Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Significant estimates include legal and other contingencies, obligations under players’ club programs and useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.9

~~Table~~Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Authority considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of ~~Contents~~three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks and highly liquid investments. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) has insured $0.3 million of the cash on deposit at FDIC member banks. The Authority believes that there is little risk of loss regarding the uninsured amounts of cash and cash equivalents on deposit with the banks.

A capital asset is considered impaired if both the decline in~~-progress~~ service utility of the capital asset is large in magnitude and the event or change in circumstances is outside the normal life cycle of the capital asset. The Authority is required to evaluate prominent events or changes in circumstances affecting capital assets to determine whether impairment of a capital asset has occurred rather than as ~~projects~~part of the ongoing depreciation expense for the capital asset or upon disposal of the capital asset, and to account for insurance recoveries in the same manner. Common indicators of impairment include evidence of physical damage where restoration efforts are ~~constructed~~needed to restore service utility, enactment or approval of laws or regulations setting standards that the capital asset would not be able to meet, technological development or evidence of obsolescence, a change in the manner or expected duration of use of a capital asset or construction stoppage.

The Authority pays for various expenses for the following departments operated by the Tribe: Tribal Gaming Commission including surveillance, plant operations and human resources. These departmental expenses include but are not limited to, payroll and related expenses, legal and other operational expenses. Total amounts billed by the Tribe to the Casino for these departments, excluding Tribal Gaming Commission and surveillance, for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $10.16 million and $1.0 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The expenses for these departments for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $2.06 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

The Authority pays for various expenses for the Tribal Gaming Commission and surveillance. The Tribal Gaming Commission and surveillance expenses are recorded in Gaming Commission and surveillance expenses on the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Gaming Commission and surveillance expenses for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $0.7 million and $0.89 million, respectively. Gaming Commission and surveillance expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $12.42 million and $12.54 million, respectively.

The Tribe has incurred expenses on behalf of the Authority that relate to the development of the Dugan Property which is now a part of the Tribe’s Reservation. To date, the Authority capitalized approximately $1.5 million related to the Dugan Property.

The Tribe incurred approximately $67 million in total expenses on behalf of the Authority for master planning of the proposed resort and infrastructure improvements on the reservation that benefit the Casino. Almost all of such expenditures were incurred prior to 2009 before the construction was suspended. The Authority reimbursed the Tribe approximately $52.4 million through 2009. In January 2010, the Authority’s Board of Directors authorized the reimbursement of the Tribe in an amount not to exceed approximately $14.9 million of construction costs. The approval included a payment reimbursement schedule to the Tribe of $2.7 million on January 18, 2010, $0.4 million from February 1, 2010 through April 1, 2010 and $0.7 million monthly thereafter without exceeding the $14.9 million. The Authority reimbursed the Tribe $9.5 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and $4.27 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011. ~~A remaining balance of $0.5 million is included in Payable to Tribe in the Condensed Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011.~~ When the reimbursement payments are made or accrued, the related amounts are capitalized and reflected in construction-in-progress. The reimbursed costs consist of engineering and design costs related to the proposed master plan development, including electrical, HVAC, landscaping, interior design services and consulting fees for legal and feasibility services, as well as the construction costs of the lower Acorn Road.

The Tribe incurred expenses related to the reinforcement of the slope on the northwest side of the Reservation near the Casino. During 2010, the Authority’s Board of Directors authorized the reimbursement to the Tribe not to exceed $3.5 million, and an additional $0.3 million was approved in March 2011 for a total of $3.8 million. ~~As of June 30, 2011, the Authority capitalized approximately $3.8 million in construction costs, of which approximately $3.6 million has been paid to the Tribe.~~ This project was completed in April 2011.

In May 2011, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved a revision to the construction schedule for the emergency vehicle access road. The Tribe has been given time to acquire property as an alternative site on which to construct the emergency vehicle access road. Construction must begin the later of 30 days after the end of the rainy season as determined by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service, or 60 days after the Tribe acquires the property, whichever is later. In any event the construction of the emergency vehicle access road must commence no later than June 30, 2012.

License fees expense totaled $0.7 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively.Contents

~~The Authority is an unincorporated instrumentality of the Tribe formed pursuant to an adopted law of the Tribe~~11. RISK While the Authority is not a separate corporation or other legal entity distinct from the Tribe, this tribal law allows the Authority to own and operate its business. This tribal law also provides that the Authority’s obligations and other liabilities are not those of the Tribe and that the obligations and liabilities of the Tribe are not those of the Authority. This law is untested and generally has no direct counterpart in other areas of the law. If this law should prove to be ineffective at limiting the Authority’s liability, the Authority’s business and assets could become subject to claims asserted against the Tribe or its assets. Similarly, the Authority would be liable for such claims if the Tribe waived its sovereign immunity to an extent that allowed enforcement of such claims against the Authority’s business or assets.MANAGEMENT

16The Casino is exposed to various risks of loss related to worker’s compensation and torts; theft of, damage to or destruction of assets; and errors or omissions. The Casino has purchased commercial insurance policies for said risks. There has been no significant reduction of insurance coverage, and settlements have not exceeded coverage in the past three years. The Casino retains the risk of dental claims subject to individual limits ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 per plan member.

Pursuant to the MOA, as amended, the Tribe has agreed to pay Sonoma County up to $75 million in mitigation fees over a 12 year period to offset impacts of the potential losses and impacts to Sonoma County resulting from the Tribe’s various ongoing projects and is intended to support the services being provided by Sonoma County. In addition to the mitigation fees, the Tribe will pay a fee in lieu of Sonoma County’s Transient Occupancy Tax in the amount of 9% of the rental collected on occupied hotel rooms, to be paid quarterly and continuing for five years after the later to occur of the termination of the MOA, as may be extended, or the Tribe’s Compact with the State (which is now terminable in 2020 at the earliest), which fees may be applied to programs and services that serve to promote tourism in Sonoma County.

and is not currently seeking reimbursement from the Authority. Effective 2011, the Authority has begun making annual payments toward the remaining balance of the $75 million.

In May 2011, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved a revision to the payment terms of the MOA. The Authority will pay, on behalf of the Tribe, to the County $3.5 million per year commencing June 30, 2011 and continuing each June 30 until the date of the opening of the first phase of an expanded resort facility (the “Opening Date”). Each annual payment will be recognized over the successive twelve month period. In the event the Opening Date occurs less than one year prior to the end of the term of the MOA (the “Term”), on the Opening Date the parties to the MOA shall calculate the difference between $75 million and the sum of all payments made from the beginning of the MOA (the “Deferred Amount”) through the Opening Date and the Tribe shall be obligated to pay to Sonoma County one-half of the Deferred Amount on the Opening Date and the balance at the end of the Term.

