NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The interim condensed
consolidated financial statements of Full House Resorts, Inc. (the
"Company") included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The results of operations for the period
ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.
CONSOLIDATION - The condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.
EARNINGS PER SHARE - The Company applies Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 in computing earnings per share ("EPS").
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted EPS is determined on the assumption that outstanding options
are exercised and repurchased at the average price for the periods
presented. For periods in which a loss is reported, diluted EPS is
computed without regard to the assumed exercise of options, but is
based on the weighted average shares outstanding.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 1998, The Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Public Accounting issued Statement of Position
98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start - Up Activities." It requires
that the costs of start-up activities that had been previously
capitalized, be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, during the first
quarter of 1999, the Company's joint venture investments expensed
approximately $1.6 million of costs previously incurred. The Company
has recognized its 50% share of $824,045, net of the related tax
benefit of $280,175, yielding a net cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle of $543,870.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has several distinct operating segments as reflected in the
following tables. The Joint Venture segment includes the Company's
ventures with GTECH Corporation. (Note 4.) The operation of Deadwood

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1998
JOINT VENTURE INCOME. Joint Venture income decreased $42,811, or 4.4%
for the three month period and $31,231, or 1.7% for the six month period as
compared to the same periods in 1998. These decreases are primarily due to
improved operating results from the Oregon and Delaware joint ventures offset by
larger losses from Michigan and California, and a reduction in net Delaware
management fees.
OREGON JOINT VENTURE. The Company's share of income from the Oregon
joint venture was $281,456, an increase of 5.3% for the three month period, and
$545,879, an increase of 5.7% for the six month period. These increases are due
to continued growth in the market, coupled with the introduction in March 1999
of "Wide-Area-Progressive" games featuring a linked jackpot.
DELAWARE JOINT VENTURE. In June 1998, the Joint Venture Company agreed
to reduce its management fees by $15,000 per month for a 60 (sixty) month period
in consideration for Harrington Raceway funding certain revenue enhancing
capital improvements at the facility. This fee reduction began in June 1998, and
will continue until May 2003, for a total cumulative fee reduction of $900,000.
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's share of income from the
Delaware joint venture was $683,030 after the applicable management fee
reduction. This represented a decrease of $27,777 from the comparable prior year
period when no fee reduction was made. For the six month period ended June 30,
1999, revenues were $1,282,686 after the fee reduction. This represented a
decrease of $22,870 for the six month period. Before the fee reductions, the
Delaware venture posted increases of 2.4% and 5.1%, for the respective three and
six month periods.
CALIFORNIA AND MICHIGAN JOINT VENTURES. The Company's share of the loss
from the California and Michigan joint ventures increased by $29,160 and $37,888
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999. The majority of these
increases were due to increased activities related to the Michigan venture with
the Huron Potawatomi Tribe in Battle Creek. The Company has begun to incur
expenses in connection with assisting the Tribe in obtaining suitable land for
its gaming facility. These joint venture companies are still in the development
stage and do not have operating revenues.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Non-Resort expenses increased by
$16,329 and $145,039 for the respective three and six month periods ended June
30, 1999. These increases are primarily due to increased payroll and legal
expenses associated with the Company's efforts to develop the Biloxi,
Mississippi project. Resort expenses decreased by $80,802 and $228,565,
respectively, due to the disposal of Deadwood Gulch.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND DEBT ISSUE COSTS. Interest expense and debt issue
costs decreased by $87,430 and $244,449 for the three and six month periods,
respectively, primarily due to the 1998 repayment of debt associated with
Deadwood Gulch Resort ("DGR"), and lower amounts outstanding on the line of
credit.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. Interest and other income decreased by
$492,326 in the three month period and $514,434 in the six month period. The
Company realized a gain on the sale of DGR of $385,225 in the second quarter of
1998, and also received a one time reimbursement of $85,532 from its former
Chairman for previously incurred costs. In addition, in February 1998, the
Delaware LLC note receivable was paid in full.
INCOME TAX PROVISION. Income tax expense primarily represents state
taxes on the Company's earnings from its joint venture investments. For federal
tax purposes the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$3,400,000, which may be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The
loss carryforwards expire in 2007 through 2018. The availability of the loss
carryforwards may be limited in the event of a significant change in ownership
of the Company or its subsidiaries.
-10-
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE. In April 1998, The
Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Public
Accounting issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start -
Up Activities." It requires that the costs of start-up activities that had been
previously capitalized, be expensed as incurred. During the first quarter of
1999, the Company realized $824,045 of such costs that had been previously
incurred by its joint venture investments, net of the related tax benefit of
$280,175.
DEADWOOD GULCH RESORT. In May 1998, the Company completed the sale of
DGR and paid off the related outstanding indebtedness. There are no revenues or
expenses related to DGR in 1999. During the three and six month periods of 1998,
DGR generated operating losses of $135,465 and $201,293, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$342,509. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash of $393,590 was provided
by operating activities, as compared to $788,295 in the prior year period. The
decline is primarily due to the decrease in various current assets, including
restricted cash, of DGR prior to the sale. Net cash used in investing activities
was $1,143,259, primarily for options and deposits related to the Biloxi
project, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $2,461,027 in the
prior year primarily due to proceeds from the sale of DGR, offset by the
acquisition of land for the Biloxi project. There was no net cash provided by
financing activities during the current quarter as a temporary draw on the line
of credit was also repaid. In the comparable prior period, $3,905,982 was used
in financing activities, the result of the payoff of debt associated with DGR
and the borrowing and repayment of $2,000,000 under the line of credit. As a
result of the above factors, there was a net decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of $749,669 during the first six months of 1999.
