PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
NIKE, Inc. was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the state of Oregon.
As used herein, the terms "NIKE" and the "Company" refer to NIKE, Inc. and
its predecessors, subsidiaries and affiliates, unless the context indicates
otherwise.
The Company's principal business activity involves the design, development
and worldwide marketing of high quality footwear, apparel, and accessory
products. The Company sells its products to approximately 14,000 retail
accounts in the United States and through a mix of independent distributors,
licensees and subsidiaries in approximately 110 countries around the world.
Virtually all of the Company's products are manufactured by independent
contractors. Most footwear products are produced outside the United States,
while apparel products are produced both in the United States and abroad.
PRODUCTS
NIKE's athletic footwear products are designed primarily for specific
athletic use, although a large percentage of the products are worn for
casual or leisure purposes. The Company places considerable emphasis on high
quality construction and innovative design. Basketball, fitness, running,
and children's shoes are currently the top-selling product categories
and are expected to continue to lead in product sales in the near future.
However, the Company also markets shoes designed for outdoor activities,
tennis, golf, soccer, baseball, football, bicycling, volleyball,
wrestling, cheerleading, aquatic activities and other athletic and
recreational uses.
The Company sells active sports apparel covering each of the above
categories, as well as athletic bags and accessory items. NIKE apparel and
accessories are designed to complement the Company's athletic footwear
products, feature the same trademarks and are sold through the same marketing
and distribution channels. The Company often markets footwear, apparel and
accessories in "collections" of similar design or for specific purposes.
The Company also sells a line of dress and casual footwear and
accessories for men, women and children under the brand name Cole Haan(R)
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cole Haan Holdings Incorporated.
The Company markets a line of headwear with licensed team logos under
the brand name "Sports Specialties", through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Sports Specialties Corporation. The Company also sells
small amounts of various plastic products to other manufacturers through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tetra Plastics, Inc.
In February 1995 the Company acquired Canstar Sports Inc., the world's
largest hockey equipment manufacturer. Canstar manufactures and distributes
ice skates under the Bauer, Micron, Mega, Daoust and Lange brand names;
in-line roller skates and protective gear under the Bauer brand name; Cooper
and Flak hockey protective equipment; Cooper and Bauer hockey sticks; Bauer
hockey jerseys and accessories; and Tuuk, ICM and John Wilson skate blades.
Canstar also offers a full selection of products for street, roller and
field hockey.
SALES AND MARKETING
The table below sets forth certain information regarding the Company's
United States and international (non-U.S.) revenues for the last three
fiscal years.

Financial information about United States and international operations
appears in Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements on page 26.
The Company experiences moderate fluctuations in aggregate sales volume
during the year. However, the mix of product sales may vary considerably
from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic
demand for particular types of footwear and apparel.
Because NIKE is a consumer products company, the relative popularity of
various sports and fitness activities and changing design trends affect
the demand for the Company's products and, consequently, the types of
products the Company offers. The Company must therefore respond
appropriately to trends and shifts in consumer preferences by
adjusting the mix of existing product offerings, developing new products,
styles, and categories, and influencing sports and fitness preferences
through agressive marketing.
UNITED STATES MARKET
During fiscal 1995, sales to the Company's approximately 16,000
retail accounts in the United States accounted for approximately 63
percent of total revenues. The domestic retail account base includes a mix
of department stores, footwear stores, sporting goods stores, skating,
tennis and golf shops and other retail accounts. During fiscal year
1995, NIKE's three largest customers accounted for approximately 34
percent of sales in the United States.
NIKE makes substantial use of its innovative "futures" ordering program,
which allows retailers to order five to six months in advance of delivery
with the guarantee that 90 percent of their orders will be delivered within
a set time period at a fixed price. In fiscal year 1995, 88 percent of the
Company's domestic footwear shipments (excluding Cole Haan(R)) were made
under the futures program, compared to 81 percent in fiscal 1994 and 83
percent in fiscal 1993.
The Company utilizes 17 NIKE sales offices for the solicitation
of sales in the United States. The Company also utilizes 10 independent
sales representatives for the sale of specialty products, such as golf,
cycling, water sports and outdoor wear. In addition, the Company
operates 61 wholly-owned retail outlets, 33 of which carry primarily
B-grade and close-out merchandise, 18 of which are Cole Haan(R) stores, 4
of which are high-profile NIKETOWN stores designed to showcase the
Company's products, and 4 of which are employee-only stores.
The Company's domestic distribution centers for footwear are located in
Beaverton, Oregon, Wilsonville, Oregon, Memphis, Tennessee, Greenland, New
Hampshire and Yarmouth, Maine. Apparel products are shipped from the Memphis
distribution center and from Greenville, North Carolina. Sports Specialties
headwear is shipped from Irvine, California, and Canstar Sports Inc.
products are distributed from Swanton and St. Albans, Vermont.
INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
The Company currently markets its products in approximately 110 countries
outside of the United States through independent distributors, licensees,
subsidiaries and branch offices. NIKE operates 32 distribution centers in
Europe, Asia, Canada, Latin America, and Australia, and also distributes
through independent distributors and licensees. During fiscal 1995, sales
of NIKE brand products to the Company's approximately 35,000 international
(non-U.S.) retail accounts accounted for 37 percent of total revenues in
fiscal 1995, compared to 36 percent in fiscal 1994 and 36 percent in fiscal
1993. In fiscal 1993, the Company initiated a futures ordering program for
European retailers similar to the United States futures program described
above. Outside of the United States, NIKE's three largest customers
accounted for approximately 6 percent of non-U.S. sales.
