ARCHON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010, and 2009

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

The primary business operations of Archon Corporation (the Company or Archon) are conducted through a wholly-owned
subsidiary corporation, Pioneer Hotel Inc. (PHI), which operates the Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall (the Pioneer) in Laughlin, Nevada. In addition, the Company owns real estate on Las Vegas Boulevard South (the
Strip) in Las Vegas, Nevada, currently rented. It also owns rental properties in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts and in Gaithersburg, Maryland which are both currently rented.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by management of the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations under Regulation S-X of the SEC; management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the current three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for the full fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, from which the balance sheet information as of that date is derived.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share. The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10,
Earnings per Share. FASB ASC 260-10 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for
the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Dilutive stock options of
approximately 741,000 were not included in calculations of diluted income per common share for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2010, as the options were out of the money and, therefore, would be anti-dilutive.

Uninsured Deposits. At various times during the period and subsequently, the Company maintained
account balances that exceeded federally insured limits, and the risk of losses related to such concentrations of bank deposits may be increasing as a result of economic developments affecting financial institutions.

Investment in Marketable Securities. Debt securities available-for-sale are stated at fair
market value with unrealized gains or losses determined by the specific identification method and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Debt securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2010 includes investments in
corporate bonds.

included shares of common and preferred stocks.

Revenue Recognition. Casino revenue is recorded as gaming wins less losses. Hotel, food
and beverage, entertainment and other operating revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Casino revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives in accordance with FASB ASC 605-50, Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments and
Incentives. Accordingly, cash incentives to customers for gambling, and the cash value of points and coupons earned by the slot club members totaling $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, have been recognized as a
direct reduction of casino revenue.

Advance deposits on rooms, if any, are recorded as deferred revenue until services are
provided to the customer. Revenues include the retail amount of room, food, beverage and other services provided gratuitously to customers totaling $2.4 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The estimated cost of providing these promotional services has been reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as an expense of each department granting complimentary services. The table below summarizes the departments
costs of such services (amounts in thousands):



|                  |  |           |       |           |   |

Rental revenue from the Dorchester rental property
held for investment is recognized as earned on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. When rental payments received exceed rents earned and recognized, the difference is recorded as deferred rental income in the current liabilities
section of the balance sheet, and conversely, when rents earned and recognized exceed rental payments received, the difference is recorded as other assets. Rental revenue from the Las Vegas Strip property is recognized as earned.

Concentrations. The Companys primary operations are concentrated in the geographic area of Laughlin, Nevada
and in the hotel and casino industry. As a result, the Company is at risk of unfavorable changes in general economic conditions including recession, economic slowdown, or higher fuel or other transportation costs. These factors may reduce disposable
income of casino patrons or result in fewer patrons visiting casinos.

The Company owns real estate on the Las Vegas Strip in
Las Vegas, Nevada and on the East Coast of the United States. Although the Company is presently not dependent on cash flows from these properties, a significant decline in real estate values in these markets could have an impact on the
Companys ability to readily generate cash flow from the real estate.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years
consolidated financial statements to conform to the classifications used in fiscal 2010.

Consolidated Statements of
Operations. A new line item was added allowing the separation of the gain or (loss) on sale of marketable securities from interest and other income. These changes did not change the net income or earnings per share. The property
reclassified from rental property held for investment to property held for sale is reflected as discontinued operations net of tax in both years for comparison purposes.

Other minor reclassifications were made throughout the remaining schedules, all without any change to the overall total numbers

2. FEDERAL INCOME TAX

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and
those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable
to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is more likely than not.

3. RELATED PARTIES

The Companys Chairman of the Board and CEO has personally guaranteed certain loans for which the Company has accrued a loan
guarantee fee equal to 0.5% of the guaranteed loan balance per calendar quarter. These loan fees were disclosed in the annual report for fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Mr. Lowden has agreed to forgo payment of the loan fees which
were accrued prior to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Accordingly, loan guarantee fees accrued prior to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, in the amount of $0.3 million, has been transferred to additional paid in capital,
with a corresponding reduction in the remaining amount accrued. The accrual increased slightly during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 with no significant change from the remaining $0.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

The Company is subject to a Patent Rights and Royalty Agreement with the brother of the Companys Chairman of the Board
and CEO with respect to certain gaming technology for which he had been issued a patent. The Company agreed to pay certain royalty payments with respect to the technology incorporated into gaming devices placed in operation, as well as costs related
to maintain the patent. The patentholder granted the Company an exclusive five-year royalty license that expired in January 2007 in the United States with respect to the technology, but which automatically renewed until 2011 and will renew for an
additional two-year term unless the Company terminates the agreement. The Company also has an understanding with the related party patentholder that it will pay for the costs of commercial development of the technology. Through September 30,
2009, the Company had expended approximately $0.4 million for commercial development of the technology, and no additional costs were expended during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2010. No royalties were paid to the patentholder during
the periods referenced above.

4. PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT OF GAITHERSBURG PROPERTY

On May 28, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SFHI, LLC (SFHI), entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement (the Agreement) with Montgomery County, Maryland (the County) whereby the County will purchase SFHIs 51.57 acre parcel of land together with an approximately 341,693 square feet office building erected thereon
(the Gaithersburg Property), located at 100 Edison Park Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The purchase price for the Property will be seventy-six million three hundred forty thousand dollars ($76,340,000). The Agreement provided the

Liabilities On Assets Held For Sale. The Company issued
approximately $55.4 million of first mortgage debt with a 7.01% interest rate per annum in connection with its acquisition of a commercial office building located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The building is under lease through April 2014. The monthly
lease payments are applied against the outstanding indebtedness. Monthly principal and interest payments amortize the debt to approximately $22.3 million by the end of the lease in April 2014 and the building is subject to acquisition by the County
before that date. The Company anticipates that the future tenant payments related to the net leases will be sufficient to fund required payments under the first mortgage notes and IRC Section 467 debt. The principal balance due as of
June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $38.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively. The following debt table is related to assets held for sale (amounts in thousands):

5. OPEN MARKET
PURCHASES OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK

During the fiscal years 2009 and 2010, the Company determined that as a result of the
current difficult economic conditions and in light of low interest rates being paid on its deposit of surplus funds, that open market purchase(s) of the Companys own shares, up to 5.0% of its outstanding common stock and 225,000 shares,
respectively, represented a desirable use of its available and surplus cash.

In December 2008 and June 2010, the Board of
Directors of the Company approved the Companys adoption of plans, effective January 5, 2009 and June 30, 2010, for the Company to make periodic and ongoing open market purchases of up to 5.0% of its own common stock (up to 319,539
shares of common stock) and 225,000 shares, respectively, in accordance with Rule 10b-18 (the Rule) of the Rules and Regulations Promulgated Under The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934 (the Act), and, more specifically, in
accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8335 (the Release). The Release is a safe harbor and approved method to make open market purchases of a companys own common stock in compliance with the Rule without those
purchases being deemed manipulative under the Act.

The Rule and Release impose certain specific restrictions on the Company
as to purchases of its own common shares. These include specific restrictions as to timing of open market purchases, manner of purchases, pricing of purchases and when purchases will (and will not) be allowed.

The Rule and Release also mandate certain additional and periodic disclosures that the Company must make concerning the open market
purchases in its Series 10 filings (Report on Forms 10-K and 10-Q).

On January 8, 2010, the Company purchased a grouping
of shares of common stock of the Company sufficient to cause it to effectively reach the maximum shares allotted to be purchased pursuant to the Rule and Release referenced above (when combined with prior program purchases since December 2008). As a
result, the Company, on January 13, 2010, announced the close of the common stock purchase program with an effective date of January 5, 2010.

The open market purchase(s) are intended to be voluntary and there are no assurances that the Company will actually purchase all or any
of its common shares noted above.

The Company is in possession of sufficient and available liquid funds to undertake any open
market purchase(s) of its own shares without the need for additional borrowing. The Company will be utilizing licensed securities broker-dealers to effect any open market purchases.

6. REDEMPTION OF THE
COMPANYS PREFERRED STOCK AND REDEMPTION PRICE DISPUTES

The Company called all outstanding shares of its Exchangeable
Redeemable Preferred Stock for redemption on and as of August 31, 2007, at a redemption price of $5.241 per share, which sum included accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. From and after August 31, 2007, all shares of the
Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock ceased to be outstanding and to accrue dividends. As of August 13, 2010, the holders of 4,261,092 shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment
of the redemption price; while 155,485 shares have yet to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock
unredeemed was $814,897 and $821,259, respectively.

On August 27, 2007, a group of institutional investors filed
an action, in Nevada, against the Company. The Complaint was subsequently amended to add an additional party plaintiff (collectively, the Plaintiffs). The Amended Complaint: (i) seeks a finding by the Court that the Company has
breached its obligations under the Companys Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Stock, dated September 30, 1993 (the Certificate), and awarding the Plaintiffs full compensation of any and all available damages suffered
by the Plaintiffs as a result of the Companys breach of the Certificate; (ii) seeks a finding by the Court that the Companys issuance of its redemption notice with an improper redemption price is an anticipatory breach of a material
term of the Certificate and awarding the Plaintiffs full compensation of any and all available damages suffered as a result of the Companys anticipatory breach of the Certificate; (iii) seeks a declaration by the Court that the dividends
be properly calculated and

compounded per the terms of the Certificate in an amount not less than $7,235,351 up through and including the date of final judgment; (iv) seeks an order from the Court calling for the
Company to reimburse the Plaintiffs attorneys fees, expenses and costs incurred in enforcing their rights; and (v) seeks such other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

The Plaintiffs, thereafter, filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking a ruling from the court that the Company breached its
obligations under the Certificate by calculating the redemption price as it did. The Court granted that motion on August 8, 2008, finding the language of the Certificate to be unambiguous and that the redemption price should have been
calculated differently. The Court has not yet issued a monetary judgment against the Company. Subsequent to the Courts ruling on the motion for partial summary judgment, Plaintiffs filed a motion for entry of final judgment, seeking entry of
judgment that the redemption price for the preferred shares should have been $8.69 per share. At the same time, the Company filed a request for certification asking the Court to certify its partial summary judgment order for immediate interlocutory
appeal. The Court granted the request for certification and denied the request for entry of final judgment without prejudice. The Company filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Ninth Circuit
declined to accept the matter for interlocutory review.

