Note b: Before 2008, Giganology Shenzhen sold several self-developed software at a market valuation of approximately RMB42 million to Shenzhen Xunlei. Shenzhen Xunlei was entitled to capitalize the amounts as intangible assets for tax purposes and the respective amortization charges could be entitled to claim tax deduction. As a result, this transaction had created a temporary difference between the accounting base (on a group basis) and the tax base (on Shenzhen Xunlei standalone basis) and led to origination of a deferred tax asset.
Note c: As mentioned in Note 2(m), the Group adopts certain accelerated amortization methods for amortization of certain Content Copyrights for accounting purposes, while straight- line method is adopted for PRC tax reporting. Accordingly, the differences have led to origination of temporary differences.
Note d: The deferred tax liabilities arising from the aggregate retained earnings and reserves of the VIE and its subsidiaries that are expected to be recovered by Giganology Shenzhen and other affiliates of the Group in the future periods, amounted to USD 32,296 thousand and USD 34,210 thousand as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