International branch offices and subsidiaries of NIKE are located in
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Japan,
Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Peoples Republic of China,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, The
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
Foot Locker, a chain of retail stores specializing in athletic footwear and
apparel, accounted for approximately 14 percent of global net sales of NIKE
brand products during fiscal 1995. No other customer accounted for 10 percent
or more of net sales during fiscal 1995.
ORDERS
As of May 31, 1995, the Company's worldwide orders for athletic footwear
and apparel totaled $2.5 billion, compared to $1.8 billion as of
May 31, 1994.Such orders are scheduled for delivery from June through
November of 1995. Based upon historical data, the Company expects that
approximately 95 percent of these orders will be filled in that time period,
although the orders may be cancelable.
PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company believes that its research and development efforts are a
key factor in its past and future success. Technical innovation in the
design of footwear and apparel receive continued emphasis as NIKE strives
to produce products that reduce or eliminate injury, aid athletic performance
and maximize comfort.
In addition to its own staff of specialists in the areas of biomechanics,
exercise physiology, engineering, industrial design and related fields,
NIKE also utilizes research committees and advisory boards made up of
athletes, coaches, trainers, equipment managers, orthopedists, podiatrists
and other experts who consult with the Company and review designs, materials
and concepts for product improvement. Employee athletes wear-test and
evaluate products during the design and development process.
In fiscal 1995, NIKE spent approximately $28.8 million on product research,
development and evaluation, compared to $24.6 million in 1994 and $22.6
million in 1993.
MANUFACTURING
In fiscal 1995, approximately 47 percent of the Company's total apparel
production for sale to the United States market was manufactured in the
United States by independent contract manufacturers, most of which are
located in the southern states. The remainder was manufactured by
independent contractors in Asia and South America, most of which are
located in Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, Singapore,
Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Thailand. Substantially all of NIKE's apparel
production for sale to the international market was manufactured outside
the U.S.
Virtually all of the Company's footwear (exclusive of Cole Haan(R)
brand footwear) is produced outside of the United States. In fiscal 1995,
contract suppliers in Indonesia, the People's Republic of China, South
Korea, Taiwan and Thailand accounted for approximately 31 percent, 31
percent, 16 percent, 8 percent, and 14 percent, respectively, of total
footwear production. The Company also has manufacturing agreements with
independent factories in Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, Italy and Mexico.
The largest single supplier outside of the United States accounted for
approximately 9 percent of total 1995 footwear production.
The principal materials used in the Company's footwear products are
natural and synthetic rubber, vinyl and plastic compounds, foam cushioning
materials, nylon, leather, canvas, and a polyurethane film used to make
AIR-SOLE(R) cushioning components. NIKE and its contractors and suppliers
buy raw materials in bulk. Most raw materials are available in the
countries where manufacturing takes place. NIKE has thus far experienced
little difficulty in satisfying its raw material requirements. Tetra
Plastics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NIKE, is the Company's sole
supplier of the material from which the AIR-SOLE(R) cushioning components
used in footwear are made.
The Company's international operations are subject to the usual risks
of doing business abroad, such as possible revaluation of currencies,
export duties, quotas, restrictions on the transfer of funds and, in
certain parts of the world, political instability. See "Trade Legislation"
below. NIKE has not, to date, been materially affected by any such risk,
but cannot predict the likelihood of such developments occurring. The
Company believes that it has the ability to develop, over a period of
time, adequate alternative sources of supply for the products obtained
from its present suppliers outside of the United States. If events
prevented the Company from acquiring products from its suppliers in a
particular country, the Company's footwear operations could be
temporarily disrupted and the Company could experience an adverse financial
impact. However, the Company believes that it could eliminate any such
disruption within a period of no more than 12 months, and that any adverse
impact would, therefore, be of a short-term nature. The Company believes that
its principal competitors are subject to similar risks.
3
All Company products manufactured overseas and imported into the United
States are subject to duties collected by the United States Customs Service.
Customs information submitted by the Company is routinely subject to review
by the Customs Service. The Company is unable to predict whether additional
United States customs duties, quotas or other restrictions may be imposed on
the importation of its products in the future. The enactment of any such
duties, quotas or restrictions could result in increases in the cost of such
products generally and might adversely affect the sales or profitability of
the Company and the imported footwear industry as a whole.
Since 1972, Nissho Iwai American Corporation ("NIAC"), a subsidiary of
Nissho Iwai Corporation, a large Japanese trading company, has performed
significant financing and export-import services for the Company. The
Company purchases through NIAC substantially all of the athletic footwear
and apparel it acquires from overseas suppliers. The Company's agreements
with NIAC extend through 2000, and the Company expects that the relationship
will be continued beyond that date.
TRADE LEGISLATION
In 1995, President Clinton extended to June 1996, "most favored nation"
(MFN), non-discriminatory trading status to the People's Republic of China
(China). Under U.S.law, MFN status for China is extended annually. The United
States has extended MFN status to China each year since 1980. China is a
material source of footwear production for the Company. A revocation of
MFN status would result in a substantial increase in tariff rates on goods
imported from China, and, therefore could adversely affect the Company's
operations. While the United States continues to have foreign policy as well
as human rights concerns with China, the Clinton Administration continues to
oppose using China's MFN status as a means of addressing these concerns.
However, even if NIKE's Chinese sources were affected by a change in
China's MFN status, the Company believes that the impact of such change would
not have a long term, material adverse impact on the Company's business.
Certain countries within the European Community have for some time main-
tained quotas restricting the importation of footwear manufactured in
China. With respect to such quotas, see the discussion in Item 7 below.
In 1994, the United States, Mexico, and Canada implemented a North America
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Benefits to the Company include a phased
elimination of duties on footwear and apparel produced and imported from
Mexico, and the implementation and enforcement of new Mexican laws pro-
tecting the intellectual property rights of United States companies doing
business in Mexico. While the Company currently purchases no apparel
and only a fraction of its Cole Haan(R) shoes from Mexico, NAFTA may permit
NIKE to economically source some products from Mexico.
In April 1994, the 125 member nations of the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT), including the United States, signed a new pact to govern
world trade. The new agreement, which was approved by Congress in December
1995 and became effective January 1, 1995 for most countries, should provide
better international market access opportunities for U.S. goods and services.
The agreement, among other things, significantly cuts global tariffs on many
products, reduces or eliminates numerous non-tariff measures (such as quotas
and discriminatory product standards), establishes stronger rules on the
imposition of duties relating to the anti-dumping and subsidies codes,
provides greater protection for intellectual property rights, and creates a
strengthened dispute settlement procedure. NIKE believes that the
new agreement, once fully implemented by all countries, will reduce many
of the obstacles to international trade and benefit the Company.
In July 1995, President Clinton officially restored diplomatic relations
between the United States and Vietnam. The President's action is a step
toward possible restoration of full trade relations including the United
States granting non-discriminatory MFN trading status to Vietnam which
would result in lower tariffs between the two countries. The Company
is currently sourcing some footwear products from factories in
Vietnam. MFN trading status for Vietnam could expand production and
marketing opportunities for NIKE in Vietnam.
4
COMPETITION
The athletic footwear and apparel industry is keenly competitive in
the United States and on a worldwide basis. NIKE competes internationally
with an increasing number of specialized athletic shoe companies, apparel
companies, and large companies having diversified lines of athletic shoes
and apparel, including Reebok, Adidas and others. The intense competition
and the rapid changes in technology and consumer preferences in the
athletic shoe and apparel markets constitute significant risk factors in
the Company's operations.
NIKE is the largest supplier of athletic footwear in the world. Perfor-
mance and reliability of shoes and apparel, new product development, price,
product identity through marketing and promotion, and customer support
and service are important aspects of competition in the athletic footwear
and apparel industry. The Company believes that it is competitive in all
of these areas.
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
NIKE utilizes trademarks on nearly all of its products and believes that
having distinctive marks that are readily identifiable is an important
factor in creating a market for its goods, in identifying the Company and
in distinguishing its goods from the goods of others. The Company considers
its NIKE(R) and Swoosh(R) design trademarks to be among its most valuable
assets and has registered these trademarks in over 100 countries. In
addition, the Company owns other trademarks which it utilizes in marketing
its products. NIKE continues to vigorously protect its trademarks against
infringement.
The Company has an exclusive, worldwide license to make and sell footwear
using patented "Air" technology. The process utilizes pressurized gas
encapsulated in polyurethane. Some of the NIKE Air patents will expire
in 1997, enabling competitors to use certain types of NIKE Air technology.
The Company also has a number of patents covering components and features
used in various athletic and leisure shoes. Management believes that NIKE's
success depends upon skills in design, research and development, production
and marketing rather than upon its patent position. However, it has
followed a policy of filing applications for United States and foreign
patents on inventions and designs that it deems valuable.
EMPLOYEES
The Company had approximately 14,240 employees at May 31, 1995.
Management considers its relationship with its employees to be excellent.
None of the Company's employees are represented by a union. There has never
been a material interruption of operations due to labor disagreements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
HIGHLIGHTS
Fiscal year 1995 was a record year, with milestones achieved for almost
all income statement categories:
- -Revenues exceeded $4 billion for the first time, increasing
approximately $1 billion, up 25.6% over last year and 21.1% over the
previous high in fiscal year 1993. All four quarters exceeded $1 billion
each in revenues for the first time in the Company's history.
- -Gross margins established a new record, increasing .5% over the
previous high of 39.3% achieved in both 1994 and 1993.
- -Selling and administrative costs decreased .3% as a percent of
revenues from the previous year.
- -Net income rose to a record $399.7 million, an increase of 33.8% over
fiscal 1994 and 9.5% over the previous record established in fiscal
1993. Due to the share repurchase program, earnings per share increases
were even higher with 37.4% and 14.8% increases over fiscal 1994 and
fiscal 1993, respectively.
- -The momentum appears to continue with record futures orders for the
next six months of $2.5 billion reported, up 35% over the prior year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Significantly higher revenues and improved gross margins, along
with a reduced percentage of revenues in selling and administrative
costs, were the primary factors in the record results for fiscal 1995 as
compared to 1994. Fiscal 1994 experienced the first decline in seven
years primarily as a result of decreased revenues and increased selling
and administrative expenses as compared with the previous record year in
fiscal 1993. During 1995, the Company was able to gain market share in
the United States (U.S.) in spite of a rather mature market, where
industry sources expected only a 3 to 5% market growth rate. The Company
believes this was a result of both superior design and products,
expansion of product categories and intensive marketing efforts. The
Company's international markets are less mature than in the U.S. and
offer more potential for growth. Accordingly, the Company has continued
to invest in international infrastructure in order to capitalize on this
potential and has seen higher selling and administrative expenses as a
result. Through its aggressive worldwide marketing efforts and global
infrastructure spending, the Company is positioning itself to continue
to expand markets and gain market share on a worldwide basis.
9
The Company experienced revenue growth in fiscal 1995 across all of
the breakout categories (see chart), with the most significant increase
in U.S. footwear, which grew $440.5 million, or 24%, as a result of 22%
more pairs shipped at a 2% increase in average selling price per pair.
Men's basketball business continues to dominate the category with
revenues up 12% for the year. Women's fitness grew 26%, women's sport
was up 45% and outdoor increased 48% over the prior year. International
brand revenues also increased significantly, growing $360 million, or
27% as a result of a $246.1 million (25%) increase in international
footwear revenues and a $113.9 million (32%) increase in international
apparel revenues. International revenues were increased 7% as a result
of the foreign currency translation impact. While European revenues
remained relatively constant in spite of decreases in France and
Germany, the Asia Pacific and Americas regions were up substantially
with 81% and 61% increases, respectively. Asia Pacific growth was
primarily a result of Japan and newly owned NIKE Korea, while the
Americas region was up primarily as a result of newly owned NIKE
Argentina and improved revenues in Canada. U.S. apparel revenues
rebounded strongly, up $85.4 million (25%), and other brands - which
includes Cole Haan,- Tetra Plastics, Inc., Sports Specialties Corp.
and newly acquired Canstar Sports Inc. - grew $85.3 million primarily
due to the addition of Canstar.
The 4% decline in fiscal 1994 revenues was attributable to decreases
in sales of U.S. and international footwear and U.S. apparel. The 5%
U.S. footwear decrease was a result of a 2% drop in pairs shipped and a
3% decline in average selling price per pair, and was attributed
primarily to a 22% reduction in basketball category revenues offset
partially by gains in cross-training, outdoor and women's fitness
categories. International decreased as a result of reduced footwear
revenues offset slightly by increased apparel revenues. The decline
was a result of poor economies in Europe. This was partially offset by
growth in revenues from Asia Pacific and Latin America, with the largest
contributor being the addition of NIKE Japan in the third quarter of
fiscal 1994.
The breakdown of revenues follows:

Gross margin increased to 39.8% in fiscal 1995 as compared to 39.3% in
both 1994 and 1993. Gross margin improvement can be attributed to strong
consumer demand for NIKE brand products (resulting in lower closeout
levels and increased revenues to cover fixed operating costs), internally
controlled close-out distribution, a solid inventory position and strong
inventory management, and the Company's innovative advance futures order
program. Fiscal 1995 margin was up across all footwear and apparel
categories except for certain other brands. Similarly, 1994 margin was up
in the NIKE brand categories, reduced by margins in other brands.
International margin increased in 1995 over 1994 and 1993, where
improvement was noted in the second half of 1994 as a result of lower
closeouts and improved inventory position over the first half of 1994 and
all of 1993. The Company continues to place strong emphasis on inventory
management, minimizing foreign exchange risk, and production sourcing in
order to maximize gross profit.
Total selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 25.4% as compared to 25.7% in 1994 and 23.5% in 1993. The
reduction can be attributed primarily to the increase in revenues. The
increase in absolute dollar terms was primarily a result of U.S.
marketing, new NIKE-owned international subsidiaries and Canstar and
international infrastructure expenses. The increase in 1994 over 1993 was
attributed to new NIKE-owned international operations and planned growth
in international infrastructure. The Company plans to continue to invest
in growth opportunities and worldwide marketing.
10
Consolidated interest expense increased approximately $9 million as a
result of significant operational and investment cash needs financed with
short term borrowings. During the prior year, the Company was in a high net
cash position that resulted in lower short-term operating borrowing needs,
and the Company also reduced its long-term debt with the repayment of
$50 million in long-term notes at the beginning of fiscal 1994.
Other (income)/expense rose $3.5 million in expense over 1994 primarily
as a result of increased goodwill amortization and additional non-recurring
specific obligations related to the shutdown of certain facilities in
conjunction with the consolidation of European warehouses discussed in
the prior year. These were offset partially by increased interest income
resulting from higher interest rates and excess cash in the first half of
the year.
The effective tax rate decreased to 38.5% from 39.1% in 1994 and 38.6%
in 1993. The decrease was primarily the result of lower taxes provided on
non-U.S. earnings. Fiscal 1994's effective rate increased due to the U.S.
federal tax increase of 1%, which was applied retroactively, and the
Company's subsequent implementation of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement 109, which required the application of the 1%
increase to deferred taxes. This increase was partially offset by the
Company's decision to permanently reinvest more foreign earnings overseas,
reducing tax expense by the U.S. tax previously recognized. The Company
anticipates the effective rate for fiscal 1996 will approximate the rate for
1995.
Worldwide orders for NIKE brand footwear and apparel scheduled for
delivery between June and November, 1995, are approximately $2.5
billion, 35% higher than such orders in the comparable period of the
prior year. These orders are not necessarily indicative of total revenues
for the subsequent periods because the mix of advance orders and "at once"
shipments may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
Additionally, as international operations continue to shift to a greater
emphasis on futures orders, this mix may again vary. Finally, exchange rate
fluctuations can also cause differences in comparisons.
The Company operates globally, giving rise to exposures of market risks
from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses
highly liquid foreign currency spot, forward and purchased options with
high credit quality financial institutions in order to minimize the effects
of fluctuations on the Company's foreign currency transactions. The Company
only transacts foreign exchange contracts to hedge underlying economic
exposures and does not transact in derivatives for trading or speculative
purposes. Where possible, the Company nets its foreign exchange exposures
to take advantage of natural offsets that occur in the normal course of
business. Firmly committed transactions are hedged with forward exchange
contracts. Anticipated, but not yet firmly committed transactions, may be
hedged through the use of purchased options. Additional information
concerning the Company's hedging activities is presented in Note 14 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The results of operations were favorably affected by weakening of the
U.S. dollar in comparision to foreign currencies. Generally, a weaker U.S.
dollar will result in higher translation of operating results in these
financial statements than would a stronger U.S. dollar.
The Company's international operations are subject to the usual
risks of doing business abroad, such as the imposition of import quotas or
anti-dumping duties. In this regard, the European Union (the "EU") has
imposed quotas that restrict the importation into the EU of certain footwear
manufactured in The People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). Such quotas are
applicable throughout all of the Member States that comprise the EU.
While such quotas have required the Company to limit the quantities of
footwear sourced in the PRC, they included an exemption for higher value
special technology sports footwear and have not had a material adverse
impact on the Company's business.
In February, 1995, the EU Commission, at the request of the European
footwear manufacturers, initiated two anti-dumpting investigations
covering certain footwear imported from the PRC, Indonesia and Thailand.
The investigations expressly exclude certain athletic footwear (as
defined in the Notices of Initiation of Anti-Dumping Proceedings). The
Company believes that most of its footwear sourced in the target countries
fits within these exclusions and, therefore, that it will not be materially
affected by these investigations. However, to some degree, the language
of the exclusions is not sufficiently precise to preclude the possibility
of varying interpretations by the EU Commission and the national customs
authorities of the Member States (e.g. as to the meaning of terms such as
"sports footwear" or "footwear designed for a sporting activity"). As of
the end of the 1995 fiscal year, the Company is unable to predict the
likelihood that the EU Commission will ultimately impose anti-dumping
duties on any of the footwear covered by the investigations, or the
amount of any such duties. If the EU Commission were to impose such
duties on some of the Company's footwear, it is possible that the Company
would consider shifting some production to other countries in order to
maintain competitive prices. The Company believes that it is prepared to
deal effectively with any such duties that may arise and that any adverse
impact would be of a short-term nature.
The Company continues to closely monitor international trade
restrictions and to develop contingency plans. The Company believes that
its major competitors would be similarly impacted by any such restrictions.
11
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's financial position remains extremely strong at May 31,
1995. Total assets exceeded $3 billion for the first time and shareholder's
equity increased $224 million to approximately $2 billion. Cash and
equivalents decreased $303 million (58%) primarily as a result of the
purchase of Canstar in the amount of $409 million and increased operational
cash needs. Working capital decreased $270 million as a result of increased
notes and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lower cash and
equivalents (as discussed previously), offset by increased inventories
and accounts receivable. The Company's current ratio was 1.8 at May 31,
1995, compared to 3.2 at May 31, 1994, decreasing primarily due to the
addition of NIKE-brand subsidiaries with assets substantially equivalent
to liabilities and the use of cash to purchase Canstar, converting a
current asset (cash) to long-term assets.
Inventory levels have increased $160 million since May 31, 1994,
primarily due to the addition of Canstar and new NIKE-brand subsidiaries.
U.S. footwear and apparel and international inventories also increased in
anticipation of the high level of futures orders for the next quarter.
Accounts receivable increased $350 million (50%) due to the high level of
fourth quarter revenues (41% higher than the previous year) as well as the
addition of NIKE-brand subsidiaries and Canstar.
Cash provided by operations was $255 million in 1995 compared to
$576 million and $265 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase
in 1994 was a result of decreased inventory levels, offset partially by
decreases in net income and non-cash charges.
Additions to property, plant and equipment for fiscal 1995 were $154
million, with the most significant component related to the consolidation
of European footwear warehouses. Total property, plant and equipment
increased in excess of this amount due to Canstar and new NIKE-brand
subsidiaries. Additions to property, plant and equipment of $95 million
and $97 million in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively, were related to the
expansion of existing U.S. headquarters and U.S. and international warehouse
facilities to satisfy increased capacity needs, along with investments in
management information systems and new NIKE retail locations. Anticipated
capital expenditures for fiscal 1996 approximate $177 million, with the
primary components consisting of the continued consolidation of European
footwear warehouses and expansion of NIKE TOWN retail locations.
