1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
Intuit Inc. develops, sells and supports small business accounting and
management, tax preparation and consumer finance desktop software products,
financial supplies (such as computer checks, envelopes and invoices), mortgage loans and
Internet-based products and services for individuals and small businesses, and
financial professionals.businesses. Our
products and services are designed to automate commonly performed financial
tasks and to simplify the way our customersindividuals and small businesses manage their
finances.finances and businesses. We sell our products and services throughout North
America and in many internationalglobal markets. Sales are made primarily through retail and
OEM distribution channels, traditional direct sales to customers and via the
Internet.
Basis of Presentation
Intuit has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. Certain other previously reported amounts have
been reclassified to conform to the current presentation format. We have
included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair
presentation of our operating results for the periods shown. Results for the
ninethree months ended April 30,October 31, 2000 do not necessarily indicate the results to
be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 20002001 or any other future period.
All financial statements presented are restated to include the results of our
Rock Financial Corporation ("Rock") and Title Source, Inc. ("Title Source")
subsidiaries whichthat were acquired on December 8, 1999 in a transaction whichthat was
accounted for as a pooling of interests. These statements and accompanying notes
should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for
the fiscal year ended July 31, 19992000 included in Intuit's Form 10K-A, Amendment No. 1,10-K, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include all of our accounts and
those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in which management intends
to maintain more than a temporary 20% to 50% interest, or otherwise has the
ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity
method. Investments in which we have less than a 20% interest and/or do not have
the ability to exercise significant influence are carried at the lower of cost
or estimated realizable value.
Use of Estimates
To comply with generally accepted accounting principles, we make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the
disclosures made in the accompanying notes. Our most significant estimates are
related to reserves for product returns and exchanges, reserves for rebates and
the collectability of accounts receivable. We also use estimates to determine
the remaining economic lives and carrying value of goodwill, purchased
intangibles, and fixed assets. Despite our intention to establish accurate
estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ from our estimates.
Net Revenue
Intuit recognizes revenue upon shipment of our shrink-wrapped software products
based on "FOB shipping" terms. Because, underUnder FOB shipping terms, title and risk of loss
are transferred, and we have no continuing obligations, once our products are
delivered to the shipper, weshipper. We recognize revenue upon shipment, net of return
reserves based on historical experience. To recognize revenue, it must also be
probable that we will collect the accounts receivable from our customers.
Reserves are provided for returns of excess quantities of current product
versions, as well as previous versions of products still in the distribution
channel when new versions are launched. In some situations, we receive advance
payments from our customers. Revenue associated with these advance payments is
deferred until the products are shipped or services are provided. We also reduce
revenue by the estimated cost of rebates when products are shipped.
Warranty reserves are
provided at the time revenue is recognized for the estimated cost of replacing
defective products.
-6-
7
We recognize revenue from Internet products and services when that revenue is
"earned" based on the nature of the particular product or service. For Internet
products and services that are provided over a period of time, revenue is
recognized pro rata based on the passage of the contractual time period during
which the product or service is to be provided or in accordance with agreed upon
performance criteria. However, where the Internet product or service is to be
deliveredprovided or provideddelivered at one point in time, revenue is recognized immediatelyonce upon
delivery of the product or completion of the service, rather than ratably over
time. For example, we earn advertising revenues from third parties that
advertise on certain of our websites and contract to run such advertisements for
a particular period of time. In that case, the associated advertising revenue is
recognized ratably over the contractual time period during which the advertising
is to be placed. By contrast, for on-line transactions for which we receive a payment
(such as the sale of mortgage loans through our Quicken Loans website), revenue
is recognized upon completion of the transaction, assuming there are no
remaining obligations on our part. To recognize revenue, it must be probable
that we will collect the accounts receivable from our customers.
Intuit also offers several plans under which customers are charged for technical
support assistance. Fees charged for these plans are collected in advance and
are recognized as revenue over a period of time (generally one year) at a rate
that is based on historical call volumes for support, which approximates when
these services are performed. Costs incurred for fee for support plans are
included in cost of goods sold.
We defer loan origination revenue and the associated incremental directcommissions and processing
costs on loans held for sale until the related loan is sold. We recognize gains
and losses on loans at the time we sell them, based upon the difference between
the selling price and the carrying value of the related loans sold. We recognize
loan servicing revenue as the related principal is collected. We recognize
interest income on mortgage loans as it is earned, and we recognize interest
expenses on related borrowings as we incur them.
Customer Service and Technical Support
Customer service and technical support costs include the costs associated with
performing order processing, answering customer inquiries and providing
technical assistance by telephone fax, email, and the Internet.assistance. In connection with the sale of certain products, Intuit
provides a limited amount of free telephone support service to customers. This
free service, also referred to as post-contract customer support, is included in
this expense category. We do not defer the recognition of any revenue associated
with sales of these products, since the cost of providing this free support is
insignificant. The support is provided within one year after the associated
revenue is recognized and enhancements are minimal and infrequent. The estimated
cost of providing this free support is accrued upon product shipment.
In situations where customers are charged for technical support assistance, the
costs incurred in providing services are included in cost of goods sold rather
than as customer service and technical support expenses.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Intuit considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or
less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Both cash equivalents and
short-termShort-term investments are
considered available-for-sale securities and are carried at amortized cost,
which approximates fair value. Available-for-sale securities are classified as
current assets based upon our intent and ability to use any and all of these
securities as necessary to satisfy the significant short-term liquidity
requirements that may arise from the highly seasonal and cyclical nature of our
business. Based on our significant business seasonality, cash flow requirements
within quarters may fluctuate dramatically and could
require us to use a significant
amount of the cashshort-term investments held as available-for-sale securities.

All of our marketable securities are stocks of high technology companies whose stock pricesthat
are subject to substantial volatility. Accordingly, it is possible that the
market price of one or more of these companies' stocks could decline
substantially and quickly, which could result in a material reduction in the
carrying value of these assets.
Mortgage Linesassets and, in the case of Credit
For mortgage lines of credit we estimate fair value basedsecurities treated as trading
securities, a negative impact on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows using interest rates currently in effect for
similar maturities and collateral requirements. The carrying amount of these
lines of credit approximates their estimated fair values since all of the
borrowings have variable interest rates that approximate current market interest
rates for similar types of lines of credit and are due upon demand. We held the
following mortgage lines of credit at July 31, 1999 and April 30, 2000:

As of July 31, 1999 and April 30, 2000, there were approximately $1.8 million
and $0.3 million, respectively of mortgage loans that were greater than 90 days
past due.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
We record goodwill when the cost of net assets we acquire exceeds their fairbook
value. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from
3 to 5 years. The cost of identified intangibles is generally amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from 1 to 10 years. We regularlyWhen appropriate,
we perform reviews to determine if the carrying value of assets is impaired. The
reviews look for the existence of facts or circumstances, either internal or
external, which indicate that the carrying value of the asset cannot be
recovered. No such impairment has been indicated to date. If, in the future,
management determines the existence of impairment indicators, we would use
undiscounted cash flows to initially determine whether impairment should be
recognized. If necessary, we would perform a subsequent calculation to measure
the amount of the impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value over
the fair value of the impaired assets. If quoted market prices for the assets
are not available, the fair value would be calculated using the present value of
estimated expected future cash flows. The cash flow calculations would be based
on management's best estimates, using appropriate assumptions and projections at
the time.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Intuit operates in an industry which is highly competitive and rapidly changing.
Many circumstances could have an unfavorable impact on Intuit's operating
results. Examples include significant technological changes in the industry,
changes in customer requirements or the emergence of competitive products or
services with new capabilities.
We are also subject to risks related to changes in the values of our significant
balances of short-term investments and marketable securities and the
collectability of our trade accounts receivable. At April 30,October 31, 2000, we held
approximately $386$154.6 million in marketable securities, as described in
"Marketable Securities", above in Note 1. Fluctuations in the market value of
our shares in At HomeExcite@Home, VeriSign and VeriSign are treated as realized724 Solutions result in recognized gains
and losses in our statement of operations on an ongoing basis, since these
investments are treated as trading securities. If there is a permanent decline
in the value of any other marketable securities below cost, we will need towould report this
decline in our statement of operations. See "Marketable Securities,"
-11-
12 above in
Note 1 for a discussion of risks associated with our marketable securities. Our
remaining portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of short-term
investment-grade securities.
To reduce the credit risk associated with accounts receivable, Intuit performs
ongoing evaluations of customer credit. Generally, no collateral is required. We
maintain reserves for estimated credit losses and these losses have historically
been within our expectations.
In the normal course of our mortgage business, we enter into loan commitments to
extend credit in order to meet the financing needs of our customers. Loan
commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as all conditions
specified in the contract are met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses and may require the customer to pay a fee. We
evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral we obtain is based on our credit evaluation of the customer.
Loan commitments subject us to market risks and credit risks. Market risk occurs
if interest rates rise after a loan commitment is made. To offset this risk on
conventional loans that are in process, we purchase puts and calls on U.S.
Treasury securities. At October 31, 2000, we held calls in the amount of $8.0
million. The credit risk associated with these puts and calls on U.S. Treasury
securities is a small fraction of the notional amount of the securities and is
reflected in their fair value. Loan commitments also involve credit risk
relating to the customer, which is not reflected on the balance sheet. We use
the same credit policies for making credit commitments as we do for the
underlying loan product.

Recent Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No.FAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 provides a
comprehensiveActivities," which
establishes accounting and consistent standardreporting standards for the recognition and measurement of
derivativesderivative instruments and
hedging activities. Implementation is requiredIt requires us to recognize all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
It further provides criteria for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000.designating derivative instruments at fair
value, cash flow, or foreign currency hedges, and establishes accounting
standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments.
Upon the date of adoption, August 1, 2000, we will report transition
adjustments in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate,
reflectingrecorded the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting for derivatives for our S1 options held. This resulted
in a one-time cumulative effect of $14.3 million, net of taxes totaling $9.5
million, as of August 1, 2000. FAS 133 requires the derivatives to be carried at
fair value, so subsequent fluctuations in the fair value of these options will
be included in our net income. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001 these
fluctuations resulted in a loss of $7.6 million net of taxes, this created a
decrease of $0.04 per share on the basic and diluted net loss per share for the
period. The following table shows what adjusted net loss from continuing
operations and basic and diluted net loss per share from continuing operation of
Intuit would have been as if we had adopted this standard as of the beginning of
fiscal 2000:

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"), and
amended it in March and June 2000. SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements for all public
registrants. Changes in our revenue recognition policy, if any, resulting from
the interpretation of SAB 101 would be reported as a change in accounting
principle. We have not yet
determined whether adoptionare currently reviewing the impact of FAS 133 will have a material impactSAB 101 on our consolidated financial position,previously

the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.
In April 2000 the FASB issued FASB Interpretation Accounting for Certain
previously reported amounts have been reclassifiedTransactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB 25 ("FIN
44"). FIN 44 specifically answers twenty-nine questions on the implementation of
APB 25 that were derived from a survey of members of the Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") and restated to
include the task force on stock compensation. FIN 44 was effective
July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occur
after December 15, 1998. To the extent that FIN 44 covers events occurring
during the period after December 15, 1998, but before the effective date of July
1, 2000, the effects of applying FIN 44 are recognized on a prospective basis
from July 1, 2000. The adoption of FIN 44 has not had a material effect on our
financial position and results of our Rock and Title Source subsidiaries acquired on
December 8, 1999. Certain other previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation format.operations.

2. PER SHARE DATA
Basic income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares
issuable upon the exercise of stock options under the treasury stock method. In
loss periods, basic and dilutive loss per share is identical since the impact of
common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive.
On September 8, 1999, our Board of Directors declared a three-for-one stock
split, to bewhich was effected as a stock dividend of two shares of common stock for
each share of Intuit's common stock outstanding. Stockholders of record on
September 20, 1999 were issued two additional shares of common stock for each
share of Intuit's common stock held on that date. The payment date for the stock
dividend was September 30, 1999. We have restated all share and per share
amounts referred to in the financial statements and notes to reflect this stock
split.

reporting and display of comprehensive net income and its components. However,
it has no impact on our net income or stockholders' equity as presented in our financial statements.
SFAS 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in the
fair value of available for saleavailable-for-sale securities to be included in comprehensive
income.
The components of comprehensive net income, net of tax, are as follows:

4. ACQUISITIONS
On May 3, 1999,August 30, 2000, we completed our acquisition of Computing Resources, Inc.
("CRI"), a Reno, Nevada-based provider of payroll services for a combination of
cash and Intuit stock. CRI is onepurchased all of the country's largest payroll services
companies and a leader in providing payroll services to small businesses. The
purchase priceoutstanding securities of VFSC that
were not already held by Intuit (approximately 51%) for privately-

held CRI was approximately $200 million, consisting of approximately $100
million cash and approximately $25 million of Intuit stock that was paid at
closing, and $75$118
million in cash (including approximately $4.5 million in option exercise and tax
payments in connection with VFSC options exercised immediately prior to be paidthe
purchase). We participated in three annual installmentsthe formation of $25
million each beginningVFSC in May 2000.1998 in order to
facilitate the development of certain Web-oriented finance products. We acquired
the remaining securities of VFSC pursuant to the exercise of a purchase option
that we received in connection with the formation of VFSC. We accounted for the
acquisition of CRIVFSC as a purchase for accounting purposes and allocated
approximately $187$113 million to identified intangible assets and goodwill. These
assets are being amortized over a period of three to five years.

the purchase of all of the outstanding shares
of Rock Financial Corporation ("Rock") for approximately 8.6 million shares of
Intuit common stock. Rock is a provider of consumer mortgages and is based in
Michigan. In connection with the acquisition, Intuit assumed all of Rock's
outstanding employee stock options, which were converted into options to
purchase approximately 1.2 million shares of Intuit common stock. In a related
transaction, Intuit also completed the acquisition of Title Source, Inc., an
affiliate of Rock, for approximately 150,000 shares of Intuit stock. Title
Source provides title insurance and escrow services to real estate agents,
lenders, attorneys, corporations and homeowners. We accounted for the
acquisitions of Rock and Title Source as a pooling of interests for accounting
purposes and have restated all previously reported amounts to reflect the effect
of the pooling.Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers funds was $1.2 million.

5. BORROWINGS
We have two mortgage lines of credit. Advances under the first line of credit
are based on a formula computation, with interest due monthly. Advances are due
on demand and are collateralized by residential first and second mortgages.
Advances may be drawn for working capital and sub-prime, high loan-to-value and
conventional prime mortgage loans. The maximum outstanding balance permitted
under this line is $125 million. Interest rates are variable and are based on
the federal funds rate and prime rate, depending on the type of advance. The
interest rates in effect at July 31, 19992000 and April 30,October 31, 2000 were 6.29%7.69% and
7.25%7.76%, respectively. The weighted average interest rates for the yearthree months
ended JulyOctober 31, 1999 and quarter ended April 30,October 31, 2000 were 6.45%6.39% and 8.38%7.76%, respectively.
Our second line of credit currently provides for up to $50 million principal
amount of demand loans secured by mortgage loans and other assets. Interest
rates on loans vary depending on the type of underlying loan, and the loans are
subject to sublimits,sub-limits, advance rates and warehouse terms that vary depending on
the type of underlying loan. The interest rates in effect at July 31, 19992000 and
April 30,October 31, 2000 were 6.37%7.89% and 7.50%7.84%, respectively, while the weighted average
interest rates for the three month periodsmonths ended JulyOctober 31, 1999 and April 30,October 31, 2000
were 5.92%6.43% and 7.35%7.73%, respectively. We are required to maintain a minimum
tangible net worth and to satisfy other financial covenants, as outlined in the
line of credit agreements. We were in compliance with the requirements as of
July 31, 19992000 and April 30, 2000.
Our reverse repurchase agreement entered into in 1997 provided that the lender
will purchase from us, subject to our agreement to repurchase on a specified
date, up to $200 million of conventional prime and sub-prime mortgage loans at
par, as of January 1, 2000. Loans subject to purchase are fixed and adjustable
rate, fully-amortizing first or junior lien residential mortgage loans and home
equity loans that comply with our origination guidelines and conform to
whole-loan sale requirements. The reverse repurchase agreement was not a
committed facility and the lender could elect to discontinue the repurchase
agreement at any time. The terms of the financing under the repurchase agreement
matured and could be renewed on a daily basis. In any event, the arrangement
terminated in March 2000. Interest rates were variable and were based on the
London Interbank Offered Rate, depending on the
-13-
14
type of advance. The interest rate in effect at JulyOctober 31, 1999 was 5.75%. The
weighted average interest rate for the year ended July 31, 1999 was 5.92%. There
were no borrowings on this line for the quarter ended April 30, 2000.
Drafts payable represent funds advanced for mortgages originated whichthat have not
yet been drawn against the lines of credit.

7. INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Intuit has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131
establishes standards for the way in which public companies disclose certain
information about operating segments in the Company's financial reports.
Consistent with SFAS 131, we have determined our operating segments based on
factors such as how our operations are managed and how results are viewed by
management. Since Internet-based revenues and expenses cut across all of our
business divisions, we do not report results of our Internet-based businesses as
a separate business segment in our financial statements. Instead, each of our
business divisions reports Internet-based revenues and expenses that are
specific to its operations and are included in its results. The accounting
policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. Intuit does not track assets by
operating segments. Consequently, we do not disclose assets by operating
segments. The following unaudited results for the three month periods October
31, 1999 and 2000 are broken out by our operating segments for the nine month periods ended April 30, 1999 and 2000:

8. NOTES PAYABLE AND COMMITMENTS
In March 2000, our Japanese subsidiary, Intuit KK, entered into a one-year loan
agreement with Japanese banks for approximately $34.7$35.1 million which was used to
refinance the three year loan that was entered into in March 1997 to finance our
acquisition of Nihon Micom. The loan is denominated in Japanese yen and is
therefore subject to foreign currency fluctuations when translated to U.S.
dollars for reporting purposes. The interest rate is variable based on the Tokyo
inter-bank offered rate or the short-term prime rate offered in Japan. At
April
30,October 31, 2000, the rate was approximately 0.8%1.07%. The fair value of the loan
approximates cost as the interest rate on the borrowings is adjusted
periodically to reflect market rates (which are currently significantly lower in
Japan than in the United States). We are obligated to pay interest only on the
loan until March 2001.
9. INCOME TAXES
Intuit computes the provision (benefit) for income taxes by applying the
estimated annual effective tax rate to recurring operations and other taxable
items. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily
because of tax credits, tax exempt interest income, state taxes and certain
foreign losses.

10. LITIGATION
Intuit was a defendant in a consolidated class action lawsuit in California
which alleged that certain of its Quicken products have on-line banking
functions that are not Year 2000 compliant. On October 13, 1999 the court
dismissed the case without leave to amend. In May 2000, plaintiffs were awarded
nominal attorneys' fees. If plaintiffs do not appeal the case dismissal or the
fees award, this case will be over.
On March 3, 2000 a class action lawsuit, Bruce v. Intuit Inc., was filed in the
United States District Court, Central District of California, Eastern Division.
Two virtually identical lawsuits were later filed: Rubin v. Intuit Inc., was
filed on March 8, 2000 in the United States District Court, Southern District of
New York and Newby v. Intuit Inc. was filed on April 27, 2000, in the United
States District Court, Central District of California, Eastern Division. The
Bruce and Newby lawsuits were consolidated into one lawsuit - In re Intuit
Privacy Litigation, filed on July 28, 2000 in the United States District Court
of California, Eastern Division. A similar lawsuit, Almanza v. Intuit Inc. was
filed on March 22, 2000 in the Superior Court of State of California, San
Bernadino County, Rancho Cucamonga Division. The Almanza complaint was amended
on October 26, 2000. These purported class actions allege violations of various
federal and California statutes and common law claims for invasion of privacy
based upon the alleged intentional disclosure to third parties of personal and
private customer information entered at Intuit's Quicken.com website. The
complaints seek injunctive relief, orders to disgorge profits related to the
alleged acts, and statutory and other damages. To date,Intuit believes these lawsuits
are without merit and intends to defend the Rubin complaint has not been served.
In addition, on April 19, 2000, Bosch v. Intuit Inc. was filed in the Superior
Court, State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central District. This
lawsuit alleges violations of California statutes for alleged false and
deceptive advertising and unlawful business practices related to QuickBooks
products and purchasing the Tax Table Service. Plaintiff seeks injunctive
relief, an order to disgorge profits, restitution and attorneys' fees.litigation vigorously.
Intuit is subject to other legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and
claimsthreatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business. We
currently believe that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending
actionsclaims of any type (either alone or combined) will not materially affect our
financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the ultimate
outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and either unfavorable or favorable
outcomes could have a material negative impact. Regardless of outcome,
litigation can have an adverse impact on Intuit because of defense costs,
diversion of management resources and other factors.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of April 30,SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 15, 2000 we heldentered into an agreement to acquire all of the
outstanding stock of EmployeeMatters, Inc. for approximately 8.1% of Checkfree's outstanding

which we have agreed to sell selected assets of our QuickenInsurance business to
InsWeb Corp. in exchange for approximately $14 million of common stock of InsWeb
(representing a 16.6% equity interest on a post-closing basis). In addition, we
will enter into a distribution agreement under which InsWeb will become the
exclusive consumer insurance aggregator for our Quicken.com and QuickenInsurance
Web sites and certain consumer desktop products. In exchange, we will share in
associated revenues, which are subject to certain minimums over the 5-year term
of the distribution agreement. The transactions are expected to close in the
first calendar quarter of 2001, subject to various conditions, including
regulatory clearances and customary closing conditions.

CAUTIONS ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
ThisThroughout this Form 10-Q, contains forward-lookingyou will find "forward-looking" statements, or

cases, you can identify these statements withby forward-looking words like "expect,such as "may,"
"anticipate,"might," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes,"
"estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "believe""continue," and other similar terms.
These forward-looking statements may include, among other things, projections of
our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and anticipated trends
in our businesses. These statements are only predictions, based on our current
expectations about future events. Although we believe the expectations reflected
in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future

