the casino floor to increase
to 45% over the next three years; and allows three new games of chance.  Gaming
industry officials indicate that surge in gaming revenues during the third
quarter of 1991 was at least partially due to these new regulatory changes.

Even though the number of visitors to Atlantic City, as calculated by the New
Jersey Expressway Authority (NJEA), declined for the fifth year in a row during
1993, an estimated 30.0 million visitors traveled to Atlantic City in 1993.
Cars and buses still formed the bulk of the travelers, despite the casinos'
efforts to broaden their market beyond those who can arrive within a day's
drive.

City and tourism officials attributed the 3.2% drop in the number of visitors
from 1990 to the recession, and in the first half of 1991, to the Gulf War.
However, the decrease in visitors did not affect the gross gaming revenues of
the casinos, which was $3.23 billion in 1992, an 8.06% increase over 1991. 1993
gross gaming revenue of the casinos was $3.287 billion, a 1.69% increase over
1992.  According to the Atlantic City visitors and convention bureau, the 1993
decline is the result of fewer charter bus passengers, as part of the casino
marketing program.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS:
- --------------------------- 

Airport -
- -------  

While the implementation of the Amtrak and PATCO lines will have a substantial
impact on the area, major plans for airport expansion are also underway.

$46 million improvements project are underway.  Serving all of Southern New
Jersey and located just 10 miles outside of Atlantic City, Atlantic City
International Airport has regularly scheduled flights by major carriers such as:
Continental, US Air, Northwest and Spirit, with service from over 75 major
cities.  The master plan which is in effect, could eventually lead to regularly
scheduled airline flights by most major carriers.

Rail Service -
- ------------  

As noted in the area data section of this report, the Amtrak Express trains are
operational, and provide non-stop service between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City.  Construction of the $15 million rail terminal is the final step in an
overall $101 million rail project which is rebuilding the 67 miles of tracks
connecting Atlantic City and Philadelphia.

The 22,000 square-foot rail terminal will include five tracks and three
platforms capable of handling 12-car trains and facilitating an estimated 1,900
passengers per hour during peak operating hours and some 2.2 million travelers a
year.

Amtrak will operate five daily round-trip express trains between the resort and
Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, and six on weekends, plus one daily non-stop
to and from New York and Philadelphia which will allow connections to virtually
the complete Amtrak nationwide rail system. Parking for 250 cars will be offered
at the rail terminal, and its 14,000 square-foot concourse will include seating
for 200 people, ticket facilities and restaurant and newsstand concessions.

Convention Center
- -----------------  

Atlantic City's new convention and exposition center, when it opens in 1996,
should significantly increase the resort's capabilities in attracting new
convention and trade show business.

The convention center will contain a total of 510,000 square feet of convention
space, including 486,600 square feet of continuous exhibit halls, a 32,000
square foot multipurpose room, 104,200 square feet of meeting rooms and 20,000
square feet of ancillary facilities.  The entire Convention Center is expected
to be ready by February 1996 and will have a substantial positive impact on
Atlantic City.

Recent studies by the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Bureau favorably
reflect on both convention industry interest in the new facility and its
capability of accommodating major shows currently not considering the resort.

The shows which will be utilizing this new facility represent 1.1 million
delegates generating a national average of $787.54 apiece over four days, or
more than $866 million, including $177 million in hotel room revenue and $11
million on convention center rental fees, with the balance expended on items
such as food, shopping and entertainment.  Atlantic City's convention and trade
show industry is enjoying dramatic growth.

Conclusions -
- -----------  

While gaming has brought Atlantic City back on the path of economic growth and
development, there are still major social and economic problems to be overcome.
However, after considering the positive impact of the gaming industry on 
employment in Atlantic City, the casino

================================================================================
 
NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
- ---------------------

A property is an integral part of its surroundings and must not be treated as an
entity separate and apart from its environment.  The value of a property is not
found exclusively in its physical characteristics.  Physical, economic,
political and sociological forces found in the area interact to give value to a
property.  In order to determine the degree of influence extended by these
forces upon a property, their past and probable future trends must be analyzed
in depth.  Therefore, in order to determine the value of a property, a careful
and thorough analysis must be made of the area in which is found the property
under study.  This area is commonly referred to as a neighborhood.

A neighborhood can be a portion of a city, a community, or an entire town.  It
is usually considered to be an area which exhibits a certain degree of
homogeneity as to use, tenancy and other characteristics.  Homogeneity is a
state of uniform structure or composition throughout.  Therefore, in real estate
terminology, a homogeneous neighborhood is one in which the property uses are
similar.

The subject property is located at the Boardwalk between North Carolina Avenue
and Pennsylvania Avenue in Atlantic City.  The neighborhood can be delineated by
the Boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, Pacific Avenue to the north,
New York Avenue to the west, and New Jersey Avenue to the east.

The subject property fronts on the Boardwalk which was the main tourist
attraction in Atlantic City until the introduction of gaming in 1978.  The
Boardwalk runs the entire length of Atlantic City along the beach from the
Absecon Inlet to the western city limit at Ventnor.  The

Boardwalk is now the center casino area in Atlantic City, and is improved with
casinos, hotels, restaurants, piers, and various other tourist orientated
support facilities. The Atlantic City convention center is also located on the
Boardwalk west of the subject property near Trump Plaza.

The main east and west roadways running near the beach block of Atlantic City
are Atlantic and Pacific Avenues, which run parallel with the Boardwalk.  Both
roadways are within 2 blocks of the Boardwalk.

The advent of gaming in the area has led to rapidly escalating land prices for
area zoned for casino use.  The casino zoning district is located along the
beach block running from Maryland Avenue, west to Albany Avenue.  The northern
boundary is Pacific Avenue, while the southern boundary is the Boardwalk.  Two
other small areas zoned for casino use are located by the Absecon Inlet and the
Marina Area.  A casino site, which requires a minimum of 2 acres area, can now
command land prices in the $200-$300 per square foot range.

Typical land uses within the area are restaurants, older hotels, condominiums,
apartments, and other assorted residential and commercial uses.  While there is
new and planned development, many of these improvements are in deteriorating
condition.  Although much of the area is in need of revitalization, the casinos
have spurred additional commercial and residential development and will
eventually lead to long term economic growth in the neighborhood.

Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort is next to the Showboat and Resorts. The opening
of the Taj Mahal benefitted the neighborhood by giving it the two newest casinos
(Trump Taj Mahal Casino

Resort and Showboat).  Additionally, there are four piers located within four
blocks of the subject property.  They include the Garden Pier, the Steel Pier,
the Steeplechase Pier, and the Central Pier.

To the west of the subject property is currently the main Boardwalk casino area.
This area is bounded by Brighton Avenue to the west, and Indiana Avenue to the
east.  This area spans approximately 15 blocks and includes casinos such as The
Sands, The Claridge, Bally's Park Place, Caesars Boardwalk Regency, Trump Plaza,
and the Tropicana.  Since the opening of the subject property, this area of the
Boardwalk become more of a center point of the casino district than it was, due
to the large concentration of hotel rooms, convention space, and casino space.

The opening of the Taj Mahal have had a significant impact on the casino
industry in Atlantic City.  In addition to the 120,000 square foot casino, Trump
Taj Mahal Casino Resort added approximately 1,250 hotel rooms and 230,000 square
feet of convention space to this section of the Boardwalk.  The concentration of
hotel rooms and convention space added by the Taj Mahal spurred additional
development and renovations which have a positive impact on property values and
property utilization in the neighborhood.  Based upon current, as well as
proposed developments in the neighborhood, it is our opinion that area has
passed the point of decline and is headed for a period of revitalization.

Four great forces influencing value include social, economic, environmental, and
governmental forces.  We were unable to detect any detrimental factors from any
of these forces.  Therefore, it is our opinion that the neighborhood will
continue to exert a positive influence on property values and continue to remain
economically viable into the foreseeable future.

================================================================================
 
                         portion of Virginia Avenue, that has not been vacated,
                         serves a separate property, the "Best of Life"
                         Apartments (a senior citizen complex - not part of the
                         subject property), which is almost surrounded by the
                         subject. Maryland Avenue vacated in 1983, is now a
                         service road for the benefit of the subject and others.
                         A tunnel, that runs from the end of Pennsylvania
                         Avenue, underneath the subject, to former Maryland
                         Avenue is used for one-way traffic from Pennsylvania
                         Avenue back out to Pacific Avenue.

TERRAIN:                 Predominantly level and at road grade. We have not
                         commissioned nor conducted any soil or subsoil studies.
                         However, based on the existence of the subject, as well
                         as neighboring structures, the soil load bearing
                         qualities appear adequate.

UTILITIES:               All municipal services, public and private utilities
                         are available to the site including police protection
                         and fire fighting services, electric, storm and

                         is available from the Boardwalk.

EASEMENTS:               Typical utility and public easements run through the
                         site. None of these easements, however, have an adverse
                         impact on value.

FLOOD HAZARDS:           The site is located in the F.E.M.A. Firm Zone A-8, as

                         Routine inspections and questions concerning the
                         subject property did not reveal any hazardous toxic
                         conditions. However, the appraisers are NOT experts in
                         the identification of toxic or hazardous conditions.

================================================================================
 
                         A roof manifold with a separate control valve is
                         provided on the ocean side of the tower for test and/or
                         fire fighting purposes.

FIRE PUMPS:              There are three (3) electric fire pumps incorporated
                         into the central plant. The low zone pump is rated at
                         1500 GPM @ 165 PSI, and the high zone pump is rated at
                         150 GPM @ 115 PSI.

                         There are two (2) jockey pumps provided.  Each is
                         independent of the other and satisfies both the low and
                         high zone system respectively.

                         Five (5) separate controllers are provided for the fire
                         and all are on an emergency generator.

                         The water supply for the pumps is from a combination
                         10" city supply into the pump room from the 20" main
                         located on Maryland Avenue.  Another 12" combination
                         city supply is brought into the pump room.  Both piping
                         configurations are combined to provide a multiple
                         supply source.

                         The central plant/garage portion of the building is
                         protected by approximately 3,200 sprinklers and
                         consists of two (2) electrical rooms, a chiller room, a
                         boiler room, eight (8) garage levels, and electrical
                         rooms at the top.

                         Each of the electrical rooms is protected by a pre -
                         action type sprinkler system which will be activated by
                         smoke detectors or manual pull stations.

                         The boiler room and chiller rooms are protected by
                         individual wet pipe sprinkler systems.  Each has its
                         own control value, water flow device, and drain.

                         The garage levels of the building are protected by a
                         dry pipe sprinkler system.  Located near the elevators
                         is a 4" wet riser rising through each floor of the
                         garage.  This wet riser will supply the appropriate
                         number of dry pipes required per floor.  Each dry
                         system protecting the garage floors has been designed
                         as a galvanized loop type system.

                         The electrical room at the top elevation of the garage
                         is protected by a single pre - action valve assembly.
                         This is supplied from the 4" wet riser supplying the
                         garage floors.

                         These dry risers supply 2.25" fire hose rack stations,
                         five (5) of each located on every floor of the garage.

                         All areas for which protection is being provided are as
                         per the BOCA codes and/or DCA - Atlantic City
                         requirements.

                         The low rise exhibition hall portion of the subject
                         property is protected by approximately 25,000 sprinkler
                         heads.  These two areas consist of an impressive
                         network of horizontal and vertical standpipe runs, wet
                         and dry pipe sprinkler systems, hose valve cabinets,
                         Halon fire protection systems, Pre-Action Sprinkler
                         Systems and Kitchen Hood Quencher Systems.

                         Located around the perimeter of the property are five
                         (5) sets of fire department connections.  These are
                         connected into the high pressure and low pressure
                         standpipe systems accordingly, for the use of the fire
                         department to supply additional water to any part of
                         the building in the event of a fire.

