PRESIDENT’S LETTER

 

 

October 16, 2015

 

Dear Fellow Owners:

 

     I am still a person who always pauses when told “there is a light at the end of the tunnel.” It reminds me of the possibility that it could be the headlight on a locomotive bearing down on me.

 

     Bowl America is an outgrowth of the owners of Shirley Bowling Center creating a public company from that business in 1958. The new public company started with 600,000 shares priced at $2.00 per share. The public bought half of the new company for $600,000, while the owners contributed $100,000 to the growing business, in effect valuing Shirley Bowl at $500,000. At one point, as a result of stock dividends and splits the share count rose to slightly over 7 million before repurchases brought it back to the current 5 million shares. If you acquired one of the original shares at $2.00 and still held it today, you would have 11.4 shares and would have received dividends of $164. The market value of those 11- plus shares roughly equals the dividends received, suggesting a balanced return as rewards of our ownership.

 

     Overbuilding in the industry in the early ‘60s required the founders to guarantee additional borrowing to save the company. From that experience the directors decided that it would be wise to own property rather than lease locations so that if business turned down again it would not be faced with closing good locations or paying inflated rents. It would also enable us, in time, to finance growing dividends and create a company funded employee stock ownership plan.

 

     Today we own 16 of our 18 bowling centers. Over the years we sold two properties housing non-performing bowling centers with a total book value of $1 million, for slightly over $5 million. This emphasis on ownership is also consistent with our view that the interests of all of our constituencies – employees, customers and owners - are best served by a long-term outlook. Our employees get to build ownership in the company along with job security. More and more of our customers get to be on a first-name basis with the people who serve them. Furthermore, stockholders get to benefit from their holdings without being involved in frequent management of those holdings.

 

     Is the bright light in the tunnel a sign of better times or a warning to get out of the way?

 

     This year represents the 52nd consecutive year in which we have shown a profit. Consumer spending on recreation in general seems to be replacing spending on high-priced gasoline among our customers. We have momentum. We followed our improved fiscal 2015 year by sharply reducing our summer losses.

 

     I believe that light indicates brighter days ahead.

 

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Leslie H. Goldberg, President

 

 
 

 

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report of Form 10-K 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.

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.

 

OVERVIEW

 

    The Company is in the entertainment business which, by its nature, has ups and downs based on consumer tastes and preferences. 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. Current economic and political conditions continue to create challenges, but our response is helped by having the resources to be able to promote the sport. Weather is also a factor, especially for casual bowlers. While extreme heat or rainy weather prompt 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.

 

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 during 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”) fund and domestically domiciled stocks with the perceived potential of appreciation, primarily telecommunications stocks. This diversity also provides a measure of safety of principal.

 

    With the exception of 13,120 shares of Verizon, the 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. The Company purchased a total of 10,000 shares of Verizon during previous periods at a cost of approximately $430,000 and 3,120 shares of Verizon were received as a special dividend from Vodafone. 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 $967,000 from mergers and sales, and over $4,151,000 in dividends, the majority of which were tax favored in the form of exclusion from federal taxable income. The exclusion continues into the current year. These marketable securities are carried at their fair value on the last day of each reporting period. The fair value of the securities on June 28, 2015 was approximately $5,200,000. The value of securities held at June 29, 2014 was approximately $5,400.000.

 

     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. The fund is carried at fair value on the last day of the reporting period and at June 28, 2015, the value was approximately $3,676,000. In August 2015 approximately $1,000,000 of this fund was redeemed to meet the August 2015 dividend payment.

     Short-term investments consisting mainly of Certificates of Deposits, and cash and cash equivalents totaled $912,000 at the end of fiscal 2015 compared to $2,295,000 at the end of fiscal 2014.

 

    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. The Company has made no application for third party funding as cash and cash flows are currently sufficient to finance all contemplated purchases and to meet short-term purchase commitments and operating lease commitments.    

 

     Cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended June 28, 2015, was $3,053,000. Equipment purchases during fiscal year 2015 used approximately $797,000. Proceeds from Ginnie Mae dividends totaling approximately $112,600 in fiscal year 2015 were used to purchase additional shares in the fund. Short-term cash was used to meet the balance of $3,509,000 required to pay regular dividends during the fiscal year.

