~~COVID-19 Pandemic Update.~~ In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (“COVID-19”). Although COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world, vaccines designed to inhibit the severity and the spread of COVID-19 are now being distributed. As a result, the number of newly reported cases has declined in the U.S. from levels seen in late 2020 and early 2021, though new variants have resulted in a reversal of these trends in recent weeks. The new Delta variant of COVID-19, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to date, has begun to spread globally. COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of significant, government-imposed measures to prevent or reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, business restrictions, closing of borders, “shelter-in-place” orders and business closures. In March 2020, pursuant to state government orders, the Company temporarily closed all of its casino properties.further information.

~~As a result,~~COVID-19 Pandemic Update. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Governmental authorities continue to update their precautionary measures and promote vaccination programs to manage the spread of the virus as different variants of the virus surface and subside. The Company ~~experienced a material decline in its revenues until its properties began reopening when permitted by local authorities. The reopening dates were:~~

●

~~Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel ― May 21, 2020~~

~~Grand Lodge Casino and Stockman’s Casino ― June 4, 2020~~

●

~~Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel ― June 15, 2020~~

●

~~Rising Star Casino Resort ― June 15, 2020.~~

~~During~~has generally benefited from the shutdown period, the Company evaluated labor, marketing and other costs at its businesses so that, upon reopening, its properties could reopen with significantly lower operating costs. As a result, the Company’s operating performance since reopening in mid-2020 has been stronger than pre-pandemic levels, despitegradual relaxation of pandemic-related business restrictions throughout its properties and certain pandemic-related additional costs. The extent to which the Company’s financial and operating results in future periods may be affected by COVID-19, including the new Delta variant, will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time. Significant uncertainties include the ability to operate; new information which may emerge concerning new strains of COVID-19 and their severity; vaccination rates among the population; the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta variant; any additional actions imposed by governmental authorities to contain COVID-19 and the Delta variant or minimize its impact; increased operating costs and constraints to implement sanitation and social distancing requirements; increased costs for materials due to supply chain constraints; and general economic conditions, among others.since 2021.

~~The~~However, the COVID-19 pandemic, and certain precautionary measures, have created economic uncertainty both in the United States and globally, as well as significant volatility in, and disruption to, financial markets, labor markets and supply chains. Global supply chain disruptions ~~arising from COVID-19~~have resulted in shipping delays, increased shipping costs, supply shortages, and inflationary pressures, including increases in prices for fuel, food, building materials, and other items. These increased costs, labor shortages, and supply shortages continued to ~~impact~~put additional constraints on our operating business and our construction projects for the ~~Company during the three- and~~ six-months ended June 30, ~~2021.

We believe that as ~~the global and regional impact of~~ the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, the direct and indirect impacts on global macro-economic conditions, as well as conditions specific to us, are becoming more difficult to isolate or quantify. In addition, these direct and indirect factors can make it difficult to isolate and quantify the portion of our costs that are a direct result of the pandemic versus costs arising from factors that may have been influenced by the pandemic, including supply chain constraints, increased prices and inflationary pressures, labor shortages, and changes ~~over time is uncertain,~~in the spending patterns of customers.

~~During the first half of 2021, the Company completed several transactions, which include:~~

●

~~The February 2021 refinancing of its Senior Secured Notes due 2024 with $310 million of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), as further described in Note 5 below;~~

●

~~The creation of a restricted cash account, initially funded with $180 million dedicated to the construction of Chamonix, as further described in Note 2 below;~~

●

The March 2021 completion of an underwritten public offering of 6,917,250 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $46.0 million, as further described in Note 9 below; and

●

An agreement entered into in March 2021 providing for a $15.0 million, five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility to provide additional liquidity, if needed, as further described in Note 5 below.

~~As of June 30, 2021, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $281.5 million, including $176.6 million in restricted cash for the construction of Chamonix.~~

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

~~Table of Contents~~

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annualized results for an entire year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Full House and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value and the Fair Value Input Hierarchy. Fair value measurements affect the Company’s accounting for net assets acquired in acquisition transactions and certain financial assets and liabilities. Fair value measurements are also used in the Company’s periodic assessments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets for possible impairment, including for property and equipment, goodwill, and other intangible assets. Fair value is defined as the expected price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

GAAP categorizes the inputs used for fair value into a three-level hierarchy:

●

Level 1: Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

●

Level 2: Comparable inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for similar assets or liabilities in less active markets; and

●

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which may include metrics that market participants would use to estimate values, such as revenue and earnings multiples and relative rates of return.

Table of Contents

The Company utilizes Level 1 inputs when measuring the fair value of its 2028 Notes (see Note 5)6).

The Company utilizes Level 2 inputs when measuring the fair value of its asset purchases and acquisitions (see Note 4)5).

The Company utilizes Level 3 inputs when measuring the fair value of net assets acquired in business combination transactions, subsequent assessments for impairment, and most financial instruments, including but not limited to the estimated fair value of common stock warrants at issuance and for recurring changes in the related warrant ~~liability (see Note 6).~~liability.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. Cash equivalents include cash involved in operations and cash in excess of daily requirements that is invested in highly liquid, short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Restricted cash balances consist of funds ~~initially totaling $180 million, which were~~ placed into a construction reserve account ~~to fund~~for the completion of the Chamonix construction project.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable consist primarily of casino, hotel and other receivables, are typically non-interest bearing, and are carried net of an appropriate reserve to approximate fair value. Reserves are estimated based on specific review of customer accounts including the customers’ willingness and ability to pay and nature of collateral, if any, as well as historical collection experience and current economic and business conditions. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to be uncollectible and recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received.

Revenue ~~Recognition of~~ Recognition:

Accrued Club Points and ~~Deferred Revenues~~

~~Accrued Club Points:~~Customer Loyalty Programs: Operating Revenues and Related Costs and Expenses. The Company’s revenues consist primarily of casino gaming, food and beverage, hotel, and other revenues (such as sports wagering, golf, RV park operations, and entertainment). The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from casino gaming, principally slot machines.

Gaming revenue is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. The Company accounts for its gaming transactions on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and it would not be practical to view each wager on an individual basis.

The Company sometimes provides discretionary complimentary goods and services (“discretionary comps”)~~, primarily to casino customers.~~. For these types of transactions, the Company allocates revenue to the department providing the complimentary goods or services based upon its estimated standalone selling price, offset by a reduction in casino revenues.

~~Table of Contents~~

Many of the Company’s casino customers choose to earn points under its customer loyalty programs. As points are accrued, the Company defers a portion of its gaming revenue based on the estimated standalone value of loyalty points being earned by the customer. The standalone value of loyalty points is derived from the retail value of food, beverages, hotel rooms, and other goods or services for which such points may be redeemed. A liability related to these customer loyalty points is recorded, net of estimated breakage and other factors, until the customer redeems these points under loyalty programs by property for various benefits, primarily for “free casino play,” complimentary dining, or hotel ~~stays. Such liabilities were approximately $0.7 million for June 30, 2021 and $0.8 million for December 31, 2020, and these amounts are included in “other accrued liabilities”~~stays, among others, depending on ~~the consolidated balance sheets.~~each property’s specific offers. Upon redemption, the related revenue is recognized at retail value within the department providing the goods or ~~services, offset by~~services. Unredeemed points are forfeited if the customer becomes and remains inactive for a ~~reduction~~specified period of time. Such liabilities were approximately $0.8 million for each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and these amounts are included in “other accrued liabilities” on the ~~liability.~~consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue for food and beverage, hotel, and other revenue transactions is typically the net amount collected from customers for such goods and services, plus the retail value of (i) discretionary comps and (ii) comps provided in return for redemption of loyalty points. The Company records such revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer. Additionally, the Company may collect deposits in advance for future hotel reservations or entertainment, among other services, which represent obligations toof the Company until the service is provided to the customer.

