Goody's Family Clothing, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of presentation

     The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements of Goody's
Family Clothing,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (the "Company") are unaudited and have
been  prepared  pursuant  to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  for interim  financial  statements.  In the opinion of the
Company's  management,   the  accompanying   unaudited  condensed   consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal and
recurring  adjustments,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of  the  Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented.  Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be achieved for the entire year. The condensed  consolidated  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements  and the notes thereto  contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report
on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended January 29, 2000.

     (2)......Changes  in accounting  methodology

     As more fully  discussed in the Company's  Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on March 2, 2000,  the Company  changed its  accounting  methodology,  effective
January  30,  2000 (the  first  day of the first  quarter  of fiscal  2000),  to
recognize  the sale and related  gross profit from layaways upon delivery of the
merchandise  to the  customer.  This new  accounting  methodology  for  layaways
reduced  earnings  (before the cumulative  effect of the  accounting  change) by
approximately  $400,000 or $0.01 per diluted share for the thirteen  weeks ended
April  29,  2000.  As  also  disclosed  in  this  Current  Report,  the  Company
retroactively  restated its balance  sheet and statement of operations as of and
for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1999 to accrue for sales returns and adopt a
change in accounting  methodology  related to leased  departments in response to
the  Securities and Exchange  Commission's  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."

(3)  Credit  arrangements

     The Company  has a credit  agreement  for an  unsecured  revolving  line of
credit which provides for cash borrowings for general corporate purposes as well
as for the issuance of letters of credit of up to an  aggregate of  $130,000,000
and which  expires in May 2001.  The Company is committed to pay (i) interest on
the cash  borrowings  at a  fluctuating  base rate or LIBOR  plus an  applicable
margin,  (ii)  letter of  credit  fees  based on the  number of days a letter of
credit is outstanding times an applicable fee and (iii) an annual commitment fee
payable quarterly in advance. The terms of this credit agreement require,  among
other things,  maintenance of minimum levels of shareholders' equity, compliance
with certain financial ratios and Mr. Robert M. Goodfriend remaining as Chairman
of the Board or Chief Executive Officer of the Company,  and place  restrictions
on  additional   indebtedness,   asset   disposals,   investments   and  capital
expenditures.

(4)  Earnings  per common  share

     Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding.  Diluted  earnings per
common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number
of common shares  outstanding and potentially  dilutive common shares.  Weighted
average diluted shares  outstanding  differs from weighted  average basic shares
outstanding solely from the effect of stock options.

(5) Recent  accounting  pronouncements

Accounting  for  derivative instruments and hedging  activities

     The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging  Activities" ("SFAS No.133") which, as amended, is effective for the
Company in fiscal 2001.  This  standard  requires  that an entity  recognize all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in its  statement  of  financial
position and measure those  instruments  at fair value.  The Company has not yet
completed  its  analysis  of the  effect  of  SFAS  No.  133  on  its  financial
statements.

(6) Contingencies

     In February  1999, a lawsuit was filed in the United States  District Court
for the Middle  District  of Georgia and was served on the Company and Robert M.
Goodfriend,  its Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer,  by 20 named plaintiffs,
generally   alleging  that  the  Company   discriminated   against  a  class  of
African-American   employees   at  its  retail   stores   through   the  use  of
discriminatory  selection and compensation procedures and by maintaining unequal
terms and  conditions of  employment.  The  plaintiffs  further  allege that the
Company  maintained a racially  hostile  working  environment.  The  plaintiffs'
claims are being  brought  under Title VII of the Civil  Rights Act of 1964,  as
amended,  and under the Civil Rights Act of 1866.  The plaintiffs are seeking to
have this action certified as a class action. By way of damages,  the plaintiffs
are seeking, among other things,  injunctive relief (including  restructuring of
the Company's  selection and  compensation  procedures)  as well as back pay, an
award of  attorneys'  fees and costs,  and other  monetary  relief.  The Company
disputes  these claims and intends to defend this matter  vigorously.  It is too
early  to  estimate  the  effect,  if any,  the  above  lawsuit  may have on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

     In  addition,  the Company is a party to various  other  legal  proceedings
arising  in the  ordinary  course  of its  business.  While  the costs and other
effects of pending  proceedings  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's  business,  financial  condition  and  operating  results,  management
currently  believes that the ultimate  outcome of all pending legal  proceedings
(other than the matter noted in the paragraph  above),  individually  and in the
aggregate,  should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position and results of operations.

 INDEPENDENT  ACCOUNTANTS'  REVIEW REPORT

Board of Directors and  Shareholders
Goody's Family Clothing,  Inc.
Knoxville, Tennessee

We have  reviewed the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheets of
Goody's Family  Clothing,  Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 29, 2000 and May 1,
1999 and the related  consolidated  statements of operations  and cash flows for
the thirteen-weeks then ended. 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 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  sheet of
Goody's Family  Clothing,  Inc. and  subsidiaries as of January 29, 2000 and the
related consolidated  statements of operations,  shareholders'  equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended (not  presented  herein);  and in our report dated
March 14,  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.

financial  results  may be  found  in the  Company's  public  filings  with  the

</TABLE>


     Overview - During the first  quarter of fiscal  2000,  the  Company  opened
eight new stores and closed two stores,  bringing  the total number of stores in
operation  at  quarter  end to 293,  compared  with 267 at the end of the  first
quarter of fiscal 1999. In the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year,
ten new stores were  opened,  seven  stores were  relocated  and two stores were
remodeled. Net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were $4,074,000, or
1.5% of sales, compared with $7,425,000, or 3.0% of sales, for the first quarter
of fiscal 1999.