uncertainties, and our actual results, mayperformance or achievements could differ
materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
The important factors that could cause our expectations expressed in this report because of
risks and uncertainties about the future. We will not necessarily update
information in this Form 10-Q if any forward-looking statement later turns outresults to be inaccurate. Details about risks and uncertainties that affect various
aspects of our business, and may affect future results and performance,differ are discussed throughoutunder
"Risks That Could Affect Future Results," at the end of this Form 10-Q.Item 2. This sectionItem 2
should also be read in conjunction with the financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements
and notesrelated Notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Investors
should consider all of these risks carefully,10-Q, and should pay particular
attention to the following:
- - Our revenue and earnings are highly seasonal and our quarterly and annual
financial results fluctuate significantly.
- - We face intense competition from many companies in all of our business
areas. Intense competition can have a material negative impact on revenue,
profitability and market position.
- - Competition in the personal tax preparation software business is
particularly intense. Although Microsoft ultimately withdrew from the
desktop personal tax market this season, there are other formidable current
and potential competitors in the private sector, and we also face potential
competition from the Internal Revenue Service and state tax agencies.
- - In our online mortgage and insurance businesses, we face competition from
many newly public companies that have a narrower business focus, increasing
financial resources and less demanding earnings expectations.
- - We must continue to establish and maintain important distribution
relationships for our Internet-based products and services and successfully
market and promote these products and services.
- - We must maintain high reliability for our server-based Web services in
order to attract and retain customers. In particular, our web-based tax
preparation and electronic filing services effectively handled extremely
heavy customer demand during the peak tax season this year, but must
continue to successfully do so in future tax seasons.
- - If we fail to provide responsive customer service and technical support, we
could lose customers.
- - Our Internet businesses face risks relating to customer privacy and
security and increasing regulation that could adversely affect our ability
to offer online services and derive advertising revenue from our Internet
operations.
- - Our Internet businesses require significant research and development and
marketing expenditures.
- - Page views and reach statistics for our Quicken.com site can vary
significantly from month to month due to seasonal trends, site performance,
the timing of launches, performance of the major stock market indices,
competitors' activities and other factors. Adverse changes in page view and
reach statistics could adversely affect our ability to earn advertising
revenue from our Quicken.com site.
- - In order to succeed in the payroll services business, we must continue to
improve the integration of the operations of our payroll processing
subsidiary, streamline customer activations for our online payroll
processing service and focus our traditional payroll service on existing
distribution channels.
- - The technology and services of certain alliances for our QuickBooks
Internet Gateway initiative still need to be completed and integrated with
QuickBooks, and are subject to risks and uncertainties involved in the
product development process, including technological difficulties, possible
delays, and possible unavailability of financial resources. Significant
delays in implementing key services, or failure to implement, could delay
or eliminate our ability to recognize contractually committed revenues.
- - The anticipated benefits of certain proposed small business services to
Intuit (including the Site Builder website creation tool, Site Solutions
services and QuickBooks Internet Gateway services) will depend on a number
of variables, including the rate at which customers upgrade to QuickBooks
2000 and future versions of the product, customer acceptance of new and
proposed services, and the level of satisfaction of third party
participants. Customer upgrade rates for QuickBooks 2000, which was
released in January 2000, have been negatively impacted by heavier upgrade
activity during 1999 due to Year 2000 concerns.
- - The success of the small business alliances will depend on establishing and
maintaining a number of important business relationships, and there can be
no assurance that key relationships will be established and, if
established, will continue.
-17-
18
- - Our Tax and Quicken Internet Gateway initiatives, and related new services
to be offered in these areas, are in very early stages. Success of these
initiatives will depend on establishing and maintaining business
relationships with key participants and completing necessary technology
development and integration, as well as achieving broad customer acceptance
of the services to be offered.
- - We offer electronic bill payment and bill presentment services, and the My
Finances web-based personal finance management service, through licensing
arrangements with a joint venture in which we are a participant. The
success of these services for Intuit will depend on a number of factors,
including timely and cost-effective completion of ongoing development
efforts, customer and biller adoption and participation rates, and the
status of the relationship with the joint venture. Intuit has an option to
purchase the interests in the joint venture that it does not currently own
between May 2000 and May 2002, at a formula-driven price that would likely
exceed $100 million. If we do not exercise the purchase option, our rights
to use the technology developed by the joint venture will be subject to
future negotiation.
- - We face increasing competition for access to retail and OEM distribution
channels.
- - The integration of acquired companies poses ongoing operational challenges
and risks. In addition, our recent acquisitions have resulted in
significant acquisition-related expenses.
- - Our mortgage business is subject to interest rate fluctuations, and the
impact of interest rates on Intuit's operating results has become more
significant since the acquisition of Rock Financial was completed. The
recent increase in interest rates is also adversely affecting our mortgage
business.
- - We hold investments that have been very volatile.
Additional information about factors that could affect future results and events
is included in our fiscal 1999 Form 10-K/A, our fiscal 2000 Form
10-Qs, and

Intuit's mission is to revolutionize the way individuals,how people manage their financial lives and
small businesses and
financial professionals manage their finances. As we execute this mission, our
strategy isbusinesses. We strive to greatly expand the world of electronic finance. "Electronic
finance" encompasses three types of products and services: (1) desktop software
products, such as Quicken(R), QuickBooks(R) and Quicken TurboTax(R), that
operate on customers' personal computers to automate financial tasks; (2) onlineoffer innovative products
and services such as Quicken.com(SM), QuickenLoans(SM),
QuickenInsurance(SM)that drive fundamental changes in how individuals and Quicken TurboTax forsmall
businesses manage their activities -- changes so profound that our customers
can't imagine going back to the Web(SM), that are delivered
via the Internet;"old way" of doing things. We offer a variety of
small business, tax preparation and (3)personal finance software products and services, such as QuickBooks Online
Payroll(SM) service, that connect Internet-based services with desktop software
to enable customers to integrate their financial activities.
While desktop software and
related products and services now provide most of our
revenue, our Internet-based revenue is growing rapidly. For the three months
ended April 30, 2000, Internet-based revenue more than doubled comparedthat enable people and small businesses to
the
same period last year and accounted for approximately 35% of total revenue in
the quarter ended April 30, 2000, compared to approximately 20% in the prior
year quarter. We expect Internet revenues to be approximately 25% of total
revenues for the full fiscal year. We use the term Internet-based revenue to
include revenue from both Internet-enabled products and services as well as
revenue from electronic distribution. Internetrevolutionize how they manage their activities. Our products and services
include activities where the customer realizes the value of the goods or services
directly on the Internet or an Intuit server. Internet product revenues include,
for example, advertising revenues generated on our Quicken.com website, online
tax preparationQuicken(R), QuickBooks(R), Quicken TurboTax(R), ProSeries(R) and
electronic tax filing revenues, online payroll service
revenue and transaction and processing fees from our online insurance and online
mortgage services. Electronic distribution includes revenues generated by
electronic ordering and/or delivery of traditionalLacerte(R) desktop software products, as well as an expanding array of
Internet-based products and financial supplies. We also useservices, including QuickBooks Deluxe Payroll
service, QuickBooks Internet Gateway services, our Site Builder website tool,
Quicken TurboTax for the Internet to host our technical support
website where we can quicklyWeb, Quicken.com(SM) and cost-effectively provide patches for product
bugs and provide customers with answers to frequently asked questions.
While we believe that the Internet provides an opportunity to increase future
revenue, we also anticipate continued increases in spending in an effort to
capitalize on new business opportunities. While we have made significant
progress in our Internet-based businesses, investors should be aware that many
of these businesses are in their initial stages, and are not yet generating
significant revenue or profit. In particular, we continue to expect increased
research and development expenses due to investments in Internet-based
initiatives. Since Internet-based revenues and expenses cut across all of our
business divisions, we do not report results of our Internet-based businesses as
a separate business segment in our financial statements. Instead, each of our
business divisions reports Internet-based revenues and expenses that are
specific to its operations and are included in its results.Quicken Loans (SM).
Our business is highly seasonal. Sales of tax products are heavily concentrated

products are typically strongest during the year-end holiday buying -18-

season and
the beginning of the calendar year, and therefore our major product launches
usually occur in the fall or early winter to take advantage of thisthese customer
buying pattern.patterns. These seasonal patterns mean that revenue is usually strongesthighest
during the quarters ending January 31 and April 30. We experience lower revenues
for the quarters ending July 31 and October 31, while our operating expenses to
develop and manage products and services continue to be incurred at relatively consistent
levels during these periods. These seasonal trendsThis can result in significant operating losses

other reasons, such as changes in product release dates, non-recurring events
such as acquisitions, dispositions, gains and dispositions,losses from marketable securities,
and product price cuts in quarters that have relatively high fixed expenses.
Acquisitions and dispositions in particular can have a significant impact on the
comparability of both our quarterly and yearlyannual results, and acquisition-related
expenses have had a negative impact on earnings.
While desktop software and related products and services provide most of our
revenue, our Internet-based revenue is continuing to grow rapidly. For the three
months ended October 31, 2000, Internet-based revenue increased approximately
42% compared to the prior year quarter and accounted for approximately 27% of
total revenue in the current quarter, compared to approximately 20% in the prior
year quarter. We use the term Internet-based revenue to include revenue from
both Internet-enabled products and services as well as revenue generated by
electronic ordering and/or delivery of traditional desktop software products and
financial supplies. Since Internet-based revenues cut across all of our business
divisions, we do not report results of our Internet-based revenues separately in
our financial statements. Instead, each of our business divisions reports
Internet-based revenues that are specific to its operations and are included in
its results.

