PART I
ITEM 1. 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 18 bowling centers.
In May of fiscal year 2003 the Company closed Bowl America Silver
Spring, operating in a negative cash flow position, after reaching an agreement
For the sale of the building and ground lease. Consummation of the sale of
that center was effected on August 25, 2003, subsequent to the end of the
fiscal year.
(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
30% of operating revenues. The balance of operating revenues (approximately
70%) represents fees for bowling and related services.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
As of September 1, 2003 the Registrant and its subsidiaries operated
10 bowling centers in the greater metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., one
bowling center 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 18 bowling centers
contain a total of 716 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 accessories. Most
locations are equipped for glow-in-the-dark bowling, popular for parties and
non-league bowling.
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 Bowling Worldwide, 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 700.
(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. Two 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 expire from 2009 through 2014. The specific
locations of the bowling centers are discussed under Item 1 (c).
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to the business.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter ended June 29, 2003.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
MATTERS
The information set forth in the section entitled "Market
Information", "Holders", and "Dividends" on page 3 of the Company's June 29,
2003 Annual Report is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The information set forth in the section entitled "Selected Financial
Data" on page 3 of the Company's June 29, 2003 Annual Report is incorporated by
reference herein. Such information should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The information set forth in the section entitled "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on
page 2 of the Company's June 29, 2003 Annual Report is incorporated by
reference herein.
ITEM 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk. Our short-term investments and certain cash
equivalents are subject to interest rate risk. We manage this risk by
maintaining an investment portfolio of available-for-sale instruments with high
credit quality and relatively short average maturities. The fair value of
marketable debt securities held was $9,505,768 and $8,183,932 at June 29, 2003
and June 30, 2002, respectively. The fair value of certain fixed rate debt
securities will change depending on movements in interest rates. Declines in
interest rates will affect our interest income. Based on our portfolio of debt
securities at June 29, 2003, a 10% decline in the average yield would not have
a material impact on our interest income.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto, the
Independent Auditors' Report and the Selected Quarterly Financial Data
(unaudited), as contained on pages 4 through 12 of the Company's June 29, 2003
Annual Report, are incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None
ITEM 9A. 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 the end of the
period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and
procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule
13a-15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the
fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year ended June 29, 2003 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
September 22, 2003
Dear Fellow Owners:
I concluded last year's Annual Report with another commercial for our
30-year old dividend policy. Specifically, I said that, "More and more
respected voices are now supporting dividends as a method of rewarding ownership
and promoting corporate honesty. Dividends have the benefit of being paid in
cash, not accounting fantasy. The disadvantage is that they are subject to
double taxation. But tax laws can and should be changed."
Imagine my surprise when the tax treatment of dividends did change. I
hope this is only the first step on the part of public policy makers in
recognizing the advantages of investors profiting from owning businesses rather
than profiting from selling pieces of paper. A dividend allows an owner to
profit without selling his assets. If you have to sell your stake to profit,
you face a problem of buying something to replace it. If you think you will get
a fair shake on that transaction, please count the number of stock exchange
members who make the newspapers for violating your trust.
In the classic "fox guarding the henhouse" approach, it is the stock
exchanges that decide the standards for corporate governance of public
companies. The current panacea is control of companies by "independent"
directors. I favor "dependent" control on boards. This has nothing to do with
honesty. Honesty is not based on the dependence or independence of individual
board members. My preference is, however, related to the fact that the
"dependent" directors will be more likely to share in any loss caused by their
decision making. If a director shares with the other owners the risk of loss
from collapse of the enterprise, he or she is more likely to focus on the
company's survival.
It is, therefore, satisfying that our policy of increasing dividends at a
rate greater than inflation has survived for 31 years and that we have already
started on year thirty-two. Our conservative financial management gives us a
cushion for the future, but we would clearly prefer to find additional bowling
center opportunities for a portion of that cushion.
