EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are amending our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 9, 2006 (the “Original Filing”) to restate our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and the related disclosures. This amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A also includes the restatement of our selected consolidated financial data as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, which is included in Item 6, and our unaudited quarterly financial data for each of the quarters in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, which is included in Item 7. See Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of the effect of the restatement. The impacts of the restatement adjustments extend to periods from the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994 through the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006. Our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2006 are also being restated and a Form 10-Q/A is expected to be filed shortly after this Form 10-K/A. In these restated consolidated financial statements, the cumulative compensation expense, including the related income tax impacts, as of March 31, 2003, is recognized as a net decrease to beginning retained earnings as of March 31, 2003. All share and per share information presented in this report has been adjusted to reflect splits and dividends of our common stock.

The restatement reflects the findings of a special subcommittee of independent members of our Board of Directors, which was established in July 2006 to review our historical stock option granting practices (the “Special Subcommittee”). The Special Subcommittee conducted its investigation with the assistance of Munger Tolles & Olson LLP as its independent counsel and Deloitte & Touche USA LLP (“Deloitte”) as forensic accounting experts retained by counsel. The Special Subcommittee found that 3,450 of the option grants reviewed, covering 148,747,202 shares, required measurement date corrections. As a result, we recorded approximately $66.7 million in additional pre-tax ($45.4 million after-tax) non-cash stock-based compensation expense over the thirteen year period from April 1, 1993 through March 31, 2006 in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and $0.6 million in additional pre-tax non-cash stock-based compensation expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. More than 80%, or $55.4 million of the $66.7 million, relates to periods through March 31, 2003 and 4% or $2.6 million of the non-cash pre-tax expense relates to the most recent fiscal year covered by this report. Separately, the restatement reflects an additional $1.7 million pre-tax charge ($1.1 million after-tax) related to recently identified insufficient payroll tax withholdings in fiscal 2005.

In connection with the restatement of stock-based compensation expense, we are also restating the pro forma disclosures for stock-based compensation expense required under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock—Based Compensation” included in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Special Subcommittee reviewed 4,849 option grants covering 204,230,604 shares and found that 3,450 grants covering 148,747,202 shares required measurement date corrections. A majority of the grants requiring measurement date corrections (measured by number of shares) occurred on 16 dates over the 15-year period. The need for these measurement date corrections arose from failure to understand and apply the correct accounting rules,

failure to establish and maintain adequate procedures and controls, failure on certain occasions to appreciate the implications of available information, and insufficient finality and documentation. As a result, the exercise prices for certain options were affected by selection of grant dates with hindsight, which led to errors in the determination of measurement dates, and we did not correctly account for modifications and repricings after initial grant dates.

The Special Subcommittee found that four individuals – former heads of human resources, finance and legal, and a senior partner of our former outside corporate law firm who sat on and acted as secretary to our Board - bore significant responsibility, in varying degrees, for measurement date inaccuracies by virtue of their positions and/or involvement in the option granting process at varying times. The Special Subcommittee made no finding as to intentional wrongdoing by these individuals.

The Special Subcommittee also determined that Robert A. Kotick (chairman of the board and chief executive officer), Brian G. Kelly (co-chairman of the board), Ronald Doornink (director and senior advisor), and George Rose (senior vice president, general counsel and secretary) did not engage in intentional wrongdoing with respect to our stock option granting practices.

For more information on these matters, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures”; and Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have not amended, and we do not intend to amend, any of our other previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the periods affected by the restatement other than this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2006. As part of our review, we also determined that we need to amend our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 originally filed with the SEC on August 8, 2006, and an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for that period is expected to be filed shortly after this Form 10-K/A. We have not amended and we do not intend to amend any of our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as a result of our restatement. For this reason, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial information contained in any related previously filed financial reports should no longer be relied upon.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-K/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety, as amended by, and to reflect, the restatement. This Form 10-K/A also reflects certain corrections to the exhibit index of the Original Filing that came to our attention in the course of preparing this Form 10-K/A and other pending filings. The following sections of this Form 10-K/A have been amended to reflect the restatement and exhibit index corrections.

This amended Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with any current reports that have been filed on Form 8-K subsequent to the date of the Original Filing. Additionally, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 should no longer be relied upon.

PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

(a) General

Our products cover diverse game categories including action/adventure, action sports, racing, role-playing, simulation, first-person action, and strategy. Our target customer base ranges from casual players to game enthusiasts, children to adults, and mass-market consumers to “value” buyers. We currently offer our products primarily in versions that operate on the Sony PlayStation 2 (“PS2”), Nintendo GameCube (“GameCube”), Microsoft Xbox (“Xbox”), and Microsoft Xbox 360 (“Xbox360”) console systems, Nintendo Game Boy Advance (“GBA”), Sony PlayStation Portable (“PSP”), and Nintendo Dual Screen (“NDS”) hand-held devices, and the personal computer (“PC”). The installed base for this current-generation of hardware platforms is significant and we anticipate the fiscal 2006 release of the Xbox360 and the upcoming calendar 2006 releases of the Sony PlayStation 3 (“PS3”) and the Nintendo Wii (“Wii”) will further expand the software market over the next few years by expanding the installed base. We successfully executed our strategy of having a high-quality product presence at the launch of the Xbox360, releasing four titles concurrent with the console launch, and are currently developing additional titles for the Xbox360. We are currently developing three launch titles for the PS3, Call of Duty 3, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and Tony Hawk’s Project 8, and three launch titles for the Wii, Call of Duty 3, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam. Our plan is to have a significant presence at the launch of both the PS3 and the Wii while marketing to current-generation platforms as long as this remains economically attractive given their large installed base.

Our publishing business involves the development, marketing, and sale of products directly, by license, or through our affiliate label program with certain third-party publishers. Our distribution business consists of operations in Europe that provide logistical and sales services to third-party publishers of interactive entertainment software, our own publishing operations, and manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware.

We were originally incorporated in California in 1979. In December 1992, we reincorporated in Delaware. In June 2000, we reorganized into the current holding company organizational structure.

In April 2003, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend. The split was paid on June 6, 2003 to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2003. In February 2004, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend. The split was paid on March 15, 2004 to shareholders of record as of February 23, 2004. In February 2005, the Board of Directors approved a four-for-three split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 33-1/3% stock dividend. The split was paid March 22, 2005 to shareholders of record as of March 7, 2005. In September 2005, the Board of Directors approved a four-for-three split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 33-1/3% stock dividend. The split was paid October 24, 2005 to shareholders of record as of October 10, 2005. The par value of our common stock was maintained at the pre-split amount of $.000001. All share and per share data have been restated as if the stock splits had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

(b) Business Combinations

We have completed a number of acquisitions of both software development companies and interactive entertainment product distribution companies. During fiscal 2006, we continued to enhance our internal product development capabilities with the acquisition of two game developers, Toys for Bob, Inc. and Beenox, Inc. Additionally, in May 2006, we entered into an agreement to acquire video game publisher RedOctane Inc., the

publisher of the popular Guitar Hero franchise. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for additional information regarding the accounting treatment of these and prior acquisitions.

(c) Financial Information About Industry Segments

We have two reportable segments: publishing and distribution. Publishing relates to the development (both internally and externally), marketing and sale of DVD, CD, UMD, online, and cartridge-based interactive entertainment software products owned or controlled by us directly, by license, or through our affiliate label program with certain third-party publishers. Distribution primarily refers to logistical and sales services provided by our European distribution subsidiaries to third-party publishers of interactive entertainment software, our own publishing operations and manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for certain financial information regarding reporting segment and geographic areas required by Item 1.

(d) Forward-Looking Statements

(e) Narrative Description of Business

Our objective is to be a worldwide leader in the development, publishing, and distribution of quality interactive entertainment software products that deliver a highly satisfying consumer entertainment experience. Our business strategy, the key components of our business operations, and the risk factors that could impact our business are detailed below.

Strategy

Create, Acquire, and Maintain Strong Brands. We focus development and publishing activities principally on products that are, or have the potential to become, franchise properties with sustainable consumer appeal and brand recognition. It is our experience that these products can then serve as the basis for sequels, prequels, and related new products that can be released over an extended period of time. We believe that the publishing and distribution of products based in large part on franchise properties enhances predictability of revenues and the probability of high unit volume sales and operating profits. We have entered into a series of strategic relationships with the owners of intellectual property pursuant to which we have acquired the rights to publish products based on franchises such as Marvel Comics’ properties, including Spider-Man and X-Men. We have a multi-year, multi-property, publishing agreement with DreamWorks LLC that grants us the exclusive rights to publish video games based on DreamWorks Animation SKG’s theatrical release “Shrek 2,” which was released in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, “Shark Tale,” which was released in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, “Madagascar,” which was released in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, “Over the Hedge,” which was released in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and all of their respective forthcoming sequels, including “Shrek the Third” and “Madagascar 2.” As part of our agreement with DreamWorks Animation SKG, we have the exclusive video game rights to potential future films in the “Shrek” franchise beyond “Shrek the Third,” upcoming movies, including “Bee Movie” and “Kung Fu Panda,” as well as other films currently in development, including “Rex Havoc” and “How to Train Your Dragon.” We have a strategic alliance with Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. that grants us the exclusive, worldwide interactive rights to develop and publish “World

Series of Poker” video games based on the popular World Series of Poker Tournament. We also have a strategic relationship with professional skateboarder Tony Hawk through an exclusive multi-year agreement to develop video games using his name and likeness. Through fiscal 2006, we have released seven successful titles in the Tony Hawk franchise. We also have created a number of successful internally developed intellectual properties such as the True Crime and Call of Duty franchise properties, and GUN. Recently we have also signed agreements with Hasbro Properties Group to develop and publish video games based on the “Transformers” brand and with MGM Interactive and EON Productions Ltd. to develop and publish video games based on the James Bond license.

Execute Disciplined Product Selection and Development Processes. The success of our publishing business depends, in significant part, on our ability to develop high quality games that will generate high unit volume sales. Our publishing units have implemented a formal control process for the selection, development, production, and quality assurance of our products. We apply this process, which we refer to as the “Greenlight Process,” to all of our products, whether externally or internally developed. The Greenlight Process includes in-depth reviews of each project at four important stages of development by a team that includes many of our highest-ranking operating managers and coordination between our sales and marketing personnel and development staff at each step in the process.

We develop our products using a combination of our internal development resources and external development resources acting under contract with us. We typically select our external developers based on their track record and expertise in producing products in the same category. One developer will often produce the same game for multiple platforms and will produce sequels to the original game. We believe that selecting and using development resources in this manner allows us to leverage the particular expertise of our internal and external development resources, which we believe adds to the quality of our products.

Create and Maintain Diversity in Product Mix, Platforms, and Markets. We believe that maintaining a diversified mix of products can reduce our operating risks and enhance profitability. Therefore, we develop and publish products spanning a wide range of product categories, including action/adventure, action sports, racing, role-playing, simulation, first-person action, and strategy. We also develop products designed for target audiences ranging from casual players to game enthusiasts, children to adults, and mass-market consumers to “value” buyers. Presently, we concentrate on developing, publishing, and distributing products that operate on PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and the next-generation Xbox360 console systems, GBA, PSP, and NDS hand-held devices, and the PC. We are developing products for the PS3 and Wii next-generation console systems which are expected to be released in calendar 2006. We typically offer our products for use on multiple platforms in order to reduce the risks associated with any single platform, leverage our costs over a larger installed hardware base, and increase unit sales.

Continue to Improve Profitability. We continually strive to manage risk and increase our operating leverage and efficiency with the goal of increased profitability. We believe the key factor affecting our future profitability will be the success rate of our product releases. Therefore, our product selection and development process includes, as a significant component, periodic evaluations of the expected commercial success of products under development. Through this process, for titles that we determine to be less promising, corrections are made in the development process or, if necessary, they are discontinued before we incur additional development costs. In addition, we believe our focus on cross platform releases and branded products will contribute to improved profitability.

We continue to focus on increasing our margins. We have, for example, acquired certain experienced and specialized developers in instances where we can enhance profitability through the elimination of royalty obligations. Additionally, we often rely on independent third-party interactive entertainment software developers to develop some of our software products, thereby taking advantage of specialized independent developers without incurring the fixed overhead obligations associated with increased internally employed staff.

Our sales and marketing staff work with our studio resources to increase the visibility of new product launches and to coordinate the timing and promotion of product releases. Our finance and sales and marketing personnel work together to improve inventory management and receivables collections. We have instituted broad, objective-based reward programs that provide incentives to management and staff throughout the organization to produce results that meet our financial objectives.

Grow Through Continued Strategic Acquisitions and Alliances. The interactive entertainment industry has been consolidating, and we believe that success in this industry will be driven in part by the ability to take advantage of scale. Specifically, smaller companies are more capital constrained, enjoy less predictability of revenues and cash flow, lack product diversity and must spread fixed costs over a smaller revenue base. Several industry leaders are

emerging that combine the entrepreneurial and creative spirit of the industry with professional management, the ability to access the capital markets, and the ability to maintain favorable relationships with developers, intellectual property owners, and retailers. Through numerous completed acquisitions since 1997, we believe that we have successfully diversified our operations, our channels of distribution, our development talent pool, and our library of titles, and have emerged as one of the industry’s leaders. We intend to continue to evaluate the expansion of our resources through acquisitions, strategic relationships, and key license transactions. We intend to continue expanding our intellectual property library through key license transactions and strategic relationships with intellectual property owners and to continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our development capacity through the acquisition of or investment in selected experienced software development firms.

Products

Historically, we have been best known for our action/adventure, strategy, and simulation products. We have been successful in the superheroes and skateboarding categories with our release of titles based on the Spider-Man and X-Men properties, as well as the Tony Hawk franchise. We have also been successful in the first person action categories through the Call of Duty original intellectual property, which we plan on continuing as a successful long-term franchise. We have established ourselves as a leader in the “value” software publishing business with products under our Cabela’s, Rapala’s, World Series of Poker, and Greg Hasting’s Paintball licenses, as well as with products distributed on behalf of our “value” affiliate label partners. Products published by us in this category are generally developed by third parties, often under contract with us, and are marketed under the Activision Value Publishing name. Value software is typically less sophisticated and less complex, both in terms of the development process and consumer gameplay.

Hardware Licenses. Our products currently are being developed or published primarily for PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Xbox360 console systems; GBA, PSP, and NDS hand-held devices; and PCs. We are also developing products for the PS3 and Wii next-generation console systems expected to be released in calendar 2006. In order to maintain general access to the console systems and hand-held devices marketplace, we have maintained licenses for PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Xbox360 console systems and GBA, PSP, and NDS hand-held devices with the owners of each such platform. Each license allows us to create multiple products for the applicable platform, subject to certain approval rights which are reserved by each licensor. Each license also requires that we pay the licensor a per unit royalty for each unit manufactured. In contrast, we are not required to obtain any license for the development and production of products for PCs.

Intellectual Property Rights. Many of our current and planned releases are based on intellectual property and other character or story rights licensed from third parties, as well as a combination of characters, worlds, and concepts derived from our extensive library of titles, and original characters and concepts owned and created by us. When publishing products based on licensed intellectual property rights, we generally seek to capitalize on the name recognition, marketing efforts, and goodwill associated with the underlying property. For intellectual property owned by Activision, we generally attempt to establish such properties as sustainable, long-term game franchises.

In acquiring intellectual property rights from third parties, we seek to obtain rights to publish titles across a variety of platforms, to include the ability to produce multiple titles and to retain rights over an extended period of time. In past years, we have been able to enter into a series of long-term or multi-product agreements with owners of various intellectual properties that are well known throughout the world and to create products based on these recognizable characters, story lines, or concepts. These agreements typically provide us with exclusive publishing rights for a specific period of time and, in some cases, for specified platforms and, in other cases, with renewal rights upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The scope of our licensing activities includes theatrical motion pictures, television shows, animated films and series, comic books, literary works, sports personalities and events, and celebrities. We intend to continue expanding relationships with our existing intellectual property partners and to enter into agreements with other intellectual property owners for additional recognizable properties, characters, story lines and concepts. However, we may not be able to maintain or expand our existing relationships or to seek out and sustain new long-term relationships of similar caliber in the future.

Product Development and Support

We develop and produce titles using a model in which a core group of creative, production, and technical professionals, in coordination with our marketing and finance departments, have responsibility for the entire development and production process including the supervision and coordination of internal and external resources. This team assembles the necessary creative elements to complete a title using, where appropriate, outside

programmers, artists, animators, scriptwriters, musicians and songwriters, sound effects and special effects experts, and sound and video studios. We believe that this model allows us to supplement internal expertise with top quality external resources on an as-needed basis.

In addition, we often seek out and engage independent third-party developers to create products on our behalf. Such products are sometimes owned by us, and usually we have unlimited rights to commercially exploit these products. In other circumstances, the third-party developer may retain ownership of the intellectual property and/or technology included in the product and reserve certain exploitation rights. We typically select these independent third-party developers based on their expertise in developing products in a specific category and use the same developer to produce the same game for multiple platforms. Each of our third-party developers is under contract with us for specific or multiple titles. From time to time, we also acquire the license rights to publish and/or distribute software products that are or will be independently created by third-party developers. In such cases, the agreements with such developers provide us with exclusive publishing and/or distribution rights for a specific period of time, often for specified platforms and territories. In either case, we often have the ability to publish and/or distribute sequels, conversions, enhancements, and add-ons to the product initially being produced by the independent developer and frequently have the right to engage the services of the original developer with regard to the development of such products.

In consideration for the services that the independent third-party developer provides, it receives a royalty generally based on net sales of the product that it has developed. Typically, the developer also receives an advance, which we recoup from the royalties otherwise payable to the developer. The advance generally is paid in “milestone” stages. The payment at each stage is tied to the completion and delivery of a detailed performance milestone. Working with an independent developer allows us to reduce our fixed development costs, share development risks with the third-party developer, take advantage of the third-party developer’s expertise in connection with certain categories of products or certain platforms, and gain access to proprietary development technologies.

From time to time, we may make a capital investment and hold a minority interest in a third-party developer in connection with interactive entertainment software products to be developed by such developer for us, which we believe helps to create a closer relationship between us and the developer. We account for those capital investments over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence using the equity method. For those investments over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, we account for our investment using the cost method. There can be no assurance that we will realize long-term benefits from such investments or that we will continue to carry such investments at their current value.

“Greenlight Process”

We have adopted and implemented a rigorous procedure for the selection, development, production, and quality assurance of our internally and externally produced interactive entertainment software titles. The process, known internally as the “Greenlight Process,” involves four phases throughout the development and production phases of a title, each of which includes a number of specific performance milestones. The four phases of the “Greenlight Process” are the concept, prototype, first playable, and alpha. This procedure is designed to enable us to manage and control production and development budgets and timetables, to identify and address production and technical issues at the earliest opportunity, and to coordinate marketing and quality control strategies throughout the production and development phases, all in an environment that fosters creativity. Checks and balances are intended to be provided through the structured interaction of the project team with our creative, technical, marketing, and quality assurance/customer support personnel, as well as our legal, accounting, and finance departments. In order to maintain the competitiveness of our products and to take advantage of increasingly sophisticated technology associated with hardware platforms, our development process includes a significant amount of time for play-testing new products, and extensive product quality evaluations.

Product Support

We provide various forms of product support to both our internally and externally developed titles. Our quality assurance personnel are involved throughout the development and production of each title published by us. We subject all such products to extensive testing before release to ensure compatibility with all appropriate hardware systems and configurations and to minimize the number of bugs and other defects found in the products. To support our products after release, we provide online access to our customers on a 24-hour basis as well as telephone operator help lines during regular business hours. The customer support group tracks customer inquiries and we use this data to help improve the development and production processes.

Publishing Activities

Marketing

Our marketing efforts include online activities (such as the creation of World Wide Web pages to promote specific titles), public relations, print and broadcast advertising, coordinated in-store and industry promotions (including merchandising and point of purchase displays), participation in cooperative advertising programs, direct response vehicles, and product sampling through demonstration software distributed through the Internet or on compact discs. From time to time, we also receive marketing support from hardware manufacturers and retailers in connection with their own promotional efforts. In addition, certain of our products contain software that enables customers to “electronically register” their purchases with us online.

We believe that certain of our franchise properties have loyal and devoted audiences who purchase our sequels as a result of dedication to the property and satisfaction from previous product purchases. We therefore market these sequels both toward the established market as well as broader audiences. In addition, in marketing titles based on licensed properties, we believe that we derive benefits from the continued exploitation of these licensed properties and the marketing and promotional activities of the property owners.

Sales and Distribution

North America. Our products are available for sale or rental in thousands of retail outlets domestically. Our North American customers include Best Buy, Blockbuster, Circuit City, GameStop, Target, Toys “R” Us, and Wal-Mart. Our largest customers, Wal-Mart and GameStop, accounted for approximately 22% and 10% of consolidated net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2006. For the year ended March 31, 2005, our largest customer, Wal-Mart, accounted for 23% of consolidated net revenues.

In the United States and Canada, our products are sold primarily on a direct basis to mass-market retailers, consumer electronics stores, discount warehouses, and game specialty stores. We believe that a direct relationship with retail accounts results in more effective inventory management, merchandising, and communications than would be possible through indirect relationships. We have implemented electronic data interchange linkages with many of our retailers to facilitate the placing and shipping of orders. We sell our products to a limited number of distributors.

International. Our products are sold internationally on a direct-to-retail basis, through third-party distribution and licensing arrangements, and through our wholly-owned European distribution subsidiaries. We conduct our international publishing activities through offices in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, Australia, and Japan. Whenever practicable, we seek to maximize our worldwide revenues and profits by releasing high quality foreign language releases concurrently with English language releases and by continuing to expand the number of direct selling relationships we maintain with key retailers in major territories.

Affiliate Labels. In addition to our own products, we distribute a select number of interactive entertainment products that are developed and marketed by other third-party publishers through our “affiliate label” programs in North America, Europe, and Australia. The distribution of other publishers’ products allows us to increase the efficiencies of our sales force and provides us with the ability to better ensure adequate shelf presence at retail stores for all of the products that we distribute. Distributing other publishers’ titles mitigates the risk associated with a particular title or titles published by us failing to achieve expectations. Services provided by us under our affiliate label program include order solicitation, in-store marketing, logistics and order fulfillment, sales channel management, as well as other accounting and general administrative functions. Our current affiliate label partners include LucasArts, as well as several affiliate label partners in our “value” business. Each affiliate label relationship is unique and may pertain only to distribution in certain geographic territories such as the North America, Europe, or Australia and may be further limited only to specific titles or titles for specific platforms.

See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for certain financial information regarding reporting segments and geographic areas required by Item 1.

Distribution

We distribute interactive entertainment hardware and software products in Europe through our European distribution subsidiaries: Centresoft in the United Kingdom; NBG in Germany; and CD Contact in the Benelux

countries. These subsidiaries act as wholesalers in the distribution of products and also provide packaging and logistical and sales services. They provide services to our publishing operations and to various third-party publishers, including Sony Computer Entertainment (“Sony”), Nintendo Co. Ltd. (“Nintendo”), and Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”). Centresoft is Sony’s exclusive distributor of PlayStation products to the independent channel in the United Kingdom. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, sales for Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft accounted for approximately 24%, 3%, and 3%, respectively, of our worldwide distribution net revenues.

