The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by management of the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations under Regulation S-X of the ~~SEC;~~SEC, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the current unaudited three ~~and nine~~ month ~~periods~~period ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2010.~~2011. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2009,~~2010, from which the balance sheet information as of that date is derived.

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.~~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 ~~may differ~~could vary from estimates.

Income ~~(Loss)~~ Per Common Share. The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10,Earnings per Share. FASB ASC 260-10 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Dilutive stock options of approximately ~~741,000~~741,500 were not included in calculations of diluted income per common share for the ~~three months~~fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2010, and ~~nine months ended June 30, 2010,~~2009 as the options were out of the money and, therefore, would be anti-dilutive. 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 6

Concentrations. The Company’s primary operations are concentrated in the geographic area of Laughlin, Nevada and in the hotel and casino industry.

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~~0.3 million shares of common stock) and ~~225,000~~0.2 million 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~~Acting in compliance with 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).

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

Redemption Of The Company’s Preferred Stock And Redemption Price Disputes.The Company called all outstanding shares of its Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock for redemption on and as of August 31, 2007, at a redemption price of $5.241 per share, which sum included accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. From and after August 31, 2007, all shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock ceased to be outstanding and to accrue dividends. As of ~~August 13, 2010,~~February 11, 2011, the holders of ~~4,261,092~~4.3 million shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price; while ~~155,485~~0.2 million shares have yet to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 and September 30, ~~2009,~~2010, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock ~~–unredeemed~~– unredeemed was ~~$814,897~~$0.8 million and ~~$821,259,~~$0.8 million, respectively.

On August 27, 2007, a group of institutional investors filed an action ~~in Nevada,~~ against the ~~Company.~~Company in the United States District Court, entitledDE Shaw Laminar Portfolios et al. v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada, Case No. 2:07-cv-1146. 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~~$7.2 million 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. AtOn December 22, 2010, the ~~same time,~~District Court granted that motion and entered judgment against the Company in the amount of $9,5 million. The District Court based its decision primarily on its order from August of 2008. The Company has filed a ~~request~~motion for ~~certification asking~~reconsideration of the ~~Court to certify its partial summary judgment order~~District Court’s December 22, 2010 order. That motion has been fully briefed and is pending before the District Court. In the event the motion for ~~immediate interlocutory appeal. The Court granted the request for certification and~~reconsideration is denied, the ~~request for entry of final judgment without prejudice. The~~ Company ~~filed a Petition for Permission~~intends to ~~Appeal with~~appeal the District Court’s decision to 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.Appeals.

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 entitledRainero v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada, Case No. 2:07-cv-01553, andLeeward 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.

~~Management~~In theLeeward Capital matter, both theLeeward Plaintiffs and the Company have filed motions for summary judgment. The Leeward Plaintiffs made arguments similar to theLaminar Plaintiffs in their motion. On December 22, 2010, the District Court issued an order granting theLeeward Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on the same grounds as theLaminar order and denying Archon’s motion without analysis. Contemporaneous with the filing of the December 22, 2010 order, the District Court entered judgment in favor of theLeeward Plaintiffs and against the Company in the amount of $0.3 million. The Company has filed a motion for reconsideration of the District Court’s December 22, 2010 order. That motion has been fully briefed and is ~~unable~~pending before the District Court. In the event the motion for reconsideration is denied, the Company intends to ~~estimate~~appeal the ~~minimum liability that may~~District Court’s decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

TheRainero action is purported to be ~~incurred, if any,~~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. Plaintiff Rainero filed a motion for class certification in December of 2010 which the Company intends to oppose. The Company’s opposition brief to the motion for class certification is due February 15, 2011. Mr. Rainero was deposed in early January of 2011.

The Company plans to appeal the District Court’s decisions to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company believes that it has valid bases in law and fact to overturn or appeal these verdicts. As a result, the Company believes that affirmation of the ~~outcome~~judgments is possible but not probable, and, accordingly, that the amount of ~~each of these lawsuits and, therefore,~~any loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because the Company believes that this potential loss is not probable or estimable, it has ~~made no provision in the financial statements for liability~~not recorded any reserves or contingencies related to ~~these cases.~~this legal matter. In the event that the Company’s assumptions used to evaluate this matter as neither probable nor estimable change in future periods, it will be required to record a liability for an adverse outcome, which may include post-judgment interest.

