                      BIG DOG HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation:

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulations
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements.

     In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments,  consisting only of normal
recurring  entries  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.
Operating  results  for the  three month  period  ended  March 31,  1999 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1999. For further  information,  refer to the financial  statements
and  footnotes  thereto  for  Big  Dog  Holdings,  Inc.  and  its  wholly  owned
subsidiary,  Big Dog USA, Inc. (the "Company")  included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

NOTE 2. Short-term Borrowings

     The  Company has a borrowing  arrangement  with a bank  whereby the Company
may, from time to time and upon approval from the bank, borrow up to $8 million.
Such  borrowings  may be used for cash  advances  and  letters  of  credit.  The
borrowing  arrangement  provides for interest at the bank's prime rate less 3/8%
or 250 basis points over the LIBOR rate and is  collateralized  by substantially
all the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had no advances
and  $250,000 of letters of credit  outstanding.  The  letters of credit  expire
through December 31, 1999.

NOTE 3. Dividend Paid

     On March 6, 1999, the Company paid an annual  dividend to  stockholders  of
record at the close of business on February 22, 1999, in the amount of $0.10 per
share, totaling $1,210,000.

NOTE 4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133  establishes  accounting and
reporting  standards for derivative  instruments,  including certain  derivative
instruments   embedded  in  other   contracts   (collectively   referred  to  as
derivatives),  and for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity recognize
all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure  those  instruments  at fair value.  The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 133 in the year ending December 31, 2000. The Company  anticipates that
the  adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material  impact on the  Company's
financial statements.

     Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's  financial  statements  and  notes  related  thereto.   Certain  minor
differences  in the amounts  below result from  rounding of the amounts shown in
the consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998

     NET SALES. Net sales consist of sales from the Company's  stores,  catalog,
and wholesale accounts,  all net of returns and allowances.  Net sales increased
to $16.7  million for the three months  ended March 31, 1999 from $14.2  million
for the same  period in 1998,  an  increase  of $2.5  million  or 17.6%.  Of the
increase,  $1.6  million  was  attributable  to  stores  not yet  qualifying  as
comparable stores, $0.3 million from a 2.3% comparable stores sales increase and
$0.6 million from an increase in the Company's wholesale business.

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit  increased to $8.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from $7.7 million for the same period in 1998,  an increase
of $1.2 million or 15.6%. As a percentage of net sales,  gross profit  decreased
to 53.1% in the three  months ended March 31, 1999 from 53.8% in the same period
in 1998. This 0.7% decrease was due in part to a change in product sales mix and
an increase in lower-margined wholesale sales.

     SELLING,  MARKETING  AND  DISTRIBUTION  EXPENSES.  Selling,  marketing  and
distribution expenses consist of expenses associated with creating, distributing
and selling products through all channels of distribution,  including occupancy,
payroll  and  catalog  costs.  Selling,   marketing  and  distribution  expenses
increased  to $11.3  million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $10.5
million in the same period for 1998, an increase of $0.8 million,  or 7.6%. As a
percentage of net sales,  these expenses  decreased to 67.6% in the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from 73.5% in the same period in 1998. The 5.9% decrease in
selling,  marketing  and  distribution  expenses is  primarily  attributable  to
operating  efficiencies  achieved  with  respect to the  Company's  distribution
center.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  General and administrative  expenses
consist  of  administrative  salaries,   corporate  occupancy  costs  and  other
corporate  expenses.  General and  administrative  expenses remained constant at
$1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. As a percentage
of net sales,  these expenses  decreased to 7.3% in the three months ended March
31,  1999  from 8.1% in the same  period in 1998.  The  percentage  decrease  in
general and administrative expenses reflects the operating leverage of spreading
these expenses over a larger revenue base.

     INTEREST  INCOME.  Interest  income  decreased to $0.1 million in the three
months  ended  March  31,  1999 from $0.3  million  in the same  period in 1998,
principally due to lower cash balances in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the first quarter of 1999,  the Company's  primary uses of cash were
for merchandise  inventories,  income taxes and dividends paid to  stockholders.
The  Company  satisfied  its cash  requirements  primarily  from  cash flow from
operations and excess cash.

     Cash used in operating activities was $8.7 million and $9.0 million for the
first three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Cash used in  investment  activities  for the three  months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998 were $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.  Cash flows used
in  investment  activities in the first quarter of 1999 related to the build-out
of the second floor mezzanine at the Company's distribution facility and capital
additions  to the Company's existing  stores.  Cash  flows  used  in  investment
activities  in the first  quarter of 1998 related  primarily  to  build-out  and
equipment  purchases  related to the Company's  distribution  facility and 4 new
store openings.

     Cash used in financing  activities in the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 were $1.2 million and $1.0 million,  respectively.  In the three months
ended March 31, 1999, the Company paid an annual  dividend of $0.10 per share to
stockholders. In the same period of 1998, the Company repurchased 149,000 shares
of its common stock for a total purchase price of $988,000.

     The  Company has a borrowing  arrangement  with a bank  whereby the Company
may, from time to time and upon approval from the bank, borrow up to $8 million.
Such  borrowings  may be used for cash  advances  and  letters  of  credit.  The
borrowing  arrangement  provides for interest at the bank's prime rate less 3/8%
or 250 basis points over the LIBOR rate and is  collateralized  by substantially
all the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had no advances
and  $250,000 of letters of credit  outstanding.  The  letters of credit  expire
through December 31, 1999.

SEASONALITY

     The  Company  believes  its  seasonality  is somewhat  different  than many
apparel retailers since a significant number of the Company's stores are located
in tourist areas and outdoor malls that have different  visitation patterns than
urban and suburban retail centers.  The third and fourth quarters (consisting of
the summer vacation,  back-to-school  and Christmas  seasons) have  historically
accounted for the largest  percentage of the Company's annual sales and profits.
The Company has historically  incurred operating losses in its first quarter and
may be expected to do so in the foreseeable future.

YEAR 2000

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written to use
two  digits to define  year  dates.  Computer  programs  running  date-sensitive
software  may  recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000.  This  could  result  in  systems  failure  or   miscalculations   causing
disruptions of operations.

     In March 1999,  the Company  completed the upgrading of its major  software
systems to a new release which has been  certified as Year 2000  compliant.  The
Company has  substantially  completed  the internal  testing of its  information
technology  systems and will continue to monitor such systems through the summer
of  1999.  The  Company  has  also  addressed   internally  its  non-information
technology  related  systems and  expects no  significant  operational  problems
relating  to the  Year  2000  issues.  The  costs  of the  Company's  Year  2000
compliance  project are not expected to be material to the  Company's  financial
position.

     The Company has requested all  significant  third-party  vendors to certify
Year 2000  compliance.  While there can be no guaranty that such vendors will be
Year 2000 compliant,  the Company does not expect any material adverse impact on
its  business  operations  by the failure of any of its vendors to complete  any
required changes related to the Year 2000 date conversion.
