Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and subsidiaries (“ADP” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  The Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto are unaudited.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results for the interim periods.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year.  The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”).

Note 2.  New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2010, the company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” and ASU 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements.”  ASU 2009-13 modifies the guidance related to accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables by providing an alternative when vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) does not exist to determine the selling price of a deliverable.  The alternative when VSOE or TPE does not exist is management’s best estimate of the selling price of the deliverable. Consideration for multiple deliverables is then allocated based upon the relative selling price of th e deliverables and revenue is recognized as earned for each deliverable. ASU 2009-14 modifies the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s functionality. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU 2010-20 requires greater transparency about a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The guidance is intended to provide disclosures to help facilitate the evaluation of the company’s credit risk, how that risk is analyzed and the reasons for changes in the allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2010-20 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Note 3.  Earnings per Share (“EPS”)

	Basic		Effect of Employee Stock Option Shares		Effect of Employee Restricted Stock Shares		Diluted

2010
Net earnings from continuing operations	$	278.5	$	-	$	-	$	278.5

Weighted average shares (in millions)		501.4		0.8		1.5		503.7

Options to purchase 14.8 million and 33.7 million shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices exceeded the average market price of outstanding common shares for the respective period.

Note 4.  Other (Income) Expense, net

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2010			2009
Interest income on corporate funds	$	(30.7	)	$	(36.3	)
Realized gains on available-for-sale securities		(12.2	)		(8.0	)
Realized losses on available-for-sale securities		0.4			7.3
Impairment losses on available-for-sale securities		-			5.3
Impairment losses on assets held for sale		8.6			-
Gains on sales of buildings		(1.8	)		(1.5	)
Other, net		(1.5	)		(0.5	)
Other (income) expense, net	$	(37.2	)	$	(33.7	)

Proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $826.9 million and $1,007.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At September 30, 2010, the Company reclassified assets related to two buildings as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such assets were previously reported in property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As the carrying amount of the assets held for sale exceeded their fair value less costs to sell, the Company recorded impairment losses of $8.6 million in other (income) expense, net, on the Statement of Consolidated Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold two buildings and, as a result, recorded a gain of $1.8 million in other (income) expense, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

At September 30, 2009, the Company concluded that it had the intent to sell certain securities for which unrealized losses of $5.3 million were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As such, the Company realized impairment losses of $5.3 million in other (income) expense, net on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company concluded that it had the intent to sell certain securities with unrealized losses and recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company sold all such securities for which we previously concluded we had the intent to sell.

The Company has an outsourcing agreement with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") pursuant to which the Company provides data center outsourcing services, primarily consisting of information technology and service delivery network services. As a result of this agreement, the Company recognized income of $27.3 million and $26.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which is offset by expenses directly associated with providing such services of $26.7 million and $25.4 million, respectively, both of which were recorded in other (income) expense, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.  The Company had a receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets from Broadridge for the services under this agreement of $9.1 million and $8.9 million as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. In fiscal 2010, Broadridge notified the Company that it would not extend the outsourcing agreement beyond its current expiration date of June 30, 2012.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact on results of operations, if any, that this will have and does not currently anticipate this will have a material impact.

Note 5.  Acquisitions

On August 16, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Cobalt, a leading provider of digital marketing solutions for the automotive industry that aligns with Dealer Services’ global layered applications strategy and strongly supports Dealer Services’ long-term growth strategy, for approximately $402.5 million in cash, which is net of cash acquired.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the purchase price allocation period, which is generally one year from the acquisition date.  The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the measurement of certain assets and liabilities.

The preliminary purchase price allocation for Cobalt is as follows:

Accounts receivable, net	$	42.6
Goodwill		311.2
Identifiable intangible assets		111.6
Other assets		56.4
Total assets acquired	$	521.8
Total liabilities acquired	$	97.6

The Company determined the purchase price allocations for this acquisition based on estimates of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, utilizing recognized valuation techniques, including the income and market approaches.  Goodwill for Cobalt, which is not deductible for tax purposes, resulted from the expected impact to Dealer Services’ long-term growth strategy.  Intangible assets for Cobalt, which totaled $111.6 million, included customer contracts and lists, software and trademarks that are being amortized over a weighted average life of approximately 11 years.

In addition to Cobalt, the Company acquired two businesses during the three months ended September 30, 2010 for approximately $72.8 million, which is net of cash acquired.  These acquisitions resulted in approximately $34.6 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled approximately $41.4 million for these two acquisitions, included customer contracts and lists, software and trademarks that are being amortized over a weighted average life of approximately 11 years.  These two acquisitions were not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 6.  Divestitures

On March 24, 2010, the Company completed the sale of the non-core Commercial Systems business (the “Commercial business”) for approximately $21.6 million in cash.  The Commercial business was previously reported in the Dealer Services segment.  In connection with the disposal of this business, the Company classified the results of this business as discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Operating results for discontinued operations were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2009
Revenues	$	6.7
Earnings from discontinued operations before income taxes		1.7
Provision for income taxes		0.5
Net earnings from discontinued operations	$	1.2

There were no assets or liabilities of discontinued operations as of September 30, 2010 or June 30, 2010.

Client funds obligations represent the Company's contractual obligations to remit funds to satisfy clients' payroll and tax payment obligations and are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time that the Company impounds funds from clients.  The client funds obligations represent liabilities that will be repaid within one year of the balance sheet date.  The Company has reported client funds obligations as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets totaling $21,821.4 million and $18,136.7 million as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  The Company has classified funds held for clients as a current asset since these funds are held solely for the purposes of satisfying the client funds obligations.  The Company has reported the cash flows related to the purc hases of corporate and client funds marketable securities and related to the proceeds from the sales and maturities of corporate and client funds marketable securities on a gross basis in the investing section of the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.  The Company has reported the cash inflows and outflows related to client funds investments with original maturities of 90 days or less on a net basis within net increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents and other restricted assets held to satisfy client funds obligations in the investing section of the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.  The Company has reported the cash flows related to the cash received from and paid on behalf of clients on a net basis within net increase in client funds obligations in the financing section of the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

Approximately 86% of the available-for-sale securities were rated AAA or AA at September 30, 2010, as rated by Moody's, Standard & Poor's and, for Canadian securities, Dominion Bond Rating Service.  All available-for-sale securities were rated as investment grade at September 30, 2010.

Available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2010 that have been in an unrealized loss position for periods of less than 12 months are as follows:

	Unrealized losses			Fair market value
U.S. Treasury and direct obligations of  U.S. government agencies	$	(0.1	)	$	26.8
Corporate bonds		(0.3	)		66.3
Other securities		(0.8	)		32.6
	$	(1.2	)	$	125.7

At September 30, 2010, the Company concluded that it did not have the intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2010 and that the Company would not be required to sell such securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery.  Additionally, the Company evaluated the securities in an unrealized loss position to determine the nature of the losses, utilizing a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors, including whether the Company expects to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the security, information about current and past events of the issuer, and the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost basis.  At September 30, 2010, the Company concluded that unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities held at Septem ber 30, 2010 were not credit losses and were attributable to other factors, including changes in interest rates.  As a result, the Company concluded that the $1.2 million in unrealized losses on such securities should be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2010.

Expected maturities of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2010 are as follows:

Due in one year or less	$	2,884.5
Due after one year to two years		3,041.1
Due after two years to three years		3,320.8
Due after three years to four years		1,754.2
Due after four years		4,942.0
Total available-for-sale securities	$	15,942.6

Note 8.  Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is based upon the Company’s principle or most advantageous market for a specific asset or liability.

US GAAP provides for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:

Level 1	Fair value is determined based upon quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are traded in active markets.
Level 2	Fair value is determined based upon inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including: ·quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets ·quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active ·inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or ·inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3	Fair value is determined based upon inputs that are unobservable and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based upon the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows).

Available-for-sale securities included in Level 1 are valued using closing prices for identical instruments that are traded on active exchanges.  Available-for-sale securities included in Level 2 are valued utilizing inputs obtained from an independent pricing service.  To determine the fair value of our Level 2 investments, a variety of inputs are utilized, including benchmark yields, reported trades, non-binding broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, new issue data, and monthly payment information.  Over 99% of our Level 2 investments are valued utilizing inputs obtained from a pricing service.  The Company reviews the values generated by the independent pricing service for reasonableness by comparing the valuations received fro m the independent pricing service to valuations from at least one other observable source.  The Company has not adjusted the prices obtained from the independent pricing service.  The Company has no available-for-sale securities included in Level 3.

