3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE AMOUNTS

         Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding for each period. The weighted average number of shares of common
stock used in the computation of earnings (loss) per share was 8,891,986 and
7,464,027 for the three-month periods ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995,
respectively, and 8,446,056 and 6,317,973 for the nine-month periods ended March
30, 1996 and April 1, 1995, respectively. Common stock equivalents include
warrants to purchase common stock and stock options. In computing the income per
common share for fiscal 1995, dividends applicable to Series A preferred stock
reduce the income applicable to common shares and common stock equivalents.

4.  SALE OF COMMON STOCK

         On September 27, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of
1,300,000 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company, at the public
offering price of $17.25 per share, were approximately $21.0 million after
deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. In addition, on
October 25, 1995, the Company issued an additional 66,666 shares of common
stock, upon the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the
underwriters in connection with the September 1995 public offering. The net
proceeds to the Company from the additional shares issued, at the public
offering price of $17.25 per share, were approximately $1.1 million after
deducting the underwriting discount and expenses. The net proceeds of the
offering were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility.

Item 2.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales. Net sales increased from $39.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1995 to $45.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, an increase of $5.6
million, or 14.0%. For the first nine months, net sales increased 24.3% from
$86.0 million in fiscal 1995 to $107.0 million in fiscal 1996, an increase of
$21.0 million. The increased sales for both periods was a result of the
continued worldwide growth of the Company's specialty bicycle market and
increased selling prices.

Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 38.9% for
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 36.3% for the third quarter of
fiscal 1995. The gross profit for the 1996 quarter was $17.5 million, an
increase of $3.2 million, or 22.2%, over the gross profit of $14.3 million for
the third quarter of fiscal 1995. For the first nine months of fiscal 1996,
gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 36.3% ($38.8 million)
compared to 33.8% ($29.1 million) in fiscal 1995. The improvement in gross
profit was primarily the result of the Company's growth in international
markets, the further implementation of cost-reduction programs, and more
favorable product mix, with higher-end, higher-margin full suspension bicycles
representing a larger portion of overall sales .

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $9.9 million for the third quarter
of fiscal 1996, an increase of approximately $1.6 million, or 19.8%, over the
third quarter of fiscal 1995 operating expenses of $8.3 million. For the first
nine months of fiscal 1996, operating expenses were $26.0 million, an increase
of approximately $5.1 million, or 24.3%, over the $20.9 million of operating
expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. For both periods, increases
in selling, general and administrative expenses accounted for a significant
portion of the increase and were directly associated with increased sales, and
additional personnel, advertising, and marketing costs required to support the
Company's growth. As a percentage of sales, year-to-date selling, general and
administrative expenses improved from 23.0% in fiscal 1995 to 22.3% in fiscal
1996. The increase in research and development expenses reflects the Company's
commitment to further investments in innovation.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was
$644,000, a decrease of approximately $350,000 from the third quarter of fiscal
1995. For the first nine months, interest expense was $1.8 million, a decrease
of approximately $1.3 million from the first nine months of fiscal 1995. For
both periods, the decrease resulted from lower interest rates and lower
borrowings. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources," below, regarding the
retirement of debt in connection with the Company's initial public offering in
November 1994, and a second offering of common shares in September 1995.



                                        8

Income Before Income Taxes and Extraordinary Item. Income before taxes and
extraordinary item for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $7.0 million
compared to $5.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. For the first
nine months of fiscal 1996, income before income taxes and extraordinary item
was $11.0 million compared to $4.9 million in the comparable period in fiscal
1995. For both periods, the improvement in fiscal 1996 was a result of increased
volume, a higher gross-profit percentage, and lower interest charges, partially
offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses to support the
Company's growth.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $2.8
million, a $2.6 million increase from $143,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
1995. For the first nine months of fiscal 1996, income tax expense was $4.3
million, a $4.1 million increase from $289,000 in the first nine months of
fiscal 1995. For both periods, the increase in income tax expense is the result
of higher pre-tax income in fiscal 1996 and the recognition of $2.0 million of
net deferred tax assets in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 in accordance with
the provisions of FASB Statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

Extraordinary Income (Loss). In the third quarter of fiscal 1995, an
extraordinary credit of $456,000 was recorded for the recognition of the tax
benefit associated with the second quarter extraordinary charge ($1.1 million),
in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." The second quarter extraordinary charge related to the early retirement
of subordinated debt with a portion of the net proceeds of the Company's initial
public offering.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities was $22.8 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996, an increase of $8.3 million over the $14.5 million used
for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The net use of cash is typical for the
first nine months of the fiscal year due to seasonal activity. The increase over
the prior year was related to sales growth, and primarily reflects the increases
in accounts receivable and inventory. Capital expenditures were $2.2 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 1996, an increase of $370,000 over the
comparable period of fiscal 1995.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal
1996 was $25.0 million, an increase of $8.9 million over the $16.1 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 1995. In both periods, the net cash provided by
financing activities represented the net proceeds from the Company's public
offerings during the respective periods after the repayment of a portion of the
Company's outstanding indebtedness, and net proceeds of borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit agreements

In March 1996, the Company renegotiated its domestic revolving credit facility
and term loan, to provide for lower interest rates and the improvement of
certain covenants.

The Company plans certain expansion projects at its Bedford and Philipsburg
facilities, which will be financed in part with approximately $3.0 million in
loans from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority ("PIDA") The
Company expects that the PIDA loan, cash flow generated by its operations and
borrowings under the revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its
planned operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months;
the Company does not have any present plans which would require it to seek
financing from other sources.
