                            THE GYMBOREE CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION 
         The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of The Gymboree
     Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company") as of and for
     the period ended May 2, 1998 and May 3, 1997 have been prepared pursuant to
     the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations,
     although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
     information presented not misleading. It is recommended that these
     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 31, 1998.

         The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
     adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
     statement of the results for the interim periods presented and necessary to
     present fairly the results of operations, the financial position and cash
     flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and
     recurring nature. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
     conform with the current year presentation.

2.   MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES
         Merchandise inventories are recorded under the retail method of
     accounting and are stated at the lower of cost or market.

3.   INCOME TAXES
         The Company's effective tax rate in the first quarters of fiscal 1998
     and 1997 was 37%.

4.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
         During the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
     Comprehensive Income". SFAS 130 requires the presentation, by major
     components and as a single total, the change in the Company's net assets
     during a period from non-owner sources. The adoption of this Statement
     resulted in a change in financial statement presentation, but did not have
     an impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, statements of
     income or cash flows. Comprehensive income and its components for the first
     quarters of fiscal 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

                                                    =====         =====

5.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
         Beginning in April, 1998, the Company entered into forward foreign
     exchange contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
     These contracts are designed as hedges of certain intercompany receivables
     denominated in foreign currencies.

6.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
     131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
     SFAS No. 131 establishes annual and interim reporting standards for
     operating segments of an enterprise and related disclosures about its
     products, services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
     effective for the Company's fiscal years ending after January 31, 1998.
     Adoption of this standard will not impact the Company's consolidated
     balance sheets, statements of income or cash flows, and any effect will be
     limited to the form and content of its disclosures.

     This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements reflecting the
Company's current expectations, including statements regarding anticipated store
openings and future comparable store net sales, gross profit, inventory levels,
levels of gross profit as a percentage of net sales, S,G&A expenses, earnings,
liquidity levels and the amendment of the Company's credit facility. Actual
results may vary materially from results projected in such forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including the factors listed
below under "Factors That May Affect Future Performance" and others.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 2, 1998 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED  MAY 3, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NET SALES
     Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased 21% to $103.1
million compared to $85.2 million in the same period last year. Sales for the 29
stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 contributed $2.7 million of
the increase in net sales. Stores opened prior to fiscal 1998, but not
qualifying as comparable stores, in addition to nine stores that were expanded
in fiscal 1998, contributed $13.8 million of the increase in net sales.
Comparable store net sales increased 1% in the first quarter and contributed
$1.4 million of the increase in net sales.

GROSS PROFIT
     Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 1998 increased 6.5% to
$41.5 million from $38.9 million in the same period last year. As a percentage
of net sales, gross profit was 40.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
compared to 45.7% in the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit, as
a percentage of sales, was primarily due to higher markdowns taken in the first
quarter of 1998 coupled with increases in occupancy and buying costs
attributable to the increases in the number of larger stores and higher rents
paid in Europe.

     The Company is taking steps to reduce inventories. This is likely to result
in gross profit as a percentage of net sales to continue to remain below fiscal
1997 levels for the balance of fiscal 1998.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A"), which principally
consist of non-occupancy store expenses, corporate overhead and distribution
expenses, increased to 34.7% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
compared to 30.9% of net sales in the same period last year.

     The increase of S,G&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was primarily
due to significantly higher international S,G&A expenses incurred for payroll,
marketing and travel in connection with Company's expansion into Europe and
Canada, the funding of the development of Gymboree in Japan and the internal
development of a Hong Kong sourcing office. Additional expenses incurred in the
opening of the Dixon, California, facility and the concurrent operation of the
Hayward, California, facility also contributed to the increases in S,G&A. Other
increases in S,G&A included marketing expenses associated with direct mail and
other promotional campaigns which took place during 1998 which did not occur in
1997.

