NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Intuit Inc. provides business and financial management solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, consumers, accounting professionals and financial institutions. Our flagship products and services, including QuickBooks, Quicken and TurboTax, simplify small business management and payroll processing, personal finance, and tax preparation and filing. ProSeries and Lacerte are Intuit’s tax preparation offerings for professional accountants. Our Financial Services business provides online banking solutions and services to banks and credit unions. Incorporated in 1984 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, we sell our products and services primarily in the United States.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Intuit and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation. In November 2009 we acquired Mint Software Inc. for total consideration of approximately $170 million and in May 2010 we acquired Medfusion, Inc. for total consideration of approximately $89 million. We have included the results of operations for Mint and Medfusion in our consolidated results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. In January 2010 we sold our Intuit Real Estate Solutions (IRES) business. We have reclassified our financial statements for all periods prior to the sale to reflect IRES as discontinued operations. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.

We have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items and the reclassifications for discontinued operations discussed above, which we considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. Results for the nine months ended April 30, 2011 do not necessarily indicate the results we expect for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2011 or any other future period.

We have reclassified certain amounts previously reported in our financial statements to conform to the current presentation, including amounts related to reportable segments and discontinued operations.

Seasonality

Our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax and Accounting Professionals businesses are highly seasonal. Revenue from our QuickBooks software products tends to be highest during our second and third fiscal quarters. Sales of income tax preparation products and services are heavily concentrated in the period from November through April. Seasonal patterns mean that our total net revenue is usually highest during our second quarter ending January 31 and third quarter ending April 30. We typically report losses in our first quarter ending October 31 and fourth quarter ending July 31, when revenue from our tax businesses is minimal while operating expenses continue at relatively consistent levels.

Significant Accounting Policies

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. As discussed below, on August 1, 2010 we adopted authoritative guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. There have been no other changes to our significant accounting policies during the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements

In October 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the accounting standards applicable to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that are outside the scope of industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance. This new guidance amends the criteria for allocating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The guidance also eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method.

We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on August 1, 2010, and therefore applied it to relevant revenue arrangements originating or materially modified on or after that date.

VSOE generally exists when we sell the deliverable separately and we are normally able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in these multiple-element arrangements; however, in certain limited instances VSOE cannot be established. This may be because we infrequently sell each element separately, do not price products within a narrow range, or have a limited sales history, such as in the case of our emerging market offerings. When VSOE cannot be established, we attempt to establish selling price for each element based on TPE. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately.

When we are unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, we use ESP in our allocation of arrangement consideration. We determine ESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors, including, but not limited to, geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices.

Our adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the timing and pattern of revenue recognition when applied to multiple-element arrangements because our multiple-element offerings are predominantly software or software-related and VSOE exists for most of these offerings.

Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic net income or loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income per share using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and upon the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) under the treasury stock method.

We include stock options with combined exercise prices, unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are less than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are less than the average market price for our common stock, in the calculation of diluted net income per share. We exclude stock options with combined exercise prices, unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are greater than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are greater than the average market price for our common stock, from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that must be paid to exercise stock options, the amount of compensation expense for future service that we have not yet recognized for stock options and RSUs, and the amount of tax benefits that will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the awards become deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are the same since the effect of potential common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.

The following table presents the composition of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods indicated.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

No customer accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue in the three or nine months ended April 30, 2011 or April 30, 2010. No customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at April 30, 2011 or July 31, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”

On May 12, 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). This update amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure.” ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, which means that it will be effective for our fiscal quarter beginning February 1, 2012. The new guidance is to be adopted prospectively and early adoption is not permitted. We do not believe that adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In addition, we consider and use all valuation methods that are appropriate in estimating the fair value of an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities. In general, the authoritative guidance requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of its fair value. The three levels of input defined by the authoritative guidance are as follows:

	•		Level 1 uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•		Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	•		Level 3 uses one or more significant inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the determination of fair value. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated, classified in accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above.

