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
2018
ended
July 1, 2018,
and fiscal year
2017
ended
July 2, 2017.
Fiscal years
2018
and
2017
each 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 27, 2018.
 
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 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 (years)
3
-
10
Building and building improvements (years)
10
-
39
Leasehold improvements (years)
5
-
15
Amusement games (years)

-

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
July 1, 2018,
and
July 2, 2017,
were
$311,090
and
$319,382,
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
2018
and
2017
 
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
July 1, 2018
and
July 2, 2017.
 
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.
 
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
July 1, 2018
and
July 2, 2017
other current liabilities included
$296,774
and
$334,272,
respectively, in prize fund monies.
 
Reclassifications
Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
In
January 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on equity securities that requires entities to recognize changes in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities in income in the current period unless the entity is recording the related investment under the equity method or consolidating the related entity. This amendment is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending
June 2019
with earlier adoption permitted. The Company will implement the new standard in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2019.
The result will be the reclassification of
$2,102,745
(after adoption of ASU
2018
-
02
) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Company is also reclassifying all of its marketable equity securities as current assets on consolidated balance sheet.
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued guidance on leases which requires entities to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases, including operating leases, with terms of more than
12
months. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information. This amendment is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending
June 2020
with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In
February 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 
2018
-
02,
 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic
220
), which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The amount of the reclassification is calculated based on the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts at the date of the enactment of the Tax Act related to items that remained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at that time. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after
December 
15,
2018
and early adoption is permitted. The Company is
not
adopting this optional new standard.
 
In
May 2014,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No.
2014
-
09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU
2014
-
09”
), which creates a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. Under this ASU and subsequently issued amendments, an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. ASU
2014
-
9
may
be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017.
The FASB permits early adoption of the standard, but
not
before the original effective date of
December 15, 2016.
The Company will adopt the standard for its
2019
fiscal year and does
not
believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or disclosures.
