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 (the
"Plan") as of August 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the related statement
of changes in net assets applicable to participants' equity for the period from
January 1, 1999 through August 31, 1999. These financial statements and the
schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule 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 August 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the changes in its net
assets applicable to participants' equity for the period from January 1, 1999
through August 31, 1999, 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 schedule of reportable
transactions is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is 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 schedule 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
----------------------
Basis of Accounting
- -------------------
The accompanying financial statements of the Trump Marina 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 $43,000 for the
period ended August 31, 1999.
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.
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.
General
- -------
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.
<PAGE>
TRUMP MARINA HOTEL & CASINO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998
The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Plan Sponsor (the "Plan
Administrator").
Contributions
- -------------
Participants
------------
Non-highly compensated participants, as defined, are eligible to voluntarily
contribute to the Plan up to 20% of their 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
1999 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 August 31, 1999 or December 31, 1998.
Vesting
- -------
Voluntary contributions are fully vested at all times and are not subject to
forfeiture.
<PAGE>
TRUMP MARINA HOTEL & CASINO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998
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. For the period ended August 31, 1999, $30,070 was used to reduce
Plan Sponsor contributions. As of August 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, $3,787
and $82 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. 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.
3. INVESTMENTS

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.

Effective August 31, 1999, the Plan was merged into the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel &
Casino Savings Plan ( the "Taj Plan"). The Taj Plan was renamed the Trump

affect the future payment of benefits to the participants who are now members of
the Plan.
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 to his or her separate account.
