NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Organization

Organization – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. (“TER”), a Delaware corporation, its majority-owned subsidiary, Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, L.P. (“TER Holdings”), a Delaware limited partnership, and their respective subsidiaries. Except where otherwise noted, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms, as well as “Company,” refer to TER and all of its subsidiaries. Through TER Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries we own and operate the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (“Trump Taj Mahal”), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (“Trump Plaza”) and Trump Marina Hotel Casino (“Trump Marina”) in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

TER currently beneficially owns an approximate 76.5% profits interest in TER Holdings, as both a general and limited partner, and Donald J. Trump (“Mr. Trump”) owns directly and indirectly an approximate 23.5% profits interest in TER Holdings, as a limited partner. Mr. Trump’s limited partnership interests in TER Holdings are exchangeable at Mr. Trump’s option into 9,377,484 shares of TER’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “TER Common Stock”) (subject to certain adjustments), which, if exchanged, would give Mr. Trump ownership of an aggregate of approximately 26.2% of the TER Common Stock (including shares currently held directly by Mr. Trump) or approximately 28.7% assuming currently exercisable warrants held by Mr. Trump were exercised. Mr. Trump also holds 900 shares of TER’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The Class B Common Stock has the voting equivalency of the 9,377,484 shares of TER Common Stock for which Mr. Trump’s limited partnership interests in TER Holdings may be exchanged, and generally votes on all matters with the TER Common Stock as a single class. The Class B Common Stock is redeemable at par to the extent that Mr. Trump exchanges his limited partnership interests in TER Holdings for TER Common Stock and is not entitled to receive any dividends.

Senior Secured Credit Facility - On May 20, 2005, TER and TER Holdings entered into an agreement for a $500,000 senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders. Pursuant to the Credit Facility, as amended, the lenders have agreed to provide TER Holdings (i) a revolving credit facility in the amount of $200,000, (ii) a single-draw term loan facility in the amount of $150,000, which was drawn on May 20, 2005, the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of our Second Amended and Restated Joint Plan of Reorganization, dated March 30, 2005, as amended (the “Plan”), and (iii) a delayed draw term loan facility in the amount of $150,000, which is restricted to fund construction of a new hotel tower at Trump Taj Mahal. The Credit Facility, as amended, also includes a sub-facility for letters of credit in an amount of up to $75,000.

During May 2007, we borrowed $147,375 under the delayed draw term loan facility. As required under the terms of the Credit Facility, the proceeds from the delayed draw term loan facility are being used in connection with the construction of the new hotel tower at Trump Taj Mahal. At September 30, 2007, unused proceeds from the delayed draw term loan totaling $85,459 are reflected as long-term restricted cash. The term loans mature on May 20, 2012, and must be repaid during the final year of such loans in equal quarterly amounts, subject to amortization of approximately 1.0% per year prior to the final year.

At September 30, 2007, there was $23,000 outstanding under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility. The revolving portion of the Credit Facility may be used to fund ongoing working capital requirements of TER Holdings and its subsidiaries and other general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility matures on May 20, 2010. Issued and outstanding letters of credit, which reduce available borrowings under the Credit Facility, totaled $7,983 at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2007, subject to the limitations imposed by our debt incurrence covenant, remaining availability under the Credit Facility was approximately $58,000.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all the assets of TER Holdings and its subsidiaries. TER Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, except for a minor non-guarantor subsidiary. We and our subsidiaries are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants and must comply with certain financial covenants including maintenance of a leverage ratio of 8.75 to 1, a first lien coverage ratio of 2.25 to 1 and an interest coverage ratio of 1.35 to 1. The Credit Facility restricts our ability to make certain investments, distributions or pay dividends.

