                 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 30,
1998 contained in the Company's Form 10-K dated April 24, 1998.

(2)  Legal Proceedings

     In  October  1997,  the  Company  announced  that  it was  terminating  its
relationship with AMR Services Corporation ("AMR Services") for the operation of
the Company's warehouse facility in Nashville,  Tennessee.  On October 10, 1997,
the Company  instituted  litigation  against AMR  Services in the United  States
District  Court,  Middle  District of Florida,  seeking  damages,  a declaratory
judgment,  and  injunctive  relief for fraud in the  inducement and breach of an
agreement to provide third-party logistic services at the warehouse facility. In
its  complaint,  the  Company  alleges  that  AMR  Services  misrepresented  its
experience in the warehouse  management  industry and  mismanaged  the Nashville
facility.  The Company is  preliminarily  seeking  damages  from AMR Services in
excess of $27  million.  At the current  time,  very little  discovery  has been
completed  and an  evaluation  of the  likelihood  of success in the  litigation
cannot be made. AMR has filed a counterclaim  in this action seeking  damages in
excess  of  six  million   dollars  for  breach  of   contract   and   negligent
misrepresentation.

     On October 11, 1997, AMR Services instituted  litigation in Tennessee state
court alleging breach of contract arising from the Company's  termination of the
third-party  logistics  agreement.  In this action, AMR Services has also sought
possession  of certain  records and  computer  data which were  generated at the
warehouse  facility.  This case has been removed to the United  States  District
Court,  Middle  District  of  Tennessee.  AMR  Services  is  seeking  damages of
approximately  $1,686,000.  The parties recently filed a joint stipulation which
would  result in the  dismissal  of this action and pursuit of all claims in the
Middle District of Florida action.  All damages previously sought in this action
are now included in the six million dollar claim in the Florida lawsuit.


(3)  Subsequent Events

     On May 7, 1998, the Company  announced the closing of two  under-performing
stores  located in the Texas cities of San Antonio and El Paso. The Company also
announced  the  opening of two new stores in the  Florida  cities of Brandon and
Daytona Beach. The new stores are expected to open in late summer 1998.

     On May 28, 1998, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended
and Restated  Revolving  Credit  Agreement.  The Second  Amendment  provides for
increased credit commitment levels for the term of the Agreement and elimination
of LIBOR based loans after July 31, 1998.


                                                                               7

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General


     This  management's   discussion  and  analysis   contains   forward-looking
statements.  These  forward-looking  statements  are  subject  to  the  inherent
uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
These  factors  include,  but are not  limited  to,  product  demand  and market
acceptance  risks, the effect of economic  conditions  generally,  the impact of
competition,  commercialization and technological difficulties and the condition
of the retail and sporting goods industries.

     Management's  discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations  for the first  quarter of fiscal 1998 should be read in  conjunction
with the discussion and analysis set forth in Form 10-K filed April 24, 1998 for
the fiscal year ended January 30, 1998.

     In May 1998,  the Company  announced  the  closing of two  under-performing
stores  located in the Texas cities of San Antonio and El Paso. The Company also
announced  the  opening of two new stores in the  Florida  cities of Brandon and
Daytona Beach. The new stores are expected to open in late summer 1998.

Thirteen  Weeks Ended  (First  Quarter) May 1, 1998  Compared To Thirteen  Weeks
Ended May 2, 1997

     The Company  closed 18 stores  effective the beginning of the first quarter
of the current  year  ending the period with 59 stores  compared to 85 stores in
the prior year.

     Sales for the first  quarter  were  $86.5  million  compared  with sales of
$130.1  million in the first  quarter of the prior  year.  Same store  sales (59
stores) for the first fiscal quarter  decreased by 12.3%. Same stores sales have
been adversely affected by the following:

     1.   Poor in-stock inventory levels in the early part of the first quarter,
          attributable  to temporary  shipment  delays that were resolved by the
          execution of the First  Amendment to the  Company's  Revolving  Credit
          Agreement;
     2.   Planned  reduction  in  advertising   compared  to  the  prior  year's
          extraordinary  promotional  campaign and discounts associated with the
          JumboSports' name change and new concept roll-out;
     3.   Soft sales trends in the footwear  categories due to decreased  demand
          for athletic footwear and industry over-supply; and
     4.   Generally soft sales throughout the sporting goods retail segment.

