11. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END

 

The Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31 to September 30, and its quarterly close dates to the closest Sunday to the end of each reporting period. For the year 2011, the closest Sunday to September 30 was October 2. This decision was made to align the Company’s fiscal periods more closely with the seasonality of its business. The high season typically ends after the Labor Day holiday weekend. The period from October through early March is geared towards maintenance and preparation for the next busy season which typically begins at Spring Break and runs through Labor Day.