An emphasis on survival does not mean the avoidance of prudent risk. We
have been aggressively working to improve the profitability of our existing
centers. We are seeing signs of our broadening appeal to age groups we
previously underserved. Our Glow-in-the-Dark bowling continues to be successful
and our "All You Can Bowl Nights" made an important contribution to earnings in
the second half of the year. Furthermore, we have grown more sophisticated in
our promotion of bowling parties. In fact, the web site www.bowlingparty.com
belongs to Bowl America and will be running beginning this holiday season.
As often happens, precipitation has influenced our results. While the
winter storms closed us down in the North, we gained throughout the spring and
the first part of fiscal year 2004 from a record number of rainy days.
Customers substituted bowling for outdoor activities. However Hurricane Isabel
provided more rain than our power companies could handle, causing closings in
our bowling centers and disruption of the water supply that is essential to
selling food.
We will not have the drain caused by the operating losses at the bowling
center in Silver Spring, which we have sold. We considered various proposals
for remodeling the facility but were not convinced that we could operate
profitably even with a major physical upgrade. We look forward to fiscal 2004
as being yet another year during which we can sustain the returns you receive
as an owner of this business.
Regards,
Leslie H. Goldberg, President
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal 2003 was $5,451,000 which
was sufficient to meet day-to-day cash needs. Short-term investments consisting
mainly of U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$11,009,000 at the end of fiscal 2003 compared to $9,818,000 at the end of
fiscal 2002.
During fiscal year 2003, the Company expended approximately $1,525,000 for the
purchase of bowling equipment, primarily plastic lane overlays, and restaurant
equipment to improve its facilities. The Company is actively seeking property
for the development of new bowling centers. Cash and cash flows are sufficient
to finance all contemplated purchases and construction and to meet short-term
purchase commitments and operating lease commitments. The Company's holdings
of marketable equity securities, primarily telecommunication stocks, are an
additional source of expansion capital. These marketable securities are carried
at their fair value on the last day of the year. The value of the securities
on June 29, 2003 was $3.9 million compared to approximately $4 million at
June 30, 2002.
Cash dividends of $.48 per share, totaling $2.5 million were paid to
shareholders during the 2003 fiscal year. This was the thirty-first consecutive
year of increased dividends per share. In June 2003, the Company declared a
$.125 per share dividend, an increase over the previous quarterly dividend, to
be paid in August 2003. While no factors requiring a change in the dividend
rate are yet 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 estimate of future opportunities.
In March 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Silver Spring
building and assign the ground lease for $2.3 million subject to certain
conditions precedent to final closing. In May 2003, the Company ceased
operating the facility, and on August 25, 2003, the Company consummated the
final closing of the sale and received the cash proceeds. The Company will
record a gain of approximately $2.1 million in fiscal 2004.
Two leased locations were closed during fiscal 2002. One, operating at break-
even, was closed at the end of the first quarter and the second ceased operation
during the fourth quarter after the Company was unable to negotiate a new lease
for this profitable location.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the peak bowling season of fiscal 2003 nineteen centers were in
operation. In the comparable fiscal 2002 season, twenty locations were
operating and in fiscal 2001, there were twenty-one centers in operation.
The changes in the number of centers in operation affected all income, expense
and comparisons for the periods presented in this report. Fiscal years 2003,
2002 and 2001 each consisted of 52 weeks.
Operating revenues decreased by $525,000 or 2% in fiscal 2003 as like percentage
decreases occurred in both the bowling and other and the food, beverage and
merchandise sales categories. In the prior fiscal year operating revenue
increased $500,000 or 2%. During fiscal 2003 winter snowstorms caused the
closing of all locations in the Company's northern market. The fourth quarter
benefited not only from league play make-up games, but also from rainy weather
which caused people to seek indoor activities. Linage increased over the prior
year despite the operation of one fewer center. While the average game rate was
down in fiscal 2003, promotional pricing during normally slow times resulted in
increased traffic. Ancillary services revenue increased 3% in the current year
and 2% in the prior year.
Food and beverage sales were flat in the current year period, however,
merchandise sales were lower than in the prior year when we reduced sales prices
on merchandise to eliminate overstock. In the current year cost of food,
beverage and merchandise sales decreased 7% primarily as a result of lower
sales. In the prior year cost of sales increased 12%.