 

    The Company paid cash dividends totaling approximately $3.5 million, or $.68 per share, to shareholders during the 2015 fiscal year, making this the forty-third consecutive year of increased regular dividends per share. In June 2015, the Company declared a quarterly $.17 per share dividend, paid in August 2015. 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 opportunities at such time.

Net Earnings

  $ 1,640     $ 1,370     $ 270       19.7  

 

     Net Earnings were $203,752 or $.04 per share for the thirteen week period and $1,640,229 or $.32 per share for the fifty-two week period ended June 28, 2015. Including discontinued operations, for the thirteen week and fifty-two week periods ended June 29, 2014 net earnings were $27,875 or $.01 per share and $1,370,394 or $.27 per share, respectively. Fiscal 2015 and 2014 each consisted of 52 weeks and eighteen centers were in operation throughout both years.     

 

Operating Revenues

 

      Total operating revenue increased 1.5%, or $345,000, to $23.1 million in fiscal 2015 compared to a decrease of 4.8%, or $1,077,000, to $22.8 million in fiscal 2014. Bowling and other revenue increased $214,000 in fiscal 2015 versus a decrease of $820,000 in fiscal 2014. Food, beverage and merchandise sales increased $130,000 in fiscal 2015 and decreased $257,000 in fiscal 2014.

 

     Management believes that open play revenue was lost in both years as a result of snow storms in the normally busiest months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014. Promotional pricing throughout both fiscal years also depressed bowling revenue. Management also believes that the capricious nature of the economic recovery and federal tax and spending provisions continue to adversely influence customers’ decisions for recreational spending for both league and open play games. The Company continues to review and adjust its budget in light of current economic conditions.

 

Operating Expenses

 

    As discussed in more detail below, total operating expenses decreased 1.7%, or $367,000, in fiscal year 2015 versus a decrease of 2.3%, or $514,000 in fiscal 2014. Costs for employee compensation and benefits were down 1% or $110,000 in fiscal 2015 versus a decrease of 4.4% or $507,000 in fiscal 2014. The Company continued to make scheduling adjustments resulting in a decrease in compensation. In addition, group health insurance costs declined primarily due to plan offerings and lower premiums. This category includes contributions to our two benefit plans, both of which are defined contribution plans. The contributions can only be made from profits and there is no additional obligation beyond the current year contribution.

     Cost of bowling and other services decreased $159,000 or 2.6% in the year ended June 28, 2015 versus an increase of $14,000 or 0.2% in the prior fiscal year. Maintenance expense decreased $59,000 or 6.2% in fiscal 2015 and rose 26.2% or $198,000 in fiscal year 2014. Snow removal costs in both fiscal years were high due to winter storms. Utility costs were flat in the current fiscal year as declines in telephone expense offset increases in electric and gas expense and increased 2.9% in fiscal 2014. Supplies expense increased 1% in fiscal 2015 and declined 5.9% in fiscal 2014. Advertising costs decreased 24.8% in fiscal 2015 and 2.4% in the prior year period. Both years included updating interiors at several locations.

 

    Cost of food, beverage and merchandise sales increased $24,000 or 1.2% in fiscal 2015, primarily the result of higher food and beverage sales, and increased $41,000 or 2% in fiscal 2014, primarily due to higher merchandise sales.

 

    Depreciation expenses decreased approximately $69,000 or 5.2% in fiscal 2015 versus a decrease of approximately $99,000 or 7% in the prior year after several large assets became fully depreciated.

 

    Operating income from continuing operations increased 57.9% or $699,000 to $1.9 million in fiscal year 2015 from $1.2 million in fiscal 2014.

 

    Interest and Dividend Income

 

    Interest and dividend income decreased $168,000 or 25.4% in fiscal 2015. In the prior year the same category increased $228,000 or 52.4% primarily due to the special Vodafone dividend mentioned above and increased holdings in Verizon.