The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.  In certain instances, the inputs used to measure fair value may meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy.  The significant input with the lowest level priority is used to determine the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2010.  Included in the table are available-for-sale securities within corporate investments of $139.5 million and funds held for clients of $15,803.1 million.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
U.S Treasury and direct obligations of U.S. government agencies	$	-	$	6,076.6	$	-	$	6,076.6
Corporate bonds		-		5,571.0		-		5,571.0
Asset-backed securities		-		850.9		-		850.9
Canadian government obligations and Canadian government agency obligations		-		1,039.4		-		1,039.4
Other securities		15.0		2,389.7		-		2,404.7
Total available-for-sale securities	$	15.0	$	15,927.6	$	-	$	15,942.6

Additionally, the fair value of the assets held for sale was determined based upon current market prices for similar assets in an active market.  Therefore, such fair value was determined to fall into Level 2 within the hierarchy.

Note 9.  Receivables

Accounts receivable, net is recorded based upon the gross amount the Company expects to receive from its clients, which is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $57.6 million and $49.0 million at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

The Company's receivables also include notes receivable for the financing of the sale of computer systems, primarily from automotive, heavy truck and powersports dealers.  Long-term receivables are recorded based upon the gross amount the Company expects to receive from its clients, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and unearned income.  The unearned income represents the excess of the gross receivables over the sales price of the computer systems financed and is amortized using the effective interest method.  The carrying value of notes receivable approximates fair value.

These notes receivable are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

	September 30, 2010						June 30, 2010
	Current			Long-term			Current			Long-term
Receivables	$	100.9		$	151.8		$	110.3		$	155.0
Less:
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(9.3	)		(15.8	)		(9.4	)		(16.1	)
Unearned income		(9.4	)		(9.1	)		(9.9	)		(9.5	)
	$	82.2		$	126.9		$	91.0		$	129.4

		(1,541.3	)		(1,467.4	)
Intangible assets, net	$	684.1		$	542.4

Other intangibles consist primarily of purchased rights, covenants not to compete, patents and trademarks (acquired directly or through acquisitions).  All of the intangible assets have finite lives and, as such, are subject to amortization.  The weighted average remaining useful life of the intangible assets is 7 years (3 years for software and software licenses, 10 years for customer contracts and lists, and 7 years for other intangibles).  Amortization of intangible assets totaled $40.1 million and $38.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Estimated future amortization expense of the Company's existing intangible assets is as follows:

	Amount
Nine months ending June 30, 2011	$	137.9
Twelve months ending June 30, 2012	$	142.6
Twelve months ending June 30, 2013	$	96.0
Twelve months ending June 30, 2014	$	66.8
Twelve months ending June 30, 2015	$	53.5
Twelve months ending June 30, 2016	$	38.6

The Company has not incurred significant costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Note 11.  Short-term Financing

The Company has a $2.5 billion, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders that matures in June 2011. In addition, the Company has a three-year $1.5 billion credit facility maturing in June 2013 that contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments.  The Company also has an existing $2.25 billion five-year credit facility that matures in June 2011 that also contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments.  The interest rate applicable to the committed borrowings is tied to LIBOR, the federal funds effective rate or the prime rate depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing.  The Company is also required to pay facility fees on the credit agreements.  The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and to provide funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary.  The Company had no borrowings through September 30, 2010 under the credit agreements.

The Company’s U.S. short-term funding requirements related to client funds are sometimes obtained through a short-term commercial paper program, which provides for the issuance of up to $6.25 billion in aggregate maturity value of commercial paper. The Company’s commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s and Prime-1 by Moody’s.  These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities.  Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days.  At September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company had no commercial paper outstanding.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s average borrowings were $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.2% for both periods.  The weighted average maturity of the Company’s commercial paper during the three months ended September 30, 2010 was less than two days.

The Company’s U.S. and Canadian short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements.  These agreements are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities.  These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days.  The Company has $2 billion available to it on a committed basis under these reverse repurchase agreements.  At September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, there were no outstanding obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $ 608.9 million and $512.6 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively.

Note 12.  Debt

Components of long-term debt are as follows:

	September 30, 2010			June 30, 2010
Industrial revenue bonds	$	21.6		$	25.4

		38.4			42.6
Less: current portion		(2.8	)		(2.8	)
	$	35.6		$	39.8

The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds and other debt, included above, approximates carrying value.

Note 13.  Employee Benefit Plans

A.  Stock Plans.  The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in net earnings based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant.  Stock-based compensation consists of the following:

·   Stock Options.  Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the dates of grant.  Stock options are issued under a grade vesting schedule.  Options granted prior to July 1, 2008 generally vest ratably over five years and have a term of 10 years.  Options granted after July 1, 2008 generally vest ratably

over four years and have a term of 10 years.  Compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the stock option award.