Deferred Revenues: Market Access Fees from Sports Wagering Agreements. ~~In 2019, the~~The Company entered into several ~~ten-year~~ agreements with various unaffiliated companies allowing for ~~online/mobile~~online sports wagering within Indiana, Colorado and ~~Colorado,~~Illinois, as well as on-site sports wagering at Rising Star ~~and~~Casino Resort, Bronco Billy’s ~~casinos~~Casino and Hotel, and The Temporary/American Place (the “Sports Agreements”). ~~The contracts differ as to the percentages of revenues that we receive. Also, some contracts require payments in advance of the contract year, while others call for settlement in arrears.~~ As part of these long-term Sports Agreements, the Company received ~~$6 million in~~ one-time market access fees totaling $6 million in prior years, which were recorded as a long-term ~~liability in the same amount~~liabilities and are being recognized as revenue ratably over the initial contract terms (or as accelerated due to termination), beginning with the commencement of operations. The market access fees are not refundable under ordinary circumstances. In May 2022, the Company received an additional $5 million of non-refundable, one-time market access fees for its executed Illinois Sports Agreement. As with the prior Sports Agreements, such market access fee was capitalized and will be amortized over the initial term of ~~each~~the agreement, beginning with the commencement of operations.

Indiana. ~~Two of the~~The Company’s 3 Sports Agreements commenced operations in December 2019, ~~and~~ April 2021 ~~respectively. The remaining~~and December 2021. As noted below, one of such Sports ~~Agreement is expected to go live~~Agreements ceased operations in ~~the coming months.~~May 2022.

Colorado. The Company’s ~~three contracted mobile sports wagering websites~~3 Sports Agreements commenced ~~online~~ operations in June 2020, December 2020 and April 2021. As noted below, one of such Sports Agreements ceased operations in May 2022.

~~Deferred revenues also include~~Illinois. The Company signed a ~~total~~Sports Agreement in May 2022 for Illinois. Such operations are expected to commence upon the opening of ~~$2.0 million related~~The Temporary, pending the receipt of customary gaming approvals.

In addition to the market access fees, deferred revenue includes the annual prepayment of contracted revenue, as required in ~~two~~2 of the Sports Agreements. ~~Bronco Billy’s received~~As of June 30, 2022, $1.0 million of ~~prepaid~~such deferred revenue ~~for contracted sports operations that commenced in December 2020, and Rising Star received $1.0 million of prepaid revenue for contracted sports operations that commenced in April 2021.~~has been recognized during the year.

~~Such~~Deferred revenues consisted of the following, as discussed above:


(In thousands)		June 30,		December 31,			June 30,		December 31,
	Balance Sheet Location	2021		2020		Balance Sheet Location	2022		2021

		$	6,795	$	6,770		$	9,774	$	6,536

In February 2022, 1 of the Company’s contracted parties for sports wagering gave notice of its intent to cease operations on May 15, 2022, which created 1 available skin in each of Colorado and Indiana. Accordingly, this accelerated the recognition of $1.6 million of deferred revenue, which was recognized through the May 2022 termination date, as opposed to the remaining eight years of the original 10-year term. The Company is currently negotiating with other companies to be the replacement operator for such skins, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to find replacement operators on similar terms or at all.

Other Revenues. The transaction price of rooms, food and beverage, and retail contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. The transaction price for such contracts is recorded as revenue when the good or service is transferred to the customer over their stay at the hotel or when the delivery is made for the food, beverage, retail and other contracts. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

Revenue by Source. The Company presents earned revenue as disaggregated by the type or nature of the good or service (casino, food and beverage, hotel, and other operations comprised mainly of retail, golf, entertainment, and contracted sports wagering) and by relevant geographic region within Note 11.

Income Taxes. For interim income tax reporting, ~~for~~it was determined during the ~~three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021,~~second quarter of 2022 that the ~~Company estimates its~~Company’s annual effective tax rate could not be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company used the actual year-to-date effective tax rate to determine the tax expense incurred during the three and ~~applies it to its year-to-date pretax income or loss.~~six months ended June 30, 2022.

Reclassifications. The Company made certain minor financial statement presentation reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations or financial position.

~~Table of Contents~~

Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss) applicable to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional dilutive effects for all potentially-dilutive securities, including share-based awards outstanding under the Company’s stock compensation plan and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

Leases. The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the agreement. A contract is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

For material leases with terms greater than a year, the Company records right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, as measured on a discounted basis. For finance leases, the Company recognizes interest expense associated with the lease liability and depreciation expense associated with the ROU asset; for operating leases, the Company recognizes straight-line rent expense.

The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. However, costs related to short-term leases with terms greater than one month, which the Company deems material, are disclosed as a component of lease expenses when applicable. Additionally, the Company accounts for new and existing leases containing both lease and non-lease components (“embedded leases”) together as a single lease component by asset class for gaming-related equipment; therefore, the Company does not allocate contract consideration to the separate lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone prices.

Finance and operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as estimated by third-party valuation specialists in determining the present value of future payments based on the information available at the commencement date and/or modification date. The expected lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term for operating leases. For finance leases, the ROU asset depreciates on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the ROU asset and the lease liability accretes interest based on the interest method using the discount rate determined at lease commencement.

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~Preopening costs. Preopening costs are related to the preopening phases of new ventures, in accordance with accounting standards regarding start-up activities, and are expensed as incurred. These costs consist of payroll, advertising, outside services, organizational costs and other expenses directly related to new or start-up operations.

~~Income Taxes.~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes and includes removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and updates and simplifies certain areas of the codification. ASU 2019-12 was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, but did not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

The Company believes that there are no other recently-issued accounting standards not yet effective that are currently likely to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Includes the sale of “free play” at Rising Star for $2.1 million in May 2022, with such amount expected to be received in the third quarter of 2022. Because Indiana has a progressive gaming tax system and Rising Star is one of the smaller casinos in the state, the property has consistently sold its ability to deduct “free play” in computing gaming taxes to operators in higher tax tiers (though not sold until the third quarter in 2021).

Management believes that, as of June 30, 2022, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which a reserve had not already been recorded.

4. LEASES

The Company has no leases in which it is the lessor. As lessee, the Company has 1 finance lease for a hotel and various operating leases for land, casino and office space, equipment, buildings, and signage. The Company’s lease terms, including extensions, range from one month to approximately 3736 years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants, but the land lease at Silver Slipper does include contingent rent, as further discussed below.

~~Table of Contents~~

Operating Leases

Silver Slipper Casino Land Lease through April 2058 and Options to Purchase. In 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, Silver Slipper Casino Venture, LLC, entered into a land lease with Cure Land Company, LLC for approximately 31 acres of marshlands and a 7-acre parcel on which the Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel is situated. The ~~agreement~~land lease includes fixed, base monthly payments of $77,500 plus contingent rents of 3% of monthly gross gaming revenue (as defined in the lease) in excess of $3.65 million, with no scheduled base rent increases through the remaining lease term ending in 2058.

The Company executed a fourth amendment to the original lease with the landlord, effective March 2020, which granted a waiver of base rent for April and May of 2020. Such abatement totaled $155,000 and the value of such abatement will be amortized over the remaining term of the lease. From April 1, 2022 through October 1, 2027, the Company may buy out the lease for $15.5 million plus a seller-retained interest in Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel’s operations of 3% of net income (as defined) for 10 years following the purchase date.

Bronco Billy’s / Chamonix Lease through January 2035 and Option to Purchase. Bronco Billy’s leases certain parking lots and buildings, including a portion of the hotel and casino, under a long-term lease. The lease term includes 6 renewal options in three-year increments to 2035. ~~In May 2019, Bronco Billy’s~~The Company exercised its ~~second~~third renewal option to extend the lease term through January ~~31, 2023 and currently pays $32,500 per month in rent.~~2026, with current annual lease payments of $0.4 million. The lease ~~also~~ contains a $7.6 million purchase option exercisable at any time during the lease term, or as extended, and a right of first refusal on any sale of the property.

In June 2021, the Company remeasured this lease’s related ROU asset and liability balances by factoring in an additional renewal term through January 2026, with monthly rent increases to $35,000 starting in February 2023. Since part of Chamonix will be built on this leased land, management believes this remeasurement fairly accounts for such easement, until the Company becomes reasonably certain of exercising the purchase option.

