These tables did not post very well, if you are interested you can read Fountains 10K @:

http://sec.freeedgar.com/displayText.asp?ID=2004757

This report was filed with the S.E.C. today.

bajadude 09-30-2002 02:50 PM

The 10K makes for a very interesting read :eek:

dockrocker 09-30-2002 02:50 PM

Ouch! If I'm reading this correctly (a big IF), they lost over $7 million in 2002! That's a lotta boats...

jdnca1 09-30-2002 03:55 PM

Havn't read the 10K, but you gotta love the "impairment charge";) :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

bajadude 09-30-2002 04:10 PM


they lost over $7 million in 2002! That's a lotta boats...
according to the 10K, boat production went from 446 in '00 to 231 in '02. Ouch! I know a lot depends on the mix (lengths and models), but a 50% decline in production over 2 years, :eek:

wilerty 09-30-2002 04:25 PM

An interesteing note from the 10K ...

1. They sold 231, 330, and 446 boats in the fiscal years 2000, 2001, and 2002 respectively. Quite a drop ... and that's all boats. In sport boats it was 115, 219, and 325 ... which is worse.

enticer 09-30-2002 04:27 PM

BUT...there stock is up 220% since last year.........I did get out with a postive to the high side

pwrbotr 09-30-2002 04:40 PM

Looks like a corelation with the performance of the market:eek: :mad:

Looks like mk EKG:D

There were definitely some good opportunities to long and short that puppy! Those are huge percentage swings.

TulsaLarry 09-30-2002 05:13 PM

Bajadude:

Keep in mind the Fountain is a low volume stock trading an average of just over 12,000 shares per day. If a person with some serious money decided to play this stock the volume probably would not support large trades, either up or down. You are right about the large swings but I suspect you could only catch those swings with relatively small trades.

bajadude 09-30-2002 05:19 PM

TulsaLarry,

Of course your right. I can't imagine what the bid / ask spread on something like that has been.

SABER28 09-30-2002 05:20 PM

i'm not an accountant, what is an imparment charge?

bajadude 09-30-2002 05:31 PM


what is an imparment charge?
It happens when an asset, (like goodwill) turns out to be less that its book value. The impairment charge reflects the difference.
Some times it relates to plant and equipment

In this case, not sure what it is, but the 10K says "after additional expense of $1,182,320 for impairment of long-lived
assets in Fiscal 2002."

Basically something is no longer worth what they previoulsy said it was.

jdnca1 09-30-2002 05:34 PM

the 10k is vague....won't go into what the writedown was from. There probably isn't much stock out there to borrow, but with those financials tied with the current economy...what a short opportunity;)

Pete B 09-30-2002 05:38 PM

maybe left overs from 2001????

TulsaLarry 09-30-2002 05:40 PM

The impairment charge came from molds and race boats:

During Fiscal 2002, the Company
recorded a loss on impairment of $1,112,320 in accordance with SFAS No.
121 "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of" on certain molds and racing boats to adjust
the respective assets to their net realizable value.

Waterfoul 09-30-2002 05:43 PM

Ooops....I thought that said Fountain Earings.....thought Reggie had come out of the closet. By the 10k though, maybe he should hide in one for a while....

SABER28 09-30-2002 05:44 PM

what would you guys rate the financial condition of this company? is it reversable? or are they in a 20 foot hole with a 6 foot ladder? i'm not looking for a "death watch", but i think that all potential fountain buyers might be wise to consider the possiblity of owning an "orphan". does reggie still own over 50% of the company? just wondering if somebody could stage a takeover?

Back4More 10-01-2002 10:47 AM

Yeah, Its called a buyout...Mercury Marine owned by Brunswick.

SABER28 10-01-2002 05:38 PM

why would mercury want fountain? don't beat me here, but i never heard that fountain has been all that profitable?do you guys think it's going to sit well with reggies ego:p to have to answer to a bunch of investor types all day? you would think mercury would have bought cigarette, after all cig. is THE name i would want. and this economy, how smart is it to buy a financially struggling company, sorry i do not see that many benifits:(

Back4More 10-01-2002 06:19 PM

Fountain Powerboats is in major debt with Mercury Marine.
I thought I heard that the lease on Lake-X was done and Mercury wants Fountain because of their location.
As for Cigarette...Skip has his hands full straightning that mess he bought into.

Magicfloat 10-01-2002 06:52 PM

Back4more,I believe you are correct on all points. Lake X,unfortunately,will soon be history. The Palmico River might fit in.

TulsaLarry 10-01-2002 07:56 PM

Did you look to see who was on the Board of Directors @ Fountain? There are some local yokals and then you have:


Anthony J.-------Executive Vice 1999 Our executive officer since
Romersa ------- President, August 1998; previously
(56) ------ Chief Operating served as Director of
----- Officer Planning - Marine Operations
------- and Director for Brunswick Corp., Lake

David L. Woods Director 2001 Co-owner and manager, Woods &
(43) McCauley, LLC, dba Pier 57
Boat Sales and Service,
Counce TN (boat sales and
service)


These guys would have influence over any buyout.

Reindl Powerboats 10-01-2002 08:12 PM

Been talking about a buyout forever now. Will happen when the price is right and Reggie wants it to happen. Which may be soon, may be never. Speculation is just that.

SABER28 10-02-2002 12:52 AM

buyout when reggie wants it to happen? how many years can he lose 7 million? do you think next year is going to be any better with the economy tanking. seems to me ,although i'm not an accountant, that fin. statement doesn't look like they can afford another year like last:(

jdnca1 10-02-2002 07:15 AM

When the banks turn off the spicket is when the chapter 11 will happen:rolleyes: Reggie will only be a spectator at that time because GE capital and the other creditors will be in TOTAL control of Fountains fate. ;)

SABER28 10-02-2002 08:26 AM

jdnca1,

fill me in , chapter 11, is that reorganization or liquidation? how can you sell boats at those prices and not make money:rolleyes: , how will powerboat make it without his ad cash every month?:p

jdnca1 10-02-2002 09:07 AM

11 is reorginization. It's called to many incentives and giving away your margins to keep the production lines going :rolleyes:

Back4More 10-02-2002 10:37 AM

BTW...Reggie owns a lot more than just Fountain Powerboats.
He's very bussiness savvy...thats why its publicly traded, OPM.

SABER28 10-02-2002 06:27 PM

looks like the "marketing genius" better think quick:p you guys know i'm not the biggest r.f. fan , but his company going down is not something you like to hear:(

seems to me , it's a vicious circle, advertise less(no 6 pages in this month powerboat) sell less boats, make less money
