NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The operating results for the period ended November 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's annual report or Form 10-K for the year ended February
28, 1999.
NOTE 2.
As of March 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 130 Report Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"). Statement 130
establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components; however, the adoption of this statement had no impact on the
Company's net income or shareholders' equity. Statement 130 requires the
Company's foreign currency translation, which prior to adoption was reported
separately in shareholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive
income.
During the quarters ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, total comprehensive loss
amounted to $($393,073) and ($405,940) respectively. During the nine-month
period ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, total comprehensive loss amounted to

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales. Net sales were $9.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, an
increase of 27% over the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999 when sales were $7.6
million. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were $30.9 million,
compared to $31.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, a decrease
of 3%. In-line skate sales volume increases combined with an increase in the
overall average selling price of in-line skates lines were the principal factors
in the Company's net sales improvement in the third quarter fiscal 2000. The
slight decline in net sales for the nine month period is the result of an
increase in net sales of the Company's Ultra Wheels and Hespeler brands being
offset by a greater decrease in sales of the Company's Skate Attack brand.
The Company's product groups consist primarily of in-line skates; in-line
accessories and parts (primarily protective wear and replacement wheels and
bearings); ice hockey sticks and ice hockey protective wear and accessories.
Within the product groups, the Company maintains Ultra Wheels, Skate Attack,
Heavy and Third World in-line product lines and a Hespeler ice hockey line. The
Ultra Wheels, Heavy and Third World lines consist of higher quality and higher
priced products that are targeted for the specialty and sporting goods chain
store customers. The Skate Attack line consists of lower priced products for the
mass merchant customers. The Hespeler ice hockey line consists of high quality
products that are targeted primarily at the specialty and sporting goods chain
stores.
A breakdown and analysis of the Company's net sales by main product lines is as
follows:

</TABLE>
Several factors contributed to the Company's sales performance in the third
quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2000. The increase in net sales in the
third quarter was primarily in the domestic sales, and is the result of
increased product placements with the large national sporting goods chains ("big
box" retailers) and the independent local and regional sporting goods chains.
The decrease in net sales for the nine-month period was due to sales decreases
of the Company's in-line products, primarily in Europe. The slight decrease in
North America was the result of a loss of product placements with mass merchant
distribution channels. This reflects a continuation of mass merchant reduction
in branded selections as well as a continued decline in the average price of
in-line skates. The decrease in European sales was primarily the result of
continued competitive pressures in the European in-line skate market and in-line
skate customers continuing to buy direct from Pacific Rim manufacturers. The
increase in the sales of the Hespeler Hockey brand was primarily due to the
growing acceptance of the brand in both the US and Canadian markets.
While the Company believes there are some positive signs that market conditions
in the in-line industry are improving and that the Company is improving its
market share, both the national and international markets continue to be very
competitive and under extreme price competition.
<PAGE>
Gross Margin. As a percentage of net sales, the gross margin was 25% in the
third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 26% in the third quarter of fiscal
1999. The gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the nine-month period of
fiscal 2000 was 28%, compared to 5% for fiscal 1999.
The slight decrease in the gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was
primarily due to certain increased freight costs associated with holiday
shipments, which resulted from manufacturing delays caused by various Far East
weather situations.
The increase in the gross margin for the nine-month period is primarily due to
an increase in the percentage of Ultra Wheels skate sales versus Skate Attack
skate sales and an increase in the percentage of total sales related to Hespeler
products. During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company conducted a
thorough review of its in-line business and as a result the Company wrote down
certain inventories. The total amount of the writedown was approximately $6
million, which was reflected as a charge against cost of goods, resulting in a
significant margin reduction for the nine-month period in fiscal 1999 from 22%
to 5%. The major inventory reduction was in the Company's unfinished/component
parts inventory. As a result of the Company's restructured production
philosophy, the Company shifted the majority of its in-line skate production to
offshore sources in an effort to reduce product costs.
The Company's Ultra Wheels brand accounted for approximately 60% and 66%,
respectively, of total net sales in the third quarter and for the nine month
period of fiscal 2000 compared to 37% and 45%, respectively, in fiscal 1999. The
Company's Skate Attack brand accounted for 23% and 15%, respectively, of total
net sales in the third quarter and for the nine month period of fiscal 2000
compared to 42% and 40%, respectively, in fiscal 1999. The Hespeler brand
accounted for approximately 17% and 19%, respectively, of total net sales in the
third quarter and for the nine-month period of fiscal 2000 compared to 21% and
15%, respectively, in fiscal 1999.
Operating Expenses. Selling expenses were $943,000, or 9.9%, of total net sales
in the third quarter and $3.2 million, or 10.3%, of total net sales for the
nine-month period of fiscal 1999 compared to $846,000, or 11.2%, in the third
quarter and $3.6 million, or 11.4%, for the nine-month period of fiscal 1999.
The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales in both the third
quarter and nine-month period was primarily the result of a reduction in
advertising and trade show costs and of management's efforts to control
expenditures. The increase in the absolute dollar amount of selling expenses for
the third quarter of fiscal 1999 is primarily the result of an increase in
commissions and royalties associated with the increased sales volume.
