NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION | |
Parks! America, Inc. (“Parks!” or the “Company”) was 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 December 19, 2003, Royal Pacific Resources, Inc. acquired the assets of Great Western Parks LLC pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement that resulted in the Company assuming control and changing the corporate name to Great American Family Parks, Inc. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Great Western Parks was considered to be the acquirer of Royal Pacific Resources for reporting purposes. The Company’s common stock outstanding increased from 2,533,000 to 29,600,000 as a result of the acquisition. On June 11, 2008, the Company changed its name from Great American Family Parks, Inc. to Parks! America, Inc. | |
The Company owns and operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries two regional theme parks and is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating local and regional theme parks and attractions in the United States. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries are Wild Animal Safari, Inc. a Georgia corporation (“Wild Animal – Georgia”) and Wild Animal, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Wild Animal – Missouri”). Wild Animal – Georgia owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park in Pine Mountain, Georgia (the “Georgia Park”). Wild Animal – Missouri owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park located in Strafford, Missouri (the “Missouri Park”). On June 13, 2005, the Company acquired the Georgia Park and on March 5, 2008, the Company acquired the Missouri Park. | |
The Parks are open year round but experience increased seasonal attendance during the months of April through August. On a combined basis, net sales for the third and fourth quarter of the last two fiscal years represented approximately 70% of annual net sales. |

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation: The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods set forth herein. In the opinion of management interim results reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, and are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full fiscal year. | ||||||||
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2013. | ||||||||
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (Wild Animal-Georgia and Wild Animal-Missouri). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||
Accounting Method: The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting. | ||||||||
Estimates and Assumptions: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP. 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. | ||||||||
Uncertainties: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The January 9, 2013 refinancing of all the Company’s then outstanding debt lowered the Company’s required annual debt service payments by approximately $174,000, see “NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT” for more information. Management believes this refinancing provides the Company additional margin to continue to fund its operations and meet its debt service obligations. However, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern during the next twelve months continues to depend on the ability of the Company to generate revenues from operations, to maintain its existing sources of capital and to meet its existing debt service obligations or obtain additional sources of capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. | ||||||||
Fiscal Year End: The Company’s fiscal year-end is the Sunday closest to September 30, and its quarterly close dates are also determined by the Sunday closest to the end of each quarterly reporting period. For the 2014 fiscal year, September 28 will be the last Sunday, and for 2013 fiscal year, September 29 was the last Sunday. This fiscal calendar aligns the Company’s fiscal periods more closely with the seasonality of its business. The high season typically ends after the Labor Day holiday weekend. The period from October through early March is geared towards maintenance and preparation for the next busy season, which typically begins at Spring Break and runs through Labor Day. | ||||||||
Reclassifications: Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements. | ||||||||
Financial and Concentrations Risk: The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. | ||||||||
Trade Accounts Receivable: The Parks are cash businesses; therefore, the Company typically carries little or no accounts receivable. As of December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $23,975 and $10,875 in accounts receivable, respectively, primarily from animal sales. | ||||||||
Inventory: Inventory consists of park supplies, and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are reviewed and reconciled annually, because inventory levels turn over rapidly. | ||||||||
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to forty years. A summary is included below. | ||||||||

Other Intangible assets: Other intangible assets include franchising fees, loan fees, payroll software, which are reported at cost. Loan fees are amortized over the life of the respective loan, currently 20 years for the term loan and seven years for the line-of-credit. See “NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT” for more information. Franchising fees are amortized over a period of 60 months and payroll software over a period of 36 months. | ||||||||
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 impaired, then 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 are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities. Securities that are publicly traded are valued at their fair market value based as of the balance sheet date presented. | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition: The major source of income is received from Park admissions. Park revenues from admission fees are recognized upon receipt of the cash at the time of our customers’ visit to the Parks. Park ticket sales are typically not made in advance. Short-term seasonal passes are sold primarily during the summer season and are negligible to our results of operations and are not material. The Company has developed a business of selling surplus animals created from the natural breeding process that occurs within the parks. All animal sales are reported as a separate line item. | ||||||||
Advertising and Market Development: The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. | ||||||||
Share-Based Compensation: Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation under recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718 and as permitted under APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, which recognizes share-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period associated with the grant. ASC 718 requires that cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation cost recognized for options exercised be classified as cash inflows from financing activities and cash outflows from operating activities. The Company also applies ASC 718 and EITF No. 96-18 for share-based compensation to non-employees. No activity has occurred in relation to stock options during any period presented. The Company awards shares to its Board of Directors for service on the Board. The shares issued to the Board are “restricted” and are not to be re-sold unless an exemption is available, such as the exemption afforded by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense based on the fair market value at time of the grant. Each director is typically granted 25,000 restricted shares annually, usually toward the end of the calendar year. | ||||||||
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 the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. Management periodically reviews the Company’s deferred tax assets to determine whether their value can be realized based on available evidence. A valuation allowance is established when management believes it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s income tax provision in the period of change. | ||||||||
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 anti-dilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report. | ||||||||
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period. | ||||||||
Dividend Policy: The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends. | ||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: The Company does not expect recently issued accounting standards or interpretations to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures. | ||||||||

The minimum required monthly payment is approximately $26,343 during the first five years of the Refinancing Loan term. | |||||
The closing costs for the Refinancing Loan totaled $175,369 and are being amortized over the 20-year life of the loan.

