                             The Finish Line, Inc.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)
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 accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States 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 (including market acceptance of the Company's new merchandising
strategies undertaken by the new apparel buying team), the effect of economic
conditions, the effect of competitive products and pricing, the availability of
products, management of growth, the Company's ability to successfully execute
and benefit from its repositioning plan, 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 March 3, 2001.

    Throughout this document, the term fiscal 2002 refers to the Company's
current fiscal year which ends March 2, 2002.

2. Repositioning Reserves

    In the 4th quarter of 2001 the Company approved a repositioning plan and
recorded a pre-tax non-recurring charge totaling $19,809,000.  Those charges
included inventory markdowns, lease buyouts and asset impairment charges for 17
planned store closings, and asset impairment charges for 14 identified under-
performing stores.

    As of December 1, 2001 the Company has completed 11 of the 17 planned
store closures.  The Company has made payments of $309,000 against the lease
obligation reserve in 2002 and recorded reductions of the lease obligation
reserve of $1,209,000 as a change in estimate as a result of the successful
negotiation of lease termination costs regarding five stores.  The remaining
$2,288,000 lease obligation reserve represents expected future lease obligations
after store closure for the 6 remaining stores that are planned to be closed in
fiscal 2002.

    The reserve for inventory markdowns was reduced by a net of $11,551,000
for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001 in connection with the
Company's sale and liquidation of aged inventory below cost.  This reduction to
the reserve is net of an additional $502,000 charge (recorded in the 1st quarter
ended June 2, 2001) to cost of sales to record additional markdowns on inventory
to reflect it at its net realizable value.

Thirteen Weeks Ended December 1, 2001 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended November
25, 2000

    Net sales increased 5.8% to $142.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended
December 1, 2001 from $134.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 25,
2000.  This increase in net sales was primarily attributable to net sales from
new stores and a comparable store sales increase.  As of December 1, 2001, the
number of stores in operation increased 2.9% to 454 from 441 at November 25,
2000.  During the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2001, the Company's
comparable store sales increased 8.0% compared to the same period in the prior
year.  Comparable footwear net sales for the thirteen weeks ended December 1,
2001 increased approximately 11.7% versus the thirteen weeks ended November 25,
2000. Comparable activewear and accessories net sales decreased approximately
4.6% for the comparable period.  Activewear and accessories continue to be
negatively effected by the transition to new merchandising strategies undertaken
by the new apparel buying team.  Net sales per square foot increased to $53 from
$52 for the same thirteen week period of the prior year.

    Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2001 was $35.0
million, an increase of $1.8 million over the thirteen weeks ended November 25,
2000.  Gross profit was 24.6% of net sales for both comparable periods.  For
the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2001, margin for product sold decreased .6%
which was offset by a .6% decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage of net
sales.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million (3.6%)
to $38.7 million (27.3% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended December 1,
2001 from $37.4 million (27.8% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks ended
November 25, 2000.  This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the
operating costs related to operating 13 additional stores at December 1, 2001
versus November 25, 2000.  The decrease as a percentage of net sales is
primarily attributable to controls over store payroll and supplies along with
leverage created from the 8% comparable store gain for the quarter ended
December 1, 2001.

    In connection with the repositioning plan the Company established a reserve
for future lease payments for store closures of $3.8 million which was included
in accrued expenses at March 3, 2001.  The accrued expense was reduced $575,000
in the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2001 which represented payments of
$26,000 and a decrease in the expected future lease store closure obligation of
$549,000, which was taken back into income as a change in estimate.  The reserve
is reviewed periodically to determine its adequacy.

    Net interest income was $387,000 (.3% of net sales) for the thirteen weeks
ended December 1, 2001, compared to net interest income of $328,000 (.2% of net
sales) for the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2000, an increase of $59,000.
This increase was the result of increased invested cash balances for the
thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2001 compared to the same period of the prior
year.

    The Company had a benefit for income taxes of $1.0 million for the thirteen
weeks ended December 1, 2001, as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $1.5
million for the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2000.  The decrease is due to
the reduced level of loss before income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended
December 1, 2001, along with an decrease in the effective tax rate to 36.0% for
the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2001 from 37.0% for the thirteen weeks
ended November 25, 2000.

    Net loss decreased 26.9% to $1.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended
December 1, 2001 compared to $2.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended November
25, 2000.  Diluted net loss per share was $.07 for the thirteen weeks ended
December 1, 2001 compared to diluted net loss per share of $.10 for the thirteen
weeks ended November 25, 2000. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were
24,549,000 and 24,679,000 respectively, for the thirteen weeks ended December 1,
2001 and November 25, 2000.

