PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Atari, Inc. (formerly known as Infogrames, Inc.), a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), develops, publishes, and distributes interactive
entertainment for leisure entertainment, gaming enthusiasts and children'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 began operations in February 1993, the Company has
experienced rapid growth and its product and customer mix has changed
substantially.
Following the acquisitions of GT Interactive Software Corp., a Delaware
corporation, in 1999 and Hasbro Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Hasbro Interactive"), in 2001 by its parent company, Infogrames Entertainment
S.A., a French corporation ("Infogrames SA"), the Company embarked upon an
extensive restructuring and streamlining of its operations in fiscal 2001, which
resulted in a reduction of overhead and a streamlined organizational structure.
In fiscal 2003, the Company continued to tailor its product line-up and focused
on implementing a more strategic approach to the timing of all releases, as well
as improved controls to ensure the timely arrival of all products.
In May 2003, the Company changed its name to Atari, Inc. and changed
its trading symbol on the NASDAQ National Market to "ATAR". (The Company
obtained rights to use the Atari name through a license from Infogrames SA and
Infogrames SA gained control as part of the acquisition of Hasbro Interactive.)
The Company believes that the Atari brand, which is largely credited with
launching the video game industry, continues to carry a level of respect,
recognition and legacy for innovation that will enhance the Company's reputation
and improve consumer recognition of its products. As of May 2003, all of the
Company's products will be published, distributed and marketed under the Atari
brand.
Development, publishing and distribution of interactive entertainment
software are the major activities of the Company. Publishing is conducted
through the Company's three main studios: Santa Monica, California
(sports/racing and action/adventure games); Beverly, Massachusetts (kids/family
games, driving, and strategy); and Minneapolis, Minnesota (action/adventure
games). 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, whether it is a licensed or published product, and on the platform
published. Furthermore, the Company's sales and profitability may vary
significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of its new
published product releases. Distribution activities primarily include the sale
of games produced by software publishers unrelated to the Company ("Third-Party
Products"). To the extent that mass-merchants require greater proportions of
these products, some of which may yield lower margins, the Company's operating
margins may be negatively impacted. Development activities include development
of games by both internal and external development studios. Internal studios are
studios owned and/or managed by the Company for the sole purpose of game
development and external development studios are independent studios with which
the Company or Infogrames SA and its subsidiaries have contracts for the
development of specific titles.
The worldwide interactive entertainment software market is comprised
primarily of software for personal computers ("PCs") and dedicated game
consoles, and the Company develops and publishes games for all of these
platforms. During the nine-month period from July 2002 through March 2003
("fiscal 2003"), the Company's product mix consisted of 51% PC games, 22% Sony
PlayStation(R) 2 games, 10% Microsoft Xbox(R) games, 7% Nintendo Game Boy(R)
Advance games, 5% Nintendo GameCube games, 4% Sony PlayStation(R) games, and 1%
games for other platforms. The Company believes that maintaining a healthy mix
of platform distribution in its product line-up is vital for its continued
growth. According to International Development Group ("IDG"), legacy platforms
such as the multimedia home PC had an installed base of approximately 71.0
million in North America in 2002; that base is projected to increase to more
than 81.0 million by 2006. IDG also reports the installed base for the
PlayStation2, introduced in North America in 2000, is projected to grow from
16.8 million in 2002 to nearly 40.0 million in 2005. The PlayStation, currently
the most widely distributed gaming console, had an installed base of nearly 32.0
million in North America in 2002; that base is projected to increase
incrementally to approximately 32.7 million by the end of 2003. As the
PlayStation's growth may slow, the console market as of November 2001 includes
new platforms from Microsoft and Nintendo, the Xbox(TM) and GameCube(TM),
respectively. IDG projects that the Xbox will have a North American installed
base of approximately 17.0 million by 2006, while the GameCube is projected to
have a North American installed base of approximately 12.7 million in the same
time period. The expansion of the gaming market, both organic and through the
addition of new consoles, opens additional opportunities for the Company's
product while increasing the competition for market share and shelf space.
1
There has been an increased rate of change and complexity in the
technological innovations affecting the Company's products, coupled with greater
competition for shelf space and buyer selectivity. The market for interactive
games 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 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 (franchises) in order to spread development costs among multiple
products. In this environment, the Company is determined to achieve balances
between internal/external development, and licensed product/owned franchises.
The distribution channels for interactive software have expanded
significantly in recent years. Consumers have access to interactive software
through a variety of outlets, including mass-merchant retailers such as Wal-Mart
and Target; major retailers, such as Best Buy, CompUSA, and Toys `R' Us; and
specialty stores such as Electronics Boutique and GameStop. Additionally, the
Company's games are made available through a myriad of Internet and on-line
networks.
Sales are recorded net of estimated future returns, price protection
and other customer promotional programs. The Company's management continually
assesses and re-evaluates the rate of returns and price protection based on
business conditions and market factors.
ACQUISITIONS
ACQUISITION OF SHINY ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
On April 30, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares
of common stock of Shiny Entertainment, Inc., a California corporation
("Shiny"), from Interplay Entertainment Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Interplay"), David Perry, an individual ("Perry"), and Shiny Group, Inc., a
California corporation ("Shiny Group"; collectively with Interplay and Perry,
the "Sellers") (the "Shiny Acquisition"). The Shiny Acquisition was consummated
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2002, among the
Company and the Sellers. Shiny develops and adapts content and software for
interactive computer video games for video game consoles and personal computers
and the Company will continue to operate the business formerly operated by
Shiny. Through the Shiny Acquisition, the Company acquired the following: (i)
rights to develop games based on The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions,
sequels to the original motion picture The Matrix (the "Matrix Games"), (ii) the
patented Messiah engine and (iii) certain assets and tools developed in
connection with the Matrix Games. The following outlines the Shiny Acquisition:
(a) The purchase price paid by the Company for the shares of Shiny
consisted of (i) $31.0 million paid in cash at closing and
(ii) the issuance of promissory notes for an aggregate
principal amount of $16.2 million, which amount was paid in
installments by the Company by July 31, 2002 (the "Shiny
Notes").
(b) The Company financed the purchase price with borrowings from
Infogrames SA, which also guaranteed the payments under the
Shiny Notes. Repayment of such borrowings from Infogrames SA
was due in installments commencing no later than December 31,
2003; The Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement entered
into by the Company with General Electric Capital Corporation
("GECC") in connection with the senior credit facility
extended by GECC (the "Senior Credit Facility") makes payments
of all outstanding debt under the Company's revolving credit
agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and related party debt
subordinate to the Senior Credit Facility. Additionally, the
Subordination Agreement between the Company, Infogrames SA and
GECC, in effect, extended the Credit Agreement through the
term of the Senior Credit Facility with GECC (see Note 15 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
on the Senior Credit Facility).
(c) The license agreement between Interplay and Warner Bros.
("WB") was assigned to the Company and was also modified. As
consideration for this assignment and amendment, the Company
paid $1.0 million directly to WB at closing of the Shiny
Acquisition.
(d) The existing publishing agreement between Interplay and
Microsoft Corp. ("Microsoft") was terminated upon consummation
of the Shiny Acquisition. Simultaneously at closing, the
Company and Microsoft entered into an agreement, which
supplements the existing publishing agreement between
Microsoft and the Company. Under this newly-executed
supplemental agreement, the Company agreed to develop and
2
distribute Xbox versions of the Matrix Games. As consideration
for entering into this supplemental agreement, the Company
paid $1.0 million directly to Microsoft at closing of the
Shiny Acquisition.
(e) The Company assumed and amended Shiny's 1995 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Shiny Plan"). The Company converted all options
outstanding under the Shiny Plan into options under the
Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.
In December 2002, Shiny was merged up into the Company and now exists as a
division of the Company.
PUBLISHING
The Company is currently ranked as one of the largest third-party
publishers of interactive entertainment in the United States, according to
NPDFunworld TRSTS Video Games Service. Third-party publishers are companies
whose sole business is the development, publishing and distribution of
interactive entertainment software. Third-party publishers are distinguished
from first-party publishers (e.g., Sony Computer Entertainment America,
Microsoft Corporation and Nintendo of America) in that the latter produce
computer gaming consoles or hardware, as well as entertainment software. The
Company's publishing business primarily consists of three publishing studios
(Santa Monica, California; Beverly, Massachusetts; and Minneapolis, Minnesota),
which focus on the Company's core strengths: kids/family games, action/adventure
games, and sports/racing games. The Company publishes games for all platforms,
including the Sony PlayStation(R) and PlayStation(R) 2; Nintendo(R) Game Boy(R),
Game Boy(R) Advance and GameCube(R); the Microsoft(R) Xbox(TM); and the PC. With
its emphasis on producing interactive entertainment for a mass entertainment
audience, the Company publishes games at various price points, ranging from
value-priced titles to premium-priced products. Pricing is determined by a
variety of factors, including, but not limited to: license or franchise
property; internal or external development; single or multiple platform
development; production values; target audience; and distribution territory.
The Company defines licensed properties as those titles that it has
licensed, for a fee and a finite period of time, from the property owner for the
purposes of developing an interactive game (see examples below). Franchises, in
the form of characters or games, constitute intellectual property owned and
controlled exclusively by the Company (see examples below). Games published by
the Company, with either licensed or franchise property, are developed either
internally or externally. Internal development is conducted at development
studios owned and/or managed by the Company for the sole purpose of game
development. External development studios are independent studios with which the
Company or Infogrames SA and its subsidiaries have contracts for the development
of specific titles. (See below for more detailed discussion under "Internal
Development Studios" and "External Development Studios".)
SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA
The Company's studio in Santa Monica, California (the "Santa Monica
Studio"), was opened in August 2001, replacing the Company's previous two
offices in California, located in San Jose and Woodland Hills. The
centralization of these operations has enabled the Company to capitalize on its
close proximity to Hollywood in acquiring valuable entertainment licenses, while
also reducing costs and expenses associated with research and development, among
other variables.
With an emphasis on action/adventure and racing/sports games, the Santa
Monica Studio publishes titles that are developed both internally and
externally. Now ensconced in the Hollywood community, the Santa Monica Studio
has a strategic position in acquiring and overseeing key titles licensed from
the Hollywood film and television studios. To date, the Company has licensed
film and television properties from the following licensors: Warner Bros. (The
Matrix and Looney Tunes); Viacom/Paramount Pictures/CBS/Nickelodeon (Mission:
Impossible, Mission: Impossible 2, Survivor, Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer,
and Nicktoons); Sony Pictures (Terminator 3, Men In Black and Godzilla); Canal +
(Terminator and Terminator 2); and Dreamworks (Sinbad), among others.
The line-up of titles published by the Santa Monica Studio also
includes titles developed by leading game developers, including BioWare Corp.
(Neverwinter Nights), Digital Extremes (Unreal Championship), Epic Games (Unreal
Tournament 2003), and Pitbull Syndicate (Test Drive), among others, as well as
games developed by the Company's own development studios, including Shiny
Entertainment (Enter The Matrix) and Reflections Interactive Limited (Stuntman,
Driver, Driver 2, Driver 3), among others. In fiscal 2004, the Santa Monica
Studio published Enter The Matrix, based on the Warner Bros. Pictures/Village
Roadshow Pictures' blockbuster, The Matrix Reloaded, the second installment of
the Matrix
3
trilogy created by the Wachowski Brothers. In addition, the Santa Monica
Studio's fiscal 2004 line-up currently includes Terminator 3 - Rise of the
Machine, a game based on the upcoming movie of the same name, as well as two
additional titles based on the Terminator 3 franchise.
The Santa Monica Studio published 29 new titles in fiscal 2003 and
generated approximately 33.0% of the Company's publishing net revenue for the
year.
BEVERLY, MASSACHUSETTS
The Company's studio located in Beverly, Massachusetts (the "Beverly
Studio"), focuses on developing and publishing a range of products, from kids'
and mass-market interactive entertainment to strategy and driving games for the
more seasoned gamers. The Beverly Studio's publishing line-up encompasses those
titles previously published under the Hasbro Interactive label, which was
acquired in 2001 by Infogrames SA. Those titles include an array of valuable
assets, including franchises such as RollerCoaster Tycoon(R) (more than 5
million units sold to date) and Civilization(TM) (more than 5.5 million units
sold to date), and licenses such as Monopoly(R) (more than 5 million units sold
to date), among many others.
In addition, the Beverly Studio publishes the award-winning and
critically acclaimed children's titles developed by the Company's Humongous
Entertainment studio (as defined under "Internal Development Studios"). These
titles include properties such as the Backyard Sports(TM) series (more than 4
million units sold to date), Freddi Fish(TM) (more than 2 million units sold to
date), Pajama Sam(R), Spy Fox, Putt Putt(R) (more than 2 million units each sold
to date), and, as well as licensed products such as Nickelodeon's Dora the
Explorer(TM), which title has been the top-sellers in the PC education category,
and Blue's Clues(TM). Other internally developed titles published by the Beverly
Studio include Kya, which is being developed by Infogrames SA's Eden Studios,
and is scheduled for release during fiscal 2004.
Augmenting the Beverly Studio's publishing line-up are titles developed
by leading game developers, including Firaxis (Civilization and Pirates),
Radical (G.I. Joe), and Timegate (Axis & Allies).
In fiscal 2004, the Beverly Studio is also scheduled to publish games
based on licensed products, such as Beyblade and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven
Seas.
The Beverly Studio published 49 titles in fiscal 2003 and generated
approximately 40.5% of the Company's publishing net revenue for the year. While
the Beverly Studio publishes games for all platforms, a high percentage of its
games are for the PC, which is the platform best suited to games for younger
players. Given the broad household penetration of the PC (see discussion above),
the Company believes this legacy platform remains a viable and healthy business.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA
The Company's studio located in Minneapolis, Minnesota (the
"Minneapolis Studio"), produces games focusing primarily on action/adventure for
the casual gamer. Given the nature of these products and their broad audience
appeal, a large percentage of the Minneapolis Studio's line-up is published for
the PC. The Minneapolis Studio also publishes titles for consoles, such as
licensed titles DBZ: Budokai, Dragon Ball Z(R): Legacy of Goku(R), Dragon Ball
Z(R): Collectible Card Game, and World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars 2002, among many
others. To date, the Dragon Ball Z franchise has sold more than 3.5 million
units worldwide.
Titles published by the Minneapolis Studio also include hunting and
outdoor adventure games, such as the Deer Hunter(R) franchise, which has sold
more than 4 million units to date, racing titles, such as the Harley-Davidson(R)
license, and strategy/adventure games, such as the upcoming Dungeons &
Dragons(R): Eye of the Beholder licensed property.
The Minneapolis Studio published 26 titles in fiscal 2003 and generated
approximately 26.5% of the Company's publishing net revenue for the year.
4
INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT STUDIOS
In addition to its three central studios described above, the Company
owns and manages several studios that focus solely on game development. Titles
from these locations range in genre and are published for various audiences
playing on the full array of gaming platforms.
Humongous Entertainment. Seattle-based Humongous Entertainment
("Humongous") develops some of the most successful children's franchises in the
industry. To date, its Freddi Fish and Putt Putt franchises have sold more than
2 million units each and its Backyard Sports franchise, the #1 interactive
sports series for kids, has sold in excess of 4 million units to date. In June
2001, the Company restructured Humongous to focus primarily on the development
of new installments for the Backyard Sports series, and on adapting its
character games for next-generation consoles, several of which are scheduled for
release during fiscal 2004. Humongous is now a division of the Company and was
formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company under the name of Humongous
Entertainment, Inc.
Reflections. Reflections Interactive Limited ("Reflections"), based in
Newcastle, England, is the developer of the Company's hit Driver franchise,
which has sold more than 5 million units to date, as well as Stuntman which was
released in June 2002 for the PlayStation2. Reflections is currently working on
Driver 3 which is scheduled to be published in fiscal 2004.
Legend Entertainment. Based in Chantilly, Virginia, Legend
Entertainment ("Legend") is the studio behind Unreal 2. Legend is a division of
the Company and was formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company under the
name of Legend Entertainment, LLC.
Shiny Entertainment. Based in Newport Beach, California, Shiny
developed Enter the Matrix, a game based on The Matrix Reloaded, which was
released in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan)
on all platforms on May 15, 2003. The Matrix Reloaded is the second installment
in the Matrix film trilogy created by the Wachowski Brothers. Shiny is a
division of the Company and was formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company under the name of Shiny Entertainment, Inc.
RELATED PARTY
Paradigm. The Company works closely with Dallas-based Paradigm
Entertainment, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Paradigm"), which Infogrames SA
acquired in 2000. The studio behind the successful Pilot Wings game, Paradigm is
currently developing several upcoming titles for the Company, including Mission
Impossible: Operation Surma and Terminator 3.
Atari Interactive, Inc. Atari Interactive, Inc. (formerly known as
Infogrames Interactive, Inc.) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infogrames SA
located in Beverly, Massachusetts, which was acquired by Infogrames SA in 2001.
The Company funds its operations through interest bearing advances, distributes
its products and, on behalf of Infogrames SA, assists Atari Interactive, Inc.
with its on-going operational and managerial matters in exchange for a
management fee. Atari Interactive, Inc. develops games which the Company
distributes in North America and, consequently, the Company is dependent on
Atari Interactive, Inc.'s development activities for growth in its publishing
revenues.
Hunt Valley. The Company works closely with a development studio
located in Hunt Valley, Maryland, which Infogrames SA acquired in 2001 through
the acquisition of Hasbro Interactive. The studio has developed several
successful games, including X-Com Enforcer, and is currently developing several
upcoming titles for the Company, including D&D Heroes, which is currently
scheduled to be released in fiscal 2004.
EXTERNAL DEVELOPMENT STUDIOS
In addition to cultivating its internal development studios, the
Company has established publishing relationships with some of the industry's
most highly regarded independent external developers. These developers include:
Chris Sawyer (Rollercoaster Tycoon series); BioWare Corp. (Neverwinter Nights);
Deep Red (Monopoly Tycoon); Digital Extremes (Unreal Championship); Epic (Unreal
Tournament 2003); Firaxis (Civilization and Pirates); Pitbull Syndicate (Test
Drive); and Webfoot Technologies (Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku) and FUNinmation
Productions Ltd. (Yu Yu Hakusho), among many others.
5
Products which are acquired from these external developers are marketed
under the Company's name, as well as the name of the external developer. The
agreements with external 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 the Company the right to
publish sequels, enhancements and add-ons to the products originally developed
and produced by the external developer. In consideration for its services, the
external developer receives a royalty based on sales of the products which it
has developed. A portion of this royalty may be prepaid, with future payments
tied to the completion of detailed performance and development 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
external developer to design, develop and test the products. The producer also
helps ensure that development milestones are met in a timely manner. The Company
generally has the right to cease making payments to an external developer if
such developer fails to meet its development milestones in a timely fashion.
DISTRIBUTION
Customers. 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 one of the largest distributors of computer software to mass
merchants in the U.S. The Company supplies both products it publishes and
Third-Party Products (See "Overview" above for definition) to approximately
3,300 Wal-Mart stores, approximately 1,100 Target stores and approximately 600
Best Buy stores. The Company also distributes its own products and Third-Party
Products to other major retailers in the U.S. (including, Office Depot, CompUSA,
Sam's Club, Gamestop, Electronics Boutique, Costco, Toys `R' Us, Staples,
Blockbuster, and many other retailers and resellers of computer software and
video games) and in Canada. 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 with 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 state-of-the-art 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 for 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
has outsourced its warehouse and manufacturing operations since 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 of Third-Party Products to utilize the Company's mass
merchant distribution capabilities for their products. Third-Party Products are
generally acquired by the Company and distributed under the name of the
publisher of such products, who is, in turn, responsible for the publishing,
packaging, marketing and customer support of such products. The Company's
agreements with such publishers typically provide for certain retail
distribution rights in designated territories for a specific period of time and
such rights are typically renewable.
Value/Close-out. The Company is no longer in the value/close-out
business.
GEOGRAPHY
The Company's distribution efforts are being concentrated in North
America. Because of Infogrames SA's strong presence in Europe, Company
distributes its products in Europe through Infogrames SA pursuant to a
distribution agreement between Infogrames SA and the Company. Under this
distribution agreement, the Company is entitled to receive 30.0% of the gross
profit of such products or 130.0% of the royalty rate due to the developer,
whichever is greater. Furthermore, because of Infogrames SA's strong presence in
Europe, the Company began closing its European operations in December 1999 and
completed the process in July 2000. 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
6
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 "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company employs a wide range of sales and marketing techniques to
promote sales of its products including (i) advertising in video gaming,
computer, and general consumer publications, (ii) television advertising, (iii)
in-store promotions utilizing display towers and endcaps, (iv) on-line
marketing, (v) direct mailings, (vi) radio advertising, (vii) guerilla or
underground marketing techniques (i.e., placing marketing materials in locations
which are frequented by the targeted groups of consumers), (viii) viral
marketing techniques (i.e., marketing techniques which use consumers to "pass
along" the Company's messages to other targeted groups of consumers), and (ix)
cross promotions with third-parties. The Company monitors and measures the
effectiveness of its marketing strategies throughout the life cycle of each
product. Historically, the Company has devoted a substantial portion of its
marketing resources to support its key franchises and intends to do so in the
future. The Company believes that marketing its key franchises is essential for
cultivating product successes and brand-name loyalty.
The Company's marketing programs have expanded in tandem with the
Company's publishing business, with an emphasis on three areas: (i) launching
new products, (ii) raising the public's awareness of new brands and franchises,
and (iii) extending the life of existing products and properties to the greatest
degree possible. To maximize these efforts, the Company may begin to deploy an
integrated marketing program for a product more than a year in advance of its
release. This integrated marketing approach may include extensive media
outreach, development of point-of-purchase displays, print and television
advertising, Internet promotion, press events, and a coordinated global launch.
The Internet is an integral element of the Company's marketing efforts
used, in part, to generate awareness of and "buzz" 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, in the months leading up to the release of a new
product, the Company provides extensive editorial material to on-line
publications that reach the core gaming audience.
Central to supporting all marketing, promotions and sales efforts for
each title are customized public relations programs designed to create awareness
of the Company's products with all relevant audiences, including core gamers,
and mass entertainment consumers. To date, public relations efforts have
resulted in continuing coverage for the Company in the all-important computer
and video gaming publications, as well as major consumer newspapers, magazines
and broadcast outlets, such as The New York Times, USA Today, Entertainment
Weekly, Newsweek and CNN, among many others. In addition, the Company hosts
multiple media events throughout the year at which print, broadcast and online
journalists can preview, review and demonstrate the Company's products prior to
their release. From time to time, the Company also hosts launch events designed
to spotlight particular titles in the media.
Since fiscal year 1999, the Company's sales efforts are being handled
by a single organization in order to improve the efficiency of its sales effort.
Currently, the Company has two sales regions (each managed by a Vice President
of Sales) and, within each region, five retail Sales Directors who serve as the
primary contacts with the Company's 25 largest retail customers.
The Company engages in sales and distribution of products it publishes,
while simultaneously engaging in sales and distribution of Third-Party Products.
The sales and distribution programs for Third-Party Products are an integral
part of the overall approach to the North American marketplace by the Company,
providing value-added services to both publishers and retailers alike. Through
its strength of distribution and depth of retail placement achieved for its
owned published products, the Company extends this reach to certain publishers
of Third-Party Products, thus enabling access for their products to the North
American retail marketplace in an efficient and effective manner. Similarly,
retailers find value in these programs, enabling them to consolidate their
supply relationships with the Company, and streamline their product purchasing
and store logistic arrangements.
In January 2001, through Infogrames SA's acquisition of Hasbro
Interactive, Inc. and subsidiaries and Games.com, Inc. (collectively, "Hasbro"),
and all their assets, properties and licenses, the Company acquired the
distribution rights for all video games developed by Hasbro and began actively
selling, distributing and managing Hasbro's video games in the North American
marketplace.

