                  BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

                               PRESIDENT'S LETTER

September 18, 2000

Dear Fellow Employees and Owners:

Recently a customer approached me while I was having lunch at Bowl America
Shirley.  He asked if I thought the bowling industry would survive.  His
question was based in part on the July 10 Washington Post article, "After
Gutter Balls, AMF Looks for a Strike," written by Jerry Knight.  It related
the financial problems of AMF to some of the social changes noted by Robert
Putnam and first discussed here in 1995.  Dr.Putnam has put his findings in
a new book called BOWLING ALONE.  Furthurmore, stories about the AMF debt
repayment difficulties have appeared in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL and THE NEW
YORK TIMES.

I thought it was important to make the distinction between the approaches
to financing taken by AMF and Bowl America.  I therefore responded to the
Post article with the following letter (which they did not print).

                                 * * *

Mr. Jerry Knight                                                July 12, 2000
THE WASHINGTON POST

Dear Jerry:

        I hoped as I read your article that you would emphasize that the AMF
problem was a financial problem and not a bowling problem by citing Bowl
America's success in adjusting to "Bowling Alone" (both the book and the
phenomenon).  We first discussed Dr. Putnam's findings in our 1995 Annual
Report and expressed our confidence in being able to deal with it.  After all,
the four families that went into the bowling business together in 1938 are
still associated in Bowl America today.  We have been through gas rationing,
the advent of television, color television, VCRs, cable television and the
increase in the number of women in the workplace.  All of these items
changed how people participate in recreation and entertainment activities and,
in fact, contributed to what Dr.Putnam defines as a "loss of social capital."

        I am enclosing the press release from our nine-month earnings report,
which shows that we have completed our eleventh consecutive year-to-year
quarterly profit improvement.  (You may not have come across it, because the
Post did not print this report or the ten quarterly improvements that preceded
it.)

        We are, of course, in the entertainment business and, like other
entertainment activities, subject to continuing swings in public tastes.  We
think that among the reasons we have been able to deal with the events noted
above are:

1.  OUR STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION.  Bowl America has no debt.  In addition, we
    have substantial reserves to adapt to changes in public taste, both now
    and in the future.  Casino operators (among other masters of statistics)
    are quick to tell you that you have to have the cash to outlast a bad run
    so that you can capitalize on the good run that inevitably follows.

2.  WE HAVE BEEN AT IT A LONG TIME.  As a result, from Board level to the
    bowling center level, we are experienced in dealing with swings in
    public taste.

       Bowl America could have been damaged the most by the decline in
league bowling.  Over time, more that any other bowling chain, we have
emphasized service to the league bowlers.  But even as our league participation
declined, our well-run bowling centers have been able to adapt.  Your weekly
summary of local stocks shows our profit has improved by 26% in the trailing
twelve months, and this morning's Post had a small "u" next to our stock price.
This is not a flash in the pan.  Bowl America has increased its dividend for
28 consecutive years and twice in the last twelve months.

       And there is a sometimes ignored comment by Dr. Putnam that suggests
the future may be even better.  He has observed that those who reverse the
process of retreating from communal activities have a lower mortality rate.
I can see the headlines now:

                        BOWL TOGETHER:  LIVE LONGER
              Join a Bowl America League Before It's Too Late.

                      Now, wouldn't that be a 300 game?

Sincerely
Leslie H. Goldberg
President

                                    * * *

Since my reply things have gotten even better for us.  Trailing twelve month
per share earnings are now up 36% and we now have our TWELFTH consecutive
quarterly year-to-year profit improvement.   Our stock price is even higher.

But I still remember that after the 1972 market "correction" it took us 17
years of annual earnings increases before our stock price returned to its
1972 level (Coca-Cola followed the same pattern for most of those years, so
it was not a small company problem).  Despite that great earnings growth, our
P/E during those years dropped to 4.  Of course, the market recovery was
delayed by the surge in inflation brought on by skyrocketing oil prices
(which of course can never happen again).

