                      NOTICE REGARDING ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

         The financial statements, supplementary data and financial statement
         schedule included in this Form 10-K/A(2) are incorporated by reference
         into several registration statements we have filed under the Securities
         Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and will be
         incorporated by reference into future registration statements we file
         under the Securities Act. Section 11(a) of the Securities Act provides
         that if any part of a registration statement at the time it becomes
         effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact or an
         omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, any person
         acquiring a security pursuant to such registration statement (unless it
         is proved that at the time of such acquisition such person knew of such
         untruth or omission) may sue, among others, every accountant who has
         consented to be named as having prepared or certified any part of the
         registration statement or as having prepared or certified any report or
         valuation which is used in connection with the registration statement
         with respect to the statement in such registration statement, report or
         valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified by the
         accountant. Arthur Andersen LLP was our principal independent
         accountant until their dismissal on May 9, 2002. Prior to the date of
         this Form 10-K/A(2), the Arthur Andersen partners who reviewed our most
         recent audited financial statements resigned from Arthur Andersen. As a
         result, after reasonable efforts, we have been unable to obtain Arthur
         Andersen's written consent to the inclusion in this Form 10-K/A(2) of
         its audit reports with respect to our financial statements, which means
         that Arthur Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of its audit
         reports in any present or future registration statements into which the
         financial statements, supplementary data and financial statement
         schedule included herein are incorporated by reference. Under these
         circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act permits us to file
         this Form 10-K/A(2), and permits us to incorporate by reference the
         financial statements, supplementary data and financial statement
         schedule included herein into present and future registration
         statements, without the written consent of Arthur Andersen.
         Accordingly, Arthur Andersen will not be liable to you under Section
         11(a) of the Securities Act because it has not consented to being named
         as an expert in this Form 10-K/A(2) or any present or future
         registration statement into which this Form 10-K/A(2) may be
         incorporated by reference.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hibbett Sporting
Goods, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
February 2, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' investment, and cash flows for the fiscal year in the period ended
February 2, 2002. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in
Item 14(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of February 2, 2002, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the fiscal year in the period ended February 2, 2002, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

                  HIBBETT SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                FEBRUARY 2, 2002

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

       Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc. (the "Company") is an operator of full-line
sporting goods retail stores in small to mid-sized markets predominately in the
southeastern United States. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday
closest to January 31 of each year. The consolidated statements of operations
for fiscal years ended February 2, 2002, and January 29, 2000, include 52 weeks
of operations, while the fiscal year ended February 3, 2001, includes 53 weeks
of operations. The Company's merchandise assortment features a core selection of
brand name merchandise emphasizing team and individual sports complemented by a
selection of localized apparel and accessories designed to appeal to a wide
range of customers within each market.

Principles of Consolidation

       The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its accounts
and the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of certain assets
and liabilities and disclosure of certain contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and (2) the reported amounts of certain
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Stock Split

       On January 10, 2002, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 Stock
Split on the Company's Common Stock to holders of record on February 1, 2002.
All share and per share data presented reflect the 3-for-2 stock split.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

       For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

       In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ".
Business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, must be accounted for under
the provisions of these two statements. We must also apply these provisions to
previously recorded business combinations as of January 1, 2002. The principal
provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 are as follows:

                                        8



         .  All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, will be
         accounted for using the "purchase" method, under which the identifiable
         assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their
         respective fair market values with the residual amount being recorded
         as goodwill. The "pooling-of-interests" method, under which the
         financial statements of the acquirer and the acquiree were combined as
         if the two businesses had always been one, will no longer be used.

         .  Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets will no longer be
         amortized over a maximum period of forty years. Goodwill will not be
         amortized but will instead be tested for impairment annually or upon
         the occurrence of certain "triggering events." Identifiable intangible
         assets will be amortized over their expected useful lives; those with
         indefinite expected useful lives will not be amortized. Identifiable
         intangible assets will continue to be tested for impairment under
         previously existing accounting standards.

         Additionally, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" during 2001. SFAS No. 143 relates to obligations
which generally are incurred in connection with the ownership of real property.
We currently lease the substantial majority of our real property and, therefore,
do not believe that the provisions of SFAS No. 143 apply to our current
operations.

         SFAS No. 144 superseded SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the
accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30, "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No.
144 also amended Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial
Statements," to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for
which control is likely to be temporary.

