NOTE C - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 4, 1997, Brookfield Athletic Company, Inc., ("Brookfield"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company, sold substantially all of the assets used in
the Brookfield business to Brookfield International Inc.  The consideration
payable equals the net asset value of the Brookfield assets as of July 4, 1997
reduced by certain liabilities that were assumed by Brookfield International,
Inc.  The selling price for Brookfield, as amended, was approximately
$6,969,106.  At October 3, 1997, $969,106 was included in accounts receivable as
due from Brookfield International, Inc., which represents the selling price
reduced by an initial payment of $6,000,000, which was received on July 2, 1997.

The summarized balance sheet for the discontinued operations as of January 3,
1997 is as follows:

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 Brookfield sale, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of

Brookfield, agreed reduction to the selling price of $300,000, 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 thirty-
nine weeks ended October 3, 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

NOTE D - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS 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 EPS,
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.

SFAS 130

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130 "Reporting for Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130) in June, 1997.  SFAS
130 defines and establishes the financial accounting and reporting standards for
comprehensive income.  As defined in SFAS 130, comprehensive income encompasses
net income and other components of comprehensive income that are excluded from
net income under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  These previously
excluded components of comprehensive income are limited to the following:
foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments
and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity
securities classified as available-for-sales securities.

SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 1997, with
earlier adoption permitted.  The Company will incorporate SFAS 130 into the Form
10-Q filing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the quarter ended
April 3, 1998.  The Company has not determined the impact of adopting SFAS 130
on the consolidated financial statements.

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 3, 1997 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended October 4,
1996


The Company's net sales increased 19.5% to $24,635,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended October 3, 1997 from $20,609,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4,
1996.

Net sales of the Company's Saucony products increased 20.3% to $20,709,000 in
the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 1997 from $17,214,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended October 4, 1996, primarily due to increased footwear shipment volume.
Saucony domestic net sales increased 31.7% to $14,221,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended October 3, 1997 from $10,796,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4,
1996, primarily due to increased footwear shipment volume.  Saucony foreign net
sales increased 1.1% to $6,488,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 1997
from $6,418,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4, 1996, due primarily to
increased apparel sales, offset in part by decreased footwear shipment volume.

Net sales of other products increased 15.6% to $3,926,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended October 3, 1997 from $3,395,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4,
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 by the Company's Australian subsidiary.  The Company acquired
trademarks and related intellectual property from Hind, Inc. in December 1996.

Other income increased 276% to $314,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 3,
1997 from $83,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4, 1996, due to increased
royalty income, which was offset to some extent by foreign currency transaction
losses on U.S. dollar denominated obligations held by certain of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries.

The Company's gross profit increased 16.8% to $8,422,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended October 3, 1997 from $7,208,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4,
1996.  The Company's gross margin percent decreased to 34.2% in the thirteen
weeks ended October 3, 1997 from 35.0% in the thirteen weeks ended October 4,
1996, due primarily to decreased margin for Saucony products as a result of
increased footwear volume of slow-moving, non-current models and increased sales
of lower-margin special makeup footwear.  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 $7,525,000 or 30.5% of
net sales, in the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 1997 from $6,611,000 or 32.1%
of net sales, in the thirteen weeks ended October 4, 1996.  Advertising and
promotion expenses decreased $58,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 3,
1997, due primarily to decreased Saucony domestic television and print media
advertising and reduced spending by foreign subsidiaries, offset in part by
increased account specific promotions.  Selling expenses increased by $508,000
in the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 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 $464,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended October 3, 1997, due to increased costs related to the Company's upgraded
information system, increased provision for doubtful accounts and administrative
costs attributable to the introduction of Hind apparel.

The Company recorded a charge of $300,000 ($171,832 after tax or $0.02 per
share), in the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 1997, to reflect the agreed upon
Closing Balance Sheet for the assets of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Brookfield Athletic Company, Inc.

Interest expense decreased 8.7% to $165,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October
3, 1997 from $180,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4, 1996, due to
decreased borrowings on the Company's credit facility and paydown of the
Company's senior notes.

The provision for income taxes increased to $418,000 in the thirteen weeks ended
October 3, 1997 from $134,000 in the thirteen weeks ended October 4, 1996, due
to an increase in the Company's pre-tax income from continuing operations.  The
effective tax rate increased by 13.2% to 40.0% in the thirteen weeks ended
October 3, 1997 from 26.8% in the thirteen weeks ended October 4, 1996.  The
increase resulted from a shift in the composition of foreign and domestic pretax
profits.



Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 3, 1997 Compared to Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
October 4, 1996


The Company's net sales increased 0.8% to $74,251,000 in the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 3, 1997 from $73,643,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 4,
1996.

