TABLE OF CONTENTS

i

PART I

In this Report, “TER” means Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The words the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms collectively refer to TER and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, but not limited to, Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership of which TER is the sole general partner and an indirect limited partner (“TER Holdings”), and Trump Entertainment Resorts Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by TER Holdings (“TER Funding”).

We are the successors to Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in 1995 (“THCR”), and its subsidiaries.

The Company

General. We own and operate three casino hotel properties in Atlantic City, New Jersey: Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (“Trump Taj Mahal”), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (“Trump Plaza”), and Trump Marina Hotel Casino (“Trump Marina”). Our company is the sole vehicle through which Donald J. Trump, the Chairman of our board of directors (the “Board”) and our largest individual stockholder, conducts gaming activities and strives to provide customers with outstanding casino resort and entertainment experiences consistent with the Donald J. Trump standard of excellence. Our company is separate and distinct from Mr. Trump’s real estate and other holdings.

The following is a summary of our casino properties at December 31, 2007:

Emergence from Bankruptcy. On May 20, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), we emerged from reorganization proceedings voluntarily commenced by THCR and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) on November 21, 2004 under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, all material conditions to our plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) were satisfied, and we recapitalized and renamed our company, “Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc.,” merged and/or dissolved certain of THCR’s subsidiaries, consolidated our indebtedness and substantially reduced our debt service requirements. For a more comprehensive overview of the reorganization, see “Emergence from Bankruptcy” below.

Sale of Trump Indiana. In December 2005, we sold one of our subsidiaries, Trump Indiana, Inc., through which we owned and operated Trump Casino Hotel, a riverboat casino and hotel at Buffington Harbor, in Gary, Indiana (“Trump Indiana”) for a gross purchase price of $253 million, subject to certain adjustments. The sale resulted in approximately $228 million in net proceeds to us after accounting for certain taxes, fees and other closing costs and expenses incurred in conjunction with the sale. The sale also included our 50% interest in all common land-based and waterside operations in support of Trump Indiana, including our interests in a parking garage at the site.

Our consolidated financial statements included in this Report reflect Trump Indiana as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Business and Marketing Strategy

Atlantic City is currently undergoing an evolution from a primarily day-trip market to a resort destination, primarily as a result of the recent expansion of competition in the regional gaming marketplace.

Two years ago, as we anticipated this shift in our market, we set forth on a strategic plan and have since focused on several key areas of our business to establish ourselves as a marketplace leader in the Atlantic City of the future.

We have targeted several initiatives that we believe will enhance our ongoing efforts to retain existing customers, increase trip frequency and acquire new customers. They are:

2

Furthermore, we believe that our brand name has and will continue to provide benefits in our customer retention and acquisition efforts, as well as the possible expansion of our company both within and outside of the Atlantic City market. For a discussion of our Trademark License Agreement and Trademark Security Agreement, see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, we have developable land at each of our casino properties, including:

Casino Properties

Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. Trump Taj Mahal, located on the northern end of Atlantic City’s boardwalk (the “Boardwalk”), is located on 39.4 acres and features 1,250 hotel rooms, including 240 suites, 14 dining locations, 5 cocktail lounges, and approximately 140,000 square feet of ballroom, meeting room and pre-function area space. The property also features approximately 158,500 square feet of gaming space that includes approximately 175 table games (including poker tables), approximately 3,515 slot machines, an approximately 12,000 square-foot Poker, Keno and Race Simulcasting room and an Asian-themed table game area offering popular Asian table games. Trump Taj Mahal also features the following: an approximately 20,000 square foot multi-purpose entertainment complex known as the “Xanadu Theater,” with seating capacity for up to approximately 1,200 people, which can be used as a theater, concert hall, boxing arena or exhibition hall; the Casbah nightclub; the Mark G. Etess Arena, featuring approximately 63,000 square feet of exhibition and entertainment space which can accommodate over 5,000 people; and a health club, spa and fitness center with an indoor pool. Trump Taj Mahal also has a parking garage for approximately 6,950 cars, a 6 bay bus terminal and a roof-top helipad.

Trump Taj Mahal is currently constructing a new 782-room, $255 million hotel tower which is expected to open in phases beginning with approximately 400 rooms in September 2008, with the remainder by the end of 2008. The new tower is planned to feature 708 standard guest rooms, 74 suites and several meeting rooms.

As a result of our facility innovation initiative, recent additions and refurbishments to Trump Taj Mahal include: the renovation of the majority of the casino floor; renovation of the hotel lobby; a new high limit gaming salon; a new, 10,000 square foot entertainment lounge and bar on the casino floor; a new Asian gaming pit; the renovation of each of the hotel’s standard hotel rooms and suites; the addition of The Penthouse Suites, seven new

3

luxurious penthouse suites; the completion of Spice Road, a new retail and dining promenade; and the addition of a new noodle bar. Additionally, we plan to open a new Italian restaurant, Il Mulino New York, in 2008.

Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. Trump Plaza is located at the center of the Boardwalk at the end of the Atlantic City Expressway (the main highway into the city) covering 10.9 acres with direct access to Boardwalk Hall (an entertainment and sporting venue owned and operated by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority that can accommodate up to approximately 13,000 people). Trump Plaza features approximately 900 hotel rooms, including approximately 140 suites, approximately 96,000 square feet of casino space with approximately 2,140 slot machines and approximately 80 table games. Amenities include approximately 18,000 square feet of conference space, an approximately 750-seat cabaret theater, two cocktail lounges, seven restaurants, a player club, health spa, an indoor pool, a seasonal beach bar and restaurant and retail outlets. Trump Plaza’s parking garage can accommodate 13 buses and approximately 2,700 cars.

As a result of our facility innovation initiative, recent additions and refurbishments to Trump Plaza include: the complete renovation of the casino floor; the addition of a new casual dining restaurant and cocktail lounge; the renovation of the transportation center leading from the parking garage to the casino; and the renovation of each standard hotel room and penthouse suite.

Trump Marina Hotel Casino. Trump Marina covers approximately 14 acres in Atlantic City’s marina district, overlooks the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina and features a 27-story hotel with 728 guest rooms, including 153 suites, 97 of which are luxury suites. The casino offers approximately 79,000 square feet of gaming space, approximately 1,950 slot machines, approximately 70 table games and approximately 58,000 square feet of convention, ballroom and meeting space. Trump Marina also features an approximately 540-seat cabaret-style theater, a nightclub, four retail outlets, five restaurants, a cocktail lounge, and a recreation deck with a health spa, outdoor pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, jogging track and a pool side snack bar. To facilitate access to the property, Trump Marina has a nine-story parking garage capable of accommodating approximately 3,000 cars. Trump Marina also has an 11 bay bus terminal and a roof-top helipad.

As a result of our facility innovation initiative, recent additions and refurbishments to Trump Marina include: the renovation of the high limit table games area; the renovation of the high limit slot area; the renovation of several gourmet restaurants; the renovation of each standard hotel room and suite; the construction of a new VIP check-in area; and the renovation of the property’s spa facility.

Competition

Atlantic City Market. The Atlantic City market primarily serves the New York-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington, D.C. corridor with nearly 30 million adults living within a three-hour driving radius. The Atlantic City market is the second largest gaming market in the United States, after Las Vegas. In 2007, the casinos in the Atlantic City market generated $4.9 billion in casino revenue. Our three casinos combined have approximately 21% of the gaming positions and 20% of the hotel rooms in the Atlantic City market and generate approximately 21% of the market gaming revenue.

Competition in Atlantic City is intense and is increasing. At the present time, the 11 casino hotels located in Atlantic City, including our three properties, compete with each other on the basis of customer service, quality and extent of amenities and promotional offers. For this reason, we and our competitors require substantial capital expenditures to compete effectively. In the past few years, our existing competitors in Atlantic City and new entrants to the Atlantic City market have announced or completed new development and expansion projects.

Recently announced or completed projects in Atlantic City include the following:

The Borgata Casino Hotel & Spa is currently constructing its second phase expansion project, The Water Club, which is expected to begin opening in mid-2008, which will include a new 800-room hotel tower, a spa, retail shops and meeting space.

4

Harrah’s Atlantic City nears completion of the construction of a major expansion project which is expected to include approximately 172,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space, a spa which opened in 2007 and an approximate 965 room hotel tower which opened in 2008.

