NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
(Unaudited) |
1. |
|
Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2006, the condensed consolidated statements
of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005
have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at July 31, 2006 and for all periods presented have
been made. |
|
|
|
H&R Block, the Company, we, our and us are used interchangeably to refer to H&R
Block, Inc. or to H&R Block, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context. |
|
|
|
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our results of operations or stockholders
equity as previously reported. In March 2006, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) approved the
charter of H&R Block Bank (HRB Bank). The bank commenced operations on May 1, 2006, at which time
we realigned certain segments of our business to reflect a new management reporting structure. The
previously reported Investment Services segment, H&R Block Mortgage Corporation (HRBMC), which was
previously included in the Mortgage Services segment, and H&R Block Bank have been combined in the
Consumer Financial Services segment. Presentation of prior-year results reflects the new segment
alignment. See note 11 for additional information on this new segment. |
|
|
|
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in our April 30, 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders
on Form 10-K. |
|
|
|
Operating revenues of the Tax Services and Business Services segments are seasonal in nature
with peak revenues occurring in the months of January through April. Therefore, results for interim
periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year. |
|
2. |
|
Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
|
|
|
Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average shares outstanding during
each period. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is included in diluted earnings per
share except in those periods with a loss. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of shares
of common stock issuable upon the lapse of certain restrictions or the exercise of options to
purchase 32.9 million shares and 33.7 million shares of stock for the three months ended July 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively, as the effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss recorded
during the period. |
|
|
|
The weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended July 31, 2006 decreased to
323.7 million from 330.7 million last year, primarily due to purchases of treasury shares. The
effect of these purchases was partially offset by the issuance of treasury shares related to our
stock-based compensation plans. |
|
|
|
During the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, we issued 1.4 million and 2.5 million
shares of common stock, respectively, pursuant to the exercise of stock options, employee stock
purchases and awards of nonvested shares, in accordance with our stock-based compensation plans. |
|
|
|
During the three months ended July 31, 2006, we acquired 8.4 million shares of our common
stock, of which 8.1 million shares were purchased from third parties with the remaining shares
swapped or surrendered to us, at an aggregate cost of $186.3 million. During the three months ended
July 31, 2005, we acquired 4.6 million shares of our common stock, of which 4.4 million shares were
purchased from third parties with the remaining shares swapped or surrendered to us, at an
aggregate cost of $131.6 million. |

At July 31, 2006 and 2005, we had $59.3 million and $58.0 million, respectively, in
residual interests classified as trading securities, which are included in marketable securities
trading on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These residual interests are the result of the
initial securitization of mortgage loans and those held at July 31, 2006 are expected to be
securitized in a NIM transaction during our second quarter. There were no such trading securities
recorded as of April 30, 2006. Cash received on trading residual interests is included in operating
activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. |

Cash flows from available-for-sale residual interests of $4.6 million and $24.0
million were received from the securitization trusts for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively. Cash received on available-for-sale residual interests is included
in investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. |
|
|
|
Aggregate net unrealized gains on available-for-sale residual interests not yet accreted into
income totaled $40.1 million at July 31, 2006 and $44.1 million at April 30, 2006. These unrealized
gains are recorded net of deferred taxes in other comprehensive income, and may be recognized in
income in future periods either through accretion or upon further securitization or sale of the
related residual interest. |

We originate both adjustable and fixed rate mortgage loans. A key assumption used to
estimate the cash flows and values of the residual interests and MSRs is average annualized
prepayment speeds. Prepayment speeds include voluntary prepayments, involuntary prepayments and
scheduled principal payments. Prepayment rate assumptions are as follows: |

Static pool credit losses are calculated by summing the actual and projected future
credit losses and dividing them by the original balance of each pool of assets. |
|
|
|
At July 31, 2006, the sensitivities of the current fair value of the residual interests and
MSRs to 10% and 20% adverse changes in the above key assumptions are as presented in the following
table. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures
indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be
extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may
not be linear. Also in this table, the effect of a variation of a particular assumption on the fair
value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumptions; in reality,
changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the
sensitivities. |

Increases in prepayment rates related to available-for-sale NIM residuals can
generate a positive impact to fair value when reductions in estimated credit losses and increases
in prepayment penalties exceed the adverse impact to accretion from accelerating the life of the
available-for-sale residual interest. |

We test goodwill for impairment annually at the beginning of our fourth quarter, or
more frequently if events occur indicating it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting
units net assets has been reduced below its carrying value. No such events were identified within any of our segments during the three months ended July
31, 2006. |

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 was $15.0
million and $15.2 million, respectively. Estimated amortization of intangible assets for fiscal
years 2007 through 2011 is $56.7 million, $38.9 million, $15.7 million, $13.3 million and $11.8
million, respectively. |

In October 2005, we acquired all outstanding common stock of American Express Tax and Business
Services, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $190.7 million. The preliminary purchase price
allocations are subject to change and will be adjusted based upon resolution of several matters
including, but not limited to, determination of the post-closing adjustment and final purchase
price, determination of final liabilities relating to planned exit activities and determination of
the tax basis of acquired assets and liabilities, and deferred tax balances of the acquired
business. |

Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
Beginning May 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R) under the modified prospective approach. Under SFAS 123R,
we continue to measure and recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation consistent with our
past practice under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, which we adopted on May 1, 2003
under the prospective transition method. The adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

The following is a comparison of reported and pro forma results had compensation cost for all

