Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure Announces Change of Fiscal Year
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 11, 2005 -- Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure (BULLETIN BOARD: DJRT) announced today that the company has made a change from fiscal year ending June 30th to a calendar year ending December 31st to better coincide with business planning and strategy. For the 6 month 10K, the company produced $1,200,000 in gross revenue as compared to $1,800,000 in the 12 month 2004 10K.
"Our 6 month 10K numbers included writing off Brett Favre's contract as well as other non cash items totaling over $450,000. Although Brett is still a part of the company, the auditors felt it was a necessary adjustment. These changes will allow our financials to more accurately reflect the current status of the company," said Tim Shannon, President of Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure.
