Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the matters we discuss in this registration statement on Form 10 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. We describe some of the factors that we believe could affect our results in ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS. Such factors include, among others:
• | 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. |
There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements and projections attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this registration statement and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this registration statement. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any written or oral forward-looking statements, made by us or on our behalf including any of the projections presented herein, to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
SunGard Capital Corp. (“SCC”) and its subsidiary SunGard Capital Corp. II (“SCCII” and when referred to together with SCC, the “Parent Companies”) are filing this registration statement on Form 10 pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) because there are more than 500 holders of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granting the conditional right to receive units (“Units”) consisting of 1.3 shares of Class A common stock of SCC, par value $0.001 per share, 0.1444 shares of Class L common stock of SCC, par value $0.001 per share, and 0.05 shares of preferred stock of SCCII (the “Shares” and when referred to together with RSUs, “Equity Securities”). The Equity Securities are subject to significant restrictions on transfer as described herein. See “Description of Registrants’ Securities to be Registered.” Because of such restrictions, there is no market for the Equity Securities and none is expected to develop.
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
Registrants
This registration statement is that of SCC and its subsidiary SCCII. Currently, the principal asset of SCC is 100% of the common stock of SCCII, whose principal asset is the equity of its wholly owned subsidiary SunGard Holding Corp., whose principal asset is the equity of its wholly owned subsidiary SunGard Holdco LLC, whose principal asset is the equity of its wholly owned subsidiary SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“SunGard”), a Delaware company organized in 1982, which is an operating company. SunGard was acquired on August 11, 2005 by a consortium of private equity investment funds (“Sponsors”) associated with Bain Capital Partners, The Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs & Co., Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Providence Equity Partners, Silver Lake and TPG (the “Transaction”). The Parent Companies, together with their consolidated subsidiaries, are referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.”
We are one of the world’s leading software and IT services companies. We provide software and processing solutions to institutions throughout the financial services industry, higher education and the public sector. We also provide disaster recovery services, managed services, information availability consulting services and business continuity management software. We operate our business in four segments:
Financial Systems (“FS”)—serves financial services companies, corporate and government treasury departments and energy companies;
Higher Education (“HE”)—serves higher education institutions;
Public Sector (“PS”)—serves state and local governments, public safety and justice agencies, and not-for-profit organizations; and
Availability Services (“AS”)—serves IT-dependent companies across virtually all industries.
We serve more than 25,000 customers in more than 70 countries, including the world’s 25 largest financial services companies. We seek to establish long-term customer relationships by negotiating multi-year contracts and by emphasizing customer support and product quality and integration. We believe that we are one of the most efficient operators of mission-critical IT solutions as a result of the economies of scale we derive from serving multiple customers on shared platforms. Our revenue is highly diversified by customer and product, with no single customer accounting for more than 8% of our total revenue during any of the past three fiscal years. We estimate that approximately 90% of our revenue for the past three fiscal years was recurring in nature.
Our Strengths
Leading franchise in attractive industries. Built over many years, our business has leading positions and strong customer relationships in industries with attractive growth dynamics.
• | Leading industry positions. We believe that the majority of businesses within our FS segment are leaders in the sectors in which they participate within the highly fragmented global market for financial services IT software and services. We believe that HE and PS are both leading providers of software and services to higher education institutions and the public sector, respectively. AS is the pioneer and leading provider in the availability services industry. |
Index to Financial Statements
• | Attractive industry dynamics. While the current economic crisis has presented some challenges in the near term, we believe that, over the long term, the sectors in which we participate will continue to have favorable growth dynamics. We believe that FS will benefit from several key industry dynamics: the shift from internal to external IT spending, the shift from infrastructure to application software spending, and the general increase in IT spending associated with rising compliance and regulatory requirements and real-time information needs. We anticipate that HE and PS will benefit from favorable growth dynamics in higher education and public justice and safety IT spending. We believe that AS will continue to benefit from favorable organic growth in the small and medium business sector. We believe that our strong relationships with our customers in the relatively fragmented software and processing sectors that we serve and our extensive experience and the significant total capital that we have invested in AS help us to maintain leading positions. We believe that these factors provide us with competitive advantages and enhance our growth potential. |
Highly attractive business model. Our portfolio of businesses has substantial recurring revenue, a diversified customer base and significant operating cash flow generation.
• | Extensive portfolio of businesses with substantial recurring revenue. With a large portfolio of services and products in each of our four business segments, we have a diversified and stable business. We estimate that approximately 90% of our revenue for the past three fiscal years was recurring in nature. Because our FS customers generally pay us monthly fees that are based on metrics such as number of accounts, trades or transactions, users or number of hours of service, we believe that our FS revenue is more insulated from trading and transaction volumes than the financial services industry at large. Our portfolio of businesses and the largely recurring nature of our revenue across all four of our segments have reduced volatility in our revenue and income from operations. |
• | Diversified and stable customer base. Our base of more than 25,000 customers includes the world’s 25 largest financial services firms, a variety of other financial services firms, corporate and government treasury departments, energy companies, higher education institutions, school districts, local governments and not-for-profit organizations. Our AS business serves customers across virtually all industries. We believe that our specialized solutions and services help our customers improve operational efficiency, capture growth opportunities and respond to regulatory requirements, which results in long-term customer relationships. Our customer base is highly diversified with no single customer accounting for more than 8% of total revenue during any of the last three fiscal years. |
��
• | Significant operating cash flow generation. The combination of moderate capital expenditures and minimal working capital requirements allows us to convert a significant proportion of our revenue to cash available for debt service. |
Experienced and committed management team with track record of success. Our management team fosters an entrepreneurial culture, has a long track record of operational excellence, has a proven ability to acquire and integrate complementary businesses, and is highly committed to our Company’s long-term success.
• | Long track record of operational excellence. We have a solid track record of performance consistent with internal financial targets. Our experienced senior executive officers have proven capabilities in both running a global business and managing numerous applications that are important to our customers. Our FS solutions account for and manage over $25 trillion in investment assets and process over 5 million transactions per day. In our HE business, 1,600 organizations including colleges, universities, campuses, foundations and state systems rely on SunGard Higher Education. Our PS products are used by agencies that serve more than 140 million citizens in North America and 40 million citizens in the UK. Our AS business has had a 100% success rate in supporting customer recoveries since our inception. |
• | Successful, disciplined acquisition program. To complement our organic growth, we have a highly disciplined due diligence program to evaluate, execute and integrate acquisitions. We have completed 170 acquisitions and overall have improved the operating performance of acquired businesses. Our ongoing acquisition program has contributed significantly to our long-term growth and success. |

• | Experienced and committed management team. Our executive officers have on average more than 15 years of industry experience. Our senior managers have committed significant personal capital to our Company in connection with the Transaction. |
Business Strategy
We are focused on expanding our position not only as a leading provider of integrated software and processing solutions, but also as the provider of choice for a wide range of availability services for IT-dependent companies. Our operating and financial strategy emphasizes fiscal discipline, profitable revenue growth and significant operating cash flow generation. In pursuit of these objectives, we have implemented the following strategies:
Expand our industry-leading franchise. We are constantly enhancing our product and service offerings across our portfolio of businesses, further building and leveraging our customer relationships, and looking to acquire complementary businesses at attractive valuations.
• | Enhance our product and service offerings. We continually support, upgrade and enhance our systems to incorporate new technology and meet the needs of our customers for increased operational efficiency and resilience. Our strong base of recurring revenue allows us to consistently reinvest in our products and services. We continue to introduce innovative products and services in all four of our business segments. We believe that our focus on product enhancement and innovation will help us to increase our penetration of existing and new customers. |
• | Extend our strong customer relationships. We focus on developing trusted, well-managed, long-term relationships with our customers. We look to maximize cross-selling opportunities, increase our share of our customers’ total IT spending and maintain a high level of customer satisfaction. Our global account management program allows us to present a single face to our larger FS customers as well as better target potential cross-selling opportunities. |
• | Acquire and integrate complementary businesses. We seek opportunistically to acquire, at attractive valuations, businesses that broaden our existing product and service offerings, expand our customer base and strengthen our leadership positions, especially within the fragmented FS, HE and PS markets. Before committing to an acquisition, we devote significant resources to due diligence and to developing a post-acquisition integration plan, including the identification and quantification of potential cost savings and synergies. Our ongoing acquisition program has contributed significantly to our long-term growth and success. |
Optimize our attractive business model. We continue to focus on maintaining our attractive business model and, in particular, increasing our recurring revenue base and implementing incremental operational improvements.
• | Increase our recurring revenue base. We strive to generate a high level of recurring revenue and stable cash flow from operations. We prefer to charge customers monthly subscription fees under multi-year contracts, and we continue to prefer such contracts because they offer high levels of revenue stability and visibility. Moreover, we believe that our high quality services and customized solutions help increase the level of integration and efficiency for our customers and reduce customer defections to other vendors or to in-house solutions. |
• | Implement incremental operational improvements. We have identified opportunities to further increase revenue, reduce costs and improve cash flow from operations. These include the global account management program within FS, which stimulates cross-selling opportunities and account penetration for our largest customers; centralization of certain product management functions and expansion of certain software development capacity in lower-cost regions; the selective integration of certain FS, HE and PS business units and back-office operations; and the increased focus on generating revenue from ancillary services such as customer training and education as well as consulting. |
Enhance our performance-based culture. We have an experienced management team that is focused on enhancing our performance-based culture. We continue to evaluate and implement programs to improve our current management structure through competitive compensation plans and continue to implement methods to effectively retain key individuals at acquired businesses. Our compensation program, consistent with past practices, is highly performance-based.

Financial Systems
FS provides mission-critical software and IT services to institutions in virtually every segment of the financial services industry. The primary purpose of these systems is to automate the many detailed processes associated with trading, managing investment portfolios and accounting for investment assets. These solutions address the processing requirements of a broad range of users within financial services, including asset managers, traders, custodians, compliance officers, treasurers, insurers, risk managers, hedge fund managers, plan administrators and clearing agents. In addition, we also provide professional services that focus on application implementation and integration of these solutions and on custom software development. Since our inception, we have consistently enhanced our FS solutions to add new features, process new types of financial instruments, meet new regulatory requirements, incorporate new technologies and meet evolving customer demands.
We deliver many of our FS solutions as an application service provider, primarily from our data centers located in North America and Europe that customers access through the Internet or virtual private networks. We also deliver some of our FS solutions by licensing the software to customers for use on their own computers.
Our FS businesses are grouped internally into two divisions. The main distinction between the two divisions is that one division serves customers whose business is primarily in North America while the other division serves customers whose business is primarily international. The grouping of FS businesses in two divisions also takes into account the balance of management workload.

Availability Services
In AS, we help our customers improve the uptime and resilience of their information and computer systems by providing them with cost-effective IT infrastructure and services to help them keep their mission-critical business systems reliable and secure. Since we pioneered commercial disaster recovery in the 1970s, we believe that our specialization in information availability solutions, together with our experience, technology expertise, resource management capabilities, vendor neutrality and diverse service offerings, have uniquely positioned us to meet customers’ varied needs in an environment where businesses are critically dependent on availability of IT. Over three decades, we have developed a comprehensive portfolio of business continuity and information availability services that extend from always ready standby services to advanced recovery services and always on production and managed services. We also provide business continuity management software and consulting services to help our customers design, implement and maintain plans to protect their central business systems. To serve our 10,000 AS customers, we utilize 4,000,000 square feet of operations space at over 60 locations in nine countries and a global network of approximately 25,000 miles. Since our inception, we have had a 100% success rate helping our customers recover from unplanned interruptions resulting from major disasters including the Gulf Coast hurricanes in 2008, widespread flooding in the U.K. in 2007, hurricane Katrina and Gulf Coast hurricanes in 2005, Florida hurricanes in 2004, the Northeast U.S. blackout in 2003 and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
We provide the following four categories of services: recovery services, managed services, consulting services and business continuity management software. They can be purchased independently or collectively, depending on the level of information availability required by customers as well as their other business continuity and IT infrastructure services needs. Although recovery services remain our principal revenue generating services, managed services, consulting and business continuity management software increasingly accounts for a greater percentage of our new sales. Because these services are often unique to individual customers and utilize a greater proportion of dedicated vs. shared resources, they typically require modestly more capital expenditures and command a somewhat lower operating margin rate than recovery services. The combination of all of these services provides our customers with a total, end-to-end business continuity solution.
Recovery Services: AS helps customers maintain access to the information and computer systems they need to run their businesses by providing cost-effective solutions to keep IT systems operational and secure in the event of an unplanned business disruption. These business disruptions can range from man-made events (e.g. power outages, telecommunications disruptions and acts of terrorism) to natural disasters (e.g. floods, hurricanes and earthquakes). AS offers a complete range of recovery services, depending on the length of time deemed acceptable by customers for IT systems outage – ranging from minutes (for mission-critical applications) to several hours or several days (for non-mission-critical applications). We deliver these services using processors, servers, storage devices, networks and other resources and infrastructure that are subscribed to by multiple customers, which results in economies of scale for us and cost-effectiveness for our customers. These shared services range from basic standby disaster recovery services to blended services labeled as “advanced recovery” or “high availability” solutions that combine the basic standby services with dedicated workgroup recovery and data storage resources that allow customers to continuously replicate data to one of our sites, helping customers to minimize data loss and reduce recovery times.
Managed Services: AS increasingly provides IT infrastructure and production services that customers use to run their businesses on a day-to-day basis. These services range from co-located IT infrastructure (e.g., where AS provides data center space, power, cooling and network connectivity) to fully-managed infrastructure services (e.g., where AS fully manages the daily operation of a customer’s IT infrastructure). Managed services typically require more dedicated processors, servers, storage devices, networks and other resources, which are either obtained by the customer or provided by us for the customer’s exclusive use. Managed services are designed in a flexible manner allowing customers to choose the services they need from a menu of options. Therefore, the combination of selected managed services is unique to each customer, with solutions crafted to meet that customer’s specific needs. Managed services help customers augment their IT resources and skills without having to hire full-time internal IT staff.
Consulting and Professional Services: AS offers consulting services to help customers solve critical business continuity and IT infrastructure problems including business continuity, data storage and management, information security, and numerous categories of IT infrastructure operations. In addition, we also provide professional services that help customers design, implement and maintain other services provided by AS.

Business Continuity Management Software: AS offers software solutions that help customers operate a comprehensive and professional business continuity plan across their enterprise. AS software solutions include business risk assessment, business continuity plan development, emergency notification in the event of a business disruption and virtual command center functionality. These solutions help enable ongoing business operations and management when business teams cannot be physically together because of an unplanned business disruption.
Acquisitions
To complement organic growth, we have a highly disciplined due diligence program to evaluate, execute and integrate acquisitions. Generally, we seek to acquire businesses that broaden our existing product lines and service offerings by adding complementary products and service offerings and by expanding our geographic reach. During 2008, we spent approximately $721 million in cash to acquire six businesses.
The following table lists the businesses we acquired in 2008:
Acquired Company/Business | Date Acquired | Description | ||
Advanced Portfolio Technologies, Inc. | 02/29/08 | Portfolio optimization and risk management software. | ||

Product Development
We continually support, upgrade and enhance our systems and develop new products to meet the needs of our customers for operational efficiency and resilience and to leverage advances in technology. FS is transforming some of the key functionality of its core systems into components to form a new software development and on-demand delivery environment called Infinity. Infinity enables financial institutions to develop and deploy custom applications, integrating SunGard components with their own proprietary or third party components. Infinity uses SunGard’s Common Services Architecture (CSA), a service-oriented architecture (SOA) development framework, offering business process management (BPM) and a virtualized, software-as-a-service (SaaS) infrastructure.
Our expenditures for software development during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, including amounts that were capitalized, totaled approximately $276 million, $297 million and $325 million, respectively. These amounts do not include routine software support costs that are included in cost of sales, nor do they include costs incurred in performing certain customer-funded development projects in the ordinary course of business.
Marketing
Most of our FS solutions are marketed throughout North America and Western Europe and many are marketed world wide, including Asia-Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with the principal focus being on selling additional products and services to existing customers. Our AS, HE and PS solutions are marketed primarily in North America and Europe, with a focus on both new accounts and existing accounts. Our revenue from sales outside the United States during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 totaled approximately $1.23 billion, $1.48 billion and $1.64 billion, respectively.

Competition
Since most of our computer services and software solutions are specialized and technical in nature, most of the market niches in which we compete have a relatively small number of significant competitors. Some of our existing competitors and some potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological and marketing resources than we have (see ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS).
Financial Systems. In our FS business, we compete with numerous other data processing and software vendors that may be broadly categorized into two groups. The first group is comprised of specialized financial systems companies that are much smaller than us. The second group is comprised of large computer services companies whose principal businesses are not in the financial systems area, some of which are also active acquirors. We also face competition from the internal processing and IT departments of our customers and prospects. The key competitive factors in marketing financial systems are the accuracy and timeliness of processed information provided to customers, features and adaptability of the software, level and quality of customer support, degree of responsiveness, level of software development expertise, total cost of ownership and return on investment. We believe that we compete effectively with respect to each of these factors and that our leadership, reputation and experience in this business are important competitive advantages.
Higher Education and Public Sector. In our HE and PS businesses, we compete with a variety of other vendors depending upon customer characteristics such as size, type, location, computing environment and functional requirements. For example, there may be different competitors for different sizes or types of educational institutions or government agencies, or in different states or geographic regions. Competitors in this business range from larger providers of generic enterprise resource planning systems to smaller providers of specialized applications and technologies. We also compete with outsourcers and systems integrators, as well as the internal processing and information technology departments of our customers and prospective customers. The key competitive factors in marketing higher education and public sector systems are the accuracy and timeliness of processed information provided to customers, features and adaptability of the software, level and quality of customer support, degree of responsiveness, level of software development expertise and overall net cost. We believe that we compete effectively as to each of these factors and that our leadership, reputation and experience in these businesses are important competitive advantages.
Availability Services. In our AS business, our greatest source of competition for recovery and advanced recovery services is in-house dedicated solutions, which are solutions that our customers or prospective customers develop and maintain internally instead of purchasing from a vendor such as us. Historically, our single largest commercial competitor in the AS business for recovery and advanced recovery services has been IBM Corporation, which we believe is the only company other than ours that currently provides the full continuum of availability services. We also face competition from specialized vendors, including hardware manufacturers, data-replication and virtualization software companies, outsourcers, managed hosting companies, IT services companies and telecommunications companies. Competition among managed or data center service providers is fragmented with various competitor types, such as major telecommunication providers, carrier neutral managed services providers, real estate investment trusts , IT outsourcers and regional colocation providers. We believe that we compete effectively with respect to the key competitive dimensions in information availability, namely economies of scale, quality of infrastructure, scope and quality of services, including breadth of hardware platforms and network capacity, level and quality of customer support, level of technical expertise, vendor neutrality and price. We also believe that our experience and reputation as an innovator in information availability solutions, our proven track record, our financial stability and our ability to provide the entire portfolio of availability services as a single vendor solution are important competitive advantages.
Employees
On March 31, 2009, we had approximately 20,000 employees. We believe that our success depends partly on our continuing ability to retain and attract skilled technical, sales and management personnel. While skilled personnel are in high demand and competition exists for their talents, we believe that we have been able to retain and attract highly qualified personnel (see ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS). We believe that our employee relations are excellent.

Proprietary Protection
We own registered marks for the SUNGARD name and own or have applied for trademark registrations for many of our services and software products.
To protect our proprietary services and software, we rely upon a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret law, confidentiality restrictions in contracts with employees, customers and others, software security measures, and registered copyrights and patents. We also have established policies requiring our personnel and representatives to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary property. We have a few registrations of our copyrights and a number of patents and patent applications pending. We will continue to apply for software and business method patents on a case-by-case basis and will continue to monitor ongoing developments in the evolving software and business method patent field (see ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS).
Sustainable Development
We have a strong commitment to sustainability. The customers, communities and environment we do business with and in are increasingly influenced by sustainability issues. Our employees identify strongly with global issues such as climate change, and most of our businesses already have established practices for recycling, conservation and disposal of hazardous materials. We believe in accountability, doing business ethically and doing the right thing. During 2008, we adopted a company-wide sustainability policy and supplier code of conduct, began a process to measure our carbon footprint and continued our employee engagement and communications programs. We also continued our partnerships with the World Business Council on Sustainable Development, The Green Grid and the Corporate Eco-Forum as part of our objective to work with companies across industries to implement best practices. We remain dedicated to establishing a corporate culture of sustainable development to help ensure that SunGard can continue to take pride in what we do and the way we do it.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Risks Related to SunGard’s Indebtedness
SunGard’s substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our debt obligations.
As a result of being acquired on August 11, 2005 by the Sponsors, SunGard is highly leveraged and its debt service requirements are significant. At March 31, 2009, SunGard’s total indebtedness was $8.56 billion, and it had $755 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, after giving effect to certain outstanding letters of credit. At March 31, 2009, the Parent Companies did not have any outstanding indebtedness.
SunGard’s high degree of leverage could have important consequences, including:
• | making it more difficult for SunGard to make payments on its debt obligations; |
• | increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions; |
• | requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on SunGard’s indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities; |
• | exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of SunGard’s borrowings, including borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest; |
• | restricting us from making acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures; |
• | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and |
• | limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged. |
- 10 -
Index to Financial Statements
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in SunGard’s senior secured credit facilities and the indentures relating to SunGard’s senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify.
SunGard’s debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.
SunGard’s senior secured credit agreement and the indentures governing SunGard’s senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 contain various covenants that limit its ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit SunGard’s ability to, among other things:
• | incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; |
• | pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; |
• | make certain investments; |
• | sell certain assets; |
• | create liens; |
• | consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; and |
• | enter into certain transactions with its affiliates. |
In addition, under the senior secured credit agreement, SunGard is required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests. SunGard’s ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond its control, and it may not be able to meet those ratios and tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the senior secured credit agreement. Upon an event of default under the senior secured credit agreement, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.
If SunGard were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the senior secured credit agreement could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. SunGard has pledged a significant portion of its assets as collateral under the senior secured credit agreement and the senior notes due 2014, to the extent required by the indenture governing these notes. If the lenders under the senior secured credit agreement accelerate the repayment of borrowings, SunGard may not have sufficient assets to repay the senior secured credit facilities and the senior notes, as well as its unsecured indebtedness.
Provisions of SunGard’s credit agreements could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.
Certain provisions of SunGard’s credit agreements could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire us. Upon the occurrence of certain transactions constituting a change of control, all indebtedness under SunGard’s credit agreements may be accelerated and become due.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our business depends largely on the economy and financial markets, and a slowdown or downturn in the economy or financial markets could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
When there is a slowdown or downturn in the economy, a drop in stock market levels or trading volumes, or an event that disrupts the financial markets, our business and financial results may suffer for a number of reasons. Customers may react to worsening conditions by reducing their capital expenditures in general or by specifically reducing their IT spending. In addition, customers may curtail or discontinue trading operations, delay or cancel IT projects, or seek to lower their costs by renegotiating vendor contracts. Also, customers with excess IT resources may choose to take their availability solutions in-house rather than obtain those solutions from us. Moreover, competitors may respond to market conditions by lowering prices and attempting to lure away our customers to lower cost solutions. If any of these circumstances remain in effect for an extended period of time, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial results. Because our financial performance tends to lag behind fluctuations in the economy, our recovery from any particular downturn in the economy may not occur until after economic conditions have generally improved.

