footwear, operating 282 stores at September&nbsp;28, 2003 in California, Washington,

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to
present fairly and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP)&nbsp;the financial position as of September
28, 2003 and December&nbsp;29, 2002 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the 13 and 39&nbsp;week periods ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 and September&nbsp;29, 2002.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission; however, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended
December&nbsp;29, 2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June 2002, we completed an initial public offering (IPO)&nbsp;of 8.1&nbsp;million
shares of common stock, of which 1.6&nbsp;million shares were sold by selling
stockholders. In July 2002, our underwriters exercised their right to purchase
an additional 1.2&nbsp;million shares through their over-allotment option, of which
0.5&nbsp;million shares were sold by selling stockholders. With net proceeds of
$76.1&nbsp;million from the offering and total net proceeds of $84.0&nbsp;million after
exercise of the underwriters&#146; over-allotment option, and together with
borrowings under our credit facility, we redeemed all of our outstanding senior
discount notes and preferred stock, paid bonuses to executive officers and
directors which were funded by a reduction in the redemption price otherwise
applicable to our preferred stock and repurchased 0.5&nbsp;million shares of our
common stock from non-executive employees. In the first quarter of
fiscal 2003 we redeemed $20.0&nbsp;million face value of our
10.875% senior notes due 2007 using borrowings under our credit
facility.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">to evaluate our operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring
financial effects of the IPO in 2002, including the exercise of the
underwriters&#146; over-allotment option, or certain financial effects of the 2003
partial senior note redemption. We believe this presentation will provide
investors with additional insight into our operating results. The pro forma
figures assume that the IPO took place at the beginning of 2002 and exclude the
effects of certain IPO-related expenses and debt redemption premiums. The
following table contains a reconciliation of the pro forma adjustments to GAAP
for the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002 and 39&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002
and September&nbsp;28, 2003. There were no pro forma adjustments related to the IPO
or debt redemption for the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003.

    <TD><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)&nbsp;issued EITF Issue
No.&nbsp;02-16, <I>&#147;Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor.&#148; </I>EITF Issue No.&nbsp;02-16 addresses the
timing of recognition and classification of consideration received from
vendors, including rebates or allowances. EITF Issue No.&nbsp;02-16 presumes that
cash consideration received from a vendor represents a reduction of the prices
of the vendor&#146;s products or services and should, therefore, be characterized as
a reduction in cost of sales unless (i)&nbsp;it is a payment for assets or services
delivered to the vendor, in which case the cash consideration should be
characterized as revenue, or (ii)&nbsp;it is a reimbursement of costs incurred to
sell the vendor&#146;s products, in which case the cash consideration should be
characterized as a reduction of that cost. EITF No.&nbsp;02-16 became effective for
us in the first quarter of 2003, and had no impact on our financial statements,
as we have historically accounted for vendor payments in accordance with the
provisions of this standard.</FONT></TD>

    <TD><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In January 2003, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;145, <I>&#147;Rescission of
FASB Statements No.&nbsp;4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13, and
Technical Corrections.&#148;</I> SFAS No.&nbsp;145 provides that the gain or loss recognized
upon early debt extinguishment may no longer be classified as extraordinary,
but rather must be recognized as a component of net income before extraordinary
items, if any. We recognized $1.5&nbsp;million and $4.6&nbsp;million in premium and
related unamortized financing fees in the 39&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 and
September&nbsp;29, 2002, respectively. The $1.5&nbsp;million charge in the first 39
weeks of 2003 resulted from a $1.1&nbsp;million premium related to the redemption of
$20.0&nbsp;million face value of our 10.875% senior notes and the related carrying
value of applicable deferred financing costs which totaled $0.4&nbsp;million in the
first quarter of 2003. The $4.6&nbsp;million charge in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of 2002
resulted from the repurchase of $2.5&nbsp;million face value of our senior discount
notes and $0.5&nbsp;million face value of our 10.875% senior notes in the first
quarter of 2002 and redemption in the third quarter of 2002 of all of our remaining senior discount notes
for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $27.5&nbsp;million. The $4.6&nbsp;million charge consists of $4.0
million in redemption premium and $0.6&nbsp;million in unamortized deferred
financing costs associated with the related debt.</FONT></TD>

