BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended April 1, 2007 (Unaudited) 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 July 2, 2006 has been derived from the Company's July 2, 2006 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 July 2, 2006. 2. Marketable Equity Securities Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115. At April 1, 2007, the fair value of these securities was $5,704,226, with an original cost of $734,489, resulting in an unrealized gain of $4,969,737. The telecommunications stocks included in the portfolio as of April 1, 2007 were: 82,112 shares of AT&T 9,969 shares of Qwest Communications 220 shares of Agere 40,000 shares of Sprint 3,946 shares of Alltel 18,784 shares of Verizon 669 shares of Avaya 11,865 shares of Vodafone 2,000 shares of Embarq 4,079 shares of Windstram 939 shares of Idearc 3. Commitments and Contingencies The Company's purchase commitments at April 1, 2007 are for materials, supplies, services and equipment as part of the normal course of business. 4. Employee Benefit Plans The Company has two defined contribution plans with Company contributions determined by the Board of Directors. The Company has no defined benefit plan or other postretirement plan. 5. Reclassifications Certain previous period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Short-term investments consisting mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes, and cash totaled $13,506,000 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2007, or $4,460,000 higher than at the beginning of the fiscal year and $2,515,000 higher than at the beginning of the third quarter. The increases came primarily from operations, including a new bowling center that opened in January 2006, and league prize fund deposits. The increases also reflect the seasonal nature of the business, which is strongest during cold weather months. During the nine-month month period ended April 1, 2007, the Company expended approximately $550,000 for the purchase of entertainment and restaurant equipment. The Company is actively seeking property for additional locations. The Company has made no application for third party funding as cash and cash flow are sufficient to finance all currently contemplated purchases and to meet short term-commitments. The table below summarizes these obligations as of April 1, 2007. The Company's holdings of marketable equity securities, primarily consisting of telecommunications stocks, are another potential source of expansion capital. These securities are carried at their fair value on the last day of the quarter. For the three-month period ended April 1, 2007, the market value increased by $374,000 to approximately $5,704,000. Contractual Total Less Than 1-3 3-5 More Than obligations 1 Year Years Years 5 Years Operating lease obligations $876,613 $272,460 $237,486 $176,000 $190,667 Purchase obligations - Total $876,613 $272,460 $237,486 $176,000 $190,667 Current liabilities increase during the first three quarters of the fiscal year as leagues deposit prize fund monies with the Company throughout the league season. These funds are returned to the leagues at the end of the bowling season, generally in the fourth quarter. At April 1, 2007 approximately $2,347,000 in league deposits were included in the current liabilities category. While no factors calling for 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 20, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.145 per share on its Class A and Class B stock to holders of record on April 25, 2007, payable May 16, 2007. Per share dividends have increased for 35 consecutive years. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company opened a new bowling center west of Richmond, Virginia in January 2006 and temporarily closed an existing bowling center in Falls Church, Virginia in February 2007 when its roof was damaged by an ice storm. The center remains closed for repairs, currently in progress, and engineering studies that are continuing. The date of reopening remains uncertain. These events are the most important influences on revenues and expenses covered in this report. Management has not completed its analysis of expected insurance recovery, but the Company believes it will recover at least $176,000 for the period February 19, 2007 through April 1, 2007. Net earnings of $1,778,284 and $1,699,220 for the quarters ended April 1, 2007, and April 2, 2006, resulted in per share earnings of $.35 and $.33 for the thirteen-week periods, respectively. For the current thirty-nine week period net earnings were $3,470,790 or $.68 per share compared to $3,017,678 or $.59 per share for the comparable period a year ago. Total operating revenues increased $264,000 or 3% in the current year quarter ended April 1, 2007, and $755,000 or 9% in the comparable period ended April 2, 2006. For the nine-month periods operating revenues were up $1,751,000 in the current year and $1,676,000 in the prior year, an 8% increase in both periods. Operating revenues from bowling and other showed increases of $72,000 or 1% and $1,182,000 or 7% in the current quarter and nine-month periods, respectively. Increases of $514,000 and $1,182,000 resulted in 8% hikes in both the quarter and year-to-date periods ended April 2, 2006. Food, beverage and merchandise sales were up $16,000 or 1% in the current year quarter and up $393,000 or 6% in the nine-month period, versus increases in the prior year of $241,000 or 10% and $489,000 or 8% for the quarter and year-to- date, respectively. Operating expenses were up $236,000 or 3% and $1,252,000 or 7% in the current three-month and nine-month periods, respectively, versus increases of $758,000 or 12% and $1,498,000 or 8% in the three and nine-month periods last year when pre-opening expenses for Bowl America Short Pump contributed to the current quarter and year-to-date costs. Employee compensation and benefits were up $170,000 or 5% in the current three- month period and up $693,000 or 7% in the nine-month period. In the prior fiscal year this category showed increases of $270,000 or 8% and $660,000 or 7% for the comparable periods, respectively. The Company has two employee benefit plans, a profit sharing plan and an employee stock ownership plan, both of which are defined contribution plans. Cost of food, beverage and merchandise sales decreased $42,000 or 5% in the quarter and were flat in the nine-month period. Cost of bowling and other services increased $249,000 or 5% in the nine-month period ended April 1, 2007 and increased $604,000 or 13% in the comparable period last year. Maintenance and repair costs were up $15,000 or 2% over the prior year increase of $188,000 or 37% in the nine-month period ended April 2, 2006, due, in part, to major plumbing related repairs in both years. Advertising costs during the current thirty-nine week period decreased $75,000 or 14% versus an increase of $51,000 or 10% in the prior year comparable period that included advertising for the new location. Utility costs for the quarter were up $11,000 or 3% and $49,000 or 5% for the nine-month period ended April 1, 2007, respectively versus an increase of $47,000 or 15% and $148,000 or 16%, respectively, for the comparable periods last year. Bowling supplies and services costs were up 28% for the nine-month period compared to a 7% increase in the prior year nine-month period. Rent expense was flat in the current year-to-date period and was down 10% in the prior year period primarily due to lower common area maintenance fees. Casualty insurance expense decreased 12% through the nine-month period ended April 1, 2007, compared to a 10% increase in the nine-month period a year ago. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 8% in the current year-to-date period, reflecting depreciation and amortization expense for the new location. Interest and dividend income increased 20% in the quarter and 32% in the nine- month period ended April 1, 2007, as a result of higher investments, interest rates and dividends. 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. We have identified accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets under SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" as a critical accounting policy due to the significance of the amounts included in our balance sheet under the caption of Land, Buildings and Equipment. 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 than the carrying amount. ITEM 3. 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 $10,549,000 and $9,559,000 at April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, 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 April 1, 2007, a 10% decline in the average yield would have no material impact on annual interest income. 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 April 1, 2007. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended April 1, 2007, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Current period results include an adjustment for expected insurance recovery for the temporary closure of one bowling center midway through the quarter due to roof damage. Fourth quarter earnings, even with insurance reimbursement, will be negatively affected as the location remains closed while engineering studies and repairs, currently underway, are made. However, it is expected that a strong tournament schedule in the quarter will help to mitigate the impact. The $.145 quarterly dividend being paid tomorrow will make this the 35th consecutive year of increased dividends per share.
