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 13 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" contained in ADP's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, which
information is incorporated herein by reference. The Registrant's annual report
on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and
all amendments to those reports, Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and Annual Report to Shareholders 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 ADP's activities.

Employer Services

Employer Services offers a comprehensive range of payroll processing,
Total Pay(TM) products (ADP's payroll check and full service direct deposit
products), human resource information systems ("HR"), benefits administration,
including 401(k), COBRA and flexible spending account administration, time and
labor management, payroll and business tax filing and reporting, professional
employer organization ("PEO"), pre-employment screening and selection and
regulatory compliance management (i.e., new hire reporting and wage garnishment
processing) to approximately 450,000 employers in North America, Europe, South
America (primarily Brazil), Australia, and Asia. These services are marketed
through Employer Services' direct marketing sales forces and through indirect
sales channels such as marketing relationships with banks, accountants, and
online companies that market Employer Services' services to their customers. In
fiscal 2002, 89% of Employer Services' revenues were from North America, 9% were
from Europe, and 2% were from South America (primarily Brazil), Australia and
Asia.

Employer Services' approach to the market is to match a client's needs
with the product that will best meet expectations. As a result, in North
America, Employer Services is comprised of the following groups: Emerging
Business Services ("EBS") (primarily companies with fewer than 50 employees);
Major Accounts (primarily companies with between 50 and 999 employees); and
National Accounts Services (primarily companies with 1,000 or more employees).

EBS processes payroll for the aforementioned smaller companies and
provides them with leading solutions, including a range of value-added services
that are specifically designed for small business clients. Major Accounts and
National Account Services offer a full suite of best-of-breed employer services
solutions, including full database and other functional integration between
payroll and HR for clients ranging from mid-sized through many of the world's
largest corporations.

In many cases, ADP provides system solutions for its clients' entire
human resource, payroll and benefits needs. 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 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.

-2-


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.
In Europe, South America (primarily Brazil), Australia and Asia, Employer
Services provides full departmental outsourcing of payroll services.

ADP's Tax and Financial Service Center processes and collects federal,
state and local payroll taxes on behalf of, and from, ADP clients and remits
such taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Through service offerings such
as new hire reporting, ADP's Total Pay(TM) payroll check and full service direct
deposit products (in conjunction with major bank partners) and the collection
and payment of wage garnishments, the ADP Tax and Financial Services Center is
also responsible for the efficient movement of funds and information from
clients to third parties. The ADP Tax and Financial Services Center supports
large, mid-sized and small clients. It provides an electronic interface between
approximately 354,000 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 2002, the ADP Tax and Financial Services
Center printed and delivered approximately 42 million year-end tax statements in
North America, and moved over $580 billion in client funds to tax authorities
and its clients' employees via electronic transfer, direct deposit and ADP
Check.

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 Services provides benefits administration
across all market segments, including management of the open enrollment of
benefits, COBRA and flexible spending account administration, Section 529
College Savings Plan administrative services and 401(k) recordkeeping. In fiscal
2002, ADP grew revenues in its retirement services business 11% and is among the
ten largest providers of 401(k) retirement plans. In fiscal 2002, ADP grew
revenues in its COBRA administration services business by over 19%.

ADP TotalSource, ADP's PEO business, provides clients with
comprehensive employment administration outsourcing solutions, including
payroll, HR, benefits administration and workers' compensation insurance. ADP
TotalSource, the third largest PEO in the U.S., has 21 offices located in twelve
states and serves over 3,000 PEO clients and over 75,000 work-site employees in
all 50 states. ADP TotalSource revenues increased by 14% in fiscal 2002 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. In fiscal 2002, ADP expanded its time and
labor management business by 20%. ADP's unemployment compensation services aid
clients in managing and reducing unemployment insurance costs. In fiscal 2002,
ADP acquired Avert, Inc., a leading provider of pre-employment screening (i.e.,
employee background checking) and selection services. Prior to the acquisition,
Avert had provided these services to ADP clients through a marketing alliance
with ADP. In fiscal 2002, ADP launched its "Pay-by-Pay" Workers' Compensation
Insurance Service that allows employers using ADP's payroll services to pay for
workers' compensation insurance on a payroll by payroll basis.

During fiscal 2002, ADP continued the process of Internet-enabling
existing product offerings, while at the same time creating new products
expressly designed for the Internet. ADP's Internet offerings now include its
EasyPayNet(sm) Internet-based payroll solution for EBS clients, Pay eXpert(R)
Internet-based payroll solution for Major Accounts clients, and its Enterprise
HRMS integrated HR,

-3-


payroll and benefits solution for National Accounts Services clients, all of
which feature Internet-based employer self-service capabilities. Further, in
fiscal 2002, ADP launched its Total Choice Solutions(sm)Internet-based payroll
solution, a fully-integrated, web-native human resource and payroll management
solution hosted by ADP. For benefits administration, ADP offers Benefits
eXpert(sm), an Internet-based benefits administration and employee self-service
solution that allows mid-market companies in Major Accounts to manage more
efficiently their employees' health and welfare benefits. For large clients,
ADP Benefit Services offers an Internet-based COBRA administrative solution,
as well as employee self-service applications for open-enrollment, flexible
spending account administration and other employee-administered benefit
options.