Pinnacle Entertainment acquired and closed the Sands casino during late 2006 and has demolished the property and plans to build a new casino resort property. If completed, this project is anticipated to open sometime after 2010. Pinnacle recently announced it was reviewing this project’s timing and feasibility in light of current credit market conditions.

Revel Entertainment Group has begun redeveloping a 20-acre, oceanfront site next to the Showboat Casino Hotel. Revel has announced that it plans to construct an approximate $2 billion megaresort which it expects to open in late 2010. While Revel has obtained interim financing allowing it to commence certain work at the site, it has not yet received financing for its complete project.

MGM Mirage recently announced that it plans to construct an estimated $5 billion, 3,000-room megaresort that if built, would be situated in the marina district on an approximate 70-acre parcel of land between Harrah’s Atlantic City and Borgata Casino Hotel & Spa. MGM expects to break ground late in 2008 and has filed for a Coastal Area Facility Review Act permit.

In addition, we believe that there are several other sites on the Boardwalk, in the marina district and possibly at Bader Field, a former airport located in Atlantic City, if that area is zoned for gaming, where casino hotels could be built in the future. Recently, Penn National Gaming proposed to acquire the Bader Field parcel of land from the City of Atlantic City. Additionally, various applications for casino licenses have been filed and announcements with respect thereto have been made from time to time in these areas. Future developments and expansions could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

We cannot ascertain at this time the effects that any of the above-mentioned new projects could have on the Atlantic City gaming market. However, the added strength of these competitors and resulting economies-of-scale could diminish our market share in the market in which we compete.

Pennsylvania. In July 2004, the Pennsylvania legislature enacted the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act which authorizes the Control Board to permit a total of up to 61,000 slot machines in up to fourteen different licensed locations in Pennsylvania, seven at racetracks (each with up to 5,000 slot machines), five at slot parlors (two in Philadelphia, one in Pittsburgh and two elsewhere, each with up to 5,000 slot machines) and two at established resorts (each with up to 500 slot machines). Three of the racetrack sites, Pocono Downs, Philadelphia Park and Chester Downs and three slot parlors, two in Philadelphia and one in Bethlehem, are located in our market area. Slot machine operations commenced in late 2006 at the racetracks and, as of early 2008, approximately 9,000 slot machines were operating at these locations. The two Philadelphia slot parlors continue to experience delays in receiving the necessary approvals to commence construction. Competition from the Pennsylvania area slot machine facilities has adversely impacted Atlantic City casinos, including our casinos.

New York. Pursuant to legislation enacted in 2001, the Division of the Lottery of the State of New York is authorized to permit the installation of video lottery terminals (“VLTs”) at various horse racing facilities in New York. During 2004, VLT operations commenced at four upstate and western New York racetracks and at a racetrack in Sullivan County, which operates 1,500 VLTs and is considerably closer (approximately 95 miles) to Manhattan. The VLT facility at Yonkers Raceway opened in late 2006 and now operates 5,500 VLTs. The State government intends to select an operator for a proposed 4,500 VLT facility at Aqueduct Racetrack which could open to the public during the State’s 2009-2010 fiscal year. These locations are less than fifteen miles from Manhattan. The 2001 legislation also authorized the Governor of New York to negotiate compacts authorizing the operation of up to six Native American casino facilities including slot machine gaming. A compact negotiated in 2002 authorized three such facilities located in the western part of New York and outside of our primary market area. The remaining three Native American casinos, if developed, are required by law to be

5

located in either Sullivan County or Ulster County, adjoining counties approximately 100 miles northwest of Manhattan. Competition from the VLT facilities at Aqueduct and Yonkers and from potential Native American casinos as may be authorized and operated in Sullivan or Ulster County could adversely impact Atlantic City casinos, including our casinos.

Meadowlands Racino. In April 2004, the Atlantic City casinos executed an agreement with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) which owns and operates two of the four New Jersey horse race tracks, including the Meadowlands race track. The agreement provides that substantial annual payments by the casinos to the NJSEA in each of 2004 through 2008 to subsidize horse racing would establish a moratorium on the conduct of casino gaming, including video lottery terminals (“VLTs”) at any New Jersey race track until January 2009.

Bills are presently pending in the New Jersey State and Assembly which, if enacted, would permit the State Lottery Commission to authorize the operation of up to 5,000 VLTs at or adjacent to the Meadowlands race track. The Meadowlands is located approximately 125 miles north of Atlantic City and less than ten miles from midtown Manhattan.

The eleven casinos presently operating in Atlantic City are now negotiating with representatives of New Jersey state government to obtain a further moratorium on the conduct of casino gaming at New Jersey race tracks in exchange for further subsidy payments to the NJSEA.

Native American Tribes. Our properties also face considerable competition from casino facilities operated by federally recognized Native American tribes, such as Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut and Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut. Both of these properties are currently undertaking announced expansion projects. Pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (the “IGRA”), which was passed by Congress in 1988, any state that permits casino-style gaming, even if only for limited charity purposes, is required to negotiate gaming compacts with federally recognized Native American tribes. Under the IGRA, Native American tribes enjoy comparative freedom from regulation and taxation of gaming operations, which provides them with an advantage over their competitors, including our properties.

In addition, Native American nations have sought or are seeking federal recognition, land and gaming compacts in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and other states near Atlantic City. If successful, additional casinos built in or near this portion of the United States could have a material adverse effect on the business and operations of our properties.

There could be further competition in our markets as a result of the upgrading or expansion of facilities by existing market participants, the entrance of new gaming participants into a market or legislative changes. We expect each market in which we participate, both current and prospective, to be highly competitive.

Regulatory and Licensing

Gaming Regulation. The gaming industry is highly regulated, and we must maintain our casino licenses and pay gaming taxes to continue our gaming operations. Each of our casinos is subject to extensive regulation under the statutes and regulations of the State of New Jersey. Also, since February 2004, we have been a registered publicly traded corporation with the Nevada Gaming Control Board (the “NGCB”) under the Nevada Gaming Control Act and are subject to the licensing and regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the NGCB and the Clark County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board. These statutes and regulations generally concern the financial stability of the casino licensee, the good character of the owners, managers and employees and of other persons with financial interests in the gaming operations (including those with certain ownership levels of a casino licensee’s securities) and the procedures and controls which govern those gaming operations. A more detailed description of New Jersey and Nevada laws and regulations to which we are subject is contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated by reference herein. Gaming operations that we may undertake in the future in other jurisdictions will also subject us and such operations to regulations by such other jurisdictions.

6

Other Regulation. In addition to gaming regulations, our business is subject to various other federal, state and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to, restrictions and conditions concerning taxation, treasury regulations, building code and land use requirements, environmental matters and local licenses and permits. United States Department of Treasury (“DOT”) regulations require casinos to report currency transactions involving more than $10,000 per patron per gaming day. Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network regulations further require casinos to report certain gaming patron transactions involving suspicious activity. We have established internal control procedures to comply with these DOT regulations, including: (i) computer exception reporting; (ii) review of currency and suspicious activity transactions and reporting by committees comprised of casino operations, marketing and administration executives; (iii) internal audit testing of DOT regulation compliance; (iv) training employees to comply with DOT regulations; and (v) a disciplinary program for employee violations. Pursuant to the provisions of the Casino Control Act, we must either obtain investment tax credits in an amount equivalent to 1.25% of our gross casino revenues, as defined in the Casino Control Act, or pay an alternative tax of 2.5% of our gross casino revenues. Investment tax credits may be obtained by making qualified investments, or by depositing funds which may be converted to bonds by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (“CRDA”). Certain of our subsidiaries are required to make quarterly deposits with the CRDA to satisfy their investment obligations.

We believe that all required licenses, permits and other approvals necessary to conduct our business have been obtained for our operations in the State of New Jersey and elsewhere. Material changes in these laws or regulations or in the interpretation of the same by courts or administrative agencies could adversely affect our company, including its operating results.

Partial Smoking Ban. On January 9, 2006, the New Jersey Legislature adopted the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act, which was effective on April 15, 2006. The law prohibits the smoking of tobacco in structurally enclosed indoor public places and workplaces in New Jersey, including licensed casino hotels. The law permits smoking within the perimeter of casino and casino simulcasting areas, and permits 20% of hotel guest rooms to be designated as smoking rooms.

