                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
accordance  with the  instructions  for Form  10-Q and,  therefore,  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  material   adjustments   (consisting   of  normal   recurring
adjustments)  considered  necessary for a fair  presentation have been included.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

     The financial  statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the audited
financial  statements  and notes  thereto for the fiscal year ended  January 31,
1997 contained in the Company's Form 10-K dated May 1, 1997.


(2)  Changes in Accounting Principle

     The  Company  elected to change its method of  accounting  for  merchandise
inventories  effective  February 1, 1997. The Company  changed from the lower of
average  first-in,  first-out  (FIFO) cost or market method of accounting to the
lower of cost  (computed  using the FIFO retail  method) or market.  The Company
believes  that the FIFO retail  method  provides  improved  information  for the
operation of its business in a manner  consistent with the method used widely in
the retail  industry.  The  cumulative  effect of the change to the FIFO  retail
method was immaterial.  Proforma  effects of the change for prior periods is not
determinable.


(3)  Subsequent Events

     The Company  completed an  agreement  extending  the  existing  bank credit
facility from May 1998 to May 1999. The agreement also  incorporated  additional
capital expenditure  flexibility allowing the ability to continue with new store
development,  renovation of selected  locations and  completion of upgrading the
Company's infra structure.

     Also,  the  Company  completed  an  additional  $37  million of real estate
financings,  which effectively  lowered the revolving credit facility to a limit
of $235 million from $271 million.

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"),  "Earnings Per Share." SFAS
128 requires  companies with complex  capital  structure that have publicly held
common  stock or common  stock  equivalents  to present  both basic and  diluted
earnings per share ("EPS") on face of the income statement.  The presentation of
basic EPS  replaces  the  presentation  of primary  EPS  currently  required  by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 ("APB No.15"),  "Earnings Per Share."
Basic EPS is calculated as income  available to common  stockholders  divided by
the weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding  during the period.
Dilluted EPS (previously  referred to as fully diluted EPS) is calculated  using
the "if  converted"  method for  convertible  securities  and the treasury stock
method for options and warrants as prescribed  by APB No. 15. This  statement is
effective for financial  statements issued for interim and annual periods ending
after  December 15, 1997.  The Company will adopt FAS 128 for its annual  period
ending January 30, 1998.

Thirteen  Weeks Ended  (First  Quarter) May 2, 1997  Compared To Thirteen  Weeks
Ended April 28, 1996

     The  Company did not open any new stores in its first  quarter  compared to
four new stores in the same quarter last year, ending the quarter with 85 stores
this year compared to 84 stores last year.

     Sales for the first quarter  decreased 9.4% to $130.1 million compared with
sales of $143.7 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Same store sales
for the first  fiscal  quarter  decreased  by 11.6%.  Sales have been  adversely
affected by the following:
     1)   The Company's new information management systems were installed at the
          beginning of the quarter.  There have been significant  disruptions in
          merchandise  flow due to problems  encountered in receiving and making
          product ready to sell at the store level;
     2)   The  Company's  new  centralized  cross-dock  operation  began in late
          November of last year. As the amount of merchandise ordered by the new
          system increased,  the facility became overloaded causing misshipments
          and delays that adversely affected stock levels;
     3)   Certain merchandise categories were further affected.  Outerwear sales
          in the prior year were  substantially  higher due to  clearance  sales
          necessitated by a poor  sell-through  during the  winter-wear  season.
          There was  little  clearance  product  available  for sale this  year.
          Fitness was lower due to fewer new product  introductions and delivery
          problems encountered by certain manufacturers of high demand products;
     4)   Sales were  generally  soft  throughout  the  sporting  goods  retail
          segment;
     5)   Competition  continues to increase.  Seventeen  additional stores this
          year were adversely affected by a new big box competitor.

     Gross profit for the first quarter was $30.7 million, or 23.6% of sales, as
compared to $32.8  million or 22.9% of sales for the first  quarter of the prior
year.  The  primary  difference  in gross  margin  relates to  increased  margin
contributions by the soft goods departments slightly offset by higher buying and
occupancy  costs as a  percentage  of sales.

     Operating  expenses for the first quarter were $27.2 million,  or 20.9%, as
compared to $29.7 million, or 20.7% of sales, for the first quarter of the prior
year.  The increase as a percentage  of sales was  attributable  to increases in
advertising  and  promotion,  primarily  due to the  name  change,  offset  by a
reduction in payroll and payroll related expenses.

     Income from  operations in the first  quarter was $3.5 million,  or 2.7% of
sales, as compared to $3.1 million,  or 2.2% of sales in the same quarter of the
prior year.

     Interest  expense for the first quarter was $5.8 million,  or 4.5% of sales
as compared to $3.7 million, or 2.6% of sales for the first quarter in the prior
year. The increase in interest expense was the result of the following:
     1)   Average debt increased due to refinancing $58 million of tax retention
          operating leases into the revolving credit facility;
     2)   The renegotiated credit facility calls for borrowings at LIBOR plus 2%
          versus  LIBOR  plus 1%  contributing  to an  overall  139 basis  point
          increase in average interest rates;
     3)   Capitalized interest was lower due to less construction activity.