Stock-based compensation expense of $10.5 million and the related tax benefits of
$3.7 million are included in our results for the three months ended July 31, 2006.
SFAS 123R requires the reclassification, in the statement of cash flows, of the excess tax
benefits from stock-based compensation from operating cash flows to financing. As a result, we
classified $1.1 million as a cash inflow from financing activities rather than as an operating
activity for the three months ended July 31, 2006.
We have four stock-based compensation plans which have been approved by our shareholders. As
of July 31, 2006, we had approximately 21.7 million shares reserved for future awards under these
plans. We issue shares from our treasury stock to satisfy the exercise or release of stock-based
awards.
Our 2003 Long-Term Executive Compensation Plan provides for awards of options (both incentive
and nonqualified), nonvested shares, performance nonvested share units and other stock-based awards
to employees. These awards are granted to employees and entitle the holder to shares or the right
to purchase shares of common stock as the award vests, typically over a three-year period with
one-third vesting each year. Nonvested shares receive dividends during the vesting period and
performance nonvested share units receive cumulative dividends at the end of the vesting period. We
measure the fair value of options on the grant date or modification date using the Black-Scholes
option valuation model. We measure the fair value of nonvested shares and performance nonvested
share units based the average of the high and low quoted price of our common stock on the grant
date. Generally, we expense the grant-date fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, over the
vesting period on a straight-line basis. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, awards granted to employees
who are of retirement age, or reach retirement age at least one year after the grant date but prior
to the end of the service period of the award, are expensed over the shorter of the two periods.
Options are granted at a price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date
and have a contractual term of ten years.
Our 1999 Stock Option Plan for Seasonal Employees provides for awards of nonqualified options
to employees. These awards are granted to seasonal employees in our Tax Services segment and
entitle the holder to the right to purchase shares of common stock as the award vests, typically
over a two-year period. We measure the fair value of options on the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model. We expense the grant-date fair value, net of estimated
forfeitures, over the service period. Options are granted at a price equal to the fair market value
of our common stock on the grant date, are exercisable during September through November in each of
the two years following the calendar year of the grant and have a contractual term of 29 months.
Our 1989 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors provides for awards of nonqualified options
to outside directors. These awards are granted to outside directors and entitle the holder to the
right to purchase shares of common stock. We measure the fair value of options on the grant date
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. These awards vest immediately upon issuance and are
therefore fully expensed on the grant date. Options are granted at a price equal to the fair market
value of our common stock on the grant date and have a contractual term of ten years.
-9-
Our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) provides employees the option to purchase shares
of our Common Stock through payroll deductions. The purchase price of the stock is 90% of the lower
of either the fair market value of our Common Stock on the first trading day within the
Option Period or on the last trading day of the Option Period. The Option Periods are six-month
periods beginning on January 1 and July 1 each year. We measure the fair value of options on the
grant date utilizing the Black-Scholes option valuation model in accordance with FASB Technical
Bulletin 97-1, Accounting under Statement 123 for Certain Employee Stock Purchase Plans with a
Look-Back Option. We expense the grant-date fair value over the six-month vesting period.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended July
31, 2006 and 2005 were $0.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively. We utilize the Black-Scholes
option pricing model to value our options on the grant date. We estimated the expected volatility
using our historical stock price data. We also used historical exercise and forfeiture behaviors to
estimate the options expected term and our forfeiture rate. The following assumptions were used to
value options during the periods:

The total fair value of shares vesting during the three months ended July 31, 2006
and 2005 was $17.6 million and $16.3 million, respectively. Upon the grant of nonvested shares and
performance nonvested share units, unearned compensation cost is recorded as an offset to
additional paid in
capital and is amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period. As of July 31, 2006, we
had $57.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these shares. This cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years.

Regulatory Requirements |
|
|
|
Registered Broker-Dealer |
|
|
|
HRBFA is subject to regulatory requirements intended to ensure the general financial soundness and
liquidity of broker-dealers. At July 31, 2006, HRBFAs net capital of $124.2 million, which was
26.4% of aggregate debit items, exceeded its minimum required net capital of $9.4 million by $114.8
million. |
Pledged securities at July 31, 2006 totaled $42.5 million, an excess of $5.9 million over the
margin requirement. Pledged securities at April 30, 2006 totaled $53.0 million, an excess of $9.9
million over the margin requirement.
Banking
HRB Bank is subject to various regulatory capital guidelines and requirements administered by
Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain
mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on HRB Banks operations. Under these capital adequacy guidelines and
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, HRB Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of HRB Banks assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. HRB Banks capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require HRB Bank to
maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital to assets. As shown in the table below, at June 30,
2006, the most recent date of reporting to Federal banking agencies, HRB Bank is categorized as
well capitalized for regulatory purposes, which is the highest classification. There are no
conditions or events since June 30, 2006 that management believes have changed the Banks category.
At July 31, 2006, management believes that HRB Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to
which it is subject. However, events beyond managements control, such as fluctuations in interest
rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which HRB Banks loans or securities are
concentrated, could adversely affect future earnings and consequently, HRB Banks ability to meet
its future capital requirements.

In the normal course of business, we maintain recourse with standard representations
and warranties customary to the mortgage banking industry. Violations of these representations and
warranties, such as early payment defaults by borrowers, may require us to repurchase loans
previously sold. In accordance with these loan sale agreements, we repurchased loans previously
sold into the secondary market with an outstanding principal balance of $92.3 million and $60.0
million during the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Repurchased loans are normally
sold in subsequent sale transactions. We established a liability related to the potential
loss we expect to incur on repurchase of loans previously sold and
premium recapture, totaling $104.0 million
and $33.4 million at July 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006,
respectively. This liability relates to loans not yet repurchased. On an ongoing basis, we monitor the adequacy of this
liability, which is established upon the initial sale of the loans, and is included in accounts
payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance
sheets. During the three months ended July 31, 2006 we experienced higher early payment defaults, resulting
in an increase in actual and expected loan repurchase activity. As a
result, we increased our reserves accordingly. In establishing our reserves, weve assumed
all loans that are currently delinquent and subject to contractual repurchase terms will be
repurchased, and that 5% of loans previously sold but not yet subject to contractual repurchase
terms will be repurchased. Based on historical experience, we assumed 30% of all loans we repurchase
will cure with no loss incurred, and of those that do not cure, we
assumed an average 15% loss
severity.
HRB Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines, which extends credit
availability to member banks based on eligible collateral and asset size. At July 31, 2006, HRB
Bank had FHLB advance capacity of $198.0 million, but no amounts had been drawn on this facility.
We routinely enter into contracts that include embedded indemnifications that have
characteristics similar to guarantees, including obligations to protect counterparties from losses
arising from the following: (a) tax, legal and other risks related to the purchase or disposition
of businesses; (b) penalties and interest assessed by Federal and state taxing authorities in
connection with tax returns prepared for clients; (c) indemnification of our directors and
officers; and (d) third-party claims relating to various arrangements in the normal course of
business. Typically, there is no stated maximum payment related to these indemnifications, and the
term of indemnities may vary and in many cases is limited only by the applicable statute of
limitations. The likelihood of any claims being asserted against us and the ultimate liability
related to any such claims, if any, is difficult to predict. While we cannot provide assurance that
such claims will not be successfully asserted, we believe the fair value of these guarantees and
indemnifications is not material as of July 31, 2006.