                         There are approximately sixteen (16) high value areas
                         protected by Halon Suppression Systems.  The areas
                         include the Computer Room, Television-Security,

                         Television Equipment, Tape Storage, Fire Command,
                         Audio-Video Rooms and certain electrical areas.

                         Each area is also provided with a Pre-Action system
                         which allow water to enter into the piping system and
                         be available to suppress a fire in the event the Halon
                         System did not extinguish the fire.  The combination of
                         Halon and Pre-Action Suppression Systems exceeds code
                         requirements, however, the added protection is
                         available in the event of a second flare-up.

                         The sprinkler system piping throughout the complex also
                         supplies the water to the Gaylord Quencher Kitchen Hood
                         Suppression Systems.  The supply piping to the panels
                         is provided from the combination risers with separate
                         supervised control valves.  The flow devices are in the
                         Quencher panels.

ZONING DATA
- -----------

Generally, zoning looks to the future as a result of planning.  Its purpose is
to promote and maintain a degree of homogeneity in the use of real estate within
the confines of a given geographic, political subdivision.

The Appraisal Institute in their book, "The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal"
- - third edition (page 399) have defined zoning as:

    "The public regulation of the character and extent of real estate use
    through police power; accomplished by establishing districts or areas with
    uniform restrictions relating to improvements; structural height, area, and
    bulk; density of population; and other aspects on the use and development of
    private property."

The casino hotel is located within the RSC-Resort Commercial District of
Atlantic City. Portion of the site, (Approx. 17 (PLUS OR MINUS) acres) are in
the Urban Renewal Tract. The purpose of this district is to provide for the
City's main industry, consisting predominantly of casino and other transient and
tourist oriented uses. Some of the bulk regulations of this district are as
follows:

BACKGROUND DATA & ANALYSIS                     REAL ESTATE TAX & ASSESSMENT DATA
================================================================================
 
REAL ESTATE TAX AND ASSESSMENT DATA
- -----------------------------------

The real estate tax assessment, synonymous with assessed value, is the official
valuation level of property for ad valorem tax purposes.  "The Appraisal of Real
Estate" 10th edition 1992, Page 24, states:

     "Assessed value applies in ad valorem taxation and refers to the value of a
     property according to the tax rolls.  Assessed value may not conform to
     market value but it is usually calculated in relation to a market value
     base."



Since the assessment is a dollar amount assigned to taxable property by the
assessor for the purpose of taxation, it may not reflect the independent value
conclusions found within this report.

Breakdown of the 1994 real estate assessments, assembled by the Trump
Organization and verified by Appraisal Group International, are presented in the
Addenda of this report. 1994 total assessment reflect $657,621,700, which
includes the employee parking area, leased from the city of Atlantic City.

The 1994 tax rate totals $2.497 per $100.00 of assessed valuation.  The
subject's current real estate tax liability is as follows:

1993-1994 Total Tax Assessment:            $657,621,700
1993-1994 Tax Rate:                        $2.497 per $100

Background Data & Analysis                           Highest & Best Use Analysis
================================================================================
 
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
- --------------------

Highest and Best Use is a valuation concept that can be applied to either the
land or improvements.  It normally is used to mean that use of a parcel of land
(without regard to any improvements upon it) that will bring the greatest net
return to the land over a given period of time.  The concept of highest and best
use can also be applied to a property which has some improvements upon it that
have a remaining economic life.  In this context, highest and best use can refer
to that use of the existing improvements which is most profitable to the owner.
It is possible to have two different highest and best uses for the same
property; one for the land ignoring the improvements; and another that
recognizes the presence of the improvements.

In cases where the site is improved, the results of the highest and best use
analysis (of the land only) may indicate a different use than the existing use.
The existing use will continue, however, until such time as the land value less
cost of conversion or demolition in its highest and best use exceeds the total
value of the property in its existing use.  Therefore, as long as the improved
property has a higher market value than the land alone as if vacant, the
existing use will serve as the highest and best use.  This analysis will address
the highest and best use as improved.  The highest and best use must meet the
following criteria:

     1.   It must be legal in conformity with existing zoning and other building
          and land use restrictions.

     2.   The use must not be speculative or conjectural, but probable and
          reasonable.

     3.   Sufficient market demand must exist.

     4.   The use must return the greatest profit for the longest period,
          considering all alternatives.

Background Data & Analysis                           Highest & Best Use Analysis
================================================================================

Inherent in reaching any conclusion as to the highest and best use of a property
is the consideration of the many principles related to valuation.  The Principle
of Anticipation is predicated on the foundation that value is created by the
anticipation of future benefits.  It is not based on historical costs, but on
what current market participants believe the future benefits of the purchase
will be.  In essence, value is the present worth of future benefits.

The Principle of Conformity addresses itself to the issue that property achieves
its optimum value when the use to which it is put, and the design and layout of
any structure situated on the land, blends in well with its environs.  The use
need not be the same as all surrounding properties, but it need be homogenous
with those uses.  All of these factors must be considered in arriving at a
conclusion as to the highest and best use of a property.

Central to the determination of Highest and Best Use, as it pertains to wealth
maximization of individual property owners, is the consideration of four
critical factors:

          1.  Physically Possible
          2.  Legally Permissible
          3.  Financially Feasible
          4.  Maximally Productive

Usually this study is unbiased; however, in the subject's case a hotel and
casino facility has been constructed on the site.  Primary consideration will be
given to that use.

There are four critical factors that will be analyzed in regard to this
particular use for the subject property.  They are listed on the following
pages:

Background Data & Analysis                           Highest & Best Use Analysis
================================================================================
 
     Physically Possible -
     -------------------  

     Refers to the physical adaptability of a site for a proposed use.  The
     subject site was clear land at the time construction commenced.  The site
     is already improved and, as a result, its existence proves it is physically
     adaptable.

     This inspection focused particularly on the physical elements or
     characteristics of the site, which include size, shape, terrain, frontage
     and depth, topography, soil conditions, and capacity and availability of
     public utilities.

     An analysis of all physical elements, both individually and collectively,
     produces the conclusion that the subject site is well suited for
     development.

     The physically possible test determines what is possible on the site.  The
     choices are to renovate, convert, demolish, or leave the improvements as
     they are.  The subject is functional for its existing and intended use.  No
     changes to the physically possible criterion are warranted.  The subject
     passes the test of physically possible.

     Legally Permissible -
     -------------------  

     Refers to the legality or conformance of a given or proposed use to
     existing zoning and other land use controls.

     When investigating the legality of a proposed use, factors to consider
     include private restrictions, zoning, building codes, historic district
     controls, and environmental regulations.

     The subject is located within the RS-C Resort Commercial district of
     Atlantic City.  The property was constructed in conformance with the
     regulations of the RS-C zoning district.

     The subject is a legally permissible use (The legally permissible test
     would require a more in-depth analysis if the subject were a preexisting
     nonconforming use).  The subject passes the test of legally permissible.

     Financially Feasible -
     --------------------  

     Analysis of the physically possible and legally permissible uses of the
     subject site has indicated that the development of the site with a hotel
     and casino facility was both possible and permissible.  Additionally, and
     in conformity with the discussions of the definitions of Highest and Best
     Use, the improvements blend harmoniously with neighboring and existing uses
     and complement community development goals.  However, in analyzing the
     financial feasibility of a possible use, the marketplace must be tested in
     order to determine if a positive rate of return sufficient to attract
     investment capital to the project is generated by its potential operation.

     In order to investigate the above-mentioned factors, an "Immediate Market
     Area Overview" was conducted.  This immediate market area was defined as
     containing hotel and casino facilities in the Atlantic City Market.  The
     result of the analysis may be found in the Capitalization of Income
     Approach section of this report.

     An analysis of average room rents and casino win, coupled with increasing
     demand for such facilities, indicates that positive net income from
     operations is sufficient to attract

     investment capital. In conclusion, the subject property passes the test of
     financially feasible.

     Maximally Productive -
     --------------------  

     This refers to the use which will result in the greatest "net return" to
     the land as the result of the proposed use, as compared to a higher use.

     With reference to maximally productive, it is doubtful that the subject
     could be put to a higher use.

     Once a casino license is granted to a developer, the revenues attributable
     to the land and improvements far exceed the income that can be generated by
     any alternate use.  Therefore, the highest and best use of the subject
     property is for continued use as a hotel and casino.

CONCLUSION -
- ----------  

The subject property is well located in a desirable location in the on the
Boardwalk in Atlantic City.  As mentioned in the Neighborhood Data and General
Area Data Section of this report, the area is in a mixed use neighborhood
containing commercial, and retail properties.

The preceding analysis indicates that the subject sites pass all four tests of
the critical factors utilized to determine Highest and Best Use.  Thus, it is
our opinion that the current utilization of the subject property as a hotel and
casino facility represents the Highest and Best Use of each. Typically, the
appraiser first comes to a conclusion as to the highest and best use of the site
as if it were vacant and available for development. This helps in the proper
valuation of the land

in the Cost Approach to value. In the subject's case, this approach is not
relevant. Without an extensive analysis, we have concluded that the highest and
best use of the site, if vacant, would be for development of a hotel and casino
facility.

In reference to the employees parking facility on North Carolina Avenue and
Huron Avenue, this parcel of land is considered an integral part of the Trump
Taj Mahal Casino Resort, because it is a vital component to the daily operation
of this facility.  Therefore, the employees parking facility is considered an
essential part of the subject property.

Furthermore, and in reference to the warehouse facilities which are located in
the Pleasantville and Township of Egg Harbor, the warehouse facilities are
considered an integral part of the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, because it is
a vital component to the daily operation of this facility.  Therefore, for the
purpose of this report, the warehouse facilities are considered part of the
casino and hotel facility.

The highest and best use of the warehouse buildings is for industrial/warehouse
use.  However, inasmuch as a casino needs back storage space in a less expensive
area, the highest and best use of the warehouse facility is in conjunction with
the operation of the casino.

VALUATION METHOD
- ----------------

The valuation of real estate is, essentially, the valuation of the rights
inherent to the ownership of the property.  The valuation approaches are based
on sound economic principles, as they relate directly to real estate.  The three
traditional approaches to the valuation of real estate are as follows:

COST APPROACH:  In this approach, the improvements are replaced as if new, and
- -------------                                                                
any applicable depreciation is deducted to arrive at a net improvement value.
To this is added the value of the land and any site improvements or allied
appurtenances, in order to arrive at a value estimate.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH:  A technique of finding sales of similar properties,
- -------------------------                                                     
extracting units of comparison, and carefully analyzing and comparing them by
virtue of their minor differences and major similarities, to arrive at an
indication of value for the appraised property.

CAPITALIZATION OF INCOME APPROACH:  Converts the net operating income
- ---------------------------------                                   
attributable to the real estate after all expenses, into a valuation estimate.
This approach capitalizes the income by an appropriate method and rate as
derived from a market study of similar properties and/or competitive
investments.

The valuation of the subject property will employ the Capitalization of Income
Approach to value.  This section will be preceded by an explanation of the steps
involved in arriving at the independent value estimate.

Valuation & Conclusions                                        Valuation Method
===============================================================================
 
The subject property, as a hotel and casino facility is considered income
producing and investment grade real estate.  As an investment vehicle, real
estate is most often purchased for its ability to generate economic benefits,
such as protection of capital, appreciation, tax benefits and an annual return
on investment or dividend.  Of the three valuation methods, the Capitalization
of Income Approach most accurately reflects the aggregate value of these
benefits.  It traditionally produces the most reliable indication of value for
income producing real estate and, thus, will be given primary consideration for
the final value estimate.

The Cost Approach, in this valuation has not been implemented.

In order to reflect a value indication by the Cost Approach, the improvements
are replaced as if new, and any accrued depreciation is deducted to arrive at a
net improvement value.

