Yes - Apple.

Apple maintains an item on its ledgers (and public reports) to indicate
that these are deferred taxes and that there is a significant chance
that someday taxes will have to be paid.

Google and others do not report such an item.

Which is a more honest statement of the assets and liabilities of the
corporation?
