                          SANTA FE GAMING CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)
                                        
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Santa Fe Gaming Corporation, formerly known as Sahara Gaming Corporation, (the
"Company" or "Santa Fe Gaming"), a publicly traded Nevada corporation, is the
successor corporation of two affiliates, Sahara Resorts and Sahara Casino
Partners, L.P., which combined in a business combination in September, 1993. The
Company's primary business operations have been conducted through four wholly
owned subsidiary corporations, Sahara Nevada Corp. ("SNC"), Hacienda Hotel Inc.
("HHI"), Santa Fe Hotel Inc. ("SFHI") and Pioneer Hotel Inc. ("PHI") (the
"Operating Companies"). HHI sold substantially all the assets of the Hacienda
Resort Hotel and Casino (the "Hacienda") in August 1995 and SNC sold
substantially all the assets of the Sahara Hotel and Casino (the "Sahara") in
October 1995. SFHI owns and operates the Santa Fe Hotel and Casino (the "Santa
Fe"), located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and PHI owns and operates the Pioneer Hotel
& Gambling Hall (the "Pioneer") in Laughlin, Nevada.

These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report to stockholders for the year ended September 30, 1995.
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at
June 30, 1996, the results of its operations for the three and nine month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the changes in stockholders' equity for
the nine month period ended June 30, 1996, and cash flows for the nine month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Approximately $5.7 million of the Company's consolidated cash and short-term
investments is held by PHI and is subject to certain restrictions, including
restrictions on its

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
availability for distribution to the Company, by the terms of an indenture
pursuant to which $120.0 million principal amount 13-1/2% First Mortgage Bonds
due 1998 ("13-1/2% Notes") of Pioneer Finance Corp. were issued, the proceeds of
which were loaned to PHI.

In November 1995, the Company made an equity contribution of $15 million in cash
to PHI, in accordance with terms of an agreement reached with holders of the 13
1/2% Notes pursuant to which the holders of the 13 1/2% Notes consented to the
sale of the Hacienda and Sahara. In December 1995, the Pioneer used $3 million
of such funds together with cash on hand to make the December 1, 1995 semi-
annual interest payment on the 13 1/2% Notes of $5.6 million. In March 1996, the
Pioneer used $8.6 million of such funds to acquire $10.2 million principal
amount of 13 1/2% Notes and accrued interest thereon. The funds remaining from
the equity contribution represent approximately $3.5 million of the $5.7 million
of cash and short term investments held at the Pioneer and are restricted in use
for debt service on the 13 1/2% Notes, repurchase of 13 1/2% Notes, capital
expenditures at the Pioneer, and contribution to capital of a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PHI that owns real property in Henderson, Nevada.

Approximately $3.6 million of the Company's consolidated cash and short term
investments is held by SFHI and is subject to certain restrictions, including
restrictions on its availability for distribution to the Company, by the terms
of an indenture pursuant to which $115.0 million principal amount 11% First
Mortgage Notes due 2000 ("11% Notes") of SFHI were issued.

NOTE 4 - ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

On October 2, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the
Sahara for $128 million in cash and exchanged 22 acres of land, a portion of
which was utilized by the Sahara as a parking lot, for 27 acres of land just
south of the Sahara on Las Vegas Boulevard, on which a water theme park
currently operates. The Company utilized approximately $122 million in proceeds
to retire and defease the approximately $115 million outstanding principal
amount of 12 1/8% Notes issued by Sahara Finance Corp ("12 1/8% Notes") and
secured by the Sahara assets and to pay costs associated with the transaction,
including approximately $6 million of costs associated with the defeasance of
the 12 1/8% Notes. The net proceeds of approximately $6 million were added to
working capital. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $40.8 million (net of
the extinguishment of debt charge discussed in Note 7) on the sale in the
quarter ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 5 - LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT

In connection with the acquisition of the 27 acre parcel, the Company assumed
the operating lease under which a water theme park operates. The lease may be
terminated by the Company at any time after December 1996. The Company has
guaranteed payments by the tenant of a loan to the prior owner of the property
("tenant loan") and has

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
agreed to pay the outstanding balance of the loan in full in certain situations,
including in the event the lease is terminated for any reason prior to 2004. The
tenant loan, which is amortized through monthly principal and interest payments
through December 2004, had an outstanding balance of $6.0 million as of June 30,
1996. Under the terms of the lease, as amended, the water-theme park remits a
base rent of approximately $16,000 monthly plus an annual rent payment based on
gross receipts. The 27 acre parcel was valued at approximately $22 million for
purposes of the Sahara sale and is reported as land held for development in the
June 30, 1996 consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET

In October 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to transfer its rights
and obligations under contracts with members of Camperland, an existing
recreational vehicle park (See Note 10 - Subsequent Events). Camperland is a
recreational vehicle park located on approximately 14 acres of Hacienda property
that, since August 31, 1995, has been operated by the Company under a lease with
the new owners of the Hacienda.

In November 1995, the Company sold the Spirit of America barge vessel ("Spirit")
for $3.3 million which approximated the carrying value of the Spirit in the
consolidated balance sheet. The Spirit was acquired in connection with the
Company's proposed development of a casino entertainment complex in Parkville,
Missouri. Net proceeds of $3.2 million from the sale were added to general
working capital.

In May 1996, the Company purchased from SFHI a 22 acre parcel of undeveloped
land held by SFHI for approximately $2.85 million, which the Company and SFHI
believe to be the fair market value of the property. The Company paid $2.0
million in cash and assumed an existing $850,000 note secured by the property.
The $850,000 note maturity date of November 1996 was extended two years until
November 1998. SFHI acquired the property in

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
November 1994 for a purchase price of $1.6 million. The intercompany gain on
sale recorded by SFHI has been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 7 - DEBT DUE UPON SALE OF ASSETS

In connection with the sale of the Sahara, the Company made a tender offer to
purchase for cash all outstanding 12 1/8% Notes at a price of $1,047 per $1,000
principal amount, plus accrued interest. The Company accepted for payment and
retired $89.2 million original principal amount of 12 1/8% Notes tendered in the
offer and the Company defeased the remaining approximately $27 million balance
of 12 1/8% Notes. In November 1995, the Company purchased and retired the
remaining $27 million original principal amount of 12 1/8% Notes that were
defeased upon consummation of the sale. The Company recorded an approximate $6.0
million charge for extinguishment of debt against the gain on the sale of the
Sahara in the quarter ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 8 - LONG-TERM DEBT

In December 1995, the Company acquired $2.6 million principal amount of 10 1/4%
Subordinated Debentures due 1998 (the "10 1/4% Debentures"). The Company retired
$2.3 million principal amount of 10 1/4% Debentures to meet a sinking fund
payment due in June 1996 and $300,000 to partially satisfy the sinking fund
payment due in June 1997.

