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 October 28, 2000 and January
      29, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the third
      quarter and nine months ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999. The
      results of operations for the third quarter and nine 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 October 30, 1999
      and nine months ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 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 $320,000 and $308,000 for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000
      and October 30, 1999, and $957,000 and $922,000 for the nine months ended
      October 28, 2000 and October 30, 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 $13.7 million at October 28, 2000. No borrowings (excluding
      letters of credit) were outstanding under the revolving line at October
      28, 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 October 28, 2000, six of the eight
      stores had been closed with the remaining two slated for closure by the
      end of fiscal 2000. As of October 28, 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).

                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 October 28, 2000, the Company had opened 43 new stores and closed one
store since the beginning of the fiscal year, and operated 368 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 third quarter ended October 28, 2000 compared to the third quarter ended
October 30, 1999

      Net Sales

Net sales increased approximately $11.1 million, or 19.8 percent, to $67.3
million during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from $56.2 million during the
comparable quarter of fiscal 1999. The total Company sales increase was
attributed to comparable store sales increases ($5.1 million) and to the 50 new
stores not yet included in the comparable store sales base ($6.0 million).
Comparable store sales increased 9.3 percent for the third 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 $3.5 million to $18.5 million during the
third quarter of fiscal 2000 from $15.0 million during the comparable quarter of
fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased approximately
90 basis points to 27.5 percent from 26.6 percent for the comparable quarter of
last year. The 90 basis point improvement was due to an increase in merchandise
margins as a percentage of sales and decreases in buying, distribution and store
occupancy costs as a percentage of sales. The increase in merchandise margins is
primarily the result of reduced promotional activities during the period and the
Company's expansion of its private label merchandise offerings, which generally
provide for higher initial markups and better merchandise margins.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.3
million to $15.1 million during the third quarter of 2000 from $13.8 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
approximately 210 basis points to 22.5 percent during the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 from 24.6 percent during the third 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. In addition, the Company was able to leverage corporate overhead
over its larger store base.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

      Interest

The Company's net interest income increased $102,000 to $202,000 during the
third quarter of fiscal 2000 from $100,000 in the comparable period of last year
due primarily to higher average cash balances.

The nine months ended October 28, 2000 compared to the nine months ended October
30, 1999

      Net Sales

Net sales increased approximately $29.4 million, or 17.8 percent, to $194.5
million during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $165.1 million during
the comparable period of fiscal 1999. The total Company sales increase was
primarily attributed to comparable store sales ($16.9 million) and, to a lesser
extent, the 50 new stores not yet included in the comparable store sales base
($12.5 million). Comparable store sales increased 10.5 percent for the first
nine 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 $9.2 million to $53.2 million during the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $44.0 million during the comparable period
of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased
approximately 70 basis points to 27.4 percent from 26.7 percent for the
comparable nine months of last year. The 70 basis point improvement was the
result of decreases in buying, distribution and store occupancy costs as a
percentage of sales, offset by slightly lower merchandise margins as a
percentage of sales. The decreases in buying, distribution and store occupancy
costs as a percentage of sales were due to the leveraging effect of the 10.5
percent year-to-date comparable store sales increase. The slight decline in
merchandise margin as a percentage of sales was caused primarily by increased
retail markdowns during the first six months of the year.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A increased approximately $3.5 million to $43.8 million during the first nine
months of 2000 from $40.3 million during the comparable nine 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 190 basis points to 22.5 percent
during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 from 24.4 percent during the
comparable nine 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 $300,000 to $659,000 during the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $359,000 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 October 28, 2000, cash and cash equivalents were $7.2 million, down $11.5
million since January 29, 2000. The Company's primary uses of cash so far this
year are as follows: increased inventory levels of $10.5 million, capital
expenditures of $9.0 million primarily for new or remodeled stores and
outfitting some stores with loss prevention systems, an increase in accounts
receivable of $4.9 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $3.3 million.
The Company opened 43 new stores during the first nine months of 2000 as
compared with 15 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 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 $13.7 million at October 28, 2000. No borrowings
(excluding letters of credit) were outstanding under the revolving line at
October 28, 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

As of the filing date of this document, the Company has opened all 52 new stores
scheduled for opening this year. Capital expenditures for the remainder of the
year are estimated to be approximately $2.0 million to complete the new 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, the
Company does 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
adoption of the interpretation did not 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.
