Annual Report
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 (the
Company) as of March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended March 28, 2009. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have
also audited the accompanying financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 28, 2009, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in notes 11 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109, effective April 1, 2007 and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the
Current Year Financial Statements, effective April 2, 2006.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), Electronic Arts Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2009, based on
criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated May 21, 2009 expressed an
unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Electronic Arts Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.
