NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The 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. We have reclassified certain other amounts previously reported in our financial statements to conform to the current presentation. As discussed in Note 5, in August 2004 management formally approved a plan to sell our Intuit Public Sector Solutions business. Accordingly, we have reclassified our financial statements for all periods presented to reflect IPSS as discontinued operations. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.

We have included all normal recurring adjustments and the adjustments for discontinued operations that we considered necessary to give a fair presentation of our operating results for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 included in Intuit’s Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2004. Results for the three months ended October 31, 2004 do not necessarily indicate the results we expect for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2005 or any other future period. Our tax and QuickBooks-Related businesses are highly seasonal, with sales of tax preparation products and services heavily concentrated in the period from November through April and QuickBooks software license renewals revenue concentrated around calendar year end. These seasonal patterns mean that our quarterly total net revenue is usually highest during our second and third fiscal quarters.

Use of Estimates

We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures made in the accompanying notes. For example, we use estimates in determining the appropriate levels of reserves for product returns and rebates, the collectibility of accounts receivable, the appropriate levels of various accruals, the amount of our worldwide tax provision and the realizability of deferred tax assets. We also use estimates in determining the remaining economic lives and carrying values of purchased intangible assets (including goodwill), property and equipment and other long-lived assets. In addition, we use assumptions when employing the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted for pro forma disclosures. See Note 1, “Stock-Based Incentive Programs.” Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from our estimates.

Net Revenue

We derive revenue from the sale of packaged software products, license fees, product support, professional services, outsourced payroll services, merchant services, transaction fees and multiple element arrangements that may include any combination of these items. We recognize revenue for software products and related services in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as modified by SOP 98-9. For other offerings, we follow Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, we have delivered the product or performed the service, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.

-6-

In some situations, we receive advance payments from our customers. We also offer multiple element arrangements to our customers. We defer revenue associated with these advance payments and the fair value of undelivered elements until we ship the products or perform the services. Deferred revenue consisted of the following at the dates indicated:

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Product,” we account for cash consideration (such as sales incentives) that we give to our customers or resellers as a reduction of revenue rather than as an operating expense unless we receive a benefit that we can identify and for which we can reasonably estimate the fair value.

Product Revenue

We recognize revenue from the sale of our packaged software products and supplies when we ship the products or, in the case of certain agreements, when products are delivered to retailers. We sell some of our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax and Quicken products on consignment to a limited number of resellers. We recognize revenue for these consignment transactions only when the end-user sale has occurred.

We reduce product revenue from distributors and retailers for estimated returns that are based on historical returns experience and other factors, such as the volume and price mix of products in the retail channel, return rates for prior releases of the product, trends in retailer inventory and economic trends that might impact customer demand for our products (including the competitive environment and the timing of new releases of our product). We also reduce product revenue for the estimated redemption of rebates on certain current product sales. Our estimated reserves for distributor and retailer sales incentive rebates are based on distributors’ and retailers’ actual performance against the terms and conditions of rebate programs, which we typically establish annually. Our reserves for end user rebates are estimated based on the terms and conditions of the specific promotional rebate program, actual sales during the promotion, the amount of redemptions received and historical redemption trends by product and by type of promotional program.

Service Revenue

We recognize revenue from outsourced payroll processing and payroll tax filing services as the services are performed, provided we have no other remaining obligations to these customers. We generally require customers to remit payroll tax 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 when we collect these funds from customers and when we remit the funds to outside parties.

We offer several technical support plans and recognize support revenue over the life of the plans. Service revenue also includes Web services such as TurboTax for the Web and electronic tax filing services in both our Consumer Tax and Professional Tax segments. Service revenue for electronic payment processing services that we provide to merchants is recorded net of interchange fees charged by credit card associations because we do not control these fees. Finally, service revenue includes revenue from consulting and training services, primarily in our Intuit-Branded Small Business segment. We generally recognize revenue as these services are performed, provided that we have no other remaining obligations to these customers and that the services performed are not essential to the functionality of delivered products and services.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from revenue-sharing arrangements with third-party service providers and from online advertising agreements. We recognize transaction fees from revenue-sharing arrangements as end-user sales are reported to us by these partners. We typically recognize revenue from online advertising agreements as the lesser of when the advertisements are displayed or pro rata based on the contractual time period of the advertisements.

-7-

Multiple Element Arrangements

We enter into certain revenue arrangements for which we are obligated to deliver multiple products and/or services (multiple elements). For these arrangements, which generally include software products, we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered elements based on their vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value. VSOE is generally the price charged when that element is sold separately.

