<table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="4%" valign="top" align="left">1.</td> <td align="left" valign="top">RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITED AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES </td> </tr> </table> Research In Motion Limited (“RIM” or the “Company”) is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile communications market. Through the development of integrated hardware, software and services that support multiple wireless network standards, RIM provides platforms and solutions for seamless access to information, including email, voice, instant messaging, short message service (SMS), Internet and intranet-based applications and browsing. RIM technology also enables a broad array of third party developers and manufacturers to enhance their products and services through software development kits, wireless connectivity to data and third-party support programs. RIM’s portfolio of award-winning products, services and embedded technologies are used by thousands of organizations and millions of consumers around the world and include the BlackBerry® wireless solution, the RIM Wireless Handheld™ product line, the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet, software development tools and other software and hardware. The Company’s sales and marketing efforts include collaboration with strategic partners and distribution channels, as well as its own supporting sales and marketing teams, to promote the sale of its products and services. The Company was incorporated on March 7, 1984 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. The Company’s shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “RIM” and on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “RIMM”. Basis of presentation and preparation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries of the Company with intercompany transactions and balances eliminated on consolidation. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are wholly-owned. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) on a basis consistent for all periods presented except as described in note 2. Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company’s fiscal year end date is the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the last Saturday of February, or the first Saturday of March. The fiscal year ended March 3, 2012 comprises 53 weeks and the fiscal years ended February 26, 2011 and February 27, 2010 comprise 52 weeks. The significant accounting policies used in these U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements are as follows: Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of reserves for various litigation claims, provisions for excess and obsolete inventories and liabilities for purchase commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers, fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, royalties, amortization expense, implied fair value of goodwill, provision for income taxes, realization of deferred income tax assets and the related components of the valuation allowance, provisions for warranty and the fair values of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.   Foreign currency translation The U.S. dollar is the functional and reporting currency of the Company. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities of the Company and all of its subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date and revenues and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Remeasurement adjustments are included in income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks and liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Accounts receivable, net The accounts receivable balance which reflects invoiced and accrued revenue is presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects estimates of probable losses in accounts receivables. The Company is dependent on a number of significant customers and on large complex contracts with respect to sales of the majority of its products, software and services. The Company expects the majority of its accounts receivable balances to continue to come from large customers as it sells the majority of its devices and software products and service relay access through network carriers and resellers rather than directly. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivables based upon a combination of factors on a periodic basis such as specific credit risk of its customers, historical trends and economic circumstances. The Company, in the normal course of business, monitors the financial condition of its customers and reviews the credit history of each new customer. When the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company (such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or material deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, and payment experiences), RIM records a specific bad debt provision to reduce the customer’s related accounts receivable to its estimated net realizable value. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of accounts receivables balances could be further adjusted. The allowance for doubtful accounts as at March 3, 2012 is $16 million (February 26, 2011 - $2 million). While the Company sells its products and services to a variety of customers, there were no customers that comprised more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in fiscal 2012 (February 26, 2011 – two customers comprised 11% each; February 27, 2010 - three customers comprised 20%, 13% and 10% each). Investments The Company’s cash equivalents and investments, other than cost method investments of $37 million (February 26, 2011 - $15 million) and equity method investments of $48 million (February 26, 2011 - $11 million), consisting of money market and other debt securities, are classified as available-for-sale for accounting purposes and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until such investments mature or are sold. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and subsequently reassesses the classification of such investments at each balance sheet date. The Company uses the specific identification method of determining the cost basis in computing realized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments which are recorded in investment income. In the event of a decline in value which is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to fair value with a charge to income. The Company does not exercise significant influence with respect to any of these investments.   Investments with maturities one year or less, as well as any investments that management intends to hold for less than one year, are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities in excess of one year are classified as long-term investments. The Company assesses individual investments in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. The Company makes this assessment by considering available evidence, including changes in general market conditions, specific industry and individual company data, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition, the near-term prospects of the individual investment and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. In the event that a decline in the fair value of an investment occurs and the decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in investment income equal to the difference between the cost basis and the fair value of the individual investment at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment was made. The fair value of the investment then becomes the new cost basis of the investment. If a debt security’s market value is below its amortized cost and the Company either intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Company records an other-than-temporary impairment charge to investment income for the entire amount of the impairment. For other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities that the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Company would separate the other-than-temporary impairment into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The Company would record the other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss as a charge to investment income and the remaining other-than-temporary impairment would be recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Derivative financial instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including forward contracts and options, to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative instruments at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these instruments is calculated based on quoted currency spot rates and interest rates. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the resulting designation. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and subsequently reclassified into income in the same period or periods in which the hedged item affects income. The ineffective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is recognized in current income. In order for the Company to receive hedge accounting treatment, the cash flow hedge must be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item and the relationship between the hedging instrument and the associated hedged item must be formally documented at the inception of the hedge relationship. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, to determine whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the value of the hedged items. The Company formally documents relationships between hedging instruments and associated hedged items. This documentation includes: identification of the specific foreign currency asset, liability or forecasted transaction being hedged; the nature of the risk being hedged; the hedge objective; and the method of assessing hedge effectiveness. If an anticipated transaction is deemed no longer likely to occur, the corresponding derivative instrument is de-designated as a hedge and any associated deferred gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in income at that time. Any future changes in the fair value of the instrument are recognized in current income. The Company did not reclassify any losses from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into income as a result of the de-designation of any derivative instrument as a hedge during fiscal 2012 (fiscal 2011 – nil). For any derivative instruments that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, or for any derivative instruments for which hedge accounting is not elected, the changes in fair value of the instruments are recognized in income in the current period and will generally offset the changes in the U.S. dollar value of the associated asset, liability, or forecasted transaction. Inventories Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Work in process and finished goods inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes the cost of materials plus direct labour applied to the product and the applicable share of manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out basis. Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. No amortization is provided for construction in progress until the assets are ready for use. Amortization is provided using the following rates and methods:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="51%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="2%"> </td> <td width="47%"> </td> </tr>   <tr> <td valign="top"> Buildings, leaseholds and other </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> Straight-line over terms between 5 and 40 years </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> BlackBerry operations and other information technology </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> Straight-line over terms between 3 and 5 years </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Manufacturing equipment, research and development equipment and tooling </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> Straight-line over terms between 2 and 8 years </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Furniture and fixtures </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> Declining balance at 20% per annum </td> </tr>  </table> Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated as at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. These events and circumstances may include a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate, a significant decline in the Company’s share price, an adverse action of assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant disposal activity and the testing of recoverability for a significant asset group. The Company consists of a single reporting unit. The impairment test is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the carrying amount of the reporting unit including goodwill is compared with its fair value. The estimated fair value is determined utilizing a market-based approach, based on the quoted market price of the Company’s stock in an active market, adjusted by an appropriate control premium. When the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered to be impaired, and the second step is necessary.   In the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with its carrying amount to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the value of goodwill is determined in a business combination using the fair value of the reporting unit as if it were the acquisition price. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess and is presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Establishing an implied fair value of goodwill requires the Company to make estimates for key inputs into complex valuation models and to apply significant judgment in the selection of estimates, assumptions and methodologies required to complete the analysis. Areas of judgment include, but are not limited to, development of multi-year business cash flow forecasts, the selection of discount rates and the identification and valuation of unrecorded assets. Intangible assets Intangible assets with definite lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company is currently amortizing its intangible assets with definite lives over periods generally ranging between two to ten years. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. Income taxes The Company uses the liability method of tax allocation to account for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers both positive evidence and negative evidence, to determine whether, based upon the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is required. Judgment is required in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and provisions for income taxes. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are recognized based on a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the tax position that has met the recognition threshold as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provisions, income tax payable and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as interest expense that is netted and reported within investment income. The Company uses the flow-through method to account for investment tax credits (“ITCs”) earned on eligible scientific research and experimental development expenditures. Under this method, the ITCs are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.   Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the product has been delivered or the services have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. In addition to this general policy, the following paragraphs describe the specific revenue recognition policies for each of the Company’s major categories of revenue. Hardware Revenue from the sale of BlackBerry wireless hardware products (e.g. BlackBerry® handheld devices and BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets) is recognized when title has transferred to the customer and all significant contractual obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance have been fulfilled. For hardware products for which the software is deemed essential to the functionality of the hardware, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with general revenue recognition accounting guidance. The Company sells its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet with the right to receive unspecified software upgrade rights on a “when-and-if available” basis. These upgrade rights are related specifically to the product’s essential operating system software. In these instances, the amount allocated to the unspecified software upgrade rights are deferred and recognized rateably over the 24-month estimated life of the tablet. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated commitments related to price protection, right of return and for customer incentive programs. Price protection is accrued as a reduction to revenue based on estimates of price reductions, provided the price reduction can be reliably estimated and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company also records reductions to revenue for a right of return based on contractual terms and conditions and, if the expected product returns can be reasonably and reliably estimated, based on historical experience. Where a general right of return cannot be reasonably and reliably estimated, the Company recognizes revenue when the product sells through the distribution channel. The estimated cost of the customer incentive program is accrued as a reduction to revenue based on historical experience, and is recognized at the later of the date at which the Company has sold the product or the date at which the program is offered. If historical experience cannot support a breakage rate, the maximum rebate amount is deferred and adjusted when incentive programs end. Service Revenue from service is recognized rateably on a monthly basis when the service is provided. In instances where the Company bills the customer prior to performing the service, the prebilling is recorded as deferred revenue. Software Revenue from licensed software is recognized at the inception of the license term and in accordance with industry-specific software revenue recognition accounting guidance. When the fair value of a delivered element has not been established, the Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue if the fair value of undelivered elements is determinable. Revenue from software maintenance, unspecified upgrades and technical support contracts is recognized over the period that such items are delivered or those services are provided.   Other Revenue from the sale of accessories is recognized when title has transferred to the customer and all significant contractual obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance have been fulfilled. Revenue from repair and maintenance programs is recognized when the service is delivered, which is when the title is transferred to the customer and all significant contractual obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance have been fulfilled. Shipping and handling costs Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as revenue, and the Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs that cannot be reasonably attributed to certain customers are included in selling, marketing and administration. Multiple-element arrangements The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of its product and service offerings. The Company’s typical multiple-element arrangements involve: (i) handheld devices with services, (ii) tablets with unspecified software upgrades on a when-and-if available basis and (iii) software with technical support services. For the Company’s arrangements involving multiple deliverables of handheld devices with services, the consideration from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative selling price, using vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”). In certain limited instances when the Company is unable to establish the selling price using VSOE, the Company attempts to establish the selling price of each element based on acceptable third party evidence of selling price (“TPE”); however, the Company is generally unable to reliably determine the selling prices of similar competitor products and services on a stand-alone basis. In these instances, the Company uses best estimated selling price (“BESP”) in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service was sold on a stand-alone basis. The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet includes the right to receive free unspecified software upgrade rights on a when-and-if available basis. This upgrade right to the product’s embedded operating system software is considered an undelivered element at the time of sale of the tablet and falls within the general revenue recognition guidance. The consideration from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative selling price. As the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or the upgrade right are not sold on a standalone basis and no TPE exists for these deliverables, the allocation of revenue is based on the Company’s BESP’s. The consideration for the delivered hardware and the related essential software operating system are recognized at the time of sale provided that the four revenue recognition criteria have been met. The consideration allocated to the unspecified software upgrade rights is deferred and recognized rateably over the 24-month estimated life of the tablets. For arrangements involving multiple deliverables of software with technical support services, the revenue is recognized based on the industry-specific software revenue recognition accounting guidance. If the Company is not able to determine VSOE for all of the deliverables of the arrangement, but is able to obtain VSOE for all undelivered elements, revenue is allocated using the residual method. Under the residual method, the amount of revenue allocated to delivered elements equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of any undelivered elements. If VSOE of any undelivered software items does not exist, revenue from the entire arrangement is initially deferred and recognized at the earlier of: (i) delivery of those elements for which VSOE did not exist; or (ii) when VSOE can be established.   The Company determines BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives and pricing practices. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and formal approval by, the Company’s management, taking into consideration the Company’s marketing strategy. The Company regularly reviews VSOE, TPE and BESP, and maintains internal controls over the establishment and updates of these estimates. Based on the above factors, the Company’s BESP for the unspecified software upgrade right is $6 per BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Research and development Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs for BlackBerry devices and licensed software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. The Company’s products are generally released soon after technological feasibility has been established and therefore costs incurred subsequent to achievement of technological feasibility are not significant and have been expensed as incurred. Comprehensive income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in net assets of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s reportable items of comprehensive income are cash flow hedges as described in note 14 and changes in the fair value of available-for-sale investments as described in note 5. Realized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are reclassified into investment income using the specific identification basis. Earnings per share Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of the dilutive effect of stock options. Stock-based compensation plans The Company has stock-based compensation plans, which are described in note 9(b). The Company has an incentive stock option plan for officers and employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the plan, as revised in fiscal 2008, no stock options may be granted to independent directors. The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model and is recognized rateably over the vesting period. The BSM model requires various judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected option life. In addition, judgment is also applied in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited, and if actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations would be impacted. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options plus any recorded stock-based compensation within additional paid-in capital related to that stock option is credited to capital stock. The Company has a Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”) under which eligible participants include any officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries. At the Company’s discretion, Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) are redeemed for either common shares issued by the Company, common shares purchased on the open market by a trustee selected by the Company or the cash equivalent on the vesting dates established by the Board of Directors or the Compensation, Nomination and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. The RSUs vest over a three-year period, either on the third anniversary date or in equal instalments on each anniversary date over the vesting period. The Company classifies RSUs as equity instruments as the Company has the ability and intent to settle the awards in shares. The compensation expense is calculated based on the fair value of each RSU as determined by the closing value of the Company’s common shares on the business day of the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the RSU. Upon issuance of the RSU, common shares for which RSUs may be exchanged will be purchased on the open market by a trustee selected and funded by the Company. The trustee has been appointed to settle the Company’s obligation to deliver shares to individuals upon vesting. In addition, upon vesting, the trustee is required to sell enough shares to cover the individual recipient’s minimum statutory withholding tax requirement, with the remaining shares delivered to the individual. As the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the trust, the trust is considered a variable interest entity and is consolidated by the Company. The Company has a Deferred Share Unit Plan (the “DSU Plan”), adopted by the Board of Directors on December 20, 2007, under which each independent director will be credited with Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) in satisfaction of all or a portion of the cash fees otherwise payable to them for serving as a director of the Company. Grants under the DSU plan replace the stock option awards that were historically granted to independent members of the Board of Directors. At a minimum, 60% of each independent director’s annual retainer will be satisfied in the form of DSUs. The director can elect to receive the remaining 40% in any combination of cash and DSUs. Within a specified period after such a director ceases to be a director, DSUs will be redeemed for cash with the redemption value of each DSU equal to the weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares over the five trading days preceding the redemption date. Alternatively, subject to receipt of shareholder approval, the Company may elect to redeem DSUs by way of shares purchased on the open market or issued by the Company. DSUs are accounted for as liability-classified awards and are awarded on a quarterly basis. These awards are measured at their fair value on the date of issuance, and remeasured at each reporting period, until settlement. Warranty The Company provides for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. BlackBerry devices are generally covered by a time-limited warranty for varying periods of time. The Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, differences in warranty periods, regulatory developments with respect to warranty obligations in the countries in which the Company carries on business, freight expense, and material usage and other related repair costs. The Company’s estimates of costs are based upon historical experience and expectations of future return rates and unit warranty repair costs. If the Company experiences increased or decreased warranty activity, or increased or decreased costs associated with servicing those obligations, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be recognized in the reporting period when such revisions are made. Advertising costs The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. These costs are included in selling, marketing and administration.

This new authoritative guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company partially adopted the authoritative guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company adopted the remaining portion of the authoritative guidance requiring separate disclosure on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or the Company’s disclosures.     <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="4%" valign="top" align="left">3.</td> <td align="left" valign="top">RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS </td> </tr> </table> In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The most significant amendment in this update is the option of a qualitative test for impairment, by providing entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (as defined as likelihood greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. An entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the two step test and may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial condition and disclosures. In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which is expected to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting as well as increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance amends previous literature by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, among other amendments. The guidance now provides entities with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued an update to defer the requirement for entities to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The new authoritative guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial condition and disclosures. In May 2011, the FASB, as a result of work performed with the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), issued authoritative guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The guidance is expected to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance presents certain amendments to clarify existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements such as clarifying the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity and clarifying that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurements that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Furthermore, the guidance amends previous literature by requiring additional disclosures about fair value measurements, specifically requesting more information about the valuation processes used for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as well as presenting sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs in Level 3 valuations. The guidance also amends previous literature around measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio as well as the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial condition and disclosures.

and February 26, 2011, the Company had no investments with continuous unrealized losses. The Company engages in securities lending to generate fee income. Collateral, which exceeds the market value of the loaned securities, is retained by the Company until the underlying security has been returned to the Company. As at March 3, 2012, the company had no securities on loan. During fiscal 2011, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge on its auction rate securities in the amount of $6 million as a result of the lack of continuing liquidity in these securities. In valuing these securities, the Company used a multi-year investment horizon and considered the underlying risk of the securities and the current market interest rate environment. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until such time that market liquidity returns to normal levels, and does not consider the principal or interest amounts on these securities to be materially at risk. The Company has not recorded any additional impairment on its auction rate securities as of March 3, 2012. As there is uncertainty as to when market liquidity for auction rate securities will return to normal, the Company has classified the auction rate securities as long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet as at March 3, 2012. During fiscal 2011, the Company also recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $11 million against a portion of its claim on Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBIE”) trust assets. These assets are represented by principal and interest payments from matured investments that were originally held at LBIE at the time of bankruptcy. The Company has classified $25 million of these holdings as other investments on the consolidated balance sheet as at March 3, 2012 and February 26, 2011. Previously, these holdings were classified as bank balances on the consolidated balance sheet as at February 27, 2010. The Company has not recorded any additional impairment on its claim of trust assets as of March 3, 2012. The classification change is represented in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended February 26, 2011 as an acquisition of long-term investments.