HARDWARE LICENSES
The Company currently develops software for use with the Sony
PlayStation and PlayStation2, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance,
Microsoft Xbox and other video game consoles pursuant to licensing agreements
with each of the respective hardware developers. 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 hardware licensor. Each
license also requires that the Company pay the hardware licensor a per-unit
license fee from product produced.
The Company currently is not required to obtain any license for the
development and distribution of software for personal computers. Accordingly,
the Company's per-unit manufacturing cost for such software products is less
than the per-unit manufacturing cost for console products.
OPERATIONS
The Company outsources its warehouse operations in the U.S. to Arnold
Logistics, which is located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The warehouse operations
include the receipt and storage of inventory as well as the distribution of
inventory to mass market and other retailing customers.
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. 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. There is some concentration for the supply of the Company's
publishing needs, but a number of other outside vendors are also available as
sources for these manufacturing and replication services.
Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft 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, PlayStation2, Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft
Xbox products consist of proprietary format CD-ROMs and are typically delivered
to the Company within a relatively short lead time (approximately 2-3 weeks).
Manufacturers of other Nintendo software typically deliver product 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 the marketplace 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
Hardware Licensors Have Significant Control Over the Company's Products, There
May Be Material Delays or Increases in the Cost of Manufacturing Those
Products".
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On November 12, 2002, (last amended July 11, 2003), the Company entered
into a 30-month, $50 million Senior Credit Facility with GECC. The proceeds of
the loan are used to fund the Company's working capital needs, including the
manufacturing and development of products. The credit documents entered into by
the Company with GECC contain restrictions on, among other things, the repayment
of interest and principal owed on credit facilities outstanding with other
creditors which are affiliates of the Company, transactions with affiliated
companies and the payment of cash dividends.
On March 28, 2003, the Company announced that it has changed its fiscal
year-end from June 30 to March 31. As a result of this change, the Company's
fiscal year 2003 was a 9-month period. The Company's new fiscal year 2004
commenced on April 1, 2003 and will end on March 31, 2004. The Company believes
that the March 31 year-end is consistent with more of its peers in the video
game industry, allowing for more meaningful analysis and comparisons within the
sector.
EMPLOYEES
As of end of fiscal year 2003, the Company has 564 employees
domestically, with 262 in product development, 104 in administration (i.e.,
senior management, human resources, legal, IT & facilities), 59 in finance, 72
in sales and 76 in marketing. The Company has operations in New York, New York;
Beverly, Massachusetts; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Seattle,
8
Washington; Sunnyvale, California; Santa Monica, California; Chantilly,
Virginia; and Newport Beach, California. The Company also has operations
internationally at its Reflections Studio located in Newcastle, England, which
has 92 employees.
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 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 third-party publishers of interactive
entertainment software, including Electronic Arts Inc., THQ, Inc., Activision,
Inc., Take Two Interactive, Inc., and SEGA Corporation, among others. In
addition, the Company competes with first-party publishers such as Sony Computer
Entertainment, Nintendo of America, and Microsoft Corporation. See "Risk Factors
-- Significant Competition In Our Industry Could Adversely Affect Our Business".
Infogrames SA has granted the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free
licenses to use the names "Infogrames" and "Atari", which licenses may not be
cancelled on less than one-year's notice unless the Company breaches its
obligations under the license. The Company's management believes that a number
of factors provide the Company with competitive opportunities in the industry,
including its extensive catalogue of multi-platform products, strength in the
mass-market, and strong sales forces in North America and, through Infogrames
SA, in Europe and Australia. The Company believes that solid franchises such as
Driver, Test Drive, Civilization, the Backyard Sports series, Deer Hunter and
RollerCoaster Tycoon and attractive licenses such as The Matrix, Terminator,
Unreal, Harley Davidson, Mission: Impossible, Looney Tunes, Blue's Clues, Dragon
Ball Z, Major League Baseball and the National Football League, 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 (the "SEC") "Plain English" guidelines. In this
section, the words "we," "our," "ours" and "us" refer only to the Company 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 SEC 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" above.
INFOGRAMES SA CONTROLS THE COMPANY AND COULD PREVENT AN ACQUISITION
FAVORABLE TO OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS. Infogrames SA beneficially owns
approximately 88% 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.
Four of the nine members of the Board of Directors are employees of Infogrames
SA or its affiliates, including the Company. One of the remaining five directors
has recently been affiliated with the Company and another director is currently
affiliated with the Company. Therefore, two of the remaining five other
directors are not considered independent.
OUR SUCCESS MAY BE IMPACTED BY INFOGRAMES SA'S SUCCESS, ABILITY AND
WILLINGNESS TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE COMPANY. Infogrames SA provides to the
Company certain senior executives and distributes the Company's products in
Europe. Since the completion of the Senior Credit Facility, Infogrames SA ceased
funding the Company's operations under the Credit Agreement. However, there
remains outstanding balances under the Credit Agreement and other debt
agreements payable to Infogrames SA by the Company. Although the Company is
exploring various strategic alternatives to reduce the debt under the Credit
Agreement, 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.
THE SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY MAY BE TERMINATED. In fiscal 2003, the
Company entered into a 30-month, $50 million revolving credit facility with
GECC. The Company utilizes the proceeds of this loan to fund the Company's
working capital needs, including the manufacturing and development of products.
The credit documents which the Company entered into with GECC to obtain this
credit facility contain numerous covenants and conditions which may
9
cause a default upon breach thereof by the Company. Although the Company is
currently in full compliance under the credit documents and no event of default
has occurred, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be in
compliant. If an event of default occurs under any credit document and GECC opts
not to waive such default, the credit facility may be terminated. Additionally,
although there can be no assurance, management believes that existing cash,
together with cash expected to be generated from operations and cash available
under the Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's
operations and cash flows throughout fiscal year 2004.
THE LOSS OF WAL-MART, BEST BUY, TARGET OR TOYS 'R' US AS KEY CUSTOMERS
COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. Our sales to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target
and Toys 'R' US accounted for approximately 24.0%, 10.5%, 8.6% and 8.3%,
respectively, of net revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. Our
gross accounts receivable from Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target and Toys 'R' US were
approximately $6.2 million, $8.8 million, $7.5 million and $9.0 million,
respectively, as of March 31, 2003. Our business, operating results and
financial condition would be adversely affected if: (i) we lost Wal-Mart, Best
Buy, Toys 'R' US or Target as a customer, (ii) we began shipping fewer products
to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Toys 'R' US or Target, (iii) we were unable to collect
receivables from Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Toys 'R' US or Target, or (iv) we
experienced any other adverse change in our relationship with Wal-Mart, Best
Buy, Toys 'R' US or Target. We do not have any written agreements or
understandings with Wal-Mart, Toys 'R' US or Target. Consequently, our
relationship with Wal-Mart, Toys 'R' US or Target could end at any time. We
cannot assure that Wal-Mart, Toys 'R' US and Target will continue to use us as a
major supplier of consumer software, or at all.
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. 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 external software developers. Consequently, our success depends in
part on our continued ability to obtain or renew product development agreements
with independent software developers. However, we cannot assure that we will be
able to obtain or renew these product development agreements on favorable terms,
or at all, nor can we assure that we will be able to obtain the rights to
sequels of successful products which were originally developed by independent
software 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 software 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 software 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 software
developers have developed products for us in the past, we cannot assure that
they will continue to develop products for us in the future. In fact, we have in
the past worked with independent software developers who later entered into
agreements with our competitors because of our competitors' ability or
willingness to pay higher royalty rates or advances.
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 that we will be
consistently profitable on a quarterly or annual basis. If our operating results
in any future quarter fall below the
10
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.
BECAUSE SOME HARDWARE 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 Playstation2, from Nintendo to develop products for Game Boy(R),
Game Boy(R) Advance and GameCube, and from Microsoft Corporation to develop
products for the Xbox. Our contracts with these manufacturers often grant them
significant control over the manufacturing of the Company products. For example,
we are obligated to submit new games to Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft for approval
prior to development and/or manufacture. In some circumstances, this could
adversely affect the Company by: (i) leaving the Company unable to have its
products manufactured and shipped to customers, (ii) increasing manufacturing
lead times and expense to us over the lead times and costs we could achieve
independently, (iii) delaying the manufacture and, in turn, the shipment of
products, and (iv) 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. 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 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., THQ, Inc., Activision, Inc., Take Two Interactive, Inc., and SEGA
Corporation, among others. In addition, some large hardware companies (including
Sony Computer Entertainment, Nintendo of America, and Microsoft Corporation),
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: (i) respond more quickly to
new or emerging technologies or changes in customer preferences, (ii) carry
larger inventories, (iii) undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, (iv)
adopt more aggressive pricing policies, and (v) 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 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.
11
REVENUES FROM OUR DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS MAY DECLINE AS COMPETITION
INCREASES AND INTERNET TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES. During the nine months ended March
31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003, revenues from our distribution business were
approximately 27% and 19%, respectively, of net revenues. The decrease of
percentage of net revenues in the distribution business is a result of the
increase of publishing revenues in the 2003 period over the comparable 2002
period. 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 Products, including
products published by our competitors. We cannot assure 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
software 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 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 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: (i) expand our World Wide Web
sites and the development of our Internet infrastructure and capabilities, (ii)
explore expansion of our electronic distribution capabilities, (iii) incorporate
on-line functionality into existing products, and (iv) 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 that our Internet strategy will be
successful or that we will be able to recoup the cost of our investment.
12
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 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 RETURNS AND OTHER CONCESSIONS GIVEN TO OUR CUSTOMERS EXCEED OUR
RESERVE, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED. To cover returns and other
concessions, we establish a reserve at the time we ship our products. We
estimate the potential for future returns and other concessions 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 that actual returns will not
exceed reserves, which could adversely affect our business, operating results
and financial condition.
OUR STOCK PRICE IS HIGHLY VOLATILE. The trading price of our common
stock has been and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response
to certain factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) quarter to
quarter variations in results of operations, (ii) our announcements of new
products, (iii) our competitors' announcements of new products, (iv) our product
development or release schedule, (v) general conditions in the computer,
software, entertainment, media or electronics industries, (vi) timing of the
introduction of new platforms and delays in the actual release of new platforms,
(vii) changes in earnings estimates or (viii) investor perceptions and
expectations regarding our products, plans and strategic position and those of
our competitors and customers. Additionally, the public stock markets experience
extreme price and trading volume volatility, particularly in high technology
sectors of the market. This volatility has significantly affected the market
prices of securities of many technology companies for reasons often unrelated to
the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market
fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Additionally, as of March 31, 2003, of the 69.9 million shares of the Company's
outstanding common stock, only 8.2 million shares (approximately 12%) were not
held by affiliates of the Company. This stock ownership structure may also be a
cause of volatility in the Company's market price.
WE MAY BE BURDENED WITH PAYMENT DEFAULTS AND UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IF
OUR CUSTOMERS CANNOT PERFORM THEIR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. Distributors and
retailers in the interactive entertainment software industry have, from time to
time, experienced significant fluctuations in their businesses, and a number of
them have become insolvent. The insolvency or business failure of any
significant retailer or distributor of our products could materially harm our
business and financial results. We typically make sales to most of our retailers
and some distributors on unsecured credit, with terms that vary depending upon
the customer's credit history, solvency, credit limits and sales history, as
well as whether we can obtain sufficient credit insurance. In addition, while we
maintain a reserve for uncollectible receivables, the reserve may not be
sufficient in every circumstance. As a result, a payment default by a
significant customer could significantly harm our business and financial
results.
OUR COMMON STOCK MAY 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 ("Nasdaq") National Market, the
recently amended Nasdaq rules require that the minimum bid price for our Common
Stock be at least $1 per share for thirty consecutive trading days. Prior to the
amendment of the Nasdaq rules, the minimum bid price was $3 per share for thirty
consecutive trading days and the Company was not in compliant until the rules
were amended to decrease the minimum bid price. Although we are presently in
full compliance with Nasdaq requirements, we cannot predict whether our Common
Stock will continue to meet the minimum bid requirement.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
James
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 corporations in the
videogame business, 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 $10.0 million in compensatory damages and
$100.0 million in punitive damages. The Company and approximately 10 other
corporations in the videogame business 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. On June 16, 2000, the Court denied the
motion to vacate. On June 28, 2000, plaintiffs
14
appealed the dismissal of the action to the Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit. Plaintiffs' and defendants' final appellate briefs were submitted on
November 30, 2000, and oral argument was heard on November 28, 2001. On August
13, 2002 the Sixth Circuit issued a complete affirmance of the dismissal of the
action. On November 11, 2002 Plaintiff's filed a petition for writ of certiorari
in the United States Supreme Court. On January 21, 2003 the United States
Supreme Court, in a summary order, denied certiorari.
Sanders
On April 19, 2001, a putative class action was commenced by the family
of William David Sanders, a teacher murdered on April 2, 1999 in a shooting
rampage committed by Eric Harris and Dyland Klebold at the Columbine High School
in Jefferson County, Colorado. 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 corporations in the videogame
business, that Harris and Klebold were influenced by the allegedly violent
content of certain videogames and that the videogame manufacturers are liable
for Harris' and Klebold's conduct. The complaint seeks a minimum $15,000 for
each plaintiff and up to $15.0 million in compensatory damages for certain
plaintiffs and $5.0 billion in punitive damages, injunctive relief in the form
of a court established "monitoring system" requiring video game companies to
comply with rules and standards set by the court for marketing violent games to
children. On June 6, 2001 the Company waived service of a summons, and on July
9, 2001 the Company filed a motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs filed papers opposing
the Company's motion to dismiss and on September 14, 2001 the Company filed its
reply brief. On March 4, 2002 the Court granted our motion to dismiss and on
March 29, 2002 denied plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration. On April 5, 2002
plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Tenth
Circuit. A stipulation of dismissal was filed on December 9, 2002 and on
December 10, 2002 the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit dismissed the
appeal.
KBK
On September 16, 2002, Knight Bridging Korea Co., Ltd. ("KBK"), a
distributor of electronic games via the Internet and local area networks, filed
a lawsuit against Gamesonline.com, Inc. ("Gamesonline"), a subsidiary of
Interplay Entertainment Corp., and the Company in Superior Court of California,
Orange County. KBK alleges that on or about December 15, 2001, KBK entered into
a contract with Gamesonline to obtain the right to localize (i.e., right to
translate games into the local language of the country where the games are
distributed) and to distribute games electronically in Korea, of Neverwinter
Nights and certain games which were previously released. The complaint further
alleges that Gamesonline and the Company conspired to prevent KBK from entering
the market with Neverwinter Nights or any previously released games of
Gamesonline. The complaint alleges the following causes of action against the
Company: misappropriation of trade secrets under the California Uniform Trade
Secrets Act; common law misappropriation; intentional interference with
contract; negligent interference with contract; intentional interference with
prospective economic advantage; negligent interference with prospective economic
advantage; and violation of Business & Professions Code Section 17200 et seq.
The complaint seeks $98.8 million for each of these causes of action. An amended
complaint was filed on December 3, 2002, alleging all of the foregoing against
the Company, adding Atari Interactive, Inc. (formerly known as Infogrames
Interactive, Inc.) as a named defendant, and alleging that Company managed and
directed Atari Interactive, Inc. to engage in the foregoing alleged acts. The
Company and Atari Interactive, Inc. filed answers on January 9, 2003. On or
about January 28, 2003, Gamesonline answered the original complaint and served a
cross-complaint against KBK. Discovery is ongoing.
The Company believes that these complaints are without merit and
intends to defend itself vigorously against these actions. Additionally, the
Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. The Company's management believes that the ultimate
resolution of any of the aforementioned complaints or any other claims which are
not stated herein will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following tables set forth selected consolidated financial
information of the Company which, for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 2000,
the three months ended June 30, 2000, the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and
the nine months ended March 31, 2003, is derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company. The consolidated financial information for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, the year ended June 30, 2000 and the nine
months ended March 31, 2002, is derived from the unaudited financial statements
of the Company. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial information set forth has been combined as of December
16, 1999, as the Company completed a merger with Infogrames North America, Inc.
("INA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of its majority shareholder Infogrames SA,
(the "INA Merger"). The effective date of the INA Merger was October 2, 2000 and
was accounted for on an "as if pooled" basis. Since December 16, 1999, the
Company and INA have been under the common control of Infogrames SA.
In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue 01-9 (formerly
EITF issues 00-14 and 00-25), "Accounting for Consideration Given to a Customer
or Reseller of the Vendor's Products". This EITF addressed the recognition,
measurement and income statement classification of consideration from a vendor
to a customer in connection with the customer's purchase or promotion of the
vendor's products. The EITF requires the cost of such items as cooperative
advertising arrangements, price protection and other allowances to be accounted
for as a reduction of revenues. The impact of this accounting principle resulted
in the reclassification of cooperative advertising from selling and distribution
expenses to a reduction of net revenues and has no impact on the Company's
financial position or net income. All comparative periods have been reclassified
to conform to the new requirements.
These tables should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10-K. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations".

