SUNGARD DATA SYSTEMS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation:

SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“SunGard” or the “Company”) was acquired on August 11, 2005 (the “Transaction”) by a consortium of private equity investment funds associated with Bain Capital Partners, The Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs & Co., Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Providence Equity Partners, Silver Lake and Texas Pacific Group (collectively, the “Sponsors”).

SunGard is a wholly owned subsidiary of SunGard Holdco LLC, which is wholly owned by SunGard Holding Corp., which is wholly owned by SunGard Capital Corp. II, which is a subsidiary of SunGard Capital Corp. All of these companies were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction and are collectively referred to as the “Holding Companies.”

SunGard has four reportable segments: Financial Systems (“FS”), Higher Education (“HE”), Public Sector (“PS”) and Availability Services (“AS”). The Company’s Software & Processing Solutions business is comprised of the FS, HE and PS segments. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements exclude the accounts of the Holding Companies.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Interim financial reporting does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141R”), which changes accounting principles for business acquisitions. SFAS 141R requires the recognition of all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction based on the acquisition-date fair value. Certain provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of consideration paid or payable in a business combination and change accounting practices for transaction costs, acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets, and tax benefits. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations and adjustments to all acquisition-related deferred tax asset and liability balances occurring after December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this standard; however, this standard could have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). The objective of SFAS 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective January 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to help investors better understand how derivative instruments and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows through enhanced disclosure requirements. SFAS 161 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect SFAS 161 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB SFAS No. 142,

 

4


Table of Contents

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). FSP 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this staff position but would not expect FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions:

The Company seeks to acquire businesses that broaden its existing product lines and service offerings by adding complementary products and service offerings and by expanding its geographic reach. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company completed two acquisitions in its FS segment. Cash paid, net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments, was $64 million. The allocations of purchase price for these acquisitions and certain others completed in 2007 are preliminary.

The following table lists the businesses the Company acquired in the first quarter of 2008:

3. Clearing Broker Assets and Liabilities:

Clearing broker assets and liabilities are comprised of the following (in millions):

 

     December 31,
2007
   March 31,
2008

Segregated customer cash and treasury bills

   $ 109    $ 146

Securities owned

     25      34

Securities borrowed

     302      343

Receivables from customers and other

     33      32
             

Clearing broker assets

   $ 469    $ 555
             

Payables to customers

   $ 114    $ 155

Securities loaned

     271      308

Customer securities sold short, not yet purchased

     16      19

Payable to brokers and dealers

     33      47
             

Clearing broker liabilities

   $ 434    $ 529
             

Segregated customer cash and treasury bills are held by the Company on behalf of customers. Clearing broker securities consist of trading and investment securities at fair market values, which are based on quoted market rates. Securities borrowed and loaned are collateralized financing transactions which are cash deposits made to or received from other broker/dealers. Receivables from and payables to customers represent amounts due or payable on cash and margin transactions.

4. Debt:

In January 2008 and February 2008, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement and a two-year interest rate swap agreement, respectively, each for a notional amount of $750 million, under which the Company is required to pay the counterparty a stream of fixed rate interest payments of 3.17% and 2.71%, respectively, and, in turn, receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR from the counterparty.

5. Income Taxes:

The Company’s reserve for unrecognized income tax benefits at March 31, 2008 is $20 million. This liability includes approximately $3 million (net of federal and state benefit) in accrued interest and penalties. Since substantially all of the liability relates to matters existing at the date of the Transaction, any reversal of reserve is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

At any time some portion of the Company’s operations are under audit. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar years 2003 through 2006. In addition, various state and foreign jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination. Based on the outcome of these audits, it is reasonably possible that certain matters may be resolved within the next 12 months and the reserve for unrecognized income tax benefits could change. The Company is unable to estimate the range of any possible adjustment at this time.

6. Fair Value Measurements:

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, established a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosure about the use of fair value measures. The Company partially adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 with no impact on its financial position or operating results. FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement 157, permits the Company to defer recognition and measurement of nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis until January 1, 2009.

The fair value hierarchy, as defined by SFAS 157, is as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Table of Contents

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2008 (in millions):

   $ 19    $ 84    $ —      $ 103
                           

Clearing broker assets and liabilities – securities owned and customer securities sold short, not yet purchased are recorded at closing exchange-quoted prices. Retained interest in accounts receivable sold is calculated using a discounted cash flow model using an applicable market interest rate and assumptions based upon collection period. Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements and currency option are based on market prices obtained from brokers. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the fair value of retained interest in accounts receivable sold decreased $2 million from $243 million at December 31, 2007 resulting from purchases, issuances and settlements.

7. Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss adjusted for other increases and decreases affecting stockholder’s equity that are excluded from the determination of net loss. The calculation of comprehensive loss follows (in millions):

Income from Operations:

Our total operating margin was 10% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, unchanged from the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Financial Systems:

The FS operating margin was 18% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The increase of $21 million is primarily related to improvement in operating leverage in services revenue and a $4 million increase in software license fees, partially offset by the impact of recently acquired businesses which tend to have lower operating margins at the outset and improve over a number of years.