Depreciation falls into three broad categories:  Physical Deterioration,
Functional Obsolescence and External Obsolescence.  Physical Deterioration may
be sub-categorized into Curable and Incurable.  Curable physical deterioration
is that loss in value which occurs as the short lived components of the
structure gradually wear out, but are not yet ready to be replaced or redone.
Incurable deterioration refers to the actual physical wear and tear to the major
components of the building.

Functional Obsolescence refers to the adequacy of the building in relation to
the site, and to the utility of the layout and equipment inherent to the
building.  It is often the measure of an overimprovement or underimprovement.
Any functional obsolescence has the ability to be cured, but the cost, in
relation to its contribution to value, is the measure of whether it is curable.

Valuation & Conclusions                                         Valuation Method
================================================================================
 
The third category of depreciation is Economic Obsolescence.  Sometimes referred
to as Environmental Obsolescence, this form of depreciation is a result of
external interference to the property, and is incurable.

Due to the characteristics of the subject property, estimates of accrued
physical deterioration and functional obsolescence becomes inordinately
subjective and extremely difficult to measure with any degree of accuracy.  As
accrued depreciation is fundamental to a value estimate by the Cost Approach,
this approach has been precluded from the subject's valuation.  The Cost
Approach may provide a reliable estimate of value for newly constructed
properties; however, as buildings and other forms of improvements increase in
age and begin to deteriorate, the resultant loss in value becomes increasingly
difficult to quantify accurately.

We find that knowledgeable buyers of similar properties generally base their
purchase decisions on economic factors such as forecasted cash flow and return
on investment.  Because the Cost Approach does not reflect any of these income-
related considerations, but does require a number of highly subjective and
insubstantial depreciation estimates, this approach is usually given minimal
weight in the valuation process.

Additionally, in a similar casino facility, we know of no instance where the
replacement cost of a building was the basis for a purchase decision. The Sales
Comparison Approach has not been utilized. This valuation method provides an
accurate value estimate for simple forms of real estate, such as single family
dwellings or vacant land, where comparable properties tend to be homogenous and
a purchaser's individual goals are similar. However, for income producing real
estate such as the subject, there are numerous

subjective adjustments to be made which are difficult to quantify accurately.
Furthermore, more often than not, income producing real estate (comparable
improved sales) is sold subject to numerous conditions of sale including, but
not limited to, cash flow guarantees, advantageous management agreements and
advantageous seller financing.

Any one or all of these conditions, which may affect the negotiated sale price,
are almost always impossible to uncover and verify when researching a comparable
improved sale, thereby diminishing the reliability of a value indication by the
Sales Comparison Approach.  Furthermore, the Sales Comparison Approach could not
be used for lack of market transactions.

Since the market for this type of real estate gives most consideration to a
property's economic benefits, the Capitalization of Income Approach will be
utilized as a value indicator.

CAPITALIZATION OF INCOME APPROACH
- ---------------------------------

Capitalization, in real estate terminology, is the process by which an income
projection is converted into an indication of value.  The element that
transforms the income projection is a rate that reflects the return necessary to
attract investment capital.  The process of Income Capitalization generally
reflects the principle of anticipation.  Defined as the present worth of
anticipated future benefits, anticipation follows a pattern similar to investor
thinking and motivation.

We studied the market, in addition to the past operating history of casino
hotels similar to the subject, so as to determine the best method or process of
Income Capitalization.  Factors considered in our decision making included the
following:

  -  The age, quality and condition of the improvements.

  -  Occupancy levels in the market.

  -  Projected casino win.

  -  Projected future growth of the market.

  -  Typical investor requirements for a property of this type.

We have concluded that annuity capitalization, utilizing the discounted cash
flow technique, is the most appropriate method of capitalization.  This
valuation process utilizes the following five steps:

1.   Projection of Investment Holding Period.

2.   Projection of Annual Casino Revenue for each year of the holding
     period.

3.   Selection of a Yield Rate.

4.   Projection of Reversionary Value.

5.   Calculation of Net Present Value based on Steps 1 through 4.

STEP 1 -
- ------  

In this valuation of the subject property, we will utilize a ten (10) year
holding period for the investment.  Although the subject has a much longer
useful life, an investment analysis becomes more manageable and meaningful if
limited to a time period considerably less than the real estate's economic life.
A ten (10) year holding period for this investment is long enough to model the
subject's performance with some degree of accuracy, but short enough to
reasonably estimate expected income and expenses of the real estate.  It should
be mentioned that the eleventh (11th) year cash flow was projected in order to
calculate the reversionary interest, which is explained in detail in Step 4.

STEP 2:
- ------ 

CASINO REVENUE
- --------------

In determining future casino revenue for the subject property we have analyzed
historical operating data on the gaming industry in Atlantic City since 1982.
1982 was the first year comprehensive operating data was available on the
individual casinos.  While we did consider and review statistics of the gaming
industries in Las Vegas, Reno, and Laughlin, the information was not considered
in this report, due to the vast differences in these gaming markets.

================================================================================
 
The table below lists total inventory of casino space as of December 31 of each
year.  As can be seen on the following chart, the inventory of casino space
increased by 20.54% from 1983 to 1984, 13.4% from 1984 to 1985, 10.00% from 1986
to 1987, and 6.4% from 1987 to 1988.  From 1988 to 1989, casino space decreased
6.67% due to the closing of the Atlantis Hotel and Casino. In April 1990, the 
Taj Mahal opened its 120,000 square foot casino, increasing industry casino
space by 18.49%. From 1990 to 1992, casino space increased less than 1.00%. The
casinos periodically change the casino floor area slightly to accommodate
different games and slots. This accounts for the less than 1% increase in casino
floor area from 1990 to 1991. 1993 casino floor area remained at 1991 level.
Historical increases in casino space are explored on the following table:

CASINO WIN 1982 - 1993
- ----------------------

The following data lists total casino win, percentage of increase/decrease in
casino win, casino area, and win per square foot per year.  The following win
analysis is based upon win per square foot of casino floor area per year
(Win/SF).  In some instances total win and Win/SF/Year will indicate different
top performers.  For example, in 1982 Resorts International had the largest win,
while the Golden Nugget (now, Bally's Grand) had the largest Win/SF/Year.  The
Golden Nugget is referred to as Bally's Grand throughout the exhibits.

1982
- ----
In 1982 the Golden Nugget was the top performer at $4,526/SF, followed by
Harrah's at $3,985/SF.  Caesars came in third at $3,958/SF.  The worst
performers in 1982 were the Atlantis at $2,623/SF, the Tropicana at $2,948/SF,
and the Claridge at $2,986/SF.  Total industry casino win in 1982 was
$1,493,164,092, representing nearly a 36% increase over 1981.

1983
- ----
In 1983 all of the casinos showed revenue increases over 1982.  The top
performer in 1983 was the Golden Nugget with revenues of $6,455/SF, followed by
Sands at $4,814/SF.  The worst performers in 1983 were, again, the Atlantis at
$2,819/SF and the Claridge at $3,203/SF.

1984
- ----
In 1984, Trump Plaza opened and most of the casinos continued to show revenue
increases per square foot, while other casinos earnings/SF declined due in part
to the additional supply.  In aggregate terms, however, all casinos except the
Golden Nugget showed increases in casino revenue in 1984.

The top performer in 1984 was the Golden Nugget at $6,151/SF, followed by
Harrah's at $4,708/SF.  The worst in 1984 were the Atlantis at $2,880, and Sands
at $3,225/SF.

1985
- ----
In 1985 Trump's Castle opened and 6 casinos showed decreases in revenue on an
aggregate basis, while 4 casinos experienced moderate increases.  Top performers
in 1985 were the Golden Nugget at $5,893/SF, Caesars at $4,167/SF, and Tropicana
at $4,151 /SF.  The worst performers in 1985 were the Atlantis at $2,731/SF, and
Trump Plaza at $3,390/SF.

1986
- ----
In 1986, no additional casino space came on line.  Most casinos showed small
increases in revenue, while others showed decreases in revenue.  The top
performers in 1986 were the Golden Nugget at $5,791/SF, Tropicana at $4,390/SF,
and Caesars at $4,379/SF.  The worst performers in 1986 were the Atlantis at
$2,038/SF, and the Claridge at $2,799/SF.  The Atlantis experienced a 25.64%
decrease in casino revenue between 1985 and 1986.

1987
- ----
In 1987 the top performer was Bally's Grand, formerly the Golden Nugget, at
$5,557/SF and the worst performer was the Atlantis at $1,453/SF.  In 1987 the
Showboat came on line and added 59,388 additional square feet of casino floor
area to Atlantic City.

1988
- ----
In 1988, TropWorld expanded its casino by 27,562 square feet.  Since the
TropWorld expansion became effective in the fourth quarter of 1988, the win/SF
figures are low, as the facility did not benefit from a full year of expanded
casino floor area.

The top performers in 1988 were Caesars at $5,160/SF, and Trump Plaza at
$5,014/SF.  The worst performer in 1988 was the Atlantis at $1,663/SF.

1989
- ----
The top performer in 1989 was Trump Plaza at $5,095/SF, followed by Caesars at
$5,051/SF.  The worst performer in 1989 was the Claridge at $2,988/SF.  The
Atlantis casino discontinued operations on May 22, 1989.  Total casino floor
area decreased by 50,601 square feet in 1989.

1990
- ----
The Trump Taj Mahal opened on April 4, 1990 adding 120,000 square feet of casino
floor area.  While the Taj helped increase total industry win by approximately
5%, it was at the expense of other casinos.  With the exception of the Sands and
the Claridge, all casinos experienced a drop in casino revenues in 1990.

In nine months operation, the Taj won $304,890,000, topping the industry in
gross win.  With regard to win/square foot, however, the top performer was
Caesars at $4,840 followed by Trump Plaza at $4,645.

1991

The year of 1991 was the first full year the Taj Mahal was open.  While showing
the lowest win/square foot in the industry ($3,198/sf), the Taj had the highest
gross casino revenues ($383,764,374) the industry has ever seen.

1992
- ----
While minimal casino space came on line, Atlantic City casino revenues showed an
increase of 8.17%. This is due in part to new legislation allowing 24-hour-a-
day, seven days a week gambling.  Total casino revenue was $3,232,600,000.  The
biggest percentage increase from 1991, reported by Trump's Castle (25.48%),
while the lowest, 1.67% reported by Harrah's.

1993
- ----
Although 1993 had a 2.28% less visitor trips to Atlantic City, gross gaming
revenue of the casinos increased by 1.69% over 1992.  The biggest percentage
increase from 1992, reported by Bally's Grand (9.02%) while the lowest, 5.38%
reported by Caesars.  Once again, the Taj Mahal had the highest gross casino
revenue ($442,064,270) the Atlantic City market has ever seen.

Market Share Analysis
- ---------------------

In order to estimate future casino revenue we have considered existing casino
win, expected trends in the local economy and projected increases in casino
supply.  The chart on the following pages lists historical market share for all
casinos since 1982.  This exhibit indicates fair share, actual share, and market
share for each casino.

to the total casino floor area in Atlantic City.  For example, in 1986 there was
594,085 square feet of total casino space.  Resorts' casino space in 1986 was
59,857 square feet.  Thus, the fair share for Resorts in 1986 was 10.08%. This
fair share percentage is estimated by dividing Resorts' casino floor area by the
total casino floor area in Atlantic City.

The actual share for Resorts is calculated by dividing Resorts' casino win by
total casino win in Atlantic City.  Resorts actual share is greater than its
fair share, which indicates a market share greater than 100.00%.

The market share is calculated by dividing the actual share by the fair share.
The resulting amount is expressed as a percentage.  Any given property's fair
share percentage will change as new casinos come on line.

Assuming that each competitive property (including the subject property) were to
receive only its fair share percentage of casino revenue, each property's total
income would be its fair share percentage multiplied by total industry revenue.
This method assumes that each casino has the same characteristics and has no
inherent advantages or disadvantages in relation to the competition.

