         The following table sets forth the number of options to purchase shares
of common stock at the respective ranges of exercise prices that were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share. For the three
months ended January 1, 2000, the options' exercise prices were in excess of the
average market price of the Company's common stock, and therefore the effect was
antidilutive. For the remaining periods indicated, inclusion of such options
would result in an antidilutive effect due to the net loss incurred by the
Company.

         The warrant to purchase 393,916 shares of the Company's common stock
granted in June 2000 to Ableco Finance LLC, one of the Company's lenders, was
not included in the computation of the diluted loss per share for the three and
six months ended December 30, 2000 due to the net loss incurred by the Company.

</TABLE>


         The Company established a valuation allowance as of December 30, 2000
for substantially all of the excess of deferred tax assets over deferred tax
liabilities existent at that date. Although the Company ultimately expects to
realize these tax benefits in future years, SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, requires the establishment of a valuation allowance when there is
uncertainty as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. The deferred tax
assets will be recognized in future periods to the extent that the Company
reasonably expects such assets to be realized. The Company evaluates the
realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. If the Company
determines a portion or all of the valuation allowance to be unnecessary, the
related tax benefits will reduce the future income tax provision anticipated at
that time.

         The remaining deferred tax liability shown above of $23,000 pertains to
Cannondale Europe. This amount is included within "Warranty and other accrued
expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 30, 2000.

7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its
amendments SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, in June 1999 and June 2000,
respectively. The Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on
the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending
on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either
offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until
the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a
derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended, effective July 2, 2000; the effect
of such adoption was not material to either operating results or financial
position for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.

         The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to purchase
and sell U.S., European, Australian, Canadian and Japanese currencies to reduce
exposures to foreign currency risks. The Company enters into forward foreign
currency contracts for a significant portion of its current and net balance
sheet exposures, principally relating to trade receivables and payables
denominated in foreign currencies, and firm sale and purchase commitments. The
Company also uses forward foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to
mitigate foreign currency risks related to the settlements of forecasted sales
and purchase transactions. The forward exchange contracts generally have
maturities that do not exceed 12 months and require the Company to exchange at
maturity various currencies for U.S. dollars and Euros at rates agreed to at the
inception of the contracts.

         The carrying amount of derivatives at fair value as of December 30,
2000 was $(710,000) and is included within "Warranty and other accrued expenses"
on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net expense relating
to amortization of premiums and discounts of cash flow hedges was not material
to either operating results or financial position for the three- and six-month
periods ended December 30, 2000 and is included in other income (expense) on the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The total net accumulated
derivative losses of $391,000 included in the accumulated other comprehensive
loss at December 30, 2000 are expected to be reclassified into earnings within
the next 12 months upon settlement of the related hedged item (accounts
receivable or sale of inventory to a third party). As of December 30, 2000 the
maximum period of time the Company was hedging its exposure to the variability
in future cash flows for forecasted transactions was six months.

8. SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS

         Prior year net sales and selling, general and administrative expenses
have been restated pursuant to EITF Issue 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs. In accordance with such, all shipping and handling
billings to customers have been included in net sales, and freight costs
incurred for product shipments have been included in selling, general and
administrative expenses. Previously, the Company offset shipping and handling
charges billed to customers and the related freight costs within selling,
general and administrative expenses. For the quarterly periods ended December
30, 2000 and January 1, 2000, shipping and handling billings of approximately
$321,000 and $462,000, respectively, have been included in net sales, and
freight costs of approximately $584,000 and $894,000, respectively, have been
included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the six months
ended December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000, shipping and handling billings of
approximately $813,000 and $926,000, respectively, have been included in net
sales, and freight costs of approximately $1,330,000 and $1,685,000,
respectively, have been included in selling, general and administrative
expenses.

9. LONG-TERM DEBT

         During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company paid down $12.0
million in long-term debt and recorded an extraordinary loss of $552,000
relating to the write-off of certain deferred financing costs. The pay-down
terminated the warrant to purchase 393,916 shares of the Company's common stock
granted in June 2000 to Ableco Finance LLC, one of the Company's lenders.


         At December 30, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with the
financial covenants of its borrowing facilities. Accordingly, long-term debt has
been reclassified to a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of December 30, 2000. The lenders have waived the covenant non
compliance, and the Company is currently negotiating amendments to its current
financing agreements with its lenders.

10. STOCK OPTION PLAN

         Effective December 11, 2000, the Company adopted a new stock option
plan (the "2000 plan") pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell a total
of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Options may
be granted under the plan to employees who do not serve as both officers and
directors of the Company. The 2000 plan expires on December 11, 2010.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

         During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, Joseph Montgomery paid $1.4
million to the Company as full payment of all deferred interest and accrued
interest thereon. During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, Mr. Montgomery
repaid his entire notes payable obligation to the Company totaling $12.0 million
plus all accrued interest thereon. The proceeds of such repayment were used to
retire a portion of the Company's long-term debt, as discussed above in Note 9.