The Company’s Stock Option Plan ~~(“Plan”)~~ provides for the grant of up to ~~1.4~~approximately 1.3 million (net of options previously exercised) shares of its common stock to key employees. Currently there are approximately 0.5 million 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. ~~During~~No options were granted during the ~~nine-month period~~quarter ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 and ~~2009, zero options were granted.~~2009. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were approximately ~~741,500~~0.7 million options outstanding and exercisable under the Stock Option Plan. During the ~~third quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 and 2009, no options were ~~exercised.~~

The outstanding options have expiration dates through 2018 and have an average remaining life of approximately ~~7.5~~6.0 years. The average exercise price of the outstanding options at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 iswas approximately $28.09.

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

SFHI Inc., SLVC and PHI (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), have adopted subsidiary stock option plans (the “Subsidiary Plans”). The Subsidiary Plans provide for the grant of options by each of the Subsidiaries with respect to an aggregate of up to 10% of the outstanding shares of such Subsidiary’s Common Stock to employees, non-employee directors, consultants or affiliates of the Company or the Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Subsidiary Plans is to enable the Subsidiaries and the Company to attract, retain and motivate their employees, non-employee directors, consultants and affiliates by providing for or increasing the proprietary interest of such persons in the Subsidiaries. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010, no options ~~have~~had been granted under any of the Subsidiary Plans.

~~On July 1, 2010, the Company paid $3.0 million including interest due on its line of credit to bring the outstanding balance to $5.0 million.~~

This discussion is intended to further the reader’s understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Archon Corporation (the “Company” or “Archon”). It should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the financial statements and notes thereto and other information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2009.~~2010. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance.

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.

During fiscal year 2001, the Company acquired certain properties as part of an IRS Section 1031 exchange. The property held for sale is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland (the “Gaithersburg Property”). The Company acquired the Gaithersburg Property and nonrecourse debt associated with the Gaithersburg Property which is subject to a long-term lease. A tenant remits payment to the bank according to the terms of the lease and note. The payments are used to liquidate the nonrecourse debt obligations. Rental income is recorded by the Company on a straight-line basis and totals approximately $5.6 million annually and will remain at this level until approximately 2014 or until the asset is sold, otherwise disposed of or becomes impaired. The buildings on the Gaithersburg Property are no longer being depreciated subsequent to the classification being changed from a rental property held for investment to ~~a property~~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 ~~$2.9~~$2.5 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).~~$76.3 million. 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~~$2.1 million, $1.7 million of which was paid on October 1, 2009, with the balance of ~~$400,000 being~~$0.4 million 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. SeeNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 4, Purchase and Sale Agreement of Gaithersburg Property

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~~$3.8 million annually ~~and will decrease in relation to debt principal reductions~~on a straight-line basis 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 portions of the Strip Property to ~~three~~two different lessees for an aggregate amount of ~~$35,000~~$9,500 per month. The leases may be terminated in the event the ~~Strip Property~~property is sold or developed by the Company.

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

~~The Option Agreement designated~~ In addition, the ~~purchase price to acquire~~Company leased the ~~land at $618.0 million.~~

~~Simultaneous with the execution~~balance of the ~~Option Agreement, SLVC executed~~property on a ~~Contingent Warrant (the “Warrant”) to Purchase Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), entitling LVT to purchase 60,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of SLVC upon terms~~short-term basis for $25,000 per month for the four month period commencing December 1, 2010 and conditions set forth in the Warrant. The designation and amount of the Preferred Stock as well as the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of the series of this Preferred Stock and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are set forth in the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock also dated December 22, 2008. Had LVT exercised the Warrant prior to its expiration on April 1, 2009, the Option Agreement would have remained valid untilending March 31, ~~2010. LVT failed to exercise the Warrant before its expiration, and the Option Agreement terminated on March 31, 2009.~~2011.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and ~~assumptions~~judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customer incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, valuation reserves and estimated cash flows in assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated liabilities for slot club bonus point programs, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical ~~experience~~information that is currently available to the Company 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~~judgments 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~~:Accounts. The Company allows for an estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using a specific formula applied to aged receivables as well as a specific review of large balances. Historical experience is considered, as are customer relationships, in determining specific reserves.

~~Long-Lived Assets~~:Property and Equipment. ~~The~~At December 31, 2010, the Company ~~has a significant investment in long-lived~~had net property and ~~equipment.~~equipment of $96.7 million, representing 52.6% of total assets. Management ~~reviews~~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 ~~assesses commercial viability~~used, fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of ~~these~~impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company first groups its assets ~~periodically,~~with other assets and liabilities at ~~least annually. Based on these reviews,~~the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, management estimates ~~that~~ the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to ~~result~~arise from the use of ~~these assets exceeds~~and eventual disposition of such asset group. Management then estimates the ~~current~~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, ~~of these assets. Any adverse change in~~no impairment is indicated. If the ~~estimate of these~~ 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 ~~could necessitate an impairment charge~~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 would adversely affect operating results. Management also estimates useful lives for its assets based on historical experience, estimates of assets’ commercial lives, and the likelihood of technological obsolescence. Should the actual useful life of a class of assets differresult from the ~~estimated useful life,~~sale of the ~~Company would record an impairment charge. We review useful lives and obsolescence and we assess commercial viability~~disposal group shall be recognized at the date of ~~these~~sale. Fixed assets ~~periodically.~~are not depreciated while classified as held for sale.

Income ~~Taxes~~: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~~than 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~~:Recognition. Casino revenue is recorded as the aggregate of gaming wins ~~minus~~and 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 605-50Revenue 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 approximately $0.1 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million for the quarters ended ~~March~~December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been recognized as a direct reduction of casino revenue.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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~~Southwest United States, certain of which factors are beyond the Company’s control. In addition, the Company will be dependent on the continued ability of the tenants in the rental ~~property~~properties in Gaithersburg, Maryland and in the Dorchester ~~Section~~section of Boston, Massachusetts ~~and the property held for sale in Gaithersburg, Maryland,~~ to make payments pursuant to the leases with the Company. The payments under the leases are contractually committed to be used to make payments on the Company’s nonrecourse debt obligations related to the ~~Dorchester Property and Gaithersburg Property, respectively.~~properties

~~Mortgage Note Obligation.~~Line of Credit. 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”)~~, are for a period of one year commencing November 15, 2009, and ending November 14, 2010.~~. The line of credit loan is revolving and is subject to additional lending requirements. The line of credit loan balance in the amount of ~~$7.9~~$6.8 million at the end of the ~~fiscal year~~quarter ended December 31, 2010 is reported as a current ~~liability.~~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.

Stock Margin Loan Obligation. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SFHI, secured and maintains a $3.0 million stock margin loan granted by Merrill Lynch. The stock margin loan is secured by marketable securities held by Merrill Lynch. The stock margin loan balance in the amount of $3.0 million at the end of the three months ended December 31, 2010 is reported as a current liability and included in the line of credit balance.

As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of ~~approximately $14.2~~$9.6 million compared to ~~$31.6~~$9.6 million at September 30, ~~2009.~~2010. The Company had ~~$15.4~~$18.7 million in investment in marketable securities at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 compared to ~~$6.0~~$17.8 million at September 30, ~~2009.~~2010. The ~~Dorchester Property and the Strip Property~~rental properties are structured such that future tenants’ payments cover future required mortgage payments including any balloon payments. Management believes that the Company will have sufficient available cash and cash resources to meet its cash requirements for a reasonable period of time.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. The Company’s cash used for operating activities was ~~$4.5~~$1.5 million for the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010, as compared to ~~$1.0~~$1.6 million for the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2009.

In the prior year period ~~$0.9 million~~the cash used was ~~used for debt payments, and approximately $0.3 million for the purchase of common stock for retirement.~~relatively insignificant.

The Company’s primary source of operating cash is from the Pioneer operations, from interest income on available cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities and, to a lesser extent, from net cash generated from the leasing of ~~Strip Property.~~certain land owned on the Las Vegas Strip. Rental income from the Company’s ~~Dorchester Property~~rental property and ~~Gaithersburg Property~~property held for sale 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~~leased 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 ~~27-acre Strip Property on~~east side of Las Vegas Boulevard South, ~~which is subject to a lease with the adjacent property owner to facilitate development~~just south of Sahara Avenue. The Company presently leases portions of the ~~adjacent property.~~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. In addition, the Company-short-term leased the balance of the property for $25,000 per month for the four month period commencing December 1, 2010 and ending March 31, 2011.

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~~its Laughlin market ~~since~~as its competition in the market typically has greater capital resources than does the Pioneer.

