NOTE A


The financial statements are condensed and should be read in conjunction with
the 1997 annual report.  The financial information contained herein is
unaudited, but in the opinion of the management of the Company, includes all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation
of the results of operations for the periods indicated.  The results for the six
months ended August 1, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.


NOTE B

In fiscal 1997, the Company changed its method of accounting for pre-opening
expenses from amortizing such expenses against earnings over a one year period
subsequent to the new store opening to charging such expenses against earnings
in the period in which the new store opens for business.  The cumulative effect
to periods prior to February 2, 1997 was $1,299,000.  The first two quarters of
fiscal 1997 have been restated to reflect the change in the method of accounting
for pre-opening expenses resulting in a net reduction of $446,000 for the first
six months of 1997.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased 4.7% to $79.0 million
from $82.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  The net reduction in
sales is primarily attributable to lost sales ($6.3 million) from the stores
closed in fiscal 1997 and a comparable store sales decline of 5.3% in continuing
stores.  Net sales for the first six 
<PAGE>
 
months of fiscal 1998 decreased 11.8% to $151.2 million from $171.3 million in
the first six months of fiscal 1997. The net reduction in sales is attributable
primarily to lost sales from stores closed in fiscal 1997 ($25.9 million) and a
comparable store sales decline of 5.0% in continuing stores. Management
attributes the decline in comparable store sales to several factors, including
lower inventory levels related to the Company's efforts to increase margins and
improve inventory turnover rates, reduced advertising expenditures and increased
competitive pressures.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 66.0% and 65.5% respectively
in the quarter and six months ending August 1, 1998 compared to 65.8% and 66.0%
respectively in the same periods of fiscal 1997.  The reduction in cost of goods
sold as a percentage of net sales in the first six months of fiscal 1998 was
attributable to an improvement in gross margins as a percentage of sales
resulting from the Company's strategy to improve inventory productivity and to
reduced markdowns in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to the first
quarter of the previous year. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for
the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased slightly compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1997.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 33.8% and
34.8% respectively for the quarter and six months ended August 1, 1998 compared
to 36.1% and 35.0% respectively in the same periods of fiscal 1997.  In the
second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1998, selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales in continuing stores increased slightly as a
result of lower sales as discussed above, however this increased rate was offset
by reduced corporate overhead and distribution costs as a percentage of sales.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for continuing
operations decreased slightly (.4%) in the first six months of fiscal 1998
compared to the same period in fiscal 1997.  In fiscal 1997, total selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the first quarter were lower
than normal primarily due to increased sales volumes in discontinued stores
which were undergoing liquidation sales during that period.   In the second
quarter of fiscal 1997, total selling and administrative expenses were somewhat
higher than normal as a percentage of sales as a result of costs in discontinued
stores which increased as a percentage of sales as certain of these stores
experienced reduced sales volumes during the final stages of liquidation.

In fiscal 1997, the Company changed its accounting method for pre-opening
expenses to charge such expenses against earnings in the period in which a new
store opens for business.  The cumulative effect to periods prior to February 2,
1997 was $1.3 million.  Results for the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 1997 have been restated to reflect the new accounting method, resulting
in a net improvement of $474,000 to previously reported second quarter results
and a net reduction of $446,000 to previously reported results for the first six
months.  No new stores were opened in the first six  months of fiscal 1998.

Store closing provision was a benefit of $499,000 in both the second quarter and
first six months of fiscal 1998 compared to a benefit of $713,000 and $688,000
respectively in the same periods of fiscal 1997.  The benefit in both years is
related to management's re-
<PAGE>
 
evaluation of store closing reserves for lease termination costs, leasehold and
other asset writeoffs and other incremental store closing costs.

Miscellaneous income was $3.5 million and $3.8 million respectively in the
second quarter and six months ending August 1, 1998 compared to $748,000 and
$3.0 million respectively in the same periods of fiscal 1997.  The second
quarter of fiscal 1998 includes a gain of $3.5 million from a sale of real
estate that was not being used in the Company's retail business.   In fiscal
1997, miscellaneous income included a gain from the sale of leasehold interests
of $389,000 in the second quarter and $1.9 million in the first quarter.  In
addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company recognized a fee
related to a new foreign license agreement.

The decreased interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 1998 is primarily related to reduced interest rates and lower average
borrowings in fiscal 1998 under the Company's credit facility.

Income tax (benefit) in fiscal 1998 includes a benefit of $219,000 related to a
refund of prior years Federal income taxes.  Income taxes in fiscal 1997 are
related primarily to state income taxes.  In fiscal 1998, net operating loss
carryforwards are anticipated to be realized, resulting in no Federal income tax
expense.

