ITEM 1.   BUSINESS.

DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

        Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc. ("Oshman's" or the
"Company"), which operates a chain of retail sporting goods
specialty stores, primarily in the Sun Belt, was incorporated in
1946 as the successor to a proprietorship founded by J. S. Oshman
in 1931.  Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms
"Oshman's" and the "Company" as used herein include the Company and
its subsidiaries, whether operating under the name "Oshman's,"
"SuperSports USA" or "Honsport."    

        Oshman's offers a full line of sporting goods equipment,
sportswear and athletic footwear in medium to higher price ranges. 
Nationally advertised brand name products are featured, along with
the Company's own labels in certain categories.  Sales of
sportswear represented approximately 31-32% and footwear accounted
for approximately 16-17% of net retail sales during the last three
fiscal years.  The remaining approximately 51-53% of the net retail
sales during these years was attributable to sporting goods
equipment.  Net retail sales contributed 97% of the Company's total
net sales and 100% of its loss before income taxes for the fiscal
year ended January 29, 1994.  The Company has determined, pursuant
to the provisions of Statement 14 of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, that its business constitutes a single reportable
industry segment.

        Oshman's retail stores are located primarily in major
regional or suburban shopping centers, shopping malls and suburban
shopping districts.  The Company believes that its extensive
promotional policies enable it to operate stores successfully in a
variety of shopping environments.  The Company's Texas stores and
California stores accounted for approximately 37% and 27%,
respectively, of consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended
January 29, 1994. 

        Through the establishment of new stores and the acquisition
of existing stores, Oshman's has expanded from 11 retail stores in
1970 to 161 stores at January 29, 1994, 146 of which were Oshman's
stores, 10 of which were SuperSports USA stores (including eight
megastores, as described below) and five of which were Honsport
stores.  Changes in the number of stores during the last five
fiscal years are summarized below:

<PAGE>

        Oshman's opened the first version of its SuperSports USA
store during the fiscal year ended January 30, 1988 in Princeton,
New Jersey and was operating five of these stores by February 1990. 
The SuperSports USA stores offer a broad selection of sporting and
related goods in an expanded sales floor space with updated store
appointments.  The SuperSports USA concept was originally developed
to compete as a high-volume, low-price retailer.  Although the
stores quickly achieved high sales volumes, the administrative
personnel necessary to oversee the different style of operation and
the reduced profit margins achieved by the everyday low-price
format made the stores inefficient.  In 1990, the Company changed
the format of the SuperSports USA operations to closely resemble
the traditional Oshman's stores.  In March 1990, the Company
further modified the SuperSports USA concept with the opening of a
78,000 square foot megastore which included several areas for
customers to try out sports equipment.  Customer response to the
first megastore was excellent and sales exceeded the Company's
expectations.  A second megastore opened in November 1990 was also
very successful, and in fiscal years 1992 and 1993 a total of six
additional megastores were opened.

        Oshman's traditional stores, which include two of the five
original concept SuperSports USA stores, range from approximately
3,600 to 32,000 square feet, while the SuperSports USA megastores
contain approximately 41,000 to 80,000 square feet.

        Early in 1993, the Board of Directors approved a five-year
plan that, subject to available financing and continued acceptable
performance, designates the megastores as the Company's principal
growth vehicle.  Current plans call for opening 51 megastores
during the five-year period ending January 30, 1999, including two
new stores and the conversion of a traditional store to a
SuperSports USA megastore in 1994.  In December 1993, the Board of
Directors approved a plan to close 57 traditional stores during
such five-year period and to accelerate the closing of 34
underperforming stores over the next two years in order for the
Company to more aggressively redeploy its assets to the more
profitable megastore strategy.  Oshman's megastores cost more to
build and fixture and more to operate than those of its large-store
competitors.  A significant amount of the capital differential has
been contributed by developers who consider these stores an
attraction for shopping centers attempting to differentiate
themselves from their competition.  The higher operating costs have
been more than offset by a more profitable sales mix and a higher
sales level.  Although the eight megastores represent only 5.0% of
Oshman's total stores, they were responsible for 21.6% of store
sales and 35.7% of total direct store contributions during the
fiscal year ended January 29, 1994.

        The following table is included to highlight the current
contribution of SuperSports USA megastores relative to Oshman's
traditional stores and to demonstrate the significance of Oshman's
plans for opening 51 megastores in the five years, 1994-1998.

COMPETITION

        Oshman's competes with a number of other specialty sporting
goods chains, including large-format retailers that provide a broad
selection of inventory at every-day low prices, but believes that,
in terms of sales and number of stores, it is one of the largest
specialty retailers of sporting goods in the United States. 
Oshman's also competes with diversified retail establishments, such
as department, discount, drug and other stores carrying sporting
goods and equipment or sports and leisure apparel.  Many of these
non-specialty retailers are part of organizations considerably
larger than Oshman's in terms of overall sales and financial
resources, and some of these organizations have larger sporting
goods volume as well.  Compe-tition is based on a number of
factors, including price, quality and variety of goods offered,
location of stores and quality of service.  

        In recent years, competition has intensified in key market
areas of the Company, particularly with the opening of a number of
new sporting goods stores offering large quantities and broad
selections of sporting goods equipment and related merchandise at
competitive prices.  These large-format retailers are reshaping the
retail sporting goods market and Oshman's expects them to continue
to expand aggressively and seek to increase their market share,
while competition from traditional chain-store operations may
diminish.  Where appropriate, Oshman's will continue to operate
traditional stores, but, as noted above, the predominant number of
new store openings will be SuperSports USA megastores.  Oshman's
experienced 13.2% same store sales increases in megastores and 6.0%
same store sales decreases in traditional stores during the fiscal
year ended January 29, 1994.  

SEASONAL FACTORS

        Oshman's business is highly seasonal.  Retail sales reach
their peak in December due to holiday shopping and the purchase of
ski equipment.  Weather conditions add to the seasonal nature of
the business.  For instance, in fiscal 1993, although sales of non-
ski merchandise increased in the fourth quarter, ski equipment
sales decreased sharply as a result of light snowfall and poor
skiing conditions, and, as a result, overall retail sales declined
during the quarter.  In contrast, good snow ski conditions during
the prior year had increased winter sales. 

        Retail sales also increase in May and June in connection
with Oshman's annual Once-A-Year Sale, while institutional sales
are at their heaviest in August and September with the commencement
of the traditional school year and football season.

SUPPLIERS AND INVENTORY; CUSTOMERS

        Oshman's purchases most of its merchandise on a centralized
basis from its Houston, Texas offices directly from manufacturers
and their representatives, both in the United States and overseas
(principally the Far East).  Inventory is stored at its warehouses
in Houston, Texas; Santa Ana, California; and Honolulu, Hawaii. 
Oshman's has no significant long-term contract with any supplier;
the merchandise sold by the Company is available from several
manufacturers, and no single supplier accounted for more than 10%
of the Company's total pur-chases during the fiscal year ended
January 29, 1994.

TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS; OTHER BUSINESS

        As of January 29, 1994, Oshman's owned approximately 38
trademarks and service marks that were employed in its advertising
and operations.  The Company believes that its marks are, in the
aggregate, materially important in its business and that the
"Oshman's" marks are individually material.  The Company
anticipates that it will continue to own each of its trademarks and
service marks for so long as it finds it beneficial to use them in
connection with its operations.  

        Oshman's sells sporting goods and equipment to certain
institutional customers, including scholastic, industrial, amateur
and professional teams and has limited export sales which are made
through written request.  Neither area is material to its business. 
Oshman's has also entered into certain licensing arrangements
relating to the use of its name and trademarks in Japan and Mexico,
however the Mexican licensee has discontinued operating retail
stores.  These arrangements are not material to the Company's
business.  


MISCELLANEOUS

        Oshman's typically satisfies its working capital needs out
of internally generated funds from current operations and its
credit facilities as addressed in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, below.

        Oshman's is a retailer and backlog is not relevant to its
business.  Oshman's does not have contracts subject to
renegotiation or termination and does not carry on any material
amount of research and development activities.

        Federal, state, and local environmental regulations have
not had, and are not expected to have, any material effect upon the
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.

        As of January 29, 1994, Oshman's employed approximately
3,200 people including part-time employees.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES.