I am no better than anyone else at predicting the future.  Timing the market
is beyond me.  But a dividend that increases faster than prices provides
real income in any market and downside protection in a poor market.  It gives
us a chance to share our success four times a year, something I hope we can
do for many years in the future.

Leslie H.Goldberg, President

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal 2000 was $6,637,000 which
was sufficient to meet day-to-day cash needs.  Short-term investments consist-
ing mainly of U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes, and cash totaled $10,397,000 at
the end of fiscal 2000 compared to $9,248,000 at the end of fiscal 1999.

The Company purchased 381,991 shares of its previously outstanding common stock
in fiscal year 2000 for a cost of $2,759,000.  An additional 130,287 shares have
been purchased for approximately $1,042,000 since year end.

Approximately $528,000 was expended to acquire property and equipment during
fiscal 2000.  The purchases included amusement game machines and Year 2000
upgrades for autoscoring systems.  Currently the Company has a signed
contract with contingencies for approval of plans and permits on one site.
The Company is actively seeking land for additional locations.  Since year
end, the Company purchased Bowl America Glen Burnie for $2,250,000 at the
expiration of its lease.  Cash and cash flows are sufficient to finance all
planned purchases, modernization and construction.  The Company's position
in telecommunication stocks is an additional source of expansion capital.

These marketable securities are carried at their fair value on the last day
of the quarter.  The value of these securities on July 2, 2000 was $9.2 million
or $339,000 lower than at June 27, 1999.  After year end, the Company received
$219,000 from the merger of AT&T and Media one, two of the stocks in the
portfolio.

Dividends per share increased for the twenty-eighth consecutive year.  Cash
dividends paid to shareholders during fiscal 2000 were $2.2 million.  A 5%
stock dividend was paid to all shareholders on July 26, 2000.  Earnings per
share figures in this report have been adjusted to reflect this dividend.
While no factors requiring a change in the dividend rate are apparent, 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 its estimate
of future opportunities.


RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS

Fiscal 2000 was a 53-week year while fiscal 1999 and 1998 were 52-week years;
the additional week influenced all revenues and most expenses.  The Company
operated one fewer center in fiscal 2000 as a location operating with a
negative cash flow was closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.  Prior
year comparisons reflect the same number of centers in operation for the
peak bowling periods.

Operating revenues grew 5% in fiscal 2000 and 2% in fiscal 1999.  Bowling
and other revenue gained like percentages for both periods.  Increases in
the average game rate and ancillary revenues were primarily responsible.
Open play linage including Cosmic bowling was up for the year resulting
in an increase in total games bowled at comparable centers.

Total food, beverage and merchandise sales and cost of sales rose 4% in the
current year.  In fiscal 1999 sales were up 1% and costs were down less than
1%.

Total operating expense increased less than 1% in both the current and prior
year periods.  Costs for employee compensation and benefits increased 3% in
the current period partially due to overtime pay during this period of low
unemployment.  The prior year increase in this category was 2%.

Maintenance costs fell 13% in the current fiscal year after rising 12% last
year when we resurfaced the majority of our wooden bowling lanes.

Glow-in-the-dark bowling advertising campaigns run during fiscal 2000 were
principally responsible for a 17% increase in advertising costs.

Overall equipment expenses, supplies expenses and utility costs declined 3%
in the current year, but natural gas expense jumped over 10%.  In the prior
year the same categories of expenses were also down a total of 3%.

Rent expense decreased 11% in the current year due to the closing of a leased
location.  Insurance costs were down 4% in the current fiscal year after a 6%
increase in the prior year.

Depreciation expenses decreased 7% in fiscal 2000 as several large capital
assets reached full depreciation.  In the last fiscal year depreciation
expense was down 2%.

The Company's effective income tax rates were 35.9% in 2000, 36.3% in 1999 and
35.9% in 1998, the difference from statutory rates being primarily for the
partial exclusion of dividends received on investments and the state tax
exemption for interest on U.S. Government obligations.

