REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
salesforce.com, inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of salesforce.com, inc. as of January 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2008. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and schedule 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 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 salesforce.com,
inc. at January 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31,
2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal 2007 salesforce.com, inc. changed its method of accounting for stock-based
compensation in accordance with guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment." As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal 2008, salesforce.com, inc. adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation
No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109."
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), salesforce.com, inc.'s
internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
