As of January 3, 1997, the net sales of the discontinued operation have been
reclassified and are reflected in current assets in the Condensed Consolidated

As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $394,469
($241,029 after tax or $0.04 per share).  The pre-tax loss includes $300,835 of
estimated costs incurred in connection with the disposal of Brookfield, as well
as operating losses of $93,634, incurred by Brookfield subsequent to the
transactions measurement date.

The results of operations of Brookfield for the thirteen weeks and the twenty-
six weeks ended July 4, 1997 have been segregated from continuing operations and
are reported separately as discontinued operations.  Prior year Consolidated
Statements of Earnings for the comparable periods have been restated to present
Brookfield as a discontinued operation.  The following is a summary of
Brookfield's results of operations for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997 and July 5, 1996:

NOTE D - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

During the first quarter of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128).
SFAS 128 is intended to improve the Earnings Per Share ("EPS") information
contained in the financial statements by simplifying the calculation of earnings
per share, revising the disclosure requirements, and achieving comparability
with international accounting standards.  SFAS 128 is effective after December
15, 1997.  The Company will incorporate SFAS 128 into the Form 10-K filing, with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended January 2, 1998.  The
Company has not determined the impact of adopting SFAS 128 on the consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2, 1998.

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 4, 1997 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended July 5, 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's net sales increased to $24,398,000 in the thirteen weeks ended
July 4, 1997 from $24,396,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996.

Net sales of the Company's Saucony products decreased 0.2% to $21,139,000 in the
thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997 from $21,177,000 in the thirteen weeks ended
July 5, 1996, due to decreased unit shipment volume.  Saucony domestic net sales
increased 4% to $16,260,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997 from
$15,688,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996, due to higher selling
prices of the Company's recently introduced products.  Saucony foreign net sales
decreased 11% to $4,879,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997 from
$5,489,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996, due primarily to decreased
unit shipment volume, lower selling prices and to a lesser extent, unfavorable
currency exchange.

Net sales of other products increased 1% to $3,259,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended July 4, 1997 from $3,219,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996, due
to increased sales realized by the Company's retail outlets, increased sales by
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Quintana Roo, Inc. and sales of Hind
apparel, which were offset to some extent by decreased sales of non-corporate
brands realized by the Company's Australian subsidiary.  The Company acquired
trademarks and related intellectual property from Hind, Inc. in December 1996.

Other income decreased 72% to $101,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997
from $355,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996 due to foreign currency
transaction losses, on U.S. dollar denominated obligations held by certain of
the Company's foreign subsidiaries, reduced income due to lower levels of short-
term cash investments, reduced royalty income, the partial writedown of the
Company's investment in a limited partnership and the recognition of a
litigation settlement in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996.

The Company's gross profit increased to $8,550,000 in the thirteen weeks ended
July 4, 1997 from $7,542,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996.  The
Company's gross margin percent increased to 35.0% in the thirteen weeks ended
July 4, 1997 from 30.9% in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996 due primarily
to increased margin for Saucony products.  The gross margin for Saucony products
realized in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996 was significantly lowered by
increased unit volume of slow-moving, non-current models and decreased sales of
lower-margin special makeup footwear.  These factors, and to a lesser extent,
decreased freight costs and reduced manufacturing costs, primarily account for
the gross margin increase for Saucony products realized in the thirteen weeks
ended July 4, 1997.  The gross margin decrease for other products is due to the
liquidation of inventory by the Company's Australian subsidiary as a result of
the termination of exclusive distribution rights of another manufacturer's
sporting goods brand in Australia.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $8,023,000, or 32.9%
of net sales, in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997 from $7,218,000, or 29.6%
of net sales, in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996.  Advertising and
promotion expenses decreased $134,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997
due primarily to decreased Saucony domestic television and print media
advertising, offset in part by increased race promotion.  Selling expenses
increased by $221,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997, due to increased
sales commissions on higher sales of Saucony first quality products, increased
payroll costs, and selling and marketing expenses related to the introduction of
Hind apparel.  General and administrative expenses increased $718,000 in the
thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997, due to increased professional fees relating
to litigation expenses, increased costs related to the Company's upgraded
information system, and administrative costs attributable to the introduction of
Hind apparel.  Foreign administrative costs increased due to increased staffing
at certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

The Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $850,000 ($508,167 after tax or
$0.08 per share), in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997, to reduce the
carrying value of the Company's distribution facility in East Brookfield,
Massachusetts to market.