We are in compliance with our covenants under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2007. However, if our operating results do not improve, we may not be in compliance with certain of the financial covenants in the future. Accordingly, we might seek the consent of the lenders under the Credit Facility to amend certain of the financial covenants. While we currently believe that we will be able to obtain such an amendment, there can be no assurance that we would be successful in doing so, and we cannot predict the cost of such amendment. If we were to fail to comply with the covenants under the Credit Facility and were unable to obtain an amendment from our lenders, then we may be unable to make further borrowings under the Credit Facility, the lenders may be able to seek to accelerate our outstanding debt under the Credit Facility and, if the Credit Facility debt were to be accelerated, then the holders of not less than 25% of the outstanding Senior Notes may be able to seek to accelerate the Senior Notes, any of which could be materially adverse to our business, liquidity and financial condition. If we were to seek to refinance our outstanding debt or obtain new sources of funds, there can be no assurance that we would be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Senior Secured Notes – On the Effective Date, TER Holdings and its wholly-owned finance subsidiary, Trump Entertainment Resorts Funding, Inc. (“TER Funding”) issued $1,250,000 of Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were used to pay distributions under the Plan. The Senior Notes due June 1, 2015, bear interest at 8.5% per annum. $1,038 of the Senior Secured Notes were returned to us under the terms of the Plan and retired during 2006. In June 2007, we were notified by our bond trustee of the issuance of $7 in additional Senior Notes as a result of a clerical adjustment in the original issuance. As such, we recorded additional outstanding Senior Notes and increased our goodwill by $7 as these notes were issued as a part of our reorganization.

$730,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is nonrecourse to the issuers and to the partners of TER Holdings (the “Qualified Portion”). $520,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is recourse to the issuers and to TER, in its capacity as general partner of TER Holdings (the “Non-Qualified Portion”).

The Non-Qualified Portion and Qualified Portion are recalculated on a periodic basis no less frequently than annually based on certain tax considerations, provided that in no event will the Qualified Portion exceed $730,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes.

TER Funding has no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of our Senior Notes. All other subsidiaries of TER Holdings, except a minor non-guarantor subsidiary (the “Guarantors”), are guarantors of the Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. TER Holdings and TER Funding have no independent assets or operations from the Guarantors. Therefore, condensed consolidating financial statements are not presented.

The Senior Notes are secured by substantially all of our real property and incidental personal property, subject to liens securing amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility and certain permitted prior liens. The issuers and Guarantors of the Senior Notes are subject to certain covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes. Under these covenants, TER Holdings and the Guarantors are subject to limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and payment of dividends.

The Senior Notes rank senior in right of payment to the issuers’ and Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the issuers and the Guarantors on a priority basis, the Senior Notes and the guarantees thereof are effectively subordinated to amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility.

Earnings Per Share

The computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except share and per share data)	2007		2006		2007			2006
Numerator for basic earnings per share:
Net income (loss)	$	6,626	$	5,833	$	(14,961	)	$	(8,824	)

Numerator for diluted earnings per share:
Net income (loss)	$	6,626	$	5,833	$	(14,961	)	$	(8,824	)
Addback: Minority interest to reflect dilution of exchangeable limited partnership interest		2,032		1,850		—			—

Diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.21	$	0.19	$	(0.48	)	$	(0.29	)

During periods reflecting net income, minority interest recorded in the statement of operations is added to our net income to calculate diluted earnings per share as the Class B Common Stock becomes dilutive. During periods reflecting a net loss, the Class B Common Stock is anti-dilutive.

The shares attributable to our Class A Warrants are considered outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the period from January 1, 2006 through May 20, 2006 as there were no events precluding their eventual issuance on May 20, 2006.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share due to anti-dilution are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2007	2006	2007	2006
Exchangeable limited partnership interest	—	—	9,377,484	9,377,484

Stock-based Compensation Plans

Our shareholders approved the 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the “2005 Stock Plan”) allowing for incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other stock-based awards to our officers, employees, consultants and independent directors. A total of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for the issuance of awards available for grant under the 2005 Stock Plan.

In accordance with the revised provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Statement 123, “Share Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), we recorded compensation expense, net of forfeitures for our stock option and restricted stock awards of $858 and $2,901 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $1,207 and $4,209 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Restricted Stock - At September 30, 2007, there were 239,146 shares of nonvested restricted stock issued and outstanding. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested restricted stock to be recognized over the remaining contractual life was $1,940. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of outstanding restricted stock grants at September 30, 2007 was 1.0 year.

There were 148,784 restricted shares issued and 23,304 restricted shares forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. There were 20,935 restricted shares repurchased for $220 under employee severance agreements during 2007.

Stock Options - At September 30, 2007, there were 300,000 stock options outstanding which vest in equal increments on July 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. At September 30, 2007, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested stock options to be recognized over the remaining contractual life was $1,143.

