Except for the historical information contained herein, some of the statements in this Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are found in the sections entitled "Business," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," and "Risk Factors." They include statements concerning: our business strategy; expectations of market and customer response; liquidity and capital expenditures; future sources of revenues; expansion of our proposed product line; and trends in industry activity generally.

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, the risks outlined under "Risk Factors," that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For example, assumptions that could cause actual results to vary materially from future results include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully develop and market our products to customers; our ability to generate customer demand for our products in our target markets; the development of our target markets and market opportunities; our ability to manufacture suitable products at competitive cost; market pricing for our products and for competing products; the extent of increasing competition; technological developments in our target markets and the development of alternate, competing technologies in them; and sales of shares by existing shareholders. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Unless we are required to do so under federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements.


PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS


Overview


Parks! America, Inc. (referred to herein as “Parks!” or the “Company” or “we”), through our wholly-owned subsidiaries owns and operates two regional theme parks and is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating local and regional theme parks and attractions in the United States. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries are Wild Animal, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Wild Animal - Missouri”) and Wild Animal Safari, Inc. a Georgia corporation (“Wild Animal - Georgia”), Wild Animal - Georgia owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park in Pine Mountain, Georgia (the “Georgia Park”). Wild Animal - Missouri owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park located in Strafford, Missouri (the “Missouri Park”).


Our goal is to build a family of theme parks primarily through acquisitions of small, local and regional, privately-owned existing parks and to develop a series of compatible, themed attractions. The Company also may pursue contract management opportunities for themed attractions owned by third parties.


Our philosophy is to acquire existing theme park properties with the following primary criteria in mind:


-Properties that have an operating history;

-Properties where our management team believes the potential exists to increase profits and operating efficiencies; and

-Properties where there is additional, underutilized land upon which to expand operations.


We believe that acquisitions should not unnecessarily encumber the Company with debt that cannot be justified by current operations. By using a combination of equity, debt and other financing options, we intend to carefully monitor shareholder value in conjunction with our pursuit of growth.


As we look at our operations for the year ended December 26, 2010, our principal concern is the Missouri Park which continues to have improving, but unsatisfactory operating results. While we were able to increase sales at the Missouri Park by 10% as compared with the 2009 fiscal year, we believe that years of operation under prior owners have resulted in preconceptions about the condition of the Missouri Park that we still have to overcome. We have worked consistently since our acquisition of the Missouri Park in March of 2008 to upgrade the Park’s physical facilities and dramatically improve its food service. The challenge is to bring the public’s perception of the Park in line with its current condition and level of service. We expect that this effort will take time, but that it will yield favorable results. We will continue to focus our efforts to promote the Missouri Park and make such improvements as our capital budget allows.

Our common shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol, “PRKA.”


Corporate History


The Company was originally incorporated on July 30, 1954 as “Painted Desert Uranium & Oil Co., Inc.” in Washington State. On October 1, 2002, Painted Desert Uranium & Oil Co., Inc. changed its name to “Royal Pacific Resources, Inc.” and its corporate domicile to the State of Nevada.


On December 19, 2003, Royal Pacific Resources, Inc. acquired the assets of Great Western Parks LLC pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement that set the stage for our current corporate structure and management team. We changed the name of the Company to “Great American Family Parks, Inc.” The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” in which Great Western Parks was considered to be the acquirer of Royal Pacific Resources for reporting purposes. Our common stock outstanding increased from 2,533,000 to 29,600,000 as a result of the transaction. As of June 11, 2008 the Company changed its name from Great American Family Parks, Inc. to its current name, “Parks! America, Inc.” In addition, effective June 25, 2008, the Company's quotation symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board was changed from “GFAM” to “PRKA.”


Wild Animal Safari, Inc. – The Georgia Park


Wild Animal - Georgia owns and operates the Georgia Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia. The Georgia Park is situated within a 200-acre portion of a 500-acre plot that is owned by Wild Animal – Georgia. The Georgia Park includes a drive-through animal viewing area that opened in 1991. It is home to over 900 animals from six continents. Most of the animals roam wild throughout a natural habitat and visitors to the Georgia Park are able to observe, photograph and feed the animals from their own cars as they drive along more than three miles of paved roads that run throughout the habitat area. Some animals are contained in special fenced-in areas within the natural habitat and others are located in a more traditional zoo-like atmosphere.


Wild Animal - Georgia’s revenues are primarily derived from admission fees, food and beverage sales, gift store and specialty item sales, sales of animal food and vehicle rentals at the Georgia Park.


In addition to the animal environments, the Georgia Park contains a gift shop, an ice cream parlor, an arcade, a picnic and group recreation area, lakes, a pavilion and concession stands. We sell food and beverages in our restaurant, and gift items from the gift shop to include shirts and hats, specialty items, educational books and toys about animals of the world, other toys, authentic gifts from various continents (e.g. ostrich eggs, hides and skins) and other family oriented items. We also operate a Noble Roman’s Pizza franchise and a Tuscano’s Italian Subs franchise at the Georgia Park. Also within the Georgia Park is our reptile house, located next to our petting zoo, featuring wildlife specimens that are native to Georgia, re-created in natural settings.


Wild Animal - Georgia’s growth plans are predicated upon our ongoing upgrade of the physical plant, which will make it more attractive to visitors; and our development of unused acreage surrounding the park.


A majority of Wild Animal -Georgia’s animals are born in the Georgia Park. The animals we acquire are generally purchased domestically. We rarely import animals. Auctions and sales of animals across the United States occur often and we may acquire animals in these auctions if we see an opportunity to enhance our Parks. We sell animals from time to time as a result of the recent growth in the number of animals in the Georgia Park created by natural breeding that occurs in the Park, and these proceeds are recorded as revenue. We are exploring the possibility of building this into a larger revenue stream in the future. Animal sales represented $16,727 in 2010.