We believe our Internet-based businesses and our other emerging businesses
provide an opportunity to increase revenue in fiscal 2001 and beyond. We have
made significant progress in several of our Internet businesses over the past
three years. During fiscal 2000, our web-based tax preparation and electronic
filing services and the QuickBooks Internet Gateway were profitable. However,
investors should be aware that some of our other emerging businesses are still
in their initial stages and are not yet generating either profits or significant
revenue. We also anticipate increased spending in an effort to capitalize on new
business opportunities. During fiscal 2001 we expect to double our investments
in our emerging businesses, which will contribute to increased research and
development expenses as well as increased selling and marketing expenses. See
"Risks That Could Affect Future Results."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are certain consolidated statements of operations data for the
three and nine-month periodsmonths ended April 30,October 31, 1999 and 2000. Investors should
note that results for the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2000
include activity for our CRI subsidiary, which was acquired in May 1999. The
corresponding year ago periods did not include results for CRI (see Note 4). Results for all periods include
resultsactivity for Rock Financial Corporation and Title Source, Inc. (collectively,
"Rock"), which wewere acquired in December 1999. TheAs the acquisition of Rock has beenwas
accounted for as a pooling of interests, so all prior periods have been restated to
reflect the combined results of Rock and Intuit. The inclusionSee Note 1 of Rock's results in the comparison periods for both fiscal 1999
and fiscal 2000 had a significant impact on our financial
results. Rock's
revenue declined approximately 50% for the comparison periods, due to Rock's
transition from a traditional mortgage business to an online mortgage business
as well as rising interest rates. Although Rock's operating expenses decreased
in absolute dollars between the comparison periods, they increased significantly
as a percentage of revenue and resulted in operating losses for Rock during the
fiscal 2000 comparison periods (compared to operating profits in the fiscal 1999
periods), which partially offset growth in operating income for our other
businesses as a whole.statements.

Small Business Division.
Small business division revenues comeBusiness Division revenue is derived primarily from the following sources:
- QuickBooks product line
- Suppliesdesktop
products, (including checks, envelopes and invoices)
- Payrollfinancial supplies, payroll services,
- Support fees for the QuickBooks Support Network
and QuickBooks Internet Gateway services.
Overall, revenue for the division was up 10% and 44%17% for the three and
nine-month periodsmonths ended April 30,October
31, 2000 respectively, compared to the same periodsperiod in the prior year. Payroll services
experienced revenue growth of 49% in the three months ended October 31, 2000
compared to the same period a year ago. QuickBooks revenue for the third quarter declined comparedThis was due to the third quarter of fiscal 1999. However, for the nine-month period, we
experienced significant growth in our QuickBooks product line revenue, driven
primarily by highergreater unit sales as
well as increasedhigher average selling prices as a
result of consumer preferences toward higher priced, greater functionality
products. This unusual quarterly revenue pattern is due to two primary factors.
First,price increases for our online
Deluxe Payroll Service. While we encouraged owners of older versions of QuickBooks to upgrade prior to
January 2000 in order to minimize Year 2000 issues. Second, we gave over 350,000
online customers free upgrades to bring them into Y2K compliance. These actions
resulted in strong first-half revenue growth, while producing a decline in
customer upgradesbelieve our payroll business, and resulting revenue for the third quarter. The third quarter
trend is expected to continue into the fourth quarter.
Domestic supplies revenues, which are part of the small business division, grew
by 7% and 14% for the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2000 as a
result of our increasing base of small business customers who use
-19-

QuickBooks and Quicken. In addition, in August 1999, we began charging for
shipping and handling for domestic supplies shipments which also contributed to
our domestic supplies revenue.
QuickBooks Deluxe
Payroll Service (launched in October 1998) and CRI's
traditional payroll business (acquired in May 1999) both contributed to
increased revenues during the three-month and nine-month periods ended April 30,
2000. Tax tables service revenue and revenue from our QuickBooks Support Network
also grew in the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2000 compared to
the same periods a year ago.
We offer different types of payroll services. Our Basic Payroll Service is a
payroll tax table subscription service for small business customers that need
current tax tables to prepare their own payroll. Our QuickBooks Deluxe Payroll
service, which is integrated with our QuickBooks products, is an online payroll
services that handles all aspects of payroll processing, with our CRI subsidiary
providing the processing services. Our Premier payroll services provides
traditional payroll processing services for former customers of CRI. In
addition, we offer QuickPayroll, a subscription-based payroll service for
customers who do not use QuickBooks. While the payroll processing business
providesparticular, will provide us with a significant opportunity to
generate recurring revenue there are
businessin the future, we face a number of challenges and
risks, associated with theincluding operational issues in activating online payroll processing business and the continued
integration of CRI into our existing business model. For example, if we are
unable to provide accurate and timely payroll information, cash deposits or tax
return filings, that failure could be costly to correct and may have a
significant negative impact on our ability to attract and retain customers, who
have a low tolerance for payroll processing errors.customers. See
"Risks That Could Affect Future Results." The success of our premier
payroll service will depend in part on retaining existing customers and
maintaining relationships with certain banks and other third parties. If we are
unable to do so, it could result in a negative impact on our consolidated
results. While the customer base for the QuickBooks Deluxe Payroll service
continues to expand, the service is not yet generating material revenues and we
must continue to focus on streamlining the customer activation process.
QuickBooks 2000 features the QuickBooks Internet Gateway, platformwhich
was launched in January 2000, also contributed to the overall revenue growth for
the Small Business Division for the first quarter of connected
and integrated electronic services. It is designedfiscal year 2001. We
believe it will contribute to offer small businesses
direct access to business services from third parties, such as electronic
postage and merchant account services, that can help them more easily and
efficiently manage their business. It also features QuickBooks Site Solutions, a
new web site creation and domain name registration tool that enables small
businesses to quickly establish a presence on the Web. These new features are
strategically important to Intuit as a way to expand our customer base and
generate moreincreasing revenue and profit per customer. While we are encouraged by
preliminary results for these services, future revenuesprofitability in fiscal
2001 and profits arebeyond, but the business remains subject to a varietynumber of risks and
uncertainties.uncertainties, including customer and vendor participation and satisfaction
levels. See "Cautions about Forward-Looking
Statements"Risks That Could Affect Future Results." In addition, financial
supplies experienced revenue growth of 9% for the three months ended October 31,
2000 compared to the same period in the prior year.
The increase in Small Business Division revenue was partially offset by the
expected decline in QuickBooks revenue of 15% for the first quarter of fiscal
2001 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The decline was primarily the
result of lower unit sales compared to the prior year quarter, when we
experienced exceptionally strong demand as customers purchased upgrades due to
Year 2000 concerns.

