GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, unless otherwise indicated, except per share data)

(Unaudited)


1.	Basis of Presentation

GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies, “GameStop,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the world’s largest retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 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 of U.S. dollars 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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2009”). 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 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 29, 2011 (“fiscal 2010”).

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


2.	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 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. The options to purchase common stock granted during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009 were 1,177 and 1,419, respectively, with a weighted-average fair value estimated at $7.88 and $9.45, respectively, using the following assumptions:


	13 Weeks Ended
	May 1,			May 2,
	2010			2009

Volatility		51.6	%		47.9	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.8	%		1.5	%
Expected life (years)		3.5			3.5
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%

In the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, the Company included compensation expense relating to stock option grants of $2,965 and $2,412, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of May 1, 2010, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of our stock options was $18,475, 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 May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009 were $2,063 and $2,198, respectively.

The restricted stock granted during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009 were 683 shares and 571 shares, respectively. The shares had a fair market value of $20.32 and $26.02 per share, respectively, and vest in equal annual installments over three years. During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, the Company included compensation expense relating to the restricted share grants in the amount of $4,256 and $4,925, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of May 1, 2010, there was $27,288 of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.


3.	Computation of Net Income Per Common Share

A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:


	13 Weeks Ended
	May 1,		May 2,
	2010		2009
	(In thousands, except per share data)

Net income attributable to GameStop	$	75,172	$	70,433

Weighted average common shares outstanding		153,566		164,474
Dilutive effect of options and restricted shares on common stock		2,918		3,498

Common shares and dilutive potential common shares		156,484		167,972

Net income per common share:
Basic	$	0.49	$	0.43

Diluted	$	0.48	$	0.42

The following table contains information on restricted shares and 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:


	Anti-		Range of
	Dilutive		Exercise		Expiration
	Shares		Prices		Dates
	(In thousands, except per share data)

13 Weeks Ended May 1, 2010		4,739	$	20.32 - 49.95		2010 - 2020
13 Weeks Ended May 2, 2009		3,618	$	26.02 - 49.95		2010 - 2018


4.	Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value accounting guidance applies to our forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps (together, the “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.

Fair value accounting guidance 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

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.

The following table provides the fair value of our assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and recorded on our consolidated balance sheets, in thousands:


	May 1, 2010		May 2, 2009		January 30, 2010
	Level 2		Level 2		Level 2

Assets
Foreign Currency Contracts	$	27,291	$	6,734	$	20,062
Company-owned life insurance		2,808		2,174		2,584

Total assets	$	30,099	$	8,908	$	22,646

Liabilities
Foreign Currency Contracts	$	6,588	$	9,996	$	8,991
Nonqualified deferred compensation		826		920		762

Total liabilities	$	7,414	$	10,916	$	9,753

The Company uses 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.

As of May 1, 2010, the Company had a series of Forward Currency Contracts outstanding, with a gross notional value of $465,892 and a net notional value of $306,542. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, the Company recognized an $11,914 gain in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments. As of May 2, 2009, the Company had a series of Forward Currency Contracts outstanding, with a gross notional value of $468,113 and a net notional value of $202,823. For the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009, the Company recognized a $586 loss in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments.

The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments approximates their fair value, except for differences with respect to the senior notes. The fair value of the Company’s senior notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is estimated based on recent quotes from brokers. As of May 1, 2010, the senior notes payable had a carrying value of $447,567 and a fair value of $463,500. As of May 2, 2009, the senior notes payable had a carrying value of $495,571 and a fair value of $504,227.


5.	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.

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 May 1, 2010, 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. As of May 1, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8,213.

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 May 1, 2010, there were cash overdrafts of $4,058 outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $15,803.

In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of $300,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”) and $650,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes” and, together with the Senior Floating Rate Notes, 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 net proceeds of the offering were used to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration paid to the stockholders of Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp. (“EB”) in connection with the merger of the Company and EB (the “EB merger”). In November 2006, Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new Trustee for the Notes.

The Senior 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 May 1, 2010, the unamortized original issue discount was $2,433. The Issuers pay interest on the Senior 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 May 1, 2010, 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 Senior 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 Senior 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.

Between May 2006 and September 2009, the Company repurchased and redeemed the $300,000 of Senior Floating Rate Notes and $200,000 of Senior Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. All of the authorized amounts were repurchased or redeemed and the repurchased Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The associated loss on the retirement of debt was $2,862 for the

13-week period ended May 2, 2009, 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.