·   Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

o   Prior to January 1, 2009, the Company offered an employee stock purchase plan that allowed eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 85% of the market value for the common stock at the date the purchase price for the offering was determined.  No further compensation expense related to this stock purchase plan was recorded after the completion of the vesting period of the final offering under such plan on December 31, 2009.

o   Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company offers an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 95% of the market value for the Company's common stock on the last day of the offering period.  This plan has been deemed non-compensatory and therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded.

·   Restricted Stock.

o   Time-Based Restricted Stock.  The Company has issued time-based restricted stock to certain key employees.  These shares are restricted as to transfer and in certain circumstances must be returned to the Company at the original purchase price.  The Company records stock compensation expense relating to the issuance of restricted stock based on market prices on the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the period in which the transfer restrictions exist, which is up to five years from the date of grant.

o   Performance-Based Restricted Stock.  The performance-based restricted stock program has a one-year performance period, and a subsequent six-month service period.  Under this program, the Company communicates "target awards" to employees at the beginning of a performance period and, as such, dividends are not paid in respect of the "target awards" during the performance period.  After the performance period, if the performance targets are achieved, associates are eligible to receive dividends on any shares awarded under the program.  The performance target is based on EPS growth over the performance period, with possible payouts ranging from 0% to 150% of the "target awards".  Stock-based compensation expense is measured based upon the fair value o f the award on the grant date.  Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms of approximately 18 months, based upon the probability the performance target will be met.

The Company currently utilizes treasury stock to satisfy stock option exercises, issuances under the Company's employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock awards.  Stock-based compensation expense of $13.9 million and $17.5 million was recognized in earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as well as related tax benefits of $5.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2010		2009
Operating expenses	$	2.0	$	2.8
Selling, general and administrative expenses		9.7		12.7
System development and programming costs		2.2		2.0
Total pretax stock-based compensation expense	$	13.9	$	17.5

As of September 30, 2010, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards was $13.6 million and $34.7 million, respectively, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of 1.3 years and 1.5 years, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the following activity occurred under our existing plans:

Stock Options:
	Number of Options (in thousands)			Weighted Average Price (in dollars)
Options outstanding at
July 1, 2010		35,000		$	41
Options granted		696		$	26
Options exercised		(351	)	$	36
Options canceled		(405	)	$	48
Options outstanding at
September 30, 2010		34,940		$	41

Performance-Based Restricted Stock:
	Number of Shares (in thousands)
Restricted shares outstanding
at July 1, 2010	1,112
Restricted shares granted	-
Restricted shares vested	(11)
Restricted shares forfeited	(12)
Restricted shares outstanding
at September 30, 2010	1,089

The fair value of each stock option issued prior to January 1, 2005 was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.  For stock options issued on or after January 1, 2005, the fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option pricing model.  The binomial model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, risk-free interest rate and employee exercise behavior.  Expected volatilities utilized in the binomial model are based on a combination of implied market volatilities, historical volatility of the Company's stock price and other factors.  Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes.  The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The binomial model also incorporates exercise and forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data.  The expected life of the stock option grants is derived from the output of the binomial model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

The fair value for stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2010			2009
Risk-free interest rate		1.6	%		2.6	%
Dividend yield		3.3	%		3.4	%
Weighted average volatility factor		24.9	%		30.4	%
Weighted average expected life (in years)		5.1			5.0
Weighted average fair value (in dollars)	$	6.37		$	7.66

B.  Pension Plans

The components of net pension expense were as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,
	2010			2009
Service cost – benefits earned during the period	$	13.1		$	11.9
Interest cost on projected benefits		14.0			14.8
Expected return on plan assets		(22.1	)		(19.1	)
Net amortization and deferral		5.1			1.1
Net pension expense	$	10.1		$	8.7

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company contributed $152.1 million to the pension plans and expects to contribute approximately $6.1 million during the remainder of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”).

Note 14.  Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 36.2% and 36.5%, respectively.

Note 15.  Commitments and Contingencies

In September 2010, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles.   The complaint alleges that the Company unlawfully handled certain client calls and seeks statutory damages.

The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously and to seek an early dismissal of the claims.   Moreover, the services at issue were performed by an independent third party vendor, and the Company believes that it has the contractual right to full indemnification from this vendor for any potential losses it might incur with respect to the matter.  While it is too early to determine the potential for exposure to the claims asserted by the class action, the Company does not believe the claims, if adversely determined, would ultimately have a material adverse effect on the Company in light of the indemnification from the independent third party vendor.

