Forecasted 4th Quarter & Full Year Profitability Impacted
                 By 100% Increase In Snowboard Revenue


    GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- California Pro Sports,
Inc. (Nasdaq: CALP, CALPW) announced that it had an unaudited net 
pre-tax profit of $64.0 thousand or $.02 per share for it's third 
quarter ended September 30, 1995.

    Mike Casazza, President and Chief Operating Officer, stated the
Company now had two consecutive profitable quarters, resulting in a
forecasted profit for the year ending December 31, 1995.  Revenues
through September 30, 1995 increased by nearly 9% to $11.69 
million versus $10.76 million a year ago.  The revenue increases are
particularly noteworthy given the current retail environment.  Barry
Hollander, Chief Financial Officer, commented that this year's 
increase in sales would have been $1 million greater in the third 
quarter had the Company had sufficient product available to ship the 
Kemper Snowboard orders.  Fourth quarter revenues are forecasted 
again to be favorable to last year as California Pro fills the Kemper 
Snowboard backlog.  The Company expects that Kemper Snowboards 
will generate sales that are 100% greater this year versus 1994.  
Additionally, telemarketing programs coupled with new in-line skate 
introductions are expected to contribute to future growth.  The 
Company has now developed the initial in-line skate product line 
offering for the major general retail channels to be marketed 
utilizing the Company's sub-brand Rolling Thunder(TM).

    Casazza further commented on the Company's previously 
announced proposed acquisition of USA Skate.  It is expected a 
successful completion of this acquisition will take place some time in 
December 1995 subject to the continuing due diligence and 
accounting reconciliation.  This acquisition is projected to add over 
$20 million in revenues in 1996 to the core business of California 
Pro.

    Casazza commented that co-marketing and sales efforts have been
underway for several months between California Pro and USA Skate.  
These activities have already procured sales for early 1996 delivery 
of in- line skates and snowboards from European distributors of USA 
Skate. Clearly, the synergy and opportunities that are contemplated 
are very substantial, inclusive of the worldwide in-line skate 
potential utilizing the Vic(R) brand on fitness, recreational, street and 
roller hockey skates, as well as protective gear.

    California Pro markets California Pro(TM) in-line skates, 
Kemper(R) snowboards, protective equipment and other related 
accessory products. In 1994, snowboarding and in-line skating were 
reported as the two fastest growing sports in the world.
