TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

General

      GameStop Corp. (“GameStop” or the “Company”) is the largest video game and PC entertainment software specialty retailer in the United States, based on the number of U.S. stores we operate and our total U.S. revenues. We carry one of the largest assortments of new and used video game hardware, video game software and accessories, PC entertainment software, and related products, including action figures, trading cards and strategy guides. As of January 29, 2005, we operated 1,826 stores in the United States, Puerto Rico, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Guam. We operate most of our stores under the GameStop name. We carry a constantly changing selection of more than 5,000 stock keeping units (“SKUs”) of electronic game merchandise in most stores. In addition, we operate a web site at www.gamestop.com and publish Game Informer, the industry’s largest circulation multi-platform video game magazine, with over 2,000,000 subscribers.

      Of our 1,826 stores, 1,310 stores are located in strip centers and 516 stores are located in shopping malls and other locations. Our strip center stores, which average approximately 1,600 square feet, carry a balanced mix of new and used video game hardware, video game software and accessories, which we refer to as video game products, and PC entertainment software. Our mall stores, which average approximately 1,200 square feet, carry primarily new video game products and PC entertainment software, as well as used video game products. Our used video game products provide a unique value proposition to our customers, and our purchasing of used video game products provides our customers with an opportunity to trade in their used video game products for store credits and apply those credits towards other merchandise, which, in turn, increases sales.

      Our corporate office and distribution facilities are housed in a 250,000 square foot headquarters and distribution center in Grapevine, Texas. In March 2004, we purchased a new 420,000 square foot facility in Grapevine, Texas. We relocated some of our distribution operations to this facility in fiscal 2004 (the 52 weeks ending January 29, 2005), and intend to relocate our headquarters and remaining distribution center operations to this facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 (the 52 weeks ending January 28, 2006).

      Prior to February 12, 2002, we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barnes & Noble, Inc. (“Barnes & Noble”). On February 12, 2002, we completed an initial public offering of shares of our Class A common stock raising net proceeds of approximately $347.3 million. A portion of those proceeds was used to repay $250.0 million of our $400 million indebtedness to Barnes & Noble, with Barnes & Noble contributing the remaining $150.0 million of indebtedness to us as additional paid-in-capital. Barnes & Noble owned approximately 63% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock through its ownership of 100% of our Class B common stock until October 2004. On October 1, 2004, we repurchased approximately 6.1 million shares of our Class B common stock at a price equal to $18.26 per share for aggregate consideration of approximately $111.5 million. On November 12, 2004, Barnes & Noble distributed to its shareholders its remaining 29.9 million shares of our Class B common stock in a tax-free dividend. Our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols GME and GME.B, respectively.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-looking Statements

      This report on Form 10-K/A 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:

      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,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “pro forma” 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 otherwise after the date of this Form 10-K/A. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances contained in this Form 10-K/A may not occur, causing actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements.

Risk Factors

      An investment in our Company involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks below, together with the other information contained in this report, before you make an investment decision with respect to our Company. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we consider immaterial, may also impair our business operations. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition, and could cause a decline in the trading price of our common stock and the value of your investment.

      We depend on major hardware manufacturers, primarily Sony Computer Entertainment of America, Nintendo of America, Inc. and Microsoft Corp., to deliver new and existing video game platforms on a timely basis and in anticipated quantities. In addition, we depend on software publishers to introduce new and updated software titles. Any material delay in the introduction or delivery of hardware platforms or software titles could result in reduced sales in one or more fiscal quarters.

      Our business depends upon the continued development of new and enhanced video game platforms, PC hardware and video game and PC entertainment software. Our business could suffer due to the failure of

manufacturers to develop new or enhanced video game platforms, a decline in the continued technological development and use of multimedia PCs, or the failure of software publishers to develop popular game and entertainment titles for current or future generation video game systems or PC hardware.

      Our financial results depend significantly upon the business terms we can obtain from our suppliers, including competitive prices, unsold product return policies, advertising and market development allowances, freight charges and payment terms. We purchase substantially all of our products directly from manufacturers, software publishers and approximately five distributors. Our largest vendors are Electronic Arts, Inc., Nintendo and Microsoft, which accounted for 14%, 13% and 12%, respectively, of our new product purchases in fiscal 2004. If our suppliers do not provide us with favorable business terms, we may not be able to offer products to our customers at competitive prices.

      The electronic game industry has been cyclical in nature in response to the introduction and maturation of new technology. Following the introduction of new video game platforms, sales of these platforms and related software and accessories generally increase due to initial demand, while sales of older platforms and related products generally decrease as customers migrate toward the new platforms. New video game platforms have historically been introduced approximately every five years. If video game platform manufacturers fail to develop new hardware platforms, our sales of video game products could decline.

      Our business, like that of many specialty retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of our sales and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season. During fiscal 2004, we generated approximately 38% of our sales and approximately 56% of our operating earnings during the fourth quarter. Any adverse trend in sales during the holiday selling season could lower our results of operations for the fourth quarter and the entire year.

      Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending upon several factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

      These and other factors could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and this makes the prediction of our financial results on a quarterly basis difficult. Also, it is possible that our quarterly financial results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.

      Our growth strategy is largely dependent upon opening new stores and operating them profitably. We opened 338 stores in fiscal 2004 and expect to open approximately 370 to 400 new stores in fiscal 2005. Our

ability to open new stores and operate them profitably depends upon a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control. These factors include:

      Our growth will also depend on our ability to process increased merchandise volume resulting from new store openings through our inventory management systems and distribution facility in a timely manner. If we fail to manage new store openings in a timely and cost efficient manner, our growth may decrease.

      We rely on computerized inventory and management systems to coordinate and manage the activities in our distribution center in Grapevine, Texas, as well as to communicate distribution information to the off-site third-party operated distribution centers with which we work. The third-party distribution centers pick up products from our suppliers, repackage the products for each of our stores and ship those products to our stores by package carriers. We use an inventory replenishment system to track sales and inventory. Our ability to rapidly process incoming shipments of new release titles and deliver them to all of our stores, either that day or by the next morning, enables us to meet peak demand and replenish stores at least twice a week, to keep our stores in stock at optimum levels and to move inventory efficiently. If our inventory or management information systems fail to adequately perform these functions, our business could be adversely affected.

      In March 2004, we purchased a new 420,000 square foot headquarters and distribution center in Grapevine, Texas. We relocated some of our distribution operations to this facility in fiscal 2004. We intend to transfer our headquarters and remaining distribution center operations to this facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. If this transfer is not implemented efficiently, our sales and profitability may be adversely affected.

      The electronic game industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid changes in consumer preferences and frequent new product introductions. We compete with mass merchants and regional chains, including Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Target Corporation; other video game and PC software specialty stores located in malls and other locations, including Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp.; toy retail chains, including Toys “R” Us, Inc.; mail-order businesses; catalogs; direct sales by software publishers; online retailers; and computer product and consumer electronics stores, including Best Buy Co., Inc. and Circuit City Stores, Inc. In addition, video games are available for rental from many video stores, some of whom, like Hollywood Entertainment Corp. and Blockbuster, Inc., have increased the availability of video game products for sale. Video game products may also be distributed through other methods which may emerge in the future. We also compete with sellers of used video game products. Some of our competitors in the electronic game industry have longer operating histories and may have greater financial resources than we do. Additionally, we compete with other forms of entertainment activities, including movies, television, theater, sporting events and family entertainment centers. If we lose customers to our competitors, or if we reduce our prices or increase our spending to maintain our customers, we may be less profitable.

      Our suppliers rely on foreign sources, primarily in Asia, to manufacture a significant portion of the products we purchase from them. As a result, any event causing a disruption of imports, including the imposition of import restrictions or trade restrictions in the form of tariffs or quotas, could increase the cost and reduce the supply of products available to us, which could lower our sales and profitability.

      All of our retail stores are located in leased premises. If the cost of leasing existing stores increases, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our existing store locations as leases expire. In addition, we may not be able to enter into new leases on favorable terms or at all, or we may not be able to locate suitable alternative sites or additional sites for new store expansion in a timely manner. Our revenues and earnings may decline if we fail to maintain existing store locations, enter into new leases, locate alternative sites or find additional sites for new store expansion.

      While it is currently not possible to download video game software onto existing video game platforms over the Internet, at some point in the future this technology may become available. A limited selection of PC entertainment software may currently be purchased for download over the Internet, and as technology advances, a broader selection of PC entertainment software may become available for purchase and download or playing on the Internet. If advances in technology continue to expand our customers’ ability to access software through these and other sources, our customers may no longer choose to purchase video games or PC entertainment software in our stores. As a result, our sales and earnings could decline.

      The interactive entertainment industry is characterized by swiftly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new and enhanced product introductions and product obsolescence. These characteristics require us to respond quickly to technological changes and to understand their impact on our customers’ preferences. If we fail to keep pace with these changes, our business may suffer.

      In the event that we had outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, we would then be subject to operational covenants and other restrictions under our revolving credit facility. The covenants place restrictions on our ability to, among other things, incur more debt or create liens on our assets, merge or consolidate with others, make acquisitions and investments, dispose of assets and enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition, in the event that we had availability under the credit facility of less than $20,000,000, we would be restricted from paying dividends or repurchasing equity securities. These covenants could limit our operational flexibility and restrict our ability to borrow additional funds, if necessary, to finance operations.

