                               THE HOCKEY COMPANY
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (In thousands, except share data)

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, CHANGE OF CORPORATE NAME AND PRINCIPLES OF
    CONSOLIDATION

The Hockey Company ("THC" or the "Company") was incorporated in September 1991
and reorganized in April 1997.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of THC and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and
markets a broad range of hockey and hockey related products. The Company
manufactures these products, including hockey uniforms, hockey sticks,
goaltender equipment, protective equipment, hockey, figure and inline skates as
well as street hockey products. These are marketed under the CCM(R), Jofa (R),
Koho (R), Heaton (R), Titan(R) and Canadien(R) brand names, and private label
brands and licensed sports apparel under the CCM(R) and #1 ApparEL tm brand
names. THC sells its products world-wide to a diverse customer base consisting
of mass merchandisers, sporting goods chains, independent retailers and
international distributors. THC manufactures and distributes most of its
products at facilities in North America, Finland and Sweden and sources products
internationally.

B.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements appearing
in this quarterly report have been prepared on a basis consistent with the
annual financial statements of THC and its subsidiaries.

In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets,
Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and
Statements of Cash Flows for the 2001 and 2000 periods, have been included.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles to be included in a full set of financial statements. Results for the
interim periods are not necessarily a basis from which to project results for
the full year due to the seasonality of the Company's business. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

C.  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounts Standards No 133 as of
January 2001, and no significant transition adjustment resulted from its
adoption.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No 141, Business Combinations, and No 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to
have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual
impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase
in net income of $4,400 ($0.61 per share) per year. During 2002, the Company
will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet
determined what the effect of these tests will be on the earnings and financial
position of the Company.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets, effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15,
2001. The new rules retain many of the fundamental recognition and measurement
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of.
The Company will apply the new rules effective January 1, 2002 and does not
expect that Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 144 will have a
significant impact on the earnings and financial position of the Company.

4.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

a)  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

       i) Effective November 19, 1998, two of the Company's U.S.
          subsidiaries, Maska U.S., Inc. and SHC Hockey Inc., entered into a
          credit agreement (the "U.S. Credit Agreement") with the lenders
          referred to therein and with General Electric Capital Corporation, as
          Agent and Lender. Simultaneously, two of the Company's Canadian
          subsidiaries, Sport Maska Inc. and Tropsport Acquisitions Inc.,
          entered into a credit agreement (the "Canadian Credit Agreement") with
          the lenders referred to therein and General Electric Capital Canada
          Inc., as Agent and Lender. The Credit Agreements are collateralized by
          eligible accounts receivable and inventories of the borrowers and are
          further collateralized by a guarantee of the Company and its other
          North American subsidiaries.

          On March 14, 2001, (i) the Second Amendment to the U.S. Credit
          Agreement was entered into by Maska U.S., as borrower, the Credit
          Parties, the U.S. Lenders and General Electric Capital Corporation, as
          Agent and Lender, and (ii) the Second Amendment to the Canadian Credit
          Agreement was entered into by Sport Maska, as borrower, the Credit
          Parties, the Canadian Lenders and General Electric Capital Canada
          Inc., as Agent and Lender. On terms and subject to the conditions of
          each of the Second Amendments, the Credit Agreements were amended to
          reflect the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as hereinafter
          defined). The maximum amount of loans and letters of credit that may
          be outstanding under the two credit agreements is $60,000. Total
          borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreements at September 30,
          2001 and December 31, 2000 were $42,933 and $12,282, respectively
          (excluding outstanding letters of credit). The Credit Agreements were
          for a period of two years with a possible extension of one year by the
          Company.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (In thousands, except share data)

          Borrowings under the U.S. Credit Agreement bear interest at rates of
          either U.S. prime rate plus 0.50%-1.25% or LIBOR plus 1.75%-2.75%
          depending on the borrower's Operating Cash Flow Ratio, as defined in
          the agreement. Borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement bear
          interest at rates of either the Canadian prime rate plus 0.75%-1.50%
          or LIBOR plus 1.75%-2.75% depending on the borrower's Operating Cash
          Flow Ratio, as defined in the agreement. In addition, the borrowers
          are charged a monthly commitment fee at an annual rate of up to 3/8 of
          1% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facilities under the
          credit agreements and certain other fees.

