                 HIBBETT SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              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 Regulation 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 1, 1997. 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 May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996, 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.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Earnings per share for the periods presented is calculated by dividing net
income 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 in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion ("APB") No. 15 for all periods presented.  In March 1997, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  SFAS No. 128 will supersede APB
No.15 effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15,
1997.  Under SFAS No. 128, the Company's earnings per share for the thirteen
weeks ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996  would have been $.23 and $.24,
respectively, unchanged from the APB No. 15 calculation.

3.  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 high quality athletic equipment, footwear, and apparel 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.
The Company believes that its stores are among the primary retail distribution
alternatives for brand name vendors that seek to reach Hibbett's target markets.

     The Company operates 87 Hibbett Sports stores as well as eight smaller-
format Sports Additions athletic shoe stores and four larger-format Sports & Co.
superstores. Hibbett's primary retail format and growth vehicle is Hibbett
Sports, a 5,000 square foot store located predominantly in enclosed malls.
Although competitors in some markets may carry product lines and national brands
similar to Hibbett, the Company believes that its Hibbett Sports stores are
typically the primary, full-line sporting goods retailers in their markets due
to, among other factors, the extensive selection of traditional team and
individual sports merchandise offered and a high level of customer service.
 
     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.

(1) Includes a $513,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company's former
    headquarters and distribution facility. Excluding this gain, store
    operating, selling and administrative expenses represented 19.3% of net
    sales and operating income would have been 9.6% of net sales for the
    thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996.

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 3, 1997 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 4, 1996
 
     Net sales. Net sales increased $5.9 million, or 29.2%, to $26.2 million for
the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997, from $20.3 million for the comparable
period in the prior year. This increase is attributed to the opening of twenty-
nine Hibbett Sports stores and one Sports & Co. superstore and a 7.9% increase
in comparable store net sales. The increase in comparable net sales was due
primarily to increased footwear and equipment sales as well as improved
inventory processing at the distribution center. During the thirteen weeks ended
May 3, 1997, the Company opened ten Hibbett Sports stores. New stores and stores
not in the comparable store net sales calculation accounted for $4.6 million of
the increase in net sales and increases in comparable store net sales
contributed $1.3 million. Comparable store net sales data for a period reflect
stores open throughout that period and the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year. 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 $8.0 million, or 30.7% of net sales, in the thirteen weeks
ended May 3, 1997, as compared to $6.2 million, or 30.7% of net sales, in the
same period of the prior fiscal year.  A slight decline in product margin was
offset by improved leveraging of warehouse, distribution and occupancy costs in
the current year period.

     Store operating, selling and administrative expenses. Store operating,
selling and administrative expenses were $5.2 million, or 20.0% of net sales,
for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997, as compared to $3.4 million, or 16.8%
of net sales, for the comparable period a year ago. Store operating, selling and
administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996 include a net
gain on the disposal of assets which primarily relates to the gain on the sale
of the Company's former headquarters and distribution facility. Excluding the
net gain on the disposal of assets, store operating, selling and administrative
expenses were $3.9 million, or 19.3% of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended
May 4, 1996. The increase in store operating, selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 is
primarily attributable to costs associated with the opening of ten new stores in
the period as compared to two stores in the prior year period.


     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization as a
percentage of net sales increased to 2.0% in the thirteen weeks ended May 3,
1997, from 1.9% for the comparable period in the prior year due to the increased
number of new store openings.

     Interest expense. The $935,000 decrease in interest expense for the
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 compared to the prior year period is the result
of the repayment of long-term debt from the proceeds of the initial public
offering in October 1996.

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 flows 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
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 as the number of new stores has increased and
has financed this increase primarily through increased accounts payable
balances. Net cash provided by operating activities was $749,000 for the
thirteen week period ending May 3, 1997 as compared to net cash used in
operating activities of $2.8 million for the thirteen week period ending May 4,
1996.

     With respect to cash flows from investing activities, the $976,000 of
capital expenditures in the thirteen week period ended May 3, 1997 primarily
related to the opening of ten new stores, store remodels, and headquarters and
distribution center related capital expenditures. During the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, the Company completed the sale-

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
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 of long-term debt then
outstanding.

     Net cash used in financing activities of $1.6 million for the period ending
May 4, 1996 was the result of (1) the principal payments of long-term debt, and
(2) loan borrowings and repayments under the Company's revolving credit
facility.

     The Company estimates capital expenditures in fiscal 1998 to be
approximately $3.9 million which includes resources budgeted to (i) fund the
opening of approximately 27 Hibbett Sports stores, (ii) remodel selected
existing stores and (iii) fund headquarters and distribution center-related
capital expenditures.

     In October 1996, 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 May 3,
1997, there were no amounts 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.