The chart on the following pages lists fair share, market share, and market
share % for the various casinos from 1982 - 1993.

CASINO INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
- -----------------------

The Atlantic City casino industry has reached the stability/maturity stage in
its life cycle.  Casino revenues growth has slowed from double-digit rates to
mid single-digit rates, and now to low single digit rates.  The industry is
being squeezed by various factors including stagnant industry growth due in part
to local/regional factors relating to infrastructure, and national factors,
specifically, the current recession.  Although the Nevada casinos do not affect
the market, constant industry growth from Indian reservations such as Foxwoods
in Connecticut and Riverboat casinos in Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, and most
recently in Louisiana, will have some effect on the Atlantic City and Nevada
casino market in the future.

LOCAL FACTORS
- -------------

The Atlantic City Casino industry has matured at a time when the United States,
and more particularly, the northeast is recovering from the recession. In 1985,
for the first time since the inception of gaming, visitor trips to Atlantic City
declined from previous levels. Visitor trips to Atlantic City are listed below.

As is evident in the foregoing table, visitor trips fell 3% from 1988 to 1989,
1% from 1989 to 1990 and 3.27% from 1990 to 1991, and a slight decline is
reflected in 1992. 1993 reflected a further decline of 2.28%.  Part of the
reason for the decline in visits is due to the reduction in unprofitable casino
hotel sponsored bus charters.  Another factor is the local economic economy and
increasing competition from Foxwoods in Connecticut.

Factors limiting future growth in visitors to Atlantic City is the lack of
accessibility to the airport and lack of sufficient hotel rooms.

A study referred to by the Atlantic County Department of Regional Planning
stated that Atlantic City ranks 60 out of 65 North American cities in terms of
convenient airline service and 53 out of 65 cities as easy to get to.
Accessibility has a severe impact on the convention industry as over 60% of
convention delegates arrive by air transportation.  The lack of accessibility
will have a negative impact on the convention center, currently under
construction.

Atlantic City also suffers from a lack of hotel rooms.  The supply of rooms is
not expected to be met until air transportation is improved and the convention
center is built.  While these conclusions set a negative outlook, a review of
progress made toward these goals changes the picture.

In an article in the Newark Star Ledger, Casino Control Commission Chairman
Stephen P. Perskie outlined a six point agenda that could restart the resort's
redevelopment.  The agenda calls for:

*Continued movement toward expanding Atlantic City International Airport.

*The commencement of construction of a new Atlantic City High School.

*Streamlining of casino regulations.

*Implementation of a comprehensive demolition program.

*Continuation of the redevelopment programs of the Casino Reinvestment
Development Authority (CRDA).

*Legislative action on financing the proposed convention center.

Perskie further stated that the area should build on the airport agreement
between Atlantic City's mayor and former Governor James Florio.  Legislation has
been enacted and signed and the planning and design of the airport are currently
underway.

Conclusions
- -----------

The casino industry has currently reached a temporary stage of maturity.  We
call it temporary because we expect additional growth in this industry once the
convention center is built and once the airport is fully expanded.  The result
of the expanded airport will be direct daily flights to Atlantic City.  This
will significantly increase the market area of the industry spurring additional
growth and development.  With this in mind, historical and future industry
growth is detailed as follows:

          1993                  1.82%     $3,291,477,491

As evident above, industry growth rates have been declining from 1985 to 1991 as
the result of a maturing market.  The approximate 1.36% growth from 1990 to 1991
was partially due to the national recession.  However, in 1992, the 12 Atlantic
City casinos reported an increase of 8.06%. 1993 reflects a 1.82% growth among
the 12 Atlantic City casinos.  Given the current state of the national economy,
we anticipate a moderate growth rate in 1994 of 4.00%. By 1995 and forward, we
expect the previously mentioned airport expansion and the convention center to
increase the market area of the industry.  With this in mind, we expect 4%
growth throughout the remainder of the projection period.  Our future industry
casino revenue growth follows:

Future Casino Supply
- ----------------------

The next consideration in estimating market share for the subject property is
the likelihood of other casinos coming on line in the future.  This factor will
have a negative impact on casino revenues for the subject property as additional
casino floor area dilutes market share for the entire industry.  Based upon the
current economic conditions, the current problems in the banking system and
financial markets, we do not anticipate any additional casino properties to be
built over the next 11 years.  Our market share estimation for the property
follows.

Market Share Estimation
- -----------------------

Casino revenue will be estimated based upon fair share of industry-wide casino
win.  However, to further refine the analysis and to provide a more realistic
approach to estimating revenue for the subject property, we assessed the
subject's competitive position in the market.

As evident from the table, the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino market
penetration (market share ratio) has been on the increase.  In 1991 (first full
year of casino operation), the property's market penetration increased to
82.57%. While 1992 market penetration only increased by 1.28% to 83.63%, 1993
reflects a 3.87% increase to 86.87%.  It is our opinion that the subject has
reached a stabilized market penetration.  Throughout the entire holding period,
market penetration has been estimated at 85%, in line with 1993 performance.
This is a realistic market penetration estimate for the property.  Projected
casino revenues are listed below.

FIXED CHARGES
- -------------

Fixed charges are costs of operations irrespective of revenue or occupancy
levels.  Included within this category are real estate tax liability, insurance
costs, and ground lease payments.

Real Estate Taxes
- -----------------

The indicated tax liability for Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort is $16,420,814,
which includes employee parking lot the city of Atlantic City.  The above
liability is based on total assessment of $657,621,700.

The combined tax liability for the facility is as follows:

                               Tax Liability
                               -------------
                           
    Hotel and Casino           $16,187,462.

    Employee Parking Lot Site      233,352.
                               -----------

    TOTAL                      $16,420,814.
                               ===========

We have increased real estate taxes at 5.00% per annum, which is in line with
previous increases in Atlantic City (see Real Estate Tax section of this
report).

Insurance
- ---------

This expense category is estimated at $6,300,000 in Year 1, which is based on
the 1993 actual, however increased by 5.00%. Again, we have increased insurance
at 5.00% per annum.

Trump Realty Rent
- -----------------

This expense category reflects the rent payments for all the leased land, such
as the employee parking lot, etc.

Replacement Reserves
- --------------------

This category provides for the gradual replacement of limited life components
necessary for the operation of the property.  Included in this category are
gaming equipment, furniture, fixtures and other equipment, and building
components.  The replacement reserve category is based upon the sinking fund
premise.  The expected life, and future replacement cost of each item is 
estimated, and a reserve fund is set up to cover these future expenditures.
Consideration is then given to "yield" or "safe" rates currently available in
the marketplace in order to establish the required sinking fund amount.

While it is beyond the scope of this analysis to estimate replacement reserves
based upon the expected life of each limited life component, a stabilized ratio
of 1.50% of total revenue is sufficient to cover these future expenditures.
This estimate is consistent with prior capital expenditures at the property over
the past few years for new gaming equipment, and FF&E etc.  The inclusion of
replacement reserves is standard appraisal practice.

Projection of Income and Expense
- --------------------------------

The following projections of income and expenses reflect the subject property's
anticipated performance over the next eleven years.  The statements are
expressed in current dollars for each calendar year.  This analysis has been
developed from computer software developed by APPRAISAL GROUP International.
Our income and expense projections appear on the following pages.

Valuation & Conclusions                        Capitalization of Income Approach
================================================================================
 
STEP 3 -
- --------

The selection of a yield rate to discount the projected cash flow and eventual
property reversion is based upon our analysis of yield rates anticipated by real
estate investors in the marketplace.  It is important to note that these rates
do not exhibit any particular property's past history, but rather reflect an
investor's current yield expectations on future cash flows.

A yield rate utilized in annuity capitalization (discounted cash flow) differs
from an income rate used in straight capitalization, in that a yield rate
specifically addresses the time value of money and income stream patterns.  If
two identical properties have identical current income levels, except that one
property's income will escalate faster than the other, an income rate such as an
overall rate would not reflect different values, whereas a yield rate
(discounted cash flow) would.  The above is not meant to preclude the use of
income rates.  These rates are appropriate valuation tools when income levels
are static and at regular intervals.  Furthermore, income rates, such as overall
rates, are useful when estimating a property's reversionary value, especially
where long term income projections beyond a specified holding period are
uncertain and highly subjective.

In order to select an appropriate yield rate, we analyzed the motivating factors
that potential purchasers of properties similar to the subject would most
consider.  Among the factors taken into consideration were the following:

          -  Risk
          -  Condition of subject
          -  Current income levels and future projections
          -  Competition
          -  Anticipated growth of the area
          -  Tax benefits
          -  Future Value of the property.

================================================================================

The yield, or rate of return, that a real estate investor is willing to accept
on a current purchase is not only affected by returns on other real estate
transactions. A knowledgeable investor compares the expected yield on a real
estate investment to yields he expects to earn on competitive investments with
similar risk, duration, capital protection, and tax benefits.

Some of the non-real estate investments, typically compared to properties such
as the subject and their respective yields as of November 1993 (most recent
indices published by the Appraisal Institute - see Addenda), are as follows:

At this time, it is somewhat difficult to substantiate an appropriate discount
rate for casino facilities, such as the subject property, because few meaningful
transactions have occurred that clearly illustrate current purchase criteria.

However, a key issue that must be addressed is the fact that hotel and casino
facilities, have fallen from favor as an investment option for most
institutional level buyers.  Sluggish economies have affected this attitude, and
a turnaround is not expected for several years.

An unwillingness to consider hotel and casino facilities as an investment,
unless a property is stabilized, suggests that prices have gone down as a result
of higher return requirements.  But, as mentioned above, the few dated
transactions that have occurred, both in Atlantic City and Nevada, do not
provide a high degree of tangible support for this theory.  The lack of sales

illustrates the unwillingness of sellers to take less for their properties based
on today's buyer yield requirements.  We have found that the differential in
returns between buyers and sellers now approximates 200 to 300 basis points.
Obviously, the disparity goes far in explaining the paucity of closed
transactions.

Nonetheless, one pattern has been illustrated in purchaser due diligence that
provides insight. Today's buyer is making purchase decisions with less emphasis
on future returns (sale at reversion) and placing more emphasis on the current
income to the property.  In some cases, investors are reducing above-market
contractual rents to market rates when making their investment decisions.  This
illustrates the conservative approach investors are taking and the risk now
perceived with real estate as an investment vehicle.  In essence, purchasers
will not pay for speculative upside in today's uncertain market and as a result,
sellers are facing lower than desired offering prices when transactions are in
negotiation.

In order to objectively and rationally select discount rates, we have considered
two methods.  First, we have analyzed yield rates of new bond issues and key
money rates.  Second, we have reviewed required rates of return with real estate
investors.

Recent key bond yields and money rates as of March 14, 1994 are set forth in
the following table.

The above rates indicate that a low-risk, long-term investment, such as a 30-
Year U.S. Treasury Bond, yields a 6.93 percent return.  A yield of 6.98 to 7.59
percent is obtainable through corporate bonds which typically have a lower risk
than income-producing real estate, but higher than government issued paper.  It
should be noted that these rates have been very flat since the beginning of
1992, and the prospect of higher returns is not encouraging.

In analyzing real estate as an investment vehicle relative to the financial
markets, four factors differentiate real estate from the investment
opportunities described in the above chart.  These are tax treatment,
credibility, liquidity and risk, and are described respectively in the following
paragraphs.

Potential arguments against utilizing bond yields and money market rates when
analyzing real estate often include the vast differences in tax treatment.  In
the past, real property ownership

enjoyed many tax benefits that were not available for bond and money instruments
(i.e. interest rate deductions, etc.). However, changes (1986) in the tax laws
have influenced required real estate yields upward due to fewer incentives.

