1.   Basis of Presentation

          The accompanying unaudited 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 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.

          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.

Thirteen Weeks Ended 11/25/00 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended 11/27/99

     Net sales increased 11.4% to $134.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended
November 25, 2000 from $120.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27,
1999. This increase in net sales was primarily attributable to net sales from
new stores and a comparable store sales increase. As of November 25, 2000, the
number of stores in operation increased 7.6% to 441 from 410 at November 27,
1999. During the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2000, the Company's
comparable store sales increased 2.2% compared to the same period in the prior
year. Comparable footwear net sales for the thirteen weeks ended November 25,
2000 increased approximately 5.9% versus the thirteen weeks ended November 27,
1999. Comparable activewear and accessories net sales decreased approximately
9.0% for the comparable period. Activewear and accessories continue to be
negatively effected by a significant reduction in the average unit selling
price. Net sales per square foot decreased to $52 from $54 for the same thirteen
week period of the prior year.

     Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2000 was $33.1
million, an increase of $3.7 million over the thirteen weeks ended November 27,
1999. During this same period, gross profit increased to 24.6% of net sales
versus 24.4% for the prior year. Of this .2% increase, .5% was due to an
increase in margins for product sold and a decrease in inventory shrink expense
of .1%, which was partially offset by an increase of .4% in occupancy costs as a
percentage of net sales.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.2 million (12.6%)
to $37.4 million (27.8% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended November 25,
2000 from $33.2 million (27.5% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended
November 27, 1999. This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the
operating costs related to operating 31 additional stores at November 25, 2000
versus November 27, 1999. The increase as a percentage of net sales is primarily
attributable to increased costs related to wages and benefits.

  Net interest income was $328,000 (.2% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks
ended November 25, 2000, compared to net interest income of $204,000 (.2% of net
sales) for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 1999, an increase of $124,000.
This increase was the result of increased invested cash balances for the
thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2000 compared to the same period of the prior
year.

     The Company had a benefit for income taxes of $1.5 million for the thirteen
weeks ended November 25, 2000, as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $1.3
million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 1999. The increase is due to
the decreased level of income before income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended
November 25, 2000, along with an increase in the effective tax rate to 37.0% for
the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2000 from 35.0% for the thirteen weeks
ended November 27, 1999.

     Diluted net loss per share was $.10 for the thirteen weeks ended November
25, 2000 compared to diluted net loss per share of $.09 for the thirteen weeks
ended November 27, 1999. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were
24,679,000 and 25,002,000 respectively, for the periods ended November 25, 2000
and November 27, 1999.  The decrease of 1.3% in diluted weighted average shares
outstanding reflects the repurchase of 613,400 shares of Class A Common Stock
since November 27,1999 through the stock buyback program authorized by the Board
of Directors in September 1998.

Thirty Nine Weeks Ended 11/25/00 Compared to Thirty Nine Weeks Ended 11/27/99

     Net sales increased 12.6% to $471.7 million for the thirty nine weeks ended
November 25, 2000 from $419.1 million for the thirty nine weeks ended November
27, 1999. Of this increase, $16.3 million was attributable to a 7.6% increase in
the number of stores open during the period from 410 at November 27, 1999 to 441
at November 25, 2000. The balance of the increase was attributable to a $30.4
million increase in net sales from the existing stores open only part of the
first thirty nine weeks of last year along with a comparable store net sales
increase of 1.7% for the thirty nine weeks ended November 25, 2000. Comparable
footwear net sales for the thirty nine weeks ended November 25, 2000 increased
approximately 4.9%. Comparable activewear and accessories net sales decreased
approximately 10.0% for the comparable period. Activewear and accessories
continue to be negatively effected by a significant reduction in the average
unit selling price. Net sales per square foot decreased to $186 from $199 for
the same period of the prior year. Sales per square foot have been negatively
impacted by the decrease in activewear sales.