The continued increase in the number of multi-national companies makes
payroll and human resource management services a global opportunity. In fiscal
2002, ADP increased payroll sales to multi-national employers throughout Europe
by nearly 40% over the previous fiscal year. ADP constantly seeks to further
enhance its presence in the global market through alliances, such as its
partnership with Exult, Inc. in which it offers 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 financial
services firms and public corporations 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 any financial instrument (including equities, fixed income, foreign
currency, commodities and derivatives), in any market, at any time; (ii)
full-service investor communications services including convenient electronic
delivery and Internet solutions, financial and sophisticated on-demand printing,
proxy distribution and vote processing, householding, regulatory mailings and
fulfillment services; (iii) real-time order entry and processing services for
Internet-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).

In fiscal 2002, Brokerage Services processed a significant portion of
U.S. and Canadian securities transactions, with an average daily volume of 1.4
million trades processed. In addition, ADP served the North American securities
transaction processing needs of most large global banks. In fiscal 2002,
Brokerage Services received ISO 9001:2000 certification, an international
standard for the highest quality, for its Brokerage Processing Services system.

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 2002. In fiscal 2002, Brokerage Services distributed more
than 870 million investor communications on behalf of its clients worldwide and
processed over 475 billion shares. In fiscal 2002, Brokerage Services delivered
more than 14 million investor communications via the Internet, which is 172%
more than the prior fiscal year. Brokerage Services consolidated or
electronically delivered approximately 24% of all shareholder positions, saving
clients approximately $300 million in printing and postage costs. In addition,
Brokerage Services printed over 6.4 billion document pages for the financial
services industry in fiscal 2002.

Brokerage Services serves a diverse client base, including: full-service,
discount and online brokerage firms; global banks; mutual funds; institutional
investors; specialty trading firms; clearing

-4-


firms; and publicly traded corporations. Brokerage Services provides securities
transaction processing, printing and electronic distribution of shareholder
communications and other services to clients in more than 25 countries in North
America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australia.

In fiscal 2002, Brokerage Services acquired the output services
business of IBM Global Services, significantly enhancing ADP's distributive
printing capabilities. In fiscal 2002, Brokerage Services also acquired the
Argus Group, an acquisition that supplemented ADP's current investor delivery
and fulfillment service capabilities and provided ADP with a state-of-the-art,
online content management system.

Dealer Services

Dealer Services provides integrated dealer management systems ("DMS")
and business performance solutions for motor vehicle (automobile and heavy
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. As a result of its acquisition of Digital Motorworks
Holdings, Inc. ("DMI") in fiscal 2002, Dealer Services now has the ability to
extract, transform and standardize data from varied sources to client
specifications. These DMS-independent solutions from DMI help drive improved
decision-making by automotive manufacturers, dealers and related businesses.

Dealer Services offers its dealership clients a service solution that
includes computer hardware, hardware maintenance services, licensed software,
software support, system design and network consulting services. Dealer Services
also offers such 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. Dealer Services
also designs, establishes and maintains communications networks for its
dealership 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. Dealer Services also offers an
Application Service Provider (ASP) Managed Services solution to its dealership
clients pursuant to which such clients outsource all information technology
management, computing and network infrastructure, technology decisions and
system support to Dealer Services.

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: (i)
automated vehicle repair estimating applications and total loss vehicle
valuation applications and related databases for the property and casualty and
collision repair industries; (ii) medical cost management applications and
services for the auto casualty and workers' compensation markets; (iii) auto
body shop management systems; (iv) parts locator systems; and (v) workflow
applications to streamline the end-to-end claims process and other applications,
databases and services that enhance and optimize the claims process.

Markets and Marketing Methods

All of ADP's services are offered broadly across North America and
Europe. Some employer services and brokerage services are also offered in South
America (primarily Brazil), Australia and Asia.

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 it also provides services to automobile manufacturers, body
repair shops, salvage yards, 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
client or 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. In fiscal 2002, in Employer
Services, the continued weak economic conditions resulted in slower sales, lower
client retention due primarily to bankruptcies, and fewer employees on our
clients' payrolls; in Brokerage Services, weakness in the brokerage and
financial services industry significantly reduced discretionary spending and
investments in new initiatives, and the change in the mix of retail versus
institutional transactions lowered revenue per trade; and interest rates in the
U.S. declined precipitously last year significantly impacting interest earnings
on our client funds.