In February 2007, Atlantic City’s city council adopted an ordinance which extended the smoking ban to casino and casino simulcasting areas effective April 15, 2007. Under the ordinance, casinos may, with certain conditions, permit smoking in up to 25% of these gaming areas and shall, during a phase-in period, construct a separated exhausted enclosure of each such smoking area. We believe that these bans on smoking indoor public places and for casino and casino simulcasting areas have adversely affected the Atlantic City casinos, including our casinos.

In addition, bills are pending in the New Jersey Senate and Assembly which, if enacted, would repeal the gaming area exemption from the smoking ban provided for in the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act. This proposed ban on smoking in the casino and casino simulcasting areas could adversely affect the Atlantic City casinos, including our casinos.

CAFRA Agreement—Trump Taj Mahal received a permit under the Coastal Area Facilities Review Act (“CAFRA”) (which is included as a condition of the Trump Taj Mahal’s casino license) that initially required Trump Taj Mahal to begin construction of certain improvements on the Steel Pier by October 1992, which improvements were to be completed within 18 months of the commencement of construction. Trump Taj Mahal initially proposed a concept to improve the Steel Pier, the estimated cost of which was $30 million. Such concept was approved by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the agency which administers CAFRA. In March 1993, Taj Associates, one of our Predecessor Company’s former subsidiaries, obtained a modification of its CAFRA permit providing for an extension of the required commencement and completion dates of the improvements to the Steel Pier for one year, which has been renewed annually, based upon an interim use of the Steel Pier as an amusement park. The pier sublease, pursuant to which Trump Taj Mahal leases the Steel Pier to an amusement park operator, terminates on December 31, 2008. The conditions of the CAFRA permit renewal thereafter are under discussion with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

Number of Employees. The table below sets forth the approximate number of our full-time equivalent employees working at our properties as of December 31, 2007:

Collective Bargaining Agreements. Certain of our casino hotel employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. Approximately 2,961 of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Local 54, UNITE-HEREIU (Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union) which was effective September 15, 2004 and is set to expire on September 14, 2009. Approximately 207 of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 68 which was effective May 1, 2001 and expires on April 30, 2010. Approximately 75 of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 623 which was effective May 1, 2001 and expires on April 30, 2010. Approximately 24 of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades, District Council 711 which was effective May 1, 2001 and expires on April 30, 2010. Approximately 31 of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 917 which was effective July 1, 2001 and expires on June 30, 2010. Approximately 10 of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 331 which was effective March 1, 2005 and expires on March 31, 2008. A certification election requesting representation by the United Auto Workers for dealers at Trump Plaza occurred on March 31, 2007. The majority of dealers elected to be represented by the United Auto Workers. Objections were filed by the Company contesting the outcome of the election. The objections are currently being considered by the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, D.C. and the election results have yet to be certified. A certification election requesting representation by the United Auto Workers for dealers at Trump Marina was held on May 11, 2007. The majority of dealers elected not to be represented by the United Auto Workers. United Auto Workers has filed objections to the election and the case is being reviewed by the National Labor Relations Board in the Philadelphia region. We believe that we have established productive and professional relationships with all of our collective bargaining partners as well as our represented and unrepresented employees.

Licensing Requirements. Certain of our employees are required to be licensed by, or registered with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, depending upon the nature of their employment. Casino employees are subject to more stringent licensing requirements than non-casino employees, and are required to meet applicable standards pertaining to such matters as financial responsibility, good character, ability, casino training, experience and in-state residency. These regulations have resulted in significant competition for eligible employees.

Seasonality

Our cash flows from operating activities are seasonal in nature. Spring and summer are traditionally the peak seasons for our properties, with autumn and winter being non-peak seasons. Consequently, our operating results for the two quarters ending in March and December are not historically as profitable as the two quarters ending in June and September. Any excess cash flow achieved from operations during peak seasons is used to subsidize non-peak seasons. Performance in non-peak seasons is usually dependent on favorable weather and a long-weekend holiday calendar. In the event that we are unable to generate excess cash flows in one or more peak seasons, we may not be able to subsidize non-peak seasons, if necessary.

Emergence from Bankruptcy

On April 5, 2005, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey entered an order confirming the Plan, which became effective on May 20, 2005 (the “Effective Date”). Upon effectiveness, all material conditions to the Plan were satisfied and the Debtors emerged from chapter 11 (the “Reorganized Company”). Pursuant to the Plan, we recapitalized and renamed our company, merged and/or dissolved certain of our subsidiaries, consolidated our indebtedness and substantially reduced our debt service requirements.

As part of the Plan, our capital structure changed significantly. We implemented a 1,000 for 1 reverse stock split of THCR’s common stock (“THCR Common Stock”) such that each 1,000 shares of THCR Common Stock immediately prior to the reverse stock split were consolidated into one share of common stock of TER (“TER Common Stock”), resulting in the distribution of approximately 19,944 shares of TER Common Stock (approximately 0.05% on a fully diluted basis for holders other than Mr. Trump), in aggregate, to holders of THCR Common Stock. Holders of THCR Common Stock received approximately $0.88 for each share of THCR Common Stock beneficially owned by each holder and also obtained a pro rata share of the net proceeds from the sale of the former World’s Fair site in Atlantic City, which was sold at auction for a purchase price of $25.15 million in September 2005. All options to acquire THCR Common Stock were cancelled, and holders (other than Mr. Trump) of THCR Common Stock also received Class A Warrants to purchase up to approximately 2,207,260 shares of TER Common Stock (approximately 5.34% on a fully diluted basis) and an aggregate of $17.5 million in cash. The Class A Warrants were either exercised by or converted to shares under the Plan on May 22, 2006.

On the Effective Date, TER Holdings and TER Funding issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Senior Notes”) in connection with the Plan. In addition, we implemented a debt restructuring whereby pro-rata distributions of cash, Senior Notes, or TER Common Stock were made to:

We also entered into a $500 million secured credit facility (the “2005 Credit Facility”) on the Effective Date with a syndicate of bank lenders. Proceeds from the 2005 Credit Facility were used to repay up to $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing that the Debtors had obtained on November 22, 2004 during the chapter 11 cases.

Our business is subject to a number of risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this annual report. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of TER securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We remain highly leveraged and our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Although we have consolidated our long-term indebtedness and reduced our debt service obligations through our reorganization, we remain a highly-leveraged company. Our aggregate long-term indebtedness totaled approximately $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2007. TER is a holding company and TER Holdings conducts substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to meet our debt service obligations, including debt service obligations on the Senior Notes and the new secured credit facility we

9

obtained on December 21, 2007 (the “2007 Credit Facility”), substantially depends on our properties’ ability to generate sufficient cash flow. This ability is, however, subject to, among other things, general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that may be unforeseeable and/or beyond our control. This risk is highlighted by the fact that all of our current operations are all in one market and any downturn in the Atlantic City market or any region from which we draw patrons may adversely impact our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition.

In the event any of these risks materialize, we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.

We need to increase capital expenditures to compete effectively and the terms of our indebtedness restrict our operating flexibility.

The gaming industry market is highly competitive and is expected to become more competitive in the future. Many of our existing competitors in Atlantic City have recently completed or announced significant development projects. In addition, new entrants to the Atlantic City market have announced plans to develop casinos in the future. Capital expenditures, such as room refurbishments, amenity upgrades and new gaming equipment, are necessary from time to time to enhance the competitiveness of our properties. While we have formulated and have begun to implement a strategic capital expenditure plan at each of our properties, including the construction of a hotel tower at Trump Taj Mahal which commenced in June 2006, the Senior Notes and the 2007 Credit Facility limit our ability to:

Should any new projects fail to generate projected cash flows, our operating performance, revenues and earnings may be materially adversely affected. Any failure to comply with any of these obligations could result in an event of default under the Senior Notes and our 2007 Credit Facility which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the Senior Notes and amounts due under our 2007 Credit Facility then outstanding.

Our capital improvements are susceptible to delays, cost overages, business interruptions and other uncertainties, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have announced a series of capital improvements for all three of our properties, including the construction of a 782-room hotel tower at Trump Taj Mahal which commenced in June 2006. Such development and capital improvement projects are susceptible to various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to the following:

10

Any failure or delay to complete any new development or expansion project as planned, within budget or in a manner that generates anticipated revenue, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Gaming is a regulated industry and changes in the law could have a material adverse effect on our operations. See “Business—Regulatory and Licensing.”.

Gaming in New Jersey is regulated extensively by federal and state regulatory bodies, including the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and state and federal taxing, law enforcement and liquor control agencies. We and several of our officers and other qualifiers have received the licenses, permits and authorizations required to operate our properties. Failure to maintain or obtain the requisite casino licenses would have a material adverse effect on our business.

