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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

      Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current period presentation.

      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

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 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 Class A and Class B 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:

      The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004 were estimated at $8.47 and $7.94, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

      The Company has two classes of common stock and computes earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 Earnings per Share. The holders of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock have identical rights to dividends or to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Accordingly, the earnings per common share

for the two classes of common stock are the same. A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net earnings per common share follows:

      The following table contains information on options to purchase shares of Class A common stock which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive:

      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 Company’s 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 agent’s 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 Company’s 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.

      Comprehensive income is net earnings, plus certain other items that are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity and consists of the following:

      The tax provisions for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004 are based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.

      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 arm’s 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 & Noble’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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. Riggio’s notification and report form under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Company estimates that Mr. Riggio’s 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

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

County Superior Court alleging that GameStop’s 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 GameStop’s 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 court’s 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. Moore’s 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 Company’s operations or financial condition.

10.     Supplemental Cash Flow Information

      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, management’s plans and objectives, and any statements concerning assumptions related to the foregoing contained in Management’s 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 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.”

      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 rather than as an offset to our marketing and advertising costs. 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.

      Although management considers its advertising and marketing programs to be effective, we do not believe that we would be able to incur the same level of advertising expenditures if the vendors decreased or discontinued their allowances. In addition, management believes that the Company’s revenues would be adversely affected if its vendors decreased or discontinued their allowances, but management is unable to quantify the impact.

Results of Operations

      The following table sets forth certain statement of operations items as a percentage of sales for the periods indicated:

      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 $2.2 million and $2.1 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 Company’s classifications is that its cost of sales as a percentage of sales is higher than, and its selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales are lower than, they would have been had the Company’s 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 selling, general and administrative expenses, by 0.2% for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. The effect of these classifications on the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 was not material.

      The following table sets forth sales (in millions) by significant product category for the periods indicated:

      The following table sets forth gross profit (in millions) and gross profit percentages by significant product category for the periods indicated:

      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.

      The strength of the Sony PSP launch led to an increase in new video game hardware sales of $36.9 million, or 99.7%, from the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. New hardware sales increased as a percentage of sales from 10.0% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to 15.6% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. The success of the Sony PSP launch also contributed to an increase in new video game software sales of $38.6 million, or 26.6%, from the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. Used video game products continued to show strong growth, with an increase in sales of $19.1 million, or 16.4%, from the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. Sales of

other product categories, including PC entertainment and other software and accessories, magazines and character — related merchandise, grew 11.4%, or $8.4 million, from the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005, due to the sale of accessories to accompany the Sony PSP. The growth in hardware sales impacted the sales of new video game software, used video game products and other products as a percentage of sales.

      Cost of sales increased by $81.6 million, or 30.6%, from $267.1 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to $348.7 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 as a result of the changes in gross profit discussed below.

      Gross profit increased by $21.4 million, or 20.6%, from $104.6 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to $126.0 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 28.1% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to 26.5% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. This increase was primarily the result of the shift in sales mix from higher margin used video game products and other products to lower margin video game hardware caused by the sales of the Sony PSP hardware units. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new hardware, new software and other products remained comparable between periods. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on used video game products increased from 45.7% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to 46.3% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005 due to increased efforts to monitor margin rates.

      The Company expects gross profit as a percentage of sales to remain lower than in the previous fiscal year through the anticipated launch of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 hardware platform which management anticipates later in fiscal 2005.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $13.4 million, or 15.7%, from $85.6 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to $99.0 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 23.0% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 to 20.8% 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 $10.2 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2005. This increase of $1.9 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 management’s estimate of the Company’s 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.

Seasonality

      The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 agent’s 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 Company’s 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

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.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-looking Statements

      This report on Form 10-Q and other oral and written statements made by the Company to the public contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause our actual results, performance, achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:

      In addition, our proposed merger with Electronics Boutique is contingent upon certain conditions, including regulatory clearance and the approvals of GameStop’s and Electronics Boutique’s stockholders.

      In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “pro forma,” “should,” “seeks,” “will” or similar expressions. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

      Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this Form 10-Q. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances contained in this Form 10-Q may not occur, causing actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements.

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.

      (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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s periodic reports.

      (b) Changes in Internal Controls

      There was no change in the Company’s 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 Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

      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 GameStop’s 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 GameStop’s 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 court’s 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. Moore’s 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 Company’s operations or financial condition.
