          Athletic Stores division profit increased by 19.5 percent for the first quarter of 2005 as compared with the corresponding prior-year period of which Footaction contributed to over half the increase. The Champs Sports division profit increase, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, more than offset the decline experienced by the European operations due to the continued difficult European economy. Division profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 7.6 percent in the first quarter of 2005 from 7.5 percent in the corresponding prior-year period. The increase was primarily a result of lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales.

-11-


          Direct-to-Customers division profit increased 9.1 percent for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005, as compared with the corresponding period ended May 1, 2004. Division profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 13.6 percent in the first quarter of 2005 from 12.8 percent in the corresponding prior-year period. The increase in division profit is primarily a result of improved gross margin due to better merchandise purchasing.

          Corporate expense consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses related to the Company’s corporate headquarters, centrally managed departments, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, certain foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and other items.  The increase in corporate expense in the first quarter of 2005 was primarily related to professional fees and employee related costs.
