Report of Independent Auditors

 

 

To the participants and Plan Administrative Committee of the

    Oracle Corporation 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan

 

 

 

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Oracle Corporation 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2002, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements, taken as a whole.

401(k) Savings and Investment Plan

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2002

 

1. Description of the Plan

 

The following description of the Oracle Corporation 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

Oracle Corporation (the Company) established the Plan, effective January 1, 1986, as a defined contribution plan. The Plan was established for the purpose of providing retirement benefits for the employees of the Company. The Plan is intended to qualify as a profit sharing plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) with a salary reduction feature qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

 

The Plan is administered by the 401(k) Benefits Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors or Chief Financial Officer. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. is used as the recordkeeper to maintain the individual accounts of each Plan participant.

 

Eligibility

 

All employees regularly scheduled to work a minimum of 20 hours per week or 1,000 hours in a Plan year on the domestic payroll of the Company and its subsidiaries that have adopted the Plan are eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first day of each calendar month following completion of one hour of service with the Company. However, the following employees or classes of employees are not eligible to participate: (i) employees whose compensation and conditions of employment are subject to determination by collective bargaining; (ii) employees who are non-resident aliens and who received no earned income from the Company; (iii) employees employed in third-party temporary status; (iv) employees of employment agencies; and (v) persons who are not classified as employees for tax purposes.

 

Contributions

 

Each year, participants may contribute up to 20% of their eligible compensation, as defined by the Plan document, plus the amount of any unused flex credits. Annual participant contribution amounts are limited to $11,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 ($12,000 for participants 50 years old and older), as determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Company matches 50% of an active participant’s salary deferrals up to a maximum deferral of 6% of compensation for the pay period, with maximum aggregate matching of $5,100 in any calendar year. The Company has the right, under the Plan, to discontinue or modify its matching contributions at any time. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

 

Investment Options

 

Participants direct the investment of their contributions and the Company’s contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers investments in the Company’s common stock, mutual funds, and Brokerage Link. Brokerage Link balances consist of mutual fund options offered by the Plan, as well as other registered investment companies or common stock.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s and Company’s contributions and allocations of plan earnings. All amounts in participant accounts are participant-directed.

 

Vesting

 

All elective contributions made by participants and earnings on those contributions are 100% vested at all times. Participants’ vesting in Company matching contributions is based on years of service. Participants are 25% vested after one year of service, and vest an additional 25% each year, becoming 100% vested after four years of service.

 

Participants forfeit the nonvested portion of their accounts in the Plan upon termination of employment with the Company. Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts may be used in the Company’s discretion to reduce its matching contribution obligations for the Plan year in which the forfeiture arose or in the succeeding Plan years or to correct misallocations due to administrative error. The amounts of unallocated forfeitures related to the nonvested accounts at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $9,702,981 and $7,438,584, respectively. In 2002, the Company used $2,983 of forfeitures to offset Company matching contributions.

 

Participant Loans

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Loan terms may not exceed five years unless the loan is used to purchase a participant’s principal residence, in which case the repayment terms may not exceed ten years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing lending rates determined by the 401(k) Benefits Committee. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Upon termination of service, death, disability, or normal or early retirement, participants may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of their account or may waive receipt of a lump-sum benefit and elect to receive monthly installments. If the participant’s account is valued at $5,000 or less, the amount is distributed in a lump sum. Distributions of investments in the Company’s common stock may be taken in the form of common stock. Hardship withdrawals are permitted if certain criteria are met.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

Administrative expenses are borne by the Company, except for fees related to administration of participant loans and Brokerage Link, which are deducted from the participants’ applicable accounts.

 

Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right, under the Plan, to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices. Investments in common/collective trusts are valued based upon the quoted redemption value of units at year-end. The money market funds are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Common stocks, including the Company’s common stock, are traded on a national securities exchange and are valued at the last reported sales price on the last day of the Plan year. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition (continued)

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

The Oracle Stock Fund (the Fund) is tracked on a unitized basis. The Fund consists of Oracle common stock and Fidelity Institutional Money Market Fund sufficient to meet the Fund’s daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of Oracle common stock and the cash investments held by the Fund. At December 31, 2002, 4,723,680 units were outstanding with a value of $75.56 per unit (4,624,267 units were outstanding with a value of $96.24 per unit at December 31, 2001).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan provides for various investment options in common stock, registered investment companies (mutual funds), and short-term investments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and participant account balances.

 

3. Investments

 

The fair values of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

4. Income Tax Status

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, dated May 4, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to the issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended and restated. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The 401(k) Benefits Committee believes the Plan, as amended and restated, is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