         We adopted SFAS No. 142, SFAS No. 143 and SFAS No. 144 on February 3,
2002, and expect the adoption of these standards to have no material impact on
our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Inventories

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the retail
inventory method of accounting, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out
basis and market based on the lower of replacement cost or estimated realizable
value. The Company's business is dependent to a significant degree upon close
relationships with its vendors. The Company's largest vendor, Nike, represented
approximately 27%, 26% and 30% of its purchases in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment are recorded at cost. It is the Company's policy
to depreciate assets acquired prior to January 28, 1995 using accelerated and
straight-line methods over their estimated service lives (3 to 10 years for
equipment, 5 to 10 years for furniture and fixtures, and 10 to 31.5 years for
buildings) and to amortize leasehold improvements using the straight-line method
over the periods of the applicable leases. Depreciation on assets acquired
subsequent to January 28, 1995 is provided using the straight-line method over
their estimated service lives (3 to 5 years for equipment, 7 years for furniture
and fixtures, and 39 years for buildings) or, in the case of leasehold
improvements, 10 years or over the lives of the respective leases, if shorter.

         Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of
renewals and improvements are capitalized by charges to property accounts and
are depreciated using applicable annual rates. The cost and accumulated
depreciation of assets sold, retired, or

                                        9



otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and the related gain or
loss is credited or charged to income.

Store Opening Costs

         Non-capital expenditures incurred in preparation for opening new retail
stores are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

         Compensation cost is measured under the intrinsic value method in
accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 25. Pro forma disclosures of
net income and earnings per share are presented in Note 7 as if the fair value
method had been applied, as required under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         In preparing disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments,
management believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value for cash
and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term borrowings, long-term debt and
accounts payable, because of the short maturities of those instruments.

Advertising Costs

         Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are expensed
when incurred.

Earnings Per Share

         Basic earnings per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock are exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in earnings. Diluted EPS has been computed based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding, including the effect of outstanding stock options, if
dilutive, in each respective year.

A reconciliation of the weighted average shares for basic and diluted EPS is as
follows:



                                                          Fiscal Year Ended

         For the 52 week period ended February 2, 2002, 139,650 anti-dilutive
options were appropriately excluded from the computation. For the 53 week period
ended February 3, 2001, 18,150 anti-dilutive options were appropriately excluded
from the computation. For the 52-week period ended January 29, 2000, 141,900
anti-dilutive options were appropriately excluded from the computation.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

         The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have
occurred that indicate the remaining balance of long-lived assets and
intangibles may be impaired and not recoverable. The Company's policy is to
recognize any impairment loss on long-lived assets as a charge to current income
when certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of the assets may not be recoverable.

Prior Year Reclassification

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

2.       LONG-TERM DEBT

         The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility, which
will expire November 5, 2003 and allows borrowings up to $35 million. The
Company also maintains an unsecured working capital line of credit for $7
million, which is subject to annual renewal (collectively, the "Debt
Agreements"). As of February 2, 2002, the Company had an aggregate of $3,903,000
outstanding under these facilities. The average amount of borrowings outstanding
under the Debt Agreements during fiscal 2002 was $10,304,000, the maximum
outstanding was $18,860,000, and the weighted average interest rate was 5.21%.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Debt Agreements during
fiscal 2001 was $9,387,000, the maximum amount outstanding was $22,406,000, and
the weighted average interest rate was 7.68%. The average amount of borrowings
outstanding under the Debt Agreements during fiscal 2000 was $5,391,000, the
maximum amount outstanding was $14,155,000, and the weighted average interest
rate was 6.48%.

         The Company's Debt Agreements contain certain restrictive covenants
common to such agreements. The Company was in compliance with respect to its
covenants at February 2, 2002.

3.       LEASES

         The Company leases the premises for its retail sporting goods stores
under operating leases which expire in various years through the year 2009. Many
of these leases contain renewal options and require the Company to pay executory
costs (such as property taxes, maintenance, and insurance). Rental payments
typically include minimum rentals plus contingent rentals based on sales.

         In February 1996, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction
to finance its warehouse and office facilities. In December 1999, the related
operating lease was amended to include the fiscal 2000 expansion of these
facilities. The amended lease rate is $784,000 per year, and the lease will
expire in December 2014.

