GAMESTOP CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of GameStop Corp. (the Company) and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar
and share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and
notes to the consolidated financial statements are stated in
thousands unless otherwise indicated.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the Companys
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information
for the periods presented. These consolidated financial
statements are condensed and, therefore, do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual
report on Form 10-K/A for the 52 weeks ended
January 29, 2005. The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these
financial statements, management has made its best estimates and
judgments of certain amounts included in the financial
statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in
the estimates and assumptions used by management could have
significant impact on the Companys financial results.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On April 18, 2005, the Company and Electronics Boutique
Holdings Corp. (Electronics Boutique) announced that
they entered into a merger agreement whereby separate
subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company named GSC
Holdings Corp. (Holdco) will be merged with and into
the Company and Electronics Boutique, respectively, and the
Company and Electronics Boutique will become wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Holdco. In the proposed mergers, Electronics
Boutique common stockholders will have the right to receive
$38.15 in cash and .78795 of a share of Holdco Class A
common stock for each share of Electronics Boutique common stock
that they own. In addition, GameStop stockholders will receive
one share of Holdco Class A common stock for each share of
GameStop Class A common stock that they own and one share
of Holdco Class B common stock for each share of GameStop
Class B common stock that they own. The merger is subject
to regulatory and stockholder approval, which management
believes may occur in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of
operations for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 are
not indicative of the results to be expected for the
52 weeks ending January 28, 2006.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation |
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment, (FAS 123(R)). This Statement requires
companies to expense the estimated fair value of stock options
and similar equity instruments issued to employees. Currently,
companies are required to calculate the estimated fair value of
these share-based payments and can elect to either include the
estimated cost in earnings or disclose the pro forma effect in
the footnotes to their financial statements. We have chosen to
disclose the pro forma effect. The fair value concepts were not
changed significantly in FAS 123(R). However, in adopting this
Standard, companies must choose among alternative valuation
models and amortization assumptions. The valuation model and
amortization assumption we have used continue to be available,
but we have not yet completed our assessment of the
alternatives. FAS 123(R) will be effective for the Company
beginning with the first quarter of 2006. Transition options
allow companies to choose whether to adopt prospectively,
restate results to the beginning of the year, or restate prior
periods with the amounts on
7

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
a basis consistent with pro forma amounts that have been
included in their footnotes. We have not yet concluded which
transition option we will select.
The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and
net earnings per common share as if the Company had applied the
fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123(R) to stock-based
employee compensation for the options granted under its plans:

In June 2004, the Company amended and restated its $75,000
senior secured revolving credit facility, which now expires in
June 2009. The revolving credit facility is governed by an
eligible inventory borrowing base agreement, defined as 55% of
non-defective inventory, net of certain reserves. Loans incurred
under the credit facility will be maintained from time to time,
at the Companys option, as: (1) Prime Rate loans
which bear interest at the prime rate (defined in the credit
facility as the higher of (a) the administrative
agents announced prime rate, or (b) 1/2 of 1% in
excess of the federal funds effective rate, each as in effect
from time to time); or (2) LIBO Rate loans bearing interest
at the LIBO Rate for the applicable interest period, in each
case plus an applicable interest margin. In addition, the
Company is required to pay a commitment fee, currently 0.375%,
for any unused amounts of the revolving credit facility. Any
borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by
the assets of the Company. If availability under the revolving
credit facility is less than $20,000, the revolving credit
facility restricts the Companys ability to pay dividends.
There have been no borrowings under the revolving credit
facility.
In October 2004, the Company issued a promissory note in favor
of Barnes & Noble Inc. (Barnes & Noble)
in the principal amount of $74,020 in connection with the
repurchase of Class B common shares held by
Barnes & Noble. A payment of $37,500 was made on
January 15, 2005, as required by the promissory note, which
also requires payments of $12,173 due on October 15, 2005,
October 15, 2006 and October 15, 2007. The note is
unsecured and bears interest at 5.5% per annum, payable when
principal installments are due.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions |
The Company operates departments within bookstores operated by
Barnes & Noble until November 2004, an affiliate of the
Company. The Company pays a license fee to Barnes & Noble on
the gross sales of such departments. Management deems the
license fee to be reasonable and based upon terms equivalent to
those that would prevail in an arms length transaction.
