Forward Looking Statements
Intuit’s statements regarding our belief that Intuit is well positioned for another successful tax year are forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from our expectations due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the inherent difficulty in accurately predicting consumer behavior; competition from other desktop software providers, Web-based competitors and tax preparation services; and the impact of competition from federal and state government supported initiatives that offer tax preparation services at no charge. In addition, we could experience operational difficulties in receiving, processing or filing customer submissions and consumers may not respond as we expect to our advertising and promotional activities. More information on potential factors that could impact our results are included in our public reports filed with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 and in our other SEC filings. You can locate these reports through our website at http://www.intuit.com/about_intuit/investors. Forward-looking statements are based on information as of Feb. 19, 2009, and we do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements or other information in this press release.

Unit Data and Estimates Used
The unit numbers reported are based on weekly reports received by Intuit from its retailers and distributors as well as the number of units provided directly by Intuit. The numbers included in these updates are preliminary and include estimates, including estimates of sales by merchants that do not report their sales to Intuit.