Our business depends largely on the financial services industry, and a weakening of the financial services industry could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Because our customer base is concentrated in the financial services industry, our business is largely dependent on the health of that industry. When there is a general downturn in the financial services industry, or if our customers in that industry experience financial or business problems, our business and financial results may suffer. If financial services firms continue to consolidate, there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. When a customer merges with a firm using its own solution or another vendor’s solution, they could decide to consolidate on a non-SunGard system, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results.
Our acquisition program is an important element of our strategy but, because of the uncertainties involved, this program may not be successful and we may not be able to successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses.
Part of our growth strategy is to pursue additional acquisitions in the future. There can be no assurance that our acquisition program will continue to be successful. In addition, we may finance any future acquisition with debt, which would increase our interest costs. If we are unable to successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses, including GL TRADE, then our business and financial results may suffer. It is possible that the businesses we have acquired and businesses that we acquire in the future may perform worse than expected, be subject to an adverse litigation outcome or prove to be more difficult to integrate and manage than expected. If that happens, there may be a material adverse effect on our business and financial results for a number of reasons, including:
• | we may have to devote unanticipated financial and management resources to acquired businesses; |
• | we may not be able to realize expected operating efficiencies or product integration benefits from our acquisitions; |
• | we may have to write-off goodwill or other intangible assets; and |
• | we may incur unforeseen obligations or liabilities (including assumed liabilities not fully indemnified by the seller) in connection with acquisitions. |
If we are unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates and successfully complete acquisitions, our growth and our financial results may be adversely affected.
Our growth has depended in part on our ability to acquire similar or complementary businesses on favorable terms. This growth strategy is subject to a number of risks that could adversely affect our business and financial results, including:
• | we may not be able to find suitable businesses to acquire at affordable valuations or on other acceptable terms; |
• | we may face competition for acquisitions from other potential acquirers, some of whom may have greater resources than us or may be less highly leveraged, or from the possibility of an acquisition target pursuing an initial public offering of its stock; |
• | we may have to incur additional debt to finance future acquisitions as we have done in the past and no assurance can be given as to whether, and on what terms, such additional debt will be available; and |
• | we may find it more difficult or costly to complete acquisitions due to changes in accounting, tax, securities or other regulations. |
Catastrophic events may disrupt or otherwise adversely affect the markets in which we operate, our business and our profitability.
Our business may be adversely affected by a war, terrorist attack, natural disaster or other catastrophe. A catastrophic event could have a direct negative impact on us or an indirect impact on us by, for example, affecting our customers, the financial markets or the overall economy. The potential for a direct impact is due primarily to our significant investment in our infrastructure. Although we maintain redundant facilities and have contingency plans in place to protect against both man-made and natural threats, it is impossible to fully anticipate and protect against all potential catastrophes. Despite our preparations, a security breach, criminal act, military action, power or communication failure, flood, severe storm or the like could lead to service interruptions and data losses for
- 12 -
Index to Financial Statements
customers, disruptions to our operations, or damage to our important facilities. The same disasters or circumstances that may lead to our customers requiring access to our availability services may negatively impact our own ability to provide such services. Our three largest availability services facilities are particularly important, and a major disruption at one or more of those facilities could disrupt or otherwise impair our ability to provide services to our availability services customers. If any of these events happen, we may be exposed to unexpected liability, our customers may leave, our reputation may be tarnished, and there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Our application service provider systems may be subject to disruptions that could adversely affect our reputation and our business.
Our application service provider systems maintain and process confidential data on behalf of our customers, some of which is critical to their business operations. For example, our trading, treasury and risk management systems maintain account and trading information for our customers and their clients, and our benefit administration and insurance systems maintain investor account information for retirement plans, insurance policies and mutual funds. There is no guarantee that the systems and procedures that we maintain to protect against unauthorized access to such information are adequate to protect against all security breaches. If our application service provider systems are disrupted or fail for any reason, or if our systems or facilities are infiltrated or damaged by unauthorized persons, our customers could experience data loss, financial loss, harm to reputation and significant business interruption. If that happens, we may be exposed to unexpected liability, our customers may leave, our reputation may be tarnished, and there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Because the sales cycle for our software is typically lengthy and unpredictable, our results may fluctuate from period to period.
Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period and be difficult to predict in a particular period due to the timing and magnitude of software sales. We offer a number of our software solutions on a license basis, which means that the customer has the right to run the software on its own computers. The customer usually makes a significant up-front payment to license software, which we generally recognize as revenue when the license contract is signed and the software is delivered. The size of the up-front payment often depends on a number of factors that are different for each customer, such as the number of customer locations, users or accounts. As a result, the sales cycle for a software license may be lengthy and take unexpected turns. Thus, it is difficult to predict when software sales will occur or how much revenue they will generate. Since there are few incremental costs associated with software sales, our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year due to the timing and magnitude of software sales.
Rapid changes in technology and our customers’ businesses could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Our business may suffer if we do not successfully adapt our products and services to changes in technology and changes in our customers’ businesses. These changes can occur rapidly and at unpredictable intervals and we may not be able to respond adequately. If we do not successfully update and integrate our products and services to adapt to these changes, or if we do not successfully develop new products and services needed by our customers to keep pace with these changes, then our business and financial results may suffer. Our ability to keep up with technology and business changes is subject to a number of risks, including:
• | we may find it difficult or costly to update our products and services and to develop new products fast enough to meet our customers’ needs; |
• | we may find it difficult or costly to make some features of our products and services work effectively and securely over the Internet; |
• | we may find it difficult or costly to integrate more of our FS solutions; |
• | we may find it difficult or costly to update our products and services to keep pace with business, regulatory and other developments in the financial services industry, where many of our customers operate; and |
• | we may find it difficult or costly to update our services to keep pace with advancements in hardware, software and telecommunications technology. |

Index to Financial Statements
Some technological changes, such as advancements that have facilitated the ability of our AS customers to develop their own internal solutions, may render some of our products and services less valuable or eventually obsolete. In addition, because of ongoing, rapid technological changes, the useful lives of some technology assets have become shorter and customers are therefore replacing these assets more often. As a result, our customers are increasingly expressing a preference for contracts with shorter terms, which could make our revenue less predictable in the future.
Customers taking their availability solutions in-house may continue to create pressure on our organic revenue growth rate.
Our AS solutions allow customers to leverage our significant infrastructure and take advantage of our experience, technology expertise, resource management capabilities and vendor neutrality. Technological advances in recent years have significantly reduced the cost and the complexity of developing in-house solutions. Some customers, especially among the very largest having significant IT resources, prefer to develop and maintain their own in-house availability solutions, which can result in a loss of revenue from those customers. If this trend continues or worsens, there will be continued pressure on our organic revenue growth rate.
The trend toward information availability solutions utilizing more single customer dedicated resources likely will lower our overall operating margin rate over time.
In the information availability services industry, especially among our more sophisticated customers, there is an increasing preference for solutions that utilize some level of dedicated resources, such as blended advanced recovery services and managed services. The primary reason for this trend is that adding dedicated resources, although more costly, provides greater control, reduces data loss and facilitates quicker responses to business interruptions. Advanced recovery services often result in greater use of dedicated resources with a modest decrease in operating margin rate. Managed services require significant dedicated resources and, therefore, have an appropriately lower operating margin rate.
Our brokerage operations are highly regulated and are riskier than our other businesses.
Organizations like the Securities and Exchange Commission, Financial Services Authority and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority can, among other things, fine, censure, issue cease-and-desist orders and suspend or expel a broker/dealer or any of its officers or employees for failures to comply with the many laws and regulations that govern brokerage operations. Our ability to comply with these laws and regulations is largely dependent on our establishment, maintenance and enforcement of an effective brokerage compliance program. Our failure to establish, maintain and enforce proper brokerage compliance procedures, even if unintentional, could subject us to significant losses, lead to disciplinary or other actions, and tarnish our reputation. Regulations affecting the brokerage industry, in particular with respect to active traders, may change, which could adversely affect our financial results.
We are exposed to certain risks relating to the execution and clearance services provided by our brokerage operations to retail customers, institutional clients (including hedge funds and other broker-dealers), and proprietary traders. These risks include, but are not limited to, customers failing to pay for securities commitments in the marketplace, trading errors, the inability or failure to settle trades, and trade execution or clearance systems failures. In our other businesses, we generally can disclaim liability for trading losses that may be caused by our software, but in our brokerage operations, we cannot limit our liability for trading losses even when we are not at fault. As a result we may suffer losses that are disproportionate to the relatively modest profit contributions of this business
We could lose revenue due to “fiscal funding” or “termination for convenience” clauses in certain customer contracts, especially in our HE and PS businesses.
Certain of our customer contracts, particularly those with governments, institutions of higher education and school districts, may be partly or completely terminated by the customer due to budget cuts or sometimes for any reason at all. These types of clauses are often called “fiscal funding” or “termination for convenience” clauses. If a customer exercises one of these clauses, the customer would be obligated to pay for the services we performed up to the date of exercise, but would not have to pay for any further services. While we have not been materially affected by exercises of these clauses in the past, we may be in the future. If customers that collectively represent a substantial portion of our revenue were to invoke the fiscal funding or termination for convenience clauses of their contracts, our future business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Index to Financial Statements
If we fail to comply with government regulations in connection with our business or providing technology services to certain financial institutions, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Because we act as a third-party service provider to financial institutions and provide mission-critical applications for many financial institutions that are regulated by one or more member agencies of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”), we are subject to examination by the member agencies of the FFIEC. More specifically, we are a Multi-Regional Data Processing Servicer of the FFIEC because we provide mission critical applications for financial institutions from several data centers located in different geographic regions. As a result, the FFIEC conducts periodic reviews of certain of our operations in order to identify existing or potential risks associated with our operations that could adversely affect the financial institutions to whom we provide services, evaluate our risk management systems and controls, and determine our compliance with applicable laws that affect the services we provide to financial institutions. In addition to examining areas such as our management of technology, data integrity, information confidentiality and service availability, the reviews also assess our financial stability. Our incurrence of significant debt in connection with the Transaction increases the risk of an FFIEC agency review determining that our financial stability has been weakened. A sufficiently unfavorable review from the FFIEC could result in our financial institution customers not being allowed to use our technology services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
If we fail to comply with any regulations applicable to our business, we may be exposed to unexpected liability and/or governmental proceedings, our customers may leave, our reputation may be tarnished, and there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. In addition, the future enactment of more restrictive laws or rules on the federal or state level, or, with respect to our international operations, in foreign jurisdictions on the national, provincial, state or other level, could have an adverse impact on business and financial results.
If we are unable to retain or attract customers, our business and financial results will be adversely affected.
If we are unable to keep existing customers satisfied, sell additional products and services to existing customers or attract new customers, then our business and financial results may suffer. A variety of factors could affect our ability to successfully retain and attract customers, including the level of demand for our products and services, the level of customer spending for information technology, the level of competition from customers that develop their own solutions internally and from other vendors, the quality of our customer service, our ability to update our products and develop new products and services needed by customers, and our ability to integrate and manage acquired businesses. Our services revenue, which has been largely recurring in nature, comes from the sale of our products and services under fixed-term contracts. We do not have a unilateral right to extend these contracts when they expire. Revenue from our broker/dealer businesses is not subject to minimum or ongoing contractual commitments on the part of brokerage customers. If customers cancel or refuse to renew their contracts, or if customers reduce the usage levels or asset values under their contracts, there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
If we fail to retain key employees, our business may be harmed.
Our success depends on the skill, experience and dedication of our employees. If we are unable to retain and attract sufficiently experienced and capable personnel, especially in product development, sales and management, our business and financial results may suffer. For example, if we are unable to retain and attract a sufficient number of skilled technical personnel, our ability to develop high quality products and provide high quality customer service may be impaired. Experienced and capable personnel in the technology industry remain in high demand, and there is continual competition for their talents. When talented employees leave, we may have difficulty replacing them, and our business may suffer. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully retain and attract the personnel that we need.
We are subject to the risks of doing business internationally.
During 2008, approximately 29% of our revenue was generated outside the United States. Approximately 76% of this revenue was from customers located in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. Over the past few years
- 15 -
Index to Financial Statements
we have expanded our support operations in India and acquired businesses in China and Singapore, in an effort to increase our presence throughout Asia Pacific. Because we sell our services outside the United States, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Accordingly, our business and financial results could be adversely affected due to a variety of factors, including:
• | changes in a specific country’s or region’s political and cultural climate or economic condition; |
• | unexpected changes in foreign laws and regulatory requirements; |
• | difficulty of effective enforcement of contractual provisions in local jurisdictions; |
• | inadequate intellectual property protection in foreign countries; |
• | trade-protection measures, import or export licensing requirements such as Export Administration Regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Commerce and fines, penalties or suspension or revocation of export privileges; |
• | the effects of applicable foreign tax structures and potentially adverse tax consequences; and |
• | significant adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. |
The Sponsors control us and may have conflicts of interest with us.
Investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors indirectly own, through their ownership in our Parent Companies, a substantial portion of our capital stock. As a result, the Sponsors have control over our decisions to enter into any corporate transaction regardless of whether holders of RSUs believe that any such transaction is in their own best interests. The interests of the Sponsors may not in all cases be aligned with our own interests or the interests of our RSU holders.
Additionally, the Sponsors are in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. One or more of the Sponsors may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. So long as investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors continue to indirectly own a significant amount of our outstanding equity, even if such amount is less than 50%, the Sponsors will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions.
If we are unable to protect our proprietary technologies and defend infringement claims, we could lose one of our competitive advantages and our business could be adversely affected.
Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary products and services and to defend against infringement claims. If we are unable to do so, our business and financial results may suffer. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely upon a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret law, confidentiality restrictions in contracts with employees, customers and others, software security measures, and registered copyrights and patents. Despite our efforts to protect the proprietary technology, unauthorized persons may be able to copy, reverse engineer or otherwise use some of our technology. It also is possible that others will develop and market similar or better technology to compete with us. Furthermore, existing patent, copyright and trade secret laws may afford only limited protection, and the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary technology as well as United States law. For these reasons, we may have difficulty protecting our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use. If any of these events happens, there could be a material adverse effect on the value of our proprietary technology and on our business and financial results. In addition, litigation may be necessary to protect our proprietary technology. This type of litigation is often costly and time-consuming, with no assurance of success.
The software industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Some of our competitors or other third parties may have been more aggressive than us in applying for or obtaining patent protection for innovative proprietary technologies both in the United States and internationally In addition, we use a limited amount of open source software in our products and may use more open source software in the future. Because open source software is developed by numerous independent parties over whom we exercise no supervision or control, allegations of infringement for using open source software are possible. As a result of all of these factors, there can be no assurance that in the future third parties will not assert infringement claims against us (as they have already done in the past) and preclude us from using a technology in our products or require us to enter into royalty
- 16 -
Index to Financial Statements
and licensing arrangements on terms that are not favorable to us, or force us to engage in costly infringement litigation, which could result in us paying monetary damages or being forced to redesign our products to avoid infringement. Additionally, our licenses and service agreements with our customers generally provide that we will defend and indemnify them for claims against them relating to our alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties with respect to our products or services. We might have to defend or indemnify our customers to the extent they are subject to these types of claims. Any of these claims may be difficult and costly to defend and may lead to unfavorable judgments or settlements, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and financial results. For these reasons, we may find it difficult or costly to add or retain important features in our products and services.
Certain of our and our suppliers’ software may contain open source software. Although we monitor our use of open source software to avoid subjecting our products to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by United States or other courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products.
Defects, design errors or security flaws in our products could harm our reputation and expose us to potential liability.
Most of our products are very complex software systems that are regularly updated. No matter how careful the design and development, complex software often contains errors and defects when first introduced and when major new updates or enhancements are released. If errors or defects are discovered in our current or future products, we may not be able to correct them in a timely manner, if at all. In our development of updates and enhancements to our products, we may make a major design error that makes the product operate incorrectly or less efficiently.
In addition, certain of our products include security features that are intended to protect the privacy and integrity of customer data. Despite these security features, our products and systems, and our customers’ systems may be vulnerable to break-ins and similar problems caused by third parties, such as hackers bypassing firewalls and misappropriating confidential information. Such break-ins or other disruptions could jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and those of our customers, subject us to liability and tarnish our reputation. We may need to expend significant capital resources in order to eliminate or work around errors, defects, design errors or security problems. Any one of these problems in our products may result in the loss of or a delay in market acceptance of our products, the diversion of development resources, a lower rate of license renewals or upgrades and damage to our reputation, and in turn may increase service and warranty costs.
A material weakness in our internal controls could have a material adverse affect on us.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results could be harmed. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations, and there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

There is no public market for our Equity Securities and they are subject to significant restrictions on transfer, including restrictions under the federal and state securities laws and the Stockholders Agreement among SCC, SCCII, SunGard Holding Corp., SunGard Holdco LLC, Solar Capital Corp. and certain stockholders of SCC and SCCII, dated as of August 10, 2005 (as in effect from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”), which substantially restrict the liquidity of the securities described herein. See “Description of Registrants’ Securities to be Registered.” In general, the Stockholders Agreement contains “tag-along” and “drag-along” rights, rights of first offer, call rights, transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions that substantially restrict the liquidity of our equity securities. See “Description of Registrants’ Securities to be Registered—Stockholders Agreement.” In addition, there are no assurances that a liquidity event will occur, and if it does so when such event occurs or on what terms and conditions. Therefore investors must be prepared to bear the economic risk of holding such securities for an indefinite period of time and without any assurance that the RSUs or the Shares will generate any investment return.
SCC does not expect to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and SCCII does not expect to pay dividends on our preferred stock in the foreseeable future.
The Parent Companies are holding companies with no business operations of their own. As a result, they depend on their operating subsidiaries for cash to make dividend payments. Deterioration in the financial conditions, earnings or cash flow of our significant subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay cash dividends or other distributions to the Parent Companies. The Parent Companies may also need to contribute additional capital to improve the capital ratios of certain of its subsidiaries, which could also affect the ability of these subsidiaries to pay dividends.
In addition, the terms of certain of the outstanding indebtedness of subsidiaries of the Parent Companies substantially restricts our ability to pay dividends. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Indebtedness.” There cannot be any assurance that agreements governing the current and future indebtedness of the Parent Companies or their subsidiaries will permit the Parent Companies or their subsidiaries to provide our stockholders with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans.
Accordingly, the restrictions above would limit the Parent Companies’ ability to make dividend payments to our stockholders, and investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common and preferred stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur, particularly in view of our transfer restrictions applicable to our capital stock.
Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, cash flows, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors the board deems relevant.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITIONAND RESULTSOF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are one of the world’s leading software and IT services companies. We provide software and processing solutions to institutions throughout the financial services industry, higher education, and the public sector; and we help enterprises of all types maintain the continuity of their business through information availability services. We support more than 25,000 customers in over 70 countries, including the world’s 25 largest financial services companies. We operate our business in four segments: Financial Systems (“FS”), Higher Education (“HE”), Public Sector (“PS”) and Availability Services (“AS”). Our FS segment primarily serves financial services companies, corporate and government treasury departments and energy companies. Our HE segment primarily serves higher education institutions. Our PS segment primarily serves state and local governments and not-for-profit organizations. Our AS segment serves IT-dependent companies across virtually all industries.
SunGard was acquired on August 11, 2005 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 TPG (the “Transaction”).
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 (“SCCII”), which is a subsidiary of SunGard Capital Corp. (“SCC”). SCCII and SCC are collectively referred to as the “Parent Companies.” All of these companies were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction and are collectively referred to as the “Holding Companies.”
In FS, we primarily serve financial services companies through a broad range of complementary software solutions that process their investment and trading transactions. The principal purpose of most of these systems is to automate the business processes associated with trading securities, managing portfolios and accounting for investment assets.
In HE, we primarily provide software, strategic and systems integration consulting, and technology management services to higher education organizations around the world, including colleges, universities, campuses, foundations and state systems. HE solutions include administration, advancement, IT management, performance analytics, enrollment management, academic performance and strategic planning.
In PS, we primarily provide software and processing solutions designed to meet the specialized needs of central, federal, state and local governments, public safety and justice agencies, public schools, utilities, non-profits, and other public sector institutions. Our PS solutions support a range of specialized enterprise resource planning and administrative solutions.
In AS, we help our customers maintain access to the information and computer systems they need to run their businesses by providing them with cost-effective resources to keep their mission-critical IT systems reliable and secure. We offer a complete range of availability services, including recovery services, managed services, consulting services and business continuity management software.
Global Economic Conditions
Current instability in the worldwide financial markets, including volatility in and disruption of the credit markets, has resulted in uncertain economic conditions. Late in 2008, a global financial crisis triggered unprecedented market volatility and depressed economic growth.
SunGard’s results of operations are typically a trailing indicator of current economic activity, largely due to the multi-year contracts that generate the majority of our revenue. While our 2008 results show some effect of the current crisis, we believe that 2009 will be more challenging. As we have always done, our businesses have right-sized their expense base in line with their expected revenue opportunities, but the lack of visibility in the current economic environment limits our ability to estimate the impact of the crisis.
The following discussion reflects the results of operations and financial condition of SCC, which are materially the same as the results of operations and financial condition of SCCII and SunGard. Therefore, the discussions provided are applicable to each of SCC, SCCII and SunGard unless otherwise noted. Also, the following

Index to Financial Statements
discussion includes historical and certain forward-looking information that should be read together with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes and the discussion above of certain risks and uncertainties (see ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS) that could cause future operating results to differ materially from historical results or the expected results indicated by forward-looking statements.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make many estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Those estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We review our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and revise them when necessary. Actual results may differ from the original or revised estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. A description of the most critical policies and those areas where estimates have a relatively greater effect in the financial statements follows. Our management has discussed the critical accounting policies described below with our audit committee.
Intangible Assets and Purchase Accounting
Purchase accounting requires that all assets and liabilities be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets separate from goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets include customer base (which includes customer contracts and relationships), software and trade name. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired.
The estimated fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets, and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions and competition. In connection with our determination of fair values for the Transaction and for other significant acquisitions, we engage independent appraisal firms to assist us with the valuation of intangible (and certain tangible) assets acquired and certain assumed obligations. The carrying values and useful lives for amortization of identified intangible assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and any resulting changes in estimates could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
At least annually, we compare the carrying value of our reporting units to their estimated fair value. If the carrying value is greater than the respective estimated fair value, we then determine if the goodwill is impaired, and whether some or all of the goodwill should be written off as a charge to operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. The estimate of fair value requires various assumptions including the use of projections of future cash flows and discount rates that reflect the risks associated with achieving the future cash flows. Changes in the underlying business could affect these estimates, which in turn could affect the fair value of the reporting unit.
In connection with certain acquisitions, we have accrued the estimated costs of closing certain facilities. Historically, the estimated cost of closing our existing facilities was included in merger costs and the estimated cost of closing acquired facilities was included in goodwill. Effective for acquisitions after January 1, 2009, the estimated cost of closing acquired facilities will also be recorded in merger costs.
Revenue Recognition
We generate services revenue from availability services, processing services, software maintenance and rentals, professional services and broker/dealer fees. All services revenue is recorded as the services are provided based on the fair value of each element. Fair value is determined based on the sales price of each element when sold separately. Most AS services revenue consists of fixed monthly fees based upon the specific computer configuration or business process for which the service is being provided, and the related costs are incurred ratably over the contract period. When recovering from an interruption, customers generally are contractually obligated to pay additional fees, which typically cover our incremental costs of supporting customers during recoveries. FS services revenue includes monthly fees, which may include a fixed minimum fee and/or variable fees based on a measure of volume or activity, such as the number of accounts, trades or transactions, users or the number of hours of service.
- 22 -
Index to Financial Statements
For fixed-fee professional services contracts, services revenue is recorded based upon the estimated percentage of completion, measured by the actual number of hours incurred divided by the total estimated number of hours for the project. When contracts include both professional services and software and require a significant amount of program modification or customization, installation, systems integration or related services, the professional services and license revenue is recorded based upon the estimated percentage of completion, measured in the manner described above. Changes in the estimated costs or hours to complete the contract and losses, if any, are reflected in the period during which the change or loss becomes known.
License fees result from contracts that permit the customer to use our software products at its site. Generally, these contracts are multiple-element arrangements since they usually provide for professional services and ongoing software maintenance. In these instances, license fees are recognized upon the signing of the contract and delivery of the software if the license fee is fixed, collection is probable, and there is sufficient evidence of the fair value of each undelivered element. Revenue is recorded when billed when customer payments are extended beyond normal billing terms, or when there is significant acceptance, technology or service risk. Revenue also is recorded over the contract period in those instances where the software is bundled together with computer equipment or other post-delivery services, and there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of each undelivered element.
We believe that our revenue recognition practices comply with the complex and evolving rules governing revenue recognition. Future interpretations of existing accounting standards, new standards or changes in our business practices could result in changes in our revenue recognition accounting policies that could have a material effect on our financial results.
Accounting for Income Taxes
The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance is recorded may not be realized upon changes in facts and circumstances. Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return are recorded when such benefits meet a more likely than not threshold. Otherwise, these tax benefits are recorded when a tax position has been effectively settled, which means that the appropriate taxing authority has completed their examination even though the statute of limitations remains open, or the statute of limitation expires. Considerable judgment is required in assessing and estimating these amounts and differences between the actual outcome of these future tax consequences and our estimates could have a material effect on our financial results.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options, expected volatility of our stock price, and the number of awards expected to be forfeited. In addition, for stock-based awards where vesting is dependent upon achieving certain operating performance goals, we estimate the likelihood of achieving the performance goals. Differences between actual results and these estimates could have a material effect on our financial results. A deferred income tax asset is recorded over the vesting period as stock compensation expense is recorded. Our ability to use the deferred tax asset is ultimately based on the actual value of the stock-based award upon exercise. If the actual value is lower than the fair value determined on the date of grant, then there could be an income tax expense for the portion of the deferred tax asset that cannot be used, which could have a material effect on our financial results.
Consolidated Results of Operations
We evaluate performance of our segments based on operating results before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges, stock compensation and certain other costs (see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 included elsewhere herein and Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included elsewhere herein).

