Thirteen Weeks Ended (Second  Quarter) August 1, 1997 Compared To Thirteen Weeks
Ended July 28, 1996

     The Company did not open any new stores in its second  quarter  compared to
one new store in the same quarter  last year,  ending the quarter with 85 stores
in both the current and prior year.

     Sales for the second quarter  decreased  19.4% to $136.2  million  compared
with sales of $169.0 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Same store
sales for the second fiscal quarter  decreased by 19.4%.  While these same store
sales were unfavorable, they are not truly comparable because sales in the prior
year were bolstered by the 1996 inventory  clearance sale the Company started in
June  1996  and  continued  through  November  1996.  Sales  below  cost for the
inventory  clearance  sale were $18.2 million in the second quarter of the prior
year which represents  10.7% of last years sales.  Adjusting same store sales in
the prior year for the below cost  clearance  sale,  leaves a  comparable  store
sales decrease of 9.7% for the second fiscal quarter.  Sales have been adversely
affected by the following:
     1.   Sales were generally soft throughout the sporting goods retail segment
          partially  as a result of  comparisons  against  last  year's  Olympic
          merchandise  sales and last year's  increased  foot traffic due to the
          Olympics;
     2.   Certain   merchandise   categories  were  further  affected.   Fitness
          continues  to be  lower  due  to  fewer  "infomercial"-driven  product
          introductions.  In-line  skates  across the  industry  are a declining
          business.  The  hunting  category  is also  experiencing  a  continued
          decline;
     3.   Competition  continues to increase.  Fourteen  additional  stores this
          quarter  were  adversely  affected  by new big-box  competitors  which
          opened after the second quarter of the prior year.

     Gross profit for the second quarter was $33.6  million,  or 24.6% of sales,
as compared to $6.4 million or 3.8% of sales for the second quarter of the prior
year. In the prior year, an inventory  write-down of $32.4 million,  or 19.2% of
sales was taken for slow moving and obsolete  inventory.  The primary difference
in gross margin percent relates to increased margin  contributions from the soft
goods  departments as slightly offset by higher buying and occupancy costs and a
higher shrinkage accrual based on the prior year's experience.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the second quarter were
$30.5  million,  or 22.4% of sales,  as compared to $31.5  million,  or 18.6% of
sales, for the second quarter of the prior year. The increase as a percentage of
sales was due to lower sales volume  leverage on fixed costs and certain  higher
operating  costs.  Payroll  expense was up 174 basis  points due to the in-store
problems  encountered by the introduction of the new merchandise systems as well
as problems  experienced in the  implementation  of a new  distribution  center;
also, a higher  average wage  resulted from the  "ripple-effect"  of the minimum
wage increase and a generally tighter labor market.  Advertising  expense was up
163 basis points. Most of the overage occurred early in the quarter.

     In addition to the $32.4 million inventory write-down, the Company incurred
$22.6 million of non-recurring and other charges, or 13.4% of sales in the prior
year.

     Income from  operations in the second quarter was $3.0 million,  or 2.2% of
sales,  as compared to a loss from  operations of $47.6  million,  or (28.2)% of
sales in the same  quarter of the prior year.  The loss from  operations  in the
prior year was primarily the result of the $55 million one time charges.



                                                                               9
<PAGE>

     Interest expense for the second quarter was $5.9 million,  or 4.4% of sales
as  compared to $5.1  million or 3.0% of sales in the same  quarter of the prior
year.  The  increase in interest  rates was the result of  increased  debt,  the
result of higher  inventory  levels,  and the  refinancing of $58 million of tax
retention  operating  leases into the revolving credit facility in the middle of
the second quarter of the prior year.

     The  Company's  income tax benefit for the quarter was $1.1 million with an
effective rate of approximately  35.9%. The tax benefit was $19.5 million in the
same quarter of the prior year with an effective tax rate of 37.0%.

     For the second  quarter  the Company  posted a net loss of $1.9  million or
(1.4)% of sales, as compared to a net loss of $33.2 million, or (19.7)% of sales
for the same  quarter of the prior year.  The net loss in the second  quarter of
the prior year was attributable to the after-tax effect,  $34.6 million,  of the
inventory write-down and one time charges.


Twenty-Six Weeks (First-Half) Ended August 1, 1997 Compared To Twenty-Six
Weeks Ended July 28, 1996

     The Company did not open any new stores in its first half compared to 5 new
stores in its first half last year.

