Risks and uncertainties affecting the acquisition and Intuit's and OMware's software products include the following: The acquisition could have a negative impact on Intuit's operating income and earnings per share because the integration of acquired companies poses ongoing operational challenges and risks. OMware products and services are subject to competition from other software, the World Wide Web or other traditional means. The anticipated benefits of OMware's products and services to Intuit will depend on a number of variables, including the ability to acquire customers in the construction industry, and the adoption rates for the product in that industry. Intuit cannot predict these adoption or participation rates. Integration of acquired businesses is also subject to risks and uncertainties associated with retaining and compensating the personnel of acquired companies. Integrating OMware and Intuit creates challenges for Intuit's operational, financial and management information systems, which may reduce the intended benefits of the acquisition. Additional information about factors that could affect future results and events is included in Intuit's fiscal 2001 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