presented, net of merchandise returns. Same store sales for a period reflect
net sales from stores operated throughout that period as well as the
corresponding prior period. New store sales for a period reflect net sales
from stores opened in that period as well as net sales from stores opened
during the prior fiscal year. Stores that are relocated during any period are
treated as new stores.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial
condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different
assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses
our critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to
the portrayal of our financial condition.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Valuation of Inventory</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market using the weighted
average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO)&nbsp;method.
Management has evaluated the current level of inventories in comparison to
planned sales volume and other factors and, based on this evaluation, has
recorded adjustments to inventory and cost of goods sold for estimated
decreases in inventory value. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary
significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future
economic conditions, consumer demand and competitive environments differ from
our expectations. We are not aware of any events or changes in demand or price
that would indicate to us that our inventory valuation may be inaccurate at
this time.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Valuation of Long-Lived Assets</I>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the
assets to future net cash flows estimated by us to be generated by these
assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
fair value of the assets. We are not aware of any events or changes in
circumstances that would indicate to us that our long-lived assets are impaired
or that would require an impairment consideration at this time.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Sales. Net sales increased by $12.4&nbsp;million, or 7.2%, to $183.3
million in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 from $170.9&nbsp;million in the
same period last year. This growth reflected an increase of $5.6&nbsp;million in
same store sales and an increase of $7.1&nbsp;million in new store sales, which
reflected the opening of 21 new stores since June&nbsp;30, 2002. The remaining
variance was attributable to net sales from closed stores. Same store sales
increased 3.3% in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 versus the same period
last year, representing the thirty-first consecutive quarterly increase in same
store sales over comparable prior periods. This 3.3% increase in same store
sales was attributable to higher sales in each of our three major product
categories of footwear, hard goods and apparel, with the apparel category
providing the strongest performance. Store count at September&nbsp;28, 2003 was 282
versus 265 at September&nbsp;29, 2002. We opened seven new stores in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 and we opened four new stores in
the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002. We expect to open eleven new stores
during the remainder of fiscal 2003. Subsequent to September&nbsp;28,
2003, there were a significant number of fires throughout the
Southern California region. While we initially saw a slight decrease
in our sales as a result of the fires, we do not believe these fires will have a significant
impact on our fourth quarter or full fiscal year sales.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $6.1&nbsp;million, or 10.3%, to
$65.2&nbsp;million in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 from $59.1&nbsp;million in
the same period last year.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Gross profit margin was 35.6% in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003
compared to 34.6% in the same period last year. We were able to achieve higher
gross profit margins primarily due to improved product selling margin
comparisons in each of our three major product categories. These increases
were partially offset by a 0.1% increase in distribution costs when measured as
a percentage of sales resulting primarily from increased
trucking-related costs.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses
increased by $3.8&nbsp;million, or 8.8%, to $48.3&nbsp;million in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended
September&nbsp;28, 2003 from $44.5&nbsp;million in the same period last year. The
increase was driven by a $2.5&nbsp;million increase in store-related expenses
primarily resulting from the need to support our store growth, increased employee health
benefit costs, increased workers&#146; compensation costs and higher credit and
debit card fees related to increased use of credit and debit cards by our
customers. Our advertising expenses increased by $1.6&nbsp;million due
to a difference in the timing of advertising expenses, an increase in
the number of stores since the same period last year, and a printing
cost credit recorded in the third quarter of last year. These
absolute and percentage increases in selling and administrative were
not as high as they otherwise might have been, because during the 13
weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002, we incurred expenses in
connection with our IPO. These expenses include bonuses paid to our executive officers and directors
which totaled $0.5&nbsp;million and were funded through a reduction of the redemption
price that would otherwise have been applicable to the redemption of our
outstanding preferred stock. When measured as a percentage of net sales,
selling and administrative expenses were 26.4% for the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September
28, 2003 compared to 26.0%, including IPO related expenses, for the same period
last year.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased $0.3&nbsp;million, or 10.7%, to $2.6&nbsp;million for the 13&nbsp;weeks ended
September&nbsp;28, 2003 from $2.3&nbsp;million for the same period
last year, primarily
due to the increase in store count to 282 stores at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 2003 from 265 stores at the end of the third
quarter of
fiscal 2002.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Premium and Unamortized Financing Fees Related to Redemption of Debt.
There were no premium and unamortized financing fees related to redemption of
debt in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 versus $4.5&nbsp;million in the 13
weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002. The $4.5&nbsp;million charge in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended
September&nbsp;29, 2002 resulted from the redemption in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 following our IPO of all of our remaining senior
discount notes for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $27.5&nbsp;million.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net decreased by $0.7
million, or 18.3%, to $2.8&nbsp;million in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003
from $3.5&nbsp;million in the same period last year. This decrease reflected lower
overall debt balances in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 versus the 13
weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002, lower average interest rates on our credit
facility in the 13&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 versus the 13&nbsp;weeks ended
September&nbsp;29, 2002, and lower average interest costs associated with the use of
borrowings from our credit facility to redeem $20.0&nbsp;million of our 10.875%
senior notes during the first quarter of fiscal 2003. In the third quarter of
fiscal 2002, we used some of

