THE FINISH LINE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Finish Line, Inc., along with its consolidated subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to as the Company), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, significant variability in sales, net income and merchandise inventory from reporting period to reporting period. Therefore, the results of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2012 (fiscal 2012), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 2, 2012. Reclassification Certain amounts in the thirteen week period ended May 28, 2011 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform them to the thirteen week period ended June 2, 2012 presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position. Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Companys present or future consolidated financial statements. Segment Information The Company is a premium retailer of athletic shoes, apparel and accessories for men, women and kids, throughout the United States, through three operating segments, brick and mortar stores, digital (which includes internet, mobile and tablet), and The Running Specialty Group (Running Specialty). Given the similar economic characteristics of both brick and mortar stores and digital, which include a similar nature of products sold, type of customer, and method of distribution, and Running Specialty being immaterial, the Companys operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment. The following table sets forth net sales of the Company by major category for each of the following periods (in thousands):
2. Running Specialty On August 31, 2011, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Running Company for a purchase price of $8.5 million which was funded through the Companys existing cash. As of the acquisition date, the Running Company operated 18 specialty running shops in Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Texas. The Company has allocated the purchase price based upon the tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities, which is tentative. Pro forma effects of the acquisition have not been presented, as their effects were not significant to the consolidated results of the Company. The allocation of the purchase price is detailed below (in thousands):
The Company determined the estimated fair values based on discounted cash flow analyses and estimates made by management. Goodwill from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. On March 29, 2012, GCPI SR LLC (GCPI) made a $10.0 million strategic investment in Running Specialty. The Company will remain majority owner with a 51% ownership. GCPI has the right to put and the Company has the right to call after March 4, 2017, under certain circumstances, the remaining 49% interest in Running Specialty at an agreed upon price approximating fair value. Also, as part of the transaction, GCPI issued to the Company a $4.0 million related-party promissory note which is collateralized with GCPIs interest in Running Specialty due March 31, 2021 or earlier depending on certain stipulated events in the control of GCPI. The promissory note calls for interest payments based in part on a fixed rate and in part on participation in the value of other investments held by GCPI. The balance of the promissory note is $4.0 million at June 2, 2012 and has been netted against the redeemable noncontrolling interest.
5
The redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of redemption value at the end of each reporting period or the historical cost basis of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, net of the $4.0 million promissory note and adjusted for cumulative earnings or loss allocations. The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid in capital. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at historical cost basis, net of the $4.0 million promissory note and adjusted for cumulative earnings or loss allocations as of June 2, 2012. 3. Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:
The Company has cash equivalents in short-term money market funds invested primarily in high-quality tax-exempt municipal instruments. The primary objective of our short-term investment activity is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations and we do not enter into short-term investments for trading or speculative purposes. The fair values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). Also included in Level 1 assets are mutual fund investments under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company estimates the fair value of these investments on a recurring basis using market prices that are readily available. As of June 2, 2012, the Company had no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities requiring measurement at fair value. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets for any of the periods presented. 4. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Companys common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to the Companys common shareholders assumes the issuance of additional shares of common stock by the Company upon exercise of all outstanding stock options and contingently issuable securities if the effect is dilutive, in accordance with the treasury stock method or two class method (whichever is more dilutive) discussed in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260-10, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260-10 requires the inclusion of restricted stock as participating securities, as they have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common shareholders. During periods of net income, participating securities are allocated a proportional share of net income attributable to the Companys common shareholders determined by dividing total weighted average participating securities by the sum of total weighted average common shares and participating securities (the two-class method). During periods of net loss, no effect is given to participating securities since they do not share in the losses of the Company. Participating securities have the effect of diluting both basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Companys common shareholders during periods of net income. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing earnings per share attributable to the Companys common shareholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):
5. Common Stock On July 21, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the 2011 stock repurchase program) to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Companys Class A common stock outstanding through December 31, 2014. The Company purchased 1,511,119 shares at an average price of $21.43 per share for an aggregate amount of $32.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012. The remaining shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program are 2,288,981 shares as of June 2, 2012. The Companys treasury shares may be issued upon the exercise of employee stock options, issuance of shares for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, issuance of restricted stock, or for other corporate purposes. Further purchases will occur from time to time as market conditions warrant and as the Company deems appropriate when judged against other alternative uses of cash.
6
On April 18, 2012, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share of the Companys Class A and Class B common shares. The Company declared dividends of $3.0 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012. The cash dividends of $3.0 million were paid on June 18, 2012 to shareholders of record on June 1, 2012 and was included as of June 2, 2012 in Other liabilities and accrued expenses on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. Further declarations of dividends remain at the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q may contain certain statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of statements that include phrases such as believe, expect, future, anticipate, intend, plan, foresee, may, should, will, estimates, potential, continue or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals also are forward-looking statements. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. The principal risk factors that could cause actual performance and future actions to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Companys reliance on a few key vendors for a majority of its merchandise purchases (including a significant portion from one key vendor);the availability and timely receipt of products; the ability to timely fulfill and ship products to customers; fluctuations in oil prices causing changes in gasoline and energy prices, resulting in changes in consumer spending as well as increases in utility, freight, and product costs; product demand and market acceptance risks; deterioration of macro-economic and business conditions; the inability to locate and obtain or retain acceptable lease terms for the Companys stores; the effect of competitive products and pricing; the availability of products; loss of key employees; execution of strategic growth initiatives (including actual and potential mergers and acquisitions and other components of our capital allocation strategy); and the other risks detailed in the Companys Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. General The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including Critical Accounting Policies, contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2012 (fiscal 2012). The following table sets forth store and square feet information of the Company by brand for each of the following periods:

The following table and subsequent discussion sets forth operating data of the Company as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below.
9
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 2, 2012 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 28, 2011 Net Sales
Net sales increased 6.5% for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011. The increase was attributable to a comparable store sales increase of 8.0% for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 resulting primarily from a 4.9% increase in average dollar per transaction and a 28.1% increase in digital sales. The increase in net sales also included $6.0 million of net sales from the Running Specialty stores for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012, which were acquired on August 31, 2011. These increases were offset partially by store closings since May 28, 2011 as well as a calendar shift which replaced the first week of March, historically a strong sales week, with the first week of June, historically a lower sales week due to the end of season sale. Comparable store footwear sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 increased 8.5% while comparable store softgoods sales increased 4.6%. Cost of Sales (Including Occupancy Costs) and Gross Profit
The 1.7% decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011 was primarily due to 1.0% decrease in product margin as a percentage of net sales and a 0.7% increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales. The 1.0% decrease in product margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the calendar shift of replacing the first week in March, historically a strong sales and margin week, with the first week in June, historically a lower sales and product margin week due to the end of season product sale. Also, digital sales, which typically have a lower overall product margin than stores, increased as a percentage of total net sales as compared to the prior period. The 0.7% increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales reflects more store openings, annual rent escalations as well as longer-term lease agreements entered into for some of our best performing stores. In addition, the Company received and recognized $1.1 million in landlord audit settlements during the prior period. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The $8.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011 was primarily due to the following: 1.) investments to support the Companys omni-channel strategy, 2.) 0.4% increase as a percentage of sales in marketing expenses to drive traffic to our website and our stores, and 3.) variable costs in fulfillment, freight and payroll in conjunction with the 28.1% increase in digital sales as well as the increase in store sales. Store Closing Costs
Store closing costs represent the non-cash write-off of any property and equipment upon a store closing.
10
Interest Income, Net
The decrease of $0.1 million was due to lower interest rates on invested balances during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011. Income Tax Expense
The increase in the effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011 relates to the Companys ability to record a tax benefit only on its share of the Running Specialty joint venture loss while 100% of the Running Specialty joint venture loss is included in income before income tax. Redeemable noncontrolling interest
Net losses attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest represents 49% of the loss before income tax generated by Running Specialty since March 29, 2012, which was the date of the investment by GCPI. Net income attributable to The Finish Line, Inc.
