GLOBAL SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Global Sports, Inc. ("Global" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is
an e-Commerce company that is in the process of developing the internet
businesses of several sporting goods retailers through its Global Sports
Interactive subsidiary. On April 20, 1999, the Company formalized a plan to
sell its other two businesses, the Branded division and the Off-Price and Action
Sports division, in order to focus exclusively on its e-Commerce business. See
Note 3.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Global have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions for Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.
The accompanying financial information is unaudited; however, in the opinion
of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results
of the periods reported have been included. The results of operations for the
periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected
for a full year.
This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited financial
statements as of December 31, 1998 as presented in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K/A.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. At September 30, 1999, the Company had $39,455,852 of excess cash
invested in a money market fund with a major financial institution, which is
included in cash and cash equivalents. Interest income for the three-and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 includes $403,938 related to this
investment.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Derivative Instruments: SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000, although early adoption is encouraged. The
Company has not yet assessed what the impact of this statement will be on the
Company's future earnings or financial position.
Computer Costs: In March 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive
Committee issued Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use ("SOP 98-1"). This
statement provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use and identifies the characteristics of
internal-use software. The statement was adopted on January 1, 1999 and did not
have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or
financial position.
Start-Up Costs: In April 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive
Committee issued Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of the
Start-Up Activities, ("SOP 98-5"). The statement requires that costs of start-up
activities, including organization costs, be expensed as incurred. This
statement was adopted on January 1, 1999 and did not have a material effect on
the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 20, 1999, the Company formalized a plan to sell two of its
businesses, the Branded division and the Off-Price and Action Sports division,
in order to focus exclusively on its e-Commerce business. The Branded division
designs and markets the RYKA and Yukon footwear brands. The Off-Price and
Action Sports division is a third-party distributor and make-to-order marketer
of off-price footwear, apparel and sporting goods. Accordingly, for financial
statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash
flows of these divisions have been segregated from those of continuing
operations and are presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements
as discontinued operations. The accompanying financial statements have been
-6-

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
reclassified to reflect this presentation. Net interest expense related to the
lines of credit and debt to be assumed by the successor businesses of $933,365
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 has been allocated to the
pre-measurement date loss from discontinued operations. Net interest expense of
$101,129 and $257,972 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1999, respectively, has been allocated to the post-measurement date gain (loss)
from the disposition of discontinued operations.
On September 24, 1999, the Company and a management group led by James J.
Salter and Kenneth J. Finkelstein entered into an acquisition agreement for the
sale of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company's wholly-
owned subsidiaries Gen-X Holdings Inc. and Gen-X Equipment Inc. and the
Company's Off-Price and Action Sports Division. The aggregate purchase price for
the sale is approximately $20,000,000, of which approximately $6,000,000 is to
be paid at closing, approximately $4,000,000 is the assumption of contingent
notes payable, and $10,000,000 is to be paid over a seven and one half year
period pursuant to the terms of two notes to be delivered at closing. In
connection with the sale, the Company has agreed to accelerate the vesting of
options to acquire an aggregate of 281,930 shares of the Company's common stock,
of which options to acquire 80,000 shares are held by each of Messrs Salter and
Finkelstein. The closing of this sale is subject to customary closing
conditions, including approval by the Company's shareholders and expiration or
termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Upon closing, the gain on this
sale, if any, will be deferred and recognized on an installment-sale basis over
the term of the two notes.
The discontinued operations components of amounts reflected in the income
statements and balance sheets are as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes Payable of Discontinued Operations
Included in Notes Payable, Banks of discontinued operations are amounts
outstanding under a line of credit of approximately $20,000,000 for use by the
Gen-X Companies, which is available for either direct borrowing or for import

is secured by a general security agreement covering substantially all of the
Gen-X Companies' assets. At September 30, 1999, draws of $12,100,000 were
committed under this line and, based on a net cash position and available
collateral and outstanding import letters of credit commitments, an additional
$3,200,000 was available for borrowing. For the three- and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1999, interest expense of discontinued operations included

and $16,645, respectively, related to this mortgage.