<table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="4%" valign="top" align="left">5.</td> <td align="left" valign="top">FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS </td> </tr> </table> The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability such as inherent risk, non-performance risk and credit risk. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value into three levels:   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. </td> </tr> </table> The fair value hierarchy also requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. In determining the fair value of investments held, the Company primarily relies on an independent third party valuator for the fair valuation of securities. Pricing inputs used by the independent third party valuator are generally received from two primary vendors. The pricing inputs are reviewed for completeness and accuracy, within a set tolerance level, on a daily basis by the third party valuator. The Company also reviews and understands the inputs used in the valuation process and assesses the pricing of the securities for reasonableness. The fair values of money market funds were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For bankers acceptances, non-U.S. government promissory notes, term deposits/certificates and commercial paper, the independent third party utilizes amortized cost as the short-term nature of the securities approximates fair value. For non-U.S. treasury bills/notes, U.S. treasury bills/notes, U.S. government sponsored enterprise notes, non-U.S. government sponsored enterprise notes, corporate notes/bonds (other than those classified as Level 3), and asset-backed securities, the independent third party provides fair values determined from quoted prices that it obtains from vendors. The Company then corroborates the fair values received from the independent third party against the results of its internal valuation in order to corroborate the pricing provided by the independent third party. The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for bankers acceptances by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities, or the market prices of similar securities adjusted for observable inputs such as differences in maturity dates, interest rates, and credit ratings. The bankers acceptances held by the Company are all issued by major banking organizations and all have investment grade ratings.   The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for term deposits/certificates by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities, or the market prices of similar securities adjusted for observable inputs such as differences in maturity dates, interest rates and credit ratings. The term deposits/certificates held by the Company are all issued by major banking organizations and all have investment grade ratings. The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for commercial paper by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities, or the market prices of similar securities adjusted for observable inputs such as differences in maturity dates, interest rates, dealer placed rates and credit ratings. The commercial paper held by the Company are all issued by major financing, corporate or capital organizations and all have investment grade ratings. The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for non-U.S. treasury bills/notes by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities, or the market prices of similar securities adjusted for observable inputs such as differences in maturity dates, interest rates and credit rating. All non-U.S. treasury bills/notes held by the Company are issued by the Federal and/or Provincial Governments of Canada and all have investment grade ratings. The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for U.S. treasury bills/notes by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities as provided by U.S. government bond dealers. All U.S. treasury bills/notes held by the Company are issued by the United States Department of the Treasury and all have investment grade ratings. The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for U.S. government sponsored enterprise notes by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities as provided by U.S. government bond dealers or prices as provided by the published index of U.S. Agency securities. The U.S. government sponsored enterprise notes held by the Company are primarily agency notes and collateralized mortgage obligations issued and backed by government organizations such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and all have investment grade ratings. The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for non-U.S. government sponsored enterprise notes by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities, or the market prices of similar securities adjusted for observable inputs such as differences in maturity dates, interest rates and credit ratings. The non-U.S. government sponsored enterprise notes held by the Company are primarily issued by investment banks backed by European or Latin American countries and all have investment grade ratings. The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for corporate notes/bonds (other than those classified as Level 3) by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities, or the market prices of similar securities adjusted for observable inputs such as differences in maturity dates, interest rates, yield curves, swap rates, credit ratings, industry comparable trades and spread history. The corporate notes/bonds held by the Company are all issued by major corporate organizations and all have investment grade ratings.   The Company corroborates the fair values provided by the independent third party for asset-backed securities by comparing those provided against fair values determined by the Company utilizing quoted prices from vendors for identical securities, or the market prices of similar securities adjusted for different observable inputs such as differences in swap rates and spreads, credit ratings, pricing changes relative to asset class, priority in capital structure, principal payment windows, and maturity dates. All asset-backed securities held by the Company are issued by government or consumer agencies and are primarily backed by commercial automobile and equipment loans and leases. All asset-backed securities held by the Company have investment grade ratings. Fair values for all investment categories provided by the independent third party that are in excess of 0.5% from the fair values determined by the Company are communicated to the third party for consideration of reasonableness. The independent third party considers the information provided by the Company before determining whether a change in the original pricing is warranted. The fair values of corporate notes/bonds classified as Level 3, which represent investments in securities for which there is not an active market, are estimated via cash flow pricing methodology using unobservable inputs such as actual monthly interest and principal payments received, maturity rates of holdings, historical prices realized on sales, defaults experienced, maturity extension risk, pricing for similar securities, collateral value, and recovery value for similar securities. The corporate notes/bonds classified as Level 3 held by the Company consist of securities received in a payment-in-kind distribution from a former structured investment vehicle. The fair