~~Third Street Corner Building through August 2023 and Option to Purchase.~~ The Company leased a nearby closed casino in August 2018 and reopened it in November 2018. The reopened casino did not produce enough incremental revenue to offset the incremental costs, and it was closed in September 2020. The Company has the right to purchase the casino at any time during the lease term, as extended. Currently, the purchase price is $2.7 million if exercised by October 31, 2021 and increases to $2.8 million for purchase dates thereafter.

~~As part of the Chamonix development project, this building is currently used as office space for construction personnel, obviating the need for construction trailers. The lease includes a minimum~~ ~~three-~~year term with annual lease payments of $0.2 million, and was subsequently extended in June 2021 for an additional two years with annual lease payments of $0.3 million. Beginning in March 2021, such rent expenses have been capitalized as construction costs for Chamonix.

~~Grand Lodge Casino Lease through August 2023.~~ The Company’s subsidiary, Gaming Entertainment (Nevada), LLC, has a lease with Hyatt Equities, L.L.C. (“Hyatt”) to operate the Grand Lodge Casino. The lease is collateralized by the Company’s interests under the lease and property (as defined in the lease) and is subordinate to the liens of the 2028 Notes (see Note 5). Hyatt currently has an option to purchase the Company’s leasehold interest and related operating assets of the Grand Lodge Casino, subject to assumption of applicable liabilities. The option price is an amount equal to the Grand Lodge Casino’s positive working capital, plus Grand Lodge Casino’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the twelve-month period preceding the acquisition (or pro-rated if less than twelve months remain on the lease), plus the fair market value of the Grand Lodge Casino’s personal property. The current monthly rent of $166,667 is applicable through the remaining lease term ending in August 2023.

In July 2020, the Company executed a fifth amendment to the Hyatt lease that retroactively reduced rent amounts due during the closure period, specifically a 25% reduction in rent for March 2020 and a 50% reduction in rent for each of ~~April~~ ~~and May of 2020. Such reductions totaled $208,000 and such benefit is being amortized over the remaining life of the lease.~~

~~Corporate Office Lease through January 2025.~~ ~~The Company leases 4,479 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada. Annual rent is approximately $0.2 million and the term of the office lease expires in January 2025.~~

Third Street Corner Building through August 2023 and Option to Purchase. The Company leased a closed casino in Colorado in August 2018 and reopened it in November 2018. The reopened casino did not produce enough incremental revenue to offset the incremental costs, and it was closed in September 2020. The Company has the right to purchase the casino at any time during the extended lease term for $2.8 million.

As part of the Chamonix development project, this building is currently used as office space for construction personnel, obviating the need for construction trailers. The lease had an initial three-year term with annual lease payments of $0.2 million, and was subsequently extended to August 13, 2023, with current annual lease payments of $0.3 million.

Grand Lodge Casino Lease through August 2023. The Company’s subsidiary, Gaming Entertainment (Nevada), LLC, has a lease with Incline Hotel, LLC, the owner of the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort (“Hyatt Lake Tahoe”), to operate the Grand Lodge Casino. It is collateralized by the Company’s interests under the lease and property (as defined in the lease) and is subordinate to the liens of the Notes (see Note 6). The lessor currently has an option to purchase the Company’s leasehold interest and related operating assets of the Grand Lodge Casino, subject to assumption of applicable liabilities, and such option has not been exercised by the lessor as of this report date. The option price is an amount equal to the Grand Lodge Casino’s positive working capital, plus Grand Lodge Casino’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the twelve-month period preceding the acquisition (or pro-rated if less than twelve months remain on the lease), plus the fair market value of the Grand Lodge Casino’s personal property. The current monthly rent of $166,667 is applicable through the remaining lease term ending in August 2023.

On February 12, 2021, the Company refinanced all $106.8 million of its ~~existing~~ outstanding Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Prior Notes”) with the issuance of $310 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The 2028 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. There is no mandatory debt amortization prior to the maturity date. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the first interest payment due on August 15, 2021.

The net proceeds from the sale of the 2028 Notes were used to redeem all of the Prior Notes (including a 0.90% prepayment premium) and to repurchase all outstanding warrants. Additionally, $180 million of bond proceeds were placed into a construction reserve account to fund construction of Chamonix. ~~Accordingly, this~~

The Additional Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of February 12, 2021 (the “Indenture”), to which the Company issued the $310 million ~~was added~~of 2028 Notes noted above (collectively, the “Notes”).

On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into a third Supplemental Indenture to establish a special record date for the initial interest payment for the Additional Notes.

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. There is no mandatory debt amortization prior to the maturity date. Interest on the Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the next interest payment due on August 15, 2022.

Table of Contents

The ~~2028~~ Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”), by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The ~~2028~~ Notes and the Guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general senior secured obligations, subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), ranking senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the ~~2028~~ Notes and the Guarantees, if any. The ~~2028~~ Notes and the Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt.

The ~~2028~~ Notes contain representations and warranties, financial covenants, and restrictions on dividends customary for notes of this type. Mandatory prepayments, in whole or in part, of the ~~2028~~ Notes will be required upon the occurrence of certain events, including sales of certain assets, upon certain changes of control, or should the Company have certain unused funds in the construction disbursement account following the completion of Chamonix.

On or prior to February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the ~~2028~~ Notes with proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.25%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the ~~2028~~ Notes prior to February 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the ~~2028~~ Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium.

At any time on or after February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the ~~2028~~ Notes for cash at the following redemption prices:

~~Prior Notes~~Revolving Credit Facility due 2026.. On February ~~2, 2018,~~7, 2022, the Company ~~sold $100 million of Prior Notes~~entered into a First Amendment to ~~qualified institutional buyers. On May 10, 2019,~~Credit Agreement with Capital One, N.A., which, among other things, increased the Company sold an additional $10 million in aggregate principal amount of Prior Notes. Collectively, the Prior Notes were due to mature on February 2, 2024 and included quarterly principal payments as defined and interest based on the greater of the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 1.0%, plus a margin rate of 7.0%. The Prior Notes also had a prepayment premium of 0.9% when repaid on February 12, 2021.

The Prior Notes contained certain representations and warranties, events of default, and financial covenants that were more restrictive than the 2028 Notes. For example, the Company was required to maintain a total leverage ratio, which measured Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) against outstanding debt. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic onborrowing capacity under the Company’s ~~business operations in 2020, the Company executed amendments, and paid negotiated amendment fees, to delete the total leverage ratio covenant~~Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, ~~June 30, and September 30, among other items.~~

~~Revolving Credit Facility.~~ ~~On March 31,~~ 2021, ~~the Company entered into an agreement, which provides for a~~from $15.0 million to $40.0 million (the “Credit Facility”).

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~this report date, there were 0 drawn amounts under the Credit Facility ~~or any~~and an outstanding ~~letters~~standby letter of ~~credit.~~credit of $1 million related to the American Place project.

The Credit Facility is equally and ratably secured by the same assets and guarantees securing the ~~2028~~ Notes. The Company may make prepayments of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (without any reduction of the revolving commitments) in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Credit Facility contains a number of negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, are substantially similar to the covenants contained in the ~~2028~~ Notes. The Credit Facility also includes a requirement that the Company maintain, for the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, cash and equivalents totaling at least $20.0 million, excluding any amounts in the construction reserve accounts reserved for construction of Chamonix. The Credit Facility also requires compliance with a financial covenant as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, such that Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) for the trailing twelve-month period must equal or exceed the utilized portion of the Credit Facility, if drawn. The Company was in compliance with ~~both covenants~~this financial covenant as of June 30, ~~2021.~~

~~Unsecured Loans Under the CARES Act.~~ On May 8, 2020, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company executed promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) evidencing unsecured loans in the aggregate amount of $5,606,200 through programs established under the CARES Act (the “Loans”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). Such funds were principally used to rehire several hundred employees at Rising Star and Bronco Billy’s in advance of, and subsequent to, their reopenings in mid-June. The Loans were made through Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank (the “Lender”), bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, and originally had a two-year term.2022.

