PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "risk factors" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY PARKS, INC.
Great American Family Parks is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating regional theme parks. We plan to build a family of parks primarily through acquisitions of small regional privately owned parks. Our goal is to develop a series of compatible, but distinct entertainment and amusement products including themed amusement parks, associated products, food and beverage, and multimedia offerings. The implementation of this strategy has begun with themed amusement parks and attractions. Our business plan is to acquire existing properties. The intent is to target properties located in and around “middle markets” listed among the 75 to 125 largest Standard Metropolitan Areas in the United States – a “niche market” of medium-sized urban areas.
Great American Family Parks currently owns and operates two facilities: Wild Animal Safari, Inc. in Pine Mountain, Georgia and the retail facilities surrounding The Idaho Center, a regional entertainment complex in the Boise, Idaho area.
Our principal executive offices are located at 208 South Academy Avenue, Suite 130, Eagle, Idaho 83616 and our telephone number is (208) 342-8888. We are incorporated in the State of Nevada.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
June 2005 Private Placement
On June 24, 2005, we entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which we sold and issued 11,128,000 shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants to purchase 11,128,000 shares of our common stock to certain purchasers who are a party to the Unit Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $3,338,400.
The warrants are exercisable from June 24, 2005 until June 23, 2010 for up to 11,128,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.35 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassifications of our common stock or distributions of cash or other assets. In addition, the Warrants contain provisions protecting against dilution resulting from the sale of additional shares of our common stock for less than the exercise price of the Warrants on the date of such issuance or sale.
In addition, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors on June 24, 2005 pursuant to which we are obligated to file a registration statement covering the above-referenced common stock and shares underlying the warrants within 45 days of closing. If the registration statement is not filed within the 45 day period, or declared effective within 120 days of the closing, we are required to pay a penalty of 2% of the offering proceeds per month until such default is cured, on a pro-rated daily basis.
First Montauk Securities Corp. acted as selling agent in connection with the offering. We issued a total of 1,112,800 warrants on June 24, 2005 to the First Montauk Securities Corp. and affiliated individuals and First Montauk Securities Corp. received gross fees of $433,992, as consideration for services performed in connection with the issuance of the common shares and warrants to the purchasers pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement. First Montauk Securities Corp. has no obligation to buy any common shares from us. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify First Montauk Securities Corp. and other persons against specific liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The issuance of the shares and the warrants was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder based upon the representations of each of the Investors that it was an "accredited investor" (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and that it was purchasing such securities without a present view toward a distribution of the securities. In addition, there was no general advertisement conducted in connection with the sale of the securities.
Acquisition of the Assets of Ron Snider & Associates, doing business as Wild Animal Safari or Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park
On June 13, 2005, we completed our acquisition of Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park located in Pine Mountain, Georgia. At closing, we paid $350,000 in cash and a promissory note for $350,000. The promissory note bears interest at 7.5% per annum and is payable in eighty-three monthly payments of principal and interest of $5,368. We also entered into a Real Estate Purchase agreement for the underlying land and all buildings, improvements and fixtures of the park for $4,000,000. We paid $2,000,000 in cash at closing and issued a promissory note for $2,000,000. The note bears interest at 7.5% per annum and is payable in eighty-three monthly payments of principal and interest of $30,676. Both notes are secured by a first priority Security Agreement on the operating assets and a first Security Deed on the real estate. An agreement extension payment of $50,000 for extension of closing was also paid in addition to 50,000 shares of Compan y stock.
The purchase was for the assets of Ron Snider & Associates, Inc., which operated under the name of Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park, and was also generally known as Wild Animal Safari. These assets are now part of our subsidiary called Wild Animal Safari, Inc.
6
September 2004 Private Placement
On September 28, 2004, we entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we sold and issued 1,716,000 shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,716,000 shares of our common stock to certain purchasers who are a party to the Unit Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $429,000.
The warrants are exercisable from September 28, 2004 until September 27, 2009 for up to 1,716,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassifications of our common stock or distributions of cash or other assets. In addition, the Warrants contain provisions protecting against dilution resulting from the sale of additional shares of our common stock for less than the exercise price of the Warrants on the date of such issuance or sale.
In addition, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors on September 28, 2004 pursuant to which we are obligated to file a registration statement covering the above-referenced common stock and shares underlying the warrants within 45 days of closing. If the registration statement is not filed within the 45 day period, or declared effective within 120 days of the closing, we are required to pay a penalty of 2% of the offering proceeds per month until such default is cured, on a pro-rated daily basis.
First Montauk Securities Corp. acted as selling agent in connection with the offering. We issued a total of 343,200 warrants to the First Montauk Securities Corp. and affiliated individuals and First Montauk Securities Corp. received gross fees of $55,770 as consideration for services performed in connection with the issuance of the common shares and warrants to the purchasers pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement. First Montauk Securities Corp. has no obligation to buy any common shares from us. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify First Montauk Securities Corp. and other persons against specific liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The issuance of the shares and the warrants was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder based upon the representations of each of the Investors that it was an "accredited investor" (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and that it was purchasing such securities without a present view toward a distribution of the securities. In addition, there was no general advertisement conducted in connection with the sale of the securities.
Acquisition of Crossroads Convenience Center LLC
On December 23, 2003, we completed the acquisition of Crossroads Convenience Center LLC. from Great Western Parks LLC. by the issuance of 27,067,000 shares of our common capital stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Great Western Parks was considered to be the acquirer of Great American Family Parks for reporting purposes. Our common stock outstanding increased from 2,533,000 to 29,600,000 as a result of the acquisition.

