NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Month Periods Ending June 30, 1997 and 1996
The accompanying unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered
necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a
normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended June 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending March 31, 1998. The enclosed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March
31, 1997.
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company operates in one business segment, the ownership and operation of
Flagg Ranch, a full-service resort motel and trailer park located in the John D.
Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway, approximately four miles north of Grand Teton
National Park and two miles south of the southern entrance to Yellowstone
National Park.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of International Leisure Hosts, Ltd., and Lewis & Clark Lodge, its
wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of aggregate cost (first-in,
first-out basis) or market.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the
estimated useful lives, which range from 5 years to 40 years for such assets.
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the
lesser of the estimated useful life of the related asset or the term of the
lease.
Income taxes have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes have been provided for the temporary
differences between financial statement and income tax reporting on certain
transactions.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding was 694,577 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and
694,677 shares for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
Statements of Cash Flows - For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash in banks, money market funds,
and certificates of deposit with initial maturities of three months or less.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company has estimated the
fair value of its financial instruments using available market data. However,
considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop
estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimates of fair values. The
carrying values of cash, receivables, lines of credit, accounts payable, accrued
expenses, and long-term debt approximate fair values due to the short-term
maturities or market rates of interest.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996
financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.
2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company receives its operating authorization from the National Park Service
("NPS"). The NPS Contract (the "Contract") which became effective on January 1,
1990, will expire on December 31, 2009. Under the terms of the Contract, prior
to December 31, 1999, the Company is required to move its existing 54-unit
riverside motel from its current location to the high ground above the river, to
provide for new employee housing and make certain other improvements. If the
Company chooses to meet these requirements by moving the riverside motel and
converting it into employee housing plus building additional employee housing
and a new employee dining facility, then the cost is estimated to be between
$2,400,000 and $2,800,000 depending on the number of employee housing units and
the extent of additional improvements required by the NPS. If the Company builds
new lodging units to replace the 54-unit riverside motel, the additional cost to
build these units will be between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000. This would result
in a total cost of relocation and new construction combined of between
$3,400,000 and $4,000,000.
The fee expense to the NPS under the Contract is calculated at 2% of gross
receipts (as defined), subject to review and possible adjustment every five
years. For the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, this fee amounted to
$14,130 and $11,753, respectively.
Flagg Ranch faces competition from hotels, camping areas and trailer facilities
in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, as well as from a large number of
hotels and motels in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, offering some facilities which
are similar to those offered by Flagg Ranch. In addition, the business of Flagg
Ranch is susceptible to weather conditions and unfavorable trends in the economy
as a whole. Business could be significantly affected depending upon actions
which might be taken by the NPS if cutbacks are made to their budget. If the NPS
decides to close Yellowstone National Park for the winter months, then Flagg
Ranch would have to discontinue its winter operations. NPS budget cutbacks could
also negatively impact the length of the summer season and the number of
visitors to the Parks and have a corresponding negative impact on Flagg Ranch
revenues.
On May 20, 1997, the Fund for Animals, Biodiversity Legal Foundation et. al.
filed a lawsuit against the NPS challenging the action of the NPS regarding
winter use of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The plaintiffs have
asked the Federal Court to stop winter activities, primarily snowmobiling and
related snow grooming, until environmental impacts are documented. If the
Federal Court were to suspend or
terminate winter activities in Yellowstone National Park, then Flagg Ranch would
have to suspend or discontinue its winter operations.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES AND RELATED
PARTIES
Included in operating expenses and general and administrative expenses for the
quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, are management fees and administrative
expenses of approximately $71,000, and $91,000, respectively, paid to affiliated
companies. All affiliated companies referred to in these financial statements
are owned by family members of Elizabeth A. Nicoli, who are the majority owners
of the Company.
The Company leases snowmobiles under short-term leases from an affiliated
company. As of June 30, 1997 the Company owed the affiliated company $163,209
relating to this lease from the prior year. As of July 31, 1997, this liability
has been paid in full.
4. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt as of June 30, 1997 consists of the following:
Bank credit facility which provides maximum borrowings of $500,000, draw
period extended from September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1997, monthly
interest payments at prime plus .5% (9% at June 30, 1997), principal

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The statements contained in this Report regarding management's anticipation of
the Company's facility completion schedules, quality of facilities, fulfillment
of National Park Service requirements, consumer response to marketing efforts,
ability to offset inflation and adequacy of financing, constitute
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management's anticipation is based upon
assumptions regarding levels of competition, acceptance of facilities by
consumers, favorable weather conditions, ability to complete facility
construction, the market in which the Company operates, the stability of the
economy and stability of the regulatory environment. Any of these assumptions
could prove inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that the
forward-looking information will prove to be accurate.