Total operating expense decreased approximately $245,000 or 1% in the current
year and was flat in the prior year. Costs for employee compensation and
benefits were flat in the current year although group health insurance costs
were up 12% over the prior year period.
Maintenance costs increased 7% in fiscal year 2003 following a decrease of 10%
in the prior year. While the Company has changed to plastic lanes from wooden
ones at most locations, several centers required resurfacing this year. Last
year, no lanes were resurfaced. Snow removal costs were another item
responsible for the current year increase.
Supplies expenses were down 1% in the current fiscal year and 5% in the prior
fiscal year. Advertising costs were up 3% and down 4%, respectively. Utility
costs dropped 6% in the current year compared to a 1% decline in the prior year.
Rent expense decreased 19% in the current year and 1% in the prior year
primarily as a result of fewer leased locations in operation. Insurance expense
increased 15% in fiscal 2003 and 32% in fiscal year 2002.
Depreciation expenses decreased by $151,000 and $176,000 or 8% and 9% in fiscal
2003 and 2002, respectively. Large assets reaching full depreciation and fewer
locations in operation were responsible for the decreases in both years.
Interest and dividend income declined from the prior year. Although dividend
income was up 7% in the current fiscal year period, the increase could not
offset the decline in interest primarily due to lower interest rates on
investments.
Effective income tax rates for the Company were 35.9% for fiscal 2003, 36.1% in
2002 and 34.7% in 2001, the difference from statutory rates being primarily for
the partial exclusion of dividends received on investments and the state tax
exemption for interest on U.S. Government obligations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified accounting for marketable investment securities under SFAS
115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" as a
critical accounting policy due to the significance of the amounts included in
our balance sheet under the captions of Short-term investments and Marketable
equity securities. The Company exercises judgment in determining the
classification of its investment securities as available-for-sale and in
determining their fair value. The Company records these investments at their
fair value with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred
taxes. Additionally, from time to time the Company must assess whether
write-downs are necessary for other than temporary declines in value.

BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Bowl America Incorporated is engaged in the operation of 18 bowling
centers, with food and beverage service in each center. Ten centers are
located in metropolitan Washington D.C., one center in metropolitan
Baltimore, Maryland, one center in metropolitan Orlando, Florida, three
centers in metropolitan Richmond, Virginia, and three centers in metropolitan
Jacksonville, Florida. These 18 centers contain a total of 716 lanes.
The Company operates in one segment.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its wholly owned subsidiary corporations. All significant inter-
company items have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to June 30. Fiscal
year 2003 ended June 29, 2003, fiscal year 2002 ended June 30, 2002, and fiscal
year 2001 ended July 1, 2001. Fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 each consisted
of 52 weeks.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include
the deferred compensation liability for executives and key employees including
survivor benefits, cash surrender value of officers' life insurance, the Federal
and State income taxes (current and deferred), and market assumptions used in
estimating the fair value of certain assets such as marketable securities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue for fees charged for use of bowling lanes and
other facilities at the time the services are provided. Food, beverage and
merchandise sales are recorded as revenue at the time the product is given to
the customer.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for financial statement purposes are
calculated by use of the straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold
improvements is calculated over the estimated useful life of the asset or
term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The categories of property, plant,
and equipment and the ranges of estimated useful lives on which depreciation
and amortization rates are based are as follows:
Bowling lanes and equipment 3-10 years
Building and building improvements 10-30 years
Leasehold improvements 10 years
Amusement games 3-5 years
Maintenance and repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense when
incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The accounts
are adjusted for the sale or other disposition of property, and the resulting
gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In making such
evaluations, the Company compares the expected future cash flows to the
carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, equal to the difference
between the assets' fair value and carrying value, is recognized when
the estimated future cash flows are less that the carrying amount.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Under this method, deferred income tax liabilities and assets
are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities, using tax rates currently in effect. A valuation
allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax
asset will not be realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of short-term investments and the non-current marketable
security portfolio is disclosed in Note 4.