weeks ended September&nbsp;28, 2003 and $1.7&nbsp;million for the 13&nbsp;weeks ended
September&nbsp;29, 2002. Our effective income tax rate was 41% for both periods.
Income taxes are based upon the estimated effective tax rate for the entire
fiscal year applied to pre-tax income for the year. The effective rate is
subject to ongoing evaluation by management.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Sales. Net sales increased by $27.2&nbsp;million, or 5.5%, to $517.9
million in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 from $490.7&nbsp;million in the same
period last year. This growth reflected an increase of $8.0&nbsp;million in same
store sales and an increase of $19.4&nbsp;million in new store sales, which
reflected the opening of eight new stores during the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal
2003 and 15 new stores in fiscal 2002. The remaining variance was attributable
to net sales from closed stores. Same store sales increased 1.6% in the first
39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 versus the same period last year. The increase in same
store sales was attributable to higher sales in each of our three major product
categories of footwear, hard goods and apparel, with the apparel category
providing the strongest performance. Store count at September&nbsp;28, 2003 was 282
versus 265 at September&nbsp;29, 2002. We opened eight new stores and closed one
store in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 and we opened five new stores in the
first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2002. We expect to open approximately eleven new
stores during the remainder of fiscal 2003. Subsequent to
September&nbsp;28, 2003, there were a significant number of fires
throughout the Southern California region. While we initially saw a
slight decrease in our sales as a result of the fires, we do not believe these fires
will have a significant impact on our fourth quarter or full fiscal year
sales.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $12.0&nbsp;million, or 6.9%, to
$185.7&nbsp;million in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 from $173.7&nbsp;million in the
same period last year. Gross profit margin was 35.8% in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of
fiscal 2003 compared to 35.4% in the same period last year. We were able to
achieve higher gross profit margins primarily due to improved selling margins
in each of our three major product categories, partially offset by higher
occupancy and distribution center costs when measured as a percentage of sales
resulting from a smaller than expected growth in net sales.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses
increased by $7.6&nbsp;million, or 5.8%, to $140.0&nbsp;million in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of
fiscal 2003 from $132.4&nbsp;million in the same period last year. The increase was
driven by a $7.0&nbsp;million increase in store-related expenses primarily resulting
from the need to support our store growth, increased employee health benefit costs,
increased workers&#146; compensation costs and higher credit and debit card fees
related to increased use of credit and debit cards by our customers.
Our advertising expenses increased by $2.5&nbsp;million due to our
store growth and a printing cost credit received in the third quarter
of last year. Insurance-related costs increased by $0.3&nbsp;million,
primarily as a result of increased directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance
premiums after our IPO. These absolute and percentage increases in
selling and administrative were not as high as they otherwise might
have been, because during the 39 weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002,
we incurred expenses in connection with our IPO. These expenses include management services agreement fees and termination costs
paid to Leonard Green &#038; Associates, L.P., an affiliate of Leonard Green &#038;
Partners, L.P., which were $1.0&nbsp;million in the 39&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;29,
2002, as well as bonuses paid to our executive officers and directors during
the 39&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002. The bonuses for that period totaled
$2.0&nbsp;million and were funded through a reduction of the redemption price that
would otherwise have been applicable to the redemption of our outstanding
preferred stock. When measured as a percentage of net sales, selling and
administrative expenses were 27.0% for the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003
compared to 27.0%, including IPO related expenses, for the same period last
year.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $0.4&nbsp;million, or 6.6%, to $7.6&nbsp;million in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of
fiscal 2003 from $7.2&nbsp;million in the same period last year, primarily due to the
increase in store count to 282 stores at the end of the third quarter
of fiscal
2003 from 265 stores at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2002.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Premium and Unamortized Financing Fees Related to Redemption of Debt.
Premium and unamortized financing fees related to redemption of debt were $1.5
million in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 versus $4.6&nbsp;million in the first
39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2002. The $1.5&nbsp;million charge in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of
fiscal 2003 resulted from a $1.1&nbsp;million premium related to the redemption of
$20.0&nbsp;million face value of our 10.875% senior notes and the related carrying
value of applicable deferred financing costs which totaled $0.4&nbsp;million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2003. The $4.6&nbsp;million charge in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of
fiscal 2002 resulted from the repurchase of $2.5&nbsp;million face value of our
senior discount notes and $0.5&nbsp;million face value of our 10.875% senior notes
in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and redemption of all of our remaining
senior discount notes for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $27.5
million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 following our IPO. The
$4.6&nbsp;million charge consists of $4.0&nbsp;million in redemption premium and $0.6
million in unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the related
debt.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net decreased by $3.6
million, or 28.9%, to $8.7&nbsp;million in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 from
$12.3&nbsp;million in the same period last year. This decrease reflected lower
interest rates on our credit facility in the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003
versus the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2002 and lower average interest costs
associated with the use of borrowings from our credit facility to redeem $20.0
million of our 10.875% senior notes during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

