NOTE 3.   NOTE PAYABLE, BANK

The Company's credit facility consists of a $15,000,000 asset based

as defined in the agreement. At September 30, 1997 $11,906,596 was
outstanding under the revolver with $2,252,536 in outstanding letters
of credit. The revolving credit facility is payable upon demand and is

personal guaranty by the sole shareholder of the Company.  The revolving
credit facility is subject to certain covenants including the maintenance of
prescribed amounts of net worth and leverage ratios.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                                


On February 7, 1997, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with
the bank requiring the Company to obtain new financing by March 31, 1997.
This refinancing was not successfully completed by March 31, 1997,
therefore, the bank provided a further extension through April 18, 1997.

On June 4, 1997, the Company obtained an extension through November 30, 1997
to allow the Company time to obtain new financing.  The terms of the
extension provided for a seasonal increase of the credit line of up
to $5.75 million, with seasonal advances of up to $5.2 million in excess of
the collateral value as defined by the bank.  In consideration for these
conditions, the interest rate on the borrowing under this facility increased
to prime plus 2 1/4% for the first thirty days ended June 30, 1997,
increasing 1% per month through the termination date of the loan
(November 30, 1997).  In addition, the bank obtained the shareholder's
guaranty of the debt and placed certain additional financial covenants on
the Company.  See Note 5 for the subsequent refinancing of this credit line.

Interest expense related to the existing revolving credit facility was
$1,021,536 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
 

NOTE 4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company subleases a portion of its facility to RYKA at a rate of
approximately $4,000 per month.  Rental income pursuant to the sublease
was $35,625 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

The Company has advanced certain funds to RYKA on a temporary basis in the
ordinary course of business and RYKA has advanced certain funds to the
Company.  Such amounts are included in the balance sheet as either a current
asset due from affiliate or a current liability due to affiliate.

In connection with the subordinated note receivable from RYKA
(originally $851,440), the Company recorded interest income of
$59,974 and $47,575 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  On April 21, RYKA repaid $385,000 of the subordinated note
receivable; therefore, the balance outstanding as shown in the accompanying
balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 was $466,440.


NOTE 5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Refinancing

On November 20, 1997 the Company entered into an agreement with a new lender
for a revolving line of credit of $20,000,000, availability on which is
based on a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory.  The term of the
loan is 5 years and has an interest rate choice of prime plus 1/4% or
LIBOR (Adjusted Eurodollar  Rate) plus 2.75%. The new lender has consented to
the reorganization and merger as described below.

Reorganization and Merger

On December 15, 1997, the Company completed a reorganization of its
affiliated companies and merged into RYKA as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The combined entity subsequently changed its name to Global Sports, Inc.

                           RYKA INC. 
                              AND
         KPR SPORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND AFFILIATES

       UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION




  The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the 
reorganization of RYKA Inc. ("RYKA") and KPR Sports International, Inc. and 
Affiliates ("KPR") on December 15, 1997.  Refer to Item 2 of the Form 8-K 
dated December 30, 1997 for more information on the transaction.  The 
following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the
reorganization as if it had occurred on September 30, 1997.  The following 
unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 give effect to the reorganization as if it had occurred 
January 1, 1997.  The pro forma financial information is based on the 
historical financial statements of RYKA and KPR after giving effect to the
reorganization using the purchase method of accounting and assumptions and 
adjustments deemed appropriate by management, certain of which are described in 
the accompanying notes to the pro forma combined financial statements.

  The pro forma combined financial information does not purport to represent 
what the combined company's results of operations and financial position 
actually would have been had the reorganization occurred on the dates 
specified, or to project the combined company's results of operations or 
financial position for any future period or date.  The pro forma adjustments 
are based upon available information and certain adjustments that management 
believes are reasonable.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments have 
been made that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data.  The pro 
forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the 
separate audited historical financial statements of RYKA Inc. and the
notes thereto set forth in RYKA's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the 
historical financial statements of KPR and the notes thereto set forth 
in Item 7(a) of this Form 8-K/A.

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1.     GENERAL 

The historical cost of assets and liabilities recorded by RYKA as of the
date of the reorganization equals fair value.  An independent valuation has
been performed to identify and value intangible assets (patents and
trademarks).  The value of such intangibles are included in these pro forma
financial statements.  These intangibles will be amortized over ten years.
The remainder of the purchase price will be allocated to goodwill.

