PART I



|Item 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

General

Archon Corporation, (the Company or Archon), is a Nevada corporation. The
Companys primary business operations 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, and properties in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts and Gaithersburg, Maryland. (See Rental Properties)

Through the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) website, at http://www.sec.gov/ the Companys annual
report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchanges Act, are made available free of charge, as soon
as reasonably practical after such information has been filed or furnished to the SEC.

The principal executive office of the
Company is located at 2200 Casino Drive, Laughlin, Nevada, 89029, and the telephone number is (702) 
732-9120.

Hotel and Casino Operations

The Pioneer

The Pioneer, built in 1982, features a classical western architecture style, and is located in Laughlin, Nevada, an unincorporated town on the Colorado River bordering Arizona. The Pioneer is located on
approximately 12 acres of land, with Colorado River frontage of approximately 770 feet, and is situated near the center of Laughlins Casino Drive. Approximately
61/2acres of the 12 acres are leased pursuant to a
99-year ground lease (the Ground Lease) which, by its terms, is scheduled to terminate in December 2078. The leased land lies between and separates the remaining two parcels of land that are held in fee simple. The Pioneer is comprised
of four buildings. One of the three motel buildings together with a portion of both the Pioneers casino building and a second motel building are located on land subject to the Ground Lease. The casino is located in the main building, totaling
approximately 50,000 square feet, of which approximately 21,500 square feet house the casino. The first floor includes the casino, two bars, snack bar and gift shop, as well as a twenty-four hour restaurant, kitchen, special events area, restrooms
and storage areas. The first floor also includes a Luckys Sports Book operated by Brandywine Bookmaking, a tenant. A partial second floor houses administrative offices and banquet rooms. The three motel buildings were built in 1984 and
comprise approximately 66,000, 54,000 and 30,000 square feet, respectively. A total of 416 motel rooms are housed in the three buildings with improvements including a swimming pool and spa.

Revenues. The primary source of revenues to the Companys hotel-casino operations is gaming, which represented
approximately 80% in 2010 and 79% in 2009 of total revenues. The Pioneer contributed 100% in fiscal 2010 and 2009 to total gaming revenues. As of September 30, 2010, the

##### Table of Contents

Pioneer had approximately 686 slot machines, six blackjack tables (21), one craps table, one roulette wheel and five other gaming tables. In addition, the Pioneer offered keno in
fiscal 2009, but has subsequently ceased offering keno as of November 30, 2009.

Market. The Pioneer
targets primarily mature, out-of-town customers residing in Central Arizona and Southern California; retirees who reside in the Northeast and Midwest United States and Canada and travel to the Southwest United States during the winter months and
local residents who reside in Laughlin, Nevada, and in Bullhead City, Kingman and Lake Havasu, Arizona, and in Needles, California. The average occupancy rates at the Pioneer were approximately 31% and 35% in fiscal years 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

Business Strategy. The Pioneer attempts to attract and retain customers by offering slot and
video poker machine payouts that compare favorably to the competition. A visible means used by the Pioneer to accomplish this marketing program is to offer what management believes to be a large number of quarter video poker machines with liberal
theoretical pay outs, compared to other casinos in Laughlin. The Pioneer periodically sponsors detailed product research of its competitors to categorize the number and type of video poker games by payouts and monitors changes in game products to
assist it in developing competitive products.

The Pioneer has a program called the Round-Up Club (the
Club) established to encourage repeat business from frequent and active slot and table game customers. A member of the Club accumulates points in the members account for play on slot machines and table games that can be redeemed
for cash, free gifts, food and beverages and additional points redeemable for free play. Pioneer management also uses the Club membership list for direct mail marketing.

Management and Personnel

As of December 9, 2010 the Company employed
11 executive and administrative personnel and the Pioneer employed approximately 310 persons.

Competition

In addition to competing with the hotel-casinos in Laughlin, the Pioneer also competes with the hotel-casinos in Las Vegas and those
situated on Interstate-15 (the principal highway between Las Vegas and Southern California) near the California-Nevada state line. In March 2000, California voters approved an amendment to the California constitution that permits compacts allowing
Native American tribes to operate in excess of 100,000 slot machines in addition to banked card games and lotteries. Management believes that Native American casinos in Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico have had an adverse impact on the
Laughlin market, including the Pioneer, by drawing visitors away from the market.

Assets Held for
Sale

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

##### Table of Contents

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
County with a 90-day feasibility period during which the County determined that the 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 Property until the earlier of (i) completion of
its purchase of the 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 paid on July 1, 2010. Due to the pending sale of this property, the related results of operations have been reported as discontinued operations.

The property in Gaithersburg, Maryland is located on 51 acres and includes one building with approximately 342,000 square feet of
commercial office space. The 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 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 property. The Gaithersburg, Maryland, property is under contract to be sold.
See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 5, Sale of Gaithersburg Property.

Properties

Rental Properties

The Company acquired rental properties in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts and Gaithersburg, Maryland in March 2001. The
Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts property is located on 12 acres and includes several buildings with approximately 425,000 square feet of commercial office space. The 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 property. The 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 property.

Properties

The Company owns, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sahara Las Vegas Corp.
(SLVC), an approximately 27-acre parcel of land (the Property) located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard South, just south of Sahara Avenue. The Company presently leases the Property to two different lessees for an
aggregate amount of $9,500 per month. The leases may be terminated in the event the property is sold or developed by the Company.

Nevada Regulations and Licensing

The Company and PHI (collectively, the Archon Group) are subject to extensive state and local regulation by the Nevada Gaming
Commission (the Commission), the Nevada State Gaming Control Board (the Board) and in the case of PHI, the Clark County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board (collectively the Nevada Gaming Authorities).

The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Nevada Gaming Authorities seek (i) to prevent unsavory or unsuitable persons
from having any direct or indirect involvement with gaming at any time or in any capacity, (ii) to establish and maintain responsible accounting practices and procedures, (iii) to maintain effective control over the financial practices of
licensees, including establishing minimum procedures for internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of assets and revenues, providing reliable record-keeping and making periodic reports to the Nevada Gaming Authorities, (iv) to prevent
cheating and fraudulent practices and (v) to provide a source of state and local revenues through taxation and licensing fees. Changes in such laws, regulations and procedures could have an adverse effect on any or all of the members of the
Archon Group. Management believes the Archon Group is in compliance with regulations promulgated by the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

Licensing and Registration. PHI holds Nevada State gaming licenses to operate the Pioneer. The Company has been approved by the Nevada Gaming Authorities to own, directly or indirectly, a
beneficial interest in PHI.

The licenses held by members of the Archon Group are not transferable. Each issuing agency may at
any time revoke, suspend, condition, limit or restrict licenses or approvals to own a beneficial interest in PHI for any cause deemed reasonable by such agency. Any failure to retain a valid license or approval would have a material adverse effect
on all members of the Archon Group.

