Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of
the H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule H, line 4i- schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
1.   Description of the Plan
 
    General
 
    The H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by HRB Management, Inc. (the “Company”) for its employees and the employees of certain of its affiliates. The Plan became effective on January 1, 1985 and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
 
    The Plan provides for selection of an administrative committee, a plan administrator and a trustee by the Board of Directors of the Company. The administrative committee is responsible for the general administration of the Plan and the interpretation of its provisions. The plan administrator is responsible for the reporting and disclosure requirements under ERISA. BNY Western Trust Company is the Plan’s trustee.
 
    The following description provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan.
 
    Investment Option Change
 
    Effective March 1, 2005, the UAM ICM Small Company Fund and Columbia Small Capitalization Growth Fund were replaced with the Harbor Small Cap Value Fund. Participant balances remaining in the UAM ICM Small Company Fund and the Columbia Small Capitalization Growth Fund existing on March 1, 2005 were transferred into the Harbor Small Cap Value Fund.
 
    Eligibility
 
    The timing of an employee’s eligibility for participation in the Plan depends on whether the employee is classified as a nonseasonal employee or seasonal employee. With respect to participant contributions and employer matching contributions: (a) nonseasonal employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan beginning the first day of the month following or coinciding with the date they complete 90 “Days of Service,” as such term is defined in the Plan, and (b) seasonal employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan beginning with the first participation date (January 1 or July 1) following or coinciding with the date they complete a “Year of Service,” as such term is defined in the Plan. With respect to employer profit sharing contributions, both nonseasonal and seasonal employees are eligible to participate beginning the first day of the Plan year that immediately precedes or is coincident with the date the employee completes a “Year of Service.”
 
    Contributions
 
    Participants may make pre-tax contributions from two to fifty percent of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions of up to one hundred percent of a participant’s contributions, not to exceed five percent of the participant’s compensation. All participant and matching contributions are invested at the participant’s direction. The

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
    Company may also elect to make discretionary profit sharing contributions, which would be allocated among participant accounts based on the participant’s eligible compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company contributed $36,335,045 for the matching contribution. No discretionary profit sharing contributions were made during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
    Vesting
 
    Participant and employer contributions, and earnings thereon, are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
 
    Earnings
 
    Earnings are allocated each day to participant accounts based upon the participant’s balance in each investment option as a percentage of the Plan’s balance in the respective investment option.
 
    Loans
 
    Participant loans must be at least $1,000 and are limited to the lesser of $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance in the previous 12 months or fifty percent of the participant’s vested account balance. Interest is prime plus one percent. Loans are payable over one to five years except for loans for the purchase of a residence, which may be longer.
 
    Distributions
 
    Generally, distributions may not be made to a participant, or in the case of death, a participant’s beneficiary, until administratively feasible following the earliest of the participant’s death, disability, or severance from employment. Distributions are in the form of a lump sum cash payment.
 
    Termination
 
    Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in the Plan and under ERISA.
 
2.   Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Basis of Accounting
 
    The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
 
    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
    H&R Block, Inc. Common Stock is stated at fair value as determined by the market closing price on the last business day of the plan year. Mutual funds, including those in self-directed brokerage accounts, are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. The common collective trust is stated at estimated fair value, which has been determined based on the unit value of the fund. The unit value is determined by the

5


Table of Contents

The H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
    fund’s sponsor by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation date. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
    The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
    Expenses
 
    All administrative expenses incurred by the Plan are paid by the Plan, except to the extent paid by the Company. To the extent forfeitures are not used to pay administrative expenses of the Plan, such expenses are covered using participant account balances.
 
    Payment of Benefits
 
    Distributions to participants are recorded when they have been paid.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3.   Investments
 
    The Plan’s investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:
         
    For the Year Ended  
    December 31,  
    2005  
H&R Block, Inc. common stock fund
  $ (276,830 )
Self-directed brokerage accounts
    1,098,169  
Mutual funds
    15,883,475  
 
     
 
  $ 16,704,814  
    The H&R Block, Inc. Common stock fund uses “unit” accounting. As a unitized stock fund, the Common stock Fund holds primarily H&R Block, Inc. common stock and a small percentage of cash and short-term investments, while participants hold units of the fund.

4.   Income Tax Status of the Plan
 
    The Plan received its latest determination letter dated November 11, 2003 in which the Internal Revenue Service stated the Plan is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the internal revenue code. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
 
5.   Related Party Transactions
 
    As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Plan’s investment portfolio includes an investment in the Common Stock of H&R Block, Inc., a party-in-interest to the Plan.
 
    The Plan’s recordkeeper, RSM McGladrey (“RSM”), is an affiliate of the Company and was paid $60,615 for administrative fees and reimbursements during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
    The Plan’s custodian, H&R Block Financial Advisors, Inc., is an affiliate of the Company.
 
6.   Risks and Uncertainties
 
    The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

7.   Other
 
    In 2004, the Company identified possible operational defects in the administration of the Plan while conducting an internal review of the Plan. None of the operational items identified had or will have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements. On December 21, 2004, the Company requested from the IRS a compliance letter and approval of the correction methods used to fix the operational items. The request was made under the IRS Voluntary Correction Program (VCP), which allows the Company to take corrective measures for the items identified. The Company will take such corrective measures as may be required in connection with the VCP request to maintain the Plan’s qualified tax-exempt status.