We entered into the distribution business to obtain distribution capacity in Europe for our own products, while supporting the distribution infrastructure with third-party sales, and to diversify our operations into the European market. Centresoft and our other distribution subsidiaries operate in accordance with strict confidentiality procedures in order to provide independent services to various third-party publishers.

Emerging Technologies

We are actively supporting emerging platforms (wireless devices, digital downloads, closed and open online networks, and interactive television) by publishing and licensing key brands for these emerging platforms. We have published and licensed rights to various brands, such as Ultimate Spider-Man, Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, Call of Duty 2, X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse (“X-Men Legends II”), and Fantastic Four for various hand-held wireless devices, such as Nokia’s N-Gage wireless platform, as well as many traditional wireless handsets. We also develop and optimize many of our titles for consoles that support online play, such as PS2, Xbox Live on both the Xbox and Xbox360, and the up-coming Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii next-generation consoles. We believe that more of our brands ca n be successfully published for wireless and online platforms, as well as exploited through other emerging technologies, as they continue to evolve.

Manufacturing

We prepare a set of master program copies, documentation, and packaging materials for our products for each hardware platform on which the product will be released. Except with respect to products for use on the Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft systems, our disk duplication, packaging, printing, manufacturing, warehousing, assembly, and shipping are performed by third-party subcontractors.

To maintain protection over their hardware technologies, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft generally specify or control the manufacturing and assembly of finished products. We deliver the master materials to the licensor or its approved replicator, which then manufactures finished goods and delivers them to us for distribution under our label. At the time our product unit orders are filled by the manufacturer, we become responsible for the costs of manufacturing and the applicable per unit royalty on such units, even if the units do not ultimately sell.

To date, we have not experienced any material difficulties or delays in the manufacture and assembly of our products or material returns due to product defects.

Competition

The interactive entertainment software industry is intensely competitive and new interactive entertainment software products and platforms are regularly introduced. Our competitors vary in size from small companies with limited resources to very large corporations with significantly greater financial, marketing, and product development resources than we have. Due to their greater resources, certain of our competitors can spend more money and time on developing and testing products, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, pay higher fees to licensors for desirable motion picture, television, sports and character properties, and pay more to third-party software developers than we can. In addition, competitors with larger product lines and popular titles typically have greater leverage with retailers, distributors, and other customers who may be willing to promote titles with less consumer appeal in return for access to such competitor’s most popular titles. We believe that the main competitive factors in the interactive entertainment software industry include: product features and playability; brand name recognition; compatibility of products with popular platforms; access to distribution channels; quality of products; ease of use; price; marketing support; and quality of customer service.

We compete primarily with other publishers of personal computer and video game console interactive entertainment software. Significant third-party software competitors currently include, among others: Atari, Inc.; Capcom Co. Ltd.; Eidos PLC; Electronic Arts Inc.; Konami Company Ltd.; Midway Games Inc.; Namco Ltd.; Sega Enterprises, Ltd.; Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.; THQ Inc.; Ubi Soft Entertainment; and Vivendi Universal

Publishing. In addition, integrated video game console hardware and software companies such as Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft compete directly with us in the development of software titles for their respective platforms.

Employees

As of March 31, 2006, we had 2,149 employees, including 1,370 in product development, 167 in North American publishing, 156 in international publishing, 150 in operations, corporate finance and administration, and 306 in European distribution activities.

As of March 31, 2006, 292 of our full-time employees were subject to term employment agreements with us. These agreements generally commit such employees to employment terms of between one and five years from the commencement of their respective agreements. Most of the employees subject to such agreements are executive officers or key members of the product development, sales, or marketing divisions. These individuals perform services for us as executives, directors, producers, associate producers, computer programmers, game designers, sales directors, and marketing product managers. The execution by us of employment agreements with such employees, in our experience, reduces our turnover during the development, production, and distribution phases of our entertainment software products and allows us to plan more effectively for future development and marketing activities.

None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement except for the employees of our German distribution subsidiary who are allowed by German law to belong to an organized labor council. To date, we have not experienced any labor-related work stoppages.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, which may affect our future financial performance. If any of the events or circumstances described below occurs, our business and financial performance could be harmed, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations, and the market value of our securities could decline.

We depend on a relatively small number of brands for a significant portion of our revenues and profits.

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from products based on a relatively small number of popular brands each year, and these products are responsible for a disproportionate amount of our profits. In addition, many of these products have substantial production or acquisition costs and marketing budgets. In fiscal 2006, 30% of our consolidated net revenues (38% of worldwide publishing net revenues) was derived from three brands, which accounted for 14%, 8%, and 8% of consolidated net revenues (18%, 10%, and 10% of worldwide publishing net revenues). In fiscal 2005, 37% of our consolidated net revenues (48% of worldwide publishing net revenues) was derived from three brands, which accounted for 16%, 11%, and 10% of consolidated net revenues (21%, 14%, and 13% of worldwide publishing net revenues). In fiscal 2004, 35% of our consolidated net revenues (49% of worldwide publishing net revenues) was derived from three brands, which accounted for 17%, 14%, and 4% of consolidated net revenues (24%, 20%, and 5% of worldwide publishing net revenues). We expect that a limited number of popular brands will continue to produce a disproportionately large amount of our revenues and profits. Due to this dependence on a limited number of brands, the failure to achieve anticipated results by one or more products based on these brands may significantly harm our business and financial results.

Our future success depends on our ability to release popular products.

The life of any one game product is relatively short, in many cases less than one year. The life cycle of a title generally involves a relatively high level of sales during the first few months after introduction followed by a rapid decline in sales. Because revenues associated with an initial product launch generally constitute a high percentage of the total revenues associated with the life of a product, delays in product releases or disruptions following the commercial release of one or more new products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and cause our operating results to be materially different from expectations. It is therefore important for us to be able to continue to develop many high quality new products that are popularly received. We focus our development and publishing activities principally on products that are, or have the potential to become, franchise brand properties. If we are unable to do this, our business and financial results may be negatively affected.

If we are unable to maintain or acquire licenses to intellectual property, we may publish fewer “hit” titles and our revenue may decline.

Many of our products are based on intellectual property and other character or story rights acquired or licensed from third parties. These license and distribution agreements are limited in scope and time, and we may not be able to renew key licenses when they expire or to include new products in existing licenses. The loss of a significant number of our intellectual property licenses or of our relationships with licensors, or inability to obtain additional licenses of significant commercial value could have a material adverse effect on our ability to develop new products and therefore on our business and financial results. Additionally, the failure of intellectual property acquired by us to be popularly received could impact the market acceptance of our products in which the intellectual property is included. Such lack of market acceptance could result in the write-off of the unrecovered portion of acquired intellectual property assets, which could cause material harm to our business and financial results. Furthermore, the competition for these licenses and distribution agreements is often intense. Competition for these licenses may also drive up the advances, guarantees, and royalties that we must pay to the licensor, which could increase our costs.

Transitions in console platforms could have a material impact on the market for interactive entertainment software.

When new console platforms are announced or introduced into the market, consumers typically reduce their purchases of game console entertainment software products for current console platforms in anticipation of new platforms becoming available. During these periods, sales of our game console entertainment software products may be expected to slow or even decline until new platforms are introduced and achieve wide consumer acceptance. This decline may not be offset by increased sales of products for the new console platforms. In fiscal 2006, Microsoft released Xbox360 and in calendar 2006, Sony and Nintendo plan to introduce their respective next-generation hardware platforms, the Playstation 3 and Wii, respectively. We began selling games for the Xbox360 concurrently with its launch and are developing titles for the next-generation console systems being developed by Sony and Nintendo. Delays in the launch, shortages, technical problems, or lack of consumer acceptance of the next-generation platforms could adversely affect our sales of products for these platforms. In addition, as console hardware moves through its life cycle, hardware manufacturers typically enact price reductions and decreasing prices may put downward pressure on our software prices.

We must make significant expenditures to develop products for new platforms which may not be successful or released when anticipated.

We must make substantial product development and other investments in a particular platform well in advance of introduction of the platform and we may be required to realign our product portfolio and development efforts in response to market changes. Furthermore, development costs for new console platforms are greater than current console platforms. If increased costs are not offset by higher revenues and other cost efficiencies, our operating results will suffer and our financial position will be harmed. If the platforms for which we develop new software products or modify existing products are not released on a timely basis or do not attain significant market penetration, or if we develop products for a delayed or unsuccessful platform or cancel development of products in response to market changes, we may not be able to recover in revenues our development costs, which could be significant, and our business and financial results could be significantly harmed.

In addition, we seek to release many of our products in conjunction with specific events, such as the release of a related movie. If we miss these key selling periods, due to product delays or delayed introduction of a new platform for which we have developed products, our sales will suffer disproportionately.

We are exposed to seasonality in the sale of our products.

The interactive entertainment software industry is highly seasonal, with the highest levels of consumer demand occurring during the year end holiday buying season. As a result, our net revenues, gross profits, and operating income have historically been highest during the second half of the calendar year. Additionally, in a platform transition period, sales of game console software products can be significantly affected by the timeliness of introduction of game console platforms by the manufacturers of those platforms, such as Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. The timing of hardware platform introduction is also often tied to holidays and is not within our control. If a hardware platform is released unexpectedly close to the holidays, this would result in a shortened holiday buying season and could negatively impact the sales of our products. Further, delays in development, licensor approvals, or manufacturing can also affect the timing of the release of our products, causing us to miss key selling periods such as the year end holiday buying season.

If the average price of current-generation titles continues to decline or if we are unable to sustain launch pricing on next-generation titles, our operating results will suffer.

We have experienced a decrease in the average price of our titles for current-generation platforms. As the interactive entertainment industry transitions to next-generation video game platforms, we expect there to be fewer current-generation titles able to command premium price points, and we expect that even these titles will be subject to price reductions at an earlier point in their sales cycle than we have seen in prior years. We expect the average price of current-generation titles to continue to decline, which may have a negative effect on our margins and operating results.

With the launch of the Xbox360 we have priced our next-generation titles at a premium retail price of $59.99. We also plan to offer our next-generation titles for the PS3 at the same premium pricing. We expect to continue to price next-generation titles at premium pricing, but if we are unable to sustain launch pricing on these next-generation titles we may experience a negative effect on our margins and operating results.

If we do not continue to attract and retain key personnel, we will be unable to effectively conduct our business.

Our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to identify, hire, and retain skilled personnel. The software industry is characterized by a high level of employee mobility and aggressive recruiting among competitors for personnel with technical, marketing, sales, product development, and management skills. We may not be able to attract and retain skilled personnel or may incur significant costs in order to do so. If we are unable to attract additional qualified employees or retain the services of key personnel, our business and financial results could be negatively impacted.

Our platform licensors are our chief competitors and frequently control the manufacturing of and have broad approval rights over our video game products.

Generally, when we develop interactive entertainment software products for hardware platforms offered by Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft, the products are manufactured exclusively by that hardware manufacturer or their approved replicator.

Our agreements with these manufacturers include certain provisions, such as approval rights over all products and related promotional materials and the ability to change the fee they charge for the manufacturing of products, that allow them substantial influence over our costs and the release schedule of our products. In addition, since each of the manufacturers is also a publisher of games for its own hardware platforms and manufactures products for all of its other licensees, a manufacturer may give priority to its own products or those of our competitors in the event of insufficient manufacturing capacity. Accordingly, Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft could cause unanticipated delays in the release of our products as well as increases to our development, manufacturing, marketing, or distribution costs, which could materially harm our business and financial results.

In addition, as online capabilities for video game platforms emerge, our platform licensors will control our ability to provide online game capabilities for our console platform products and will in large part establish the financial terms on which these services are offered to consumers. Currently, Microsoft provides online capabilities for the Xbox and Xbox360 and Sony provides online capabilities for PS2 products. We expect Sony will also provide online capabilities for PS3 products. In each case, compatibility code and the consent of the licensor are required for us to include online capabilities in our products. In addition, the business model for Microsoft’s and Sony’s online businesses for their video game products may compete with our online business. As these capabilities become more significant, the failure or refusal of our licensors to approve our products, or the successful deployment by these licensors of services competitive to ours, may harm our business.

Our platform licensors set the royalty rates and other fees that we must pay to publish games for their platforms, and therefore have significant influence on our costs.

We pay a licensing fee to the hardware manufacturer for each copy of a product manufactured for that manufacturer’s game platform. Starting in fiscal 2005 and continuing into fiscal 2007, our platform licensors have begun to introduce new hardware platforms into the market. In order to publish products for new hardware platforms, we must take a license from the platform licensor which gives the platform licensor the opportunity to set the fee structure that we must pay in order to publish games for that platform. Similarly, the platform licensors have retained the flexibility to change their fee structures for online gameplay and features for their consoles and the manufacturing of products. The control that platform licensors have over the fee structures for their future platforms and online

access makes it difficult for us to predict our costs and profitability in the medium to long term. It is also possible that platform licensors will not renew our licenses. Because publishing products for console systems is the largest portion of our business, any increase in fee structures or nonrenewal of licenses would have a significant negative impact on our business model and profitability.

If our products contain defects, our business could be harmed significantly.

Software products as complex as the ones we publish may contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions are released. Despite extensive testing prior to release, we cannot be certain that errors will not be found in new products or releases after shipment, that could result in loss of or delay in market acceptance. This loss or delay could significantly harm our business, financial results, and reputation.

We may permit our customers to return our products and to receive pricing concessions which could reduce our net revenues and results of operations.

We are exposed to the risk of product returns and price protection with respect to our distributors and retailers. Return policies allow distributors and retailers to return defective, shelf-worn, and damaged products in accordance with terms granted. Price protection, when granted and applicable, allows customers a credit against amounts they owe us with respect to merchandise unsold by them. We may permit product returns from, or grant price protection to, our customers under certain conditions. The conditions our customers must meet to be granted the right to return products or price protection are, among other things, compliance with applicable payment terms, delivery to us of weekly inventory and sell-through reports, and consistent participation in the launches of our premium title releases. We may also consider other factors, including the facilitation of slow-moving inventory and other market factors. When we offer price protection, we offer it with respect to a particular product to all of our retail customers; however, only those customers who meet the conditions detailed above can avail themselves of such price protection. We also offer a 90-day limited warranty to our end users that our products will be free from manufacturing defects. Although we maintain a reserve for returns and price protection, and although we may place limits on product returns and price protection, we could be forced to accept substantial product returns and provide substantial price protection to maintain our relationships with retailers and our access to distribution channels. Product returns and price protection that exceed our reserves could significantly harm our business and financial results.

Inadequate intellectual property protections could prevent us from enforcing or defending our proprietary technology.

We regard our software as proprietary and rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. We own or license various copyrights and trademarks. We are aware that some unauthorized copying occurs within the computer software industry, and if a significantly greater amount of unauthorized copying of our interactive entertainment software products were to occur, it could cause material harm to our business and financial results.

Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and software piracy is a persistent problem, especially in some international markets. Further, the laws of some countries where our products are or may be distributed either do not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, or are poorly enforced. Legal protection of our rights may be ineffective in such countries. In addition, though we take steps to make the unauthorized copying and distribution of our products more difficult, as do the manufacturers of consoles on which our games are played, neither our efforts nor those of the console manufacturers may be successful in controlling the piracy of our products. This could have a negative effect on our growth and profitability in the future.

Moreover, as we leverage our software products using emerging technologies such as the Internet and online services, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and to avoid infringing intellectual property rights of others may diminish. We cannot be certain that existing intellectual property laws will provide adequate protection for our products in connection with these emerging technologies.

We may be subject to intellectual property claims.

As the number of interactive entertainment software products increases and the features and content of these products continue to overlap, software developers increasingly may become subject to infringement claims. Many of our products are highly realistic and feature materials that are based on real world examples, which may inadvertently infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Our products often utilize complex, cutting edge technology that may become subject to the intellectual property rights of others. Although we believe that we make reasonable

efforts to ensure that our products do not violate the intellectual property rights of others, it is possible that third parties still may claim infringement. From time to time, we receive communications from third parties regarding such claims. Existing or future infringement claims against us, whether valid or not, may be time consuming and expensive to defend.

Intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to do one or more of the following:

· Cease selling, incorporating, or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;

· Obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property, which if available at all, may not be available on commercially favorable terms; or

· Redesign the affected interactive entertainment software products, which could cause us to incur additional costs, delay introduction and possibly reduce commercial appeal of our products.

Any of these actions may cause material harm to our business and financial results.

We rely on independent third parties to develop some of our software products.

We rely on independent third-party interactive entertainment software developers to develop some of our software products. Since we depend on these developers, in the aggregate, we remain subject to the following risks:

· Continuing strong demand for developers’ resources, combined with the recognition they receive in connection with their work, may cause developers who worked for us in the past either to work for our competitors in the future or to renegotiate our agreements with them on terms less favorable for us;

· Limited financial resources and business expertise and inability to retain skilled personnel may force developers out of business prior to completing our products or require us to fund additional costs; and

· Our competitors may acquire the businesses of key developers or sign them to exclusive development arrangements. In either case, we would not be able to continue to engage such developers’ services for our products, except for those that they are contractually obligated to complete for us.

Increased competition for skilled third-party software developers also has compelled us to agree to make significant advance payments on royalties to game developers. If the products subject to these arrangements do not generate sufficient revenues to recover these royalty advances, we would have to write-off unrecovered portions of these payments, which could cause material harm to our business and financial results. Typically, we pay developers a royalty based on a percentage of net revenues, less agreed upon deductions, but in a few cases, we have agreed to pay developers fixed per unit product royalties after royalty advances are fully recouped. To the extent that sales prices of products on which we have agreed to pay a fixed per unit royalty are marked down, our profitability could be adversely affected.

Our industry is highly competitive and our competition may succeed in narrowing our market share and reducing our sales.

We compete primarily with other publishers of personal computer and video game console interactive entertainment software. Our competitors vary in size from small companies with limited resources to very large corporations with significantly greater financial, marketing, and product development resources than we have. In addition, integrated video game console hardware and software companies such as Sony Computer Entertainment, Nintendo Co. Ltd., and Microsoft Corporation compete directly with us in the development of software titles for their respective platforms. Certain of these competitors can spend more money and time on developing and testing products, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, pay higher fees to licensors for desirable motion picture, television, sports and character properties, and pay more to third-party software developers than we can.

We also compete with other forms of entertainment and leisure activities. For example, we believe that the overall growth in the use of the Internet and online services by consumers may pose a competitive threat if customers and potential customers spend less of their available time using interactive entertainment software and more using the

Internet and online services. A number of software publishers who compete with us have developed and commercialized or are currently developing online games for use by consumers over the Internet. Future increased consumer acceptance and increases in the availability of online games or technological advances in online game software or the Internet could result in a decline in platform-based software and negatively impact sales of our products. Direct sales of software over the Internet by competitors could materially adversely affect our distribution business.

Competition in our industry is intense and we expect new competitors to continue to emerge. While many new products are regularly introduced, only a relatively small number of “hit” titles account for a significant portion of net revenue. Hit products published by our competitors may take a larger share of consumer spending than we anticipate, which could cause our product sales to fall below our expectations. If our competitors develop more successful products, offer competitive products at lower price points, or if we do not continue to develop consistently high-quality and well-received products, our revenue, margins, and profitability will decline.

We may face difficulty obtaining access to retail shelf space necessary to market and sell our products effectively.

Retailers of our products typically have a limited amount of shelf space and promotional resources, and there is intense competition among consumer interactive entertainment software products for high quality retail shelf space and promotional support from retailers. To the extent that the number of products and platforms increases, competition for shelf space may intensify and may require us to increase our marketing expenditures. Retailers with limited shelf space typically devote the most and highest quality shelf space to those products expected to be best sellers. We cannot be certain that our new products will consistently achieve such “best seller” status. Due to increased competition for limited shelf space, retailers and distributors are in an increasingly better position to negotiate favorable terms of sale, including price discounts, price protection, marketing and display fees, and product return policies. Our products constitute a relatively small percentage of any retailer’s sales volume. We cannot be certain that retailers will continue to purchase our products or to provide our products with adequate levels of shelf space and promotional support on acceptable terms. A prolonged failure in this regard may significantly harm our business and financial results.

Our sales may decline substantially without warning and in a brief period of time because we do not have long-term contracts for the sale of our products.

In the United States and Canada, we primarily sell our products on a direct basis to mass-market retailers, consumer electronics stores, discount warehouses, and game specialty stores. Our products are sold internationally on a direct-to-retail basis, through third-party distribution and licensing arrangements and through our wholly-owned European distribution subsidiaries. Our sales are made primarily on a purchase order basis without long-term agreements or other forms of commitments. Our largest customers, Wal-Mart and GameStop, accounted for approximately 22% and 10% of consolidated net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2006. For the year ended March 31, 2005, our largest customer, Wal-Mart, accounted for 23% of consolidated net revenues. The loss of, or significant reduction in sales to, any of our principal retail customers or distributors could significantly harm our business and financial results.

We may be burdened with payment defaults and uncollectible accounts if our distributors or retailers cannot honor their credit arrangement with us.

Distributors and retailers in the interactive entertainment software industry have from time to time experienced significant fluctuations in their businesses and a number of them have failed. The insolvency or business failure of any significant retailer or distributor of our products could materially harm our business and financial results. We typically make sales to most of our retailers and some distributors on unsecured credit, with terms that vary depending upon the customer’s credit history, solvency, credit limits, and sales history, as well as whether we can obtain sufficient credit insurance. Although, as in the case with most of our customers, we have insolvency risk insurance to protect against our customers’ bankruptcy, insolvency, or liquidation, this insurance contains a significant deductible and a co-payment obligation, and the policy does not cover all instances of non-payment. In addition, although we maintain a reserve for uncollectible receivables, the reserve may not be sufficient in every circumstance. As a result, a payment default by a significant customer could significantly harm our business and financial results.

We may not be able to maintain our distribution relationships with key vendors.

Our CD Contact, NBG, and Centresoft subsidiaries distribute interactive entertainment software and hardware products and provide related services in the Benelux countries, Germany, and the United Kingdom, respectively, and via export in other European countries for a variety of entertainment software publishers, many of which are our competitors, and hardware manufacturers. These services are generally performed under limited term contracts. Although we expect to use reasonable efforts to retain these vendors, we may not be successful in this regard. The cancellation or non-renewal of one or more of these contracts could significantly harm our business and financial results. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft products accounted for approximately 24%, 3%, and 3%, respectively, of our worldwide distribution net revenues for fiscal 2006.

Our international revenues may be subject to regulatory requirements as well as currency fluctuations.

Our international revenues have accounted for a significant portion of our total revenues. International sales and licensing accounted for 52%, 50%, and 53% of our consolidated net revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. We expect that international revenues will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenues in the future. International sales may be subject to unexpected regulatory requirements, tariffs, and other barriers. Additionally, foreign sales that are made in local currencies may fluctuate. We have and may continue to engage in limited currency hedging activities. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may in the future have a material negative impact on revenues from international sales and licensing and thus our business and financial results.