     Gross profit for the thirty nine weeks ended November 25, 2000 was $127.0
million, an increase of $11.8 million over the thirty nine weeks ended November
27, 1999.  During this same period, gross profit decreased to 26.9% of net sales
versus 27.5% for the prior year.  Of this .6% decrease, .5% was due to an
increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales.  Additionally, margin
for product sold decreased    .2%, however it was offset by a .1 % decrease in
inventory shrink expense.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $12.5 million
(12.3%) to $114.5 million (24.3% of net sales) for the thirty nine weeks ended
November 25, 2000 from $102.0 million (24.3% of net sales) for the thirty nine
weeks ended November 27, 1999. This dollar increase was primarily attributable
to the operating costs related to operating 31 additional stores at November 25,
2000 versus November 27, 1999.

  Net interest income was $720,000 (.2% of net sales) for the thirty nine weeks
ended November 25, 2000, compared to net interest income of $768,000 (.2% of net
sales) for the thirty nine weeks ended November 27, 1999, a decrease of $48,000.

     The Company's provision for federal and state income taxes was $4.9 million
for the thirty nine weeks ended November 25, 2000 and the thirty nine weeks
ended November 27, 1999. The provision was effected by the decreased level in
income before income taxes for the thirty nine weeks ended November 25, 2000,
offset by an increase in the effective tax rate to 37.0% for the thirty nine
weeks ended November 25, 2000 from 35.0% for the thirty nine weeks ended
November 27, 1999.

     Diluted net income per share decreased 5.6% to $.34 for the thirty nine
weeks ended November 25, 2000 compared to diluted net income per share of $.36
for the thirty nine weeks ended November 27, 1999. Diluted weighted average
shares outstanding were 24,682,000 and 25,116,000 respectively for the periods
ended November 25, 2000 and November 27, 1999. The decrease of 1.7% in diluted
weighted average shares outstanding reflects the repurchase of 613,400 shares of
Class A Common Stock since November 27,1999 through the stock buy back program
authorized by the Board of Directors in September 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company provided cash of $12.9 million from its operating activities
during the thirty nine weeks ended November 25, 2000 as compared to using cash
from its operating activities of $14.8 million during the thirty nine weeks
ended November 27, 1999.  The increase in cash generated by operating activities
was primarily the result of decreased growth in inventory levels net of accounts
payable.

     The Company had a net use of cash from its investing activities, of $9.1
million and $16.7 million for the thirty nine week periods ended November 25,
2000 and November 27, 1999, respectively.  Of the $9.1  million used in fiscal
2001, $12.1 million was used primarily for new store construction and remodeling
of existing stores, which was partially offset by $3.0 million in net maturities
and proceeds from marketable securities.

     The Company anticipates that total capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 and
fiscal 2002 will be approximately $18-$20 million and $15-$20 million,
respectively, primarily for the opening of new stores and the remodeling of
existing stores.

     At November 25, 2000 the Company had cash equivalents of $15.7 million,
marketable securities of   $8.4 million and no interest bearing debt.  Cash
equivalents are primarily invested in tax exempt instruments with maturities of
one to twenty-eight days.  Marketable securities range in maturity from 90 days
to four years from date of purchase and are primarily invested in tax exempt
municipal obligations.  Marketable securities are classified as available-for-
sale and are available to support current operations.

     In addition to the cash and marketable securities, the Company has in place
with a syndicate of banks a newly executed $60,000,000 revolving line of credit
which expires September 2003. The line of credit contains restrictive covenants
that limit, among other things, the Company's ability to declare or pay
dividends, incur or guarantee debt, redeem shares of its capital stock, be a
party to a merger, acquire or dispose of assets or engage in any other
transactions outside the ordinary course of business. At November 25, 2000 the
Company had no borrowings under the line and is in compliance with all
restrictive covenants.

     The Company had positive working capital of $133.8 million at November 25,
2000, an increase of $8.9 million from the working capital of $124.9 million at
February 26, 2000.

     Merchandise inventories were $177.6 million at November 25, 2000 compared
to $149.0 million at February 26, 2000. On a per square foot basis, merchandise
inventories at November 25, 2000 decreased approximately 5.2% compared to
November 27, 1999. The Company continues to monitor slower selling inventory and
promote it as necessary to compete in the current difficult retail environment.

     The Company's current plans are to increase its retail square footage by
approximately 6-7% for fiscal 2002. Management believes that cash on hand,
operating cash flow and the Company's existing bank facility will provide
sufficient capital to complete the Company's fiscal 2002 store expansion program
and to satisfy the Company's other capital requirements through fiscal 2002.
