NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Years ended August 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

(o) Stock-based awards

(i) Stock options

The Company has share option plans, which are described in note 12. No compensation expense is recognized for these plans when stock options are issued to employees. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options or purchase of stock is credited to share capital.

Effective September 1, 2002, the Company adopted the CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments,” which establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services provided by employees and non-employees. The standard requires that a fair value-based method of accounting be applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees and to employee awards that are direct awards of stock, that call for settlement in cash or other assets or are stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. However, the new standard permits the Company to continue its existing policy of recording no compensation cost on the grant of stock options to employees. The Company has applied the pro forma disclosure provisions of the standard to awards granted on or after September 1, 2002. No restatement of prior periods was required as a result of the adoption of the new standard. Consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital. See note 12 for the pro forma disclosure, as required by this standard.

(ii) Restricted Share Units and Deferred Share Units:

The Company has restricted share unit (“RSU”) and deferred share unit (“DSU”) plans, which are described in note 12. RSU and DSU plans that are settled in cash are recorded as liabilities. The measurement of the liability and compensation cost for these awards is based on the intrinsic value of the award, and is recorded as a charge to operating income over the vesting period of the award. Changes in the Company’s payment obligation subsequent to vesting of the award and prior to the settlement date are recorded as a charge to operating income in the period incurred. The payment amount is established for RSUs on the vesting date of the award and for DSUs on the later of the date of termination of employment or directorship.

(p) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years presented. Significant estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for inventory obsolescence, useful lives of long-lived assets, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment testing, valuation of long-term investments, realization of future tax assets, and estimates for sales returns and allowances, price protection and sales rebates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(q) Accounting changes

(i) During fiscal 2004, the Company adopted CICA Accounting Guideline No. 13, “Hedging Relationships,” for its derivative instruments. The Company engaged in activities to purchase certain derivative financial instruments, principally forward foreign exchange contracts, to manage its foreign currency exposures. The Company’s policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or anticipated transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

The Company purchases forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge anticipated Canadian dollar expenses pertaining to its operations in Canada. These instruments are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements at inception. Foreign exchange gains and losses on these contracts are deferred off-balance sheet and recognized as an adjustment to the operating expenses when the operating expenses are incurred.

Realized and unrealized gains or losses associated with derivative instruments, which have been terminated or cease to be effective prior to maturity, are deferred under other current, or non-current, assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and recognized in income in the period in which the underlying hedged transaction is recognized. In the event a designated hedged item is sold, extinguished or matures prior to the termination of the related derivative instrument, any realized or unrealized gain or loss on such derivative instrument is recognized in income.

(ii) Revenue recognition:

In December 2003, the Emerging Issues Committee issued EIC-141, “Revenue Recognition” and EIC-142, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EIC-141 incorporates the principles and guidance under the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 and U.S. GAAP and EIC-142 addresses how to identify whether goods or services or both that are delivered separately in a bundled sales arrangement should be accounted for separately. The primary purpose of EIC-142 is to determine if separation is necessary, and, if so, how to measure and allocate the arrangement consideration.

The Company fully adopted EIC-141 and EIC-142 on a prospective basis on March 1, 2004. The Company was not impacted by these standards.

(r) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

(i) Generally accepted accounting principles:

In July 2003, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1100, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Section establishes standards for financial reporting in accordance with Canadian GAAP. It describes what constitutes Canadian GAAP and its sources. This Section also provides guidance on sources to consult when selecting accounting policies and determining appropriate disclosures when a matter is not dealt with explicitly in the primary sources of Canadian GAAP. This guideline is effective for the Company’s 2005 fiscal year, with early adoption encouraged. The Company expects that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(ii) Asset retirement obligations:

In March 2003, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations.” This Section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of liabilities for asset retirement obligations and the associated retirement costs. This Section applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that result from its acquisition, construction, development or normal operation. This guideline is effective for the Company’s 2005 fiscal year, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

(iii) Consolidation of variable interest entities:

In June 2003, the CICA approved Accounting Guideline No. 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which provides guidance for determining when an enterprise includes the assets, liabilities and results of activities of entities that are subject to control on a basis other than ownership of voting interests (a “variable interest entity”). This guideline is effective for the Company’s 2005 second quarter. Early adoption is encouraged. The Company expects that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(iv) Liabilities and equity:

In November 2003, the CICA approved amendments to Handbook Section 3860, “Financial Instruments—Presentation and Disclosure,” to require obligations that may be settled, at the issuer’s option, by a variable number of the issuer’s own equity instruments to be presented as liabilities. Thus securities issued by an enterprise that give the issuer unrestricted rights to settle the principal amount in cash or in the equivalent value of its own equity instruments will no longer be presented as equity.