On November 20, 1995, Full House merged a wholly-owned subsidiary into
Omega Properties, Inc. (30% owned by William P. McComas, a director /stockholder
of the Company). The shareholders of Omega received an aggregate of 500,000
shares of Full House Common Stock and a promissory note in the amount of
$375,000. The principal amount of this note accrued interest, payable quarterly,
at the "prime" rate, and such principal amount, together with accrued interest,
was payable upon demand of the holder of the note. William P. McComas received
the note and Mr. Fugazy, the other stockholder of Omega, received the shares.
This note was paid in full in 1998.
On May 31, 1995, DGR borrowed $5 million, secured by its real property.
The note accrued interest at prime plus 2 1/4 %, with monthly installments of
principal and interest based on a ten-year amortization period, with the
remaining balance due on May 31, 2002. On May 12, 1998, the Company completed
the sale of DGR and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the outstanding
balance of $3,165,861.
Full House is a party to a series of agreements with GTECH Corporation,
a leading supplier of computerized systems and services for
government-authorized lotteries, to jointly pursue certain gaming opportunities.
Pursuant to the agreements, joint venture companies equally owned by GTECH and
Full House have been formed. Full House has contributed its rights to the North
Bend, Oregon facility and the rights to develop the Torres Martinez,
Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi and Delaware State Fair projects to the
joint venture companies. GTECH has contributed cash and other intangible assets
and has agreed to loan the joint venture entities up to $16.4 million to
complete the North Bend, Oregon and Delaware facilities. Full House has agreed
to guarantee one-half of the obligations of the joint venture companies to GTECH
under these loans and has guaranteed to GTECH one-half of a $2.0 million loan to
the North end, Oregon Indian Tribe. GTECH also provides project management,
technology and other expertise to analyze and develop/manage the implementation
of opportunities developed by the joint venture entities. GTECH has also loaned
Full House $3 million, which loan was convertible, until January 1998 into
600,000 shares of Full House Common Stock. The loan conversion clause expired
without exercise. The note bears interest at prime. Interest is paid monthly and
the unpaid principal and interest are due on January 25, 2001. In addition, Full
House has been reimbursed by one of the joint venture companies for certain
advances and expenditures made by Full House relating to the gaming development
agreements. As part of this transaction, Allen E. Paulson, William P. McComas
and Lee Iacocca have granted to GTECH an option to purchase their shares should
they propose to transfer the same. The parties are no longer required to present
gaming opportunities to the other for joint development.

As a result of its agreements with GTECH, receipt by Full House of
revenues from the joint venture projects is governed by the terms of the related
agreements applicable to such projects. These contracts provide that net cash
flow (after certain deductions) is to be distributed monthly to Full House and
GTECH. While Full House does not believe that this arrangement will adversely
impact its liquidity, the Company's continuing cash flow is dependent on the
operating performance of its joint ventures, and the ability to receive monthly
distributions.
On February 23, 1998, the Company completed the purchase of a portion
of a proposed gaming site in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Company acquired the site
for $4,155,000 and the payment of certain related costs. The Company utilized
cash on hand of $2,155,000 and obtained a $2 million bank loan in connection
with the purchase.
The bank loan was repaid in June 1998 using the proceeds of the DGR sale.
Upon the payoff of the bank loan, the Company negotiated a $2 million
line of credit with the same bank. The line was renewed in February 1999. The
line bears interest at prime plus 1/2%, with interest payable monthly, and any
outstanding principal is due at maturity in February 2000. No amount was
outstanding at June 30, 1999.
In November 1998, the Company executed a series of agreements with Hard
Rock Cafe International related to the proposed development project in Biloxi,
Mississippi. Pursuant to a licensing agreement, the Company has the right to
develop and operate a Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. The Company agreed to pay a
territory fee of $2,000,000 in two installments. The first was paid in November
1998, and the second payment was due March 31, 1999. The Company has requested a
continuing extension for the second payment and is in discussion with Hard Rock
concerning an extended due date contingent upon financing for the development.
In September 1998, the Company and Allen Paulson formed a limited
liability company, equally owned, for the purpose of developing this project.
Mr. Paulson agreed to contribute a gaming vessel (the former Treasure Bay barge
in Tunica, MS.), and the Company agreed to contribute its rights to the Hard
Rock agreements. This entity plans to develop the Hard Rock - Biloxi and is
currently exploring various financing alternatives. The project, as currently
envisioned, is expected to cost between $250 and $300 million. Substantial
additional financing will be required for the Company to effect its business
strategy, and no assurance can be given that such financing will be available
upon commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
As of June 30, 1999, Full House had cumulative undeclared and unpaid
dividends in the amount of $1,470,000 on the 700,000 outstanding shares of its
1992-1 Preferred Stock. Such dividends are cumulative whether or not declared,
and are currently in arrears.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Company has implemented a Year 2000 program to ensure that its
computer systems and applications will function properly beyond 1999. The
Company believes that it has allocated adequate resources for this purpose and
expects its Year 2000 date conversion program to be completed successfully on a
timely basis. Although the ability of third parties with whom the Company
transacts business to address their Year 2000 issues is outside the Company's
control, the Company is discussing with its joint venture partners, significant
vendors and customers the possibility of any interface difficulties which may
affect the Company.
The Company has incurred approximately $10,000 to upgrade and replace
various hardware and software to address the Year 2000 issue, and does not
expect to incur any additional material costs. The Company has successfully
completed the testing of its critical internal systems.
The Company's joint ventures have reviewed their critical systems and
upgraded as necessary. Although comprehensive testing has not yet been
completed, they believe that all critical systems are now compliant. Manual
procedures have been updated for use in the event of certain automated system
failures. The joint ventures continue to monitor the progress of significant
vendors in their efforts to address this issue and provide assurances concerning
their state of readiness. The ability to mitigate the impact of the failure of
certain vendors systems is limited.