We value our Level 1 assets, consisting primarily of money market funds, using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Financial assets whose fair values we measure on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of municipal bonds, corporate notes and U.S. agency securities. We measure the fair values of these assets using quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments. Financial liabilities whose fair values we measure using Level 2 inputs consist of debt. See Note 8. We measure the fair value of our senior notes based on their trading prices and the interest rates we could obtain for other borrowings with similar terms. Financial assets whose fair values we measure using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs consist of municipal auction rate securities that are no longer liquid. These securities are included in long-term investments on our balance sheets at April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010 based on the maturities of the underlying securities. There were no significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended April 30, 2011.

The following table presents a reconciliation of activity for our Level 3 assets for the nine months ended April 30, 2011.

		Nine Months Ended
		April 30,
(In millions)		2011
Beginning balance		$	87
Settlements at par			(10	)
Ending balance		$	77

We estimated the fair values of these municipal auction rate securities at April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010 using a discounted cash flow model that we prepared. Using our discounted cash flow model we determined that the fair values of the municipal auction rate securities we held at April 30, 2011 were approximately equal to their par values. As a result, we recorded no decrease in the fair values of those securities for the nine months then ended. We do not intend to sell our municipal auction rate securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery at par, which may be at maturity. Based on our expected operating cash flows and our other sources of cash, we do not believe that the reduction in liquidity of our municipal auction rate securities will have a material impact on our overall ability to meet our liquidity needs.

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments and Funds Held for Customers

We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of AAA-rated money market funds in all periods presented. Investments consist of available-for-sale investment-grade debt securities that we carry at fair value. Funds held for customers consist of cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment-grade debt securities. Long-term investments consist primarily of municipal auction rate securities that we carry at fair value. See Note 2. Except for direct obligations of the United States government,

securities issued by agencies of the United States government, and money market funds, we diversify our investments by limiting our holdings with any individual issuer.

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents, investments and funds held for customers by balance sheet classification at the dates indicated.

We use the specific identification method to compute gains and losses on investments. We include realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities in interest and other income, net in our statements of operations. Gross realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010 were not significant. We accumulate unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheets. Gross unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities at April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010 were not significant.

We periodically review our investment portfolios to determine if any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. We believe that the investments we held at April 30, 2011 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. While 52 available-for-sale debt securities had fair values that were a total of $0.4 million below amortized cost at that date, we do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery at par, which may be at maturity. Two of these securities had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months at April 30, 2011. The unrealized losses at April 30, 2011 are due to changes in interest rates, including market credit spreads, and not due to increased credit risks associated with the specific securities.

The following table summarizes our available-for-sale debt securities classified by the stated maturity date of the security at the dates indicated.

		April 30, 2011								July 31, 2010
		Amortized								Amortized
(In millions)		Cost				Fair Value				Cost				Fair Value
Due within one year		$	283			$	283			$	432			$	433
Due within two years			182				183				365				366
Due within three years			109				110				164				164
Due after three years			135				135				682				682
Total available-for-sale debt securities		$	709			$	711			$	1,643			$	1,645

Available-for-sale debt securities due after three years in the table above included $77 million in municipal auction rate securities at April 30, 2011 and $87 million in municipal auction rate securities at July 31, 2010. See Note 2. Of the remaining available-for-sale debt securities, 83% and 89% had an interest reset date, put date or mandatory call date within two years of those dates.

4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

We add components of other comprehensive income, such as changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities and foreign currency translation adjustments, to our net income or loss to arrive at comprehensive net income or loss. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010, other comprehensive income was not significant.

The balances in accumulated other comprehensive income in the equity section of our balance sheets at April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010 consisted primarily of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and were not significant.

5. Business Combinations

We completed the business combinations described below during fiscal 2010. We have included the results of operations for each of them in our consolidated results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Their results of operations for periods prior to the dates of acquisition were not material, individually or in the aggregate, when compared with our consolidated results of operations. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management.

Medfusion, Inc.

On May 21, 2010 we acquired privately held Medfusion, Inc. for total consideration of approximately $89 million. The total consideration included approximately $10 million for the fair value of cash retention bonuses that is being charged to expense over a three year service period. Medfusion is a provider of online patient-to-provider communication solutions and became part of our Other Businesses segment. We acquired Medfusion to expand our online healthcare offerings in support of our Connected Services strategy.

Under the acquisition method of accounting we allocated the fair value of the total consideration transferred to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. We recorded the excess of consideration over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. Using information available at the time the acquisition closed, we allocated approximately $8 million of the consideration to net tangible liabilities and approximately $23 million of the consideration to identified intangible assets. We recorded the excess consideration of approximately $62 million as goodwill, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The identified intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted average life of six years.

Mint Software Inc.

On November 2, 2009 we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Mint Software Inc. for total consideration of approximately $170 million. The total consideration included approximately $24 million for cash retention bonuses and the fair value of assumed equity awards and Intuit common stock issued to the holder of Mint Series D Preferred Stock. The total of $24 million is being charged to expense over a three year service period. Mint is a provider of online personal finance services and became part of our Other Businesses segment. We acquired Mint to expand our online personal finance offerings in support of our Connected Services strategy.

Under the acquisition method of accounting we allocated the fair value of the total consideration transferred to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. We recorded the excess of consideration over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. Using information available at the time the acquisition closed, we allocated approximately $1 million of the consideration to tangible assets and liabilities and approximately $43 million of the consideration to identified intangible assets. We recorded the excess consideration of approximately $102 million as goodwill, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The identified intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted average life of seven years.

6. Discontinued Operations

On January 15, 2010 we sold our Intuit Real Estate Solutions (IRES) business for approximately $128 million in cash and recorded a net gain on disposal of $35 million. The decision to sell IRES was a result of management’s desire to focus resources on Intuit’s core products and services. IRES was part of our Other Businesses segment.

We accounted for IRES as a discontinued operation and have therefore segregated the operating results of IRES from continuing operations in our statements of operations for all periods prior to the sale. For the nine months ended April 30, 2010, net revenue from IRES was $33 million and net income from IRES was less than $1 million, excluding the net gain on disposal. Because IRES operating cash flows were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows.

7. Current Liabilities

Current Portion of Long-Term Debt

The current portion of long-term debt consists of $500 million of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2012, less the unamortized discount. Because their contractual maturities are now within one year, we transferred these notes from long-term liabilities to current liabilities during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. See Note 8, “Long-Term Obligations — Long-Term Debt,” for more information.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On March 22, 2007 we entered into an agreement with certain institutional lenders for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility that will expire on March 22, 2012. Advances under the credit facility will accrue interest at rates that are equal to, at our election, either Citibank’s base rate or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin that ranges from 0.18% to 0.575% based on our senior debt credit ratings. The applicable interest rate will be increased by 0.05% for any period in which the total principal amount of advances and letters of credit under the credit facility exceeds $250 million. The agreement includes covenants that require us to maintain a ratio of total debt to annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and a ratio of annual EBITDA to interest payable of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with these covenants at April 30, 2011. We may use amounts borrowed under this credit facility for general corporate purposes or for future acquisitions or expansion of our business. To date we have not borrowed under this credit facility.

Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities were as follows at the dates indicated:

		April 30,				July 31,
(In millions)		2011				2010
Reserve for product returns		$	57			$	20
Reserve for rebates			48				11
Current portion of license fee payable			10				10
Current portion of deferred rent			7				7
Interest payable			7				21
Executive deferred compensation plan liabilities			54				43
Other			35				22
Total other current liabilities		$	218			$	134

The balances of several of our other current liabilities, particularly our reserves for product returns and rebates, are affected by the seasonality of our business. See Note 1, “Seasonality.”

