Thirteen Weeks Ended 8/28/99 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended 8/29/98

    Net sales increased 14.7% to $166.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended
August 28, 1999 from $144.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 29,
1998.  This increase in net sales was primarily attributable to sales from new
stores.  As of August 28, 1999, the number of stores in operation increased
16.4% to 384 from 330 at August 29, 1998.  During the thirteen weeks ended
August 28, 1999, the Company's comparable store sales decreased .6% compared to
the same period in the prior year.  Comparable net footwear sales for the
thirteen weeks ended August 28, 1999 increased approximately 4.1%.  Comparable
net activewear and accessories sales for the comparable period decreased
approximately 15.8%.  Activewear and accessories continue to be negatively
effected by a fashion shift by customers to contemporary non-athletic brands.

    Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended August 28, 1999 was $48.7 million,
an increase of $4.2 million over the thirteen weeks ended August 29, 1998.
During this same period, gross profit decreased to 29.3% of net sales versus
30.8% for the prior year.  Of this 1.5% decrease, .8% was due to an increase in
occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales and 1.1% was due to decreased
margin for products sold partially offset by a .4% decrease in inventory shrink
expense.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million (15.1%)
to $37.0 million (22.3% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended August 28,
1999 from $32.2 million (22.2% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended August
29, 1998.  This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the operating
costs related to operating 54 additional stores at August 28, 1999 versus August
29, 1998.

    Net interest income was $278,000 (.2% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks
ended August 28, 1999, compared to net interest income of  $397,000 (.3% of net
sales) for the thirteen weeks ended August 29, 1998, a decrease of  $119,000.
This decrease was the result of reduced invested cash balances due to the
Company's funding of fiscal 2000 expansion.

    The Company's provision for federal and state income taxes decreased
$663,000 for the thirteen weeks ended August 28, 1999.  The decrease is due to
the decreased level of income before income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended
August 28, 1999, along with a decrease in the effective tax rate to 35.0% for
the thirteen weeks ended August 28, 1999 from 38.0% for the thirteen weeks ended
August 29, 1998.  The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to ongoing tax
planning initiatives.

    Net income decreased 1.8% to $7.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended
August 28, 1999 compared to $7.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 29,
1998.  Diluted net income per share increased 3.3% to $.31 for the thirteen
weeks ended August 28, 1999 compared to diluted net income per share of $.30 for
the thirteen weeks ended August 29, 1998.  Diluted weighted average shares
outstanding were 25,149,000 and 26,541,000 respectively, for the thirteen weeks
ended August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998.  The decrease of 5.2% in diluted
average shares outstanding reflects the repurchase of 1,313,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock through the stock buyback program authorized by the Board of
Directors in September 1998.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended 8/28/99 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended 8/29/98

    Net sales increased 14.1% ($37.0 million) to $298.3 million for the twenty-
six weeks ended August 28, 1999 from $261.3 million for the twenty-six weeks
ended August 29, 1998.  Of this increase, $31.8 million was attributable to a
16.4% increase in the number of stores open (55 stores opened less 1 store
closed) during the period from 330 at August 29, 1998 to 384 at August 28, 1999.
The balance of the increase was due to a $9.5 million increase in net sales from
the 31 stores open only part of the twenty -

                                       8

six weeks of last year, partially offset by a comparable store sales decrease of
2.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 1999. Comparable net footwear
sales for the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 1999 increased approximately
2.3%. Comparable net activewear and accessories decreased approximately 18.2%
for the comparable period. Activewear and accessories continue to be negatively
effected by a fashion shift by customers to contemporary non-athletic brands.
Net sales per square foot decreased to $145 from $166 for the same period of the
prior year. Sales per square foot have been negatively impacted by the decrease
in activewear sales along with a 5.6% increase in the average store size from
5,647 square feet at August 29, 1998 to 5,966 square feet at August 28, 1999.

