BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2014 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

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 the results that may be expected for the entire year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Full House and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain minor reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Restricted cash. The Company is required to maintain a segregated construction trust account for proceeds drawn from its construction loan which have not yet been remitted to contractors for the hotel at Silver Slipper Casino.

Income taxes. For interim income tax reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to its year-to-date pretax income or loss. During the second quarter of 2015, it was determined that the Company's annual effective tax rate could not be reasonably estimated. This remains true for the third quarter. As a result, the year-to-date effective tax rate was used to determine the tax expense (benefit) incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net income (loss) per share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the additional dilution for all potentially-dilutive securities, such as stock options.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the effect of all potential common share equivalents were anti-dilutive, and therefore all such shares were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for these periods.
 
Recently issued accounting standards. Management believes that there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet effective that are likely to have a material impact on our financial statements.
