|EXPLANATORY NOTE
      This Amendment No. 1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (Form 10-Q/A) for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2004 is being filed in order to correct an error in the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements of Sport Chalet, Inc. (the Company) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on July 30, 2004 (the Original Filing). The corrections are to properly account for landlord construction allowances in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.13, Accounting for Leases and Financial
Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases; rent expense in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 85-3, Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases and amortization of leasehold improvements in accordance with paragraph 5(f) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.13 Accounting for Leases. See Note 2: Restatement and Reclassification of Financial Statements under Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q/A for additional discussion and a summary of the effect of these changes on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004 and for the interim periods ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.
    This Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I and Item 6 of Part II of the Original Filing to reflect the effects of this restatement of the financial statements for the period presented. The remaining items contained within this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A consist of all other Items originally contained on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004. These remaining Items are not amended hereby, but are included for the convenience of the reader. Except for the forgoing amended information, this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect events that occurred at a later date.

|SPORT CHALET, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(UNAUDITED)
1.             Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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, 2004 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, 2004, 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.             Restatement and Reclassification
of Financial Statements
On
February 7, 2005, the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC (the OCA) issued a letter
to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding lease accounting which identified
three issues:

| | 1. | Amortization of Leasehold Improvements  The OCA believes that leasehold improvements in an operating

lease should be amortized by the lessee over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term,

as defined in paragraph 5(f) of FASB Statement 13 (SFAS 13), Accounting for Leases,
  as
  amended. The OCA believes amortizing leasehold improvements over a term that includes assumption

of lease renewals is appropriate only when the renewals have been determined to be reasonably

assured, as that term is contemplated by SFAS 13.

| | 2. | Rent Holidays  The OCA believes that pursuant to the response in paragraph 2 of FASB Technical

Bulletin 85-3 (FTB 85-3), Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases,

rent holidays in an operating lease should be recognized by the lessee on a straight line basis
  over
  the lease term (including any rent holiday period) unless another systematic and rational
  allocation
  is more representative of the time pattern in which leased property is physically employed.                                                   
| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

| | 3. | Landlord/Tenant Incentives  The OCA believes that: (a) leasehold improvements made by a lessee
  that are funded by landlord incentives or allowances under an operating lease should be recorded
  by the lessee as leasehold improvement assets and amortized over a term consistent with the guidance
  in item 1 above; (b) the incentives should be recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions
  to lease expense over the lease term in accordance with paragraph 15 of SFAS 13

| | and the response to Question 2 of FASB Technical Bulletin 88-1 (FTB 88-1), Issues Relating
  to Accounting for Leases, and therefore, the OCA believes it is inappropriate to net the deferred
  rent against the leasehold improvements; and (c) a registrants statement of cash flows should
  reflect cash received from the lessor that is accounted for as a lease incentive within operating
  activities and the acquisition of leasehold improvements for cash within investing activities.

|Management
and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in consultation with Moss Adams
LLP and Ernst & Young LLP, determined that the Companys accounting for leases was not consistent
with the accounting principles described in the OCAs letter. Consistent with many other retailers,
the Company has corrected its error in accounting for leases as follows:
|                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

| | 1. | Generally the Company has amortized leasehold improvements over the shorter of the assets estimated
  useful lives or the initial lease terms, excluding any renewal options. This is consistent with the
  Companys utilization of initial lease terms in its calculation of straight line rent expense,
  however, in some situations the Company depreciated leasehold improvements over a 15-year period
  while the straight line rent expense in those same years was computed over the initial lease terms,
  which were less than 15 years. Therefore, to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting
  principles, the Company is correcting its calculation of its amortization of leasehold improvements
  to utilize the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the initial terms of the related leases.

| | 2. | The Company had historically recognized straight line rent expense for leases beginning on the earlier

of the store opening date or lease commencement date, which had the effect of excluding the build-out

period from the calculation of the period over which it expensed rent. The Company has determined

that it should have included the build-out period in its calculation of straight line rent expense

and has corrected its straight line rent accrual and deferred lease credits accordingly.