If the Opening Date does not occur prior to the end of the Term, the Deferred Amount shall be payable by September 30, 2020, unless the MOA is properly reopened as provided for therein and an alternative payment schedule is agreed upon by the parties thereto. As of September 30, 2011, $13.8 million has been paid pursuant to the MOA and the Deferred Amount is $61.2 million. Pursuant to the MOA, the future payment schedule is open to renegotiation by either party due to unforeseen circumstances, including the inability to open the first phase of an expanded resort facility. Amortization of the prepaid MOA fee was $0.9 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

On August 3, 2011, the Authority was granted an Easement that will allow the Authority to construct an emergency vehicle access road that is required pursuant to the terms of the MOA. The Authority paid the Easement Acquisition Price to the Grantors pursuant to the Easement. In a separate agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Tribe has agreed to acquire from the Grantors an approximately 310-acre parcel of land (the “Proschold Property”) contiguous to the Tribe’s reservation that includes the land that is the subject of the Easement. The Authority, the Tribe and the Grantors have agreed that the Easement Acquisition Price will be credited towards the purchase price for the Property. On October 31, 2011, the Authority entered into a ten year agreement commencing November 1, 2011 to lease the Proschold Property from the Tribe for a monthly rent of $232,000 for five years and thereafter for $12,000 per month for the remainder of the term for a total commitment of approximately $14.6 million.

The Authority is in the process of constructing the emergency vehicle access road so as to complete the construction in 2012 within the timeframe required by the MOA. The Authority has contracts with independent contractors to begin construction totaling $1.0 million. The road construction is expected to cost approximately $5 million. The Tribe’s Public Works Department acts as the construction manager for the road project and oversees the construction. The cost of this construction will be funded from the Casino’s operating cash flows.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 2, 2011, the Authority and the Tribe reached an agreement with the Majority Senior Noteholders relating to the Senior Notes to establish a framework under which the Authority will seek to restructure such Senior Notes consistent with its long-term growth and development strategy. In connection with this restructuring, on November 2, 2011, the Authority and the Tribe entered into a Senior Notes Forbearance Agreements with the Majority Noteholders and a Tribal Notes Forbearance Agreement with Merrill as the holder of the Tribal Notes.

respect of the Senior Notes or to seek to enforce any of the provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes or the collateral documents related thereto or any of its rights or remedies thereunder or (ii) commence or participate in commencing any involuntary insolvency proceeding against the Tribe or the Authority. The Majority Senior Noteholders have also agreed that, during the Forbearance Period, the Authority will continue to operate the River Rock Casino and make all payments to the Tribe permitted under the Senior Notes Indenture as if no event of default had occurred.

Under the terms of the Tribal Notes Forbearance Agreement, Merrill has agreed that, for so long as the Forbearance Period shall be continuing, it shall not (i) file a complaint or take any other action to commence litigation, an arbitration or other proceeding to collect payment of amounts due in respect of the Tribal Notes or to seek to enforce any of the provisions of the indenture governing the Tribal Notes dated as of December 22, 2006, as amended (the “Tribal Notes Indenture”) or any of its rights or remedies thereunder or (ii) commence or participate in commencing any involuntary insolvency proceeding against the Tribe or the Authority.

To restructure the Senior Notes, the Authority has agreed to (i) conduct an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) pursuant to which the Authority will offer to exchange all issued and outstanding Senior Notes for its new secured senior notes (the “New Senior Notes”) and (ii) issue $27.6 million in aggregate principal amount of its new subordinated notes (the “New Subordinated Notes”), the proceeds of which will be distributed to the Tribe and used by the Tribe to retire the Tribal Notes. The Exchange Offer will be open to all holders of the Senior Notes. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, the Authority has agreed to seek consents from all holders of the Senior Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”) to remove substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default from the Senior Notes Indenture and make certain amendments to the related collateral documents. The Exchange Offer, Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale of the New Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to as the “Restructuring.”

Each of the Majority Senior Noteholders, Merrill, the Tribe and the Authority have also agreed not to seek, solicit, negotiate, vote or otherwise take any action to encourage the making of any alternative proposal to effect a refinancing, restructuring, or modification of the Senior Notes, the Indenture or the Tribal Notes during the Forbearance Period.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements, the Authority is required to commence the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation by November 18, 2011, and to consummate the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale of the New Subordinated Notes by December 31, 2011. These dates may be extended upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes.

Completion of the Restructuring will be dependent on, among other things, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation to implement the Exchange Offer, the Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale to Merrill of the New Subordinated Notes and the Authority’s ability to secure the support of holders representing at least 662/3% principal amount of the Senior Notes, including the Majority Senior Noteholders. As a result, the Authority cannot assure that it will be able to timely effect the Restructuring, or at all. In the event that the Authority is not able to successfully consummate the Restructuring, the Authority intends to explore all other restructuring alternatives available to it at that time.

During the Forbearance Period there will be no changes to Casino operations or material impact on the Authority’s customers, employees, vendors and suppliers.

On October 31, 2011, the Authority entered into a ten year agreement commencing November 1, 2011 to lease the Proschold Property from the Tribe for a monthly rent of $232,000 for five years and thereafter for $12,000 per month for the remainder of the term.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this report.

Overview

We are an unincorporated governmental instrumentality of the Tribe that owns and operates the Casino. We offer Class III slot and video poker gaming machines, house banked table games (including Blackjack and Mini-baccarat), and a wide range of food and beverage offerings.

Recent Operational Highlights

As part of the effort to enhance the overall appeal of our casino, we completed a reconfiguration of our gaming floor in April 2009. This effort has resulted in the reduction of approximately 300 slot machines ~~and 2 table games~~. The Tribe maintained our contractual rights under the Compact to operate a total of 1,600 slot machines in our casino. We considered many factors such as peak period demand, per unit productivity and player comfort in our analysis to ensure that the reduction of gaming devices will not adversely impact our revenues. Throughout 2011 we continued to refine the configuration of our gaming floor.

