Part I

Item 1. Business

Automatic Data Processing, Inc., incorporated in Delaware in 1961(together
with its subsidiaries "ADP" or the "Registrant"), is one of the largest
providers of computerized transaction processing, data communication, and
information services in the world. For financial information by segment and by
geographic area, see Note 12 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
contained in ADP's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, which information is
incorporated herein by reference. The following summary describes ADP's
activities.

Employer Services

Employer Services offers a comprehensive range of payroll processing, human
resource information management ("HR"), benefits administration, time and labor
management, payroll tax filing and reporting, professional employer organization
("PEO"), regulatory compliance management (i.e., new hire reporting, wage
garnishment processing and COBRA administration), unemployment compensation
management and retirement plan services to approximately 455,000 employers in
the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and the Pacific
Rim. These services are marketed through ADP's direct marketing sales forces
and through other indirect sales channels such as marketing relationships with
banks, accountants, and online companies through which ADP's services are
marketed to their customers. In fiscal 2001, North America accounted for 88% of
Employer Services' revenues, with Europe generating 11% of Employer Services'
revenues, and Latin America (primarily Brazil), Australia and the Pacific Rim
contributing the remainder.

Employer Services' approach to the market is to match a client's needs with
the product that will best meet expectations. In North America, approximately
32% of Employer Services' revenues during the past fiscal year was attributable
to its Emerging Business Services (companies with fewer than 100 employees);
approximately 35% of such revenues was attributable to Major Accounts (companies
with between 100 and 999 employees); approximately 27% of such revenues was
attributable to National Accounts Services (companies with 1,000 or more
employees); and approximately 6% of such revenues was attributable to ADP's PEO
business, called TotalSource(R).

Emerging Business Services ("EBS") processes payroll for over 370,000
clients. EBS provides these smaller companies of usually 1-99 employees with
leading solutions, including a range of value-added services that are
specifically designed for small business clients. Major Accounts (100-999
employees) offers a full suite of best-of-breed employer services solutions for
mid-sized companies, including full database and other functional integration
between payroll and HR. Many of the world's largest corporations (1,000 or more
employees) are National Accounts Services clients. In many cases, ADP provides
system solutions for its clients' entire human resource, payroll and benefits
needs and, through ADP Connection(TM), ADP can enable its largest clients to
interface their major enterprise resource planning applications with ADP's
outsourced payroll services. For those companies who choose to process these
applications in-house, ADP also delivers stand-alone services such as payroll
tax filing, check printing and distribution, and year-end statements (i.e.,
W-2's). Other large clients rely on ADP to design and deliver their own
customized human resource information systems and benefits outsourcing
solutions.
In North America, 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 and employees.
ADP's tax filing service processes federal, state and local payroll taxes on
behalf of ADP clients and remit such taxes to the appropriate taxing
authorities. Through service offerings such as new hire reporting, ADP
Check/full service direct deposit (in conjunction with major bank partners) and
wage garnishment payment, the ADP Tax and Financial Services Center is also
responsible for the efficient movement of funds and information to third
parties. In Europe, Latin America, Australia and the Pacific Rim, Employer
Services provides full departmental outsourcing of payroll services.

ADP's HR services, operating in conjunction with a client's payroll
database, provide comprehensive HR recordkeeping services, including benefits
administration and outsourcing, applicant tracking, employee history and
position control. ADP's benefits administration services, including management
of the open enrollment of benefits, COBRA and Flexible Spending Account
administration and 401(k) recordkeeping, provide benefits administration across
all market segments. In fiscal 2001, ADP became the tenth largest provider of
401(k) retirement plans. In fiscal 2001, ADP grew its COBRA administration
services business over 30% and introduced a new Web-based version of its
existing COBRA product.

The ADP Tax and Financial Services Center supports large, mid-sized and
small clients. It provides an electronic interface between approximately 350,000
ADP clients in the United States and Canada and about 2,000 federal, state and
local tax agencies, from the Internal Revenue Service to local town governments.
In fiscal 2001, the ADP Tax and Financial Services Center printed and delivered
over 43 million year-end tax statements in North America, and moved over $500
billion in client funds to tax authorities and its clients' employees via
electronic transfer, direct deposit and ADP Check.

TotalSource provides clients with comprehensive employment administration
outsourcing solutions, including payroll, HR, benefits administration and
workers' compensation insurance. TotalSource, the second largest PEO in the
U.S., has 18 offices located in nine states and serves over 3,000 PEO clients
and approximately 70,000 work-site employees in 50 states. TotalSource revenues
increased 12% in fiscal 2001 over the previous fiscal year.

ADP complements its payroll and HR services with additional employer
services that include products such as time and labor management and
unemployment compensation management. This fiscal year, ADP expanded its time
and labor management business by over 20%. ADP's unemployment compensation
services aid clients in managing and reducing unemployment insurance costs.

