support contracts assumed will not be recognized during fiscal 2012 and 2013, respectively, that would have otherwise been recognized
by Sun as an independent entity. To the extent customers renew these support contracts, we expect to recognize revenues for the full
contract value over the support renewal period.
(2) Represents the effects of fair value adjustments to our inventories acquired from Sun that were sold to customers in the post-combination
period. Business combination accounting rules require us to account for inventories assumed from our acquisitions at their fair values.
The $29 million included in the hardware systems products expenses line in the table above is intended to adjust these expenses to the
hardware systems products expenses that would have been otherwise recorded by Sun as an independent entity upon the sale of these
inventories. If we acquire inventories in future acquisitions, we will be required to assess their fair values, which may result in fair value
adjustments to those inventories.
(3) Represents the amortization of intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisitions. As of May 31, 2011, estimated future
amortization expenses related to intangible assets were as follows (in millions):
Fiscal 2012 ................................................................................. $ 2,275
Fiscal 2013 ................................................................................. 1,902
Fiscal 2014 ................................................................................. 1,554
Fiscal 2015 ................................................................................. 1,155
Fiscal 2016 ................................................................................. 657
Thereafter .................................................................................. 267
Total intangible assets subject to amortization .................................................. 7,810
In-process research and development ............................................................. 50
Total intangible assets, net ................................................................. $ 7,860
(4) Acquisition related and other expenses primarily consist of personnel related costs for transitional and certain other employees, stock-
based compensation expenses, integration related professional services, certain business combination adjustments after the measurement
period or purchase price allocation period has ended, and certain other operating expenses, net.
(5) Substantially all restructuring expenses during fiscal 2011 relate to employee severance, facility exit costs and contract termination costs
in connection with our Sun Restructuring Plan. Restructuring expenses during fiscal 2010 primarily relate to costs incurred pursuant to
our Fiscal 2009 Oracle Restructuring Plan and Sun Restructuring Plan. Additional information regarding certain of our restructuring
plans is provided in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
(6) Stock-based compensation is included in the following operating expense line items of our consolidated statements of operations (in
millions):
Year Ended May 31,
2011 2010 2009
Sales and marketing .............................................. $ 87 $ 81 $ 67
Software license updates and product support .......................... 14 17 13

Research and development ......................................... 231 172 155
General and administrative ......................................... 145 132 93

Acquisition related and other ....................................... 10 15 15
Total stock-based compensation ................................. $ 510 $ 436 $ 355
Stock-based compensation included in acquisition related and other expenses resulted from unvested stock options and restricted stock-
based awards assumed from acquisitions whose vesting was accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the terms of those
options and restricted stock-based awards.
(7) The income tax effects presented were calculated as if the above described charges were not included in our results of operations for each
of the respective periods presented. Income tax effects were calculated based on the applicable jurisdictional tax rates applied to the items
within the table above and resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.3% for fiscal 2011 instead of 25.1%, which represented our effective tax
rate as derived per our consolidated statement of operations, primarily due to differences in jurisdictional tax rates, the related tax
benefits attributable to our restructuring expenses and the income tax effects related to our acquired tax exposures. Income tax effects
were calculated reflecting an effective tax rate of 27.1% for fiscal 2010 instead of 25.6%, which represented our effective tax rate as
derived per our consolidated statement of operations, due to similar reasons as those noted for the fiscal 2011 differences. Income tax
effects were calculated reflecting an effective tax rate of 28.7% for fiscal 2009 instead of 28.6%, which represented our effective tax rate
as derived per our consolidated statement of operations, due to the exclusion of the tax effect of an adjustment to our non-current
deferred tax liability associated with acquired intangible assets.