In January 1996, the Company completed the repurchase of an aggregate of $38.1
million principal amount of long-term debt, comprised of $25.6 million principal
amount of 11% Notes and $12.5 million principal amount 13 1/2% Notes. The
Company retired $5.6 million principal amount of the 11% Notes and the entire
$12.5 million principal amount of the 13 1/2% Notes acquired. The Company
financed the repurchase of debt with $7.5 million of working capital and the net
proceeds of a private placement of $20 million principal amount of 12% Notes due
1999 (the "12% Notes") issued by the Company's subsidiary, Sahara Las Vegas
Corp. In connection with these transactions, the Company satisfied a contingent
obligation to make additional equity contributions to its subsidiary, PHI. In
addition, in March 1996, the Company completed the repurchase of $10.2 million
principal amount of 13 1/2% Notes and accrued interest thereon for $8.6 million.
As a result of the January and March repurchases, at June 30, 1996 the
outstanding balances of the 11% Notes and of the 13 1/2% Notes were
approximately $99.4 million and $60.0 million, respectively. The Company
recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $7.9 million after tax related
to the debt repurchases in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

The 12% Notes are secured by, among other things, the Company's 27 acre parcel
of real property on the Las Vegas Strip and $20 million principal amount of the
11% Notes acquired. The 12% Notes are guaranteed by the Company. Interest is
payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31, and principal payments of
$500,000 are due December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998. In addition, pursuant to the
12% Note Agreement, if, as of the end of any quarter commencing with the quarter
ending

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
December 31, 1997, SFHI Cash Flow (as defined in the 12% Note Agreement) for the
preceding four quarter period is less than $13.5 million, the Company will be
required to redeem $3.5 million principal amount of 12% Notes at a redemption
price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Such obligation, if it arises, will be reduced-on-a-dollar for dollar basis to
the extent that, during the period in which the Company is so required to
repurchase 12% Notes, the Company acquires 11% Notes and pledges such acquired
11% Notes as additional collateral for the 12% Notes or contributes the acquired
11% Notes to SFHI and causes the contributed SFHI Notes to be canceled. The
Company may, at its option, exclude a fiscal quarter from the calculation of
SFHI Cash Flow if SFHI undertakes certain capital expenditures in such quarter
and provides notification under the 12% note agreement.

In May 1996 pursuant to the 12% Note Agreement under which Sahara Las Vegas
Corp. issued the 12% Notes, the Company made a capital contribution to the SFHI
in the amount of $3 million.

In February 1996, SFHI prepaid in full the $1.6 million principal balance on its
working capital loan agreement. The working capital loan agreement required
monthly principal and interest payments of $157,000 and matured in December
1996.

In May 1996, the Company purchased from SFHI a 22 acre parcel of undeveloped 
land held by SFHI for approximately $2.85 million, which the Company and SFHI 
believe to be the fair market value of the property.  The Company paid $2.0 
million in cash and assumed an existing $850,000 note secured by the property.  
The $850,000 note maturity date of November 1996 was extended two years until 
November 1998.

SFHI and SNC have modified the 12 1/8% affiliate note due August 1996 from SFHI
in favor of SNC, pursuant to which the maturity date is extended to December 31,
1997, monthly principal and interest payments are eliminated and partial
prepayments are allowed. The outstanding principal amount of the affiliate note
at June 30, 1996 was $5.0 million.

NOTE 8 - LEASES

In February 1996, the Company completed a $1.75 million sale leaseback
transaction with respect to gaming equipment at the Santa Fe. The lease requires
an approximate $70,000 per month rental payment over a 24 month term. In May
1996, the Company completed a $1.835 million sale leaseback transaction with
respect to gaming equipment at the Santa Fe. The lease requires an approximate
$75,000 per month payment over a 24 month term. In conjunction with the
transactions, the Company deferred a $950,000 net gain which will be recognized
over the lease term.

In June 1996, the Company completed a $1.4 million lease transaction with
respect to a new slot tracking system at the Santa Fe. The lease requires an
approximate $39,500 per month over a 36 month term.

                                      10

NOTE 9 - INVESTMENT

In February 1996, the Company acquired a 50% equity interest for $175,000 in a
restaurant/tavern operation in northwest Las Vegas, Santa Fe Mining Company,
L.L.C. ("Santa Fe Mining"). The Company and its partner have guaranteed a
$850,000 loan incurred to finance construction and equipment and a $100,000
working capital line of credit. The restaurant/tavern opened July 1, 1996. In
August 1996, the Company received final approval for a restricted gaming license
for the Santa Fe Mining location.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

In July 1996, the Company entered into an amended agreement with an existing
recreational vehicle park relating to the relocation of Camperland operations.
Pursuant to the amended agreement, the Company paid approximately $2.3 million
to transfer its rights and obligations under contracts with members of
Camperland. The Company is obligated to make an additional payment of $750,000
in the event the owners of the existing park relocate the Camperland membership
to a mutually acceptable new location. The Company received a First Deed of
Trust on 14 acres of vacant land owned by the existing park to secure
performance of the existing park's operators in connection with the assumption
of the Camperland contracts. By July 31, 1996 the Camperland operations were
moved to the new park and the lease with the new owners of Hacienda was
terminated. As a result of the termination of the Hacienda lease prior to
February 1997, the Hacienda owners paid the Company approximately $350,000.

In July 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell for $3.6 million in
cash an undeveloped 40 acre parcel of land located approximately eight miles
south of the Hacienda on Las Vegas Boulevard South. This land was acquired for
$2.4 million in September 1995 as a potential location to relocate the
Camperland membership. The sale is subject to certain conditions which must be
met by August 31, 1996 with final closing to occur on or before September 10,

1996 and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All
information included in these financial statements is the representation of the
Company's management.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of inquiries of
Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated condensed financial statements in order for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Santa Fe Gaming Corporation and
subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein); and in our report dated December 16, 1995 we expressed
an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed
balance sheet as of September 30, 1995 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

                          SANTA FE GAMING CORPORATION

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Nine Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
- ----------------------------------------------------------------


CONSOLIDATED

Santa Fe Gaming Corporation (the "Company") sold substantially all the assets of
the Hacienda Hotel and Casino (the "Hacienda") in August 1995 and of the Sahara
Hotel and Casino (the "Sahara") in October 1995. Accordingly, consolidated
results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 are not comparable
to the same period in the prior year.

Consolidated revenues for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 were $123.9
million, a $65.6 million or 34.6% decrease from $189.5 million for the same
period in fiscal 1995. Revenues in the current period include $40.8 million gain
on the sale of substantially all the assets of the Sahara. The Hacienda and
Sahara contributed $103.9 million in the prior year revenues. Revenues at the
Santa Fe Hotel and Casino (the "Santa Fe") and Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall
(the "Pioneer") decreased $3.0 million and $700,000, respectively, when compared
to the prior year period.

Consolidated operating income for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 was
$45.0 million, a $41.9 million or 1,378.4% increase from $3.0 million for the
same period in fiscal 1995. Included in operating income in the current period
is a $40.8 million gain on the sale of substantially all the assets of the
Sahara and in the prior year is a $14.9 million write-down of development costs.
The Hacienda and Sahara contributed $5.8 million in the prior year to operating
income. Operating income at the Santa Fe, excluding the write-down of
development costs, decreased $4.8 million and at the Pioneer decreased $2.4
million, in the nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the nine months
ended June 30, 1995.

Consolidated interest expense for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 was
$18.7 million, a $15.0 million decrease compared to $33.7 million for the same
period in fiscal 1995. The Hacienda and Sahara contributed $11.1 million to the
prior year interest expense. Interest expense increased by $100,000 at the Santa
Fe and decreased by $3.1 million at the Pioneer in the 1996 period.

Consolidated income before income taxes and extraordinary item for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1996 was $26.2 million, a $56.9 million increase
compared to a loss of $30.7 million in the same period in the prior year.
The increase in the current period resulted from a $40.8 million gain on the
sale of substantially all the assets of the

                                      15
<PAGE>
 
Sahara in the current year and a $14.9 million write-down of development costs
reported in the prior year. The Hacienda and Sahara were responsible for $5.8
million of the $30.7 million net loss before income taxes and extraordinary item
in the prior year. The loss before income taxes and extraordinary item at the
Santa Fe decreased $10.0 million to $6.9 million in the nine month period ended
June 30, 1996 compared to the prior year period in which the loss was $16.9
million. The Pioneer recorded a loss before income taxes and extraordinary item
of $4.8 million, a $700,000 improvement from the $5.5 million loss before income
taxes recorded in the prior year period.