The Company is subject to various other claims and litigation in the normal course of business.  The Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In the normal course of business, the Company also enters into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company's services and products.  The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.

The Company has obligations under various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements that were disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Note 16.  Foreign Currency Risk Management Programs

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.  The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments.  The Company uses derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes.

The Company had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at September 30, 2010 or June 30, 2010.

Note 17. Comprehensive Income

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2010			2009
Net earnings	$	278.5		$	284.1
Other comprehensive income:
Currency translation adjustments		79.7			42.5
Unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities, net of tax		93.7			140.6
Pension liability adjustment, net of tax		(0.4	)		0.8
Comprehensive income	$	451.5		$	468.0

Note 18. Interim Financial Data by Segment

The Company's strategic business units are aggregated into the following three reportable segments:  Employer Services, PEO Services and Dealer Services.  The primary components of "Other" are financing transactions related to the sale of computer systems, corporate allocations and certain expenses that have not been charged to the reportable segments, including stock-based compensation expense.  Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the reportable segments at a standard rate for management reasons.  Other costs are recorded based on management responsibility.  The prior year reportable segments' revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes have been adjusted to reflect updated budgeted foreign exchange rates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. 
60;In addition, there is a reconciling item for the difference between actual interest income earned on invested funds held for clients and interest credited to Employer Services and PEO Services at a standard rate of 4.5%.  The reportable segments' results also include an internal cost of capital charge related to the funding of acquisitions and other investments.  All of these adjustments/charges are reconciling items to the Company's reportable segments' revenues and/or earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and results in the elimination of these adjustments/charges in consolidation.

Segment Results:

Note 19. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, the Company acquired three businesses for approximately $125 million.  The Company is currently evaluating the opening balance sheets for these businesses.  These acquisitions are not expected to be material to the Company’s operations, financial position or cash flows.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other written or oral statements made from time to time by ADP may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Statements that are not historical in nature and which may be identified by the use of words like "expects," "assumes," "projects," "anticipates," "estimates," "we believe," "could be" and other words of similar meaning, are forward-looking statements.  These statements are based on management's expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include: ADP's success in obtaining, retaining and selling additional se rvices to clients; the pricing of products and services; changes in laws regulating payroll taxes, professional employer organizations and employee benefits; overall market and economic conditions, including interest rate and foreign currency trends; competitive conditions; auto sales and related industry changes; employment and wage levels; changes in technology; availability of skilled technical associates and the impact of new acquisitions and divestitures.  ADP disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  These risks and uncertainties, along with the risk factors discussed under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements.  The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances.  Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.  Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our re sults of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Revenue Recognition. On July 1, 2010, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, "Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements," and ASU 2009-14,"Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements." ASU 2009-13 modifies the guidance related to accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables by providing an alternative when vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) does not exist to determine the selling price of a deliverable.  The alternative when VSOE or TPE does not exist is management's best estimate of the selling price of the deliverable. Consideration for multiple deliverables is then allocated based upon the re lative selling price of the deliverables and revenue is recognized as earned for each deliverable. ASU 2009-14 modifies the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s functionality. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Total Revenues

Total revenues grew 6%, to $2,229.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $2,096.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to increases in revenues in Employer Services of 6%, or $82.6 million, to $1,559.2 million, PEO Services of 15%, or $45.1 million, to $341.3 million, and Dealer Services of 12%, or $34.9 million, to $336.4 million.  Such increases were partially offset by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which reduced our revenue by $15.5 million, or 1%.  Total Revenues would have increased approximately 4% without the impact of recently completed acquisitions.

Total Expenses

Total expenses increased 9%, to $1,830.2 million for the three month ended September 30, 2010, from $1,684.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in our consolidated expenses was due to an increase in operating expenses of $113.2 million and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $24.1 million.

Our total costs of revenues increased 10%, to $1,311.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $1,189.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to an increase in our operating expenses of $113.2 million.

