CEDAR FAIR, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 29, 2013MARCH 30, 2014 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2012MARCH 31, 2013
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the financial records of Cedar Fair, L.P. (the Partnership) without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods covered in this report.
Due to the highly seasonal nature of the Partnership’s amusement and water park operations, the results for any interim period are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Accordingly, the Partnership has elected to present financial information regarding operations and cash flows for the preceding fiscal twelve-month periods ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 and September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 to accompany the quarterly results. Because amounts for the fiscal twelve months ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 include actual 20122013 season operating results, they may not be indicative of 20132014 full calendar year operations.

(1) Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies:
The Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 and September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 included in this Form 10-Q report have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 20122013, which were included in the Form 10-K/A10-K filed on May 10, 2013.February 26, 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K/A10-K referred to above.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures made to maintain such assets in their original operating condition are expensed as incurred, and improvements and upgrades are generally capitalized. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The unit method is used for all individual assets.
Change in Depreciation Method
Effective January 1, 2013, the Partnership changed its method of depreciation for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the groups of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition from the composite method to the unit method.
Historically, the Partnership had used the composite depreciation method for land improvements, buildings, rides and equipment for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the group of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition. The unit method was only used for individual assets purchased. Under the composite depreciation method, assets with similar estimated lives are grouped together and the several pools of assets are depreciated on an aggregate basis. No gain or loss is recognized on normal retirements of composite assets. Instead, the net book value of a retired asset reduces accumulated depreciation for the composite group. Unusual retirements of composite assets could result in the recognition of a gain or loss. Under the unit method of depreciation, individual assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, with gains and losses on all asset retirements recognized currently in income.
In order to improve comparability and enhance the level of precision associated with allocating historical cost, the Partnership had determined that it was preferable to change from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation for all assets. The Partnership believes that pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, changing from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle, which should be accounted for prospectively. This prospective application resulted in the discontinuance of the composite method of depreciation for all prior acquisitions with the existing net book value of each composite pool allocated to the remaining individual assets (units) in that pool with each unit assigned an appropriate remaining useful life on an individual unit basis. Assigning a useful life to each unit in the various composite pools had an insignificant effect on the weighted average useful lives of all assets that were previously accounted for under the composite method.
The change in depreciation method had an immaterial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 29, 2013.Future asset retirements could have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the periods such items occur.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, Update 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The Partnership adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2013 and it did not impact its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") by component either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2013 and it did not impact the Partnership's consolidated financial statements. The Partnership has elected to present movements out of Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") via an additional disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date,” which requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following:

The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors.
Any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.

The guidance in this Update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as other information about those obligations. The amendments in the Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, however early adoption is permitted. The Partnership does not anticipate this guidance having a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On July 17, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". The ASU amends ASC 815 to allow entities to use the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, in addition to U.S. Treasury rates and LIBOR, as a benchmark interest rate in accounting for fair value and cash flow hedges in the United States. The ASU also eliminates the provision from ASC 815-20-25-6 that prohibits the use of different benchmark rates for similar hedges except in rare and justifiable circumstances. The ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013 (i.e., the ASU’s issuance date), and for hedging relationships redesignated on or after that date. The Partnership adopted this guidance in the thirdfirst quarter of 2014 and no material impact on its financial statements occurred.the December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 Unaudited Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets in Note 12 reflect the effect of the adoption of this guidance.

On July 18, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". The ASU provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit ("UTB") when a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. Under the ASU, an entity must present a UTB, or a portion of a UTB, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset ("DTA") for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when:

An NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position.
The entity does not intend to use the DTA for this purpose (provided that the tax law permits a choice).

If either of these conditions exists, an entity should present a UTB in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the UTB with a DTA. New recurring disclosures are not required because the ASU does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The Partnership does not anticipateadopted this guidance having a materialin the first quarter of 2014 and it did not impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(2) Interim Reporting:
The Partnership owns and operates eleven amusement parks, three separately gated outdoor water parks, one indoor water park and five hotels. Virtually all of the Partnership’s revenues from its seasonal amusement parks, as well as its outdoor water parks and other seasonal resort facilities, are realized during a 130- to 140-day operating period beginning in early May, with the major portion concentrated in the third quarter during the peak vacation months of July and August. Knott's Berry Farm is open daily on a year-round basis. Castaway Bay is generally open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day, plus a limited daily schedule for the balance of the year.
To assure that these highly seasonal operations will not result in misleading comparisons of current and subsequent interim periods, the Partnership has adopted the following accounting and reporting procedures for its seasonal parks: (a) revenues on multi-day admission tickets are recognized over the estimated number of visits expected for each type of ticket and are adjusted periodically during the season, (b) depreciation, advertising and certain seasonal operating costs are expensed during each park’s operating season, including certain costs incurred prior to the season which are amortized over the season, and (c) all other costs are expensed as incurred or ratably over the entire year.


(3) Long-Lived Assets:
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In order to determine if an asset has been impaired, assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable, independent cash flows are available. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in equity price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; and slower growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The long-lived operating asset impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of each asset group's carrying value to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including disposition. Projected future cash flows reflect management's best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in revenues and costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates and future estimates of capital expenditures. If the carrying value of the asset group is higher than its undiscounted future cash flows, there is an indication that impairment exists and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the asset group to its carrying value in a manner consistent with the highest and best use of those assets.

The Partnership estimates fair value of operating assets using an income, market, and/or cost approach. The income approach uses an asset group's projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital reflective of current market conditions. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The cost approach is based on the amount currently required to replace the service capacity of an asset adjusted for obsolescence. If the implied fair value of the assets is less than their carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.

Non-operating assets are evaluated for impairment based on changes in market conditions. When changes in market conditions are observed, impairment is estimated using a market-based approach. If the estimated fair value of the non-operating assets is less than their carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.

At the end of the third quarter of 2012, the Partnership concluded based on 2012 operating results and updated forecasts, that a review of the carrying value of operating long-lived assets at Wildwater Kingdom was warranted. After performing its review, the Partnership determined that a portion of the park's fixed assets were impaired. Also, at the end of the third quarter of 2012, the Partnership concluded that market conditions had changed on the adjacent non-operating land of Wildwater Kingdom. After performing its review of the updated market value of the land, the Partnership determined the land was impaired. The Partnership recognized a total of $25.0 million of fixed-asset impairment during the third quarter of 2012 which was recorded in "Loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, net" on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(4) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
In accordance with the applicable accounting rules, goodwill is not amortized, but, along with indefinite-lived trade-names, is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. As of March 30, 2014, there were no indicators of impairment. The Partnership's annual testing date is December 31.
The Partnership tested goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment on December 31, 20122013 and no impairment was indicated. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” which gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. The Partnership adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2012 and it did not impact its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which allows an entity the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, thus necessitating that it perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The revised standard is effective for annual impairment testing performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, however early adoption was permitted. The Partnership adopted this guidance during the third quarter of 2012 and it did not impact its consolidated financial statements.
A summary of changes in the Partnership’s carrying value of goodwill for the ninethree months ended September 29,March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013 is as follows:

(5) Long-Term Debt:

In July 2010, the Partnership issued $405 million of 9.125% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2018, in a private placement, including $5.6 million of Original Issue Discount ("OID") to yield 9.375%. Concurrently with this offering, the Partnership entered into a new $1,435 million credit agreement (the "2010 Credit Agreement”), which included a $1,175 million senior secured term loan facility and a $260 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The net proceeds from the offering of the notes, along with borrowings under the 2010 Credit Agreement, were used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the previous credit

facilities. The facilities provided under the 2010 Credit Agreement were collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.

The Partnership's $405 million of senior unsecured notes pay interest semi-annually in February and August, with the principal due in full on August 1, 2018. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 1, 2014 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to August 1, 2013, up to 35% of the notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 109.125%.

Terms of the 2010 Credit Agreement included a revolving credit facility of a combined $260 million. Under the 2010 Credit Agreement, the Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility had a limit of $15 million. U.S. denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points (bps) (with no LIBOR floor). Canadian denominated loans made under the Canadian portion of the facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in July 2015, also provided for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit. The Amended 2010 Credit Agreement required the Partnership to pay a commitment fee of 50 bps per annum on the unused portion of the credit facilities.

In February 2011, the Partnership amended the 2010 Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended 2010 Credit Agreement”) and extended the maturity date of the term loan portion of the credit facilities by one year. The extended U.S. term loan was scheduled to mature in December 2017 and bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 bps, with a LIBOR floor of 100 bps.

In March 2013, the Partnership issued $500 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2021, in a private placement, with no OID. Concurrently with this offering, the Partnership entered into a new $885 million credit agreement (the "2013 Credit Agreement"), which included a $630 million senior secured term loan facility and a $255 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The terms of the senior secured term loan facility include a maturity date of March 6, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 250 bps with a LIBOR floor of 75 bps. The term loan amortizes at $6.3 million annually. The net proceeds from the notes and borrowings under the 2013 Credit Agreement were used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the previous credit facilities. The facilities provided under the 2013 Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.

Terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement include a revolving credit facility of a combined $255 million. Under the 2013 Credit Agreement, the Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility has a sub-limit of $15 million. U.S. denominated and Canadian denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2018 and also provides for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit. The 2013 Credit Agreement requires the Partnership to pay a commitment fee of 5038 bps per annum on the unused portion of the credit facilities.

The 2013 Credit Agreement requires the Partnership to maintain specified financial ratios, which if breached for any reason, including a decline in operating results, could result in an event of default under the agreement. The most restrictive of these ratios is the Consolidated Leverage Ratio which is measured quarterly on a trailing-twelve month basis. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio iswas set at 6.25x consolidated total debt (excluding the revolving debt)-to-Consolidated EBITDA and will remain at that level through the end of the first quarter in 2014, and the ratio will decrease by 0.25x each second quarter beginning with the second quarter of 2014.2014 until it reaches 5.25x. As of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, the Partnership’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 3.573.63x, providing $184.1175.2 million of consolidated EBITDA cushion on the ratio as of the end of the thirdfirst quarter. The Partnership was in compliance with all other covenants under the 2013 Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.

The 2013 Credit Agreement also includes provisions that allow the Partnership to make restricted payments of up to $60 million annually, so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. These restricted payments are not subject to any specific covenants. Additional restricted payments are allowed to be made based on an Excess-Cash-Flow formula, should the Partnership’s pro-forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio be less than or equal to 5.00x. Per the terms of the indenture governing the Partnership's notes maturing in 2018, which is more restrictive than the indenture governing the Partnership's notes maturing in 2021, thewe can make restricted payments of $20 million annually so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, and our ability to make additional restricted payments in 2013 and beyond is permitted should the Partnership's pro forma trailing-twelve-month Total-Indebtedness-to-Consolidated-Cash-Flow Ratio be less than or equal to 4.75x, measured on a quarterly basis.x.

The Partnership's $500 million of senior unsecured notes pay interest semi-annually in March and September, with the principal due in full on March 15, 2021. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to March 15, 2016, up to 35% of the notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 105.25%.

As market conditions warrant, the Partnership may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by the Partnership, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise.

(6) Derivative Financial Instruments:
Derivative financial instruments are used within the Partnership’s overall risk management program to manage certain interest rate and foreign currency risks. By utilizing a derivative instrument to hedge our exposure to LIBOR rate changes, the Partnership is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, hedging instruments are placed with a counterparty that the Partnership believes poses minimal credit risk.
The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

In September 2010 the PartnershipWe have entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("September 2010 swaps") to effectively convert a totalinterest rate swaps that fix all of our variable rate term-debt payments. As of March 30, 2014, we have $600800 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. As a result of the February 2011 amendment to the 2010 Credit Agreement, the LIBOR floor on the term loan portion of its credit facilities decreased to 100 bps

Table of Contents

from 150 bps, causing a mismatch in critical terms of the September 2010 swaps and the underlying debt. Because of the mismatch of critical terms, the Partnership determined the September 2010 swaps, which were originally designated as cash flow hedges, were no longer highly effective, resulting in the de-designation of the swaps as of the end of February 2011. As a result of this ineffectiveness, gains of $7.2 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) through the date of de-designation are being amortized through December 2015.
In March 2011, the Partnership entered into several additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("March 2011 swaps") that when combined with the September 2010 swaps, effectively converted $600 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. The September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps were jointly designated as cash flow hedges, maturing in December 2015 and had fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.46%. For the period that the September 2010 swaps were de-designated, their fair value decreased by $3.3 million, the offset of which was recognized as a direct charge to the Partnership's earnings and recorded to “Net effect of swaps” on the consolidated statement of operations along with the regular amortization of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” balances related to these swaps. No other ineffectiveness related to these swaps was recorded in any period presented.
In May 2011, the Partnership entered into four additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("May 2011 swaps") that effectively converted another $200 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. These swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, mature in December 2015 and fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.54%.
As a result of the 2013 Credit Agreement, the previously described swaps were de-designated as the spreads of the 2013 Credit Agreement decreased to 75 bps from 100 bps in the Amended 2010 Credit Agreement. The May 2011 swaps remain de-designated as the amount of variable rate debt decreased to $630 million, resulting in no hedging relationship for these swaps. On March 4, 2013, the Partnership entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("March 2013 swaps") that were not designated as a cash flow hedge on that date. On March 6, 2013, the March 2013 swaps were combined with the September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps (together referred to as the "Combination Swaps"), and designated as cash flow hedges, effectively converting $600 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates. The Combination Swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, mature in December 2015 and fix LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.331%2.38%. At the time of the de-designation, the fair market value of the September 2010These swaps and March 2011 swaps was $22.2 million. Amounts in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) at the time of de-designation related to these swaps was $26.1 million. This amount is being amortized out of AOCI into expense in "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income through December 2015. At the time of the de-designation, the fair market value of the May 2011 swaps was $7.8 million and was immediately recognized into expense in "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.have been de-designated as cash flow hedges. During the third quarter of 2013, the Combination Swaps were de-designated as the hedge effectiveness testing indicated that these swaps would be ineffective throughout the remaining periods until maturity. This de-designation had no effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as previous amounts recorded in AOCI had already been accounted for on March 6, 2013.
During the thirdand fourth quarter of 2013, the Partnershipwe entered into threefour forward-starting interest rate swap agreements ("2013 forwards") that will effectively convert $400500 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in December of 2015. These swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, mature on December 31, 2018 and fix LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 3.00%2.94%.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Changes in fair value of highly effective hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in income. Amounts recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted transactions affect earnings. As of March 30, 2014 we have no amounts that are forecasted to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2013, $600 million of our portfolio qualified for hedge accounting and the fair value of these swaps are reflected in the above table. Subsequently, these derivatives were de-designated in the third quarter of 2013, as the hedge effectiveness testing indicated that these swaps would be ineffective throughout the remaining periods until maturity.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Certain interest rate swap contracts were deemed ineffective in prior years and no longer qualified for hedge accounting. As a result of discontinued hedge accounting, the instruments are prospectively adjusted to fair value each reporting period through Net effect of swaps on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The fair market valueamounts that were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss prior to the de-designation are reclassified to earnings and a corresponding realized gain or loss will be recognized when the forecasted cash flow occurs. As of March 30, 2014, approximately $11.8 million of losses remain in accumulated comprehensive loss related to the effective cash flow hedge contracts prior to de-designation. We estimate that losses of $7.9 million will be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2013, $200 million of the derivative portfolio at September 29, 2013 was a liability of $31.6 million, which was recorded in “Derivative Liability” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In 2007, the Partnership entered into two cross-currency swap agreements, which effectively converted $268.7 million of term debt at the time, and the associated interest payments, related to its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary from variable U.S. dollar denominated debt to fixed-rate Canadian dollar denominated debt. The Partnership originally designated these cross-currency swaps as foreign currency cash flow hedges. Cash flows related to these swap agreements were included in interest expense over the term of the agreement. These swap agreements expired in February 2012.
In May 2011 and July 2011, the Partnership entered into several foreign currency swap agreements to fix the exchange rate on approximately 75% of the termination payment associated with the cross-currency swap agreements that expired in February 2012. The Partnership did not seekqualify for hedge accounting treatment on these foreign currency swaps,as the amount of variable rate debt decreased to less than the total amount of our derivative portfolio, and as such, changes inthe fair value of these swaps are reflected in the swaps flowed directly through earnings along with changes in fair value on the related, de-designated cross-currency swaps. In February 2012, all of the cross-currency and related currency swap agreements were settled for $50.5 million.above table.

