             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     ---------------------

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999
and the interim condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the thirteen
and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 and cash flows for
the twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 have been
prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, such
statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company at July 29, 2000 and July
31, 1999, and for all periods presented.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted from these interim financial statements. It is
suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January
29, 2000.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2000 was derived from
the Company's January 29, 2000 balance sheet included in the Company's 1999
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the
year ending February 3, 2001.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to
conform with the 2000 presentation.


2.   COMPREHENSIVE EARNINGS
     ----------------------

Comprehensive earnings include net earnings and other comprehensive earnings
(losses). Other comprehensive earnings (losses) include foreign currency
translation adjustments and fluctuations in the fair market value of certain
financial instruments. Comprehensive earnings for the thirteen and twenty-six
weeks ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 were as follows (in thousands):

3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE
     ------------------

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
includes the dilutive effect of the Company's potentially dilutive securities,
which include certain stock options, unvested shares of restricted stock, and
certain put options. The following summarizes the incremental shares from these
potentially dilutive securities, calculated using the treasury stock method.

</TABLE>

Excluded from the above computations of weighted-average shares for diluted
earnings per share were options to purchase 21,531,753 and 16,682,889 shares of
common stock during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000,
respectively, and 112,694 and 254,712 shares during the thirteen and twenty-six
weeks ended July 31, 1999, respectively. Additionally, put options to repurchase
375,000 shares during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000 were excluded
from the above computations. Issuance or repurchase of these securities would
have resulted in an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

4.   PUT OPTIONS
     -----------

During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased 375,000 shares
under put options contracts for approximately $14 million.

At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company was obligated under
a put option contract to repurchase 375,000 shares of the Company's stock. The
contract has an exercise price of $37.22 per share, with an expiration date of
October 23, 2000.

5.   TREASURY SHARES RETIREMENT
     --------------------------

During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company retired approximately 81
million treasury shares with a cost basis of approximately $642 million. This
retirement did not affect results of operations.

6.   LONG-TERM DEBT
     --------------

During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company issued $250 million of
debt securities at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month
LIBOR plus 0.125%, due November 15, 2001.
<PAGE>

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
    -----------------

In August 2000, the Company entered into two put option contracts. Each contract
was to repurchase 400,000 shares of the Company's stock. The exercise prices for
the contracts are $26.75 and $25.53 per share, with expiration dates of November
2000 and February 2001, respectively.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 The Gap, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of The
Gap, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 and the related
condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the thirteen and twenty-six
week periods ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 and condensed 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 reviews 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 of 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 reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of The
Gap, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 29, 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 23, 2000, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2000 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
was derived.

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

The information below contains certain forward-looking statements which reflect
the current view of Gap Inc. (the "Company") with respect to future events and
financial performance.  Wherever used, the words "expect," "plan," "anticipate,"
"believe," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and
the Company's actual results of operations could differ materially from
historical results or current expectations.  Some of these risks include,
without limitation, ongoing competitive pressures in the apparel industry, risks
associated with challenging international retail environments, changes in the
level of consumer spending or preferences in apparel, trade restrictions and
political or financial instability in countries where the Company's goods are
manufactured, and/or other factors that may be described in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K and/or other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Future economic and industry trends that could potentially impact
revenues and profitability are difficult to predict.

It is suggested that this document be read in conjunction with the Management's
Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended January 29, 2000.

The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-
looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any
projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.

</TABLE>

The increases in net sales for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2000
over the same periods last year were primarily attributable to the increase in
retail selling space, both through the opening of new stores (net of stores
closed) and the expansion of existing stores.

The company's second quarter comparable store sales by division were as follows:
Gap Domestic had a positive mid-single digit versus a negative low-single digit
last year, Gap International had a positive low-single digit versus positive
low-double digits last year, Banana Republic had a flat comp versus positive
low-teens last year, Old Navy had negative low-double digits versus positive
low-twenties last year.

Old Navy's second quarter comparable store sales were negatively impacted by
logistics issues which resulted in lower in-store inventory levels than
originally planned and traffic weakness.

The company's year-to-date comparable store sales by division were as follows:
Gap Domestic had a flat comp versus a positive low-single digit last year, Gap
International had a positive low-single digit versus positive high-teens last
year, Banana Republic had a positive low-single digit versus positive low-teens
last year, Old Navy had a negative mid-single digit versus positive low-twenties
last year.

The decreases in net sales per average square foot for the second quarter and
first half of fiscal 2000 were primarily attributable to the decreases in
comparable store sales and the growing impact of the Old Navy division.  Old
Navy division's lower-priced merchandise and significantly larger stores result
in lower net sales per average square foot when compared to other divisions.

Cost of Goods Sold and Occupancy Expenses

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales increased
3.5 and 1.8 percentage points in the second quarter and first half of fiscal
2000, respectively, from the same periods in 1999.  The increases were driven by
decreased merchandise margin and increased occupancy expenses as a percentage of
net sales.

For both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2000, the decreases in
merchandise margin as a percentage of net sales were primarily attributable to a
greater percentage of merchandise sold at markdown and lower margins from
marked-down goods, slightly offset by higher margins from regular-priced goods
when compared to the same periods last year.  The increases in occupancy
expenses as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter and first half of
fiscal 2000 were primarily attributable to the decreases in net sales per
average square foot.


Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.8 and 0.2 percentage
points in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2000, respectively, from
the same periods in 1999.  The improvements were primarily attributable to lower
advertising costs and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
partially offset by higher store payroll as a percentage of net sales.
<PAGE>

Net Interest Expense

The increases in net interest expense in the second quarter and first half of
fiscal 2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999 were primarily due to
increased interest costs from an increase in short-term borrowings and the
issuance of long-term debt during the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and the
second quarter of fiscal 2000, partially offset by additional interest
capitalized during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2000.


Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 36.5 percent for the second quarter and first half of
fiscal 2000, and 37.5 percent for the second quarter and first half of fiscal
1999.  The decrease in the tax rate resulted from the Company's implementation
of global tax planning initiatives based on long-term business needs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following sets forth certain measures of the Company's liquidity:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                     Twenty-six Weeks Ended

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash provided by operating activities ($000)          $ 68,773        $294,542

Working capital ($000)                                $383,630        $378,478

Current ratio                                           1.16:1          1.21:1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000, the decrease in cash flows
provided by operating activities, compared to the same period in the prior year,
was primarily attributable to an increase in merchandise inventory, a decrease
in tax benefit from the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted
stock and a decrease in the relative growth in accounts payable and accrued
expenses compared to the same period in the prior year partially offset by an
increase in net earnings exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

The Company funds inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through
a combination of cash flows provided by operations and short-term financing
arrangements.  The Company's business follows a seasonal pattern, peaking over a
total of about 13 weeks during the Back-to-School and Holiday periods.

The Company has committed credit facilities totaling $1.35 billion, consisting
of an $1.20 billion, 364-day revolving credit facility, and a $150 million, 5-
year revolving credit facility through June 27, 2005.  These credit facilities
provide for the issuance of up to $600 million in letters of credit and provide
backup for the Company's $750 million commercial paper program.  The Company has
additional uncommitted credit facilities of $650 million for the issuance of
letters of credit.  At July 29, 2000, the Company had outstanding letters of
credit totaling approximately $1.14 billion.  The Company had $717 million of
commercial paper and $119 million in Extendable Commercial Notes outstanding at
July 29, 2000.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company issued $250 million of
debt securities at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month
LIBOR plus 0.125%, due November 15, 2001.

For the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000, capital expenditures, net of
construction allowances and dispositions, totaled approximately $791 million.
The majority of these expenditures were used for expansion of the store base,
headquarter and distribution facilities.  During the first half of fiscal 2000,
the Company experienced a net increase in store space of approximately 2,954,000
square feet, or 12 percent, due to the addition of 296 new stores, the expansion
of 72 stores and the remodeling of certain stores.

