ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND THE
         -------------------------------------------------------------------
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
         ----------------------

         The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and related note thereto provided under Item 1 above.

         THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1996. Sales were essentially flat, $29.2 million compared to $29.3 million
for the same quarter last year. Lackluster sales were attributable to reduced
sales of in-line skates and excercise equipment.

         Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased slightly, 36.5% compared
to 36.9% for the same period last year, as a result of increased markdowns,
partially offset by a decrease in the accrual for estimated inventory shrinkage.
The increased markdowns reflect clearance activity of slow moving inventory as
well as greater markdowns on promotional events compared to the same quarter
last year.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
decreased from 35.4% to 34.8%, which management believes reflects continued
savings from cost reduction programs.

         Interest expense decreased from $282,000 to $76,000 due to a
significant decrease in average debt outstanding. The decrease in average debt
outstanding is primarily due to reductions in inventory levels as a result of
improved systems and controls.

         The effective income tax rate was 41.9% compared to 40.8% for the same
period last year. These rates differ from the statutory rate of 40.1% as a
result of permanent differences between financial reporting and tax-basis
income.

         Net income increased from $91,000 or $.01 per share to $246,000 or $.04
per share, primarily as a result of reduced expenses. This is the Company's
fifth consequtive profitable quarter.

         The Company's business is highly seasonal in nature and historically
its highest sales level and operating profitability generally occur during the
winter months of November, December and January, which overlap the third and
fourth fiscal quarters, and management therefore believes that the operating
results for the first quarter may not necessarily be indicative of the Company's
overall operating results for the fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary capital requirements are for inventory and store
remodeling. Historically, the Company's liquidity needs have been met by cash
from operations, credit terms from vendors and bank borrowings.

     Net cash used in operating activities is $1.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 compared to cash provided of $1.5 million for the same
period ended June 30, 1996. Net income provided $246,000 and $91,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Depreciation also
provided $680,000 and $840,000 of cash for same periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

     Inventories increased by $2.4 million and $951,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, due to the seasonal build-up of
summer inventory. The 1997 increase is more than the 1996 increase because of
relatively lower inventory levels at the beginning of this fiscal year when
compared to the previous year. The inventory at June 30, 1997 is $3.5 million
less than at June 30, 1996.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $268,000 and $262,000 for the
quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, primarily for the routine
replacement of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements at existing
stores.

     Net cash used in or provided by financing activities has primarily
reflected advances or pay down of the Company's revolving credit line. Cash
provided is $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to
$1.3 million used by financing activities for the three months ended June 30,
1996. The increase in net advances during the 1997 quarter compared to the 1996
quarter is due to the relatively low level of borrowing at the beginning of this
fiscal year when compared to the previous year. The loan payable to bank is $6.1
million less than at June 30, 1996.
