EXPLANATORY NOTE

        This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report of ATI Technologies Inc. (the “Registrant”) on Form 40-F/A for the year ended August 31, 2004 is filed herewith for the sole purpose of supplementing the information contained in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 40-F dated January 14, 2005 by disclosing that pursuant to Rule 4350(a)(i) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) Market Rules, the Registrant relies on the following exemptions:

1)  

an exemption from Rule 4350(f) of the Marketplace Rules granted to the Registrant in connection with its initial listing on the NASDAQ in 1998, requiring that each Nasdaq-quoted company have in place a minimum quorum requirement for shareholder meetings of 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of the company’s voting common stock. In accordance with the provisions of section 139(1) of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), the Registrant’s by-laws provide that a quorum is met if holders of at least 5% of the votes eligible to be cast at a meeting are present or represented by proxy at a shareholder meeting. The Registrant understands that it is not unusual for a similar quorum requirement to be found in the by-laws of other publicly-traded corporations subject to the CBCA; and


2)  

an exemption from Rule 4350(i)(1)(A) of the Marketplace Rules granted to the Registrant on February 18, 2005, requiring that each Nasdaq-quoted company obtain shareholder approval of certain amendments to equity compensation plans. The exemption was granted to the Registrant in connection with the following amendments made to its share option plan (the “Plan”): (i) setting forth additional terms and conditions for the Registrant’s employees in India; (ii) reducing the maximum term of future options to 7 years from 10 years; (iii) allowing unvested options to vest immediately upon the death of a participant; (iv) allowing, in the Registrant’s discretion, continued vesting of a participant’s options upon termination of employment other than for cause; and (v) allowing the Registrant’s board of directors to establish an exercise price for an option that is greater than the then current fair market price for the Registrant’s common shares (collectively, the “Amendments”). Under Canadian law, the Amendments to the Plan do not require shareholder approval. In addition, on November 19, 2004, the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) confirmed that there is no requirement under the rules of the TSX that the Registrant’s shareholders approve the Amendments to the Plan. The Registrant understands that it is not unusual for other corporations with securities listed on the TSX to make similar amendments to their share option plans without shareholder approval.
