 Notes:

    1) Represents elimination of intercompany sales of Electronic Arts
        packaged goods products to EA.com, and represents elimination
        of royalties paid to Electronic Arts by EA.com for
        intellectual property rights. In addition, Carriage Fee is
        reclassified to Marketing, and CRMD and Network Development
        are reclassified to Product Development.

    2) EA Core maintains approximately 85% retained interest in EA.com
        and is reflected in the Net income (loss) - GAAP for EA Core.
        The pro forma statements exclude the retained interest
        allocation.

    3) The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was allocated
        between EA Core and EA.com at the worldwide effective tax rate
        (31%) based on each segments' pro rata share of income or
        loss. The sum of tax provision (benefit) for EA Core and
        EA.com is the same as consolidated tax provision.

    4) Due to the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2001,
        stock options have been excluded from the Diluted EPS
        calculation as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
        Had net income been reported for this period, an additional
        6,115,000 shares would have been added to diluted common
        shares for Class A common stock for the three months ended
        June 30, 2001.
