Great American Family Parks Announces Pro-Forma Financial Results
for 2004 - First Acquisition Accretive to Earnings - BOISE, Idaho,
July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Great American Family Parks, Inc.
(OTC:GFAM), a company focused on developing profitable regional
theme parks in the U.S., announced its pro-forma consolidated
financial results for the year-ended December 31, 2004, assuming
the acquisition of the park January 1, 2004. The Company reported
total sales of $6,365,000, earnings before income taxes,
depreciation, interest and amortization of $634,000 and net income
after interest and depreciation of $191,000 in 2004. Sales were
generated from the Company's recent acquisition of Wild Animal
Safari, Inc., and the Company's long-standing Crossroads
Convenience Center (CCC) retail business. CCC is strategically
located outside a highly trafficked metropolitan center, the Idaho
Center, which draws thousands of visitors year-round for concerts,
rodeos, corporate symposiums and other events. Dr. Larry Eastland,
President of Great American Family Parks, stated, "Wild Animal
Safari represents our first major acquisition. This park has posted
net profit before depreciation and interest of $861,000 over the
last 12 months of operations. With strong fundamentals, an
experienced management team and a scalable operating platform, we
believe that the park should contribute immediate top-and
bottom-line improvements to GFAM. Together with CCC and other
potential acquisitions currently in the pipeline, we believe that
our business strategy to develop profitable companies is underway
and should result in increased shareholder value in the near-term."
