             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


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

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 29, 2000 and May 1, 1999
and the interim condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for
the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000 and May 1, 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 April 29, 2000 and May 1, 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. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should 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 thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the
year ending February 3, 2001.

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 weeks ended April
29, 2000 and May 1, 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 additional dilutive effect of the Company's potentially dilutive
securities, which include certain stock options and unvested shares of
restricted stock. The following summarizes the incremental shares from these
potentially dilutive securities, calculated using the treasury stock method.

                                                                 Thirteen Weeks Ended

     Weighted-average number of  shares - basic               850,325,670          854,464,568

     Incremental shares resulting from:
         Stock options                                         36,951,619           42,431,804
         Restricted stock                                         742,877            3,147,367
                                                        ------------------    -----------------

     Weighted-average number of shares - diluted              888,020,166          900,043,739
                                                        ==================    =================
</TABLE>

Excluded from the above computation of weighted-average shares for diluted
earnings per share were options to purchase 2,475,924 and 236,906 shares of
common stock during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000 and May 1, 1999,
respectively. Additionally, put options to repurchase 750,000 shares during the
thirteen weeks ended April 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
     -----------

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company was obligated under
various put option contracts to repurchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company's
stock. The contracts have exercise prices ranging from $37.00 to $40.00 per
share, with expiration dates through October 2000.

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

In March 2000, the Company retired approximately 81 million treasury shares with
a cost basis of approximately $642 million. The retirement of such treasury
shares did not affect results of operations.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT
     ----------------

In May 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.

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 April 29, 2000 and May 1, 1999, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the thirteen
week periods ended April 29, 2000 and May 1, 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 of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 such condensed 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 sheets 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
has been 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 increase in net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 over the same
period last year was 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 decrease in net sales per average square foot for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 was primarily attributable to a decrease 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.

During the first quarter, the company's comparable store sales by division were
as follows: Gap Domestic turned in a negative mid-single digit versus a positive
mid-single digit last year, Gap International had a positive mid-single digit
versus positive high-twenties last year, Banana Republic had a positive
mid-single digit versus positive low-teens last year, Old Navy turned in a
negative low-single digit versus positive low-twenties last year.

Cost of Goods Sold and Occupancy Expenses

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales for the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 was unchanged from the same period in 1999.
Improvements in merchandise margin as a percentage of net sales were offset by
an increase in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales.

The increase in merchandise margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily
attributable to a greater percentage of merchandise sold at regular price and
higher margins from regular-priced goods when compared to the same period last
year. The increase in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales was
primarily attributable to the decrease in net sales per average square foot.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 0.5 percentage points
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The
increase was primarily attributable to higher store payroll as a percentage of
net sales partially offset by lower advertising costs as a percentage of net
sales.

Net Interest Expense

The increase in net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as
compared to the same period in 1999 was 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 to support the Company's
international expansion plans, partially offset by additional interest
capitalized during the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 36.5 percent and 37.5 percent for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively. 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:

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

                                              ----------------------------------
                                                April 29, 2000      May 1, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash provided by operating activities ($000)           $40,332         $141,980

Working capital ($000)                                $374,893         $520,992

Current ratio                                           1.18:1           1.37:1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, the decrease in cash flows provided
by operating activities, compared to the same period in the prior year, was
attributable to the increase in merchandise inventory and the 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 billion, consisting of
an $850 million, 364-day revolving credit facility, and a $150 million, 5-year
revolving credit facility through June 28, 2003. These credit facilities provide
for the issuance of up to $500 million in letters of credit and provide backup
for the Company's $500 million commercial paper program. The Company has
additional uncommitted credit facilities of $520 million for the issuance of
letters of credit. At April 29, 2000, the Company had outstanding letters of
credit totaling approximately $959 million. The Company had $471 million of
commercial paper outstanding at April 29, 2000.

In May 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 thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, capital expenditures, net of
construction allowances and dispositions, totaled approximately $319 million.
The majority of these expenditures were used for expansion of the store base,
headquarter and distribution facilities. During the first quarter of fiscal
2000, the Company experienced a net increase in store space of approximately
1,541,000 square feet, or 6 percent, due to the addition of 133 new stores, the
expansion of 24 stores and the remodeling of certain stores.

For fiscal 2000, the Company expects capital expenditures to exceed $1.6
billion, net of construction allowances. This represents the addition of 600 to
660 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 in the mid-20 percent range. By division, the 600 to
660 new stores are expected to be: Gap Domestic 320 to 340 stores, Banana
Republic 40 to 60 stores, Old Navy 120 to 130 stores and Gap International 120
to 130 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.

                                       11

The Company commenced construction on several distribution facilities in 1999.
The estimated total cost for the remaining facilities is approximately $215
million. Majority of the expenditures will be incurred during fiscal 2000. The
facilities are expected to be open in mid-2000.

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.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, under the 67.5 million share repurchase
program approved in October 1998, the Company acquired approximately 3.8 million
shares for approximately $163 million.

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.