        Oshman's general and executive offices are located at 2302
Maxwell Lane, Houston, Texas and consist of approximately 79,000
square feet of leased space in a well maintained brick and steel
building.  A Houston warehouse and distribution center occupies
approximately 257,000 square feet of leased space in the same
building complex.  The Company rents an office/warehouse in Santa
Ana, California, in which approximately 7,000 square feet are
devoted to office space and 151,000 square feet are used as
warehouse space.  Additionally, the Company leases 14,000 square
feet of warehouse and office space in Honolulu, Hawaii.  

        Oshman's owns the following properties: an 83,000 square
foot building on approximately six acres in Houston, Texas housing
a second distribution center; a 56,500 square foot building on 2.7
acres in Millbrae, California, of which 14,000 square feet are
utilized for a retail store and the remaining 42,500 square feet
are leased to an unrelated party; a 16,000 square foot building on
1.4 acres in Mountain View, California, of which 11,500 square feet
are utilized for a retail store and the remaining 4,500 square feet
are leased to an unrelated party; a 10,000 square foot building on
approximately one acre in Los Angeles, California which is utilized
for a retail store; and a 27,500 square foot building on 1.8 acres
in San Antonio, Texas of which 20,000 square feet are utilized for
a retail store and the remaining 7,500 square feet are leased to an
unrelated party.  

        Substantially all of Oshman's retail stores occupy leased
space in modern structures.  As of the end of the last fiscal year,
these retail stores occupied an aggregate of approximately
2,198,000 square feet of floor space under leases expiring at
various dates from 1994 to 2017 (exclusive of renewal options). 
Traditional stores on average are comprised of approximately 11,400
square feet, while the average megastore occupies approximately
63,000 square feet.  

The four traditional stores in locations owned by Oshman's
aggregate approximately 50,000 square feet of floor space.

        Aggregate rentals paid by the Company under all its leases
amounted to approximately $16,447,000 during the fiscal year ended
January 29, 1994.  Most store leases provide for rentals which are
the greater of a fixed minimum or a specified percentage of sales. 
Oshman's owns the fixtures in its retail stores and considers all
property owned or leased to be well maintained, adequately insured
and suitable for its purposes.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

        The Company is subject to certain pending legal
proceedings, most of which are ordinary and routine litigation
incidental to its business.  None of such legal proceedings, in the
opinion of the Company, is material to its business or financial
condition.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

        Oshman's did not submit any matters to a vote of security
holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January
29, 1994.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

        During the year ended January 29, 1994, ("fiscal 1993"),
Oshman's continued to reposition itself within the competitive
sporting goods market toward its goal of becoming primarily a
megastore sporting goods operator.  In addition to opening three
new stores, two of which were SuperSports USA megastores, the
Company converted one of its traditional stores into a megastore
and closed 12 traditional stores.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal
1993, the Company announced a plan to accelerate the closing of 34
underperforming stores over the next two years in order for the
Company to redeploy more aggressively its assets toward the more
profitable megastore format.

        Oshman's business is subject to substantial seasonal
variation and may also be impacted by regional and national
economic and weather conditions.  Favorable snow ski conditions
during the year ended January 30, 1993 ("fiscal 1992"), for
instance, benefitted the Company, while unfavorable ski and
economic conditions negatively impacted results during fiscal 1993. 
In addition, results of operations during the past three years have
been influenced by certain nonrecurring items which affect the
comparison of one year's results to another.

NON-RECURRING ITEMS

        On December 27, 1993, the Company announced a restructuring
plan to accelerate the closing of 34 underperforming traditional
stores over the next two years, two of which were closed in January
1994, and that it would record a $15,000,000 pre-tax restructuring
charge against fiscal 1993 fourth quarter earnings.  The
significant components of the charge, which will negatively affect
future cash flows of the Company, are (i) estimated future
operating losses totaling approximately $3,360,000, before
depreciation, (ii) $3,650,000 for estimated lease termination
costs, (iii) $3,050,000 for markdowns related to the liquidation of
merchandise inventories and (iv) approximately $1,100,000 for
severance pay and various other store closing costs.  In addition,
the Company expects to incur non-cash flow charges of approximately
$3,500,000 in connection with the disposition of fixed assets. 
These 34 stores as a group incurred direct store losses of almost
$3,000,000 in fiscal 1993.  Management believes the Company will be
better served by redeploying the assets invested in these stores
toward the more profitable megastore strategy, thereby accelerating
its transformation into a megastore sporting goods operator.

        In the third quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company changed its
method of valuing its merchandise inventories from the last-in, first-out
method (LIFO) to the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) in order
to better measure the current value of such merchandise inventories
and the financial position of the Company.  This change was applied
retroactively and at the beginning of fiscal year 1993 had the
effect of increasing merchandise inventories by $10,896,000 and
retained earnings by $6,911,000, net of income taxes. Accordingly,
all prior year amounts affected by this accounting change
have been restated primarily earnings, inventories, income tax
liabilities and expense, retained earnings and costs of goods sold.

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1990, Oshman's began
implementing a corporate restructuring to eliminate duplicate
merchandising and administrative functions.  The merchandising and
administrative functions of the California division were relocated
to Houston, Texas and combined with the Central division operation
in an effort to reduce combined operating expenses by approximately
$2,000,000 annually on a continuing basis.  During fiscal 1992,
payroll and related expenses for the merchandising and administrative
areas of the Company were more than $2,300,000 less than fiscal
1990 levels.  In fiscal 1993, these expenses were further reduced
by $500,000 from the 1992 levels.  In fiscal 1990, Oshman's recorded
a one-time charge of $1,966,000, which included severances, employee
relocations, fixed asset abandonment losses and costs related to
converting separate divisional merchandise information systems to
a single system located in Houston.

        In December 1987, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires deferred income taxes
to be determined based on the enacted income tax rates for the
years in which these taxes will be payable or refundable.  The
Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of the year ended
February 1, 1992 ("fiscal 1991"), and the cumulative effect for the
years prior to February 2, 1991 was to decrease deferred income
taxes and provide a one time credit to net earnings in the amount
of $2,150,000.  In February 1992, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 109
(SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The Company adopted
this standard in fiscal 1993, and the impact was immaterial to the
Company's financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        During fiscal 1993, net cash of $4,406,000 was used in
operating activities.  The primary causes for the net use of cash
were (i) a pretax loss of $4,587,000 before depreciation,
amortization and the $15,000,000 restructuring charge and (ii) a
$2,622,000 decrease in accounts payable, offset by cash provided by
a reduction in merchandise inventories of $4,634,000.  Cash used by
investing activities was $3,035,000, which related primarily to the
net purchase of property, plant and equipment of $4,497,000, after
reduction for landlord-provided construction funds of $1,576,000,
offset by proceeds of $1,284,000 from the sale of real estate and
leasehold interests.  Financing activities provided net cash of
$2,042,000 due to the Company's utilization of its credit facility
at the end of the year in the amount of $1,985,000 and the addition
of a five-year mortgage note for $855,000 in the third quarter of
1993 in connection with the purchase of real estate where one of
the Company's stores was under lease.  Cash of $765,000 was used
for payment of scheduled long-term debt and the prepayment of
mortgage debt in relation to the sale of real estate.

        In fiscal 1992, operating activities provided a net cash
increase of $3,906,000.  The primary sources of the net cash
increase from operating activities were pretax profits before 
depreciation and amortization of $5,011,000 and a decrease in
prepaid expenses and other of $2,900,000, related primarily to the
realization of a Federal income tax refund.  These items were
offset by an increase in merchandise inventories of $7,200,000
reduced by a related increase in trade accounts payable of
$3,643,000.  Cash used by investing activities was $2,021,000,
including net purchase of property, plant and equipment totaling
$2,876,000 after reduction for landlord-provided construction funds
of $2,817,000.  Financing activities used cash of $7,724,000 for
payment of scheduled long-term debt installments, costs associated
with the acquisition of a new revolving credit facility and
prepayment of certain long-term debt obligations, discussed below.

        Operating activities in fiscal 1991 provided a net cash
increase of $10,133,000.  The primary source of the net cash
increase from operating activities was a reduction in merchandise
inventories of $12,739,000, offset by a related decrease in trade
accounts payable of $2,669,000.  Cash used by investing activities
was $2,604,000, including net purchase of property, plant and
equipment totaling $2,784,000 after reduction for landlord-provided
construction funds of $1,141,000.  Financing activities used cash
of $3,720,000 for payment of scheduled long-term debt installments.

