  For all years prior to 1999 our fiscal year ended on December 31. Effective
for 1999, we changed our fiscal year from the last day of December to the
Saturday nearest the last day of December. Accordingly, fiscal 1999 ended on
January 1, 2000. References to fiscal 1997, fiscal 1998, fiscal 1999 and
fiscal 2000 refer to the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, the year
ended January 1, 2000 and the year ending December 30, 2000.

  Although we refer to the traditional sporting goods retailers, general
merchandisers, Internet companies and media companies for which we develop and
operate e-commerce sporting goods businesses as our "partners," we do not act
as an agent or legal representative for any of our partners. We do not have
the power or authority to legally bind any of our partners. Similarly, our
partners do not have the power or authority to legally bind us. In addition,
we do not have the types of liabilities for our partners that a general
partner of a partnership would have. Our current partners include
BlueLight.com, Dunham's Sports, Healtheon/WebMD, MC Sports, Oshman's Sporting
Goods, Sport Chalet, The Athlete's Foot and The Sports Authority.

                                    PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

Overview

  We develop and operate e-commerce sporting goods businesses for traditional
sporting goods retailers, general merchandisers, Internet companies and media
companies under exclusive long-term agreements. We enable our partners to
capitalize on their existing assets to exploit online opportunities in the
sporting goods retailing industry, which is estimated by the National Sporting
Goods Association to be $45.8 billion in size. Our scalable business model
takes advantage of our proprietary technology and product database, customer
service capabilities, fulfillment capabilities, relationships with vendors and
centralized inventory management. Based on these capabilities, we can quickly
and cost-effectively implement a customized e-commerce sporting goods
businesses for a broad range of partners.

  We enable our partners to remain focused on their core businesses and to
avoid making substantial investments in e-commerce infrastructure and
personnel. Depending on the specific needs of the partner, we can undertake
either a complete outsourcing of its online activities or a more customized
"back-end" operation. We benefit from the traffic generated by our partners'
established brand franchises, extensive advertising, retail traffic and vendor
relationships to achieve operational efficiencies, lower customer acquisition
costs and economies of scale. We offer our partners the following:

  .  design, development and maintenance of customized Web sites under our
     partners' banners;

  .  access to our centralized database of product descriptions and images,
     as well as performance data from vendors and independent sources;

  .  extensive technology that runs, operates and manages all aspects of
     multiple Web sites;

  .  access to a broad assortment of brand-name inventory from over 500
     brands encompassing more than 60,000 stock keeping units, referred to as
     SKUs;

  .  customer service, order processing and fulfillment capabilities; and

  .  marketing our partners' Web sites through arrangements with Internet
     portals such as Yahoo!, as well as incremental online and offline
     advertising.

  We provide some or all of these services to each of our partners. We
currently derive virtually all of our revenues from the sale of merchandise
through or to our partners' e-Commerce sporting goods businesses. It is
possible,however, that in the future we may derive revenues from providing
these services to our partners.

  We believe our ability to quickly and cost-effectively add new partners
creates advantages for us over other online competitors. These advantages
include lower product costs, broader merchandise availability and greater
operating efficiencies. In addition, we believe our approach can generate
attractive economic returns by operating multiple Web sites for established
brands on a common scalable e-commerce infrastructure.

  We launched our initial six partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses
in November 1999 located at the URLs www.dunhamssports.com, www.mcsports.com,
www.sportchalet.com, www.theathletesfoot.com, www.thesportsauthority.com and
store.webmd.com. During the first two months after we launched our initial six
partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses, we had net revenues of
approximately $5.5 million. We had a net loss of $43.2 million for fiscal
1999, including the loss from discontinued operations. On December 30, 1999,
we entered into an agreement with Oshman's Sporting Goods, and we expect to
launch its e-commerce sporting goods business in the second quarter of 2000.
According to estimates by Sports Trend, a trade publication, our current
partners and their affiliates generated over $5.0 billion in combined annual
sporting goods revenues through their traditional retail channels in 1998. The
combined sales of our partners in 1998 represented 10.9% of the estimated
United States retail sporting goods market.

Historical Businesses

  Until the second quarter of fiscal 1999, we operated two sporting goods
businesses, our Branded Division and our Off-Price and Action Sports Division.
On April 20, 1999, we formalized a plan to sell these divisions in

                                       3
<PAGE>

order to focus exclusively on our e-commerce business. For a more complete
description of the Branded Division and Off-Price and Action Sports Division,
see "--Discontinued Operations."

Recent Developments

  On February 28, 2000, we entered into an agreement with BlueLight.com, the
exclusive online partner of Kmart. We expect to launch the e-commerce sporting
goods business of BlueLight.com in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

  On April 27, 2000, we agreed to sell to funds affiliated with SOFTBANK
America Inc., referred to as SOFTBANK, 2,500,000 shares of common stock and to
TMCT Ventures, L.P., referred to as TMCT, 625,000 shares of common stock at a
price of $8.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million. In
addition, we issued to the funds affiliated with SOFTBANK warrants to purchase
1,250,000 shares of common stock, and to TMCT warrants to purchase 312,500
shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The sale of
these shares and warrants was completed on May 1, 2000.

Industry Background

  Sporting Goods Retail Industry. The retail market for sporting goods
products, which includes apparel, footwear, equipment and related products
such as table games and sports memorabilia, represents a significant market
opportunity. The National Sporting Goods Association estimated this market at
$45.8 billion at retail in 1999, representing a compound annual growth rate of
3.5% since 1994. The number of people who actively engaged in sports, fitness
and outdoor activities in 1998 was 167 million according to Sporting Goods
Manufacturers Association estimates. We believe the sporting goods industry
will continue to benefit from growing participation and interest in sports,
fitness and outdoor activities and, as a result, we expect consumer demand to
increase over time. In addition, the ten largest sporting goods retailers in
the United States accounted for 36% of all sporting goods sales in 1998, and
no single retailer represented more than 10% of the market, according to
Sports Trend estimates. As a result, we believe significant opportunities
exist to better fulfill customer and manufacturer needs by centralizing
inventory and creating a comprehensive product database from among the
thousands of vendors and millions of SKUs in the sporting goods industry.

  We believe that e-commerce will contribute to additional growth in the
sporting goods industry. E-commerce revenues are expected to represent
approximately 8% of sporting goods sales by 2004, according to Forrester
Research estimates. Forrester Research also estimates that online sales of
sporting goods reached $165.0 million in 1999 and are projected to exceed $4.2
billion by 2004, a compound annual growth rate of 91%. In addition, we believe
that total catalog sales of sporting goods products are sizeable, supporting
the notion that customers are willing to purchase sporting goods through
direct sales.

  Advantages of Online Retailing. The Internet has emerged as one of the
fastest growing communications, information and commerce mediums.
International Data Corporation estimates that there were approximately 62.8
million Internet users in the United States at the end of 1998 and expects
this number to grow to approximately 177.0 million by the end of 2003.
Business' and consumers' acceptance of the Internet as a communication,
information and commerce platform has created the foundation for significant
growth in business-to-consumer and business-to-business commerce. The number
of online purchasers is projected to increase from approximately 21.1 million
at the end of 1998 to approximately 72.1 million by 2003, according to
International Data Corporation. Forrester Research estimates that online
purchases by United States consumers will grow from approximately $20.3
billion in 1999 to approximately $184.5 billion in 2004.

  The Internet is an attractive marketplace for both online retailers and
consumers. Online retailers are able to "display" a larger number and wider
variety of products at a lower cost than physical stores and catalogs, which
have limitations on inventory, shelf and catalog space. In addition, online
retailers do not incur the costs of managing and maintaining a retail store
base or the significant printing and mailing costs of catalogs. Online
retailers also enjoy significant merchandising flexibility with the ability to
easily and frequently adjust their featured selections and editorial content
to better respond to consumers' needs. Finally, online retailers can more
easily obtain demographic and behavioral data about customers. This increases
opportunities for targeted marketing programs and to provide personalized
services to their customers.

                                       4
<PAGE>

  The Internet also offers a number of advantages to consumers. Consumers can
enjoy the time savings, convenience and flexibility of shopping online 24
hours a day, seven days a week with access to a broader selection of products
than is traditionally available in a retail store. In addition, online
retailing allows for personalized shopping experiences through the delivery of
content, purchasing advice, community and electronic features such as reminder
and suggestion services. Consumers also benefit from greater access to product
information and heightened attention to customer service.

  Challenges of Online Retailing. We believe traditional sporting goods
retailers face significant obstacles to compete successfully in e-commerce.
Traditional retailers must develop a separate infrastructure for their
Internet operations, including Web design, order processing, fulfillment,
customer service and a descriptive product database. Traditional retailers
must also make significant capital investments to develop in-house technology
systems as well as to attract and retain personnel to support an online
business. Given the smaller size of the leading sporting goods retailers
relative to leading retailers in other consumer goods categories, it is
particularly difficult for sporting goods retailers to generate levels of e-
commerce sales that justify building a separate infrastructure. Furthermore,
we believe very few viable outsourcing options exist for sporting goods
retailers to build their online business.

  Online sporting goods retailers confront obstacles to establish cost-
efficient operations in the sporting goods business. Due to the lack of master
distributors and the multitude of independent vendors in the sporting goods
industry, online retailers face the challenge of establishing and maintaining
relationships with hundreds of vendors. This makes it difficult for them to
access a broad selection of branded sporting goods products. In addition, we
believe that it is costly for single-brand online retailers to own inventory
and build sophisticated fulfillment infrastructure while simultaneously
spending to build their brand and drive traffic. Because most online retailers
rely on a single brand, they find it more difficult to establish multiple
partnerships with traditional retailers. Online retailers tend to make large
investments to build and maintain their brand awareness, resulting in high
customer acquisition costs. In addition, online retailers have a disadvantage
to traditional retailers in that they do not offer in-store returns and
exchanges and can not satisfy customers' desire to touch and feel products,
such as athletic footwear and sporting apparel. Also, it is difficult for
online retailers to support the cost of aggregating and maintaining
comprehensive inventory in each category. This difficulty arises because
sporting goods products come in an extensive array of shapes, sizes and
weights, ranging from small fishing lures to bulky motorized treadmills.

The Global Sports Solution

  We believe our business model allows us to provide a comprehensive solution
to many of the challenges facing traditional and online sporting goods
retailers. Our platform allows us to rapidly develop and operate customized e-
commerce sporting goods businesses with characteristics appropriate for each
of our partners. Our solution enables our partners to remain focused on their
core businesses and to avoid making substantial investments in e-commerce
infrastructure and personnel. In addition, we believe we can generate
attractive economic returns by operating multiple Web sites on a common
scalable e-commerce infrastructure. We derive further economic benefit by
operating under the established brands of our partners. The following are key
features of our solution:

  Rapid Deployment of a Comprehensive E-Commerce Business. We can quickly
develop and implement all aspects of an e-commerce sporting goods business.
These aspects include Web site design, buying and merchandising, order
processing, fulfillment and customer service. We customize the design of a
partner's Web site with a broad range of characteristics that include a
differentiated user interface, partner-specific content pages, an extensive
electronic catalog of product descriptions and images, a searchable database
and interactive communication tools. Our solution allows the partner to avoid
the lengthy start-up, the complex integration effort and the substantial fixed
cost required to build and operate an e-commerce business.

  Creation of Distinct Online Identities Under Existing Brand Names. We enable
our partners to establish distinct e-commerce businesses. We believe this
contributes to the development of their independent online

                                       5
<PAGE>

brand, reinforces their existing brand identity and reduces cannibalization
from other online competitors. In addition, we seek to increase the value of
their entire business by establishing an online image and a shopping
experience that is commensurate with their brand.

  Increased Return on Investment Opportunity. We operate multiple e-commerce
sporting goods businesses on a common infrastructure. This allows us to
capitalize on our core computer technology, which we refer to as The Common
Engine(TM), and centralized inventory, product database, order processing,
fulfillment and customer service. Because we focus exclusively on sporting
goods e-commerce, we can derive economies of scale and add additional partners
with minimal incremental spending. In addition, we aggregate demand from all
of our partners' Web sites and fulfill all customer orders from a common
inventory pool. Although we customize part of the product assortment on each
partner's Web site we operate, a large quantity of SKUs is common among
multiple Web sites. By centralizing inventory management across multiple
partner Web sites, we are able to increase the frequency of inventory turns,
thus reducing obsolescence risk and financing costs.

  Positive and Convenient Shopping Experience. We offer a compelling online
shopping experience by providing a broad selection of merchandise, easy to use
Web sites, competitive prices, value added content and strong customer
service. We believe our 24 hours a day, seven days a week in-house customer
service and high order accuracy promotes strong brand loyalty for our
partners. In addition, we believe our ability to respond to customer inquiries
by e-mail, telephone and online chat to provide detailed product information
makes the shopping experience easy and enjoyable and drives repeat purchases.
The customer's online shopping experience is further enhanced by the option to
return goods purchased online to most of our partners' respective retail
stores.

  Efficient Customer Acquisition. We benefit from the brand assets and
substantial marketing budgets of our partners to reduce our customer
acquisition costs. Our partners' existing marketing budgets allow us to
generate exposure and drive traffic to the Web sites without expensive
incremental investment in customer acquisition. For example, each partner is
contractually obligated to include its Web site address, referred to as a URL,
in its marketing and communication materials. In addition, during fiscal 1999,
our current traditional sporting goods retail partners, Dunham's Sports, MC
Sports, Oshman's Sporting Goods, Sport Chalet, The Athletes Foot and The
Sports Authority, spent on a combined basis in excess of $100.0 million on
marketing. This included television, radio, print and outdoor advertising,
point of purchase displays, cash register receipts, shopping bags, employee
uniforms and promotional events designed to attract and retain customers.
Finally, our retail partners have valuable, established brand franchises and
existing customer bases. We believe this provides us with a competitive
advantage because our retail partners have a heritage and reputation that
lends a degree of comfort to the customer. By having an established history of
purchasing from our partners' retail stores, we believe a customer will be
more inclined to purchase from their online stores.

