	The interim consolidated financial statements of Full House Resorts, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “FHR” or 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. Certain information normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America has been omitted pursuant to the interim financial information rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

	These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 5, 2013, for the year ended December 31, 2012, from which the balance sheet information as of that date was derived. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

	The consolidated financial statements include all our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Silver Slipper Casino Venture, LLC (“Silver Slipper), Gaming Entertainment (Indiana) LLC (“Rising Star”), Gaming Entertainment (Nevada) LLC (“Grand Lodge”) and Stockman’s Casino (“Stockman’s”). Gaming Entertainment (Michigan), LLC (“GEM”), our 50%-owned investee was jointly owned by RAM Entertainment, LLC (“RAM”), until March 30, 2012, when the sale of RAM’s and our interest in GEM closed, and was consolidated pursuant to the relevant portions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation”. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

	On June 1, 2011, our compensation committee approved the issuance of 660,000 shares of restricted stock, then valued at the closing price of our stock ($3.88), with no discount. The majority of the shares (600,000) vested on June 1, 2013. The remaining shares have a three-year vesting schedule as follows: 20,001 vested on June 1, 2012, 20,001 vested on June 1, 2013 and 19,998 will vest on June 1, 2014. On January 15, 2013, our compensation committee approved the issuance of 50,000 additional shares of restricted stock, then valued at the closing price of our stock ($3.22), with no discount. These shares will vest over three years, 16,667 on January 15, 2014, 16,667 on January 15, 2015 and 16,666 on January 15, 2016. On June 5, 2013, our compensation committee approved the issuance of 15,000 additional shares of restricted stock, then valued at the closing price of our stock ($2.86), with no discount. These shares will vest over three years, 5,000 on June 1, 2014, 5,000 on June 1, 2015 and 5,000 on June 1, 2016. Vesting is contingent upon certain conditions, including continuous service of the individual recipients. The unvested grants are viewed as a series of individual awards and the related share-based compensation expense will be amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis as services are provided over the vesting period, and reported as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.

	We recognized stock compensation expense of $0.0 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. Share based compensation expense related to the amortization of the restricted stock issued is included in selling, general and administrative expense. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had deferred share-based compensation of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

	5. GOODWILL & OTHER INTANGIBLES

	Goodwill:

	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired in connection with Silver Slipper, Rising Star and Stockman's. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we test our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or if a triggering event occurs. We evaluate goodwill utilizing the market approach and income approach applying the discounted cash flows in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification™ ("ASC") Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other."

	Goodwill was $14.7 million for the Silver Slipper, $1.6 million for Rising Star and $5.8 million for Stockman's as of December 31, 2012. Goodwill was $14.7 million for the Silver Slipper, $1.6 million for Rising Star and $1.8 million for Stockman's as of September 30, 2013. Due to various factors, including weak economic conditions, lower than anticipated discretionary consumer spending, and increased competition in our Indiana market, we realized lower than expected operating results during the third quarter at some of our properties. We performed interim impairment assessments of goodwill for these properties as of September 30, 2013. We evaluated goodwill for all of the relevant properties and recognized a $4.0 million impairment of Stockman's goodwill. Our review of Rising Star resulted in approximately a 2.6% excess of estimated fair value using the discounted cash flows approach. We evaluated goodwill for the Silver Slipper utilizing the market approach, resulting in approximately a 20.1% excess of estimated fair value over carrying value considering an earnings multiple of 7.0.

	These calculations, which are subject to change as a result of future economic uncertainty, contemplate changes for both current year and future year estimates in earnings and the impact of these changes to the fair value of Stockman's, Rising Star and the Silver Slipper, although there is always some uncertainty in key assumptions including projected future earnings growth. If our estimates of projected cash flows related to our assets are not achieved, we may be subject to future impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Player Loyalty Program

The player loyalty program represents the value of repeat business associated with Silver Slipper’s and Rising Star’s loyalty program. The value of $5.9 million and $1.7 million of the Silver Slipper and Rising Star player loyalty programs, respectively, were determined using a multi-period excess earning method of the income approach, which examines the economic returns contributed by the identified tangible and intangible assets of a company, and then isolates the excess return, which is attributable to the asset being valued, based on cash flows attributable to the player loyalty program. The valuation analysis for the active rated player was based on projected revenues and attrition rates. Silver Slipper and Rising Star maintain historical information for the proportion of revenues attributable to the rated players for gross gaming revenue. The value of the player loyalty programs are amortized over a life of three years.

