ITEM 8.01 - Other Events
As part of our ongoing evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, and in connection with responding to SEC comments, management of Parks! America, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it will amend its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013 to include segment data reporting in the footnotes of our financial statements and in the section entitled, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” In our financial statements up to and including the financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012, we included segment data regarding the operations of our two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Wild Animal Safari, Inc., a Georgia corporation that owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park in Pine Mountain, Georgia, and (ii) Wild Animal, Inc., a Missouri corporation that owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari theme park located in Strafford, Missouri. Following a refinancing of the Company’s mortgage debt, we formed the view that segment reporting was not material to our financial presentation. Consequently, we omitted the segment reporting footnote in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013. By amending those reports, we are reversing that decision. No other adjustments will be made to those financial statements other than to add the segment reporting data as described above. The addition of this data will not have any impact on the reported results of operations or on the comparative balance sheets for such periods.
We believe the segment data is helpful to the reader and that the omission of the segment data reflects a weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures which form a part of our overall system of internal controls. As a result, in each amended quarterly report we will revise our conclusions as to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. We will address this weakness by amending the above identified quarterly reports and by including segment reporting in future filings.