Litigation and Related Contingencies |
|
|
|
We have been named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits throughout the country regarding our RAL
programs (the RAL Cases). The RAL Cases have involved a variety of legal theories asserted by
plaintiffs. These theories include allegations that, among others, (i) disclosures in the RAL
applications were inadequate, misleading and untimely; (ii) the RAL interest rates were usurious
and unconscionable; (iii) we did not disclose that we would receive part of the finance charges
paid by the customer for such loans; (iv) untrue, misleading or deceptive statements in marketing
RALs; (v) breach of state laws on credit service organizations; (vi) breach of contract, unjust
enrichment, unfair and deceptive acts or practices; (vii) violations of the federal Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act; (viii) violations of the federal Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act and unfair competition with respect to debt collection activities; and (ix) we owe,
and breached, a fiduciary duty to our customers in connection with the RAL program. |
The amounts claimed in the RAL Cases have been very substantial in some instances. We have
successfully defended against numerous RAL cases, some of which were dismissed on our motions for
dismissal or summary judgment, and others were dismissed voluntarily by the plaintiffs after denial
of class certification. Other cases have been settled, with the combined pretax expense for such
settlements in fiscal year 2006 totaling $70.2 million. During the three months ended July 31,
2006, the 2006 settlements were paid in full.
One RAL class action case and a state attorney general lawsuit are still pending, with the
amounts claimed on a collective basis being very substantial. The ultimate cost of this litigation
could be substantial. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the remaining RAL Cases and we
intend to defend them vigorously. There can be no assurances, however, as to the outcome of the
pending RAL Cases individually or in the aggregate or the associated impact on our financial
statements.
We are also a party to claims and lawsuits pertaining to our electronic tax return filing
services, our POM guarantee program, our Express IRA product, business valuation services and tax
planning services. These claims and lawsuits include actions by individual plaintiffs, as well as
cases in which plaintiffs seek to represent a class of similarly situated customers. The amounts
claimed in these claims and lawsuits are substantial in some instances, and the ultimate liability
with respect to such litigation and claims is difficult to predict. We intend to continue defending
these cases vigorously, although there are no assurances as to their outcome.
In addition we and certain of our current and former directors and officers are party to
several putative class actions alleging violations of certain securities laws, and certain of our
current and former officers and directors are defendants in several putative shareholder derivative
actions, which have purportedly been brought on behalf of the Company and in which the Company is
named as a nominal defendant. The putative securities class actions allege, among other things,
deceptive, material and misleading financial statements, failure to prepare financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and concealment of the potential for
lawsuits stemming from the allegedly fraudulent nature of our operations. The shareholder
derivative cases
-14-
pertain primarily to our recent financial restatement and certain of our products
and business activities and generally allege breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross
mismanagement, waste and unjust enrichment. The amounts claimed in these claims and lawsuits are
substantial in some instances, and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation and
claims is difficult to predict. We intend to continue defending these cases vigorously, although
there are no assurances as to their outcome.
In addition to the aforementioned types of cases, we are parties to claims and lawsuits that
we consider to be ordinary, routine disputes incidental to our business (Other Claims and
Lawsuits), including claims and lawsuits concerning the preparation of customers income tax
returns, tax planning services, the fees charged customers for various services, investment
products, relationships with franchisees, contract disputes, employment matters and civil actions,
arbitrations, regulatory inquiries and class actions arising out of our business as a broker-dealer
and provider of investment products and as a servicer of mortgage loans. We believe we have
meritorious defenses to each of the Other Claims and Lawsuits and are defending them vigorously.
Although we cannot provide assurance we will ultimately prevail in each instance, we believe that
amounts, if any, required to be paid in the discharge of liabilities or settlements pertaining to
Other Claims and Lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
statements. Regardless of outcome, claims and litigation can adversely affect us due to defense
costs, diversion of management attention and time, and publicity related to such matters.

HRB Bank commenced operations on May 1, 2006, at which time we realigned certain
segments of our business to reflect a new management reporting structure. The previously reported
Investment Services segment, HRBMC (which was previously included in the Mortgage Services
segment), and HRB Bank are now reported in the Consumer Financial Services segment. Presentation of
prior-year results reflects the new segment alignment.
The Consumer Financial Services segment is primarily engaged in offering advice-based
brokerage services and investment planning through HRBFA, mortgage loans through HRBMC and
full-service banking through HRB Bank. HRB Bank offers traditional banking services, including
-15-
checking and savings accounts, home equity lines of credit, individual retirement accounts,
certificates of deposit and prepaid debit card deposit accounts. HRB Bank also purchases loans from
Option One Mortgage Corporation (OOMC) to hold for investment purposes. HRBMC originates non-prime
loans for sale to OOMC and prime loans for sale to other third-party buyers.
All intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The largest intersegment
revenue transactions include gains recognized on loans sold to HRB Bank by OOMC and mortgage fees
earned by HRBMC on loans sold to OOMC.

New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
In June 2006, FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48),
was issued. The interpretation requires that a tax position meet a more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold for the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the
financial statements and provides guidance on the measurement of the benefit. The
interpretation also requires interim period estimated tax benefits of uncertain tax positions to be
accounted for in the period of change rather than as a component of the annual effective tax rate.
The provisions of this standard are effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2008. We are currently evaluating what effect the adoption of FIN 48 will
have on our consolidated financial statements. |
In June 2006, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-3, How Sales Taxes Collected from
Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement
(That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation) (EITF 06-3) was issued. EITF 06-3 requires disclosure of
the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded
from revenues) basis as an accounting policy decision. The provisions of this standard are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption
of EITF 06-3 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, Accounting for Servicing
of Financial Assets An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, (SFAS 156), was issued. The
provisions of this standard require mortgage servicing rights to be initially valued at fair value.
SFAS 156 allows servicers to choose to subsequently measure their servicing rights at fair value or to
continue using the amortization method under SFAS 140. The provisions of this standard are
effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2008. We are currently evaluating what effect the
adoption of SFAS 156 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Instruments An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155), was issued. The
provisions of this standard establish a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial
assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial
instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. The standard permits a
hybrid financial instrument to be accounted for in its entirety if the holder irrevocably elects to
measure the hybrid financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized
currently in earnings. The provisions of this standard are effective as of the beginning of our
fiscal year 2008. Our residual interests typically have interests in derivative instruments
embedded within the securitization trusts. If we elect to account for our residual interests on a
fair value basis, changes in fair value will impact earnings in the period in which the change
occurs. We are currently evaluating what effect the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on our
consolidated financial statements.
Exposure Draft Amendment of SFAS 140
In August 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an exposure draft which
amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This exposure draft seeks to clarify the
derecognition requirements for financial assets and the initial measurement of interests related to
transferred financial assets that are held by a transferor. Our current off-balance sheet warehouse
facilities (the Trusts) in our Mortgage Services segment would be required to be consolidated in
our financial statements based on the provisions of the exposure draft. We will
-16-
continue to monitor
the status of the exposure draft and consider what changes, if any, could be made to the structure
of the Trusts to continue to derecognize mortgage loans transferred to the Trusts. At July 31,
2006, the Trusts held loans and debt totaling $4.2 billion, which we would be required to
consolidate into our financial statements under the provisions of this exposure draft. The final
standard for this exposure draft is scheduled to be issued in the second quarter of calendar year
2007.