RISK FACTORS
If you purchase shares of our common stock, you will take on a financial risk. In deciding whether to invest, you should consider carefully the following risk factors, the information contained in this prospectus and the other information to which we have referred you. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Business:
We May Never Become Profitable Nor Continue As A Going Concern Because We Have Had Losses Since Our Inception.
We may never become profitable nor continue as a going concern because we have incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flow since our formation. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we had a net loss of $46,449 and net profit of $62,971, respectively. For our fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had a net loss of $280,406 and $4,984, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses. Our operating expenses have outpaced and may continue to outpace revenues, which could result in significant losses in the near term. We may never be able to reduce these losses, which would require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. If such financing is obtained our existing shareholders may experience significant additional dilution.
9
We Have Limited Operating History Which Is Based Solely Upon Our Retail Facility; We Have Only Recently Begun to Operate a Theme Park Which is Our Intended Business Plan.
We have a limited operating history based solely upon our retail facility, and our financial health will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. The likelihood of our success must be considered in the light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the startup and growth of a new business, and the competitive environment in which we will operate. Our success is dependent upon the successful financing and development of our business plan. No assurance of success is offered. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business and marketing and developing products. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customers and market expertise, market conditions, sales, marketing and governmental regulation. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail our operations. Even though the principal executives of our GFAM Management Corporation subsidiary and our Wild Animal Safari, Inc. subsidiary each have approximately 35 years of experience in the theme park industry, we can give no assurance we can or will ever operate profitably.
Our Historical Financial Statements do not Reflect Our Entire Business.
Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 do not reflect our recent acquisition of the assets of Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park. As a result, our financial statements do not reflect our overall financial condition or ability to successfully operate our business. Investors may therefore not have adequate information regarding our ability to generate revenue or income from our theme park business. Investors should not rely upon our current financial statements currently available to project our future financial performance.
We May Not Identify or Complete Acquisitions in a Timely, Cost-Effective Manner, If At All.
Our business plan is predicated upon the acquisition of additional local or regional theme parks and attractions. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring and operating additional local or regional theme parks and attractions. Competition for acquisition opportunities in the theme park industry is intense as there are a limited number of parks within the United States and Canada that could reasonably qualify as acquisition targets for us. Our acquisition strategy is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to: identify acquisition opportunities; obtain debt and equity financing; and obtain necessary regulatory approvals. Our ability to pursue our acquisition strategy may be hindered if we are not able to successfully identify acquisition targets or obtain the necessary financing or regulatory approvals, including but not limited to those arising under federal and state antitrust and environmental l aws.
We May Be Unable To Effectively Manage Our Growth or Implement Our Expansion Strategy.
Our acquisition strategy is subject to related risks, including pressure on our management and on our internal systems and controls. Our planned growth will require us to invest in new, and improve our existing, operational, technological and financial systems and to expand, train and retain our employee base. Our failure to effectively manage our growth could have a material adverse effect on our future financial condition.
Significant Amounts of Additional Financing May Be Necessary For the Implementation of Our Business Plan.
Great American Family Parks may require additional debt and equity financing to pursue its acquisition strategy. Given its limited operating history and existing losses, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing. Lack of additional funding could force us to curtail substantially our expansion plans. Furthermore, the issuance by us of any additional securities and the exercise of Warrants which might arise under any future fundraising activities undertaken by us would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders and may reduce the price of our common stock.
A Downturn In Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect Our Business.
The theme park industry typically relies upon the expenditure of consumer discretionary income. A significant downturn in the United States or global economy or any other uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could affect consumer-spending habits, which would have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial results.
10
A Variety of Factors Beyond Our Control Could Adversely Impact Attendance at Our Venues and Thus Our Operating Results.
The success of our theme parks and other venues is dependent upon attracting large numbers of visitors on a continual basis. A variety of actual or projected events could reduce attendance at our venues and harm our operating results, including but not limited to the following:
§
Inclement weather and forecasts thereof;
§
Natural disasters and forecasts thereof;
§
Human or animal borne disease and threats thereof;
§
Terrorist attacks and threats thereof;
§
Accidents occurring or almost occurring at our venues or at competing venues;
§
Actual or attempted security breaches at our venues or at competing venues;
§
An economic downturn and projections thereof;
§
Fuel price increases and projections thereof;
§
Airline ticket price increases and forecasts thereof;
§
Disruptions in air travel and threats thereof;
§
Competition from numerous theme park and entertainment alternatives.
The Theme Park Industry is Highly Competitive and We May Be Unable to Compete Effectively.
The theme park industry is highly competitive, highly fragmented, rapidly evolving, and subject to technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products. One of our competitors, Calloway Gardens, is located within five miles of our Wild Animal Safari park. Many of our current competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence as well as greater financial, technical, operational, marketing and other resources and experience than we have. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets we may not be able to compete successfully in such markets. Great American Family Parks believes that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce costs commensurate with such price reductions. In addition, the pace of technolo gical change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar products offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost effective products, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
We Face Strong Competition From Numerous Entertainment Alternatives.
In addition to competing with other themed and amusement parks, our venues compete with other types of recreational venues and entertainment alternatives, including but not limited to movies, sports attractions, vacation travel and video games. There can be no assurance that we will successfully differentiate ourselves from these entertainment alternatives or that consumers will consider our entertainment offerings to be more appealing than those of our competitors.
Our Insurance Coverage May Not Be Adequate To Cover All Possible Losses That We Could Suffer, and Our Insurance Costs May Increase.
Companies engaged in the theme park business may be sued for substantial damages in the event of an actual or alleged accident. An accident occurring at our parks or at competing parks may reduce attendance, increase insurance premiums, and negatively impact our operating results. Wild Animal Safari contains a drive-through, safari style animal park, and there are inherent risks associated with allowing the public to interact with animals. Although we carry liability insurance to cover this risk, there can be no assurance that our coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities, or that we will be able to afford or obtain adequate coverage should a catastrophic incident occur.
Great American Family Parks currently has $6,000,000 of liability insurance through its Wild Animal Safari, Inc. subsidiary. In addition, Great American Family Parks also has liability insurance for its Crossroads Convenience Center LLC totaling $2,105,000. We will continue to use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain policies of liability, fire and casualty insurance sufficient to provide reasonable coverage for risks arising from accidents, fire, weather, other acts of God, and other potential casualties. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate levels of insurance to protect against suits and judgments in connection with accidents or other disasters that may occur in our theme parks.
11
Our Ownership of Real Property Subjects Us to Environmental Regulation, Which Creates Uncertainty Regarding Future Environmental Expenditures and Liabilities.
We may be required to incur costs to comply with environmental requirements, such as those relating to discharges to air, water and land; the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste; and the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substances. Under these and other environmental requirements we may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases at one of our properties. As an owner or operator, we could also be held responsible to a governmental entity or third party for property damage, personal injury and investigation and cleanup costs incurred by them in connection with any contamination. Environmental laws typically impose cleanup responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. The liability under those laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasona ble basis for allocation of the responsibility. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of those substances may be substantial, and the presence of those substances, or the failure to remediate a property properly, may impair our ability to use our property. We are not currently aware of any material environmental risks regarding our properties. However, we may be required to incur costs to remediate potential environmental hazards or to mitigate environmental risks in the future.
We Are Dependent Upon the Services of Our CEO and other Key Personnel and Consultants.
Great American Family Parks’ success is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of our current executive officers listed under “Management.” Loss of the services of one or more of these officers could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations. In particular, we place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of Dr. Larry Eastland, our chief executive officer. The loss of Dr. Eastland's services could have a serious adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects. We currently maintain key man insurance on Dr. Eastland’s life, with a death benefit payout of $1,000,000 to Great American Family Parks as beneficiary of the policy.
Further, our success and achievement of our growth plans depend on our ability to recruit, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees among companies in the theme park industry is intense, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of the Company’s activities, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. The inability of the Company to attract and retain the necessary personnel and consultants and advisors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock:
The Market Price Of Our Common Stock May Decline Because There Are Warrants That May Be Available For Future Sale And The Sale Of These Shares May Depress The Market Price.
The market price of our common stock may decline because there are a large number of warrants that may be available for future sale, and the sale of these shares may depress the market price. As of August 2, 2005, we had approximately 44,854,537 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and outstanding warrants to purchase up to 14,306,000 shares of common stock. All of the shares included in this prospectus may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions In Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
12
* that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
* the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
* obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
* make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person
has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in
penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
* sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
* that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We Do Not Expect to Pay Dividends for Some Time, if At All.
No cash dividends have been paid on our common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors.
The Public Market for Our Common Stock is Volatile and Limited.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol GFAM. The Pink Sheets is not an exchange. Trading of securities on the Pink Sheets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on an exchange. Investors may have difficulty reselling their shares at or above the initial offering price. As of August 2, 2005, there were approximately 44,854,537 shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which approximately 1,645,867 were tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that a trading market will be sustained in the future. Factors such as, but not limited to, technological innovations, new products, acquisitions or strategic alliances entered into by us or our competitors, government regulatory action, patent or proprietary rights developments, and market conditions for penny stocks in general could have a material effect on the liquidity of our comm on stock and volatility of our stock price.
Future Capital Needs Could Result in Dilution to Investors; Additional Financing Could be Unavailable or Have Unfavorable Terms.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, progress in our present operations, competing market developments, and our ability to market our products successfully. It may be necessary to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. Any equity financings could result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders. Sources of debt financing may result in higher interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on terms unfavorable to us. If adequate funds are not obtained, we may be required to reduce or curtail operations. We anticipate that our existing capital resources, together with the net proceeds of this Offering, will be adequate to satisfy our operating expenses and capital requirements for at least 6 months after the date of this Memorandum. However, such estimates may prove to be inaccurate.
13
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholder. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the selling stockholder. If all warrants held by the selling stockholders are exercised, we will receive $3,894,800 in proceeds.
We anticipate that any proceeds from the exercise of warrants by the selling stockholders will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include but are not limited to working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and the repayment or refinancing of our indebtedness. Pending the application of any proceeds from the exercise of warrants, if any, by the selling stockholders, we expect to invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Some of the information in this Form SB-2 contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate" and "continue", or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
o
discuss our future expectations;
o
contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and
o
state other "forward-looking" information.
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors."
Overview
Great American Family Parks is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating local and regional theme parks and attractions. We plan to build a family of parks primarily through acquisitions of small local or regional privately owned parks. Our goal is to develop a series of compatible, but distinct entertainment and amusement products including themed amusement parks, associated products, food and beverage, and multimedia offerings. The implementation of this strategy has begun with themed amusement parks and attractions. Our business plan is to acquire existing properties. The intent is to target properties located in and around “middle markets” listed among the 75 to 125 largest Standard Metropolitan Areas in the United States – a “niche market” of medium-sized urban areas.
Great American Family Parks currently owns and operates two facilities: Wild Animal Safari, Inc. in Pine Mountain, Georgia and the retail facilities (known as Crossroads Convenience Center LLC.) surrounding The Idaho Center, a regional entertainment complex in the Boise, Idaho area.

