3) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

The following changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:

 

On July 9, 2008, Activision and Vivendi Games combined their businesses as a result of the consummation of the Business Combination.  See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Form 10-Q for a description of the Business Combination.  As a result of the Business Combination, Activision, Inc. was renamed Activision Blizzard, Inc.  For accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as a “reverse acquisition,” with Vivendi Games, Inc. deemed to be the acquirer.  The historical financial statements of Activision Blizzard, Inc. prior to July 9, 2008 are those of Vivendi Games, Inc.

The Company’s management considers the Business Combination material to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position from the date of the acquisition through September 30, 2008, and believes that the internal control over financial reporting of Vivendi Games has a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 

Accordingly, there have been changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Prior to July 9, 2008, Vivendi Games was a wholly owned subsidiary of Vivendi S.A.  As a wholly owned subsidiary operating as a business unit within the Vivendi S.A. group, Vivendi Games had not historically prepared financial statements for separate stand-alone purposes, had its taxable income processed within the Vivendi U.S. tax returns and did not maintain an external financial reporting group or tax group.  Internal controls were determined to be adequate to comply with Vivendi S.A.’s internal reporting requirements under International Financial Reporting Standards. For purposes of inclusion in Activision’s proxy statement related to the Business Combination, Vivendi Games prepared U.S. GAAP stand-alone financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and these stand-alone financial statements were issued after the announcement of the transaction.  It was determined that the following matters constituted material weaknesses as it related to those stand-alone financial statements.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, on a stand-alone U.S. GAAP basis, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, Vivendi Games did not properly design and/or operate effective controls to detect certain errors in the preparation, classification and disclosure of its financial statements; additionally, Vivendi Games did not properly design and/or operate effective controls to detect certain errors in the preparation of the stand-alone tax provision and related tax disclosures in its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Activision, Inc.’s management concluded that Activision, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2008. Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination on July 9, 2008, Activision, Inc.’s management became responsible for establishing and maintaining the combined Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including financial statement preparation and reporting and tax provision preparation and reporting.
