 that the increase in revenues and earnings continues to offer superior financial returns and comparisons. For the first time in our history we are able to report a profit during our slowest seasonal period -- July to December. What is impressive about the quarterly and six month reports is that our order backlogs at December 31 rose 100% ($550,000 vs. $270,000) over year ago comparisons.

Through Six Months and Beyond

"For the six months, revenues increased 24% generating a net income increase of 145%. For the second quarter the seasonal loss was reduced as the result of higher revenues and margins and the EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) A PostScript file format used to transfer a graphic image between applications and platforms.

Margins for both periods continued to improve as compared to year earlier results. Cash flows over the next 6 months are expected to accelerate which should allow the Company to enter our 2004 fiscal year (July 1) in a very strong financial position. We will continue to review the application of our financial resources for the benefit of our shareholders. Such applications may include increases in our cash dividend, stock buybacks Stock buyback

Early Results for January Are Strong

"Our primary selling season (January to June) commenced in January with a surge in orders generating record order input and order backlogs. For the first time in our operating history, orders received for a single week reached $500,000, order backlogs through January were up 120% ($562,000 vs. $250,000) and January revenues were the largest ever recorded by the Company. A combination of creative marketing programs and the introduction of over 200 new products were the catalyst for these results. While it is impossible to know if the current surge in orders will continue throughout the quarter or year, January is historically the lowest revenue producing month in the January-June period.

"As we continue to expand product offerings we are concentrating on becoming the low cost provider of products in the fitness industry, expanding our youth sports business and providing online marketing to millions of players, coaches and institutional accounts through a series of joint venture Internet Internet

Acquisition Searches

"One of the difficulties in pursuing any acquisition is we demand that the contributions from an acquisition be immediate and accretive. When your Company is growing revenues at 25%, has little debt, is generating $400,000 in revenues per employee, is growing earnings at an accelerated pace and recently instituted a cash dividend -- it is difficult to find operations that can match or be accretive to these results. While we are desirous de·sir·ous

 of accelerating our growth via acquisitions, we remain committed to our business plan which continues to produce results unmatched in our industry."

Collegiate Pacific is the nation's fastest growing manufacturer and supplier of sports equipment primarily to the institutional markets. The Company offers more than 3,200 products to 35,000 existing customers and generates the majority of its orders via the distribution of 1.5 million catalogs and Internet/ecommerce activity.