      Failure to comply with these operational covenants could result in an event of default under the terms of the credit facility which, if not cured or waived, could result in the borrowed amounts becoming due and payable. In addition, our obligations under the credit facility are secured by all assets owned by us and our subsidiaries. An event of default under the credit facility would permit the lenders to proceed directly against those assets.

      Our success depends upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain key management for our stores and skilled merchandising, marketing and administrative personnel at our headquarters. We depend upon the continued services of our key executive officers, R. Richard Fontaine, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel A. DeMatteo, our Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer and David W.

Carlson, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The loss of services of any of our key personnel could have a negative impact on our business.

      To enhance our efforts to grow and compete, we may engage in acquisitions. Our plans to pursue future acquisitions are subject to our ability to negotiate favorable terms for these acquisitions. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that future acquisitions will be completed. In addition, to facilitate future acquisitions, we may take actions that could dilute the equity interests of our stockholders, increase our debt or cause us to assume contingent liabilities, all of which may have a detrimental effect on the price of our common stock. Finally, if any acquisitions are not successfully integrated with our business, our ongoing operations could be adversely affected.

      In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as changes to the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we may be required to increase our expenditures on internal controls, and hire additional personnel and additional outside legal, accounting and advisory services, all of which may cause our general and administrative costs to increase. Insurers are also likely to increase premiums as a result of the high claims rates they have incurred in the past from other companies, and so our premiums for our directors’ and officers’ insurance policies are likely to increase. Changes in the accounting rules could materially increase the expenses that we report under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and adversely affect our operating results.

      The holders of our Class A and Class B common stock generally have identical rights, except that holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. The difference in the voting rights of the Class A and Class B common stock could diminish the value of the Class A common stock to the extent that investors or any potential future purchasers of our Class A common stock ascribe value to the superior voting rights of the Class B common stock.

Industry Background

      According to NPD Group, Inc., a market research firm, the electronic game industry was an approximately $11.0 billion market in the United States in 2004. Of this $11.0 billion market, approximately $10.0 billion was attributable to video game products, excluding sales of used video game products, and approximately $1.0 billion was attributable to PC entertainment software.

      New Video Game Products. The Entertainment Software Association (formerly the Interactive Digital Software Association), or ESA, estimates that 50% of all Americans, or approximately 145 million people, play video or computer games on a regular basis. We expect the following trends to result in increased sales of video game products:

      Used Video Game Market. As the installed base of video game hardware platforms has increased and new hardware platforms are introduced, a growing used video game market has evolved in the United States. Based on reports published by NPD, we believe that, as of December 2004, the installed base of video game hardware systems in the United States, based on original sales, totaled over 185 million units, including approximately 27 million Sony PlayStation 2 units, 12 million Microsoft Xbox units, 9 million Nintendo GameCube units, 27 million Nintendo Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP units, 29 million Sony PlayStation units and over 80 million units of older hardware platforms such as Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color, Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo systems. Hardware manufacturers and third-party software publishers have produced a wide variety of software titles for each of these hardware platforms. Based on internal company estimates, we believe that the installed base of video game software units in the United States exceeds 700 million units.

      PC Entertainment Software. PC entertainment software is generally sold in the form of CD-ROMs and played on multimedia PCs featuring fast processors, expanded memories, and enhanced graphics and audio capabilities.

Business Strategy

      Our goal is to enhance our position as the nation’s largest specialty retailer of new and used video game products and PC entertainment software by focusing on the following strategies:

      Targeting a Broad Audience of Game Players. We have created a store environment targeting a broad audience including the electronic game enthusiast, the casual gamer and the seasonal gift giver. Our mall stores primarily focus on the electronic game enthusiast who demands the latest merchandise featuring the “hottest” technology immediately on the day of release. Our strip center stores also serve the electronic game enthusiast, but focus on serving the value-oriented customer by offering a wide selection of value-priced used video game products and the opportunity to trade in used video game products in exchange for store credits applicable to future purchases, which, in turn, drives more sales.

      Enhancing our Image as a Destination Location. Our stores serve as destination locations for game players due to our broad selection of products, knowledgeable sales associates, game-oriented environment and unique pricing proposition. We offer all major video game platforms, provide a broad assortment of video game products and offer a larger and more current selection of merchandise than other retailers. We provide a high level of customer service by hiring game enthusiasts and providing them with ongoing sales training, as well as training in the latest technical and functional elements of our products and services. Our stores are equipped with several video game sampling areas, which provide our customers the opportunity to play games before purchase, as well as equipment to play video game clips.

      Offering the Largest Selection of Used Video Game Products. We are the nation’s leading provider and carry the broadest selection of used video game products for both current and previous generation platforms. We are one of the only retailers that provide video game software for previous generation platforms, giving us a unique advantage in the video game retail industry. The opportunity to trade in and purchase used video game products offers our customers a unique value proposition unavailable at mass merchants, toy stores and consumer electronics retailers. We obtain most of our used video game products from trade-ins made in our stores by our customers. Used video game products generate significantly higher gross margins than new video game products.

      Building the GameStop Brand. We currently operate most of our stores under the GameStop name and have substantially completed the rebranding of our stores to the GameStop brand. Building the GameStop brand has enabled us to leverage brand awareness and to capture advertising and marketing efficiencies. Our branding strategy is further supported by the GameStop loyalty card and our web site. The GameStop loyalty card, which is obtained as a bonus with a paid subscription to our Game Informer magazine, offers customers discounts on selected merchandise in our stores. Our web site allows our customers to buy games on-line and to learn about the latest video game products and PC entertainment software and their availability in our stores.

      Providing a First-to-Market Distribution Network. We employ a variety of rapid-response distribution methods in our efforts to be the first-to-market for new video game products and PC entertainment software. We strive to deliver popular new releases to selected stores within hours of release and to all of our stores by the next morning. This highly efficient distribution network is essential, as a significant portion of a new title’s sales will be generated in the first few days and weeks following its release. As the largest specialty retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software in the United States, with a proven capability to distribute new releases to our customers quickly, we believe that we regularly receive a disproportionately large allocation of popular new video game products and PC entertainment software. On a daily basis, we actively monitor sales trends, customer reservations and store manager feedback to ensure a high in-stock position for each store. To assure our customers immediate access to new releases, we offer our customers the opportunity to pre-order products in our stores or through our web site prior to their release.

      Investing in our Information Systems and Distribution Capabilities. We employ sophisticated and fully-integrated inventory management, store-level point of sale and financial systems and a centralized state-of-the-art distribution facility. These systems enable us to maximize the efficiency of the flow of over 5,000 SKUs, improve store efficiency, optimize store in-stock positions and carry a broad selection of inventory. Our

proprietary inventory management system enables us to maximize sales of new release titles and avoid markdowns as titles mature and utilizes electronic point-of-sale equipment that provides corporate headquarters with daily information regarding store-level sales and available inventory levels to automatically generate replenishment shipments to each store at least twice a week. In addition, our highly-customized inventory management system allows us to actively manage the pricing and product availability of our used video game products across our store base and to reallocate our inventory as necessary. Our systems enable each store to carry a merchandise assortment uniquely tailored to its own sales mix and customer needs. Our ability to react quickly to consumer purchasing trends has resulted in a target mix of inventory, reduced shipping and handling costs for overstocks and reduced our need to discount products.

Growth Strategy

      New Store Expansion. We intend to continue to open new strip center stores in our targeted markets and new mall stores in selected mall locations. We opened 300 new stores in fiscal 2003 and 338 new stores in fiscal 2004. We plan on opening approximately 370 to 400 new stores in fiscal 2005. Our primary growth vehicle will be the expansion of our strip center store base, which we believe could grow to over 3,000 stores in the United States. Our strategy is to open strip center stores in targeted major metropolitan markets and in regional shopping centers in tertiary markets. We analyze each market relative to target population and other demographic indices, real estate availability, competitive factors and past operating history, if available. In some cases, these new stores may adversely impact sales at existing stores.

      In addition, we began to expand in Europe in June 2003 by acquiring a majority interest in Gamesworld Group Limited (“Gamesworld”), an Ireland-based video game retailer with 10 stores throughout Ireland. Since our acquisition of Gamesworld, we have opened an additional 15 stores, including three in Northern Ireland. We plan to continue to expand in Europe.

      Increase Comparable Store Sales. We plan to increase our comparable store sales by capitalizing on the growth in the video game industry, expanding our sales of used video game products and increasing awareness of the GameStop name.

Merchandise

      Our product offerings consist of new and used video game products, PC entertainment software, and related products, such as action figures, trading cards and strategy guides. Our in-store inventory generally consists of a constantly changing selection of over 5,000 SKUs. We have a central buying group that negotiates terms, discounts and cooperative advertising allowances for all of our stores. We use customer requests and feedback, advance orders, industry magazines and product reviews to determine which new releases are expected to be hits. Advance orders are tracked at individual stores to distribute titles and capture demand effectively. This merchandise management is essential because a significant portion of a game’s sales are usually generated in the first days and weeks following its release. We also carefully manage product pricing utilizing a tiered-pricing strategy that enables us to tailor pricing at our stores based on each store’s competitive environment.