We are subject to the rating of our content by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. Failure to obtain our target ratings for our products could negatively impact our sales.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board, sometimes referred to as the ESRB, requires game publishers to provide consumers with information relating to graphic violence, profanity, or sexually explicit material contained in software titles, and imposes significant penalties for noncompliance. Certain countries have also established similar rating systems as prerequisites for product sales in those countries. In some instances, we may be required to modify our products to comply with the requirements of rating systems, which could delay or disrupt the release of our products. Our software titles receive a rating of “E” (age 6 and older), “E10+” (age 10 and older), “T” (age 13 and over), or “M” (age 17 and over). Many of our titles have received an “M” rating. None of our titles have received the “AO” rating (18 and over). We believe that we comply with rating systems and properly display the ratings and content descriptions received for our titles. If we are unable to obtain the ratings we have targeted for our products as a result of changes in the ESRB’s ratings standards or for other reasons, including the adoption of legislation in this area, our business and prospects could be negatively affected.

The ESRB requires publishers to conduct pertinent content audit certifications with respect to certain top selling titles, the objective of which is to assess what portion, if any, of the games on the market include undisclosed pertinent content on the disc that undermines the accuracy of the ESRB rating. This self audit procedure applies to certain current titles and may be applied to additional titles in the future. We are currently conducting a self audit in accordance with the ESRB’s requirements. It is possible that there may be content in our games that could be determined to be pertinent content that causes a change to our current ESRB rating. In such event, we may be required to record a reserve for anticipated product returns and inventory obsolescence which could expose us to additional litigation, administrative fines and penalties, and other potential liabilities, and could adversely affect our operating results.

Our business, products, and distribution are subject to increasing regulation in key territories of content, consumer piracy, and online delivery. If we do not successfully respond to these regulations, our business may suffer.

Legislation is continually being introduced that may affect both the content of our products and their distribution. For example, privacy laws in the United States and Europe impose various restrictions on our web sites. Those rules vary by territory although the Internet recognizes no geographical boundaries. In addition, many foreign countries have laws that permit governmental entities to censor the content and advertising of interactive entertainment software. Other countries, such as Germany, have adopted laws regulating content both in packaged goods and those transmitted over the Internet that are stricter than current United States laws.

Several proposals have been made for federal legislation in the United States to regulate our industry, including a bill, referred to as The Family Entertainment Protection Act, which was recently introduced into the

Senate. Such bill proposes to prohibit the sale of “M” rated, “AO” rated, and “Rating Pending” products to under-17 audiences. If the bill is adopted into law, it may limit the potential market for our “M” rated products, and adversely affect our operating results. We may also be required to modify our products or alter our marketing strategies to comply with new regulations, which could delay the release of our products. Due to the uncertainties regarding such regulations, confusion in the marketplace may occur, and we are unable to predict what effect, if any, such regulations would have on our business. In addition, a number of state legislative bodies in states such as Illinois, California, New York, and Washington introduced various forms of legislation designed to regulate and control sales of video games deemed inappropriate for sales to minors. In the event such legislation is adopted and enforced, the sales of our products in states with such laws may be negatively affected.

Our products may be subject to legal claims.

In prior fiscal years, two lawsuits, Linda Sanders, et al. v. Meow Media, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and Joe James, et al. v. Meow Media, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Paducah Division, have been filed against numerous video game companies, including us, by the families of victims who were shot and killed by teenage gunmen in attacks perpetrated at schools. These lawsuits alleged that the video game companies manufactured and/or supplied these teenagers with violent video games, teaching them how to use a gun and causing them to act out in a violent manner. These lawsuits have been dismissed. Similar additional lawsuits may be filed in the future. Although our general liability insurance carrier agreed to defend us in such lawsuits in the past, it is uncertain whether the insurance carrier would do so in the future, or if it would cover all or any amounts which we might be liable for if such future lawsuits are not decided in our favor. If such future lawsuits are filed and ultimately decided against us and our insurance carrier does not cover the amounts we are liable for, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. Payment of significant claims by insurance carriers may make such insurance coverage materially more expensive or unavailable in the future, thereby exposing our business to additional risk.

We may face limitations on our ability to find suitable acquisition opportunities or to integrate additional acquired businesses.

We intend to pursue additional acquisitions of companies, properties, and other assets that can be purchased or licensed on acceptable terms and which we believe can be operated or exploited profitably. Some of these transactions could be material in size and scope. Although we continue to search for additional acquisition opportunities, we may not be successful in identifying suitable acquisitions. As the interactive entertainment software industry continues to consolidate, we face significant competition in seeking and consummating acquisition opportunities. We may not be able to consummate potential acquisitions or an acquisition may not enhance our business or may decrease rather than increase our earnings. In the future, we may issue additional shares of our common stock in connection with one or more acquisitions, which may dilute our existing shareholders. Future acquisitions could also divert substantial management time and result in short-term reductions in earnings or special transaction or other charges. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully integrate the businesses that we may acquire into our existing business. Our shareholders may not have the opportunity to review, vote on, or evaluate future acquisitions.

We may not be able to adequately adjust our cost structure in a timely fashion in response to a sudden decrease in demand.

A significant portion of our selling and general and administrative expense is comprised of personnel and facilities. In the event of a significant decline in revenues, we may not be able to exit facilities, reduce personnel, or make other changes to our cost structure without disruption to our operations or without significant termination and exit costs. Management may not be able to implement such actions in a timely manner, if at all, to offset an immediate shortfall in revenues and profit.

Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and, in the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are also required to estimate what our taxes will be in the future. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the estimate process is inherently uncertain, and our estimates are not binding on tax authorities. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in our business, including the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the elections we make, changes in applicable tax laws as well as other factors. Further, our tax determinations are regularly subject to audit by tax authorities and developments in those audits could adversely affect our income tax provision. Should our ultimate tax liability exceed our estimates, our income tax provision and net income could be materially affected.

We are also required to pay taxes other than income taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes, in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. We are regularly under examination by tax authorities with respect to these non-income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations, changes in our business or changes in applicable tax rules will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Our shareholder rights plan, charter documents, and other agreements may make it more difficult to acquire us without the approval of our Board of Directors.

We have adopted a shareholder rights plan under which one right entitling the holder to purchase one six-hundredths (1/600) of a share, as adjusted on account of stock dividends made since the plan’s adoption, of our Series A Junior Preferred Stock price at an exercise price of $6.67 per share, subject to adjustment and as adjusted on account of stock dividends made since the plan’s adoption, is attached to each outstanding share of common stock. Such shareholder rights plan makes an acquisition of control in a transaction not approved by our Board of Directors more difficult. Our Amended and Restated By-laws have advance notice provisions for nominations for election of nominees to the Board of Directors which may make it more difficult to acquire control of us. Our long-term incentive plans provide, in the discretion of a committee, for acceleration of stock options following a change in control under certain circumstances, which has the effect of making an acquisition of control more expensive. In addition, some of our officers have severance compensation agreements that provide for substantial cash payments and accelerations of other benefits in the event of a change in control. These agreements and arrangements may also inhibit a change in control.

Our stock price is highly volatile.

The trading price of our common stock has been and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including:

· Quarter to quarter variations in results of operations;

· Our announcements of new products;

· Our competitors’ announcements of new products;

· Our product development or release schedule;

· General conditions in the computer, software, entertainment, media or electronics industries, and in the economy;

· Timing of the introduction of new platforms and delays in the actual release of new platforms;

· Hardware manufacturers’ announcements of price reductions in hardware platforms;

· Consumer spending trends;

· Changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by analysts; and

· Investor perceptions and expectations regarding our products, plans and strategic position, and those of our competitors and customers.

In addition, the public stock markets experience extreme price and trading volume volatility, particularly in high technology sectors of the market. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many technology companies for reasons often unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We seek to manage our business with a view to achieving long-term results, and this could have a negative effect on short-term trading.

We focus on creation of shareholder value over time, and we intend to make decisions that will be consistent with this long-term view. As a result, some of our decisions, such as whether to make or discontinue operating investments, manage our balance sheet and capital structure, or pursue or discontinue strategic initiatives, may be in conflict with the objectives of short-term traders. Further, this could adversely affect our quarterly or other short-term results of operations.

Risk Factors Relating to Results of Special Subcommittee Review of Our Stock Option Granting Practices

SEC inquiry and litigation relating to stock options remain pending and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Although a Special Subcommittee of our independent directors has completed its review of our stock option grants and practices in the period between 1992 and 2006, an informal inquiry by the SEC relating to our stock option granting practices remains pending, as does derivative litigation against us and certain of our current and former directors and officers. Although we believe that we have taken appropriate action and made appropriate disclosures and corrections to the consolidated financial statements set forth in this report for matters relating to stock options, the SEC (or the court in the derivative action) may disagree with the findings of the Special Subcommittee or with the manner in which we have accounted for and reported, or not reported, the financial impact of past option grant measurement date errors. If so, we may need to further restate our prior financial statements, further amend our filings with the SEC, or take other actions not currently contemplated. In addition, these proceedings are likely to result in additional legal expense that may affect our results in future periods, and may also result in diversion of management attention and other resources, as well as fines, penalties, damages and other sanctions. These eventualities could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. We cannot currently predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings.

If we do not maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted, which could, among other things, reduce the price of our common stock and the levels of liquidity available to our stockholders.

In connection with the Special Subcommittee’s review and the restatement of our Consolidated Financial Statements, we have not timely filed certain of our periodic reports with the SEC. As a result, we are not in compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. Pending completion of further review, Nasdaq has, to date, permitted our securities to remain listed. However, our securities could be delisted in the future if we do not file our remaining overdue quarterly reports with the SEC, if we are required to further restate or amend our filings or if we otherwise do not maintain compliance with applicable listing requirements including not being able to file the remaining filings required for the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. If our securities are delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, they would subsequently be transferred to the National Quotation Service Bureau, or “Pink Sheets”. The trading of our common stock through the Pink Sheets might reduce the price of our common stock and the levels of liquidity available to our stockholders. In addition, the trading of our common stock through the Pink Sheets could materially and adversely affect our access to the capital markets and our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or to raise capital at all. Securities that trade through the Pink Sheets are no longer eligible for margin loans, and a company trading through the Pink Sheets cannot avail itself of federal preemption of state securities or “blue sky” laws, which adds substantial compliance costs to securities issuances, including pursuant to employee option plans, stock purchase plans and private or public offerings of securities. If we are delisted in the future from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and transferred to the Pink Sheets, we could also be subject to other negative implications,

including the potential loss of confidence by suppliers, customers and employees and the loss of institutional investor interest in our securities.

We had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. If our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, there may be errors in our financial statements that could require a restatement or our filings may not be timely and investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could lead to a decline in our stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in each Annual Report on Form 10-K. Section 404 also requires our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In assessing the findings of the Special Subcommittee’s review and the restatement set forth in this report, our management concluded that there was a material weakness, as defined in the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2, in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006. See the discussion included in Part II, Item 9A of this Report for additional information regarding our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error or all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may occur. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As a result, we cannot assure you that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, cause us to fail to timely meet our periodic reporting obligations, or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder. The existence of a material weakness could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of financial statements, cause us to fail to timely meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our stock price.

As a result of the delayed filing of certain of our periodic reports, we will be ineligible to use Form S-3 or Form S-4 for a period of time. This may adversely affect our ability to engage in certain types of corporate acquisition and capital-raising transactions.

As a result of our delayed filing of certain of our periodic reports, we will be ineligible to register our securities on Form S-3 or Form S-4 for sale by us or resale by other security holders until we have timely filed all periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for a period of time. In the meantime, we have the ability to use Form S-1 to raise capital or complete acquisitions. The need to use Form S-1, and the inability to use Form S-3 or Form S-4, could increase our transaction costs and adversely affect our ability to engage in certain types of corporate acquisition and capital-raising transactions until we regain our S-3/S-4 eligibility.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 5, 2004, a class action lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court, Central District of California by the Construction Industry, and Carpenters Joint Pension Trust for Southern Nevada purporting to represent a class of purchasers of Activision stock. The Order dismissing the action with prejudice was entered on June 17, 2005. In addition, on March 12, 2004, a stockholder derivative lawsuit captioned Frank Capovilla, Derivatively on Behalf of Activision, Inc. v. Robert Kotick, et al. was filed, purportedly on behalf of Activision, which in large measure asserts the identical claims set forth in the federal class action lawsuit. Prior to the hearing on the demurrers, the parties came to a resolution of the action and agreed to a stipulation of settlement to be submitted to the court for preliminary approval. No cash recovery is to be paid to the plaintiff pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, which also stated that the Company vigorously denied any assertion of wrongdoing or liability. In furtherance of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay $200,000 in plaintiffs’ fees, to be funded by the Company’s D&O insurance carrier. The settlement acknowledged that, after the time the derivative action was filed, the Company implemented certain enhancements to its corporate governance policies. At a hearing held on May 22, 2006, the Court approved the settlement and released and dismissed the alleged claims.

In July 2006, individuals and/or entities claiming to be stockholders of the Company have filed derivative lawsuits, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against certain current and former members of the Company's Board of Directors as well as several current and former officers of the Company. Three derivative actions have been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court: Vazquez v. Kotick, et al., L.A.S.C. Case No. BC355327 (filed July 12, 2006); Greuer v. Kotick, et al., L.A.S.C. Case No. SC090343 (filed July 12, 2006); and Amalgamated Bank v. Baker, et al., L.A.S.C. Case No. BC356454 (filed August 3, 2006). These actions have been consolidated by the court under the caption In re Activision Shareholder Derivative Litigation, L.A.S.C. Master File No. SC090343 (West, J.). Two derivative actions have been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California: Pfeiffer v. Kotick, et al., C.D. Cal. Case No. CV06-4771 MRP (JTLx) (filed July 31, 2006); and Hamian v. Kotick, et al., C.D. Cal. Case No. CV06-5375 MRP (JLTx) (filed August 25, 2006). These actions have also been consolidated, under the caption In re Activision, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, C.D. Cal. Case No. CV06-4771 MRP (JTLx) (Pfaelzer, J.). The consolidated complaints allege, among other things, purported improprieties in the Company's issuance of stock options. The Company expects that defense expenses associated with the matters will be covered by its directors and officers insurance, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable policies. On May 24, 2007, the Superior Court granted the Company's motion to stay the state action. The court's order stays the action pending the resolution of motions to dismiss in the federal action, but is without prejudice to any party's right to seek modification of the stay upon a showing of good cause, including a showing that matters may be addressed in the Superior Court without the potential for conflict with or duplication of the federal court proceedings. Motions to dismiss in the federal action are currently due on June 1, 2007, with the motions to be fully briefed by August 15, 2007.

On July 27, 2006, the Company received a letter of informal inquiry from the SEC requesting certain documents and information relating to the Company’s historical stock option grant practices. The Company is cooperating with the SEC’s inquiry, and representatives of the Special Subcommittee and its legal counsel have met with members of the staff of the SEC on several occasions, in person and by telephone (as has the Company’s outside legal counsel), to discuss the progress of the Special Subcommittee’s investigation and on February 28, 2007 to brief the SEC staff on the Special Subcommittee’s findings and recommendations following the substantial completion of the Special Subcommittee’s investigation. A representative of the U.S. Department of Justice has attended certain of these meetings and requested copies of certain documents that we have provided to the staff of the SEC. At this time, the Company has not received any grand jury subpoenas or written requests from the Department of Justice.

In addition, we are party to other routine claims and suits brought by us and against us in the ordinary course of business, including disputes arising over the ownership of intellectual property rights, contractual claims, employment relationships, and collection matters. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such routine claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

PART II

Item 5.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Common Stock — Listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ATVI”. We delayed the filing of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006 until we are able to complete the restatement of previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, we have not been in compliance with the Nasdaq filing requirements for continued listing as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c) (14). A Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel originally gave the Company until May 9, 2007 to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. The Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) has since granted a request by the Company for additional time to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, beyond the original May 9, 2007 deadline. As a consequence of this action, the Nasdaq Hearing Review Council will review the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel’s February 8, 2007 decision. Under the schedule established by the Listing Council, the Company has until June 1, 2007 to submit any additional information that it wishes the Listing Council to consider in its review, but otherwise no dates have been set for the Listing Council to complete its review or render a decision. As of May 25, 2007, the Company has completed the restatement of the financial statements contained in this report and has filed this Form 10-K/A and is in the process of completing the remaining filings required for the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, and expects to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements in the near future. However, until the Listing Council completes its review there can be no assurance that all required filings have been completed, and there can be no assurance that the listing of the Company’s stock on the Nasdaq will be maintained.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the high and low reported sale prices for our common stock. As of May 23, 2007, there were approximately 2,408 holders of record of our common stock.

	High		Low
Fiscal 2005
First Quarter ended June 30, 2004	$	9.61	$	7.74
Second Quarter ended September 30, 2004	9.23		6.84
Third Quarter ended December 31, 2004	11.53		7.02
Fourth Quarter ended March 31, 2005	14.04		10.19

Fiscal 2006
First Quarter ended June 30, 2005	$	13.88	$	10.64
Second Quarter ended September 30, 2005	17.30		12.07
Third Quarter ended December 31, 2005	18.03		12.94
Fourth Quarter ended March 31, 2006	15.93		11.81

On May 23, 2007, the last reported sales price of our common stock was $19.03.

Cash Dividends

We paid no cash dividends in our fiscal years 2006 or 2005 nor do we anticipate paying any cash dividends at any time in the foreseeable future. We expect that earnings will be retained for the continued growth and development of the business. Future dividends, if any, will depend upon our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Stock Splits

as of February 23, 2004. In February 2005, the Board of Directors approved a four-for-three split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 33-1/3% stock dividend. The split was paid on March 22, 2005 to shareholders of record as of March 7, 2005. In September 2005, the Board of Directors approved a four-for-three split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 33-1/3% stock dividend. The split was paid October 24, 2005 to shareholders of record as of October 10, 2005. The par value of our common stock was maintained at the pre-split amount of $.000001. All share and per share data have been restated as if the stock splits had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

On March 7, 2005, in connection with our March 22, 2005 stock split, all shares of common stock held as treasury stock were formally cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

Buyback Program

During fiscal 2003, our Board of Directors authorized a buyback program under which we can repurchase up to $350.0 million of our common stock. Under the program, shares may be purchased as determined by management, from time to time and within certain guidelines, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including privately negotiated structured stock repurchase transactions and through transactions in the options markets. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice.

Under the buyback program, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005. We repurchased approximately 3.4 million shares of our common stock for $12.4 million in the years ended March 31, 2004. In addition, approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock were acquired in the year ended March 31, 2004 as a result of the settlement of $10.0 million of structured stock repurchase transactions entered into in fiscal 2003. As of March 31, 2006, we had no outstanding structured stock repurchase transactions. Structured stock repurchase transactions are settled in cash or stock based on the market price of our common stock on the date of the settlement. Upon settlement, we either have our capital investment returned with a premium or receive shares of our common stock, depending, respectively, on whether the market price of our common stock is above or below a pre-determined price agreed in connection with each such transaction.

Shareholders’ Rights Plan

On April 18, 2000, our Board of Directors approved a shareholders rights plan (the “Rights Plan”). Under the Rights Plan, each common shareholder at the close of business on April 19, 2000 received a dividend of one right for each share of common stock held. Each right represents the right to purchase one six-hundredths (1/600) of a share, as adjusted on account of stock dividends made since the plan’s adoption, of our Series A Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $6.67, as adjusted on account of stock dividends made since the plan’s adoption. Initially, the rights are represented by our common stock certificates and are neither exercisable nor traded separately from our common stock. The rights will only become exercisable if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the common stock of Activision, or announces or commences a tender or exchange offer which would result in the bidder’s beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our common stock.

In the event that any person or group acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, each holder of a right (other than such person or members of such group) will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of such right, in lieu of shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, the number of shares of common stock of Activision having a value equal to two times the then current exercise price of the right. If we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after a person has acquired 15% or more of our common stock, each holder of a right will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of such right a number of the acquiring company’s common shares having a market value equal to two times the then current exercise price of the right. For persons who, as of the close of business on April 18, 2000, beneficially own 15% or more of the common stock of Activision, the Rights Plan “grandfathers” their current level of ownership, so long as they do not purchase additional shares in excess of certain limitations.

We may redeem the rights for $.01 per right at any time until the first public announcement of the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 15% of our common stock. At any time after a person has acquired 15% or more (but before any person has acquired more than 50%) of our common stock, we may exchange all or part of the rights for shares of common stock at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock per right. The rights expire on April 18, 2010.

Item 6. SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The Consolidated Statements of Operations data for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 and the Consolidated Balance Sheets data as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, which have been restated and are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A. The Consolidated Statements of Operations data for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 and the Consolidated Balance Sheets data as of March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 have been restated to reflect the correction of errors as noted below. Our historical results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for any future period.

As described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report, our Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to correct errors in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense for stock options, primarily granted in prior years, to reflect additional recently identified insufficient payroll tax withholdings in fiscal 2005, to record the related income tax effects, and to record the related balance sheet effects.

The information presented in the following tables has been adjusted to reflect the restatement of our financial results, which is more fully described in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K/A (in thousands, except per share data).

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our past performance, our financial condition and our prospects and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Investors should carefully review the information contained in this report under Item 1A “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12.

Stock Option Practices and Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

In June 2006, two investment companies published reports analyzing companies in the video game publishing industry (including the Company) for potentially problematic option grants. In response to these reports, we directed Bryan Cave LLP, which was then our outside counsel, to review historic stock option grants to our senior executive officers, including grants identified in the published investment company reports, and to compile materials relating to such grants. In July 2006, two stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed against certain of our current and former officers and directors alleging improprieties in our issuance of stock options. On July 25, 2006, the Board approved the appointment of the Special Subcommittee to conduct a comprehensive independent review of our practices and policies relating to the granting of stock options.

Scope of Review: On or about August 4, 2006, the Special Subcommittee retained the law firm of Munger Tolles & Olson LLP to serve as counsel to the Special Subcommittee and to assist the Special Subcommittee in conducting its review. Counsel to the Special Subcommittee thereafter retained Deloitte to assist in a review of facts and circumstances regarding our historical stock option grants and to advise Special Subcommittee counsel on accounting issues with respect to the stock option grants.

The Special Subcommittee’s review covered facts, circumstances and timing of stock option grants made by the Company from fiscal 1992 to fiscal 2006 and analyzed the nature and extent of issues associated with our stock option practices during that period. The Special Subcommittee reviewed 4,849 grants covering 204,230,604 shares, or about 86% of the 237,756,486 options granted in the period reviewed.

The Special Subcommittee and its advisers collected and processed more than 143 gigabytes of electronic data in the course of the review, including data from our servers and the local hard drives of 32 computers used by key custodians. The review also included physical searches for relevant hard copy documents, including those found in our corporate offices, the human resources department, the legal department, the stock administration department, and the finance department. The Special Subcommittee also requested and received files maintained by the Compensation Committee members and our former outside legal counsel. This data – in excess of 9,700,000 total pages — was loaded into a database to assist in identifying relevant materials for further review. The Special Subcommittee’s lawyers employed a search process utilizing a variety of search terms that resulted in review of over 500,000 separate documents. Based on the results of these targeted searches, the Special Subcommittee’s lawyers reviewed more than 8,000,000 pages of electronic data and hard copy documents, as well as another 209,310 pages of native format hard drive data that could not be loaded to the database due to technical reasons.

In addition, Deloitte performed extensive analysis of stock option grant data. In the course of this analysis, Deloitte reviewed more than 99,000 individual documents, consisting of more than 2.5 million pages, and discussed with the Special Subcommittee and its counsel proposed accounting treatments for many of the grants, including the most significant ones covered by the review.

In addition to document review, the Special Subcommittee’s lawyers conducted interviews and, in some cases, follow-up interviews, with more than 20 individuals with knowledge of our stock option practices, including 11 current employees, 3 former employees, 4 current or former members of the Compensation Committee of the Board, and 3 attorneys who served as outside counsel to the Company on matters relating to stock options grants.

Findings: The Special Subcommittee reviewed 4,849 option grants covering 204,230,604 shares and found that 3,450 grants covering 148,747,202 shares required measurement date corrections. Of the options found to require measurement date corrections, a majority – covering approximately 88,250,000 shares, were granted to non-officer employees or former officers of the Company, while options covering approximately 60,500,000 shares were granted to current officers and directors.

A majority of the grants requiring measurement date corrections (measured by number of shares) occurred on 16 dates over the 15-year period. Twelve annual grants, covering 29,423,701 shares, were found to require measurement date corrections, including almost 100% of the options included in the annual grants made in the 10 calendar years 1996 through 2005 and approximately 5.9% of the annual grants made in calendar year 2006 (covering 24.3% of the shares covered by the 2006 annual grants). In addition, acquisition grants covering 4,656,491 shares were found to require measurement date corrections. The remaining grants requiring measurement date corrections (covering approximately 114,667,010 shares), consisted of various employment service related grants over the 15-year period, which included employment contract related grants (new contracts or the renewal of existing contracts), new hire grants, promotion grants, merit and bonus grants, and retention incentive grants.

The need for these measurement date corrections arose from failure to understand and apply the correct accounting rules, failure to establish and maintain adequate procedures and controls, failure on certain occasions to appreciate the implications of available information, and insufficient finality and documentation. As a result, the exercise prices for certain options were affected by selection of grant dates with hindsight, which led to errors in the determination of measurement dates, and we did not correctly account for modifications and repricings after initial grant dates.

Determination of Measurement Dates: According to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), the measurement date is the first date on which proper approval is obtained and all of the following are known: (1) the individual employee who is entitled to receive the option grant, (2) the number of options that an individual employee is entitled to receive, and (3) the option’s exercise price. To correct the grant date inaccuracies, we re-determined the measurement date based on the date when all APB No. 25 criteria were satisfied. In re-determining the most appropriate measurement date of an option grant, we considered meeting minutes and other documents of our Board of Directors, including minutes of the Compensation Committee, in addition to the following data:

· reports on Form 4 filed with the SEC;

· personnel files;

· payroll records;

· information obtained in interviews with various current and former Company employees and members of our Board of Directors;

· various records maintained by our human resources department;

· contemporaneous emails; and

· the date on which such grants were entered into the Company’s stock option system (“option entry date”) and thereby constructively communicated to each recipient via each recipient’s individual stock option account as administered by a third-party on-line broker.

For grants where there was not sufficient evidence and documentation to support the original measurement date or to determine the precise date when the number of options and exercise price were finalized, we used all available relevant information to form a reasonable conclusion as to the most likely measurement date for such option grants.

option system and available to employees), was used as an alternative measurement date price for a sampling of grants based on distribution patterns and price ranges, the total additional pre-tax compensation expense would be approximately $2.5 million spread over a period from fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 2006, of which approximately $1.3 million of pre-tax expense would impact the five most recent fiscal years from 2002 through 2006. Given the immaterial number of shares and limited potential income statement impact, along with the absence of unique pricing or other characteristics, additional review procedures were not deemed necessary for these remaining grants and were therefore not applied, and no change was made to the original grant date as the measurement date.

The following is a summary of the primary stock-option accounting errors underlying this restatement and their impact in key categories of option grants.

Grant Dates and Exercise Prices Based on Employment Service Related “Business Events” Insufficient to Support Reported Measurement Date

A large number of the grants requiring measurement date corrections were made in connection with employment service related “business events” (including employment contracts for both new hires and contract renewals for existing employees). In many instances, the Special Subcommittee determined that the lowest price was chosen from among several alternative dates, on the theory that it was permissible to use a date that was tied to a “business event,” such as the date negotiations commenced, the date of a handshake agreement, the date that an employee began working for the Company, or the date that the contract was signed by the employee. These grants account for approximately $34.5 million, or about 52% of the total of approximately $66.7 million in additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to measurement date corrections.

Annual Grants Affected by Insufficient Finality and Documentation and Selection of Dates with Hindsight

Annual grants were issued to a large number of employees each year (typically in April) and were made at the lowest or second-lowest price of the month in which they were granted from calendar year 1997 through calendar year 2003. The Special Subcommittee found evidence that the dates of some or all of these grants were chosen in late April or early May and were therefore affected by selection of dates with hindsight, and that required details of various annual grants did not have the required level of finality, including completion of allocations of options to individual employees, or were not supported by sufficient documentation until after the reported grant date. In total, twelve annual grants, covering 29,423,701 shares, were found to require measurement date corrections, including almost 100% of the options included in the annual grants made for the 10 calendar years 1996 through 2005 and approximately 5.9% of the annual grants made for calendar year 2006 (covering 24.3% of the shares covered by the calendar year 2006 annual grants). Annual grants account for approximately $18.7 million or approximately 28% of the additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recorded by the Company in the restated financial statements included in this report.

Grants Affected by Modifications after Initial Grant Date

Certain grants were modified after the initial grant date, but the Company did not account correctly for the modification in accordance with APB No. 25. The modifications included the acceleration of vesting, the continuation of the vesting period of options of terminated employees or the extension of the post-service exercise period for vested stock options of terminated employees. Modifications were made to 337 option grants that were not accounted for in accordance with APB No. 25. We recorded approximately $10.0 million additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense to properly account for these modifications, or about 15% of the total additional pre-tax expense recorded.

Grants Affected by Repricings after Initial Grant Date

Certain grants (mostly relating to employment service related grants on three dates) were repriced after the initial grant date, but the Company did not account correctly for the repricing. Such repricings are considered a modification of an award and require the application of variable accounting. In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation,” we determined that we should have recorded an additional $3.5 million in stock-based compensation expense related to these grants in the restated financial statements included in this report, or approximately 5% of the additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recorded by the Company in the restated financial statements included in this report.

Impact. We have recorded approximately $66.7 million in additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the thirteen year period from April 1, 1993 through March 31, 2006 in accordance with APB No. 25. The additional stock-based compensation expense is amortizable over the service period relating to each option, typically three to five years, with approximately two-thirds of the total expense being recorded in or before fiscal 2002. Separately, the restatement reflects an additional $1.7 million pre-tax charge ($1.1 million after-tax) related to recently identified insufficient payroll tax withholdings in fiscal 2005. The additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense and payroll tax withholdings charge are included in the table below. There was no previously recorded stock-based compensation expense under APB No. 25, during the periods from fiscal 1994 through 2003, other than the amounts now recorded under this restatement. Additional stock-based compensation expense will be recorded in periods subsequent to March 31, 2006, pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.”

Of the $66.7 million in additional pre-tax stock-based compensation expense arising from measurement date corrections, approximately $40.5 million, or approximately 61%, relates to grants to non-officers, approximately $21.1 million, or 31%, relates to grants to current officers and directors, and approximately $5.1 million, or 8%, relates to grants to former officers.

The cumulative effect of all the restatement adjustments to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2001 resulted in a decrease in retained earnings of $15.5 million, an increase in additional paid-in capital of $17.4 million, and an increase in deferred tax assets of $1.9 million.

Certain Tax Consequences: Certain stock options were granted with an exercise price lower than the fair market value on the actual measurement dates, with vesting occurring after December 31, 2004, which resulted in nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 409A subjects the option holders to additional income tax, penalties and interest on the value of the options deferred and, in certain cases, exercised each year. We do not have any tax liability associated with Section 409A. On January 29, 2007, the Company communicated to its non-executive officer employees, who hold options subject to Section 409A, that the Company is committed to ensuring that they suffer no financial harm as a result of issues arising under Section 409A. For options that have already been exercised by non-executive officer employees, that are subject to Section 409A consequences, the Company has elected to participate in the Internal Revenue Service program described in IRS Announcement 2007-18 pursuant to which the Company was able to pay the Section 409A taxes on behalf of its non-executive officer employees, and has incurred $7.3 million in additional pre-tax compensation expense in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, in absorbing these related costs on behalf of these employees. With respect to unexercised options subject to Section 409A held by such current and former non-executive officer employees, the Company intends to take steps to eliminate their Section 409A tax liability consistent with Internal Revenue Service guidance, and this will likely result in additional, future compensation expense to the Company once these actions occur.

Responsibility for Option Grant Practices. The Special Subcommittee found that four individuals – former heads of human resources, finance and legal, and a senior partner of our former outside corporate law firm who sat on and acted as secretary to our Board – bore significant responsibility, in varying degrees, for measurement date inaccuracies by virtue of their positions and/or involvement in the option granting process at varying times. The Special Subcommittee made no finding as to intentional wrongdoing by these individuals.

Remedial Measures: The Special Subcommittee recommended that six current officers and directors (Messrs. Kotick, Kelly, Doornink, Rose and Morgado and Ms. Isgur) and the four individuals found by the Special Committee to have significant responsibility for the option misdating relinquish the economic benefits resulting from measurement date inaccuracies and mispricing of stock options. In the case of options that have already been exercised, all six current officers and directors have agreed to pay the additional exercise price to the Company or agreed to the cancellation of vested but unexercised options with a value equivalent to the additional exercise price, subject to final documentation. For options that have not yet been exercised, these six current officers and directors have also agreed that the exercise price will be increased so as to be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the redetermined measurement date. Two of the other four individuals have agreed to make similar repayments and/or exercise price increases or option cancellations, subject to final documentation. The Company is discussing similar agreements with the remaining two individuals.

In addition, we have realigned certain internal responsibilities related to the granting and reporting of stock options. In this regard, the employment contract of our former head of human resources, which expired on March 31, 2007, was not renewed; a new head of human resources is being recruited and, in the interim, responsibilities for stock option granting and reporting have been reassigned. To further enhance our corporate governance practices, we have established and filled a position of principal compliance officer, with a reporting line directly to the Nominating and Governance Committee, and are reviewing the configuration of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

In addition, consistent with the recommendations of the Special Subcommittee, we have disengaged from our prior outside corporate counsel and have engaged new outside corporate counsel.

We have also already adopted a number of modifications to our stock option granting procedures. The new policies and practices for our stock option grant practices were approved on November 21, 2006 by the Joint Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board, and became effective January 1, 2007. Our new option granting policies and procedures are designed to ensure internal control surrounding the pricing and modification of option grants is adequate and also provide the Compensation Committee with the full ability to review and approve all grants prior to pricing on a date set on or after the date of the Compensation Committee action. Some of the highlights of the new option granting process are:

· All proposed grants during the month will be verified so as to comply with pre-approved grant guidelines and other financial and legal requirements by the seventh day of the following month. For these purposes, a team of legal, human resources and finance personnel (“Cross Functional Team”) has been established to review each proposed grant for compliance with documentation and procedures. No grant will be issued until such compliance is established and the grant is approved by the Compensation Committee.

· The Compensation Committee will meet at least quarterly, to review and approve all documented and verified proposed grants submitted by the Cross Functional Team. All grants approved by the Compensation Committee will be effective, and will be priced based on the closing price of our stock, on a date set by the Compensation Committee that will be on or after the date of Compensation Committee action. Details of the grant (including the exercise price) will be communicated to the grantees promptly following approval and pricing.

· All new hire offer letters and employee renewal agreements will provide that all grants and terms of grants are subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.

· Stock option data will be entered into Equity Edge, our stock option tracking software, promptly (and only) after grant approval is received from the Compensation Committee.

Finally, the Special Subcommittee recommended that Board meetings include more senior executives and that human resources, finance and legal personnel receive additional training on options and compliance issues. Many of these recommendations have already been implemented and we plan to implement the remaining recommendations in our fiscal year that began on April 1, 2007.

Overview

Our Business

We are a leading international publisher of interactive entertainment software products. We have built a company with a diverse portfolio of products that spans a wide range of categories and target markets and that is used on a variety of game hardware platforms and operating systems. We have created, licensed, and acquired a group of highly recognizable brands, which we market to a variety of consumer demographics. Our fiscal 2006 product portfolio included such best-selling products as Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland (“THAW”), Madagascar, Ultimate Spider-Man, Quake IV, GUN, True Crime: New York City, and X-Men Legends II.

Our products cover diverse game categories including action/adventure, action sports, racing, role-playing, simulation, first-person action, and strategy. Our target customer base ranges from casual players to game enthusiasts, children to adults, and mass-market consumers to “value” buyers. We currently offer our products primarily in versions that operate on the PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Xbox360 console systems, GBA, PSP, and NDS hand-held devices, and the PC. The installed base for this current-generation of hardware platforms is significant and the fiscal 2006 release of the Xbox360 and the upcoming calendar 2006 releases of the PS3 and Wii, will further expand the software market. We successfully executed our strategy of having a high-quality product presence at the launch of the Xbox360, releasing four titles concurrent with the console launch, and are currently developing additional titles for the Xbox360. We are also currently developing three launch titles for the PS3, Call of Duty 3, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and Tony Hawk’s Project 8, and three launch titles for the Wii, Call of Duty 3, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam. Our plan is to have a significant presence at the launch of both

the PS3 and the Wii while marketing to current-generation platforms as long as economically attractive given their large installed base.

Our publishing business involves the development, marketing, and sale of products directly, by license or through our affiliate label program with certain third-party publishers. In the United States and Canada, we primarily sell our products on a direct basis to mass-market retailers, consumer electronics stores, discount warehouses, and game specialty stores. We conduct our international publishing activities through offices in the United Kingdom (“UK”), Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Australia, Sweden, Canada, and Japan. Our products are sold internationally on a direct-to-retail basis, through third-party distribution and licensing arrangements and through our wholly-owned European distribution subsidiaries. Our distribution business consists of operations located in the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany that provide logistical and sales services to third-party publishers of interactive entertainment software, our own publishing operations, and manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware.

Our profitability is directly affected by the mix of revenues from our publishing and distribution businesses. Operating margins realized from our publishing business are typically substantially higher than margins realized from our distribution business. Operating margins in our publishing business are affected by our ability to release highly successful or “hit” titles. Though many of these titles have substantial production or acquisition costs and marketing budgets, once a title recoups these costs, incremental net revenues directly and positively impact our operating margin. Operating margins in our distribution business are affected by the mix of hardware and software sales, with software producing higher margins than hardware.

Our Focus

With respect to future game development, we will continue to focus on our “big propositions,” products that are backed by strong brands and high quality development, for which we will provide significant marketing support.

Our fiscal 2006 “big proposition” releases included well-established brands, which were backed by high-profile intellectual property and/or highly anticipated motion picture releases. For example, we have a long-term relationship with Marvel Enterprises through an exclusive licensing agreement. During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we further extended our exclusive licensing agreement with Marvel Enterprises by signing a multi-year extension to our current video game licensing agreement for the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises through 2017. This agreement grants us the exclusive rights to develop and publish video games based on Marvel’s comic book franchises Spider-Man and X-Men. Through fiscal 2006, games based on the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises have generated more than $785.7 million in net revenue worldwide. Our fiscal 2006 release schedule included titles based on Marvel’s Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic 4, which was part of our previous licensing agreement. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006 we released the video game, Fantastic 4, just prior to the theatrical release of “Fantastic 4.” We also released Ultimate Spider-Man and X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse (“X-Men Legends II”) in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 in North America and in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 internationally. In fiscal 2007, under this agreement, we plan to release X-Men: The Official Game around the theatrical release of “X-Men: The Last Stand” and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. In addition, through our licensing agreement with Spider-Man Merchandising, LP, we will be developing and publishing video games based on Columbia Pictures/Marvel Enterprises, Inc.’s upcoming feature film “Spider-Man 3,” which is expected to be released in May 2007. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we signed an agreement with Spider-Man Merchandising, LP to extend our exclusive worldwide publishing rights to publish entertainment software products based on subsequent Spider-Man movie sequels or new television series through 2017.

We also have an exclusive licensing agreement with professional skateboarder Tony Hawk. The agreement grants us exclusive rights to develop and publish video games through 2015 using Tony Hawk’s name and likeness. Through fiscal 2006, we have released seven successful titles in the Tony Hawk franchise with cumulative net revenues of $1.1 billion, including the most recent, THAW, which was released in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. We will continue to build on the Tony Hawk franchise in fiscal 2007 with the release of Tony Hawk’s Project 8 and Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam.

We continue to develop a number of original intellectual properties which are developed and owned by Activision. For example, in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 we released Call of Duty 2 on the PC and Xbox360 and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, on the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox. According to NPD Funworld, Call of Duty 2 was the top selling Xbox360 title of the year. These titles were the fourth and fifth releases based upon this original intellectual property following two other PC titles, Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive, and one other console title, Call of Duty: Finest Hour. In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we also released True Crime: New York City, which was based upon our fiscal 2004 original intellectual property True Crime: Streets of LA, and GUN, a new

original intellectual property. According to NPD Funworld, we have developed the number one new original intellectual property title in each of the past three years which included True Crime: Streets of LA in calendar 2003, Call of Duty: Finest Hour in calendar 2004, and GUN in calendar 2005. We expect to develop a variety of games on multiple platforms based on these original properties as well as continue to invest in developing other original intellectual properties.

We will also continue to evaluate and exploit emerging brands that we believe have potential to become successful game franchises. For example, we have a multi-year, multi-property, publishing agreement with DreamWorks LLC that grants us the exclusive rights to publish video games based on DreamWorks Animation SKG’s theatrical release “Shrek 2,” which was released in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, “Shark Tale,” which was released in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, “Madagascar,” which was released in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, “Over the Hedge,” which was released in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and all of their respective sequels, including “Shrek the Third” and “Madagascar 2.” In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we further enhanced our agreement with DreamWorks Animation SKG by signing a multi-year agreement which grants us the exclusive video game rights to four upcoming feature films, “Bee Movie,” “Kung Fu Panda,” “Rex Havoc,” and “How to Train Your Dragon,” as well as potential future films in the “Shrek” franchise beyond the upcoming “Shrek the Third.”

Additionally, we have a strategic alliance with Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. that grants us the exclusive, worldwide interactive rights to develop and publish “World Series of Poker” video games based on the popular World Series of Poker Tournament. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we released our first title under this alliance, World Series of Poker, which became the number one poker title of calendar 2005. In fiscal 2007, we plan on releasing our second title under this alliance, World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions.

We also continue to build on our portfolio of licensed intellectual property. In February 2006, we signed an agreement with Hasbro Properties Group granting us the global rights, excluding Japan, to develop console, hand-held, and PC games based on Hasbro’s “Transformers” brand. We anticipate releasing the first game concurrently with the July 2007 movie release of the live action “Transformers” film from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures. In May 2006 we signed an agreement with MGM Interactive and EON Productions Ltd. granting us the rights to develop and publish interactive entertainment games based on the James Bond license through 2014.

In addition to acquiring or creating high profile intellectual property, we have also continued our focus on establishing and maintaining relationships with talented and experienced software development teams. We have strengthened our internal development capabilities through the acquisition of several development companies with talented and experienced teams including the acquisitions of developers Toys For Bob, Inc. in April 2005 and Beenox, Inc. in May 2005. Additionally, in May 2006 we entered into an agreement to acquire video game publisher RedOctane Inc., the publisher of the popular Guitar Hero franchise. We have development agreements with other top-level, third-party developers such as id Software, Inc., Edge of Reality, Ltd., and Splash Damage, Ltd.

We are utilizing these developer relationships, new intellectual property acquisitions, new original intellectual property creations, and our existing library of intellectual property to further focus our game development on product lines that will deliver significant, lasting, and recurring revenues and operating profits.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue from the sale of our products upon the transfer of title and risk of loss to our customers. Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (the date that products are made widely available for sale by retailers). For these products we recognize revenue no earlier than the street date. Revenue from product sales is recognized after deducting the estimated allowance for returns and price protection. With respect to license agreements that provide customers the right to make multiple copies in exchange for

guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized upon delivery of such copies. Per copy royalties on sales that exceed the guarantee are recognized as earned. In addition, in order to recognize revenue for both product sales and licensing transactions, persuasive evidence of an arrangement must exist and collection of the related receivable must be probable. Revenue recognition also determines the timing of certain expenses, including cost of sales — intellectual property licenses and cost of sales — software royalties and amortization.

Sales incentives or other consideration given by us to our customers is accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).” In accordance with EITF Issue 01-9, sales incentives and other consideration that are considered adjustments of the selling price of our products, such as rebates and product placement fees, are reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by us for assets or services received, such as the appearance of our products in a customer’s national circular ad, are reflected as sales and marketing expenses.

Allowances for Returns, Price Protection, Doubtful Accounts, and Inventory Obsolescence. In determining the appropriate unit shipments to our customers, we benchmark our titles using historical and industry data. We closely monitor and analyze the historical performance of our various titles, the performance of products released by other publishers, and the anticipated timing of other releases in order to assess future demands of current and upcoming titles. Initial volumes shipped upon title launch and subsequent reorders are evaluated to ensure that quantities are sufficient to meet the demands from the retail markets but at the same time, are controlled to prevent excess inventory in the channel.

We may permit product returns from, or grant price protection to, our customers under certain conditions. In general, price protection refers to the circumstances when we elect to decrease the wholesale price of a product by a certain amount and, when granted and applicable, allow customers a credit against amounts owed by such customers to Activision with respect to open and/or future invoices. The conditions our customers must meet to be granted the right to return products or price protection are, among other things, compliance with applicable payment terms, delivery to us of weekly inventory and sell-through reports, and consistent participation in the launches of our premium title releases. We may also consider other factors, including the facilitation of slow-moving inventory and other market factors. Management must make estimates of potential future product returns and price protection related to current period product revenue. We estimate the amount of future returns and price protection for current period product revenue utilizing historical experience and information regarding inventory levels and the demand and acceptance of our products by the end consumer. The following factors are used to estimate the amount of future returns and price protection for a particular title: historical performance of titles in similar genres, historical performance of the hardware platform, historical performance of the brand, console hardware life cycle, Activision sales force and retail customer feedback, industry pricing, weeks of on-hand retail channel inventory, absolute quantity of on-hand retail channel inventory, our warehouse on-hand inventory levels, the title’s recent sell-through history (if available), marketing trade programs, and competing titles. The relative importance of these factors varies among titles depending upon, among other items, genre, platform, seasonality, and sales strategy. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the allowance for returns and price protection in any accounting period. Based upon historical experience we believe our estimates are reasonable. However, actual returns and price protection could vary materially from our allowance estimates due to a number of reasons including, among others, a lack of consumer acceptance of a title, the release in the same period of a similarly themed title by a competitor, or technological obsolescence due to the emergence of new hardware platforms. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates in determining the allowances for returns and price protection. For example, a 1% change in our March 31, 2006 allowance for returns and price protection would impact net revenues by approximately $1.0 million.