        As discussed above, the Company converted to the FIFO
inventory method of accounting for its merchandise inventories in
fiscal 1993.  Fiscal year-end inventories, on a FIFO basis, were
$88,699,000 for 1993, $93,333,000 for 1992 and $86,133,000 for
1991.  The Company began reducing its inventory levels in fiscal
1990 to improve turnover through utilization of its new merchandise
information systems.  In fiscal 1992, as sales began to increase,
and as a result of opening five new stores, three of which were
megastores, inventory levels were increased.  In fiscal 1993, as a
result of the Company's efforts to continue to improve its
inventory management and in consideration of declining sales
trends, inventories were reduced.

        Additions to property, plant and equipment in fiscal 1993,
fiscal 1992 and fiscal 1991 were $4,497,000, $2,876,000 and
$3,242,000 (including a capital lease), respectively.  In fiscal
1993, the Company opened three new stores, two of which were
SuperSports USA megastores, and converted an existing traditional
store to a SuperSports USA megastore.  The net expenditure relating
to the opening of these new stores and the conversion of the
existing store, over and above developer funding, totaled
approximately $1,067,000.  Approximately $1,736,000 was spent to
renovate and refurbish existing locations and for other uses and
$953,000 was used for the purchase of real estate where one of the
Company's retail stores was under lease.  Five stores, including
three new SuperSports USA megastores, were opened during fiscal
1992, the construction of and appointments for which were
substantially funded by developers.  Approximately $1,676,000 was
spent to renovate and refurbish existing locations, and $750,000
was used in the exercise of an advantageous option to purchase real
estate where one of the Company's stores was under lease.  Two new
stores were opened in fiscal 1991, the construction of and
appointments for which were totally funded by developers, and
approximately $2,042,000 was used in the renovation and
refurbishment of existing locations.  Additions of approximately
$687,000 in fiscal 1993, $450,000 in fiscal 1992 and $1,200,000 in 
fiscal 1991 related to the acquisition of computer hardware and
software, including the continued development of the Company's
merchandise information systems.

        One of the principal sources of the Company's liquidity has
been its lines of credit.  On August 31, 1992, the Company entered
into an agreement providing for a three-year, $32,500,000 revolving
credit facility with The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc.  Advances
under the facility are based on a borrowing base formula, and
subject to certain loan reserves.  The facility is secured
primarily by inventory, accounts receivable and real estate.  The
financing agreement includes various restrictions, requirements and
financial covenants.  Advances under the credit facility bear
interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% and any unused borrowing
capacity is subject to a line of credit fee of .5%.  The Company
drew upon the credit facility on September 1, 1992 in an initial
amount of approximately $15,213,000 to prepay, without prepayment
penalty, its existing unsecured promissory notes due December 31,
1993 and October 1, 1995 in the aggregate principal amount of
$6,250,000 and to satisfy its working capital needs.

        The Company's financing agreement was amended in December
1993 to increase the revolving line of credit from $32,500,000 to
$40,000,000.  The agreement has been amended several other times as
well, primarily to modify the financial covenants contained
therein.  The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants
of the financing agreement.

        At the end of fiscal 1993, borrowings outstanding against
the Company's credit facility were $1,985,000.  There were no
borrowings outstanding against the Company's credit facilities in
effect at the end of fiscal 1992 or fiscal 1991.  The Company had
outstanding letters of credit (used primarily to purchase certain
of the Company's imported inventory) totaling $3,439,000 at the end
of fiscal 1993, $3,092,000 at the end of fiscal 1992 and $5,195,000
at the end of fiscal 1991.

        The Company's primary source of liquidity in fiscal 1993
was the use of its credit facility under which average borrowings
were $13,781,000.  The Company's primary sources of liquidity in
fiscal 1992 and 1991 were cash provided by operating activities of
$3,906,000 and $10,133,000, respectively, and the Company's use of
its lines of credit under which average borrowings were $7,884,000
in fiscal 1992 and $4,916,000 in fiscal 1991.  Average borrowings
increased in fiscal 1993, primarily as a result of the Company's
reduced levels of cash provided by operations.  Average borrowings
in 1992 increased from fiscal 1991, primarily because of the
Company's prepayment of certain of its long-term debt, as discussed
above.  Because of the seasonal nature of its business and the
build up in inventory for the Christmas season, the highest amount
of borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the Company's
credit facility and lines of credit typically is in November and
was $30,489,000 at November 12, 1993, $25,652,000 at November 13,
1992 and $19,857,000 at November 27, 1991.

        Capital expenditures in fiscal 1994 are expected to be
approximately $4,600,000.  Approximately $1,950,000 will be
allocated to renovations of existing locations and to other uses. 
The Company plans to open three SuperSports USA megastores in
fiscal 1994 at a net capital cost of approximately $1,250,000. 
Additionally, approximately $1,400,000 will be used for point of sale
systems and computer hardware and software.  During fiscal 1993,
the Company closed 12 marginally performing stores, 10 of which
had direct store losses, thereby eliminating their working capital
requirements and overhead costs.  In fiscal 1994, the Company
expects to close approximately 26 stores, 16 of which are part of
the restructure discussed above and the costs of which will be
charged against the restructure reserve provided in fiscal 1993. 
In fiscal 1994, the Company estimates that the stores included in
the restructure will require cash of approximately $7-8 million to
cover the operating losses of the stores in operation during the
year, plus the lease termination costs, liquidation markdowns and
other closing costs associated with the 16 stores expected to close
in 1994.  The remainder of the closures in fiscal 1994 are expected
to occur in the normal course of business as leases expire; the
Company does not anticipate any unusual material costs or capital
requirements in connection with these closures.  The Company
anticipates being able to satisfy its capital needs during fiscal
1994 from internally generated funds and the use of its credit
facility.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Sales for fiscal 1993 decreased 1.7% to $307,935,000 from
$313,253,000 in fiscal 1992.  Sales for fiscal 1992 increased 5.2%
to $313,253,000 from $297,829,000 in fiscal 1991.  Same store sales
increases (decreases) for the last three fiscal years were (4.2%)
in fiscal 1993, 1.7% in fiscal 1992 and (6.4%) in fiscal 1991.

        The sales decline in fiscal 1993 was largely due to lost
sales in California resulting primarily from the declining economic
environment, poor snow-ski conditions and disruptions caused by the
natural disasters that occurred in the state.  Sales also declined
in Florida as a result of a substantial reduction in advertising
expenditures that had been increased to combat large-format
competitors during fiscal 1992.  A substantial number of the
Company's Florida stores will be closed during the next two years
pursuant to the restructure plan.  In addition, competition from
large-format sporting goods retailers continued to negatively
impact the Company's smaller traditional stores.

        During the quarter ended July 31, 1993, the Company changed
its method of determining same store sales results.  Previously, a
store's sales had been included in same store sales after its
twelfth full month of operation.  To prevent distortions of same
store sales results caused by the relatively high sales levels
associated with the grand opening promotions of its SuperSports USA
megastores, the Company redefined same store sales to include only
those stores that have been open for a full 12 months as of the
beginning of the current fiscal year.

        Even though the Company experienced an overall same store
sales decrease in fiscal 1993, the SuperSports USA megastores
experienced a same store sales increase of 13.2%, while total sales
from all megastores (including two new stores) open at the end of
the year increased 57.5% to $64,616,000.  Same store sales from
stores to be closed pursuant to the restructure plan declined 10.9%
from fiscal 1992.

        Even though the Company experienced a same store sales
increase in fiscal 1992, the increase in total sales was primarily
due to the five new stores, including three SuperSports USA
megastores, opened during the year.  These five new stores were
responsible for a sales contribution of approximately $21,270,000,
part of which was offset by lost sales of about $9,600,000
attributable to the closing of 18 traditional stores during the
year.  The principal factor in the Company's same store sales
decline during fiscal 1991 was a severe out-of-stock situation that
occurred in key items due to buying disruptions during the
corporate restructuring. The impact was felt mostly by the stores
in the western United States, although other stores were also
affected.  Weak economic conditions, particularly in California,
together with the Persian Gulf war and continuing strong
competitive pressures also contributed significantly to the
decline.  Additionally, the Company closed eight stores while
opening only two traditional stores in fiscal 1991.  During fiscal
1992, the Company was able to recover some of the sales volume lost
in fiscal 1991 due to the disruptions caused by the corporate
restructure and the Persian Gulf war.  The weak economy in
California, however, continued to negatively impact overall
results.

        Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for fiscal
years 1993, 1992 and 1991 was 66.7%, 64.0% and 64.0%, respectively. 
The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales in
fiscal 1993 was due primarily to increased price reductions and
promotional markdowns.