Income from Operations:
Our total operating margin was 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 10% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to the decline in operating margins at AS and FS.
Financial Systems:
The FS operating margin was 16% and 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The operating margin decline is primarily related to a $9 million decrease in software license fees, the impact of the increase in revenue at one of our trading systems businesses which has an inherently lower margin and 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 20% and 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The operating margin increase is due primarily to a $1 million increase in software license fees.
Public Sector:
The PS operating margin was 19% and 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, due primarily to improvement in the U.K. business, with the impact of foreign exchange movements in revenue and expenses largely offsetting each other in our U.K.-based business.

The AS operating margin was 24% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The operating margin decline and the decrease of $12 million are primarily due to currency movements and facility expansions in Europe and North America, which increased the fixed cost base in advance of anticipated revenue growth.
Revenue:
Total revenue increased $33 million or 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. On a constant currency basis, organic revenue growth was 2% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the prior year period. 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. Including the impact of foreign exchange movements, most notably the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, organic revenue declined 3% in the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2008, primarily because of a decline in professional services revenue across all of our segments except AS. Approximately 5% of organic revenue growth in the quarter was attributed to one of our broker/dealer businesses.
Financial Systems:
FS revenue increased $55 million or 8% in the first quarter of 2009 from the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, organic revenue grew 4% in the quarter. Including the impact of foreign exchange movements, organic revenue grew just under 1% in the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2008. Approximately 9% of organic revenue growth was attributed to one of our broker/dealer businesses. The broker/dealer revenue has remained uncharacteristically high and is a function of market volatility and customer mix; while this revenue increased year over year, it declined sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2008. We expect this revenue to decline further but are unable to predict the timing. Professional services revenue decreased $35 million or 22%. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $21 million and $30 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Higher Education:
HE revenue increased $6 million or 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008 due entirely to organic revenue growth. HE services revenue increased $4 million, primarily due to revenue associated with a customer conference held in the first quarter of 2009 that was held in the second quarter of 2008 partly 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, 2009, an increase of $1 million from the prior year period.

Public Sector:
PS revenue decreased $10 million or 10% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008, all of which was organic. On a constant currency basis, organic revenue increased 2%. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $5 million in both the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Availability Services:
AS revenue decreased $18 million or 5% in 2009. On a constant currency basis, organic revenue grew 1% in the quarter. Including the impact of foreign exchange movements, organic revenue declined 7%. In North America, revenue grew 1.5% overall, but decreased 1% organically where decreases in basic and advanced recovery services exceeded growth in managed services. Revenue in Europe decreased 22.5%, but grew 7% on a constant currency basis.
Costs and Expenses:
Cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 52% and 49% in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, largely the result of the higher volumes of the broker/dealer business previously mentioned. Also impacting the period were increased costs from acquired businesses, net of a business sold in 2008.
Sales, marketing and administration expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 21% in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Organic decreases in sales, marketing and administration expenses, most notably decreases in FS and PS employment-related expenses, were mostly offset by increases 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, 2009 and 2008, product development costs were 8% and 9% 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, 2009 and 2008. The $2 million increase in 2009 was due primarily to capital expenditures supporting FS and from the FS businesses acquired in 2008.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets as a percentage of total revenue was 9% in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The $12 million increase in 2009 was due to shortening the remaining useful lives of certain intangible assets to reflect revisions to estimated customer attrition rates as well as acquisitions made in 2008.
Interest expense was $151 million and $148 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to increased borrowings from the issuance of $500 million senior notes due 2015, a $500 million increase in the term loan and additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility, partially offset by interest rate decreases.
Other income was $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to other expense of $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The change is primarily attributable to $7 million of foreign currency translation gains primarily related to our Euro denominated term loan in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $16 million of translation losses in the same period in 2008.
The effective income tax rates in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 21% and 45%, respectively. The rate in the first quarter of 2009 reflects limitations on our ability to utilize certain foreign tax credits.

Index to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007
Income from Operations:
Our total operating margin decreased from 13% in 2007 to 8% in 2008 primarily due to a $128 million goodwill impairment charge in PS, intangible asset write-offs of $67 million and the decline in operating margins at each of our operating segments.
Financial Systems:
The FS operating margin was 20% for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 21% for the prior year period. The operating margin decline reflects the impact of the increase in revenue at one of our trading systems businesses which has an inherently lower margin, an increase in restructuring charges and an $11 million decrease in software license revenue.
The most important factors affecting the FS operating margin are:
• | the level of trading volumes, |
• | the level of IT spending and its impact on the overall demand for professional services and software license sales, |
• | the rate and value of contract renewals, new contract signings and contract terminations, |
• | the extent and degree of price negotiation by our customers, |
• | the overall condition of the financial services industry and the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms, and |
• | the operating margins of recently acquired businesses, which tend to be lower at the outset and improve over a number of years. |
Higher Education:
The HE operating margin was 24% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 26% for the year ended December 31, 2007. The operating margin decline is due to a $15 million decrease in software license fees.
The most important factors affecting the HE operating margin are:
• | the rate and value of contract renewals, new contract signings and contract terminations, |
• | the level of IT spending and its impact on the overall demand for professional services and software license sales, and |
• | the extent and degree of price negotiation by our customers. |
Public Sector:
The PS operating margin was 19% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 20% for the year ended December 31, 2007. The operating margin decline is due primarily to the impact of significantly lower margins in the U.K. business and a $4 million decrease in software license fees.
The most important factors affecting the PS operating margin are:
• | the rate and value of contract renewals, new contract signings and contract terminations, |
• | the level of IT spending and its impact on the overall demand for professional services and software license sales, and |
• | the extent and degree of price negotiation by our customers. |
Availability Services:
The AS operating margin was 28% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 30% for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily due to facility expansions in both North America and Europe, which increased the fixed cost base in advance of anticipated revenue growth.
The most important factors affecting the AS operating margin are:
• | the rate and value of contract renewals, new contract signings and contract terminations, |
- 30 -
Index to Financial Statements
• | the timing and magnitude of equipment and facilities expenditures, and |
• | the trend toward availability solutions utilizing more dedicated resources. |
The margin rate of the AS European business is inherently lower than the margin rate of the North American business due primarily to lower economies of scale in the distinct geographic markets served. However, the differential in the margins has narrowed over the past several years because of operational improvements in Europe and the growing proportion of managed services in North America.
Revenue:
Total revenue was $5.60 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $4.90 billion for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in total revenue in 2008 is due primarily to organic revenue growth of approximately 10%, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding $335 million or six percentage points to the growth rate. The broker/dealer revenue has remained uncharacteristically high and is a function of market volatility and customer mix. We expect this revenue to decline at some point but are unable to predict the timing. Organic revenue is defined as revenue from 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, dispositions and by purchase accounting adjustments.
Services revenue, which is largely recurring in nature, includes revenue from availability services, processing services, software support and rentals, professional services, broker/dealer fees and hardware rentals. Services revenue increased to $5.08 billion from $4.36 billion, representing approximately 91% of total revenue in 2008 compared to 89% in 2007. The revenue increase of $719 million in 2008 was due primarily to organic revenue growth of $529 million, mostly in FS with $333 million coming from the broker/dealer mentioned above, and the impact of acquired revenue in FS and AS.
Professional services revenue was $961 million and $886 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The $75 million increase was due primarily to FS acquired and organic revenue.
Revenue from license and resale fees was $369 million and $396 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and includes software license revenue of $266 million and $293 million, respectively.
Financial Systems:
FS revenue was $3.08 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $2.50 billion for the year ended December 31, 2007. Organic revenue growth was approximately 18% in 2008, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding $335 million or 13 percentage points to the growth rate. The broker/dealer revenue has remained uncharacteristically high and is a function of market volatility and customer mix. We expect this revenue to decline at some point but are unable to predict the timing.
Professional services revenue increased $63 million or 11%. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $204 million and $214 million, respectively, in 2008 and 2007.
Higher Education:
HE revenue was $540 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $543 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Services revenue increased $18 million, primarily from increases in software support revenue. Professional services revenue was $146 million in 2008, an increase of $7 million. In 2008, longer sales cycles caused software license fees and resale fees to decline by $15 million and $6 million, respectively. HE organic revenue decreased 1% in 2008.
Public Sector:
PS revenue was $411 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $410 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, organic revenue increased approximately 2%. Increases in software support revenue and processing revenue were offset by a decrease in professional services. Software license fees were $25 million in 2008, a decrease of $4 million.

Availability Services:
AS revenue was $1.57 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1.45 billion for the year ended December 31, 2007, an 8% increase. AS organic revenue increased approximately 3% in 2008. In North America, revenue grew 10% overall and 3% organically as strong growth in managed services was offset in part by a decrease in basic and advanced recovery services. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $6 million, an increase of $3 million from the prior year. Revenue in Europe grew 4% overall and 9% 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 46% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, largely the result of the higher volumes of the trading systems business previously mentioned. Also impacting the period were increased costs resulting from acquired businesses, an increase in FS and HE employee-related expenses supporting increased services revenue and an increase in AS facilities costs.
The increase in sales, marketing and administration expenses of $109 million was due primarily to increased costs resulting from acquired businesses, AS employee-related expenses and an insurance settlement in 2007, partially offset by decreases in HE and FS employee-related expenses and an unfavorable arbitration award in 2007 related to a customer dispute.
Because AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to measure product development expense as a percentage of revenue from software and processing solutions. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, software development expenses were unchanged at 8% of revenue from software and processing solutions.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was 5% for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The $27 million increase in 2008 was due primarily to capital expenditures supporting FS and AS and from the AS business acquired in the third quarter of 2007.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was 9% of total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $77 million in 2008 due primarily to the impact of recent acquisitions made by SunGard and a $57 million increase in impairment charges.
As a result of the change in the economic environment in the second half of 2008 and completion of the annual budgeting process, we reviewed our annual impairment test in December 2008 and concluded that the decline in expected future cash flows in one of our PS reporting units was sufficient to result in an impairment of goodwill of $128 million.
Interest expense was $599 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $645 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily due to interest rate decreases and the redemption of the senior floating rate notes in 2007, partially offset by the issuance of $500 million senior notes due 2015, a $500 million increase in the term loan and additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Other expense increased $25 million in the year ended December 31, 2008 due primarily to increased foreign currency translation losses primarily related to our Euro denominated term loan and losses on Euros purchased in advance of and fees associated with unused alternative financing commitments for the acquisition of GL TRADE S.A. (“GL TRADE”), partially offset by $28 million of expense in 2007 associated with the early retirement of the $400 million of senior floating rate notes due 2013, of which $19 million represented the retirement premium paid to noteholders.
We believe that our overall effective income tax rate is typically between 38% and 40%. The effective income tax rates for 2008 and 2007 were -18% and 5%, respectively. The rate in 2008 reflects a nondeductible goodwill impairment charge as well as an increase to our income tax reserve for tax matters for open years, some of which are currently under audit. The rate in 2007 reflects a change in the mix of taxable income in various jurisdictions and limitations on our ability to utilize certain foreign tax credits.
Dividends on SCCII’s cumulative preferred stock were $157 million and $139 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in the dividends is due to compounding since no dividends have been declared by SCCII.

Index to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006
Income from Operations:
Our total operating margin increased from 12% in 2006 to 13% in 2007 because of improved performance within FS and HE.
Financial Systems:
The FS operating margin was 21% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 20% for the prior year period. The $32 million increase in software license fees, improvement in the operating contribution from the growth in professional services revenue and operating leverage from other services revenue were partially offset by the impact of recently acquired businesses.
Higher Education:
The HE operating margin was 26% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 24% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Income from operations increased $25 million in 2007 primarily due to a $15 million increase in resale fees, improved operating profit contribution from services revenue, and a $4 million increase in software license fees.
Public Sector:
The PS operating margin was 20% for the year ended December 31, 2007, unchanged from the prior year period. Income from operations increased $5 million in 2007 primarily due to a $3 million increase in software license fees.
Availability Services:
The AS operating margin was 30% for the year ended December 31, 2007, unchanged from the prior year period. Income from operations increased $16 million in 2007 primarily due to improved operating profit contribution.
Revenue:
Total revenue was $4.90 billion for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $4.32 billion for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in total revenue in 2007 is due primarily to organic revenue growth of approximately 11%, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding three percentage points to the growth rate and changes in currency exchange rates adding approximately two percentage points overall. Excluding these items, organic growth would have been 6%.
Services revenue increased to $4.36 billion from $3.87 billion, representing approximately 89% of total revenue in 2007 compared to 90% in 2006. The revenue increase of $494 million in 2007 was due to organic revenue growth of $391 million across all segments and the impact of acquired revenue in FS.
Professional services revenue was $886 million and $767 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The $119 million increase was due primarily to FS organic and acquired revenue.
Revenue from license and resale fees was $396 million and $342 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and includes software license revenue of $293 million and $255 million, respectively.
Financial Systems:
FS revenue was $2.50 billion for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $2.07 billion for the year ended December 31, 2006. Organic revenue growth was approximately 17% in 2007, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding $121 million or five percentage points to the growth rate, which exceeded our expectations for the year and the future. Excluding this business, organic revenue growth was approximately 12% in 2007.

Professional services had the most significant contribution to overall FS growth, having increased $133 million or 29%. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $214 million and $182 million, respectively, in 2007 and 2006.
Higher Education:
HE revenue was $543 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $498 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Services revenue increased $26 million. In 2007, resale fees were $51 million, an increase of $15 million, and software license fees were $47 million, an increase of $4 million. HE organic revenue growth was approximately 9% in 2007.
Public Sector:
PS revenue was $410 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $395 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 4%, with changes in currency exchange rates adding approximately five percentage points. Organic revenue declined approximately 2%. Software license fees were $28 million in 2007, an increase of $3 million.
Availability Services:
AS revenue was $1.45 billion for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $1.36 billion for the year ended December 31, 2006, a 7% increase. AS organic revenue increased approximately 4% in 2007. In North America revenue grew 4% overall and 1% organically as strong growth in managed services was offset by a net decrease in basic and advanced recovery services. Revenue in Europe grew 17%, 8% excluding the impact of currency exchange rates.
Costs and Expenses:
Cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue remained unchanged at 46% for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The increase of $288 million was due primarily to an increase in FS employee-related and consultant expenses supporting increased services revenue and increased costs related to the higher volumes in one of our trading systems businesses.
Sales, marketing and administration expenses remained unchanged as a percentage of total revenue at 21% for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The increase of $128 million was due primarily to FS businesses acquired in the last twelve months and an unfavorable arbitration award related to a customer dispute, partially offset by reduced stock compensation expense and an insurance settlement.
Because AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to measure product development expense as a percentage of revenue from software and processing solutions. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, software development expenses were 8% and 9% of revenue from software and processing solutions, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was 5% and 6% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The $13 million increase in 2007 was due primarily to capital expenditures supporting AS.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was 9% of total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $39 million in 2007 due primarily to the impact of recent acquisitions made by SunGard and an impairment charge of $10 million.
Interest expense was $645 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $656 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily due to a lower effective interest cost due to the refinancing of our term loan facility in February 2007, partially offset by the additional borrowing on our Term loan prior to the early retirement of the senior floating rate notes and an increase in average borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
- 34 -
Index to Financial Statements
Other expense increased $39 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 due primarily to $28 million of expense associated with the early retirement of the $400 million of senior floating rate notes due 2013, of which $19 million represented the retirement premium paid to noteholders.
We believe that our overall effective income tax rate is typically between 38% and 40%. The effective income tax rates for 2007 and 2006 were 5% and 15%, respectively. The lower rates in 2007 and 2006 reflect the combination of our overall net loss in each year, limitations on our ability to utilize foreign tax credits resulting from the large amount of interest expense and, in 2007, changes in enacted tax rates in certain state and foreign jurisdictions. The result is a lower income tax benefit in each of 2007 and 2006 than would otherwise be expected.
Dividends on SCCII’s cumulative preferred stock were $139 million and $124 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in the dividends is due to compounding since no dividends have been declared by SCCII.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At March 31, 2009, cash and equivalents were $491 million, a decrease of $484 million from December 31, 2008. Cash flow used in operations was $72 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to cash flow provided by operations of $28 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in cash flow from operations is due primarily to an $84 million increase in working capital requirements related to lower deferred revenue balances and higher requirements for the clearing broker/dealer.
Net cash used in investing activities was $90 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009, comprised of cash paid for property and equipment and other assets, one business acquired in our PS segment and payment of a contingent purchase obligation.
Net cash used in financing activities was $316 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily related to repayment at maturity of the $250 million senior notes, repayment of $275 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility, partially offset by cash received from the new receivables facility (net of associated fees). At March 31, 2009, there was $225 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $250 million outstanding under the receivables facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion, which expire in February 2012 under which we pay fixed interest payments (at 1.78%) for the term of the swaps and, in turn, receive variable interest payments based on LIBOR.
At March 31, 2009, contingent purchase price obligations that depend upon the operating performance of certain acquired businesses could total $54 million, of which $4 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 $27 million.
At March 31, 2009, we have outstanding $8.56 billion in aggregate indebtedness, with additional borrowing capacity of $755 million under our revolving credit facility (after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit). In May 2009, we increased the size of our receivables facility by $66.5 million.
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.
At December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents were $975 million, an increase of $548 million from December 31, 2007, while availability under our revolving credit facility decreased $458 million to $483 million. Early in 2009, $250 million was used to repay the senior notes due 2009.
Cash flow from operations was $384 million in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to cash flow from operations of $689 million in the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in cash flow from operations is due primarily to increased working capital needed to replace the liquidity provided by the terminated accounts receivable securitization program, higher income tax payments and higher incentive compensation payments, partially offset by lower interest payments and improvement in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and goodwill impairment (“EBITDA” as defined and calculated below).
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 billion in 2008 and $564 million in 2007. We spent $721 million for six acquisitions during 2008, including $546 million for the acquisition of GL TRADE in our FS business, and $265 million for eleven acquisitions during 2007, including $161 million for the acquisition of VeriCenter in our AS business. Capital expenditures were $392 million in 2008 and $307 million in 2007.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 billion in 2008, the proceeds of which were used to fund the acquisition of GL TRADE, replace the liquidity provided by the terminated accounts receivable securitization facility and repay $250 million of senior notes due in January 2009.
In September 2008 the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the amount of our term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement by $500 million (“Incremental Term Loan”), and we issued at a $6 million discount $500 million aggregate principal amount of 10.625% Senior Notes due 2015.
We use interest rate swap agreements to manage the amount of our floating rate debt in order to reduce our exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with the senior secured credit facilities. We pay a stream of fixed interest payments for the term of the swap, and in turn, receive variable interest payments based on LIBOR (2.39% at December 31, 2008). The net receipt or payment from the interest rate swap agreements is included in interest expense. A summary of our interest rate swaps at December 31, 2008 follows:
Inception | Maturity | Notional Amount (in millions) | Interest rate paid | Interest rate received | ||||||
November 2005 | February 2009 | $ | 800 | 4.85 | % | LIBOR | ||||
February 2006 | February 2011 | $ | 800 | 5.00 | % | LIBOR | ||||

In early 2009, we entered into 3-year interest rate swaps that expire in February 2012 for an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion under which we pay fixed interest payments (at 1.78%) for the term of the swaps, and in turn, receive variable interest payments based on LIBOR.

At December 31, 2008, contingent purchase price obligations that depend upon the operating performance of certain acquired businesses could total $71 million, $20 million of which could be due in the next 12 months. We also have outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds that total approximately $25 million.
We are highly leveraged and our debt service requirements are significant. At December 31, 2008, our total indebtedness was $8.87 billion and we had $483 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility, after giving effect to certain outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at December 31, 2008, we had outstanding $77 million under our $450 million off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization program that was terminated in December 2008. We funded the $77 million outstanding during January 2009 with collections of receivables previously sold into the facility and repaid the $250 million senior notes that matured in January 2009.