Similarly, management must make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, we analyze the age of current outstanding account balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in our customers’ payment terms and their economic condition, as well as whether we can obtain sufficient credit insurance. Any significant changes in any of these criteria would impact management’s estimates in establishing our allowance for doubtful accounts.

products. Significant changes in demand for our products would impact management’s estimates in establishing our inventory provision.

Software Development Costs. Software development costs include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products.

We account for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product encompasses both technical design documentation and game design documentation. For products where proven technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Prior to a product’s release, we expense, as part of cost of sales — software royalties and amortization, capitalized costs when we believe such amounts are not recoverable. Capitalized costs for those products that are cancelled or abandoned are charged to product development expense in the period of cancellation. Amounts related to software development which are not capitalized are charged immediately to product development expense. We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The recoverability of capitalized software development costs is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products for which the costs relate. Criteria used to evaluate expected product performance include: historical performance of comparable products using comparable technology; orders for the product prior to its release; and estimated performance of a sequel product based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based.

Commencing upon product release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of sales — software royalties and amortization based on the ratio of current revenues to total projected revenues, generally resulting in an amortization period of six months or less. For products that have been released in prior periods, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.

Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in the assessment of when technological feasibility is established, as well as in the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs, the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred. If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than and/or revised forecasted or actual costs are greater than the original forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment charge.

Intellectual Property Licenses. Intellectual property license costs represent license fees paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks, copyrights, software, technology, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development of our products. Depending upon the agreement with the rights holder, we may obtain the rights to use acquired intellectual property in multiple products over multiple years, or alternatively, for a single product.

We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized intellectual property licenses on a quarterly basis. The recoverability of capitalized intellectual property license costs is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products in which the licensed trademark or copyright is to be used. As many of our intellectual property licenses extend for multiple products over multiple years, we also assess the recoverability of capitalized intellectual property license costs based on certain qualitative factors such as the success of other products and/or entertainment vehicles utilizing the intellectual property, whether there are any future planned theatrical releases or television series based on the intellectual property, and the rights holder’s continued promotion and exploitation of the intellectual property. Prior to the related product’s release, we expense, as part of cost of sales — intellectual property licenses, capitalized intellectual property costs when we believe such amounts are not recoverable. Capitalized intellectual property costs for those products that are cancelled or abandoned are charged to product development expense in the period of cancellation. Criteria used to evaluate expected product performance include: historical performance of comparable products using comparable technology; orders for the product prior to its release; and estimated performance of a sequel product based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based.

Commencing upon the related product’s release, capitalized intellectual property license costs are amortized to cost of sales – intellectual property licenses based on the ratio of current revenues for the specific product to total projected revenues for all products in which the licensed property will be utilized. As intellectual property license

contracts may extend for multiple years, the amortization of capitalized intellectual property license costs relating to such contracts may extend beyond one year. For intellectual property included in products that have been released and unreleased products, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual and expected title performance.

Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in the assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs, the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred. If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than, and/or revised forecasted or actual costs are greater than, the original forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment charge. Additionally, as noted above, as many of our intellectual property licenses extend for multiple products over multiple years, we also assess the recoverability of capitalized intellectual property license costs based on certain qualitative factors such as the success of other products and/or entertainment vehicles utilizing the intellectual property, whether there are any future planned theatrical releases or television series based on the intellectual property and the rights holder’s continued promotion and exploitation of the intellectual property. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of charges for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates in evaluating these qualitative factors.

Results of Operations – Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

Net Revenues

We primarily derive revenue from sales of packaged interactive software games designed for play on video game consoles (such as the PS2, Xbox, Xbox360, and GameCube), PCs, and hand-held game devices (such as the GBA, NDS, and PSP). We also derive revenue from our distribution business in Europe that provides logistical and sales services to third-party publishers of interactive entertainment software, our own publishing operations and third-party manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware.

The following table details our consolidated net revenues by business segment and our publishing net revenues by territory for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

Consolidated net revenues	$	1,468,000	$	1,405,857	$	62,143		4	%

Consolidated net revenues increased 4% from $1,405.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $1,468.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. This increase in consolidated net revenues was solely generated by our publishing business and was driven by the following:

· An increase year over year in the number of titles released. Our fiscal 2006 launch schedule included the largest slate of new releases in our history. In fiscal 2006, we released seventeen major titles including the following major releases: Doom 3 for the Xbox, Madagascar, Fantastic Four, Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men Legends II, THAW, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, GUN, True Crime: New York City, Quake 4, Shrek SuperSlam, The Movies, Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2, and World Series of Poker. In addition, four of these titles, Call of Duty 2, THAW, Quake 4, and GUN, were released concurrently with the release of the Xbox360 platform at a premium retail price of $59.99. This compares to fourteen titles in fiscal 2005, which included the following major releases: Spider-Man 2, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 (“THUG 2”), Shrek 2, X-Men Legends, Doom 3, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Shark Tale, Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2005, and Rome: Total War. Additionally in fiscal 2006, we achieved our goal of increasing the number of million and multi-million unit selling titles.

· An increase in our hand-held platform presence growing publishing hand-held revenues by $20.2 million or 15% from $138.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $158.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. This was driven by an increase in the number of hand-held titles released combined with titles being released across more hand-held platforms with the fiscal 2005 introductions of the PSP and NDS.

Partially offset by:

· An increase in provision for return and price protection throughout fiscal 2006 from 12% of net revenues in fiscal 2005 to 18% of net revenues in fiscal 2006, due to challenging market conditions and the ongoing console transition.

· A decrease in net revenues from our distribution business due mostly to the effect of year over year weakening of the Euro (“EUR”) and Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) in relation to the United States Dollar

(“USD”). Foreign exchange rates decreased reported distribution net revenues by approximately $14.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. Excluding the impact of changing foreign currency rates, our distribution net revenues decreased 1% year over year.

Due to uncertainty with regard to the market, software pricing, and first-party hardware plans for current and next-generation consoles, we plan on releasing a more focused slate of titles in fiscal 2007. As a result, we anticipate revenue will decrease in fiscal 2007 in comparison to the record net revenues achieved in fiscal 2006.

$	710,040	48	%	$	696,325	50	%	$	13,715	2	%

North America publishing net revenues increased 2% from $696.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $710.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. The increase reflects our largest slate of releases in company history and expansion of our hand-held presence with products for PSP, NDS, and GBA. This was offset by weaker market conditions resulting in higher provisions for returns and price protection. North America publishing net revenues decreased as a percentage of consolidated net revenues from 50% for year ended March 31, 2005 to 48% for the year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease is due to a larger increase in our international publishing net revenues due to successful expansion efforts into new territories and the strong performance of our affiliate titles in Europe.

$	444,623	31	%	$	376,404	27	%	$	68,219	18	%

International publishing net revenues increased by 18% from $376.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $444.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. Additionally, international publishing net revenues as a percentage of consolidated net revenues increased from 26% for the year ended March 31, 2005 to 31% for the year ended March 31, 2006. The increases were due mainly to our successful expansion efforts into new territories combined with strong performance from our affiliate label products which included the successful LucasArts’ titles, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Battlefront II. The increase in international publishing net revenues was partially offset by a weakening of the EUR and the GBP in relation to the USD of approximately $14.5 million. Excluding the impact of changing foreign currency rates, our international publishing net revenues increased 22% year over year. In the coming year, we will continue to focus on expanding our international publishing capabilities and direct-selling efforts in both the European and Asia-Pacific markets.

Publishing Net Revenues by Platform

Publishing net revenues increased 8% from $1,072.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $1,154.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2006.

Net revenues from sales of titles for the PC decreased 17% from $220.1 million and 21% of publishing net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $183.5 million and 16% of publishing net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing revenue was due to the slate of PC titles released in fiscal 2005 in comparison to fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2005, we released the highly successful PC titles Doom 3 and Rome: Total War and also had strong continued sell through of our catalog title, Call of Duty. Although we had strong sales from our fiscal 2006 PC titles, Call of Duty 2, The Movies, and Quake 4, in fiscal 2005, according to NPD Funworld, we were the only publisher to have three top-ten PC titles for calendar year 2004. We expect fiscal 2007 PC publishing net revenues to decrease in absolute dollars due to a more focused slate of titles in fiscal 2007 which includes only one PC exclusive title, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and one expansion pack, The Movies: Stunts and Effects. We expect fiscal 2007 PC publishing net revenues as a percentage of total publishing net revenues to remain consistent with fiscal 2006.

$	422,239	36	%	$	417,310	39	%	$	4,929	1	%

Net revenues from sales of titles for the PS2 increased 1% from $417.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $422.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. The slight increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of major titles released for the PS2 from seven major titles in fiscal 2005 to nine major titles in fiscal 2006. This increase was offset by an increase in the provision for returns and price protection on new releases due to weaker market conditions. In addition, Madagascar, which was our fifth best selling PS2 title for fiscal 2006 in terms of units sold, was released at a lower initial retail pricing point of $39.99 compared to $49.99 for comparable children’s titles in fiscal 2005. As a percentage of publishing net revenues, net revenues from sales of titles for the PS2 decreased from 39% for the year ended March 31, 2005 to 36% for the year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease is due to a change in our platform revenue mix due to the introduction of the Xbox360. We expect the installed base of PS2 to continue to grow in fiscal 2007, although at a slower rate than in previous years, due to the anticipated release of the next-generation PS3 console system in calendar 2006. However, due to the market uncertainty involving the transition to the next-generation console systems, we plan on releasing a more focused slate in fiscal 2007 resulting in a significant decrease in PS2 titles from fiscal 2006 where we had the largest slate of titles in our history. As a result, we expect net revenues from sales of titles for the PS2 to decrease in fiscal 2007 in comparison to fiscal 2006. We expect the release of the PS3 to have a small impact on fiscal 2007 net revenues given the initially low installed base.

Net revenues from sales of titles for the Xbox increased 5% from $196.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $205.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2006 and held steady as a percentage of publishing net revenues at 18%. The increase was primarily attributable to the strong performance of our first quarter fiscal 2006 Xbox exclusive release of Doom 3 which had no comparable Xbox exclusive title released in fiscal 2005. This increase was offset by increased provisions for returns and price protection in anticipation of quicker required pricing actions as a result of the introduction of the Xbox360, which is expected to result in a gradual slowdown in sales for the Xbox as customers upgrade or anticipate upgrading to the next-generation platform. We expect our fiscal 2007 net revenues from sales of titles for the Xbox to decrease versus fiscal 2006 due to fewer anticipated title releases for the Xbox in fiscal 2007 combined with a declining customer base as the Xbox360 hardware becomes more readily available and its installed base grows.

The Xbox360 was released in November 2005 and was the first of the next-generation hardware to be released. Consistent with our goal of having a significant presence at the launch of each new platform, we released four titles concurrently with the release of the Xbox360, Call of Duty 2, THAW, Quake 4, and GUN. All of these titles

were released at premium retail pricing of $59.99. Although limited by hardware availability in fiscal 2006, we experienced strong sales of these four titles, and, according to NPD Funworld, Call of Duty 2 was the number one title on the Xbox360 and had the highest attach rate of any console launch in video game history. We expect the Xbox360 to provide significant opportunity for us in the upcoming fiscal years. In fiscal 2007, we expect net revenues from sales of titles for the Xbox360 to continue to increase over what we achieved in fiscal 2006.

$	80,964	7	%	$	96,936	9	%	$	(15,972	)	(16	)%

Net revenues from sales of titles for the Nintendo GameCube decreased 16% from $96.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $81.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. Despite an increase in the number of titles released for the GameCube from seven major titles for the year ended March 31, 2005 to nine major titles for the year ended March 31, 2006, the releases in fiscal 2006, which included GUN, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, THAW, and True Crime: New York City, were less geared toward the demographics of the GameCube audience as compared to our fiscal 2005 title releases, which included Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2. Additionally, Madagascar, which was our top selling title on the GameCube in fiscal 2006, was released at a lower initial retail pricing of $39.99 as compared to Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2, which were both released at an initial retail price of $49.99. Madagascar was our top selling title on the GameCube for fiscal 2006 and although it performed strongly, it compares to fiscal 2005 where our top two selling titles on the GameCube were Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2, each of which outperformed Madagascar. We expect fiscal 2007 net revenues for the GameCube to decrease over fiscal 2006 due to our more focused fiscal 2007 title slate and the next-generation platforms gaining market share over current-generation platforms such as the GameCube. It is anticipated that Nintendo will release their next-generation console, the Wii, in calendar 2006. Given the initially low installed base, we expect the release of the Wii to have little initial impact on our net revenues.

Hand-held (in thousands)

March 31,		% of Publishing		March 31,		% of Publishing		Increase/		Percent
2006		Net Revenues		2005		Net Revenues		(Decrease)		Change

$	158,861	14	%	$	138,695	13	%	$	20,166	15	%

Net revenues from sales of titles for the hand-held for the year ended March 31, 2006 increased 15% from the prior fiscal year, from $138.7 million to $158.9 million. Additionally, hand-held net revenues as a percentage of publishing net revenues increased from 13% for the year ended March 31, 2005 to 14% for the year ended March 31, 2006. The increases were due to the worldwide introductions of the NDS and PSP hand-held platforms in late fiscal 2005 and the continued growth of their installed base throughout fiscal 2006, which resulted in hand-held titles being sold across more platforms. In addition, compared to the other hand-held platforms, titles for the PSP have a higher retail pricing point of $49.99. The major titles driving hand-held net revenues in fiscal 2006 were Madagascar, Madagascar: Operation Penguin, Fantastic Four, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Shrek SuperSlam for the GBA; Madagascar, Ultimate Spider-Man, Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land, and Shrek SuperSlam for the NDS; and THUG 2, Spider-Man 2, X-Men Legends II, and LucasArts’ Star Wars Battlefront II for the PSP. This compares to fiscal 2005 where the main titles driving hand-held net revenues were Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, and DreamWorks’ Shark Tale for the GBA; Spider-Man 2 for the NDS; and THUG 2 and Spider-Man 2 for the PSP. With the installed base of the PSP, NDS, and GBA continuing to increase and the PSP expanding the demographic of the hand-held gamer, we expect that fiscal 2007 hand-held net revenues to continue to increase year over year.

Overall

The platform mix of our future publishing net revenues will likely be impacted by a number of factors, including the ability of hardware manufacturers to continue to increase their installed hardware base and the

introduction of new hardware platforms, as well as the performance of key product releases from our product release schedule. We expect that net revenues from console titles will continue to represent the largest component of our publishing net revenues with PS2 having the largest percentage of that business due to its larger installed hardware base. However, during fiscal 2007, we expect the introduction of the PS3 and Wii next-generation console systems and a higher installed base of the Xbox360 will continue to decrease the percentage of PS2 business throughout the year. With the installed base of the NDS and PSP platforms continuing to increase, we also expect to see a continued increase in our hand-held business in line with the growth in the installed base in comparison to prior periods. Our net revenues from PC titles will be primarily driven by our product release schedule.

A significant portion of our revenues and profits are derived from a relatively small number of popular titles and brands each year as revenues and profits are significantly affected by our ability to release highly successful titles. For example, for the year ended March 31, 2006, 20% of our consolidated net revenues and 26% of worldwide publishing net revenues were derived from net revenues from our Call of Duty 2, THAW, and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One titles. Though many of these titles have substantial production or acquisition costs and marketing budgets, once a title recoups these costs, incremental net revenues directly and positively impact operating profits resulting in a disproportionate amount of operating income being derived from these select titles. We expect that a limited number of titles and brands will continue to produce a disproportionately large amount of our net revenues and profits.

Three key factors that could affect future publishing and distribution net revenue performance are console hardware pricing, software pricing, and transitions in console platforms. As console hardware moves through its life cycle, hardware manufacturers typically enact price reductions. Reductions in the price of console hardware typically result in an increase in the installed base of hardware owned by consumers. Historically, we have also seen that lower console hardware prices put downward pressure on software pricing. While we expect console software launch pricing for the Xbox360 to hold at $59.99, we have noticed downward pressure on the prices of current-generation software. Additionally, when new console platforms are announced or introduced into the market, such as the upcoming 2006 calendar year releases of the PS3 and Wii and the November 2005 release of the Xbox360, consumers typically reduce their purchases of game console entertainment software products for current console platforms in anticipation of new platforms becoming available. During these periods, sales of our game console entertainment software products may be expected to slow or even decline until new platforms are introduced and achieve wide consumer acceptance.

$	313,337	21	%	$	333,128	24	%	$	(19,791	)	(6	)%

Distribution net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2006 decreased 6% from the prior fiscal year, from $333.1 million to $313.3 million. Foreign exchange rates decreased reported distribution net revenues by approximately $14.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. Excluding the impact of the changing foreign currency rates, our distribution net revenues decreased $4.9 million or 1% year over year. The remaining year over year decrease was primarily due to the termination of relationships with unprofitable publishers and stronger third-party releases in fiscal 2005.

The mix of distribution net revenues between hardware and software sales varied year over year with approximately 20% of distribution net revenues from hardware sales in the year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 13% in the prior fiscal year. This was mainly attributed to the release of the PSP in Europe in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and the release of the Xbox360 in November 2005. In both fiscal years, hardware sales were principally comprised of sales of console hardware. The mix of future distribution net revenues will be driven by a number of factors including the occurrence of further hardware price reductions instituted by hardware manufacturers, the introduction of new hardware platforms, and our ability to establish and maintain distribution agreements with hardware manufacturers and third-party software publishers. We expect our fiscal 2007 distribution net revenues to decrease when compared with fiscal 2006 due to uncertainty with regard to the software market as a result of the transition from current-generation console system to the next-generation Xbox360, PS3, and Wii and a more focused slate of Activision titles.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Sales – Product Costs (in thousands)

March 31,		% of Consolidated		March 31,		% of Consolidated		Increase/		Percent
2006		Net Revenues		2005		Net Revenues		(Decrease)		Change

$	734,874	50	%	$	658,949	47	%	$	75,925	12	%

Cost of sales – product costs represented 50% and 47% of consolidated net revenues for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In absolute dollars, cost of sales – product costs increased 12% from $658.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $734.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. The primary factors affecting the increase in cost of sales – product costs in absolute dollars and as a percentage of consolidated net revenues were:

· Volume growth in our European territories of LucasArts’ Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, and Star Wars Battlefront II. LucasArts’ titles are part of our affiliate label program and carry a significantly higher product cost than Activision developed titles.

· Write-downs of inventory costs for certain titles in fiscal 2006 in the amount of $14.5 million due to the high level of inventory for certain titles at the end of our third quarter of fiscal 2006. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006 we reviewed the levels of inventory and determined that, due to lower than expected re-orders caused by weaker market conditions and the ongoing console transition, we anticipated that certain titles in our inventory would likely be sold below its original cost.

· A decrease in our PC net revenues as a percentage of publishing net revenues from 21% in fiscal 2005 to 16% in fiscal 2006. Products for PC typically have lower costs of sales – product costs associated with them as they do not require royalty payments to hardware manufacturers.

· An increase in provision for returns and price protection throughout fiscal 2006 from 12% of net revenues in fiscal 2005 compared to 18% of net revenues in fiscal 2006, due to challenging market conditions and the ongoing console transition.

· An increase in consolidated net revenues of 4% from $1,405.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $1,468.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006.

· Reduced pricing on a number of catalog titles as well as new releases in our kids genre.

We expect cost of sales — product costs as a percentage of net revenues to remain relatively flat as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006. This is primarily due to slightly higher product costs related to next-generation titles offset by higher retail pricing on next-generation titles which are anticipated to retail for $59.99.

$	147,822	13	%	$	123,800	12	%	$	24,022	19	%

Cost of sales – software royalties and amortization for the year ended March 31, 2006 increased as a percentage of publishing net revenues from the prior fiscal year, from 12% to 13%. In absolute dollars, cost of sales – software royalties and amortization for the year ended March 31, 2006 also increased from the prior fiscal year, from $123.8 million to $147.8 million. The increases in cost of sales – software royalties and amortization in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues were mainly due to:

· Impairment charges and recoverability write-offs of $12.6 million in fiscal 2006. We performed a detailed review of capitalized costs for released titles and determined that expected future revenues, given the change in market conditions, on certain titles would not support the remaining capitalized software balance on these titles. As a result, we incurred a $3.8 million recoverability charge on these titles in fiscal 2006. In addition, we reviewed future recoverability of capitalized amounts on titles in development and determined that one of our titles, to be released in fiscal 2007, was unlikely to fully recover capitalized costs given the change in expectations as a result of weaker market conditions and uncertainty involved in the console transition and, as a result, took an impairment charge of $8.8 million on this title.

· Overall continued increases in costs to develop titles for additional platforms, particularly those titles released for the more technologically advanced next-generation console platforms.

Due to market uncertainty associated with the ongoing console transition to the next-generation hardware and our more focused fiscal 2007 title slate, we expect costs of sales — software royalties and amortization to decrease in fiscal 2007 in proportion to the expected decrease in net revenues.

Cost of Sales – Intellectual Property Licenses (in thousands)

$	57,666	5	%	$	62,197	6	%	$	(4,531	)	(7	)%

Cost of sales – intellectual property licenses for the year ended March 31, 2006 decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues over the same period last year, from $62.2 million to $57.7 and from 6% to 5%, respectively. The decreases in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues were due mainly to a one-time benefit related to the settlement of an intellectual property claim in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The number of titles with associated intellectual property remained relatively flat year over year. In fiscal 2006, we released the following titles with associated intellectual property: Doom 3 for the Xbox, Madagascar, Fantastic Four, Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men Legends II, THAW, Quake IV, and Shrek SuperSlam. In fiscal 2005 we released the following titles with associated intellectual property: Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, X-Men Legends, THUG 2, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Doom 3. We expect cost of sales – intellectual property licenses for fiscal 2007 to remain relatively flat as a percentage of publishing net revenues but to decrease in absolute dollars in proportion to the expected decrease in net revenues in fiscal 2007.

Product Development (in thousands, as restated)

March 31,		% of Publishing		March 31,		% of Publishing		Increase/	Percent

$	132,651	11	%	$	87,776	8	%	44,875	51	%

Product development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2006 increased as a percentage of publishing net revenues from the prior fiscal year, from 8% to 11%. In absolute dollars, product development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2006 also increased from the prior fiscal year, from $87.8 million to $132.7 million. The increase in product development expenses both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues was due to:

· Increased development, quality assurance, and outside developer costs as a result of the development of more technologically advanced titles across more platforms.

· Product cancellation charges of $11.4 million, including termination fees, incurred during fiscal 2006. Given the market conditions, the lower than expected performance of some of our third quarter fiscal 2006 releases, and risks associated with console transition, we performed a thorough review of our upcoming product slate. To better align opportunities associated with the next-generation console platforms with income potential and risks associated with certain titles in development, we canceled development of certain titles and permanently removed them from our future title slate.

· Increased costs in fiscal 2006 related to the full year operation of three recently acquired studios, Vicarious Visions, Inc., Toys for Bob, Inc., and Beenox, Inc., as well as costs incurred to fund more product development capacity at certain studios.

