GADZOOKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain
         all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
         necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 29, 2000
         and January 29, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for
         the second quarter and six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31,
         1999. The results of operations for the second quarter and six months
         then ended are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
         for the full fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as
         of January 29, 2000 is derived from audited financial statements. The
         condensed consolidated 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
         29, 2000.

         Fiscal year: The Company's fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period
         that ends on the Saturday closest to the end of January. "Fiscal 2000"
         is the 53-week period ending February 3, 2001.

         Classification of Discounts on Employee Sales: The Company has
         historically recorded discounts related to the sale of merchandise to
         employees as a component of selling, general and administrative
         expenses ("SG&A"). Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2000,
         such discounts will be reported as a reduction of sales in all Company
         financial statements. As a result, gross profit will be reduced by the
         amount of the employee discounts each period, which will be totally
         offset by a like reduction in SG&A expenses. In order to maintain
         consistency and comparability between periods, employee discounts have
         been retroactively reflected as a reduction of sales for the quarter
         ended July 31, 1999 and six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31,
         1999. The reclassification represents a change in income statement
         presentation only and has no impact on net income or earnings per
         share. Employee discounts totaled $333,000 and $331,000 for the second
         quarter ended July 29, 2000 and July 31,1999, and $637,000 and $614,000
         for the six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively.

         Principles of Consolidation: In June 2000, the Company completed a
         corporate restructuring. The consolidated financial statements include
         the accounts of Gadzooks, Inc. and its wholly-owned affiliates,
         Gadzooks Holding Company and Gadzooks Management, L.P. All significant
         intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         Reclassification: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
         conform to the current year's presentation.

2.       LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

         On June 1, 2000, the Company renewed and revised its existing credit
         facility with Wells Fargo Bank. The revised facility provides an
         unsecured revolving line of credit totaling $15 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 the bank's prime rate, or 195
         basis points above LIBOR. The Company pays commitment fees of 0.33% 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, debt to equity,
         net income and fixed charge coverage minimums as well as certain other
         ratios customary in such agreements. Amounts available

(Unaudited)


         to borrow under the line of credit, as limited by the cash flow
         multiple, totaled $14.2 million at July 29, 2000. No borrowings
         (excluding letters of credit) were outstanding under the revolving line
         at July 29, 2000. Any amount borrowed under the revolving line of
         credit will become due on June 1, 2001, the date the credit agreement
         matures.

3.       PROVISION FOR STORE CLOSING COSTS

         During fiscal 1999, the Company decided to close eight stores that had
         been identified as under-performing and, as a result, recognized a $1.2
         million pre-tax provision for costs related to closing the facilities
         and reflecting long-lived assets located at these stores at their
         respective estimated net realizable values. As of July 29, 2000, six of
         the eight stores had been closed with the remaining two slated for
         closure by the end of fiscal 2000. As of July 29, 2000, the costs
         related to the six stores already closed had been incurred. An analysis
         of the amounts charged against the accrual since January 29, 2000 is
         outlined in the table below (in thousands).

         quarters ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. Sales of
         the stores closed or slated for closure were $446,852 and $1,648,824,
         and operating losses were ($54,894) and ($450,801) for the six months

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


GENERAL

Gadzooks is a 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 July 29, 2000, the Company had opened 20 new stores and closed one store
since the beginning of the fiscal year, and operated 345 stores in 35 states.

The Company's business is subject to seasonal influences with 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

The second quarter ended July 29, 2000 compared to the second quarter ended July
31, 1999

         Net Sales

Net sales increased approximately $6.5 million, or 11.3 percent, to $64.2
million during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $57.7 million during the
comparable quarter of fiscal 1999. The total Company sales increase was equally
attributed to comparable store sales ($3.2 million) and to the 35 new stores not
yet included in the comparable store sales base ($3.3 million). Comparable store
sales increased 5.7 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company
experienced comparable store sales increases in its juniors, unisex (t-shirts)
and accessory categories, which more than offset decreases in its men's and
footwear categories. The comparable store sales increase is due to several
factors, including a greater concentration of brand-name merchandise,
enhancements to the stores' appearance and visual merchandising changes. The
overall increase in sales was due to an increase in unit sales, which was
slightly offset by a decrease in retail prices. A store becomes comparable after
it has been open for 14 full fiscal months.

         Gross profit

Gross profit increased approximately $1.5 million to $16.8 million during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $15.3 million during the comparable quarter
of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 40 basis
points to 26.2 percent from 26.6 percent for the comparable quarter of last
year. Merchandise margins as a percentage of sales were 10 basis points lower
than the prior year. This decrease is primarily attributable to a more
promotional retail environment during the second quarter this year. In addition
to the decrease in merchandise margins, the Company experienced a 28 basis point
increase in buying and distribution costs as a percentage of sales. Occupancy
costs, as a percentage of sales, were essentially flat to prior year. The
increase in buying and distribution costs (which are relatively fixed in
nature), as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to a distribution center
wage increase.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.0
million to $14.6 million during the second quarter of 2000 from $13.6 million
during the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999. 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 chain. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased
80 basis points to 22.7 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from
23.5 percent during the second quarter of last year. The decrease in the SG&A
percentage is due primarily to the Company's ability to leverage corporate
overhead and store costs as a result of the comparable store sales increase.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9


         Interest

The Company's net interest income increased $96,000 to $211,000 during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $115,000 in the comparable period of last
year due primarily to higher average cash balances.