     Sales for the first  twenty-six  weeks  decreased  14.8% to $266.4  million
compared to sales of $312.7  million in the  comparable  period last year.  Same
store sales for this twenty-six  week period  declined  15.8%.  While these same
store sales were unfavorable,  they are not truly  comparable,  because sales in
the prior year were bolstered by an inventory clearance in the second quarter of
the prior year.  Adjusting same store sales in the prior year for the below cost
clearance sales,  leaves a comparable store sales decrease of only 10.6%.  Sales
have been adversely impacted by the following:
     1.   The Company's new information management systems were installed at the
          beginning  of the year.  There have been  significant  disruptions  in
          merchandise  flow due to problems  encountered in receiving and making
          product  ready to sell at the store level  through  part of the second
          quarter;
     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 mis-shipments
          and delays that  adversely  affected  stock levels through part of the
          second quarter;
     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  continues  to be lower due to fewer new  "infomercial"-driven
          product  introductions,  and in-line  skates are a declining  business
          across the industry;
     4.   Sales  were  generally  soft  throughout  the  sporting  goods  retail
          segment,  partially  as a result of  comparisons  against  last year's
          Olympic  merchandise  sales and last year's increased foot traffic due
          to the Olympics;
     5.   Competition  continues to increase.  Seventeen  additional stores this
          year were  adversely  affected by new big-box  competitors  which have
          opened since the beginning of the prior year.



                                                                              10

<PAGE>


     Gross profit for the  twenty-six  week period of the current year was $64.2
million, or 24.1% of sales, compared to $39.3 million, or 12.6% of sales for the
prior  year.  The  Company  incurred  an  inventory  write-down  charge of $32.4
million,  or 10.4% of sales.  Gross  margin  contributions  from the soft  goods
departments  were the primary reason for the increase  offset slightly by higher
buying and occupancy costs, and a higher shrinkage accrual based on prior year's
experience.

     Selling general and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks of the
current  year were  $57.7  million,  or 21.7% of  sales,  as  compared  to $61.2
million,  or 19.6% of sales,  for the  twenty-six  weeks of the prior year.  The
increase  as a  percentage  of sales was due to lower sales  volume  leverage on
fixed costs and certain higher operating costs.  Payroll expense was up 79 basis
points due to the in-store  problems  encountered by the introduction of the new
merchandise  systems as well as problems  experienced in the implementation of a
new  distribution   center;  also  a  higher  average  wage  resulted  from  the
"ripple-effect"  of the minimum  wage  increase  and a generally  tighter  labor
market.  Advertising  expense was up 134 basis points, a result of the corporate
name  change  and  increased  expenditures  for  radio  advertising,  television
advertising and the multi-page advertising book.

     In addition to the $32.4 million inventory  charge,  the Company incurred a
$22.6 million charge, or 7.2% of sales, in the second quarter of the prior year,
for non-recurring and other charges.

     Income  from  operations  in the  twenty-six  weeks  of this  year was $6.5
million, or 2.4% of sales, as compared to loss from operations of $44.5 million,
or (14.2)% of sales, in the twenty-six  weeks of the prior year. The loss in the
prior year was  attributable  to the $55 million in charges  taken in the second
quarter of the prior year.

     Interest  expense for the first half of the current year was $11.8 million,
or 4.4% of  sales,  as  compared  to $8.8  million,  or 2.8% of  sales,  for the
comparable  period in the prior year. This 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  and  higher
          inventory levels;
     2.   The  re-negotiated  credit facility calls for borrowings at LIBOR plus
          2% versus  LIBOR plus 1%  contributing  to an  overall 83 basis  point
          increase in average interest rates.

     The  Company's  income tax benefit for the first half was $1.9 million with
an effective tax benefit of 36.5%  compared to a tax benefit of $19.7 million in
the prior year with an effective tax rate of 37.0%.

     The  Company  posted a net loss of $3.4  million  or (1.3)%  of  sales,  as
compared to a net loss of $33.6 million or (10.7)% of sales, for the same period
of the prior year. The net loss for the twenty-six week period of the prior year
was  attributable  to the $55 million  charge for inventory,  non-recurring  and
other items incurred in the second  quarter  resulting in a net charge after tax
of $34.6 million.




                                                                              11

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 $51.5 million for the twenty-six weeks of
fiscal 1997 as compared to cash  provided of $5.8 million for the same period of
fiscal  1996.  The  increased  use of cash was  primarily  due to a  substantial
increase in merchandise inventory. Management attributes this above-normal level
to problems  encountered as a result of the new  merchandising  system,  the new
distribution  facility and to certain  over-reactions to out-of-stock  inventory
positions.  Some product  returns have been  arranged,  future  orders have been
adjusted and an orderly sell down plan has been  developed.  Controls  have been
installed to assure that these conditions do not recur.  Merchandise inventories
are expected to return to prior year levels by December.

