Note 6. Short-term Financing
In October 2000, the Company entered into an unsecured
revolving credit agreement with certain financial institu-
tions, which provides for borrowings up to $2.5 billion.
Borrowings under the agreement bear interest tied to
LIBOR or prime rate depending on the number of days
the borrowings are outstanding. The agreement, which
expires in October 2001, has no borrowings to date.
The Company’s short-term financing is sometimes
obtained on a secured basis through the use of repur-
chase agreements, which are collateralized principally by
U.S. government securities. These agreements generally
have terms ranging from overnight to up to three days.
There were no outstanding repurchase agreements at
June 30, 2001 and 2000. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
2001, the Company had an average outstanding balance
of $41 million at an average interest rate of 4.3%.

clients; files annually over 18 million returns; handles all
regulatory correspondence, amendments, and penalty
and interest disputes; remits the funds to the appropriate
tax agencies; and handles other employer-related ser-
vices. In addition to fees paid by clients for these services,
the Company receives interest during the interval between
the receipt and disbursement of these funds by investing
the funds primarily in fixed-income instruments. The