  Benefit from Relationships with Vendors. Our partners maintain long-standing
relationships with sporting goods vendors. We also maintain strong
relationships with these vendors. Therefore, unlike many entrants to the
online sporting goods marketplace, we are able to obtain direct access to most
major brands. We believe this provides us with one of the most extensive,
authorized selections of sporting goods brands and products available on the
Internet today. In addition, we benefit from the buying experience of our
partners, which further reduces our costs and improves our margins.

Growth Strategy

  Our objective is to generate attractive economic returns by capitalizing on
our unique business model to become the leading e-commerce company in the
sporting goods category. The key elements of our growth strategy are as
follows:

  Expand Our Partner Base. We intend to increase our market share by adding
new partners with strong brand franchises who are seeking to enter the e-
commerce sporting goods business. New partners could include companies with
major brand names in specialty and full-line retail, consumer products,
Internet and media. For

                                       6
<PAGE>

example, in January 2000 we announced a new alliance with Oshman's Sporting
Goods and in March 2000, we announced a new alliance with BlueLight.com. We
expect to launch these e-commerce sporting goods businesses during the second
quarter of fiscal 2000.

  Promote Our Online Brands. We intend to build awareness and drive traffic to
our partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses by capitalizing on the
brand assets, large marketing budgets and retail traffic of our partners. Each
of our partners prominently features and promotes its URL in its marketing and
communications materials. We have initiated programs with our traditional
retail partners to provide incentives, such as coupons, to in-store customers
to shop online. We also plan to continue to selectively use a variety of
online and offline marketing strategies to reach our customers, including
direct marketing, co-branding, co-op advertising, public relations, affiliate
programs, portal relationships, traditional print and broadcast media
advertising. In addition, we intend to test in-store computer kiosks with
direct links to some of our traditional retail partners' online sporting goods
businesses to provide customers with access to inventory not available in the
retail stores.

  Increase Repeat Purchases. We intend to build customer loyalty and drive
repeat purchases by implementing the following strategies:

  .  continually enhancing our level of customer service;

  .  expanding our customer and product databases;

  .  offering new products and product categories;

  .  implementing direct marketing techniques to target customers; and

  .  increasing the level of personalization on our partners' online sporting
     goods businesses.

We believe these initiatives will drive repeat purchases as consumers become
increasingly satisfied with their online shopping experiences.

  Enhance the Online Shopping Experience. We plan to continually enhance and
expand our online stores to address the evolving needs of our customers. We
plan to invest in technology to maximize the flexibility and speed to market
of our partners' Web sites. We intend to improve the presentation of our
product offerings by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the
Internet as a retail medium. Specifically, we plan to develop features that
improve the functionality, speed, navigation and ease of use of our partners'
Web sites. Another key factor in enhancing the online shopping experience will
be to continue building and expanding upon our fulfillment and order
processing capabilities.

  Capitalize on International Market Opportunities. We plan to explore
offering our e-commerce solution in international markets to address the
global demand to purchase sporting goods products online. We believe our
business model is well suited for penetration of these markets by partnering
with well-established local companies.

  Pursue Growth by Acquisitions. From time to time we assess strategic
investments and acquisitions that are aligned with our goal of increasing our
partner and customer base and expanding our product offerings.

Global Sports' Operations

Web Site and Content Design, Implementation, and Maintenance

  We design most of our partners' Web sites. We have dedicated in-house
personnel that are responsible for Web site design, management, maintenance,
creative and content modifications. We implement all changes to current Web
sites and oversee the creation of new front-end Web sites for most new
partners, ensuring that the look and feel of their Web sites meet all parties'
satisfaction. We also generate content for each of our partners' Web sites,
including product images, product descriptions, buying guides, sport-specific
information, as well as related sports and informational content. For example,
we have produced buying guides which will help customers with their
merchandise selection and to provide information about selected sports. These
guides provide customers with helpful information in selecting various pieces
of sports equipment and provide tips on sports play. In addition, we have an
in-house photography studio and generate approximately 70% of our photographic
images. We receive the remainder of our photographic images from our vendors.

  Technology. The three major elements of our partners' Web sites' technology
are The Common Engine(TM), the front-end and the data center.

                                       7
<PAGE>

  The Common Engine(TM). We have created a core computer technology system,
The Common Engine(TM), that operates and manages all of the applications and
functionality across all of our partners' Web sites. This system allows us to
add new front-end Web sites with minimal incremental costs. The Common
Engine(TM) is a template that is used to create and personalize each Web site
to fit the brand equity and identity of the individual partners. We update The
Common Engine(TM) continually to improve our partners' Web sites and enrich
the overall customer experience.

  The Front-End. The front-end represents the overall look and feel of our
partners' Web sites. The front-end is the interface with the customer and
includes content development, logo placement, graphic design, color palette,
navigation and links. We use the front-end to communicate special promotions,
content feature and product collections as well as the unique merchandising
strategy of each of our partners.

  The Data Center. The data center is our database management system that
controls all of the information housed within our partners' Web sites,
including all product images and descriptions, customer log-in data, customer
profiles, verification requirements, brand information and tax and shipping
data. Our database management system was created utilizing Oracle technologies
and runs on Sun Microsystems hardware. A third-party provider hosts our data
center. System security is managed both by internal staff as well as by
security staff at our third-party host.

  Additional Technology Information. Our technology infrastructure is
supported by a fully-integrated back-up system. We believe this ensures our
operations can move forward seamlessly in the event of computer malfunctions.
In addition, we continuously strive to improve our partners' Web sites by
conducting functional testing.

 Buying, Vendor Relationships and Merchandising

  Buying. We offer a broad assortment of brands and items on each of our
partners' Web sites. We currently offer customers over 500 brands and more
than 60,000 SKUs across our partners' Web sites and continue to add additional
brands and SKUs. We have dedicated buyers for the following merchandise
categories: footwear, licensed/team products, men's branded apparel, women's
and children's branded apparel, accessories, exercise, indoor recreation,
outdoor recreation, golf, racquet sports and team sports.

  We capitalize on our partners' merchandising experience to offer a wide
brand and product assortment for our customers. When deciding which brands and
merchandise to carry, we first review what our partners are offering in their
retail stores and determine what items we believe will be successful on our
partners' Web sites. We believe that we will be able to offer a wider variety
of merchandise on our partners' Web sites than might be found in one of their
retail stores because we are not hindered by space availability, although not
all of our partners' Web sites carry the same product and brand assortment. In
this connection, we currently do not offer some popular brands of sporting
goods, such as Nike, and our partners typically have the right to require us
not to sell products which are not sold in their land-based stores. After
consulting a partner on their buying strategy, we then work to enhance product
selection. We expand product lines, provide brand extensions and look to add
significant value to the product selection currently offered in our partners'
stores. These types of extensions might include a broader diversity of sizes
and styles and a larger range of price points.

  Vendor Relationships. We believe we have solid relationships with our
vendors, and while we currently do not offer some popular brands of sporting
goods, such as Nike, we are working to continuously add new vendors and
brands. Our buyers work with merchandisers to streamline the strategies for
product offerings, merchandise locations within the Web sites and promotional
activities of our partners. During fiscal 1999, we purchased $2.2 million of
inventory from Icon Health & Fitness, Inc. and $1.8 million of inventory from
ASICS Tiger Corp. These purchases accounted for 15% and 12% of the total
amount of inventory we purchased during fiscal 1999.

  Merchandising. Our merchandising strategy allows us to offer a highly
customized and flexible product mix. We work with our partners to ensure that
our product offerings are consistent with any upcoming in-store promotions or
advertising specials. We make changes to the home pages and lead category
pages of our partners' Web sites frequently to reflect seasonal or promotional
trends and to keep their Web sites fresh.

                                       8
<PAGE>

 Pricing

  We establish the prices for all products offered on our partners' Web sites.
We strategically price these products to be consistent with the prices in our
partners' retail stores. Accordingly, we maintain different pricing structures
for products across each of our partners' Web sites. We use our proprietary
technology to implement these pricing structures and to make daily updates to
our prices, including markdowns and sales.

 Marketing

  Web Site Integration. We work with each of our partners to make certain that
URL and Web site integration are a mainstay of their marketing and advertising
campaigns. Our retail sporting goods partners spend more than $100.0 million
per year to build and promote their brands, and BlueLight.com's exclusive
retail partner, Kmart, dedicates a meaningful portion of space within its 72
million weekly advertising circulars to promote its sporting goods business.
Each of our partners is contractually obligated to incorporate its URL into
every type of advertising, marketing, promotion and communication vehicles it
creates. These marketing vehicles not only incorporate the URL into the copy
or design, but the message also educates people about these e-commerce
sporting goods businesses and drives traffic to these Web sites. We believe
our partners embrace this strategy because they realize the value in alerting
their customers to an additional distribution channel within their brand.

  Online Marketing Relationships. In 1999, we signed a marketing agreement
with Yahoo!, a leading global Internet company, in which our partners' Web
sites are featured throughout the Yahoo! Shopping service and other areas of
the Yahoo! Network. We also formed a marketing relationship with PeoplePC, in
which our partners' Web sites will be featured to PeoplePC members throughout
PeoplePC's multiple channels of outreach. We have a marketing relationship
with Rodale, the publisher of well-known publications such as Men's Health,
Prevention, New Woman, and Runner's World, which provides users of our
partners' Web sites with access to sports and fitness content and information
from Rodale's range of sports and fitness book titles. We are dedicated to
managing, strengthening and improving our customer relationships. We have
implemented personalized customer e-mail campaigns, which inform customers
about upcoming specials, promotions, new brands, or merchandise in which they
might be interested.

  Offline Marketing Opportunities. We periodically produce advertising or
marketing materials to communicate a special event or promotion occurring on
one of our partners' Web sites. We produce these materials to augment our
partners' own advertising campaigns.

  Affiliate Network. We have agreements with many outside Web sites, referred
to as affiliates, which enable them to link to one of our partners' Web sites.
When a visitor clicks through an affiliate to one of our partners' Web sites,
and the visit generates a sale, then the affiliate is compensated with a
portion of the sale proceeds. We have implemented a sliding scale for revenue
payments to affiliates depending on the volume of sales generated from the
link.

 Order Processing and Fulfillment

  Order Processing. We use Priority Fulfillment Services, referred to as PFS,
as our third-party order processing vendor. We use JDA software for our
internal order processing technology vendor. During fiscal 2000, we plan to
assume the responsibility of all order processing, returns processing, claims
processing and crediting of customers. Order processing activities include
electronically capturing the order, processing the payment method, determining
the shipping costs, adding any applicable sales tax, facilitating any coupon
or promotional discounts and printing a pick ticket. The pick ticket includes
the name of the partner from whom the order was received, a packing slip,
return labels and detailed order list.

  Fulfillment. We currently use PFS as our third-party fulfillment vendor.
During fiscal 2000, we plan to assume responsibility for the fulfillment for
all large and oversized items, referred to as Less than Truckload or LTL, sold
on our partners' Web sites. These large items will be fulfilled by us within a
90,000 square foot facility to be leased in Memphis, Tennessee. PFS will
continue to manage the fulfillment of non-LTL items.

                                       9
<PAGE>

  We have our own dedicated warehouse and fulfillment space within PFS'
facilities. The portion of PFS' facility that we use is completely separated
and segregated from all other PFS customers and/or operations. We use
approximately 200,000 square feet of PFS' facilities in Memphis, Tennessee for
fulfillment of non-LTL items for the forseeable future.

  After a pick ticket is generated, it either will be forwarded to PFS for
fulfillment, in the case of non-LTL items, or will be forwarded to our
fulfillment center in Memphis, in the case of LTL items. Fulfillment will be
handled in the same way, whether it is managed by us or by PFS. After the pick
ticket is reviewed, the ordered items are gathered, the accuracy of items are
verified and the items, appropriate receipts and return labels are packed,
sealed and shipped. After an item has been ordered by a customer, PFS
electronically notifies us when the order has been received, packed and
shipped. Our computer system then automatically sends an e-mail to that
customer informing them that their merchandise is on its way

  We also provide value-added fulfillment services, such as at-home assembly
of LTL items and racquet stringing. At-home assembly for LTL items can be
purchased for an additional charge on some of our partners' Web sites. These
Web sites automatically offer the customer the opportunity to purchase at-home
assembly at the time of sale. If a customer purchases at-home assembly of an
item, information about coordinating their at-home assembly is included in the
package during the fulfillment phase. The customer can then call Huffy
Corporation, our assembly provider, to coordinate and schedule the at-home
assembly of their product.

  Distribution. We currently use UPS as our shipping carrier for non-LTL items
and use Associated Global for our LTL distribution. We ship virtually all of
the orders received on our partners' Web sites within one business day.

  Returns. We accept returns through our partners' respective stores and
through mailing or delivery services. All of our retail partners, except
Dunham's Sports, accept in-store returns of items purchased on their Web site.
If a customer returns an item to a retail store, the store will offer the
customer a credit or exchange. If it is an item that the particular store
location carries, then the store will reshelve the item. If the specific
retail location does not carry that item, the store will return the item to us
to reshelve. If a customer returns an item directly to us, we provide the
customer with either a credit or exchange from our partners' Web site and then
reshelve the item.

  In the case of BlueLight.com, where we only manage their sporting goods
product database and facilitate merchandise procurement and fulfillment,
BlueLight.com will process the orders, generate the pick tickets and forward
them to us for fulfillment. We will then either fulfill the order or forward
it to PFS as appropriate. BlueLight.com has agreed to use commercially
reasonable efforts to have Kmart accept in-store returns for merchandise
purchased on BlueLight.com. Any returns made to a Kmart store will be
forwarded to BlueLight.com's return processing center, from which
BlueLight.com will coordinate regular shipments of products back to us to be
reshelved.

 Customer Service

  General. We are committed to providing the highest level of customer
service. We believe that superior customer service is critical to retaining
long-term and repeat customers. We offer 24 hours a day, seven days a week
live customer service for all of our partners, except BlueLight.com, who will
manage their own customer service functions. However, we will be assisting
BlueLight.com's representatives with problem-solving and product-oriented
issues. We currently have significant excess capacity in our call center. We
expect to increase our customer service staff as we increase both the number
of our partners and our overall volume. We programmed our computer systems to
automatically identify from which partner the customer needs information or
service. Our customer service facility is located within our headquarters.