Income Taxes

Our income tax provision is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Current - federal	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

Provision for federal income taxes		—		—		—		—

Current - state		—		1,156		—		3,512
Deferred - state		—		—		—		—

Provision for state income taxes		—		1,156		—		3,512

Non-cash charge in lieu of taxes		—		1,600		200		2,075

	$	—	$	2,756	$	200	$	5,587

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, our goodwill has been reduced by $200 and $2,075, respectively, for our non-cash charge in lieu of taxes.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.

At September 30, 2007, we had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $29,728 (including interest) of which $6,900 would affect our effective tax rate, if recognized. The application of FIN 48 did not have an impact on stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital on the date of adoption. It is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits related to income tax examinations totaling $7,765 could be settled during the next twelve months.

We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties as a component of income tax expense. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, we recognized approximately $411 and $1,456, respectively in potential interest associated with uncertain tax positions. At September 30, 2007, we had approximately $5,831 accrued for the payment of interest on uncertain tax positions. To the extent interest is not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions of the Reorganized Company, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of interest expense. To the extent interest is not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions of the Predecessor Company, amounts accrued will be reduced and the impact will reduce goodwill in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 93-7, “Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF 93-7”).

Federal and State Income Tax Audits

Tax years 1997 through 2006 remain subject to examination by U.S. and state tax jurisdictions. Certain of our subsidiaries are currently involved in examinations with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) concerning their

federal partnership income tax returns for the tax years 2002 through 2004. While any adjustments resulting from this examination could affect their specific state income tax returns, we do not believe that adjustments, if any, will have a material adverse effect on their financial condition or results of operations.

At September 30, 2007, we have recorded a net receivable of $1,098 to reflect the expected federal refunds (including interest) related to Trump Indiana’s settlement with the IRS for the years 1996 through 2004 and the impact of the settlement on the period from January 1, 2005 through December 21, 2005, the date of the sale of Trump Indiana to Majestic Star Casino, LLC (“Majestic Star”). During 2007, we have reduced goodwill by $383 in accordance with EITF 93-7 to reflect the settlement of Pre-Reorganization tax audits related to Trump Indiana. Additionally, we have accrued a liability of $5,465 related to the impact on state income taxes (including interest) resulting from agreed upon IRS audit adjustments for 1996 through December 21, 2005. In accordance with the terms of our Stock Purchase Agreement with Majestic Star, TER Holdings has retained the liability for expected federal and state income taxes (including interest) related to Trump Indiana for the tax years 1995 through December 21, 2005.

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 have asserted our position that 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 September 30, 2007, we have accrued $25,211 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.

Tax Distributions

TER Holdings’ partnership agreement requires distributions to its partners, TER and Mr. Trump, sufficient in amount to cover all federal, state and local income taxes incident to their ownership of TER Holdings, including special allocations of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits. TER Holdings made distributions of $440 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and has recorded distributions payable of $590 as of September 30, 2007. In addition, the partnership agreement contains an indemnification clause which may result in additional payments to Mr. Trump upon the disposition of any of our existing casino properties. The amount of these indemnification payments would be sufficient in amount to cover the impact of any such disposition on Mr. Trump’s federal, state and local income tax positions up to $100,000 in the aggregate and would only be due if Mr. Trump would not consent to any applicable transaction.

TrumpONE Unified Player’s Program

In June 2007, we implemented the TrumpONE unified player’s program (“TrumpONE”), our new, company-wide customer loyalty program. Under TrumpONE, our customers are able to accumulate complimentary dollars (“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. Unredeemed comp dollars are subject to the terms of the TrumpONE program, including forfeiture based upon the lapsing of time. We record the cost of comp dollars as a gaming expense when earned by our customers. The retail value of the complimentary food, beverage and other retail items is recorded as revenue with an offset to promotional allowances at the time our customers redeem comp dollars. We accrued $4,261 of gaming expense in June 2007 to record the initial comp dollar liability, including consideration of estimated forfeitures.

In addition to comp dollars, our customers have the ability to earn points based on slot machine or table games play that are redeemable in cash (“cash-back points”). We historically have accrued the cost of cash-back points, after consideration of estimated forfeitures, as they are earned. The cost is recorded in promotional allowances.

Customers may also receive discretionary complimentary rooms, food and beverage and other services which are expensed as incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. At each subsequent reporting date, companies shall report in earnings any unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the company also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. We are currently evaluating whether to adopt the fair value option under SFAS 159 and evaluating what impact such adoption would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies

Casino Reinvestment Development Authority Obligations – Pursuant to the provisions of the Casino Control Act, we must either obtain investment tax credits, as defined in the Casino Control Act, 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, as defined in the Casino Control Act, or by depositing funds which may be converted to bonds by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (“CRDA”), both of which bear interest at two-thirds of market rates resulting in a fair value lower than cost. Certain of our subsidiaries are required to make quarterly deposits with the CRDA to satisfy their investment obligations.