     The  Company's  income tax benefit for the  quarter  was  $834,000  with an
effective tax rate of  approximately  35.7%. The tax benefit was $212,000 in the
same quarter of the prior year with an effective tax rate of 38.0%.

     For the first  quarter  the  Company  posted a net loss of $1.5  million or
(1.2)% of sales,  as compared  to a net loss of $0.3  million or (0.2)% of sales
for the same quarter of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  primary  capital  requirements  have been to support capital
investment for the opening of new stores, to purchase  inventory for new stores,
to meet seasonal working capital needs and to retire indebtedness. The Company's
working capital needs peak in the fourth fiscal quarter.

     Operating  activities  used cash of $4.0 million for the thirteen  weeks of
fiscal  1997 as  compared  to cash used of $4.3  million  for the same period of
fiscal  1996.  The  improvement  was  primarily  due to an  increase in accounts
payable supporting inventory.

     Net cash of $3.9 million was used in investing  activities during the first
thirteen weeks of fiscal 1997 compared to net cash used in investing  activities
during  the first  thirteen  weeks of fiscal  1996 of $3.8  million.  This years
amount was related to the store signage for the name change to  JumboSports  and
maintenance capital spending. In the prior year, the amount related primarily to
the completion of new stores.

     Cash flows from  financing  activities  provided $5.6 million for the first
thirteen  weeks of fiscal 1997  compared to $8.1 million for the first  thirteen
weeks of fiscal 1996.  The decrease in cash provided by financing  activities in
fiscal  1997 was  primarily  due to less  borrowing  activity  of the  Company's
revolving line of credit from the prior year.

     As of May 2, 1997,  the  Company  had $15.7  million  of capital  lease and
mortgage obligations, $74.8 million of 4 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due
2000  outstanding  and had drawn $210.4  million on its $271  million  revolving
credit facility.

     The current credit  facility  limits the amount of capital  expenditures to
$10 million for fiscal 1997. Subsequent to the first thirteen weeks, the Company
extended its revolving  credit facility an additional year to 1999 and increased
the capital  expenditure  limit to $22 million for fiscal 1997.  The Company has
spent $4.4 million through thirteen weeks.

     Management believes its current cash position, along with expected net cash
provided by operating  activities  and its  revolving  credit  facility  will be
sufficient  to  fund  anticipated  capital   expenditures  and  working  capital
requirements for the upcoming year.


Seasonality and Inflation

     The  Company's  business is seasonal in nature,  with its highest sales and
operating profitability historically occurring during the fiscal fourth quarter,
which includes the Christmas  selling season.  The Company recorded 28.0% of its
sales and 52.0% of its income from operations, prior to the inventory write-down
for shrink and obsolete and slow moving  merchandise and non-recurring and other
charges taken in the second  quarter in fiscal 1996.  In the future,  the number
and timing of the opening of new stores may impact this historical trend.

     The Company does not believe that  inflation  had a material  effect on its
results form  operations  for the first  thirteen  weeks of fiscal 1997 or 1996.
There can be no assurance, however, that Company's business will not be affected
by inflation in the future.


Change in Accounting Principle

     The  Company  elected to change its method of  accounting  for  merchandise
inventories  effective  February 1, 1997. The Company  changed from the lower of
average  first-in,  first-out  (FIFO) cost or market method of accounting to the
lower of cost  (computed  using the FIFO retail  method) or market.  The Company
believes  that the FIFO retail  method  provides  improved  information  for the
operation of its business in a manner  consistent with the method used widely in
the retail  industry.  The  cumulative  effect of the change to the FIFO  retail
method was immaterial.

LETTER REGARDING CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

June 13, 1997



JumboSports Inc.
4701 W. Hillsborough Ave.
Tampa, Florida 33614

Gentlemen:

We are  providing  this letter to you for  inclusion  as an exhibit to your Form
10-Q filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

We have read  management's  justification  for the change in accounting from the
lower of first-in,  first-out  (FIFO) cost or market method to the lower of FIFO
retail or market  method  contained in the  Company's  Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended May 2, 1997. Based on our reading of the data and discussions with Company
officials of the business judgment and business planning factors relating to the
change, we believe management's justification to be reasonable.  Accordingly, in
reliance on management's  determination as regards elements of business judgment
and business  planning,  we concur that the newly adopted  accounting  principle
described  above is  preferable  in the  Company's  circumstances  to the method
previously applied.

We have not audited any financial  statements of JumboSports Inc. as of any date
or for any  period  subsequent  to January  31,  1997,  nor have we audited  the
application  of the change in  accounting  principle  disclosed  in Form 10-Q of
JumboSports  Inc.  for the three  months  ended May 2,  1997;  accordingly,  our
comments  are  subject to revision on  completion  of an audit of the  financial
statements that include the accounting change.

Very truly yours,



Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
