                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors
C.A.S.  Sports International, Inc. and
 C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of C.A.S. Sports
International, Inc. and C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and
the related combined statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of C.A.S. Sports
International, Inc. and C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc. at December 31, 1995, and the
combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
                                        

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The combined financial statements include the accounts of C.A.S. Sports
International, Inc., a Canadian corporation, and C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc., a
U.S. corporation, (collectively, the "Companies"). The Companies are both wholly
owned subsidiaries of Ride, Inc. (the "Parent"). The Companies distribute
snowboards and related products, other sporting goods, and sports apparel to
retailers and wholesalers in the United States and Canada and to international
distributors in several foreign countries.

All intercompany transactions between the Companies have been eliminated. The
functional currency of the Companies is the U.S. dollar. All amounts in the
accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies are
translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.
Revenues, costs, and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at
the time the transaction occurs. Adjustments resulting from foreign exchange
transactions are recorded in the combined income statement.

The Companies enter into foreign currency futures and forward contracts,
generally with terms of 270 days or less, as a hedge against some of its foreign
currency commitments. Offsetting gains and losses on these contracts are
recognized concurrently with the exchange gains and losses stemming from the
associated commitments. The Companies are exposed to certain losses in the event
of nonperformance by the counter parties to the futures contracts. The
Companies' exposure, however, is not considered significant.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CASH EQUIVALENTS

All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Companies perform ongoing credit evaluations of their customers. Based on
the Companies' assessment of credit risk, sales in the United States and Canada
are made on a letter of credit basis, open credit, C.O.D, cash in advance, or by
postdated check. International sales are generally made on a cash in advance or
letter of credit basis. Sales to one customer accounted for approximately 17% of
net sales during 1995.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost
or market using the first-in, first-out method.

EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

Depreciation of office furniture and equipment is computed using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful
life of the asset or the term of the related lease.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method. The
Company periodically reviews the carrying value of goodwill to determine if the
facts and circumstances suggest that the value may be impaired.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when the products
are shipped to customers.

INCOME TAXES

The Companies file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with the
Parent. The Companies' income tax provision has been prepared as if they were
filing a separate U.S. income tax return in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under
Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the tax rates that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the assets' carrying amounts. The Company will adopt Statement No. 121 in
1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect of
adoption will be significant..

2. GOODWILL

In August 1994, the Companies were acquired by the Parent. At that time, the
Parent's basis in the Companies' net assets, including goodwill, was pushed down
to the separate financial statements of the Companies.  During 1995, the Parent
incurred $42,319 of additional costs in relation to its 1994 acquisition of the
Companies. These costs have been contributed to capital as additional goodwill
by the Parent.

3. NOTE PAYABLE TO PARENT

The Companies have a note payable to the Parent which accrues interest at 12%
per annum. All principal and accrued interest on the note is due in 2004. During
1995, the Companies recorded approximately $115,000 in interest expense related
to this note.

4. LINE OF CREDIT

The Companies have three available credit facilities with a Canadian bank. The
first facility provides a $1.5 million line of credit for direct advances. The
second facility provides for a $5.5 million line for letters of credit. The
third facility provides for a $435,000 foreign exchange forward contract line.
Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at the bank's prime U.S. lending
rate plus 1%. As of December 31, 1995, the Companies had approximately $728,000
in outstanding import letters of credit drawn against the letter-of-credit
facility. The credit facilities are guaranteed by the Parent.

5. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1995 are attributable to the Companies'
allowance for bad debts.

Significant components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes are as

The Company's effective income tax rate for 1995 varied from the U.S. federal
statutory tax rate as follows:

                U.S. federal statutory tax rate                           34.0%

6. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The Companies recognized approximately $418,000 in gains on foreign currency
forward contracts during 1995. This amount is included in cost of goods sold in
the accompanying statement of operations.

At December 31, 1995, the Companies had open forward contracts to purchase an
aggregate of 4.8 million Deutsche Marks for approximately $3.3 million. Ile
contracts mature from January 1996 through August 1996. The net loss on these
forward contracts as of December 31, 1995 of approximately $15,000 has been
deferred and will be recognized when the related commitments are settled.

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 1995, the Companies borrowed approximately $6.3 million from affiliates
for working capital. Such amounts were repaid during the year. Approximately
$125,000 in interest expense related to these borrowings was incurred during
1995.

An affiliate charges the Companies for warehousing and handling costs related to
inventories held in the United States. During 1995, approximately $10,000 was
paid to the affiliate for these services.

During 1995, the Companies purchased $848,000 in inventories from affiliates.