The $26 million discount at December 31, 2008 will be amortized and included in interest expense over the remaining periods to maturity. |
(2) | Interest payments consist of interest on both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. Variable-rate debt consists primarily of the unhedged portion of the US$ term loan facility ($849 million at 3.58% at December 31, 2008), the euro denominated portion of the term loan facility ($181 million at 4.71% at December 31, 2008) and pound sterling denominated portion of the term loan facility ($119 million at 4.52% at December 31, 2008), the revolving credit facility ($500 million at 3.1%) and the Incremental Term Loan ($499 million at 6.75%). See Note 5 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The swap agreements put in place in early 2009 will increase the amount of interest payments in the table above by $2 million in 2009 and $5 million in 2010-2011. |
(3) | Purchase obligations include our estimate of the minimum outstanding obligations under noncancelable commitments to purchase goods or services. |
We expect our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit 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.
Depending on market conditions, SunGard, its Sponsors and their affiliates, may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by SunGard, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.
Receivables Facility
Overview
On March 27, 2009, SunGard AR Financing LLC, a newly-formed wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose financing subsidiary (“Financing”) of SunGard entered into a syndicated receivables facility with each of the financial institutions signatory thereto from time to time, as the Lenders and General Electric Capital Corporation, as a Lender, as the Swing Line Lender and as administrative agent (the “Receivables Facility”). The initial maximum commitment under the Receivables Facility is $250 million of which approximately $107 million is on a revolving basis and the balance is a term loan. The Receivables Facility has a term of three years.
- 36 -
Index to Financial Statements
Subject to obtaining the commitment of additional lenders, and the satisfaction of other customary conditions, the Receivables Facility may be increased up to a maximum amount of $500 million.
In May 2009, SunGard increased the size of its receivables facility by $66.5 million.
The full amount of the initial availability under the Receivables Facility was borrowed as of March 30, 2009. Subsidiaries of SunGard that participate in the Receivables Facility (“Sellers”) transfer their receivables as a true sale to Financing pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of March 27, 2009 (the “Receivables Sale Agreement”) and without recourse except for recourse for breaches of customary representations and warranties related to the receivables. Additional subsidiaries of SunGard may become parties to the Receivables Facility, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. Upon becoming parties, receivables originated by these subsidiaries will be included in the receivables balance eligible for funding under the Receivables Facility and will be included in the calculation of available funding thereunder.
Availability of funding under the Receivables Facility depends primarily upon the outstanding trade accounts receivable balance of the Sellers. Aggregate availability is determined by using a formula that reduces the gross receivables balance by factors that take into account historical default and dilution rates, excessive concentrations and average days outstanding and the costs of the facility.
Interest Rates and Fees
Under the Receivables Facility, Financing is generally required to pay interest on the amount of each advance at the one month LIBOR rate, adjusted for statutory reserves, plus 4.50% per annum. Financing is required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the Receivables Facility of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. In addition, SunGard, acting as the initial receivables servicer, services, administers and collects receivables transferred pursuant to the Receivables Facility. Under the Receivables Facility, SunGard receives a monthly servicing fee of 1.00% per annum of the daily average outstanding balance of the receivables under such facility, payable monthly in arrears by Financing.
The Receivables Facility may be terminated for material breaches of representations and warranties, bankruptcies of any Seller, the collection agent or Financing, a default by any Seller or Financing in the performance of any payment required to be made under the transaction documents, a merger or similar transaction involving Financing, cross acceleration under our other facilities, a change of control affecting SunGard, and a failure to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, among other reasons.
Guaranty and Security
SunGard unconditionally guarantees the performance of the Sellers’ obligations under the Receivables Sale Agreement. All obligations under the Receivables Facility are secured by the receivables purchased by Financing under the Receivables Sale Agreement.
The Transaction
As a result of the Transaction (August 11, 2005), we are highly leveraged and our debt service requirements are significant. Below is a summary of SunGard’s debt instruments.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (a) a base rate that is the higher of (1) the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) LIBOR based on the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of such borrowing for either 30, 60, 90 or 180 days. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, we pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments.
All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by SunGard Holdco LLC and by substantially all domestic, 100% wholly owned subsidiaries.
- 37 -
Index to Financial Statements
We are required to repay installments on the loans under the term loan facilities in quarterly principal amounts of 0.25% of their funded total principal amount through March 2013, with the remaining amount payable in May 2013, provided, however, that such date will automatically become February 2014 if all the Senior Notes due 2013 are extended, renewed or refinanced on or prior to May 15, 2013.
The senior secured credit facilities also require us to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with excess cash flow and proceeds from certain asset sales, casualty and condemnation events, other borrowings and certain financings under our accounts receivable securitization program. Any required payments would be applied pro rata to the term loan lenders and to installments of the term loan facilities in direct order of maturity.
Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity in August 2011. As of March 31, 2009, we had $755 million available under the revolving credit facility, after giving effect to certain letters of credit.
The second amendment to the Credit Agreement in September 2008 changed certain terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loan. Borrowings can be at either a Base Rate or a Eurocurrency Rate. Base Rate borrowings reset daily and bear interest at a minimum of 4.0% plus a spread of 2.75%. Eurocurrency borrowings can be made for periods of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days and bear interest at a minimum of 3.0% plus a spread of 3.75%. The interest rate at March 31, 2009 was 6.75%.
The senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our (and most or all of our subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, pay dividends and distributions on or repurchase capital stock, create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, repay subordinated indebtedness, make investments, loans or advances, make capital expenditures, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain material agreements, change our lines of business, sell assets and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, under the senior secured credit facilities, we are required to satisfy certain total leverage and interest coverage ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2009.
2009 Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On June 9, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, (a) extends the maturity date of $2.5 billion of its dollar-denominated term loans, £40 million of pound sterling-denominated term loans, and €120 million of euro-denominated term loans to February 28, 2016, (b) reduces existing revolving credit commitments to $829 million and extends the termination date of $580 million of revolving credit commitments to May 11, 2013, and (c) amends certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including provisions relating to negative covenants and financial covenants.
Interest rate spreads with respect to the extended term loans and interest rate spreads (and letter of credit fees) with respect to the 2013 revolving credit facility will be the applicable rate as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement and may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. All other interest rate spreads and fees remain unchanged.
Based on the leverage ratio for the period ended March 31, 2009, the current interest spread for extended LIBOR based loans is 3.625% and for 2013 revolving credit loans is 3.25%. The commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the 2013 revolving credit commitments is 0.75%.
Senior Notes due 2009 and 2014
On January 15, 2004, we issued $500 million of senior unsecured notes, of which $250 million 3.75% notes were due and paid in full in January 2009 and $250 million are 4.875% notes due 2014, which are subject to certain standard covenants. As a result of the Transaction, these senior notes became collateralized on an equal and ratable basis with loans under the senior secured credit facilities and are guaranteed by all subsidiaries that guarantee the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015. The senior notes due 2014 are recorded at $231 million as of March 31, 2009, reflecting the remaining unamortized discount caused by the Transaction. The $19 million discount will be amortized and included in interest expense.
Senior Notes due 2013 and 2015 and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015
The senior notes due 2013 and 2015 are senior unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to future debt and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior notes, including the senior subordinated notes. The senior notes (i) rank equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt and other obligations that are not, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior notes, (ii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior notes. All obligations under the senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all domestic, 100% wholly owned subsidiaries of SunGard.
The senior subordinated notes due 2015 are unsecured senior subordinated obligations that are subordinated in right of payment to the existing and future senior debt, including the senior secured credit facilities, the senior notes due 2014 and the senior notes due 2013 and 2015. The senior subordinated notes (i) rank equally in right of payment to all future senior subordinated debt, (ii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior subordinated notes, and (iv) rank senior in right of payment to all future debt and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior subordinated notes.

Index to Financial Statements
The senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 are redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any time at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in the applicable indentures. In addition, upon a change of control, we are required to make an offer to redeem all of the senior notes and senior subordinated notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indentures governing the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 contain a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, create liens securing certain debt without securing the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 or senior subordinated notes due 2015, as applicable, sell certain assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
The senior notes due 2015 contain registration rights by which SunGard has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to register with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission notes having substantially identical terms. SunGard will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer to be completed or, if required, to have one or more shelf registration statements declared effective, within 360 days after the issue date of the senior notes due 2015.
If SunGard fails to meet this target (a “registration default”) with respect to the senior notes due 2015, the annual interest rate on the senior notes due 2015 will increase by 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0% per year over the applicable interest rate. If the registration default is corrected or, if it is not corrected, upon the two year anniversary of the issue date of the senior notes due 2015, the applicable interest rate on such senior notes due 2015 will revert to the original level.
Off-Balance Sheet Debt—Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
In December 2008, we terminated our accounts receivable securitization program. Under the accounts receivable facility, eligible receivables were sold to third-party conduits through a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote special purpose entity that is not consolidated for financial reporting purposes. We serviced the receivables and charged a monthly servicing fee at market rates. The third-party conduits were sponsored by certain lenders under our senior secured credit facilities.
Sales of receivables under the facility qualified as sales under applicable accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, receivables totaling $363 million net of applicable allowances, and the corresponding borrowings, totaling $77 million, are excluded from our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. Our retained interest in these receivables is $285 million as of December 31, 2008. Expenses associated with the receivables facilities totaled $25 million for 2008, which related to the loss on sale of the receivables and the discount on retained interest, and is recorded in other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. The loss on sale of receivables was determined at the date of transfer based upon the fair value of the assets sold and the interests retained based on the present value of expected cash flows.
On March 27, 2009, we entered into a new accounts receivable securitization program (see Liquidity and Capital Resources—Receivables Facility).
Covenant Compliance
Our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing our senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and our senior subordinated notes due 2015 contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:
• | incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, |
• | pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments, |
• | make certain investments, |
- 39 -
Index to Financial Statements
• | sell certain assets, |
• | create liens, |
• | consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and |
• | enter into certain transactions with our affiliates. |
In addition, pursuant to the Principal Investor Agreement by and among our Holding Companies and the Sponsors, we are required to obtain approval from certain Sponsors prior to the declaration or payment of any dividend by us or any of our subsidiaries (other than dividends payable to us or any of our wholly owned subsidiaries).
Under the senior secured credit facilities, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests. As of March 31, 2009, we are in compliance with the financial and nonfinancial covenants. While we believe that we will remain in compliance, our continued ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and there is no assurance that we will meet those ratios and tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the senior secured credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and goodwill impairment (“EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP measure used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in the indentures governing the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 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 including supplementary information concerning Adjusted EBITDA is 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 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 does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we may consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the indentures allows us to add back certain non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income (loss). However, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. Further, our debt instruments require that Adjusted EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss, which is a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA of SunGard as defined in our debt agreements. SCC and SCCII are neither parties nor guarantors to the debt agreements. The terms and related calculations are defined in the indentures.

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended March 31, 2009 are as follows:
Covenant Requirements | Actual Ratios | |||
Senior secured credit facilities(1) | ||||
Minimum Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio | 1.65x | 2.67x | ||
Maximum total debt to Adjusted EBITDA | 6.75x | 5.04x | ||
Senior Notes due 2013 and 2015 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 | 2.69x | ||
(1) | Our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain an Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio starting at a minimum of 1.65x for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2008 and increasing over time to 1.70x by the end of 2009, to 1.80x by the end of 2010 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 December 31, 2008, we are required to maintain a consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 6.75x and decreasing over time to 6.25x by the end of 2009 and to 4.75x 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 $5.75 billion under credit facilities (inclusive of amounts outstanding under our senior credit facilities from time to time; as of March 31, 2009, we had $4.72 billion outstanding under our term loan facilities and available commitments of $755 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 2015 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 program. |
EFFECTOF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP FAS 107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 increases the frequency of fair value disclosures from annual only to quarterly, in an effort to provide financial statement users with more timely and transparent information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. FSP 107-1 is effective as of April 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141R”), which changes accounting principles for business acquisitions. SFAS No. 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 No. 141R is effective for business combinations and adjustments to all acquisition-related deferred tax asset and liability balances occurring after December 31, 2008. This standard could have a significant impact on our 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
- 42 -
Index to Financial Statements
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 financial statements included in this filing are prepared in accordance with SFAS 160 and all prior period information has been retrospectively adjusted.
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. We do not expect the adoption of 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 SFAS No. 142, 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. We do not expect the adoption of FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold (lock up) the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to the asset (a defensive asset), assets that the acquirer will never actually use, as well as assets that will be used by the acquirer during a transition period when the intention of the acquirer is to discontinue the use of those assets. EITF 08-7 is effective as of January 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of EITF 08-7 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
QUANTITATIVEAND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURESABOUT 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, 2009, we had total debt of $8.56 billion, including $5.20 billion of variable rate debt. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements which fixed the interest rates for $3.5 billion of our variable rate debt. Swap agreements with a notional value of $800 million effectively fix our interest rates at 5.00% and expire in February 2011. Swap agreements expiring in February 2010 and 2011 each have a notional value of $750 million and, effectively, fix our interest rates at 2.71% and 3.17%, respectively. Swap agreements expiring in February 2012 have a notional value of $1.2 billion and effectively fix our interest rates at 1.78%. Our remaining variable rate debt of $1.70 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 $17 million per year. Upon the expiration of each interest rate swap agreement in February 2010, February 2011 and February 2012, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $25 million, $40 million and $52 million per year, respectively.
At December 31, 2008, we had total debt of $8.87 billion, including $5.25 billion of variable rate debt. We entered into interest rate swap agreements which fixed the interest rates for $3.1 billion of our variable rate debt. Our swap agreements each have notional values of $800 million or $750 million (see table above), and effectively fix our interest rates at a weighted average rate of 3.96%, and expire in February 2009, 2010 or 2011. In early 2009, we entered into additional three-year interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount of $1.2 billion, under which we are required to pay a stream of fixed rate interest payments of 1.78%, and in turn, receive variable interest payments based on LIBOR. After the early 2009 activity, our remaining variable rate debt of $1.75 billion is subject to changes in underlying interest rates and our interest payments will also change as a result of market changes. During the period when our interest rate swap agreements are effective, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $17 million per year. Upon the expiration of interest rate swap agreements in February 2010, 2011 and 2012, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $25 million, $40 million and $52 million per year, respectively. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition, at December 31, 2008, one of our U.K. subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the pound sterling, has $181 million of debt which is denominated in euros. A 10% change in the euro-pound sterling exchange rate would result in a charge or credit in the statement of operations of approximately $19 million.
During 2008, approximately 29% of our revenue was from customers outside the United States with approximately 76% of this revenue coming from customers located in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. Only a portion of the revenue from customers outside the United States is denominated in other currencies, the majority being pounds sterling and euros. Revenue and expenses of our foreign operations are generally denominated in their respective local currencies. We continue to monitor our exposure to currency exchange rates.

ITEM 6. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This section discusses the principles underlying our executive compensation policies and decisions. It provides qualitative information regarding the manner in which compensation is earned by our executive officers and places in context the data presented in the tables that follow. In addition, in this section, we address the compensation paid or awarded during fiscal year 2008 to our chief executive officer (principal executive officer), chief financial officer (principal financial officer) and three other executive officers who were the most highly compensated executive officers in fiscal year 2008. We refer to these five executive officers as our “Named Executive Officers.”
Our executive compensation program is overseen and administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by our Board and has responsibility for discharging the responsibilities of the Board of Directors relating to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers and related duties. Management, including our chief executive officer, or CEO, evaluates a number of factors in developing cash and equity compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee for its consideration and approval. Following this in-depth review and in consultation with management, our CEO makes compensation recommendations for our corporate executive officers and our Named Executive Officers to the Compensation Committee based on his evaluation of each officer’s performance, expectations for the coming year and market compensation data, and our CEO also provides an overview of compensation for other executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews these proposals and makes all final compensation decisions for corporate executive officers and Named Executive Officers by exercising its discretion in accepting, modifying or rejecting any management recommendations, including any recommendations from our CEO.

Objectives of Our Compensation Program
Our executive compensation program is intended to meet three principal objectives:
• | to provide competitive compensation packages to attract and retain superior executive talent; |
• | to reward successful performance by the executive and the Company by linking a significant portion of compensation to future financial and business results; and |
• | to further align the interests of executive officers with those of our ultimate parent company stockholders by providing long-term equity compensation and meaningful equity ownership. |
To meet these objectives, our compensation program balances short-term and long-term performance goals and mixes fixed and at-risk compensation that is directly related to stockholder value and overall performance.
Our compensation program for senior executives, including the Named Executive Officers, is designed to reward Company performance. The compensation program is intended to reinforce the importance of performance and accountability at various operational levels, and therefore a significant portion of total compensation is in both cash and stock-based compensation incentives that reward performance as measured against established goals, i.e., “pay for performance.” Each element of our compensation program is reviewed individually and considered collectively with the other elements of our compensation program to ensure that it is consistent with the goals and objectives of both that particular element of compensation and our overall compensation program. For each Named Executive Officer, we look at each individual’s contributions to our overall results, our operating and financial performance compared with the targeted goals, and our size and complexity compared with companies in our compensation peer group.
Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program
In 2008, the principal elements of compensation for Named Executive Officers were:
• | annual cash compensation consisting of base salary and performance-based incentive bonuses; |
• | long-term equity incentive compensation; |
• | benefits and perquisites; and |
• | severance compensation and change of control protection. |
Annual Cash Compensation
Management, including our CEO, develops recommendations for annual executive cash compensation plans by using compensation survey data for a broad set of organizations of comparable business, size and complexity, and then compares the survey results to publicly available compensation data for a group of companies we consider to be our peer group. We believe that the compensation practices of these companies provide us with appropriate benchmarks because they also provide technology products and services to a variety of customers and compete with us for executives and other employees.
The survey data comes from three sources: Radford Executive Benchmark Survey, which focuses on technology companies; Towers Perrin Compensation Data Bank, which focuses on a broader array of organizations including professional services, high-tech and manufacturing companies; and CHiPS, which has a technology industry focus. For purposes of establishing compensation recommendations, we use a blend of the Radford, Towers Perrin and CHiPS survey data to reflect our size and industry. From the Radford survey data, we assessed compensation from 220 public and private companies with annual revenues above $1 billion, from the Towers Perrin survey data we assessed compensation of 80 companies with annual revenues in the range of $3 billion to $6 billion, and from the CHiPS survey data we assessed compensation from 66 companies with annual revenues between $1 billion to $10 billion.
The companies we consider within our peer group are financial services and software companies of similar industry and revenue as the Company, and some of which various businesses within the Company compete against for business and for talent. Peer group compensation data is limited to publicly available information and therefore generally does not provide precise comparisons by position as offered by the more comprehensive survey data from Radford, Towers Perrin and CHiPS. As a result, the peer group data provides limited guidance and does not dictate the setting of executive officers’ compensation. The following companies comprised our peer group in 2008:
Automatic Data Processing, Inc. BMC Software, Inc. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Computer Sciences Corporation Convergys Corporation | DST Systems, Inc. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. Fiserv, Inc. Iron Mountain Incorporated | MasterCard Incorporated Paychex, Inc. SEI Investments Company The Thomson Corporation The Western Union Company |

Index to Financial Statements
Our annual cash compensation packages for executive officers include base salary and a performance-based executive incentive compensation (“EIC”) bonus. We generally target total cash compensation at approximately 85% of the blended survey data. Because we pay for performance, we weight the cash compensation more heavily toward the performance incentives and less toward the base salary.
Base Salary. For base salary, we generally target the 60th percentile of the blended survey data to provide a fixed compensation based on competitive market practice that is not subject to performance risk while also considering other factors, such as individual and company performance. We review the base salaries for each Named Executive Officer annually as well as at the time of any promotion or significant change in job responsibilities. Base salaries are determined for each Named Executive Officer based on his or her position and responsibility by using survey data. In 2008, we provided salary increases for the Named Executive Officers of 2.0% to 5.6% to more closely align base salaries with the targeted 60th percentile of market data for each position. Salary for each Named Executive Officer for calendar year 2008 is reported in Table 1—Summary Compensation Table below.
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation. The annual EIC bonus for executive officers is designed to reward our executives for the achievement of annual financial goals related to the business for which they have responsibility. A minimum incentive may be earned at threshold EIC goals, which are set generally at levels that reflect an improvement over prior year results, and no payment is awarded if the threshold goal is not achieved. On-target EIC goals are set generally at levels that reflect budgeted performance. Consistent with our focus on pay for performance, additional amounts can be earned when actual performance exceeds on-target performance. Additional mid-range goals between threshold and target with corresponding incentive amounts are also established. The Company may revise or cancel an executive’s EIC at any time as a result of a significant change in circumstances or the occurrence of an unusual event that was not anticipated when the performance plan was approved. Internal EBITA targets are adjusted to take into account acquisitions and/or dispositions which were not included in the budgeted EIC targets.
The financial measures used for the 2008 EIC bonuses for the Named Executive Officers were one or both of the following: (i) EBITA, which represents actual earnings before interest, taxes and amortization, noncash stock compensation expense, management fees paid to the Sponsors and certain other unusual items (“Internal EBITA”) and (ii) budgeted revenue growth of the Company’s business segments. Internal EBITA and budgeted revenue growth were selected as the most appropriate measures upon which to base the 2008 EIC bonuses for the Named Executive Officers because they are important metrics that management and the Sponsors use to evaluate the performance of the Company. For Messrs. Ashton and Finders, EIC bonuses earned on the achievement of EBITA goals were subject to a multiplier that, depending upon the achievement of year-over-year revenue growth goals of the Financial Systems segment, could result in the executives receiving less than or more than their EBITA incentive amount. The multiplier ranged from 0 to 1.5, meaning that revenue growth results could reduce or increase the EBITA incentive amount; with a multiplier of 1 resulting in no adjustment to the EBITA incentive.
The following table provides the 2008 threshold, mid-range, and on-target Internal EBITA goals for the Named Executive Officers and the EIC bonuses paid to them based on actual results from 2008:

Long-Term Equity Compensation
We intend for our equity program to be the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives and rewarding our executive officers, managers and key employees. Because of the direct relationship between the value of an option or RSU award and the value of our stock, we believe that granting options and RSUs is the best method of motivating our executive officers to manage our Company in a manner that is consistent with the interests of our Company and our stockholders. We also regard our equity program as a key retention tool. Retention is an important factor in our determination of the type of award to grant and the number of underlying Units to grant.
In 2005 in connection with the Transaction, executive officers and other managers and key employees were granted a combination of time-based and performance-based options to purchase equity in the Parent Companies. The size of these initial option grants were commensurate with the executive’s position, performance and tenure with the Company and were agreed to in connection with the Transaction. These grants were intended to cover the period between the grant date and December 31, 2010, absent promotions or other unusual circumstances. Accordingly, no Named Executive Officers has received equity grants since 2005 other than Mr. Finders, who received a 2007 option grant due to his promotion to Division Chief Executive Officer, Financial Systems. Additional information on all outstanding grants to the Named Executive Officers is shown in Table 3—Outstanding Equity Awards at 2008 Fiscal Year-End below.
Performance-based options granted to the Named Executive Officers vest upon the attainment of certain annual or cumulative earnings goals based on Internal EBITA targets for the Company during a specified performance period, generally five or six years. Based upon actual year-end 2008 results, 3.86% of each 2005 performance-based option award vested out of a maximum of 16.67% available to vest each of six years in the performance period, and 4.63% of each 2007 performance-based option award vested out of a maximum of 20% available to vest each of five years in the performance period. The annual vesting goals for the performance-based options were agreed to by the Sponsors and senior management in 2005 in connection with the Transaction and require sustained and superior company-wide performance in each of the years in the performance period but allow for additional vesting for over performance.
Benefits and Perquisites
We offer a variety of health and welfare programs to all eligible employees, including the Named Executive Officers. The Named Executive Officers are eligible for the same benefit programs on the same basis as the rest of the Company’s employees in the particular country in which the Named Executive Officer resides, including medical and dental care coverage, life insurance coverage, short-and long-term disability and a 401(k) or defined contribution pension plan.
The Company limits the use of perquisites as a method of compensation and provides executive officers with only those perquisites that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The perquisites provided to the Named Executive Officers include leased automobiles and related tax gross-ups and are quantified in Table 1—Summary Compensation Table below.

Employment Agreements, Severance Compensation & Change of Control Protection
In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into definitive employment agreements with certain senior managers, including the Named Executive Officers. The executives with such agreements are eligible for payments if employment terminates or if there is a change of control, as described under “Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control” below. The agreements were designed to retain executives and provide continuity of management in the event of an actual or threatened change of control.
The agreements include the following terms:
• | A term through December 31, 2010, with one-year automatic renewals unless terminated on one year’s advance notice. |
• | The same base salary as that payable by the Company prior to the Transaction, subject to annual adjustments, if any, made by the board of directors or the compensation committee of the board, in consultation with the chief executive officer. See “Base Salary” above for a description of the determination of base salary for the Company’s senior management. |
• | The opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus provided that the aggregate bonus opportunity for the senior management as a group will be consistent with that provided by the Company to executives as a group prior to the Transaction, although the board of directors may re-align the performance metrics and other terms in consultation with the chief executive officer. See “Performance-Based Incentive Compensation” above for a description of the determination of cash bonuses for the Company’s senior management. |
• | Employee benefits consistent with those provided by the Company to executives prior to the Transaction, including the right to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs. |
• | Participation in the equity plan of SCC and SCCII. |
• | The right to receive certain severance payments, including upon a termination without “cause,” a resignation for “good reason” or a change of control, consistent with the severance payments provided for under the change of control agreement with the Company in effect prior to the Transaction. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” below. |
• | Certain restrictive covenants (noncompetition, confidentiality and nonsolicitation) that continue for applicable post-termination periods. |
• | The right to receive a tax gross-up payment should any payment provided under the agreement be subject to the excise tax under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. |
In addition, under the terms of the option awards made to executives, acceleration of vesting of options occurs if a change of control takes place or due to certain other termination events. These arrangements and potential post-employment termination compensation payments are described in more detail in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” below.
Accounting and Tax Implications
The accounting and tax treatment of particular forms of compensation do not materially affect the Compensation Committee’s compensation decisions. However, we evaluate the effect of such accounting and tax treatment on an ongoing basis and will make appropriate modifications to compensation policies where appropriate.
Stock Ownership
The Company does not have a formal policy requiring stock ownership by management. Our senior managers, including the Named Executive Officers, however, have committed significant personal capital to our Company in connection with the Transaction. See “Beneficial Ownership” under ITEM 12 below.
2009 Compensation Update
Our normal schedule would have called for approval of salary and bonus adjustments during the February 2009 Compensation Committee meeting. However, because the economic outlook for 2009 remains uncertain and in order to help best position our Company to emerge from this economic crisis stronger, we determined that there will be no increases of salary or EIC performance bonus for the Named Executive Officers and other senior executives in 2009.

