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 at February 27, 2010 and February 28, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended February 27, 2010, February 28, 2009 and
March 1, 2008. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as at February 27, 2010 and February 28, 2009, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended February 27, 2010, February 28, 2009 and March 1, 2008, 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 27, 2010, 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 1, 2010 expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.
