BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
March 31, 1996
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-term investments consisting mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills
and Notes, and cash totaled $11,683,000 at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 or $2,428,000 higher than at the beginning
of the quarter. The increase relates primarily to the seasonal
nature of bowling participation.
On September 1, 1994, the Comapny opened Bowl America Gaithersburg,
a 48-lane center with a 170-seat full service, diner style
restaurant. A center was closed in May 1995 at the expiration of
its lease. In July 1993, the Company paid $1.8 million in cash for
an existing 32-lane center in Orange Park, Florida.
Expansion of our Dranesville bowling center from 32 lanes to 48 lanes
is in process, but there will be no contribution to cash flow until
next fiscal year. Additional expenditures are also planned as the
Company continues to modernize other existing centers. Cash and cash
flow from operations are sufficient to finance all currently planned
construction. The Company has maintained its fiscal year end 1995
position in telecommunications stock as a further source of
expansion capital.
Results of Operations
There was a $.24 per share profit for the thirteen-week period ending
March 31, 1996, versus $.30 per share profit for the thirteen weeks
ending April 2, 1995. For the current thirty-nine week period
earnings per share were $.38 compared to $.47 for the comparable
period a year ago. Decreases in both revenues and expenses are
partially due to our operating one less center for the majority of
the current nine-month reporting period compared to the prior year
period.
Operating revenues decreased 8% for the current nine-month period
versus an increase of 8% in the comparable period a year ago.
Weather adversely affected the third quarter periods in both the
current and prior years. In the current year the Blizzard of '96
and the extreme cold took a heavy toll on our northern market,
20 of our 25 locations, especially in open play linage. League
games which were lost due to the weather will be made up by the
end of the fiscal year. The average game rate for the nine-month
period is down from the prior period due to promotional pricing.
Food and beverage sales were down in the current period. Much of
the decrease is a result of the poor weather in the third quarter.
<PAGE>
Operating expenses decreased 5% in the current nine-month period
versus an increase of 14% in the prior year comparable period when
start-up costs for Gaithersburg were reported. Employee
compensation and benefits were down 5% this period versus a
15% increase in the prior year period, the changes in both years
resulting mainly from differences in the number of centers in
operation.
Maintenance expense for the nine-month period was down 3% from
the prior year period where the 15% increase related to the opening
of new locations. For the three-month period ending March 31, 1996
snow plowing costs caused the maintenance expense to exceed the
prior year quarter by 15%.
Advertising costs decreased 15% in the current nine-month period,
although we are still conducting media campaigns to promote our
centers. Utility costs decreased 2% in the current year period
compared with a 6% increase in the prior year period.
Rent expense decreased 11% in the current thirty-nine week period
and 3% in the prior year period, the decrease a result of reduced
sales at some leased locations and the closing of a leased center,
mentioned above. Real estate and personal property taxes and
insurance premiums were down 4% for the period compared to an
increase in the prior year relating to the opening of a new
location.
Increases in depreciation and amortization expense of 3% in the
current period relate primarily to the Gaithersburg location
being open for the full nine-month period this year.
The 15% increase in the comparable period last year was due mainly
to the opening of a bowling centers.
