(1) Deferred tax on accelerated depreciation has been reclassified under loss carryforwards.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized if their recovery is likely, particularly when taxable profit is
expected during the period of validity of the deferred tax assets.
The forecast period used to determine taxes on capitalized losses is 5 to 8 years, a period which is
considered reasonable by management. The entire loss carryforwards of the French tax group over
the past year were therefore capitalized on March 31, 2012.
The expiry of tax loss carryforwards breaks down as follows:
5 to 20 years: €574 thousand
No expiry: €9,994 thousand

Ubisoft Divertissements Inc. benefits from tax credits contingent upon the generation of taxable
income. These recoverable tax credits on future income tax payable have a life of 20 years (except prior to 2006:
10 years). Future use of these tax credits is subject to tax planning both at local level and at group level. They are
recognized on the assets side of the group balance sheet if their horizon of recovery is considered reasonable.

- Short-term: €2,459 thousand
