NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hibbett
Sporting Goods, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company") have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 3,
1996. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position as of November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995, and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience seasonal
fluctuations in its net sales and operating income. Therefore, the results of
the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.
2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share for the periods presented is calculated by
dividing net income (loss) by the number of weighted average shares outstanding.
Common stock equivalents in the form of stock options are included in the
calculation utilizing the treasury stock method for all periods presented.
3. Stockholders' Investment Transactions
On November 1, 1995, the SK Equity Fund, L.P. and SK Investment Fund, L.P.
(collectively, the "Funds") acquired the majority of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock as part of a recapitalization of the Company (the
"Recapitalization"). In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company (i)
sold to the Funds approximately 75% of the Company's Common Stock, (ii)
repurchased a portion of the Common Stock held by the Anderson Shareholders
(Charles C. Anderson, Sr., Joel R. Anderson, Charles C. Anderson, Jr., Terry C.
Anderson, Clyde B. Anderson, Harold M. Anderson, certain Anderson family trusts
and certain other persons), leaving them with approximately 22% of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock, (iii) issued $16,000,000 in aggregate principal amount
of its subordinated notes ("Subordinated Notes") and (iv) issued $4,125,000 in
aggregate principal amount of its senior subordinated notes ("Senior
Subordinated Notes"). In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company also
refinanced its bank facilities with a $26,000,000 credit facility provided by
Heller Financial, Inc. ("Heller"), consisting of a $25,000,000 revolving loan
agreement (the "Revolving Loan Agreement") and a $1,000,000 term loan (the "Term
Loan"). The Senior Subordinated Notes which financed the construction of the
Company's new headquarters and distribution center were subsequently redeemed in
February 1996 from proceeds of the sale and leaseback of this facility.
On September 13, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-6.1 reverse
stock split of the Company's Common Stock. All net income (loss) per share,
weighted average shares outstanding, stock options, and stock option per share
amounts have been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect
this reverse stock split.

<PAGE>
In addition, the Board of Directors approved a plan of reorganization which
included (i) reincorporating the Company in the state of Delaware, (ii)
decreasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to
12,000,000 shares, and (iii) authorizing 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $.01 per share.
In October 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of
2,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16 per share. The net proceeds
were used to repay the Subordinated Notes and accrued interest thereon, to repay
the Term Loan and accrued interest thereon, and to reduce borrowings on the
Revolving Loan Agreement.
4. Contingencies
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel,
the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not
presently expected to materially affect the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc. ("Hibbett" or the "Company") is a rapidly-
growing operator of full-line sporting goods stores in small to mid-sized
markets in the southeastern United States. Hibbett's stores offer a broad
assortment of quality athletic footwear, apparel and equipment at competitive
prices with superior customer service. The Company's merchandise assortment
features a core selection of brand name merchandise emphasizing team and
individual sports complemented by a selection of localized apparel and
accessories designed to appeal to a wide range of customers within each market.
As of November 2, 1996, the Company operated 86 stores in eleven states.
Beginning in fiscal 1994, Hibbett accelerated its store opening rate to
approximately 10 stores per year. In fiscal 1997, the Company has further
accelerated its rate of new store openings to take advantage of the growth
opportunities in its target markets. As of November 2, 1996, the Company had
opened 19 new stores during the fiscal year. The Company plans to open
approximately 27 Hibbett Sports stores in fiscal 1998. To support its expansion
plans, the Company has increased its staffing levels in finance, merchandising,
real estate, distribution and field management. In January 1996, the Company
moved into its new headquarters and distribution center. While operating margins
may be impacted in periods in which incremental expenses have been incurred to
support acceleration of the Company's expansion plans, the Company expects to
benefit from leveraging its expenses over a larger store base as it continues to
implement its expansion plans over the long term.
In October 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of
2,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16 per share. The net proceeds
to the Company of approximately $33 million were used to repay the Subordinated
Notes including accrued interest thereon, to repay the Term Loan and accrued
interest thereon, and to reduce borrowings on the Revolving Loan Agreement.
