Exhibit 20 Press release issued November 13, 2018

 

For Immediate Release November 13, 2018

 

REVENUES AND EARNINGS UP IN BOWL AMERICA’S FIRST QUARTER

 

Bowl America Incorporated today reported its fiscal 2019 first quarter earnings improved to $.09 per share from $.04 in last year’s first quarter. Without the required FASB change reclassifying the unrealized gain or loss on securities from Stockholders’ Equity to current earnings the profit would have been $.05 per share as a result of higher revenues and the lower federal corporate tax rate.

 

The Company will pay an increased regular quarterly dividend of $.175 per share on November 14, 2018 to stockholders of record as of October 16, 2018.    

 

Bowl America operates 18 bowling centers and its Class A Common Stock trades on the NYSE American 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.
