Trump AC, Trump AC Funding, Trump AC Funding II and Trump AC Funding III have no independent operations and, therefore, their ability to service debt is dependent upon the successful operations of Plaza Associates and Taj Associates. There are no restrictions on the ability of Plaza Associates and Taj Associates, the primary guarantors (the Subsidiary Guarantors) of the 11¼% First Mortgage Notes due 2006 issued by (i) Trump AC and Trump AC Funding, (ii) Trump AC and Trump AC Funding II and (iii) Trump AC and Trump AC Funding III (collectively, the Trump AC Mortgage Notes) to distribute funds to Trump AC in respect of the guaranteed debt.
The separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors have not been included because (i) the Subsidiary Guarantors constitute all of Trump ACs direct and indirect subsidiaries; (ii) the Subsidiary Guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Trump AC Mortgage Notes on a joint and several basis; (iii) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the Subsidiary Guarantors are substantially equivalent to the assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of Trump AC on a consolidated basis; and (iv) the separate financial and other disclosures concerning the Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed by management to be material. The assets and operations of the nonguarantor subsidiaries are not significant.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, have been made.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the SEC and available on the SECs website, www.sec.gov.
The casino industry in Atlantic City is seasonal in nature; therefore, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
(2) Other Assets

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncement
During 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 22, Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future. Accordingly, volume-based cash rebates of $21,913,000 and $60,711,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 have been reclassified as promotional allowances from gaming expenses.
During the third quarter of 2002, the Company reclassified additional costs (primarily bus coin) from gaming expenses to promotional allowances to be consistent with prevailing industry practice pursuant to EITF 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products) which totaled $4,795,000 and $5,220,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002 and $6,344,000 $6,125,000, and $6,592,000 for the three months ended, March 31, 2001 June 30, 2001, and September 30, 2001, respectively.
(5) Debt Renegotiation Costs
During the first quarter of 2002, Trump AC was seeking to refinance or modify the terms of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes which were approximately $1,300,000,000 aggregate principal amount as of September 30, 2002. Trump AC incurred approximately $1,570,000 in Debt Renegotiation Costs during this time period and has since terminated such efforts. Accordingly, the debt renegotiation costs have been expensed in the accompanying statements of operations. Trump AC may renew its efforts to refinance or modify the Trump AC Mortgage Notes at a later date if and when capital market conditions are favorable.

(6) Partnership Distribution
Pursuant to the indentures governing the Trump AC Mortgage Notes, Trump AC is permitted to reimburse THCR for its operating and interest expenses. These reimbursements are subject to limitations set forth in such indentures, including an annual limitation of $10,000,000 in operating expense reimbursements and a life-time limitation of $50,000,000 in interest expense reimbursements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Trump AC declared a non-cash partnership distribution to THCR of $101,341,000, consisting of $50,000,000 of prior years interest reimbursements and $51,341,000 of prior years operating expense reimbursements. Previously these amounts were presented as Advances to Affiliates on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2002, THCR is entitled to $5,872,000 of the $10,000,000 current year operating expense reimbursements.
(7) State of New Jersey Income Taxes
On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Tax Act (the Act). This Act, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction of a new Alternative Minimum Assessment amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Act is retroactive to January 1, 2002. As a result of the change in the tax law, Trump AC has recorded a charge to tax expense of $2,768,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which represents the cumulative tax due from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002. This charge was recorded beginning in the period in which the tax law was passed (third quarter) pursuant to the accounting literature in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 109, Accounting For Income Taxes.