In addition to the tax laws surrounding real estate investments, two major
concerns exist for the real estate industry according to a survey conducted by
NCREIF (National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries): 1) the
credibility of real estate as an investment class; and 2) the illiquidity of
real estate in the market place.  This index is similar to stock market indexes,
such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), in that it has followed the
performance of several specific real estate investments over a period of time.

The credibility of real estate can only be determined through long-term
performance.  The NCREIF index has been in existence for fourteen years, which
is short in comparison to the DJIA and other investment indexes. However, even
in accounting for a severe downturn in the industry in the past several years,
the index reveals long-term yield rates of 9.7 percent for all properties and
12.4 percent for eastern properties. Only time can add to the credibility of
real estate as an investment, but the current trends indicate a respectable
return.

Real estate also suffers from illiquidity, particularly when compared to various
financial instruments that may be converted into cash quickly.  It is often a
long and arduous task to transfer real estate, particularly when the property is
very large and has numerous leases requiring much due diligence and legal
counsel.  This is often a deterring factor when purchasing real estate as an
investment, thus requiring higher yields when compared to stocks and bonds.

The last significant difference between real estate and the financial markets is
the measure of risk.  While no marketplace is perfect or any measure of risk
absolute, the financial markets are more sensitive to fluctuations relative to
the whole market.  The tracking of financial instruments is similar to the
process of gathering comparable sales in the Sales Comparison Approach of the
appraisal process.  The magnitude of trading within the financial market,
analysis of the same instrument by many informed participants and the
adjustments made by the market participants provide a sound indication of yields
at varying degrees of risk.  This sensitivity tends to indicate that the
financial markets illustrate a better measurement of risk than does the real
estate market, due to the lower volume of transactions in real estate.

Therefore, it is very important to analyze the differing levels of risk present
in the financial markets at varying yield rates in order to perceive and select
an appropriate discount rate applicable to the subject.  For the above stated
reason, investors of real estate typically require returns several hundred basis
points above what can be achieved in the financial markets.  In our experience
of casino and hotel facilities transactions, return requirements have ranged
from 600 to 800 basis points above medium quality Corporate bonds.  Therefore,
an appropriate discount rate for the subject would be in the range of
approximately 13.00 to 16.00 percent.

Additionally, we have reviewed two separate investor surveys and conducted our
own telephone interviews.  Respondents to the discount rate survey included
national, institutional- grade, investment and pension fund advisors and local
players in the market.  The answers of the respondents in the retail, office and
lodging categories ranged considerably.  The Peter F. Korpacz Investor survey
for the first quarter of 1994 indicated a discount rate (IRR) range of 9.00 to
20.00 percent, with an average discount rate of 13.93 percent for the National
Luxury

Hotel Market.  The National Full-Service Hotel Market reflects a discount
rate in the range of 10.00% to 20.00% with an average of 15.33%. It should be
noted that the upper end of this range represents troubled or distressed
properties and has not been considered.  The CB National Investor Survey (2nd
Quarter - 1993) indicated a discount rate (IRR) range of 12.00 to 20.00 percent
for hotels with an average of 14.9%. The RCDH report indicates an initial rate
(Ro) of 12.00% to 15.00%.

Before the real estate market began to discernibly respond to the soft market
conditions in most major U.S. Cities, competitive yields had been trending
downward.  In general, this followed the pattern of rates for all properties and
alternative investments.  Further, the downward pattern reflected a competitive
environment in which supply, that is well-located, higher-profile stabilized
facilities, did not match buyer demand.  During this period, rates as low as
10.00 to 10.50 percent were not uncommon for top quality holdings in major metro
areas.  However, in the last eighteen to twenty-four months, we have seen a
reversal of this trend, with rates now in the 11.0 to 15.0 percent range, and
only trophy properties justifying rates below 10.0 to 11.0 percent.

The discount rate is a function of several factors: a property's image,
location, and physical characteristics; appreciation potential, competitive
appeal, and cash flow stability; and the nature or degree of risk, real or
perceived, inherent to the investment.  The subject property is a mature hotel
and casino facility, located along the Boardwalk in Atlantic City.  A higher
yield rate is necessary for a casino hotel because the investor is usually
purchasing an ongoing business along with the real estate.  The business or the
"going concern" portion of the property is substantially dependent on the
competency of the management team.

A recent survey indicates that investors active in the market employ terminal
rates from 8.00% to 11.00%.

Giving the nature of the subject property, we have selected a terminal
capitalization rate of 10.00%, which reflects the added risk associated with a
casino/hotel.

Taken from the previously mentioned investor surveys, terminal capitalization
rates for hotel facilities range from 8.0 to 11.0 percent, with the variance
attributable to many of the same factors mentioned in our discussion of the
discount rate.  However, other issues influence the terminal capitalization rate
and also warrant mention.  First, the physical condition and competitive
position of a property ten (10) years into the future must be studied.  Second,
the nature of the building's occupancy and casino wins in the initial years must
be analyzed.  Finally, the risk inherent to the reversion year's revenue and
expense projections must be measured.  Furthermore, in considering the terminal
rate for the subject property, it is important to analyze all factors which may
affect the subject property, such as gaming regulations and legislation.

On this basis, we have elected to use a terminal capitalization rate of 10.00%.

1994 HOTEL MARKET FORECAST

     As 1993 brought about improvement for the hospitality industry, 1994 is
forecast to show financial gains and increasing hotel values. Hotel investors
struggled through another year of economic recovery, and those that survived the
credit crunch and industry downturn during the past few years will see improved
portfolio yields and growth opportunities.

     Participants in our hotel market forecast survey cited interest rates, job
growth, employment/unemployment, and inflation as the most significant issues
affecting the hotel investment market. Other factors the participants noted, in
order of significance, include: productivity; federal, state, and local taxes;
defense cutbacks; federal, state, and local deficits; corporate and personal
debt, and foreign competition.

     Nearly 60.0% of the respondents view the next 12 months as a buyers'
market. They expect the buyers to include Asian and European strategic
investors, entrepreneurial (owner-operator) investors, REITs, pension funds, and
equity funds. Sellers will be banks, insurance companies, and other
institutional holders who are seeking to divest to reduce balance-sheet
exposure.

     Wall Street is viewed as having a significant role in providing sources of
capital to the hotel investment market. Debt securitization instruments (for
example, public offerings and REMICS), REITs, pension funds, and foreign
investors will be the most active capital sources funding growth. Banks are
virtually out of the picture, and domestic insurance companies are now dealing
with regulatory issues, putting most in a nonlending status.

     The most significant factors that will affect hotels positively, as ranked
by the participants, are absorption of existing rooms, lack of new construction,
national economic conditions, credit availability, and operating expense growth.

     Factors rated as having the greatest negative impact on the industry are
increases in the minimum wage rate, continued room rate discounting, and
inflation. One of the other factors that should not be overlooked is the need to
reinvest capital into aging properties to maintain or obtain the appropriate
franchise affiliation.

     According to Coopers & Lybrand's December 1993 Hospitality Directions,
occupancy rates are forecast to improve to 66.1% in 1994, a 2.2% gain compared
with 1993. Average daily rates, which have shown marginal improvement (1.52%
average growth) over the past two years, are forecast to increase by 2.7% in
1994. The combined effect or RevPAR (revenue per available room) will yield a
6.8% year-end increase over one year ago. This gain will positively affect
bottom-line performance, critical to the industry's building a measurable track
record which many "side-line" investors are anxious to see.

     Most participants see the strongest investment opportunities in the full-
service and economy/limited-service segments, whereas the luxury and resort
segments will continue to lag. A composite of the rankings by product type is
shown in Exhibit III.

     With the pendulum slowly shifting from what has been a strong buyers'
market to a more balanced playing field, increasing competition among buyers for
quality product is exerting downward pressure on cap rates and yield
expectations. There are exceptions to this, most notably older noninstitutional-
grade hotels and hotels located along the West Coast, south of San Francisco,
where recessionary conditions still prevail.

     Survey participants were asked to evaluate seven investment criteria and
the percent change anticipated for 1994. The criteria evaluated were free and
clear equity IRRs, leverage equity IRRs, free and clear equity cap rates,
residual cap rates, average daily rates, occupancy, and operating expenses. In
addition, participants were asked to forecast 1994 price and value trends.
Results are summarized below.

National Full-Service Hotel Market

     The majority of the participants surveyed indicated that both free and
clear and leveraged IRRs are generally expected to decline from prior-year
requirements. The rate of change ranges from 0.0% to 5.0%. Free and clear equity
cap rates are also expected to show a decline ranging from 0.0% to 10.0%. One
participant took exception to this, noting that yields may trend upward by as
much as 1.0% to 2.0%. Residual cap rates are also expected to decline as
competition increases for quality earnings-producing assets.

     Average daily rates are projected to show a change rate ranging from 1.5%
to 6.0%, with the consensus around 3.0%. By comparison, the WEFA Group (Wharton
Econometrics) is projecting inflation at 2.9% for 1994. All participants expect
occupancy to improve, particularly in light of limited new construction.
Operating expenses are also forecast to increase within a 2.0% to 4.0% range.
Finally, according to the participants surveyed, prices and values are forecast
to increase from 0.0% to 10.0%.

National Economy/Limited-Service Hotel Market

     The forecast change in free and clear IRRs is within a range of 200 basis
points

up or down. However, the majority of participants indicated a decline
from prior-year requirements. Clearly, there is now more seller resistance to
discount pricing for quality product which would lower going-in yields, but by
how much is yet to be determined. This also holds true for leveraged yields;
however, there could be an even greater swing in leveraged IRRs depending on the
magnitude of changes in interest rates. This will be closely monitored as we
track trends. Overall, equity and residual cap rates are forecast to show
minimal change, approximately 100 basis points up or down.

     Average daily rates are forecast to show a change ranging from 2.0% to
6.0%, with occupancy increasing from 1.5 to 3.0 percentage points. Increases in
operating expenses are forecast in the range of 1.0% to 4.0%, with the mean of
approximately 3.0%. As in the full-service hotel market segment, prices and
values are forecast to increase from 0.0% to 10.0%.

National Luxury Hotel Market

     Luxury hotels, which have experienced a significant decline in values and
investor appeal, should begin to see some activity, particularly from off-shore
investors and entrepreneurial funds. Institutional holders of these hotels have
marked down asset values to levels that now make economic sense in some cases.
The majority of participants with assets in this market segment forecast
declining yields. The forecast change ranges from 0 to minus 450 basis points.
Free and clear equity cap rates are expected to show a greater decline than
residual cap rates, indicative of the increasingly competitive investment
climate.

     Average daily rates are forecast to show a change rate ranging from 1.5% to
8.0%, with occupancy also increasing at a pace of 1.0 to 4.0 percentage points.
Luxury properties will continue, though, to be hampered by increasing consumer
price sensitivity and the significant capital required to acquire and maintain
them. Operating expenses are forecast to increase at a rate of 3.0% to 4.0%. The
participants anticipate that prices and values will increase in some cases by as
much as 15.0%; however, this will still be well below original project cost.

Portfolio Mix

The participants were asked to share their 1993 hotel portfolio mix and what
they foresee in 1996. The results are shown in Exhibit IV. Although the
percentages are forecast to change slightly by 1996, hotel investors will
continue to prefer full-service and economy/limited-service hotels over luxury
hotels and resorts.

This chart depicts the Hotel Portfolio Mix, highlighting the luxury hotel 
percentages. In 1993, there were 26.9% luxury hotels compared to 25.6% in 1996.

HOTEL VALUATION ISSUES

     One question appraisers commonly ask is What are typical industry ratios
for base and incentive management fees? If this item is not correctly reflected,
there can be a material over- or understatement of value.

