              NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Sure Shot International, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of
Florida on August 6, 1992. The Company is a holding company for its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sure Shot Sports Equipment, Inc., Hydra-Rib, Inc.
and RLW, Inc. Through Sure Shot Sports Equipment, Inc., the Company
manufactures basketball and related sporting goods equipment at its facility
in Holly, Michigan and its facility in Warsaw, Poland. Hydra-Rib, Inc.
manufactures portable basketball units at its facility in Fuquay-Varina,
North Carolina. RLW, Inc., located in Phenix City, Alabama, is engaged in the
sale and distribution of headwear and sports apparel under the "Z-Tag
Sportswear" name. The Company sells its products on a wholesale and retail
basis throughout the world.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996 and the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. In the opinion of company management, the financial
statements as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the three and six month
periods then ended reflect all adjustments (normal recurring accruals) which
are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the periods then
ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or
results to be expected for a full year.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S.
dollars at exchange rates in effect at June 30, 1996. The unrealized gain or
loss resulting from this process is shown as a cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustment in stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated
balance sheet. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange
rates that prevailed during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1996.

actual credit available may be less from time to time based upon certain
percentages of the Company's accounts receivable and inventory. The first
$2,000,000 of Sure Shot Sports Equipment's line of credit bears interest at a
rate equal to NBD's prime rate plus 1% and the remaining $2,450,000 bears
interest at a rate equal to NBD's prime rate plus 1.5%. Hydra-Rib's line of
credit bears interest at a rate equal to NBD's prime rate plus 1% and RLW's
line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to NBD's prime rate plus 2%.
These lines of credit are secured by the Company's accounts receivable and
inventory and are guaranteed by the Company and two of its directors. These
lines of credit expire on September 30, 1996, but the Company is confident the
agreements will be renewed for an additional one or two year period.

NOTE 5 - REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

The Company has no obligation to redeem shares of common stock, except
pursuant to an agreement entered into with the former majority shareholder of
Sure Shot Sports Equipment, Inc. Under the agreement, the former shareholder
may request the Company redeem 15,000 shares of common stock at September 1,
1996 for $6.67 per share, or a total of $100,000. The redemption agreement
also provides that the Company may require the shareholder to sell his stock
directly to another party. In this alternative, the Company is required to pay
the difference to the shareholder. A sinking fund is not required under this
agreement. The Company has pledged assets of Sure Shot Sports Equipment, Inc.
equivalent to 110 percent of the outstanding obligation of the redemption
agreement. The carrying value of the redeemable common shares at June 30, 1996
reflects the fair value of the shares on the date of issue, adjusted under the
interest method, for a portion of the excess of the redemption amount over the
fair value of the shares at the date of issue.

Item 2.               Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                      Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company's principal sources of liquidity at June 30, 1996 included cash
of $94,587, net trade accounts receivable of $3,695,885 and inventory of
$7,085,933. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) remained
strong at $4,166,051 at June 30, 1996. The Company has three lines of credit
agreements with NBD Bank ("NBD") that provides a maximum borrowing limit of
$6,300,000 ($4,450,000 for Sure Shot Sports Equipment, Inc., $1,300,000 for
RLW, Inc. and $550,000 for Hydra-Rib, Inc. ), but the actual credit available
may be less from time to time based upon certain percentages of the Company's
accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 1996, $5,085,500 had been
borrowed against these lines of credit. The first $2,000,000 of Sure Shot
Sports Equipment's line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to NBD's
prime rate plus 1% and the remaining $2,450,000 bears interest at a rate equal
to NBD's prime rate plus 1.5%. Hydra-Rib's line of credit bears interest at a
rate equal to NBD's prime rate plus 1% and RLW's line of credit bears interest
at a rate equal to NBD's prime rate plus 2%. These lines of credit are secured
by the Company's accounts receivable and inventory, are guaranteed by the
Company and two of its directors and expire on September 30, 1996 . The
Company is confident these lines of credit will be renewed for an additional
one or two year period. NBD has also committed to provide up to $400,000 for
the purpose of making term loans, installment loans or leases of machinery and
equipment, of which the Company has borrowed a total of $136,220 for this
purpose. These loans are two and three year term loans, include monthly
payments of $8,898 plus interest, mature at various dates through August 2,
1998, bear interest at a rate equal to NBD's prime rate plus .5% and are
secured by specific machinery and equipment of the Company.