Food and beverages are purchased locally, although the main products and ingredients for the Noble Roman’s Pizza and Tuscano’s Subs are purchased from the national franchising company. As of June 21, 2005 we purchased franchise rights to own and operate a Noble Roman’s Pizza and Tuscano’s Italian Subs food franchise at our Georgia Park. The Franchise Agreement had an initial term of 5 years commencing as of June 21, 2005 and has been renewed for an additional five years. The franchisor receives 7.0% of gross sale proceeds.


Wild Animal, Inc. – The Missouri Park


Wild Animal – Missouri purchased the Missouri Park as of March 5, 2008. The Missouri Park is situated in Strafford, Missouri on 255 acres of land located 12 miles east of Springfield and 45 miles north of Branson. The Missouri Park is a ride-through wild animal park with five-mile course permitting access to 600 animals of approximately 80 different species. Most of the animals roam wild throughout the natural habitat. Visitors to the Missouri Park are able to observe, photograph, and feed the animals from their own cars as they drive. Some animals are contained in special fenced-in areas within natural habitats. Other animals are located in a more traditional zoo-like atmosphere. In addition, the park offers a gift shop, a food and beverage area and a petting zoo.

Research and Development


No research and development occurs in our Wild Animal Safari businesses except for normal product testing.


Government Regulation


Both the Georgia Park and the Missouri Park operate under various licenses and approvals from government at various levels, as outlined below. The licenses under which our businesses operate are crucial to our ongoing operations. Should any changes occur in the licensing requirements for either business, this could have an adverse effect on revenues, profits and attendance. There are inspections at or facilities. The nature of our business makes it unlikely that our operations will trigger environmental problems.

Competition


The theme park industry is highly competitive, highly fragmented, rapidly evolving, and subject to technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products. One of our competitors for general recreation consumer spending in Georgia, Callaway Gardens, is located within five miles of our Georgia Park. Similarly, the Missouri Park is located approximately 45 minutes from Branson, Missouri, a resort and entertainment venue. Many of the Company’s current competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence as well as greater financial, technical, operational, marketing and other resources and experience than the Company has. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets the Company may not be able to compete successfully in such markets. The Company believes that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect the Company’s gross margins if the Company is not able to reduce costs commensurate with such price reductions. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for the Company to predict whether it will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar products offered or proposed to be offered by the Company. If the Company’s competitors were to provide better and more cost effective products, the Company’s business initiatives could be materially and adversely affected.


In addition to competing with other themed and amusement parks, our venues compete with other types of recreational venues and entertainment alternatives, including but not limited to movies, sports attractions, vacation travel and video games. There can be no assurance that our Company will successfully differentiate itself from these entertainment alternatives or that consumers will consider our entertainment offerings to be more appealing than those of our competitors.



6



The Georgia Park has approximately 15 full-time employees, and during the Georgia Park’s prime attendance season, which runs from April through August, we typically engage up to approximately 20 additional seasonal employees. The Missouri Park has 6 year round employees and has engaged an additional 8 seasonal employees during the peak season. We also engage consultants from time to time. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees and believe our relations with our employees are good.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the "risk factors" below for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.


Risk Factors Relating to Our Business:


We Have a Limited Operating History


We have a limited operating history and our financial health will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. We have been officially operating under our current business plan of acquiring theme parks since 2003, when we reached a preliminary agreement to purchase the Georgia Park. Subsequently in 2003, the Company gained control of Royal Pacific Resources and changed its name to Great American Family Parks. Our purchase of the Georgia Park was not completed until June of 2005. The Missouri Park was purchased in March of 2008. The likelihood of our success must be considered in the light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the startup and growth of a new business, and the competitive environment in which we will operate. Our success is dependent upon the successful financing and development of our business plan. No assurance of success is offered. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business and marketing and developing products. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customers and market expertise, market conditions, sales, marketing and governmental regulation. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail our operations.


We May Not Identify or Complete Acquisitions in a Timely, Cost-Effective Manner, If At All.


Our business plan is predicated upon the acquisition of additional local or regional theme parks and attractions; and, the approval and expansion of our current facilities and offerings. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring and operating additional local or regional theme parks and attractions. Competition for acquisition opportunities in the theme park industry is intense as there is a limited number of parks within the United States and Canada that could reasonably qualify as acquisition targets for us. Our acquisition strategy is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to: identify acquisition opportunities; obtain debt and equity financing; and obtain necessary regulatory approvals. Our ability to pursue our acquisition strategy may be hindered if we are not able to successfully identify acquisition targets or obtain the necessary financing or regulatory approvals, including but not limited to those arising under federal and state antitrust and environmental laws.


We May Be Unable To Effectively Manage Our Growth or Implement Our Expansion Strategy.


Our acquisition strategy is subject to related risks, including pressure on our management and on our internal systems and controls. Our planned growth will require us to invest in new, and improve our existing, operational, technological and financial systems and to expand, train and retain our employee base. Our failure to effectively manage our growth could have a material adverse effect on our future financial condition.


Significant Amounts of Additional Financing May Be Necessary For the Implementation of Our Business Plan.


The Company may require additional debt and equity financing to pursue its acquisition strategy. Given its limited operating history, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing. Lack of additional funding could force us to curtail substantially our expansion plans. Furthermore, the issuance by us of any additional securities and the exercise of Warrants which might arise under any future fundraising activities undertaken by us would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders and may reduce the price of our common stock.



7




The Theme Park Industry is Highly Competitive and We May Be Unable to Compete Effectively.


The theme park industry is highly competitive, highly fragmented, rapidly evolving, and subject to technological change and intense marketing by providers with similar products. One of our competitors for attracting general recreation dollars, Callaway Gardens, is located within five miles of our Wild Animal Safari park in Georgia. Branson, Missouri is located just 45 minutes from our Animal Paradise Park in Missouri. Many of our current competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence as well as greater financial, technical, operational, marketing and other resources and experience than we have. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets we may not be able to compete successfully in such markets. The Company believes that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce costs commensurate with such price reductions. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar products offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost effective products, our business could be materially and adversely affected.