     Gross profit for the first quarter was $20.3 million, or 23.4% of sales, as
compared to $30.7 million, or 23.6% of sales, for the first quarter of the prior
year.  The  decrease  as a  percentage  of sales  was  attributable  to a higher
shrinkage  accrual in the current  year,  0.9%,  and higher buying and occupancy
costs as a percentage of sales,  0.3%, offset by improved  merchandise  margins,
0.8%.   Higher   merchandise   margins  are   attributable  to  the  closing  of
under-performing  stores and  improvements  resulting  from  better  merchandise
replenishment and allocation.

     Operating  expenses for the first quarter were $20.0  million,  or 23.1% of
sales, as compared to $27.2 million, or 20.9% of sales, for the first quarter of
the prior year. The increase as a percentage of sales was due to the following:

     1.   Advertising   expense  was  up  0.4%  primarily  due  to  lower  co-op
          advertising   participation   resulting  from  planned  reductions  in
          advertising expenditures and discontinuation of electronic media;
     2.   Inventory  Service  expense  was up  0.2%  as a  result  of  increased
          frequency of physical inventories;
     3.   Store payroll  expense was lower by 0.8% due to the continued focus on
          labor management and the implementation of a centralized replenishment
          and allocation function;
     4.   Corporate general and administrative  expenses were higher by 1.9% due
          to the overhead costs associated with  implementation of a centralized
          replenishment  and allocation  function in the current year, 0.3%, the
          settlement of an information technology  outsourcing agreement,  0.4%,
          legal  fees  associated  with  the AMR  litigation,  0.1%,  and  lower
          leverage due to sales volume; and
     5.   Depreciation  was higher by 0.3% due to lower sales  volume  leverage,
          0.1%,  and  depreciation  on asset  additions  in the  prior  year for
          projects  relating to information  systems  upgrades,  warehousing and
          advertising, 0.2%.


                                                                               9
<PAGE>


     Income from  operations in the first  quarter was $0.3 million,  or 0.3% of
sales, as compared to $3.5 million,  or 2.7% of sales in the same quarter of the
prior year.

     Interest expense for the first quarter was $6.3 million,  or 7.3% of sales,
as compared to $5.8 million, or 4.5% of sales for the first quarter in the prior
year. The increase in interest expense was the result of the following:

     1.   The Company's bank credit facility called for borrowings at LIBOR plus
          3.0%  contributing  to an overall 47 basis  point  increase in average
          interest rates; and
     2.   Average debt  increased $7.0 million over the same period of the prior
          year,  although by quarter end,  debt levels were $52.4  million below
          the same period of the prior year.

     The Company did not  recognize  an income tax benefit in the first  quarter
but rather  recorded an  adjustment to the valuation  allowance  offsetting  the
deferred  tax assets in excess of the  deferred  tax  liabilities.  In the prior
year,  the  Company  recorded  an income  tax  benefit of $0.8  million  with an
effective tax rate of approximately 35.7%.

     For the first quarter,  the Company  posted a net loss of $6.0 million,  or
7.0% of sales,  as compared to a net loss of $1.5 million,  or 1.2% 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 have been funded  through the  combination  of
external  financing,  internally  generated funds and credit terms from vendors.
The Company's working capital needs peak in the fourth quarter.

     Operating  activities provided cash of $27.1 million for the thirteen weeks
of fiscal 1998 as  compared to cash used of $4.0  million for the same period of
fiscal  1997.  The  improvement  was  attributable  to  lower  inventory  levels
resulting  from the inventory  liquidation  of 18 closing  stores,  average same
store  inventory  reductions of $10,000 from year end and $275,000 from the same
period of the prior year and increased vendor credit support.

     Net cash of $61.2  million was  provided by  investing  activities  for the
first  thirteen  weeks of fiscal  1998  compared  to net cash used in  investing
activities  during the first thirteen  weeks of fiscal 1997 of $3.9 million.  In
the  current  year,  cash was  provided  through the  completion  of real estate
transactions on 23 properties.  In the prior year, the cash usage was related to
new store signage for the name change to JumboSports.

     Cash flows from  financing  activities  used  $88.3  million  for the first
thirteen  weeks of fiscal 1998 compared to cash provided of $5.6 million for the
first  thirteen  weeks of fiscal 1997.  In fiscal 1998,  proceeds  from the real
estate transactions and from cash provided by operating  activities were used to
reduce bank and mortgage debt.

     As of May 1, 1998, the Company had $2.8 million of long-term  capital lease
obligations, $68.7 million of long-term mortgage obligations, $74.8 million of 4
1/4% Convertible  Subordinated Notes, and $102.2 million of borrowings under its
revolving  credit facility.  The revolving  credit  facility,  reduced to $114.7
million in total commitment,  matures May 1999 and contains  customary events of
default and a number of customary covenants, including restrictions on liens and
sales of assets, prohibitions on dividends and certain changes in control, and a
maintenance  of two  financial  ratios.  As of May 1, 1998,  the  Company was in
compliance with all bank covenants.