value of auction rate securities is estimated using a discounted cash flow model incorporating maturity dates, contractual terms and assumptions concerning liquidity and credit adjustments of the security sponsor to determine timing and amount of future cash flows. The fair value includes an impairment charge of $6 million recognized in fiscal 2011 as discussed in note 4. The fair value of other investments is represented by the trust claim on LBIE bankruptcy assets and is estimated using unobservable inputs such as estimated recovery values and prices observed on market activity for similar LBIE bankruptcy claims. The fair value includes an impairment charge of $11 million recognized in fiscal 2011 as discussed in note 4. The fair value of currency forward contracts and currency option contracts has been determined using notional and exercise values, transaction rates, market quoted currency spot rates, forward points and interest rate yield curves. For currency forward contracts and currency option contracts, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. Changes in assumptions could have a significant effect on the estimates.   The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

</table> During fiscal 2012, the additions to intangible assets primarily consisted of payments relating to amended or renewed licensing agreements, patent license agreements including those relating to 3G and 4G technologies, a patent license agreement with IV International, as well as agreements with third parties for the use of intellectual property, software, messaging services and other BlackBerry related features, as well as intangible assets associated with the business acquisitions discussed in note 7. During fiscal 2012, a consortium of certain technology companies, of which the Company is a part, emerged as the winning bidder for all of Nortel’s remaining patents and patent applications for a cash purchase price of $4.5 billion. The Company’s portion of the purchase consideration is approximately $775 million. The purchase includes more than 6,000 patents and patent applications spanning wireless, wireless 4G, data networking, voice, internet and other patents. The majority of the Company’s portion of the purchase consideration was recorded as intangible assets as at March 3, 2012. For the year ended March 3, 2012, amortization expense related to intangible assets was $863 million (February 26, 2011 - $430 million; February 27, 2010 - $271 million). Total additions to intangible assets in fiscal 2012 were $2.4 billion (2011 - $906 million).   Based on the carrying value of the identified intangible assets as at March 3, 2012 and assuming no subsequent impairment of the underlying assets, the annual amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is expected to be as follows: 2013 - $1.3 billion; 2014 - $447 million; 2015 - $331 million; 2016 - $263 million; and 2017 - $217 million.

These events and circumstances may include a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate, a significant decline in the Company’s share price, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant disposal activity and the testing of recoverability for a significant asset group. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step involves comparing the Company’s estimated fair value to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment and the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the impairment amount. The second step involves determining an implied fair value of goodwill for the Company, which is calculated by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the Company over the aggregated estimated fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities. The conduct of the second step involves significant judgment on the selection of assumptions necessary to arrive at an implied fair value of goodwill. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, development of multi-year business cash flow forecasts, the selection of discount rates and the identification and valuation of unrecorded assets. If, after conducting the second step of the test, the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, a non-cash impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. During the fourth quarter ended March 3, 2012, the Company performed the first step of the annual impairment test. The estimated fair value of the Company was determined utilizing a market-based approach and the Company’s market capitalization was used as a key input for the determination of fair value of the Company. The Company’s market capitalization was determined by multiplying the number of shares outstanding as at March 3, 2012 by the average closing market price of the Company’s common shares over the preceding 5-day period. The Company used this duration in order to incorporate the inherent market fluctuations that may affect any individual closing price of the Company’s shares. The Company believes that market capitalization alone does not capture the fair value of the business as a whole, or the substantial value that an acquirer would obtain from its ability to obtain control of the business. Consequently, the Company developed an estimate for the control premium that a marketplace participant might pay to acquire control of the business in an arms-length transaction. The determination of the control premium requires significant judgment and the Company observed recent market transactions as a guide to establish a range of reasonably possible control premiums to estimate the Company’s fair value. The Company believes that the main factor leading to the impairment was a significant decline in its share price. The result of this analysis concluded that the carrying value of the Company exceeded its estimated fair value as at the balance sheet date, and as such, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was performed. In the second step of the impairment test, the impairment loss was measured by estimating the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill and comparing it with its carrying value. Using the Company’s fair value determined in the first step as the acquisition price in a hypothetical acquisition of the Company, the implied fair value of goodwill was calculated as the residual amount of the acquisition price after allocations made to the fair value of net assets, including working capital, plant and equipment and both recognized and unrecognized intangible assets. Based on the results of the second step of the goodwill impairment test, it was concluded that the carrying value of goodwill was impaired. Consequently, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $355 million and reported this amount as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

than not that it can realize its deferred income tax assets. Accordingly, no valuation allowance is required on its deferred income tax assets as at March 3, 2012 (February 26, 2011 - nil). The Company will continue to evaluate and examine the valuation allowance on a regular basis, and when required, the valuation allowance may be adjusted. The Company has not provided for Canadian deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes that would apply on the distribution of the income of its non-Canadian subsidiaries, as this income is intended to be reinvested indefinitely. The Company’s total unrecognized income tax benefits as at March 3, 2012 and February 26, 2011 were $146 million and $164 million, respectively.

