"Atari continues to execute on its plans," stated David Pierce, President and Chief Executive Officer of Atari. "First and foremost, we have secured a three year $15 million credit facility with Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC, a prestigious financial partner. This facility will provide Atari with flexibility on our short-term working capital needs. Secondly, with the sale of the Shiny development studio, we have completed the divesture of our internal development studios streamlining our development operations. Finally, we are realizing the results of our previously announced cost reduction plans as general and administrative expenses are down 31%."

Mr. Pierce continued, "As we enter into our holiday season, Atari continues to deliver by releasing high-quality products to our consumers that utilize next-generation capabilities. We look forward to launching new products such as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for Nintendo Wii and continuing to build on the world-wide success of Test Drive Unlimited and Never Winter Nights 2, both of which take advantage of opportunities on-line. Atari is focused on growing shareholder value."