In situations where VSOE exists for all elements (delivered and undelivered), we allocate the total revenue to be earned under the arrangement among the various elements, based on their relative fair value. For transactions where VSOE exists only for the undelivered elements, we defer the full fair value of the undelivered elements and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered items as revenue. If VSOE does not exist for undelivered items that are services, then we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the remaining service period. If VSOE does not exist for undelivered elements that are specified products or features, we defer revenue until the earlier of the delivery of all elements or the point at which we determine VSOE for these undelivered elements.

We recognize revenue related to the delivered products or services only if: (1) the above revenue recognition criteria are met; (2) any undelivered products or services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered products and services; (3) payment for the delivered products or services is not contingent upon delivery of the remaining products or services; and (4) we have an enforceable claim to receive the amount due in the event that we do not deliver the undelivered products or services.

For arrangements where undelivered services are essential to the functionality of delivered software, we recognize both the product license revenue and service revenue under the percentage of completion contract method in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts.” To date, product license and service revenues recognized pursuant to SOP 81-1 have not been significant.

Shipping and Handling

We record the amounts we charge our customers for the shipping and handling of our software products as product revenue and we record the related costs as cost of product revenue on our statement of operations. Product revenue from shipping and handling is not significant.

Per Share Computations

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 and vested restricted stock awards. In loss periods, basic and diluted loss per share are identical since the effect of common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.

For the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 we excluded 10.0 million and 10.8 million common equivalent shares from our diluted per share computations because we experienced net losses in those periods.

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. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds in all periods presented. Short-term investments consist of available-for-sale debt securities that we carry at fair value. We use the specific identification method to compute gains and losses on short-term investments. We include unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments, net of tax, in stockholders’ equity. 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, stock repurchase programs and acquisition opportunities, 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.

-8-

Funds Held for Payroll Customers and Payroll Customer Fund Deposits

Funds held for payroll customers represent cash held on behalf of our payroll customers that is invested in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Payroll customer fund deposits consist primarily of payroll taxes we owe on behalf of our payroll customers.

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 the cost of identified intangible assets on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from two to seven years.

We regularly perform reviews to determine if the carrying values of our long-lived assets are impaired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we review goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives for impairment at least annually in our fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we review intangible assets that have finite useful lives and other long-lived assets when an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. In our reviews, we look for facts or circumstances, either internal or external, indicating that we may not recover the carrying value of the asset. We measure impairment losses related to long-lived assets based on the amount by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceed their fair values. Our measurement of fair value is generally based on a blend of an analysis of the present value of estimated future discounted cash flows and a comparison of revenue and operating income multiples for companies of similar industry and/or size. Our analysis is based on available information and 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.

Stock-Based Incentive Programs

We provide equity incentives to our employees and to our Board members. We apply the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in accounting for stock-based incentives. Accordingly, we are not required to record compensation expense when stock options are granted to eligible participants as long as the exercise price is not less than the fair market value of the stock when the option is granted. We are also not required to record compensation expense in connection with our Employee Stock Purchase Plan as long as the purchase price of the stock is not less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning of each offering period or at the end of each purchase period.

In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” and in December 2002 the FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” Although these pronouncements allow us to continue to follow the APB 25 guidelines and not record compensation expense for most employee stock-based awards, we are required to disclose our pro forma net income or loss and net income or loss per share as if we had adopted SFAS 123 and SFAS 148. The pro forma impact of applying SFAS 123 and SFAS 148 in the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 does not necessarily represent the pro forma impact in future quarters or years.

On March 31, 2004 the FASB issued its exposure draft, “Share-Based Payment,” which is a proposed amendment to SFAS 123. The exposure draft would require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and purchases under employee stock purchase plans, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The FASB expects to issue a final standard late in 2004 that would be effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We have not yet assessed the impact of adopting this new standard.

To determine the pro forma impact of applying SFAS 123, we estimate the fair value of our options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model also requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Our stock options have characteristics significantly

-9-

different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

Assumptions used for the valuation model are set forth below. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we estimated the volatility factors for stock options and for our Employee Stock Purchase Plan using the historical volatility of our stock over the most recent five-year period. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we estimated the volatility factor for stock options using the historical volatility of our stock over the most recent three-year period, which is approximately equal to the average expected life of our options. Also beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we estimated the volatility factor for our Employee Stock Purchase Plan using the historical volatility of our stock over the most recent one-year period, which is equal to the length of the offering periods under that plan.