If it is determined that PHI or, when applicable, new members of the Archon Group, have
violated the Nevada laws or regulations relating to gaming, PHI or, when applicable, new members of the Archon Group, could, under certain circumstances, be fined and the licenses of PHI or, when applicable, new members of the Archon Group, could
also be limited, conditioned, revoked or suspended. A violation under any of the licenses held by the Company, or PHI or, when applicable, new members of the Archon Group, may be deemed a violation of all the other licenses held by the Company and
PHI or, when applicable, new members of the Archon Group. If the Commission does petition for a supervisor to manage the affected casino and hotel facilities, the suspended or former licensees shall not receive any earnings of the gaming
establishment until approved by the court, and after deductions for the costs of the supervisors operation and expenses and amounts necessary to establish a reserve fund to facilitate continued operation in light of any pending litigation,
disputed claims, taxes, fees and other contingencies known to the supervisor which may require payment. The supervisor is authorized to offer the gaming establishment for sale if requested by the suspended or former licensee, or without such a
request after six months after the date the license was suspended, revoked or not renewed.

Individual
Licensing. Certain stockholders, directors, officers and key employees of corporate gaming licensees must be licensed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. An application for licensing of an individual may be denied for any cause deemed
reasonable by the issuing agency. Changes in licensed positions must be reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. In addition to its authority to deny an application for an individual license, the Nevada Gaming Authorities have jurisdiction to
disapprove a change in corporate position. If the Nevada Gaming Authorities were to find any such person unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue to have a relationship with a corporate licensee, such licensee would have to suspend,
dismiss and sever all relationships with such person. Such corporate licensee would have similar obligations with regard to any person who refuses to file appropriate applications, who is denied licensing following the filing of an application or
whose license is revoked. Each gaming employee must obtain a work permit which may be revoked upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

---

##### Table of Contents

Any individual who is found to have a material relationship or a material involvement with a
gaming licensee may be investigated to be found suitable or to be licensed. The finding of suitability is comparable to licensing and requires submission of detailed financial information and a full investigation. Key employees, controlling persons
or others who exercise significant influence upon the management or affairs of a gaming licensee may be deemed to have such a relationship or involvement.

Beneficial owners of more than 10% of the voting securities of a corporation or partner interests of a partnership registered with the Nevada Gaming Authorities that is publicly traded (a
Registered Entity) must be found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, and any person who acquires more than 5% of the voting securities or partner interests, as the case may be, of a Registered Entity must report the acquisition to
the Nevada Gaming Authorities in a filing similar to the beneficial ownership filings required by the Federal securities laws. Under certain circumstances an institutional investor, as such term is defined in the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the
regulations of the Commission and Board (collectively, the Nevada Gaming Regulations), that acquires more than 10% of the Companys voting securities may apply to the Commission for a waiver of such finding of suitability
requirement. If the stockholder who must be found suitable is a corporation, partnership or trust, it must submit detailed business and financial information including a list of beneficial owners. Any beneficial owner of equity or debt securities of
a Registered Entity (whether or not a controlling stockholder) may be required to be found suitable if the relevant Nevada Gaming Authorities have reason to believe that such ownership would be inconsistent with the declared policy of the State of
Nevada. If the beneficial owner who must be found suitable is a corporation, partnership or trust, it must submit detailed business and financial information, including a list of its securities.

Any stockholder found unsuitable and who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, any securities or partner interests of a Registered
Entity beyond such period of time as may be prescribed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities may be guilty of a gross misdemeanor. Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a license within 30 days after being ordered to do
so may be found unsuitable. A Registered Entity is subject to disciplinary action if, after it receives notice that a person is unsuitable to be a security holder or partner, as the case may be, or to have any other relationship with it, such
Registered Entity (i) pays the unsuitable person any dividends or property upon any voting securities or partner interests or makes any payments or distributions of any kind whatsoever to such person; (ii) recognizes the exercise, directly
or indirectly, of any voting rights in its securities or partner interests by the unsuitable person; (iii) pays the unsuitable person any remuneration in any form for services rendered or otherwise, except in certain and specific circumstances
or; (iv) fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require the unsuitable person to divest himself of his voting securities, including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of the voting securities for cash at fair market value.

Registered Entities must maintain current stock ledgers in the State of Nevada that may be examined by the Nevada Gaming Authorities at
any time. If any securities or partner interests are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record holder may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. A failure to make such disclosure
may be grounds for finding the record owner unsuitable. Record owners are required to conform to all applicable rules and regulations of the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Licensees also are required to render maximum assistance in determining the
identity of a beneficial owner.

The Nevada Gaming Authorities have the power to require that certificates representing voting
securities of a corporate licensee bear a legend to the effect that such voting securities or partner interests are subject to the Nevada Gaming Regulations. The Nevada Gaming Authorities, through the power to regulate licensees, have the power to
impose additional restrictions on the holders of such voting securities at any time.

Financial Responsibility.The Company and PHI are required to submit detailed
financial and operating reports to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Substantially all loans, leases, sales of securities and other financial transactions entered into by the Company or PHI must be reported to and, in some cases, approved by the Nevada
Gaming Authorities.

Certain Transactions. None of the Archon Group may make a public offering of its securities
without the approval of the Commission if the proceeds therefrom are intended to be used to construct, acquire or finance gaming facilities in Nevada, or retire or extend obligations incurred for such purposes. Such approval, if given, will not
constitute a recommendation or approval of the investment merits of the securities offered. Any public offering requires the approval of the Commission.

Changes in control of the Company through merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, management or consulting agreements or any form of takeover cannot occur without the prior investigation of the
Board and approval of the Commission. The Commission may require controlling stockholders, partners, officers, directors and other persons who have a material relationship or involvement in the transaction to be licensed.

The Nevada legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions opposed by management, repurchases of voting securities and other
corporate defense tactics that affect corporate gaming licensees in Nevada, and corporations whose securities are publicly traded that are affiliated with those operations, may be injurious to stable and productive corporate gaming. The Commission
has established a regulatory scheme to ameliorate the potentially adverse effects of these business practices upon Nevadas gaming industry and to further Nevadas policy to (i) assure the financial stability of corporate or
partnership gaming operators and their affiliates; (ii) preserve the beneficial aspects of conducting business in the corporate form; and (iii) promote a neutral environment for the orderly governance of corporate or partnership affairs.
Approvals are, in certain circumstances, required from the Commission before the Company can make exceptional repurchases of voting securities above the current market price thereof (commonly referred to as greenmail) and before an
acquisition opposed by management can be consummated. Nevadas gaming regulations also require prior approval by the Commission if the Company were to adopt a plan of recapitalization proposed by the Companys Board of Directors in
opposition to a tender offer made directly to the stockholders for the purpose of acquiring control of the Company.