We Face Strong Competition from Numerous Entertainment Alternatives.


In addition to competing with other themed and amusement parks, our venues compete with other types of recreational venues and entertainment alternatives, including but not limited to movies, sports attractions, vacation travel and video games. There can be no assurance that we will successfully differentiate ourselves from these entertainment alternatives or that consumers will consider our entertainment offerings to be more appealing than those of our competitors. The development of technology-based entertainment has provided families with a wider selection of entertainment alternatives close to or in their homes, including home entertainment units, online gaming, and video game parlors. In addition, traditional theme parks have been able to reduce the cost and increase the variety of their attractions by implementing technologies that cannot be readily incorporated by wild animal parks such as the Georgia Park or the Missouri Park..


Our Insurance Coverage May Not Be Adequate To Cover All Possible Losses That We Could Suffer, and Our Insurance Costs May Increase.


Companies engaged in the theme park business may be sued for substantial damages in the event of an actual or alleged accident. An accident occurring at our parks or at competing parks may reduce attendance, increase insurance premiums, and negatively impact our operating results. Our properties contain drive-through, safari style animal parks, and there are inherent risks associated with allowing the public to interact with animals. Although we carry liability insurance to cover this risk, there can be no assurance that our coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities, or that we will be able to afford or obtain adequate coverage should a catastrophic incident occur.


We currently have $6,000,000 of liability insurance. We will continue to use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain policies of liability, fire and casualty insurance sufficient to provide reasonable coverage for risks arising from accidents, fire, weather, other acts of God, and other potential casualties. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate levels of insurance to protect against suits and judgments in connection with accidents or other disasters that may occur in our theme parks.


Our Ownership of Real Property Subjects Us to Environmental Regulation, Which Creates Uncertainty Regarding Future Environmental Expenditures and Liabilities.


We may be required to incur costs to comply with environmental requirements, such as those relating to discharges to air, water and land; the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste; and the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substances. Under these and other environmental requirements we may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases at one of our properties. As an owner or operator, we could also be held responsible to a governmental entity or third party for property damage, personal injury and investigation and cleanup costs incurred by them in connection with any contamination. Environmental laws typically impose cleanup responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. The liability under those laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of the responsibility. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of those substances may be substantial, and the presence of those substances, or the failure to remediate a property properly, may impair our ability to use our property. We are not currently aware of any material environmental risks regarding our properties. However, we may be required to incur costs to remediate potential environmental hazards or to mitigate environmental risks in the future.



8




The Suspension or Termination of Any of our Business Licenses May Have a Negative Impact on Our Business


We maintain a variety of standard business licenses issued by federal, state and city government agencies that are renewable on a periodic basis. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in renewing all of our licenses on a periodic basis. The suspension, termination or expiration of one or more of these licenses could have a significant adverse affect on our revenues and profits. In addition, any changes to the licensing requirements for any of our licenses could affect our ability to maintain the licenses.


We Are Dependent Upon the Services of Our Executive Officers and Consultants.


Our success is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of our executive officers. Loss of the services of one or more of these officers could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations. In particular, we place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of Dale Van Voorhis, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and Jim Meikle, Chief Operating Officer of the Company and a Director of the Company, and President of Wild Animal-Missouri and Wild Animal-Georgia. The loss of Mr. Van Voorhis or Mr. Meikle's services could have a serious adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects.


Further, our success and achievement of our growth plans depend on our ability to recruit, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees among companies in the theme park industry is intense, and the loss of any such persons, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of the Company’s activities, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. The inability of the Company to attract and retain the necessary personnel and consultants and advisors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.


Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock


The Market Price Of Our Common Stock May Decline Because There Are Warrants That May Be Available For Future Sale And The Sale Of These Shares May Depress The Market Price.


The market price of our common stock may decline because there are a large number of warrants that may be available for future sale, and the sale of these shares may depress the market price. As of March 20, 2011, we had 73,781,537 Shares issued and outstanding.


Our Common Stock is Subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions In Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.


Our common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts. As a result, the market for our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your shares.


We Do Not Expect to Pay Dividends for Some Time, if At All


No cash dividends have been paid on our common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors.


Future Capital Needs Could Result in Dilution to Investors; Additional Financing Could be Unavailable or Have Unfavorable Terms


Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, progress in our present operations, competing market developments, and our ability to market our products successfully. It may be necessary to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. Any equity financings could result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders. Sources of debt financing may result in higher interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on terms unfavorable to us.

On June 25, 2009, a group led by Larry L. Eastland, the Company’s former President and CEO for approximately six years, filed with the SEC preliminary proxy materials expressing their intention to take control of the Company by electing a slate of directors at a shareholders meeting. In addition to Larry L. Eastland, the group consisted of EDLA Family Limited Partnership (controlled by Larry L. Eastland), Jay Pitlake, Queenie Lai, Roderick D. Davies, Michael Lempres and Jack Klosterman. This group amended their preliminary proxy materials on July 6, 2009.


On September 10, 2009, an expanded group led by Larry L. Eastland filed with the SEC a Consent Solicitation Statement. This group consisted of Larry L. Eastland, EDLA Family Limited Partnership, Jay Pitlake, Jack Klosterman, Ben Smith, Jay Goldman, Richard Jackson, Robert O’Brien, Queenie Lai, Michael Lempres, Roderick Davis, Mark D. Stubbs, Bart Marcois, Jonathan Wing Lock So and Richard Nguyen Huu Nam. While this Consent Solicitation Statement did not explicitly state an intention to gain control of the Company, the proposal to shareholders was to expand the size of the board of directors and elect new additional directors who would outnumber the existing group. In a subsequent joint filing on Schedule 13D on September 21, 2009 by the EDLA Family Limited Partnership, Larry Eastland, Jay Pitlake, Jack Klosterman, Ben Smith, Jay Goldman, Richard Jackson, Robert O’Brien and Mark D. Stubbs, this group stated that their filing of a Consent Solicitation Statement “will have the effect of replacing the current board of directors and changing control of the Issuer.”