    Gross profit for the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 1999 was $85.8
million, an increase of $6.1 million over the twenty-six weeks ended August 29,
1998.  During this same period, gross profit decreased to 28.8% of net sales
versus 30.5% for the prior year.  Of this 1.7% decrease, 1.5% was due to an
increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales.  Additionally, margin
for product sold decreased .4%, however it was offset by a .2% decrease in
inventory shrink expense.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.1 million (17.2%)
to $68.7 million (23.1% of net sales) for the twenty-six weeks ended August 28,
1999 from $58.6 million (22.4% of net sales) for the twenty-six weeks ended
August 29, 1998.  This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the
operating costs related to operating 54 additional stores at August 28, 1999
versus August 29, 1998.

    Net interest income was $564,000 (.2% of net sales) for the twenty-six weeks
ended August 28, 1999, compared to net interest income of $887,000 (.3% of net
sales) for the twenty-six weeks ended August 29, 1998, a decrease of $323,000.
This decrease was the result of reduced invested cash balances due to the
Company's funding of fiscal 2000 expansion.

    The Company's provision for federal and state income taxes decreased $2.2
million to $6.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 1999 from $8.4
million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 29, 1998.  The decrease is due to
the decreased level of income before income taxes for the twenty-six weeks ended
August 28, 1999, along with a decrease in the effective tax rate to 35.0% for
the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 1999 from 38.0% for the twenty-six weeks
ended August 29, 1998.  The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to ongoing
tax planning initiatives.

    Net income decreased 15.9% to $11.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended
August 28, 1999 compared to $13.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August
29, 1998.  Diluted net income per share decreased 9.8% to $.46 for the twenty
six weeks ended August 28, 1999 compared to diluted net income per share of $.51
for the twenty six weeks August 29, 1998.  Diluted weighted average shares
outstanding were 25,173,000 and 26,523,000, respectively, for the periods ended
August 28, 1999, and August 29, 1998.  The decrease of 5.1% in diluted average
shares outstanding reflects the repurchase of 1,313,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock through the stock buyback program authorized by the Board of Directors in
September 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company generated cash of $20.2 million from its operating activities
during the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 1999 as compared to $22.4 million
during the twenty-six weeks ended August 29, 1998.

    The Company had a net use of cash from its investing activities of $9.0
million and $14.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 1999 and
August 29, 1998, respectively.  In fiscal 2000, $10.8 million was used primarily
for construction of new stores and remodeling of existing stores.  This was
partially offset by a $1.7 million net maturities of marketable securities.

                                       9
<PAGE>

    The Company had working capital of $116.2 million at August 28, 1999, an
increase of $9.5 million from the working capital of $106.7 million at February
27, 1999.

    At August 28, 1999 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $34.5
million and short-term marketable securities of $1.5 million and no interest
bearing debt.  Cash equivalents are primarily invested in tax exempt instruments
with maturities of one to twenty-eight days.  Short-term marketable securities
range in maturity from 90 - 365 days from date of purchase and are primarily
invested in tax exempt municipal obligations.  In addition, the Company held
long-term marketable securities of $14.7 million at August 28, 1999.  Long-term
marketable securities are primarily invested in tax exempt municipal obligations
with maturities ranging from one to five years.

    In addition to the cash and marketable securities, the Company has a
$75,000,000 revolving line of credit which expires July 2003. The line of credit
contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the Company's
ability to declare or pay dividends, incur or guarantee debt, redeem shares of
its capital stock, be a party to a merger, acquire or dispose of assets or
engage in any other transactions outside the ordinary course of business. At
August 28, 1999 the Company had no borrowings under the line and is in
compliance with all restrictive covenants.

    Merchandise inventories were $153.8 million at August 28, 1999 compared to
$135.3 million at February 27, 1999 and $131.1 million at August 29, 1998.  On a
per square foot basis, merchandise inventories at August 28, 1999 decreased 4.6%
compared to August 29, 1998.  The Company believes present levels are
appropriate for the selling season.

    The Company's previously announced expansion plans are to increase its
retail square footage by approximately 17% for fiscal 2000.  Management believes
that cash on hand, operating cash flow and the Company's existing bank facility
will provide sufficient capital to complete the Company's fiscal 2000 store
expansion program and to satisfy the Company's other capital requirements
through fiscal 2000.

