NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Basis of Presentation

Intuit Inc. (“Intuit”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. The financial statements include the financial statements of Intuit and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. 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 quarter ended October 31, 2001 do not necessarily indicate the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2002 or any other future period. These statements and accompanying notes should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001 included in Intuit’s Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2001.

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. Estimates are used for product returns and exchanges, reserves for rebates, the collectibility of accounts receivable, deferred taxes and other amounts. We also use estimates to determine the remaining economic lives and carrying value of goodwill, purchased intangibles, fixed assets and other long-lived assets. Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ from our estimates.

Net Revenue

For our shrink-wrapped software products, we recognize revenue upon shipment (which is when title passes), provided that collection is probable and we have no significant remaining obligations. We recognize revenue net of returns reserves based on historical experience. 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.

We recognize revenue from payroll processing and payroll tax filing services as the services are performed, provided we have no other obligations. We generally require our payroll tax customers to remit payroll tax liability funds to us in advance of the applicable payroll due date, via electronic funds transfer. We include in total net revenue the interest earned on invested balances resulting from timing differences between the collection of these funds from customers and the remittance of such funds to outside parties, because this interest income represents an integral part of the revenue generated from our services. We recognize this interest as it is earned. However, interest income generated from our cash and cash equivalents balance is included in other income because this interest income does not result from our operating activities.

We defer loan origination revenue and the associated commissions 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 interest income on mortgage loans held for sale as it is earned, and we recognize interest expenses on related borrowings as cost of revenue as we incur them.

We also offer several plans under which customers are charged for technical support assistance. For plans where we collect fees in advance, we recognize revenue over the life of the plan, which is generally one year. We include costs incurred for fee-for-support plans in cost of revenue.

Table of Contents

We recognize revenue from other products and services when it is earned based on the nature of the particular product or service. For products and services that we provide over a period of time, we recognize revenue pro rata based on the contractual time period. However, where we provide or deliver the product or service at a specific point in time, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the product or completion of the service.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs incurred with the shipping and handling of our shrink-wrapped software products are recorded as cost of products in our results of operations.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Customer service and technical support costs include the costs associated with performing order processing, answering customer inquiries through Web sites and other electronic means and providing free technical support assistance to customers by telephone. In connection with the sale of certain products, we provide a limited amount of free technical support assistance to customers. We do not defer the recognition of any revenue associated with sales of these products, since the cost of providing this free technical support and related customer service is insignificant. The technical support is provided within one year after the associated revenue is recognized and free product enhancements are minimal and infrequent. We accrue the estimated cost of providing this free support upon product shipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments consist of available-for-sale debt securities that are carried at fair value. Available-for-sale debt 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 businesses. Because of our significant business seasonality, cash flow requirements may fluctuate dramatically from quarter to quarter and require us to use a significant amount of the short-term investments held as available-for-sale securities. See Note 2 for more information about cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Marketable Securities and Other Investments

Our available-for-sale marketable securities are carried at fair value and we include unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, in stockholders’ equity. We use the specific identification method to account for gains and losses on marketable equity securities. Our other long-term investments are stated at cost. See Note 3 for more information about our marketable securities and other investments.

Goodwill, Purchased Intangible Assets, and Other Long-lived Assets

We record goodwill when the purchase price of net tangible and intangible assets we acquire exceeds their fair value. We amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years. We generally amortize the cost of identified intangibles on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 1 to 15 years.

We regularly perform reviews to determine if the carrying values of our long-lived assets are impaired. The reviews look for facts or circumstances, either internal or external, that indicate that the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered.

We measure impairment loss related to long-lived assets based on the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their fair values. Our measurement of fair value is generally based on an analysis of future discounted cash flows. In performing this analysis, we use the best information available in the circumstances, including reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. The discounted cash flow analysis considers the likelihood of possible outcomes and is based on our best estimate of projected future cash flows. If necessary, we perform subsequent calculations 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 market values for the assets were not available, we would calculate the fair value using the present value of estimated expected future discounted cash flows. The cash flow calculations, including the discount rate, would be based on management’s best estimates, using appropriate assumptions and projections at the time. In June 2001, FASB issued FAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In October

2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” We intend to implement both FAS 142 and FAS 144 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. See Note 1 for more information.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Intuit operates in markets that are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes, changes in customer requirements, the emergence of competitive products or services with new capabilities and other factors could negatively impact our operating results.