                                       8


Thirty Nine Weeks Ended 12/01/01 Compared to Thirty Nine Weeks Ended 11/25/00

    Net sales increased 6.0% to $499.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
December 1, 2001 from $471.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November
25, 2000.  Of this increase, $11.1 million was attributable to a 2.9% increase
in the number of stores open during the period from 441 at November 25, 2000 to
454 at December 1, 2001.  The balance of the increase was attributable to a
$13.2 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 3.0% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001.  Comparable
footwear net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001, increased
approximately 6.0%.  Comparable activewear and accessories net sales decreased
approximately 9.7% for the comparable period.  Activewear and accessories
continue to be negatively effected by the transition to new merchandise
strategies undertaken by the new apparel buying team.  Net sales per square foot
increased to $188 from $186 for the same period of the prior year.

    Gross profit for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001 was $134.3
million, an increase of $7.3 million over the thirty-nine weeks ended November
25, 2000.  Gross profit was 26.9% of net sales for both comparable periods.  For
the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001 product margin increased .1% which
was offset by a .1% increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.6 million (6.6%)
to $122.0 million (24.4% of net sales) for the thirty-nine weeks ended December
1, 2001 from $114.5 million (24.3% of net sales) for the thirty nine weeks ended
November 25, 2000.  This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the
operating costs related to operating 13 additional stores at December 1, 2001
versus November 25, 2000.

    In connection with the repositioning plan the Company established a reserve
for future lease payments for store closures of $3.8 million which was included
in accrued expenses at March 3, 2001.  The accrued expense was reduced $1.5
million in the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001 which represented
payments of $309,000 and a decrease in the expected future lease store closure
obligation of $1.2 million, which was taken back into income as a change in
estimate.  The reserve is reviewed periodically to determine its adequacy.

    Net interest income was $1.3 million (.3% of net sales) for the thirty-nine
weeks ended December 1, 2001, compared to net interest income of $720,000 (.2%
of net sales) for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 25, 2000, an increase of
$605,000.  This increase was primarily the result of increased invested cash
balances due to the Company's progress with the liquidation of aged inventory.

    The Company's provision for federal and state income taxes was $5.3 million
for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001 compared to $4.9 million for
the thirty-nine weeks ended November 25, 2000.  The provision was effected by
the increased level in income before income taxes for the thirty-nine weeks
ended December 1, 2001, partially offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate
to 36.0% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001 from 37.0% for the
thirty-nine weeks ended November 25, 2000.

    Diluted net income per share increased 11.8% to $.38 for the thirty-nine
weeks ended December 1, 2001 compared to diluted net income per share of $.34
for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 25, 2000. Diluted weighted average
shares outstanding were 24,660,000 and 24,682,000 respectively for the periods
ended December 1, 2001 and November 25, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company had a net use of cash of $3.5 million from its operating
activities during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 1, 2001 as compared to
providing cash from its operating activities of $12.9 million during the thirty-
nine weeks ended November 25, 2000.

    The Company had a net use of cash from its investing activities of $8.5
million and $9.1 million for the thirty-nine week periods ended December 1, 2001
and November 25, 2000, respectively.  Of the $8.5 million used in fiscal 2002,
$10.5 million was used for new store construction and remodeling of existing
stores, which was partially offset by $1.0 million in net maturities and
proceeds from marketable securities.

    At December 1, 2001 the Company had cash equivalents of $30.4 million,
marketable securities of $5.5 million and no interest bearing debt.  Cash
equivalents are primarily invested in taxable 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.

    The Company had working capital of $142.1 million at December 1, 2001, an
increase of $8.5 million from the working capital of $133.6 million at March 3,
2001.

    Merchandise inventories were $167.1 million at December 1, 2001 compared to
$145.5 million at March 3, 2001.  On a per square foot basis, merchandise
inventories at December 1, 2001 decreased approximately 7.4% compared to
November 25, 2000.  Although merchandise inventories as of December 1, 2001 were
reduced on a per square foot basis, management believes levels are adequate
primarily due to less aged inventory being on hand due to the execution of the
Company's repositioning plan.

    As previously announced, the Company's expansion plans are to increase its
retail square footage by approximately 1-2% for fiscal 2003.  Management
believes that cash on hand and marketable securities, operating cash flow and
the Company's existing $60,000,000 bank facility, which expires on September 20,
2003,  will provide sufficient capital to complete the Company's fiscal 2003
store expansion program and to satisfy the Company's other capital requirements
through fiscal 2003 (which ends March 1, 2003).
