BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
December 26, 1999
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-term investments, consisting mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills
and Notes, and cash totaled $11,266,000 at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 or $2,262,000 higher than at the beginning
of the quarter.
Since July 1999, the Company has expended $762,000 for the purchase of
107320 shares of its previously outstanding common stock. Subsequent
to the end of the quarter, an additional 38,896 shares were purchased
at a cost of $287,000.
The Company is actively seeking property for development of additional
centers. Cash and cash flow are sufficient to finance all currently
planned purchases and construction. The Company's marketable securities,
primarily in telecommunications stocks are another source of expansion
capital.
These securities are carried at their fair value on the last day of the
quarter. For the six-month period ending December 26, 1999, the
market value increased by approximately $2,209,000 resulting in an
unrealized after tax gain of $1,369,000.
While no factors requiring a change in the dividend rate are apparent,
the Board of Directors decides the amount and timing of any dividend
at its quarterly meeting based on its appraisal of the state of the
business and its estimate of future opportunities.
The Company closed a center operating with a negative cash flow in May 1999.
Results of Operations
There was a $.22 per share profit for the thirteen-week period ending
December 26, 1999, versus an $.18 per share profit for the thirteen weeks
ended December 27, 1998. For the current twenty-six week period
earnings per share were $.29 compared to $.19 for the comparable period
a year ago.
Operating revenues increased 6% for the current six-month period
versus a decrease of 1% in the comparable period a year ago.
Open play and special event bowling improved and the average game
rate was up over the prior year period minimizing the effect of
decreased league bowling. Increases in ancillary revenues are the
result of the higher casual bowler traffic. However, winter storms
since the end of the quarter will affect linage and revenues in the
third quarter.
For the six-month period food, beverage and merchandise sales were up
5% versus a 2% decrease in the prior year six-month period. Cost of
sales increased due to the higher sales.
Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased 1%
in the current six-month period versus a 4% decrease in the comparable
period last year. Employee compensation and benefits were up 2% this period
versus no change in the prior year period.
In the current six-month period supplies and services expense decreased 2%.
Advertising costs increased 15% from the prior six-month period partially
due to support of glow-in-the-dark bowling. Equipment expense increased in
the current year by 5% primarily due to the higher costs associated with
bowling pins and rental shoes. Utility costs were flat in the current
six-month period. Weather related utility costs and snow removal costs
could influence third quarter results.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 2% in the current year
period versus an increase of 1% in the comparable period last year.
Rent expense decreased 12% in the current period mainly due to the closing
of a leased center.
YEAR 2000
Bowl America has experienced no Year 2000 related problems to date with
either internal operations or vendors.
