[1] Because the cash flows of our Intuit Websites, Intuit Financial Services, and Intuit Health discontinued operations were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated the cash flows of those businesses on these statements of cash flows. We have presented the effect of the pre-tax gain on disposal of our Intuit Websites discontinued operations on the fiscal 2013 statement of cash flows. See Note 8, “Discontinued Operations,” for more information.