During June 2007, the Casino Control Commission renewed our licenses to operate Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza and Trump Marina until June 2012.

If new gaming regulations are adopted in the jurisdictions in which we operate, such regulations could impose restrictions or costs that could have a significant adverse effect on us. From time to time, various proposals have been introduced by the legislature of New Jersey that, if enacted, could adversely affect the tax, regulatory, operations or other aspects of the gaming industry and our financial performance. Legislation of this type may be enacted in the future.

Pennsylvania and New York have enacted gaming legislation that may harm us, and other states may do so in the future.

In 2004, the Pennsylvania legislature enacted the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act which authorizes the Control Board to permit a total of up to 61,000 slot machines in up to fourteen different licensed locations in Pennsylvania, seven at racetracks (each with up to 5,000 slot machines), five at slot parlors (two in Philadelphia, one in Pittsburgh and two elsewhere, each with up to 5,000 slot machines) and two at established resorts (each with up to 500 slot machines). Three of the racetrack sites, Pocono Downs, Philadelphia Park and Chester Downs and three slot parlors, two in Philadelphia and one in Bethlehem, are located in our market area. Slot machine operations commenced in late 2006 at the racetracks and, as of early 2008, approximately 9,000 slot machines were operating at these locations. The two Philadelphia slot parlors continue to experience delays in receiving the necessary approvals to commence construction. When fully operational, the Philadelphia area locations could operate up to 15,000 slot machines.

In 2001, the New York Legislature authorized the installation of VLTs at various horse racing facilities in New York. The VLT facility at Yonkers Raceway opened in late 2006 and now operates 5,500 VLTs. The proposed VLT facility at Aqueduct Racetrack could open during the State’s 2009-2010 fiscal year with 4,500 VLTs. These locations are less than fifteen miles from Manhattan. The 2001 legislation also authorized the Governor of New York to negotiate compacts authorizing the operation of up to six Native American casinos in the State including slot machines. Three have now been located in the western part of New York and outside of our primary market area but the remaining three, if approved and developed, are required by law to be located in either Sullivan or Ulster County, adjoining counties, which are approximately 100 miles northwest of Manhattan.

Local referenda during June and August 2007 authorized three of West Virginia’s four race tracks to add table games to their state-operated video lottery terminal racino operations. During December 2007, two of those racinos opened a total of 93 table games.

11

In addition, other states near New Jersey, including Maryland, either have or are currently contemplating gaming legislation. The net effect of gaming facilities in such other states, when operational, on the Atlantic City gaming market, including our properties, cannot be predicted. Since our market is primarily a drive-in market, legalized gaming in one or more states neighboring or within close proximity to New Jersey could have a material adverse effect on the Atlantic City gaming market overall, including our properties.

Other enacted legislation, including local regulations may have an adverse impact on our operations.

On January 9, 2006, the New Jersey Legislature adopted the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act, which was effective on April 15, 2006. The law prohibits the smoking of tobacco in structurally enclosed indoor public places and workplaces in New Jersey, including licensed casino hotels. The law permits smoking within the perimeter of casino and casino simulcasting areas, and permits 20% of hotel guest rooms to be designated as smoking rooms.

In February 2007, Atlantic City’s city council adopted an ordinance which extended the smoking ban to casino and casino simulcasting areas effective April 15, 2007. Under the ordinance, casinos may, with certain conditions, permit smoking in up to 25% of these gaming areas and shall, during a phase-in period, construct a separated exhausted enclosure of each such smoking area.

In addition, bills are pending in the New Jersey Senate and Assembly which, if enacted, would repeal the gaming area exemption from the smoking ban provided for in the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act. This proposed ban on smoking in the casino and casino simulcasting areas could adversely affect the Atlantic City casinos, including our casinos.

Limitations on smoking have adversely impacted our operations. Additionally, should we proceed with the construction of the required separately exhausted enclosure of such smoking areas, our funding for such capital expenditures could reduce our ability to fund other capital projects or increase our overall indebtedness.

We might not be successful in pursuing additional gaming ventures in existing or emerging gaming markets

We are continuously looking to grow our business and diversify our cash flow by actively pursuing opportunities to capitalize on the Trump brand and expand our asset base in additional gaming markets. Competition for gaming opportunities that are or are expected to become available in additional jurisdictions is expected to be intense, and many of our known or anticipated competitors for available gaming licenses have greater resources and economies of scale than we do. We can not assure you that we will be successful in pursuing additional gaming ventures or developing additional gaming facilities.

Our 2007 Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain certain restrictions which could prevent us from developing new gaming facilities.

Our business is subject to a variety of other risks and uncertainties.

In addition to the risk factors described above, our financial condition and results of operations could be affected by many events that are beyond our control, such as:

12

Occurrence of any of these risks would materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

Changes in the cost of electricity and other energy could affect our business.

We are a large consumer of electricity and other energy. Accordingly, increases in energy costs, such as those experienced recently, may have a negative impact on our operating results. Additionally, higher energy and gasoline prices which affect our customers may result in reduced visitation to our resorts and may have an adverse effect on our business.

Our cash flows from operating activities are seasonal in nature.

Spring and summer are traditionally the peak seasons for our properties, while autumn and winter are non-peak seasons. Consequently, in the past, our operating results for the quarters ending in March and December have not been as strong as for the quarters ending in June and September. Excess cash from operations during peak seasons is used, in part, to subsidize operations during non-peak seasons. Performance in non-peak seasons is usually dependent on favorable weather and the long-weekend holiday calendar. In the event that we are unable to generate excess cash in one or more peak seasons, we may not be able to subsidize operations during non-peak seasons, if necessary, which would have an adverse effect on our business.

Not applicable.

See “Business—Casino Properties” for a brief description of the location and general character of each of our properties.

General. Substantially all of the real and personal property (other than cash) of each of our properties, including their respective hotel and casino facilities and the parcels of land on which they are situated, secure our indebtedness under the 2007 Credit Facility and Senior Notes on a first and second priority basis, respectively. Each of our properties has financed or leased and, from time to time, may finance or lease its acquisition of furniture, fixtures and equipment, including slot machines. The lien in favor of any such lender or lessor may be superior to the liens securing the indebtedness owing under the 2007 Credit Facility and the Senior Notes.

Each of our properties leases space to various retailers and food and beverage outlets in their respective facilities.

The following table lists our significant land holdings:

Trump Taj Mahal. We currently own approximately 39.4 acres of land that comprise the Trump Taj Mahal site, including the 24 acres on which the facility is situated and 11.9 acres of land suitable for development. The Trump Taj Mahal site includes the Steel Pier comprised of approximately 3.5 acres and related property located on the opposite side of the Boardwalk from Trump Taj Mahal. We currently lease the Steel Pier to an amusement park operator pursuant to a lease agreement which we and the operator have mutually agreed to extend until December 2008. Excluded from the table is an off-site warehouse location located on 18.0 acres. During 2006, we began construction of a new $255.0 million, 782 room hotel tower at the Trump Taj Mahal.

Trump Plaza. We own and lease approximately 10.9 acres of land, including several parcels of land in and around Atlantic City. We lease one of four parcels of land on which Trump Plaza is situated from Plaza Hotel Management Company (“PHMC”) pursuant to a non-renewable ground lease expiring in December 2078 (the “PHMC Lease”). We are responsible for the payment of fixed rent, as well as all other costs and expenses with respect to the use, operation and ownership of the leased tract and the improvements thereon, or which may in the future be located thereon, including, but not limited to, all maintenance and repair costs, insurance premiums, real estate taxes, assessments and utility charges. The improvements located on the leased tract are owned by us through the duration of the term of the PHMC Lease, and upon the expiration of the term of the PHMC Lease (for any reason), ownership of such improvements will then shift to PHMC. We have the option to purchase the leased parcel at certain times during the term of such PHMC Lease under certain circumstances.

We also lease, pursuant to the PHMC Lease, an approximately 11,800 square foot parcel of land located near the intersection of Mississippi and Pacific Avenues and own a 5,750 square foot parcel of land adjacent to it.

We also own five parcels of land, aggregating approximately 43,300 square feet, and lease one parcel consisting of approximately 3,125 square feet. All of such parcels are contiguous and are located along Atlantic Avenue, on the same block as Trump Plaza’s garage. These parcels of land are used for signage and surface parking and are encumbered by the Senior Notes.