The CICA concluded that not all such obligations establish the type of relationship that exists between an entity and its owners, but rather they convey more of a debtor/creditor relationship because they require the issuer to convey a fixed amount of value to the holder that does not vary with changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity instruments. Therefore, these instruments should be presented as liabilities. The standard will be effective for the Company’s 2006 fiscal year. The Company expects that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2. Financial instruments

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and sundry receivables. The Company invests only in high-quality cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. A majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is derived from sales to original equipment manufacturers, add-in-board manufacturers, original design manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the personal computer, cellular phone, and digital television industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. In addition, a significant portion of the total accounts receivable is insured against possible losses. The Company maintains adequate reserves for potential credit losses as estimated by management.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Years ended August 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

The joint venture, Commerce Valley Realty Holdings Inc. (“CVRH”), in which the Company has a 50.0% ownership, entered into an interest rate swap contract in fiscal 2001, to hedge its exposure to the interest rate risk applicable to its mortgage for the building facility in Markham, Ontario (“Building Facility”). This interest rate swap contract closed on September 10, 2002, resulting in a proportionate loss of $1.4 million to the Company. The loss is treated as a deferred expense item in the consolidated balance sheets and is charged to the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings as a yield adjustment to the interest expense over the term of the mortgage (note 19).

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, sundry receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair market values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair values of the obligation under capital lease and mortgage payable approximate their carrying values.

The financial condition, operating results and cash flows of the Company may be materially and adversely impacted by a substantial weakening of the U.S. dollar against local currencies as the Company’s long-term debt and a significant amount of its operating expenses are paid in local currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts (“Forwards”) to hedge its foreign currency exposure on expenses incurred for its Canadian operations. The Forwards obligate the Company to sell U.S. dollars for Canadian dollars in the future at predetermined exchange rates and are matched with anticipated future operating expenses in Canada. The Forwards do not subject the Company to risk from exchange rate movements because gains and losses on such contracts offset losses and gains on exposures being hedged. The counterparties to the Forwards are multinational commercial banks and, therefore, the credit risk of counterparty non-performance is low.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company purchased Forwards to buy Cdn. $35.0 million in the next three months at an average exchange rate of 1.3793. All of the Forwards have become favourable to the Company since their inception and have an unrealized fair value of $1.3 million at August 31, 2004.

NOTE 3. Short-term investments

At August 31, 2004 and 2003, the carrying value of short-term investments approximated their quoted market value.

NOTE 4. Inventories

At August 31, 2004, the Company had non-cancellable inventory purchase commitments totalling $7.1 million (2003 – $23.3 million).

NOTE 6. Acquisitions

(a) Acquisition of AMI Technologies Corp.

On September 2, 2003, the Company acquired certain assets from AMI Technologies Corp., its exclusive sales organization for Taiwan and China since 1992, for cash consideration of $3.1 million. The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired, including intangible assets of $2.9 million, based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The useful life of the intangible assets acquired is approximately one year.

(b) Acquisition of NxtWave Communications Inc.

On June 28, 2002, the Company acquired NxtWave Communications Inc. (“NxtWave”) for cash consideration of $20.2 million. NxtWave is in the business of delivering broadband communications silicon using proprietary digital signal processing technologies adapted for applications in digital terrestrial and cable receivers. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, whereby the results of operations of NxtWave have been included in the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings and cash flows from the date of acquisition.

The fair values of the net assets acquired were as follows:

Amortization expense and write-downs of intangible assets and goodwill are as follows:

During fiscal 2002, the Company conducted a comprehensive review of the carrying values of the core technology and goodwill arising from the acquisitions of Chromatic Research Inc. (“Chromatic”) and ArtX, Inc. (“ArtX”) and concluded that there was a permanent impairment in these values. As a result, the Company wrote off the remaining balances of the core technology and goodwill of Chromatic totaling $4.8 million, and $4.2 million of core technology and $6.4 million goodwill related to ArtX.