                                                                              10
<PAGE>



     The revolving credit facility limits the amount of capital  expenditures to
$7.7  million  for fiscal  1998.  The  Company  has spent $1.0  million  through
thirteen weeks.

     Management  believes  its  current  cash  position  together  with  amounts
available under its revolving credit facility,  certain leasing  commitments and
net cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fund anticipated
capital  expenditures  and working capital  requirements for the upcoming twelve
month period.


Seasonality and Inflation

     The  Company's  business is seasonal in nature,  with its highest sales and
operating profitability historically occurring during the fourth fiscal quarter,
which includes the Christmas  selling  season.  During the fourth quarter of the
prior year, the Company recorded 26.7% of its sales and 31.7% of its income from
operations  for the Company's 59 operating  stores,  prior to the  non-recurring
charges  taken in the third and fourth  quarters of fiscal 1997.  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 from  operations  for the first  thirteen weeks of fiscal 1998 or fiscal
1997. There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Company's business will not
be affected by inflation in the future.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

          In October 1997,  the Company  announced that it was  terminating  its
          relationship  with AMR Services  Corporation  ("AMR Services") for the
          operation of the Company's warehouse facility in Nashville, Tennessee.
          On October 10, 1997,  the Company  instituted  litigation  against AMR
          Services  in the United  States  District  Court,  Middle  District of
          Florida,  seeking  damages,  a declaratory  judgment,  and  injunctive
          relief  for fraud in the  inducement  and  breach of an  agreement  to
          provide third-party  logistic services at the warehouse  facility.  In
          its complaint,  the Company  alleges that AMR Services  misrepresented
          its experience in the warehouse management industry and mismanaged the
          Nashville facility.  The Company is preliminarily seeking damages from
          AMR  Services  in excess of $27  million.  At the current  time,  very
          little   discovery  has  been  completed  and  an  evaluation  of  the
          likelihood of success in the litigation  cannot be made. AMR has filed
          a counterclaim in this action seeking damages in excess of six million
          dollars for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation.

          On October 11, 1997, AMR Services  instituted  litigation in Tennessee
          state court  alleging  breach of contract  arising from the  Company's
          termination of the third-party  logistics  agreement.  In this action,
          AMR  Services  has also  sought  possession  of  certain  records  and
          computer  data which were  generated at the warehouse  facility.  This
          case has been  removed to the United  States  District  Court,  Middle
          District  of   Tennessee.   AMR   Services   is  seeking   damages  of
          approximately   $1,686,000.   The  parties   recently  filed  a  joint
          stipulation  which would  result in the  dismissal  of this action and
          pursuit of all claims in the Middle  District of Florida  action.  All
          damages  previously  sought in this action are now included in the six
          million dollar claim in the Florida lawsuit.

     connection  with the sale of  inventory)  received by the Lenders  from and
     after January 30, 1998 on account of Asset Dispositions.

     SUBPART 2.2  Amendment to Section 3.1.  Section 3.1 of the Existing  Credit
Agreement  shall be amended by adding a new section  3.1(d),  which reads in its
entirety as follows:

          (d) Elimination of Option for Eurodollar  Loans.  Notwithstanding  any
     other term or condition of this Credit  Agreement,  from and after July 31,
     1998 all outstanding  Revolving Loans shall accrue interest at the Adjusted
     Base Rate and the  Borrower  shall not have the  option  to  designate  any
     Revolving Loan (made before,  on or after such date) as a Eurodollar  Loan.
     Each Notice of  Borrowing  submitted  by the Borrower on or after such date
     shall  be  deemed  to  request  a Base  Rate  Loan.  Any  Eurodollar  Loans
     outstanding on July 31, 1998 shall automatically be converted to Base Rate
<PAGE>

     Loans on July 31,  1998,  and the  Borrower  shall pay to the  Lenders  all
     breakage, redeployment costs, and other costs, charges, and amounts arising
     on account of the prepayment of Eurodolloar Loans on a day which is not the
     last day of the applicable Interest Period(s).