A targeted, cost-efficient renovation project was completed in our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as part of an overall strategic operating plan for the casino. In previous anticipation of building a new casino resort, the current facility had not been upgraded for several years. In addition to the physical plant of the gaming operation, furniture, fixtures, equipment and gaming software was neither replaced nor repaired to adequately service the needs of the business. The overall appearance and appeal of the casino was insufficient to meet basic customer requirements. Major components of the renovation project included upgrading slot accounting software, slot and table player tracking software, adding new carpeting, new slot chairs, interior and exterior signage and the replacement of paint and wallpaper. To further enhance the overall gaming experience and appeal to a broader spectrum of potential gamers, two additional food amenities were constructed. Fortune Café, with 64 seats, offers a quick service, cook-to-order Asian-themed menu and is designed to be a high-margin, high-volume, quick turn restaurant and the Center Stage Bar & Grill, with 64 seats, offering “bar top” video poker games, was recently expanded to include a casual dining area and an upgraded stage and sound system that hosts live music and entertainment on the weekends.

In an ongoing effort to improve the overall appearance and appeal of the Casino to meet customer requirements, we completed two additional renovation projects in 2010. The first project, a high-limit room offering high-limit slot machines and table games, comfortable seating, a bar with food and beverage service, and a private restroom was directed to appeal to a higher end player. The second project, Lucky Dogz, is a 24-hour snack shop serving hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, snacks and drinks.

In January 2011, the poker tables were removed to make way for approximately 60 penny denomination slot machines that were placed in service in February 2011.

The construction of our new casino resort has temporarily been postponed due to lack of available financing. We are actively reviewing our financing options and remain “shovel ready” to proceed.

Under the terms of the Senior Notes Forbearance Agreement, each Majority Senior Noteholder, severally and not jointly, has agreed not to, during the period beginning on November 2, 2011 and ending upon its expiration or earlier termination in accordance with the Forbearance Agreements (the “Forbearance Period”), (i) file a complaint or take any other action to commence litigation, an arbitration or other proceeding to collect payment of amounts due in respect of the Senior Notes or to seek to enforce any of the provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes or the collateral documents related thereto or any of its rights or remedies thereunder or (ii) commence or participate in commencing any involuntary insolvency proceeding against the Tribe or the Authority. The Majority Senior Noteholders have also agreed that, during the Forbearance Period, the Authority will continue to operate the River Rock Casino and make all payments to the Tribe permitted under the Senior Notes Indenture as if no event of default had occurred.

To restructure the Senior Notes, the Authority has agreed to (i) conduct an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) pursuant to which the Authority will offer to exchange all issued and outstanding Senior Notes for new secured senior notes (the “New Senior Notes”) and (ii) issue $27.6 million in aggregate principal amount of new subordinated notes (the “New Subordinated Notes”), the proceeds of which will be distributed to the Tribe and used by the Tribe to retire the Tribal Notes. The Exchange Offer will be open to all holders of the Senior Notes. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, the Authority has agreed to seek consents from all holders of the Senior Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”) to remove substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default from the Senior Notes Indenture and make certain amendments to the related collateral documents. The Exchange Offer, Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale of the New Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to as the “Restructuring.”

Completion of the Restructuring will be dependent on, among other things, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation to implement the Exchange Offer, the Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale to Merrill of the New Subordinated Notes and the Authority’s ability to secure the support of holders representing at least 662/3% principal amount of the Senior Notes, including the Majority Senior Noteholders. As a result, we cannot assure that we will be able to timely effect the Restructuring, or at all. In the event that we are not able to successfully consummate the Restructuring, we intend to explore all other restructuring alternatives available to us at that time.

FASB Codification Discussion

Over the years, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and other designated GAAP-setting bodies, have issued standards in the form of FASB Statements, Interpretations, FASB Staff Positions, EITF consensuses, AICPA Statements of Position, etc. The FASB recognized the complexity of its standard-setting process and embarked on a revised process in 2004 resulting in the release of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) on July 1, 2009. The ASC was effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009.

The ASC became the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the ASC superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC became nonauthoritative.

Following the ASC, FASB does not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it issues Accounting Standards Updates. FASB does not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right. Accounting Standards Updates serve only to update the ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the ASC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified certain critical accounting policies and estimates that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate those estimates, including those related to asset impairment, accruals for our promotional slot club, compensation and related benefits, revenue recognition, contingencies and litigation. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

· Casino Revenues — Casino revenue is recognized as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Casino revenues are net of accruals for anticipated payouts of progressive slot jackpots and certain player incentives, when earned by the customer.

· Capital Assets — Capital assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Table of Contents

Buildings and improvements:		5-21 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment:		5 years

We evaluate our capital assets for impairment in accordance with the Accounting pronouncement GASB No. 42, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries.” GASB No. 42 establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for impairment of capital assets. Our capital assets include building and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. A capital asset is considered impaired if both the decline in service utility of the capital asset is large in magnitude and the event or change in circumstances is outside the normal life cycle of the capital asset. We are required to evaluate prominent events or changes in circumstances affecting capital assets to determine whether impairment of a capital asset has occurred. Common indicators of impairment include evidence of physical damage where restoration efforts are needed to restore service utility, enactment or approval of laws or regulations setting standards that the capital asset would not be able to meet, technological development or evidence of obsolescence, a change in the manner or expected duration of use of a capital asset or construction stoppage. GASB No. 42 requires us to report the effects of capital asset impairment in our financial statements when they occur, rather than as part of the ongoing depreciation expense for the capital asset or upon disposal of the capital asset, and to account for insurance recoveries in the same manner.

GASB No. 42 requires us to report the effects of capital asset impairment in our financial statements when they occur, rather than as part of the ongoing depreciation expense for the capital asset or upon disposal of the capital asset, and to account for insurance recoveries in the same manner.

· Accrued Progressive Slot Jackpots — Accrued progressive slot jackpots consist of estimates for prizes relating to various games that have accumulated jackpots. We have recorded the anticipated payouts as a reduction of casino revenues and as a component of accrued liabilities. We do not accrue for the base jackpot.

· Contingencies — We assess our exposure to loss contingencies, including legal matters, and provide for an exposure if it is judged to be probable and estimable. If the actual loss from a contingency differs from management’s estimate, operating results could be materially impacted. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2011, we have determined that no accruals for claims and legal actions are required. If circumstances surrounding claims and legal actions change materially, the addition of accruals for such items in future periods may be required.

Codification — There are differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with GASB pronouncements and those prepared in accordance with the Codification issued by the FASB. The statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets are a combined statement under GASB pronouncements. The FASB Codification allows a statement of income or operations and a separate statement of owners’ or shareholders’ equity, which is where distributions to owners would be presented. The amount shown as income before distributions to the Tribe would be the most comparable amount to net income computed under the FASB Codification. We are a separate enterprise fund of the Tribe, a governmental entity, and as such there is no owners’ or shareholders’ equity as traditionally represented under the FASB Codification. The most comparable measure of owners’ equity is presented on our balance sheet as net assets.