Three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to July 31, 2005
Tax Services revenues increased $8.8 million, or 15.5%, for the three months ended July 31, 2006
compared to the prior year.
Tax preparation and related fees increased $2.0 million, or 8.6%, for the current quarter.
This increase is primarily due to improved performance in our Canadian operations coupled with an
increase of 8.7% in the average fee per U.S. client served.
Other service revenues increased $6.1 million, or 20.9%, primarily due to an increase in the
recognition of deferred fee revenue from our POM guarantees, which resulted from a more favorable
claims pattern.
-20-
Total expenses increased $17.5 million, or 8.7%, for the three months ended July 31, 2006.
Cost of services increased $19.0 million, or 12.5%, from the prior year. Our real estate expansion
efforts have
contributed to a total increase of $5.1 million across all cost of services categories.
Compensation and benefits increased $3.2 million, or 7.6%, primarily due to severance costs
associated with district realignments. Occupancy expenses increased $8.4 million, or 14.1%,
primarily as a result of higher rent expenses due to a 10.0% increase in company-owned offices
under lease and a 6.2% increase in the average rent. Other cost of services increased $8.3 million,
or 20.7%, due to $3.3 million in additional corporate shared services for information technology
projects, coupled with increases in travel expenses and expenses associated with our POM guarantee.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 3.0%, primarily due to
a $2.7 million decrease in corporate shared services and a $2.5 million decrease in legal expenses,
partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in corporate wages.
The pretax loss was $153.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to a loss
of $144.5 million in the prior year.
RAL Litigation
We are named as a defendant in one pending class-action lawsuit and one pending state attorney
general lawsuit alleging that we engaged in wrongdoing with respect to the RAL program. We believe
we have strong defenses to these lawsuits and will vigorously defend our position. Nevertheless,
the amounts claimed in these lawsuits are, in some instances, very substantial. In fiscal year
2006, we entered into settlement agreements regarding several RAL Cases, with the combined pretax
expense for such settlements totaling $70.2 million. There can be no assurances as to the ultimate
outcome of the remaining pending RAL Cases, or as to their impact on our financial statements. See
additional discussion of RAL Litigation in note 10 to the consolidated financial statements and in
Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings.

MORTGAGE SERVICES
This segment is primarily engaged in the origination and acquisition of non-prime mortgage loans
through an independent broker network and its relationship with HRBMC, the sale and securitization
of mortgage loans and residual interests, and the servicing of non-prime loans.

Three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to July 31, 2005
Mortgage Services revenues decreased $135.4 million, or 44.4%, for the three months ended July 31,
2006 compared to the prior year. Revenues decreased primarily as a
result of a decline in gains on sales of mortgage loans, partially offset by higher loan servicing revenue.

on sales of mortgage loans:

Gains
on sales of mortgage loans decreased $118.6 million and our net gain on sale -
gross margin declined 103 basis points from the prior year. These decreases resulted primarily from
higher loss provisions for loan repurchases recorded during the current quarter, lower premiums on
loan sales and lower origination volumes, partially offset by improved cost of acquisition.
During the quarter we experienced higher early payment defaults, resulting in an increase in
actual and expected loan repurchase activity. As a result, we recorded total loss provisions of
$102.1 million during the three months ended July 31, 2006,
which included $9.8 million in premium recapture reserves, compared to $16.9 million in the prior
year.
-23-
The
provision recorded in the current quarter consists of $46.1 million recorded on loans sold
during the current quarter and $56.0 million related to loans sold in prior quarters. Loss
provisions as a percent of origination volume increased 102 basis
points over the prior year. In establishing loss reserves on recent production, weve assumed all
loans that are currently delinquent and subject to contractual repurchase terms will be
repurchased, and that 5% of loans previously sold but not yet subject to contractual repurchase
terms will be repurchased. Based on historical experience, we assumed 30% of all loans we repurchase
will cure with no loss incurred, and of those that do not cure, we
assumed an average 15% loss
severity. See additional discussion of our reserves and repurchase
obligations in note 9 to our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Market interest rates, based on the two-year swap, increased from an average of 4.06% last
year to 5.51% in the current quarter. However, our WAC increased only 116 basis points, up to 8.68%
from 7.52% in the prior year. These changes in interest rates,
coupled the higher loss provisions, caused our premium on loan sales
to decline 72 basis points, to
1.58% from 2.30% last year.
The value of MSRs recorded in the first quarter increased to 64 basis points from 47 basis
points in the prior year due to changes in our assumptions used to
value MSRs and other factors. However this increase was offset by a decline in origination volumes, which
resulted in a net increase of $0.8 million in gains on sales of mortgage loans.
Our
cost of acquisition improved 56 basis points to 0.52% primarily
as a result of a decrease in the cost to acquire loans from HRBMC
and lower third-party broker commissions.
For the three months ended July 31, 2006, gains on sales of mortgage loans includes $10.4
million in gains on sales of loans to HRB Bank and $8.5 million in acquisition costs paid to HRBMC
to purchase its non-prime loans, both of which are eliminated in consolidation.
To mitigate the risk of short-term changes in market interest rates related to our loan
originations, we use interest rate swaps, forward loan sale commitments and rate-lock equivalents.
We generally enter into interest rate swap arrangements related to existing loan applications with
rate-lock commitments and for rate-lock commitments we expect to make in the next two to three
weeks. During the current quarter, we recorded a net $12.5 million in gains, compared to $23.9
million in the prior year, related to our various derivative instruments. See note 5 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the current quarter, our available-for-sale residual interests performed worse than
expected in our internal valuation models, with higher credit losses and interest rates than
originally modeled. We recorded impairments of $17.3 million in gains on sales of mortgage assets.
We also recorded favorable pretax mark-to-market adjustments, which increased the fair value of our
residual interests $3.4 million during the quarter. These adjustments were recorded, net of
write-downs of $2.9 million and deferred taxes of $0.2 million, in other comprehensive income and
will be accreted into income throughout the remaining life of those residual interests. Future
changes in interest rates or other assumptions, based on market conditions or actual loan pool
performance, could cause additional adjustments to the fair value of the residual interests and
could cause changes to the accretion of these residual interests in future periods.
Accretion of residual interests of $13.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006
represents a decrease of $17.3 million from the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the
sale of previously securitized residual interests during fiscal year 2006 and lower write-ups to
residual interest balances.

Loan servicing revenues increased $18.8 million, or 20.8%, compared to the prior
year. The increase reflects a higher average loan servicing portfolio. The average servicing
portfolio for the three months ended July 31, 2006 increased $4.3 billion, or 6.2%, to $74.0
billion. The annualized rate earned on our entire servicing portfolio was 35 basis points for the
current quarter, compared to 37 basis points in the prior year.
Total expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2006 were essentially flat compared to the
prior year. Cost of services increased $14.3 million as a result of a higher average servicing
portfolio during the current quarter and increased amortization of MSRs.
Cost of other revenues decreased $21.1 million, primarily due to $16.6 million in lower
compensation and benefits as a result of the restructuring in the prior year. Occupancy expenses
decreased $5.1 million primarily due to the closing of certain offices during the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.0 million due primarily to a $5.3
million reduction in costs allocated to HRBMC.
The pretax loss for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was $4.9 million compared to income
of $130.7 million in the prior year.

Three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to July 31, 2005
Business Services revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2006 increased $78.3 million, or
61.7%, from the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of American Express
Tax and Business Services, Inc. (AmexTBS) as of October 1, 2005, which increased accounting, tax
and consulting revenues $72.4 million.
Capital markets revenues declined due to a decline in the number of business valuation
projects. Other service revenues increased $3.1 million due to growth in our financial process
outsourcing and wealth management services.
Total expenses increased $86.1 million, or 64.4%, for the three months ended July 31, 2006
compared to the prior year. Cost of services increased $62.8 million, due to increases in
compensation and benefits and occupancy expenses. Compensation and benefits increased $50.0
million, primarily due to the AmexTBS acquisition. Increases in the number of personnel and the
average wage per employee, driven by marketplace competition for professional staff, also
contributed to the increase. Occupancy expenses increased $11.1 million primarily due to the
AmexTBS acquisition.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $22.3 million primarily due to
acquisitions and additional costs associated with our business development initiatives.
The pretax loss for the three months ended July 31, 2006 of $14.6 million compares to a pretax
loss of $6.8 million in the prior year.