| | 3. | The Company has historically treated construction allowances from landlords as a reduction of fixed
  assets on its balance sheet and a reduction of depreciation expense on its statement of cash flows.
  The Company has corrected its accounting for tenant improvement allowances to reflect the recognition
  of rent expense on a straight line basis. Certain reclassifications have been reflected in the statement
  of cash flows to include tenant improvement allowances within operating activities and exclude them
  as a component of capital expenditures within investing activities. This restatement to previously
  issued consolidated financial statements does not have an effect on total net cash flows during any
  of the periods restated.

|3.             Earnings (loss) per Share
Earnings (loss) per share, basic, is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Earnings (loss) 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 is as follows:

|4.             Stock Compensation
The Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123
(SFAS No.148) amends SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to fair value based method of
accounting for employee stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and its effects on reporting. The Company
continues to apply the principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded in
conjunction with options issued to employees. Had compensation cost been determined based on the
fair value of the options at the grant date and amortized over the options vesting period,
consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income would have been:

|The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2004: expected volatility of 41%;
risk-free interest rate of 4.0%; expected lives from one to four years; and expected dividends of
0%. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options,
which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models
require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect
the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide
a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Restatement and Reclassification of Financial Statements
On
February 7, 2005, the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC (the OCA) issued a letter
to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding lease accounting which identified
three issues:
|                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

| | 1. | Amortization of Leasehold Improvements  The OCA believes that leasehold improvements in an operating

lease should be amortized by the lessee over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term,

as defined in paragraph 5(f) of FASB Statement 13 (SFAS 13), Accounting for Leases,
  as
  amended. The OCA believes amortizing leasehold improvements over a term that includes assumption

of lease renewals is appropriate only when the renewals have been determined to be reasonably

| | 2. | Rent Holidays  The OCA believes that pursuant to the response in paragraph 2 of FASB Technical

Bulletin 85-3 (FTB 85-3), Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases,

rent holidays in an operating lease should be recognized by the lessee on a straight line basis
  over
  the lease term (including any rent holiday period) unless another systematic and rational
  allocation
  is more representative of the time pattern in which leased property is physically employed.

| | 3. | Landlord/Tenant Incentives  The OCA believes that: (a) leasehold improvements made by a lessee
  that are funded by landlord incentives or allowances under an operating lease should be recorded
  by the lessee as leasehold improvement assets and amortized over a term consistent with the guidance
  in item 1 above; (b) the incentives should be recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions
  to lease expense over the lease term in accordance with paragraph 15 of SFAS 13 and the response
  to Question 2 of FASB Technical Bulletin 88-1 (FTB 88-1), Issues Relating to Accounting
  for Leases, and therefore, the OCA believes it is inappropriate to net the deferred rent against
  the leasehold improvements; and (c) a registrants statement of cash flows should reflect cash
  received from the lessor that is accounted for as a lease incentive within operating activities and
  the acquisition of leasehold improvements for cash within investing activities.

|Management
and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in consultation with Moss Adams
LLP and Ernst & Young LLP, determined that the Companys accounting for leases

|was not consistent with the accounting principles described in the OCAs letter. Similar to many
other retailers, the Company has corrected its error in accounting for leases as follows:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                                                                                                                                                                                          

| | 1. | Generally the Company has amortized leasehold improvements over the shorter of the assets estimated
  useful lives or the initial lease terms, excluding any renewal options. This is consistent with the
  Companys utilization of initial lease terms in its calculation of straight line rent expense,
  however, in some situations the Company depreciated leasehold improvements over a 15-year period
  while the straight line rent expense in those same years was computed over the initial lease terms,
  which were less than 15 years. Therefore, to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting
  principles, the Company is correcting its calculation of its amortization of leasehold improvements
  to utilize the shorter of the assets estimated useful lives or the initial terms of the related leases.

| | 2. | The Company had historically recognized straight line rent expense for leases beginning on the earlier

of the store opening date or lease commencement date, which had the effect of excluding the build-out

period from the calculation of the period over which it expensed rent. The Company has determined

that it should have included the build-out period in its calculation of straight line rent expense

and has corrected its straight line rent accrual and deferred lease credits accordingly.