In January and March 1996, the Company completed the repurchase of an aggregate
of $48.3 million principal amount of long-term debt, comprised of $25.6 million
principal amount of 11% First Mortgage Notes due 2000 ("11% Notes") and $22.7
million principal amount 13 1/2% First Mortgage Bonds due 1998 ("13 1/2%
Notes"). As a result, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $7.9 million
after tax related to the debt repurchase in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.


SANTA FE

Revenues at the Santa Fe decreased 6.0%, or $3.0 million, in the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 to $47.1 million as compared to $50.1 million in the same
period in the prior year. Included in revenues in the current period is
approximately a $1.2 million intercompany gain on the sale of land. Casino
revenues decreased 9.0%, or $3.4 million, to $34.7 million from $38.1 million,
comprised of decreases in slot revenue of 8.4%, or $2.7 million, and table game
revenue of 16.7%, or $700,000. Management believes the decrease is due primarily
to increased competition resulting from the opening of two competing facilities
within five miles of the Santa Fe in December 1994 and July 1995, the expansions
of the two competing facilities which opened in April and May 1996 and by
restricted access to the property, beginning in April 1996, during construction
of an interchange next to the property that is expected ultimately to improve
traffic flow to the property. 

Operating expenses decreased by 23.1%, or $13.1 million. In the prior year, the
Santa Fe recorded a $14.9 million write-down of development costs. Excluding the
write-down, operating expenses increased 4.2% or $1.8 million. Casino expenses
increased by 8.4%, or $1.3 million, primarily due to increased payroll and other
costs, in the first three months of the current year, associated with operating
an additional 15,000 square feet of casino space and increased promotional costs
incurred as a result of the expanding competition in the area. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased 14.0%, or $800,000, primarily as a result
of increased advertising and promotional costs. Rent expense increased $300,000
due to the lease of slot equipment. A decrease in depreciation and amortization
of 8.9% or $600,000, was due to equipment placed in service at the opening of
the Santa Fe in February 1991 being fully depreciated, and the sale of slot
equipment. Operating income decreased $4.8 million or 58.9% to $3.3 million in
1996 from $8.1 million in 1995 excluding a $14.9 million write-down of
development costs.

Interest expense increased $100,000, or 1.0% to $10.2 million in 1996 compared
to $10.1 million in 1995. The increase is primarily due to the expensing of
interest costs on approximately $32 million of debt commencing in July 1995,
which were previously

                                      16
<PAGE>
 
capitalized in connection with the development of the Company's proposed
Parkville project. This increase was partially offset by the retirement of $21
million principal amount of 11% Notes in July 1995 pursuant to the terms of a
repurchase offer and the retirement of $5.6 million principal amount of 11%
Notes acquired in January 1996.

PIONEER

Revenues at the Pioneer decreased 2.0%, or $700,000, to $34.5 million. Casino
revenues were $30.3 million in 1996, representing a decrease of 2.7%, or
$900,000, comprised of a decrease in slot revenue of 4.1%, or $1.1 million,
offset by an increase of 3.5% or $100,000 in table games revenues, and 19.3%, or
$100,000 in other gaming revenues. The decrease in the fiscal 1996 period is
believed to be primarily due to the continued competitive gaming market
environment in and around Laughlin, including Indian gaming facilities operating
in Arizona and Southern California.

Operating expenses increased $1.7 million or 5.6% to $32.1 million. Casino
expenses increased 2.6%, or $400,000, primarily due to increased promotional
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16.0%, or
$500,000, primarily as a result of increased advertising and promotional costs.
Increases in depreciation and amortization expenses of 17.8% or $700,000 were
related to the expansion project completed in December 1994. Accordingly,
operating income decreased by 49.0% or $2.4 million, to $2.5 million in fiscal
1996 from $4.9 million in fiscal 1995.

Interest expense decreased $3.1 million or 29.9% to $7.3 million in 1996
compared to $10.4 million in 1995, primarily due to the repurchase of $20.0
million principal amount of 13 1/2% Notes in September 1995, and $22.8 million
principal amount of 13 1/2% Notes in January and March 1996.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
- -----------------------------------------

CONSOLIDATED

As a result of the sale of substantially all the assets of Hacienda in August
1995 and of the Sahara in October 1995, consolidated results of operations for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 are not comparable to the same period in
the prior year.

Consolidated revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 were $26.0
million, a $37.6 million or 59.1% decrease from $63.5 million for the same
period in fiscal 1995. The Hacienda and Sahara contributed $34.7 million to the
prior year revenues. Revenues at the Santa Fe and Pioneer decreased $1.3 million
and $600,000, respectively, when compared to the prior year period.

Consolidated operating loss for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was

                                      17
<PAGE>
 
$400,000, a $10.0 million or 96.4% decrease from $10.4 million for the same
period in fiscal 1995. The Hacienda and Sahara contributed $1.0 million in the
prior year to operating income. Operating income increased $13.4 million or
107.3% to $900,000 at the Santa Fe and decreased $800,000 or 69.1% to $400,000
at the Pioneer in the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1995.

Consolidated interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was
$5.8 million, a $5.6 million decrease compared to $11.4 million for the same
period in fiscal 1995. The Hacienda and Sahara contributed $3.8 million to the
prior year interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $1.4 million and
$100,000 at the Pioneer and Santa Fe, respectively, in the 1996 period.

Consolidated loss before income taxes and extraordinary item for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996 was $6.1 million, a $15.6 million improvement
compared to the loss of $21.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  
The improvement in the current period resulted from a $14.9 million write-down
of development costs in the prior year's quarter.  The Hacienda and Sahara were
responsible for $2.7 million of the $21.7 million loss before income taxes and
extraordinary item in the prior year.  The loss before income taxes and
extraordinary item at the Santa Fe decreased by $13.5 to $2.4 million in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to the prior year period in which the loss
was $15.9 million due to the $14.9 million in write-down in the 1995 period. The
Pioneer recorded a loss before income taxes and extraordinary item of $1.7
million, a $600,000 improvement from the $2.3 million loss before income taxes
recorded in the prior year period.

SANTA FE

Revenues at the Santa Fe decreased 8.0%, or $1.3 million, in the three months
ended June 31, 1996 to $15.6 million as compared to $16.9 million in the same
period in the prior year. Included in revenues in the current period is
approximately a $1.2 million intercompany gain on sale of land. Casino revenues
decreased 15.9%, or $2.0 million, to $10.8 million from $12.9 million, comprised
of decreases in slot revenue of 15.2%, or $1.7 million, of table game revenue of
16.5%, or $200,000, and of $200,000, or 26.3%, in other gaming revenues. The
food and beverage departments posted a decrease in revenues of $300,000 or 13.2%
over the same period in the prior year. Management believes the decreases are
due primarily to increased competition and restricted access to the property due
to construction of an interchange adjacent to the property.

Operating expenses decreased by 50.0%, or $14.7 million, to $14.7 million. In
the prior year's quarter, the Santa Fe recorded a $14.9 million write-down of
development costs. Excluding the write-down, operating expenses increased 1.3%
or $200,000. Casino expenses increased by 3.8%, or $200,000, primarily due to
increased promotional costs as a result of the expanding competition in the
area. General and administrative expenses increased 3.3%, or $100,000 over the
prior year period, primarily as a result of increased advertising and
promotional costs. Rent expense increased $300,000 due to the lease of

                                      18
<PAGE>
 
slot equipment. A decrease in depreciation and amortization of 16.3% or
$400,000, was due to the full depreciation of equipment placed in service at the
opening of the Santa Fe in February 1991, and the sale of slot equipment.
Accordingly, operating income increased $13.4 million or 107.3% to $900,000 in
1996 from a loss of $12.4 million in 1995.