Miscellaneous. The Company and its Nevada-based affiliates, including subsidiaries, may engage in gaming activities outside
the State of Nevada without seeking the approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities provided that such activities are lawful in the jurisdiction where they are to be conducted and that certain information regarding the foreign operation is provided to
the Board on a periodic basis. The Company and its Nevada-based affiliates may be disciplined by the Commission if any of them violates any laws of the foreign jurisdiction pertaining to the foreign gaming operation, fails to conduct the foreign
gaming operation in accordance with the standards of honesty and integrity required of Nevada gaming operations, engages in activities that are harmful to the State of Nevada or its ability to collect gaming taxes and fees, or employs a person in
the foreign operation who had been denied a license or finding of suitability in Nevada on the ground of personal unsuitability.

License fees and taxes, computed in various ways depending on the type of gaming involved, are payable to the State of Nevada and to the counties and cities in which the Company and PHI conduct their
respective operations. Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees and taxes are payable either monthly, quarterly or annually and are based upon: (i) a percentage of the gross gaming revenues received by the casino operation;
(ii) the number of slot machines operated by the casino; or (iii) the number of table games operated by the casino. A casino entertainment tax is also paid by the licensee where entertainment is furnished in connection with the selling of
food or refreshments.

Finally, the Nevada Gaming Authorities may require that lenders to licensees be investigated to
determine if they are suitable and, if found unsuitable, may require that they dispose of their loans.

|Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

The
following are currently known and material risks. Other material risks may develop in the future; provided, however, as they remain unidentified they cannot be disclosed. You are encouraged to review the following discussion of specific known
material risks and uncertainties that could affect our business. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

Our Business is Vulnerable to Changing Economic Conditions. Unfavorable changes in general economic conditions including
recession, economic slowdown, or higher fuel or other transportation costs, may reduce disposable income of casino patrons or result in fewer patrons visiting casinos. Our operating results may be negatively impacted by an increase in interest rates
causing an increase in interest expense.

Our Laughlin Property is Vulnerable to Existing Competitors and Their Capital
Investments. Competitors of casino/hotel properties in Laughlin could produce unfavorable operating results if the investments by competitors are successful in capturing market share from the Companys Laughlin property. These new
competitors may have greater capital resources and liquidity than the Company.

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 December 20, 2010, the
holders of 4,264,312 shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price; while 152,265 shares have yet to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment
due without interest. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock  unredeemed was $813,665 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,

##### Table of Contents

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. The two other lawsuits brought by former holders of the
Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock are entitled Rainero v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada, Case No. 2:07-cv-01553, and Leeward Capital, L.P. v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada Case No. 2:08-cv-00007. 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.

In the Leeward Capital matter, both the Leeward Plaintiffs and the Company have filed motions for summary judgment. The
Leeward Plaintiffs have made arguments similar to the Laminar Plaintiffs in their motion. In its motion for summary judgment, the Company argues that the request for a redemption price of $8.69 per share is contrary to the express language of
the Certificate and that the Leeward Plaintiffs purchased their shares with actual knowledge of how the Company was calculating the redemption price. No hearing has been held on the motions and the Company is awaiting the decision from the District
Court.

The Rainero action is purported to be brought on behalf of David Rainero individually as well as a class of all
former preferred shareholders, although a class has not yet been certified by the District Court. The District Court has set a deadline of December 6, 2010 by which Mr. Rainero must file any motion for class certification. Mr. Rainero
is scheduled to be deposed in early January of 2011. The Company intends to oppose any motion for class certification that may be filed.

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.

A Significant Decline in Real Estate Values may have an Adverse Impact on the
Companys Financial Condition. The Company owns real estate on the Strip 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

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,

|Item 7. | 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).

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.

Assets 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 assets held for sale. Interest expense is also recorded based on the outstanding nonrecourse debt remaining to be paid and 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 $2.8
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 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 5, Purchase and Sale Agreement of Gaithersburg Property

Rental Properties

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 Property to two different lessees for an aggregate amount of $9,500 per month. The leases may be
terminated in the event the property is sold or developed by the Company.

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



16

##### Table of Contents

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.

Property and
Equipment: At September 30, 2010, the Company had net property and equipment of $97.2 million, representing 52.8% of total assets. Management depreciates property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property improvements, technological obsolescence, new competition, or
new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.

For assets to be held and used, fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we first group our assets with other assets and
liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly
associated with and expected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows
exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted
cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

For assets
to be held for sale, the fixed assets (the property held for sale) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Losses are recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down to fair value less cost
to sell, while gains are recognized for any subsequent increase in fair value less cost to sell, but not in excess of the cumulative loss previously recognized. Any gains or losses not previously recognized that result from the sale of the disposal
group shall be recognized at the date of sale. Fixed assets are not depreciated while classified as held for sale.

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 $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the years ended September 30, 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  FISCAL 2010 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2009

General

During fiscal 2010, the Companys consolidated net operating revenues decreased approximately $8.5 million,
and operating expenses decreased approximately $8.2 million, resulting in a decrease of $0.3 million in operating income. These results were achieved in part through aggressive cost cutting measures. These operating results were due to decreases in
all of the operating expenses including a $3.5 million reduction in the loss incurred on the impairment of Pioneer assets.

Consolidated

Net Operating Revenues.Consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended September 30, 2010 decreased by approximately $8.5 million from the year ended September 30, 2009.
Revenues from the rental properties decreased approximately $3.1 million during fiscal 2010 as compared to the 2009 fiscal year, due to lower rental revenue from the Strip Property in Las Vegas. Net revenues decreased approximately $5.0 million
during fiscal 2010 at the Pioneer compared to the 2009 fiscal year, as a result of a marketwide declining trend of gaming revenues in Laughlin discussed in greater detail under Pioneer. Other net revenues decreased during fiscal 2010, by
approximately $0.4 million as compared to the 2009 fiscal year.

In fiscal 2010, 65% of the Companys net revenues were
derived from the Pioneer and 32% from rental properties. The Companys business strategy at the Pioneer emphasizes slot and video poker machine play. For fiscal 2010, approximately 80% of the Pioneers net revenues were derived from casino
operations. Approximately 92% of gaming revenues at the Pioneer were derived from slot and video poker machines, while 8% of such revenues were from table games.

Operating Expenses.Total operating expenses decreased approximately $8.2
million, or 26%, to $23.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2010, from $31.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2009. Total operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 100% for the year ended
September 30, 2010 from 99% in the year ended September 30, 2009. All of the operating expenses decreased in the year ended September 30, 2010 from the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses was principally the result of
declining business levels. Casino, hotel, food and beverage, and other operating expenses declined a total of $3.9 million; combined with $0.2 million in legal expense. Other reductions included $0.6 million in utilities and property expenses and a
$3.5 million decrease in the loss on the impairment of Pioneer assets.

Interest Expense. Consolidated interest
expense for the year ended September 30, 2010 was $4.4 million, a $0.9 million decrease compared to $5.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2009, due to a decrease in the amount of debt associated with the interest expense.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income for the year ended September 30, 2010 was $1.1
million, a decrease of $0.1 million from $1.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Gain (Loss) on Sale
of Marketable Securities. The gain on marketable securities for the year ended September 30, 2010 was $0.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million from a loss of $1.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2009. The increase is due
to realized gains from available-for-sale marketable securities.

