ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

ACQUISITION OF VENTURE FINANCE SOFTWARE CORP.

On August 30, 2000, Intuit entered into a Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement
under which it purchased all of the outstanding securities of Venture Finance
Software Corp. ("VFSC") that were not already held by Intuit for approximately
$119 million in cash (including approximately $4.5 million in option exercise
and tax payments in connection with VFSC options exercised immediately prior to
the purchase). The shares purchased consisted of 90,000 shares of VSFC Class A
common stock and 1,020,000 shares of VSFC Class B common stock, which
represented over 55% of the shares of VFSC. VFSC was formed in May 1998 as a
joint venture between Intuit and other investors to develop and market
Web-oriented finance products. Intuit acquired a 49% non-voting equity interest
in VFSC in May 1998 and an option (the "Option") to purchase all of the other
outstanding securities of VFSC at a price to be determined by a formula based on
Intuit's stock price appreciation (subject to certain minimum return levels). In
exchange for this equity interest, Intuit granted VFSC a license of certain
technology and intellectual property rights and agreed with VFSC not to compete
in certain areas of server-based personal finance for a period of ten years.
Intuit purchased the shares of VFSC pursuant to the exercise of the Option.


Eric Dunn, who was Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Intuit
through July 31, 2000, as well as VFSC's President and a director of VFSC, was
the holder of all of the shares of VSFC Class A common stock. In 1998, VSFC
granted Mr. Dunn an option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Class A common
stock. This option, as amended, was exercisable as to 90,000 shares as of August
30, 2000. Mr. Dunn exercised his option immediately before Intuit acquired the
stock of VSFC. Intuit purchased Mr. Dunn's shares along with the equity
interests of the other investors. Intuit paid Mr. Dunn $5.7 million for his
shares of Series A common stock, net of the aggregate exercise price of Mr.
Dunn's option ($1.4 million) and withholding taxes ($3.1 million).


The holders of the VSFC Series B common stock included venture capital funds
managed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, of which L. John Doerr, a director
of Intuit, is a general partner. Intuit purchased a total of 1,020,000 shares of
VSFC Class B common stock for $108.9 million. Of these shares, Intuit purchased
a total of 22,174 shares of VFSC Class B common stock from funds managed by
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers for a total payment of $2.4 million. The
aggregate original purchase price for the shares held by the Kleiner Perkins
Caufield & Byers funds was $1.4 million.
