6 DAVE & BUSTER'S, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED) (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) NOTE 1: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods. NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dave & Buster's, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated balance sheet data presented herein for January 30, 2000 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year then ended. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. The Company's one industry segment is the ownership and operation of restaurant/entertainment Complexes (a "Complex" or "Store") under the name "Dave & Buster's" which are principally located in the United States. NOTE 3: LONG-TERM DEBT The Company is currently negotiating a new $110,000,000 senior secured credit facility. This facility will replace the existing $100,000,000 secured revolving line of credit. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. NOTE 4: CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, based on discussions with and advice of legal counsel, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the consolidated results of operations or financial conditions of the Company.

7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Results of Operations - 13 Weeks Ended April 30, 2000 Compared to 13 Weeks Ended May 2, 1999 Total revenues increased to $77,849 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $59,700 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999, an increase of $18,149 or 30%. The increase in revenues was attributable to incremental revenues from six complexes opened after April 1, 1999 and increased revenues at comparable stores. Revenues at comparable stores increased 0.7% for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000. The increase in comparable stores revenues was attributable to a 2% overall price increase and a higher average check. Total revenues for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from licensing agreements were $141. Cost of revenues increased to $14,015 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $11,038 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999, an increase of $2,977 or 27%. The increase was principally attributable to the 30% increase in revenues. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 18% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from 18.5% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999 due to lower food, beverage and amusement costs. Operating payroll and benefits increased to $23,265 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $17,767 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999, an increase of $5,498 or 31%. As a percentage of revenue, operating payroll and benefits increased to 29.9% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from 29.8% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999 due to higher variable labor costs offset by lower fixed labor costs. Other store operating expenses increased to $21,838 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $15,055 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999, an increase of $6,783 or 45%. As a percentage of revenues, other store operating expenses were 28.1% of revenues in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 as compared to 25.2% of revenues in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999. Other store operating expenses were higher due to increased marketing and occupancy costs at the stores. General and administrative increased to $4,850 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $3,441 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999, an increase of $1,409 or 41%. The increase over the prior comparable period resulted from increased administrative payroll and related costs for new personnel, and additional costs associated with the Company's growth. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.2% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from 5.8% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999. Depreciation and amortization increased to $5,734 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $4,158 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999, an increase of $1,576 or 38%. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 7.4% from 6.9% for the comparable period. The increase was attributable to new stores. Preopening costs increased to $2,055 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $1,696 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999. The timing of complex openings affects the amount of such costs in any given period. Interest expense increased to $1,527 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $493 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher debt in fiscal year 2000. The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 was 36.7% as compared to 37.0% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999.

8 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flows from operations increased to $10,516 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 from $9,196 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1999. The increase was attributable to a decrease in income before cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle offset by the timing of operational receipts. The Company has a secured revolving line of credit, which permits borrowing up to a maximum of $100,000. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or, at the Company's option, the bank's prime rate plus, in each case, a margin based upon financial performance (8.4% at April 30, 2000) and is secured by all capital stock or equity interest in the stock of the Company and its subsidiaries. The facility, which matures in May 2001, has certain financial covenants including a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level, a maximum leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage, and maximum level of capital expenditures on new Stores. At April 30, 2000, $5,000 was available under this facility. The Company is currently negotiating a new $110,000,000 senior secured credit facility. The facility is expected to include a five-year revolver and five and seven-year term debt. Borrowing under the facility is expected to bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR or, at the Company's option, the bank's prime rate plus, in each case, a margin based upon financial performance and is secured by all assets of the Company. The new facility is expected to have certain financial covenants including a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level, a maximum leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage and maximum level of capital expenditures. However, there is no assurance that the Company can secure these additional resources. The Company's plan is to open four complexes in fiscal 2000 and 2001, respectively. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be approximately $42,000 and $47,000 for 2000 and 2001, respectively. The Company intends to finance this development with cash flow from operations, the senior revolving credit facility, and other additional resources which management is currently pursuing. During 2000, the Company has opened new complexes in Milpitas (San Jose), California and Westminster (Denver), Colorado.