         Future minimum rental payments under noncancelable operating leases
having remaining terms in excess of one year as of February 2, 2002 are as
follows:

4.   PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

     The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the "Plan") which
permits participants to make pretax contributions to the Plan. The Plan covers
all employees who have completed one year of service and who are at least 21
years of age. Participants of the Plan may voluntarily contribute from 2% to 15%
of their compensation within certain dollar limits as allowed by law. These
elective contributions are made under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code which allows deferral of income taxes on the amount
contributed to the Plan. The Company's contribution to the Plan equals (1) an
amount determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors plus (2) a
matching contribution equal to a discretionary percentage of up to 6% of a
participant's compensation. Contribution expense amounts for fiscal years 2002,
2001, and 2000 were $242,000, $344,000, and $436,000, respectively.

5.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company's majority stockholder provides financial advisory services to
the Company. Such services include, but are not necessarily limited to, advice
and assistance concerning any and all aspects of the operation, planning, and
financing of the Company. Management fee expense under this arrangement was
$200,000 in fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. During fiscal 2002, the
Company filed a S-3 on behalf of this stockholder. Approximately $200,000 will
be reimbursed to the Company for expenses incurred with the filing.

     The Company maintains a sublease for one store with an entity that is
controlled by a minority stockholder which expires in June 2008. Minimum lease
payments were $191,000 in fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. Future
minimum lease payments under this noncancelable sublease aggregate approximately
$1.2 million.

6.   INCOME TAXES

     The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts computed by
applying federal statutory rates due to the following:

7.   STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS

Stock Option Plans

     The Company utilizes the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock
option grants. As the option exercise price is generally equal to the fair value
of the shares of common stock at the date of the option grant, no compensation
cost is recognized.

     The Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc. Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended
(the "Original Option Plan") authorized the granting of stock options for the
purchase of up to 99,528 shares of common stock. Options granted pursuant to the
Original Option Plan vested over a three-year period for 38,053 shares and a
five-year period for 61,475 shares and will expire on the tenth anniversary of
the date of grant. All of the 99,528 options available under the Original Option
Plan have been granted and all such options have been exercised.

     In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted the Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc. 1996
Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "1996 Option Plan"). The 1996 Option Plan
authorizes the granting of stock options for the purchase of up to 1,332,849
shares of common stock, including an amendment to the plan in fiscal 2002, which
authorized the granting of an additional 525,000 stock options. Options granted
vest over a five-year period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of
grant.

         Compensation costs of $50,000 were accrued in fiscal 2001 and 2000,
related to the difference in the estimated market value of the stock and the
nonqualified option exercise price, including the related tax benefit. As these
options are exercised, the excess of the proceeds and accruals over the par
value is credited to paid-in capital. Additionally, the tax benefit associated
with 1) the exercise of nonqualified stock options and 2) disqualifying
dispositions of shares acquired in the Company's option plans, is also credited
to paid-in capital and amounted to $402,000 in fiscal 2002, $570,000 in fiscal
2001, and $87,000 in fiscal 2000.

         If the Company had recorded compensation costs in accordance with SFAS
No. 123 under the fair value based method (using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model), the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

     The weighted average assumptions for determining compensation costs under
the fair value method include (i) a risk-free interest rate based on zero-coupon
governmental issues on each grant date with the maturity equal to the expected
term of the options (5.0%, 6.6%, and 5.2% for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively), (ii) an expected forfeiture rate of 6.0%, (iii) an expected stock
volatility of 58%, and (iv) no expected dividend yield.

Other Plans

     On September 13, 1996, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan
and Outside Director Stock Plan reserving 112,500 shares and 75,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, respectively, for purchase by the employees and
directors at 85% and 100% of the fair value of the common stock, respectively.
On February 1, 2002, February 2, 2001, and January 28, 2000, the Company granted
11,250 options at exercise prices of $20.42, $23.15, and $12.21 (market value on
the date of grant) respectively, under the Outside Director Stock Plan. These
options vest immediately and expire on the earlier of the tenth anniversary of
the grant or one year from the date on which an optionee ceases to be an
Eligible Director. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan became effective on April 1,
1997, and as of February 2, 2002, 31,389 shares have been issued and 81,111
shares are reserved for future purchase.

