ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

            A. MANAGEMENT CHANGES

            On May 12, 1998, Intuit Inc. (the "Company" or "Intuit") announced
that its Board of Directors plans to elect William V. Campbell as Chairman of
the Board and William H. Harris, Jr. as President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company at the next regular Board meeting scheduled for July 28, 1998.
Intuit founder Scott D. Cook will become chairman of the Executive Committee of
the Board and continue to work full-time with the Company. Mr. Cook currently
serves as Chairman of the Board, Mr. Campbell currently serves as President and
Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Harris currently serves as Executive Vice
President. These changes will be effective August 1, 1998. In addition, the
Board elected Harris as a director of the Company, effective May 12, 1998.

            Earlier during fiscal 1998, the Company appointed Raymond Stern as
Senior Vice President, Strategy, Finance and Administration, appointed Mari J.
Baker as Senior Vice President, Human Resources and appointed Mark R. Goines as
Senior Vice President, Consumer Finance.           

            B.    ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 1998

            Included as Exhibit 99.01 hereto, and incorporated herein by
reference, is a copy of certain unaudited financial information of the Company
for the three and nine months ended April 30, 1998. The financial information
included for the quarter ended April 30, 1998 was made publicly available by the
Company on May 18, 1998 but is incomplete as the Company has not yet prepared
full quarterly financial statements (including footnotes) or filed a Form 10-Q
with the Commission with respect to such quarterly results.
    
            Consistent with expected seasonal patterns, for the quarter ended
April 30, 1998, Intuit reported net revenue of $142.0 million, compared to
$136.3 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1997. The Company's operating loss
in the quarter ended April 30, 1998 was $7.3 million, compared to an operating
loss of $1.8 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1997. Net loss for the
quarter ended April 30, 1998 was $2.2 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to
net income of $488,000, or $0.01 per share, in the quarter ended April 30, 1997,
on a diluted basis. The Company incurred acquisition related charges from
previous acquisitions of $4.0 million and a charge of $16.2 million related to
an agreement with America Online, Inc. during the quarter ended April 30, 1998
and in the quarter ended April 30, 1997, the Company had revenue of $18.5
million and expenses of $16.7 million associated with Parsons Technology, a
now-divested business, and incurred acquisition related charges of $10.9
million. Excluding these items, the Company's income from operations for the
quarter ended April 30, 1998 would have been $15.9 million and its revenue and
income from operations for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 would have been
$117.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Its net income would have been
$0.20 per share for the quarter ended April 30, 1998 compared to $0.14 per share
for the quarter ended April 30, 1997, on a diluted basis.
 
            Intuit's financial results reflect the highly seasonal nature of its
tax and Quicken products. Historically, revenue is highest in the quarter ended
January 31. The Company experiences significantly lower revenue levels in the
quarters ended April 30, July 31 and October 31, while operating expenses to
develop and manage its products and services continue during these periods.
Although Intuit's financial results are subject to seasonality, Intuit's
quarterly revenue pattern within any given year may vary from year to year due
to non-seasonal factors such as the timing of product introductions. Therefore,
annual results may provide a more meaningful comparison of operating results
than quarter-over-quarter comparisons. In particular, there is no seasonal
pattern for the Company's QuickBooks product launches. For example, the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 benefited materially from the launch of QuickBooks 5.0 in
the second quarter of fiscal 1997, while the third quarter of fiscal 1998
received no such benefit. QuickBooks 6.0 is anticipated to launch at the end of
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. On the other hand, revenue for the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 benefited materially from the timing shift of certain tax
revenues from the second quarter into the third quarter due in part to the
deferred accounting recognition of electronic filing service revenue. There are
various risks and uncertainties associated with the foregoing forward-looking
statement regarding the launch of Quickbooks 6.0, including risks of delay,
which are possible given the uncertainties of complex software development. Any
such delay would have a substantial negative impact on revenue and net income
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 and for fiscal 1998 as a whole.

            In addition, on April 30, 1998, the Company provided a short-term
unsecured loan (due within less than one year) in the amount of $50 million to
Excite, Inc. and may provide additional financing to Excite in the future. The
loan is on a parity with all other indebtedness of Excite but is subordinated to
Excite's current $6 million credit facility. To the extent that Excite is unable
to, or fails to, satisfy its obligations with respect to this indebtedness, the
Company's operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

            C.    PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF LACERTE

            On May 18, 1998, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with Lacerte Software Corporation and Lacerte Educational Services
Corporation (together, "Lacerte") under which it agreed to purchase
substantially all of Lacerte's assets in exchange for $400 million in cash and
to assume substantially all of Lacerte's liabilities (the "Pending
Acquisition"). The consummation of the Pending Acquisition is subject to certain
conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals (such as expiration or
termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the ("HSR Act")). 

            While Intuit expects to consummate the Pending Acquisition in the
summer of 1998, no assurance can be given as to when, or whether, the Pending
Acquisition will be completed.  The Asset Purchase Agreement entitles either
party to terminate the agreement if the Pending Acquisition has not been
completed by the 120th day after Lacerte files its notification under the HSR
Act (which is expected to occur on or about May 22, 1998), subject to extension
of up to an additional 60 days under certain circumstances. If the Pending
Acquisition is not completed by the applicable date, the Company would be
obligated to pay Lacerte up to $20 million, unless the Company had terminated
the Asset Purchase Agreement as a result of a material breach by Lacerte or as a
result of a material inaccuracy in Lacerte's representations and warranties. In
addition, the Company is entitled to terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement at
any time prior to closing, upon payment to Lacerte of $10 million if such
termination occurs within 60 days of Lacerte's initial filing under the HSR Act
or $20 million if the termination occurs after the initial 60 day period.

            The Company intends to use the net proceeds from a public offering
of equity securities to fund the major portion of the cash purchase price of the
Pending Acquisition. However, consummation of the Pending Acquisition is not
conditioned on completion of such offering. If such offering is not completed,
or if less than the full amount contemplated by such offering is raised, the
Company may elect to complete the Pending Acquisition using other cash
resources or to terminate the Pending Acquisition and pay the applicable
termination fee to Lacerte.

            Lacerte is a leading developer and marketer of tax preparation
software and services for tax professionals. Its products are used primarily by
tax professionals to prepare federal and state income tax returns for
individuals and small businesses, as well as estate, trust and gift tax returns.
Lacerte's products provide an efficient user friendly interface, but are also
designed to support complex returns and analysis. Customers can elect to license
each of Lacerte's programs for a single fee for unlimited annual use or to use
them on a "pay-per-return" or "remote entry processing" basis. Lacerte currently
provides DOS and Windows 95 versions of its products. Lacerte also provides
electronic filing services and offers seminars and self-study tutorials in a
variety of areas related to tax preparation and software usage. In its fiscal
year ended March 31, 1998, Lacerte licensed use of its products to over 30,000
customers, primarily accounting and tax firms.

            Lacerte's revenue increased from $62.1 million in fiscal 1996 to
$68.1 million in fiscal 1997 and to $75.6 million in fiscal 1998, primarily as a
result of increases in unit sales. Lacerte's business has provided it with a
relatively stable source of recurring revenue, since users of Lacerte's products
must purchase annual updates that reflect tax law and form changes. Although
prices for Lacerte's products remained relatively stable from fiscal 1996
through fiscal 1998, Lacerte has recently announced modest increases in prices
of many of its products. Lacerte's revenue includes both fees from the license
of its products for unlimited annual use and fees for "remote entry processing"
where the user is charged a fee for each tax return processed. Revenue from
licenses for unlimited annual use is generally recognized at the time of
shipment of the product, although a substantial number of customers pay the
license fee in advance. Remote entry processing revenues are recognized on
electronic delivery to the customer of an encryption key that allows the
customer to prepare a return. Lacerte's revenues are highly seasonal, as sales
of its products are concentrated in the fiscal quarter ended March 31.
 
            Lacerte's operating expenses remained relatively stable from fiscal
1996 through fiscal 1998. Income from operations increased from $19.8 million,
or 31.8% of revenue, in fiscal 1996 to $23.4 million, or 34.3% of revenue, in
fiscal 1997 and $28.9 million, or 38.2% of revenue, in fiscal 1998. A portion of
Lacerte's general and administrative expenses consist of compensation paid to
Lacerte's principal shareholders, who will not remain as employees following the
closing of the Pending Acquisition. Intuit anticipates that increases in other
operating expenses of Lacerte following the acquisition will partially offset
the reduction in compensation expense. Lacerte was not subject to federal income
tax as a result of its election to be treated as an "S" corporation under the
federal income tax laws.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>   5
            The Company believes that the Pending Acquisition has the potential
to provide it with a number of strategic benefits. The Company believes that the
Pending Acquisition will contribute to the Company's recurring revenue base
since users of Lacerte's product offerings, like users of the Company's tax
products, must purchase annual updates that reflect tax law and form changes.
Substantially all of Lacerte's customers renew their licenses each year. Lacerte
has been a highly profitable company, and to the extent that Lacerte's
profitability can be sustained following consummation of the Pending
Acquisition, it could make a significant contribution to the Company's earnings.
 
            The Company believes that the acquisition of Lacerte could also
enable the Company to compete more effectively with other large providers of tax
preparation software. As the complexity of professional tax products increases,
the annual cost of producing and supporting these products also increases. The
Company believes that it is critical to expand its customer base in order to
maintain competitive prices. In addition, the Company expects the Pending
Acquisition to strengthen its presence in the professional income tax compliance
market by enhancing and extending its professional tax preparation software and
service offerings, which currently consist primarily of the Company's ProSeries
products. The Intuit ProSeries product line and Lacerte's product line can
provide complementary solutions for different practitioner preferences. Intuit's
ProSeries product line enhances ease of use by permitting data entry directly
into familiar government forms and displaying calculations on-screen. In
contrast, the Lacerte product line is designed to enhance the preparer's
productivity by presenting highly customized input sheets that reduce the time
required to complete data entry. The Company believes that having two different
products will enable it to better meet the needs of prospective customers in 
the professional tax compliance market.
 
            The Pending Acquisition, which will be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, is expected to result in a write-off of
approximately $20 million representing in process research and development in
the quarter in which the acquisition is consummated. In addition, the Company
expects to capitalize certain intangible assets in the amount of approximately
$390 million, which it expects to amortize over periods of three and five years.
Such amortization will have a negative impact on the Company's future operating
results. These purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to
adjustment, which could be material in amount, based upon the Company's further
analysis. For federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to amortize the
cost of the acquisition over fifteen years and receive tax deductions in the
amount of such amortization.

            The foregoing discussion of the Pending Acquisition includes
forward-looking statements regarding the expected benefits and effects of the
Pending Acquisition of Lacerte by the Company, including statements regarding
strategic benefits of the Pending Acquisition, Lacerte's profitability and
contribution to the Company's profitability, the effect of the Pending
Acquisition on the Company's competitiveness in the market for professional 
tax software and the timing and amount of expenses to be incurred by the 
Company as a result of the Pending Acquisition. The Pending Acquisition and
Lacerte's business are subject to a number of risks that could adversely 
affect the Company's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Pending
Acquisition. The Company currently intends that Lacerte will remain as a
separate entity and that its personnel and its sales and marketing, research 
and development, customer support and administrative organizations will not be
combined with those of the Company. This could create operating inefficiencies,
could make it more difficult to retain key personnel and could cause
difficulties in communicating with, and sharing information between, the
Company's and Lacerte's operations, including with respect to the preparation 
of combined financial statements. These challenges may be exacerbated by the
fact that Lacerte's operations and personnel are located in Texas, where the
Company does not currently have any material operations. The need to focus
management's attention on establishing relationships with, and procedures for
communicating with, Lacerte may reduce the ability of the Company to
successfully pursue other opportunities for a period of time. The departure of
key Lacerte employees or significant numbers of Lacerte employees could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. The Company may face difficulties in
retaining Lacerte's customers, and customers' uncertainties as to the Company's
plans and ability to support both Lacerte's products and its existing ProSeries
software after the acquisition could adversely affect the Company's ability to
retain these customers, which would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. Lacerte is beginning a significant transition of its product line to a
planned 32-bit version, and this transition will require significant development
efforts. There can be no assurance that Lacerte will successfully develop this
version of its products, or that this new version of its products will perform
as expected. Departures of engineering personnel following the acquisition, or
other uncertainties caused by the acquisition, could adversely affect the
ability of Lacerte to develop this product. In the event that the Company and
Lacerte in the future determine to integrate their operations, such integration
could also present a number of risks and result in the diversion of management's
attention.

            Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is
assuming substantially all of the liabilities related to Lacerte's business 
with the exception of certain tax liabilities. If unanticipated liabilities are
discovered after the consummation of the Pending Acquisition, the Company will
likely bear the obligation to satisfy those liabilities, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operating results.

            D.    JOINT VENTURE

            In May 1998, the Company formed a joint venture company to focus on
development of certain Web-oriented finance products. The joint venture company
has received $23 million through the sale of equity interests to private
investors and obtained conditional commitments to receive up to an additional
$23 million in capital contributions from these investors. An affiliate of
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated is the principal investor in this joint
venture company, and a venture capital fund managed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield
& Byers, of which L. John Doerr, a director of the Company, is a general
partner, has agreed to invest $1 million in the joint venture company. In
exchange for its equity interest in the joint venture company, the Company has
granted the joint venture company licenses to certain technology and
intellectual property rights related to certain Web-oriented finance products
and has agreed not to compete in certain areas of server-based personal finance
for a period of ten years. The Company will manage the development of the new
products and the commercialization efforts of the joint venture company and has
been granted the option to purchase the equity interests of the investors in the
joint venture company during a period of time beginning two years after
formation of the joint venture company at a price to be determined by a formula.
The cost of exercising the option to purchase the investors' equity interests
would be substantial and would result in the acquisition of certain intangible
assets that would be amortized over the expected useful life of the new
company's technology. The development of Web-oriented finance products is
subject to significant technological risks, and there can be no assurance that
the development will be successful or that the Company's purchase option will be
exercised.

            E.    SFAS 128 INFORMATION

            In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Accounting Standard, No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128),
which replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with basic and diluted earnings per share. Exhibit 99.05 includes basic and
diluted per share information for the quarter ended October 31, 1997 and the
quarters in each of the years ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996 and for the

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996


<PAGE>   2
                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Lacerte Software Corporation and Lacerte Educational
Services Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
combined statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity, and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position
of Lacerte Software Corporation and Lacerte Educational Services Corporation
(together the "Company") at March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the combined results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

      Lacerte Software Corporation ("Lacerte Software") was incorporated in the
      State of California in December 1978. In July 1996, Lacerte Software
      completed a reorganization resulting in the merger of the California
      corporation into a newly created Delaware corporation of the same name. In
      connection with the 1996 reorganization, the California corporation was
      dissolved. Lacerte Software develops, markets and sells computer software
      for the professional tax preparation market.

      In April 1996, the stockholders of Lacerte Software formed Lacerte
      Educational Services Corporation ("Lacerte Educational"), a Delaware
      corporation, to provide seminars and educational services to the
      professional tax preparer market. The stockholders of Lacerte Educational
      and Lacerte Software are similar such that these entities are companies
      under common control.

      The accompanying combined financial statements present the combined
      balances of Lacerte Software and Lacerte Educational (together the
      "Company") for the period after the formation of Lacerte Educational
      Services Corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
      eliminated. Prior to the formation of Lacerte Educational, the financial
      statements represent the balances and activities of Lacerte Software on a
      stand alone basis.

      Effective May 1, 1996, Lacerte Software and Lacerte Educational entered
      into a Service and Management Agreement. Lacerte Software agreed to
      provide Lacerte Educational with support services and Lacerte Educational
      agreed to provide Lacerte Software with sales leads for Lacerte Software's
      products and services. Lacerte Educational made payments to Lacerte
      Software of $300,000 and $210,082 for services provided during fiscal
      years ending March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Unpaid balances accrue
      interest at 7%. Unpaid balances were $180,237 and $165,937 at March 31,
      1998 and 1997, respectively. Such intercompany balances and transactions
      have been eliminated in these combined financial statements.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      USE OF ESTIMATES

      The preparation of these combined financial statements in conformity with
      generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the
      Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
      of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
      liabilities at the date of these financial statements and the reported
      amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
      results could differ from those estimates.

      REVENUE RECOGNITION

      In-house

      In-house software includes federal and state income tax forms for the tax
      preparer market. In-house revenue is generally recognized at the time of
      shipment of the Company's software, as no significant vendor obligations
      exist and collections of accounts receivable are probable. Advance
      payments are recorded as deferred revenue until the related products are
      shipped. The Company accrues the cost of providing vendor obligations at
      the time of shipment. Such costs are included in accrued post-contract
      customer support.

      Remote Entry Processing

      Remote entry processing has a transaction based fee structure whereby the
      user is charged a fee for each tax return processed. Revenue from remote
      entry processing is recognized upon delivery of an electronic encryption
      key to unlock the Company's software, as no significant future vendor
      obligations exist and collections of accounts receivable are probable.
      Advance deposits are recorded as deferred revenue until the Company's
      software is shipped. Unused deposits are recorded as revenue upon shipment
      of the subsequent year's software.

      Training revenue

      Training revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

      RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

      Research and development costs are incurred for the development of new
      products or bringing about significant improvements to existing products.
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, "Accounting for the
      Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" (SFAS
      No. 86), requires the capitalization of certain software development costs
      once technological feasibility is established. The capitalized cost is
      then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life,
      or based on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product
      revenues, whichever is greater. Technological feasibility does not occur
      for the Company's products until testing of a working model has been
      performed at which time the products are substantially ready for release
      to the customer, therefore, no costs have been capitalized with respect to
      product development.

      INTANGIBLE ASSETS

      The cost of identified intangibles is generally amortized on a
      straight-line basis over periods ranging from one to seven years. The
      carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed by management on a
      periodic basis for indications of a potential impairment as required by
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the
      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
      Of" ("SFAS No. 121"). To date, no impairment has been recorded for the
      Company's intangible assets.

      CASH AND EQUIVALENTS

      Cash and cash equivalents includes all highly liquid investment
      instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.

      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

      Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
      Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated
      useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to twenty years. Leasehold
      improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the
      lease or the estimated life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and
      maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      As of March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company is not a party to any
      off-balance sheet financial instruments. All financial instruments
      recorded at March 31, 1998 and 1997 are either of very short maturity or
      carry interest rates which approximate market rates. As such, the fair
      value of financial instruments approximates their carrying value as of
      March 31, 1998 and 1997.

      INCOME TAXES

      The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected under the
      Internal Revenue Code to be an "S" corporation. In lieu of federal
      corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an "S" corporation are taxed
      on their proportionate shares of the Company's taxable income. Therefore,
      no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in
      these financial statements, as the tax effects of the Company's activities
      accrue to the individual stockholders.

      ADVERTISING COSTS

      Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the
      years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $390,585,
      $635,995 and $377,779, respectively.

      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      On October 27, 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public
      Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue
      Recognition" ("SoP 97-2"). This statement, which supercedes Statement of
      Position 91-1, provides guidance for recognizing revenue on software
      transactions. SoP 97-2 is effective for transactions entered into during
      fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997. The Company will adopt SoP
      97-2 in its fiscal year ending March 31, 1999 and is currently assessing
      the impact of SoP 97-2 on its revenue recognition policy.

      Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
      Structure". The Company adopted the statement effective April 1, 1997. The

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL INFORMATION


            The following pro forma condensed combining statements of operations
are set forth herein to give effect to the net proceeds to the Company from the
sale of 8,400,000 shares of Common Stock at an assumed offering price of $45.875
per share and the acquisition of Lacerte by Intuit as if such acquisition had
occurred as of the beginning of each period presented by combining the
statements of operations data of (i) the Company for the year ended July 31,
1997 and Lacerte for the twelve month period from October 1, 1996 through
September 30, 1997 and (ii) the Company for the six months ended January 31,
1998 and Lacerte for the six months ended March 31, 1998, respectively. The pro
forma condensed combining balance sheet data gives effect to the acquisition of
Lacerte by Intuit as if such acquisition had occurred on January 31, 1998. The
pro forma combined consolidated financial information does not reflect any
potential cost savings which may be obtained following the Pending Acquisition.
The pro forma adjustments and assumptions are based on estimates, evaluations
and other data currently available. In particular, such adjustments include
information based upon the Company's preliminary allocation of the purchase
price for the Pending Acquisition, which is subject to adjustment based upon the
Company's further analysis. The pro forma condensed combining statements of
operations is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily
indicative of the combined results of operations that would have been reported
had the Pending Acquisition occurred on August 1, 1996, nor does it represent a
forecast of the combined future results of operations for any future period. All
information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto of the Company and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1997, the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Lacerte included in the Company's Form
8-K dated May 18, 1998 and the Notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed
combining financial information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     Note 1. The unaudited pro forma condensed combining balance sheet of Intuit
and Lacerte has been prepared as if the Pending Acquisition, which is being
accounted for as a purchase, was completed as of January 31, 1998. Based on an
aggregate purchase price of $400 million, plus $10 million of direct and
indirect acquisition costs, and approximately $8 million in liabilities assumed,
a total of $418 million was allocated to the Lacerte March 31, 1998 balance
sheet. Actual balance sheets of Intuit and Lacerte will be combined at the
effective date of the Pending Acquisition.
 
     The preliminary allocation of the purchase price among the identifiable
tangible and intangible assets was based on a preliminary appraisal of the fair
market value of those assets. Such preliminary purchase price allocation is
subject to adjustment based upon the Company's further analysis, which
adjustment could be material in amount. Specifically, purchased research and
development was identified and valued through interviews concerning each Lacerte
developmental project. Expected future cash flows of each developmental project
were discounted to present value taking into account risks associated with the
inherent difficulties and uncertainties in completing the project, and thereby
achieving technological feasibility, and risks related to the viability of and
potential changes in future target markets.
 
     The above preliminary analysis and valuation resulted in a value of
approximately $20 million for purchased research and development which has not
yet reached technological feasibility and does not have alternative future uses.
Therefore, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, this
amount has been written off as a pro forma adjustment.
 
     Using the same methodology, other intangibles were identified and
preliminarily valued. Expected future cash flows associated with these
intangibles were discounted to present value taking into account risks related
to the characteristics of each item. The amounts preliminarily identified as
intangible assets as well as goodwill arising from the transaction are expected
to be amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years.
 
     Note 2. The Intuit statement of operations for the year ended July 31, 1997
has been combined with the Lacerte statement of income for the year ended
September 30, 1997. Additionally, the Intuit statement of operations for the six
month period ended January 31, 1998 has been combined with Lacerte's statement
of income for the six month period ended March 31, 1998. This method of
combining the two companies is for the presentation of unaudited pro forma
condensed combining financial statements only. Actual statements of operations
of Intuit and Lacerte will be combined from the effective date of the Pending
Acquisition with no retroactive restatement. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combining financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Intuit and
the combined financial statements of Lacerte for the indicated periods.
 
     Note 3. The unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of
operations for Intuit and Lacerte have been prepared as if the Pending
Acquisition was completed as of the beginning of each period presented. The
unaudited pro forma combined net loss per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares of Intuit Common Stock outstanding during the period,
adjusted to give effect to 8,400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
assumed to be issued pursuant to the Company's planned public offering, the
proceeds of which are to be used to fund the purchase price for the Pending
Acquisition.
 
     Note 4. Lacerte has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an "S"
corporation. In lieu of federal corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an
"S" corporation are taxed on their proportionate shares of the Company's taxable
income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been
included in Lacerte's financial statements, as the tax effects of the Company's
activities accrue to the individual stockholders. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combining statements of operations include pro forma adjustments to
adjust Lacerte's earnings as if they were subject to the corporate tax treatment
of a "C" corporation.
 
     Note 5. The unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of
operations for Intuit and Lacerte do not include the approximate $20 million
charge for acquired in-process research and development arising from the Pending
Acquisition, as it is a material nonrecurring charge. This charge will be
included in the actual consolidated statements of operations of Intuit in the
fiscal quarter in which the Pending Acquisition closes.

     Note 6. The following pro forma adjustments are reflected in the unaudited
pro forma condensed combining financial information and are required to allocate
the preliminary purchase price and acquisition costs to the net assets to be
acquired from Lacerte based on their fair value, as determined by a preliminary
appraisal, and to reflect the write-off of purchased research and development
identified in the purchase price allocation:
 
     (a) Reflects $370,677,000 of net proceeds to the Company from the sale of
8,400,000 shares of Common Stock at an assumed public offering price of $45.875
per share after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and offering
expenses.
 
     (b) Reflects the allocation of the purchase price, based on fair market
values, to the historical balance sheet.
 
     (c) Reflects the write-off of purchased research and development identified
in the purchase price allocation and the related pro forma tax effects. The pro
forma statements of operations exclude the write-off of purchased research and
development due to its non-recurring nature.
 
     (d) Reflects the elimination of Lacerte's equity accounts.
 
     (e) Reflects the amortization of intangibles associated with the purchase
of Lacerte as if the acquisition was completed as of the beginning of each
period presented. Amortization is over the estimated useful lives of the assets
acquired (generally between three and five years).
 
     (f) Reflects the effect of treating Lacerte as an "S" corporation versus a
"C" corporation for federal and state tax purposes.

              RESTATEMENT OF EARNINGS PER SHARE UNDER STATEMENT OF
                     FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 128

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaced
the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible
securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share.


Restatement of selected financial data is for the quarter ended October 31, 1997
and the quarters in each of the years ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996, and
the year ended September 30, 1993, ten months ended July 31, 1994 and the years
ended July 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, and related disclosures as prescribed by
SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share" for the three years ended July 31, 1997.
