UBISOFT • FINANCIAL REPORT 2007
The expiry dates of tax deficits break down as follows:
- less than 1 year: €117 thousand
- 1 to 5 years: €88 thousand
- more than 5 years: €214 thousand
- unlimited: €16,446 thousand
Due dates of deferred tax assets at March 31, 2007:
- short-term: €16,199 thousand
- long-term: €21,431 thousand
Deferred income tax assets are recognized if their
recovery is probable, particularly when taxable profit is
expected during the period of validity of the deferred tax
assets.
Because of a transfer price policy implemented at the
Group, retail companies systematically report an opera-
ting profit; similarly, the studios invoice salaries with a
margin that includes their costs structure.
There is therefore a real probability of recovery of carry-
over losses for all the companies; only Ubisoft World
Studios SAS has no sufficient short-term guarantees.
The €4.5 million decrease in tax assets was tied mainly to use of deferred depreciation as follows:
- 1 M€ by Ubisoft Entertainment SA,
- 0.9 M€ by Ubisoft EMEA SAS,
- 2.1 M€ by the France tax group.
The increase in provisions pertains to the change in value of Ubi Soft Entertainment Ltda (Brazil). This change in value is a
result of equity movements. No financial assets were used as a guarantee for debts.
