             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Too, Inc. (referred to herein as "the Company") is a specialty retailer
         that sells apparel, underwear, sleepwear, swimwear, lifestyle and
         personal care products for fashion-aware, trend-setting young girls
         ages seven to fourteen years. The consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of Too, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and
         reflect the Company's assets, liabilities, results of operations and
         cash flows on a historical cost basis.

         The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as
         of July 29, 2000 and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended
         July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, are presented to comply with the rules
         and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
         these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained
         in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of
         management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements
         reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature)
         necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
         operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not
         necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal
         year.

         Prior to August 23, 1999, the Company operated as a wholly owned
         subsidiary of The Limited, Inc. Effective August 23, 1999, The Limited
         distributed to its shareholders of record as of August 11, 1999, all of
         its interest in Too, Inc. on the basis of one share of Too, Inc. common
         stock for each seven shares of The Limited, Inc. common stock (the
         "Spin-off"). The Spin-off resulted in 30.7 million shares of Too, Inc.
         common stock outstanding as of August 23, 1999. As a result of the
         Spin-off, the Company became an independent, separately traded, public
         company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

         The consolidated financial statements as of July 29, 2000, and for the
         thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000, and July 31, 1999
         included herein have been reviewed by the independent public accounting
         firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the report of such firm follows
         the notes to consolidated financial statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers
         LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the
         Securities Act of 1933 for its report on the consolidated financial
         statements because that report is not a "report" within the meaning of
         Sections 7 and 11 of that Act.


2.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
         Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
         occur if stock options or restricted stock were converted to common
         stock using the treasury stock method.

         Earnings per share, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of
         Income, for periods prior to and including the Spin-off was calculated
         by dividing net income by the 30.7 million common shares issued in
         connection with the Spin-off as if these shares were outstanding for
         such periods.

         Options to purchase 124,000 shares of common shares were not included
         in the computation of net income per diluted share for the thirteen and
         twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2000 because the options'
         exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common
         shares.


3.       INVENTORIES

         The fiscal year of the Company is comprised of two principal selling
         seasons: Spring (the first and second quarters) and Fall (the third and
         fourth quarters). Inventories are principally valued at the lower of
         average cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis utilizing the
         retail method. Inventory valuation at the end of the first and third
         quarters reflects adjustments for inventory markdowns and shrinkage
         estimates for the total selling season.

5.       RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIMITED

         In connection with the Spin-off, the Company entered into a service
         agreement with Limited Distribution Services, a wholly owned subsidiary
         of The Limited, to provide distribution services to us covering flow of
         merchandise from factory to our stores for up to three years after the
         date of Spin-off. Most of the merchandise and related materials for the
         Company's stores are shipped to a distribution center owned by The
         Limited in Columbus, Ohio, where the merchandise is received,
         inspected, allocated and packed for shipment to stores. Under the
         service agreement, The Limited distributes merchandise and related
         materials using common and contract carriers to the Company's stores.
         Inbound freight is charged to Too based upon actual receipts and
         related charges, while outbound freight is charged based on a
         percentage of cartons shipped.

         Additionally, The Limited provides to us certain transitional services
         principally related to management information systems. Agreements
         covering such services were generally effective through the first
         anniversary date of the Spin-off. Also, our main offices are owned by
         Distribution Land Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Limited and
         leased to us with a lease term expiring in August 2002.

         Our largest apparel supplier has been Mast Industries, Inc., a wholly
         owned subsidiary of The Limited. Mast Industries supplied approximately
         33% of the apparel that we purchased in 1999. We believe that all
         transactions that we have entered into with Mast Industries have been
         on terms that would have been obtained on an arm's length basis since
         we treat them as if they were a third party. We were not, and will not
         be, obligated to source products through Mast Industries.

         Amounts payable to The Limited, including merchandise payables to Mast
         Industries, amounted to approximately $11.4 million at July 29, 2000.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Too, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Too, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 29, 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of income for the thirteen week and twenty-six week
periods ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 and the consolidated statements of
cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2000 and July 31,
1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 17,
2000 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet information as of January 29, 2000, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
        FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2000, were $108.4 million, an
increase of 25%, from $86.9 million for the comparable period of 1999. Gross
income increased 22% to $34.9 million from $28.6 million in 1999 and operating
income more than doubled to $3.6 million from $1.7 million in 1999. Net income
was $1.9 million, an increase of 394%, from $389,000 on an adjusted basis for
the comparable period ended July 31, 1999. The adjusted results for 1999 reflect
interest expense, net of the related tax benefit, on the Company's borrowings
under the credit facility as if it were in place as of the beginning of the
year. Diluted earnings per share increased to $.06, compared to 1999 adjusted
diluted earnings per share of $.01 and 1999 historical diluted earnings per
share of $.03.

Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000, increased 25% to $227.2
million from $181.9 million for the comparable period in 1999. Gross income
increased 24% to $74.6 million from $60.3 million in 1999 and operating income
increased 113% to $9.2 million from $4.3 million in 1999. Year-to-date diluted
earnings per share increased to $.16 versus 1999 adjusted diluted earnings per
share of $.04 and 1999 historical diluted earnings per share of $.09.

1)        Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share include
          interest expense and financing fees, net of the related tax benefit,
          on approximately $52 million of average indebtedness representing debt
          incurred under the credit facility which was used to pay a $50 million
          dividend to The Limited in connection with the Spin-off.

2)        The tax benefit is related to adjusted interest expense arising from
          the credit facility at an estimated effective tax rate of
          approximately 40%.

3)        As no shares were outstanding prior to the Spin-off, weighted average
          diluted shares as calculated during the current period were used in
          comparable prior periods to determine adjusted earnings per diluted
          share.

</TABLE>


(1)      A store is included in our comparable store sales calculation once it
         has completed 52 weeks of operation. Further, stores that are expanded
         more than 20% in square feet are treated as new stores for purposes of
         this calculation.

(2)      Retail sales per average square foot is the result of dividing net
         sales for the fiscal quarter by average gross square feet, which
         reflects the impact of opening and closing stores throughout the
         quarter.

NET SALES

Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 increased 25% to $108.4 million from
$86.9 million in 1999. The net sales increase was attributable to a 9% increase
in comparable store sales, with the balance due to the net addition of 41 new
stores since the end of the second quarter 1999, remodeled stores and
approximately $1.5 million in sales from the catalog and e-commerce sales
channels.

Year-to-date net sales were $227.2, a 25% increase over 1999 year-to-date sales
of $181.9. The increase was due to a 10% increase in comparable store sales, the
net addition of 41 new stores, remodeled stores and approximately $3.4 million
in sales from the catalog and e-commerce sales channels.

Within merchandise categories for both the quarter and year-to-date periods,
Active pants, shorts, jackets and graphic tees all showed significant sales
increases as did the Add-on category (principally underwear/bras, sleepwear and
swimwear).

                                       11

GROSS INCOME

Gross income, expressed as a percentage of sales, was 32.2%, a decline of 70
basis points from a gross income rate of 32.9% for the second quarter of 1999.
This decrease in rate was due to catalog costs, which were not incurred during
the second quarter of 1999, being partially offset by higher merchandise
margins. Merchandise margins increased as higher initial mark-ups were partially
offset by higher markdowns.

For the year-to-date period, the gross income rate decreased 30 basis points to
32.9% in 2000 from a 33.2% rate in 1999 as the impact of Catalog costs, which
were not incurred in 1999, were only partially offset by higher merchandise
margins.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND STORE OPERATING EXPENSES

General, administrative and store operating expense, expressed as a percentage
of net sales, decreased to 28.9% in the second quarter of 2000 from 31.0% for
the same period in 1999. On a year-to-date basis, general, administrative and
store operating expense decreased by 200 basis points to 28.8% in 2000 from
30.8% in 1999. The decrease during the quarter and year-to-date periods was due
to the leveraging of store expenses arising from higher per store productivity
as well as lower cost allocations from The Limited. These decreases in expenses
were partially offset by higher distribution center costs.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income, expressed as a percentage of net sales, increased to 3.3% in
2000 compared to 2.0% in 1999. Year-to-date operating income increased to 4.1%
in 2000 compared to 2.4% in 1999. The increase in operating income for both the
quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily due to the decrease in general,
administrative and store operating expenses.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense amounted to $477,000 and $849,000 for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ending July 29, 2000, respectively. No net interest expense
was recorded in the comparable periods of 1999. Interest expense, including the
amortization of financing fees, amounted to $1,245,000 and $2,479,000 for the
quarter and year-to-date periods ending July 29, 2000, respectively. Interest
expense was partially offset by interest income of $768,000 and $1,630,000 for
the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. Interest income was earned
on short-term investments in commercial paper and money market instruments.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense amounted to $1.2 million and $3.3 million for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ending July 29, 2000, respectively, compared to $700,000
and $1.7 million for the comparable periods in 1999. We anticipate that the
annual effective tax rate will remain unchanged at 40% in fiscal 2000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided from operating activities and the revolving portion of our $100
million credit facility provide the resources to support operations, including
projected growth, seasonal working capital requirements and capital
expenditures.

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $11.8 million for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000 versus net cash used for operating
activities of $10.9 million for the same period in 1999. The change in net cash
used for operating activities was primarily driven by a net decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses versus the comparable period in 1999. These
decreases were partially offset by cash provided by higher net income and an
increase in depreciation and amortization.

Investing activities represented capital expenditures, which were primarily for
new and remodeled stores.

Financing activities principally represented proceeds from employee stock option
exercises and the issuance of restricted stock.

A summary of the Company's working capital position and capitalization follows
(thousands).

</TABLE>



In August 1999, we entered into a five-year, $100 million collateralized Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility consists of a $50 million five-year term loan and
a $50 million, five-year annual revolving credit commitment. The Credit
Facility's interest rates, which reflect matrix pricing, are based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate or Prime plus a spread as defined in the agreement. The
term loan is interest only until the end of the third year at which time the
amortization of the outstanding principle balance will begin. The Credit
Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as certain
affirmative, negative and financial covenants.

No amounts were borrowed against the $50 million revolving credit commitment
during the quarter ended July 29, 2000.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures, primarily for new and remodeled stores, totaled $17.1
million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000 compared to $16.7 million
for the comparable period of 1999. The Company anticipates spending
approximately $40 to $50 million in 2000 for capital expenditures principally
for the construction of approximately 55 new stores and the remodel of 10
existing stores along with $12 to $15 million for our new Home Office and
Distribution Center facilities. Our store expansion and remodel program should
add approximately 210,000 to 230,000 gross square feet during 2000 representing
a 15% to 16% increase over year-end 1999. The Company expects that capital
expenditures will be funded principally by net cash provided by operating
activities.