2002. Our effective income tax rate was 41% for both periods. Income taxes
are based upon the estimated effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year
applied to pre-tax income for the year. The effective rate is subject to
ongoing evaluation by management.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital and capital
expenditures. We fund our liquidity requirements with cash flow from
operations and borrowings under our credit facility.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash provided by operating activities for the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal
2003 and fiscal 2002 was $14.9&nbsp;million and $7.2&nbsp;million, respectively. The
change between periods primarily reflects higher net income in the first 39
weeks of fiscal 2003 and the payment of a legal settlement of
a wage/hour class action lawsuit during the 39&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capital expenditures for the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 and 2002 were
$4.8&nbsp;million and $4.4&nbsp;million, respectively. We expect capital expenditures
for the remaining 13&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2003 will range from $6.0 to $7.0&nbsp;million,
primarily to fund the opening of 11 new stores, store improvements and
remodelings, warehouse and headquarters improvements and computer hardware and
software expenditures. Our store format requires a low investment in furniture
and equipment (approximately $0.4&nbsp;million), working capital (approximately $0.4
million, net of amount financed by vendors through trade payables, which is
typically one-third) and real estate (leased &#147;built-to-suit&#148; locations). Based on our expected net sales
and store growth, we currently plan to replace our existing
distribution center during the next 15 to 18&nbsp;months at a cost of
approximately $15&nbsp;million. We expect to fund these capital
expenditures from operating cash flows and borrowings under our
revolving credit facility. We anticipate that these expenditures will
be incurred primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and the
first half of fiscal 2005.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash used by financing activities for the first 39&nbsp;weeks of fiscal
2003 and fiscal 2002 was $13.6&nbsp;million and $4.0&nbsp;million, respectively. As of
September&nbsp;28, 2003, we had borrowings of $33.4&nbsp;million and letter of credit
commitments of $5.8&nbsp;million outstanding under our credit facility and $82.9
million of our 10.875% senior notes outstanding. These balances compare to
borrowings of $44.7&nbsp;million and letter of credit commitments of $7.9&nbsp;million
outstanding under our prior credit facility and $103.3&nbsp;million of our 10.875%
senior notes outstanding as of September&nbsp;29, 2002. In the third quarter of
fiscal 2002 we redeemed our senior discount notes following the consummation of
the IPO. During the first 39&nbsp;weeks ended September&nbsp;29, 2002, we also
repurchased $0.5&nbsp;million face value of our 10.875% senior notes. In the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 we redeemed $20.0&nbsp;million face value of our 10.875%
senior notes. We had cash of $6.0&nbsp;million and $6.6&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;28,
2003 and September&nbsp;29, 2002, respectively.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe we will be able to fund our future cash requirements for
operations from operating cash flows, cash on hand and borrowings under our