PIONEER

Revenues at the Pioneer decreased 5.3%, or $600,000, to $11.1 million. Casino
revenues were $9.5 million in 1996, representing a decrease of 6.7%, or
$700,000. Slot revenue decreased $600,000 or 6.9% and table game revenues
decreased $100,000 or 10.0%. The decrease in 1996 is believed to be primarily
due to the continuing competitive gaming market environment in and around
Laughlin, including Indian gaming facilities opened in Arizona and Southern
California.

Operating expenses increased $200,000 or 1.8% to $10.7 million. Casino expenses
increased 1.8%, or $100,000, primarily due to increased promotional expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12.9%, or $100,000,
primarily as a result of increased advertising and promotional costs.
Accordingly, operating income decreased by 69.1% or $800,000, to $400,000 in
fiscal 1996 from $1.2 million in fiscal 1995.

Interest expense decreased $1.4 million or 40.1% to $2.1 million in 1996
compared to $3.5 million in 1995, primarily due to the repurchase of $20 million
principal amount of 13 1/2% Notes in September 1995, and $22.8 million principal
amount of 13 1/2% Notes in January and March 1996.


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

The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") were $3.2 million and $15.1 million for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1996, excluding a $40.8 million gain from the sale of the Sahara
in the nine month period. In the prior year, EBITDA was an $11.8 million and
$39.3 million for the three and nine month periods, excluding the $14.9 million
write-down of development costs. In the prior year the Hacienda and Sahara
contributed EBITDA of $4.4 million and $16.0 million for the three and nine
month periods, respectively. The Company expects EBITDA for the balance of
fiscal 1996 to be reduced compared to the prior year periods due to the sale of
the Hacienda and Sahara, which contributed $17.9 million in the aggregate to
EBITDA in fiscal 1995, exclusive of the gain on the sales of the Sahara and the
Hacienda. Excluding EBITDA attributable to the Sahara and Hacienda, the
Company's EBITDA in the current year declined $4.3 million

                                      19
<PAGE>
 
and $10.0 million, respectively, in the three and nine month periods ended June
30, 1996. The current year decline is primarily due to the increased competition
near the Santa Fe from a hotel casino that opened in July 1995. Additionally,
management believes that Santa Fe's EBITDA in future periods may be adversely
impacted as a result of expansions at its two closest competitors which
expansions opened in April and May 1996. Furthermore, management believes that
Santa Fe's results will be adversely impacted by restricted access to the
property, during construction of an interchange (at US 95 and Rancho) next to
the property. North bound access from US 95 was opened at the end of July 1996
and, the Company was advised by the Nevada Department of Transportation that
south bound access is anticipated to reopen in the early part of 1997. Also, the
Company was advised that construction work is planned during 1996 and 1997 at
the intersection of Lone Mountain Road and US 95. The Company believes that when
completed the construction work will ultimately improve traffic flow to the
property.

EBITDA is presented to enhance the understanding of the financial performance of
the Company and its ability to service its indebtedness, but should not be
construed as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure
of liquidity.

Indenture restrictions on SFHI and PHI restrict the distribution of cash to the
Company by these subsidiaries, and cash flow of these subsidiaries is not
currently, and is not expected in the foreseeable future to be, available for
distribution to the Company. Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries other
than PHI and SFHI (collectively "Corporate") must rely on existing cash
resources to provide liquidity to fund cash requirements of the parent company.

Liquidity - Corporate - Approximately $10.0 million of the Company's current
- ---------------------                                                        
assets at June 30, 1996, including approximately $7.3 million of cash and short-
term investments, was held by  Corporate.  Corporate had working capital of
approximately $2.7 million at June 30, 1996.

Corporate's principal uses of cash are to satisfy the debt service on $9.0
million principal amount outstanding of the 10 1/4% Subordinated Debentures due
1998 (the "10 1/4% Debentures"); on a $5.8 million note payable to Sierra
Construction due 1998 and on $20 million principal amount of 12% Notes due 1999
(the "12% Notes"). In addition, Corporate expects to incur costs in connection
with evaluation and development of proposed projects and for professional
services rendered to the parent company.

The Company has in the past and expects in fiscal 1996 to satisfy the semi-
annual dividend payments on its preferred stock through the issuance of paid-in-
kind dividends. Commencing in fiscal 1997, dividends paid on the preferred
stock, to the extent declared, must be paid in cash. In the event not declared,
dividends would accrue on the preferred stock. The Company and its subsidiaries
are parties to indentures and other financing arrangements that restrict the
Company's ability to declare and pay dividends or make distributions with
respect to the Company's capital stock which would prevent the payment of cash
dividends on the preferred stock.

In October 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to transfer its rights
and

                                      20
<PAGE>
 
obligations under contracts with members of Camperland, a recreational vehicle
park located on approximately 14 acres of Hacienda property that is operated by
the Company under a lease with the new owners of the Hacienda, to an existing
recreational vehicle park. In July 1996, the Company entered into an amended
agreement with the existing recreational vehicle park. Pursuant to the amended
agreement, the Company paid approximately $2.3 million to transfer its rights
and obligations under contracts with members of Camperland. The Company is
obligated to make an additional payment of $750,000 in the event the owners of
the existing park relocate the Camperland membership to a mutually acceptable
new location. The Company received a first deed of trust on 14 acres of vacant
land owned by the existing park to secure performance of the existing park's
operators in connection with the assumption of the Camperland contracts. By July
31, 1996 the Camperland operations were moved to the new park and the lease with
the new owners of Hacienda was terminated. As a result of the termination of the
Hacienda lease prior to February 1997, the Hacienda owners paid the Company
approximately $350,000.

In July 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell for $3.6 million in
cash an undeveloped 40 acre parcel of land located approximately eight miles
south of the Hacienda on Las Vegas Blvd. South. This land was acquired for $2.4
million in September 1995 as a potential location to relocate the Camperland
membership. The sale is subject to certain conditions which must be met by
August 31, 1996 with final closing to occur on or before September 10, 1996.

In November, 1995, the Company filed an amended plan of reorganization and
disclosure statement (the "Plan") for Treasure Bay Gaming and Resorts ("Treasure
Bay") in the United States Bankruptcy Court (the "Court") for the Southern
District of Mississippi. On May 10, 1996, the Court approved the Company's plan
and disclosure statement for submission to a vote of creditors. At the same
time, the Court approved two other competing plans, one by the noteholders of
Treasure Bay Gaming and Resorts and one by Treasure Bay's management (the
debtors). The Company's plan of reorganization for Treasure Bay contemplates
that, subject to various conditions, the various classes of secured and
unsecured creditors of Treasure Bay agree to accept modifications to, and
reductions in outstanding amounts of, Treasure Bay's outstanding obligations and
the Company make a cash equity contribution to acquire 100% of the equity
interests in Treasure Bay. After submission of the three reorganization plans to
creditors for a vote, both the debtor's reorganization plan and the Company's
reorganization plan received sufficient votes in the appropriate classes to be
submitted to the Court for possible confirmation. The noteholder plan was held
in abeyance. The Court scheduled a hearing on August 5, 1996, to consider
confirmation of the debtors' plan. In the event that the debtors' plan is
confirmed, the Court would adjourn the proceeding without considering the
Company's plan. The confirmation hearing began on August 5, 1996 and continued
through August 9, 1996. On August 9, 1996, the Court continued the hearing for
further proceedings scheduled to begin on August 22, 1996. No assurance can be
given that the debtors' plan will not be confirmed or that the Company's plan
will be considered for confirmation by the Court. Additionally, the Company may
elect not to proceed with its plan or the Company may amend its plan resulting
in changes to the amount and terms of debt of the reorganized debtor and equity
ownership acquired. The Company is incurring and expects to continue to incur
professional expenses and other expenses associated with legal proceedings
involving Treasure Bay and the Company's investment in Treasure Bay.