In the first six months of fiscal 1998, the Company had pretax earnings of $2.1
million compared to a loss of $337,000 before income taxes and cumulative effect
of change in accounting method for pre-opening expenses in the same period in
fiscal 1997.  The improved results in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997 are
primarily attributable to (i) improved results from continuing operations both
as a result of an improved gross margin rate and slightly reduced selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales and (ii) the increased gain
from sale of real estate in fiscal 1998 over the gain from disposition of
leasehold interests in fiscal 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the first six months of fiscal 1998, operating activities used cash totaling
$2.1 million.  Investing activities provided cash of $2.8 million as a result of
a sale of real estate for $3.8 million, offset by $1.2 million used for the
purchase of property, plant and equipment.  Financing activities provided net
cash of $3.8 million through the utilization of the Company's credit facility.
In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company, at its option and without
penalty,  pre-paid a $3.1 million mortgage note secured by land and a building
where it operates a SuperSports USA megastore.

Cash was $4.9 million at August 1, 1998 primarily as a result of  a temporary
over-advanced condition under the Company's revolving credit facility.

Merchandise inventories declined to $92.7 million from $99.9 million at the
beginning of the fiscal year.  Comparable store inventories were reduced
approximately 10.8% from year ago levels primarily as a result of the Company's
strategy to improve inventory productivity by lowering average inventory levels
and improving turnover rates.  Trade accounts payable declined to $33.0 million
from $42.4 million at the beginning of fiscal 
<PAGE>
 
1998 primarily as a result of the decline in merchandise inventories and normal
seasonal fluctuations.

Net additions to property, plant and equipment of $1.2 million during the first
six months of fiscal 1998 were related primarily to renovations and
refurbishment in existing locations.  The Company does not expect to open any
new stores in fiscal 1998, however, it has signed leases for three new store
locations and would like to open an additional eight new SuperSports USA
megastores during the next two fiscal years.

The Company's primary source of liquidity in the first six months of fiscal 1998
was the Company's credit facility, under which average borrowings were $43.0
million compared to $43.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 1997.  Long-
term obligations increased to $40.3 million from $36.0 million at the beginning
of the fiscal 1998 as the Company utilized its credit facility to meet its
working capital requirements.  In May 1998, the Company sold land and a building
in California, which had been leased to a third party, for $3.8 million in cash.
The Company believes that its revolving credit facility together with cash
provided by operations will be adequate to meet anticipated capital needs for
fiscal 1998.


YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year.  Without corrective actions,
programs with time-sensitive software would potentially recognize a date ending
in "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, causing many computer
applications to fail or create erroneous results and potentially causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business
practices.

During fiscal 1996, the Company completed the installation of new financial
accounting and reporting systems and payroll and human resources systems, and in
fiscal 1997 the Company installed new sales audit software.  The Company also
installed a new IBM AS400 computer in fiscal 1997 to accommodate the new systems
and those to be installed in 1998.  In addition, the Company is in the process
of installing new merchandising information and inventory management systems
which are expected to be implemented by the end of fiscal 1998.  When
installation of these systems is complete, the Company will have updated
substantially all its computer systems and software to accommodate the year 2000
and beyond.  Cumulatively, capital costs of approximately $3.9 million have been
incurred for the purchase and installation of hardware and software related to
the year 2000 issue.  The Company does not expect future expenditures related to
the year 2000 issue to be significant for its internal systems.

The Company presently believes that upon completion of its installation of
computer hardware and software systems described above, the Year 2000 issue will
have been adequately addressed with respect to all of the Company's internal
computer systems.  Any failure of the Company's systems to be timely compliant,
however, could have a material and adverse impact on the business and operations
of the Company.  In addition, 
<PAGE>
 
the Company may face risks to the extent that suppliers of products, services
and systems purchased by the Company and others with whom the Company transacts
business do not have business systems or products that comply with the year 2000
requirements. In the event that any such third parties cannot timely provide the
Company with products, services or systems as a result of any such non-
compliance, the Company's operating results could be materially adversely
affected.


DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information discussed herein includes "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the federal securities laws.  Although the Company believes that
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,
the Company's actual results could differ materially as a result of certain
factors, including: the Company's ability to manage its expansion efforts in
existing and new markets, availability of suitable new store locations at
acceptable terms, levels of discretionary consumer spending, availability of
merchandise to meet fluctuating consumer demands, customer response to the
Company's merchandise offerings, fluctuating sales margins, increasing
competition in sporting goods and apparel retailing, the results of financing
efforts and financial market conditions, as well as other factors described from
time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Financing Agreement among each of