Income Tax.The Company recorded a federal
income tax benefit, combined with a tax expense associated with discontinued operations, totaling approximately $1.0 million (an approximate 51% rate) for the year ended September 30, 2010, a change of $0.9 million from a $1.9 million tax
benefit (an approximate 55% rate) for the year ended September 30, 2009. The benefit consisted primarily of the NOL carryforward from prior years.

Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.Discontinued operations associated with the assets held for sale during the year ended September 30, 2010 was $2.4 million, an increase of $1.4
million from $1.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Rental Properties

General. The rental properties segment includes operations at the Las Vegas Strip property in Nevada, and the Dorchester
property in Massachusetts. The Gaithersburg property in Maryland is not included because it is under contract to sell and is reported separately under discontinued operations. The rental properties revenues and expenses comprise a substantial
portion of the revenues and expenses included in the Companys consolidated statements of operations and are discussed separately below.

Net Operating Revenues. Net revenues at the rental properties decreased $3.1 million, or approximately 29%, to $7.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 from $10.7
million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, due to a reduction in the rent income related to a lease termination for the Las Vegas Strip property.

Operating Expenses.Operating expenses remained unchanged at $2.5 million, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues
increased to 33% in fiscal 2010 from 23% in fiscal 2009.

Depreciation expense remained the same at $1.7 million, during the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Depreciation expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 22% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, from 16% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010 was $4.3 million, a $0.3 million decrease compared to $4.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, due to a decrease in the amount of debt associated with the interest expense.

Pioneer

General. 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.

Casino, hotel and food/beverage revenues and expenses at the Pioneer comprise the majority of consolidated casino, hotel, and
food/beverage revenues and expenses included in the Companys consolidated statements of operations and are discussed separately below.

Net Operating Revenues. Net revenues at the Pioneer decreased $5.0 million, or approximately 25%, to $15.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 from $20.3 million for the year
ended September 30, 2009.

Gross casino revenues decreased approximately $3.8 million, or 24%, to $12.2 million for the
year ended September 30, 2010 from $16.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2009. Slot and video poker revenues decreased approximately $3.2 million, or 22%, to $11.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 from $14.4
million for the year ended September 30, 2009. Other gross gaming revenues, including table games, decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 38%, to $1.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 compared to approximately $1.6 million
for the 2009 year. Management believes this decrease was a result of declining market trends in the local area. Casino promotional allowances decreased approximately $0.9 million, or 23%, to approximately $3.1 million in year ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $4.0 million for year ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to the aforementioned decline in the local gaming market.

Hotel revenues decreased $0.2 million, or 12%, to $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 from $1.7 million in fiscal 2009 due to a decrease in the number of rooms occupied. Food and
beverage revenues decreased $1.4 million, or 24%, to $4.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 from $5.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2009. Other revenues decreased $0.3 million, or 43%, to $0.4 million for the year
ended September 30, 2010 from $0.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2009 due to decreased retail sales and increased allowance for bad debt.

Operating Expenses.Operating expenses decreased $8.8 million, or 33%, to $17.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 from $26.3 million for the year ended September 30,
2009, as a result of a decline of $3.5 million related to the impairment of assets, combined with a $5.3 million reduction in expenses associated with reduced customer activity since many such expenses vary with related revenues and for other
reasons noted below. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 114% in fiscal 2010 from 130% in fiscal 2009.

Casino expenses decreased $2.2 million, or 22%, to $7.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 from $9.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2009, primarily related to a decrease in
casino promotional allowances, and lower gaming volumes. Casino expenses as a percentage of casino revenues increased to 62% for the year ended September 30, 2010 from 61% for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Hotel expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 25%, to $0.6 million for the year ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $0.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a reduction in the number of hotel rooms rented. Hotel expenses as a percentage of hotel revenues decreased to 40% for the 2010 year from
47% for the 2009 year. Food and beverage expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 31%, to $2.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2009. Food and beverage expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 61% for the 2010 year from 67% for the 2009 year. Other expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 50%, to $0.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 compared to $0.6 million for the year ended
September 30, 2009 due to the decrease in retail revenues. Other expenses as a percentage of other revenues decreased to 75% for the 2010 year from 86% for the 2009 year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 26%, to $2.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2010 compared to $3.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 18% for the 2010 year from 19% for the 2009 year. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was a result of lower business levels.
Pioneers selling, general and administrative expenses are greater than the consolidated total due to the elimination of intercompany transactions in consolidation. Utilities and property expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 12%, to $2.9 million
in fiscal year 2010 compared to $3.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2009. Utilities and property expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 19% for the 2010 year from 16% for the 2009 year. Energy consumption decreased as a
result of lower business levels and energy efficient lighting, but was offset by energy rate increases. Depreciation expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 38%, to $0.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2010, from $0.8 million in the year
ended September 30, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $0.8 million, or 89%, to $0.1
million for the year ended September 30, 2010 compared to $0.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES; TRENDS AND FACTORS RELEVANT TO FUTURE OPERATIONS

The United States has been experiencing a recession
that has resulted in highly curtailed economic activity including, among other things, reduced casino gaming and declining real estate values, both nationwide and particularly in the Southern Nevada local market. The effects and duration of these
developments and related uncertainties on the Companys future operations and cash flows cannot be estimated at this time but may likely be significant.

The Company is required to make the following cash interest payments related to the above debt obligations:
(i) Nonrecourse debt$3.8 million (2011), $3.8 million (2012), $3.8 million (2013), $3.8 million (2014), $3.8 million (2015) and $21.8 million (2016 and thereafter); (ii) Long-term debt$0.5 million (2011), $0.0 million
(2012), $0.0 million (2013), $0.0 million (2014) $0.0 million (2015), and $0.0 million (2016 and thereafter); (iii) Discontinued operations$2.5 million (2011), $2.3 million (2012), $2.0 million (2013), $1.1 million (2014) $0.0
million (2015), and $0.0 million (2016 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 are beyond the Companys control. In addition, the Company will be dependent on the continued ability of the tenants in the rental
properties in Gaithersburg, Maryland and in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts 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 properties.

