BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
March 30, 2003
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

housing the Silver Spring location for $2,300,000. Closing on the sale is

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
March 30, 2003
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-term investments consisting mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes,
and cash totaled $13,282,000 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2003,
or $1,982,000 higher than at the beginning of the quarter. The increased
funds resulted primarily from operations and reflect the seasonal nature of
the business.
During the nine-month period ended March 30, 2003, the Company expended
approximately $1,359,000 for the purchase of bowling and restaurant equipment
and some amusement games as existing locations were upgraded. 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 March 30, 2003, the market
value decreased by $587,000 to approximately $3,294,000.
Current liabilities include approximately $2,133,000 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 March 18, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$.12 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock, payable May 14, 2003,
to holders of record as of April 23, 2003.
The Company has entered into an agreement to sell the building and ground
lease for its only money-losing bowling center, for $2.3 million. The center
closed to the public in May 2003, and while settlement is expected in this
fiscal year, it can be extended by the Company to any date prior to August 30,
2003. The gain resulting from this sale will approach $2,000,000.
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 $.31 per share for the thirteen-week period ended
March 30, 2003, versus net earnings of $.33 per share for the thirteen-
weeks ended March 31, 2002. For the current thirty-nine week period
net earnings per share were $.56 compared to $.64 for the comparable period
a year ago.
Operating revenues decreased 2% for the three-month period ended March 30,
2003, during which snow storms resulted in closings at all of the Company's
northern centers, versus a 1% decrease in the comparable period a year ago.
For the current nine-month period operating revenues were down 3% versus a 1%
increase in the prior year nine-month period. During the current quarter
promotional pricing succeeded in increasing games bowled by 2%, and in
comparable centers, by 6%, at the cost of a reduced average game rate. Food,
beverage and merchandise sales were flat in the current year quarter and down
3% in the nine-month period. Cost of sales was down 4% in the current quarter
and 7% in the year-to-date period.
Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization were down slightly
in the current three-month period and decreased 1% in the nine-month period
ended March 2003. The prior year three-month comparable period showed a
decrease of 1%, but the nine-month period expenses were up 2%. Employee
compensation and benefits were flat in both the current quarter and nine-
month period but were up 4% and 3%, respectively, last year.
Maintenance and repair costs were up 5% in the three-month period ended
March 30, 2003 due mainly to the cost of snow removal in our principal
operating area. Advertising costs during the current nine-month period
were up 6%. Utility costs were flat in the current quarter down 6% for the
nine-month period. Last year costs were down 3% in the quarter and flat
in the nine-month period. Bowling supplies and services costs were down
4% for the nine-month period.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 6% in the current nine-
month period and 10% in the prior year comparable period. Fewer centers are
in operation and several large capital assets have reached full depreciation.
Rent expense was down 16% in the current and prior year nine-month periods
due to the closing of leased centers mentioned above. The Company's
business insurance renews in February. The substantial premium increase
following 9/11/01 was reflected in the periods February through December 2002.
For the current nine-month insurance expense increase 30% and approximately
11% in three-month period ended March 30, 2003.
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.