Notes Payable, Other includes an outstanding loan payable for
$1,300,000, of which $400,000 is classified as current. The original loan of

commenced on March 31, 1998, and bears interest at the prime lending rate. For
the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, interest expense of
discontinued operations included $28,518 and $87,967, respectively, related to
this loan.
Notes payable, other also includes $1,000,000 of promissory notes
payable to the former shareholders of Lamar. The notes are payable in five
equal annual installments and bear interest at 6% per annum, the first payment
of which was made in July 1999. At September 30, 1999, $726,500 remains
outstanding related to these notes, of which $270,680 is classified as current.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, interest
expense of discontinued operations included $14,020 and $97,558, respectively,
related to these notes. At the time of the acquisition, Lamar also executed a
note payable in the principal amount of $553,447, plus $74,954 in accrued
interest, for amounts owed to a shareholder. This note, which was assumed by
the Company in the acquisition of Lamar, is payable in five equal annual
installments and bears interest at 6% per annum. The amount currently
outstanding on this note is $502,721, of which $111,933 is classified as
current. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999,
interest expense of discontinued operations included $8,426 and $27,278,
respectively, related to this note.
Upon closing the acquisition of the Gen-X Companies, the Company
executed several subordinated notes payable with the former shareholders of the
Gen-X Companies for an aggregate principal amount of $1,999,065 which is
payable in four equal consecutive quarterly payments beginning March 31, 1999 or
earlier. This amount has been repaid in full as of September 30, 1999. These
notes bear interest at 7% until December 31, 1998 and the prime lending rate
thereafter. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, interest
expense of discontinued operations included $68,257 related to these notes.
Employment Agreements of Discontinued Operations
The Company has employment agreements with several of its officers of
discontinued operations for an aggregate annual base salary of $925,000 plus
bonuses and increases in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Terms of
the agreements range from three to five years and are subject to automatic
annual extensions.
Purchase Commitments of Discontinued Operations
As of September 30, 1999, outstanding purchase commitments of

into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements for the sale of 6,153,850
shares of the Company's common stock to SOFTBANK at a price of $13.00 per share
(the closing price on May 26, 1999, the day prior to the day the Company and
SOFTBANK agreed in principle to the transaction) for an aggregate purchase price
of $80,000,050. In order to provide capital to the Company until closing, which
occurred on July 23, 1999, the Company and SOFTBANK entered into an interim
subordinated loan agreement on June 10, 1999
-8-
GLOBAL SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
pursuant to which SOFTBANK loaned the Company $15,000,000. The note bore
interest at 4.98% per annum. At the July 23, 1999 closing, this loan amount was
converted into shares of the Company's common stock. Accrued and unpaid interest
as of July 23, 1999 of $89,225 was offset against the cash proceeds of the sale
at closing. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999,
interest expense included $45,650 and $89,225, respectively, related to this
interim loan.
NOTE 5 - DEBT
Notes Payable, Bank
Under its primary loan agreement, as subsequently amended (the "Loan
Agreement"), the Company has access to a combined credit facility of
$40,000,000, which is comprised of KPR Sports International, Inc.'s ("KPR")
credit facility of $35,000,000 and RYKA Inc.'s credit facility of $5,000,000.
The term of the Loan Agreement is five years expiring on November 19, 2002. The
KPR and RYKA facilities have an interest rate choice of prime plus 1/4% or LIBOR
(Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) plus two hundred seventy-five basis points. Under
the Loan Agreement, both KPR and RYKA may borrow up to the amount of their
revolving line based upon 85% of their eligible accounts receivable and 65% of
their eligible inventory, as those terms are defined in the Loan Agreement. The
Loan Agreement also includes 50% of outstanding import letters of credit as
collateral for borrowing.
