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 1, 2012 has been derived from the Company's 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 not misleading.

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. New Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance amends the presentation of changes in accumulated other comprehensive income and requires an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income either on the face of the net income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2013, as required. There was no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from the adoption.

6. Conversion of Shares of Class B Common Stock

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, 53,945 shares of Bowl America Class B Common Stock were converted into 53,945 shares of Bowl America Class A Common Stock, increasing the total number of outstanding Class A shares to 3,736,954 and decreasing the total number of Class B outstanding shares to 1,414,517 as of March 31, 2013. Class B shares, which have the right to 10 votes per share, are not traded on any exchange and can be converted into Class A shares at any time. Class A shares cannot be converted into Class B shares.

7. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing these financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2013, and has determined that no material subsequent events have occurred.

8. 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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements concerning our business, operations and financial performance and condition as well as our plans, objectives and expectations for our business operations and financial performance and condition that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and our management’s beliefs and assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or development and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in some cases beyond our control. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as the date hereof. We are under no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company views a strong financial position as a major benefit to shareholders and emphasizes payment of dividends as part of its financial plan. A portion of earnings has consistently been invested to create a reserve to protect the Company in downturns in business, to capitalize on opportunities for expansion and modernization and to provide a secure source of income. For these reasons, the Company prefers a conservative approach to investing rather than taking greater risk for possible rapid growth. The Company balances market volatility by using both fixed income and equity investments in managing its reserve funds. Any equity security is subject to price fluctuation, however, the stocks held by the Company have relatively low volatility. The Company has long been invested in a Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae” or “GNMA”) fund and domestically domiciled stocks with the perceived potential of appreciation, primarily telecommunications stocks. The Company considers that this diversity also provides a measure of safety of principal.

The Company purchased 5,000 shares of Verizon for $178,200 in the quarter ended January 1, 2012. The remainder of common stocks in our portfolio have come from spin-offs, mergers and acquisitions of AT&T and United Telecommunications (now Sprint) purchased in 1979 and 1984 and from one insurance company acquired at no cost when that company demutualized. While not all stocks in the portfolio are domestic American companies any longer, since the original purchases at an approximate cost of $630,000, we have received approximately $962,000 from mergers and sales, and over $3,200,000 in dividends, the majority of which are tax favored in the form of exclusion from federal taxable income. The fair value of the securities on March 31, 2013 was approximately $5,085,000.

The Company’s original investment in the Vanguard GNMA bond fund began in 1988 with purchases of shares in the fund totaling approximately $1,400,000. Except for a one time sale of approximately $666,000 in 1991, all earnings have been reinvested. The fund is carried at fair value on the last day of the reporting period. At March 31, 2013, the value was approximately $3,532,000.

Short-term investments consisting mainly of Certificates of Deposits, cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,448,000 at the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2013 compared to $6,196,000 at the end of fiscal 2012. As noted below, short-term investments were used, along with cash on hand, to fund the dividends paid to shareholders during the quarter ended December 30, 2012.

The Company’s position in all the above investments is a source of expansion capital. Potential volatility in the trading prices of the marketable securities held by the Company could impact the Company’s opportunities for expansion. The Board of Directors reviews the portfolio weekly and any use of this reserve at its quarterly meetings.

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company expended approximately $739,000 for the purchase of building, entertainment and restaurant equipment. The Company has made no application for third party funding as cash and cash flows are sufficient to finance all contemplated purchases and to meet short-term purchase commitments and operating lease commitments.

Current liabilities generally 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 March 31, 2013, league deposits of approximately $2,123,000 were included in the current liabilities category.

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the thirty-nine weeks ended March 31, 2013 was $5,189,000 which, along with cash on hand and short-term investments, was sufficient to meet day-to-day cash needs and pay dividends. In December 2012, after reviewing cash and other reserves, the economic climate, and possible changes to federal tax rates on dividends, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $.50 per share paid December 28, 2012. Additionally, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.165 per share, usually paid in February, paid December 28, 2012. Total cash dividends of approximately $4,276,000, or $.83 per share, were paid to shareholders during the quarter ended December 30, 2012, and the nine months total was approximately $5,100,000 or $.99 per share. The economic climate is part of the consideration at the Directors’ quarterly reviews of future estimates of cash flows. 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 estimate of future opportunities.