      Video Game Software. We purchase new video game software directly from the leading manufacturers, including Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, as well as over 40 third-party game publishers, such as Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive and Activision, Inc. We are one of the largest customers in the United States of video game titles sold by these publishers. We carry over 1,000 SKUs of new video game software at any given time across a variety of genres, including Sports, Action, Strategy, Adventure/ Role Playing and Simulation.

      Used Video Game Products. We are the largest retailer of used video games in the United States. We provide our customers with an opportunity to trade in their used video game products in our stores in exchange for store credits which can be applied towards the purchase of other products, including new merchandise. We have the largest selection (over 4,000 SKUs) of used video game titles which have an average price of $13 as compared to $35 for new video game titles and which generate significantly higher gross margins than new video game products. Our trade-in program provides our customers with a unique value proposition which is unavailable at mass merchants, toy stores and consumer electronics retailers. This program provides us with an inventory of used video game products which we resell to our more value-oriented customers. In addition, our highly-customized inventory management system allows us to actively manage the pricing and product availability of our used video game products across our store base and to reallocate our inventory as necessary. Our trade-in program also allows us to be one of the only suppliers of previous generation platforms and related video games. We also operate a refurbishment center where defective video game products can be tested, repaired, relabeled, repackaged and redistributed back to our stores.

      Video Game Hardware. We offer the video game platforms of all major manufacturers, including Sony PlayStation 2 and PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo DS, GameCube and Game Boy Advance SP. We also offer extended service agreements on video game hardware. In support of our strategy to be the destination location for electronic game players, we aggressively promote the sale of video game platforms. Video game hardware sales are generally driven by the introduction of new platform technology and the reduction in price points as platforms mature. Due to our strong relationships with the manufacturers of these platforms, we often receive disproportionately large allocations of new release hardware products, which is an important component of our strategy to be the destination of choice for electronic game players. We believe that selling video game hardware increases store traffic and promotes customer loyalty, leading to increased sales of video game software and accessories, which have higher gross margins than video game hardware.

      PC Entertainment and Other Software. We purchase PC entertainment software from over 35 publishers, including Electronic Arts, Microsoft and Vivendi Universal. We offer PC entertainment software across a variety of genres, including Sports, Action, Strategy, Adventure/ Role Playing and Simulation.

      Accessories and Other Products. Video game accessories consist primarily of controllers, memory cards and other add-ons. PC entertainment accessories consist primarily of video cards, joysticks and mice. We also carry strategy guides and magazines, as well as character-related merchandise, including action figures and trading cards. We carry over 750 SKUs of accessories and other products. In general, this category has higher margins than new video game and PC entertainment products.

      Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the sale of tangible products. The following table sets forth sales mix, expressed as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:

Store Operations

      As of January 29, 2005, we operated 1,826 stores, primarily under the GameStop name. Each of our stores typically carries over 5,000 SKUs. We design our stores to provide an electronic gaming atmosphere with an engaging and visually-captivating layout. Our stores are equipped with several video game sampling areas, which provide our customers the opportunity to play games before purchase, as well as equipment to play video game clips. We use store configuration, in-store signage and product demonstrations to produce marketing opportunities both for our vendors and for us.

Site Selection and Locations

      Site Selection. We have a dedicated staff of real estate personnel experienced in selecting store locations. Site selections for new stores are made after an extensive review of demographic data and other information relating to market potential, competitor access and visibility, compatible nearby tenants, accessible parking, location visibility, lease terms and the location of our other stores. Most of our stores are located in highly visible locations within malls and strip centers.

      Locations. The table below sets forth the number of our stores located in each state, the District of Columbia, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Puerto Rico and Guam as of January 29, 2005:

Game Informer

      We publish Game Informer, a monthly video game magazine featuring reviews of new title releases, tips and secrets about existing games and news regarding current developments in the electronic game industry. The magazine is sold through subscription and through displays in our stores. For its February 2005 issue, the magazine had more than 2,000,000 paid subscriptions. According to Advertising Age magazine, Game Informer is the 26^th largest consumer publication in the U.S. and had the third largest increase in paid circulation among U.S. consumer magazines in 2004, with an increase in excess of 43%. Also, according to Advertising Age magazine, Game Informer had the largest increase in paid circulation in 2003, with an increase in excess of 45%. Game Informer revenues are also generated through the sale of advertising space. In addition, we offer the GameStop loyalty card as a bonus with each paid subscription, providing our subscribers with a discount on selected merchandise.

E-Commerce

      We operate an electronic commerce web site at www.gamestop.com that allows our customers to buy video game products and other merchandise on-line. The site also offers customers information and content about available games, release dates for upcoming games, and access to store information, such as location and product availability. In 2003, we entered into an arrangement with Amazon.com, Inc. under which we are the exclusive specialty video game retailer listed on Amazon.com.

Advertising

      Our stores are primarily located in high traffic, high visibility areas of regional shopping malls and strip centers. Given the high foot traffic drawn past the stores themselves, we use in-store marketing efforts such as window displays and “coming soon” signs to attract customers, as well as to promote used video game products and subscriptions to our Game Informer magazine. Inside the stores, we feature selected products through the use of vendor displays, “coming soon” or preview videos, signs, catalogs, point-of-purchase materials and end-cap displays. These advertising efforts are designed to increase the initial sales of new titles upon their release. We receive cooperative advertising and market development funds from manufacturers, distributors, software publishers and accessory suppliers to promote their respective products. Generally, vendors agree to purchase advertising space in one of our advertising vehicles. Once we run the advertising, the vendor pays to us an agreed amount.

      As part of our brand-building efforts and targeted growth strategies, in the last three years, we expanded our newspaper advertising in certain targeted markets at certain key times of the year. In addition, we expanded our use of radio advertising in certain markets to promote store openings. We plan to continue these efforts in fiscal 2005.

Information Management

      Our operating strategy involves providing a broad merchandise selection to our customers as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible. We use our inventory management systems to maximize the efficiency of the flow of products to our stores, enhance store efficiency and optimize store in-stock and overall investment in inventory.

      Distribution. We operate a 210,000 square foot state-of-the-art distribution center in Grapevine, Texas. By operating with a centralized distribution facility, we effectively control and minimize inventory levels. A technologically-advanced conveyor system and flow-through racks control costs and improve speed of fulfillment. The technology used in the distribution center allows for high-volume receiving, distributions to stores and returns to vendors. Inventory is shipped to each store at least twice a week, or daily, if necessary, in order to keep stores in supply of products. In order to support our first-to-market distribution network, we utilize the services of nine off-site, third-party operated distribution centers that pick up products from our suppliers, repackage the products for each of our stores and ship those products to our stores by package carriers. Our ability to rapidly process incoming shipments of new release titles and deliver them to all of our stores, either that day or by the next morning, enables us to meet peak demand and replenish stores at least twice a week. We purchased a new 420,000 square foot headquarters and distribution center in Grapevine, Texas in 2004 and relocated certain of our distribution center operations to this facility. We intend to move our remaining distribution center operations to that facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

      Management Information Systems. Our proprietary inventory management system and point-of-sale technology show daily sales and in-store stock by title by store. Systems in place use this data to automatically generate replenishment shipments to each store from our distribution center in Grapevine, Texas, enabling each store to carry a merchandise assortment uniquely tailored to its own sales mix and rate of sale. Our call lists and reservation system also provide our centralized buying staff with information to determine order size and inventory management for store-by-store inventory allocation. We constantly review and edit our merchandise categories with the objective of ensuring that inventory is up-to-date and meets customer needs. We use a centralized PC network-based information system based in our corporate offices, in order to minimize initial outlay of capital while allowing for flexibility and growth as operations expand.

      Our in-store point-of-sale system enables us to efficiently manage in-store transactions. This proprietary point-of-sale system has been enhanced to facilitate trade-in transactions, including automatic look-up of trade-in prices and printing of machine-readable bar codes to facilitate in-store restocking of used video games. In addition, our central database of all used video game products allows us to actively manage the pricing and product availability of our used video game products across our store base and re-allocate our used video game products as necessary.

Field Management and Staff

      Our United States, Puerto Rico and Guam store operations are managed by a centrally located vice president of stores, four divisional vice presidents and 14 regional store operations directors. The regions are divided into approximately 140 districts, each with a district manager covering an average of 13 stores. Our stores in Ireland and Northern Ireland are managed by the founders of Gamesworld. Each store employs, on average, one manager, one assistant manager and between two and ten sales associates, many of whom are part-time employees. We have cultivated a work environment that attracts employees who are actively interested in electronic games. We seek to hire and retain employees who know and enjoy working with our products so that they are better able to assist customers. To encourage them to sell the full range of our products, we provide our employees with targeted incentive programs to drive sales. We also provide our employees with the opportunity to take home and try new video games, which enables them to better discuss those games with our customers. In addition, employees are casually dressed to encourage customer access and increase the “game-oriented” focus of the stores. We also employ 14 regional loss prevention managers who assist the field in implementing security to prevent theft of our products.