10




The Company responded by commencing a lawsuit in the Nevada District Court in Clark County, Nevada seeking to enjoin the Consent Solicitation Statement on the grounds that: (i) the expansion of the size of the board of directors called for in the Consent Solicitation Statement violated the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, (ii) the Company’s By-Laws require that directors be elected at an annual meeting of shareholders and (iii) Larry L. Eastland violated his Severance Agreement with the Company by not turning over material corporate records in his possession and was wrongfully using such records to conduct the consent solicitation. On September 25, 2009, the Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining any actions in furtherance of the Consent Solicitation Statement and restraining the group that filed it from making any further filings with the SEC. On October 23, 2009, the group led by Larry L. Eastland and the Company stipulated to an Order extending such Temporary Restraining Order until December 16, 2009. As of May 17, 2010, the Nevada District Court issued a Preliminary Injunction Order dissolving the Temporary Restraining Order and issuing a Preliminary Injunction against the Eastland Group that (i) enjoined them from taking any further action in furtherance of their consent solicitation, (ii) enjoined them from filing with the SEC documents that violate the Company’s Article of Incorporation, as amended, its by-laws and the Nevada Revised Statutes in regard to removing or replacing the board of directors of the Company and (iii) requiring that the Eastland Group and the Company submit to each other all information they have in regard to the actual stockholders of the Company, including the identity of stockholders whose shares are held by registries or other parties.  


On October 19, 2010 the Company held a Shareholders Meeting (the “Meeting”).  At the Meeting, the shareholders (1) elected all seven of the Company’s director nominees and (2) ratified the appointment of Silberstein Ungar, PLLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2010.

Both investors were “accredited investors” as that term is defined under Regulation D (“Regulation D”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Private Placement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. One of the investors was the Company’s Chairman and then Chief Operating Officer.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  


Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition (“MD&A”) is a supplement to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and provides additional information on the Company’s businesses, current developments, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 26, 2010 provided in this annual report on Form 10-K. Certain statements contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, as discussed more fully herein.


The forward-looking information set forth in this annual report is as of the date of this filing, and we undertake no duty to update this information. More information about potential factors that could affect our business and financial results is included in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this annual report.


Overview


Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we own and operate two regional theme parks and are in the business of acquiring, developing and operating local and regional theme parks and attractions in the United States. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries are Wild Animal, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Wild Animal - Missouri”) and Wild Animal Safari, Inc. a Georgia corporation (“Wild Animal – Georgia”). Wild Animal-Georgia owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park in Pine Mountain, Georgia (the “Georgia Park”). Wild Animal - Missouri owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park located in Strafford, Missouri (the “Missouri Park”).


Our goal is to build a family of theme parks primarily through acquisitions of small, local and regional, privately-owned existing parks and to develop a series of compatible, themed attractions,. The Company also may pursue contract management opportunities for themed attractions owned by third parties.


Our philosophy is to acquire existing amusement park properties with the following primary criteria in mind:


·

Properties that have an operating history;

·

Properties where our management team believes the potential exists to increase profits and operating efficiencies; and

·

Properties where there is additional, underutilized land upon which to expand operations.



We believe that acquisitions should not unnecessarily encumber the Company with debt that cannot be justified by current operations. By using a combination of equity, debt and other financing options, we intend to carefully monitor shareholder value in conjunction with our pursuit of growth.



12




As we look at our operations for the year ended December 26, 2010, our principal concern is the Missouri Park which continues to have improving, but unsatisfactory operating results. While we were able to increase sales at the Missouri Park by 10% as compared with the 2009 fiscal year, we believe that years of operation under prior owners have resulted in preconceptions about the condition of the Missouri Park that we still have to overcome. We have worked consistently since our acquisition of the Missouri Park in March of 2008 to upgrade the Park’s physical facilities and dramatically improve its food service. The challenge is to bring the public’s perception of the Park in line with its current condition and level of service. We expect that this effort will take time, but that it will yield favorable results. We will continue to focus our efforts to promote the Missouri Park and make such improvements as our capital budget allows.


Our current size and operating model leaves us little room for mistakes. Our highest priority is to make the Missouri Park operation break-even and then profitable. The current tightness in the financial markets could make it difficult for us to raise the needed capital to give us the time we may need to get the Missouri Park profitable. Any future capital raised by our company is likely to result in dilution to existing stockholders. It is possible that cash generated by, or available to, Parks! America may not be sufficient to fund our capital and liquidity needs for the near-term.


The Company signed a new loan agreement in March 2011 with our primary lending institution which replaces our maturing loan on the Georgia Park for a term three years (based on a 14-year amortization) at an interest rate of 6.5% (down from previous mortgage rate of 7.75%). Our auditors have issued a clean opinion for the year ended December 26, 2010, after qualifying their opinion for each of the last two fiscal years with a “going concern” exception. We believe this is due, in part, to our successful efforts to refinance the maturing mortgage at the Georgia Park.


Results of Operations Year Ended December 26, 2010 as Compared to Year Ended December 27, 2009


Net Sales


Total net sales for the year ended December 26, 2010 increased $68,000 to $3,383,118 versus the year ended December 27, 2009. The increase was generated at the Missouri Park as a result of improved revenue per customer at this park. Revenue increased by $31,000 to $85,000 at the Missouri Park during the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 (which was hurt by unusually bad weather). Revenue for the year ended December 26, 2010 at the Missouri Park increased by $82,000, or 13%, as compared to 2009. Annual attendance at the Missouri Park increased slightly during 2010, while the average revenue per customer increased by 10% during 2010 versus 2009.


Revenue at the Georgia Park increased 20% during the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of better weather this year versus last year, particularly in October 2010. Attendance at the Georgia Park increased 2% for the fiscal year and revenue per customer declined by 3% in 2010 as compared to average revenue per customer in 2009.