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (the "12% Note Agreement") under which
Sahara Las Vegas Corp. issued $20 million principal amount of 12% notes due
November 15, 1999 (the "12% Notes"), if, as of the end of any quarter commencing
with the quarter ending December 31, 1997, SFHI Cash Flow (as defined in the 12%
Note Agreement) for the preceding four quarter period is less than $13.5
million, the Company will be required to redeem $3.5 million principal amount of
12% Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon. Such obligation, if it arises, will be reduced on
the dollar for dollar basis to the extent that, during the period in which the
Company is so required to repurchase 12% Notes, the Company acquires 11% Notes
and pledges such acquired 11% Notes as additional collateral for the 12% Notes
or contributes the acquired 11% Notes to SFHI and causes the contributed SFHI
Notes to be canceled. The Company may, at its option, exclude a fiscal quarter
from the calculation of SFHI Cash Flow if SFHI undertakes certain capital
expenditures in such quarter and provides notification under the 12% Note
Agreement.

SFHI and SNC have modified the 12 1/8% affiliate note due August 1996 from SFHI
in favor of SNC, pursuant to which the maturity date is extended to December 31,
1997, monthly principal and interest payments are eliminated and partial
prepayments are allowed. The outstanding principal amount of the affiliate note
at June 30, 1996 was $5.0 million.

In the event that cash resources at the Santa Fe or Pioneer are insufficient to
meet operating or debt service requirements, Corporate may elect to make
contributions or loans to either SFHI or PHI to prevent an event of default
under debt instruments to which SFHI or Pioneer Finance Corp. is a party.
Additionally, the Company may purchase 11% Notes, 13 1/2% Notes and 10 1/4%
Debentures from time to time in the market and in privately negotiated
transactions or refinance existing indebtedness in order to reduce outstanding
indebtedness and debt service obligations.

Liquidity - Santa Fe - The indenture under which the 11% Notes were issued
- --------------------                                                      
contains restrictions on payments to and investments in affiliates by SFHI,
including the Company. As a result of these restrictions, all of the cash flow
generated by SFHI is not currently and is not expected during the next twelve
months to be available for distribution to the Company. Approximately $7.8
million of the Company's current assets, including approximately $3.6 million of
cash and short term investments, were held by SFHI at June 30, 1996.

SFHI's principal uses of funds generated from operations are for interest
payments on indebtedness and capital expenditures to maintain and improve the
facility. Interest expense (net of debt discount amortization) for the nine
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $9.2 million and $9.2 million,
respectively. Santa Fe generated EBITDA of $9.8 million, including a $1.2
million intercompany gain on sale of land, for the nine months ended June 30,
1996, approximately 1.04 times interest expense (net of debt discount
amortization), during the same period. (See Results of Operations -Revenues;
Operating Expenses.) Management believes that EBITDA in future periods at the
Santa Fe may be adversely impacted by recent expansions of two competitors which
opened in April and May 1996 and by restricted access to the property beginning
April 1996, during construction of an interchange (at US 95 and Rancho) next to
the property. North bound access from US 95 was opened at the end of July 1996
and, the Company was advised by the Nevada Department of Transportation that
south bound access is anticipated to reopen in the early part of 1997. Also, the
Company was advised that construction work is planned during 1996 and 1997 at
the intersection of Lone Mountain Road and US95. The Company believes that when
completed the construction work will ultimately improve traffic flow to the
property. In addition, EBITDA in future periods will be impacted by increased
rental expense attributable to the leasing transactions (See Results of
Operations).

Interest expense attributable to the 11% Notes is expected to increase in fiscal
1996 compared to fiscal 1995 as a result of the expensing of interest costs on
approximately $32 million of debt commencing in July 1995, which were previously
capitalized in connection with the development of the Company's proposed
Parkville project. This increase was partially offset by the retirement of $21
million principal amount of 11% Notes in July 1995 pursuant to the terms of a
repurchase offer and by the retirement of an additional $5.6 million principal
amount of 11% Notes acquired in January 1996. (See Liquidity-Corporate, above).
Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were
$3.1 million and $14.4 million, respectively. The decrease is due to the
expansion project completed in December 1994. (See Capital Expenditures below).

SFHI and SNC have modified the 12 1/8% affiliate note due August 1996 by SFHI in
favor of SNC, pursuant to which the maturity date is extended to December 31,
1997, monthly principal and interest payments are eliminated and partial
prepayments are allowed. The outstanding principal amount of the affiliate note
at June 30, 1996 was $5.0 million.

Management believes that, based on operations for the nine months ended June 30,
1996 and available resources, barring unforeseen circumstances, SFHI will have
sufficient cash resources to meet its operating requirements and debt service
requirements through the twelve month period ending June 30, 1997. However,
results for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were not as favorable as those
for the nine month period. If operating results do not improve in the future
compared to the third quarter ended June 30, 1996, management believes that SFHI
may not have sufficient resources to meet its operating requirements and debt
service requirements. In the event SFHI is unable to meet debt service payments
through current operations and available resources, SFHI will explore financing
alternatives, including but not limited to refinancing or modification of
existing indebtedness, and the incurrence of additional permitted indebtedness.

amount of First Mortgage Notes due 1998 ("13-1/2% Notes") were issued contains
restrictions on payments to and investments in affiliates by Pioneer Hotel Inc.,
including to the Company. As a result of these restrictions, all of the cash
flow generated by PHI is not currently, and is not expected during the next
twelve months to be, available for distribution to the Company. Approximately
$8.0 million of the Company's current assets, including approximately $5.7
million of cash and short term investments, were held by PHI at June 30, 1996.

PHI's principal uses of funds are for interest payments on indebtedness and
capital expenditures to maintain the facility. Interest expense for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $7.3 million and $10.4 million,
respectively. The Pioneer generated EBITDA of $7.0 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996, approximately .96 times interest expense during the same
period. (See Results of Operations -Revenues and Operating Expenses.) Interest
expense attributable to the 13 1/2% Notes has decreased in 1996 compared to 1995
as a result of the retirement of an aggregate $42.8 million principal amount of
13 1/2% Notes. (See Liquidity - Corporate, above). Capital expenditures for the
nine month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $1.0 million and $3.6
million, respectively. The decrease is due to the expansion project completed in
December 1994. (See Capital Expenditures below).

Management believes that, based on current operations, and available resources,
primarily equipment financing permitted under the 13-1/2% Note indenture,
barring unforeseen circumstances, the Pioneer will have sufficient cash
resources to meet its operating requirements and debt service requirements
through the twelve month period ending June 30, 1997, although no assurance can
be given to that effect. In the event PHI is unable to meet debt service
payments through current operations and available resources, PHI will explore
financing alternatives, including but not limited to refinancing or modification
of existing indebtedness, and the incurrence of additional permitted
indebtedness.

- --------------------                                                     
Company incurred approximately $4.4 million of capital expenditures, of which
approximately $1.2 million is attributable primarily to corporate administrative
office improvements at the Santa Fe and $175,000 is attributable to improvements
to the river side walk at the Pioneer.