      Our stores communicate with our corporate offices via daily e-mail. This e-mail allows for better tracking of trends in upcoming titles, competitor strategies and in-stock inventory positions. In addition, this

communication allows title selection in each store to be continuously updated and tailored to reflect the tastes and buying patterns of the store’s local market. These communications also give field management access to relevant inventory levels and loss prevention information. We also sponsor an annual store managers’ conference, which we invite all video game software publishers to attend, and operate an intense educational training program to provide our employees with information about the video game products that will be released by those publishers in the holiday season.

Customer Service

      Our store personnel provide value-added services to each customer, such as maintaining lists of regular customers, notifying each customer by phone when new titles are available, and reserving new releases for customers with a down payment to ensure product availability. In addition, our store personnel readily provide product reviews to ensure customers are making informed purchasing decisions and offer help-line numbers to increase a customer’s enjoyment of the product upon purchase.

Vendors

      We purchase substantially all of our new products from approximately 85 manufacturers and software publishers and approximately five distributors. Purchases from the top ten vendors accounted for approximately 71% of our new product purchases in fiscal 2004. Only Electronic Arts, Nintendo and Microsoft (which accounted for 14%, 13% and 12%, respectively) individually accounted for more than 10% of our new product purchases during fiscal 2004. We have established price protections and return privileges with our primary vendors in order to reduce the risk of inventory obsolescence. In addition, we have no purchase contracts with trade vendors and conduct business on an order-by-order basis, a practice that is typical throughout the industry. We believe that maintaining and strengthening our long-term relationships with our vendors is essential to our operations and continued expansion. We believe that we have very good relations with our vendors.

Competition

      The electronic game industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid changes in consumer preferences and frequent new product introductions. We compete with mass merchants and regional chains, including Wal-Mart and Target; other video game and PC software specialty stores located in malls and other locations, including Electronics Boutique; toy retail chains, including Toys “R” Us; mail-order businesses; catalogs; direct sales by software publishers; online retailers; and computer product and consumer electronics stores, including Best Buy and Circuit City. In addition, video games are available for rental from many video stores, some of whom, like Hollywood Entertainment and Blockbuster, have increased the availability of video game products for sale. Video game products may also be distributed through other methods which may emerge in the future. We also compete with sellers of used video game products. Additionally, we compete with other forms of entertainment activities, including movies, television, theater, sporting events and family entertainment centers.

Seasonality

      Our business, like that of many specialty retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of our sales and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season. During fiscal 2004, we generated approximately 38% of our sales and approximately 56% of our operating earnings during the fourth quarter. Any adverse trend in sales during the holiday selling season could lower our results of operations for the fourth quarter and the entire year.

Trademarks

      We have a number of trademarks and servicemarks, including “GameStop,” “Game Informer,” “Babbage’s” and “FuncoLand,” all of which have been registered by us with the United States Patent and

Trademark Office. We maintain a policy of pursuing registration of our principal marks and opposing any infringement of our marks.

Employees

      We have approximately 2,500 full-time salaried, 2,300 full-time hourly and between 12,000 and 18,000 part-time hourly employees depending on the time of year. Fluctuation in the number of part-time hourly employees is due to the seasonality of the electronic game industry. We believe that our relationship with our employees is excellent. None of our employees is represented by a labor union or is a member of a collective bargaining unit.

Available Information

      We make available on our website (http://www.gamestop.com), under “Investor Relations — SEC Filings,” free of charge, our annual reports on Form  10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file or furnish such material with the SEC. In addition, the Company’s Code of Standards, Ethics and Conduct is available on our website under “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance” and is available to our stockholders in print, free of charge, upon written request to the Company’s Investor Relations Department at GameStop Corp., 2250 William D. Tate Avenue, Grapevine, Texas 76051.

      All of our stores are leased. Store leases typically provide for an initial lease term of three to ten years, plus renewal options. This arrangement gives us the flexibility to pursue extension or relocation opportunities that arise from changing market conditions. We believe that, as current leases expire, we will be able to obtain either renewals at present locations or leases for equivalent locations in the same area.

      The terms of the store leases for the 1,826 leased stores open as of January 29, 2005 expire as follows:

      In addition to our stores, we lease a 250,000 square foot headquarters and distribution center in Grapevine, Texas. This lease expires on January 31, 2006.

      In March 2004, we purchased a 420,000 square foot facility in Grapevine, Texas. We relocated certain of our distribution operations to this facility in fiscal 2004 and will be relocating our headquarters and remaining distribution center operations to this facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Management believes this facility will support our long-term growth.

      We lease a 7,300 square foot office facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota which houses the operations of Game Informer magazine. This lease expires in February 2007.

      We lease a 15,000 square foot facility in Dublin, Ireland, which houses the corporate and distribution operations for the Company’s operations in Ireland and Northern Ireland. This lease expires in January 2013.

      On May 29, 2003, former Store Manager Carlos Moreira (“Moreira”) filed a class action lawsuit against the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Gamestop, Inc. (collectively “GameStop”) in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging that GameStop’s salaried retail managers were misclassified as exempt and should have been paid overtime. Moreira was seeking to represent a class of current and former salaried retail managers who were employed by GameStop in California at any time between May 29, 1999 and September 30, 2004. Moreira alleged claims for violation of California Labor Code sections 203, 226 and 1194 and California Business and Professions Code section 17200. Moreira was seeking recovery of unpaid overtime, interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs. During court-ordered mediation in March 2004, the parties reached a settlement which defined the class of current and former salaried retail managers and will result in a cost to the Company of approximately $2,750,000. On January 28, 2005, the court granted approval of the settlement. The matter is now in the claims administration process. A provision for this proposed settlement was recorded in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004. Management expects that the final settlement and resolution of this case will take place in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

      On October 20, 2004, former Store Manager John P. Kurtz (“Kurtz”) filed a collective action lawsuit against the Company in U.S. District Court, Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette/ Opelousas Division, alleging that GameStop’s salaried retail managers were misclassified as exempt and should have been paid overtime, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kurtz is seeking to represent all current and former salaried retail managers who were employed by GameStop for the three years before October 20, 2004. Kurtz is seeking recovery of unpaid overtime, interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs. On January 12, 2005, GameStop filed an answer to the complaint and a motion to transfer the action to the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division. GameStop is awaiting the court’s decision on the motion. Management intends to vigorously defend this action and does not believe there is sufficient information to estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting from the lawsuit.

      On February 14, 2005, Steve Strickland, as personal representative of the Estate of Arnold Strickland, deceased, and Henry Mealer, as personal representative of the Estate of Ace Mealer, deceased, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against GameStop, Sony, Take-Two Interactive and Wal-Mart (collectively, the “Defendants”) and Devin Moore in the Circuit Court of Fayette County, Alabama, alleging that Defendants’ actions in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supplying Defendant Moore with violent video games were negligent and contributed to Defendant Moore killing Arnold Strickland and Ace Mealer. Plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $600 million under the Alabama wrongful death statute. GameStop and the other defendants are in the process of preparing an initial response and intend to vigorously defend this action.

      In the ordinary course of our business, we are from time to time subject to various other legal proceedings. We do not believe that any such other legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.

      There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the 13 weeks ended January 29, 2005.

General

      We are the largest specialty retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software in the United States, based on the number of U.S. retail stores we operate and our total U.S. revenues. 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 January 29, 2005, we operated 1,826 stores, in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Puerto Rico and Guam, primarily under the name GameStop. We also operate an electronic commerce web site under the name gamestop.com and publish Game Informer, the industry’s largest circulation multi-platform video game magazine in the United States.

      Our fiscal year is composed of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The fiscal years ended January 29, 2005, or “fiscal 2004,” January 31, 2004, or “fiscal 2003,” and February 1, 2003, or “fiscal 2002,” consisted of 52 weeks.

      Our wholly-owned subsidiary Babbage’s began operations in November 1996. In October 1999, Babbage’s was acquired by, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of, Barnes & Noble. In June 2000,

Barnes & Noble acquired Funco and thereafter, Babbage’s became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Funco. In December 2000, Funco changed its name to GameStop, Inc.

      Growth in the video game industry is driven by the introduction of new technology. In October 2000, Sony introduced PlayStation 2 and, in November 2001, Microsoft introduced Xbox and Nintendo introduced GameCube. Nintendo introduced the Game Boy Advance SP in March 2003 and the DS in November 2004. As is typical following the introduction of new video game platforms, sales of new video game hardware generally increase as a percentage of sales in the first full year following introduction. As video game platforms mature, the sales mix attributable to complementary video game software and accessories, which generate higher gross margins, generally increases in the second and third years. The net effect is generally a decline in gross margins in the first full year following new platform releases and an increase in gross margins in the second and third years. Unit sales of maturing video game platforms are typically also driven by manufacturer-funded retail price decreases, further driving sales of related software and accessories. The retail prices for the PlayStation 2, the Xbox and the GameCube were reduced in May 2002 and May 2003, resulting in an increase in unit sales and sales of the related software and accessories. In September 2003, Nintendo reduced the retail price of the GameCube, which resulted in a significant increase in unit sales and sales of the related software and accessories during the fourth quarter of 2003. In March 2004, Microsoft reduced the retail price of the Xbox and, in May 2004, Sony reduced the retail price of the PlayStation2. We expect that the installed base of these hardware platforms and sales of related software and accessories will increase in the future. Sony launched the PSP in March 2005 and the Company anticipates that Microsoft will launch the Xbox 2 in November 2005. Because of these anticipated launches, we expect that our gross margin will decline from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies

      The Company believes that the following are its most significant accounting policies which are important in determining the reporting of transactions and events.

