REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Dell Computer Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dell
Computer Corporation and its subsidiaries at January 31, 2003 and February 1, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended January 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, during fiscal 2001 the Company changed its revenue recognition for certain product
shipments.