These charges amounted to $208 and $200 for the 13 weeks
ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively.
The Company participates in Barnes & Nobles
workers compensation, property and general liability
insurance programs. The costs incurred by Barnes & Noble
under these programs are allocated to the Company based upon the
Companys total payroll expense, property and equipment,
and insurance claim history. Management deems the allocation
methodology to be reasonable. These charges amounted to $834 and
$670 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 and
May 1, 2004, respectively.
In October 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a
repurchase of the Companys Class B common stock held
by Barnes & Noble. The Company repurchased 6,107 shares
of its Class B common stock at a price equal to $18.26 per
share for aggregate consideration before expenses of $111,520.
The repurchase price per share was determined by using a
discount of 3.5% on the last reported trade of the
Companys Class A common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange prior to the time of the transaction. The Company paid
$37,500 in cash and issued a promissory note in the principal
amount of $74,020, which is payable in installments over the
next three years and bears interest at 5.5% per annum, payable
when principal installments are due. The Company made a
scheduled principal payment of $37,500 on the promissory note in
January 2005. Interest expense on the promissory note for the
13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 totaled $508.
In connection with the Electronics Boutique merger, the Company
has agreed to pay the legal fees and expenses of one if its
directors, Leonard Riggio, including legal fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of
Mr. Riggios notification and report form under the
Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The
Company estimates that Mr. Riggios fees and expenses
in connection with the merger will be approximately $150.
On May 29, 2003, former Store Manager Carlos Moreira
(Moreira) filed a class action lawsuit against the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Gamestop, Inc.
(collectively GameStop) in Los Angeles
10
GAMESTOP CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
County Superior Court alleging that GameStops salaried
retail managers were misclassified as exempt and should have
been paid overtime. Moreira was seeking to represent a class of
current and former salaried retail managers who were employed by
GameStop in California at any time between May 29, 1999 and
September 30, 2004. Moreira alleged claims for violation of
California Labor Code sections 203, 226 and 1194 and
California Business and Professions Code section 17200.
Moreira was seeking recovery of unpaid overtime, interest,
penalties, attorneys fees and costs. During court-ordered
mediation in March 2004, the parties reached a settlement
which defined the class of current and former salaried retail
managers and will result in a cost to the Company of
approximately $2,750. A provision for this proposed settlement
was recorded in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004. On
January 28, 2005, the court granted approval of the
settlement and all settlement payments have been made.
On October 20, 2004, former Store Manager John P. Kurtz
(Kurtz) filed a collective action lawsuit against
the Company in U.S. District Court, Western District of
Louisiana, Lafayette/Opelousas Division, alleging that
GameStops salaried retail managers were misclassified as
exempt and should have been paid overtime, in violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act. Kurtz is seeking to represent all
current and former salaried retail managers who were employed by
GameStop for the three years before October 20, 2004. Kurtz
is seeking recovery of unpaid overtime, interest, penalties,
attorneys fees and costs. On January 12, 2005,
GameStop filed an answer to the complaint and a motion to
transfer the action to the Northern District of Texas,
Fort Worth Division. GameStop is awaiting the courts
decision on the motion. Management intends to vigorously defend
this action and does not believe there is sufficient information
to estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting
from the lawsuit.
On February 14, 2005, and as amended, Steve Strickland, as
personal representative of the Estate of Arnold Strickland,
deceased, Henry Mealer, as personal representative of the Estate
of Ace Mealer, deceased, and Willie Crump, as personal
representative of the Estate of James Crump, deceased, filed a
wrongful death lawsuit against GameStop, Sony, Take-Two
Interactive, Rock Star Games and Wal-Mart (collectively, the
Defendants) and Devin Moore in the Circuit Court of
Fayette County, Alabama, alleging that Defendants actions
in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supplying Defendant
Moore with violent video games were negligent and contributed to
Defendant Moore killing Arnold Strickland, Ace Mealer and James
Crump. Plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $600,000
under the Alabama wrongful death statute. GameStop and the other
defendants intend to vigorously defend this action and have
filed an initial motion to dismiss this case and an additional
motion seeking to stay the civil case pending the criminal trial
of Mr. Moore. Mr. Moores criminal trial is
scheduled to start in July 2005.
