8、ad time to analyze the figures so Id like to confine this meeting to your assessment and conclusions. Helmut, how do you see it? Man2: Very dimly, Im afraid. I see no evidence that the park will return to profitability next year, or for that matter at any time in the foreseeable future. Man3: I dont
9、 believe you have read a single word. Manl: Frank, youll have a chance to give us your point of view in a second. Let Helmut finish first. Man2: Right, as I was saying. Im afraid Megadrome is a lost cause. Weve already lost nearly $ 400, 000 in the last 6 months. We cant afford to continue absorbing
10、 those sorts of losses. I think we should close it down as soon as possible and liquidise our assets. Man3: What do you mean by liquidise our assets?. We wouldnt be able to sell. Manl: Just a moment, Frank, well come to you in a moment. So, let me just summarise. Helmut is for closing the park as so
11、on as possible and selling off the land and property. Is that right? Man2: Yes, I know were not likely to get a very good price for the land but I think were better off selling now rather than waiting another 6 months and finding property prices have fallen even further. Manl: Thank you, Helmut. Pam
12、, whats your view? Man4: Helmuts right when he says weve lost an awful lot of money but I think we have to look at it in the wider European context. All our European parks are going through hard times and entry numbers are down in all cases Man2: Maybe, but nothing like. Manl: Helmut, Lets see what
13、Pam has got to say.

14、ear. Man2: Exactly, thats my point. Manl: Helmut, wed listened to you. Lets listen to Pam now. Man4: Right, so we can anticipate a much reduced number of theme park operations next year. At the same time, most economists are forecasting a recovery throughout Europe from about the middle of next year
15、. Now, at the moment, our customers are staying at home and saving their money but I feel we can expect them to start spending again by the middle of next year. Therell be fewer parks to visit and I think Megadrome could be very well placed to pick up an increased share of the market. Manl: So, your
16、e in favour of keeping it open? Man4: Oh, yes, I am. But at a reduced level through the winter months. Id like Frank to propose a plan for limited opening for the period November to March and then start again with a bang beginning of April in time to catch the Easter holiday business. Manl: Right, P
17、am. So youre in favour of option 2 operating on a much reduced scale for a 5-month period? Man4: Right. Manl: Frank. Youve been very patient. No doubt you see this differently. Man3: Not really. I agree with everything Pam has said, but Im worried about his conclusions. Manl: You mean the 5-month re
18、duced operation? Man3: Thats right. Ill look at that option, of course. But youve got to understand that the largest running cost of Megadrome is the depreciation on all the equipment. If we just open at weekends, for example, weve got to offset a reduced gate income against the same level of deprec
19、iation. Man2: Frank is right. Thats why I feel the only option is to close down and sell off the equipment. Man3: Youve heard what Pam was saying about the state of the market. Theres no way we would find a buyer for the equipment in the present economic climate. Manl: OK, Frank, I can see what your
20、e worried about. Id like you to go away and work on a couple of reduced opening options say, just weekends and a more drastic solution just over the Christmas period.