12. INTERCOMPANY DIVIDEND

         During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company received a
dividend from Cannondale Europe, a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, in the
amount of $1,073,000. The Company has provided for additional U.S. federal
income taxes representing the net tax impact of the dividend after the effect of
foreign tax credit adjustments, which offset the majority of the U.S. federal
income taxes generated by this dividend. See Note 6 for further discussion
concerning the accounting treatment of these taxes.

13. LITIGATION

         The Company currently and from time to time is involved in product
liability lawsuits and other litigation incidental to the conduct of its
business. The Company is not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in the
opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company;
however, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation there can be no assurance
that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or
financial condition.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net Sales. Net sales decreased to $34.7 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 2001 from $41.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, a
decrease of approximately $6.9 million or 16.6%. Approximately $2.6 million, or
38% of the decrease in net sales, is attributable to an unfavorable foreign
exchange impact primarily resulting from the weakened Euro compared to the U.S.
dollar. Additionally, the severe winter weather and general softening in
consumer purchases caused the bicycle dealers to tighten inventory levels, thus
causing the remainder of the Company's bicycle sales decrease. Shipments of the
Company's MX400 motorcycle resumed in December after being temporarily suspended
while the Company completed testing and implementation of various improved
engine components. Net sales for the second quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000
include shipping and handling billings of approximately $321,000 and $462,000,
respectively, pursuant to EITF Issue 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling
Fees and Costs.

         For the six months ended December 30, 2000, net sales were $71.4
million, a decrease of approximately $6.7 million or 8.6% from the $78.1 million
recorded for the same period last year. Included in the net sales amount for the
first six months of fiscal 2001 is approximately $1.4 million in motorsports
shipments. Approximately $5.4 million, or 81% of the decrease in total net
sales, is attributable to an unfavorable foreign exchange impact primarily
resulting from the weakened Euro compared to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, the
severe winter weather and general softening in consumer purchases caused the
bicycle dealers to tighten inventory levels, thus causing the remainder of the
Company's bicycle sales decrease. Net sales for the six months ended December
30, 2000 and January 1, 2000 include shipping and handling billings of
approximately $813,000 and $926,000, respectively, pursuant to EITF Issue 00-10,
Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit was $10.2 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001, a decrease of 21.1% from the gross profit in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 of $13.0 million. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased to 29.5% compared to 31.1% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease in gross profit dollars and gross
profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the production
start-up costs of the MX400 which were not proportionately offset by revenues.
Bicycle margins increased to 33.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from
31.8% in the prior year primarily as a result of a more favorable product mix;
this margin increase includes the unfavorable foreign exchange impact of
approximately $763,000 primarily resulting from the weakened Euro compared to
the U.S. dollar.

         Gross profit was $20.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001,
a decrease of 14.8% from the gross profit for the first six months of fiscal
2000 of $23.7 million. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the first
six months of fiscal 2001 decreased to 28.3% compared to 30.3% for the first six
months of fiscal 2000. The decrease in gross profit dollars and gross profit as
a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the production start-up
costs of the MX400 which were not proportionately offset by revenues. Bicycle
margins increased to 33.3% for the first six months of fiscal 2001 from 30.9% in
the prior year primarily as a result of a more favorable product mix; this
margin increase includes the unfavorable foreign exchange impact of
approximately $1.6 million primarily resulting from the weakened Euro compared
to the U.S. dollar.

         Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $10.8 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001, a decrease of 9.1% from the $11.8 million
recorded for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. For the first six months of
fiscal 2001, operating expenses decreased 7.8% to $22.2 million from $24.1
million for the same period last year.


                                       12
<PAGE>   15
         Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $8.8 million
for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, from $10.1 million recorded during the
prior-year period. For the first six months of fiscal 2001, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to $18.3 million from $19.9 million during the
prior-year period. Decreased selling, general and administrative expenses during
the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001 resulted from the
continued cost-reduction efforts of the Company and a reduction in those
expenses tied directly to sales volume, coupled with the foreign exchange impact
of the weakened Euro compared to the U.S. dollar. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses represented 25.6% for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 compared to 25.5% in the prior-year period.

         Research and development expenses increased to $2.0 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001, from $1.8 million recorded during the prior-year
period. The increase in research and development expenses during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 primarily reflects the expenses related to the
development of the FX400 ATV. For the first six months of fiscal 2001, research
and development expenses decreased to $3.9 million from $4.2 million recorded
during the prior year due to the reduced activity during the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. The Company invested approximately $1.3 million in research and
development for its motorsports products during the second quarter of fiscal
2001 compared to approximately $1.0 million during the same period last year.
For the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company invested approximately $2.3
million in research and development for its motorsports products compared to
approximately $2.0 million during the prior-year period. As a percentage of net
sales, research and development expenses were 5.5% for the first six months of
fiscal 2001 compared to 5.4% for the first six months of fiscal 2000.