  Category Experts and Service Experts. In our effort to provide customers
with the most thorough and accurate information possible, we have both
category experts and service experts on staff within the customer

                                      10
<PAGE>

service department. Category experts have a particular interest in and
detailed knowledge of particular sports or products. These professionals are
able to answer detailed questions about various sports and products to help
customers select the best equipment or merchandise for them. Service experts
are trained and experienced in working with a variety of complex customer
service issues.

  E-Mail, Telephone or Online Chat. Customers can obtain assistance through e-
mail, telephone or online chat. Our online chat capabilities are called
LiveRep. We utilize eGain's application process for our LiveRep solution.
During LiveRep sessions, customer service representatives can answer simple
merchandise questions or help a person navigate the site page-by-page in more
complex situations. We aim to answer all customer e-mails within 24 hours, and
are often able to respond within a shorter period of time.

Company Overview

 Description of Agreements with our Partners

  According to Sports Trend, the combined retail sporting goods sales of our
partners and their affiliates was $5.1 billion in 1998, accounting for 11.1%
of the estimated United States retail sporting goods market. In 1999, our
partners and their affiliates had in the aggregate approximately 3,300 stores
covering all 50 states. We estimate that Dunham's Sports, MC Sports, Oshman's
Sporting Goods, Sport Chalet, The Athlete's Foot and The Sports Authority
invested in excess of $100.0 million in marketing their retail stores to
consumers in 1999. In addition, a majority of the approximately 72 million
weekly newspaper circulars distributed in 1999 by BlueLight.com's retail
partner, Kmart, featured sporting goods products.

  We currently have three different structures for our agreements:

  .  Exclusive Licensing Agreements. These agreements give us the exclusive
     right to operate a partner's e-commerce sporting goods business. We
     purchase inventory from vendors, sell the inventory on our partners' Web
     sites, record all revenues generated on the Web sites and pay a
     percentage of those revenues to the partners in exchange for the e-
     commerce rights to their brand names and in-store promotions of the e-
     commerce sporting goods businesses in the partners' retail stores.

  .  Subsidiary and Exclusive License Agreement. We have formed a subsidiary,
     The SportsAuthority.com, Inc., which is 80.1% owned by us and 19.9%
     owned by The Sports Authority. The Sports Authority's ownership position
     in the subsidiary could increase to 49.9% over time, depending upon the
     achievement of financial and sales goals or the exercise of options set
     forth in the agreement. The SportsAuthority.com has the exclusive right
     to operate The Sports Authority's e-commerce sporting goods business. We
     purchase inventory from vendors, sell the inventory on The
     SportsAuthority.com's Web site, record all revenues generated on the Web
     site and pay a nominal royalty to The Sports Authority based on a
     percentage of sales generated by the subsidiary in exchange for the e-
     commerce right to the Sports Authority's brand name and in-store
     promotions of its e-commerce sporting goods business in its retail
     stores.

  .  Long-Term Distribution Agreement. We entered into an agreement with
     BlueLight.com. whereby we will provide a product information database to
     BlueLight.com that it will use to merchandise the sporting goods
     department of its flagship Web site. BlueLight.com will process orders
     for sporting goods on its Web site and deliver the orders to us
     electronically. We will then sell the products from our inventory and
     transfer title to BlueLight.com at a predetermined discount to their
     selling price and pick, pack and ship the products to consumers on
     behalf of BlueLight.com. BlueLight.com will perform all its own customer
     service.

*  The letter of intent that we entered into with Healtheon/WebMD contemplated
   a five-year agreement. Although this letter of intent has expired, the
   parties are in the process of negotiating a definitive agreement. See"--
   Description of Agreement with our Partners--Healtheon/WebMD."

  Our typical agreement gives us the long-term exclusive rights to a partner's
e-commerce sporting goods business and the commitment from the partner to
promote its Web site. In exchange, we commit to develop and operate a unique
and customized Web site for the partner and pay to the partner a percentage of
all net sales generated on the Web site.

  BlueLight.com. The sporting goods inventory on the BlueLight.com sporting
goods department will consist of items provided by us, enhanced by a range of
current Kmart product offerings. As Kmart's exclusive e-commerce partner,
BlueLight.com is uniquely positioned to capture a large portion of their
customers that shop online. BlueLight.com's retail partner, Kmart, is the
third largest retailer of sporting goods in the United States, with estimated
annual sporting goods sales in excess of $2.0 billion according to Sports
Trend. BlueLight.com will capitalize on its relationship with Kmart to drive
customers to its e-commerce shopping portal. We believe that the nationwide
retailer's powerful brand, supported by more than $36.0 billion in annual
sales, will be utilized to actively promote BlueLight.com throughout its more
than 2,100 retail stores and through its 72 million weekly advertising
circulars.

  Dunham's Sports. Dunham's Sports operates 107 full-line sporting goods
stores, located in strip shopping centers, in 11 states, with a focus on the
Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes regions of the country. Its 1998 sales were
estimated by Sports Trend to be $225.0 million. Dunham's Sports positioning
is, "The big names bring you in, the low prices bring you back."

  Healtheon/WebMD. We entered into a binding letter of intent with The Sports
Authority and Healtheon/WebMD to create and operate a sports, medicine and
fitness e-commerce sporting goods business. The letter of intent expired on
October 29, 1999, but the parties generally have been operating under the
terms of the letter of intent. We expect to enter into a definitive agreement
in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Healtheon/WebMD has committed extensive
promotional resources to drive traffic to the Web site, including taking
advantage of its strategic relationships with MSN, Lycos, Excite, Readers'
Digest and CNN. Through TheSportsAuthority.com, we record 100% of the revenue
from the transactions on the Healtheon/WebMD health and fitness e-commerce
store, and Healtheon/WebMD receives a percentage revenue share payment on all
product sales. We derived $2.8 million of our total net revenues from
Healtheon/WebMD through the sale of product to support the launch of the WebMD
Sports & Fitness Store, store.webmd.com. This product was sold to
Healtheon/WebMD in connection with a one-time promotion in which
Healtheon/WebMD distributed the products to its physician subscribers to
promote the launch of the WebMD Sports & Fitness Store. Healtheon/WebMD is the
first end-to-end Internet healthcare company connecting physicians and
consumers to the entire healthcare industry. Healtheon/WebMD was formed in
November 1999 as a result of the merger of Healtheon Corporation, WebMD, Inc.,
MEDE America and Medcast.

  MC Sports. MC Sports operates 66 full-line sporting goods stores located in
shopping malls and strip shopping centers in six states, primarily in the
Midwest and Great Lakes areas. Its 1998 sales were estimated by Sports Trend
to be $235.0 million. MC Sports is heavily involved in its local communities
and is positioned as a "hometown," caring retailer.

                                      12
<PAGE>

  Oshman's Sporting Goods. Oshman's operates 42 super stores and 16
traditional stores located in strip shopping centers and enclosed malls in 15
states, with concentration in the Southwest and Northwest United States. Its
1999 sales were $306.0 million. Oshman's utilizes an oval racetrack store
theme, featuring concept shops and demo areas where customers can try
merchandise prior to purchasing.

  Sport Chalet. Sport Chalet operates 21 big box full-line sporting goods
stores located in shopping malls and strip shopping centers in Southern
California. Its 1998 sales were $155.0 million. Sport Chalet positions itself
as a leading sporting goods retailer in Southern California providing
outstanding customer service and the best brands available.

  The Athlete's Foot. The Athlete's Foot operates 750 specialty athletic
footwear stores located in shopping malls and strip shopping centers, in 40
countries around the world. Its 1998 sales were estimated by Sports Trend to
be $700.0 million. The Athlete's Foot positions itself as the world's
definitive athletic and leisure footwear retailer.

  The Sports Authority. The Sports Authority operates 196 stores located in
strip shopping centers and urban street locations in 32 states, most of which
are big box stores. Its 1999 sales were $1.5 billion. The Sports Authority
positions itself as "The Authority" on sporting goods with a large assortment
of merchandise encompassing a wide range of both team and individual sports.

Competition

  The online market is new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Our
primary competitors are currently:

  .  online e-commerce sporting goods retailers such as Chipshot.com,
     Fogdog.com and Gear.com;

  .  general merchandise e-commerce companies such as Mercata.com, Onsale.com
     and uBid.com;

  .  full-line electronic retailers that are associated with full-line
     sporting goods stores such as Shopsports.com, associated with
     Copeland's, Dsports.com, associated with Dick's Sporting Goods, and
     MVP.com, associated with Galyans;

  .  e-commerce businesses of specialty sporting goods retailers and catalogs
     such as Footaction.com, Footlocker.com and REI.com;

  .  e-commerce businesses of traditional general merchandise retailers such
     as Target.com and Wal-Mart.com; and

  .  e-commerce businesses of sporting goods manufacturers such as adidas.com
     and Nike.com.

  In addition, we compete with companies that can provide part of our
solutions to companies that wish to establish e-commerce sporting goods
business, including:

  .  Web site developers, such as Sapient, Scient and Viant; and

  .  third-party fulfillment and customer service providers, such as
     Fingerhut, Keystone Internet Services and ClientLogic.

  Finally, we compete with traditional channels of distribution for sporting
goods, including full-line sporting goods retailers, specialty sporting goods
retailers, general merchandise retailers, catalogs and manufacturers' direct
stores.

  We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of the following:

  .  recognition of and trust in our partners' brands;

  .  the broad selection of merchandise that we offer on our partners' Web
     sites;

  .  convenience of the shopping experience;

  .  ability to return products to our partners' respective retail stores;

                                      13
<PAGE>

  .  price; and

  .  the amount of product information provided to customers.

Intellectual Property

  We utilize our partners' names, URL's, logos and other marks in connection
with the operation and promotion of our partners' Web sites. The agreements
with our partners generally provide us with limited, non-exclusive licenses to
use this intellectual property in connection with the operation of our
partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses. These licenses are co-
terminous with the agreements and range from five to 15 years.

  We also rely on technologies that we license from third parties. These
licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable
terms in the future. As a result, we may be required to obtain substitute
technology of lower quality or at greater cost, which could materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  In order to protect our proprietary rights in services and technology, we
rely on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions. These
include confidentiality, invention assignment and nondisclosure agreements
with our partners, employees, contractors and suppliers. Despite these
precautions, it may be possible for a third-party to copy or otherwise obtain
and use our intellectual property without our authorization.

Government Regulation

  We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation
other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly
applicable to retailing or e-commerce. However, as the Internet becomes
increasingly popular, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may
be adopted with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover issues such as
user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and quality of products
and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and
information security. Furthermore, the growth of e-commerce may prompt calls
for more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have proposed
legislation to limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or
require online services to establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade
Commission has also initiated action against at least one online service
regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from users and
provided to third parties and has adopted regulations restricting the
collection and use of information from minors online. We do not currently
provide individual personal information regarding our users to third parties
other than our partners and we currently do not identify registered users by
age. However, the adoption of additional privacy or consumer protection laws
could create uncertainty in Web usage and reduce the demand for our products
and services or require us to redesign our partners' Web sites.

  We are not certain how our business may be affected by the application of
existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights,
encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity,
qualification to do business and export or import matters. The vast majority
of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result,
they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and
related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address these issues could
create uncertainty in the Internet marketplace. This uncertainty could reduce
demand for our services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of
litigation costs or increased service delivery costs.

  In addition, because our services are available over the Internet in
multiple states and foreign countries, other jurisdictions may claim that we
are required to qualify to do business in each state or foreign country. Our
failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could
subject us to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce
contracts in these jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from
jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

Employees

  As of April 28, 2000, we employed 215 full-time employees in our e-commerce
business. Our employees are based primarily at our headquarters in King of
Prussia, Pennsylvania.

Discontinued Operations

  Prior to our decision to focus exclusively on our e-commerce business, we
operated two sporting goods businesses, our Branded Division and our Off-Price
and Action Sports Division. We sold our Branded Division on December 29, 1999
and recognized a loss of $12.1 million on the sale. We have an agreement to
sell our Off-Price and Action Sports Division, which we expect will be
completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. We estimate that we will
recognize a loss of approximately $5.2 million on the sale of our Off-Price
and Action Sports Division and have reflected that loss in the statement of
operations for fiscal 1999. For a more complete discussion, see Note 18 to our
consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1.

  Off-Price and Action Sports Division

  Through our Off-Price and Action Sports Division, we purchased
manufacturers' closeout merchandise, overstocks and canceled orders, as well
as excess inventories from manufacturers and retailers, for resale to
retailers principally in the United States and Canada. We resold this
merchandise to sporting goods stores, off-price specialty stores, department
stores, footwear stores and independent retailers. The merchandise that we
purchased and distributed included a wide variety of athletic, outdoor, casual
and specialty footwear, athletic apparel, ski and snowboard equipment, in-line
skates, skateboards and sunglasses. We also designed and distributed
snowboards, skateboards and related merchandise for selected retailers.

  The sales force for our Off-Price and Action Sports Division consisted of
sales executives who dealt exclusively with off-price and special make-up
merchandise and who were compensated on a commission basis. We sold our off-
price and action sports merchandise to approximately 2,300 retail accounts.
Our Off-Price and Action Sports Division competed with large retailers that
purchased off-price and action sports merchandise on a direct basis, footwear
manufacturers that disposed of excess merchandise through their own retail
outlet operations and several independent resellers of footwear, athletic
apparel and sporting goods.

  In May 1998, we acquired Gen-X Holdings Inc. and Gen-X Equipment Inc., two
privately-held companies based in Toronto, Ontario specializing in selling
off-price sporting goods.

  Branded Division

  Through our Branded Division, we designed, marketed and distributed athletic
and outdoor footwear products under the RYKA brand and the Yukon brand. RYKA
is a high performance athletic footwear brand designed exclusively for women.
RYKA products included the following categories: aerobic fitness, cross-
training, running, walking and aqua aerobics.