          The Credit Agreements contain customary negative and affirmative
          covenants including those relating to capital expenditures, total
          indebtedness to EBITDA, minimum interest coverage and fixed charges
          coverage ratio.


      ii) Effective March 18, 1999, Jofa AB ("Jofa"), a Swedish subsidiary
          of the Company, entered into a credit agreement with MeritaNordbanken
          in Sweden. The maximum amount of loans and letters of credit that may
          be outstanding under the agreement is SEK 65,000 ($6,325). The
          facility is collateralized by the assets of Jofa, excluding
          intellectual property, bears interest at a rate of STIBOR plus 0.65%
          and is renewable annually. Total borrowings at September 30, 2001 and
          December 31, 2000 were SEK 45,792 ($4,456) and nil, respectively.

          Effective July 14, 1999, KHF Sports Oy ("KHF"), a Finnish subsidiary
          of the Company, entered into a credit agreement with MeritaNordbanken
          in Finland. The maximum amount of loans and letters of credit that may
          be outstanding under the agreement is FIM 30,000 ($4,602). The
          facility is collateralized by the assets of KHF, bears interest at a
          rate of EURIBOR plus 2.0% and is renewable annually. Total borrowings
          as at September 2001 and December 31, 2000 were nil.


b) LONG-TERM DEBT

SECURED LOANS

On November 19,1998, in connection with its acquisition of Sports Holdings
Corp., the Company and Sport Maska Inc. entered into a Secured Loan Agreement
with the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec ("Caisse") to borrow a total of
Canadian $135,800. The loan was for a period of two years, renewable on November
19, 2000 at the Company's option.

On March 14, 2001, an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was entered into by
the Company and Sport Maska, as borrowers, Caisse, as Agent and Lender, and
Montreal Trust Company, as Paying Agent (the "Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement"). On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, Facility 1 of the Caisse Loan, which is a facility in
the maximum amount of Canadian $90,000, was extended to June 30, 2004, and
Facility 2 of the Caisse Loan, which is a facility in the maximum amount of
Canadian $45,800, was extended to October 31, 2002. A repayment of Facility 1 in
the minimum amount of Canadian $5,000 is due on January 31, 2004. Facility 1 and
Facility 2 have been fully utilized and no new advances are expected to be made
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Each facility bears interest
equal to the Canadian Banker's Acceptance Rate plus 6%, and Facility 2 bears
additional interest of 3.5% which is to be capitalized and repaid on Facility 2
maturity.

The loan is collateralized by all of the tangible and intangible assets of the
Company subject to the prior ranking claims on accounts receivable and
inventories by the lenders under the Company's revolving credit facilities.

The loan contains customary negative and affirmative covenants including those
relating to capital expenditures, total indebtedness to EBITDA and minimum
interest coverage.

In May 2000, Jofa AB, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement
with MeritaNordBanken Sweden to borrow SEK 10,000 ($1,100). The loan is for four
years with annual principal repayments of SEK 2,500 ($275). The loan is secured
by a chattel mortgage on the assets of the subsidiary and bears an interest rate
of STIBOR plus 1.25%.

5. COMMON STOCK, WARRANTS AND PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 6,500,549
are issued and outstanding.

                               THE HOCKEY COMPANY
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (In thousands, except share data)

Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2001, between the
Company and Caisse, the Company issued a warrant to Caisse to purchase 539,974
shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company, representing
approximately 7.5% of the outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis, at
an exercise price of $.01 per share. The number of shares issuable upon exercise
of the warrants is subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Warrant
Agreement. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $3,450 and has
been recorded in shareholders' equity as stock purchase warrants. In addition,
the Company also issued warrants to Caisse to acquire 993,408 shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, which are only exercisable by Caisse if a
minimum EBITDA required is not met and if Facility 2 is not repaid in cash on
October 31, 2002.

On November 19, 1998, the Company issued 100,000 shares of 13% Pay-In-Kind
redeemable, $0.01 par value per share, cumulative preferred stock together with
warrants to purchase 159,127 common shares of the Company at a purchase price of
$0.01 per share, for cash consideration of $12,500 (par value). The fair value
of the warrants was determined to be $1,665 and has been recorded in
Stockholder's Equity as common stock purchase warrants. The balance of the
proceeds, $10,835, has been recorded as 13% Pay-In-Kind preferred stock. The
difference between the redemption value of the preferred stock and the recorded
amount is being accreted on a straight-line basis over the seven-year period
ending November 19, 2005, by a charge to retained earnings. Dividends, which are
payable semi-annually from November 19, 1998, may be paid in cash or in shares
of the 13% Pay-In-Kind preferred stock, at the Company's option. The preferred
stock is non-voting. If the Company fails to redeem the preferred stock on or
before November 19, 2005 and for a sixty day period or more after being notified
of its failure to redeem the preferred stock, then the preferred stockholders,
as a class of stockholders, have the option to elect one director to the
Company's Board of Directors with the provision that the preferred stockholders
are to elect 28% of the Company's directors. At September 30, 2001 unpaid
dividends totalled $5,253.

