BUSINESS (a) General Development of Business Bowl America Incorporated (herein referred to as the Company) was incorporated in 1958. The Company commenced business with one bowling center in 1958, and at the end of the past fiscal year, the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries operated 22 bowling centers. The Company purchased Bowl America Glen Burnie, one of its leased centers, in August 2000. The Company is seeking other new locations and has executed a contract subject to approval of site plans from county authorities to construct a bowling center. (b) Financial Information about Industry Segments The Company operates in one segment. Its principal source of revenue consists of fees charged for the use of bowling lanes and other facilities and from the sale of food and beverages for consumption on the premises. Merchandise sales, including food and beverages, were approximately 28% of operating revenues. The balance of operating revenues (approximately 72%) represents fees for bowling and related services. (c) Narrative Description of Business As of September 1, 2000 the Registrant and its subsidiaries operated 13 bowling centers in the greater metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., two bowling centers in the greater metropolitan area of Baltimore, Maryland, one bowling center in Orlando, Florida, three bowling centers in the greater metropolitan area of Jacksonville, Florida, and three bowling centers in the greater metropolitan area of Richmond, Virginia. These 22 bowling centers contain a total of 854 lanes. These establishments are fully air-conditioned with facilities for service of food and beverages, game rooms, rental lockers, and playroom facilities. All centers provide shoes for rental, and bowling balls are provided free. In addition, each center retails bowling acessories. The bowling equipment essential for the Company's operation is readily available. The major source of its equipment is Brunswick Corporation. The bowling business is a seasonal one, and most of the business takes place from October through May. It is highly competitive, but the Company has managed to maintain its position in the field. The principal method of competition is the quality of service furnished to the Company's customers. Its primary competitors are two large bowling equipment manufacturers, Brunswick Corporation and AMF, Inc. Compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection laws has not materially affected the Company. The number of persons employed by the Company and its subsidiaries is approximately 750. (d) Foreign Operations The Company has no foreign operations. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company's general offices are located at 6446 Edsall Road, Alexandria, Virginia 22312. Five of the Company's bowling centers are located in leased premises, and the remaining seventeen centers are owned by the Company. The Company's leases, giving effect to option renewal periods, expire from 2000 through 2014 and the remainder thereafter. In addition to the above, there is one ground lease which expires in 2058. The specific locations of the bowling centers are discussed under Item 1 (c). ITEM 3.
