Vertical Acquisition Allows Entry into One of the Fastest Growing
Industries in U.S. SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Great American Family Parks, Inc.
(OTC:GFAM) (BULLETIN BOARD: GFAM) today announced that it has
acquired Park Staffing Services, a flexible staffing (also known as
temporary staffing) firm based in Bakersfield, CA. PSS provides
manufacturing, construction, service and office personnel on a
contractual basis. PSS will be expanded to manage staffing of the
amusement attractions that GFAM's theme park division will acquire.
It will also continue to actively expand its flexible staffing
services throughout the nation. Park Staffing Services generated
revenues of $6,911,266 in 2006 and has shown solid profits
throughout much of its long history. New contracts obtained because
of its acquisition by GFAM are expected to substantially improve
future revenues and profits. PSS was purchased through equity and
debt, with no external financing needed. Founded in 1979, PSS
developed its client and employee base on a methodical and
financially-sound basis to over 3,000 current employees on the
present payroll with an efficient in-house staff of only eight. Dr.
Larry Eastland, Chairman and CEO of GFAM said: "We are very excited
to have this important addition to our company. Temporary, seasonal
and part- time employees make up the vast majority of the employees
in a theme park or attraction. This gives us the opportunity to
consolidate this important function for our current park, and those
we are working to acquire. Additionally, it brings revenues to GFAM
from more diversified sources, revenues that are expected to be
more than five times our current revenues in 2008." Dr. Eastland
added: "This has been a very good year for GFAM so far in 2007. We
have moved into profitability, the "going concern" issue has been
removed from our audit, our Wild Animal Safari park continues to
grow at about 16 percent per year in revenues, and now we have been
able to acquire an additional company without resorting to outside
financing. We are very pleased." National Staffing Services