The SEC has issued a final rule, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in Exchange Act Periodic Reports of Non-Accelerated Filers that is applicable to us. This rule provides a permanent exemption for nonaccelerated filers from the requirement to obtain an external audit on the effectiveness of internal financial reporting controls provided in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”). Specifically, this rule adopts amendments to SEC rules and forms to conform them to Section 404(c) of SOX, as added by Section 989G of the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.” Section 404(c) provides that Section 404(b) of SOX does not apply with respect to any audit report prepared for an issuer that is neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On August 3, 2011, we entered into a Grant of Temporary Emergency Vehicle Access Easement (the “Easement”) with a group of individuals and family trusts (the “Grantors”) that will allow us to construct an emergency vehicle access road that is required pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement, as amended (the “MOA”), dated March 18, 2008, between Sonoma County (the “County”) and the Tribe. We paid $9.0 million (the “Easement Acquisition Price”) to the Grantors pursuant to the Easement. The Easement is effective until July 31, 2016 (the “Easement Expiration Date”). In a separate agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Tribe has agreed to acquire from the Grantors an approximately 310-acre parcel of land (the “Property”) contiguous to the Tribe’s reservation that includes the land that is the subject of the Easement. We, the Tribe and the Grantors have agreed that the Easement Acquisition Price will be credited towards the purchase price for the Property. The Tribe has agreed to pay the balance of the purchase price for the Property to the Grantors over five years pursuant to a note from the Grantors that requires a final payment by the Easement Expiration Date.

We expect to commence construction of the emergency vehicle access road in the near future so as to complete the construction in 2012 within the timeframes required by the MOA.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Net revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $1.2 million to $31.2 million, from $32.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. We believe the decrease in net revenues is attributable to the decline of slot coin-in between the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010. We believe that this decline can be attributed to the increase in gasoline prices that resulted in fewer visits from our drive-up patrons. Approximately 96.3% of our net revenues were from our gaming activities in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to 96.0% in the comparable prior year period.

Table of Contents

We generated $27.8 million or 89.1% of our net revenues from gaming devices, and $2.2 million, or 7.2% of our net revenues from table games for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $28.4 million or 87.5% of our net revenues from gaming devices, and $2.7 million or 8.5% of net revenues, from table games and poker for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Casino revenue is net of player incentives of $3.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Our win per slot machine per day was $238 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which decreased by $18 from $256 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. We had an average number of slot machines of 1,286 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 1,217 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011, we had 1,285 slot machines on the gaming floor. In January 2011, the poker room was closed and converted to space for approximately 60 penny denomination slot machines that were placed in service in February 2011.

We generated $1.0 million, net of promotional allowances in food and beverage sales for each of the three months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010. The retail value of our food and beverage provided to customers without charge is included in gross revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances. We do not provide complimentary alcoholic beverages to our patrons.

Promotional allowances. Promotional allowances for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.6 million, or 2.0% of net revenues, compared to $0.4 million, or 1.4% of net revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $19.2 million, or 61.6% of net revenues, compared to $19.3 million, or 59.6% of net revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Casino expense includes costs associated with our gaming operations and an allocation of food and beverage expense related to the cost of complimentary activities. Casino expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $4.2 million, or 14.0% of Casino revenues compared to $4.1 million, or 13.0% of casino revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Food and beverage expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.5 million, or 153.5% of food, beverage and retail revenue, net of promotional allowances, compared to $1.7 million, or 163.0% of food and beverage revenue, net of promotional allowances for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our food and beverage expense ratio is significantly higher than the industry average because we have utilized these amenities as an opportunity to build customer loyalty rather than as a source of income.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $0.2 million to $10.0 million, or 32.0% of net revenues, from $10.1 million, or 31.3% of net revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is attributable primarily to a decrease in advertising expenses.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.6 million compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Depreciation expense was computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of capital assets. The increase in depreciation expense is due to the purchase of new slot machines.

Gaming Commission and surveillance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.7 million compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is due to reduction in staff and related payroll expenses and benefits.

The Exchange Offer will be open to all holders of the Senior Notes. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, we have agreed to conduct the Consent Solicitation to remove substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default from the Senior Notes Indenture and make certain amendments to the related collateral documents. The Exchange Offer, Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale of the New Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to as the “Restructuring.”

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Net revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $2.2 million to $62.5 million, from $64.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We believe the decrease in net revenues is attributable to the decline of slot coin-in between the first six months of 2011 and the first six months of 2010. We believe that this decline is attributable to an increase in gasoline prices that resulted in fewer visits from our drive-up patrons. Approximately 96.2% of our net revenues were from our gaming activities in the first six months of 2011, as compared to 96.0% in the comparable prior year period.

We generated $55.2 million or 88.3% of our net revenues from gaming devices, and $4.9 million, or 7.9% of our net revenues from table games and poker for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $56.4 million or 87.1% of our net revenues from gaming devices, and $5.7 million or 8.8% of net revenues from table games and poker for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

~~January~~RESULTS ~~2010,~~OF our Board of Directors authorized the reimbursement to the Tribe in an amount not to exceed approximately $14.9 million of costs incurred by the Tribe for the master planning of the proposed resort and our allocable share of infrastructure improvements on the Tribe’s reservation. The approval included a payment reimbursement schedule to the Tribe of $2.7 million on January 18, 2010, $0.4 million monthly from February 1, 2010 through April 1, 2010 and $0.7 million monthly thereafter without exceeding $14.9 million. We reimbursed the Tribe $9.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. A remaining balance of $0.5 million is included in Payable to Tribe in the Condensed Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011. When the reimbursement payments are made or accrued, the related amounts are capitalized and reflected as construction-in-progress. The reimbursed costs consist of engineering and design costs related to the proposed master plan development, including electrical, HVAC, landscaping, interior design services and consulting fees for legal, and feasibility services, as well as the construction costs of the lower Acorn Road.OPERATIONS

~~Our~~For ~~capital expenditures for~~ the ~~six~~Nine ~~months~~Months ~~ended~~Ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $9.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The addition to capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2011 consisted of construction-in-progress related to the slope reinforcement of which approximately $1.3 million was reimbursed to the Tribe, the master plan development of our resort of which $4.2 million was reimbursed to the Tribe, and costs relating to remodels of our Casino and restaurants, and acquisitions of slot machines, vehicles and equipment of $4.0 million.

