Description of lease arrangements
We lease the majority of our retail sporting goods stores under non-cancelable operating leases.  The leases typically provide for terms of five to ten years with options to extend at our discretion.  Many of our leases contain scheduled increases in annual rent payments and the majority of our leases also require us to pay maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes.  Additionally, many of the lease agreements contain tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays and/or rent escalation clauses (contingent rentals) based on net sales for the location.  For purposes of recognizing incentives and minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, we use the date of initial possession to begin amortization, which is generally when we enter the space and begin to make improvements in preparation of our intended use.

Most of our retail store leases contain provisions that allow for early termination of the lease if certain pre-determined annual sales levels are not met.  Generally, these provisions allow the lease to be terminated between the third and fifth year of the lease.  Should the lease be terminated under these provisions, in some cases, the unamortized portion of any landlord allowances related to that property would be payable to the landlord.

We also lease certain office equipment and transportation equipment under non-cancelable operating leases having initial terms of more than one year.

In February 1996, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction to finance our distribution center 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 $0.9 million per year and can increase annually with the Consumer Price Index.  This lease will expire in December 2014.   Future minimum lease payments under this non-cancelable lease aggregate approximately $2.6 million.  The transaction is also subject to quarterly financial covenants based on certain ratios.