  Yukon is a performance outdoor and rugged casual footwear brand designed for
men, women and children. Yukon products included the following categories:
hiking boots, cross-terrain boots, trail walking shoes, rugged casual shoes
and work boots.

  Prior to selling the Branded Division, we developed a variety of promotional
programs for our RYKA and Yukon brands. Because of our limited resources,
however, we historically concentrated our marketing efforts on less costly,
grass-roots approaches, such as point-of-purchase and other retailer
promotions. We relied principally on independent sales organizations to sell
RYKA and Yukon footwear to their customer accounts. These independent sales
organizations covered all 50 states and Canada and were compensated on a
commission basis. The primary customers of our branded products were athletic
footwear stores, sporting goods stores, department stores and independent
retailers.

  The products of our Branded Division competed with other branded products,
as well as with private label products sold by retailers, including some of
our customers. RYKA competed with many brands of athletic footwear, including
Nike, Reebok, adidas, Avia, Asics, New Balance and Saucony. Yukon competed
with a

                                      15
<PAGE>

number of other brands of rugged outdoor and casual footwear, including
Timberland, Rockport (a division of Reebok), Nike ACG, Columbia, Hi-Tec,
Merrell, Vasque and Wolverine. In varying degrees, depending on the product
category involved, we competed on the basis of style, price, quality, comfort
and brand name prestige and recognition.

  Our products were designed and developed in-house, although we periodically
used outside design firms to supplement our design efforts. Products of our
Branded Division were produced by independent contract manufacturers located
in Asia. We did not own or operate any manufacturing facilities. We oversaw
the key phases of production from initial prototype manufacture through
initial production runs to final manufacture. We sought to use, whenever
possible, manufacturers that had previously produced our footwear, which we
believed enhanced continuity and quality while controlling production costs.

 Facilities and Employees

  We operated our historical business from a 75,000 square-foot office and
warehouse facility in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania that we leased from
Michael G. Rubin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, we
own a 12,000 square-foot facility in North York, Ontario that we used
primarily for our Off-Price and Action Sports Division. This facility is being
sold as part of the sale of our Off-Price and Action Sports Division. We also
used third-party public warehouses in California and Ontario, Canada for our
Branded Division.

  As of April 28, 2000, we employed 55 full-time employees in our Off-Price
and Action Sports Division.

Risk Factors

  Any investment in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk.
You should carefully consider the following information about these risks,
together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form
10-K/A. If any of the following risks occur, our business could be materially
harmed. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could
decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common
stock. This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors, including those described
below, may cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results.

 Risks Particular to Our Business

  Our future success cannot be predicted based upon our limited e-commerce
operating history.

  Although we commenced operations in 1987, we did not initiate our e-commerce
business until the first quarter of 1999 and did not begin operating the e-
commerce sporting goods businesses of our partners until the fourth quarter of
1999. Prior to the fourth quarter of 1999, when we launched the e-commerce
sporting goods business we operate for our partners, 100% of our revenues had
been generated by our discontinued operations. Upon completion of the sale of
discontinued operations, 100% of our revenues will be generated through our
e-commerce business. Based on our limited experience with our e-commerce
business, it is difficult to predict whether we will be successful. Thus, our
chances of financial and operational success should be evaluated in light of
the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with
operating a business in a relatively new and unproven market, many of which
may be beyond our control. Our failure to address these issues could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

  We expect significant increases in our operating expenses and continuing
losses.

  We incurred substantial losses for fiscal 1999 and, as of January 1, 2000 we
had an accumulated deficit of $43.1 million. We have not achieved
profitability from our continuing operations. We may not obtain enough
customer traffic or a high enough volume of purchases from our partners' e-
commerce sporting goods businesses to generate sufficient revenues to achieve
profitability. We believe that we will continue to incur operating and

                                      16
<PAGE>

net losses for the next few years. We believe that our losses in fiscal 2000
will be significantly greater than our losses in fiscal 1999. There can be no
assurances that we will be able to reverse these accelerating losses. We
intend to increase our operating expenses substantially as we:

  .  enhance and expand our third-party distribution and order fulfillment
     capabilities or develop our own;

  .  improve our order processing systems and capabilities by transitioning
     order processing from our current third-party provider to in-house;

  .  develop enhanced technologies and features to improve our partners' e-
     commerce sporting goods businesses;

  .  expand our customer service capabilities to better serve our customers'
     needs;

  .  increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing
     operations; and

  .  increase our sales and marketing activities.

  Because we will incur many of these expenses before we receive any revenues
from our efforts, our losses will be greater than the losses we would incur if
we developed our business more slowly. In addition, we may find that these
efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate, which would further
increase our losses. Also, the timing of these expenses may contribute to
fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.

  Our success is tied to the success of the sporting goods industry and our
partners for which we operate e-commerce sporting goods businesses.

  Our future success is substantially dependent upon the success of the
sporting goods industry and our partners for which we operate e-commerce
sporting goods businesses. From time to time, the sporting goods industry has
experienced downturns. Any downturn in the sporting goods industry could
adversely affect our business. In addition, if our partners were to have
financial difficulties or seek protection from their creditors, or if we are
unable to replace our partners or obtain new partners, it could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  We enter into long-term contracts with our partners. If we do not maintain
good working relationships with our partners or perform as required under
these agreements it could adversely affect our business.

  We enter into contracts with our partners with terms ranging from five to 15
years. These agreements establish new and complex relationships between our
partners and us. We spend a significant amount of time and effort to maintain
our relationships with our partners and address the issues that from time to
time may arise from these new and complex relationships. If we do not maintain
a good working relationship with our partners or perform as required under
these agreements, our partners could seek to terminate the agreements prior to
the end of the term or they could decide not to renew the contracts at the end
of the term. This could adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations. Moreover, our partners could decide not to renew these
contracts for reasons not related to our performance.

  Although we refer to the traditional sporting goods retailers, general
merchandisers, Internet companies and media companies for which we develop and
operate e-commerce sporting goods businesses as our "partners," we do not act
as an agent or legal representative for any of our partners. We do not have
the power or authority to legally bind any of our partners. Similarly, our
partners do not have the power or authority to legally bind us. In addition,
we do not have the types of liabilities for our partners that a general
partner of a partnership would have. Our current partners include The
Athlete's Foot, BlueLight.com, Dunham's Sports, Healtheon/WebMD, MC Sports,
Oshman's Sporting Goods, Sport Chalet and The Sports Authority.

  Our operating results are difficult to predict. If we fail to meet the
expectations of public market analysts and investors, the market price of our
common stock may decline significantly.

  Our annual and quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in
the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our
control. Because our operating results may be volatile and difficult to

                                      17
<PAGE>

predict, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be a
good indication of our future performance. In some future quarter our
operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and
investors. In this event, the trading price of our common stock may decline
significantly.

  Factors that may harm our business or cause our operating results to
fluctuate include the following:

  .  our inability to retain existing partners or to obtain new partners;

  .  our inability to obtain new customers at a reasonable cost, retain
     existing customers or encourage repeat purchases;

  .  decreases in the number of visitors to the e-commerce sporting goods
     businesses operated by us or the inability to convert these visitors
     into customers;

  .  our failure to offer an appealing mix of sporting goods, apparel,
     footwear and other products;

  .  our inability to adequately maintain, upgrade and develop our partners'
     Web sites, the systems used to process customers' orders and payments or
     our computer network;

  .  the ability of our competitors to offer new or superior e-commerce
     sporting goods businesses, services or products;

  .  price competition that results in lower profit margins or losses;

  .  our inability to obtain specific products and brands or unwillingness of
     vendors to sell their products to us;

  .  unanticipated fluctuations in the amount of consumer spending on
     sporting goods and related products, which tend to be discretionary
     spending items;

  .  increases in the cost of Internet or other advertising;

  .  increases in the amount and timing of operating costs and capital
     expenditures relating to expansion of our operations;

  .  unexpected increases in shipping costs or delivery times, particularly
     during the holiday season;

  .  technical difficulties, system security breaches, system downtime or
     Internet slowdowns;

  .  seasonality;

  .  our inability to manage inventory levels or control inventory theft;

  .  our inability to manage distribution operations or provide adequate
     levels of customer service;

  .  an increase in the level of our product returns;

  .  government regulations related to use of the Internet for commerce; and

  .  unfavorable economic conditions specific to the Internet, e-commerce or
     the sporting goods industry.

 Seasonal fluctuations in the sales of sporting goods could cause wide
fluctuations in our quarterly results.

  We expect to experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. These
seasonal patterns will cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results.
In particular, we expect that our fourth fiscal quarter will account for a
large percentage of our total annual sales. In anticipation of increased sales
activity during our fourth fiscal quarter, we may hire a significant number of
temporary employees to bolster our permanent staff and significantly increase
our inventory levels. For this reason, if our revenues were below seasonal
expectations during the fourth fiscal quarter, our annual operating results
could be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors.

  Due to the limited operating history of our e-commerce business, it is
difficult to predict the seasonal pattern of our sales and the impact of this
seasonality on our business and financial results. In the future, our seasonal
sales patterns may become more pronounced, may strain our personnel, product
distribution and shipment activities and may cause a shortfall in revenues as
compared to expenses in a given period.


                                      18
<PAGE>

  We have been unable to fund our e-commerce operations with the cash
generated from our business. If we do not generate cash sufficient to fund our
operations, we may need additional financing to continue our growth or our
growth may be limited.

  Because we have not generated sufficient cash from operations to date, we
have funded our e-commerce operations primarily from the sale of equity
securities. Cash from revenues must increase significantly for us to fund
anticipated operating expenses internally. If our cash flows are insufficient
to fund these expenses, we may need to fund our growth through additional debt
or equity financings or reduce costs. Further, we may not be able to obtain
financing on satisfactory terms. Our inability to finance our growth, either
internally or externally, may limit our growth potential and our ability to
execute our business strategy. If we issue securities to raise capital, our
existing stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new securities
may have rights senior to those of our common stock.

  We must develop and maintain relationships with key brand manufacturers to
obtain a sufficient assortment and quantity of quality merchandise on
acceptable commercial terms. If we are unable to do so, it could adversely
affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

  We primarily purchase the products we offer directly from the manufacturers
of the products. If we are unable to develop and maintain relationships with
these manufacturers, we may be unable to obtain or continue to carry a
sufficient assortment and quantity of quality merchandise on acceptable
commercial terms and our business could be adversely impacted. We do not have
written contracts with most of our manufacturers. Manufacturers could stop
selling products to us and may ask us to remove their products or logos from
our partners' Web sites. In some circumstances, our partners purchase products
directly from manufacturers for sale on their Web sites. If we or our partners
are unable to obtain products directly from manufacturers, especially popular
brand manufacturers, we may not be able to obtain the same or comparable
merchandise in a timely manner or on acceptable commercial terms. We currently
do not offer some popular brands of sporting goods, such as Nike. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to offer these brands in the future. If we
are unable to offer a sufficient assortment and quantity of quality products
at acceptable prices, we may lose sales and market share.

  Capacity constraints or system failures could materially and adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  Any system failure, including network, software or hardware failure, that
causes interruption of the availability of our partners' Web sites could
result in decreased usage of these Web sites. If these failures are sustained
or repeated, they could reduce the attractiveness of our partners' Web sites
to customers, vendors and advertisers. Our operations are subject to damage or
interruption from:

  .  fire, flood, earthquake or other natural disasters;

  .  power losses, interruptions or brown-outs;

  .  Internet, telecommunications or data network failures;

  .  physical and electronic break-ins or security breaches;

  .  computer viruses; and

  .  other similar events.

  We launched our first six partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The limited time during which we have been
operating these businesses, as well as the inherent unpredictability of the
events described above, makes it difficult to predict whether the occurrence
of any of these events is likely. If any of these events do occur, they could
result in interruptions, delays or cessations in service to users of our
partners' Web sites, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.


                                      19
<PAGE>

  In addition, we maintain our computers on which we operate our partners' Web
sites at the site of a third-party provider. We cannot control the maintenance
and operation of this site, which is also susceptible to similar disasters and
problems. We have no formal disaster recovery plan, and our insurance policies
may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Any system
failure that causes an interruption in our service or a decrease in
responsiveness could harm our relationships with our customers and result in
reduced revenues. See "Business--Technology."

  We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology or keep up with that
of our competitors.

  Our success depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our
software and other proprietary intellectual property rights. We may be unable
to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information, detect unauthorized
use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. In
addition, our competitors could, without violating our proprietary rights,
develop technologies that are as good as or better than our technology. Our
failure to protect our software and other proprietary intellectual property
rights or to develop technologies that are as good as our competitors' could
put us at a disadvantage to our competitors. In addition, the failure of our
partners to protect their intellectual property rights, including their domain
names, could impair our operations. These failures could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  If we do not respond to rapid technological changes, our services could
become obsolete and we could lose customers.

  We may face material delays in introducing new services, products and
enhancements. If this happens, our customers may forego the use of our
partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses and use those of our
competitors. To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve
the functionality and features of our partners' e-commerce sporting goods
businesses. The Internet and the online commerce industry are rapidly
changing. If competitors introduce new products and services using new
technologies or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our partners'
existing Web sites and our proprietary technology and systems may become
obsolete.

  Developing our partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses and other
proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. We
may use new technologies ineffectively or we may fail to adapt our partners'
Web sites, our order processing systems and our computer network to meet
customer requirements or emerging industry standards.

  We may be subject to intellectual property claims that could be costly and
could disrupt our business.

  Third parties may assert that our business or technologies infringe their
intellectual property rights. From time to time, we may receive notices from
third parties questioning our right to present specific images or logos on our
partners' Web sites, or stating that we have infringed their trademarks or
copyrights. We may in the future receive claims that we are engaging in unfair
competition or other illegal trade practices. We may be unsuccessful in
defending against any of these claims, which could result in substantial
damages, fines or other penalties. The resolution of a claim could also
require us to change how we do business, redesign our partners' Web sites and
other systems or enter into burdensome royalty or licensing agreements. These
license or royalty agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable
terms, if at all, in the event of a successful claim of infringement. Our
insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover every claim that third parties
could assert against us. Even unsuccessful claims could result in significant
legal fees and other expenses, diversion of management's time and disruptions
in our business. Any of these claims could also harm our reputation.