Consumer Financial Services revenues, net of interest expense and loan loss reserves, for the
three months ended July 31, 2006 decreased $21.8 million, or 17.7%, from the prior year, primarily
due to lower gains on sales of mortgage loans.
Financial advisor production revenue, which consists primarily of fees earned on assets under
administration and commissions on customer trades, increased $1.9 million, or 4.2%, over the prior
year due primarily to higher annuitized revenues, partially offset by declining transactional
revenues. The following table summarizes the key drivers of production revenue:

Gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased $27.0 million, or 47.9%, from the prior
year primarily due to a 37.5% decline in origination volumes, coupled with lower margins on
mortgage loans sold. Origination volumes fell primarily due to a decline in applications as well as
a decline in the closing ratio. HRBMC sells its non-prime loans to OOMC and its prime loans to
other third-party buyers. For the three months ended July 31, 2006, gains on sales of mortgage
loans includes $8.5 million in gains on loans sold to OOMC, which is eliminated in consolidation.
Net interest revenue on margin lending and other increased $1.0 million, or 7.9%, from the
prior year, as a result of higher interest rates earned, partially offset by a decline in average
margin balances.

Total segment expenses decreased $17.7 million, or 14.0%, over the prior year. Cost
of other revenues decreased $21.3 million, or 60.6%, primarily as a result of the restructuring of
our mortgage operations in fiscal year 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 5.1%, primarily due to
expenses of HRB Bank, which opened May 1, 2006.
The pretax loss for Consumer Financial Services for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was
$7.8 million compared to the prior year loss of $3.7 million.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
These comments should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated balance sheets
and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows found on pages 1 and 3, respectively.
CAPITAL RESOURCES & LIQUIDITY BY SEGMENT
Our sources of capital include cash from operations, issuances of common stock and debt. We use
capital primarily to fund working capital requirements, pay dividends, repurchase our shares and
acquire businesses.
Cash From Operations. Cash used in operations totaled $458.4 million and $310.5 million for
the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating
activities is primarily due to a $155.1 million increase in
income tax payments.
Issuance of Common Stock. We issue shares of common stock, in accordance with our stock-based
compensation plans, out of treasury shares. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock totaled
$13.2 million and $32.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Dividends. Dividends paid totaled $40.5 million and $36.5 million for the three months ended
July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Share Repurchases. On June 7, 2006, our Board approved an additional authorization to
repurchase 20.0 million shares. During the three months ended July 31, 2006, we repurchased 8.1
million shares pursuant to this authorization and a prior authorization at an aggregate price of
$180.9 million or an average price of $22.22 per share. There are 22.4 million shares remaining
under these authorizations at July 31, 2006. We plan to continue to purchase shares on the open
market in accordance with this authorization, subject to various factors including the price of the
stock, the availability of excess cash, our ability to maintain liquidity and financial
flexibility, securities law restrictions, targeted capital levels and other investment
opportunities available.
Debt. We plan to refinance our $500.0 million in Senior Notes, which are due in
April 2007.
Restricted Cash. We hold certain cash balances that are restricted as to use.
Cash and cash equivalents restricted totaled $345.7 million at July 31, 2006 compared to $394.1
million at April 30, 2006. Consumer Financial Services held $315.0 million of this total segregated
in a special reserve account for the exclusive benefit of its broker-dealer customers. Restricted
cash held by Mortgage Services totaled $17.8 million and is held primarily for outstanding
commitments to fund mortgage loans. Restricted cash of $12.7 million at July 31, 2006 held by
Business Services is related to funds held to pay payroll taxes on behalf of its customers.

Net intercompany activities are excluded from investing and financing activities
within the segment cash flows. We believe that by excluding intercompany activities, the cash flows
by segment more clearly depicts the cash generated and used by each segment. Had intercompany
activities been included, those segments in a net lending situation would have been included in
investing activities, and those in a net borrowing situation would have been included in financing
activities.
Tax Services. Tax Services has historically been our largest provider of annual operating cash
flows. The seasonal nature of Tax Services generally results in a large positive operating cash
flow in the fourth quarter. Tax Services used $299.8 million in its current three-month operations
to cover off-season costs and working capital requirements. This segment used $7.4 million in
investing activities primarily related to capital expenditures and acquisitions, and used $36.5
million in financing activities related to book overdrafts.
Mortgage Services. This segment primarily generates cash as a result of the sale and
securitization of mortgage loans and residual interests, and as its residual interests begin to
cash flow. Mortgage Services provided $188.9 million in cash from operating activities primarily
due to higher accounts payable and escrow deposits, and loan sales exceeding loan originations
during the three months ended July 31, 2006. Cash flows used in investing activities consist of
$7.2 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by $4.6 million in cash receipts on
available-for-sale residual interests.
We believe the sources of liquidity available to the Mortgage Services segment are sufficient
for its needs.
Business Services. Business Services funding requirements are largely related to receivables
for completed work and work in process. We provide funding sufficient to cover their working
capital needs. This segment provided $41.4 million in operating cash flows during the first three
months of the year. Business Services used $7.1 million in investing activities primarily related
to capital expenditures.
Consumer Financial Services. In the first three months of fiscal year
2007, Consumer Financial Services provided $45.5 million in cash from its operating activities
primarily due to the timing of cash deposits that are restricted for the benefit of its
broker-dealer customers. The segment also used $138.6 million in investing activities primarily for
the purchase of mortgage loans held for investment and provided $394.2 million in financing
activities due primarily to $404.0 million in FDIC-insured deposits held at HRB Bank.
To finance our prime mortgage loan originations, we utilize an on-balance sheet warehouse
facility with capacity up to $25 million. This annual facility bears interest at one-month LIBOR
plus 140 to 200 basis points. As of July 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006, the balance outstanding under
this facility was $5.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
HRB Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which extends credit availability to member
banks based on eligible collateral and asset size. At July 31, 2006, HRB Bank had FHLB advance
capacity of $198.0 million, but no amounts had been drawn on this facility.
We believe the funding sources for Consumer Financial Services are stable. Liquidity risk
within this segment is primarily limited to maintaining sufficient capital levels to obtain
securities lending liquidity to support margin borrowing by customers.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
In March 2006, the OTS approved the federal savings bank charter of HRB Bank. The bank commenced
operations on May 1, 2006, at which time H&R Block, Inc. became a savings and loan holding company.
As a savings and loan holding company, H&R Block, Inc. is subject to regulation by the OTS. Federal
savings associations are subject to extensive regulation and examination by the OTS, their primary
federal regulator, as well as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). H&R Block, Inc. is
now subject to a three percent minimum ratio of adjusted tangible capital to adjusted total assets,
as defined by the OTS, and HRB Bank is subject to various OTS capital requirements. A banking
institutions capital category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant
capital measures, which include a risk-based capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure, a
tangible equity ratio measure, and certain other factors. See note 8 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements for additional discussion of regulatory capital requirements and
classifications.
HRB Bank is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of H&R Block, Inc. and is insured by the
FDIC. If an insured institution fails, claims for administrative expenses of the receiver and for
deposits in U.S. branches (including claims of the FDIC as subrogee of the failed institution) have
priority over the claims of general unsecured creditors. In addition, the FDIC has authority to
require H&R Block, Inc. to reimburse it for losses it incurs in connection with the failure of HRB
Bank or with the FDICs provision of assistance to a banking subsidiary that is in danger of
failure.
Other than the items discussed above, there have been no material changes in our regulatory
environment from those reported at April 30, 2006 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following discussion is an update to previous disclosure regarding certain of our critical
accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the complete critical accounting
policies disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006.
For all of our critical accounting policies, we caution that future events rarely develop precisely
as forecasted, and estimates routinely require adjustment and may require material adjustment.
Gains on Sales of Mortgage Assets
We sell substantially all of the non-prime mortgage loans we originate to warehouse trusts (the
Trusts) which are qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs), with servicing rights generally
retained. Prime mortgage loans are sold in loan sales, servicing released, to third-party buyers.
Gains on sales of mortgage assets are recognized when control of the assets is surrendered (when
loans are sold to third-party buyers, including the Trusts) and are based on the difference between
net proceeds received (cash proceeds less recourse obligations) and the allocated cost of the
assets sold. We determine the allocated cost of assets sold based on the relative fair values of
net proceeds (i.e. the loans sold), retained MSRs and the beneficial interest in Trusts, which
represents our residual interest in the ultimate expected outcome from the disposition of the loans
by the Trusts.
The following is an example of a hypothetical gain on sale calculation:

Variations in the assumptions we use affect the estimated fair values and the
reported gains on sales. Gains on sales of mortgage loans totaled $45.6 million and $181.0 million
for three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
-32-
Our recourse obligation relates to potential losses that could be incurred related to the
repurchase of sold loans or indemnification of losses as a result of early payment defaults or
breaches of other representations and warranties customary to the mortgage banking
industry.
The substantial majority of loan repurchases or indemnification for losses occurs within nine
months from the date the loans are sold. We estimate the fair value of the recourse liability at
the time the loan is sold. Provisions for losses are charged to gain
on sale of mortgage loans and credited
to the recourse liability while actual losses are charged to the liability. We evaluate, and adjust
if necessary, the fair value of the recourse obligation quarterly based on current information and
trends in underlying loan performance. The amount of losses we expect
to incur
related to the repurchase of sold loans depends primarily on the frequency of early payment
defaults, the rate at which defaulted loans subsequently become current on payments (cure rate),
the propensity of the buyer of the loans to demand recourse under the loan sale agreement and the
severity of loss incurred on loans which have been repurchased. The frequency of early payment
defaults, cure rates and loss severity may vary depending on the creditworthiness of the borrower
and economic factors such as home price appreciation and interest rates. To the extent actual
losses related to repurchase activity are different from our estimates, the fair value of our recourse obligation
will increase or decrease.
During the quarter ended July 31, 2006 we experienced higher early payment defaults, resulting
in an increase in actual and expected loan repurchase activity. As a result, we recorded total loss
provisions of $102.1 million during the three months ended
July 31, 2006, which included $9.8 million in premium
recapture reserves, compared to $16.9 million
in the prior year. Loss provisions recorded in the current quarter consist of $46.1 million
recorded on loans sold during the current quarter and $56.0 million related to loans sold in prior
quarters. At July 31, 2006, we assumed that substantially all loans that failed to make timely
payments according to contractual early payment default provisions will be repurchased, and that 5%
of loans will be repurchased from sales that have not yet reached the contractual date upon which
repurchases can be determined. Based on historical experience and review of current early payment
default, cure rate and loss severity trends, we assumed 30% of all loans we repurchase will cure
with no loss incurred, and of those that do not cure, we assumed an average 15% loss severity.
Based on our analysis as of July 31, 2006, we estimated our liability for recourse obligations
to be $104.0 million. The sensitivity of the recourse liability to 10% and 20% adverse changes in
loss assumptions is $10.4 million and $20.8 million, respectively.
Valuation of MSRs
MSRs are recorded when we sell to third-parties with the servicing of those loans retained.
At the time of the loan sale, we determine and record on our balance sheet the
allocated historical cost of the MSRs attributable to loans sold, as
illustrated above. These MSRs are amortized into expense over the estimated life of the underlying
loans. MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or market (LOCOM). On a quarterly basis, MSRs are
assessed to determine if our carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair value is estimated using a
discounted cash flow approach by stratifying the MSRs based on underlying loan characteristics,
including the calendar year the loans are sold. To the extent fair value is less than carrying value we
record an impairment charge and adjust the carrying value of the MSRs.
A market
price of our MSRs is not readily available because non prime MSRs are not actively
traded in the marketplace. Therefore, the fair value of our MSRs is estimated using a discounted
cash flow approach, using valuation methods and assumptions we believe incorporate
assumptions used by market participants. Certain of these assumptions are subjective and require a
high level of management judgment. MSR valuation assumptions are reviewed and approved by
management on a quarterly basis. In determining the assumptions to be used to value MSRs, we review
the historical performance of our MSRs, including backtesting of the performance of certain
individual assumptions (comparison of actual results to those expected). In addition, we
periodically review third-party valuations of certain of our MSRs and peer group MSR valuation
surveys to assess the reasonableness of our valuation assumptions and resulting fair value
estimates.
Critical assumptions used in our discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment
speeds, discount rates, costs to service and ancillary income. Variations in our assumptions could
materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to our assumptions are made when current
trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Certain assumptions, such as
ancillary interest income, may change from quarter to quarter as market conditions and projected
interest rates change. Other assumptions, such as expected prepayment speeds, discount rates and
costs of servicing may change less frequently as they are less sensitive to near-term market
conditions.
Prepayment speeds may be affected
by economic factors such as home price appreciation, market interest
rates, the availability of
other credit products to our borrowers, and customer payment
patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments including full payoffs,
additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations. As
market interest rates decline, prepayment speeds will generally increase as customers refinance
existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. As prepayment speeds increase,
anticipated cash flows will generally decline resulting in a potential reduction, or impairment, to
the fair value of the capitalized MSRs. Alternatively, an increase in
market interest rates may
cause a decrease in prepayment speeds, and an increase in fair value of MSRs. Many of our loans
include prepayment penalties during the first two to three years. Prepayment penalties tend to
lower prepayment speeds during the early life of our loans, regardless of market interest rate movements,
therefore decreasing the sensitivity of expected prepayment speeds to changes in interest rates.
Prepayment speeds are estimated based on historical experience and
third-party market sources. Changes are made as necessary to ensure such estimates reflect current
market conditions specific to our individual MSR stratas.
-33-
Discount rates are determined by reviewing market rates used by market participants. These
rates may vary based on economic factors such as market perception of risk and changes in the
risk-free interest rates. Changes are made as necessary to ensure such estimates reflect current
market conditions for MSR assets.
Costs to service includes the cost to process loan payments, make payments to bondholders,
collect delinquent accounts and administrative foreclosure activities. Market trends and changes to
underlying expenses are evaluated to determine if updates to assumptions are necessary. The
economic factors affecting costs to service include unemployment rates, the housing market and the
cost of labor. Higher unemployment may lead to higher delinquency and foreclosure rates resulting
in higher costs to service loans. The housing market, including home price appreciation rates,
impacts sale prices for homes in foreclosure and our borrowers ability to refinance or sell their
properties in the event that they can no longer afford their homes, thus impacting delinquencies
and foreclosures.
Ancillary fees
and income include late charges, non-sufficient funds fees, collection fees and
interest earning funds held in deposit. These fees could be impacted by state legislation efforts,
customer behavior, fee waiver policies and industry trends.
During the
period from July 31, 2005 to the current quarter ended July 31, 2006, assumptions
used in valuing MSRs have been updated. The
significant changes and their impact, both in dollars and basis points of loans sold during the quarter
of initial implementation, are outlined below beginning with the most recent changes.