Recently, Plaintiffs have filed a second motion for entry of final
judgment, again seeking entry of judgment that the redemption price for the preferred shares should have been $8.69 per share. The Company has substantively opposed that motion and has urged the Court to reconsider its August 8, 2008 order.
Briefing on Plaintiffs second motion for entry of final judgment has been completed and a hearing was held before the Court and the parties are awaiting a ruling.

The Company has initiated proceedings against a third-party law firm concerning that firms potential liability related to the
drafting of the Certificate of Designation. This third-party action has subsequently been removed by the defendant law firm to Federal Court in April, 2009 and is at an early stage of resolution. The defendant law firm has moved to compel
arbitration of the dispute. The Magistrate Judge issued an order that the matter be referred to arbitration and the District Court confirmed that order. The Company intends to pursue its claims against the defendant law firm in arbitration. The
Company is also considering rights and remedies it may have with regard to other parties who participated in the issuance of the Preferred Stock in the event that the Company does not prevail on its interpretation of the Certificate.

Also, two other holders of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock filed Complaints, both alleging essentially the same claim as the
first complaint related to the case set forth immediately above. If the plaintiffs in these two additional actions are correct, the redemption price as of August 31, 2007 should have been $8.69 per share and not $5.241 per share as calculated
by the Company. If applied to all the then outstanding shares of Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, including the shares held by the Companys officers and directors, valuation of the redemption price at $8.69 per share would increase the
redemption price in excess of $15.2 million.

Management is unable to estimate the minimum liability that may be incurred, if
any, as a result of the outcome of each of these lawsuits and, therefore, has made no provision in the financial statements for liability related to these cases.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Companys Stock Option Plan (Plan) provides for the grant of up to 1.4 million shares of its common stock to key
employees. The Plan provides for both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Stock option grants generally vest over a three-year period from the employees hire date. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, zero options were granted. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were approximately 741,500 options, outstanding and exercisable under the Plan. During the third quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no options were exercised.

The outstanding options have expiration dates through 2018 and have an average remaining
life of approximately 7.5 years. The average exercise price of the outstanding options at June 30, 2010 is approximately $28.09.

In December 2008, the Companys Board of Directors authorized and the shareholders approved at the June 15, 2009 annual
meeting, an increase of 250,000 shares in the number of shares available for grant under the Plan.

SFHI Inc., SLVC and PHI
(collectively, the Subsidiaries), have adopted subsidiary stock option plans (the Subsidiary Plans). The Subsidiary Plans provide for the grant of options by each of the Subsidiaries with respect to an aggregate of up to 10%
of the outstanding shares of such Subsidiarys Common Stock to employees, non-employee directors, consultants or affiliates of the Company or the Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Subsidiary Plans is to enable the Subsidiaries and the Company to
attract, retain and motivate their employees, non-employee directors, consultants and affiliates by providing for or increasing the proprietary interest of such persons in the Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2010, no options have been granted
under any of the Subsidiary Plans.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 under all plans:

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This discussion is intended to further the readers understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations
of Archon Corporation (the Company or Archon). It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2009. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of the Companys future performance.

General

Overview of Business Operations and Trends:Historically, the Company, has owned, managed and operated hotel/casino
properties through a number of acquisitions or developments, and it has divested itself of certain of these properties. Presently, the Company operates the Pioneer in Laughlin, Nevada.

The Pioneer has experienced a decline of its revenues over the last few years after experiencing strong revenue and profit growth in the
early 1990s. Management believes the increase in the number of casino properties on Native American lands in such nearby locations as California and Arizona within the last decade has caused revenue declines. In response, the Company has
focused on market definition and development in the local Laughlin area to maintain profitability. Unexpectedly difficult economic conditions impacting customers, including relatively high fuel costs, has significantly reduced disposable income, and
limited customer travel and gaming activity. Management believes Laughlin is a mature market with marginal growth forecasted for the next few years based on its current development plans. Management believes the recent revenue and expense trends in
its Laughlin hotel/casino property may not change significantly over the next few years, or until the current economic conditions and trends begin to materially improve.

The Company also owns rental properties on the East Coast and on the Las Vegas Strip, but revenues from these rental properties are used
to meet their related mortgages and thus do not contribute significant net cash flow to the Company.

Property Held for
Sale

During fiscal year 2001, the Company acquired certain properties as part of an IRS Section 1031 exchange. The
property held for sale is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland (the Gaithersburg Property). The Company acquired the Gaithersburg Property and nonrecourse debt associated with the Gaithersburg Property which is subject to a long-term lease.
A tenant remits payment to the bank according to the terms of the lease and note. The payments are used to liquidate the nonrecourse debt obligations. Rental income is recorded by the Company on a straight-line basis and totals approximately $5.6
million annually and will remain at this level until approximately 2014 or until the asset is sold, otherwise disposed of or becomes impaired. The buildings on the Gaithersburg Property are no longer being depreciated subsequent to the
classification being changed from a rental property held for investment to a property held for sale. Interest expense is also recorded based on the outstanding nonrecourse debt remaining to be paid based on unamortized loan issue costs and remaining
debt

amortization timetables. At any time during the term of the lease and debt amortization, the fair market value of the Gaithersburg Property may be different from its book values. Interest is
presently being expensed at approximately $2.9 million annually and will decrease in relation to debt principal reductions through 2014 or until the asset is sold, otherwise disposed of or becomes impaired.

On May 28, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SFHI, LLC (SFHI), entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement (the Agreement) with Montgomery County, Maryland (the County) whereby the County will purchase SFHIs 51.57 acre parcel of land together with an approximately 341,693 square feet office building erected thereon
comprising the Gaithersburg Property, located at 100 Edison Park Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The purchase price for the Gaithersburg Property will be seventy-six million three hundred forty thousand dollars ($76,340,000). The Agreement provided
the County with a 90-day feasibility period during which the County determined that the Gaithersburg Property is suitable for its intended use, and the County will now proceed to close escrow by notifying the Company of the closing date, which date
may be no sooner than 90 days from the date of notice and no later than April 30, 2014.

Simultaneous with the execution
of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the County entered into a sublease with the existing tenant of SFHI at this location, GXS, Inc., whereby the County, as of October 1, 2009, leased and occupied the entire Gaithersburg Property until the
earlier of (i) completion of its purchase of the Gaithersburg Property or (ii) April 30, 2014. Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the existing lease with GXS, Inc., SFHI consented to the sublease. In addition, GXS, Inc. agreed
to pay SFHI the sum of $2,125,000, $1,725,000 of which was paid on October 1, 2009, with the balance of $400,000 being paid on July 1, 2010. Due to the pending sale of the Gaithersburg Property, the related results of operations have been
reported as discontinued operations. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 4, Sale of Gaithersburg Property

Rental Properties Held for Investment

During fiscal year 2001, the Company acquired certain rental property as part of an IRS Section 1031 exchange. The rental property is
located in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts (the Dorchester Property). The Company acquired the Dorchester Property with improvements and nonrecourse debt associated with the Dorchester Property which is subject to a
long-term lease. A tenant remits payments to a bank according to the terms of the lease and note. The payments are used to liquidate the nonrecourse debt obligations. Rental income is recorded by the Company on a straight-line basis and totals
approximately $6.7 million annually and will remain at this level until approximately 2020 or until the asset is sold, otherwise disposed of or becomes impaired. The buildings on the Dorchester Property are also being depreciated on a straight-line
basis and the depreciation expense is approximately $1.7 million annually and will remain at this level until approximately 2041 or until the asset is sold, otherwise disposed of or becomes impaired. Interest expense is also recorded based on the
outstanding nonrecourse debt remaining to be paid based on unamortized loan issue costs and remaining debt amortization timetables. At any time during the term of the lease and debt amortization, the fair market values of the Dorchester Property may
be different from its book value. Interest is presently being expensed at approximately $4.5 million annually and will decrease in relation to debt principal reductions through 2020 or until the asset is sold, otherwise disposed of or becomes
impaired.

The Company owns, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sahara Las Vegas Corp. (SLVC), an approximately
27-acre parcel of land (the Strip Property) located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard South, to the south of Sahara Avenue. The Company presently leases the Strip Property to three different lessees for an aggregate amount of
$35,000 per month. The leases may be terminated in the event the Strip Property is sold or developed by the Company.

On December 22, 2008, SLVC, entered into an Option Agreement with Las Vegas Towers, LLC
(LVT), a Delaware limited liability company, in which SLVC granted LVT an option to purchase SLVCs approximately 27-acre parcel of land located at 2600 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Option Agreement designated the purchase price to acquire the land at $618.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management
evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customer incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, valuation reserves and estimated cash flows in assessing the
recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated liabilities for slot club bonus point programs, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among
others, affects its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company allows for an estimated amount of receivables that may not be
collected. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using a specific formula applied to aged receivables as well as a specific review of large balances. Historical experience is considered, as are customer relationships, in
determining specific reserves.

Long-Lived Assets: The Company has a significant investment in long-lived
property and equipment. Management reviews useful lives and obsolescence and assesses commercial viability of these assets periodically, at least annually. Based on these reviews, management estimates that the undiscounted future cash flows expected
to result from the use of these assets exceeds the current carrying value of these assets. Any adverse change in the estimate of these undiscounted future cash flows could necessitate an impairment charge that would adversely affect operating
results. Management also estimates useful lives for its assets based on historical experience, estimates of assets commercial lives, and the likelihood of technological obsolescence. Should the actual useful life of a class of assets differ
from the estimated useful life, the Company would record an impairment charge. We review useful lives and obsolescence and we assess commercial viability of these assets periodically.