Trump Marina. We own Trump Marina’s hotel and casino facility and the approximate 14.0-acre, triangular-shaped parcel of land on which it is situated, including 2.0 acres suitable for development. We also own an employee parking lot located on Route 30, approximately two miles from Trump Marina, which can

14

accommodate approximately 1,000 cars. In addition, pursuant to a long-term lease between Trump Marina and the State of New Jersey, Trump Marina leases the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina. The marina features approximately 640 boat slips.

Trump Tower, New York. We lease office space in Trump Tower located in New York, New York for general, executive and administrative purposes pursuant to a lease, dated November 1, 1996, as amended, with Trump Tower Commercial, LLC, an entity owned by Donald J. Trump. The Trump Tower lease expires on August 31, 2010.

Settlement of Atlantic City Property Tax Appeals—On November 7, 2007, we entered into a stipulation of settlement with the City of Atlantic City (“City”) to settle a series of appealed real property tax assessments relating to Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza and Trump Marina for various tax years through 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, we will receive a refund of $34 million relating to previously paid taxes consisting of (i) $12 million in cash, which was received on December 7, 2007 and (ii) $22 million in credits to be applied against future real property tax payments as follows: $4 million per year in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and $5 million per year in 2012 and 2013.

Pequot Tribe Litigation—On May 28, 2003, one of our indirect subsidiaries, Trump Entertainment Resorts Development Company, LLC (“TER Development”), filed a complaint against, among others, the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot Indian Tribal Nation (the “Pequot Tribe”) and Eastern Capital Development, Inc. (“ECD”) in the Superior Court of New London, Connecticut. In that complaint, TER Development alleged fraud, breach of contract, conspiracy, violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and intentional interference with contractual relations by ECD in connection with certain contractual arrangements between our subsidiary and the Pequot Tribe. Pursuant to such arrangements, TER Development had agreed, among other things, to support the efforts of the Pequot Tribe to obtain federal recognition, and together they had agreed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the operation of a tribal gaming facility to be managed by our subsidiary. In the complaint, TER Development seeks, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and a finding by the court that ECD has interfered with TER Development’s business relationship with the tribe and that certain members of the Pequot Tribe Tribal Counsel are in default under the aforementioned contractual arrangements in the sum of approximately $10 million. On October 12, 2005, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of Interior (BIA) denied the application of the Pequot Tribe for federal recognition, a prerequisite for developing a gaming facility. In October 2007, the parties entered into a settlement of the litigation pursuant to which TER Development would receive certain payments upon the opening of any casino by the Pequot Tribe. At this time, the Pequot Tribe is not federally recognized and there can be no assurance that it will ever be recognized or open a casino.

Power Plant Litigation—On December 30, 2004, TER Development filed a complaint against Richard T. Fields, Coastal Development, LLC, Power Plant Entertainment, LLC, Native American Development, LLC, Joseph S. Weinberg and The Cordish Company (collectively, the “Power Plant Group”) in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial District for Broward County, Florida, in which TER Development alleged that Power Plant Entertainment, LLC improperly obtained certain agreements with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. TER Development asserts claims for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy, violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and interference with prospective business relationship as a result of the Power Plant Group’s actions. We have commenced discovery, including ongoing depositions, in connection with this case. In 2008, the defendants filed numerous motions for summary judgment for dismissal of the litigation and other relief. TER intends to vigorously defend these motions and oral argument is scheduled for late March 2008. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of such motions or the litigation.

Chapter 11 Cases—Although we have emerged from bankruptcy, we still are in the process of resolving a limited number of claims and other litigation in connection with the Plan, which may continue for the foreseeable future.

15

On July 18, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court considered a motion brought by a certain group of persons alleging that they had held shares of THCR Common Stock on the record date for distributions under the Plan (and who subsequently sold their shares prior to the distribution date) but did not receive any distributions under the Plan, which they believe were wrongly made to the beneficial holders of our stock on the distribution date. The movants had sought an order compelling us to make distributions to them under the Plan. After additional briefing and a court hearing with respect to the issue on October 8, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court denied the movants’ motion on February 17, 2006. The movants filed an appeal from the judgment entered in the Bankruptcy Court in favor of the Predecessor Company. The movants appealed this motion to the United States District Court for the district of New Jersey. Briefs have been filed. On January 26, 2007 oral argument occurred, and further briefing was thereafter completed and a decision is pending.

New Jersey State Income Taxes—Prior to 2007, state income taxes for our New Jersey operations were computed under the alternative minimum assessment method. This alternative minimum tax assessment expired as of December 31, 2006 and therefore we have not recorded a provision for New Jersey state alternative minimum taxes in 2007. We believe our New Jersey partnerships are exempt from these taxes and, as such, have not remitted payments of the amounts provided. The New Jersey Division of Taxation has issued an assessment to collect the unpaid taxes for the tax years 2002 and 2003. At December 31, 2007, we have accrued $26.1 million for taxes and interest relating to this alternative minimum tax assessment for 2002 and 2003, as well as the open years 2004 through 2006. We are currently in discussions with the New Jersey Division of Taxation regarding settlement of these assessments.

Other Litigation—In addition to the foregoing, we and certain of our employees are involved from time to time in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While any proceeding or litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we believe that the final outcomes of these other matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. In general, we have agreed to indemnify certain of our key executives and directors 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 any legal proceedings absent a showing of such persons’ gross negligence or malfeasance.

None.

PART II

Reorganized Company

TER Common Stock. From the Effective Date to September 19, 2005, TER Common Stock traded on the Over-the-Counter (the “OTC”) Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol “DJTCQ.OB.” Since September 20, 2005, TER Common Stock has been trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (formerly, the Nasdaq National Market System) under the ticker symbol “TRMP.”

The following table reflects the high and low sales prices, rounded to the nearest penny, of TER Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Global Market, for each quarterly period in 2006 and 2007 and the subsequent interim quarterly period (through March 14, 2008).

17

Holders. As of March 10, 2008, there were approximately 2,637 holders of record of TER Common Stock.

Nine hundred shares of our class B common stock are also issued and outstanding, all of which are owned by Donald J. Trump. No established trading market exists for our class B common stock and our class B common stock is not permitted to receive any dividends or distributions (other than certain distributions upon liquidation) with respect to our equity. The issued and outstanding 900 shares of class B common stock held by Mr. Trump have the voting equivalency of 9,377,484 shares of TER Common Stock and represent the shares of TER Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Mr. Trump’s limited partnership interest in TER Holdings. The shares of class B common stock are redeemable at par to the extent the limited partnership interests in TER Holdings are converted by Mr. Trump.

We currently beneficially own an approximately 76.5% profits interest in TER Holdings, as both a general and limited partners of TER Holdings, and Mr. Trump owns directly and indirectly an approximately 23.5% profits interest in TER Holdings, as a limited partner.

Dividends. We have never paid a dividend on TER Common Stock and do not anticipate paying one in the foreseeable future. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon, among other things, our financial condition and capital needs, legal restrictions on the payment of dividends, contractual restrictions in financing agreements and on other factors deemed pertinent by our Board. It is the current policy of our Board to retain earnings, if any, for use in our properties’ operations. Pursuant to the terms of the 2007 Credit Facility and Senior Notes, TER Holdings and its subsidiaries are restricted from paying dividends and making distributions. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition.”

Overview

We own and operate the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino and the Trump Marina Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with and give consideration to the following items.

During 2007, our operating results were impacted by the following:

Increased Competition—During 2007, the Atlantic City gaming market experienced its first-ever decline in gaming revenues since 1978 due to increased competition from the introduction of new gaming capacity in Pennsylvania and New York, which are primary feeder markets for Atlantic City. Specifically, new slots-only casinos opened in Bensalem and Chester, Pennsylvania (both in the Philadelphia market) and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania with a total of approximately 5,100 slot machines. In addition, in late 2006 Yonkers Raceway in New York City opened its lottery terminal facility, which by the end of 2007, had approximately 5,500 machines.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, gross gaming revenues in the Atlantic City market (as reported to the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the “CCC”)) decreased 5.7% overall, including an 8.9% decrease in slot revenues, compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced a 5.2% decrease in overall gross gaming revenues and a 7.8% decrease in slot revenues compared to the prior year. Gaming revenues within the Atlantic City market were further impacted by increased promotional spending by our competitors in response to the increased competition and decrease in gaming revenues.