8. LEASES

The Company is committed under noncancellable operating leases expiring at
various dates through February 1999 for office facilities and equipment. The
leases generally require that the payments of taxes, insurance, and maintenance
are the responsibility of the Company.

Approximate future minimum lease payments for all of the Company's
noncancellable operating leases are as follows:

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    The combined financial statements include the accounts of C.A.S. Sports
    International, Inc. ("C.A.S. International"), a Canadian corporation, and
    C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc. ("C.A.S. Agency"), a U.S. corporation,
    (collectively, the "Companies").  The Companies are both wholly owned
    subsidiaries of Ride, Inc. (the "Parent").  The Companies distribute
    snowboards and related products, other sporting goods, and sports apparel to
    retailers and wholesales in the United States and Canada and to
    international distributors in several foreign countries.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    All intercompany transactions between the Companies have been eliminated.
    The functional currency of the Companies is the U.S. dollar.  All amounts in
    the accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

    These statements have been prepared immediately prior to the sale of the
    "closeout" portion of business to Gen-X Holdings Inc. ("Gen-X") at October
    11, 1996 including prepaid expenses of $96,094 and fixed assets of $187,115
    for consideration of $3,000,000.  The balance of the "branded" product
    business was maintained by the Parent.

    In addition to the purchase of assets above, Gen-X acquired substantially
    all of the inventory on various dates until December 20, 1996 for cash
    consideration.  Gen-X collected substantially all of the accounts receivable
    of the Companies at October 10, 1996 over a period from October 11, 1996 to
    June 30, 1997 and received a collection fee from the Parent equal to 1.75%
    of the balance collected.

    USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
    accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    FOREIGN CURRENCY

    Accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies
    are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet
    date.  Revenues, costs, and expenses are translated at the prevailing
    exchange rate at the time the transaction occurs.  Adjustments resulting
    from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the combined income
    statement.

    The Companies enter into foreign currency futures and forward contracts,
    generally with terms of 270 days or less, as a hedge against some of its
    foreign currency commitments.  Offsetting gains and losses on these
    contracts are recognized concurrently with the exchange gains and losses
    stemming from the associated commitments.  The Companies are exposed to
    certain losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the
    futures contracts.  The Companies' exposure, however, is not considered
    significant.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.  Based on
    the Company's assessment of credit risk, sales in the United States and
    Canada are made on open credit, C.O.D., cash in advance or by post-dated
    cheque.  International sales are generally made on cash in advance or letter
    of credit basis.

    INVENTORIES

    Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and market using the first-in,
    first-out method.

    CAPITAL ASSETS

    Furniture and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using
    the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
    generally five years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser
    of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the related lease.

    GOODWILL

    Goodwill is being amortized over forty years using the straight-line method.
    Goodwill is written down when there has been a permanent impairment in the
    value of unamortized goodwill.  A permanent impairment in goodwill is
    determined by comparison of the carrying value of unamortized goodwill with
    discounted future earnings of the related business.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when the
    products are shipped to customers.

    INCOME TAXES

    The Companies file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with the
    Parent.  The Companies' income tax provision has been prepared as if they
    were filing a separate U.S. income tax return in accordance with Statement
    of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
    Under Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
    based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets
    and liabilities and are measured using the tax rates that will be in effect
    when the differences are expected to reverse.

    UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

    Most entities depend on computerized systems and therefore are exposed to
    the Year 2000 conversion risk, which, if not properly addressed, could
    affect an entity's ability to conduct normal business operations. Management
    is addressing this issue, however, given the nature of this risk, it is not
    possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 Issue affecting the
    Company and those with whom it deals such as customers, suppliers or other
    third parties, will be fully resolved without adverse impact on the
    Company's operations.


2.  CAPITAL ASSETS

    The Company has the following capital assets as of October 10, 1996:

    the Parent's basis in the Companies' net assets, including goodwill, was
    pushed down to the separate financial statements of the Companies.  During
    1995, the Parent incurred $42,319 of additional costs in relation to its

    The third facility provides for $435,000 foreign exchange forward contract
    line.  Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at the bank's prime
    U.S. lending rate plus 1%.  As of October 10, 1996, the Companies had

================================================================================


To the Shareholders of
GEN-X EQUIPMENT INC.:


We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of GEN-X EQUIPMENT INC. as at
September 30, 1997 and the consolidated statement of income and retained
earnings for the period from October 10, 1996 to September 30, 1997.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as at September 30,
1997 and the results of its operations and the changes in its financial position
for the period from October 10, 1996 to September 30, 1997 in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    The consolidated financial statements of Gen-X Equipment Inc. (the
    "Company") include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries:  C.A.S.
    Sports International Inc., C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc., and Gen-X Equipment
    AG.