Legislation subsequently extended the original maturity dates to May 3, 2025 with no change to the annual interest rate. After a 15-month deferment period for principal and interest payments, the Company is required to make monthly loan payments totaling $128,557 beginning in September 2021. The Loans may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Such Loans may be forgiven, either in whole or in part, depending on the amount16

Table of such proceeds that are used for certain eligible expenses over a 24-week period, including primarily the payroll and health benefits of employees who might otherwise have been without jobs or health benefits. The Company has through the maturity date of the loans to apply for forgiveness; however, there is no certainty that any or all of such Loans will be forgiven.Contents

~~6. COMMON STOCK WARRANT LIABILITY~~

On February 12, 2021, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the 2028 Notes offering to redeem all of its outstanding warrants. As part of the Company’s former Second Lien Credit Facility, which was retired in 2018, the Company granted the second lien lenders 1,006,568 warrants. The settled repurchase price to redeem the warrants was $4.0 million.

The Company previously measured the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period. However, upon redemption of the warrants on February 12, 2021, the fair value was determined based on the negotiated repurchase price of $4.0 million. This resulted in a final incremental fair value adjustment of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the ~~three-~~three and ~~six-months~~six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were ~~1.5%~~459.3% and ~~12.2%~~1.0%, respectively, compared to effective income tax rates of ~~0.1%~~1.5% and ~~(0.8)%~~12.2% for the corresponding prior-year periods. The Company’s income tax ~~rates differ~~expense or benefit for interim periods has historically been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), adjusted for discrete items. During the second quarter of 2022, it was determined that minor changes to the Company’s forecast caused significant changes to the AETR, resulting in tax expense that was incomparable, period-over-period. Specifically, a slight movement in year-to-date pretax book income would exaggerate the impact of items that drive tax expense, resulting in large fluctuations in AETR and the resultant tax expense/(benefit). As a result, the Company calculated the actual tax expense based on the results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. This differs from the ~~statutory rate~~methodology used in the first quarter of ~~21.0% primarily due~~2022 to provide a more useful income tax expense for the ~~effects~~current period.

The Company continues to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and concluded that it has not met the “more likely than not” threshold. As of June 30, 2022, the Company continues to provide a valuation ~~allowances~~allowance against ~~net~~its DTAs that cannot be offset by existing deferred tax liabilities. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), this assessment has taken into consideration the jurisdictions in which these DTAs reside. The valuation allowance against DTAs has no effect on the actual taxes paid or owed by the Company.

In the future, if it is determined that we meet the “more likely than not” threshold of utilizing our deferred tax assets, as ~~well as certain permanent item differences between tax~~required under ASC 740, then we may reverse some or all of our valuation allowance. We will continue to evaluate the need for the valuation allowance during each interim period in 2022. Absent any unforeseen impact to our operations, we expect that a continuing trend of net income improvements could result in the reversal of the valuation allowance by the end of 2022. Such valuation allowance and its potential reversal has no impact on the actual income taxes paid or the Company’s financial ~~reporting purposes.~~situation.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ~~AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT~~

Litigation

The Company is party to a number of pending legal proceedings related to matters that occurred in the normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Options to Lease Land

Option Agreement for Public Trust Tidelands Lease in Mississippi. The Company has been evaluating the potential construction of an additional hotel tower and related amenities at Silver Slipper, a portion of which would extend out over the adjoining Gulf of Mexico. In contemplation for such potential future expansion, the Company paid $5,000 for an option agreement – entered into by the Company on June 8, 2021 and approved by the Governor of Mississippi on July 13, 2021 – for a 30-year lease of approximately a half-acre of tidelands, with a term extension for another 30 years, if exercised. This initial six-month option can be renewed for 3 additional six-month ~~increments~~periods, with the payment of $5,000 ~~upon~~for each extension. In November 2021, the Company paid an additional $5,000 to exercise its first six-monthoption ~~renewal.~~ extension through the end of May 2022. This option was further extended through the end of November 2022, when the Company paid an additional $5,000 to exercise its second six-month option extension in the second quarter of 2022.

Upon commencement of the ~~land~~ lease, and for the first 18 months or until the beginning of the next six-month period after the opening of commercial operations on the leased premises, whichever occurs sooner, rent ~~during construction~~ would be $10,000 for each six-month period ~~until the earlier of six~~(“Construction Rent”). Construction Rent would terminate no later than 18 months after ~~hotel operations have started or December 31, 2022.~~the commencement of the lease. Thereafter, annual rent would be $105,300, with adjustments, based on the consumer price index aton each anniversary. Before construction can commence, additional entitlements are necessary, including certain environmental approvals. There can be no certainty that the tidelands lease option will be exercised or that the contemplated Silver Slipper expansion will be built.

Contracted Sports Wagering in Illinois

In May 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Circa Sports to jointly develop and manage on-site sportsbooks at both The Temporary and American Place casinos in Illinois. Circa Sports currently operates at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and offers online sports wagering in several states. In addition to the on-site sportsbook, Circa Sports will utilize the Company’s expected mobile sports skin to conduct Internet sports wagering throughout Illinois. In exchange for such rights, the Company received a non-refundable market access fee of $5 million in May 2022, and will also receive a percentage of revenues (as defined) totaling at least $5 million per year, on an annualized basis, once Circa Sports launches operations in Illinois, which is contingent upon receipt of customary regulatory approvals in Illinois. The term of the agreement is non-cancellable under normal circumstances by Circa Sports for eight years, followed by 2 four-year extension opportunities at the option of Circa Sports.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Performance-Based Shares. The Company issued a total of 36,849 performance-based shares to 3 of the Company’s executives during the first quarter of 2022, of which 5,734 performance-based shares were canceled in April 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, an additional total of 70,834 performance-based shares were issued to 3 other Company executives. The vesting for these performance-based shares is based on the compounded annual growth rate of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Per Share, as defined, for the three-year periods ending December 31, 2022, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024. For the 2022 period, one-sixth of such performance-based shares will vest on the anniversary date of the award if the Company’s annual Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 reflects at least 10% per annum growth since 2019, and one-sixth of such performance-based shares will vest on the anniversary date if the Company’s annual Free Cash Flow Per Share for 2022 reflects at least 12% per annum growth since 2019. Vesting of the performance-based shares is similar for the 2023 and 2024 periods.

On March 14, 2022, due to the Company exceeding certain growth metrics in 2021, 23,325 previously-issued performance shares vested, resulting in the issuance of a similar number of shares of stock. Similarly, on May 15, 2022, an additional 6,917 performance shares vested.

~~11. SEGMENT REPORTING AND DISAGGREGATED REVENUE~~

The Company manages its reporting segments based on geographic regions within the United States and type of income. Those 5 segments, as of 2021, are: Mississippi, Indiana, Colorado, Nevada, and Contracted Sports Wagering. The Company’s management views the states where each of its casino resorts are located as operating segments, in addition to its contracted sports wagering segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. During the first quarter of 2021, since it is a significantly different business than its core casino business, the Company changed the aggregation of its operations to present Contracted Sports Wagering as a separate segment. This change of the reportable segments reflects realignment within the Company stemming from the expansion of the Company’s contracted on-site and online sports wagering skins. Additionally, this new segment breakout aims to enhance transparency of operations and allows for a more appropriate valuation of the Company’s various business components.

