Report of Ireland San Filippo, LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the participants and Plan Committee of the
Oracle Corporation 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Oracle Corporation 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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, 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was 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, 2004, 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, 2004
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 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 Oracle. 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), as amended.
The Plan is administered by the 401(k) Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors or Senior Vice President, Human Resources. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. is a fiduciary of the Plan and also serves 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 Oracle and its subsidiaries that have adopted the Plan are eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first or any succeeding entry date next following the date the employee is credited with one hour of service with Oracle. However, the following employees or the 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 Oracle; (iii) employees employed in third-party temporary status; (iv) employees of employment agencies; (v) persons who are not classified as employees for tax purposes.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute up to 40% of their eligible compensation as defined by the Plan document plus the amount of unused flex credits. Annual participant contribution amounts are limited to $13,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 ($16,000 for participants 50 years old and older), as determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Oracle 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. Oracle 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.
Investment Options
Participants direct the investment of their contributions and Oracle contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers investments in Oracle’s common stock, mutual funds, and Brokerage Link. Brokerage Link balances consist of the mutual funds offered by the Plan, as well as mutual funds offered by other registered investment companies, common stock or other investment products.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s and Oracle’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 Oracle 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.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Vesting (continued)
Participants forfeit the nonvested portion of their accounts in the Plan upon termination of employment with Oracle. Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts may be used in Oracle’s discretion, as outlined in the Plan, to reduce its matching contribution obligations. The amounts of unallocated forfeitures at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $1,840,434 and $11,217,686, respectively. In 2004, Oracle used $10,950,191 of forfeitures to offset Oracle 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 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) Committee. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans are due in full within 60 days of termination with Oracle.
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, ($1,000 or less as of March 28, 2005), the amount is distributed in a lump sum. Distributions of investments in Oracle’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 Oracle, except for fees related to administration of participant loans and Brokerage Link, which are deducted from the participants’ applicable accounts.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Oracle 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 Oracle’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.
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 the 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, 2004, 4,391,343 units were outstanding with a value of $95.73 per unit. At December 31, 2003, 4,633,196 units were outstanding with a value of $92.12 per unit.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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. The Plan’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance of investments is limited to the carrying value of such 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, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:
| December 31, | ||||||

3. Investments (continued)

| Limited partnership |

| Preferred stock |

| $ | 122,040,981 | |||
4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, dated August 1, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The 401(k) Committee believes the Plan 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.
5. Party-in-Interest Transactions
Transactions in shares of Oracle common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions under the provisions of ERISA. During 2004, the Plan made purchases of approximately $34,313,828 and sales of approximately $46,137,157 of Oracle common stock. In addition, the Plan made in-kind transfers of Oracle common stock to participants of approximately $10,521,192 during 2004.
