NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Thirteen Weeks Ended
September 29, 1996
1. Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated balance sheets as of September 29, 1996, and
the consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the
three-month periods ended September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995
have been prepared by the Company, without audit.
This quarterly financial information is submitted in response
to the requirements of Form 10-Q and does not purport to be
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. They therefore do not include all
disclosures which might be associated with such statements.
In the opinion of management such information includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 29,
1996, and for all periods presented.
For a summary of significant accounting principles, which have
been continued without change refer to Note 1 to the financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 1996.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
September 29, 1996
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-term investments consisting mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills
and Notes, and cash totaled $7,328,000 at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 or $1,553,000 lower than at the beginning
of the quarter. The decrease relates to the seasonal nature of
bowling participation and expenditures for the expansion of our
Dranesville location and upgrades at other centers. Additional
expenditures are also planned as the Company continues to
modernize other existing centers. Cash flow is sufficient to
finance all currently planned construction. The Company has
maintained its fiscal year end 1996 position in telecommunications
stocks as a further source of expansion capital.
On September 1, 1994, the Company opened Bowl America Gaithersburg,
a 48-lane center with at 170-seat full service, diner style
restaurant. A center was closed in May 1995 at the expiration of
its lease.
Results of Operations
There was a $.02 per share loss in the first quarter of both this
year and last year. Operating revenues decreased 5% this quarter
versus a decrease of 1% in the first quarter last year. Linage
was down for the period however an increase in the average game
rate helped to offset the reduced business. In last year's
quarter, promotional pricing, used in part to support extended
hours of operation, helped to increase open play games but
resulted in a lower average game rate.
Food and beverage sales were down due to decreased traffic. Cost
of food and beverage sales decreased in response to the reduction
in sales.
Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization
decreased 6% in the current quarter versus a slight decrease in
in the comparable quarter last year. Employee compensation and
benefits were down 6% this period versus a 2% increase in the
prior year period.
Advertising costs decreased 12% from the prior year period as
we used print media to a greater extent than in the previous
period. We conducted media campaigns in both quarters. Utility
costs decreased 6% in the current quarter compared to a 2%
increase in the prior year quarter. The increase in the prior
period related to the expense for a new center.
Rent expense decreased 15% in the current 13 week period and 9%
in the prior year period, the decrease a result of reduced sales
at some leased locations. Personal property taxes and insurance
premiums were down for the period.
Increases in depreciation and amortization expense of 2% in the
current quarter relates primarily to the capital expenditures
made in the last six months. The 3% increase in the comparable
quarter last year was due mainly to the Gaithersburg location
being open for the full quarter.