     Hotel management has experienced dramatic change over the past six years,
with institutional owners and lenders requiring management to perform more like
joint owners and take on a greater portion of the financial risk. Institutional
owners recognize that a hotel is a management-intensive, going-concern asset,
unlike other forms of real estate.

     Management contracts are now being negotiated with bottom-line performance
emphasis and no or low penalty termination provisions. For full-service and
luxury properties, conditions are even more demanding, and management often must
provide performance guarantees and equity contributions.

     Is there a typical management fee structure? In an attempt to address this
question, we asked the survey participants to provide data on both base and
incentive fees by hotel market segment. All participants reported that base
management fees are computed as a percentage of gross revenue. The ranges and
averages in base management fees for each hotel market segment are as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                     Type                     Range              Average
           <S>                              <C>                  <C>
           Full-Service                     2.0%-4.0%                3.0%
           Economy/Limited-Service          2.0%-5.0%                3.6%
           Luxury                           1.5%-4.0%                2.5%
</TABLE>

     Base fees have declined from historical levels of typically 5.0% of revenue
as increasing emphasis is placed on what are referred to as "incentive fees."
The long-term, high-cost, base management fees of the 1980s simply do not appear
in agreements today. Incentive fees are performance driven and are often, but
not always, computed as a percentage of pretax NOI or percentage of increased
cash flow. For leveraged investments, pretax NOI often includes debt service.
Several of the most common structures for incentive fees are highlighted below:

          .   x% of NOI after FF&E reserve and minimum return to owner; percent
              can range from 10.0% to 20.0%.

          .   x% over a minimum return to owner.

          .   x% over pre-takeover annual performance.

          .   x% of gross operating profit (GOP).

The 1994 Hotel Market Forecast and Hotel Valuation Issues were prepared by
Coopers & Lybrand.

NATIONAL FULL-SERVICE HOTEL MARKET

The future is becoming increasingly brighter for the full-service hotel
market segment, as evidenced by the recent "good media" and the overall
improvement in market conditions. Our survey participants anticipate that a
continued strengthening of the financial performance of hotels will stimulate
more interest for investment-grade assets. This interest is being fueled in part
by corporate acquisitions with "off-shore dollars" and capital from the domestic
public markets and pension and entrepreneurial funds.

     Although only the top 10.0% of investors seem to have what they believe is
sufficient access to capital, the survey participants indicate that
institutional lenders, such as credit companies and life insurance companies,
will likely reenter the hotel investment market in late 1994. As a result, hotel
prices and values will continue to rebound; however, regional disparities will
exist. Hotel values are still depressed in California and little change is
expected this year.

     Limited new construction and an increase in room demand from both the
commercial and leisure markets are contributing to the increase in occupancy
rates. With the improvement of occupancy, average daily rates will also grow.
The survey results show a 51-basis-point increase in the average daily rate
change rate to 3.29% (see Table 12). This compares favorably with 1994 inflation
expectations of 2.9%, as projected by the WEFA Group. These increases will
provide greater return to investors.

     As reported last quarter, many new buyers continue to enter the market,
closing the gap between bid and asking prices. As this interest continues and
the volume of RTC and institutional REO assets decreases, sellers will hold
performing assets until a buyer meets their price. One respondent mentioned that
"more capital is pursuing hotel product, with some money being rolled over from
successful RTC investments."

     The average free and clear equity IRR increased 28 basis points to 15.33%
this quarter. However, when excluding new survey participants, the equity free
and clear IRR decreased 5 basis points.

     The average free and clear equity cap rate increased 5 basis points to
11.48% this quarter. However, once again when excluding new survey participants,
the equity free and clear cap rate decreased 20 basis points.

     The average residual cap rate decreased 41 basis points to 11.48% from last
quarter's 11.89%. While the overall averages would suggest an upward trend in
return requirements, many respondents have lowered their required yields for
nondistressed product.

     Hotel investors often seek some form of debt capital to finance
investments. This quarter leveraged IRRs were surveyed to determine the premium
and/or discount compared with free and clear equity IRRs. For the current
quarter, the respondents reported an average leveraged IRR, assuming 50.0% to
60.0% debt, of 23.25%, a 792-basis-point premium over the average free and clear
equity IRR. With current low interest rates, investors who can access debt
capital can take advantage of the positive spread to boost leveraged equity
returns. This is also enabling them to increase the bid on a property when
competing with all-equity investors.

     Common investment criteria cited were positive current cash flow and the
potential for stronger cash flow. Investors continue to emphasize cash-on-cash
returns and direct capitalization when analyzing deals, with continuing emphasis
on exit strategies. Most participants indicate a preference for the Midwest and
South and are less interested in hotels in the Northeast.

     Overall, the hotel investment market is becoming more active with new
buyers seeking quality product. Most participants indicate that the first
quarter of 1994 will be a good time to buy. However, as competition increases,
prices and values will respond by increasing.

NATIONAL LUXURY HOTEL MARKET

Our survey participants remain less interested in luxury hotels and resorts
than in full-service and economy/limited-service properties.  The large
capital requirements, perceived higher risk, and historically longer period
required to realize investment objectives deter many active investor groups
from pursuing this type of product.  Many of the participants report that
an increase in investment capital pursuing quality product is exerting
downward pressure on cap rates.

     Occupancy for this market segment has improved during the past 12 months,
and further gains are anticipated this year. Average daily rates are also
expected to improve this year, but gains will be limited by corporate and
consumer price sensitivity. For the current quarter, survey participants
anticipate an average initial year change rate of 3.0%, which compares favorably
with the WEFA Group's 1994 inflation projection of 2.9%.

     Geographic areas for investments vary; some of the preferred locations
include the Mid-Atlantic and Sunbelt, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and
Atlanta.

     Investment interest for luxury product is up, even though there have been
significantly fewer transactions than reported in the other segments. Investors
continue to look for quality assets at discounted prices as much as 50.0% below
original project cost. One participant said, "The next wave of troubled
properties to surface will be the worst of the 1980s deals," described as high-
priced, long-term management contract deals. Another participant specifically
noted that "the greatest dollar impact will be felt in the luxury segment as
foreign lenders finally work through problems and sell off bad deals."

     The average free and clear equity IRR decreased 157 basis points to 13.93%
this quarter (see Table 14). The decline is due to increased capital competing
for a limited supply of quality assets, according to survey participants.
Additionally, there is anticipation of improving market conditions in selected
market areas, thereby reducing perceived investor risk.

     The average free and clear equity cap rate for the current quarter declined
150 basis points to 10.25%. The average residual cap rate decreased 70 basis
points to 10.00%. It will be interesting to see whether this is a continuing
trend or a new year adjustment in anticipation of increased competition.

     Investors were asked to provide equity return requirements on leveraged
investments, where debt represents 50.0% to 60.0% of the financing. Survey
respondents indicated a leveraged equity IRR of 19.83%, a 590-basis-point
premium over the average free and clear equity IRR.

     Overall, investment interest in the luxury hotel market is on the rise
although it lags their interest in the other hotel market segments by a
considerable margin. This segment continues to be the most difficult to measure
in terms of value trends due to a limited number of actual transactions.
Investors still continue to search in strong growth markets for properties that
have cash flow upside through repositioning and better management. One stimulus
that can alter this is how active a role Wall Street takes in marketing these
products through equity and/or debt securitization.

VOL. 22, NO. 3 - 1993

Emerging Trends in Real Estate:  1994

Real Estate Research Corporation and Equitable Real Estate Investment
Management, Inc.

   In the next two issues of the RERC Real Estate Report we will publish
excerpts from this year's Emerging Trends. In this issue, we will reprint
Chapter 1, It's Started, which outlines the major findings of this year's
report.

Forward

   Every year since our 1985 report, in the midst of an unprecedented
development boom, Emerging Trends in Real Estate has warned about and then
chronicled the fall of the real estate markets.  Victims of a "kill the
messenger syndrome," our past cautions were not always welcomed by the industry,
no matter their unfortunate accuracy.  With this in mind, we cannot be accused
of undue optimism in this year's forecast when our evaluation points finally to
trends suggesting that markets have bottomed and are beginning what promises to
be an extended convalescence.

   As always, Emerging Trends is based on face-to-face, in-depth interviews and
surveys with more than 100 leading real estate investors and experts--executives
from pension funds, banks, insurance companies, and advisors as well as
investment bankers, developers and well known entrepreneurs.  Their consensus
views form the backbone of this report, which is supplemented by analysis and
research of Real Estate Research Corporation and Equitable Real Estate
Investment Management, Inc.  

   The focus of Emerging Trends has changed over the past decade, reflecting the
dramatic upheaval in the real estate business. Interviewees use to be dominated 
by developers and syndicators, the report's primary audience was developers, and
its prognostications revolved around where the best development opportunities 
existed in the country. Now our interviewees are loathe to even reference the 
"D" word, let alone say it, and the continued absence of any significant 
commercial construction activity is the primary reason for why markets are 
starting to turn.

   With development a moot point, we redirected Emerging Trends in recent years,
writing the report for real estate investors--providing a broad overview for 
guiding decision-making, pointing out opportunities as well as the quicksand. 
Since the 1990 issue, we have also significantly expanded our survey to probe 
our interviewees for their investment perspectives on land uses, cities, capital
sources, values, and pricing. These surveys provide a more quantitative context 
to the subjective interviewing process.

   Now in its fifteenth year, Emerging Trends has watched and predicted the
movements of almost a complete real estate cycle and the ultimate downsizing of
our industry. The report has evolved, changed, and expanded with the ups and
downs of what has been the industry's most volatile era. Mostly thanks to the
interviewees, our forecasts have been repeatedly on target. With some small
measure of optimism at hand, we're actually looking forward to being right
again.

It's Started: Recovery Moves Forward Slowly

   For 1994, investors can size up the real estate markets in either of two 
ways--both accurate:

 .  A sluggish economy, coupled with corporate makeovers and less-than-optional 
demographic shifts, hobbles the markets and set roadblocks to quick recovery. 
Office markets may not see real improvement until the end of the century. 
Development prospects are moribund, and new construction slumps to a 30-year 
low. Capital sources, aside from much-hyped and expensive Wall Street vehicles, 
are still in retreat, just-in-time, QVC, laptops, E-Mail, portable phones--the 
progeny of burgeoning technology--are threats to the real estate landscape as 
we've known it.

 .  Tight capital is good news. Realism has taken hold, fostering disciplined 
underwriting and a focus on fundamentals--location, credit tenants, quality. The
development bust is just what the industry needed to get back on its feet. Low 
interest rates continue to be a boon, helping values recover and making real 
estate yields more attractive. In fact, pension funds actually assess real 
estate as competitive with stocks and bonds for future investment potential and 
are ready to reenter the asset class--in a measured fashion. If anything, 
investors are missing the chance to lock in large yield spreads on very 
conservatively underwritten mortgages. Significantly, values are stabilizing; 
1994 should even see slight upticks for warehouses and malls, as well as gains 
for apartments on top of good coupon returns. The success of high-quality equity
REIT offerings has been a shot in the arm, restoring some confidence in the 
industry as they bail out prominent owners in need of refinancing.

   No matter how you call it, the recovery process has begun. Prospects for 
investment real estate should improve, slowly but steadily, through the end of 
the decade. Despite the depth of the real estate depression and its continuing, 
jarring aftershocks, this is the first time since 1984 that Emerging Trends has 
seen a generally positive directing taking hold--albeit for a smaller, 
transformed industry. There's no easy money to be made, and the shakeout isn't 
over by any means. Investors must be highly selective in identifying and 
analyzing prospective acquisitions or financing candidates. But it's time to 
start looking at real estate again--with a sober, calculated view.

   How protracted will the recovery period be? What obstacles still stand in the
way? Where are the investment opportunities and the nasty traps? Who will own 
and finance real estate as we go forward, and what are the prospects for each 
major market and property category? Based on face-to-face interviews and 
in-depth surveys with the nation's leading real estate executives, Emerging 
Trends seeks to answer these and other questions in our annual industry outlook.