Funding is expected to be provided primarily by operations.
Current liabilities increased $546 million, with a significant portion
of the increase due to the addition of Canstar and new NIKE-brand
subsidiaries which added operationally related debt, including notes
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Additionally, operating
cash needs increased due to the high level of revenues and orders, combined
with the reduction in excess cash which was used to purchase Canstar.
Additional investing activities in 1995 included the acquisition of
Canstar and certain international distributors, including Korea, and in
1994 included the acquisition of NIKE Japan.
During fiscal 1994, the Company announced that the Executive Committee of
its Board of Directors, acting within limits set by the Board, authorized
a plan to repurchase a maximum of $450 million of NIKE Class B Common
Stock over a period of up to three years. Funding has, and is expected to
continue to come from operating cash in potential combination with
occasional short or medium-term borrowings. The timing and the amount of
shares purchased will be dictated by working capital needs and stock market
conditions. As of May 31, 1995, the Company had repurchased 4.9 million
shares at a total cost of $282.9 million.
Dividends per share of common stock for fiscal 1995 rose $.15 over fiscal
1994 to $.95 per share. The Company has declared a dividend in every quarter
since February 1984. Based upon current projected earnings and cash flow
requirements, the Company anticipates continuing a dividend and reviews
the amount at the second-quarter board meeting. The Company's policy
continues to target an annual dividend in the range of 15% to 25% of
trailing twelve-month earnings.
12
The Company's commercial paper program, rated A1 by Standard and Poor's
Corporation and P1 by Moody's Investors Service, requires the support of
committed and uncommitted lines of credit. There was $118,609,000
outstanding under this program at May 31, 1995 and no amounts outstanding
at May 31, 1994. Additionally, no amounts were outstanding at May 31,
1995 and 1994, under a committed $300 million multiple option credit
facility. (See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
details concerning the Company's short-term borrowing.) NIKE's debt-to-
equity ratio was 0.6:1, 0.4:1 and 0.3:1 at May 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Management believes that funds generated by operations, together with
currently available resources, will adequately finance anticipated fiscal
1996 expenditures, with the potential exception of the stock repurchase
program discussed above.

NIKE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated. To facilitate the timely preparation
of the consolidated financial statements, the accounts of certain
international operations have been consolidated for fiscal years ending
in April.
Recognition of revenues:
Revenues recognized include sales plus fees earned on sales by licensees.
Avertising:
Advertising production costs are expensed the first time the
advertisement is run. Media (TV and print) placement costs are expensed
in the month the advertising appears.
Cash and equivalents:
Cash and equivalents represent cash and short-term, highly liquid
investments with original maturities three months or less.
Inventory valuation:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for substantially
all U. S. inventories. International inventories are valued on a first-in,
first-out (FIFO) basis.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation:
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for
financial reporting purposes is determined on a straight-line basis for
buildings and leasehold improvements and principally on a declining balance
basis for machinery and equipment, based upon estimated useful lives ranging
from three to thirty-two years.
Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill:
At May 31, 1995 and 1994 the Company had patents, trademarks and other
identifiable intangible assets with a value of $200,369,000 and $11,738,000,
respectively. At May 31, 1995 and 1994 the Company's excess of purchase cost
over the fair value to net assets of businesses acquired (goodwill) was
$338,560,000 and $182,212,000, respectively. Identifiable intangible assets
and goodwill are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on a
straight-line basis over five to forty years. Amortization expense was
$13,176,000, $8,409,000 and $5,863,000 for the years ended May 31, 1995,
1994, and 1993, respectively. Amortization is included in other
income/expense. Accumulated amortization was $43,022,000 and $30,914,000 at
May 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Intangible assets are periodically
reviewed by the Company for impairments where the fair value is less than
the carrying value.
Other non-current liabilities:
Other non-current liabilities include amounts with settlement dates
beyond one year, and are primarily composed of long-term deferred
endorsement payments of $26,893,000 and $33,586,000 at May 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Deferred payments to endorsers relate to amounts due
beyond contract termination, which are discounted at various interest rates
and accrued over the contract period.
Endorsement contracts:
Accounting for endorsement contracts is based upon specific contract
provisions. Generally, endorsement payments are expensed uniformly
over the term of the contract after giving recognition to periodic
performance compliance provisions of the contracts.
Foreign currency translation:
Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency
financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in the currency
translation adjustment in shareholders' equity.
19
Derivatives:
The Company enters into foreign currency contracts in order to
reduce the impact of certain foreign currency fluctuations. Firmly
committed transactions are hedged with forward exchange contracts.
Anticipated, but not yet firmly committed, transactions may be hedged
through the use of purchased options. Gains and losses related to hedges
of firmly committed transactions are deferred and are recognized in income
or as adjustments of carrying amounts when the hedged transaction occurs.
Premiums paid on purchased options are included in other assets and are
recognized in income in the same period as the hedged transaction. See
Note 14 for further discussion.
Income taxes:
Income taxes are provided currently on financial statement earnings of
international subsidiaries expected to be repatriated. The Company intends
to determine annually the amount of undistributed international earnings
to invest indefinitely in its international operations.