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 are secured by deed of trust on SLVCs approximate 27 acre parcel of land on Las Vegas Boulevard South (the Strip Property). The line of credit loan is revolving and
is subject to additional lending requirements. The line of credit loan balance in the amount of $5.0 million at the end of the fiscal year is reported as a current liability, and any outstanding balance under the line of credit will become due in
February 2011. 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 September 30,
2010, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $9.6 million compared to $31.6 million at September 30, 2009. In addition, the Company had $17.8 million in investment in

##### Table of Contents

marketable securities at September 30, 2010 compared to $6.0 million at September 30, 2009. Management believes that cash flow generated through its casino operations and its short and
long-term investments, the Company will have sufficient available cash and cash resources to meet its cash requirements through the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2011. The rental properties were structured such that future
tenants payments cover future required mortgage payments.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. The
Companys cash used in operations increased $2.7 million in the year ended September 30, 2010 compared to the year ended September 30, 2009.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities increased $7.9 million during the year ended September 30, 2010, compared to the year ended September 30,
2009. This increase is primarily related to the investment in marketable securities during the year ended September 30, 2010.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities.Cash used in financing activities increased $4.5 million during the year ended September 30, 2010 compared to the year ended September 30,
2009. During fiscal 2010, the Company paid $2.9 million in short-term debt, and $4.0 million for common and preferred stock. During fiscal 2009, the Company paid $2.0 million in short-term debt, $0.1 million on debt and non recourse debt, and $0.2
million for common and preferred stock.

The Companys primary sources 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.

Payments of rent were approximately $0.4 million in each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Capital expenditures to maintain the facility in fiscal 2010 were
approximately $0.1 million.

Assets 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 5, Purchase and Sale Agreement of Gaithersburg Property

Rental Properties

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.

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 December 20, 2010, the holders of 4,264,312 shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment
of the redemption price; while 152,265 shares have yet to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock  unredeemed was
$813,665 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. The two other lawsuits brought by former holders of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock are entitled Rainero v. Archon
Corporation, District of Nevada, Case No. 2:07-cv-01553, and Leeward Capital, L.P. v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada Case No. 2:08-cv-00007. 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.

In the Leeward Capital matter, both the Leeward Plaintiffs and the Company have filed motions for summary judgment. The Leeward Plaintiffs have made arguments similar to the Laminar
Plaintiffs in their motion. In its motion for summary judgment, the Company argues that the request for a redemption price of $8.69 per share is contrary to the express language of the Certificate and that the Leeward Plaintiffs purchased their
shares with actual knowledge of how the Company was calculating the redemption price. No hearing has been held on the motions and the Company is awaiting the decision from the District Court.

The Rainero action is purported to be brought on behalf of David Rainero individually as well as a class of all former preferred
shareholders, although a class has not yet been certified by the District Court. The District Court has set a deadline of December 6, 2010 by which Mr. Rainero must file any motion for class certification. Mr. Rainero is scheduled to
be deposed in early January of 2011. The Company intends to oppose any motion for class certification that may be filed.

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 room rates. Expenses of operating the Companys rental properties are generally borne by the tenants. Primarily due to competitive market and other economic pressures 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 7A. | MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE
|-------- | ----------------------

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 September 30, 2010 of approximately $5.0 million, of which approximately $5.0 million bears interest at a variable rate (approximately 6% at September 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.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Archon Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of
September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Archon Corporation and Subsidiaries management is
responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Archon Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30,
2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ARCHON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended September 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 through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sahara Las Vegas Corp. (SLVC, Corp). It also owns rental properties in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts and in Gaithersburg, Maryland which are both currently rented through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, SFHI, Inc.

The Companys primary business is casino and hotel operations. Casino and hotel revenues
represent 65% and 63% of total revenues for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company has rental property operations which consist of 32% and 34% of total revenues for the years ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.



|2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Archon and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Amounts representing the Companys investment in less than majority-owned companies in which a significant equity ownership interest is held are accounted
for on the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of
Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that
the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could very from estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments that mature or are otherwise contractually redeemable in cash within 90 days from the
date of purchase are treated as cash equivalents. These investments are stated at cost which approximates their market value.

Fair Value

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and accounts payable approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of
these items. See Note 12

Uninsured Deposits

At various times during the period and subsequently, the Company maintained account balances that may have exceeded federally and/or institutionally insured limits, and the risk of losses related to such
concentrations may be increasing as a result of future 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 September 30, 2010 and 2009 include investments in corporate bonds.

Marketable securities held by Merrill Lynch, MorganStanley  SmithBarney, Contango Capital Advisors, and UBS Financial Services (the
holding companies) are held for an indefinite period of time and thus are classified as available-for-sale securities. Realized investment gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations, as are provisions for other than
temporary declines in the market value of available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).
Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of
decline, and the Companys ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers. During fiscal 2010, the Company did not record an impairment charge regarding its investment in marketable securities because, based on
managements evaluation of the circumstances, management believed that the decline in fair value below the cost of certain of the Companys marketable securities was temporary. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, investments in equity
securities available-for-sale included common and preferred stocks.

Included in Gain (loss) on sale of marketable
securities in the consolidated statements of operations are approximately $0.1 million realized gain and $(1.0) million realized (loss) for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company recorded approximately
$(0.3) million and $(1.0) million of other comprehensive (loss) associated with unrealized (losses) net of tax effect, associated with unrealized losses on these investments during the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company classifies securities that have a readily determinable fair value and are not bought and not
held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term as securities available-for-sale, pursuant to FASB ASC 320-10, Investments-Debt & Equity Securities. Under FASB ASC 320-10, unrealized holding gains and losses for
available-for-sale securities shall be excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized.

Inventories

Food, beverage, gift shop and other inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including rental properties, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs of maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the asset nor appreciably
prolong its life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for leasehold improvements is limited to the remaining term of the leases. See Note 7

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or lease terms. The length of
depreciation periods for buildings and improvements is seven to 40 years and for machinery and equipment three to 15 years.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, impairment losses of $0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, were
recorded with respect to the Pioneer operating assets.

The following tables show a roll-forward of gross carrying value and
accumulated depreciation by asset class for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, where applicable to all long-lived assets.
FASB ASC 360-10 addresses accounting and reporting for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10. FASB ASC 360-10 requires
impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that
event, a loss is recognized in the fourth quarter, based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that
fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.

Management concluded that Pioneer Hotel and Casino revenues have
continued to decline as a result of the ongoing downturn in the economy. During the year ended September 30, 2010 there were numerous banks failures, significant declines in gaming revenues in the area, and significant and continuing declines
in the housing and labor markets. To compensate for the continuing decline in revenues, management has initiated strong measures, which produced a $3.8 million improvement to operating income. Even after deducting $3.5 million for the impairment
taken fiscal year 2009, there was a $0.3 million improvement in operations.

After a continued decline in revenues of the
Pioneer Hotel and Casino and the further decline in the economy, management was compelled to perform another cash flow analysis for the year ended September 30, 2010, to determine if an additional impairment loss was appropriate. After the
asset group was tested and analyzed, using the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 departmental cost and expense ratios going forward, management determined that an additional impairment loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010,
was not required.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with financing the acquisition of rental property are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over the
remaining loan period on the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The total capitalized as debt issuance cost is $2.8 million, and the amount amortized is $0.2 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2010
and 2009. Total debt issuance costs remaining to be amortized are $0.8 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Slot Club Liability

The Pioneer has a program called the Bounty Hunter Round-Up Club (the Club) that was established to encourage repeat business from frequent and active slot and table game
customers. A member of the Club accumulates points in the members account for play on slot machines and table games that can be redeemed for cash, free gifts, food and beverages and additional points redeemable for free play. Included in
accrued expenses are approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million at September 30, 2010 and 2009, for estimated redemption value of points accumulated by patrons.