8. Long-Term Obligations

Long-Term Debt

On March 12, 2007 we issued $500 million of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2012 and $500 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2017 (together, the Notes), for a total principal amount of $1 billion. We carried the Notes at face value less the unamortized discount of $2 million on our balance sheets at April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010. Because their contractual maturities are now within one year, we transferred the March 2012 notes from long-term liabilities to current liabilities during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Notes are redeemable by Intuit at any time, subject to a make-whole premium. The Notes include covenants that limit our ability to grant liens on our facilities and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, subject to significant allowances. We paid $56 million in cash for interest on the Notes during the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010.

Other Long-Term Obligations

Other long-term obligations were as follows at the dates indicated:

		April 30,				July 31,

Long-term obligations due after one year		$	204			$	158

9. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

We compute our provision for or benefit from income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income or loss from recurring operations and adding the effects of any discrete income tax items specific to the period. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2011 was approximately 35% and did not differ significantly from the statutory rate. State income taxes were substantially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction and the federal research and experimentation credit. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2010 was approximately 34%. In that quarter we recorded discrete tax benefits that were primarily related to foreign tax credit benefits associated with the distribution of profits from our non-U.S. subsidiaries and our plans to indefinitely reinvest substantially all remaining non-U.S. earnings in support of our international expansion plans. Excluding those discrete benefits, our effective tax rate for that period was approximately 37%. This differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction and the federal research and experimentation credit.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2011 was approximately 34%. Excluding discrete tax benefits primarily related to the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit as described below, our effective tax rate for that period was approximately 35% and did not differ significantly from the statutory rate. State income taxes were substantially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction and the federal research and experimentation credit. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 was approximately 34%. In that period we recorded discrete tax benefits as described above. Excluding those discrete tax benefits, our effective tax rate for that period was approximately 37%. This differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction and the federal research and experimentation credit.

In December 2010 the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Jobs Creation Act of 2010 was signed into law. The Act includes a reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit through December 31, 2011 that was

retroactive to January 1, 2010. We recorded a discrete tax benefit of approximately $9 million for the retroactive amount related to fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011 during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Other Considerations

The total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits at July 31, 2010 was $35 million. Net of related deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits were $30 million at that date. If we were to recognize these net benefits, our income tax expense would reflect a favorable net impact of $30 million. There were no material changes to these amounts during the nine months ended April 30, 2011. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that there will be a significant increase or decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Programs

Intuit’s Board of Directors has authorized a series of common stock repurchase programs. Shares of common stock repurchased under these programs become treasury shares. We repurchased 23.3 million shares for $1.11 billion under these programs during the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 24.6 million shares for $750 million under these programs during the nine months ended April 30, 2010. At April 30, 2011, we had authorization from our Board of Directors to expend up to an additional $890 million for stock repurchases through August 16, 2013.

To facilitate the stock repurchase program described above, from time to time we repurchase shares in the open market. On January 3, 2011 we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a large financial institution to repurchase $250 million of Intuit’s common stock on an accelerated basis. We entered into this ASR agreement in order to repurchase shares at a guaranteed discount from the average price of our stock over a specified period of time. We had the contractual right to cancel the ASR agreement without any financial or other obligation at any time prior to February 2, 2011. On February 2, 2011 we paid $250 million to the financial institution and received an initial delivery of 4.2 million shares of Intuit common stock. On April 21, 2011 we received a final delivery of 0.7 million shares for a total of 4.9 million shares at $51.12 per share. The total number of shares delivered generally was determined by applying an agreed discount to the average of the daily volume weighted average price of Intuit common shares traded during the pricing period. We reflected the shares delivered to us by the financial institution as treasury shares as of the dates they were delivered in computing weighted average shares outstanding for both basic and diluted net income per share.

Repurchased shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares until they are reissued or retired. When we reissue treasury stock, if the proceeds from the sale are more than the average price we paid to acquire the shares we record an increase in additional paid-in capital. Conversely, if the proceeds from the sale are less than the average price we paid to acquire the shares, we record a decrease in additional paid-in capital to the extent of increases previously recorded for similar transactions and a decrease in retained earnings for any remaining amount.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes the total share-based compensation expense that we recorded for the periods shown.
