report of independent registered public
accounting firm
To the Shareholders of Research In Motion Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Research In Motion Limited (the “Company”) as of
February 28, 2009 and March 1, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows
for the years ended February 28, 2009, March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007. 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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and 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 the Company as at February 28, 2009 and March 1, 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2009, March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007, in conformity with
United States generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our
report dated April 7, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