The Company operates on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday
nearest to January 31 of each year. Hibbett is incorporated under the laws of
the state of Delaware.

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 2, 1996 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED
OCTOBER 28, 1995
Net sales. Net sales increased $4.9 million, or 31.0%, to $20.6 million for
the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996, from $15.8 million for the comparable
period in the prior year. This increase is attributed to the opening of twenty
Hibbett Sports stores, three Sports & Co. superstores and one Sports Additions
store and an 8% increase in comparable store net sales. The increase in
comparable net sales was due primarily to increased footwear sales and improved
inventory processing at the distribution center. During the thirteen weeks ended
November 2, 1996, the Company opened twelve Hibbett Sports stores and one larger
format Sports & Co. superstore. New stores and stores not in the comparable
store net sales calculation accounted for $3.8 million of the increase in net
sales and increases in comparable store net sales contributed $1.1 million.
Comparable store net sales data for a period reflect stores open throughout that
period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. For the periods
indicated, comparable store net sales do not include sales by the Company's four
larger format Sports & Co. superstores or the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Hibbett Team Sales, Inc.
Gross profit. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory, occupancy
costs for stores and occupancy and operating costs for the distribution center.
Gross profit was $6.4 million, or 31.1% of net sales, in the thirteen weeks
ended November 2, 1996, as compared to $4.9 million, or 31.0% of net sales, in
the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to improved
leveraging of store occupancy and distribution costs over higher sales.
Store operating, selling and administration expenses. Store operating,
selling and administrative expenses were $4.4 million, or 21.4% of net sales,
for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996, as compared to $3.3 million, or
20.7% of net sales, for the comparable period a year ago. This increase as a
percentage of net sales is primarily attributable to the costs associated with
increasing the Company's corporate staff to support future growth, including the
addition of a chief financial officer, as well as additional personnel in the
Company's real estate, loss prevention, merchandise, operations and training
departments.
8
<PAGE>
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage
of net sales increased to 2.3% in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996,
from 1.9% for the comparable period in the prior year due to higher costs for
the new distribution center equipment and the increased number of new store
openings.
Interest expense. The $518,000 increase in interest expense for the thirteen
weeks ended November 2, 1996 compared to the prior year period is due primarily
to the interest expense associated with the Subordinated Notes which were issued
in connection with the Recapitalization in November 1995 and also to an increase
in borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement and Revolving Credit Facility
to fund new store openings. In connection with the initial public offering, the
Company repaid a significant portion of its long-term debt. As a result, the
Company anticipates lower interest expense in future periods.
Extraordinary item, net. The $1,093,000 extraordinary item is the result of
the early extinguishment of debt with the proceeds of the initial public
offering. This item is shown net of the applicable income tax benefit of
$677,000.
THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 2, 1996 COMPARED TO THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED
OCTOBER 28, 1995
Net sales. Net sales increased $14.6 million, or 32.3%, to $59.6 million for
the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996, from $45.1 million for the
comparable period in the prior year. This increase is attributed to the opening
of twenty Hibbett Sports stores, three Sports & Co. superstores and one Sports
Additions store and a 12% increase in comparable store net sales. The increase
in comparable store net sales was due primarily to increased footwear sales and
improved inventory processing at the distribution center. During the thirty-nine
weeks ended November 2, 1996, the Company opened eighteen Hibbett Sports stores
and one larger format Sports & Co. superstore. New stores and stores not in the
comparable store net sales calculation accounted for $9.9 million of the
increase in net sales and increases in comparable store net sales contributed
$4.7 million. Comparable store net sales data for a period reflect stores open
throughout that period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
For the periods indicated, comparable store net sales do not include sales by
the Company's four larger format Sports & Co. superstores or the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Hibbett Team Sales, Inc.
Gross profit. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory, occupancy
costs for stores and occupancy and operating costs for the distribution center.