Among other things, the Loan Agreement, as amended, requires KPR and RYKA
to achieve annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") of $5,000,000 and it limits the Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness, make payments on subordinated indebtedness, make capital
expenditures, sell assets, and pay dividends. At September 30, 1999, the
Company was not in compliance with the EBITDA covenant. The Company obtained a
waiver from the bank with respect to this covenant. Because there can be no
assurance that the Company will be in compliance with this covenant for any
period subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company has classified the amounts
outstanding under this line as a current liability. The Company is currently in
negotiations with its lender to modify the terms of the Loan Agreement to return
itself to compliance and more closely reflect its new e-commerce business
structure.
At September 30, 1999, the aggregate amount outstanding under this line
was $3,699,207. At September 30, 1999, based on available collateral and
outstanding import letters of credit commitments, an additional $1,671,828 was
available on this line for borrowing. For the three- and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1999, interest expense included $124,583 and $958,841,
respectively, related to this line of credit.
Subordinated Notes Payable
Prior to July 27, 1999, the Company had $1,805,841 in outstanding
subordinated notes payable held by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
This debt consisted primarily of a note representing undistributed Subchapter S
corporation retained earnings previously taxed to him as the sole shareholder of
KPR Sports International, Inc., Apex Sports International, Inc. and MR
Management, Inc. (collectively the "KPR Companies") prior to the Company's
reorganization in December 1997. Interest accrues on such notes at the Company's
choice of prime plus 1/4% or LIBOR (Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) plus two hundred
seventy-five basis points.
Based on its Loan Agreement, the Company is permitted to make continued
regular payments of interest on the subordinated debt and to further reduce
principal on a quarterly basis, commencing subsequent to the first quarter of

which a waiver was obtained from the Company's primary lender. For the three-
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, interest expense included
$11,020 and $82,661, respectively, related to these notes.

The Company granted options and warrants to purchase 447,300 and 1,152,782
shares of the Company's common stock to employees and consultants of the Company
during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively.
The Company also issued warrants to purchase 293,320 shares of the Company's
common stock during June 1999 to several retailers in connection with the
Company's developing e-Commerce business. The range of exercise prices for all
options and warrants granted was from $15.00 to $24.69 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999 and $0.01 to $24.69 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1999. Upon granting these options and warrants, the Company
recorded stock-based compensation expense of $275,592 and $2,671,856 for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, primarily
as a result of non-employee grants. For the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30,1999, $17,793 and $107,200, respectively, of this stock-based
compensation expense was included in the net loss from discontinued operations.
Options and warrants to purchase 73,804 and 331,037 shares of the Company's
common stock were exercised during the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1999, respectively. The range of exercise prices was from $3.20
to $13.00 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 and $0.01 to
$13.20 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. These exercises
resulted in cash proceeds to the Company of $93,343 and $1,341,826 for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively.
On June 10, 1999, the Company and SOFTBANK America Inc. ("SOFTBANK") entered
into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements for the sale of 6,153,850
shares of the Company's common stock to SOFTBANK at a price of $13.00 per share
for an aggregate purchase price of $80,000,050. See Note 4.
On July 13, 1999, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation that increased the maximum number of authorized
shares of common stock by 40,000,000 to 60,000,000.