     SUBPART 2.3  Amendment to Section 3.4.  Section 3.4 of the Existing  Credit

     "Incentive  Fee") equal to 1.0% of the Revolving  Committed Amount existing
     as of August 1, 1998;  provided,  however,  in the event that, on or before
     July  31,  1998,  the  Borrower  has  repaid  in  full  the  Loans  and the
     Commitments  have  been  terminated,   then  the  Borrower  shall  have  no
     obligation  to pay such  Incentive  Fee,  or any  portion  thereof,  to the
     Lenders.  To the  extent  that  the  Loans  have not  been  repaid  and the
     Commitments  terminated as of July 31, 1998,  then such Incentive Fee shall
     have been fully earned by the Lenders and immediately due and payable.  The
     Incentive Fee shall constitute part of the Credit Party Obligations for all
     purposes under the Credit Documents.

     SUBPART 2.4 Amendment of Section 7.15.  Section 7.15 of the Existing Credit
Agreement shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

     7.15  Retention of Financial  Consultant.  The Borrower  shall retain on or
     before  January  30,  1998,  either  as an  officer  or  as an  independent
     financial consultant,  an individual or firm reasonably satisfactory to the
     Agents (the  "Consultant").  The Borrower  shall engage the  Consultant  to
     investigate,  evaluate and advise the  Borrower  concerning a wide range of
     financial and operational issues relating to the Borrower's  business plan.
     The exact scope of the  Consultant's  services  shall be agreed upon by the
     Borrower and the  Consultant,  but must be reasonably  satisfactory  to the
     Agents.  The Borrower shall cause the  Consultant (i) to meet  periodically
     with the Agents at their reasonable request to report upon the Consultant's
     findings  and  recommendations,  and (ii) to meet with the  Lenders no less
     frequently than once per quarter to report on the Consultant's findings and
     recommendations.  The  Borrower  shall  pay all costs  associated  with its
     retention  of  the  Consultant.   The  Borrower  shall  not  terminate  the
     Consultant's  services,  or  deny  the  Consultant  access  to  information
     necessary to perform its services within the scope of its engagement, prior
     to the repayment in full of the Revolving  Loans and the termination of the
     Commitments.  All reports and information provided by the Consultant to the
     Agents or the Lenders shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of
     Section 11.17 hereof.

     SUBPART 2.5  Amendment of Section 8.5.  Section 8.5 of the Existing  Credit

Agreement  shall be amended by striking  the amount "$50  million"  appearing in
proviso (ii) and  replacing  such amount with "$60  million."  The  remainder of
section 8.6 shall remain unchanged.

     SUBPART 2.7 Amendment of Section  11.3(b).  Section 11.3(b) of the Existing
Credit Agreement shall be amended by striking the amount "$5,000,000"  appearing
in proviso (i) and replacing it with  "$2,000,000," such amount becoming the new
aggregate minimum amount of Commitments which may be assigned by any Lender. The
remainder of section 11.3(b) shall remain unchanged.


                                    PART III
                                    CONSENTS


     SUBPART 3.1 Additional GOB Sales.  Subject to the  satisfaction  of each of
the conditions  precedent  specified in Part IV of this  Agreement,  the Lenders
hereby  consent  to the  Borrower's  sale,  out of the  ordinary  course  of its
business, of inventory located at its retail stores in San Antonio, Texas (store
#26), El Paso,  Texas (store #81), Ft. Wayne,  Indiana (store #66),  Boca Raton,
Florida (store #45), and Peoria,  Illinois (store # 65) (collectively,  the "New
GOB Sales");  provided, that (i) any agreement executed by the Borrower with any
agent or liquidator  shall be reasonably  satisfactory  in form and substance to
the Agents,  (ii) all Net Cash Proceeds from such New GOB Sales shall be paid to
the Lenders as a prepayment  of the Loans as required by Section  3.3(b)(ii)  of
the Existing Credit  Agreement,  and (iii) the Borrower  provide the Agents with
written notice prior to the commencement of any such sales. The Lenders' consent
herein is a one-time consent to the Borrower's sale of inventory  outside of the
ordinary  course of its  business and shall not be construed as a consent to any
other sale of inventory  outside of the ordinary course of its business,  now or
in the future, at any other locations.

     SUBPART 3.2  NationsBank  Assignment.  The Borrower and each of the Lenders
hereby  consent to the  assignment  by  NationsBank,  N.A.  of  3.50877%  of the
Revolving  Committed  Amount,  such amount not being in an integral  multiple of
$1,000,000 and not representing the assignment of the remaining Commitments held
by NationsBank, N.A. Such assignment represents the sale by NationsBank, N.A. of
the entire interest in the Loans and Commitments  which it previously  purchased
from The Sakura Bank, Limited.  Section 11.3(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement
requires the consent of the Borrower and the Required  Lenders to assignments of
interests in the Loans and  Commitments  which are not in integral  multiples of
$1,000,000 or representing such assigning  Lender's entire remaining  Commitment
amount.