  On March 18, 1996 the Company restructured substantially all of its line of
credit between RLW, Inc. and First Alabama Bank as a term loan. The amount of
the loan was $1,250,000, has a two year term with a balloon payment at the end
of the term, includes monthly payments of $27,000 including interest at a rate
of 9.75% and is guaranteed by the Company and two of its directors.

  The Company believes its existing cash, collection of its accounts
receivable and additional borrowings available under its line of credit
facilities with NBD will be sufficient to support the Company's operations and
general capital requirements for at least 12 months. In the event the Company
needs additional cash to finance its operations, it will seek to obtain it
from additional bank financings, private placements of debt and/or equity or
exercise of the warrants that were sold to the public through the Company's
initial public offering.

</TABLE>

Periods Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Periods Ended June 30, 1995

  Sales increased $303,605 (10.3%) from $2,949,070 for the second quarter of
1995 to $3,252,675 for the second quarter of 1996. For the six months ended
June 30, sales increased $728,486 (12.1%) from $6,025,753 for 1995 to
$6,754,239 for 1996. Those increased sales were primarily the result of
increased sales in the international and institutional markets, the addition
of new product lines and sales to a larger number of customers.

  The cost of sales increased at a lower rate than the increase in sales for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996. The cost of sales
increased by $171,720 (8.2%) from $2,095,664 in the second quarter of 1995,
where it was 71.1% of Sales to $2,267,384 in the second quarter of 1996, where
it was 69.7% of Sales. For the comparable six month period ended June 30, cost
of sales increased by $413,572 (9.5%) from $4,352,239 in 1995 (72.2% of sales)
to $4,765,811 in 1996 (70.6% of sales). The item which has the largest impact
on cost of sales is the cost of materials, which decreased from 49.2% of sales
for the first six months of 1995 to 47.4% of sales for the comparable period
in 1996. This percentage decrease is primarily the result of the increased
sales in the institutional and international markets, where larger profit
margins are realized. The decrease in cost of sales as a percent of sales is
also a result of decreases, as a percent of sales, in the following items of
overhead expenses included in cost of sales: direct labor, utilities, rent and
supplies.

                                     -10-

  As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased from
$1,673,514 in the first six months of 1995 to $1,988,428 in the first six
months of 1996, an increase of $314,914 (18.8%). For the second quarter, the
Company's gross profit increased from $853,406 in 1995 to $985,291 in 1996, an
increase of $131,885 (15.5%).

  The Company's operating expenses increased from $1,103,634 in the first six
months of 1995 to $1,250,772 in the first six months of 1996, an increase of
$147,138 (13.3%). For the second quarter, the Company's operating expenses
increased from $584,037 in 1995 to $654,011 in 1996, an increase of $69,974
(12.0%). The increase in operating expenses primarily resulted from increases
in the following items of selling, general and administrative expenses:
salaries and wages; advertising and promotion; telephone; travel; and outside
commissions.

  The Company had to increase its total provision for federal income taxes
from $132,614 in the first six months of 1995 to $141,870 in the first six
months of 1996, an increase of $9,256 (7.0%). As a result of all of the
foregoing, the Company's net earnings for the first six months increased from
$302,253 in 1995 to $331,625 in 1996, an increase of $29,372 (9.7%). The
Company's net earnings for the second quarter increased from $134,288 in 1995
to $156,077 in 1996, an increase of $21,789 (16.2%).