The preferred stock is redeemable, at any time after November 19, 2000, in whole
or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price (together with
all accumulated and unpaid dividends) as follows:

Year                                 Percentage of par value
2001                                        104.333%
2002                                        102.166%
2003 and thereafter                         100.000%

The preferred stock must be redeemed by the Company at the earlier of a change
of control or by November 19, 2005.

On September 26, 2001 the Company authorized the grant of employee stock options
to purchase 440,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.50 per
share, of which 255,000 shares are allocated to executive officers. In addition,
the Company has approved the reduction of the exercise price per share of stock
options held by certain employees relating to 160,000 shares at prices of $10.00
to $14.00 to $8.50, of which 150,000 shares are subject to options held by
executive officers.

6. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Effective January 24, 2001, the Company embarked on a plan to rationalize its
operations. This rationalization involved the elimination of certain
redundancies, both in terms of personnel and operations as well as the
consolidation of facilities including the closure of its Mount Forest, Ontario
plant. Accordingly, the Company has set up reserves totaling $4,002.

The Company has estimated that the restructuring charges would total $4,002 as
follows:

An amount of $2,986 has been accrued for severance packages in Canada and the
U.S., including the closure of the Mount Forest, Ontario plant. To date $2,212
has been spent.

An amount of $1,016 has been accrued to cover the cost of facility
consolidations. To date $736 has been spent.

</TABLE>


(a) Common equivalent shares include warrants and stock options issuable for
    little or no cash consideration.

(b) Other warrants and stock options are considered in diluted earning per share
    when dilutive. The Company used the average book value of its common stock
    in calculating the common equivalent shares as required by statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards no. 128 due to the fact that Company's stock
    had extremely limited trading volume during the period.

(c) Options to purchase 1,322,222 shares of common stock and warrants to
    purchase 299,451 shares of common stock were outstanding during 2001
    (982,222 and 299,451 in 2000 respectively) but were not included in the
    computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise price
    was greater than the average book value of the common stock.

8.  CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION

A.  ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION

    In 1992, T. Copeland & Sons, Inc. (" Copeland "), the owner of a property
    adjacent to Maska's former manufacturing and distribution facility in
    Bradford, Vermont, filed an action in Vermont Superior Court alleging that
    its property had been contaminated as a result of the Company's
    manufacturing activities and seeking compensatory and punitive damages under
    the Vermont Groundwater Protection Law and various common law theories. In
    June 1995, Maska settled this action for $1,000 cash, paid in July 1995, and
    a $6,000 promissory note. Subsequently, Copeland received a distribution of
    shares of THC's Common Stock to satisfy the note. Copeland asserted the
    right to recover from the Company as a secured claim, the difference between
    the aggregate value of the Common Stock and the amount of the promissory
    note. In October 1998, Copeland's claim in the Bankruptcy Court to recover
    this difference was disallowed without an evidentiary hearing. Copeland
    filed an appeal of this decision. On May 1, 2000, the District Court
    overruled the Bankruptcy Court's decision and remanded the claim to the
    Bankruptcy Court for an evidentiary hearing. In February 2001, the Company
    reached an agreement with Copeland and settled this claim for $1,000 in
    cash.

                        (In thousands, except share data)

B.  PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION

    The Company is unaware of any personal injury claims for which there is
    inadequate insurance coverage.


C.  OTHER LITIGATION

    On October 16, 1997 and October 20, 1997, ZMD Sports Investments Inc. and
    2938201 Canada Inc., landlords of the Company's properties located in St.
    Jean, Quebec and St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, respectively brought motions against
    the Company which would require the Company to undertake certain repairs to
    the properties for an estimated $630. The Company believes these motions to
    be without merit.

    Other than certain legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of
    business, which we believe will not have a material adverse effect, either
    individually or collectively, on the financial position, results of
    operations or cash flows, there is no other litigation pending or threatened
    against us.

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

ITEM 2.

INTRODUCTION


     The Hockey Company ("THC" or the "Company") was incorporated in September
1991 and reorganized in April 1997.