During the quarter ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, in addition to gains of $0.61.6 million recognized in income on the derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges (as noted in the tables above), $2.0 million of expense representing the regular amortization of amounts in AOCI was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter. The effect of these amounts resulted in a charge to earnings of $1.40.4 million recorded in “Net effect of swaps.”

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, $0.2 million of income representing the amortization of amounts in AOCI was recorded in “Net effect of swaps” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The effect of this amortization resulted in a benefit to earnings of $0.2 million recorded in “Net effect of swaps.”

The net effect of these amounts resulted in expense for the trailing twelve month period of $8.7 million recorded in “Net effect of swaps.”
 
(7) Fair Value Measurements:
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) relating to fair value measurements emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions (inputs) that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable, and valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the FASB’s ASC establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair values. The hierarchy is associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process—quoted prices are the most reliable valuation inputs, whereas model values that include inputs based on unobservable data are the least reliable. Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.


16


The three broad levels of inputs defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

13


A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, December 31, 2012,2013, and September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 on a recurring basis:

Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are determined using significant inputs, including the LIBOR forward curves, that are considered Level 2 observable market inputs. In addition, the Partnership considered the effect of its credit and non-performance risk on the fair values provided, and recognized an adjustment decreasing the net derivative liability by approximately $0.90.6 million as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 or September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, except for as described below.
At the end of the third quarter in 2012, the Partnership concluded based on operating results, as well as updated forecasts, and changes in market conditions, that a review of the carrying value of long-lived assets at Wildwater Kingdom was warranted. After performing its review, the Partnership determined that a portion of the park's fixed assets were impaired. Based on Level 3 unobservable valuation assumptions and other market inputs, the assets were marked to a fair value of $19.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $25.0 million during the quarter..
The fair value of term debt at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 was approximately $627.6618.9 million based on borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership on long-term debt with similar terms and average maturities. The fair value of the Partnership's notes at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 was approximately $922.0938.6 million based on public trading levels as of that date. The fair value of the term debt was based on Level 2 inputs and the notes were based on Level 1 inputs.

(9) Income and Partnership Taxes:
Under the applicable accounting rules, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable by the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries for the current year and for the impact of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which represent future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. The income tax provision (benefit) for interim periods is determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to the quarterly income (loss) of the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries. In addition to income taxes on its corporate subsidiaries, the Partnership pays a publicly traded partnership tax (PTP tax) on partnership-level gross income (net revenues less cost of food, merchandise and games). As such, the Partnership’s total provision (benefit) for taxes includes amounts for both the PTP tax and for income taxes on its corporate subsidiaries.
As of the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 the Partnership has recorded $1.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and/or penalties related to state and local tax filing positions. The Partnership recognizes interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. The Partnership does not anticipate that the balance of the unrecognized tax benefit will change significantly over the next 12 months.

(10) Contingencies:

The Partnership is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, none of these matters is expected to have a material effect in the aggregate on the Partnership's financial statements.

(11) Restatement:

The Partnership has made the following correction relating to its use of the composite depreciation method.

This correction, which impacts the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 and the Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for the three-, nine-, and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2012, reflects a subsequent determination that a disposition from the Partnership's composite group of assets was considered to be unusual. In certain situations under the composite method, disposals are considered unusual and, accordingly, losses are not included in the composite depreciation pool but are rather charged immediately to expense. In 2013, the Partnership's initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation in 2011 was normal, was reviewed in connection with a response to an SEC comment letter. The Partnership ultimately concluded that such disposition was unusual and that an $8.8 millioncharge should be reflected in the 2011 financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview:

We generate our revenues primarily from sales of (1) admission to our parks, (2) food, merchandise and games inside our parks, and (3) hotel rooms, food and other attractions outside our parks. Our principal costs and expenses, which include salaries and wages, advertising, maintenance, operating supplies, utilities and insurance, are relatively fixed and do not vary significantly with attendance.

Each of our properties is overseen by a park general manager and operates autonomously. Management reviews operating results, evaluates performance and makes operating decisions, including allocating resources on a property-by-property basis.

Along with attendance and guest per capita statistics, discrete financial information and operating results are prepared at the individual park level for use by the CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), as well as by the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President - Operations, and the park general managers.

Critical Accounting Policies:
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions during the normal course of business that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Management believes that judgment and estimates related to the following critical accounting policies could materially affect our consolidated financial statements:
  
Property and Equipment
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Self-Insurance Reserves
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Revenue Recognition

Income Taxes
In the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014, there were no changes in the above critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20122013 except as noted below..
Change in Depreciation Method
Effective January 1, 2013, we changed our method of depreciation for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the groups of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition from the composite method to the unit method.
Historically, we had used the composite depreciation method for land improvements, buildings, rides and equipment for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the group of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition. The unit method was only used for all individual assets purchased. Under the composite depreciation method, assets with similar estimated lives are grouped together and the several pools of assets are depreciated on an aggregate basis. No gain or loss is recognized on normal retirements of composite assets. Instead, the net book value of a retired asset reduces accumulated depreciation for the composite group. Unusual retirements of composite assets could result in the recognition of a gain or loss. Under the unit method of depreciation, individual assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, with gains and losses on all asset retirements recognized currently in income.
In order to improve comparability and enhance the level of precision associated with allocating historical cost, we had determined that it was preferable to change from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation for all assets. We believe that pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, changing from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle, which should be

37


accounted for prospectively. This prospective application will result in the discontinuance of the composite method of depreciation for all prior acquisitions with the existing net book value of each composite pool allocated to the remaining individual assets (units) in that pool with each unit assigned an appropriate remaining useful life on an individual unit basis. Assigning a useful life to each unit in the various composite pools had an insignificant effect on the weighted average useful lives of all assets that were previously accounted for under the composite method.
The change in depreciation method had an immaterial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 29, 2013.Future asset retirements could have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the periods such items occur.

Adjusted EBITDA:
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items, and adjustments as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) is a meaningful measure of park-level operating profitability because we use it for measuring returns on capital investments, evaluating potential acquisitions, determining awards under incentive compensation plans, and calculating compliance with certain loan covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the discussion of results of operations that follows as a supplemental measure of our operating results and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Results of Operations:

RestatementFirst Quarter -

We have madeOperating results for the first quarter historically include less than 5% of our full-year revenues and attendance. The results include normal off-season operating, maintenance and administrative expenses at our ten seasonal amusement parks and three outdoor water parks, as well as daily operations at Knott's Berry Farm, which is open year-round, and Castaway Bay, which is generally open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day plus a correction relating to our uselimited daily schedule for the balance of the composite depreciation method.year. The correction, which impacts the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 and the Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for the three-, nine-, and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2012, reflects a subsequent determination that a disposition from our composite group of assets was considered to be unusual. In certain situations under the composite method, disposals are considered unusual and, accordingly, losses are not included in the composite depreciation pool but are rather charged immediately to expense. In 2013, our initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation in 2011 was normal was reviewed in connection with a response to an SEC comment letter. We ultimately concluded that such disposition was unusual and that an $8.8 millioncharge should have been reflected in the 2011 financial statements.

Nine months ended September 29, 2013

The fiscal nine-month period ended September 29, 2013, consisted of a 39-week period andcurrent quarter included a total of 1,93694 operating days compared with 39 weeks and 2,178to 117 operating days forduring the fiscal nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.first quarter of 2013. The differencedecrease in operating days is primarilywas due to the sale of two non-corea water parks, as well aspark during 2013 and the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate for 2013.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 increased $56.3 million to $995.5 million from $939.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in revenues reflects a 6%, or $2.46, increase in average in-park guest per capita spending during the first nine months of the year when compared with the first nine months of 2012. In-park guest per capita spending represents the average amount spent per attendee to gain admission to a park plus all amounts spent while inside the park gates. The increase in per capita spending reflects a 5% increaseshift in the admissions per capEaster and a 6% increase in pure in-park spending, driven largely by improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued success of our premium benefit offerings. Additionally, for the nine-month period, out-of-park revenues increased 7%, or $7.3 million. Out-of-park revenues include the sale of hotel rooms, food, merchandise, and other complementary activities located outside of the park gates, as well as transaction fees from on-line product sales. The increase in out-of-park revenues was primarily driven by the strong performance of our resort properties, which drove higher average daily room rates while maintaining or growing occupancy rates. The increase in overall net revenues includes attendance that was essentially comparable through the first nine months of 2013 when compared with the same period a year ago. The variance in attendance is entirely attributable to the sale of two non-core water parks. Excluding the sale of the water parks, attendance increased 1%, or 195,000 visits on a comparable park basis.

Revenues for the first nine months of the year also reflect the negative impact of exchange rates and the strengthening U.S. dollar on our Canadian operations ($3.6 million) during the period.

For the nine-month period in 2013, operating costs and expenses increased 3%, or $15.6 million, to $595.8 million from $580.2 million for the same period in 2012, the net result of a $7.5 million increase in operating expenses and a $10.0 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A"). These cost increases were offset slightly by a 2%, or $1.9 million decrease in cost of goods sold during the period. The $7.5 million increase in operating expenses was due to increases of approximately $4.3 million in employee costs, $3.2 million in operating supplies and $1.5 million in maintenance materials, offset slightly by a decrease of $2.7 million in insurance expense. The increase in employee costs was primarily due to increased costs of benefits. Operating supplies increased due to premium benefit offerings and improved guest services. The $2.7 million decrease in insurance expense was due to a reduction in insurance settlements and accruals. The $10.0 million increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to additional marketing efforts and agency advertising costs, and increased full-time employee costs, largely related to performance incentives and an increase in staffing levels.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the period decreased $3.9 million due to several significant assets being fully depreciated at the end of 2012. For the nine-month period of 2013, the $8.7 million gain on sale of other assets relates to the sale of one of our non-core water parks. For the period, loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets totaled $2.3 million for the retirement of assets at several of our properties. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the period ended September 30, 2012 totaled $24.2 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom, offset slightly by gains on other retirements. After depreciation, amortization, gain on sale of other assets, loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, and all other non-cash costs, operating income for the period increased $75.3 million to $297.9 million in the first nine months of 2013 from operating income of $222.6 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2013 was $77.2 million, a decrease of $6.8 millionSpring Break holidays from the first nine months of 2012. The decreasequarter in interest expense was due2013 to the settlement of our Canadian cross-currency swapssecond quarter in the first quarter of 2012, the decrease in non-cash amortization expense resulting from the write-off of loan fees related to our prior credit agreement, and a decrease in revolver interest due to lower average borrowings and a lower effective interest rate from the March 2013 refinancing.

The net effect of our swaps resulted in a non-cash charge to earnings of $8.3 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared with a $1.3 million non-cash benefit to earnings in the first nine months of 2012. The difference reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI related to interest rate swaps, the write off of amounts in AOCI related to de-designated interest rate swaps, as well as gains from marking ineffective designated and de-designated swaps to market. During the current year-to-date period, we also recognized a $15.2 million net charge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency losses, which included a $14.4 million unrealized foreign currency loss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Additionally, due to our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees related to our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million charge to earnings in the current year-to-date period.

During the first nine months of 2013, a provision for taxes of $34.0 million was recorded to account for publicly traded partnership (“PTP”) taxes and the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries. During the same nine-month period in 2012, a $41.8 million provision for taxes was recorded. Actual cash taxes paid or payable are estimated to be between $14 and $17 million for the 2013 calendar year.

After interest expense and the benefit for taxes, net income for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 totaled $128.7 million, or $2.31 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with net income of $112.2 million, or $2.01 per diluted unit, for the same period a year ago.

For the nine-month period, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement), which we believe is a meaningful measure of our park-level operating results, increased to $405.2 million compared with $365.5 million for the fiscal nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. This increase was due to the growth in revenues produced in large part by the continued success of our premium benefit offerings, admissions sales and our food and beverage initiatives, offset slightly by an increase in employee related costs, advertising expenses, and operating supply costs related to targeted initiatives which enhance our guests' experiences at our parks. For additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, including how we define Adjusted EBITDA, why we believe it provides useful information, and for a reconciliation to net income, see page 38.

Third Quarter -

The fiscal three-month period ended September 29, 2013, consisted of a 13-week period and included a total of 1,019 operating days compared with 13 weeks and 1,177 operating days for the fiscal three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The difference in operating days is due to the sale of two non-core water parks, as well as the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate during 2013.2014.

For the quarter ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, net revenues increased 7%decreased 3%, or $38.6$1.3 million, to $592.1$40.5 million from $553.5$41.8 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012. This increase reflects a 7% increase in average in-park per capita spending and an 8%, or $4.4 million, increase in out-of park revenues, and attendance that2013. The decrease between periods was comparable with the prior year period. The increase in per capita spending was the result of higher admissions pricing, the successful expansion of our in-park premium benefit offerings, and improvements in our food and beverage programs. The increase in out-of-park revenues wasentirely due to the shift of the Easter and Spring Break holidays to the second quarter of 2014 from the first quarter of 2013. The impact of the calendar shift was partially offset by strong early season performance at Knott's Berry Farm. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, only three of our resort properties. Excluding14 properties were in operation. The other parks, including three of our larger parks, Cedar Point and Kings Island located in Ohio and Canada's Wonderland in Toronto, were in the sale our two non-core water parks, attendance increased 2%, or 207,000 visits on a comparable park basis.final stages of preparing to open for the 2014 operating season.

Operating costs and expenses for the quarter increased 4%, or $11.3$4.0 million to $275.0$106.7 million from $263.7$102.7 million in 2013 and were in line with expectations.

The increaseexpense as we continue to invest in employee related costs was primarily due to higher staffing levels, salary increases, and increases in benefit costs. Operating supplies increased due to premium benefit offerings and improved guest services. The $5.7 million increase in SG&A costs was due to increases in employee-related costs and agency advertising costs.

Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the current period was $1.6$1.0 million compared to $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2013, reflecting losses on the retirement of assets across allseveral of our parks. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaled $25.0 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom.

The net effect of swaps reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI related to the swaps and ineffective fair value movements in our non-designated derivative portfolio.portfolio, along with the write off of amounts in AOCI related to de-designated interest rate swaps. During the 2013 third2014 first quarter, we also recognized a $8.6$17.2 million net benefitcharge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency gains,losses, which included a $8.5$16.3 million unrealized foreign currency gainloss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Due to our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees related to our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million charge to earnings in the first quarter of 2013.

During the quarter, a provisionbenefit for taxes of $58.0$30.3 million was recorded to account for PTP taxes and the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries, compared to a provisionbenefit for taxes of $51.9$35.7 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in tax benefit recorded relates to the combination of a decrease in the pre-tax net loss for the period and a decrease in the effective tax rate.

After interest expense and the provisionbenefit for taxes, net incomeloss for the quarter totaled $190.4$83.5 million, or $3.41$1.51 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with a net incomeloss of $141.0$109.1 million, or $2.52$1.95 per diluted unit, for the thirdfirst quarter a year ago.

For the current quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased to $318.4 million from $292.3 million for the fiscal third quarter of 2012. The $26.1 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely attributable to incremental revenues resulting primarily from higher average guest per capita spending, as well as increases in out-of-park revenues in the quarter. These revenue increases were somewhat offset by higher costs associated with improving guest services and expanding our marketing efforts.

Twelve Months Ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 -

The fiscal twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, consisted of a 52-week period and 2,1402,118 operating days, compared with 53 weeks and 2,4162,403 operating days for the fiscal twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. The difference in operating days was due primarily to the sale of two non-core water parks, the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate during 2013, and the extra weekcalendar shift of operationsthe Easter and Spring Break holidays in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2012.2014 described above.

Net revenues totaled $1,124.71,133.2 million for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, increasing $40.6$51.1 million,, from $1,084.11,082.1 million for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. The 4%5% increase in revenues for the twelve-month period was driven by a 7%an increase in average in-park guest per capita spending, the result of a stronger admissions per cap and improved pure in-park spending. The increase in pure in-park spending was in large part the result of improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued success of our premium benefit offerings. Attendance for the period decreased between

yearsprimarily due to the extra week of operations in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012, as well as the sale of two non-core water parks during the current yeartwelve-month period. Excluding the sale of the two water parks, attendance would have increased . Out-of-park revenues increased $4.6$6.4 million primarily due to an increase in processing fees as partthe strong performance of our expansion of ticketing options. The increase in net revenues for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013 also reflects the negative impact of currency exchangeresort properties, which drove higher average daily room rates and the weakening Canadian dollar on our Canadian operations (approximately $3.2 million) during the period.occupancy rates.