continue our operations and planned capital

November&nbsp;13, 2007. We expect to repay our senior notes by the maturity date
using a combination of drawings under our credit facility, an expansion or
replacement of the credit facility, and the issuance of debt or equity
securities. The senior notes are general unsecured obligations, which rank
senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for our retail
store facilities, distribution center and corporate offices. These leases
frequently include options which permit us to extend the terms beyond the
initial fixed lease term. We intend to renegotiate those leases as they
expire. Payments for these lease commitments are provided for by cash flows
generated from operations.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We had a five-year, non-amortizing $125.0&nbsp;million revolving credit
facility, which was amended and restated to a three-year non-amortizing $140.0
million revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2003. The credit
facility may be terminated by the lenders by giving at least 90&nbsp;days prior
written notice before any anniversary date, commencing with its anniversary
date on March&nbsp;20, 2006. We may terminate the credit facility by giving at least
30&nbsp;days prior written notice, provided that if we terminate prior to March&nbsp;20,
2006, we must pay an early termination fee. Unless it is terminated, the credit
facility will continue on an annual basis from anniversary date to anniversary
date beginning on March&nbsp;21, 2006. The facility is secured by a first priority
security interest in substantially all of our assets.

loans under the credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (1.12% at
September&nbsp;28, 2003) plus 1.50% or the JPMorgan Chase Bank prime lending rate
(4.00% at September&nbsp;28, 2003). An annual fee of 0.325%, payable monthly, is
assessed on the unused portion of the credit facility. On September&nbsp;28, 2003,
we had $33.4&nbsp;million in LIBOR and prime lending rate borrowings and letters of
credit of $5.8&nbsp;million outstanding. Our maximum eligible borrowing available
under the credit facility is limited to 70% of the aggregate value of eligible
inventory during November through February and 65% of the aggregate value of
eligible inventory during the remaining months of the year. Available
borrowings over and above actual LIBOR and prime rate borrowings and letters of
credit outstanding on the credit facility amounted to $67.3&nbsp;million at
September&nbsp;28, 2003.

recently announced that we will redeem $35&nbsp;million principal
amount of our 10.875% senior notes due 2007, using borrowings
available under our credit facility. Following the redemption, which
is scheduled to be completed in early December&nbsp;2003, the
outstanding balance of our 10.875% senior notes will be reduced to
$48.1&nbsp;million from an original face amount of $131&nbsp;million
when the notes were first issued in November&nbsp;1997.</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes contain various
financial and other covenants, including covenants that require us to maintain
various financial ratios, restrict our ability to incur indebtedness or to
create various liens and restrict the amount of capital expenditures that we
may incur. Our credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes
also restrict our ability to engage in mergers or acquisitions, sell assets or
pay dividends. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under our
credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we fail to make any required payment under our credit facility or the
indenture governing our senior notes or if we otherwise default under these
instruments, our debt may be accelerated under these instruments. This
acceleration could also result in the acceleration of other indebtedness that
we may have outstanding at that time.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet
our obligations and commitments, we will be required to refinance or
restructure our indebtedness or raise additional debt or equity capital.
Additionally, we may be required to sell material assets or operations or delay
or forego expansion opportunities. We might not be able to effect these
alternative strategies on satisfactory terms, if at all.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating
results. In fiscal 2002, we generated 26.5% of our net sales and 35.2% of our
operating income in the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday
selling season as well as the peak winter sports selling season. As a result,
we incur significant additional expenses in the fourth fiscal quarter due to
higher purchase volumes and increased staffing. If we miscalculate the demand
for our products generally or for our product mix during the fourth fiscal
quarter, our net sales could decline, resulting in excess inventory, which
could harm our financial performance. Because a substantial portion of our
operating income is derived from our fourth fiscal quarter net sales, a
shortfall in expected fourth fiscal quarter net sales could cause our annual

statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our
actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results.
These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risk factors set
forth elsewhere in this report and other risks and uncertainties more fully
described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We

attention from ongoing operations. We face additional challenges in entering
new markets, including consumers&#146; lack of awareness of us, difficulties in
hiring personnel and problems due to our unfamiliarity with local real estate

conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns than our
existing markets. To the extent that we are not able to meet these new

associates and other employees. Competition for qualified employees could
require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of employees, and
increases in the federal minimum wage or other employee benefits costs could

and that consumers desire to purchase. In addition, a significant portion of
the products that we purchase, including those purchased from domestic
suppliers, are manufactured abroad. A vendor could discontinue selling
products to us at any time for reasons that may or may not be in our control.
Our net sales and profitability could decline if we are unable to promptly
replace a vendor who is unwilling or unable to satisfy our requirements with a
vendor providing equally appealing products.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Because all of our stores rely on a single distribution center, any disruption