     The operations of The Hockey Company and its subsidiaries include the
design, development, manufacturing and marketing of hockey and hockey related
products, including hockey uniforms, hockey sticks, protective equipment,
hockey, figure and inline skates and street hockey products, marketed under the
CCM(R), Jofa (R), Koho (R), Heaton (R), Titan(R) and Canadien (R) brand names,
and private label brands and licensed hockey apparel under the CCM(R), and #1
Apparel TM names. The Company sells its products worldwide to a diverse customer
base consisting of mass merchandisers, sporting goods chains, independent
retailers and international distributors. The Company manufactures and
distributes most of its products at facilities in North America, Finland and
Sweden and sources products internationally.

     The Company's business is seasonal. The seasonality of the Company's
business affects net sales and borrowings under the Company's credit agreements.
Traditional quarterly fluctuations in the Company's business may vary in the
future depending upon, among other things, changes in order cycles and product
mix.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

     The following discussion provides an assessment of the Company's results of
continuing operations, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources,
and should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. (All
references to "Note(s)" refer to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements.)

     EBITDA is a measure of the cash generated from operations and has been
included in the selected income statement highlights because management believes
that it would be a useful indicator for readers. EBITDA is defined as the
earnings (net income) before interest, income and capital taxes, depreciation
and amortization, and unusual items. EBITDA is not a measure of performance or
financial condition under generally accepted accounting principles, but is
presented because it is a widely accepted indicator of a company's ability to
source and incur debt. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net
income as an indicator of the company's operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

2001 COMPARED TO 2000

     Apparel net sales increased 14.7% to $37.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, as compared to $32.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, apparel net
sales were $16.3 million, representing a 2.8% increase compared to net sales in
the three months ended September 30, 2000 of $15.8 million. The increase was
attributable primarily to stronger demand resulting from the Company's exclusive
status under its license agreement with NHL Enterprises, LP, the marketing
affiliate of the NHL.

     Equipment net sales decreased 7.8% to $105.3 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $114.2 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, equipment net
sales were $49.6 million, representing a 4.9% decrease compared to net sales in
the three months ended September 30, 2000 of $52.2 million. The decrease was
attributable primarily to unfavourable exchange rates in 2001 compared to last
year and weaker sales of ice skates, protective equipment and sticks.

     Gross profit on apparel sales before restructuring charges for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 was $17.0 million compared to $12.9 million in
2000, an increase of 32.0%. Gross profit on apparel sales before restructuring
charges for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $7.6 million compared
to $6.5 million in 2000, an increase of 17.8%.

                               THE HOCKEY COMPANY
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Measured as a percentage of apparel net sales, gross profit margins before
restructuring charges increased to 45.2% in the first nine months of 2001 from
39.3% in the same period in 2000.

     Gross profit on equipment sales for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 was $42.0 million compared to $47.4 million in 2000, a decrease of 11.3%.
Gross profit on equipment sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001
was $19.8 million compared to $21.1 million in 2000, a decrease of 6.2%.
Measured as a percentage of equipment net sales, gross profit margins decreased
to 39.9% in the first nine months of 2001 from 41.5% in the same period in 2000.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, selling, general and
administrative expenses before restructuring charges decreased 8.5% to $44.3
million compared to $48.4 million in the first nine months of 2000. In the three
months ended September 30, 2001, these expenses decreased 11.5% to $15.4 million
from $17.5 million in 2000. Measured as a percentage of net sales, in the first
nine months of the year the ratio also decreased to 31.0% in 2001 from 32.9% in
2000. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative expenses is a
result of first quarter restructuring activities (see Restructuring reserves),
offset by increased NHL commitments.

     The amortization of excess reorganization value and goodwill decreased
slightly from $3.4 million in the first nine months of 2000 to $3.3 million in
the first nine months of 2001. The operating income before restructuring charges
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $11.5 million, compared to $8.5
million for the nine months ending September 30, 2000.

     Other expense consists primarily of amortization of deferred financing
costs.

     Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA),
which is a measure of cash generated from operations, was $18.8 million for the
nine months ($13.0 million for the three months) ended September 30, 2001
compared to $16.6 million for the nine months ($11.7 million for the three
months) ended September 30, 2000.

     Interest expense of $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 increased by $0.4 million from the same period for the prior year ($9.9
million). The increase is mainly attributable to extension fees on short-term
borrowings the Company incurred in the first quarter of the year. For the three
months ended September 30, 2001 interest expense decreased to $3.6 million
compared to $3.8 million for the same period of the prior year.

     As a result of a business restructuring at the beginning of the year, the
Company incurred costs related to severance and facility closures (restructuring
charges). - see Restructuring reserves.

