PART I
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, was incorporated in Delaware
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"/(R)/ or "SuperSports USA"/(R)/.
Since 1990, the Company has developed an innovative, interactive concept in
sporting goods retailing that it is implementing through its SuperSports USA
megastores. The Company has transformed its business by focusing its efforts on
opening and operating SuperSports USA megastores occupying, on average,
approximately 55,000 square feet while reducing its preexisting base of
traditional stores, which currently average approximately 11,000 square feet.
SuperSports USA megastores offer a dominant selection of sporting goods in an
environment featuring a variety of "play areas" that provide customers with the
opportunity to try out sporting goods merchandise. This "play-before-you-pay"
approach encourages customers, with the assistance of qualified sales personnel,
to purchase the equipment that best satisfies their particular needs and desires
while also providing an entertaining shopping experience.
SuperSports USA megastores are organized as a collection of distinctive
sporting goods specialty shops. The merchandising format and layout of each
megastore is designed to lead customers along a path through the store, in and
out of specialty shops that concentrate on specific sporting goods categories
such as in-line skating and skateboarding; skiing and snowboarding; cycling;
golf; tennis and other racquet sports; fitness and exercise equipment; hunting,
fishing, hiking and camping; and team sports such as baseball, softball,
football, basketball, hockey, soccer and volleyball. Each specialty area
merchandises sporting equipment as well as the appropriate apparel in a
department-store style.
At the end of fiscal 1999, the Company operated 42 SuperSports USA stores,
including 37 SuperSports USA megastores ranging in size from approximately
36,000 to 85,000 square feet and five mini SuperSports USA stores, ranging in
size from approximately 20,000 to 32,000 square feet. The mini SuperSports USA
stores include certain "play areas" and merchandise assortments similar to the
megastores, and operate under the name SuperSports USA. At the end of fiscal
1999, the Company also operated 15 traditional stores. Subsequent to the end of
fiscal 1999, the Company sold an owned property in West Los Angeles, California,
and closed the traditional store located there. The Company's stores are
located primarily in medium to large metropolitan areas across the United
States. In fiscal 1999, excluding results from stores closed or targeted to
close, the 42 SuperSports USA stores produced 92% of the Company's retail sales
and approximately 90% of direct store contributions. Since the beginning of
fiscal 1990, the Company has reduced its traditional store base from 193 to 14
(taking into account one store closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2000). See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Store Closings." The Company operates stores
2
<PAGE>
in Texas and California as well as in Arizona, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Utah and Washington.
Oshman's offers a full line of sporting goods equipment, sportswear and
athletic footwear focusing on middle- to high-end products. Nationally
advertised brand name products are featured, along with the Company's own labels
in certain categories. While certain of the Company's primary megastore
competitors employ "every-day-low-price" strategies, the Company is a
promotional retailer. As such, the Company seeks to attract customers into its
stores through advertised price reductions on selected merchandise. The
following table sets forth sales of sporting goods equipment, sports apparel and
footwear as a percentage of net sales during the last three fiscal years.
Percentage of Net Sales

---- ---- ----
Sporting goods equipment 54% 52% 50%
Sports apparel 28% 30% 29%
Footwear 18% 18% 21%
Competition
The market for retail sporting goods is highly competitive, fragmented and
segmented. The Company competes with many different types of retail stores,
including full-line sporting goods chains, specialty footwear stores, warehouse-
format stores, specialty stores, discount and department stores and other stores
with a megastore format. While its stores face competition in individual
markets from a variety of retailers, the Company believes that its greatest
competition is likely to come from other megastore operators and from warehouse-
format operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
maintain or increase its current level of pricing, sales or profitability in
light of such competition, particularly as the Company expands into markets
served by existing competitors or as new competitors enter into the Company's
markets. Furthermore, there is substantial competition from large-format
retailers for prime commercial locations and favorable lease terms that could
adversely affect both the Company's ability to expand and its profitability.
The Company's ability to remain competitive is largely dependent upon its
ability to provide a selection of merchandise that appeals to its customers'
changing desires and that appropriately reflects geographical differences in
seasonality, brands and sports preferences. A failure by the Company to
accurately identify and respond to emerging trends in sports equipment or
athletic footwear, apparel or accessories could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial performance and results of operations.
Several sporting goods retailers currently operate stores with a megastore
format, including some with significantly greater resources than the Company.
In addition, there are other businesses, retailers and otherwise, with
substantially greater resources than the Company that may decide to enter the
sporting goods megastore or warehouse-format retail business. This competition
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