   Last year, Emerging Trends interviewees saw real estate as an impaired 
investment category, beset by negative returns and still-plunging short-term 
prospects. They wanted signs that markets were bottoming out and stabilizing 
before they would commit to the asset class again. Today those signals are 
coming through. While fixed-income securities and equities have at record 
highs, real estate is at a postwar low. However, most investors, while viewing 
real estate much more favorably, are somewhat chary of being first back into the
markets. They want further evidence of firming before they move with conviction.
They also wonder which specific properties to invest in, given the remaining
market uncertainties. But they are ready to move. In 1994, look for marked
improvement in investor appetites.

   In order of preference, multifamily, industrial warehouse, and regional mall 
properties will be the focus of investors coming back into the market. 
Apartments, the top choice, are in tight supply and values are actually
increasing. Warehouse and retail mall values are stabilizing. Office properties,
especially downtown, receive low ratings; but suburban office is strengthening,
and with prices well below replacement costs there may be some excellent value
plays. Despite improved balance sheets, there's still not much interest in
hotels.

   No one expects a sudden, dramatic turnaround. In fact, for all the talk of 
improved real estate karma, the Emerging Trends panel is more worried now about 
an anemic economic delaying recovery than it was a year ago, especially for 
office markets. Nevertheless, as one interviewee sums it up: "It's going to take
longer, but it's started. That's the important thing. We're stabilizing and 
we're finally looking up." There's little doubt that the real estate recovery 
will be slow and spotty. We define recovery as the stage in which values begin 
to increase as a result of improvement in effective rental rates and movement 
toward market equilibrium. For office properties, real rents won't increase 
until mid-1996, according to the consensus. Some regional malls may see small 
value hikes in '94, but others will shut down, unable to compete for the 
shrinking number of retail tenants.

   Washington, D.C., and Atlanta rank as the nation's strongest markets for real
estate investment. Denver jumps to third, spurred by dramatic strengthening in
its residential category. Overall, market assessments are more bullish than they
were last year, but the nation's capital ranks as the only city where real
estate values can be expected to increase--just barely--in 1994. Los Angeles
again brings up the rear, with New York and Philadelphia also lagging. Sunbelt
markets in general have stronger near-term prospects, as population growth
promises to be the engine for better performance.

   Almost unanimously, the interviewees peg job growth as the key to pulling
real estate out of its pit and triggering substantial improvement. But no one
anticipates a wave of positive employment trends this is the biggest reason for 
tempered outlooks on the industry rebound. Company layoffs and much-ballyhooed 
reengineerings, the pressures of competing globally, and technological 
advancements that discourage the need for more space are stymieing white-collar 
job growth and will restrain office demand over the next decade. Government 
spending on major initiatives to produce jobs and encourage overall economic 
expansion is blocked by the federal deficit. Since the end of the 1991-1992 
recession, job creation has been in lower-paying work with less security and 
lower benefits. This is not the type of employment growth that fills office 
buildings. Meanwhile, dampened consumer confidence, resulting in part from the 
tepid jobs picture, has been staunching any change for robust sales gains at 
malls.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The industry outlook for the overall economy is also underwhelming. On a 
scale of one to ten (one being very weak and ten very strong), interviewees rate
the economy for 1994 at a plodding 4.8, not much better than 1993's 3.8 rating. 
Again, no one expects the type of economic rebound that will fuel a dramatic 
recovery in any of the real estate markets.

   On the other hand, interviewees acknowledge that low interest rates have been
a godsend in allowing the recovery to take root. Their outlook is for rates to 
rise, but only slightly in 1994.

   Increased capital flows are another necessary ingredient for the market's
comeback, and which raises perhaps the most interesting question for this year's
Emerging Trends: Who will own and finance real estate after the great debacle?
The traditional sources--banks and life insurance companies--have been forced to
the sidelines by regulators and ratings agencies. They will return--banks
sooner, insurers certainly not in 1994. Pension funds, while again considering
new investments, can't be expected to fill the void, although may in the real
estate industry would like to think they can. Foreign investors are back home
nursing their wounds and will not be players in the foreseeable future.

   Wall Street activity REITs, commercial loan securitizations, and venture
capital plays--are leading the way in returning some liquidity to the markets.
But hoopla aside, REITs will remain a niche investment category. Yield greed,
not necessarily real estate fundamentals, have been the REITs' great attraction
in 1993. However, they have drawn a lot of positive attention to real estate,
providing a badly needed boost for the beleaguered asset class. Probably more
significant are the mortgage conduits being created to access Wall Street money
and filling the temporary-financing gap left by banks and insurers. These
sources will supply much-needed capitalization for smaller and midsized owners
of multifamily and commercial real estate while REITs provide short-term relief
for some of the bigger players. In keeping with the lukewarm turnaround under
way, more capital will return to real estate in 1994 but it will still be in
relatively short supply.

   The more traditional transaction volume from private sales should advance 
modestly in 1994, despite recent market inertia. Activity will pick up as banks 
shed more of their costly-to-manage REO holdings and insurers expedite portfolio
reduction to meet stringent risk-based capital guidelines. Again, apartments, 
warehouses, and retail will be where the action is, as deal spreads narrow in 
the wake of improved performance trends. Pension funds will be investing in 
those categories. Entrepreneurs, less risk-averse, may dabble in picking off 
quality office buildings.

   As for development, forget about it! The industry has. And that's probably 
the most telling evidence of how realistic and purposeful the marketplace has 
become about what's needed to sustain recovery. Development has almost fallen 
out of the real estate vocabulary; trying to find a regional mall or office 
building under construction is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

   Any new project is basically pie-in-the-sky. To even think about discussing 
your pipe dreams is risking ridicule. The only possibilities for new 
construction are apartment developments in markets exhibiting both constrained 
supply and surging population growth and the occasional office or industrial 
warehouse build-to-suit.

   Changes in the tax code have their pluses and minuses, and could be viewed as
a wash for the industry. Relief from onerous passive-loss rules is one positive,
although owners will not be able to carry forward and deduct old passive losses 
incurred before January 1, 1994. The "five  or 50" rule limiting pension fund 
investment in REITs was relaxed, but there are still some ownership limitations.
A minus in the new laws is the provision that stretches depreciation schedules 
from 31.5 to 39 years on new properties placed in service.

   An increasingly important issue commanding the attention of all real estate 
owners today is property security and tenant safety. It's not a new concern but 
crime is just so much more pervasive and seemingly more violent. Malls can't 
afford headlines that suggest they're dangerous places. Corporate tenants make 
security an important negotiating point. Alarm systems and gatehouses are 
becoming expected amenities in apartment complexes. Of course, for hotels guest 
safety is absolutely crucial. It's a bleak commentary, but owners and investors 
who neglect providing secure environments are courting potentially devastating 
consequences for their properties.

   Real estate enters a period of extended convalescence in 1994. The cycle is 
making its turn upward after a harrowing, debilitating descent. No one wants to 
relive the joyride from excess to oblivion that made the '80s notorious. In the 
real estate world of the '90s, less will be viewed as more. Less capital, less 
development, less popularity, and reduced expectations will ultimately yield a 
stronger, more stable industry. This attitude adjustment has largely been 
imposed on the industry by the severity of its collapse and the realities of the
economy. But now that heads are screwed on straighter, the real estate markets 
are finally moving slowly, but forward.

Economic conditions

   Economic signals remain somewhat mixed as the Clinton Administration wrestles
to get the domestic economy firmly on track and at the same time address larger
policy issues.

*  The economy has been growing at a faster pace than we thought. Every year at 
this time, the U.S. Department of Commerce revises its estimates of GDP. This 
year's update covered data back to 1990. The new figures show that for the past 
six quarters, the economy has grown at an annual rate of 3%, up from 2.5% based 
on the old data. Growth during 1992 was revised to 3.9%, up from 3.1%. The year 
finished strongly, with fourth-quarter 1992 growth revised upwards to 5.7%.

*  The economy has slowed somewhat during the first half of 1993. Revised 
numbers place first-quarter growth at an anemic annual rate of 0.8%. 
Second-quarter growth GDP was not much better at 1.8%. The good news is that 
during this slowdown, job growth accelerated and domestic demand remained 
strong. This suggests that the economy has enough momentum for a second-half 
rebound.

*  The employment picture is more encouraging, though the job market continues
to move in fits and starts. For example, the August job figures showed a loss of
39,000 jobs, compared to a gain of 211,000 in July. Many analysts believe that
the August numbers will be revised to show an employment gain. Overall, through
August, the economy has added 1.2 million jobs in 1993, and this is expected to
hit more than 2.0 million by year-end.

*  Not all the job news is good. The manufacturing sector continues to struggle.
In August, manufacturing shed a further 42,000 jobs, bringing the year-to-date
total to more than 200,000 jobs lost. Large corporations continue to announce
cutbacks, including Kodak and Procter and Gamble during the third-quarter.
Manufacturing employment is now at its lowest level since 1965 and its share of
total employment has slipped from 26% in 1973 to 16% today. These losses are
being offset by gains in the service sector which has seen payrolls rise by 1.3
million since January.
 
*  Indications are that consumers are beginning to climb to their feet once
again.  After slipping rapidly during the first-half of 1993, consumer
confidence shows signs of strengthening. In September, the
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conference Board's index of consumer confidence moved upwards to 62.6 from 59.3
in August.  It marked the index's third consecutive monthly increase.  Of
interest, is the continued split between consumers' upbeat assessment of present
conditions (at a 2-1/2 year high), but somewhat downbeat view of the long-term
outlook.

  *Increased consumer confidence is reflected in retail sales. Retail sales
continue to remain strong, rising 0.2% in August, and 0.3% in July.  After
adjusting for prices, retail sales have risen a healthy 5.3% over the past year.

  *The housing market is also showing more life.  Housing starts in August
increased nearly 8%, to an annual rate of 1.32 million, the highest level in 3-
1/2 years.  Cheap mortgages and better weather fueled the gains and starts rose
in all regions, except the Northeast where they fell.  Low mortgage rates are
now translating into increased sales.  The Mortgage Bankers Association reports
that by early September, mortgage applications had risen 35% from June.  New
home sales are critical to lifting the economy, as they translate into increased
consumer spending for home-related goods.

  *Inflation remains under control.  Through August, consumer prices were up
just 2.8% from the previous year.  They are expected to end the year well below
3%, the lowest pace in 21 years.  On the producer side, inflationary pressure is
virtually non-existent this year.  During the past year, producer prices have
risen at an annual rate of just 0.6%.

[Insert graphic material here. This is The RERC Real Estate Barometer: Third 
Quarter 1993. The chart uses a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "very bad" and 10 
being "very good." The question "Is now a good time to buy?" rates a 7.5. The 
question "Is it a good time to sell?" rates a 4.0. Finally, the question "What 
is the current availability of capital?" rates a 5.3.]

  *Continued low inflation should keep interest rates low.  Long-term rates,
critical to stimulating the economy, continue to be pushed lower.  The 30-year
Treasury fell below 6% in September.  Signs are that these low rates are finally
working their way across the economy.  The best sign is that bank lending is up
after two years of little or no growth, with personal and real estate loans
accounting for the lion's share of the rise.  Lower rates lift demand for the
economy's interest-sensitive sectors, such as homebuilding, durable-goods, and
autos.  They also free up cash flow for businesses to invest elsewhere.

   Although economic signals remain somewhat mixed, the general trend is
encouraging.  It is against this economic back drop that our panel reported
third-quarter figures.