        In fiscal 1993, the Company aggressively pursued
competitive pricing, which did not produce sufficient sales
increases to cover the increased cost of goods sold as a percentage
of sales.  In fiscal 1994, the Company does not plan to continue
this strategy and therefore expects to reduce cost of goods sold as
a percentage of sales.

        Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales was 36.7%, 36.3% and 37.6% for the fiscal years 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively.  The slightly increased rate as a
percentage of sales in fiscal 1993 was primarily related to reduced
same store sales and the resulting effect on relatively fixed
costs.  The reduced rate of selling and administrative expenses in
fiscal 1992 was largely attributable to the increased level of
sales, savings realized as a result of the corporate restructuring
and the Company's continuing effort to control expenses.  In fiscal
1993, occupancy costs increased to 8.6% as a percentage of sales
from 8.3% in each of the previous two fiscal years.  Advertising
costs were 5.2% as a percentage of sales in fiscal 1993 and fiscal
1992 compared to 4.8% in fiscal 1991.  The increased rates of
advertising costs in both fiscal 1993 and 1992 were due to a more
aggressive promotional program.  In fiscal 1993, payroll and
related taxes and benefit costs decreased .4% as a percentage of
sales from the prior year levels.  This decrease of approximately
$2,100,000 from fiscal 1992 levels resulted primarily from a net
reduction of selling payrolls in existing and closed stores, offset
by payrolls in new stores.  In fiscal 1992, payroll and related
taxes and benefit costs decreased approximately $400,000 from 1991
levels, which had been reduced more than $3,300,000 from fiscal
1990 amounts, and, as a percentage of sales, were a full percentage
point lower than in the prior year.  The modest overall expense
reduction was achieved through expense reductions in the
administrative areas and closed stores, thereby offsetting
increased payroll and related costs in new and existing stores. 
Approximately 60% of the $3,300,000 expense reduction in fiscal
1991 occurred in stores and distribution centers; the balance of
the reduction related to savings in administrative areas, primarily
in the latter part of the year, reflecting partially the benefit of
the corporate restructuring.

        Interest expense for fiscal years 1993, 1992 and 1991 was
$1,427,000, $1,085,000 and $1,555,000, respectively.  The increased
expense in fiscal 1993 was a result of the Company's increased
average borrowing during the year.  The reduction in interest
expense in fiscal 1992 related to reduced long-term debt caused by
scheduled principal payments during the first seven months of the
year and by the replacement of the long-term debt with proceeds of
the Company's new credit facility (as discussed above) at lower
interest rates.

        The major components of miscellaneous (income) expense are
set out in the table below:

</TABLE>

        The income tax (benefit) rates for fiscal years 1993, 1992
and 1991 were (24.2%), (40.0%) and (35.9%), respectively.  The
decreased benefit rate in fiscal 1993 was the result of the
Company's inability to fully recognize the tax benefits of net
operating losses and future deductible temporary differences in the
calculation of its tax expense under SFAS 109.  However, these
amounts will be available to reduce future tax liabilities in years
in which the Company has taxable earnings.  The variance in the
rate in fiscal 1992 was caused by the effects of state income taxes
and income tax credits.

        In fiscal 1993, the Company's net loss was $19,494,000. 
Before income tax benefit and the $15,000,000 charge related to the
Company's restructure (discussed above), the Company incurred a
loss of $10,731,000 compared to a pre-tax loss of $1,131,000 in
fiscal 1992.  The increase in the loss before income tax benefit
and the restructuring charge was primarily attributable to a
$10,220,000 decrease in gross profit which was somewhat offset by
a slight reduction in selling and administrative expenses.  The
reduction of gross profit was caused by a sales decline of
$5,318,000 compared to fiscal 1992 and the increased rate of cost
of goods sold as a percentage of sales in fiscal 1993 as discussed
above.  The Company also recorded a charge of $500,000 for damages
suffered during the California earthquake in January 1994.

        In fiscal 1992, the Company reduced its net loss from
$1,900,000 ($4,050,000 before cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle) in fiscal 1991 to $679,000.  This improvement
was primarily the result of the gross profit contribution from
increased sales in new and existing stores.  Additionally, except
for occupancy costs which increased proportionally with sales and
increased advertising expense, selling and administrative expenses
were reduced by more than $1,000,000 from their 1991 levels.
Reduced interest expense and an increase in miscellaneous income
further contributed to the improved results in fiscal 1992.

        Although revenues will continue to be influenced by
economic conditions and the competitive environment, the Company
believes that, as it repositions itself towards becoming primarily
a megastore operator, improved sales and earnings results from its
megastores, together with reductions in the number of marginally
performing traditional stores (which are more susceptible to the
effects of competitive pressures from other large-format sporting
goods retailers), will enable it to provide positive operating cash
flows and also to overcome the effects of any future inflation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc.


      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of Oshman's Sporting  Goods, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and
Subsidiaries as of January 29, 1994 and January 30, 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended January 29, 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of January 29, 1994 and January 30, 1993, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January
29, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

      We have also audited Schedules V, VI, VIII, IX and X of
Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc. and Subsidiaries for each of the
three years in the period ended January 29, 1994.  In our opinion,
these schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be set forth therein.

        As discussed in note A4, the Company retroactively changed
its method of accounting for inventory.

                OSHMAN'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       January 29, 1994, January 30, 1993 and February 1, 1992


NOTE A - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL BUSINESS
- ----------------

   Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc. (the Company) operates a chain of
   retail sporting goods specialty stores, primarily in the
   Southwestern, Western, and Southern United States.  The Texas and
   California stores accounted for approximately 37% and 27%,
   respectively, of sales for the year ended January 29, 1994.  The
   majority of the Company's sales are either cash or through major
   national credit cards.

   1.   FISCAL YEAR
        -----------

   The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the
end of January.  Fiscal years 1993 (52 weeks), 1992 (52 weeks), and
1991 (52 weeks) ended on January 29, 1994, January 30, 1993,  and
February 1, 1992, respectively.

   2.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
        ---------------------------

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all wholly-
owned.  In consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.

   3.   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
        -------------------------

   The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

   Equivalents of $3,002,000 at the end of 1992 consist of short-
term, interest bearing deposits and securities stated at cost,
which approximates market.  These equivalents include securities
purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase
agreements), which result from transactions that are collateralized
by negotiable securities.  At the end of 1992, the Company had
agreements outstanding to resell securities in the amount of
$3,002,000 with maturity dates of less than four days.  There were
no equivalents in 1993.

   4.   MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES
        -----------------------

   Merchandise inventories are valued principally by the retail
method and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-
in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or market.  During the year ended
January 29, 1994, the Company changed its method of valuing its
inventory to the FIFO method from the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method in order to better measure the current value of such
inventories and the financial position of the Company.

              OSHMAN'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
        January 29, 1994, January 30, 1993 and February 1, 1992

NOTE A - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTINUED

The effect of this change was to decrease the net loss by
approximately $4,600,000 ($0.79 per share) in 1993, primarily due
to increased realization of tax benefits.  The financial statements
of 1992 have been retroactively restated increasing the previously
reported net loss by $479,000 ($.08 per share).  The financial
statements for 1991 have also been retroactively restated for the
change, resulting in an increase of the loss before cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle by $12,000 (no earnings
per share effect) and decrease of the net loss by $950,000 ($.16
per share).

   5.   PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
        -----------------------------

   Depreciation and amortization are provided principally by the
straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of 3 to 10
years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, 3 to 30 years for
leasehold improvements and 20 to 40 years for buildings.  Estimated
useful lives of leasehold improvements represent the remaining term
of the lease in effect at the time the improvements are made.

   6.   AMORTIZATION OF OTHER ASSETS
        ----------------------------

   Amortization is computed using the straight-line method.  Excess
of cost over net assets of a business acquired is being amortized
over 40 years.  Loan acquisition costs are being amortized over the
term of the related debt.

   7.   INCOME TAXES
        ------------

   Provision has been made for deferred income taxes applicable to
the temporary differences between earnings for financial reporting
purposes and taxable income.  Principal temporary differences
include differences in accounting for depreciation and
capitalization of certain inventory costs.  Income tax credits are
accounted for by the flow-through method, which recognizes the
credits as reductions of income tax expense in the year utilized.

   8.   PRE-OPENING COSTS
        -----------------

   Costs (other than property, plant and equipment) associated with
the opening of new stores under 25,000 square feet are charged to
expense as incurred.  Pre-opening costs of stores larger than
25,000 square feet are deferred and amortized over a one-year
period subsequent to the store opening.

