Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The information in this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of The Sports Authority, Inc.

On August 25, 2003, The Sports Authority, Inc. (formerly known as Gart Sports Company) issued a news release regarding its financial results for its second fiscal quarter of 2003 ended August 2, 2003. On August 4, 2003, The Sports Authority, Inc. completed a merger with TSA Stores, Inc. (formerly known as The Sports Authority, Inc.). The news release presents information with respect to the company formerly known as Gart Sports Company and does not present information with respect to TSA Stores, Inc. The news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
To supplement our condensed consolidated statements of operations presented on a GAAP basis, we use additional non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per share adjusted to exclude merger integration costs and other certain non-recurring costs and income we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
