MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
The Company achieved another record year of revenue with a 19% increase
over 1994. This compares to an 18% increase in 1994 versus 1993. Growth
of clients utilizing the basic payroll service, the tax filing and payment
feature (Taxpay) and improved interest rates on Taxpay investments were
the major factors for the revenue increase in 1995. The Company provides
payroll services for over 208,000 clients. More than 50% currently use the
Taxpay service, as compared to approximately 43% and 35% in 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Solid revenue gains were also achieved for the add-on payroll services of
Electronic Salary Deposit and Check Signing and Inserting. In addition,
revenue from the Human Resource Services Division increased more than 50%
over the previous year as more clients utilized the personnel services and
employee benefit products offered. During 1995, the Division introduced a
401(k) recordkeeping service which is now available in all Paychex
branches.
Total company revenue is expected to continue to increase throughout the
next fiscal year as a result of client base growth, modest price increase,
and the continued acceptance of ancillary services.
Operating costs in 1995 decreased to 29% of revenue, from 30% and 32% in
1994 and 1993, respectively. During the current year, the Company
continued its trend of more efficient processing and better cost controls.
As a percentage of revenue, 1995 and 1994 expenses for processing wages,
equipment maintenance charges, depreciation and delivery decreased when
compared to their respective prior years. The Company anticipates fiscal
1996 operating costs, as a percentage of revenue, to remain relatively
consistent with 1995.
Selling general and administrative expenses were 51% of revenue in 1995,
down from 53% and 54% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Decreased expenses
in the current year resulted from lower general and administrative payroll
and other costs, as a percentage of revenue. For the next fiscal year,
selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be slightly
lower as a percentage of revenue.
The effective tax rate for 1995 and 1994 was 28% as compared to 29% in
1993. The lower 1994 rate was generally due to the increase of tax exempt
interest income as a percentage of pretax income. In 1994, the 28% rate
included a 1% increase in the Federal statutory rate. This 1994 increase
was more than offset by lower State income taxes and a reduction in
expenses due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". The effective tax rate for next year is
expected to be consistent with the current year's rate and may be modestly
impacted as the level of tax exempt interest income increases.
Effective June 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities". The Company determines the appropriate
classification of investments at the time of purchase and reviews this
designation as of each balance sheet date. For the current year, the
Company classified investments as available-for-sale. As such,
investments are stated at fair market value, with unrealized gain and
losses, net of tax, included in retained earnings. The adoption of the
statement did not have a significant effect on stockholder's equity.
Also effective June 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 107, "Fair Value Disclosures About Financial
Instruments". In accordance with the Statement, the Company has included
additional disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments in
footnotes A and B of the financial statements.
On March 20, 1995, the Company announced it signed an agreement to merge
with Pay-Fone Systems, Inc., in a business combination accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Upon consummation of the merger on June 15, 1995,
the stockholders of Pay-Fone Systems, Inc. received approximately 357,000
shares of Paychex common stock. The merger will not have a significant
impact of the Company's 1996 financial position and results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $48,147,000 in 1995 as
compared to $33,950,000 and $29,298,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The increase was primarily due to record 1995 net income of $39,040,000,
representing a 39% increase over 1994.
Net cash used in investing activities increased in 1995 when compared to
1994 and 1993 as a higher level of investment purchases continued to
result from growth in the Company's cash provided by operations. Net cash
used in investing activities decreased in 1994 when compared to 1993
resulting from a lower level of investment purchases and the sale of fixed
income securities at favorable gains.
Expenditures for 1995 property and equipment acquisitions were 12,355,000,
which increased modestly from 1994 spending of $11,583,000. The majority
of the increase in 1994 over 1993 capital expenditures of $8,710,000
resulted from the purchase of laser printing equipment and office
furniture and fixtures. Capital expenditures in 1996 are expected to
range between $17,000,000 and $20,000,000. Increased capital spending in
1996 will result primarily from the installation of data processing,
networking, and telecommunication equipment in branch offices. This
spending will enhance the service provided to clients and promote
processing efficiencies.
The quarterly cash dividend payment was increased during the second
quarter of 1995 to $.06 per share. This resulted in an annual dividend
payment of $.22 per share as compared to $.15 in 1994 and $.10 in 1993.
On April 13, 1995, the Company declared a three-for-two stock split on
outstanding shares distributed on May 25, 1995.
Projected cash flows are expected to be adequate to support normal
business operations, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments.
Furthermore, the Company has $200,000,000 of unsecured bank lines of
credit available for its use. As of May 31, 1995, there were no
outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit.