Operating costs and expenses decreased $1.6increased $26.4 million, or less than 1%4%, to $700.3$720.5 million, in large part due to one less week of operations infrom $694.1 million for the current twelve-month period and were in line with expectations.ended March 31, 2013. The decreaseincrease in costs and expenses reflects a $2.9$19.3 million increase in operating expenses and a $11.4 million increase in SG&A costs, somewhat offset by a decrease in cost of goods sold of $4.3 million. The decrease of 4% in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by food and a $1.2 million decrease in operating expenses, due primarily to the one less week in the period. These year-over-year cost decreases were partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in SG&A costs.beverage efficiency initiatives. The increase in operating costs was due to higher normal operating and maintenance expense, enhancements to park infrastructure, and increased employment related costs including

performance bonuses. SG&A costs reflects a $2.8 million increase in employment-relatedincreased due to full-time labor and benefit costs, related to higher staffing levels andincluding incentive compensation, plans tied to company performance and a $3.0 million increase in advertising costs related to the transition to a new advertising agency somewhat offset byand consumer relationship management database development costs. Exchange rates had a $2.6 decrease in professional and administrative costs, the result of reductions in litigation expenses and consulting fees in the period. The overall decrease infavorable impact ($4.6 million) on costs and expenses also reflects the impact of exchange rates onat our Canadian operations ($1.0 million) during the period.

For the twelve-month period ending September 29, 2013,ended March 30, 2014, the gain on sale of other assets was $15.4$8.7 million reflectingdue to the gainsale of one non-core water park during 2013. Gain on sale of other assets totaled $6.6 million for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2013, reflecting the sale of two non-core water parksassets during the period. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the period was $8.4$2.9 million, due to the removal of a ride to enhance a section of one of our parks, as well asasset retirements of assets across all of our properties. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets during the period ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 totaled $34.5$30.8 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom and an $8.8 million charge for the retirementasset retirements across all of an asset which is further described in Note 11 to the financial statements.our properties.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the period decreased $4.8$5.0 million compared with the prior period due primarily to several significant assets being fully depreciated at the end of 2012.2012 and the later opening of parks for the 2014 operating season when compared to 2013. After depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges and all other non-cash costs, operating income for the current period increased $88.5$59.8 million to $309.0$296.5 million from $220.5$236.7 million.

Interest expense for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 decreased $12.5$7.6 million to $103.9$102.0 million, from $116.4$109.6 million for the same twelve-month period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense reflects a decrease in revolver interest in the period due to lower borrowings, and a lower average cost resulting from the March 2013 refinancing and a decrease in non-cash amortization expense resulting from the write-off of loan fees related to our prior credit agreement, and the impact of the settlement of our Canadian cross-currency swaps in the first quarter of 2012.agreement.

During the current twelve-month period, the net effect of our interest rate swaps was recorded as a benefit to earnings of $2.0 million compared to a charge to earnings of $8.1 million compared to a benefit to earnings of $10.9$8.7 million in the prior twelve-month period. The difference reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI, and write-off of amounts related to de-designated swaps, which were offset by gains from marking the ineffective and de-designated swaps to market in the current period. During the current period, we also recognized a $20.2$37.2 million charge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency losses, which included a $19.4$35.5 million unrealized foreign currency loss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Due toDuring the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, as a result of our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees that were paid as part of our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million non-cash charge to earnings recorded in "Loss on early debt extinguishment" on the consolidated statement of operations.

A provision for taxes of $24.0$25.7 million was recorded in the period for the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries and PTP taxes. This compares with a provision for taxes of $27.9$17.6 million in twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. The increase in tax provision recorded relates to the combination of an increase in pre-tax net income for the period, offset somewhat by a decrease in the effective tax rate.

After interest expense and provision for taxes, net income for the period totaled $118.4$133.8 million, or $2.12$2.39 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with net income of $105.9$58.1 million, or $1.89$1.04 per diluted unit, a year ago.

As discussed above, the current trailing-twelve-month results include one less week of operations due to the timing of the third quarter fiscal close. Comparing the twelve-month periods for both 2013 and 2012 onWe believe Adjusted EBITDA is a comparable 52-week basis, net revenues would be up approximately $55.1 million, or 5%, on increases in both average in-park guest per capita spending and out-of-park revenues, partially offset by a slight decline in attendance. The increase in average in-park guest per capita spending is primarily due to a higher admissions per cap and improved pure in-park spending, driven largely by improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued successmeaningful measure of our premium benefit offerings. Out-of-park revenues would have increased $6.3 million primarily due to an increase in transaction fees from on-line ticket sales. Attendance for the comparable period would have decreased 351,000 visits, primarily due to soft attendance during the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.

On a comparable 52-week basis, operating costs and expenses would have increased approximately $9.1 million, the net result of a $1.9 million decrease in cost of goods sold, a $6.2 million increase in operating expenses and a $4.8 million increase in SG&A costs. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in employment-related expenses of $3.3 million, a $3.9 million increase in operating supply costs, and a $1.6 million increase in utility costs. Somewhat offsetting these operating-expense increases were decreases in maintenance expenses of $3.5 million and insurance expenses of $1.6 million. The increase in employment-related costs was largely due to higher benefit costs and increased seasonal labor hours resulting from expanded operating hours at several parks, the introduction ofresults (for additional attractions and enhanced guest services at our parks. Operating supplies increased due largely to the introduction of new extra-charge attractions and incremental expenses related to our expanded premium benefit offerings. Utility costs increased primarily due to rate increases and the addition of new rides and attractions at the parks. The increase in SG&A costs for the period reflects a $3.4 million increase in employment-related costs due to higher staffing levels and incentive compensation plans tied to company performance, and a $4.0 million increase in advertising costs related to the transition to a new advertising agency. Somewhat offsetting these SG&A cost increases was a $2.5 million decrease in professional and administrative costs primarily due to reductions in litigation expenses and consulting fees in the period.

information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, forincluding how we define and use Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation from net income, see pages 31-32). For the twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013,March 30, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA increased $37.1$25.3 million, or 9%6%, to $430.7$420.7 million. On a same-week basis, Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-monthOver this same period, would have increased approximately $40.9 million, or 11%. On a same-week basis, our Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues) increased 19060 bps to 38.3%37.1% from 36.4%36.5% for the twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013,March 31, 2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the success of high-margin revenuesrevenue initiatives during the period, such as growth in our premium guest benefit offerings and our admission pricing, combined with another year of growth in our season pass base and a continued focus on controlling operating costs.

October 2013 -

Based on preliminary results, net revenues through November 3, 2013 were approximately $1,104 million, up 6%, or $65 million, compared with $1,039 million forcosts at the same period last year. The increase was the result of an approximate 6%, or $2.31, increase in average in-park guest per capita spending to a record $44.33, and an approximate 7%, or $8 million increase, in out-of-park revenues to $117 million. Also contributing to revenue growth was an increase in attendance of 100,000 visits, compared with last year. Excluding the sale of two water parks, attendance was up 2%, or 334,000 visits, to a record 22.7 million visits on a comparable park basis.level.

In July 2010, we issued $405As of March 30, 2014, our debt consisted of the following:
$405 million of 9.125% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2018, yielding 9.375% due to the notes being issued at a discount in a private placement, including $5.6 million of Original Issue Discount (OID) to yield 9.375%. The $405 million senior unsecured notes require semi-annual interest payments in February and August, with the principal due in full on August 1, 2018.July 2010. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 1, 2014 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to August 1, 2013, up to 35% of theThe notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 109.125%.pay interest semi-annually in February and August.
In February 2011, we amended our 2010 Credit Agreement (as so amended, the "Amended 2010 Credit Agreement") to provide a $1,175 million senior secured term loan facility with interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 bps along with a LIBOR floor of 100 bps. The amendment extended the maturity date of the term loan portion of the credit facilities to December 2018.
The Amended 2010 Credit Agreement also included a $260 million revolving credit facility. Under the agreement, the Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility has a limit of $15 million. U.S. denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps (with no LIBOR floor). Canadian denominated loans made under the Canadian portion of the facility also bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in July of 2015, also provided for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit.

In March 2013, we issued $500 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2021, in a private placement, with no OID. Our $500 million of senior unsecured notes pay interest semi-annually in March and September, with the principal due in full on March 15, 2021.issued at par. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to March 15, 2016,, up to 35% of the notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 105.25%. These notes pay interest semi-annually in March and September.

Concurrently with this offering, we entered into a new $885 million credit agreement (the "2013 Credit Agreement"), which included a $630 million seniorSenior secured term loan facility anddebt of $618.9 million, maturing in March 2020 under our 2013 Credit Agreement. The term debt bears interest at a$255 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The terms of the senior secured term loan facility include a maturity date of March 15, 2020 and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 bps with a LIBOR floor of 75 bps. The term loan amortizes at $6.3$6.3 million annually. The net proceeds fromDue to a prepayment made during 2013, we only have current maturities totaling $1.5 million as of March 30, 2014.

Under the 2013 Credit Agreement, were used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Credit Agreement. The facilities provided under the 2013 Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.

Terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement include a revolving credit facility of a combined $255 million. The Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility has a limitsub-limit of $15 million.$15 million. U.S. denominated and Canadian denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2018 and also provides for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit. The 2013 Credit Agreement requires the Partnership tothat we pay a commitment fee of 5038 bps per annum on the unused portion of the credit facilities.
At the end of the quarter, we had a total of $628.4$618.9 million of variable-rate term debt (before giving consideration to fixed-rate interest rate swaps), $901.6$902.0 million of fixed-rate debt (including OID), no$55.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand of $183.5$8.9 million. After letters of credit, which totaled $16.4$16.3 million at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, we had $238.6$183.7 million of available borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
In order to lock in fixed interest costs on a portion of our domestic term debt, in September 2010 we
We have entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("September 2010 swaps") tointerest rate swaps that effectively convert a totalfix all of $600 million ofour variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginningpayments. As of March 30, 2014, we have $800 million of interest rate swaps in October 2011. As a result of the February 2011 amendment to the 2010 Credit Agreement, the LIBOR floor on the term loan portion of its credit facilities decreased to 100 bps from 150 bps, causing a mismatch in critical terms of the September 2010 swaps and the underlying debt. Because of the mismatch of critical terms, we determined the September 2010 swaps, which were originally designated as cash flow hedges, were no longer highly effective, resulting in the de-designation of the swaps as of the end of February 2011. As a result of this ineffectiveness, gains of $7.2 million recorded in AOCI through the date of de-designation are being amortized through December 2015.
In March 2011, we entered into several additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("March 2011 swaps") that, when combined with the September 2010 swaps, effectively converted $600 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. The September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps were jointly designated as cash flow hedges, maturing in December 2015 and had fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.46%. For the period that the September 2010 swaps were de-designated, their fair value decreased by $3.3 million, the offset of which was recognized as a direct charge to earnings and

recorded to “Net effect of swaps” on the consolidated statement of operations along with the regular amortization of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” balances related to these swaps. No other ineffectiveness related to these swaps was recorded in any period presented.
In May 2011, we entered into four additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("May 2011 swaps")place that effectively converted another $200 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. These swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, mature in December 2015 and fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.54%.
As a result of the 2013 Credit Agreement, the previously described swaps were de-designated as the spreads of the 2013 Credit Agreement decreased to 75 bps from 100 bps in the Amended 2010 Credit Agreement. The May 2011 swaps remain de-designated as the amount of variable rate debt decreased to $630 million, and accordingly, the May 2011 swaps are now over hedged. On March 4, 2013, we entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("March 2013 swaps") that were not designated as a cash flow hedge on that date. On March 6, 2013, the March 2013 swaps were combined with the September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps (together referred to as the "Combination Swaps"), and designated as cash flow hedges, effectively converting $600 million ofconvert variable-rate debt to fixed rates. The Combination Swaps were designated as cash flow hedges,These swaps, which mature in December 2015 and fix LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.33%. At the time of the de-designation, the fair market value of the September 2010 swaps and March 2011 swaps was $22.2 million2.38%, which will be amortized out of AOCI into expense in "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive incomethrough December 2015. At the time of the de-designation, the fair market value of the May 2011 swaps was $7.8 million and was immediately recognized into expense in "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.have been de-designated as cash flow hedges. During the third quarter of 2013, the Combination Swaps were de-designated as the hedge effectiveness testing indicated that these swaps would be ineffective throughout the remaining periods until maturity. This de-designation had no effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as previous amounts recorded in AOCI had already been accounted for on March 6, 2013.
During the thirdand fourth quarter of 2013, the Partnershipwe entered into threefour forward-starting interest rate swap agreements ("2013 forwards") that will effectively convert $400$500 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in December of 2015. These swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, mature on December 31, 2018 and fix LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 3.00%2.94%.

The 2013 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain specified financial ratios, which if breached for any reason and not cured, could result in an event of default under the agreement. The most critical of these ratios is the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which is measured on a trailing-twelve-month quarterly basis. At the end of the thirdfirst quarter of 2013,2014, this ratio was set at 6.25x consolidated total debt (excluding the revolving debt)-to-consolidated EBITDA. The ratio will remain at that level through the end of the first quarter in 2014 and will decrease by 0.25x each second quarter beginning in the second quarter of 2014.2014 until it reaches 5.25x. Based on our trailing-twelve-month results ending September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 3.573.63x, providing $184.1175.2 million of EBITDA cushion on the ratio at the end of the thirdfirst quarter. We were in compliance with all other covenants under the 2013 Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.

The 2013 Credit Agreement allows restricted payments of up to $60 million annually so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. Additional restricted payments are allowed to be made based on an excess-cash-flow formula, should our pro-forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio be less than or equal to 5.0x, measured on a trailing-twelve-month quarterly basis.
At September 29, 2013, the

In accordance with these debt provisions, on August 8, 2013,February 26, 2014, we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.625$0.70 per limited partner unit, which was paid on September 16, 2013,March 25, 2014, and on November 7, 2013May 8, 2014 we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.70 per limited partner unit, payable DecemberJune 16, 2013.2014.
Existing credit facilities and cash flows from operations are expected to be sufficient to meet working capital needs, debt service, partnership distributions and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:
We had $16.4$16.3 million in letters of credit, which are primarily in place to backstop insurance arrangements, outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014. We have no other significant off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this report (including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section) that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements as to our expectations, beliefs and strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors, including those listed under Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, could adversely affect our future financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates, and to a lesser extent on currency exchange rates on our operations in Canada and, from time to time, on imported rides and equipment. The objective of our financial risk management is to reduce the potential negative impact of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to acceptable levels. We do not acquire market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
We manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed-rate long-term debt, interest rate swaps that fix a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt, and variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Translation exposures with regard to our Canadian operations are not hedged.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is reported as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify as effective hedging activities are reported as “Net effect of swaps” in the consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, the “Other comprehensive income (loss)” related to interest rate swaps that become ineffective is amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate swap, and reported as a component of “Net effect of swaps” in the consolidated statement of operations.

As of September 29, 2013,March 30, 2014, we had $901.6$902.0 million of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes and $628.4$618.9 million of variable-rate term debt. After considering the impact of interest rate swap agreements, virtually all of our outstanding long-term debt represents fixed-rate debt. Assuming an average balance on our revolving credit borrowings of approximately $31$27 million, a hypothetical 100 bps

37


increase in 30-day LIBOR on our variable-rate debt (not considering the impact of our interest rate swaps) would lead to an increase of approximately $3.8 million in annual cash interest costs.
Assuming a hypothetical 100 bps increase in 30-day LIBOR, the amount of net cash interest paid on our variable-rate debt, afterderivative portfolio would decrease by $4.6 million over the fixed-rate swap agreements, would lead to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in annual cash interest costs.next year.
A uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would result in a $3.7$4.2 million decrease in annual operating income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - 
The Partnership maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, the Partnership's management, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures under supervision of management, and with the participation of the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.


(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting -
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
On May 14, 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued an updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Originally issued in 1992 (1992 Framework), the framework helps organizations design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. The 1992 Framework remains available during the transition period, which extends to December 15, 2014, after which time COSO will consider it as superseded by the 2013 Framework. As of March 30, 2014, the Partnership continues to utilize the 1992 Framework during the transition to the 2013 Framework by the end of 2014.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Jacob T. Falfas vs. Cedar Fair, L.P.