   9.   RECLASSIFICATIONS
        -----------------

   Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1991 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 1993 financial statement
presentation.

</TABLE>

   On August 31, 1992, the Company entered into an agreement
providing for a three-year, $32,500,000 revolving credit facility. 
Advances under the facility are based on a borrowing base formula
and subject to certain loan reserves, and the facility is secured
primarily by inventory, accounts receivable and real estate.   The
credit agreement includes various requirements, financial covenants
and restrictions, including a restriction on the payment of
dividends.  Advances under the credit facility bear interest at the
prime rate (6% at January 29, 1994) plus 1.5% and any unused
borrowing capacity is subject to a line of credit fee of .5%. 
Advances outstanding at January 29, 1994 amounted to $1,985,000. 
Effective April 30, 1993, the credit facility was amended to
increase the revolving line of credit from $32,500,000 to
$38,500,000 for the month of November 1993 and to amend certain
financial covenants for the fiscal year 1993.  Additionally, on
October 29,1993 the credit facility was amended to permit the
change in method of valuing inventories and certain financial
covenants for the period ended October 30, 1993.  During the fourth
quarter in 1993, the facility was also amended to increase the
revolving line of credit to $40,000,000 and to modify the financial
covenants to accommodate the Company's restructuring plan.

   On September 1, 1992, amounts advanced under the revolving
credit facility were used to  prepay, without penalty, $6,250,000
of unsecured promissory notes payable.

   At the end of 1993 and 1992, outstanding letters of credit were
$3,439,000 and $3,092,000, respectively.

NOTE E - INCOME TAXES

   During the first quarter of 1991, the Company changed its method
of accounting for income taxes to conform to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 96, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Under
SFAS No. 96, deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the tax
effect, based on current law, of future deductible or taxable
amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in the
financial statements.

   The cumulative effect of this accounting change on the years
ending February 2, 1991 and prior was to reduce the net loss by
$2,150,000 ($.37 per share).

   During the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting  Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes.  The new standard has changed certain requirements
prescribed by SFAS No. 96, but retains the asset and liability
approach of accounting for deferred taxes.  The adoption of SFAS
No. 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

   The Company's tax benefit consisted of the following:

   Deferred income taxes of $54,000 and $16,000 were included in
current liabilities at the end of 1993 and 1992.  The change in the
method of accounting for inventory which was made in the first
quarter of 1993 resulted in a $3,596,000 increase in the deferred
federal tax liability and a $388,000 increase in deferred state tax
liability.

   Deferred assets were reduced by a valuation allowance of
$2,950,000 during 1993.  Based upon the criterion of SFAS No. 109,
recognition of a deferred tax asset is prohibited if the Company
cannot show that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
asset will be realized in future years.

   The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $7,261,000.  The carryforwards expire $641,000 in
2008 and $6,620,000 in 2009.  Additionally, the Company has foreign
tax credit carryforwards of $232,000 expiring from 1997 to 1999,
job tax credit carryforwards of $173,000 expiring from 2008 to 2009
and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $61,000.

NOTE G - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

CAPITAL STOCK
- -------------
Authorized capital stock consists of 500,000 shares of $1 par 
value preferred stock and 15,000,000 shares of $1 par value common
stock.  No preferred stock has been issued.  Common stock issued
and outstanding was 5,805,000 shares at the end of 1993 and 1992,
and 5,804,000 shares at the end of 1991.

   COMMON STOCK OPTION PLANS
   -------------------------
   At the end of 1993, the Company had under option 580,100 shares
of its common stock for issuance at prices ranging from $4.13 to
$15.20 per share, of which 322,950 were exercisable.

   The Company's 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan
provides for the issuance of options to non-employee directors of
the Company at an option price equal to the average of the closing
prices of the last five trading days preceding and including the
date of grant.  Unexercised options expire no later than ten years
from date of grant or three months after the termination of the
directorship, extended to one year if the termination of
directorship is caused by death or disability.  An additional
70,000 shares are reserved for future option grants.

   The Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan and 1982 Incentive Stock
Option Plan provide for the issuance of options to key employees of
the Company at an option price of 100% of the market value of the
shares at the time the options are granted.  No option is
exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the
option is granted and unexercised options lapse at termination of
employment under the 1982 Plan and thirty-one days after
termination of employment under the 1991 Plan.  An additional
80,300 shares are reserved for future option grants under the 1991
Plan.

   The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan allows the granting of
options at an option price of not less than 50% of the market value
of the shares at date of grant.  Unexercised options expire no
later than ten years from date of grant or twelve months after
termination of employment.  An additional 32,000 shares are
reserved for future option grants.

   The Company records an expense based on the difference between
the option price and fair market value of the stock at date of
grant, amortized over the vesting period of the option.  Selling
and administrative expenses related to the grant of stock options
were not material in 1993, 1992 or 1991.  Upon the exercise of
options, the proceeds are credited to the common stock account to
the extent of the par value of the shares issued, and the proceeds
in excess of the par value are credited to additional capital.

   COMMON STOCK BONUS PLAN
   -----------------------
   The Company has 36,502 shares of stock reserved for future
grants under a stock bonus plan.  At the end of 1993, no grants
were outstanding.  The plan provides for the issuance of shares, at
no cost to employees, over a five year period from date of grant,
with one-third of the shares to be received at the end of each of
the third, fourth, and fifth years if still employed.  Selling and
administrative expenses related to the stock bonus plan were not
material in 1993, 1992 or 1991.


NOTE H - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

   Earnings (loss)  per common and dilutive common equivalent share
are based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each year.  Outstanding options and bonus grants
are included in periods where they have a dilutive effect.


NOTE I - CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING

   As a result of the Company's review of its operating strategies
to become primarily a mega-store sporting goods operator, and in
order to more aggressively redeploy its assets, the Company is
implementing a restructuring plan to close 34 underperforming
traditional stores.  A  restructuring charge of $15,000,000 before
taxes was recorded in December 1993 which includes provisions for
anticipated operating losses, liquidation markdowns on inventory,
leasehold improvement abandonments, lease termination costs and
other anticipated costs necessary to close the stores.

                  OSHMAN'S SPORTING GOODS, INC.

                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                      --------------------

     This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is dated as of
October 3, 1990, between Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Employer"), and Alvin N. Lubetkin, a resident of
Houston, Texas ("Employee").

                            Recitals
                            --------

     Employee has been employed by Employer since 1961 and has
served as chief executive officer since 1968.  Employee's
employment has been and is presently terminable at will by either
party.  Concurrently herewith, Employer is making a loan to
Employee in the principal amount of $700,000.00 (the "Loan") in
order to assure that the Employer shall have the continued benefit
of Employee's services on the terms and conditions herein provided
for.  

     Now Therefore, it is agreed as follows:

     1.   Employment.  Employee agrees to continue to serve the
          ----------
Employer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
for a term commencing as of October 3, 1990 (the "Effective Date")
and expiring on the date the Loan is fully repaid (the "Expiration
Date").  Employee acknowledges that his employment shall continue
to be at the will of the Employer, who may terminate his employment
at any time with or without cause.  If Employee remains in the
employ of Employer following the Expiration Date and Employer and
Employee do not enter into a written employment agreement governing
such employment, then such employment shall be on an at-will basis
with either party having the right to terminate such employment at
any time and for any reason (with or without cause) and none of the
provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such employment other
than the provisions of Sections 4, 6 and 7.

     2.   Compensation and Other Benefits.  As compensation for all
          -------------------------------
services rendered by Employee in the performance of his duties or
obligations under this Agreement, Employer shall pay Employee a
salary and such other compensation as are fixed from time to time
by the Board of Directors of the Employer (the "Board"), such
salary to be payable in the manner and on the timetable which
Employer's payroll is customarily handled or at such intervals as
the Employer and the Employee may hereafter agree to from time to
time.  Employee shall receive such other benefits as may be fixed
from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Employer.  All
compensation paid hereunder, whether in the form of salary or
otherwise, shall be subject to any and all applicable payroll and
withholding deductions required by the law of any jurisdiction,
state or federal, with taxing authority with respect thereto.