At September 30, 2007, our qualifying CRDA investments include approximately $1,500 in non-performing bonds, net of a reserve of $700. These bonds are collateralized by equipment and real property. We record interest income on non-performing bonds as cash interest payments are received. We continue to evaluate the collectibility of these bonds. Future events may result in the need to record additional reserves relating to our investment in these bonds.

NJSEA Subsidy Agreement – On April 12, 2004, the casinos located in Atlantic City (the “Casinos”), including our Atlantic City casinos, executed an agreement (the “NJSEA Subsidy Agreement”) with the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) and the CRDA. The NJSEA Subsidy Agreement provides that the Casinos, on a pro rata basis according to their gross revenues, shall: (i) pay $34,000 in cash over four years to the NJSEA in four annual installments through October 15, 2007, and donate $52,000 to the NJSEA from the regular payment of their CRDA obligations for use by the NJSEA through 2008 to enhance purses, fund breeders awards and establish account wagering at New Jersey horse racing tracks; and (ii) donate $10,000 from the regular payment of their CRDA obligations for use by the CRDA as grants to such other North Jersey projects as the CRDA shall determine. We estimate our portion of the industry obligation at approximately 23%.

The NJSEA Subsidy Agreement further provides for a moratorium until January 2009 on the conduct of casino gaming at any New Jersey racetrack (unless casinos controlling a majority of the hotel rooms operated by the casinos in Atlantic City otherwise agree). Violation of the moratorium terminates the NJSEA Subsidy Agreement and all further payment obligations to the NJSEA and requires the NJSEA to return all undistributed cash to the casinos and the CRDA to return all undistributed donated investment alternative tax obligation payments to the casinos.

CAFRA Agreement – Trump Taj Mahal received a permit under the Coastal Area Facilities Review Act (“CAFRA”) 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 $30,000. 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.

Legal Proceedings

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

On July 18, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court considered a motion brought by a certain group of persons alleging that they had held shares of our Predecessor Company’s 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 Predecessors Company’s common 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, oral argument occurred, and further briefing was ordered. During April 2007, the United States District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court’s denial and remanded the case back to the Bankruptcy Court for further consideration. We have filed a notice of appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and the Court has ordered a briefing schedule.

South Jersey Transportation Authority Settlement – During September 2006, we reached a settlement with respect to a complaint we filed against the South Jersey Transportation Authority. General and administrative expenses for 2006 include a $1,750 reduction to reflect the amount of the settlement.

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, management believes 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 our certain key executives and our 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.

Subsequent Event – Settlement of Property Tax Appeals

On November 2, 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. Payment in accordance with the agreement will be made upon approval by the Tax Court of New Jersey (“Tax Court”) and the necessary appropriation by the City. Under the terms of the agreement, we will receive a refund of $34,000 relating to previously paid taxes consisting of (i) $12,000 in cash, payable within 30 days of the execution of the agreement, and (ii) $22,000 in credits to be applied against future real property tax payments as follows: $4,000 per year in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and $5,000 per year in 2012 and 2013.

The present value of the settlement is estimated to be approximately $31,000 and will be recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses once approved by the Tax Court.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “continue” or “could” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the SEC or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers.

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. Our operating results during 2007 have been impacted by increased competition in adjoining states, smoking restrictions under state and local legislation and the implementation of TrumpONE, our new unified player’s program. Our operating results during 2006 were impacted by the closure of our casino operations for three days during July 2006. In addition, we reached a favorable settlement with the South Jersey Transportation Authority (“SJTA”) for $1.7 million during September 2006 which was reflected as a reduction in general and administrative expenses at Trump Marina. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with and give consideration to the following:

Increased Competition – During 2007, the Atlantic City gaming market has experienced a decline in gaming revenues attributable to increased competition from the introduction of new gaming capacity in Pennsylvania and New York 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 approximately 4,100 video lottery terminal facility.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, gross gaming revenues in the Atlantic City market (as reported to the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the “CCC”)) decreased 6.2% overall, while slot revenues decreased 9.6% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we experienced a 4.6% decrease in overall gross gaming revenue and a 7.6% decrease in slot revenue compared to the prior-year period. 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, gross gaming revenues in the Atlantic City market (as reported to the CCC) decreased 4.8% overall, while slot revenues decreased 7.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we experienced a 4.7% decrease in overall gross gaming revenue and a 7.9% decrease in slot revenue compared to the prior-year period.