      Use of Estimates. 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.

      Revenue Recognition. Revenue from the sales of the Company’s products is recognized at the time of sale. The sales of used video game products are recorded at the retail price charged to the customer. Sales returns (which are not significant) are recognized at the time returns are made. Subscription and advertising revenues are recorded upon release of magazines for sale to consumers and are stated net of sales discounts. Magazine subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period.

      Merchandise Inventories. Our merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Used video game products traded in by customers are recorded as inventory at the amount of the store credit given to the customer. In valuing inventory, management is required to make assumptions regarding the necessity of reserves required to value potentially obsolete or over-valued items at the lower of cost or market. Management considers quantities on hand, recent sales, potential price protections and returns to vendors, among other factors, when making these assumptions.

      Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (ranging from two to eight years). Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while betterments and major remodeling costs are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the respective leases, including renewal options in which the exercise of the option is reasonably assured (generally ranging from three to ten years). Capitalized lease acquisition costs are being amortized over the average lease terms of the

underlying leases. Costs incurred in purchasing management information systems are capitalized and included in property and equipment. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives from the date the systems become operational. The Company periodically reviews its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or their depreciation or amortization periods should be accelerated. The Company assesses recoverability based on several factors, including management’s intention with respect to its stores and those stores’ projected undiscounted cash flows. An impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the present value of their projected cash flows. No write-downs have been necessary by the Company through January 29, 2005.

      Goodwill. Goodwill, aggregating $340.0 million, was recorded in the acquisition of Funco and through the application of “push-down” accounting in accordance with SAB 54 in connection with the acquisition of Babbage’s by a subsidiary of Barnes & Noble. Goodwill in the amount of $2.9 million was recorded in connection with the acquisition of Gamesworld Group Limited in June 2003. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Effective February 3, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead evaluate goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. Prior to the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 142, the Company’s goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over a 30-year period. At February 2, 2002, accumulated amortization was $22.0 million. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 142, the Company completed the initial impairment test of the goodwill attributable to its reporting unit as of February 3, 2002, and concluded that none of its goodwill was impaired. As part of this analysis, the Company determined that it has one reporting unit based upon the similar economic characteristics of its operations. Fair value of this reporting unit was estimated using market capitalization methodologies. Subsequent to the acquisition of Gamesworld Group Limited, the Company determined that it still has one reporting unit based upon the similar economic characteristics of its operations. The Company also evaluates the goodwill of its reporting unit for impairment at least annually. The Company elected to perform its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of both fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004 and concluded that none of its goodwill was impaired. Note 7 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Company provides additional information concerning goodwill.

      Cash Consideration Received from Vendors. The Company and its vendors participate in cooperative advertising programs and other vendor marketing programs in which the vendors provide the Company with cash consideration in exchange for marketing and advertising the vendors’ products. Our accounting for cooperative advertising arrangements and other vendor marketing programs, in accordance with FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 02-16 or “EITF 02-16,” results in a portion of the consideration received from our vendors reducing the product costs in inventory rather than as an offset to our marketing and advertising costs as in years prior to fiscal 2003. The consideration serving as a reduction in inventory is recognized in cost of sales as inventory is sold. The amount of vendor allowances recorded as a reduction of inventory is determined by calculating the ratio of vendor allowances in excess of specific, incremental and identifiable advertising and promotional costs to merchandise purchases. The Company then applies this ratio to the value of inventory in determining the amount of vendor reimbursements recorded as a reduction to inventory reflected on the balance sheet. Because of the variability in the timing of our advertising and marketing programs throughout the year, the Company uses significant estimates in determining the amount of vendor allowances recorded as a reduction of inventory in interim periods, including estimates of full year vendor allowances, specific, incremental and identifiable advertising and promotional costs, merchandise purchases and value of inventory. Estimates of full year vendor allowances and the value of inventory are dependent upon estimates of full year merchandise purchases. Determining the amount of vendor allowances recorded as a reduction of inventory at the end of the fiscal year no longer requires the use of estimates as all vendor allowances, specific, incremental and identifiable advertising and promotional costs, merchandise purchases and value of inventory are known.

      Lease Accounting. The Company, similar to many other retailers, has revised its method of accounting for rent expense (and related deferred rent liability) and leasehold improvements funded by landlord

incentives for allowances under operating leases (tenant improvement allowances) to conform to GAAP, as recently clarified by the Chief Accountant of the SEC in a February 7, 2005 letter to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For all stores opened since the beginning of fiscal 2002, the Company had calculated straight-line rent expense using the initial lease term, but was generally depreciating leasehold improvements over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the initial lease term plus the option periods. The Company corrected its calculation of straight-line rent expense to include the impact of escalating rents for periods in which it is reasonably assured of exercising lease options and to include in the lease term any period during which the Company is not obligated to pay rent while the store is being constructed (“rent holiday”). The Company also corrected its calculation of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements for those leases which do not include an option period. Because the effects of the correction were not material to any previous years, a non-cash, after-tax adjustment of $3.3 million was made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 to correct the method of accounting for rent expense (and related deferred rent liability). Of the $3.3 million after-tax adjustment, $1.8 million pertained to the accounting for rent holidays, $1.4 million pertained to the calculation of straight-line rent expense to include the impact of escalating rents for periods in which the Company is reasonably assured of exercising lease options and $0.1 million pertained to the calculation of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements for the small portion of leases which do not include an option period. The aggregate effect of these corrections relating to prior years was $1.9 million ($0.9 million for fiscal 2003, $0.4 million for fiscal 2002 and $0.6 million for years prior to fiscal 2002). The correction does not affect historical or future cash flows or the timing of payments under related leases.

      In addition, the Company has changed its classification of tenant improvement allowances on its balance sheets and statements of cash flows. Like many other retailers, the Company had historically classified tenant improvement allowances as reductions of property and equipment on the Company’s balance sheets, as reductions in depreciation and amortization in the Company’s statements of operations and as reductions in capital expenditures, an investing activity, on the Company’s statements of cash flows. In order to comply with the provisions of FTB 88-1, however, the Company has reclassified tenant improvement allowances as deferred rent liabilities (in long-term liabilities) on the Company’s balance sheets, as a reduction of rent expense (in selling, general and administrative expenses) in the statements of operations and as an operating activity on the statements of cash flows. The effect of this reclassification increased property and equipment and deferred rent and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets by $4.7 million as of January 29, 2005 and $3.3 million as of January 31, 2004, decreased selling, general and administrative expense and increased depreciation expense in the Company’s statements of operations by $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and increased net cash flows provided by operating activities and increased net cash flows used in investing activities in the Company’s statements of cash flows by $2.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.1 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Results of Operations

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

      The Company includes purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than cost of goods sold, in the statement of operations. For the fiscal years ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003 these purchasing, receiving and distribution costs amounted to $14.1 million, $13.1 million and $12.8 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 fiscal years ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003 these processing fees amounted to $12.0 million, $10.7 million and $10.7 million, respectively. As a result of these classifications, our gross margins are not comparable to those retailers that include purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in cost of sales and include processing fees associated with purchases made by check and credit cards in selling, general and administrative expenses. The net effect of the Company’s classifications is that its cost of sales as a percentage of sales is lower than, and its selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales are higher than, they would have been had the Company’s treatment conformed with those retailers that include purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in cost of sales and include processing fees associated with purchases made by check and credit cards in selling, general and administrative expenses, by 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.2% for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, respectively.

      Sales increased by $264.0 million, or 16.7%, from $1,578.8 million in fiscal 2003 to $1,842.8 million in fiscal 2004. The increase in sales was attributable to the $139.0 million in sales resulting from 338 new stores opened since January 31, 2004 and the $94.2 million in additional sales from having a full year of sales in fiscal 2004 from stores that opened in fiscal 2003, compared to a partial year in 2003. Comparable store sales increased a modest 1.7% as increases in video game software sales driven by strong new game releases were offset by declining hardware price points and hardware shortages caused by insufficient quantities manufactured by hardware vendors. Management does not expect these hardware shortages to continue throughout fiscal 2005. Stores are included in our comparable store sales base beginning in the thirteenth month of operation.

      Cost of sales increased by $186.3 million, or 16.3%, from $1,142.3 million in fiscal 2003 to $1,328.6 million in fiscal 2004. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 72.4% in fiscal 2003 to 72.1% in fiscal 2004. This decrease was primarily the result of the shift in sales mix from lower margin new video game

hardware to higher margin video game software and accessories and used video game hardware. The Company expects the cost of sales as a percentage of sales to increase in fiscal 2005 due to the anticipated launch of two new hardware platforms.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $75.3 million, or 24.9%, from $302.7 million in fiscal 2003 to $378.0 million in fiscal 2004. These increases were primarily attributable to the increase in the number of stores in operation, and the related increases in store, distribution, and corporate office operating expenses, the $2.8 million provision for the proposed California labor litigation settlement, the $2.8 million charge attributable to the professional fees related to the spin-off of our Class B common shares previously owned by Barnes & Noble and $5.1 million attributable to correcting our method of accounting for rent expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 19.2% in fiscal 2003 to 20.5% in fiscal 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the costs associated with the continued rollout of new stores and the effect these stores have on leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses and investments in our international infrastructure (a combined impact of 0.7% of sales), the provision for the proposed California labor litigation settlement (0.2% of sales), the charge attributable to the professional fees related to the spin-off of our Class B common shares (0.2% of sales) and correcting our method of accounting for rent expense (0.3% of sales). Management anticipates that the new method of accounting for rent expense will impact selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2005 by approximately $2.8 million.

      Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $29.5 million in fiscal 2003 to $37.0 million in fiscal 2004. This increase of $7.5 million was due to the capital expenditures for new stores and management information systems during the fiscal year. Depreciation and amortization expense will increase from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 due to continued capital expenditures for new stores and management information systems and due to the commencement of full operations in the Company’s new distribution facility.

      Interest income resulting from the investment of excess cash balances increased from $1.5 million in fiscal 2003 to $1.9 million in fiscal 2004 due to an increase in the level of investments and the average yield on the investments. Interest expense increased by $1.5 million, from $0.7 million in fiscal 2003 to $2.2 million in fiscal 2004. This increase in interest expense was due to the interest incurred on the note payable to Barnes & Noble in connection with the repurchase of the Company’s Class B common stock. Interest expense on this note payable is expected to be approximately $2.0 million in fiscal 2005.

      Income tax expense decreased by $3.7 million, from $41.7 million in fiscal 2003 to $38.0 million in fiscal 2004. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 39.7% in fiscal 2003 to 38.4% in fiscal 2004 due to corporate restructuring. The effective tax rate resulting from the corporate restructuring is expected to recur. See Note 12 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Company for additional information regarding income taxes.

      The factors described above led to a decrease in operating earnings of $5.3 million, from $104.4 million in fiscal 2003 to $99.1 million in fiscal 2004 and a decrease in net earnings of $2.6 million, or 4.0%, from $63.5 million in fiscal 2003 to $60.9 million in fiscal 2004.

      Sales increased by $226.0 million, or 16.7%, from $1,352.8 million in fiscal 2002 to $1,578.8 million in fiscal 2003. The increase in sales was attributable to the $126.3 million in sales resulting from 300 new stores opened since February 1, 2003 and the $78.1 million in additional sales from having a full year of sales in fiscal 2003 from stores that opened in fiscal 2002, compared to a partial year in 2002. Comparable store sales increased a modest 0.8% as declining video game hardware price points offset a significant increase in video game software sales. Stores are included in our comparable store sales base beginning in the thirteenth month of operation.

      Cost of sales increased by $132.8 million, or 13.2%, from $1,009.5 million in fiscal 2002 to $1,142.3 million in fiscal 2003. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 74.6% in fiscal 2002 to 72.4% in fiscal 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of the implementation of EITF 02-16 (see footnote 2 to the

Consolidated Financial Statements), requiring certain vendor allowances to be deducted from cost of sales, and the shift in sales mix from lower margin video game hardware to higher margin PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Xbox and GameCube video game software and used video game products. The implementation of EITF 02-16 led to a decrease in cost of sales of $21.6 million, or 1.4% of sales.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $69.6 million, or 29.9%, from $233.1 million in fiscal 2002 to $302.7 million in fiscal 2003. The 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. In addition, implementing EITF 02-16 caused an increase of $26.8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 17.3% in fiscal 2002 to 19.2% in fiscal 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the effect of implementing EITF 02-16.

      Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $23.2 million in fiscal 2002 to $29.5 million in fiscal 2003. This increase of $6.3 million was due to the capital expenditures for new stores, management information systems and distribution center enhancements during the fiscal year.

      Interest income resulting from the investment of excess cash balances decreased from $2.0 million in fiscal 2002 to $1.5 million in fiscal 2003 due to a decrease in the level of investments and the average yield on the investments. Interest expense decreased by $0.7 million, from $1.4 million in fiscal 2002 to $0.7 million in fiscal 2003. The decrease was attributable to the repayment of $250.0 million in debt in February 2002 using the proceeds of the Company’s February 2002 public offering and the contribution of the remaining $150.0 million in debt to paid-in-capital by Barnes & Noble.

      Income tax expense increased by $6.4 million, from $35.3 million in fiscal 2002 to $41.7 million in fiscal 2003. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 40.2% in fiscal 2002 to 39.7% in fiscal 2003 due primarily to tax-exempt interest income and state income tax credits, which are expected to recur. See Note 12 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Company for additional information regarding income taxes.

      The factors described above led to an increase in operating earnings of $17.3 million, or 19.9%, from $87.1 million in fiscal 2002 to $104.4 million in fiscal 2003 and an increase in net earnings of $11.1 million, or 21.2%, from $52.4 million in fiscal 2002 to $63.5 million in fiscal 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Subsequent to our acquisition by Barnes & Noble in October 1999, and prior to our initial public offering on February 12, 2002, our operations were funded by cash flows from operations and advances from Barnes & Noble. Those advances were treated as an intercompany loan owed to Barnes & Noble by us. As of February 2, 2002, we were indebted to Barnes & Noble in the amount of $399.6 million.

      On February 12, 2002, we registered and sold an aggregate of 20,763,888 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $18.00 per share. The aggregate price of the offering amount registered and sold was approximately $373.7 million. The net proceeds from the initial public offering were $347.3 million. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay $250.0 million of our indebtedness to Barnes & Noble. Upon closing the initial public offering, Barnes & Noble contributed the difference between the aggregate amount of the intercompany loans and $250.0 million as additional paid-in-capital. The amount of the capital contribution was $150.0 million. Of the balance of the proceeds (approximately $97.3 million), approximately $33.8 million was used for capital expenditures and the remainder was used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

      During fiscal 2004, cash provided by operations was $146.0 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $71.3 million in fiscal 2003. In fiscal 2004, cash provided by operations was primarily due to net income of $60.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $37.0 million, provisions for inventory reserves of $17.8 million, a decrease in prepaid taxes of $9.7 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $17.9 million, offset in part by an increase in merchandise inventory of $10.6 million. The increase in merchandise inventories was less than increases in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 because of video game

hardware shortages, which are expected to be temporary. In fiscal 2003, cash provided by operations was primarily due to net income of $63.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $29.5 million, provisions for inventory reserves of $12.9 million and an increase in accounts payable of $40.0 million, which were offset partially by an increase in merchandise inventories of $72.7 million. The increase in merchandise inventories in fiscal 2003 was due to the Company’s investment in merchandise inventories to support the overall growth of the Company and the anticipated store openings in early fiscal 2004.

      Cash used in investing activities was $99.2 million and $68.0 million during fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. During fiscal 2004, our capital expenditures included approximately $27.7 million to acquire and build-out a new corporate headquarters and distribution center facility in Grapevine, Texas. The remaining $70.6 million in capital expenditures was used to open new stores, remodel existing stores and invest in information systems. During fiscal 2003, we had capital expenditures of $64.5 million to open new stores, remodel existing stores and invest in distribution and information systems.

      Our future capital requirements will depend on the number of new stores we open and the timing of those openings within a given fiscal year. We opened 338 stores in fiscal 2004 and expect to open between 370 and 400 stores in fiscal 2005. Projected capital expenditures for fiscal 2005 are approximately $80 million, to be used primarily to fund new store openings, equip and improve the Company’s new headquarters and distribution center and invest in distribution and information systems.

      The projected capital expenditures for fiscal 2005 include approximately $6 million to complete the improvements to and equip the 420,000 square foot headquarters and distribution center facility in Grapevine, Texas which the Company acquired in March 2004. We expect that the total cost to purchase, improve and equip this facility will be approximately $34 million. The distribution systems in this facility are expected to be ready for testing in early fiscal 2005 and the facility is expected to be fully-operational in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, at which time all headquarters and remaining distribution functions will be relocated. Depreciation on certain leasehold improvements to the Company’s existing facility has been adjusted to reflect the shorter life of these assets, which will be abandoned after the relocation is complete.

      In June 2004, the Company amended and restated its $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which now expires in June 2009. The revolving credit facility is governed by an eligible inventory borrowing base agreement, defined as 55% of non-defective inventory, net of certain reserves. Loans incurred under the credit facility will be maintained from time to time, at the Company’s option, as: (1) Prime Rate loans which bear interest at the prime rate (defined in the credit facility as the higher of (a) the administrative agent’s announced prime rate, or (b) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds effective rate, each as in effect from time to time); or (2) LIBO Rate loans bearing interest at the LIBO Rate for the applicable interest period, in each case plus an applicable interest margin. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee, currently 0.375%, for any unused amounts of the revolving credit facility. Any borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by the assets of the Company. If availability under the revolving credit facility is less than $20.0 million, the revolving credit facility restricts our ability to pay dividends. There have been no borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

      In March 2003, the Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for the purchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s Class A common shares. The Company had the right to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. During the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2005, the Company repurchased 959,000 shares at an average share price of $15.64. During the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2004, the Company repurchased 2,304,000 shares at an average share price of $15.19. From the inception of this repurchase program through January 29, 2005, the Company repurchased 3,263,000 shares at an average share price of $15.32, totaling $50.0 million, and, as of January 29, 2005, had no amount remaining available for purchases under this repurchase program. The repurchased shares will be held in treasury.