Income Taxes: The Company has recorded deferred tax assets related to
net operating losses as the Company is able to offset these assets with deferred tax liabilities. Realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on the Companys ability to generate profits from operations or from the sale of
long-lived assets that would reverse the temporary differences which established the deferred tax liabilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate profits from operations or sell those assets or will generate profits from sales
if they were to occur in the future. In the event the Company does generate profits from sales of long-lived assets in the future a valuation allowance may need to be recorded, which would impact the Companys future results of operations.
Annualized effective income tax rates for calculating interim period provisions and benefits have been estimated to be not significantly different from the estimated annual effective rate and the statutory rate. Although Financial Accounting
Standards Board, Accounting Standard Codification (FASB ASC) 740-10, Income Taxes, became effective for the year ending September 30, 2008, based on its evaluation, management determined that FASB ASC 740-10 did not have a material
effect on the financial statements or the net operating loss carryovers or the related deferred tax assets or valuation allowance.

Revenue Recognition: Casino revenue is recorded as gaming wins minus losses. Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment
and other operating revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Casino revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives in accordance with FASB ASC 605-50 Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments and Incentives. Accordingly,
cash incentives to customers for gambling, and the cash value of points and coupons earned by the slot club members totaling $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been recognized as a
direct reduction of casino revenue.

Advance deposits on hotel rooms, if any, are recorded as deferred revenue until services
are provided to the customer. Hotel, food and beverage revenues are recognized as the services are performed.

Rental revenue
from rental properties is recognized as earned on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. When rental payments received exceed rents earned and recognized, the difference is recorded as deferred rental income in the current liabilities
section of the balance sheet, and conversely, when rents earned and recognized exceed rental payments received, the difference is recorded as other assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FASB ASC 810-10: In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation. The amendments include:
(1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should
consolidate a variable-interest entity. FASB ASC 810-10 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company will adopt FASB ASC
810-10 during fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB ASC 810-10 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC 860-10: In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860-10, Transfers and Servicing.
FASB ASC 860-10 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of
financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entitys continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. FASB
ASC 860-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt FASB ASC 860-10 during fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB ASC 860-10 will have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC 815-10: In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815-10,
Derivative Instruments and Hedging. FASB ASC 815-10, which will require enhanced disclosures regarding the impact on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows, is effective for the Company beginning on October 1, 2009.
However, since the Company does not now have, nor does it contemplate issuing or obtaining any derivative instruments, or engaging in any hedging activities, in the foreseeable future, we do not currently expect any effect on our future
financial statements by adopting FASB ASC 815-10.

FASB ASC 810-10: In December 2007, the FASB
issued FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation. It requires that a noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary, including a consolidatable variable interest entity should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC
810-10 will not likely have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements since we do not presently have and are not contemplating investing in, establishing or acquiring a subsidiary with a noncontrolling interest. FASB
ASC 810-10 is effective, if applicable, for the Companys fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.

FASB ASC
820-10 and 825-10: In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10, Fair Value Measurements. FASB ASC 810-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10, Financial Instruments, which will permit the option of choosing to measure certain eligible items at fair
value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. We have no present intention of opting to adopt FASB ASC 810-10. FASB ASC 810-10 is effective for the Company for financial assets and liabilities carried at
fair value for fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 but will not become effective for nonfinancial assets until fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 (including interim periods within those years). We do not now expect any other effects of
FASB ASC 810-10 since it is unlikely that we will choose to value assets or liabilities at fair value.

The Company is required to make the following cash
interest payments related to the foregoing debt obligations: (i) Non-recourse debt  $1.0 million (2010), $3.8 million (2011), $3.8 million (2012), $3.8 million (2013), $3.8 million (2014) and $21.9 million (2015 and thereafter); and
(ii) Long-term debt  $0.1 million (2010), $0 million (2011), $0 million (2012), $0 million (2013), $0 million (2014) and $0 million (2015 and thereafter); and (iii) Discontinued Operations debt  $0.7 million (2010), $2.5
million (2011), $2.3 million (2012), $2.0 million (2013), $1.1 million (2014) and $0 million (2015 and thereafter).

The
Company has no significant purchase commitments or obligations other than those included in the above table.

The
Companys ability to service its contractual obligations and commitments, other than the nonrecourse debt, will be dependent on the future performance of the Pioneer, which will be affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions
and financial, business and other factors, including competitive pressure from the expansion of Native American gaming facilities in the southwest United States, certain of which factors are beyond the Companys control. In addition, the
Company will be dependent on the continued ability of the tenants in the rental property in the Dorchester Section of Boston, Massachusetts, and the property held for sale in Gaithersburg, Maryland, to make payments pursuant to the leases with the
Company. The payments under the leases are contractually committed to be used to make payments on the Companys nonrecourse debt obligations related to the Dorchester Property and Gaithersburg Property, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Mortgage Note Obligation. The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, SLVC, secured and maintains a $15.0 million line of
credit loan granted by a Nevada bank. The loan and promissory note, secured by deed of trust on SLVCs approximate 27 acre parcel of land on Las Vegas Boulevard South (the Strip