| | 3. | The Company has historically treated construction allowances from landlords as a reduction of fixed
  assets on its balance sheet and the related amortization as a reduction of depreciation expense on
  its statement of cash flows. The Company has corrected its accounting for tenant improvement allowances
  to reflect the recognition of rent expense on a straight line basis. Certain reclassifications have
  been reflected in the statement of cash flows to include tenant improvement allowances within operating
  activities and exclude them as a component of capital expenditures within investing activities. This
  restatement to previously issued consolidated financial statements does not have an effect on total
  net cash flows during any of the periods restated.

|Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2003.  Sales increased $8.2 million, or 15.4%, from $53.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $61.5 million for the same period this year. The increase is the result of opening three new stores which contributed $5.0 million in sales, or 9.4%, as well as a same store sales increase of 6.1%. The same store sales increase is due to warmer weather which was more consistent with historical first quarter

|temperatures compared to the same period last year. The three new stores were opened in the third quarter
of fiscal 2004. Same store sales are based upon stores opened throughout both periods.
Gross
profit increased $2.8 million, or 18.9%, primarily from increased sales. As a percent of sales, gross
profit increased from 28.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 28.9% for the same period
this year. The increase in gross profit as a percent of sales is primarily due to reduced costs from
more efficient inbound logistics as well as continued improvements in inventory procurement.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million, or 10.5%, primarily from additional
stores. As a percent of sales, these expenses decreased from 29.7% for the three months ended June
30, 2003, to 28.4% for the same period this year. The decrease is primarily a result of the increase
in same store sales, labor savings and lower advertising expense attributable to a larger portion
of vendor reimbursement, partially offset by an increase in workers compensation expenses.
The
effective income tax rate was 39.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 42.7% for
the same period this year. These rates differ from the statutory rate of 39.8% primarily as a result
of permanent differences between financial reporting and tax-basis income.
Net income increased $689,000, from a loss of $552,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 to income of $137,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the same period this year,
primarily as a result of increased sales and improved gross profit combined with decreased selling,
general and administrative costs.
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 borrowings 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 provided by operating activities is primarily the result of net income, adjusted for depreciation
and amortization, and increases in accounts payable partially offset by inventory purchases. For
the three months ended June 30, 2004, $530,000 was generated by operating activities compared to
$4.5 million for the same period last year.
Inventories
increased by $10.3 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively,
compared to the respective year-end balances primarily due to the seasonal build-up of summer related
inventory. In addition, the Company opened three new stores in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.
The average inventory per store decreased by 2.1%, at June 30, 2004 as compared to June 30, 2003,
primarily from continued improvements in inventory procurement.
Bank overdraft represents the total of checks in transit in excess of cash on hand. Although there
is no bank overdraft at June 30, 2004, the overdraft is expected to continue and fluctuate due to
the timing of vendor payments in the future. Historically, accounts payable has increased as inventory
increases. In the three months ended June 30, 2004, accounts payable combined with the bank overdraft,
increased by $8.3 million as compared to an increase of $10.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2003. The relative change as compared to inventory levels is primarily the result of the
timing of inventory receipts during the period.

|Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.1 million compared
to $2.2 million for the same period ended June 30, 2003. In addition to routine capital spending,
the Company remodeled two stores during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2004, when the Company incurred additional expenditures for new stores scheduled
to open this fiscal year.
The Companys amended credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the Lender) provides
for advances up to $20 million, increasing to $35.0 million for the period October 1, through December
31, each year, less the amount of any outstanding draws, up to a $4.0 million maximum in authorized
letters of credit. Interest accrues at the Lenders prime rate plus 0.25% (4.50% at June 30,
2004) or can be fixed for a period of time at the then current rate established under one of several
indices, all at the Companys option. In addition, there is an unused commitment fee of 0.20%
per year, based on a weighted average formula. This credit facility expires on September 30, 2005,
and the Company expects to renegotiate and extend the term of this agreement or obtain another form
of financing before that date. The Companys obligation to the Lender is presently secured by
a first priority lien on substantially all of the Companys non-real estate assets, and the
Company is subject to several restrictive covenants. The principal operating covenants require the
Company to maintain certain minimum cash flow coverage and debt to equity ratios and restrict the
level of capital expenditures, calculated on a quarterly basis. The Company currently is in compliance
with the covenants. The Company believes its credit line with the Lender is sufficient to fund capital
expenditures for the foreseeable future and to meet seasonal fluctuations in cash flow requirements.
However, unexpected conditions could require the Company to request additional borrowing capacity
from the Lender or alter its expansion plans or operations. Due to improved inventory management
the Company did not borrow on this facility during the period ended June 30, 2004.
The Companys primary contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2004, are its store
leases with initial terms expiring from 2005 through 2020, which typically provide for multiple five-year
renewal options, and employment contracts:

|All retail store leases provide for base rent which may or may not be credited against
percentage rent based upon gross sales from the premises. In some of the leases, base rental amounts
increase as the lease term progresses although, in some cases, the Company expects that percentage
rent will more than offset the base rental amounts. Generally, our purchase obligations are cancelable
45 days prior to shipment from our vendors. Letters of credit amounting to $1,555,093 relating to
purchase commitments were outstanding as of March 31, 2004 and expire within one year.
No
cash dividends were declared on Common Stock in fiscal 2004. The Company intends to retain earnings
for use in the operation and expansion of its business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying
any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

|Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The Companys significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing the financial statements,
the Company is required to make estimates and judgments which affect the results of its operations
and the reported value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company believes that the following summarizes critical accounting policies which require significant
judgments and estimates in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Inventory Valuation.  Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out determined by the
retail method of accounting) or market. The Company considers cost to include direct cost of merchandise,
plus internal costs associated with merchandise procurement, storage and handling. The Company regularly
reviews aged and excess inventories to determine if the carrying value of such inventories exceeds
market value. A reserve is recorded to reduce the carrying value to market value as necessary. A
determination of market value requires estimates and judgment based on the Companys historical
markdown experience and anticipated markdowns based on future merchandising and advertising plans,
seasonal considerations, expected business trends and other factors.
Revenue Recognition.  Sales are recognized upon the purchase by customers at the Companys retail store locations,
less merchandise returned by customers. The Company provides a reserve for projected merchandise
returns based on historical experience. As the reserve for merchandise returns is based on estimates,
the actual returns could differ from the reserve, which could impact sales. Revenue from gift cards,
gift certificates and store merchandise credits is recognized at the time of redemption.
Self-insurance.   Property, general liability and workers compensation insurance coverage is self-insured
for various levels. Self-insurance accruals include claims filed, as well as estimates of claims
incurred but not yet reported based on historical trends. Projections of future loss are inherently
uncertain because of the random nature of insurance claim occurrences and could be significantly
affected if future occurrences and claims differ from historical trends.
Gift Card/Certificate Redemption.The Company offers its customers the option of purchasing gift cards and, in the past, gift certificates
which may be used toward the future purchase of the Companys product offerings. The gift cards
and certificates have no expiration dates. The Company records unredeemed gift cards or certificates
as a liability until the point of redemption. The Companys historical experience indicates
that not all issued gift cards or certificates get redeemed. Accordingly, the Company periodically
adjusts the carrying value of the related liability. Pending legislation could impact the method
in which the Company calculates carrying value in the future. The Company monitors redemptions rates
as a percent of issuances and uses this information to estimate probable redemption of all outstanding
gift cards or certificates. This calculation is based on historical experience, and future redemption
rates may vary if consumer purchasing practices change or if the pattern of redeeming gift cards
is significantly different than the Company has experienced with gift certificates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by comparing projected

|individual store discounted cash flow to the asset carrying values. Declines in projected store cash
flow could result in the impairment of assets.
Accounting for Income Taxes.  As part of the process of preparing the financial statements, income taxes are estimated for
each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating actual
current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment
of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities,
which are included within the balance sheet. The likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered
from future taxable income is assessed, recognizing that future taxable income may give rise to new
deferred tax assets. To the extent that future recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance would
be established. To the extent that a valuation allowance is established or increased, an expense
will be included within the tax provision in the income statement.
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred
tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets.
Based on the Companys history of operating earnings, no valuation allowance has been recorded
as of March 31, 2004. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, or these estimates
are adjusted in future periods, a valuation allowance may need to be established, which could impact
the Companys financial position and results of operations.
Provisions for income taxes for 2004, 2003 and 2002 are based on numerous factors that are subject
to audit by the Internal Revenue Service and the tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in
which the Company does business.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
The Companys short- and long-term success is subject to many factors that are beyond the Companys
control. Stockholders and prospective stockholders in the Company should consider carefully the following
risk factors, in addition to other information contained in this report. This Report on Form l0-Q
contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. The
Companys actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors including those set forth below.
Economic Conditions.  The retail industry historically has been subject to substantial cyclical variations. The merchandise
sold by the Company is generally a discretionary expense for its customers. A recession in the general
economy or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that affect consumer spending habits
has had, and may in the future have, a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
Terrorism/War.   Terrorist attacks may cause damage or disruption to the Companys employees, facilities,
information systems, vendors and customers, which could significantly impact net sales, costs and
expenses and financial condition. The potential for future terrorist attacks, the national and international
responses to terrorist attacks, and other acts of war or hostility may cause greater uncertainty
and cause the Company to suffer in ways that the Company currently cannot predict. The Companys
geographical focus in California and Nevada may make the Company more vulnerable to such uncertainties
than other comparable retailers who may not have similar geographical concentration.

|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 internet retailers. A number of the Companys
competitors are larger and have greater resources than the Company.
Regional Market Concentration.  Currently, most of the Companys stores are located in Southern California and the balance
are located in Northern California and the Las Vegas area of Nevada. Accordingly, the Company is
subject to regional risks, such as the economy, weather conditions, natural disasters and government
regulations. For example, warm winter weather in the resorts frequented by Southern California residents
has affected sales in the past. When the region suffers an economic downturn or when other adverse
events occur, historically there has been an adverse effect on the Companys net sales and profitability
and this could also affect the Companys 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.
Reliance on a Single Distribution Center.  The Company currently relies on a single distribution center in Ontario, California. Any natural
disaster or other serious disruption to this distribution center due to fire, earthquake or any other
cause could damage a significant portion of the Companys inventory and could materially impair
both the Companys ability to adequately stock its stores and the Companys net sales and
profitability.
Expansion Plan.   The Companys continued growth depends on a strategy of opening new, profitable stores
in existing markets and in new regional markets. The ability to successfully implement this growth
strategy could be negatively affected by any of the following:

|In addition, the Companys expansion in new and existing markets may present competitive, distribution
and merchandising challenges that differ from the current challenges. These potential new challenges
include competition among the Companys stores, added strain on the Companys distribution
center, additional information to be processed by the Companys information systems and diversion
of management attention from ongoing operations. The Company faces additional challenges in entering
new markets, including consumers lack of awareness of the Company, difficulties in hiring personnel
and problems due to the Companys unfamiliarity with local real estate markets and demographics.
New markets may also have different competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending
patterns than the Companys existing markets. To the extent that the Company is not able to
meet these new challenges, net sales could decrease and operating costs could increase. Furthermore,
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
affect 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.

|Future Capital Requirements.  The Company may not be able to fund its future growth or react to competitive pressures if it
lacks sufficient funds. Unexpected conditions could cause the Company to be in violation of its Lenders
operating covenants. 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, information systems, inventory management and distribution facilities.
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 sales volume increases significantly during the Holiday season as is typical
with other sporting goods retailers. In addition, the Companys product mix has historically
emphasized cold weather sporting goods increasing the seasonality of the Companys business.
In recent years the months of November, December and January represent between 30% and 34% of the
Companys total net sales, while winter-related products ranged from 15% to 19% of total net
sales. The operating results historically have been influenced by the amount and timing of snowfall
at the resorts frequented by those living in Southern California. An early snowfall often has influenced
sales because it generally extends the demand for winter apparel and equipment, while a late snowfall
may have the opposite effect. Suppliers in the ski and snowboard industry require the Company to
make commitments for purchases of apparel and equipment by April for fall delivery, and only limited
quantities of merchandise can be reordered during the fall. Consequently, the Company places its
orders in the spring anticipating snowfall in the winter. If the snowfall does not at least provide
an adequate base or occurs late in the season, or if sales do not meet projections, the Company may
be required to mark down its winter apparel and equipment.
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 June 7, 2004, Norbert Olberz, the Companys founder, Chairman Emeritus, director and
principal stockholder, owned approximately 65% 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.
Information Systems are Vulnerable.  The Companys success, in particular the Companys ability to successfully manage
inventory levels and its centralized distribution system, largely depends upon the efficient operation
of the Companys computer hardware and software systems. The Company uses information systems
to track inventory information at the store level, replenish inventory from the Companys warehouse,
and aggregate daily sales information among other things. These systems and the Companys operations
are vulnerable to damage or interruption from:

|The Company seeks to minimize these risks by the use of backup facilities and redundant systems. Nevertheless
any failure that causes an interruption in the Companys operations or a decrease in inventory
tracking could result in reduced net sales.
Our Business Depends on Anticipating Consumer Tastes.  If the Company fails to anticipate changes in consumer preferences, it may experience lower
net sales, higher inventory markdowns and lower margins. Products must appeal to a broad range of
consumers whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty. These preferences are also subject
to change. Sporting goods are often subject to short-lived trends, such as the short-lived popularity
of in-line scooters. Outdoor wear is significantly influenced by fashion. The Companys success
depends upon the ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to trends in sporting goods
merchandise and consumers participation in sports. Failure to identify and respond to these
changes may cause net sales to decline. In addition, because the Company generally makes commitments
to purchase products from vendors up to nine months in advance of the proposed delivery, misjudging
the market may over-stock unpopular products and force inventory markdowns that could have a negative
impact on profitability, or have insufficient inventory of a popular item that can be sold at full markup.
Stock Price.   The Companys Common Stock is thinly traded making it difficult to sell large amounts.
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 analysts 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
Common Stock.

|Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Companys exposure to interest rate risk consists primarily of borrowings under its credit
facility, which bears interest at floating rates. The impact on earnings or cash flow during the
next fiscal year from a change of 100 basis points in the interest rate would not be significant.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Companys Chief Executive Officer, Craig Levra, and Chief Financial Officer, Howard Kaminsky,
with the participation of the Companys management, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the period ended in this report
for the following reason: In May 2005, we announced that our financial statements were to be restated,
relating to certain lease accounting and leasehold amortization accounting practices, consistent
with similar adjustments made by many other retailers and other publicly traded companies concerning
these practices. Our conclusion to change our accounting policy and restate was made, among other
things, in consideration of the views of the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC expressed
in its letter related to these matters dated February 7, 2005. Accordingly, we concluded that our
controls over the selection of appropriate assumptions and factors affecting lease accounting practices
were not effective as of the period ended in this report.
In
May 2005, the Company remediated the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting
by correcting its method of accounting for construction allowances and recording of rent between
the date the Company takes possession and the commencement date of the lease. The Company implemented
controls in which all leases are reviewed and accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases and Financial Accounting Standards
Board Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases; and Financial
Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 85-3, Accounting for Operating Leases with
Scheduled Rent Increases.
Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving an entitys disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives
is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact
that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can
occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of
the established process.
There were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting, known to the
Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer that occurred during the most recent fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.

Stockholder Proposals
The proxy materials for the 2004 annual meeting of the stockholders to be held on August 2, 2004 were

Under certain circumstances, stockholders are entitled to present proposals at stockholder meetings.
The 2005 annual meeting of stockholders is presently expected to be held on or about August 1, 2005.

of stockholders must be received by the Secretary of the Company at the Companys office at
One Sport Chalet Drive, La Canada, California 91011 on or before February 21, 2005 in a form that
complies with applicable regulations. If the date of the 2005 annual meeting is advanced or delayed
more than 30 days from the date of the 2004 annual meeting, stockholder proposals intended to be
included in the proxy statement for the 2005 annual meeting must be received by the Company within
a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail the proxy statement for the 2005 annual
meeting. Upon any determination that the date of the 2005 annual meeting will be advanced or delayed
by more than 30 days from the date of the 2004 annual meeting, the Company will disclose the change
in the earliest practicable Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In the event a stockholder proposal is not submitted to the Company on or before May 6, 2005, the proxies
solicited by the Board of Directors for the 2005 annual meeting of the stockholders will confer authority
on the holders of the proxy to vote the shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board
of Directors if the proposal is presented at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders without any
discussion of the proposal in the proxy statement for such meeting.
