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 (“U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and accumulated other comprehensive income 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, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”).

Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2012, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” ASU 2011-03 revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control: the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial asset on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and the related requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In January 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 requires expansion of the disclosures required for Level 3 measurements of fair value and provides updates to the existing measurement guidance. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. ASU 2011-08 amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-20 on testing goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value based upon the qualitative assessment, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $2,883.8 million and $2,315.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third party expense management platform and, as a result, recorded a gain of $66.0 million in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

At December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that it had the intent to sell certain available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses of $5.8 million. As such, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.8 million in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, all such securities had been sold.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, 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 an impairment loss of $8.6 million in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company accepted a non-binding offer for these two buildings and, as a result, further adjusted the carrying value of such assets and recorded an impairment loss of $2.2 million in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. These buildings remain in assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2012.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company sold two buildings that were previously classified as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and, as a result, recorded a gain of $1.8 million in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

The Company has an outsourcing agreement with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") pursuant to which the Company provides data center outsourcing services, which principally consist of information technology services and service delivery network services. As a result of this agreement, the Company recognized income of $28.0 million and $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which was offset by expenses associated with providing such services of $27.4 million and $27.1 million, respectively, both of which were recorded in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The Company recognized income of $85.9 million and $82.3

million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which was offset by expenses associated with providing such services of $84.2 million and $80.6 million. The Company had receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets from Broadridge for the services under this agreement of $9.1 million and $9.5 million at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, 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 expiration of the outsourcing agreement will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Note 5. Acquisitions

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been included in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. Accordingly, the measurement period for such purchase price allocations will end when the information, or the facts and circumstances, becomes available, but will not exceed twelve months.

The Company acquired six businesses during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 for approximately $235.4 million, net of cash acquired. In addition to the cash consideration related to acquisitions closed during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company accrued certain liabilities which represent the estimated fair value of contingent consideration (“earn-out”) expected to be payable in the event that certain specific performance metrics are achieved over the earn-out period. At March 31, 2012, the Company had not yet finalized the purchase price allocation for these six acquisitions. These acquisitions resulted in approximately $153.0 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which total approximately $72.3 million for these six acquisitions, included customer contracts and lists, software and trademarks that are being amortized over a weighted average life of approximately 11 years. These six acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

The Company acquired eight businesses during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 for approximately $774.2 million, net of cash acquired. These acquisitions resulted in approximately $543.6 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled approximately $245.7 million for these eight acquisitions, included customer contracts and lists, software and trademarks that are being amortized over a weighted average life of approximately 12 years. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation for these eight acquisitions during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and adjusted the preliminary values allocated to certain assets and liabilities in order to reflect final information received.

At December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that it had the intent to sell certain available-for-sale securities for which unrealized losses of $5.8 million were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As such, the Company recognized impairment losses of $5.8 million in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the

Company sold its remaining holdings in these securities. For the remaining securities in an unrealized loss position of $13.1 million at March 31, 2012, the Company concluded that it did not have the intent to sell such securities and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell such securities before recovery. The securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2012 were primarily comprised of corporate bonds. In order to determine whether such losses were due to credit losses, the Company evaluated such securities 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 March 31, 2012, the Company concluded that unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities held at March 31, 2012 were not credit losses and were attributable to changes in interest rates. As a result, the Company concluded that the $13.1 million in unrealized losses on such securities should be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2012.

Note 7. 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 principal or most advantageous market for a specific asset or liability.

U.S. 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 that 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 from 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 March 31, 2012. Included in the table are available-for-sale securities within corporate investments of $124.8 million and funds held for clients of $17,594.1 million.

Note 8. Receivables

Accounts receivable, net, includes the Company’s trade receivables, which are recorded based upon the amount the Company expects to receive from its clients, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s receivables also include notes receivable for the financing of the sale of computer systems, primarily from auto, truck, motorcycle, marine, recreational vehicle and heavy equipment dealers. Notes receivable are recorded based upon the amount the Company expects to receive from its clients, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and unearned income. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the

Company's best estimate of probable credit losses related to trade receivables and notes receivable based upon the aging of the receivables, historical collection data, internal assessments of credit quality and the economic conditions in the automobile industry, as well as in the economy as a whole. The Company charges off uncollectable amounts against the reserve in the period in which it determines they are uncollectable. Unearned income on notes receivable is amortized using the effective interest method.