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company develops, publishes, and distributes interactive
entertainment for leisure entertainment, gaming enthusiasts and children'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 began operations in February 1993, the Company has
experienced rapid growth and its product and customer mix has changed
substantially.
Development, publishing and distribution of interactive entertainment
software are the major activities of the Company. Publishing is conducted
through the Company's three main studios: Santa Monica, California
(sports/racing and action/adventure games); Beverly, Massachusetts (kids/family
games, driving, and strategy); and Minneapolis, Minnesota (action/adventure
games). 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, whether it is a licensed or published product, and on the platform
published. Furthermore, the Company's sales and profitability may vary
significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of its new
published product releases. Distribution activities primarily include the sale
of games produced by software publishers unrelated to the Company ("Third-Party
Products"). To the extent
18
that mass-merchants require greater proportions of these products, some of which
may yield lower margins, the Company's operating margins may be negatively
impacted. Development activities include development of games by both internal
and external development studios. Internal studios are studios owned and/or
managed by the Company for the sole purpose of game development and external
development studios are independent studios with which the Company or Infogrames
SA and its subsidiaries have contracts for the development of specific titles.
The worldwide interactive entertainment software market is comprised
primarily of software for PCs and dedicated game consoles, and the Company
develops and publishes games for all of these platforms. During fiscal 2003, the
Company's product mix consisted of 51% PC games, 22% Sony PlayStation(R) 2
games, 10% Microsoft Xbox(R) games, 7% Nintendo Game Boy(R) Advance games, 5%
Nintendo GameCube games, 4% Sony PlayStation(R) games, and 1% games for other
platforms. The Company believes that maintaining a healthy mix of platform
distribution in its product line-up is vital for its continued growth. According
to International Development Group ("IDG"), legacy platforms such as the
multimedia home PC had an installed base of approximately 71.0 million in North
America in 2002; that base is projected to increase to more than 81.0 million by
2006. IDG also reports the installed base for the PlayStation2, introduced in
North America in 2000, is projected to grow from 16.8 million in 2002 to nearly
40.0 million in 2005. The PlayStation, currently the most widely distributed
gaming console, had an installed base of nearly 32.0 million in North America in
2002; that base is projected to increase incrementally to approximately 32.7
million by the end of 2003. As the PlayStation's growth may slow, the console
market as of November 2001 includes new platforms from Microsoft and Nintendo,
the Xbox(TM) and GameCube(TM), respectively. IDG projects that the Xbox will
have a North American installed base of approximately 17.0 million by 2006,
while the GameCube is projected to have a North American installed base of
approximately 12.7 million in the same time period. The expansion of the gaming
market, both organic and through the addition of new consoles, opens additional
opportunities for the Company's product while increasing the competition for
market share and shelf space.
There has been an increased rate of change and complexity in the
technological innovations affecting the Company's products, coupled with greater
competition for shelf space and buyer selectivity. The market for interactive
games 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 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 (franchises) in order to spread development costs among multiple
products. In this environment, the Company is determined to achieve balances
between internal/external development, and licensed product/owned franchises.
The distribution channels for interactive software have expanded
significantly in recent years. Consumers have access to interactive software
through a variety of outlets, including mass-merchant retailers such as Wal-Mart
and Target; major retailers, such as Best Buy, CompUSA, and Toys `R' Us; and
specialty stores such as Electronics Boutique and GameStop. Additionally, the
Company's games are made available through a myriad of Internet and on-line
networks.
Effective April 1, 2000, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from
March 31 to June 30. Effective March 28, 2003, the Company changed its fiscal
year-end from June 30 to March 31. Accordingly, the discussion of financial
results set forth below compares the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to the
nine months ended March 31, 2002, the year ended June 30, 2002 to the year ended
June 30, 2001, and the year ended June 30, 2001 to the year ended June 30, 2000.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operation are based upon the Company's consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis,
the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to accounts and
notes receivable, inventories, intangible assets, investments, income taxes and
contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect
its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements.
19
Sales returns, price protection, other customer related allowances and allowance
for doubtful accounts
Sales are recorded net of estimated future returns, price protection
and other customer related allowances. The Company is not contractually
obligated to accept returns; however, based on facts and circumstances at the
time a customer may request approval for a return, the Company may permit the
return or exchange of products sold to certain customers. In addition, the
Company may provide price protection, co-operative advertising and other
allowances to certain customers in accordance with industry practice. These
reserves are determined based on historical experience, market acceptance of
products produced, budgeted customer allowances and existing commitments to
customers. Although management believes it provides adequate reserves with
respect to these items, actual activity could vary from management's estimates
and such variances could have a material impact on reported results.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make payments when due
or within a reasonable period of time thereafter. If the financial condition of
the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their
ability to make required payments, additional allowances may be required.
For the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the nine months ended
March 31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003, the Company recorded allowances for bad
debts, returns, price protection and other customer promotional programs of
approximately $92.6 million, $111.9 million, $81.0 million and $82.3 million,
respectively. As of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2003, the aggregate reserves
against accounts receivables for bad debts, returns, price protection and other
customer promotional programs were approximately $50.5 million and $40.3
million, respectively.
Inventories
The Company writes down its inventories for estimated slow-moving or
obsolete inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and
estimated market value based upon assumed market conditions. If actual market
conditions are less favorable than those assumed by management, additional
inventory write-downs may be required. For the years ended June 30, 2001 and
2002 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003, the Company
recorded obsolescence expense of approximately $0.8 million, $0.8 million,
$(0.8) million and $3.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2002 and March 31,
2003, the aggregate reserves against inventories was approximately $7.7 million
and $4.9 million, respectively.
External developer royalty advances and milestone payments
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 follows the policy of expensing external developer royalty
advances (also known as developer advances) as incurred, treating such costs as
research and development expenses. Generally, developers are paid an advance
upon the signing of a contract with the Company. Subsequent payments are due as
the specific contractual milestones are met by the developer and approved by the
Company. The timing of when these contracts are entered into and when milestone
payments are made could vary significantly from budgeted amounts and, because
these payments are expensed as incurred, they could have a material impact on
reported results in a given period. The Company's success depends in part on its
continued ability to obtain or renew product development agreements with
independent software developers.
Income taxes
The Company files income tax returns in every jurisdiction in which it
has reason to believe it is subject to tax. Historically, the Company has been
subject to examination by various taxing jurisdictions. To date, none of these
examinations has resulted in any material additional tax. Nonetheless, any tax
jurisdiction may contend that a filing position claimed by the Company regarding
one or more of its transactions is contrary to that jurisdiction's laws or
regulations. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2003, the Company has significant
federal net operating loss carryforwards that will expire in fiscal years 2011
through 2022. As of March 31, 2003, the Company has combined net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $431.7 million for federal tax purposes. These
loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and
will expire beginning in the years 2011 through 2022. The Company experienced an
ownership change in 1999 as a result of its acquisition by Infogrames SA. Under
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, when there is an ownership change, the
pre-ownership-
20
change loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation which could reduce
or defer the utilization of these loses. Pre-acquisition losses of approximately
$203.3 million are subject to an annual limitation (approximately $7.2 million).
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth certain consolidated statements of
operations data as a percentage of net revenues for each of the years ended
March 31, 1999 and 2000, the three months ended June 30, 2000, the years ended
June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the nine months ended March 31, 2003, which is
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. The
consolidated financial information for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
year ended June 30, 2000 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002 are derived
from the unaudited financial statements of the Company. The unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial
information set forth have been combined as of December 16, 1999, with those of
INA, as a result of the INA Merger. The effective date of the INA Merger was
October 2, 2000 and was accounted for on an "as if pooled" basis. Since December
16, 1999, the Company and INA have been under the common control of Infogrames
SA.
In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue 01-9 (formerly
EITF issues 00-14 and 00-25), "Accounting for Consideration Given to a Customer
or Reseller of the Vendor's Products". This EITF addressed the recognition,
measurement and income statement classification of consideration from a vendor
to a customer in connection with the customer's purchase or promotion of the
vendor's products. The EITF requires the cost of such items as cooperative
advertising arrangements, price protection and other allowances to be accounted
for as a reduction of revenues. The impact of this accounting principle resulted
in the reclassification of cooperative advertising from selling and distribution
expenses to a reduction of net revenues and has no impact on the Company's
financial position or net income. All comparative periods have been reclassified
to conform to the new requirements.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 (UNAUDITED)
Net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 increased
approximately $115.2 million or 39.8% from $289.4 million to $404.6 million.
This increase is attributable to the Company's growth in its publishing
business, offset by a slight decrease in its third-party distribution business.
Total publishing net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003
increased approximately $117.9 million or 55.6% to $329.8 million from $211.9
million in the comparable 2002 period. This increase is due to the success of
both new releases and catalogue titles, as well as an increase in royalty income
earned from sales of US product sold internationally. The Company's top fifty
selling published products for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 generated
revenues of approximately $223.2 million, an increase of $87.4 million or 64.4%,
from $135.8 million in the comparative 2002 period. Included in the $223.2
million of the top fifty selling published products were the top four new
releases for the 2003 period accounting for approximately $86.7 million of the
revenues generated as compared to $44.5 million from the top four new releases
during the nine months ended March 31, 2002. This is an increase of
approximately $42.2 million or 94.8% as compared to the top four new releases in
comparable 2002 period and 48.3% of the total increase in top fifty selling
published products this year compared to last. The top four new releases during
the nine months ended March 31, 2003 were expansions from some of the Company's
most successful franchises and include Dragon Ball Z: Budokai for PlayStation2,
Unreal Championship for Xbox, Unreal Tournament 2 for the PC and Rollercoaster
Tycoon 2 for the PC. Additionally, the Company increased its royalty income
generated from sales of US products overseas. These international royalties of
$18.8 million were more than five times as much as the prior period income of
$3.2 million. Total third-party distribution net revenues for the nine months
ended March 31, 2003 decreased slightly by approximately $2.7 million or 3.5% to
$74.8 million from $77.5 million in the comparable 2002 period due primarily to
a reduction in the Australian operation's distribution business.
Gross profit increased to $200.8 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 2003 from $137.1 million in the comparable 2002 period due mainly to
increased sales volume. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased
to 49.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from 47.4% in the comparable
2002 period. This margin increase is a net result of the Company's product mix
shift out of the distribution business and into the publishing business and a
stronger publishing product offering, offset partially by a shift within the
publishing business from PC product to console product. For the nine months
ended March 31, 2003, the distribution business accounted for 18.5% of the
Company's net revenues as compared to 26.8% for the comparable period in 2002.
Distribution sales typically earn a lower margin than published product sales.
Within the publishing business and consistent with industry trends, more costly
console product is being sold as compared to PC product. Approximately 58% of
the publishing businesses shipments were console sales during the nine months
ended March 31, 2003 versus 30% in the comparable 2002 period. As a result, the
higher costs of console product lowered the overall margin of the publishing
business as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended March 31,
2003 to 55.0% from 56.3% in the comparable 2002 period.
Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses,
personnel expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and distribution costs.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, selling and distribution expenses
increased approximately $9.1 million, or 14.5%, to $72.0 million from $62.9
million in the comparable 2002 period. The increase in selling and distribution
expenses is primarily from an increase in advertising expenses and variable
selling expenses related to the increase in sales from the nine months ended
March 31, 2003 over the comparable 2002 period, partially offset by a decrease
in certain fixed expenses. Advertising expenditures increased $15.1 million, or
50.7%, to approximately $44.9 million during the nine months ended March 31,
2003 as compared to $29.8 million in the comparable 2002 period from the
increase in new product releases in the current period. Fixed costs, including
salaries and consulting expenses, decreased by $3.4 million, to $13.9 million
during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $17.3
22
million in the 2002 period. This decrease was primarily attributed to the
Company's centralization and streamlining of marketing and publishing functions.
Additionally, efficiencies in selling and distribution expenses created a
decrease in these expenses as a percentage of net revenues to 17.8% for the nine
months ended March 31, 2003 from 21.7% in the comparable 2002 period.
Distribution expenses decreased 16.5% to approximately $13.2 million during the
nine months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $15.8 million in the comparable
2002 period. This decrease is due to distribution efficiencies stemming from
increased shipments to customer distribution centers as opposed to individual
customers' stores and the Company's product mix shift from PC to console
product, as console product costs less to handle and ship.
General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel
expenses, facilities costs, professional expenses and other overhead charges.
These expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 increased approximately
$3.8 million, or 13.1%, to $32.7 million from $28.9 million in the comparable
2002 period. The increase includes bonus expense offset partially by decreased
bad debt expense. The Company paid a one-time bonus of $2.1 million in the
quarter ended December 31, 2002 tied to the closing of the GECC Senior Credit
Facility. Furthermore, the Company met increased performance incentives and
incurred additional bonus expense of $3.8 million in the current period versus
the prior period. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt
expense of $3.1 million to $3.8 million from $6.9 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The nine months ended March 31,
2002 includes a $4.2 million bad debt charge related to the Kmart bankruptcy,
compared to a $0.3 million charge in the comparable 2003 period relating to the
FAO Inc. bankruptcy filing. General and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net revenues decreased slightly to 8.1% for the months ended March 31, 2003
from 10.0% in the comparable 2002 period.
Research and development expenses primarily include the 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.
These expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 increased approximately
$13.4 million, or 27.1%, to $62.8 million from $49.4 million in the comparable
2002 period. The primary reason for the increase in research and development
expense was from increased spending by the Company's internal development
studios, which include Humongous, Legend, Reflections and Shiny. Much of the
increase related to the April 2002 acquisition of Shiny and that studios costs
to develop Enter the Matrix on all platforms. During the nine months ended March
31, 2003, the Company's internal development studios incurred expenses of $31.6
million, an increase of $9.7 million or 44.3% from $21.9 million in the
comparable 2002 period. In relation to total research and development expenses,
the internal costs represented 50.3% of the total research and development costs
for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, while internal costs were 44.3% of
total research and development costs for the comparable 2002 period. Research
and development expenses, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased slightly to
15.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from 17.1% in the comparable 2002
period.
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended March 31, 2003
increased approximately $2.4 million, or 68.6%, to $5.9 million from $3.5
million in the comparable 2002 period. The increase is due to the depreciation
on capital expenditures and projects completed since the prior period.
Additionally, the 2003 period includes the intangible amortization related to
the April 2002 Shiny Acquisition of $0.6 million.
Interest expense, net, increased approximately $1.7 million to $9.6
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from $7.9 million in the
comparable 2002 period. This increase in the nine months ended March 31, 2003 is
due from a higher level of average borrowings in 2003 as compared to the 2002
period attributable to the new medium-term loan with Infogrames SA and the
Senior Credit Facility with GECC, offset partially by a repayment of amounts
outstanding under the revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas and interest
income earned on advances to related parties.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded a
provision for income taxes of approximately $0.4 million as compared to a $5.0
million benefit from income taxes in the prior comparable period. The charge in
the 2003 period relates to estimated federal and state alternative minimum tax
provisions of $1.0 million to be paid by the Company based on the Company's
current taxable income. This provision is offset by $0.5 million in federal
income tax benefits resulting from loss carryback refund claims filed in the
current period with respect to the Company's fiscal 2002 federal income tax
return and an amended 2001 federal income tax return. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2002, the Company received a tax benefit of $5.0 million based on
federal tax law changes enabling the Company to carryback its June 30, 2001 loss
and recover taxes paid in 1996. The Company will monitor its tax liability on a
quarterly basis and record the estimated tax obligation based on its current
year-to-date taxable income. Furthermore, the Company has significant federal
net operating loss carryforwards that will expire in fiscal years 2011 through
2022.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
Net revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 increased
approximately $127.6 million or 43.8% from $291.4 million to $419.0 million.
This increase is attributable to the Company's growth in both the publishing and
distribution businesses.
Total publishing net revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002
increased approximately $102.8 million or 47.3% to $320.2 million from $217.4
million in the comparable 2001 period. This increase is due to the success of
major new releases, the continued success of prior releases, and the sales of
the former Hasbro Interactive titles for twelve months compared to five months
in the 2001 period. Net revenues generated from sales of the ten most successful
titles released during the 2002 period, excluding titles under Hasbro
Interactive, were approximately $113.6 million, an increase of approximately
$48.2 million compared to the top ten releases of 2001 of approximately $65.4
million. Major new releases in 2002 included Stuntman and Splashdown for
Playstation2, Never Winter Nights for the PC, Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku for
Gameboy Advance and Test Drive 2001 for Playstation2 and Xbox. Comparatively,
major new releases in 2001 included Driver Greatest Hits and Driver 2 for
PlayStation, Unreal Tournament for Playstation2, Deerhunter 4 for the PC, and
Alone in the Dark for the PC. Although titles released in previous years
continue to contribute to current year net publishing revenues, the increase in
net revenues is offset by the decline in sales of titles released in prior
years. Net revenues decreased approximately $38.9 million as a result of the
decline in sales of the major new releases in 2001 listed above. The former
Hasbro Interactive titles contributed an additional $97.4 million to publishing
net revenues in the 2002 period compared to 2001. The former Hasbro Interactive
titles, including current year new releases from titles under Hasbro
Interactive, are published by the Company in conjunction with Infogrames SA's
acquisition of Hasbro Interactive in January 2001. Current year new releases
from titles under Hasbro Interactive include Civilization III, Monopoly Tycoon
and Rollercoaster Tycoon for the PC, and NASCAR Heat for Xbox. Total
distribution net revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 increased
approximately $24.8 million or 33.5% to $98.8 million from $74.0 million in the
comparable 2001 period. During the 2002 period, the Company expanded its
relationships with third-party vendors resulting in the increase in distribution
net revenues.
Gross profit increased to $206.7 million for the twelve months ended
June 30, 2002 from $165.4 million in the comparable 2001 period due mainly to
increased sales volume, while gross profit as a percentage of net revenues
decreased to 49.3% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 from 56.8% in the
comparable 2001 period. This margin decrease is due to the Company's change in
product mix. The former Hasbro Interactive products represented 32.0% of the
sales in the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 12.6% in the
comparable 2001 period. Additionally, the decrease in gross profit as a
percentage of net revenues is attributed to the increase in distribution
revenues of $24.8 million or 33.5%, as distribution sales typically earn a lower
margin than published product sales.
Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses,
personnel expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and distribution costs.
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2002, selling and distribution expenses
increased approximately $12.1 million, or 16.7%, to $84.6 million from $72.5
million in the comparable 2001 period. The increase in selling and distribution
expenses resulted primarily from an increase in variable selling expenses
resulting from the increase in sales from the twelve months ended June 30, 2001
to the comparable 2002 period, offset by a more efficient use of marketing and
sales staff and distribution efficiencies during the 2002 period. Advertising
expenditures increased 61.3% to approximately $34.2 million during the twelve
months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $21.2 million in the comparable 2001
period, due to the increase in new product releases in the current period offset
by continued efforts to improve efficiency. Distribution expenses increased
21.4% to approximately $21.0 million during the twelve months ended June 30,
2002 as compared to $17.3 million in the comparable 2001 period due to the
increase in net revenues offset by distribution efficiencies such as reduction
in express shipments and increased shipments to customer distribution centers as
opposed to individual customers stores. The overall efficiencies in selling and
distribution expenses created a decrease as a percentage of net revenues to
20.2% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 24.9% in the
comparable 2001 period. A decrease of approximately $4.6 million in selling and
distribution expenses resulted from personnel related costs as a result of
headcount and salary reductions, as well as reductions in travel expenditures.
General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel
expenses, facilities costs, professional expenses and other overhead charges.
These expenses in the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 decreased approximately
$29.9 million, or 44.4%, to $37.4 million from $67.3 million in the comparable
2001 period. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues
decreased to 8.9% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 from 23.1% in the
comparable 2001 period. This decrease is primarily due to decreased professional
fees (legal and other outside consultant fees) and
24