Net sales of the Company's Saucony products decreased 1.5% to $63,115,000 in the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997 from $64,100,000 in the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 4, 1996, due to decreased unit shipment volume in the first
half of 1997 as compared to the first half of 1996.  Saucony domestic net sales
increased 0.8% to $45,396,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997
from $45,053,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 4, 1996, due to higher
selling prices of the Company's recently introduced products.  Saucony foreign
net sales decreased 7.0% to $17,719,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October
3, 1997 from $19,047,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 4, 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 16.7% to $11,136,000 in the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 3, 1997 from $9,543,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 4, 1996, due primarily to the sale of Hind apparel and to a lesser
extent, increased sales realized by the Company's retail outlets and increased
sales by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Quintana Roo, Inc.  The Company
acquired trademarks and related intellectual property from Hind, Inc. in
December 1996.

Other income decreased 61.1% to $263,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October
3, 1997 from $677,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 4, 1996, due to
foreign currency transaction losses on U.S. dollar denominated obligations held
by certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

The Company's gross profit increased 8.6% to $25,557,000 in the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 3, 1997 from $23,539,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 4, 1996.  The Company's gross margin percent increased to 34.4% in the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997 from 32.0% in the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 4, 1996, due primarily to increased margin for Saucony products.
The gross margin for Saucony products realized in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 4, 1996 was significantly lowered by increased unit volume of slow-
moving, non-current models and increased sales of lower-margin special makeup
footwear.  These factors, and to a lesser extent, decreased freight costs and
reduced manufacturing costs in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997
primarily account for the gross margin increase for Saucony products realized in
the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 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 $22,746,000, or 30.6%
of net sales, in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997 from $20,960,000,
or 28.5% of net sales, in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 4, 1996.
Advertising and promotion expenses decreased $415,000 in the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 3, 1997, due primarily to decreased Saucony domestic television
and print media advertising, decreased spending in Europe and decreased product
literature costs, offset in part by increased account specific promotions.
Selling expenses increased by $693,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3,
1997, due to increased Saucony payroll costs and selling and marketing expenses
related to the introduction of Hind apparel.  General and administrative
expenses increased $1,508,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997,
due to increased domestic and foreign professional fees, 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, increased domestic payroll costs and administrative costs
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 thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997, to reduce the
carrying value of the Company's distribution facility in East Brookfield,
Massachusetts to market.   In addition, the Company recorded a non-recurring
charge of $694,469 ($412,861 after tax or $0.07 per share) in the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 3, 1997 in connection with the disposal of the assets of
Brookfield Athletic Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Interest expense increased 0.8% to $665,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 3, 1997 from $660,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 4, 1996,
due to increased borrowings on the Company's credit facility and increased
asset-based borrowing.

The provision for income taxes declined to $629,000 in the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 3, 1997 from $892,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 4,
1996, due to a decrease in the Company's pre-tax income from continuing
operations.  The effective tax rate increased by 6.1% to 40.4% in the thirty-
nine weeks ended October 3, 1997 from 34.3% in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 4, 1996.  The decrease primarily resulted from a shift in the
composition of foreign and domestic pretax profits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of October 3, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled
$5,444,000, an increase of $2,641,000 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., and a decrease of $488,000 in inventory. The increases were
offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable of $3,153,000, net of the
provision for bad debts and discounts of $3,965,000 and the depreciation and
amortization provision of $1,159,000.  The increase in accounts receivable is
due to increased net sales of the Company's Saucony products and Hind products
in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997.  The Company's days sales
outstanding for its accounts receivable decreased to 76 days in the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 3, 1997 from 84 days in the thirty-nine weeks ended October
4, 1996.  Inventories decreased in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997
due to improved inventory planning, offset in part by the buildup of Hind
apparel inventory.  The Company's inventory turn ratio decreased to 2.7 turns in
the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997 from 3.1 turns in the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 4, 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 models in the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 4, 1996.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997, the Company generated $652,000
of net cash from operating activities, expended $1,027,000 to acquire capital
assets and information technology, decreased short-term borrowings by
$1,150,000, and expended $2,382,000 to reduce long-term debt.  Current
maturities of long-term debt increased $1,415,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 3, 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
thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1997 included the loss of $807,000 from
discontinued operations, an increase in prepaid expenses of $471,000 (due to
advance payments of certain advertising and selling expenses) and a decrease in
accounts payable of $582,000 (due to the timing of inventory purchases).  The
strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3,
1997 increased the value of cash and cash equivalents by $545,000.

As of October 3, 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 U.S. dollar denominated obligations held by
certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

SFAS 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 EPS,
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.

SFAS 130

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130 "Reporting for Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130) in June, 1997.  SFAS
130 defines and establishes the financial accounting and reporting standards for
comprehensive income.  As defined in SFAS 130, comprehensive income encompasses
net income and other components of comprehensive income that are excluded from
net income under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  These previously
excluded components of comprehensive income are limited to the following:
foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments
and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity
securities classified as available-for-sales securities.

SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 1997, with
earlier adoption permitted.  The Company will incorporate SFAS 130 into the Form
10-Q filing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the quarter ended
April 3, 1998.  The Company has not determined the impact of adopting SFAS 130
on the consolidated financial statements.
