REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Vivendi Games, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vivendi Games, Inc. (“Vivendi Games,” as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, owner’s equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of Vivendi Games’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Vivendi Games’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Vivendi Games, Inc. as described in Note 1 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

As more fully described in Note 2, beginning on January 1, 2006, Vivendi Games’ trade names were reclassified from finite to indefinite-lived assets and are no longer being amortized. In addition, Vivendi Games adopted SFAS No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment and began expensing share-based awards as of January 1, 2005.
