SPORT CHALET, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information
and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented
have been included.

The financial data at March 31, 2001 is derived from audited financial
statements which are included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 2001, and should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

2. Earnings per Share

Earnings per share, basic, is computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Earnings per share,
diluted, is computed based on the weighted average number of common and
potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. A
reconciliation of the numerators and denominators is as follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
addressed in this Item 2 constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those
discussed below under the heading Factors That May Affect Future Results and
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Companys
management. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act)
provides certain safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements made on this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made
pursuant to the Act.

The following should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial
statements and related notes thereto provided under Item 1 above.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2001, Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 2000.Sales have increased from $53.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 to $54.6 million for the same period this
year, a 1.6% increase. The increase is the result of opening one new store in
July of last year and one in June of this year, partially offset by a
comparable store sales decrease of 1.8%. Comparable store sales are based upon
stores opened throughout both periods. Prior to the tragic events of September
11th and the subsequent aftermath, the Company was experiencing a comparable
store sales decrease of less than 1.0%. In the prior fiscal year, sales were
positively effected by the sales of scooters which did not occur to the same
extent this year and, if these sales were excluded from both periods, net sales
would have increased by 10.4% and comparable store sales would have increased
6.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2000. Management believes that sales have been and
could continue to be negatively affected by the declining economic climate.

Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased from 30.1% for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 to 28.7% for the same period this year due to
higher markdowns, as management ran an aggressive end of summer clearance
promotion designed to stimulate sales and reduce aged inventory in order to
make space available for the arrival of winter-related merchandise. The
promotion was ended shortly after the events of September 11th.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
decreased slightly from 24.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to
24.6% for the same period this year, as decreased litigation expenses were
partially offset by costs related to the Company expansion plans. Expenses in
the current period include (i) the successful implementation of the Companys
E3 inventory replenishment system, (ii) preparation for a store opening in
South Coast Plaza, a premier Southern California shopping destination, and the
opening of the Companys first out-of-state store located in Henderson, Nevada,
both planned to open in the fall of this year, and (iii) groundwork for a new
larger distribution center scheduled to open by March 2002.

The effective income tax rate was 39.9% for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to 40.3% for the same period this year, which
differs from the statutory rate as a result of permanent differences between
financial reporting and tax-basis income.

Net income decreased from $1.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $1.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted
share, for the same period this year, primarily as a result of increased
markdowns taken to stimulate sales.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2001, Compared to Six Months Ended
September 30, 2000.Sales have increased from $97.9 million for the six months
ended September 30, 2000 to $102.6 million for the same period this year, a
4.8% increase. The increase is the result of opening one new in July of last
year and one in June of this year combined with a comparable store sales
increase of 0.7%. Comparable store sales are based upon stores opened
throughout both periods. In the prior fiscal year, sales were positively
effected by the sales of scooters which did not occur to the same extent this
year and, if these sales were excluded from both periods, net sales would have
increased by 11.2% and comparable store sales would have increased 6.7% in the
six months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the six months ended
September 30, 2000. Management believes that sales have been and could
continue to be negatively affected by the declining economic climate.

Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased from 30.6% for the six months
ended September 30, 2000 to 29.9% for the same period this year due to higher
markdowns, as management ran an aggressive end of summer clearance promotion
designed to stimulate sales and reduce aged inventory in order to make space
available for the arrival of winter-related merchandise. The promotion was
ended shortly after the events of September 11th.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
increased from 25.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to 25.7% for
the same period this year, primarily due to lower than expected sales as well
as the Company expansion plans. Expenses in the current period include (i) the
successful implementation of the Companys E3 inventory replenishment system,
(ii) the opening of our Palmdale location in June 2001, (iii) preparation for a
store opening in South Coast Plaza, a premier Southern California shopping
destination, and the opening of the Companys first out-of-state store located
in Henderson, Nevada, both planned to open in the fall of this year, and (iv)
groundwork for a new larger distribution center scheduled to open by March

The effective income tax rate was 39.8% for the six months ended September
30, 2000, compared to 40.0% for the same period this year, which differs from
the statutory rate as a result of permanent differences between financial
reporting and tax-basis income.

Net income decreased from $3.2 million, or $.48 per diluted share, for the
six months ended September 30, 2000 to $2.6 million, or $.37 per diluted share,
for the same period this year, primarily as a result of increased markdowns
taken to stimulate sales and increased expenses related to the Companys
expansion plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companys primary capital requirements are for inventory and store
expansion, relocation and remodeling. Historically, cash from operations,
credit terms from vendors and bank borrowing have met the Companys liquidity
needs. Management believes that these sources will be sufficient to fund
currently anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.7 million for the six months
ended September 30, 2001 compared to net cash provided of $410,000 for the same
period last year. Net income provided cash of $2.6 million and $3.2 million
for the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Included
in net income was non-cash depreciation of $2.6 million and $2.0 million for
the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Accounts receivable increased by $528,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 2001 while the same period last year decreased by $1.6 million
from the elimination of amounts due to the Company from John Wells Golf Shops,
the former operator of the leased golf department within the Companys stores.
On April 1, 2000, the Company purchased the inventory and fixtures of the
leased golf departments from the lessee and is operating the golf departments
directly.

Inventories increased by $15.4 million and $15.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, compared to the
respective year-end balances primarily due to normal seasonal build-up.
Inventory at September 30, 2001 is $5.8 million greater than at the same time
last year as the end of summer clearance promotion designed to reduce aged
inventory was offset by (i) the opening of one new store since September 30,
2000; (ii) the pre-opening inventory build up for our new locations in South
Coast Plaza, CA and Henderson, NV, both scheduled for openings in November of
this year; and (iii) earlier arrival of winter-related merchandise as compared
to last year. Accounts payable increased by $10.9 million and $8.1 million for
the respective periods compared to the respective year-end balances due
primarily to inventory build-up and the timing of payments to vendors.

Salaries and wages payable decreased by $883,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 2001, compared to a decrease of $40,000 for the same period last
year, primarily as a result of the greater amount of incentive pay (relating to
the prior fiscal year) paid during the current period as compared to the prior
year.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September
30, 2001 was $5.1 million, primarily resulting from capital expenditures to
enhance merchandising presentation in the Companys older stores, capital
expenditures related to the Companys new larger distribution center scheduled
to open by March 2002, and the opening of one new store. Net cash used in
investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was $3.8
million, primarily due to payments made for the Companys point-of-sale system
and the opening of one new location in July 2000.

Net cash provided by financing activities has historically reflected
advances or pay down of the Companys revolving credit line. There were no
borrowings during either six-month period ended September 30, 2001 or 2000.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

The statements which are not historical facts contained in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q are forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and
uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to,
those set forth below.

Economic Conditions.The retail industry historically has been subject to
substantial cyclical variation, and a recession in the general economy or
uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that affect consumer spending
habits have had, and may in the future will have, a materially adverse effect
on the Companys results of operations.

Competition.The sporting goods business and the retail environment are
highly competitive, and the Company competes with national, regional and local
full-line sporting goods chains, specialty stores, supplier owned stores,
discount and department stores, and e-tailers. A number of the Companys
competitors are larger and have greater resources than the Company.

Regional Market Concentration.Currently, all of the Companys stores are
located in Southern California. Accordingly, the Company is subject to
regional risks, such as the economy, weather conditions, natural disasters and
government regulations. If the region were to suffer an economic downturn or
if other adverse events were to occur, there could be an adverse effect on the
Companys net sales and profitability and its ability to implement its planned
growth. Several of the Companys competitors operate stores across the United
States and, thus, are not as vulnerable as the Company to such regional risks.

Limited Expansion Locations.The real estate market for retail locations
in Southern California is limited and very competitive. The Companys growth
strategy contemplates locating suitable new store locations over the next
several fiscal years. Failure by the Company to locate suitable new store
locations would have a material adverse effect on the Companys implementation
of its growth strategy and sales volume.

Expansion Plan.The Companys continued growth is dependent to a
significant degree upon its ability to open new stores on a profitable basis.
The Companys ability to expand will depend, in part, on business conditions
and the availability of satisfactory store locations based on local competitive
conditions, site availability and cost, and the Companys ability to provide
and maintain high service levels and quality brand merchandising at competitive
prices. In addition, a decline in the Companys overall financial performance,
increased rents or any other adverse effects arising from the commercial real
estate market in the Companys markets may adversely effect the Companys
current growth plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will possess
sufficient funds to finance the expenditures related to its planned growth,
that new stores can be opened on a timely basis, that such new stores can be
operated on a profitable basis, or that such growth will be manageable.

##### Table of Contents



Future Capital Requirements.The Company may not be able to fund its
future growth or react to competitive pressures if it lacks sufficient funds.
The Companys large investment in its information technology has, and the
planned distribution center is expected to, put a strain on cash flow.
Currently, the Company feels it has sufficient cash available through its bank
credit facilities and cash from operations to fund existing operations for the
foreseeable future. The Company cannot be certain that additional financing
will be available in the future if necessary.

Management of Growth.Since its inception, the Company has experienced
periods of rapid growth. No assurance can be given that the Company will be
successful in maintaining or increasing its sales in the future. Any future
growth in sales will require additional working capital and may place a
significant strain on the Companys management, management information systems,
inventory management, distribution facilities and receivables management. Any
failure to timely enhance the Companys operating systems, or unexpected
difficulties in implementing such enhancements, could have a material adverse
effect on the Companys results of operations.

Dependence on Key Personnel.The Company depends on the continued service
of its senior management. The loss of the services of any key employee could
hurt the business. Also, the future success of the Company depends on its
ability to identify, attract, hire, train and motivate other highly skilled
personnel. Failure to do so may adversely affect future results.

Seasonality.The Companys business is seasonal in nature. As a result,
the Companys results of operations are likely to vary during its fiscal year.

Variability of Quarterly Results.The Company has experienced, and
expects to continue to experience, a substantial variation in its net sales and
operating results from quarter to quarter. The Company believes that the
factors which influence this variability of quarterly results include general
economic and industry conditions that affect consumer spending, changing
consumer demands, the timing of the Companys introduction of new products, the
level of consumer acceptance of each new product, the seasonality of the
markets in which the Company participates, the weather and actions of
competitors. Accordingly, a comparison of the Companys results of operations
from period to period is not necessarily meaningful, and the Companys results
of operations for any period are not necessarily indicative of future
performance.

Closely Controlled Stock.At September 30, 2001, Norbert Olberz, the
Companys founder, owned approximately 66% of the Companys outstanding common
stock. Mr. Olberz effectively has the ability to control the outcome on all
matters requiring stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, the
election and removal of directors, and any merger, consolidation or sale of all
or substantially all of the Companys assets, and to control the Companys
management and affairs.

Stock Price.The market price of the Companys common stock is likely to
be volatile and could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to
factors such as quarterly variations in operating results, operating results
which vary from the expectations of securities analyst and investors, changes
in financial estimates, changes in market valuations of competitors,
announcements by the Company or its competitors of a material nature, additions
or departures of key personnel, future sales of common stock and stock volume
fluctuations. Also, general political and economic conditions such as a
recession or interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect the market price
of the Companys stock.

Part II  Other Information




Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Kelly Silver v. Sport Chalet, Inc., Case No. 00CC08024, filed on July 7,
2000 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange.

This is a class action lawsuit brought by a former area manager, Kelly
Silver, against the Company. The complaint alleges a failure to pay overtime
wages to area managers, unfair business practices based upon the alleged
failure to pay overtime wages, fraud and deceit and negligent misrepresentation
based upon the failure to pay overtime wages, and conversion/theft of labor for
the alleged overtime hours.

The Company and plaintiffs reached a settlement of all claims for all
class members. The court approved the settlement and the Company has paid all
claims.




Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the annual meeting of stockholders on August 1, 2001, the two Class 3
Directors, Norbert Olberz and Kenneth Olsen were re-elected to the Companys
Board of Directors. There were 6,306,174 and 6,312,374 votes for and 91,005
and 84,805 votes withheld, respectively, for each of Mr. Olberz and Mr. Olsen.
The Companys Class 1 Directors, Eric S. Olberz and Frederick H. Schneider and
Class 2 Directors, John R. Attwood and Al D. McCready, continue to serve on
the Board. The terms of the Class 1, 2 and 3 Directors presently expire at the
annual meeting of stockholders in fiscal year 2003, 2004 and 2005,
respectively.




Item 5. Other Information.

Stockholder Proposals

The proxy materials for the 2001 annual meeting of the stockholders held
on August 1, 2001 were mailed to stockholders of the Company on June 22, 2001.
Under certain circumstances, stockholders are entitled to present proposals at
stockholders meetings. Any such proposal to be included in the proxy statement
for the Companys 2002 annual meeting of stockholders must be submitted by a
stockholder prior to February 21, 2002, in a form that complies with applicable
regulations. Recently, the SEC amended its rule governing a companys ability
to use discretionary proxy authority with respect to stockholder proposals,
which were not submitted by the stockholders in time to be included in the
proxy statement. As a result of the change, in the event a stockholder
proposal is not submitted to the Company prior to May 8, 2002, the proxies
solicited by the Board of Directors for the 2002 annual meeting of the
stockholders will confer authority on the holders of the proxy to vote the
shares in accordance with their best judgment and discretion if the proposal is
presented at the 2002 annual meeting of stockholders without any discussion of
the proposal in the proxy statement for such meeting.