NOTE 8. Long-term investments

Share investments consist of investments in other companies in which the Company has ownership interests ranging from approximately 0.8% to 13.2%.

(a) During fiscal 2004, the Company acquired an additional 130,027 shares in one of its private technology-based companies for cash consideration of $0.1 million that was part of a round of financing that reduced the Company’s ownership in the investment from 1.0% to 0.8%. The Company subsequently wrote down the entire investment by the amount of $1.3 million to reflect an other than temporary decline in its value.

During fiscal 2003, the Company acquired a 13.2% interest in a private technology-based company, in the amount of $2.5 million.

(b) During fiscal 2002, the Company disposed of a certain long-term investment in a publicly traded company and realized a loss of $0.3 million. In addition, the Company wrote down the remaining balance of this investment by the amount of $0.5 million to reflect an other than temporary decline in its value. The entire balance of the above-mentioned investment, which had a net book value of $0.2 million, was then reclassified as short-term investments as the Company no longer intended to hold the investment for long-term purposes. The Company sold the investment in 2003.

During fiscal 2002, the Company received an additional 107,387 shares of Broadcom Corporation (“Broadcom”), valued at $2.1 million, as a result of the release of escrow shares pursuant to the terms of the agreement to purchase the Company’s share investment in SiByte Inc. by Broadcom in the preceding fiscal year. On August 31, 2002, the Company wrote down its total investment in Broadcom by $4.7 million to reflect the other than temporary decline in its value. During fiscal 2003, the Company disposed of all its remaining shares in Broadcom, realizing a gain in the aggregate amount of $3.8 million.

Gains and losses from long-term investments are included in interest and other income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings.

NOTE 9. Credit facilities

At August 31, 2004, the Company had available bank credit facilities of $43.0 million (2003 – $25.4 million). The credit facilities are secured by way of general security agreements and personal property, covering the cash, credit balances and deposit instruments of the Company. Interest rates on the credit facilities vary and are based on the bank’s U.S. base rate, Canadian bank prime rate, U.S. dollar best lending rate or the LIBOR rate. At August 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities.

Standby fees are calculated at rates of 0.125% to 0.15% per annum on the unused portion of the facilities.

NOTE 10. Deferred revenue

(b) Mortgage payable

On September 10, 2002, CVRH, the joint venture in which the Company has a 50.0% ownership interest, entered into a mortgage agreement with a lender to finance the Building Facility. The Company’s proportionate share of the mortgage as at August 31, 2004 amounted to $11.6 million (Cdn. $15.2 million). The mortgage has a repayment term of 12 years and is denominated in Canadian dollars.

(c) The Company’s obligations under this mortgage and capital lease are as follows:

Interest of $1.1 million and $0.9 million relating to capital lease obligation and mortgage payable, respectively, is included in interest expense for fiscal 2004 (2003 – $1.1 million and $0.7 million, 2002 – $0.4 million and nil).

NOTE 12. Shareholders’ equity

(a) Common shares issued and outstanding

(b) Preferred shares

An unlimited number of preferred shares, ranking in priority upon distribution of assets over common shares, may be issued in series with additional provisions as fixed by the Board of Directors.

No preferred shares have been issued to date.

(c) Common share option plans

(i) The Company maintains a share option plan (the “ATI Plan”) for the benefit of directors, officers and employees. The ATI Plan, as amended, provides that the aggregate number of common shares available for issuance pursuant to options granted under the ATI Plan and all other share compensation arrangements are limited to 47,000,000 common shares. In general, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance in respect of any one individual may not exceed 5.0%, and in respect of insiders of the Company, may not exceed 10.0% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding.

Options are granted under the ATI Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors at exercise prices determined as the weighted average of the trading prices of the Company’s common shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange or NASDAQ for the five trading days preceding the effective date of the grant. In general, options granted under the ATI Plan vest over a period of up to four years from the grant date and expire by no later than the seventh anniversary of the date of grant.

(ii) When the Company acquired ArtX, on April 4, 2000, it assumed the ArtX common shares options plan (the “ArtX Plan”). The Company maintains the ArtX Plan for the benefit of former directors, officers, employees and consultants of ArtX. The ArtX Plan provides that the aggregate number of common shares available for issuance pursuant to options granted under the ArtX Plan and all other share compensation arrangements are limited to 8,007,599 common shares for both incentive stock options (“ISO”) and non-qualified stock options.

In general, options granted under the ArtX Plan vest immediately or within specified times or events, as was determined by the Board of Directors of ArtX, which is normally over a five-year period, and expire by the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. If the person obtaining the options owns more than 10.0% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock (10.0% shareholder), then the options will be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.

Options were granted under the ArtX Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors of ArtX at exercise prices determined as no less than 85.0% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant provided that the exercise price of an ISO will not be less than 100.0% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant and the exercise price of any option granted to a 10.0% shareholder is no less than 110.0% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

(iii) Under an incentive plan entered into in June 2002, the Company provided certain employees with a performance incentive, consisting of a combination of cash and options, the receipt of which was conditional upon the Company entering into a specified business arrangement with a third party by April 2003, later extended to July 28, 2003. The cash portion of the incentive consisted of three equal payments of $2.7 million, with each payment to be made upon achievement of specified milestones under the arrangement with the third party. Under the plan, the employees were also granted options to purchase 2.6 million common shares at an exercise price of $6.96 per share. The options vest 25.0% on the first anniversary of the grant date and thereafter at 6.25% per quarter and are only exercisable in the event the Company is successful in entering into the aforementioned arrangement. In February 2003, the Company successfully entered into the business arrangement with the third party and all the conditions under the plan were determined to have been met in July 2003. As a result, the first payment of the cash portion of the incentive, in the amount of $2.7 million, was paid and included as compensation expense during 2003. The remaining two payments aggregating $5.4 million were accrued at August 31, 2003 and are being amortized over 18 months. During fiscal 2004, the amount recorded as compensation expense was $3.5 million. No payments were made in fiscal 2004, relating to the two remaining milestones.

The following is a summary of the maximum number of common shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options:

As at August 31, 2004, the range of exercise prices for options outstanding and exercisable (vested) are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Years ended August 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

As at August 31, 2004, the price range of $0.09 to $0.93, as noted above, represents all of the options relating to the ArtX Plan. All other options outstanding or exercisable relate to the ATI Plan. During the year ended August 31, 2004, 1,094,117 options relating to the ArtX Plan were exercised at a weighted average price of $0.31 and 13,101 options were cancelled at a weighted average price of $0.31.

For stock options granted to employees after September 1, 2002, had the Company determined compensation costs based on the fair value of the stock options at grant dates consistent with the method prescribed under CICA Handbook Section 3870, the Company’s income per share would have been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The weighted average estimated fair values at the date of grant for the options granted for fiscal 2004 was $8.96 per share (2003 – $2.65). The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting period.

(d) Restricted share units

During 2004, the Company adopted a plan to grant Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) as part of its overall stock-based compensation plan. Under this plan, certain employees received an award in the form of an RSU. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive one common share on the vesting date of the RSUs. The RSUs vest on each anniversary of the grant in equal one-third instalments over a vesting period of three years. Stock-based compensation, representing the underlying value of $14.17 per common share of the Company at the date of grant of the RSUs, is being recognized evenly over the three-year vesting period. On the vesting dates, the RSUs are settled by the delivery of common shares of the Company to the participants, except for the participants residing outside of North America who will receive cash equivalent market value of the shares. Grants of RSUs to participants residing outside of North America are accounted for using variable plan accounting whereby the value of the RSUs and its related amortization are adjusted based on the underlying value of the Company’s common shares at the end of each fiscal quarter. As at August 31, 2004, there were 1,514,450 RSUs awarded and outstanding of which none were vested.

The issuance of RSUs replaced the annual grant of options for the 2003 calendar year. In addition, a one-time cash payment of $7.8 million was also awarded to the non-executive employees who were eligible for the RSU plan during 2004. The full amount of the cash payment was expensed in 2004. The total expenses by functional areas incurred for 2004 pertaining to the cash payment and amortization of RSUs are as follows:

---

During 2004, the Company advanced $22.1 million to the trustee of the RSU plan to enable the trustee to purchase the Company’s common shares in the open market. At August 31, 2004, 1,467,304 shares are being held by the trustee in order to deliver such shares to the participants on the vesting dates of the RSUs.