On July 23, 2010, Jacob T. (Jack) Falfas, the former Chief Operating Officer, filed a demand for private arbitration as provided by his employment agreement.  In that demand, Mr. Falfas disputed the Partnership's position that he had resigned in June 2010, alleging instead that his employment with the Partnership was terminated without cause.  That dispute went to private arbitration, and on February 28, 2011, an arbitration panel ruled 2-to-1 in favor of Mr. Falfas finding that he did not resign but was terminated without cause. Rather than fashioning a remedy consistent with the employment agreement, the panel ruled that Mr. Falfas should be reinstated. The Partnership believed that the arbitrators exceeded their authority by creating a remedy not legally available to Mr. Falfas under his contract with Cedar Fair. On March 21, 2011, the Partnership filed an action  in Erie County Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 2011 CV 0217) seeking  to have the award modified or vacated.  On March 22, 2011, Mr. Falfas commenced a related action in the Erie County Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 2011 CV 0218) demanding enforcement of the arbitration ruling.  The two actions were combined into Case No. 2011 CV 0217, before Judge Roger E. Binette.  On February 22, 2012 the Erie County Common Pleas Court issued a ruling partially vacating the arbitration award and declaring that Mr. Falfas was not entitled to reinstatement of his employment.  The ruling also provided that in accord with paragraph 2 of the arbitration award Mr. Falfas was entitled to certain back pay and other benefits under his 2007 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement as if the employment relationship had not been severed.  In March of 2012 Mr. Falfas and the  Company both filed appeals of the Court's ruling with the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals in Toledo, Ohio.  On April 19, 2013, the Court of Appeals issued a ruling reversing the Erie County Common Pleas Court's order regarding the reinstatement of Mr. Falfas' employment and affirming the order regarding back pay and other benefits and remanding the case back to the Erie County

38


Common Pleas Court for further proceedings.  On June 3, 2013, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal and Memorandum in Support of Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme Court related to the April 19, 2013 Court of Appeals decision.  On July 2, 2013, Mr. Falfas filed a Memorandum in Opposition to Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme Court.  On September 25, 2013, the Supreme Court of Ohio accepted the appeal on Proposition of Law No. 1 related to the Supreme Court’s  holding in Masetta v. National Bronze & Aluminum Foundry Co. 159 Ohio St. 306 (1953), barring specific performance as a remedy for a personal services contract under Ohio law and its applicability to individual employment agreements.  The matter will now proceed on the merits and both sides will have the opportunity to fileBoth parties filed legal briefs with the court setting forth the basis of their legal arguments.  On April 9, 2014, the parties made oral arguments to the Court in support of their respective arguments.positions.  Upon the conclusion of the oral arguments the procedural stage of the case was closed and the case was submitted to the court for a final ruling.  The Partnership believes the liability recorded

48


as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 to be adequate and does not expect the arbitration ruling or the court order to materially affect its financial results in future periods.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013.


ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On May 8, 2013, the Partnership announced that it had identified a historical classification error in its initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation was normal or unusual. The error resulted in the overstatement of Income before taxes of $8.8 million for the period ended December 31, 2011.

Under the composite method of depreciation, no gain or loss is recognized on normal retirements of composite assets. Instead the net book value after salvage of a retired asset reduces accumulated depreciation for the composite group. Abnormal or unusual retirements of composite assets would result in the recognition of a gain or loss. The error resulted in the Partnership's application of its qualitative policy used to determine whether an asset retirement is normal or unusual. The asset retirement that was restated was originally classified as normal, thus reducing accumulated depreciation. Management identified that the Partnership had failed to consider whether the specific asset had a substantial net book value and/or if the retirement caused a deviation from the estimated composite depreciation survivor curve as well as other minor qualitative issues.

The restatement amount of $8.8 million was recorded in Loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, net in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filing to correct the previous error.

As disclosed in prior filings, the Partnership had determined that it was preferable to change from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation with the change effective January 1, 2013. The Partnership believes that pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, changing from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle, which should be accounted for prospectively. The change to the unit method of depreciation eliminates the qualitative judgment needed to determine whether an asset retirement is normal or unusual, as the net book value of all retirements will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

(1)The cross-currency swaps became ineffective and were de-designated in August 2009.
(2)The May 2011 interest rate swaps were de-designated in March 2013. The Combination Swaps were de-designated in July 2013.

In addition to the $3.73.3 million gain recognized in income on the ineffective portion of derivatives and $0.16.6 million gain recognized in income on the ineffective portion of derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges (as noted in the tables above), $7.8 million of expense related to the write off of OCI balances on our May 2011 swaps and $4.17.9 million of expense representing the amortization of amounts in AOCI for the swaps was recorded during the trailing twelve months ended September 29, 2013 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net effect of these amounts resulted in a charge to earnings for the trailing twelve month period of $8.1 million recorded in “Net effect of swaps.”
For the twelve-month period ending SeptemberMarch 30, 2012, in addition to the $4.8 million gain recognized in income on the ineffective portion of derivatives designated as derivatives and $5.6 million of gain recognized in income on the ineffective portion of derivatives not designated as derivatives noted in the tables above, $0.1 million of income representing the amortization of amounts in AOCI for the swaps and a $0.4 million foreign currency gain in the twelve month period related to the U.S. dollar denominated Canadian term loan was recorded during the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 20122014 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net effect of these amounts resulted in a benefit to earnings for the trailing twelve month period of $10.92.0 million recorded in “Net effect of swaps.”
For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2013, in addition to the $435 thousand gain recognized in income on the ineffective portion of designated derivatives and $1.5 million of loss recognized in income on the derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges as noted in the tables above, $7.8 million of expense related to the write off of OCI balances on our May 2011 swaps and $192 thousand of income representing the amortization of amounts in AOCI for the swaps was recorded during the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2013 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net effect of these amounts resulted in expense for the trailing twelve month period of $8.7 million recorded in “Net effect of swaps.”
 
(7) Fair Value Measurements:
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) relating to fair value measurements emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions (inputs) that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable, and valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the FASB’s ASC establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair values. The hierarchy is associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process—quoted prices are the most reliable valuation inputs, whereas model values that include inputs based on unobservable data are the least reliable. Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.


16


The three broad levels of inputs defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

13


A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, December 31, 2012,2013, and September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 on a recurring basis:

Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are determined using significant inputs, including the LIBOR forward curves, that are considered Level 2 observable market inputs. In addition, the Partnership considered the effect of its credit and non-performance risk on the fair values provided, and recognized an adjustment decreasing the net derivative liability by approximately $0.90.6 million as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 or September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, except for as described below.
At the end of the third quarter in 2012, the Partnership concluded based on operating results, as well as updated forecasts, and changes in market conditions, that a review of the carrying value of long-lived assets at Wildwater Kingdom was warranted. After performing its review, the Partnership determined that a portion of the park's fixed assets were impaired. Based on Level 3 unobservable valuation assumptions and other market inputs, the assets were marked to a fair value of $19.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $25.0 million during the quarter..
The fair value of term debt at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 was approximately $627.6618.9 million based on borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership on long-term debt with similar terms and average maturities. The fair value of the Partnership's notes at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 was approximately $922.0938.6 million based on public trading levels as of that date. The fair value of the term debt was based on Level 2 inputs and the notes were based on Level 1 inputs.

(9) Income and Partnership Taxes:
Under the applicable accounting rules, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable by the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries for the current year and for the impact of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which represent future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. The income tax provision (benefit) for interim periods is determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to the quarterly income (loss) of the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries. In addition to income taxes on its corporate subsidiaries, the Partnership pays a publicly traded partnership tax (PTP tax) on partnership-level gross income (net revenues less cost of food, merchandise and games). As such, the Partnership’s total provision (benefit) for taxes includes amounts for both the PTP tax and for income taxes on its corporate subsidiaries.
As of the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 the Partnership has recorded $1.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and/or penalties related to state and local tax filing positions. The Partnership recognizes interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. The Partnership does not anticipate that the balance of the unrecognized tax benefit will change significantly over the next 12 months.

(10) Contingencies:

The Partnership is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, none of these matters is expected to have a material effect in the aggregate on the Partnership's financial statements.

(11) Restatement:

The Partnership has made the following correction relating to its use of the composite depreciation method.

This correction, which impacts the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 and the Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for the three-, nine-, and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2012, reflects a subsequent determination that a disposition from the Partnership's composite group of assets was considered to be unusual. In certain situations under the composite method, disposals are considered unusual and, accordingly, losses are not included in the composite depreciation pool but are rather charged immediately to expense. In 2013, the Partnership's initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation in 2011 was normal, was reviewed in connection with a response to an SEC comment letter. The Partnership ultimately concluded that such disposition was unusual and that an $8.8 millioncharge should be reflected in the 2011 financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview:

We generate our revenues primarily from sales of (1) admission to our parks, (2) food, merchandise and games inside our parks, and (3) hotel rooms, food and other attractions outside our parks. Our principal costs and expenses, which include salaries and wages, advertising, maintenance, operating supplies, utilities and insurance, are relatively fixed and do not vary significantly with attendance.

Each of our properties is overseen by a park general manager and operates autonomously. Management reviews operating results, evaluates performance and makes operating decisions, including allocating resources on a property-by-property basis.

Along with attendance and guest per capita statistics, discrete financial information and operating results are prepared at the individual park level for use by the CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), as well as by the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President - Operations, and the park general managers.

Critical Accounting Policies:
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions during the normal course of business that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Management believes that judgment and estimates related to the following critical accounting policies could materially affect our consolidated financial statements:
  
Property and Equipment
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Self-Insurance Reserves
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Revenue Recognition

Income Taxes
In the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014, there were no changes in the above critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20122013 except as noted below..
Change in Depreciation Method
Effective January 1, 2013, we changed our method of depreciation for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the groups of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition from the composite method to the unit method.
Historically, we had used the composite depreciation method for land improvements, buildings, rides and equipment for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the group of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition. The unit method was only used for all individual assets purchased. Under the composite depreciation method, assets with similar estimated lives are grouped together and the several pools of assets are depreciated on an aggregate basis. No gain or loss is recognized on normal retirements of composite assets. Instead, the net book value of a retired asset reduces accumulated depreciation for the composite group. Unusual retirements of composite assets could result in the recognition of a gain or loss. Under the unit method of depreciation, individual assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, with gains and losses on all asset retirements recognized currently in income.
In order to improve comparability and enhance the level of precision associated with allocating historical cost, we had determined that it was preferable to change from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation for all assets. We believe that pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, changing from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle, which should be

37


accounted for prospectively. This prospective application will result in the discontinuance of the composite method of depreciation for all prior acquisitions with the existing net book value of each composite pool allocated to the remaining individual assets (units) in that pool with each unit assigned an appropriate remaining useful life on an individual unit basis. Assigning a useful life to each unit in the various composite pools had an insignificant effect on the weighted average useful lives of all assets that were previously accounted for under the composite method.
The change in depreciation method had an immaterial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 29, 2013.Future asset retirements could have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the periods such items occur.

Adjusted EBITDA:
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items, and adjustments as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) is a meaningful measure of park-level operating profitability because we use it for measuring returns on capital investments, evaluating potential acquisitions, determining awards under incentive compensation plans, and calculating compliance with certain loan covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the discussion of results of operations that follows as a supplemental measure of our operating results and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Results of Operations:

RestatementFirst Quarter -

We have madeOperating results for the first quarter historically include less than 5% of our full-year revenues and attendance. The results include normal off-season operating, maintenance and administrative expenses at our ten seasonal amusement parks and three outdoor water parks, as well as daily operations at Knott's Berry Farm, which is open year-round, and Castaway Bay, which is generally open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day plus a correction relating to our uselimited daily schedule for the balance of the composite depreciation method.year. The correction, which impacts the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 and the Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for the three-, nine-, and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2012, reflects a subsequent determination that a disposition from our composite group of assets was considered to be unusual. In certain situations under the composite method, disposals are considered unusual and, accordingly, losses are not included in the composite depreciation pool but are rather charged immediately to expense. In 2013, our initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation in 2011 was normal was reviewed in connection with a response to an SEC comment letter. We ultimately concluded that such disposition was unusual and that an $8.8 millioncharge should have been reflected in the 2011 financial statements.

Nine months ended September 29, 2013

The fiscal nine-month period ended September 29, 2013, consisted of a 39-week period andcurrent quarter included a total of 1,93694 operating days compared with 39 weeks and 2,178to 117 operating days forduring the fiscal nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.first quarter of 2013. The differencedecrease in operating days is primarilywas due to the sale of two non-corea water parks, as well aspark during 2013 and the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate for 2013.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 increased $56.3 million to $995.5 million from $939.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in revenues reflects a 6%, or $2.46, increase in average in-park guest per capita spending during the first nine months of the year when compared with the first nine months of 2012. In-park guest per capita spending represents the average amount spent per attendee to gain admission to a park plus all amounts spent while inside the park gates. The increase in per capita spending reflects a 5% increaseshift in the admissions per capEaster and a 6% increase in pure in-park spending, driven largely by improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued success of our premium benefit offerings. Additionally, for the nine-month period, out-of-park revenues increased 7%, or $7.3 million. Out-of-park revenues include the sale of hotel rooms, food, merchandise, and other complementary activities located outside of the park gates, as well as transaction fees from on-line product sales. The increase in out-of-park revenues was primarily driven by the strong performance of our resort properties, which drove higher average daily room rates while maintaining or growing occupancy rates. The increase in overall net revenues includes attendance that was essentially comparable through the first nine months of 2013 when compared with the same period a year ago. The variance in attendance is entirely attributable to the sale of two non-core water parks. Excluding the sale of the water parks, attendance increased 1%, or 195,000 visits on a comparable park basis.

Revenues for the first nine months of the year also reflect the negative impact of exchange rates and the strengthening U.S. dollar on our Canadian operations ($3.6 million) during the period.

For the nine-month period in 2013, operating costs and expenses increased 3%, or $15.6 million, to $595.8 million from $580.2 million for the same period in 2012, the net result of a $7.5 million increase in operating expenses and a $10.0 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A"). These cost increases were offset slightly by a 2%, or $1.9 million decrease in cost of goods sold during the period. The $7.5 million increase in operating expenses was due to increases of approximately $4.3 million in employee costs, $3.2 million in operating supplies and $1.5 million in maintenance materials, offset slightly by a decrease of $2.7 million in insurance expense. The increase in employee costs was primarily due to increased costs of benefits. Operating supplies increased due to premium benefit offerings and improved guest services. The $2.7 million decrease in insurance expense was due to a reduction in insurance settlements and accruals. The $10.0 million increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to additional marketing efforts and agency advertising costs, and increased full-time employee costs, largely related to performance incentives and an increase in staffing levels.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the period decreased $3.9 million due to several significant assets being fully depreciated at the end of 2012. For the nine-month period of 2013, the $8.7 million gain on sale of other assets relates to the sale of one of our non-core water parks. For the period, loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets totaled $2.3 million for the retirement of assets at several of our properties. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the period ended September 30, 2012 totaled $24.2 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom, offset slightly by gains on other retirements. After depreciation, amortization, gain on sale of other assets, loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, and all other non-cash costs, operating income for the period increased $75.3 million to $297.9 million in the first nine months of 2013 from operating income of $222.6 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2013 was $77.2 million, a decrease of $6.8 millionSpring Break holidays from the first nine months of 2012. The decreasequarter in interest expense was due2013 to the settlement of our Canadian cross-currency swapssecond quarter in the first quarter of 2012, the decrease in non-cash amortization expense resulting from the write-off of loan fees related to our prior credit agreement, and a decrease in revolver interest due to lower average borrowings and a lower effective interest rate from the March 2013 refinancing.

The net effect of our swaps resulted in a non-cash charge to earnings of $8.3 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared with a $1.3 million non-cash benefit to earnings in the first nine months of 2012. The difference reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI related to interest rate swaps, the write off of amounts in AOCI related to de-designated interest rate swaps, as well as gains from marking ineffective designated and de-designated swaps to market. During the current year-to-date period, we also recognized a $15.2 million net charge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency losses, which included a $14.4 million unrealized foreign currency loss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Additionally, due to our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees related to our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million charge to earnings in the current year-to-date period.

During the first nine months of 2013, a provision for taxes of $34.0 million was recorded to account for publicly traded partnership (“PTP”) taxes and the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries. During the same nine-month period in 2012, a $41.8 million provision for taxes was recorded. Actual cash taxes paid or payable are estimated to be between $14 and $17 million for the 2013 calendar year.