Year 2000 Readiness

The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Such software and
devises with embedded technology may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in system failures or
miscalculations leading to disruptions in the Company's operations, including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, receive
inventory from suppliers, ship inventory to stores, or engage in similar
business activities.

The Company's year 2000 Plan (Plan) is being completed in four phases as it
relates to IT systems, non-IT systems and third party suppliers, vendors and
service providers ("Third Parties").  The four phases include inventory and
assessment; remediation; testing; and contingency planning.

The Company has undertaken initiatives to ensure that its information technology
(IT) systems and non-IT systems will function properly with respect to dates in
the year 2000 and thereafter.  IT systems include hardware, accounting, data
processing,  and telephone systems, cash registers, hand-held terminals,
scanning equipment, and other miscellaneous systems.  Non-IT systems include
alarm systems, time clocks, fax machines, material handling equipment,
sprinklers, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems.

To date the Company has substantially completed the first three phases of the
Plan as it relates to substantially all IT and non-IT systems.  The Company
utilizes commercially available packaged software to support the majority of its
application needs.  A majority of such packages have been represented by the
respective vendors as year 2000 compliant. Testing to date has confirmed this.
Contingency planning as necessary is ongoing and is expected to be complete by
October 1999.

                                       10

Risks

The Company believes that Third Parties represent the area of greatest risk to
the Company including the potential failure of mall utilities and failure of
merchandise vendor production facilities.  This is due to the Company's limited
ability to influence actions of the Third Parties, and because of the Company's
inability to estimate the level and impact of noncompliance of Third Parties in
some instances.  Material Third Parties have been identified and the Company has
opened communication with them in regards to the year 2000 issue. Correspondence
has been sent to material Third Parties and the Company has received return
correspondence from a large majority stating that they expect to be year 2000
compliant in 1999. The Company plans to perform follow-up inquiries with non-
responding Third Parties and develop contingency plans by October 1999 if
necessary.

The Company purchased 56% of its merchandise from Nike in fiscal 1999 and
expects merchandise purchases in fiscal 2000 to continue at a significant level.
Nike has publicly stated that a substantial number of their significant
suppliers and customers have not responded to Nike's surveys or provided
assurance of their year 2000 readiness or have not responded with sufficient
detail for Nike to determine their year 2000 readiness.  The Company will
continue to monitor this situation and will work with Nike, if necessary to
develop contingency plans.

A majority of the products purchased by the Company from Nike and its other key
vendors are sourced in Asia.  From the Company's review and through third party
sources, including key vendor disclosures, the Company believes that the Asian
factories which produce these products have limited year 2000 exposure due to
the limited amount of automation.  The Company does however have concerns
regarding infrastructure in Asia such as electric power and telecommunications.
Such failures could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of
operations, liquidity, and financial condition.

Costs

Costs related to the year 2000 issue are funded through operating cash flows.
The Company has not incurred significant historic costs related to the year 2000
issue as systems have been upgraded as part of the Company's growth and normal
maintenance routines.  Through August 28, 1999 the Company had expended
approximately $125,000 in remediation efforts, including the costs of new
software and modifying the applicable code of existing software.  The Company
has expensed the majority of these costs to date.  The Company estimates the
remaining of such costs to be less than $25,000.

Although the Company anticipates no material business disruption will occur as a
result of the year 2000 issue, the year 2000 issue is unique and the failure to
correct a material year 2000 issue could result in an interruption, or a failure
of, certain normal business activities or operations, such as loss of
communications with store locations, inability to process transactions,
inability for malls to operate, and the disruption of the supply of product and
distribution channel.  Such failures could materially and adversely affect the
Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Due to
general uncertainty inherent in the year 2000 problem, resulting primarily from
the uncertainty of the year 2000 readiness of Third Parties, the Company is
unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of year 2000 failures
will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or
financial condition.

The above section, even if incorporated by reference into other documents or
disclosures, is a year 2000 Readiness Disclosure as defined under the Year 2000
Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 1998.