The Company's net loss for the first quarter ended June 30, 1997, was $139,000
($.20 per share). This compares to a net loss of $86,000 ($.12 per share) for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The $53,000 decline in income was due primarily
to increased costs associated with operating the new facilities at Flagg Ranch.
Changes to the Company's revenues and expenses for the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and June 30, 1996 are summarized below. All references to years represent
quarters ending June 30 of stated year.
Flagg Ranch, the principal business of the Company, is operated as a seasonal
resort. The two seasons coincide with the opening and closing dates of
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The summer season runs from
approximately May 15 through October 15 and the winter season runs from late
December through mid-March. Therefore, the first quarter consists of only
forty-five days of operations.
Revenues
- --------
Total revenues for 1997 increased by $97,000 or 15% from 1996. Of this increase,
$73,000 was from motel and cabin rentals, $19,000 from food services, $15,000
from float trip revenue, $8,000 from horse rental revenue and $7,000 in
miscellaneous income. Decreases of $15,000 in RV park rentals, $8,000 in Gift
shop sales, and $2,000 in grocery store sales offset the above increases. The
primary reason for the increase in motel and cabin rentals is the additional 42
new cabin units which opened in December 1996. This represents approximately a
40% increase in available rental units over last year. The primary reason for
the decline in RV park rentals was a decline in the number of recreational
vehicle and tent sites available for rent to the public. On a temporary basis,
approximately twenty-five recreational vehicle sites and one tent site are being
utilized by construction workers and employees during the construction of new
facilities at Flagg Ranch.
Expenses
- --------
The ratio of cost of merchandise sold to sales of merchandise was 64% in 1997 as
compared to 60% in 1996. Operating expenses increased by $196,000 or 47% in 1997
as compared to 1996. The ratio of operating expenses to total revenue increased
to 80% in 1997 from 63% in 1996. The primary increase in operating expenses was
a $90,000 increase in labor costs. This was partially attributable to the early
adoption of the increase in the minimum wage which will take effect on September
1, 1997. In addition, the labor costs increased due to the 42 additional new
lodging units. Other increases in operating expenses included $36,000 related to
river float trips and horseback riding operations, $17,000 in repairs and
maintenance, $12,000 in supplies, $8,000 in utilities,
$6,000 in insurance, $5,000 in advertising, $4,000 in property taxes and $18,000
in other miscellaneous expenses. The revenues from river float trips and
horseback riding operations were up 72% in the first quarter resulting in the
related increases in operating expenses. The other increases in operating
expenses related primarily to the increased costs associated with the new 42
cabin units combined with costs associated with flood control due to the
unusually high levels of the Snake River this past spring.
Inflation
- ---------
The Company expects that it will be able to offset increased costs and expenses,
principally labor, caused by inflation, by increasing prices on its services
with minimal effect on operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 the Company incurred costs of
approximately $976,000 to substantially complete construction of the 42 new
cabins. When completed, the total cost of the cabins will be approximately
$1,320,000. In addition, the Company incurred costs of approximately $214,000
relating to construction of new laundry and maintenance facilities, employee
housing, and other improvements required under the NPS contract during the past
fiscal year. During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred costs
of $112,000 related to the above construction. As result, the working capital
decreased to a negative $867,000 at June 30, 1997 from a negative $118,000 at
June 30, 1996. The Company plans to incur additional costs of approximately
$103,000 in the second quarter related to the above construction projects.
The company plans to incur additional costs of between $3,400,000 and $4,000,000
prior to December 31, 1999 to construct new laundry and maintenance facilities,
new employee housing units, new motel units replacing the existing 54-unit
riverside motel complex and other improvements required under the NPS Contract.
The Company intends to fund these improvements through existing cash funds and
cash generated from operations, plus additional borrowings from lenders. Cash
generated from operations was $430,000, $139,000, and $766,000 in fiscal years
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash generated from operations for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $220,000. The Company has two credit facilities
with a bank. The first credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of
$500,000 with a draw period to September 30, 1997. Principal payments begin on
October 30, 1997 in 60 equal monthly installments, maturing on September 30,
2002. As of June 30, 1997 the Company had borrowed $495,000 on this credit
facility. The second credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $500,000
and matures on September 30, 1997. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had borrowed
$500,000 on this credit facility.