The 2010 operating margin at the Georgia Park declined 6% versus 2009 as a result of higher advertising spending in 2010 versus 2009. The Missouri Park improved its revenue per customer by 10%, while attendance was slightly higher than that of 2009. Management believes that attendance at the Missouri Park will continue to grow in 2011. The Company’s goal for the Missouri Park is to break even within the next two calendar years.


Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of revenue at the Georgia Park as a result of lower costs to feed the animals in 2010. Cost of sales at Missouri Park was higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 due an increase in the number of animals at such Park and an associated rise in the cost of feed.


Expenses


Including Corporate, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased by $82,000 to $2.5 million in 2010 as compared to $2.6 million in 2009, primarily as a result of lower corporate spending. Corporate spending declined $287,000 in fiscal year 2010, reflecting the benefit of closing our former headquarters in California and reorganization of our leadership team in March 2009.  The Company incurred $157,895 in 2009 restructuring charges including severance expense of $124,246 in connection with the Company’s separation from its former Chairman and Chief Financial Officer and lease termination and relocation expenses of $33,649 in connection with closing the former California Corporate office. The Company reduced its 2010 paid professional fees to outside accountants and attorneys by $108,000 as compared with 2009.


The Missouri Park lowered its SG&A spending by $50,000 in 2010 primarily as a result of reducing payroll and advertising costs versus 2009. SG&A spending at the Georgia Park increased by $97,000 as compared with 2009 as a result of higher advertising, utilities and vehicle fuel costs.


The Company reported a net loss on disposal of operating assets of $21,106 in 2010 versus a loss of $70,540 in 2009. During 2009, the Company disposed of equipment and a building that was no longer worth maintaining, resulting in a $25,000 loss on disposal at the Georgia Park. The 2009 loss at the Missouri Park included a $34,000 loss from the demolition of a two-story house that no longer fit the future plans of the Missouri Park.


Depreciation and Amortization


Depreciation and amortization expenses were $313,858, slightly lower in 2010, as compared to $322,708 for the year ended December 27, 2009.


Discontinued Operations and Other Income (Expenses)


Other Income for 2010 includes $59,000 in credits from favorable settlements on previously billed legal and accounting services expensed prior to December 27, 2009.


For fiscal year 2009, Other Income included $175,632 in proceeds from the sale of timber from unused areas of the Georgia Park. This amount was recorded in the first quarter of 2009. During 2009, the Missouri Park recorded a casualty loss $40,000 from the write off of a pavilion, a stage, and two billboards which were destroyed by severe winds. These items were not covered under the Company’s property insurance policy.


Income from Discontinued Operations was $52,969 in 2009 as a result of collecting approximately $20,000 more from receivables than originally estimated and receiving $32,000 more in workers compensation refunds than originally recorded and projected at December 31, 2008. The Company conveyed its former temporary staffing business to Computer Contact Services, Inc. (“CSC”) as of January 1, 2009. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a loss of on Sale of Discontinued Operations of $616,080 as of December 31, 2008. This loss was reflected in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company has no assets or liabilities recorded on its books as of December 27, 2009 related to its discontinued operation of Park Staffing Services. Discontinued operations resulted in a profit of $323,717 during 2008.


As stated above the Company entered into an agreement on December 30, 2008 to re-convey the assets of Parks Staffing Services back to its original owner which was effective as of January 1, 2009. The consideration paid by the Company to re-convey Parks Staffing Services was $616,080 less than our carrying value of the assets of Parks Staffing Services as of December 31, 2008, therefore goodwill and intangibles recorded on the Company’s books were reduced by this amount and reported as a Loss on the Sale of Discontinued Operations.



14




Interest Expense


Interest expense in 2010 was $330,617 as compared to $336,426 in 2009. The Company was able to rely less on outstanding lines of credit in 2010 due to a capital raise of $200,000 in December, 2009.


Net Loss and Loss Per Share


The Company reported a loss of $158,522, or $0.00 per share, as compared to $405,071 in 2009, or a loss of $0.01 per share in 2009. The operating margin from both parks netted the Company nearly $100,000, or 16%, more in operating profit in 2010 and Corporate spending was $287,000 lower in 2010 as compared to 2009 as discussed in detail above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Management believes that it has improved its operations to the point that it can now generate enough cash to fund its operations, make its mortgage payments and spend modestly on capital improvements in the near-term. Any slowdown in revenue or unusual capital outlays would require us to seek additional capital. In March 2011 the Company borrowed $50,000 from its Chairman to make a $50,000 lump sum principal payment on the Missouri mortgage that allows us to extend this seller financing another two years on the same terms. This $50,000 related party note has terms similar to its CB&T line of credit. It has a term of one year, is unsecured and bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum. For more information regarding such note, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” herein.

 

The Company’s working capital is negative $601,904 at December 26, 2010 as compared to a negative $2.4 million working capital at December 27, 2009. The large decrease is a result of securing a new mortgage note at the Georgia Park in March 2011. Last year the entire outstanding mortgage of $2,059,286 was classified as current liability.


In December of 2009 the Company completed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 20,000,000 Shares of the Company’s at $0.01 per Share from two investors for total consideration of $200,000. The Private Placement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated thereunder. Each investor was an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Regulation D. One of the investors participating in the Private Placement was the Company’s Chairman and Chief Operating Officer. Proceeds from the Private Placement were used to meet projected cash flow requirements.


The Company redeemed 300,000 Shares under the terms of the Idaho Convenience store sale and corresponding note receivable. The Company issued 300,000 Shares to its directors for their service in 2008 and 2009. Each director received 25,000 Shares per year for two years of service. In addition, the Company awarded a total of 1.5 million Shares to two new officers of the Company during 2009. As a policy, shares issued for service to the Company are valued based on fair market price of shares on the date of issuance. During 2010, the Company awarded 175,000 Shares for their service in 2010.