General and administrative expenses were $1.9 million, or 20.2%, of total net
sales in the third quarter and $5.9 million, or 19.2%, of total net sales for
the nine-month period of fiscal 2000 compared to $1.8 million, or 23.7%, in the
<PAGE>
third quarter and $5.8 million, or 18.1%, for the nine-month period of fiscal
1999. The slight increase in the absolute dollar amount of the general and
administrative expenses for both the third quarter and the nine-month period was
primarily due to increased insurance and personnel costs. The decrease in
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in the third
quarter was primarily due to the increase in the Company's sales volume versus
the generally fixed nature of certain general and administrative expenses.
In fiscal 1997 the Company purchased a new software system and appropriate
computer hardware. As part of the Company's selection process, the ability to
recognize the year 2000 was a major requirement and thus the company was
prepared for the change. The Company has not incurred any material issues
related to the year 2000 on the Company's computerized information systems and
has not incurred any material problems with vendors and/or customers not being
ready. Based on current information, costs of addressing any potential or future
problems are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $274,000 in the third quarter and
$714,000 for the nine-month period of fiscal 2000 compared to $179,000 in the
third quarter and $860,000 for the nine-month period of fiscal 1999. The
increase in interest expense for the third quarter is primarily due to the
interest expense related to the Company's line of credit facility. During the
third quarter, the Company entered into a new credit facility and mortgage note,
which resulted in some additional interest expenses. For the nine-month period,
the interest expense decrease is primarily related to the Company's line of
credit facility. The Company has continued to closely manage its cash flows,
which has resulted in a decrease in the average outstanding balance on the
Company's line of credit facility for the nine-month period of fiscal 2000 as
compared to the same period of fiscal 1999.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 38.7% and
30.6%, respectively, in the third quarter and the nine month period of fiscal
2000 compared 29.1% and 33.2%, respectively, in the third quarter and nine month
period of fiscal 1999. The slight changes in fiscal 2000 were primarily due to
the effect of state and foreign tax rates, the percentage of state and foreign
revenues and the level of pre-tax income/(loss).
Net Loss. The Company had a net loss of ($453,000), or ($.08), per share in the
third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to a net loss of ($577,000), or ($.10),
per share in fiscal 1999. The Company had a net loss of ($797,000), or ($.14),
per share for the nine month period of fiscal 2000 compared to a net loss of
($5.9), million or ($1.01), per share in fiscal 1999. The improvement in
financial results for the third quarter can be attributed to an increase in the
sales volume and management's control over expenses, as discussed above. The
improvement for the nine-month period can be attributed also to the increase in
the gross margins, as discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In the first nine months of fiscal 2000 the Company's operations provided $1.5
million of cash compared to $7.3 million in the nine-month period of fiscal
1999. The net cash provided by operations in fiscal 2000 was primarily the
result of income tax refunds and a reduction of receivables. The large amount of
cash provided by operations in the prior year was the result of the Company's
conversion of old inventory to cash through bargain sales.
<PAGE>
Net cash used in investing activities was $147,000 in the nine-month period of
fiscal 2000 compared to $566,000 in the nine-month period of fiscal 1999. The
use of cash for this activity was primarily attributable to expenditures
relating to new computer and production equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $432,000 in the nine-month period of
fiscal 2000 compared to $7.1 million in the nine-month period of fiscal 1999.
The use of cash for this activity was primarily to reduce the Company's line of
credit facility and long term debt obligations. Effective September 8, 1999, the
Company entered into a new financing package. This package included a new
operating credit line and a refinancing of the Company's mortgage note.
The Company's debt to worth ratio was .6 to 1 as of November 30, 1999, the same
as it was as of February 28, 1999 and as of November 30, 1998. The Company's
long-term debt, which consists primarily of a mortgage note on the Company's
facility and obligations under endorsement license agreements, less current
maturities, was $5.8 million as of November 30, 1999. As of November 30, 1999
the Company had a revolving line of credit with a bank that provides for
borrowings of up to $10 million, subject to a borrowing base, which is
calculated monthly and updated periodically during each month. The borrowing
base is based on a percentage of eligible receivables and inventories. As of
November 30, 1999, the borrowing base was $9.9 million, of which $2.3 million
was outstanding. In connection with this credit facility, the Company agreed,
among other things to maintain certain minimum financial ratio and income
levels.
The Company believes its current cash position; funds available under existing
bank arrangements and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to
finance the Company's operating requirements.
Certain statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward looking, based on
current expectations, and actual results may differ materially. These forward
looking statements, in particular the statements regarding market conditions in
the in-line skate industry and the sufficiency of the Company's capital
resources, involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including (1) the size
and strength of competing manufacturers of in-line stakes, (2) the level of
excess inventories and degree of price competition in the in-line skate market,
(3) the Company's dependence on certain key customers, (4) the effect of adverse
weather conditions and overall economic conditions on the in-line skate market,
and (5) the ability of the Company to generate profits in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk. The Company's sales and results of operations are subject to
foreign currency fluctuations. The Company's foreign operations are in countries
with fairly stable currencies, therefore, the effect of foreign currencies has
not been significant. The Company limits its exposure to translation gains and
losses by maintaining and controlling its foreign cash flows when possible, thus
reducing such exposure.
