Note 1: Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. (the "Company" or "we" or "our" or "Resort") owns and manages a recreational vehicle ("RV") camping resort. Its revenue streams originate primarily from camping site rentals, recreational vehicle storage, tow services, and retail sales through a general store.
The Company operates in one operating segment, as an RV resort. We determine our operating segment considering our overall management structure, how forecasts are approved, and how executive compensation is determined, as well as how our board of directors, who represent our chief operating decision maker, regularly review our operating results, assess performance, allocate resources, and make decisions regarding the Company's operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with these rules and regulations, we have omitted certain information and notes normally provided in our annual financial statements. The Company qualifies as a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and, as such, may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and deferred accounting standards adoption dates, and is relieved of other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to other public companies.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Namely, revenue from property leases is presented as a separate revenue line on the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
These unaudited Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. We base our estimates on both positive and negative evidence, historical experience and information available at the time these estimates are made. Examples of such estimates include estimates of the useful life of long-lived assets, assessments of long-lived asset impairments and allowances for credit losses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, there have been no changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash at several commercial banks in the United States and has significantly more cash and cash equivalents than would be covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporate ("FDIC") insurance with one bank. To ensure that cash remains protected by FDIC insurance, the Company has placed its Cash Reserved for Capital Improvements and Deferred Maintenance in a Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS") account. By using a CDARS account, the Company's large deposits are divided into smaller amounts and placed with multiple FDIC insured banks that are members of the CDARS network. Each member bank issues CDs in amounts under $