The Company utilizes Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the measure of segment profit in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each segment. As a result of the change in reportable segments described above, the Company has recast previously-reported segment information to conform to the current presentation in the following tables for enhanced comparability, which had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

The following tables present the Company’s segment information:

As of June 30, 2022, five of our seven online skins are contracted with other companies, and four are currently in operation. These contracts allow the counterparties to operate ~~these~~ online sports wagering sites under their own brands, ~~in exchange for~~paying us a percentage of revenues, as defined, subject to annual minimum amounts. As

Our financial results are dependent upon the number of patrons that we attract to our properties and the amounts those guests spend per visit. While we provide credit at some of our casinos where ~~we are~~ permitted to by local gaming regulations, most of our ~~revenues are cash-based, through~~ customers ~~wagering~~wager with cash or ~~paying~~pay for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. Our revenues are primarily derived from slot machines, but also include table games, keno, and sports betting. In addition, we ~~derive~~receive a significant amount of revenue from our hotels and our food and beverage outlets. We also derive revenues from our golf course at Rising Star, our recreational vehicle parks (“RV parks”) as owned at Rising Star and managed at Silver

~~Table of Contents~~

Slipper, our ferry service at Rising Star, and retail outlets and entertainment. We often provide hotel rooms, food and beverages, entertainment, ferry usage, and golf privileges to customers on a complimentary basis; the value of such services ~~are~~is included as revenue in those categories, offset by contra-revenue in the casino revenue category. As a result, the casino revenues in our financial statements reflect patron gaming wins and losses, reduced by the retail value of complimentary services, the value of free play provided to customers, the value of points earned by casino customers that can be redeemed for services or free play, and ~~accruals~~adjustments for certain progressive jackpots offered by the Company.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to seasonality, variations in gaming hold percentages and other factors. Consequently, our operating results for any quarter or year are not necessarily comparable and may not be indicative of future periods’ results.

Our market environment is highly competitive and capital-intensive. Nevertheless, there are significant restrictions and barriers to entry vis-à-vis opening new casinos in most of the markets in which we operate. We rely on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to pay interest, repay debt, and fund maintenance and certain growth-related capital expenditures. We continuously focus on improving the operating margins of our existing properties through a combination of revenue growth and expense management. We also assess growth and development opportunities, which include capital investments at our existing properties, the development of new properties, and the acquisition of existing properties.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic Update. ~~In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a~~The COVID-19 pandemic ~~(“COVID-19”). Although COVID-19~~ continues to ~~spread throughout the U.S.~~evolve. Governmental authorities continue to update their precautionary measures and ~~the world, vaccines designed~~promote vaccination programs to ~~inhibit the severity and~~manage the spread of the virus as different variants of the virus surface and subside. We have generally benefited from the gradual relaxation of pandemic-related business restrictions since 2021.

However, the COVID-19 ~~are now being distributed. As a result, the number of newly-reported cases has declined~~pandemic, and certain precautionary and stimulus measures, have created economic uncertainty both in the ~~U.S. from levels seen~~United States and globally, as well as significant volatility in, ~~late 2020~~ and ~~early 2021, though new variants~~disruption to, financial markets, labor markets and supply chains. Global supply chain disruptions have resulted in ~~a reversal of these trends~~shipping delays, increased shipping costs, supply shortages, and inflationary pressures, including increases in recent weeks. The new Delta variant of COVID-19, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to date, has begun to spread globally. COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of significant, government-imposed measures to prevent or reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, business restrictions, closing of borders, “shelter-in-place” orders and business closures. In March 2020, pursuant to state government orders to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we temporarily closed all of our casino properties. As a result, we experienced a material decline in our revenues until our properties reopened when permitted by local authorities in May and June 2020.

~~During the shutdown period, we evaluated labor, marketing~~prices for fuel, food, building materials, and other items. These increased costs, ~~at our businesses so that, upon reopening, our properties could reopen with significantly lower operating costs. As a result,~~labor shortages, and supply shortages continued to put additional constraints on our operating ~~performance since reopening in mid-2020 has been stronger than pre-pandemic levels, despite capacity restrictions throughout~~business and our casinos and in our restaurants and certain pandemic-related costs. The extent to which our financial and operating results in future periods may be affected by COVID-19, including the new Delta variant, will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time. Significant uncertainties include the ability to operate; new information which may emerge concerning new strains of COVID-19 and their severity; vaccination rates among the population; the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta variant; any additional actions imposed by governmental authorities to contain COVID-19 and the Delta variant or minimize its impact; increased operating costs and capacity restrictions as a result of COVID-19; increased costsconstruction projects for ~~materials due to supply chain constraints; and general economic conditions, among others.~~

~~The disruptions arising from COVID-19 continued to impact us during~~ the six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. We do not know when these cost, labor, and supply chain issues will materially alleviate and, accordingly, they may continue to impact our existing business and our construction projects in the near term.

At the same time, government stimulus checks and infrastructure packages can positively affect our businesses. The ~~duration~~timing and ~~intensity~~scale of ~~this global health emergency~~such packages, however, is inconsistent amongst periods and ~~related disruptions~~such government programs are ~~uncertain. While each of our properties are currently open and operating restrictions continued~~uncertain to ~~ease during~~continue into the ~~second quarter of 2021,~~future at the ~~current economic and regulatory environment~~same levels that they have in ~~each of our jurisdictions continues to evolve. For example, mask mandates for all employees and guests were re-introduced~~the past, if at ~~our Nevada properties in July 2021 in compliance with recent orders from Nevada state government officials. The manner in which governments will react~~all.

We believe that as ~~the global and regional impact of~~ the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, the direct and indirect impacts on global macro-economic conditions, as well as conditions specific to us, are becoming more difficult to isolate or quantify. In addition, these direct and indirect factors can make it difficult to isolate and quantify the portion of our costs that are a direct result of the pandemic versus costs arising from factors that may have been influenced by the pandemic, including supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures, labor shortages, and changes ~~over time is uncertain,~~in the spending pattern of customers. These factors and ~~such actions could significantly alter~~their effects on our ~~current operations.~~operations may persist for a longer period, even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.

Debt ~~Refinancing.~~ Financing.On February ~~12, 2021,~~7, 2022, we ~~issued $310~~closed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of ~~new~~additional 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 ~~Notes.~~(the “Additional Notes”), which sold at a price of 102.0% of such principal amount. Proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes are being used: (i) to develop, equip and open The ~~proceeds were used~~Temporary, which we intend to ~~redeem all $106.8 million of our senior secured notes due 2024 (the “Prior Notes”)~~operate while we design and to repurchase all outstanding warrants. Additionally, $180 million of bond proceeds were placed in a construction reserve account to fund our Chamonix project, including designing, developing, constructing, equipping and openingconstruct the ~~project. Proceeds were also used~~permanent American Place facility, (ii) to pay the transaction fees and expenses ~~related to~~of the ~~offering, leaving approximately $8 million added to our unrestricted cash balances.~~

~~Underwritten Equity Offering.~~ ~~On March 29, 2021, pursuant to an underwritten public offering (the “Equity Offering”), we issued an aggregate~~offer and sale of ~~6,917,250 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), including 902,250 shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to~~ the Representative’s exercise of a “greenshoe” option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. The price to the public in the Equity Offering was $6.65 per share of Common Stock. The gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $46.0 million, before deducting underwriting discountsAdditional Notes and ~~commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Equity Offering~~(iii) for ~~development, working capital and~~ general corporate purposes.

~~New Credit Facility.~~ ~~On March 31, 2021,~~ Also in February 2022, we entered into a credit agreement among Full House Resorts, Inc., as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent. The credit agreement provides for a $15.0 million, five-year,amended our senior secured revolving credit facility agreement to, among other things, increase its size from $15.0 million to $40.0 million. As of this report date, there were no drawn amounts under the Credit Facility and ~~includes a~~an outstanding standby letter of credit ~~sub-facility, which may be used for working capital and other ongoing general purposes.~~

~~Chamonix Casino Hotel Project.~~ ~~In 2018, we began planning and design work on Chamonix, a new and distinct luxury hotel and casino located adjacent to our existing Bronco Billy’s casino. Reflecting changes made~~of $1 million related to the state’s gaming laws in November 2020, including the elimination of betting limits and the approval of new table games, we increased the size of Chamonix by 67% to approximately 300 luxury guest rooms and suites, from our previously-planned 180 guest rooms. Such plans were approved by the Cripple Creek Historic Preservation Commission and Cripple Creek City Council in January and February 2021.