The following table illustrates the effect on our net income or loss and net income or loss per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based incentives using the Black Scholes valuation model. For purposes of this reconciliation, we add back to previously reported net income or loss all stock-based incentive expense we have recorded that relates to acquisitions. We then deduct the pro forma stock-based incentive expense determined under the fair value method for all awards including those that relate to acquisitions. The pro forma stock-based incentive expense has no impact on our cash flow. In the future, we may elect or be required to use a different valuation model, which could result in a significantly different impact on our pro forma net income or loss.

-10-

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Suppliers

We operate 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 significant balance of short-term investments and funds held for payroll customers. Our portfolio of short-term investments consists of investment-grade securities and our funds held for payroll customers consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment-grade securities. Except for direct obligations of the United States government, securities issued by agencies of the United States government, and money market or cash management funds, we diversify our short-term investments by limiting our holdings with any individual issuer.

We sell a significant portion of our products through third-party retailers and distributors. As a result, we face risks related to the collectibility of our accounts receivable. To appropriately manage this risk, we perform ongoing evaluations of customer credit and limit the amount of credit extended as we deem appropriate but generally do not require collateral. We maintain reserves for estimated credit losses and these losses have historically been within our expectations. However, since we cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our reserves will continue to be adequate.

We sell a significant proportion of our software products directly to many retailers rather than through a few major distributors. No distributor or individual retailer accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2004 or 2003, nor did any customer account for 10% or more of accounts receivable at October 31, 2004 or July 31, 2004. Amounts due from the purchaser of our former Quicken Loans mortgage business under certain licensing and distribution agreements comprised 10.3% of accounts receivable at July 31, 2004. Amounts due from the purchaser of Quicken Loans at October 31, 2004 were nominal.

We rely on three third-party vendors to perform the manufacturing and distribution functions for our primary retail desktop software products. We also have a key single-source vendor for our financial supplies business that prints and fulfills orders for all of our checks and most other products for our financial supplies business. While we believe that relying heavily on key vendors improves the efficiency and reliability of our business operations, relying on any one vendor for a significant aspect of our business can have a significant negative impact on our revenue and profitability if that vendor fails to perform at acceptable service levels for any reason, including financial difficulties of the vendor.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On October 22, 2004 the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was signed into law by the President. This Act included tax relief for domestic manufacturers, which includes producers of computer software, by providing a tax deduction of 3% for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2004 and 2005, 6% for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and 9% for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2009. The deduction percentage is applied against the lesser of “qualified production activities income” or taxable income. Any tax rate benefit from this law change will take effect beginning in our fiscal 2006. However, we are awaiting clarifying guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department to determine if we will qualify for this deduction. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance in FASB Staff Position FAS 109-a providing that this deduction should be accounted for as a special deduction and not as a tax rate reduction. In addition, the Act provided for a special one-time tax deduction for foreign earnings that are repatriated. We do not expect to receive any benefit from this portion of the Act.

2. Short-Term Investments and Funds Held for Payroll Customers

As discussed in Note 1, “Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Suppliers,” our portfolio of short-term investments consists of investment-grade securities and our funds held for payroll customers consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment-grade securities. Except for direct obligations of the United States government, securities issued by agencies of the United States government, and money market or cash management funds, we diversify our short-term investments by limiting our holdings with any individual issuer.

-11-

The following table summarizes our short-term investments and funds held for payroll customers at the dates indicated.

Gross unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities were as follows at the dates indicated:

The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses related to 114 available-for-sale debt securities, aggregated by type of investment and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at October 31, 2004:

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. At October 31, 2004 we believe that the investments that we hold are not other-than-temporarily impaired. While certain available-for-sale debt securities have fair values that are below cost, we believe that it is probable that principal and interest will be collected in accordance with contractual terms, and that the decline in market value is due to changes in interest rates and not due to increased credit risk.

-12-

Gross realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities were as follows for the periods indicated:

The following table summarizes our available-for-sale debt securities held in short-term investments and funds held for payroll customers, classified by the stated maturity date of the security:

3. Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment during the three months ended October 31, 2004 were as follows. Our reportable segments are described in Note 6.

We summarize the following expenses on the acquisition-related charges line on our statement of operations:

At October 31, 2004 we expected amortization of our purchased intangible assets by fiscal period to be as shown in the following table. Amortization of purchased intangible assets is charged primarily to amortization of purchased

-13-

software in cost of revenue and to acquisition-related charges in operating expenses on our statement of operations. Future acquisitions could cause these amounts to increase. In addition, if impairment events occur they could accelerate the timing of charges.