In June 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FAS 109). The adoption of
FAS109 changes the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the
deferred method (APB 11) to an asset and liability approach. Previously
the Company deferred the past tax effects of timing differences between
financial reporting and taxable income. The asset and liability approach
requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts and the tax bases of other assets and liabilities. See
Note 6 for further discussion.
Net income per common share:
Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent (stock option) shares outstanding
for the periods reported.
Reclassifications:
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1995 presentation. These changes had no impact on previously reported
results of operations or shareholders' equity.

Inventories by major classification are as follows:

The excess of replacement cost over LIFO cost approximated $19,512,000
at May 31, 1995, and $19,367,000 at May 31, 1994. During 1994, certain
inventory quantities were reduced resulting in liquidations, which were
not material, of LIFO inventory quantities carried at different costs
prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of those years
purchases.

$300 million unsecured multiple option facility with sixteen banks,
which matures on November 30, 1997. This agreement contains optional
borrowing alternatives consisting of a committed revolving loan
facility and a competitive bid facility. The interest rate charged
on this agreement is determined by the borrowing option and under
the committed revolving loan facility is either the Prime Rate or
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus .30%. The agreement provides
for annual fees of .125% of the total commitment. Under the agreement,
the Company must maintain, among other things, certain minimum specified
financial ratios and balances. Domestic subsidiaries had $0 and $6,462,000
outstanding at May 31, 1995, and May 31, 1994, respectively, under
unsecured, uncommitted short-term credit agreements.
Ratings for the Company to issue commercial paper, which is required to be
supported by committed and uncommitted lines of credit, are A1 by
Standard and Poor's Corporation and P1 by Moody's Investor Service.
At May 31, 1995 there was $118,609,000 outstanding and at May 31, 1994
there were no amounts outstanding under these arrangements.
The Company has outstanding loans at interest rates at various spreads above
the banks' cost of funds for financing international operations. Certain of
these loans can be secured by accounts receivable and inventory.
The Company purchases through NIAC substantially all of the athletic footwear
and apparel it acquires from non-U.S. suppliers. Accounts payable to NIAC
are generally due up to 115 days after shipment of goods from the foreign
port. Interest on such accounts payable accrues at the ninety day
LIBOR rate as of the beginning of the month of the invoice date, plus .30%.

During fiscal 1994 the Company permanently reinvested approximately
$56,000,000 of its undistributed international earnings in certain
international subsidiaries. This resulted in a reduction of $12,800,000
in the 1994 provision for deferred income taxes.
On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was
signed into law, raising corporate rates 1%. This resulted in an increase
of approximately $7,200,000 in tax expense, computed as the impact of the
1% applied retroactively to earnings from January 1, 1993, and also to
deferred taxes in accordance with FAS 109.
22
The Company adopted FAS 109 during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
The Company has elected to report the cumulative effect of the FAS 109
adoption as of May 31, 1987. The cumulative effect of $3,207,000 has
been recorded as a reduction in common shareholder's equity for each of
the years subsequent to 1987. There was no impact on the results of
operations previously reported for the years 1987 through 1993. The
adoption of FAS 109 had no effect on income taxes, the provision for
income taxes, and the effective tax rates for the years ended May 31,
1993.
As of May 31, 1995, the Company has utilized all foreign tax credits.

price have been recognized as of May 31, 1995 and are classified in
non-current deferred income taxes.
NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

NOTE 8 - COMMON STOCK
The authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock no par
value and Class B Common Stock no par value are 60,000,000 and 150,000,000,
respectively. Each share of Class A common Stock is convertible into one
share of Class B Common Stock. Voting rights of Class B Common Stock are
limited in certain circumstances with respect to the election of directors.
The Company's Employee Incentive Compensation Plan (the "1980 Plan") was
adopted in 1980 and expired on December 31, 1990. The 1980 Plan provided
for the issuance of up to 3,360,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common
Stock in connection with the exercise of stock options granted under such
plan. No further grants will be made under the 1980 Plan.
In 1990, the Board of Directors adopted, and the shareholders approved,
the NIKE, Inc. 1990 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1990 Plan"). The 1990 Plan
provides for the issuance of up to 4,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock
in connection with stock options and other awards granted under such plan.
The 1990 Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory
stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, and the sale of
restricted stock. The exercise price for incentive stock options may not be
less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date
of grant. The exercise price for non-statutory stock options and stock
appreciation rights, and the purchase price of restricted stock, may not be
less than 75% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date
of grant. No consideration will be paid for stock bonuses awarded under the
1990 Plan. The 1990 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of
Directors. The committee has the authority to determine the employees to
whom awards will be made, the amount of the awards, and the other terms
and conditions of the awards. As of May 31, 1995, the committee has
granted substantially all non-statutory stock options at 100% of fair
market value on the date of grant under the 1990 Plan.