Operating expenses increased $113.2 million, or 11%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to the increase in revenues described above, including the increases in PEO Services, which have pass-through costs that are re-billable including costs for benefits coverage, workers’ compensation coverage and state unemployment taxes for worksite employees.  These pass-through costs were $260.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, which included costs for benefits coverage of $222.8 million and costs for workers compensation and payment of state unemployment taxes of $37.6 million.  These costs were $223.0 million in for the three months ended September 30, 2009, which included costs for benefits coverage of $192.3 million and costs for w orkers compensation and payment of state unemployment taxes of $30.7 million.  The increase in operating expenses is also due to operating expenses related to businesses acquired of $26.2 million and higher expenses in Employer Services of $13.6 million related to increased service costs for investment in client-facing associates.  Additionally, operating expenses increased due to the settlement of a PEO Services state unemployment matter that reduced operating expenses by $9.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Such increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $8.3 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Systems development and programming expenses increased $9.2 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to systems development and programming expenses of businesses acquired of $5.6 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $24.1 million, or 5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, which was attributable to higher selling expenses of $23.6 million due to increases in headcount over prior year levels and due to selling, general and administrative expenses of acquired businesses of $14.5 million.  Such increases were partially offset by an asset impairment charge of $6.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 related to the announcement by GM that it will shut down its Saturn division.  Lastly, there was a decrease of $8.4 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The prior year's reportable segment revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes have been adjusted to reflect updated budgeted foreign exchange rates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.  This adjustment is made for management purposes so that the reportable segments' results are presented on a consistent basis without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates.  This adjustment is a reconciling item to revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and results in the elimination of this adjustment in consolidation.

In addition, the reconciling items include an adjustment for the difference between actual interest income earned on invested funds held for clients and interest credited to Employer Services and PEO Services at a standard rate 4.5%.  This allocation is made for management reasons so that the reportable segments' results are presented on a consistent basis without the impact of fluctuations in interest rates.  This allocation is a reconciling item to our reportable segments' revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and results in the elimination of this allocation in consolidation.

The reportable segments' results also include a cost of capital charge related to the funding of acquisitions and other investments.  This charge is a reconciling item to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and results in the elimination of this charge in consolidation.

Employer Services

Revenues

Employer Services' revenues increased $82.6 million, or 6%, to $1,559.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Revenues for our Employer Services business would have increased approximately 5% without the impact of recently completed acquisitions.

Revenues from our payroll and tax filing businesses increased 2% due to higher average client fund balances, improved worldwide client retention, an increase in pays per control and the impact of pricing increases.  We credit Employer Services with interest on client funds at a standard rate of 4.5%; therefore, Employer Services' results are not influenced by changes in interest rates.  Interest on client funds recorded within the Employer Services segment increased $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to the increase in average client fund balances, which increased from $12.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $13.6 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Our worldwide client retention rate increased by 1.7 percentage points for the three month s ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Pays per control, which represents the number of employees on our clients' payrolls as measured on a same-store-sales basis utilizing a subset of over 129,000 payrolls of small to large businesses that are reflective of a broad range of U.S. geographic regions, increased 1.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Lastly, pricing increases contributed approximately 1% to our revenue growth for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Revenues from our "beyond payroll" services increased 9% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to an increase in the number of clients utilizing our COBRA, HR Benefits and Retirement Services solutions.

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $8.5 million, or 2%, to $376.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase was due to the increase in revenues of $82.6 million discussed above, which was partially offset by an increase in expenses of $74.1 million.  In addition to an increase in expenses related to increased revenues, expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to increases in sales and service headcount over prior year levels.

PEO Services

Revenues

PEO Services' revenues increased $45.1 million, or 15%, to $341.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to a 9% increase in the average number of worksite employees.  The increase in the average number of worksite employees as compared to the prior year was due to an increase in the number of clients.  Revenues associated with benefits coverage, workers' compensation coverage and state unemployment taxes for worksite employees that were billed to our clients increased $37.4 million due to the increase in the average number of worksite employees, as well as increases in health care costs.  Administrative revenues, which represent the fees for our services and are billed based upon a percentage of wages related to worksite employees, incr eased $5.0 million, or 9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to the increase in the number of average worksite employees.

We credit PEO Services with interest on client funds at a standard rate of 4.5%; therefore, PEO Services' results are not influenced by changes in interest rates.  Interest on client funds recorded within the PEO Services segment increased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to the increase in average client funds balances as a result of increased PEO Services new business and growth in our existing client base.  Average client funds balances were $0.2 billion for each of the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased $7.2 million, or 20%, to $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased due to the settlement of a state unemployment tax matter, which increased earnings before income taxes by $9.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Such decrease was partially offset by growth in earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $2.0 million due to an increase in the number of average worksite employees.