Property), are for a period of one year commencing November 15, 2009, and ending November 14, 2010. The line of credit loan is revolving and is subject to additional lending
requirements. The line of credit loan in the amount of $7.9 million at the end of the fiscal year is reported as a current liability. The initial advance under the line of credit loan was used to pay in full the previous line of credit loan secured
by the Strip Property. The SLVC line of credit loan is guaranteed by SLVC and the Company, as well as, personally guaranteed by Paul W. Lowden, President of SLVC, and by Suzanne Lowden, Secretary/Treasurer of SLVC.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $14.2 million compared to $31.6 million at
September 30, 2009. The Company had $15.4 million in investment in marketable securities at June 30, 2010 compared to $6.0 million at September 30, 2009. The Dorchester Property and the Strip Property are structured such that
future tenants payments cover future required mortgage payments including any balloon payments. Management believes that the Company will have sufficient available cash and cash resources to meet its cash requirements for a reasonable period
of time.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. The Companys cash used for operating activities was $4.5
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $9.5 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2010, as compared to $2.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. In the current year period, the company paid $0.1 million for capital improvements at the Pioneer, and $12.2 million for marketable securities
which were offset by the sale of $2.8 million in marketable securities. In the prior year period, the Company paid $1.2 million for capital improvements at the Pioneer, and $2.8 million for marketable securities which were offset by the
sale of $1.9 million in marketable securities.

Cash Used in Financing Activities. Cash used in financing
activities was $3.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. In the current year period, $0.1 million was provided by proceeds from line of credit, and $4.0
million was used for the purchase of common stock for retirement. In the prior year period, $0.9 million was used for debt payments, and approximately $0.3 million for the purchase of common stock for retirement.

The Companys primary source of operating cash is from the Pioneer operations, from interest income on available cash and cash
equivalents and investments in marketable securities and, to a lesser extent, from net cash generated from the leasing of Strip Property. Rental income from the Companys Dorchester Property and Gaithersburg Property is contractually committed
to reducing the nonrecourse indebtedness issued or assumed in connection with the acquisition of the rental properties. Under the two leases, the tenants are responsible for substantially all obligations related to the respective property. SLVC, an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, owns the 27-acre Strip Property on Las Vegas Boulevard South which is subject to a lease with the adjacent property owner to facilitate development of the adjacent property.

Pioneer

Pioneers principal uses of cash are for payments of slot machine debt obligations, ground lease rent and capital expenditures to
maintain the facility. The Company has implemented changes in personnel and promotional programs and installed new slot equipment to address the decreases in revenues and operating income. One of managements main focuses is to recapture market
share in the Laughlin market. Management, however, can give no assurance that market share will be recaptured in the Laughlin market since its competition in the market typically has greater capital resources than does the Pioneer.

##### Table of Contents

Payments of rent were approximately $0.03 million in each of the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Capital expenditures to maintain the facility in fiscal 2010 are expected to be approximately $0.3 million.

Property Held for Sale

The Gaithersburg Property in Gaithersburg, Maryland is located on 51.57 acres and includes one building with approximately 342,000 square
feet of commercial office space. The Gaithersburg Property was acquired for $62.6 million, plus debt issuance costs of $2.7 million. The Company paid $9.9 million in cash and issued $55.4 million in nonrecourse first mortgage indebtedness. The
Gaithersburg Property is under a net lease through 2014 with a single tenant with an investment grade credit rating. Under the lease, the tenant is responsible for substantially all obligations related to the Gaithersburg Property. The Gaithersburg
Property is under contract to be sold. See Note 4, Purchase and Sale Agreement of Gaithersburg Property

Rental
Properties Held for Investment

The Company acquired rental property in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts in
March 2001. The Dorchester Property is located on 12 acres and includes several buildings with approximately 425,000 square feet of commercial office space. The Dorchester Property was acquired for approximately $82.4 million plus $0.5 million in
debt issuance costs. The Company paid $5.6 million in cash and assumed $77.3 million in nonrecourse debt associated with the Dorchester Property. The Dorchester Property is under a net lease through 2020 with a single tenant with an investment
grade credit rating. Under the lease, the tenant is responsible for substantially all obligations related to the Dorchester Property.

Termination of Option to Purchase Las Vegas Boulevard Land

On December 22, 2008, SLVC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Archon Corporation, entered into an Option Agreement with Las Vegas Towers,
LLC (LVT), a Delaware limited liability company, in which SLVC granted LVT an option to purchase SLVCs approximately 27-acre parcel of land located at 2600 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada, the Strip Property.

The Option Agreement designated the purchase price to acquire the Strip Property at $618.0 million.

