 of Interim Financial Results

Revenue

ATI revenues for the first quarter increased 9.1 percent to (US) $250.0 million from (US) $229.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, but were 26.9 percent lower than the first quarter a year earlier. First quarter 2002 revenues increased over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 due to stronger sales into the PC market and royalty revenue from sales of Nintendo's GAMECUBE(TM) game console, which features graphics technology powered by ATI.

The decline compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was primarily the result of a worldwide slowdown For articles with similar titles, see Slow Down (disambiguation).
A slowdown is an industrial action in which employees perform their duties but seek to reduce productivity or efficiency in their performance of these duties.
 in PC sales, the shift to integrated graphics Refers to having the video display circuitry of a computer contained directly on the motherboard rather than on a separate plug-in card (the display adapter). Integrated graphics typically share memory with the CPU (see shared video memory) and provide a more economical alternative to the  solutions as well as the affect of ATI's system integrator strategy. As part of this strategy, the Company is delivering chips rather than boards into the system integrator channel, which reduces top-line revenue but improves gross margins.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the first quarter improved to 32.0 percent of revenues compared to 29.6 percent of revenues in the fourth quarter and 24.3 percent in the first quarter a year earlier. The improvement is a result of better margins across the desktop product line due to shipment of new products. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, ATI also benefited from royalties on sales of Nintendo's new GAMECUBE(TM) game console, which has received strong consumer acceptance.

Operating Expense

Total operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles, were (US) $69.1 million or 3.0 percent higher than the fourth quarter, and 1.9 percent higher than the same quarter a year earlier. The increase in the first quarter was primarily higher advertising expense associated with the launch of the new products that began shipping in September, volume related sales expense, and engineering support costs. Year over year, there have been additional operating expenses resulting from the acquisition of FIRE GL.

Total operating expenses rose 2.3 percent to (US) $90.3 million in the first quarter, but declined 11.4 percent from the same period a year earlier. The amortization of intangible assets Intangible Asset

An asset that is not physical in nature.

Notes:
Examples are things like copyrights, patents, intellectual property, and goodwill. These are the opposite of tangible assets.
 remained steady between the first and fourth quarters but declined by 37.9 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as the Company completed its amortization of purchased in process R&D resulting from the acquisition of ArtX ARTX Ada Real-Time Executive .

Net Income

In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, ATI's unadjusted net loss was (US) $10.3 million or (US) $0.04 per share compared to an unadjusted net loss of (US) $11.6 million or (US) $0.05 per share in the fourth quarter and an unadjusted net loss of (US) $16.2 million or (US) $0.07 per share for the first quarter a year ago. The year over year improvement in unadjusted earnings is primarily the result of declines in amortization of intangible assets and increases in gross margins.

Adjusted net income for the first quarter was (US) $10.4 million or (US) $0.04 per share on a fully diluted di·lute  
tr.v. di·lut·ed, di·lut·ing, di·lutes
1. To make thinner or less concentrated by adding a liquid such as water.

2. To lessen the force, strength, purity, or brilliance of, especially by admixture.
 basis, compared to adjusted net income of (US) $2.2 million or (US) $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter, and adjusted net income of (US) $11.8 million, or (US) $0.05 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

Income from royalties on sales of Nintendo's GAMECUBE(TM) game console, increased sales to the PC markets, and higher gross margins account for the increase in adjusted net earnings in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. Compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001, adjusted net earnings were affected primarily by the lower revenue offset by higher gross margins.

ATI's cash flow from operations Cash flow from operations

A firm's net cash inflow resulting directly from its regular operations (disregarding extraordinary items such as the sale of fixed assets or transaction costs associated with issuing securities), calculated as the sum of net income plus noncash expenses

Fourth quarter 2001 cash flow benefited from a (US) $41.1 million reduction in inventories. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002 inventories continued to decline, by (US) $7.4 million to (US) $91.5 million at November 30, 2001, compared to (US) $99.0 million at fiscal 2001 year-end year-end also year·end

ATI's financial position continued to strengthen in the first quarter. At November 30, 2001, ATI had working capital of (US) $332.6 million, compared to (US) $323.6 million at year-end, fiscal 2001. The Company's cash position was (US) $221.5 million as of November 30, 2001, compared to (US) $216.5 million at year-end 2001. The increases were largely due to cash flows resulting from continued inventory reductions and positive earnings.

Intangible assets declined to (US) $266.7 million at November 30, 2001, from (US) $367.1 million a year earlier due to the large amounts amortized during the year.

ATI TECHNOLOGIES INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2001


      The principal business activities of ATI Technologies Inc. (the
"Company") are the design, manufacture and sale of graphics and
multimedia products for personal computers and consumer electronics
devices. The Company markets its products to original equipment
manufacturers, system builders, distributors and retailers primarily
in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      The accompanying unaudited financial statements are prepared in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial statements and do not include all the information
required for complete financial statements. These interim financial
statements and notes related thereto should be read in conjunction
with the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial
statements, as at and for the year ended August 31, 2001.
      These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same
accounting policies and methods of their application as the most
recent annual consolidated financial statements with the exception of
the Company's adoption of the new accounting standard for earnings per
share with effect from September 1, 2001, as required by the revised
Handbook Section 3500 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants.
      Under this new standard, basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing the net income or loss before discontinued operations and
extraordinary items by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted earnings per share
is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the
weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include
additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, if
dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by the
treasury stock method, assuming that the outstanding stock options are
exercised and the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire
shares of common stock at the average market price during the
reporting periods.
      The basic and diluted earnings per share for the comparable
interim period of the immediately preceding fiscal year have been
adjusted accordingly to reflect the adoption of this new standard for
earnings per share.

1.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

      The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators
and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations:

      Share options to purchase 4,580,560 common shares at the prices
ranging from CAD $14.00 to CAD $23.37 per share were outstanding in
the first quarter of the fiscal year (2000 - 6,203,660 common shares
at CAD $13.37 to CAD $23.37 per share) but were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices
of the stock options were greater than the average market price of the
common shares for the reporting period.

      The table below presents adjusted net income and adjusted net
income per share, which excludes amortization of intangible assets
related to the Company's acquisitions, and the deferred tax recovery
of future tax liability pertaining to intangible assets acquired,
