Overview of Proposed Transaction Transaction Overview On March 6, 2008, Atari, Inc. (“Atari” or the “Company”) received a non-binding expression of intent from Infogrames Entertainment S.A. and its affiliates (“IESA” or the “Buyer”), which owns 51.6% of the outstanding shares of Atari, to acquire all the outstanding common stock of Atari not owned by IESA for a per share cash amount of $1.68 (the “Proposed Transaction”). On March 5, 2008, the closing price per share of the Atari common stock was $1.68. On March 11, 2008, Duff & Phelps, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) was engaged as financial advisor to provide an opinion to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Atari (the “Special Committee”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of the Company other than IESA (the “Public Shareholders”) of the consideration to be received by such holders in the Proposed Transaction. On behalf of the Special Committee, Duff & Phelps held meetings and discussions with Atari management and AlixPartners, the Company’s restructuring advisors, undertook initial evaluation of the Company and reached preliminary valuation findings. At the direction of the Special Committee, Duff & Phelps subsequently engaged in limited discussions with Lazard, Ltd. (“Lazard”), financial advisor to IESA, with regard to the per share cash consideration of $1.68 (“Per Share Cash Consideration”). On March 18, 2008, Lazard informed Duff & Phelps that IESA was not willing to increase the Per Share Cash Consideration. Lazard communicated on behalf of IESA that the per share price of the common stock had increased in the few days before the announcement of the Proposed Transaction and the Per Share Cash Consideration represented a premium to the share price five days and 30 days prior to the announcement. After reviewing the Per Share Cash Consideration with the Special Committee and Milbank Tweed Hadley McCloy LLP (“Milbank”), legal advisor to the Special Committee, and at the direction of the Special Committee, Milbank engaged in discussions with legal counsel of IESA to request clarification on the following: – IESA’s intention with respect to funding the Company’s operating losses and working capital needs through the completion of the Proposed Transaction; – IESA’s intention with respect to obtaining an extension on the forbearance agreement with BlueBay Asset Management plc (“BlueBay”); and – The minimum shareholder approval IESA is requiring to complete the Proposed Transaction. On April 11, 2008, Atari received the first draft of the merger agreement effecting the Proposed Transaction. On April 21, 2008, Atari received the first draft of the credit agreement providing financial support through closing. Between April 11 and April 24, Atari, IESA, BlueBay, the Committee and their respective counsel engaged in numerous discussions and draft revisions of the transaction documents.

Overview of Proposed Transaction Fairness Considerations In determining whether the Per Share Cash Consideration to be received by the Public Shareholders in the Proposed Transaction be fair, from a financial point of view, to the Public Shareholders, Duff & Phelps considered, among other factors: – The current, historical and projected financial performance of the Company based on a review of the Company’s well as our discussions with the Company’s management and their advisors; – The Per Share Cash Consideration relative to recent and historic trading prices of Atari common stock; – The adequacy of the premium implied by the Per Share Cash Consideration relative to the premiums paid in selected public-to-private transactions; and – Several valuation methodologies, including: Selected public company analysis Selected M&A transaction analysis (valuation multiples) Net asset value analysis Liquidation analysis The Company’s current cash and liquidity position and its prospects for obtaining additional cash infusions from persons other affiliates. – In connection with the negotiation of a merger, IESA and the Company are negotiating a credit agreement which will Atari’s liquidity constraints. A discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis was not utilized as management does not prepare projections past one year. S T R I C T L Y C O N F I D E N T I A L