<PAGE>
Transformation Plan
Management believes that changing consumer preferences toward sporting
goods megastores has had a detrimental impact on the Company's existing
traditional stores and will continue to limit their potential in the future. In
response to this trend, the Company has been focusing on opening and operating
its SuperSports USA megastores. During fiscal 1999, the Company closed six
traditional stores. At the end of fiscal 1999, the Company operated 42
SuperSports USA stores, including 37 SuperSports USA megastores and five mini
SuperSports USA stores, and 15 traditional stores. Subsequent to the end of
fiscal 1999, the Company sold a traditional store in Los Angeles, California.
The Company's stores are located primarily in medium to large metropolitan areas
across the United States. Most of the remaining traditional stores are
profitable and no further major traditional store closing program is
anticipated. The Company currently intends to open two additional SuperSports
USA megastores in fiscal 2000 as it continues to focus on its existing store
base and improving its systems and processes. Future store openings are,
however, dependent upon numerous factors including timing of construction and
general market conditions.
Since the beginning of fiscal 1990 the Company has closed or converted 191
traditional stores (including one store closed in the first quarter of fiscal
2000). Changes in the number of stores and square footage during the last ten
fiscal years are summarized below:

Inc.
(c) Stores ranging in size from 19,000 to 32,000 square feet which, over the
last several years, have been opened or converted from enlarged traditional
stores and which operate as SuperSports USA stores.
Site Selection
The Company subjects each potential new store location to extensive
analysis and evaluation, using its in-house staff to work with local real estate
developers and brokers. Sites are selected primarily based on the Company's
evaluation of the potential financial return on its
4
<PAGE>
investment, taking into account internally prepared sales projections, estimated
gross margins and store operating expenses as compared to required capital
expenditures and inventory investments. The Company also utilizes demographic,
geographic and competitive analyses in arriving at its estimates for sales and
gross margin. Oshman's seeks to locate stores in areas that are experiencing a
growth in population and have high concentrations of white-collar workers with
growing families and sufficient financial resources and disposable income to
devote significant spending to leisure and sporting activities. Twelve of the
Company's existing megastores serve as anchors for regional shopping malls and
shopping centers. The Company intends to continue to pursue locations that offer
this desirable marquee status and the associated benefits.
Although the Company realizes certain economies of scale in warehousing,
distribution and advertising through the "clustering" of several stores in one
market (most notably in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and Los Angeles areas),
it has also taken advantage of opportunities to successfully open and profitably
maintain single SuperSports USA megastores in certain markets and intends to
continue to pursue this flexible strategy.
Purchasing and Suppliers
The Company purchases its merchandise directly from a diverse group of
leading domestic and international suppliers, and achieves significant
efficiencies through large quantity purchases. The Company's largest supplier,
Nike, accounted for 11.4%, 16.0% and 17.2% of the Company's total purchases in
fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. No other supplier accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's purchases in any of the last three years.
Distribution and Warehousing
The Company utilizes a centralized distribution system operated through two
distribution centers. One is located in Houston, Texas, and the other is
located in Santa Ana, California. Approximately 92% of the Company's inventory
is shipped through these distribution centers. However, for certain items that
the Company believes require more rapid delivery to stores because of higher
product turnover or other conditions, the Company uses direct delivery from
vendors. Substantially all of the merchandise distributed to Texas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Minnesota and locations east of the Mississippi River flows
through the Company's distribution center located in Houston, Texas. The
Company's distribution center in Santa Ana, California is responsible for
distributing substantially all of the merchandise to the Company's stores in
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Washington.