We recently completed the major portion of the on-site utility work. Installation of micro-piles to support the foundations are approximately 25% complete. Substantial completion of the project is expected in the fourth quarter of 2022 and will include a new casino, approximately 300 luxury guest rooms and suites, parking garage, meeting and entertainment space, outdoor rooftop pool, spa, and fine-dining restaurant. It is still relatively early in the construction process, so estimates of cost and completion dates still contain substantial uncertainty.

The development plan for our Chamonix site allows us to add an additional hotel wing. We are currently evaluating whether to build this additional hotel wing now, given the ease to do so while we construct the broader Chamonix project. That additional wing, if constructed, would increase the total capacity of our hotel by 23%, to approximately 370 guestrooms. We believe that it could be funded, along with the rest of the project, from our existing cash balances, which totaled $281.5 million at the end of the second quarter. Such addition requires approvals from the Cripple Creek Historic Preservation Commission and Cripple Creek City Council. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such approvals and choose to further expand our ChamonixAmerican Place project.

Sports Wagering in ~~Colorado and Indiana~~Illinois. ~~Under state laws,~~In May 2022, we ~~are permitted a total~~entered into an agreement with an affiliate of ~~six~~Circa Sports to jointly develop and manage on-site sportsbooks at both The Temporary and American Place. Circa Sports currently operates at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and offers online sports wagering ~~“skins,” three~~ in ~~Colorado and three~~several states. In addition to the on-site sportsbook, Circa Sports will utilize our expected mobile sports skin in ~~Indiana. As of March 31, 2021, three of our six~~Illinois to conduct Internet sports wagering ~~skins had commenced operations. The fourth~~throughout the state upon the opening of the Temporary, subject to customary regulatory approvals. In exchange for such rights, we received a non-refundable market access fee of $5 million in May 2022 and ~~fifth skins commenced operations on April 1and April 23, 2021, respectively. We believe that the Company’s last remaining skin~~ will ~~commence operations in the coming months. We~~also receive a percentage of ~~defined~~ revenues (as defined) totaling at least $5 million, on an annualized basis, once Circa Sports commences operations in Illinois. The term of ~~each skin, subject to annual minimums. When all six skins are in operation, we should receive a contractual minimum~~the agreement is for eight years, followed by two four-year extension opportunities at the option of ~~$7 million per year of sports gaming revenues, with minimal related expenses.~~

~~Waukegan Proposal (American Place).~~ We continue to be one of three bidders for the opportunity to build a new casino in Waukegan, Illinois, midway between Chicago and Milwaukee, an area with high population density and no nearby existing casino. If awarded the license by the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”), we intend to develop and operate a temporary casino on that site while a permanent casino (named “American Place”) is being constructed. American Place is expected to include a world-class casino with a state-of-the-art sportsbook; a premium boutique hotel comprised of twenty luxurious villas, each ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet with full butler service; a 1,500-seat live entertainment venue; and various food and beverage outlets. American Place was one of three proposals certified by the Waukegan City Council in late 2019. At that time, the city’s consultant ranked American Place as the top proposal amongst the various submissions on numerous different criteria.

According to the IGB, the process for it to choose the preferred developer has been slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The IGB recently retained an experienced consultant to assist in its review. The IGB Administrator has indicated that he believes the IGB can make a preliminary suitability determination within six months of hiring an appropriate financial consultant. We can provide no assurances as to the timing or certainty that our project will be chosen by the Illinois Gaming Board for the available gaming license in Waukegan.Circa Sports.

Key Performance Indicators

We use several key performance indicators to evaluate the operations of our properties. These key operating measures are presented as supplemental disclosures because management uses these measures to better understand period-over-period fluctuations in our casino and hotel operating revenues. These key performance indicators include the following and are disclosed in our discussions, where applicable, for certain jurisdictions on segment performance:

Gaming revenue indicators:

Slot coin-in is the gross dollar amount wagered in slot machines and table game drop is the total amount of cash or credit exchanged into chips at table games for use by our customers. Slot coin-in and table game drop are indicators of volume, and are monitored on a consolidated basis in relation to slot and table game win. Such metrics can be influenced by marketing activity and, since reopening our properties, have not necessarily been indicative of profitability trends.

Slot win is the difference between customer wagers and customer winnings on slot machines. Table game hold is the difference between the amount of money or markers exchanged into chips and customer winnings paid. Slot win and table game hold percentages represent the relationship between slot win and coin-in and table game win and drop. Both the win/hold and win/hold percentages are monitored on a consolidated basis in our evaluation of Company performance.

Room revenue indicators:

Hotel occupancy rate is an indicator of the utilization of our available rooms. Complimentary room sales, or the retail value of accommodations gratuitously furnished to customers, are included in the calculation of the hotel occupancy rate.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin:

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our performance. For a description of Adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure.” We utilize Adjusted Segment EBITDA, a financial measure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as the measure of segment ~~profit~~profitability in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. For information regarding our operating segments, see Note 11 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report. In addition, we use Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin, which is calculated by dividing Adjusted Segment EBITDA by the segment’s total revenues.

The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements for the ~~three-~~three and ~~six-months~~six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and 2020.

Revenues. Consolidated total revenues decreased by $3.1 million and $3.8 million for the respective three- and ~~six-months~~six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2021 continued~~2022, primarily due to ~~be constrained by requirements to maintain “social distancing” during~~ the ~~ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (though to a lesser degree than~~absence of government stimulus programs of the ~~first quarter), including reductions~~same scale as in the ~~number~~prior-year periods; the competitive launch of ~~slot machines we operate,~~online sports wagering in nearby Louisiana, which adversely affected our in-house sportsbook in Mississippi; and planned construction disruptions at Bronco Billy’s to advance the ~~number of people that we can accommodate at each table game, the seating capacity~~completion of our ~~bars and restaurants, and restrictions on~~Chamonix project. Additionally, our revenues were impacted by factors that are inherently hard to quantify, as discussed in the ~~types~~“Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic Update” section above. These include inflationary pressures, which could affect the spending pattern of ~~food service we can offer. Despite these constraints, total revenues increased largely due~~customers, as well as labor shortages for us to ~~operations being closed from mid-March 2020 through much~~efficiently meet the demands of ~~the second quarter of 2020, as noted above. Of note,~~potential customers. These declines in revenue were offset, in part, by “Other Non-casino Revenues” ~~includes $1.5~~that included $2.2 million and ~~$2.5~~$5.0 million of revenue related to our ~~contracted sports wagering agreements~~Contracted Sports Wagering segment for the respective ~~three-~~three and ~~six-months~~six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, versus ~~$0.5~~$1.5 million and ~~$0.9~~$2.5 million, respectively, in the ~~respective~~ prior-year periods. ~~See~~ ~~“Operating Results – Reportable Segments”~~ ~~below for details.~~

Operating Expenses. Consolidated operating expenses increased by $0.9 million and $3.5 million for the ~~three-~~respective three and ~~six-months~~six months ended June 30, ~~2021 increased from~~2022, primarily due to preopening costs for The Temporary (expected to open in the ~~prior-year periods,~~fourth quarter of 2022) and for Chamonix (expected to open in mid-2023), as our workforce was temporarily and dramatically reduced in size for several months during the 2020 closure period. Upon reopening, we improved operating efficiencies at all of our properties, in part by better matching customer demand with the operating hours of ourwell as higher food and beverage ~~and table games departments. We also significantly reduced our marketing expenses upon reopening, benefiting from analytics provided by new marketing systems installed~~costs. To a lesser extent, increases in late 2019. These changes affected payroll and related expenses across all departments at the Company, as well as numerous volume-related costs, such as our cost of the food and beverages served to guests. Note that payroll and relatedoperating expenses during ~~the 2020 period included a brief period of continuing payroll, health care,~~2022 were also attributed to higher property insurance costs in Mississippi, additional professional fees, and other expenses related ~~costs for most of~~to our ~~employees as severance, despite the closure of all of the Company’s properties in mid-March 2020.~~growth.

Interest and Other Non-Operating Expenses.

