REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Electronic Arts Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Electronic Arts Inc. and subsidiaries as of
March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
equity and comprehensive income, and cash Öows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
March 26, 2005. In connection with our audits of the consolidated Ñnancial statements, we have also audited
the accompanying Ñnancial statement schedule. These consolidated Ñnancial statements and Ñnancial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated Ñnancial 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 Ñnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Ñnancial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signiÑcant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall Ñnancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated Ñnancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the Ñnancial position of Electronic Arts Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, and
the results of their operations and their cash Öows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
March 26, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the
related Ñnancial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated Ñnancial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the eÅectiveness of Electronic Arts Inc.'s internal control over Ñnancial reporting as of
March 26, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated June 3,
2005 expressed an unqualiÑed opinion on management's assessment of, and the eÅective operation of, internal
control over Ñnancial reporting.