Item 2-- | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL C ONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as may, will, expect, intend, estimate, anticipate, believe, plans, forecasts, continue or could or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include business, competition, regulatory and other uncertainties and contingencies discussed in this report that are difficult or impossible to predict and which are beyond our control. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this document. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend to update these statements unless the securities laws require us to do so.
In this section, the words Company, we, our, ours, and us refer to Trump Atlantic City Associates (Trump AC) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trump AC owns and operates the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (Trump Plaza) and the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (the Taj Mahal and together with Trump Plaza, the Trump AC Properties). Terms not defined in this section shall have the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
General
Our business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, some of which are discussed below.
The Company Has Substantial Indebtedness.
The Companys indebtedness consists primarily of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes. At September 30, 2002, the outstanding principal balance of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes was approximately $1.3 billion. Interest expense as a percentage of net revenues was 18.8% and 17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
The Company has previously announced that it may seek to refinance or modify the terms of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes. No transaction is imminent and there can be no assurances that a transaction will occur or be proposed in the future. The primary reason to refinance or modify the Trump AC Mortgage Notes would be to extend their May 2006 maturity date and to reduce the high levels of interest expense in order to devote more resources to capital expenditures at the Trump AC Properties. The Atlantic City market is very competitive and is anticipated to become more competitive in the future, especially when the Borgata opens in 2003 (as discussed below). Capital expenditures, such as room refurbishments, amenity upgrades and new gaming equipment, are necessary from time to time to preserve the competitiveness of the Trump AC Properties. Management believes that the Company must provide for capital expenditures to compete effectively. See Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The ability of Trump AC and its subsidiaries to pay interest on the Trump AC Mortgage Notes depends primarily on the ability of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal to generate sufficient amounts of cash from operations. Management believes that, based upon its current cash flow forecasts for 2002, Trump AC will have sufficient cash flows to meet its debt service and operating expense requirements throughout 2002 without a transaction. The future operating performance of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal is subject to general economic conditions, industry conditions, including competition and regulatory matters, and numerous other factors, many of which are unforeseeable or are beyond the control of management. There can be no assurance that the future operating performance of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal will be sufficient to generate the cash flows required to meet the debt service obligations of Trump Plaza, Taj Mahal or Trump AC. Also, the ability of the Company to pay the principal amount of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes at maturity (whether scheduled or by acceleration thereof) is primarily dependent upon its ability to obtain refinancing. There is also no assurance that the general state of the economy, the status of the capital markets generally, or the receptiveness of the capital markets to the gaming industry in general or to the Company in particular will be conducive to refinancing debt at any given time or on more favorable terms.
We Do Not Know How the Borgata, When Opened, Will Affect Us.
In September 2000, Boyd Gaming and MGM Mirage commenced their joint development of a 25-acre site located in the marina district of Atlantic City for the construction of the Borgata, a casino expected to feature a 40-story tower with 2,010 rooms and suites, as well as a 135,000 square-foot casino, restaurants, retail shops, a spa and pool, and entertainment venues. Construction of the Borgata is scheduled to be completed in the third or fourth quarter of 2003. While we believe that the
8
opening of the Borgata will attract additional visitors to Atlantic City, it is also possible that the Borgata could have an adverse effect on the business and operations of the Trump AC Properties. This potential adverse effect could include a reduction in net revenues caused by a loss of gaming patrons. Also, substantial new expansion and development activity has recently been completed, is under construction or has been announced in Atlantic City which further intensifies competitive pressure in the Atlantic City market and which could also have an adverse effect on our patronage and revenues. See Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources.
New York Has Enacted Gaming Legislation Which May Harm Our Trump Atlantic City Properties and Other States May Do So In The Future.
In October 2001, the New York State legislature passed extensive legislation that could adversely affect the Company. The legislation permits three new casinos in western New York, one in Niagara Falls, one in Buffalo and one on land owned by the Seneca Indian Nation, all of which would be owned by the Seneca Indian Nation. The legislation also permits up to three casinos in the Catskills in Ulster and Sullivan counties, also to be owned by Native Americans, which could open as early as mid-2005. In addition, slot machines would be allowed to be placed in Indian-owned casinos. Video lottery terminals would be installed in five horse racing tracks across the state of New York and, if local governments approve, at certain other tracks. Finally, the law provides for New York joining the Powerball lottery that operates in 26 states with large jackpots. The net effect of these facilities and other items, when operational, on Atlantic City cannot be predicted. The Company believes, however, that a substantial amount of existing and potential new gaming customers could patronize such facilities instead of Atlantic City, at least occasionally. On January 29, 2002, a lawsuit was commenced contesting the above legislation package on the grounds that certain of its provisions were adopted in violation of the States constitution. The likely outcome of this lawsuit cannot be ascertained at this time.
We also believe that Maryland and Virginia are among the other states currently contemplating some form of gaming legislation. In addition, several legislative proposals have been introduced in Pennsylvania that would potentially allow for a wide range of gaming activities, including riverboat gaming, slots at racetracks, video lottery terminals at liquor stores and the formation of a gaming commission. The results of the recent gubernatorial elections in Pennsylvania and Maryland may also increase the likelihood of gaming legislation in such states. Since our market is primarily a drive-to market, legalized gambling in one or more states neighboring or within close proximity to New Jersey could have a material adverse effect on the Atlantic City gaming industry overall, including THCR and the Trump AC Properties.
Our Business is Subject to a Variety of Other Risks and Uncertainties.
Our financial condition and results of operations could be affected by many events that are beyond our control, such as (i) capital market conditions which could affect our ability to raise capital for refinancing debt or pursuing other alternatives, (ii) future acts of terrorism and their impact on capital markets, the economy, consumer behavior and operating expenses, including insurance premiums, (iii) war, including the possible invasion of Iraq, (iv) competition from existing and potential new competitors in Atlantic City and other markets, which is likely to increase over the next five years, (v) regulatory changes, (vi) state tax law changes that increase the tax liability of the Company, (vii) possible increases in gasoline prices which could discourage auto travel to Atlantic City, and (viii) adverse weather conditions. Good weather is particularly important to the relative performance of our Trump AC Properties in the winter months and our improved performance in the first quarter of 2002 is partially attributable to mild weather conditions in the Northeast during such period.
In connection with insurance renewals subsequent to September 11, 2001, the availability of insurance coverage for certain types of damages or occurrences has been adversely affected. Consequently, the Company is self-insured for certain risks. The lack of insurance for certain types or levels of risk could expose us to significant losses in the event that an uninsured catastrophe occurred.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the SEC.