Total debt related to property mortgages and lines of credit (“LOC”), including current maturities, at December 26, 2010 was $4.3 million versus $4.5 million at year end in 2009. The reduction in debt was a result of our monthly mortgage payments partially offset by higher LOC borrowings as of year end in 2010. The Company borrowed $365,000 on its lines of credit (as compared to $333,000 at year end 2009) leaving us an available LOC balance of $235,000. In December 2009, the Company added a third line of credit for $150,000 bringing our total available lines of credit to $600,000.


Unrestricted cash was $10,000 at year end. Capital spending will be kept to a minimum during the next twelve months as the Company works to improve its financial condition.


At December 26, 2010, the Company had equity of $2,215,754 and total debt of $3,942,408, and a debt to equity ratio of 1.94 to 1. The Company’s debt to equity ratio was 1.88 to 1 as of December 27, 2009


Our principal source of income is from cash sales, which is projected to provide sufficient cash flow to fund operations and service our current debt. During the next twelve to twenty-four months, management will focus on improving the financial condition of the Company.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.



15




Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


An infinite number of variables can be posted that could have an effect on valuation of assets and liabilities. For example, it is assumed that:


·

Revenue and profit growth at the theme parks will continue;

·

The infrastructure will accommodate the additional customers;

·

Cost of improvements and operations will remain a relatively stable budgeted allocation; and

·

Per capita spending by the customers will continue to rise in relation to the rise in capital expenditures;


If any one of these assumptions, or combination of assumptions, proves incorrect, then the values assigned to real estate, per capita revenues, attendance and other variables that have remained consistent over the past two years may not be realized. The same would be true if higher than expected revenue streams occurred.

The change in the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 18, 2008.


During the year ended December 31, 2007 and any subsequent period through July 16, 2008, the Company did not consult with Stonefield regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.


On April 8, 2009, the Company dismissed Stonefield as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal of Stonefield was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 7, 2009.


Stonefield did not issue a report on the Company’s financial statements for years ended December 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Based on an evaluation conducted by management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 26, 2010, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are:


1.

recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms; and


2.

accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Overview


Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:


(a)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;


(b)

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and


(c)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce this risk.


Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are effective.


(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We do not pay directors cash compensation for their service as directors. Our officers and directors elected to forego compensation until such time as we achieved the acquisition and commenced the operation of our first theme park. Upon the closing the acquisition of our first theme park, existing employment contracts for officers and directors were implemented. These agreements, described below, provide for compensation and certain corporate benefits for certain employees and board members.


Each director was awarded an annual grant of 25,000 Shares for their service to the Company.



21



Employment Agreements


During the second quarter of 2008, the Company entered into employment agreements with four of its officers. Among other things, these agreements provides for base annual salaries aggregating $415,000 as compensation for the part-time and full time employment of such officers. The respective agreements each have a five-year term. Salaries will be reviewed annually, and health insurance is provided to one officer. Each of the employment agreements also provides for the payment of additional severance compensation to each officer equal to the remaining salary for the balance of the term of his employment agreement following termination if: (i) the agreement is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined therein), or (ii) terminated by the executive following a change in control (as defined therein). These agreements also entitle the officers to participate in stock option plans to be established by the Company. The contracts also provide for a sale/take-over termination bonuses of $1,050,000 to the four officers.


In connection with his resignation as an officer and director of the Company on March 28, 2009, all bonus provisions under Mr. Eastland’s employment agreement became null and void and no bonus had been earned or accrued on the Company’s books as of that date.


During the Company’s ownership of Park Staffing Services LLC until June 2008, the son-in-law of Mr. Eastland, then Chairman and CEO of the Company was employed as the managing director of Park Staffing at a salary of $120,000 per year. On June 16, 2008, he was terminated and received severance pay equivalent to six months of compensation.


During the second quarter of 2009, the Board approved separate employment agreements with three officers which provided for annual salaries in the aggregate of $195,000, as compensation for the part-time employment of the officers retroactive to June 1, 2009 for a five-year term.


Three of four previous employment agreements signed in April 2008 were terminated. The one remaining employment contract from April 2008 is for a full time officer and he receives $120,000 pursuant to his continuing employment agreement.


Some of the employment agreements provide for additional severance compensation for the term of the contract if: (i) the agreement is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined therein) or (ii) terminated by the executive following a change in control (as defined therein). These agreements also entitle the officers to participate in stock option plans to be set up. The additional severance compensation totals $615,000.


In addition, two of the officers were awarded signing bonuses in the aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company.


The salaries of all officers are reviewed annually.


On December 16, 2010, the Company terminated Tristan Pico as Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the Company.


Stock Option and Award Plan

The Plan sets aside five million (5,000,000) shares for award of stock options, including qualified incentive stock options and performance stock bonuses.

America, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 26, 2010 and December 27, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parks! America, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 26, 2010 and December 27, 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PARKS! AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 26, 2010 and December 27, 2009



1. ORGANIZATION


Parks! America (“Parks!” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on July 30, 1954 as Painted Desert Uranium & Oil Co., Inc. in Washington State.  On October 1, 2002, Painted Desert Uranium & Oil Co., Inc. changed its name to Royal Pacific Resources, Inc. and its corporate domicile to the State of Nevada.


On December 19, 2003, Royal Pacific Resources, Inc. acquired the assets of Great Western Parks LLC, including the Crossroads Convenience Center LLC., pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement that resulted in our assuming control and changing the corporate name to Great American Family Parks, Inc. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Great Western Parks was considered to be the acquirer of Royal Pacific Resources for reporting purposes. Our common stock outstanding increased from 2,533,000 to 29,600,000 as a result of the acquisition. On June 11, 2008 the Company changed its name from Great American Family Parks, Inc. to Parks! America, Inc.


 The Company owns and operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries two regional theme parks and is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating local and regional theme parks and attractions in the United States.  Our wholly-owned subsidiaries are Wild Animal, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Wild Animal - Missouri”) and Wild Animal Safari, Inc. a Georgia corporation (“Wild Animal -Georgia”).  Wild Animal -Georgia owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park in Pine Mountain, Georgia (the “Georgia Park”).  Wild Animal - Missouri owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park located in Stafford, Missouri (the “Missouri Park”).  