RYKA has authorized the issuance of stock warrants to athletes endorsing its
products contingent upon the consummation of the reorganization.  The
pro forma results of operations do not give effect for the resolution of
the contingent stock warrants issued to athletes endorsing KPR products
as the adjustment is considered to result directly from the reorganization
and will be included in the results of operations of RYKA within twelve months
following the reorganization. 

There are no undistributed earnings in KPR to distribute to the shareholder
upon the termination of KPR's status as an S-Corporation.

The termination of KPR's status as an S-Corporation does not give rise to
deferred taxes which require recording.

RYKA has entered into an agreement with an employee which stipulates that
upon the date of the reorganization, RYKA will grant such employee a
five-year option to purchase 30,000 shares of RYKA Common Stock at an
exercise price equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of the grant or $8.00 per share.
In the event the fair market value of the underlying shares is greater
than $8.00 per share on the grant date, RYKA will recognize compensation
expense equal to the number of shares multiplied by the amount the fair
value exceeds $8.00.  Fair market value at December 15, 1997 (the date
of the reorganization) was $3.20 per share, after giving effect to
RYKA's 20:1 reverse stock split.

Number of RYKA shares outstanding at merger date               66,367,100  
Fair value per share as determined by an independent
valuation                                                    x    $0.14 *
Percentage of RYKA not already owed by KPR                   x     67.8 %
                                                            --------------
                                                               $6,299,565 

Above share and per share amounts do not give effect for the proposed
1-for-20 reverse stock split.
 _____________________________

*    This amount is discounted 25% from the current value of RYKA stock for
     the following reasons:
   1. Recent purchases of large blocks of RYKA common stock sold at a 25%
      discount from the trading price of the stock.
   2. The shares to be issued in connection with the reorganization also
      represents a large block of RYKA stock.
 _____________________________

 (1)  eliminates KPR's investment in RYKA;
 (2)  records identified intangible assets (patents and trademarks) of RYKA
      which were valued by an independent valuation.  Amount recorded is
      limited to the percentage RYKA was not already owned by KPR;
 (3)  records goodwill and intangible assets;
 (4)  eliminates RYKA's historical accumulated deficit;
 (5)  eliminates KPR's common stock;
 (6)  creates treasury shares due to RYKA's acquisition of KPR, which owned
      RYKA shares prior to the reorganization.  Treasury shares are valued
      at KPR's original cost;
 (7)  eliminates KPR's treasury shares;
 (8)  records issuance of 142,000,000 shares to MR; and
 (9)  records adjustment to additional paid in capital for above.

(d)   To record the effects of the resolution of the contingency surrounding
      the issuance of contingent stock purchase warrants to athletes endorsing
      KPR products.  Such stock purchase warrants will be issued with the
      exercise price equal to the market value of the stock immediately after
      the reorganization ($3.20 per share as of December 15, 1997, after
      giving effect to RYKA's 20:1 reverse stock split occuring on the same
      date).  An independent valuation concludes that the value of such
      warrants issued to non-employees is $347,000.  Such amount will be
      included in the results of operations of RYKA at the time they are
      issued.

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 3.     PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS ADJUSTMENTS

(e) Upon the consummation of the transaction, the subordinated shareholder's
    advance will no longer be non interest bearing, but will bear interest at
    the prime lending rate.  This adjustment records such interest at 8.375%.
    A variance of 1/8% in the rate used would increase or decrease this
    adjustment by approximately $4,400.  

(f) To eliminate the equity in the net loss of RYKA which had been recorded
    KPR as a result ofits equity ownership of RYKA.  

(g) To eliminate intercompany transactions.

(h) To record the effect of the amortization expense related to the goodwill
    that was recorded in relation to the reverse acquisition
    ($4,074,746 amortized over 10 years).  Also to record amortization of
    intangibles  ($1,762,800 amortized over 10 years).  RYKA's accounting
    policy regarding goodwill and intangibles will be as follows: 

   The cost of goodwill and intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis
   over ten years.  The realizability of goodwill and intangibles are evaluated
   periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to
   recover their carrying amount.  Such evaluation is based on various analyses,
   including undiscounted cash flow and profitability projections that
   incorporate, as applicable, the impact on existing company businesses.  The
   analyses necessarily involve significant management judgment.