4. Comprehensive Net Income (Loss)

SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive net income (loss) and its components in stockholders’ equity. SFAS 130 requires the components of other comprehensive income (loss), such as changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities and foreign translation adjustments, to be added to our net income (loss) to arrive at comprehensive net income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) items have no impact on our net income (loss) as presented on our statement of operations.

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, were as follows:

-14-

Comprehensive net loss was as follows for the periods indicated:

5. Discontinued Operations

In August 2004 management formally approved a plan to sell our Intuit Public Sector Solutions (IPSS) business, which is part of our Intuit-Branded Small Business segment. In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” we determined that IPSS became a long-lived asset held for sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. SFAS 144 provides that a long-lived asset classified as held for sale should be measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Since the carrying value of IPSS at October 31, 2004 approximated the fair value less cost to sell, no adjustment to the carrying value of this long-lived asset was necessary during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. In accordance with SFAS 144, we discontinued the amortization of IPSS intangible assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Also in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, we determined that IPSS became a discontinued operation during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Consequently, we have segregated the net assets, operating results and cash flows of IPSS from continuing operations on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for all periods presented. Revenue for IPSS was $2.8 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003. Loss before income taxes for IPSS was $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the same periods. The net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended October 31, 2004 included a $3.4 million income tax provision for the estimated tax payable in connection with the expected tax gain on the sale of IPSS.

On December 3, 2004 we sold IPSS to Kintera, Inc., a California software company, for approximately $11 million. We do not expect a material gain or loss on the sale of IPSS for financial reporting purposes.

6. Industry Segment and Geographic Information

SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for the way in which public companies disclose certain information about operating segments in their financial reports. Consistent with SFAS 131, we have defined five reportable segments, described below, based on factors such as how we manage our operations and how our chief operating decision maker views results. We define the chief operating decision maker as the office of the chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our Board of Directors.

QuickBooks-Related product revenue is derived primarily from QuickBooks desktop software products; QuickBooks do-it-yourself payroll, a family of products sold on a subscription basis offering payroll tax tables, forms, electronic tax payment and filing, and in some cases QuickBooks software upgrades to small businesses that prepare their own payrolls; and financial supplies such as paper checks, envelopes and invoices. QuickBooks-Related service revenue is derived primarily from QuickBooks Online Edition, QuickBooks support plans and merchant services provided by our Innovative Merchant Solutions business. Other revenue for this segment consists primarily of royalties from small business online services.

Intuit-Branded Small Business product revenue is derived from business management software for information technology and three selected industries: wholesale durable goods; residential, commercial and corporate property management; and construction. Intuit-Branded Small Business service revenue is derived from technical support,

-15-

consulting and training services for those software products and from outsourced payroll services. Service revenue for this segment also includes interest earned on funds held for payroll customers.

Consumer Tax product revenue is derived primarily from TurboTax federal and state consumer desktop tax return preparation software. Consumer Tax service revenue is derived primarily from TurboTax for the Web online tax return preparation services and consumer electronic filing services.

Professional Tax product revenue is derived primarily from ProSeries and Lacerte professional tax preparation software products. Professional Tax service revenue is derived primarily from electronic filing, bank product transmission and training services.

Other Businesses consist primarily of Quicken and Canada. Quicken product revenue is derived primarily from Quicken desktop software products. Quicken other revenue consists primarily of fees from consumer online transactions and from Quicken-branded credit card and bill payment offerings that we provide through our partners. In Canada, product revenue is derived primarily from localized versions of QuickBooks and Quicken as well as QuickTax and TaxWiz consumer desktop tax return preparation software and ProFile professional tax preparation products. Service revenue in Canada consists primarily of revenue from software maintenance contracts sold with QuickBooks.

Our QuickBooks-Related, Consumer Tax and Professional Tax segments operate solely in the United States. All of our segments sell primarily to customers located in the United States. International total net revenue was less than 5% of consolidated total net revenue for all periods presented.

Corporate includes costs such as corporate general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to specific segments. In addition, corporate includes reconciling items such as acquisition-related costs, which include acquisition-related charges, impairment of goodwill and purchased intangible assets, amortization of purchased software and charges for purchased research and development. Corporate also includes realized net gains or losses on marketable securities and other investments, and interest and other income.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1. Except for goodwill and purchased intangible assets, we do not generally track assets by reportable segment and, consequently, we do not disclose assets by reportable segment.