  We rely on our developing relationships with online services, search engines
and directories to drive traffic to the e-commerce sporting goods businesses
we operate. If we are unable to develop or maintain these relationships, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected.


                                      20
<PAGE>

  We are developing relationships with online services, search engines and
directories to provide content and advertising banners that link to our
partners' Web sites. We expect to rely on these relationships as significant
sources of traffic to our partners' Web sites and to generate new customers.
If we are unable to develop satisfactory relationships with high-traffic Web
sites on acceptable terms, our ability to attract new customers could be
harmed. Further, many of the Web sites with which we may have online
advertising arrangements could provide advertising services for other
marketers of sporting goods. As a result, these Web sites may be reluctant to
enter into or maintain relationships with us. Failure to achieve sufficient
traffic or generate sufficient revenue from purchases originating from third-
party Web sites may result in termination of these types of relationships.
Without these relationships, we may not be able to sufficiently increase
market share and our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.

  Our success is dependent upon our executive officers and other key
personnel.

  Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contribution of our
executive officers and other key personnel, particularly Michael G. Rubin,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We have employment agreements with some
of our executive officers and key personnel. We cannot be sure, however, that
we will be able to retain or attract executive, managerial and other key
personnel. We have obtained key person life insurance for Mr. Rubin in the
amount of $7.25 million. We have not obtained key person life insurance on any
of our other executive officers or key personnel.

  We may be unable to hire and retain the skilled personnel necessary to
develop our business.

  We intend to hire a significant number of skilled personnel in fiscal 2000
and beyond. Competition for these individuals is intense, and we may not be
able to attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified personnel in the
future. Our failure to attract and retain the highly trained personnel that
are integral to our business may limit our growth rate, which would harm our
business.

  We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors, which could harm our margins and our business.

  The e-commerce market is new, rapidly evolving and extremely competitive. In
addition, there is a significant amount of capital currently available to fund
existing and potential competitors. Increased competition could result in
price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which
could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations. We compete with a variety of companies, including:

  .  online sporting goods retailers such as Chipshot.com, Fogdog.com and
     Gear.com;

  .  general merchandise e-commerce companies such as Mercata.com,
     Onsale.com, and uBid.com;

  .  full-line electronic retailers that are associated with full-line
     sporting goods stores such as Dsports.com associated with Dick's
     Sporting Goods, MVP.com, associated with Galyans, and Shopsports.com
     associated with Copeland's

  .  e-commerce businesses of specialty sporting goods retailers and catalogs
     such as Footaction.com, Footlocker.com and REI.com;

  .  e-commerce businesses of traditional general merchandise retailers such
     as Target.com and Wal-Mart.com; and

  .  e-commerce businesses of sporting goods manufacturers such as adidas.com
     and Nike.com.

  In addition, we compete with companies that can provide part of our
solutions to companies that wish to establish e-commerce sporting goods
businesses, including:

  .  Web site developers, such as Sapient, Scient and Viant; and

  .  third-party fulfillment and customer services providers, such as
     Fingerhut, Keystone Internet Services and ClientLogic.

                                      21
<PAGE>

  Finally, we compete with traditional channels of distribution for sporting
goods, including full-line sporting goods retailers, specialty sporting goods
retailers, general merchandise retailers, catalogs and manufacturers' direct
stores.

  If we experience problems in our fulfillment, warehouse and distribution
operations, we could lose customers.

  We currently rely upon a third-party to handle the fulfillment of our
customer orders and the warehousing of our inventory. We also rely upon
multiple third parties to handle the shipment of our products. As a result, we
are subject to the risks associated with the ability of these third parties to
successfully and timely fulfill and ship customer orders and to successfully
handle our inventory delivery services to meet our shipping needs. The failure
of these third parties to provide these services, or the termination or
interruption of these services, could adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition.

  We currently plan to assume responsibility for the fulfillment of large and
oversized product orders during fiscal 2000 and may assume responsibility for
the fulfillment of other product orders in fiscal 2000. We could experience
problems during the transition of control from third-party to us. If
transition problems arise, it could result in additional expenses and could
divert management's attention from other aspects of our business. If we are
unable to successfully, timely and cost efficiently effect this transition and
perform these fulfillment services, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be adversely affected.

  Sporting goods and apparel are subject to changing consumer preferences. If
we fail to anticipate these changes, we could experience lower sales, higher
inventory markdowns and lower margins.

  Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and respond to trends in
sporting goods merchandise and consumers' participation in sports. Consumers'
tastes in apparel and sporting goods equipment are subject to frequent and
significant changes, due in part to manufacturers' efforts to incorporate
advanced technologies into some types of sporting goods. In addition, the
level of consumer interest in a given sport can fluctuate dramatically. Prior
to commencing our e-commerce business, our businesses were primarily
concentrated in athletic footwear and apparel. Accordingly, we do not have
experience in the full range of sporting goods. If we fail to identify and
respond to changes in sporting goods merchandising and recreational sports
participation, our sales could suffer and we could be required to mark down
unsold inventory. This would depress our profit margins. In addition, any
failure to keep pace with changes in consumers' recreational sports habits
could allow our competitors to gain market share which could have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  High merchandise returns could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

  Our policy for allowing our customers to return products is consistent with
the policies of each of our partners for which we operate e-commerce sporting
goods businesses. Our ability to handle a large volume of returns is unproven.
If merchandise returns are significant, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be adversely affected.

  We may be subject to product liability claims that could be costly and time
consuming.

  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. Similarly, we could be subject to claims
that users of our partners' Web sites were harmed due to their reliance on our
product information, product selection guides, advice or instructions. If a
successful claim were brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage,
it could adversely affect our business. Even unsuccessful claims could result
in the expenditure of funds and management time and could have a negative
impact on our business.


                                      22
<PAGE>

  We may be liable if third parties misappropriate our customers' personal
information.

  If third parties are able to penetrate our network security or otherwise
misappropriate our customers' personal information or credit card information,
we could be subject to liability. This liability could include claims for
unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other
similar fraud claims. They could also include claims for other misuses of
personal information, including unauthorized marketing purposes. These claims
could result in litigation. Liability for misappropriation of this information
could adversely affect our business. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission
and state agencies have been investigating various Internet companies
regarding their use of personal information. We could incur additional
expenses if new regulations regarding the use of personal information are
introduced or if government agencies investigate our privacy practices.

  We are controlled by certain principal stockholders.

  As of April 28, 2000, Michael G. Rubin, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, beneficially owned 43.2% and funds affiliated with SOFTBANK America
Inc., referred to as SOFTBANK, beneficially owned 33.1% of our outstanding
common stock. Mr. Rubin and SOFTBANK are in a position to exercise control
over most matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election or
removal of directors, approval of significant corporate transactions, and the
ability generally to direct our affairs. Furthermore, the stock purchase
agreements pursuant to which SOFTBANK acquired its shares of our common stock
provide that SOFTBANK has the right to designate up to three members of our
board, depending on the number of shares of our common stock held by SOFTBANK.
This concentration of ownership and SOFTBANK's right to designate members to
our board may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of
us, including transactions where stockholders might otherwise receive a
premium over current market prices for their shares.

  There are risks associated with potential acquisitions. As a result, we may
not achieve the expected benefits of potential acquisitions.

  If we are presented with appropriate opportunities, we may make investments
in complementary companies, products or technologies or we may purchase other
companies. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any investment or
acquisition. We may not be able to successfully assimilate the additional
personnel, operations, acquired technology and products into our business. The
proposed acquisition may further strain our existing financial and managerial
controls and reporting systems and procedures. In addition, key personnel of
the acquired company may decide not to work for us. These difficulties could
disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees or
increase our expenses. Further, the physical expansion in facilities that
would occur as a result of any acquisition may result in disruptions that
seriously impair our business. Finally, we may have to incur debt or issue
equity securities to pay for any acquisitions or investments, the issuance of
which could be dilutive to our stockholders.

  We may expand our business internationally, causing our business to become
increasingly susceptible to numerous international business risks and
challenges that could affect our profitability.

  We believe that the current globalization of the economy requires businesses
to consider pursuing international expansion. In the future, we may expand
into international markets. International sales are subject to inherent risks
and challenges that could adversely affect our profitability, including:

  .  the need to develop new supplier and manufacturer relationships,
     particularly because major sporting goods manufacturers may require that
     our international operations deal with local distributors;

  .  unexpected changes in international regulatory requirements and tariffs;

  .  difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

  .  longer payment cycles from credit card companies;

  .  greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;


                                      23
<PAGE>

  .  potential adverse tax consequences;

  .  price controls or other restrictions on foreign currency; and

  .  difficulties in obtaining export and import licenses.

  To the extent we generate international sales in the future, any negative
aspects on our international business could negatively impact our business,
operating results and financial condition as a whole. In particular, gains and
losses on the conversion of foreign payments into United States dollars may
contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations and fluctuating
exchange rates could cause reduced gross revenues and/or gross margins from
dollar-denominated international sales.

  We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

  We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
that any cash dividends will be declared or paid in the foreseeable future.

  There are risks relating to our Year 2000 compliance.

  Many existing computer software programs and operating systems were designed
such that the year 1999 is the maximum date that many computer systems will be
able to process. We addressed the potential problems posed by this limitation
in our systems software to assure that it was prepared for the Year 2000. We
did not incur any Year 2000 problem as a result of the passage of January 1,
2000. However, it is possible that problems may occur even after arrival of
the Year 2000. If we or third parties with which we conduct material business
experience problems caused by Year 2000 problems, there may be a material
adverse effect on our results of operations.

  It may be difficult for a third-party to acquire our company and this could
depress our stock price.

  Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we have
authorized a class of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which the board of
directors may issue with terms, rights, preferences and designations as the
board may determine and without any vote of the stockholders, unless otherwise
required by law. Issuing the preferred stock, depending upon the rights,
preferences and designations set by the board, may delay, deter or prevent a
change in control of our company. Issuing additional shares of common stock
could result in dilution of the voting power of the current holders of our
common stock. In addition, "anti-takeover" provisions of Delaware law may
restrict the ability of the stockholders to approve a merger or business
combination or obtain control of our company.

  There are limitations on the liabilities of our directors.

  Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and under
Delaware law, our directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability for breach
of a director's duty of loyalty, acts or omissions by a director not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
for dividend payments or stock repurchases that are unlawful under Delaware
law or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal
benefit.

 Risks Related to the Internet Industry

  Our success is tied to the continued growth in the use of the Internet and
the adequacy of the Internet infrastructure.

  Our future success is substantially dependent upon continued growth in the
use of the Internet. The number of users and advertisers on the Internet may
not increase and commerce over the Internet may not become more accepted and
widespread for a number of reasons, including:


                                      24
<PAGE>

  .  actual or perceived lack of security of information, including credit
     card numbers;

  .  lack of access and ease of use;

  .  congestion of traffic on the Internet;

  .  inconsistent quality of service and lack of availability of cost-
     effective, high-speed service;

  .  possible disruptions, computer viruses or other damage to the Internet
     servers or to users' computers;

  .  excessive governmental regulation;

  .  uncertainty regarding intellectual property ownership; and

  .  lack of high-speed modems and other communications equipment.

  Published reports have also indicated that growth in the use of the Internet
has resulted in users experiencing delays, transmission errors and other
difficulties. As currently configured, the Internet may not support an
increase in the number or requirements of users. In addition, there have been
outages and delays on the Internet as a result of damage to the current
infrastructure. The amount of traffic on our partners' Web sites could be
materially affected if there are outages or delays in the future. The use of
the Internet may also decline if there are delays in the development or
adoption of modifications by third parties that are required to support
increased levels of activity on the Internet. If none of the foregoing changes
occur, or if the Internet does not become a viable commercial medium, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected. In addition, even if those changes occur, we may be
required to spend significant capital to adapt our operations to any new or
emerging technologies relating to the Internet.

  The technology of the Internet is changing rapidly and could render the Web
sites which we operate obsolete.

  The technology of the Internet and e-commerce is evolving rapidly for many
reasons, including:

  .  customers frequently changing their requirements and preferences;

  .  competitors frequently introducing new products and services; and

  .  industry associations and others creating new industry standards and
     practices.

  These changes could render the Web sites which we operate obsolete. Our
ability to attract customers could be seriously impaired if we do not
accomplish the following tasks:

  .  continually enhance and improve our partners' Web sites;

  .  identify, select and obtain leading technologies useful in our business;
     and

  .  respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards in a
     cost-effective manner and timely manner.

  Customers may be unwilling to use the Internet to purchase goods.

  Our long-term future depends heavily upon the general public's willingness
to use the Internet as a means to purchase goods. The failure of the Internet
to develop into an effective commercial tool would seriously damage our future
operations. E-commerce is a new concept, and large numbers of customers may
not begin or continue to use the Internet to purchase goods. The demand for
and acceptance of products sold over the Internet are highly uncertain, and
most e-commerce businesses have a short track record. If consumers are
unwilling to use the Internet to conduct business, our business may not
develop profitably. The Internet may not succeed as a medium of commerce
because of delays in developing elements of the needed Internet
infrastructure, such as a reliable network, high-speed modems, high-speed
communication lines and other enabling technologies.

  The security risks of e-commerce may discourage customers from purchasing
goods from us.

  In order for the e-commerce market to develop successfully, we and other
market participants must be able to transmit confidential information securely
over public networks. Third parties may have the technology or

                                      25
<PAGE>

know-how to breach the security of customer transaction data. Any breach could
cause customers to lose confidence in the security of our partners' Web sites
and choose not to purchase from those Web sites. If someone is able to
circumvent our security measures, he or she could destroy or steal valuable
information or disrupt the operation of our partners' Web sites. Concerns
about the security and privacy of transactions over the Internet could inhibit
the growth of the Internet and e-commerce. Our security measures may not
effectively prohibit others from obtaining improper access to the information
on our partners' Web sites. Any security breach could expose us to risks of
loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations.