NOTE 11 - RESTATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, the
Company's management determined that the discount applied to the fair value of
the Company's common stock issued as consideration for the Gen-X Companies in
May 1998 should be decreased from 35% to 10%. As a result, the consolidated
financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1998 were restated to reflect an additional $2,486,625 of consideration paid for
the Gen-X Companies and additional amortization of goodwill of $46,624 for the
period from May 12, 1998 through September 30, 1998 (the "1998 Restatement"). As
a result of the 1998 Restatement, the consolidated financial statements for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 have been restated from
amounts previously reported to reflect the cumulative effect of the 1998
Restatement through December 31, 1998 and additional amortization of goodwill of
$-- and $36,263 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999,
respectively. The effect of these restatements on management's assessment of the
anticipated gain or loss on the ultimate disposition of the Off-Price and Action
Sports Division result in the accrual of an additional loss on disposition of
discontinued operations of $2,372,655 and a corresponding decrease in net assets
of discontinued operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Additionally, the Company's management determined that the number of
warrants issuable to retailers in June 1999 should be reduced, additional
warrants were issuable to a consultant of the Company, the discount applied in
the valuation of certain stock-based awards to non-employees should be decreased
from 25% to 10% and that certain equity compensation charges previously recorded
should be deferred over the future service term of the award. See Note 9 --
Equity Transactions. The net effect of these restatements result in a net
decrease to stock-based compensation expense of continuing operations of
$813,821 and $160,830 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A
contains forward looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder),
including without limitation, statements as to the Company's financial
condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources and
statements as to management's beliefs, expectations or options. Such forward
looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by
various factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those
in the forward looking statements. Certain of these risks, uncertainties and
other factors, as and when applicable, are discussed in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Form
10-K/A, a copy of which may be obtained from the Company upon request and
without charge (except for the exhibits thereto).
STRATEGIC BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
This discussion summarizes the significant factors that affected Global's
consolidated operating results and financial condition during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Over this period, the Company has undergone a
significant transformation.
Acquisition of the Gen-X Companies
Effective May 12, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding and
issued common stock of the Gen-X Companies in a purchase transaction. The
Company's reported results of operations for 1998 include those of the Gen-X
Companies only from the date of acquisition through the end of the year.
Discontinued Operations
On April 20, 1999, the Company formalized a plan to sell two of its
businesses, the Branded division and the Off-Price and Action Sports division,
in order to focus exclusively on the development of new businesses. The Branded
division designs and markets the RYKA and Yukon footwear brands. The Off-Price
and Action Sports division is a third-party distributor and make-to-order
marketer of off-price footwear, apparel and sporting goods. Accordingly, for
financial statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and
cash flows of these divisions have been segregated from those of continuing
operations and are presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements
as discontinued operations. The accompanying financial statements have been
reclassified to reflect this presentation.
Global Sports Interactive
On May 10, 1999, the Company announced the formation of a new subsidiary,
Global Sports Interactive. Global Sports Interactive is an e-Commerce company
that has entered into exclusive agreements to operate the internet businesses of
multiple sporting goods retailers. The Company's failure to meet these
commitments could result in a forfeiture of the contracts and the exclusive
rights to certain future internet business and have a material adverse affect on
the future results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
Due to the fact that the Company had not, as of September 30, 1999, launched
its initial five e-tailing web sites, results from continuing operations for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 consist only of the
operating expenses incurred during the period related to the e-commerce
business.
Restatements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, the
Company's management determined that the discount applied to the fair value of
the Company's common stock issued as consideration for the Gen-X Companies in
May 1998 should be decreased from 35% to 10%. As a result, the consolidated
financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1998 were restated to reflect an additional $2,486,625 of consideration paid for
the Gen-X Companies and additional amortization of goodwill of $46,624 for the
period from May 12, 1998 through September 30, 1998 (the "1998 Restatement"). As
a result of the 1998 Restatement, the consolidated financial statements for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 have been restated from
amounts previously reported to reflect the cumulative effect of the 1998
Restatement through December 31, 1998 and additional amortization of goodwill of
$-- and $36,263 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999,
respectively. The effect of these restatements on management's assessment of the
anticipated gain or loss on the ultimate disposition of the Off-Price and Action
Sports Division result in the accrual of an additional loss on disposition of
discontinued operations of $2,372,655 and a corresponding decrease in net assets
of discontinued operations.
Additionally, the Company's management determined that the number of
warrants issuable to retailers in June 1999 should be reduced, additional
warrants were issuable to a consultant of the Company, the discount applied in
the valuation of certain stock-based awards to non-employees should be decreased
from 25% to 10% and that certain equity compensation charges previously recorded
should be deferred over the future service term of the award. See Note 9 --
Equity Transactions. The net effect of these restatements result in a net
decrease to stock-based compensation expense of continuing operations of
$813,821 and $160,830 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1999. See Note 11 to the financial statements.