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We currently rely on a single distribution center in Fontana, California.
Any natural disaster or other serious disruption to this distribution center
due to fire, earthquake or any other cause could damage a significant portion
of our inventory and could materially impair both our ability to adequately
stock our stores and our net sales and profitability. If the security measures
used at our distribution center do not prevent inventory theft, our gross
margin may significantly decrease. In August 2002, we entered into a two-year
lease for an additional 136,000 square foot satellite distribution center to
handle seasonal merchandise and returns. In addition, because of limited
capacity at the current distribution center, we will need to build a
replacement distribution center in the next 15 to 18&nbsp;months. Any disruption
to, or delay in, this process could harm our future operations.

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Green Equity Investors, L.P., an affiliate of Leonard Green &#038; Partners,
L.P., holds approximately 27% of our outstanding common stock and also holds
approximately 12.8% of the outstanding common stock of The Sports Authority,

Green &#038; Partners, L.P., currently serves on our board of directors. Jonathan
D. Sokoloff, an equity owner of Leonard Green &#038; Partners, L.P. and a former

Inc.&#146;s board of directors. Mr.&nbsp;Danhakl may have conflicts of interest with
respect to certain matters affecting us, including the pursuit of certain
business opportunities presented to Leonard Green &#038; Partners, L.P. All
potential conflicts may not be resolved in a manner that is favorable to us.
We believe it is impossible to predict the precise circumstances under which
future potential conflicts may arise and therefore intend to address potential
conflicts on a case-by-case basis. Under Delaware law, directors have a
fiduciary duty to act in good faith and in what they believe to be in the best
interest of the corporation and its stockholders. Such duties include the duty
to refrain from impermissible self-dealing and to deal fairly with respect to
transactions in which the directors, or other companies with which such
directors are affiliated, have an interest.

new rules on a variety of subjects. In addition to final rules and rule
proposals already made by the SEC, Nasdaq has proposed revisions to its
requirements for companies that are quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.&#146;s
National Market. We expect these new rules and regulations may increase our
legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more
difficult, time consuming and/or costly. We also expect these new rules and
regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain
director and officer liability insurance, depending in part on
overall conditions in that insurance market, and we may be required to accept
reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These
new rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Risks Related to Our Industry</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>A downturn in the economy may affect consumer purchases of discretionary items,
which could reduce our net sales.</B>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, our sales represent discretionary spending by our customers.
Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including, among others,
general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels,
the availability of consumer credit, taxation, electricity power rates,
unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and
spending. Our customers&#146; purchases of discretionary items, including our
products, could decline during periods when disposable income is lower or
periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. If this
occurs, our net sales and profitability could decline.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Seasonal fluctuations in the sales of sporting goods could cause our annual
operating results to suffer significantly.</B>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating
results. In fiscal 2002, we generated 26.5% of our net sales and 35.2% of our
operating income in the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday
selling season as well as the peak winter sports selling season. As a result,
we incur significant additional expenses in the fourth fiscal quarter due to
higher purchase volumes and increased staffing. If we miscalculate the demand
for our products generally or for our product mix during the fourth fiscal
quarter, our net sales could decline, resulting in excess inventory, which
could harm our financial performance. Because a substantial portion of our
operating income is derived from our fourth fiscal quarter net sales, a
shortfall in expected fourth fiscal quarter net sales could cause our annual
operating results to suffer significantly.

In addition, if our competitors reduce their prices, it may be difficult for

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We sell products manufactured by third parties, some of which may be
defective. If any product that we sell were to cause physical injury or injury
to property, the injured party or parties could bring claims against us as the
retailer of the product. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover
every claim that could be asserted against us. If a successful claim were
brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, it could harm our
business. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds
and management time and could have a negative impact on our business. In
addition, our products are subject to the Federal Consumer Product Safety Act,
which empowers the Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect consumers from
hazardous sporting goods and other articles. The Consumer Product Safety
Commission has the authority to exclude from the market certain consumer
products that are found to be hazardous. Similar laws exist in some states and
cities in the United States. If we fail to comply with government and industry
safety standards, we may be subject to claims, lawsuits, fines and negative
publicity that could harm our operating results.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, we sell firearms and ammunition, products associated with an
increased risk of injury and related lawsuits. Sales of firearms and
ammunition have historically represented less than 5% of our annual net sales.
We may incur losses due to lawsuits relating to our performance of background
checks on firearms purchases as mandated by state and federal law or the
improper use of firearms sold by us, including lawsuits by municipalities or
other organizations attempting to recover costs from firearms manufacturers and
retailers relating to the misuse of firearms. In addition, in the future there
may be increased federal, state or local regulation, including taxation, of the
sale of firearms in both our current markets as well as future markets in which
we may operate. Commencement of these lawsuits against us or the establishment
of new regulations could reduce our net sales and decrease our profitability.