Interest Expense

The increases in interest expense for the three- and six-month periods were primarily due to ~~an increase in our debt levels. In~~the February ~~2021, we refinanced approximately $106.8 million~~2022 issuance of the ~~Prior~~Additional Notes ~~with $310.0 million~~to fund construction of ~~new 2028 Notes for, among other reasons,~~The Temporary, which is expected to open in the ~~funding~~fourth quarter of ~~our~~2022. The increases in interest expense were partially offset by increases in capitalized interest due to the construction of The Temporary and Chamonix ~~project, as discussed under~~ ~~“Recent Developments.”~~ The interest rate on the Prior Notes was LIBOR plus 7 percentage points, with a 1% LIBOR floor, resulting in a floating rate of interest that was near the fixed rate coupon on the new debt of 8.25%. The new debt also has a significantly longer term than the Prior Notes.projects.

Other Non-Operating Expenses, Net

For the ~~three-month period~~respective three- and six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had approximately $19,000 and $4.4 million of other non-operating expenses, primarily consisting of debt modification costs related to our Additional Notes offering in February 2022. The corresponding prior-year periods had other non-operating income ~~totaling~~of $30,000 ~~related to nominal items. Such amount for~~and other non-operating expense of $7.5 million, respectively, with the six-month period ~~ended June 30, 2021 totaled $7.5 million,~~ including $6.1 million ~~related to~~for the extinguishment of our Prior Notes and $1.3 million for the ~~fair value adjustment to~~settlement of our outstanding warrants, which were repurchased in February 2021. The fair value adjustment reflected an increase in the warrant expense from $2.7 million at December 31, 2020, when the Company’s stock traded at lower prices, to their actual repurchase price of $4.0 million. For the prior-year’s six-month period, non-operating expenses included a non-cash benefit of $1.6 million for the fair value adjustment of theformer warrants. While the warrants were outstanding, increases in our share price resulted in increases in the value of the warrants, causing non-cash expense. Conversely, decreases in our share price resulted in decreases in the value of the warrants, causing non-cash income.

We recognized an income tax provision of $5.6 million and an income tax benefit of $45,000 for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which resulted in effective income tax rates of 459.3% and 1.0%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized respective income tax provisions of ~~approximately~~ $82,000 and $0.3 million, ~~for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021,~~ which resulted in effective income tax rates of 1.5% and ~~12.2%~~$12.2%, respectively.

See Note 7 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our tax expense calculations.

Indiana

Our Indiana segment consists of Rising Star Casino Resort. ~~Pursuant~~Total revenues during the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 11.5% and 6.6%, primarily due to the sale of “free play” at Rising Star. The state’s casinos are permitted to transfer “free play” to other casino operators within Indiana. Because Indiana has a ~~pandemic-related order from~~progressive gaming tax system and Rising Star is one of the smaller casinos in the state, the property has consistently sold its ability to deduct “free play” in computing gaming ~~commission, we temporarily suspended operations~~taxes to operators in higher tax tiers. Such sales resulted in $2.1 million of revenue and income in the second quarter of 2022. Rising Star also sold its “free play” for ~~a portion of~~$2.1 million during 2021, although not until the third quarter.

Similar to the Silver Slipper, Rising Star also benefited from customers receiving government stimulus payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior-year ~~period, from March 16, 2020 through~~period. As a result, casino revenue for the three-months ended June ~~15, 2020.~~

~~For~~30, 2022 declined by 9.8%. Slot revenue decreased by 9.2% (or $0.7 million) and table game revenue declined by 14.7% (or $0.1 million), both due to lower volumes during the ~~three- and~~second quarter of 2022.

Hotel revenues declined by 13.9% and ~~six-month periods, driven mainly by slot revenue that increased by 326.5% (or $5.4 million)~~12.4% during the respective three and ~~118.4% (or $6.9 million)~~six months ended June 30, 2022, due to relatively flat average daily rates on fewer occupied room-nights.

Colorado

Our Colorado segment includes Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel and the Chamonix project. ~~Pursuant~~Total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 35.6% and 32.1%, respectively, reflecting planned business disruptions to ~~pandemic-related state orders, we temporarily closed~~accommodate the construction of Chamonix. These disruptions include the temporary loss of all of the property’s on-site parking and all on-site hotel rooms, as well as the temporary loss of major portions of the casino. To alleviate the lack of on-site parking, Bronco Billy’s currently incurs the additional cost of complimentary valet parking, as well as a free shuttle service to an off-site parking lot.

Casino revenue decreased by 37.4% (or $2.1 million) and 34.3% (or $3.7 million) for ~~a portion of~~the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which were largely due to the construction disruptions mentioned above. For the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, slot revenue declined by 39.4% (or $2.1 million) and 36.2% (or $3.9 million), while table games revenue rose by 54.5% (or $66,000) and 72.9% (or $139,000) due to higher holds on increased volumes. Table games operations in the prior-year period ~~from March 17, 2020 through June 15, 2020.~~were significantly affected by pandemic-related limitations.

Table games revenue increased by $121,000 for the second quarter, but decreased by 37.5% for the six-month period because table games operations were not permitted to reopen in Cripple Creek until February 2021. Foodfood and beverage ~~revenues increased by 607.6% and 21.3% for~~revenue after the ~~respective three- and six-month periods, though limitations on seating and reduced operating hours continued for much~~temporary closing of the ~~second quarter of 2021.

Chamonix’s construction in mid-2023. The market in Cripple Creek is seasonal, favoring the summer months.

Nevada

The Nevada segment consists of the Grand Lodge and Stockman’s casinos. ~~Pursuant to pandemic-related state orders, we temporarily closed both Grand Lodge Casino and Stockman’s Casino for a portion of the prior-year period, from March 17, 2020 through June 4, 2020.~~

Our Nevada operations have historically been seasonal, with the summer months accounting for a disproportionate share of annual revenues. Additionally, snowfall levels during the winter months can often affect operations, as Grand Lodge Casino is located near several major ski resorts. We typically benefit from a “good” snow year, resulting in extended periods of operation at the nearby ski areas. ~~However, pandemic-related restrictions~~

Total revenues during the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 9.6% and 5.4%, primarily due to higher casino revenue. Slot revenue improved by 9.2% (or $0.3 million) and 8.1% (or $0.6 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due to increases in slot volumes and higher slot hold percentages at Grand Lodge. Table games revenue increased by 25.9% (or $173,000) for the ~~nearby ski resorts~~three-months ended June 30, 2022, similarly due to an increase in ~~late 2020~~table games volume and ~~early 2021 affected our business~~a higher hold percentage. For the six-months ended June 30, 2022, table games revenue was approximately flat despite an adverse table games hold percentage in the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $1.4 million, reflecting improvements in casino revenue, while Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 decreased to $2.3 million, reflecting adverse table games hold earlier during ~~2021.

Table of Contents

For the three-months ended June 30, 2021, total revenues increased by 334.2% or $3.6 million, and increased by 116.6% or $4.9 million for the six-month period. The increases were primarily due to higher volumes in 2021, as the prior-year periods were impacted by approximately three months of closure. Casino revenues increased by 331.5% or $3.3 million for the second quarter, and rose by 129.2% or $4.7 million for the six-month period. Much of that increase was from slot revenue, which grew by $2.7 million and $3.9 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively. Table games revenue improved $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, with the hold percentage increasing at Grand Lodge. Table games were not open at Stockman’s during the 2021 periods.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the three-months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $2.0 million to $1.4 million. For the six-months ended June 30, 2021, it increased by $3.6 million to $2.6 million. Both higher casino revenues and continued cost controls, specifically regarding labor and marketing expenses, have benefited operating results. As restrictions have eased in Nevada, both properties have improved revenues while continuing to maintain control of expenses.