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 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.

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. During June 2007, upon implementation of TrumpONE, we recognized $4.3 million of gaming expense to record the initial comp dollar liability.

Casino Operations Closure – The results of our operations were negatively impacted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

South Jersey Transportation Authority 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 statements of operations include a $1.7 million reduction in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 to reflect the settlement.

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

$1.1 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. 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.

Comparison of Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Each of our properties’ operating results were as follows:

Trump Taj Mahal – Income from operations increased $2.8 million due to a $3.5 million decrease in operating expenses partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in net revenues. The lower net revenues were due to a $2.6 million decrease in gaming revenues and a $1.3 million decrease in other revenues partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in rooms revenue and a $2.5 million decrease in promotional allowances. The decrease in gaming revenues was due to a $5.6 million decline in slot revenues partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in table games revenues. The decrease in other revenues reflects year over year changes in our entertainment offerings while the increase in rooms revenue reflects the impact of improving our hotel room yield. The decrease in promotional allowances reflects the impact of decreased gaming revenues and a reduction in promotional offers to less profitable customer segments.

The decrease in operating expenses is due to decreases in: payroll and related costs of $2.2 million; promotional expenses of $1.3 million; entertainment expenses of $3.7 million; and depreciation expense of $0.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in: advertising and marketing costs of $1.8 million, primarily associated with TrumpONE; expenses for uncollectible accounts of $0.4 million associated with the growth in our table games revenues; insurance expense of $0.6 million; and net increases in other costs and expenses of $1.7 million. The lower depreciation expense was primarily due to certain fixed assets being fully depreciated as of the end of 2006 offset by depreciation expense on capital expenditures placed in service during the current year.

Trump Plaza – Income from operations increased by $4.0 million due to a $5.1 million decrease in operating costs partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in net revenues. The lower net revenues were principally due to lower gaming revenues and a $1.6 million decrease in food, beverage and other revenues partially offset by reduced promotional allowances of $2.9 million and an increase in rooms revenue of $0.5 million. Gaming revenues decreased $2.9 million reflecting a decline in slot revenues of $2.5 million and a decline in table revenues of $0.4 million. Reductions in promotional allowances reflect the impact of decreased gaming revenues, as well as reductions in hotel room, food and beverage comps, and promotional offers to less profitable customer segments. The increase in hotel room revenue reflects the beneficial effects of improving our hotel room yield.

The decrease in operating costs is due to decreases in: payroll expenses of $2.0 million; promotional expenses of $0.8 million; marketing costs of $0.7 million; provisions for uncollectible accounts of $0.7 million; and gaming tax expense of $0.4 million corresponding to lower casino revenues.

Trump Marina – Income from operations decreased by $9.5 million due to a $5.5 million decrease in net revenues and a $4.0 million increase in operating expenses. Net revenues decreased due to a $6.0 million decline in gaming revenues and a $0.4 million increase in promotional allowances, partially offset by a $0.9 million net increase in rooms, food and beverage and other revenues. Gaming revenues decreased $6.0 million due to a $5.7 million decline in slot revenues and a $0.3 million decrease in table games revenues.

The increase in operating expenses was due to: a $1.7 million beneficial settlement with the SJTA during 2006; increases in promotional expenses of $1.2 million; and increased depreciation expense of $0.8 million.

Corporate and Development – Corporate and development expenses decreased $1.6 million to $6.2 million from $7.8 million principally due to reductions in development costs of $1.5 million and payroll and related costs of $0.9 million offset by a $0.8 million increase in professional fees and other corporate expenses.

Our other overall costs were as follows:

Interest Income – Interest income was $2.2 million during three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Interest Expense – Interest expense of $33.5 million and $32.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was net of capitalized interest of $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. While net interest expense remained relatively unchanged, components of interest expense reflect increases primarily associated with increased borrowings under the Credit Facility and decreased interest expense reflecting repayment of capital lease obligations.