-16-

The following tables show our financial results by reportable segment for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003.

-17-

7. Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities were as follows at the dates indicated:

8. Long-Term Obligations

Long-term obligations were as follows at the dates indicated:

9. Income Taxes

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 other taxable items. We recorded income tax benefits on pre-tax losses in the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2004 included benefits received from tax attributes identified during the quarter and a change in tax law during the quarter related to the retroactive extension of federal research and experimental credits and to the impact of recognizing these benefits in a quarter in which we had a net loss.

-18-

The following table reconciles our effective income tax rate to the statutory federal income tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003. Although the discrete items for the three months ended October 31, 2004 all reduced the tax owed, they increased the tax rate for the quarter because of the quarter’s pre-tax loss. For the full fiscal year 2005 these items are expected to reduce our effective tax rate by approximately one percentage point.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

Intuit’s Board of Directors has initiated a series of common stock repurchase programs. Shares of common stock repurchased under these programs become treasury shares. During the three months ended October 31, 2004 we repurchased 3.9 million shares of our common stock for $170.6 million under these programs. We repurchased 2.2 million shares of our common stock for $103.1 million under these programs during the three months ended October 31, 2003.

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.

-19-

Distribution and Dilutive Effect of Options

The following table shows option grants to Named Executives and to all employees for the periods indicated. Named Executives are defined as the Company’s chief executive officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers during the fiscal periods presented.

We define net option grants as options granted less options canceled or expired and returned to the pool of options available for grant. Options granted to our Named Executives as a percentage of the total options granted to all employees may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, due in part to the timing of annual performance-based grants to Named Executives.

11. Litigation

Muriel Siebert & Co., Inc. v. Intuit Inc., Index No. 03-602942, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.

On September 17, 2003, Muriel Siebert & Co., Inc. filed a complaint against Intuit alleging various claims for breach of contract, breach of express and implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation and/or fraud, and promissory estoppel. The allegations relate to Quicken Brokerage powered by Siebert, a strategic alliance between the two companies. The complaint seeks compensatory, punitive, and other damages. On September 22, 2003, Intuit filed an arbitration demand against Siebert & Co., Inc. in San Jose, California seeking arbitration of all claims asserted by both parties. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York has ruled that the matter should proceed in the New York state courts, but the matter is stayed while the court considers Intuit’s further appeal. Intuit believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the litigation vigorously in whichever forum it ultimately proceeds.

Intuit/Quicken Sunsetting Litigation, Master File No. 1-04-CV-016394, Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara (Anthony Flannery v. Intuit Inc., et al, Civil No. 1-04-CV-016394 and Daniel J. Mason v. Intuit Inc., et al, Civil No. 1-04-CV-018345).

On or about March 19, 2004, plaintiff Anthony Flannery, on his behalf and on behalf of a class of persons allegedly similarly situated, filed a complaint against Intuit in Santa Clara Superior Court, alleging that Intuit’s retirement of certain services and live technical support associated with its Quicken 1998, Quicken 1999 and Quicken 2000 products constituted a breach of express and implied warranties and violated sections 17200 and 17500 of the California Business and Professions Code, as well as the Consumer Legal Remedies Act. The complaint sought certification as a class action, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, disgorgement of profits, restitution, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees from Intuit.

On or about April 21, 2004, plaintiff Daniel Mason, on his behalf and on behalf of a class of persons allegedly similarly situated, filed a complaint against Intuit in Santa Clara Superior Court making allegations virtually identical

to those of Anthony Flannery. On July 14, 2004, the Court consolidated the two cases pursuant to stipulation of the parties.

On July 29, 2004, plaintiffs filed a consolidated First Amended Complaint. On October 8, 2004, Intuit responded to plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint by filing demurrers. By Order dated November 12, 2004, the Court granted the demurrers and dismissed all counts of the First Amended Complaint, holding that the plaintiffs failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The Court allowed plaintiffs until December 10, 2004 to file a Second Amended Complaint and counsel for the plaintiffs has indicated an intent to make such a filing. If plaintiffs file a Second Amended Complaint, Intuit will defend the litigation vigorously.

On or about May 24, 2004, plaintiff Cynthia Belotti, on her behalf and on behalf of a class of persons allegedly similarly situated, filed a complaint against the Company in Santa Clara Superior Court, alleging that Intuit’s retirement of certain add-on business services and live technical support associated with its QuickBooks 2001 and QuickBooks 2002 products constituted a breach of express and implied warranties and violated sections 17200 and 17500 of the California Business and Professions Code. The complaint sought certification as a class action, as well as damages, disgorgement of profits, restitution, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees from Intuit.