     The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was
$7.6 million compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company had a net
income of $3.9 million compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Management expects to finance the Company's working capital and capital
expenditure requirements through cash generated by its operations and through
its new credit facilities established on November 19, 1998 and amended and
restated on March 14, 2001.

     Effective November 19, 1998, two of the Company's subsidiaries, Maska U.S,
Inc. and SHC Hockey Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the "U.S. Credit
Agreement") with the lenders referred to therein and with General Electric
Capital Corporation, as Agent and Lender. Simultaneously, two of the Company's
Canadian subsidiaries, Sport Maska Inc. and Tropsport Acquisitions Inc., entered
into a credit agreement (the " Canadian Credit Agreement") with the lenders
referred to therein and General Electric Capital Canada Inc. as Agent and
Lender. The maximum amount of loans and letters of credit that may be
outstanding under the two credit agreements (collectively, the "Credit
Agreements") is $60.0 million.

     The Credit Agreements were for a period of two years with a possible
extension of one year by the Company, and were amended and restated on March 14,
2001. Total borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreements were $42.9
million on September 30, 2001 (excluding $5.5 million of letters of credit
outstanding). Total borrowings as at December 31, 2000 under the Credit
Agreements were $12.3 million (excluding $0.9 million of letters of credit
outstanding).

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

     In addition, on March 14, 2001, an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
was entered into by the Company and Sport Maska, as borrowers, Caisse de depot
et placement du Quebec ("Caisse"), as Agent and Lender, and Montreal Trust
Company, as Paying Agent (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement "). On the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, Facility 1 of the Caisse Loan, which is a facility in the maximum
amount of Canadian $90 million, was extended to June 30, 2004, and Facility 2 of
the Caisse Loan, which is a facility in the maximum amount of Canadian $45.8
million, was extended to October 31, 2002. A repayment of Facility 1 in the
minimum amount of Canadian $5 million is due on January 31, 2004. Facility 1 and
Facility 2 have been fully utilized and no new advances are expected to be made
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

     The Company's financing requirements for long-term growth, future capital
expenditures and debt service are expected to be met through its operations as
well as cash borrowed under its Credit Agreements. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, the Company's operations used $33.2 million of cash from its
operations as compared to $24.8 million of cash used in the same nine months of
2000.

     Investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included $1.0 million and $2.2 million,
respectively, of purchases of fixed assets.

     During the nine months period ended September 30, 2001, financing
activities provided $36.6 million from borrowings under the Company's New Credit
Agreements and provided $26.1 million for the same period last year.

     The Company follows the customary practice in the sporting goods industry
of offering extended payment terms to credit-worthy customers on qualified
orders. The Company's working capital requirements generally peak in the third
and fourth quarters as it builds inventory and makes shipments under these
extended payment terms.

EURO CONVERSION

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union
established fixed conversion rates between their existing sovereign currencies
and the Euro. The participating countries agreed to adopt the Euro as their
common legal currency on that date. Fixed conversion rates between these
participating countries' existing currencies (the legacy currencies) and the
Euro were established as of that date. The legacy currencies are scheduled to
remain legal tender as denominations of the Euro until at least January 1, 2002
(but not later than July 1, 2002.) During this transition period, parties may
settle transactions using either the Euro or a participating country's legacy
currency.

Management currently believes that the introduction of the Euro will not have a
material impact related to pricing or foreign currency exposures. Finland is one
of the countries adopting the Euro, however Sweden has not yet chosen to adopt
the new currency. The Finnish subsidiaries' base currency is now the Euro,
Sweden has yet to decide on adopting the new currency. The Company foresees no
adverse impact resulting from the Euro conversion, including competitive
implications related to pricing and foreign currency considerations. However,
uncertainty exists as to the effects the Euro will have on the marketplace.

RESTRUCTURING RESERVES

Effective  January 24, 2001, the Company  embarked on a plan to rationalize  its
operations.   This   rationalization   involved  the   elimination   of  certain
redundancies,  both  in  terms  of  personnel  and  operations  as  well  as the
consolidation of facilities  including the closure of its Mount Forest,  Ontario
plant. Accordingly, the Company has set up reserves totaling $4.0 million.

The Company has estimated that the restructuring charges would total $4.0
million as follows:

An amount of $3.0 million has been accrued for severance packages in Canada and
the U.S., including the closure of the Mount Forest, Ontario plant. To date $2.2
million has been spent.

An amount of $1.0 million has been accrued to cover the cost of facility
consolidations. To date $0.7 million has been spent.