~~The~~(Dollars Tribe incurred expenses related to the reinforcement of the slope on the northwest side of the Tribe’s Reservation near the Casino. During 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the reimbursement to the Tribe not to exceed $3.5 million, and an additional $0.3 million was approved in March 2011 for a total of $3.8 million. As of June 30, 2011, we capitalized approximately $3.8 million in construction costs, of which approximately $3.6 million has been paid to the Tribe. This project was completed in April 2011.Thousands)

As part of the effort to enhance the overall appeal of our Casino, we completed a reconfiguration of our gaming floor in April 2009. This effort has resulted in the reduction of approximately 300 slot machines and 2 table games. We will maintain our contractual rights under the Compact to operate a total of 1,600 slot machines in our casino and pay the related RSTF payments. We considered many factors such as peak period demand, per unit productivity, and player comfort in our analysis to ensure that the reduction of gaming devices will not adversely impact our revenues. The reduction of gaming units on the casino floor has provided us an opportunity to upgrade current amenities, improve player comfort and enhance entertainment value. We are confident that these improvements, targeted at improving product appeal, will ultimately open up a greater spectrum of potential consumers within our designated market area. In combination with our continuing effort to improve operational efficiency, upgrading our gaming technology, and refocusing our marketing efforts, we are confident that we will have set a solid foundation for improved and sustained cash flows. Throughout 2011 we continued to refine the configuration of our gaming floor.(Unaudited)

Net revenues. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $1.2 million to $93.8 million, from $95.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We believe the decrease in net revenues is attributable to the decline of slot coin-in between the first nine months of 2011 and the first nine months of 2010. We believe that this decline is attributable to an increase in gasoline prices that resulted in fewer visits from our drive-up patrons. Approximately 96.2% of our net revenues were from our gaming activities during the nine months ended September 30, of 2011, as compared to 95.9% of our net revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Gaming Commission and surveillance expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2.2 million compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease is due to reduction in staff and related payroll expenses and benefits.

The Compact requires us to pay a quarterly fee to the State of California’s revenue sharing trust fund, based on the number of licensed gaming devices we are allowed to operate. Revenue sharing trust fund fees assessed were $1.0 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The MOA currently requires annual payments to the County of $3.5 million. We made our first payment pursuant to the MOA in May 2011. Our MOA expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.9 million. There were no MOA payments made by us during 2010, as prior payments were made by the Tribe.

Income from operations. Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $37.1 million, or 39.5% of net revenues, compared to $36.1 million, or 38.0% of net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Non-operating expense, net. Non-operating expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $15.5 million, or 16.6% of net revenues, compared to $15.6 million or 16.4% of net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily representing interest expense for both periods. Interest costs capitalized in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.1 million. There was no capitalized interest expense for 2010.

Income before distributions to Tribe. Income before distributions to the Tribe for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $21.6 million, or 23.0% of net revenues, compared to $20.5 million, or 21.6% of net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have funded our capital expenditures and working capital requirements primarily through debt financing, gaming equipment supplier financing, other financing, and operating cash flows.

Construction of our Casino and infrastructure improvements commenced on April 1, 2002. As of September 30, 2011, we had spent approximately $247.9 million, net of disposals, on the planning, development and construction of our casino, infrastructure and furniture, fixtures and equipment. We financed the development with borrowings and development advances.

On March 18, 2008, the Tribe and the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors entered into the MOA that, among other things, settled several long-standing legal disputes between the County and the Tribe and provides a binding framework for resolving future disputes. The County agreed to drop its opposition to the Tribe’s application for a liquor license subject to the agreement by the Tribe to construct an emergency vehicle access road that meets the County’s approval.

be extended, or the Tribe’s Compact with the State (which is now terminable in 2020 at the earliest), which fees may be applied to programs and services that serve to promote tourism in the County. Such in lieu fees could total as much as $25 million during the term of the MOA. The Tribe has made the prior payments to the County in the total amount of $10.3 million and is not currently seeking reimbursement from us. Effective 2011, we have begun making annual payments toward the remaining balance of the $75 million.

In May 2011, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved a revision to the payment terms of the MOA. We will pay, on behalf of the Tribe, to the County $3.5 million per year commencing June 30, 2011 and continuing each June 30 until the date of the opening of the first phase of an expanded resort facility (the “Opening Date”). Each annual payment will be recognized over the successive twelve month period. In the event the Opening Date occurs less than one year prior to the end of the term of the MOA (the “Term”), on the Opening Date the parties to the MOA shall calculate the difference between $75.0 million and the sum of all payments made from the beginning of the MOA (the “Deferred Amount”) through the Opening Date and the Tribe shall be obligated to pay to the County one-half of the Deferred Amount on the Opening Date and the balance at the end of the Term. If more than one year remains between the Opening Date and the end of the Term, the Deferred Amount shall be amortized into equal annual payments over the number of years remaining, plus one if the Opening Date occurs before June 30 of that year, and the Tribe shall be obligated to pay the first annual payment on the Opening Date and the remaining annual payments commencing on the June 30 next following the Opening Date and on each June 30 thereafter through the end of the Term. If the Opening Date does not occur prior to the end of the Term, the Deferred Amount shall be payable by September 30, 2020, unless the MOA is properly reopened as provided for therein and an alternative payment schedule is agreed upon by the parties thereto. As of September 30, 2011, $13.8 million has been paid pursuant to the MOA and the Deferred Amount is $61.2 million. Pursuant to the MOA, the future payment schedule is open to renegotiation by either party due to unforeseen circumstances, including the inability to open the first phase of an expanded resort facility.

To date, access to the Tribe’s reservation and our Casino has been over a single, two-lane road. Under the MOA, the Tribe covenanted as a condition to the issuance of our liquor license to construct an emergency vehicle access road from the casino over either the Dugan Property or at an alternative site subject to approval by the County. The MOA requires that road construction commence no later than 60 days after the Dugan Property is taken into trust by the United States for the benefit of the Tribe, the effective date of which was November 2010 (the “Trust Date”) and to be completed no later than 365 days after the Trust Date, subject to an extension if such commencement date occurs during the rainy season (approximately October 15th through April 15th).

In May 2011, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved a revision to the construction schedule for the emergency vehicle access road which will be constructed across both the Dugan and Proschold properties. Construction must begin the later of 30 days after the end of the rainy season as determined by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service, or 60 days after the Tribe acquires the property, whichever is later. In any event the construction of the emergency vehicle access road must commence no later than September 30, 2012. We have contracts with independent contractors to begin construction totaling $1.0 million. The cost of the road construction is projected to be $5.0 million in addition to the $1.5 million already spent on developing the emergency vehicle access road. The construction will be funded by our operating cash flows.

