1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Activision, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The information
furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995.
Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation. These
reclassifications had no impact on previously reported working capital or
results of operations.

4. DEFERRED REVENUE
The Company defers recognition of revenue from licensing agreements until
the completion by the Company of its future obligations under such
agreements including, but not limited to, the achievement of technological
feasibility of the products or assets to be delivered under such
obligations and future collectibility. Deferred revenue of $1,631,000 as
of June 30, 1995 represents minimum guarantee payments received by the
Company in advance of future deliveries of products and/or assets under
such agreements.
5. AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective April 1, 1992, the Disc Company, Inc. ("TDC"), a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Consumer
Technologies Corporation, was merged with and into the Company, with the
Company as the surviving corporation. The excess of the purchase price
over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as
an intangible asset in the amount of $24,417,000. This intangible asset
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 20 year period.
Amortization was approximately $305,000 for each of the quarters ended June
30, 1995 and 1994. The Company systematically evaluates current and
expected cash flow from operations on a non-discounted basis for the
purpose of assessing the recoverability of recorded intangible assets.
Some of the factors considered in this evaluation include operating
results, business plans, budgets and economic projections. Should such
factors indicate that recoverability might be impaired, the Company would
appropriately adjust the recorded amount of the intangible asset and/or the
period over which the recorded intangible asset is amortized.

======= ======= ======= =======
For purposes of the foregoing presentation, net revenues from set-top
systems relate to sales of those entertainment software products designed by the
Company for operation on a hardware device that is connected to a television set
and displayed on a television screen. Examples of set-top systems include Super
Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation,
Atari Jaguar, CD-I and 3DO Multiplayer. The Company designs products for
operation on many of these systems, and normally it is required to pay a license
fee for the right to create products for a particular system. Net revenues from
desk-top systems relate to sales of those entertainment software products
designed by the Company for operation through a personal computer's operating
system software and that is displayed on the computer's monitor. Examples of
computer operating systems include MS-DOS, Windows and the Macintosh operating
system. The Company generally is not obligated to pay a license fee for the
right to produce desk-top products.
Net revenues from Activision Studios relate to those entertainment software
products (both set-top and desk-top) designed, developed and produced through
the Company's Activision Studios division and that are owned by the Company.
Net revenues from Activision Business Development relate to those entertainment
software products developed by third parties for which the Company acquires all
or certain distribution rights. Such distribution rights may take the form of a
co-ownership arrangement or a license, and the Company's obligation to incur
marketing, promotion, sales and advertising expenses in connection with the
rights being acquired may vary from product to product.
Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 increased 2% from the same
period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased licensing
revenues in Japan. North American set-top revenues for the quarter ended June
30, 1995 increased 44% from the same period last year. The increase was
primarily due to continuing sales of "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure" which was
originally released in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. North
American desk-top revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 increased 31%
from the same period last year due to CD-based software releases during the
quarter, including "Paparazzi," "Activision's Atari Action Pack 2," and the
"Infocom Collections" series. European net revenues decreased due to the
absence of any significant new release during the quarter. Japan licensing and
other revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 increased 491% from the same
period last year primarily due to the licensing of "Pitfall: The Mayan
Adventure", "Shanghai Great Moments" and "Return to Zork" for certain platforms
in the territory.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods related to product sales represents the manufacturing and
related costs of computer software and video games. Manufacturers of the
Company's computer software are located in the United States and Europe and are
readily available. Video games are manufactured by the respective video game
console manufacturers, Nintendo and Sega, who require significant lead time to
fulfill the Company's orders.
Also included in cost of goods is royalty expense related to amounts due to
developers, title owners or other royalty participants based on product sales.
Various contracts are maintained with developers, product title owners or other
royalty participants which state a royalty rate and term of agreement, among
other items. The decrease in cost of goods sold is related to the decrease in
product sales.

</TABLE>
Product development expenses increased both in amount and as a percentage
of revenues due to higher head count expenditures related to the increased
number of products in product development and the increase in production costs
associated with live-action video production, enhanced audio content and
technology on such products. Approximately 89% of product development expenses
relate to products which will be released later in the current fiscal year.
Sales and marketing expenses also increased both in amount and as a percentage
of revenues as a result of expanded advertising and marketing programs for both
specific product releases and corporate awareness programs as well as increased
head count related expenses. General and administrative expenses increased due
to an increase in head count related expenses as compared to the same period in
the prior year.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income was $525,000 and $349,000 for the quarters ended June 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively. The substantial increase was due to the higher
yields earned on cash and cash equivalents during the current fiscal quarter as
compared to the same period in the prior year.
Provision for Income Taxes
The income taxes of approximately $39,000 and $11,000 recorded in the
provision for income taxes for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, represent foreign taxes withheld. These foreign taxes may be
available in the future as tax credits against future tax liability. In
addition, the Company has significant net operating losses which may be carried
forward against any future taxable income for both federal and state tax
purposes.
Net Income (Loss)
For the reasons noted above, there was an increase in the net loss recorded
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the net loss for the quarter
ended June 30, 1994. Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was
$5,528,000 compared to a net loss of $1,873,000 for the same period of the prior
fiscal year.
Revenues and profits are very seasonal in the software publishing
industry with the fourth calendar quarter generally considered the strongest due
to increased sales for the holiday season. The Company participates in a highly
dynamic and volatile industry, which is affected by seasonality, changing
technology, limited platform cycles, hit products, competition, component
supplies, consumer spending, economic trends and other factors. In addition,
factors specific to the Company such as the timing and availability of new video
game and computer software titles may affect the predictability of financial
results and may contribute further to the volatility of the Company's stock
price. Thus, results for the period should not be annualized and are not
expected to be indicative of annual results. In addition, as a result of the
foregoing factors, the Company's common stock price has experienced significant
volatility historically, and may be subject to continued volatility.
In addition to the historically volatile elements noted, the industry is
expected to undergo significant change due in part to the introduction or
planned introduction of numerous new hardware platforms and electronic delivery
systems and the entry and participation of new companies in interactive media.
The difficulties in predicting which new platforms will be commercially
successful, the timing of such platforms' releases, and which new companies
entering the interactive arena will have a material impact on the industry,
cause additional uncertainty in predicting financial results of the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital decreased $5.6 million from March 31, 1995 to
June 30, 1995. The Company had approximately $33.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents at June 30, 1995. At June 30, 1995, net accounts receivable and
inventories were approximately $5.5 million, a decrease of approximately $2.0
million from approximately $7.5 million as of March 31, 1995. The decrease is
due to the collections of receivable balances in the first quarter of the fiscal
year and a decrease in revenues from the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal
year.
As of June 30, 1995, total accounts payable and accrued liabilities were
approximately $6.1 million versus $5.7 million at March 31, 1995. The increase
at June 30, 1995 is related to a increase in operating expenses in the first
quarter of the fiscal year compared with the quarter ended June 30, 1994.
Management believes that the Company's existing capital resources are
sufficient to meet its requirements for the foreseeable future. The private
placements completed by the Company during the 1994 fiscal year have provided,
and will continue to provide, the Company with greater resources to enable it to
acquire properties for development, engage in more extensive product development
and expand marketing activities, and increased working capital for operations.
The Company may use a portion of its working capital to acquire or invest in
other consumer software development or publishing companies; however, the
Company has not entered into any agreements or understandings with regard to any
such acquisitions or investments.
The Company's management currently believes that inflation has not had, and
will not have, a material impact on continuing operations.
