Atari Inc. (ATAR) delayed filing its report for the year ended March 31 in order to provide time to determine the amount of a fourth-quarter goodwill impairment charge. The New York-based interactive entertainment company expects the charge to equate or consist of a substantial portion of the $54.1 million of goodwill that was recorded before the impairment. The charge was the result of a significant decline in Atari's market capitalization, the company said. Excluding the charge, the loss for the year was about $17.2 million, or $1.28 a share.

The St. Louis-based retailer lowered its outlook based on sales results for the 10-week period ended June 9 as well as same-store sales declines of 7 percent to 9 percent. The previous forecast assumed same-store sales would be flat to the negative low-single digit range.