  Our business is subject to United States and foreign governmental regulation
of the Internet and taxation.

  Congress and various state and local governments have recently passed
legislation that regulates various aspects of the Internet, including online
content, copyright infringement, user privacy, sales and advertising of
certain products and services and taxation. In addition, federal, state, local
and foreign governmental organizations are also considering legislative and
regulatory proposals that would regulate the Internet. Areas of potential
regulation include libel, pricing, quality of products and services and
intellectual property ownership. A number of proposals have been made at the
state and local level that would impose taxes on the sale of goods and
services through the Internet. These proposals, if adopted, could
substantially impair the growth of e-commerce and could adversely affect our
future business, results of operation and financial condition.

  In addition, United States and foreign laws regulate our ability to use
customer information and to develop, buy and sell mailing lists. New
restrictions in this area could limit our ability to operate as planned and
result in significant compliance costs.

  Regulations imposed by the Federal Trade Commission may adversely affect the
growth of our Internet business or its marketing efforts.

  The Federal Trade Commission has adopted regulations regarding the
collection and use of personal identifying information obtained from children
under 13. In addition, bills pending in Congress would extend online privacy
protections to adults. Laws and regulations of this kind may include
requirements that we establish procedures to disclose and notify users of
privacy and security policies, obtain consent from users for collection and
use of information and provide users with the ability to access, correct and
delete personal information stored by us. These regulations may also include
enforcement and remedial provisions. Even in the absence of those regulations,
the Federal Trade Commission has begun investigations into the privacy
practices of other companies that collect information on the Internet. One
investigation resulted in a consent decree under which an Internet company
agreed to establish programs to implement the principles noted above. We could
become a party to a similar investigation or enforcement proceeding, or the
Federal Trade Commission's regulatory and enforcement efforts may harm our
ability to collect demographic and personal information from users, which
could be costly or adversely affect our marketing efforts.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES

  Our principal executive offices are located in a newly-renovated 56,000
square foot facility purchased by us on August 20, 1999 and located in King of
Prussia, Pennsylvania. In addition, we utilize a third-party warehousing
facility in Memphis, Tennessee in connection with the operation of our e-
commerce business.

  We believe that our owned and third-party properties are adequate for our
present needs and that suitable additional or replacement space will be
available as required.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  We are involved in various routine litigation incidental to our current and
discontinued businesses. We believe that the disposition of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

  On July 23, 1999, SOFTBANK America Inc., through certain of its affiliates
(collectively, "SOFTBANK"), acquired an aggregate of 6,153,850 shares of the
Company's common stock 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 approximately
$80.0 million.

  On May 1, 2000, SOFTBANK acquired an additional 2,500,000 shares of Common
Stock and TMCT Ventures, L.P. ("TMCT") acquired 625,000 shares of Common Stock
at a price of $8.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0
million. In addition, we issued to SOFTBANK warrants to purchase 1,250,000
shares of common stock, and to TMCT warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of
common stock, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share.

  These transactions were not public offerings, nor were any underwriters or
underwriting discounts or commissions involved. Based upon information
available to the Company as of the date of the above transactions, including
certain representations and warranties of SOFTBANK and TMCT, the Company
believes that the transactions were exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of Section 4(2) thereof.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. This discussion and analysis contains forward-
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements as a result of factors including those discussed in "Risk Factors"
and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Overview

  We develop and operate e-commerce sporting goods businesses for traditional
sporting goods retailers, general merchandisers, Internet companies and media
companies under exclusive long-term agreements. We enable our partners to
capitalize on their existing brand assets to exploit online opportunities in
the $45.8 billion sporting goods retail industry. We customize the design of a
partner's Web site with a broad range of characteristics that includes a
differentiated user interface, partner-specific content pages, an extensive
electronic catalog of product descriptions and images, a searchable database
and interactive communication tools. We currently derive virtually all of our
revenues from the sale of merchandise through or to our partners' e-commerce
sporting goods businesses. It is possible, however, that in the future we may
derive revenues from providing services in connection with the design,
development, operation and promotion of our partners' e-commerce sporting
goods businesses. We launched our initial six partners' e-commerce sporting
goods businesses in November 1999: www.dunhamssports.com, www.mcsports.com,
www.sportchalet.com, www.theathletesfoot.com, www.thesportsauthority.com and
store.webmd.com. We have announced agreements with BlueLight.com and Oshman's
Sporting Goods to launch their e-commerce sporting goods businesses in the
second quarter of 2000.

Company Background

  Prior to our decision to initiate our e-commerce sporting goods business, we
operated two primary businesses, our Branded Division and our Off-Price and
Action Sports Division. From inception in 1986 through December 1999, we
designed, marketed and distributed high performance athletic footwear
exclusively for women under the RYKA brand name. From December 1997 through
December 1999, as part of our Branded Division, we also designed, marketed and
distributed outdoor footwear under the Yukon brand name. During the same
period, as part of our Off-Price and Action Sports Division, we purchased
closeouts, overstocks, canceled orders and excess inventories of athletic,
outdoor, casual and specialty footwear, athletic apparel and athletic
equipment from manufacturers and retailers for resale, and designed and
distributed special make-up athletic equipment.

  In April 1999, we formalized our plan to divest these divisions in order to
focus exclusively on the development of our e-commerce business. Accordingly,
for financial statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of
operations and cash flows of these divisions have been segregated from that of
continuing operations and are presented as discontinued operations. Our
consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-
K/A have been reclassified to reflect this presentation.

  On June 10, 1999, in order to finance our e-commerce business, we agreed to
sell to funds affiliated with SOFTBANK 6,153,850 shares of common stock at a
price of $13.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$80.0 million. The purchase price reflected the closing price of our common
stock on May 26, 1999, the day prior to the day we and SOFTBANK agreed in
principle to the transaction. The sale of these shares was completed on July
23, 1999.

  On September 24, 1999, in furtherance of our plan to sell our historical
businesses, we entered into an agreement, as amended on March 13, 2000, to
sell our Off-Price and Action Sports Division for a cash payment

                                      31
<PAGE>

at closing of $13.2 million and the assumption by the purchaser of $4.0
million in indebtedness. We are seeking stockholder approval of this sale at
our annual stockholders meeting to be held on May 25, 2000. Michael G. Rubin,
our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who as of the record date for the
annual meeting, beneficially owned approximately 43.2% of our outstanding
shares, and SOFTBANK, who as of the record date for the annual meeting,
beneficially owned approximately 33.2% of our outstanding shares, have
indicated that they intend to vote for approval of the sale. We expect the
sale to close soon after our annual stockholders meeting. For fiscal 1999, we
have recognized a loss of approximately $5.2 million related to the
disposition of this division.

  On December 29, 1999, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Branded
Division, other than accounts receivable of approximately $6.6 million, for a
cash payment of approximately $10.4 million. For fiscal 1999, we have
recognized a loss of approximately $12.1 million related to the disposition of
this division.

  On April 27, 2000, in order to continue financing our e-commerce operations,
we agreed to sell to funds affiliated with SOFTBANK 2,500,000 shares of common
stock and to TMCT 625,000 shares of common stock at a price of $8.00 per share
for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million. In addition, we issued to
SOFTBANK warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock, and to TMCT
warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of
$10.00 per share. The sale of these shares and warrants was completed on May
1, 2000.

Financial Presentation

  We did not launch our partners' e-commerce businesses until the fourth
quarter of 1999. As a result, our historical financial statements are of
limited use in making an investment decision because they principally reflect
our discontinued operations. Our financial statements for the fourth quarter
of 1999 and forward will reflect our e-commerce business. These financial
statements will present:

  .  revenues, which are derived from the sale of merchandise, net of
     returns, and are recognized when the merchandise is shipped;

  .  cost of revenues, which consists of the cost of the products sold and
     net freight costs, other than outbound shipping costs related to our
     temporary free shipping promotions which are included in sales and
     marketing expenses;

  .  sales and marketing expenses, which consist primarily of advertising and
     promotional expenses, including temporary free-shipping, distribution
     facility and fulfillment expenses, order processing fees, payroll and
     related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, buying,
     merchandising, client services, partner revenue shares and customer
     service;

  .  product development expenses, which consist primarily of expenses
     associated with content development; developing and operating our
     partners' Web sites; payroll and related expenses for engineering,
     production, creative and management information systems; and
     depreciation expense related to capitalized hardware and software;

  .  general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of payroll
     and related expenses for administrative, finance, human resources, legal
     and executive personnel, and costs associated with the operation and
     maintenance of our headquarters facility and professional services; and

  .  stock-based compensation expense, which relates to the grant of options,
     warrants and stock awards considered to be compensatory, because the
     estimated fair value for accounting purposes of the options and stock
     awards granted to employees was greater than the stock price on the date
     of grant or because the options or warrants were granted to non-
     employees.

Results of Operations

 Fiscal 1999 and Fiscal 1998

  Net Revenues. We had net revenues from continuing operations of $5.5 million
for fiscal 1999 and no net revenues from continuing operations for fiscal
1998. In fiscal 1999, we operated www.dunhamssports.com, www.mcsports.com,
www.sportchalet.com, www.theathletesfoot.com, www.thesportsauthority.com, and

                                      32
<PAGE>

store.webmd.com. We derived $2.8 million of our total net revenues from
Healtheon/WebMD through the sale of product to support the launch of the WebMD
Sports & Fitness Store, store.webmd.com. This product was sold to
Healtheon/WebMD in connection with a one-time promotion in which
Healtheon/WebMD distributed the products to its physician subscribers to
promote the launch of the WebMD Sports & Fitness Store. We derived no net
revenues from continuing operations for any period prior to November 1999 as
we did not operate any Web sites during those periods.

  Cost of Revenues. We incurred cost of revenues from continuing operations of
$3.8 million for fiscal 1999 and no cost of revenues from continuing
operations for fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of revenues
was 69.3% for fiscal 1999. These costs included the cost of the products sold
and inbound freight costs related to these products, as well as outbound
shipping costs other than those related to our temporary free shipping
promotions which are included in sales and marketing expenses.

  Gross Profit. We had gross profit from continuing operations of $1.7 million
for fiscal 1999 and no gross profit from continuing operations for fiscal
1998. As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit from continuing operations
was 30.7% for fiscal 1999.

  Sales and Marketing Expenses. We incurred sales and marketing expenses from
continuing operations of $11.6 million for fiscal 1999 and no sales and
marketing expenses from continuing operations for fiscal 1998. These expenses
included advertising and promotional expenses including temporary free
shipping, distribution facility expenses, order processing fees and payroll
and related expenses. Also included in this amount are partner revenue shares
which are payments made to our partners in exchange for the use of their brand
assets, the promotion of their URL's in marketing and communication materials,
the implementation of programs to provide incentives to in-store customers to
shop online and other programs and services provided to the customers of our
partners' Web sites. These charges were not significant in fiscal 1999.

  Product Development Expenses. We incurred product development expenses from
continuing operations of $7.3 million for fiscal 1999 and no product
development expenses from continuing operations for fiscal 1998. A meaningful
portion of our product development expenses in fiscal 1999 was paid to third
parties. Because we are currently handling more development internally, we do
not anticipate that a significant portion of our product development expenses
in fiscal 2000 will be for third-party Web site development services.

  General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred general and administrative
expenses from continuing operations of $9.3 million for fiscal 1999 and $3.5
million for fiscal 1998. While our continuing operations were not in existence
in fiscal 1998, the recorded expenses reflect costs for personnel, facilities
and professional fees that are currently associated with our continuing
operations.

  Stock-Based Compensation, Primarily Related to Sales and Marketing,
Expense. We recorded stock-based compensation expense from continuing
operations of $2.7 million for fiscal 1999. This expense related to the
amortization of deferred compensation expense for options granted to employees
and some non-employees and to the value of the options or warrants granted to
some other non-employees. Of the $2.7 million of stock-based compensation
expense, $1.9 million related to warrants granted to our partners, $555,000
related to options or warrants granted to non-employees and $217,000 related
to options granted to employees. As of January 1, 2000, we had an aggregate of
$1.6 million of deferred compensation remaining to be amortized.

  Interest. Interest income consists of interest earned on cash and cash
equivalents. Interest expense relates primarily to bank borrowings. In fiscal
1999, we had interest income of $463,000, net of interest expense. In fiscal
1998, we had $2.4 million of interest expense, net of interest income.

 Fiscal 1998 and Fiscal 1997

  Because our continuing operations were not in existence in fiscal 1998 or
fiscal 1997, we had no net revenues, cost of sales or operating expenses
related to our continuing operations, other than general and administrative
expenses of $3.5 million in fiscal 1998 and $2.4 million in fiscal 1997. These
general and administrative expenses reflect the costs of personnel, facilities
and professional fees that are currently associated with our continuing
operations. Accordingly, comparisons of results from continuing operations for
fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 are not meaningful.

                                      33

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Historically, we financed our operations through a combination of internally
generated funds, equity financings, subordinated borrowings and bank credit
facilities. We used our bank credit facilities to fund our investment in
accounts receivable and inventory necessary to support our historical
businesses.

  In connection with our decision to focus exclusively on our e-commerce
business, we raised approximately $80.0 million in gross proceeds through our
equity financing with SOFTBANK in July 1999. We used part of the proceeds from
this financing to repay the balance on our then outstanding lines of credit,
reduce trade payables and provide operating capital related to our historical
businesses. We also used part of the proceeds to acquire property and
equipment and fund working capital for our e-commerce business. As of January
1, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $27.3 million, and
working capital of approximately $40.6 million, which included approximately
$18.4 million of net assets of discontinued operations.

  We have incurred substantial costs to develop our e-commerce business and to
recruit, train and compensate personnel for our creative, engineering,
marketing, advertising, merchandising, customer service and administration
departments. As a result, we have incurred substantial losses for fiscal 1999
and, as of January 1, 2000, had an accumulated deficit of $43.1 million. In
order to expand our e-commerce business, we intend to invest heavily in
operations, Web site development, marketing, merchandising and additional
personnel. We therefore expect to continue to incur substantial operating
losses for the foreseeable future.

