                         NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the periods presented have been included.

     The financial data at March 31, 2000 is derived from audited financial
statements which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 2000, and should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Three Months Ended June 30 2000, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1999. Sales have increased from $34.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999 to $44.1 million for the same period this year, a 27.1% increase. The
increase is the result of opening three new stores last year and a comparable
store sales increase of 13.8%. Comparable store sales are based upon stores
opened throughout both periods. Management believes that the increase in
comparable store sales is due to the successful execution of the Company's basic
business plan of diversifying product mix to include a greater emphasis on non-
winter related products. The warm spring weather in Southern California and the
increased consumer demand for in-line scooters, also contributed to the sales
increase.

      Gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 30.2% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to 31.1% for the same period this year, primarily due
to the increased sales which caused occupancy costs to decrease as a percent of
sales.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
decreased from 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 25.9% for the
same period this year, primarily because of the leveraging effect of increased
comparable store sales.

      The effective income tax rate was 39.8% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to 39.9% for the same period this year, which differs
from the statutory rate as a result of permanent differences between financial
reporting and tax-basis income.

                                      -7-

      Net income increased from $658,000, or $.10 per diluted share, for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.4 million or $.21 per diluted share for
the same period this year, primarily as a result of increased sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's primary capital requirements are for inventory and store
expansion, relocation and remodeling. Historically, cash from operations, credit
terms from vendors and bank borrowing have met the Company's liquidity needs.
Management believes that these sources will be sufficient to fund currently
anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

      Net cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $4.1 million for the same period last
year. Net income provided cash of $1.4 million and $658,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Included in net income was non-cash
depreciation of $976,000 and $859,000 for the same periods.

      Accounts receivable decreased by $1.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 as a result of the elimination of amounts due to the Company from
John Wells Golf Shops, the former operator of the leased golf department within
the Company's stores. On April 1, 2000, the Company purchased the inventory and
fixtures of the leased golf departments from the lessee and is operating the
golf departments directly.

      Inventories increased by $10.3 million and $6.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, primarily due to the seasonal
build-up of summer related inventory. Inventory at June 30, 2000 is $10.6
million greater than the same time last year due to (i) the opening of two new
stores since June 30, 1999; (ii) the acquisition of inventory, in April 2000,
from John Wells Golf Shops; and (iii) to a lesser extent the increased sales.
Accounts payable increased by $4.3 million and $2.8 million for the respective
periods due primarily to inventory build-up and the timing of payments to
vendors.

      Salaries and wages payable increased by $285,000 compared to a decrease of
$1.5 million for the same period last year primarily as result of the lesser
amount of incentive pay paid during the first quarter related to the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the prior year.

      Net cash used in investing activities increased to $2.3 million from $1.8
million primarily due to payments made for the Company's new point-of-sale
system that was rolled out during the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

      Net cash provided by financing activities has historically reflected
advances or pay down of the Company's revolving credit line. There were no
borrowings during either three-month period ended June 30, 2000 or 1999.