Overview of Proposed Transaction Valuation Benchmarks Duff & Phelps considered several valuation approaches to establish valuation benchmarks against which to compare the Per Share Cash Consideration: Public Market Valuation – Duff & Phelps analyzed the closing price and trading volume of Atari common stock over the past 12 months. This analysis was used to determine the range of fair market value the market has ascribed to the common stock prior to and on the date of the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. Selected Public Company Analysis – Duff & Phelps reviewed valuation multiples of selected publicly traded companies and applied valuation multiples to Atari’s selected recent operating results. The Company’s negative EBITDA limited the relevance of the methodology to the application of enterprise value to revenue multiples for the selected companies. Selected M&A Transaction Analysis (Multiples Valuation) – Duff & Phelps reviewed valuation multiples of selected M&A transactions and applied valuation multiples to Atari’s selected recent operating results. The Company’s negative EBITDA limited the relevance of the methodology to the application of enterprise value to revenue multiples for the selected M&A transactions. Selected M&A Transaction Analysis (Premiums Paid) – Duff & Phelps reviewed the premiums paid in public to private transactions in which the majority shareholder purchased the remaining minority equity stake. Duff & Phelps compared the premiums over the 1-day, 5-day and 30-day trading price prior to the announcement of such transactions to the implied premium in the Proposed Transaction. Premiums paid analysis is relevant but limited by the Company’s dependence on IESA, the majority shareholder in the Company. Net Asset Value Analysis – Duff & Phelps reviewed the Company’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 and the Company’s preliminary internal balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 to determine the net asset value of Atari and added the fair market value of the Company’s intellectual property. In determining the fair market value of the intellectual property, Duff & Phelps relied, with independent verification thereof, on information provided by management, including third party appraisals. Liquidation Analysis – Since the Company is in violation of its weekly cash flow covenants on its Senior Secured Credit facility provided by BlueBay, Duff & Phelps also analyzed the potential recoveries by holders of Atari’s common stock in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Observations Regarding Atari Company Overview Founded in 1992 as GT Interactive Software Corporation and headquartered in New York, NY, the Company completed an initial public offering in 1996. In 1999, IESA, a French corporation listed on the Euronext, acquired beneficial ownership of a majority share of the outstanding common stock of the Company and subsequently renamed the Company Infogrames, Inc. In May 2003, the Company changed its name to Atari, Inc. and began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker “ATAR”. IESA currently owns 51.6% of Atari’s common stock. Atari engages in the publishing, development, and distribution of video game software primarily in North America. Atari distributes video games for various platforms, including Sony PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PSP, Nintendo Wii and DS, and Microsoft Xbox and Xbox 360, as well as for personal computers. The Company has obtained the right to use the “Atari” brand name under a license granted from Atari Interactive, Inc., an IESA subsidiary, that expires in 2013. Two other license agreements expire in the next five years: – The Dragon Ball Z license agreement, which is Atari’s largest title and represented approximately 28% of total net revenue in FY2007, expires in January 2010; – IESA distribution agreements represented 56% of total net revenue in FY2007. The agreements include the Old Distribution Agreement, enacted in 1999, which governs the distribution of Atari’s classic game library as well as a Short-Form Distribution Agreement, enacted in 2007, governing new releases. The Old Distribution Agreement would terminate if IESA reduced its holdings in Atari to below 25%. The Short-Form Distribution Agreement expires in December 2010; Until 2005, Atari was actively involved in developing video games and in financing development of video games by independent developers, which Atari would publish and distribute under licenses from the developers. Beginning in 2005, because of cash constraints, Atari substantially reduced its involvement in development of video games and announced plans to divest its internal development studios.

Observations Regarding Atari Company Overview (Continued) During fiscal years 2006 and 2007, Atari sold a number of intellectual properties and development facilities in order to obtain cash to fund operations. During 2007, Atari raised approximately $35.0 million through the sale of the rights to its Test Driver games and certain other intellectual property, and the sale of its Reflections and Shiny studios. By the end of 2007 Atari no longer owned any development studios. Atari also exited the software distribution business which further contributed to the Company’s decreasing revenue. The reduction of development activities significantly reduced the number of games that Atari published. Atari has projected FY2008 net revenue of $78.6 million after registering LTM net revenue as of December 31, 2007 of $91.8 million. During FY2007, net revenue from publishing activities were $104.0 million, compared with $153.6 million during FY2006 and $289.6 million during FY2005. Atari’s budget for fiscal year 2009 projects net revenue of $126.5 million and EBITDA of $2.0 million. – The budget is highly dependent on IESA’s release schedule and the success of each new title release. – The budget will require funding of as much as $18 million and the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing is uncertain. The Company is engaged in a multifaceted relationship with the Parent, which results in the majority of Atari’s product coming from IESA. Historically, Atari has also relied on IESA for funding which has come in the form of the sale of production studios and intellectual property to IESA as well as loan facilities from IESA’s largest shareholder, BlueBay.

Selected Public Company Analysis Publicly Traded Company Analysis – Methodology Duff & Phelps reviewed the current trading multiples of six publicly traded companies that Duff & Phelps determined to be relevant to its analysis. Duff & Phelps analyzed the LTM and projected revenues and EBITDA for each of the publicly-traded companies. Duff & Phelps then analyzed the peer group’s trading multiples of enterprise value (“EV”) to their respective LTM and projected revenues and EBITDA. EV is calculated as the sum of the equity market value (diluted shares outstanding multiplied by the current stock price) and net indebtedness. Duff & Phelps used the following methodology to select companies: – Primary and Secondary SIC Codes: 7372 (prepackaged software), 5045 (computers and computer Peripheral equipment and software) and 7822 (motion picture and video tape distribution). – Duff & Phelps reviewed various SEC documents and equity research reports for details regarding the nature of each selected company’s business and financial performance. – Duff & Phelps excluded those companies with a market capitalization equal to or in excess of $1 billion. Six companies were selected falling under two categories: – Small-Cap Video Game Developers, Publishers and Distributors (Majesco Entertainment Co. and Midway Games Inc.) – Packaged Media Distributors (Handleman Co., Image Entertainment Inc., Navarre Corp. and Source Interlink Companies, Inc.) None of the companies utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis is, of course, identical to Atari. Accordingly, a complete valuation analysis cannot be limited to a quantitative review of the selected companies and involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of Atari.