The Company’s receivables, whose carrying value approximates fair value, are as follows:

	March 31, 2012						June 30, 2011
	Current			Long-term			Current			Long-term

Trade receivables	$	1,341.4		$	-		$	1,333.2		$	-
Notes receivable		88.6			143.4			90.5			146.4
Less:
Allowance for doubtful accounts - trade receivables		(44.2	)		-			(44.8	)		-
Allowance for doubtful accounts - notes receivable		(5.9	)		(9.5	)		(5.7	)		(9.4	)
Unearned income - notes receivable		(7.2	)		(6.8	)		(8.4	)		(8.3	)

Total	$	1,372.7		$	127.1		$	1,364.8		$	128.7

The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts related to notes receivable based upon a specific reserve for known collection issues, as well as a non-specific reserve based upon aging, both of which are based upon history of such losses and current economic conditions. Based upon the Company’s methodology, the notes receivable balances with specific and non-specific reserves and the specific and non-specific reserves associated with those balances are as follows:

	March 31, 2012
	Notes Receivable				Reserve
	Current		Long-term		Current		Long-term
Specific Reserve	$	0.4	$	0.6	$	0.4	$	0.6
Non-specific Reserve		88.2		142.8		5.5		8.9
Total	$	88.6	$	143.4	$	5.9	$	9.5

	June 30, 2011
	Notes Receivable				Reserve
	Current		Long-term		Current		Long-term
Specific Reserve	$	0.6	$	0.9	$	0.6	$	0.9
Non-specific Reserve		89.9		145.5		5.1		8.5
Total	$	90.5	$	146.4	$	5.7	$	9.4

The rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts related to notes receivable is as follows:

	Current			Long-term
Balance at June 30, 2011	$	5.7		$	9.4
Incremental provision		1.2			1.5
Recoveries and other		(0.4	)		(0.6	)
Chargeoffs		(0.6	)		(0.8	)

Balance at March 31, 2012	$	5.9		$	9.5

The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of notes receivable was approximately 7% as of March 31, 2012 and 6% as of June 30, 2011.

Notes receivable aged over 30 days past due are considered delinquent. Notes receivable aged over 60 days past due and notes receivable with known collection issues are placed on non-accrual status. Interest revenue is not recognized on notes receivable while on non-accrual status. Cash payments received on non-accrual receivables are applied towards the principal. When notes receivable on non-accrual status are again less than 60 days past due, recognition of interest revenue for notes receivable is resumed. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $1.3 million in notes receivable on non-accrual status, including $0.6 million of notes receivable aged over 60 days past due. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $1.8 million in notes receivable on non-accrual status, including $0.5 million of notes receivable aged over 60 days past due. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, and March 31, 2011, respectively, the charge-offs as a percentage of notes receivable were 1%.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the credit quality of its financing receivables, utilizing aging of receivables, collection experience and charge-offs. In addition, the Company evaluates economic conditions in the auto industry and specific dealership matters, such as bankruptcy. As events related to a specific client dictate, the credit quality of a client is reevaluated.

The aging of the notes receivable past due at March 31, 2012 is as follows:

		Over 30 days to 60 days				Over 60 days
Notes Receivables		$	1.3			$	0.6

At March 31, 2012, approximately 99% of notes receivable are current.

The aging of the notes receivable past due at June 30, 2011 is as follows:

		Over 30 days to 60 days				Over 60 days
Notes Receivables		$	1.2			$	0.1

At June 30, 2011, approximately 99% of notes receivable are current.

Intangible assets, net	$	723.1		$	715.7

Other intangibles consist primarily of purchased rights, covenants, 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 8 years (4 years for software and software licenses, 10 years for customer contracts and lists, and 8 years for other intangibles). Amortization of intangible assets was $43.9 million and $45.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and totaled $130.3 million and $130.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 10. Short-term Financing

The Company has a $2.0 billion, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders that matures in June 2012. In addition, the Company has a four-year $3.25 billion credit facility maturing in June 2015 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 $1.5 billion three-year credit facility that matures in June 2013 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 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 funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary. The Company had no borrowings through March 31, 2012 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 $6.75 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 March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company had no commercial paper outstanding. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s average borrowings were $0.5 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s average borrowings were $2.3 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. The weighted average maturity of the Company’s commercial paper during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 approximated one and two days, respectively.

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 $2.0 billion available to it on a committed basis under these reverse repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $139.9 million and $160.3 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 1.0% and 0.8%, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $303.3 million and $439.0 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.6% and 0.5%, respectively.

Note 12. 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. 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.

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.

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 the 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 shares awarded under the program. The performance target is based on earnings per share 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 of the award on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of approximately 18 months, based upon the probability that 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. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase programs. The Company repurchased 2.0 million shares in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 1.4 million shares repurchased in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the Company repurchased 8.2 million shares in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 3.8 million shares repurchased in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions.

Stock-based compensation expense of $20.4 million and $21.8 million was recognized in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as related tax benefits of $7.5 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense of $66.1 million and $58.5 million was recognized in earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as related tax benefits of $24.4 million and $21.8 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2012, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards amounted to $10.6 million and $51.2 million, respectively, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of 1.9 years and 1.4 years, respectively.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the following activity occurred under the Company’s existing plans:

The fair value of each stock option issued is 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 grant 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 using the following assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended
	March 31,
	2012		2011
Risk-free interest rate		0.8% - 1.0%		1.4% - 2.4%
Dividend yield		2.8% - 3.1%		2.9% - 3.3%
Weighted average volatility factor		24.9% - 25.7%		24.5% - 24.9%
Weighted average expected life (in years)		5.2 - 5.3		5.1 - 5.2
Weighted average fair value (in dollars)	$	8.46	$	7.59

B. Pension Plans

The components of net pension expense were as follows:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	March 31,						March 31,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Service cost – benefits earned during the period	$	14.3		$	13.1		$	42.9		$	39.3
Interest cost on projected benefits		15.5			14.1			46.5			42.3
Expected return on plan assets		(24.4	)		(22.1	)		(73.2	)		(66.3	)
Net amortization and deferral		3.7			5.0			11.3			15.0
Net pension expense	$	9.1		$	10.1		$	27.5		$	30.3

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company contributed $81.3 million to the pension plans and expects to contribute approximately $2.7 million during the remainder of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Note 13. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 34.0% and 35.1%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was related to the availability of foreign tax credits, the expiration of certain statutes of limitation, and the final resolution of certain tax matters.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 34.5% and 35.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was related to the availability of foreign tax credits, the expiration of certain statutes of limitation, and the final resolution of certain tax matters.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

On July 18, 2011, athenahealth, Inc. filed a complaint against ADP AdvancedMD, Inc. (“ADP AdvancedMD”), a subsidiary of the Company. The complaint alleges that ADP AdvancedMD’s activities in providing medical practice management and billing and revenue management software and associated services to physicians and medical practice managers infringe two patents owned by athenahealth, Inc. The complaint seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, and costs. The Company has responded to the complaint, believes that it has meritorious defenses to this claim, and is continuing to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.

In June 2011, the Company received a Commissioner’s Charge from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) alleging that the Company has violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by refusing to recruit, hire, transfer and promote certain persons on the basis of their race, in the State of Illinois from at least the period of January 1, 2007 to the present. The Company continues to investigate the allegations set forth in the Commissioner’s Charge and is cooperating with the EEOC’s investigation.

The Company is subject to various claims and litigation in the normal course of business. When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records a liability in the amount of its best estimate for the ultimate loss. At this time the Company is unable to estimate any possible loss, or range of possible loss, with respect to the matters described above. This is primarily because these matters are still in early stages and involve complex issues subject to inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved in a manner that is not adverse to the Company.

It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter 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, 2011.

Note 15. Foreign Currency Risk Management Programs

The Company transacts business in various foreign jurisdictions and is therefore exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact its 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 does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at March 31, 2012 or June 30, 2011.

Note 17. Interim Financial Data by Segment

Based upon similar economic characteristics and operational characteristics, the Company’s strategic business units have been aggregated into the following three reportable segments: Employer Services, PEO Services, and Dealer Services. The primary components of the “Other” segment are miscellaneous processing services, such as customer financing transactions, non-recurring gains and losses, results of operations of ADP Indemnity (a wholly-owned captive insurance company that provides workers’ compensation and employer’s liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees) and certain expenses that have not been charged to the reportable segments, such as 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 before income taxes have been adjusted to reflect updated fiscal 2012 budgeted foreign exchange rates. 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 before income taxes and result in the elimination of these adjustments/charges in consolidation.

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 (”U.S. GAAP”). 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 results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

Our solid results for the period reflect the strength and resilience of our underlying business model despite the challenges posed by the current economic environment. Our focus on product innovation and our investment in sales associate headcount has led to growth in new business sales and solid revenue retention across our business segments. We are pleased with the current performance of our strategic acquisitions together with the continued strength in our same-store-sales growth. However, we continue to be impacted by the decline in high-margin client interest revenues as a result of lower interest rates, partially offset by an increase in our average client funds balance.

