PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

The Company operates travel centers dedicated to serving the traveling public in rural and smaller metropolitan areas of the Southwestern United States. The Company’s tradition of serving the public dates back to 1912, when the founder, Claude M. Bowlin, started trading goods and services with Native Americans in New Mexico. Bowlin Travel Centers currently operates ten full-service travel centers along interstate highways in Arizona and New Mexico. Two of the Company’s travel centers are held for sale; one of which closed on October 31, 2007. The Company advertises its travel centers through a network of approximately 300 outdoor advertising display faces. The Company’s travel centers offer brand name food, gasoline and a variety of unique Southwestern merchandise to the traveling public.

The Company was formed on August 8, 2000, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bowlin Outdoor Advertising and Travel Centers Incorporated (“Bowlin Outdoor”). Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2000, Bowlin Outdoor contributed substantially all of the assets and liabilities directly related to its travel centers business to Bowlin Travel Centers.

Prior to August 8, 2000, the Company’s travel centers were owned and operated as a business segment of Bowlin Outdoor. Bowlin Outdoor operated two business segments: travel centers and outdoor advertising. Bowlin Outdoor’s common stock was traded on the American Stock Exchange and was a public reporting company. On January 30, 2001, the Company became an independent company through a spin-off transaction whereby shares of the Company’s common stock were distributed to the shareholders of Bowlin Outdoor.

Industry Overview

The travel services industry in which the Company competes includes convenience stores that may or may not offer gasoline, and fast food and full-service restaurants located along rural interstate highways. The Company believes that the current trend in the travel services industry is toward strategic pairings at a single location of complementary products that are noncompetitive, such as brand name gasoline and brand name fast food restaurants. This concept, known as “co-branding,” has recently seen greater acceptance by both traditional operators and larger petroleum companies. The travel services industry has also been characterized in recent periods by consolidation or closure of smaller operators. The convenience store industry includes both traditional operators that focus primarily on the sale of food and beverages but also offer gasoline, and large petroleum companies that offer food and beverages primarily to attract gasoline customers.

The restaurant segment of the travel services industry is highly competitive, most notably in the areas of consistency of quality, variety, price, location, speed of service and effectiveness of marketing. Major chains are aggressively increasing market penetration by opening new restaurants, including restaurants at “special sites” such as retail centers, travel centers and gasoline outlets. Smaller quick-service restaurant chains and franchise operations are focusing on brand and image enhancement and co-branding strategies.

Business Strategy

The Company’s business strategy is to capture a greater market share of the interstate traveler market in Arizona and New Mexico by offering at each of the Company’s locations a combination of name brand recognized food service operations and gasoline, and unique Southwestern souvenirs and gifts, all at competitive prices delivered with a high standard of service.

The Company’s travel centers are strategically located along well-traveled interstate highways in Arizona and New Mexico where there are generally few gas stations, convenience stores or restaurants. The Company operates five full-service restaurants under the Dairy Queen/Brazier or Dairy Queen trade names . All of the Company’s ten travel centers sell convenience store food such as chips, nuts, cookies and prepackaged sandwiches along with a variety of bottled and canned drinks .

The Company’s travel centers offer brand name gasoline such as ExxonMobil, Mobil and Shell. The Company is an authorized distributor of ExxonMobil petroleum products. Five of the Company’s New Mexico locations are ExxonMobil stations. Two of the Company’s Arizona locations are Shell stations and one of the Company’s Arizona locations is a Mobil station. All of the Arizona locations are currently operated under a retail supply agreement with Arizona Fuel Distributors L.L.C. Two of the Company’s New Mexico locations do not currently offer gasoline.

The Company’s billboard advertising for its travel centers emphasizes the wide range of unique Southwestern souvenirs and gifts available at the travel centers, as well as the availability of gasoline and food. Merchandise at each of the Company’s stores is offered at prices intended to suit the budgets and tastes of a diverse traveling population. The merchandise ranges from inexpensive Southwestern gifts and souvenirs to unique handcrafted jewelry, rugs, pottery, and other gifts.

Growth Strategy

Travel Centers

The Company is committed to developing its travel center operations by evaluating the performance of each location. Locations that consistently under perform are identified and strategies are prepared to appropriately deal with poor performing travel centers. In addition, the Company intends to explore the possibilities of acquiring or building additional travel centers.

The Company believes that the co-branding concept implemented at its travel centers has resulted in increased revenues, and intends to pursue opportunities to acquire rights to additional brand name products, primarily brand name food.

The Company intends to continue to offer high quality brand name food and products in a clean, safe environment designed to appeal to travelers on interstate highways.

The Company intends to continue to increase sales at existing locations through ongoing renovation and upgrading of facilities, and intends to increase gasoline sales by focusing on the marketing of ExxonMobil, Mobil and Shell gasoline brands through its travel center outlets.

Gasoline Wholesaling

The Company has been wholesaling gasoline since 1997. Since 1997, revenues from wholesaling gasoline have accounted for an average of approximately 9.0% of gross revenues. In addition to purchasing gasoline for retail sales through its travel centers, during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, the Company had three independent ExxonMobil wholesale customers. The Company anticipates expanding its current level of gasoline wholesaling and is marketing its wholesaling business. See “Business Operations – Gasoline Wholesaling”.

Business Operations

The Company sells food, gasoline and merchandise through its ten travel centers located along two interstate highways (I-10 and I-40) in Arizona and New Mexico. These are key highways for travel to numerous tourist and recreational destinations and serve as arteries for regional traffic among major Southwestern cities. All of the Company’s travel centers are open every day of the year except Christmas.

Each of the Company’s travel centers maintains a distinct, theme-oriented atmosphere. In addition to the Southwestern merchandise it purchases from Native American tribes, the Company also imports approximately 650 items from Mexico, including handmade blankets, earthen pottery and wood items. Additional goods, novelties and imprinted merchandise are imported from several Pacific Rim countries. The Company has long-standing relationships with many of its vendors and suppliers. While the Company has no formal agreements with any of its vendors and suppliers of Southwestern merchandise and items from Mexico, the Company believes that there are adequate resources outside of those that are regularly used so that the Company could continue to provide these items even if it were unable to use its regular sources.

The Company sells food at five of its ten travel centers under the Dairy Queen and Dairy Queen/Brazier brand names. All of the Company’s ten travel centers sell convenience store food such as chips, nuts, cookies and prepackaged sandwiches along with a variety of bottled and canned drinks.

The Company’s terms of its agreements with Dairy Queen obligate the Company to pay a franchise royalty and in some instances a promotion fee, each equal to a percentage of net sales revenues from products sold, and to comply with certain provisions governing the operation of the franchised stores. The Company is obligated to pay Dairy Queen franchise fees and advertising fees of 4.0% and 2.25%, respectively, of revenues generated by sales of Dairy Queen products by the Company in New Mexico. The Company is obligated to pay Dairy Queen franchise fees and advertising fees of 4.0% and 2.25%, respectively, of revenues generated by sales of Dairy Queen products by the Company in Arizona, with advertising fees not to exceed $15,000 in the aggregate.

The Company currently operates five Dairy Queens at its travel centers. It has individual franchise agreements for each Dairy Queen operated at the travel centers. None of these agreements are exclusive nor do they prevent the Company from entering into agreements with other food franchisors. Several of the agreements have different termination provisions and are effective for different terms. The terms of each of three of the Company’s agreements with Dairy Queen continue until the Company elects to terminate such agreement with 60 days prior written notice, or until either the Company or Dairy Queen elect to terminate the agreement due to a breach of the agreement which has not been cured within 14 days of notice of such breach. The Company’s two other agreements with Dairy Queen are for specific terms. The first of these Dairy Queen agreements, entered into February 1, 1984, is for a term of 25 years and the Company intends to renew the agreement in the upcoming fiscal year. The second agreement, entered into on November 18, 1986, is for a term of 20 years plus an additional 5 years per an extension agreement dated June 29, 1987. The Company may not terminate either of these agreements unless it gives notice to Dairy Queen of a breach of the agreement and Dairy Queen has not cured such breach within 30 days of such notice. Dairy Queen may terminate either of these agreements if they deliver notice to the Company of a breach of the agreement and the Company does not cure the breach within 14 days of such notice.

The Company continuously monitors and upgrades its travel center facilities to maintain a high level of comfort, quality and appearance. Periodic improvements typically include new awnings and facings, new signage and enhanced lighting, furnishings, buildings and parking lot improvements .

The Company is an authorized ExxonMobil distributor. The Company sells ExxonMobil gasoline at five of its New Mexico travel centers. Two of the Company’s New Mexico locations do not offer gasoline. As of March 20, 2007, one of the Arizona stores was re-branded to Mobil and two of the Arizona stores were re-branded to Shell as a result of the Company entering into a retail supply agreement with Arizona Fuel Distributors, L.L.C. The Company’s CITGO distribution agreement for the three Arizona retail locations ended March 31, 2007, upon termination by CITGO of its petroleum marketing activities in the Company’s distribution area.

The Company entered into a retail supply agreement with Arizona Fuel Distributors, L.L.C. to purchase Mobil and Shell brand fuels for the Company’s three Arizona retail locations. The Company will pay a distributor’s markup price of $0.015 per gallon purchased. The retail supply agreement for Mobil brand fuels is for a period of ten years beginning on March 20, 2007 and shall continue on a month to month basis until terminated by the Company. The Company may terminate the agreement after the term has expiried by giving thirty days advance written notice to Arizona Fuel Distributors, L.L.C. The retail agreement for Shell brand fuels is for a period of ten years beginning on March 20, 2007 and shall continue on a month to month basis until a new agreement is executed or Arizona Fuel Distributors, L.L.C. terminates or does not renew the agreement in accordance wth applicable law. There are no minimum or maximum gallon purchase requirements for the Company.

The fact that the Company is an authorized ExxonMobil distributor, and was an authorized CITGO distributor through March 31, 2007, has significance in the Company’s industry. As a licensed distributor for ExxonMobil during the past fiscal year, the Company purchased gasoline from ExxonMobil as a direct marketer at the lowest wholesale prices offered by ExxonMobil. The ExxonMobil distribution agreement allows the Company to streamline its gasoline supply arrangements and take advantage of volume-driven pricing by consolidating purchases from these suppliers.

The ExxonMobil distribution agreement has a five-year term beginning September 1, 2005, and expiring August 31, 2010. ExxonMobil’s ability to terminate or refuse to renew the agreement is subject to the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, which include bankruptcy or breach of the agreement by the Company, and termination by ExxonMobil of its petroleum marketing activities in the Company’s distribution area. ExxonMobil may terminate or refuse to renew these agreements only if it terminates or refuses to renew the agreement in compliance with the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act.

The Company’s agreement with ExxonMobil does not prohibit it from entering into similar arrangements with other petroleum companies. The terms of the distribution agreement require the Company to purchase certain monthly minimum quantities of gasoline during the term of the agreement, which quantities include gasoline purchased for sale at its travel centers. The maximum monthly volume required to be distributed by ExxonMobil in any given month is the greater of actual volume in the prior month or the actual volume in the same month of the prior year. The Company determines the amount of gasoline it will purchase under the agreement based on what it believes its needs will be for gasoline, including seasonal demands. These determinations are based on historical sales and internal forecasts.

During the term of the prior ExxonMobil distribution agreement, purchases of ExxonMobil met the minimum quantities for contract years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005. During the term of the current ExxonMobil distribution agreement, purchases met the minimum quantities. The Company is on target to meet its required three million gallons for the contract year ending August 31, 2008. The Company is not subject to any penalty if it fails to meet the minimum quantity requirements. Additionally, the minimum quantities can be increased or decreased, as applicable, to accommodate additional travel centers, or losses of travel centers.

In addition to the requirement to purchase minimum amounts under the ExxonMobil distribution agreements, the Company is also required to pay a processing fee of approximately 3% of the value of the sale for purchases of gasoline made by customers using a credit card.

Gasoline Wholesaling

The Company wholesales ExxonMobil gasoline to three independent wholesale locations. All of the contracts with the wholesalers can be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events including bankruptcy or breach of the agreement, termination by ExxonMobil of its petroleum marketing activities in the Company’s distribution area or upon 30 days’ notification to the Company. The terms of the contracts allow the three independent wholesalers to purchase a maximum gallon quantity of 105% of the gallons purchased in the preceding calendar year. There are no minimum gallon quantity requirements for any of the three contracts.

Over the past five years, wholesaling of gasoline has accounted for, on average, approximately 13.5% of overall revenues. The Company anticipates expanding its current level of gasoline wholesaling and is marketing its wholesaling business.

Competition

The Company faces competition at its travel centers from quick-service and full-service restaurants, convenience stores, gift shops and, to some extent, from truck stops located along interstate highways in Arizona and New Mexico. Large petroleum companies operate some of the travel centers that the Company competes with, while many others are small independently owned operations that do not offer brand name food service or gasoline. Giant Industries, Inc., a refiner and marketer of petroleum products, operates two travel centers, one in Arizona and one in New Mexico, which are high volume diesel fueling and large truck repair facilities that also include small shopping malls, full-service restaurants, convenience stores, fast food restaurants and gift shops. The Company’s principal competition from truck stops includes Love’s Country Stores, Inc., Petro Corporation and Flying J. Many convenience stores are operated by large, national chains that are substantially larger, better capitalized and have greater name recognition and access to greater financial and other resources than the Company. Although the Company faces substantial competition, the Company believes that few of its competitors offer the same breadth of products and services dedicated to the traveling public that the Company offers.

Employees

As of January 31, 2008, the Company had approximately 117 full-time and 22 part-time employees; 38 were located in Arizona, 101 were located in New Mexico. None of the Company’s employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and the Company believes that relations with its employees are good.

Regulation

The Company’s operations are subject to regulation for dispensing gasoline, maintaining mobile homes, dispensing food, sales of fireworks, sales of cactus, operating outdoor advertising signs, waste disposal and air quality control. The Company also must maintain registration of company vehicles, general business licenses and corporate licenses.

The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, handling, and disposal of petroleum products. The risk of accidental contamination to the environment or injury cannot be eliminated. In the event of such an accident, the Company could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could exceed available resources. The Company could be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations that may be enacted in the future.

Each food service operation is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities relating to health, safety, cleanliness and food handling. The Company’s food service operations are also subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as working conditions, overtime, tip credits and minimum wages. The Company believes that operations at its travel centers comply in all material respects with applicable licensing and regulatory requirements; however, future changes in existing regulations or the adoption of additional regulations could result in material increases in operating costs.

Travel center operations are also subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the sale of tobacco, and in New Mexico travel centers, the sale of fireworks. Such regulations include certain mandatory licensing procedures and ongoing compliance measures, as well as special sales tax measures. These regulations are subject to change and future modifications may result in decreased revenues or profit margins at the Company’s travel centers as a result of such changes.

Nearly all licenses and registrations are subject to renewal each year. The Company is not aware of any reason it would be unable to renew any of its licenses and registrations. The Company estimates that the total cost spent on an annual basis for all licenses and registrations is less than $15,000.

The Company anticipates that in the next twelve months the regulating agencies will develop regulations for above ground storage of fuel and anticipate that because of its expenditures and compliance, ongoing costs for compliance should be approximately $3,000.

Trademarks

The Company operates its travel centers under a number of its own trademarks such as The Thing, Butterfield Station and Bowlin’s Running Indian, as well as certain trademarks owned by third parties and licensed to the Company, such as the Dairy Queen, Dairy Queen/Brazier, ExxonMobil, Shell and Mobil trademarks. The Company’s right to use the trademarks Dairy Queen, Dairy Queen/Brazier, ExxonMobil, Shell and Mobil are derived from the agreements entered into with these companies, and these rights expire when those agreements expire or are terminated. The Company has a Federal trademark for “BOWLIN” that is effective through 2008. All other rights to trade names that the Company uses in its operations are protected through common law or state rights granted through a registration process. The Company believes that its trademark rights will not materially limit competition with its travel centers. The Company also believes that, other than its Federal trademark for “BOWLIN”, none of the trademarks owned are material to overall business; however, the loss of one or more of our licensed trademarks could have an adverse effect.

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to the rights of holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors at its discretion from funds legally available therefore, and upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to the stockholders. The common stock has no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares.

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

Overview

The following is a discussion of the financial condition of the Company as of January 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of operations of the Company as of and for the three fiscal years ended January 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements of the Company and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. References to specific years refer to the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31 of such year.

The forward-looking statements included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflect management’s best judgement based on factors currently known and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to, those discussed.

The Company ’ s gross retail sales include merchandise, retail gasolin e sales, restaurant sales and wholesale gasoline sales. Each of the Company ’ s travel center locations retail a variety of unique Southwestern souvenirs and gifts. Eight of the ten retail operations retail gasoline. Five of the Company ’ s ten locations h a ve full-service restaurants that operate under the Dairy Queen/Brazier or Dairy Queen brand names. The merchandise, gasoline and restaurant retail sales are all a part of the Company ’ s ongoing retail business and have been aggregated.

The Company wholesales gasoline to three independent third party locations. All of the independent third party wholesale locations sell ExxonMobil gasoline. The wholesale gasoline does not meet the operating segment definition criteria of paragraph 10(b) of FAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” as the Company does not review wholesale gasoline operating results for decision making about resource allocation. Therefore, wholesale gasoline sales have been aggregated with the Company’s business activities.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2008 (Fiscal 2008) Compared to Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2007 (Fiscal 2007)

Gross sales from continuing operations at the Company’s travel centers increased by 2.4% to $28.651 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $27.973 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. Merchandise sales from continuing operations decreased 1.2% to $9.312 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $9.426 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The decrease is due to a decrease in general merchandise sales, handmade jewelry sales and t-shirt sales as well as weather related conditions that slowed overall highway traffic during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 offset by an increase in gold, c-store and moccasin sales. In addition, the increase in gasoline prices continues to have a negative impact on travel and sales. Retail gasoline sales from continuing operations increased 7.7% to $10.881 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $10.101 million for the same period in 2007. The increase is due to market price increases as the average gallon of gasoline retailed for $3.12 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, compared to $2.80 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007, partially offset by a decrease in gallons sold of approximately 122,000 gallons. Restaurant sales from continuing operations decreased 1.0% to $2.374 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $2.397 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The decrease is due to increases in convenience store food sales at Picacho Peak Plaza that negatively affect restaurant sales at the Picacho Peak DQ, partially offset by increases in retail prices during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. In addition, increases in gasoline prices continue to have a negative impact on travel and restaurant sales. Wholesale gasoline sales to independent retailers increased 0.6% to $6.084 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $6.049 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to market price increases offset by a decrease in gallons purchased during fiscal year 2008.

Cost of goods sold from continuing operations increased 4.0% to $19.670 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $18.910 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. Merchandise cost of goods from continuing operations decreased 0.2% to $3.191 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $3.196 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. This decrease is related to the decrease in sales as well as weather related conditions that slowed overall highway traffic during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Retail gasoline cost of goods sold from continuing operations increased 7.8% to $9.724 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $9.018 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase corresponds to market price increases and is partially offset by a decrease in gallons sold. Restaurant cost of goods sold from continuing operations increased 3.3% to $695,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $673,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to increases in fuel delivery surcharges. Wholesale gasoline cost of goods sold increased 0.6% to $6.060 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $6.023 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to market price increases offset by a decrease in gallons purchased during fiscal year 2008. Cost of goods sold from continuing operations as a percentage of gross revenues increased to 68.7% for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, as compared to 67.6% for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to the increase in gasoline cost of goods sold as a result of overall market prices increases partially offset by a decrease in fuel gallons purchased.

Gross profit from continuing operations decreased 3.7% to $8.513 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $8.840 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in merchandise sales and increases in customer discounts. The increase in customer discounts is due to a gold jewelry sale that began before Mother’s Day and continued throughout the year and a 25% off sale on all merchandise in August 2007.

General and administrative expenses for continuing operations consist of salaries, bonuses and commissions for travel center personnel, property costs and repairs and maintenance. General and administrative expenses for continuing operations also include executive and administrative compensation and benefits, accounting, legal and investor relations fees. General and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased 5.4% to $7.490 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $7.109 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to general repair and maintenance that includes snow removal and wind damage as well as an increase in weed and trash clean up at the retail locations, donations, accounting costs related to Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley internal controls over financial reporting compliance, utilities also related to the unusual winter weather, and costs associated with the Company’s inventory bar-coding project. The increase in general and administrative expenses is partially offset by decreases in freight as a result of volume purchasing, overall insurance and personnel related costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations increased 5.7% to $801,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $758,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is associated with certain asset additions for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 offset by some assets becoming fully depreciated or disposed of.

The above factors contributed to an overall decrease in operating income from continuing operations of 77.2% to $222,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, compared to operating income from continuing operations of $972,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007.

Non-operating income (expense) related to continuing operations includes interest income, rental income and interest expense. Interest income increased 101.1% to $189,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $94,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates in the current period and additional certificates of deposit purchased by the Company from the proceeds of the sale of the Rio North facility. Gains from the sale of property and equipment decreased to $26,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 from $113,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The fiscal 2008 gain of $26,000 is due to payments of $42,000 received related to notes receivable that include deferred gains, an earnest deposit of $24,000 that was forfeited due to a purchase agreement closing date expiring, a gain of $5,000 from the sale of property, fixtures and equipment located in Lordsburg, New Mexico to Don Juan Restaurant and a gain on the sale of vehicles of $1,000, partially offset by a write off of $28,000 of impaired assets and a loss on building and equipment of $18,000. The fiscal 2007 gain of $113,000 is due to payments of $37,000 received related to notes receivable that include deferred gains, the gain on the sale of two vehicles and various equipment of $2,000 as well as the sale of fill dirt to a construction company working in southern New Mexico for $24,000 and the sale of an easement for $50,000. Miscellaneous income of $2,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, is due to a movie company using one of the Company’s land locations for filming. There was no miscellaneous income for fiscal year ending January 31, 2007. Rental income was $159,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 compared to $176,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. Interest expense increased 11.3% to $374,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, from $336,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to fees related to the exchange of debt of approximately $62,000 which are partially offset by the Company’s exchange of debt with its primary lender in November 2007 that resulted in a lower interest rate.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes decreased 77.9% to $225,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, compared to income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1.020 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. As a percentage of gross revenues, income from continuing operations before income taxes was 0.8% for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, compared to 3.6% for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007.

Income tax expense from continuing operations decreased 75.1% to $103,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, compared to an income tax expense of $413,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in operating income from continuing operations as well as a decrease in non-operating gains from the sale of property and equipment partially offset by the increase in interest expense. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2008 was 45.7%, compared to 40.5% for fiscal 2007. The effective tax rate increased by 5.2% from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2007 as a result of permanent and timing differences related to federal and state income taxes as a result of deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing current assets and liabilities.

Discontinued operations represents property held for sale and is classified as a component separate from continuing operations in the income statement as defined in FAS Statement No. 144 – Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (as amended). At January 31, 2008, discontinued operations consisted of three of the Company’s retail locations. Two retail locations are for sale and one of the retail locations is no longer in operation. The third retail location sold May 24, 2007. The loss from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 is $357,000 compared to a loss from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007 of $343,000. The income tax benefit for discontinued operations for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 is $143,000 compared to an income tax benefit of $139,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007.

Income in the amount of $549,000, net of income tax expense, from the disposal of one discontinued operation on May 24, 2007, is due to the sale of property, fixtures and equipment located 17 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Rio Puerco exit. The gain on the sale of the property, fixtures and equipment of approximately $967,000 was reduced by the retirement of loan fees of approximately $69,000 that were related to this retail location due to the exchange of debt, and is net of income tax expense of approximately $349,000.

The foregoing factors contributed to net income for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 of $458,000 compared to a net income of $604,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 2008, the Company had working capital of $6.706 million compared to working capital of $5.051 million at January 31, 2007 (“ working capital” is the excess of total current assets over total current liabilities). At January 31, 2008, the Company had a current ratio of 5.4:1 compared to a current ratio of 3.7:1 at January 31, 2007 (“current ratio” is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities). The increase in working capital is due to an increase in marketable securities of $1.847 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $51,000, an increase in the deferred income tax asset of $52,000, an increase in interest receivable of $13,000, an increase in the current portion of notes receivable of $5,000, a decrease in the current portion of long-term debt of $80,000, a decrease in accounts payable of $181,000, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $60,000 and a decrease in deferred revenue of $19,000, partially offset by a decrease in cash of $409,000 and a decrease in inventory of $244,000. The incre ase in marketable securities, which consists of twelve-month certificates of deposit, is due to $347,000 of certificates with maturity dates greater than three months as well as the purchase of $1.500 million in certificates with part of the proceeds from the sale of Rio Puerco on May 24, 2007. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to timing of electronic fund transfers related to the Company ’ s wholesale gasoline sales. The increase in income taxes is primarily due to decreases in federal a nd state income taxes as a result of deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing current assets and liabilities and their respective tax ba s es. The increase in interest receivable is primarily due to additional certificates of deposit. The decrease in the current portion of long-term borrowing is normal scheduled payments that have decreased due to the exchange of real estate debt with the C ompany ’ s primary lender Bank of the West effective November 30, 2007, as well as changes in terms agreements with the Company ’ s primary lender, Bank of the West, effective September 29, 2007. The November 30, 2007 exchange of debt released all of the Com p any ’ s assets and substituted several specific properties as collateral to secure the payment of real estate debt and the interest rate on such debt is currently set at 5.92% for the next five years. The September 29, 2007 change in terms modified the Com p any ’ s interest rates on other debt with Bank of the West from a variable rate of interest subject to annual adjustment to a variable rate of interest subject to adjustment every five years, currently set at 7.26%. The decrease in accounts payable is prim a rily due to timing of electronic fund transfers related to the Company ’ s wholesale gasoline sales. The decrease in accrued liabilities is due to decreases in accrued salaries and wages. The decrease in deferred revenue is a result of outdoor advertising billboard revenue as the Company had several annual contracts that did not begin until August 1, 2007. The decrease in cash balances at the end of January 31, 2008 is a result of a decrease in gross profit due to increases in discounts on sales and cost o f goods sold offset by the income from the disposal of discontinued operations. The decrease in inventory is due to decreases at the Company ’ s central warehouse partially offset by higher gasoline inventory as well as higher costs to purchase fuel.

The C ompany ’ s travel center operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations. The first quarter of the Company ’ s fiscal year is typically the weakest. The second quarter is normally the Company ’ s strongest due to the summer being the Company ’ s peak season. T h e third quarter is not as strong due to the end of summer. The fourth quarter is generally weak but is partially offset by Holiday sales. Therefore, through out the Company ’ s fiscal year, revenues and earnings may experience substantial fluctuations fro m quarter to quarter. These fluctuations could result in periods of increased or decreased cash flow as well as increased or decreased net income.

The net cash provided by operating activities was $245,000 at January 31, 2008, compared to $1.208 million at January 31, 2007. During fiscal 2008, there was a increase in the gain on sale of prope rty and equipment of $879,000, a decrease in net income of $146,000, a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $14,000, a decrease in loan fee amortization of $11,000, an increase in the provision for deferred income taxes of $67,000 offset by the retirement of debt issuance costs of $132,000 and a decrease in net operating assets and liabilities of $24,000. During fiscal 2007, there was a decrease in the gain on the sale of property and equipment of $83,000 and a decrease in the provision for deferred income taxes of $12,000 partially offset by a decrease in net income of $46,000, a decrease in loan fee amortization of $11,000 and a decrease in net operating assets and liabilities of $20,000.

Net cash used in investing activities was $398,000 at January 31, 2008, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $401,000 at January 31, 2007. During fiscal 2008, there was an increase in the proceeds from the sale of assets of $2.390 million, a decrease in notes receivable of $53,000, an increase of payments received from notes receivable of $59,000, an increase in the investment of real estate of $4,000 offset by an increase in purchases of property and equipment of $377,000, the purchase of additional certificates of deposit of $1.500 million, and a decrease in marketable securities of $615,000. During fiscal 2007 there was a decrease in the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $326,000, an increase in purchases of property and equipment of $249,000, a decrease in the investment in real estate of $25,000, and increase in note receivable of $53,000 and a decrease in payments received from notes receivable of $136,000 partially offset by an increase in marketable securities of $189,000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $256,000 at January 31, 2008, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $393,000 at January 31, 2007. Payments on long-term debt were $222,000 compared to payments on long-term debt of $387,000 at January 31, 2007. Payments for debt issuance costs were $34,000 at January 31, 2008 compared to debt issuance costs of $6,000 at January 31, 2007. The increase in debt issuance costs is due to costs associated with the exchange in real estate debt with the Company’s primary lender effective November 30, 2007.

The Company’s business and cash flow from operations rely on revenues generated from the sale of gasoline. During the year ended January 31, 2008, retail gasoline sales from continuing operations accounted for approximately 32.5% of the Company’s net sales. To the extent that the availability of gasoline was restricted for any reason, including due to storms, political issues, pipeline disruptions, war, act or threats of terrorism in the United States or abroad, the Company's gross sales would be affected, thereby reducing the amount of net cash that would be provided by operating activities. It is impossible to foresee or predict the exact economic effect on cash flows that any such restriction would have.

As of January 31, 2008, the Company was indebted to its primary lender, Bank of the West, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $4.705 million. The Company exchanged its real estate debt with its primary lender on November 30, 2007. The interest rate is currently set at 5.92% for the next five years and is subject to adjustment every five years. The debt matures November 2017. The Company’s total monthly payments on outstanding long-term debt are approximately $34,000. In accordance with EIFT Issue No 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification of Exchange of Debt Instruments”, the original debt was considered extinguished because of substantially different terms. Therefore, loan fees of approximately $131,000 associated with the original debt were retired during the second quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

Under the new November 30, 2007 real estate debt with Bank of the West, the Company must maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio, calculated annually from the Company’s audited fiscal year financial statements. For fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, the Company was not aware of any non-compliance with the minimum financial ratio.

As of January 31, 2007, the Company was indebted to various banks in an aggregate principal amount of $4.927 million. The loans and promissory notes matured at dates from September 2008 to February 2015 and accrued interest at fixed interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 7.26% per annum. The Company’s total monthly payments on outstanding long-term debt obligations were approximately $47,000.

Approximately $4.870 million of the $4.927 million outstanding as of January 31, 2007 was borrowed under the Master Loan Agreement with Bank of the West. Under the Master Loan Agreement, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets as security interests against its obligations under the agreement. In addition, the Company was required to maintain minimum financial ratios, calculated quarterly from fiscal quarter reviewed statements with income and expense items annualized. There are other certain restrictions and limitations, including the restrictions on payment of dividends by the Company, limitation on the issuance of additional debt, the redemption of capital stock and the sale or transfer of assets. For fiscal year ending January 31, 2007, the Company was not aware of any non-compliance with the minimum financial ratios.

The Company has forecasted approximately $750,000 for capital commitments for fiscal year 2008 consisting of renovation and upgrading of facilities. The Company expects to use current working capital and cash flows from operations to fund these commitments as well as debt sources for these commitments.

The Company is unaware of any trends or demands, commitments or uncertainties that will result or are reasonably likely to result in liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way over the next twelve months. The Company believes that its working capital and the cash flow generated from current operations will be sufficient to fund operations over the next twelve months without borrowing any additional funds under the credit facility. The Company is not currently a party to any agreements to acquire any additional travel centers. If the Company were to acquire additional travel centers it would likely have to obtain additional financing to do so, either under the current credit facility or through other means. The Company cannot predict with any certainty what the terms of such financing might be.

The Company leases land at several of its retail operating locations. The leasing agreements for the various locations include 5 to 35 year leases with remaining lives on those leases ranging from approximately 4 to 30 years at January 31, 2008. The rent payment for one of the contingent rentals is determined based on a fixed annual payment of $20,000, adjusted annually according to the consumer price index (CPI) plus 2.5% revenues from merchandise and Dairy Queen sales and $0.0025 per gallon of gasoline sold at such location. The rent payment for another of the contingent rentals is determined based on a fixed annual payment of $11,500, adjusted annually by 3%. The rent payment for another of the contingent leases is determined based on 3% of revenues from merchandise sold at such location, plus $0.02 per gallon of gasoline sold at such location. The rent payment for another of the contingent leases is determined based on a fixed annual payment of $23,900 adjusted every five years according to the consumer price index (CPI), plus 2.5% of revenues from merchandise sales and $0.0025 per gallon of gasoline sold at such location. The rent payment for the last of the contingent leases is determined based on a fixed monthly amount of $4,267 plus 10% of revenues from merchandise sales at such location, up to $250,000, plus 5% of revenue from Dairy Queen sales at such location, up to $140,000, plus $0.005 per gallon of gasoline sold at such location with a base of $100.00 per month; the percentages decrease to 5% of revenues from merchandise sales in excess of $250,000, and 3% of revenues from Dairy Queen sales in excess of $140,000, respectively. In most cases, the Company is responsible for certain repairs and maintenance, insurance, property taxes or property tax increases, and utilities.

(1)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Description of Business

Bowlin Travel Centers, Inc. (“BTC” or “the Company”) is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Company’s tradition of serving the public dates back to 1912, when the founder, Claude M. Bowlin, started trading goods and services with Native Americans in New Mexico. The Company’s principal business activities include the operation of ten full-service travel centers and five restaurants strategically located along well-traveled interstate highways in Arizona and New Mexico where there are generally few gas stations, convenience stores or restaurants. The Company’s travel centers offer brand-name food and gasoline, and a unique variety of Southwestern merchandise to the traveling public in the Southwestern United States, primarily New Mexico. The Company operates five full-service restaurants under the Dairy Queen/Brazier or Dairy Queen trade names . All of the Company’s ten travel centers sell convenience store food such as chips, nuts, cookies and prepackaged sandwiches along with a variety of bottled and canned drinks .

The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary BMI, Inc., which is a dormant shell corporation with no assets. BMI, Inc. dissolved in fiscal year ending 2008.

(b)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The Company places its cash balances and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. As of January 31, 2008, the Company was not aware of any cash balances or temporary investments that exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) limits, or that were not invested overnight in obligations of the U.S. Government, however, at times such cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC or SIPC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in relation to uninsured balances.

(c)

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of brokered certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months. All certificates of deposit have maturity dates of one year or less and are $100,000 and insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance.

(d)

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of merchandise and gasoline for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company is subject to the uniform capitalization rules and capitalized $107,096 and $104,967 of direct and indirect costs incurred during pre-sale periods to inventory at January 31, 2008 and January 31, 2007, respectively.