    The Company is a leading distributor of excess inventories of sports
    equipment and accessories and specializes in acquiring excess inventories of
    snowboards, snowboard boots and bindings, in-line skates, premium sunglasses
    and sports goggles, skateboards, mountain bikes, wakeboards and specialty
    footwear from manufacturers and other suppliers and reselling these products
    to sporting goods retailers worldwide.

    USES OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
    accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY

    Accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies
    are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance
    sheet date.  Revenues, costs of sales and expenses are translated at the
    prevailing exchange rate at the time the transaction occurs.  Adjustments
    resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the
    consolidated income statement.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.  Based on
    the Company's assessment of credit risk, sales in the United States and
    Canada are made on open credit, C.O.D., cash in advance or by post-dated
    cheque.  International sales are generally made on cash in advance or letter
    of credit basis.  Effective with sales made on February 1, 1997 and
    thereafter, the majority of accounts are credit insured with the Export
    Development Corporation of Canada.

    INVENTORIES

    Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and market using the first-in,
    first-out method.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    CAPITAL ASSETS

    Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation
    is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
    of the assets, generally five years.

    Snowboard binding moulds are amortized using the straight-line method over
    four years.

    GOODWILL

    Goodwill is being amortized over forty years using the straight-line method.
    Goodwill is written down when there has been a permanent impairment in the
    value of unamortized goodwill.  A permanent impairment in goodwill is
    determined by comparison of the carrying value of unamortized goodwill with
    discounted future earnings of the related business.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when the
    products are shipped to customers.


2.  ACQUISITIONS

    The Company was formed on October 10, 1996 for the purpose of acquiring the
    shares of C.A.S. Sports International, Inc., and C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc.
    from Ride Inc. for the amount of $3,030,115.  The Company paid cash of
    $1,000,000 to Ride Inc. on closing of the transaction and Ride Inc. took
    back loans payable in the amount of $2,000,000.  Goodwill generated as a
    result of the purchase transaction was determined as follows:


    Purchase price                                         $3,030,115
    Allocated as follows:

ITEM 7. (b) PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information
reflects the Company's acquisition of Gen-X Holdings, Inc. and Gen-X Equipment
Inc. (the "Gen-X Companies") effective May 12, 1998 for an aggregate purchase
price of  $6.8 million plus contingent consideration as described in Item 2 of
the Form 8-K dated May 12, 1998.  This unaudited pro forma financial information
also reflects the reorganization of RYKA Inc. ("RYKA") and KPR Sports
International, Inc. and affiliates ("KPR") consummated on December 15, 1997 as
previously reported in a separate Form 8-K dated thereon.  Refer to Item 2 of
the Forms 8-K filed on December 30, 1997 and May 27, 1998 for more information
on the reorganization and acquisition, respectively.  The following unaudited
pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the reorganization and
acquisition as if they had occurred on March 31, 1998.  The following unaudited
pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
and the three months ended March 31, 1998 give effect to the reorganization and
acquisition as if they had occurred January 1, 1997.  The pro forma financial
information is based on the historical financial statements of RYKA, KPR and the
Gen-X Companies after giving effect to the reorganization and acquisition 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.  For 1997 pro forma income
statement purposes, the Gen-X Companies' historical financial information
represents the period from October 11, 1996 (the inception of Gen-X Holdings,
Inc.) through September 30, 1997 (fiscal period end).

    The pro forma combined condensed 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  and acquisition
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 condensed financial information should be read in
conjunction with the separate audited historical financial statements of the
Company and the notes thereto set forth in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and the historical financial statements of the Gen-X Companies and the
notes thereto set forth in Item 7(a) of this Form 8-K/A.

NOTE 1.  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

A.  In consideration for acquiring the stock of Gen-X Holdings Inc. and it's
    wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company issued 1.5 million shares of it's
    common stock and contingent consideration in the form of noninterest-bearing
    notes and shares of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock in the aggregate
    of $5 million. The notes and shares are payable or redeemable at $1 million
    per year over a 5-year period upon achieving certain sales and gross profit
    targets. In consideration for acquiring the stock of Gen-X Equipment, Inc.,
    the Company issued $1,350,000 of contingent subordinated promissory notes.

B.  The total purchase price, including acquisition expenses of $327,795 but
    excluding the contingent consideration described above, was $6,793,020. This
    purchase price is based on the 10-day average market price of the 1.5
    million shares discounted to reflect that these shares represent a large
    block of the Company's stock. The preliminary purchase price allocation is
    as follows:
