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 Strafford, Missouri (the “Missouri Park”).

The Parks are open year round but experience increased seasonal attendance during the months of 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 and on March 5, 2008, the Company acquired the Missouri Park.