On August 3, 2011, we entered into a Grant of Temporary Emergency Vehicle Access Easement (the “Easement”) with a group of individuals and family trusts (the “Grantors”) that will allow us to construct an emergency vehicle access road that is required pursuant to the terms of the MOA. The route of the emergency access road is through both the Proschold and Dugan Properties. We paid $9.0 million (the “Easement Acquisition Price”) to the Grantors pursuant to the Easement. The Easement is effective until July 31, 2016 (the “Easement Expiration Date”). In a separate agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Tribe has agreed to acquire from the Grantors an approximately 310-acre parcel of land (the “Proschold Property”) contiguous to the Tribe’s reservation that includes the land that is the subject of the Easement. We, the Tribe and the Grantors have agreed that the Easement Acquisition Price will be credited towards the purchase price for the Property. We have reimbursed the Tribe’s $3.3

million of previous option payments related to the purchase of the Proschold Property. On October 31, 2011, we entered into a ten year agreement commencing November 1, 2011 to lease the Proschold Property from the Tribe for a monthly rent of $232,000 for five years and thereafter for $12,000 per month for the remainder of the term for a total commitment of approximately $14.6 million.

On June 28, 2007, we and the Tribe announced plans to build a destination resort. The proposed project includes the construction of a casino, hotel and spa, several food and beverage venues, parking and storage, administrative facilities, a garden and terrace plaza, balconies and terraces, a retail area, conference facilities, and back of house facilities. The proposed project includes three above-ground levels and a hotel tower (up to eight levels) and four below-ground levels. We and the Tribe have suspended preliminary construction relating to this expansion project. We will be unable to proceed with the expansion project for the foreseeable future due to the unavailability of capital and lack of cash flows.

Prior to the suspension of the master planning and related infrastructure improvements on the reservation relating to the expansion project in early 2009, the Tribe incurred approximately $67 million in total expenses on our behalf for the expansion project. We reimbursed the Tribe approximately $52.4 million through December 31, 2009. In January 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the reimbursement to the Tribe in an amount not to exceed approximately $14.9 million of costs incurred by the Tribe for the master planning of the proposed resort and our allocable share of infrastructure improvements on the Tribe’s reservation. The approval included a payment reimbursement schedule to the Tribe of $2.7 million on January 18, 2010, $0.4 million monthly from February 1, 2010 through April 1, 2010 and $0.7 million monthly thereafter without exceeding $14.9 million. We reimbursed the Tribe $9.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. When the reimbursement payments are made or accrued, the related amounts are capitalized and reflected as construction-in-progress. The reimbursed costs consist of engineering and design costs related to the proposed master plan development, including electrical, HVAC, landscaping, interior design services and consulting fees for legal, and feasibility services, as well as the construction costs of the lower Acorn Road.

Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $11.0 million and $13.2 million, respectively. The addition to capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of construction-in-progress related to the slope reinforcement of which approximately $1.6 million was reimbursed to the Tribe, the master plan development of our resort of which $4.7 million was reimbursed to the Tribe, and costs relating to remodels of our Casino and restaurants, and acquisitions of slot machines, vehicles and equipment of $4.8 million.

The Tribe incurred expenses related to the reinforcement of the slope on the northwest side of the Tribe’s Reservation near the Casino. During 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the reimbursement to the Tribe not to exceed $3.5 million, and an additional $0.3 million was approved in March 2011 for a total of $3.8 million. This project was completed in April 2011.

As part of the effort to enhance the overall appeal of our Casino, we completed a reconfiguration of our gaming floor in April 2009. This effort has resulted in the reduction of approximately 300 slot machines and two gaming tables. We will maintain our contractual rights under the Compact to operate a total of 1,600 slot machines in our casino and pay the related RSTF payments. We considered many factors such as peak period demand, per unit productivity, and player comfort in our analysis to ensure that the reduction of gaming devices will not adversely impact our revenues. The reduction of gaming units on the casino floor has provided us an opportunity to upgrade current amenities, improve player comfort and enhance entertainment value. We are confident that these improvements, targeted at improving product appeal, will ultimately open up a greater spectrum of potential consumers within our designated market area. In combination with our continuing effort to improve operational efficiency, upgrading our gaming technology, and refocusing our marketing efforts, we are confident that we will have set a solid foundation for improved and sustained cash flows. Throughout 2011 we continued to refine the configuration of our gaming floor.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents, net of restricted cash of $38.0 million, compared to $36.7 million as of December 31, 2010. We had restricted cash of $4.3 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Our principal source of liquidity during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of cash flows from operating activities.

Restricted cash accounts were established from net proceeds from the Notes Offering and investment earnings thereon set aside in construction financing accounts reserved for land development, more specifically the emergency vehicle access road. Our restricted cash is held in escrow accounts that can only be used for authorized construction disbursements until the related projects are completed. The balance of our restricted cash is reserved for the development of an emergency vehicle access road from our Casino to Highway 128. Our operating account is pledged to the Trustee for the benefit of itself and the holders of the Senior Notes until disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Cash Collateral and Disbursement Agreement. Funds may generally be disbursed by our bank from the operating account for all purposes permitted by the Indenture. We do not currently have the ability to withdraw from our restricted cash accounts and will not until we complete the restructuring of our Senior Notes.

Net cash used in capital and related financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $21.1 million, compared to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Cash flows provided by investing activities consisting of interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was negligible.

Cash flows used in non-capital financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $20.2 million, compared to $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash flows used in non-capital financing activities consist of distributions and transfers to the Tribe. Transfers to the Tribe during the three months ended September 30, 2011 in the amount of $9.8 million, consisted of the Easement Acquisition Price and $0.8 million to reimburse the Tribe for deposits made by the Tribe towards the purchase of the Proschold Property through September 30, 2011.

We believe that existing cash balances as well as cash from operations will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to fund our operations and make planned capital expenditures depends on our future operating performance and cash flows, which, in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Additionally, the Indenture limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness.

We did not make a principal payment that was due on Senior Notes on November 1, 2011. On November 2, 2011, we and the Tribe reached an agreement with the Majority Senior Noteholders of our Senior Notes that matured on November 1, 2011, to establish a framework under which we will seek to restructure such Senior Notes consistent with our long-term growth and development strategy. In connection with this restructuring, on November 2, 2011, we and the Tribe entered the Forbearance Agreements with the Majority Note Holders and a Tribal Notes Forbearance Agreement with Merrill as the holder of the Tribal Notes.