Dealer Services

Revenues

Dealer Services' revenues increased $34.9 million, or 12%, to $336.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Revenues for our Dealer Services business would have increased approximately 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 without the impact of recently completed acquisitions, which increased revenues by $32.2 million.  Revenues increased by $28.5 million due to new clients and growth in our key products during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The growth in our key products was driven by increased users for Application Service Provider ("ASP") managed services and growth in hosted IP telephony.  The increase in our revenues was partially offset by $ 25.9 million due to client losses as a result of dealership closings, cancellation of services and continued pressure on dealerships to reduce costs.

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Dealer Services' earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $6.1 million, or 14%, to $50.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased due to an asset impairment charge of $6.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of the announcement by GM that it will shut down its Saturn division.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2010, cash and marketable securities were $1,316.2 million, stockholders' equity was $5,756.7 million and the ratio of long-term debt-to-equity was 0.6%.  Working capital before funds held for clients and client funds obligations was $1,173.0 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $1,568.6 million at June 30, 2010.  This decrease is due to the use of cash to pay dividends of $168.0 million, contributions to our pension plans of $152.1 million, and repurchases of common stock of $49.8 million, partially offset by cash generated from operations of $222.3 million.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $222.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $243.7 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities was due to an increase in pension plan contributions of $46.7 million and an increase in bonus payments of $37.2 million, partially offset by $86.3 million in tax refunds received during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and by timing differences related to collections of accounts receivable of $36.9 million.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $4,155.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to net cash flows provided by investing activities of $367.7 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The net increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents held to satisfy client funds obligations resulted in a net decrease to cash flows of $3,284.9 million and the timing of purchases of and proceeds from the sales or maturities of marketable securities resulted in a net decrease to cash flows of $768.7 million.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $3,438.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of $1,306.4 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase was due to the net change in client funds obligations of $4,080.3 million as a result of timing of cash received and payments made related to client funds and a $730.0 million decrease in repayments of previously issued commercial paper, partially offset by a $36.1 million increase in cash used for repurchases of common stock.  We purchased approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $40.15 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to purchases of 0.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share $37.71 during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Our U.S. short-term funding requirements related to client funds are sometimes obtained through a short-term commercial paper program, which provides for the issuance of up to $6.25 billion in aggregate maturity value of commercial paper.  Our commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor's and Prime-1 by Moody's. These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities.  Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days.  At September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, there was no commercial paper outstanding.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we had average borrowings of $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.2% for both periods. The weighted average maturity of our commercial paper du ring each of the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was less than two days.  Throughout the three month period ended September 30, 2010, we had full access to our U.S. short term funding requirements related to client funds obligations.

Our U.S. and Canadian short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities.  These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days.  We have $2 billion available to us on a committed basis under these reverse repurchase agreements. At September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively, we had no outstanding obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $608.9 million and $512.6 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.4% and 0.2%, r espectively.

The Company has a $2.5 billion, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders that mature in June 2011. In addition, the Company has a three-year $1.5 billion credit facility maturing in June 2013 that contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments.  The Company also has an existing $2.25 billion five-year credit facility that matures in June 2011 that also contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments.  The interest rate applicable to the committed borrowings is tied to LIBOR, the federal funds effective rate or the prime rate depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing.  The Company is also required to pay facility fees on the credit agreements.  The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and to provide funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary.  The Company had no borrowings through September 30, 2010 under the credit agreements. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreements to borrow there under and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $6.25 billion available to us under the revolving credit agreements.

Our investment portfolio does not contain any asset-backed securities with underlying collateral of sub-prime mortgages, alternative-A mortgages, sub-prime auto loans or home equity loans, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, credit default swaps, asset-backed commercial paper, derivatives, auction rate securities, structured investment vehicles or non-investment-grade fixed-income securities.  We own AAA rated senior tranches of fixed rate credit card, rate reduction, auto loan and other asset-backed securities, secured predominately by prime collateral.  All collateral on asset-backed securities is performing as expected. In addition, we own senior debt directly issued by Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporati on ("Freddie Mac").  We do not own subordinated debt, preferred stock or common stock of any of these agencies.  We do own AAA rated mortgage-backed securities, which represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a group or pool of one or more residential mortgages.  These securities are collateralized by the cash flows of 15-year and 30-year residential mortgages and are guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as to the timely payment of principal and interest.  Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  This investment strategy is supported by our short-term financing arrangements necessary to satisfy short-term funding requirement relating to client funds obligations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, capital expenditures for continuing operations were $39.6 million.  Capital expenditures for continuing operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 are expected to be between $160.0 million and $180.0 million compared to $90.2 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts in which we make representations and warranties that relate to the performance of our products and services.  We do not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our overall investment portfolio is comprised of corporate investments (cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, and long-term marketable securities) and client funds assets (funds that have been collected from clients but not yet remitted to the applicable tax authorities or client employees).