Interest expense increased 13% to $251,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 4,
1997 from $222,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996 due to increased
borrowings on the Company's credit facility and increased asset-based borrowing.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes declined to ($171,000) in the thirteen
weeks ended July 4, 1997 from $136,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996
due to a decrease in the Company's pre-tax earnings.  The effective tax rate
increased by 6.4% to 36.2% in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1997 from 29.8%
in the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1996.  The increase resulted from a shift in
the composition of foreign and domestic pretax profits.


Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 4, 1997 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 5,
1996

The Company's net sales decreased 6.4% to $49,615,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997 from $53,034,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996.

Net sales of the Company's Saucony products decreased 10% to $42,405,000 in the
twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 from $46,886,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 5, 1996, due to decreased unit shipment volume.  Saucony domestic net
sales decreased 9% to $31,174,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997
from $34,257,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996, due to decreased
unit shipment volume of non-current models and decreased unit volumes of special
makeup models, offset in part by higher selling prices of the Company's recently
introduced products.  Saucony foreign net sales decreased 11% to $11,231,000 in
the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 from $12,629,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 5, 1996, due primarily to decreased unit shipment volume, lower
selling prices and to a lesser extent, unfavorable currency exchange.

Net sales of other products increased 17% to $7,210,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997 from $6,148,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996,
due primarily to increased sales of non-corporate brands realized by the
Company's Australian subsidiary and to a lesser extent increased sales realized
by the Company's retail outlets, increased sales by the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Quintana Roo, Inc. and sales of Hind apparel.  The Company acquired
trademarks and related intellectual property from Hind, Inc. in December 1996.

Other income (expense) decreased 108% to ($50,000) in the twenty-six weeks ended
July 4, 1997 from $594,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996, due to
foreign currency transaction losses on U.S. dollar denominated obligations held
by certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, reduced income due to lower
levels of short-term cash investments, reduced royalty income, the partial
writedown of the Company's investment in a limited partnership and the
recognition of a litigation settlement in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5,
1996.

The Company's gross profit increased to $17,135,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997 from $16,331,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996.
The Company's gross margin percent increased to 34.5% in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997 from 30.8% in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996 due
primarily to increased margin for Saucony products.  The gross margin for
Saucony products realized in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996 was
significantly lowered by increased unit volume of slow-moving, non-current
models and decreased sales of lower-margin special makeup footwear.  These
factors, and to a lesser extent, decreased freight costs and reduced
manufacturing costs, primarily account for the gross margin increase for Saucony
products realized in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997.  The gross margin
decrease for other products is due to the liquidation of inventory by the
Company's Australian subsidiary as a result of the termination of exclusive
distribution rights of another manufacturer's sporting goods brand in Australia.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $15,221,000, or 30.7%
of net sales, in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 from $14,349,000, or
27.0% of net sales, in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996.  Advertising and
promotion expenses decreased $357,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997
due primarily to decreased Saucony domestic television and print media
advertising, decreased product literature, offset in part by increased race
sponsorship.  Selling expenses increased by $185,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997, due to decreased sales commissions on lower sales of
Saucony, offset by increased payroll costs, and selling and marketing expenses
related to the introduction of Hind apparel.  General and administrative
expenses increased $1,044,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997, due to
increased professional fees, both domestic and foreign, increased costs related
to the Company's upgraded information system, increased foreign costs for
payroll due to increased staffing at certain of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries and administrative cost associated with the introduction of Hind
apparel.

The Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $850,000 ($508,167 after tax or
$0.08 per share) in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997, to reduce the
carrying value of the Company's distribution facility in East Brookfield,
Massachusetts to market.

Interest expense increased 4% to $500,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4,
1997 from $479,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996, due to increased
borrowings on the Company's credit facility and increased asset-based borrowing.

The provision for income taxes declined to $211,000 in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997 from $758,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996 due
to a decrease in the Company's pre-tax earnings.  The effective tax rate
increased 5.0% to 41.1% in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 from 36.1% in
the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996.  The increase resulted from a shift in
the composition of foreign and domestic pretax profits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July 4, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,845,000,
an increase of $43,000 from January 3, 1997.  The increase was the result of the
receipt of an initial payment of $6,000,000 from the sale of the net assets of
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Brookfield Athletic Company, Inc., offset
in part by an increase in accounts receivable of $3,552,000, net of the
provision for bad debts and discounts of $2,927,000 and an increase of
$1,581,000 in inventory.  The increase in accounts receivable is due to
increased net sales of the Company's Saucony products in the twenty-six weeks
ended July 4, 1997.  The Company's days sales outstanding for its accounts
receivable decreased to 79 days in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 from
84 days in the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1996.  Inventories increased in
the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 due to the buildup of Hind apparel
inventory.  The Company's inventory turn ratio decreased to 2.6 turns in twenty-
six weeks ended July 4, 1997 from 3.4 turns in the twenty-six weeks ended July
5, 1996, due to comparatively higher inventory levels, including the buildup of
Hind apparel inventory, and the significant inventory reduction realized as the
result of the sale of non-current Saucony models in the twenty-six weeks ended
July 5, 1996.

For the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997, the Company used $2,324,000 of net
cash to finance operating activities, expended $848,000 to acquire capital
assets and information technology, decreased short-term borrowings by $870,000,
and expended $2,223,000 to reduce long-term debt.  Current maturities of long-
term debt increased $1,512,000 in the 26 weeks ended July 4, 1997 due primarily
to the reclassification of a note payable due on January 30, 1998 from long-term
debt.

Principal factors (other than net income, accounts receivable, provision for bad
debts and discounts and inventory) affecting the operating cash flows in the
twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 included the loss of $635,000 from
discontinued operations, the provision of $720,000 for depreciation and
amortization, an increase in prepaid expenses of $554,000 (due to advance
payments of certain advertising and selling expenses) and an increase in accrued
expenses of $283,000 (due to increased advertising, promotional and
administrative spending).  The strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the
twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1997 increased the value of cash and cash
equivalents by $405,000.

As of July 4, 1997, the Company had various commitments for capital
expenditures, including information technology.  The Company plans to finance
such expenditures with a mix of internally generated funds and asset-based
lending.  The Company believes that these commitments are not significant.

The liquidity of the Company is contingent upon a number of factors, principally
the Company's future operating results.  Management believes that the Company's
current cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and internally generated
funds are adequate to meet its working capital requirements and to fund its
capital investment needs and debt service payments.

INFLATION AND CURRENCY RISK

The effect of inflation on the Company's results of operations over the past
three years has been minimal.  The impact of currency fluctuation on the
purchase of inventory by the Company, from foreign suppliers, has been minimal
as the transactions were denominated in U.S. dollars.  The Company, however, is
subject to currency fluctuation with respect to the operating results of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries and certain foreign currency denominated
payables.

FASB 128

During the first quarter of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128).
SFAS 128 is intended to improve the Earnings Per Share ("EPS") information
contained in the financial statements by simplifying the calculation of earnings
per share, revising the disclosure requirements, and achieving comparability
with international accounting standards.  SFAS 128 is effective after December
15, 1997.  The Company will incorporate SFAS 128 into the Form 10-K filing, with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended January 2, 1998.  The
Company has not determined the impact of adopting SFAS 128 on the consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2, 1998.