On or about July 13, 2004, plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint that added Ental Precision Machining, Inc., as plaintiff; plaintiffs’ counsel has also dismissed without prejudice all claims on behalf of Cynthia Belotti.

By Order dated November 12, 2004, the Court granted the demurrers and dismissed all counts of the First Amended Complaint, holding that plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The Court allowed plaintiff until December 10, 2004 to file a Second Amended Complaint and counsel for the plaintiff has indicated an intent to make such a filing.

Other Litigation Matters

Intuit is subject to certain routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business, including assertions that we may be infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others. We currently believe that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (either alone or combined) will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We also believe that we would be able to obtain any necessary licenses or other rights to disputed intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms. However, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and, regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on Intuit because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors. Our failure to obtain necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims could adversely affect our business.

Loans to Executive Officers and Other Employees

Prior to July 30, 2002, loans to executive officers were generally made in connection with their relocation and purchase of a residence near their new place of work. Consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation enacted on July 30, 2002, we have not made or modified any loans to executive officers since July 30, 2002 and we do not intend to make or modify any loans to executive officers in the future. At October 31, 2004, no loans were overdue and all interest payments were current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements.

Long-term loans to executive officers and other employees are a separate line item on our balance sheet. Certain loan amounts are due within twelve months and are therefore classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets on our balance sheet. Loans to executive officers, including these current amounts, were as follows at the dates indicated:

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We begin our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) with a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments underlying our financial statements. This is followed by a discussion of our Results of Operations that begins with an Overview followed by a more detailed discussion of our revenue and expenses. We then provide an analysis of our Liquidity and Capital Resources with a discussion of key aspects of our statements of cash flows, changes in our balance sheets, and our financial commitments. Following these discussions is the section entitled “Risks That Could Affect Future Results,” which details some important factors that may significantly impact our future financial performance. You should also note that this MD&A discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see the section entitled “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this Item 2 for important information to consider when evaluating such statements.

Our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax and Professional Tax businesses are highly seasonal. Some of our other offerings are seasonal, but to a lesser extent. Revenue from upgrades for many of our small business software products, including QuickBooks, tend to be concentrated around calendar year end. Sales of income tax preparation products and services are heavily concentrated in the period from November through April. These 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 to develop new products and services continue at relatively consistent levels.

You should read this MD&A in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 1. As discussed below, in August 2004 management formally approved a plan to sell our Intuit Public Sector Solutions (IPSS) business. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, we have classified IPSS as a discontinued operation. We have segregated the net assets, operating results and cash flows of IPSS from continuing operations on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion pertains only to our continuing operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a material impact on our net revenue, operating income or loss and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Senior management has discussed the selection and development of these critical policies and their disclosure in this Report with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Results of Operations

Overview

Total net revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2004 primarily due to growth in our QuickBooks-Related and Intuit-Branded Small Business segments. Revenue from merchant services, QuickBooks do-it-yourself payroll and outsourced payroll was higher in the fiscal 2005 period. Due to the seasonality of the tax business, revenue from our Consumer Tax and Professional Tax segments is nominal in our first fiscal quarter. The markets for many of our products are maturing and as a result we believe that our revenue growth is slowing. While we continue to develop new products and services to mitigate the impact of this slowing growth in the long term, we expect revenue growth to be in the 6% to 9% range for fiscal 2005.

Loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was lower than in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 due to the increase in total net revenue that was only partially offset by higher spending. Net loss (after tax) from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased more than loss from continuing operations due to a higher income tax benefit from tax attributes identified during the quarter and a change in tax law during the quarter, partially offset by lower interest and other income. Fiscal 2005 diluted net loss per share from continuing operations was lower in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2004 for the foregoing reasons partially offset by a net reduction of average shares outstanding resulting from repurchases of stock under our stock repurchase programs.

At October 31, 2004 our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $759.7 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005 we used cash primarily for repurchases of stock under our stock repurchase program, seasonal operating losses and the payment of accrued annual bonuses. We generated cash in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily by selling short-term investments and by issuing common stock under employee stock plans. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005 we bought 3.9 million shares of our common stock under our only active stock repurchase program at an average price of $43.21 for a total price of $170.6 million. At October 31, 2004, authorized funds of $329.4 million remained available under this stock repurchase program.