decreased salaries from the consolidation of various functions and the
integration of INA and the Company during the 2001 period. Professional fees
decreased 44.7% to approximately $4.2 million for the twelve months ended June
30, 2002 as compared to $7.6 million in the comparable 2001 period. Salaries
decreased 36.8% to approximately $13.9 million during the twelve months ended
June 30, 2002 as compared to $22.0 million in the comparable 2001 period. The
Company incurred charges of $20.7 million in the 2001 period related to
additional provisions for receivables while the 2002 period includes a $4.2
million charge related to the Kmart bankruptcy. Without these additional
provisions, general and administrative expenses would have decreased by
approximately $11.2 million or 24.0%, to $35.4 million for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to $46.6 million for the comparable 2001 period.
In process research and development costs of $7.4 million were incurred
during the twelve months ended June 30, 2002. These costs were associated with
the Shiny Acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price of Shiny was based
on an independent third-party valuation obtained by the Company which determined
that in process research and development totaled $7.4 million which was expensed
at the date of the acquisition. There were no comparable costs incurred during
the twelve months ended June 30, 2001.
Research and development expenses primarily include the 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.
These expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 increased approximately
$14.2 million, or 25.1%, to $70.8 million from $56.6 million in the comparable
2001 period due to the Company signing additional arrangements with external
developers and achieving more milestones in the development process during the
2002 period. Use of the Company's internal development studios, which include
Humongous, Legend, Reflections and Shiny, also increased from approximately
$24.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 to $29.4 million in the
comparable 2002 period. In relation to total research and development expenses,
the internal costs represented 42.6% of the total research and development costs
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002, while costs were 39.8% of total
research and development costs for the comparable period of 2001. Research and
development expenses, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased to 16.9% for
the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 from 19.4% in the comparable 2001 period.
The Company incurred restructuring charges of $3.5 million for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2001, with no such costs incurred during the 2002
period. Effective March 14, 2001, the Company announced and commenced a plan to
shutdown its San Jose, California facility and recorded a charge of $2.1
million. The charge consisted primarily of employee severance packages and the
disposal of assets that were no longer being used. In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2001, the Company initiated a restructuring of its Humongous
Entertainment business to refocus the operations primarily on internal
development rather than publishing and incurred a $1.1 million charge with
respect thereto. In the 2001 period, the Company also incurred an additional
$0.3 million charge to centralize its technical support operations in Seattle,
Washington.
The Company incurred expenses of $1.7 million or 0.6% of net revenue
related to the INA Merger during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001. The
costs include various consulting, legal, and accounting fees. No costs were
incurred in the 2002 period.
The Company recorded a gain on sale of line of business for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2001 of approximately $5.5 million. This is related to the
sale of the Duke Nukem franchise as the Company refocused its catalog from
specialized gaming product to mass market gaming product.
Depreciation and amortization for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002
decreased approximately $14.8 million, or 72.9%, to $5.5 million from $20.3
million in the comparable 2001 period. Approximately $11.6 million of this
decrease is attributable to the cessation of goodwill amortization under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Depreciation and amortization was further reduced by the
prior write-off of assets due to the consolidation of functions in conjunction
with the INA Merger.
Interest expense decreased approximately $1.4 million to $12.0 million
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 from $13.4 million in the comparable
2001 period. The decrease is partly attributable to lower interest rates driven
by the average three month LIBOR rate decrease from 5.64% in the twelve months
ended June 30, 2001 to 2.29% in the comparable 2002 period. Additionally, the
decrease in interest expense is due to lower average borrowings in 2002 as
compared to the 2001 period.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2002, the Company received a tax
benefit of $5.0 million based on a provision contained in The Job Creation and
Worker Assistance Act of 2002, signed by the President of the United States on
25
March 9, 2002, which changed the allowable carryback period for net operating
losses from two years to five years. This provision enabled the Company to
carryback its June 30, 2001 loss and recover taxes paid in 1996.
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
Net revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 decreased $14.9
million or 4.9% from $306.3 million to $291.4 million. This decrease is
attributable to the Company's decreased emphasis on third-party distribution and
its decision to close European operations in conjunction with the purchase of
the Company by Infogrames SA. The decrease in distribution revenue was partially
offset by an increase in revenue attributable to the addition of sales of the
former Hasbro Interactive product which are now published through the Company in
conjunction with Infogrames SA's acquisition of Hasbro Interactive in January
2001 and the continued success of products such as Driver 2 and Driver Greatest
Hits for Playstation and Unreal Tournament for Playstation2.
Total publishing revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001
increased 18.0% to $217.4 million from $184.2 million in the comparable 2000
period. Approximately 65.0% of such revenues related to PC product revenues and
35.0% of such revenues related to console games for the twelve months ended June
30, 2001, as compared to 70.9% and 29.1%, respectively, in the comparable 2000
period. Both the increase in publishing revenue and the increase in console
product during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 are attributable to the
Company's continued success of Driver 2 and Driver Greatest Hits for Playstation
and Unreal Tournament for Playstation2. Those products alone amounted to $56.8
million of net revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001. Additionally,
publishing revenue increased due to sales of the former Hasbro Interactive
products such as Roller Coaster Tycoon and NASCAR Heat for Playstation2 which
contributed approximately $38.9 million in net revenues for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2001.
Cost of goods sold for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 decreased
approximately $144.5 million or 53.4% to $125.9 million from $270.4 million from
the comparable 2000 period. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues
decreased to 43.2% for twelve months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 88.3%
in the comparable 2000 period. The 2000 period included special charges. These
special charges of approximately $51.6 million were to reserve substantially all
of the international inventory and a portion of domestic inventory which the
Company did not expect to resell. Additionally, the decrease in cost of goods
sold as a percentage of net revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001
is attributable to the Company's reduced emphasis on third-party distribution.
Typically, third-party distribution carries a higher cost of goods as compared
to published product.
Gross profit increased to $165.4 million for the twelve months ended
June 30, 2001 from $35.8 million in the comparable 2000 period. This increase is
primarily due to increased sales volume and changes in cost of goods sold as
described above. Gross profit is primarily impacted by the percentage of sales
of PC product as compared to the percentage of sales of console product. 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 PC product are
higher than those on console software as a result of significantly lower PC
software product costs (for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 console
software consisted of Playstation2, Playstation 1, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64 and
Game Boy Color). Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased to 56.8%
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 from 11.7% in the comparable 2000
period. This increase is due to the Company's reorganization efforts to reduce
costs, decrease its distribution business and implement better business
processes that enabled it to manage both internal and channel inventory more
efficiently and effectively. Additionally, gross profit as a percentage of net
revenues increased due to royalty income on international sales. In the 2000
period, the Company recorded full European sales offset by the cost of goods
sold. As part of its reorganization efforts to reduce costs, the Company only
receives royalty income on product sold in Europe offset by minor royalty costs.
Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses,
sales and distribution labor expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and
distribution facilities costs. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2001,
selling and distribution expenses decreased approximately $60.6 million, or
45.5%, to $72.5 million from $133.1 million in the comparable 2000 period.
Selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2001 decreased to 24.9% as compared to 43.5% in the
comparable 2000 period. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's
reorganization efforts of reducing its distribution business have led to
significant cost reductions. The Company is also realizing the cost savings of
outsourcing its distribution function in this period as compared to the prior
period where a portion of the Company's distribution function remained in-house.
Additionally, the Company has refocused its marketing efforts to reduce costs.
26
General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel
expenses, facilities costs, professional expenses and other overhead charges.
These expenses in the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 decreased approximately
$18.4 million, or 21.5%, to $67.3 million from $85.7 million in the comparable
2000 period. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues
decreased to 23.1% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 from 28.0% in the
comparable 2000 period. The 2000 period included special charges of
approximately $16.6 million related to receivable write-offs, senior management
severance packages and other costs incurred as a result of the reorganization of
operations due to Infogrames SA acquisition of a controlling interest in the
Company. The 2000 period also included a one-time gain from the early
extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9 million. Additionally, the Company
has further reduced costs in the 2001 period due to internal consolidation and
reorganization efforts. The decrease was offset by approximately $20.7 million
of additional provisions for receivables during the current twelve month period.
Research and development expenses primarily include the 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.
Research and development expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001
decreased approximately $15.5 million, or 21.5%, to $56.6 million from $72.1
million in the comparable 2000 period. Research and development expenses, as a
percentage of net revenues, decreased to 19.4% for the twelve months ended June
30, 2001 from 23.5% in the comparable 2000 period. The decrease is primarily due
to savings from shutting down European operations and the SingleTrac Studio as a
part of the Company's reorganization plan. During the 2000 period, the Company
incurred research and development expenses from both Europe and SingleTrac as
compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2001. Additionally, this decrease
has resulted from more strategic and efficient use of existing internal research
and development groups and a reduction in contracts with external developers.
Research and development expenses of the Company's internal development studios,
Humongous, Legend and Reflections, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001,
decreased $19.9 million or 44.5% to $24.8 million from $44.7 million in the
comparable 2000 period.
The Company incurred restructuring charges of $49.0 million and $3.5
million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The
2000 period charges resulted from the shutdown of European operations, the
Company's de-emphasis on its distribution business and the write-down of
goodwill related to its value priced division. Effective March 14, 2001, the
Company announced and commenced a plan to shutdown its San Jose, California
facility and recorded a charge of $2.1 million. This charge consists primarily
of employee severance packages and the disposal of assets that will no longer be
used. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company initiated a
restructuring of its Humongous Entertainment business to refocus the operations
primarily on internal development and incurred a $1.1 million charge with
respect thereto. The Company incurred an additional $0.3 million charge to
centralize its technical support operations in Seattle, Washington.
The Company incurred expenses of $1.7 million or 0.6% of net revenue
related to the INA Merger during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001. The
costs include various consulting, legal, and accounting fees.
The Company recorded a gain on sale of line of business for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2001 of approximately $5.5 million. This is related to the
sale of the Duke Nukem franchise as the Company refocused its catalog from
specialized gaming product to mass market gaming product.
Depreciation and amortization for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001
decreased approximately $7.3 million, or 26.4%, to $20.3 million from $27.6
million in the comparable 2000 period. This decrease is attributable to the
write-off of fixed assets and of all goodwill, other than the goodwill for INA,
Legend and Reflections studios, in connection with the Company's reorganization
plans in the comparable 2000 period. This decrease was offset by amortization
expense resulting from the INA Merger.
Interest expense decreased approximately $7.1 million to $13.4 million
from $20.5 million in the comparable 2000 period. The decrease in the twelve
months ended June 30, 2001 was attributable to lower borrowings in 2001 as
compared to 2000.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded a tax
benefit of $2.4 million compared to a tax provision of $44.3 million in the
comparable 2000 period. The Company recognized a tax benefit in the current
period related to foreign current taxes and in the prior year provided a full
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
27
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $0.8 million at March 31, 2003 compared
to $5.4 million at June 30, 2002. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a
working capital deficit of $91.6 million compared to $51.5 million working
capital deficit at June 30, 2002.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, $52.3 million was provided
by operating activities generated primarily by net income and the collection of
trade receivables. Operating funds, combined with borrowings of $10.7 million
from the new GECC Senior Credit Facility, were used to pay-off the $15.0 million
balance to BNP Paribas, pay $16.6 million against the Infogrames SA related
party credit facilities and to fund capital expenditures of $4.1 million during
the period. The Company also advanced Atari Interactive, Inc. $30.5 million
under the terms of the GECC Senior Credit Facility in order to support its
operations. Atari Interactive, Inc. develops games which the Company distributes
in North America and, consequently, the Company is dependent on Atari
Interactive, Inc.'s development activities for growth in its publishing
revenues.
The Company's outstanding accounts receivable balance varies
significantly on a quarterly basis due to the seasonality of its business and
the timing of new product releases. There were no significant changes in the
credit terms with customers during the nine month period.
The Company does not currently have any material commitments with
respect to any capital expenditures.
Credit Facilities
GECC Senior Credit Facility
On November 12, 2002, (last amended July 11, 2003), the Company
obtained a 30-month $50.0 million Senior Credit Facility with GECC to fund the
Company's working capital and general corporate needs, as well as to fund
intercompany loans to Paradigm Entertainment Inc. and Atari Interactive, Inc.,
each a related party. Loans under the Senior Credit Facility are based on a
borrowing base comprised of the value of the Company's accounts receivable and
short term marketable securities. The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at
prime plus 1.25% for daily borrowings or LIBOR plus 3% for borrowings with a
maturity of 30 days or greater. A commitment fee of 0.5% on the average unused
portion of the facility is payable monthly and the Company paid $0.6 million as
an initial commitment fee at closing. The Senior Credit Facility contains
certain financial covenants and names certain related entities, such as Atari
Interactive, Inc., Paradigm, and the Company's subsidiary, Shiny, as guarantors.
The outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2003, under the Senior Credit
Facility were approximately $10.7 million with another $2.3 million of letters
of credit outstanding. As of March 31, 2003, accrued interest of approximately
$0.1 million was included in accrued liabilities and the Company was in
compliance with all financial covenants.
In conjunction with the Senior Credit Facility, the Company, Infogrames
SA and GECC entered into an Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement dated
November 12, 2002 ("Subordination Agreement"). The Subordination Agreement makes
all Infogrames SA debt and related party debt with the Company subordinate to
the Senior Credit Facility. The Subordination Agreement allows repayment of debt
and interest to Infogrames SA by the Company under certain financial conditions
including, but not limited to, the Senior Credit Facility cash availability and
certain financial covenants. Additionally, the Subordination Agreement precludes
Infogrames SA from demanding principal repayments of any kind on any of its debt
with the Company unless such demand of repayment is in accordance with the
scheduled maturity of debt under the medium-term loan or with prior approval
from GECC. Furthermore, the Subordination Agreement may have the effect of
extending the terms on all Infogrames SA credit facilities and related party
debt through the term of the Senior Credit Facility if certain conditions
required for the scheduled payments contained in the Subordination Agreement are
not met.
28
BNP Paribas Credit Facility
In connection with the September 2000 INA Merger, the Company assumed a
$35.0 million revolving credit facility (the "BNP Credit Facility") with BNP
Paribas ("BNP"), which was to mature on September 17, 2001 and subsequently
extended until November 30, 2001. On November 30, 2001, the facility was
extended to May 31, 2002, with an amendment reducing the amount available in the
facility by $5.0 million a month beginning February 1, 2002 and maturing August
31, 2002. The amended facility charged interest at a rate equal to the lender's
cost of funds plus 1.5% on domestic term loans and at LIBOR plus 1.5% on
Eurodollar term loans, payable at maturity. The Company had $15.0 million
outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2002 and paid the balance of
principal and interest in full on August 30, 2002.
Infogrames SA credit facilities and debt with the Company
Credit Agreement
The Company has a revolving credit agreement with Infogrames SA (the
"Credit Agreement") which provides for an aggregate commitment of $75.0 million
which bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. On September 30, 2002, the maturity
date was extended to December 31, 2002 and Infogrames SA agreed that prior to
July 1, 2003, it will not demand repayment of any amount outstanding, except
under certain conditions and in each case only to the extent that the repayment
is permitted under any new credit facility and the amount remaining available
from that credit facility is sufficient to fund the Company's working capital
needs. Conditions under which Infogrames SA may demand repayment include the
disposition of material assets of the Company, the successful completion of
additional financings, the receipt of non-budgeted revenues and a significant
improvement in the financial condition of the Company. On November 12, 2002, by
entering into the Subordination Agreement, Infogrames SA, in effect, extended
the Credit Agreement through the term of the Senior Credit Facility.
Additionally, the allowable repayments of the Credit Agreement are restricted
under the terms of the Subordination Agreement and demand of re-payments cannot
be made prior to termination of the Senior Credit Facility or without prior
approval of GECC. The outstanding borrowings, as of March 31, 2003, under the
Credit Agreement was $44.8 million. As of March 31, 2003, accrued interest and
fees were approximately $1.8 million and are included in current amounts due to
related parties. The entire outstanding balance of $44.8 million at March 31,
2003 is included in current liabilities as management is unable to determine the
extent to which principal repayments, if any, will be made prior to April 1,
2004.
This agreement requires that the Company comply with certain financial
covenants and, among other items, restricts capital expenditures. Effective
December 31, 2002, Infogrames SA agreed to waiver any default or event of
default through April 1, 2004, that may arise by reason of the Company's failure
to comply with these covenants.
Pursuant to two offset agreements dated July 3, 2003 between the
Company, Infogrames SA and two subsidiaries of Infogrames SA, the Company will
have the ability to offset certain amounts due from Atari Interactive, Inc. and
Atari Australia Pty Ltd., against amounts due under the Credit Agreement. At
March 31, 2003, the amounts that are subject to offset for Atari Interactive,
Inc. are $27.4 million upon the termination of the Senior Credit Facility with
GECC and for Atari Australia Pty Ltd., approximately $1.7 million on July 3,
2005 (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information on related party transactions).
Medium-Term Loan
In connection with the Shiny Acquisition, the Company obtained a $50.0
million medium-term loan from Infogrames SA which matures on June 30, 2004.
Interest is based on the three month LIBOR rate plus 2.75% and payable on a
quarterly basis, in arrears. An unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum is
based on the aggregate amount of the facility less outstanding loans. The
facility will be repaid as follows: $10.0 million three months after the first
shipment of the game based on the Matrix Reloaded movie and no later than
December 31, 2003; $10.0 million on December 31, 2003; $20.0 million on March
31, 2004; and $10.0 million on June 30, 2004. Under the Subordination Agreement,
the scheduled payments are restricted by certain financial conditions including,
but not limited to, the Senior Credit Facility's minimum borrowing availability
and certain financial covenants. The Subordination Agreement also may have the
effect of extending the terms on the medium-term loan through the term of the
Senior Credit Facility. The facility will be prepaid and reduced in aggregate
amounts equal to (1) 95% of the net cash proceeds of any sale or disposition of
any assets of the Company exceeding $2.5 million, (2) 95% of the cumulative net
proceeds from equity issuances by the Company provided that the Company may
retain 5% of such proceeds, and (3) 95% of the net proceeds from any new debt
issuance by the Company. As of March 31, 2003, the outstanding borrowings under
the medium-term loan were approximately $48.3 million, of which
29
$40.0 million is in current liabilities. Additionally, accrued interest was
approximately $1.2 million and is included in current amounts due to related
parties.
In conjunction with the Shiny Acquisition, the Company issued various
short-term promissory notes to pre-existing creditors of Shiny for an aggregate
amount of $16.2 million payable by the Company in installments due July 31,
2002. As of July 31, 2002, all principal and interest related to the short-term
promissory notes have been paid in full with borrowings from the medium-term
loan from Infogrames SA.
Long-Term Related Party Debt
0% Notes
In conjunction with the 1999 purchase of the Company by Infogrames SA,
the Company issued to General Atlantic Partners, LLC ("GAP") the GAP 0% Notes in
exchange for 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and $20.0 million of
subordinated notes of the Company. The GAP 0% Notes are convertible into the
Company's common stock at $20.00 per share and will have a redemption value of
$50.0 million at maturity. On December 28, 2001, Infogrames SA assumed the GAP
0% Notes from GAP in exchange for Infogrames SA shares of common stock.
Infogrames SA has not changed any of the terms of the former GAP 0% Notes
(renamed the "Infogrames SA 0% subordinate convertible note") as they relate to
the Company. Under the Subordination Agreement, the scheduled payment is
restricted by certain financial conditions including but not limited to the
Senior Credit Facility's minimum borrowing availability and certain financial
covenants. The Subordination Agreement also may have the effect of extending the
terms on the Infogrames SA 0% subordinate convertible note through the term of
the Senior Credit Facility. Interest on the Infogrames SA 0% subordinate
convertible note is being accreted at the rate of 7%.
5% Notes
In conjunction with the 1999 purchase of the Company by Infogrames SA,
the Company issued to California U.S. Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Infogrames SA ("CUSH"), 5% subordinated convertible notes ("5% CUSH Notes")
in exchange for $25.0 million in cash and $35.6 million in debt and accrued
interest. The 5% CUSH Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at
$9.25 per share. Under the Subordination Agreement, the scheduled payment is
restricted by certain financial conditions including but not limited to the
Senior Credit Facility's minimum borrowing availability and certain financial
covenants. The Subordination Agreement also may have the effect of extending the
terms on the 5% CUSH Notes through the term of the Senior Credit Facility.
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 growth objectives.
The Company is also party to various litigations arising in the course
of its business, the resolution of none of which, management believes, will have
a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition or
results of operations.
As of March 31, 2003, management believes that we have sufficient
capital resources to finance our operational requirements for the next twelve
months, including the funding of the development, production, marketing and sale
of new products, the purchases of equipment, and the acquisition of intellectual
property rights for future products.
As of March 31, 2003, short and long-term debt obligations, royalty and
license advance obligations, future minimum lease obligations under
non-cancelable operating leases and restructuring obligations are summarized as
follows (in thousands):