         Other Income (Expense). Interest expense increased to $1.8 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $1.4 million recorded during the
prior-year period. For the first six months of fiscal 2001, interest expense was
$3.6 million compared to $2.4 million recorded for the first six months of
fiscal 2000. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to
higher average debt balances and higher interest rates associated with the
Company's new credit facilities compared to the same periods last year. For the
second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001, other income primarily
consisted of interest income from the loan to Joseph Montgomery coupled with
finance charge income from accounts receivable, offset by foreign exchange
losses. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001, interest
income from the loan to Joseph Montgomery totaled $238,000 and $541,000,
respectively.

         Income Taxes. For the three months ended December 30, 2000, income tax
expense was $7.8 million compared to the tax benefit of $383,000 recorded for
the three months ended January 1, 2000. For the six months ended December 30,
2000, income tax expense was $6.5 million compared to the tax benefit of $1.2
million recorded for the same period last year. The significant increases in tax
expense for the three and six months ended December 30, 2000 relates to the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance established by the Company. Although the
Company ultimately expects to realize its net deferred tax assets in future
years, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, requires the establishment of a valuation allowance when there is
uncertainty as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. See Note 6 in the
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million for the first
six months of fiscal 2001, a decrease of approximately $8.0 million compared to
$11.0 million of net cash used in operating activities for the first six months
of fiscal 2000. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during the
first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to the same period last year was
primarily attributable to lower accounts receivable levels of approximately $3.5
million, the receipt of approximately $1.9 million of accrued interest from
Joseph Montgomery, and an increase in accrued and current liabilities of
approximately $3.0 million.


                                       13
<PAGE>   16
         During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, Mr. Montgomery repaid his
entire notes payable obligation to the Company totaling $12.0 million plus all
accrued interest thereon. The proceeds of such repayment were used to retire a
portion of the Company's long-term debt, as discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Capital expenditures were $2.0 million for the first six months of
fiscal 2001, compared to $2.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000.
Capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 2001 principally
related to tooling used in the production of motorsports products, whereas
capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 2000 related to
computer equipment and manufacturing equipment associated with the production of
both the bicycle and motorsports product lines.

         Net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of
fiscal 2001 was $9.9 million, compared to the $10.2 million of net cash provided
by financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2000. The net cash
used in financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2001 was
primarily due to the early repayment of $12.0 million of long-term debt, as
discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The net
cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2000
primarily reflected the increase in the Company's multi-currency revolving
credit facility in order to finance working capital needs and capital
expenditures. At December 30, 2000, the availability under the Company's
revolving line of credit with the CIT Group/Business Credit Inc. was
approximately $6.5 million.

         At December 30, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with the
financial covenants of its borrowing facilities. Accordingly, long-term debt has
been reclassified to a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of December 30, 2000. The lenders have waived the covenant non
compliance, and the Company is currently negotiating amendments to its current
financing agreements with its lenders.


CERTAIN FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events,
including, but not limited to, the following: statements regarding the timing of
the Company's planned production and shipping of its motorsports products;
statements regarding the Company's capital and current operational investments
to finance the planned growth of the Company; statements regarding the Company's
expected cash needs, sources of cash to fund its planned operating and capital
requirements and its future ability to comply with the terms and conditions of
its present financing facilities. Such statements are based upon the facts
presently known to the Company and assumptions as to important future events,
many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Reference is made to the
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended July 1, 2000 for a description of certain additional risk factors
which may affect the Company's future results.


Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily from
changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, as well as credit risk
concentrations. To address these risks, the Company enters into various hedging
transactions as described below. The Company does not use financial instruments
for trading purposes. For further discussion of the quantitative and qualitative
aspects of market risk, see Part II Item 7A of the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2000.



                                       14
<PAGE>   17
CREDIT RISKS.

         The Company's customer base is composed of specialty bicycle retailers
which are located principally throughout the United States and Europe, and
specialty motorsports dealers which are located throughout the United States.
The Company's net sales are concentrated in the United States and Germany. No
other single country accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales
during the first six months of fiscal 2001. No single customer accounted for
more than 5% of the Company's sales during the first six months of fiscal 2001.
As a result of the seasonality of the Company's business, the payment terms
offered to its bicycle dealers generally range from 30 to 210 days depending on
the time of year and other factors.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISKS.

         The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to purchase
and sell U.S., European, Australian, Canadian and Japanese currencies to reduce
exposures to foreign currency risks. The Company enters into forward foreign
currency contracts for a significant portion of its current and net balance
sheet exposures, principally relating to trade receivables and payables
denominated in foreign currencies, and firm sale and purchase commitments. The
Company also uses forward foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to
mitigate foreign currency risks related to the settlements of forecasted sales
and purchase transactions. The forward exchange contracts generally have
maturities that do not exceed 12 months and require the Company to exchange at
maturity various currencies for U.S. dollars and Euros at rates agreed to at the
inception of the contracts. As of December 30, 2000, the maximum period of time
the Company was hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
forecasted transactions was six months. The carrying amount of derivatives at
fair value as of December 30, 2000 was $(710,000) and is included within
"Warranty and other accrued expenses" on the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