Financial Condition -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows from operating activities of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal are the Companys primary source of liquidity. To a lesser extent, the Company has relied on capital lease financing for its capital resource needs. The Companys ability to borrow funds for its liquidity needs is severely restricted by covenants in the indentures governing the Trump AC Mortgage Notes and by its already high levels of indebtedness. Sources of the Companys short-term and long-term liquidity include casino gaming revenues and room, food and beverage sales. Although we expect the Company to have sufficient liquidity from the operating activities of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal to meet its short-term obligations, there can be no assurances in this regard. A variety of factors, including a decrease or change in the demand for our services, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to service our debt obligations including the Trump AC Mortgage Notes.
Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal also compete with other Atlantic City casino/hotels based on the quality of customer service, the array of games offered, the attractiveness of a casino/hotel and the extent and quality of the facilities and amenities. Because of the high levels of interest expense related to the Trump AC Mortgage Notes, the Companys capital expenditures in recent years at Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal have been limited and have prohibited the Company from pursuing various capital expansion plans, such as the addition of more hotel rooms.
Capital expenditures at the Trump AC Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 are as follows:

(a) Capital lease additions for Trump AC were principally slot machines.
Pursuant to the indentures governing the Trump AC Mortgage Notes, Trump AC is permitted to reimburse THCR for its operating and interest expenses. These reimbursements are subject to limitations set forth in such indentures, including an annual limitation of $10.0 million in operating expense reimbursement and a life time limitation of $50.0 million in interest expense reimbursements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Trump AC declared a non-cash partnership distribution to THCR of $101.3 million, consisting of $50.0 million of prior years interest reimbursements and $51.3 million of prior years operating expense reimbursements. Previously these amounts were presented as Advances to Affiliates on the balance sheet.
On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Tax Act (the Act). This Act, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction of a new Alternative Minimum Assessment amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Act is retroactive to January 1, 2002. As a result of the change in the tax law, Trump AC has recorded a charge to tax expense of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which represents the cumulative tax due from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002. This charge was recorded beginning in the period in which the tax law was passed (third quarter) pursuant to the accounting literature in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 109, Accounting For Income Taxes.

Summary of the Companys Public Indebtedness
Trump AC Mortgage Notes. Trump ACs debt consists primarily of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes. The Trump AC Mortgage Notes have an outstanding principal balance of $1.3 billion, bear interest at the rate of 11¼% per annum, payable on May 1st and November 1st of each year, and mature on May 1, 2006. The Trump AC Mortgage Notes are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets of Trump Plaza and the Taj Mahal.

