ter is lower than the purchase price.
Conversion of accounts payable and receivable
expressed in foreign currencies
These were converted at the rates in effect on March 31,
2006. Any resulting unrealized exchange gains or losses
are shown in the balance sheet under a special heading. A
provision for exchange risk is made in the accounts if
conversion reveals the existence of unrealized losses.
Foreign exchange hedges
Since hedges are not allocated to specific transactions,
Ubisoft has chosen not to apply the hedge accounting method
with regard to the hedging of its foreign exchange rate.
Provisions for risk and charges
Provisions for risk and charges are made when risk and
charges that relate to a clearly determined objective but
which are not certain to arise are made more likely by
events that have occurred or are in progress. As of March
31, 2006, the provisions for risk and charges covered only
the exchange risk relating to the discounting of claims and
debts denominated in foreign currencies.