our net sales may decline. In addition, because we often make commitments to
purchase products from our vendors up to six months in advance of the proposed
delivery, if we misjudge the market for our merchandise, we may over-stock
unpopular products and be forced to take inventory markdowns that could have a
negative impact on profitability.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Terrorism and the uncertainty of war may harm our operating results.</B>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Terrorist attacks or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to us and
our employees, facilities, information systems, vendors, and customers, which
could significantly impact our net sales, costs and expenses and financial
condition. The threat of terrorist attacks in the United States since September
11, 2001 continues to create many economic and political uncertainties. The
potential for future terrorist attacks, the national and international
responses to terrorist attacks and other acts of war or hostility may cause
greater uncertainty and cause our business to suffer in ways that we currently
cannot predict. The military action taken by the United States and its allies
in Iraq could have a short or long-term negative economic impact upon the
financial markets and our business in general.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>The price of our common stock may be volatile.</B>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of
a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the
stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
affected the market prices of many companies. These broad market fluctuations
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A significant
decline in our stock price could result in substantial losses for individual
stockholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Substantial amounts of our common stock could be sold in the near future, which
could depress our stock price.</B>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We cannot predict the effect, if any, that the availability of shares of
common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock
prevailing from time to time. At September&nbsp;28, 2003, there were 22,663,927
shares of our common stock outstanding. All of these shares are freely
transferable without restriction or further registration under the federal
securities laws, except for any shares held by our affiliates, sales of which
will be limited by Rule&nbsp;144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Sales of a
significant number of these shares of common stock in the public market could
reduce the market price of the common stock or reduce our ability to raise
capital by offering equity securities.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Green Equity Investors, L.P. owns 6,171,074 shares of our common stock and

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">exercise by Green Equity Investors, L.P. of this right, we filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October
8, 2003 to register for resale all of the shares of our common stock owned by
it. The registration statement was declared effective on October&nbsp;16, 2003. In
addition, holders of approximately 9.1&nbsp;million shares of our common stock,
which includes the shares held by Green Equity Investors, L.P., have piggyback
registration rights with respect to certain offerings of our common stock. The
exercise by Green Equity Investors, L.P. of its right to require us to register
its shares for resale, or the offering for resale or resale of such
shares, could cause the market price of our common stock to
decline.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Our executive officers, directors and a substantial stockholder may be able to
exert significant control over our future direction.</B>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our executive officers and directors, their affiliates and affiliates of
Leonard Green &#038; Partners, L.P., together control approximately 43.0% of our
outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act
together, may be able to control, as a practical matter, all matters requiring
our stockholders&#146; approval, including the election of directors and approval of
significant corporate transactions. In addition, we are a party to an amended
and restated stockholders agreement with Green Equity Investors, L.P., Steven
G. Miller and Robert W. Miller that entitles Green Equity Investors, L.P. to
nominate one director to our board of directors for as long as it and its
affiliates hold at least 5% of our outstanding shares. The agreement also
provides that Steven G. Miller and Robert W. Miller will vote their shares in
favor of Green Equity Investors, L.P.&#146;s nominee and that Green Equity
Investors, L.P. will vote its shares to elect Steven G. Miller and Robert W.
Miller to our board of directors. If Green Equity Investors, L.P. sells all of
the shares of our common stock that we have registered for resale with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the amended and restated stockholders
agreement will terminate, and our executive officers and directors, their
affiliates and affiliates of Leonard Green &#038; Partners, L.P. together will
control approximately 15.2% of our outstanding common stock, and thus will not
have the ability to exert as much control over us as they do now. We are also
a party to employment agreements with Steven G. Miller and Robert W. Miller
that require us to use our best efforts to ensure that each of them continues
to be a member of our board of directors. As a result, this concentration of
ownership and representation on our board of directors may delay, prevent or
deter a change in control, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to
receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of the company or
its assets and might reduce the market price of our common stock.