Provision for Income Taxes – The 2007 income tax provision does not include a current state income tax provision due to the lapsing of state legislation requiring an alternative minimum tax assessment in 2006. There was no charge in lieu of income taxes recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The provision in 2006 includes a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $1.6 million and a current state income tax provision of $1.2 million.

Comparison of Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Each of our properties’ operating results were as follows:

Trump Taj Mahal – Gaming revenues decreased $11.8 million resulting primarily from a $18.2 million decline in slot revenues partially offset by an increase in table and other gaming revenues of $6.4 million. Net revenues declined $5.8 million due to the lower gaming revenues, a $0.6 million decrease in food and beverage revenues and a $2.1 million decrease in other revenues, partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in promotional allowances and a $1.8 million increase in hotel room revenues. The decrease in promotional allowances and food and beverage revenues reflects reductions in promotional offers to less profitable customer segments, as well as the decrease in gaming activity. The decrease in other revenues reflects year over year changes in our entertainment offerings. The increase in hotel room revenue reflects the beneficial effects of improving our hotel room yield.

Although net revenues decreased $5.8 million, income from operations increased $3.5 million due to a $9.3 million reduction in operating costs. Changes in operating expenses included decreases in: payroll and related costs of $6.9 million; entertainment expenses of $5.9 million; and depreciation expense of $3.6 million, offset by: increases in advertising and marketing costs of $4.2 million, primarily associated with TrumpONE; provisions for uncollectible accounts of $1.2 million, associated with the growth in our table games revenues; and increases in other costs and expenses of $1.7 million. The lower depreciation expense was primarily due to certain fixed assets being fully depreciated as of the end of 2006.

Trump Plaza – Gaming revenues decreased $14.8 million reflecting a decline in slot revenues of $15.1 million and an increase in table revenues of $0.3 million. Net revenues decreased $5.3 million principally due to the lower gaming revenues and decreases in food, beverage and other revenues of $3.4 million, partially offset by reduced promotional allowances of $10.3 million and an increase in rooms revenue of $2.6 million. 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.

Although net revenues decreased by $5.3 million, income from operations increased by $1.7 million due to a $7.0 million decrease in operating costs. The lower costs and expenses were primarily due to decreases in: payroll expenses of $5.0 million; marketing costs of $0.9 million; and gaming tax expense of $0.9 million corresponding to the lower gaming revenues.

Trump Marina – Income from operations decreased $17.0 million due to an $11.4 million decrease in net revenues and a $5.6 million increase in operating costs. Net revenues decreased due to a $12.4 million decrease in gaming revenues and a $0.5 million increase in promotional allowances, partially offset by increases in rooms revenues of $0.7 million and food, beverage and other revenues of $0.8 million. The decrease in gaming revenues reflects a $12.1 million decrease in slot revenues and a $0.3 million decrease in table and other gaming revenues.

The increase in operating costs was primarily due to a net increase in promotional expenses of $3.8 million associated with the TrumpONE program and other promotional activities, and increased depreciation expense of $1.5 million. In addition, a $1.7 million beneficial settlement with the SJTA was recognized during 2006. These increases were partially offset by payroll reductions of $1.6 million.

Corporate and Development – Corporate and development expenses decreased $0.7 million to $24.0 million from $24.7 million due to a $3.4 million decrease in development expenses and a $1.3 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 and a $0.9 million increase in severance costs.

Our other overall costs were as follows:

Interest Income – Interest income decreased by $2.5 million from the comparable period in 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 $97.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $97.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was net of capitalized interest of $2.6 million and $0.5 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 under the Credit Facility and decreased interest expense reflecting the repayment of capital lease obligations.

Provision for Income Taxes – The provision for income taxes in 2007 reflects a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $0.2 million. The provision in 2006 includes a non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $2.1 million and a current state income tax provision of $3.5 million. The 2007 income tax provision does not include a current state income tax provision due to the lapsing of state legislation requiring an alternative minimum tax assessment in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we generated $75.8 million in cash flows from operating activities compared to $42.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in cash flows from operations is principally a result of changes in working capital requirements.