Company History
We were originally incorporated on July 30, 1954 as Painted Desert Uranium & Oil Co., Inc. in Washington State. On October 1, 2002, Painted Desert Uranium & Oil Co., Inc. changed its name to Royal Pacific Resources, Inc. and its corporate domicile to the State of Nevada. On January 26, 2004, subsequent to the acquisition of assets from Great Western Parks LLC., Royal Pacific Resources, Inc. changed its corporate name to Great American Family Parks, Inc.
Great American Family Parks, Inc. is the parent corporation and (1) sole shareholder of GFAM Management Corporation, an Idaho corporation; (2) sole shareholder of Wild Animal Safari, Inc., a Georgia corporation; and (3) sole interest holder of Crossroads Convenience Center LLC, an Idaho limited liability company. GFAM Management Corporation will be responsible for overall management of our future proposed parks operation. Wild Animal Safari, Inc. will operate and own the assets of the Wild Animal Safari park in Pine Mountain, Georgia.
On June 13, 2005, we completed our acquisition of the assets of Ron Snider & Associates, Inc. also known as Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park located in Pine Mountain, Georgia. At closing, we paid $350,000 in cash and a promissory note for $350,000. The promissory note bears interest at 7.5% per annum and is payable in eighty-three monthly payments of principal and interest of $5,368. We also entered into a Real Estate Purchase agreement for the underlying land and all buildings, improvements and fixtures of the park for $4,000,000. We paid $2,000,000 in cash at closing and issued a promissory note for $2,000,000. The note bears interest at 7.5% per annum and is payable in eighty-three monthly payments of principal and interest of $30,676. Both notes are secured by a first priority Security Agreement on the operating assets and a first Security Deed on the real estate. An agreement extension payment of $50,000 for extension of closing was also paid in addition to 50,000 shares of Company stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash on hand increased $3,982 to $29,813 as of December 31, 2004, as compared to cash on hand of $25,831 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Total current assets as of March 31, 2005 were $234,012, consisting of $56,157 of cash and $53,166 of net accounts receivable. Total current liabilities of $323,949 consisted of $151,697 of accounts payable, $76,593 in notes payable, and $95,659 in accrued expenses. As of March 31, 2005, we had working capital of negative $89,937.
Net income in cash from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $45,488.
Cash flows from operating activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was negative $282,779, and cash flows from financing activities totaled $301,167 as a result of capital stock sales.
We believe that we have sufficient cash, other current assets and operating cash flow to sustain foreseeable organic growth throughout the next fiscal year. Management intends to seek additional needed funds through financings or other avenues such as loans, the sale and issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities, or other financing arrangements. We have no commitments for any additional funding and no assurance can be given that we will be able to raise additional funds on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Unless we can raise needed capital or experience a significant increase in income, we may need to curtail expenditures and cancel or delay our efforts to establish and expand our operations.
17
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to obtain additional financing when and as needed, and to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in their reports on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These circumstances could complicate our ability to raise additional capital. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts of our assets and liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In addition, any future capital raise by our company is likely to result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Acquisition of the Assets of Ron Snider & Associates Inc, doing business as Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park and Generally Known as Wild Animal Safari
On June 13, 2005, we completed our acquisition of Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park located in Pine Mountain, Georgia. At closing, we paid $350,000 in cash and a promissory note for $350,000. The promissory note bears interest at 7.5% per annum and is payable in eighty-three monthly payments of principal and interest of $5,368. We also entered into a Real Estate Purchase agreement for the underlying land and all buildings, improvements and fixtures of the park for $4,000,000. We paid $2,000,000 in cash at closing and issued a promissory note for $2,000,000. The note bears interest at 7.5% per annum and is payable in eighty-three monthly payments of principal and interest of $30,676. Both notes are secured by a first priority Security Agreement on the operating assets and a first Security Deed on the real estate. An agreement extension payment of $50,000 for extension of closing was also paid in addition to 50 ,000 shares of Company stock.
We have combined the acquired assets of Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park with other assets owned by us to form a new wholly-owned subsidiary that operates under the name Wild Animal Safari, Inc. The Wild Animal Safari park is located on 200 acres of a 500-acre plot, and includes a drive-through animal viewing area that opened in 1991. It is home to more than 1,500 animals from every continent (except Antarctica.) Most animals roam wild throughout a natural habitat of more than 200 acres; the total area utilized will be increased as further venues are added. In additional to availing themselves of the amenities described below, visitors to Wild Animal Safari are able to observe, photograph, and feed the animals from their own cars as they drive along the more than three miles of paved roads that run throughout the habitat area. Some animals are contained in special fenced areas or pens within natural habitat, and others are located in a more traditional zoo-like atmosphere.
In addition to the animal environments, the theme park contains a gift shop (currently being expanded and redesigned), a new restaurant that includes a Noble Roman’s Pizza and a Tuscano’s Italian Subs franchises which we purchased, and an ice cream parlor, an arcade, a picnic and group recreation area, lakes, a pavilion and concessions. The Georgia Wildlife Museum, located next to our petting zoo, features wildlife specimen native to Georgia recreated in natural-like settings. Visitors to the Park have increased every year, and during calendar year 2004 totaled approximately 125,000 people. The pre-existing operating management of Safari has been supplemented by corporate management for the new entities being brought to the enterprise by GFAM. The former principal owner of Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park continues to be available on a consulting basis.
Retail Facilities Surrounding The Idaho Center
The retail complex servicing The Idaho Center in Treasure Valley, Idaho, also is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great American Family Parks, and is known as Crossroads Convenience Center LLC. We will continue to operate the Crossroads Convenience Center facility. However, it is not intended to be our primary business. Our primary business objective is to expand our current parks operations to include additional theme parks and attractions rather than own facilities adjacent to entertainment facilities owned by others.
Competition
The theme park industry is highly competitive, highly fragmented, rapidly evolving, and subject to technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products. One of our competitors, Calloway Gardens, is located within five miles of our Wild Animal Safari park. Many of the Company’s current competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence as well as greater financial, technical, operational, marketing and other resources and experience than the Company has. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets the Company may not be able to compete successfully in such markets. The Company believes that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect the Company’s gross margins if the Company is not able to reduce costs commensurate with such price reductions. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for the Company to predict whether it will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar products offered or proposed to be offered by the Company. If the Company’s competitors were to provide better and more cost effective products, the Company’s business initiatives could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition to competing with other theme and amusement parks, our venues compete with other types of recreational venues and entertainment alternatives, including but not limited to movies, sports attractions, vacation travel and video games. There can be no assurance that our Company will successfully differentiate itself from these entertainment alternatives or that consumers will consider our entertainment offerings to be more appealing than those of our competitors.
19
Employees
As of July 25, 2005, we have 20 full time employees which includes our President, 15 part time employees, and engage consultants from time to time. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees and believe our relations with our employees are good.
Description Of Property
Our major real property holding is located in Pine Mountain, Georgia. Wild Animal Safari, Inc. is a 200-acre wild animal park as part of a 500-acre parcel owned by GFAM to be developed in totality. It has an appraised value of $3.4 million, with 2004 attendance in excess of 125,000. 2005 revenues are on pace to exceed 2004 revenues by 16 percent.
The Crossroads Convenience Center LLC. is located in Treasure Valley, Idaho, and is the primary retail and food services facility for The Idaho Center, a regional entertainment facility which hosts events including the nationally-acclaimed Snake River Stampede rodeo, horse events, state and regional athletic events, concerts by internationally renowned musical entertainers (such as Neil Diamond, Cher and Garth Brooks) and the CBA Idaho Stampede basketball team. The total property size is 1.5 acres and the entire property is valued at $1.7 million.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal, administrative, arbitral, governmental or other proceedings, actions or governmental investigations of any nature pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company, which could result in a loss to the Company. The Company is not subject to any order, judgment, injunction, rule or decree that has or could result in a Loss to the Company.