Smoking Restrictions—On April 15, 2007, an ordinance in Atlantic City became effective which extended smoking restrictions under the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act. Under the Atlantic City ordinance, casinos must restrict smoking to designated areas of up to 25% of the casino floor. While the ordinance does not require the immediate physical separation of smoking and non-smoking areas, the ordinance required construction plans for such separation to be submitted during September 2007. Based upon the plans submitted for approval by the

21

eleven Atlantic City casinos, seven casinos expect to construct non-gaming smoking lounges, while four casinos expect to construct smoking lounges where gaming will be permitted. We submitted plans to create smoking areas at Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Marina where gaming will be permitted. We submitted plans for a non-gaming smoking lounge at Trump Plaza. The construction of the lounges will require additional capital expenditures and modifications to our casino floors.

While we are unable to quantify the impact of these smoking restrictions, we believe these smoking restrictions have negatively impacted our gaming revenues and income from operations as our competition in adjacent states continues to permit smoking.

Impairment Charges—We review our long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets might not be recoverable. We review our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill or other intangible assets might be impaired. In connection with our annual goodwill and other intangible asset impairment testing, we recognized goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges totaling $186.6 million, of which $30.5 million related to Trump Taj Mahal, $70.8 million related to Trump Marina, $56.7 million related to Trump Plaza and $28.6 million related to TER. In addition, we recognized asset impairments related to Trump Marina’s long-lived asset group totaling $91.3 million.

The amount of goodwill and other asset impairment charges reported in our audited results included in this Form 10-K is approximately $39.1 million greater than the amount previously announced and income tax benefit is approximately $49.3 million greater than the amount previously announced as a result of recording a deferred income tax benefit relating to certain of the asset impairment charges, in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”

Settlement of Property Tax Appeals—During November 2007, we entered into a stipulation of settlement with the City of Atlantic City (the “City”) to settle a series of appealed real property tax assessments relating to Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza and Trump Marina for various tax years through 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, we received $12.0 million in cash and will receive $22.0 million in credits to be applied against future real property tax payments. The present value of the settlement totaling $30.7 million was recorded as a reduction to operating expenses in 2007. In connection with the settlement, we incurred $1.9 million in legal fees.

TrumpONE—In June 2007, we implemented TrumpONE, our new, company-wide customer loyalty program. Under the TrumpONE program, our customers are able to accumulate “comp dollars” based upon their slot machine and table games play which may be redeemed at their discretion for complimentary food, beverage and retail items.

New Jersey State Alternative Minimum Tax Assessment—For years prior to 2007, we recorded an income tax provision for New Jersey state income taxes based upon an alternative minimum assessment including a provision of $4.5 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This alternative minimum tax assessment expired as of December 31, 2006; therefore, we have not recorded a provision for New Jersey state alternative minimum taxes in 2007.

Our operating results during 2006 were impacted by the following:

Casino Operations Closure—The results of our operations were negatively impacted during 2006 due to the closure of our casino operations as a result of the State of New Jersey government closure for three days during early July 2006. While our hotel and some of our food and beverage operations remained open, the closure of our casino operations for this three-day period reduced our overall casino revenues. Additionally, we believe our casino and other revenues for the period after this closing were also negatively impacted.

22

South Jersey Transportation Authority (“SJTA”) Settlement—During September 2006, we reached a settlement with respect to a complaint we filed against the SJTA during 2003, pursuant to which we asserted a claim that the SJTA breached a development agreement. Our 2006 statement of operations includes a $1.7 million reduction in general and administrative expenses.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. Cash flows from the operating activities of our casino properties along with borrowings under our credit facility generally constitute our primary source of liquidity. We achieved a meaningful reduction in interest expense as a result of our May 20, 2005 debt restructuring and emergence from bankruptcy. Our management implemented programs to improve operating cash flow and will continue to attempt to implement such programs in the upcoming years. These programs included, among others, labor savings through headcount reductions, a more efficient management structure and employee scheduling, changes to our marketing programs and better management of our hotel room blocks.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $67.4 million during 2007 compared to $28.6 million during 2006. The increase in our cash flow from operations is principally due to changes in working capital requirements. In addition, our 2007 cash flow from operations reflects the $12.0 million cash payment received in connection with our settlement of property tax appeals with the City of Atlantic City.

During 2007, we used $274.8 million in investing activities. We made $232.2 million of capital expenditures primarily to renovate our facilities, including $87.8 million related to the construction of the new hotel tower at the Trump Taj Mahal. We funded our capital expenditures with available cash, cash flow from operations and, for the new hotel tower, borrowings under our Credit Facility. The net increase in restricted cash of $25.3 million during 2007 reflects (i) $147.4 million in funds borrowed under our Credit Facility, which are restricted for use in payment of expenditures associated with construction of the Trump Taj Mahal hotel tower, net of cash payments made from inception of construction to December 31, 2007 of $103.1 million, and (ii) proceeds of $27.4 million received from an escrow account following our settlement of certain income tax matters related to our sale of Trump Indiana in December 2005. Cash flow used in investing activities during 2006 was primarily due to capital expenditures of $127.6 million.

During 2007, our cash flow provided by financing activities totaled $228.7 million. Our 2007 financing activities included: (i) borrowings under our 2005 Credit Facility of $223.3 million, $147.4 million of which was restricted to fund a portion of the construction of the new hotel tower, (ii) $393.3 million in borrowings under our new $493.3 million 2007 Credit Facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay all amounts outstanding under our 2005 Credit Facility and $6.6 million of associated transaction costs, (iii) $9.0 million in repayments of capital lease obligations and (iv) partnership distributions to Mr. Trump totaling $1.0 million. Financing activities during 2006 included repayments of $28.0 million of our capital lease obligations and $1.5 million of outstanding term loans. We also paid $3.0 million in partnership distributions to Mr. Trump during 2006.

At December 31, 2007, we had approximately $121.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents do not include $52.7 million in restricted cash representing the portion of unused proceeds from borrowings which are restricted to fund the construction of the new hotel tower at the Taj Mahal and $8.4 million used to secure outstanding letters of credit.

At December 31, 2007, there was a $393.3 million term loan outstanding under our 2007 Credit Facility. We also had $1,249.0 million of Senior Notes outstanding. As of March 14, 2008, we have an additional $100 million available under the 2007 Credit Facility which must be drawn by December 31, 2008. In 2008, we expect to utilize available cash on hand, cash flow from operations and the additional availability under our 2007 Credit Facility to fund our operating, capital expenditure and debt service obligations.

23

In order to increase the competitiveness of our casino properties, we have made significant capital expenditures to renovate, update and expand our casinos. Construction continues on an estimated $255 million new 782-room hotel tower and connecting structure to expand our existing facility at the Trump Taj Mahal. We currently expect to open approximately 20 floors of the tower—approximately 400 rooms—by Labor Day weekend 2008, with the remainder of the building opening in phases through the conclusion of 2008.

Capital expenditures during 2008, including those under our recurring maintenance program are expected to be as follows:

We believe that cash on hand, available borrowing capacity and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating, capital expenditure and debt service obligations. While we believe that our sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet our cash obligations during the next twelve months, our ability to meet our operating and debt service obligations depends on a number of factors, including our existing cash on hand and cash flows generated by our operating subsidiaries. We continuously seek investment opportunities in an effort to expand our business beyond our existing properties. If we decide to pursue additional capital projects or invest in additional opportunities, we will need to obtain additional financing in the future.

Failure to achieve consistent profitability or maintain or achieve various other financial performance levels could limit our ability to fund our future capital expenditure expectations or make required payments on our indebtedness. In addition, given the restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness imposed under the 2007 Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes, there can be no assurance that other sources of funds will be available to us, or if available, at terms favorable to us.

TER has minimal operations, except for its ownership of TER Holdings and its subsidiaries. TER depends on the receipt of sufficient funds from its subsidiaries to meet its financial obligations. In addition, the terms of TER’s subsidiaries’ indebtedness limit the payment of dividends and other distributions to TER under many circumstances. The ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to TER Holdings may also be restricted by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.

Under the terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, we are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, incurrence of indebtedness, mergers, sales of assets, investments, restricted payments, capital expenditures, agreements with affiliates, our activities and amendment of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, among other limitations. We were in compliance with such covenants as of December 31, 2007.

