                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of  The Finish Line, Inc.
(the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered
necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.

     The Company has experienced, and expects to continue  to experience,
significant variability in sales and net income from quarter to quarter.
Therefore, the results of the interim periods presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
period or the full year.

     These financial statements should be read in  conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended February 29, 1996.

2.   Public Offering

     The Company completed a secondary public offering (the "Secondary
Offering") of its Class A Common Stock on June 19, 1996 pursuant to which the
Company sold 1,300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an offering price of
$27.50 per share.  Net proceeds to the Company from the Secondary Offering
(after deducting the underwriting discount of $1,781,000 and expenses estimated
at $401,000 incurred in connection with this Secondary Offering) are estimated
to be $33,568,000.  These proceeds were used to repay bank indebtedness of
$15,000,000 and for general corporate purposes.  As part of the Secondary
Offering, four selling stockholders (each an officer and director of the
Company) sold an aggregate of 1,300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (which
were converted from Class B to Class A) at the same per share price of $27.50
less $1,781,000 for the underwriting discount.  The Company has not and will not
receive any of the proceeds from the shares sold by the four selling
stockholders.  The financial statements and other information reported herein do
not reflect the results of the Secondary Offering since it was completed
subsequent to May 31, 1996.

FIRST QUARTER ENDED 5/31/96 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER ENDED 5/31/95

      Net sales increased 37.4% to $71.7 million for the quarter ended May 31,
1996 from $52.2 million for the quarter ended May 31, 1995.  Of this increase,
$10.3 million was attributable to a 16.2% increase in the number of stores open
during the period from 197 at May 31, 1995 to 229 at May 31, 1996.  The balance
of the increase was attributable to a $1.2 million increase in net sales from
the nine existing stores open only part of the first three months of last year
and a comparable store sales increase of 12.6% for the three months ended May
31, 1996 for those stores opened during the entire three months of last year.
Comparable net footwear sales for the quarter ended May 31, 1996 increased 14.0%
versus the quarter ended May 31, 1995.  Comparable net activewear and
accessories increased 8.7% for the comparable period.  Net sales per square foot
increased to $82 from $74 for the same period of the prior year.


      Gross profit for the quarter ended May 31, 1996 was $21.5 million, an
increase of $5.7 million over the quarter ended May 31, 1995.  During this same
period, gross profit decreased to 30.0% of net sales versus 30.4% for the prior
year.  Of this .4% decrease, .9% was due to lower margins for products sold
which was partially offset by a .5% decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage
of net sales.
<PAGE>
 
      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million
(29.8%) to $16.0 million (22.4% of net sales) for the quarter ended May 31, 1996
from $12.4 million (23.7% of net sales) for the quarter ended May 31, 1995.
This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the operating costs related
to operating 32 additional stores at May 31, 1996 versus May 31, 1995.   The
decrease as a percentage of net sales is primarily a result of the comparable
net sales increase of 12.6% for the three month period ended May 31, 1996.

      Interest expense increased to $194,000 (.3% of net sales) for the quarter
ended May 31, 1996, from $130,000 (.2% of net sales) for the quarter ended May
31, 1995, an increase of $64,000 or 49.2%.  This increase resulted from a higher
average balance outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit due to an
increase in the number of stores in operation, the funding of new store
expansion and related inventory requirements.

      The Company's provision for federal and state income taxes increased
$763,000 for the quarter ended May 31, 1996.  The increase is due to the
increased level of income before income taxes for the quarter ended May 31,
1996, as the effective tax rate was 40% for each of the comparable quarters.

      Fully diluted net income per share increased 50% to $.30 for the quarter
ended May 31, 1996 compared to fully diluted net income per share of $.20 for
the quarter ended May 31, 1995.  Fully diluted weighted average shares
outstanding were 10,668,000 and 10,355,000 respectively during the quarters
ended May 31, 1996 and 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company had a net use of cash of $2.8 million from its operating
activities during the quarter ended May 31, 1996 as compared to a net use of
cash from operating activities of $2.7 million during the quarter ended May 31,
1995.

      The Company had a net use of cash from its investing activities, primarily
in new store construction, of $2.2 million and $2.8 million for the quarters
ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Company borrowed a net $5.2
million from its bank line of credit for the quarter ended May 31, 1996 as
compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 1995.    The Company completed a
secondary public offering of its Class A Common Stock on June 19, 1996.  Net
proceeds to the Company from the offering after deducting underwriting discount
and expenses is estimated to be $33,568,000.  See Note 2 of Notes to Financial
Statements for further discussion.

      The Company had positive working capital of $35.3 million at May 31, 1996
which was an increase of $2.8 million from the positive working capital of $32.5
million at February 29, 1996.

      Merchandise inventories were $73.5 million at May 31, 1996 compared to
$76.1 million at February 29, 1996.  On a per square foot basis, merchandise
inventories at May 31, 1996 decreased 5.3% compared to May 31, 1995, and were
8.7% lower than at February 29, 1996.  The Company believes present levels are
appropriate for the selling season.