We are also subject to risks related to changes in the values of our marketable securities and private equity investments. See Note 3 for a discussion of risks associated with these assets. Our remaining investment portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of short-term investment-grade securities.

We sell a significant portion of our products through third-party resellers and distributors and, as a result, maintain one individually significant receivable balance with a major distributor. If the financial condition or operations of this distributor deteriorates substantially, our operating results could be adversely affected. We also face risks related to the collectibility of our trade accounts receivable. To appropriately manage this risk, we perform ongoing evaluations of customer credit. Generally, we do not require collateral. We maintain reserves for estimated credit losses and these losses have historically been within our expectations. However, since we cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our reserves will continue to be adequate.

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.

Loan commitments subject us to market risks and credit risks. Market risk is the risk that interest rates may rise after a loan commitment is made. To offset this risk on conventional mortgage loans and government-insured loans that are in process, we utilize mandatory forward sale commitments. At October 31, 2001, we had $259.9 million in mandatory forward sale commitments for future delivery of mortgages to Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Loan commitments, which are not reflected on the balance sheet, also involve credit risk relating to the customer. We use the same credit policies for making credit commitments as we do for the underlying loan product. See Note 5 for more information on loan commitments.

Recent Pronouncements

On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), “Business Combinations,” and No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

SFAS 141 supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations,” and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, thus requiring that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. The requirements of SFAS 141 apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

SFAS 142 supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets,” and provides that goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life will no longer be amortized. However, these assets must be reviewed at least annually for impairment. SFAS 142 applies to all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. For business combinations completed before July 1, 2001, we will adopt SFAS 142 effective August 1, 2002. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 142 on our financial position and statement of operations. We expect the adoption of SFAS 142 to reduce our amortization of goodwill and intangible expense significantly, commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2003. However, it is possible that in the future, we would incur less frequent, but larger, impairment charges related to the goodwill already recorded, as well as goodwill arising out of future acquisitions as we continue to expand our business.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which applies to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 supersedes FASB Statement 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets

to Be Disposed Of,” and portions of APB Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations.” SFAS 144 provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria for classifying an asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at the lower of fair value or carrying amount. SFAS 144 also requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as presently required. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of all our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. We report translation gains and losses as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations and were immaterial in all periods presented.

The following schedule summarizes the estimated fair value of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments:

The following table outlines the estimated fair value of Intuit’s available-for-sale debt securities held in short-term investments classified by the maturity date of the security:

We designated our investments in At Home Corporation (which does business as Excite@Home) and 724 Solutions as trading securities and fluctuations in the market value of these shares have been reported in the consolidated statement of operations. We sold all of the remaining shares of these securities during the quarter. The cost basis reflects adjustments for other than temporary impairments in value as well as sales of securities. We held the following available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2001 and October 31, 2001:

Our marketable securities, which are quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, are stocks of high technology companies whose market prices have been extremely volatile and have declined substantially during the past two years. These declines have resulted, and could continue to result, in a material reduction in the carrying value of these assets. This has a negative impact on our operating results. If our available-for-sale securities experience further declines in fair value that are considered other than temporary, we will reflect the additional loss in our consolidated statement of operations in the period when the subsequent impairment becomes apparent.

The fair values of our long-term investments have also declined substantially since our initial investments due to the volatility and economic downturn in the high technology industry.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2001, we sold 50,000 shares of S1 Corporation and recognized realized gains of $0.2 million. This gain was offset by a realized loss of $1.9 million recorded in connection with the sale of our options to purchase additional shares of S1. In addition, we sold 37,906 shares of 724 Solutions and 1,533,504 shares of Excite@Home and recognized aggregate realized losses of $0.1 million during the quarter ended October 31, 2001. We recorded a loss of $3.3 million for other-than-temporary declines in the value of our other investments and recognized losses of $1.5 million for our trading securities and $5.7 million for our other long-term investments to reflect the declines in valuation. This resulted in combined net losses on marketable securities and other investments of $12.3 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2001.

