In April 1988 Atari Games purchased 15.62 acres in the Oakmead-San Jose Business Park to build a new factory and a new office building. The site also provided us with room to build another building to handle future expansion. Recently, the Executive Committee made a decision to sell the land, because it was discovered that much more management time than originally anticipated would have to be devoted to the project to make it a success. Further, the matter was complicated by the ongoing litigation with Nintendo. For these reasons, we believe it is better to continue leasing our present buildings, as we have very good leases, and sell the 15.62 acres. In addition, we purchased the land at a rock bottom price, so we stand to make a nice profit when the land sale is final. We certainly can use the money to grow our business with Tengen's. If you have any questions on the land sale, please see your departmental Vice President. Dennis Wood