Contractual obligations, as of December 31, 2007, mature as follows (in millions):

24

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interest, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements for periods from the filing of the Chapter 11 petition through the emergence from Chapter 11 were prepared in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code” (“SOP 90-7”). SOP 90-7 required separate reporting of certain expenses relating to the Predecessor Company’s Chapter 11 filings as reorganization items.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11, we adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with SOP 90-7. Under fresh-start reporting, a new entity was deemed to have been created for financial reporting purposes and the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values.

As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Reorganized Company’s post-emergence financial statements are generally not comparable with the financial statements of the Predecessor Company prior to its emergence from bankruptcy, including the historical financial statements included in this Report. Due to the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Predecessor and Reorganized Company financial statements are prepared on different bases.

For the purposes of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, we have combined the period from January 1, 2005 through May 19, 2005 (Predecessor Company) and the period from May 20, 2005 through December 31, 2005 (Reorganized Company) into the year ended December 31, 2005. This combination was performed as we believe it provides for the best comparison of our operating performance for the respective periods. Differences occurring in the periods which were caused by the financial statements being prepared on different bases of accounting are indicated in the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations.

Results of Operations: Operating Revenues and Expenses

Our primary business activities are conducted by Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza and Trump Marina.

The following tables include selected data of our casino properties (in millions).

26

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

The following is a discussion of each of our properties’ operating results:

Trump Taj Mahal—Gaming revenues decreased $21.3 million resulting primarily from a $23.0 million decline in slot revenues partially offset by an increase in table and other gaming revenues of $1.7 million. Net revenues declined $13.2 million due to the lower gaming revenues partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in hotel room revenue and a $5.7 million reduction in promotional allowances. The increase in hotel room revenue reflects the beneficial effects of improving our hotel room yield. Other revenues were consistent with the prior year as a decrease in entertainment revenue was offset by the retail value of complimentaries redeemed by TrumpONE members. The decrease in promotional allowances reflects reductions in gaming activity and promotional offers to less profitable customer segments.

Income from operations before an intangible asset impairment charge of $30.5 million and $3.6 million of income, net of legal fees, recognized in connection with the settlement of property tax appeals with the City, decreased $2.9 million due to the decrease in net revenues and a $10.3 million reduction in operating costs. Changes in operating expenses included decreases in: payroll and related costs of $7.4 million; depreciation expense of $4.6 million, primarily due to certain fixed assets being fully depreciated as of the end of 2006; entertainment expenses of $1.9 million due to a decrease in entertainment offerings; and gaming taxes of $1.7 million. These decreases were offset by increases in: food and other costs of goods and services of $2.2 million, principally associated with cost of retail items offered through the TrumpOne program; advertising costs of $1.4 million, primarily associated with TrumpONE; and provisions for uncollectible accounts of $1.9 million, associated with the growth in our table games revenues.

Trump Plaza—Net revenues decreased $11.1 million due to a $20.4 million decline in gaming revenues and a $4.3 million decline in food and beverage revenues partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in hotel room revenue and an $11.0 million decrease in promotional allowances. The decrease in gaming revenues was due to an $18.8 million decline in slot revenues and a $1.5 million decline in table revenues. Reductions in promotional allowances reflect the impact of decreased gaming revenues, as well as reductions in hotel room, food and beverage comps and promotions offered to less profitable customer segments. The increase in hotel room revenue reflects the beneficial effects of improving our hotel room yield.

Before consideration of $56.7 million in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges and $22.6 million of income, net of legal fees, from the settlement of property tax appeals with the City, income from operations decreased by $2.2 million. The $11.1 million decrease in net revenues was partially offset by an $8.9 million decrease in operating costs. The lower costs and expenses were primarily due to decreases in payroll expenses of $5.9 million and gaming tax expense of $1.7 million, corresponding to the lower gaming revenues. Theses decreases were partially offset by increases in regulatory fees of $1.1 million and insurance costs of $1.2 million.

Trump Marina—Net revenues decreased $13.8 million due to a $15.9 million decrease in gaming revenues and a $2.0 million increase in promotional allowances, partially offset by increases in other revenues of $2.9 million and in hotel room revenues of $0.9 million. The decrease in gaming revenues reflects a $17.8 million decrease in slot revenues and a $1.9 million increase in table and other gaming revenues. The increase in other revenues and promotional allowances was primarily due to the retail value of complimentaries redeemed by TrumpONE members.

During 2007, Trump Marina recognized $162.1 million in goodwill and asset impairment charges and $2.6 million of income, net of legal fees, from the settlement of property tax appeals with the City. In addition, a $1.7 million beneficial settlement with the SJTA was recognized during 2006. Before consideration of these items, income from operations decreased $21.8 million due to the decrease in net revenues and an $8.0 million increase in operating costs. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to a net increase in promotional expenses of $4.3 million, principally associated with the TrumpONE program and other promotional activities, and increases in depreciation expense of $2.6 million and food and other costs of goods and services of $1.2 million. These

27

increases were partially offset by decreases in gaming taxes of $1.2 million and reductions in payroll and related costs of $1.2 million.

Corporate and Development Expenses—Before consideration of $28.6 million in goodwill impairment charges, corporate and development expenses decreased $5.8 million to $29.8 million in 2007 due to a $7.0 million decrease in development expenses and a $2.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. These decreases were offset by a $2.2 million increase in professional fees principally resulting from costs associated with our strategic review of our operations and a $0.9 million increase in severance costs.

Interest Income—Interest income decreased by $2.7 million compared to 2006. This decrease reflects lower average invested cash and cash equivalents from the prior year as we used available cash to fund capital expenditures and interest obligations.

Interest Expense—Interest expense of $131.0 million during 2007 and $130.1 million during 2006, was net of capitalized interest of $4.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. In addition to increased capitalized interest reflecting capitalized construction costs primarily associated with the new hotel tower at the Trump Taj Mahal, components of interest expense reflect increases in interest expense primarily associated with increased borrowings and decreased interest expense reflecting the repayment of capital lease obligations.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt—In connection with the refinancing of our 2005 Credit Facility during 2007, we recorded a $4.1 million non-cash loss on early extinguishment of debt primarily relating to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2005 Credit Facility.

Minority Interests—Following our reorganization, minority interests for the Reorganized Company principally consist of the 23.5% limited partnership interest in TER Holdings owned directly and indirectly by Mr. Trump. Minority interests in our loss from continuing operations in 2007 are comprised of $60.3 million relating to Mr. Trump’s ownership interest in TER Holdings.

Provision for Income Taxes—Our provision for income taxes in 2007 includes a deferred tax benefit of $49.3 million, a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $0.2 million and a current tax provision of $0.2 million. The provision in 2006 includes a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $1.9 million and a current state income tax provision of $4.6 million. The 2007 income tax provision has significantly declined due to the lapsing of state legislation requiring an alternative minimum tax assessment in 2006.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

The following is a discussion of each of our properties’ operating results:

Trump Taj Mahal—Net revenues increased 5.2% to $502.7 million as a result of a $22.8 million increase in our total revenues and a $2.1 million reduction in promotional allowances. Our revenues reflect year over year improvement in all areas of operations including increases in gaming revenues of $12.6 million, room revenues of $2.8 million, food and beverage revenues of $3.3 million and other revenues of $4.1 million. Before consideration of reorganization income of $104.5 million recorded in 2005, our operating expenses increased by $13.4 million, comprised of increases in general and administrative expenses of $6.5 million and increases in all other expenses of $11.6 million partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease in depreciation due to the $49.4 million write-down of net fixed assets during 2005 to reflect fresh-start accounting. The increase in general and administrative costs is principally due to increases in entertainment expenses of $4.0 million, insurance costs of $1.8 million and advertising expenses of $1.2 million partially offset by reductions in customer comp costs and lower utility costs. The increase in our other expenses reflects increased casino operating costs of $7.0 million, primarily due to higher promotional spending targeted to increase casino revenues, $2.2 million in increased rooms and food and beverage costs relating to the increased revenues and $2.4 million in allowances for doubtful accounts offset by decreases in payroll costs.