ADP is in the process of Internet-enabling existing product offerings,
while at the same time creating new products expressly designed for the
Internet. This year, for example, ADP delivered the ADP EasyPayNet(sm) Web-based
payroll service to over 4,000 EBS clients, launched its Internet-based
PayeXpert(R) solution for Major Accounts clients, and introduced the Enterprise
HRMS integrated HR, payroll and benefits solution for National Accounts Services
clients that feature Internet-based employer self-service capabilities. Further,
in fiscal 2001, ADP launched Benefits eXpert(sm), an Internet-based benefits
administration and employee self-service solution that allows mid-market
companies to manage more efficiently their employees' health and welfare
benefits.

3
The continued increase in multi-national companies makes payroll and human
resource management services a global opportunity. In fiscal 2001, ADP
increased payroll sales to multi-national employers throughout Europe nearly 50%
over the previous fiscal year. ADP constantly seeks to further enhance its
presence in the global market, and in fiscal 2001 initiated a new partnership
with Exult, Inc. to expand its services for large companies to the "Global 500"
market using a new technology outsourcing model.

Brokerage Services

Brokerage Services provides transaction processing systems, desktop
productivity applications and investor communication services to the financial
services industry worldwide. ADP's products and services include: (i) global
order entry, trade processing and settlement systems including automated
inquiry, reporting and record keeping services for trading virtually all
financial instruments such as equities, fixed income, foreign currency,
commodities and derivatives; (ii) full-service investor communications services
including state-of-the-art electronic delivery and Internet solutions, financial
printing, proxy distribution and processing, regulatory mailings and fulfillment
services; (iii) real-time order entry and processing services for Web-based
brokerage firms; (iv) automated, browser-based, desktop productivity tools for
financial consultants, institutional investors and corporate secretaries; and
(v) integrated delivery of multiple products and services through ADP's Global
Processing Solution(sm). The Global Processing Solution is ADP's comprehensive
system for handling transactions in any financial instrument, in any market, at
any time.

ADP serves a diverse client base, including full-service, discount and
online brokerage firms, global banks; mutual funds; institutional investors;
specialty trading firms; clearing firms; as well as publicly traded
corporations. Brokerage Services provides securities transaction processing,
printing and electronic distribution of shareholder communications and other
services to clients in North America, Europe, Pacific Rim, Latin America and
Australia.

In fiscal 2001, ADP processed a significant portion of U.S. and
Canadian securities transactions, with average daily volumes of more than 1.3
million trades per day. In addition, ADP served the North American securities
transaction processing needs of most large global banks. In fiscal 2001, ADP
converted Lehman Brothers to Brokerage Processing Services, completing the first
phase of its implementation to ADP's Global Processing Solution. Further, ADP
signed agreements to provide the Global Processing Solution to Bank of America
and several other large institutions.

Brokerage Services also provides computerized proxy vote tabulation and
shareholder communication, distribution and fulfillment services, including
Internet-enabled products and services. ADP served approximately 14,000 publicly
traded companies and 450 mutual funds on behalf of more than 800 brokerage firms
and banks in fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2001, ADP distributed more than 780 million
shareholder communications on behalf of its clients worldwide, nearly 50% more
than fiscal 1999. This year, ADP delivered 5.3 million investor communications
via the Internet, which is 132% more than the prior fiscal year.

Internationally, Brokerage Services integrates the delivery of multiple
products and services through its Global Processing Solution. ADP now serves
brokerage and banking clients in more than 25 countries, providing global trade
processing and settlement systems for international securities in multiple
currencies. In fiscal 2001, ADP, through its subsidiary Wilco International
Limited, doubled its global product development and outsourced client services
operations in India, expanded its global trade

4
processing and settlement services for international securities to Australia
and extended its reach into the global retail securities markets in the U.K.

Dealer Services

Dealer Services provides integrated dealer management systems ("DMS") and
business performance solutions for motor vehicle (automobile and truck) dealers
and their manufacturers worldwide. More than 16,000 automobile and truck dealers
throughout North America and Europe and more than 30 vehicle manufacturers use
ADP's DMS, networking solutions, data integration, consulting and/or marketing
services.

ADP offers its dealership clients a service solution that includes computer
hardware, hardware maintenance services, licensed software, software support,
system design and network consulting services. ADP also offers its dealership
clients "front-end" dealership sales process and business development training
services, consulting services, software products and customer relationship
management solutions. Clients use an ADP DMS to manage business activities such
as accounting, inventory, factory communications, scheduling, vehicle financing,
insurance, sales and service. ADP designs, establishes and maintains
communications networks for its clients that allow interactive communications
among multiple site locations (for larger dealers) 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 decisioning, vehicle repair
estimating, and obtaining vehicle registration and lien holder information.

Claims Services

Claims Services offers a broad line of automated information tools to
property and casualty insurance companies, claims adjusters, repair shops and
auto parts recycling facilities. These tools help insurers to improve their
performance by accelerating the claims review and settlement process and
streamlining workflow. The products and services include the following: vehicle
repair estimating applications and total loss vehicle valuation applications and
related databases for the property and casualty, and collision repair
industries; medical cost management applications and services for the auto
casualty and workers' compensation markets; auto body shop management systems;
and parts locator systems.

Markets and Marketing Methods

All of ADP's services are sold broadly across the United States, Canada
and Europe. Some employer services and brokerage services are also offered in
Latin America (primarily Brazil), Australia and the Pacific Rim.

None of ADP's major business groups have a single homogenous client base
or market. For example, while Brokerage Services primarily serves the retail
brokerage market, it also serves banks, commodity dealers, the institutional
brokerage market and individual non-brokerage corporations. Dealer Services
primarily serves automobile dealers, but also serves truck and agricultural
equipment dealers, auto repair shops, used car lots, state departments of motor
vehicles and manufacturers of automobiles, trucks and agricultural equipment.
Claims Services has many clients who are insurance companies, but also provides
services to automobile manufacturers, body repair shops, salvage yards,

5
distributors of new and used automobile parts and other non-insurance clients.
Employer Services has 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, brokerage clients and insurance
clients. While concentrations of clients exist, no one business group is
material to ADP's overall revenues.

None of ADP's businesses are overly sensitive to price changes. Economic
conditions among selected clients and groups of clients may and do have a
temporary impact on demand for ADP's services.

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 computing services industry is 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 computerized transaction
processing, data communication and information services in the world.

ADP's competitors include other independent computing services companies,
divisions of diversified enterprises and banks. Another competitive factor in
the computing services industry is the in-house computing function, whereby a
company installs and operates its own computing systems.

Competition in the computing services industry 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 ADP's competitive position in the computing services industry.
No one competitor or group of competitors is dominant in the computing services
industry.

Clients and Client Contracts

ADP provides its services to over 500,000 clients. No single client
accounts for revenues in excess of 2% of annual consolidated revenues.

ADP has no material "backlog" because the period between the time a client
agrees to use ADP's services and the time the service begins is generally very
short and because no sale is considered firm until it is installed and begins
producing revenue.

ADP's average client retention is more than 8 years in Employer Services
and is 10 or more years in Brokerage, Dealer and Claims Services, and does not
vary significantly from period to period.

ADP's 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.

ADP offers a service warranty to its clients that if any errors or
omissions occur in its service offerings, ADP will correct them as soon as
possible. In addition, ADP provides, either directly or through third parties,
maintenance and support for the ADP provided equipment and software which
facilitates the delivery of its services to clients.

6
Systems Development and Programming

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, ADP expensed
$514 million, $460 million and $412 million, respectively, on investments in
systems development and programming, migration to new computing technologies
and the development of new products.

Product Development

ADP continually upgrades, enhances and expands its existing products and
services. Generally, no new product or service has a significant effect on
ADP's revenues or negatively impacts its existing products and services, and
ADP's products and services have a significant remaining life cycle.

Licenses

ADP is the licensee under a number of agreements for computer programs
and databases. ADP's business is not dependent upon a single license or group of
licenses. Third-party licenses, patents, trademarks and franchises are not
material to ADP's business as a whole.

Number of Employees

ADP employed approximately 41,000 persons as of June 30, 2001.

Item 2. Properties

ADP leases space for 48 of its principal processing centers. In addition,
ADP leases numerous other small processing centers and sales offices. All of
these leases, which aggregate approximately 6,200,000 square feet in the United
States, Canada, Europe, Latin America (primarily Brazil), Pacific Rim,
Australia and South Africa, expire at various times up to the year 2016. ADP
owns 31 of its processing facilities and its corporate headquarters complex in
Roseland, New Jersey, which aggregate approximately 3,000,000 square feet.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters

See "Market Price, Dividend Data and Other" contained in the Registrant's
2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, which information is incorporated herein by
reference. As of August 31, 2001, the Registrant had 33,905 registered holders
of its Common Stock, par value $.10 per share. The Registrant's Common Stock is
traded on the New York, Chicago and Pacific Stock Exchanges.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

See "Selected Financial Data" contained in the Registrant's 2001 Annual
Report to Shareholders, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis" contained in the Registrant's
2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, which information is incorporated herein by
reference.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Approximately 40% of the Registrant's overall investment portfolio is
invested in overnight interest-bearing instruments, which are therefore impacted
immediately by changes in interest rates. The other 60% of the Registrant's
investment portfolio is invested in fixed-income securities, with maturities up
to ten years, which are also subject to interest rate risk, including
reinvestment risk. The Registrant has historically had the ability to hold these
investments until maturity, and therefore this has not had an adverse impact on
income or cash flows.

The earnings impact of future rate changes is not precisely predictable
because many factors influence the return on the Registrant's portfolio. These
factors include, among others, the overall portfolio mix between short-term and
long-term investments. The mix varies during the year and is impacted by daily
interest rate changes. A hypothetical change in interest rates of 25 basis
points applied to the June 30, 2001 balances would result in a $12 million
pre-tax earnings impact over the following twelve-month period.