Revenue Recognition and Promotional Allowances

Casino
revenue is the aggregate of gaming wins and losses. Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other operating revenues are recognized as 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 cash value of points and coupons earned by the slot club members totaling $0.4 million

and $0.6 million for the years ended September 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.

In accordance with industry practice, the retail value of room, food,
beverage and other services furnished to the Companys guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated retail value of such promotional allowances is included in revenues as follows
(dollars in thousands):

|                  |  |      |       |  |      |   |       | 

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 liabilities section of the balance sheet, and conversely, when rents earned and recognized exceed rental payments
received, the difference is recorded as other assets.

Other Revenue

Other revenue at September 30, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

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, Nevada Strip 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.

Legal Defense Costs

The Company does not accrue for estimated future legal and related defense costs, if any, to be incurred in connection with outstanding or threatened litigation and other disputed matters but, rather,
records such as period costs when the services are rendered.

Advertising Costs

The Company charges advertising costs to operations when incurred. The Company does not use direct-response advertising. Cost of
advertising was $0.1 million for both the 2010 and 2009 fiscal years.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for
the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts recognized for income tax purposes. The Company recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred
tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.

On October 1, 2007, the
Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48) now known as ASC 740, to account for our uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including
resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties
related to uncertain tax positions in our provision for income taxes line of our consolidated statements of operations.

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 741,500 were not included in calculations
of diluted income per common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, and 2009 as the options were out of the money and, therefore, would be anti-dilutive. Furthermore, diluted EPS was not calculated as of September 30, 2009 due
to losses incurred in the fiscal year. The calculation would be anti-dilutive.

As of August 31, 2007, the Company called
for the redemption of all outstanding shares of its Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $5.241 per share, which sum included earned 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 earn dividends. As of the date of the preparation of these financial statements, the holders of 4,264,312 shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price. See note 9

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
adopted FASB ASC 810-10 during fiscal year 2010. The adoption of FASB ASC 810-10 did not 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 adopted FASB ASC 860-10 during fiscal year 2010. The adoption of FASB ASC 860-10 did not 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 820-10:In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This amendment to Topic 820 has improved disclosures about fair value measurements

disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods
within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-06 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

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 the Gaithersburg Property. 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 September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $37.3 million and $40.5 million, respectively. The following debt table is related to assets held for sale:

|8 | 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 8, 2010.

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.

|9 | 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 December 20, 2010, the holders of 4,264,312 shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price; while 152,265 shares have yet to be
surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock  unredeemed was $813,665 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. The two other lawsuits brought by former holders of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock are entitled Rainero v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada, Case
No. 2:07-cv-01553, and Leeward Capital, L.P. v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada Case No. 2:08-cv-00007. 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.

In the
Leeward Capital matter, both the Leeward Plaintiffs and the Company have filed motions for summary judgment. The Leeward Plaintiffs have made arguments similar to the Laminar Plaintiffs in their motion. In its motion for summary
judgment, the Company argues that the request for a redemption price of $8.69 per share is contrary to the express language of the Certificate and that the Leeward Plaintiffs purchased their shares with actual knowledge of how the Company was
calculating the redemption price. No hearing has been held on the motions and the Company is awaiting the decision from the District Court.

The Rainero action is purported to be brought on behalf of David Rainero individually as well as a class of all former preferred shareholders, although a class has not yet been certified by the
District

Court. The District Court has set a deadline of December 6, 2010 by which Mr. Rainero must file any motion for class certification. Mr. Rainero is scheduled to be deposed in early
January of 2011. The Company intends to oppose any motion for class certification that may be filed.

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.



|10 | STOCK OPTION PLAN
|-- | -----------------

The Companys Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of up to approximately 1.3 million (net of options previously exercised)
shares of its common stock to key employees. Currently there are approximately 522,000 stock options available for grant. The Stock Option 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. No options were granted during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were approximately 741,500, outstanding and
exercisable under the Stock Option Plan. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, no options were exercised or granted.

The outstanding options have expiration dates through 2018 and have an average remaining life of approximately 6.3 years. The average exercise price of the outstanding options at September 30, 2009
is approximately $28.09.

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 September 30, 2010, no options had been granted under any of the Subsidiary Plans.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during fiscal 2010 under all plans:

##### Table of Contents

At September 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is
not needed to reduce deferred tax assets as the amount of future tax benefit is more likely than not to be realized.

At
September 30, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8.5 million. These losses expire in various years between fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2029, and are subject to limitations on their utilization.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had charitable deduction carryforwards of approximately $296 thousand. These
deductions expire in various years between fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2015, and are subject to limitations on their utilization.

The Company recognized no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our provision for income taxes line of our
consolidated statements of operations during both fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009.



|12 | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|-- | -----------------------------------

The Company estimates the fair value of its unredeemed preferred stock to be approximately $0.8 million at September 30, 2010 based upon the redemption price of $5.241 per share. The Company
estimates that its debt and all other financial instruments have a fair value that approximates their recorded amounts, except for its nonrecourse debt associated with a rental property owned in Massachusetts. The debt, which bears interest at
12.18% and matures in 2020, has an estimated fair value of approximately $6 million greater than its carrying amount at September 30, 2010 of approximately $31.2 million. The interest rate used to discount the notes and estimate the fair value
was 7%, the same interest rate that is associated with similar nonrecourse debt of the Company.

Accounting standards define
fair value as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. These standards also establish a valuation
hierarchy for inputs in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs (inputs market participants would use based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company) and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs
(inputs that reflect the Companys assumptions based upon the best information available in the circumstances) by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than
quoted prices) that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that
is significant to the fair value measurement.

|13 | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
|-- | ----------------------

The Company has a savings plan (the Savings Plan) for its eligible employees, which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan covers substantially all
employees, including the Companys executive officers. Employee contributions to the Plan are discretionary. The Plan allows eligible employees to contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to 6% of their gross salary to the plan; the Company was
obligated to match 25% of such employee contributions made until April 30, 2009 when the Company match component was terminated. Employees may also contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to an additional 9% of their gross salary, and, on a post-tax
basis, up to an additional 10% of their salary. Such contributions are not matched by the Company. The Companys matching contributions paid in 2009 was $34,854.

|14 | 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 with no significant change from the remaining $0.1 million in fiscal year 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 license that expired in January 2007 in the United States with respect to the technology, but which automatically renewed until 2009 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,
2010, the Company had expended approximately $0.4 million for commercial development of the technology, and no additional costs have been expended. There were no expenditures incurred during the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. No
royalties were paid to the patentholder during the periods presented.

