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 October 30, 1999 and
         January 30, 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
         third quarter and nine months ended October 30, 1999 and October 31,
         1998. The results of operations for the third quarters and nine months
         then ended are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full fiscal year. The condensed balance sheet as of
         January 30, 1999 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 Annual
         Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 1999.

2.       LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

         On May 14, 1999, the Company renewed and revised its existing credit
         facility with Wells Fargo Bank. The revised facility provides an
         unsecured revolving line of credit totaling $10 million. The total
         amount available to borrow pursuant to the credit agreement is limited
         to 150% of cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement) for the
         trailing 12-month period. Amounts borrowed under the revolving line
         bear interest at the lesser of either Prime Rate or 195 basis points
         above LIBOR. The Company pays commitment fees of 0.50% on the unused
         portion of the revolving line of credit. The credit agreement also
         provides for the issuance of letters of credit that are generally used
         in connection with international merchandise purchases. Outstanding
         letters of credit issued by the bank reduce amounts otherwise
         available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit. The credit
         facility subjects the Company to various restrictions on the
         incurrence of additional indebtedness, acquisitions, loans to officers
         and stock repurchases. The covenants also require the Company to
         maintain certain tangible net worth, working capital, net income and
         fixed charge coverage minimums as well as certain other ratios.
         Amounts available to borrow under the line of credit, as limited by
         the cash flow multiple, totaled $9.4 million at October 30, 1999. No
         borrowings were outstanding under the revolving line at October 30,
         1999. As of October 30, 1999, letters of credit in the amount of $0.6
         million were issued and outstanding. Any amount borrowed under the
         revolving line of credit will become due on June 1, 2000, the date the
         credit agreement matures.

3.       CONTINGENCY

         The lawsuit filed on August 19, 1998 in the United States District
         Court for the Northern District of Texas on behalf of purchasers of
         the publicly traded securities of the Company within the inclusive
         period of July 9, 1998 through July 22, 1998

         alleging misleading and incomplete public disclosures regarding the
         Company's sales results was dismissed by the court, with prejudice, on
         October 29, 1999.

4.       PROVISION FOR STORE CLOSING COSTS

         In the third quarter of 1999, the Company, with Board approval,
         decided to close two stores that had been identified as
         under-performing and recognized a $405,000 provision for store closing
         costs. As of September 26, 1999, both stores had been closed.
         Management expects all costs related to the closing of the two stores
         to be incurred by January 29, 2000. The components of the provision
         and an analysis of the amounts charged against the accrual are
         outlined in the table below (in thousands).

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Gadzooks is a leading, mall-based specialty retailer of casual apparel and
related accessories for young men and women principally between the ages of 14
and 18. As of October 30, 1999, the Company had opened 15 new stores since the
beginning of the fiscal year, closed 2 stores, and operated 325 stores in 33
states east of the Rocky Mountains.

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

Third Quarter Ended October 30, 1999 Compared to Third Quarter Ended October
31, 1998

Net sales increased approximately $5.8 million, or 11.4 percent, to $56.5
million during the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $50.7 million during the
comparable quarter of fiscal 1998. Comparable store sales increased 4.6 percent
for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in comparable store sales
was primarily due to increased sales in the junior and men's categories. 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 $3.8 million to $15.3 million during the
third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $11.5 million during the comparable quarter of
fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 27.01
percent from 22.75 percent in the comparable quarter of last year. The majority
of the increase in gross profit resulted from an increase in merchandise margin
of 382 basis points. The Company's updated product offerings, which consist
increasingly of branded merchandise, allowed the Company to generate improved
inventory sell-through with a reduced level of retail markdowns that led to the
improvement in merchandise margin. Store occupancy costs (which are somewhat
fixed in nature), as a percent of sales, decreased by 19 basis points due to
leverage achieved as a result of the comparable store sales increase. Buying and
distribution costs, as a percent of sales, decreased by 25 basis points as a
result of both operating and comparable store sales leverage.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased approximately
$1.3 million to $14.1 million during the third quarter of 1999 from $12.8
million during the comparable quarter of fiscal 1998. The aggregate increase in
SG&A is primarily attributable to additional store expenses as a result of the
Company's expanded store base during the past year and an increase in
administrative costs to support the larger store base. As a percentage of net
sales, SG&A decreased to 25.01 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 1999
from 25.30 percent during the comparable quarter of last year. The


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

decrease in the SG&A as a percentage of sales is due primarily to the Company's
ability to leverage corporate SG&A expenses as a result of the comparable store
sales increase.

The Company's net interest income decreased $11,000 to $100,000 during the
third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $111,000 in the comparable period of last
year.

PROVISION FOR STORE CLOSING COSTS

In the third quarter of 1999, the Company, with Board approval, decided to close
two stores that had been identified as under-performing and recognized a
$405,000 provision for store closing costs. As of September 26, 1999, both
stores had been closed. Management expects all costs related to the closing of
the two stores to be incurred by January 29, 2000. The components of the
provision and an analysis of the amounts charged against the accrual are
outlined in the table in Note 4 of the "Notes to the Financial Statements".

As indicated in the table in Note 4 of the "Notes to the Financial Statements",
the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $184,000 to reflect the
two stores' fixtures and leasehold improvements at their estimated fair value.
Management regularly reviews the performance of all the Company's stores. If
management determines that it is unlikely that a store's sales volume will
increase to a level that would allow the store to contribute to the Company's
profitability, management will consider remedial actions up to and including
closing the store. If the Board of Directors approves a plan for closing a
store or stores, the Company will recognize a provision for store closing costs
during the quarter in which such approval is granted.

Nine Months Ended October 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 31,
1998

Net sales increased approximately $22.2 million, or 15.4 percent, to $166.1
million during the first nine months of fiscal 1999 from $143.9 million during
the comparable period of fiscal 1998. Comparable store sales increased 2.7
percent for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The balance of the sales
increase was attributable to new stores not yet included in the comparable
store sales base.

Gross profit increased approximately $8.4 million to $44.9 million during the
first nine months of fiscal 1999 from $36.5 million during the comparable
period of fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to
27.06 percent from 25.38 percent in the comparable period of last year. The
improvement in gross profit was due to improved merchandise margins, with store
occupancy and buying and distribution costs, as a percent of sales, essentially
flat year-to-date.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $6.3
million to $41.2 million during the first nine months of 1999 from $34.9
million during the comparable period of fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 24.83 percent
of sales from 24.23 percent of sales last year. The increase in the SG&A as a
percentage of sales is primarily due to increased spending for management
information systems support and retail field management.

Net interest income decreased $50,000 to $359,000 during the first nine months
of fiscal 1999 from $409,000 in the comparable period of last year due to the
use of short-term


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

cash investments to fund the Company's continuing store expansion, store
refurbishments, and purchase of management information systems.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General. The Company's primary uses of cash are financing new store openings
and purchasing merchandise inventories. As a result of a previously announced
slow-down in the Company's new store openings, the Company expects its primary
use of cash for the remainder of the current fiscal year to be the purchase of
merchandise inventory. The Company is currently meeting its cash requirements
through cash flow from operations and cash on hand. Historically, the Company's
cash requirements for inventory purchases peak from November to mid-December as
inventory levels build for the holiday shopping season. The Company may have to
borrow under its bank credit facility (see description below) during this
period. The Company anticipates that any such borrowings should be repaid by
the end of the calendar year.

Cash Flows. At October 30, 1999, cash and cash equivalents were $6.5 million, a
decrease of $9.9 million since January 30, 1999. The primary uses of cash were
increased inventory levels of $8.0 million, principally in connection with the
15 new stores opened during the current year, and capital expenditures of $5.8
million comprised primarily of $2.4 million, $1.8 million, and $1.3 million for
new stores, store refurbishments/remodels and information systems,
respectively. The primary source of cash for the first nine months of fiscal
1999 was net income before depreciation of $6.6 million. The Company opened 15
new stores during the first nine months of 1999 compared with 61 new stores
opened during the same period of the prior year.

Credit Facility. On May 14, 1999, the Company renewed and revised its existing
credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank. The revised facility provides an
unsecured revolving line of credit totaling $10 million. The total amount
available to borrow pursuant to the credit agreement is limited to 150% of cash
flow (as defined in the credit agreement) for the trailing 12-month period.
Amounts borrowed under the revolving line bear interest at the lesser of either
Prime Rate or 195 basis points above LIBOR. The Company pays commitment fees of
0.50% on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit. The credit
agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that are
generally used in connection with international merchandise purchases.
Outstanding letters of credit issued by the bank reduce amounts otherwise
available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit. The credit facility
subjects the Company to various restrictions on the incurrence of additional
indebtedness, acquisitions, loans to officers and stock repurchases. The
covenants also require the Company to maintain certain tangible net worth,
working capital, net income and fixed charge coverage minimums as well as
certain other ratios. Amounts available to borrow under the line of credit, as
limited by the cash flow multiple, totaled $9.4 million at October 30, 1999. No
borrowings were outstanding under the revolving line at October 30, 1999.
Letters of credit in the amount of $0.6 million were outstanding as of October
30, 1999. Any amount borrowed under the revolving line of credit will become
due on June 1, 2000, the date the credit agreement matures.

Management believes that the Company's working capital, credit facility and
cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet the Company's
operating and capital requirements through the end of fiscal 1999.


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Capital Expenditures. The Company estimates that capital expenditures for the
remainder of the year will be approximately $1.0 million for new stores, store
refurbishments/remodels and information systems. The Company has opened 4 new
stores during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company estimates that its
average capital expenditures to open a new store, including leasehold
improvements and furniture and fixtures, are approximately $185,000
(approximately $130,000 net of landlord construction allowances). The typical
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. Pre-opening costs range from $10,000
to $13,000 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 as incurred.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 issue is the result of some computer programs having been written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any computer
programs that have date sensitive software and use the two-digit method of
determining time periods may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions.

The Company has received formal communications from the third-party suppliers
of its merchandising, financial and store point-of-sale software systems that
confirm these core systems are Year 2000 compliant.

The Company has assessed and compiled a project list of certain software
developed by the Company requiring modification or replacement in order to
become Year 2000 compliant. Management presently believes that all identified
modifications or replacements have been completed and tested as of October
1999. However, if additional modifications or replacements are later identified
and not completed timely, the Year 2000 issue could have a negative impact on
the operations of the Company.

In addition, the Company has initiated formal communications with its shipping
companies and has formulated a contingency plan to ensure that the delivery of
merchandise to its distribution center and stores will not be affected by the
Year 2000 issue. No vendor represents more than 10% of the Company's sales;
however, the Company has contacted key vendors for the holiday season for
clarification on their Year 2000 plans in order to ensure merchandise receipts
will not be disrupted. There can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems or operations rely will be timely
converted or that a failure to convert by another company will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company has utilized both internal and external resources to modify, or
replace, and test its information systems for Year 2000 compliance. The costs
associated with ensuring Year 2000 compliance have been expensed as incurred
except for new systems or modules purchased or created to replace non-Year 2000
compliant versions, which have been capitalized in accordance with current
accounting guidelines. The Company has spent approximately $450,000 to achieve

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and
does not purchase as investments, as hedges, or for purposes "other than
trading" instruments that are likely to expose the Company to market risk,
whether it be from interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or
equity price risk. The Company has issued no debt instruments, entered into no
forward or futures contracts, purchased no options, and entered into no swaps.

The Company's primary market risk exposure is that of interest rate risk. A
change in LIBOR or the Prime Rate, as set by Wells Fargo Bank, would affect the
rate at which the Company could borrow funds under its revolving line of
credit.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING DISCLOSURE

Certain sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the preceding
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning
future events. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, and the Company cautions that these statements are further
qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 1999.
