NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Month Periods Ending December 31, 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 and are of a normal
recurring nature. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 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 operation under a concession
contract with the National Park Service of Flagg Ranch Village, a full-service
resort motel and RV/campground 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 income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
The weighted average number of common shares
Page 6 of 12
outstanding was 694,577 and 694,624 shares for the nine months ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 694,577 shares for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996.
Earnings Per Share - In March, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." The Statement requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the earnings statement and requires a
reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted EPS
calculations. The Statement will be effective for the Company's 1998 fiscal
year. Adoption of this Statement does not impact the EPS calculations for the
quarters and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 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.
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. The
Company has chosen to meet these requirements by moving the riverside motel and
converting it into employee housing plus building additional employee support
facilities. The cost to do this is estimated to be between $1,200,000 and
$2,100,000 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 $2,200,000 and
$3,300,000. The company has not made a decision at this time regarding replacing
the riverside motel with new lodging units.
The fee expense payable 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 nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, this fee
amounted to $69,000 and $61,000, respectively.
Flagg Ranch faces competition from hotels, camping areas and RV 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
Page 7 of 12
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 had
asked the Federal Court to stop winter activities, primarily snowmobiling and
related snow grooming, until environmental impacts are documented. A settlement
agreement was reached that requires the NPS to prepare an environmental impact
statement ("EIS") over the next three years, during which time period the parks
will continue activities under the existing winter visitor-use plan. If the NPS
were to suspend or terminate winter activities in Yellowstone National Park as a
result of the EIS, 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
nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, are management fees and
administrative expenses of approximately $123,000, and $320,000, respectively,
paid to affiliated companies. During the quarter the Company has borrowed money
from an affiliated company. As of December 31, 1997, the Company owed the
affiliated company $1,105,000.
All affiliated companies referred to in these financial statements are owned by
family members of Elizabeth A. Nicoli, who were previously the majority owners
of the Company or by Robert L. Walker, the President and current majority owner
of the Company.
4. CREDIT FACILITY
During the quarter the Company refinanced all current and long-term bank debt
with an affiliated company owned and controlled by the Company president. The
new credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $1,200,000. The draw
period under the facility expires on September 30, 1998. Interest is payable
monthly on the outstanding principal balance at a rate equal to prime plus .50%
(9.0% as of December 31, 1997). The credit facility is collateralized by all
accounts, an assignment of the Contract and all improvements the Company has
made to the Flagg Ranch property. As of December 31, 1997 there were outstanding
borrowings of $1,105,000.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The statements contained in this Report regarding managements 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 income for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was
$147,000 ($.21 per share). This compares to net income of $135,000 ($.19 per
share) for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The $12,000 increase in
income was due primarily to additional revenue as a consequence of the
additional 42 cabin units which opened in December 1996. Changes to the
Company's revenues and expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 are summarized below. All references to years represent nine
month periods ending December 31 of the 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.
Revenues
- --------
Total revenues for 1997 increased by $409,000 or 13% from 1996. Of this
increase, $315,000 was from motel and cabin rentals, $88,000 from food services,
$58,000 from float trip revenue, $26,000 from horse rental revenue, $52,000 in
tent rentals, $19,000 in snowmobile rentals, and $14,000 in miscellaneous
income. Decreases of $85,000 in RV park rentals, $47,000 in Gift shop sales,
$26,000 in grocery store sales, and $5,000 in gasoline 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 an
approximate 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 sites available for rent to the public. On a temporary
basis, approximately twenty-five recreational vehicle sites were 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 56% in 1997 as
compared to 57% in 1996. Operating expenses increased by $434,000 or 28% in 1997
as compared to 1996. The ratio of operating expenses to total revenue increased
to 55% in 1997 from 48% in 1996. The primary increase in operating expenses was
a $315,000 increase in labor costs. This was partially attributable to the early
adoption of the increase in the minimum wage which took effect on September 1,
1997. In addition, the labor costs increased
Page 9 of 12
due to the 42 additional new lodging units. Other increases in operating
expenses included $74,000 related to river float trips and horseback riding
operations, $86,000 in repairs and maintenance, $15,000 in Property taxes,
$66,000 in interest and $12,000 in credit card processing charges. Decreases in
a number of other expenses totaling about $68,000 offset these increases. The
revenues from river float trips and horseback riding operations were up 65% in
the nine month period 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 during the
Spring of 1997.
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 past fiscal year the Company incurred costs of approximately
$1,200,000 to substantially complete construction of the 42 new cabins as well
as other related improvements. During the nine months
ended December 31, 1997, the Company incurred costs of approximately $216,000
reion projects. In addition the Company has purchased new snowmobiles for the
winter season at a cost of approximately $299,000, which in the past were leased
from an affiliated company. As a result, the working capital decreased to a
negative $1,261,000 at December 31, 1997 from a negative $677,000 at December
31, 1996.
The Company may incur additional costs of between $1,200,000 and $2,100,000
prior to December 31, 1999 to relocate employee housing units as required under
the NPS Contract, subject to finalization of an amended building and improvement
program under the 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 for the fiscal
years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash generated from operations
for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $394,000 and $901,000,
respectively. The construction funds will have to be obtained from outside
sources to the extent they exceed cash generated from operations. There is no
guarantee that the Company will be able to procure financing on favorable terms.
