Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Apple Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apple Inc. as of September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 24, 2011.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’
s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Apple Inc.
at September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended September 24, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Apple Inc.’
s
internal control over financial reporting as of September 24, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated October 26, 2011 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
