These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended January 31, 2009 (“fiscal 2008”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
 
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of operations for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2009”).
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current interim period presentation.
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 9, 2009, the date of the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.  	New Accounting Pronouncements	
 
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165,  Subsequent Events  (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is applied prospectively. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements effective August 1, 2009.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 28-1,  Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 requires additional disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods and amends APB Opinion No. 28,  Interim Financial Reporting , to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods for publicly traded companies. FSP 107-1 was effective for the Company for the period ended August 1, 2009.
 
Effective on February 1, 2009, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133  (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires certain disclosures about the gains and losses associated with derivative instruments and hedging

activities, the location of such gains and losses in the financial statements, and a description of related trading activities and their risks.
 
The Company uses forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps (together, the “Foreign Currency Contracts”) to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These Foreign Currency Contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the re-measurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments and cash equivalent investments. The Company manages counterparty risk according to the guidelines and controls established under comprehensive risk management and investment policies. We continuously monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize a number of different counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under derivative or investment agreements.
 
The fair values of derivative instruments not receiving hedge accounting treatment in the condensed consolidated balance sheets presented herein were as follows:

 	 	August 1, 2009	 	 	August 2, 2008	 	 	January 31, 2009	 	
 	 	(In thousands)

Other noncurrent assets	 	 	4	 	 	 	120	 	 	 	—	 	
Liabilities	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Foreign Currency Contracts	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Accrued liabilities	 	 	(23,147	)	 	 	(10,897	)	 	 	(10,164	)	
Other long-term liabilities	 	 	(1,068	)	 	 	(268	)	 	 	(1,602	)	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Total derivatives	 	$	(14,603	)	 	$	(8,214	)	 	$	338	 	

As of August 1, 2009, the Company had a series of Forward Currency Contracts outstanding, with a gross notional value of $516,096 and a net notional value of $257,821. For the 13 and 26 week periods ended August 1, 2009, the Company recognized losses of $12,255 and $12,841, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments. As of August 2, 2008, the Company had a series of Forward Currency Contracts outstanding, with a gross notional value of $445,416 and a net notional value of $238,281. For the 13 and 26 week periods ended August 2, 2008, the Company recognized losses of $743 and $8,110, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments.
 
The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments approximate their fair value, except for differences with respect to the senior notes. As of August 1, 2009, the carrying value of the senior notes was $495,807 and the fair value was $506,724.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007),  Business Combinations  (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) amends the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) was effective for the Company on February 1, 2009, and the Company will apply SFAS 141(R) prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to the effective date. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and the impact that its adoption will have on our consolidated

financial statements in future periods will depend on the nature and size of business combinations completed subsequent to the date of adoption.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51  (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) in subsidiaries. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between controlling and noncontrolling interests and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 was effective for the Company on February 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements  (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 became effective for our financial assets and liabilities on February 3, 2008 and our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on February 1, 2009 and did not result in a significant change in the method of calculating fair value of assets or liabilities or have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The primary impact from adoption of SFAS 157 was additional disclosures.
 
SFAS 157 applies to our Foreign Currency Contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition.
 
SFAS 157 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
 
We value our Foreign Currency Contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.

3.  	Business Combinations and Goodwill	
 
On November 17, 2008, GameStop France SAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of Micromania for $580,407, net of cash acquired. Micromania is a leading retailer of video and computer games in France with 348 locations, 328 of which were operating on the date of the acquisition. The purpose of the acquisition was to expand the Company’s presence in Europe.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Micromania from the date of acquisition and are reported in the European segment. The purchase price has been allocated based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price was allocated as follows:

 	 	November 17, 2008	 	
 	 	(In thousands)	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
Current assets	 	$	187,661	 	
Property, plant & equipment	 	 	34,164	 	
Goodwill	 	 	412,325	 	
Intangible assets:	 	 	 	 	
Tradename	 	 	131,560	 	
Leasehold rights and interests	 	 	103,955	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
Total intangible assets	 	 	235,515	 	
Other long-term assets	 	 	7,786	 	
Current liabilities	 	 	(220,237	)	
Long-term liabilities	 	 	(76,807	)	
 	 	 	 	 	
Total purchase price	 	$	580,407	 	

The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis based on the information that was available to the Company at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared, and revisions to the preliminary purchase price allocation may result as additional information becomes available.
 
In determining the purchase price allocation, management considered, among other factors, the Company’s intention to use the acquired assets. The total weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets, excluding goodwill and the Micromania tradename, is approximately ten years. The intangible assets are being

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
amortized based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized, with no expected residual value. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.
 
On April 5, 2008, the Company purchased all the outstanding stock of Free Record Shop Norway AS, a Norwegian private limited liability company (“FRS”), for $21,006, net of cash acquired. An initial payment of $16,995 was made in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, with the remaining balance paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. FRS operated 49 record stores in Norway. The Company has converted the FRS stores into video game stores with an inventory assortment similar to its other stores in Norway. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, with the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired, in the amount of $17,981, recorded as goodwill. The Company has included the results of operations of FRS, which were not material, in its financial statements beginning on the closing date of the acquisition on April 5, 2008.
 
In 2003, the Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in GameStop Group Limited, which operates stores in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the minority interest owners of the remaining 49% have the ability to require the Company to purchase their remaining shares in incremental percentages at a price to be determined based partially on the Company’s price to earnings ratio and GameStop Group Limited’s earnings. Shares representing approximately 16% were purchased in June 2008 for $27,383 and in July 2009 an additional 16% was purchased for $4,667, bringing the Company’s total interest in GameStop Group Limited to approximately 84%. The Company already consolidates the results of GameStop Group Limited; therefore, any additional amounts acquired will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
During July 2008, the Company purchased certain assets and Web site operations from The Gamesman Limited, a video game and entertainment software retailer, including eight stores in New Zealand for $1,910. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, with the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired, in the amount of $605, recorded as goodwill.
 
The pro forma effect assuming the acquisitions of Micromania, FRS and The Gamesman Limited at the beginning of fiscal 2008 is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.  	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation	
 
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected option life, expected volatility and the expected employee forfeiture rate. The Company uses historical data to estimate the option life and the employee forfeiture rate, and uses historical volatility when estimating the stock price volatility. There were no options to purchase common stock granted during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008. The options to purchase common stock granted during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008 were 1,419 and 1,362, respectively, with a weighted-average fair value estimated at $9.45 and $15.45 per share, respectively, using the following assumptions:

 	 	26 Weeks Ended	 	
 	 	August 1,
	 	 	August 2,
	 	
 	 	2009	 	 	2008	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Volatility	 	 	47.9	%	 	 	38.2	%	
Risk-free interest rate	 	 	1.5	%	 	 	2.4	%	
Expected life (years)	 	 	3.5	 	 	 	3.5	 	
Expected dividend yield	 	 	0	%	 	 	0	%	
 
In the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, the Company included compensation expense relating to stock option grants of $3,030 and $3,998, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, the Company included compensation expense relating to stock option grants of $5,442 and $8,818, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of August 1, 2009, the unrecognized compensation

expense related to the unvested portion of our stock options was $19,392 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008 were $529 and $10,584, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008 were $2,727 and $83,745, respectively.
 
There were no restricted stock shares granted during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008. During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, the Company granted 571 shares and 534 shares, respectively, of restricted stock. The shares had a fair market value of $26.02 and $49.95 per share, respectively, and vest in equal annual installments over three years. During the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, the Company included compensation expense relating to the restricted share grants in the amount of $4,884 and $4,304, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, the Company included compensation expense relating to the restricted share grants in the amount of $9,808 and $11,251, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of August 1, 2009, there was $28,487 of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

6.  	Debt	
 
In October 2005, the Company entered into a five-year, $400,000 Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”), including a $50,000 letter of credit sub-limit, secured by the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries. The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. In April 2007, the Company amended the Revolver to extend the maturity date from October 11, 2010 to April 25, 2012, reduce the LIBO interest rate margin, reduce and fix the rate of the unused commitment fee and modify or delete certain other covenants. The extension of the Revolver to 2012 reduces our exposure to the current tightening in the credit markets.
 
The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of (x) approximately 70% of eligible inventory and (y) 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 85% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow by their face value. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally prohibited, except that if availability under the Revolver is, or will be after any such payment, equal to or greater than 25% of the borrowing base, the Company may repurchase its capital stock and pay cash dividends. In addition, in the event that credit extensions under the Revolver at any time exceed 80% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.5:1.0.
 
The per annum interest rate on the Revolver is variable and, at the Company’s option, is calculated by applying a margin of (1) 0.0% to 0.25% above the higher of the prime rate of the administrative agent or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (2) 1.00% to 1.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of August 1, 2009, the applicable margin was 0.0% for prime rate loans and 1.00% for LIBO rate loans. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. During the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009, the Company borrowed and repaid $100,000 under the Revolver. As of August 1, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8,271.
 
In September 2007, the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20,000 Uncommitted Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit”) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit will be made available to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short-term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of August 1, 2009, there were $287 of cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $5,682.
 
In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of $650,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated September 28, 2005 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).
 
The Notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum, mature on October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a discount at the time of issue of $8,528. The discount is being amortized using the effective interest method. As of August 1, 2009, the unamortized original issue discount was $3,428. The Issuers pay interest on the Notes semi-annually, in arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, and at maturity.
 
The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings, including, among other things, limitations on (1) the incurrence of additional debt, (2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) sale and leaseback transactions and (5) asset sales. Events of default provided for in the Indenture include, among other things, failure to pay interest or principal on the Notes, other breaches of covenants in the Indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. As of August 1, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Revolver and the Indenture.

Under certain conditions, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions prior to maturity redeem up to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at redemption prices at or in excess of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. The circumstances which would limit the percentage of the Notes which may be redeemed or which would require the Company to pay a premium in excess of 100% of the principal amount are defined in the Indenture. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuers are required to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. The Issuers may acquire Notes by means other than redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisitions do not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.
 
As of August 2, 2008 and August 1, 2009, the only long-term debt outstanding was related to the Notes.
 
Between May 2006 and August 2007, the Company repurchased $70,000 of the Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by its Board of Directors. All of the authorized amounts were repurchased and the Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
 
On February 7, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of an additional $130,000 of the Notes. The timing and amount of the repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on their evaluation of market conditions and other factors. In addition, the repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of August 2, 2008, the Company had repurchased $30,000 of the Notes pursuant to this authorization. The associated loss on retirement of debt was $2,331, which consisted of the premium paid to retire the Notes and the write-off of the deferred financing fees and the original issue discount on the Notes. The Company did not repurchase any other Notes during fiscal 2008. In the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, the Company repurchased $50,765 of the Notes pursuant to this authorization. The associated loss on retirement of debt was $2,862, which consisted of the premium paid to retire the Notes and the write-off of the deferred financing fees and the original issue discount on the Notes. All Notes repurchased in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for years before and including the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2005 and January 28, 2006 during fiscal 2008. The Company did not record any material adjustments to its condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these audits.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Our effective tax rates for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008 include $2,423 and $436 of net tax expense, respectively, related to amounts recorded for changes in our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties. Our effective tax rates for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008 include $6,400 and $493, respectively, of net tax expense related to amounts recorded for changes in our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties. The components of the net change in uncertain tax positions were individually insignificant.
 
It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions could significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months as a result of settlements of ongoing audits and statutes of limitations expiring. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.
 
The tax provisions for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008 are based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.

9.  	Certain Relationships and Related Transactions	
 
The Company operates departments within eight bookstores operated by Barnes & Noble, Inc. (“Barnes & Noble”), a related party through a common stockholder who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Barnes & Noble and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company pays a license fee to Barnes & Noble on the gross sales of such departments. The Company deems the license fee to be reasonable and based upon terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arm’s length transaction. During the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these charges amounted to $210 and $290, respectively. During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these charges amounted to $460 and $584, respectively.
 
In May 2005, the Company entered into an arrangement with Barnes & Noble under which www.gamestop.com  became the exclusive specialty video game retailer listed on  www.bn.com , Barnes & Noble’s e-commerce site. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays a fee to Barnes & Noble for sales of video game or PC entertainment products sold through  www.bn.com . The fee to Barnes & Noble was $38 and $72 for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, respectively, and $120 and $143 for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, respectively.
 
Until June 2005, GameStop participated in Barnes & Noble’s workers’ compensation, property and general liability insurance programs. The costs incurred by Barnes & Noble under these programs were allocated to GameStop based upon total payroll expense, property and equipment, and insurance claim history of GameStop. Although GameStop secured its own insurance coverage, costs will likely continue to be incurred by Barnes & Noble on insurance claims which were incurred under its programs prior to June 2005 and any such costs applicable to insurance claims against GameStop will be allocated to the Company. During the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these allocated charges amounted to $43 and $31, respectively. During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these allocated charges amounted to $105 and $104, respectively.

10.  	Commitments and Contingencies	
 
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, 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. Moore was found guilty of capital murder in a criminal trial and was sentenced to death in August 2005.

Plaintiffs’ counsel named an expert, a psychologist who testified at the criminal trial on behalf of the criminal defendant, who plaintiffs indicated would testify that violent video games were a substantial factor in causing the murders. This same testimony from this same expert was excluded in the criminal trial from the same judge hearing this case. The testimony of plaintiffs’ psychologist expert was heard by the Court on October 30, 2008, and the motion to exclude that testimony was argued on December 12, 2008.
 
On July 30, 2009, the trial court entered its Order granting summary judgment for all defendants, dismissing the case with prejudice on the grounds that plaintiffs’ expert’s testimony did not satisfy the Frye standard for expert admissibility. Subsequent to the entry of the Order, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.
 
The Company does not believe there is sufficient information to estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting from the lawsuit if the plaintiffs’ appeal is successful.
 
In the ordinary course of the Company’s 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 financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
In 2003, the Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in GameStop Group Limited, which operates stores in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the minority interest owners of the remaining 49% have the ability to require the Company to purchase their remaining shares in incremental percentages at a price to be determined based partially on the Company’s price to earnings ratio and GameStop Group Limited’s earnings. Shares representing approximately 16% were purchased in June 2008 for $27,383 and in July 2009 an additional 16% was purchased for $4,667, bringing the Company’s total interest in GameStop Group Limited to approximately 84%. The Company already consolidates the results of GameStop Group Limited; therefore, any additional amounts acquired will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 2.  	Management’s 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, 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 GameStop’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”), including the factors disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
 
General
 
GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies, “GameStop,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is the world’s largest retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software. 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 August 1, 2009, we operated 6,333 stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, primarily under the names GameStop and EB Games. We also operate an electronic commerce Web site under the name  www.gamestop.com  and publish  Game Informer , the industry’s largest multi-platform video game magazine in the United States based on circulation.
 
Our fiscal year is composed of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The fiscal years ending January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2009”) and ended January 31, 2009 (“fiscal 2008”) consist of 52 weeks.
 
On November 17, 2008, GameStop France SAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of SFMI Micromania SAS (“Micromania”) for $580.4 million, net of cash acquired in the transaction (the “Micromania acquisition”). Micromania is a leading retailer of video and computer games in France with 348 locations, 328 of which were operating on the date of acquisition. The Company’s operating results for the 13 and 26 week periods ended August 1, 2009 include Micromania’s results, whereas the operating results of the comparable periods of fiscal 2008 exclude Micromania’s results.
 
Growth in the video game industry is driven by the introduction of new technology. In 2005 in the North American markets, Sony introduced the PlayStation Portable (the “PSP”) in March and Microsoft introduced the Xbox 360 in November. In November 2006, Nintendo introduced the Wii hardware platform worldwide and Sony introduced the PlayStation 3 hardware platform in the North American markets. Sony introduced the PlayStation 3 platform in the Australian and European markets in March 2007. Typically, following the introduction of new video game platforms, sales of new video game hardware increase as a percentage of total 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 subsequent 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 years subsequent to the first full year following the launch period. Unit sales of maturing video game platforms are typically also driven by manufacturer-funded retail price reductions, further driving sales of related software and accessories. We expect that the installed base of the hardware platforms listed above and sales of related software and accessories will increase in the future, subject to the timing of the release of new video game titles and the impact of the overall worldwide economy.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. 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. For a summary of significant accounting policies and the means by which we develop estimates thereon, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company continually reviews the financial performance of its stores and seeks to increase profitability by relocating or closing selected stores. During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, the Company closed 98 stores, 21 of which were in the second quarter. The store closings included many locations in which we operated a GameStop store and a former EB Games store in very close proximity and the determination was made to close one of the locations upon the expiration of the store lease.
 
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 August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these purchasing, receiving and distribution costs amounted to $14.9 million and $13.8 million, respectively. For the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these purchasing, receiving and distribution costs amounted to $29.6 million and $25.9 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 August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these processing fees amounted to $11.1 million and $13.6 million, respectively. For the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, these processing fees amounted to $24.6 million and $26.5 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 reclassifications had no material net effect on the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008.

13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared with the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008
 
Sales decreased by $65.9 million, or 3.7%, from $1,804.4 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $1,738.5 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to the comparable store sales decrease of 14.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the decreases in sales related to changes in foreign exchange rates of $63.3 million when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of non-comparable store sales from the 668 stores opened since May 3, 2008 combined with the additional sales from the Micromania acquisition for an approximate total of $229.4 million. Stores are included in our comparable store sales base beginning in the thirteenth month of operation and exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in comparable store sales was due to weak consumer traffic worldwide, a slow-down in hardware unit sell-through and a lack of new game titles in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
 
New video game hardware sales decreased $78.4 million, or 20.6%, from $379.7 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $301.3 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in consumer traffic as a result of the continued macro-economic weakness, partially offset by increases related to new and acquired stores. New video game software sales decreased $75.2 million, or 10.7%, from $705.0 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $629.8 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in consumer traffic and a lack of strong new video game titles released in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, partially offset by increases related to new and acquired stores. Used video game product sales increased $89.3 million, or 18.9%, from $471.5 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $560.8 million in the 13 weeks ended

Table of Contents
August 1, 2009. Used video game product sales increased as a lack of new video game releases and increased promotional activity drove customers to the lower-priced used product category. Sales of other product categories declined 0.6%, or $1.6 million, from the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009.
 
As a percentage of sales, used video game products and other sales increased and new video game hardware and new video game software decreased in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008. This was primarily due to a lack of new video game title releases and a slow-down in hardware unit sell-through, as well as increased promotional activity related to the used video game products category.
 
Cost of sales decreased by $77.2 million, or 5.8%, from $1,320.3 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $1,243.1 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 as a result of the decrease in sales and the changes in gross profit discussed below.
 
Gross profit increased by $11.3 million, or 2.3%, from $484.1 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $495.4 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 26.8% in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 28.5% in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009. The gross profit percentage increase was caused primarily by the increase in higher margin used video game product sales as a percentage of total sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the decrease in sales of new video game hardware and new video game software as a percentage of total sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game hardware increased from 6.0% in the prior year quarter to 7.2% of sales this quarter, primarily due to a change in the mix of hardware units sold and an increase in sales of product replacement plans during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game software increased from 20.6% in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 21.2% in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to an increase in vendor allowances received in excess of advertising expenses and the mix of software and margin in the various countries in which we operate. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on used video game products decreased from 49.7% in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 45.8% in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 due to increased promotional activities during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $37.1 million, or 10.7%, from $347.7 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $384.8 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009. This increase was 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 increased from 19.3% in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 22.1% in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to deleveraging of fixed costs as a result of the decrease in comparable store sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are $7.9 million and $8.3 million in stock-based compensation expense for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, respectively.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.4 million from $36.3 million for the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $39.7 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Micromania, capital expenditures associated with the opening of 110 new stores during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and investments in management information systems.
 
Interest income resulting from the investment of excess cash balances decreased from $1.6 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $0.5 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 due primarily to lower invested cash balances and lower interest rates. Interest expense increased slightly from $10.8 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $11.7 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 primarily due to the short-term borrowings on the revolver offset by the retirement of $50.8 million of the Company’s senior notes since August 2, 2008.
 
Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 was based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $33.7 million for the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 compared to $21.0 million for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009.
 
The factors described above led to a decrease in operating earnings of $29.1 million, or 29.1%, from $100.1 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $71.0 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009, and a

decrease in net earnings of $18.5 million, or 32.3%, from $57.2 million in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $38.7 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009.
 
26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared with the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008
 
Sales increased by $101.3 million, or 2.8%, from $3,618.0 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $3,719.3 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009. The increase in sales was attributable to the addition of non-comparable store sales from the 878 stores opened since February 3, 2008, combined with the additional sales from the Micromania acquisition for an approximate total of $485.5 million, offset by a decrease in comparable store sales of 7.8% and decreases related to changes in foreign exchange rates of $147.5 million for the 26-week period ended August 1, 2009 when compared to the 26-week period ended August 2, 2008. Stores are included in our comparable store sales base beginning in the thirteenth month of operation and exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in comparable store sales was due to weaker new title releases in fiscal 2009 when compared to fiscal 2008, which included several strong video game titles, weak consumer traffic worldwide and a slow-down in hardware unit sell-through.
 
New video game hardware sales decreased $21.5 million, or 3.0%, from $718.7 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $697.2 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in consumer traffic as a result of the continued macro-economic weakness, partially offset by the Nintendo DSi launch in April 2009 and the additional sales at the new stores added since last year through growth and acquisitions. New video game software sales decreased $97.5 million, or 6.5%, from $1,497.8 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $1,400.3 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in consumer traffic and a lack of new video game titles released in fiscal 2009, compared to fiscal 2008 which included several strong titles, offset by sales from new and acquired stores since last year. Used video game product sales increased $222.1 million, or 25.0%, from $887.2 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $1,109.3 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009. Used video game product sales increased as a lack of new video game title releases and increased promotional activity drove customers to the lower-priced used product category. Sales of other product categories declined slightly by 0.3%, or $1.8 million, from the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009.
 
As a percentage of sales, used video game products increased and new video game hardware, new video game software and other product sales decreased in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. This was primarily due to a decrease in sales of new video game software due to a lack of new software titles released in fiscal 2009 when compared to fiscal 2008, a slow-down in hardware unit sell-through, as well as an increase in sales of used video game products due to increased promotional activity and the value pricing of our used products.
 
Cost of sales increased by $21.2 million, or 0.8%, from $2,660.5 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $2,681.7 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily as a result of the increase in sales and the changes in gross profit discussed below.
 
Gross profit increased by $80.0 million, or 8.4%, from $957.5 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $1,037.5 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 26.5% in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 27.9% in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009. The gross profit percentage increase was caused primarily by the increase in higher margin used video game product sales as a percentage of total sales in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 when compared to the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game hardware increased from 6.0% of sales for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 6.6% of sales for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 due to a change in the mix of hardware units sold and an increase in sales of product replacement plans during fiscal 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game software increased from 20.2% in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 21.4% in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to an increase in vendor allowances received in excess of advertising expenses and the mix of software sales and margin in the various countries in which we operate. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on used video game products decreased from 49.4% in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 46.9% in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to increased promotional activities during fiscal 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on the other product sales category decreased slightly in fiscal 2009 when compared to fiscal 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $84.2 million, or 12.4%, from $676.4 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $760.6 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of stores in operation and the related increases in store, distribution and corporate office operating expenses during fiscal 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 18.7% in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to 20.4% in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to deleveraging of fixed costs as a result of the decrease in comparable store sales in fiscal 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses include $15.3 million and $20.1 million in stock-based compensation expense for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, respectively.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.4 million from $71.1 million for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $77.5 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Micromania, capital expenditures associated with the opening of 224 new stores during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and investments in management information systems.
 
Interest income resulting from the investment of excess cash balances decreased from $6.6 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $1.0 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, due primarily to lower invested cash balances and lower interest rates during fiscal 2009. Interest expense decreased from $24.3 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $23.9 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to the retirement of $50.8 million of the Company’s senior notes since August 2, 2008 offset by short term borrowings on the Revolver. Debt extinguishment expense of $2.3 million and $2.9 million was recognized in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 1, 2009, respectively, as a result of premiums paid related to debt retirement and the write-off of deferred financing fees and unamortized original issue discount.
 
Income tax expense for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 was based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $70.7 million for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 compared to $64.5 million for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009.
 
The factors described above led to a decrease in operating earnings of $10.6 million, or 5.0%, from $210.0 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $199.4 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, and a decrease in net earnings of $10.2 million, or 8.5%, from $119.3 million in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to $109.1 million in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009.

United States
 
Segment results for the United States include retail operations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico, the electronic commerce Web site  www.gamestop.com  and  Game Informer  magazine. As of August 1, 2009, the United States segment included 4,377 GameStop stores, compared to 4,180 on August 2, 2008. Sales for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 decreased 10.2% and 1.4%, respectively, compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 as a result of decreased sales at existing stores offset by the opening of 353 new stores since May 3, 2008 and 439 stores since February 2, 2008, including 69 and 124 stores in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, respectively. Sales at existing stores decreased partially due to a decrease in consumer traffic as a result of the continued macro-economic weakness and a lack of strong new video game titles released in fiscal 2009, offset by an increase in used video game product sales as a result of the new title weakness and increased promotional activities. Segment operating income for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 decreased by 22.6%, compared to the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 due to the impact of lower revenues for the quarter. Segment operating income for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 increased slightly by 0.6%, compared to the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 due to the higher sales of used video game products as a percentage of total sales and the resulting positive impact on gross margin.
 
Canada
 
Sales in the Canadian segment in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 decreased 21.0% and 22.9%, respectively, compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to decreased sales at existing stores and the unfavorable exchange rates recognized in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the prior year periods, which had the effect of decreasing sales by $10.9 million and $33.9 million, respectively, offset by the additional sales at the 27 and 52 stores opened since May 3, 2008 and February 2, 2008, respectively. As of August 1, 2009, the Canadian segment had 339 stores compared to 316 stores at August 2, 2008. The decrease in sales at existing stores was primarily due to weak consumer traffic, a slow-down in hardware unit sell-through and a lack of new video game title releases in fiscal 2009. Segment operating income for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 decreased by 40.4% and 28.7%, respectively, compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 driven by the decreased sales discussed above and the unfavorable impact of changes in exchange rates, which had the effect of decreasing operating earnings by $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 when compared to the prior year.
 
Australia
 
Segment results for Australia include retail operations in Australia and New Zealand. As of August 1, 2009, the Australian segment included 370 stores, compared to 316 at August 2, 2008. Sales for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 decreased 17.0% and 14.7%, respectively, compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. The decrease in sales was primarily due to the unfavorable exchange rates recognized in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the prior year periods, which had the effect of decreasing sales by $25.0 million and $58.0 million, respectively, as well as lower sales in existing stores. The decrease in sales was partially offset by the additional sales at the 80 and 92 stores opened since May 3, 2008 and February 2, 2008, respectively. Segment operating income in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 decreased by 35.8% and 33.0%, respectively, when compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. The decrease in segment operating income was due to the decrease in sales at existing stores and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the increase in the number of stores in operation, as well as unfavorable changes in exchange rates for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 when compared to August 2, 2008 which had the effect of decreasing operating earnings by $1.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
 
Europe
 
Segment results for Europe include retail operations in 13 European countries. As of August 1, 2009, the European segment operated 1,247 stores compared to 745 stores as of August 2, 2008. For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, European sales increased 52.5% and 53.8%, respectively, compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. The increase in sales was primarily due to the increase in sales at existing stores and the
31

Table of Contents
additional sales at the 556 and 643 stores opened since May 3, 2008 and February 2, 2008, respectively, including the 328 stores from the Micromania acquisition. This increase in sales was offset by the unfavorable exchange rates recognized in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the prior year periods, which had the effect of decreasing sales by $29.3 million and $65.1 million, respectively, as well as a decrease in sales at existing stores. The decrease in sales at existing stores was primarily driven by weak consumer traffic due to continued macro-economic weakness, a slow-down in hardware unit sell-through and a lack of new video game title releases in fiscal 2009.
 
The segment operating loss in Europe was $5.0 million in the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the operating loss in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 of $1.7 million. The segment operating income in Europe for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 was $0.5 million compared to the operating income in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 of $1.8 million. The increase in the operating loss for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and the decrease in operating earnings in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 compared to the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 were primarily due to the weaker sales in Europe as discussed above and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the increase in the number of stores in operation.
 
In addition, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, changes in exchange rates when compared to the prior year had the effect of increasing operating earnings by $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
 
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 fiscal quarter which includes the holiday selling season.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows
 
During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, cash used in operations was $260.8 million, compared to cash used in operations of $210.2 million during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. The increase of cash used in operations of $50.6 million from the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 to the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in cash used for working capital purposes of $96.2 million primarily driven by the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities net of the decrease in inventory. This increase was a result of decreased purchases in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 when compared to fiscal 2008, primarily due to a decrease in hardware sales as a result of the continued macro-economic weakness and the lack of new titles available this year. Inventory turnover also decreased in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008, primarily due to the growth in the international segments which have lower inventory turns compared to the United States segment due to their lower overall store count and multiple warehouse facilities. Offsetting the increase in cash used in working capital was an increase in cash provided by net earnings, including the non-cash adjustments to net earnings, in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 when compared to the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 of $12.2 million and an increase in the operating activities adjustment related to the excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards of $33.4 million.
 
Cash used in investing activities was $81.5 million and $131.8 million during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008, respectively. During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, approximately $76.9 million of cash was used primarily to open new stores in the U.S. and internationally and to invest in information systems. In addition, during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, the Company used $4.7 million to purchase an increased ownership interest in GameStop Group Limited. For the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008, $81.5 million of cash was used primarily to open new stores in the U.S. and internationally and to invest in information systems. In addition, the Company used $50.3 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire Free Record Shop Norway AS, a Norwegian private limited liability company (“FRS”), The Gamesman Limited and an increased ownership interest in GameStop Group Limited.
 
Cash used in financing activities was $58.4 million for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and cash provided by financing activities for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 was $24.5 million. The cash used in financing activities for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 was primarily due to the repurchase of $50.8 million of principal

value of the Company’s senior notes. In addition, the Company borrowed $100 million against its revolver during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and subsequently repaid the borrowings before August 1, 2009, with a maximum of $75 million outstanding at any one time. The cash provided by financing activities for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 was primarily due to the issuance of shares relating to stock option exercises of $26.7 million and $33.0 million for the realization of tax benefits relating to the stock option exercises and vested restricted stock, respectively. These inflows were offset by the repurchase of $30.0 million of principal value of the Company’s senior notes.
 
Sources of Liquidity
 
We utilize cash generated from operations and have funds available to us under our revolving credit facility to cover seasonal fluctuations in cash flows and to support our various growth initiatives. Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value, and consist primarily of time deposits with highly rated commercial banks and money market investment funds holding direct U.S. Treasury obligations.
 
In October 2005, the Company entered into a five-year, $400 million Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”), including a $50 million letter of credit sub-limit, secured by the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries. The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. In April 2007, the Company amended the Revolver to extend the maturity date from October 11, 2010 to April 25, 2012, reduce the LIBO interest rate margin, reduce and fix the rate of the unused commitment fee and modify or delete certain other covenants. The extension of the Revolver to 2012 reduces our exposure to the current tightening in the credit markets.
 
The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of (x) approximately 70% of eligible inventory and (y) 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 85% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow by their face value. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options, and repurchase shares is generally prohibited, except that if availability under the Revolver is or will be after any such payment equal to or greater than 25% of the borrowing base, the Company may repurchase its capital stock and pay cash dividends. In addition, in the event that credit extensions under the Revolver at any time exceed 80% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.5:1.0.
 
The per annum interest rate on the Revolver is variable and, at the Company’s option, is calculated by applying a margin of (1) 0.0% to 0.25% above the higher of the prime rate of the administrative agent or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (2) 1.00% to 1.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of August 1, 2009, the applicable margin was 0.0% for prime rate loans and 1.00% for LIBO rate loans. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. During the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2009, the Company borrowed and repaid $100 million under the Revolver. As of August 1, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8.3 million.
 
In September 2007, the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary, $20 million Uncommitted Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit”) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit will be made available to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of August 1, 2009, there were $0.3 million of cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $5.7 million.
 
In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of U.S. $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an Indenture dated September 28, 2005 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).
33

Table of Contents
The Notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum, mature on October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a discount at the time of issue of $8.5 million. The discount is being amortized using the effective interest method. As of August 1, 2009, the unamortized original issue discount was $3.4 million. The Issuers pay interest on the Notes semi-annually, in arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, and at maturity.
 
The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings, including, among other things, limitations on (1) the incurrence of additional debt, (2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) sale and leaseback transactions and (5) asset sales. Events of default provided for in the Indenture include, among other things, failure to pay interest or principal on the Notes, other breaches of covenants in the Indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. As of August 1, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Revolver and the Indenture.
 
Under certain conditions, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions prior to maturity redeem up to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at redemption prices at or in excess of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. The circumstances which would limit the percentage of the Notes which may be redeemed or which would require the Company to pay a premium in excess of 100% of the principal amount are defined in the Indenture. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuers are required to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. The Issuers may acquire Notes by means other than redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisitions do not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.
 
Uses of Capital
 
Our future capital requirements will depend on the number of new stores opened and the timing of those openings within a given fiscal year. The Company opened 224 stores in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009 and expects to open approximately 400 stores in total during fiscal 2009. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2009 are projected to be approximately $170 million to $180 million, to be used primarily to fund new store openings and invest in distribution and information systems in support of operations.
 
Between May 2006 and August 2007, the Company repurchased $70 million of the Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by its Board of Directors. All of the authorized amounts were repurchased and the Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
 
On February 7, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of an additional $130 million of the Notes. The timing and amount of the repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on their evaluation of market conditions and other factors. In addition, the repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of August 2, 2008, the Company had repurchased $30.0 million of the Notes pursuant to this authorization. The associated loss on retirement of debt was $2.3 million, which consisted of the premium paid to retire the Notes and the write-off of the deferred financing fees and the original issue discount on the Notes. The Company did not repurchase any other Notes during fiscal 2008. In the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2009, the Company repurchased $50.8 million of the Notes pursuant to this authorization. The associated loss on retirement of debt was $2.9 million, which consisted of the premium paid to retire the Notes and the write-off of the deferred financing fees and the original issue discount on the Notes. All Notes repurchased in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
 
We used cash to expand the Company through acquisitions during fiscal 2008. On April 5, 2008, the Company purchased all the outstanding stock of FRS for $21.0 million, net of cash acquired. FRS operated 49 record stores in Norway and also operated office and warehouse facilities in Oslo, Norway. The Company converted these stores into video game stores with an inventory assortment similar to its other stores in Norway.
 
In 2003, the Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in GameStop Group Limited which operates stores in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the minority interest owners of the remaining 49% have the ability to require the Company to purchase their remaining shares in incremental

percentages at a price to be determined based partially on the Company’s price to earnings ratio and GameStop Group Limited’s earnings. On May 21, 2008, the minority interest owners exercised their right to sell one-third of their shares, or approximately 16% of GameStop Group Limited, to the Company under the terms of the original purchase agreement for $27.4 million. The transaction was completed in June 2008 and recorded in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,  Business Acquisitions.  In July 2009 an additional 16% was purchased for $4.7 million, bringing the Company’s total interest in GameStop Group Limited to approximately 84%.
 
On November 17, 2008, GameStop France SAS, a wholly owned subsidiary of GameStop, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of SFMI Micromania from L Capital, LV Capital, Europ@web and other shareholders of Micromania for approximately $580.4 million, net of cash acquired. Micromania is a leading retailer of video and computer games in France with 348 stores as of August 1, 2009. The Company funded the transaction with cash on hand, a draw on the Revolver totaling $275.0 million, and a $150.0 million junior term loan facility (the “Term Loans”). As of January 31, 2009, the Revolver and the Term Loans were repaid in full.
 
Based on our current operating plans and despite the continued weakness of the overall economy, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund our operations, required payments on the Notes, store expansion and remodeling activities and corporate capital expenditure programs for at least the next 12 months.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165,  Subsequent Events  (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is applied prospectively. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements effective August 1, 2009.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 28-1,  Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 requires additional disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods and amends APB Opinion No. 28,  Interim Financial Reporting , to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods for publicly traded companies. FSP 107-1 was effective for the Company for the period ended August 1, 2009.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and their effect on an entity’s financial statements in each interim and annual period. SFAS 161 was effective for the Company on February 1, 2009 and has been applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007),  Business Combinations  (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) amends the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) was effective for the Company on February 1, 2009, and the Company will apply SFAS 141(R) prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to the effective date. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and the impact that its adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements in future periods will depend on the nature and size of business combinations completed subsequent to the date of adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51  (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) in subsidiaries. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between controlling and noncontrolling interests and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 was effective for the Company on February 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements  (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 became effective for our financial assets and liabilities on February 3, 2008 and on our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on February 1, 2009 and did not result in a significant change in the method of calculating fair value of assets or liabilities or have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The primary impact from adoption was additional disclosure.
 
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, as amended (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:

 	• 	our reliance on suppliers and vendors for sufficient quantities of their products and for new product releases;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally and specifically, economic conditions affecting the electronic game industry, the retail industry and the banking and financial services market;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	the competitive environment in the electronic game industry;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	our ability to open and operate new stores;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	alternate sources of distribution of video game software;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	the impact and costs of litigation and regulatory compliance;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	unanticipated litigation results;	
 	 	 	
 	• 	the risks involved with our international operations; and	
 	 	 	
 	• 	other factors described in the Form 10-K, including those set forth under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”	
 
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 based on current expectations and assumptions 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
36

Table of Contents
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.

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 a maturity of one year or less. In addition, the Notes outstanding carry a fixed interest rate. We do not expect any material losses from our invested cash balances, and we believe that our interest rate exposure is modest.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  (“SFAS 133”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138,  Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities , Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,  Fair Value Measurements  (“SFAS 157”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133  (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, while SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 161 requires certain disclosures about the gains and losses associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities, the location of such gains and losses in the financial statements, and a description of related trading activities and their risks. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction.
 
The Company uses forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps (together, the “Foreign Currency Contracts”) to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Foreign Currency Contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the re-measurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities. For the 13 and 26 week periods ended August 1, 2009, the Company recognized a $12.3 million and $12.8 million loss, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments. The aggregate fair value of the Foreign Currency Contracts as of August 1, 2009 was a liability of $14.6 million as measured by observable inputs obtained from market news reporting services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. A hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign exchange rates underlying the Foreign Currency Contracts from the market rate as of August 1, 2009 would result in a (loss) or gain in value of the forwards, options and swaps of ($27.0 million) or $27.0 million, respectively.
 
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments and cash equivalent investments. The Company manages counterparty risk according to the guidelines and controls established under comprehensive risk management and investment policies. We continuously monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize a number of different counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under derivative or investment agreements.

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’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
37

Table of Contents
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the reasonable assurance level. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. 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 Control Over Financial Reporting
 
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. Micromania operates on different information technology systems than the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the internal control processes at Micromania and changes to certain processes, information technology systems, and other components of internal controls resulting from this evaluation may occur.
 
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  	Legal Proceedings	
 
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, 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. Moore was found guilty of capital murder in a criminal trial and was sentenced to death in August 2005.
 
Plaintiffs’ counsel named an expert, a psychologist who testified at the criminal trial on behalf of the criminal defendant, who plaintiffs indicated would testify that violent video games were a substantial factor in causing the murders. This same testimony from this same expert was excluded in the criminal trial from the same judge hearing this case. The testimony of plaintiffs’ psychologist expert was heard by the Court on October 30, 2008, and the motion to exclude that testimony was argued on December 12, 2008.
 
On July 30, 2009, the trial court entered its Order granting summary judgment for all defendants, dismissing the case with prejudice on the grounds that plaintiffs’ expert’s testimony did not satisfy the Frye standard for expert admissibility. Subsequent to the entry of the Order, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.
 
The Company does not believe there is sufficient information to estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting from the lawsuit if the plaintiffs’ appeal is successful.
 
In the ordinary course of the Company’s 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 financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
There have been no other material developments in previously reported legal proceedings during the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A.  	Risk Factors	
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K have not changed materially, however, they are not the only risks

we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.
