</TABLE>

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 1.3% to $65.1 million
from $64.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 while comparable store
sales increased 3.5%.  Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999
declined 1.3% to $212.8 million from $215.5 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1998.  Comparable store sales increased .5% in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999.  The net reduction in sales is attributable to lost sales from
stores closed during the last 12 months, partially offset by sales from two new
SuperSports USA stores opened in March and October 1999.  Net sales were also
negatively impacted, primarily in the first half of fiscal 1999, by certain out-
of-stock conditions related to the startup of a new merchandising information
system in March 1999.
<PAGE>

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 64.3% and 64.9%
respectively in the quarter and nine months ending October 30, 1999 compared to
62.6% and 64.6% respectively in the same periods of fiscal 1998.  The increased
rate in the third quarter is related to certain non-recurring inventory related
adjustments (which decreased cost of goods sold in 1998 and increased it in
1999), changes in merchandise mix and the implementation of a new merchandise
information system.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 39.9% and
36.4% respectively for the quarter and nine months ended October 30, 1999
compared to 40.6% and 36.5% respectively in the same periods of fiscal 1998.
The decreased rate of selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales in the third quarter is primarily due to the leveraging effect of
increased sales as discussed above.

Pre-opening expenses are related to new SuperSports USA stores opened in March
and October of fiscal 1999.  No new stores were opened in fiscal 1998.

Store closing provision was a benefit in the first nine months of fiscal 1998.
The benefit was related to management's re-evaluation of store closing reserves
for lease termination costs, leasehold and other asset write-offs and other
incremental store closing costs.

Miscellaneous income was $216,000 and $391,000 respectively in the third quarter
and nine months ending October 30, 1999 compared to $311,000 and $4.1 million
respectively in the same periods of fiscal 1998.  The first nine months of
fiscal 1998 included a gain of $3.5 million from a sale of real estate that was
not being used in the Company's retail business.

Net interest expense was $804,000 and $2.1 million respectively in the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared to $735,000 and $2.5
million respectively in the same periods last year.  The increase in the third
quarter is related to increased prime interest rates and to higher average
borrowings caused primarily by higher inventory levels.  For the first nine
months overall, lower average borrowings resulted in decreased interest expense
compared to the same period of fiscal 1998.

Income taxes in fiscal 1999 are related primarily to state income taxes.  Income
tax benefit in fiscal 1998 includes benefits of $467,000 and $686,000
respectively in the third quarter and first nine months, related to a refund of
prior years Federal income taxes. In fiscal 1999, net operating loss
carryforwards are anticipated to be realized, resulting in no Federal income tax
expense.

In the first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company had a pretax loss of $5.1
million compared to a loss of $308,000 before income taxes in the same period in
fiscal 1998.  The decline in results in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998 is
primarily attributable to the non-recurrence of a gain on sale of real estate in
1998, and reduced gross margins in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to
1998. In addition, the non-recurrence of a reduction of store closing reserves
in fiscal 1998, costs associated with new store openings in 1999 and lower net
sales than expected further contributed to lower results in fiscal 1999.
<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the first nine months of fiscal 1999, operating activities used cash totaling
$16.9 million primarily as a result of an increase in inventory of $32.7
million, partially offset by a related increase in trade accounts payable of
$16.1 million.  Investing activities used cash of $2.8 million primarily for the
purchase of property, plant and equipment totaling $4.4 million offset by
landlord contributions.  Financing activities provided net cash of $19.9 million
primarily through the utilization of the Company's credit facility.

Merchandise inventories increased to $119.4 million from $86.2 million at the
beginning of the fiscal year.  Trade accounts payable had a corresponding
increase to $49.6 million from $33.5 million at the beginning of the year.  The
increased inventory level is primarily due to (i) normal seasonal fluctuations
in anticipation of the Christmas selling season, (ii) a decision to maintain
warehouse backup stocks for certain items in order to improve store
replenishment and in-stock condition and (iii) management's strategy of
increasing inventories in reaction to certain out-of-stock conditions related to
the startup of the Company's new merchandising system in March.

Net additions to property, plant and equipment of $4.4 million during the first
nine months of fiscal 1999 were related to the opening of two new SuperSports
USA stores, renovations and refurbishment in existing locations and management
information system improvements.

The Company's primary source of liquidity in the first nine months of fiscal
1999 was its credit facility, under which average borrowings were $35.8 million
compared to $41.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998.  Long-term
obligations increased to $48.5 million from $28.7 million at the beginning of
the fiscal 1999 as the Company utilized its credit facility to meet its seasonal
working capital requirements. The Company believes that its revolving credit
facility together with cash provided by operations will be adequate to meet
anticipated capital needs for fiscal 1999.


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, and further upgraded all operating systems
software in the last quarter of 1998.  During fiscal 1998, the Company upgraded
its personal computers making them
<PAGE>

year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company implemented its new merchandising
information and inventory management systems in March 1999.

The Company completed a significant upgrade to its financial accounting and
reporting systems software in July 1999, and a minor update to its merchandising
information and inventory management systems software in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999. The Company has substantially completed testing such software, as
well as its timekeeping and point of sale systems.  The Company presently
believes that the Year 2000 issue has 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.

Cumulatively, capital costs of approximately $5.5 million have been incurred for
the purchase and installation of hardware and software related to the year 2000
issue.  Certain other internal costs incurred for work relating to year 2000
matters have not been included in the capital costs and are not tracked
separately by the Company, but such costs are included in the related payroll
costs for its information system group.  The Company does not expect future
expenditures related to the year 2000 issue to be significant.

The Company has completed its review and assessment of its non-information
technology systems, and has contacted vendors to uncover any potential year 2000
problems.  At this time, the Company is not aware of any compliance problems
from its non-information technology systems that could have a material effect on
the Company's operation.

In addition to its internal computer and non-information technology systems, 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.  The Company is continuing to assess the year 2000 compliance of
its major providers of products, services and systems through the use of surveys
and formal communications.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company
can correctly assess the year 2000 readiness of all its major suppliers.  Some
suppliers have not responded to the Company's requests for information.  The
Company is in the process of evaluating the potential effects of non-compliance
by its vendors.   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.

The Company is developing contingency plans for its internal computer and non-
information technology systems, as well as for failure of its key suppliers to
perform.  A team of information systems and other key personnel will be present
at the Company's corporate headquarters during the weekend in which the year
2000 commences to monitor the Company's systems and to detect and fix any
problems that are discovered.  With respect to suppliers, these contingency
plans are being done on a case by case basis for those suppliers that the
Company determines are at a high risk of non-compliance.  These plans may
include booking orders for delivery in advance of January 1, 2000, or finding
alternative suppliers.  The Company has received responses from 70% of its top

100 suppliers of merchandise that they are or expect to become Year 2000
compliant by January 1, 2000.  Those suppliers responding positively account for
approximately 84% of the Company's fiscal 1998 purchases of merchandise for sale
from the top 100 suppliers.  At the present time, the Company believes that it
has or will have on hand adequate inventory and supplies to operate without
material disruption, even in the event of any short term unavailability of
product delivery by the Company's vendors due to the year 2000 problem.  If the
Company's contingency plans are not adequate to address non-compliance by its
computer and non-information technology systems, or by suppliers, this could
have a material adverse effect on the operating results of the Company.