 

Income taxes

 

    Effective income tax rates on continuing operations for the Company were 31.7% for fiscal 2015 and 26.5% for fiscal 2014, the difference from statutory rates is primarily due to the partial exclusion of dividends received on investments which, in fiscal 2014 was a higher portion of income than in the prior year.

 

Net Earnings

 

    Net earnings from continuing operations in fiscal 2015 were $1.6 million, or $.32 per share, compared to $1.4 million, or $.27 per share in fiscal 2014.

 

Loss from discontinued operations – net of tax

 

     Fiscal 2014 included a net of tax loss of $2,774 from the discontinued Winter Park, Florida location.

 

 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

    We have identified accounting for marketable investment securities as a critical accounting policy due to the significance of the amounts included in our balance sheet. 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 based on quoted market prices with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, 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. 

 

    We have identified accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets as a critical accounting policy due to the significance of the amounts included in our 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 undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount. There were no impairment losses recorded in fiscal 2015 or 2014.

BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

    Bowl America Incorporated is engaged in the operation of 18 bowling centers, with food and beverage service in each center. Ten centers are located in metropolitan Washington D.C., one center in metropolitan Baltimore, Maryland, four centers in metropolitan Richmond, Virginia, and three centers in metropolitan Jacksonville, Florida. These 18 centers contain a total of 726 lanes. The Company operates in one segment.

 

Principles of Consolidation

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations. All significant inter-company items have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Fiscal Year

    The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to June 30. Fiscal year 2015 ended June 28, 2015, and fiscal year 2014 ended June 29, 2014. Both years consisted of 52 weeks.

 

Subsequent Events

    The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing these financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2015. In August 2015 approximately $1,000,000 of the federal agency mortgage backed securities (Vanguard GNMA fund) was redeemed to meet the August 2015 dividend payment.

 

Estimates

    The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

    Significant estimates include the deferred compensation liability for executives and key employees including survivor benefits, depreciation expense, cash surrender value of officers' life insurance, the Federal and State income taxes (current and deferred), and market assumptions used in estimating the fair value of certain assets such as marketable securities and long-lived assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

    The Company records revenue for fees charged for use of bowling lanes and other facilities at the time the services are provided. Food, beverage and merchandise sales are recorded as revenue at the time the product is given to the customer.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

    Depreciation and amortization for financial statement purposes are calculated by use of the straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated over the estimated useful life of the asset or term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The categories of property, plant, and equipment and the ranges of estimated useful lives on which depreciation and amortization rates are based are as follows:

 

Bowling lanes and equipment

3-10 years

Building and building improvements

10-39 years

Leasehold improvements

5-15 years

Amusement games

3-5 years

            

 
-12-

 

 

    Maintenance and repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The accounts are adjusted for the sale or other disposition of property, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

    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 undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount.

 

Dividends

    It is the Company's policy to accrue a dividend liability at the time the dividends are declared.

 

Advertising Expense

    It is the Company's policy to expense advertising expenditures as they are incurred. The Company's advertising expenses for the years ending June 28, 2015, and June 29, 2014, were $325,914 and $433,525, respectively.

 

Inventories

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories consist of resale merchandise including food and beverage and bowling supplies.

 

Income Taxes

    Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using tax rates currently in effect. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Investment Securities

    All of the Company's readily marketable debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred taxes, within a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Realized gains or losses on the sale of debt and equity securities are reported in earnings and determined using the adjusted cost of the specific security sold.

 

Earnings Per Share

    Earnings per share basic and diluted, have been calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding of 5,160,971, for both fiscal years 2015 and 2014.

 

Comprehensive Earnings

    A consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings reflecting the aggregation of net earnings and unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities, the Company's principal components of other comprehensive earnings, has been presented for the years ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

    For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers money market funds and certificates of deposits, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash accounts which may exceed federally insured limits during the year, but does not believe that this results in any significant credit risk.

 

 
-13-

 

 

Other Current Liabilities

    Other current liabilities include prize fund monies held by the Company for bowling leagues. The funds are returned to the leagues at the end of the league bowling season. At June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 other current liabilities included $278,560 and $291,688, respectively, in prize fund monies.