(1) | No option awards were granted in 2008 or 2006 to any of the Named Executive Officers. The amounts in this column reflect the dollar amount recorded for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, as applicable, in accordance with FAS 123(R), of awards granted pursuant to the SunGard 2005 Management Incentive Plan. The amounts for all of the Named Executive Officers thus include amounts from awards granted on August 12, 2005 at an exercise price of $18.00 per Unit and for Mr. Finders additional amounts from awards granted on September 21, 2007 at an exercise price of $20.72 per Unit. Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are included in Note 7 of the Notes to Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Because these amounts represent expense for financial reporting purposes, they are not representative of the actual value that the Named Executive Officer would receive upon exercise of these options. |

(5) | Mr. Finders’ compensation was paid in Swiss Francs (CHF). All 2008 amounts have been converted into U.S. dollars at the currency exchange rate of 0.832260, which rate was used for purposes of the Company’s 2008 operating budget and for purposes of establishing 2008 compensation, and all 2007 amounts have been converted into U.S. dollars at the 2007 average annual currency exchange rate of 0.83424. For Mr. Finders, the 2007 salary represents a blended rate of $410,000 from January 1 to March 31, 2007 and $500,000 from April 1 to December 31, 2007. In April 2007, Mr. Finders received a promotion and a salary increase commensurate with his new responsibilities. Compensation information for fiscal year 2006 is not provided for Mr. Finders because he was not a Named Executive Officer in that year. |
(6) | Mr. Muratore retired on February 2, 2009. Mr. Muratore had been Executive Vice President since 2002 and most recently serving as acting Group Chief Executive Officer, SunGard Higher Education from September 2008 until his retirement. He was Senior Vice President from 1998 to 2002, Chief Executive Officer of the SunGard Financial Systems Group from 1995 to 1998 and Chief Executive Officer of the SunGard Computer Services Group from 1990 to 1995. From 1985 to 1990, Mr. Muratore held various senior executive positions with us. |
Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2008
To provide long-term equity incentives following the Transaction, the SunGard 2005 Management Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) was established. The Plan authorizes the issuance of equity subject to awards made under the Plan for up to 60 million shares of Class A common stock and 7 million shares of Class L common stock of SCC and 2.5 million shares of preferred stock of SCCII.
Under the Plan, we have granted awards of time-based and performance-based options and RSUs. Since August 2005 we have granted options to purchase Units under the Plan (“Unit Options”). Beginning in 2007, awards granted under the Plan generally consisted of RSUs and options to purchase SCC Class A-8 common stock (“Class A Options” and together with Unit Options, “options”). Unit Options are exercisable only for whole Units and cannot be separately exercised for the individual classes of stock. All awards under the Plan are granted at fair market value on the date of grant.
Time-based options vest over five years as follows: 25% one year after date of grant, and 1/48th of the remaining balance each month thereafter for 48 months. Time-based RSUs vest over five years as follows: 10% one year after date of grant, and 1/48th of the remaining balance each month thereafter for 48 months. Performance-based options and RSUs vest upon the attainment of certain annual or cumulative earnings goals based on Internal EBITA targets for the Company during a specified performance period, generally five or six years. Time-based and performance-based options can partly or fully vest upon a change of control and certain other termination events, subject to certain conditions, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Once vested, time-based and performance-based RSUs become payable in shares upon the first to occur of a change of control, separation from service without cause, or the date that is five years after the date of grant.

• | a lump sum cash payment of all accrued compensation (as defined in the agreement) as of December 31, 2008; |
• | a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the applicable multiplier multiplied by the Company’s cost of the Named Executive Officer’s medical, dental and vision coverage in effect on December 31, 2008, as increased by a tax gross-up payment equal to the income and FICA tax imposed on such payment; |

• | all vested and unvested time and performance options are forfeited. |

In order to receive any of the above described severance benefits, the Named Executive Officer is required to execute a release of all claims against the Company. In order to exercise stock options, the Named Executive Officer must execute a certificate of compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in his employment agreement and all other agreements.
With the exception of Mr. Muratore, the tables below reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the Named Executive Officers in the event of termination of such executive’s employment. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2008, and thus includes amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the Named Executive Officers upon their termination. The actual amounts to be paid, if any, can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company. Effective as of February 2, 2009, Mr. Muratore retired from his position as an executive officer of the Company. The table for Mr. Muratore reflects the actual amount of compensation he received from the Company in connection with his retirement.

Michael K. Muratore—Termination Payments and Benefits
Mr. Muratore voluntarily retired from the Company effective as of February 2, 2009 and in connection with his retirement, Mr. Muratore waived his right to receive certain compensation from the Company. Consistent with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Muratore entered into a consulting agreement with the Company, effective February 3, 2009 to February 2, 2010.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Our Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Connaughton, Greene and Marren, who were each appointed to the Compensation Committee in 2005 in connection with the Transaction, and Ms. Richardson, who was appointed to the Compensation Committee in March 2008. None of these individuals has been at any time an officer or employee of our Company. During 2008, we had no compensation committee “interlocks”—meaning that it was not the case that an executive officer of ours served as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity and an executive officer of the other entity served as a director or member of our Compensation Committee.

ITEM 7. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPSAND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to our Global Business Conduct and Compliance Program, all employees and directors (including our NEOs) who have, or whose immediate family members have, any financial interests in other entities where such involvement is or may appear to cause a conflict of interest situation are required to report to us the conflict. If the conflict involves a director or executive officer or is considered material, the situation will be reviewed by the Compliance Committee. The Compliance Committee will then consult with the Audit Committee and determine whether a conflict exists or will exist, and if so, what action should be taken to resolve the conflict or potential conflict. In other cases, conflicts are reviewed and resolved by the Compliance Committee. Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, the Holing Companies and the Sponsors entered into a principal investor agreement which requires affiliated party transactions involving the Sponsors to be approved by the majority of Sponsors not involved in the affiliated party transaction.
Other than as described under this heading, the Company has not adopted any formal policies or procedures for the review, approval or ratification of certain related-party transactions that may be required to be reported under the SEC disclosure rules. Such transactions, if and when they are proposed or have occurred, have traditionally been (and will continue to be) reviewed by the Audit Committee (other than the committee members involved, if any) on a case-by-case basis.
On August 11, 2005, upon completion of the Transaction, SunGard and the Holding Companies entered into a management agreement with affiliates of each of the Sponsors pursuant to which such entities or their affiliates will provide management consultant services, including financial, managerial and operational advice and implementation of strategies for improving the operating, marketing and financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the management agreement, affiliates of the Sponsors receive quarterly annual management fees equal to 1% of the Company’s quarterly “EBITDA,” as defined in the Indenture dated August 11, 2005 governing the senior notes due 2013 (but assuming the management fee had not been paid for purposes of such calculation), and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them or their affiliates in connection with the provision of management consulting services pursuant to the agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company recorded $14 million, $17 million and $23.3 million respectively relating to management fees.
In the event that the management agreement is terminated, the Sponsors will receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the annual management fees that would have been payable for the remainder of the term of the management agreement. The initial term of the management agreement is ten years, and it extends annually for one year unless the Sponsors or SunGard and the Holding Companies provide notice to the other. Finally, the management agreement provides that affiliates of the Sponsors will be entitled to receive a fee equal to 1% of the gross transaction value in connection with certain subsequent financing, acquisition, disposition and change of control transactions in excess of a threshold amount.
In addition to serving as a director, Mr. Mann is currently an employee of the Company and accordingly in 2008 received salary and benefits. See note 2 to the table under “Director Compensation.”
Our Sponsors and/or their respective affiliates have from time to time entered into, and may continue to enter into, arrangements with us to use our products and services in the ordinary course of their business, which often result in revenues to us in excess of $120,000 annually.
Two of our Sponsors, Goldman Sachs & Co. and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., and/or their respective affiliates served as co-managers in connection with both SunGard’s recent debt offering of $500,000,000 10.625% Senior Notes due 2015 and Incremental Term Loan. In connection with serving in such capacity, Goldman Sachs & Co. and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. received customary fees and expenses in amounts of $25.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Parent Companies are privately held corporations with identical boards of directors. Our directors (other than Messrs. Conde and Mann) are not independent because of their affiliations with funds which hold more than 5% equity interests in the Parent Companies. Messrs. Conde and Mann are not independent directors because they are currently employed by the Company.

ITEM 11. | DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANTS’ SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED |
Overview of our Capital Stock
The authorized capital of SCC consists of 600,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of 35,000,000 shares of Class A-1 common stock; 35,000,000 shares of Class A-2 common stock; 35,000,000 shares of Class A-3 common stock; 29,000,000 shares of Class A-4 common stock; 35,000,000 shares of Class A-5 common stock; 22,000,000 shares of Class A-6 common stock; 35,000,000 shares of Class A-7 common stock; 324,000,000 shares of Class A-8 common stock (collectively all such Classes of common A stock are referred to as “Class A common stock”); and 50,000,000 shares of Class L common stock (“Class L common stock”). As of April 15, 2009, SCC had a total of 254,485,515 outstanding shares of Class A common stock and 28,275,865 outstanding shares of Class L common stock, which was held by 174 stockholders and 171 stockholders, respectively. The authorized capital of SCCII consists of 15,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of 1,000 shares of common stock and 14,999,000 shares of 11.5% cumulative preferred stock (“preferred stock”). As of the date hereof, all of the outstanding SCCII common stock is held by SCC and, as of April 15, 2009, SCCII had a total of 9,787,812 outstanding shares of preferred stock, which was held by 171 stockholders. Additionally, as of April 15, 2009, we have outstanding options to acquire 28,466,585 Units, which are comprised of 37,006,561 shares of Class A common stock, 4,110,575 shares of Class L common stock and 1,423,329 shares of preferred stock to approximately 483 of our employees, outstanding options to acquire 9,182,120 shares of Class A-8 common stock to approximately 781 of our employees, and 3,649,347 outstanding RSUs granting the conditional right to receive 4,744,151 shares of our Class A common stock, 526,966 shares of our Class L common stock and 182,467 shares of preferred stock to approximately 783 employees.
Common Stock
SCC has nine classes of common stock, designated as Class L and Class A-1 through Class A-8. Class L common stock has substantially identical terms as Class A common stock except as follows:
• | Class L common stock has a liquidation preference: distributions by SCC are first allocated to Class L common stock up to its $81 per share liquidation preference plus an amount sufficient to generate a rate of return of 13.5% per annum, compounded quarterly (“Class L Liquidation Preference”). All holders of common stock, as a single class, share in any remaining distributions pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of common stock; |
• | each share of Class L common stock automatically converts into Class A common stock upon an initial public offering or other registration of the Class A common stock and is convertible into Class A common stock upon a majority vote of the holders of the outstanding Class L common stock upon a change of control or other realization events. If converted, each share of Class L common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock plus an additional number of shares of Class A common stock determined by dividing the Class L Liquidation Preference at the date of conversion by the adjusted market value of one share of Class A common stock as set forth in the certificate of incorporation of SCC; and |
• | holders of Class A common stock and Class L common stock will generally vote as a single class, except that the election of directors is structured to permit the holders of one or more specific classes of Class A common stock to elect separate directors. |
Preferred stock
SCCII currently has one class of preferred stock. The preferred stock is non-voting and ranks senior in right of payment to SCCII’s common stock. Each share of preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $100 (the initial “Class P Liquidation Preference”) plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends accruing at a rate of 11.5% per annum of the initial Class P Liquidation Preference ($100 per share), compounded quarterly. The preferred stock is not entitled to any other participation in the increase in value of our Company. The preferred stock will not be convertible or exchangeable into any other shares of stock at the option of the holder and is not redeemable at the option of any holder. Holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, at a rate of 11.5% per annum of the initial Class P Liquidation Preference ($100 per share) payable quarterly in arrears. Dividends on the preferred stock will accrue whether or not dividends are declared.

2005 Management Incentive Plan
Our 2005 Management Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) is not designed to raise capital. Rather, the Plan has been established to advance the interests of the Company and its affiliates by providing for the grant to participants of stock-based and other incentive awards. While the Plan provides for a number of different types of awards, including stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock, RSUs, performance awards, cash awards, and certain other awards that are convertible into or exchangeable for stock, the RSUs are the only type of award that is the subject of this registration statement. RSUs have been granted under the Plan to employees subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Management Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“Time-Based Agreement”) or Management Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“Performance-Based Agreement” and together with the Time-Based Agreement, the “RSU Agreements”) entered into between us and the employee and subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement among SCC, SCCII, SunGard Holding Corp., SunGard Holdco LLC, Solar Capital Corp. and certain stockholders of SCC and SCCII, dated as of August 10, 2005 (as in effect from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”). This summary of our Plan and the related form RSU Agreements is not complete, and is qualified by reference to the Plan, the form RSU Agreements, the Stockholders Agreement and our certificates of incorporation and bylaws. You should read this summary together with our Plan, form RSU Agreements, Stockholders Agreement and certificates of incorporation and bylaws, which are exhibits to this registration statement.

The Plan is administered, with respect to SCC, by the SCC board of directors or one or more committees of the SCC board and, with respect to SCCII, by the SCCII board of directors or one or more committees of the SCCII board (collectively, the “Administrator”). The Administrator may delegate ministerial tasks to such persons as it deems appropriate. The Administrator has the authority to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for and grant awards; determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any award; prescribe forms, rules and procedures; and otherwise do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan.
Limits on Shares Deliverable Under the Plan. The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards under the Plan is sixty million (60,000,000), the maximum number of shares of Class L common stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards under the Plan is seven million (7,000,000) and the maximum number of shares of preferred stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards under the Plan is two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000). The number of shares of stock delivered in satisfaction of awards shall, for purposes of the preceding sentence, be determined net of shares of stock withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of the award or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with respect to the award. In addition, to the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder, stock issued under awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the acquisition do not reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Plan.
Eligibility. Participation is limited to those key employees and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or its affiliates who, in the opinion of the Administrator, are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its affiliates and who are selected by the Administrator to receive an award.
RSUs. Each RSU represents the conditional right to receive a unit consisting of an undivided interest in 1.3 shares of Class A common stock, 0.1444 shares of Class L common stock, and 0.05 shares of preferred stock (“Unit”), determined at the date of grant, as it may be adjusted. No Shares are issued to the holder at the time the award is made, and the holder is not, and does not have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Parent Companies with respect to any Units recorded in, or credited to, the holder until Shares are distributed. RSUs are subject to certain restrictive covenants set forth in the RSU Agreements, including covenants of non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure and covenants relating to invention assignment.
Payment of Shares. The holder’s vested RSUs are paid in Shares upon the first to occur of (i) a change of control that meets the requirements of a “change in control event” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) the holder’s separation from service to us without cause, or (iii) the date that is five years after the date of grant. If a change of control occurs before the RSUs are fully vested, any RSUs that subsequently vest are paid upon the first to occur of clauses (ii) and (iii) above.
Vesting of RSUs. The RSUs are subject to forfeiture until the restrictions on the right to receive payment pursuant to the RSUs lapse in whole or in specified part, which is referred to as vesting. With respect to RSUs
- 70 -

issued under the Time-Based Agreement, ten percent of such RSUs vest on the first anniversary of the date of their grant (the “Initial Vesting Date”) and the remaining ninety percent vest in equal monthly installments over the 48 months following the Initial Vesting Date. With respect to RSUs issued under the Performance-Based Agreement, RSUs vest each calendar year based on various performance targets set forth in the Performance-Based Agreement, and some RSUs may vest based on the achievement of cumulative year performance targets that generally extend over a period of five or six years. The vesting schedules are subject to adjustment in the event the holder is terminated by the Company, resigns or retires, or the Company undergoes a change of control as described below.
In the case of termination of the holder for cause, the RSUs will be immediately forfeited and terminate as of the date of termination. In the case of termination of the holder without cause or upon death or disability, then (i) the holder’s time-based RSUs immediately stop vesting, and any unvested time-based RSUs are forfeited as of the date of termination and (ii) the holder’s performance-based RSUs will continue vesting through the end of the year of termination, provided that only a pro-rated portion of the RSUs that otherwise would have vested at the end of such year shall vest based on the number of days the holder was employed during such year. In the case of a holder resigning or retiring, then, with respect to time-based RSUs, the RSUs immediately stop vesting, and any unvested time-based RSUs are forfeited as of the date of resignation, and with respect to performance-based RSUs, if the holder resigns the RSUs are deemed to have stopped vesting at the beginning of the year in which the holder resigned and if the holder retires the RSUs shall continue vesting through the end of the year of retirement, provided that only a pro-rated portion of the RSUs that otherwise would have vested at the end of such year shall vest based on the number of days the holder was employed during such year. In the case of a sale of certain business segments where the holder is employed by the business segment and is not offered employment by the acquiring company on substantially similar terms and conditions, or upon an involuntary termination within six months following a change of control other than for cause, time-based RSUs become fully vested and the effect of a change of control on performance-based RSUs will be determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors and the chief executive officer.
Distributions, Redemptions, etc. In the case of any dividend or other distribution that is paid with respect to Shares, the account of each holder will be credited with an equivalent per share amount calculated based on the number of Shares of the class of stock underlying the Unit that was paid pursuant to such dividend or distribution. On the fifth business day after the end of each calendar quarter, the Company will pay to the holder in cash the amount credited to that holder pursuant to such dividend or distribution that relates to vested RSUs. Amounts credited to each holder that relate to unvested RSUs will be paid to the holder on the fifth business day after the end of the calendar quarter in which such RSUs vest. In the case of a redemption or repurchase of Shares, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to outstanding RSUs will be proportionately reduced.
Stockholders Agreement. The RSUs and the underlying Shares are subject to restrictions on voting and transfer and requirements of sale and other provisions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and are subject to forfeiture if SCC determines that the holder is not in compliance with the provisions of any agreement between the holder and the Company. Among other provisions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, the RSUs and the related Shares are also subject to certain call and put rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement and any Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs must bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. See “Description of Registrants’ Securities to be Registered – Stockholders Agreement.”
Forfeiture. The RSUs are subject to forfeiture until they vest. In addition, for a period of six months after the date of delivery of Shares pursuant to an RSU, such delivery may be rescinded if the holder fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the restrictive covenants set forth in the RSU Agreements or any other agreement with, or duty to, SCC or its affiliates. If the Shares are rescinded, the holder would be required to remit or deliver to SCC the amount of any gain realized upon the sale or exchange of any Shares and the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded delivery.
Transfer Restrictions. RSUs granted under the Plan are not transferable other than by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a legal representative in the event of the holder’s incapacity. Shares issued pursuant to RSUs are subject to restrictions on voting and transfer and requirements of sale and other provisions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.
There is no market or periodically available process or methodology that would allow holders of RSUs granted under the Plan to receive any consideration or compensation for these RSUs at any time.

Other Awards. In addition to RSUs, Class A Options and Unit Options have also been granted under the Plan.
Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may amend, alter or terminate the Plan in its sole discretion. No amendment may materially and adversely affect or impair any of the rights of a participant under any RSUs outstanding as of the date of such amendment.
Stockholders Agreement
The following is not a complete summary of the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. You should read the Stockholders Agreement, attached as exhibit 10.45 to this Registration Statement for a complete description of important terms and conditions contained in the Stockholders Agreement. Certain of the restrictions described below may expire or be significantly reduced after an initial public offering (an “Initial Public Offering”) or other public offering or offerings which exceed(s) a specified size (a “Qualified Public Offering”). The term “stockholder” as used in this section refers to all holders of Equity Securities.
Permitted Transfers. For the first five years after the closing of the Transaction, but prior to a Qualified Public Offering, stockholders generally may not transfer Equity Securities without the consent of a super-majority in interest of the Sponsors other than to immediate family members or estate planning vehicles, charitable organizations, in a transaction subject to the tag-along and drag-along provisions described below or in certain other private transfers which may be subject to tag-along and right of first offer provisions described herein. After a Qualified Public Offering, or any prior public offering including the Qualified Public Offering with the consent of the Sponsors, Equity Securities will be transferable in a public offering, in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in a block sale to a financial institution or in other sorts of private transfers. Stockholders are generally subject to limitations on transfers to certain “strategic investors,” transfers which would jeopardize the ability of the Company to do a tax free spin-off of one of its business units and any underwriter lock-ups in connection with a public offering of the Company’s securities.
Tag Along Rights. Prior to a Qualified Public Offering, stockholders wishing to transfer their Equity Securities (each a “Prospective Selling Stockholder”) to a buyer (other than affiliates or certain other permitted transferees or charitable organizations) are subject to the tag along rights of other stockholders. Subject to certain exceptions, stockholders other than the Prospective Selling Stockholder have the right to participate in sales by any Prospective Selling Stockholder (subject to a pro rata cut-back by which the stockholder can only sell his or her pro-rata percentage) on the same basis as the Prospective Selling Stockholder.
Drag Along Rights. Prior to the third anniversary of a Qualified Public Offering, the Sponsors have the right at any time to require all other stockholders to sell Equity Securities at the same price and on the same other terms as the Sponsors when the Sponsors sell their Equity Securities in a “change of control” transaction. Similarly, prior to a Qualified Public Offering, the Sponsors generally have the right to require all other stockholders to exchange or convert their Equity Securities in a recapitalization transaction on comparable terms to the terms on which the Sponsors are exchanging or converting their Equity Securities in the recapitalization.
Right of First Offer. If any stockholder proposes to sell Equity Securities prior to a Qualified Public Offering, the Sponsors, on a pro rata basis, will have a right of first offer to purchase the Equity Securities proposed to be sold.
Lock-Up. In connection with any underwritten public offering and any other public offerings, each stockholder agrees to be bound by any lock-up agreement agreed to by a majority in interest of the Sponsors, provided, that these lock-up agreements may not bind the stockholder for longer than 180 days following the initial public offerings up to and including the Qualified Public Offering, and 90 days for subsequent public offerings.
Voting Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement includes provisions pursuant to which all stockholders agree to vote their shares as directed by the Sponsors with respect to a sale, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization or any other transaction involving us and with respect to any recapitalization transaction, in either case incident to the exercise of their Drag Along Rights. All stockholders must also agree to vote their Shares in favor (to the same extent and in the same proportion as the Sponsors have voted) of an amendment to SCC’s charter including any increase in the number of authorized common shares to the extent necessary to permit the conversion of common shares as set forth in SCC’s charter.

Call Rights. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, if an RSU holder’s employment is terminated or the holder resigns, we will have a call option on such holder’s Equity Securities and certain options. To the extent that we do not exercise this call right, the Equity Securities will be subject to a similar call right of the Sponsors. Except where the RSU holder is terminated “for cause,” the call price for any Shares or option or RSU that is vested will be fair market value, and for any share or option or RSU that is unvested (and not forfeited in connection with the cessation of employment) will be the lower of cost or fair market value. If the RSU holder is terminated “for cause,” the call price on all Shares and options will be the lower of cost or fair market value. In limited circumstances, we may issue a promissory note that bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% and will become payable over the three year period from the date of issuance of the note in lieu of cash to pay the call price. Our and the Sponsors’ call right will end on a Qualified Public Offering.
Put Rights. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, if an RSU holder’s employment ceases as a result of his or her death or disability, the holder or his or her beneficiaries will have the right to cause us to repurchase such holder’s Equity Securities and options; provided, that with respect to Shares the put option will apply only with respect to Shares that have been held by the holder (or his or her beneficiaries) for at least six months. The put price for such holder’s Shares is fair market value. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to pay the put price in cash, provided that if we are not able to pay the put price in cash as a result of any contractual or legal restriction, we may issue a promissory note that bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% and will become payable over the three year period from the date of the issuance of the note. The put option will expire on a Qualified Public Offering.
Amendment and Termination. Certain provisions of the Stockholders Agreement may be amended, modified, extended, terminated or waived without prior notice to a holder of RSUs, including in ways that may materially and adversely affect the rights of an RSU holder.
ITEM 12. | INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS |
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) enables a corporation in its original certificates of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation

unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Our certificates of incorporation and bylaws generally provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and, upon request, advance expenses to any director or officer who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit. We and our subsidiary SunGard have also entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and officers. Such agreements generally provide for indemnification by reason of being our director or officer, as the case may be. These agreements are in addition to the indemnification provided by our and SunGard’s charters and bylaws.
We also obtained officers’ and directors’ liability insurance which insures against liabilities that our officers and directors may, in their capacities as our officers and directors, incur. Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under that section.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SunGard Capital Corp.:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SunGard Capital Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for noncontrolling (minority) interests as of January 1, 2009.