Management Information Systems
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 year 2000 compliant. In addition, the
5
<PAGE>
Company implemented its new merchandising information and inventory management
systems in March 1999. As a result of these acquisitions and upgrades, the
Company has updated substantially all of its computer systems with hardware and
software designed to accommodate the year 2000 and beyond.
The Company has not experienced any material difficulties relating to the
year 2000 issue, but continues to monitor its computer systems to detect any
difficulties.
Cumulatively, capital costs of approximately $5.0 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 related 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 for its
internal systems.
Seasonal Factors
Oshman's business is highly seasonal, with sales generally higher in the
fourth quarter, peaking in December due to holiday shopping and the purchase of
ski equipment. Any substantial decrease in sales during the fourth quarter
could adversely affect the Company's results of operations. Weather conditions
add to the seasonal nature of the business, particularly with respect to ski
equipment and cold weather apparel. The Company's results of operations may
also fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of seasonal variances and time
and costs associated with selecting, constructing, staffing, stocking and
opening new stores, as well as the timing of promotions. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations."
Trademarks and Service Marks; Other Business
As of January 29, 2000, Oshman's owned approximately 31 trademarks and
service marks that were employed in its advertising and operations. The Company
has registered the "Oshman's" and "SuperSports USA" trademarks. The Company
believes that its marks are, in the aggregate, materially important in its
business and that the "Oshman's" and "SuperSports USA" 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.
Since 1983 the Company has had a licensing agreement and consulting
arrangement with a major Japanese retailer, Ito-Yokado Co., Ltd., that currently
operates five stores in Japan under the Oshman's name. The Company also sells
merchandise to this entity. In fiscal 1997, it entered into a similar agreement
with Samsung Corporation, a major Korean company that operates two stores in
South Korea under the Oshman's name. However, primarily as a result of the
economic difficulties in Asia, the implementation of the agreement with Samsung
Corporation has been deferred until June 2001. Additionally, the sale of
merchandise under the agreement with Ito-Yokado Co., Ltd. declined significantly
in fiscal 1998 and remained flat in 1999.
6
<PAGE>
Oshman's expects the opening of the online sporting goods store at
www.oshmans.com to occur in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company has
entered into a long term agreement with Global Sports Interactive, Inc.
("Global"), pursuant to which Global is developing and will operate the e-
commerce web site for the Company.
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.
Inasmuch as Oshman's is a retailer, backlog is not relevant to its
business. Oshman's does not have contracts subject to renegotiation or
termination and does not conduct any material 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, 2000, Oshman's employed 2,551 people including part-time
employees.
Item 2. Properties.
Oshman's 79,000 square foot general and executive offices are leased by the
Company and located in Houston, Texas. A Houston warehouse and distribution
center occupies approximately 257,000 square feet of leased space in the same
building complex, and the Company also 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. Oshman's owns property in
Houston, Texas. In February 2000, the Company sold the property it owned in Los
Angeles, California.
Substantially all of Oshman's retail stores occupy leased space in modern
structures. As of January 29, 2000, these retail stores occupied an aggregate
of approximately 2,383,000 square feet of floor space under leases expiring at
various dates from 1999 to 2020 (exclusive of renewal options). Traditional
stores on average are comprised of approximately 11,000 square feet, while the
average megastore occupies approximately 55,000 square feet. One traditional
store and one megastore in locations owned by Oshman's occupied an aggregate of
approximately 79,000 square feet of floor space.
Aggregate rentals paid by the Company under all its leases amounted to
approximately $19.3 million during the 1999 fiscal year. Most store leases
provide for rentals that are the greater of a fixed minimum amount 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.