The Company regularly assesses the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income taxes. The Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) recently concluded its examination of the Company’s fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2009 Canadian corporate tax filings. Although the audit concluded with no material adjustments to income taxes payable, there remains uncertainty with respect to certain tax attributes that have resulted from the restructuring of RIM’s international operations. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $142 million of its gross unrecognized income tax benefit will decrease in the next twelve months, the majority of which relates to the tax attributes resulting from the restructuring of RIM’s international operations. The Company has other non-Canadian income tax audits pending. While the final resolution of these audits is uncertain, the Company believes the ultimate resolution of these audits will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.   The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits as interest expense that is netted and reported within investment income.

any time after July 10, 2011 to purchase for cancellation through the facilities of the NASDAQ Stock Market or, subject to regulatory approval, by way of private agreement up to 5% of RIM’s outstanding common shares (representing approximately 26 million common shares as of the date hereof). The share repurchase program will remain in place for up to 12 months or until the purchases are completed or the program is terminated by RIM. No common shares have been repurchased under this program to date. The price that the Company will pay for any shares purchased over NASDAQ will be the prevailing market price at the time of purchase. The share repurchase program will be effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which contains restrictions on the number of shares that may be purchased on a single day, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, based on the average daily trading volumes of the Company’s shares on NASDAQ. Any purchases made by way of private agreement may be at a discount to the prevailing market price at the time of purchase, and would be subject to regulatory approval. The Company had 524 million voting common shares outstanding, options to purchase 4 million voting common shares, 8 million RSUs and 0.1 million DSUs outstanding as at April 4, 2012.   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="4%" valign="top" align="left">(b)</td> <td align="left" valign="top">Stock-based compensation </td> </tr> </table> Stock Option Plan The Company recorded a charge to income and a credit to paid-in-capital of approximately $27 million in fiscal 2012 (fiscal 2011 - $31 million; fiscal 2010 - $37 million) in relation to stock-based compensation expense. The Company has presented excess tax benefits (deficiencies) from the exercise of stock-based compensation awards as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Stock options granted under the plan generally vest over a period of five years and are generally exercisable over a period of six years to a maximum of ten years from the grant date. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option exercises. There are 15 million stock options available for future grants under the stock option plan as at March 3, 2012. As part of a settlement agreement reached with the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”), on February 5, 2009, Messrs. Balsillie, Lazaridis and Kavelman agreed to contribute, in aggregate, a total of approximately CAD $83 million to RIM, consisting of (i) a total of CAD $38 million to RIM in respect of the outstanding benefit arising from incorrectly priced stock options granted to all RIM employees from 1996 to 2006, and (ii) a total of CAD $45 million to RIM (CAD $15 million of which had previously been paid) to defray costs incurred by RIM in the investigation and remediation of stock options, granting practices and related governance practices at RIM. These contributions are being made through Messrs. Balsillie, Lazaridis and Kavelman undertaking not to exercise certain vested RIM options to acquire an aggregate of 1,160,129 common shares of RIM. These options had a fair value equal to the aggregate contribution amounts determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton calculation based on the last trading day prior to the day the OSC issued a notice of hearing in respect of the matters giving rise to the settlement. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, options to acquire an aggregate of 758,837 common shares of RIM, and in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, options to acquire an aggregate of 391,292 common shares of RIM, expired in satisfaction of the undertakings not to exercise options. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the remaining 10,000 options expired in satisfaction of the undertakings not to exercise options effectively completing the contributions required as part of the settlement agreement reached with the OSC.   A summary of option activity since February 28, 2009 is shown below:     <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0"

In addition, the Company estimated the volatility of its common shares at the date of grant based on a combination of the implied volatility of publicly traded options on its common shares, and historical volatility, as the Company believes that this was a better indicator of expected volatility going forward. Finally, the expected life of stock options granted under the plan was based on historical exercise patterns, which the Company believes were representative of future exercise patterns.

Such intellectual property infringement indemnification clauses are generally not subject to any dollar limits and remain in effect for the term of our agreements. To date, the Company has not encountered material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, the Company agreed, subject to applicable law, to indemnify its directors and executive officers against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such individuals in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action which could arise by reason of their status as directors or officers. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage for the benefit of its directors and executive officers to reduce its exposure to such obligations. The Company has not encountered material costs as a result of such indemnifications in the current year.

