UBI SOFT / REFERENCE DOCUMENT
>>> II. EVENTS AFTER CLOSURE OF ACCOUNTS
No events likely to have an impact on the financial statements have
occurred since closure.
>>> III. IMPACT OF TRANSITION TO THE EURO
Companies in the euro area made the transition to the euro on April
1, 2001, the first day of the 2001/2002 financial year (with the excep-

REPORT BY THE STATUTORY AUDITORS
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS - FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2001
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to the assignment vested in us by your General Meeting, we have audited the consolidated
accounts of UBI Soft Entertainment SA for the financial year to March 31, 2001, as appended to this report.
The consolidated accounts were given final approval by the Board of Directors on September 12, 2001,
following strict application of the provisions governing the handling of deferred taxes set out in
Regulation 99-02 of the CRC. Tax savings generated by loss-making susbsidiaries were thus corrected in
the amount of 0.9 million euros, with no change in income before interest and tax or pre-tax profit. It is
our responsibility to express an opinion of these accounts based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with accepted professional standards. These standards require
due diligence in order to ascertain with reasonable certainty that the consolidated accounts contain no
material anomalies. An audit consists of the examination, on a sampling basis, of evidence relevant to
the amounts and to the disclosures made in the financial statements. It also involves an assessment of
the accounting principles applied, of the significant estimates made in the preparation of the financial
statements and of their overall presentation. It is our view that the audit we have carried out forms a true
and fair basis for the opinion expressed below.
We hereby certify that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the results obtained for the
period in question and of the financial situation and assets of the consolidated corporate entity at the
end of the accounting period.
We have also verified the information on the Group given in the management report. We have no com-
ments to make on the accuracy of this information or its consistency with the consolidated accounts.