For fiscal 2000, the Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately
$1.8 billion, net of construction allowances. This represents the addition of
640 to 700 new stores, the expansion of approximately 200 stores, the remodeling
of certain stores, as well as amounts for headquarters facilities, distribution
centers and equipment.  The Company expects to fund such capital expenditures
with cash flow from operations and other sources of financing.  Square footage
growth is expected to be close to 30 percent.  By division, the 640 to 700 new
stores are expected to be: Gap Domestic 320 to 340 stores, Banana Republic 40 to
60 stores, Old Navy 150 to 160 stores and Gap International 130 to 140 stores.
New stores are generally expected to be leased.

During 1998, the Company purchased land on which to construct additional
headquarter facilities in San Francisco and San Bruno, California.  The
estimated total project costs are approximately $240 million and $100 million,
respectively. Construction commenced on the San Francisco facility during the
third quarter of 1998 and is estimated to continue through early 2001.
Construction commenced during the first quarter of 1999 on the San Bruno
facility and is estimated to continue through late 2000.
<PAGE>

The Company commenced construction on several distribution facilities in 1999.
The estimated total cost for the remaining facilities is approximately $223
million.  The majority of the expenditures will be incurred during fiscal 2000.
The facilities are expected to be open in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

The Company commenced construction on several distribution facilities in the
second quarter of 2000.  The estimated total cost for these facilities is
approximately $224 million.  The majority of the expenditures will be incurred
during fiscal 2000.  The facilities are expected to be open in the third quarter
of fiscal 2001.

The Company took possession of a distribution site and building in Ontario,
Canada during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to support the initial
international expansion plans for the Old Navy business.  The Company will spend
the next year remodeling the facility prior to its anticipated opening date in
mid-2001.  The estimated total project cost is approximately $89 million.

In the first half of fiscal 2000, under the 67.5 million share repurchase
program approved in October 1998, the Company acquired approximately 8.4 million
shares for approximately $324 million, including 0.4 million shares acquired
under put option contracts for approximately $14 million.

In August 2000, the Company entered into two put option contracts.  Each
contract was to repurchase 400,000 shares of the Company's stock.  The exercise
prices for the contracts are $26.75 and $25.53 per share, with expiration dates
of November 2000 and February 2001, respectively.

The Company operates in foreign countries which exposes it to market risk
associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.  The Company's risk
management policy is to hedge substantially all merchandise purchases for
foreign operations through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to
minimize this risk.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The market risk of the Company's financial instruments as of July 29, 2000 has
not significantly changed since January 29, 2000.

Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


                                    PART II

                               OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
--------------------------

The Company has been named as a defendant in two lawsuits relating to sourcing
of products from Saipan (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands).  A
complaint was filed on January 13, 1999 in California Superior Court in San
Francisco by the Union of Needletrades Industrial and Textile Employees, AFL-
CIO; Global Exchange; Sweatshop Watch; and Asian Law Caucus against the Company
and 17 other parties.  The plaintiffs allege violations of California's
unlawful, fraudulent and unfair business practices and untrue and misleading
advertising statutes in connection with labeling of product and labor practices
regarding workers of factories that make product for the Company in Saipan.  The
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement of profits and
other damages. Trial has not been set in the state case.

A second complaint was filed on January 13, 1999 in Federal District Court,
Central District of California, by various unidentified worker plaintiffs
against the Company and 25 other parties.  Those unidentified worker plaintiffs
seek class-action status and allege, among other things, that the Company (and
other defendants) violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
Act in connection with the labor practices and treatment of workers of factories
in Saipan that make product for the Company.  The plaintiffs seek injunctive
relief as well as actual and punitive damages.  On September 29, 1999 the action
was transferred to the United States District Court, State of Hawaii. On April
28, 2000, plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint adding 22 new defendants.
On June 23, 2000, the United States District Court, State of Hawaii, ordered the
case transferred to the United States District Court, District of the Mariana
Islands.  On April 22, 1999 the Company, along with several other defendants,
filed a motion in Federal District Court, Central District of California, to
dismiss the case.  In light of the transfer order, that motion will be reset for
hearing in the District of the Mariana Islands.