After interest expense and the benefit for taxes, net income for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 totaled $128.7 million, or $2.31 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with net income of $112.2 million, or $2.01 per diluted unit, for the same period a year ago.

For the nine-month period, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement), which we believe is a meaningful measure of our park-level operating results, increased to $405.2 million compared with $365.5 million for the fiscal nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. This increase was due to the growth in revenues produced in large part by the continued success of our premium benefit offerings, admissions sales and our food and beverage initiatives, offset slightly by an increase in employee related costs, advertising expenses, and operating supply costs related to targeted initiatives which enhance our guests' experiences at our parks. For additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, including how we define Adjusted EBITDA, why we believe it provides useful information, and for a reconciliation to net income, see page 38.

Third Quarter -

The fiscal three-month period ended September 29, 2013, consisted of a 13-week period and included a total of 1,019 operating days compared with 13 weeks and 1,177 operating days for the fiscal three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The difference in operating days is due to the sale of two non-core water parks, as well as the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate during 2013.2014.

For the quarter ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, net revenues increased 7%decreased 3%, or $38.6$1.3 million, to $592.1$40.5 million from $553.5$41.8 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012. This increase reflects a 7% increase in average in-park per capita spending and an 8%, or $4.4 million, increase in out-of park revenues, and attendance that2013. The decrease between periods was comparable with the prior year period. The increase in per capita spending was the result of higher admissions pricing, the successful expansion of our in-park premium benefit offerings, and improvements in our food and beverage programs. The increase in out-of-park revenues wasentirely due to the shift of the Easter and Spring Break holidays to the second quarter of 2014 from the first quarter of 2013. The impact of the calendar shift was partially offset by strong early season performance at Knott's Berry Farm. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, only three of our resort properties. Excluding14 properties were in operation. The other parks, including three of our larger parks, Cedar Point and Kings Island located in Ohio and Canada's Wonderland in Toronto, were in the sale our two non-core water parks, attendance increased 2%, or 207,000 visits on a comparable park basis.final stages of preparing to open for the 2014 operating season.

Operating costs and expenses for the quarter increased 4%, or $11.3$4.0 million to $275.0$106.7 million from $263.7$102.7 million in 2013 and were in line with expectations. Operating results for the thirdfirst quarter of 2012, the net result ofinclude normal off-season operating, maintenance and administrative expenses at our seasonal amusement and water parks, and daily operations at Knott’s Berry Farm and Castaway Bay. The increase in first-quarter costs reflects a $1.5 million decrease in cost of goods sold, a $7.0$3.7 million increase in operating expenses and a $5.7 millionslight increase in SG&A costs.

The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarilyfood, merchandise and games revenues for the result of successful cost-savings initiatives in food and beverage.period were flat compared to a year ago. The $7.0$3.7 million increase in operating expenses was due primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in employee related costs, a $1.6 million increase in operating supplies, and a $1.5 million increasebudgeted increases in maintenance expense. The increaseexpense as we continue to invest in employee related costs was primarily due to higher staffing levels, salary increases, and increases in benefit costs. Operating supplies increased due to premium benefit offerings and improved guest services. The $5.7 million increase in SG&A costs was due to increases in employee-related costs and agency advertising costs. The increase in SG&A employee-related expenses was due to an increase in performance incentive awards due to strong 2013 operating results to date,the infrastructure of our parks, as well as an increase in staffing levels across the company. Advertisingmaintenance labor and other employee related expenses. Additionally, utility costs increased as a resultdue to the harsh winter experienced at several of additional marketing efforts in the period, including our Customer Relationship Management platform.parks.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter decreased $2.7$0.5 million primarily due to several significant assets reaching the endshifting of their depreciable lives at the end of 2012. For the third quarter of 2013, the gain on sale of other assets was $8.7 million, reflecting the gain on the sale of one of our non-core water parks.operating calendar. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the current period was $1.6$1.0 million compared to $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2013, reflecting losses on the retirement of assets across allseveral of our parks. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaled $25.0 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom. After depreciation, amortization, gain on sale of other assets, loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, and all other non-cash costs, operating incomeloss in the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 increased $62.1$5.3 million to $266.7$71.6 million from an operating incomeloss of $204.6$66.3 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012.2013.

Interest expense for the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 was $25.5$24.7 million, representing a $1.3$1.0 million decrease from the interest expense for the thirdfirst quarter of 2012. As mentioned in the nine-month discussion above, interest2013. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a reduction in average revolver balance and lower average rates on the revolver, as well as a reduction in non-cash deferred loan fee amortization resulting from the write-off of fees related to our prior credit agreement.

During the 2013 third2014 first quarter, the net effect of our swaps resulted in a $1.4$0.4 million non-cash charge to earnings, compared to a non-cash benefitcharge to earnings of $0.2$9.2 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012.2013. The net effect of swaps reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI related to the swaps and ineffective fair value movements in our non-designated derivative portfolio.portfolio, along with the write off of amounts in AOCI related to de-designated interest rate swaps. During the 2013 third2014 first quarter, we also recognized a $8.6$17.2 million net benefitcharge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency gains,losses, which included a $8.5$16.3 million unrealized foreign currency gainloss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Due to our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees related to our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million charge to earnings in the first quarter of 2013.

During the quarter, a provisionbenefit for taxes of $58.0$30.3 million was recorded to account for PTP taxes and the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries, compared to a provisionbenefit for taxes of $51.9$35.7 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in tax benefit recorded relates to the combination of a decrease in the pre-tax net loss for the period and a decrease in the effective tax rate.

After interest expense and the provisionbenefit for taxes, net incomeloss for the quarter totaled $190.4$83.5 million, or $3.41$1.51 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with a net incomeloss of $141.0$109.1 million, or $2.52$1.95 per diluted unit, for the thirdfirst quarter a year ago.

For the current quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased to $318.4 million from $292.3 million for the fiscal third quarter of 2012. The $26.1 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely attributable to incremental revenues resulting primarily from higher average guest per capita spending, as well as increases in out-of-park revenues in the quarter. These revenue increases were somewhat offset by higher costs associated with improving guest services and expanding our marketing efforts.

Twelve Months Ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 -

The fiscal twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, consisted of a 52-week period and 2,1402,118 operating days, compared with 53 weeks and 2,4162,403 operating days for the fiscal twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. The difference in operating days was due primarily to the sale of two non-core water parks, the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate during 2013, and the extra weekcalendar shift of operationsthe Easter and Spring Break holidays in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2012.2014 described above.

The 4%5% increase in revenues for the twelve-month period was driven by a 7%an increase in average in-park guest per capita spending, the result of a stronger admissions per cap and improved pure in-park spending. The increase in pure in-park spending was in large part the result of improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued success of our premium benefit offerings. Attendance for the period decreased between

yearsprimarily due to the extra week of operations in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012, as well as the sale of two non-core water parks during the current yeartwelve-month period. Excluding the sale of the two water parks, attendance would have increased . Out-of-park revenues increased $4.6$6.4 million primarily due to an increase in processing fees as partthe strong performance of our expansion of ticketing options. The increase in net revenues for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013 also reflects the negative impact of currency exchangeresort properties, which drove higher average daily room rates and the weakening Canadian dollar on our Canadian operations (approximately $3.2 million) during the period.occupancy rates.

Operating costs and expenses decreased $1.6increased $26.4 million, or less than 1%4%, to $700.3$720.5 million, in large part due to one less week of operations infrom $694.1 million for the current twelve-month period and were in line with expectations.ended March 31, 2013. The decreaseincrease in costs and expenses reflects a $2.9$19.3 million increase in operating expenses and a $11.4 million increase in SG&A costs, somewhat offset by a decrease in cost of goods sold of $4.3 million. The decrease of 4% in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by food and a $1.2 million decrease in operating expenses, due primarily to the one less week in the period. These year-over-year cost decreases were partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in SG&A costs.beverage efficiency initiatives. The increase in operating costs was due to higher normal operating and maintenance expense, enhancements to park infrastructure, and increased employment related costs including

performance bonuses. SG&A costs reflects a $2.8 million increase in employment-relatedincreased due to full-time labor and benefit costs, related to higher staffing levels andincluding incentive compensation, plans tied to company performance and a $3.0 million increase in advertising costs related to the transition to a new advertising agency somewhat offset byand consumer relationship management database development costs. Exchange rates had a $2.6 decrease in professional and administrative costs, the result of reductions in litigation expenses and consulting fees in the period. The overall decrease infavorable impact ($4.6 million) on costs and expenses also reflects the impact of exchange rates onat our Canadian operations ($1.0 million) during the period.

For the twelve-month period ending September 29, 2013,ended March 30, 2014, the gain on sale of other assets was $15.4$8.7 million reflectingdue to the gainsale of one non-core water park during 2013. Gain on sale of other assets totaled $6.6 million for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2013, reflecting the sale of two non-core water parksassets during the period. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the period was $8.4$2.9 million, due to the removal of a ride to enhance a section of one of our parks, as well asasset retirements of assets across all of our properties. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets during the period ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 totaled $34.5$30.8 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom and an $8.8 million charge for the retirementasset retirements across all of an asset which is further described in Note 11 to the financial statements.our properties.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the period decreased $4.8$5.0 million compared with the prior period due primarily to several significant assets being fully depreciated at the end of 2012.2012 and the later opening of parks for the 2014 operating season when compared to 2013. After depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges and all other non-cash costs, operating income for the current period increased $88.5$59.8 million to $309.0$296.5 million from $220.5$236.7 million.

Interest expense for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 decreased $12.5$7.6 million to $103.9$102.0 million, from $116.4$109.6 million for the same twelve-month period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense reflects a decrease in revolver interest in the period due to lower borrowings, and a lower average cost resulting from the March 2013 refinancing and a decrease in non-cash amortization expense resulting from the write-off of loan fees related to our prior credit agreement, and the impact of the settlement of our Canadian cross-currency swaps in the first quarter of 2012.agreement.

During the current twelve-month period, the net effect of our interest rate swaps was recorded as a benefit to earnings of $2.0 million compared to a charge to earnings of $8.1 million compared to a benefit to earnings of $10.9$8.7 million in the prior twelve-month period. The difference reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI, and write-off of amounts related to de-designated swaps, which were offset by gains from marking the ineffective and de-designated swaps to market in the current period. During the current period, we also recognized a $20.2$37.2 million charge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency losses, which included a $19.4$35.5 million unrealized foreign currency loss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Due toDuring the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, as a result of our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees that were paid as part of our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million non-cash charge to earnings recorded in "Loss on early debt extinguishment" on the consolidated statement of operations.

A provision for taxes of $24.0$25.7 million was recorded in the period for the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries and PTP taxes. This compares with a provision for taxes of $27.9$17.6 million in twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. The increase in tax provision recorded relates to the combination of an increase in pre-tax net income for the period, offset somewhat by a decrease in the effective tax rate.

After interest expense and provision for taxes, net income for the period totaled $118.4$133.8 million, or $2.12$2.39 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with net income of $105.9$58.1 million, or $1.89$1.04 per diluted unit, a year ago.

As discussed above, the current trailing-twelve-month results include one less week of operations due to the timing of the third quarter fiscal close. Comparing the twelve-month periods for both 2013 and 2012 onWe believe Adjusted EBITDA is a comparable 52-week basis, net revenues would be up approximately $55.1 million, or 5%, on increases in both average in-park guest per capita spending and out-of-park revenues, partially offset by a slight decline in attendance. The increase in average in-park guest per capita spending is primarily due to a higher admissions per cap and improved pure in-park spending, driven largely by improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued successmeaningful measure of our premium benefit offerings. Out-of-park revenues would have increased $6.3 million primarily due to an increase in transaction fees from on-line ticket sales. Attendance for the comparable period would have decreased 351,000 visits, primarily due to soft attendance during the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.

On a comparable 52-week basis, operating costs and expenses would have increased approximately $9.1 million, the net result of a $1.9 million decrease in cost of goods sold, a $6.2 million increase in operating expenses and a $4.8 million increase in SG&A costs. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in employment-related expenses of $3.3 million, a $3.9 million increase in operating supply costs, and a $1.6 million increase in utility costs. Somewhat offsetting these operating-expense increases were decreases in maintenance expenses of $3.5 million and insurance expenses of $1.6 million. The increase in employment-related costs was largely due to higher benefit costs and increased seasonal labor hours resulting from expanded operating hours at several parks, the introduction ofresults (for additional attractions and enhanced guest services at our parks. Operating supplies increased due largely to the introduction of new extra-charge attractions and incremental expenses related to our expanded premium benefit offerings. Utility costs increased primarily due to rate increases and the addition of new rides and attractions at the parks. The increase in SG&A costs for the period reflects a $3.4 million increase in employment-related costs due to higher staffing levels and incentive compensation plans tied to company performance, and a $4.0 million increase in advertising costs related to the transition to a new advertising agency. Somewhat offsetting these SG&A cost increases was a $2.5 million decrease in professional and administrative costs primarily due to reductions in litigation expenses and consulting fees in the period.

For the twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013,March 30, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA increased $37.1$25.3 million, or 9%6%, to $430.7$420.7 million. On a same-week basis, Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-monthOver this same period, would have increased approximately $40.9 million, or 11%. On a same-week basis, our Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues) increased 19060 bps to 38.3%37.1% from 36.4%36.5% for the twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013,March 31, 2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the success of high-margin revenuesrevenue initiatives during the period, such as growth in our premium guest benefit offerings and our admission pricing, combined with another year of growth in our season pass base and a continued focus on controlling operating costs.

October 2013 -

Based on preliminary results, net revenues through November 3, 2013 were approximately $1,104 million, up 6%, or $65 million, compared with $1,039 million forcosts at the same period last year. The increase was the result of an approximate 6%, or $2.31, increase in average in-park guest per capita spending to a record $44.33, and an approximate 7%, or $8 million increase, in out-of-park revenues to $117 million. Also contributing to revenue growth was an increase in attendance of 100,000 visits, compared with last year. Excluding the sale of two water parks, attendance was up 2%, or 334,000 visits, to a record 22.7 million visits on a comparable park basis.level.

In July 2010, we issued $405As of March 30, 2014, our debt consisted of the following:
$405 million of 9.125% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2018, yielding 9.375% due to the notes being issued at a discount in a private placement, including $5.6 million of Original Issue Discount (OID) to yield 9.375%. The $405 million senior unsecured notes require semi-annual interest payments in February and August, with the principal due in full on August 1, 2018.July 2010. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 1, 2014 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to August 1, 2013, up to 35% of theThe notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 109.125%.pay interest semi-annually in February and August.
In February 2011, we amended our 2010 Credit Agreement (as so amended, the "Amended 2010 Credit Agreement") to provide a $1,175 million senior secured term loan facility with interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 bps along with a LIBOR floor of 100 bps. The amendment extended the maturity date of the term loan portion of the credit facilities to December 2018.
The Amended 2010 Credit Agreement also included a $260 million revolving credit facility. Under the agreement, the Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility has a limit of $15 million. U.S. denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps (with no LIBOR floor). Canadian denominated loans made under the Canadian portion of the facility also bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in July of 2015, also provided for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit.

In March 2013, we issued $500 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2021, in a private placement, with no OID. Our $500 million of senior unsecured notes pay interest semi-annually in March and September, with the principal due in full on March 15, 2021.issued at par. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to March 15, 2016,, up to 35% of the notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 105.25%. These notes pay interest semi-annually in March and September.

Concurrently with this offering, we entered into a new $885 million credit agreement (the "2013 Credit Agreement"), which included a $630 million seniorSenior secured term loan facility anddebt of $618.9 million, maturing in March 2020 under our 2013 Credit Agreement. The term debt bears interest at a$255 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The terms of the senior secured term loan facility include a maturity date of March 15, 2020 and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 bps with a LIBOR floor of 75 bps. The term loan amortizes at $6.3$6.3 million annually. The net proceeds fromDue to a prepayment made during 2013, we only have current maturities totaling $1.5 million as of March 30, 2014.

Under the 2013 Credit Agreement, were used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Credit Agreement. The facilities provided under the 2013 Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.

Terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement include a revolving credit facility of a combined $255 million. The Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility has a limitsub-limit of $15 million.$15 million. U.S. denominated and Canadian denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2018 and also provides for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit. The 2013 Credit Agreement requires the Partnership tothat we pay a commitment fee of 5038 bps per annum on the unused portion of the credit facilities.
At the end of the quarter, we had a total of $628.4$618.9 million of variable-rate term debt (before giving consideration to fixed-rate interest rate swaps), $901.6$902.0 million of fixed-rate debt (including OID), no$55.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand of $183.5$8.9 million. After letters of credit, which totaled $16.4$16.3 million at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, we had $238.6$183.7 million of available borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
In order to lock in fixed interest costs on a portion of our domestic term debt, in September 2010 we
We have entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("September 2010 swaps") tointerest rate swaps that effectively convert a totalfix all of $600 million ofour variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginningpayments. As of March 30, 2014, we have $800 million of interest rate swaps in October 2011. As a result of the February 2011 amendment to the 2010 Credit Agreement, the LIBOR floor on the term loan portion of its credit facilities decreased to 100 bps from 150 bps, causing a mismatch in critical terms of the September 2010 swaps and the underlying debt. Because of the mismatch of critical terms, we determined the September 2010 swaps, which were originally designated as cash flow hedges, were no longer highly effective, resulting in the de-designation of the swaps as of the end of February 2011. As a result of this ineffectiveness, gains of $7.2 million recorded in AOCI through the date of de-designation are being amortized through December 2015.
In March 2011, we entered into several additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("March 2011 swaps") that, when combined with the September 2010 swaps, effectively converted $600 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. The September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps were jointly designated as cash flow hedges, maturing in December 2015 and had fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.46%. For the period that the September 2010 swaps were de-designated, their fair value decreased by $3.3 million, the offset of which was recognized as a direct charge to earnings and

recorded to “Net effect of swaps” on the consolidated statement of operations along with the regular amortization of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” balances related to these swaps. No other ineffectiveness related to these swaps was recorded in any period presented.
In May 2011, we entered into four additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("May 2011 swaps")place that effectively converted another $200 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. These swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, mature in December 2015 and fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.54%.
As a result of the 2013 Credit Agreement, the previously described swaps were de-designated as the spreads of the 2013 Credit Agreement decreased to 75 bps from 100 bps in the Amended 2010 Credit Agreement. The May 2011 swaps remain de-designated as the amount of variable rate debt decreased to $630 million, and accordingly, the May 2011 swaps are now over hedged. On March 4, 2013, we entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("March 2013 swaps") that were not designated as a cash flow hedge on that date. On March 6, 2013, the March 2013 swaps were combined with the September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps (together referred to as the "Combination Swaps"), and designated as cash flow hedges, effectively converting $600 million ofconvert variable-rate debt to fixed rates. The Combination Swaps were designated as cash flow hedges,These swaps, which mature in December 2015 and fix LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.33%.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Combination Swaps were de-designated as the hedge effectiveness testing indicated that these swaps would be ineffective throughout the remaining periods until maturity. This de-designation had no effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as previous amounts recorded in AOCI had already been accounted for on March 6, 2013.
During the thirdand fourth quarter of 2013, the Partnershipwe entered into threefour forward-starting interest rate swap agreements ("2013 forwards") that will effectively convert $400$500 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in December of 2015.

The 2013 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain specified financial ratios, which if breached for any reason and not cured, could result in an event of default under the agreement. The most critical of these ratios is the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which is measured on a trailing-twelve-month quarterly basis. At the end of the thirdfirst quarter of 2013,2014, this ratio was set at 6.25x consolidated total debt (excluding the revolving debt)-to-consolidated EBITDA. The ratio will remain at that level through the end of the first quarter in 2014 and will decrease by 0.25x each second quarter beginning in the second quarter of 2014.2014 until it reaches 5.25x. Based on our trailing-twelve-month results ending September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 3.573.63x, providing $184.1175.2 million of EBITDA cushion on the ratio at the end of the thirdfirst quarter. We were in compliance with all other covenants under the 2013 Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.

The 2013 Credit Agreement allows restricted payments of up to $60 million annually so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. Additional restricted payments are allowed to be made based on an excess-cash-flow formula, should our pro-forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio be less than or equal to 5.0x, measured on a trailing-twelve-month quarterly basis.

In accordance with these debt provisions, on August 8, 2013,February 26, 2014, we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.625$0.70 per limited partner unit, which was paid on September 16, 2013,March 25, 2014, and on November 7, 2013May 8, 2014 we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.70 per limited partner unit, payable DecemberJune 16, 2013.2014.
Existing credit facilities and cash flows from operations are expected to be sufficient to meet working capital needs, debt service, partnership distributions and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:
We had $16.4$16.3 million in letters of credit, which are primarily in place to backstop insurance arrangements, outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014. We have no other significant off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this report (including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section) that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements as to our expectations, beliefs and strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors, including those listed under Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, could adversely affect our future financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates, and to a lesser extent on currency exchange rates on our operations in Canada and, from time to time, on imported rides and equipment. The objective of our financial risk management is to reduce the potential negative impact of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to acceptable levels. We do not acquire market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
We manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed-rate long-term debt, interest rate swaps that fix a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt, and variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Translation exposures with regard to our Canadian operations are not hedged.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is reported as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify as effective hedging activities are reported as “Net effect of swaps” in the consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, the “Other comprehensive income (loss)” related to interest rate swaps that become ineffective is amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate swap, and reported as a component of “Net effect of swaps” in the consolidated statement of operations.

As of September 29, 2013,March 30, 2014, we had $901.6$902.0 million of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes and $628.4$618.9 million of variable-rate term debt. After considering the impact of interest rate swap agreements, virtually all of our outstanding long-term debt represents fixed-rate debt. Assuming an average balance on our revolving credit borrowings of approximately $31$27 million, a hypothetical 100 bps

increase in 30-day LIBOR on our variable-rate debt (not considering the impact of our interest rate swaps) would lead to an increase of approximately $3.8 million in annual cash interest costs.
Assuming a hypothetical 100 bps increase in 30-day LIBOR, the amount of net cash interest paid on our variable-rate debt, afterderivative portfolio would decrease by $4.6 million over the fixed-rate swap agreements, would lead to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in annual cash interest costs.next year.
A uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would result in a $3.7$4.2 million decrease in annual operating income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - 
The Partnership maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, the Partnership's management, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures under supervision of management, and with the participation of the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.


(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting -
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
On May 14, 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued an updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Originally issued in 1992 (1992 Framework), the framework helps organizations design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. The 1992 Framework remains available during the transition period, which extends to December 15, 2014, after which time COSO will consider it as superseded by the 2013 Framework. As of March 30, 2014, the Partnership continues to utilize the 1992 Framework during the transition to the 2013 Framework by the end of 2014.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Jacob T. Falfas vs. Cedar Fair, L.P.

On July 23, 2010, Jacob T. (Jack) Falfas, the former Chief Operating Officer, filed a demand for private arbitration as provided by his employment agreement.  In that demand, Mr. Falfas disputed the Partnership's position that he had resigned in June 2010, alleging instead that his employment with the Partnership was terminated without cause.  That dispute went to private arbitration, and on February 28, 2011, an arbitration panel ruled 2-to-1 in favor of Mr. Falfas finding that he did not resign but was terminated without cause. Rather than fashioning a remedy consistent with the employment agreement, the panel ruled that Mr. Falfas should be reinstated. The Partnership believed that the arbitrators exceeded their authority by creating a remedy not legally available to Mr. Falfas under his contract with Cedar Fair. On March 21, 2011, the Partnership filed an action  in Erie County Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 2011 CV 0217) seeking  to have the award modified or vacated.  On March 22, 2011, Mr. Falfas commenced a related action in the Erie County Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 2011 CV 0218) demanding enforcement of the arbitration ruling.  The two actions were combined into Case No. 2011 CV 0217, before Judge Roger E. Binette.  On February 22, 2012 the Erie County Common Pleas Court issued a ruling partially vacating the arbitration award and declaring that Mr. Falfas was not entitled to reinstatement of his employment.  The ruling also provided that in accord with paragraph 2 of the arbitration award Mr. Falfas was entitled to certain back pay and other benefits under his 2007 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement as if the employment relationship had not been severed.  In March of 2012 Mr. Falfas and the  Company both filed appeals of the Court's ruling with the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals in Toledo, Ohio.  On April 19, 2013, the Court of Appeals issued a ruling reversing the Erie County Common Pleas Court's order regarding the reinstatement of Mr. Falfas' employment and affirming the order regarding back pay and other benefits and remanding the case back to the Erie County

38


Common Pleas Court for further proceedings.  On June 3, 2013, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal and Memorandum in Support of Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme Court related to the April 19, 2013 Court of Appeals decision.  On July 2, 2013, Mr. Falfas filed a Memorandum in Opposition to Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme Court.  On September 25, 2013, the Supreme Court of Ohio accepted the appeal on Proposition of Law No. 1 related to the Supreme Court’s  holding in Masetta v. National Bronze & Aluminum Foundry Co. 159 Ohio St. 306 (1953), barring specific performance as a remedy for a personal services contract under Ohio law and its applicability to individual employment agreements.  The matter will now proceed on the merits and both sides will have the opportunity to fileBoth parties filed legal briefs with the court setting forth the basis of their legal arguments.  On April 9, 2014, the parties made oral arguments to the Court in support of their respective arguments.positions.  Upon the conclusion of the oral arguments the procedural stage of the case was closed and the case was submitted to the court for a final ruling.  The Partnership believes the liability recorded

48


as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 to be adequate and does not expect the arbitration ruling or the court order to materially affect its financial results in future periods.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013.


ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On May 8, 2013, the Partnership announced that it had identified a historical classification error in its initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation was normal or unusual. The error resulted in the overstatement of Income before taxes of $8.8 million for the period ended December 31, 2011.

Under the composite method of depreciation, no gain or loss is recognized on normal retirements of composite assets. Instead the net book value after salvage of a retired asset reduces accumulated depreciation for the composite group. Abnormal or unusual retirements of composite assets would result in the recognition of a gain or loss. The error resulted in the Partnership's application of its qualitative policy used to determine whether an asset retirement is normal or unusual. The asset retirement that was restated was originally classified as normal, thus reducing accumulated depreciation. Management identified that the Partnership had failed to consider whether the specific asset had a substantial net book value and/or if the retirement caused a deviation from the estimated composite depreciation survivor curve as well as other minor qualitative issues.

The restatement amount of $8.8 million was recorded in Loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, net in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filing to correct the previous error.

As disclosed in prior filings, the Partnership had determined that it was preferable to change from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation with the change effective January 1, 2013. The Partnership believes that pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, changing from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle, which should be accounted for prospectively. The change to the unit method of depreciation eliminates the qualitative judgment needed to determine whether an asset retirement is normal or unusual, as the net book value of all retirements will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The net effect of these amounts resulted in expense for the trailing twelve month period of $8.7 million recorded in “Net effect of swaps.”
 
(7) Fair Value Measurements:
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) relating to fair value measurements emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions (inputs) that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable, and valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the FASB’s ASC establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair values. The hierarchy is associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process—quoted prices are the most reliable valuation inputs, whereas model values that include inputs based on unobservable data are the least reliable. Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Table of Contents

The three broad levels of inputs defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, December 31, 2012,2013, and September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 on a recurring basis:

Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are determined using significant inputs, including the LIBOR forward curves, that are considered Level 2 observable market inputs. In addition, the Partnership considered the effect of its credit and non-performance risk on the fair values provided, and recognized an adjustment decreasing the net derivative liability by approximately $0.90.6 million as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 or September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, except for as described below.
At the end of the third quarter in 2012, the Partnership concluded based on operating results, as well as updated forecasts, and changes in market conditions, that a review of the carrying value of long-lived assets at Wildwater Kingdom was warranted. After performing its review, the Partnership determined that a portion of the park's fixed assets were impaired. Based on Level 3 unobservable valuation assumptions and other market inputs, the assets were marked to a fair value of $19.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $25.0 million during the quarter..
The fair value of term debt at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 was approximately $627.6618.9 million based on borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership on long-term debt with similar terms and average maturities. The fair value of the Partnership's notes at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 was approximately $922.0938.6 million based on public trading levels as of that date. The fair value of the term debt was based on Level 2 inputs and the notes were based on Level 1 inputs.

(9) Income and Partnership Taxes:
Under the applicable accounting rules, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable by the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries for the current year and for the impact of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which represent future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. The income tax provision (benefit) for interim periods is determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to the quarterly income (loss) of the Partnership’s corporate subsidiaries. In addition to income taxes on its corporate subsidiaries, the Partnership pays a publicly traded partnership tax (PTP tax) on partnership-level gross income (net revenues less cost of food, merchandise and games). As such, the Partnership’s total provision (benefit) for taxes includes amounts for both the PTP tax and for income taxes on its corporate subsidiaries.
As of the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 the Partnership has recorded $1.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and/or penalties related to state and local tax filing positions. The Partnership recognizes interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. The Partnership does not anticipate that the balance of the unrecognized tax benefit will change significantly over the next 12 months.

(10) Contingencies:

The Partnership is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, none of these matters is expected to have a material effect in the aggregate on the Partnership's financial statements.

(11) Restatement:

The Partnership has made the following correction relating to its use of the composite depreciation method.

This correction, which impacts the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 and the Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for the three-, nine-, and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2012, reflects a subsequent determination that a disposition from the Partnership's composite group of assets was considered to be unusual. In certain situations under the composite method, disposals are considered unusual and, accordingly, losses are not included in the composite depreciation pool but are rather charged immediately to expense. In 2013, the Partnership's initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation in 2011 was normal, was reviewed in connection with a response to an SEC comment letter. The Partnership ultimately concluded that such disposition was unusual and that an $8.8 millioncharge should be reflected in the 2011 financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview:

We generate our revenues primarily from sales of (1) admission to our parks, (2) food, merchandise and games inside our parks, and (3) hotel rooms, food and other attractions outside our parks. Our principal costs and expenses, which include salaries and wages, advertising, maintenance, operating supplies, utilities and insurance, are relatively fixed and do not vary significantly with attendance.

Each of our properties is overseen by a park general manager and operates autonomously. Management reviews operating results, evaluates performance and makes operating decisions, including allocating resources on a property-by-property basis.

Along with attendance and guest per capita statistics, discrete financial information and operating results are prepared at the individual park level for use by the CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), as well as by the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President - Operations, and the park general managers.

Critical Accounting Policies:
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions during the normal course of business that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Management believes that judgment and estimates related to the following critical accounting policies could materially affect our consolidated financial statements:
  
Property and Equipment
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Self-Insurance Reserves
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Revenue Recognition

Income Taxes
In the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014, there were no changes in the above critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20122013 except as noted below..
Change in Depreciation Method
Effective January 1, 2013, we changed our method of depreciation for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the groups of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition from the composite method to the unit method.
Historically, we had used the composite depreciation method for land improvements, buildings, rides and equipment for the group of assets acquired as a whole in 1983, as well as for the group of like assets of each subsequent business acquisition. The unit method was only used for all individual assets purchased. Under the composite depreciation method, assets with similar estimated lives are grouped together and the several pools of assets are depreciated on an aggregate basis. No gain or loss is recognized on normal retirements of composite assets. Instead, the net book value of a retired asset reduces accumulated depreciation for the composite group. Unusual retirements of composite assets could result in the recognition of a gain or loss. Under the unit method of depreciation, individual assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, with gains and losses on all asset retirements recognized currently in income.
In order to improve comparability and enhance the level of precision associated with allocating historical cost, we had determined that it was preferable to change from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation for all assets. We believe that pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, changing from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle, which should be

37


accounted for prospectively. This prospective application will result in the discontinuance of the composite method of depreciation for all prior acquisitions with the existing net book value of each composite pool allocated to the remaining individual assets (units) in that pool with each unit assigned an appropriate remaining useful life on an individual unit basis. Assigning a useful life to each unit in the various composite pools had an insignificant effect on the weighted average useful lives of all assets that were previously accounted for under the composite method.
The change in depreciation method had an immaterial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 29, 2013.Future asset retirements could have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the periods such items occur.