Compensation of Directors
The officers and directors of Great American Family Parks received no compensation paid by the Company during fiscal year 2003 or 2004. As set forth below, they are all major stockholders of Great American Family Parks and elected to forego compensation until such time as we have achieved the acquisition and commenced the operation of our first theme park. Upon the closing the acquisition of our first theme park, existing employment contracts for officers and directors were implemented. These agreements, described below, provide for compensation and certain corporate benefits for employees and board members.
Employment Agreements
On February 1, 2005, we entered into separate employment agreements with Larry Eastland, our President and CEO; with Dale Van Voorhis, our CFO; with James Meikle, the President of our Wild Animal Safari, Inc. subsidiary; and with Jack Klosterman, our Corporate Secretary and Treasurer. These agreements provide for base annual salaries of $120,000; $40,000; $60,000; and $40,000 respectively, as compensation for the part time employment of the aforementioned officers until a second theme park is acquired. Further, each agreement has a base term of three (3) years effective retroactively as of February 1, 2005. The agreements are thereafter renewable for additional periods of two (2) years, unless we give notice to the contrary. Upon our acquisition of a second theme park, said salaries will increase, respectively, to the following amounts: $170,000; $60,000; $100,000; $60,000. Upon the acquisition of additional theme parks, salaries will be reviewed with consideration given to resulting increased work and responsibility. We provide health insurance in the form of a Blue Cross Plan for Larry Eastland, Jane Klosterman, and their respective families.
22
In addition, Dr. Eastland is entitled to receive an annual cash bonus based upon a percentage of our pre-tax income (as defined therein) for each fiscal year covered by the employment agreement at a percentage of 2%. No bonus is payable unless and until the Company earns pre-tax income in excess of $500,000. Each of the employment agreements also provide for the payment of additional severance compensation, in amounts based on a formula of not less than three (3) times the executive's then current base salary, at any time during the term thereof when either of the following occurs: (i) the agreement is terminated by us without cause (as defined therein), or (ii) terminated by the executive due to a change in control (as defined therein). These agreements also entitle the officers to participate in the Stock Option Plans. Upon hiring additional marketing personnel, we may enter into additional employment agreements, which we anticipate may contain similar terms to our existing employment agreements.
We also entered into separate employment agreements with Jason Hutcherson and Philip Michael Miller in connection with our acquisition of the assets of Ron Snider & Associates, Inc. dba Wild Animal Safari, Inc.
Consulting Agreements
We have entered into a Consulting Agreement with Ronald E. Snider, which became effective upon closing of the acquisition of the Wild Animal Safari theme park. The Consulting Agreement provides that we will pay Snider the sum of $300,000 over a term of three years in monthly installments of $8,333.33, of which $4,163.33 will be paid in cash and the balance will be paid in our common stock.
Additionally, we have an on-going Investment Advisory Agreement with First Montauk Financial Group.
Additionally, we have entered into separate Public Relations Consulting Agreements with National Financial Communications Network, Inc. and Mark Wachs & Associates.
Stock Option And Award Plan
A Stock Option and Award Plan providing for incentive stock options and performance bonus awards for executives, employees, and directors was approved by our Board of Directors on February 1, 2005, and will be presented to the shareholders for approval. The Plan sets aside five million (5,000,000) shares for award of stock options, including qualified incentive stock options and of performance stock bonuses.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The stock being registered under this Form SB-2 is common stock of Great American Family Parks, having a par value of $0.001 per share. The total number of shares of common stock that we have authority to issue is Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) shares, par value of $0.001 per share. All of the common stock authorized under our Articles of Incorporation herein has equal voting rights and powers without restrictions in preference. The holder of any of our common stock shall possess voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes, subject to such limitations as may be imposed by law and by any provision of the Articles of Incorporation in the exercise of their voting power. The holders of our common stock shall have neither pre-emption nor dividend rights pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of Great American Family Parks.
The Articles of Incorporation also authorize ten million shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001 per share, none of which has been issued, and which is not part of this registration. The preferred stock is entitled to preference over the common stock with respect to the distribution of assets of Great American Family Parks in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of Great American Family Parks, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or in the event of the any other distribution of assets of Great American Family Parks among its stockholders for the purposes of winding-up affairs. The authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may be divided into and issued in designated series from time to time by one or more resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. The Directors, in their sole discretion, have the power to determine the relative powers, preferences, and right of each series of preferred stock.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Stockholder of the common stock of Great American Family Parks, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
§
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
36
§
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
§
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
§
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
§
privately negotiated transactions;
§
settlement of short sales;
§
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
§
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
§
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. One of the Selling Stockholders, First Montauk Securities Corp., is a registered broker dealer and NASD member firm. First Montauk served as placement agent in both of our recently completed private placement offerings and received, in addition to commissions, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 343,200 shares of our Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.30 per share in connection with our September 2004 offering and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,112,800 shares of our Common Stock with a n exercise price of $0.35 per share in connection with our June 2005 offering. The registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part includes the shares underlying the warrants held by First Montauk. In addition, in October of 2003, First Montauk was retained by Great Western Parks LLC as a financial advisor and consultant, for which it received stock compensation of 4..2% of Great Western Parks LLC. As a result of the acquisition of assets from Great Western Parks LLC, First Montauk and its designees currently own 1,268,400 shares of our common stock.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to re flect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock, however, they may elect to sell their shares through First Montauk Securities Corp. as described below. As a broker dealer who is also a selling shareholder, First Montauk may be deemed an underwriter with respect to the shares it may sell pursuant to this Prospectus.
37
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, the Selling Stockholders must sell the shares in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Selling Stockholders must sell the shares only if we have registered or qualified those shares for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and the selling shareholder complies with the exemption.
Great American Family Parks is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. Great American Family Parks has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each Selling Stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.
First Montauk has indicated to us its willingness to act as selling agent on behalf of the selling shareholders named in the Prospectus under "Selling Stockholders" that purchased our privately placed securities. All shares sold, if any, on behalf of selling shareholders by First Montauk would be in transactions executed by First Montauk on an agency basis and commissions charged to its customers in connection with each transaction shall not exceed a maximum of 4.5% of the gross proceeds. First Montauk does not have an underwriting agreement with us and/or the selling shareholders and no selling shareholders are required to execute transactions through First Montauk. In the event that there are other broker dealer firms involved in the distribution of securities on behalf of selling shareholders, the maximum commission or discount to be received will not be greater than 8% of the sale of any securities which were registered purs uant to this prospectus under SEC Rule 415.
NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling shareholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this Prospectus through a member of the NASD participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of the NASD and disclosing to the NASD the following:
§
it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates;
§
the complete details of how the selling shareholders shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;
§
whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and
§
in the event any of the securities offered by the selling shareholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by selling shareholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of the NASD or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of NASD for review.
No persons associated with us or the selling shareholders may participate in the distribution of the shares to be offered by selling shareholders unless they meet the safe harbor provisions of the SEC Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to exemption from registration as a broker/dealer.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
38
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
Any selling shareholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock or warrants owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.
The selling shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
At the time a selling shareholder makes a particular offer of shares we will, if required under applicable rules and regulations, distribute a Prospectus supplement that will set forth:
§
the number of shares that the Selling Holder is offering;
§
the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent;
§
the purchase price paid by any underwriter;
§
any discount, commission and other underwriter compensation;
§
discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer; and
§
the proposed selling price to the public.
We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any shares by the selling shareholders.

