SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Great
American Family Parks, Inc. (OTC:GFAM) (BULLETIN BOARD: GFAM) (the
"Company") today announced its financial results for the period
ended September 30, 2007. Sales for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2007 decreased by $2.7 million from $3.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $559,712 for the
comparable period in 2007. The decrease in sales was primarily
attributable to the sale of the Crossroads Convenience Center in
2006. Excluding the impact of the sale of the Crossroads
Convenience Center, sales increased by 19% over last year. The
Company achieved gross profit of $391,798 or 69.9% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to gross
profit of 753,143 or 22.4% for the period ended September 30, 2006.
The improved gross margins resulted from the elimination of the
Crossroads Convenience Center, which contributed high sales volume
and low gross margins. About Great American Family Parks, Inc.
Great American Family Parks ("GFAM") is in the business of
acquiring, developing and operating local and regional theme parks
and attractions in the U.S. and internationally. The Company plans
to build a family of parks primarily through acquisitions of small
local regional privately owned existing parks. Its goal is to
develop a series of compatible but distinct entertainment and
amusement products, including themed amusement parks, associated
products, food and beverage, and multimedia offerings. The
implementation of this strategy has begun with themed amusement
parks and attractions. GFAM owns and operates the Wild Animal
Safari theme park, which is located on 200 acres of a 500-acre
plot, and includes a drive-through animal viewing area that opened
in 1991. It is home to more than 1,800 animals from every continent
except Antarctica. Most animals roam wild throughout a natural
habitat of more than 200 acres; the total area utilized will be
increased as further venues are added. In addition to availing
themselves of the amenities described below, visitors to Wild
Animal Safari are able to observe, photograph, and feed the animals
from their own cars as they drive along the more than three miles
of paved roads that run throughout the habitat area. Some animals
are contained in special fenced areas or pens within natural
habitat, and others are located in a more traditional zoo-like
atmosphere. Safe Harbor Statement Safe Harbor Statement Under The
