NOTE 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Hot Topic, Inc. is a mall-based specialty retailer operating the Hot Topic and Torrid store concepts. Hot Topic sells a selection of music/pop culture-licensed and music/pop culture-influenced apparel, accessories and gift items for young men and women principally between the ages of 12 and 22. In fiscal 2001 (the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002), we launched a second retail concept under the trade name Torrid. Torrid sells apparel, lingerie, shoes and accessories designed for various lifestyles for plus-size females between the ages of 15 and 29. At the end of the first quarter (April 30, 2005) of fiscal 2005 (the fiscal year ending January 28, 2006), we operated 607 Hot Topic stores in 50 states and Puerto Rico, and 87 Torrid stores. We also maintain two distinct websites, www.hottopic.com (“hottopic.com”) and www.torrid.com (“torrid.com”), which reflect the Hot Topic and Torrid store concepts and sell merchandise similar to that sold in the respective stores. We have one reportable segment given the similarities of the economic characteristics among the store formats. Throughout this report, the terms “our”, “we” and “us” refer to Hot Topic, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The information set forth in these financial statements is unaudited except for the January 29, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the 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 only of normal recurring entries, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 28, 2006.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year periods to conform to current period presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2005.

NOTE 2. Restatement of Prior Financial Information

In March 2005, we restated our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2004, which included our consolidated balance sheet at May 1, 2004, and our consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended May 1, 2004. The restatement also affected periods prior to fiscal 2004. The restatement corrected our historical accounting for operating leases. For information with respect to the restatement, See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2004. We did not amend our previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the restatement, therefore the financial statements and related financial information contained in such reports should no longer be relied upon. Throughout this Form 10-Q, all reference amounts for affected prior periods and prior period comparisons reflect the balances and amounts on a restated basis.