Higher Education:

The HE operating margin was 19% and 22% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The operating margin decline and the decrease of $5 million are due primarily to a $4 million decrease in software license fees.

Public Sector:

The PS operating margin was 18% and 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The operating margin decline and the decrease of $3 million are due primarily to a $2 million decrease in software license fees.

Availability Services:

The AS operating margin was 26% and 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase of $14 million is primarily due to improved operating profit contribution.

Revenue:

Total revenue increased $186 million or 17% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. The increase in total revenue in 2008 is due primarily to organic revenue growth of approximately 13%, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding six percentage points to the growth rate and changes in currency exchange rates adding one percentage point overall and in each affected segment. Excluding these items, organic revenue would have increased by six percent. Organic revenue is defined as revenue for businesses owned for at least one year and further adjusted for the effects of businesses sold in the previous twelve months. When assessing our financial results, we focus on growth in organic revenue because overall revenue growth is affected by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions and dispositions.

Financial Systems:

FS revenue increased $144 million or 27% in 2008. Organic revenue growth was approximately 23% in the first quarter of 2008, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding $61 million or 12 percentage points to the growth rate, which exceeded our expectations for the quarter and the future. Excluding this business, organic revenue growth would have been 11%. Professional services revenue increased $24 million or 18%. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $30 million and $26 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Higher Education:

Revenue from HE decreased $6 million or 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007 due entirely to a decline in organic revenue. HE services revenue decreased $1 million, primarily due to revenue associated with a customer conference held in the first quarter of 2007 that will be held in the second quarter of 2008 mostly offset by an increase in professional services. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $4 million from the prior year period.

Public Sector:

Revenue from PS increased $2 million or 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007. Organic revenue growth was 1% in the first quarter of 2008. PS services revenue increased

Table of Contents

$4 million, primarily due to maintenance and support revenue resulting from software license contracts signed in the previous twelve months, partially offset by a decrease in professional services. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $2 million from the prior year period.

Availability Services:

AS revenue increased $46 million or 13% in 2008. Organic revenue increased approximately 8%. In North America, revenue grew 13% overall and 5% organically resulting from growth in managed services. Revenue in Europe grew 15%, 11% excluding the impact of currency exchange rates.

Costs and Expenses:

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 49% and 47% in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase of $118 million was due primarily to increased costs related to the higher volumes in one of our trading systems businesses and from an increase in FS employee-related expenses supporting increased services revenue.

Sales, marketing and administration expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 21% and 22% in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in sales, marketing and administration expenses of $37 million, or 15%, was due primarily to FS employee-related expenses and increased costs resulting from acquired businesses.

Because AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to measure product development expenses as a percentage of revenue from software and processing solutions. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, product development costs were 9% and 10% of revenue from software and processing solutions, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was 5% in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The $8 million increase in 2008 was due primarily to capital expenditures supporting AS and from the AS business acquired in the third quarter of 2007.

Interest expense was $148 million and $165 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the redemption of the senior floating rate notes in 2007 and from interest rate decreases.

Other expense was $21 million and $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease is attributable to $28 million of expense in the first quarter of 2007 associated with the redemption of the $400 million of senior floating rate notes due 2013, of which $19 million represented the redemption premium paid to noteholders, partially offset by a $16 million increase in the first quarter of 2008 of foreign currency translation losses primarily related to our Euro denominated term loan.

The effective income tax rates in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were 45% and -16%, respectively. The rate in the first quarter of 2007 reflects the combination of our overall projected net loss and limitations on our ability to utilize certain foreign tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At March 31, 2008, cash and equivalents were $427 million, unchanged from December 31, 2007. Cash flow provided by operations was $28 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to cash flow used in operations of $12 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The improvement in cash flow from operations is due primarily to reduced interest payments as a result of the redemption of the senior floating rate notes due 2013, including the redemption premium paid to noteholders, and decreases in interest rates on our variable rate debt, partially offset by higher incentive compensation payments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $148 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, comprised of cash paid for property and equipment and other assets and two businesses acquired in our FS segment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $111 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily related to borrowings under the revolving credit facility primarily to meet seasonally high working capital requirements related to payment of annual incentive compensation and interest. At March 31, 2008, there was $175 million outstanding under this facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements,

Table of Contents

each with a notional amount of $750 million, which expire in February 2010 (2.71%) and February 2011 (3.17%) whereby we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive LIBOR from the counterparty.

At March 31, 2008, contingent purchase price obligations that depend upon the operating performance of certain acquired businesses could total $108 million, of which $41 million could be due in the next 12 months. Of this amount, we currently expect to pay approximately $1 million. We also have outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds that total approximately $28 million.

At March 31, 2008, we have outstanding $7.63 billion in aggregate indebtedness, with additional borrowing capacity of $824 million under our revolving credit facility (after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit). Also, at March 31, 2008, we have used the full amount available under our $450 million off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization facility.

We expect our cash flows from operations, combined with availability under our revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facility, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending for a period that includes the next 12 months.