For more information regarding the acquisition of Park Staffing Services LLC (formerly known as tempServe LLC, and referred to herein as “Park Staffing Services”) and its subsequent re-conveyance of Park Staffing Services see note 7. For financial reporting purposes, Parks Staffing Services is presented as a discontinued operation.  The parks are open year round but experience increased seasonal attendance April through August.


Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and include the following: local conditions, events, disturbances and terrorist activities, accidents occurring at our parks, adverse weather conditions, competition with other theme parks and other entertainment alternatives, changes in consumer spending patterns, credit market and general economic conditions; and any future legal proceedings.


On June 13, 2005, the Company acquired the Georgia Park.


On September 30, 2007, the Company acquired assets from tempServe LLC outlined in note 6.


On March 5, 2008, the Company acquired assets for a Missouri Park outlined in note 7.


On June 11, 2008, the Company changed its name from Great American Family Parks, Inc. to Parks! America, Inc.


On January 1, 2009, the Company re-conveyed Park Staffing Services back to the original owners outlined in note 6 and this business is presented as a discontinued operation.


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation:  The audited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods set forth herein.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  


Accounting Method:  The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.


Reclassifications: Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.


Dividend Policy:  The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 26, 2010 and December 27, 2009



2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) Per Share:  Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise any common share rights unless the exercise becomes anti-dilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.


Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period.  Potentially dilutive shares, consisting of 14,300,000 warrants, are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. All warrants expired during 2010 and none were exercised.


Revenue Recognition:  The major source of income is received from theme park admissions. Theme park revenues from admission fees are recognized upon receipt of the cash at the time of our customers’ visit to the parks.  No theme park ticket sales are made in advance.  Short term seasonal passes are sold primarily during the summer seasons and are negligible to our results of operations and are not material.


Trade Accounts Receivable:  The theme parks are a cash business therefore there are no receivables on the books of the Company.   


Advertising and Market Development:  The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred.


Income Taxes:  The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the  liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.


Financial and Concentrations Risk:  The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks except for.  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  


Principles of Consolidation:  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (Wild Animal-Georgia and Wild Animal-Missouri).  Park Staffing Services, LLC is reported as a discontinued operation.  Results of operations and cash flows are included for the period subsequent to the acquisition dates and include the accounts of Wild Animal-Georgia and Wild Animal-Missouri.  All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Estimates and Assumptions:  Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.


Property and Equipment:  Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to thirty nine years.  A summary is included below.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 26, 2010 and December 27, 2009



2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Inventory:  Inventory consists of park supplies, and is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are reviewed and reconciled annually, because inventory levels turn over rapidly.


Other Intangible assets:  Other intangible assets include franchising fees, loan fees, payroll software, intangibles or continuing contracts and a covenant not to compete are reported at cost.  Franchising and loan fees are amortized over a period of 60 months and payroll software over a period of 36 months.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:  The Company reviews its major assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If an asset is considered impaired, then impairment will be recognized in an amount determined by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.  


Financial Instruments:  The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities. Securities that are publicly traded are valued at their fair market value based as of the balance sheet date presented.


Uncertainties: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern during the next twelve months depends on the ability of the Company to generate revenues from operations, to maintain its existing sources of capital and to obtain extensions on existing debt maturities or obtain new sources of financing sufficient to sustain operations.   The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


Stock Based Compensation:  Prior to January 1, 2006 the company accounted for stock based compensation under recognition and measurement principles of SFAS No. 123 (ASC 718) and as permitted under APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations.  Effective January 1, 2006 the company adopted FAS 123R (ASC 718) using the modified prospective method which recognizes compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the SFAS No. 123R (ASC 718) requires that cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation cost recognized for options exercised be classified as cash inflows from financing activities and cash outflows from operating activities.  The company also applies SFAS No. 123R (ASC 718) and EITF No. 96-18 stock based compensation to non-employees. No activity has occurred in relation to stock options during any period presented.  Stan Harper returned 5,000,000 stock warrants of the Company as part of the reconveyance of Park Staffing Services back to him. The Company awards shares to its Board of Directors for service on the Board. The shares issued to the Board are “restricted” and are not to be re-sold unless an exemption is available, such as the exemption afforded by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The Company recognizes the expense based on the fair market value at time of the grant. Directors are granted 25,000 shares a year for each year of service.   


The Board authorized and awarded 1,000,000 shares of stock to Tristan Pico, former Chief Executive Officer, and 500,000 shares to Jon Laria, Chief Financial Officer, as incentives for them joining the Company in 2009.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements:  In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled “Subsequent Events”.  Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the quarter or year-to-date period then ended.


In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. (“SFAS 168” or ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.


SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.


With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.


3. LONG-TERM DEBT

December 27,

2009

The Commercial Bank and Trust of Troup County original loan was repaid in monthly installments of $19,250 based on a twenty year amortization schedule. The interest rate on the original loan was 7.75% for the first five years. The original loan matured on November 17, 2010, but terms continue on a month to month basis until the loan closes in 2011. The Company has renegotiated a three year extension and signed a commitment letter in March 2011. The new note will require monthly payments of $18,048.55 based on a 14 year amortization. The loan will have a fixed interest rate of 6.5%, and a balloon payment due in June 2014. The loan is secured by a first priority security agreement and a first priority security deed on the Wild Animal Safari theme park assets.

On September 27, 2004, the Company issued 2,984,400 common shares, and 2,059,200 share purchase warrant pursuant to a purchase agreement dated June 10, 2004.  Each share purchase warrant included the right to purchase an additional common share at $0.30 per share at any time within five years, which expired in 2009. Since the warrants and shares were both equity classified, no separate valuation of the warrants were performed.


