PART II
ITEM8.Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Registered Public AccountingFirm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Google Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Google Inc. as of December31, 2011 and 2012, and the
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash fl ows for each of the three
years in the period ended December31, 2012. Our audits also included the fi nancial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item15(a)2. These fi nancial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements and schedule 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 fi nancial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the fi nancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signifi cant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall fi nancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the fi nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated fi nancial position
of Google Inc. at December31, 2011 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash fl ows for each of the
three years in the period ended December31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in
our opinion, the related fi nancial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic fi nancial 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), Google
Inc.’s internal control over fi nancial reporting as of December31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated January29,
2013 expressed an unqualifi ed opinion thereon.
