3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE AMOUNTS: 

     The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128") effective December 31, 1997. 
SFAS 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS").  Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
that period.  Diluted EPS is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential
common shares that were outstanding during the period.  Dilutive potential
common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of
stock options and warrants for all periods.  All prior period net income (loss)
amounts have been restated to comply with SFAS 128.

4.   OPTION REPRICING

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Board of Directors of the 
Company approved the cancellation of outstanding stock options for 
non-executives with an exercise price ranging from $13.06 to $15.14 per share 
and the re-grant of options to purchase an equivalent number of shares at 
$4.75 per share.  A total of 252,975 options were canceled and re-granted.

5.   CONTINGENCIES 

     The Company is involved in certain legal matters in the ordinary course of
business including the alleged infringement of a competitor's patent.  No
provision for any liability that may result upon the resolution of these matters
has been made in the accompanying financial statements nor is the amount or
range of possible loss, if any, reasonably estimable.

6.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGE ACCRUAL

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company announced a
restructuring plan which included a workforce reduction of approximately 40
employees and the consolidation of the Company's facilities.  The Company
expects to complete the restructuring during fiscal 1999. 

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company has made payments of
$45,000 against the provision of $1.7 million set aside for this restructuring
program.


7.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, (SFAS 130), "Reporting 
Comprehensive Income," which specifies the computation, presentation and 
disclosure requirements for comprehensive income.  The Company implemented 
SFAS 130 during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.  There was no impact on the 
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  
Comprehensive income and net income are the same.

      In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments 
of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131").  SFAS 131 changes 
current practice under SFAS 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of an 
Enterprise," by establishing a new framework on which to base segment 
reporting (referred to as the "management" approach).  It is effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and requires interim 
reporting in the second year of application.

     The Company does not expect any material impact on the financial 
statements from this pronouncement.

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

Results of Operations:

     Net sales.  Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 decreased by
43.8% to $13.9 million from $24.7 million for the corresponding period of the
prior year.  For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, OEM sales decreased by 34.7%
to $11.5 million compared to $17.6 million in the corresponding period of the
prior year.  This decrease was principally due to volume reductions from certain
domestic and international OEM customer's reflecting soft demand for mountain
bikes, as well as delays in the start up of many OEM customer's 1999 model year.
Sales to the retail accessory market in the quarter ended June 30, 1998
decreased by 66.3% to $2.5 million compared to $7.1 million in the corresponding
period of the prior year due to a continuing softness in the overall domestic
and international mountain biking market.

     Gross margin.  Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 decreased to 1.7% compared to 35% for the
corresponding period of the prior year.  The decrease in gross margin
principally resulted from fixed overhead costs not being fully absorbed due to
lower than anticipated sales and certain start-up expenses associated with the
change over to the 1999 product model year, which occurred during the quarter
ended June 30, 1998. Included within the fixed overhead costs were depreciation
& amortization charges, which increased $674,000 to $1.4 million (or
approximately 9.9% of net sales).

     Selling, general and administrative expense.  Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased by
32.6% to $3.9 million (or approximately 28.3% of net sales) compared to $3.0
million (or approximately 12% of net sales) in the corresponding period of the
prior year. This increase can be attributed to increases in certain marketing
expenses, increased spending to support the new software implementation and an
increase in the bad debt reserve. 
     
     Research, development and engineering expense.  Research, development and
engineering ("R&D") expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 remained flat at
$1.3 million or approximately 9.3% of net sales, compared to approximately 5.3%
of net sales in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. 

     Interest income.  For the quarter ended June 30, 1998 the Company
recognized interest income of $138,000 compared $193,000 in the corresponding
period of the prior year. The decrease was principally due to lower cash
balances.

     Income tax (benefit) expense.  The Company's effective tax rate for the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 was a benefit of 28% compared to an expense of
36.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The change was due to the company
recognizing net operating loss carry backs for which they expect to receive
refunds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:  

     For the three months ended June 30, 1998, net cash used in operating
activities was $1.3 million, which consisted of net loss of $3.5 million
increased by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $1.6 million,
partially offset by a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of
$592,000.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $2.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, which consisted of acquisitions of property and equipment. 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $19,000, which consisted of
proceeds and tax benefits from the exercise of employee stock options.

Part I:  Item 2
     

At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.4 million and
working capital of $17.7 million.  The Company believes that its current cash
balances and or financing sources available will be sufficient to provide
operating liquidity for at least the next twelve months.

     Certain statements made in this document constitute "forward-looking 
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown 
risks, uncertainties and other facts that may cause the actual results, 
performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be 
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements 
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such factors are 
discussed in detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Given these 
uncertainties, prospective and current investors are cautioned not to place 
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  The Company disclaims any 
obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of 
any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in the 
Annual Report on Form 10-K or this document.

Impact of the Year 2000:

     During the fiscal year, the Company decided to replace its current 
management information systems.  The system conversion is expected to occur 
during the 1999 fiscal year and will allow the Company to become Year 2000 
compliant.  The estimated cost of the system conversion is approximately $1.5 
million.  However, there can be no assurance that software incompatibility 
with the Year 2000 on the part of the Company or any of its significant 
suppliers will not cause an interruption of operations or other limitations 
of system functionality, or that the Company will not incur substantial costs 
to avoid such occurrences.  The company is in the process of requesting Year 
2000 compliance letters from significant suppliers and plans to request such 
letters from significant customers.  In the event that any of the Company's 
significant suppliers or customers does not successfully and timely achieve 
Year 2000 compliance, the Company's business or operations could be adversely 
affected.

the Premises equal monthly payments of $21,307.20 in advance, on the first 
day of each month of the term hereof; provided, however, that Sublessee shall 
pay Sublessor upon the execution hereof $21,307.20 as Base Rent for the 
period August 20, 1998, through September 19, 1998, and on September 1, 1998, 
shall pay the Base Rent for the period September 20, 1998, through September 
30, 1998, of $7,812.64. Base Rent for any period during the term hereof which 
is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly 
installment. 

           4.2   RENT DEFINED.  All monetary obligations of Sublessee to 
Sublessor under the terms of this Sublease (except for the Security Deposit) 
are deemed to be rent ("RENT"). Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the 
United States to Sublessor at the address stated herein or to such other 
persons or at such other places as Sublessor may designate in writing.

      5.  SECURITY DEPOSIT.  Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor upon 
execution hereof $21,307.20 as security for Sublessee's faithful performance 
of Sublessee's obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay Rent or other 
charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of 
this Sublease, Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said 
deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge in default or for the 
payment of any other sum to which Sublessor may became obligated by reason of 
Sublessee's default, or to compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which 
Sublessor may suffer thereby. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any 
portion of said deposit, Sublessee shall within ten days after written demand 
therefore forward to Sublessor an amount sufficient to restore said Deposit 
to the full amount provided for herein and Sublessee's failure to do so shall 
be a material breach of this Sublease. Sublessor shall not be required to 
keep said Deposit separate from its general accounts. If Sublessee performs 
all of Sublessee's obligations hereunder, said Deposit, or so much thereof as 
has not therefore been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without 
payment of interest to Sublessee (or at Sublessor's option, to the last 
assignee, if any, of Sublessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the 
term hereof, and after Sublessee has vacated the Premises. No trust 
relationship is created herein between Sublessor and Sublessee with respect 
to said Security Deposit.

     6.  USE.

           6.1   AGREED USE.  The Premises shall be used and occupied only for 
uses permitted by the Master Lease, and for no other purpose.

            (a)  It has been advised to satisfy itself with respect to the 
condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC

with legal requirements, and their suitability for Sublessee's intended use,

            (b)  Sublessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary

made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to any 
matters other than as expressly set forth in this Sublease, and without 
reference to the Master Lease.

     7.  MASTER LEASE

            7.1  Sublessor is the lessee of the Premises by virtue of a 
lease, hereinafter the "MASTER LEASE", a copy of which is attached hereto 
marked Exhibit 1, dated March 26, 1996, together with Summary of Basic Lease 
Terms and Exhibits A, E, F, H, I, and J attached thereto, and First Addendum 
to Lease dated March 26, 1996, wherein AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited 
partnership (successor in interest to AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited 
partnership) is the lessor, hereinafter the "MASTER LESSOR".