Our business model remains strong with a high percentage of recurring revenues, excellent margins, the ability to generate consistent, healthy cash flows, strong client revenue retention, and low capital expenditure requirements. We invest our clients' funds in accordance with ADP's prudent and conservative investment guidelines where the safety, liquidity, and diversification of our clients’ funds are the foremost objectives of our investment strategy. The portfolio is predominantly invested in AAA/AA rated fixed-income securities. We continue to return excess cash to our shareholders through our share repurchase program and dividends.

Our financial condition and balance sheet remain solid at March 31, 2012, with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.8 billion. We continue to look for opportunities to further enhance and complement our product portfolio and service offerings and, accordingly, have acquired six businesses as of March 31, 2012 for approximately $235.4 million, net of cash acquired. We expect that these acquisitions will not have a material impact on our earnings for the year ending June 30, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”), individually or in the aggregate.

Other income, net, decreased $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was due to a decrease in interest income on corporate funds of $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in interest income on corporate funds resulted from lower average interest rates from 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to 1.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, partially offset by increasing average daily corporate funds which increased from $2.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $2.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded an impairment loss of $2.2 million related to our assets held for sale.

Other income, net, increased $56.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was due to a gain of $66.0 million pertaining to the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was partially offset by the net activity related to our available-for-sale securities, including realized gains, realized losses and impairment losses, which together resulted in a decrease in other income, net of $9.7 million, and a decrease in interest income on corporate funds of $3.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in interest income on corporate funds resulted from lower average interest rates from 2.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 to 2.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, partially offset by increasing average daily corporate funds which increased from $3.5 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 to $4.0 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. In addition, we recorded an impairment loss of $2.2 million related to our assets held for sale during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a gain on the sale of buildings of $1.8 million and an impairment loss of $8.6 million related to our assets held for sale for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Earnings before Income Taxes

Earnings before income taxes increased $32.6 million, or 5%, from $653.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, to $685.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by the increase in total expenses, all of which were discussed above. Overall margin decreased approximately 40 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2012 with approximately 40 basis points of margin decrease attributable to acquisitions.

Earnings before income taxes increased $150.6 million, or 10%, from $1,574.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, to $1,724.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 due to the

increase in revenues and the gain on sale of assets, partially offset by the increase in expenses, all of which were discussed above. Overall margin was 21.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 21.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, with approximately 80 basis points of margin contribution related to the gain on the sale of assets and approximately 30 basis points of margin decrease attributable to acquisitions.

Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share

Net earnings increased $28.6 million, or 7%, to $452.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $423.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Diluted earnings per share increased 8% to $0.92 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $0.85 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Net earnings increased $117.7 million, or 12%, to $1,130.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1,012.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and includes an after-tax gain on sale of assets of $41.2 million. Diluted earnings per share increased 13% to $2.29 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $2.03 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

For both the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2012, the increase in diluted earnings per share reflects the increase in net earnings and the impact of fewer shares outstanding as a result of the repurchase of approximately 8.2 million shares during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and the repurchase of 14.2 million shares in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

The following table reconciles our results for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to adjusted results that exclude the sale of assets related to rights and obligations to resell a third-party expense management platform. We use certain adjusted results, among other measures, to evaluate our operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by us and improves our ability to understand our operating performance. Since adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, earnings and diluted EPS and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Although we have presented our results for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 adjusted to exclude the gain on the sale of assets discussed above, we do not expect this sale of assets to have a material impact on the results of our future operations.

The prior year's reportable segment revenues and earnings before income taxes have been adjusted to reflect updated fiscal 2012 budgeted foreign exchange rates. This adjustment is made for management purposes so that the reportable segments' revenues are presented on a consistent basis without the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This adjustment is a reconciling item to revenues and earnings before income taxes and is eliminated in consolidation.

Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the reportable segments at a standard rate for management reasons. Other costs are charged to the reportable segments based on management’s responsibility for the applicable costs. The primary components of the “Other” segment are the results of operations of ADP Indemnity (a wholly-owned captive insurance company that provides workers’ compensation and employer’s liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services worksite employees), non-recurring gains and losses, miscellaneous processing services, such as customer financing transactions, and certain expenses that have not been charged to the reportable segments, such as stock-based compensation expense.

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 of 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 before income taxes and is eliminated in consolidation.

Finally, 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 before income taxes and is eliminated in consolidation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2012, cash and marketable securities were $1,789.9 million, stockholders' equity was $6,456.6 million, and the ratio of long-term debt-to-equity was 0.3%. Working capital before funds held for clients and client funds obligations was $1,499.7 million, as compared to $1,252.2 million at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents together with a decrease in accrued payroll and payroll related expenses partially offset by an increase in income taxes payable.

Our principal sources of liquidity for operations are derived from cash generated through operations and through corporate cash and marketable securities on hand. We continued to generate positive cash flows from operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, and we held approximately $1.8 billion of cash and marketable securities at March 31, 2012. We also have the ability to generate cash through our financing arrangements under our U.S. short-term commercial paper program and our U.S. and Canadian short-term reverse repurchase agreements to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $1,411.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $1,220.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in

net cash flows provided by operating activities was due to higher net earnings, lower pension plan contributions of $75.2 million and a favorable change in the net components of working capital, partially offset by a variance in the timing of tax-related net cash payments of $77.2 million.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $5,014.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $14,634.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The net decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to the timing of receipts and disbursements of restricted cash and cash equivalents held to satisfy client funds obligations and a decrease of $574.9 million related to cash used for business acquisitions and an increase of $52.9 million in cash receipts related to the sale of property, plant and equipment and other assets.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $3,903.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $13,335.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was due to the net change in client funds obligations of $9,022.4 million as a result of the timing of cash received and payments made related to client funds and an increase in the cash used for repurchases of common stock. We purchased approximately 8.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $49.59 during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to purchases of 3.8 million shares at an average price per share of $45.71 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase programs. The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions.

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 $6.75 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s average borrowings were $0.5 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s average borrowings were $2.3 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. The weighted average maturity of the Company’s commercial paper during each of the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012 approximated one day and two days, respectively. We have successfully borrowed through the use of our commercial paper program on an as needed basis to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 we had no outstanding obligations under our short-term commercial paper program.

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 $2.0 billion available to us on a committed basis under these reverse repurchase agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $139.9 million and $160.3 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 1.0% and 0.8%, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had average outstanding balances under reverse repurchase agreements of $303.3 million and $439.0 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.6% and 0.5%, respectively. We have successfully borrowed through the use of reverse repurchase agreements on an as needed basis to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 we had no outstanding obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.

We have a $2.0 billion, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders that matures in June 2012. In addition, we have a four-year $3.25 billion credit facility maturing in June 2015 that contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. We also have an existing $1.5 billion three-year credit facility that matures in June 2013 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 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 funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary. We had no borrowings through March 31, 2012 under the credit agreements. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreements to borrow thereunder, and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $6.75 billion available to us under the revolving credit agreements.

Our investment portfolio does not contain any asset-backed securities with underlying collateral of subprime mortgages, alternative-A mortgages, sub-prime auto loans or sub-prime 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. Furthermore, we do not hold direct investments in sovereign debt issued by Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, or Spain. 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 Farm Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"). We do not own subordinated debt, preferred stock or common stock of any of these agencies. We do own 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 requirements relating to client funds obligations.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were $104.2 million. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 are expected to be between $160.0 million and $180.0 million as compared to $184.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts in which we make representations and warranties that relate to the performance of our services and products. 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 the time of purchase and money market securities and other cash equivalents. At March 31, 2012, approximately 91% 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, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

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 funds obligations, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. We minimize the risk of 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 funds assets to satisfy all of our obligations.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties involving our investment strategy relating to our client funds 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 $6.75 billion commercial paper program (rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s and Prime-1 (P1) by Moody’s, the highest possible credit rating), our ability to execute reverse repurchase transactions ($2.0 billion of which is available on a committed basis) and available borrowings under our $6.75 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 ability 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, except for U.S. government agency issued commercial mortgage-backed securities for which the minimum allowed credit rating is AA. 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.

We are exposed 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 40 basis points, from 2.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to 2.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and decreased 50 basis points, from 3.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 to 2.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. 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 points applied to the estimated average investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $11 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending March 31, 2013. 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 $5 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending March 31, 2013.

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 limited 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. Approximately 85% of our available-for-sale securities held a AAA or AA rating at March 31, 2012. In addition, we limit amounts that can be invested in any security other than U.S. and Canadian government or government agency securities.

We operate and transact business in various foreign jurisdictions and are therefore exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our

regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes.

We had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at March 31, 2012 or June 30, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2012, we adopted ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” ASU 2011-03 revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control: the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial asset on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and the related requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In January 2012, we adopted ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 requires expansion of the disclosures required for Level 3 measurements of fair value and provides updates to the existing measurement guidance. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. ASU 2011-08 amends the guidance in ASC 350-20 on testing goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value based upon the qualitative assessment, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 will not 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 disclosure. 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 March 31, 2012 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2012 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.