The following summarizes the stock option transactions under the 1980
Plan and 1990 Plan for the three fiscal years ended May 31, 1995:

NOTE 9 - BENEFIT PLANS:
The Company has a profit sharing plan available to substantially
all employees. The terms of the plan call for annual contributions
by the Company as determined by the Board of Directors. Contributions
of $11,200,000, $8,500,000 and $10,300,000 to the plan are included in
other expense in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended
May 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.The Company has a voluntary
401(k) employee savings plan. The Company matches a portion of employee
contributions vesting that portion over 5 years. Company contributions to
the savings plan were $3,363,000, $3,503,000 and $3,150,000 for the years
ended May 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 10 - OTHER INCOME/NET:
Included in other income for the years ended May 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, is interest income of $26,094,000, $19,064,000 and $15,377,000,
respectively. During the two fiscal years ending May 31, 1995 and 1994
the Company recognized $11,412,000 and $7,060,000, respectively in non-
recurring specific obligations associated with the shutdown of certain
facilities in conjunction with the consolidation of European warehouses.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company leases space for its offices, warehouses and retail
stores under leases expiring from one to fifteen years after May 31,
1995. Rent expense aggregated $43,506,000, $37,677,000 and $33,195,000
for the years ended May 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Amounts
of minimum future annual rental commitments under non-cancellable
operating leases in each of the five fiscal years 1996 through 2000 are

respectively, and $237,699,000 in later years.
Lawsuits arise during the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, none of the pending lawsuits will result in a significant
impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position.
25
NOTE 12 - ACQUISITION OF CANSTAR SPORTS INC.:
During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, NIKE acquired all the
outstanding shares of Canstar Sports Inc., the world's largest hockey
equipment manufacturer. The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The cash purchase price, including
acqusition costs, was approximately $409 million.
Canstar's assets and liabilities have been recorded in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill relating to the purchase
approximated $336 million with estimated useful lives ranging from 10
to 40 years. The amortization period is based on NIKE's belief that the
combined company has substantial potential for achieving long-term
appreciation of the fully integrated global company. Canstar will permit
the continued expansion of the current lines of business, as well as the
development of new businesses, which can be used to strategically exploit
the companies' brand names and products on an accelerated basis. NIKE
believes that the combined company will benefit from the acquisition for
an indeterminable period of time of at least 40 years and that therefore
a 40-year amortization period is appropriate. The proforma effect of the
acquisition on the combined results of operations was not significant.
26
NOTE 13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheet
for cash and equivalents and notes payable approximate fair value as
reported in the balance sheet because of their short maturities. The
fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, based on the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of the Company's long-term
debt at May 31, 1995, is approximately $9,891,000, compared to a carrying
value $10,565,000. See Note 14 for discussion of derivatives.
NOTE 14 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVES:
The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is
to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual dollar net cash
inflows resulting from the sale and purchase of products in foreign
currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The
Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
It is the Company's policy to utilize derivative financial instruments to
reduce foreign exchange risks where internal netting strategies cannot be
effectively employed. Fluctuations in the value of hedging instruments are
offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain firm
purchases and sales commitments and purchases currency options to hedge
certain anticipated but not yet firmly committed transactions denominated
in foreign currencies. Premiums paid on purchased options are included in
other assets and liabilities and recognized in earnings when the future
obligation being hedged is recognized. Deferred gains and losses on forward
exchange contracts are recognized in earnings when the future purchases and
sales being hedged are recognized. The estimated fair values of derivatives
used to hedge the Company's risks will fluctuate over time. The fair value
of the forward exchange contracts is estimated by obtaining quoted market
prices. The fair value of option contracts is estimated using option pricing
models widely used in the financial markets. These fair value amounts should
not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair values of the
underlying hedged trans-actions and the overall reduction in the Company's
exposure to adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The notional
amounts of derivatives summarized below do not necessarily represent amounts
exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a direct measure of the
exposure of the Company through its use of derivatives. The amounts exchanged
are calculated on the basis of the notional amounts and the other terms of
the derivatives, which relate to interest rates, exchange rates or other
financial indices.
The following table presents the aggregate notional principal amounts,
carrying values and fair values of the Company's derivative financial
instruments outstanding at May 31, 1995 and 1994 (in millions).
May 31, 1995 May 31, 1994
Notional Notional
Principal Carrying Fair Principal Carrying Fair
Amounts Values Values Amounts Values Values
Forward Contracts: $706.2 ($12.2) ($13.8) $376.7 $ - ($13.2)
Purchased Options 62.5 1.4 1.3 - - -
Total $768.7 ($13.8 ($12.5) $376.7 - ($13.2)
Net unrealized losses deferred at May 31, 1995 and 1994 were approximately
$11.4 and $13.2 million, respectively. At May 31, 1995 and May 31, 1994,
the Company had no contracts outstanding with maturities beyond one year.
The counterparties to derivative transactions are major financial institutions
with investment grade or better credit ratings; however, the Company is
exposed to credit risk with these institutions. This credit risk is generally
limited to the unrealized gains in such contracts should any of these
counterparties fail to perform as contracted. To manage this risk, the
Company has established strict counterparty credit guidelines which are
continually monitored and reported to Senior Management according to
prescribed guidelines. Additionally, the Company utilizes a portfolio of
financial institutions either headquartered or operating in the same
countries the Company conducts its business. As a result, the Company
considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
27
NOTE 15 - INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND OPERATIONS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA:
The Company operates predominantly in one industry segment, that
being the design, production, marketing and selling of sports and fitness
footwear, apparel and accessories. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, sales to
one major customer amounted to approximately 14% of total sales in those
years. The geographic distributions of the Company's identifiable assets,