Prior to fiscal 2004, the Company operated Dukes
casino (Dukes) in Sparks, Nevada, and invested $100,000 in Dukes and loaned Dukes approximately $1.4 million. One of Dukes partners is the son of the Companys Board Chairman and CEO. In December 2003,
Dukes closed its casino operations, and the Company wrote-off its investment in and receivable from Dukes net of a previously recorded 100% allowance of approximately $1.5 million. The Company made the determination at the time that the
collateral value securing the receivable was deemed insignificant subsequent to the closure of the casino.

During an
approximate two-year period ended prior to the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company expended approximately $800,000 in legal fees on behalf of Dukes in its litigation against a contractor, although the Company was not a party to the
litigation. Dukes had agreed to reimburse the Company for legal fees and other amounts owed the Company depending on potential amounts recovered, if any from the litigation. Through September 30, 2007, the Company received approximately
$1.7 million, of which $800,000 has been credited against legal expense with the balance included in operating income in the prior year. The Company has negotiated with Dukes and obtained an assignment of all future payments under the judgment and
settlement with the general contractor for the project. The general contractor had been notified of the assignment and will be making all future payments due under the settlement with Dukes to the Company directly according to the terms of the
settlement agreement. The Company received timely payments totaling $473,000 and $792,000, during the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, under the terms of the settlement agreement with Dukes LLC from the general contractor
responsible for the judgment.

On January 14, 2008, nonqualified stock options were exercised by both the brother and son
of the Companys Chairman of the Board and CEO, which were granted under the Companys 1993 Stock Option Plan. The date of the grants was January 21, 1998 and the exercise price was $1.00 per share. 58,425 shares were exercised by the
brother and 54,425 shares were exercised by the son. Both the brother and son paid the par value of $0.01 for each share of stock exercised, and signed a promissory note for the remaining balance. The son paid his promissory note in full, in July
2010, and the remaining balance of $57,841, shown as Notes receivable from stockholders, in the Companys September 30, 2010 balance sheet, is from the brother.

On October 13, 2007 the Company sold a 2005 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Short Bed vehicle
owned by the Company and transferred under a promissory installment note to the son of the Companys Chairman of the Board and CEO. The promissory installment note was amended on April 12, 2010 to have a payment period of twelve months
with a payoff on or before April 15, 2011. The remaining balance of $20,320 is included in Accounts receivable, net, in the Companys September 30, 2010 balance sheet.



|15 | CONTINGENCIES
|-- | -------------

As
discussed in Note 9, some holders of the Companys Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have filed various complaints against the Company asserting that the accrued and unpaid dividend portion of the redemption price had been incorrectly
calculated and the total redemption price should have been as much as $15.2 million greater than the $23.1 million set aside by the Company and are seeking a declaratory judgment and an award of damages. If the plaintiffs are correct, the redemption
price as of August 31, 2007, would have been $8.69 per share and not $5.241 per share as calculated by the Company. The Company will continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits and has both procedural and substantive defenses.

In addition, the Company is subject to various lawsuits relating to routine matters incidental to its business. Although unable to
estimate the minimum costs, if any, ultimately to be incurred in these and the foregoing matters, accordingly no provision has been made therefore, management does not believe that the outcome of such litigation, in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on the Companys future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The United
States has recently been experiencing a recession that has resulted in highly curtailed economic activity including, among other things, reduced casino gaming and declining real estate values, both nationwide and particularly in the Southern Nevada
local market. The effects and duration of these developments and related uncertainties on the Companys future operations and cash flows cannot be estimated at this time but may likely be significant. In addition, the Company frequently has
cash and cash equivalents on deposit substantially in excess of federally-insured limits, and the risk of losses related to such concentrations may be increasing as a result of recent economic developments. However, the extent of loss, if any,
to be sustained as a result of a future financial institution failure, is not subject to estimation at this time.

|Item 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2010,
the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management,
including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure; due to the material weaknesses described below.

In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that
our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition,
results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that:



| | 1. | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | 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
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



62

##### Table of Contents



| | 3. | 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 our financial statements.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and reporting. 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.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing
Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the period covered by this report based on the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of managements assessment and evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

Material Weaknesses



| | 1. | The Companys management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010. In making this
assessment, the Companys management used the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control  Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management
concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on this framework.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management evaluated the impact of ineffective control over financial reporting and concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness.



| | 2. | In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010, our independent registered accounting firm, DeJoya
Griffith & Company, LLC, reported to the audit committee of the Companys Board of Directors that they observed inadequate review and approval of certain aspects of the accounting process that they considered to be a material weakness
in internal control.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a review of the Companys current review and approval of certain aspects of the
accounting process, management concluded that the inadequate review and approval process represented a material weakness.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

To remediate the material weaknesses identified above, we have done the following subsequent to September 30, 2010, which correspond to the two material weaknesses identified above.



| | 1. | In connection with the ineffective assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, management plans to hire an additional independent
registered public accounting firm to perform our internal audit and assist with SEC compliance for purposes of all future reporting.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Management believes this remediation will remediate the corresponding material weakness
described in Item 1, immediately above.



| | 2. | In connection with the reported inadequate review and approval of certain aspects of the accounting process, management has reiterated the Companys current review
and approval processes, to insure that all accounting reconciliations and journal entries are reviewed and approved on a timely basis.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management believes this remediation has remediated the corresponding material weakness described in Item 2, immediately above.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report by the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, because Managements report in
the annual report was not subject to attestation by the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or
detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must
reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of
a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future
periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There
have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Compensation Arrangements with
Mr. Lowden (President, Chairman of the Board and CEO)

The Compensation Committee of the Company approved
Mr. Lowdens compensation package for fiscal year 2010, which provided for an annual base salary of $550,000 (the same base salary paid to Mr. Lowden in 2009). Additionally, in recognition of Mr. Lowdens important efforts
to the Company, and his extra service to the Company in directly guarantying the obligations of the Company to its lending bank, the Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive (bonus) to Mr. Lowden in the amount of $200,000 in 2010
(the same incentive bonus paid in 2009). To further assist the Company, and to maintain good cash flow, this incentive bonus is payable to Mr. Lowden in bi-weekly installments throughout fiscal year 2011. In addition the Company has accrued a
loan guarantee fee equal to 0.5% of the guaranteed loan balances per calendar quarter. The amount accrued is $35,880 and $46,720 in fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

What are the Objectives of the Companys Compensation Program?The Compensation Program at the Company is designed to facilitate long-term and stable management. The Company has diverse
activities ranging from gaming to property ownership and the range of expertise necessary for its proper operation is not easily located. Mr. Lowden is knowledgeable about the current activities of the Company and the future opportunities the
Company may be presented in the near, mid and long-term. As the only compensated executive-level manager of the Company, and in addition as its majority shareholder, the Compensation Program is primarily directed towards insuring that
Mr. Lowden is reasonably compensated for his services.