Payments of rent were approximately ~~$0.03~~$0.1 million infor each of the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 and ~~2009, respectively.~~2009. Capital expenditures to maintain the facility in fiscal ~~2010~~2011 are expected to be ~~approximately $0.3~~less than $1.0 million.

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

The Company acquired commercial 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.

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

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

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

The Company called all outstanding shares of its Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock for redemption on and as of August 31, 2007, at a redemption price of $5.241 per share, which sum included accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. From and after August 31, 2007, all shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock ceased to be outstanding and to accrue dividends. As of ~~August 7, 2010,~~February 11, 2011, the holders of ~~4,261,092~~4.3 million shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price; while ~~155,485~~0.2 million shares have yet to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 and September 30, ~~2009,~~2010, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock ~~–unredeemed~~– unredeemed was ~~$814,897~~$0.8 million and ~~$821,259,~~$0.8 million, respectively.

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. AtOn December 22, 2010, the ~~same time,~~District Court granted that motion and entered judgment against the Company in the amount of $9.5 million. The District Court based its decision primarily on its order from August of 2008. The Company has filed a ~~request~~motion for ~~certification asking~~reconsideration of the ~~Court to certify its partial summary judgment order~~District Court’s December 22, 2010 order. That motion has been fully briefed and is pending before the District Court. In the event the motion for ~~immediate interlocutory appeal. The Court granted the request for certification and~~reconsideration is denied, the ~~request for entry of final judgment without prejudice. The~~ Company ~~filed a Petition for Permission~~intends to ~~Appeal with~~appeal the District Court’s decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of ~~Appeals and the Ninth Circuit declined to accept the matter for interlocutory review.~~

The Company plans to appeal the District Court’s decisions to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company believes that it has valid bases in law and fact to overturn or appeal these verdicts. As a result, the Company believes that the likelihood that affirmation of the ~~outcome~~judgments is possible but not probable, and, accordingly, that the amount of ~~each of these lawsuits and, therefore,~~any loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because the Company believes that this potential loss is not probable or estimable, it has ~~made no provision in the financial statements for liability~~not recorded any reserves or contingencies related to ~~these cases~~this legal matter. In the event that the Company’s assumptions used to evaluate this matter as neither probable nor estimable change in future periods, it will be required to record a liability for an adverse outcome, which may include post-judgment interest.

The Company has been generally successful in recovering costs associated with inflation through price adjustments in its hotel ~~operations. Any~~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.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts ~~are~~may be considered forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, 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 are based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions that ultimately may prove to be inaccurate and that may 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,~~without limitation, 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.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity process. Excluding its nonrecourse debt, the Company has total interest-bearing debt at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 of approximately ~~$8.0~~$9.8 million, of which ~~approximately $8.0 million~~ bears interest at a variable rate (approximately 6%6.25% at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010). Therefore, the Company maintains certain market rate risk related to this debt. A change in the interest rates of 1% per annum 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.

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 December 31, 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.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as ~~such term is~~ defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act ~~Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s~~of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is ~~a process~~ designed to provide reasonable assurance ~~to our management and board of directors~~ regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of ~~the~~ financial statements for external purposes in accordance with ~~accounting principles~~ generally accepted ~~in the United States of America.~~

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

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

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

~~Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.~~ All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent ~~limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly,~~limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective ~~internal controls over financial reporting~~ can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement ~~preparation.~~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~~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.

~~ARCHON CORPORATION~~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 inInternal 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

The Company called all outstanding shares of its Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock for redemption on and as of August 31, 2007, at a redemption price of $5.241 per share, which sum included accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. From and after August 31, 2007, all shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock ceased to be outstanding and to accrue dividends. As of ~~August 7, 2010,~~February 9, 2011, the holders of ~~4,261,092~~4.3 million shares of the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock have surrendered their shares and received payment of the redemption price; while ~~155,485~~0.2 million shares have yet to be surrendered and still have the right to receive their payment due without interest. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2010 and September 30, ~~2009,~~2010, exchangeable redeemable preferred stock ~~–unredeemed~~– unredeemed was ~~$814,897~~$0.8 million and ~~$821,259,~~$0.8 million, respectively.

On August 27, 2007, a group of institutional investors filed an action ~~in Nevada,~~ against the ~~Company.~~Company in the United States District Court, entitled DE Shaw Laminar Portfolios et al. v. Archon Corporation, District of Nevada, Case No. 2:07-cv-1146. 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~~$7.2 million 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.