Investment Overview

   It's official, the bottom has been reached.  This quarter we asked our panel
to rate (on a 0 to 10 scale, with 0=falling, 5=bottom, and 10=rising) where we
currently are in the real estate cycle.  The overall average was 5.1.  This
rating supports our panel's growing mood of optimism over the past three
quarters.  Consensus is that the bid-ask spread continues to be squeezed
(especially for apartment and warehouse
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

properties), transaction activity has picked up, and capital has returned to the
market.  A number of respondents noted that the best opportunities may already
have been past, though attractive buy opportunities remain.

   Panelists also commented that many markets have shown signs of stabilizing;
concessions are being squeezed out, effective rents have stabilized, and, with
no new construction, net absorption is zero or slightly positive.  Our
respondents remain realists, however, and note that although markets may have
bottomed, the lack of new job growth and continued corporate downsizing and
restructuring will mean that recovery will be a slow and protracted process.

   Transaction activity is being spurred by the increasing number of REITs that
are coming to market, particularly in the apartment and retail sectors.  The
ability of REITs to access relatively inexpensive capital has resulted in their
ability to bid aggressively for properties.  This in turn has pushed
capitalization rates downward. This movement is reflected in RERC's Real Estate
Barometer.  For the Third Quarter Survey, the bid-ask spread narrowed to 3.5,
down from 4.2 the previous quarter and the lowest level since RERC started
measuring the spread in 1991.  Although the buy position continues to be heavily
favored, scoring a 7.5 on the scale (10=high), it slipped slightly from last
quarter.  Conversely, the sell position scored a 4.0, still relatively weak, but
up strongly from 3.4 the previous quarter.

   As reported by our respondents, transaction activity picked up in the prior,
or second quarter.  Fifteen panelists reported transaction activity for the
first six months of 1993, totaling 35 deals, valued at $720 million.  The
average indicated deal size was $20.5 million.  Of the 15 respondents providing
data, three had yet to close a deal in 1993.

   Our panel continues to be bullish on the availability of capital.  This
quarter they rated capital availability an encouraging 5.3 on a 1 to 10 scale
(10=plentiful).  This is up from 5.0 last quarter, and an anaemic 3.8 for first-
quarter 1993. Again, a prime factor influencing this response has been the
continued appetite of Wall Street.  However, Wall Street is not the only source
of capital.  Pension funds and entrepreneurial individuals continue to show
increased interest.  Even banks, which many had written off for the remainder of
the decade, have shown signs that they will once again consider real estate
loans.  This is not too surprising given returns on alternative investments.

Yield requirements

   Real estate yield expectations moved down or remained unchanged for all
property types except neighborhood/community shopping centers.  As Table 1
shows, reported yield requirements range from
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.0% to 15.0%, with property averages ranging from 11.3% to 12.8%.  The mean
required yield for all property types edged down for the second straight
quarter, from 12.1% to 12.0%.

   Changes in yield expectations from the previous quarter were relatively
small.  The largest decrease was for 30 basis points for R&D properties.  Office
properties, both CBD and suburban, lead all property types with the highest
average yield requirement (12.8%), followed by R&D (12.6%), and
neighborhood/community shopping centers (12.2%).  Regional malls continue to
have the lowest return expectations (11.3%), followed by apartments (11.5%), and
warehouse and retail power centers (both at 11.8%).  As always, we underline
that these rates represent unleveraged yield expectations, not realized returns.

   Going-in capitalization rates decreased for all property types, with the
exception of CBD and suburban office properties.  Average going-in rates ranged
from 7.7% for regional malls to 10.6% for suburban office properties.  The
average going-in rate decreased by 20 basis points for warehouse buildings and
retail power centers, while it increased 10 basis points for CBD and suburban
office properties.

   Average terminal capitalization rates ranged from 8.4% for regional malls to
10.2% for suburban office properties.  Changes in terminal capitalization rates
were more mixed than changes in going-in rates.  The gap between average going-
in rates and average terminal rates ranges from +70 basis for regional malls and
retail pow centers to -40 basis points for suburban office properties.  As
indicated in Table 1, investors are using higher going-in rates than terminal
rates for office properties, and in some cases R&D properties.  This reflects
the continued state of disequilibrium in these markets and the expectation that
market conditions will be better at the end of the holding period than they are
today.  Currently, investors are placing more emphasis on current cash flow than
future appreciation when valuing property.  This trend will be discussed in more
detail later in the report.

   Table 3 illustrates historic spreads between the average targeted yield for
real estate and actual yields for alternative investments.  The gap between real
estate yields and capital markets continues to increase.  The current range in
spreads is from 460 basis points on Aa Utilities to a whopping 630 basis points
on 10-year Treasuries.  The 630 basis points spread over Treasuries is the
largest spread since the early 1980s.  The continued widening of the gap
highlights the relative attractiveness of real estate vis-a-vis other asset
classes and the increasing attention real estate is generating from yield hungry
institutional investors.

Property preference

   Our respondents were asked to rate the nine property types in terms of their
current investment conditions.  Table 4 shows the average scores for each
property type.  This quarter, apartments moved
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

solidly back to the top of the pile after slipping to second place last quarter.
Apartments scored an impressive 7.0 on a 1 to 10 scale (10=very good).
Apartments continue to top most investor's acquisition lists.  But, as we have
been saying for the past two quarters, this popularity has its price.  Good
quality apartment properties are becoming more difficult to find and competition
has pushed capitalization rates down and prices up.  Demand for apartments is
coming from two main sources:  pension funds, typically underweighted in this
asset class; and REITs, flush with cash for acquisitions.

   Apartment REITs have flourished over the past year.  NAREIT reported that
apartment REITs raised over $780 million in the first half of 1993, double
1992's $326 million.  By mid-1993, the 10 existing apartment REITs controlled
approximately 71,500 units.  The success of these REITs has resulted in a flurry
of new issues.  During third-quarter, no less than eight additional apartment
REITs are expected to come to market, controlling an additional 71,000 units.

   Warehouse properties saw ratings move upwards this quarter, to 6.4 from 6.0.
Despite mixed signals from the economy, industrial properties continue to be
favored and placed near the top of most investor's acquisition lists.  The
reasons for this are relatively simple:  compared to most other property types,
warehouses have performed relatively well over the past three years.  Although
vacancies have increased and rents and values have slipped slightly, overall,
the supply and demand fundamentals of this asset class have remained intact.
However, investors must be knowledgeable when making new acquisitions, paying
attention to big-picture trends in manufacturing and distribution technology.

   The remaining property types, with the exception of R&D, saw their ratings
drop this quarter.  CBD office and hotels continue to languish at the bottom of
the list.  Although they receive low ratings, contrarian investors with courage
and strong hearts are taking a serious look at these assets, figuring that the
best buys may be just around the corner for these property types.

Geographic preference

   Geographic preferences of our panel are gathered on a semiannual basis.
Table 5 shows how investors rate the relative strengths of competing markets as
of the third quarter 1993. Overall, the increased optimism of our panel is
reflected in their ratings of the 16 major markets, with most cities seeing an
increase in their ratings from first quarter 1993.

   Washington, D.C. and Atlanta continue to top our panelist's list with ratings
of 6.9 and 6.6, respectively.  Washington, D.C. has held the top spot for the
past year.  Our respondents feel this will be
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the first market to recover, buffered by stable government payrolls and a well
compensated private sector.  While the retail and residential markets are
improving, office market remains troubled.

   Atlanta's affordable middle class lifestyle is a magnet for population
migration to this metro area, and it ranks as the nation's leader in job growth.
Typical of many sun-belt cities with room to grow and few barriers to entry, it
is the suburbs that are expanding while the downtown suffers.  Again, it is the
residential and retail markets that are prospering, while the office markets are
uniformly soft (with over 25% vacancy rate in the CBD).  Recent major corporate
relations have taken the build-to-suit route.

   Miami/South Florida recorded the largest increase this quarter, jumping from
a rating of 5.1 in first-quarter 1993 to 5.9 this quarter.  Miami's strength
is its apartment sector which has very low vacancies and may be primed for new
construction in 1994.  Ironically, Hurricane Andrew has been a boon to Miami's
residential and retail markets and stirrings of new activity from Latin America
raise optimism on the office side.  Recent acts of random violence, which has
made national and international headlines, may dampen this area's
attractiveness.

   Denver and Phoenix continue to show a steady increase in ratings.  Both
markets have seen residential values rise as Southern Californian's bailout of
Los Angeles and surrounding areas.  In Denver, the apartment market is tight and
retailers are expanding.  The new airport will open during the next year, which
is seen as a positive for industrials.  In Phoenix, the industrial sector is
poised to benefit from the passage of the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA).
Further, Phoenix rates as one of the nation's hottest retail markets, buoyed by
younger babyboomer demographics.

   One city that has seen its rating decline during the past year is Seattle.
Boeing's announcement of widespread job cuts has led to uncertainty surrounding
this market.  The jetmarker's cutbacks have hurt office and residential over the
short-term.  Seattle's growing high-tech sector, led by Microsoft, remains a
plus.  Further, the industrial sector remains strong, due largely to its role as
a Pacific gateway.

   The larger cities, particularly New York and Los Angeles, continue to
languish at the bottom of the ratings, with near-term prospects not encouraging.

Growth rates

   Although our respondent's report more optimism, this has yet to be reflected
in their underwriting assumptions which remain firmly conservative.  For most
asset classes, rent increases are expected to be minimal--0% to 3%--over the
next one to three years, increasing 3% to 5% thereafter.  A 3% to 4% annual
average appears favored by most respondents.  Again, the exception to this
appears to be apartments
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and good quality retail, where demand remains relatively strong and growth rates
of 3% to 5% can be justified throughout the holding period.  Expense growth
rates typically mirror inflation expectations, ranging between 3% to 5%, with
many respondents betting on continued low inflation, in the 3% to 4% range.  The
typical holding period remains 10 years.

Renewal probability

   This quarter we asked our respondents to what renewal probabilities they
typically use in their own internal analyses.  Their responses are shown in
Table 6.  They range from a low of 51% of tenants renewing for CBD and suburban
office, to a high of 62% for regional malls.  Overall, the renewal probabilities
provided by the panel are conservative and go hand-in-hand with the other
underwriting assumptions used.

Summary

   As our respondents head into the year-end push, cautious optimism prevails.
Signs are that the bottom has been reached, capital is returning and that
sunnier skies are ahead.  Transaction activity will be watched closely over the
remainder of the year for confirmation of these trends.

DEFINITIONS:
YIELD (IRR)

Internal rate of return (IRR) is the rate of interest that discounts the pre-
income tax cash flows received by the equity investor(s) back to a present value
that is exactly equal to the amount of the original equity investment. It is in
effect a time-weighted average return on equity and as used here, is synonomous
with the term "yield."

GOING-IN CAP RATE

First-year NOI divided by present value (or purchase price), unless otherwise
noted.

RESIDUAL CAP RATE

Usually a capitalization rate used to estimate resale or reversion value at the
end of the holding period.

GROWTH RATE

Annual compounded rate of increase in revenue and expenses over current-year
levels. Further expenses are typically forecast on a line-by-line basis.

Dear Mr. Wright;

Pursuant to your authorization, an appraisal has been made of the 
above-captioned premises in order to estimate the Market Value, as of December 
20, 1995.  Market Value is defined within the report, which contains the 
collective data and analyses upon which our value estimate is concluded.

Trump Taj Mahal Realty Co. consists of various parcels of land (see enclosed) 
used in conjunction and operation of the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resorts in 
Atlantic City, New Jersey.  The property consists of a total 15.31+ Acres, which
include various parcel situated under the Taj Mahal main structure, the Steel 
Pier and the Virginia Avenue warehouse (lots 119 & 120).

Based upon the findings, it is our opinion that the Market Value, subject to the
assumptions and limiting conditions as set forth herein, as the value date,
December 20, 1995, is in the range of $80,180,000 (R) to $95,590,000 (R).

This letter and the collective data and analyses upon which our value estimate 
is concluded are integral parts of our findings and conclusions.


                                               Respectfully submitted,