ORGANIZATION
Great American Family Parks, Inc. (GAFP) (name changed on December 24, 2003 from Royal Pacific Resources, Inc.) is a Nevada corporation formed during 2002 for the purpose of merging with Painted Deseret Uranium and Oil Company, Inc., a Washington corporation incorporated in 1954, with the merger being completed on July 25, 2002.
On December 23, 2003 GAFP completed the acquisition of all member interests in Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC (CCC) from Great Western Parks LLC by the issuance of 27,067,000 shares of its common capital stock, representing 91.4% of the outstanding stock after the acquisition, which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which CCC is considered to be theAacquirer@ of GAFP for reporting purposes. The outstanding stock of GAFP before the acquisition was 2,533,000 and after 29,600,000. The continuing operations of the business are those of CCC including its prior historical financial statements and the operations of GAFP from December 23, 2003. The financial statements show a retroactive restatement of CCC=s historical members= equity to reflect the equivalent number of shares of common stock issued in the acquisition.
Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC (CCC) was organized under the laws of the State of Idaho on June 18, 1998. CCC=s primary business activity is operating a retail convenience center, which includes a Chevron gasoline station, and a convenience store in Nampa, Idaho.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
CCC is a limited liability company with all tax attributes passing through to its members. Before the acquisition date of December 23, 2003, the income of CCC passed through to the former members. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements associated with the income of CCC prior to acquisition. After the acquisition by GAFP the income or loss of CCC passes through to GAFP, the sole member of CCC. On December 31, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary had a net operating loss available for carry forward of $393,773. The tax benefit of approximately $118,000 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful. The loss carryforward expires beginning in the 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements includes the accounts of GAFP and CCC. Revenues and expenses of GAFP are included for the period subsequent to the Company=s acquisition date of December 23, 2003 and includes the accounts of CCC from its inception. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Financial and Concentrations Risk
The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks except for the accounts receivable, however the Company considers the accounts to be fully collectable .
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment will be recognized in an amount determined by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts and notes payable are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. RECOGNIZED ADVANCE LOAN FEE
In 1999, the Company obtained a loan for the acquisition and construction of its property and improvements. The lending agency required various forms of collateral to secure the debt, including a second deed of trust on real property owned by a member of CCC. A value of $50,000 was placed on this collateral based on the value to the Company of the reduction of the interest rate on the loan because of the additional collateral. An asset and related member equity contribution to CCC was recorded.

6. INVESTMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
In September 1999, the Company received $107,520 as an advance for the construction of a service station facility from a fuel distributor under Chevron=s program Investment Incentive Program. Under this program, the Company is required to sell 1,680,000 gallons (theAbase volume@) of gasoline per year during the first four years of operation. If the Company sells less than the base volume, a repayment is required equal to $.02 per gallon times the deficiency. If the Company sells more than the base volume, the Company would receive an amount equal to $.02 per gallon times the excess with total payments including the initial advance not to exceed $160,000. After four years, no minimum gallons are required, and no further adjustments are made to th e incentive. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had not sold the minimum gallons and has made repayments totaling $31,177 covering its sales deficiency through December 2004.
If the Company discontinues the sale of Chevron branded products during the ten-year period after the start of operations (September 1999), the incentive advances under this program are required to be reimbursed, less 1/120 of such advance for each month elapsed during the ten-year period. Accordingly, the incentives are being amortized on a straight line basis over the ten year period and are included in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to fuel cost of goods sold.
7. CAPITAL STOCK
On the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement (see Note 1) the Company issued 27,067,000
shares of common stock in exchange for all of the member interests in Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC.
During 2003 the Company issued 600,000 restricted common shares for consulting services.
On September 27, 2004, the Company issued 2,984,400 restricted common shares for cash, and 2,059,200
warrants under Purchase Agreements dated June 10, 2004. Each warrant includes the right to purchase an additional common share at $.30 per share at any time within five years.
On December 24, 2003, the Company completed a reverse stock split of 6 outstanding shares for 1 share. This report has been prepared showing post split shares from inception.
8. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITHRELATED PARTIES
Officer- director=s and their controlled entities have acquired 24% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

9. CONTINGENCIES
Painted Desert (see organization above) owned or controlled properties on private and public lands in several states in the Western United States for purposes of exploring for and developing commercial mineral deposits. The Company=s efforts proved unsuccessful, and as of December 31, 1995, the Company had abandoned all of its interests in mineral and mining properties. The Company and its properties have been subject to a variety of federal and state regulations governing land use and environmental matters. The Company accrues liabilities relating to environmental damages and claims only when it is probable that such liabilities exist and their amounts can be reasonably estimated.
During the 1970's, the Company held leasehold interests in two mining properties known as the Silver Strike Mine and the Blue Star Prospect located in Shoshone County of Northern Idaho, on which the Company participated in various exploration and mining activities. The Silver Strike Mine and Blue Star Prospect claim areas are currently listed by the Environmental Protection Agency as potentially contaminated sites and sources for potential contamination of drainages leading into the Coeur d= Alene River Basin. The Company has not received any notification of a pending action or proceeding against the Company relating to environmental damages it may be responsible for. However, in recent years, certain other companies involved in mining activities on property interests upland of the Coeur d= Alene River Ba sin have been identified as potentially responsible parties under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, and have entered into consent decrees with the EPA and the state of Idaho, concerning environmental remediation obligations and damages to natural resources in the Coeur D=Alene River Basin.
As of March 31, 2005, the Company has not accrued any amounts for the potential liability associated with any environmental claims because any potential claim amount is undeterminable.
10. GOING CONCERN
The Company intends to continue the development of its business interests, however, there is insufficient working capital necessary to be successful in this effort and to service its debt which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company and its subsidiary has sufficient revenues to continue to operate an on-going company, however, it will require additional funding to acquire the new assets currently under agreement for purchase, and those contemplated in the future. It will seek funding through such equity and debt financing mechanisms, both public and private, as are available, and will continue to organize these sources to be in a position to take advantage of its acquisition opportunities, however, the Company will be able to operate for the coming year even if the funding necessary to complete the proposed acquisition fails.

1.
ORGANIZATION
Great American Family Parks, Inc. (GAFP) (name changed on December 24, 2003 from Royal Pacific Resources, Inc.) is a Nevada corporation formed during 2002 for the purpose of merging with Painted Deseret Uranium and Oil Company, Inc., a Washington corporation incorporated in 1954, with the merger being completed on July 25, 2002.
On December 23, 2003 GAFP completed the acquisition of all member interests in Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC (CCC) from Great Western Parks LLC by the issuance of 27,067,000 shares of its common capital stock, representing 91.4% of the outstanding stock after the acquisition, which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which CCC is considered to be the acquirer of GAFP for reporting purposes. The outstanding stock of GAFP before the acquisition was 2,533,000 and after 29,600,000. The continuing operations of the business are those of CCC including its prior historical financial statements and the operations of GAFP from December 23, 2003. The financial statements show a retroactive restatement of CCC’s historical members’ equity to reflect the equivalent number of shares of common stock issued in the acquisition.
Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC (CCC) was organized under the laws of the State of Idaho on June 18, 1998. CCC’s primary business activity is operating a retail convenience center, which includes a Chevron gasoline station, and a convenience store in Nampa, Idaho.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods

Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the completion of a service provided.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
CCC is a limited liability company with all tax attributes passing through to its members. Before the acquisition date of December 23, 2003, the income of CCC passed through to the former members. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements associated with the income of CCC prior to acquisition. After the acquisition by GAFP the income or loss of CCC passes through to GAFP, the sole member of CCC. On December 31, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary had a net operating loss available for carry forward of $347,324. The tax benefit of approximately $104,000 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful. The loss carryforward expires beginning in the 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, includes the accounts of GAFP and CCC. Revenues and expenses of GAFP are included for the period subsequent to the Company=s acquisition date of December 23, 2003 and includes the accounts of CCC from its inception. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Financial and Concentrations Risk
The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks except for the accounts receivable, however the Company considers the accounts to be fully collectable .
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to fifteen years. A summary is included below.
| Land | $ 180,000 |
| Building | 1,028,763 |
| Equipment | 146,912 |
| Leased equipment | 223,728 |
| Less accumulated depreciation | (531,833) |
| Net | $ 1,047,570 |
Inventory
Inventory consists of fuel, food, beverages, and other convenience store items, and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its major assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment will be recognized in an amount determined by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts and notes payable are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. RECOGNIZED ADVANCE LOAN FEE
In 1999, the Company obtained a loan for the acquisition and construction of its property and improvements. The lending agency required various forms of collateral to secure the debt, including a second deed of trust on real property owned by a member of CCC. A value of $50,000 was placed on this collateral based on the value to the Company of the reduction of the interest rate on the loan because of the additional collateral. An asset and related member equity contribution to CCC was recorded.

6. INVESTMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
In September 1999, the Company received $107,520 as an advance for the construction of a service station facility from a fuel distributor under Chevron=s program Investment Incentive Program. Under this program, the Company is required to sell 1,680,000 gallons (theAbase volume@) of gasoline per year during the first four years of operation. If the Company sells less than the base volume, a repayment is required equal to $.02 per gallon times the deficiency. If the Company sells more than the base volume, the Company would receive an amount equal to $.02 per gallon times the excess with total payments including the initial advance not to exceed $160,000. After four years, no minimum gallons are required, and no further adjustments are made to the incentive. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has not sold the minimum gallons and has made repayments totaling $31,177 covering its sales deficiency through December 2004.
If the Company discontinues the sale of Chevron branded products during the ten-year period after the start of operations (September 1999), the incentive advances under this program are required to be reimbursed, less 1/120 of such advance for each month elapsed during the ten-year period. Accordingly, the incentives are being amortized on a straight line basis over the ten year period and are included in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to fuel cost of goods sold.

9. CONTINGENCIES
Painted Desert (see organization above) owned or controlled properties on private and public lands in several states in the Western United States for purposes of exploring for and developing commercial mineral deposits. The Company’s efforts proved unsuccessful, and as of December 31, 1995, the Company had abandoned all of its interests in mineral and mining properties. The Company and its properties have been subject to a variety of federal and state regulations governing land use and environmental matters. The Company accrues liabilities relating to environmental damages and claims only when it is probable that such liabilities exist and their amounts can be reasonably estimated.
During the 1970's, the Company held leasehold interests in two mining properties known as the Silver Strike Mine and the Blue Star Prospect located in Shoshone County of Northern Idaho, on which the Company participated in various exploration and mining activities. The Silver Strike Mine and Blue Star Prospect claim areas are currently listed by the Environmental Protection Agency as potentially contaminated sites and sources for potential contamination of drainages leading into the Coeur d’ Alene River Basin. The Company has not received any notification of a pending action or proceeding against the Company relating to environmental damages it may be responsible for. However, in recent years, certain other companies involved in mining activities on property interests upland of the Coeur d’ Alene River Basin have been identified as potentially responsible parties under the Comprehensive E nvironmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, and have entered into consent decrees with the EPA and the state of Idaho, concerning environmental remediation obligations and damages to natural resources in the Coeur D’Alene River Basin.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company has not accrued any amounts for the potential liability associated with any environmental claims because any potential claim amount is undeterminable.
10. GOING CONCERN
The Company intends to continue the development of its business interests, however, there is insufficient working capital necessary to be successful in this effort and to service its debt which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company and its subsidiary has sufficient revenues to continue to operate an on-going company, however, it will require additional funding to acquire the new assets currently under agreement for purchase, and those contemplated in the future. It will seek funding through such equity and debt financing mechanisms, both public and private, as are available, and will continue to organize these sources to be in a position to take advantage of its acquisition opportunities, however, the Company will be able to operate for the coming year even if the funding necessary to complete the proposed acquisition fails.

1.
ORGANIZATION
Great American Family Parks, Inc. (GAFP) (name changed on December 24, 2003 from Royal Pacific Resources, Inc.) is a Nevada corporation formed during 2002 for the purpose of merging with Painted Deseret Uranium and Oil Company, Inc., a Washington corporation incorporated in 1954, with the merger being completed on July 25, 2002.
On December 23, 2003 GAFP completed the acquisition of Great Western Park, LLC (GWP), an Idaho limited liability company, by the issuance of 27,067,000 shares of its common capital stock, representing 91.4% of the outstanding stock of GAFP after the acquisition, and as part of the acquisition GAFP received all member interests in Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC (CCC), an Idaho limited liability company, which was the only asset held by GWP. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which GWP is considered to be theAacquirer@ of GAFP for reporting purposes. The outstanding stock of GAFP before the acquisition was 2,533,000 and after 29,600,000. The continuing operations of the business are those of CCC including its prior historical financial statements and the operations of GAFP from December 23, 2003. The financial statements show a retroactive restatement of CCC=s historical members= equity to reflect the equivalent number of shares of common stock issued in the acquisition.
Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC (CCC) was organized under the laws of the State of Idaho on June 18, 1998. CCC=s primary business activity is operating a retail convenience center, which includes a Chevron gasoline station, and a convenience store in Nampa, Idaho.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
CCC is a limited liability company with all tax attributes passing through to its members. Before the acquisition date of December 23, 2003, the income of CCC passed through to the former members. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements associated with the income of CCC prior to acquisition. After the acquisition by GAFP the income or loss of CCC passes through to GAFP, the sole member of CCC. On December 31, 2003, the Company and its subsidiary had a net operating loss available for carry forward of $44,460. The tax benefit of approximately $13,000 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful since there was a substantial change in the stockholders of the Company. The loss carryforward expires beginning in the 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, includes the accounts of GAFP and CCC. Revenues and expenses of GAFP are included for the period subsequent to the Company=s acquisition date of December 23, 2003 and includes the accounts of CCC from its inception. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Financial and Concentrations Risk
The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks except for the accounts receivable, however the Company considers the accounts to be fully collectable .
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to fifteen years. A summary is included below.
Land | $ 180,000 |
Building | 1,028,763 |
Equipment | 132,506 |

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its major assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment will be recognized in an amount determined by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts and notes payable are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. RECOGNIZED ADVANCE LOAN FEE
In 1999, the Company obtained a loan for the acquisition and construction of its property and improvements. The lending agency required various forms of collateral to secure the debt, including a second deed of trust on real property owned by a member of CCC. A value of $50,000 was placed on this collateral based on the value to the Company of the reduction of the interest rate on the loan because of the additional collateral. An asset and related member equity contribution to CCC was recorded.

6. INVESTMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
In September 1999, the Company received $107,520 as an advance for the construction of a service station facility from a fuel distributor under Chevron=s program Investment Incentive Program. Under this program, the Company is required to sell 1,680,000 gallons (theAbase volume@) of gasoline per year during the first four years of operation. If the Company sells less than the base volume, a repayment is required equal to $.02 per gallon times the deficiency. If the Company sells more than the base volume, the Company would receive an amount equal to $.02 per gallon times the excess with total payments including the initial advance not to exceed $160,000. After four years, no minimum gallons are required, and no further adjustments are made to the incentive. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has not sold the minimum gallons and has made repayments totaling $25,146 covering its sales deficiency through September 2003.

