(1) The adjustment in respect of current income tax of prior years for the financial year ended March 31, 2024 mainly relates to the tax treatment of warrants in Switzerland whereas the deferred tax for prior years mainly includes a decrease of deferred tax assets related to tax loss carry forwards incurred in Germany amounting to EUR1.2 million and Portugal amounting to EUR0.3 million. The prior year deferred tax expense is partially offset with a deferred tax income resulting from the updated estimate of deferred tax on amortization of intangible assets from past business combination amounting to EUR1.6 million. The adjustment in respect to current income taxes of prior years for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 mainly comprises of a benefit of EUR4.2 million resulting from the reversal of a previously-recorded uncertain tax position as a consequence of the final tax assessment received from the relevant authorities; and a EUR0.6 million penalty reduction for the withholding tax on interests and license fees in Italy.
(2) Furthermore, the deferred tax benefit posted includes a deferred tax expense resulting from changes in tax rates amounting to EUR0.2 million
