NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------

the company as of October 7, 1995, October 1, 1994, and December 31, 1994 and
the results of operations and changes in financial position for the nine months
ended October 7, 1995 and October 1, 1994. The balance sheet at December 31,
1994 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the 1994 annual
report to shareholders.
Note B - Seasonal Aspects
- -------------------------
The results of operations for the nine month periods ended October 7, 1995
and October 1, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected

Note D - Earnings Per Share
- ---------------------------
Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent shares are based on
average shares outstanding. Dilutive effects of stock options on net income
(loss) are not material. The number of shares used to calculate earnings (loss)
per share for the nine months ended October 7, 1995 and October 1, 1994 was
4,133,454 and 4,127,498.
Note E - Income Taxes
- ---------------------
The provision (benefit) for income taxes was computed based on financial
statement income (loss).
Note F - Restructuring Charge
- -----------------------------
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company entered into sales
commitments to sell certain products which had been written down in the fourth
quarter of 1994, as part of the 1994 restructuring charge. The sales will take
place in the third and fourth quarters of 1995. The sales commitments call for
the inventory to be sold at amounts less than the remaining book value, and
therefore the Company recorded a change in its estimate of the 1994
restructuring charge. The change in estimate and charge to earnings amounted to
$1,040,000 before tax. No other significant adjustments to the estimate made in
the fourth quarter of 1994 have been made or are anticipated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's earnings during the
periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of
income.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER COMPARISON 1995 vs. 1994
Net sales were $22,857,000 in the third quarter of 1995 as compared to
$25,395,000 in the third quarter of 1994 a decrease of $2,538,000 or 10.0%.
Sales of sporting goods decreased $2,772,000 or 12.9% and sales of office and
graphic arts products increased $234,000 or 6.0%.
Sporting goods net sales decreased due to increased competition both
domestic and foreign. Increased retail competition has caused some credit
worthiness problems with some accounts, especially in the east, also resulting
in lower sales. Office and graphic arts net sales increased due to improvement
in graphic arts, office wholesale, and exports.
Cost of sales was $18,052,000 in the third quarter of 1995 as compared to
$19,865,000 in the third quarter of 1994, a decrease of $1,813,000 or 9.1%.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 79.0% in the third quarter
of 1995 as compared to 78.2% in the third quarter of 1994. Sporting goods cost
of sales as a percentage of net sales increased 2.4% and office and graphic arts
cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased 3.6%. The increase in the
sporting goods cost of sales percentage of net sales was mainly due to increased
material cost from inventory adjustments and the decrease in office and graphic
arts cost of sales percentage of net sales was due to lower factory expenses.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $ 3,224,000 in the
third quarter of 1995 as compared to $3,905,000 in the third quarter of 1994, a
decrease of $681,000 or 17.4%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
was 14.1% in the third quarter of 1995 as compared to 15.4% in the third quarter
of 1994. This decrease as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to reduced
expenses in salaries, allowances, marketing and advertising.
Interest expense was $566,000 in both quarters.
During the third quarter of 1995, the Company entered into sales
commitments to sell certain products which had been written down in the fourth
quarter of 1994, as part of the 1994 restructuring charge. The sales will take
place in the third and fourth quarters of 1995. The sales commitments call for
the inventory to be sold at amounts less than the remaining book value, and
therefore the Company recorded a change in its estimate of the 1994
restructuring charge. The change in estimate and charge to earnings amounted to
$1,040,000 before tax. No other significant adjustments to the estimate made in
the fourth quarter of 1994 have been made or are anticipated.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED
NINE MONTHS COMPARISON 1995 VS. 1994
Net sales were $60,127,000 in the first nine months of 1995 as compared to
$58,935,000 in the first nine months of 1994, an increase of $1,192,000 or
2.0%. Sales of sporting goods increased $960,000 or 2.1% and sales of office
and graphic arts products increased $232,000 or 1.8%.
Escalade International accounted for 45% of the sporting goods net sales
increase with the remaining 55% being in domestic operations. The increase in
net sales for the office and graphic arts product segment was in office
products.
Cost of sales was $47,870,000 in the first nine months of 1995 as compared
to $47,187,000 in 1994, an increase of $683,000 or 1.4%.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 79.6% in the first nine
months of 1995 as compared to 80.1% in the first nine months of 1994. This
decrease is due to lower factory expenses mainly in payroll and payroll related
expenses, depreciation, and supplies.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $10,845,000 in the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to $12,229,000 in the first nine months of
1994, a decrease of $1,384,000 or 11.3%.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
were 18.0% in 1995 as compared to 20.7% in 1994. The decrease in these expenses
as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to a reduction in salaries,
marketing development, customer allowances and advertising expenses.

compared to $1,317,000 in the first nine months of 1994, an increase of $499,000
or 37.9%. The increase was due to higher average borrowing levels and increased
interest rates in the first nine months of 1995.

a net loss of $1,050,000 in the first nine months of 1994. The 1995 loss

1994, the notes payable - bank was $29,237,000 and at the end of the first nine
months of 1995, notes payable - bank was $19,000,000.
