Isn't that like more than their entire Q1 profits?

aha lol but its Aussie dollars so not sure how it converts.

it's around 90cent us per Au dollar. So .... ummm yeah not gonna do the maths on it lol, let me cheat!

53,000,000.00 AUD

=

47,620,520.28 USD

there.... I even worked it out and made a table around it... somehow! 47m us dollars. pretty harsh.

But what we dont know is if this loss was already included in the Q1 results or has only just poped up.

Given the CEO leaving he probably is in some way responsible so Sony worldwide Heads probably didn't know that this division hadn't been keeping up to date properly on its taxes, I would think the loss wouldn't be included.
