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 Partners and Texas Pacific Group (collectively, the “Sponsors”). The Transaction was accomplished through the merger of Solar Capital Corp. into SunGard with SunGard being the surviving company.

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 four of these companies were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction and are collectively referred to as the “Holding Companies.”

Although SunGard continued as the same legal entity after the Transaction, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are presented for two periods: Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the period preceding the Transaction and the period succeeding the Transaction, respectively. The Company refers to the operations of SunGard and subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor periods.

SunGard has three segments: Financial Systems (“FS”), Higher Education and Public Sector Systems (“HEPS”) and Availability Services (“AS”). The Company’s Software & Processing Solutions business is comprised of the FS and HEPS 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 Successor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. 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, 2006.

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a “more likely than not” threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on other topics related to accounting for income tax assets and liabilities, interest and penalties associated with tax positions and income taxes in interim periods as well as income tax disclosures. This Interpretation is effective as of January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating FIN 48 and the related impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP. SFAS 157 is effective as of January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 157 and the related impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions and Dispositions:

Acquisition of SunGard

As discussed in Note 1, the Transaction was completed on August 11, 2005 and was financed by a combination of borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities, the issuance of senior notes due 2013 and senior subordinated notes due 2015, the funding under the Company’s receivables facilities, and the equity investment of the Sponsors, co-investors and management.

The purchase price, including transaction costs that have been allocated as debt issuance costs or included in the overall purchase price, was approximately $11.73 billion. Under business combination accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the Company’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of August 11, 2005. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price for property and equipment, intangible assets and deferred income taxes was based upon valuation data and our estimates and assumptions.

The estimated amortization expense for each of the years 2006 to 2010 has been updated primarily to reflect changes in the purchase price allocation for the Transaction. Based on amounts recorded at September 30, 2006, total estimated amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 to 2010 follows (in millions):

 

2006

Acquisitions by the Company

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 nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company completed three acquisitions in its FS segment. Cash paid, net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments, was $24 million.

The following table lists the businesses the Company acquired since January 1, 2006:

 

Acquired Company/Business

Dataware Solutions, Inc.    3/14/2006    Employee compliance solutions for financial institutions.

System Access Limited    10/2/2006    Universal banking solutions for retail and wholesale banking based in Singapore.

During October 2006, the Company completed 4 acquisitions in its FS segment for aggregate cash paid of approximately $96 million, of which approximately $75 million was spent on the acquisition of System Access Ltd.

3. Stock-Based Compensation:

Successor

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion Number 25 (“APB 25”) and requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options over the employee requisite service period. The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of the date of closing the Transaction using the modified prospective method, which requires companies to record stock compensation expense for all unvested and new awards as of the adoption date. Accordingly, prior period amounts presented herein have not been restated. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company recorded as a component of sales, marketing and administration expense non-cash stock compensation of $11 million, $27 million and $8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and for the period from August 11, 2005 through September 30, 2005, respectively.

Predecessor

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, the Company applied APB 25 in accounting for its stock option and award plans and the pro forma disclosure requirements of SFAS Number 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Accordingly, the Company recorded in merger costs a non-cash charge for stock compensation of approximately $60 million for the period from January 1, 2005 through August 10, 2005 as a result of the acceleration of vesting of all options and restricted stock in connection with the Transaction (see Note 1). Had the Company adopted the full provisions of SFAS 123, additional stock compensation expense of $102 million and $135 million, each net of tax, would have been recorded during the periods from July 1, 2005 through August 10, 2005 and January 1, 2005 through August 10, 2005, respectively, and the resulting pro forma net (loss) income would have been $(145) million and $11 million.

5. Debt and Derivative Instruments:

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of two technical interpretations issued by the FASB Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) in June 2005 (commonly known as DIG Issues B38 and B39). These interpretations outline circumstances in which a put or call option embedded in debt instruments need to be separated from the debt instrument and separately valued. As of September 30, 2006, the fair value of the put option in the Company’s senior notes due 2013 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 was determined to be immaterial.

In February 2006, the Company entered into its second interest rate swap for a notional amount of $800 million. The term of the swap agreement is five years and the Company is required to pay a stream of fixed interest payments of 5.0% and, in turn, receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR (5.5% at September 30, 2006). This swap increased the hedged portion of the Company’s $4.5 billion floating rate debt to $1.6 billion. Both interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As of September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a cumulative unrealized gain of $1 million in Other Comprehensive Income related to the change in the market value on the swaps, which may be recognized in the statement of operations if certain terms of the senior secured credit facility change, if the loan is extinguished or if the swap agreements are terminated prior to maturity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis supplements the management’s discussion and analysis in the Successor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and presumes that readers have read or have access to the discussion and analysis in our Annual Report. The following discussion and analysis includes historical and certain forward-looking information that should be read together with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, related footnotes, and the discussion below of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause future operating results to differ materially from historical results or from the expected results indicated by forward-looking statements.

Although SunGard Data Systems Inc. continued as the same legal entity after the Transaction, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholder’s equity are presented for two periods: Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the period preceding the Transaction and the period succeeding the Transaction, respectively. The Company refers to the operations of SunGard and subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor periods. We have prepared our discussion of the results of operations by comparing the mathematical combination of the Successor and Predecessor periods in the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine- and three-month periods ended September 30, 2006. Although this presentation does not comply with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe that it provides a meaningful method of comparison. The combined operating results have not been prepared as pro forma results under applicable regulations and may not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent the Transaction and may not be predictive of future results of operations.

Results of Operations:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared To Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain amounts included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, the relative percentage that those amounts represent to consolidated revenue (unless otherwise indicated), and the percentage change in those amounts from period to period.

(1) As described above, our combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 represent the sum of the amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2005 through August 10, 2005 and for the Successor period from August 11, 2005 through September 30, 2005. This combination does not comply with GAAP or with the rules for pro forma presentation, but is presented because we believe it enables a meaningful comparison of our results.
(2) Percent of revenue is calculated as a percent of revenue from FS, HEPS, Software & Processing Solutions, and AS, respectively.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain supplemental revenue data, the relative percentage that those amounts represent to total revenue and the percentage change in those amounts from period to period.

(1) As described above, our combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 represent the sum of the amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2005 through August 10, 2005 and for the Successor period from August 11, 2005 through September 30, 2005. This combination does not comply with GAAP or with the rules for pro forma presentation, but is presented because we believe it enables a meaningful comparison of our results.

Income from Operations:

Our total operating margin was 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due primarily to $143 million of incremental amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets resulting from the Transaction (“incremental amortization”), a $19 million increase in non-cash stock compensation cost and a $10 million decrease in software license fees, partially offset by a $134 million reduction in merger costs, a $12 million increase in revenue related to purchase accounting adjustments in 2005 recorded in connection with the Transaction (the “deferred revenue adjustment”) and an $11 million one-time charge related to the relocation of

an AS facility in the prior year period. The negative impact on the total operating margin of the incremental amortization, the increase in stock compensation cost and the decrease in software license fees were 460, 60 and 30 basis points, respectively, while the reduction in merger costs, the 2005 deferred revenue adjustment and the one-time facility relocation cost improved the operating margin by 460, 40 and 40 basis points, respectively (one hundred basis points equals one percentage point).

Financial Systems:

The FS operating margin was 10% and 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The lower margin in 2006 was due primarily to $73 million of incremental amortization (490 basis points) and a $10 million decrease in software license fees (60 basis points).

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

The HEPS operating margin was 14% and 16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The lower margin in 2006 was due primarily to $11 million of incremental amortization (170 basis points) and a $2 million decrease in software license fees (30 basis points), partially offset by the effect of the 2005 deferred revenue adjustment of $3 million (50 basis points).

Availability Services:

The AS operating margin was 20% and 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The lower margin in 2006 was due primarily to $59 million of incremental amortization (590 basis points). The operating margin in 2005 was reduced by 120 basis points because of an $11 million one-time charge related to the relocation of an AS facility and the effect of $6 million by the 2005 deferred revenue adjustment (40 basis points).

Revenue:

Total revenue increased $216 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. The increase in total revenue in 2006 is due primarily to internal revenue growth. Internal revenue growth was approximately 5% and 6% for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Internal 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 and the $12 million deferred revenue adjustment in 2005.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, services revenue increased to $2,842 million from $2,617 million during the first nine months of 2005. Services revenue represented approximately 91% and 90% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $225 million increase was due to internal revenue growth of $164 million across all segments and acquired revenue in FS and HEPS.

Professional services revenue was $542 million and $469 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase was due primarily to internal revenue growth in FS and HEPS.

Revenue from license and resale fees was $214 million and $221 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and included software license revenue of $155 million and $164 million, respectively. The decrease in software license revenue was mostly from FS, with a smaller decline in HEPS, and primarily reflects the impact of $17 million of software license backlog at December 31, 2004 which was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2005.

Financial Systems:

FS revenue increased $108 million in 2006. Internal revenue growth was 5% during each of the first nine months of 2006 and 2005. FS services revenue increased $122 million and FS license and resale fees decreased $10 million. The increase in services revenue is due primarily to internal revenue growth, and, to a lesser degree, to acquired businesses, partially offset by the deferred revenue adjustment of $3 million in the prior year period. Software license fees were $103 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $10 million. The decrease in software license fees was across the segment and primarily reflects the impact of $9 million of software license backlog at December 31, 2004 which was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2005, partially offset by a deferred revenue adjustment of $1 million in the prior year period.

Table of Contents

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

Revenue from HEPS increased $63 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005 due to both internal revenue growth and a business acquired in the first quarter of 2005, partially offset by a $3 million deferred revenue adjustment in the prior year period. HEPS services revenue increased $54 million and license and resale fees increased $9 million. Software license fees were $49 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $3 million, which primarily reflects the impact of $8 million of software license backlog at December 31, 2004 which was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2005. Resale fees increased $12 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to a business acquired in the first quarter of 2005. HEPS internal revenue growth was approximately 6% and 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Availability Services:

AS revenue increased $45 million in 2006 or 5%. AS internal revenue increased approximately 5% in 2006, reflecting the effect of the disposition of a U.K.-based value-added reseller. This compares to internal revenue growth of approximately 4% during the first nine months of 2005.

Costs and Expenses:

The increase of $210 million in total costs and expenses was due primarily to increased expenses across all segments, incremental amortization of $143 million and to acquired businesses, offset by a $134 million decrease in merger costs. Costs and expenses in 2005 includes the impact of a one-time charge of $11 million related to the relocation of a leased AS facility in North Bergen, New Jersey.

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue were consistent at 47% in each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Cost of sales and direct operating expenses increased $94 million due primarily to increases across all segments and the increase from acquired businesses, offset in part by a one-time charge of $11 million related to the relocation of an AS facility in 2005.

Sales, marketing and administration expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue to 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 20% in 2005. The increase in sales, marketing and administration expenses of $86 million was due primarily to increases in all segments, mostly FS, to the increase in non-cash stock compensation of $19 million and to 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 each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, product development costs were 9% and 10%, respectively, of revenue from Software and Processing Solutions.

Depreciation and amortization was consistent as a percentage of total revenue at 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was 9% of total revenue during the first nine months of 2006, compared to 5% in 2005. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $162 million, of which $143 million is incremental amortization resulting from the Transaction with the balance from recent acquisitions.

Merger and other costs decreased $134 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 included costs associated with the Transaction.

Interest income was $10 million and $11 million, respectively, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Interest expense was $483 million and $105 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase was due to the debt incurred in connection with the Transaction and includes amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts of $19 million.

Other expense was $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $3 million for the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to losses incurred related to our accounts receivable securitization program.

Table of Contents

Income from Operations:

Our total operating margin was 13% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, due primarily to a decrease of $119 million in merger costs, a $12 million deferred revenue adjustment in the prior year period and a decrease of $9 million in software license fees, partially offset by $27 million of incremental amortization and $3 million of increased stock compensation cost. The impact on the total operating margin of the decrease in merger costs, the deferred revenue adjustment and the decrease in license fees was 1,240, 120 and 70 basis points, respectively, while the incremental amortization and the stock compensation cost reduced the operating margin by 250 and 30 basis points, respectively.

Financial Systems:

The FS operating margin was 12% and 11% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The higher margin in 2006 was due primarily to improved performance of the businesses in the segment, a $6 million increase in license fees (110 basis points) and the $3 million effect of the 2005 deferred revenue adjustment (60 basis points), partially offset by $11 million of incremental amortization (220 basis points).

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

The HEPS operating margin was 16% and 13% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The higher margin in 2006 was due primarily to strong performance in the quarter across all businesses in the segment and the net effect of 160 basis points related to the 2005 deferred revenue adjustment, a $2 million increase in license fees and $2 million of incremental amortization.

Availability Services:

The AS operating margin was 22% and 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The lower margin in 2006 was due primarily to $14 million of incremental amortization (400 basis points).

Revenue:

Total revenue increased $103 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. The increase in total revenue in 2006 is primarily due to internal revenue growth, which was approximately 8%, compared to a 4% increase in the third quarter of 2005.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, services revenue increased to $963 million from $880 million in the third quarter of 2005. Services revenue represented approximately 90% and 91% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $83 million increase was due primarily to increases in internal revenue in all three segments.

Professional services revenue was $189 million and $160 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Revenue from license and resale fees was $81 million and $59 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and included software license revenue of $53 million and $42 million, respectively. The increase in software license revenue was primarily due to the internal revenue growth and the impact of acquired FS businesses.

Financial Systems:

FS revenue increased $58 million in 2006. FS services revenue increased $52 million, due primarily to internal revenue growth, $9 million from acquired businesses and $3 million as a result of the deferred revenue adjustment in the prior year period. License and resale fees increased $7 million to $40 million. Internal revenue growth was 9% in the third quarter of 2006 compared to 3% in the third quarter of 2005. FS professional services revenue increased $23 million from both internal revenue growth and from acquired businesses.

Table of Contents

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

Revenue from HEPS increased $28 million, $3 million of which is related to the deferred revenue adjustment in the prior year period. The balance of the increase is due to 12% internal revenue growth in the third quarter of 2006. Internal revenue grew 5% in the third quarter of 2005.

Availability Services:

AS revenue increased $17 million in 2006 or 5%. AS internal revenue increased approximately 4% in 2006, reflecting the effect of the disposition of a U.K.-based value-added reseller and the $6 million deferred revenue adjustment in the prior year period. This compares to internal revenue growth of approximately 6% in the third quarter of 2005.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased to 87% from 99% in 2005. This decrease is due primarily to the decrease in merger and other costs of $119 million, partially offset by increased expenses across all segments, incremental amortization of $27 million, incremental stock compensation expense of $3 million and to acquired businesses.

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 46% and 47% during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cost of sales and direct operating expenses increased $41 million due primarily to increased expenses across all segments and from acquired businesses.

Sales, marketing and administration expenses as a percentage of total revenue remained unchanged at 20% for each of the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The increase in sales, marketing and administration expenses of $22 million was due primarily to internal growth of costs in FS to support the increase in business activity, to acquired businesses and to non-cash stock compensation of $3 million.

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 September 30, 2006 and 2005, product development costs were 9% and 10%, respectively, of revenue from software and processing solutions.

Depreciation and amortization remained unchanged as a percentage of total revenue at 6% for each of the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was 9% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2006, compared to 7% in 2005. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $33 million, of which $27 million is incremental amortization with the balance from acquired businesses.

Merger and other costs decreased $119 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005, which included costs associated with the Transaction.

Interest income was $4 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest expense was $165 million and $91 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase was due to the debt incurred in connection with the Transaction, and includes amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts of $2 million.

Provision for income taxes was $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a $15 million benefit in the prior year period due to the income tax benefit resulting from the loss before income taxes being offset by a limitation on the use of foreign tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At September 30, 2006, cash and equivalents were $268 million, a decrease of $49 million from December 31, 2005. Cash flow from operations was $214 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to cash flow from operations of $828 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in cash flow from operations is due primarily to the increased interest payments in 2006 related to the debt incurred as a result of the Transaction and from the 2005 impact of the sale of accounts receivable under our long-term receivables facility.

Net cash used in investing activities was $238 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, comprised primarily of cash paid for property and equipment and other assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we spent $24 million (net of cash acquired) on three acquisitions and received approximately $9 million of cash proceeds from the sale of one business. Net cash used in investing activities was $12.25 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we spent $11.62 billion in connection with the Transaction, $434 million (net of cash acquired) on eight acquisitions and $206 million for property and equipment and other assets.

Net cash used in financing activities was $40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily related to repayment of borrowings. At September 30, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.05 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, of which $11.11 billion was Transaction-related financing activities, including $7.33 billion of debt and $3.45 billion of equity contributions by SunGard Holdco LLC, the Company’s parent.

At September 30, 2006, contingent purchase price obligations that depends upon the operating performance of two acquired businesses total $41 million, which we currently do not expect to pay. We also have outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds that total approximately $42 million.

As a result of the Transaction, we are highly leveraged and our debt service requirements are significant. At September 30, 2006, we have outstanding $7.4 billion in aggregate indebtedness, with additional borrowing capacity of $977 million under our revolving credit facility (after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit). Also, at September 30, 2006, $371 million was outstanding under our $450 million off-balance sheet receivables securitization facility.

We expect our cash flows from operations, combined with availability under our revolving credit facility and receivables 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.

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:

 

    

Covenant

Requirements

Ratios

Senior secured credit facilities (1)

     

Minimum Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio

   1.40x    2.02x

Maximum total debt to Adjusted EBITDA

   8.25x    6.11x

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

  

2.06x


(1) Our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain an Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio starting at a minimum of 1.40x for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2005 and stepping up over time to 1.50x by the end of 2006 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 nonrecurring interest expense and the elimination of interest expense and fees associated with our receivables facility. Beginning with the four-quarter period ending March 31, 2006, we are also required to maintain a consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio starting at a maximum of 8.25x and stepping down over time to 7.75x by the end of 2006 and 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 fail 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 is tied to an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio (“fixed charges coverage ratio”) of at least 2.00x, except that we may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments in certain permitted investments without regard to the ratio, such as our ability to incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.75 billion under credit facilities (inclusive of amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities from time to time; as of September 30, 2006, we have $3.96 billion outstanding under our term loan facilities and available commitments of $977 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 expense and the elimination of interest expense and fees associated with our receivables 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; and 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. 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 September 30, 2006, we had total debt of $7.4 billion, including $4.4 billion of variable rate debt. We have entered into two interest rate swap agreements which fixed the interest rates for $1.6 billion of our variable rate debt. Our two swap agreements, each with a notional value of $800 million, effectively fix our interest rates at 4.85% and 5.00% and expire in February 2009 and February 2011, respectively. Our remaining variable rate debt of $2.8 billion is subject to market rate risk, as our interest payments will fluctuate as the underlying interest rates change as a result of market changes. During the period when both of our interest rate swap agreements are effective, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $28 million per year. Upon the expiration of each interest rate swap agreement in February 2009 and February 2011, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $36 million and $44 million per year, respectively.

Item 4. 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.