Corporate

Corporate expenses for the ~~three-~~respective three and ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, ~~2021 rose~~2022 declined by 35.9% (or $0.5 million) and 13.8% (or $0.5 million), primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in accrued bonus ~~compensation, reflecting the Company’s improved operating results,~~compensation. Corporate expenses were $0.9 million and ~~professional fees. These increases were partially offset by the allocation of corporate service costs to the casino properties during 2021.~~

~~In April 2020, we began allocating certain costs to the properties, consistent with the practice of most public casino companies. Previously, such costs were carried at the corporate level. For~~$1.5 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~a total of $426,000 was allocated, consisting of $115,000 of costs allocated to our Mississippi segment, $113,000 to Colorado, $85,000 to Indiana and $113,000 to Nevada.~~respectively. For the six-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~a total of $832,000 was allocated, consisting of $244,000 of costs allocated to Mississippi, $225,000 to Colorado, $177,000 to Indiana~~corporate expenses were $2.9 million and $186,000 to Nevada. Management believes that such allocations are appropriate, as the corporate team provides additional support to each of our properties, and that such allocations make our segment results more comparable to other casino companies.$3.4 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, ~~pre-opening~~preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset disposals, project development and acquisition costs, and non-cash share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA information is presented solely as supplemental disclosure to measures reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) because management believes this measure is (i) a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming and hospitality industries and (ii) a principal basis for valuation of gaming and hospitality companies. In addition, a version of Adjusted EBITDA (known as Consolidated Cash Flow) is utilized in the covenants within our credit facility, although not necessarily defined in the same way as above. Adjusted EBITDA is not, however, a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. Accordingly, this measure should be considered supplemental and not a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flows as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$281.5~~$298.4 million of cash and equivalents, including ~~$176.6~~$190.2 million of restricted cash dedicated to the ~~construction~~completion of ~~Chamonix.~~Chamonix’s construction.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

We have significant outstanding debt and contractual obligations, in addition to planned capital expenditures related to the construction of ~~Chamonix.~~Chamonix, The Temporary, and American Place. Our principal debt matures in February 2028. Certain planned capital expenditures designed to grow the Company, such as the permanent American Place facility and the potential future expansion of Silver Slipper, ~~and our American Place proposal, if pursued, may~~are likely to require additional financing and/or temporarily reduce the Company’s ability to repay debt.

Our operations are subject to financial, economic, competitive, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. ~~Namely,~~Such factors include the potential effects of COVID-19 and its variants.

Such future developments ~~which~~ are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, as discussed under “Recent Developments.”

Debt

Long-term Debt. At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$310.0~~$410.0 million of principal indebtedness outstanding under the ~~2028 Notes. Additionally, in~~Notes, no drawn amounts under the ~~midst~~Credit Facility, and an outstanding $1 million standby letter of ~~the pandemic when all operations were suspended, we obtained the CARES Act Loans totaling $5.6 million.~~credit related to The Temporary’s construction. We also owe ~~$3.5~~$3.0 million related to our finance lease of a hotel at Rising Star.

~~8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028.~~ On February 12, 2021, we refinanced all of our outstanding Prior Notes through the issuance of $310 million of new senior secured notes due 2028. The 2028 Notes are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets and are guaranteed by all of our restricted subsidiaries. We placed $180 million of the debt proceeds into a construction reserve account dedicated to the construction of Chamonix.

The 2028 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. There is no mandatory debt amortization prior to the maturity date. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year.

~~Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2026.~~ On March 31, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement for a $15.0 million senior secured five-year revolving credit facility, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility. The credit facility may be used for working capital and other ongoing general purposes, excluding project costs for Chamonix, which was separately funded. The credit facility is equally and ratably secured by the same assets securing the 2028 Notes, and borrowings under the credit facility will be guaranteed by all of our assets and guarantees by all of our subsidiaries.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Unsecured Loans Under the CARES Act.~~ On May 8, 2020, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries obtained the CARES Act Loans in the aggregate amount of $5.6 million. Such funds were principally used to rehire several hundred employees at Rising Star and Bronco Billy’s in advance of, and subsequent to, their reopenings in mid-June 2020 from the mandated closures. Such unsecured loans may be forgiven, either in whole or in part, depending on the amount of such proceeds that are used for certain eligible expenses over a 24-week period, including primarily the payroll and health benefits of employees who might otherwise have been without jobs or health benefits. We intend to seek forgiveness of these loans, as permitted by the legislation, but there is no certainty that any or all of such loans will be forgiven.

See Note 56 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our debt obligations.

Other

Capital Investments. In addition to normal maintenance capital expenditures, we ~~intend~~continue to make significant capital investments related to the construction of Chamonix, The Temporary and American Place.

Chamonix. In January 2021, we increased the size of the Chamonix project’s hotel capacity by 67%, to approximately 300 luxury guest rooms and suites from our previously-planned 180 guest rooms. We also revised our construction budget for Chamonix ~~project~~ in ~~Cripple Creek, Colorado, which is currently underway.~~January 2022, increasing it from $180 million to approximately $250 million, reflecting supply chain issues, inflation, and a difficult construction environment. To fund Chamonix’s construction, we issued our 2028 Notes and placed a portion of such proceeds into a restricted cash account dedicated to the completion of Chamonix’s construction (see Note 6 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our debt obligations). We ~~currently~~ expect to invest approximately ~~$50~~$100 million ~~into the construction~~in 2022 and approximately $125 million in 2023, with an expected opening of Chamonix in ~~2021~~mid-2023.

American Place. We were selected by the IGB to develop and ~~an additional $130~~operate American Place in Waukegan, Illinois. While the larger permanent facility is under construction, we will operate The Temporary by American Place. In advance of The Temporary’s expected opening in the fourth quarter of 2022, pending customary regulatory approvals, we plan to invest approximately $80 million in 2022 ~~though some~~and approximately $20 million in 2023 to furnish, outfit and open the property, including significant upfront gaming license payments and the purchase of ~~these payments may not occur until early 2023 due~~casino equipment that is expected to be transferred to the ~~timing~~permanent casino once opened. To fund such construction, in February 2022, we issued $100.0 million of ~~accounts payable~~Additional Notes and ~~construction retainage amounts.~~increased the size of our revolving credit facility to $40.0 million (see Note 6 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our debt obligations).

Other Capital Expenditures. Additionally, we may fund various other capital expenditure projects, depending on our financial resources. Our capital expenditures may fluctuate due to decisions regarding strategic capital investments in new or existing facilities, and the timing of capital investments to maintain the quality of our properties. No assurance can be given that any of our planned capital expenditure projects will be completed or that any completed projects will be successful. Our annual capital expenditures typically include some number of new slot machines and related equipment; to some extent, we can coordinate such purchases to match our resources.

We evaluate projects based on a number of factors, including profitability forecasts, length of the development period, the regulatory and political environment, and the ability to secure the funding necessary to complete the development or acquisition, among other considerations. No assurance can be given that any additional projects will be pursued or completed or that any completed projects will be successful.

Hyatt Owner’s Option to Purchase our Leasehold Interest and Related Assets. Our lease with the owner of the Hyatt Lake Tahoe to operate the Grand Lodge Casino contains an option for ~~Hyatt~~the lessor to purchase our leasehold interest and related casino operating assets. See Note 34 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

We describe our critical accounting estimates and policies in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. We also discuss our critical accounting estimates and policies in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. There has been no significant change in our estimation methods since the end of ~~2020.~~2021.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among ~~others:~~

~~Risks Related~~others, those risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors and throughout Part II, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors and elsewhere of this Form 10-Q. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by us (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by us.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we completed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting them to material information relating to us, which is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

We have established controls and procedures designed at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings relating to personal injuries, employment matters, commercial transactions and other matters arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We maintain what we believe is adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate the risks of such proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (the “Annual Report”). The continuing COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of new variants, has heightened, and in some cases manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in our business, including those disclosed in the Annual Report.

On May 19, 2021, we granted 5,252 shares of restricted stock under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to each of our six non-employee directors, totaling 31,512 shares of restricted stock. These shares of restricted stock represent the equity portion of each director’s annual compensation for serving on our board and vest on May 19, 2022. These shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis that it did not involve a public offering.