  We used approximately $22.2 million in net cash for operating activities of
continuing operations in fiscal 1999, while we generated approximately $1.1
million in net cash from operating activities of continuing operations in
fiscal 1998. Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations in
fiscal 1999 was primarily the result of net losses from continuing operations
and changes in inventory and accounts receivable, partially offset by changes
in accounts payable and accrued expenses and stock-based compensation expense.
Net cash generated from operating activities of continuing operations in
fiscal 1998 was primarily the result of net losses from continuing operations
and changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

  Our investing activities in fiscal 1999 consisted of purchases of property
and equipment. We made capital expenditures of approximately $18.4 million in
fiscal 1999, which were partially offset by $10.4 million in proceeds of the
sale of our Branded Division.

  As of January 1, 2000, we had commitments of $6.4 million relating to the
implementation of advertising and promotion programs. In addition, we have
agreed to provide Yahoo! with not less than $5.0 million of barter media
during the term of our agreement with Yahoo!. The barter media consists of
including the Yahoo! logo on mutually agreed upon advertising in a partner's
retail stores and newspaper promotions. See Note 11 to our consolidated
financial statements.

  In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, we expect to receive a cash payment of
$13.2 million relating to the sale of our Off-Price and Action Sports
Division.

  To date, we have financed our e-commerce operations primarily from the sale
of equity securities. Management expects that our current cash position
combined with the proceeds from the sale of our Off-Price and Action Sports
Division, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least
the next 12 months. However, our revenues must increase significantly to
internally fund our anticipated operating expenses. If cash flows are
insufficient to fund these expenses, we may need to raise additional funds in
future periods through public or private financings or other arrangements to
fund our operations until we achieve profitability. Failure to raise capital
when needed could seriously harm our business and operating results. If
additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the
percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced. Furthermore, these
equity securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our
common stock.


                                      34
<PAGE>

Seasonality

  We expect to experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. These
seasonal patterns will cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results.
In particular, we expect that the fourth fiscal quarter will account for a
large percentage of our total annual sales. We believe that results of
operations for a quarterly period may not be indicative of the results for any
other quarter or for the full year.

Inflation

  Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our
operations.

Year 2000

  Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept or recognize only two digit entries in the date code field. These
systems and software products need to accept four digit entries to distinguish
21st century dates from 20th century dates. This could result in system
failures or miscalculations causing disruption of operations for any company
using computer programs or hardware.

  With respect to our Branded Division and Off-Price and Action Sports
Division, we maintained a management information system that provided, among
other things, comprehensive customer order processing, inventory, production,
accounting and management information for the marketing, selling,
manufacturing and distribution functions of our business. Subsequent to the
sale of the Branded Division on December 29, 1999, we use these systems only
for the Off-Price and Action Sports Division and in connection with the
collection of the accounts receivable of the Branded Division which it
retained.

  We completed, as of April 1, 1999, a Year 2000 project which evaluated,
identified, corrected, reprogrammed, and tested our existing systems for Year
2000 compliance. We enhanced our key information systems to improve our
functionality and increase performance during the first quarter of 1999,
making these applications Year 2000 compliant. The costs of these upgrades of
approximately $150,000 were charged to operations as incurred. Upon
consummation of the sale of the Off-Price and Action Sports Division and
collection of the accounts receivable of the Branded Division, we will not
have any need for these systems.

  Our e-commerce business is a new enterprise and accordingly, we have
purchased or developed most of the software and hardware we use in our e-
commerce business during fiscal 1999. While this does not uniformly protect us
against Year 2000 exposure, we believe our exposure is limited because the
systems we use are not based upon legacy hardware or software systems.

  We updated our office networking system software to be Year 2000 compliant
during the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The costs of the process did not have
a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity
or capital resources.

  In addition to making our own systems Year 2000 compliant, we contacted the
customers and key suppliers of our Branded Division and Off-Price and Action
Sports Division to determine the extent to which the systems of these
customers and suppliers are Year 2000 compliant and the extent to which we
could be affected by the failure of these third parties to become Year 2000
compliant. We cannot presently estimate the impact of the failure of these
third parties to become Year 2000 compliant, however, subsequent to January 1,
2000, we have not encountered any problems related to Year 2000 issues. There
can be no assurance, however, that future Year 2000 issues, if any, will not
arise.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

  We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment
portfolio. We invest our excess cash in debt instruments of the United States
Government and its agencies and in high-quality corporate issuers. We limit
the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We protect and preserve our
invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk.

                                      35
<PAGE>

  Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning-
instruments carries a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may
have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest
rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if
interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment
income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we
may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have
declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.

  The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of
the long-term debt of its discontinued operations. The Company's objective in
managing its exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the impact of
interest rate changes on cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs.
A portion of the Company's long-term debt is issued at a choice of LIBOR plus
certain basis points or the prime rate less certain basis points, which gives
the Company a certain degree of flexibility to manage interest rate risk. As
of January 1, 2000, a 1% increase in these rates would result in an increase
in interest costs of approximately $150,000. As of December 31, 1998, a 1%
increase in these rates would result in an increase in interest costs of
approximately $370,000. See Note 18 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements beginning on page F-1.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Global Sports, Inc.

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global
Sports, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and
January 1, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended January 1, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1998 and
January 1, 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2000 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

  Global Sports, Inc. ("Global" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation,
develops and operates the electronic commerce ("e-commerce") sporting goods
businesses of several traditional sporting goods retailers, general
merchandisers, internet companies and media companies under exclusive long-
term agreements. The Company currently derives virtually all of its revenues
from the sale of merchandise through or to its partners' e-commerce sporting
goods businesses. The Company currently does not derive revenues from the
provision of services to its partners' e-commerce sporting goods businesses.
Each of the Company's partners owns the URL address of its Web site. Based
upon the terms of the agreements with its partners, the Company owns certain
components of the Web sites and the partners own other components. The
Company's partners include BlueLight.com, Dunham's Sports, Healtheon/WebMD, MC
Sports, Oshman's Sporting Goods, Sport Chalet, The Athlete's Foot and The
Sports Authority.

  See Note 18 for a description of discontinued operations.

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The following summarize the Company's significant accounting policies, some
of which apply only to discontinued operations (see Note 18):

  Fiscal Year: During 1999, the Company changed its fiscal year end date from
a calendar year end to a year end date representing the Saturday closest to
December 31, beginning with the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000. The fiscal
year is named for the calendar year ending on that December 31. The effect on
results of operations of the extra day in the fiscal year ended January 1,
2000 is not significant.

  Principles of Consolidation: The financial statements presented include the
accounts of Global Sports, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the following
wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries:

    Global Sports Interactive, Inc. (PA)
    TheSportsAuthority.com, Inc. (PA)
    APEX Sports International, Inc. (PA)
    KPR Sports International, Inc. (PA)
    MR Management, Inc. (PA)
    1075 First Global Associates, LLC (PA)
    RYKA Inc. (PA)
    G.S.I., Inc. (DE)
    Gen-X Holdings, Inc. (WA)
    Gen-X Equipment Inc. (Ontario)
    Lamar Snowboards, Inc. (MO)

  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

  Use of Estimates: The presentation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates and assumptions.

  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. As of January 1, 2000, the Company had $26,749,053 of excess
cash invested in a money market fund with a major financial institution, which
is included in cash and cash equivalents. Interest income related to this
investment for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000 was $774,139.

  Inventory: Inventory, primarily consisting of sporting goods, athletic
equipment, footwear and apparel, is valued at the lower of cost (determined
using the first-in, first-out method) or market.

                     GLOBAL SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


  Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of
accumulated depreciation or amortization. Costs incurred to develop internal-
use computer software during the application development stage generally are
capitalized. Certain costs incurred to develop our partners' websites are
expensed as incurred due to their short and unpredictable useful lives. There
was no material difference between expensing these costs as incurred and
capitalizing and amortizing these costs. In addition, costs of enhancements to
internal-use computer software are capitalized, provided that these
enhancements result in additional functionality. Depreciation or amortization
is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, which are generally:

  .  Two years for computer hardware and software;

  .  Three to seven years for furniture and office equipment;

  .  The lesser of fifteen years or lease term for leasehold improvements;

  .  Fifteen years for building improvements; and

  .  Thirty years for buildings.

  Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain
or loss, if any, is reflected in results of operations. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

  Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Assets: The cost of goodwill and intangibles
is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten to twenty years. Goodwill is
reported net of accumulated amortization of $777,376 as of December 31, 1998.
Intangibles, which principally represent the cost of acquiring licenses,
patents and trademarks, are reported net of accumulated amortization of
$270,124 as of December 31, 1998. Amortization of goodwill and intangibles is
included in discontinued operations. As a result of the disposition of the
Branded division on December 29, 1999 (see Note 18), goodwill and intangibles
were fully amortized and the related charge is included in the loss on
disposition of discontinued operations.

  Closing and other fees incurred at the inception of loan facilities are
deferred and are amortized over the term of the loan agreement (see Note 15).
As a result of the disposition of the Branded division on December 29, 1999
(see Note 18), the Company accelerated the amortization of the balance of all
such loan fees and the related charge is included in the loss on disposition
of discontinued operations. As of December 31, 1998, the unamortized balance
of all such loan fees was $247,772.

  The realizability of goodwill, intangibles and other assets is evaluated
periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to
recover the carrying amount. Such evaluation is based on various analyses,
including undiscounted cash flow and profitability projections that
incorporate, as applicable, the impact on existing company businesses. The
analyses necessarily involve significant management judgment. Any impairment
loss, if indicated, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of
the goodwill or intangible assets exceeds its estimated fair value.

  Long-Lived Assets: The realizability of long-lived assets is evaluated
periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to
recover their carrying amount. Such evaluation is based on various analyses,
including undiscounted cash flow and profitability projections that
incorporate, as applicable, the impact on existing company businesses. The
analyses necessarily involve significant management judgment. Any impairment
loss, if indicated, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

  Sale of Stock by an Equity Method Investee: Prior to the 1997 reorganization
(see Note 16), changes in the KPR Companies' proportionate share of the
underlying equity of RYKA, an equity method investee, which result from the
issuance of additional securities by such investee, were credited directly to
additional paid-in capital. In 1997, $356,534 of such gains were credited to
additional paid-in capital (see Note 17).

  Foreign Currency Translation: In accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, Foreign Currency
Translation, exchange adjustments resulting from foreign

                                      F-7

                     GLOBAL SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

currency transactions generally are recognized currently in income, whereas
adjustments resulting from translations of financial statements are reflected
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The cumulative currency
translation loss as of December 31, 1998 was $47,431. Gains and losses on
foreign currency transactions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and
January 1, 2000 resulted in net foreign currency losses of $194,064 and
$103,955, respectively, and are included in discontinued operations. There
were no foreign currency transactions in the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997.

  Financial Instruments: Gains and losses on foreign currency hedges of
existing assets or liabilities are included in the carrying amounts of those
assets or liabilities and recognized in income as part of the related
transaction. Unrealized gains and losses related to qualifying hedges of firm
commitments are deferred and are recognized in income or as adjustments of
carrying amounts when the hedged transaction occurs.

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable are a
reasonable estimate of their fair values as of December 31, 1998 and
January 1, 2000, based on the short maturity of these instruments.

  Net Revenues: The Company provides various services to its partners,
including the design, development, maintenance and promotion of customized Web
sites. The Company has not derived revenues from the provision of these
services. The Company currently derives virtually all of its revenues from the
sale of product through or to its partners' e-Commerce sporting goods
businesses. Revenues from product sales, net of discounts and allowances for
returns, are recognized upon the shipment of product to customers. Other
sources of revenues, including the sale of gift certificates to the Company's
retail partners' land-based stores, the sale of advertising on the partners'
Web sites and outbound shipping charges, were not significant for the fiscal
year ended January 1, 2000.

  Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses include advertising,
promotional expenses including temporary free shipping, distribution facility
expenses, order processing fees and payroll and related expenses. Also
included in this amount are partner revenue shares which are payments made to
our partners in exchange for the use of their brand assets, the promotion of
their URL's in marketing and communications materials, the implementation of
programs to provide incentives to the in-store customers to shop online and
other programs and services provided to the customers of our partners' Web
sites. Partner revenue shares were not significant in fiscal 1999.

  Promotional Shipping Costs: During the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, as
part of a promotion in connection with the launch of the Company's partners'
Web sites, the Company offered free shipping on certain orders. The expense
related to this temporary promotion for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000
was $566,091 and has been included in selling and marketing expense.

  Advertising: The Company expenses the cost of advertising, which includes
media, agency and production expenses, in accordance with the AICPA Accounting
Standards Executive Committee's Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-7, Reporting
on Advertising Costs. Advertising production costs are expensed the first time
the advertisement is run. Media (television, radio and print) placement costs
are expensed in the month the advertising appears. Agency fees are expensed as
incurred. Advertising expense was $2,471,731 for the fiscal year ended January
1, 2000. Advertising expense of discontinued operations was $431,753 and
$1,774,753 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1998,
respectively.

  Product Development: Product development expenses consist primarily of
expenses associated with content development; developing and operating the
partners' Web sites; payroll and related expenses for the engineering,
production, creative and management information systems departments; and
depreciation expense related to capitalized hardware and software.

                     GLOBAL SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


  Stock-Based Compensation: SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record
compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value.
The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation
using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees is
measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's
stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire
the stock. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-
employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other
Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services.

  Income Taxes: Prior to December 15, 1997, the KPR Companies (see Note 16)
had elected to be taxed as S Corporations under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code and various state income tax regulations. As such, current
taxable income had been included on the income tax returns of the then sole
shareholder for federal and state income tax purposes and no provision had
been made for federal income taxes. On December 15, 1997, the KPR Companies
effected a reorganization with RYKA Inc. As a result of the reorganization,
the KPR Companies' S election was terminated. The Company, now renamed Global
Sports, Inc., is considered a C corporation and is subject to federal and
state income taxes. As such, taxes on income are provided based upon SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the
financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result
in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax asset
and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable
to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 New Accounting Pronouncements

  Computer Costs: In March 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive
Committee issued SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. 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. 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.