Trump Plaza—A $1.4 million decrease in gaming revenues, a $2.4 million decrease in food and beverage revenues and a $1.1 million decrease in rooms and other revenues were offset by a $10.4 million reduction in

28

promotional allowances resulting in increased net revenues of $5.4 million. Our gaming revenue decreased $1.4 million reflecting a decrease in slot revenue of $7.1 million driven by the reduction in slot marketing and coin offers offset by an increase in table games revenues of $5.7 million. Food, beverage and other revenues decreased $2.4 million principally due to the closure of a restaurant for remodeling for eight weeks during 2006. The $10.4 million decrease in promotional allowances is primarily a result of a $6.3 million decrease in complimentary food and rooms and a $3.6 million decrease in slot coin marketing offers. Before consideration of reorganization income of $17.4 million recorded in 2005, our total costs and expenses decreased $0.4 million. This decrease reflects a $6.0 million decrease in casino and other operating expenses principally due to payroll reductions of $1.2 million and reductions of casino promotions and complimentary expenses of $4.1 million partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses of $2.3 million primarily due to increased payroll, severance and other related expenses of $1.7 million and increased rooms and food and beverage expenses of $2.1 million. Our depreciation expense increased by $1.2 million due to the completion of our casino renovation and other completed capital expenditures.

Trump Marina—Net revenues in 2006 increased $3.7 million compared to 2005. Total revenues increased $7.3 million principally due to a $6.5 million increase in gaming revenues. The higher revenues were driven by a $3.6 million increase in promotional allowances which include $3.1 million in additional slot coin offers targeted to increase our slot revenues. General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million reflecting the benefit of a $1.7 million settlement with the SJTA, a $1.3 million reduction in payroll costs and a $1.1 million reduction in utility costs due to the full-year benefit of investments in energy saving initiatives which commenced in late 2005 offset by increases in insurance expenses of $1.2 million, payroll related expenses of $0.8 million, advertising of $0.6 million, property taxes of $0.6 million and other increases of $0.2 million. Depreciation expense decreased $1.7 million reflecting the write-down of fixed assets during 2005 to reflect fresh-start accounting. During 2005, fresh-start accounting expense totaled $42.1 million.

Corporate and Other Expenses—Before consideration of fresh-start accounting and reorganization expenses of $62.9 million and a charge of $8.0 million for ten-year warrants issued to Mr. Trump in connection with the services agreement between the Company and Mr. Trump incurred during 2005, corporate and other expenses increased by approximately $5.7 million for 2006. This increase is due to a $2.3 million increase in development costs principally associated with our unsuccessful efforts to obtain a gaming license in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a $2.2 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $1.2 million increase in payroll and other costs.

Interest Income—Interest income increased $7.3 million principally due to higher average cash balances during 2006 as a result of the proceeds received from the sale of Trump Indiana in December 2005.

Interest Expense—Interest expense decreased by approximately $36.3 million, or 21.8%, from the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in interest expense during 2006 was due to the reorganization of our long-term debt in 2005, which resulted in lower principal amounts due and significantly reduced interest rates, repayment of long-term debt of $29.5 million and the capitalization of $1.2 million in interest expense related to our capital construction projects.

Minority Interests—Minority interests in our loss from continuing operations in 2006 are comprised of $5.5 million relating to Mr. Trump’s ownership interest in TER Holdings and $0.1 million for other minority ownership interests in TER Holdings subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes—Our provision for income taxes on continuing operations reflects an expense of $6.5 million. This provision consists of state income taxes of $4.6 million and a non-cash charge in lieu of income taxes of $1.9 million.

Discontinued Operations—Income from discontinued operations in 2006 reflects the settlement of liabilities assumed in connection with the December 2005 sale of our Trump Indiana riverboat casino.

29

Critical Accounting Estimates

General—Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Of our accounting estimates, we believe the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—We have approximately $145.2 million of goodwill and $97.3 million of intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet at December 31, 2007. We regularly evaluate our businesses for potential impairment indicators. Additionally, we perform impairment testing at least annually. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on, among other things, the regulatory and competitive status, operational performance of each of our businesses and financial market valuations of conditions surrounding our business entities and the gaming industry. Events such as the failure to meet or exceed our operating plans, increased competition, the enactment of increased gaming tax rates or changes in market valuations could significantly impact our judgments and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

During 2007, our results were negatively impacted by an increase in regional competition, a partial smoking ban in Atlantic City and a general weakening of the economy. In connection with our annual impairment testing of our goodwill and other intangible assets, we determined that goodwill associated with TER, Trump Marina and Trump Plaza was impaired. We recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $80.6 million, of which $28.6 million related to TER, $35.1 million related to Trump Marina and $16.9 million related to Trump Plaza. In addition, we determined that certain of our other intangible assets were impaired. We recorded non-cash other intangible asset impairment charges, principally relating to our trademarks, totaling $106.0 million, of which $30.5 million, $35.7 million and $39.8 million related to Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Marina and Trump Plaza, respectively.

The impairment test procedures performed in accordance with our annual impairment testing requires us to make comprehensive estimates of the future cash flows of our reporting units. Due to uncertainties associated with such estimates, actual results could differ from such estimates. A continuation of the previously mentioned conditions may result in the determination that some or all of our remaining goodwill and other intangible assets have become impaired, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Property and Equipment—Our operations are capital intensive and we make capital investments at each of our properties in the form of maintenance capital and, from time to time, expansion and product enhancement capital. At December 31, 2007, we have approximately $1,630.5 million of net property and equipment recorded on our balance sheet. We depreciate our assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimates of the useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as our current operating strategy. Events such as property expansions, new competition and new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.

During 2007, the circumstances described above which affected our goodwill and other intangible assets, also resulted in the recognition of an impairment charge relating to the property and equipment of Trump Marina. We estimated our future undiscounted cash flows and determined that they were not sufficient to cover the carrying value of the assets of Trump Marina. We subsequently recorded an impairment charge relating to the long-lived assets totaling $91.3 million after comparing the fair value (using a discounted cash flow methodology) to the carrying value. As a result of the competition in our marketplace, the investment of other capital in the Marina district of Atlantic City and the operating performance of Trump Marina during 2007, we reduced the remaining estimated useful life of the building to 20 years in connection with our impairment test.

In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of property and equipment, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record additional impairment charges for these and other assets.

Trump ONE Liability—Our unified player’s program, Trump ONE, allows customers to accumulate certain point-based rewards based on the volume of their gaming activity. Trump ONE customers may earn “comp

30

dollars” redeemable for complimentary food, beverage and retail items and “cash-back points” which are redeemable in cash. Comp dollars and cash-back points accumulate over time and may be redeemed at the customer’s discretion under the terms of the program. Comp dollars and cash-back points are forfeited if a customer does not redeem earned rewards over a specified period of time. As a result of the ability of the customer to accumulate comp dollars and cash-back points, we accrue the associated expense, after giving effect to estimated forfeitures, as they are earned. At December 31, 2007, $5.7 million was accrued related to comp dollars and $2.3 million was accrued related to cash-back points earned under this program. Our accruals could be significantly affected if estimated forfeitures vary from historical levels or changes occur in the cost of providing complimentary food, beverage and retail items under the Trump ONE program. Management reviews our accruals for adequacy at the end of each reporting period.

Insurance Accruals—Our insurance policies for employee health, workers’ compensation and general patron liabilities have significant deductible levels on an individual claim basis. We accrue a liability for known workers’ compensation and general patron liabilities based upon a review of individual claims. Additionally, we accrue an amount for incurred but not reported claims based on our historical experience and other factors. Our employee health insurance benefit accrual is based on our historical claims experience rate including an estimated lag factor. These accruals involve complex estimates and could be significantly affected should current claims vary from historical levels. Management reviews our insurance accruals for adequacy at the end of each reporting period.

Income Taxes—We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in several states. We account for income taxes, including our current, deferred and non-cash charge in lieu of tax provisions in accordance with SFAS Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). The calculation of our income tax provision following our reorganization is complex and requires the use of estimates. Management reviews our provision for income taxes at the end of each reporting period. Additionally, our income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and our income tax liabilities. Inherent in our determination of any necessary reserves are assumptions based on past experiences and judgments about potential actions by taxing authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonable and foreseeable outcome related to uncertain tax matters. When actual results of tax examinations differ from our estimates, we adjust the income tax provision in the period in which the examination issues are settled.

Inflation

There was no significant impact on operations as a result of inflation during 2007, 2006 or 2005.

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments is the potential loss in fair value arising from adverse changes in interest rates. The following table provides information about our debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The following table also presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity date of our debt obligations.

We currently have no outstanding interest rate swaps. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to change the proportion of fixed to variable rate debt within parameters established by management. In accordance with these parameters, the agreements are used to manage interest rate risks and cost inherent in our debt portfolio.
