ITEM 2:  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         Disposition of Intuit Services Corporation

         On September 15, 1996 Intuit Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), Checkfree Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Checkfree"),
Checkfree Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation ("Acquisition")
and Intuit Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation that was then the
Company's wholly-owned online banking and bill payment processing subsidiary
("ISC"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 15,
1996, as amended (the "Merger Agreement").  The Merger Agreement provided for
the merger of Acquisition with and into ISC in a statutory merger (the
"Merger"), such that, upon the effectiveness of the Merger, Checkfree would
acquire all the outstanding stock of ISC in exchange for Checkfree's issuance
to the Company of 12,600,000 shares of Checkfree Common Stock (the "Checkfree
Shares") and ISC would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Checkfree.  The
number of Checkfree Shares issued to the Company in exchange for ISC was
determined by arms' length negotiations between the parties and their
respective assessments of the value of ISC and Checkfree Common Stock.
Checkfree is a leading provider of electronic commerce services, financial
application software and related products for financial institutions and
businesses and their customers and its Common Stock is publicly traded on the
Nasdaq National Market.  The provisions of the Merger Agreement and related
agreements described in this report are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the actual text of such agreements, which are incorporated by
reference as exhibits to this report.

         On January 27, 1997, the Merger, the Company's disposition of ISC to
Checkfree and Checkfree's issuance of the Checkfree Shares to the Company were
consummated following a special meeting of Checkfree's stockholders at which
the stockholders of Checkfree approved the issuance of the Checkfree Shares to
the Company in the Merger.  Based on a share price of $14.75 (which was the
closing price of Checkfree's Common Stock on January 24, 1997, the last
business day before the consummation of the Merger was announced), the
Checkfree Shares received by the Company in the Merger were valued at
approximately $186 million.  A total of 1,260,000 of the Checkfree Shares are
being held in escrow by a third party escrow agent for a period of one (1) year
after closing of the Merger in order to secure certain indemnification
obligations of the Company under the Merger Agreement.   In addition, under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, after July 31, 1997, Checkfree will deliver to
the Company ISC's unaudited statement of operations for the twelve-month period
ending July 31, 1997, and if ISC's gross revenues for such twelve month period
are less than $46 million, then subject to certain terms and conditions, the
Company will be obligated to pay Checkfree in cash the difference between $46
million and ISC's gross revenues for such twelve-month period.

         The Checkfree Shares issued to the Company in the Merger were issued
in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and consequently can
be transferred only pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
the Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.  In connection with the Merger, the Company and Checkfree have
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights
Agreement") which




                                        -2-
<PAGE>   3
grants the Company certain "demand, " "piggy-back" and "shelf" registration
rights that are summarized below.

         Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Checkfree is obligated to,
and has filed, a registration statement on Form S-3 for a continuous offering
under Rule 415 of the Securities Act (the "Shelf Registration") covering the
registration of all of the Checkfree Shares.  Checkfree had agreed to cause, as
soon as practicable, the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration of the
Checkfree Shares and to continually maintain such effectiveness until January
27, 1999.  The Shelf Registration was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 31, 1997.  The Company has agreed with Checkfree
that, unless the parties otherwise agree, the number of Checkfree Shares sold
by the Company pursuant to the Shelf Registration during any three month period
will be subject to certain volume limitations comparable to those applicable to
resales of shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

         In addition to the Shelf Registration, under the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company may make one demand for registration of the Checkfree
Shares per calendar year beginning in 1997.  The minimum number of shares of
the Common Stock requested by the Company to be registered in each such demand
registration is 20% of the total number of Checkfree Shares issued to the
Company in the Merger, except that the first such request may be for a lesser
number of shares as would reduce the Company's ownership of the Common Stock to
less than 20% of the shares of Checkfree Common Stock outstanding.  In certain
circumstances Checkfree is entitled to defer acting on a Company demand for
registration under the Registration Rights Agreement.

         In the event that Checkfree files a registration statement under the
Securities Act to register a public offering of its securities, the Company may
also elect to register Checkfree Shares under such registration statement in
certain circumstances.

         Checkfree's obligations to register the Checkfree Shares will expire
(i) when all such shares have been registered and sold by the Company or (ii)
after January 27, 2002; except that if Checkfree exercises its right described
above to defer a demand registration requested by the Company, then the date
for expiration of the Registration Rights Agreement will be extended by one
year for each time Checkfree exercises the deferral right.

         On February 5, 1997, the Company sold a total of 2,000,000 shares of
Checkfree Common Stock to a broker-dealer.

         In connection with the Merger, the Company and Checkfree also entered
into an Amended and Restated Stock Restriction Agreement dated as of September
15, 1996 (the "Restriction Agreement").  Under the Restriction Agreement, the
Company has agreed not to sell Checkfree Shares to certain categories of
persons who, as a result of purchasing Checkfree Shares from the Company, would
acquire beneficial ownership of more than 5% (or in some cases 10%) of
Checkfree's outstanding Common Stock, and has granted Checkfree a refusal
option to purchase shares offered for sale by the Company to certain buyers.
The foregoing restrictions do not apply to sales of Checkfree Shares made by
the Company in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, sales made in
underwritten public offerings and sales made through a shelf




                                        -3-
<PAGE>   4
registration effected by Checkfree pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement.  The Company has also agreed not to purchase additional Checkfree
stock if doing so would give the Company beneficial ownership of more than 15%
of Checkfree's outstanding Common Stock and has agreed not to solicit proxies
from Checkfree stockholders or make certain takeover bids for Checkfree without
the consent of Checkfree's Board of Directors.  The Restriction Agreement
irrevocably terminates when the Company first holds less than 10% of
Checkfree's outstanding Common Stock.

         Other Relationships.

         The Company, ISC and Checkfree are also parties to a Services and
License Agreement dated as of September 15, 1996 (the "License Agreement").
The principal objectives of the License Agreement are to:  (i) establish a
continuing cooperative relationship between the parties whereby users of
certain software products and services of the Company will continue to be able
to obtain electronic banking and electronic bill payment services
("banking/billpay services") from ISC or Checkfree through such products and
services of the Company; (ii) provide the means for an orderly transition in
the operation and support of several services currently offered by the Company
and ISC that are now interdependent on certain technologies, equipment,
facilities, personnel and support services of ISC and the Company; (iii) set
forth the terms on which Checkfree, ISC and the Company will cooperate to
develop, market, distribute and support certain of their respective products
and services; and (iv) provide for the grant of certain technology licenses and
mutual support and technical cooperation agreements among the parties designed
to maintain connectivity between certain products and services offered by the
parties.  In partial consideration of several of the Company's agreements under
the License Agreement, ISC paid the Company, in addition to certain other fees,
the sum of $10 million in cash on January 27, 1997 and has agreed to pay the
Company an additional $10 million on or about October 1, 1997.  Certain fees
will be payable by the Company to ISC and Checkfree under the License
Agreement.

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                   BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

The following pro forma adjustments are required to present the financial
position of Intuit at October 31, 1996 (reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Balance Sheet), as though the sale of ISC occurred on October 31,
1996, and the results of operations of Intuit for the twelve-month and
three-month periods ended July 31, 1996 and October 31, 1996, respectively
(reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations), as
though the sale of ISC occurred on August 1, 1995 and August 1, 1996,
respectively.  The following adjustments are based on available information and
on certain assumptions which management believes are reasonable.

         (a)     Reflects the disposition of the net assets of ISC that will be
                 transferred to Checkfree pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
                 Merger.

         (b)     Reflects the amount of ISC's operating losses from
                 discontinued operations deferred and recorded on Intuit's
                 historical October 31, 1996 balance sheet that will be offset
                 against the gain on sale of discontinued operations.

         (c)     Reflects the receipt of 12,600,000 Checkfree Shares received
                 by the Company in the merger which are valued at $14.75 per
                 share, the closing price of Checkfree's common stock on
                 January 24, 1997 and the associated deferred taxes from the
                 estimated gain on disposition.

         (d)     Reflects the Company's preliminary estimate of acquisition
                 costs, including direct expenses of the merger, relocation
                 costs and the estimated amount the Company may be obligated to
                 pay Checkfree in cash for the difference between $46 million
                 and ISC's actual gross revenues for the twelve-month period
                 ending July 31, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for Intuit do not
include the effect of the gain arising from this disposition as it is a
material non-recurring event.  This gain will be calculated and included in the
actual consolidated statement of income of Intuit in its fiscal quarter ended
January 31, 1997.