BOWLIN TRAVEL CENTERS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2008

(e)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs, including the replacement of minor items, are expensed as incurred, and major additions to property and equipment are capitalized. Depreciation is provided by the Company using primarily straight-line as well as accelerated methods.

(f)

Intangible Assets

Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the respective borrowings on a straight-line basis. Franchise fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the related franchise agreements or the periods estimated to be benefited, ranging from fifteen to twenty-five years.

(g)

Sales and Cost Recognition

Sales of merchandise are recognized at the time of sale and the associated costs of the merchandise are included in cost of sales.

(h)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(i)

Excise and Gross Receipts Taxes

The Company collects and remits various federal and state excise taxes on petroleum products. Gasoline sales and cost of goods sold included excise taxes of approximately $1,466,256, $1,396,507 and $1,629,913 for fiscal years ended January 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company also collects and remits gross receipts taxes on sales. Gross receipts taxes of approximately $706,651, $746,303 and $760,139 were collected and remitted for fiscal years ended January 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Sales and cost of sales are presented net of gross receipts taxes.

(j)

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell.

BOWLIN TRAVEL CENTERS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2008

(k)

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt approximate fair value.

(l)

Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has identified the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets and the valuation for deferred taxes as its significant estimates. Actual results could differ from all estimates made.

(m)

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share of common stock, both basic and diluted, are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming the shares distributed on January 30, 2001 were outstanding for all periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per share as there were no potential dilutive securities outstanding for all periods presented. There was no issuance or acquisition of the Company’s outstanding common shares for fiscal years ended January 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(n)

Reclassifications

Certain 2007 and 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2008 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income. Property and equipment held for sale is reclassified as a component separate from continuing operations in the income statement in accordance with SFAS No. 144 – Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (as amended), paragraph 43. Management’s intent is to sell two of the Company’s retail locations in the ensuing fiscal year.

Marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months and the sum of these certificates of deposit were reclassified from cash to marketable securities.

(o)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

Management believes that all accounts receivable are fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be required.

In accordance with FAS 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, gains were deferred on loans not meeting the minimum initial 20% investment by the buyer expressed as a percentage of the sales value.

Management believes that all notes receivable are fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be required.

(q)

Deferred Revenue

The current portion of deferred revenue consists of advertising revenue received in advance for billboards that the Company rents. This revenue is recognized in income as services are provided over the term of the contract.

(r)

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $71,488, $38,352 and $32,736 for fiscal years ended January 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(s)

Freight Costs

(t)

Concentration in Suppliers

The Company is an authorized ExxonMobil distributor. The Company sells ExxonMobil gasoline at five travel centers. The ExxonMobil distribution agreement allows the Company to streamline its gasoline supply arrangements and take advantage of volume-driven pricing by consolidating purchases from these suppliers. The Company’s agreement with ExxonMobil does not prohibit it from entering into similar arrangements with other petroleum companies. The terms of the distribution agreement require the Company to purchase certain monthly minimum quantities of gasoline during the term of the agreement, which includes gasoline purchased for sale at its travel centers. The amount of required ExxonMobil gasoline purchases is a minimum of three million gallons per year. For ExxonMobil, the maximum monthly volume for the current month is the greater of actual volume in the prior month or the actual volume in the current month of the prior year. The Company determines the amount of gasoline it will purchase under the agreements based on what it believes its needs will be for gasoline, including seasonal demands. These determinations are based on historical sales and internal forecasts.

Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2008

The Company uses the direct identification method for allocating interest to its discontinued operations.

On November 30, 2007, the Company exchanged its real estate debt with its primary lender Bank of the West. Previously, all of the Company’s assets were held as collateral for the debt. The exchange released all of the Company’s assets and substituted several specific properties as collateral to secure the payment of the real estate debt. The interest rate is currently set at 5.92% for the next five years and is subject to adjustment every five years. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification of Exchange of Debt Instruments”, the original debt is considered extinguished because of substantially different terms. Therefore, loan fees of approximately $131,000 associated with the original debt were retired during the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 when the Bank gave the Company its firm commitment.

On September 29, 2006, the Company changed its terms agreements with its primary lender, Bank of the West. The agreements modified the Company’s $4,870,101 million debt with Bank of the West from a variable rate of interest to a fixed rate of interest of 7.26% for the next five years. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the modified debt was less than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original debt. Therefore, the modification of terms was not considered substantially different and there was no debt extinguishment.

At January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company was not aware of any non-compliance with the minimum financial ratios or other loan covenants.

(7)	Income Taxes

Income taxes consist of the following for the years ended January 31:

Other, discontinued operations		(6,278	)		(7,020	)		7,064
Total	$	307,500			274,400			364,900

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows at January 31:

	2008			2007
Deferred tax assets –
At January 31, 2008 deferred revenue principally due to accrual for financial reporting purposes	$	13,329			16,702
At January 31, 2008, compensated absences, principally due to accrual for financial reporting purposes		33,996			35,708
Rounding		(225	)		(110	)
Total gross deferred tax assets		47,100			52,300
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation		682,648			810,528
Rounding		3,452			1,072
Total gross deferred liabilities		686,100			811,600
Net deferred tax liability	$	639,000			759,300

There was no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2008, 2007 or 2006. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

At January 31, 2001 the Company recorded a tax payable to Lamar Advertising Company (“Lamar”) (as successor to Bowlin Outdoor Advertising and Travel Centers Incorporated (“Outdoor”). Prior to that date, the Company and Outdoor were part of a consolidated group for tax purposes, and effective January 30, 2001, Outdoor spun off the stock of the Company in a tax free distribution to Outdoor’s shareholders. Immediately thereafter, Outdoor merged with and into Lamar.