===============================================================
Costs and Expenses
Costs and expenses of continuing operations for the three- and nine-
month periods ended September 30, 1999 were $7,116,645 and $13,321,831,
respectively. Operating expenses from continuing operations consisted of
expenditures associated with the production of the Company's initial five e-
Commerce web-sites and general and administrative expenses related to the day-
to-day development and operating activities of the Company. Costs and expenses
of continuing operations also includes charges for equity compensation of
$257,799 and $2,564,656 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1999, respectively, primarily as a result of non-employee stock option
grants.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash Flows
Historically, the operations of the Company have been financed by a
combination of internally generated resources, equity transactions, subordinated
borrowings, annual increases in the size of its bank credit facility and
seasonal over-advances. Increases in the bank credit facilities were required to
fund the Company's increased investment in accounts receivable and inventory
necessary to support the increases in revenue.
On June 10, 1999, the Company and SOFTBANK America Inc. ("SOFTBANK") entered
into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements for the sale of 6,153,850
shares of the Company's common stock to SOFTBANK at a price of $13.00 per share
(the closing price on May 26, 1999, the day prior to the day the Company and
SOFTBANK agreed in principle to the transaction) for an aggregate purchase price
of $80,000,050. In order to provide capital to the Company until closing, which
occurred on July 23, 1999, the Company and SOFTBANK entered into an interim
convertible subordinated loan agreement on June 10, 1999 pursuant to which
SOFTBANK loaned the Company $15,000,000. This loan amount was converted into
shares of the Company's common stock at closing. On July 23, 1999, the Company
received the remaining $65,000,050. The Company intends to use the proceeds to
repay the balance on one of its lines of credit, to reduce trade payables and to
provide working capital for the new e-Commerce business.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had net working capital of $70,668,407,
which includes $43,012,442 of net assets of discontinued operations. The Company
used $11,154,675 in cash flows from operating activities of continuing
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, whereas in the same
period of the prior year the Company used $2,255,084 in cash flows from
operating activities of continuing operations.
-15-
Liquidity
On June 10, 1999, the Company and SOFTBANK entered into a stock purchase
agreement and related agreements for the sale of 6,153,850 shares of the
Company's common stock to SOFTBANK at a price of $13.00 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $80,000,050. In order to provide capital to the
Company until closing, which occurred on July 23, 1999, the Company and SOFTBANK
entered into an interim loan agreement on June 10, 1999 pursuant to which
SOFTBANK loaned the Company $15,000,000. This loan amount was converted into
shares of the Company's common stock at closing.
On April 20, 1999, the Company formalized a plan to sell two of its
businesses, the Branded division and the Off-Price and Action Sports division,
in order to focus exclusively on its e-Commerce business. Management expects
that these sales will result in substantial proceeds to the Company.
Under its current loan agreement, as subsequently amended (the "Loan
Agreement"), the Company has access to a combined credit facility of
$40,000,000. The term of the Loan Agreement is five years. The loans have an
interest rate choice of prime plus 1/4% or LIBOR (Adjusted Eurodollar Rate)
plus two hundred seventy-five basis points. Under this credit facility, both
KPR Sports International, Inc. ("KPR") and RYKA may borrow up to the amount of
their revolving line based upon 85% of their eligible accounts receivable and
65% of their eligible inventory, as those terms are defined in the Loan
Agreement. The Loan Agreement also includes 50% of outstanding import letters
of credit as collateral for borrowing.
Among other things, the Loan Agreement, as amended, requires KPR and RYKA to
achieve annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") of $5,000,000 and it limits the Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness, make payments on subordinated indebtedness, make capital
expenditures, sell assets, and pay dividends. At September 30, 1999, the
Company was not in compliance with the EBITDA covenant. The Company obtained a
waiver from the bank with respect to this covenant. Because there can be no
assurance that the Company will be in compliance with this covenant for any
period subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company has classified the amounts
outstanding under this line as a current liability. The Company is currently in
negotiations with its lender to modify the terms of the Loan Agreement to return
itself to compliance.