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. In fiscal 2002, no
single client or group of affiliated clients accounted for revenues in excess of
2% of annual consolidated revenues.

-6-


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 Services and Dealer 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 that
facilitates the delivery of its services to clients.

Systems Development and Programming

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, ADP
invested $475 million, $514 million and $460 million, respectively, 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 40,000 persons as of June 30, 2002.

Item 2. Properties

ADP leases space for 45 of its principal processing centers. In
addition, ADP leases numerous other small processing centers and sales offices.
All of these leases, which aggregate approximately 6,100,000 square feet in
North America, Europe, South America (primarily Brazil), Asia, Australia and
South Africa, expire at various times up to the year 2018. ADP owns 31 of its
processing facilities and its corporate headquarters complex in Roseland, New
Jersey, which aggregate approximately 3,000,000 square feet. None of ADP's owned
facilities is subject to any material encumbrances. ADP believes its facilities
are currently adequate for their intended purposes and are adequately
maintained.

-7-


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Registrant is subject to various
claims and litigation. While the outcome of any litigation is inherently
unpredictable, we believe we have valid defenses with respect to the legal
matters pending against us and we believe that the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows. Among the various claims and litigation
pending against the Registrant is the following:

The Registrant and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Dealer Solutions,
L.L.C. and Dealer Solutions Holdings, Inc. ("DSI") are named as defendants in a
lawsuit filed on March 4, 1999 in the 133rd Judicial District Court of Harris
County, Texas by Universal Computer systems, Inc., Universal Computer
Consulting, Ltd., Universal Computer Services, Inc., and Dealer Computer
Services, Inc. (collectively, "UCS"), which lawsuit has since been referred by
the Court to arbitration. This lawsuit alleges trade secret violations by DSI
in the creation by DSI of the CARMan automobile dealership software product.
UCS is seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages. We believe we have
valid defenses with respect to the above matter and should prevail.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

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 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, which information is
incorporated herein by reference. As of August 31, 2002, the Registrant had
34,536 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.

On May 23, 2002, the Registrant issued 8,774 shares of its Common Stock
in respect of an earnout paid to a company in accordance with an asset purchase
agreement dated November 30, 2000 pursuant to which the Registrant acquired
substantially all of the assets of such company. The Registrant issued the
foregoing shares of Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption therefrom set forth in
Section 4(2) of such Act relating to sales by an issuer not involving a public
offering.

of the 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan are described under
"Corporate Governance" in the Proxy Statement for Registrant's 2002
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the terms of the Key Employees'
Restricted Stock Plan are described in Note 10 to the Registrant's
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Registrant's 2002
Annual Report to Shareholders and the terms of the French Employees'
Saving-Stock Option Plan are described in footnote (5) below.

-9-


(3) The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to
the terms of the Registrant's 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option
Plan adjust to equal the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
under such plan. At June 30, 2002, there were 280,500 shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the terms of the 1989
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended.
(4) Includes 768,672 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to
the Key Employees' Restricted Stock Plan.
(5) Includes 1,066,158 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to
the French Employees' Saving-Stock Option Plan. In January 1996, the Board
of Directors adopted the French Employees' Saving-Stock Option Plan (the
"French Plan"). Employees of the Registrant based in France are entitled to
purchase shares of Common Stock (such rights referred to as "Stock
Options") under the French Plan under annual offerings that commence on
January 1 of each calendar year and close on December 31 of the following
calendar year (each, an "Offering"). Each eligible employee is granted
Stock Options in each Offering that would generally entitle such employee
to purchase a whole number of shares of Common Stock equivalent in value to
10% of his or her base salary, based upon a price per share (in U.S.
dollars) determined in advance of such Offering by the French Employees'
Saving-Stock Option Plan Committee (appointed by the Board of Directors),
subject to adjustment for currency rate changes over the term of the
Offering. Participating employees pay for the exercise of the Stock Options
through monthly payroll deductions taken during the two-year period of each
Offering, and have the opportunity upon the close of the Offering to
exercise their Stock Options (or any portion thereof) and purchase the
associated number of shares of Common Stock. To the extent a participating
employee elects to purchase fewer shares of Common Stock than would be
available under his or her full allotment of Stock Options, such employee
would receive the cash remaining from the aggregate payroll deductions
after taking into account his or her purchase of shares of Common Stock.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

See "Selected Financial Data" contained in the Registrant's 2002 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
2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, which information is incorporated herein by
reference.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Approximately 30% 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 70% of the Registrant's
investment portfolio is invested in fixed-income securities, with maturities of
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 forecasted average balances in fiscal 2003 would result in
approximately a $9 million pre-tax earnings impact over the twelve-month period.