What is the Compensation Program Designed to Award?The Compensation Program recognizes a number of factors as an indicator of the propriety of base salary and as a basis for determining reasonable incentives. Those factors include: (a) the cost associated with locating suitable and
experienced replacement executive management, including the cost of additional benefits; (b) the cost of locating experienced outsourcing for certain tasks associated with the duties now performed; (c) periodic results associated with the
management of Companys assets and the success of executive management in the creation of long-term shareholder value; (d) difficulties in the industry and the economy as a whole leading to the necessary devolution of extraordinary effort
and time and, (e) the degree of personal risk experienced by the executive manager in the Company. This final criteria takes into account the fact that Mr. Lowden has been asked to personally guaranty the obligations of the Company (which
is an unusual aspect of such an executive officers duties) and, therefore, creates opportunities for reduced rates of interest on borrowings as the loans are thereby risk-rated at more favorable levels. This last criteria exposes
Mr. Lowden to risk not normally faced by similar executives.

##### Table of Contents

What are Each of the Elements of the Companys Compensation Program? As
presently configured, the Compensation Program for the Company has three primary elements: First, and primarily, to establish a base rate of salary for its primary executive officer, Mr. Lowden. Second, to establish an annual incentive, if any,
to be paid to its primary executive officer, Mr. Lowden. And, third, to issue on a periodic basis, those certain stock option grants, if any, to directors, officers and/or employees according to the plan(s) previously approved by the
shareholders of the Company and still in effect.

The Company favors current compensation over deferred compensation
arrangements. In addition, the Company favors cash over non-cash compensation.

Which Elements were Mr. Lowden
Eligible to Receive in Each of the Years in the Summary Compensation Table? Who Determines Compensation?Mr. Lowden has received all three elements of compensation in previous years. In 2010 and 2009, however, he received only a base
salary and an annual incentive (bonus). Mr. Lowdens base salary and incentives have remained constant in each of those years and have not been increased. Mr. Lowden received 375,000 stock options in 2008, which constitutes the third
element of his compensation, but none were granted in 2010 and 2009. Mr. Lowdens compensation reflected his experience, effort and performance. Mr. Lowden played an important role in the option transaction referenced above and the
Board felt that his salary and incentives were well within the range of executive managers with such major financial obligations to monitor and process. The decision as to Mr. Lowdens compensation (as to all three elements) is addressed
and determined entirely by the Board of Directors after Mr. Lowden first recuses himself from that decision.

Compensation of
Directors

Directors who are not employees of the Company or its affiliates receive $24,000 annually and $1,000 per
board meeting attended, $800 per committee meeting attended as a member and $900 per committee meeting attended as Chairman of the committee.

The Company requires all members of the Board of Directors to comply with all Company policies prior to attending a newly elected directors first meeting of the Board of Directors. These
requirements include filing a gaming application with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and executing a confidentiality agreement, as well as compliance and disclosure statements. Until such time as an elected individual has complied with these
requirements, he or she is not entitled to the benefits of the directorship position, including any director fees or stock option awards that would otherwise be paid or granted.

Compensation Plans

Stock Option Plan

The Companys Stock Option Plan provided for the grant of options up to an aggregate of approximately 1,263,500 (net of options
previously exercised) shares of its common stock to key employees as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Stock Option Plan provided for both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The Company ceased granting options under
the Stock Option Plan as of September 30, 2003 as the plan had expired in 2002. However, the shareholders, in July 2005, approved amending the plan whereby the plan was extended until 2012 As of September 30, 2010 there were approximately
741,500 options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan and approximately 522,000 options which are available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

##### Table of Contents

1998 Subsidiary Stock Option Plans

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries, SFHI, Inc., Sahara Las Vegas Corp., and Pioneer Hotel Inc., have adopted 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, the Company and any subsidiaries of the Company or Subsidiaries 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. Certain of the agreements under which the Companys long-term debt is issued provide that if the Company ceases
to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the outstanding capital stock of specified Subsidiaries, an event of default will occur or an offer to repurchase the debt must be made. As a result, the Subsidiary Plans provide that options granted under the
Subsidiary Plans may not be exercised if the exercise would result in a default, or require an offer to repurchase the outstanding debt, under any agreement with respect to long-term debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. As of
September 30, 2010, no options had been granted under any Subsidiary Plans.

Savings Plan

The Company has adopted a savings plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code (the Savings Plan). The Savings Plan
covers substantially all employees, including the Companys executive officers. Employee contributions to the Savings Plan are discretionary. The Savings Plan allows eligible employees to contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to 6% of their gross
salary to the plan; the Company matched 25% of such employee contributions made until April 1, 2009 when the company match component was terminated. Employees may also contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to an additional 9% of their gross
salary, and, on a post-tax basis, up to an additional 10% of their salary. Such contributions are not matched by the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the compensation committee, John W. Delaney and William J. Raggio, are non-employee directors. Mr. Delaney has never been an officer of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries.
Mr. Delaney is the president of Central Banc Mortgage Corporation, a mortgage banking company of which Paul W. Lowden is a director and sole stockholder. During fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2003, the Company purchased from J & J Mortgage an
aggregate of $0.7 million of commercial and residential loans originally funded by Central Banc Mortgage Corporation to unaffiliated third parties. See Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

William J. Raggio, who from 1982 to 1999 served as Vice-President, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company and its predecessors, is
a shareholder and a member of the law firm of Jones Vargas. During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the Company retained Jones Vargas to advise the Company regarding various legal matters, and the Company continues to engage Jones Vargas for legal
representation.

|Item 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------

The Company, through its Board of Directors and Committees, believes that the relationships noted below do not adversely impact the Company and the events mentioned below are on terms at least as
favorable to the Company as would have been obtained from an unrelated third party.

Lowden, the brother of Paul W. Lowden, with respect to certain gaming technology for which David Lowden has been issued a patent. The Company has 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. David Lowden granted the Company an exclusive five-year license which initially expired in January 2007 in the United States with respect to the technology, which automatically
renews for additional two-year terms unless the Company terminates the agreement within thirty days prior to the renewal or the agreement is otherwise earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. The license

development of the technology. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had expended approximately $0.4 million for commercial development of the technology. No costs were expensed in fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

On January 14, 2008, nonqualified stock options were exercised by both David Lowden, brother of, and Christopher Lowden, son of the

Lowden and 54,425 shares were exercised by the Christopher Lowden. Both the David Lowden and Christopher Lowden paid the par value of $0.01 for each share of stock exercised, and signed a promissory note for the remaining balance. Chris Lowden paid

April 15, 2011. The remaining balance of $19,320 is included in Accounts receivable, net, in the Companys September 30, 2010 balance sheet.

During fiscal years 2001 through 2003, the Company purchased an aggregate of $0.7 million of commercial and residential loans originally funded by Central Banc Mortgage Corporation to unaffiliated third
parties. The loans were purchased by the Company for the principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any. Central Banc Mortgage Corporation is owned by LICO, which in turn is owned by Paul W. Lowden. John W. Delaney is the president of Central Banc
Mortgage Corporation. At September 30, 2010, the Company was owed approximately $22,342 from Central Banc Mortgage Corporation related to these transactions.