     The Company expects total S,G&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, to
increase in the balance of fiscal 1998 due to funding of the development of the
Company's new retail concept, increased marketing efforts in the form of direct
mail, print and television advertising and continued S,G&A expense funding of
international expansion in Europe and Canada, planned entrance into the Japanese
market in 1999 or 2000 and costs associated with the establishment of the Hong
Kong sourcing office in late 1999. These higher expenses, combined with the
expected lower gross profit as a percentage of net sales are expected to result
in full year net earnings growth at a level less than those achieved in recent
years.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS 
     Foreign exchange transaction gains were $0.3 million during the first
quarter 1998. This gain resulted from currency fluctuations in intercompany
transactions between the Company's U.S. operations and its foreign subsidiaries.
No foreign exchange gains or losses were incurred during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
INTEREST INCOME 
     Interest income decreased to $229,000 during the first quarter of 1998 from
$1,010,000 during the first quarter of the prior year. The decrease in interest
income is primarily due to the decreases in cash, cash equivalents and
investment balances from the first quarter of 1997 due to two stock repurchases
completed during fiscal 1997 for a total of approximately $50.0 million. This
trend of declining interest income is expected to continue in the future.

INCOME TAX
    The Company's effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was
37% which is consistent with the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 1998 of $8.2
million was primarily attributable to $4.1 million of net income, $4.1 million
of depreciation and amortization, $2.5 million increase in deferred liabilities,
$1.9 million increase in accounts payable, offset in part by a $3.8 million
increase in accounts receivable and a $1.3 million increase in prepaid expenses
and other assets. Cash used in investing activities of $12.7 million for the
first quarter of 1998 related primarily to $14.2 million in capital expenditures
for new store openings and the relocation and/or expansion of certain existing
stores, offset by $1.5 million from sales of certain marketable securities.

     The combined balances of cash, cash equivalents and investments were $30.0
million at May 2, 1998, a decrease of $6.5 million from January 31, 1998.
Working capital as of May 2, 1998 was $68.0 million compared to $71.6 million at
the end of fiscal 1997. The Company's marketable securities consist largely of
short-to-medium term investment grade securities.

   The Company estimates that capital expenditures during fiscal 1998 will be
between $50 million and $55 million, and will be principally used to fund the
opening of approximately 100 to 130 new domestic and international stores and to
remodel or expand approximately 30 to 40 existing stores.

     The Company has no long term debt. At the end of fiscal 1997, the Company
had one line of credit that allowed up to $100 million in unsecured letters of
credit and up to $10 million in foreign exchange contracts. During the first
quarter of 1998, this line of credit agreement was amended. The amended facility
allows up to $74 million in unsecured commercial letters of credit, $11 million
in standby letters of credit, and $15 million in borrowings. In addition, under
this same facility, the Company may engage in up to $50 million in settlements
of foreign exchange contracts. The Company intends to seek further amendment of
the line of credit in order to increase the amount available for borrowings. The
Company uses these lines primarily to support letters of credit which fund its
foreign sourcing of merchandise inventories and to enter into foreign exchange
contracts. As of May 29, 1998, $28.0 million was available for unsecured
commercial letters of credit, $8.0 million was available for standby letters of
credit, $15.0 million was available in borrowings and $50 million was available
in settlements of foreign exchange contracts.

     The Company is exploring a number of financing alternatives including an
increase in the amount available for borrowings under the line of credit. The
Company anticipates that cash generated from operations together with its
existing cash resources and funds available from its credit facility, as
proposed to be amended, will be sufficient to satisfy its cash needs through at
least fiscal 1998. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully negotiate an increase in available borrowings under the credit
facility, and the failure to do so could require the Company to seek additional
sources of debt or equity financing or adjust the planned levels of capital and
other cash expenditures as needed. Such financing may not be available or, if
available, may be on terms that are not favorable to the Company or its
stockholders.

OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE PERFORMANCE 
     This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements reflecting the
Company's current expectations, including statements regarding anticipated store
openings, comparable store net sales, gross profit, inventory levels, levels of
gross profits as a percentage of net sales, S, G&A expense, earnings, liquidity
levels and the amendment of the Company's credit facility. Actual results may
vary materially from results projected in such forward-looking statements as a
result of a number of factors, including competitive market conditions, levels
of discretionary consumer spending, general economic conditions, the degree of
promotional pricing activity by the Company, inventory levels, and the ability
of the Company to successfully identify and respond to emerging children's
fashion trends, to effectively monitor and control costs, and to effectively
manage anticipated international and domestic growth.

     The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q with respect to opening a new
retail concept are also forward looking statements that involve risk and
uncertainties, including no prior operating history, no prior history of market
acceptance, potentially higher expenses without corresponding revenue increases,
impact to earnings, ability to obtain new store sites, ability to obtain
adequate sources of merchandise, competition from other retailers and
uncertainties generally associated with apparel retailing. In addition, the
Company has recently hired several highly experienced executives to support the
production, merchandising and promotion of the products of this new retail
concept. The Company's limited experience with marketing apparel to this
demographic could materially and adversely affect its ability to introduce this
new retail concept successfully or to develop this concept's product line. Other
factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include those set
forth in the reports that the Company files from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other factors that may affect future performance include the following:

INVENTORY LEVELS 
     The Company is taking positive steps to reduce inventories and to pursue
new merchandising and marketing initiatives, including a higher level of
promotional activity. This is likely to result in gross profit as a percentage
of net sales to continue to remain below fiscal 1997 levels for the balance of
fiscal 1998. 

INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION 
     In fiscal 1998, the Company plans to further its international expansion in
Europe and Canada. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company opened
six additional stores in Europe and one in Canada, bringing the number of stores
in Europe and Canada to twelve and twelve, respectively. The success of this
planned expansion will depend upon a number of factors, including the
availability of suitable store locations, the ability to provide an adequate
supply of inventory and the ability to hire and train qualified employees, of
which there can be no assurance.

     The Company will continue to fund the development of Gymboree in Japan with
a plan to open stores in that country in late 1999 or early 2000 and the opening
of a Hong Kong sourcing office, which will open in 1999.

NEW RETAIL CONCEPT
     During the first quarter of 1998, the Company announced its plans to launch
a new retail concept. It is intended to broaden the Company's market by
introducing clothing stores targeted for children between the ages of 6 and 12
years old. This retail concept will offer apparel, footwear and accessories to
boys and girls within those ages. This new concept represents a significant
shift in concept, design and target market demographics from the Company's
traditional products. These products may have short life cycles, thereby
requiring more frequent product introductions than the Company's traditional
product line. Further, these products and the introduction of more products
could dilute the Company's image as a leading supplier of children's apparel in
the 0-7 age range and lead to a reduced demand for its existing products.

YEAR 2000
     The Company has developed a plan to address Year 2000 issues. The plan
covers systems and vendor issues that will be encountered before, during and
after December 31, 1999. The systems portion of the plan includes a detailed
survey of the current systems and associated upgrades, as well as options
related to the replacement or reprogramming of current systems as would be
required to bring the Company's systems into compliance prior to the Year 2000.
The plan, which was developed to address vendor issues, covers product and
systems issues, and includes product certifications, systems integration,
systems testing and communication strategies. There can be no guarantee that the
systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be converted
timely and would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems. The Plan
however, offers a best effort approach to ascertain the readiness of the system
of key companies through the use of surveys and testing methodologies.
Customers are not likely to be affected by Year 2000 issues. The Company will
utilize both internal and external resources to test, remediate, and/or
replace the software.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain
intercompany receivables denominated in foreign currencies (principally Irish
Punts, British Pounds Sterling, and Canadian Dollars). The term of the forward
exchange contracts is generally less than 90 days. The purpose of the Company's
foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that
the eventual dollar net cash inflow resulting from the repayment of certain
intercompany  receivables from Gymboree's foreign subsidiaries will be adversely
affected by changes  in exchange rates. However, the Company may not be able to
realize the benefits from these hedging activities due to the inherent risks
associated with fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates.

     The table below summarizes by major currency the contractual amounts of
Gymboree's forward exchange contracts in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts
are translated at rates current at the reported date. The amounts represent the
U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies.
