INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

We have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by the SAP AG, Walldorf, comprising the balance sheet, the income statement, cash flow statement, statement of comprehensive income and the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the business year from January 1 to December 31, 2008. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are the responsibility of the parent company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. In addition we have been engaged to express an opinion as to whether the voluntarily prepared group management report is in agreement with the group management report of SAP AG, Walldorf, prepared in accordance with § 290 and § 315 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch – „German Commercial Code“] apart from appropriate incorporation of U.S. GAAP financial data.

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with § 317 HGB, German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) as well as in compliance with Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAS). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the group management report are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the annual financial statements of those entities included in consolidation, the determination of entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit has not led to any reservations.

In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with U.S. GAAP and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group in accordance with these requirements. The voluntarily prepared group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is, apart from appropriate incorporation of U.S. GAAP financial data, in agreement with the group management report of SAP AG prepared in accordance with § 290 and § 315 HGB, on which we have issued an unqualified statutory audit opinion. Based on this the group management report as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group’s position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development.