As of May 2, 2009 and May 1, 2010, the only long-term debt outstanding was the Senior Notes. The maturity on the $450,000 Senior Notes, gross of the unamortized original issue discount of $2,433, occurs in the fiscal year ending January 2013.


6.	Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for years before and including the fiscal year ended January 28, 2006. The IRS completed an examination of EB’s U.S. income tax return for the short year ended October 8, 2005 during fiscal 2009. EB is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to and including the short year ended October 8, 2005.

We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. There were no net material adjustments to our recorded liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions could significantly increase or decrease during the next 12 months. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

The tax provisions for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009 are based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.


7.	Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company operates departments within seven 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 May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, these charges amounted to $226 and $250, 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. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, the fee to Barnes & Noble totaled $62 and $82, 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 May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, these allocated charges amounted to $10 and $62, respectively.

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Circuit Court of Fayette, Alabama, 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 who plaintiffs indicated would testify that violent video games were a substantial factor in causing the murders. 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 plaintiffs have filed their appellate brief in support of their appeal and the defendants have filed their consolidated appellate brief in opposition to the 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, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. Management does not believe that any such other legal proceedings or settlements, 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 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 and in July 2009 an additional 16% was purchased, 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 30, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2010 (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 other merchandise. As of May 1, 2010, we operated 6,486 stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, primarily under the names GameStop and EB Games. We also operate electronic commerce Web sites under the names www.gamestop.com, www.ebgames.com.au, www.gamestop.ca, www.gamestop.it, and www.micromania.fr and publish Game Informer Magazine, 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 29, 2011 (“fiscal 2010”) and ended January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2009”) consist of 52 weeks.

Growth in the video game industry is driven by the introduction of new technology. The current generation of hardware consoles (the Sony PlayStation 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii) were introduced between 2005 and 2007. The Sony PlayStation Portable (the “PSP”) was introduced in 2005. The Nintendo DSi was introduced in early 2009. 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.

We expect that future growth in the video game industry will also be driven by the sale of video games delivered in digital form and the expansion of other forms of gaming. We currently sell various types of products that relate to the digital category, including Xbox live, Playstation and Nintendo network point cards, as well as prepaid digital and online timecards and digitally downloaded software. We continue to make significant investments in e-commerce, online game development, digital kiosks and in-store and Web site functionality to enable our customers to access digital content and eliminate friction in the digital sales and delivery process. We plan to continue to invest in these types of processes and channels to grow our digital sales base and enhance our market leadership position in the video game industry and in the digital aggregation and distribution category. We also intend to continue to invest in customer loyalty programs designed to attract and retain customers.

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 Form 10-K.

The Company includes purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than cost of sales, in the statement of operations. 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. 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 these classifications as a percentage of sales has not historically been material.

13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 compared with the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009

Sales increased by $101.9 million, or 5.1%, from $1,980.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $2,082.7 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The increase in sales was attributable to the addition of non-comparable store sales from the 462 stores opened since January 31, 2009 and changes related to foreign exchange rates which had the effect of increasing sales by $66.0 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009, offset by a decrease in comparable store sales of 1.6%. 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 primarily due to the decrease in new video game hardware sales related to product shortages and the decrease in hardware price points in fiscal 2010 when compared to fiscal 2009.

New video game hardware sales decreased $47.6 million, or 12.0%, from $395.9 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $348.3 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, primarily due to product shortages and price cuts on new video game consoles discussed above, partially offset by the additional sales at the new stores added since fiscal 2009. New video game software sales increased $102.6 million, or 13.3%, from $770.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $873.1 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, primarily due to the strong sales of new release video game titles in fiscal 2010, as well as the increase in sales from new stores. Used video game product sales grew due to an increase in the availability of hardware and software associated with the current generation hardware platforms, the strong growth of used video game product sales internationally, as well as the addition of sales at the new stores added since fiscal 2009. Used video game product sales increased $22.3 million, or 4.1%, from $548.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $570.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. Other video game product sales increased by $24.6 million, or 9.3%, from $265.9 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $290.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The increase in other product sales was primarily due to the increase in hardware accessory sales and digital on-line game card sales.

As a percentage of sales, new video game software and other product sales increased and new video game hardware and used video game product sales decreased in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009. The change in the mix of sales was primarily due to the strong sales of new release video game software and the decrease in sales of new video game hardware due to product shortages and price cuts on new video game consoles discussed above.

Cost of sales increased by $73.3 million, or 5.1%, from $1,438.6 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $1,511.9 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 as a result of an increase in sales and the changes in gross profit discussed below.

Gross profit increased by $28.7 million, or 5.3%, from $542.1 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $570.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was unchanged at 27.4% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 1, 2010. During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game software decreased, but was offset by the decrease in lower margin new video game hardware sales and the increase in sales of higher margin used video game products when compared to

the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game software decreased from 21.5% to 20.0% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009. The decrease in new video game software gross profit percentage was due to a shift in sales from higher margin older platform titles to newer platform titles as the older platforms become replaced, as well as increased promotional activities related to new video game software sales during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game hardware and used video game products did not change. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on other product sales increased from 33.4% to 34.7% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 due to a shift in sales to higher margin hardware accessories.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $28.0 million, or 7.5%, from $375.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $403.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. 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, as well as continued expenses in our digital and loyalty initiatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 19.0% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to 19.4% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. This increase was primarily due to deleveraging of fixed costs as a result of the decrease in comparable store sales and the expenses supporting our digital and loyalty initiatives. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is $7.2 million and $7.3 million in stock-based compensation expense for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.7 million from $37.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $42.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. This increase was primarily due to capital expenditures associated with the opening of 74 new stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and investments in management information systems.

Interest income from the investment of excess cash balances increased from $0.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $0.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, due primarily to higher invested cash balances. Interest expense decreased from $12.2 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $10.4 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, primarily due to the retirement of $100.0 million of the Company’s senior notes since January 31, 2009. Debt extinguishment expense of $2.9 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 was recognized 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 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 and the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 was based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $40.0 million, or 34.8% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 compared to $43.5 million, or 38.2% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009. The decrease in the income tax rate was due primarily to the variability in the accounting for the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

The factors described above led to a decrease in operating earnings of $4.1 million, or 3.2%, from $128.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 to $124.4 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, and an increase in consolidated net income of $4.4 million, or 6.3%, from $70.4 million in the quarter ended May 2, 2009 to $74.8 million in the quarter ended May 1, 2010.

In 2009, the FASB issued new guidance related to the reporting of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. The $0.3 million increase in consolidated net income attributable to GameStop shareholders represents the portion of the minority interest shareholders’ net loss of the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010.

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 May 1, 2010, the United States segment included 4,443 GameStop stores compared to 4,339 stores on May 2, 2009. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased $56.4 million, or 3.8%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of increased sales at existing stores and the opening of 254 new stores since January 31, 2009, including 47 stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Sales at existing stores increased due to the strong sales of new release video game titles during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 offset by the decrease in new hardware sales as a result of product shortages and lower price points compared to the first quarter of 2009. Segment operating income increased by 5.3% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009, driven primarily by the higher sales of new, used and other video game products and the related higher gross profit.

Canada

Sales in the Canadian segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased $7.1 million, or 7.3%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the favorable exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009, which had the effect of increasing sales by $18.3 million. Excluding this effect, sales decreased at existing stores primarily due to weak consumer traffic and lower hardware sales as a result of product shortages and lower price points when compared to fiscal 2009. As of May 1, 2010, the Canadian segment had 339 stores compared to 331 stores at May 2, 2009. Segment operating income decreased by 22.9% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009, driven primarily by the lower sales at existing stores and the deleveraging of the fixed components of selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease in operating earnings was offset by the favorable impact of changes in exchange rates,

which had the effect of increasing operating earnings by $0.7 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 when compared to the applicable period in the prior fiscal year.

Australia

Segment results for Australia include retail operations in Australia and New Zealand. As of May 1, 2010, the Australian segment included 391 stores compared to 360 stores at May 2, 2009. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 17.0% to $107.2 million compared to first quarter fiscal 2009 sales of $91.6 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to the favorable exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009, which had the effect of increasing sales by $27.0 million, as well as the additional sales at the 45 stores added since January 31, 2009. Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates, sales in the Australian segment decreased 12.4%. The decrease in sales was due to lower sales at existing stores, primarily due to weak consumer traffic and lower hardware sales as a result of product shortages and lower price points when compared to fiscal 2009. Segment operating income decreased by 53.6% to $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from $5.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in operating earnings 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. Selling, general and administrative expenses will rise as a percentage of sales during periods of store count growth due to the fixed nature of many store expenses compared to the immature sales at new stores. This decrease in operating earnings was offset by the changes in exchange rates which had the effect of increasing operating earnings by $0.7 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 when compared to the applicable period in the prior fiscal year.

