3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE AMOUNTS

         Earnings 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 and common stock equivalents used in the computation of earnings per share
was 9,052,445 and 7,567,905 for the three-month periods ended September 28, 1996
and September 30, 1995, respectively. Common stock equivalents include options
to purchase common stock.

4.  DEBT

        In July 1996, Cannondale Europe B.V. amended and restated its existing
credit facility to refinance approximately $3.0 of the credit line on a
long-term basis. The interest rate on the long-term balance is adjusted
quarterly to market rates determined by the bank with a ceiling of 7.6% (the
rate was 5.6% at September 28, 1996).

5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On September 29, 1996, the Company sold its domestic headquarters 
facility to an entity controlled by the Company's Chairman, President and 
Chief Executive Officer and another director of the Company for $1,676,000, 
an amount which approximated the net book value of the domestic headquarters 
facility at the date of sale. Based on information provided by an independent 
third party the Company believes that this amount reflects current market 
value. Pending its relocation to a new headquarters facility, the Company 
will continue to occupy the current facility on a month-to-month net lease of 
$16,000 per month. Based on an area survey of similar properties by an 
independent third party, the Company believes this amount reflects current
fair rental value.

Item 2.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales. Net sales increased 15.0% from $26.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 to $30.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase
of $4.1 million. The increase in sales was a result of the continued worldwide
demand for Cannondale products, a sales mix that favored international markets
and growth in the Company's non-bike categories.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 33.1% for
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 30.1% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. The gross profit for the quarter was $10.2 million, an increase of
$2.1 million, or 26.4%, over the gross profit of $8.1 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. The improvement in gross profit reflects a mix that
favored international markets, an increase in non-bike sales, cost-reduction
programs, and the Company's continued integration of proprietary technology
through the use of Cannondale bicycle frames, CODA components and HeadShok
suspension systems.

Operation Expenses. Operating expenses were $9.1 million for the first quarter
of fiscal 1997, an increase of approximately $1.8 million, or 24.8%, over the
first quarter operating expenses for fiscal 1996 of $7.3 million. Increases in
selling, general and administrative expenses accounted for a substantial
portion of the increase and are directly associated with increased sales, and
the additional personnel and marketing costs to support the Company's current
and planned growth. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses
increased to approximately 29.5% for the first three months of fiscal 1997,
compared to 27.1% for the first three months of fiscal 1996.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was
$349,000, a decrease of approximately $369,000 from the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. The decrease was primarily attributed to lower borrowings as a
result of the use of proceeds from the Company's public offering of common
shares in September 1995. The decrease in interest expense also reflects the
lower interest rates negotiated as a result of the Company's improved
performance and capitalization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to $669,000 used in operating activities for
the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in cash provided, compared to
the prior year, was primarily attributed to the relatively larger decrease in
accounts receivable in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 versus the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. Capital expenditures were $1.6 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to $554,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
1996. The increase in spending primarily reflects the Company's investment in
its facilities' expansion, which is required to support the increases in
production volume and future growth.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of fiscal
1997 was $489,000, compared to $2.0 million for the first three months of
fiscal 1996. During the first three months of fiscal 1997, Cannondale Europe
B.V. amended and restated its credit facility to refinance approximately 
$3.0 million on a long-term basis from a short-term basis to take advantage 
of favorable interest rates. The net cash provided by financing activities in 
fiscal 1996 reflects the net proceeds from the public offering of common 
shares in September 1995, which were used to reduce borrowings under the 
Company's revolving line of credit.

The Company expects that 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 the foreseeable future.