                   BOWL AMERICA INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business
    Bowl America Incorporated is engaged in the operation of 22 bowling
centers, with food and beverage service in each center.  Thirteen centers are
located in metropolitan Washington D.C., two centers in metropolitan
Baltimore, Maryland, one center in metropolitan Orlando, Florida, three
centers in metropolitan Richmond, Virginia, and three centers in metropolitan
Jacksonville, Florida.  These 22 centers contain a total of 854 lanes.

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 2000 ended July 2, 2000, fiscal year 1999 ended June 27, 1999, and fiscal
year 1998 ended June 28, 1998.  Fiscal year 2000 consisted of 53 weeks.  Fiscal
years 1999 and 1998 each consisted of 52 weeks.

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

Depreciation and Amortization
    Depreciation and amortization for financial statement purposes are calcu-
lated by use of the straight-line method.  Amortization of leasehold improve-
ments 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     10-30 years
              Leasehold improvements                    10 years
              Amusement games                          3-5 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.

Inventories
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market.

<PAGE>

Income Taxes
    Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes".  Under this method, 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
    The fair value of the noncurrent marketable security portfolio is disclosed
in Note 3.  The cost of all other financial instruments approximates fair value.

Investment Securities
    The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115
entitled "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 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 and 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
adjusted to reflect the 5% stock dividend distributed on July 26, 2000 of
5,321,802,  5,739,078 and 5,942,857, respectively.

Comprehensive Earnings
    In accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income",  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 each of the three years in the period ended July 2, 2000.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
    For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
considers money market funds, certificates of deposits, repurchase agreements
and treasury securities with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

New Accounting Pronouncements
    In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" was issued.  In May 1999, SFAS No. 137, was issued to defer
the implementation of SFAS No. 133 for one year.  SFAS No. 133 establishes
standards for the accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and
hedging activities and requires that all derivative financial instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be
measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the financial
statements.  This statement is to be effective for all annual and interim
periods beginning after June 15, 2000.  SFAS No. 133 will be adopted by the
Company during fiscal 2001, and the Company is currently evaluating the
impact of such adoption.  However, the Company does not presently believe
the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations in fiscal 2001.

3.  INVESTMENTS
    Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposits, U.S. Treasury
securities and a mutual fund which invests in mortgage backed securities
(maturities of generally three months to one year).  Non-current investments
are marketable equity securities which consist of eleven telecommunications
stocks.  The Company has classified all readily marketable debt and equity
securities as available-for-sale.  These available-for-sale securities are
carried at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115.
For the U.S. Treasury securities and the mutual fund, the cost of these
investments approximates fair value.

Lease Commitments
    The Company and its subsidiaries are obligated under long-term real estate
lease agreements for seven bowling centers.  Certain of the Company's real
estate leases provide for additional annual rents based upon total gross
revenues and increases in real estate taxes and insurance.  Generally, the
leases contain renewal options ranging from 5 to 10 years.

noncancelable leases, were as follows:

7.  PROFIT-SHARING AND ESOP PLAN
    The Company has a profit-sharing plan which, generally, covers all individ-
uals 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.  For the years ended
July 2, 2000, June 27, 1999, and June 28, 1998, contributions in the amount of
$170,000, $137,500, and $125,000, respectively, were charged to operations.
    Effective March 31, 1987, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP) 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.  Prior to fiscal year 1995, the
contributions were allocated to participants based on compensation and years
of service.  Since fiscal year 1995 contributions are allocated based on
compensation only in order to comply with Internal Revenue Service code
requirements.  The Company's contributions to the Plan for fiscal years 2000,
1999, and 1998 were $178,080, $137,500, and $125,000, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the 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 July 2, 2000 and June 27, 1999,
and the related consolidated statements of earnings & comprehensive earnings,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended July 2, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Bowl America Incorporated
and subsidiaries as of July 2, 2000 and June 27, 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended July 2, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
