BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
December 29, 2002
1. Basis for Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Bowl America Incorporated and subsidiaries (the "Company"), have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2002
has been derived from the Company's June 30, 2002 audited financial statements.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual
financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company
believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications (all of
which are of a normal, recurring nature) that are necessary for the fair
presentation for the periods presented. It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's latest annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002.
2. Marketable Equity Securities
Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 115.
The telecommunications stocks included in the portfolio as of
December 29, 2002 were:

3. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is expected to receive and install the equipment in the third
quarter of this fiscal year.
In August 2002, the Company signed an agreement with Brunswick Corporation for
the purchase of $597,000 in equipment. These assets were received and
installed in the quarter ended December 29, 2002.
BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
December 29, 2002
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-term investments, consisting mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills
and Notes, and cash totaled $11,300,000 at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2003 or $1,572,000 higher than at the beginning
of the quarter and $1,485,000 higher than at the beginning of the
fiscal year. The increased funds result from operations and reflect
the seasonal nature of the business.
In the six-month period ended December 29, 2002, the Company expended
approximately $1,000,000 for the purchase of bowling and restaurant equipment
and some amusement games as existing locations were upgraded. An additional
order for equipment for approximately $189,000 was placed. The installation
of the equipment will be completed in the third quarter of thes fiscal year.
The Company is actively seeking property for the development of additional
bowling centers. Cash and cash flow are sufficient to finance all contemplated
purchases and construction. The Company's holdings of marketable equity
securities, primarily consisting of telecommunications stocks, are another
potential source of expansion capital.
These marketable securities are carried at their fair value on the last day of
the quarter. For the three-month period ended December 29, 2002, the
market value increased by $1,081,000 to approximately $3,881,000.
Current liabilities include approximately $1,400,000 in league deposits of
prize fund monies that are returned to the leagues at the end of the
bowling season, generally during the fourth quarter.
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.
On December 3, 2002, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$.12 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock, payable February 12,
2003, to holders of record as of January 10, 2003.
Results of Operations
In fiscal year 2002, two centers were closed at the expiration of their
leases. One center, operating at break-even, was closed at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2002, and a profitable center was closed in May 2002
after the Company was unable to negotiate a new lease. The Company also
closed a leased location in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The changes
in the number of centers in operation affected all income, expense and
comparisons for the periods presented in this report.
Net earnings were $.20 per share for the thirteen-week period ended
December 29, 2002, versus net earnings of $.23 per share for the thirteen-
week period ended December 30, 2001. For the current twenty-six week period
net earnings per share were $.25 compared to $.31 for the comparable period
a year ago.
Operating revenues decreased 4% for the three-month period ended December 29,
2002 versus an increase of 4% in the comparable period a year ago. For the
current six-month period operating revenues were down 5% versus a 2% increase
in the prior year six-month period. While games bowled at comparable locations
in the current fiscal year have actually increased, promotional pricing during
normally slow times resulted in a lower average game rate. Food, beverage and
merchandise sales were down 2% in the current year quarter and down 4% in the
six-month period. Cost of sales declined due to the lower sales.
Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization decreased 2%
in the current three and six month periods versus increases of 5% and 4% for
the prior year three and six month periods. Employee compensation and benefits
were up slightly in the current quarter and six-month period but were up 3%
and 2% respectively last year.
Maintenance and repair costs were down 9% in the six-month period ended
December 29, 2002 versus an increase of 10% in the comparable period last
year. While this year's costs include snow removal, last year it was
building repairs that were primarily responsible for the increase.
Advertising costs during the current twenty-six week period decreased 6%
compared to a 22% increase in the prior year comparable period when advertising
in support of glow-in-the-dark bowling was run. Utility costs for the current
quarter were down 4% and down 8% for the six-month period but were flat in
both last year's quarter and six-month periods. Bowling supplies and services
costs were up 2% for the six-month period compared to an 8% decrease in the
prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 5% in the year-to-date
period and 9% in the comparable prior year period. Fewer centers are in
operation and several large capital assets have reached full depreciation.
Rent expense was down 16% in the current year six-month period and 6% in the
prior year comparable period due to the closing of leased centers mentioned
above. Insurance expense increased approximately 42% through the six-month
period ended December 29, 2002 and 10% in the six-month period a year ago.
The bulk of the extraordinary premium increase following 9/11/01 has now been
accounted for and renewal premiums are expected to increase less than 20%.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies have the potential to have an impact on the
Company's financial statements, either because of the significance of the
financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require
judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring at a
specific point in time, events that are continuous in nature. Due to the
nature of its business, the Company has no accounting policies that it
considers critical to the understanding of the Company's financial reporting.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective
based on their evaluation of such controls and procedures as of a date within
90 days prior to the filing of this report. There were no significant changes
in internal controls or in other factors that significantly affect internal
controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.