SunGard Capital Corp. II
SunGard Data Systems Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“SunGard”) 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 TPG (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 (“SCCII”), which is a subsidiary of SunGard Capital Corp. (“SCC”). SCC and SCCII are collectively referred to as the “Parent Companies.” All of these companies were formed in 2005 for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction and are collectively referred to as the “Holding Companies.” SCC, SCCII and SunGard are separate reporting companies and are collectively referred to as the “Company”.
The Holding Companies have no other operations beyond those of their ownership of SunGard. SunGard is one of the world’s leading software and IT services companies and has four 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.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make many estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and revises them when necessary. Actual results may differ from the original or revised estimates.
The Company amortizes identifiable intangible assets over periods that it believes approximate the related useful lives of those assets based upon estimated future operating results and cash flows of the underlying business operations. The Company closely monitors estimates of those lives, which could change due to many factors, including product demand, market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions and competition.
Revenue Recognition
The following criteria must be met in determining whether revenue may be recorded: persuasive evidence of a contract exists; services have been provided; the price is known; and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company generates services revenue from availability services, processing services, software maintenance and rentals, professional services and broker/dealer fees. Services revenue is recorded as the services are provided based on the fair value of each element which is based on the sales price of each element when sold separately. Most AS services revenue consists of fixed monthly fees based upon the specific computer configuration or business process for which the service is being provided, and the related costs are incurred ratably over the contract period. When recovering from an interruption, customers generally are contractually obligated to pay additional fees, which typically cover the incremental costs of supporting customers during recoveries. FS services revenue includes monthly fees, which may include a fixed minimum fee and/or variable fees based on a measure of volume or activity, such as the number of accounts, trades or transactions, users or the number of hours of service.
For fixed-fee professional services contracts, services revenue is recorded based upon the estimated percentage of completion, measured by the actual number of hours incurred divided by the total estimated number of hours for the project. When contracts include both professional services and software and there are significant program modifications or customization, installation, systems integration or related services, the professional services and license revenue is combined and recorded based upon the estimated percentage of completion, measured in the manner described above. Changes in the estimated costs or hours to complete the contract and losses, if any, are reflected in the period during which the change or loss becomes known.

Index to Financial Statements
License fees result from contracts that permit the customer to use a SunGard software product at the customer’s site. Generally, these contracts are multiple-element arrangements since they usually provide for professional services and ongoing software maintenance. In these instances, license fees are recognized upon the signing of the contract and delivery of the software if the license fee is known, collection is probable, and there is sufficient evidence of the fair value of each undelivered element. Revenue is recorded when billed when customer payments are extended beyond normal billing terms, or at acceptance when there is significant acceptance, technology or service risk. Revenue also is recorded over the contract period in those instances where the software is bundled together with computer equipment or other post-delivery services and there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of each undelivered element.
Sufficient evidence of fair value is determined by reference to applicable accounting standards and is defined as vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). If there is no VSOE of the fair value of the delivered element (which is usually the software) but there is VSOE of the fair value of each of the undelivered elements (which are usually maintenance and professional services), then the residual method is used to determine the revenue for the delivered element. The revenue for each of the undelivered elements is set at the fair value of those elements using VSOE of the price paid when each of the undelivered elements is sold separately. The revenue remaining after allocation to the undelivered elements (i.e., the residual) is allocated to the delivered element.
VSOE supporting the fair value of maintenance is based on the optional renewal rates for each product and is typically 18% to 20% of the software license fee per year. VSOE supporting the fair value of professional services is based on the standard daily rates charged when those services are sold separately.
In some multiple-element arrangements that include software licenses and services, the services rates are discounted. In these cases, a portion of the software license fee is deferred and recognized as the services are performed based on VSOE of the services.
Unbilled receivables are created when services are performed or software is delivered and revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Deferred revenue is created when billing occurs in advance of performing certain services.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company sells a significant portion of its products and services to the financial services industry and could be affected by the overall condition of that industry. The Company believes that any credit risk associated with accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the relatively large number of customer accounts and reasonably short collection terms. Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value, which approximates fair value. By policy, the Company places its available cash and short-term investments with institutions of high credit-quality and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of each of the Company’s foreign operations is generally the local currency of the country in which the operation is located. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the period.
Increases and decreases in net assets resulting from foreign currency translation are reflected in stockholder’s equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to eight years for equipment and ten to 40 years for buildings and improvements). Leasehold improvements are amortized ratably over their remaining lease term or useful life, if shorter. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was $212 million in 2006, $219 million in 2007 and $240 million in 2008.
F-17
Index to Financial Statements
Software Products
Product development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of design and development costs of new products and significant enhancements to existing products incurred before the establishment of technological feasibility. Costs associated with purchased software, software obtained through business acquisitions, and new products and enhancements to existing products that are technologically feasible and recoverable are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related products, generally two to eleven years (average life is seven years), using the straight-line method or the ratio of current revenue to current and anticipated revenue from such software, whichever provides the greater amortization. Amortization of all software products aggregated $223 million in 2006, $246 million in 2007 and $267 million in 2008. Capitalized development costs were $21 million in 2006, $26 million in 2007 and $17 million in 2008.
Customer Base Intangible Assets
Customer base intangible assets represent customer contracts and relationships obtained as part of acquired businesses and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to 19 years (average life is 13 years).
Other Tangible and Intangible Assets
Other tangible and intangible assets consist primarily of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with debt issued in the Transaction and for the acquisition of GL TRADE S.A. (“GL TRADE”) (see Notes 2 and 5), noncompetition agreements obtained in business acquisitions, long-term accounts receivable, prepayments and long-term investments. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related debt. Noncompetition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over their stated terms, ranging from two to five years.
Future Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets
Based on amounts recorded at December 31, 2008, total expected amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets in each of the years ended December 31 follows (in millions):
2009 | $ | 508 | |
2010 | 499 | ||
2011 | 472 | ||
2012 | 424 | ||
2013 | 370 |
Trade Name and Goodwill
The trade name intangible asset primarily represents the fair value of the SunGard trade name at August 11, 2005 and is an indefinite-lived asset and therefore is not subject to amortization but is reviewed at least annually for impairment.
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. At least annually, the Company compares the carrying value of its reporting units to their estimated fair value. If the carrying value is greater than the respective estimated fair value, the Company then determines if the goodwill is impaired and whether some or all of the goodwill should be written off as a charge to operations. The estimate of fair value requires various assumptions including the use of projections of future cash flows and discount rates that reflect the risks associated with achieving the future cash flows. Changes in the underlying business could affect these estimates, which in turn could affect the fair value of the reporting unit.

The Company completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1 and generally estimates the fair value of its reporting units using the present value of expected future cash flows. As a result of the change in the economic environment in the second half of 2008 and completion of the annual budgeting process, the Company reviewed its annual impairment test in December 2008 and concluded that the decline in expected future cash flows in the PS reporting unit was sufficient to result in an impairment of goodwill of $128 million.
Stock Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”) requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options. Using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award or using the Black-Scholes pricing model and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on the difference between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the currently enacted income tax rates in effect during the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance is recorded may not be realized upon changes in facts and circumstances. Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return are recorded when such benefits meet a more likely than not threshold. Otherwise, these tax benefits are recorded when a tax position has been effectively settled, which means that the appropriate taxing authority has completed their examination even though the statute of limitations remains open, or the statute of limitation expires. Considerable judgment is required in assessing and estimating these amounts and differences between the actual outcome of these future tax consequences and estimates made could have a material effect on the consolidated financial results.
Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued 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. 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
F-19
Index to Financial Statements
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.
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 does not expect the adoption of 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 SFAS No. 142, 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 does not expect the adoption of FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold (lock up) the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to the asset (a defensive asset), assets that the acquirer will never actually use, as well as assets that will be used by the acquirer during a transition period when the intention of the acquirer is to discontinue the use of those assets. EITF 08-7 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 08-7 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 2008, the Company completed four acquisitions in its FS segment and two in its AS segment. Cash paid, subject to certain adjustments, was $721 million.
The following table lists the businesses the Company acquired in 2008:
Acquired Company/Business | Date Acquired | Description | ||

At December 31, 2008, contingent purchase price obligations that depend upon the operating performance of five acquired businesses total $71 million, $20 million of which could be due in the next 12 months. The amount paid, if any, will be recorded as a charge to the income statement at the time the actual performance is known and the amounts become due. There were no amounts earned or paid in 2006 or 2007 and approximately $1 million was paid during 2008. There were no amounts payable as of December 31, 2008.

On August 11, 2005, SunGard (i) entered into a $5.0 billion senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $3.69 billion term loan facility with SunGard as the borrower, a $315 million-equivalent term loan facility with a U.K. subsidiary as the borrower (denominated in euros and pounds sterling), and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility ($483 million available as of December 31, 2008 after giving effect to certain outstanding letters of credit), and (ii) issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and senior subordinated notes. The amounts outstanding under the term loan facility denominated in euros and pounds sterling was $181 million and $119 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008. In February 2007 the Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the effective interest rates on the term loan facility, increase the size of that facility from $4.0 billion to $4.4 billion, extend the maturity by one year and change certain other terms. SunGard used the additional borrowings to redeem $400 million of senior floating rate notes that were due 2013. The related redemption premium of $19 million and write-off of approximately $9 million of deferred financing costs were included in other expense. In September 2008 the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the amount of term loan borrowings by SunGard under the Credit Agreement by $500 million (“Incremental Term Loan”), and SunGard issued at a $6 million discount $500 million aggregate principal amount of 10.625% Senior Notes due 2015, together with the Incremental Term Loan, to fund the acquisition of GL TRADE and repay $250 million of senior notes due in January 2009.
(A) Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at SunGard’s option, either (a) a base rate that is the higher of (1) the prime rate of JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) LIBOR based on the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of such borrowing for either 30, 60, 90 or 180 days. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. In
F-22
Index to Financial Statements
addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, SunGard pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments. The commitment fee rate is 0.375% per annum and may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios.
All obligations under the senior secured credit agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by SunGard Holdco LLC and by substantially all domestic, 100% wholly owned subsidiaries of SunGard, referred to, collectively, as Guarantors.
SunGard is required to repay installments on the loans under the term loan facilities in quarterly principal amounts of 0.25% of their funded total principal amount through March 2013, with the remaining amount payable in May 2013, provided, however, that such date will automatically become February 2014 if all the Senior Notes due 2013 are extended, renewed or refinanced on or prior to May 15, 2013.
The senior secured credit facilities also require SunGard to pay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with excess cash flow and proceeds from certain asset sales, casualty and condemnation events, other borrowings and certain financings under SunGard’s accounts receivable securitization program (terminated in December 2008). Any required payments would be applied pro rata to the term loan lenders and to installments of the term loan facilities in direct order of maturity.
Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity in August 2011.
The second amendment to the Credit Agreement in September 2008 changed certain terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loan. Borrowings can be at either a Base Rate or a Eurocurrency Rate. Base Rate borrowings reset daily and bear interest at a minimum of 4.0% plus a spread of 2.75%. Eurocurrency borrowings can be made for periods of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days and bear interest at a minimum of 3.0% plus a spread of 3.75%. The interest rate at December 31, 2008 was 6.75%.
The senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, SunGard’s (and most or all of its subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, pay dividends and distributions on or repurchase capital stock, create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, repay subordinated indebtedness, make investments, loans or advances, make capital expenditures, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain material agreements, change its lines of business, sell assets and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, under the senior secured credit facilities, SunGard is required to satisfy certain total leverage and interest coverage ratios.
SunGard uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the amount of its floating rate debt in order to reduce its exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with the senior secured credit facilities. SunGard pays a stream of fixed interest payments for the term of the swap, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR (2.39% at December 31, 2008). The net receipt or payment from the interest rate swap agreements is included in interest expense. A summary of the Company’s interest rate swaps at December 31, 2008 follows:
Inception | Maturity | Notional Amount (in millions) | Interest rate paid | Interest rate received | ||||||
November 2005 | February 2009 | $ | 800 | 4.85 | % | LIBOR | ||||
February 2006 | February 2011 | $ | 800 | 5.00 | % | LIBOR | ||||
January 2008 | February 2011 | $ | 750 | 3.17 | % | LIBOR | ||||
February 2008 | February 2010 | $ | 750 | 2.71 | % | LIBOR | ||||
Total/Weighted Average interest rate | $ | 3,100 | 3.96 | % | ||||||
In early 2009, SunGard entered into 3-year interest rate swaps that expire in February 2012 for an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion under which SunGard pays a stream of fixed interest payments (at 1.78%) for the term of the swap, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR.
The interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and included at estimated fair value as an asset or a liability in the consolidated balance sheet based on a discounted cash flow model using applicable market swap rates and assumptions. For 2006, 2007 and 2008, SunGard included an unrealized after-tax gain of $3 million, an unrealized after-tax loss of $23 million and an unrealized after-tax loss of $39 million, respectively, in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to the change in market value on the swaps. The market value of the swaps recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) may be recognized in the statement of operations if certain terms of the senior secured credit facilities change or if the loan is extinguished. The $98 million fair value of the swap agreements at December 31, 2008 is included in accrued expenses. The effects of the November 2005, the February 2006, the January 2008 and the February 2008 swaps are reflected in the effective interest rate for the senior secured credit facilities in the table above.

(B) Senior Notes due 2009 and 2014
On January 15, 2004, SunGard issued $500 million of senior unsecured notes, of which $250 million 3.75% notes were due and paid in full in January 2009 and $250 million are 4.875% notes due 2014, which are subject to certain standard covenants. As a result of the Transaction, these senior notes became collateralized on an equal and ratable basis with loans under the senior secured credit facilities and are guaranteed by all subsidiaries that guarantee the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015. The senior notes due 2009 and 2014 are recorded at $470 million and $480 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, reflecting the remaining unamortized discount caused by the Transaction. The $20 million discount at December 31, 2008 will be amortized and included in interest expense over the remaining periods to maturity.
(C) Senior Notes due 2013 and 2015 and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015
The senior notes due 2013 and 2015 are senior unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to future debt and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior notes, including the senior subordinated notes. The senior notes (i) rank equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt and other obligations that are not, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior notes, (ii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior notes. All obligations under the senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all domestic, 100% wholly owned subsidiaries of SunGard.
The senior subordinated notes due 2015 are unsecured senior subordinated obligations that are subordinated in right of payment to the existing and future senior debt, including the senior secured credit facilities, the senior notes due 2009 and 2014 and the senior notes due 2013 and 2015. The senior subordinated notes (i) rank equally in right of payment to all future senior subordinated debt, (ii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior subordinated notes, and (iv) rank senior in right of payment to all future debt and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior subordinated notes.
The senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 are redeemable in whole or in part, at SunGard’s option, at any time at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in the applicable indentures. In addition, upon a change of control, SunGard is required to make an offer to redeem all of the senior notes and senior subordinated notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indentures governing the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 contain a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, SunGard’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, create liens securing certain debt without securing the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 or senior subordinated notes due 2015, as applicable, sell certain assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
The senior notes due 2015 contain registration rights by which SunGard has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to register with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission notes having substantially identical terms. SunGard will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer to be completed or, if required, to have one or more shelf registration statements declared effective, within 360 days after the issue date of the senior notes due 2015.
If SunGard fails to meet this target (a “registration default”) with respect to the senior notes due 2015, the annual interest rate on the senior notes due 2015 will increase by 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0% per year over the applicable interest rate. If the registration default is corrected or, if it is not corrected, upon the two year anniversary of the issue date of the senior notes due 2015, the applicable interest rate on such senior notes due 2015 will revert to the original level.
(D) Off Balance Sheet Debt—Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
In December 2008, SunGard terminated its accounts receivable securitization program. Under the accounts receivable facility, eligible receivables were sold to third-party conduits through a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity that is not consolidated for financial reporting purposes. SunGard serviced the receivables and charged a monthly servicing fee at market rates. The third-party conduits were sponsored by certain lenders under SunGard’s senior secured credit facilities. Sales of receivables under the facility qualified as sales under the provisions of SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (SFAS 140). Accordingly, these receivables, totaling $682 million and $363 million as of
F-24
Index to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, net of applicable allowances, and the corresponding borrowings, totaling $441 million and $77 million at December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, are excluded from SunGard’s consolidated balance sheets. SunGard’s retained interest in receivables sold as of December 31, 2007 and 2008 is $243 million and $285 million, respectively. The loss on sale of receivables and discount on retained interests are included in other expense and totaled $29 million for each of 2006 and 2007 and $25 million for 2008. The gain or loss on sale of receivables was determined at the date of transfer based upon the fair value of the assets sold and the interests retained. SunGard estimated fair value based on the present value of expected cash flows.
Future Maturities
At December 31, 2008, annual maturities of long-term debt during the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in millions):
2009 | $ | 322 | |
2010 | 67 | ||
2011 | 558 | ||
2012 | 49 | ||
2013 | 5,681 | ||
Thereafter (1) | 2,224 |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments as of the end of the last two years (in millions):
December 31, 2007 | December 31, 2008 | |||||||||||||||
Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | |||||||||||||
Interest rate swap contracts | $ | (35 | ) | $ | (35 | ) | $ | (98 | ) | $ | (98 | ) | ||||

Fixed rate debt | 3,111 | 3,142 | 3,627 | 2,903 |
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value. The fair value of SunGard’s floating rate and fixed rate long-term debt is based on market rates.
6. Fair Value Measurements:
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosure about the use of fair value measures. The Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities 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.
F-25
Index to Financial Statements
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
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 December 31, 2008 (in millions):

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 calculated using a discounted cash flow model using applicable market swap rates and assumptions and are compared to market valuations obtained from brokers. During 2008, the fair value of retained interest in accounts receivable sold increased $42 million from $243 million at December 31, 2007 resulting from purchases, issuances and settlements.
7. Preferred Stock
SCCII
SCCII has preferred and common stock outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2008. The preferred stock is non-voting and ranks senior in right of payment to the common stock. Each share of preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $100 (the initial class P liquidation preference) plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends accruing at a rate of 11.5% per annum of the initial Class P liquidation preference ($100 per share), compounded quarterly. Holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends to the extent a dividend is declared by the Board of Directors of SCCII at a rate of 11.5% per year of the initial Class P liquidation preference ($100 per share) payable quarterly in arrears. The aggregate amount of cumulative but undeclared preferred stock dividends at December 31, 2007 and 2008 was $309 million and $466 million, respectively ($31.57 and $47.57 per share, respectively). No dividends have been declared since inception.
Preferred shares and stock awards based in preferred shares are held by certain members of management. In the case of termination resulting from disability or death, an employee or his/her estate may exercise a put option which would require the Company to repurchase vested shares at the current fair market value. ASR 268 requires that these shares of preferred stock be classified as temporary equity (between liabilities and stockholder’s equity) on the balance sheet of SCCII.
SCC
EITF 86-32 requires that all preferred stock of SCCII be classified as Minority interest in preferred stock of subsidiary (between liabilities and stockholders’ equity) on the balance sheet of SCC. Effective January 1, 2009, the adoption of SFAS 160 will require this to be classified as Noncontrolling interest in the stockholders’ equity section.
8. Common Stock
SCC has nine classes of common stock, Class L and Class A-1 through A-8. Class L common stock has identical terms as Class A common stock except as follows:
• | Class L common stock has a liquidation preference: distributions by SCC are first allocated to Class L common stock up to its $81 per share liquidation preference plus an amount sufficient to generate a rate of return of 13.5% per annum, compounded quarterly (“Class L Liquidation Preference”). All holders of Common stock, as a single class, share in any remaining distributions pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of Common stock; |
F-26
Index to Financial Statements
• | each share of Class L common stock automatically converts into Class A common stock upon an initial public offering or other registration of the Class A common stock and is convertible into Class A common stock upon a majority vote of the holders of the outstanding Class L common stock upon a change of control or other realization events. If converted, each share of Class L common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock plus an additional number of shares of Class A common stock determined by dividing the Class L Liquidation Preference at the date of conversion by the adjusted market value of one share of Class A common stock as set forth in the certificate of incorporation of SCC; and |
• | holders of Class A common stock and Class L common stock will generally vote as a single class, except that the election of directors is structured to permit the holders of one or more specific series of Class A common stock to elect separate directors. |
In the case of termination resulting from disability or death, an employee or his/her estate may exercise a put option which would require the Company to repurchase shares at the current fair market value. ASR 268 requires that these common shares be classified as temporary equity (between liabilities and stockholders’ equity) on the balance sheet of SCC.
9. Stock Option and Award Plans and Stock-Based Compensation:
To provide long-term equity incentives following the Transaction, the SunGard 2005 Management Incentive Plan, as amended (“Plan”) was established. The Plan authorizes the issuance of equity subject to awards made under the Plan for up to 60 million shares of Class A common stock and 7 million shares of Class L common stock of SCC and 2.5 million shares of preferred stock of SCCII.
Under the Plan, awards of time-based and performance-based options have been granted to purchase “Units” in the Parent Companies. Each “Unit” consists of 1.3 shares of Class A common stock and 0.1444 shares of Class L common stock of SCC and 0.05 shares of preferred stock of SCCII. The shares comprising a Unit are in the same proportion as the shares issued to all stockholders of the Parent Companies. Option Units are exercisable only for whole Units and cannot be separately exercised for the individual classes of stock. Beginning in 2007, hybrid equity awards generally were granted under the Plan, which awards are composed of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for Units in the Parent Companies and options to purchase Class A common stock in SCC. All awards under the Plan are granted at fair market value on the date of grant.
Time-based options vest over five years as follows: 25% one year after date of grant, and 1/48th of the remaining balance each month thereafter for 48 months. Time-based RSUs vest over five years as follows: 10% one year after date of grant, and 1/48th of the remaining balance each month thereafter for 48 months. Performance-based options and RSUs vest upon the attainment of certain annual or cumulative earnings goals based on Internal EBITA (defined as income from operations before amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock compensation expense and certain other items) targets for the Company during a specified performance period, generally five or six years. Time-based and performance-based options can partly or fully vest upon a change of control and certain other termination events, subject to certain conditions, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Once vested, time-based and performance-based RSUs become payable in shares upon the first to occur of a change of control, separation from service without cause, or the date that is five years after the date of grant.
The total fair value of options that vested for 2006, 2007 and 2008 was $50 million, $31 million and $32 million, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs that vested for the years 2007 and 2008 was $0.7 million and $3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2008, approximately 32,000 and 163,000 RSUs were vested.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Since the Company is not publicly traded, the Company utilizes equity valuations based on (a) stock market valuations of public companies in comparable businesses, (b) recent transactions involving comparable companies and (c) any other factors deemed relevant. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from market comparisons of certain publicly traded companies and other factors. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from historical experience and expectations and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The requisite service period is generally five years from the date of grant.
For 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company included non-cash stock compensation expense of $38 million, $32 million and $35 million, respectively, in sales, marketing and administration expenses. At December 31, 2008, there is approximately $42 million and $38 million, respectively, of unearned non-cash stock-based compensation related to time-based options and RSUs that the Company expects to record as expense over a weighted average of 2.4 and 4.4 years, respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2008, there is approximately $110 million and $40 million, respectively, of unearned non-cash stock-based compensation related to performance-based options and RSUs that the Company could record as expense over a weighted-average of 2.2 and 3.7 years, respectively, depending on the level of achievement of financial performance goals. For time-based options and RSUs, compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of five years. For performance-based options and RSUs, recognition of compensation expense starts when the achievement of financial performance goals becomes probable and is recorded over the remaining service period.

The U.S. tax loss carry-forwards include federal of $99 million and state of $1.4 billion, respectively, and a total of $8 million in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. European and Asian tax loss carry-forwards total $152 million. These tax loss carry-forwards expire between 2009 and 2028 and utilization is limited in certain jurisdictions. Israeli tax loss carry-forwards, totaling $24 million, are unlimited in duration and are linked to the Israeli consumer price index. The Company recorded the benefit of tax loss carry-forwards of $58 million, $2 million and $2 million in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. A valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets associated with certain net operating loss carry-forwards has been established. Net operating loss carry-forwards of the predecessor entity prior to the Transaction as of December 31, 2008 were $198 million. Utilization, if any, of predecessor entity net operating loss carry-forwards not recorded as an asset at August 10, 2005 will be recorded as a benefit to the income statement.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007 with no material effect. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits follows (in millions):
Balance at January 1, 2007 | $ | 28 | ||
Reduction due to settled audits | (7 | ) | ||
Reduction for tax positions of prior years | (2 | ) | ||
Additions for incremental interest | 1 | |||

Additions for tax positions of prior years | 17 | |||
Additions for incremental interest | 1 | |||
Balance at December 31, 2008 | $ | 38 | ||
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008 is approximately $3 million (net of federal and state benefit) of accrued interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar years 2003 through 2007 and various state and foreign jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination as well. At any time some portion of the Company’s operations are under audit. Accordingly, certain matters may be resolved within the next 12 months which could result in a change in the liability.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has not accrued deferred U.S. income taxes on $300 million of unremitted earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries as such earnings are expected to be reinvested overseas and used for U.K. debt service. If all of these earnings were to be repatriated at one time, the residual U.S. tax is estimated to be $28 million.
12. Segment Information:
The Company has four segments: FS, HE and PS, which together form the Company’s Software & Processing Solutions business, and AS.

13. Related Party Transactions:
In connection with the Transaction, SunGard Holdco LLC, SunGard’s parent, paid the Sponsors $96 million in fees and expenses for financial and structural advice and analysis as well as assistance with due diligence investigations and debt financing negotiations. This amount has been allocated as debt issuance costs or included in the overall purchase price of the Transaction.
SunGard is required to pay management fees to affiliates of the Sponsors in connection with management consulting services provided to SunGard and the Parent Companies. These services include financial, managerial and operational advice and implementation strategies for improving the operating, marketing and financial performance of SunGard and its subsidiaries. The management fees are equal to 1% of quarterly Adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments as defined in the management agreement, and are payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, these affiliates of the Sponsors may be entitled to additional fees in connection with certain financing, acquisition, disposition and change in control transactions. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008,

Index to Financial Statements
SunGard recorded $14 million, $17 million and $23 million, respectively, relating to management fees in sales, marketing and administration expenses in the statement of operations, of which $4 million and $10 million, respectively, is included in other accrued expenses at December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
Two of our Sponsors, Goldman Sachs & Co. and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., and/or their respective affiliates served as co-managers in connection with SunGard’s recent debt offering of $500 million Senior Notes due 2015 and $500 million Incremental Term Loan. In connection with serving in such capacity, Goldman Sachs & Co. and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. were paid $26 million and $4 million, respectively, for customary fees and expenses.
In connection with the Transaction, SCC received a $16 million promissory note from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in payment for 1.6 million shares of Class A common stock and 0.2 million shares of Class L common stock and SCCII received a $6 million promissory note (together with the SCC note, the “Notes”) from the CEO in payment for 61 thousand shares of preferred stock. In 2007, these notes were fully repaid and cancelled. The Notes bore interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.5% divided by 0.84725 per annum and were payable on the last day of each calendar quarter in arrears.
14. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees:
The Company leases a substantial portion of its computer equipment and facilities under operating leases. The Company’s leases are generally non-cancelable or cancelable only upon payment of cancellation fees. All lease payments are based on the passage of time, but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no bargain purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most facility leases have one or more renewal options and have either fixed or Consumer Price Index escalation clauses. Certain facility leases include an annual escalation for increases in utilities and property taxes. In addition, certain facility leases are subject to restoration clauses, whereby the facility may need to be restored to its original condition upon termination of the lease. There were $22 million of restoration liabilities included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2008. Future minimum rentals under operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2008 follow (in millions):
2009 | $ | 198 | |
2010 | 163 | ||
2011 | 128 | ||
2012 | 107 | ||
2013 | 93 | ||
Thereafter | 253 | ||
$ | 942 | ||
Rent expense aggregated $184 million in 2006, $208 million in 2007 and $226 million in 2008.
At December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds of $25 million, issued primarily as security for performance under certain customer contracts. In connection with certain previously acquired businesses, up to $71 million could be paid as additional consideration depending on the future operating results of those businesses (see Note 2).
In the event that the management agreement described in Note 13 is terminated by the Sponsors (or their affiliates) or SunGard and its Parent Companies, the Sponsors (or their affiliates) will receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the annual management fees that would have been payable for the remainder of the term of the management agreement. The initial term of the management agreement is ten years, and it extends annually for one year unless the Sponsors (or their affiliates) or SunGard and its Parent Companies provide notice to the other. The initial ten year term expires August 11, 2015.
The Company is presently a party to certain lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, none of its current legal proceedings will be material to the Company’s business or financial results. The Company’s customer contracts generally include typical indemnification of customers, primarily for intellectual property infringement claims. Liabilities in connection with such obligations have not been material.

16. Retrospective Adjustments and Subsequent Event:
Retrospective Adjustments
The SunGard Capital Corp. consolidated financial statements include retrospective adjustments that have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the adoption of SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsequent Event
On June 9, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, (a) extends the maturity date of $2.5 billion of its dollar-denominated term loans, £40 million of pound sterling-denominated term loans, and €120 million of euro-denominated term loans to February 28, 2016, (b) reduces existing revolving credit commitments to $829 million and extends the termination date of $580 million of revolving credit commitments to May 11, 2013, and (c) amends certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including provisions relating to negative covenants and financial covenants.
Interest rate spreads with respect to the extended term loans and interest rate spreads (and letter of credit fees) with respect to the 2013 revolving credit facility will be the applicable rate as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement and may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. All other interest rate spreads and fees remain unchanged.
Based on the leverage ratio for the period ended March 31, 2009, the current interest spread for extended LIBOR based loans is 3.625% and for 2013 revolving credit loans is 3.25%. The commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the 2013 revolving credit commitments is 0.75%.
17. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:

On September 29, 2008, SunGard issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2015, all of which was outstanding at December 31, 2008. The senior notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis and the senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all wholly owned, domestic subsidiaries of SunGard (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by SunGard. None of the other subsidiaries of SunGard, either direct or indirect, nor any of the Holding Companies, guarantee the senior notes and senior subordinated notes (“Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the senior secured credit facilities, described in Note 5.
The following tables present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of SunGard (referred to as “Parent Company” for purposes of this note only), the Guarantor subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries and Eliminations as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 to arrive at the information for SunGard on a consolidated basis. SCC and SCCII are neither parties nor guarantors to the debt issued as described in Note 5.

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 TPG (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.” SCC, SCCII and SunGard are separate reporting companies and are collectively referred to as the “Company”.
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 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, 2008. 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, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FSP FAS 107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 increases the frequency of fair value disclosures from annual only to quarterly, in an effort to provide financial statement users with more timely and transparent information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. FSP 107-1 is effective as of April 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
2. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The following table summarizes changes in goodwill by segment (in millions):
FS | HE | PS | AS | Total | |||||||||||||||
Balance at December 31, 2008 | $ | 3,431 | $ | 965 | $ | 685 | $ | 2,247 | $ | 7,328 | |||||||||

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company shortened the remaining useful lives of certain intangible assets to reflect revisions to estimated customer attrition rates. The impact of this revision was an increase in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and estimated to be approximately $36 million on an annual basis.

3. Clearing Broker Assets and Liabilities:
Clearing broker assets and liabilities are comprised of the following (in millions):
December 31, 2008 | March 31, 2009 | |||||
Segregated customer cash and treasury bills | $ | 148 | $ | 138 | ||
Securities owned | 44 | 34 | ||||
Securities borrowed | 87 | 69 | ||||
Receivables from customers and other | 30 | 26 | ||||
Clearing broker assets | $ | 309 | $ | 267 | ||
Payables to customers | $ | 191 | $ | 161 | ||
Securities loaned | 47 | 21 | ||||
Customer securities sold short, not yet purchased | 3 | 3 | ||||
Payable to brokers and dealers | 69 | 63 | ||||
Clearing broker liabilities | $ | 310 | $ | 248 | ||
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 and derivatives:
On March 27, 2009, SunGard entered into a syndicated receivables facility with an initial maximum commitment of $250 million. The facility was fully drawn at March 31, 2009, with approximately $107 million available on a revolving basis and the balance as a term loan. The Receivables Facility has a term of three years. Each of the term loan portion and the revolving portion of the receivables facility may be repaid at any time at the Company’s option and is therefore accounted for as an on-balance sheet secured borrowing. At March 31, 2009, $704 million of accounts receivable secure the borrowings under the receivables facility.
Subject to obtaining the commitment of additional lenders, and the satisfaction of other customary conditions, the receivables facility may be increased up to a maximum amount of $500 million.
Under the receivables facility, SunGard is generally required to pay interest on the amount of each advance at the one month LIBOR rate (with a floor of 3%) plus 4.50% per annum. The facility is subject to a fee on the unused portion of 1.00% per annum. The receivables facility contains certain standard covenants, and the Company is required to satisfy and maintain specified facility performance ratios, financial ratios and other financial condition tests.
In May 2009, the Company increased the size of its receivables facility by $66.5 million.
Derivatives
In early 2009, the Company entered into three-year interest rate swaps that expire in February 2012 for an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion under which SunGard pays a stream of fixed interest payments (at 1.78%) for the term of the swap, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR.
F-53
Index to Financial Statements
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the amount of its floating rate debt in order to reduce its exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with the senior secured credit facilities. Each of these swap agreements is designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company pays a stream of fixed interest payments for the term of the swap, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR. The net receipt or payment from the interest rate swap agreements is included in interest expense. The Company does not enter into interest rate swaps for speculative or trading purposes. A summary of the Company’s interest rate swaps follows:
Inception | Maturity | Notional Amount (in millions) | Interest rate paid | Interest rate received | ||||||
February 2006 | February 2011 | $ | 800 | 5.00 | % | LIBOR | ||||
January 2008 | February 2011 | $ | 750 | 3.17 | % | LIBOR | ||||
February 2008 | February 2010 | $ | 750 | 2.71 | % | LIBOR | ||||
January/February 2009 | February 2012 | $ | 1,200 | 1.78 | % | LIBOR | ||||
Total / Weighted Average interest rate | $ | 3,500 | 3.01 | % | ||||||
Below are the fair values of interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 (in millions):
Balance Sheet Location | Fair Value | |||||||
December 31, 2008 | March 31, 2009 | |||||||
Interest rate contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments | Other accrued expenses | $ | 98 | $ | 103 | |||
The table below summarizes the impact of the effective portion of interest rate swaps on the balance sheets and statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 (in millions):
Three months ended March 31, | Financial Statement Classification | |||||||||

Gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income (effective portion) | (3 | ) | (15 | ) | Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs |
The Company has no ineffectiveness related to its swap agreements.
5. 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 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
Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
F-54
Index to Financial Statements
The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2009 (in millions):
Fair Value Measures Using | Total | |||||||||||
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||
Assets | ||||||||||||
Clearing broker assets - securities owned | $ | 34 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 34 | ||||
Liabilities | ||||||||||||
Clearing broker liabilities - customer securities sold short, not yet purchased | $ | 3 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 3 | ||||
Interest rate swap agreements | — | 103 | — | 103 | ||||||||
$ | 3 | $ | 103 | $ | — | $ | 106 | |||||
Clearing broker assets and liabilities – securities owned and customer securities sold short, not yet purchased are recorded at closing exchange-quoted prices. Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are calculated using a discounted cash flow model using applicable market swap rates and assumptions and are compared to market valuations obtained from brokers. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the fair value of retained interest in accounts receivable sold (a Level 3 measurement) decreased to zero due to the termination of the Company’s off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization program from $285 million at December 31, 2008 resulting from purchases, issuances and settlements. Retained interest in accounts receivable sold was calculated using a discounted cash flow model using an applicable market interest rate and assumptions based upon collection period.
6. 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):

In accordance with the Management Agreement between the Company and affiliates of the Sponsors, the Company recorded $4 million and $5 million of management fees in sales, marketing and administration expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, $10 million and $5 million, respectively, was included in other accrued expenses.
9. Subsequent Event:
On June 9, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, (a) extends the maturity date of $2.5 billion of its dollar-denominated term loans, £40 million of pound sterling-denominated term loans, and €120 million of euro-denominated term loans to February 28, 2016, (b) reduces existing revolving credit commitments to $829 million and extends the termination date of $580 million of revolving credit commitments to May 11, 2013, and (c) amends certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including provisions relating to negative covenants and financial covenants.
Interest rate spreads with respect to the extended term loans and interest rate spreads (and letter of credit fees) with respect to the 2013 revolving credit facility will be the applicable rate as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement and may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. All other interest rate spreads and fees remain unchanged.
Based on the leverage ratio for the period ended March 31, 2009, the current interest spread for extended LIBOR based loans is 3.625% and for 2013 revolving credit loans is 3.25%. The commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the 2013 revolving credit commitments is 0.75%.
10. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:
SunGard’s senior notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis and the senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all wholly owned, domestic subsidiaries of SunGard (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by SunGard. None of the other subsidiaries of SunGard, either direct or indirect, nor any of the Holding Companies guarantee the senior notes and senior subordinated notes (“Non- Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the senior secured credit facilities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders
GL Trade S.A.
42 rue Notre Dame des Victoires
75002 Paris
France
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of income, recognized income and expense, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GL Trade S.A. at December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by International Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GL Trade S.A.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GL Trade S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows, and recognized income and expense for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GL Trade S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
As discussed in the note “Accounting principles and methods” to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on 6 March 2007 and 7 March 2006 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and then amended on 26 November 2008 in order to translate them into English, to issue one set of financial statements covering the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and also to disclose that the consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
GL TRADE SA (“the Company”) is a French domiciled company.
The address of the Company’s registered office is 42, rue Notre Dame des Victoires, 75002 Paris. The consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”) and the Group’s share in associated companies. The Group provides the international financial community with a full range of software solutions to cover the entire order flow, from the dispatch of an order to post-trade settlement.
Accounting principles and methods
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) effective as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively as issued by the IASB and in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively.
The standards, amendments and interpretations effective as from 1 January 2007 were applied to the 2007 consolidated accounts, and have had no material effect on the financial statements for that year. These standards, amendments and interpretations are as follows:
• | Amendments to IAS 1 on additional information regarding share capital; |
• | IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 |
• | IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2, regarding share-based payments; |
• | IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives; |
• | IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment. |
Additional information required by IFRS 7 is presented in the consolidated financial statements.
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations effective as from 1 January 2009, were not applied for 2007:
• | IAS 1 (revised) Presentation of financial statements |
• | IFRS 8 Operating Segments, |
• | Amendments to IAS 23 regarding borrowing costs, |
• | IFRIC 11 Group and Treasury Share Transactions, |
• | IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements, |
• | IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, |
• | IFRIC 14 Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset and Minimum Funding Requirement. |
The potential impact of the above pronouncements on Group consolidated financial statements is being assessed by management.
The consolidated financial statements have been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on 10 March 2008, 6 March 2007, 7 March 2006 for years ended in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and then amended on 26 November 2008 in order to translate them in English, to issue one set of financial statements covering the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and also to disclose that the financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
F-70
Index to Financial Statements
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand. The consolidated financial statements are established on the basis of historic cost, except for the following assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value: derivative financial instruments, financial instruments held for trading, and available-for-sale financial assets.
Non-current assets and groups of assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their book value and their fair value less disposal costs.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Group’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The underlying estimates and assumptions are made on the basis of past experience and of other factors considered to be reasonable in the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions serve as the basis for the exercise of judgment, as required when determining values for assets and liabilities that can not be obtained directly from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The effect of changes in estimates is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised, and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements and which may carry substantial risk of adjustment in subsequent years is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The major line items affected by such judgments are Other Intangible assets, Goodwill, Deferred taxation, Financial liabilities and Provisions.
Accounting methods have been consistently applied by all Group entities.
Note 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; subsidiaries are consolidated on the full consolidation method under which all balance sheet and income statement accounts of the consolidated companies are integrated (after necessary consolidation adjustments and elimination of intra-group transactions and balances). Shareholders’ equity and net income (loss) are then allocated to other shareholders and minority interests.
The cost of an acquisition corresponds to the total of the fair value of the assets acquired, equity instruments issued and liabilities assumed or incurred at the date of transfer, plus costs directly related to the acquisition. The identifiable assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially assessed at fair value at the date of acquisition, regardless of minority interests. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Where the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.
F-71
Index to Financial Statements
Associates
Associates are those entities in which the group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of net income /loss of equity accounted investees, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Transaction eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign currency translation
The euro is the functional currency of GL TRADE SA and is the currency in which the accounts of the company are presented.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are converted to the functional currency at the exchange rate effective on that date. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss in the income statement.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and valued at their historic cost are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and valued at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from acquisition, are translated to euros at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, are translated to euro at the average exchange rates over the period. Foreign currency differences are recorded as currency translation adjustment directly in equity.
Net investment in a foreign business
Translation differences arising from the conversion of a net investment in a foreign business and the associated hedging are accounted as currency translation adjustment. They are accounted for in the income statement if and when the Group withdraws from the foreign business.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes are determined using the balance sheet method. The group treats deferred tax using the ‘liability method’ for all timing differences between the inclusion of assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at their reported value and their value for tax purposes, with the exception of:
• | goodwill which is not tax deductible |
• | the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and, |
• | differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. |
F-72
Index to Financial Statements
The valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities is determined by the manner in which the Group expects to recover or settle the value of assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, using the tax rates that have been adopted, or effectively adopted, at the balance sheet date.
The net balance of deferred tax items is determined on the basis of the tax status of each Group entity or the income for tax purposes of all Group entities included in the tax consolidation scope. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Dividends
Any dividends paid by one of the Group entities to another of the Group entities are eliminated in the calculation of net profit for the Group.
Goodwill
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations.
For business combinations occurring after the Group’s transition to IFRS on 1 January 2004, goodwill represents the difference between the acquisition cost and the corresponding share of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, any identifiable liabilities and any contingent liabilities.
For business combinations occurring prior to the Group’s transition to IFRS on 1 January 2004, goodwill is maintained at its book value as calculated under previous accounting methods. In preparing the opening balance sheet under IFRS at 1 January 2004, the Group did not change the classification and accounting treatment of acquisitions occurring prior to 1 January 2004.
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units and is not amortized, but is subject to an impairment test on an annual basis or at any time that there is an indication that value may have been impaired. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.
Negative goodwill on an acquisition is immediately accounted for in the income statement after a re-examination of the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.
Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
Revenue recognition
Revenue is reported for the financial year to which it relates. Revenue from operating activities is generated from the services provided by GL TRADE to its clients. Revenue from these services is recognized according to one of the following models, depending on the type of product sold:
• | Solutions sold as a subscription: under this billing model, GL TRADE grants its clients the right to use software and provides them with associated maintenance, technical support, hot-line and update services, at no extra cost, over the subscription period. Revenue is billed in advance and recognized straight line over the life of the contract starting from the installation date. |
• | Associated services: the sale of solutions is often bundled with associated services, such as project management, installation and training. These services are billed and revenue is recognized upon the performance of the service. Revenues from bundled arrangements are allocated to the individual elements based on their relative fair value. |
• | Solutions sold in the form of a license with associated maintenance contract: licenses give the right to use software and are generally granted for a limited period (3 to 5 years). Revenue from licenses is |
F-73
Index to Financial Statements
recognized in its entirety at the time of installation at the latest, with revenue from annually renewable maintenance contracts recognized straight line over the contract period. |
• | Projects including a license and specific development and/or significant integration services: at the contract proposal phase complex projects are divided up into a number of phases corresponding to the services accepted by the client. Revenue is recognized as work is completed, on the basis of technical milestones achieved. The percentage of completion is determined by assessing the work already completed at the end of the financial period. |
• | Royalty fees are paid to stock markets based on the number of displays utilized by end-user customers, and are recharged to such customers. Access to stock market data is part of a full service offering and the related fees are recognized as revenue since GL Trade is the primary obligor. |
Leases
Leases are accounted for as finance leases if they transfer nearly all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the leased assets to the lessee.
In particular, contracts are considered as financial lease contracts if:
• | they allow for automatic transfer of ownership at the end of the contract, or |
• | they offer a purchase option that is likely to be exercised during or at the end of the contract, or |
• | they have a term close to the expected useful life of the asset, or |
• | the present value of minimum payments under the contract is close to the fair value of the asset. |
Assets financed through finance leases are classified in the balance sheet as property and equipment at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of minimum payments under the lease contract at the reception date and are depreciated, and the corresponding liabilities are classified as short- or long-term debt.
Lease payments are broken down between financial costs and principal payment of the debt.
Assets under finance lease are depreciated using the same method used for property and equipment of the same type.
Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
Employee benefits
Retirement benefits
Defined contribution retirement plan
Contributions relating to the defined contribution retirement plans are reported as expenses in the income statement when incurred.
Defined benefit plans
The Group’s liabilities under defined benefit retirement plans are calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. Valuation and other calculations are performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. The Company’s actuarial debt is the sum of the liabilities thus calculated for each of its employees.
The Group recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans directly in equity immediately.
F-74
Index to Financial Statements
When the valuation of the net obligations results in the recognition of an asset at the Group’s level, the amount recorded in relation to this asset is limited to the unrecognized prior service costs and the fair value of any future plan repayment.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group provides non-transferable share-based payment plans that give some employees options to acquire shares in the Group. The cost of share-based payment plans is recognized in the income statement with an offset to equity over the vesting period, after which the employees become the beneficial owners of the shares.
When the options are exercised, equity is increased by the amount of the payment received. The cost of share-based payment plans is the grant date fair value of options granted to employees. Fair value of the options is determined using the Black-Scholes model.
The Group applied the transitional provisions of IFRS 1 regarding share-based payments, limiting its application to grants made after 7 November 2002.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is calculated on the basis of any changes in the share capital and corrected for shares held in treasury by the Group.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potentially dilutive ordinary shares are those stock options where the strike price is lower than the fair value price of the Group’s share.
The method used to calculate the dilutive effect of these instruments is the share purchase method. This method determines the theoretical number of shares that could be bought at the market price for the amount of the option strike price. The number of shares thus calculated is subtracted from the total number of shares that would be issued if all options outstanding were exercised, to give the additional number of shares to be used in calculating the diluted earnings per share figure.
Net finance income (cost)
Net financial income (cost) includes interest on financial liabilities, calculated using the effective interest rate method, interest earned on investments, dividends income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and gains and losses on hedging instruments reported in the income statement.
Interest income is recorded in the income statement when earned, using the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income is recorded in the consolidated income statement when the Group acquires the right to receive payments.
Interest costs included in payments under finance lease contracts are recorded using the effective interest rate method.
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
F-75
Index to Financial Statements
Intangible assets
Research and development costs
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining technical knowledge, is recognized as an expense as incurred.
Development costs with a view to developing or industrializing a new product or production process are capitalized as intangible assets if the company can demonstrate that:
• | it is technically feasible to develop the intangible asset to the stage of use or sale; |
• | it has the intention, and financial capacity, to pursue the development project to completion; |
• | it has the capacity to use or sell the intangible asset thus created; |
• | it has available financial and technical resources which will enable the development and the sale; |
• | the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits in a given manner; |
• | the cost of this asset can be assessed in a reliable way. |
The expenditure capitalized includes the direct labor and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.
These capitalized expenditures are recorded as an intangible asset at cost less amortization and any cumulative impairment of value.
Other development expenditure is recognized as expense as incurred.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization
Amortization is recognized in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis or on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset, based on which ever method provides a more accurate rate at which the future economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Amortization is not recognized for intangible assets where the estimated useful life is indefinite.
Goodwill is not subject to amortization. Instead, the Group performs impairment tests at the balance sheet date and when there is an indication that the value of goodwill may have been impaired.
Amortization of intangible assets is recognized beginning from the date that the assets are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods range from 1 to 5 years.
Property and equipment
Acquired property and equipment
Property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where components of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separated items of property and equipment.
Expenditure occurring after acquisition
The Group recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred and if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied in the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. Other costs are recognized in the income statement as an expense when incurred.