the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Paychex, Inc. and subsidiary at May 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PAYCHEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MAY 31, 1995
NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activities: The Company is an integrated provider of automated
payroll, payroll tax payment and filing and human resource services for
small and medium sized businesses nationwide.
In connection with Taxpay, its automated tax payment and filing service,
the Company collects payroll taxes, files the applicable tax returns, and
pays taxes due to the appropriate taxing authorities. In addition, the
Company's Direct Deposit service collects net payroll from client accounts
and provides automatic salary deposit for employees. During the short
period between collection and payment, the Company invests these client
funds in municipal money market funds and investment grade municipal
securities without significant concentration in any one issuer. The
amount of client funds held by Paychex for the Taxpay and Direct Deposit
services fluctuates significantly during the year. At May 31, 1995 and
1994, the total Taxpay and Direct Deposit funds held by Paychex were
$470,847,000 and $340,675,000, respectively. These client funds and the
related tax and payroll obligations are neither assets nor liabilities of
the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying financial
statements. Related income earned from these investments is included in
revenue.
Principles of Consolidation: On January 1, 1994, the Company created the
Paychex Management Corp. (PMC), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to provide
treasury management services to the parent company. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Paychex, Inc. and PMC. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of money market and municipal
bond funds and other investments with a maturity of three months or less
when purchased. Amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair
value.
Investments: Investments consist of investment grade municipal securities
issued by various governmental agencies. The fair value of investments is
determined based on information received from an independent pricing
service. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are based on
cost. No individual issue comprises greater than 1% of total assets.
Effective June 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". In accordance with the
Statement, prior period financial statements have not been restated to
reflect the change in accounting principle. Investments are classified as
available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses reported as a component of stockholders' net equity, net of
applicable taxes. The adoption had no effect on net income. The impact of
adopting FAS 115 was to decrease stockholders' equity by $206,000 (net of
$140,000 of deferred income taxes) at June 1, 1994 to reflect the
unrealized loss on securities at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Also effective June 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107 (FAS 107), "Fair Value Disclosures About
Financial Instruments". This standard requires disclosure of fair value
information on financial instruments. (See Note B).
Property and Equipment: These assets are stated at cost. Major renewals and
betterments are charged to the property accounts, while replacements and
maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the
respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation is computed by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets.
Software Development and Enhancement: The Company incurs certain costs to
enhance its computer programs and to maintain them in compliance with
changes in state and federal payroll tax requirements. All such costs are
expensed as incurred. Expenditures for major software purchases are
capitalized and amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets.
Deferred Revenue: The Company defers revenue on certain services billed
in advance. The revenue is recognized upon completion of these services.
Income Taxes: Effective June 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes". The cumulative effect of the accounting change was not material
to net income for the year ended May 31, 1994.
Prior to the adoption of FAS 109, income tax expense was determined
using the deferred method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 11 (APB 11).
Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share are based on the weighted average
shares outstanding in each year. Common stock equivalents resulting from
stock options have not been included as their impact is not material.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts from prior years are reclassified to
conform to 1995 presentations.
NOTE B -- INVESTMENTS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
(FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities", the
Company classifies all securities as available-for-sale. The securities
are held at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity, net of taxes.

The Industrial Revenue Bonds require annual principal payments in
decreasing amounts ranging from $205,000 to $143,000 for the next four
years. Interest payments are required semi-annually in April and October
through 1999. Interest expense for the three year period presented
reflects interest at approximately 6.9%. Among other things, the Company
agreed to maintain certain levels of working capital, tangible net worth
and other income and debt related ratios. The amount reported on the
balance sheet approximates the fair value of the Industrial Revenue Bonds.
The bonds are secured by a $931,000 irrevocable letter of credit.
Land and building with net book value of $1,986,000 are pledged as
collateral for the letter of credit.
The Company has available unsecured lines of credit from various banks
totaling $200,000,000. No amounts were outstanding against the lines of

On April 13, 1995, the Company declared a three-for-two stock split
effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend on outstanding shares
distributed May 25, 1995 to holders of record on May 2, 1995. On July
8, 1993, the Company declared a three-for-two stock split effected in the
form of a 50% stock dividend on outstanding shares distributed August 26,
1993 to holders of record on August 2, 1993. All common share and per
share data included in the financial statements and footnotes are restated
to reflect the stock splits.
The Company reserved 1,687,500 shares of common stock for issuance under
the 1992 Stock Incentive Plan. The 1987 Stock Incentive Plan expired on
August 31, 1992; however, options to purchase 578,303 shares under the
plan remain outstanding. Incentive or non-qualified options may be
granted at prices not less than 100% of the fair market value of the
common stock at the date of the grant, unless the employee owns more than
10% of the outstanding common stock, in which case the option price for
incentive stock options only must not be less than 110% of the fair market
value.
Outstanding options are generally exercisable in cumulative annual
installments ranging from 20% to 50% and expire up to ten years after the
date of grant.
Stock options are not recognized for accounting purposes until they are
exercised, at which time the proceeds are credited to the capital
accounts. With respect to non-qualified options, the Company recognizes a
tax benefit upon exercise in an amount equal to the tax effect of the
difference between the option price and the fair market value of the
common stock. With respect to incentive stock options, tax benefits
arising from disqualifying dispositions are recognized at the time of
disposition. Tax benefits related to stock options are credited to
additional capital.