For fiscal 2007, we expect product development costs to increase as a percentage of net revenues due to the increased costs related to developing more technologically advanced titles for the next-generation console systems. Over time, we intend to offset increased development costs of the next-generation console systems by sharing technologies and tools across multiple platforms, increasing our development schedules to facilitate a longer pre-production phase and more predictable workflow times, and outsourcing certain areas of game development to lower cost service providers.

Sales and Marketing (in thousands, as restated)

March 31,		% of Consolidated		March 31,		% of Consolidated		Increase/	Percent

$	283,395	19	%	$	230,299	16	%	53,096	23	%

Sales and marketing expenses of $283.4 million and $230.3 million represented 19% and 16% of consolidated net revenues for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increases in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues was primarily generated by our publishing business as a result of significant marketing programs including television and in-theatre ad campaigns and in-store promotions to support our biggest product release slate in company history. The increase in sales and marketing investment as a percentage of net revenues was a result of additional sales and marketing investment during the key holiday season which did not provide the revenue increase that was anticipated at the time that the marketing costs were incurred.

We expect sales and marketing expense to decrease on both an absolute basis and as a percentage of consolidated net revenues in fiscal 2007 due to a more focused slate in fiscal 2007 and due to a more targeted sales and marketing plan.

General and Administrative (in thousands, as restated)

2006		Net Revenues		2005		Net Revenues		(Decrease)	Change

$	96,366	7	%	$	63,228	4	%	33,138	52	%

General and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2006 increased $33.1 million over the same period last year, from $63.2 million to $96.4 million. As a percentage of consolidated net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased from 4% to 7%. The increases were primarily due to an increase in personnel costs including costs related to European territory expansion, separation and severance costs associated with a less than 7% reduction in workforce in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, increased bad debt write-offs, an increase in foreign currency transaction losses, and increased legal costs.

We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease in absolute dollars in fiscal 2007 as we realize the benefits of a more efficient cost structure resulting from the recent workforce realignment partially offset by increases in compensation expense related to the implementation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment.

Consolidated	$	15,226		1	%	$	179,608	13	%	$	(164,382	)	(92	)%

Publishing operating income for the year ended March 31, 2006 decreased $162.6 million from the same period last year, from $155.9 million to an operating loss of $6.7 million. Changes in exchange rates related to the year over year weakening of the EUR, GBP, and Australian dollar (“AUD”) in relation to the USD did not have a material impact on publishing operating income. The decrease is primarily due to:

· Increased sales and marketing spending to support our large title release slate.

· Cancellation, impairment, and earn-out recoverability charges totaling $24.0 million taken in fiscal 2006. See additional description of charges incurred in the cost of sales – software royalties and amortization and the product development discussions.

· Write-downs of inventory costs of $14.5 million taken during fiscal 2006. See additional description in the cost of sales – product costs discussion.

Distribution operating income for the year ended March 31, 2006 decreased over the same period last year, from $23.7 million to $21.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on distribution operating income of approximately $1.4 million. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency rates, distribution operating income for the year ended March 31, 2006 decreased approximately $0.4 million or 2% from the same period last year.

$	30,630	2	%	$	13,092	1	%	$	17,538	134	%

Investment income, net for the year ended March 31, 2006 was $30.6 million as compared to $13.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher invested balances combined with rising yields, a realized gain in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 of $1.3 million on the sale of an investment in common stock, and a realized gain of $2.9 million on the sale of a cost basis investment during the year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 2005.

$	5,605	12	%	$	57,643	30	%	$	(52,038	)	(90	)%

The income tax provision of $5.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2006 reflects our effective income tax rate of 12%, which differs from our effective rate of 30% for the year ended March 31, 2005, due to an increase in federal research and development credit for the year ended March 31, 2006, over the amount generated for the year ended March 31, 2005, and a decrease in pretax income for the year ended March 31, 2006, versus the amount of pretax income for the year ended March 31, 2005, without a corresponding decrease in the benefit of book/tax. The significant items that generated the variance between our effective rate and our statutory rate of 35% were research and development tax credits and the impact of foreign tax rate differentials, partially offset by an increase in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance and state taxes. The realization of deferred tax assets depends primarily on the generation of future taxable income. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will generate taxable income sufficient to realize the benefit of net deferred tax assets recognized.

Net Income (as restated)

Net income for the year ended March 31, 2006 was $40.3 million or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to $135.1 million or $0.49 per diluted share for the year ended March 31, 2005.

Results of Operations – Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Net Revenues

We primarily derive revenue from sales of packaged interactive software games designed for play on video game consoles (such as the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube), PCs, and hand-held game devices (such as the GBA, NDS, and PSP). We also derive revenue from our distribution business in Europe that provides logistical and sales services to third-party publishers of interactive entertainment software, our own publishing operations, and third-party manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware.

The following table details our consolidated net revenues by business segment and our publishing net revenues by territory for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

Consolidated net revenues	$	1,405,857	$	947,656	$	458,201	48	%

Consolidated net revenues increased 48% from $947.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $1,405.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was principally generated by our publishing business. The increase in consolidated net revenues was driven by the following:

· Strong performances from our publishing business on the releases of our largest ever lineup of titles including: Spider-Man 2, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, THUG 2, Shrek 2, X-Men Legends, Doom 3, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Shark Tale, Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2005, and Rome: Total War. The strength of these titles combined with the significant sales and marketing investment led to over ten million-unit selling titles and achievement of our goal of having four multi-million-unit selling titles. We also had strong catalog sales from a number of our franchises including Tony Hawk, True Crime, Spider-Man, and Call of Duty. As a result of the strong performance of our key fiscal 2005 releases, we were able to maintain the original price points for those titles for an extended period of time.

· Continued focus on international publishing expansion with the opening of offices in Spain and Italy and an increased focus on other territories contributing to an increase in International Publishing revenues of 72% over fiscal 2004.

· An increase in our hand-held platform presence growing consolidated hand-held revenues by $118.7 million or 274% from $43.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $162.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. This was driven by a significant increase in the number of GBA titles released from four titles in fiscal 2004 to eleven titles in fiscal 2005, and by the introduction of the PSP and NDS platforms, for which we released a combined total of three titles.

· International net revenues benefited from the year over year strengthening of the Euro (“EUR”) and Great British Pound (“GBP”) in relation to the U.S. dollar. We estimate that foreign exchange rates increased reported net revenues by approximately $55.3 million. Excluding the impact of changing foreign currency rates, our international net revenues increased 31% year over year.

North America publishing net revenues increased 56% from $446.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2004, to $696.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. The increase reflects the strong performance of our fiscal 2005 slate of titles, strong catalog sales from a number of our franchises, and a significant increase in our hand-held platform presence.

International publishing net revenues increased by 72% from $218.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2004, to $376.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. International publishing also saw strong results from our 2005 titles, as well as strong fourth quarter performance in our LucasArts affiliate business. In addition, we had strong catalog sales from a number of our franchises, including Spider-Man, Call of Duty, Tony Hawk, and True Crime. There also was a positive strengthening of the EUR and the GBP in relation to the U.S. dollar of approximately $29.0 million. Excluding the impact of changing foreign currency rates, our international publishing net revenues increased 59% year over year.

Publishing Net Revenues by Platform

Publishing net revenues increased 61% from $665.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $1,072.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2005.

Net revenues from sales of titles for the PC increased 66% from $132.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $220.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. Driving the increase were the fiscal 2005 releases of Doom 3 and Rome: Total War combined with continued strong sell through of our catalog title, Call of Duty. According to NPD, we were the only publisher to have three top-ten PC titles for calendar year 2004: Doom 3, Call of Duty, and Rome: Total War. Also contributing to the increase in net revenues from sales of titles for the PC was an increase in the total number of titles shipped from eight in fiscal 2004 to fifteen in fiscal 2005.

Net revenues from sales of titles for the PS2 increased 44% from $289.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $417.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to strong, worldwide sales of several of our fiscal 2005 releases including THUG 2, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, X-Men Legends, Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2005. In fiscal 2005 we released thirteen titles for PS2 compared to ten in fiscal 2004 which included: True Crime: Streets of L.A., Tony Hawk’s Underground, X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts, and Cabela’s Deer Hunt 2004 Season.

Net revenues from sales of titles for the Xbox increased 36% from $145.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $196.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. Though the number of new Xbox titles remained relatively consistent from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005, we were able to increase our Xbox sales in both the North America and international markets. The increase was primarily due to strong worldwide sales of several of our Xbox titles including THUG 2, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, X-Men Legends, Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Greg Hastings’ Tournament Paintball, and Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2005. The increase was also affected by an increased installed base of the Xbox due mainly to the price cuts on the Xbox hardware in calendar 2004.

$	96,936	9	%	$	52,909	8	%	$	44,027	83	%

Net revenues from sales of titles for the Nintendo GameCube increased 83% from $52.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $96.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the number of GameCube new title releases from five in fiscal 2004 to eight in fiscal 2005. Also driving the increase in revenues was that the title slate in fiscal 2005 performed strongly as it was more targeted toward the demographic of the GameCube audience than the fiscal 2004 GameCube title slate. Our fiscal 2005 title slate was driven by new title releases of Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, Shark Tale, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, THUG 2, and Call of Duty: Finest Hour. Fiscal 2004 GameCube revenues were driven mainly by releases of Tony Hawk’s Underground and True Crime: Streets of L.A.

$	138,695	13	%	$	24,945	4	%	$	113,750	456	%

Net revenues from sales of titles for the hand-held for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased 456% from the prior fiscal year, from $24.9 million to $138.7 million. This was driven mainly by a significant increase in the number of GBA titles released from four titles in fiscal 2004 to eleven titles in fiscal 2005 and the introduction of two new hand-held devices, NDS, which was released worldwide, and PSP, which was released in North America. We successfully executed our strategy of having a high-quality presence at the launch of both the NDS and PSP platforms with one title based on the Spider-Man franchise at the launch of the NDS and two titles based on the Spider-Man and Tony Hawk franchises for the launch of the PSP. In addition to the increase in the number of GBA titles released, we implemented a customized marketing plan for the GBA platform and demographic to support a strong slate of new releases including THUG 2, Shrek 2: Beg for Mercy!, Shark Tale, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Spider-Man 2, and Shrek 2 which were all targeted toward the demographic of the GBA audience.

Overall

A significant portion of our revenues and profits is derived from a relatively small number of popular titles and brands each year as revenues and profits are significantly affected by our ability to release highly successful or “hit” titles. For example, for the year ended March 31, 2005, 31% of our consolidated net revenues and 41% of worldwide publishing net revenues were derived from net revenues from our Spider-Man 2, THUG 2, and Call of Duty: Finest Hour titles. Though many titles have substantial production or acquisition costs and marketing budgets, once a title recoups these costs, incremental net revenues directly and positively impact operating profits resulting in a disproportionate amount of operating income being derived from these select titles.

Distribution Net Revenues (in thousands)

March 31,		% of Consolidated		March 31,		% of Consolidated		Increase/		Percent

$	333,128	24	%	$	281,924	30	%	$	51,204	18	%

Distribution net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased 18% from the prior fiscal year, from $281.9 million to $333.1 million. Excluding the impact of the changing foreign currency rates, our distribution net revenues increased 9% year over year. About half of this increase was due to the positive impact of the year over year strengthening of the EUR and the GBP in relation to the U.S. dollar. The increase was primarily due to the continued growth in the industry wide software market, an increase in sales to mass merchants, as well as a change in the product mix. The mix of distribution net revenues between hardware and software sales varied year over year with approximately 13% of distribution net revenues from hardware sales in the year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 28% in the prior fiscal year. This was mainly attributed to an increase in business with large, mass-market customers that generate a higher percentage of sales from software. In both fiscal years, hardware sales were principally comprised of sales of console hardware.

$	658,949	47	%	$	475,541	50	%	$	183,408	39	%

Cost of sales – product costs represented 47% and 50% of consolidated net revenues for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In absolute dollars, cost of sales — product costs increased 39% due to significantly higher sales in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. The primary factors affecting the reduction in the cost of sales — product costs as a percentage of consolidated net revenues were:

· Increased ability to maintain premium pricing on “big proposition” titles for the year ended March 31, 2005.

· An increase in publishing net revenues from sales of PC titles by 66% year over year. PC publishing revenues as a percent of publishing net revenues for the year also grew from 20% to 21%. PC titles typically have lower product costs associated with them.

· A lower percentage of revenues generated from our distribution business, which is a lower margin business, in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004.

In absolute dollars, cost of sales – software royalties and amortization for the year ended March 31, 2005 also increased from the prior fiscal year, from $59.7 million to $123.8 million. This increase was due to an increase in the number of titles released as well as an increase in the overall costs to develop games. This compares to fiscal 2004 in which a higher proportion of revenues were derived from internally developed titles with lower associated game development costs.

$	62,197	6	%	$	31,862	5	%	$	30,335	95	%

Cost of sales – intellectual property licenses for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues over the same period last year, from 5% to 6%. The increases in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues were due to the release of more titles with associated licensed intellectual property as well as continued strong catalog sales of titles with associated licensed intellectual property compared to the titles released in fiscal 2004 for which a higher proportion of revenues was derived from titles that were internally developed with no associated intellectual property. In fiscal 2005 we released the following titles with associated intellectual property: Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, X-Men Legends, THUG 2, Lemony

Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Doom 3. In fiscal 2004, two of our top performing titles, True Crime: Streets of L.A. and Call of Duty, were based on our wholly-owned original intellectual property.

$	87,776	8	%	$	99,838	15	%	$	(12,062	)	(12	)%

Product development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2005 decreased as a percentage of publishing net revenues from the prior fiscal year, from 15% to 8%. In absolute dollars, product development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2005 also decreased from the prior fiscal year, from $99.8 million to $87.8 million. The decrease in product development as a percentage of publishing net revenues and in absolute dollars primarily resulted from a pre-tax charge of approximately $21 million taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 related to the cancellation of products which were believed to be unlikely to produce an acceptable level of return on our investment. Excluding the impact of the pre-tax charge, product development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased by approximately $9.0 million. This increase was attributable to higher game development costs as development time and team sizes as well as quality assurance time increased due to enhanced production values and to support more complex and robust gaming experiences.

Sales and Marketing (in thousands, as restated)

March 31,		% of Consolidated		March 31,		% of Consolidated		Increase/		Percent

$	230,299	16	%	$	128,904	14	%	$	101,395	79	%

Sales and marketing expenses of $230.3 million and $128.9 million represented 16% and 14% of consolidated net revenues for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increases in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues was primarily generated by our publishing business as a result of significant marketing programs, including television and in-theatre ad campaigns and in-store promotions, run in support of our key fiscal 2005 “big proposition” title releases Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Doom 3, Shark Tale, X-Men Legends, THUG 2, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Our experience has shown that this increased spending will lengthen the product sales life cycle and add to the long-term prospects of the respective product lines.

$	63,228	4	%	$	47,230	5	%	$	15,998	34	%

General and administrative expenses of $63.2 million and $47.2 million represented 4% and 5% of consolidated net revenues for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in headcount and related costs to support business growth, as well as an increase in professional services fees to support Sarbanes-Oxley related compliance. The decrease as a percentage of consolidated net revenues was due mainly to the significant increase in sales volume.

Publishing operating income for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased $67.9 million from the same period last year, from $87.9 million to $155.9 million. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency rates, publishing operating income for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased approximately $57.0 million from the same period last year. International publishing operating income for the year ended March 31, 2005 benefited from the positive impact of the year over year strengthening of the EUR and the GBP in relation to the U.S. dollar. The $57.0 million increase is primarily due to:

· Strong performance in both the North America and international markets of our fiscal 2005 title releases. The strong performance of the fiscal 2005 releases was driven by our largest lineup ever of big propositions, a record number of million-unit and multi-million unit titles, and an increased hand-held presence.

Partially offset by:

· Increased sales and marketing spending.

· Increased cost of sales – product costs, cost of sales – software royalties and amortization, and cost of sales – intellectual property licenses.

Distribution operating income for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased over the same period last year, from $16.6 million to $23.7 million. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency rates, distribution operating income for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased approximately $5.4 million from the same period last year. Distribution operating income for the year ended March 31, 2005 benefited from the positive impact of the year over year strengthening of the EUR and the GBP in relation to the U.S. dollar. The $5.4 million increase was primarily due to continued growth industry wide in the software market combined with a change in the product mix of hardware versus software sales as software tends to be a higher margin business.

Investment income, net for the year ended March 31, 2005 was $13.1 million as compared to $6.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher invested balances combined with rising yields during the year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004.

The income tax provision of $57.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 reflects our effective income tax rate of 30%. The significant items that generated the variance between our effective rate and our statutory rate of 35% were research and development tax credits and the impact of foreign tax rate differentials, partially offset by an increase in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance and state taxes. The realization of deferred tax assets depends primarily on the generation of future taxable income. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will generate taxable income sufficient to realize the benefit of net deferred tax assets recognized.

Net Income (as restated)

Net income for the year ended March 31, 2005 was $135.1 million or $0.49 per diluted share, as compared to $74.1 million or $0.29 per diluted share for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Selected Quarterly Operating Results

Our quarterly operating results have in the past varied significantly and will likely vary significantly in the future, depending on numerous factors, several of which are not under our control. See Item 1A - “Risk Factors.” Our business also has experienced and is expected to continue to experience significant seasonality, largely due to consumer buying patterns and our product release schedule focusing on those patterns. Net revenues typically are significantly higher during the fourth calendar quarter, primarily due to the increased demand for consumer software during the year-end holiday buying season. Accordingly, we believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

The following table is a comparative breakdown of our quarterly results for the immediately preceding eight quarters. The impact of the restatements on the interim periods of each of the quarters of our fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are disclosed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These restatements did not have a material impact on our analysis of results of operations, financial position, or changes in financial position included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, we have not updated the comparisons for discussion of items affecting these percentages. See Note 19, “Quarterly Financial and Market Information (Unaudited),” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail of the impact of the restatement.

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	45,088			72,654			(27,566		)

As of March 31, 2006, our primary source of liquidity is comprised of $354.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $590.6 million of short-term investments. Over the last two years, our primary sources of liquidity have included cash on hand at the beginning of the year and cash flows generated from continuing operations. We have also generated significant cash flows from the issuance of our common stock to employees through the exercise of options, which is described in more detail below in “Cash Flows from Financing Activities.” We have not utilized debt financing as a significant source of cash flows. However, we do have available at certain of our international locations, credit facilities, which are described below in “Credit Facilities,” that can be utilized if needed.

We believe that we have sufficient working capital ($922.2 million at March 31, 2006), as well as proceeds available from our international credit facilities, to finance our operational requirements for at least the next twelve months, including purchases of inventory and equipment, the funding of the development, production, marketing and sale of new products, and the acquisition of intellectual property rights for future products from third parties.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The primary source of cash flows from operating activities typically have included the collection of customer receivables generated by the sale of our products, offset by payments to vendors for the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of our products, third-party developers and intellectual property holders, and our own employees. A significant operating use of our cash relates to our continued investment in software development and intellectual property licenses. We spent approximately $193.9 million and $126.9 million in the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of publishing or distribution rights for products being developed by third parties, the execution of new license agreements granting us long-term rights to intellectual property of third parties, as well as the capitalization of product development costs relating to internally developed products. The increase period over period is primarily due to new agreements with DreamWorks Animation SKG, Marvel Enterprises, and Hasbro Properties Group, all of which were signed in fiscal 2006. We expect that we will continue to make significant expenditures relating to our investment in software development and intellectual property licenses. Our future cash commitments relating to these investments are detailed below in “Commitments.” Cash flows from operations are affected by our ability to release highly successful or “hit” titles. Though many of these titles have substantial production or acquisition costs and marketing expenditures, once a title recoups these costs, incremental net revenues typically will directly and positively impact cash flows.

For the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, cash flows from operating activities were $86.0 million and $215.3 million, respectively. The principal components comprising cash flows from operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2006, included favorable operating results and collection of accounts receivable partially offset by investment in software development and intellectual property licenses. See an analysis of the change in key balance

sheet accounts below in “Key Balance Sheet Accounts.” We expect that a primary source of future liquidity, both short-term and long-term, will be the result of cash flows from continuing operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The primary source of cash used in investing activities typically have included capital expenditures, acquisitions of privately held interactive software development companies, and the net effect of purchases and sales/maturities of short-term investment vehicles. The goal of our short-term investments is to maximize return while minimizing risk, maintaining liquidity, coordinating with anticipated working capital needs, and providing for prudent investment diversification.

For the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, cash flows used in investing activities were $85.8 million and $143.9 million, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2006, cash flows used in investing activities were primarily the result of capital expenditures, the increase in short-term investments, and business acquisitions. We have historically financed our acquisitions through the issuance of shares of common stock or a combination of common stock and cash. We will continue to evaluate potential acquisition candidates as to the benefit they bring to us.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The primary source of cash provided by financing activities have related to transactions involving our common stock, including the issuance of shares of common stock to employees and the public, and the purchase of treasury shares. We have not utilized debt financing as a significant source of cash flows. However, we do have available at certain of our international locations, credit facilities, which are described below in “Credit Facilities,” that can be utilized if needed.

For the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, cash flows from financing activities were $45.1 million and $72.7 million, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2006 was the result of the issuance of common stock related to employee stock option and stock purchase plans. During fiscal 2003, our Board of Directors authorized a buyback program under which we can repurchase up to $350.0 million of our common stock. Under the program, shares may be purchased as determined by management and within certain guidelines, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including privately negotiated structured stock repurchase transactions and through transactions in the options markets. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. In the past, we have entered into structured stock repurchase transactions that were settled in cash or stock based on the market price of our common stock on the date of the settlement. Upon settlement, we either had our capital investment returned with a premium or received shares of our common stock, depending, respectively, on whether the market price of our common stock was above or below a pre-determined price agreed in connection with each such transaction. As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $226.2 million available for utilization under the buyback program and no outstanding structured stock repurchase transactions. We actively manage our capital structure as a component of our overall business strategy. Accordingly, in the future, when we determine that market conditions are appropriate, we may seek to achieve long term value for the shareholders through, among other things, new debt or equity financings or refinancings, share repurchases, and other transactions involving our equity or debt securities.

Key Balance Sheet Accounts

Accounts Receivable

					Increase/
(amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2006		March 31, 2005		(Decrease)

Gross accounts receivable	$	127,035	$	178,335	$	(51,300	)
Net accounts receivable	28,782		109,144		(80,362		)

The decrease in gross accounts receivable was primarily the result of:

· Late fourth quarter fiscal 2005 North American releases of THUG 2 Remix and Spider-Man 2 for the PSP. Both titles were released concurrently with the release of the PSP platform in late March 2005. There were no corresponding new releases in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

· The fourth quarter fiscal 2005 releases of three affiliate titles, Mercenaries, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, and Star Wars: Republic Commando, in our European territories. There was only one affiliate title released in our European territories in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, LucasArts’ Star Wars: Empire at War, which was only released on PC.

Reserves for returns, price protection and bad debt increased from $69.2 million at March 31, 2005 to $98.3 million at March 31, 2006 while reserves as a percentage of gross receivables increased from 39% to 77%. This increase was largely due to increased reserves for returns and price protections related to weak market conditions and the uncertainty involved in the ongoing console transition. Reserves for returns and price protection are a function of the number of units and pricing of titles in retail inventory (see description of Allowances for Returns, Price Protection, Doubtful Accounts, and Inventory Obsolescence in Item 7: Critical Accounting Policies).