The six months ended July 29, 2000 compared to the six months ended July 31,
1999

         Net Sales

Net sales increased approximately $18.3 million, or 16.8 percent, to $127.2
million during the first six months of fiscal 2000 from $108.9 million during
the comparable period of fiscal 1999. The total Company sales increase was
primarily attributed to comparable store sales ($11.8 million) and, to a lesser
extent the 35 new stores not yet included in the comparable store sales base
($6.5 million). Comparable store sales increased 11.1 percent for the first six
months of fiscal 2000. The Company experienced comparable store sales increases
in all of its major categories except for footwear. The comparable store sales
increase is due to several factors, including a greater concentration of
brand-name merchandise, enhancements to the stores' appearance and visual
merchandising changes. The overall increase in sales was due to an increase in
unit sales, which was slightly offset by a decrease in retail prices.

         Gross profit

Gross profit increased approximately $5.6 million to $34.7 million during the
first six months of fiscal 2000 from $29.1 million during the comparable period
of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 59 basis
points to 27.3 percent from 26.7 percent for the comparable six months of last
year. Merchandise margins as a percentage of sales were 32 basis points lower
than the prior year. This decrease is primarily attributable to a more
aggressive inventory management program, which resulted in an increase in
markdowns and, to a lesser extent, the product mix consisting of a higher
percentage of brand-name merchandise. The decrease in merchandise margins was
more than offset, however, by 87 basis point and 4 basis point decreases in
occupancy and buying and distribution costs as a percentage of sales,
respectively. The decreases in occupancy and buying and distribution costs
(which are relatively fixed in nature) as a percentage of sales were primarily
the result of comparable store sales increases.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A increased approximately $2.2 million to $28.7 million during the first six
months of 2000 from $26.5 million during the comparable six months of fiscal
1999. 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 chain.
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased 170 basis points to 22.6 percent
during the first six months of fiscal 2000 from 24.3 percent during the
comparable six months of last year. The decrease in the SG&A percentage is due
primarily to the Company's ability to leverage corporate overhead and store
payroll costs as a result of the comparable store sales increase.

         Interest

The Company's net interest income increased $197,000 to $456,000 during the
first six months of fiscal 2000 from $259,000 in the comparable period of last
year due primarily to higher average cash balances.

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 cash and cash equivalents
on-hand.

         Cash Flows

At July 29, 2000, cash and cash equivalents were $13.1 million, down $5.6
million since January 29, 2000. The Company's primary uses of cash so far this
year are as follows: increased inventory levels of $3.7 million, capital
expenditures of $5.4 million primarily for new or remodeled stores and
outfitting some stores with loss prevention systems, an increase in accounts
receivable of $1.8 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.7 million.
The Company opened 20 new stores during the first six months of 2000 as compared
with 12 new stores in the same period of the prior year.

         Credit Facility

On June 1, 2000, the Company renewed and revised its existing credit facility
with Wells Fargo Bank. The revised facility provides an unsecured revolving line
of credit totaling $15 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 the bank's prime rate, or
195 basis points above LIBOR. The Company pays commitment fees of 0.33% 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, debt to equity, net
income and fixed charge coverage minimums as well as certain other ratios
customary in such agreements. Amounts available to borrow under the line of
credit, as limited by the cash flow multiple, totaled $14.2 million at July 29,
2000. No borrowings (excluding letters of credit) were outstanding under the
revolving line at July 29, 2000. Any amount borrowed under the revolving line of
credit will become due on June 1, 2001, the date the credit agreement matures.

         Capital Expenditures

The Company has opened 20 new stores so far this year, and anticipates opening
an additional 29 stores during the remainder of the year. Capital expenditures
for the remainder of the year are estimated to be approximately $4.5 million to
open the remaining stores, update or remodel existing stores and to purchase
and/or upgrade information systems.

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 2000.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting for derivatives and hedging activities -- In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivatives and Hedging Activities." The provisions of SFAS No. 133 are
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS. No. 133 will have
a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Revenue recognition - In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements ("SAB 101"). The SEC has extended the implementation date
of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. Based on management's review of SAB 101 to date, we do
not believe that the interpretations will materially affect the Company's
current revenue recognition policies, and thus will not have a significant
impact on its future results of operations or financial position.

Accounting for certain transactions involving stock compensation - In March
2000, the FASB issued FIN 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation (an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25)". FIN 44 clarifies
the application of APB 25 for certain issues and was effective July 1, 2000. The
Company does not believe that the interpretation will have a significant impact
on the Company's financial statements.

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 DISCLOSURES

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," may 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 29, 2000.