Tax Division.
Tax division revenues come primarilyDivision revenue is derived from the following sources:
- Quicken TurboTax federal and MacInTax personalstate consumer
desktop tax preparation products, - ProfessionalProSeries and Lacerte professional tax
preparation products, (ProSerieselectronic tax filing services and Lacerte product
lines)
- Quicken TurboTax for
the Web electroniconline tax preparation services
- Electronic filing servicesservices.
Due to the seasonal nature of our tax business, the first quarter typically
generates only nominal revenue from tax products in comparison to the second and
third quarters of the fiscal year. Overall, tax division revenuesthe Tax Division revenue for the
three and nine-month periodsmonth period ended April
30,October 31, 2000 increased by 47% and 13% respectively,12% compared to the same
periodsperiod last year.
The increase in revenuedevelopment and launch of our consumer tax products for the three-months ended April 30, 2000 tax year
was due primarily to the deferral of significant electronic filingcompleted on schedule, and state product
revenuesproducts reached retail shelves in early
December. However, there are still ongoing risks associated with our second fiscal quarter which were subsequently recognized in our
third fiscal quarter. These deferrals were significantly higher this year as atax
business, including intense competition that could result of the increased popularity of electronic filing and more aggressive free
state product promotions with certain versions of our Quicken Turbo Tax product.
While we experienced significant unit sales growth for the three and nine months
ended April 30, 2000, we also experienced extreme pricing pressures from both
H&R Block's aggressively priced TaxCut product and from Microsoft's TaxSaver
product, including free product offerings from Microsoft. The increased
competition resulted in lower average
selling prices and/or a decline in responseour share of sales in the retail channel.
While we have undertaken product development and marketing efforts intended to
these
pricing pressures. We also experienced significantly higheraddress competitive pressures, we will not be able to report revenues and
operating results for the entire tax season until late in the fiscal year.
In connection with our web-based tax preparation electronic filing services, we
also face the challenge of maintaining service levels during peak volume service
times. Although service reliability and responsiveness were very good during
fiscal 2000, we experienced brief interruptions in our electronic filing
services during February and April 1999. The exact level of demand for Quicken
TurboTax for the Web and for electronic filing compared to last
year. Unit sales and revenue from our Quicken TurboTax for the Web increased by
approximately 470%current tax year is very
difficult to predict, and 120%, respectively,we could experience adverse financial and public
relations consequences if these services are unavailable due to technical
difficulties or other reasons.
Consumer Finance Division.
Consumer Finance Division revenue comes primarily from Quicken desktop products,
Quicken Loans, advertising, sponsorship and placement fees, online transactions
and QuickenInsurance.
Overall, Consumer Finance Division revenue was down 7% for the ninethree months
ended April 30,October 31, 2000, compared to the same period last year. Unit growth was driven in part by
free units offered through our Quicken Tax Freedom Project. Unit sales and
revenue from our electronic filing services increased by approximately 73% and
88%, respectively, for the nine months ended April 30, 2000 compared to the same
period last year. While we are encouraged by 1999 tax season results, we do not
expect comparable growth rates for our web-based offerings in our 2000 tax
season.
In March 2000, Microsoft announced that it would discontinue its TaxSaver
product after the 1999 tax season. However we believe they plan to offer H&R
Block's TaxCut product on the MSN network for the 2000 tax season. Accordingly,
we expect the personal tax market to remain extremely competitive for the
foreseeable future.
-20-
21
Although we are encouraged by the year-to-date results for our personal tax
products, revenues for the full tax season are still subject to product returns
from our retail distribution channels. While we expect our reserves for returned
products will be adequate to cover retailers' returns of unsold products during
the next two quarters, higher than expected returns could have a negative impact
on revenue for the full season.
Revenues for our professional tax (ProSeries) products and products from our
Lacerte subsidiary increased by 22% and 13% for the three and nine-month periods
ended April 30, 2000 respectively, compared to the same periods last year. This
growth is attributable to a combination of a continued shift to higher priced
products, increased pay-per-return revenues and growth in our customer base due
in part to our acquisitions of Compucraft and TaxByte during 1999. In addition,
we continue to experience a high customer renewal rate.
Consumer Finance Division. Consumer finance division revenues come primarily
from the following sources:
- Quicken product line
- Advertising and sponsorship fees from the consumer areas of our
Quicken.com website
- Implementation, marketing and transaction fees from financial
institutions (including marketspace participants) providing services
through Quicken and Quicken.com
- Consumer mortgage placement and servicing fees through Quicken Loans
Overall, consumer finance division revenues were down 10% and roughly flat for
the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2000, respectively, compared to
the same periodsquarter a year ago. These results reflect strong revenue growthRevenue for our
Quicken product line and growth in Internet-based revenues, offset by a
significantexperienced an expected decline in revenuesof 11% for Rock's mortgage business from the year-ago
periods. Quicken revenue increasedthree months
ended October 31, 2000, compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily due toquarter. Our comparative
results were negatively impacted by strong consumer demand resulting fromduring the three
months ended October 31, 1999 as a result of aggressive retail promotions with our tax products. While overall Quicken revenue growth is strong
year-to-date, Quicken revenue in the third quarter this year was relatively flat
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1999. We believe this is attributable toand a
significant number of customers upgrading in the first half of the fiscal
year, due to Year 2000 concerns. We anticipate that this shift will continue to
impact upgrade sales and that Quicken revenue may continue to decline compared
to fiscal 1999 levels for the remainder of our fiscal year. Our Quicken
product line faces many challenges in the desktop personal financial software market. For example, we continue to facecategory,
including continued competition from Microsoft's Money product. In addition,product and other
web-based personal financial software functionality isfinance tracking and management tools that are becoming
increasingly becoming available on the Internet at no cost which has a negative
impact on desktop product sales. There is also an increasing emphasis on
packaging desktop software with original equipment manufacturers' personal
computers, which results in lower revenues per unit shipped.to consumers.
The Consumer divisionFinance Division benefited from 7% revenue growth also benefited from an increase in certain
Internet-based revenue compared to the same periods last year. This increase was
largely due to higher advertising, sponsorship and transaction-related revenue
through Quicken.com and Quicken. However, revenue growth was not uniform across
all of our Internet product and service offerings in the Consumer division. For
example, advertising revenue from our Quicken.com site has grown relatively
rapidly. However, revenue from Quicken
Loans was substantially lower than in the
same periods a year ago. Quicken Loans now encompasses Intuit's online mortgage business as well as the online and traditional mortgage businesses of Rock
Financial, which we acquired in December 1999. The decline inbusiness. Online mortgage revenue was primarily dueup 53% over the prior year,
which more than offset the revenue declines that resulted from discontinuing our
loan referral business model and the closing and consolidation of 22 branch
offices. The percentage of our mortgage revenue generated and processed online
and/or through our call center increased from 37% for all of fiscal 2000 to Rock's decision54%
in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. While we expect the total mortgage business
to close many of its traditional mortgage
branch offices in order to focus resources on Internet-based lending, as well as
increasing interest rates. Revenue from mortgage transaction fees may continue to be adversely impacted ifgrow for the full fiscal year, we face continuing challenges in
our mortgage business, including interest rates continuerate fluctuations. See "Risks That
Could Affect Future Results."
On November 25, 2000, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to
rise, and aswhich we continuehave agreed to phase out Rock's traditional mortgage business.sell selected assets of our QuickenInsurance business to
InsWeb Corp. in exchange for common stock of InsWeb (representing a 16.6% equity
interest on a post-closing basis). In addition, the acquisition
of Rock will continue to result in new business risks and integration challenges
common in all acquisitions. For example, our ability to successfully facilitate
the application, approval, and closing process in loan applications on a timely
basis will have a significant impact on our ability to attract customers to our
mortgage service. Our ability to succeed in the mortgage business will depend in
part on maintaining relationships with certain banks and other third parties who
we will rely on to provide access to capital, and later, serviceenter into a
distribution agreement under which InsWeb will become the loans. If
we are unable to do so, it could have a negative impact on our consolidated
results.
The revenue growth we've experienced in our Internet products and services has
been generated in part by collaborating with third party online service and
content providers such as At Home Corporation (doing business as "Excite@Home")
and AOL, which have helped to increase traffic toexclusive consumer
insurance aggregator for our Quicken.com website. The
Excite@Home agreement calls for us to share revenue generated from our
Quicken.com site and the AOL agreement calls for us to make significant
guaranteed payments to AOL over the termQuickenInsurance Web sites and
certain consumer desktop products. See Note 11 of the agreement. While the Internet
provides a significant opportunity for revenue growth, our financial commitments
to these and other third party providers are significant and we must continue to
increase traffic and revenue in order for our Internet businesses to become

profitable. Our ability to maintain important relationships with Internet
portals, distributors and content providers will also have an impact on traffic
and revenues. If our website traffic and revenue expectations aren't met, there
could be a significant negative impact on our operating results.

Overall, international divisionGlobal Business Division revenues increased 67% and 46%2% for the three and nine-month periodsmonth
period ended April 30,October 31, 2000 compared to the same periodsperiod last year. We
experienced an increase in revenue from Canada, due primarily to higher
QuickBooks sales. This increase is a result of stronger sales of Quicken and
QuickBooks in both Canada and the U.K., higher sales of the Yayoi small business
product in Japan, and favorable currency fluctuations in Japan. Partially
offsetting these increases was partially offset by a decline in revenues in Germany, which

Total cost of goods sold increased to
24% and 25% of revenue for the three and nine-months ended April 30, 2000
compared to 21% and 23% for the same periods of the prior year. These increases
are primarily attributable to two factors. First, consistent with our growing
Internet-based business, we are experiencing a significant increase in related
hardware and infrastructure costs as we purchase equipment to increase our
Internet capability and capacity. These costs are classified as cost of goods
sold and, as a percentage of revenue are significantly higher thanincreased to 37% for the
coststhree month period ended October 31, 2000, compared to 33% for the same period
in the prior year. This increase is attributable to growth of
goods sold for our traditional desktop software business. Second, our service
businesses, such as payroll processing and QuickBooks Support Network, generallyas they
typically have higher cost of goods sold compared tothan our packaged software products.
During the sale of packaged software. As
these businesses contribute a higher proportion of total revenue, we anticipate
that our cost of goods sold will continue to increase. Note that results from
CRI,three months ended October 31, 2000 our payroll processing subsidiary that we acquired in May 1999, are
included in fiscal 2000 results but not in the fiscal 1999 comparison periods,
which contributed to the year-over-yearservices experienced
a significant increase in cost of goods sold, due to growth in our online
payroll business. The increase from the first quarter of fiscal 2000 is also
attributable to infrastructure investments relating to new and existing online
businesses, as well as certain operating expenses of QuickenLoans being
reclassified this year from selling and marketing expenses to cost of goods
sold.

