Abstract:NEW YORK (Standard&Poor's) May 2, 2008--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today that it placed its ratings on H&R Block Inc., including its 'BBB-' long-term counterparty credit rating, on CreditWatch with positive implications. This rating action also applies to Block Financial LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary. "The CreditWatch listing is based on the momentum H&R Block has achieved by successfully exiting the subprime mortgage business. Changes in corporate governance have resulted in renewed management focus on H&R Block's core tax operations. The company's liquidity position has also been improved; the reduction in short-term obligations has reduced leverage and improved the term structure of the company's liabilities," said Standard&Poor's credit analyst Rian M. Pressman, CFA. On May