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is, from
time to time, subject to various other legal proceedings.
Management does not believe that any such other legal
proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on the Companys operations or
financial condition.

ITEM 2. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the information contained in our consolidated financial
statements, including the notes thereto. Statements regarding
future economic performance, managements plans and
objectives, and any statements concerning assumptions related to
the foregoing contained in Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
constitute forward-looking statements. Certain factors, which
may cause actual results to vary materially from these
forward-looking statements, accompany such statements or appear
in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the
fiscal year ended January 29, 2005 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2005 (the
Form 10-K/A), including the factors disclosed
under Business Risk Factors.
General
We are one of the largest retailers of video game products and
PC entertainment software in the United States. We sell new and
used video game hardware, video game software and accessories,
as well as PC entertainment software and related accessories and
other merchandise. As of April 30, 2005, we operated 1,908
stores, in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Ireland,
Northern Ireland, Puerto Rico and Guam, primarily under the name
GameStop. We also operate an electronic commerce web site under
the name gamestop.com and publish Game Informer, the
largest circulation multi-platform video game magazine in the
United States.
Growth in the video game industry is driven by the introduction
of new technology. In October 2000, Sony introduced
PlayStation 2. Microsoft introduced Xbox and Nintendo
introduced GameCube in November 2001. Nintendo introduced the
Dual Screen in November 2004. Sony introduced PlayStation
Portable (Sony PSP) in March 2005. As is typical
following the introduction of new video game platforms, sales of
new video game hardware generally increase as a percentage of
sales in the first full year following introduction. As video
game platforms mature, the sales mix attributable to
complementary video game software and accessories, which
generate higher gross margins, generally increases in the second
and third years. The net effect is generally a decline in gross
margins in the first full year following new platform releases
and an increase in gross margins in the second and third years.
Unit sales of maturing video game platforms are typically also
driven by manufacturer-funded retail price decreases, further
driving sales of related software and accessories. We expect
that the installed base of these hardware platforms and sales of
related software and accessories will increase in the future.
On April 18, 2005, the Company and Electronics Boutique
announced that they entered into a merger agreement whereby
separate subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company named
GSC Holdings Corp. (Holdco) will be merged with and
into the Company and Electronics Boutique, respectively, and the
Company and Electronics Boutique will become wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Holdco. In the proposed mergers, Electronics
Boutique common stockholders will have the right to receive
$38.15 in cash and .78795 of a share of Holdco Class A
common stock for each share of Electronics Boutique common stock
that they own. In addition, GameStop stockholders will receive
one share of Holdco Class A common stock for each share of
GameStop Class A common stock that they own and one share
of Holdco Class B common stock for each share of GameStop
Class B common stock that they own. The merger is subject
to regulatory and stockholder approval, which management
believes may occur in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The
discussions included in this Form 10-Q do not contemplate
any impact of the proposed merger or possible future results,
liquidity or cash flows of the combined company.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Preparation of these statements requires management to make
judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a
significant impact on amounts reported in these financial
statements. A summary of significant accounting policies and a
description of accounting policies that are considered critical
may be found in our Form 10-K/A in Note 1 of
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
12
Cash Consideration Received from Vendors. The Company and
its vendors participate in cooperative advertising programs and
other vendor marketing programs in which the vendors provide the
Company with cash consideration in exchange for marketing and
advertising the vendors products. Our accounting for
cooperative advertising arrangements and other vendor marketing
programs, in accordance with FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue 02-16 or EITF 02-16, results in a portion of
the consideration received from our vendors reducing the product
costs in inventory. The consideration serving as a reduction in
inventory is recognized in cost of sales as inventory is sold.
The amount of vendor allowances recorded as a reduction of
inventory is determined by calculating the ratio of vendor
allowances in excess of specific, incremental and identifiable
advertising and promotional costs to merchandise purchases. The
Company then applies this ratio to the value of inventory in
determining the amount of vendor reimbursements recorded as a
reduction to inventory reflected on the balance sheet. Because
of the variability in the timing of our advertising and
marketing programs throughout the year, the Company uses
significant estimates in determining the amount of vendor
allowances recorded as a reduction of inventory in interim
periods, including estimates of full year vendor allowances,
specific, incremental and identifiable advertising and
promotional costs, merchandise purchases and value of inventory.
Estimates of full year vendor allowances and the value of
inventory are dependent upon estimates of full year merchandise
purchases.

The Company includes purchasing, receiving and distribution
costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather
than cost of goods sold, in the statement of operations. For the
13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004
these purchasing, receiving and distribution costs amounted to
$3.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The
Company includes processing fees associated with purchases made
by check and credit cards in cost of sales, rather than selling,
general and administrative expenses, in the statement of
operations. For the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 and
May 1, 2004 these processing fees amounted to
$3.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. As a
result of these classifications, our gross margins are not
comparable to those retailers that include purchasing, receiving
and distribution costs in cost of sales and include processing
fees associated with purchases made by check and credit cards in
selling, general and administrative expenses. The net effect of
the Companys classifications is that its cost of sales as
a percentage of sales is lower than, and its selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales are higher
than, they would have been had the Companys treatment
conformed with those retailers that include purchasing,
receiving and distribution costs in cost of sales and include
processing fees associated with purchases made by check and
credit cards in
13
selling, general and administrative expenses, by 0.1% and 0.2%
for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 and May 1,
2004, respectively.
|
|
|
13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 compared with the
13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 |
Sales increased by $103.0 million, or 27.7%, from
$371.7 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004
to $474.7 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30,
2005. The increase in sales was attributable to approximately
$53 million in additional sales from the 338 stores opened
in fiscal 2004 (the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2005),
approximately $43 million in sales resulting from an
increase of 12.0% in comparable store sales and approximately
$7 million in sales resulting from 95 new stores opened in
the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. Stores are included
in our comparable store sales base beginning in the thirteenth
month of operation. The comparable store sales increase for the
first quarter of fiscal 2005 was due to strong video game
hardware sales fueled by the successful launch of the Sony PSP.
Cost of sales increased by $81.1 million, or 30.5%, from
$266.2 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004
to $347.3 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30,
2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased from
71.6% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to 73.2% in
the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. This increase was
primarily the result of the shift in sales mix from higher
margin video game software and used video game products to lower
margin video game hardware caused by the sales of the Sony PSP
hardware units. The Company expects cost of sales as a
percentage of sales to remain higher than in the previous fiscal
year through the anticipated launch of Microsofts Xbox 360
hardware platform which management anticipates later in fiscal
2005.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$13.8 million, or 16.0%, from $86.5 million in the
13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to $100.3 million in
the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. These increases
were primarily attributable to the increase in the number of
stores in operation, and the related increases in store,
distribution and corporate office operating expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased from 23.3% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004
to 21.1% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. The
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales was primarily due to expense control
measures instituted in the 13 weeks ended April 30,
2005 and due to the provision for the proposed California labor
litigation settlement in the 13 weeks ended May 1,
2004, which was 0.7% of sales.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased from
$8.3 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004
to $10.3 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30,
2005. This increase of $2.0 million was due to capital
expenditures for new stores and management information systems.
Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to increase
from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 (the 52 weeks ending
January 28, 2006) due to continued capital expenditures for
new stores and management information systems and due to the
commencement of full operations in the Companys new
corporate headquarters and distribution facility.
Interest income resulting from the investment of excess cash
balances increased from $0.3 million in the 13 weeks
ended May 1, 2004 to $0.7 million in the 13 weeks
ended April 30, 2005 due to an increase in the average
yield on the investments. Interest expense increased from
$0.2 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to
$0.7 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005
primarily due to the interest incurred on the note payable to
Barnes & Noble in connection with the repurchase of the
Companys Class B common stock. Interest expense on
this note payable is expected to be approximately
$2.0 million in fiscal 2005.
Tax expense for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 and the
13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 was based upon
managements estimate of the Companys annualized
effective tax rate, which is expected to decrease from fiscal
2004 to fiscal 2005 due to corporate restructuring. Income tax
expense increased from $4.2 million for the 13 weeks
ended May 1, 2004 to $6.4 million in the 13 weeks
ended April 30, 2005.
The factors described above led to an increase in operating
earnings of $6.1 million, or 56.5%, from $10.8 million
in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to
$16.9 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30,
2005, and an increase in net earnings of $3.6 million, or
53.7%, from $6.7 million in the 13 weeks ended
May 1, 2004 to $10.3 million in the 13 weeks
ended April 30, 2005.
14
Seasonality
The Companys business, like that of many retailers, is
seasonal, with the major portion of the sales and operating
profit realized during the quarter which includes the holiday
selling season.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 and
May 1, 2004, cash used in operations was $5.8 million
and $17.5 million, respectively. In the 13 weeks ended
April 30, 2005, cash used in operations was primarily due
to an increase in merchandise inventories of $38.9 million,
which was offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities of $6.8 million, net income of
$10.3 million, depreciation and amortization of
$10.3 million and a decrease in prepaid taxes of
$3.0 million. In the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004,
cash used in operations was primarily due to a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $71.1 million,
which was offset by a decrease in merchandise inventories of
$28.8 million, net income of $6.7 million,
depreciation and amortization of $8.1 million and a
decrease in prepaid taxes of $3.5 million. The decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the 13 weeks
ended May 1, 2004 was typical as payments are made for
purchases of merchandise inventories which took place in the
fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. The increase in
merchandise inventories during the 13 weeks ended
April 30, 2005 was due to the replenishment of hardware
levels that were depleted in the fourth quarter of the previous
year and the launch of the PSP. The increase in accounts payable
resulting from the build-up of inventories offset the decrease
in accounts payable that typically occurs in the first quarter
of a fiscal year.
Cash used in investing activities was $23.4 million and
$24.7 million during the 13 weeks ended April 30,
2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively. During the
13 weeks ended April 30, 2005, approximately
$7.3 million of our capital expenditures was used to equip
and improve our new corporate headquarters and distribution
center facility in Grapevine, Texas, and the remaining
$15.5 million was used to open new stores, remodel existing
stores and invest in information systems. All corporate
headquarters functions have been relocated to our new corporate
headquarters and we expect that the distribution functions will
be relocated during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. During the
13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, our capital expenditures
included approximately $12.0 million to acquire our new
corporate headquarters and distribution center facility. The
remaining $12.6 million in capital expenditures was used to
open new stores, remodel existing stores and invest in
information systems.
Our future capital requirements will depend on the number of new
stores we open and the timing of those openings within a given
fiscal year. We opened 103 stores in the 13 weeks ended
May 1, 2004 compared to 95 stores in the 13 weeks
ended April 30, 2005 and expect to open between 370 and 400
stores in fiscal 2005. Projected capital expenditures for fiscal
2005 are approximately $81.0 million, to be used primarily
to fund new store openings, improve and equip our new
headquarters and distribution center and invest in distribution
and information systems.
In June 2004, the Company amended and restated its
$75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility,
which now expires in June 2009. The revolving credit facility is
governed by an eligible inventory borrowing base agreement,
defined as 55% of non-defective inventory, net of certain
reserves. Loans incurred under the credit facility will be
maintained from time to time, at the Companys option, as:
(1) Prime Rate loans which bear interest at the prime rate
(defined in the credit facility as the higher of (a) the
administrative agents announced prime rate, or
(b) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds effective
rate, each as in effect from time to time); or (2) LIBO
Rate loans bearing interest at the LIBO Rate for the applicable
interest period, in each case plus an applicable interest
margin. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment
fee, currently 0.375%, for any unused amounts of the revolving
credit facility. Any borrowings under the revolving credit
facility are secured by the assets of the Company. If
availability under the revolving credit facility is less than
$20.0 million, the revolving credit facility restricts our
ability to pay dividends. There have been no borrowings under
the revolving credit facility.
In October 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase
of the Companys Class B common stock held by
Barnes & Noble. The Company repurchased 6,107,000
shares of its Class B common stock at a price equal to
$18.26 per share for aggregate consideration of
$111.5 million. The Company paid $37.5 million
15
in cash and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of
$74.0 million. A scheduled payment of $37.5 million
was made on January 15, 2005. The note also requires three
payments of $12.2 million each due on October 15,
2005, October 15, 2006 and October 15, 2007. The note
is unsecured and bears interest at 5.5% per annum, payable when
principal installments are due. The repurchased shares were
immediately retired.
Based on our current operating plans, we believe that cash
generated from our operating activities and available cash
balances will be sufficient to fund our operations, required
payments on our note payable, store expansion and remodeling
activities and corporate capital expenditure programs for at
least the next 12 months.

ITEM 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
Interest Rate Exposure
We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest
rate exposure. We limit our interest rate risks by investing our
excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments
with an original maturity of three months or less. We do not
expect any material losses from our invested cash balances, and
we believe that our interest rate exposure is modest.
Foreign Exchange Exposure
We do not believe we have material foreign currency exposure
because only an immaterial portion of our business is transacted
in other than United States currency. We historically have not
entered into hedging transactions with respect to our foreign
currency, but may do so in the future.

ITEM 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company
conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that
the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are
effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or
uncover failures within the Company to disclose material
information otherwise required to be set forth in the
Companys periodic reports.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the Companys most recently completed fiscal quarter
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
On May 29, 2003, former Store Manager Carlos Moreira
(Moreira) filed a class action lawsuit against the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Gamestop, Inc.
(collectively GameStop) in Los Angeles County
Superior Court alleging that GameStops salaried retail
managers were misclassified as exempt and should have been paid
overtime. Moreira was seeking to represent a class of current
and former salaried retail managers who were employed by
GameStop in California at any time between May 29, 1999 and
September 30, 2004. Moreira alleged claims for violation of
California Labor Code sections 203, 226 and 1194 and California
Business and Professions Code section 17200. Moreira was seeking
recovery of unpaid overtime, interest, penalties,
attorneys fees and costs. During court-ordered mediation
in March 2004, the parties reached a settlement which defined
the class of current and former salaried retail managers and
will result in a cost to the Company of approximately
$2.75 million. A provision for this proposed settlement was
recorded in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004. On
January 28, 2005, the court granted approval of the
settlement and all settlement payments have been made.
On October 20, 2004, former Store Manager John P. Kurtz
(Kurtz) filed a collective action lawsuit against
the Company in U.S. District Court, Western District of
Louisiana, Lafayette/Opelousas Division, alleging that
GameStops salaried retail managers were misclassified as
exempt and should have been paid overtime, in violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act. Kurtz is seeking to represent all
current and former salaried retail managers who were employed by
GameStop for the three years before October 20, 2004. Kurtz
is seeking recovery of unpaid overtime, interest, penalties,
attorneys fees and costs. On January 12, 2005,
GameStop filed an answer to the complaint and a motion to
transfer the action to the Northern District of Texas,
Fort Worth Division. GameStop is awaiting the courts
decision on the motion. Management intends to vigorously defend
this action and does not believe there is sufficient information
to estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting
from the lawsuit.
On February 14, 2005, and as amended, Steve Strickland, as
personal representative of the Estate of Arnold Strickland,
deceased, Henry Mealer, as personal representative of the Estate
of Ace Mealer, deceased, and Willie Crump, as personal
representative of the Estate of James Crump, deceased, filed a
wrongful death lawsuit against GameStop, Sony, Take-Two
Interactive, Rock Star Games and Wal-Mart (collectively, the
Defendants) and Devin Moore in the Circuit Court of
Fayette County, Alabama, alleging that Defendants actions
in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supplying Defendant
Moore with violent video games were negligent and contributed to
Defendant Moore killing Arnold Strickland, Ace Mealer and James
Crump. Plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of
$600 million under the Alabama wrongful death statute.
GameStop and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend
this action and have filed an initial motion to dismiss this
case and an additional motion seeking to stay the civil case
pending the criminal trial of Mr. Moore.
Mr. Moores criminal trial is scheduled to start in
July 2005.
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is, from
time to time, subject to various other legal proceedings.
Management does not believe that any such other legal
proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on the Companys operations or
financial condition.