Gross profit was $18.2 million, or 30.5% of net sales, in the thirty-nine weeks
ended November 2, 1996, as compared to $13.7 million, or 30.4% of net sales, in
the same period of the prior fiscal year. Improved leveraging of store occupancy
costs over higher sales was partially offset by higher markdowns in the current
year period.
Store operating, selling and administration expenses. Store operating,
selling and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2,
1996 included a net gain on the disposal of assets which primarily relates to
the $513,000 gain on the sale of the former headquarters and distribution
facility which was replaced by the Company's new headquarters and distribution
center. The net gain was substantially offset by a one-time compensation expense
of approximately $462,000 related to the issuance of stock options on August 1,
1996. Excluding these items, store operating, selling and administrative
expenses were $12.2 million, or 20.5% of net sales, for the thirty-nine weeks
ended November 2, 1996, as compared to $8.9 million, or 19.7% of net sales, for
the comparable period a year ago. This increase as a percentage of net sales is
primarily attributable to the costs associated with increasing the Company's
corporate staff to support future growth, including the addition of a chief
financial officer, as well as additional personnel in the Company's real estate,
loss prevention, merchandise, operations and training departments.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage
of net sales increased slightly to 2.2% in the thirty-nine weeks ended November
2, 1996 from 2.1% in the prior year period.
Interest expense. The $1,922,000 increase in interest expense for the
thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 compared to the prior year period is
due primarily to the interest expense associated with the Subordinated Notes
which were issued in connection with the Recapitalization in November 1995 and
also to an increase in borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement and
Revolving Credit Facility to fund new store openings. In connection with the
initial public offering, the Company repaid a significant portion of its long-
term debt. As a result, the Company anticipates lower interest expense in future
periods.
9
<PAGE>
Extraordinary item, net. The $1,093,000 extraordinary item is the result of
the early extinguishment of debt with the proceeds of the initial public
offering. This item is shown net of the applicable income tax benefit of
$677,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's capital requirements relate primarily to new store openings
and working capital requirements. The Company's working capital needs are
somewhat seasonal in nature and typically reach their peak near the end of the
third and the beginning of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Historically,
the Company has funded its cash requirements primarily through cash flow from
operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facilities.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities has historically been
driven by net income levels combined with fluctuations in inventory and accounts
payable balances. The Company has continued to increase inventory levels in the
thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 as the number of stores has increased
and the larger Sports & Co. superstores have opened. As a result, net cash used
in operating activities was $6.5 million for the thirty-nine week period ending
November 2, 1996 as compared to $194,000 for the thirty-nine week period ending
October 28, 1995.
With respect to cash flows from investing activities, during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company completed the sale-leaseback of its new
headquarters and distribution center and the sale of the former headquarters and
warehouse facilities for combined proceeds of $5.6 million and used the proceeds
to repay $4.3 million then outstanding under the Senior Subordinated Notes
issued to finance the new headquarters and distribution center on a temporary
basis and to fund its working capital requirements. Capital expenditures of $3.7
million for the thirty-nine week period ending November 2, 1996 was primarily
attributable to new store construction. The higher capital expenditures for the
year earlier period resulted primarily from the construction of the new
headquarters and distribution center.
The Company generated $4.9 million in cash from financing activities during
the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996. Total cash generated of $33.1
million from the initial public stock offering was offset by repayment of long
term debt and repayment of revolving loan borrowings totaling $28.2 million.
From November 1, 1995 until October 31, 1996, the Company's principal source
of liquidity was its $25.0 million Revolving Loan Agreement provided by Heller.
In connection with the initial public offering, this loan was repaid and the
Company established a new unsecured $20 million Revolving Credit Facility (the
"Facility") provided by AmSouth Bank of Alabama. Borrowings under the Facility
bear interest at the Company's option either at a base rate, a quoted cost of
funds rate, or a LIBOR based rate. As of November 2, 1996, the Company had $5.3
million of borrowings outstanding under the Facility, which expires October
31,1999. Based on its current operating and store opening plans, the Company
believes that it can fund its cash needs for the foreseeable future through
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and cash generated from
operations.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings
