Part I
Item 1. Business
Automatic Data Processing, Inc., incorporated in Delaware in 1961 (together with its subsidiaries ADP or the Company), is one of the worlds largest providers of business outsourcing solutions. Leveraging more than 55 years of experience, ADP offers a wide range of HR, payroll, tax and benefits administration solutions from a single source. ADP is also a leading provider of integrated computing solutions to automotive, heavy truck, motorcycle, marine and recreational vehicle dealers throughout the world. For financial information by segment and by geographic area, see Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-K. The Companys Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports, the Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders and its Annual Report to Stockholders are made available, free of charge, on its website at www.adp.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports have been filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following summary describes ADPs activities.
Employer Services
Employer Services offers a comprehensive range of human resource (HR) information, payroll processing, tax and benefits administration products and services, including traditional and Web-based outsourcing solutions, that assist approximately 560,000 employers in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America (primarily Brazil), Australia and Asia to staff, manage, pay and retain their employees. Employer Services markets these products and services through its direct marketing salesforce and, on a limited basis, through indirect sales channels, such as marketing relationships with banks and accountants, among others. In fiscal 2007, 83% of Employer Services revenues were from the United States, 11% were from Europe, 5% were from Canada and 1% were from South America (primarily Brazil), Australia and Asia.
United States
Employer Services approach to the market is to match a clients needs with the products and services that will best meet expectations. To facilitate this approach, in the United States, Employer Services is comprised of the following groups: Small Business Services (SBS) (serving primarily organizations with fewer than 50 employees); Major Account Services (serving primarily organizations with between 50 and 999 employees); and National Account Services (serving primarily organizations with 1,000 or more employees).
SBS processes payroll for smaller clients and provides them with market leading solutions, including a range of value-added services that are specifically designed for small business clients. Major Account Services and National Account Services offer a full suite of best-of-breed employer services solutions for clients ranging from mid-size through many of the worlds largest corporations.
ADP enables its largest clients to interface their major enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications with ADPs outsourced payroll services. For those organizations that choose to process payroll in-house, ADP delivers stand-alone services such as payroll tax filing, check printing and distribution, year-end tax statements (i.e., form W-2) and wage garnishment services.
2
In order to address the growing business process outsourcing (BPO) market for clients seeking human resource information systems and benefit outsourcing solutions, ADP offers its integrated comprehensive outsourcing services (COS) solution that allows a client to outsource its HR, payroll, payroll administration, employee service center, benefits administration, and time and labor management functions to ADP. ADP also offers ADP Resource®, an integrated, flexible HR and payroll service offering that provides a menu of optional services, such as 401(k), FSA and pay-as-you go workers compensation.
ADP provides payroll services that include the preparation of client employee paychecks and electronic direct deposits, along with supporting journals, summaries and management reports. ADP also supplies the quarterly and annual social security, medicare and federal, state and local income tax withholding reports required to be filed by employers.
ADPs Tax, Retirement, Insurance and Pre-Employment Services division includes the following businesses: Tax and Financial Services, Retirement Services, Insurance Services and Pre-Employment Services. These businesses primarily support SBS, Major Account Services and/or National Account Services, and their services are sold through those businesses, as well as dedicated salesforces and marketing arrangements with alliance partners.
3
ADPs HR services provide comprehensive HR recordkeeping services, including benefits administration and outsourcing, employee history and position control. ADPs Benefit Services business provides benefits administration across all market segments, including management of the open enrollment of benefits, COBRA and flexible spending account administration. ADPs time and labor management services business provides solutions for employers to capture, calculate and report employee time and attendance.
In fiscal 2007, ADP made several acquisitions to help expand its client base and reach into adjacent markets, including: Employease, Inc., a leading provider of web-based solutions for HR and benefits professionals; VirtualEdge Corporation, an innovator in the field of recruiting and talent lifecycle management solutions for HR organizations; the fully-outsourced payroll business of Intuit Inc.; the tax incentives business of Mintax, Inc.; and Taxware, LP, a leading provider of tax content and compliance solutions for sales, use and value added tax.
International
Employer Services has a growing presence outside of the United States, where it offers solutions on the basis of both geographic and specific client business needs. ADP offers in-country best of breed payroll and human resource outsourcing solutions to small and large clients alike in over a dozen countries outside of the United States. In each of Canada and Europe, ADP is the leading provider of payroll processing (including full departmental outsourcing) and human resource administration services. Within Europe, Employer Services has business operations in nine countries: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. It also offers services in Ireland (from the United Kingdom) and in Portugal (from Spain). In South America (primarily Brazil), Australia and Asia, ADP provides traditional service bureau payroll and also offers full departmental outsourcing of payroll services. ADP also offers wage and tax collection and remittance services in Canada, and has developed wage collection and remittance services to be offered in the United Kingdom.
There is a steadily increasing demand from multinational companies for global payroll and human resource management services. In fiscal 2007, ADP continued to expand its GlobalView® offering, making it available in 32 countries. GlobalView is built on the SAP® ERP Human Capital Management and the SAP NetWeaver® platform and offers multinational and global companies an end-to-end outsourcing solution enabling standardized payroll processing and human resource administration. As of the end of fiscal 2007, 65 clients had contracted for GlobalView services, with approximately 250,000 employees being processed. Upon completing the implementation for all these clients, ADP expects to be providing GlobalView services to more than 730,000 employees in 45 different countries. In fiscal 2007, ADP established a wholly foreign owned entity in Shanghai, China, to better understand the developing market in China and serve the needs of multinational companies with operations in China.

Professional Employer Organization Services
In the United States, ADP TotalSource®, ADPs professional employer organization (PEO) business, provides clients with comprehensive employment administration outsourcing solutions through a co-employment relationship, including payroll, payroll tax filing, HR guidance, 401(k) plan administration, benefits administration, compliance services, health and workers compensation coverage and other supplemental benefits for employees. ADP TotalSource is the largest PEO in the United States based on the number of total paid worksite employees. PEO Services has 47 offices located in 18 states and serves approximately 159,000 worksite employees in all 50 states.
Dealer Services
Dealer Services provides integrated dealer management systems (such a system is also known in the industry as a DMS) and business solutions to automotive, heavy truck, and powersports (i.e., motorcycle, marine and recreational) vehicle retailers in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Asia and Europe. Over 25,000 automotive, heavy truck and powersports dealers in over 50 countries use ADPs DMS, other software based solutions, networking solutions, data integration, consulting and/or marketing services.
Clients use ADPs DMS products to manage business activities such as accounting, inventory management, factory communications, scheduling, vehicle financing and insurance, sales and service. In addition to its DMS products, Dealer Services also offers its clients a full suite of web-enabled business solutions to address each department and functional area of the dealership (including customer relationship management solutions (CRM) and front-end applications), and an IP telephony system that can help dealerships with their sales processes and business development initiatives. All of Dealer Services business solutions are supported by comprehensive training offerings and business process consulting services. Dealer Services also offers its dealership clients computer hardware, hardware maintenance services, licensed software support, system design and network consulting services. ADPs DMS and other software products are available as on-site applications or through ADPs application service provider (ASP) managed services solution (in which clients license and outsource the information technology management to Dealer Services).
Dealer Services also designs, establishes and maintains communications networks for its dealership clients that allow interactive communications among multiple site locations as well as links between franchised dealers and their vehicle manufacturer franchisors. These networks are used for activities such as new vehicle ordering and status inquiry, warranty submission and validation, parts and vehicle locating, dealership customer credit application submission and decision-making, vehicle repair estimation and acquisition of vehicle registration and lien holder information.
In fiscal 2006, ADP established a wholly foreign owned entity in Shanghai, China to facilitate Dealer Services expanding business opportunities within China in the automotive market segment.
Spin-off of the Brokerage Services Group and Sale of Travel Clearing Business
On March 30, 2007, ADP completed the tax free spin-off of its former Brokerage Services Group business, comprised of Brokerage Services and Securities Clearing and Outsourcing Services, into an independent publicly traded company called Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. On July 6, 2007, ADP completed the sale of its Travel Clearing business for approximately $116 million in cash. The Travel
5
Clearing business was previously reported in the Other segment. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-K.
Markets and Marketing Methods
Employer Services offers services in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America (primarily Brazil), Australia and Asia. Dealer Services has offerings in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Asia and Europe. PEO Services are offered in the United States.
None of ADPs major business groups have a single homogenous client base or market. For example, Dealer Services primarily serves automotive dealers, but also serves heavy truck, powersports (i.e., motorcycle, marine and recreational), and agricultural equipment dealers, auto repair shops, used car lots, state departments of motor vehicles and manufacturers of automobiles, trucks and agricultural equipment. Employer Services and PEO Services have clients from a large variety of industries and markets. Within this client base are concentrations of clients in specific industries. Employer Services also sells to auto dealers. While concentrations of clients exist, no one client or industry group is material to ADPs overall revenues.
ADPs businesses are not overly sensitive to price changes, although economic conditions among selected clients and groups of clients may and do have a temporary impact on demand for ADPs services. In fiscal 2007, Employer Services continued to grow, primarily due to the increase in its United States payroll and payroll tax businesses, including new business started in the fiscal year, an increase in the number of employees on our clients payrolls, price increases, an increase in client funds balances and improved client retention; Dealer Services grew due to both internal revenue growth and growth from acquisitions, primarily the acquisition of Kerridge Computer Company, Ltd. in December 2005 and BZ Results LLC; and PEO Services grew primarily due to an increase in the number of worksite employees and higher administrative revenues as a result of an increase in the average number of worksite employees.
ADP enjoys a leadership position in each of its major service offerings and does not believe any major service or business unit in ADP is subject to unique market risk.
Competition
The industries in which ADP operates are highly competitive. ADP knows of no reliable statistics by which it can determine the number of its competitors, but it believes that it is one of the largest providers of business outsourcing solutions in the world. Employer Services and PEO Services compete with other independent business outsourcing companies, companies providing enterprise resource planning services, software companies and financial institutions. Captive in-house functions, whereby a company installs and operates its own business processing systems, are another competitive factor in the industries in which Employer Services and PEO Services operate. Dealer Services competitors include full service DMS providers such as The Reynolds & Reynolds Company, Dealer Services largest DMS competitor in the United States and Canada, and companies providing applications and services that compete with Dealer Services non-DMS applications and services.
Competition in ADPs industries is primarily based on service responsiveness, product quality and price. ADP believes that it is very competitive in each of these areas and that there are no material negative factors impacting ADPs competitive position.
6
Clients and Client Contracts
ADP provides its services to approximately 585,000 clients. In fiscal 2007, no single client or group of affiliated clients accounted for revenues in excess of 2% of annual consolidated revenues.
Our business is typically characterized by long-term customer relationships that result in recurring revenue. ADP is continuously in the process of performing implementation services for our clients. Depending on the service agreement and/or the size of the client, the installation or conversion period for new clients could vary from a short period of time (up to two weeks) for an SBS client to a longer period (generally six to twelve months) for a National Account Services or Dealer Services client with multiple deliverables, and in some cases may exceed two years for a large GlobalView client or other large, complicated implementation. Although we monitor sales that have not yet been billed or installed, we do not view this metric as material in light of the recurring nature of our business. This is not a reported number, but it is used by management as a planning tool relating to resources needed to install services, and a means of assessing our performance against the installation timing expectations of our clients.
ADPs average client retention is estimated at more than 10 years in Employer Services, more than 5 years in PEO Services and 10 or more years in Dealer Services, and has not varied significantly from period to period.
ADPs services are provided under written price quotations or service agreements having varying terms and conditions. No one price quotation or service agreement is material to ADP. Discounts, rebates and promotions offered by ADP to clients are not material.
Systems Development and Programming
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, ADP invested $609 million, $551 million, and $491 million, respectively, from continuing operations, in systems development and programming, migration to new computing technologies and the development of new products and maintenance of our existing technologies, including purchases of new software and software licenses.
Product Development
ADP continually upgrades, enhances and expands its existing products and services. Generally, no new product or service has a significant effect on ADPs revenues or negatively impacts its existing products and services, and ADPs products and services have significant remaining life cycles.
Licenses
ADP is the licensee under a number of agreements for computer programs and databases. ADPs business is not dependent upon a single license or group of licenses. Third-party licenses, patents, trademarks and franchises are not material to ADPs business as a whole.
Number of Employees
ADP employed approximately 46,000 persons as of June 30, 2007.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our businesses routinely encounter and address risks, some of which may cause our future results to be different than we currently anticipate. Risk factors described below represent our current view of some of the most important risks facing our businesses and are important to understanding our business. The following information should be read in conjunction with MD&A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-K. This discussion includes a number of forward-looking statements. You should refer to the description of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements in the first paragraph under MD&A included in this Form 10-K. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, reference in this section to we, ours, us or similar terms means ADP, together with its subsidiaries. The level of importance of each of the following risks may vary from time to time.
Changes in laws and regulations may decrease our revenues and earnings
Portions of ADPs business are subject to governmental regulations. Changes in governmental regulations may decrease our revenues and earnings and may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some of the aspects of our business. For example, a change in regulations either decreasing the amount of taxes to be withheld or allowing less time to remit taxes to government authorities would adversely impact interest income from investing funds that we collect from clients but have not yet remitted to the applicable taxing authorities or client employees, thus reducing our revenues and income from this source.
Security and privacy breaches may hurt our business
We store electronically personal information, including social security numbers, about our clients and employees of our clients. In addition, our retirement services systems maintain investor account information for retirement plans. There is no guarantee that the systems and procedures that we maintain to protect against unauthorized access to such information are adequate to protect against all security breaches. Any significant violations of data privacy could result in the loss of business, litigation and regulatory investigations and penalties that could damage our reputation and the growth of our business could be materially adversely affected.
Our systems may be subject to disruptions that could adversely affect our business and reputation
Many of our businesses are highly dependent on our ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of complicated transactions. We rely heavily on our payroll, financial, accounting and other data processing systems. If any of these systems fail to operate properly or become disabled even for a brief period of time, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to clients, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation. We have disaster recovery plans in place to protect our businesses against natural disasters, security breaches, military or terrorist actions, power or communication failures or similar events. Despite our preparations, in the event of a catastrophic occurrence, our disaster recovery plans may not be successful in preventing the loss of customer data, service interruptions, disruptions to our operations, or damage to our important facilities.
8
If we fail to adapt our technology to meet customer needs and preferences, the demand for our services may diminish
Our businesses operate in industries that are subject to rapid technological advances and changing customer needs and preferences. In order to remain competitive and responsive to customer demands, we continually upgrade, enhance and expand our existing products and services. If we fail to respond successfully to the technology challenges, the demand for our services may diminish.
Political and economic factors may adversely affect our business and financial results
Trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and political and economic conditions may substantially change. When there is a slowdown in the economy, employment levels and interest rates may decrease with a corresponding impact on our businesses. Customers may react to worsening conditions by reducing their spending on payroll and other outsourcing services or renegotiating their contracts with us. If any of these circumstances remain in effect for an extended period of time, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Change in our credit ratings could adversely impact our operations and lower our profitability
The major credit rating agencies periodically evaluate our creditworthiness and have consistently given us their highest long-term debt and commercial paper ratings. Failure to maintain high credit ratings on long-term and short-term debt could increase our cost of borrowing, reduce our ability to obtain intra-day borrowing required by our Employer Services business, and ultimately reduce our client interest revenue.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel
Our ability to grow and provide our customers with competitive services is partially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve our customers. Competition for skilled employees in the outsourcing and other markets in which we operate is intense and if we are unable to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated personnel, expected results from our operations may suffer.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None
Item 2. Properties
ADP leases space for some of its processing centers, other operational offices and sales offices. All of these leases, which aggregate approximately 6,083,000 square feet in North America, Europe, South America (primarily Brazil), Asia, Australia and South Africa, expire at various times up to the year 2036. ADP owns 43 of its processing centers, other operational offices, sales offices and its corporate headquarters complex in Roseland, New Jersey, which aggregate approximately 4,090,000 square feet. None of ADPs owned facilities is subject to any material encumbrances. ADP believes its facilities are currently adequate for their intended purposes and are adequately maintained.
9
Item 3. 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.

Note 1. U.S. GAAP requires net earnings of discontinued operations to be displayed separately in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. As a result, we believe the numerator of net earnings that is used in our calculation of return on equity should exclude those net earnings from discontinued operations. Further, we believe it is appropriate to exclude from the denominator of average total stockholders equity, the average cumulative net earnings from discontinued operations for each of the five years since fiscal 2003 for which such returns are presented, as well as the equity impact of the spin-off of the Brokerage Services Group business, which was classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, return on equity, excluding the effects of discontinued operations has been calculated as net earnings from continuing operations divided by average stockholders equity, excluding the effects of discontinued operations as noted below.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BUSINESS SEGMENTS
ADP is one of the worlds largest providers of business outsourcing solutions. Leveraging more than 55 years of experience, ADP offers a wide range of HR, payroll, tax and benefits administration solutions from a single source. ADP is also a leading provider of integrated computing solutions to automotive, heavy truck, motorcycle, marine and recreational vehicle dealers throughout the world. In fiscal 2007, the Company implemented several key changes to its operations, including the spin-off of its former Brokerage Services Group business on March 30, 2007. In addition, there were changes in the Companys executive management team. As a result of these changes, the Company reassessed its reportable segments under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and determined that Professional Employer Organization (PEO) Services should be a reportable segment in addition to Employer Services and Dealer Services. Based upon similar economic characteristics and operational characteristics, the Companys strategic business units are aggregated into the following three reportable segments: Employer Services, PEO Services and Dealer Services. The Company has restated its previously reported segment results for all periods presented to reflect this change in the Companys reportable segments. A brief description of each segments operations is provided below.
Employer Services
Employer Services offers a comprehensive range of human resource (HR) information, payroll processing, tax and benefits administration products and services, including traditional and Web-based outsourcing solutions, that assist approximately 560,000 employers in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America (primarily Brazil), Australia and Asia to staff, manage, pay and retain their employees. Employer Services categorizes its services between traditional payroll and payroll tax, and beyond payroll. The traditional payroll and payroll tax business represents the Companys core payroll processing and payroll tax filing business. The beyond payroll business represents the services that extend beyond the traditional payroll and payroll tax filing services, such as Time and
14
Labor Management and benefit and retirement administration. Within Employer Services, the Company collects client funds and remits such funds to tax authorities for payroll tax filing and payment services, and to employees of payroll services clients.
PEO Services
PEO Services provides over 4,500 small and medium sized businesses with comprehensive employment administration outsourcing solutions through a co-employment relationship, including payroll, payroll tax filing, HR guidance, 401(k) plan administration, benefits administration, compliance services, health and workers compensation coverage and other supplemental benefits for employees.
Dealer Services
Dealer Services provides integrated dealer management systems (such a system is also known in the industry as a DMS) and business solutions to automotive, heavy truck and powersports (i.e., motorcycle, marine and recreational) vehicle retailers in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Asia and Europe. Over 25,000 automotive, heavy truck and powersports dealers in over 50 countries use our DMS, other software-based solutions, networking solutions, data integration, consulting and/or marketing services.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Consolidated revenues from continuing operations in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (fiscal 2007) grew 14%, to $7,800.0 million, as compared to $6,835.6 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 (fiscal 2006). Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and net earnings from continuing operations increased 19% and 21%, respectively. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 26%, to $1.83 in fiscal 2007, from $1.45 per share in fiscal 2006, on fewer shares outstanding.
We are pleased with our strong results in each of our business segments in fiscal 2007. Employer Services revenues increased 11% and PEO Services revenues increased 26% in fiscal 2007. Employer Services and PEO Services new business sales, which represent annualized recurring revenues anticipated from sales orders to new and existing clients, grew 11% worldwide, to approximately $1,055.1 million in fiscal 2007. This represents the third straight year of double-digit sales growth. In fiscal 2007, Employer Services grew average client funds balances 8% as a result of new business and growth in our existing client base. The increase in average client funds balances resulted in an increase in interest revenues within Employer Services, which accounted for approximately 1% growth in Employer Services revenues as compared to fiscal 2006. The number of employees on our clients payrolls, pays per control, increased in all market segments with 2.3% overall growth in the United States, and client retention improved 0.1 percentage point worldwide over last years record level. PEO Services revenues grew 26% in fiscal 2007 primarily due to a 22% increase in the average number of worksite employees. Dealer Services revenues grew 14% in fiscal 2007 due to internal revenue growth and the effect of acquisitions.
Additionally, we were very pleased to have completed the tax-free spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business, as well as the sales of certain non-strategic, slow-growing businesses. The new ADP is a more focused company, which we believe has excellent growth potential for revenue and pretax earnings.
15
On March 30, 2007, we completed the tax-free spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business, comprised of our former Brokerage Services and Securities Clearing and Outsourcing Services segments, into an independent publicly traded company called Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge). As a result of the spin-off, ADP stockholders of record on March 23, 2007 (the record date) received one share of Broadridge common stock for every four shares of ADP common stock held by them on the record date and cash for any fractional shares of Broadridge common stock. We have classified the results of operations of the spun-off business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, we recorded a decrease to retained earnings of $1,125.2 million for the non-cash reduction in net assets of Broadridge related to the spin-off, offset by an increase to retained earnings of $690.0 million related to the cash dividend received from Broadridge as part of the spin-off.
On January 23, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Sandy Corporation, a business within the Dealer Services segment that specializes in sales and marketing training, for approximately $4.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyer, plus an additional earn-out payment if certain revenue targets are achieved. The Company reported a gain of $11.2 million, or $6.9 million after tax within earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The Company has classified the results of operations of this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On June 30, 2007, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Travel Clearing business for approximately $116 million in cash. We completed the sale of this business on July 6, 2007. The Travel Clearing business was previously reported in the Other segment. In connection with the disposal of this business, we have classified the results of operations of this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We expect to record a gain of approximately $55 million to $65 million, after taxes, which we will classify as discontinued operations in fiscal 2008. Such gain is exclusive of a working capital adjustment to the original purchase price. This working capital adjustment is expected to be finalized in fiscal 2008 and will increase or decrease the gain accordingly.
With the cash dividend from the spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business and our cash flows from operations, we continued our accelerated share buyback program and acquired over 40 million of our shares for treasury for over $1.9 billion. These share repurchases, along with our repurchase of over 29 million shares in fiscal 2006, demonstrate our confidence in ADPs future growth opportunities.
Our financial condition and balance sheet remain solid with cash and marketable securities of $1,884.6 million at June 30, 2007. Our net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $514.5 million, to $1,298.0 million in fiscal 2007, from $1,812.5 million in fiscal 2006 as a result of a decrease in the operating activities of discontinued operations of $186.1 million, as well as an increase of $247.2 million in accounts receivable and an increase of $116.2 million in other assets. The increase in accounts receivable was related to our increased revenues and the timing of collections. The increase in other assets was largely due to a $17.4 million increase in our pension plan cash contributions and a $62.3 million increase in other current assets due to the timing of certain payments for prepaid insurance and software maintenance contracts in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006.

Total Revenues
Our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2007 grew 14%, to $7,800.0, million due to increases in Employer Services of 11%, or $539.0 million, to $5,615.4 million, PEO Services of 26%, or $181.1 million, to $884.8 million, and Dealer Services of 14%, or $153.0 million, to $1,225.8 million. Our consolidated revenues, excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, grew 12% in fiscal 2007 as compared to the prior year. Revenue growth was also favorably impacted by $81.1 million, or 1%, due to fluctuations in foreign currency rates.
Our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2007 include interest on funds held for clients of $653.6 million as compared to $549.8 million in the prior year. The increase in the consolidated interest earned on funds held for clients resulted from the increase of 8% in our average client funds balances to $14.7 billion, as well as the increase in the average interest rate earned to approximately 4.5% in fiscal 2007 as compared to 4.1% in fiscal 2006.
17
Total Expenses
Our consolidated expenses increased $778.2 million, from $5,610.2 million in fiscal 2006, to $6,388.4 million in fiscal 2007. The percentage increase in our consolidated expenses was proportionate to the increase in our revenues. Additionally, the increase was due to higher pass-through costs associated with our PEO business revenues, which have pass-through operating expenses, an increase in our salesforce and implementation personnel, higher expenses associated with our Employer Services new business sales and implementation and the impact of acquisitions. Consolidated expenses also increased $79.8 million, or 1%, due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Our total cost of revenues increased $483.6 million, to $4,087.3 million in fiscal 2007, from $3,603.7 million in fiscal 2006, due to increases in our operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $421.8 million, due to the increase in revenues described above, including the increases in PEO revenues, which have pass-through costs that are re-billable, and higher compensation expenses associated with additional implementation and service personnel. The pass-through costs for our PEO revenues were $640.7 million in fiscal 2007, as compared to $511.0 million in fiscal 2006. In addition, operating expenses in fiscal 2007 increased approximately $136.0 million as a result of higher compensation expenses associated with additional implementation and service personnel, including approximately $47.0 million of spending on new business opportunities in Employer Services and PEO Services. Our new business opportunities relate to our Human Resource Business Process Outsourcing (HR BPO) opportunities, which focus on the outsourcing of integrated multiple processes such as payroll, HR, and benefits administration. This spending was targeted at expanding our Comprehensive Outsourcing Services (COS) product for larger employers, our PEO Services business, our ADP Resource® product, which is an integrated, flexible HR and payroll-based service offering, and GlobalView®, which is our outsourcing offering for multi-national and global organizations. Lastly, our operating expenses increased $30.0 million due to fluctuations in foreign currency rates and increased approximately $64.6 million due to the operating costs of new businesses acquired. Systems development and programming costs increased $20.4 million due to the increase in headcount and the additional expenses associated with our new businesses acquired and increased $6.1 million due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These increases in systems development and programming costs were offset by lower compensation expenses of approximately $16.0 million associated with the increased resources at our off-shore locations and smartshoring facilities. In addition, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $48.0 million due to increased amortization expenses of $28.2 million resulting from the intangible assets acquired with new businesses and the purchases of software and software licenses in fiscal 2007. In addition, depreciation and amortization expenses increased due to fiscal 2006 capital expenditures of approximately $100 million related to the consolidation of our data center facilities.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $272.5 million, to $2,206.2 million in fiscal 2007, due to higher selling expenses in Employer Services and PEO Services, which resulted in an increase in expenses of approximately $97.5 million and $18.3 million, respectively. The $97.5 million increase in expenses in Employer Services includes approximately $13 million for expenses relating to our HR BPO opportunities discussed above. Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased approximately $73.8 million due to the selling, general and administrative expenses related to our business acquisitions in fiscal 2007 and increased $20.1 million due to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Additionally, we had an increase in restructuring charges of $21.5 million, which primarily related to severance.
18
Interest expense increased $22.1 million in fiscal 2007 as a result of higher average borrowings and higher interest rates on our short-term commercial paper program. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Companys average borrowings under the commercial paper program were $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% and 4.1%, respectively.
Other Income, net
Other income, net, increased $76.1 million in fiscal 2007 due to a gain of $38.6 million on the sale of a minority investment, an increase of $7.5 million of realized gains on our available-for-sale securities and a decrease of $5.4 million of realized losses on our available-for-sale securities. Additionally, other income, net, included an increase in interest income on corporate funds of $24.6 million as a result of the higher average interest rates earned on our corporate balances, which increased to 4.6% in fiscal 2007 as compared to 4.0% in the prior year and our average corporate balances increased to $3.6 billion in fiscal 2007 as compared to $3.5 billion in the prior year.
Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $262.3 million, or 19%, to $1,623.5 million in fiscal 2007 due to the increase in revenues and expenses discussed above. Overall margin increased from 20% in fiscal 2006 to 21% in fiscal 2007.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate in fiscal 2007 was 37.1%, as compared to 38.2% in fiscal 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate is attributable to a favorable mix in income among tax jurisdictions and to $10.0 million of income tax expense recorded in fiscal 2006 for the repatriation in fiscal 2006 of approximately $250.0 million of eligible dividends from non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations
Net earnings from continuing operations in fiscal 2007 increased 21%, to $1,021.2 million, from $841.9 million in fiscal 2006, and the related diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 26%, to $1.83. The diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.83 includes a net one-time gain of approximately $20.3 million, net of taxes, from the sale of a Dealer Services non-core minority investment, offset by restructuring charges, which was accretive to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by approximately $0.03 per share. The increase in net earnings from continuing operations in fiscal 2007 reflects the increase in earnings from continuing operations before income taxes as a result of increased revenues offset by expenses and a lower effective tax rate. The increase in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in fiscal 2007 reflects the increase in net earnings from continuing operations and the impact of fewer shares outstanding due to the repurchase of 40.2 million shares in fiscal 2007 and 29.6 million shares in fiscal 2006.

The comparison between the results of operations in fiscal 2006 and 2005 is affected by the impact of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), effective July 1, 2005, using the modified prospective method. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. We believe the inclusion of the 2005 As Adjusted amounts provides a useful additional perspective to compare the results of operations in fiscal 2006 and 2005 as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R. We use both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP measures to manage and evaluate the Companys performance and consider it appropriate to disclose these non-GAAP measures to assist investors with analyzing business performance and trends. However, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the results of operations and diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
20
The adoption of SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements. Prior to July 1, 2005, we followed Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized related to our stock option program and employee stock purchase plan, as all options granted under the stock option program had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and, with respect to the employee stock purchase plan, the discount did not exceed fifteen percent. Stock-based compensation expense for our restricted stock program has historically been recognized in our results of operations in accordance with APB No. 25. The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense related to our stock option program, the employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock program that have been recorded in earnings from continuing operations in each respective period:

Total Revenues
Our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006 grew 11%, to $6,835.6 million, as compared to our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2005, due to increases in Employer Services of 8%, or $376.7 million, to $5,076.4 million, PEO Services of 22%, or $126.7 million, to $703.7 million, and Dealer Services of 15%, or $136.2 million, to $1,072.8 million. Our consolidated revenues, excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, grew 10% in fiscal 2006 as compared to the prior year.
Our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006 include interest on funds held for clients of $549.8 million, as compared to $421.4 million in fiscal 2005. The increase in the consolidated interest earned on funds held for clients was due to the increase of 11% in our average client funds balances in fiscal 2006 to $13.6 billion as a result of new business and growth in our existing client base, as well as the increase in the average interest rate earned on client funds from 3.4% in fiscal 2005 to 4.1% in fiscal 2006.
Total Expenses, As Reported
Our consolidated expenses in fiscal 2006 increased $654.0 million, to $5,610.2 million, from $4,956.2 million in fiscal 2005, as reported, due to an increase in our revenues described above, an increase in our stock-based compensation expense, and increases in our cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in our stock-based compensation expense in our results of operations as of July 1, 2005 is associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Total stock-based compensation expense included in continuing operations increased $130.9 million, to $142.7 million, in fiscal 2006, from $11.8 million, as reported, in fiscal 2005 due to the recording of expenses within our results of operations for our stock option program and employee stock purchase plan.
Our total cost of revenues increased $438.4 million, to $3,603.7 million in fiscal 2006, from $3,165.3 million in fiscal 2005, due to increases in our operating expenses and systems development and programming costs. Operating expenses increased $382.4 million, or 15%, due to the increase in revenues described above, including the increase in PEO revenues, which have pass-through costs. The pass-through costs associated with our PEO revenues increased $88.4 million in fiscal 2006, to $511.0 million. In addition, operating expenses increased approximately $95.3 million as a result of higher compensation expenses associated with additional implementation and service personnel. Lastly, our operating expenses increased $23.7 million due to the increase in stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2006. Systems development and programming costs increased $45.7 million, to $472.3 million, due to stock-based compensation expense of $23.3 million recorded in fiscal 2006 and increased compensation expenses associated with personnel to support and maintain our products and services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $175.1 million in fiscal 2006, to $1,933.7 million, attributable to the increase in stock-based compensation expense of $83.9 million in fiscal 2006 and increased compensation costs of $77.8 million associated with our continued investment in our sales personnel to drive our revenue growth.
Interest expense increased $40.5 million in fiscal 2006 as a result of higher interest rates and higher average borrowings on our short-term commercial paper program. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Companys average borrowings under the commercial paper program were $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.1% and 2.1%, respectively.
22
Total Expenses, As Adjusted
Our consolidated expenses in fiscal 2006 increased $509.0 million, to $5,610.2 million, from $5,101.2 million in fiscal 2005, as adjusted, due to increases in our costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. Total stock-based compensation expense included in continuing operations decreased $14.1 million, to $142.7 million in fiscal 2006, from $156.8 million, as adjusted, in fiscal 2005. This decrease was driven by the reduction in the number of stock options granted to associates, which began in fiscal 2006.
Our total cost of revenues increased $374.4 million, to $3,603.7 million in fiscal 2006, from $3,229.3 million in fiscal 2005, due to increases in our operating expenses and systems development and programming costs. Operating expenses increased $350.6 million, or 13%, due to the increase in revenues described above, including the increase in PEO revenues, which have pass-through costs. The pass-through costs associated with our PEO revenues increased $88.4 million in fiscal 2006, to $511.0 million. In addition, operating expenses increased approximately $95.3 million as a result of higher compensation expenses associated with additional implementation and service personnel. Systems development and programming costs increased $13.5 million, to $472.3 million, due to increased compensation expenses associated with personnel to support and maintain our products and services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $94.1 million in fiscal 2006, to $1,933.7 million, attributable to increased compensation costs of $77.8 million associated with our continued investment in our sales personnel to drive our revenue growth.
Interest expense increased $40.5 million in fiscal 2006 as a result of higher interest rates and higher average borrowings on our short-term commercial paper program. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Companys average borrowings under the commercial paper program were $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.1% and 2.1%, respectively.
Other Income, net
Other income, net, increased $73.1 million in fiscal 2006 due to the increase in interest income on corporate funds of $49.2 million as a result of the increase in the average interest rate earned on our corporate investments from 3.0% in fiscal 2005 to 4.0% in fiscal 2006 and a decrease in the net realized losses on available-for-sale securities of $23.9 million.
Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes, As Reported
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $123.4 million, or 10%, from $1,237.8 million, as reported, in fiscal 2005 to $1,361.2 million in fiscal 2006 due to the increase in revenues and expenses discussed above. Overall margin remained flat at 20%. We leveraged our expense levels with the increasing revenues, in order to improve margins on our services. The improved margins on our services were offset by the increase in stock compensation expenses of $130.9 million due to the recording of stock-based compensation expense associated with our stock option program and employee stock purchase plan in fiscal 2006. Additionally, our margin was negatively impacted by increasing PEO revenues, which have pass-through operating expenses and therefore lower margins.
23
Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes, As Adjusted
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $268.4 million, or 25%, from $1,092.8 million, as adjusted, in fiscal 2005 to $1,361.2 million in fiscal 2006 due to the increase in revenues and expenses discussed above. Overall margin improved from 18% to 20%. We leveraged our expense levels with the increasing revenues in order to improve margins on our services and total stock-based compensation expense decreased due to the reduction in the number of stock options granted to associates. In addition, our margin was negatively impacted by the increasing PEO revenues, which have pass-through operating expenses and therefore lower margins.
Provision for Income Taxes, As Reported
Our effective tax rate in fiscal 2006 was 38.2% as compared to 36.9%, as reported, in fiscal 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate is attributable to the expensing of stock-based compensation, as certain components of our stock-based compensation programs are non-deductible, resulting in a higher effective tax rate. In addition, the effective tax rate increased due to the application of the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act (the AJCA) to our repatriation of approximately $250.0 million of eligible dividends from non-U.S. subsidiaries, which resulted in income tax expense of approximately $10.0 million in fiscal 2006. These increases in the effective tax rate were partially offset by a favorable mix in income among tax jurisdictions.
Provision for Income Taxes, As Adjusted
Our effective tax rate was 38.2% and 38.0% in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively, as adjusted. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to additional income tax expense of approximately $10.0 million in fiscal 2006 associated with the repatriation of approximately $250.0 million of eligible dividends from non-U.S. subsidiaries under the AJCA. Certain components of our stock-based compensation programs are non-deductible, which results in a higher effective tax rate. In fiscal 2006, our non-deductible stock-based compensation expense decreased and our overall earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased, both of which offset the increase in the effective tax rate. In addition, the increase in the effective tax rate was partially offset by a favorable mix in income among tax jurisdictions.
Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, As Reported
Net earnings from continuing operations increased 8%, to $841.9 million, in fiscal 2006, from $780.6 million, as reported, in fiscal 2005 and the related diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 10%, to $1.45. The increase in net earnings from continuing operations reflects the increase in earnings from continuing operations before income taxes as a result of increased revenues offset by the additional expense associated with stock-based compensation and a higher effective tax rate as described above. The increase in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations reflects the increase in net earnings from continuing operations and the impact of fewer shares outstanding due to the repurchase of 29.6 million shares in fiscal 2006 and 14.1 million shares in fiscal 2005.
24
Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, As Adjusted
Net earnings from continuing operations increased 24%, to $841.9 million, in fiscal 2006, from $677.1 million, as adjusted, in fiscal 2005. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 26%, to $1.45 in fiscal 2006 from $1.15, as adjusted, in fiscal 2005. The increase in net earnings from continuing operations reflects the increase in earnings from continuing operations before income taxes as a result of our higher revenues and improved margin, as described above. The increase in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations reflects the increase in net earnings from continuing operations and the impact of fewer shares outstanding due to the repurchase of 29.6 million shares in fiscal 2006 and 14.1 million shares in fiscal 2005.

Employer Services
Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006
Revenues
Employer Services revenues increased 11% in fiscal 2007 due to new business started in the period, an increase in the number of employees on our clients payrolls in the United States, increased client retention, the impact of pricing increases, which contributed approximately 2% to our revenue growth, and an increase in client funds balances, which increased interest revenues. Internal revenue growth, which represents revenue growth excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, was approximately 9% for fiscal 2007. Revenue from our traditional payroll and payroll tax filing business grew 9%. The number of employees on our clients payrolls, pays per control, increased 2.3% in the United States. This employment metric represents over 141,000 payrolls of small to large businesses and reflects a broad range of U.S. geographic regions. Our worldwide client retention improved 0.1 percentage point over last years record level. Revenues from our beyond payroll services, excluding PEO Services, which is disclosed as a separate reportable segment, increased 18% in fiscal 2007, due to an increase in our Time and Labor Management services revenues of 22%, as well as the impact of certain business acquisitions in fiscal 2007.

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 $48.8 million in fiscal 2007, which represented 1% growth in Employer Services revenues, due to the increase in the average client funds balances as a
26

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes in fiscal 2007 grew at a faster rate than revenues due to the improvement in margins for our services from the leveraging of our expense structure with the increased revenues. This was offset, in part, by higher operating expenses from the increase of approximately $226.5 million in compensation expenses for implementation, service and salesforce personnel, and spending on new business opportunities related to our HR BPO offerings of approximately $7 million. This spending on new business opportunities was targeted at expanding our COS product for larger employers and our ADP Resource® product, as well as our GlobalView® product, which is our outsourcing offering for multi-national and global organizations. Lastly, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were negatively impacted by approximately $8.4 million related to six acquisitions made in fiscal 2007.

27
PEO Services
Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006
Revenues
PEO Services revenues increased $181.1 million, or 26%, to $884.8 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 22% increase in the average number of worksite employees in fiscal 2007.

This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues described above, net of the related cost of providing benefits and workers compensation coverage and payment of state unemployment taxes for worksite employees, which are included in cost of revenues, and contributed to a $52.1 million increase in our earnings from continuing operations in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to 22% growth in the average worksite employees, price increases, and improvement in margins on the workers compensation and state unemployment components of the PEO Services offering.

Dealer Services
Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006
Revenues
Dealer Services revenues increased $153.0 million, or 14%, to $1,225.8 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues in fiscal 2007 was driven by both internal revenue growth and by acquisitions. Revenues increased for our dealer business systems in North America by $74.0 million, to $946.8 million, due to growth in our key services. The growth in our key services was driven by the increased users for Application Service Provider (ASP) managed services, increased Credit Check and Computerized Vehicle Registration (CVR) transaction volume, new network installations and increased market penetration of our Digital Marketing services. Internal revenue growth, which represents revenue growth excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, was approximately 6% for fiscal 2007.

29
Revenues

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased $9.1 million, to $157.9 million, in fiscal 2006. The increases in revenues of our dealer business systems and contributions from recent acquisitions increased earnings in fiscal 2006. These increases were partially offset by additional sales expenses relating to sales personnel headcount additions. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were also negatively impacted by the integration expenses associated with the acquisition of Kerridge, including $5.6 million of restructuring expenses.
Other
The primary components of Other are miscellaneous processing services, and corporate allocations and expenses, including stock-based compensation expense reported in net earnings from continuing operations related to the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123R, effective July 1, 2005, of $130.5 million, $142.7 million and $11.8 million in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additionally, certain non-recurring gains and losses, including a gain of $38.6 million on the sale of a minority interest investment in fiscal 2007 are included in Other.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our financial condition and balance sheet remain strong. At June 30, 2007, cash and marketable securities were $1,884.6 million. The ratio of long-term debt-to-equity was 0.8% at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, working capital from continuing operations was $1,534.8 million, as compared to $1,596.4 million at June 30, 2006. This fluctuation is due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $54.0 million and $257.1 million, respectively. These decreases were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $289.7 million due to the increased revenues and the timing of collections.
Our principal sources of liquidity are derived from cash generated through operations and through cash and marketable securities on hand. 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 repurchase agreements. In addition, we have three unsecured revolving credit agreements that allow us to borrow up to $5.5 billion in the aggregate. Our short-term commercial paper program and repurchase agreements are utilized as the primary instruments to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. Our revolving credit agreements are in place to provide additional liquidity, if needed. We have never had borrowings under the revolving credit agreements. The Company believes that the internally generated cash flows and financing arrangements are adequate to support business operations and capital expenditures.

On March 30, 2007, we completed the tax free spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business, comprised of our former Brokerage Services and Securities Clearing and Outsourcing Services segments, into an independent publicly traded company called Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge). As a result of the spin-off, ADP stockholders of record on March 23, 2007 (the record date) received one share of Broadridge common stock with a par value $0.01 per share, for every four shares of ADP common stock held by them on the record date and cash for any fractional shares of Broadridge common stock. We have classified the results of operations of the spun-off business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, we recorded a decrease to retained earnings of $1,125.2 million for the non-cash reduction in net assets of the Brokerage Services Group business related to the spin-off, offset by an increase to retained earnings of $690.0 million related to the cash dividend received from Broadridge as part of the spin-off.
In February 2007, we notified holders of our zero coupon convertible subordinated notes that we would redeem all the notes that were outstanding as of the end of the business day on March 19, 2007 (the redemption date). Prior to the redemption date, notes with a face value of approximately $39 million were converted into approximately 1 million shares of the Companys common stock. We subsequently redeemed the remaining 352 notes outstanding as of the redemption date at a redemption price of $775 for each note, representing the accrued value of each note at the time of the redemption.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $1,298.0 million in fiscal 2007, as compared to $1,812.5 million in fiscal 2006 as a result of a decrease in the operating activities of discontinued operations of $186.1 million, as well as an increase of $247.2 million in accounts receivable and an increase of $116.2 million in other assets. The increase in accounts receivable was related to our increased revenues and the timing of collections. The increase in other assets was largely due to a $17.4 million increase in our pension plan cash contributions and a $62.3 million increase in other current assets due to the timing of certain payments for prepaid insurance and software maintenance contracts in fiscal 2007, as compared to fiscal 2006.
Cash flows provided by investing activities in fiscal 2007 totaled $430.8 million, as compared to $452.2 million in fiscal 2006. The fluctuation between periods was due to a decrease in proceeds from the sale of businesses included in discontinued operations, net of cash divested, of $885.2 million, which was due to the receipt of $896.2 million related to the sale of the Claims Services business and $6.2 million related to the sale of Brokerage Services financial print business in fiscal 2006, offset by $13.2 million received in fiscal 2007 representing a purchase price adjustment relating to the fiscal 2006 sale of the Claims Services business and $4.0 million received from the sale of Sandy Corporation in fiscal 2007. This net decrease was offset by the receipt of the $690.0 million cash dividend from Broadridge, which was offset by $29.9 million of cash retained by Broadridge, and the proceeds of $38.6 million received on the sale of a minority investment in fiscal 2007. The cash flows provided by investing activities in fiscal 2007 also increased $34.8 million for cash paid for intangible assets relating to software license fees and increased $107.8 million in cash paid for acquisitions as a result of the eleven businesses acquired in fiscal 2007. These increases were offset by a decrease of $86.0 million in cash paid for capital expenditures due to the completion of the consolidation of the data center facilities in fiscal 2006.
Cash flows used in financing in fiscal 2007 totaled $1,884.4 million, as compared to $1,348.8 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in cash used in financing activities was due to increased repurchases of common stock of $600.5 million and an increase in dividends paid of $67.4 million, resulting from the increase in the amount of dividends per common share in fiscal 2007, as compared to fiscal 2006, offset by the reduction in the number of shares outstanding due to the repurchase of common stock. We purchased 40.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $47.74 in fiscal
31
2007, as compared to 29.6 million shares in fiscal 2006. As of June 30, 2007, we had remaining Board of Directors authorization to purchase up to 43.8 million additional shares. These increases were offset, in part, by an increase in proceeds received from the stock purchase plan and exercises of stock options of $126.2 million due to higher levels of stock option exercises in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006.
In June 2007, we entered into a $1.75 billion, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders. The 364-day facility replaced the Companys prior $1.75 billion 364-day facility. We also have a $1.5 billion credit facility and a $2.25 billion credit facility that mature in June 2010 and June 2011, respectively. The five-year facilities contain accordion features under which the aggregate commitments can each be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The interest rate applicable to the borrowings is tied to LIBOR or prime rate depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing. We are 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. There were no borrowings through June 30, 2007 under the credit agreements.
We maintain a U.S. short-term commercial paper program providing for the issuance of up to $5.5 billion in aggregate maturity value of commercial paper at the Companys discretion. Our commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poors and Prime-1 by Moodys. These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities. Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no commercial paper outstanding. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Companys average borrowings were $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% and 4.1%, respectively. The weighted average maturity of the Companys commercial paper was less than two days in both fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006.
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 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. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no outstanding obligations under repurchase agreements. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Company had average outstanding balances under repurchase agreements of $141.6 million and $165.7 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.4% and 3.5%, respectively.
Capital expenditures for continuing operations in fiscal 2007 were $169.7 million, as compared to $252.8 million in fiscal 2006 and $160.3 million in fiscal 2005. The capital expenditures in fiscal 2007 related to data center and other facility improvements to support our operations. The decrease in capital expenditures from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007 was primarily related to lower capital expenditures relating to the consolidation of the data centers, which was completed in fiscal 2006. We expect capital expenditures in fiscal 2008 to be approximately $200 million.

(1) These amounts represent the principal repayments of our debt and are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about our debt and related matters.
(2) Included in these amounts are various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements. We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business relating to facilities and equipment, as well as the licensing of software. The majority of our lease agreements have fixed payment terms based on the passage of time. Certain facility and equipment leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices. Our future operating lease obligations could change if we exit certain contracts or if we enter into additional operating lease agreements.
(3) Purchase obligations primarily relate to purchase and maintenance agreements on our software, equipment and other assets.
(4) Compensation and benefits primarily relates to amounts associated with our employee benefit plans and other compensation arrangements.
In addition to the obligations quantified in the table above, we had obligations for the remittance of funds relating to our payroll and payroll tax filing services. As of June 30, 2007, the obligations relating to these matters, which are expected to be paid in fiscal 2008, total $18,673.0 million and were recorded in client funds obligations on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We had $18,489.2 million of cash and marketable securities recorded in funds held for clients on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2007 that have been impounded from our clients to satisfy such obligations.
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, ADP Indemnity, Inc., provides workers compensation and employer liability insurance coverage for our PEO worksite employees. We have secured specific per occurrence and aggregate stop loss reinsurance from third-party carriers that cap losses that reach a certain level in each policy year. We utilize historical loss experience and actuarial judgment to determine the estimated claim liability for the PEO business. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, we received premiums of $51.4 million and $46.5 million, respectively, and paid claims of $27.4 million and $21.9 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007, our cash and marketable securities included balances totaling approximately $131.8 million to cover the actuarially-estimated cost of workers compensation claims for the policy years that the PEO worksite employees were covered by ADP Indemnity, Inc.
33
In the normal course of business, we also 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).
In order to provide more cost-effective liquidity and maximize our interest income, 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. In these instances, a portion of this portfolio is considered and reported within the corporate investment balances in order to reflect the pure client funds assets and related obligations. Interest income on the corporate investment portion of the portfolio is reported in other income, net on our Statements of Consolidated Earnings.
Our corporate investments are invested in cash equivalents and highly liquid, investment grade 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 marketable 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, while also seeking 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. A significant portion of the client funds assets are invested in U.S. government agency securities.
We have established credit quality, maturity, and exposure limits for our investments. The minimum allowed credit rating for fixed income securities is BBB and for asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities is AAA. The maximum maturity at time of purchase for a BBB-rated security is 5 years, for a 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.

In fiscal 2007, approximately 25% of our overall investment portfolio was invested in cash and cash equivalents and, therefore, is impacted by changes in short-term interest rates. The other 75% of our investment portfolio was invested in fixed-income securities, with varying maturities of 10 years or less, which were also subject to interest rate risk including reinvestment risk.
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 and is impacted by daily interest rate changes. A hypothetical change in both short-term interest rates (e.g., overnight interest rates or the Fed Funds rates) and intermediate-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated fiscal 2008 average investment balances and any related borrowings would result in approximately an $11 million impact to earnings before income taxes over a twelve-month period. A hypothetical change in only short-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated fiscal 2008 average short-term investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $7 million impact to earnings before income taxes over a twelve-month period.
The Company is 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. The Company limits credit risk by investing in AAA and AA rated securities, as rated by Moodys, Standard & Poors, and for Canadian securities, Dominion Bond Rating Service. At June 30, 2007, approximately 95% of our available-for-sale securities held an AAA or AA rating. In addition, we also limit amounts that can be invested in any security other than US and Canadian government or government agency securities.
35
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact its financial position, results of operations and 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. We did not enter into any derivative financial instruments in fiscal 2007, nor were there any derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2007.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for non-vested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. We do not expect EITF 06-11 will have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement provides companies with an option to measure selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In September 2006, the Staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires registrants to use a combination of two approaches to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors, the rollover approach, which quantifies an error based on the amount of the error originating in the current year income statement, and the iron curtain approach, which quantifies an error based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year. SAB 108 permits companies to adjust for the cumulative effect of immaterial errors relating to prior years in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the current fiscal year, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. We have adopted SAB 108 in fiscal 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 resulted in an increase to our opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2006 of approximately $44.3 million, net of tax.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (SFAS No. 158). This statement would require a company to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status, (b) measure a plans assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers fiscal year, and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur (reported in comprehensive income). The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the related disclosure requirements were adopted by the Company at the end of fiscal 2007.
36
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and defines the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered more-likely-than-not to be sustained then no benefits of the position are to be recognized. FIN 48 requires additional annual disclosures and is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2008 (i.e., as of July 1, 2007). While we continue to analyze the effect of adopting the provisions of FIN 48, it is currently expected that a cumulative effect adjustment in the range of $15 million to $30 million will be charged to retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to increase the reserve for uncertain tax positions. This estimate is subject to change as we complete our analysis.
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 results of operations or financial position are discussed below.
Revenue Recognition. Our revenues are primarily attributable to fees for providing services (e.g., Employer Services payroll processing fees) as well as investment income on payroll funds, payroll tax filing funds and other Employer Services client-related funds. We enter into agreements for a fixed fee per transaction (e.g., number of payees). Fees associated with services are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned under service arrangements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Our service fees are determined based on written price quotations or service agreements having stipulated terms and conditions that do not require management to make any significant judgments or assumptions regarding any potential uncertainties. Interest income on collected but not yet remitted funds held for clients is recognized in revenues as earned, as the collection, holding and remittance of these funds are critical components of providing these services.
We also recognize revenues associated with the sale of software systems and associated software licenses. For a majority of our software sales arrangements, which provide hardware, software licenses, installation and post-contract customer support, revenues are recognized ratably over the software license term as vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of the individual elements in the sales arrangement does not exist. Changes to the elements in an arrangement and the ability to establish vendor-specific objective evidence for those elements could affect the timing of the revenue recognition.
37
We assess collectibility of our revenues based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customers payment history. We do not believe that a change in our assumptions utilized in the collectibility determination would result in a material change to revenues as no single customer accounts for a significant portion of our revenues.
Goodwill. We review the carrying value of all our goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, by comparing the carrying value of our reporting units to their fair values. We are required to perform this comparison at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. When determining fair value, we utilize a discounted future cash flow approach using various assumptions, including projections of revenues based on assumed long-term growth rates, estimated costs, and appropriate discount rates based on the Companys weighted average cost of capital. Our estimates of long-term growth and costs are based on historical data, various internal estimates and a variety of external sources, and are developed as part of our routine long-range planning process. We had $2,353.6 million of goodwill as of June 30, 2007. Given the significance of our goodwill, an adverse change to the fair value could result in an impairment charge, which could be material to our consolidated earnings.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entitys financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns (e.g., realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof). In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R requires the measurement of stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. We determine the fair value of stock options issued by using a binominal option-pricing model. The binomial option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions related to volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the binomial option-pricing model are based on a combination of implied market volatilities, historical volatility of the Companys 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 option-pricing 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. Determining these assumptions are subjective and complex, and therefore, a change in the assumptions utilized could impact the calculation of the fair value of our stock options. Prior to July 1, 2005, we followed APB No. 25, and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized related to our stock option program and employee stock purchase plan, as all options granted under the stock option program had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and, with respect to the employee stock purchase plan, the discount did not exceed fifteen percent.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
Roseland, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of consolidated earnings, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) 2. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2007 the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), effective June 30, 2007 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, effective July 1, 2006, on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.
In addition, in 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, as revised, effective July 1, 2005.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 29, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Consolidation and Basis of Preparation. The consolidated financial statements include the financial results of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company or ADP). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
B. Description of Business. The Company is a provider of technology-based outsourcing solutions to employers, and vehicle retailers and manufacturers. The Company classifies its operations into the following reportable segments: Employer Services, PEO Services, Dealer Services and Other. Other consists primarily of miscellaneous processing services, and corporate allocations and expenses, including stock-based compensation expense related to the Companys adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), effective July 1, 2005.
As further discussed in Note 5, on June 30, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Travel Clearing business for approximately $116 million in cash. Additionally, on March 30, 2007 the Company completed the tax free spin-off of its former Brokerage Services Group business, comprised of the former Brokerage Services and Securities Clearing and Outsourcing Services segments, into an independent publicly traded company called Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge). Lastly, on January 23, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Sandy Corporation, a business within the Dealer Services segment, which specializes in sales and marketing training. The Company has classified the results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
C. Revenue Recognition. A majority of the Companys revenues are attributable to fees for providing services (e.g., Employer Services payroll processing fees) as well as investment income on payroll funds, payroll tax filing funds and other client-related funds. The Company typically enters into agreements for a fixed fee per transaction (e.g., number of payees). Fees associated with services are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned under service arrangements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Interest income on collected but not yet remitted funds held for clients is earned on funds that are collected from clients and invested until remittance to the applicable tax agencies or clients employees. The interest earned on these funds is included in revenues because the collection, holding and remittance of these funds are critical components of providing these services.
The Company also recognizes revenues associated with the sale of software systems and associated software licenses. For a majority of the Companys software sales arrangements, which provide hardware, software licenses, installation and post-contract customer support, revenues are recognized ratably over the software license term as vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of the individual elements in the sales arrangement does not exist.
44
Professional Employer Organization (PEO) revenues are reported in PEO revenues on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings and are reported net of direct pass-through costs, which are costs billed and incurred for PEO worksite employees, primarily consisting of payroll wages and payroll taxes. Benefits and workers compensation fees for PEO worksite employees are included in PEO revenues and the associated costs are included in operating expenses.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Investment securities with a maturity of ninety days or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents.
E. Corporate Investments and Funds Held for Clients. All of the Companys marketable securities are considered to be available-for-sale and, accordingly, are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific-identification basis and are included in other income, net.
If the market value of any available-for-sale security declines below cost and it is deemed to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to earnings for the difference between the carrying amount of the respective security and the fair value.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related available-for-sale security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
F. Long-term Receivables. Long-term receivables relate to notes receivable from the sale of computer systems, primarily to automotive, heavy truck and powersports dealers. Unearned income from finance receivables represents the excess of gross receivables over the sales price of the computer systems financed. Unearned income is amortized using the effective-interest method to maintain a constant rate of return on the net investment over the term of each contract.
The allowance for doubtful accounts on long-term receivables is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing note receivables.
G. Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives of assets are primarily as follows:
Data processing equipment | 2 to 5 years |
Buildings | 20 to 40 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 to 7 years |
H. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which states that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. If an impairment exists, a write-down to fair value (normally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144).
45
I. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
J. Foreign Currency Translation. The net assets of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates in effect at the end of each period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in the periods. Currency transaction gains or losses, which are included in the results of operations, are immaterial for all periods presented. Gains or losses from balance sheet translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
K. Derivative Financial Instruments. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value and are recognized as assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in the fair value of the derivatives recognized in either net earnings from continuing operations or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the timing and designated purpose of the derivative, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The Company did not enter into any derivative financial instruments in fiscal 2007, nor were there any derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2007.
L. Earnings per Share (EPS). The calculations of basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

Options to purchase 16.9 million, 26.6 million, and 34.6 million shares of common stock for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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 fiscal year.
46
M. Stock-Based Compensation. As further discussed in Note 14, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, effective July 1, 2005, using the modified prospective method. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. The adoption of this standard requires the measurement of stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized related to the Companys stock option program and employee stock purchase plan, as all options granted under the stock option program had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and, with respect to the employee stock purchase plan, the discount did not exceed fifteen percent.
N. Internal Use Software. Expenditures for major software purchases and software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized over a three- to five-year period on a straight-line basis. For software developed or obtained for internal use, the Company capitalizes costs in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. The Companys policy provides for the capitalization of external direct costs of materials and services associated with developing or obtaining internal use computer software. In addition, the Company also capitalizes certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with internal use computer software projects. The amount of capitalizable payroll costs with respect to these employees is limited to the time directly spent on such projects. Costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance and all other post-implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. The Company also expenses internal costs related to minor upgrades and enhancements, as it is impractical to separate these costs from normal maintenance activities.
O. Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. The Company capitalizes certain costs of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. The Companys policy provides for the capitalization of all software production costs upon reaching technological feasibility for a specific product. Technological feasibility is attained when software products have a completed working model whose consistency with the overall product design has been confirmed by testing. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. The establishment of technological feasibility requires judgment by management and in many instances is only attained a short time prior to the general release of the software. Upon the general release of the software product to customers, capitalization ceases and such costs are amortized over a three-year period on a straight-line basis. Maintenance-related costs are expensed as incurred.
P. Income Taxes. The provisions for income taxes, income taxes payable and deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset balance will not be realized.
Q. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for non-vested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to
47
additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. The Company does not expect EITF 06-11 will have a material impact on its results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement provides companies with an option to measure selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In September 2006, the Staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires registrants to use a combination of two approaches to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors: the rollover approach, which quantifies an error based on the amount of the error originating in the current year income statement, and the iron curtain approach, which quantifies an error based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year. SAB 108 permits companies to adjust for the cumulative effect of immaterial errors relating to prior years in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the current fiscal year, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company adopted SAB 108 in fiscal 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 resulted in an increase to opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2006 of approximately $44.3 million, net of tax (see Note 18).
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (SFAS No. 158). This statement would require a company to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status, (b) measure a plans assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers fiscal year, and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur (reported in comprehensive income). The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the related disclosure requirements were effective for the Company as of the end of fiscal 2007 and the Company adopted the statement at that time (see Note 14).
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and defines the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered more-likely-than-not to be sustained then no benefits of the position are to be recognized. FIN 48 requires additional annual disclosures and is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2008 (i.e., as of July 1, 2007). While the Company continues to
48
analyze the effect of adopting the provisions of FIN 48, it is currently expected that a cumulative effect adjustment in the range of $15 million to $30 million will be charged to retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to increase its reserve for uncertain tax positions. This estimate is subject to change as the Company completes its analysis.

In fiscal 2007, the Company sold a minority investment that was previously accounted for using the cost basis and had a net book value of $0. The Companys sale of this investment resulted in a gain of $38.6 million.
NOTE 3. COST OF REVENUES
The Company has revised the format of the Statements of Consolidated Earnings to include a separate line item for cost of revenues. The Companys costs and expenses applicable to revenues (cost of revenues) represent the total of operating expenses and systems development and programming costs as previously presented on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings, as well as the portion of depreciation and amortization that relates to our services and products.
The Company previously reported that depreciation and amortization from continuing operations totaled $246.0 million and $225.6 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. The portion of depreciation and amortization that relates to our services and products was $160.9 million and $150.6 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, and is included in cost of revenues. The portion of depreciation and amortization that does not relate to our services and products of $85.1 million and $75.0 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, was reclassified to selling, general and administrative expenses on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.
NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Companys 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. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses.
49
The Company acquired eleven businesses in fiscal 2007 for approximately $434.4 million, net of cash acquired. These acquisitions resulted in approximately $327.2 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled approximately $157.9 million, consist primarily of software, and customer contracts and lists that are being amortized over a weighted average life of 9 years. In addition, the Company made $12.5 million of contingent payments relating to previously consummated acquisitions. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had contingent consideration remaining for all transactions of approximately $106.6 million, of which approximately $49.7 million was recorded as a liability at June 30, 2007. The liability was recorded because it is reasonably probable that the contingency was expected to be achieved. The contingent consideration is payable over the next four years and is subject to the acquired entitys achievement of specified revenue, earnings and/or development targets.
The Company acquired five businesses in fiscal 2006 for approximately $353.8 million, net of cash acquired. These acquisitions resulted in approximately $362.5 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled approximately $74.7 million, consist primarily of software, and customer contracts and lists that are being amortized over a weighted average life of 10 years. In addition, the Company made $0.7 million of contingent payments relating to previously consummated acquisitions.
The Company acquired five businesses in fiscal 2005 for approximately $422.6 million, net of cash acquired. These acquisitions resulted in approximately $162.1 million of goodwill. Intangible assets acquired, which totaled approximately $30.0 million, consist primarily of software, and customer contracts and lists that are being amortized over a weighted average life of 8 years. In addition, the Company made $12.3 million of contingent payments (including $0.5 million in common stock) relating to previously consummated acquisitions.
The acquisitions discussed above for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Companys operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 5. DIVESTITURES
On June 30, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Travel Clearing business for approximately $116 million in cash. The Company completed the sale of its Travel Clearing business on July 6, 2007. The Travel Clearing business was previously reported in the Other segment. In connection with the disposal of this business, the Company has classified the results of operations of this business as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2007.
On March 30, 2007, the Company completed the tax free spin-off of its former Brokerage Services Group business, comprised of the former Brokerage Services and Securities Clearing and Outsourcing Services segments, into an independent publicly traded company called Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge). As a result of the spin-off, ADP stockholders of record on March 23, 2007 (the record date) received one share of Broadridge common stock, for every four shares of ADP common stock held by them on the record date and cash for any fractional shares of Broadridge common stock. ADP distributed approximately 138.8 million shares of Broadridge common stock in the distribution. The spin-off was made without the payment of any consideration or the exchange of any shares by ADP stockholders. The Company has classified the results of operations of the spun-off business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, the Company recorded a decrease to retained earnings of $1,125.2 million for the non-cash reduction in net assets of the Brokerage Services Group business related to the spin-off, offset by an increase to retained earnings of $690.0 million related to the cash dividend received from Broadridge as part of the spin-off. The spin-off and the transitional and on-going relationships between ADP and Broadridge are governed by a Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into between ADP and Broadridge, and other ancillary agreements.
50
The Companys ongoing relationship with Broadridge includes providing data center services pursuant to an outsourcing agreement signed at the time of the spin-off. The agreement states that the Company will continue to provide data center outsourcing services, principally information technology services and service delivery network services, to Broadridge in the same capacity post-spin as it had been pre-spin. The outsourcing agreement went into effect upon consummation of the spin-off on March 30, 2007 and expires on June 30, 2012. As a result of the outsourcing agreement, the Company recognized income of $27.5 million in fiscal 2007, which is offset by expenses associated with providing such services of $27.5 million. The fee structure in the agreement provides for revenues to exceed the Companys expenses for the remainder of the term. The income and expenses associated with the outsourcing agreement are reported in other income, net in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The related receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet from Broadridge for the services under this agreement was $9.6 million on June 30, 2007.
Incremental costs associated with the spin-off in fiscal 2007 of $37.8 million are included in earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings and are principally related to professional services.
On January 23, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Sandy Corporation, a business within the Dealer Services segment, which specializes in sales and marketing training, for approximately $4.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyer, plus an additional earn-out payment if certain revenue targets are achieved. The Company reported a gain of $11.2 million, or $6.9 million after tax within earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The Company has classified the results of operations of this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On April 13, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Claims Services business to Solera, Inc. for $975.0 million in cash and reported a gain of $560.9 million, or $452.8 million after tax, in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007, the Company received an additional payment of $13.2 million, or $12.6 million after tax, from Solera, Inc., which represented the final purchase price adjustment for the sale of the Claims Services business. The Company reported the gain and the final purchase price adjustment within earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The Claims Services business was a separate operating segment of the Company and was reported in the Other segment. In connection with the disposal of this business, the Company has classified the results of operations of this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On January 20, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Brokerage Services financial print business for $7.5 million in cash. The Company classified the results of operations of this business as discontinued operations in fiscal 2006. In connection with the plan to dispose of the financial print business, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $18.6 million in order to reflect the assets of this business at fair value in fiscal 2006 in accordance with SFAS No. 144. This impairment charge is included in the earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

The Company believes its available-for-sale securities that have fair values below cost are not other-than-temporarily impaired since it is probable that the principal and interest would be collected in accordance with contractual terms, and that the decline in the market value was primarily due to changes in interest rates and not changes to credit risk. The Company currently believes that it has the ability and intent to hold these investments until the earlier of market price recovery and/or maturity. The Companys assessment that an investment is not other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in the Companys strategies or assumptions related to any particular investment.

In fiscal 2006, the Company completed a review of income tax amounts, which were recorded as part of certain international acquisitions completed in prior years. As a result of this review, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce previously recognized goodwill of $99.1 million and previously recognized income tax amounts of the same amount, which were recorded within income taxes payable and deferred tax liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effect of these adjustments corrects the goodwill and related income taxes payable and deferred income tax liability balances as they relate to these respective acquisitions. The Company has not restated the prior period financial statements since the amounts are not material to the statements of financial position and this adjustment had no impact to the results of operations or cash flows in any prior year period.
In fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company performed the required impairment tests of goodwill and determined that there was no impairment.

Intangible assets, net | $ | 688.0 | $ | 526.2 |
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 (3 years for software and software licenses, 11 years for customer contracts and lists, and 11 years for other intangibles). Amortization of intangible assets totaled $145.5 million, $116.4 million and $110.1 million for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Estimated amortization expenses of the Companys existing intangible assets for the next five fiscal years are as follows:
2008 | $ | 149.6 |
2009 | $ | 125.6 |
2010 | $ | 94.2 |
2011 | $ | 69.2 |
2012 | $ | 64.2 |
NOTE 10. SHORT-TERM FINANCING
In June 2007, the Company entered into a $1.75 billion, 364-day credit agreement with a group of lenders. The 364-day facility replaced the Companys prior $1.75 billion 364-day facility. The Company also has a $1.5 billion credit facility and a $2.25 billion credit facility that mature in June 2010 and June 2011, respectively. The five-year facilities contain accordion features under which the aggregate commitments can each be increased by $500.0 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The interest rate applicable to the borrowings is tied to LIBOR or 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 June 30, 2007 under the credit agreements.
The Company maintains a U.S. short-term commercial paper program providing for the issuance of up to $5.5 billion in aggregate maturity value of commercial paper at the Companys discretion. The Companys commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard and Poors and Prime-1 by Moodys.
57
These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities. Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no commercial paper outstanding. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Companys average borrowings were $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% and 4.1%, respectively. The weighted average maturity of the Companys commercial paper in fiscal 2007 and 2006 was less than two days for both fiscal years.
The Companys U.S. and Canadian short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of 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. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no outstanding obligations under repurchase agreements. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Company had average outstanding balances under repurchase agreements of $141.6 million and $165.7 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.4% and 3.5%, respectively.

In fiscal 2007, the Company notified holders of its zero coupon convertible subordinated notes that the Company would redeem all the notes that were outstanding as of the end of the business day on March 19, 2007 (the redemption date). Prior to the redemption date, notes with a face value of approximately $39 million were converted into approximately one million shares of the Companys common stock. The Company subsequently redeemed the remaining 352 notes outstanding as of the redemption date at a redemption price of $775 for each note, representing the accrued value of each note at the time of the redemption.
The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds and other debt, included above, approximates carrying value.

Cash payments relating to interest on long-term debt and the short-term financing arrangements described in Note 10 were approximately $93.5 million, $67.4 million, and $25.7 million in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
NOTE 12. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
In fiscal 2006, the Company had an outstanding foreign exchange forward contract to hedge against foreign exchange fluctuations on a Canadian dollar-denominated short-term intercompany loan. This forward contract did not qualify for foreign currency fair value hedge accounting treatment in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and, therefore, was recorded at fair value with any gains or losses recognized in current period earnings. In fiscal 2006, the Company recorded foreign exchange net losses of $4.0 million on the re-measurement of this foreign exchange forward contract, which offset the foreign exchange net gains of $4.4 million recorded on the re-measurement of the Companys Canadian dollar-denominated short-term intercompany loan. Both the Companys foreign exchange forward contract and Canadian dollar-denominated short-term intercompany loan matured in April 2006. The cash flows from the Companys derivative contract are reflected as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company does not hold any derivative instruments for trading purposes.
The Company did not enter into any derivative financial instruments in fiscal 2007, nor were there any derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2007.
NOTE 13. FUNDS HELD FOR CLIENTS AND CLIENT FUNDS OBLIGATIONS
As part of its integrated payroll and payroll tax filing services, the Company impounds funds for federal, state and local employment taxes from approximately 434,000 clients; handles regulatory payroll tax filings, correspondence, amendments, and penalty and interest disputes; remits the funds to the appropriate tax agencies; and handles other employer-related services. In addition to fees paid by clients for these services, the Company receives interest in the interval between the receipt and disbursement of these funds by investing the funds primarily in fixed-income instruments. The amount of collected but not yet remitted funds for the Companys payroll and payroll tax filing and other services varies significantly in the fiscal year, and averaged approximately $14,682.9 million, $13,566.2 million and $12,263.9 million in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
A. Stock Plans. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which requires stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in net earnings, based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation consists of the following:

60
The Company currently utilizes treasury stock to satisfy stock option exercises, issuances under its employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock awards. Stock-based compensation expense of $130.5 million, $142.7 million and $11.8 million was recognized in earnings from continuing operations in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as well as tax benefits on such stock compensation expense of $38.9 million, $41.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Total pretax stock-based compensation expense | $ | 148.7 | $ | 174.9 | $ | 14.6 |
The total stock-based compensation expense included in earnings from continuing operations before income taxes includes expenses related to restricted stock awards of $41.0 million, $17.3 million, and $11.8 million in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost from continuing operations related to non-vested stock options, the employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock awards amounted to $71.3 million, $19.9 million and $64.6 million, respectively, which will be amortized over the weighted average periods of 1.2 years, 0.8 years and 1.1 years, respectively.
As a result of the spin-off of Broadridge, the number of vested and unvested ADP stock options, as well as the strike price on these options, and the number of shares elected under the outstanding employee stock purchase plan, as well as the purchase price for these offerings, was adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately prior to the spin-off using an adjustment ratio based on the ADP closing market stock price prior to the spin-off and the ADP opening market stock price subsequent to the spin-off. Additionally, the target awards outstanding under the two-year performance-based restricted stock program were adjusted using the same adjustment ratio. As the adjustments were considered modifications of awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company compared the fair value of the awards immediately prior to the spin-off to the fair value immediately after the spin-off to measure the incremental stock-based compensation cost. The adjustments did not result in an increase in the fair value of the awards and, accordingly, the Company did not record incremental stock-based compensation expense. ADP stock options and restricted stock target awards held by Broadridge employees were cancelled or forfeited as of the date of the spin-off. The stock-based compensation expense associated with the original grant of ADP stock to continuing ADP employees will continue to be recognized within earnings from continuing operations on the Companys Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The stock-based compensation expense related to Broadridge employees for services received through March 30, 2007 are reflected in earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2007 was $275.2 million and $181.8 million, respectively, and the aggregate intrinsic value for stock options exercised in fiscal 2007 was $127.8 million. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows (reflected in income taxes payable). SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax deductions realized in excess of the compensation costs recognized for the stock options exercised) from the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123R to be classified as financing cash flows. Therefore, excess tax benefits for fiscal 2007 and 2006 have been classified as financing cash flows.
Summarized information about stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2007 is as follows:

In fiscal 2007, the Company issued 2.3 million shares in connection with the employee stock purchase plan offering that vested on December 31, 2006. The Company expects to issue approximately 2.1 million and 2.5 million shares for the employee stock purchase plan offerings that vest on December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. In addition, in fiscal 2007, the Company issued 423,849 shares of restricted stock.

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 Companys 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:
Years ended June 30, | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.6% - 5.0% | 4.0% - 4.6% | 2.1% - 4.2% | ||||||

(a) The weighted average fair values were adjusted to reflect the impact of the spin-off of Broadridge.
B. Pension Plans. The Company has a defined benefit cash balance pension plan covering substantially all U.S. employees, under which employees are credited with a percentage of base pay plus interest. The plan interest credit rate will vary from year-to-year based on the ten-year U.S. Treasury rate. Employees are fully vested on completion of five years of service. The Companys policy is to make contributions within the range determined by generally accepted actuarial principles. In addition, the Company has various retirement plans for its non-U.S. employees and maintains a Supplemental Officer Retirement Plan (SORP). The SORP is a defined benefit plan pursuant to which the Company will pay supplemental pension benefits to certain key officers upon retirement based upon the officers years of service and compensation.
A June 30 measurement date was used in determining the Companys benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (SFAS No. 158). This statement requires a company to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status, (b) measure a plans assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers fiscal year, and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur (reported in comprehensive income). The requirement to recognize the funded status
64
of a benefit plan and the related disclosure requirements were effective for the Company as of the end of fiscal 2007 and the Company adopted the statement at that time. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 resulted in a $63.1 million reduction in stockholders equity, net of income taxes.
The Companys pension plans funded status as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:
June 30, | 2007 | 2006 | ||||||

The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 158 resulted in a reduction to stockholders equity of $63.1 million, which consists of the following adjustments to the Consolidated Balance Sheet:
Current Assets | $ | 1.6 | |
Noncurrent Assets | (51.3 | ) | |
Current Liabilities | (2.8 | ) | |
Noncurrent Liabilities | (10.6 | ) | |

After the adoption of SFAS No. 158, the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 consisted of:
Noncurrent assets | $ | 201.3 | |
Current liabilities | (2.9 | ) | |
Noncurrent liabilities | (52.5 | ) | |
Net amount recognized | $ | 145.9 |
65
As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 158, the $63.1 million that is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of:
Years ended June 30, | 2007 | |||
Net actuarial and other loss, net of tax | $ | (61.6 | ) | |
Prior service cost, net of tax | (0.5 | ) | ||
Transition obligation, net of tax | (1.0 | ) | ||
$ | (63.1 | ) |
The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $824.3 million and $756.8 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the Companys pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $95.9 million, $93.6 million and $40.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2007, and $84.4 million, $81.4 million and $34.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2006.
The components of net pension expense were as follows:

Net pension expense for fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 includes $3.5 million, $3.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, reported within earnings from discontinued operations on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings.
The estimated net actuarial and other loss, transition obligation and prior service credit for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $10.1 million, $0.2 million and $(0.2) million, respectively.
Assumptions used to determine the actuarial present value of benefit obligations were:
Years ended June 30, | 2007 | 2006 | ||
Discount rate | 6.25% | 6.25% | ||
Increase in compensation levels | 5.50% | 5.50% |
Assumptions used to determine the net pension expense generally were:
Years ended June 30, | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | |||
Discount rate | 6.25% | 5.25% | 6.00% | |||
Expected long-term rate of return on assets | 7.25% | 7.25% | 7.25% | |||
Increase in compensation levels | 5.50% | 5.50% | 5.50% |
66
The discount rate is based upon published rates for high-quality fixed-income investments that produce cash flows that approximate the timing and amount of expected future benefit payments.
The long-term expected rate of return on assets assumption is 7.25%. This percentage has been determined based on historical and expected future rates of return on plan assets considering the target asset mix and the long-term investment strategy.
Plan Assets
The Companys pension plans weighted average asset allocations at June 30, 2007 and 2006 by asset category were as follows:
2007 | 2006 | ||
United States Fixed Income Securities | 30% | 32% | |
United States Equity Securities | 50% | 48% | |
International Equity Securities | 20% | 20% | |
Total | 100% | 100% |
The Companys pension plans asset investment strategy is designed to ensure prudent management of assets, consistent with long-term return objectives and the prompt fulfillment of all pension plan obligations. The investment strategy and asset mix were developed in coordination with an asset liability study conducted by external consultants to maximize the funded ratio with the least amount of volatility.
The pension plans assets are currently invested in various asset classes with differing expected rates of return, correlations and volatilities, including large capitalization and small capitalization U.S. equities, international equities, and U.S. fixed income securities and cash.
The target asset allocation ranges are as follows:
United States Fixed Income Securities | 30 40 % |
United States Equity Securities | 45 55 % |
International Equity Securities | 12 20 % |
Total Equities | 60 70 % |
The pension plans fixed income portfolio is designed to match the duration and liquidity characteristics of the pension plans liabilities. In addition, the pension plans invest only in investment-grade debt securities to ensure preservation of capital. The pension plans equity portfolios are subject to diversification guidelines to reduce the impact of losses in single investments. Investment managers are prohibited from buying or selling commodities and from the short selling of securities.
None of the pension plans assets are directly invested in the Companys stock, although the pension plans may hold a minimal amount of Company stock to the extent of the Companys participation in the S&P 500 Index.
Contributions
The Company expects to contribute approximately $50 million to the pension plans in fiscal 2008.
67
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
The benefits expected to be paid in each year from fiscal 2008 to 2012 are $39.6 million, $41.8 million, $46.2 million, $51.9 million and $57.4 million, respectively. The aggregate benefits expected to be paid in the five fiscal years from 2013 to 2017 are $411.3 million. The expected benefits to be paid are based on the same assumptions used to measure the Companys pension plans benefit obligation at June 30, 2007 and includes estimated future employee service.
C. Retirement and Savings Plan. The Company has a 401(k) retirement and savings plan, which allows eligible employees to contribute up to 35% of their compensation annually and allows highly compensated employees to contribute up to 10% of their compensation annually. The Company matches a portion of employee contributions, which amounted to approximately $47.5 million, $44.5 million, and $40.2 million for calendar years ending December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and their balance sheet classifications are as follows:

There are $68.2 million and $69.5 million of current deferred tax assets included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There are $1.8 million and $1.1 million of long-term deferred tax assets included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There are $1.2 million and $7.9 million of current deferred tax liabilities included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of approximately $655.6 million and $1,256.9 million as of June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, as the Company considers such earnings to be permanently reinvested outside of the United States. The amount of undistributed earnings for which income tax has not been provided decreased in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 due to the intent to repatriate approximately $680.0 million, of which approximately $140.0 million was repatriated in fiscal 2007 and $540.0 million of which is expected to be repatriated in fiscal 2008.
69
On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (the AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA created a temporary incentive for the Company to repatriate earnings accumulated outside the U.S. by allowing the Company to reduce its taxable income by 85 percent of certain eligible dividends received from non-U.S. subsidiaries by the end of the Companys fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. In connection with the sale of the Claims Services business on April 13, 2006 and receipt of the related proceeds, the Company elected to apply the provisions of the AJCA to qualifying earnings repatriations in fiscal 2006. As approved by our Board of Directors in June 2006, approximately $250 million was repatriated under the AJCA. Income tax expense of approximately $10 million associated with this repatriation was recorded in fiscal 2006.
The additional U.S. and non-U.S. income and withholding tax that would arise on repatriation of the remaining undistributed earnings could be offset, in part, by foreign tax credits on such repatriation. However, it is impractical to estimate the amount of net income and withholding tax that might be payable.
The Company has estimated foreign net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $101.7 million as of June 30, 2007, of which $11.7 million expires in 2010 through 2022 and $90.0 million has an indefinite utilization period. In addition, the Company has estimated Federal net operating losses of acquired companies of approximately $64.5 million as of June 30, 2007, which expires in 2008 through 2026. There is an annual limitation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 382 on the utilization of the Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $24.0 million per year.
The Company has recorded valuation allowances of $31.2 million and $21.3 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, to reflect the estimated amount of domestic and foreign deferred tax assets that may not be realized. A portion of the valuation allowances in the amounts of approximately $6.6 million and $1.8 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, relate to net deferred tax assets which were recorded in purchase accounting. Any recognition of such amounts in future years will be a reduction to goodwill.
Income tax payments were approximately $718.2 million, $601.8 million, and $378.9 million for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company is routinely examined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tax authorities in countries in which it conducts business, as well as in states in which it has significant business operations. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. The IRS is conducting an examination of fiscal 2003 through fiscal 2007. The Company is a current participant in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process audit program.
The Company regularly considers the likelihood of assessments in each of the jurisdictions resulting from examinations. The Company has established tax reserves which it believes are adequate in relation to the potential assessments. Once established, reserves are adjusted when there is more information available, when an event occurs necessitating a change to the reserves or when the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position has expired. The resolution of tax matters should not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although a resolution could have a material impact on the Companys Statements of Consolidated Earnings for a particular future period and on the Companys effective tax rate.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company will adopt FIN 48 as of the beginning of fiscal 2008 (i.e., as of July 1, 2007).
70
NOTE 16. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has obligations under various facilities and equipment leases and software license agreements. Total expense under these agreements was approximately $281.0 million, $245.8 million, and $204.8 million in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, with minimum commitments at June 30, 2007 as follows:
Years ending June 30, | |||
2008 | $ | 227.6 | |
2009 | 170.6 | ||
2010 | 128.6 | ||
2011 | 44.3 | ||
2012 | 28.0 | ||
Thereafter | 51.1 | ||
$ | 650.2 |
In addition to fixed rentals, certain leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company has purchase commitments of approximately $231.8 million relating to software and equipment purchases and maintenance contracts, of which $87.7 million relates to fiscal 2008, $55.2 million relates to fiscal 2009 and the remaining $88.9 million relates to fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2012.
The Company is subject to various 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.
It is not the Companys business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. However, the Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact its financial position, results of operations and 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. 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 Companys products and services. The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.

NOTE 17. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income is a measure of income that includes both net earnings and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) results from items deferred on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in stockholders equity. Other comprehensive income (loss) was $156.0 million, $(140.4) million, and $33.6 million in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The accumulated balances for each component of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

NOTE 18. STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 108
In September 2006, the Staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires registrants to use a combination of two approaches to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors: the rollover approach, which quantifies an error based on the amount of the error originating in the current year income statement, and the iron curtain approach, which quantifies an error based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year. SAB 108 permits companies to adjust for the cumulative effect of immaterial errors relating to prior years in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the current fiscal year, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. In fiscal 2007, the Company adopted SAB 108.
In the course of evaluating the provisions of SAB 108, the Company identified the following misstatements as of July 1, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 resulted in an increase to opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2006 of approximately $44.3 million, net of tax. Such errors, which management previously deemed immaterial, were related to the following:
Overstated accrued expenses of $22.1 million, net of tax, related to professional services, termination of contracts and employee benefits, which arose prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003
Overstated accounts receivable reserves of $11.2 million, net of tax, which arose prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001
Overstated accrued expenses related to certain post retirement and non-US pension plans by $8.2 million, net of tax, of which $3.3 million arose in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and the remaining arose ratably over the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL DATA BY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA
In the fiscal 2007, the Company implemented several key changes to its operations, including the spin-off of its Brokerage Services Group business on March 30, 2007. In addition, there were changes in the Companys executive management team. As a result of these changes, the Company reassessed its reportable segments under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and determined that PEO Services should be a reportable segment in addition to Employer Services and Dealer Services. Based upon similar economic characteristics and operational characteristics, the Companys strategic business units have been aggregated into the following three reportable segments: Employer Services, PEO Services and Dealer Services. The Company has restated its previously reported segment results for all periods presented to reflect this change in the Companys reportable segments. The primary components of Other are miscellaneous processing services, and corporate allocations and expenses, 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 fiscal 2006 and 2005 reportable segments revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes have been adjusted to reflect updated fiscal 2007 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 our reportable segments revenues and/or earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and results in the elimination of these adjustments/charges in consolidation. Reportable segments assets include funds held for clients, but exclude corporate cash, corporate marketable securities and goodwill.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Form 10-K are certifications of ADPs Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required by Rule 13a-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This Controls and Procedures section should be read in conjunction with the Deloitte & Touche LLP attestation report on managements assessment of ADPs internal control over financial reporting that appears on pages 77-78 of this Form 10-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Managements Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
ADP carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of ADPs management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of ADPs disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that ADPs disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by ADP in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
It is the responsibility of Automatic Data Processing, Inc.s (ADP) management to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to ADPs management and board of directors regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
ADPs internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of ADP; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of ADP are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of ADP; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of ADPs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements of ADP.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management has performed an assessment of the effectiveness of ADPs internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007 based upon criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management determined that ADPs internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2007.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on managements assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which attestation report appears on pages 77-78 of this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in ADPs internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ADPs internal control over financial reporting.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
Roseland, New Jersey
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
77
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended June 30, 2007 of the Company, and our report dated August 29, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Companys adoption of the recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158. Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), effective June 30, 2007 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, effective July 1, 2006.
