10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. The purpose of this amendment is 
to correct certain typographical errors that appeared in the Form 10-K with     
respect to the one-for-five reverse stock split of the Company's common stock,  
which was effected on June 26, 2000.                                            

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE 

     Certain information contained in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting
of Infogrames, Inc. (formerly GT Interactive Software Corp.), a Delaware        
corporation, scheduled to be held on July 25, 2000 is incorporated by reference 
into Part III hereof.                                                           

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION 

When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the words "intends,"    
"expects," "plans," "estimates," "projects," "believes," "anticipates" and      
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Except 
for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed and the      
statements made herein concerning the Company's future prospects are            
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities

give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.

PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS                                                               

OVERVIEW

Infogrames, Inc. (formerly GT Interactive Software Corp.), a Delaware 
corporation (the "Company"), is a leading worldwide developer, publisher and    
distributor of interactive entertainment software for use on PCs, the Sony      
PlayStation and Nintendo 64 platforms. The Company also is currently developing 
software for new platforms such as Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Gameboy Advance and 
Sony PlayStation 2. During calendar year 1999, the Company had the fifth highest
U.S. market share in number of units sold in the PC software game category. The 
Company is also a leader in certain sub-segments of the "edutainment" software  
market, including the fast growing children's education and leisure             
entertainment segments. According to PC Data, in 1999, the Company's Humongous  
studio ranked as the number three publisher in the U.S. market for PC education 
software on the basis of units sold.                                            

     In May 2000, in connection with the acquisition by Infogrames Entertainment
SA ("Infogrames SA") of a majority stake in the Company, the Company changed its
name from GT Interactive Software Corp. to Infogrames, Inc. and announced that  
all of its products will be marketed under the Infogrames brand. The Company    
believes that the Infogrames brand is well respected in the interactive         
entertainment software industry and that this new branding strategy will        
strengthen the Company's image with customers and the industry as a whole.      

   On June 26, 2000, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse stock split
of the Company's Common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") to
meet certain requirements of the Nasdaq National Market. See "Risk              
Factors -- Our Common Stock Does Not Currently Meet the Nasdaq National Market's
Minimum Share Price Requirement and May Be Subject to Delisting." Except as     
otherwise noted, references to share prices and the number of shares of Common  
Stock in this Annual Report do not reflect the reverse stock split.             

The Company has two reportable segments: publishing and distribution. 
Publishing relates to the development (both internally and externally) and sale 
of interactive entertainment software for the children's education, leisure     
entertainment and gaming enthusiast's markets. Distribution relates to the sale 
by the Company of its own and third-party published software to various mass    
merchants and other retailers. For additional information with respect to the   
Company's business segment reporting, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and  
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 19 to the   
Consolidated Financial Statements.                                              

    The Company's publishing business consists of three divisions: Children's,
Leisure and Frontline. The Company's Children's Division develops and publishes 
children's educational and entertainment software for the personal computer. The
Company's Leisure Division develops and publishes lower-priced PC entertainment,
reference and productivity titles for mass market consumption. The Company's    
Frontline Division develops, internally and through third-party developers, and 
publishes cutting edge new release entertainment software for the gaming        
enthusiast for use on multiple hardware platforms.                              

 The Company distributes both its own and third-party published software
through an established distribution network. The Company believes that it is one
of the few software publishers that sells its products directly to substantially
all of the major retailers of computer software in the U.S. The Company's       
distribution division also compiles, repackages and markets older titles to     
retailers, extending the economic life of those products. The Company believes  
it is the largest distributor of consumer software to mass merchants in the U.S.
The Company supplies consumer software (including its own and third-party       
published software) to approximately 2,470 Wal-Mart stores, approximately 2,096 
Kmart stores and approximately 921 Target stores. The Company also distributes  
consumer software to other major retailers including Office Depot, Best Buy,    
CompUSA, AAFES, Sam's Club and Babbage's.                                       

     During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the Company made a significant
effort to reorganize and refocus its distribution and value/leisure lines. In   
July 1999, the Company began outsourcing its warehouse

operations in the U.S. to Arnold Logistics ("Arnold Logistics"). The warehouse  
operations include the receipt and storage of inventory as well as the          
distribution of inventory to mass market and other retailing customers. This    
allows the Company to reduce distribution costs and to streamline operations to 
focus on producing more hit titles. Through this refocus, the Company decided to
reduce its involvement in distribution of third-party product and the value and 
leisure lines of business. This has led to charges of approximately $58.0       
million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. See "Item 7. Management's  
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."      

  In connection with its restructuring and reorganization, the Company has
decided to concentrate its efforts in North America. Effective December 31,     
1999, the Company began the process of closing its European operations. Because 
of Infogrames SA's strong European presence, the Company has entered into an    
agreement with Infogrames SA to provide distribution of the Company's products  
in Europe. The Company believes that full-time operations in Europe are no      
longer necessary or efficient and that it will be able to access European       
markets through the strong distribution channels of Infogrames SA while         
concentrating its resources in other strategic areas. As of March 31, 2000, the 
Company has expensed approximately $37.0 million in charges related to this     
strategic plan.                                                                 

PUBLISHING

    The Company's publishing business consists of three divisions: Children's,
Leisure and Frontline. The Company's Frontline and Children's Divisions publish 
premium-priced, higher production value titles for use on multiple platforms    
that are developed internally or through third-party developers and marketed    
both domestically and internationally. The Company's Leisure segment publishes  
value-priced PC titles for mass market consumption.                             

CHILDREN'S PUBLISHING                                                           

Humongous Entertainment, Inc. ("Humongous") is a leading developer and
publisher of interactive children's edutainment software. Humongous was acquired
by the Company in July 1996 and has been the primary vehicle through which the  
Company has penetrated the children's edutainment market. Through internally    
generated hit titles such as Freddi Fish, Putt Putt and Pajama Sam, and through 
licensed products like Nickelodeon's Blue's Clues, Humongous has risen to become
the third-largest participant in the educational software market category,      
capturing 7.2% of total dollar market sales in the U.S. for 1999. According to  
PC Data, Humongous published the best-selling (Blue's Clues ABC Time            
Activities), third best-selling (Blue's Clues Birthday Adventure) and sixth     
best-selling (Blue's 123 Time Activities) entertainment titles of 1999. Other   
titles released by Humongous include Putt Putt(R) Enters the Race(TM), Putt     
Putt(R) Travels through Time(TM), Backyard Soccer(TM), Backyard Baseball(TM),   
Freddi Fish 4: The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch(TM) and Pajama   
Sam 2: Thunder and Lightning Aren't So Frightening(TM).                         

LEISURE PUBLISHING                                                              

   The Leisure Division was established in June 1996 with the acquisition of
WizardWorks Group, Inc. ("WizardWorks"). Since that time, the Company has become
a leading publisher of value-priced leisure and recreational software.          

 The Company's Leisure Division publishes and distributes titles through
three labels:                                                                   

     WizardWorks.  In the fall of 1997, the Leisure Division virtually created a
brand new market when it introduced Deer Hunter for PC, under the WizardWorks   
label. In approximately four months, this interactive hunting simulation game   
rose to the top of the PC Data charts to become the best-selling PC game in the 
U.S. for the first six months of 1998. The Company believes that the success of 
Deer Hunter reflected a growing consumer trend in which the interest of those   
who typically do not play computer games is sparked by a combination of         
compelling software themes, the availability of PCs for under $1,000 and value  
software's sub-$20 retail price. WizardWorks has since expanded the interactive 
outdoor sporting market with a number of titles, including Deer Hunter II, Deer 
Hunter II Extended Season, Deer Hunter's Extended Season, Deer

Hunter Companion, Sporting Clays, Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter, Rocky Mountain  
Trophy Hunter II, Pro Bass Fishing, Deep Sea Trophy Fishing, Bird Hunter        
Waterfowl Edition, Grand Slam Turkey Hunt, Alaskan Expedition, Bird Hunter      
Upland Edition and African Safari Trophy Hunter 3D.                             

The Company's hunting software games for PC, published under the      
WizardWorks brand, comprise more than 38% of the market share in units and      
dollars for all hunting software games. Additionally, of the top 10 1999 hunting
PC games in units, 44% came from this label. The Company has shipped            
approximately one million units of its hit title Deer Hunter and approximately  
800,000 units of the sequel, Deer Hunter II.                                    

In fiscal year 1999, the Company also published other titles under the
WizardWorks brand such as Montezuma's Return, Real Pool, Rudolf the Red-Nosed   
Reindeer's Magical Sleigh Ride, Baseball Mogul and Carnivores, along with a     
number of other titles targeted for the casual computer user.                   

     CompuWorks.  Under the CompuWorks brand the Company offers productivity and
small office/home office software products. The Company has published such      
recent CompuWorks titles as Joy of Cooking, America's Greatest Chili Cookbook,  
National Golf Course Directory, Feng Shui, Holiday Card Creator '98, Yes 2K and 
Learn Office 2000.                                                              

   MacSoft.  The Company believes its MacSoft label is the leading Macintosh
games software publisher in the U.S. MacSoft publishes frontline PC Games for   
the Macintosh market, including Company-developed games, as well as third-party 
games under license to the Company. Recent successful titles published by       
MacSoft include Unreal, Civilization II: Gold Edition, Falcon 4.0, America's    
Greatest Solitaire Games, Deer Hunter, Real Pool, Civilization II and Quake.    
Other recent titles published by MacSoft include Lode Runner 2, Rocky Mountain  
Trophy Hunter, Dark Vengeance, Klingon Honor Guard and America's Greatest Arcade
Hits 3D. MacSoft also publishes productivity titles including MacPublisher and  
Desktop Labels Pro.                                                             

FRONTLINE PUBLISHING                                                            

 The Company's Frontline Division is responsible for the development and
publishing of cutting-edge, new release entertainment for the gaming enthusiast.
This division has been the source of some of the industry's most successful     
titles including Duke Nukem, Oddworld and Total Annihilation. Frontline releases
are largely responsible for the Company's fifth-place market share position in  
PC Data's 1999 rankings for the PC games category. The Company has successfully 
exploited Frontline's strengths in cutting edge PC entertainment software to    
gain entry into the high growth videogame console platform market. In fiscal    
year 2000, approximately 61% of the division's revenues were generated from     
sales of PlayStation, Nintendo and other console software.                      

The Frontline Division publishes entertainment software developed by a
variety of internal and third-party studios. Approximately 54% of Frontline's   
revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 were generated from products  
developed by the Company's internally owned studios.                            

The Company has initiated efforts to reduce the number of new releases
published annually by the Frontline Division. This more selective approach to   
new releases is expected to result in lower research and development costs,     
increased efficiency, greater focus and more control over production schedules. 
In support of this effort, the Company has closed three internal studios and is 
currently reducing the size of another. A summary description of each of        
Frontline's continuing internal studios is set forth below.                     

Internal Development Studios                                                

     SingleTrac.  In October 1997, the Company acquired SingleTrac Entertainment
Technologies, Inc. ("SingleTrac"), the developer of hit PlayStation titles      
including JetMoto I and II, Twisted Metal I and II and WarHawk. Since it was    
acquired by the Company, SingleTrac has produced Rogue Trip and Streak.         

 Reflections.  The Company acquired Newcastle, England-based Reflections
Interactive Limited ("Reflections") in December 1998. Reflections was the       
developer of PlayStation hits Destruction Derby and

Destruction Derby II. In fiscal year 2000, the Company shipped approximately 2.9
million units of Driver, Reflections' newest title. Additionally, the Company   
has announced sequels of Driver, scheduled to be released in fiscal year 2001.  

Oddworld Inhabitants.  In November 1996, the Company invested in      
convertible preferred stock of Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc. ("Oddworld"), which is
convertible into 50% of the common equity of Oddworld. The Company also entered 
into an exclusive worldwide publishing agreement with Oddworld. Since that time,
Oddworld has developed and shipped the first two successful installments of its 
Oddworld series: Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus. Each title has sold more than 
one million units worldwide.                                                    

  Legend Entertainment.  The Company acquired Legend Entertainment Company
("Legend") in December 1998. Legend is currently developing a number of titles  
for the Company, including Unreal 2, Unreal Mission Pack I and Wheel of Time.   
During fiscal year 2000, the Company released Unreal Tournament, which sold     
approximately 600,000 units.                                                    

External Product Development                                                

Since its inception, the Company has established publishing and       
distribution relationships with various independent developers. For the fiscal  
year ended March 31, 2000, approximately 46% of the Company's Frontline         
publishing revenues were derived from products developed by independent,        
third-party developers. For example, the Duke Nukem franchise created by 3D     
Realms has generated for the Company gross unit sales, including add-ons and    
sequels, to date in excess of three million units worldwide. From May 1998      
through March 2000, the Company shipped more than 800,000 units of Unreal, an   
action title created by Epic Games, another third-party developer.              

   Acquired titles are marketed under the Company's name as well as the name
of the original developer. The agreements with third-party developers provide   
the Company with exclusive publishing and distribution rights for a specific    
period of time for specified platforms and territories. Those agreements may    
grant to the Company the right to publish sequels, enhancements and add-ons to  
the product originally being developed and produced by the developer. In        
consideration for its services, the developer receives a royalty based on sales 
of the product that it has developed. A portion of this royalty may be prepaid, 
with payments tied to the completion of detailed performance milestones.        

The Company manages the production of external development projects by
appointing a producer to oversee the product's development and to work with the 
third-party developer to design, develop and test the software. This producer   
also helps ensure that performance milestones are met in a timely manner. The   
Company generally has the right to cease making payments to an independent      
developer if such developer fails to complete its performance milestones in a   
timely fashion.

DISTRIBUTION

 The Company's strength in distribution in North America, as well as its
distribution presence in Europe through Infogrames SA, ensures access to        
valuable shelf space for its published products. The Company believes that it is
one of the few software publishers that sells directly to substantially all of  
the major retailers of computer software in the U.S. and that it is the largest 
distributor of computer software to mass merchants in the U.S. The Company      
supplies consumer software (including its own and third-party published         
software) to approximately 2,470 Wal-Mart stores, approximately 2,096 Kmart     
stores and approximately 921 Target stores.                                     

The Company also distributes consumer software (including its own and 
third-party published software) to other major retailers including Office Depot,
Best Buy, CompUSA, AAFES, Sam's Club and Babbage's. The Company values its      
distribution relationships with these major retailers because they also allow   
the Company to more readily sell its own, higher margin software to them.       

Technology.  Utilizing its point-of-sale replenishment systems and    
electronic data interchange links with its largest mass merchant accounts, the  
Company is able to handle high sales volumes to those customers efficiently,    
manage and replenish inventory on a store-by-store basis and assemble for its   
customers regional and store-by-store data based on product sell-through. The   
Company utilizes proprietary technology systems for order processing, inventory 
management, purchasing and tracking of shipments, thereby increasing the        
efficiency and accuracy of order processing and payments and shortening order   
turnaround time. These systems automatically track software orders from order   
processing to point-of-sale, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction through    
prompt delivery of the desired software titles.                                 

 Fulfillment.  Historically, the Company's warehouse operations provided
fulfillment services within North America to the Company and third-party        
developers. Such services included physical receipt and storage of inventory and
its distribution to the mass market and other retailers. After evaluating the   
costs associated with the fulfillment function, including, among other things,  
the costs of projected future investments in plants and technology, the Company 
decided to outsource its warehouse operations to Arnold Logistics in July 1999. 

     Distribution of Third-Party Products.  Based on the strength of its current
consumer software distribution operation, the Company has successfully attracted
other publishers to utilize its mass merchant distribution capabilities for     
their products. Such products are generally acquired by the Company and         
distributed under the name of the publisher who is, in turn, responsible for the
publishing, packaging, marketing and customer support of such products. The     
Company's agreements with other publishers typically provide for certain retail 
distribution rights in designated territories for a specific period of time,    
after which those rights are subject to negotiated renewal.                     

   Value/Close-out.  In June 1995, the Company acquired Slash Corporation, a
leading publisher, merchandiser and distributor of value-priced software. The   
value/close-out business purchases older titles from other publishers and sells 
them as "value" titles to retailers. This helps the publisher extend the life   
cycle of its products. The products are intended for retail price points of     
$4.98 to $19.99 and may include boxed products as well as products in jewel     
cases. The value/close-out business may purchase finished goods or may license  
the rights to produce finished goods from the publisher. The Company sells value
programs to some retailers in which the Company is responsible for stocking a   
four-foot or eight-foot section in the retailers' stores.                       

GEOGRAPHY                                                                       

  In connection with its restructuring and reorganization, the Company has
decided to concentrate its efforts in North America. Effective December 1, 1999,
the Company began the process of closing its European operations. Because of    
Infogrames SA's strong European presence, the Company has entered into an       
agreement with Infogrames SA to provide distribution of the Company's products  
in Europe pursuant to which the Company is entitled to receive 30% of the gross 
profit on such products. The Company believes that Infogrames SA's strong       
presence in Europe will provide effective distribution in Europe of the         
Company's

titles while allowing the Company to focus its efforts in North America. The    
Company continues to maintain an office in Australia, the results of operations 
of which are consolidated in the results of operations of the Company. For      
additional information regarding the Company's international business, see Note 
19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.                                    

SALES AND MARKETING                                                             

The Company utilizes a wide range of sales and marketing techniques to
promote sales of its products including (i) in-store promotions utilizing       
display towers and endcaps, (ii) advertising in computer and general consumer   
publications, (iii) on-line marketing, (iv) direct mailings and (v) television  
advertising. The Company monitors and measures the effectiveness of its         
marketing strategies throughout the product life cycle. Historically, the       
Company has devoted a substantial amount of its marketing resources to its      
Frontline published products and intends to do so in the future. The Company    
believes that such marketing is essential for cultivating product successes and 
brand-name loyalty.                                                             

 The Company's marketing programs have expanded along with the Company's
publishing business, with an emphasis both on launching products and on raising 
the public's awareness of new brands and franchises. The Company may begin to   
develop an integrated marketing program for a product more than a year in       
advance of its release. This integrated marketing approach may include extensive
press contacts, development of point-of-purchase displays, print and television 
advertising, Internet promotion, press events and a global synchronized launch. 

The Internet is an integral element of the Company's marketing efforts
used, in part, to generate awareness for titles months prior to their market    
debut. The Company incorporates the Internet into its marketing programs through
the creation of product-dedicated mini-sites and on-line promotions. In         
addition, the Company provides editorial material to on-line publications that  
reach the core gaming audience.                                                 

 To capitalize on the innovative nature of its products, the Company has
developed a public relations program that has resulted in coverage for the      
Company by trade journals and also by well-recognized publications such as The  
New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek and USA Today. Among the         
marketing strategies the Company utilizes is the creation of special press      
events to coincide with the launch of a new product. The Company also uses      
independent field sales representative organizations to assist in servicing its 
mass merchant accounts.                                                         

In fiscal year 1999, the Company consolidated its three North American
sales organizations into a single sales organization in order to improve the    
efficiency of its sales effort. Currently, the Company has 14 customer sales    
representatives who serve as the primary contacts with the Company's largest 25 
customers. In addition, the Company has five divisional sales representatives   
who work with the Company's customer sales representatives and their customers  
to help provide leadership and direction to the Company's selling efforts.      

In connection with the Company's restructuring and reorganization,    
effective as of December 16, 1999, the Company was granted the non-exclusive    
right in the U.S. and Canada to act as the sales agent for Infogrames North     
America, Inc. ("INA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Infogrames SA, for INA's    
products, pursuant to which the Company will receive a fixed percentage of net  
receipts for such products. The parties intend in the near future to formalize  
the arrangement in a written agreement.                                         

HARDWARE LICENSES                                                               

   The Company currently develops software for use with the Sony PlayStation
and Nintendo 64 video game systems pursuant to licensing agreements with Sony   
and Nintendo, respectively. Each license allows the Company to create one or    
more products for the applicable system, subject to certain approval rights as  
to quality which are reserved by each licensor. Each license also requires that 
the Company pay the licensor a per-unit license fee from product sales.         

The Company currently is not required to obtain any license for the   
development and distribution of PC CD-ROMs. Accordingly, the Company's per-unit 
manufacturing cost for PC-CD products is less than the per-unit manufacturing   
cost for console products.

OPERATIONS                                                                      

     In July 1999, the Company began outsourcing its warehouse operations in the
U.S. to Arnold Logistics. The warehouse operations include the receipt and      
storage of inventory as well as the distribution of inventory to mass market and
other retailing customers. In connection with the outsourcing agreement, the    
Company discontinued the use of its Edison, New Jersey facilities for warehouse 
operations and terminated the employment of approximately 525 employees who     
performed related services for the Company. The Company incurred approximately  
$2.0 million in expenses in fiscal year 2000 relating to the consolidation of   
its warehouse operations.                                                       

    The Company's CD-ROM disk duplication and the printing of user manuals and
packaging materials are performed to the Company's specifications by outside    
sources. Disks, user manuals and sales brochures are, for the most part,        
assembled for sale by the Company. To date, the Company has not experienced any 
material difficulties or delays in the manufacture and assembly of its products,
or material returns due to product defects. No concentration for the supply of  
the Company's publishing needs currently exists and a number of vendors are     
available.                                                                      

  Sony and Nintendo manufacture the Company's products that are compatible
with their respective video game consoles, as well as the manuals and packaging 
for such products, and ship finished products to the Company for distribution.  
Sony PlayStation products consist of proprietary format CD-ROMs and are         
typically delivered to the Company by Sony within a relatively short lead time. 
Manufacturers of Nintendo and other video game cartridges typically deliver     
software to the Company within 45 to 60 days after receipt of a purchase order. 
To date, the Company has not experienced any material difficulties or delays in 
the manufacture and assembly of its products. However, a shortage of components 
or other factors beyond the Company's control could impair the ability of the   
Company to bring its products to market in a timely manner and, accordingly,    
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating       
results and financial condition. See "Risk Factors -- Because Some Licensors    
Have Significant Control Over the Company's Products, There May Be Material     
Delays or Increases in the Cost of Manufacturing Those Products."               

EMPLOYEES                                                                       

As of March 31, 2000, the Company had 866 employees worldwide.        
Domestically, there were a total of 774 employees with 155 in administration and
finance, 67 in operations, 90 in sales and marketing, 353 in product development
and 109 in manufacturing and distribution. Included in the 109 employees        
involved in manufacturing and distribution are 86 employees who are members of  
Local 734 of the Laborers International Union of North America of the AFL-CIO.  
As of June 30, 2000, the Company will no longer have any affiliation with this  
union, as the Company's manufacturing and distribution operations have been     
outsourced. This process was done in an amicable manner.                        

     Internationally, as of March 31, 2000, the Company had 92 employees with 35
in administration, 9 in operations, 40 in sales and marketing and 8 in product  
development. Most of the Company's international employees will no longer be    
employed by the Company after June 30, 2000 as a result of the Company's        
decision to shut down its European operations, although some employees may be   
transferred to Infogrames SA.                                                   

  In connection with the Company's restructuring and reorganization, as of
December 16, 1999, Infogrames SA has been providing certain management and      
support services to the Company, including financial, legal and administrative  
personnel and services, on a cost plus expenses basis. The parties intend to    
enter into a written agreement in the near future to formalize the arrangement. 

COMPETITION                                                                     

 The interactive entertainment software publishing industry is intensely
competitive, and relatively few products achieve market acceptance. The         
availability of significant financial resources has become a major              

 7

competitive factor in the industry primarily as a result of the increasing      
development, acquisition, production and marketing budgets required to publish  
quality titles. The Company competes with other publishers of interactive       
entertainment software, including Electronic Arts Inc., Mattel Inc., Hasbro     
Corporation, Havas SA and Activision, Inc. In addition, some large software     
companies (including Microsoft Corporation), media companies, and film studios  
are increasing their focus on the interactive entertainment software market and 
may become significant competitors of the Company. See "Factors Affecting Future
Performance -- Significant Competition In Our Industry Could Adversely Affect   
Our Business."                                                                  

     Infogrames SA has granted the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license
to use the name Infogrames, which license may not be canceled on less than      
one-year's notice unless the Company breaches its obligations under the license.
Pursuant to this license, all of the Company's products will be marketed under  
the Infogrames brand. The Company believes that the Infogrames brand is well    
respected in the interactive entertainment software industry and that this new  
branding strategy will strengthen the Company's image with customers and the    
industry as a whole. In addition, management believes that a number of factors  
provide the Company with competitive opportunities in the industry, including   
its extensive catalog of multi-platform products, strength in the mass market,  
and strong sales forces in North America and, through Infogrames SA, in Europe. 
The Company believes that solid franchises such as Driver and attractive        
licenses with Harley Davidson, Mission Impossible and Looney Tunes, as well as  
its base of productive publishing assets, provide the Company with a competitive
angle to market its products.

RISK FACTORS

     This Risk Factors section is written to be responsive to the Securities and
Exchange Commission's "Plain English" guidelines. In this section, the words    
"we," "our," "ours" and "us" refer only to Infogrames, Inc. and its subsidiaries
and not any other person.                                                       

   Set forth below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K and in other documents we
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission are important risks and        
uncertainties that could cause our actual results of operations, business and   
financial condition to differ materially from the results contemplated by the   
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K. See "Forward-Looking    
Information."                                                                   

INFOGRAMES SA CONTROLS THE COMPANY AND COULD PREVENT AN ACQUISITION   
FAVORABLE TO OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.  Infogrames SA beneficially owns           
approximately 60% of our common stock, which gives it sufficient voting power to
prevent any unsolicited acquisition of the Company, including an acquisition    
favorable to our other stockholders. Infogrames SA and its affiliates have      
sufficient voting power to control any merger, consolidation or sale of all or  
substantially all of our assets and to elect members of the Board of Directors. 
Three of the six members of the Board are employees of Infogrames SA or its     
affiliates, not including the Company.                                          

    OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON INFOGRAMES SA's SUCCESS AND WILLINGNESS TO CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT THE COMPANY.  The Company depends upon Infogrames SA for its senior  
executives, certain management and support services, financial funding and      
distribution of its products in Europe. The success of the Company is dependent 
upon Infogrames SA's success and its willingness to continue to support the     
Company. Management believes that the Company's ability to operate on a stand-  
alone basis may be limited. Although the Company is exploring various strategic 
alternatives, there can be no assurance that any such transactions will be      
consummated, or that if consummated any such transactions will improve the      
Company's business, operating results or financial condition.                   

 WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING.  Since its acquisition of a majority
stake in the Company, Infogrames SA has to date provided financing to the       
Company, although there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so.     
Management believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term         
investments, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, cash  
available under the Credit Agreement and continued financial support from       
Infogrames SA, will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations and cash     
flows into the second quarter of fiscal year 2001. While management believes    
that replacement funding will be available from Infogrames SA or other sources, 
there can be no assurance that future financing will be available on favorable  
terms, if at all.                                                               

OUR COMMON STOCK CURRENTLY DOES NOT MEET THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET'S 
MINIMUM SHARE PRICE REQUIREMENT AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO DELISTING.                

   As a condition to continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National
Market, Nasdaq rules require that the minimum bid price for our common stock be 
at least $5 per share for ten consecutive days. We have been notified by the    
Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that our common stock does not meet this         
requirement and that proceedings will be instituted to delist our common stock  
from the Nasdaq National Market. On June 2, 2000, we filed a notice of appeal   
with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearing Department. This notice had the  
effect of automatically staying the delisting proceedings until a Nasdaq Listing
Qualification Panel could be convened to consider our appeal. We have been      
informed by the staff of the Nasdaq that a panel will be convened on July 6th   
for our appeal to be heard by the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel.           