OVERVIEW

The Company is in the entertainment business which, by its nature, has ups and downs based on consumer tastes and whims. Generally, promotional and open play bowling which depends on the public’s discretionary budget dollars and their choices, accounts for more than half of our business. An unstable economy can lead many to participate in entertainment that is close to home and relatively inexpensive. Bowling has those advantages. However the longer the economy remains unstable, the less willing people are to spend on other than necessities. Weather is also a factor, especially for casual bowlers. While rainy weather prompts people to look for indoor activities, heavy snow storms can keep customers from reaching the centers. Postponed league games are made up later in the season, but lost open play income is never recovered. Current economic conditions continue to create challenging times but our response will be helped by having the resources to be able to promote the sport.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth the items in our consolidated summary of operations for the fiscal year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2013, and April 1, 2012, and the dollar and percentage changes therein.

	Thirty-nine weeks ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012

Income taxes		831		752		79			10.5

Net Earnings	$	1,543	$	1,395	$	148			10.6

Net earnings were $1,328,264 or $.26 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and $1,290,157 or $.25 per share for the quarter ended April 1, 2012. Thirty-nine weeks year-to-date net earnings were $1,542,945 or $.30 per share and $1,395,251 or $.27 per share for the current and prior year periods, respectively.

The current year quarter included both the New Year’s holiday and Spring Break week in the Metropolitan Washington, DC area. Spring Break week occurred in the fourth quarter last year. Management believes that the federal government’s sequestration policies are a source of unease with our customers and potential customers, especially in the Northern market area. Although the economic conditions appear to be more positive, management believes people remain hesitant to spend discretionary dollars. The operating results for fiscal 2013 periods included in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

Operating Revenues

Total operating revenues in the most recent quarter decreased $5,000 to $7,734,000 compared to a decrease of $536,000 to $7,739,000 in the three-month period ended April 1, 2012. For the current fiscal nine-month period operating revenues were down $539,000 to $19,126,000 versus a decrease of $740,000 to $19,665,000 in the comparable nine-month period a year ago. Management believes that the current year declines are partially attributable to customers concerns about discretionary spending as stated above.

Food, beverage and merchandise sales were down approximately $81,000 and $256,000 or 4% in both the current year quarter and nine-month periods, respectively. The comparable prior year periods showed decreases of $111,000 and $155,000 or 5% and 3%, respectively. Cost of sales were flat in the current year quarter and decreased 3% in the current year to date period.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were down $92,000 and $809,000 or 2% and 5% in the current three and nine-month periods, respectively. Expenses in the same category last year were down $504,000 for the three-month period and down $811,000 for the nine-month period. Employee compensation and benefits were down approximately $116,000 in the current year three-month period and $348,000 in the nine-month period or 4% in each period, partially a result of lower costs due to changes in group health insurance and in scheduling adjustments. In the prior year comparable periods the category was down 2% and 3% in each period or $83,000 and $194,000, respectively. Included in this category of expense are contributions to our two benefit plans, both of which are defined contribution plans. There is no additional obligation beyond the current year contribution.

Cost of bowling and other services increased $41,000 or 3% in the quarter and decreased $308,000 or 6% in the nine-month periods, respectively. In the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2013, maintenance and repair costs were down $27,000 or 14% compared to the prior year similar period. For the nine-month period maintenance costs were down $79,000 or 13%. Advertising costs for the nine-month current year period decreased $114,000 or 24% versus a decrease of $227,000 or 32% in the prior year comparable period. In the nine month periods ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, respectively, utility costs were down 6% and 1%. In the current year period, lower electric rates in our northern market and continued energy management helped offset higher natural gas billings. Supplies and services expenses were up 5% and down 3% in the current and prior three-month periods, respectively, in part due to purchase patterns in both years.

Insurance expense excluding health insurance declined 1% in the current year-to-date period as markets harden. In the prior year comparable period insurance expense declined 13%.

Depreciation and amortization expense was down 5% in the current year nine-month period and 8% in the prior year comparable period.

As a result of the above, the current thirty-nine week period of fiscal 2013 showed operating income of $2,026,000, an increase of approximately $270,000 from the prior year comparable period operating income of $1,756,000.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income decreased approximately $43,000 in the fiscal 2013 year-to-date period versus a decrease of $56,000 in the fiscal 2012 year-to-date period. The decrease in the current year period is due to lower balances, lower interest rates and lower capital gains received from the Ginnie Mae fund.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management has identified accounting for marketable investment securities as a critical accounting policy due to the significance of the amounts included in the Company’s balance sheet under the captions of Short-term investments and Marketable 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 earnings, 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.

Management has identified accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets as a critical accounting policy due to the significance of the amounts included in the Company’s 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 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 March 31, 2013. 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 March 31, 2013, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