Table of Contents

Under the terms of the Senior Notes Forbearance Agreement, each Majority Senior Noteholder, severally and not jointly, has agreed not to, during the Forbearance Period, (i) file a complaint or take any other action to commence litigation, an arbitration or other proceeding to collect payment of amounts due in respect of its Senior Notes or to seek to enforce any of the provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes or the collateral documents related thereto or any of its rights or remedies thereunder or (ii) commence or participate in commencing any involuntary insolvency proceeding against the Tribe or us. The Majority Senior Noteholders have also agreed that, during the Forbearance Period, we will continue to operate the River Rock Casino and make all payments to the Tribe permitted under the Senior Notes Indenture as if no event of default had occurred.

Under the terms of the Tribal Notes Forbearance Agreement, Merrill has agreed that, for so long as the Forbearance Period shall be continuing, it shall not (i) file a complaint or take any other action to commence litigation, an arbitration or other proceeding to collect payment of amounts due in respect of the Tribal Notes or to seek to enforce any of the provisions of the Tribal Notes Indenture or any of its rights or remedies thereunder or (ii) commence or participate in commencing any involuntary insolvency proceeding against the Tribe or us.

To restructure the Senior Notes, we have agreed to (i) conduct the Exchange Offer pursuant to which we will offer to exchange all issued and outstanding Senior Notes for New Senior Notes and (ii) issue the New Subordinated Notes, the proceeds of which will be distributed to the Tribe and used by the Tribe to retire the Tribal Notes. The Exchange Offer will be open to all holders of the Senior Notes. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, we have agreed to conduct the Consent Solicitation to remove substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default from the Senior Notes Indenture and make certain amendments to the related collateral documents. The Exchange Offer, Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale of the New Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to as the “Restructuring.”

Completion of the Restructuring will be dependent on, among other things, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation to implement the Exchange Offer, the Consent Solicitation and the issuance and sale to Merrill of the New Subordinated Notes and our ability to secure the support of holders representing at least 662/3% principal amount of the Senior Notes, including the Majority Senior Noteholders. As a result, we cannot assure that we will be able to timely effect the Restructuring, or at all. In the event that we are not able to successfully consummate the Restructuring, we intend to explore all other restructuring alternatives available to us at that time.

During the Forbearance Period there will be no changes to Casino operations or material impact on our customers, employees, vendors and suppliers.

Contractual Obligations as of September 30, 2011

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2011, excluding those obligations and commitments to the Tribe (Dollars in Thousands):

Table of Contents

	Total		1 Year		2-3 Years		4-5 Years		Over 5 Years
Long-term debt obligations (a)	$	200,000	$	200,000	$	—	$	—	$	—

(a) Excluded from long-term debt obligations above are interest payments of $9.8 million payable through the maturity of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes matured on November 1, 2011.

(b) The Compact requires us to pay a quarterly fee of $0.3 million to the RSTF based on the number of our licensed gaming devices. Total obligations do not include the RSTF payments.

In January 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the reimbursement of the Tribe in an amount not to exceed $14.9 million for expenses that the Tribe incurred on our behalf for master planning of the proposed resort and our allocable share of infrastructure improvements on the reservation. The approval included a payment schedule under which we agreed to reimburse the Tribe $0.4 million monthly from February 1, 2010 through April 1, 2010, and $0.7 million monthly until paid (see Note 5 of our unaudited condensed financial statements) which are not included in total obligations above.

Regulation and Taxes

We are subject to extensive regulation by the Tribe’s Gaming Commission, the California Gambling Control Commission and the National Indian Gaming Commission. Changes in applicable laws or regulations could have a significant impact on our operations.

On March 18, 2008, the Tribe and the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors entered into the MOA that, among other things, settled several long-standing legal disputes between Sonoma County and the Tribe, and provides a binding framework for resolving future disputes. Under the MOA, the County agreed to drop its opposition to the Tribe’s application for a liquor license. In a related action, the Alexander Valley Association (“AVA”), a local business and residents association which has long objected to the issuance of a liquor license, agreed to withdraw its objections to the license and has persuaded its members and a number of other protestors to do likewise.

On May 29, 2008, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) issued a liquor license to our gaming and entertainment facility. However, the Tribe has agreed to restrict the sale of alcohol to wine and beer between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, and to stop serving alcohol altogether at midnight except for Friday and Saturday nights and the nights before holidays. The Tribe has also agreed not to serve liquor on the Casino floor, although patrons may bring drinks purchased at the restaurant or bar on to the Casino floor. The restrictions may be renegotiated following the first to occur of the three year anniversary of the MOA or the opening of a hotel.

On May 24, 2011 the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors extended the current restrictions on the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages until January 2015.

In addition, the MOA commits the County Sheriff’s Department and Fire Marshall to providing public safety and fire services to the Casino and the Tribe’s future gaming projects on the Tribe’s reservation, provides detailed agreements on off reservation impact mitigation measures, and permits the Tribe’s application to take the Dugan Property into trust to proceed without further opposition by Sonoma County.

Pursuant to the MOA, the Tribe has agreed to pay the County up to $75 million in mitigation fees over a 12 year period to offset impacts of the potential losses and impacts to the County resulting from the Tribe’s various ongoing projects and is intended to support the services being provided by ~~Sonoma~~the County. In addition to the mitigation fees, the Tribe will pay a fee in lieu of the County’s Transient Occupancy Tax in the amount of 9% of the rental collected on occupied hotel rooms, that may be developed by the Tribe, to be paid quarterly and continuing for five years after the later to occur of the termination of the MOA, as may be extended, or the Tribe’s Compact with the State (which is now terminable in 2020 at the earliest), which fees may be applied to programs and services that serve to promote tourism in ~~Sonoma~~the County. Such in lieu fees could total as much as $25 million during the term of the MOA. The Tribe has made the prior payments to the County in the total amount of $10.3 million and is not currently seeking reimbursement from us. Effective 2011, ~~the~~we ~~Authority~~have ~~has~~ begun making annual payments toward the remaining balance of the $75 million.

Table of Contents

In May 2011, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved a revision to the payment terms of the MOA. ~~The~~we ~~Authority~~ will pay, on behalf of the Tribe, to the County $3.5 million per year commencing June 30, 2011 and continuing each June 30 until the date of the opening of the first phase of an expanded resort facility (the “Opening Date”). Each annual payment will be recognized over the successive twelve month period. In the event the Opening Date occurs less than one year prior to the end of the term of the MOA (the “Term”), on the Opening Date the parties to the MOA shall calculate the difference between $75.0 million and the sum of all payments made from the beginning of the MOA (the “Deferred Amount”) through the Opening Date and the Tribe shall be obligated to pay to the County one-half of the Deferred Amount on the Opening Date and the balance at the end of the Term. If more than one year remains between the Opening Date and the end of the Term, the Deferred Amount shall be amortized into equal annual payments over the number of years remaining, plus one if the Opening Date occurs before June 30 of that year, and the Tribe shall be obligated to pay the first annual payment on the Opening Date and the remaining annual payments commencing on the June 30 next following the Opening Date and on each June 30 thereafter through the end of the Term. If the Opening Date does not occur prior to the end of the Term, the Deferred Amount shall be payable by ~~June~~ September 30, 2020, unless the MOA is properly reopened as provided for therein and an alternative payment schedule is agreed upon by the parties thereto. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2011, $13.8 million has been paid pursuant to the MOA and the Deferred Amount is $61.2 million. Pursuant to the MOA, the future payment schedule is open to renegotiation by either party due to unforeseen circumstances, including the inability to open the first phase of an expanded resort facility.

