(5) Stock-based compensation is included in the following operating expense line items of our consolidated
statements of operations (in millions):
Year Ended May 31,
2007 2006 2005
Sales and marketing $ 38 $ 8 $ 6
Software license updates and product support 11 3 2
Cost of services 15 7 7

Subtotal 198 31 25
Acquisition related charges 9 18 47
Total $ 207 $ 49 $ 72
Stock-based compensation included in acquisition related charges resulted from unvested options assumed
from acquisitions whose vesting was fully accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the
terms of these options.
We adopted Statement 123R on June 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method. Statement 123R
requires us to record non-cash operating expenses associated with stock option awards at their estimated
fair values. Prior to our Statement 123R adoption, we were required to record stock-based compensation
expenses at intrinsic values. Accordingly, prior to our adoption of Statement 123R, substantially all of our
stock-based compensation expense related to options assumed from acquisitions. In accordance with the
modified prospective method, our financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect,
and do not include, the changes in methodology to expense options at fair values in accordance with
Statement 123R. As of May 31, 2007, the unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options
expected to vest was approximately $356 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted
average period of 1.3 years. See Note 7 of Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding our adoption of Statement 123R.
(6) The income tax effects on purchase accounting adjustments and other significant expenses including
stock-based compensation were calculated based on our effective tax rates of 28.6%, 29.7% and 28.8% in
fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively
