* The marked paragraphs contain forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially. These risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time
in reports filed by NIKE with the S.E.C., including Forms 8-K, 10-Q, and
10-K. Some forward-looking statements in this release concern changes in
futures orders that are not necessarily indicative of changes in total
revenues for subsequent periods due to the mix of futures and "at once"
orders, exchange rate fluctuations, order cancellations and discounts,
which may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, and because a
significant portion of the business does not report futures orders.