Inventories

					Increase/
(amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2006		March 31, 2005		(Decrease)

Inventories	$	61,483	$	48,018	$	13,465

Inventories have increased as a result of lower than expected performance on certain fiscal 2006 third quarter title releases. Uncertainties in the marketplace due to the current console transition cycle as well as changes in retailer buying patterns led to a buildup in inventories at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, primarily in our Publishing business segment. As a result of the buildup in inventory levels, for the year ended March 31, 2006 we had write-downs of inventory costs for certain titles in the amount of $14.5 million, as we anticipate that certain titles in our current inventory will be sold below its original cost.

Software Development

					Increase/
(amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2006		March 31, 2005		(Decrease)

Software development	$	60,619	$	91,614	$	(30,995	)

The decrease in software development was primarily the result of more titles in development at March 31, 2005 to support our fiscal 2006 title slate which was the largest in our history. As we plan a more focused title slate in fiscal 2007 due to the market uncertainty involved in the console transition, we have fewer titles in development than at the end of fiscal 2005.

Intellectual Property Licenses

					Increase/
(amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2006		March 31, 2005		(Decrease)

Intellectual Property Licenses	$	87,046	$	35,726	$	51,320

The increase in intellectual property licenses was primarily the result of continued investment in intellectual property licenses totaling $82.3 million year-to-date. In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we further extended our exclusive licensing agreement with Marvel Enterprises by signing a multi-year extension to our current video game licensing agreement for the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises. This agreement grants us the exclusive rights to develop and publish video games based on Marvel’s comic book franchises Spider-Man and X-Men. We also signed an agreement with Spider-Man Merchandising LP in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, to extend our exclusive worldwide rights to publish entertainment software products based on movie sequels subsequent to Spider-Man 3 or new television series to be produced based upon certain Marvel characters through 2017. Additionally, in our third quarter of fiscal 2006 we signed a multi-year agreement with DreamWorks Animation SKG which extended our exclusive video game rights to future films in the “Shrek” franchise beyond “Shrek the Third,” as well as titles based on several other films currently planned or in development. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we signed an agreement with Hasbro Properties Group granting us the global rights, excluding Japan, to develop console, hand-held, and PC games based on Hasbro’s “Transformers” brand.

Accounts Payable

					Increase/
(amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2006		March 31, 2005		(Decrease)

Accounts payable	$	88,994	$	108,984	$	(19,990	)

The decrease in accounts payable was primarily the result of a high level of payables at March 31, 2005 related to inventory purchases by our publishing business as a result of the release of Doom 3 for the Xbox in April 2005. There were no new releases early in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Accrued Expenses

					Increase/
(amounts in thousands)	March 31, 2006		March 31, 2005		(Decrease)
	As restated		As restated

Accrued expenses	$	104,862	$	99,661	$	5,201

The increase in accrued expenses was primarily driven by increased payroll accruals and separation and severance costs associated with a less than 7% reduction in workforce in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, increased accruals for legal costs, and increased co-op marketing support. The increase was partially offset by a reduced liability due to third parties on affiliate titles distributed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

Credit Facilities

We have revolving credit facilities with our Centresoft subsidiary located in the UK (the “UK Facility”) and our NBG subsidiary located in Germany (the “German Facility”). The UK Facility provided Centresoft with the ability to borrow up to GBP 12.0 million ($21.0 million), including issuing letters of credit, on a revolving basis as of March 31, 2006. Furthermore, under the UK Facility, Centresoft provided a GBP 0.6 million ($1.0 million) guarantee for the benefit of our CD Contact subsidiary as of March 31, 2006. The UK Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.0% as of March 31, 2006, is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary and expires in January 2007. The UK Facility also contains various covenants that require the subsidiary to maintain specified financial ratios

related to, among others, fixed charges. As of March 31, 2006, we were in compliance with these covenants. No borrowings were outstanding against the UK Facility as of March 31, 2006. The German Facility provided for revolving loans up to EUR 0.5 million ($0.6 million) as of March 31, 2006, bore interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus 2.5%, is collateralized by certain of the subsidiary’s property and equipment and has no expiration date. No borrowings were outstanding against the German Facility as of March 31, 2006.

As of March 31, 2006, we maintained a $7.5 million irrevocable standby letter of credit. The standby letter of credit is required by one of our inventory manufacturers to qualify for payment terms on our inventory purchases. Under the terms of this arrangement, we are required to maintain on deposit with the bank a compensating balance, restricted as to use, of not less than the sum of the available amount of the letter of credit plus the aggregate amount of any drawings under the letter of credit that have been honored thereunder but not reimbursed. At March 31, 2006, the $7.5 million deposit is included in short-term investments as restricted cash.

As of March 31, 2006, our publishing subsidiary located in the UK maintained a EUR 2.5 million ($3.0 million) irrevocable standby letter of credit. The standby letter of credit is required by one of our inventory manufacturers to qualify for payment terms on our inventory purchases. The standby letter of credit does not require a compensating balance and is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary and expires in July 2006. As of March 31, 2006, we had EUR 1.0 million ($1.2 million) of outstanding amounts against this letter of credit.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements with third parties for non-cancelable operating lease agreements for our offices, for the development of products, as well as for the rights to intellectual property. Under these agreements, we commit to provide specified payments to a lessor, developer, or intellectual property holder, based upon contractual arrangements. Typically, the payments to third-party developers are conditioned upon the achievement by the developers of contractually specified development milestones. These payments to third-party developers and intellectual property holders typically are deemed to be advances and are recoupable against future royalties earned by the developer or intellectual property holder based on the sale of the related game. Additionally, in connection with certain intellectual property right acquisitions and development agreements, we will commit to spend specified amounts for marketing support for the related game(s) which is to be developed or in which the intellectual property will be utilized. Additionally, we lease certain of our facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Assuming all contractual provisions are met, the total future minimum commitments for these and other contractual arrangements in place as of March 31, 2006, are scheduled to be paid as follows (amounts in thousands):

As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial parties, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

From August 2001 until September 2005, one of the members of our Board of Directors was an individual who is a partner in a law firm that has provided legal services to Activision for more than ten years. For the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the years presented in this Annual Report for which that person was a member of the Board of Directors, the fees we paid to the law firm were an insignificant portion of the law firm’s total revenues. We believe that the fees charged to us by the law firm were competitive with the fees charged by other law firms.

Financial Disclosure

We maintain internal controls over financial reporting, which generally include those controls relating to the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also are focused on our “disclosure controls and procedures,” which as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission are generally those controls and procedures designed to ensure that financial and non-financial information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Disclosure Committee, which operates under the Board approved Disclosure Committee Charter and Disclosure Controls & Procedures Policy, includes senior management representatives and assists executive management in its oversight of the accuracy and timeliness of our disclosures, as well as in implementing and evaluating our overall disclosure process. As part of our disclosure process, senior finance and operational representatives from all of our corporate divisions and business units prepare quarterly reports regarding their current quarter operational performance, future trends, subsequent events, internal controls, changes in internal controls, and other accounting and disclosure-relevant information. These quarterly reports are reviewed by certain key corporate finance representatives. These corporate finance representatives also conduct quarterly interviews on a rotating basis with the preparers of selected quarterly reports. The results of the quarterly reports and related interviews are reviewed by the Disclosure Committee. Finance representatives also conduct reviews with our senior management team, our internal and external counsel, and other appropriate personnel involved in the disclosure process, as appropriate. Additionally, senior finance and operational representatives provide internal certifications regarding the accuracy of information they provide that is utilized in the preparation of our periodic public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Financial results and other financial information also are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. As required by applicable regulatory requirements, the Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer review and make various certifications regarding the accuracy of our periodic public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting. With the assistance of the Disclosure Committee, we will continue to assess and monitor our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal controls over financial reporting, and will make refinements as necessary.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Laws

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”). SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

SFAS No. 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

· A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.

· A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, prior to April 1, 2006 we accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB No. 25’s intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant or measurement date only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the stock option or other stock-based award’s exercise price. If the grant date stock price exceeds the exercise price, then the intrinsic value is equal to the positive difference between these two values. Accordingly, the adoption of the SFAS No. 123R fair value method will have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. We adopted SFAS No. 123R on April 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective” approach. We currently believe that the expensing of stock-based compensation will have an impact on our Consolidated Statement of Operations similar to our pro-forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123 and expect an impact in fiscal 2007 of approximately $0.05 per share.

On November 24, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (“SFAS No. 151”). The standard requires that abnormal amounts of idle capacity and spoilage costs within inventory should be excluded from the cost of inventory and expensed when incurred. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are applicable to inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We expect the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

On December 15, 2004 the FASB issued Statement No. 153 (“SFAS No. 153”), Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an Amendment of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29. This standard requires exchanges of productive assets to be accounted for at fair value, rather than at carryover basis, unless (1) neither the asset received nor the asset surrendered has a fair value that is determinable within reasonable limits or (2) the transactions lack commercial substance. The new standard is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (“SFAS No. 154”), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle and correction of errors. Under previous guidance, changes in accounting principle were recognized as a cumulative effect in the net income of the period of the change. The new statement requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle and correction of errors, limited to the direct effects of the change, to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. In the event that we have an accounting change or an error correction, SFAS No. 154 could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155 (“SFAS No. 155”), Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – An amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities to resolve issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than

another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

On March 17, 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156 (“SFAS No. 156”), Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 156 amends Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; permits either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method, as subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective in the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 156 to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

On October 22, 2004, the President of the United States signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) which contains a number of tax law modifications with accounting implications. For companies that pay U.S. income taxes on manufacturing activities in the U.S., the Act provides a deduction from taxable income equal to a stipulated percentage of qualified income from domestic production activities. The manufacturing deduction provided by the Act replaces the extraterritorial income (“ETI”) deduction currently in place. We currently derive benefits from the ETI exclusion which was repealed by the Act. Our exclusion for fiscal 2006 and 2007 will be limited to 75% and 45% of the otherwise allowable exclusion and no exclusion will be available in fiscal 2008 and thereafter. The Act also creates a temporary incentive for U.S. multinationals to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations (“Homeland Investment Act”). The deduction is subject to a number of limitations. The Act also provides for other changes in tax law that will affect a variety of taxpayers. On December 21, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued two FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) regarding the accounting implications of the Act related to (1) the deduction for qualified domestic production activities and (2) the one-time tax benefit for the repatriation of foreign earnings. The FASB determined that the deduction for qualified domestic production activities should be accounted for as a special deduction under FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The FASB also confirmed, that upon deciding that some amount of earnings will be repatriated, a company must record in that period the associated tax liability. The guidance in the FSPs apply to financial statements for periods ending after the date the Act was enacted. We have evaluated the Act and have concluded that we will not repatriate foreign earnings under the Homeland Investment Act Provisions.

Inflation

Our management currently believes that inflation has not had a material impact on continuing operations.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the potential loss arising from fluctuations in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposures primarily include fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and market prices. Our market risk sensitive instruments are classified as instruments entered into for purposes “other than trading.” Our views on market risk are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur and do not represent the maximum possible gains and losses that may occur, since actual gains and losses will differ from those estimated, based upon actual fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, market prices, and the timing of transactions.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining an investment portfolio consisting primarily of debt instruments with high credit quality and relatively short average maturities. We also manage our interest rate risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalent balances such that we are typically able to hold our investments to maturity. As of March 31, 2006, our cash equivalents and short-term investments included debt securities of $666.3 million.

The following table presents the amounts and related weighted average interest rates of our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2006 (amounts in thousands):

	Average Interest Rate		Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Cash equivalents:
Fixed rate	4.75	%	$	154,522	$	154,368
Variable rate	4.59		37,560		37,560

Short-term investments:
Fixed rate	3.87	%	$	535,251	$	529,881

Our short-term investments generally mature between three months and thirty months.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We transact business in many different foreign currencies and may be exposed to financial market risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly EUR, GBP, and AUD. The volatility of EUR, GBP, and AUD (and all other applicable currencies) will be monitored frequently throughout the coming year. When appropriate, we enter into hedging transactions in order to mitigate our risk from foreign currency fluctuations. We will continue to use hedging programs in the future and may use currency forward contracts, currency options, and/or other derivative financial instruments commonly utilized to reduce financial market risks if it is determined that such hedging activities are appropriate to reduce risk. We do not hold or purchase any foreign currency contracts for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2006, we had no outstanding hedging contracts.

Market Price Risk

With regard to the structured stock repurchase transactions described in Note 16 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, at those times when we have structured stock repurchase transactions outstanding, it is possible that at settlement we could take delivery of shares at an effective repurchase price higher than the then market price. As of March 31, 2006, we had no structured stock repurchase transactions outstanding.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

1) Definition and Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that: (i) information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Inherent limitations to any system of disclosure controls and procedures include, but are not limited to, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of such controls by one or more persons. In addition, we have designed our system of controls based on certain assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, about the likelihood of future events, and our system of controls may therefore not achieve its desired objectives under all possible future events.

2) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. Based on this controls evaluation, and subject to the limitations described above, the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to, and only to the extent of, the material weakness in our historical stock option granting and modification practice, as described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated).

3) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last quarter of the period covered by the report that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

4) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated).

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2006, of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.

In Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in our original annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, our management concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006. Management has subsequently concluded that we had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006. As a result, we have concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. Accordingly, management has restated its report on internal control over financial reporting.

Specifically, effective controls, including monitoring, were not maintained to ensure the accuracy and valuation of our stock-based compensation transactions related to the granting and modification of our stock options. This control deficiency resulted in the misstatement of stock-based compensation expense, income tax expense, retained earnings, additional paid-in capital, and deferred tax asset accounts and related financial disclosures, and in the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, each of the quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and in adjustments to the interim consolidated financial statements for the second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2007. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A.

5) Detailed Description of the Material Weakness and Plan of Remediation.

As further described in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, our Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to correct errors in the determination of measurement dates for certain stock options granted and modified in our fiscal years between 1994 and 2006. These errors have been corrected in this Form 10-K/A. As described in Management’s Report on Internal

Control Over Financial Reporting, these errors were determined to be a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006.

Although we reviewed our internal control procedures for options in early 2004, it appears that these control procedures and control questions did not elicit information as to the date the grants were finalized and approved or as to the fair market value on that date, and that those controls were inadequate to ensure identification of, and proper accounting for, misdated, modified or repriced options.

The need for the measurement date corrections arose from our failure to understand and apply the correct accounting rules, failure to establish and maintain adequate procedures and controls, failure on certain occasions to appreciate the implications of available information, and insufficient finality and documentation. Management has determined that a material weakness existed as of March 31, 2006 with respect to the application of accounting principles to the equity award granting and modification process during the period covered by this report. In this regard, management has also determined that:

· We did not design and implement controls necessary to provide reasonable assurance that the measurement date for stock option grants was appropriately determined, and that modifications and repricings of options were appropriately accounted for in accordance with GAAP;

· We failed to ensure that actions of the Compensation Committee were timely and adequately documented;

· We failed to ensure that managers and other personnel involved in the stock option granting process understood the consequences of timely completion and approval of finalized employee grant lists.

After March 31, 2006, we have made a number of changes that may materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

New policies and procedures for our stock option grant practices were approved on November 21, 2006 by the Joint Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board, and became effective January 1, 2007. Our new option granting policies and procedures are designed to ensure internal control surrounding the pricing and modification of option grants is adequate, and also provide the Compensation Committee with the full ability to review and approve all grants prior to pricing on a date set on or after the date of the Compensation Committee action. Some of the highlights of the new option granting process are:

· All new hire offer letters and employee renewal agreements will provide that all grants and terms of grants are subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.

· Stock option data will be entered into Equity Edge, our stock option tracking software, promptly (and only) after grant approval is received from the Compensation Committee.

option granting and reporting have been reassigned. To further enhance our corporate governance practices, we have established and filled a position of principal compliance officer, with a reporting line directly to the Nominating and Governance Committee, and are reviewing the configuration of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

In addition, consistent with the recommendations of the Special Subcommittee, we have disengaged from our prior outside corporate counsel and have engaged new outside corporate counsel.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Activision, Inc.:

We have completed integrated audits of Activision, Inc.’s 2006 and 2005 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, and an audit of its 2004 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Activision, Inc. and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 of financial statements 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.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2006, 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements.

F-1

Internal control over financial reporting

Also, we have audited management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated) appearing under Item 9A, that Activision, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, because of the effect of not maintaining effective controls over the accounting for and disclosure of stock-based compensation expense, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment as of March 31, 2006. The Company did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for and disclosure of stock-based compensation expense. Specifically, effective controls, including monitoring, were not maintained to ensure the accuracy and valuation of the Company’s stock-based compensation transactions related to the granting and modification of stock options. This control deficiency resulted in the misstatement of stock-based compensation expense, income tax expense, retained earnings, additional paid-in capital, and deferred tax asset accounts, and related financial disclosures and in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, each of the quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and in adjustments to the interim consolidated financial statements for the second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2007. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, the Company has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2006 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Management and we previously concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006. Management subsequently determined that the material weakness described above existed as of March 31, 2006. Accordingly, Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting has been restated and our present opinion on internal control over financial reporting, as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.

F-2

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Activision, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Activision, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

ACTIVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended March 31, 2006

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

Activision, Inc. (“Activision,” the “Company,” or “we”) is a leading international publisher of interactive entertainment software products. We have built a company with a diverse portfolio of products that spans a wide range of categories and target markets and that is used on a variety of game hardware platforms and operating systems. We have created, licensed, and acquired a group of highly recognizable brands, which we market to a variety of consumer demographics. Our products cover diverse game categories including action/adventure, action sports, racing, role-playing, simulation, first-person action, and strategy. Our target customer base ranges from casual players to game enthusiasts, children to adults, and mass-market consumers to “value” buyers. We currently offer our products primarily in versions that operate on the Sony PlayStation 2 (“PS2”), Nintendo GameCube (“GameCube”), Microsoft Xbox (“Xbox”), and Microsoft Xbox 360 (“Xbox360”) console systems, Nintendo Game Boy Advance (“GBA”), Sony PlayStation Portable (“PSP”), and Nintendo Dual Screen (“NDS”) hand-held devices, and the personal computer (“PC”). In prior years, we have also offered our products on the Sony PlayStation (“PS1”) and Nintendo 64 (“N64”) console systems, and the Nintendo Game Boy Color (“GBC”) hand-held device. We are also in the process of developing titles for the next-generation console systems being developed by Sony and Nintendo, the PlayStation 3 (“PS3”) and the Wii, respectively.

We maintain operations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom (“UK”), Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia, Sweden, and the Netherlands. In fiscal year 2006, international operations contributed approximately 52% of consolidated net revenues.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Activision, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money markets, and short-term investments with original maturities of not more than 90 days

Short-term investments generally mature between three and thirty months. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their liquid nature and because such securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. All of our short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value with unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost of securities disposed with realized gains and losses reflected in investment income, net.

Restricted Cash – Compensating Balances

F-8

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. We place our temporary cash investments with financial institutions. At various times during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we had deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit at these financial institutions.

Our customer base includes retail outlets and distributors, including mass-market retailers, consumer electronics stores, discount warehouses, and game specialty stores in the United States and countries worldwide. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses. We generally do not require collateral or other security from our customers. We had two customers, Wal-Mart and GameStop, that accounted for 22% and 10% of consolidated net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2006 and 43% and 4% of consolidated gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2006. These customers were customers of both our publishing and distribution businesses. As of and for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, our largest customer, Wal-Mart, accounted for 23% and 20%, respectively, of consolidated net revenues and 33% of consolidated gross accounts receivable in both periods.

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies described below. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein may not be indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Short-term investments are carried at fair value with fair values being estimated based on quoted market prices.

We account for derivative instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133” and SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 133, 138, and 149 require that all derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts, be recognized in the balance sheet in other current assets or accrued expenses at their fair value.

We utilize forward contracts in order to reduce financial market risks. These instruments are used to hedge foreign currency exposures of underlying assets or liabilities. Our accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether they meet the criteria for designation as hedging transactions. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges, are highly effective, and qualify as hedging instruments, are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings within the financial statement line item consistent with the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of a derivative change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives that do not qualify as hedging instruments are recorded in earnings. The fair value of foreign currency contracts is estimated based on the spot rate of the various hedged currencies as of the end of the period. As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, we had no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts.

Equity Investments

From time to time, we may make a capital investment and hold a minority interest in a third-party developer in connection with entertainment software products to be developed by such developer for us. We account for those capital investments over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence using the equity method. For those investments over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, we account for our investment using the cost method.

F-9

Software Development Costs

Software development costs include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products.

We account for software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product encompasses both technical design documentation and game design documentation. For products where proven technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Prior to a product’s release, we expense, as part of cost of sales — software royalties and amortization, capitalized costs when we believe such amounts are not recoverable. Capitalized costs for those products that are cancelled or abandoned are charged to product development expense in the period of cancellation. Amounts related to software development which are not capitalized are charged immediately to product development expense. We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The recoverability of capitalized software development costs is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products for which the costs relate. Criteria used to evaluate expected product performance include: historical performance of comparable products using comparable technology; orders for the product prior to its release; and estimated performance of a sequel product based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based.

Intellectual Property Licenses

Intellectual property license costs represent license fees paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks, copyrights, software, technology, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development of our products. Depending upon the agreement with the rights holder, we may obtain the rights to use acquired intellectual property in multiple products over multiple years, or alternatively, for a single product.

F-10

Commencing upon the related product’s release, capitalized intellectual property license costs are amortized to cost of sales — intellectual property licenses based on the ratio of current revenues for the specific product to total projected revenues for all products in which the licensed property will be utilized. As intellectual property license contracts may extend for multiple years, the amortization of capitalized intellectual property license costs relating to such contracts may extend beyond one year. For intellectual property included in products that have been released and unreleased products, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease term: buildings, 25 to 33 years; computer equipment, office furniture and other equipment, 2 to 5 years; leasehold improvements, through the life of the lease. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed and any resulting gains or losses are recognized in current operations.

Goodwill

We account for goodwill using the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles.” SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting requirements for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite useful life and should not be amortized but rather tested at least annually for impairment. An impairment loss should be recognized if the carrying amount of goodwill is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Our impairment tests as of March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 did not indicate that goodwill was impaired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we have not amortized goodwill during the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from the sale of our products upon the transfer of title and risk of loss to our customers. Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (the date that products are made widely available for sale by retailers). For these products we recognize revenue no earlier than the street date. Revenue from product sales is recognized after deducting the estimated allowance for returns and price protection. With respect to license agreements that provide customers the right to make multiple copies in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized upon delivery of such copies. Per copy royalties on sales that exceed the guarantee are recognized as earned. In addition, in order to recognize revenue for both product sales and licensing transactions, persuasive evidence of an arrangement must exist and collection of the related receivable must be probable. Revenue recognition also determines the timing of certain expenses, including cost of sales — intellectual property licenses and cost of sales — software royalties and amortization.