(1) Pursuant to two offset agreements dated July 3, 2003 between the
Company, Infogrames SA and two subsidiaries of Infogrames SA, the
Company will have the ability to offset certain net receivables against
amounts due under the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2003, the amounts
that are subject to offset for Atari Interactive, Inc. are $27.4
million upon the termination of the Senior Credit Facility with GECC
and for Atari Australia Pty Ltd., approximately $1.7 million on July 3,
2005 (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information on related party transactions).
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations and costs associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets. The Company was required to implement SFAS No. 143 on July
1, 2002. The adoption of this new principle did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for
a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred. This statement also established that fair value is the
objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS No.
146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002. The adoption of this new principle did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123". SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for
a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. It also requires disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148
is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
The Company has adopted the new disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.
In November 2002, FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN No. 45 elaborates on the
disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It
also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement
provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this new
principle did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51". FIN 46 addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (formerly
special purpose entities or SPEs). In general, a variable interest entity is a
corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business
purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or
(b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for
the entity to support its activities. The objective of FIN 46 is not to restrict
the use of variable interest entities but to improve financial reporting by
companies involved with variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires a variable
interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a
majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or
entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply to variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities
in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.
However, certain of the disclosure requirements apply to financial statements
issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity
was established. The Company does not have any Variable Interest Entities as
defined in FIN 46. Accordingly, this pronouncement is currently not applicable
to the Company.
In January 2003, the EITF issued No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer
(Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor", which
requires that certain consideration received by a customer from a vendor are
presumed to be a reduction of the price of the vendor's products, and therefore,
should be recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold when recognized in the
customer's income statement, unless certain criteria are met. This presumption
is overcome if the consideration paid to the customer is directly attributable
(offsetting) to incremental and separately
31
identifiable expenses incurred elsewhere in the income statement. The adoption
of this new principle did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Derivative Instruments".
This statement amends SFAS No. 133, by requiring that contracts with comparable
characteristics be accounted for in a similar fashion. In particular, the
Statement: (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net
investment meets the characteristic of a derivative discussed in paragraph 6(b)
of Statement 133; (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing
component; (3) amends the definition of an underlying to conform it to language
used in FIN No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others"; and (4)
amends certain other existing pronouncements. This Statement is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not have any
derivative instruments as defined in SFAS No. 149. Accordingly, this
pronouncement is currently not applicable to the Company.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Financial
Instruments with the Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equities". SFAS No.
150 establishes standards regarding the manner in which an issuer classifies and
measures certain types of financial instruments having characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. Pursuant to SFAS No. 150, such freestanding financial
instruments (i.e., those entered into separately from an entity's other
financial instruments or equity transactions or that are legally detachable and
separately exercisable) must be classified as liabilities or, in some cases,
assets. In addition, SFAS No. 150 requires that financial instruments containing
obligations to repurchase the issuing entity's equity shares and, under certain
circumstances, obligations that are settled by delivery of the issuer's shares
be classified as liabilities. The Statement is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for other
instruments at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 150 and
will determine the impact, if any, the adoption will have on our financial
statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's carrying value of cash, marketable securities, trade
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, royalties payable
and its existing lines of credit are a reasonable approximation of their fair
value.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
In recent years, the Company has restructured its foreign operations.
As of March 31, 2003, foreign operations represented 0.0% and 3.5% of
consolidated net revenues and total assets, respectively. The Company also
recorded approximately $6.0 million in operating losses attributed to foreign
operations related primarily to a development studio located outside the United
States. Currently, substantially all of the Company's business is conducted in
the United States where its revenues and expenses are transacted in U.S.
dollars. As a result, the majority of the Company's results of operations are
not subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company does not hedge
against foreign exchange rate fluctuations due to the limited financial exposure
it faces with respect to such risk. The Company purchases certain of its
inventories from foreign developers. The Company also pays royalties primarily
denominated in euros to Infogrames SA from the sale of Infogrames SA products in
North America. The Company's business in this regard is subject to certain
risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in
political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions
and foreign exchange rate volatility. The Company's future results could be
materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.
Interest Rates
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on
its revolving credit facility, its related party credit facility and the
medium-term loan. Outstanding balances under these three facilities (which
aggregated approximately $103.8 million at March 31, 2003) bear interest at
variable rates based on a margin over LIBOR. Based on the amount outstanding as
of March 31, 2003, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an
approximate $1.0 million change to the Company's annual interest expense. For
fixed rate debt including the Infogrames SA 0% subordinated convertible notes
(formerly the GAP 0% Notes) and the 5% subordinated convertible note with a
subsidiary of Infogrames SA aggregating approximately $116.3 million at March
31, 2003, interest rate changes effect the fair market value of such debt, but
do not impact the Company's earnings.