Debt Obligations  - For the remaining three months of fiscal 1996 and for fiscal
- -----------------                                                               
year 1997, scheduled maturities of long-term debt due to third parties are
$300,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, representing primarily principal
amortization payments under notes payable and capital leases. The scheduled
maturities applicable in fiscal 1996 and 1997 are $100,000 and $400,000 at the
Santa Fe and $100,000 and $300,000 at the Pioneer respectively.

Additionally, approximately $8.3 million of long-term debt due to third parties
is scheduled to mature during fiscal 1998 consisting primarily of $6.9 million
due in June 1998 at maturity of the 10 1/4% Debentures. Although management has
in the past and is currently exploring refinancing alternatives, as well as
possible dispositions of certain assets, in order to satisfy long-term debt
obligations as they become due, no assurance can be given that the Company will
be able to refinance some or all of its indebtedness or dispose of any assets.
Any such refinancing would be subject to the Company's future operations and the
prevailing market conditions at the time of such proposed refinancing and would
require the approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities and potentially other
state gaming authorities. If the Company is ultimately unable to refinance such
debt prior to maturity, and/or obtain sufficient proceeds from asset
dispositions to repay the debt, and if the holders of the various debt
instruments were to demand payment upon the maturity dates, events of default
would occur which would lead to cross-defaults in other material agreements of
the Company including, without limitations, agreements relating to substantially
all of the outstanding long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Board, Chief Executive Officer and 51% stockholder of the Company, borrowed
$476,000  from

                                      25
<PAGE>
 
Hacienda Hotel Inc., pursuant to an unsecured demand loan. The outstanding
balance of the loan including accrued interest was $623,000 as of June 30, 1996.
The demand loan to LICO bears interest at 2% over the prime rate.

In November 1993, Mr. Lowden and Bank of America entered into a personal loan
agreement under which the principal balance of the loan is amortized through
quarterly principal payments through April 1998, with any remaining principal
balance due July 31, 1998. In July 1996, Mr. Lowden prepaid $1.9 million
principal amount of the loan balance. At July 31, 1996, the principal balance of
the loan was approximately $927,000. The loan is secured by substantially all of
the common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Lowden (the "Pledged Shares"). Mr.
Lowden's loan agreement provides that in the event the market value of the
Pledged Shares is less than three times the outstanding loan balance, the bank,
at its sole option, may require either an immediate reduction in the outstanding
balance or the pledging of additional collateral acceptable to the bank such
that the value of the pledged collateral is at least three times the outstanding
loan balance. If an event of default were to occur under Mr. Lowden's personal
loan with the bank, and if the bank acquired the Pledged Shares upon
foreclosure, Mr. Lowden's ownership of the Company's outstanding common stock
would be reduced to below 50%. If Mr. Lowden ceases to own more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, an event of default would
result under certain of the Company's long-term indebtedness, which could result
in cross-defaults under substantially all of the Company's other long-term
indebtedness.

                          SANTA FE GAMING CORPORATION

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

The Company has previously reported that from August 1994 to October 1995,
complaints alleging unlawful interference by the Company with employee and union
rights under the National Labor Relations Act were filed with the National Labor
Relations Board (the "NLRB") by several unions relating to the Sahara, Hacienda,
Santa Fe and Pioneer, including allegations of unilateral changes in terms and
conditions of employment at Santa Fe. Hearings before administrative law judges
of the NLRB involving the Santa Fe commenced January 29, 1996. In order to avoid
the substantial cost of continuing the hearings, the Company, the NLRB and the
unions at the Santa Fe reached the following settlement with respect to the
various complaints. Complaints that the Santa Fe interfered with protected union
activity have been informally settled. The settlement agreement states the Santa
Fe does not admit it has violated the law, but provides for the posting of a
Notice to Employees for 60 days at the Santa Fe, stating in substance that the
employer will not interfere with the employees rights to engage in concerted or
union activities and does not require payment by the Santa Fe of any monies.
Another complaint based upon the unions' disputed claim to be the bargaining
representative of certain Santa Fe employees has by agreement with the NLRB and
the unions been put on hold pending the resolution of SFHI's appeal to the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.).
If that appeal is decided in SFHI's favor, the complaint will be dismissed with
respect to that matter, the results of the election will be voided and SFHI will
not be required to bargain with the unions. If the appeal is decided in the
unions' favor, their right to bargain will be acknowledged by SFHI. In that
event, SFHI will restore wages or benefits employees may have lost, if any, in
connection with events referred to in that complaint.

It is possible that after reviewing the record and hearing oral arguments which 
are scheduled for October 7, 1996, the Court of Appeals may remand the case to
the NLRB with directions that the NLRB decide whether the unions' use of a voter
eligibility list during the election was lawful or unlawful. That conduct by the
unions and the NLRB's failure to review it are the bases for the Santa Fe's
appeal.

The only Complaints that continue to be litigated deal with the Santa Fe's
contention that the solicitation, including handbilling by off-duty employees at
certain entrance to the Santa Fe, is prohibited by Santa Fe's no solicitation
policies; and the unions' claim that their handbills can be distributed by off-
duty employees anywhere on the Santa Fe property.

On February 13, 14, 15 and May 28, 1996, a hearing was conducted by a NLRB
Administrative Law Judge in respect to complaints alleging interference by the
Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall with employee rights protected by federal law
which are in substance that the employer will not interfere with the employees
federal protected rights to engage in concerted or union activities. Management
believes the complaints are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend
against the allegations. During the course of the hearing, one complaint was
amended to include the

                                      27
<PAGE>
 
discharge of a manager. Should the complaints ultimately be decided adversely to
the Pioneer, the Pioneer would be required to make certain employees whole for
wages and benefits they may have lost related to the allegations of the
complaints and the manager would be entitled to reinstatement, backpay and
benefits, less monies he earned from the date of discharge to reinstatement or
rejection of an unconditional offer thereof. Post hearing briefs were filed and
the case has been submitted for decision and recommended order which has not as
yet been issued.

NLRB complaints involving the Sahara and Hacienda alleging interference with
employees' protected rights were withdrawn shortly after the sale by the Company
of those properties. However, pursuant to agreements with the purchasers, the
Company is responsible for NLRB complaints issued against the Sahara and
Hacienda alleging the decision by those properties several months prior to the
sales to discontinue wage deductions for dues payable by employees to Culinary
Workers Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165, was unlawful. Management believes
those Complaints are without merit and is vigorously defending against the
allegations. On May 13, and 14, 1996, a hearing on the Complaint was conducted
by a NLRB Administrative Law Judge. Post hearing briefs were filed and the case
has been submitted for decision and recommended order which has not as yet been
issued. If it is ultimately determined the Company improperly ceased such
deductions, the Company would be required to pay the difference between dues
owed by employees and dues voluntarily paid during the periods in question.

In the previously disclosed consolidated legal proceedings of Poulos v. Caesar's
World, Inc., et al. and Ahern v. Caesar's World, Inc., et al. and the separate
legal proceeding of Schrier v. Caesar's World, Inc., et al., the plaintiffs'
class certification motion has been denied, with no leave to amend, and the
complaints in the consolidated Poulos and Ahern cases were dismissed without
prejudice. The plaintiffs have filed amended complaints in the consolidated
cases.

                            MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
                            ----------------------

     THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT ("Lease") is made and entered into this 30th
day of May, 1996, by and between PDS Financial Corporation, a Minnesota

Lessor desires to lease to Lessee, and Lessee desires to lease from Lessor in
accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein, certain equipment
more fully described in the Lease Schedule or Schedules, referred to herein as a
"Lease Schedule," as may from time to time be executed by Lessee.  All equipment
described in such Lease Schedules shall be collectively referred to as the

and to be used in connection with the business location described in a
particular Lease Schedule ("Premises").

     NOW THEREFORE, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

as a penalty.

<PAGE>
 
     2.4 LESSOR'S PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.  If Lessee fails to
comply with any of its covenants or obligations herein, Lessor may, at its
option, perform such covenants or obligations on Lessee's behalf without thereby
waiving such conditions or obligations or the failure to comply therewith and
all sums advanced by Lessor in connection therewith shall be repayable by Lessee
as Additional Charges.  No such performance shall be deemed to relieve Lessee of
its obligations herein.

3.   CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE.  Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a certificate of
     -------------------------

     ---------                                                              
Lessee's obligation to pay all Rent due and the rights of Lessor or its
assignees in, and to, such Rent shall be absolute and unconditional under all
circumstances, notwithstanding: (i) any setoff, abatement, reduction,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Lessee may have against
Lessor, its assignees, the manufacturer or seller of any Unit, or any other
person for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any breach by
Lessor of this Lease; (ii) any defect in title, condition, operation, fitness
for use, or any damage to or destruction of, the Equipment; (iii) any

whatsoever; or (iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceedings instituted by or against Lessee.

5.   LOCATION: USE: MAINTENANCE; IDENTIFICATION AND INSPECTION.
     --------------------------------------------------------- 

     5.1 LOCATION, USE, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.  (a) Lessee shall keep and use

Lessor consents, in writing, prior to its relocation or removal. (b) Lessee
shall at all times and, at its sole cost and expense, properly use and maintain
the Equipment in good operating condition, other than the normal wear and tear,
and make all necessary repairs, alterations and replacements thereto
(collectively, "Repairs"), all of which shall immediately become the property of
Lessor and subject to this Lease.  Lessee shall comply with manufacturer
instructions relating to the Equipment, and any applicable laws and governmental
regulations. (c) Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses associated with removal
and return of the Equipment.

     5.2 IDENTIFICATION AND INSPECTION.  Upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall

Term.  LESSOR

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
EXPRESSLY RETAINS OWNERSHIP AND TITLE TO THE EQUIPMENT. LESSEE HEREBY AGREES
THAT IT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL  OF  LESSORS OBLIGATIONS AS REQUIRED BY THE
STATE GAMING LAWS AND REGULATIONS REGARDING MAINTENANCE, USE, POSSESSION AND
OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT.  Lessee hereby authorizes, empowers, and grants a
limited power of attorney to Lessor to record and/or execute and file, on
Lessee's behalf, any certificates, memorandums, statements, refiling, and
continuations thereof as Lessor deems reasonably necessary or advisable to
preserve and protect its interest hereunder.  The parties intend to create a
lease agreement and the relationship of lessor and lessee between themselves.
Nothing in this Lease shall be construed or interpreted to create or imply the
existence of a finance lease or installment lease contract. Lessor makes no
representation regarding the treatment of this Lease, the Equipment or the

defend, at its own cost and expense, the title of Lessor from and against such
mortgages, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and legal processes of creditors
of Lessee and shall keep all the Equipment free and clear from all such claims,
liens and legal processes.  If any such lien or encumbrance is incurred, Lessee

designee at the destination specified by Lessor, in accordance with appropriate
gaming laws and regulations.  Each Unit shall conform to all of the
manufacturer's specifications and gaming laws and regulations with respect to
normal function, capability, design and condition (less normal wear and tear).

     7.2 FAILURE TO RETURN.  If Lessee fails to return the Equipment or any
portion thereof, as provided above, within fourteen (14) days following
expiration of the term or termination of the Lease, then Lessee shall pay to

Lessee fails to comply with the terms of this return provision, until all of the
Equipment is returned, as provided herein.

8.   RISK OF LOSS: INSURANCE.
     ----------------------- 

     8.1 RISK OF LOSS.  Lessee shall bear the risk  of all loss or damage to any
Unit or caused by any Unit during the period from the time the Unit is shipped
by its vendor until the time it is returned as provided herein.

     8.2 UNIT REPLACEMENT.  If any Unit is lost, stolen, destroyed, seized by

Rent and Lessee shall promptly replace such Unit at its sole expense with a Unit

of equivalent value and utility, and similar kind and in substantially the same
condition as the replaced Unit immediately prior to the Event of Loss.  Title to
such replacement unit immediately shall vest and remain in Lessor, and such unit
shall be deemed a Unit under this Lease.  Upon such vesting of title  and
provided Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessor shall cause to be
paid to Lessee or the vendor of the replacement unit any insurance proceeds
actually received by Lessor for the replacement Unit.  Lessee shall promptly
notify Lessor of any Event of Loss and shall provide Lessor with and shall enter
into, execute and deliver such documentation as Lessor shall request with
respect to the replacement of any such Unit.

     8.3 INSURANCE.  Lessee shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect
all risk, full replacement cost property damage insurance on the Premises: (i)
comprehensive personal liability, (ii) all risk property damage on the Equipment
in amounts reasonably acceptable to Lessor, and (iii) workers compensation
insurance. Such insurance shall: (i) name Lessor and its Assignees, if any, as
additional insureds and first loss payees as their interests may appear; and
(ii) provide that the policy may not be canceled or materially altered without
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor and its Assignees. All such
insurance shall be placed with companies having a rating of at least A, Class
XII or better by Best's rating service.  Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, upon
request and throughout the Term, insurance certificates of a kind satisfactory
to Lessor and its Assignees showing the existence of the insurance required
hereunder and premium paid.

executed and delivered by Lessee, Lessee shall bear all responsibilities and
perform all obligations of Lessor thereunder other than payment of the purchase

Lessee is bound; iii) no approval or consent not already obtained or withholding
of objection is required from any governmental authority with respect to the

assign, mortgage, or otherwise transfer its interest thereunder and/or in the
Equipment to others ("Assignees") without consent of Lessee, provided however
that Lessee and the Nevada Gaming Control Board ("Control Board") shall be
notified of any assignment.  Accordingly, Lessee and Lessor agree that upon such
assignment, Lessee (i) shall acknowledge such assignment in writing by executing
a Notice, Consent and Acknowledgment of Assignment furnished by Lessor; (ii)

entitled to all the rights and remedies of a secured party and Lessee, as

     16.2 LESSOR REMEDIES.  LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS
LEASE REQUIRES APPROVAL OF THE CONTROL BOARD AND/OR NEVADA GAMING COMMISSION
("COMMISSION") AND THAT COPIES OF ALL DEFAULT NOTICES, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, ETC.
WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE APPROPRIATE AGENCY AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW, REGULATION
OR UPON REQUEST OF THE CONTROL BOARD OR COMMISSION. Lessee further acknowledges

damages and legal costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by
Lessor and its Assignees as a result of enforcing any terms or conditions of the
Lease or any Schedules. A termination hereunder shall occur only upon written
notice by Lessor to Lessee and no repossession or other act by Lessor after
default shall relieve Lessee from any of its obligations to Lessor hereunder
unless Lessor so notifies Lessee in writing.

17.  MISCELLANEOUS.
     ------------- 

     17.1 NOTICES.  Except as otherwise required by law, all notices required

shall impair or diminish Lessor's rights to exercise the same or any other right

of any breach by Lessee of its obligations under this Lease or any Lease
Schedule.

     17.7 SUCCESSORS.  This Lease and each Lease Schedule shall inure to the

                                       8

                            TO LEASE SCHEDULE NO. 1


THIS PURCHASE/RENEWAL OPTION IS ATTACHED TO AND MADE A PART OF LEASE SCHEDULE
NO. 1 AND THE MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT ("LEASE") BETWEEN PDS FINANCIAL
CORPORATION, A MINNESOTA ("LESSOR"), AND SANTA FE HOTEL, INC., A NEVADA
CORPORATION ("LESSEE") EACH DATED MAY 30, 1996.


