              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 August 2, 1997 and August 3, 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 periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Under SFAS No. 128,
the Company's basic earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended August 2,
1997 and August 3, 1996 would have been unchanged, and for the twenty-six weeks
ended August 2, 1997 and August 3, 1996 basic earnings per share would have been
$0.39 and $0.22, respectively.

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 93 Hibbett Sports stores as well as nine smaller-
format Sports Addition 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 one-time pre-tax compensation expense of $462,000 related to
    stock options issued on August 1, 1996. Excluding this expense, store
    operating, selling and administrative expenses represented 20.8% of net
    sales, and operating income would have been 6.3% of net sales for the
    thirteen weeks ended August 3, 1996.

(2)  Includes a $513,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company's former
     headquarters and distribution facility and a one-time pre-tax compensation

     Excluding these items, store operating, selling and administrative expenses
     represented 20.0% of net sales, and operating income would have been 8.0%
     of net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 1996.

<PAGE>
 
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED AUGUST 2, 1997 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED 
AUGUST 3, 1996
 
     Net sales.  Net sales increased  $7.6 million, or 40.6%, to $26.4 million
for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 1997, from $18.8 million for the
comparable period in the prior year.  This increase is attributed to the opening
of thirty-one  Hibbett Sports stores, one Sports and Co. superstore and one
Sports Addition store in the last 52 week period ended August 2, 1997, and a
9.5% 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 August 2, 1997, the Company opened six Hibbett Sports stores and one
Sports Addition store.  New stores and stores not in the comparable store net
sales calculation accounted for $6.1 million of the increase in net sales and
increases in comparable store net sales contributed $1.5 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 $7.8 million, or 29.7% of net sales, in the thirteen weeks
ended August 2, 1997, as compared to $5.5 million, or 29.5% of net sales, in the
same period of the prior fiscal year.  A slight increase in product margin was
offset by a slight increase in store occupancy costs, with the improvement in
overall gross profit being due to improved leveraging of warehouse and
distribution costs in the current year period.

     Store operating, selling and administrative expenses.  Store operating,
selling and administrative expenses were $5.7 million, or 21.5% of net sales,
for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 1997, as compared to $4.4 million, or
23.3% of net sales, for the comparable period a year ago.  Store operating,
selling and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 1996
include a one-time pre-tax compensation expense of $462,000 related to stock
options issued on August 1, 1996.  Excluding this one-time expense,  store
operating, selling and administrative expenses were $3.9 million, or 20.8% of
net sales for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 1996. The increase in store
operating, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in
the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 1997 is primarily attributable to costs
associated with the opening of six new stores in the period as compared to four
stores in the prior year period as well as public company related costs.

     Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 2.1% in the thirteen weeks ended August 2,
1997, from 2.3% for the comparable period in the prior year due to the increase
in net sales.

     Interest expense (income), net. The $890,000 decrease in interest expense
for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 1997 compared to the prior year period is
primarily the result of the repayment of long-term debt from the proceeds of the
initial public offering in October 1996.

TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED AUGUST 2, 1997 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED 
AUGUST 3, 1996
 
     Net sales.  Net sales increased  $13.5 million, or 34.7%, to $52.6 million
for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 1997, from $39.0 million for the
comparable period in the prior year.  This increase is attributed to the opening
of thirty-one  Hibbett Sports stores, one Sports & Co. superstore and one Sports
Addition store in the last 52 week period ended August 2, 1997, and a 8.8%
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 twenty-six weeks
ended August 2, 1997, the Company opened sixteen Hibbett Sports stores and one
Sports Addition store.  New stores and stores not in the comparable store net
sales calculation accounted for $10.7 million of the increase in net sales and
increases in comparable store net sales contributed $2.8 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 $15.9 million, or 30.2% of net sales, in the twenty-six weeks

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
ended August 2, 1997, as compared to $11.7 million, or 30.1% 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 and distribution costs in the
current year period.

     Store operating, selling and administrative expenses.  Store operating,
selling and administrative expenses were $10.9 million, or 20.8% of net sales,
for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 1997, as compared to $7.8 million, or
19.9% of net sales, for the comparable period a year ago.  Store operating,
selling and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3,
1996 include a net gain on the disposal of assets which primarily relates to the
$513,000 gain on the sale of the Company's former headquarters and distribution
facility. The net gain was substantially offset by a one-time compensation
expense of $462,000 related to stock options issued on August 1, 1996.
Excluding these items, store operating, selling and administrative expenses were
$7.8 million, or 20.0% of net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3,
1996. The increase in store operating, selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 1997 is
primarily attributable to costs associated with the opening of seventeen new
stores in the current year period as compared to six stores in the prior year
period.

     Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization as a
percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 2.0% in the twenty-six weeks ended
August 2, 1997, from 2.1% for the comparable period in the prior year due to the
increase in net sales.

     Interest expense (income), net. The $1,825,000 net decrease in interest
expense for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 1997 compared to the prior year
period is primarily 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
twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 1997 as the number of new stores has increased.
The Company has financed this increase through increased net income and accounts
payable balances. Net cash used in operating activities was $630,000 for the
twenty-six week period ending August 2, 1997 as compared to net cash used in
operating activities of $4.3 million for the twenty-six week period ending
August 3, 1996.

     With respect to cash flows from investing activities, the $1.7 million of
capital expenditures in the twenty-six week period ended August 2, 1997
primarily related to the opening of seventeen new stores, store remodels, and
headquarters and distribution center-related capital expenditures. During the
first quarter of the prior year, 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 of long-term debt then outstanding.

     Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 million for the twenty-
six week period ending August 2, 1997 was primarily the result of (1) proceeds
from the exercise of stock options, and (2) net loan borrowings and repayments
under the Company's revolving credit facility. Upon the exercise of the above
referenced stock options, the proceeds and the related accrued compensation
expense were credited to paid-in capital.
 
     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.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     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 August 2,
1997, there was $704,000 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.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 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 basic earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended August
2, 1997 and August 3, 1996 would have been unchanged, and for the twenty-six
weeks ended August 2, 1997 and August 3, 1996 basic earnings per share would
have been $0.39 and $0.22, respectively.