Europe

Segment results for Europe include retail operations in 13 European countries. As of May 1, 2010, the European segment operated 1,313 stores compared to 1,214 stores as of May 2, 2009. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, European sales increased $22.8 million, or 7.2%, compared to the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009. The increase in sales was primarily due to the additional sales at the 144 stores opened since January 31, 2009 and the favorable impact of changes in exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 which had the effect of increasing sales by $16.0 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This increase in sales was offset by a decrease in sales at existing stores which was primarily driven by weak consumer traffic due to the continued macroeconomic weakness and lower hardware sales partially due to lower price points when compared to fiscal 2009.

The segment operating loss in Europe was $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to operating income of $5.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily driven by the decreased 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 the impact of changes in exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which had the effect of increasing the operating loss by $0.2 million when compared to fiscal 2009.

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 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, cash used in operations was $257.9 million, compared to cash used in operations of $268.7 million during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009. The decrease in cash used in operations of $10.8 million was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by the increase in cash used for inventory, taxes payable and prepaid expenses and other current assets. The decrease in cash used for accounts payable and accrued liabilities net of inventory was primarily due to lower hardware purchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of product shortages and our efforts to effectively manage inventory levels. The increase in cash used for taxes payable in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to

the timing of estimated income tax payments made during the quarter compared to fiscal 2009. The decrease in cash used in operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was also aided by the increase in cash provided by net earnings and the non-cash adjustment for depreciation and amortization of $9.2 million and an increase in the operating activities adjustment related to the excess tax expense realized from the exercise of stock-based awards of $2.2 million.

Cash used in investing activities was $36.0 million and $40.6 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, respectively. During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, $35.3 million of cash was used primarily to open new stores in the U.S. and internationally and to invest in information systems and e-commerce, digital and loyalty program initiatives. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009, $36.6 million of cash was used primarily to open new stores in the U.S. and internationally and to invest in information systems.

Cash used in financing activities was $190.6 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and cash used in financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 was $48.5 million. The cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended May 1, 2010 was primarily due to the purchase of $188.9 million of treasury shares pursuant to the Board of Directors’ $300 million authorization in January 2010 and $2.7 million for the realization of tax expense relating to the stock option exercises and vested restricted stock. The cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended May 2, 2009 was primarily due to the repurchase of $50.8 million of principal value of the Company’s senior notes, offset by the issuance of shares relating to stock option exercises of $2.8 million.

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 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 May 1, 2010, 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. As of May 1, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8.2 million.

In September 2007, the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20.0 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 May 1, 2010, there were cash overdrafts of $4.1 million outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $15.8 million.

In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”) and $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes” and, together with the Senior Floating Rate Notes, 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 net proceeds of the offering were used to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration paid to the stockholders of Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp. (“EB”) in connection with the EB merger. In November 2006, Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new Trustee for the Notes.

The Senior 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 May 1, 2010, the unamortized original issue discount was $2.4 million. The Issuers pay interest on the Senior 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.

As of May 2, 2009 and May 1, 2010, the only long-term debt outstanding was the Senior Notes.

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 74 stores in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and expects to open approximately 400 stores in fiscal 2010. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2010 are projected to be approximately $200 million, to be used primarily to fund new store openings and invest in distribution and information systems in support of operations. In addition, in fiscal 2010 we have allocated approximately $100 million for acquisitions in support of our e-commerce and digital initiatives.

Between May 2006 and September 2009, the Company repurchased and redeemed the $300 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes and $200 million of Senior Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. All of the authorized amounts were repurchased or redeemed and the repurchased Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The associated loss on the retirement of debt was $2.9 million for the 13 week period ended May 2, 2009, 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.

On January 11, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $300 million share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the number of shares repurchased were 6.1 million for an average price per share of $20.12. Of these shares, $64.6 million of treasury share purchases were settled at the beginning of fiscal 2010. For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company has purchased an additional 6.5 million shares for an average price per share of $19.03. Since the end of the fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2010, the Company has purchased an additional 1.3 million shares for an average price per share of $21.43.

Based on our current operating plans, 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 Senior Notes, store expansion and remodeling activities and corporate capital expenditure programs for at least the next 12 months.

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;

	•	alternate sources of distribution of video game software;

	•	the competitive environment in the electronic game industry;

	•	our ability to open and operate new stores;

	•	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.

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 Senior 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 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 fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2010, the Company recognized an $11.9 million gain in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments. The aggregate fair value of the Foreign Currency Contracts as of May 1, 2010 was a net asset of $20.7 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 May 1, 2010 would result in a (loss) or gain in value of the forwards, options and swaps of ($31.6) million or $31.6 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 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.

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 in the Circuit Court of Fayette, Alabama, 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.

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*

Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010. 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.