   On June 26, 2000, we effected a one-for-five reverse stock split in order
to bring our Common Stock in compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements. On  
June 27th, the first day of trading following the reverse stock split, our      
common stock met the minimum bid requirement. Although we cannot predict whether
our common stock will continue to meet the minimum bid requirement or whether   
our appeal will be successful, we believe that at the time our appeal is heard  
by the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel, we will be in full

compliance with Nasdaq requirements. In the event our appeal is not successful, 
we believe that our common stock would be eligible for listing on the Nasdaq    
Small Cap Market.                                                               

 THE LOSS OF EITHER WAL-MART OR TARGET AS KEY CUSTOMERS COULD NEGATIVELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. Our sales to Wal-Mart and Target accounted for             
approximately 24% and 11%, respectively, of net revenues for the fiscal year    
ended March 31, 2000 and our gross accounts receivable from Wal-Mart and Target 
were approximately $13.4 million and $15.5 million, respectively, at March 31,  
2000. Our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely
affected if:                                                                    

- we lost Wal-Mart or Target as a customer,                           

- we began shipping fewer products to Wal-Mart or Target,             

- we were unable to collect receivables from Wal-Mart or Target, or   

     - we experienced any other adverse change in our relationship with Wal-Mart
or Target.                                                        

We do not have any written agreements or understandings with either   
Wal-Mart or Target. Consequently, our relationship with either Wal-Mart or      
Target could end at any time. We cannot assure you that Wal-Mart and Target will
continue to use us as a major supplier of consumer software, or at all. During  
the second half of 1997, Wal-Mart began purchasing software directly from five  
publishers whose software was previously sold to Wal-Mart through the Company.  
During 1999 and 2000, Wal-Mart has continued, and can be expected to continue,  
to buy software directly from other publishers, rather than purchasing software 
through the Company. These direct purchases could significantly reduce our sales
to Wal-Mart.                                                                    

  OUR REVENUES WILL DECLINE AND OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION WILL BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS ON A TIMELY BASIS.  Our     
continued success in the publishing business depends on the timely introduction 
of successful new products, sequels or enhancements of existing products to     
replace declining revenues from older products. A significant delay in          
introducing new products, sequels or enhancements could materially and adversely
affect the ultimate success of our products and, in turn, our business,         
operating results and financial condition, particularly in view of the          
seasonality of our business. For example, the introduction of five major titles 
was delayed from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999 to the first half of    
fiscal year 2000, significantly contributing to operating losses during the     
fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999. The process of introducing new products,    
sequels or product enhancements is extremely difficult and will only become more
difficult as new platforms and technologies emerge. Competitive factors in our  
industry demand that we create increasingly sophisticated products, which in    
turn makes it difficult to produce and release these products on a predictable  
schedule.                                                                       

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO DEVELOP, MARKET AND PUBLISH NEW PRODUCTS IF WE ARE
UNABLE TO SECURE OR MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE            
DEVELOPERS.  Although we have substantially increased our internal software     
capabilities over the last five years, we are still dependent, to a meaningful  
degree, upon independent software developers. For the fiscal year ended March   
31, 2000, approximately 46% of our Frontline publishing revenues were derived   
from products developed by independent developers. Consequently, our success    
depends in part on our continued ability to obtain or renew product development 
agreements with independent developers. However, we cannot assure you that we   
will be able to obtain or renew these product development agreements on         
favorable terms, or at all, nor can we assure you that we will be able to obtain
the rights to sequels of successful products which were originally developed by 
independent developers for the Company. In addition, many of our competitors    
have greater access to capital than we do, which puts us at a competitive       
disadvantage when bidding to attract independent developers to enter into       
publishing agreements with us.                                                  

    Our agreements with independent software developers are easily terminable,
often without notice, if either party declares bankruptcy, becomes insolvent,   
ceases operations or materially breaches its agreement and fails to cure that   
breach within a designated time frame. In addition, many independent software   
developers have limited financial resources. Many are small companies with a few
key individuals without whom a project may be difficult or impossible to        
complete. Consequently, we are exposed to the risk that these

developers will go out of business before completing a project, or simply cease 
work on a project, for which we have hired them.                                

    COMPETITION FOR INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS IS INTENSE AND MAY PREVENT
US FROM SECURING OR MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE         
DEVELOPERS.  We may be unable to secure or maintain relationships with          
independent developers if our competitors can offer them better shelf access,   
better marketing support, more development funding, higher royalty rates, or    
other selling advantages. Even if these independent developers have developed   
products for us in the past, we cannot assure you that they will continue to    
develop products for us in the future. In fact, we have in the past worked with 
independent developers who later entered into agreements with our competitors   
because of our competitors' ability or willingness to pay higher royalty rates  
or advances.                                                                    

    INDEPENDENT DEVELOPERS MAY PUBLISH THEIR OWN PRODUCTS INSTEAD OF USING THE
COMPANY TO PUBLISH AND DISTRIBUTE THEIR PRODUCTS, OR MAY SIGN PUBLICATION       
AGREEMENTS WITH OUR COMPETITORS, EITHER OF WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR       
ABILITY TO DEVELOP, MARKET AND PUBLISH NEW PRODUCTS. For example, in January    
1998, a consortium in which certain independent developers purport to have      
ownership interests, announced that it secured publishing rights with respect to
software titles to be produced by these developers, which include Apogee        
Software (3D Realms), developer of Duke Nukem and Prey, and Epic Games,         
developer of Unreal. Although the consortium also announced that these          
developers will honor their existing obligations to other software publishers,  
we do not know if the competitive pressures exerted by the consortium will      
inhibit us from establishing and maintaining relationships with independent     
software developers in the future.                                              

     FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR QUARTERLY NET REVENUES AND OPERATING RESULTS MAY RESULT
IN REDUCED PROFITABILITY AND LEAD TO REDUCED PRICES FOR OUR STOCK.  Our         
quarterly net revenues and operating results have varied in the past and can be 
expected to vary in the future. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will  
be consistently profitable on a quarterly or annual basis. If our operating     
results in any future quarter fall below the expectations of market analysts or 
investors, the price of our common stock will likely decrease.                  

  Our business has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience,
significant seasonality. Typically, our net sales are significantly higher      
during the fourth calendar quarter because of increased consumer demand during  
the year-end holiday season. In other calendar quarters, our net revenues may be
lower and vary significantly.                                                   

     OUR REVENUE GROWTH AND COMPETITIVE POSITION MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE
ARE UNABLE TO ANTICIPATE AND ADAPT TO RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGY.  The consumer
software industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology. The          
introduction of new technologies, including new technologies that support       
multi-player games and new media formats such as on-line delivery and digital   
video disks (DVDs), could render our previously released products obsolete or   
unmarketable. We must continually anticipate the emergence of, and adapt our    
products to, new technologies and systems. In addition, the development cycle   
for products designed to operate on new systems can be significantly longer than
our current development cycles. When we choose to publish or develop a product  
for a new system, we may need to make a substantial development investment one  
or two years in advance of when we actually ship products for that system. If we
develop products for a new system that is ultimately unpopular, our revenues    
from that product may be less than expected and we may not be able to recoup our
investment. Conversely, if we choose not to publish products for a new system   
that is ultimately popular, our revenue growth and competitive position may be  
adversely affected. While 32- and 64-bit game systems, such as Sony PlayStation 
and Nintendo 64, continue to be popular and their installed base has reached    
significant levels in the U.S. and worldwide, new systems such as Microsoft's   
Xbox are being developed. For example, Sony introduced the PlayStation 2, a     
128-bit system that incorporates DVD technology, in Japan in March 2000 and     
plans to introduce it to overseas markets by fall 2000. If successfully         
developed, these new systems would require us to reassess our commitment to 32- 
and 64-bit game systems or any new systems which are introduced.

BECAUSE SOME LICENSORS HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER THE COMPANY'S    
PRODUCTS, THERE MAY BE MATERIAL DELAYS OR INCREASES IN THE COST OF MANUFACTURING
THOSE PRODUCTS.  We are required to obtain a license to develop and distribute  
software for each of the video game systems for which we develop products. We   
currently have licenses from Sony to develop products for the Sony PlayStation, 
and Nintendo to develop products for Nintendo 64. Our contracts with Sony and   
Nintendo often grant them significant control over the manufacturing of the     
Company products. For example, we are obligated to submit new games to Sony or  
Nintendo for approval prior to development and/or manufacture. In some          
circumstances, this could adversely affect the Company by:                      

    - leaving the Company unable to have its products manufactured and shipped
to customers,                                                     

     - increasing manufacturing lead times and expense to us over the lead times
and costs we could achieve independently,                         

- delaying the manufacture and, in turn, the shipment of products, and

- requiring the Company to take significant risks in prepaying for and
holding its inventory of products.                                

     These factors could materially and adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.                                                

  THE LOSS OF OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND SKILLED PERSONNEL COULD NEGATIVELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.  In late 1999 and early 2000, we replaced several of our   
most senior executive officers. Our success will depend to a significant degree 
upon the performance and contribution of our senior management team and upon our
ability to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees with         
technical, management, marketing, sales, product development and other creative 
skills. In the computer software industry, competition for highly skilled and   
creative employees is intense and costly. We expect this competition to continue
for the foreseeable future, and we may experience increased costs in order to   
attract and retain skilled employees.                                           

     We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining
skilled personnel. Our business, operating results and financial condition could
be materially and adversely affected if we lost the services of senior employees
or if we failed to replace other employees who leave or to attract additional   
qualified employees.                                                            

SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION IN OUR INDUSTRY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR    
BUSINESS.  The market for our products is highly competitive and relatively few 
products achieve significant market acceptance. Currently, we compete primarily 
with other publishers of interactive entertainment software for both personal   
computers and video game consoles. Our competitors include Electronic Arts Inc.,
Mattel Inc., Hasbro Corporation, Havas SA, and Activision. In addition, some    
large software companies (including Microsoft), media companies and film        
studios, such as Walt Disney Company, are increasing their focus on the         
interactive entertainment and edutainment software market and may become        
significant competitors of the Company. As compared to the Company, many of our 
current and future competitors may have significantly greater financial,        
technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, these current and    
future competitors may be able to:                                              

- respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or changes in  
customer preferences,                                             

- carry larger inventories,                                           

- undertake more extensive marketing campaigns,                       

- adopt more aggressive pricing policies, and                         

 - make higher offers or guarantees to software developers and licensors
than the Company.                                                 

 We may not have the resources required for us to respond effectively to
market or technological changes or to compete successfully with current and     
future competitors. Increased competition may result in price reductions,       
reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a       
material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial         
condition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to

successfully compete against our current or future competitors or that          
competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our business,  
operating results and financial condition.                                      

REVENUES FROM OUR DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS MAY DECLINE AS COMPETITION    
INCREASES AND INTERNET TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES.  During the fiscal year ended March 
31, 2000, revenues from our distribution business were approximately 33% of net 
revenues. Recently, several of our customers have begun to purchase directly    
from software publishers rather than purchasing software through the Company.   
New video game systems and electronic delivery systems may be introduced into   
the software market and potential new competitors may enter the software        
development and distribution market, resulting in greater competition. In       
addition, revenues from our distribution business may be adversely affected as  
Internet technology is improved to enable consumers to purchase and download    
full-version software products or order products directly from publishers or    
from unauthorized or illegal sources over the Internet.                         

REVENUES FROM OUR DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS MAY DECLINE IF THE THIRD-PARTY
PRODUCTS WHICH WE DISTRIBUTE FOR OTHER COMPANIES BECOME UNAVAILABLE TO US.  As  
part of our distribution program, we provide our mass merchant customers with a 
wide variety of titles. To achieve this product mix, we must supplement the     
distribution of our own published products with third-party software products,  
including products published by our competitors. We cannot assure you that these
competitors will continue to provide us with their products for distribution to 
our mass merchant customers. Our inability to obtain software titles developed  
or published by our competitors, coupled with our inability to obtain these     
titles from other distributors, could have a material adverse effect on our     
relationships with our mass merchant customers and our ability to obtain shelf  
space for our own products. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect 
on our business, operating results and financial condition.                     

 WE MAY FACE INCREASED COMPETITION AND DOWNWARD PRICE PRESSURE IF WE ARE
UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.  Our success is heavily     
dependent upon our confidential and proprietary intellectual property. We sell a
significant portion of our published software under licenses from independent   
developers and, in these cases, we do not acquire the copyrights for the        
underlying work. We rely primarily on a combination of confidentiality and      
non-disclosure agreements, patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws,  
as well as other proprietary rights laws and legal methods, to protect our      
proprietary rights and the rights of our developers. However, current U.S. and  
international laws afford us only limited protection. Despite our efforts to    
protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy our    
products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Software  
piracy is a persistent problem in the computer software industry. Policing      
unauthorized use of our products is extremely difficult because consumer        
software can be easily duplicated and disseminated. Furthermore, the laws of    
some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to as great an    
extent as U.S. law. Software piracy is a particularly acute problem in some     
international markets such as South America, the Middle East, the Pacific Rim   
and the Far East. Our business, operating results and financial condition could 
be materially and adversely affected if a significant amount of unauthorized    
copying of our products were to occur. We cannot assure you that our attempts to
protect our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not
independently develop similar or competitive products.                          

     WE MAY FACE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS WHICH WOULD BE COSTLY
TO RESOLVE.  As the number of available software products increases, and their  
functionality overlaps, software developers and publishers may increasingly     
become subject to infringement claims. We are not aware that any of our products
infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties. However, we cannot assure  
you that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company  
in the future with respect to current or future products. There has been        
substantial litigation in the industry regarding copyright, trademark and other 
intellectual property rights. We have also initiated litigation to assert our   
intellectual property rights. Whether brought by or against the Company, these  
claims can be time consuming, result in costly litigation and divert            
management's attention from the day-to-day operations of the Company, which can 
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial 
condition.

  WE MAY BE AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY
IMPLEMENT OUR INTERNET STRATEGY.  To take advantage of Internet opportunities,  
we have, and will continue to:                                                  

- expand our World Wide Web sites and the development of our Internet 
infrastructure and capabilities,                                  

- expand our electronic distribution capabilities,                    

- incorporate on-line functionality into existing products, and       

- develop and invest in new Internet-based businesses and products,   
including multi-player entertainment products.                    

   Implementing our Internet strategy has been costly. We have incurred, and
expect to incur, significant additional costs in connection with these efforts. 
These costs include those associated with the acquisition and maintenance of    
hardware and software necessary to permit on-line commerce and multi-player     
games, as well as the related maintenance of our website and personnel. Although
we believe these platforms and technologies are an integral part of our         
business, we cannot assure you that our Internet strategy will be successful or 
that we will be able to recoup the cost of our investment.                      

WE ARE CURRENTLY IN LITIGATION WHICH COULD BE COSTLY IF WE LOSE.  As  
described under Item 3, "Legal Proceedings," the Company is currently a         
defendant, or subject to counterclaims, in a number of lawsuits. In all of these
lawsuits, we believe that the plaintiffs' complaints are without merit. Although
we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these actions, doing so is     
costly and time consuming and may divert management's attention from our        
day-to-day operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that these actions will
be ultimately resolved in our favor or that an adverse outcome will not have a  
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial        
condition.                                                                      

     IF ACTUAL RETURNS EXCEED OUR RETURN RESERVE, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE NEGATIVELY
AFFECTED.  To cover returns, we establish a return reserve at the time we ship  
our products. We estimate the potential for future returns based on historical  
return rates, seasonality of sales, retailer inventories of our products, and   
other factors. While we are able to recover the majority of our costs when      
third-party products are returned, we bear the full financial risk when our own 
products are returned. In addition, the license fees we pay Sony and Nintendo   
are non-refundable and we cannot recover these fees when our console products   
are returned. Although we believe we maintain adequate reserves with respect to 
product returns, we cannot assure you that actual returns will not exceed       
reserves, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and      
financial condition.                                                            

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES                                                             

  The Company's principal administrative, sales, marketing and development
facilities are located in approximately 90,000 square feet of space at 417 Fifth
Avenue in New York City under a lease expiring in 2007, which commenced in      
December 1996. The Company subleased 30,000 square feet of this space beginning 
on April 1, 2000.                                                               

Certain product development and marketing divisions are located in    
approximately 7,600-square-feet of office space in San Francisco, California,   
under a lease that expires in July 2000.                                        

    The Leisure Division has a lease for 23,400 square feet of office space in
Plymouth, Minnesota that expires in February 2003.                              

In Scottsdale, Arizona, the Company leases a 25,000-square-foot office
space under a lease expiring in March 2006 that has been sublet for the         
remaining term. It also leased a 2,900-square-foot office space under a lease   
that expired in May 2000.                                                       

 The Company has leased approximately 83,000 square feet of office space
under two separate leases to house its Humongous subsidiary in Bothell,         
Washington, under leases expiring in May 2008 and June 2004.

The Company has assumed leases in connection with certain of its      
acquisitions and entered into leases for certain of its internal development    
studios, totaling approximately 76,000 square feet with lease expiration dates  
from June 2000 through September 2010. These properties are located in Utah,    
England, the Netherlands, Germany and France.                                   

The Company maintains two facilities in London, England totaling      
approximately 19,200 square feet, from which it conducted a substantial portion 
of its European operations, under leases that expire in December 2000 and March 
2012. The Company is in the process of shutting down its European operations and
is seeking to assign the lease expiring in March 2012 to Infogrames SA.         

    The Company also maintains approximately 6,200 square feet of office space
in Australia under leases that expire in September 2000 and November 2000.      

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS                                                      

     On September 18, 1997, Scavenger, Inc. ("Scavenger"), a software developer,
filed a lawsuit against the Company in Supreme Court, New York County, claiming 
that the Company breached a software development contract between the parties   
dated November 28, 1995. Scavenger alleges that the Company, after paying $2.5  
million in advances and accepting delivery of gold master disks for two computer
games, refused to pay any more advances, including advances relating to the     
development of two additional games under the agreement. Scavenger is suing for 
the remaining advances ($4.3 million) and for future royalties ($5 million), and
also seeks consequential damages for allegedly being forced out of business     
($100 million) and losing contracts with unspecified third parties ($4 million) 
as a result of the Company's alleged breach. The Company filed an answer and    
counterclaim, in which it denies any liability to Scavenger and alleges, among  
other things, that the contract was lawfully terminated when Scavenger failed to
deliver the two remaining games after receiving from the Company written notice 
to cure its material breaches. By its counterclaim, the Company seeks damages   
and restitution for at least $5 million on grounds of breach of contract and    
unjust enrichment.                                                              

  By order entered March 3, 2000, the Court granted Scavenger's motion for
partial summary judgment on its claim for $1.9 million allegedly due on the two 
delivered games and judgment was entered on March 14, 2000 in the amount of     
$2,411,114 (reflecting pre-judgment interest on the claim). The Company posted a
bond in the amount of the judgment and immediately appealed from this order and 
judgment to the Appellate Division, First Department. On June 8, 2000, the      
Appellate Division, First Department affirmed the order and judgment entered by 
the Supreme Court. The Company has moved for leave to appeal to the Court of    
Appeals.                                                                        

In its order of March 3, 2000, the Court denied Scavenger's motion for
partial summary judgment seeking $2.4 million on the two games never delivered. 
In addition, the Court denied Scavenger's motion for leave to amend the         
complaint to add claims for fraud and seeking damages of $100 million.          

 The Company moved for partial summary judgment seeking dismissal of the
claim for consequential damages ($75-125 million) and additional royalties ($5  
million). By order entered June 21, 2000, the Court denied the Company's motion 
and granted Scavenger leave to conduct an audit of royalties allegedly due to   
Scavenger.                                                                      

   In January, February and March 1998, ten substantially similar complaints
were filed against the Company, its former Chairman and its former Chief        
Executive Officer, and in certain actions, its former Chief Financial Officer,  
in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The           
plaintiffs, in general, purport to sue on behalf of a class of persons who      
purchased shares (and as to certain complaints, purchased call options or sold  
put options) of the Company during the period from August 1, 1996 through       
December 12, 1997. The plaintiffs allege that the Company violated the federal  
securities laws by making misrepresentations and omissions of material facts    
that allegedly artificially inflated the market price of the Company's Common   
Stock during the class period. The plaintiffs further allege that the Company   
failed to expense properly certain prepaid royalties for software products that 
had been terminated or had failed to achieve technological feasibility, or had  
insufficient sales to recoup the paid advances, which misstatements purportedly 
had the

effect of overstating the Company's net income and net assets. Motions were made
by certain groups of plaintiffs for their appointment as lead plaintiffs in the 
actions. On October 7, 1998, the Court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead       
counsel to the plaintiffs in the actions. The plaintiffs' consolidated and      
amended complaint was filed and served in early January 1999. By order dated    
January 23, 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave to file a second            
consolidated and amended complaint, which added claims under Section 10(b) of   
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule  
10b-5 under the Exchange Act against the Company's independent auditors, Arthur 
Andersen LLP. The Company and Arthur Andersen LLP each filed motions to dismiss 
the second consolidated and amended complaint. By order and opinion dated       
November 29, 1999, the Court granted the motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs have     
appealed from the dismissal of the action, and oral argument on the appeal was  
held on June 8, 2000. The Company believes that these complaints are without    
merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against these actions.            

    On April 12, 1999, an action was commenced by the administrators for three
children who were murdered on December 1, 1997 by Michael Carneal at Heath High 
School in McCracken County, Kentucky. The action was brought against 25         
defendants, including the Company and other corporations in the video game      
business, companies that produced or distributed the movie "The Basketball      
Diaries," and companies that allegedly provide obscene internet content. The    
complaint alleges, with respect to the Company and other video game             
corporations, that Carneal was influenced by the allegedly violent content of   
certain video games and that the video game manufacturers are liable for        
Carneal's conduct. The complaint seeks $10 million in compensatory damages and  
$100 million in punitive damages. The Company and approximately ten other       
videogame corporations have entered into a joint defense agreement and have     
retained counsel. By order entered April 6, 2000, the Court granted a motion to 
dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs have filed a motion to vacate the dismissal of
the action, and this motion is currently being briefed.                         

     On March 12, 1999, Fenris Wolf Ltd. ("Fenris"), a software developer, filed
a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court claiming that the Company failed to         
adequately pursue bundling opportunities for the software game "Rebel Moon      
Rising MMX" and unlawfully rejected the ninth milestone deliverable for the     
software game "Rebel Moon Revolution" under a development contract between the  
parties dated June 26, 1996. The complaint asserts five claims of breach and    
intentional interference, which seek $100,000 for the nonpayment and rejection  
of milestone nine, $400,000 for the balance of payments under the contract,     
$775,000 for alleged lost bundling opportunities, $775,000 for alleged          
intentional interference with bundling arrangements and $500,000 for alleged    
interference with contractual relations. In an October 20, 1999 opinion and     
order, the court granted the Company's motion to dismiss three of the five      
claims so that only the milestone nine contract and bundling claims remain.     
Fenris has filed a notice of appeal from the dismissal of the $400,000 claim for
the balance of payments under the contract; and the Company has filed a         
counterclaim for breach seeking to recover not less than the $800,000 in        
milestone payments advanced for the development of "Rebel Moon Revolution."     
Fenris has moved for summary judgment on its first cause of action ($100,000),  
and the Company has moved for summary judgment dismissing the bundling claim.   
The Company intends to vigorously defend this action and pursue its             
counterclaim.                                                                   

On February 7, 2000, Hasbro Interactive Inc., its subsidiary Atari    
Interactive, Inc. and Zao Elorg d/b/a Elorg Corporation filed a lawsuit against 
the Company and five other companies in Massachusetts federal court. The        
complaint asserts claims against the Company for copyright infringement and     
unfair competition based on the sale of the computer videogames entitled        
"HemiRoids," "Patriot Command," "Bricklayer," "3D TetriMadness," "3D Munch Man,"
"3D Munch Man II" and "Mac-Man," as well as claims for trademark infringement   
and dilution for use of the name "3D TetriMadness." The complaint seeks         
injunctive relief, actual profits, statutory damages, attorneys' fees and costs 
pursuant to federal copyright and trademark laws, as well as common law damages.
By settlement agreement dated March 29, 2000, the Company settled this action   
and agreed to stop manufacturing and/or distributing the allegedly infringing   
games.                                                                          

   Additionally, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, the ultimate resolution of which    
management believes will not be material to the Company's results of operations 
or financial condition.

of the Common Stock to meet certain requirements of the Nasdaq National Market. 
See "Risk Factors -- Our Common Stock Does Not Currently Meet the Nasdaq

of shares of Common Stock in this Annual Report do not reflect the reverse stock
split.                                                                          

 The Company currently anticipates that it will retain all of its future
earnings for use in the expansion and operation of its business and does not    
anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable     
future. In addition, the payment of cash dividends may be limited by financing  
agreements entered into by the Company in the future.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS                                                                   

OVERVIEW                                                                        

    The Company develops, publishes, and distributes interactive entertainment
for the children's education ("edutainment"), leisure entertainment, and gaming 
enthusiast's markets for a variety of platforms. The Company employs a portfolio
approach to achieve a broad base of published products across most major        
consumer software categories. Since it commenced operations in February 1993,   
the Company has experienced rapid growth and its product and customer mix has   
changed substantially.                                                          

  Publishing and distribution are the two major activities of the Company.
Publishing is divided into Frontline, Leisure and Children's publishing. Because
each of these product categories has different associated costs, the Company's  
margins have depended and will depend, in part, on the percentage of net        
revenues attributable to each category. In addition, a particular product's     
margin may depend on whether it has been internally or externally developed and 
on what platforms it is published. Further, the Company's margins may vary      
significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of its new        
published product releases. To the extent that mass merchants require greater   
proportions of third-party software products, some of which may yield lower     
margins, the Company's operating results may be impacted accordingly.           

The worldwide interactive entertainment software market is comprised  
primarily of software for two distinct platforms: PCs and dedicated game        
consoles. The market has grown dramatically in recent years with its growth     
driven by the increasing installed base of multimedia PCs and current generation
game console systems. In addition, the development of enabling multimedia       
technologies, the proliferation of software titles, the development of new and  
expanding distribution channels and the emergence of a strong international     
market for interactive entertainment software have spurred the rapid expansion  
of the interactive entertainment market.                                        

There has been an increased rate of change and complexity in the      
technological innovations affecting the Company's products, coupled with        
increased competitiveness for shelf space and buyer selectivity. The market for 
Frontline titles has become increasingly hit-driven, which has led to higher    
production budgets, more complex development processes, longer development      
cycles and generally shorter product life cycles. The importance of the timely  
release of hit titles, as well as the increased scope and complexity of the     
product development and production process, have increased the need for         
disciplined product development processes that limit cost and schedule overruns.
This in turn has increased the importance of leveraging the technologies,       
characters or storylines of such hit titles into additional interactive         
entertainment software products in order to spread development costs among      
multiple products. In this environment, the Company is determined to achieve a  
balance between development done by its own internal development studios and    
that done by third-party developers.                                            

Along with its industry competitors, the Company had historically     
capitalized royalties advanced to third-party developers as a prepayment in     
current assets and evaluated the realization of these royalty advances on a     
quarterly basis. The market changes noted above have made it extremely difficult
to determine the likelihood of individual product acceptance and success. As a  
result, in the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company expensed royalty    
advances of $73.8 million on products that were in development or on sale. In   
connection with this change in the dynamics of the marketplace, the Company     
changed its accounting, beginning on January 1, 1998, for future royalty        
advances, treating such costs as research and development expenses, which are   
expensed as incurred. Multi-year output advances will continue to be capitalized
as royalty advances and expensed over the development periods, in accordance    
with generally accepted accounting principles.                                  

The distribution channels for interactive software have changed       
significantly in recent years. Traditionally, consumer software was sold through
specialty stores. Today, consumer software is increasingly sold through mass    
merchants such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target, as well as major retailers,       
including Office Depot, Best Buy, CompUSA, AAFES, Sam's Club and Babbage's. The 
Internet and on-line networks also present a new channel through which          
publishers and distributors can distribute their products to end-users.

    Sales are recorded net of expected future returns. Higher than anticipated
returns were experienced in the last fiscal year, and management has taken a    
substantial provision for price protection as stated below. Management          
continually assesses and re-evaluates the rate of returns and price protection  
based on business conditions and market factors.                                

 In 1998, the Company acquired One Zero Media, Inc. ("OZM"), Reflections
Interactive Limited ("Reflections"), Legend and Home Software Benelux B.V.      
("Homesoft"). Financial results of these companies have been included in the    
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the period since the            
acquisitions, which were accounted for as purchases. At March 31, 1999, OZM is  
accounted for as a discontinued operation, as it was the Company's intention to 
sell OZM. OZM was sold on July 28, 1999 for $5.2 million in cash. This resulted 
in an additional loss for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from        
discontinued operations of $0.5 million. The initial loss recorded in the prior 
fiscal year of $19.0 million included a provision of $5.0 million for operating 
losses during the phase-out period.                                             

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company changed its fiscal year from   
December 31 to March 31. Accordingly, the discussion of financial results set   
forth below compares the twelve months ended March 31, 2000 to the twelve months
ended March 31, 1999, the twelve months ended March 31, 1999 to the twelve      
months ended March 31, 1998, the three months ended March 31, 1998 to the       
comparable 1997 period, and the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 to the    
comparable 1996 period.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,    
1999                                                                            

 Net revenues for fiscal 2000 decreased approximately $196.8 million, or
34.4%, to $375.6 million from $572.3 million in fiscal 1999. This decrease is   
attributable to the restructuring of the Company's publishing business, the     
acquisition by Infogrames SA of a controlling interest in the Company and the   
Company's decision to downsize its distribution business, whereby substantially 
less product was shipped in the last four months of the fiscal year.            
Additionally, some of the Company's larger retail customers continue to purchase
consumer software directly from several large publishers whose software was     
previously sold through the Company.

   Total publishing revenue decreased 15.7% to $252.3 million in fiscal 2000
from $299.4 million in fiscal 1999. Approximately 55% of such revenues related  
to PC product revenues and 45% of such revenues related to console game revenues
in fiscal 2000, as compared to 58% and 42%, respectively, in fiscal 1999.       

     While the consumer software business is typically seasonal, the granting of
price protection and returns of products in fiscal 2000 exceeded expectations.  
As consumer pricing has become more competitive, the Company is finding more    
frequently that it is necessary to offer mark-downs for products which have not 
yet sold through to the consumer, or to accept a higher level of returns of     
product that are not selling at retail, or both. A large portion of aging       
customer chargebacks relating to price protection, co-op advertising and        
uncollectible accounts were reserved for in the current fiscal quarter.         

A significant portion of the Company's revenues in any quarter are    
generally derived from software first released in that quarter or in the        
immediately preceding quarter. See "Risk Factors -- Our Revenues Will Decline   
and Our Competitive Position Will Be Adversely Affected If We Are Unable to     
Introduce New Products on a Timely Basis."                                      

   Cost of goods sold for fiscal 2000 decreased approximately $33.7 million,
or 10.2%, to $296.3 million from $330.0 million in fiscal 1999. Cost of goods   
sold as a percentage of net revenues increased to 78.9% in fiscal 2000 as       
compared to 57.7% in fiscal 1999. The increase, as a percentage of net revenues,
was due to lower overall sales volume, coupled with substantial reserves for    
unsellable product, particularly third-party product, which bears a higher cost 
than published product, both domestically and internationally.                  

    Gross profit decreased from $242.4 million (42.3% of net revenues) for the
year ended March 31, 1999 to $79.3 million (21.1% of net revenues) for the year 
ended March 31, 2000. This decrease primarily is due to reduced sales volume and
higher cost of goods sold as described above. Gross profit is primarily impacted
by the percentage of sales of CD software as compared to the percentage of sales
of cartridge software. Gross profit may also be impacted from time to time by   
the percentage of foreign sales, and the level of returns and price protection  
and concessions to retailers and distributors. The Company's margins on sales of
CD software (currently, PlayStation, PCs and Dreamcast) are higher than those on
cartridge software (currently, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color) as a result of   
significantly lower CD software product costs.                                  

Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses,
sales and distribution labor expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and   
distribution facilities costs. During fiscal 2000, these expenses increased     
approximately $0.3 million, or 0.2%, to $147.8 million from $147.5 million in   
fiscal 1999. Selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of net revenues  
for fiscal 2000 increased to 39.4% as compared to 25.8% in fiscal 1999. The     
increase, as a percentage of net revenues, was due to lower overall sales       
volume, and the increase in co-op advertising costs due to the write-down of    
receivables. This was partially offset by the reduction of freight costs due to 
decreased sales volume.                                                         

   General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel expenses,
facilities costs, professional expenses and other overhead charges. These       
expenses in fiscal 2000 increased approximately $20.5 million, or 30.8%, to     
$87.1 million from $66.6 million in fiscal 1999. General and administrative     
expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 23.2% in fiscal 2000 from 
11.6% in fiscal 1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in salary  
expense relating to the severance packages of several senior officers during the
fiscal year, the write-off of uncollectible account receivables, and additional 
costs incurred associated with management's reorganization of operations as a   
result of the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by Infogrames
SA.                                                                             

 Research and development expenses primarily includes payment of royalty
advances to third-party developers on products that are currently in development
and direct costs of internally developing and producing a title such as salaries
and other related costs. These expenses in fiscal 2000 decreased approximately  
$10.3 million, or 13.4%, to $66.6 million from $76.9 million in fiscal 1999.    
Research and development, as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 17.7% in
fiscal 2000 from 13.4% in fiscal 1999. The decrease in research and development 
expenses is primarily due to the Company entering into fewer new contracts with 
external developers, partially offset by a $7.8 million earned-out royalty      
payment to Reflections for the title Driver during the three months ended       
September 30, 1999, which was paid in cash and Common

Stock. Research and development expenses of the Company's internal development  
studios, which primarily include Humongous, Legend and Reflections, increased to
$45.7 million in fiscal 2000 from $34.9 million in fiscal 1999.                 

     Restructuring and other charges of approximately $37.9 million, recorded in
the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2000, relate to a reorganization of the 
Company's Frontline publishing business, the shutdown of a substantial portion  
of European publishing operations and outsourcing and down-sizing of the        
Company's distribution and assembly functions. Approximately $17.6 million      
relates to the write-off of goodwill as a result of the consolidation of the    
value distribution division with the Company's publishing division, $12.1       
million relates to the shutdown of European operations, including the write-off 
of all goodwill other than that relating to the Reflections studio, $6.1 million
relates to impaired assets and $2.1 million relates to the planned severance of 
221 employees, primarily administrative functions. The remaining employees to be
terminated received notification prior to year end and will be leaving the      
Company over the next three months. Management expects to complete the Company's
reorganization by June 30, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, 88 employees were        
terminated under the restructuring plan.                                        

Amortization of goodwill for fiscal 2000 decreased approximately $0.2 
million, or 7.1%, to $3.1 million from $3.3 million in fiscal 1999. This        
decrease is attributable to the lower amortization expense as a result of the   
write-off of all goodwill, other than the Legend and Reflections studios, in    
connection with the Company's reorganization plans.                             

   Interest expense increased approximately $12.1 million during fiscal 2000
to $17.2 million from $5.1 million in fiscal 1999. The increase was partially   
attributable to the increase in interest costs associated with increased        
borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the Credit     
Agreement. The amortization of deferred financing costs relating to the Credit  
Agreement and the subordinated notes held by General Atlantic Partners, LLC     
(together with its affiliates, "GAP") and members of the Cayre family also      
contributed to the increase in interest and other income (expense), net.        

     The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 was 15% compared to 36% in
fiscal 1999. The valuation allowance increased by $134,591 in fiscal 2000,      
consisting of a valuation allowance of $48,806 for the beginning deferred tax   
asset balance and a valuation allowance of $85,785 for the net change in the    
deferred tax asset during the year. Such valuation allowance was necessary due  
to the current year operating results and the terminated plans to sell certain  
of the Company's businesses which would have resulted in the utilization of the 
deferred tax asset. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the net
deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that such assets will be    
realized in the foreseeable future.                                             

Pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations -- Reporting Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a        
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and      
Transactions" ("APB 30"), as of March 31, 2000, the Consolidated Financial      
Statements of the Company reflect the planned disposal of OZM as a discontinued 
operation. Accordingly, the revenues, costs and expenses, assets and            
liabilities, and cash flows of this business have been excluded from the        
respective captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements 
of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated 
Statements of Cash Flows, and have been reported through its planned date of    
disposition as "Loss from discontinued operations." As of March 31, 1999, OZM   
was accounted for as a discontinued operation and was sold in July 1999. This   
resulted in a loss from discontinued operations of $19.5 million, $0.5 million  
of which is recognized in the fiscal year 2000.                                 

    The gain on early extinguishment of debt of $3.2 million ($1.3 million net
of tax) relates to the net gain recognized on the issuance of subordinated      
convertible notes in exchange for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
("Preferred Stock") and subordinated notes of the Company held by GAP and the   
write-off of deferred financing costs associated with warrants issued in        
connection with the assumption of the Credit Agreement, and, warrants issued to 
GAP and subsequently acquired by Infogrames SA concurrent with the Infogrames SA
transaction on December 16, 1999.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,    
1998                                                                            

Net revenues for fiscal 1999 increased approximately $29.3 million, or
5.4%, to $572.3 million from $543.1 million in fiscal 1998. This growth in net  
revenues was attributable to increases in net revenues of Children's publishing,
Leisure publishing and Distribution of $23.2 million, or 108%, $12.5 million, or
39%, and $12.3 million, or 5%, respectively. The increase in Children's net     
revenue is attributable to the release of Blue's Clues related titles during    
fiscal 1999. The increase in Leisure's net revenue is attributable to the       
increased and continuing success of Deer Hunter, Deer Hunter II and Rocky       
Mountain Trophy Hunter. The increase in Distribution net revenues for fiscal    
1999 is primarily due to an increase in the number of stores supplied and       
serviced by the Company.                                                        

     These increases are offset by a reduction in Frontline net revenue of $18.7
million, or 8%. The decrease is largely attributable to a $13.5 million, or 71% 
decrease in royalty income.                                                     

   Cost of goods sold for fiscal 1999 increased approximately $15.6 million,
or 5.0%, to $330.0 million from $314.3 million in fiscal 1998. Cost of goods    
sold as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 57.7% in fiscal 1999 as       
compared to 57.9% in fiscal 1998. Excluding increased charges for obsolete      
inventory between the periods, the cost of goods percentage would have been     
55.4% of net revenue in fiscal 1999. This decrease is primarily a result of     
increased sales in the Children's and Leisure categories of publishing.         

Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses,
sales and distribution labor expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and   
distribution facilities costs. During fiscal 1999, these expenses increased     
approximately $40.9 million, or 38.3%, to $147.5 million from $106.7 million in 
fiscal 1998. Selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of net revenues  
for fiscal 1999 increased to 25.8% as compared to 19.6% in fiscal 1998. The     
increase, as a percentage of net revenues, was primarily attributable to the    
increase of print advertising worldwide to support the new and existing releases
of the Company's published product and increased cooperative advertising, and   
increased premium freight costs due to higher unit volume and the expense of    
consolidating inventory of the Company's Plymouth, MN distribution center into  
its Edison, NJ distribution center, as compared to fiscal 1998. The overall     
increase was also attributable to increased sales volume.                       

   General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel expenses,
facilities costs, professional expenses and other overhead charges. These       
expenses in fiscal 1999 increased approximately $19.0 million, or 40%, to $66.6 
million from $47.6 million in fiscal 1998. General and administrative expenses  
as a percentage of net revenues increased to 11.6% in fiscal 1999 from 8.8% in  
fiscal 1998. This increase was due primarily to increased depreciation          
associated with the expansion of the Company's worldwide facilities and the     
implementation of enterprise software to enhance the Company's management       
information systems worldwide, the increase in bad debt expenses, additional    
legal and accounting fees incurred as part of the discontinued private placement
of senior subordinated debt and the write-off of an equity investment.          

     Research and development primarily includes payment for royalty advances to
third-party developers on products that are currently in development and direct 
costs of internally developing and producing a title such as salaries and other 
related costs. These expenses in fiscal 1999 increased approximately $54.6      
million, or 244.8%, to $76.9 million from $22.3 million in fiscal 1998. Research
and development, as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 13.4% in fiscal  
1999 from 4.1% in fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily due to the change in  
accounting effective January 1, 1998, whereby royalty advances on products that 
are currently in development are expensed as incurred, and the additional       
headcount attributable to increased in-house development capacity. Research and 
development of the Company's internal development studios, which, during the    
relevant periods, primarily included SingleTrac, Cavedog, Humongous, Legend,    
Reflections and Bootprint increased to $34.9 in fiscal 1999 from $17.6 million  
in fiscal 1998. Excluding the impact of the change in accounting, research and  
development expenses would have increased $28.2 million from $48.7 million to   
$76.9 million, or 58%.                                                          

Restructuring charges of approximately $17.5 million, recorded in the 
fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, relate to a reorganization of the Company's      
Frontline publishing business, a contemplated relocation of corporate           
headquarters to California and outsourcing of the Company's distribution        
function. Approximately $9.8

million relates to the planned severance of 135 employees, $7.1 million relates 
to impaired assets and $0.6 million relates to rent for the transition period.  
This reorganization was announced on March 19, 1999, and management expects to  
complete the reorganization by March 19, 2000.                                  

 The charge for royalty advance write-off of $73.8 million during fiscal
1998 represents a change in estimate and accounting whereby royalty advances on 
products that were currently in development or on sale were expensed. In        
connection with this change, the Company prospectively expensed royalty advances
in a manner comparable with internal software development costs, which are      
expensed to research and development as incurred.                               

In connection with the acquisitions of SingleTrac in October 1997 and 
Reflections in December 1998, the Company incurred charges of $11.0 million and 
$5.0 million, respectively, for purchased research and development. In addition,
the Company incurred a charge of $2.4 million and $1.7 million in fiscal 1998   
and fiscal 1999, respectively, for a retention bonus for the SingleTrac         
employees, which was based on the achievement of certain performance goals.     

Merger costs consist of legal, accounting and other professional fees 
incurred by the Company for the canceled acquisition of MicroProse, Inc., during
fiscal 1998.                                                                    

     Amortization of goodwill increased approximately $1.8 million, or 111.4% in
fiscal 1999, to $3.3 million from $1.6 million in fiscal 1998. This increase is 
attributable to the purchases of Reflections, Homesoft, Prism and Legend in     
fiscal 1999.                                                                    

 Interest and other expenses increased approximately $1.6 million during
fiscal 1999 to $5.3 million from $3.7 million in fiscal 1998. This increase was 
primarily attributable to the increase in interest costs associated with        
borrowings under the Company's then existing Revolving Credit Agreement.        

     The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 1999 was 36% compared to 30% in
fiscal 1998. The increased rate is attributable to the lower proportion of      
non-deductible expenses, primarily purchased research and development and       
goodwill, in 1999.                                                              

   In February 1999, certain partnerships affiliated with GAP purchased from
the Company 0.6 million shares of the Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase 
price of $30.0 million. These shares of Preferred Stock accumulated dividends at
8.0% and were convertible into 6.0 million shares of Common Stock at a          
conversion price of $5 per share.                                               

    The Preferred Stock was exchanged for convertible notes in connection with
the Infogrames SA transaction in December 1999. See Note 2 in the Consolidated  
Financial Statements included herein.                                           

  Pursuant to APB 30, the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company
reflect the planned disposal of OZM as a discontinued operation. Accordingly,   
the revenues, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of this
business have been excluded from the respective captions in the Consolidated    
Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements  
of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and have been
reported through its planned date of disposition as "Loss from discontinued     
operations." As of March 31, 1999, OZM is accounted for as a discontinued       
operation and it is the Company's present intention to sell OZM, resulting in an
anticipated loss from discontinued operations of $19.0 million. The loss from   
operations of OZM represents net expenses of $4.6 million on net revenues of    
$1.1 million. The loss on disposal of OZM includes a provision of $5.0 million  
for operating losses during the phase-out period, and is primarily attributable 
to the write-off of goodwill of approximately $18.3 million. There is no tax    
benefit recorded on the loss from discontinued operations, as OZM has           
historically generated net losses.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 

   Net revenues for 1998 increased approximately $12.4 million, or 13.3%, to
$105.8 million from $93.4 million in the comparable 1997 period. This growth in 
net revenues was primarily attributable to a 49% increase in publishing revenue 
which includes Frontline, Children's and Leisure. Frontline net revenue         
increased $9.4 million, or 36%, from $26.4 million to $35.9 million, as a result
of the sales of Duke Nukem titles for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and the PC,  
Hexen for Nintendo 64, OddWorld: Abe's Oddysee for the PlayStation, Total       
Annihilation for the PC, East Meets West, and Quake for Nintendo 64,            
internationally. Leisure publishing's net revenue increased $4.1 million, or    
103% as a result of continued strong sales of Deer Hunter and Wild Turkey Hunt  
for the PC. Children's net revenue increased $2.6 million or 120% as a result of
newly released titles such as Freddi Fish 3: The Case of the Stolen Conch Shell.
The overall increase in net revenues was partially offset by the decrease in    
distribution net revenues to $57.1 million, or 54% of net revenues, in 1998 from
$60.8 million, or 65% of net revenues, in the comparable 1997 period, as a      
result of Wal-Mart purchasing software directly from several publishers whose   
software was previously sold to Wal-Mart by the Company.                        

    Cost of goods sold primarily includes costs of purchased products. Cost of
goods sold for 1998 decreased approximately $0.8 million, or 1.4%, to $57.1     
million from $57.9 million in the comparable 1997 period. Cost of goods sold as 
a percentage of net revenues decreased to 54.0% in 1998 as compared to 62.0% in 
the comparable 1997 period. The decrease, as a percentage of net revenues, was  
primarily due to the Company's change in accounting with respect to royalty     
advances, resulting in the expensing of such advances to research and           
development as incurred, rather than recouping such advances based on sales.    
Additionally, the Company's overall sales mix of its published product, which   
generally have higher margins, increased to 46% of net revenues in 1998 compared
to 35% in the comparable 1997 period. The decrease in cost of goods sold was    
partially offset by the higher sales of console titles, which generally have    
higher costs than PC titles. Console titles accounted for 45% of published      
product revenue in 1998 compared to 17% during the comparable 1997 period.      

Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses,
sales and distribution labor expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and   
distribution facilities costs. During 1998 these expenses increased             
approximately $7.9 million, or 47.9%, to $24.5 million from $16.5 million in the
comparable 1997 period. Selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of net
revenues for 1998 increased to 23.1% as compared to 17.7% in the comparable 1997
period. The increase, as a percentage of net revenues, was primarily            
attributable to the increase of print advertising worldwide to support the new  
and existing releases of the Company's published product and increased          
cooperative advertising associated with higher published Frontline revenues as  
compared to the comparable 1997 period. The overall increase was also           
attributable to increased sales volume.                                         

   General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel expenses,
facilities costs, professional expenses and other overhead charges. These       
expenses in 1998 increased approximately $2.0 million, or 23.6%, to $10.7       
million from $8.6 million in the comparable 1997 period. General and            
administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 10.1% in   
1998 from 9.2% in the comparable 1997 period. This increase was due primarily to
additional personnel required to support the expansion of the Company's         
publishing operations and the related amortization associated with the expansion
of the Company's worldwide facilities and the implementation of enterprise      
software to enhance the Company's management information systems worldwide.     

 Research and development expenses primarily include payment for royalty
advances to third party developers on products that are currently in development
and direct costs of internally developing and producing a title such as salaries
and other related costs. These expenses in 1998 increased approximately $8.5    
million, or 353.3%, to $10.9 million from $2.4 million in the comparable 1997   
period. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues       
increased to 10.3% in 1998 from 2.6% in the comparable 1997 period. This        
increase is primarily due to the change in accounting effective for the three   
months ended March 31, 1998, whereby royalty advances on products that are      
currently in development or on

sale are expensed as incurred, and the additional headcount attributable to     
increased in-house development capacity primarily the result of the SingleTrac  
acquisition.                                                                    

Interest and other income (expense), net, decreased approximately $1.6
million during 1998 to an expense of $1.4 million from income of $0.2 million in
the comparable 1997 period. This decrease was primarily attributable to the     
decrease in short-term investments and the increase in interest costs associated
with borrowings under the Company's credit agreement.                           

  The Company's effective tax rate for 1998 was 46% compared to 43% in the
comparable 1997 period. The increase is attributable to the higher proportion of
nondeductible expenses, primarily goodwill, in the current period.              

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER  
31, 1996                                                                        

  Net revenues increased approximately $165.2 million, or 45.2%, to $530.7
million in 1997 from $365.5 million in 1996. Publishing's net revenues increased
by $113.3 million from $152.4 million to $265.7 million or 74%. This growth in  
net revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in Frontline net revenue 
of $100.9 from $120.5 million to $221.4 million or 84%. The release of newly    
published titles, both domestically and internationally, which included         
OddWorld: Abe's Oddysee for the PlayStation, Duke Nukem 3D for Nintendo 64 and  
the PlayStation, Hexen for Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation and Total            
Annihilation for the PC. The international release of Doom II, Mortal Kombat    
Trilogy, San Francisco Rush, NBA Hangtime and Mace for Nintendo 64, the domestic
release of Shadow Warrior for the PC, Critical Depth for the PlayStation, Blood 
for the PC and Courier Crisis for the PlayStation, as well as the continuing    
strong sales of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake and an increase in royalty income (from 
licensing of certain of the Company's products in selected international        
markets) also contributed to the growth in net revenues. Children's net revenue 
increased $5.6 million from $11.1 million to $16.7 million or 50% primarily as a
result of the release of Putt Putt(R) Travels Through Time(TM). Leisure's net   
revenue increased $6.8 million, from $20.8 million to $27.6 million, or 33%, as 
a result of increased sales of Deer Hunter, Sportsmen's Paradise and Duke 3D    
shareware. Distribution's net revenue increased $53.0 million from $213 million 
to $265 million, or 25%, as a result of increases in sales from its existing    
mass merchant shelf space and an increase in the number of mass merchant stores 
supplied and serviced by the Company. This increase was partially offset by the 
reduction in revenues resulting from Wal-Mart's decision in the second half of  
1997 to purchase products directly from five publishers whose products had been 
previously distributed by the Company.                                          

Cost of goods sold primarily includes costs of purchased products and 
royalties paid to software developers. Cost of goods sold increased             
approximately $100.6 million, or 46.9%, to $315.1 million in 1997 from $214.6   
million in 1996. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues increased to
59.4% in 1997 as compared to 58.7% in 1996. The increase of 0.7% was primarily  
due to the decline in the average wholesale price of the Company's value priced 
products and an increase in the sales of Nintendo 64 titles, which have lower   
margins. This increase was mostly offset by a shift in the Company's overall    
sales mix toward its published products which increased to an aggregate of      
approximately 50% of net revenue in 1997 compared to approximately 42% during   
1996 and a change in product mix within the products distributed for third      
parties to higher margin products.                                              

Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses,
sales and distribution labor expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and   
distribution facilities costs. These expenses increased approximately $26.2     
million, or 36.1%, to $98.7 million in 1997 from $72.5 million in 1996. The     
increase is attributable to the overall increase in sales volume. Selling and   
distribution expenses as a percentage of net revenues for 1997 decreased to     
18.6% as compared to 19.9% for 1996. This decrease was primarily attributable to
the reduction of freight as a percentage of net revenues and the Company        
realizing greater economies of scale.                                           

   General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel expenses,
facilities costs, professional expenses and other overhead charges. These       
expenses in 1997 increased approximately $14.4 million, or 46.2%, to $45.6      
million in 1997 from $31.2 million in 1996. General and administrative expenses 
as a percentage of net revenues increased to 8.6% in 1997 from 8.5% in 1996.    
This increase was due primarily to

additional personnel required to support the expansion of the Company's         
research, development and publishing operations, an increase in the reserve for 
bad debts and an increase in depreciation expense due to the write-off of the   
leasehold improvements at the Company's former headquarters.                    

Research and development expenses primarily include direct costs of   
developing and producing a title such as salaries and other related costs. These
expenses in 1997 increased approximately $8.2 million, or 145.4%, to $13.8      
million from $5.6 million in 1996. Research and development expenses as a       
percentage of net revenues increased to 2.6% in 1997 from 1.5% in 1996. This    
increase is primarily due to the in-house development of Humongous titles.      

The charge for royalty advance write-off of $73.8 million during 1997 
represents a change in estimate and accounting whereby royalty advances on      
products that are currently in development or on sale were expensed. In         
connection with this change, the Company will prospectively expense royalty     
advances in a manner comparable with internal software development costs, which 
are expensed as incurred.                                                       

  In connection with the acquisition of SingleTrac, the Company incurred a
charge of $11.0 million for purchased research and development. In addition, the
Company incurred a charge of $2.4 million for a retention bonus for the         
SingleTrac employees, which was based on the achievement of certain performance 
goals. Pursuant to the SingleTrac purchase agreement, the Company structured a  
retention oriented bonus pool of up to approximately $10.0 million in cash and  
Common Stock, which was distributed to SingleTrac employees based on the        
achievement of certain performance goals of SingleTrac during calendar year     
1998.                                                                           

Merger costs consist of legal, accounting and other professional fees 
incurred by the Company for the canceled acquisition of MicroProse, Inc., during
1997 and to complete other acquisitions and for the Company's canceled secondary
stock offering during 1996.                                                     

Interest and other income (expense), net, decreased approximately $6.0
million during 1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in
short-term investments and cash balances and the interest costs associated with 
borrowings under the Company credit agreement.                                  

     The Company's effective tax rate, as a percentage of pre-tax income (loss),
decreased in 1997 to 27% compared to 38% in 1996 due to the non-deductible      
one-time charge related to the acquisition of in-process research and           
development during the year.                                                    

   For 1997, the net loss was $25.0 million, or $0.37 per share, compared to
net income of $25.1 million, or $0.38 per share for 1996, with earnings per     
share for both 1997 and 1996 calculated based on the basic method. Excluding    
one-time charges resulting from the charge for the royalty advance expense,     
purchased research and development, the retention bonus for the SingleTrac      
employees and the merger costs, the Company would have recognized net income of 
$33.9 million or $0.51 per share. Exclusive of the one-time charge for merger   
costs, net income for 1996 would have been $27.3 million or $0.40 per share.    

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES                                                 

  As of March 31, 2000, the Company's working capital was ($104.8) million
compared to $131.8 million at March 31, 1999. Cash and cash equivalents were    
$19.6 million at March 31, 2000 compared to $13.4 million at March 31, 1999.    

   During the twelve months ended March 31, 2000, $71.8 million was provided
by financing activities. The Company repaid $27.1 million of its revolving line 
of credit and entered into various commitments with Infogrames SA and GAP, as   
further described below, for aggregate borrowing proceeds of $80.0 million. The 
cash flow from financing activities primarily was used to fund $57.5 million for
net cash used in operating activities which resulted from operating losses, and 
a reduction in the accounts payable balance (for past due accounts). This was   
offset by a decline in receivables due to a reduction in volume of revenues and 
the write-off of aging customer chargebacks relating to price protection, co-op 
advertising and uncollectible accounts. Approximately $8.9 million in cash was  
used in investing activities to purchase property and equipment, primarily

   The Company does not currently have any material commitments with respect
to any capital expenditures.                                                    

    On January 21, 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement
(as amended, the "Old Credit Agreement") with certain banks expiring on December
31, 1998. On September 11, 1998, the borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement  
were repaid and the Old Credit Agreement was terminated.                        

    Simultaneously, on September 11, 1998, the Company entered into the Credit
Agreement with First Union National Bank, as agent for the syndicate of Banks,  
as subsequently amended, expiring on March 31, 2000. Under the Credit Agreement,
the Company borrowed approximately $71 million for ongoing working capital      
requirements, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes, secured by
domestic accounts receivable and inventory and other assets of the Company. To  
induce the Banks to amend the Credit Agreement, the Company issued the Banks    
warrants to purchase, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, an aggregate of  
750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Of these, warrants to purchase    
275,000 shares of Common Stock were immediately exercisable, warrants to        
purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock became exercisable on October 31, 1999  
and warrants to purchase the remaining 225,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Bank
Warrants") became exercisable on February 28, 2000 if the Credit Agreement was  
not repaid prior to that date.                                                  

   As of February 15, 2000, Infogrames SA entered into an agreement with the
Banks, pursuant to which Infogrames SA assumed the Banks' interest in the Credit
Agreement. In connection with the assumption by Infogrames SA of the Credit     
Agreement, (i) the maturity date was extended from March 31, 2000 to June 30,   
2000, (ii) the interest rate, which was the Prime Rate plus 1.0% or LIBOR plus  
2.5% at the option of the Company, was set at LIBOR plus 2.5%, (iii) a $250,000 
amendment fee, which would have been payable to the Banks on March 31, 2000     
unless the Credit Agreement was refinanced by February 16, 2000, was reduced to 
$125,000 and paid to Infogrames SA, (iv) certain mandatory prepayment           
restrictions and operational covenants were revised to be less restrictive and  
(v) revisions were made to provide alternative letter of credit facilities to   
the Company. In addition, in connection with the assumption of the Credit       
Agreement by Infogrames SA, the Bank Warrants were surrendered and canceled and 
warrants to acquire 225,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of     
$0.01 per share, were issued to Infogrames SA.                                  

    At March 31, 2000, the Company had outstanding debt of approximately $71.7
million, representing borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and letters of     
credit amounting to approximately $1.6 million.                                 

On June 29, 2000, Infogrames SA and the Company amended the Credit    
Agreement to increase the aggregate commitment available under the facility to  
$125 million and to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2000.             

   Additionally, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, the ultimate resolution of which    
management believes will not be material to the Company's results of operations 
or financial condition.                                                         

    The Company expects continued volatility in the use of cash due to varying
seasonal, receivable payment cycles and quarterly working capital needs to      
finance its publishing businesses and corporate plan of reorganization.         

  The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, cash  
available under the Credit Agreement and continued financial support from       
Infogrames SA will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations and cash flows
into the second quarter of fiscal 2001.                                         

   The Company is also party to various litigations arising in the course of
its business, the resolution of none of which, the Company believes, will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition and     
results of operations.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD               

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), establishes    
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging   
activities. It requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets 
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those         
instruments at fair value. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 in fiscal 2001,  
in accordance with the deferral provision in SFAS No. 137. The adoption of SFAS 
No. 133 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.  

EURO CONVERSION                                                                 

As part of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), a single   
currency (the "Euro") will replace the national currencies of most of the       
European countries in which the Company conducts business. The conversion rates 
between the Euro and the participating nations' currencies have been fixed      
irrevocably as of January 1, 1999, with the participating national currencies   
being removed from circulation between January 1, and June 30, 2002 and replaced
by Euro notes and coinage. During the "transition period" from January 1, 1999  
through December 31, 2001, public and private entities as well as individuals   
may pay for goods and services using either checks, drafts, or wire transfers   
denominated in Euro or the participating country's national currency.           

    Under the regulations governing the transition to a single currency, there
is a "no compulsion, no prohibition" rule which states that no one is obliged to
utilize the Euro until the notes and coinge have been introduced on January 1,  
2002. In keeping with this rule, the Company is Euro "compliant" (able to       
receive Euro denominated payments and able to invoice in Euro as requested by   
vendors and suppliers, respectively) as of January 1, 1999 in the affected      
countries. Full conversion of all affected country operations to Euro is        
expected to be completed by the time national currencies are removed from       
circulation. Phased conversion to the Euro is currently underway and the effects
on revenues costs and various business strategies are being assessed. The cost  
of software and business process conversion is not expected to be material.     

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE                                                            

    To date, no significant problems related to Year 2000 have been identified
in the Company's internal systems or with its vendors, suppliers, service       
providers or customers that would materially impact the Company's business.     
Also, no Year 2000 issues have been identified with the internally developed or 
third-party products that the Company distributes.                              

Although the Company does not expect any significant future Year 2000 
related failures or malfunctions, the Company will continue to monitor its      
internal systems and work closely with its suppliers, service providers and     
customers to seek to avoid any material interruptions in its business.          

  The Company has spent $0.8 million for the cost of upgrading, replacing,
testing and implementing its Year 2000 compliance plan. No further expenditures 
are currently expected.                                                         

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK            

Due to the global nature of the Company's operations, the Company is  
subject to the exposures that arise from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The
Company's objective in managing its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is
to minimize net earnings volatility associated with foreign exchange rate       
changes. The Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts 
to hedge foreign currency transactions which are primarily related to certain   
receivables denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's hedging activities 
do not subject it to exchange rate risk because gains and losses on these       
contracts offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions   
being hedged.                                                                   

The Company is not exposed to material future earnings or cash flow   
exposures from changes in interest rates on long-term obligations since the     
majority of the Company's long-term obligations are at fixed rates.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND        
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE                                                            

  On March 20, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors appointed Deloitte &
Touche LLP as its independent accountants, replacing Arthur Andersen LLP (the   
"Former Accountants").                                                          

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, there were no      
disagreements with the Former Accountants on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,   
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former          
Accountants, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of  
the disagreement in their report. None of the Former Accountants' reports on the
Company's financial statements for either of the past two years contained an    
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to    
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.                             

In addition, there were no reportable events in accordance with Item  
304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K.                                          

A letter from the Former Accountants addressed to the Securities and  
Exchange Commission in accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating
that they agree with the Registrant's response to Item 4 of the Registrant's    
Current Report on Form 8-K, dated March 20, 2000, is filed as an exhibit hereto.

INFOGRAMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of                                   
Infogrames, Inc.                                                                
New York, New York                                                              

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Infogrames,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2000 and the related  
consolidated statement of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders'
equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2000. Our audit    
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14.  
These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the financial statement 
schedule based on our audit.                                                    

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan  
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial    
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall     
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a          
reasonable basis for our opinion.                                               

   In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Infogrames, Inc.  
and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and the consolidated results of their 
operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2000 in conformity 
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  
Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in     
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,       
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.   

As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the  
Company changed its method of accounting for future royalty advances effective  
January 1, 1998, treating such costs as research and development expenses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders of                                                          
Infogrames, Inc. and subsidiaries:                                              

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Infogrames,
formerly GT Interactive Software Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries
as of March 31, 1998 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of        
operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash
flows for year ended December 31, 1997, for the three months ended March 31,    
1998 and for the year ended March 31, 1999. These financial statements are the  
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.                      

 We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform 
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An 
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant    
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial       
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis   
for our opinion.                                                                

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Infogrames, Inc. and        
subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999 and the results of their operations and cash  
flows for the year ended December 31, 1997, for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and for the year ended March 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting       
principles generally accepted in the United States.                             

 Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index to the  
financial statements and supplementary data is presented for purposes of        
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our  
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to  
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a   
whole.                                                                          

                       ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

NEW YORK, NEW YORK                                                              
JUNE 29, 1999                                                                   
(except with respect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 23, as to     
which the date is June 29, 2000)

INFOGRAMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 

NOTE 1 -- OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES             

Nature of Business                                                          

Infogrames, Inc., formerly GT Interactive Software Corp., a Delaware  
corporation (the "Company"), is a leading worldwide developer, publisher and    
distributor of interactive entertainment software for use on various platforms, 
including PCs, Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64. The Company derives its        
revenues primarily from the sale of its created, published, licensed and        
purchased products to mass merchants, specialty software stores, computer       
superstores and distributors located throughout North America and also in       
various international locations. The Company was incorporated in September 1992 
and commenced operations in February 1993. The Company has relied on support    
from its parent, Infogrames Entertainment SA ("Infogrames SA") in the recent    
past. The Company believes that it is Infogrames SA's present intention to      
continue such support as Infogrames SA deems necessary to fund operations and   
cash flows for the next twelve months.                                          

Principles of Consolidation                                                 

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances   
have been eliminated.                                                           

Revenue Recognition                                                         

 Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise to customers. At the
time the revenue is recognized, a reserve is provided for expected future       
returns net of the related cost of such items.                                  

 The Company is generally not contractually obligated to accept returns,
except for defective product. However, the Company may permit its customers to  
return or exchange product and may provide pricing allowance for estimated      
returns, price concessions and other allowances. Such allowance is reflected as 
a reduction to accounts receivable when the Company expects to grant credits for
such items.                                                                     

Cash and Cash Equivalents                                                   

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and highly liquid, 
short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the  
date acquired.                                                                  

Inventories                                                                 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (based upon the first-in, 
first-out method) or market. Allowances are established (and reassessed         
quarterly) to reduce the recorded cost of obsolete inventory and slow moving    
inventory to its net realizable value.                                          

Royalty Advances                                                            

  During the fourth quarter of 1997, the convergence of marketplace forces
led the Company to reconsider its royalty advance evaluation process. Rapid     
technological innovation, shelf-space competition, shorter product life cycles  
and buyer selectivity have made it extremely difficult to determine the         
likelihood of individual product acceptance and success. As a result, the       
Company expensed royalty advances of $73,821 on products that were in           
development or on sale as of December 31, 1997. The Company has, effective      
January 1, 1998, changed its accounting for future royalty advances, treating   
such costs as research and development expenses, which are expensed as incurred.
These changes created symmetry in accounting for both internally and externally 
developed products. Multi-year output advances are expensed over the development
periods, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 

Goodwill                                                                    

     Goodwill is currently amortized using the straight-line method over periods
not exceeding 5 years. Management reassesses quarterly the appropriateness of   
both the carrying value and remaining life of goodwill, principally based on    
forecasts of future undiscounted cash flows of businesses acquired. See Note 21 
for information concerning the restructuring reserve, and related impairment    
write offs of goodwill.                                                         

Property and Equipment                                                      

    Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which   
range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the 
straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful 
lives of the related assets.                                                    

Income Taxes                                                                

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial    
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the 
use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this 
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences 
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are     
measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the       
differences are expected to reverse.                                            

Fair Values of Financial Instruments                                        

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosure About Fair
Value of Financial instruments" requires certain disclosures regarding the fair 
value of financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, 
accounts payable, accrued liabilities, royalties payable, revolving credit      
facility and amounts due to and from related parties are reflected in the       
consolidated financial statements at fair value because of the short-term       
maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt closely         
approximates its carrying value. The Company uses quoted market prices to       
calculate these fair values, when available.                                    

Investments                                                                 

  Management classifies equity securities as available-for-sale securities
under the provisions defined in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."    
Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the  
time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. 
Available-for-sale securities are carried at market value with the unrealized   
gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive income.   
The cost of investments sold is determined on the first-in, first-out method.   

  The Company also maintains equity investments under 20 percent on a cost
basis. The Company evaluates these investments for impairment on a quarterly    
basis (See Note 6).                                                             

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets                                             

 The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as fixed assets and certain
indentifiable intangibles to be held and used or disposed of, for impairment    
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows,         
undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the      
asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying     
amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, as defined in Statement of Financial

Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived      
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."                            

Research and Development Costs                                              

Research and development costs related to the design, development and 
testing of new software products are charged to expense as incurred. Effective  
January 1, 1998, research and development costs also include payments for       
royalty advances to third-party developers on products that are currently in    
development.                                                                    

Advertising Expenses                                                        

 Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the
year ended December 31, 1997, the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the     
years ended March 31, 1999 and 2000 amounted to $32,034, $7,889, $49,107 and    
$64,044, respectively.                                                          

Foreign Currency                                                            

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries have been translated at
year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses have been translated at    
average exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting cumulative          
translation adjustments have been recorded as accumulated comprehensive (loss)  
income.                                                                         

New Accounting Pronouncements                                               

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), establishes    
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging   
activities. It requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets 
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those         
instruments at fair value. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 in the first     
quarter of fiscal 2001, in accordance with the deferral provision in SFAS No.   
137. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on the        
Company's financial statements.                                                 

Reclassifications                                                           

   Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated
financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current period.  

Net Income (Loss) Per Share                                                 

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed as net earnings after    
preferred dividends divided by the weighted-average number of common shares     
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that    
could occur from common shares issuable through stock-based compensation plans  
including stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and other convertible
securities using the treasury stock method. The convertible debt, warrants and  
all shares issuable under stock based compensation plans would be anti-dilutive 
and therefore have not been considered in the diluted EPS calculation in fiscal 
1999 and 2000.                                                                  

Discontinued Operations                                                     

Pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the 
Results of Operations -- Reporting Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a        
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and      
Transactions" ("APB 30"), the consolidated financial statements of the Company  
reflect the disposal of OZM as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the       
revenues, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of this    
business have been excluded from the respective captions in the

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 

Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,   
and have been reported through its date of disposition as "Loss from            
discontinued operations." The net assets of OZM of $1.0 million are included in 
prepaid expenses and other current assets.                                      

Use of Estimates                                                            

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally  
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and        
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and      
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial   
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the         
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.             

Fiscal Year                                                                 

 Effective January 1, 1998, the Company changed its fiscal year end from
December 31 to March 31. Accordingly, the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998      
represents three months of operations (See Note 23).                            

NOTE 2 -- PURCHASE OF MAJORITY INTEREST BY INFOGRAMES SA                        

As of December 31, 1999, Infogrames SA and subsidiaries purchased     
approximately 60 percent of the voting stock of the Company through the         
following transactions:                                                         

- On November 15, 1999, Infogrames SA purchased from the Company a $25

- On December 16, 1999, the Company consummated the following of      
      transactions with Infogrames SA and certain partnerships affiliated with

  - Infogrames SA purchased 6,712 shares of common stock from the founding
     Cayre family for $25.0 million and also purchased from the Cayre family

     - Infogrames SA purchased 5,714 shares of Common Stock from the Company for

 5% subordinated convertible note of the Company in exchange for $25
    million in cash, the Cayre Notes, the Short-Term Note and $0.6 million
       accrued interest. The new 5% subordinated convertible note is convertible
into common stock at $9.25 per share.                             

  - The Company issued to GAP $50 million principal amount of non-interest
  bearing subordinated convertible notes in exchange for 600 shares of

     - Infogrames SA acquired from GAP warrants to purchase 900 shares of common
       stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, for nominal

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 

  The Company has relied on support from its parent, Infogrames SA, in the
recent past. The Company believes that it is Infogrames SA's present intention  
to continue such support as Infogrames SA deems necessary to fund operations and
cash flows for the next twelve months.                                          

NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS                                                          

    In January 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of Premier Promotion Limited, the parent company of One Stop Direct Limited, for
approximately $0.4 million in cash. This transaction was accounted for as a     
purchase.                                                                       

In October 1997, the Company acquired SingleTrac Entertainment        
Technologies, Inc. ("SingleTrac"), a software developer, for cash and stock.    
Total consideration, including acquisition costs, was approximately $14.7       
million, of which $5.4 million was cash and the balance of the purchase price   
was the issuance of 0.1 million newly issued shares of the Company's common     
stock and the assumption of approximately 0.1 million stock options. The        
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was allocated to
net assets acquired, purchased in-process research and development ("R&D"), and 
goodwill and other intangibles. Purchased in-process R&D includes the value of  
products in the development stage and not considered to have reached            
technological feasibility and was, therefore, expensed. Accordingly, $11,008 of 
acquisition cost was expensed in the fourth quarter of 1997. In connection with 
the acquisition of SingleTrac on October 15, 1997, the Company issued           
approximately 146 shares of its common stock and assumed approximately 61 stock 
options.                                                                        

 In November 1998, the Company acquired One Zero Media, Inc. ("OZM"), an
Internet entertainment content company, in exchange for approximately 0.5       
million newly issued shares of the Company's common stock and approximately 0.1 
million stock options to purchase the Company's common stock. Total             
consideration, including acquisition costs, was approximately $17.2 million,    
which was allocated to net assets acquired and goodwill. The acquisition was    
accounted for as a purchase, because it was the Company's intention to sell an  
ownership interest in OZM. At March 31, 1999, the Company decided to sell OZM   
within the next six months and therefore OZM is accounted for as a discontinued 
operation. OZM was sold in July 1999. This resulted in a loss from discontinued 
operations of $19.5 million, $0.5 million of which is recognized in the current 
fiscal year. In connection with the acquisition of OZM on November 4, 1998, the 
Company issued approximately 458 shares of its common stock and assumed         
approximately 117 stock options.                                                

In December 1998, the Company acquired Reflections Interactive Limited
("Reflections"), a developer of interactive entertainment software for computer 
games, in exchange for approximately 0.46 million newly issued shares of the    
Company's common stock. Total consideration, including acquisition costs, was   
approximately $13.5 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.   
The purchase price was allocated to net assets acquired, purchased in-process   
R&D and goodwill. Accordingly, $5.0 million of acquisition cost was expensed in 
the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Additionally, the Company acquired Prism   
Leisure Tontragervertriebs GmbH ("Prism"), a distributor of value-priced        
software based in Germany, for nominal consideration. The acquisition was       
accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was allocated to net assets     
acquired and goodwill. In connection with the acquisition of Reflections on     
December 23, 1998, the Company issued approximately 457 shares of its common    
stock.                                                                          

     In December 1998, the Company formed GT Interactive European Holdings B.V.,
a European holding company, which acquired all of the outstanding capital stock 
of Home Software Benelux B.V. ("Homesoft"), a distributor of entertainment      
software, for approximately $1.0 million in cash. The acquisition was accounted 
for as a purchase.                                                              

    In December 1998, the Company purchased the assets of Legend Entertainment
Company ("Legend"), a developer of entertainment software. Total consideration, 
including acquisition costs, was approximately $2.0

million. The purchase price was allocated to goodwill. In connection with the   
asset purchase of Legend on December 22, 1998, the Company issued approximately 
9 shares of its common stock. These shares are restricted from being sold until 
no later than December 22, 2002.

Included in the obsolescence reserve at March 31, 2000 is an aggregate
charge of approximately $56.0 million recorded in the current year relating to  
management's decision to focus on certain product lines and exit others. This   
charge is recorded in cost of sales and is part of the restructuring and        
reorganization of the Company. See Note 21 for additional information relating  
to the restructuring of the Company's operations.                               

NOTE 6 -- INVESTMENTS                                                           

In 1995, the Company invested $63 in Zomax Incorporated ("Zomax"), an 
outsource provider of process management services to software publishers,       
computer manufacturers and other producers of multimedia products. As of March  
31, 2000 the Company held approximately 31 shares of Zomax at a market price of 
$60.25 per share.                                                               

In 1996, the Company purchased for approximately $2,676 in cash a 9.9%
investment in, and entered into a multi-titled publishing agreement with Mirage,
a U.K. developer of entertainment software. Since the total of the expected     
future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the investment, the       
Company recognized a loss of $2,676 on its investment during fiscal 1999.

As of March 31, 2000, the Company has combined net operating loss     
carryforwards of $238,503 for tax purposes. These loss carryforwards are        
available to offset future taxable income and will expire beginning in the years
2011 through 2019. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, when there is
an ownership change, the pre-ownership-change loss carryforwards are subject to 
an annual limitation which could reduce or defer the utilization of these       
losses.                                                                         

     The valuation allowance increased by $134,591 in fiscal 2000, consisting of
a valuation allowance of $48,806 for the beginning deferred tax asset balance   
and a valuation allowance of $85,785 for the net change in the deferred tax     
asset during the year. Such valuation allowance was necessary due to the current
year operating results and the terminated plans to sell certain of the Company's
businesses which would have resulted in the utilization of the deferred tax     
asset. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the net deferred tax
asset because it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized in
the foreseeable future.                                                         

  The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately
$2.0 million for the undistributed earnings of its 100 percent-owned foreign    
subsidiaries that arose in fiscal 2000 and prior years as the Company currently 
does not expect those unremitted earnings to reverse and become taxable to the  
Company in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax liability will be recognized  
when the Company expects that it will recover those undistributed earnings in a 
taxable manner. As of March 31, 2000, the undistributed earnings of these       
subsidiaries were approximately $4.9 million.                                   

NOTE 10 -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY                                                 

On November 12, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved an    
amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation    
(the "Charter Amendment"), which increases the total number of shares of        
authorized capital stock of the Company from 155 million shares to 305 million  
shares.

The Charter Amendment became effective on February 14, 2000. There is currently 
authorized 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock and 5,000 shares of the 
Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Refer to Note 2 for

majority interest in the Company.                                               

 As of December 31, 1997, March 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company had
warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of approximately 251, 251, 246 and
246 shares, respectively, of Common Stock to content-providers at exercise      
prices (ranging from $42.50 to $70.00) not less than the fair market value at   
the date of issue. Refer to Note 2 for stockholders' equity transactions        
relating to the purchase by Infogrames SA of a majority interest in the Company.

NOTE 11 -- STOCK OPTIONS                                                        

 The Company has two stock option plans which began in 1995 and in 1997,
(the "Plans"). The Company accounts for these Plans under Accounting Principles 
Board Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized.     

  Generally, under the Plans, options are granted to employees to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock at no less than the fair market value at   
the date of the grant, vest over a period of four or five years and are         
exercisable for a period of ten years from the grant date.                      

    A summary of the status of the Company's Plans at December 31, 1997, March
31, 1998, 1999 and 2000 and changes during the year ended December 31, 1997, the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 and 
2000 are as follows:

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average      
assumptions used for grants in the year ended December 31, 1997, the three      
months ended March 31, 1998 and the years ended March 31, 1999 and 2000: no     
dividends will be paid for the entire term of the option, expected volatility of
67.5% for 1997, the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended March  
31, 1999, and 81.0% for the year ended March 31, 2000, risk-free interest rates 
averaging 6.22% for 1997, 5.45% for the three months ended March 31, 1998, 4.74%

approximately $71 million for ongoing working capital requirements, letters of  
credit and other general corporate purposes, secured by domestic accounts

Company's Common Stock. Of these, warrants to purchase 55 shares of Common Stock

became exercisable on October 31, 1999 and warrants to purchase the remaining 45
shares of Common Stock (the "Bank Warrants") became exercisable on February 28,

dated November 28, 1995. Scavenger alleges that the Company, after paying $2.5  
million in advances and accepting delivery of gold master disks for two computer
games, refused to pay any more advances, including advances relating to the     
development of two additional games under the agreement. Scavenger is suing for 
the remaining advances ($4.3 million) and for future royalties ($5 million), and
also seeks consequential damages for allegedly being forced out of business     
($100 million) and losing contracts with unspecified third parties ($4 million) 
as a result of the Company's alleged breach. The Company filed an answer and    
counterclaim, in which it denies any liability to Scavenger and alleges, among  
other things, that the contract was lawfully terminated when Scavenger failed to
deliver the two remaining games after receiving from the Company written notice 
to cure its material breaches. By its counterclaim, the Company seeks damages   
and restitution for at least $5 million on grounds of breach of contract and    
unjust enrichment.                                                              

  By order entered March 3, 2000, the Court granted Scavenger's motion for
partial summary judgment on its claim for $1.9 million allegedly due on the two 
delivered games and judgment was entered on March 14, 2000 in the amount of     
$2,411 (reflecting pre-judgment interest on the claim). The Company posted a    
bond in the amount of the judgment and immediately appealed from this order and 
judgment to the Appellate Division, First Department. On June 8, 2000, the      
Appellate Division, First Department affirmed the order and judgment entered by 
the Supreme Court. The Company has moved for leave to appeal to the Court of    
Appeals. As of March 31, 2000 the Company accrued approximately $2.4 million    
related to this judgement.                                                      

In its order of March 3, 2000, the Court denied Scavenger's motion for
partial summary judgment seeking $2.4 million on the two games never delivered. 
In addition, the Court denied Scavenger's motion for leave to amend the         
complaint to add claims for fraud and seeking damages of $100 million.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 

 The Company moved for partial summary judgment seeking dismissal of the
claim for consequential damages ($75-125 million) and additional royalties ($5  
million). By order entered June 21, 2000, the Court denied the Company's motion 
and granted Scavenger leave to conduct an audit of royalties allegedly due to   
Scavenger.                                                                      

   In January, February and March 1998, ten substantially similar complaints
were filed against the Company, its former Chairman and its former Chief        
Executive Officer, and in certain actions, its former Chief Financial Officer,  
in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The           
plaintiffs, in general, purport to sue on behalf of a class of persons who      
purchased shares (and as to certain complaints, purchased call options or sold  
put options) of the Company during the period from August 1, 1996 through       
December 12, 1997. The plaintiffs allege that the Company violated the federal  
securities laws by making misrepresentations and omissions of material facts    
that allegedly artificially inflated the market price of the Company's common   
stock during the class period. The plaintiffs further allege that the Company   
failed to expense properly certain prepaid royalties for software products that 
had been terminated or had failed to achieve technological feasibility, or had  
insufficient sales to recoup the paid advances, which misstatements purportedly 
had the effect of overstating the Company's net income and net assets. Motions  
were made by certain groups of plaintiffs for their appointment as lead         
plaintiffs in the actions. On October 7, 1998, the Court appointed lead         
plaintiffs and lead counsel to the plaintiffs in the actions. The plaintiffs'   
consolidated and amended complaint was filed and served in early January 1999.  
By order dated January 23, 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave to file a    
second consolidated and amended complaint, which added claims under Section     
10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),  
and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act against the Company's former independent  
auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP. The Company and Arthur Andersen LLP each filed   
motions to dismiss the second consolidated and amended complaint. By order and  
opinion dated November 29, 1999 the Court granted the motion to dismiss.        
Plaintiffs have appealed from the dismissal of the action, and oral argument on 
the appeal was held on June 8, 2000. The Company believes that these complaints 
are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against these actions.

    On April 12, 1999, an action was commenced by the administrators for three
children who were murdered on December 1, 1997 by Michael Carneal at the Heath  
High School in McCracken County, Kentucky. The action was brought against 25    
defendants, including the Company and other corporations in the videogame       
business, companies that produced or distributed the movie "The Basketball      
Diaries", and companies that provide allegedly obscene internet content. The    
complaint alleges, with respect to the Company and other videogame corporations,
that Carneal was influenced by the allegedly violent content of certain         
videogames and that the videogame manufacturers are liable for Carneal's        
conduct. The complaint seeks $10 million in compensatory damages and $100       
million in punitive damages. The Company and approximately 10 other videogame   
corporations have entered into a joint defense agreement and have retained      
counsel. By order entered April 6, 2000, the Court granted a motion to dismiss  
the complaint. Plaintiffs have filed a motion to vacate the dismissal of the    
action, and this motion is currently being briefed.                             

     On March 12, 1999, Fenris Wolf Ltd. ("Fenris"), a software developer, filed
a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court claiming that the Company failed to         
adequately pursue bundling opportunities for the software game "Rebel Moon      
Rising MMX" and unlawfully rejected the ninth milestone deliverable for the     
software game "Rebel Moon Revolution" under a development contract between the  
parties dated June 26, 1996. The complaint asserts five claims of breach and    
intentional interference, which seek $100 for the nonpayment and rejection of   
milestone nine, $400 for the balance of payments under the contract, $775 for   
alleged lost bundling opportunities, $775 for alleged intentional interference  
with bundling arrangements and $500 for alleged interference with contractual   
relations. In an October 20, 1999 opinion and order, the court granted the      
Company's motion to dismiss three of the five claims so that only the milestone 
nine contract and bundling claims remain. Fenris has filed a notice of appeal   
from the dismissal of the $400 claim for the balance of payments under the      
contract; and the Company has filed a counterclaim for breach seeking to recover
not less

than the $800 in milestone payments advanced for the development of "Rebel Moon 
Revolution." Fenris has moved for summary judgment on its first cause of action 
($100), and the Company has moved for summary judgment dismissing the bundling  
claim. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action and pursue its      
counterclaim.                                                                   

On February 7, 2000, Hasbro Interactive Inc., its subsidiary Atari    
Interactive, Inc. and Zao Elorg d/b/a Elorg Corporation filed a lawsuit against 
the Company and five other companies in Massachusetts federal court. The        
complaint asserts claims against the Company for copyright infringement and     
unfair competition based on the sale of the computer videogames entitled        
"HemiRoids," "Patriot Command," "Bricklayer," "3D TetriMadness," "3D Munch Man,"
"3D Munch Man II" and "Mac-Man," as well as claims for trademark infringement   
and dilution for use of the name "3D TetriMadness." The complaint seeks         
injunctive relief, actual profits, statutory damages, attorneys' fees and costs 
pursuant to federal copyright and trademark laws, as well as common law damages.
By settlement agreement dated March 29, 2000, the Company settled this action   
and agreed to stop manufacturing and/or distributing the allegedly infringing   
games.                                                                          

   Additionally, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, the ultimate resolution of which    
management believes will not be material to the Company's results of operations 
or financial condition.                                                         

NOTE 16 -- EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN                                                

The Company maintains an Employee Savings Plan which qualifies as a   
deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  
The plan is available to all U.S. employees who meet the eligibility            
requirements. Under the plan, participating employees may elect to defer a      
portion of their pretax earnings, up to the maximum allowed by the Internal     
Revenue Service (up to the lesser of 15% of compensation or $10 for calendar    
year 1999), with matching of 50% of the employee's contribution up to 6 percent 
provided by the Company. Generally, the plan assets in a participant's account  
will be distributed to a participant or his or her beneficiaries upon           
termination of employment, retirement, disability or death. All plan            
administrative fees are paid by the Company. Generally, the Company does not    
provide its employees any other post retirement or post employment benefits,    
except discretionary severance payments upon termination of employment. Plan    
expense approximated $467, $187, $739 and $530 for the year ended December 31,  
1997, the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the years ended March 31, 1999  
and 2000, respectively.                                                         

NOTE 17 -- ROYALTY ADVANCES                                                     

 The Company has committed to pay advance royalty payments under certain
royalty agreements. These obligations are not guaranteed and are dependent, in  
part, on the delivery of the contracted services by the licensor. Future advance
royalty payments due under these royalty agreements are as follows for the      
fiscal years then ended:

NOTE 18 -- CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK                                         

The Company extends credit to various companies in the retail and mass
merchandising industry for the purchase of its merchandise which results in a   
concentration of credit risk. This concentration of credit risk may be affected 
by changes in economic or other industry conditions and may, accordingly, impact
the Company's overall credit risk. Although the Company generally does not      
require collateral, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its      
customers and reserves for potential losses are maintained.                     

    The Company had sales constituting 46%, 47%, 40% and 35% of net revenue to
two customers in the years ended December 31, 1997, the three months ended March
31, 1998 and the years ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Sales to one
customer constituted 38%, 39%, 30% and 24% of net revenue during the year ended 
December 31, 1997, the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the years ended    
March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively, while sales to a second customer         
constituted 8%, 8%, 10%, and 11% of the net revenue for the same periods,       
respectively.                                                                   

     Accounts receivable due from three significant customers aggregated 48% and
43% of accounts receivable at March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.            

NOTE 19 -- OPERATIONS BY REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS               

The Company has two reportable segments: publishing and distribution. 
Publishing is comprised of frontline, leisure and children's publishing.        
Distribution constitutes the sale of the Company's and other publishers' titles 
to various mass merchants and other retailers.                                  

    The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates           
performance based on operating income of these segments.                        

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units with   
different associated costs and profit margins. They are managed separately      
because each business unit requires different planning, merchandising and       
marketing strategies.                                                           

  The following unaudited summary represents the consolidated net revenues
and operating income (loss) by reportable segment for the year ended December   
31, 1997, the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended March 31,    
1999:

NOTE 21 -- RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES                                      

During December 1999, the Company's management approved and adopted a 
formal plan (the "Restructuring Plan") relating to a reorganization of the      
Company's Frontline publishing business, the shutdown of a substantial portion  
of European publishing operations and outsourcing and downsizing of the         
Company's distribution and assembly function. As a result of the implementation 
of the Restructuring Plan, the Company has incurred restructuring and other     
charges of approximately $37.9 million in fiscal 2000, mostly recorded in the   
three months ended December 31, 1999. As a result of the implementation of the  
Restructuring Plan, the Company has incurred approximately $17.6 million        
relating to the write-off of goodwill due to the consolidation of the value     
distribution division with the Company's publishing division, $12.1 million     
relates the shutdown of European operations, including the write-off of all     
goodwill other than the Reflections studio, $6.1 million relates to impaired    
assets and $2.1 million relates to the planned severance of certain employees.  
The liability at March 31, 1999 relates to the planned severance of 135         
employees. As of March 31, 2000, the Company terminated 88 employees from the   
administration and finance, manufacturing and distribution and product          
development departments. Management expects to complete the Company             
reorganization by June 30, 2000. The restructuring reserve at March 31, 2000    
represents severance due of

INFOGRAMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 

 The quarterly earnings per share information is computed separately for
such period. Therefore, the sum of such quarters per share amounts may differ   
from the total for the year.                                                    

NOTE 23 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)                                        

    On April 6, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved a one-for-five
reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock, which became effective June 26, 2000.                                    

   Effective May 10, 2000, the Company changed its name from "GT Interactive
Software Corp." to "Infogrames, Inc." The Company continues to be listed on the 
Nasdaq National Market under the trading symbol "GTIS". The Company's name      
change is reflective of the new corporate branding strategy being implemented by
the Company and Infogrames SA, its indirect majority shareholder. Pursuant to   
this branding strategy, the Company will adopt the Infogrames brand across the  
Company and its products.                                                       

    On June 26, 2000, the Company repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares
of its common stock in connection with severance agreements with certain of its 
employees. The repurchased shares of common stock will be held as treasury      
stock.                                                                          

     On June 27, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's
fiscal year from March 31 to June 30, to conform to Infogrames SA's fiscal year 
end.                                                                            

On June 29, 2000, Infogrames SA and the Company amended the Credit    
Agreement to increase the aggregate commitment available under the facility to  
$125,000 and to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2000.
