INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Administrative Committee and Participants of
 GapShare:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of GapShare (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the
Table of Contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not
a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the basic 1999 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     GapShare (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan which was established
     to provide a source of retirement savings to participants and to enable
     participants to defer a portion of their compensation. The following brief
     description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only.
     Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description and official Plan
     documents for more complete information.

     The Plan qualifies under sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Internal
     Revenue Code of 1986. Full time and part time employees of The Gap, Inc.
     (the "Company") and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the
     Plan upon attaining the age of twenty-one and after one year of employment
     with the Company completing a minimum of 1,000 hours of service.

     The minimum level of participant contributions is 1% of total compensation
     on a pre-tax or after-tax basis. Total contributions may not exceed a
     maximum of 16% of total compensation on a pre-tax basis or 21% of total
     compensation on an after-tax basis. The maximum allowable contributions
     qualifying for deferral for individual income tax purposes was $10,000 for
     the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

     Company contributions are made according to a matching formula established
     prior to the beginning of each Plan year. For 1999 and 1998, the formula
     provided for $1 of Company contributions for each $1 of participant basic
     contributions, up to a maximum of 4% of the participants total compensation
     on a pre-tax or after-tax basis. A participant's aggregate annual
     contribution may not exceed 25% of the participant's taxable compensation
     for the year or $30,000, whichever is less.

     Participants who earned greater than $80,000 in 1997 were not allowed to
     contribute greater than a 6% combined pre-tax and after-tax contribution
     during 1998. Effective January 1, 1999, the Plan adopted a Safe Harbor
     amendment allowing all participants to defer up to 16% of total
     compensation on a pre-tax basis or 21% of total compensation on an after-
     tax basis. The maximum compensation allowable for Plan allocation purposes
     was $160,000 for both years.

     Investments of participant and Company contributions are allocated to the
     funds as elected by the participant. Contribution allocations to the Gap
     Stock Fund may not exceed 50% of total contributions. Allocations of each
     fund's earnings are based on participant account balances in those funds.
     Participants may transfer accumulated account balances between funds at any
     time.

                                      -4-

     Investment Options - Effective January 1, 1998, American Express Trust
     Company was appointed Trustee.

     At December 31, 1998 and 1999, the Plan's assets were invested in the
     following funds:

      .   IDS Cash Management Fund - A money market fund that seeks maximum
          current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal by
          investing in high-quality money market securities.

      .   IDS Bond Fund - A mutual fund that seeks to achieve current income and
          preservation of capital. The fund invests mainly in high-quality
          corporate bonds and U.S. government securities.

      .   IDS Growth Fund - A mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth by
          investing in a portfolio of common stocks of companies that have
          above-average potential for long-term growth as a result of new
          management, marketing opportunities or technological superiority.

      .   American Express Trust Equity Index II - A collective fund with the
          objective to achieve a total rate of return as close as possible to
          that of the S&P 500 Index.

      .   Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund - A mutual fund that seeks long-term
          capital growth by investing primarily in companies in emerging growth
          phases.

      .   Domini Social Equity Fund - A mutual fund that seeks long-term total
          return corresponding with performance of the Domini Social index,
          which consists of approximately 400 companies that meet certain social
          criteria. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks in the
          index. To construct the index, the fund adviser selects companies in
          the S&P 500 Index based on social responsibility. The index also
          typically includes about 150 companies not included in the S&P 500.

      .   Janus World Wide Fund - A diversified mutual fund that seeks long-term
          capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of foreign and
          domestic companies. Janus World Wide Fund normally, but not always,
          invests in issuers from at least five different countries, including
          the United States.

      .   Gap Stock Fund - The Gap Stock Fund is invested in common shares of
          The Gap, Inc., and a small amount of short-term investments. This fund
          may provide the greatest potential for either loss or gain since it is
          invested in the common stock of a single company. The Trustee buys
          shares of Gap Stock in the open market. Shares are also purchased from
          Plan participants who transfer their accounts out of the Gap Stock
          Fund or who take distributions or withdrawals from the Gap Stock Fund
          in the form of cash. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Gap Stock Fund
          held 6,482,712 shares and 4,973,775 shares, respectively, of The Gap,
          Inc. stock.

     Vesting - Effective January 1, 1999, the Board of Directors approved the
     immediate vesting of all active employees in all past and future employer
     contributions. Participant contributions and earnings thereon are fully
     vested. Prior to January 1, 1999, the first $600 of Company contributions
     each year and earnings thereon were fully vested. Beyond the first $600,
     Company contributions and earnings thereon were 20% vested after three
     years of employee service. The portion vested increased by 20% for each
     additional year of service. After seven years of service the Company
     contributions were fully vested. Participants terminating before

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     achieving seven years of service forfeited the nonvested portion. Amounts
     forfeited were applied as a reduction of future employer contributions.

     Participant Loans - Participants may apply to receive a loan up to the
     lesser of 50% of their vested account or $50,000, minus the highest balance
     of any other loan outstanding in the preceding 12 months. The minimum
     participants may borrow is $1,000. Such loans are repaid through payroll
     deductions for up to a period of five years, unless the loan is for the
     purchase or construction of a principal residence, in which case terms
     range from five to fifteen years. If an unpaid loan balance exists at the
     time a participant leaves the Company and withdraws from the Plan, it must
     be repaid by the participant or deducted from the participant's total
     distribution. The fixed interest rate charged is 1% over the current prime
     rate as stated in The Wall Street Journal, in effect at the time the loan
     is made. Administrative fees charged to participants upon setup are $30 for
     loans to be repaid within five years and $50 for loans with longer
     repayment periods. As of December 31, 1999 there were 4,202 such loans,
     with interest rates ranging from 7% to 11% maturing from 2000 to 2015.

     Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of employment, a participant may
     elect to have vested portions distributed either in a lump sum payment or,
     if greater than $5,000, deferred until the participant is the age of sixty-
     two. Deferred account balances may be invested in any of the funds, subject
     to normal restrictions.

     Administrative Expenses - The Plan's administrative expenses are paid by
     the Company and are not included in the Plan's financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
     under the accrual method of accounting.

     Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The current fair value of
     common stock is determined by the closing market quotation at the end of
     the year. Pooled investment funds are valued by the trustee at fair market
     value at the end of each plan year. Participant loans are carried at
     amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
     Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on
     the ex-dividend date.

     Payment of Benefits - Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

     Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
     available for benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
     at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
     additions to and deductions from net assets available for benefits during
     the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     New Accounting Pronouncement - In 1999, the Plan adopted Statement of
     Position 99-3, Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution
     Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters issued by the Accounting
     Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public
     Accountants. Accordingly, previously required "by-fund" disclosures have
     been eliminated.

3. TAX EXEMPT STATUS

     The Plan qualifies as a profit sharing plan under Section 401(a) of the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), with a qualified cash or
     deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, and, accordingly,
     the Plan's net investment income is exempt from income taxes. The Plan has
     obtained a favorable tax determination letter from the Internal Revenue
     Service dated September 15, 1998. The Plan sponsor believes that the Plan
     continues to qualify for tax exempt status.

4. PLAN TERMINATION

     The Plan is intended to be permanent; however, in the event of the earlier
     of the termination of the Plan or the complete and permanent discontinuance
     of contributions by the Company, the accounts of all participants shall
