[Management blamed the weak economy for the warning, not increased competition.] Our share of retail sales for QuickBooks and TurboTax has remained steady and strong, but the categories are simply growing more slowly, ... We're disappointed to see a sluggish economy worsening in the past few weeks with a further decrease in customer spending in all our categories.

Intuit delivered another strong quarter and we're on track for another strong year. Our two largest businesses -- QuickBooks and TurboTax -- continued to perform very well as we successfully execute strategies to expand our customer base and solve more of our customers' needs.

We feel it's in Intuit's best interest to reach this agreement rather than fight this in a long battle in the courts. We're very happy with the TurboTax advertising campaign and are happy with this agreement.

Microsoft's exit from this market should lead to more rational pricing and likely improved profitability for Intuit's TurboTax. In an attempt to gain market share, Microsoft dramatically cut unit price, a move Intuit was forced to match.

The 2006 year opened on a strong note, with solid growth of 33 percent in online non-travel sales versus the same period in 2005. It's clear based on what we're seeing so far in 2006 that the strength in online sales will not wane anytime soon.

Thanks to the exceptional efforts of our employees, net sales, earnings and all key metrics for the year exceeded our original goals and surpassed the extraordinary results of the prior fiscal year.

This year has been very strong for the e-commerce industry. Every indicator in this space, from online sales, broadband growth and domain registration is up.

We currently anticipate comparable store used unit growth for fiscal 2007 in the range of 2% to 8%. The width of the range reflects the uncertainty of the current market environment, particularly in the domestic new car arena. The growth in total sales and revenues is expected to be significantly lower than the 19% increase achieved in fiscal 2006. This decrease reflects the difference in store opening patterns.

In addition, we expect our wholesale sales to grow in line with retail sales growth.