<PAGE>
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. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage that it
believes to be customary in the sporting goods retailing industry.
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, 2000.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Overview
The Company has been in operation since 1931, having been incorporated in
1946 as the successor to a proprietorship founded by J.S. Oshman. After building
a base in Texas, where it is headquartered, the Company expanded into other
states across the Sun Belt, growing from 11 stores in 1970 to 193 stores at the
beginning of fiscal 1990. In fiscal 1990, the Company opened its first two
SuperSports USA megastores. The changing nature of retailing and the new
competitive challenges in the sporting goods sector had started to affect the
results of the Company's traditional stores. Starting in 1990, the Company has
transformed its business by focusing on opening and operating SuperSports USA
megastores occupying, on average, approximately 55,000 square feet, while
reducing its pre-existing base of traditional stores, which currently average
approximately 11,000 square feet. In fiscal 1999, the Company opened megastores
in Auburn Hills, Michigan and Elizabeth, New Jersey. At year-end the Company
operated 42 SuperSports USA stores, including 37 SuperSports USA megastores,
five mini SuperSports USA stores and 15 traditional stores. Subsequent to the
end of fiscal 1999, the Company sold an owned property in West Los Angeles and
closed the traditional store located there. The Company's stores are located
primarily in medium to large metropolitan areas, in Texas and California as well
as in Arizona, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Washington.

Store Closings
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company announced a plan to close
53 of its traditional stores during fiscal 1997. The Company recorded a store
closing provision and asset impairments of $13.6 million to cover lease
termination costs ($5.2 million), employee costs and other incremental store
closing costs ($839,000), inventory adjustments ($6.3 million) and leasehold and
other asset write-offs ($1.3 million). Forty-four of these stores were closed
in fiscal 1997, six in 1998 and one in 1999. The remaining two stores are
expected to continue to operate due to the Company's inability to terminate the
leases on a satisfactory basis.
In addition to the 51 store closings in the group of stores discussed
above, the Company also closed seven stores in 1999, including a megastore and a
mini SuperSports USA store, one store in 1998 and seven stores in fiscal 1997,
including one megastore. These stores were not part of the original group of
53. The company believes that its store closing program is substantially
complete and does not anticipate closing large numbers of additional stores at
this time.
At the end of fiscal 1999, the Company had reserves of approximately $1.2
million, which its management believes are sufficient, to cover estimated
incremental costs associated with anticipated store closings and remaining
obligations from stores previously closed.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a charge of $3.0
million to write down the carrying value of assets in four California
SuperSports USA megastores and two traditional stores located in Texas to fair
value under the requirements of FASB 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. The impairment loss is
related primarily to the California megastores.
High Impact Shoe Department
During 1999, the Company began to convert many of its shoe departments to a
new high impact format. This process, which will be completed in 2000, has
resulted in substantial improvement in sales within these departments.
New Merchandising Management System
During 1999, the Company installed a new merchandise management system.
Conversion difficulties may have adversely affected results, but such problems
have been solved and the Company now believes that the system greatly enhances
its ability to manage its inventory assets.

<PAGE>
Stock Repurchase
On March 27, 2000 the Company announced a stock buyback program whereby up
to 150,000 shares (or 2.6% of the issued and outstanding shares) of its common
stock may be repurchased by the Company. The repurchased shares are to be
reserved for future issuance in connection with employee incentive or stock
option plans.

Fiscal 1999 Compared to Fiscal 1998
Net sales for fiscal 1999 decreased less than 1% to $306.5 million from
$309.1 million in 1998. The net reduction in sales is due to stores closed in
1999 and 1998. Comparable store sales increased almost 1% between years. The
conversion of some stores to the high impact format in the shoe department aided
in this comparable store sales increase. However, unusually warm weather in the
fourth quarter hurt sales in the ski and apparel areas. Gross profit on these
sales remained steady between years.
13
<PAGE>
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 34.3%
in fiscal 1999 compared to 34.4% in fiscal 1998. This decrease is primarily due
to sales growth outpacing selling and administrative expense growth in on-going
stores along with the closing of the more inefficient stores. Selling and
administrative expenses in the overhead area also showed a decrease due to the
capitalization of handling costs during the first few months of the year, but
this decrease was offset by a corresponding decrease in the inventory cap
reclassification.
The Company recorded an impairment loss of $3.0 million in fiscal 1998
related primarily to megastores in the Los Angeles/Orange County, California
area. No such impairment was recorded in 1999. See the disclaimer above under
"Impairment of Long-Lived Assets."
The Company had pre-opening expenses of $722,000 in 1999 which amounted to
0.2% of sales. No pre-opening expenses were recorded in 1998, since the Company
did not open any new stores in that year.
There was no benefit from the store closing provision in 1999, while the
Company did record a benefit of $499,000 in fiscal 1998. At the end of 1999,
management believed that its store closing reserve was adequate.
The major components of miscellaneous income for fiscal 1999 and fiscal
1998 are set out in the table below:

===== ======
Net interest expense for fiscal 1999 was $3.0 million, compared to $3.2
million in fiscal 1998. The decreased interest expense in fiscal 1999 is
primarily related to reduced interest rates and lower average borrowings under
the Company's credit facility.
The income tax benefit in fiscal 1998 included a benefit related to the
refund of prior year income taxes of $686,000. No federal income tax benefit
was recorded relative to the Company's loss before income taxes in 1999 or 1998
due to valuation allowances recorded against the deferred tax assets generated
by the losses.
In fiscal 1999, the Company had a loss of $3.6 million before income taxes
compared to a loss of $2.1 million in fiscal 1998. The net loss in 1999
includes $722,000 in costs related to the opening of two new stores. No new
stores were opened in 1998. Additionally, fiscal 1998 received a net benefit of
$1.6 million from unusual items, including a $3.0 million charge for impairment
of long-lived assets, a $3.9 million gain from sale of real estate and leasehold
interests, and a $686,000 benefit related to refund claims filed for prior year
federal income taxes.

<PAGE>
Fiscal 1998 Compared to Fiscal 1997
Net sales for fiscal 1998 decreased 9.8% to $309.1 million from $342.6
million in 1997. The net reduction in sales is primarily attributable to lost
sales from stores closed in fiscal 1997 and 1998 ($29.2 million) (see the
disclaimer above under "Store Closings") and a comparable store sales decline of
6.1% 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 competition. Additionally, the
relatively soft market in 1998 for footwear and golf equipment, as well as a
weak Christmas selling season in the sporting goods industry, further
contributed to the decline in sales.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 34.2% in fiscal 1998
compared to 34.4% in 1997. Gross margins in the fourth quarter of 1998 declined
approximately 2 points, as a percentage of sales, compared to 1997, primarily as
a result of lower than expected Christmas sales and higher than expected
footwear markdowns.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 34.4%
in fiscal 1998, compared to 34.2% in fiscal 1997. Comparable store selling and
administrative costs, as well as corporate overhead and distribution costs were
reduced approximately $5.1 million in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997.
However, the reductions were not sufficient to overcome the effect of the lower
sales levels.
The Company recorded an impairment loss of $3.0 million in fiscal 1998
related primarily to its megastores in the Los Angeles/Orange County, California
area. See "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets."
The Company had no pre-opening expenses in fiscal 1998 as no new stores
were opened. Pre-opening expenses as a percentage of net sales were 0.4% in
fiscal 1997. Prior to fiscal 1997, the Company's accounting policy with regard
to pre-opening expenses of new stores was that expenses related to stores larger
than 25,000 square feet in size (anticipated to be only SuperSports USA
megastores) would be deferred and amortized over a one year period subsequent to
the store opening. Effective at the beginning of fiscal 1997, the Company
changed its policy to require that non-capital expenses related to the opening
of new stores, regardless of size, be charged to expense as incurred.
Accordingly, the Company took a charge in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 of
$1.3 million related to pre-opening expenses of megastores opened in fiscal
1996.
Store closing provision was a benefit of $499,000 in fiscal 1998 compared
to a benefit of $836,000 in 1997. The benefit in both years is related to
management's re-evaluation of store closing reserves for lease termination
costs, leasehold and other asset writeoffs and other incremental store closing
costs. See "Store Closings."