Note 8: Income Taxes
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.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Statement on Forward Looking Information
The following analysis discusses the Company's financial condition as of March 31, 2025, compared with March 31, 2024. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Certain information included herein contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements, such as statements relating to anticipated expenses, capital spending and financing sources. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to competitive industry conditions, California tourism and weather conditions, dependence on existing management, leverage and debt service, the regulation of the recreational vehicle industry, domestic or global economic conditions, and changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section is organized as follows:
16
Overview
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. operates as a 400-space recreational vehicle resort located along the coast of Central California. The resort offers a full range of services, such as a general store, video arcade, laundromat, and an RV storage operation.
The Company is authorized to issue 1,800 shares of one class, all with equal voting rights and all being without par value. Transfers of shares are restricted by Company bylaws. One such restriction is that transferees must acquire shares with intent to hold the same for the purpose of enjoying camping rights and other benefits to which a shareholder is entitled. Each share of stock is intended to provide the shareholder with the opportunity for 45 nights of free site use per year. However, if the Company is unable to generate sufficient funds from the public, the Company may be required to charge shareholders for services.
Management is charged with the task of developing sufficient funds to operate the Resort through site sales to general public guests by allocating a minimum of 175 sites for general public use and allocating a maximum of 225 sites for shareholder free use. The other service centers are expected to generate sufficient revenue to support themselves and/or produce a profit.
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 45 free nights camping annually. Additional revenues come from RV storage and spotting, an on-site convenience store, property leases and other ancillary activities such as a restaurant, laundromat, arcade, and recreational activities.
The Central Coast remains a highly sought-after destination for RV enthusiasts actively seeking quality accommodations. RVing continues to provide an affordable and immersive outdoor experience, and the Company is proud to deliver top-tier facilities and services in this popular location.
According to the 2025 KOA Camping & Outdoor Hospitality Report, the outlook for the industry remains strong, with 71% of campers planning trips. Among them, 54% have already booked or plan to book
their stay within five weeks of their trip. Of those planning to camp, 63% are staying within 150 miles of their home.
Many first-time campers prefer campgrounds or outdoor resorts that offer a variety of amenities and services. As a result, they often have good to great experiences. In fact, 87% who report having a great experience are likely to continue to camp in the future. Beach camping has emerged as the top wellness trend, with more campers seeking the calming effects of the ocean. Boomers (68%) and Gen X (63%) are especially drawn to beach walks as a way to unwind.
The rising costs of travel have impacted 8-in-10 campers. Campers are adjusting their travel plans, spending less while traveling without giving up their trips, with only 9% planning fewer nights under the stars compared to last year. Earlier in the year, travelers were optimistic about their ability to spend more on travel experiences, with 74% planning to spend the same or more than in 2024. With recent shifts in the economy, the percentage of travelers who say they plan to spend less while traveling has doubled from 13% to 26% in just three months.
17
RV storage remains in demand and a primary revenue source for the Company. As of March 2025, the waitlist for new storage clients exceeds 300. To meet this demand, the Company is progressing with plans to develop an estimated 150-unit storage facility on a new 4.42 acre property in Nipomo. RV storage offers customers several advantages, including eliminating the stress of towing, reducing the need to own a tow vehicle, enabling shared use among family members, and providing added convenience.
Continued investment in resort enhancements remains a top priority to ensure a premier experience for both guests and shareholders. The resort is recognized as a leader in the industry, with accolades from reputable organizations such as Good Sam for its exceptional facilities and high standards. The Company's dedication to quality, value, and customer satisfaction is reflected in its success, driven by repeat business, positive word of mouth, and guest referrals.
The Company's marketing strategy focuses on digital platforms, social media content, advertising in national directories, and placements in leading trade magazines. These initiatives are designed to strengthen the Company's visibility and ensure sustained growth in the highly competitive outdoor hospitality market.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's policy is to use its ability to generate operating cash flow to meet its expected future needs for internal growth. The Company has continued to maintain sufficient cash so as to not require the use of a short-term line of credit during the off-season period, and the Company expects to be able to do so (although no assurance of continued cash flow can be given).
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is due to the timing of customer deposits, which are generally required six months in advance, so significant deposits are received in the six months prior to the summer season.
Working capital was $9.4 million at the end of both March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
The Company plans approximately $1.1 million of additional capital expenditures in fiscal year 2025 to further enhance the Resort facilities and services. The most significant capital project is development of the 4.42 acre property in Nipomo for RV Storage. In addition, the Company is in the process of renovating the mini golf course. Funding for these projects is expected to come from normal operating cash flows and cash reserves. These capital expenditures are expected to increase the Resort's value to its shareholders and the general public.
18
With the possibility of requiring additional funds for planned capital improvements and the winter season, the Company maintains a $500,000 Line of Credit to ensure funds will be available if required. In anticipation of future large projects, the Board of Directors has instructed management to build operational cash balances. The Company has no other liabilities to creditors other than current accounts payable arising from its normal day-to-day operations, financing associated with the company's annual corporate insurance policy and financing leases, and advance Resort rental reservation deposits, none of which are in arrears.
The Board of Directors continues its previously established policy of adopting a stringent conservative budget for fiscal year 2025, which projects a positive cash flow of approximately $1.0 million from operations. This projection is based on paid site occupancy reflecting similar occupancy as experienced in fiscal year 2024. While the Company projects a positive cash flow, this cannot be assured for fiscal year 2025.
Results of Operations
The Company's revenue streams originate primarily from three sources: (a) RV camping site rentals, (b) RV storage & towing fees, and (c) retail sales through a general store. In addition, the Company generates revenue from leases of real property, such as our RV retail storefront, RV repair facility and cell towers on our real property and from other ancillary services, such as the restaurant, arcade and laundromat.

Overall, total revenue was relatively flat in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 (a $31,000 or 2% increase).
RV camping site rental revenues increased $9,000 to $1,246,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $1,237,000 in the same period of 2024 primarily due to a $5 per night rate increase (7%) offset by the impact of 2% lower occupancy during 2025 than 2024. Occupancy was lower in 2025 than 2024 because of the timing of weekends and holidays during the calendar quarter.

