BOWL AMERICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

Bowl America Incorporated today reported 2012 fiscal third quarter and nine-month earnings of $.25 per share, and $.27 per share, respectively, unchanged from the comparable prior year periods.

The Company believes that unseasonably mild temperatures throughout the quarter, historically the busiest for open play, influenced customers to pursue outdoor activities.

Fiscal 2011 was a 53-week year with the extra week added to the fourth quarter.  Additionally, that quarter included one more week of winter season league bowling than will occur in this year’s fourth quarter.

Payment tomorrow of a $.16 per share regular quarterly dividend will make this the 40th consecutive year of  increased regular 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 through the Company’s web site www.bowlamericainc.com.