Simultaneous with the execution of the Option Agreement, SLVC executed a Contingent Warrant (the Warrant) to Purchase Series
A Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock), entitling LVT to purchase 60,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of SLVC upon terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant. The designation and amount of the Preferred Stock as well as the
powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of the series of this Preferred Stock and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are set forth in the Certificate of Designation,
Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock (the Certificate) also dated December 22, 2008. Had LVT exercised the Warrant prior to its expiration on April 1, 2009, the Option Agreement would have remained valid until
March 31, 2010. LVT failed to exercise the Warrant before its expiration, thus the Option Agreement terminated on March 31, 2009.

Redemption of the Companys Preferred Stock and Redemption Price Disputes

The Company called all outstanding shares of its Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock for redemption on and as of
August 31, 2007, at a redemption price of $5.241 per share, which sum included accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. From and after August 31, 2007, all shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock ceased to be
outstanding and to accrue dividends. As of August 7, 2010, the holders of 4,261,092 shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price; while 155,485 shares have yet
to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock unredeemed was $814,897 and $821,259, respectively.

On August 27, 2007, a group of institutional investors filed an action, in Nevada, against the Company. The Complaint
was subsequently amended to add an additional party plaintiff (collectively, the Plaintiffs). The Amended Complaint: (i) seeks a finding by the Court that the Company has breached its obligations under the Companys Certificate
of Designation of the Preferred Stock, dated September 30, 1993 (the Certificate), and awarding the Plaintiffs full compensation of any and all available damages suffered by the Plaintiffs as a result of the Companys breach of
the Certificate; (ii) seeks a finding by the Court that the Companys issuance of its redemption notice with an improper redemption price is an anticipatory breach of a material term of the Certificate and awarding the Plaintiffs full
compensation of any and all available damages suffered as a result of the Companys anticipatory breach of the Certificate; (iii) seeks a declaration by the Court that the dividends be properly calculated and compounded per the terms of
the Certificate in an amount not less than $7,235,351 up through and including the date of final judgment; (iv) seeks an order from the Court calling for the Company to reimburse the Plaintiffs attorneys fees, expenses and costs
incurred in enforcing their rights; and (v) seeks such other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

The
Plaintiffs, thereafter, filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking a ruling from the court that the Company breached its obligations under the Certificate by calculating the redemption price as it did. The Court granted that motion on
August 8, 2008, finding the language of the Certificate to be unambiguous and that the redemption price should have been calculated differently. The Court has not yet issued a monetary judgment against the Company. Subsequent to the
Courts ruling on the motion for partial summary judgment, Plaintiffs filed a motion for entry of final judgment, seeking entry of judgment that the redemption price for the preferred shares should have been $8.69 per share. At the same time,
the Company filed a request for certification asking the Court to certify its partial summary judgment order for immediate interlocutory appeal. The Court granted the request for certification and denied the request for entry of final judgment
without prejudice. The Company filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Ninth Circuit declined to accept the matter for interlocutory review.

Recently, Plaintiffs have filed a second motion for entry of final judgment, again seeking entry of judgment that the redemption price
for the preferred shares should have been $8.69 per share. The Company has substantively opposed that motion and has urged the Court to reconsider its August 8, 2008 order. Briefing on Plaintiffs second motion for entry of final judgment
has been completed and a hearing was held before the Court and the parties are awaiting a ruling.

The Company has initiated
proceedings against a third-party law firm concerning that firms potential liability related to the drafting of the Certificate of Designation. This third-party action has subsequently been removed by the defendant law firm to Federal Court in
April, 2009 and is at an early stage of resolution. The defendant law firm has moved to compel arbitration of the dispute. The Magistrate Judge issued an order that the matter be referred to arbitration and the District Court confirmed that order.
The Company intends to pursue its claims against the defendant law firm in arbitration. The Company is also considering rights and remedies it may have with regard to other parties who participated in the issuance of the Preferred Stock in the event
that the Company does not prevail on its interpretation of the Certificate.

##### Table of Contents

Also, two other holders of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock filed Complaints,
both alleging essentially the same claim as the first complaint related to the case set forth immediately above. If the plaintiffs in these two additional actions are correct, the redemption price as of August 31, 2007 should have been $8.69
per share and not $5.241 per share as calculated by the Company. If applied to all the then outstanding shares of Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, including the shares held by the Companys officers and directors, valuation of the
redemption price at $8.69 per share would increase the redemption price in excess of $15.2 million.

Management is unable to
estimate the minimum liability that may be incurred, if any, as a result of the outcome of each of these lawsuits and, therefore, has made no provision in the financial statements for liability related to these cases

Effects of Inflation

The Company has been generally successful in recovering costs associated with inflation through price adjustments in its hotel operations.
Any such future increases in costs associated with casino operations and maintenance of properties may not be completely recovered by the Company.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, such as statements
relating to future operating results, existing and expected competition, financing and refinancing sources and availability and plans for future development or expansion activities, capital expenditures and expansion of business operations into new
areas. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may significantly affect the Companys liquidity and results in the future and, accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those related to effects of competition, leverage and debt service, general economic conditions, changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the
legalization of gaming in various jurisdictions) and risks related to development activities and the startup of non-gaming operations.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates
and commodity process. Excluding its nonrecourse debt, the Company has total interest-bearing debt at June 30, 2010 of approximately $8.0 million, of which approximately $8.0 million bears interest at a variable rate (approximately 6% at
June 30, 2010). Therefore, the Company maintains certain market rate risk related to this debt. A change in the interest rates of 1% would cause an approximate $0.1 million change in the amount of interest the Company would incur based on the
amount of variable-interest rate debt outstanding for any current or future year in which this debt is outstanding. Future borrowings related to this debt will be exposed to this same market rate risk.

