PREMIER PARKS INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
1. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations which follows these notes contains additional information on the
results of operations and the financial position of the Company. Those
comments should be read in conjunction with these notes. The Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 includes
additional information about the Company, its operations and its financial
position, and should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q.
2. The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the
results for the periods presented.
3. Results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 are not
indicative of the results expected for the full year. In particular, the
Company's theme park operations contribute most of their annual revenue
during the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day each year, while substantial
operating and other expenses are incurred before those operations commence.
4. Pursuant to a merger agreement, the Company acquired Funtime Parks, Inc., a
company owning three regional theme parks on August 15, 1995 for
approximately $60 million (the"Funtime Acquisition"). To fund the
acquisition, the Company issued $90 million aggregate principal amount of 12%
Senior Notes due 2003 ("Notes") and $20 million of convertible Preferred
Stock and converted approximately $9 million of previously existing
indebtedness into Company Common Stock. Except in the case of a Change of
Control ( as defined in the indenture relating to the Notes) and certain
other circumstances, no principal payment on the Notes is due and payable
prior to maturity (August 15, 2003). The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase.
5. On April 4, 1996, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Company's Common and Preferred stock and the Company's board of directors
approved a one-for-five reverse stock split effective May 6, 1996. The par
value of the Common Stock was increased to $.05 per share from $.01 per
share. Additionally, the authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company
were reduced to 30,000,000. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect the
reverse stock split as if it had occurred as of the earliest date presented.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)
Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
-----------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 1996 vs. three months ended March 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating revenues were $2.4 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared
to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1995. This increase is attributable to
revenues generated by the three parks acquired in the Funtime Acquisition (the
"New Parks"). This increase in revenues was offset slightly due to the fact that
season pass sales for the parks owned in the first quarter of 1995 were down
$0.2 million from the first quarter of 1995. Operating expenses increased during
the first quarter of 1996 from $1.7 million in 1995 to $5.0 million. Of this
increase, $3.0 million relates directly to expenses incurred by the New Parks
and $0.3 million is due to the earlier opening of Frontier City, the Company's
theme park located in Oklahoma City. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased from $0.9 million in the first quarter of 1995 to $2.0
million during the first quarter of 1996. Of this increase, $0.9 million
relates to costs incurred by the New Parks, and $0.2 million is attributable
to additional marketing dollars expended earlier in 1996 than in 1995 due to
the earlier opening of Frontier City. Depreciation expense increased $1.1
million primarily as a result of the recognition of depreciation and
amortization expense from the New Parks and to a lesser extent as a result
of the ongoing capital program at the Company's theme parks. Interest expense
increased $2.1 million related to the Notes. The effective tax rate used to
calculate the provision for income tax benefit was approximately 41% in the
first quarter of 1996 compared to approximately 40% in the comparable quarter
of 1995.
Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's theme park operations, most
of the Company's revenues are generated from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND RESOURCES
At March 31, 1996, the Company's indebtedness (including capitalized leases)
aggregated $94.3 million, of which approximately $1.1 million matures prior to
March 31, 1997. In addition, subsequent to March 31, the Company has borrowed $1
million under its Senior Credit Facility and will make additional borrowings
thereunder in the second quarter. Amounts outstanding under the Facility must be
repaid in full for 45 consecutive days prior to November 1, 1997. The Company
anticipates repaying current indebtedness from funds generated from operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company used net cash of
$10.5 million in operating activities. Included in the net cash flows used in
operating activities for this period was the $5.4 million semi-annual interest
payment on the Company's $90.0 million Notes made on February 15. The remainder
of the net cash used in operating activities related to the Company's annual
maintenance and park pre-opening operating expenses. Net cash used in investing
activities in the first quarter of 1996 increased $5.7 million from the same
period in 1995, substantially all of which constituted capital expenditures. The
Company continues to

-----------------------------------------------
implement a capital improvement program for its parks pursuant to which it will
expend approximately $24 million for the 1996 season. Approximately $18 million
of this amount will be spent on additions to the New Parks, which have lacked
sustained capital improvements over the last several seasons. As of March 31,
1996, the Company had spent $12.5 million in capital improvements for the 1996
season (including certain amounts in the fourth quarter of 1995 after
completion of the 1995 season). The Company expects to fund the balance of its
planned capital expenditures for the season from the remaining proceeds of the
Notes, from funds generated from operations, and from funds available under the
Company's Senior Credit Facility.
The Company's liquidity could be adversely affected by any event or
condition, such as inclement weather that significantly reduces attendance at
any of its parks.