 8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel,
the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not
presently expected to materially affect the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

(a)   Documents filed as part of this report:

      1.  Financial Statements:

               NOTICE REGARDING ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

               The financial statements, supplementary data and financial
               statement schedule included in this Form 10-K/A(2) are
               incorporated by reference into several registration statements we
               have filed under the Securities Act, and will be incorporated by
               reference into future registration statements we file under the
               Securities Act. Section 11(a) of the Securities Act provides that
               if any part of a registration statement at the time it becomes
               effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact or an
               omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
               or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, any
               person acquiring a security pursuant to such registration
               statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such
               acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may
               sue, among others, every accountant who has consented to be named
               as having prepared or certified any part of the registration
               statement or as having prepared or certified any report or
               valuation which is used in connection with the registration
               statement with respect to the statement in such registration
               statement, report or valuation which purports to have been
               prepared or certified by the accountant. Arthur Andersen LLP was
               our principal independent accountant until their dismissal on May
               9, 2002. Prior to the date of this Form 10-K/A(2), the Arthur
               Andersen partners who reviewed our most recent audited financial
               statements resigned from Arthur Andersen. As a result, after
               reasonable efforts, we have been unable to obtain Arthur
               Andersen's written consent to the inclusion in this Form
               10-K/A(2) of its audit reports with respect to our financial
               statements, which means that Arthur Andersen has not consented to
               the inclusion of its audit reports in any present or future
               registration statements into which the financial statements,
               supplementary data and financial statement schedule included
               herein are incorporated by reference. Under these circumstances,
               Rule 437a under the Securities Act permits us to file this Form
               10-K/A(2), and permits us to incorporate by reference the
               financial statements, supplementary data and financial statement
               schedule included herein into present and future registration
               statements, without the written consent of Arthur Andersen.
               Accordingly, Arthur Andersen will not be liable to you under
               Section 11(a) of the Securities Act because it has not consented
               to being named as an expert in this Form 10-K/A(2) or any present
               or future registration statement into which this Form 10-K/A(2)

      2.  Financial Statement Schedule.

      NOTICE REGARDING ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

               The financial statements, supplementary data and financial
               statement schedule included in this Form 10-K/A(2) are
               incorporated by reference into several registration statements
               we have filed under the Securities Act, and will be incorporated
               by reference into future registration statements we file under
               the Securities Act. Section 11(a) of the Securities Act provides
               that if any part of a registration statement at

                                       16




     the time it becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material
     fact or an omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
     or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, any person
     acquiring a security pursuant to such registration statement (unless it is
     proved that at the time of such acquisition such person knew of such
     untruth or omission) may sue, among others, every accountant who has
     consented to be named as having prepared or certified any part of the
     registration statement or as having prepared or certified any report or
     valuation which is used in connection with the registration statement with
     respect to the statement in such registration statement, report or
     valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified by the
     accountant. Arthur Andersen LLP was our principal independent accountant
     until their dismissal on May 9 2002. Prior to the date of this Form
     10-K/A(2), the Arthur Andersen partners who reviewed our most recent
     audited financial statements resigned from Arthur Andersen. As a result,
     after reasonable efforts, we have been unable to obtain Arthur Andersen's
     written consent to the inclusion in this Form 10-K/A(2) of its audit
     reports with respect to our financial statements, which means that Arthur
     Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of its audit reports in any
     present or future registration statements into which the financial
     statements, supplementary data and financial statement schedule included
     herein are incorporated by reference. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a
     under the Securities Act permits us to file this Form 10-K/A(2), and
     permits us to incorporate by reference the financial statements,
     supplementary data and financial statement schedule included herein into
     present and future registration statements, without the written consent of
     Arthur Andersen. Accordingly, Arthur Andersen will not be liable to you
     under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act because it has not consented to
     being named as an expert in this Form 10-K/A(2) or any present or future
     registration statement into which this Form 10-K/A(2) may be incorporated
     by reference.

     The following consolidated financial statement schedule of Hibbett Sporting
     Goods, Inc. is attached hereto:

               Schedule II Valuation and Qualifying Accounts

     All other schedules for which provision is made in the applicable
     accounting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission are not
     required under the related instructions or are not applicable, and
     therefore have been omitted.

                            ON SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE




To Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc.:

We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, the consolidated financial statements of HIBBETT SPORTING GOODS,
INC. (a Delaware corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES, included in this Form 10-K and
have issued our report thereon dated March 13, 2002. Our audit was made for the
purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a
whole. Schedule II included in Item 14 of the Form 10-K is the responsibility of
the Company's management and is presented for purposes of complying with the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic
financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