      In October 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase of Class B common stock held by Barnes & Noble. The Company repurchased 6,107,000 shares of Class B common stock at a price equal to $18.26 per share for aggregate consideration of $111.5 million. The Company paid $37.5 million in cash and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $74.0 million. A payment of $37.5 million was made on

January 15, 2005, as defined in the promissory note, which also requires three payments of $12.2 million due on October 15, 2005, October 15, 2006 and October 15, 2007. The note is unsecured and bears interest at 5.5% per annum, payable when principal installments are due. The repurchased shares were immediately retired.

      Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances and cash generated from our operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations, required payments on our note payable, store expansion and remodeling activities and corporate capital expenditure programs for at least the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations

      The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of January 29, 2005:

      In addition to minimum rentals, the operating leases generally require the Company to pay all insurance, taxes and other maintenance costs and may provide for percentage rentals. Percentage rentals are based on sales performance in excess of specified minimums at various stores. Leases with step rent provisions, escalation clauses or other lease concessions are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including renewal options for those leases in which it is reasonably assured that the Company will exercise the renewal option. The Company does not have leases with capital improvement funding or leases with payments dependent upon indexes or rates.

      As of January 29, 2005, we had no other commercial commitments such as standby letters of credit, guarantees, or standby repurchase obligations outstanding.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

      As of January 29, 2005, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

Impact of Inflation

      We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our net sales or results of operations.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

      The Company operates departments within ten bookstores operated by Barnes & Noble. The Company pays a license fee to Barnes & Noble in amounts equal to 7.0% of the gross sales of such departments. Management deems the license fee to be reasonable and based upon terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arm’s length transaction. During the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, these charges amounted to $0.9 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

      The Company participates in Barnes & Noble’s worker’s compensation, property and general liability insurance programs. The costs incurred by Barnes & Noble under these programs are allocated to the Company based upon the Company’s total payroll expense, property and equipment, and insurance claim history. Management deems the allocation methodology to be reasonable. During the 52 weeks ended

January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, these allocated charges amounted to $2.7 million, $2.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company’s participation in Barnes & Noble’s insurance programs will expire in fiscal 2005 and the Company will secure new insurance coverage.

      In July 2003, the Company purchased an airplane from a company controlled by a member of the Board of Directors. The purchase price was $9.5 million and was negotiated through an independent third party following an independent appraisal.

      In October 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase of Class B common stock held by Barnes & Noble. The Company repurchased 6,107,000 shares of Class B common stock at a price equal to $18.26 per share for aggregate consideration of $111.5 million. The repurchase price per share was determined by using a discount of 3.5% on the last reported trade of the Company’s Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the time of the transaction. The Company paid $37.5 million in cash and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $74.0 million, which is payable in installments over the next three years and bears interest at 5.5% per annum, payable when principal installments are due. The Company made a principal payment of $37.5 million on the promissory note in January 2005. Interest expense on the promissory note for the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2005 totaled $1.3 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“FAS 123(R)”). This Statement requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of stock options and similar equity instruments issued to employees. Currently, companies are required to calculate the estimated fair value of these share-based payments and can elect to either include the estimated cost in earnings or disclose the pro forma effect in the footnotes to their financial statements. We have chosen to disclose the pro forma effect. The fair value concepts were not changed significantly in FAS 123(R), however, in adopting this Standard, companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions. The valuation model and amortization assumption we have used continue to be available, but we have not yet completed our assessment of the alternatives. FAS 123(R) will be effective for the Company beginning with the third quarter of 2005. Transition options allow companies to choose whether to adopt prospectively, restate results to the beginning of the year, or to restate prior periods with the amounts on a basis consistent with pro forma amounts that have been included in their footnotes. We have not yet concluded which transition option we will select. For the pro forma effect of a full year application, using our existing valuation and amortization assumptions, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 15 of this Report on Form 10-K/A.

Seasonality

      Our business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of sales and operating profit realized during the fourth quarter which includes the holiday selling season. Results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. Quarterly results may fluctuate materially depending upon, among other factors, the timing of new product introductions and new store openings, sales contributed by new stores, increases or decreases in comparable store sales, adverse weather conditions, shifts in the timing of certain holidays or promotions and changes in our merchandise mix.

Interest Rate Exposure

      We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. We limit our interest rate risks by investing our excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. We do not expect any material losses from our invested cash balances, and we believe that our interest rate exposure is modest.

Foreign Exchange Exposure

      We do not believe we have material foreign currency exposure, because only a very immaterial portion of our business is transacted in other than United States currency. The Company historically has not entered into hedging transactions with respect to its foreign currency, but may do so in the future.

      See Item 15(a)(1) and (2) of this Form 10-K/A.

      None.

      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). 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 effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

      (b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

      Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 29, 2005. Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005 has been audited by BDO Seidman, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

      March 22, 2005

      (c) Changes in Internal Controls 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 III

Directors

Committees of the Board

      The Board of Directors has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

      Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the principal function of, among other things, reviewing the adequacy of the Company’s internal system of accounting controls, the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent certified public accountants, conferring with the independent public accounting firm concerning the scope of their examination of the books and records of the Company, reviewing and approving related party transactions and considering other appropriate matters regarding the financial affairs of the Company. In addition, the Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of confidential and anonymous complaints regarding the Company’s accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters. The board of directors has adopted a written charter setting out the functions of the Audit Committee, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.gamestop.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it, in writing to the Company’s Secretary, GameStop Corp., 625 Westport Parkway, Grapevine, Texas 76051. As required by the charter, the Audit Committee will continue to review and reassess the adequacy of the charter annually and recommend any changes to the board of directors for approval. The current members of the Audit Committee are Stephanie M. Shern (Chair), Edward A. Volkwein and Gerald R. Szczepanski, all of whom are “independent” directors under the listing standards of the NYSE. In addition to meeting the independence standards of the NYSE, each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and meets the independence standards established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The board of directors has also determined that Mrs. Shern has the requisite attributes of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by

regulations promulgated by the SEC and that such attributes were acquired through relevant education and/or experience. The Audit Committee met ten times during fiscal 2004.

      Compensation Committee. The principal function of the Compensation Committee is to, among other things, make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to matters regarding the approval of employment agreements, management and consultant hiring and executive compensation. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for administering our Amended and Restated 2001 Incentive Plan and our Supplemental Compensation Plan (the “Supplemental Compensation Plan”). The current members of the Compensation Committee are Gerald R. Szczepanski (Chair) and Edward A. Volkwein, both of whom meet the independence standards of the NYSE.

      Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We were a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE until all of the outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock were distributed by Barnes & Noble to its stockholders on November 12, 2004. Subsequent to this distribution, our board of directors formed the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Leonard Riggio, Gerald R. Szczepanski and Edward A. Volkwein, all of whom meet the independence standards of the NYSE. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter setting out the functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a copy of which can be found on our website at www.gamestop.com.

Code of Ethics

      The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that is applicable to the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President-Finance and any Executive Vice President of the Company. This Code of Ethics is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company intends to disclose any amendment (other than any technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendment) to, or any waiver from, a provision of the Code of Ethics on the Company’s website at www.gamestop.com within five business days following such amendment or waiver.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

      Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of common stock of the Company with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms they file.

      To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no additional forms were required, all filing requirements applicable to the Company’s executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders were complied with.

Certifications

      For fiscal 2003, we filed with the NYSE the Annual CEO Certification regarding the Company’s compliance with the NYSE’s Corporate Governance listing standards as required by Section 303A-12(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. In addition, the Company has filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended January 29, 2005, the applicable certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, regarding the quality of the Company’s public disclosures.

Grants of Stock Options in Last Fiscal Year

      The following table shows all grants of options to acquire shares of our Class A Common Stock granted to the executive officers named in the summary compensation table in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement for the year ended January 29, 2005. The options for executive officers to acquire shares of our Class A Common Stock were granted on March 11, 2005, based on performance for the year ended January 29, 2005. The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at its date of grant. It is calculated assuming that the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated annual rates compounded annually for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised and sold on the last day of its term for the appreciated stock. These numbers are calculated based on the requirements of the SEC and do not reflect our estimate of future stock price growth.

Option/ SAR Grants In Last Fiscal Year

Fiscal Year End Option Value

      The following table provides information for the executive officers named in the summary compensation table in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement regarding exercises of options to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock during the year ended January 29, 2005 and our options held as of January 29, 2005 by any of our named executive officers. The values realized upon exercise in the table have been calculated using the stock price at the times of exercise. The year-end values in the table for our Class A Common Stock have been calculated based on the $18.80 per share closing price of our Class A

Common Stock on January 28, 2005 (the last trading date of the fiscal year), less the applicable exercise price.

      For information on our equity compensation plans, please see Item 5 of this Annual Report on 10-K/ A.

Employment Agreements

      GameStop has entered into employment agreements with R. Richard Fontaine and Daniel A. DeMatteo. The term of each employment agreement commenced on April 11, 2005 and continues for a period of three years thereafter, with automatic annual renewals thereafter unless either party gives notice of non-renewal at least six months prior to automatic renewal.