Land Lease and Water Rights

In November 2004, Silver Slipper entered into a lease agreement with Cure Land Company, LLC for approximately 38 acres of land (“Land Lease”), which includes approximately 31 acres of protected marsh land as well as a seven acre casino parcel, on which the Silver Slipper was subsequently built. The lease was amended and extended on February 26, 2013, as discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. The $1.0 million Land Lease represents the excess fair value of the land over the estimated net present value of the Land Lease payments. The $0.4 million of water rights represented the fair value of the water rights based upon the market rates in Hancock County, Mississippi. The value of the Land Lease and water rights are amortized over the life of the Land Lease, or 46 years.





Loan Fees

Loan fees incurred and paid as a result of debt instruments were accumulated and amortized over the term of the related debt, based on an effective interest method.

On October 1, 2012, we funded the purchase of the Silver Slipper with the full amount of the $50.0 million first lien term loan (“First Lien Credit Agreement”) with Capital One Bank, N.A. (“Capital One”) and the full amount of the second lien term loan (“Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with ABC Funding, LLC, as discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. We incurred $4.7 million in loan fees related to obtaining the First Lien Credit Agreement and $1.0 million in loan fees related to obtaining the Second Lien Credit Agreement. On August 26, 2013, we entered into a first amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Amendment”) and an amendment no. 1 to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Amendment”) and incurred $0.2 million in additional loan fees, as discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. All of the loan fees are amortized over the terms of the agreements. The First Lien Amendment modifications included an extended maturity date to June 29, 2016, therefore the amortization period for these loan fees was extended.

The aggregate loan fee amortization was $0.4 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, and $1.4 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

Gaming License

Gaming licenses represent the value of the license to conduct gaming in certain jurisdictions, which are subject to highly extensive regulatory oversight and, in some cases, a limitation on the number of licenses available for issuance. The value of $9.9 million of the Rising Star gaming license was determined using a multi-period excess earning method of the income approach, which examines the economic returns contributed by the identified tangible and intangible assets of a company, and then isolates the excess return, which is attributable to the asset being valued, based on cash flows attributable to the gaming license. The other gaming license values are based on actual costs. We reviewed existing gaming licenses as of September 30, 2013 and recognized an expense of $0.1 million related to gaming licensing costs pertaining to a former director and a secretary/general counsel, who are no longer affiliated with us. Gaming licenses are not subject to amortization as they have indefinite useful lives and are evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis unless events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the gaming licenses may not be recoverable. We incurred $0.1 million in costs related to pursuing a Mississippi gaming license during 2012, for the purchase of all of the outstanding membership interest of Silver Slipper Casino Venture, LLC which owns and operates the Silver Slipper.


Trademark

Trademarks are based on the legal fees and recording fees related to the trademark of the “Rising Star Casino Resort” name, and variations of such name. Trademarks are not subject to amortization, as they have an indefinite useful life and are evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis unless events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the trademark may not be recoverable.

Current Amortization

We amortize our definite-lived intangible assets, including our player loyalty programs, loan fees, land leases and water rights over their estimated useful lives. The aggregate amortization expense was $1.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively and $3.3 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

	At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, long-term debt consists of the following:

		2013			2012
	Long-term debt, net of current portion:
	Term loan agreement, $50.0 million on June 29, 2012, funded on October 1, 2012, maturing June 29, 2016, with variable interest as described in the fourth succeeding paragraph. (5.36% during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and 5.75% during the year ended December 31, 2012).	$	46,250		$	48,750
	Term loan agreement, $20.0 million on October 1, 2012, maturing October 1, 2016, interest rate is fixed at 13.25% per annum.		20,000			20,000
	Less current portion		(3,750	)		(2,500	)
		$	62,500		$	66,250

	First and Second Lien Credit Agreements. On June 29, 2012, we entered into the First Lien Credit Agreement with Capital One, which provided for a term loan in an amount up to $50.0 million and a revolving loan in an amount up to $5.0 million. On October 1, 2012, we entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement with ABC Funding, LLC as administrative agent which provided for a term loan in an amount up to $20.0 million. We funded the purchase of Silver Slipper with the full amount of the $50.0 million term loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the full amount of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The $5.0 million revolving loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement remains undrawn and available.