For the three month period ended December 29, 2013, the Company has reported a pre-tax loss of $227,970. For the year ending September 28, 2014, the Company expects to generate pre-tax income and expects to utilize a portion of its Federal net tax operating loss carry-forwards to offset any Federal taxable income in its 2014 fiscal year. The Company expects to generate 2014 fiscal year income that will be subject to State of Georgia income taxes at a rate of approximately 6%. | |
The cumulative Federal net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $3,956,000 at September 29, 2013 and will expire beginning in the year 2026. The net deferred tax asset generated by the Federal net operating loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $3,956,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, Federal net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years. | |

The Company manages its operations on an individual location basis. Discrete financial information is maintained for each Park and provided to management for review and as a basis for decision-making. The primary performance measures used to allocate resources are Park earnings before interest and tax expense, and free cash flow. This measure of operating profit is used to gauge segment performance because management believes this measure is the most indicative of performance trends and the overall earnings potential of each reportable segment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (POLICIES) | ' | |||||||
Basis of Presentation | ' | |||||||
Basis of Presentation: The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods set forth herein. In the opinion of management interim results reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, and are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full fiscal year. | ||||||||
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2013. | ||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ' | |||||||
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (Wild Animal-Georgia and Wild Animal-Missouri). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||
Accounting Method | ' | |||||||
Accounting Method: The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting. | ||||||||
Estimates and Assumptions | ' | |||||||
Estimates and Assumptions: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP. 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. | ||||||||
Uncertainties | ' | |||||||
Uncertainties: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The January 9, 2013 refinancing of all the Company’s then outstanding debt lowered the Company’s required annual debt service payments by approximately $174,000, see “NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT” for more information. Management believes this refinancing provides the Company additional margin to continue to fund its operations and meet its debt service obligations. However, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern during the next twelve months continues to depend on the ability of the Company to generate revenues from operations, to maintain its existing sources of capital and to meet its existing debt service obligations or obtain additional sources of capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. | ||||||||
Fiscal Year End | ' | |||||||
Fiscal Year End: The Company’s fiscal year-end is the Sunday closest to September 30, and its quarterly close dates are also determined by the Sunday closest to the end of each quarterly reporting period. For the 2014 fiscal year, September 28 will be the last Sunday, and for 2013 fiscal year, September 29 was the last Sunday. This fiscal calendar aligns the Company’s fiscal periods more closely with the seasonality of its business. The high season typically ends after the Labor Day holiday weekend. The period from October through early March is geared towards maintenance and preparation for the next busy season, which typically begins at Spring Break and runs through Labor Day. | ||||||||
Reclassification, Policy | ' | |||||||
Reclassifications: Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements. | ||||||||
Financial and Concentrations Risk | ' | |||||||
Financial and Concentrations Risk: The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. | ||||||||
Trade Accounts Receivable | ' | |||||||
Trade Accounts Receivable: The Parks are cash businesses; therefore, the Company typically carries little or no accounts receivable. As of December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $23,975 and $10,875 in accounts receivable, respectively, primarily from animal sales. | ||||||||
Inventory Policy | ' | |||||||
Inventory: Inventory consists of park supplies, and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are reviewed and reconciled annually, because inventory levels turn over rapidly. | ||||||||
Property and Equipment | ' | |||||||
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to forty years. A summary is included below. | ||||||||
December 29, 2013 | 29-Sep-13 | Depreciable Lives | ||||||

Other Intangible assets | ' | |||||||
Other Intangible assets: Other intangible assets include franchising fees, loan fees, payroll software, which are reported at cost. Loan fees are amortized over the life of the respective loan, currently 20 years for the term loan and seven years for the line-of-credit. See “NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT” for more information. Franchising fees are amortized over a period of 60 months and payroll software over a period of 36 months. | ||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' | |||||||
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 impaired, then impairment will be recognized in an amount determined by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. | ||||||||
Financial Instruments | ' | |||||||
Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities. Securities that are publicly traded are valued at their fair market value based as of the balance sheet date presented. | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | |||||||
Revenue Recognition: The major source of income is received from Park admissions. Park revenues from admission fees are recognized upon receipt of the cash at the time of our customers’ visit to the Parks. Park ticket sales are typically not made in advance. Short-term seasonal passes are sold primarily during the summer season and are negligible to our results of operations and are not material. The Company has developed a business of selling surplus animals created from the natural breeding process that occurs within the parks. All animal sales are reported as a separate line item. | ||||||||
Advertising and Market Development | ' | |||||||
Advertising and Market Development: The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. | ||||||||
Share Based Compensation | ' | |||||||
Share-Based Compensation: Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation under recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718 and as permitted under APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, which recognizes share-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period associated with the grant. ASC 718 requires that cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation cost recognized for options exercised be classified as cash inflows from financing activities and cash outflows from operating activities. The Company also applies ASC 718 and EITF No. 96-18 for share-based compensation to non-employees. No activity has occurred in relation to stock options during any period presented. The Company awards shares to its Board of Directors for service on the Board. The shares issued to the Board are “restricted” and are not to be re-sold unless an exemption is available, such as the exemption afforded by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense based on the fair market value at time of the grant. Each director is typically granted 25,000 restricted shares annually, usually toward the end of the calendar year. | ||||||||
Income Taxes Policy | ' | |||||||
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 the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. Management periodically reviews the Company’s deferred tax assets to determine whether their value can be realized based on available evidence. A valuation allowance is established when management believes it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s income tax provision in the period of change. | ||||||||
Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) Per Share | ' | |||||||
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 anti-dilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report. | ||||||||
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period. | ||||||||
Dividend Policy | ' | |||||||
Dividend Policy: The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends. | ||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' | |||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: The Company does not expect recently issued accounting standards or interpretations to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures. |
