                      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,  2000 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000. 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, 1999.

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, 2000, the Company had no advances
and  $976,000 of letters of credit  outstanding.  The  letters of credit  expire
through December 31, 2000.

NOTE 3. Dividend Paid

         On March 27, 2000, the Company paid an annual  dividend to stockholders
of record at the close of business on March 11, 2000, in the amount of $0.10 per
share, totaling $1,200,000.

NOTE 4. Stockholder's Equity

         In March 1998,  the Company  announced  that its Board  authorized  the
repurchase of up to $10,000,000  of its common stock.  Between April 1, 2000 and
May 12, 2000, the Company repurchased 19,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 5. 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.

ITEM 2:

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         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, 2000 and 1999

         NET  SALES.  Net sales  consist  of sales  from the  Company's  stores,
catalog,  internet  website,  and  wholesale  accounts,  all net of returns  and
allowances.  Net sales  decreased  to $16.6  million for the three  months ended
March 31, 2000 from $16.7  million  for the same  period in 1999,  a decrease of
$0.1 million or 0.6%. Of the decrease,  $0.5 million was  attributable to a 3.4%
comparable  stores  sales  decrease  and $0.5  million  from a  decrease  in the
Company's wholesale business, net of $0.9 million from stores not yet qualifying
as comparable stores.

         GROSS  PROFIT.  Gross  profit  increased  to $9.2 million for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 from $8.9  million for the same period in 1999,  an
increase of $0.3  million or 3.4%.  As a percentage  of net sales,  gross profit
increased  to 55.2% in the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from 53.1% in the
same period in 1999.  This 2.1%  increase was  primarily due in part to improved
sourcing and purchasing of products.

         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 $11.8  million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $11.3
million in the same period for 1999, an increase of $0.5 million,  or 4.4%. As a
percentage of net sales,  these expenses  increased to 71.1% in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from 67.6% in the same period in 1999, an increase of 3.5%.
The  increase in  selling,  marketing  and  distribution  expenses is  primarily
attributable to additional operating costs of $0.8 million related to the 15 new
stores  open  in the  first  quarter  2000,  offset  by  insurance  proceeds  of
approximately $0.3 million.

         GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE   EXPENSES.   General  and  administrative
expenses consist of administrative salaries, corporate occupancy costs and other
corporate  expenses.  General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $1.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $1.2 million for the same
period 1999, an increase of $0.1 million, or 8.3%. As a percentage of net sales,
these  expenses  increased to 8.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from
7.3% in the  same  period  in 1999.  The  percentage  increase  in  general  and
administrative  expenses is primarily  attributable  of spreading these expenses
over a smaller revenue base.

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased to $0.2 million in the three
months  ended  March  31,  2000 from $0.1  million  in the same  period in 1999,
principally due to higher average cash balances in 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the first quarter of 2000,  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 $15.3  million and $8.7 million
for the first three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The $6.6
million increase was primarily due to an earlier purchasing of inventory for the
first three months in 2000.

         Cash used in investment activities for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 were $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  Cash flows used
in  investment  activities  in the first  quarter of 2000  primarily  related to
capital  additions  to  the  Company's  existing  stores.  Cash  flows  used  in
investment  activities  in the first  quarter of 1999  related  primarily 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 used in financing  activities  in the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 were constant at $1.2 million. In the three months ended March 31,
2000 and  1999,  the  Company  paid an  annual  dividend  of $0.10  per share to
stockholders.

         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, 2000, the Company had no advances
and  $976,000 of letters of credit  outstanding.  The  letters of credit  expire
through December 31, 2000.

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 upgrade of its major software
systems  to a new  release  which has been  certified  as Year  2000  compliant.
Additionally  during 1999,  the Company  completed  the internal  testing of its
information  technology  systems and  addressed its  non-information  technology
related systems.  The Company has requested all significant  third-party vendors
to certify Year 2000 compliance. The costs of the Company's Year 2000 compliance
project were not material to the Company's financial position.

         The Company has not experienced  significant Year  2000-related  issues
over the Year 2000  transition.  Although the Company  believes it has taken the
appropriate steps to address Year 2000 readiness, there is no guarantee that the
Company's  efforts  will  prevent a material  adverse  impact on the  results of
operations and financial condition.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING DISCLOSURE

         Certain sections of this Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q,  including the
preceding  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations,"  contain various forward looking  statements  within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended,  which  represents  the
Company's  expectations  or beliefs  concerning  future  events.  These  forward
looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, and the Company cautions that
these  statements  are further  qualified by important  factors that could cause
actual  results  to  differ   materially  from  those  in  the  forward  looking
statements.  Primary  factors that could cause actual  results to differ include
those  listed in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1999
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