  The Company will be required to adopt EITF Issue No. 00-2, "Accounting for
Web Site Development Costs," no later than July 1, 2000. This EITF consensus
sets forth capitalization and expense requirements for web site development
costs. Management has not yet assessed what impact, if any, the EITF consensus
will have on the Company's future earnings or financial position.

  Start-Up Costs: In April 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive
Committee issued SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities. 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.

  Derivative Instruments: SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133) 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.

NOTE 4--CAPITAL LEASE

  In September 1994, the Company entered into a fifteen-year capital lease
with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for its former corporate
headquarters and warehouse space. The rental amount is subject to annual
increases based on the Consumer Price Index and is currently $351,396 per
annum. The Company pays all insurance and maintenance relating to the leased
property. The mortgages on the leased property are collateralized by
guarantees of a subsidiary of the Company and have an aggregate outstanding
principal balance of $1,525,169 and $1,456,101 as of December 31, 1998 and
January 1, 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 1998 and January 1, 2000,
the Company's net investment in this capital lease was $2,007,035, and
$1,801,884, respectively, which were included in property and equipment.
Interest recorded on this capital lease for the fiscal years ended December
31, 1997, December 31, 1998 and January 1, 2000 was $242,120, $234,345,
$223,430, respectively.

  Future minimum lease payments under this capital lease as of January 1,
2000, together with the present value of those future minimum lease payments,

  In November 1999, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters to a
Company-owned facility and is currently negotiating the termination of the
lease for its former corporate headquarters. Management expects that this
lease termination will not have a material effect on future results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.

NOTE 5--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 Preferred Stock

  The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $.01 par value. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more
series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the
Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include
voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters),
preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights
shares.

  In connection with the acquisition of the Gen-X Companies on May 12, 1998,
the Company issued 10,000 shares of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.
The redemption price of these preferred shares is contingent on certain sales
and gross profit targets, ranging from a minimum of $.01 per share to a
maximum of $50.00 per share, and are redeemable over a five year period.
During the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, 2,000 shares were redeemed for
$100,000 (see Note 18).

 Common Stock

  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.

  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 certain affiliates of
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, reduced by
transaction costs of $183,447 and accrued interest of $89,225 and principal
related to an interim loan from SOFTBANK. 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
pursuant to which SOFTBANK loaned the Company $15,000,000 at an interest rate
of 4.98% per annum until closing. At the July 23, 1999 closing, this loan
amount was converted into shares of the Company's common stock.

  On April 21, 1997, RYKA sold 125,000 shares of its common stock for $750,000
to certain private investors. The proceeds from this sale were used to repay
$385,000 of a subordinated note payable to the KPR Companies from RYKA and to
enable the Company to open $810,000 in letter of credit agreements for the
benefit of KPR.

  In connection with the investment in RYKA Inc. in 1995, MR Acquisitions,
L.L.C. ("MR Acquisitions"), a company wholly-owned by the Company's Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, was granted contingent warrants to purchase
455,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 1997, MR Acquisitions had
exercised warrants to purchase 361,587 of the 455,000 shares of RYKA common
stock for which it paid an aggregate exercise price of $72,317. These 361,587
shares represent the full number of warrants that MR Acquisitions was entitled
to exercise under the terms of the warrants. MR Acquisitions was not entitled
to exercise the remaining warrants for 93,413 shares because certain
contingencies were not fully satisfied.

NOTE 6--STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

  As part of the 1997 reorganization (see Note 16), on December 15, 1997 the
Company assumed eight separate stock option plans (the "Plans"). Under the
terms of the 1987 Stock Option Plan, the 1988 Stock Option Plan, the 1990
Stock Option Plan, the 1992 Stock Option Plan, the 1993 Stock Option Plan, the
1995 Stock Option Plan, the 1995 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan and
the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended), the Company may grant qualified
and nonqualified options and warrants to purchase up to 31,321;

17,500; 37,500; 43,750; 45,000; 75,000; 12,500 and 3,000,000 shares of common
stock, respectively, to employees, directors and consultants of the Company.
The options and warrants vest at various times over periods ranging up to five
years. The options and warrants, if not exercised, expire up to ten years
after the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights ("SAR's") may be granted
under the Plans either alone or in tandem with stock options. Generally,
recipients of SAR's are entitled to receive, upon exercise, cash or shares of
common stock (valued at the then fair market value of the Company's common
stock) equal to such fair market value on the date of exercise minus such fair
market value on the date of grant of the shares subject to the SAR, although
certain other measurements also may be used. A SAR granted in tandem with a
stock option is exercisable only if and to the extent that the option is
exercised. No SAR's have been granted to date under the Plans.

  Pursuant to option grant letters issued by RYKA prior to the 1997
reorganization (see Note 16), but not pursuant to any formal plan ("Non-Plan
Grants"), the Company assumed options issued to certain individuals to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock at prices which approximated
fair market value at the date of grant. The options vest at various times over
periods ranging up to five years and, if not exercised, expire up to ten years
after the date of grant.

years ended December 31, 1997, December 31, 1998 and January 1, 2000:

  During the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, the Company granted to
retailers, consultants and employees options, warrants and restricted stock
awards to purchase an aggregate of 1,641,227 shares (1,105,741 shares relating
to employees and 535,486 shares relating to retailers and consultants) of the
Company's common stock at prices ranging from $0.01 to $24.69 per share. The
value of options, warrants and restricted stock granted during 1999 amounted
to $5,341,195 ($406,069 relating to employees and $4,935,126 relating to
retailers and consultants) of which the Company reflected $3,770,778 as
expense in the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000. The balance will be
recognized as services are provided over terms ranging from four to five
years. Of the amount recognized as expense during the fiscal year ended
January 1, 2000, $2,654,834 is included in continuing operations ($217,476
relating to employees and $2,437,358 relating to retailers and consultants)
and $1,115,945 is included in discontinued operations.

  During the latter part of the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, the Company
issued options to purchase 123,500 shares of the Company's common stock with a
fair market value at the dates of grant amounting to $1,579,495 to non-
employees which are included in the options and warrants described above.
Because these warrants require certain counterparty performance conditions,
they are subject to variable plan accounting. The Company is recording
compensation expense over the five-year term of the warrants as required by
EITF No. 98-16 and recognized $66,170 as compensation expense for the fiscal
year ended January 1, 2000. The amount of compensation expense recognized in
future years is subject to adjustment based upon changes in the price of the
Company's common stock.

  In connection with the disposition of its historical businesses during the
fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, the Company accelerated the vesting of
415,441 options previously granted to employees of the discontinued operations
as an inducement to remain with the businesses for a period of ninety days
following their sale. For accounting purposes, the Company considers this
action a cancellation of a previous award and the grant of a new award. Since
the grantees will not be employees of the Company when the options are vested,
the Company valued the awards in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
123 and charged the related expense to discontinued operations for the fiscal
year ended January 1, 2000. As these awards require counterparty performance
conditions, they are subject to variable plan accounting and the ultimate cost
to be recognized for these awards is subject to adjustment based upon changes
in both the number of employees and the price of the Company's common stock
through the ninetieth day after the businesses are sold.

  Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the Company's tax
attributes in future income tax returns, the Company has placed a valuation
allowance against its otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets. As of

approximately $54,759,299 which expire in the years 2002 through 2018. The use
of certain net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to annual
limitations based on ownership changes of the Company's stock, as defined by
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Outstanding common stock
options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted
earnings (losses) per share because their effect would be antidilutive.

outstanding shares of capital stock of RYKA, (iii) a subsidiary of the Company
merged with and into KPR, with KPR surviving the merger as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, (iv) the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Apex and MR Management, and (v) the
Company issued to Mr. Rubin an aggregate of 8,169,086 of its common stock in
exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
KPR Companies.

  Immediately after the Reorganization, Mr. Rubin, the former sole shareholder
of the KPR Companies, then owned approximately 78% of the outstanding voting
power of the Company. Accordingly, the Reorganization was accounted for as a
reverse purchase under generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to
which the KPR Companies were considered to be the acquiring entity and the
Company was the acquired entity for accounting purposes, even though the
Company was the surviving legal entity. Accordingly, references to the
Company's financial statements refer to the financial statements of the KPR
Companies prior to the Reorganization and to the financial statements of the
KPR Companies, including RYKA, Inc., after the Reorganization.

</TABLE>

  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, RYKA issued for cash 125,000
shares of common stock for $6.00 per share, which was in excess of the
Company's per share carrying amount. Also during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997, MR Acquisitions exercised its warrants to purchase an
additional 361,587 RYKA shares. The Company accounted for these transactions
as an increase in both its investment and additional paid-in capital. As of
December 14, 1997, just prior to the Reorganization (See Note 16), the Company
had a 33% equity interest in the net assets of RYKA.

NOTE 18--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 financial

statements as discontinued operations. The accompanying financial statements
have been reclassified to reflect this presentation.

  On September 24, 1999, the Company and a management group led by James J.
Salter and Kenneth J. Finkelstein entered into an acquisition agreement
providing for the sale of the Company's Off-Price and Action Sports division,
including 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. (collectively, the "Gen-X Companies"). On March 13, 2000, the acquisition
agreement was amended to, inter alia, (i) extend the date after which either
party could terminate the acquisition agreement, (ii) provide for a larger
portion of the purchase price to be paid in cash instead of a combination of
cash and promissory notes, (iii) reduce the purchase price as a result of more
of the purchase price being paid in cash, (iv) provide the purchaser with a
breakup fee of $1,500,000, if the Company terminated the agreement under
certain circumstances, and (v) to accelerate the vesting of options to
purchase an aggregate of 281,930 shares of Global Common Stock held by certain
employees of Global. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, as
amended, the aggregate purchase price for the Off-Price and Action Sports
division is approximately $17,200,000, consisting of a cash payment of
$6,000,000 deposited in an escrow account by the purchaser on March 13, 2000,
a cash payment at closing of $7,200,000 and assumption of certain notes
payable by Global in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$4,000,000. For fiscal 1999, the Company recognized a loss of $5.2 million
related to the disposition of this division.

  On December 29, 1999, Global sold substantially all of the assets of its
Branded division (other than the accounts receivable which totaled
approximately $6,600,000 as of December 29, 1999) to American Sporting Goods
Corporation in exchange for a cash payment of $10,447,409. The Company
recognized a loss of $12,102,841 on the sale of the Branded division,
including operating losses of $5,289,344 subsequent to the measurement date of
April 20, 1999.

  Upon initial adoption of the plan to sell these businesses, management
expected to recognize a gain upon the disposal of its historical businesses.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, management revised its estimates and
recorded a loss on disposal of $5,632,158. During the quarter ended January 1,
2000, when the Company consummated the sale of its Branded division, the
proceeds from the sale were substantially lower than formerly anticipated. As
a result of this transaction and the renegotiation of the sales price for the
Off-Price and Action Sports division, management made further revisions to its
estimates and recognized additional losses on disposal of $11,704,521 during
the quarter ended January 1, 2000.

  Net sales of discontinued operations for the fiscal years ended December 31,
1997, December 31, 1998 and January 1, 2000 were $60,671,407, $131,434,971 and
$112,823,357, respectively. For the period subsequent to April 20, 1999, the
measurement date, discontinued operations incurred net operating losses of
$7,575,861, of which $5,289,344 was attributable to the Branded division and
$2,286,517 was attributable to the Off-Price and Action Sports division. The
income tax provision for discontinued operations arose as a result of the
taxable income of a foreign subsidiary as well as a tax provision related to
gains on the disposal of certain intangibles owned by a U.S. subsidiary.

 Acquisition of Discontinued Operations

  Prior to its decision to focus exclusively on its e-commerce business, the
Company acquired Gen-X Holdings Inc. and Gen-X Equipment Inc. on May 12, 1998.
The Gen-X Companies were privately-held companies based in Toronto, Ontario
specializing in selling off-price sporting goods and winter sports equipment
(including ski and snowboard equipment), in-line skates, sunglasses,
skateboards and specialty footwear. In consideration for the stock of the Gen-
X Companies, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock and
contingent consideration in the form of non-interest bearing notes and 10,000
shares of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock in the aggregate amount of
$5,000,000. The notes are payable and shares are redeemable at an aggregate of
$1,000,000 per year over a five-year period upon achieving certain sales and
gross profit targets. The total purchase price, including acquisition expenses
of approximately $330,000 but excluding the contingent consideration described
above ($1,000,000 of which was paid in May of 1999), was $9,279,645. This
purchase price was based on the 5-day average market price of the 1,500,000
shares discounted by 10% to reflect restrictions on the transferability of
these shares.

  The following table details the allocation of the total consideration:

  During the one-year period ended April 30, 1999, the Gen-X Companies
achieved the first of their sales and gross profit targets, and accordingly,
in May 1999, the Company redeemed 2,000 shares of the mandatorily redeemable
preferred stock for $100,000 and paid $900,000 against the contingent notes
payable, resulting in a corresponding increase to goodwill of $1,000,000.

  Effective July 27, 1998, the Company acquired Lamar Snowboards, Inc.
("Lamar"), a privately-held manufacturer of snowboards, bindings and related
products based in San Diego, California. In consideration for

aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, payable over five years. The fair

  As part of its foreign exchange risk management strategy, the Company uses
forward exchange contracts to minimize currency risk on anticipated inventory
purchases and cash flows from collections of accounts receivable. The terms of
these contracts are typically from one to three months. From time to time
during 1998 and 1999, the Company entered into several forward currency
exchange contracts with one of its main lending banks, accounted for as direct
hedges on certain of its accounts payable exposures in Swiss Francs, German
Marks and British Pounds. All gains and losses from such contracts are
recognized in cost of sales as the related inventories are sold. The Company

other trade accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the large
number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and mitigated in
part by credit insurance. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers' financial condition and generally the Company does not require
collateral.

  For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, December 31, 1998 and January
1, 2000, net sales to key customers each amounting to in excess of 10% of net
sales are as follows:
