NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995
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, 1994 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 six month and three month periods ended June
30, 1995 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.
Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
_______________________________________________
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six months ended June 30, 1995 vs. six months ended June 30, 1994
Loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1995 aggregated
$3.1 million, as compared to loss before taxes of $3.9 million for the
comparable six month period of 1994. The decrease in the loss in the 1995
period was attributable to increased operating revenues in that period, arising
primarily from a new season pass program, as well as an increase in overall
attendance to the parks. The increase in operating revenue in the second
quarter was offset in part by the increased depreciation expense in that period
arising out of the Company's capital improvement program, additional interest
expense due to higher levels of outstanding debt and an increase in the interest
rates, and larger advertising expense incurred earlier than the previous year.
Revenue. Revenues increased 28.2% from 7.3 million in the first six months
of 1994 to $9.4 million in the first six months of 1995. This increase in
revenues is primarily attributable to a substantial increase in season pass
sales at Frontier City and White Water Bay due to a new combined season pass
program and the effect of these season pass revenues, and increased attendance
at the Company's three theme parks.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased 1.1% from $5.95 million
in the first six months of 1994 to $5.88 million in the first six months of
1995.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
increased 32.6% from $2.4 million in the first six months of 1994 to $3.2
million in the comparable period of 1995 primarily due to a 30.6% increase in
marketing and advertising expenses. Most of such increase was incurred at
Adventure World as part of the advertising campaign designed to promote public
awareness of the new Mind Eraser roller coaster, and a lesser portion of such
increase was incurred in connection w ith the promotion of the new combined
season pass program at Frontier City and White Water Bay.
Costs of Products sold. Costs of products sold increased 3.4% from
$800,000 in the first six months of 1994 to $827,000 in the first six months of
1995. This increase is a direct result of increased in-park sales at the parks.
Three months ended June 30, 1995 vs. three months ended June 30, 1994
Loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1995
aggregated $938,000, as compared to loss before income taxes of $819,000 for the
comparable three month period of 1994. The increase in the loss in the 1995
period was attributable to increased depreciation expense arising out of the
Company's capital improvement program and additional interest expense due to the
increase in outstanding debt.
Revenue. Revenues increased 12.2% from 6.9 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1994 to $7.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 1995.
This increase in revenues is primarily attributable to a substantial increase in
season pass sales at Frontier City and White Water Bay due to a new combined
season pass program and the effect of these season pass revenues, and increased
attendance at the Company's three theme parks.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased 2.2% from $4.1 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $4.2 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1995.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
increased 34.3% from $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 1994 to
$2.4 million in the comparable period of 1995 primarily due to a 30.1% increase
in marketing a nd advertising expenses. Most of such increase was incurred at
Adventure World as part of the advertising campaign designed to promote public
awareness of the new Mind Eraser roller coaster, and a lesser portion of such
increase was incurred in connection with the promotion of the new combined
season pass program at Frontier City and White Water Bay.
Costs of Products sold. Costs of products sold increased 4.5% from
$780,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $815,000 in the three months
ended June 30, 1995. This increase is a direct result of increased in-park
sales at the parks.
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 June 30, 1995, the Company's indebtedness (including capitalized leases)
aggregated $27.5 million, of which approximately $1.9 million is due prior to
June 30, 1996, and $3.5 million represents borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility. Amounts outstanding under this facility must be
repaid in full prior to November 1, with reborrowings thereunder permitted
commencing in December. The Company anticipates repaying current indebtedness
from funds generated from operations.
The Company continues to implement the capital improvements program for its
three parks assembled prior to the 1993 season. In connection with this
program, the Company estimates that it expended approximately $6 million prior
to the 1995 season. The Company funded this amount from existing cash, funds
generated from operations and the proceeds of financings. During the fourth
quarter of 1994, the Company consummated a private placement of 3,584,510 shares
of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.35 per share. Of the shares
issued, 485,437 were issued in satisfaction of $655,340 of indebtedness of the
Company. The cash proceeds of approximately $4.184 million have been used to
fund improvements to the parks.
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.