If Lessee has not been in default under the terms of the Lease, at the
expiration of the Term, Lessor grants Lessee an option to (a) purchase (the
"Purchase Option") all but not less than all of the Equipment described on the
above Lease Schedule for the sum equal to the fair market value of the Equipment
as of the date of expiration of the Term as determined by an independent
appraiser mutually selected by Lessor and Lessee (the "Exercise Price") or (b)
renew the Lease Term for a period of one year (the "Renewal Option").  A written
notice of exercise of the Purchase Option or the Renewal Option must be given by
Lessee 120 days prior to the expiration of the Term or any renewal term.  Upon
timely receipt of such notice of exercise, receipt of the payment of all Rent
due under the Lease and/or payment of the Exercise Price, Lessor will, with
exercise of the purchase option, execute and deliver to Lessee a Bill of Sale
for the Equipment described in the Lease Schedule. Upon failure of the Lessor to
so deliver a Bill of Sale, this Purchase/Renewal Option to Lease Schedule No. 1
shall then constitute a conveyance of the Equipment in accordance herewith.
Payment in full of the Exercise Price shall be due and payable on or before the
expiration of the Term.  If Lessee fails to exercise the Purchase Option or the
Renewal Option, Lessee shall, at Lessor's expense, return the Equipment to
Lessor at a facility designated by Lessor, according to the terms of the Lease.
Lessee shall in all respects remain obligated under the Lease for payment of
Rent, care, maintenance, delivery, use and insurance of the Equipment until
Lessor inspects and accepts the Equipment.  In the event it shall at any time be
determined that by reason of the options hereby given or otherwise that the
lease of the Equipment to which the Purchase Option or the Renewal Option
applies was in fact a sale to the Lessee of the Equipment, the Lessee agrees
that neither it nor its successors or assigns has or will have any claim or
cause of action against Lessor, its successors or assigns, for any reason for
loss sustained by virtue of such determination.


[REMAINDER OF PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY]

Lessee acknowledges that the Equipment sold by Lessor under the Purchase Option
is being sold in an "as is, where is" condition. Lessor makes, and will make, no
representations or warranties regarding the Equipment, its suitability for
Lessee's purpose, or its compliance with any laws. Lessee hereby assumes all
liability for the Equipment and agrees to indemnify Lessor per the terms of the
Lease for any claims arising out of the purchase of the Equipment.

     ---------------------------------------

2.   KEY AMENDED AND RESTATED TERMS.  The Hacienda Agreement is hereby amended
     ------------------------------                                           
to reflect the following terms:

     A.   ASSIGNMENT PRICE.  Hacienda will pay Alpine-Oasis $3,040,000 as 
          ----------------                                               
follows:

          (i)       $2,250,000 at Closing.

          (ii)      $40,000 payable at Closing for outside planning and
                    engineering costs.

          (iii)     $750,000 payable into a construction escrow account upon
                    commencement of construction of an RV park on the Torino

          (iv)      Alpine-Oasis will secure performance and repayment of the
                    $2.29 million (or $3.04 million,/1/ whichever applies) by
                    means of a deed of trust on the 13.8 acre Torino Parcel.
                    Should Alpine-Oasis elect to proceed with construction of a
                    New RV Park, the deed of trust will be subordinated to any
                    financing Alpine-Oasis may use to fund land acquisition and
                    project costs (which include all hard and soft costs,
                    general, administrative and start-up costs) for the New RV
                    Park in excess of $3.04 million.

          (v)       At the election of Alpine-Oasis, the deed of trust can be
                    relocated to (i) any other property in Clark County, Nevada,
                    capable of equally accommodating the provision of facilities
                    as equal or similar to the facilities provided at the
                    present Hacienda Adventure Club location if the New RV Park
                    is to be constructed thereon; or (ii) to an existing
                    recreational vehicle park in Clark County, Nevada capable of
                    equally accommodating the provision of facilities as equal
                    or similar to the facilities provided at the present
                    Hacienda Adventure Club location. In either case the
                    relocated deed of trust will be subordinated to any
                    financing Alpine-Oasis may use to fund land acquisition and
                    development costs for the New RV Park (or acquisition costs,
                    in the case of an existing park) in excess of the amount of
                    the deed of trust.

- ----------------------
     /1/  The $3.04 million is to be applied if the New RV Park is to be
constructed with the additional $750,000 per paragraph 2.A.(iii) of the
agreement on the Torino parcel.

          (vi)      Upon the Adventure Club membership being reduced to 500 or
                    fewer, the deed of trust shall be reconveyed and/or the
                    Oasis, L.P. guaranty will be terminated and the deposit will
                    be earned by Alpine-Oasis, which will remain obligated under
                    the contract to continue to serve such lesser number of
                    members. For purposes of calculating memberships, a
                    membership shall be deemed terminated when either (i) the
                    member agrees to the termination; or (ii) when Alpine-Oasis
                    or Hacienda give the member a notice of termination pursuant
                    to paragraph 10 of the Hacienda Adventure Club membership
                    agreement; the termination shall be effective upon the
                    giving of the notice of termination without need for any
                    further action by the noticing entity.

          (vii)a.   Subject to reinstatement as set forth in (vii).b. below,
                    Hacienda shall cancel Club memberships for: (1) Membership
                    Notes which are delinquent for more than 180 days in payment
                    of principal and interest ("Delinquent Notes"), or (2) dues
                    which are delinquent for more than one year ("Delinquent
                    Dues"). Hacienda shall not send any notice of termination or
                    otherwise communicate with a member without prior written
                    approval by Alpine-Oasis of the specific form and content of
                    the notice or communication.

          (vii)b.   Club members who are canceled by Hacienda pursuant to the
                    foregoing, but who subsequently bring their memberships
                    current (i.e., who remove all delinquencies in their
                    Delinquent Notes and Delinquent Dues within 120 days after
                    cancellation or such longer reinstatement period, if any, as
                    is required by applicable law) shall be reinstated as Club
                    members.

          (viii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that Alpine-
                    Oasis, L.L.C., can provide equal and substitute collateral
                    for the deed of trust and/or the Oasis guaranty upon the
                    approval of Hacienda, which approval will not be
                    unreasonably withheld.


     B.   ALPINE-OASIS ELECTION RE DEVELOPMENT OF TORINO PARCEL.
          ----------------------------------------------------- 

          (i)       Feasibility period -- None.

          (ii)      Commencing upon the Closing, Alpine-Oasis will cause Oasis
                    L.P. to make available up to 287 spaces in the Existing

                    sole expense and liability cause the Hacienda Adventure Club
                    membership to be permanently reduced to 3375 or less,
                    requiring no more than 225 spaces. Hacienda will use its
                    best efforts to accomplish the reduction as soon as possible
                    in advance of the 24-month deadline.

          (iv)      Alpine-Oasis will in its sole discretion elect whether or
                    not and when to develop the Torino Parcel with an RV park,
                    and whether or not or when to transfer Hacienda Adventure
                    Club members to such a park.

          (v)       If Alpine-Oasis elects to develop an RV park for Hacienda
                    Adventure Club members on the Torino Parcel, the park will
                    conform generally to the plans previously submitted to Clark
                    County, except that the number of spaces will be reduced to
                    225.

     C.   HACIENDA INDEMNIFICATION.  Hacienda will indemnify and hold harmless
          ------------------------

                    as equal or similar to the facilities provided at the
                    present Hacienda Adventure Club location.

          (iv)      Any and all claims arising out of Hacienda's efforts to