Covenant Compliance

Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in the indentures governing the senior notes due 2013 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 and in our senior secured credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indentures and our senior secured credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with our financing covenants.

The breach of covenants in our senior secured credit facilities that are tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA could result in a default under that agreement and the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under our indentures. Additionally, under our debt agreements, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:

(a) Purchase accounting adjustments include the adjustment of deferred revenue and lease reserves to fair value at the dates of the Transaction and subsequent acquisitions made by the Company and certain acquisition-related compensation expense.

 

(b) Non-cash charges include stock-based compensation accounted for under SFAS 123R and loss on the sale of assets.

Table of Contents
(c) Unusual or non-recurring charges include debt refinancing costs, severance and certain payroll taxes, and certain other expenses associated with acquisitions made by the Company.

 

(d) Acquired EBITDA net of disposed EBITDA reflects the EBITDA impact of significant businesses that were acquired or disposed of during the period as if the acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of the period.

 

(e) Other includes gains or losses related to fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates, management fees paid to the Sponsors and franchise and similar taxes reported in operating expenses, partially offset by interest charges relating to the accounts receivable securitization facility.

 

(f) The loss on sale of receivables under the long-term receivables facility is added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the indentures governing the senior notes due 2013 and the senior subordinated notes due 2015 but is not added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the senior secured credit facilities.

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 are as follows:

 

     Covenant
Requirements
   Actual
Ratios
     

Senior secured credit facilities (1)

     

Minimum Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio

   1.60x    2.50x

Maximum total debt to Adjusted EBITDA

   7.25x    5.09x

Senior notes due 2013 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 (2)

     

Minimum Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio required to incur additional debt pursuant to ratio provisions

   2.00x    2.51x

 

(1) Our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain an Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio starting at a minimum of 1.60x for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2007, which increases annually to 1.65x by the end of 2008 and 2.20x by the end of 2013. Consolidated interest expense is defined in the senior secured credit facilities as consolidated cash interest expense less cash interest income further adjusted for certain non-cash or non-recurring interest expense and the elimination of interest expense and fees associated with our accounts receivable securitization facility. Beginning with the four-quarter period ending December 31, 2007, we are required to maintain a consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 7.25x, which decreases annually to 6.75x by the end of 2008 and to 4.0x by the end of 2013. Consolidated total debt is defined in the senior secured credit facilities as total debt less certain indebtedness and further adjusted for cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet in excess of $50 million. Failure to satisfy these ratio requirements would constitute a default under the senior secured credit facilities. If our lenders failed to waive any such default, our repayment obligations under the senior secured credit facilities could be accelerated, which would also constitute a default under our indentures.

 

(2) Our ability to incur additional debt and make certain restricted payments under our indentures, subject to specified exceptions, is tied to an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of at least 2.0x, except that we may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments and certain permitted investments without regard to the ratio, such as our ability to incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $6.15 billion under credit facilities (inclusive of amounts outstanding under our senior credit facilities from time to time; as of March 31, 2008, we had $4.35 billion outstanding under our term loan facilities and available commitments of $824 million under our revolving credit facility), to acquire persons engaged in a similar business that become restricted subsidiaries and to make other investments equal to 6% of our consolidated assets. Fixed charges is defined in the indentures governing the Senior Notes due 2013 and the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 as consolidated interest expense less interest income, adjusted for acquisitions, and further adjusted for non-cash interest and the elimination of interest expense and fees associated with our accounts receivable securitization facility.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

Certain of the matters we discuss in this Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include: our high degree of leverage; general economic and market conditions; the condition of the financial services industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; the integration of acquired businesses, the performance of acquired businesses, and the prospects for future acquisitions; the effect of war, terrorism, natural disasters or other catastrophic events; the effect of disruptions to our systems and infrastructure; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; customers taking their information availability solutions in-house; the trend in information availability toward solutions utilizing more dedicated resources; the market and credit risks associated with clearing broker operations; the ability to retain and attract customers and key personnel; risks relating to the foreign countries where we transact business; the ability to obtain patent protection and avoid patent-related liabilities in the context of a rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents; and a material weakness in our internal controls. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our business or future financial results are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk:

We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, with a substantial portion having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we have borrowed to fund acquisitions.

At March 31, 2008, we had total debt of $7.63 billion, including $4.52 billion of variable rate debt. We have entered into four interest rate swap agreements which fixed the interest rates for $3.1 billion of our variable rate debt. Two of our swap agreements each have a notional value of $800 million and, effectively, fix our interest rates at 4.85% and 5.00%, respectively, and expire in February 2009 and February 2011, respectively. The remaining two swap agreements each have a notional value of $750 million and, effectively, fix our interest rates at 2.71% and 3.17%, respectively, and expire in February 2010 and February 2011, respectively. Our remaining variable rate debt of $1.42 billion is subject to changes in underlying interest rates, and, accordingly, our interest payments will fluctuate. During the period when all of our interest rate swap agreements are effective, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $14 million per year. Upon the expiration of each interest rate swap agreement in February 2009, February 2010 and February 2011, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $22 million, $30 million and $45 million per year, respectively.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures:

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report were effective.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
