6 DAVE & BUSTER'S, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 6, 2001 (UNAUDITED) (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 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 wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated balance sheet data presented herein for February 4, 2001 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. CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("FAS 133") effective February 5, 2001. FAS 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of hedge, changes in fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. During the current quarter, the Company has entered into an agreement that expires in 2007, to fix its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt (5.44% at May 6, 2001) on notional amounts aggregating $55,000. The market risks associated with the agreements are mitigated because increased interest payments under the agreement resulting from a decrease in LIBOR are effectively offset by decreased payments under the debt obligation. The Company is exposed to credit losses for periodic settlements of amounts due under the agreements. Such amounts were not material at May 6, 2001. NOTE 3: 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 May 6, 2001 Compared to 13 Weeks Ended April 30, 2000 Total revenues increased to $88,210 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $77,849 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $10,361 or 13%. New stores opened in fiscal 1999 and 2000 and the first quarter of 2001 increased revenues during the period by $12,253. Revenues at comparable stores decreased 1.9% for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001. The decrease in comparable stores revenues was primarily attributable to a decline in company sponsored private parties offset by a higher average check. Total revenues for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from licensing agreements were $170. Cost of revenues increased to $16,495 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $14,015 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $2,480 or 18%. The increase was principally attributable to the 13% increase in revenues. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased to 18.7% in the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from 18% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 due to lower food and beverage costs offset by higher amusement costs associated with redemption and freight costs. Operating payroll and benefits increased to $27,224 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $23,265 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $3,959 or 17%. As a percentage of revenue, operating payroll and benefits increased to 30.9% in the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from 29.9% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000 due to slightly higher variable labor costs and higher incentive and fringe benefit costs. Other store operating expenses increased to $24,209 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $21,838 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $2,371 or 11%. As a percentage of revenues, other store operating expenses were 27.4% of revenues in the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 as compared to 28.1% of revenues in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000. Other store operating expenses as a percentage of revenue declined due to lower facility, marketing and occupancy costs offset by higher utility costs. General and administrative increased to $5,296 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $4,850 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $446 or 9%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.0% in the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from 6.2% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000. Depreciation and amortization increased to $6,751 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $5,734 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000, an increase of $1,017 or 18%. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 7.7% from 7.4% for the comparable period. Preopening costs decreased to $1,079 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $2,055 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000. The timing of complex openings affects the amount of such costs in any given period. Interest expense increased to $2,322 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $1,527 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due to higher debt and interest rates in fiscal year 2001. The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 was 36.2% as compared to 36.7% for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000.

8 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flows from operations decreased to $7,815 for the 13 weeks ended May 6, 2001 from $10,516 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2000. The decrease was attributable to increases in expenditures for inventory, prepaid items and previously accrued items. The Company has a $110,000 senior secured revolving credit and term loan facility. The facility includes a five-year revolver and five and seven-year term debt. Borrowing under the facility bears 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 (9.2% at May 6, 2001) and is secured by all assets of the Company. The facility 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. At May 6, 2001, $1,078 was available under this facility. The Company has entered into an agreement that expires in 2007, to fix its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt (5.44% at May 6, 2001) on notional amounts aggregating $55,000. The market risks associated with the agreements are mitigated because increased interest payments under the agreement resulting from a decrease in LIBOR are effectively offset by decreased payments under the debt obligation. The Company is exposed to credit losses for periodic settlements of amounts due under the agreements. Such amounts were not material at May 6, 2001. The Company's plan is to open four complexes in fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be approximately $44,000 and $48,000 for 2001 and 2002, respectively. The Company intends to finance this development with cash flow from operations, the senior secured revolving credit and term loan facility, and other additional resources which management is currently pursuing. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company opened a new store in Miami, Florida.