During the quarter
ended July 31, 2006, we updated our assumption related to the
average number of days of interest collected on funds received as a result of prepayments
(Ancillary fees on the table above). We decreased the average number of days of interest
collected following a review of the servicing portfolio data. During the quarter ended January 31,
2006, we increased the discount rate assumption (Discount rate on the table above) used to
determine the fair value of MSRs from 15% to 18% as a result of an analysis of third party data
including rates used by other market participants. During the quarter ended October 31, 2005, we
updated our assumption for number of days of interest paid to
investors (Costs to service
on the table above) on monthly loan prepayments upon the completion of a review of the historical
performance of the servicing portfolio. The cumulative net impact of the changes outlined above and
other less significant changes made during the period from July 31, 2005 to July 31, 2006 was an
increase of approximately 5 basis points for MSRs initially recorded in the current quarter compared to the
prior year quarter.
The changes
outlined above are applied not only when we determine the allocated
historical cost of MSRs,
but are also used in our evaluation of the fair value of the MSR portfolio in conjunction with our
impairment review. The changes in assumptions primarily impact the recognition of our initial MSR
value through calculation of the gain on sale of mortgage assets. Because MSRs are recorded at
LOCOM, we are unable to adjust our MSR portfolio value upward, thus have not recognized the
positive impact of the assumption changes on the MSR portfolio as a whole.
MSRs with
a book value of $275.3 million are included in our condensed
consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2006.
While changes in any assumption could impact the value of our MSRs, the primary drivers of
significant changes to the value of our MSRs are prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to
service and ancillary fees. Below is a table showing the effect of a variation of a particular
assumption on the fair value of our MSRs without changing any other
assumptions. In reality,
changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the
sensitivities.

The information below should be read in conjunction with the information included in note 10
to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
RAL LITIGATION
We reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006, certain events and
information regarding lawsuits throughout the country regarding our refund anticipation loan
programs (collectively, RAL Cases). The RAL Cases have involved a variety of legal theories
asserted by plaintiffs. These theories include allegations that, among other things, disclosures in
the RAL applications were inadequate, misleading and untimely; the RAL interest rates were usurious
and unconscionable; we did not disclose that we would receive part of the finance charges paid by
the customer for such loans; untrue, misleading or deceptive statements in marketing RALs; breach
of state laws on credit service organizations; breach of contract, unjust enrichment, unfair and
-35-
deceptive acts or practices; violations of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations
Act; violations of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and unfair competition with
respect to debt collection activities; and that we owe, and breached, a fiduciary duty to our
customers in connection with the RAL program.
The amounts claimed in the RAL Cases have been very substantial in some instances. We have
successfully defended against numerous RAL Cases, some of which were dismissed on our motions for
dismissal or summary judgment, and others were dismissed voluntarily by the plaintiffs after denial
of class certification. Other cases have been settled, with one settlement resulting in a pretax
expense of $43.5 million in fiscal year 2003 (the Texas RAL Settlement) and other settlements
resulting in a combined pretax expense in fiscal year 2006 of $70.2 million (the 2006
Settlements). During the three months ended July 31, 2006, the 2006 settlements were
paid in full.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the remaining RAL Cases and we intend to defend
them vigorously. There can be no assurances, however, as to the outcome of the pending RAL Cases
individually or in the aggregate. Likewise, there can be no assurances regarding the impact of the
RAL Cases on our financial statements. We have accrued our best estimate of the probable loss
related to the RAL Cases. The following is updated information regarding the pending RAL Cases that
are attorney general actions or class actions or putative class actions:
Lynne A. Carnegie, et al. v. Household International, Inc., H&R Block, Inc., et al., (formerly
Joel E. Zawikowski, et al. v. Beneficial National Bank, H&R Block, Inc., Block Financial
Corporation, et al.) Case No. 98 C 2178, United States District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, Eastern Division, instituted on April 18, 1998. This case constitutes one of the 2006
Settlements. On April 19, 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement regarding this case,
subject to final court approval. The settlement was approved by the court on August 28, 2006.
PEACE OF MIND LITIGATION
Lorie J. Marshall, et al. v. H&R Block Tax Services, Inc., et al., Civil Action 2003L000004, in the
Circuit Court of Madison County, Illinois, is a class action case filed on January 18, 2002, that
was granted class certification on August 27, 2003. Plaintiffs claims consist of five counts
relating to the Peace of Mind (POM) program under which the applicable tax return preparation
subsidiary assumes liability for additional tax assessments attributable to tax return preparation
error. The plaintiffs allege that the sale of POM guarantees constitutes (i) statutory fraud by
selling insurance without a license, (ii) an unfair trade practice, by omission and by cramming
(i.e., charging customers for the guarantee even though they did not request it or want it), and
(iii) a breach of fiduciary duty. In August 2003, the court certified the plaintiff classes
consisting of all persons who from January 1, 1997 to final judgment (i) were charged a separate
fee for POM by H&R Block or a defendant H&R Block class member; (ii) reside in certain class
states and were charged a separate fee for POM by H&R Block or a defendant H&R Block class member
not licensed to sell insurance; and (iii) had an unsolicited charge for POM posted to their bills
by H&R Block or a defendant H&R Block class member. Persons who received the POM guarantee
through an H&R Block Premium office and persons who reside in Alabama are excluded from the
plaintiff class. The court also certified a defendant class consisting of any entity with names
that include H&R Block or HRB, or are otherwise affiliated or associated with H&R Block Tax
Services, Inc., and that sold or sells the POM product. The trial court subsequently denied the
defendants motion to certify class certification issues for interlocutory appeal. Discovery is
proceeding. No trial date has been set.
There is one other putative class action pending against us in Texas that involves the POM
guarantee. This case is being tried before the same judge that presided over the Texas RAL
Settlement, involves the same plaintiffs attorneys that are involved in the Marshall litigation in
Illinois, and contains similar allegations. No class has been certified in this case.
We believe the claims in the POM actions are without merit, and we intend to defend them
vigorously. The amounts claimed in the POM actions are substantial, however, and there can be no
assurances as to the outcome of these pending actions individually or in the aggregate. Likewise,
there can be no assurances regarding the impact of these actions on our consolidated financial
statements.

EXPRESS IRA LITIGATION
On March 15, 2006, the New York Attorney General filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State
of New York, County of New York (Index No. 06/401110) entitled The People of New York v. H&R Block,
Inc. and H&R Block Financial Advisors, Inc. The complaint alleges fraudulent business practices,
deceptive acts and practices, common law fraud and breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the
Express IRA product. The complaint seeks equitable relief, disgorgement of profits, damages and
restitution, civil penalties and punitive damages. A number of civil actions were subsequently
filed against us concerning the matter. We intend to defend these cases vigorously, but there are
no assurances as to their outcome.
SECURITIES AND SHAREHOLDER DERIVATIVE LITIGATION
Six shareholder derivative actions purportedly brought on behalf of the Company (which is named as
a nominal defendant) are pending against certain of the Companys current and former directors
and officers. These cases generally involve allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of
control, gross mismanagement, waste and unjust enrichment pertaining to (i) the Companys
restatement of financial results due to errors in determining the Companys state effective income
tax rate and (ii) certain of the Companys products and other business activities. We intend to
defend these cases vigorously, but there are no assurances as to their outcome. These are Hibbard
v. H&R Block, Inc., et al., in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Missouri, Case No. 06- CV -06059 (instituted on May 16, 2006); Gottlieb v. H&R Block, et al., in
the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Case No. 06-CV-00496
(instituted on June 5, 2006); Lebowitz v. H&R Block, et al., in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Missouri, Case No. 06-CV-00496 (instituted on June 5, 2006); Staehr v.
H&R Block, Inc., et al., in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri,
Case No. 06- CV-00284 (instituted on April 5, 2006); Momentum Partners v. H&R Block, et al., in
the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Case No. 06- CV-00465
(instituted on June 8, 2006); and Iron Workers Local 16 Pension Fund v. H&R Block, et al., in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Case No. 06- CV-00466
(instituted on June 8, 2006).
In addition to the shareholder derivative actions, three putative class actions alleging
violations of certain securities laws are pending against the Company and certain of its current
and former officers and directors. These actions allege, among other things, deceptive, material
and misleading financial statements, failure to prepare financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and concealment of the potential for lawsuits stemming
from the allegedly fraudulent nature of the Companys operations. The actions seek unspecified
damages and equitable relief. We intend to defend these cases vigorously, but there are no
assurances as to their outcome. These cases are Nettie v. H&R Block, Inc. and Mark A. Ernst in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Case No. 06- CV- 0235
(instituted on March 17, 2006); Winters v. H&R Block, Inc., et al., in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Missouri, Case No. 06-CV-00243 (instituted on March 20, 2006);
and Kadagian v. H&R Block, Inc., et al., in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Missouri , Case No. 06-CV-00574 (instituted on March 24, 2006).
OTHER CLAIMS AND LITIGATION
As reported previously, the NASD brought charges against HRBFA regarding the sale by HRBFA of Enron
debentures in 2001. A hearing for this matter commenced in May 2006 and was recessed until the fall
of 2006. We intend to defend the NASD charges vigorously, although there can be no assurances
regarding the outcome and resolution of the matter.
As part of an industry-wide review, the IRS is investigating tax-planning strategies that
certain RSM clients utilized during fiscal years 2000 through 2003. Specifically, the IRS is
examining these strategies to determine whether RSM complied with tax shelter reporting and listing
regulations and whether such strategies were abusive as defined by the IRS. If the IRS were to
determine that RSM did not comply with the tax shelter reporting and listing regulations, it might
assess fines or penalties against RSM. Moreover, if the IRS were to determine that the tax planning
strategies were inappropriate, clients that utilized the strategies could face penalties and
interest for underpayment
-37-
of taxes. Some of these clients are seeking or may attempt to seek recovery from RSM. There can be
no assurance regarding the outcome of and resolution of this matter.
We have from time to time been party to claims and lawsuits not discussed herein arising out
of our business operations. These claims and lawsuits include actions by state attorneys general,
individual plaintiffs, and cases in which plaintiffs seek to represent a class of similarly
situated customers. The amounts claimed in these claims and lawsuits are substantial in some
instances, and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation and claims is difficult to
predict. Some of these claims and lawsuits pertain to RALs, the electronic filing of customers
income tax returns, the POM guarantee program, business valuation services and our Express IRA
program. We believe we have meritorious defenses to each of these claims, and we are defending or
intend to defend them vigorously, although there is no assurance as to their outcome.
In addition to the aforementioned types of cases, we are parties to claims and
lawsuits that we consider to be ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, including
claims and lawsuits (Other Claims) concerning investment products, the preparation of customers
income tax returns, the fees charged customers for various products and services, losses incurred
by customers with respect to their investment accounts, relationships with franchisees, denials of
mortgage loans, contested mortgage foreclosures, other aspects of the mortgage business,
intellectual property disputes, employment matters and contract disputes. We believe we have
meritorious defenses to each of the Other Claims, and we are defending them vigorously. While we
cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately prevail in each instance, we believe the amount,
if any, we are required to pay in the discharge of liabilities or settlements in these Other Claims
will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Consumer Financial Services. H&R Block, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company, and HRB
Bank is a federal savings bank, which is subject to regulation by the OTS and FDIC. Federal and
state laws and regulations govern numerous matters including: changes in the ownership or control
of banks and bank holding companies; maintenance of adequate capital and the financial condition of
a financial institution; permissible types, amounts and terms of extensions of credit and
investments; permissible non-banking activities; the level of reserves against deposits; and
restrictions on dividend payments. If we do not comply with these regulations, it could result in
regulatory actions and negative publicity, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Other than the item discussed above, there have been no material changes in our risk factors
from those reported at April 30, 2006 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

objectives based on the Companys total shareholder return as measured against a broad market index
and/or cumulative financial performance tied to specific business responsibilities. The actual
number of performance shares an executive will receive will vary based on actual performance
against the pre-established performance objectives, with the maximum number of shares received
being one and one-half times the target award amount and the minimum number of shares received
being one-half of the target award amount. The grant of stock options and performance shares will
be made pursuant to the terms of the 2003 Long-Term Executive Compensation Plan.

Performance Criteria for Fiscal 2007 Short-Term Incentive Compensation
The Companys short-term incentive compensation is based upon annual financial targets tied to
business unit or overall corporate results. Fiscal year 2007 performance criteria will vary among
business segments, but generally will consist of the following: (i) diluted earnings per share
growth; (ii) business segment pre-tax earnings growth; (iii) revenue unit growth; and (iv) improved
cost-of-service performance. Participants in the Companys short-term incentive programs can earn
more or less than the target award (from 0% to 200% of the target award) depending upon how actual
results compare to the pre-established performance targets.