lower customer service and technical support expenses as a percentage of

customer service and technical support less expensively through websites and
other electronic means, and from the expansion of the QuickBooks Support Network

23%40% for the same periodsperiod of the prior year. The
decreasedecline in selling and marketing costs as a percentage of revenue for the three
month period is partly attributable to a delay or reduction in customer
acquisition programs (particularly for QuickenLoans and Deluxe Payroll), based
on the customer demand generated by the strength of our acquisitionbrands. In addition, in
the first quarter last year we incurred higher than normal selling and marketing
expenses to notify customers of CRI, which experiences comparatively lower sellingYear 2000 issues and solutions. Also
contributing to the decline was a reclassification of certain QuickenLoans
expenses from sales and marketing expenses to cost of goods sold in fiscal 2001.
In addition, during the prior year quarter we experienced increased sales and
marketing expenses as a percentageresult of revenue. This was partially offset by the aggressive marketing programs relating to the

August 1999, and Turning Mill Software
in November 1999.

related to completed acquisitions will continue to have a negative impact on our
operating results in future periods. Assuming no additional acquisitions and nowe do not experience any
impairment of value resulting in an acceleration of the intangible assets that would require us to accelerate
amortization, amortization will be approximately $167.3$178.7 million, $148.0$176.4 million,
$142.8$152.3 million and $118.7$73.0 million for the years ending July 31, 20002001 through

Our operations provided $218.52000.
We used $15.2 million in cash for our operations during the ninethree months ended
April 30,October 31, 2000. Primary sourcesThe primary components of cash used by operations were a net
loss of $33.8 million, an adjustment for a cumulative accounting gain of $23.9
million and a significant reduction in our income tax payables of $288.5 million, net
income$60.3 million.
These were offset by adjustments made for non-cash itemsexpenses such as acquisition
charges of $43.1 million, depreciation gainscharges of $14.6 million and a $32.0
million tax benefit from the saleexercise of marketable securities andemployee stock options. We also
experienced an increase in liabilities. The increase in liabilities was driven primarily by increased
income taxes payabledeferred revenue of $13.6 million as a result of an
increasing number of Internet-related agreements under which we receive payments
from our realized gains from the disposition of marketable
securities, such as Checkfree, At Home, and VeriSign Inc. (see Note 1). We also
experienced increased liabilities duethird parties prior to the seasonality of our business and the
resulting increase in accruals for product returns, customer rebates and accrued
technical support expenses. These sources of cash were offset significantly by
an increase of $64.4 million in accounts receivabletime that is attributable to the
large volume of seasonal product shipments to retailers and distributors that
typically occur in our second and third fiscal quarters.we can recognize them as revenue.
Investing activities generated $129.6used $154.6 million in cash for the ninethree months ended
April 30,October 31, 2000. The primary contributor touse of cash includedfor investing was the purchase of

Financing activities provided $59.8$31.5 million for the ninethree months ended April 30,October
31, 2000, primarily attributable to proceeds from the exercise of employee stock
options. This was partially offset by the decrease in our line of credit as we
funded new consumer mortgage loans during the period.
We currently hold investments in a number of publicly traded companies (see Note
1)1 of the financial statements). The volatility of the stock market and the
potential risk of fluctuating stock prices may have an impact on the proceeds
from future sales of these securities and therefore on our future liquidity. Due
to our reporting of the At HomeExcite@Home, VeriSign and VeriSign724 Solutions shares as
trading securities, future fluctuations in the carrying values of At Home and VeriSignthese stocks

are deemed to be permanent, they will also impact our earnings.results. Investors should
note that many high technology companies, including At HomeExcite@Home, VeriSign and
VeriSign,724 Solutions, have recently experienced significant declines in their stock
prices.
In connection with our acquisition of CRI, (see Note 4), we are required to pay three annual
installments of $25 million, onethe first of which was paid in the fourth
quarter of fiscalMay 2000. In the
normal course of business, we enter into leases for new or expanded facilities
in both domestic and internationalglobal locations. We also evaluate, on an ongoing basis,
the merits of acquiring technology or businesses, or establishing strategic
relationships with and investing in other companies. Accordingly, it is possible
that we may decide to use cash and cash equivalents to fund such activities in
the future.
For example, if we exercise our option to purchase
VFSC (see Note 11) and elect to pay all or a significant portion of the exercise
price in cash, this would have a negative impact on our liquidity.
We believe that our unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be
sufficient to meet anticipated seasonal working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next twelve months.