     Sales - Sales for the first  quarter of fiscal 2000 were  $278,283,000,  an
11.0% increase over the  $250,749,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
increase of  $27,534,000  consisted of additional  sales from new and transition
stores  partially  offset by a 1.4% decrease in comparable  store sales from the
corresponding  period of the previous fiscal year. The cool weather during April
2000 in most of the Company's markets adversely  affected sales of the Company's
spring season apparel offerings, particularly shorts.

     Gross  profit - Gross  profit  for the first  quarter  of  fiscal  2000 was
$79,204,000,  or 28.5% of sales, a $5,733,000 increase over the $73,471,000,  or
29.3% of sales,  in gross profit for the first  quarter of the  previous  fiscal
year.  The 0.8% decrease in gross profit,  as a percent of sales,  resulted from
(i) a 0.5%  increase  in cost of  sales  primarily  from  increased  promotional
pricing  introduced in an effort to overcome the sluggish  sales noted above and
(ii) a 0.3%  increase  in  occupancy  costs  which were not  leveraged  due to a
shortfall  in  comparable  store  sales and higher  occupancy  costs for new and
relocated stores.

     Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  -  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were  $72,941,000,
or 26.3% of sales,  an increase of  $10,787,000  from  $62,154,000,  or 24.8% of
sales, for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses increased by 1.5%, as a percent of sales, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared  with the first  quarter of the previous  fiscal
year and is comprised of (i) a 0.7% increase in store salaries  primarily due to
the new  internally  operated  shoe  departments  and  (ii) a 0.9%  increase  in
advertising and promotional expenses, which were partially offset by (iii) a net
0.1% decrease in all other selling, general and administrative expenses.

     Interest  expense - Interest  expense for the first  quarter of fiscal 2000
increased by $3,000 compared with the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.

     Investment  income - Investment income for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
increased by $64,000 compared with the first quarter of the previous fiscal year
primarily as a result of an increase in invested funds during the period.

     Income  taxes - The  provision  for income  taxes for the first  quarter of
fiscal  2000 was  $2,568,000,  for an  effective  tax rate of 37.5% of  earnings
before income  taxes,  compared  with  $4,417,000,  for an effective tax rate of
37.3% of earnings  before  income  taxes,  for the first quarter of the previous
fiscal year.  The increase in the  effective  tax rate over the first quarter of
the previous fiscal year resulted from state tax law changes.

     Cumulative effect of accounting change - The Company changed its accounting
methodology,  effective  January 30, 2000 (the first day of the first quarter of
fiscal 2000),  to recognize the sale and related gross profit from layaways upon
delivery of the merchandise to the customer.  The cumulative  effect of this new
accounting  methodology for layaways was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 and reduced  earnings by  $207,000,  net of a tax benefit of  $124,000.  In
addition,  this new accounting methodology for layaways reduced earnings (before
cumulative effect of accounting  change) by approximately  $400,000 or $0.01 per
diluted share for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Financial  position - The Company's  primary  sources of liquidity are cash
flows from operations, including credit terms from vendors, and borrowings under
its credit  agreement.  At April 29, 2000,  the  Company's  working  capital was
$104,549,000  compared with $103,300,000 at May 1, 1999. At the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared  with the first  quarter of the previous  fiscal
year, (i) cash and cash equivalents decreased by $17,337,000,  (ii) net property
and  equipment   increased  by  $7,265,000,   (iii)  inventories   increased  by
$36,064,000  primarily due to new stores and the addition of internally operated
shoe  departments,  and (iv) accounts  payable  increased by $16,445,000.  Trade
payables,  as a percent of  inventories,  were 57.8% at April 29, 2000  compared
with 60.0% at May 1, 1999.

The Company has a credit  agreement  for an unsecured  revolving  line of credit
which provides for cash borrowings for general corporate purposes as well as for
the  issuance of letters of credit of up to an  aggregate  of  $130,000,000  and
which  expires in May 2001.  The Company is committed to pay (i) interest on the
cash borrowings at a fluctuating  base rate or LIBOR plus an applicable  margin,
(ii)  letter of credit  fees  based on the  number of days a letter of credit is
outstanding  times an applicable fee and (iii) an annual  commitment fee payable
quarterly in advance.  The terms of this credit agreement  require,  among other
things,  maintenance of minimum levels of shareholders' equity,  compliance with
certain  financial ratios and Mr. Robert M. Goodfriend  remaining as Chairman of
the Board or Chief Executive Officer of the Company,  and place  restrictions on
additional indebtedness, asset disposals, investments and capital expenditures.