Our corporate investments are invested in cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities.  These assets are available for repurchases of common stock for treasury and/or acquisitions, as well as other corporate operating purposes.  All of our short-term and long-term fixed-income securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

Our client funds assets are invested with safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary goals.  Consistent with those goals, we also seek to maximize interest income and to minimize the volatility of interest income.  Client funds assets are invested in highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities with a maximum maturity of 10 years at time of purchase and money market securities and other cash equivalents.  At September 30, 2010, approximately 79.5% of the available-for-sale securities categorized as U.S. Treasury and direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were invested in senior, unsecured, non-callable debt directly issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

We utilize a strategy by which we extend the maturities of our investment portfolio for funds held for clients and employ short-term financing arrangements to satisfy our short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations.  Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio).  As part of our client funds investment strategy, we use the daily collection of funds from our clients to satisfy other unrelated client fund obligations, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities.  We minimize the risk o f not having funds collected from a client available at the time such client's obligation becomes due by impounding, in virtually all instances, the client's funds in advance of the timing of payment of such client's obligation.  As a result of this practice, we have consistently maintained the required level of client fund assets to satisfy all of our client funds obligations.

There are inherent risk and uncertainties involving our investment strategy relating to our client fund assets.  Such risks include liquidity risk, including the risk associated with our ability to liquidate, if necessary, our available-for-sale securities in a timely manner in order to satisfy our client funds obligations.  However, our investments are made with the safety of principal, liquidity and diversification as the primary goals to minimize the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy all of our client funds obligations.  We also believe we have significantly reduced the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy our client funds obligations by consistently maintaining access to other sources of liquidity, including our corporate cash balances, available borrowings under our $6.25 billion c ommercial paper program (rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor's and Prime-1 by Moody's, the highest possible credit rating), our ability to execute reverse repurchase transactions and available borrowings under our $6.25 billion committed revolving credit facilities.  However, the availability of financing during periods of economic turmoil, even to borrowers with the highest credit ratings, may limit our flexibility to access short-term debt markets to meet the liquidity needs of our business.  In addition to liquidity risk, our investments are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk, as discussed below.

We have established credit quality, maturity, and exposure limits for our investments.  The minimum allowed credit rating at time of purchase for corporate bonds is BBB and for asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities is AAA.  The maximum maturity at time of purchase for BBB rated securities is 5 years, for single A rated securities is 7 years, and for AA rated and AAA rated securities is 10 years.  Commercial paper must be rated A1/P1 and, for time deposits, banks must have a Financial Strength Rating of C or better.

Our laddering strategy exposes us to interest rate risk in relation to securities that mature, as the proceeds from maturing securities are reinvested.  Factors that influence the earnings impact of the interest rate changes include, among others, the amount of invested funds and the overall portfolio mix between short-term and long-term investments.  This mix varies during the fiscal year and is impacted by daily interest rate changes.  The annualized interest rates earned on our entire portfolio decreased by 30 basis points, from 3.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 3.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  A hypothetical change in both short-term interest rates (e.g., overnight interest rates or the federal funds rate) and intermediate-term interest rates of 25 basis p oints applied to the estimated average investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $9 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending September 30, 2011.  A hypothetical change in only short-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated average short-term investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $4 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending September 30, 2011.

We are exposed to credit risk in connection with our available-for-sale securities through the possible inability of the borrowers to meet the terms of the securities.  We limit credit risk by investing in investment-grade securities, primarily AAA and AA rated securities, as rated by Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and for Canadian securities, Dominion Bond Rating Service.  At September 30, 2010, approximately 86% of our available-for-sale securities held an AAA or AA rating.  In addition, we limit amounts that can be invested in any security other than US and Canadian government or government agency securities.

We had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at September 30, 2010 or June 30, 2010.

In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU 2010-20 requires greater transparency about a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The guidance is intended to provide disclosures to help facilitate the evaluation of the company’s credit risk, how that risk is analyzed and the reasons for changes in the allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2010-20 will have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The information called for by this item is provided under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" under Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "evaluation").  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required dis closure.  Based on the evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010 in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Except as noted below, all other items are either inapplicable or would result in negative responses and, therefore, have been omitted.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation.  While the outcome of any litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it and the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