During fiscal 2001, we adopted FAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires us to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and record those instruments at fair value. In May 1999, we completed a $50 million investment (970,813 shares) in Security First Technologies, now known as S1 Corporation (“S1”). In connection with this agreement, we received options to purchase 4.8 million additional shares of S1 common stock, at a per-share purchase price of $51.50. These options contained a net-exercise feature. In August 2000, we recorded the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for derivatives for our 4.8 million S1 options held in long-term investments. This resulted in a one-time cumulative effect of $14.3 million, net of income taxes totaling $9.5 million. FAS 133 requires the derivatives to be carried at fair value, so subsequent fluctuations in the fair value of these options were included in our net loss. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001 these fluctuations resulted in a loss of $7.6 million net of income taxes, which decreased the basic and diluted net loss per share for the period by $0.04 per share. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we sold these options and recorded a realized loss of $1.9 million.

Goodwill and purchased intangible assets consisted of the following:

Balances presented above are net of total accumulated amortization of $598.1 million and $641.5 million at July 31, 2001 and October 31, 2001, respectively.

The following table summarizes loan commitments to extend credit at July 31, 2001 and October 31, 2001:

We compute basic income or loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted income or loss per share 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. We excluded options to purchase 15.9 million shares of common stock in our diluted per-share computation for the quarter ended October 31, 2001 and options to purchase 12.5 million shares of common stock in the computation for the quarter ended October 31, 2000, since we experienced losses in those quarters.

SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive net income and its components in stockholders’ equity. However, it has no impact on our net income or loss as presented in our financial statements. SFAS 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities to be included in comprehensive income.

The components of comprehensive net income, net of income taxes, are as follows:

We classify the following expenses as acquisition-related charges in our consolidated statements of operations:

In connection with the sale of our Quicken Bill Manager business in May 2001, we recorded a $27 million long-term asset related to future consideration from the purchasing company, which was recorded as “other assets” on the balance sheet. We are entitled to receive from the purchaser either (i) shares of its common stock in February 2002, (ii) cash payments of a minimum of $37 million paid in four equal annual installments of a minimum of $9.3 million per year, beginning in February 2002, or (iii) a combination of shares and cash, beginning in February 2002. As discussed in Note 1, we regularly perform reviews to determine if the carrying values of our long-lived assets are impaired. The reviews look for facts or circumstances, either internal or external, that indicate that the carrying value of an asset cannot be recovered. During the quarter ended October 31, 2001, events and circumstances indicated impairment of this asset. These indicators included the deterioration of the purchasing company’s financial position (including cash flows and liquidity) and the decreased likelihood that it will receive future funding. We considered the implied fair value of our investment based on the purchasing company’s most recent round of planned funding as well as the fair value of our investment if funding were received. Based on our analysis as described above, we recorded a charge of $27 million to reduce the carrying value of this asset its estimated fair value of zero.

As of October 31, 2001, we had one mortgage line of credit, which is reflected in escrow liabilities. Advances may be drawn for working capital and sub-prime and conventional prime mortgage loans, with the maximum amount based on a formula computation. Advances are due on demand and are collateralized by residential first and second mortgages. Interest is paid on a monthly basis. The maximum outstanding balance permitted under this line is $20 million. As of October 31, 2001, we had no balance outstanding under this line of credit.

Drafts payable represent funds advanced for mortgages originated, which have not yet been drawn against the line of credit.

SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for companies to disclose certain information about operating segments in the company’s financial reports. Consistent with SFAS 131, we have determined our five operating segments, described below, based on factors such as how our operations are managed and how results are viewed by our chief operating decision maker.

Intuit does not track assets by operating segments. Consequently, we do not disclose assets by operating segments. The following unaudited results for the quarters ended October 31, 2000 and 2001 are broken out by our operating segments. Prior quarter information has been reclassified to conform to the current quarter financial presentation for comparability.