The cost of the purchase of these shares is classified as treasury stock and presented as a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

(e) Deferred share units

During 2004, the Company established a plan to grant Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) to its non-management directors. Under this plan, the directors will receive DSUs, in addition to cash payments, as part of their annual compensation package. A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to one common share of the Company based on the five-day average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the NASDAQ (the “Weighted Average Price”) immediately prior to the date on which the value of the DSU is determined. DSUs may be redeemed following termination of Board service, and prior to the end of the year following departure from the Board based on the Weighted Average Price at the time of redemption. Alternatively, a director may elect to receive RSUs in lieu of DSUs provided the market value of his holdings in the Company’s common stock equity is greater than $350,000. As at August 31, 2004, there were 92,082 DSUs outstanding, of which 75,155 were vested.

As of the date of the grant, the fair value of the DSUs outstanding, being the fair market value of the Company’s common shares at that date, are recorded as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the one-year vesting period of the DSU. The value of the DSU liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the market value of the Company’s common shares. The expense for fiscal 2004 related to DSUs granted to the directors for services rendered was $1.2 million.

(f) Contributed surplus

During 2004, a total of $5.8 million was added to contributed surplus relating to the amortization of RSU expenses for the employees residing in North America.

During 2003, an employee reimbursed $0.2 million (2002 – $0.4 million) to the Company for a loan receivable the Company assumed when it acquired ArtX. This transaction was recorded as contributed surplus.

During 2002, the Company cancelled for no consideration 134,200 options and 76,125 common shares with a total carrying value of $2.2 million. This transaction was recorded as contributed surplus.

Income tax expense (recovery) in the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings varies from the amount that would be computed by applying the basic Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates to income before income taxes, as shown in the following table:

Canadian income taxes were not provided for on undistributed income for certain non-Canadian subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest this income indefinitely in operations outside Canada.

As at August 31, 2004, the Company had $44.6 million of net operating losses for income tax purposes. Income tax benefits have not been recognized in these financial statements for a significant portion of these losses. These losses will begin to expire commencing in 2010.

NOTE 14. Net income (loss) per share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculations of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

As at August 31, 2004, options to purchase 5,167,670 (2003 – 16,154,211; 2002 –32,813,005) shares of common stock were outstanding but were not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 15. Guarantees

The Company and other owners of CVRH have jointly and severally provided a guarantee for the mortgage payment on the Building Facility. In the event that CVRH is unable to meet the underlying mortgage payment to the lender, the Company and other owners of CVRH will be jointly and severally responsible under this guarantee. The monthly mortgage interest and principal payment amounts to approximately $0.2 million. The mortgage has a repayment term of 12 years with a maturity date on November 1, 2014. As of August 31, 2004, the outstanding amount of the mortgage stood at $23.1 million (Cdn. $30.4 million).

In addition, the Company posted a letter of credit in the amount of $2.3 million (Cdn. $3.0 million) in favour of CVRH. CVRH has assigned this letter of credit to the exclusive benefit of the lender as additional security of the mortgage. The letter of credit has a term of five years and will expire on November 5, 2007. In the event of a lease default by the Company, the proceeds of the letter of credit will be paid to the lender.

(a) Settlement of class action lawsuits

On February 7, 2003, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement for the full and complete settlement of all remaining claims alleged in the shareholder class action lawsuits filed in May 2001 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for a cash payment of $8.0 million. This litigation relates to alleged misrepresentations and omissions made by the Company and certain directors and officers during a period preceding its May 2000 earnings warning. The terms of the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement received final Court approval on April 28, 2003 and included no admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company or other defendants. No party timely appealed the Court’s order.

During fiscal 2003, the Company received $3.3 million from its insurer as its contribution towards the settlement.

(b) Regulatory matters

In January 2003, the Company announced that Staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) had filed a Notice to Hearing and Statement of Allegations (“Notice”) in relation to the Company and others. The Notice alleged that the Company failed to disclose information concerning the shortfall in revenues and earnings that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, as required by the listing rules of The Toronto Stock Exchange. The Notice also alleged that the Company made a misleading statement to Staff of the OSC in August 2000 regarding the events leading up to the disclosure on May 24, 2000 of the shortfall. Seven individuals were also named in the Notice. The Notice alleged that six individuals, including K.Y. Ho, the then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, engaged in insider trading contrary to the Securities Act. The hearing originally set for February – March 2004 has been rescheduled to March – June 2005.

