The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 3 TRACK 'N TRAIL AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION INTERIM RESULTS The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks and 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 and 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements have not been audited by independent public accountants, but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 1999 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Track 'n Trail, a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"), has historically experienced significant quarterly fluctuations due to seasonality in operating results and it expects that these fluctuations in sales, expenses, and net income or losses will continue. The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto incorporated by reference from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 1999. 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company records sales net of actual and estimated future returns. Layaway sales are not significant. 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share by entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock, that then shared in earnings of the entity. 4 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE (continued) A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations under SFAS No. 128 is as follows (in thousands, except per share information):

For the 13 weeks and 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 and the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999, all warrants and options outstanding were not dilutive and, accordingly, were not included in the weighted number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. For the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999, all warrants outstanding and certain options with exercise prices in excess of market value were not dilutive and, accordingly, were not included in the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. 4. RESTRUCTURING RESERVES In fiscal 1999 the Company adopted a restructuring plan to close 42 stores during the first 120 days of fiscal 2000. A reserve was established in fiscal 1999 for $4.8 million for lease termination and other related costs and for severance payments for 12 administrative employees. During the first quarter in fiscal 2000, the Company had completed the closure of all 42 stores and had paid $82,000 in employee severance for 12 administrative employees. Additionally, 15 lease buyouts were negotiated in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 for $809,000. An additional $112,000 was paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 for legal and other related costs for the 15 completed lease buyouts. Based on current economic and competitive factors, the Company has determined that it will reopen one of the 42 stores closed as part of the 1999 restructuring plan during the third quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company reviewed the adequacy of its remaining reserves related to the 1999 restructuring plan based on expected future payments. Based on this review, the Company reduced its reserve for lease termination and related costs by $573,000 including $54,000 for the one store planned to be reopened. The $573,000 consists of $452,000 related to the better than expected results for completed lease buyouts and $121,000 which was a reserve established against a construction allowance for one of the closed stores. This $121,000 reserve was written off against the associated receivable resulting in no effect on income. Remaining reserves under the restructuring plan relate to the remaining lease obligations and related costs. The following table sets forth the activity in the restructuring reserves (in thousands): 5

Additionally, in fiscal 1999, the Company recorded charges of $3.8 million in cost of sales to reduce inventory to its net realizable value in the stores scheduled for closure and $493,000 in severance and related expenses in connection with management changes. Due to the successful completion of the liquidation process, the Company reduced cost of sales by $290,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2000. In addition, during the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000, the Company reduced administrative and distribution expenses by $93,000 for a severance reserve established in fiscal 1999 in connection with the management changes during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT In March 2000, the Company obtained a 60 month senior revolving credit facility ("New Revolver") with borrowing availability up to $25.0 million dollars. The New Revolver bears variable interest and is collateralized by all of the Company's assets. Borrowings under the New Revolver are limited to specified percentages of eligible inventory and accounts receivable. The New Revolver prohibits the Company from paying dividends without the lender's consent and limits the Company's capital expenditures. In addition, the New Revolver requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including minimum financial ratios and profitability ratios. As the New Revolver is not scheduled to mature until March 2005, the outstanding balance at July 1, 2000 has been classified as noncurrent. PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT. In addition to historical information, this Management's Discussion and Analysis includes certain forward-looking statements regarding events and financial trends which may affect the Company's future operating results and financial position. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results and financial position to differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below. These and other risks and uncertainties related to the business are described in detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading "Risk Factors". Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. OVERVIEW The Company is one of the largest full-service specialty retailers in the United States focusing on a broad range of high-quality branded casual, outdoor and adventure footwear. Pursuant to the reorganization (the "Reorganization") effected in October 1997, the Company acquired the businesses conducted by its subsidiaries, Track `n Trail, a California corporation ("Track `n Trail - California"), and Overland Management Corporation ("Overland"). The Reorganization was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. In August 1998 the Company acquired Nevin's Eagles Nest, Inc. ("Eagles Nest"), a retailer of premium branded outdoor apparel. In December 1999, the Company adopted a plan to restructure operations and divest itself of its Eagles Nest locations and also close 35 marginal or unprofitable Track `n Trail and Overland Trading stores. The Company operates in a single business segment. As of July 1, 2000, the Company operated 112 Track `n Trail stores and 44 Overland Trading stores in 33 states. Comparable store sales are commonly used as a performance measurement by retail companies. The Company defines comparable stores as those stores that were open for the full fiscal period and for the full prior fiscal year. The 6 Company's comparable store net sales decreased 4.5% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000 and decreased 1.3% for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 versus the comparable 27 week period in 1999. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussions compare the Company's results of operations for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000 with its results for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999, and the Company's results of operations for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 with its results for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. The results achieved in these periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved in future periods. The following comparative information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for each period discussed, as well as the information presented in all other sections of this Management's Discussion and Analysis. THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 26, 1999 NET SALES Net sales were $23.1 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $5.2 million, or 18.3%, over net sales for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. Net sales for the 36 stores closed (net of openings) subsequent to fiscal 1998 accounted for $4.0 million of the decrease in net sales. Comparable store net sales for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000 decreased $994,000, or 4.5%. The decrease in comparable store net sales is primarily due to soft sandal sales resulting from an over-supply of sandals in the market. The Company expects to open two additional stores during the remainder of fiscal 2000. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit was $10.7 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $3.0 million, or 21.9%, over gross profit for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 46.5% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000 from 48.6% for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to additional markdowns taken in response to increased competition in the sandal market than experienced in the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES Selling and marketing expenses were $9.1 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $1.9 million, or 17.6%, from selling and marketing expenses for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. Approximately $800,000 of this decrease is attributable to the closure of the Eagles Nest stores in the first quarter of 2000. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to decreased operating costs related to operating 29 fewer Track `n Trail and Overland Trading stores at July 1, 2000 versus June 26, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses increased to 39.3% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000 from 38.9% for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999, primarily due to the decrease in comparable store net sales during the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000. ADMINISTRATIVE AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES Administrative and distribution expenses were $1.9 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $383,000, or 16.7%, from administrative and distribution expenses for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, administrative and distribution expenses increased to 8.3% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000 from 8.1% for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. The decrease in dollars is primarily due to a benefit derived from reversing a severance reserve of $93,000 in connection with management changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 and the closure of the Eagles Nest regional office in the first quarter of 2000. The increase in administration and distribution expenses as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the decrease in comparable store net sales during the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000. RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT, AND RELATED COSTS Restructuring, impairment, and related costs were ($340,000), or (1.5%), of net sales for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000. The benefit was a result of a $452,000 adjustment to the reserves related to the 1999 restructuring plan based on future payments (See Note 4 of the "Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements"). The benefit was offset by $112,000 7 paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 for legal and other related costs for 15 completed lease buyouts. No restructuring, impairment, and related costs were recorded during the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense was $413,000, or 1.8% of net sales, for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing an increase of $103,000 from interest expense of $310,000, or 1.1% of net sales, for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to increased prime lending rates during the past 12 months and an increase of the average outstanding principal balance of the Company's credit facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 over that of the second quarter of fiscal 1999. NET LOSS The Company's net loss for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2000 was $191,000, representing a decrease of $236,000 from a net income of $45,000 for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 1999. TWENTY-SEVEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 26, 1999 NET SALES Net sales were $46.5 million for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $5.1 million, or 9.9%, over net sales of $51.6 million for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. Net sales for the 36 stores closed (net of openings) subsequent to fiscal 1998 accounted for $6.5 million of the decrease in net sales. Comparable store net sales for the first 26 weeks in the period ended June 24, 2000 decreased $315,000, or 0.8%. These decreases were offset by a $1.8 million increase in net sales due to a one week shift in the fiscal calendar, which was caused by a change in the measurement period used for period-to-period comparisons (twenty-seven week period for the first half of fiscal 2000 and twenty-six week period for the first half of fiscal 1999). The Company expects to open two additional stores during the remainder of fiscal 2000. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit was $22.6 million for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $1.8 million, or 7.4%, over gross profit for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 48.7% for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 from 47.4% for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to two factors: 1) the $290,000 benefit derived from a better than expected liquidation of the 42 stores closed as part of the restructuring plan, and 2) the January 2000 closure of the Eagles Nest stores on which margins were generally lower than the margins on sales attributable to the Track `n Trail and Overland Trading stores. SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES Selling and marketing expenses were $19.0 million for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $2.9 million, or 13.3%, from selling and marketing expenses for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. Approximately $1.3 million of this decrease is attributable to the closure of the Eagles Nest stores in the first quarter of 2000. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to decreased operating costs related to operating 29 fewer Track `n Trail and Overland Trading stores at July 1, 2000 versus June 26, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 40.8% for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 from 42.4% for the 26 weeks ended July 26, 1999, primarily as a result of the spreading of monthly lease payments over an additional week of net sales. ADMINISTRATIVE AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES Administrative and distribution expenses were $4.2 million for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing a decrease of $457,000, or 9.7% from administrative and distribution expenses for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, administrative and distribution expenses were 9.1% for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 and 9.1% for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. The decrease in dollars is primarily due to the management changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of 1999 and the closure of the Eagles Nest regional office in the first quarter of 2000. 8 RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND RELATED COSTS Restructuring, impairment, and related costs were ($340,000), or (0.7%), of net sales for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000. The benefit was a result of a $452,000 adjustment to the reserves related to the 1999 restructuring plan based on future payments (See Note 4 of the "Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements"). The benefit was offset by $112,000 paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 for legal and other related costs for 15 completed lease buyouts. No restructuring, impairment, and related costs were recorded during the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense was $756,000, or 1.6% of net sales, for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000, representing an increase of $198,000 from interest expense of $558,000, or 1.1% of net sales, for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to increased prime lending rates during the past 12 months and an increase of the average outstanding principal balance of the Company's credit facility in the first half of fiscal 2000 over that of the first half of fiscal 1999. NET LOSS The Company's net loss for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 was $584,000, representing an improvement of $962,000 from a net loss of $1.5 million for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has financed its operations from internally generated cash flow, borrowings under its revolving line of credit, and equity financing. The Company's liquidity requirements relate primarily to the financing of inventories, build-out of new stores, remodeling of existing stores and the implementation of the restructuring plan. In March, management repaid the existing line of credit with Union Bank of California with a 60 month senior revolving credit facility ("New Revolver") with borrowing availability up to $25.0 million. The New Revolver bears variable interest and is collateralized by all of the Company's assets. Borrowings under the New Revolver are limited to specific percentages of eligible inventory and accounts receivable. The New Revolver prohibits the Company from paying dividends without the bank's consent and limits the Company's capital expenditures. In addition, the New Revolver requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including minimum financial ratios and profitability ratios. Net cash used for operating activities for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 was $1.7 million. Net cash used for or provided by operating activities has historically been driven by net income (loss) levels combined with fluctuations in inventory and accounts payable. Inventories at July 1, 2000 were $31.1 million compared to $34.1 million at December 25, 1999. The Company's average store inventories vary throughout the year and increase in advance of the peak selling periods of back-to-school and Christmas. The decrease in inventory between December 25, 1999 and July 1, 2000 relates primarily to the closure of 43 stores (net of openings) during the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000. This decrease is lessened by the fact that the inventory in the stores scheduled to be closed had been written down to its net realizable value at December 25, 1999 and by seasonal differences. The Company had $22.9 million in working capital as of July 1, 2000 compared to $7.1 million at the end of fiscal 1999, representing an increase of $15.8 million. The increase in working capital is primarily the result of reclassifying $16.0 million to long term debt as a result of the New Revolver. The Company's working capital needs historically have been seasonal and typically peak in the second and fourth quarters. The peak in the second quarter is due to the incurrence of operating losses in the first quarter and increased inventory purchased for the spring selling season. Working capital needs peak in the fourth quarter due to increases in inventory in advance of the holiday selling season and payments coming due for back-to-school merchandise. In addition, the Company requires incremental working capital to stock each new store upon opening. Capital expenditures were $466,000 for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000. Capital expenditures in the first 27 weeks of 2000 were primarily for the build-out of two stores opened in this period, the build-out of one store opened in 1999 and an upgrade to the corporate phone system. The Company estimates capital expenditures for the remainder of the 9 year to be approximately $150,000 for the build-out of approximately two additional stores, approximately $450,000 for the remodeling of three stores and approximately $50,000 for software and hardware upgrades. The Company reviews the operating performance of its stores on an ongoing basis to determine which stores, if any, to close. The Company closed 42 stores as part of the restructuring plan adopted in fiscal 1999 and three other underperforming stores in the first half of fiscal 2000. As of July 1, 2000, a reserve of $3.3 million remains for the remaining lease obligations and related costs associated with the 1999 restructuring plan. The Company anticipates that the remaining lease obligations will be paid by the end of fiscal 2000 by cash generated from operations and additional borrowings on the New Revolver. Net cash provided by financing activities for the 27 weeks ended July 1, 2000 was $212,000, and consisted of borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit to fund working capital requirements offset by loan fees associated with obtaining the New Revolver. Management believes that the Company's operating cash flow and borrowings under its New Revolver will be sufficient to complete the Company's fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001 store expansion program and to satisfy the Company's other capital requirements through such periods. The Company's capital requirements may vary significantly from those anticipated depending upon such factors as operating results, the number and timing of new store openings, and the number and size of any potential future acquisitions. As part of its growth strategy, the Company may, when appropriate, pursue opportunities to acquire complementary businesses. To the extent that the foregoing cash resources are insufficient to fund the purchase price of future acquisitions, if any, or the operations of any acquired business, additional external capital may be required. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on reasonable terms or at all. YEAR 2000 All phases of the Company's Y2K Plan were completed as scheduled. To date, the Company has not experienced any Year 2000 problems with respect to its corporate headquarters, store sites, or Third Parties. In addition, the Company has not experienced any loss in revenues due to the Year 2000 problem. Although unlikely, given that the Company has not experienced any Year 2000 problems to date, there can be no certainty that any future unforeseen Year 2000 problem will not adversely affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position or adversely affect the Company's relationships with customers, suppliers, vendors or others. CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS The Company anticipates that its operating results will fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number and timing of store openings and closures, seasonality, changes in pricing or promotion policies by the Company, its competitors or its suppliers, the availability and cost of merchandise, the ability of the Company to adjust to changing fashion trends and consumer acceptance of the products sold by the Company. The availability and cost of merchandise may, in turn, fluctuate due to a number of factors including changes in the Company's relationships with major suppliers, the Company's access to private label manufacturing capacity, foreign currency fluctuations and other risks associated with importing private label products from foreign countries. 10 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