      Mr. Fontaine’s minimum annual salary during the term of his employment under the employment agreement shall be no less than $650,000. Mr. DeMatteo’s minimum annual salary during the term of his employment under the employment agreement shall be no less than $535,000. Annual bonus compensation will be based on the formula and targets established under and in accordance with GameStop’s Supplemental Compensation Plan.

      Each executive shall be entitled to all benefits afforded to key management personnel or as determined by the board of directors of GameStop, including, but not limited to, stock and stock option benefits, insurance programs, pension plans, vacation, sick leave, expense accounts and retirement benefits.

      Each executive’s employment may be terminated upon death, disability, by GameStop with or without cause or by the executive within twelve months of a good reason event. A good reason event is defined as a change of control, a reduction in compensation or a material reduction in benefits or responsibilities, or a relocation of at least 50 miles. Among other things, the employment agreement includes a severance arrangement if the executive is terminated by GameStop without cause or by the executive for good reason which provides each executive with his base salary through the term of the agreement, plus the average of the last three annual bonuses, with a one year minimum, plus the continuation of medical benefits for 18 months and the release of all stock option restrictions.

      Each executive is also restricted from competing with GameStop for the later of the expiration of the term of the agreement or one year after termination of employment, unless the contract is terminated by GameStop without cause or the executive for good reason.

Compensation of Directors

      Directors who are not employees of our Company will receive compensation of $30,000 per annum and $1,000 per in-person Board or Committee meeting. In June 2004, each of the directors who are not employees of our Company or Barnes & Noble (Stephanie M. Shern, Edward A. Volkwein, Gerald R. Szczepanski and Michael N. Rosen) were granted options to acquire 21,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock. Each of these options were granted at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Class A Common Stock on the grant date ($15.10) and each option vests in equal increments over a three-year period and expires ten years from the grant date. In addition, we reimburse our directors for expenses in connection with attendance at board and committee meetings. Other than with respect to reimbursement of expenses, directors who are our employees do not receive additional compensation for their services as directors

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

      In September 2002, our board of directors established a Compensation Committee, which currently consists of Gerald R. Szczepanski and Edward A. Volkwein. None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or Compensation Committee.

      The following table sets forth the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock and exercisable options to purchase such stock beneficially owned on May 1, 2005 by each director and each of the executive officers named in the summary compensation table in the “Executive Compensation” section, each holder of 5% or more of our Class A Common Stock or our Class B Common Stock and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Except as otherwise noted, the individual director or executive officer or his or her family members had sole voting and investment power with respect to the identified securities.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Agreements With Barnes & Noble

      In connection with the consummation of our initial public offering in February 2002, we entered into various agreements with Barnes & Noble relating to our relationship with Barnes & Noble following the completion of our initial public offering.

      We entered into a “separation agreement” with Barnes & Noble, which governs our respective rights and duties with respect to our initial public offering and the distribution to Barnes & Noble stockholders of its shares of our capital stock (which is referred to as the “spin-off”), and contains covenants designed to facilitate the spin-off and to protect its intended tax-free nature.

      Under the separation agreement, we agreed not to take certain actions without the approval of Barnes & Noble or the satisfaction of certain procedures. These actions include:

      We have generally agreed to indemnify Barnes & Noble and its affiliates against any and all tax-related losses incurred by Barnes & Noble in connection with any proposed tax assessment or tax controversy with respect to the spin-off to the extent caused by any breach by us of any of our representations, warranties or covenants made in the separation agreement. This indemnification does not apply if Barnes & Noble permits us to take certain actions or if we otherwise comply with the terms of the separation agreement.

      We entered into an “insurance agreement” with Barnes & Noble, pursuant to which Barnes & Noble allowed us to participate in Barnes & Noble’s worker’s compensation, property and general liability and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance programs. We shall reimburse Barnes & Noble for our pro rata share of the cost of providing these insurance programs. In fiscal 2004, Barnes & Noble charged us approximately $2,662,000 for our insurance program.

      The insurance agreement terminated in part on May 1, 2005 and will terminate in full on June 1, 2005, at which time we will procure our own insurance.

      We entered into an “operating agreement” with Barnes & Noble, pursuant to which we operate the existing video game departments in ten Barnes & Noble stores. We pay Barnes & Noble a licensing fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross sales of each such department. In fiscal 2004, Barnes & Noble charged us approximately $859,000 in connection with our operation of such departments in Barnes & Noble stores.

      The operating agreement will remain in force unless terminated:

      We entered into a “tax disaffiliation agreement” with Barnes & Noble which governs the allocation of federal, state, local and foreign tax liabilities and contains agreements with respect to other tax matters arising prior to and after the date of our initial public offering. The tax disaffiliation agreement became effective at the time of our initial public offering and, among other things, sets forth the procedures for amending returns filed prior to the date of our initial public offering, tax audits and contests and record retention. In general, we are responsible for filing and paying our separate taxes for periods after our initial public offering and Barnes & Noble is responsible for filing and paying its separate taxes for periods after our initial public offering. In general, with respect to consolidated or combined returns that include Barnes & Noble and us prior to our initial public offering, Barnes & Noble is responsible for filing and paying the related tax liabilities and will retain any related tax refunds.

      Under the tax disaffiliation agreement, without the prior written consent of Barnes & Noble, we may not amend any tax return for a period in which we were a member of Barnes & Noble’s consolidated tax group. Barnes & Noble has the sole right to represent the interests of its consolidated tax group, including us, in any tax audits, litigation or appeals that involve, directly or indirectly, periods prior to the time that we ceased to be a member of their consolidated tax group (the date of the offering), unless we are solely liable for the taxes at issue and any redetermination of taxes would not result in any additional tax liability or detriment to any member of Barnes & Noble’s consolidated tax group. In addition, we and Barnes & Noble have agreed to provide each other with the cooperation and information reasonably requested by the other in connection with the preparation or filing of any amendment to any tax return, the determination and payment of any amounts owed relating to periods prior to the date of the offering and in the conduct of any tax audits, litigation or appeals.

      We and Barnes & Noble have agreed to indemnify each other for tax or other liabilities resulting from the failure to pay any taxes required to be paid under the tax disaffiliation agreement, tax or other liabilities resulting from negligence in supplying inaccurate or incomplete information or the failure to cooperate with the preparation of any tax return or the conduct of any tax audits, litigation or appeals. The tax disaffiliation agreement requires us to retain records, documents and other information necessary for the audit of tax returns relating to periods prior to the date we ceased to be a member of Barnes & Noble’s consolidated tax group and to provide reasonable access to Barnes & Noble with respect to such records, documents and information.

Other Transactions and Relationships

      We have agreed to pay the legal fees and expenses of one of our directors, Leonard Riggio, in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 17, 2005, by and among GameStop Corp., GameStop, Inc., GSC Holdings Corp., Eagle Subsidiary LLC, Cowboy Subsidiary LLC and Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp., including Mr. Riggio’s legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of Mr. Riggio’s notification and report form under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) (including the filing fee) and in connection with the negotiation of the voting agreement entered into by Mr. Riggio and his affiliates. We estimate that the legal fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of Mr. Riggio’s notification and report form under the HSR Act and in connection with the negotiation of the voting agreement will be approximately $150,000.

      In October 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase of Class B Common Stock held by Barnes & Noble. The Company repurchased 6,107,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock at a price equal to $18.26 per share for aggregate consideration of $111.5 million. The repurchase price per share was determined by using a discount of 3.5% on the last reported trade of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the time of the transaction. The Company paid $37.5 million in cash and issued

a promissory note in the principal amount of $74.0 million, which is payable in installments over the next three years and bears interest at 5.5% per annum, payable when principal installments are due. The Company made a principal payment of $37.5 million on the promissory note in January 2005. Interest expense on the promissory note for the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2005 totaled $1.3 million.

      In July 2003, the Company purchased an airplane from a company controlled by a member of the Board of Directors. The purchase price was $9.5 million and was negotiated through an independent third party following an independent appraisal.

      Michael N. Rosen, our Secretary and one of our directors, is a partner of Bryan Cave LLP, which is counsel to us.

Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm

      The firm of BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO Seidman”) has been selected as the registered independent public accounting firm for the Company.

      Audit Fees. In fiscal 2004, the professional services of BDO Seidman totaled $575,907 for the Company’s audit of the annual financial statements, for reviews of the Company’s financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and for the audit of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Accordingly, as part of its policies and procedures, the Audit Committee considers and pre-approves any such audit and permissible non-audit services on a case-by-case basis.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

GameStop Corp.

Grapevine, Texas

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GameStop Corp. as of January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the 52 week periods ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003. We have also audited the schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2) of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GameStop Corp. at January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the 52 week periods ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

      Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth herein.

      We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of GameStop Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 30, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

GameStop Corp.

Grapevine, Texas

      We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9, that GameStop Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management of GameStop Corp. is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting of GameStop Corp. based on our audit.

      We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

      Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

      In our opinion, management’s assessment that GameStop Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. Also, in our opinion, GameStop Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

      We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of GameStop Corp. as of January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the 52 week periods ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003. We have also audited the schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2) for this Form  10-K. Our report dated March 30, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and schedule.