     3.   Duties.  Employee is employed to act as President and
          ------
chief executive officer of Employer or in such other office or
position of an executive character as shall be assigned to him from
time to time by the Board, and to perform such executive duties as
are commensurate with his position with Employer and which are
assigned by the Board not inconsistent with the provisions hereof. 
In addition, if requested to do so by the Board, Employee shall
serve as an officer and as a member of the board of directors of
any subsidiary or affiliate of Employer.  Employee agrees that he
shall be a full-time employee of Employer; shall devote his entire
working time, attention and energy to the affairs of Employer;
shall not serve on the board of directors of any other corporation
without the prior consent of Employer; shall perform the duties of
his position in an efficient and competent manner and shall use his
best efforts to promote the interests of Employer, its subsidiaries
and affiliates.  The foregoing shall not be construed as preventing
Employee from making investments in business enterprises provided
such investments do not require any services on the part of
Employee in the operation of such businesses or enterprises.

     4.   Disclosure of Confidential Information.  Except to the
          --------------------------------------
extent required in the performance of his duties or obligations to
Employer and as expressly authorized herein, or by express prior
consent of the Board, Employee will never, directly or indirectly,
at any time during his employment with Employer, or at any time
subsequent to the termination of such employment, for any reason
whatsoever, with or without cause, breach the confidence reposed in
him by the Employer by using, disseminating, disclosing, divulging
or in any manner whatsoever permitting to be divulged or disclosed
to any person, firm, corporation, association or other business
entity, trade secrets, secret methods or "Confidential Information"
of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (herein
referred to collectively as the "Company").  As used herein, the
term "Confidential Information" means any and all information
relating directly or indirectly to the Company that is not
generally ascertainable in usable form from public or published
information or trade sources, including, but not limited to, any
and all information concerning the Company's financial condition,
products, processes, sources of supply, services, customers,
licensees, financial statements and other financial data (including
such statements or data for any individual retail store or group of
retail stores), purchasing, marketing, merchandising, accounting
(including receivables, provisions for taxes, internal reporting
systems and accountant's work papers), management organization,
appraisals, leases, books and records, costs and net and gross
margin information, disclosed to Employee or known by Employee as
a consequence of or through his employment by the Company.  On
termination of employment with Employer, all documents, records,
notebooks, tapes and similar repositories of Confidential
Information then in Employee's possession or in the possession of
any third party under the control of Employee or pursuant to any
agreement with Employee, whether prepared by Employer, Employee or
any other person, firm, corporation, association or other business
entity, together with any copies of the foregoing, will be
delivered to Employer by Employee.  

     5.   Termination of Employment.
          -------------------------

     (a)  Employee's employment pursuant hereto shall terminate in
the event of the death of Employee.

     (b)  Employer may by action of the Board terminate Employee's
employment under this Agreement for cause without any prior notice,
upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (i)   the conviction of Employee, whether or not appeal
     be taken, of any misdemeanor or felony crime involving
     personal dishonesty, moral turpitude or willfully violent
     misconduct;

          (ii)  any embezzlement or wrongful diversion of funds of
     the Company;

          (iii) gross business misconduct by Employee;

          (iv)  gross malfeasance by Employee in the conduct of his
     duties; 

          (v)  breach of Section 4 or Section 6 of this Agreement;
     or 

          (vi) any other breach of any of the terms of this
     Agreement and such breach has not been corrected after
     Employer has given Employee reasonable notice thereof and a
     reasonable opportunity to correct any such breach.

     (c)  Employer may terminate Employee's employment under this
Agreement without cause at any time by giving written notice to
Employee.

     6.   Covenant Not to Compete.
          -----------------------

     (a)  For purposes of this Section 6, the term "Conflicting
Organization" shall mean any person or organization which is
engaged in or about to become engaged in, any retail sporting goods
business in competition with the Company in any geographical areas
in which the Company was conducting business during Employee's
employment with Employer.

     (b)  Employee covenants and agrees that during Employee's
employment with Employer and for a period of eighteen (18) months
following any termination of his employment with Employer, other
than termination without cause by Employer (whether prior to or
after the Expiration Date), Employee shall not, without Employer's
prior written approval render services for or own or participate in
the ownership of, finance or participate in the financing of,
manage, operate, join or control, directly or indirectly, in any
capacity whatsoever, any Conflicting Organization, except that
Employee may accept employment with a Conflicting Organization
whose business is diversified and that as to some part of its
business is not a Conflicting Organization, provided that Employer,
prior to Employee accepting such employment, shall receive separate
written assurances satisfactory to Employer from such Conflicting
Organization and from Employee that Employee will not render
services directly or indirectly in connection with any part of the
business which is a Conflicting Organization.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the covenant contained in the preceding sentence shall
apply only so long as any part of the Loan remains unpaid if either
(i) Employee's employment is terminated after September 6, 1992 or
(ii) Employee terminates his employment before September 6, 1992
for the reason that he is no longer employed as the chief executive
officer of Employer or that his base salary has been materially
reduced.

     (c)  Nothing contained in paragraph (b) above shall in any
manner be construed as prohibiting Employee from purchasing for
investment any stock or securities listed on any recognized stock
exchange; provided, however, that Employee may not purchase or own,
directly or indirectly a five percent (5%) or greater equity
interest in any Conflicting Organization issuing such stock or
securities. 

     (d)  Employee covenants and agrees that for a period of three
(3) years following the termination for any reason of his
employment with the Company he shall not either for himself or on
behalf of any other person or organization (i) hire, attempt to
hire, contact or solicit with respect to hiring any employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) induce or otherwise
counsel, advise or encourage any employee of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries to leave the employment of the Company or such
subsidiary.

     (e)  Employee acknowledges that this Section 6 constitutes an
independent covenant and shall not be affected by performance or
non-performance of any provision of this Agreement by Employer and
that the making to Employee of the Loan is good and sufficient
consideration for all Employee's covenants under this Section 6.

     (f)  To the extent necessary to satisfy the laws of the State
of Texas or any other applicable jurisdiction, Employer and
Employee agree that any geographical, temporal or other restriction
set forth in this Section 6 can and should, if necessary, be
judicially modified and enforced as modified to protect any
legitimate interest of the Employer.

     (g)  Employee warrants and represents that he:

          (i)   is familiar with covenants not to compete;

          (ii)  has concluded that such provisions (including,
     without limitation, the right to equitable relief and the
     length of time and size of area provided for herein) are fair,
     reasonable and just under the circumstances; and

          --------
irreparably damaged by reason of any violation of the provisions of
Sections 4 or 6 hereof, and that any remedy at law for a breach of

entitled to seek and obtain injunctive or other equitable relief
(including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order, a
temporary injunction or a permanent injunction) against Employee,
his agents, assigns or successors for a breach or threatened breach
of such provisions and without the necessity of proving actual
monetary loss.  It is expressly understood that this injunctive or
other equitable relief shall not be Employer's exclusive remedy for
any breach of this Agreement and Employer shall be entitled to seek
any other relief or remedy which it may have by contract, statute,
law or otherwise for any breach hereof.

     8.   Actions by Board.  Though Employee may be serving on the
          ----------------

at Houston, Texas, as of the date first above written.

     1993 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN


I.   Purposes

     The purposes of this 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan") are (i) to provide additional incentive for
securing and retaining qualified non-employee persons to serve on
the Board of Directors of the Company and (ii) to enhance the
future growth of the Company by furthering the Non-Employee
Directors' identification with the interests of the Company and its
stockholders.  It is intended that Options granted under this Plan
will be Non-Qualified Stock Options.

II.  Definitions

     (a)   In this Plan, except where the context otherwise
indicates, the following definitions apply:

           (1)  "Board" means the Board of Directors of the
     Company.

           (2)  "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended.  References herein to any section of the Code shall
     include any successor section of the Code or its successor.

           (3)  "Company" means Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc., a
     Delaware corporation.

           (4)  "Disability" means the Participant so affected is
     unable to engage in substantial gainful activity by reason of
     any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which
     can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can
     be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than
     12 months.  A determination by a majority of the Board, other
     than the Participant, as to whether the Participant has
     incurred a Disability shall be final and conclusive as to all
     interested parties.

           (5)  "Designated Beneficiary" means the person
     designated to be entitled, on the death of a Participant, to
     any remaining rights arising out of a Stock Option.  If no
     such designation has been made by the Participant, or if the
     Designated Beneficiary should pre-decease the Participant, any
     remaining rights arising out of a Stock Option shall inure to
     the executor or administrator of the Participant's estate or
     to his heirs at law if no administration is had on the
     Participant's estate.

           (6)  "Effective Date" means the date on which the Plan
     is approved by the stockholders of the Company.

           (7)  "Fair Market Value" means, with respect to a share
     of Common Stock on any date herein specified, the average last
     reported sale price for the last five trading days (on which
     trades have occurred) preceding and including the specified
     date on the NASDAQ National Market List, or if the Common
     Stock is listed on a national securities exchange as of such
     date, the average of the closing prices reported by such
     national securities exchange for said five-day period.  If the
     Common Stock is not included in the NASDAQ National Market
     List or listed on a national securities exchange as of such
     date, "Fair Market Value" shall mean the average of the
     closing bid prices for the five-day period last quoted by an
     established quotation service for over-the-counter securities.

     In the event the Common Stock is not publicly traded at the
     time a determination of its Fair Market Value is required to
     be made hereunder, the determination of its Fair Market Value
     shall be made by the Board in good faith in such manner as it
     deems appropriate.  In no event shall the "Fair Market Value"
     be lower than the par value per share of the Common Stock.

           (8)  "Non-Employee Director" means a person who as of
     any applicable date is a member of the Board, is not an
     officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, and
     is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

           (9)  "Non-Qualified Stock Option" means an option which
     does not meet the requirements of Section 422A(b) of the Code.

           (10) "Participant" means a Non-Employee Director who is
     granted a Stock Option hereunder.

           (11) "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933,
     as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

           (12) "Share" means a share of Stock that has been
     previously (i) authorized but unissued, or (ii) issued and
     reacquired by the Company.

           (13) "Stock" or "Common Stock" means the common stock,
     $1.00 par value per share, of the Company.

           (14) "Stock Option" or "Option" means an option to
     purchase Shares.

           (15) "Terminate" means cease to be a Director of the
     Company.

           (16) "Termination of Directorship" means the cessation
     by any Participant to be a Director for any reason whatsoever,
     voluntary or involuntary.  A Termination of Directorship shall
     be deemed to occur on the actual date of such termination (by
     death, Disability, retirement, resignation, non-election or
     otherwise).

III. Grants of Stock Options and Option Price

     (a)   Options will be granted only to individuals who are Non-
Employee Directors of the Company.  On the Effective Date, each
Non-Employee Director shall receive, without the exercise of the
discretion of any person or persons, Options exercisable for 10,000
Shares.  Thereafter, as of the date of the annual meeting of
stockholders in each year after 1993 that the Plan is in effect, as
provided in Section V hereof, each Non-Employee Director then in
office who did not previously receive a grant of Options hereunder
shall receive, without the exercise of the discretion of any person
or persons, Options exercisable for 10,000 Shares.  If, as of such
annual meeting date there are not sufficient Shares available under
the Plan to allow for the grant to each eligible Non-Employee
Director of Options for the number of shares provided herein, each
eligible Non-Employee Director shall receive Options for a pro rata
share of the total number of Shares available under the Plan.  All
Options granted under the Plan shall be (i) at the Option price set
forth in subsection (b), (ii) subject to the vesting schedule set
forth in subsection (c), and (iii) subject to adjustment as
provided in Section VII and to the terms and conditions set forth
in Section VIII.

     (b)   The purchase price of Shares issued under each Option
shall be the Fair Market Value of Shares subject to the Option on
the date the Option is granted.

     (c)   All Options granted hereunder shall vest 20% six months
following the date on which they were granted and 20% thereafter at
the commencement of each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders
until fully vested.  No portion of an Option shall be exercisable
unless and until it is vested.  

IV.  Administration

     (a)   The Plan shall be administered by the Board or by a duly
appointed committee of the Board having such powers as shall be
specified by the Board.  Any subsequent references herein to the
Board shall also mean the committee if such committee has been
appointed and, unless the powers of the committee have been
specifically limited, the committee shall have all of the powers of
the Board granted herein, including, without limitation, the power
to terminate or amend the Plan at any time, subject to the terms of
the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law.  All
questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any Options shall be
determined by the Board, and such determinations shall be final and
binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan or any
Option.

     (b)   The Board may, in its discretion, delegate duties to an
officer or employee or a committee composed of officers or
employees of the Company, but it may not delegate its authority to
apply and interpret this Plan.

V.   Term

     The term of this Plan commences on the Effective Date and will
terminate at 11:59 p.m. on the date of the annual meeting of
stockholders in the year 2003.  This Plan shall remain in effect
for the purposes of administration of any Stock Option granted
pursuant to its provisions and no such Stock Option granted during
the term of this Plan shall be adversely affected by the
termination of the Plan.

VI.  Shares Reserved; Options Grantable and Exercisable

     (a)   Subject to adjustment as provided in Section VII hereof,
a total of 100,000 Shares shall be subject to the Plan.  The Shares
subject to the Plan shall be and are hereby reserved for issuance
pursuant to the Plan.  Any of the Shares that are not subject to
outstanding Options at the termination of the Plan shall cease to
be reserved for the purposes of the Plan.  Should any Option expire
or be canceled prior to its exercise in full, the Shares
theretofore subject to such Option may again be subjected to an
Option under the Plan.

     (b)   As to a Participant, an Option ceases to be exercisable,
as to any Share, when the Participant purchases the Share or when
the Option lapses.

VII. Adjustments

     (a)   The existence of outstanding Stock Options shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the
Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference stock ahead of, or affecting, the
Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any
part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.  

     (b)   If the Company shall effect a subdivision or
consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment
of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding, without receiving
compensation therefor in money, services or property, then (a) the
number and per share price of shares of Common Stock subject to
outstanding Stock Options hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted
in such a manner as to entitle a Participant to receive upon
exercise of a Stock Option, for the same aggregate cash
consideration, the same total number and class of shares as the
Participant would have received had he or she exercised his or her
Stock Option in full immediately prior to the event requiring the
adjustment; and (b) the number and class of shares then reserved
for issuance under the Plan shall be adjusted by substituting for
the total number of shares of Common Stock then reserved that
number and class of shares of Common Stock that would have been
received by the owner of an equal number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as the result of the event requiring the adjustment.

     (c)   After a merger of one or more corporations into the
Company or after a consolidation of the Company and one or more
corporations in which the Company is the surviving corporation,
each holder of an outstanding Stock Option, upon exercise of such
Stock Option, shall be entitled to receive (at no additional cost
but subject to any required action by stockholders) in lieu of the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Stock
Option is exercisable, the number and class of shares of stock (or
other securities or consideration) to which such holder would have
been entitled pursuant to the terms of the agreement of merger or
consolidation if, immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation, such holder had been the holder of record of the
same number of shares of Common Stock which he or she would have
otherwise received upon exercise of such Stock Option.  

     (d)   If the Company is merged into or consolidated with
another corporation under circumstances where the Company is not
the surviving corporation, or if the Company is liquidated, or
sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all its assets to
another corporation while unexercised Stock Options remain
outstanding under the Plan, (i) subject to the provisions of
clause (iii) below, after the effective date of such merger,
consolidation, liquidation, or sale, as the case may be, each
holder of an outstanding Stock Option shall be entitled, upon
exercise of such Stock Option, to receive at no additional cost, in
lieu of shares of Common Stock, shares of such stock (or other
securities or consideration) as the holders of shares of Common
Stock received pursuant to the terms of the merger, consolidation,
liquidation, or sale; (ii) any limitations set forth in or imposed
pursuant to Section VIII hereof shall automatically lapse so that
all Stock Options, from and after a thirty (30) day period
preceding the effective date of such merger, consolidation,
liquidation or sale, as the case may be, shall be exercisable in
full; and (iii) all outstanding Stock Options may be canceled by
the Board as of the effective date of any such merger,
consolidation, liquidation or sale provided that (a) notice of such
cancellation shall be given to each holder of a Stock Option, and
(b) each holder of a Stock Option shall have the right to exercise
such Stock Option in full (without regard to any limitations set
forth in or imposed pursuant to Section VIII hereof) during a
thirty (30) day period preceding the effective date of such merger,
consolidation, liquidation, or sale.  In the event any acceleration
of vesting provided by clause (ii) or (iii) above would result in
imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code,
a Participant may elect to waive such acceleration with respect to
such number of shares subject to unvested Stock Options as the
Participant shall designate, and the Participant shall be entitled
to designate from among his or her unvested Stock Options those
Stock Options which shall not be subject to accelerated vesting.

     (e)   Except as expressly provided herein, the issue by the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible
into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor, or
services, either upon direct sale, exercise of rights or warrants
to subscribe therefor, or conversion of shares or obligations of
the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall
not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number, class or price of shares of Common Stock
then subject to outstanding Stock Options.

VIII. Terms and Conditions of Stock Options

     (a)   During the Participant's life, the Stock Option is
exercisable only by the Participant or by his or her guardian or
legal representative.

