NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(UNAUDITED)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying condensed financial statements contain all
         adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
         to present fairly the financial position as of July 27, 1996 and July
         29, 1995, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim
         periods presented.  The results of operations for the second quarter
         ended July 27, 1996 and July 29, 1995 are not necessarily indicative
         of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  The condensed
         balance sheet as of January 27, 1996 is derived from audited financial
         statements.  The condensed financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statement disclosures contained in the
         Company's Report to Shareholders for the year ended January 27,1996.

2.       COMMON STOCK OFFERING

         On January 31, 1996, the Company completed a secondary offering of
         600,000 shares of its common stock, while an additional 1,987,500
         shares were sold by selling shareholders (after giving effect to the
         stock split described in Note 3).  The Company's portion of the net
         proceeds, after deducting expenses associated with the offering,
         totaled $9.0 million and will be used to finance new store openings,
         store remodelings, and for other general corporate purposes.

3.       STOCK SPLIT

         On May 1, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two split
         of the Company's common stock in the form of a 50 percent stock
         dividend.  The stock split was payable on May 30, 1996  to holders of
         record on May 16, 1996, and has been given retroactive effect in these
         financial statements.

               Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                      Condition and Results of Operations


GENERAL

Gadzooks is a rapidly growing, mall-based specialty retailer of casual apparel
and related accessories for young men and women principally between the ages of
13 and 19.   The Company opened its first store in 1983, and had 160 stores in
operation at July 27, 1996, located in 23 states throughout the Southwestern,
Midwestern, and Southeastern regions of the United States.

The Company accelerated its expansion program in late fiscal 1992 and opened 10
new stores in the second six months of that fiscal year, followed by 23 new
stores in fiscal 1993, 26 new stores in fiscal 1994, and 39 new stores in
fiscal 1995.  The Company has opened 34 new stores since the beginning of
fiscal 1996.

The Company's business is subject to seasonal influences with slightly higher
sales during the Christmas holiday, back- to-school, and spring break seasons.
Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements and the notes related thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Ended July 27, 1996 Compared to Second Quarter Ended 
July 29, 1995

Net sales increased approximately $10.1 million, or 54.8 percent to $28,504,000
during the second quarter of fiscal 1996 from $18,408,000 during the comparable
quarter of fiscal 1995.  Comparable store sales increased 8.6 percent for the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.  The balance of the sales increase was
attributable to new stores not yet included in the comparable store sales base.
A store becomes comparable after it has been open for 14 full fiscal months.

Gross profit increased approximately $3.3 million to $8,870,000 during the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 from $5,619,000 during the comparable quarter of
fiscal 1995.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 31.1
percent compared to 30.5 percent in the comparable quarter of last year.  The
Company's merchandise margin was higher in the current quarter due to
additional markdowns taken in certain merchandise categories in the prior
year's quarter as part of a plan implemented to eliminate these stock-keeping
units.  Additionally, in the prior year, the Company decided to close its two
outlet stores resulting in markdowns being taken during the second quarter on
end-of-season and slow- moving merchandise, which was previously sold through
the outlets





                                       7

over a longer period of time.  Store occupancy costs, included in cost of goods
sold, increased slightly as a percentage of sales as a result of the large
number of new stores opened in recent periods, but was offset by a reduction in
buying and distribution costs as a percentage of sales, as a result of the
Company's larger store base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.1
million to $6,423,000 during the second quarter of 1996 from $4,339,000 during
the comparable quarter of fiscal 1995.  The increase was primarily due to the
increase in the number of stores to 160 stores at the end of the second quarter
of fiscal 1996 from 111 at the end of the comparable period last year.  As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
to 22.5 percent of sales during the second quarter of fiscal 1996 from 23.6
percent of sales during the comparable quarter of last year.  The decrease as a
percentage of net sales was due to leveraging of certain store expenses as a
percentage of sales as a result of the comparable store sales increases
achieved during the quarter.

Operating income increased approximately $1.2 million to $2,447,000, during the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 from $1,280,000 during the comparable quarter of
last year.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 8.6
percent of sales from 7.0 percent of sales during the comparable quarter of
last year.

Net interest income increased approximately $0.3 million to $168,000 during the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 from $159,000 net interest expense in the
comparable period of last year.  The Company's interest income increased due to
temporary investments of cash available from the two public stock offerings
completed in October, 1995 and January, 1996.

Six Months Ended July 27, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended July 29, 1995

Net sales increased approximately $17.6 million, or 51.1 percent to $51,990,000
during the first six months of fiscal 1996 from $34,407,000 during the
comparable period of fiscal 1995.  Comparable store sales increased 8.0 percent
for the first six months of fiscal 1996.  The balance of the sales increase was
attributable to new stores not yet included in the comparable store sales base.
A store becomes comparable after it has been open for 14 full fiscal months.

Gross profit increased approximately $5.6 million to $15,817,000 during the
first six months of fiscal 1996 from $10,182,000 during the comparable period
of fiscal 1995.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 30.4
percent compared to 29.6 percent in the comparable period of last year.  The
Company's merchandise margin for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was higher
than the prior year's margin due to fewer price-based promotional activities
during fiscal 1996.  The Company began fiscal 1996 with less markdown
merchandise to clear from its store system after the 1995 Christmas





                                       8

holiday season.  Additionally, the first  six  months of 1995 had lower
merchandise  margins  due to editing  certain merchandise categories and
closing the Company's two outlet stores.  Store occupancy costs, included in
cost of goods sold, increased slightly as a percentage of sales as a result of
opening 34 new stores during the first six months of fiscal 1996 as compared to
opening 21 stores during the comparable period of fiscal 1995.  The increase in
store occupancy costs was offset by a reduction in buying and distribution
costs as a percentage of sales, as a result of the Company's larger store base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $4.0
million to $12,409,000 during the first six months of 1996 from $8,447,000
during the comparable period of fiscal 1995. The increase was primarily due to
the increase in the number of stores to 160 stores at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 from 111 at the end of the comparable period last year.
As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 23.9 percent of sales during the first six months of fiscal 1996
from 24.6 of sales during the comparable period of last year.  The decrease as
a percentage of net sales was due to leveraging of certain store expenses as a
percentage of sales as a result of the comparable store sales increases
achieved during the six months.

Operating income increased approximately $1.7 million to $3,408,000 during the
first six months of fiscal 1996 from $1,734,000 during the comparable period of
last year.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 6.6
percent of sales from 5.0 percent of sales during the comparable six months of
last year.

Net interest income increased approximately $0.6 million to $397,000 during the
first six months of fiscal 1996 from $239,000 net interest expense in the
comparable period of last year.  The Company's interest income increased due to
temporary investments of cash available from the two public stock offerings
completed in October, 1995 and January, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General.  The Company's primary uses of cash are financing new store openings
and purchasing merchandise inventories.  The Company is currently meeting its
cash requirements through cash flow from operations and from proceeds of its
initial public offering completed in October, 1995, and a secondary public
offering completed in January, 1996.

Cash Flows.  At July 27, 1996, cash and cash equivalents were $17.2 million, an
increase of $3.5 million since January 27, 1996.  Sources of cash for the first
six months of fiscal 1996 were primarily proceeds from the issuance of common
stock of $9.0 million and net cash from operations of $3.4 million.  The
primary uses of cash were increased inventory levels of $2.7 million,
reductions in liabilities of $1.3 million,





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
increases in other assets of $1.1 million, and capital expenditures of $3.8
million.  The Company opened 14 new stores during the second quarter of 1996 as
compared with 10 new stores in the same period of the prior year.

Credit Facility.  The Company currently has a loan agreement with a bank that
provides a revolving line of credit of $7.0 million.  Amounts borrowed under
the Revolving Line bear interest at the bank's prime rate minus 0.65 percent.
The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.35 percent per annum on the unused
portion of the revolving line.  As of July 27, 1996, no amounts were
outstanding under the revolving line.  The Revolving Line credit facility is
subject to certain financial covenants and conditions with which the Company
was in compliance as of July 27, 1996.

Capital Expenditures.  The Company anticipates opening approximately 23 new
stores during the remaining quarters of fiscal 1996.  The Company estimates
that its average capital expenditures to open a new store, including leasehold
improvements and furniture and fixtures, will be approximately $155,000
(approximately $100,000 net of all landlord allowances).  The cost of initial
inventory for a new store is approximately $100,000; however, the immediate
cash requirement for inventory is partially financed through the Company's
payment terms with its vendors.  After a store has been constructed,
pre-opening costs range from $8,000 to $10,000 for travel, hiring and training,
and other miscellaneous costs associated with the setup of a new store prior to
its opening for business.  Pre-opening costs are expensed in the period when
the store opens.