At September 30, 1999, the aggregate amount outstanding under this line was
$3,699,207. At September 30, 1999, based on available collateral and
outstanding import letters of credit commitments, an additional $1,671,828 was
available on this line for borrowing.
As of the closing of the Loan Agreement, KPR Sports International, Inc., Apex
Sports International, Inc. and MR Management, Inc. (collectively the "KPR
Companies") owed Michael Rubin, its Chairman and CEO, subordinated debt of
$3,055,841 which is comprised of (i) a loan from Mr. Rubin to the KPR Companies
in the principal amount of $851,440, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such
loan of $180,517 through October 31, 1997 and (ii) a note in the principal
amount of $2,204,401 representing undistributed Subchapter S corporation
retained earnings previously taxed to him as the sole shareholder of the KPR
Companies. No interest accrued on the note representing Subchapter S
corporation earnings until December 15, 1997 at which time the interest began
to accrue on such note at a choice of prime plus 1/4% or LIBOR (Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate) plus two hundred seventy-five basis points. The Loan Agreement
and the related Subordination Agreement allowed the Company to repay Mr. Rubin
$1,000,000 of the subordinated debt principal and the accrued interest of
$180,517 at the time of the closing of the Loan Agreement or within five days
thereafter, subject to there being $2,000,000 of availability under the KPR
Companies' credit line after taking into account such payments. Such payments
were made to Mr. Rubin on November 26, 1997. In addition, the Loan Agreement
and the Subordination Agreement permit the KPR Companies to make continued
regular payments of interest on the subordinated debt and to further reduce
principal on a quarterly basis, commencing with the first quarter of 1998, in an
amount up to 50% of the cumulative consolidated net income of both borrowers,
reduced by net losses of the borrowers during such period. During 1998,
aggregate principal payments of $250,000 were made. On July 27, 1999, the
principal balance of $1,805,841 plus interest accrued to date of $58,987 was
repaid in full to Mr. Rubin.
The Company has made certain commitments with respect to developing the
internet businesses of several sporting goods retailers and the execution of a
substantial advertising and promotion agreement with Yahoo! Inc. Management
expects that the proceeds from the SOFTBANK transactions and the sale of the
Branded division and the Off-Price and Action Sports division will result in
adequate financing to allow the Company to continue the development of its e-
Commerce business and meet its obligations as they mature during the foreseeable
future.

YEAR 2000
The Company recognizes the importance of advanced computerization in
maintaining and improving its level of service, internal and external
communication and overall competitive position. The Company maintains a
management information system that provides, among other things, comprehensive
customer order processing, inventory, production, accounting and management
information for the marketing, selling, manufacturing and distribution functions
of the Company's business. The Company has created a Year 2000 project team
which is coordinating efforts to evaluate, identify, correct or reprogram, and
test the Company's existing systems Year 2000 compliance. The Company enhanced
its key information systems to improve their functionality and increase
performance during the first quarter of 1999. These upgrades also made these
applications Year 2000 compliant. The final step of the Company's Year 2000 plan
is to update its office networking system software which it expects to finish
shortly after the end of the third quarter of 1999. The Company does not expect
the costs of this step to have a material impact on the Company's results of
operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources. The Company is
in the process of developing a contingency plan in the event that the above
modifications do not result in Year 2000 compliance. In addition to making its
own systems Year 2000 compliant, the Company is in the process of contacting its
key suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which the systems of such
suppliers and customers are Year 2000 compliant and the extent to which the
Company could be affected by the failure of such third parties to become Year
2000 compliant. The Company cannot presently estimate the impact of the failure
of such third parties to become Year 2000 Compliant. See "Risk Factors - Risks
Relating to Year 2000 Compliance" in the Company's most recent Form 10-K/A.
