Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Intuit Inc. provides business and financial management solutions for small businesses, consumers, accounting professionals and financial institutions. With flagship products and services that include QuickBooks, TurboTax and Quicken, we help customers solve important financial management problems, such as running a small business, paying bills, filing income tax returns, and managing personal finances. ProSeries and Lacerte are Intuit’s tax preparation offerings for professional accountants. Our Financial Services business provides digital banking solutions 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. We have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which we considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented.

We acquired Demandforce, Inc. in May 2012 and we have included the results of operations for that business in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. As discussed in Note 4, we sold our Intuit Websites business in September 2012. We have reclassified our financial statements for all periods prior to the sale to reflect that business as discontinued operations. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.

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, 2012. Results for the nine months ended April 30, 2013 do not necessarily indicate the results we expect for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2013 or any other future period.

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. During these quarters, revenue from our tax businesses is minimal while core operating expenses such as research and development 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, 2012. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies during the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

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, 2013 or April 30, 2012. No customer accounted for 10% or more of gross accounts receivable at April 30, 2013 or July 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)"

In February 2013 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to require reporting entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, reporting entities will be required to present, either on the face of the statement of operations or in the footnotes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by statement of operations line item. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which means that it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2013. We do not believe that adoption of ASU 2013-02 will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