1997 are set out in the table below:

------ ------
Total $4,263 $6,046
====== ======
Net interest expense for fiscal 1998 was $3.2 million, compared to $3.7
million in fiscal 1997. Net interest expense in fiscal 1997 includes interest
income of $662,000 related to a Federal income tax refund. The decreased
interest expense in fiscal 1998 is primarily related to reduced interest rates
and lower average borrowings under the Company's credit facility.
The income tax benefits in fiscal 1998 and 1997 include benefits related to
refunds of prior years Federal income taxes of $686,000 and $4.1 million
respectively. In 1998, no Federal Income tax benefit was recorded relative to
the Company's loss before income taxes due to valuation allowances recorded
against the deferred tax assets generated by the losses. No tax expense was
recorded related to 1997 due to the partial utilization of prior net operating
losses, which had been primarily subject to a valuation allowance.
In fiscal 1998, the Company had a loss of $2.1 million before income taxes
and cumulative effect of change of accounting method for pre-opening expenses
compared to income of $2.4 million in fiscal 1997. Significant factors
contributing to the loss in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997 are (i) the
decline in comparable store sales, (ii) the impairment loss in 1998 and (iii)
reduced gains from the sale of real estate and leasehold interests compared to
fiscal 1997, partially offset by (iv) reduced costs related to stores opened in
fiscal 1997.

</TABLE>
During fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, 30.6%, 30.3% and 29.7%, respectively, of
the Company's sales were generated during the fourth quarter. As a result of
the increased sales, the Company's operating results for the fourth quarter
generally exceed the operating income for any other quarter during these fiscal
years. However, this did not occur in fiscal 1998, primarily as a result of a
real estate gain recognized in the second quarter of the year, an impairment
loss recorded in the fourth quarter of the year and a disappointing Christmas
selling season.

Comparable Store Sales
The following table sets forth for the fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997
certain information regarding the percentage increase (decrease) in comparable
store sales for comparable 52 week periods.
Fiscal 1999
---------------------------------------------------
First Second Third Fourth Fiscal Fiscal
Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter Year 1998 1997
--------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ---------- ---------
0.0% (1.5)% 3.5% 1.7% 0.9% (6.1)% (3.7)%
Management attributes the increase in comparable store sales to several
factors including improved performance in footwear in stores where high impact
shoe departments have been installed. However, these increases were partially
offset by unusually warm winter weather which adversely affected the sales in
the ski and apparel areas.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In fiscal 1999, operating activities used cash totaling $4.3 million. The
primary uses of cash were increases in inventories of $7.2 million and a
decrease in trade accounts payable of $3.4 million. These uses were partially
offset by an increase in accrued liabilities of $5.5 million. Investing
activities used cash of $4.5 million due to the purchase of $6.6 million of
property, plant and equipment which were offset by developer provided funds of
$2.0 million. Financing activities provided $8.8 million, mainly through
utilization of the Company's credit facility.
Merchandise inventories increased 9.3%, to $94.2 million at the end of
fiscal 1999 from $86.2 million at the end of fiscal 1998. With the transition
to a new merchandise management system now completed, the Company expects the
system to improve inventory productivity and inventory should decrease.
Additions to property, plant and equipment were $6.6 million in fiscal
1999. The Company opened two new stores during the year and expenditures
related to these openings were approximately $1.6 million. Approximately $2.3
million was used for computer hardware and software, including expenditures for
new merchandising systems software, network upgrades and store radio frequency
installation. About $2.7 million was used for various store, warehouse and
administrative renovation and refurbishment projects including the installation
of the high impact shoe departments.
On August 31, 1992, the Company entered into an agreement providing for a
three-year, $32.5 million 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 credit agreement includes
various restrictions, requirements and financial covenants. During 1996, the
agreement was amended to increase the revolving line of credit to $65.0 million,
with a further seasonal increase to $80.0 million during the period from mid-
September through mid-December each year. In addition, the Company may, at its
option, increase the line of credit by an additional $5.0 million.
18
<PAGE>
In fiscal 1998, the agreement was amended to among other things, reduce interest
rates under the agreement and to extend the term of the agreement until August
31, 2001. As of January 29, 2000, the Company was in breach of two of its
financial covenants, but has subsequently obtained a waiver from CIT and is no
longer in breach of any covenants.
The Company's primary source of liquidity in fiscal 1999 was the Company's
credit facility, under which average borrowings during the year were $37.9
million. Because of the seasonal nature of its business and the build up in
inventory for the Christmas shopping season, the amount of outstanding
borrowings and letters of credit under the Company's credit facility is
typically highest in November and reached $56.1 million in November 1999. At
January 29, 2000, the Company had recorded debt with respect to its credit
facility of $37 million and had outstanding letters of credit (used primarily to
purchase certain of the Company's imported inventory) of $582,000.
The Company believes that its existing revolving credit facilities together
with cash flow from operations will be adequate to meet anticipated capital
needs, including seasonal financing needs for fiscal 2000.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, the financial position of the Company is
exposed to minimal market risk associated with interest rate movements on
borrowings under the Company's credit facility with The CIT Group/Business
Credit, Inc. A one percent increase or decrease in the levels of interest rates
on variable rate debt with all other variables held constant would not result in
a material change to the Company's result of operations.

Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 29, 2000, January 30, 1999
and January 31, 1998
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. As of January 29, 2000, the Company
operated 42 SuperSports USA stores, 37 of which are megastores and 5 of
which are mini-SuperSports USA stores, and 15 traditional stores. Sales in
Texas and California accounted for 57% and 14% of retail sales. 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 1999, 1998, and 1997 ended on January 29, 2000, January 30, 1999,
and January 31, 1998, 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. Use of Estimates
----------------
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
5. 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.

January 29, 2000, January 30, 1999
and January 31, 1998
NOTE A - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
6. Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------
The Company applies SFAS No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires that long-lived
assets that are held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. When it is determined that an asset's estimated
future net cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an
impairment charge must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for the asset
to its estimated fair value. Impairment charges of $3,000,000 were taken in
1998 to reduce the carrying value of certain leasehold improvements and
fixtures to their estimated realizable value.
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.
7. Amortization of Other Assets
----------------------------
Loan acquisition costs are being amortized over the term of the related debt
using the straight-line method.
8. Deferred Rental Allowances
--------------------------
The Company may receive payments from landlords as inducements to sign new
store leases. The construction costs of real property improvements are offset
by this landlord funding. Deferred rental allowances represent payments in
excess of the costs of the real property improvements and are recognized as a
reduction of rent expense over the life of each applicable lease.
9. 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.

10. Pre-opening Expense
-------------------
Effective February 2, 1997, the Company changed the method of accounting for
pre-opening expenses.
Expenses (other than property, plant and equipment) associated with the opening
of new stores are charged to expense as incurred. Previously, the Company
deferred and amortized all direct and incremental expenses related to the
opening of a store over a one-year period subsequent to the store opening. The
Company believes this change is preferable because there is no direct causal
relationship between these expenses and future revenues and it improves
comparability with other companies in its industry. The cumulative effect of
this change on periods prior to January 31, 1998 of $1,299,000 is shown
separately in the consolidated statement of operations.
11. Advertising Costs
-----------------
Advertising costs consist principally of newspaper and television
advertisements and are recorded net of any advertising incentives earned from
vendors. Advertising costs were $9,990,000, $11,376,000 and $14,280,000 in
1999, 1998 and 1997.
12. Store Closing Provision
-----------------------
The Company provides a provision for store closings when the decision to close
a store is made. The provision consists of the incremental costs which are
expected to be incurred, including future net lease obligations, employee costs
and other direct store closing costs. Inventory valuation adjustments, as
necessary, are recorded as additional cost of goods sold and as a direct
reduction to inventory.
13. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Dilutive earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income
available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Stock options may be
potential common shares and are therefore considered in the earnings per share
calculations, if dilutive. The number of dilutive potential common shares is
determined using the treasury stock method.

The Company has an agreement providing for a revolving credit facility with the
CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (CIT). Advances under the facility are based on
a borrowing base formula and subject to certain loan restrictions, 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. During 1998,
CIT amended one ratio covenant to exclude the impairment losses so that the
Company would be in compliance. The Company was in compliance with all other
financial covenants at the end of 1998. As of January 29, 2000, the Company is
in breach of two of the financial covenants, but has subsequently obtained a
waiver from CIT and is no longer in breach of any covenants. Currently, the
revolving line of credit is $65,000,000, with a seasonal increase to $80,000,000
during the period from mid-September through mid-December each year. In
addition, the Company may, at its option, increase the line of credit by an
additional $5,000,000.