(c) Restructuring charge (recovery) – European operations

The following table details the activity through the restructuring liabilities accrual:

(i) During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company announced the closure of ATI Technologies (Europe) Limited (“ATEL”), its subsidiary in Dublin, Ireland, and recorded a pre-tax charge of $2.8 million. The charge included a $1.4 million write-down of ATEL’s building facility to estimated fair value less cost to sell. The Company completed the major components of the exit plan for ATEL in July 2003.

During fiscal 2004, the Company was able to sell ATEL’s building facility at a higher price than originally estimated resulting in a recovery of $0.5 million from the restructuring charge. The Company also paid out the remaining cash portion of the restructuring charge of $0.5 million during the year.

(ii) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of ATI Research GmbH, its FireGL product division located in Starnberg, Germany, in order to consolidate its research and development activities. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $3.8 million for the quarter pertaining to the closure of ATI Research GmbH.

During fiscal 2004, the Company recovered $0.2 million related to the restructuring charge of ATI Research GmbH.

During fiscal 2004, the Company made a cash payment of $3.5 million relating to the pre-tax charge setup in fiscal 2003. The Company completed the major components of its exit plan for ATI Research GmbH in December 2003. The remaining balance relates to unpaid facility costs and legal fees.

(d) Lease exit charge (recovery)

During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company determined that it would exit the two leased properties located in Markham, Ontario. As a result, the Company recognized the fair value of the future net costs related to the leases in the amount of $2.4 million as a charge for the second quarter.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded an additional charge of $0.3 million related to the exit costs of the above-mentioned lease properties due to a change in estimate of the fair value of the future net costs.

During fiscal 2004, the Company determined that it would re-occupy the two leased properties, due to an expansion of business. This resulted in a reduction of the previously accrued exit charge liability in the amount of $1.5 million.

(e) Settlement of patent litigation with Cirrus Logic, Inc.

Subsequent to the year end of fiscal 2003, the Company and Cirrus announced that they had entered into a cross-license agreement and had settled all outstanding litigation between the companies related to certain patent infringement lawsuits.

Under the settlement agreement, all outstanding claims and counterclaims in the lawsuits between the Company and Cirrus were dismissed. In connection with the settlement, Cirrus would transfer to the Company a portion of its patent portfolio relating to the former graphics products group of its PC products division, a business that Cirrus exited several years ago, for a cash payment of $9.0 million from the Company.

NOTE 17. Segmented information

NOTE 18. Commitments

The Company is committed to the following minimum payments related to office premises and licence and royalty agreements:

NOTE 19. Joint venture

In February 1999, the Company entered into a 50.0% ownership joint venture agreement for the purpose of constructing a new Building Facility in Markham, Ontario. The facility was completed in April 2002 and is fully occupied by the Company. The completed cost of this facility amounted to $33.3 million.

The following amounts represent the Company’s proportionate interest in the joint venture:

On May 23, 2001, the joint venture entered into an interest rate swap contract to hedge its exposure to the interest rate risk applicable to its expected future mortgage requirement. This contract was a forward start pay fixed derivative agreement for a notional amount of Cdn. $38.0 million. The agreement provided for the joint venture to pay a fixed rate of 6.42% in exchange for a floating rate equivalent to one-month Canadian bankers’acceptances. The Company and the other joint venture partners are guarantors of the credit facility. This interest rate swap contract closed on September 10, 2002, resulting in a proportionate loss of $1.4 million to the Company. The loss is treated as a deferred expense item in the consolidated balance sheets and is charged to the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings as a yield adjustment to the interest expense over the term of the mortgage.

NOTE 20. Supplemental cash flow information

During fiscal 2002, the Company acquired $16.3 million of capital assets by means of a capital lease.

NOTE 21. Canadian and United States accounting policies differences

(a) The following table reconciles net income (loss) for the year as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP to the consolidated net income (loss) for the year that would have been reported had the financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

(i) Under Canadian GAAP, purchased in-process R&D is capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life. Asset recoverability is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Under U.S. GAAP, purchased in-process R&D is written off at the time of acquisition.

(ii) Under Canadian GAAP, the aggregate purchase price of ArtX was approximately $453.0 million, which was based on the average closing market price of the Company’s common shares around April 4, 2000 (the closing date of the transaction) and merger-related costs. Under U.S. GAAP, the aggregate purchase price of ArtX was approximately $414.0 million, which was based on the average closing market price of the Company’s common shares around February 16, 2000 (the date of the announcement of the transaction) and merger-related costs. As a result, the recorded amount of goodwill and related amount of amortization expense differ. Pursuant to the adoption of new accounting standards, effective September 1, 2002, the Company discontinued amortization of all existing goodwill under both Canadian and U.S. GAAP.