The Company may be subject to claims (including claims related to patent infringement, purported class actions and derivative actions) either directly or through indemnities against these claims that it provides to certain of its partners. In particular, the industry in which the Company competes has many participants that own, or claim to own, intellectual property, including participants that have been issued patents and may have filed patent applications or may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights for technologies similar to those used by the Company in its products. The Company has received, and may receive in the future, assertions and claims from third parties that the Company’s products infringe on their patents or other intellectual property rights. Litigation has been and will likely continue to be necessary to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish the Company’s proprietary rights. Regardless of whether litigation against the Company has merit, those claims could be time-consuming to evaluate and defend, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, subject the Company to significant liabilities and could have the other effects that are described in greater detail under “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Intellectual Property” and “Risk Factors - Risks Related to the Company’s Business and its Industry - The Company is subject to general commercial litigation and other litigation claims as part of its operations, and it could suffer significant litigation expenses in defending these claims and could be subject to significant damage awards or other remedies” in RIM’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012, which is included in RIM’s Annual Report on Form 40-F. Management reviews all of the relevant facts for each claim and applies judgment in evaluating the likelihood and, if applicable, the amount of any potential loss. Where it is considered probable for a material exposure to result and where the amount of the claim is quantifiable, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the likely outcome. The Company does not provide for claims that are considered unlikely to result in a significant loss, claims for which the outcome is not determinable or claims where the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated. Any settlements or awards under such claims are provided for when reasonably determinable. Additional lawsuits and claims, including purported class actions and derivative actions, may be filed or made based upon the Company’s historical stock option granting practices. Management assesses such claims and where considered likely to result in a material exposure and, where the amount of the claim is quantifiable, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the likely outcome. The Company does not provide for claims that are considered unlikely to result in a significant loss, claims for which the outcome is not determinable or claims where the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated. Any settlements or awards under such claims are provided for when reasonably determinable.

The realignment is focused on eliminating redundancies and reallocating resources to enable the Company to focus on areas that offer the highest growth opportunities and align with the Company’s strategic objectives, such as accelerating new product introductions. The Company believes that a more efficient cost structure will better enable it to respond to new market opportunities and changes in the competitive environment. On July 25, 2011, the Company announced that it would be reducing its global workforce across all functions by approximately 2,000 employees, and that all impacted employees will receive severance packages and outplacement support. The Company incurred approximately $125 million in total pre-tax charges related to the Cost Optimization Program in fiscal 2012. Substantially all of the pre-tax charges are one-time employee termination benefits and the identification of redundant facilities. As of the end of the fiscal year 2012, the Cost Optimization Program, which was focused on headcount reductions and facilities redundancies, was substantially complete. The Company will continue to make any remaining payments for employee termination benefits during fiscal 2013. The payments for charges relating to redundant facilities will continue to be made until the end of the term of the facilities leases.

The Company’s risk management objective in holding derivative instruments is to reduce the volatility of current and future income as a result of changes in foreign currency. To limit its exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company enters into foreign currency forward and option contracts. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The majority of the Company’s revenues in fiscal 2012 are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, portions of the revenues are denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros, and British Pounds. Purchases of raw materials are primarily transacted in U.S. dollars. Other expenses, consisting of the majority of salaries, certain operating costs and manufacturing overhead are incurred primarily in Canadian dollars. The Company enters into forward and option contracts to hedge portions of these anticipated transactions to reduce the volatility on income associated with the foreign currency exposures. The Company also enters into forward and option contracts to reduce the effects of foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the revaluation of certain foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. At March 3, 2012 approximately 38% of cash and cash equivalents, 30% of accounts receivables and 11% of accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies (February 26, 2011 – 59%, 25% and 8%). The Company enters into forward and option contracts to hedge exposures relating to foreign currency anticipated transactions. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges, with the effective portion of the change in fair value initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to income in the period in which the cash flows from the associated hedged transactions affect income. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the cash flow hedge is recognized in current period income. For the years ended March 3, 2012 and February 26, 2011, there was $2 million and nil in realized losses on forward contracts which were ineffective upon maturity as the anticipated hedged transactions did not occur. As at March 3, 2012 and February 26, 2011, the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were considered to be fully effective with no resulting portions being designated as ineffective. The maturity dates of these instruments range from March 2012 to September 2013. As at March 3, 2012, the net unrealized gains on these forward and option contracts was $51 million (February 26, 2011 – net unrealized losses of $21 million; February 27, 2010 – net unrealized gains of $62 million). Unrealized gains associated with these contracts were recorded in other current assets and accumulated other comprehensive income. Unrealized losses were recorded in accrued liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income. In fiscal 2013, $46 million of net unrealized gains on these derivative contracts will be reclassified to income.