In 1998, the Company recorded federal income tax refunds of $686,000, of which
$219,000 plus interest of $3,000 was received by year-end, resulting from the
application of net operating loss carrybacks.
In the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company received federal income
tax refunds of $4,142,000 plus interest of $662,000 resulting from the
application of net operating loss carrybacks. These amounts resulted in tax
benefits recordable in the Company's statement of operations due to the
expiration of the statute of limitations for review of the refunds during 1997.
Approximately $179,000 and $1,652,000 of the tax refunds in 1998 and 1997
relate to the benefit of carrying back net operating losses to periods for
which the tax rates exceeded the current 34% federal income tax rate.

NOTE E - INCOME TAXES - Continued
Deferred tax assets were reduced by valuation allowances of $9,307,000 and
$8,051,000 at January 29, 2000 and January 30, 1999, respectively. Due to the
operating loss carryforwards generated during fiscal 1999 from the Company's
continuing operations, management believes that uncertainties exist such that
it cannot be considered more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax
assets will be realized in the future and therefore have recorded a valuation
allowance against existing net deferred tax assets. In 1999, the Company
increased its valuation allowance by $1,256,000 due to net deferred tax assets
generated during the year.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $26,800,000.

The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers that

Compensation which may be payable under these agreements has not been
accrued in the consolidated financial statements as a change in control, as
defined, has not occurred.
Deferred Compensation Agreement
-------------------------------
The Company has a deferred compensation agreement with an executive officer
under which the officer will receive an estimated annual retirement benefit
of $151,515 after he attains age 65. Payments began in 1998 and will
continue for an additional eight years. This agreement amended a previous
deferred compensation agreement between the Company and the executive
officer, which was funded by a purchased life insurance policy on the life
of the executive. As part of the revised agreement, the Company cancelled
the life insurance policy for the full cash value at the time of
cancellation. If the executive dies before all payments are made, the
remaining payments will be made to his designated beneficiary under the
same payment schedule.
Litigation
----------
Various legal claims have arisen in the normal course of business, which,
in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial statements.
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 shares issued were 5,830,000
and shares outstanding were 5,827,000 at the end of 1999, 1998, and 1997.
Common Stock Option Plans
-------------------------
The Company's 1994 Omnibus Plan authorizes the grant of Incentive Awards
for up to 750,000 shares of common stock to key employees of the Company.
Awards may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, performance units, performance shares or other stock
based awards and certain additional payments in the amount of federal
income taxes payable by a grantee and relating to an award, and are to be
determined by a committee of the Board of Directors.

Stock Option Plan and 1986 Stock Bonus Plan. However, currently
outstanding options and grants under those plans will continue to exist
until they vest and are exercised or expire. No awards are outstanding
under the 1986 Stock Bonus Plan or the 1991 Stock Option Plan at year end.
Additionally, 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.
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. 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.
Restricted Stock Award
----------------------
The Company granted 100,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock
to the Company's current Chief Executive Officer in 1994 pursuant to the
1994 Omnibus Plan. The grantee has no rights as a stockholder with respect
to the restricted shares, including no right to transfer or receive
dividends in most circumstances. Grantee is 100% vested in restricted
shares. Restrictions on the stock end upon retirement or in the event of
death or disability of the grantee, termination by grantee following a
change in control of the Company, termination of grantee by the Company
without cause and termination by grantee for good reason. Additionally,
the grant provides that the Company will pay the grantee the

for compensation resulting from the restricted stock grant. Expense
recorded for the grant was approximately $0, $39,000 and $98,000 in 1999,

FASB Statement 123 Disclosure
-----------------------------
The Company applies APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
stock-based compensation. Had compensation costs been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the method of
FASB Statement 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
1999 1998 1997
-------- --------- -------
Net (loss) income
As reported $(3,630) $(1,351) $5,073
Pro forma (3,917) (1,438) 4,806

Pro forma (.67) (.25) .82
Earnings (loss) per share - diluted
As reported (.62) (.23) .85
Pro forma (.67) (.25) .80
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-
average assumptions used for the grants issued in 1999, 1998 and 1997:
1999 1998 1997