            7.2  This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and 
subordinate to the Master Lease.

            7.3  The terms, conditions and respective obligations of 
Sublessor and Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms 
and conditions of the Master Lease except for those provisions of the Master 
Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the 
terms of this Sublease document shall control over the Master Lease. 
Therefore, for the purposes of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease 
the word "Lessor" is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublessor herein and 
wherever in the Master Lease the word "Lessee" is used it shall be deemed 
to mean the Sublessee herein.

            7.4  During the term of this Sublease and for all periods 
subsequent for obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this 
Sublease, Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform and 
comply with, for the benefit of Sublessor and Master Lessor, each and every 
obligation of Sublessor under the Master Lease except for the following 
paragraphs which are excluded therefrom: None.

            7.5  The obligations that Sublessee has assumed under paragraph 
7.4 hereof are hereinafter referred to as the "SUBLESSEE'S ASSUMED 
OBLIGATIONS". The obligations that sublessee has not assumed under paragraph 
7.4 hereof are hereinafter referred to as the "SUBLESSOR'S REMAINING 
OBLIGATIONS".

            7.6  Sublessee shall hold Sublessor free and harmless from all 
liability, judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands, including reasonable 
attorneys fees and costs arising out of Sublessee's failure to comply with or 
perform Sublessee's Assumed Obligations.

            7.7  Sublessor agrees to maintain the Master Lease during the 
entire term of this Sublease, subject, however, to any earlier termination of 
the Master Lease without the fault of the Sublessor, and to comply with or 
perform Sublessor's Remaining Obligations and to hold Sublessee free and 
harmless from all liability, judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands 
arising out of Sublessor's failure to comply with or perform Sublessor's 
Remaining Obligations.

            7.8  Sublessor represents to Sublessee that the Master Lease is 
in full force and effect and that to Sublessor's actual knowledge no default 
exists on the part of any Party to the Master Lease.

     9.  CONSENT OF MASTER LESSOR.

           9.1  In the event that the Master Lease requires that Sublessor 
obtain the consent of Master Lessor to any subletting by Sublessor then, this 
Sublease shall not be effective unless, prior to July 15, 1998, Master Lessor 
signs a consent to this Subletting.

           9.3  In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent then:

                (a) Such consent shall not release Sublessor of its 
obligations or alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the Rent and 
perform and comply with all of the obligations of Sublessor to be performed 
under the Master Lease.

                (b) The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or 
anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by 
Master Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease.

                (c) The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute a 
consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment.

                (d) In the event of any Default of Sublessor under the Master 
Lease, Master Lessor may proceed directly against Sublessor, any guarantors 
or anyone else liable under the Master Lease or this Sublease without first 
exhausting Master Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity liable 
thereon to Master Lessor.

                (f) In the event that Sublessor shall Default in its 
obligations under the Master Lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and 
without being obligated to do so, may require Sublessee to attorn to Master 
Lessor in which event Master Lessor shall undertake the obligations of 
Sublessor under this Sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to 
termination of this Sublease but Master Lessor shall not be liable for any 
prepaid Rent nor any Security Deposit paid by Sublessee, nor shall Master 
Lessor be liable for any other Defaults of the Sublessor under the Sublease.

          9.6  In the event that Sublessor Defaults under its obligations to 
be performed under the Master Lease by Sublessor, Master Lessor agrees to 
deliver to Sublessee a copy of any such notice of default. Sublessee shall 
have the right to cure any Default of Sublessor described in any notice of 
default within ten days after service of such notice of default on Sublessee. 
If such Default is cured by Sublessee then Sublessee shall have the right of 
reimbursement and offset from and against Sublessor.

     11.  ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any party named herein brings an action to 
enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party 
in any such action, on trial and appeal, shall be entitled to his reasonable 
attorney's fees and costs to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the 
Court.

     12.  ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.  [If there are no additional provisions, draw 
a line from this point to the next printed word after the space left here. If 
there are additional provisions place the same here.] The Rider attached 
hereto and of even date herewith is incorporated herein by reference.