Cash flow used in investing activities was $246.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $83.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Significant investing activities for 2007 include capital expenditures of $175.8 million, including $46.2 million for the Trump Taj Mahal hotel tower construction, and a net decrease in our restricted cash of $58.1 million, while the majority of investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were capital expenditures. Our increase in restricted cash reflects $147.4 million in funds borrowed under our delayed draw term loan, which is 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 September 30, 2007 of $61.9 million and 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our cash flows provided by financing activities of $159.3 million consisted of borrowings under the revolving Credit Facility and delayed draw term loan of $23.0 million and $147.4 million, respectively, and repayments of $8.5 million of our capital lease obligations and $1.9 million of our outstanding term loans. Our financing activities for 2006 included repayments of $22.8 million of our capital lease obligations and $1.1 million of outstanding term loans. We also paid $0.4 million and $2.7 million in partnership distributions to Mr. Trump during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

At September 30, 2007, we had approximately $89.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition to our cash and cash equivalents, we had $85.5 million in cash which is restricted to fund the construction of the new tower at Trump Taj Mahal.

We continue to review our capital program in order to preserve capital structure flexibility and have modified our previously announced $250 million renovation capital program to approximately $190 million. Estimated future capital expenditures related to planned renovation capital projects and the Taj Mahal tower are as follows (in millions):


	Costs Incurred to Date		Quarter Ending December 31, 2007		Thereafter		Approximate Total
Renovation and retheming	$	165	$	20 -25	$	0 -5	$	190
Taj Mahal tower		68		25 - 30		155 -165		255

We expect maintenance capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2007 to be approximately $20 million.

Cash flows from the operating activities of our casino properties along with borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility generally constitute our primary sources of liquidity. Since our reorganization, our cash flows have generally been sufficient to fund operations and make interest payments when due. Our ability to meet our operating and debt service obligations, and the timing of our capital expenditures depend on a number of factors including existing cash on hand, cash flows generated by our operating subsidiaries, the impact of competition on our operating results and maintaining compliance with our debt covenants. In addition, if we decide to pursue additional capital projects, we will need to obtain additional financing in the future.

Under the terms of our 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. In addition, we must comply with certain financial covenants, including the ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, consolidated first lien debt to EBITDA and EBITDA to cash interest expense.

At September 30, 2007, there was $23.0 million outstanding under our revolving Credit Facility and $293.3 million of term loans outstanding under our Credit Facility. We also had outstanding $1,249.0 million of Senior Notes.

Outstanding letters of credit, which reduce available borrowings under the Credit Facility, totaled $8.0 million. As of November 9, 2007, subject to the limitations imposed by our debt incurrence covenant, remaining availability under the Credit Facility was approximately $58.0 million.

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 CCC.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations, as of September 30, 2007, mature as follows (in millions):


	One year and less		2-3 years		4-5 years		After 5 years		Total
Long-term debt	$	3.0	$	29.0	$	284.3	$	1,249.0	$	1,565.3
Interest on long-term debt (1)		131.9		262.1		248.8		283.1		925.9
Construction commitments (2)		147.0		23.0		—		—		170.0

Total	$	294.4	$	331.9	$	541.4	$	1,610.5	$	2,778.2

(1)	Estimated interest payments on long-term debt are based on principal amounts outstanding, required principal repayments and interest rates at September 30, 2007.

(2)	Construction commitments include amounts due under the Right of First Offer Agreement, as amended and restated, between the Company and Trump Organization LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Trump.

(3)	Represents obligations under a services agreement between the Company and Mr. Trump.

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.

Critical Accounting Estimates

General – Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require 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 had approximately $225.9 million of goodwill and $203.7 million of intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet at September 30, 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. Future events, such as the failure to meet or exceed our operating plans, increased competition, the enactment of increased gaming or 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.

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 September 30, 2007, we had approximately $1,672.4 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. Future 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. 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 impairment charges for these assets.

TrumpONE Liability – Our unified player’s program, TrumpONE, allows customers to accumulate certain point-based rewards based on the volume of their gaming activity. TrumpONE customers may earn comp 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 September 30, 2007, $6.5 million was accrued related to comp dollars and $2.1 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 TrumpONE 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 on 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.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity rates. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt. We attempt to manage our interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed rate and variable rate borrowings.

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, except capitalized lease obligations.


	Remainder of 2007			2008			2009			2010			2011			Therafter			Total
Fixed rate debt maturities	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	1,249.0		$	1,249.0
Average interest rate		8.5	%		8.5	%		8.5	%		8.5	%		8.5	%		8.5	%
Variable rate debt maturities	$	0.8		$	3.0		$	3.0		$	26.0		$	3.0		$	280.5		$	316.3
Average interest rate		7.9	%		7.9	%		7.9	%		7.9	%		7.9	%		7.9	%

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.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
