                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of  The
Finish Line, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Spike's Holding, Inc.
(collectively, 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 reporting period to
reporting period.  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.

      Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this filing are forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in any of the forward looking statements.  Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, product demand and market
acceptance risks, the effect of economic conditions, the effect of competitive
products and pricing, the availability of products, management of growth, and
the other risks detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission
filings.

      These financial statements should be read in  conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended February 26, 2000.

2.    Revenue Recognition

      On December 3, 1999, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101,  "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB No. 101") to provide guidance on the
recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.
SAB No. 101 does not change existing literature on revenue recognition, but
rather it clarifies the staff's position on pre-existing literature.  The new
standard did not require management to change existing revenue recognition
policies and therefore had no impact on the Company's reported financial
position or results of operations as of May 27, 2000.

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 27, 2000 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 29, 1999

      Net sales increased 10.9% to $146.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended
May 27, 2000 from $132.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 29, 1999.  Of
this increase, $14.2 million was attributable to a 14.0% increase in the number
of stores open during the period from 371 at May 29, 1999 to 423 at May 27,d
2000.  The balance of the increase was attributable to a $900,000 increase in
net sales from the fourteen existing stores open only part of the first three
months of last year.  These increases were partially offset by a comparable
store sales decrease of 0.7% for the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 for those
stores opened during the entire three months of last year.  Comparable net
footwear sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 increased 2.6% versus
the thirteen weeks ended May 29, 1999.  Comparable net activewear and
accessories sales decreased 13.3% for the comparable period.  Activewear and
accessories continue to be negatively effected by a fashion shift by customers
to contemporary non-athletic brands and by a significant reduction in the
average unit selling price.  Net sales per square foot decreased 9.1% to $60 for
the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 compared to $66 for the comparable period
of the prior year.  Sales per square foot have been negatively impacted by the
decrease in activewear sales along with an 2.4% increase in the average store
size from 5,924 square feet at May 29, 1999 to 6,068 square feet at May 27,
2000.

      Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 was $40.6 million,
an increase of $3.5 million over the thirteen weeks ended May 29, 1999.  During
this same period, gross profit decreased to 27.7% of net sales versus 28.1% for
the prior year.  Of this 0.4% decrease, 0.7% was due to an increase in occupancy
costs as a percentage of net sales which was partially offset by a 0.3% increase
in margin for products sold.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million (9.9%)
to $34.8 million (23.8% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000
from $31.7 million (24.0% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended May 29,
1999.  This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the operating costs
related to operating 52 additional stores at May 27, 2000 versus May 29, 1999.
In addition, current year selling, general and administrative expenses are net
of a $493,000 settlement of an insurance claim related to a store fire.

      Net interest income was $223,000 (.2% of net sales) for the thirteen week
period ended May 27, 2000 compared to $281,000 (.2% of net sales) for the
thirteen weeks ended May 29, 1999, a decrease of $58,000.

      The Company's provision for income taxes increased $232,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 over the thirteen weeks ended May 29, 1999.
The increase is due to the increased level of income before income taxes for the
thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000, and an increase in the effective tax rate to
37% for the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 from 35% for the thirteen weeks
ended May 29, 1999. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to reduced tax
exempt interest income and increased state taxes.

      Net income increased 2.3% to $3.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended May
27, 2000 compared to $3.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 29, 1999.
Diluted net income per share was $.15 for both comparable periods ended May 27,
2000 and May 29, 1999. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were
24,665,000 and 25,198,000, respectively, for the thirteen weeks ended May 27,
2000 and May 29, 1999.   The decrease of 2.1% in diluted average shares
outstanding is principally the result of the repurchase of 633,400 shares of
Class A Common Stock since May 29, 1999 through the stock buyback program
authorized by the Board of Directors in September 1998 which expires on December
31, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company had a net use of cash of $1.2 million from its operating
activities during the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 as compared to a net use
of cash from operating activities of $4.8 during the quarter ended May 29, 1999.

      The Company had a net use of cash from its investing activities of $1.3
million and $3.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 2000 and May 29,
1999, respectively.  The $1.3 million use of cash in 2000 is primarily due to
new and remodeled stores construction totaling $3.9 million, partially offset by
the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.

      The Company's working capital was $129.5 million at May 27, 2000 which was
a $4.6 million increase from $124.9 million at February 26, 2000.

      Merchandise inventories were $169.0 million at May 27, 2000 compared to
$149.0 million at February 26, 2000.  On a per square foot basis, merchandise
inventories at May 27, 2000 decreased 3.8% compared to May 29, 1999, and were
9.6% higher than at February 26, 2000.  The Company believes present levels are
appropriate for the selling season.

      At May 27, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.6 million
and an additional $8.9 million in marketable securities.  Cash equivalents are
primarily invested in tax exempt instruments with maturities of one to twenty-
eight days.  Marketable securities represent securities that range in maturity
from 90 days to four years and are primarily invested in tax exempt municipal
obligations.  Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are
available to support current operations.

      The Company's previously announced expansion plans are to increase its
retail square footage by approximately 7-8% for fiscal 2001.  Management
believes that cash and marketable securities on hand, operating cash flow and
the Company's existing bank facility in the amount of $75,000,000 which
expires on July 10, 2003, will provide sufficient capital to complete the
Company's fiscal 2001 store expansion program and to satisfy the Company's other
capital requirements through fiscal 2001.