The $4.1 million decrease in net income attributable to The Finish Line, Inc. for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in product margin as a percentage of net sales, the increase in occupancy expense, along with the investments to support the Companys omni-channel strategy within selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by net sales improvement. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Companys primary source of working capital is cash-on-hand and cash flow from operations. The following table sets forth material balance sheet and liquidity measures of the Company (in thousands):
11
Operating Activities The Company had cash flows used in operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 of $4.6 million compared to $10.5 million used for the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily a result of the change in accounts payable for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011. Cash equivalents are invested in short-term money market funds invested primarily in high-quality tax-exempt municipal instruments with daily liquidity. Consolidated inventories increased 14.6% at June 2, 2012 compared to May 28, 2011, and were 7.4% higher than at March 3, 2012. Finish Line inventories increased 11.9% at June 2, 2012 compared to May 28, 2011 and increased 6.7% from March 3, 2012. The increase over the prior year is to support the positive comparable store sales. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 was $17.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily a result of an increase in capital expenditures of $13.6 million related to nine new stores, the remodeling of existing stores, digital investments and store technology and IT system investments. For the fiscal year ending March 2, 2013, the Company anticipates opening 25-30 new stores (9 were opened during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012), remodeling 35 to 40 existing stores (7 were remodeled during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012), and closing 10 to 20 stores (6 were closed during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012). In addition, the Company plans on projected capital expenditures of approximately $13-$15 million intended for store technology, which includes items like new POS software, tablets and handhelds for our stores, approximately $18-$20 million intended for IT infrastructure investments to support new supply chain and merchandise systems, and approximately $7-$8 million intended for technology to support growth in our digital business. The Company expects capital expenditures for the current fiscal year to approximate $80 to $90 million ($17.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012). The source of funds for these capital expenditures is expected to be the Companys cash and cash equivalents on-hand. Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012 was $23.1 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 28, 2011. The $25.5 million change was due to an additional $22.8 million of stock repurchases, $0.5 million increase in dividends paid, an $8.2 million decrease in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock in connection with employee stock programs, funding of a related-party note receivable for $4.0 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of redeemable noncontrolling interest of $10.0 million related to Running Specialty. On July 21, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the 2011 stock repurchase program) to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Companys Class A common stock outstanding through December 31, 2014. The Company purchased 1,511,119 shares at an average price of $21.43 per share for an aggregate amount of $32.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012. The remaining shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program are 2,288,981 shares as of June 2, 2012. The Companys treasury shares may be issued upon the exercise of employee stock options, issuance of shares for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, issuance of restricted stock, or for other corporate purposes. Further purchases will occur from time to time as market conditions warrant and as the Company deems appropriate when judged against other alternative uses of cash. On April 18, 2012, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share of the Companys Class A and Class B common shares. The Company declared dividends of $3.0 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012. The cash dividends of $3.0 million were paid on June 18, 2012 to shareholders of record on June 1, 2012 and was included as of June 2, 2012 in Other liabilities and accrued expenses on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. Further declarations of dividends remain at the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors. Recent Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position. Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Companys present or future consolidated financial statements. Contractual Obligations The Companys contractual obligations primarily consist of operating leases and purchase orders for merchandise inventory. For the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012, there were no significant changes to the Companys contractual obligations from those identified in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012, other than those which occur in the normal course of business (primarily changes in the Companys merchandise inventory related to purchase obligations, which fluctuate throughout the year as a result of the seasonal nature of the Companys operations, and changes to operating leases due to store openings and closings.) Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to adopt accounting policies related to estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, longlived assets and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
For a discussion of the Companys market risk associated with interest rates as of March 3, 2012, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in Item 7A of Part II of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012. For the thirteen weeks ended June 2, 2012, there has been no significant change in related market risk factors.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our 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 fiscal quarter to which this Report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
