BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Thirteen Weeks Ended
September 28, 2003
(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 June 29, 2003 has been derived
from the Company's June 29, 2003 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 29, 2003.
2. Marketable Equity Securities
Marketable equity securities, available for sale, are carried at fair
value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115.
The telecommunications stocks included in the portfolio as of September 28,
2003 were:
16,835 shares of AT&T Wireless
2,209 shares of Agere
3,946 shares of Alltel
669 shares of Avaya
27,572 shares of Bell South
8,028 shares of Lucent Technologies
9,969 shares of Qwest Communications
45,580 shares of SBC
32,000 shares of SprintFon
16,000 shares of SprintPCS
18,784 shares of Verizon
13,560 shares of Vodafone/AirTouch
3. Commitments and Contingencies
Prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2004, the Company had placed an
order for the purchase of bowling pins totaling approximately $226,800. These
bowling pins were received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004.
In September 2003, the Company signed an agreement with Brunswick
Corporation for approximately $82,000 and with AMF for approximately $31,000
for the purchase of bowling equipment for six locations. The Company is
scheduled to receive delivery of all assets during the second quarter of
fiscal 2004.
4. Assets Held for Sale
On August 25, 2003, the Company consummated the final closing on the sale
of the Silver Spring building and assignment of the ground lease and recorded
the gain on the sale.
5. Reclassifications
Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Short-term investments, consisting mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes,
and cash totaled $11,210,000 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2004 or
$201,000 higher than at the beginning of the quarter.
On August 25, 2003, the Company closed on the sale of the Silver Spring,
Maryland building and assignment of the ground lease for $2.3 million. The
funds were placed in escrow in anticipation of the purchase of another
property. The Company will attempt to qualify the new purchase as a like-kind
exchange in order to defer taxes on the gain from the Silver Spring sale.
In the three-month period ended September 28, 2003, the Company expended
$213,000 for purchases of equipment to modernize facilities and amusement
games. Additional orders for bowling equipment totaling approximately $113,000
have been placed. The Company is actively seeking property for additional
locations. Cash and cash flow are sufficient to finance all currently
contemplated purchases and construction. The Company has also maintained its
fiscal year end 2003 position in marketable equity securities, primarily
telecommunications stocks, as a further 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 September 28, 2003, the market
value decreased by $371,000 to approximately $3,561,000.
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 September 25, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$.125 per share on its Class A and Class B stock to holders of record on
October 15, 2003, payable November 12, 2003.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company ceased business at its Silver Spring location, operating with
negative cash flow, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003. The sale of
the building, as mentioned above, was closed in August. Two leased locations
were closed in fiscal year 2002 at the end of their leases. One center
operating at break-even was closed in the first quarter ended September 30,
2001, and in the fourth quarter of that year, after the Company was unable to
negotiate a new lease, a profitable location ceased operation. These changes
in the number of operating centers affected all income, expense and comparisons
for the periods presented in this report.
Net proceeds of $2,168,117 from the sale of the building are included in
operating income. Additional expenses of approximately $108,400 attributable
to the sale are included in operating expenses, primarily in the employee
compensation and benefits category.
Net earnings were $.31 per share for the thirteen-week period ended
September 28, 2003 versus net earnings of $.05 per share for the thirteen-week
period ended September 29, 2002. The sale of the building, after taxes,
accounted for $.25 per share of the current year quarter earnings.
Operating revenues increased slightly in the current year quarter versus a
decrease of 5% for the prior year three-month period. Hurricane Isabel caused
closings at almost all of the Maryland and Virginia locations in mid-September.
However linage was up over the prior year quarter primarily as a result of
promotional pricing during normally slow times. While the promotion produced
a lower average game rate and bowling revenue for the quarter was flat, at
comparable centers bowling revenue was up 2% over the prior year period.
Food, beverage and merchandise sales were down 1% in the current three-month
period and down 6% in the comparable prior year period due primarily to the
decrease in the number of operating centers.
Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization were up 2% in the
current three-month period and 1% in the comparable period last year. Overall,
items related to the Silver Spring sale included in operating expenses were
responsible for the increase in the current year period. Advertising expenses
increased 12% in the current year period versus a decrease of 14% in the prior
year quarter. Employee compensation and benefits were up 1% in the current
quarter but less than 1% in the prior year quarter.
Supplies and services expenses decreased 17% for the current three-month period
after an increase of 8% in last year's three-month period when new masking
unit graphics were installed at several locations. Utility costs were down 2%
in the current quarter and 11% in the prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 10% in the current year period
and 2% in the comparable period last year primarily due to our operating fewer
centers. Rent expense was down 2% in the current year's three-month period
and 12% in the prior year period due to the closings, mentioned above, of
leased locations.
Insurance expense was down 10% in the current year quarter versus an increase
of 47% in last year's comparable quarter that included dramatic premium
increases from the first renewal after the catastrophic events of
September 11, 2001.
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.
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 $8,175,000 and $7,199,000 at September 28, 2003 and
September 29, 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 September 28, 2003, 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 September 28,
2003. There were no significant changes in internal controls or in other
factors that significantly affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, internal controls during the quarter ended September 28, 2003 or
subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.
