OVERVIEW

The Company continues to promote and depend upon recreational vehicle camping as the primary source of revenue. The rental of campsites to the general public provides income to cover expenses, complete capital improvements, and allow shareholders up to forty-five free nights camping annually. Additional revenues come from RV storage and spotting, RV service and repair, on-site convenience store, and other ancillary activities such as laundromat, arcade, and bike rental.

 

The RVing public actively seeks accommodations on the Central Coast despite volatile fuel prices and personal financial uncertainties. RVing offers an affordable outdoor recreational experience, and the Company provides quality facilities and services in a highly popular location. Fiscal year-to-date site occupancy is up 4.0%, or 1147 nights, primarily due to weather and the Company donating 705 nights to Thomas Fire evacuees. Based on advanced reservation deposits, occupancy projections are up 5% compared to this time last year. However, prime time reservations are equal to last year. Revenues from ancillary operations such as the General Store, RV Service, arcade, laundromat, and bike rental are down 6.1% year-to-date, and management feels this trend will improve as business moves into the primary camping season. Industry projections anticipate positive business trends and reasonable fuel prices as the summer season approaches.

 

RV storage and towing continue to be a primary source of revenue for the Company. RV storage provides numerous benefits to the customer including: no stress of towing, no need to own a tow vehicle, use of RV by multiple family members, and convenience. Revenues for RV storage and towing are up 6.0% compared to the previous year due to a storage rate increase and greater site occupancy for storage customers.

 

Ongoing investment in resort improvements has assured resort guests and shareholders a top quality, up-to-date facility. This quality and pride of ownership was evident when the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds Park of the Year was awarded to the resort for 2007-08. In addition, in a national “My Favorite Campground” contest sponsored by Woodall’s, Pismo Coast Village was voted as one of the top ten favorite campgrounds for 2011. Also, Pismo Coast Village was one of thirty-two parks nationally to receive an industry rated “A” park from over 33,000 surveys for customer satisfaction in 2016.

 

The Company’s commitment to quality, value, and enjoyment is underscored by the business’s success due to word of mouth and referrals from guests. In addition, investment for online marketing, ads in the leading national directory, and trade magazine advertising formulates most of the business-marketing plan.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company develops its income from two sources: (a) Resort Operations, consisting of revenues generated from RV site rentals, from RV storage space operations, and from lease revenues from laundry, restaurant, and arcade operations by third party lessees; and (b) Retail Operations, consisting of revenues from General Store operations and from RV parts and service operations.

 

Income from Resort Operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, increased $121,788, or 8.4%, from the same period in 2016. This increase is primarily due to a $92,310, or 9.3%, increase in year-to-date site revenue, and a $25,990, or 6.0%, increase in RV storage and towing activity.

 

Seasonal fluctuations within this industry are expected, and management projects that income for the fourth quarter will be approximately 40% of its annual revenue. This approximation is based on historical information.

Income from retail operations decreased by $16,651 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, 6.1% below the same period in 2016. The General Store contributed $7,634, or 5.8%, while the RV Service and Repair decreased revenue by $24,285, or 17.3%, compared to the previous year. This decrease in revenue for the RV Service and Repair operation was due to operating with less RV repair personnel compared to the previous year.

 

The Company anticipates slight to moderate increases in both income from resort operations and in retail operations as the fiscal year progresses.

 

Operating expenses for the three-month period ending December 31, 2017, increased $26,331, or 2.1%, above the same period ended December 31, 2016. This reflects an increase in labor and labor related expenses including medical insurance, credit card expense, computer expense, and vehicle expense. Other operating costs remain consistent with the prior year and are considered well managed to create an effective operation.

 

Cost of goods sold expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, are 44.5%, compared to 41.6% for the same period in 2016, which is within the guidelines established by management for the individual category sales of RV supplies and General Store merchandise.

 

Interest expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $2,408, compared to $20,088 for the same period ending 2016. The current balance reflects payoff of the note payable during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.

 

Income before provisions for income taxes for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 increased by $93,120 above the same period in 2016. This increase in income before provision for income taxes is a result of increased total income.

 

Due to the nature of business and economic cycles and trends, rates may be adjusted accordingly, if deemed necessary. Although the supply-demand balance generally remains favorable, future-operating results could be adversely impacted by weak demand. This condition could limit the Company's ability to pass through inflationary increases in operating costs as higher rates.

 

Increases in transportation and fuel costs or sustained recessionary periods could also unfavorably impact future results. However, the Company believes that its financial strength and market presence will enable it to remain extremely competitive. It is anticipated the published rates will continue to market site usage at its highest value and not negatively impact the Company's ability to capture an optimum market share.

 

LIQUIDITY

The Company's current cash position, as of December 31, 2017, is $2,791,031, which is 5.6% more than the same position in 2016. The cash balance decreased $20,735 from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, due to capital expenditures and payment of employee bonuses. The Company has maintained cash balances in anticipation for large capital expenditures necessary to upgrade the resort. The Company has also maintained a line of credit of $500,000 to insure funds will be available, if required.

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $53,933 above the same period last year and increased $55,486 since the 2017 fiscal year end, which reflects a timing of capital projects, tree service, and accrued vacation. All undisputed payables have been paid in full according to the Company's policy.