ATARI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Atari, Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atari, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss),
stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31,
2003, and for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Our audits also included
the consolidated financial statement schedule listed at Item 15. These
consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the
consolidated financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Atari, Inc. and its
subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended March
31, 2003, and for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also,
in our opinion, such consolidated 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.

ATARI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Atari, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is a leading
worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment
software for use on various platforms, including PC's, Sony PlayStation and
PlayStation2, Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo's GameCube, Gameboy and Gameboy
Advance. 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.
Infogrames Entertainment SA, a French corporation ("Infogrames SA"),
owns approximately 88% of the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary
California U.S. Holdings, Inc. ("CUSH"). Although Infogrames SA ceased funding
of the Company's operations since the completion of the Senior Credit Facility
(as defined below), there remains outstanding balances under a credit facility
and other debt agreements payable to Infogrames SA by the Company.
On November 12, 2002, (last amended July 11, 2003), the Company
obtained a 30-month $50.0 million secured revolving credit facility ("Senior
Credit Facility") with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") which is
used to fund the Company's working capital and general corporate needs and to
provide funding to related entities which are wholly-owned by Infogrames SA
(Note 13).
In May 2003, the Company changed its name to Atari, Inc. and changed
its trading symbol on the NASDAQ National Market to "ATAR". (The Company
obtained rights to use the Atari name through a license from Infogrames SA and
Infogrames SA gained control as part of the acquisition of Hasbro Interactive.)
The Company believes that the Atari brand, which is largely credited with
launching the video game industry, continues to carry a level of respect,
recognition and legacy for innovation that will enhance the Company's reputation
and improve consumer recognition of its products. As of May 2003, all of the
Company's products will be published, distributed and marketed under the Atari
brand.
Basis of Presentation
Effective October 2, 2000, the Company merged with Infogrames North
America, Inc. ("INA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of its majority shareholder
Infogrames SA, (the "INA Merger"). The merger was accounted for on an "as if
pooled" basis. Since December 16, 1999, the Company and INA have been under the
common control of Infogrames SA.
Change in Fiscal Year-end
Effective March 28, 2003, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from
June 30 to March 31. Accordingly, the fiscal period ended March 31, 2003,
represents nine months of operations.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the
customer, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is deemed
probable by management.
The Company is not contractually obligated to accept returns except for
defective product. However, the Company may permit its customers to return or
exchange product and provides allowances for estimated returns, price
concessions, or other allowances on a negotiated basis. The Company estimates
such returns and allowances based upon management's evaluation of historical
experience, market acceptance of products produced, retailer inventory levels,
budgeted customer allowances, the nature of the title and existing commitments
F-8
to customers. Such estimates are deducted from gross sales and provided for at
the time revenue is recognized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 materially differ
from those estimates.
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 (average cost method) or
market. Allowances are established to reduce the recorded cost of obsolete
inventory and slow moving inventory to its net realizable value.
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 using the asset and 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.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
On June 30, 2001, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" was issued. SFAS No.
142 eliminates goodwill amortization over its estimated useful life. However,
goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying
a fair-value based test. Additionally, acquired intangible assets are separately
recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through
contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold,
transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the Company's intent
to do so. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful
lives. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001. Such adoption
did not result in an impairment of goodwill, based on an assessment of fair
value performed by an independent appraisal company. As of March 31, 2003, the
Company has performed its annual fair-value based assessment which did not
result in any impairment of goodwill and intangibles. However, future changes in
the facts and circumstances relating to the Company's goodwill and other
intangible assets could result in an impairment of intangible assets in
subsequent periods.
Had the Company accounted for its goodwill in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142 for all periods presented, the Company's net (loss)
income and (loss) income per share would have been as follows (in thousands):

Other intangible assets approximate $2.1 million, net of accumulated
amortization of $0.6 million at March 31, 2003. The Company did not have
additional other intangible assets as of June 30, 2002.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
SFAS 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, related party credit
facilities 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 carrying values and fair values of the Company's long-term debt at
March 31, 2003 are as follows (in thousands):
[Enlarge/Download Table]
Carrying Value Fair Value
Infogrames SA 0% subordinated convertible notes, due
December 16, 2004......................................... $ 44,997 $ 42,500
5% subordinated convertible note with CUSH, due
December 16, 2004......................................... $ 71,356 $ 66,100
The fair values were based on interest rates currently available to companies
with debt of similar investment grade.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as fixed assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held, for impairment annually or whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be fully recoverable. If the estimated fair market value of the asset is
less than the carrying amount of the asset plus the cost to dispose, an
impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset plus the cost to dispose exceeds its fair value, as defined in SFAS No.
144, "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. Research
and development costs also include payments for royalty advances ("Milestone
Payments") to third-party developers for products that are currently in
development.
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 follows the policy of expensing Milestone Payments as
incurred, treating such costs as research and development expenses.
F-10
Licenses
Payments made to third parties for licensing intellectual property are
capitalized and amortized over projected unit sales. Management evaluates the
carrying value of these capitalized licenses and records any impairment in
value, if any, as research and development expense.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for
the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002
(unaudited) and 2003 amounted to approximately $21.2 million, $34.2 million,
$29.8 million and $44.9 million, 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. Cumulative translation
adjustments have been reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive
income (loss).
Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)
Foreign exchange gains or losses arise from exchange rate fluctuations
on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.
For the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the nine months ended March 31,
2002 (unaudited) and 2003 foreign exchange gains (losses) were nominal.
Shipping, Handling and Warehousing Costs
Shipping, handling and warehousing costs incurred to move product to
the customer are charged to selling and distribution expense. For the years
ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002
(unaudited) and 2003, these charges were approximately $14.4 million, $17.7
million, $15.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's
consolidated financial statements to conform to classifications used in the
current period. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported
results of operations.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share
Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net loss or
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for
the period. Diluted (loss) income per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur from shares of common stock 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 (loss) income per share calculation for the years
ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002
(unaudited). For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, only the convertible debt
and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, have not been considered in
the diluted (loss) income per share calculation.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its employee stock option plans under the
intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.
Any equity instruments issued to other than employees for acquiring goods and
services are accounted for using the fair value at the date of grant.
At March 31, 2003, the Company had three stock option plans, which are
described more fully in Note 12. No compensation cost is reflected in net (loss)
income, as all options granted under those plans generally have an exercise
price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. The following table illustrates the effect on the net (loss) income and
(loss) income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No.

Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes for
the nine months ended March 31, 2002 have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such
unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of this
information. These financial statements are presented for comparative purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations and costs associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets. The Company was required to implement SFAS No. 143 on July
1, 2002. The adoption of this new principle did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", which became effective for the Company in 2002, addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
This Statement extends the reporting requirements to include reporting
separately as discontinued operations, components of an entity that have either
been disposed of or classified as held-for-sale. The adoption of SFAS No. 144
did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146
requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This statement also
established that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the
liability. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this new
principle did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123". SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for
a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. It also requires disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148
is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
The Company has adopted the new disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, which
are included above under Stock-Based Compensation.
In November 2002, FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN No. 45 elaborates on the
disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.
F-13
It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception
of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement
provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this new
principle did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51". FIN 46 addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (formerly
special purpose entities or SPEs). In general, a variable interest entity is a
corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business
purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or
(b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for
the entity to support its activities. The objective of FIN 46 is not to restrict
the use of variable interest entities but to improve financial reporting by
companies involved with variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires a variable
interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a
majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or
entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply to variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities
in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.
However, certain of the disclosure requirements apply to financial statements
issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity
was established. The Company does not have any Variable Interest Entities as
defined in FIN 46. Accordingly, this pronouncement is currently not applicable
to the Company.
In January 2003, the EITF issued No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer
(Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor", which
requires that certain consideration received by a customer from a vendor are
presumed to be a reduction of the price of the vendor's products, and therefore,
should be recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold when recognized in the
customer's income statement, unless certain criteria are met. This presumption
is overcome if the consideration paid to the customer is directly attributable
(offsetting) to incremental and separately identifiable expenses incurred
elsewhere in the income statement. The adoption of this new principle did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Derivative Instruments".
This statement amends SFAS No. 133, by requiring that contracts with comparable
characteristics be accounted for in a similar fashion. In particular, the
Statement: (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net
investment meets the characteristic of a derivative discussed in paragraph 6(b)
of Statement 133; (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing
component; (3) amends the definition of an underlying to conform it to language
used in FIN No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others"; and (4)
amends certain other existing pronouncements. This Statement is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not have any
derivative instruments as defined in SFAS No. 149. Accordingly, this
pronouncement is currently not applicable to the Company.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Financial
Instruments with the Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equities". SFAS No.
150 establishes standards regarding the manner in which an issuer classifies and
measures certain types of financial instruments having characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. Pursuant to SFAS No. 150, such freestanding financial
instruments (i.e., those entered into separately from an entity's other
financial instruments or equity transactions or that are legally detachable and
separately exercisable) must be classified as liabilities or, in some cases,
assets. In addition, SFAS No. 150 requires that financial instruments containing
obligations to repurchase the issuing entity's equity shares and, under certain
circumstances, obligations that are settled by delivery of the issuer's shares
be classified as liabilities. The Statement is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for other
instruments at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 150 and
will determine the impact, if any, the adoption will have on our financial
statements.
NASDAQ Letter
The Company received a notice from NASDAQ dated October 17, 2002,
stating that the Company's common stock had not maintained a minimum bid price
per share of $3.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, as required to maintain
listing on the NASDAQ National Market. If the bid price for the Company's common
stock closes at $3.00 or more per share for 10 consecutive trading days at any
time before January 15, 2003, the common stock may continue to be listed on the
NASDAQ National Market. The Company was unable to maintain such listing and,
F-14
prior to January 15, 2003, applied for listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.
In March 2003, the Company was notified by NASDAQ that it is in full compliance
with NASDAQ's recently amended listing requirements and as such, the Company's
status on the NASDAQ National Market has remained unchanged.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF SHINY ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
On April 30, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares
of common stock of Shiny Entertainment, Inc. ("Shiny"), a videogame development
studio (the "Shiny Acquisition"). Total consideration, including acquisition
costs and assumption of employee stock options to purchase shares of common
stock of Shiny was approximately $50.8 million. The Shiny Acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was allocated to net assets
acquired, in process research and development, other intangible assets and
goodwill. Accordingly, $7.4 million of in process research and development was
expensed in the year ended June 30, 2002. Furthermore, $2.7 million of the
purchase price was allocated to other intangible assets and the balance was
allocated to net liabilities and goodwill. Other intangible assets are being
amortized over four years.
The purchase price paid by the Company for the shares of Shiny
consisted of (i) $31.0 million in cash at closing, (ii) the issuance of
short-term promissory notes for an aggregate principal face amount of $16.2
million payable by the Company in installments through July 31, 2002, (iii) $2.0
million paid to third-party licensors, (iv) assumption of employee stock options
granted to purchase shares of Shiny valued at $0.7 million and (v) approximately
$0.9 million in professional and legal costs. The Company financed the purchase
with borrowings from Infogrames SA, under a medium-term loan, which guaranteed
repayments of the short-term promissory notes. Repayment of the medium-term loan
will be due in installments commencing no later than December 31, 2003 and
ending by June 30, 2004, subject to restrictions under the GECC Senior Credit
Facility (Note 15).

In 1996, the Company invested approximately $7.1 million in convertible
preferred stock of OddWorld Inhabitants, Inc., a privately-held developer of
entertainment software ("Oddworld"), which is convertible into 50.0% of the
common equity. In the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded an
impairment charge of approximately $3.6 million (included in other income
(expense)) in the investment in Oddworld, decreasing the investment to $3.5
million, representing the difference between the estimated fair market value of

During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company received a tax benefit
of $5.0 million based on a provision contained in The Job Creation and Worker
Assistance Act of 2002, which changed the allowable carryback period for net
operating losses from two years to five years. This provision enabled the
Company to carryback its June 30, 2001 loss and recover taxes paid in 1996.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded
federal and state alternative minimum tax provisions of approximately $1.0
million. This provision is offset by $0.5 million in federal income tax benefits
resulting from loss carryback refund claims filed in the current period with
respect to the Company's fiscal 2002 federal income tax return and an amended
2001 federal income tax return

As of March 31, 2003, the Company has combined net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $431.7 million for federal tax purposes. These
loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and
will expire beginning in the years 2011 through 2022. The Company experienced an

approximately $37,000 to be paid on July 1, 2001. During the year ended June 30,
2001, the Company recorded a reserve against this loan of approximately $0.7
million. Payment of the loan was not received and the Company pursued collection
of the outstanding loan by exploring various legal remedies which it had
available. After further negotiations during the year ended June 30, 2002, the
amount outstanding was reduced to $0.8 million with the remaining balance
forgiven by the Company, resulting in a nominal charge to operations. Payments
were received during February and April of 2002 for a total of $0.8 million. As
of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2003, there was no balance due the Company in
connection with this loan.
NOTE 14 - LEASES

NOTE 15 - DEBT
Credit Facilities
GECC Senior Credit Facility
On November 12, 2002, (last amended July 11, 2003), the Company
obtained a 30-month $50.0 million Senior Credit Facility with GECC, to fund the
Company's working capital and general corporate needs, as well as to fund
intercompany loans to Paradigm and Atari Interactive, each a related party (Note
13). Loans under the Senior Credit Facility are based on a borrowing base
comprised of the value of the Company's accounts receivable and short term
marketable securities. The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at prime plus
1.25% for daily borrowings or LIBOR plus 3% for borrowings with a maturity of 30
days or greater. A commitment fee of 0.5% on the average unused portion of the
facility is payable monthly and the Company paid $0.6 million as an initial
commitment fee at closing. The Senior Credit Facility contains certain financial
covenants and names certain related entities, such as Atari Interactive,
Paradigm, and the Company's subsidiary, Shiny, as guarantors. The outstanding
borrowings as of March 31, 2003, under the Senior Credit Facility were
approximately $10.7 million with another $2.3 million of letters of credit
outstanding. As of March 31, 2003, accrued interest of approximately $0.1
million was included in accrued liabilities and the Company was in compliance
with all financial covenants.
In conjunction with the Senior Credit Facility, the Company, Infogrames
SA and GECC entered into an Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement dated
November 12, 2002 ("Subordination Agreement"). The Subordination Agreement makes
all Infogrames SA debt and related party debt with the Company subordinate to
the Senior Credit Facility. The Subordination Agreement allows repayment of debt
and interest to Infogrames SA by the Company under certain financial conditions
including, but not limited to, the Senior Credit Facility cash availability and
certain financial covenants. Additionally, the Subordination Agreement precludes
Infogrames SA from demanding principal repayments of any kind on any of its debt
with the Company unless such demand of repayment is in accordance with the
scheduled maturity of debt under the medium-term loan or with prior approval
from GECC. Furthermore, the Subordination Agreement may have the effect of
extending the terms on all Infogrames SA credit facilities and related party
debt through the term of the Senior Credit Facility if certain conditions
required for the scheduled payments contained in the Subordination Agreement are
not met.
BNP Paribas Credit Facility
In connection with the September 2000 INA Merger, the Company assumed a
$35.0 million revolving credit facility (the "BNP Credit Facility") with BNP
Paribas ("BNP"), which was to mature on September 17, 2001 and subsequently
extended until November 30, 2001. On November 30, 2001, the facility was
extended to May 31, 2002, with an amendment reducing the amount available in the
facility by $5.0 million a month beginning February 1, 2002 and maturing August
31, 2002. The amended facility charged interest at a rate equal to the lender's
cost of funds plus 1.5% on domestic term loans and at LIBOR plus 1.5% on
Eurodollar term loans, payable at maturity. The Company had $15.0 million
outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2002 and paid the balance of
principal and interest in full on August 30, 2002.
F-27
Infogrames SA credit facilities and debt with the Company
Credit Agreement
Company has a revolving credit agreement with Infogrames SA (the
"Credit Agreement") which provides for an aggregate commitment of $75.0 million
which bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. On September 30, 2002, the maturity
date was extended to December 31, 2002 and Infogrames SA agreed that prior to
July 1, 2003, it will not demand repayment of any amount outstanding, except
under certain conditions and, in each case, only to the extent that the
repayment is permitted under any new credit facility and the amount remaining
available from that credit facility is sufficient to fund the Company's working
capital needs. Conditions under which Infogrames SA may demand repayment include
the disposition of material assets of the Company, the successful completion of
additional financings, the receipt of non-budgeted revenues and a significant
improvement in the financial condition of the Company. On November 12, 2002, by
entering into the Subordination Agreement, Infogrames SA, in effect, extended
the Credit Agreement through the term of the Senior Credit Facility.
Additionally, the allowable repayments of the Credit Agreement are restricted
under the terms of the Subordination Agreement and demand of re-payments cannot
be made prior to termination of the Senior Credit Facility or without prior
approval of GECC. The outstanding borrowings, as of March 31, 2003, under the
Credit Agreement was $44.8 million. As of March 31, 2003, accrued interest and
fees were approximately $1.8 million and are included in current amounts due to
related parties. The entire outstanding balance of $44.8 million at March 31,
2003 is included in current liabilities as management is unable to determine the
extent to which principal repayments, if any, will be made prior to April 1,
2004.
This agreement requires that the Company comply with certain financial
covenants and, among other items, restricts capital expenditures. Effective
December 31, 2002, Infogrames SA agreed to waiver any default or event of
default through April 1, 2004, that may arise by reason of the Company's failure
to comply with these covenants.
Pursuant to two offset agreements dated July 3, 2003 between the
Company, Infogrames SA and two subsidiaries of Infogrames SA, the Company will
have the ability to offset certain amounts due from Atari Interactive and Atari
Australia, against amounts due under the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2003,
the amounts that are subject to offset for Atari Interactive are $27.4 million
upon the termination of the Senior Credit Facility with GECC and for Atari
Australia, approximately $1.7 million on July 3, 2005 (Note 13). However, the
receivable and payable are not netted on the accompanying balance sheet because
it does not meet the accounting requirement for offset.
Medium-Term Loan
In connection with the Shiny Acquisition (Note 2), the Company obtained
a $50.0 million medium-term loan from Infogrames SA which matures on June 30,
2004. Interest is based on the three month LIBOR rate plus 2.75% and payable on
a quarterly basis, in arrears. An unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum is
based on the aggregate amount of the facility less outstanding loans. The
facility will be repaid as follows: $10.0 million three months after the first
shipment of the game based on the Matrix Reloaded movie and no later than
December 31, 2003; $10.0 million on December 31, 2003; $20.0 million on March
31, 2004; and $10.0 million on June 30, 2004. Under the Subordination Agreement,
the scheduled payments are restricted by certain financial conditions including,
but not limited to, the Senior Credit Facility's minimum borrowing availability
and certain financial covenants. The Subordination Agreement also may have the
effect of extending the terms on the medium-term loan through the term of the
Senior Credit Facility. The facility will be prepaid and reduced in aggregate
amounts equal to (1) 95% of the net cash proceeds of any sale or disposition of
any assets of the Company exceeding $2.5 million, (2) 95% of the cumulative net
proceeds from equity issuances by the Company provided that the Company may
retain 5% of such proceeds, and (3) 95% of the net proceeds from any new debt
issuance by the Company. As of March 31, 2003, the outstanding borrowings under
the medium-term loan were approximately $48.3 million, of which $40.0 million is
in current liabilities. Additionally, accrued interest was approximately $1.2
million and is included in current amounts due to related parties.
In conjunction with the Shiny Acquisition, the Company issued various
short-term promissory notes to pre-existing creditors of Shiny for an aggregate
amount of $16.2 million payable by the Company in installments due July 31,
2002. As of July 31, 2002, all principal and interest related to the short-term
promissory notes have been paid in full with borrowings from the medium-term
loan from Infogrames SA.
F-28
Long-Term Related Party Debt
0% Notes
In conjunction with the 1999 purchase of the Company by Infogrames SA,
the Company issued to GAP the GAP 0% Notes in exchange for 600,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock and $20.0 million of subordinated notes of the Company.
The GAP 0% Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at $20.00 per
share and will have a redemption value of $50.0 million at maturity. On December
28, 2001, Infogrames SA assumed the GAP 0% Notes from GAP in exchange for
Infogrames SA shares of common stock. Infogrames SA has not changed any of the
terms of the former GAP 0% Notes (renamed the "Infogrames SA 0% subordinate
convertible note") as they relate to the Company. Under the Subordination
Agreement, the scheduled payment is restricted by certain financial conditions
including but not limited to the Senior Credit Facility's minimum borrowing
availability and certain financial covenants. The Subordination Agreement also
may have the effect of extending the terms on the Infogrames SA 0% subordinate
convertible note through the term of the Senior Credit Facility. Interest on the
Infogrames SA 0% subordinate convertible note is being accreted at the rate of
7%.
5% Notes
In conjunction with the 1999 purchase of the Company by Infogrames SA,
the Company issued to CUSH, 5% subordinated convertible notes ("5% CUSH Notes")
in exchange for $25.0 million in cash and $35.6 million in debt and accrued
interest. The 5% CUSH Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at
$9.25 per share. Under the Subordination Agreement, the scheduled payment is
restricted by certain financial conditions including but not limited to the
Senior Credit Facility's minimum borrowing availability and certain financial
covenants. The Subordination Agreement also may have the effect of extending the
terms on the 5% CUSH Notes through the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

NOTE 16 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
James
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 corporations in the
videogame business, 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 $10.0 million in compensatory damages and
$100.0 million in punitive damages. The Company and approximately 10 other
corporations in the videogame business 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. On June 16, 2000, the Court denied the
motion to vacate. On June 28, 2000, plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the
action to the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Plaintiffs' and
defendants' final appellate briefs were submitted on November 30, 2000, and oral
argument was heard on November 28, 2001. On August 13, 2002 the Sixth Circuit
issued a complete affirmance of the dismissal of the action. On November 11,
2002 Plaintiff's filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the United States
Supreme Court. On January 21, 2003 the United States Supreme Court, in a summary
order, denied certiorari.

On April 19, 2001, a putative class action was commenced by the family
of William David Sanders, a teacher murdered on April 2, 1999 in a shooting
rampage committed by Eric Harris and Dyland Klebold at the Columbine High School
in Jefferson County, Colorado. The action was brought against 25 defendants,

9, 2001 the Company filed a motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs filed papers opposing
the Company's motion to dismiss and on September 14, 2001 the Company filed its
reply brief. On March 4, 2002 the Court granted our motion to dismiss and on
March 29, 2002 denied plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration. On April 5, 2002
plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Tenth

KBK
On September 16, 2002, Knight Bridging Korea Co., Ltd. ("KBK"), a
distributor of electronic games via the Internet and local area networks, filed
a lawsuit against Gamesonline.com, Inc. ("Gamesonline"), a subsidiary of
Interplay Entertainment Corp., and the Company in Superior Court of California,
Orange County. KBK alleges that on or about December 15, 2001, KBK entered into
a contract with Gamesonline to obtain the right to localize (i.e., right to
translate games into the local language of the country where the games are
distributed) and to distribute games electronically in Korea, of Neverwinter
Nights and certain games which were previously released. The complaint further
alleges that Gamesonline and the Company conspired to prevent KBK from entering
the market with Neverwinter Nights or any previously released games of
Gamesonline. The complaint alleges the following causes of action against the
Company: misappropriation of trade secrets under the California Uniform Trade
Secrets Act; common law misappropriation; intentional interference with
contract; negligent interference with contract; intentional interference with
prospective economic advantage; negligent interference with prospective economic
advantage; and violation of Business & Professions Code Section 17200 et seq.
The complaint seeks $98.8 million for each of these causes of action. An amended
complaint was filed on December 3, 2002, alleging all of the foregoing against
the Company, adding Atari Interactive, Inc. (formerly known as Infogrames
Interactive, Inc.) as a named defendant, and alleging that Company managed and
directed Atari Interactive, Inc. to engage in the foregoing alleged acts. The
Company and Atari Interactive, Inc. filed answers on January 9, 2003. On or
about January 28, 2003, Gamesonline answered the original complaint and served a
cross-complaint against KBK. Discovery is ongoing.
The Company believes that these complaints are without merit and
intends to defend itself vigorously against these actions. Additionally, the
Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. The Company's management believes that the ultimate
resolution of any of the aforementioned complaints or any other claims which are
not stated herein will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 17 - EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
The Company maintains an Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") which
qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Plan is available to all United States 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 with matching of 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the
next 6% of the employee's contribution provided by the Company. Generally, the
Plan's 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 $0.8 million, $1.3 million,
$0.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the

NOTE 19 - 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 31%, 37%, 39% and 35% of net revenue
to two customers in the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the nine months
ended March 31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003, respectively. Sales to one customer
constituted 22%, 26%, 28% and 24% of net revenue during the years ended June 30,
2001 and 2002 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003,
respectively, while sales to a second customer constituted 9%, 11%, 11% and 11%
of the net revenue for the same periods, respectively.
Accounts receivable due from three of the most significant customers of
each period aggregated 38% and 31% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2002 and
March 31, 2003, respectively.
NOTE 20 - OPERATIONS BY REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
The Company has three reportable segments: publishing, distribution and
corporate. Publishing is comprised of three studios located in Santa Monica,
California; Beverly, Massachusetts; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Distribution
constitutes the sale of other publishers' titles to various mass merchants and
other retailers. Corporate includes the costs of senior executive management,
legal, finance, administration, and amortization of goodwill of the Company. The
majority of depreciation expense for fixed assets is charged to the corporate
segment and a portion is recorded in the publishing segment. This amount
consists of depreciation on computers and office furniture in the publishing
unit. Historically, the Company does not separately track or maintain records,
other than fixed asset records, which identify assets by segment and,
accordingly, such information is not available.
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 results 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 summary represents the consolidated net revenues and
operating income (loss) by reportable segment for the years ended June 30, 2001
and 2002 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003 (in
thousands):

NOTE 21 - RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company implemented a
restructuring plan to better support its strategic objectives and improve
efficiency of its publishing and internal development operations. This plan
included closing the Company's San Jose facility and moving its functions to
Santa Monica, California. The Humongous publishing group was also closed. These
activities resulted in charges of approximately $3.5 million of which $1.9
million related to the termination of 119 employees. The remaining $1.6 million
related to the disposal of fixed assets and other charges to shutdown these
operations.
F-32
During the year ended June 30, 2002 and nine months ended March 31,
2003, the Company did not record any additional restructuring charges. The
activities that occurred during the year were cash payments related to the
previous restructuring plans implemented by the Company.

During the third quarter of the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the
Company reduced its royalty payable by approximately $2.0 million as returns,
price protection and other customer promotional allowances of certain royalty
bearing products were greater than the amounts estimated during the second
quarter.
During the fourth quarter of 2002, based on an agreement to sell
pre-petition Kmart receivables at an amount substantially below face value, the
Company determined it was required to pay certain royalties only on receivables
collected. Accordingly, the Company reduced its royalty accrual at June 30, 2002
by approximately $0.7 million.
The per share amounts are calculated independently for each of the
quarters presented. The sum of the quarters may not equal the full year per
share amounts.