However, in recent years, certain other companies involved in mining activities on property interests upland of the Coeur d= Alene River Basin have been identified as potentially responsible parties under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, and have entered into consent decrees with the EPA and the state of Idaho, concerning environmental remediation obligations and damages to natural resources in the Coeur D=Alene River Basin.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company has not accrued any amounts for potential liability associated with any environmental claims because any potential claim amount is undeterminable.

PINE MOUNTAIN, GA 31822-9030
We have compiled the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities, and equity-income tax basis of RON SNIDER & ASSOCIATES, INC. (an S Corporation) as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of revenues and expenses-income tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These financial statements have been prepared on the accounting basis used by the Company for income tax purposes, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.
A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements information that is the representation of the management. We have not audited or reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.
The company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes because the Company does not incur federal or state income taxes. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the stockholders’ personal income tax returns and are taxed based on their personal tax strategies. However, we did become aware of a departure from the income tax basis of accounting that is described in the following paragraph.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures ordinarily included in the financial statements prepared on the income tax basis of accounting. If the omitted disclosures were included in the financial statements they might influence user’s conclusions about the Company’s assets, liabilities, equity revenues and expenses. Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.

Note 6. REISSUE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The original independent auditor’s report dated January 12, 2005 contained the following report modification:
We were not engaged to apply audit procedures to the prior year balances of property and equipment and accumulated depreciation. We were unable to form an opinion regarding the amounts at which property and equipment and accumulated depreciation are recorded in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2003 (stated at $1,202,803 and $873,690, respectively), or the amount of depreciation expense for the year then ended (stated at $55,431).
In our opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had prior year records concerning property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation been subjected to audit procedures, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ron Snider & Associates, Inc. d/b/a Wild Animal Safari as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Subsequent to the date of the original independent auditor’s report, the auditor was engaged to apply audit procedures to the prior year balances of property and equipment and accumulated depreciation. The audit procedures were completed on June 10, 2005, thereby allowing the independent auditor to remove the original report modification.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
The 2002 audit was performed for the previous control group of Royal Pacific Resources, Inc. (now Great American Family Parks, Inc.) by DeCoria, Maichel & Teague, PS of Spokane, Washington. Neither the principals of Great American Family Parks nor any subsidiaries had any relationship with DeCoria, Maichel & Teague, PS, and therefore, Great American Family Parks looked to retain an auditing firm with which we could create a relationship based on our business plan.
In June 2004 Great American Family Parks commenced a private placement of securities to raise $500,000, with an associated Private Placement Memorandum. One of the conditions of the Private Placement Memorandum was that Great American Family Parks was required to file an SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than forty-five (45) days from the final closing of the subscription proceeds of the Private Placement Memorandum.
It was, therefore, necessary for us to engage an auditing firm to complete an audit for us in 2003. Aronson & Co. was chosen by the our Board of Directors primarily because Aronson & Co. had performed an audit for a subsidiary of Great American Family Parks for 2001-2002 before the subsidiary was acquired by Great American Family Parks.
In September 2004 Aronson & Co. agreed to perform an audit for us for 2003. At that time, Aronson & Co. stated both that it was very busy, and that its work for us for 2003 could only be to the extent of the services to be provided. For these reasons, delay resulted, and we could not comply with the condition from the Private Placement Memorandum documents requiring us to file an SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 45 days from the final closing of the proceeds of the Private Placement Memorandum.
On September 28, 2004, final proceeds for the subscription of the Private Placement Memorandum were disbursed to Great American Family Parks, thereby making November 12, 2004 the 45th (final) day to comply with a deadline owed subscribers of the Private Placement Memorandum. .
On February 1, 2005, our Board of Directors convened and, as an emergency item on the agenda for the meeting, directed our President either to have the audit for Great American Family Parks for 2003 completed by Aronson & Co. forthwith; or, if necessary, in order to protect us, to recommend the services of another accounting firm able to complete the audit for us for 2003 in a timely fashion, absent those delays that might be caused by specific accounting issues. As a result of the Board of Directors’ decision, both Aronson & Co. and Great American Family Parks then agreed that it was necessary to find another auditor.
On February 7, 2005, after considering various accounting firms, we engaged Madsen & Associates to complete the 2003 audit. Aronson & Co. immediately made itself available to Madsen & Co. for consultation concerning the preparation by Madsen & Co. of the audit for the Company for 2003, and also sent all documents including all work papers to Madsen & Co.
During the two most recent years, Madsen & Associates has remained our sole auditor for purposes of securities-related auditing. Additionally, Gay and Joseph of LaGrange, Georgia has been the sole auditor for Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park, and remains such for Wild Animal Safari, Inc. Their work product as completed is forwarded to us and to Madsen & Associates for integration into our consolidated financial statement.
PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our right and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
111
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdic tion the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.
The following table sets forth an itemization of all estimated expenses, all of which we will pay, in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered:
Nature of Expense Amount ------------------------ ------------- SEC Registration fee $4,320.68 Accounting fees and expenses 20,000.00* Legal fees and expenses 50,000.00* Miscellaneous 679.32* ---------------- TOTAL $75,000.00* ===============
*Estimated |
Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
Except as set forth below, there were no sales of unregistered securities by Great American Family Parks, Inc. during the past three (3) years:
On June 24, 2005, the Company completed a private offering of common stock and warrants to accredited and institutional investors. The offering resulted in the sale of 11,128,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 11,128,000 shares of our common stock for which the Company received a net sum of $3,338,400.
On June 13, 2005 the Company acquired the assets of Ron Snider & Associates, Inc. (aka Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park). As part of that transaction, the Company paid 50,000 in shares at closing for the Third Extension of the two Agreements. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay to Ron Snider personally 150,000 in shares as one half of a three year consulting contract, said shares to be paid at the beginning of each of the three years in three equal parts. Also, as part of the purchase agreement, the Company paid to Jason Hutcherson and Philip Michael Miller 10,000 common shares each of the Company’s stock.
On September 28, 2004, the Company completed a private offering of common stock and warrants to accredited and institutional investors. The offering resulted in the sale of 1,716,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,716,000 shares of our common stock for which the Company received a net sum of $363,583.
On December 23, 2003 Great American Family Parks completed the acquisition of all member interests in Crossroads Convenience Center, LLC from Great Western Parks LLC by the issuance of 27,067,000 shares of its common capital stock.
On December 19, 2003 the Company issued 600,000 restricted common shares to two individuals for consulting services.
* All of the above offerings and sales were deemed to be exempt under rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were accredited investors, business associates of Great American Family Parks or executive officers of Great American Family Parks, and transfer was restricted by Great American Family Parks in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the above-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that all of the above-referenced persons were accredited or sophisticated investors, and that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore, all of the above-referenced person s were provided with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