 

Working capital increased to $1,090,180 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared with $861,070 at the end of fiscal year 2017.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND PLANNED EXPENDITURES

The Company plans capital expenditures of approximately $900,000 in fiscal year 2018 to further enhance the resort facilities and services. These projects include building a new RV Service and Repair facility, purchase a new trailer tow truck, resort surveillance upgrade, and install HVAC in the general store. Funding for these projects is expected to be from normal operating cash flows and, if necessary, supplemented with outside financing. These capital expenditures are expected to increase the resort’s value to its shareholders and the general public.

 

Capital expenditures are consistent with prior years and operations and are expected to provide adequate resources to support the amounts committed to complete the authorized capital projects during the fiscal year. Second quarter site occupancy and storage fill are expected to be consistent with that of the past year. Capital projects are designed to enhance the marketability of the camping sites and enhance support facilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

 

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Pismo Coast Village, Inc.

165 South Dolliver Street

Pismo Beach, California 93449

 

 

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Pismo Coast Village, Inc., (Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2017, and the related statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flow for the year then ended, and in our report dated November 15, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

Pismo Coast Village, Inc. (Company) is a recreational vehicle camping resort. Its business is seasonal in nature with the fourth quarter, the summer, being its busiest and most profitable.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company's revenue is recognized on the accrual basis as earned based on the date of stay. Expenditures are recorded on the accrual basis whereby expenses are recorded when incurred, rather than when paid.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments including certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

It is the policy of management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at year-end, as well as historical bad debt write-offs, and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts. Management did not believe an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, or December 31, 2016.

 

Inventories

Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are comprised primarily of finished goods in the general store and in the RV shop.

 

Property and Equipment

All property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using straight-line method based on the cost of the assets, less allowance for salvage value, where appropriate. Depreciation rates are based upon the following estimated useful lives:

 

 

Earnings Per Share

The earnings per share are based on the 1,775 shares issued and outstanding. The financial statements report only basic earnings per share, as there are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Advertising

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of non-direct response advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was $10,119 and $12,758 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Advertising expense was included in operating expenses on the statement of operations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

At December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had cash deposits of $892,188, $946,168, and $733,717 in excess of the $250,000 federally insured limit with Pacific Premier Bank, respectively. However, because Pacific Premier Bank is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS), large deposits are divided into smaller amounts and placed with other FDIC insured banks, which are also members of the CDARS network. Then, those member banks issue CDs in amounts under $250,000, so that the entire deposit balance is eligible for FDIC insurance.

 

Subsequent Events

Events subsequent to December 31, 2017 have been evaluated through February 14, 2018, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management did not identify an subsequent events that required disclosure.

 

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset-liability method of computing deferred taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Income Taxes topic 740. ASC 740 requires, among other things, that if income is expected for the entire year, but there is a net loss to date, a tax benefit is recognized based on the annual effective tax rate.

 

FASB ASC 740 also requires, among other things, the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions based on a “more likely than not” (likelihood greater than 50%) approach. As of June 30, 2017, management has considered its tax positions and believes that the Company did not maintain any uncertain tax positions under this approach and, accordingly, all tax positions have been fully recorded in the provision for income taxes. It is the policy of the Company to consistently classify interest and penalties associated with income tax expense separately from the provision for income taxes and accordingly no interest or penalties associated with income taxes have been included in this calculation, or separately in the Statement of Operations and Retained Earnings. The Company does not expect any material changes through December 31, 2018. Although the Company does not maintain any uncertain tax positions, tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 2014 and by the California Franchise Tax Board for fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 2013.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $95,946 and $93,507, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the cost of assets under capital lease was $292,802, $292,802, and $263,077, respectively, and related accumulated amortization was $158,245, $147,336, and $170,547, respectively. Amortization expense on assets under capital lease was $10,909 and $9,775 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK

Each share of stock is intended to provide the shareholder with a free use of the resort for a maximum of 45 days per year. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient funds from the public, the Company may be required to charge shareholders for services.

 

A shareholder is entitled to a pro rata share of any dividends as well as a pro rata share of the assets of the Company in the event of its liquidation or sale. The shares are personal property and do not constitute an interest in real property. The ownership of a share does not entitle the owner to any interest in any particular site or camping period.

 

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, is as follows:

 

 

The Company uses the asset-liability method of computing deferred taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 740. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rates is due primarily to the effects of the graduated tax rates, state taxes net of federal tax benefit, and non-deductible variable cost of shareholder usage.

 

As of December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company’s deferred tax liability was $795,400, $810,600, and $832,300, respectively, Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The majority of the balance is due to timing differences of depreciation expense, caused by the use of accelerated depreciation methods for tax calculations.

 

NOTE 9 - OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases a lot in Oceano, California, to use as storage lot, at $2,933 per month. The lease has converted to a month-to-month lease.

 

The Company has a five-year lease obligation for a copier. Rental expense under this operation lease is $384 per month. Future minimum lease payments under this obligation are as follows:

 

 

Rent expense under these agreements was $9,517 and $9,285 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