RV storage & towing fees increased $38,000 to $481,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $443,000 in the same period of 2024, due to a $5 per month rate increase effective January 2025 while our storage lots continued to be at full capacity and fluctuations in occupancy that impact towing fees.
Retail store revenues increased $4,000 to $140,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $136,000 in the same period of 2024 due to the offsetting impact of occupancy and product mix. The company strives to maintain consistent pricing, which leads to moderate margins for staples such as groceries, ice, wood, and RV parts. Demand for logo-based merchandise drove up revenue as guests purchased newly offered premium apparel items.
Property lease income, which is primarily associated with rental of the RV repair facilities, decreased $23,000 to $57,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $80,000 in same period of 2024 due to a delayed lease renewal from 2023.
Operating expenses increased $173,000 to $1,941,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $1,768,000 in same period of 2024. The increase is primarily due an $87,000 increase in professional fees associated with accounting, payroll and compliance, a $43,000 increase in energy costs, and a $34,000 increase in storage operating costs.
Cost of goods sold decreased $8,000 to $72,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $80,000 in the same period of 2024 primarily due to the mix of products sold in the store. During 2024 we sold an increased proportion of higher margin apparel as our guests are enjoying new logo apparel.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $40,000 to $140,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $100,000 in the same period of 2024 due primarily to depreciation on three new tow vehicles that were put in service and additional equipment leases in late 2024.
Other income and expense, net increased $28,000 to $82,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $54,000 in the same period of 2024, primarily because of additional interest on increased cash reserves, as well as increased interest rates in 2025 compared to 2024.
Although the supply-demand balance generally remains favorable, future-operating results could be impacted by changes in inflation and the economy that lead to increases or decreases in demand. Depending on the nature of business and economic cycles and trends, rates may be adjusted accordingly, if deemed necessary. Changes in demand could limit the Company's ability to pass through inflationary increases in operating costs as higher rates.
Additionally, increases in transportation and fuel costs or sustained recessionary periods could unfavorably impact future results. However, the Company believes that its financial strength and market presence will enable it to remain extremely competitive. The company intends to continue to market site usage at its highest value and believes that currently this will not negatively impact the Company's ability to capture an optimum market share.

Operating expenses increased $223,000 to $3,942,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $3,719,000 in same period of 2024. The increase is primarily due a $277,000 increase in professional fees associated with accounting, audit and compliance and a $46,000 increase in utilities expenses. These additional expenses were offset by a $101,000 decrease in facility related costs due to fewer maintenance projects.
Cost of goods sold decreased $19,000 to $148,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $167,000 in the same period of 2024 primarily due to the mix of products sold in the store.

Seasonality
The business of the Company is seasonal and is concentrated on prime days of the year which are defined as follows: President's Day weekend, Easter week, Memorial Day weekend, summer vacation months, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving week, and Christmas/New Year's week.
Occupancy is impacted by weather patterns, as demand decreases during the rainy season and also in years with more rain. Additionally, occupancy within any particular quarter is impacted by the timing of weekends and holidays within that calendar quarter.
Due the seasonal impact, fall and winter months derive less revenue and profit than the rest of the year. Revenue, paid occupancy and income (loss) from operations for the past nine quarters were as follows:

Occupancy during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was slightly less than the same period of 2024 due primarily to the timing of weekends and holidays. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was slightly up from the same period of 2024, due primarily to the $5 per night rate increase established during 2024. Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased compared to the same period of 2024 due primarily to increased professional advisor fees associated with the annual independent audit.
Occupancy during the quarter ending June 30, 2025 is expected to be seasonally higher than the three months ended March 31, 2025, because it is spring, resulting in higher revenue and profitability.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In some cases, management could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's financial condition or results of operations will be affected.
Management bases estimates upon past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Financial Statements of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no changes to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended March 31, 2025.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as defined in Rules 13a-I5(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the 1934 Act. Our ICFR is intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our ICFR is expected to include policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:
1. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company
2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
3. provide reasonable assurance regarding the 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.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect of financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
Controls Assessment
As of September 30, 2024, management with the participation of our CEO, General Manager and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) based on the criteria for effective ICFR established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments by smaller reporting companies and non-accelerated filers. Based on that assessment, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective during periods covered by this report (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
In connection with our management's assessment of controls over financial reporting during the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, we identified a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
25
The material weakness that we identified is that we did not have sufficient qualified internal resources related to internal controls over financial reporting. To address this material weakness, during the first quarter of 2024 we evaluated our ongoing staffing requirements, appointed a new CFO and implemented additional review controls to ensure timely and accurate reconciliations, as well as proper financial reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, management further supplemented the company's internal accounting resources with an experienced temporary controller consultant who was responsible for reviewing our internal control processes and performing second level reviews of financial reporting under the oversight of the recently appointed Chief Financial Officer. As of March 31, 2025, we conclude that we have not sufficiently remediated this control deficiency because the additional controls have not been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