In anticipation of the spin-off, the Company and Outdoor entered into a Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement, pursuant to which Outdoor and the Company each agreed to indemnify the other against taxes attributable to their respective operations, both before and after the spin-off. The Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement specifically provided that, in determining taxes attributable to Outdoor and the Company for periods prior to the spin-off, any net losses of either Outdoor of the Company would offset the income of the other. Thus, if the net losses for Outdoor were in excess of the income of the Company for a tax year, the Company would not have any payment obligation to Outdoor under the Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement for such tax year.

Outdoor’s net losses for the tax year 2000 (fiscal year ending January 31, 2001) exceeded the income of the Company for such year. As a result, the Company had no obligation to Outdoor for any payment under the Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement. Management believes that the Company had no obligation to Outdoor for any such payment under the Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement. As a result, the liability of $201,200 has been removed from the Company’s books and recorded as an unusual item in the income statement for the year ended January 31, 2007.

The Company’s contributions to the profit-sharing plan were $63,838, $61,926 and $60,020 in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation specifies that benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position meeting the more-likely than-not recognition threshold should be measured at the largest amount of benefit for which the likelihood of realization upon ultimate settlement exceeds 50 percent. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 on February 1, 2007.

FSP AUG AIR-1

ITEM 9A(T).

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there was a material weakness in the control environment related to general merchandise inventory at the Company ’ s ten retail locations and the related disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective. Historically, the Company has used yearly estimates based on standard markups within defined categories to record cost of goods sold. The Company has historically counted physical inventory at each location at the end of each fiscal year. To solve the material weakness in the contro l environment related to general merchandise inventory at the Company ’ s ten retail locations, the Company took interim inventories during the third quarter ended October 31, 2007 and during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and adjusted variances bet w een estimated and physical inventories as needed. The Company had no material adjustments at fiscal years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 and does not anticipate material adjustments going forward.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statem ents for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurat e ly and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the authorizations of mana g ement and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention and timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company ’ s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

B ecause of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may or may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inade q uate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures included in such controls may deteriorate.

Management assessed its internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2008, the end of the f iscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management ’ s assessment included evaluation of elements such as t he design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and its overall control environment. This assessment is supported by testing and monitoring performed by the Company ’ s own financial an d accounting personnel.

Based on our assessment, management has concluded that its internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of January 31, 2008 due to the existence of a material weakness in the control environment related to gener al merchandise inventory at the Company ’ s ten retail locations.

The general merchandise inventory at the Company ’ s ten retail locations at January 31, 2008 was approximately $1.262 million or 37.0% of the Company ’ s total inventory. Inventory at the Compa ny ’ s warehouse was maintained on a perpetual inventory system where purchases and issues are recorded directly into the inventory account as they occur. Therefore, the balance in the warehouse inventory account represents the ending inventory amount and t here is no weakness related to the warehouse inventory. The warehouse inventory at the end of the Company ’ s fiscal year was approximately $1.172 million or 34.3% of the Company ’ s total inventory. Other key inventories including gasoline, Dairy Queen foo d and paper and jewelry were taken monthly and the physical counts were reconciled to the Company ’ s records; therefore management concluded there are no weaknesses related to these inventories. Gasoline, Dairy Queen food and paper and jewelry inventories w ere approximately $800,000 or 23.5% of the Company ’ s total inventory.

The Company continues to dedicate resources to correct this issue and to implement its plan to use electronic point of sale merchandise tracking systems that will provide the Company with the ability to conduct more periodic physical inventories as well as more accurately monitor cost of goods sold. The first phase of the plan, which was completed in March 2007, was bar-coding all items in the Company’s central warehouse. The second phase of the plan, which was bar-coding the merchandise at the Company’s ten retail locations, was completed during the third quarter ended October 31, 2007.

During fiscal year 2008, the Company scanned the jewelry inventories at the retail locations on a monthly basis. The scanned jewelry inventories were reconciled to the Company’s records and at the end of fiscal 2008, the Company was able to use the scanned jewelry inventories for inventory valuation. At the end of fiscal year 2008, the Company began scanning general merchandise and the valuation process for scanning general merchandise is still being tested. The Company anticipates completing the testing phase of scanning general merchandise at the retail locations by the end of fiscal year 2009.

The Company engaged the firm of Pulakos & Alongi, LTD to provide services to assist the Company in establishing, documenting and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework in preparation for complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 management requirements for non-accelerated filers for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2007. The Company has completed the required documentation and will begin testing and documenting internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending 2009.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the above described issue, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Board of Directors also reviews the Company's internal accounting controls, practices and policies. The Board of Directors has determined that Kim D. Stäke, while not independent, qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Commission and in other public communications made by the Company; strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; and promotes prompt internal reporting of violations of the code of ethics to an appropriate person or persons. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and directors as the Company is not required to do so.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commissions. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) owners are also required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms received by it, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, all filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) owners were complied with.

Shareholder Nominations

The Company’s entire Board of Directors performs the functions similar to those of a nominating committee. The Board of Directors believes that given the size of the Company and its operations, it is more efficient for the entire Board to perform this function, rather than delegating this to a committee. The full Board, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, identifies director nominees. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bowlin, owns approximately 61.5% of the Company’s common stock and approved the nomination of the members of the Board identified herein. The Company’s existing directors and officers own a majority of the Company’s common stock, and, as a result, this group’s affirmative vote is sufficient to elect director nominees. Consequently, the Board has not established a procedure for shareholders to nominate potential director nominees.

The Board will consider, but is not required to approve, nominations for directors by shareholders for any annual meeting of the Company, provided a written recommendation is received by the Company no later than the date shareholder proposals must be submitted for consideration prior to such annual meeting.

The Company has not granted any plan-based awards to any officers and there were no outstanding equity awards, exercise of stock options, SARs and similar instruments, or vesting of stock, including restricted stock, restricted stock units or similar instruments, at year end.

The Company has no pension plans or nonqualified defined contribution or other nonqualified deferred compensation plans.
