BOWL AMERICA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
 
Bowl America Inc. today reported fiscal year second quarter earnings declined to $.06 per share and first-half earnings to $.02 per share, from $.08 and $.09 per share, respectively, for the comparable prior year quarter and six-month periods. Promotional pricing has helped to increase traffic, however the Company believes that people’s persistent unease over their economic stability and employment status affects decisions of financial commitment and discretionary spending.
 
 
Building deep cash reserves during more than 50 years in business has enabled the Company to continue its long-term strategy of paying regular dividends. Tomorrow the Company will pay a per share quarterly dividend of $.16, an increase over the prior quarter, and is hopeful that this will be the 39th consecutive year of increased dividends.
 
 
Bowl America operates 19 bowling centers and its Class A Common Stock trades on the NYSE Amex Exchange with the symbol BWLA. A more detailed explanation of results is available in the Company’s S.E.C. Form 10-Q filing, available at the Company’s web site www.bowlamericainc.com.