(iii) Under U.S. GAAP, options granted after January 18, 2001, with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the currency of the primary economic environment of either the employer or the employee, should be accounted for under the variable accounting method. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no equivalent requirement. There were no such options granted after February 28, 2002.

(iv) Under U.S. GAAP, the intrinsic value of the stock options issued under the incentive plan entered into in July 2002 (note 12) is calculated as the increase in the Company’s stock price between the grant date and the date on which all the conditions of the specified business arrangement were determined to have been met. The compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the options. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no equivalent requirement.

(v) Under Canadian GAAP, loss on a hedging transaction is allowed to be amortized over the term of the mortgage. Under U.S. GAAP, loss on a hedging transaction is written off when the hedge is determined to be ineffective.

Years ended August 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

(vi) The Company accounts for its share options under the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for its share options plans, based on the intrinsic value, has been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings for the years ended August 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Had compensation expense for the Company’s share option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the method prescribed under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

The weighted average estimated fair values at the date of the grant, as defined by SFAS 123, for options granted in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $8.96, $2.65 and $9.15 per share option, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes fair value option pricing model with the following assumptions:

For the purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting period.

For the purposes of reporting under U.S. GAAP, the tax benefit associated with deductible stock option compensation is treated as an increase in share capital. For reporting under Canadian GAAP, if compensation costs are not recorded, the income tax benefit is treated as a reduction to the income tax provision.

(b) The following table indicates the differences between the amounts of certain balance sheet items determined in accordance with Canadian and U.S. GAAP:

(i) Canadian GAAP requires the proportionate consolidation of interests in joint ventures. Proportionate consolidation is not permitted under U.S. GAAP and interests in joint ventures are accounted for in accordance with the equity basis of accounting.

Although the adoption of proportionate consolidation has no impact on net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity, it does increase assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows from operations from those amounts otherwise reported under U.S. GAAP. This is not reflected in the table of certain balance sheet items disclosed above.

(ii) Additional disclosures as required in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

(a) As at August 31, 2004, the consolidated accounts receivable provision for returns and doubtful accounts was approximately $17.1 million (2003 – $12.3 million).

(b) As at August 31, 2004, sales rebates payable represents 23.0% of total consolidated current liabilities (2003 – 17.0%).

(c) For the year ended August 31, 2004, the net foreign exchange gain was approximately $0.5 million (2003 – gain of $0.8 million; 2002 – loss of $0.4 million).

(iii) Comprehensive income (loss):

FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS 130”), requires disclosure of comprehensive income, which includes reported net income (loss) adjusted for other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The following table presents comprehensive income (loss) and its components:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Years ended August 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

(i) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company had purchased forward foreign exchange contracts to buy Cdn. $35.0 million in the next three months at an average exchange rate of 1.3793. All of the forward foreign exchange contracts have become favourable to the Company since their inception and have a fair value of $1.3 million at August 31, 2004.

(c) New United States accounting pronouncements

(i) In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46), which is effective for the Company commencing with its 2004 fiscal year. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R which superseded FIN 46 and contains numerous exemptions. FIN 46R applies to financial statements of public entities that have or potentially have interests in entities considered special purpose entities for periods ended after December 15, 2003 and otherwise to interests in VIEs for periods ending after March 15, 2004. VIEs are entities that have insufficient equity and/or their equity investors lack one or more specified essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The guideline provides specific guidance for determining when an entity is a VIE and who, if anyone, should consolidate the VIE. The Company was not impacted by these standards.

(ii) In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including those embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is effective as of July 1, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(iii) In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of these financial instruments. SFAS No. 150 is effective as of the Company’s first quarter beginning September 1, 2003. The Company was not impacted by this standard.

NOTE 22. Litigation

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. While management currently believes the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, the impact could be material to the Company.

NOTE 23. Subsequent events

(i) On September 1, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets of RT&C International, its sales organization for South Korea, for cash consideration of $2.6 million, plus acquisition-related costs.

(ii) In September 2004, ATI signed an agreement to purchase all of the shares of a company for cash consideration of up to $3.6 million, plus acquisition-related costs. The Company, a high technology embedded solutions provider, is located in India. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close by December 31, 2004.