     (b)   A Stock Option under this Plan is not assignable or
transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
(as defined in the Code), and is not subject, in whole or in part,
to attachment, execution or levy of any kind.

     (c)   Any Stock Option or portion thereof that is exercisable
shall be exercisable for the full amount or for any part thereof.

     (d)   Stock Options shall be exercised by the delivery of
written notice to the Company setting forth the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be
exercised and, subject to the subsequent provisions hereof, the
address to which the certificates representing shares of the Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Stock Option shall be
mailed.  In order to be effective, such written notice shall be
accompanied at the time of its delivery to the Company by payment
of the exercise price of such shares of Common Stock, which payment
shall be made in cash or by check, bank draft, or postal or express
money order payable to the order of the Company in an amount (in
United States dollars) equal to the exercise price of such shares
of Common Stock.  Such notice shall be delivered in person to the
Secretary of the Company, or shall be sent by registered mail,
return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Company, in which
case, delivery shall be deemed made on the date such notice is
deposited in the mail.  When shares of Common Stock are to be
issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan, but only to the extent
that the Company determines that tax withholding is required
pursuant to applicable law or regulation, the Company shall require
the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to
satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements
prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such
Shares, which payment may be made in the manner set forth above or
in the manner permitted by clause (e) below.

     (e)   Alternatively, payment of the exercise price may be
made, in whole or in part, by delivery of shares of Common Stock
previously issued to the Participant.  Unless otherwise permitted
by the Board, payment of the exercise price with shares of Common
Stock shall be made only with shares owned by the Participant for
at least six (6) months.  If payment is made in whole or in part in
shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant, then the
Participant shall deliver to the Company, in payment of the option
price of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such
Stock Option is exercised, (i) certificates registered in the name
of such Participant representing a number of shares of Common Stock
legally and beneficially owned by such Participant, free of all
liens, claims and encumbrances of every kind and having a Fair
Market Value as of the date of delivery of such notice that is not
greater than the exercise price of the shares of Common Stock with
respect to which such Stock Option is to be exercised plus any
applicable tax required to be withheld by the Company, such
certificates to be accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in
blank by the record holder of the shares represented by such
certificates; and (ii), if the exercise price of the shares of
Common Stock with respect to which such Stock Option is to be
exercised exceeds such Fair Market Value, cash or a check, bank
draft, or postal or express money order payable to the order of the
Company in an amount (in United States dollars) equal to the amount
of such excess.

     (f)   Stock Options granted to any Participant under this Plan
shall be subject to the following conditions:

           (1)  The price per share shall be as set forth in
     Section III.

           (2)  Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3)
     below, each Stock Option shall have a term of ten (10) years
     from the date such Option is granted and shall vest in
     accordance with section III(c) hereof.

           (3)  A Stock Option shall lapse and expire in the
     following situations:

                (i)  If a Termination of Directorship shall occur
           with respect to any Participant, for any reason other
           than death or Disability, any and all unexercised and
           vested Stock Options held by such Participant shall
           expire (A) as of 12:01 a.m. on the date which is three
           (3) months after the date of such Termination of
           Directorship or (B) on the expiration date of the term
           of the Stock Option, whichever date is earlier.

               (ii) If a Termination of Directorship shall occur
           with respect to any Participant by reason of the death
           or Disability of such Participant, any and all
           unexercised and vested Stock Options shall expire (A) as
           of 12:01 a.m. on the date which is one (1) year from the
           date of Termination of Directorship due to such death or
           Disability or (B) on the expiration date of the term of
           the Stock Option, whichever date is earlier.  Any such
           vested and unexercised Stock Option may be exercised by
           the Designated Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, or
           the legal guardian of a Disabled Participant, subject to
           all applicable provisions of the Plan.

                (iii)  In the event of a Participant's Termination
           of Directorship for any reason other than not being re-
           elected at an annual meeting of stockholders, including
           death or Disability, any portion of a previously granted
           Option that was not exercisable on the date of such
           Termination of Directorship shall automatically expire
           as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of Termination of
           Directorship, and no further vesting of such Option
           shall occur.  In the event of a Participant's
           Termination of Directorship occasioned by not being
           re-elected at an annual meeting of stockholders, any
           previously granted Option shall continue to vest until
           the conclusion of such annual meeting of stockholders
           and any portion of such Option that is not then
           exercisable shall automatically expire at the conclusion
           of such meeting.

IX.  Power to Amend

     The Board of Directors may modify, revise or terminate this
Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that the
Plan shall not be amended more than once every six (6) months,
other than to comport with changes in the Code, or the regulations
thereunder, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended, or the regulations thereunder; and provided, further,
that without the approval of the holders of at least a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Company's voting stock, the Board of
Directors may not (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to
participants under the Plan; (ii) change the aggregate number of
Shares which may be issued under Options pursuant to the provisions
of the Plan; (iii) reduce the Option price at which Options have
been granted; or (iv) change the class of persons eligible to
receive Options.  However, no termination or amendment of the Plan
may, without the consent of the holder of any Option then
outstanding adversely affect the rights of such holder under the
Option.

X.   Exercise of Options; Registration

     The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares
of Common Stock under any Stock Option if the issuance of such
shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the
Company of any provision of any law, statute, or regulation of any
governmental authority whether it be Federal or State. 
Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act, upon exercise
of any Stock Option, unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Common
Stock covered by such Stock Option, the Company shall not be
required to issue such shares unless the Board has received
evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the holder of such
Stock Option is acquiring such shares of Common Stock for
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and
that such shares of Common Stock may otherwise be issued without
registration under the Securities Act or State securities laws. Any
determination in this connection by the Board shall be final,
binding and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be
obligated to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to
the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any
affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of a Stock
Option, or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto, to comply with
any law or regulation of any governmental authority.

XI.  Withholding

     The provisions of this section shall apply only to the extent
that the Company determines that tax withholding is required,
pursuant to applicable law or regulation, at the time that Shares
are to be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan.  If the Company
determines that tax withholding is required, the Company shall
require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, and local
withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any
certificate or certificates for Shares.  The Company shall also
have the right to withhold from any fees or other compensation
payable by the Company to the Participant an amount sufficient to
satisfy any applicable federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements.

XII. Stock Option Agreement

     The Stock Options awarded to a Participant shall be evidenced
by a separate written agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement")
which shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, and
which shall be signed by the Participant and by a duly authorized
officer, other than the Participant, in the name of and on behalf
of the Company.  In the event of any inconsistency or conflict
between the terms of the Plan and a Stock Option Agreement, the
terms of the Plan shall govern.

XIII. No Rights as Stockholder

     A holder of a Stock Option shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Shares of Common Stock until the
issuance of a certificate for such Shares.  Except as otherwise
provided in Section VII, no adjustment shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other
property) or distributions or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

XIV. No Assignment or Alienation of Benefits

     No right or benefit under this Plan shall be subject to
anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or
charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void, except for any
transfer pursuant to the Participant's will or under the laws of
descent and distribution.  No right or benefit hereunder shall in
any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts,
liabilities, or torts of the person entitled to such right or
benefit.

XV.  Gender, Tense and Headings

     Whenever the context so requires, words of the masculine
gender used herein shall include the feminine and neuter, and words
used in the singular shall include the plural.  Section headings as
used herein are inserted solely for convenience and reference and
constitute no part of the construction of this Plan.  The words
"hereunder", "herein", "hereof" and similar compounds of the word
"here" shall refer to the entire Plan and not to any particular
section or provision. 

XVI. No Guarantee of Tax Consequences

     The Company makes no commitment or guarantee that any federal,
state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any Non-
Employee Director participating or eligible to participate herein.

XVII. Severability

     In the event that any provision of this Plan shall be held
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully
severable, but shall not affect the remaining provisions of the
Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had not been included
herein.

XVIII. Shareholder Approval

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, in order for
the Plan to continue as effective, on or before the date which
occurs twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the
Board, the Plan must be approved by the holders of at least a
majority of the shares of Stock present, or represented, and
entitled to vote thereon, at a duly held stockholders' meeting, and
no shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan until such
approval has been secured.  

XIX. Interpretations

     The provisions of the Plan shall be construed, administered,
and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without giving
effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and, to the extent
applicable, the laws of the United States.

XX.  Government Regulations

     The Plan, the granting and exercise of Stock Options
thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver
Shares under such Stock Options, shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any
governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be
required.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan is executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, effective
on and as of this 18th day of June, 1993.