Investment Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". All of
the Company's readily marketable debt and equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale. Accordingly these securities are recorded at fair value
with any unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net
of deferred taxes, within a separate component of stockholders' equity until
realized. Realized gains or losses on the sale of debt and equity securities
are reported in earnings and determined using the adjusted cost of the
specific security sold.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share basic and diluted, have been calculated using the
weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock
outstanding of 5,145,934, 5,132,083 and 5,222,876, for fiscal years 2003,
2002 and 2001, respectively, and have been adjusted to reflect both the 5% stock
dividend distributed on July 26, 2001 and the 5% stock dividend distributed on
July 26, 2000.
Comprehensive Earnings
In accordance with SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", a
consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings reflecting the aggregation
of net earnings and unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities,
the Company's principal components of other comprehensive earnings, has been
presented for each of the three years in the period ended June 29, 2003.
-8-
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
considers money market funds, certificates of deposits, repurchase agreements
and treasury securities with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Assets Held for Sale
The Company accounts for assets held for sale at the lower of cost or fair
value less costs to sell in accordance with the criteria for SFAS No. 144
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Assets held
for sale are not depreciated.
Other Current Liabilities
Other current liabilities include prize fund monies held by the Company for
bowling leagues. The funds are returned to the leagues at the end of the league
bowling season. At June 29, 2003, and June 29, 2002 other current liabilities
included $352,800, and $365,000, respectively, in prize fund monies.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued. SFAS No. 149 amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for the hedging activities under
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30,
2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption
of SFAS No. 149 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This
Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is
within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of
those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions
of this statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities
in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements." The
remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with the FASB's proposal
to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting
entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the
nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. This
Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after
May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No.150 did not have
any effect on the Company's financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.
2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following:
June 29, June 30,
2003 2002
Demand deposits and cash on hand $ 517,874 $ 688,048
Money market funds 286,439 286,769
Repurchase agreements 699,000 659,000
_________ _________
$1,503,313 $1,633,817
3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND REMAINING LEASE OBLIGATIONS
In March 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Silver
Spring building and assign the ground lease for $2.3 million subject to certain
conditions precedent to final closing. The facility is classified as Assets
Held for Sale at June 29, 2003 and is carried at its net book value of
approximately $118,000. On August 25, 2003, the Company consummated the final
closing of the sale and received cash proceeds and recorded the gain on the sale
of the building.
4. INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposits, U.S. Treasury
securities and a mutual fund which invests in mortgage backed securities
(maturities of generally three months to one year). At June 29, 2003, the
fair value of short-term investments was $9,505,678 with an unrealized gain of
$56,875. At June 30, 2002, the fair value of short-term investments was
$8,183,932 with an unrealized gain of $108,946. Non-current investments are
marketable equity securities which consist primarily of telecommunications
stocks. The Company has classified all readily marketable debt and equity
securities as available-for-sale. These available-for-sale securities
are carried at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115.
The following table summarizes the cost and approximate fair values of
equity securities available-for-sale as of June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002
as follows:
Original Unrealized Fair

8. PROFIT-SHARING AND ESOP PLAN
The Company has a profit-sharing plan which, generally, covers all
individuals who were employed at the end of the fiscal year and had one thousand
or more hours of service during that fiscal year. The Plan provides for Company
contributions as determined by the Board of Directors. For the years ended
June 29, 2003, June 30, 2002, and July 1, 2001, contributions in the amount of
$145,000, $165,000, and $160,000, respectively, were charged to operating
expense.
Effective March 31, 1987, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP) which generally covers all employees who on the last day of the
fiscal year or December 29 have been employed for one year with at least one
thousand hours of service. The Plan provides for Company contributions as
determined by the Board of Directors. Prior to fiscal year 1995, the
contributions were allocated to participants based on compensation and years
of service. Contributions since fiscal year 1995 are allocated based on
compensation only in order to comply with Internal Revenue Service code
requirements. The value of the Company's contributions to the Plan for fiscal
years 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $145,000, $162,600, and $165,100, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bowl America Incorporated
Alexandria, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bowl
America Incorporated and subsidiaries ("the Company")as of June 29, 2003 and
June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and
comprehensive earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended June 29, 2003. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 29, 2003
and June 30, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 29, 2003, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