 

Reclassifications

    Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Recent accounting guidance not yet adopted  

    In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition. Under the new standard, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

    In July 2015 the FASB issued a new standard that simplifies measurement of inventory as either the lower of cost or market with market being net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable completion, disposal and transportation costs.  This does not change LIFO and retail inventory method measurements.  The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following:

 

   

June 28, 2015 

   

June 29, 2014

 
                 

Demand deposits and cash on hand 

  $ 558,364     $ 634,923  

Money market funds

    220,003       207,191  
    $ 778,367     $ 842,114  

                      

     The account balances at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company does not believe this poses any significant risk.

 

3.  INVESTMENTS

     The Company’s marketable securities are categorized as available-for-sale securities. The cost for marketable securities was determined using the specific identification method. The fair values of marketable securities are based on the quoted market price for those securities. Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposits with maturities of generally three months to one year. At June 28, 2015, the fair value of short-term investments was $133,729. At June 29, 2014, the fair value of short-term investments was $1,453,326. Non-current investments are marketable securities which primarily consist of telecommunications stocks and a mutual fund that invests in mortgage backed securities. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings in Stockholders’ Equity.

 

 
-14-

 

 

     As of June 28, 2015, the Company had $58,014 of gross unrealized gains from its investments in federal agency mortgage backed securities owned through a mutual fund which had a fair value of $3,676,005. As of June 29, 2014, $100,125 in gross unrealized gains were from its investments in federal agency mortgage backed securities which had a fair value of $3,605,513.

        During the year ended June 29, 2014, the Company purchased 5,000 shares of Verizon. In addition the Company received 3,120 shares of Verizon as a result of Vodafone’s special dividend funded by its sale of Verizon Wireless.

        As stated in Note 1, the Company records its readily marketable debt and equity securities at fair value. These assets are valued in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

 

Level 1.

Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  

 

Level 2.

Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

 

Level 3.

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

        A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The fair value of these assets as of June 28, 2015 is as follows:

6. PROFIT-SHARING AND ESOP PLAN

    The Company has two defined contribution plans. The first is a profit-sharing plan which, generally, covers all employees who on the last day of the fiscal year or December 29 have been employed for one year with at least one thousand hours of service. The Plan provides for Company contributions as determined by the Board of Directors. For the years ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, contributions in the amounts of $57,500 and $48,000, respectively, were charged to operating expense.

 

    Effective March 31, 1987, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which generally covers all individuals who were employed at the end of the fiscal year and had one thousand or more hours of service during that fiscal year. The Plan provides for Company contributions as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $57,500 for fiscal year 2014 and $48,000 for fiscal year 2014. The Company has no defined benefit plan or other post retirement plan.

 

7. INCOME TAXES

     The Company is required to analyze all material positions it has taken or plans to take in all tax returns that have been filed or should have been filed with all taxing authorities for all years still subject to challenge by those taxing authorities. If the position taken is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority on its technical merits and if there is more than a 50% likelihood that the position would be sustained if challenged and considered by the highest court in the relevant jurisdiction, the tax consequences of that position should be reflected in the taxpayer’s financial statements.

 

 
-18-

 

 

    The Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits at June 28, 2015 nor does it expect any significant change in that status during the next twelve months. No accrued interest or penalties on uncertain tax positions have been included on the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings or the consolidated balance sheet. Should the Company adopt tax positions for which it would be appropriate to accrue interest and penalties, such costs would be reflected in the tax expense for the period in which such costs accrued. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax and to several state jurisdictions. Returns filed for tax periods ending after July 3, 2011 are still open to examination by those relevant taxing authorities.

At June 28, 2015, and June 29, 2014, the Company had $34,799 and $39,093 in employee loans related to the issuance of shares, respectively. These loans are secured by the shares of the Company's common stock acquired and are full recourse notes. The notes bear interest at rates of 2% to 2.5% and are payable over a term of three years from the date of the agreements which range from 2014 to 2015. These employee loans have been recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

 

9. DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Bowl America Incorporated

Alexandria, Virginia

 

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Bowl America Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of June 28, 2015, and the related Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the year then ended. Bowl America Incorporated and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bowl America Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of June 28, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