During the fiscal year ended 2005 the Company completed an offering of 11,128,000 common shares for cash. Included as part of the sale were warrants to purchase 11,128,000 common shares at any time before June 23, 2010 at an exercise price of $0.35.  The Company had estimated the value of the warrants to be approximately $612,040 at the time of issue.  The options were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model. The underlying assumptions used were:  Grant date fair value of $0.30, exercise price of $0.35, risk free rate of 4.23%, volatility of 138.53% and term of 5 years.  Since the stock price has never exceeded the exercise price of $0.35 and the warrants expired in 2010.  None of the warrants were exercised and no value was recognized.


During the year ended December 27, 2009, the Company wrote off a note of $3,000 and the 300,000 shares of common stock that collateralized the note were retired as Treasury shares. The Company recorded the transaction as Treasury Stock for $3,000 and reduced its outstanding shares by 300,000 as of December 27, 2009.


In December 2009 the Company completed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at $0.01 per Share from two investors for total consideration of $200,000.  Both investors were “accredited investors” as that term is defined under Regulation D (“Regulation D”) of the Securities Act.  The Private Placement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D.  One of the investors was the Company’s Chairman and Chief Operating Officer.


Proceeds from the Private Placement were used to meet cash flow requirements through the slow season winter season which was the first quarter of 2010.


As policy, capital stock shares issued for service to the Company are valued based on market price on the date of issuance. During 2010, the Company awarded 175,000 shares to seven directors at a fair market value of $0.01 per share or $1,750. This amount was reported as an expense to operations in 2010.

Each of the employment agreements also provides for the payment of additional severance compensation to each officer equal to the remaining salary for the balance of the term of his employment agreement following termination if: (i) the agreement is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined therein), or (ii) terminated by the executive following a change in control (as defined therein). These agreements also entitle the officers to participate in stock option plans to be established by the Company.

Three of four previous employment agreements signed in April 2008 were terminated. The one remaining employment contract from April 2008 is for a full time officer and he receives $120,000 pursuant to his continuing employment agreement.


Some of the employment agreements provide for additional severance compensation for the term of the contract if: (i) the agreement is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined therein) or (ii) terminated by the executive following a change in control (as defined therein). These agreements also entitle the officers to participate in stock option plans to be set up. The additional severance compensation totals $615,000.


In addition, two of the officers were awarded signing bonuses in the aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company in 2009.


The salaries of all officers are reviewed annually and no changes were made in 2010.


On December 16, 2010 the Board of Directors terminated Tristan Pico as Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the Company. Mr. Pico remains a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

7.  ASSET PURCHASE OF LAND AND PROPERTY, NOW NAMED WILD ANIMAL, INC.

The Missouri assets were purchased with $250,000 cash and a mortgage to the seller for $1,750,000 (see note 4 for terms of the loan). The purchase price was allocated as follows:

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Legal Proceedings


On June 25, 2009, a group led by Larry L. Eastland, the Company’s former President and CEO for approximately six years, filed with the SEC preliminary proxy materials expressing their intention to take control of the Company by electing a slate of directors at a shareholders meeting.  In addition to Larry L. Eastland, the group consisted of EDLA Family Limited Partnership (controlled by Larry L. Eastland), Jay Pitlake, Queenie Lai, Roderick D. Davies, Michael Lempres and Jack Klosterman.  This group amended their preliminary proxy materials on July 6, 2009.  


On September 10, 2009, an expanded group led by Larry L. Eastland filed with the SEC a Consent Solicitation Statement.  This group consisted of Larry L. Eastland, EDLA Family Limited Partnership, Jay Pitlake, Jack Klosterman, Ben Smith, Jay Goldman, Richard Jackson, Robert O’Brien, Queenie Lai, Michael Lempres, Roderick Davis, Mark D. Stubbs, Bart Marcois, Jonathan Wing Lock So and Richard Nguyen Huu Nam.  While this Consent Solicitation Statement did not explicitly state an intention to gain control of the Company, the proposal to shareholders was to expand the size of the board of directors and elect new additional directors who would outnumber the existing group.  In a subsequent joint filing on Schedule 13D on September 21, 2009 by the EDLA Family Limited Partnership, Larry Eastland, Jay Pitlake, Jack Klosterman, Ben Smith, Jay Goldman, Richard Jackson, Robert O’Brien and Mark D. Stubbs, this group stated that their filing of a Consent Solicitation Statement “will have the effect of replacing the current board of directors and changing control of the Issuer.”

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)


Legal Proceedings (continued)


The Company responded by commencing a lawsuit in the Nevada District Court in Clark County, Nevada seeking to enjoin the Consent Solicitation Statement on the grounds that: (i) the expansion of the size of the board of directors called for in the Consent Solicitation Statement violated the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, (ii) the Company’s By-Laws require that directors be elected at an annual meeting of shareholders and (iii) Larry L. Eastland violated his Severance Agreement with the Company by not turning over material corporate records in his possession and was wrongfully using such records to conduct the consent solicitation. On September 25, 2009, the Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining any actions in furtherance of the Consent Solicitation Statement and restraining the group that filed it from making any further filings with the SEC. On October 23, 2009, the group led by Larry L. Eastland and the Company stipulated to an Order extending such Temporary Restraining Order until December 16, 2009. As of May 17, 2010, the Nevada District Court issued a Preliminary Injunction Order dissolving the Temporary Restraining Order and issuing a Preliminary Injunction against the Eastland Group that (i) enjoined them from taking any further action in furtherance of their consent solicitation, (ii) enjoined them from filing with the SEC documents that violate the Company’s Article of Incorporation, as amended, its by-laws and the Nevada Revised Statutes in regard to removing or replacing the board of directors of the Company and (iii) requiring that the Eastland Group and the Company submit to each other all information they have in regard to the actual stockholders of the Company, including the identity of stockholders whose shares are held by registries or other parties.  


11. INCOME TAXES


For the period ended December 26, 2010, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability.  The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $4,763,000 at December 26, 2010, and will expire beginning in the year 2026.
