                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                    ----------------------------------------


To the Benefits Committee of the

           Trump Marina Hotel & Casino Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets applicable to
participants' equity of the Trump Marina Hotel & Casino Savings Plan (formerly
Trump Castle Hotel & Casino Savings Plan) (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets applicable to
participants' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial
statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets applicable to participants' equity of the
Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets
applicable to participants' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statements of net assets applicable to participants' equity and the statement of
changes in net assets applicable to participants' equity is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets applicable
to participants' equity and the changes in net assets applicable to
participants' equity of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                    TRUMP MARINA HOTEL & CASINO SAVINGS PLAN
                    ----------------------------------------

              (formerly Trump Castle Hotel & Casino Savings Plan)
              ---------------------------------------------------


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------



(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
      ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
      ----------------------

       Basis of Accounting-
       --------------------

        The accompanying financial statements of the Trump Marina Hotel & Casino
        Savings Plan (formerly Trump Hotel & Casino Savings Plan) (the "Plan")
        have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

       Plan Expenses-
       --------------

        Expenses related to the administration of the Plan have been paid by
        Trump Castle Associates, L.P. (the "Plan Sponsor"). These costs
        represent trustee fees and professional services and amounted to
        approximately $32,000 in 1998.

       Investments-
       ------------

        The investments included in the statements of net assets applicable to
        participants' equity are stated at market value. Market value, which is
        equivalent to current value, is the unit valuation of the security at
        the plan year-end as determined by Merrill Lynch Trust Company, the
        trustee of the Plan (the "Trustee"). Accounting records are maintained
        on the accrual basis, investment transactions are recorded on the trade
        date basis and gains and losses are calculated based upon an aggregate
        participant cost that is maintained on an average unit cost basis.

       Use of Estimates-
       -----------------

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets and disclosure
        of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
        statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
        reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       Reclassifications-
       ------------------

        Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial
        statements to conform to the current year presentation.

(2)   PLAN DESCRIPTION:
      -----------------

        The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
        Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
        description of the Plan's provisions.

       --------

        The Plan is a 401(k) Savings Plan, which was established by the Plan
        Sponsor and became effective on September 1, 1986. All full or part-time
        non-union employees become eligible for participation in the Plan on the
        enrollment date immediately following the completion of 12 months of
        service and the attainment of age 18.

        The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Plan Sponsor
        (the "Plan Administrator"). Merrill Lynch Trust Company was appointed as
        the trustee of the Plan by the Plan Administrator.

       Contributions-
       --------------

        Participants-
        -------------

         Non-highly compensated participants, as defined, are eligible to
         voluntarily contribute to the Plan up to 15% of their annual
         compensation (effective January 1, 1999, 20% of annual compensation),
         as defined. Highly compensated participants, as defined, are eligible
         to voluntarily contribute to the Plan up to 7% of their annual
         compensation, as defined. Tax deferred contributions are subject to a
         limit by the Internal Revenue Code. The 1998 limit was $10,000 per
         participant. Contributions to the Plan are invested by the Trustee, as
         designated by the participant, in increments of 5%.

        Plan Sponsor-
        -------------

         The Plan Sponsor contributes to the Plan 50% of each participant's
         contributions, not to exceed 3% of the participant's annual
         compensation, as defined.

        Participant Rollovers-
        ----------------------

         The Plan permits eligible participants, as defined, to rollover cash or
         other property acceptable to the Plan Administrator from another
         qualified plan in addition to qualified voluntary participant
         contributions.

        Distributions to Participants-
        ------------------------------

         Each participant has a fully vested interest in the amount of his or
         her contributions together with the allocable Plan earnings.
         Contributions from the Plan Sponsor vest based on the vesting schedule
         described below. The full value of the participant's vested interest in
         his or her account in the Plan will be distributed upon termination of
         the participant's employment. The normal form of payment is by lump
         sum; however, if a participant's vested benefit from all contributions
         exceeds $5,000, a participant has the right to receive payment in equal
         periodic monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments over a
         period not to exceed ten years.

         A participant may also withdraw all or part of his or her account upon
         attainment of age 59-1/2 or financial hardship, as defined in the Plan.

         Upon termination of employment prior to eligibility for retirement, a
         participant is eligible to receive the vested balance in his or her
         account. There were no payments due to participants who have requested
         to withdraw their funds prior to December 31, 1998 or 1997.

        Vesting-
        --------

         Voluntary contributions are fully vested at all times and are not
         subject to forfeiture.

         The Plan Sponsor's contributions vest based upon the participant's
         years of continuous service as follows-

           Years of Continuous Service                Percentage Vested
           ---------------------------              ---------------------

              Less than two years                             0%
              Two years                                      25%
              Three years                                    50%
              Four years                                     75%
              Five years or more                            100%

        Forfeitures-
        ------------

         The portion of a former participant's account which is not distributed
         because of the vesting provision will reduce the amount of the Plan
         Sponsor's future contributions. During 1998, $62,939 was used to reduce
         Plan Sponsor contributions. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, $82 and
         $47 were available to reduce future Plan Sponsor contributions,
         respectively.

        Loans-
        ------

         The Plan permits participants to borrow from their accounts at terms
         established by the Plan Administrator. Participants may borrow up to
         the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance for
         specific reasons, as defined by the Plan. Each loan is secured by the
         borrower's vested interest in the Plan and is subject to other
         requirements, as defined. Interest on loans is charged at a rate that
         is comparable to similar loans made by commercial lenders. Loans
         outstanding as of December 31, 1998 had interest rates ranging from
         8.75% to 9.50%. Loan repayment terms range up to five years (fifteen
         years if the loan was used to purchase a primary residence). A small
         administrative fee is required to process all loans.

(4)   TAX STATUS:
      -----------

       The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on August 18, 1994,
       which covered all amendments through January 1, 1993, in which the
       Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in
       compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
       The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
       However, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently
       designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
       requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, they believe that
       the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of the
       financial statement date.

(5)   PLAN TERMINATION:
      -----------------

       While the Plan Sponsor has not expressed any intent to terminate the
       Plan, the Plan Sponsor may do so at any time subject to the provisions of
       the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In the event of
       termination, each participant is entitled to the value of his or her
       separate account.