Gaming revenues are the primary source of Trump ACs revenues. The year over year increase in gaming revenues was primarily due to an increase in slot activity.
Table game revenues decreased by approximately $5,126,000, or 6.9%, from the comparable period in 2001 due primarily to a decrease in the table game win percentage at the Taj Mahal. Overall Trump ACs table win percentage decreased to 16.2% from 17.5% in the comparable period in 2001. Table game revenues represent the amount retained by Trump AC from amounts wagered at table games. The table win percentage tends to be fairly constant over the long term, but may vary significantly in the short term, due to large wagers by high rollers. The Atlantic City industry table win percentages were 16.1% and 15.5% for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Slot revenues increased by approximately $7,508,000, or 4.8%, from the comparable period in 2001 primarily as a result of improved slot product on the casino floor and managements continued focus on marketing initiatives and customer service.
Promotional Allowances decreased by approximately $6,342,000, or 10.0% from the comparable period in 2001 primarily as a result of decreases in cash complimentaries, coin and coupon expenses at the Taj Mahal.
General and Administrative costs and expenses increased by approximately $3,951,000, or 9.6%, from the comparable period in 2001. Expense increases at both the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza were primarily related to increased real estate taxes, insurance, entertainers and employee benefits expenses.
On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Tax Act (the Act). This Act, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction of a new Alternative Minimum Assessment amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Act is retroactive to January 1, 2002. As a result of the change in the tax law, Trump AC has recorded a charge to tax expense of $2,768,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which represents the cumulative tax due from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002. This charge was recorded beginning in the period in which the tax law was passed (third quarter) pursuant to the accounting literature in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 109, Accounting For Income Taxes.

Gaming revenues are the primary source of Trump ACs revenues. The year over year increase in gaming revenues was primarily due to an increase in slot activity.
Table game revenues decreased by approximately $6,491,000, or 3.2%, from the comparable period in 2001 due primarily to a decrease in table game drop at the Taj Mahal. Overall Trump ACs table win percentage decreased to 16.7% from 16.8% in the comparable period in 2001. Table game revenues represent the amount retained by Trump AC from amounts wagered at table games. The table win percentage tends to be fairly constant over the long term, but may vary significantly in the short term, due to large wagers by high rollers. The Atlantic City industry table win percentages were 15.6% and 15.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Slot revenues increased by approximately $24,209,000, or 5.6%, from the comparable period in 2001 primarily as a result of improved slot product on the casino floor, managements continued focus on marketing initiatives and customer service as well as favorable weather conditions during the first quarter of 2002.
Promotional Allowances decreased by approximately $9,070,000, or 5.2% from the comparable period in 2001as a result of decreased cash complimentaries at the Taj Mahal and decreased food and beverage complimentaries at the Trump Plaza.
Gaming costs and expenses decreased by approximately $8,357,000, or 2.8%, from the comparable period in 2001. Expense decreases at both the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza were primarily related to decreased payroll expense and more efficient marketing programs.
General and Administrative costs and expenses increased by approximately $3,632,000, or 2.9% from the comparable period in 2001 primarily as a result of increased real estate taxes, insurance, entertainers and employee benefits partially offset by decreases in legal fees and utilities expenses at both the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza.
14
As previously reported during the first quarter of 2002, Trump AC was seeking to refinance or modify the terms of the Trump AC Mortgage Notes which were approximately $1,300,000,000 aggregate principal amount as of September 30, 2002. In connection with such efforts, Trump AC has incurred approximately $1,570,000 in debt renegotiation costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Trump AC has since terminated such efforts but intends to revisit the capital markets at a later time if and when more favorable market conditions exist. See General - The Company Has Substantial Indebtedness.
On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Tax Act (the Act). This Act, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction of a new Alternative Minimum Assessment amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Act is retroactive to January 1, 2002. As a result of the change in the tax law, Trump AC has recorded a charge to tax expense of $2,768,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which represents the cumulative tax due from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002. This charge was recorded beginning in the period in which the tax law was passed (third quarter) pursuant to the accounting literature in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 109, Accounting For Income Taxes.
Seasonality
The casino industry in Atlantic City is seasonal in nature with the peak season occurring in the second and third quarters. Accordingly, the results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
ITEM 3 -- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4 -- CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
(a) |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Registrants principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrants in reports that they file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
Changes in Internal Controls. There were no specific changes in the Registrants internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. |
15
General. Trump AC, its partners, certain members of its former executive committee, and certain of its employees, have been involved in various legal proceedings. Such persons and entities are vigorously defending the allegations against them. In general, Trump AC has agreed to indemnify such persons against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) and liabilities (including amounts paid or incurred in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties) incurred by them in said legal proceedings.
Various legal proceedings are now pending against Trump AC. Trump AC considers all such proceedings to be ordinary litigation incident to the character of its business. Trump AC believes that the resolution of these claims, to the extent not covered by insurance, will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of Trump AC.