Duff & Phelps computed the LTM revenues and EBITDA for each of the target companies. Duff & Phelps then calculated the implied enterprise value for each transaction to the target’s respective LTM revenue and EBITDA and compared the multiples of the selected transactions to the multiples implied in the Proposed Transaction. Duff & Phelps restricted the search to include only transactions with enterprise values less than $500 million. Duff & Phelps used the following methodology in selecting relevant comparable transactions: – Primary and Secondary SIC Codes: 7372 (prepackaged software), 5045 (computers and computer Peripheral equipment and software) and 7822 (motion picture and video tape distribution). – Duff & Phelps reviewed the transaction histories of relevant comparable companies. – Because of a limited sample size, Duff & Phelps include transactions involving foreign targets as well as U.S. based targets. Duff & Phelps ultimately selected 8 precedent transactions falling under two categories: – Video Game Developers, Publishers and Distributors – Packaged Media Distributors None of the transactions utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis is, of course, identical to the Proposed Transaction.

Selected M&A Transaction Analysis (Premiums Paid) Summary Premiums Paid Analysis Duff & Phelps reviewed the premiums paid over market price for 26 public-to-private transactions announced from January 1, 2003 through April 22, 2008 in which the majority shareholder acquired the remaining outstanding minority shares in a U.S. publicly-traded company. In each case, the transaction involves at least 10% of the outstanding shares. Duff & Phelps also reviewed the transaction premiums paid over market price for 36 public-to-private transactions of a U.S. publicly-traded company announced from October 1, 2007 through April 22, 2008. These transactions involved an acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares or situations in which the acquiror held a minority and acquired the majority of the outstanding shares. In addition, Duff & Phelps analyzed premiums paid in situations in which the target business was deemed to be distressed (defined to be situations in which the target company had a negative EBITDA margin). Duff & Phelps compared the premiums over the 1-day, 5-day, and 30-day trading price prior to the announcement of such public-to-private transaction to the implied premium associated with the Proposed Transaction.

Selected M&A Transaction Analysis (Premiums Paid) Conclusion – Majority Shareholder Purchases Remaining Outstanding Shares In reviewing the 26 transactions in which the majority shareholder purchased the remaining outstanding shares of a publicly-traded subsidiary, Duff & Phelps observed the mean and median of the premiums paid over the 1-day, 5-day and 30-day trading price prior to announcement. 1-Day Premium 5-Day Premium 30-Day Premium Median 25.8% 23.7% 34.1% Mean 28.4% 29.1% 34.6% Standard Deviation 0.340 0.378 0.408 In reviewing the 11 distressed transactions in which the majority shareholder purchased the remaining outstanding shares of a publicly-traded subsidiary, Duff & Phelps observed the mean and median of the premiums paid over the 1-day, 5-day and 30-day trading price prior to announcement. 1-Day Premium 5-Day Premium 30-Day Premium Median 29.1% 25.9% 41.3% Mean 25.0% 26.7% 38.1% Standard Deviation 0.396 0.446 0.456 The Per Share Cash Consideration in the Proposed Transaction represents a 1-day, 5-day and 30-day premium of 0.0%, 6.3% and 58.5%, respectively. The relevance of the premiums paid analysis is limited by the Company’s dependence on IESA, the majority shareholder in the Company, for new release product.

VIII. Liquidation Analysis S T R I C T L Y C O N F I D E N T I A L

 



 

()
Liquidation Analysis Summary of Liquidation Analysis Duff & Phelps prepared a liquidation analysis assuming an orderly liquidation in which the Company would realize 70% of book value for accounts receivable, 50% book value for inventory and 70% book value for property, plant and equipment. To this amount, we added the book value of cash and marketable securities. Additionally, Atari owns certain intellectual property that is not reflected on the balance sheet. In a liquidation scenario, we assumed that the Company would realize 100% of the estimated fair market value of the IP. A 25% discount for bankruptcy costs was applied and the resulting value was discounted back one and one-half years to present value at a 20% discount rate to adjust for the time period required to complete the liquidation.

Applied the midpoint of the range of value ($17.0 million to $29.9 million) indicated. The rights to Test Drive were licensed to IESA for $5.0 million in November 2007, therefore, the estimated value of Test Drive ($10 million to $15 million) was subtracted. The license agreement is for a seven year term, therefore, it was assumed that no residual value related to the Test Drive IP exists. (2) Estimated liquidation / bankruptcy costs. (3) Discount factor of 20% over a 1.5 year period. S T R I C T L Y C O N F I D E N T I A L