We believe the MOA has had significant positive impacts on the conduct of our business and our and the Tribe’s ability to develop our expansions plans and construct our proposed hotel and casino resort.

Since we are an unincorporated governmental instrumentality of the Tribe located on reservation land held in trust by the United States of America, we are not subject to federal or state income taxes. Various efforts have been made in Congress over the past several years to enact legislation that would subject the income of tribal governmental business entities, such as us, to federal income tax. Although no such legislation has been enacted, similar legislation could be passed in the future. It is not possible to determine with certainty the likelihood of possible changes in tax law or in the administration of such law. Such changes, if adopted, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and cash ~~flow~~flows from operations.

Impact of Inflation

Absent changes in competitive and economic conditions or in specific prices affecting the casino industry, we do not expect that inflation will have a significant impact on our Casino operations. Changes in specific prices, such as fuel and transportation prices, relative to the general rate of inflation may have a material adverse effect on the casino industry in general.

Seasonality

We anticipate that activity at our Casino may be modestly seasonal with stronger results expected during the summer due in part to the relatively higher levels of tourism during such times of the year. In addition, our operations may be impacted by adverse weather conditions and fluctuations in the tourism business. Accordingly, our results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and the results of one quarter may not be indicative of results expected from future quarters.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Table of Contents

Through ~~June~~ September 30, 2011, we had not invested in derivative or foreign currency-based financial instruments. We primarily have invested in money markets. As such, we do not believe we have material exposure to market risk.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the report we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~June~~ September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes to Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in litigation and disputes from time to time in the ordinary course of business with vendors and patrons.

~~We also compete with other forms of gaming such as statewide lotteries, live and simulcast pari-mutuel wagering and card rooms. Initiatives~~ expanding ~~competitive forms of gaming have been proposed and may, from time to time, be approved by state or local authorities in California. Examples include state legislation passed in 2007 expanding~~ off-site betting on horse races through expanded advance deposit wagering and increased satellite wagering sites, state legislation passed in September 2010 allowing for exchange wagering on horse races, a legislative proposal in the California Assembly in February 2007 to amend the California Penal Code to expand permitted bingo games by charitable organizations to include electronic bingo cards, proposals put forth by former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2007 and 2009, respectively, to authorize the use of instant lottery video terminals at horse racing tracks and card rooms and to dedicate a higher percentage of California State Lottery revenues to player winnings, and bills introduced in the California State Senate in May 2010 and January 2011 to authorize online intrastate poker in California.

In August 2009, a U.S. district court judge issued an order, in ongoing litigation regarding the proper number of total slot machines allowed under the 1999 tribal-state gaming compacts, requiring that the State of California issue an additional 10,549 slot machine licenses. A drawing was held on October 5, 2009, and 3,548 licenses were awarded to eleven different Indian tribes, leaving 7,001 slot machine licenses available in the statewide pool. On August 20, 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reduced the number of additional slot machine licenses from 10,549 to 8,050, and the court denied the State of California’s petition for a rehearing on January 28, 2011. The State of California did not appeal the decision, and thus the appeals court’s decision is final. As a result, there are 4,502 slot machine licenses not awarded in the October 2009 draw that remain available, and the Tribe or any other Indian tribe(s) could request California to hold a draw for some or all of these licenses.

Our Easement and our right to use our emergency vehicle access road may terminate in 2016 unless the Tribe pays off the Mortgage Note.

On August 3, 2011, we acquired the Easement for $9.0 million from the Grantors. The Easement will allow us to construct the emergency vehicle access road required by the MOA. The Easement is effective until July 31, 2016. In a separate agreement, the Tribe acquired the Proschold Property from the Grantors. The Easement Acquisition Price and $3.3 million dollar in deposit funds from the Tribe (of which $0.8 million was reimbursed by us through September 30, 2011 and the remaining $2.5 million was reimbursed to the Tribe in October 2011) were credited towards the purchase price for the Proschold Property. The balance of the purchase price for the Proschold Property, or $11.7 million, is payable by the Tribe to the Grantors over five years pursuant to a Mortgage Note from the Tribe that bears interest at 4% per annum and requires a final balloon payment of $10.6 million on the Easement Expiration Date. On October 31, 2011, we leased the Proschold Property from the Tribe for a term of 10 years pursuant to which we will pay $232,000 per month in the first five years of the lease and thereafter for $12,000 per month for the remaining term of the lease. If we fail to make the annual lease payments of $2.8 million to the Tribe in the first five years of the lease, it is unlikely that the Tribe will have sufficient cash to make payments in full on the Mortgage Note. In that event and if the Mortgage Note cannot be refinanced, the Grantors will have certain rights to foreclose upon the Proschold Property. The Easement will terminate on July 31, 2016. If the Tribe does not pay the Mortgage Note in full, we may not be able to negotiate an extension of the Easement beyond its termination date. The termination of the Easement could result in an interruption of our ability to use the emergency vehicle access road and could result in a breach of the MOA.

The construction of the emergency access road as required by the MOA is subject to risks associated with such construction projects and could result in delays and/or cost overruns.

We plan to complete the construction of the emergency vehicle access road in 2012 within the timeframe required by the MOA. We estimate that the road construction can be completed for approximately $5.0 million. We do not currently have the ability to withdraw from our restricted cash accounts and will not until we complete the restructuring of the Senior Notes Further, construction projects such as the construction of the emergency vehicle access road are subject to significant development and construction risks, which could cause unanticipated cost increases and delays. These risks include, among others, unknown site conditions, adverse weather conditions, potential labor disputes, delays in obtaining necessary permits and approvals, changes in laws and regulations, engineering and excavation equipment issues, potential cost increases and similar variables, which could result in

increased construction costs. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will complete construction of the emergency vehicle access road on time or within our expected budget, or that we will not be required to borrow additional funds permitted to be borrowed under the Indenture in order to complete construction of the emergency vehicle access road.