Adjusted EBITDA:
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items, and adjustments as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) is a meaningful measure of park-level operating profitability because we use it for measuring returns on capital investments, evaluating potential acquisitions, determining awards under incentive compensation plans, and calculating compliance with certain loan covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the discussion of results of operations that follows as a supplemental measure of our operating results and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Results of Operations:

RestatementFirst Quarter -

We have madeOperating results for the first quarter historically include less than 5% of our full-year revenues and attendance. The results include normal off-season operating, maintenance and administrative expenses at our ten seasonal amusement parks and three outdoor water parks, as well as daily operations at Knott's Berry Farm, which is open year-round, and Castaway Bay, which is generally open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day plus a correction relating to our uselimited daily schedule for the balance of the composite depreciation method.year. The correction, which impacts the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 and the Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income for the three-, nine-, and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2012, reflects a subsequent determination that a disposition from our composite group of assets was considered to be unusual. In certain situations under the composite method, disposals are considered unusual and, accordingly, losses are not included in the composite depreciation pool but are rather charged immediately to expense. In 2013, our initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation in 2011 was normal was reviewed in connection with a response to an SEC comment letter. We ultimately concluded that such disposition was unusual and that an $8.8 millioncharge should have been reflected in the 2011 financial statements.

Nine months ended September 29, 2013

The fiscal nine-month period ended September 29, 2013, consisted of a 39-week period andcurrent quarter included a total of 1,93694 operating days compared with 39 weeks and 2,178to 117 operating days forduring the fiscal nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.first quarter of 2013. The differencedecrease in operating days is primarilywas due to the sale of two non-corea water parks, as well aspark during 2013 and the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate for 2013.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 increased $56.3 million to $995.5 million from $939.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in revenues reflects a 6%, or $2.46, increase in average in-park guest per capita spending during the first nine months of the year when compared with the first nine months of 2012. In-park guest per capita spending represents the average amount spent per attendee to gain admission to a park plus all amounts spent while inside the park gates. The increase in per capita spending reflects a 5% increaseshift in the admissions per capEaster and a 6% increase in pure in-park spending, driven largely by improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued success of our premium benefit offerings. Additionally, for the nine-month period, out-of-park revenues increased 7%, or $7.3 million. Out-of-park revenues include the sale of hotel rooms, food, merchandise, and other complementary activities located outside of the park gates, as well as transaction fees from on-line product sales. The increase in out-of-park revenues was primarily driven by the strong performance of our resort properties, which drove higher average daily room rates while maintaining or growing occupancy rates. The increase in overall net revenues includes attendance that was essentially comparable through the first nine months of 2013 when compared with the same period a year ago. The variance in attendance is entirely attributable to the sale of two non-core water parks. Excluding the sale of the water parks, attendance increased 1%, or 195,000 visits on a comparable park basis.

Revenues for the first nine months of the year also reflect the negative impact of exchange rates and the strengthening U.S. dollar on our Canadian operations ($3.6 million) during the period.

For the nine-month period in 2013, operating costs and expenses increased 3%, or $15.6 million, to $595.8 million from $580.2 million for the same period in 2012, the net result of a $7.5 million increase in operating expenses and a $10.0 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A"). These cost increases were offset slightly by a 2%, or $1.9 million decrease in cost of goods sold during the period. The $7.5 million increase in operating expenses was due to increases of approximately $4.3 million in employee costs, $3.2 million in operating supplies and $1.5 million in maintenance materials, offset slightly by a decrease of $2.7 million in insurance expense. The increase in employee costs was primarily due to increased costs of benefits. Operating supplies increased due to premium benefit offerings and improved guest services. The $2.7 million decrease in insurance expense was due to a reduction in insurance settlements and accruals. The $10.0 million increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to additional marketing efforts and agency advertising costs, and increased full-time employee costs, largely related to performance incentives and an increase in staffing levels.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the period decreased $3.9 million due to several significant assets being fully depreciated at the end of 2012. For the nine-month period of 2013, the $8.7 million gain on sale of other assets relates to the sale of one of our non-core water parks. For the period, loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets totaled $2.3 million for the retirement of assets at several of our properties. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the period ended September 30, 2012 totaled $24.2 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom, offset slightly by gains on other retirements. After depreciation, amortization, gain on sale of other assets, loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, and all other non-cash costs, operating income for the period increased $75.3 million to $297.9 million in the first nine months of 2013 from operating income of $222.6 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2013 was $77.2 million, a decrease of $6.8 millionSpring Break holidays from the first nine months of 2012. The decreasequarter in interest expense was due2013 to the settlement of our Canadian cross-currency swapssecond quarter in the first quarter of 2012, the decrease in non-cash amortization expense resulting from the write-off of loan fees related to our prior credit agreement, and a decrease in revolver interest due to lower average borrowings and a lower effective interest rate from the March 2013 refinancing.

The net effect of our swaps resulted in a non-cash charge to earnings of $8.3 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared with a $1.3 million non-cash benefit to earnings in the first nine months of 2012. The difference reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI related to interest rate swaps, the write off of amounts in AOCI related to de-designated interest rate swaps, as well as gains from marking ineffective designated and de-designated swaps to market. During the current year-to-date period, we also recognized a $15.2 million net charge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency losses, which included a $14.4 million unrealized foreign currency loss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Additionally, due to our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees related to our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million charge to earnings in the current year-to-date period.

During the first nine months of 2013, a provision for taxes of $34.0 million was recorded to account for publicly traded partnership (“PTP”) taxes and the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries. During the same nine-month period in 2012, a $41.8 million provision for taxes was recorded. Actual cash taxes paid or payable are estimated to be between $14 and $17 million for the 2013 calendar year.

After interest expense and the benefit for taxes, net income for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 totaled $128.7 million, or $2.31 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with net income of $112.2 million, or $2.01 per diluted unit, for the same period a year ago.

For the nine-month period, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement), which we believe is a meaningful measure of our park-level operating results, increased to $405.2 million compared with $365.5 million for the fiscal nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. This increase was due to the growth in revenues produced in large part by the continued success of our premium benefit offerings, admissions sales and our food and beverage initiatives, offset slightly by an increase in employee related costs, advertising expenses, and operating supply costs related to targeted initiatives which enhance our guests' experiences at our parks. For additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, including how we define Adjusted EBITDA, why we believe it provides useful information, and for a reconciliation to net income, see page 38.

Third Quarter -

The fiscal three-month period ended September 29, 2013, consisted of a 13-week period and included a total of 1,019 operating days compared with 13 weeks and 1,177 operating days for the fiscal three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The difference in operating days is due to the sale of two non-core water parks, as well as the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate during 2013.2014.

For the quarter ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, net revenues increased 7%decreased 3%, or $38.6$1.3 million, to $592.1$40.5 million from $553.5$41.8 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012. This increase reflects a 7% increase in average in-park per capita spending and an 8%, or $4.4 million, increase in out-of park revenues, and attendance that2013. The decrease between periods was comparable with the prior year period. The increase in per capita spending was the result of higher admissions pricing, the successful expansion of our in-park premium benefit offerings, and improvements in our food and beverage programs. The increase in out-of-park revenues wasentirely due to the shift of the Easter and Spring Break holidays to the second quarter of 2014 from the first quarter of 2013. The impact of the calendar shift was partially offset by strong early season performance at Knott's Berry Farm. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, only three of our resort properties. Excluding14 properties were in operation. The other parks, including three of our larger parks, Cedar Point and Kings Island located in Ohio and Canada's Wonderland in Toronto, were in the sale our two non-core water parks, attendance increased 2%, or 207,000 visits on a comparable park basis.final stages of preparing to open for the 2014 operating season.

Operating costs and expenses for the quarter increased 4%, or $11.3$4.0 million to $275.0$106.7 million from $263.7$102.7 million in 2013 and were in line with expectations.

The $7.0$3.7 million increase in operating expenses was due primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in employee related costs, a $1.6 million increase in operating supplies, and a $1.5 million increasebudgeted increases in maintenance expense. The increaseexpense as we continue to invest in employee related costs was primarily due to higher staffing levels, salary increases, and increases in benefit costs. Operating supplies increased due to premium benefit offerings and improved guest services. The $5.7 million increase in SG&A costs was due to increases in employee-related costs and agency advertising costs. The increase in SG&A employee-related expenses was due to an increase in performance incentive awards due to strong 2013 operating results to date,the infrastructure of our parks, as well as an increase in staffing levels across the company.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter decreased $2.7$0.5 million primarily due to several significant assets reaching the endshifting of their depreciable lives at the end of 2012. For the third quarter of 2013, the gain on sale of other assets was $8.7 million, reflecting the gain on the sale of one of our non-core water parks.operating calendar. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the current period was $1.6$1.0 million compared to $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2013, reflecting losses on the retirement of assets across allseveral of our parks. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaled $25.0 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom. After depreciation, amortization, gain on sale of other assets, loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, and all other non-cash costs, operating incomeloss in the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 increased $62.1$5.3 million to $266.7$71.6 million from an operating incomeloss of $204.6$66.3 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012.2013.

As mentioned in the nine-month discussion above, interest2013. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a reduction in average revolver balance and lower average rates on the revolver, as well as a reduction in non-cash deferred loan fee amortization resulting from the write-off of fees related to our prior credit agreement.

During the 2013 third2014 first quarter, the net effect of our swaps resulted in a $1.4$0.4 million non-cash charge to earnings, compared to a non-cash benefitcharge to earnings of $0.2$9.2 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012.2013. The net effect of swaps reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI related to the swaps and ineffective fair value movements in our non-designated derivative portfolio.portfolio, along with the write off of amounts in AOCI related to de-designated interest rate swaps. During the 2013 third2014 first quarter, we also recognized a $8.6$17.2 million net benefitcharge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency gains,losses, which included a $8.5$16.3 million unrealized foreign currency gainloss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Due to our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees related to our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million charge to earnings in the first quarter of 2013.

During the quarter, a provisionbenefit for taxes of $58.0$30.3 million was recorded to account for PTP taxes and the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries, compared to a provisionbenefit for taxes of $51.9$35.7 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in tax benefit recorded relates to the combination of a decrease in the pre-tax net loss for the period and a decrease in the effective tax rate.

After interest expense and the provisionbenefit for taxes, net incomeloss for the quarter totaled $190.4$83.5 million, or $3.41$1.51 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with a net incomeloss of $141.0$109.1 million, or $2.52$1.95 per diluted unit, for the thirdfirst quarter a year ago.

For the current quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased to $318.4 million from $292.3 million for the fiscal third quarter of 2012. The $26.1 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely attributable to incremental revenues resulting primarily from higher average guest per capita spending, as well as increases in out-of-park revenues in the quarter. These revenue increases were somewhat offset by higher costs associated with improving guest services and expanding our marketing efforts.

Twelve Months Ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 -

The fiscal twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, consisted of a 52-week period and 2,1402,118 operating days, compared with 53 weeks and 2,4162,403 operating days for the fiscal twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. The difference in operating days was due primarily to the sale of two non-core water parks, the combination of two parks, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, into one gate during 2013, and the extra weekcalendar shift of operationsthe Easter and Spring Break holidays in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2012.2014 described above.

Net revenues totaled $1,124.71,133.2 million for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, increasing $40.6$51.1 million,, from $1,084.11,082.1 million for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. The 4%5% increase in revenues for the twelve-month period was driven by a 7%an increase in average in-park guest per capita spending, the result of a stronger admissions per cap and improved pure in-park spending. The increase in pure in-park spending was in large part the result of improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued success of our premium benefit offerings. Attendance for the period decreased between

yearsprimarily due to the extra week of operations in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012, as well as the sale of two non-core water parks during the current yeartwelve-month period. Excluding the sale of the two water parks, attendance would have increased . Out-of-park revenues increased $4.6$6.4 million primarily due to an increase in processing fees as partthe strong performance of our expansion of ticketing options. The increase in net revenues for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013 also reflects the negative impact of currency exchangeresort properties, which drove higher average daily room rates and the weakening Canadian dollar on our Canadian operations (approximately $3.2 million) during the period.occupancy rates.

Operating costs and expenses decreased $1.6increased $26.4 million, or less than 1%4%, to $700.3$720.5 million, in large part due to one less week of operations infrom $694.1 million for the current twelve-month period and were in line with expectations.ended March 31, 2013. The decreaseincrease in costs and expenses reflects a $2.9$19.3 million increase in operating expenses and a $11.4 million increase in SG&A costs, somewhat offset by a decrease in cost of goods sold of $4.3 million. The decrease of 4% in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by food and a $1.2 million decrease in operating expenses, due primarily to the one less week in the period. These year-over-year cost decreases were partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in SG&A costs.beverage efficiency initiatives. The increase in operating costs was due to higher normal operating and maintenance expense, enhancements to park infrastructure, and increased employment related costs including

performance bonuses. SG&A costs reflects a $2.8 million increase in employment-relatedincreased due to full-time labor and benefit costs, related to higher staffing levels andincluding incentive compensation, plans tied to company performance and a $3.0 million increase in advertising costs related to the transition to a new advertising agency somewhat offset byand consumer relationship management database development costs. Exchange rates had a $2.6 decrease in professional and administrative costs, the result of reductions in litigation expenses and consulting fees in the period. The overall decrease infavorable impact ($4.6 million) on costs and expenses also reflects the impact of exchange rates onat our Canadian operations ($1.0 million) during the period.

For the twelve-month period ending September 29, 2013,ended March 30, 2014, the gain on sale of other assets was $15.4$8.7 million reflectingdue to the gainsale of one non-core water park during 2013. Gain on sale of other assets totaled $6.6 million for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2013, reflecting the sale of two non-core water parksassets during the period. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets for the period was $8.4$2.9 million, due to the removal of a ride to enhance a section of one of our parks, as well asasset retirements of assets across all of our properties. Loss on impairment/retirement of fixed assets during the period ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 totaled $34.5$30.8 million, which reflected a non-cash charge of $25.0 million for the partial impairment of operating and non-operating assets at Wildwater Kingdom and an $8.8 million charge for the retirementasset retirements across all of an asset which is further described in Note 11 to the financial statements.our properties.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the period decreased $4.8$5.0 million compared with the prior period due primarily to several significant assets being fully depreciated at the end of 2012.2012 and the later opening of parks for the 2014 operating season when compared to 2013. After depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges and all other non-cash costs, operating income for the current period increased $88.5$59.8 million to $309.0$296.5 million from $220.5$236.7 million.

Interest expense for the twelve months ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 decreased $12.5$7.6 million to $103.9$102.0 million, from $116.4$109.6 million for the same twelve-month period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense reflects a decrease in revolver interest in the period due to lower borrowings, and a lower average cost resulting from the March 2013 refinancing and a decrease in non-cash amortization expense resulting from the write-off of loan fees related to our prior credit agreement, and the impact of the settlement of our Canadian cross-currency swaps in the first quarter of 2012.agreement.

During the current twelve-month period, the net effect of our interest rate swaps was recorded as a benefit to earnings of $2.0 million compared to a charge to earnings of $8.1 million compared to a benefit to earnings of $10.9$8.7 million in the prior twelve-month period. The difference reflects the regularly scheduled amortization of amounts in AOCI, and write-off of amounts related to de-designated swaps, which were offset by gains from marking the ineffective and de-designated swaps to market in the current period. During the current period, we also recognized a $20.2$37.2 million charge to earnings for unrealized/realized foreign currency losses, which included a $19.4$35.5 million unrealized foreign currency loss on the U.S.-dollar denominated debt held at our Canadian property. Due toDuring the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, as a result of our March 2013 refinancing, loan fees that were paid as part of our 2010 and 2011 financings were written off, resulting in a $34.6 million non-cash charge to earnings recorded in "Loss on early debt extinguishment" on the consolidated statement of operations.

A provision for taxes of $24.0$25.7 million was recorded in the period for the tax attributes of our corporate subsidiaries and PTP taxes. This compares with a provision for taxes of $27.9$17.6 million in twelve-month period ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. The increase in tax provision recorded relates to the combination of an increase in pre-tax net income for the period, offset somewhat by a decrease in the effective tax rate.

After interest expense and provision for taxes, net income for the period totaled $118.4$133.8 million, or $2.12$2.39 per diluted limited partner unit, compared with net income of $105.9$58.1 million, or $1.89$1.04 per diluted unit, a year ago.

As discussed above, the current trailing-twelve-month results include one less week of operations due to the timing of the third quarter fiscal close. Comparing the twelve-month periods for both 2013 and 2012 onWe believe Adjusted EBITDA is a comparable 52-week basis, net revenues would be up approximately $55.1 million, or 5%, on increases in both average in-park guest per capita spending and out-of-park revenues, partially offset by a slight decline in attendance. The increase in average in-park guest per capita spending is primarily due to a higher admissions per cap and improved pure in-park spending, driven largely by improvements in our food and beverage programs and the expansion and continued successmeaningful measure of our premium benefit offerings. Out-of-park revenues would have increased $6.3 million primarily due to an increase in transaction fees from on-line ticket sales. Attendance for the comparable period would have decreased 351,000 visits, primarily due to soft attendance during the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.