     Net cash of $6.2 million was used in investing  activities during the first
twenty-six  weeks  of  fiscal  1997,  compared  to net  cash  used in  investing
activities  during the first  twenty-six  of fiscal 1996 of $7.8  million.  This
year's  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 $53.9 million for the first
twenty-six  weeks  of  fiscal  1997,  compared  to $1.6  million  for the  first
twenty-six  weeks of fiscal  1996.  The  increase in cash  provided by financing
activities in fiscal 1997 was primarily due to increased  borrowing  activity of
the Company's  revolving  line of credit from the prior year, and the completion
of $37.0 million of mortgage financings.

     As of August 1, 1997,  the Company had $52.7  million of capital  lease and
mortgage obligations, $74.8 million of 4 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due
2000  outstanding  and had drawn $223.6 million on its $235.0 million  revolving
credit facility.

     The current credit  facility  limits the amount of capital  expenditures to
$22  million  for  fiscal  1997.  The  Company  has spent $7.8  million  through
twenty-six 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.





                                                                              12

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.  During the fourth  quarter,  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  twenty-six  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.  Proforma  effects of the change for prior periods is not
determinable.

                   AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

                                JUMBOSPORTS INC.
===============================================================================
     WHEREAS,   the   Articles   of   Incorporation   of  SPORTS  &   RECREATION
REINCORPORATION,  INC. were originally  filed with and approved by the Secretary
of State of Florida on the 22nd day of April, 1996; and

     WHEREAS, Articles of Merger for SPORTS & RECREATION  REINCORPORATION,  INC.
were filed with and  approved by the  Secretary  of State of Florida on the 14th
day of February,  1997,  pursuant to which SPORTS & RECREATION  REINCORPORATION,
INC. changed its name to JUMBOSPORTS INC. as the surviving corporation; and

     WHEREAS,  it is the  intention of the  directors  and the  shareholders  of
JUMBOSPORTS  INC.  that the Articles of  Incorporation  be amended in accordance
with the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation hereinafter set forth; and

     WHEREAS,  the  proposed  Amendment  to the  Articles  of  Incorporation  of
JUMBOSPORTS  INC.  hereinafter set forth was approved by the requisite number of
shareholders of JUMBOSPORTS INC. on the 16th day of June, 1997; and

     WHEREAS,  the approval of the Secretary of State of Florida of the proposed
Amendment hereinafter set forth is hereby requested.

     RESOLVED,  that the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended
by the  addition  of  Article  IX which  shall be and  read in its  entirety  as
follows:

                             ARTICLE IX - DIRECTORS

     (a) The number of  directors  which shall  constitute  the entire  Board of
Directors shall be not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) directors.
Within these limits, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time in
accordance  with the  Bylaws.  The  directors  shall be  elected  at the  annual
shareholders'  meeting,  except as provided in subparagraph  (b) of this Article
IX. The  directors  shall be divided  into three (3) classes as nearly  equal in
number as may be. At the annual shareholders'  meeting in 1997, one class of two
directors shall be elected for a one-year term, one class of two directors shall
be  elected  for a  two-year  term,  and one class of three  directors  shall be
elected for a three-year term.  Commencing with the annual shareholders' meeting
in 1998 and at each succeeding annual shareholders'  meeting,  successors to the
class of directors whose terms expire at such annual shareholders' meeting shall
be elected for a three-year  term.  If the number of  directors is changed,  any
increase or decrease in directors  shall be apportioned  among the classes so as
to maintain  the number of  directors  comprising  each class as nearly equal as
possible. Any additional directors of a class shall hold office for a term which
will coincide with the remaining term of the other directors of the class.

<PAGE>

     (b) A director shall hold office until the annual shareholders' meeting for
the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her  successor  shall
be elected.  Directors may be removed only by the holders of at least a majority
of the outstanding  Common Stock and only for cause at a meeting called for such
purpose.  Except as may otherwise be provided by law, cause for removal shall be
construed to exist only if (i) the director  whose  removal is proposed has been
convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction and the conviction is
no longer  subject to direct  appeal,  (ii) the director has been  adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance  of his or her duty to the  corporation  in a matter of  substantial
importance to the  corporation,  and the  adjudication  is no longer  subject to
direct  appeal or (iii) any other  situation  exists  which  eighty (80%) of the
other directors, in their sole discretion, agree constitutes cause for removal.

     (c) If any vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors or any new directorship
is created by an increase in the authorized  number of directors,  a majority of
the directors in office, though less than a quorum, may fill the vacancy or fill
the newly  created  directorship.  Any director  elected to fill a vacancy shall
have the same term as that of his or her  predecessor,  or, if such vacancy is a
result of an increase in the number of directors, as that of the other directors
of the class of which he or she shall be a member.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this  Amendment to the Articles of  Incorporation  is
hereby  adopted and  executed  on behalf of  JUMBOSPORTS  INC. by its  President
effective the 6th day of August, 1997.