	On August 26, 2013, we entered into the First Lien Amendment and the Second Lien Amendment which amended certain provisions of the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements. The First Lien Amendment modifications included a $10.0 million increase to the term loan portion of the First Lien Credit Agreement to $56.3 million, a 1% lower interest rate and an extended maturity date to June 29, 2016. Also, certain financial ratio covenants were revised under the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements to accommodate the additional extension of credit under the First Lien Credit Agreement and our lease/purchase agreement related to the hotel adjacent to the Rising Star as discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. The $10.0 million term loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement remains undrawn and available and will be used to fund a portion of the $17.7 million construction of a six-story, 142-room hotel at our Silver Slipper property (“Silver Slipper Hotel”) being built between the south side of the casino and the waterfront, with rooms facing views of the bay. The remaining $7.7 million of the construction cost will be funded from available cash. As of September 30, 2013 we had funded $0.4 million in pre-construction costs for the Silver Slipper Hotel. We estimate that construction of the Silver Slipper Hotel will take approximately one year to complete, from the expected commencement of construction in November 2013.

	The First and Second Lien Credit Agreements are secured by substantially all of our assets and therefore, our wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee our obligation under the agreements. The Second Lien Credit Agreement is subject to the lien of the First Lien Credit Agreement. The First and Second Lien Credit Agreements contain customary negative covenants and events of default for transactions of this type.

	We have elected to pay interest on the First Lien Credit Agreement based on a LIBOR rate plus a margin rate as set forth in the agreement. The LIBOR rate is a rate per annum equal to the quotient (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest 1/16 of one percent) of (a) the greater of (1) 1.00% and (2) the rate per annum referenced to as the BBA (British Bankers Association) LIBOR divided by (b) one minus the reserve requirement set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement for such loan in effect from time to time. We pay interest on the Second Lien Credit Agreement at the rate of 13.25% per annum.

	As of December 31, 2012, we had elected, at our discretion, to prepay the principal payment of $1.3 million due April 1, 2013 on the First Lien Credit Agreement, in order to reduce interest costs. We elected, at our discretion, to prepay on June 3, 2013 the sum of $2.5 million in principal payments due July 1, 2013 and October 1, 2013. We further elected, at our discretion, to prepay on November 1, 2013 the sum of $2.5 million in principal payments due January 1, 2014 and April 1, 2014. The next scheduled principal payment is due July 1, 2014. We are required to make prepayments under the First Lien Credit Agreement, under certain conditions defined in the agreement, in addition to the scheduled principal installments for any fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 and thereafter. We are required to pay the entire outstanding principal on the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the respective maturity dates. Prepayment penalties will be assessed in the event that prepayments are made on the Second Lien Credit Agreement prior to the discharge of the First Lien Credit Agreement.

	7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

	We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we borrow against variable interest credit facilities. We reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates by entering into interest-bearing derivative instruments.

	Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swap Agreements
	During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we were subject to interest rate risk under the prior Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, until our repayment of the then remaining debt on March 30, 2012. We reduced our exposure to changes in interest rates by entering into the Swap with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which became effective on April 1, 2011.

	Effective March 30, 2012 the Swap was terminated, and $0.5 million was paid, which reflected the fair value of the Swap on that date, and we ceased to recognize the Swap as a liability on the balance sheet in long-term debt. Prior to the pay-off of the Swap, the Swap was marked to fair value and the adjustment of the Swap was recognized as income during the first quarter of 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the weighted average cash interest rate paid on the debt was 8.16%, including Swap interest and loan interest.

	Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Cap Agreements
	Currently, we are subject to interest rate risk under our Capital One First Lien Credit Agreement. In November 2012 in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, we entered into a prepaid interest rate cap agreement with Capital One for a notional amount of $15.0 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 1.5%. We prepaid $26,500 related to the agreement, which is effective from November 2, 2012 and terminates on October 1, 2014. Any future settlements resulting from the interest rate cap will be recognized in interest expense during the period in which the change occurs.

	Operating leases. On December 1, 2012, we amended and extended our corporate office lease through May 2018. Effective December 2010, Stockman’s entered into a lease agreement as lessee for its primary outdoor casino sign until November 2015. On June 28, 2011, the Grand Lodge entered into a Casino Operations Lease (“Grand Lodge Lease”) with Hyatt Equities, L.L.C. for approximately 20,900 square feet of building space occupied by the Grand Lodge gaming operations, as well as associated gaming office space. On April 8, 2013, the Grand Lodge entered into a first amendment to the Grand Lodge Lease (the “Amendment”) with Hyatt Equities, L.L.C. amending the terms of the lease. The Amendment extended the initial term of the Grand Lodge Lease until August 31, 2018 and makes certain other conforming changes. Except as set forth in the Amendment, all other terms of the Grand Lodge Lease remain in full force and effect.