On a comparable 52-week basis, operating costs and expenses would have increased approximately $9.1 million, the net result of a $1.9 million decrease in cost of goods sold, a $6.2 million increase in operating expenses and a $4.8 million increase in SG&A costs. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in employment-related expenses of $3.3 million, a $3.9 million increase in operating supply costs, and a $1.6 million increase in utility costs. Somewhat offsetting these operating-expense increases were decreases in maintenance expenses of $3.5 million and insurance expenses of $1.6 million. The increase in employment-related costs was largely due to higher benefit costs and increased seasonal labor hours resulting from expanded operating hours at several parks, the introduction ofresults (for additional attractions and enhanced guest services at our parks. Operating supplies increased due largely to the introduction of new extra-charge attractions and incremental expenses related to our expanded premium benefit offerings. Utility costs increased primarily due to rate increases and the addition of new rides and attractions at the parks. The increase in SG&A costs for the period reflects a $3.4 million increase in employment-related costs due to higher staffing levels and incentive compensation plans tied to company performance, and a $4.0 million increase in advertising costs related to the transition to a new advertising agency. Somewhat offsetting these SG&A cost increases was a $2.5 million decrease in professional and administrative costs primarily due to reductions in litigation expenses and consulting fees in the period.

information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, forincluding how we define and use Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation from net income, see pages 31-32). For the twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013,March 30, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA increased $37.1$25.3 million, or 9%6%, to $430.7$420.7 million. On a same-week basis, Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-monthOver this same period, would have increased approximately $40.9 million, or 11%. On a same-week basis, our Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues) increased 19060 bps to 38.3%37.1% from 36.4%36.5% for the twelve-month period ended September 29, 2013,March 31, 2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the success of high-margin revenuesrevenue initiatives during the period, such as growth in our premium guest benefit offerings and our admission pricing, combined with another year of growth in our season pass base and a continued focus on controlling operating costs.

October 2013 -

Based on preliminary results, net revenues through November 3, 2013 were approximately $1,104 million, up 6%, or $65 million, compared with $1,039 million forcosts at the same period last year. The increase was the result of an approximate 6%, or $2.31, increase in average in-park guest per capita spending to a record $44.33, and an approximate 7%, or $8 million increase, in out-of-park revenues to $117 million. Also contributing to revenue growth was an increase in attendance of 100,000 visits, compared with last year. Excluding the sale of two water parks, attendance was up 2%, or 334,000 visits, to a record 22.7 million visits on a comparable park basis.level.

In July 2010, we issued $405As of March 30, 2014, our debt consisted of the following:
$405 million of 9.125% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2018, yielding 9.375% due to the notes being issued at a discount in a private placement, including $5.6 million of Original Issue Discount (OID) to yield 9.375%. The $405 million senior unsecured notes require semi-annual interest payments in February and August, with the principal due in full on August 1, 2018.July 2010. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 1, 2014 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to August 1, 2013, up to 35% of theThe notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 109.125%.pay interest semi-annually in February and August.
In February 2011, we amended our 2010 Credit Agreement (as so amended, the "Amended 2010 Credit Agreement") to provide a $1,175 million senior secured term loan facility with interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 bps along with a LIBOR floor of 100 bps. The amendment extended the maturity date of the term loan portion of the credit facilities to December 2018.
The Amended 2010 Credit Agreement also included a $260 million revolving credit facility. Under the agreement, the Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility has a limit of $15 million. U.S. denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps (with no LIBOR floor). Canadian denominated loans made under the Canadian portion of the facility also bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in July of 2015, also provided for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit.

In March 2013, we issued $500 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes, maturing in 2021, in a private placement, with no OID. Our $500 million of senior unsecured notes pay interest semi-annually in March and September, with the principal due in full on March 15, 2021.issued at par. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Thereafter, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at various prices depending on the date redeemed. Prior to March 15, 2016,, up to 35% of the notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at 105.25%. These notes pay interest semi-annually in March and September.

Concurrently with this offering, we entered into a new $885 million credit agreement (the "2013 Credit Agreement"), which included a $630 million seniorSenior secured term loan facility anddebt of $618.9 million, maturing in March 2020 under our 2013 Credit Agreement. The term debt bears interest at a$255 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The terms of the senior secured term loan facility include a maturity date of March 15, 2020 and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 bps with a LIBOR floor of 75 bps. The term loan amortizes at $6.3$6.3 million annually. The net proceeds fromDue to a prepayment made during 2013, we only have current maturities totaling $1.5 million as of March 30, 2014.
$55 million in borrowings under the notes and borrowings$255 million senior secured revolving credit facility under our 2013 Credit Agreement. Under the 2013 Credit Agreement, were used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the Amended 2010 Credit Agreement. The facilities provided under the 2013 Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.

Terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement include a revolving credit facility of a combined $255 million. The Canadian portion of the revolving credit facility has a limitsub-limit of $15 million.$15 million. U.S. denominated and Canadian denominated loans made under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 bps (with no LIBOR floor). The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2018 and also provides for the issuance of documentary and standby letters of credit. The 2013 Credit Agreement requires the Partnership tothat we pay a commitment fee of 5038 bps per annum on the unused portion of the credit facilities.
At the end of the quarter, we had a total of $628.4$618.9 million of variable-rate term debt (before giving consideration to fixed-rate interest rate swaps), $901.6$902.0 million of fixed-rate debt (including OID), no$55.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand of $183.5$8.9 million. After letters of credit, which totaled $16.4$16.3 million at September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, we had $238.6$183.7 million of available borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
In order to lock in fixed interest costs on a portion of our domestic term debt, in September 2010 we
We have entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("September 2010 swaps") tointerest rate swaps that effectively convert a totalfix all of $600 million ofour variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginningpayments. As of March 30, 2014, we have $800 million of interest rate swaps in October 2011. As a result of the February 2011 amendment to the 2010 Credit Agreement, the LIBOR floor on the term loan portion of its credit facilities decreased to 100 bps from 150 bps, causing a mismatch in critical terms of the September 2010 swaps and the underlying debt. Because of the mismatch of critical terms, we determined the September 2010 swaps, which were originally designated as cash flow hedges, were no longer highly effective, resulting in the de-designation of the swaps as of the end of February 2011. As a result of this ineffectiveness, gains of $7.2 million recorded in AOCI through the date of de-designation are being amortized through December 2015.
In March 2011, we entered into several additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("March 2011 swaps") that, when combined with the September 2010 swaps, effectively converted $600 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. The September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps were jointly designated as cash flow hedges, maturing in December 2015 and had fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.46%. For the period that the September 2010 swaps were de-designated, their fair value decreased by $3.3 million, the offset of which was recognized as a direct charge to earnings and

recorded to “Net effect of swaps” on the consolidated statement of operations along with the regular amortization of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” balances related to these swaps. No other ineffectiveness related to these swaps was recorded in any period presented.
In May 2011, we entered into four additional forward-starting basis-rate swap agreements ("May 2011 swaps")place that effectively converted another $200 million of variable-rate debt to fixed rates beginning in October 2011. These swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, mature in December 2015 and fixed LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.54%.
As a result of the 2013 Credit Agreement, the previously described swaps were de-designated as the spreads of the 2013 Credit Agreement decreased to 75 bps from 100 bps in the Amended 2010 Credit Agreement. The May 2011 swaps remain de-designated as the amount of variable rate debt decreased to $630 million, and accordingly, the May 2011 swaps are now over hedged. On March 4, 2013, we entered into several forward-starting swap agreements ("March 2013 swaps") that were not designated as a cash flow hedge on that date. On March 6, 2013, the March 2013 swaps were combined with the September 2010 swaps and the March 2011 swaps (together referred to as the "Combination Swaps"), and designated as cash flow hedges, effectively converting $600 million ofconvert variable-rate debt to fixed rates. The Combination Swaps were designated as cash flow hedges,These swaps, which mature in December 2015 and fix LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 2.33%. At the time of the de-designation, the fair market value of the September 2010 swaps and March 2011 swaps was $22.2 million2.38%, which will be amortized out of AOCI into expense in "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive incomethrough December 2015. At the time of the de-designation, the fair market value of the May 2011 swaps was $7.8 million and was immediately recognized into expense in "Net effect of swaps" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.have been de-designated as cash flow hedges. During the third quarter of 2013, the Combination Swaps were de-designated as the hedge effectiveness testing indicated that these swaps would be ineffective throughout the remaining periods until maturity.

The 2013 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain specified financial ratios, which if breached for any reason and not cured, could result in an event of default under the agreement. The most critical of these ratios is the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which is measured on a trailing-twelve-month quarterly basis. At the end of the thirdfirst quarter of 2013,2014, this ratio was set at 6.25x consolidated total debt (excluding the revolving debt)-to-consolidated EBITDA. The ratio will remain at that level through the end of the first quarter in 2014 and will decrease by 0.25x each second quarter beginning in the second quarter of 2014.2014 until it reaches 5.25x. Based on our trailing-twelve-month results ending September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 3.573.63x, providing $184.1175.2 million of EBITDA cushion on the ratio at the end of the thirdfirst quarter. We were in compliance with all other covenants under the 2013 Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.

The 2013 Credit Agreement allows restricted payments of up to $60 million annually so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. Additional restricted payments are allowed to be made based on an excess-cash-flow formula, should our pro-forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio be less than or equal to 5.0x, measured on a trailing-twelve-month quarterly basis.

In accordance with these debt provisions, on August 8, 2013,February 26, 2014, we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.625$0.70 per limited partner unit, which was paid on September 16, 2013,March 25, 2014, and on November 7, 2013May 8, 2014 we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.70 per limited partner unit, payable DecemberJune 16, 2013.2014.
Existing credit facilities and cash flows from operations are expected to be sufficient to meet working capital needs, debt service, partnership distributions and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:
We had $16.4$16.3 million in letters of credit, which are primarily in place to backstop insurance arrangements, outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014. We have no other significant off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this report (including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section) that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements as to our expectations, beliefs and strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors, including those listed under Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, could adversely affect our future financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates, and to a lesser extent on currency exchange rates on our operations in Canada and, from time to time, on imported rides and equipment. The objective of our financial risk management is to reduce the potential negative impact of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to acceptable levels. We do not acquire market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
We manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed-rate long-term debt, interest rate swaps that fix a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt, and variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Translation exposures with regard to our Canadian operations are not hedged.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is reported as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify as effective hedging activities are reported as “Net effect of swaps” in the consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, the “Other comprehensive income (loss)” related to interest rate swaps that become ineffective is amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate swap, and reported as a component of “Net effect of swaps” in the consolidated statement of operations.

As of September 29, 2013,March 30, 2014, we had $901.6$902.0 million of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes and $628.4$618.9 million of variable-rate term debt. After considering the impact of interest rate swap agreements, virtually all of our outstanding long-term debt represents fixed-rate debt. Assuming an average balance on our revolving credit borrowings of approximately $31$27 million, a hypothetical 100 bps

increase in 30-day LIBOR on our variable-rate debt (not considering the impact of our interest rate swaps) would lead to an increase of approximately $3.8 million in annual cash interest costs.
Assuming a hypothetical 100 bps increase in 30-day LIBOR, the amount of net cash interest paid on our variable-rate debt, afterderivative portfolio would decrease by $4.6 million over the fixed-rate swap agreements, would lead to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in annual cash interest costs.next year.
A uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would result in a $3.7$4.2 million decrease in annual operating income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - 
The Partnership maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014, the Partnership's management, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures under supervision of management, and with the participation of the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014.


(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting -
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
On May 14, 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued an updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Originally issued in 1992 (1992 Framework), the framework helps organizations design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. The 1992 Framework remains available during the transition period, which extends to December 15, 2014, after which time COSO will consider it as superseded by the 2013 Framework. As of March 30, 2014, the Partnership continues to utilize the 1992 Framework during the transition to the 2013 Framework by the end of 2014.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Jacob T. Falfas vs. Cedar Fair, L.P.

On July 23, 2010, Jacob T. (Jack) Falfas, the former Chief Operating Officer, filed a demand for private arbitration as provided by his employment agreement.  In that demand, Mr. Falfas disputed the Partnership's position that he had resigned in June 2010, alleging instead that his employment with the Partnership was terminated without cause.  That dispute went to private arbitration, and on February 28, 2011, an arbitration panel ruled 2-to-1 in favor of Mr. Falfas finding that he did not resign but was terminated without cause. Rather than fashioning a remedy consistent with the employment agreement, the panel ruled that Mr. Falfas should be reinstated. The Partnership believed that the arbitrators exceeded their authority by creating a remedy not legally available to Mr. Falfas under his contract with Cedar Fair. On March 21, 2011, the Partnership filed an action  in Erie County Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 2011 CV 0217) seeking  to have the award modified or vacated.  On March 22, 2011, Mr. Falfas commenced a related action in the Erie County Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 2011 CV 0218) demanding enforcement of the arbitration ruling.  The two actions were combined into Case No. 2011 CV 0217, before Judge Roger E. Binette.  On February 22, 2012 the Erie County Common Pleas Court issued a ruling partially vacating the arbitration award and declaring that Mr. Falfas was not entitled to reinstatement of his employment.  The ruling also provided that in accord with paragraph 2 of the arbitration award Mr. Falfas was entitled to certain back pay and other benefits under his 2007 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement as if the employment relationship had not been severed.  In March of 2012 Mr. Falfas and the  Company both filed appeals of the Court's ruling with the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals in Toledo, Ohio.  On April 19, 2013, the Court of Appeals issued a ruling reversing the Erie County Common Pleas Court's order regarding the reinstatement of Mr. Falfas' employment and affirming the order regarding back pay and other benefits and remanding the case back to the Erie County

38


Common Pleas Court for further proceedings.  On June 3, 2013, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal and Memorandum in Support of Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme Court related to the April 19, 2013 Court of Appeals decision.  On July 2, 2013, Mr. Falfas filed a Memorandum in Opposition to Jurisdiction with the Ohio Supreme Court.  On September 25, 2013, the Supreme Court of Ohio accepted the appeal on Proposition of Law No. 1 related to the Supreme Court’s  holding in Masetta v. National Bronze & Aluminum Foundry Co. 159 Ohio St. 306 (1953), barring specific performance as a remedy for a personal services contract under Ohio law and its applicability to individual employment agreements.  The matter will now proceed on the merits and both sides will have the opportunity to fileBoth parties filed legal briefs with the court setting forth the basis of their legal arguments.  On April 9, 2014, the parties made oral arguments to the Court in support of their respective arguments.positions.  Upon the conclusion of the oral arguments the procedural stage of the case was closed and the case was submitted to the court for a final ruling.  The Partnership believes the liability recorded

48


as of September 29, 2013March 30, 2014 to be adequate and does not expect the arbitration ruling or the court order to materially affect its financial results in future periods.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013.


ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On May 8, 2013, the Partnership announced that it had identified a historical classification error in its initial determination of whether a specific asset retired under the composite method of depreciation was normal or unusual. The error resulted in the overstatement of Income before taxes of $8.8 million for the period ended December 31, 2011.

Under the composite method of depreciation, no gain or loss is recognized on normal retirements of composite assets. Instead the net book value after salvage of a retired asset reduces accumulated depreciation for the composite group. Abnormal or unusual retirements of composite assets would result in the recognition of a gain or loss. The error resulted in the Partnership's application of its qualitative policy used to determine whether an asset retirement is normal or unusual. The asset retirement that was restated was originally classified as normal, thus reducing accumulated depreciation. Management identified that the Partnership had failed to consider whether the specific asset had a substantial net book value and/or if the retirement caused a deviation from the estimated composite depreciation survivor curve as well as other minor qualitative issues.

The restatement amount of $8.8 million was recorded in Loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, net in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filing to correct the previous error.

As disclosed in prior filings, the Partnership had determined that it was preferable to change from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation with the change effective January 1, 2013. The Partnership believes that pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, changing from the composite method of depreciation to the unit method of depreciation is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle, which should be accounted for prospectively. The change to the unit method of depreciation eliminates the qualitative judgment needed to determine whether an asset retirement is normal or unusual, as the net book value of all retirements will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