The Company holds investments in various available-for-sale securities; however, management believes that exposure to price risk arising
from the ownership of these investments is not material to the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow as historically price fluctuations of these securities have not been material.

|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over financial reporting was conducted based on the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, the Companys management concluded that the Companys control over financial reporting was effective.

Changes in Internal Controls:

As part of our normal operations, we update our internal controls as necessary to accommodate any modifications to our business processes
or accounting procedures. There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect these internal controls as of the end of the period covered by
this report.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls over financial reporting can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate

ARCHON CORPORATION

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

Mercury Real
Estate Securities Fund, LP and Mercury Real Estate Securities Offshore Limited v. Archon Corporation:

The Company
called all outstanding shares of its Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock for redemption on and as of August 31, 2007, at a redemption price of $5.241 per share, which sum included accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. From
and after August 31, 2007, all shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock ceased to be outstanding and to accrue dividends. As of August 7, 2010, the holders of 4,261,092 shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price; while 155,485 shares have yet to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009,
exchangeable redeemable preferred stock unredeemed was $814,897 and $821,259, respectively.

On August 27, 2007, a
group of institutional investors filed an action, in Nevada, against the Company. The Complaint was subsequently amended to add an additional party plaintiff (collectively, the Plaintiffs). The Amended Complaint: (i) seeks a finding
by the Court that the Company has breached its obligations under the Companys Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Stock, dated September 30, 1993 (the Certificate), and awarding the Plaintiffs full compensation of any
and all available damages suffered by the Plaintiffs as a result of the Companys breach of the Certificate; (ii) seeks a finding by the Court that the Companys issuance of its redemption notice with an improper redemption price is
an anticipatory breach of a material term of the Certificate and awarding the Plaintiffs full compensation of any and all available damages suffered as a result of the Companys anticipatory breach of the Certificate; (iii) seeks a
declaration by the Court that the dividends be properly calculated and compounded per the terms of the Certificate in an amount not less than $7,235,351 up through and including the date of final judgment; (iv) seeks an order from the Court
calling for the Company to reimburse the Plaintiffs attorneys fees, expenses and costs incurred in enforcing their rights; and (v) seeks such other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

The Plaintiffs, thereafter, filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking a ruling from the court that the Company breached its
obligations under the Certificate by calculating the redemption price as it did. The Court granted that motion on August 8, 2008, finding the language of the Certificate to be unambiguous and that the redemption price should have been
calculated differently. The Court has not yet issued a monetary judgment against the Company. Subsequent to the Courts ruling on the motion for partial summary judgment, Plaintiffs filed a motion for entry of final judgment, seeking entry of
judgment that the redemption price for the preferred shares should have been $8.69 per share. At the same time, the Company filed a request for certification asking the Court to certify its partial summary judgment order for immediate interlocutory
appeal. The Court granted the request for certification and denied the request for entry of final judgment without prejudice. The Company filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Ninth Circuit
declined to accept the matter for interlocutory review.

Recently, Plaintiffs have filed a second motion for entry of final
judgment, again seeking entry of judgment that the redemption price for the preferred shares should have been $8.69 per share. The Company has substantively opposed that motion and has urged the Court to reconsider its August 8, 2008 order.
Briefing on Plaintiffs second motion for entry of final judgment has been completed and a hearing was held before the Court and the parties are awaiting a ruling.

##### Table of Contents

The Company has initiated proceedings against a third-party law firm concerning that
firms potential liability related to the drafting of the Certificate of Designation. This third-party action has subsequently been removed by the defendant law firm to Federal Court in April, 2009 and is at an early stage of resolution. The
defendant law firm has moved to compel arbitration of the dispute. The Magistrate Judge issued an order that the matter be referred to arbitration and the District Court confirmed that order. The Company intends to pursue its claims against the
defendant law firm in arbitration. The Company is also considering rights and remedies it may have with regard to other parties who participated in the issuance of the Preferred Stock in the event that the Company does not prevail on its
interpretation of the Certificate.

Also, two other holders of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock filed Complaints,
both alleging essentially the same claim as the first complaint related to the case set forth immediately above. If the plaintiffs in these two additional actions are correct, the redemption price as of August 31, 2007 should have been $8.69
per share and not $5.241 per share as calculated by the Company. If applied to all the then outstanding shares of Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, including the shares held by the Companys officers and directors, valuation of the
redemption price at $8.69 per share would increase the redemption price in excess of $15.2 million.

Management is unable to
estimate the minimum liability that may be incurred, if any, as a result of the outcome of each of these lawsuits and, therefore, has made no provision in the financial statements for liability related to these cases.