F-11

Allowances for Returns, Price Protection, Doubtful Accounts, and Inventory Obsolescence

In determining the appropriate unit shipments to our customers, we benchmark our titles using historical and industry data. We closely monitor and analyze the historical performance of our various titles, the performance of products released by other publishers, and the anticipated timing of other releases in order to assess future demands of current and upcoming titles. Initial volumes shipped upon title launch and subsequent reorders are evaluated to ensure that quantities are sufficient to meet the demands from the retail markets but at the same time, are controlled to prevent excess inventory in the channel.

We value inventory at the lower of cost or market. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and in the retail channel and record a provision for excess or obsolete inventory based on the future expected demand for our products. Significant changes in demand for our products would impact management’s estimates in establishing our inventory provision.

F-12

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs, which consist primarily of packaging and transportation charges incurred to move finished goods to customers, are included in cost of sales – product costs.

Advertising Expenses

We expense advertising as incurred, except for production costs associated with media advertising which are deferred and charged to expense the first time the related ad is run. Advertising expenses for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were approximately $192.6 million, $150.7 million, and $76.6 million, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investment Income, Net

Investment income, net is comprised of the following, (amounts in thousands):

	For the years ended March 31,
	2006			2005			2004
Interest income	$	26,595		$	12,898		$	6,502
Interest expense	(262		)	(277		)	(348		)
Net realized gain on investments	4,297			471			21

Investment income, net	$	30,630		$	13,092		$	6,175

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. All assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period, and revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on short-term investments, foreign currency translation adjustments, and, if applicable, the effective portion of gains or losses on cash flow hedges that are presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the disclosure of gain or loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the

F-13

reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents are calculated using the treasury stock method and represent incremental shares issuable upon exercise of our outstanding options and warrants and, if applicable in the period, conversion of our convertible debt. However, potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.

Stock-Based Compensation and Pro Forma Information

Under SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” compensation expense is recorded for the issuance of stock options and other stock-based compensation in accordance with either the fair value method specified in SFAS No. 123 or in accordance with the intrinsic value method specified in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant or measurement date only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the stock option or other stock-based award’s exercise price. If the grant date stock price exceeds the exercise price, then the intrinsic value is equal to the positive difference between these two values. At March 31, 2006, we maintained several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 15. We account for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25 and related Interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

	For the years ended March 31,
	2006			2005			2004
	As restated (1)			As restated (1)			As restated (1)
Net income, as reported	$	40,251		$	135,057		$	74,098

F-14

For disclosure purposes, prior to April 1, 2005, the fair value of options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model as specified in SFAS No. 123. As of April 1, 2005, we switched to a binomial-lattice model to estimate the fair value of options granted from that date forward. The fair value of options granted in the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 has been estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

	Employee and Director Options and Warrants						Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	2006		2005		2004		2006		2005		2004

Expected life (in years)	5		3		4		0.5		0.5		0.5
Risk free interest rate	5.17	%	3.25	%	2.01	%	3.05	%	2.66	%	1.75	%
Volatility	48	%	48	%	49	%	42	%	46	%	51	%
Dividend yield	—		—		—		—		—		—

Both the binomial-lattice model and the Black-Scholes option pricing model require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. To estimate volatility for the binomial-lattice model, we use methods or capabilities that are discussed in SFAS No. 123R (“Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment”). These methods included the implied volatility method based upon the volatilities for exchange-traded options on our stock to estimate short-term volatility, the historical method (annualized standard deviation of the instantaneous returns on Activision’s stock) to estimate long-term volatility and a statistical model to estimate the transition or “mean reversion” from short-term volatility to long-term volatility. Based on these methods, for options granted during the quarters in the year ended March 31, 2006, the expected stock price volatility ranged from 40% to 55%, with a weighted average volatility of 48% for options granted during the quarters in the year ended March 31, 2006. For the Black-Scholes option pricing model used for options granted in each of the quarters in the year ended March 31, 2005, the historical stock price volatility used was based on weekly stock price observation, using an average of the high and low stock prices of our common stock, which resulted in an expected stock price volatility ranging from 45% to 48%. For purposes of the above pro forma disclosure, the fair value of options granted is amortized to stock-based employee compensation cost over the period(s) in which the related employee services are rendered. Accordingly, the pro forma stock-based compensation cost for any period will typically depend on options granted in both the current period and prior periods.

For options granted during fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004, the per share weighted average fair value of options was $5.09, $3.06, and $1.73, respectively. The per share weighted average estimated fair value of Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares granted during the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $3.11, $1.59, and $0.85, respectively.

The effects on pro forma disclosures of applying SFAS No. 123 may not be representative of the effects on actual compensation expense of applying SFAS No. 123R in future years.

Common stock warrants are granted from time to time to non-employees in connection with the development of software and acquisition of licensing rights for intellectual property. In accordance with EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Connection With Selling Goods or Services,” the fair value of common stock warrants granted is determined as of the measurement date and is capitalized, expensed and amortized consistent with our policies relating to software development and intellectual property license costs.

Restricted Stock

In June 2005, we issued the rights to 155,763 shares of restricted stock to an employee. Additionally, in October 2005 we issued the rights to 96,712 shares of restricted stock to an employee. These shares vest over a five-year period and remain subject to forfeiture if vesting conditions are not met. The fair value of these shares when issued was approximately $12.84 and $15.51 per share, respectively, and resulted in increases in “Additional paid-in capital” and “Unearned compensation” of $2.0 million and $1.5 million on the respective balance sheets at the times

F-15

of grant. We reduce unearned compensation and recognize compensation expense over the vesting periods. For the year ended March 31, 2006, we recorded expense related to these shares of approximately $467,000 in “General and administrative” on the accompanying statements of operations.

2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

The restatement reflects the findings of the Special Subcommittee of independent members of our Board of Directors, which was established in July 2006 to review our historical stock option granting practices.

Background of Review: In June 2006, two investment companies published reports analyzing companies in the video game publishing industry (including the Company) for potentially problematic option grants. In response to these reports, we directed Bryan Cave LLP, which was then our outside counsel, to review historic stock option grants to our senior executive officers, including grants identified in the published investment company reports, and to compile materials relating to such grants. In July 2006, two stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed against certain of our current and former officers and directors alleging improprieties in our issuance of stock options. On July 25, 2006, the Board approved the appointment of a Special Subcommittee of independent directors to conduct a comprehensive independent review of our practices and policies relating to the granting of stock options (the “Special Subcommittee”).

Scope of Review: On or about August 4, 2006, the Special Subcommittee retained the law firm of Munger Tolles & Olson LLP to serve as counsel to the Special Subcommittee and to assist the Special Subcommittee in conducting its review. Counsel to the Special Subcommittee thereafter retained Deloitte & Touche USA LLP (“Deloitte”), an independent registered public accounting firm, to assist in a review of facts and circumstances regarding our historical stock option grants and to advise Special Subcommittee counsel on accounting issues with respect to the stock option grants.

Determination of Measurement Dates: According to APB No. 25, the measurement date is the first date on which proper approval is obtained and all of the following are known: (1) the individual employee who is entitled to receive the option grant, (2) the number of options that an individual employee is entitled to receive, and (3) the

F-16

option’s exercise price. To correct the grant date inaccuracies, we re-determined the measurement date based on the date when all APB No. 25 criteria were satisfied. In re-determining the most appropriate measurement date of an option grant, we considered meeting minutes and other documents of our Board of Directors, including minutes of the Compensation Committee, in addition to the following data:

· reports on Form 4 filed with the SEC;

· personnel files;

· payroll records;

· information obtained in interviews with various current and former Company employees and members of our Board of Directors;

· various records maintained by our human resources department;

· contemporaneous emails; and

Over the 15 year review period covering from fiscal year 1992 through fiscal year 2006, over 80% of all grants representing over 90% of all shares, were either individually reviewed (such as an employment contract grant) or were reviewed as a separate block of grants (such as annual grants or acquisition related grants) or as an identifiable category of grants with common characteristics. The remaining 1,489 grants, representing less than 8% of all shares, were not individually reviewed and did not appear to have any unusual pricing or other characteristics indicating a need for full individual review. Sampling and other analysis indicated that these remaining grants consisted of grants to “rank-and-file” employees, largely in the categories of employment contract, bonus, and other miscellaneous grants. These remaining grants, for the most recent 5 year period from fiscal year 2002 through fiscal year 2006, represented 4,953,230 shares and 2% of all the shares granted during the entire 15 year review period. Various analytics and sensitivities were performed to determine whether these remaining grants had any unique pricing or other characteristics. None were identified. For perspective as a sensitivity analysis, if the high market price, between the option grant date and the option entry date (the date on which such grants were entered into the Company’s stock option system and available to employees), was used as an alternative measurement date price for a sampling of grants based on distribution patterns and price ranges, the total additional pre-tax compensation expense would be approximately $2.5 million spread over a period from fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 2006, and approximately $1.3 million of pre-tax expense would impact the five most recent fiscal years from 2002 through 2006. Given the immaterial number of shares and limited potential income statement impact, along with the absence of unique pricing or other characteristics, additional review procedures were not deemed necessary for these remaining grants and were therefore not applied, and no change was made to the original grant date as the measurement date.

The following is a summary of the primary stock-option accounting errors underlying this restatement and their impact in key categories of option grants.

The cumulative effect of all the restatement adjustments to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2003 resulted in a decrease in retained earnings of $38.0 million, an increase in additional paid-in capital of $36.2 million, and a decrease in deferred tax assets of $1.8 million.

in certain cases, exercised each year. We do not have any tax liability associated with Section 409A. On January 29, 2007, the Company communicated to its non-executive officer employees, who hold options subject to Section 409A, that the Company is committed to ensuring that they suffer no financial harm as a result of issues arising under Section 409A. For options that have already been exercised by non-executive officer employees, that are subject to Section 409A consequences, the Company has elected to participate in the Internal Revenue Service program described in IRS Announcement 2007-18 pursuant to which the Company was able to pay the Section 409A taxes on behalf of its non-executive officer employees, and has incurred $7.3 million in additional pre-tax compensation expense in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2007, in absorbing these related costs on behalf of these employees. With respect to unexercised options subject to Section 409A held by such current and former non-executive officer employees, the Company intends to take steps to eliminate their Section 409A tax liability consistent with Internal Revenue Service guidance, and this will likely result in additional future compensation expense to the Company once these actions occur.

The following tables reflect the impact of the additional non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense and related tax effects on:

3. Stock Splits

In April 2003, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend. The split was paid on June 6, 2003 to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2003. In February 2004, the Board of Directors approved a second three-for-two split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend. The split was paid on March 15, 2004 to shareholders of record as of February 23, 2004. In February 2005, the Board of Directors approved a four-for-three split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 33-1/3% stock dividend. The split was paid March 22, 2005 to shareholders of record as of March 7, 2005. In September 2005, the Board of Directors approved a four-for-three split of our outstanding common shares effected in the form of a 33-1/3% stock dividend. The split was paid October 24, 2005 to shareholders of record as of October 10, 2005. The par value of our common stock was maintained at the pre-split amount of $.000001. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, including all share and per share data, have been restated as if the stock splits had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

4. Acquisitions

During the three years ended March 31, 2006, we separately completed the acquisition of four privately held interactive software development companies. We accounted for these acquisitions in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations, requiring that the purchase method be used to account and report for all business combinations. These acquisitions have further enabled us to implement our multi-platform development strategy by bolstering our internal product development capabilities for console systems and personal computers and strengthening our position in the first-person action, action/adventure, and action sports game categories. A significant portion of the purchase price for all of these acquisitions was assigned to goodwill as the primary asset we acquired in each of the transactions was an assembled workforce with proven technical and design talent with a history of high quality product creation. Pro forma consolidated statements of operations for these acquisitions are not shown, as they would not differ materially from reported results.

F-33

In accordance with EITF 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” the fair value of investments in an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized was $672.4 million and $508.2 million at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, with related gross unrealized losses of $5.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively. At March 31, 2006, the gross unrealized losses were comprised mostly of unrealized losses on U.S. agency issues, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities with $3.9 million of unrealized loss being in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater. At March 31, 2005, the gross unrealized losses were comprised mostly of unrealized losses on corporate bonds, U.S. agency issues, and asset-back securities with $464,000 of unrealized loss being in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater.

The Company’s investment portfolio usually consists of government and corporate securities with effective maturities less than 30 months. The longer the term of the securities, the more susceptible they are to changes in market rates of interest and yields on bonds. Investments are reviewed periodically to identify possible impairment. When evaluating the investments, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market value. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the initial cost of the investment. The Company expects to realize the full value of all of these investments upon maturity or sale.

6. Software Development Costs and Intellectual Property Licenses

11. Operations by Reportable Segments and Geographic Area

We operate two business segments: (i) publishing of interactive entertainment software and (ii) distribution of interactive entertainment software and hardware products.

Publishing refers to the development, marketing, and sale of products directly, by license or through our affiliate label program with certain third-party publishers. In the United States, we primarily sell our products on a direct basis to mass-market retailers, consumer electronics stores, discount warehouses, and game specialty stores. We conduct our international publishing activities through offices in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Australia, Sweden, Canada, and Japan. Our products are sold internationally on a direct-to-retail basis and through third-party distribution and licensing arrangements and through our wholly-owned distribution subsidiaries located in the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany.

Distribution refers to our operations in the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany that provide logistical and sales services to third-party publishers of interactive entertainment software, our own publishing operations, and manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware.

Resources are allocated to each of these segments using information on their respective net revenues and operating profits before interest and taxes.

The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Transactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation.

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the income tax provision for each of the years are as follows:

	For the years ended March 31,
	2006		2005		2004
	As restated		As restated		As restated

Federal income tax provision at statutory rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%
State taxes, net of federal benefit	4.3		2.8		2.3
Research and development credits	(36.2	)	(6.6	)	(8.4	)
Decremental effect of foreign tax rates	(10.5	)	(2.4	)	(2.4	)
Changes in tax reserves	(2.2	)	(0.9	)	2.2
Changes in valuation allowance	18.0		3.2		3.9
Other	3.8		(1.2	)	0.5

	12.2	%	29.9	%	33.1	%

The income tax provision of $5.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, reflects our effective income tax rate for the year of 12.2%, which differs from our effective rate of 29.9% for the year ended March 31, 2005, due to an increase in federal research and development credits for the year ended March 31, 2006, over the amount generated for the year ended March 31, 2005, and a decrease in pretax income for the year ended March 31, 2006, versus the amount of pretax income for the year ended March 31, 2005, without a corresponding decrease in the benefit of book/tax differences. The significant items that generated the variance between our effective rate and our statutory rate of 35% for the year ended March 31, 2006, were research and development tax credits and the impact of foreign tax rate differentials, partially offset by state taxes.

F-41

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of the net deferred tax asset and liability are as follows (amounts in thousands):

	As of March 31,
	2006			2005
	As restated			As restated

Deferred asset:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	$	739		$	205
Allowance for sales returns	16,200			8,580
Inventory reserve	2,474			391
Vacation and bonus reserve	4,993			2,961
Amortization and depreciation	3,970			4,306
Tax credit carryforwards	74,488			53,130
Net operating loss carryforwards	13,770			26,362
Stock Options	3,272			3,971
Other	6,209			3,899

Deferred asset	126,115			103,805
Valuation allowance	(35,555		)	(25,666		)

Net deferred asset	90,560			78,139

Deferred liability:
Capitalized research expenses	22,537			41,208
State taxes	5,814			3,174

Deferred liability	28,351			44,382

Net deferred asset	$	62,209		$	33,757

The tax benefits associated with certain net operating loss carryovers relate to employee stock options. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, net operating losses do not include $30.9 million relating to these items which will be credited to additional paid-in capital when realized.

As of March 31, 2006, our available federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $75.5 million (restated from $87.7 million due to matters related to the restatement) is subject to certain limitations as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2020 and 2024. We have various state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $44.7 million (restated from $51.0 million due to matters related to the restatement) which are not subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. We have tax credit carryforwards of $43.7 million and $31.4 million for federal and state purposes, respectively, which begin to expire in 2008.

At March 31, 2006, our deferred income tax asset for tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards was reduced by a valuation allowance of $35.6 million as compared to $25.7 million in the prior fiscal year. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the continued generation of sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of tax credits and loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the net carrying value of the deferred tax asset will be realized.

Cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes have been provided approximated $68.4 million at March 31, 2006. Deferred income taxes on these earnings have not been provided as these amounts are considered to be permanent in duration.

Credit Facilities

We have revolving credit facilities with our Centresoft subsidiary located in the UK (the “UK Facility”) and our NBG subsidiary located in Germany (the “German Facility”).

The standby letter of credit is required by one of our inventory manufacturers to qualify for payment terms on our inventory purchases. Under the terms of this arrangement, we are required to maintain on deposit with the bank a compensating balance, restricted as to use, of not less than the sum of the available amount of the letter of credit plus the aggregate amount of any drawings under the letter of credit that have been honored thereunder but not reimbursed. At March 31, 2006, the $7.5 million deposit is included in short-term investments as restricted cash.

As of March 31, 2006, our publishing subsidiary located in the UK maintained a EUR 2.5 million ($3.0 million) irrevocable standby letter of credit. As of March 31, 2005, we did not maintain this standby letter of credit. The standby letter of credit is required by one of our inventory manufacturers to qualify for payment terms on our inventory purchases. The standby letter of credit does not require a compensating balance and is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary and expires in July 2006. As of March 31, 2006, we had EUR 1.0 million ($1.2 million) of outstanding amount against this letter of credit.

Compensation Guarantee

In June 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with the President and Chief Executive Officer of Activision Publishing, Inc. containing a guarantee related to total compensation. The agreement guarantees that in the event that on May 15, 2010 total compensation has not exceeded $20.0 million, we will make a payment for the amount of the shortfall. The $20.0 million guarantee will be recognized as compensation expense evenly over the term of the employment agreement comprising of salary payments, bonus payments, restricted stock expense, stock option expense, and an accrual for any anticipated remaining portion of the guarantee. The remaining portion of the guarantee is accrued over the term of the agreement in “Other liabilities” and will remain accrued until the end of the employment agreement at which point it will be used to make a payment for any shortfall or reclassified into shareholders’ equity.

Non-Employee Warrants

In prior years, we have granted stock warrants to third parties in connection with the development of software and the acquisition of licensing rights for intellectual property. The warrants generally vest upon grant and are exercisable over the term of the warrant. The exercise price of third-party warrants is generally greater than or equal to their fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. No third-party warrants were granted during the year ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, 936,000 third-party warrants to purchase common stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $4.54 per share. No third-party warrants were granted during the year ended March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, 936,000 third-party warrants to purchase common stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $4.54 per share. No third-party warrants were granted during the year ended March 31, 2004. As of March 31, 2004, 2,736,000 third-party warrants to purchase common stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $5.35 per share.

In accordance with EITF 96-18, we measure the fair value of the securities on the measurement date. The fair value of each warrant is capitalized and amortized to expense when the related product is released and the related revenue is recognized. Additionally, as more fully described in Note 1, the recoverability of capitalized software development costs and intellectual property licenses is evaluated on a quarterly basis with amounts determined as not recoverable being charged to expense. In connection with the evaluation of capitalized software development costs and intellectual property licenses, any capitalized amounts for related third-party warrants are additionally reviewed for recoverability with amounts determined as not recoverable being amortized to expense. For the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, $0.5 million, $1.6 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, was amortized and included in cost of sales - software royalties and amortization and/or cost of sales - intellectual property licenses.

Employee Retirement Plan

We have a retirement plan covering substantially all of our eligible employees. The retirement plan is qualified in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, employees may defer up to 92% of their pre-tax salary, but not more than statutory limits. We contribute 20% of each dollar contributed by a participant. Our matching contributions to the plan were approximately $1.3 million, $905,000, and $700,000 during the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

16. Capital Transactions

Buyback Program

Under the buyback program, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005. We repurchased approximately 3.4 million shares of our common stock for $12.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2004. In addition, approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock were acquired in the year ended March 31, 2004 as a result of the settlement of $10.0 million of structured stock repurchase transactions entered into in fiscal 2003. As of March 31, 2006, we had no outstanding structured stock repurchase transactions. Structured stock repurchase transactions are settled in cash or stock based on the market price of our common stock on the date of the settlement. Upon settlement, we either have our capital investment returned with a premium or receive shares of our common stock, depending, respectively, on whether the market price of our common stock is above or below a pre-determined price agreed in connection with each such transaction. These transactions are recorded in shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $226.2 million available for utilization under the buyback program and no outstanding stock repurchase transactions.

Shelf Registrations

In August 2003, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission two amended shelf registration statements, including the base prospectuses therein. As of the date of filing of this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, we are unable to offer or sell securities under either of these shelf registration statements, and we will continue to be unable to offer or sell any securities under either of these shelf registration statements until we have completed and filed an amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006 reflecting the effects of the matters underlying the restatement of our consolidated financial statements as set forth in this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, and we will continue to be unable to offer or sell any securities under the shelf registration on Form S-3 until we have otherwise satisfied the requirements for use of Form S-3. Subject to the completion and filing of those reports, our future timely compliance with ongoing periodic reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including the timely filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007), and our compliance with the requirements for the use of Form S-3 and S-4: The first shelf registration statement, on Form S-3, allows us to offer any combination of securities described in the base prospectus in one or more offerings with an aggregate initial offering price of up to $500,000,000. Unless we stated otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital, repayment or reduction of long-term and short-term debt, and the financing of acquisitions and other business combinations. We may invest funds that we do not immediately require in marketable securities. The second shelf registration statement, on Form S-4, allows us to offer any combination of securities described in the base prospectus in one or more offerings with an aggregate initial offering price of up to $250,000,000 in connection with our acquisition of the assets, business or securities of other companies whether by purchase, merger, or any other form of business combination. Unless and until we regain the ability to offer and sell securities under these two shelf registration statements, we will be required to rely on other sources of funding and other bases for the issuance of securities, such as Form S-1 or any exemptions from registration requirements that may be available.

Shareholders’ Rights Plan

On April 18, 2000, our Board of Directors approved a shareholders rights plan (the “Rights Plan”). Under the Rights Plan, each common shareholder at the close of business on April 19, 2000, received a dividend of one right for each share of common stock held. Each right represents the right to purchase one-six hundredths (1/600) of a share, as adjusted on account of stock dividends made since the plan’s adoption, of our Series A Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $6.67 per share, as adjusted on account of stock dividends made since the plan’s adoption. Initially, the rights are represented by our common stock certificates and are neither exercisable nor traded separately from our common stock. The rights will only become exercisable if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the common stock of Activision, or announces or commences a tender or exchange offer which would result in the bidder’s beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our common stock.

In the event that any person or group acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock each holder of a right (other than such person or members of such group) will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of such right, in lieu of shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, the number of shares of common stock of Activision having a value equal to two times the then current exercise price of the right. If we are acquired in a merger or other

F-50

business combination transaction after a person has acquired 15% or more of our common stock, each holder of a right will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of such right a number of the acquiring company’s common shares having a market value equal to two times the then current exercise price of the right. For persons who, as of the close of business on April 18, 2000, beneficially own 15% or more of the common stock of Activision, the Rights Plan “grandfathers” their current level of ownership, so long as they do not purchase additional shares in excess of certain limitations.