RISKS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The factors discussed below are cautionary statements that identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. Our fiscal 2000
The following is a Year 2000 readiness disclosure underForm 10-K contains additional details about these risks, as well as other risks
that could affect future results.
If we do not continue to successfully refine and update the Year 2000
Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.
Intuit established a Year 2000 Project Office to address the impact of the year
2000 date transition on its operations,business models for
our Internet--based products and services globally. We
adoptedand other emerging business, and
operationally support these businesses, the businesses will not achieve
sustainable financial viability or broad customer acceptance. Our business
models for our Internet-based businesses and other emerging businesses have more
complex and varied revenue streams than our traditional desktop software
businesses. For these businesses to become and remain economically viable, we
must continually refine their revenue models to reflect evolving economic
circumstances. These businesses also depend on a five-phase approach for reviewingdifferent operational
infrastructure than our desktop software businesses, and preparingwe must continually
develop, expand and modify internal systems and procedures to support these
businesses. In particular, our web-based tax preparation and electronic filing
services must continue to effectively handle extremely heavy customer demand
during the significant
elements of operations, products and services for the Year 2000 date transition.
Through the date of this filing, we have had no major Y2K-related issues. In
addition, all substantive claims in the lawsuits filed against Intuit in
connection with alleged Y2K problems with our products and services have been
dismissed, with only one possible appeal remaining. Customers can find Intuit's
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure about our products, and order free solutions,
where required, on our Corporate Year 2000 Resource Center at
www.intuit.com/y2k.
Costs directly attributed to our Year 2000 project were approximately $6.5
million in fiscal 1999. We currently anticipate direct costs in the range of $8
to $12 million for fiscal year 2000, including costs associated with ongoing
maintenance and support activity in fiscal year 2000, and including costs
associated with the manufacture and
-25-
26
distribution of free solutions for products that are not Year 2000 compliant or
in certain cases that were not tested for Year 2000 compliance. For example, we
gave approximately 350,000 of our QuickBooks online customers free upgrades to
bring them into Y2K compliance. We don't know how many of those customers would
have paid for a new product if we had not provided the free upgrade, sopeak tax season. If we are unable to precisely quantifymeet customer expectations in a
cost-effective manner, it could result in lost customers, negative publicity,
and increased operating costs, which could have a significant negative impact on
the amountfinancial and market success of lost revenue duethese businesses.
The market pressure to launch Internet-based products and services quickly may
lead to lower product quality. The development process for Internet-based
products is more rapid, less predictable, and shorter than for our desktop
products. Getting Internet-based products and services launched quickly is
crucial to competitive success, but this time pressure may result in lower
product quality, dissatisfied customers and negative publicity, as well as
additional expenses to fix bugs.
We face intense competition for qualified employees, especially for our
Internet-based businesses. Like many of our competitors, we have had
difficulties during the past few years in hiring and retaining employees, and we
expect to face continuing challenges in recruiting and retention.
We face risks relating to customer privacy and security and increasing
regulation, which could hinder the growth of our businesses -- particularly our
Internet-based businesses. Despite our efforts to address customer concerns
about privacy and security, these issues still pose a significant risk, and we
have experienced lawsuits and negative publicity relating to privacy issues. For
example, during fiscal 2000, there have been articles criticizing our privacy
practices as they relate to the free
upgrades. However, this action did leadconnectivity of our desktop software to our web
sites. We have faced lawsuits and negative press alleging that we improperly
shared information about customers with third party "ad servers" for our web
sites. A major breach of customer privacy or security by Intuit, or even by
another company, could have serious consequences for our businesses --
particularly our Internet businesses including reduced customer interest and/or
additional regulation by federal or state agencies. In addition, mandatory
privacy and security standards and protocols are still being developed by
government agencies, and we may incur significant expenses to comply with any
requirements that are ultimately adopted. For example, under the Gramm Leach
Bliley Act recently adopted by the federal government, by July 1, 2001 Intuit
will be required to provide written notice of its privacy practices to all
customers. We must give customers an opportunity to state their preferences
regarding Intuit's use of their non-public personal information, and we must
honor those preferences. If Internet use does not grow as a result of privacy or
security concerns, increasing regulation or for other reasons, the growth of our
Internet-based businesses would be hindered.
If we cannot fully and successfully implement our announced QuickBooks Internet
Gateway Services in a timely fashion, we may be unable to sustain these services
as a successful business. Development of some of the announced QuickBooks
Internet Gateway services has not yet been completed. Intuit and the
third--party service providers of these services could face technological
difficulties, financial difficulties and other problems that could delay or
prevent implementation of the QuickBooks Internet Gateway Services, which in
turn could delay or prevent us from recognizing contractually committed revenues
to the extent that recognition of such revenue depends on implementation with
the customer.
-25-
26
If our recently introduced QuickBooks Internet Gateway services do not achieve
and maintain acceptance by customers and the third-party vendors who provide
these services, they will not generate long-term revenue growth or
profitability. We must meet customer and vendor expectations in delivering our
QuickBooks Internet Gateway services. If we do not meet these expectations, we
may not be able to maintain the third party vendor relationships that are
necessary to allow us to provide services desired by customers. If we experience
significant failures in meeting expectations and maintaining important
relationships, our ability to expand our QuickBooks Internet Gateway services
will be jeopardized. Intuit is refining its approach to selecting and working
with QuickBooks Gateway vendors, and we are in the process of ending
relationships with between three to five of our alliance companies where the
business results are not meeting our expectations or theirs. To retain other
relationships, we may be required to adapt them in ways that are less attractive
to us, financially or otherwise. In addition, QuickBooks Internet Gateway
Services are currently available only to customers using QuickBooks 2000 or the
newly announced QuickBooks 2001. Customer upgrade rates to QuickBooks 2000 were
lower than historical upgrade levels, which impacted the growth of the potential
customer base for these services.
In order to expand our customer base in the payroll services business, we must
continue to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our payroll processing
operations and streamline customer activations for our Deluxe online payroll
processing service. The payroll processing business involves a number of
business risks if we make errors in providing accurate and timely payroll
information, cash deposits or tax return filings, including our incurring
liability to customers, additional expense to correct product errors and loss of
customers. For our Internet-based services (the Deluxe service, as well as the
online Basic service), we must improve our operations to give customers more
reliable connectivity to our data center to transmit and receive payroll data
and tax tables. In order to expand the customer base for our Deluxe payroll
service, we must continue to focus on streamlining the service activation
process for new customers.
Our mortgage business is subject to interest rate fluctuations and operational
risks that could result in further revenue declines. Increases in mortgage rates
and other interest rates have adversely affected our mortgage business,
contributing to a significant revenue decline from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000.
If mortgage interest rates continue to rise, this may continue to impact the
volume of closed loans and applications -- particularly our most interest-rate
sensitive products such as conventional loans and refinancing loans. FHA loans
and home purchase mortgages tend to be less mortgage-rate sensitive.
Fluctuations in customer upgradesnon-mortgage interest rates also create risks with respect to
the loans on our balance sheet and resulting QuickBooks revenue forimpact our cost of funds to provide loans. In
addition, our ability to successfully streamline the third quarter of fiscal 2000,online application,
approval, and the
third quarter trend is expectedclosing process will have a significant impact on our ability to
attract customers to our mortgage service, and on our ability to continue
intoincreasing the fourth quarter.percentage of our mortgage revenue generated through the online
channel compared to branch offices. We must also maintain relationships with
certain banks and other third parties who we will rely on to provide access to
capital, and later, service the loans. If we are experiencingunable to do so, it could have
a similar pattern in fiscal 2000 quarterly revenue for Quicken,

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
We do not hold derivative financial instruments in our short-term investment
portfolio. Our short-term investments consist of instruments that meet high quality
standards consistent with our investment policy. This policy dictates that we
diversify our holdings and limit our short-term investments to a maximum of $5
million to any one issuer. Our policy also dictates that all short-term
investments mature in 30 months or less.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES
We also carrycarried significant balances in marketable equity securities as of
April

to their volatility. Fluctuations in the carrying value of our shares of

earnings because we report these shares as trading securities. See Note 1 of the
financial statement notes for more information regarding risks related to our
investments in marketable securities.securities and the impact of our trading securities on

INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk represents a component of market risk to us and represents
the possibility that changes in interest rates will cause unfavorable changes in
our net income and in the value of our interest rate sensitive assets,
liabilities and commitments.commitments, particularly those that relate to our mortgage
business. In a higher interest rate environment, borrower demand for mortgage
loans declines.declines, adversely affecting our mortgage loan business. Interest rate
movements also affect the interest income earned on loans we hold for sale in
the secondary market, interest expense on our lines of credit, the value of our
mortgage loans we hold for
sale in the secondary market and ultimately the gain or loss on the sale of those mortgage
loans. In addition, interest rate movements affect the interest income earned on
investments we hold in our short-term investment portfolio and the value of
those investments.
As part of our risk management programs, we enter into financial agreements and
purchase financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage our

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY RATE CHANGES
DuringWhile the Japanese yen strengthened during fiscal 1999, the currency of our Japanese subsidiary strengthened while2000, the currencies of our
other subsidiaries remained essentially stable. As of
April 30, 2000, the currency of our Japanese subsidiary has continued to
strengthen and the currencies of our other subsidiaries have remained
essentially stable since the end of our 1999 fiscal year. Because we translate foreign
currencies into U.S dollars for reporting purposes, currency fluctuations can
have an impact, though generally immaterial, on our results. We believe that our
exposure to currency exchange fluctuation risk is insignificant primarily
because our internationalglobal subsidiaries invoice customers and satisfy their financial
obligations almost exclusively in their local currencies. For the quarter ended
April 30,October 31, 2000, there was an immaterial currency exchange impact from our
intercompany transactions. Currency exchange risk is also minimized since
foreign debt is due almost exclusively in local foreign currencies. As of
April 30,October 31, 2000, we did not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intuit was a defendant in a consolidated class action lawsuit in California
which alleged that certain of its Quicken products have on-line banking
functions that are not Year 2000 compliant. On October 13, 1999 the court
dismissed the case without leave to amend. In May 2000, plaintiffs were awarded

fees award, this case will be over.
On March 3, 2000 a class action lawsuit, Bruce v. Intuit Inc., was filed in the
United States District Court, Central District of California, Eastern Division.
Two virtually identical lawsuits were later filed: Rubin v. Intuit Inc., was
filed on March 8, 2000 in the United States District Court, Southern District of
New York and Newby v. Intuit Inc. was filed on April 27, 2000, in the United
States District Court, Central District of California, Eastern Division. The
Bruce and Newby lawsuits were consolidated into one lawsuit, In re Intuit
Privacy Litigation, filed on July 28, 2000 in the United States District Court
of California, Eastern Division. A similar lawsuit, Almanza v. Intuit Inc. was
filed on March 22, 2000 in the Superior Court of State of California, San
Bernadino County, Rancho Cucamonga Division. The Almanza complaint was amended
on October 26, 2000. These purported class actions allege violations of various
federal and California statutes and common law claims for invasion of privacy
based upon the alleged intentional disclosure to third parties of personal and
private customer information entered at Intuit's Quicken.com website. The
complaints seek injunctive relief, orders to disgorge profits related to the
alleged acts, and statutory and other damages. To date,Intuit believes these lawsuits
are without merit and intends to defend the Rubin complaint has not been served.
In addition, on April 19, 2000, Bosch v. Intuit Inc. was filed in the Superior
Court, State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central District. This
lawsuit alleges violations of California statutes for alleged false and
deceptive

Intuit is subject to other legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and
claimsthreatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business. We
currently believe that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending
actionsclaims of any type (either alone or combined) will not materially affect our
financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the ultimate
outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and either unfavorable or favorable
outcomes could have a material negative impact. Regardless of outcome,
litigation can have an adverse impact on Intuit because of defense costs,
diversion of management resources and other factors.