At  April  29,  2000,  the  Company  had  no  cash  borrowings  and  $62,003,000
outstanding  for  letters  of  credit  compared  with  no  cash  borrowings  and
$43,055,000  outstanding  for letters of credit at May 1, 1999.  Cash borrowings
averaged  $38,000 (with the highest  balance of $2,000,000 in March 1999) in the
first  quarter of fiscal 1999  compared  with no cash  borrowings  for the first
quarter of fiscal  2000.  Letters  of credit  outstanding  averaged  $60,000,000
during the first  quarter of fiscal 2000 compared  with  $44,695,000  during the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  1999.  The  highest  balance  of  letters  of credit
outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999 was $67,182,000 (in
April 2000) and $49,454,000 (in February 1999), respectively.

     Cash flows - Operating  activities  used cash of  $14,611,000  in the first
quarter  of fiscal  2000  compared  with  $980,000  in the first  quarter of the
previous fiscal year. Cash used in operating activities during the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 for seasonal  inventory  increases and new stores was $49,771,000
compared with  $30,914,000  for the first  quarter of the previous  fiscal year.
Accounts  payable  provided cash of  $16,075,000  in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 compared  with  $12,353,000  for the first  quarter of the previous  fiscal
year.  Other assets and  liabilities  provided cash of $9,353,000  compared with
$2,161,000 for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.  Depreciation  and
amortization amounted to $4,617,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared
with $3,782,000 for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.

     Cash flows from  investing  activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
reflected a net use of cash  amounting to $6,505,000  compared with  $10,534,000
for the first quarter of the previous  fiscal year.  Cash was used  primarily to
fund  capital  expenditures  for new,  relocated  and  remodeled  stores and for
general corporate purposes.

     Cash used by financing  activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was
$30,239,000  compared  with  $14,497,000  for the first  quarter of the previous
fiscal year. The Company's cash  management  program used cash of $28,326,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with $14,518,000 for the first quarter
of the previous fiscal year. The Company received $83,000 in cash and realized a
tax benefit of $8,000 in the first  quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with $18,000
in cash and a tax benefit of $3,000 for the first quarter of the previous fiscal
year  from the  issuance  of  common  stock on  exercise  of stock  options.  In
addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company purchased 323,000
shares  of its  common  stock  for an  aggregate  of  $2,004,000  under  a stock
repurchase  plan  authorized by the  Company's  Board of Directors in June 1999.
(Since inception of the plan, the Company purchased 908,300 shares of its common
stock for an aggregate of $6,511,000.)


     Outlook  - The  Company  plans  to open  approximately  23 new  stores  and
relocate or remodel  approximately  17 stores during the last three  quarters of
fiscal 2000.  Management  estimates that capital  expenditures of  approximately
$48,500,000 will be required for (i) opening new stores, (ii) upgrading existing
stores,  (iii)  opening a new  distribution  center and  upgrading  the existing
distribution  center,  (iv) upgrading computer systems and equipment and (v) for
general corporate purposes during the remainder of fiscal 2000. The Company also
plans to continue  purchasing  shares of its common stock, from time to time, in
the open market or in  privately  negotiated  transactions,  depending on price,
prevailing market conditions and other factors.

     The Company's  primary needs for capital  resources are for the purchase of
store  inventories,  capital  expenditures  and for normal  operating  purposes.
Management believes that its existing working capital,  together with cash flows
from  operations,  including  credit  terms  from  vendors,  and the  borrowings
available  under the credit  agreement  will be sufficient to meet the Company's
operating and capital expenditure  requirements.  However, an adverse outcome of
pending  litigation  (as described in "Note (6)  Contingencies"  in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements) could negatively affect working capital.

     Inventories at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were higher than
the  Company's  business  plan.  In an effort to increase  unit sales and reduce
merchandise   inventories  to  acceptable  levels,  the  Company  increased  its
promotional activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and has continued
such   promotional   activities   into  the  second   quarter  of  fiscal  2000.
Consequently,  financial  results  for the second  quarter and the first half of
fiscal 2000 are expected to be weaker than those reported for the second quarter
and first half of fiscal 1999.

     Seasonality  and inflation - The Company's  business is seasonal by nature.
The Christmas season (beginning the Sunday before Thanksgiving and ending on the
first  Saturday  after   Christmas),   the   back-to-school   season  (beginning
approximately the first week of August and continuing  through the first week of
September)  and the Easter  season  (beginning  approximately  two weeks  before
Easter  Sunday  and  ending  on  the  Saturday  preceding  Easter)  collectively
accounted for  approximately  33.2% of the  Company's  annual sales based on the
Company's  last three fiscal years ended  January 29,  2000.  In general,  sales
volume varies directly with customer traffic, which is heaviest during the third
and  fourth  quarters  of a  fiscal  year.  Because  of the  seasonality  of the
Company's  business,  results for any quarter are not necessarily  indicative of
the results that may be achieved for the full year.

     Inflation  can affect the costs  incurred by the Company in the purchase of
its  merchandise,  the  leasing  of its  stores and  certain  components  of its
selling, general and administrative expenses. During the last three fiscal years
ended  January 29, 2000,  inflation  has not  materially  affected the Company's
business,  although  there can be no assurance  that  inflation  will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company in the future.