	Silver Slipper entered into the Land Lease in November 2004 as amended in March 2009, September 2012 and February 2013, which includes approximately 31 acres of protected marsh land as well as a seven acre casino parcel, on which the Silver Slipper was subsequently built. In December 2010, Silver Slipper entered into a lease agreement with Cure Land Company, LLC for approximately five acres of land occupied by the Silver Slipper gaming office and warehouse space through November 30, 2020. On January 31, 2012, Silver Slipper entered into a lease agreement with Chelsea Company, LLC for a small parcel of land with a building which may be occupied by a future proposed Silver Slipper welcome center, through December 31, 2019. On January 11, 2013, Silver Slipper terminated a previous restaurant lease agreement with Diamondhead Country Club & Property Owners Association (“DCCPOA”) and entered into a contract to purchase services to be provided by DCCPOA related to its golf and country club through December 31, 2019.

	Land Lease buyout. The Land Lease includes an exclusive option to purchase the leased land (“Purchase Option”), as well as an exclusive option to purchase a four acre portion of the leased land (“4 Acre Parcel Purchase Option“), which may be exercised at any time in conjunction with a hotel development during the term of the Land Lease for $2.0 million. On February 26, 2013, Silver Slipper entered into a third amendment to the Land Lease which amended the term and Purchase Option provisions of the Land Lease. The term of the Land Lease was extended to April 30, 2058, and the Purchase Option was extended through October 1, 2027 and may only be exercised after February 26, 2019. If there is no change in ownership, the purchase price will be $15.5 million, less $2.0 million if the 4 Acre Parcel Purchase Option has been previously exercised, plus a retained interest in Silver Slipper operations of 3% of net income. In the event that we sell or transfer substantially all of the assets of our ownership in Silver Slipper, then the purchase price will increase to $17.0 million.

	The total rent expense for all operating leases was $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, and $2.1 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

	Silver Slipper Hotel construction

	On August 26, 2013, the Silver Slipper entered into an agreement with WHD Silver Slipper, LLC related to construction of the six-story, 142-room Silver Slipper Hotel (the “Construction Agreement”) being built between the south side of the casino and the waterfront, with rooms facing views of the bay. We expect costs related to the construction of the Silver Slipper Hotel to be approximately $17.7 million. We estimate that construction of the Silver Slipper Hotel will take approximately one year to complete from the expected commencement of construction in November 2013. We intend to finance $10.0 million of the construction cost with the proceeds of the term loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement as described in Note 6, with the remaining $7.7 million of the construction cost to be funded from available cash. As of September 30, 2013 we had funded $0.4 million in pre-construction costs for the Silver Slipper Hotel.

	Rising Star lease/purchase agreement

	On August 16, 2013, we entered into an agreement to lease/purchase a hotel at Rising Star (the “Rising Star Hotel Agreement”) with Rising Sun/Ohio County First, Inc., an Indiana non-profit corporation (the “Landlord”). Upon completion of construction, we will operate the Landlord’s 104-room hotel (the “Rising Star Hotel”), adjacent to the Rising Star. The Rising Star Hotel is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Rising Star Hotel Agreement provides we will be the lessee of the Rising Star Hotel and assume all responsibilities, revenues, expenses, profits and losses related to the Rising Star Hotel’s operations. The term of the Rising Star Hotel Agreement is for 10 years from the date the Rising Star Hotel is first open to the public (subject to certain early termination rights of the parties under the Rising Star Hotel Agreement) with the Landlord having a right to sell the Rising Star Hotel to us at the end of the term and our corresponding obligation to purchase it on the terms set forth in the Rising Star Hotel Agreement. During the term, we will have the exclusive option to purchase the Rising Star Hotel at a pre-set price. Beginning on January 1, 2014, we will pay a fixed monthly rent payment of approximately $83,000 during the term of the Rising Star Hotel Agreement unless we elect to purchase the hotel before the end of the lease period.

	Other items

	We received correspondence from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding a late filing of an informational return, which may result in a penalty. We have requested a waiver of penalties and believe our request is sustainable on the merits.

	We are party to a number of pending legal proceedings which occurred in the normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations

On February 26, 2013, Silver Slipper entered into a third amendment to the Land Lease which amended the term and Purchase Option provisions of the Land Lease. The term of the Land Lease was extended to April 30, 2058, and the Purchase Option was extended through October 1, 2027 and may only be exercised after February 26, 2019. If there is no change in ownership, the purchase price will be $15.5 million, less $2.0 million if the 4 Acre Parcel Purchase Option has been previously exercised, plus a retained interest in Silver Slipper operations of 3% of net income. In the event that we sell or transfer substantially all of the assets of our ownership in Silver Slipper, then the purchase price will increase to $17.0 million.