Amortization
Amortization is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, or using the accelerated amortization method when it more accurately reflects the use of the future economic benefits of the asset. Amortization takes into account the residual value corresponding to the amount the Group would currently receive for the disposal of the asset, after deduction of related costs, if the asset was already of the age and in the expected condition at the end of its useful life.
Land is not amortized.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Property and equipment | Period | Method | ||
Building and investment property | 20 years | Straight line | ||
Computer Equipment | 3 to 4 yrs | Accelerated amortization | ||
Leasehold improvements | 5 to 10 yrs | Straight line | ||
Vehicles | 4 to 5 yrs | Straight line | ||
Office equipment and furniture | 3 to 5 yrs | Straight line |
Financial instruments
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial instruments producing payments that are or can be determined and which are not listed on an active market. They exclude those assets that the entity has classified as being held for trading or available for sale. In particular, these loans and receivables include deposits and guarantees on assets held under lease and loans granted to partners.
Held-for-trading financial assets are those financial assets acquired mainly to generate a profit, from price variations, in the short term.
Available-for-sale financial assets are those financial assets which are not held-for-trading, issued by the group or held until their due date, or designated as such.
Loans granted by the Group are recorded on the balance sheet at their value on the date of grant or of their transfer to the Group. The classification of the financial asset and the valuation method applied is determined on the date of acquisition based on management’s intention.
Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, held-for-trading and available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. As an exception, financial instruments for which a trading price on a liquid market is not available and whose fair value may not be determined in a reliable manner are kept at cost, net of transaction costs, and deduction of any impairment.
Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity. When available-for-sale financial assets are sold, transferred or redeemed, the cumulative gain or loss is recorded in the income statement. When an available-for-sale financial asset experiences an other-than-temporary impairment in value, fair value is adjusted and depreciation is recorded in the income statement under “Net financial income (loss)”, to the extent of the cumulative balance in shareholders’ equity.
Changes in the fair value of held-for-trading financial assets are recorded in the income statement.
Financial liabilities, other than those classified as held-for-trading, are recognized initially at fair value less transaction costs, and then at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of financial instruments is determined by the market price at the balance sheet date.
F-77
Index to Financial Statements
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial instruments. They are recorded at fair value when first recognized, and then at their amortized cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term investments that are readily convertible in cash. Bank overdrafts, repayable on demand and which form an integral part of the Group’s cash management activities, are included as an element of cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement.
Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value on the contract day, and classified on the consolidated balance sheet line item “Non- current financial assets.” Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recorded in the consolidated income statement.
The fair value of derivative instruments is provided on a quarterly basis by third party financial institutions which ensure the reliability of such information.
The fair value of derivative instruments used in 2007 for interest rate hedging is given in Note 25.
IAS 39 requires that hedge effectiveness is assessed upon the initiation of the hedge strategy and throughout the use of the strategy in order to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedge effectiveness is measured by matching the variations in the value of the hedging instrument against the underlying hedged item; the actual results should remain within a range of 80% to 125%.
When a derivative is reclassified (no longer qualifying under IAS 39 for hedge accounting), the fair value of the derivative is transferred from the shareholders’ equity to the income statement over its useful life.
The amount of equity transferred to the income statement is adjusted based on the accumulated depreciation at the discontinuation date set against the total number of days of hedge accounting.
The Group uses derivative instruments to hedge against interest rates risk, and not for market speculation purposes.
Impairment
Assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that they are impaired. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time, even in the absence of impairment indicators.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flow, the recoverable amount is determined for the lowest cash generating unit of assets.
Impairment tests are carried out using discounted future cash flow methods. Their purpose is to ensure that the recoverable amount at the balance sheet date is greater than the net book value of the asset recorded on the balance sheet. Should this not be the case, an impairment loss will be recognized equal to the difference between the recoverable value of these assets and their net book value.
F-78
Index to Financial Statements
For goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets which are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss may be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities related to undertakings to buy out minority interests
Put Options to acquire minority interests in fully consolidated subsidiaries are recorded as Financial liabilities. The counterpart of this debt is booked against minority interests with the balance being recorded as goodwill. The exercise price of the put is revalued at its fair value at each financial year end and changes in its fair value are recorded to goodwill.
Loans
Interest-bearing loans are initially recorded at fair value after deduction of related transaction costs. Subsequently loans are recorded at amortized cost and the difference between the cost and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate.
Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A provision for loss-making contracts is recorded when the Group’s expected future benefits relating to a specific contract are less than the costs that will be incurred to meet contractual obligations.
Trade payables and other liabilities
Trade payables and other liabilities are stated at their amortized cost.
Current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group) are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Impairment losses on initial classification of an asset (or group of assets) as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in the consolidated income statement, irrespective of whether or not the assets have previously been recorded under the periodic revaluation method. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments. The Group has identified various segments within its range of products.
Segmentation by product type is the primary segmentation used.
For the marketing of its products, GL TRADE has structured its segment reporting by product lines:
• | Trading Solutions / Client Connectivity |
• | Post Trade Derivatives |
• | Post Trade Securities |
• | Capital Market Solutions |
• | Information Services |
With the exception of the activities of GL SETTLE INC, no changes of the Business Lines resulted in a reallocation of their respective activities relative to previous years in 2007. The Capital Market Solutions (“CMS”) Business Line now includes the FNX Group, acquired in February 2007. CMS now handles the TxPress product from GL SETTLE INC., which was formerly part of the PTS Business Line.
The new Information Services Business Line was created in 2007, subsequent to the acquisition of INFOTEC, and specializes in the distribution of the Group’s financial data. Decision Software, which specializes in Fixed Income, was acquired in mid-November of 2007, and is currently consolidated by the Group.
Each business unit is in a position to sell all of the product’s line, and adapts the Group’s overall strategy into regional and local action plans. Each has its own inherent risks and returns.
The Group’s financial reporting system is organized in such a way that it is able to monitor the accounts of each Product Line. Budgeting and quarterly budget reporting are carried out by Product Line in order to monitor the profitability of each business unit.
Geographical segmentation is the secondary segmentation used.

Income statement details in 2007
On actual figures, revenue rose by 10.0% to €203.3 million in 2007, and 13% at constant exchange rates.
At constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates from 2006 through 2007, revenue would have risen by 7%.
The adjusted figure is calculated by subtracting EMOS and NYFIX OVERSEAS revenues purchased in 2006, the FERMAT business sold early in 2007 and the revenue of FNX Ltd BUSINESS CORPORATION, INFOTEC and DECISION SOFTWARE Inc., acquired in 2007.
Income statement details in 2006
On actual figures, revenue rose 3.1% to €184.8m in 2006. At constant scope of consolidation, revenue would have been €182.5m in 2006. The adjusted figure is calculated by subtracting revenue at EMOS and GL OVERSEAS INC (formerly Nyfix Overseas), which were acquired on 1 July and 25 August 2006 respectively.
There was no significant impact from currency movements in 2006 (less than 0.5%). At constant exchange rates revenue would have reached €185.6 million for the year.
Income statement details in 2005
On actual figures, revenue rose 19.4% to €179.2 million in 2005. Adjusted for changes in the scope of consolidation, revenue would have been €177.7 million in 2005. The adjusted figure is calculated by subtracting revenue at OASIS (now GL SETTLE US), which was acquired on 1 July 2005, and including revenue at DAVIDGE and UBITRADE for a full year in 2004.
The impact of currency movements was not significant in 2005. At constant exchange rates revenue would have reached €180.3 million for the year.

For purposes of comparison, clients in 2005 and 2006 were regrouped to match the 2007 breakdown. Revenue by client was determined based on legal entities belonging to the same Group, even if orders were not centralized at that particular Group’s headquarters.
In spite of constant concentration in the financial sector, the weighting of our main clients by revenue remains very stable from one year to the next. The slight slip in the weighting of our main clients in 2007 compared to 2005 and 2006 can be attributed to the discontinuation of FERMAT products, which was distributed to some of our top ten clients.

Note 5 - Personnel costs
Analysis of personnel costs by type
€ ‘000s | Year ended 12/31/07 | Year ended 12/31/06 | Year ended 12/31/05 | |||

Total | 103,165 | 88,288 | 85,642 | |||
Personnel costs amounted to €103 million, the largest cost item for the Group, accounting for 50.7% of revenue compared to 50.5% in 2006, excluding discontinued operations (FERMAT distribution, mainly outsourced).
Since December 2006, the number of employees has increased by 253 persons, with 151 employees from the FNX Group (essentially in the US with 87 employees, and in Serbia with 56 employees), 41 employees from the INFOTEC Group (mainly in Switzerland) and 14 employees from DECISION SOFTWARE Inc. in the US.
At a constant scope of consolidation, the number would have risen by 47 persons (4.1%, which is less than the organic growth rate). Teams were reinforced in Tunisia, our main growth center in Europe after Paris (115 employees at end December), as well as Singapore (19 employees) to handle the implementation of a large client contract. In its other locations, the Group has continued its resource rationalization efforts in line with trends in revenue.
At 31 December 2007, GL TRADE Group had 1,408 salaried employees in all its subsidiaries.
Valuation of share-based payments
The Group applies IFRS 2 to stock option plans granted after 7 November 2002. This standard requires that the company recognize personnel costs corresponding to the fair value of services received over the vesting period. Personnel costs therefore include the fair value of stock options awarded to the Group’s employees on 13 August 2007. In 2006 and 2005, Personnel costs include the fair value of stock options awarded to the Group’s employees on 29 November 2004. In 2005, Personnel costs also include the fair value of stock options awarded to the Group’s employees on 24 October 2003.

In 2007, 160,000 stock options were awarded, and the corresponding compensation expense booked for this stock option plan amounts to €126,000.
Previous share option plans generated no personnel costs for 2007, as the vesting period for previous share option plans has ended.

Index to Financial Statements
The reduction in direct costs resulted from 3 factors:
• | lower distribution fees paid to SIA subsequent to the mid-2006 renegotiation of the distribution agreement with this Italian partner; |
• | the sale of the FERMAT distribution business early in 2007, which reduced to nil the distribution fees to FERMAT (€3.3 million in 2006) and decreased outsourced consulting for contracts by 90%; |
• | the July 2007 acquisition of INFOTEC, whose business is providing stock market data to its clients. This accounts for the sharp increase in the costs for acquisition of financial market information. |
• | In 2006, the reduction in direct costs of around 2% was mainly due to the reduction in distribution royalties paid to SIA, which were renegotiated by GL TRADE and SIA over the course of the year, and to the internalization of consulting fees for Fermat clients in Germany. |
Leases
The Group has entered into operating lease contracts for its vehicle fleet and some office equipment. The Group has signed standard leases for its office property in compliance with local laws. These contracts were initially signed for periods ranging between 3 and 9 years, with options to renew on expiry. In general, rent levels are reviewed on an annual basis to account for market conditions.

Some leases on GL TRADE SA’s Paris locations came up for renewal in the first half of 2007, which explains the increase in lease commitments.
The impact of acquisitions on the schedule of lease payments due at less than one year amounts to €500,000.

The net financial income (loss) was sharply affected by the €1 million increase in financial expense relating to new loans taken by the Group to finance its acquisitions. The net financial income (loss) related to currency translation differences amounted to a negative €0.1 million (versus a negative €0.8m in 2006), and had only a slight impact on the total result.

“Other” mainly refers to the difference in tax rates on income from discontinued businesses, totaling €985,000.
Income tax was adjusted for the capital loss on the sale of the FERMAT operations. The €48,000 impact is taken into account by the disposed activities. Presentation of this capital loss as a value net of tax diminishes the Group’s consolidated net income before tax, giving rise to a permanent difference of €985,000 to offset the presentation impact. The other permanent differences derive from consolidation treatment, spread over all of the Group’s subsidiaries.
“Difference in foreign company tax rates” refers to the differences between tax rates of individual foreign companies and the theoretical tax rate of the parent company. The Group’s Tunisian subsidiaries are corporate tax exempt, representing a theoretical tax charge of €1,115,000.
Note 9 - Net income from discontinued operations
The €1,834,000 figure corresponds to the net profit from the sale of UBITRADE Gmbh, the company in which the Group’s FERMAT business was lodged at 1 January 2007.

Index to Financial Statements
The increase in “Computer Equipment & Leasehold Improvements” in 2007 is due to the renewal of the Group’s systems hardware. The impact of acquired entities in the scope of consolidation on property and equipment fixed assets accounts for €600,000 net of depreciation.
The Group did not recognize any provision for impairment for years ended 2007, 2006, and 2005.

EMOS SAS
Changes in 2007
The GL TRADE Group, within the 12-month time limit allowed by IFRS 3, attributed the initially recognized goodwill to identifiable intangible assets, valuing the Client List as such at fair value. The excess earnings method was used to value this intangible asset at €367,000. This increase in total intangible assets results in a €241,000 decrease in goodwill (net of deferred tax).
Changes in 2006
The acquisition of Emos SAS in July 2006 gave rise to goodwill of €4,406,000.
GLESIA
Changes in 2007
The Group revised its valuation assumptions for the financial debt recorded in 2006, in accordance with IAS 32, in connection with the conditional purchase of SIA’s GLESIA shares by GL TRADE. In 2007, the difference was recorded as an increase in goodwill and in non-current financial liabilities, in the amount of €1,540,000.
Changes in 2006
The undertaking by GL TRADE SA to acquire shares in GLESIA held by SIA under certain conditions was renegotiated during 2006. The Group reviewed the assumptions used in valuing the financial debt recorded in 2005, in accordance with IAS 32, and recorded the difference in value as an increase in goodwill and a corresponding increase in non-current financial liabilities. This resulted in a €1,622,000 addition to goodwill.
Changes in 2005
The shareholders’ agreement between GL TRADE SA and SIA (minority shareholder in GLESIA, with a 49% stake) creates for GL TRADE SA an undertaking to buy the shares held by the minority shareholder under certain circumstances. The Group has accounted for this undertaking in accordance with IAS 32. It is recorded as
F-93
Index to Financial Statements
a financial liability at the discounted present value of the purchase price, which is offset by a reduction in minority interests and, for the balance, an increase of €4,402,000 in goodwill. Subsequent changes in the value of this undertaking are recorded by adjustments to goodwill (excluding discounting effects).
The shareholders’ agreement also allowed for a preferred dividend to be paid to SIA in additional compensation for SIA’s partial contribution of assets to GLESIA. The €950,000 dividend paid in 2005 in relation to 2004 earnings was recorded as goodwill. The preferred dividend on 2005 earnings, paid in 2006, was recorded as goodwill, for an estimated value of €630,000 at 31 December 2005.
In addition, the other dividends paid in relation 2004 and 2005 earnings (€283,000), representing the balance between total dividends and preferred dividends, were also considered as being part of goodwill. The Group believes that the formula for valuing the exercise price for the buy-out option of minority interests represents the fair value of the portion of shareholders’ equity acquired.
Lastly, the Group did not allocate the goodwill arising from this transaction, as separately identifiable assets were not identified.
At 31 December 2005, the discounted value of the obligation was €4,893,000, the share of minority interests that would be acquired was €775,000 and the additional goodwill was €5,982,000, including dividends related to 2004 and 2005 earnings.
GL TRADE OVERSEAS Inc.
Changes in 2007
The purchase price was reduced by US$1,318,000 over the period subsequent to the final calculation of the company’s Working Capital Requirement upon the date of acquisition, which was taken into account at acquisition as part of the purchase price.
At 31 December 2007, the Group estimated that an additional US$2,714,000 should be paid to the former shareholders of NYFIX OVERSEAS Inc. This figure was based on probable assumptions of revenue at 31 December 2007.
Changes in 2006
The acquisition of all shares in NYFIX OVERSEAS Inc (GL Overseas Inc) resulted in the recording of €8,168,000 of goodwill.
GL TRADE Americas Inc.
Changes in 2007
The final purchase price for buying back the 2.5% stake from the minority shareholder in GL TRADE Americas Inc. amounts to US$868,000 and was paid in January 2007. The liability recorded at 31 December 2006 amounted to US$793,000; the difference has been booked to goodwill.
Changes in 2006
In August 2006, GL TRADE Holdings Inc acquired from Mr Gérard Varjacques his 5% holding in GL TRADE Americas Inc. The first tranche, representing 2.5% of the capital, was paid for in cash, with the second half being paid for by an exchange of GL TRADE Americas Inc shares for GL TRADE SA shares.
During 2006, changes to the underlying assumptions used in valuing the shares acquired by GL TRADE under its undertaking resulted in an adjustment to goodwill of €419,000. The liability related to the 2.5% of the shares that had not been acquired at 31 December 2006 is recorded as other current liabilities.

Index to Financial Statements
Changes in 2005
An agreement between GL TRADE SA and Mr Gérard Varjacques, director of GL TRADE Americas Inc who owns 5% of its shares, creates for GL TRADE SA an undertaking to acquire the shares held by Mr Varjacques under certain conditions. GL TRADE has accounted for this undertaking in accordance with IAS 32. It is recorded as a financial debt, counterbalanced by an increase in goodwill of €544,000 and a reduction in minority interests of €491,000 at 31 December 2005.
DAVIDGE Inc was acquired in November 2004 and merged with GL TRADE Americas Inc in January 2005. Within the 12-month allocation period allowed under IFRS 3, the GL TRADE Group allocated the goodwill initially recorded for this acquisition to identifiable assets, placing a fair value on the “client portfolio” and “technology” assets. The Group used the excess earnings method in valuing these intangible assets at €353,000. This allocation to intangible assets was offset by a €230,000 reduction to goodwill on the acquisition net of deferred tax. In addition, DAVIDGE’s loss carried forward was capitalized to offset the goodwill arising on the merger of DAVIDGE and GL TRADE Americas Inc, for a value of €349,000, reducing goodwill by the same amount.
FNX Group
The acquisition of all the shares in FNX Ltd Business Corporation on 1 March 2007 led to the recognition of goodwill for US $35,917,000.
The Group is currently carrying out additional analysis to ensure that there are no other identifiable assets separable from goodwill. As a result of this work, the values identified at 31 December 2007 could be adjusted within the twelve-month period from the date of acquisition allowed under IFRS 3.
The acquisition agreement provides for payment of a price supplement based on revenue and backlog assumptions. The Group recorded a price supplement of US$2,290,000 to goodwill.
In accordance with IFRS 3, the non-current debt recorded for the price supplement was discounted.
INFOTEC Group
The acquisition of a 90% stake in INFOTEC SA on 6 July 2007 gave rise to a goodwill entry of CHF25,613,000. INFOTEC SA was absorbed by GL TRADE Schweiz AG in a merger transaction at net book value. The restructuring has no impact on the initial valuation of the goodwill.
The Group is currently carrying out additional analysis to ensure that there are no other identifiable assets separable from goodwill. As a result of this work, the values identified at 31 December 2007 could be adjusted within the twelve-month period from the date of acquisition allowed under IFRS 3.
The conditional commitment of GL TRADE SA to purchase the rest of the INFOTEC SA shares from minority shareholders was recorded as financial debt at the balance sheet date, in accordance with IAS 32. The difference in value was recognized as an increase to goodwill and in non-current financial debt, at a discounted present value of CHF4,239,000.
DECISION SOFTWARE Inc.
The acquisition of all the shares in DECISION SOFTWARE Inc. on 16 November 2007 gave rise to goodwill of US$9,841,000.
The Group is currently carrying out additional analysis to ensure that there are no other identifiable assets separable from goodwill. As a result of this work, the values identified at 31 December 2007 could be adjusted within the twelve-month period from the date of acquisition allowed under IFRS 3.
F-95
Index to Financial Statements
The acquisition agreement calls for a price supplement based on 2008 revenue assumptions. At present, the Group has recorded a price supplement of US$1,902,000.
In accordance with IFRS 3, the non-current debt entered for the price supplement has been discounted.
Ubitrade
Changes in 2006
The final valuation of the price supplement determined in April 2006 was due to former shareholders of Ubitrade SA at that time, and was below the amount estimated at 31 December 2005. The difference between the two figures was €472,000. This was recorded as a reduction in goodwill on Ubitrade in June 2006, and then reclassified as an asset classified as held for sale at 31 December 2006, given that it related to an adjustment of the price of the Fermat business.
Changes in 2005
The €3,722,000 increase in goodwill on the UBITRADE SA acquisition relates to the provision made for a price supplement payable under the acquisition contract and based on the performance of Fermat.
In accordance with IFRS 3, GL TRADE has allocated part of the goodwill to identifiable assets. The assets identified are as follows:
The price supplement values the client portfolio of the Fermat distribution business, and this constitutes an identifiable asset under the criteria of IAS 38. This asset is recorded as an intangible asset, set against a reduction in goodwill, for its value, net of tax, of €2,320,000.
Within the period of allocation of twelve months allowed under IFRS 3, the GL TRADE Group allocated the goodwill initially recorded to identifiable assets, valuing the “client portfolio” and “technology” assets at their fair value. The Group used the excess earnings method to value these intangible assets at €3,211,000. This increase in intangible assets was counterbalanced by a €2,089,000 reduction in goodwill (net of deferred tax).
The amount of goodwill on the UBITRADE acquisition was affected by €3,198,000 of tax loss carry-forwards of certain subsidiaries dating from before the acquisition. In order to offset the effect of these gains on profits, goodwill was reduced by the same amount.
GL TRADE BV
The acquisition price for Robijn Groep, acquired in 2004, has been adjusted due to the meeting of targets defined in the price adjustment clause of the purchase contract. An additional €200,000 was paid to former shareholders.
GL SETTLE Inc.
The acquisition of GL SETTLE Inc (ex OASIS) in July 2005 gave rise to goodwill of €3 million. Within the period for determination of goodwill of 12 months from the date of acquisition, as allowed under IFRS 3, GL TRADE allocated part of goodwill to identifiable assets, valuing the client list asset at fair value. The Group valued this intangible asset at €399,000. This increase in intangible assets was counterbalanced by a €261,000 reduction in goodwill (net of deferred tax). The maximum price supplement payable on this acquisition is US$3 million. Currently, no price supplement has been recorded as the likelihood that the triggering conditions will be met has not been demonstrated.

Impairment tests
In accordance with IAS 36, the GL TRADE Group has carried out tests for impairment of value on all goodwill recorded on the balance sheet at 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005. The Group has allocated each goodwill element to a Cash-Generating Unit, and has performed tests to ensure that the recoverable value of each Cash-Generating Unit is greater than its book value.
To perform this test at 31 December 2007, GL TRADE has used the discounted future cash flow method over a five-year period, based on the budget for 2008 and the business plan forecasts for the remaining four years.
The before tax discount rates used were 17.3%, 13.05% and 13.27% at 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The terminal value assumes perpetual growth in revenue of 2.5%.
With respect to the tests at 31 December 2006, GL TRADE has used the discounted future cash flow method over a five-year period, based on the budget for 2007 and the business plan forecasts at 31 December 2006 for the remaining four years.
With respect to the tests at 31 December 2005, GL TRADE used a discounted cash flow model, based on the 2006 budget and the forecasts of the three-year business plan at 31 December 2005.
The impairment tests carried out at 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005 did not result in any charge for impairment of goodwill. Sensitivity tests, in which key assumptions of the valuation are changed, were carried out by the Group. These tests did not call the recoverable values of the Cash Generating Units into question.

Software sold
In 2005 software sold includes a €4.3m reduction corresponding to the exclusion of the GL CLEARVISION software acquired August 1999 and now fully amortized. The version of this software that is now marketed has been entirely reworked over the last 5 years.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets consist of assets identified during additional analysis of the goodwill elements of the UBITRADE and DAVIDGE acquisitions.
For UBITRADE and DAVIDGE, the Group has placed a value of €3 million on “Technology” intangible assets of the two acquired companies, to be amortized over five years using the accelerated method (rate of future economic benefits), and of €540,000 for “Client portfolio” assets amortized over five years, which is the average renewal period of client contracts.
The charge to amortization for 2005 on technology and client portfolio assets was €1,450,000.
Lastly, €3,565,000 corresponds to the price supplement payable in 2006 by GL TRADE to former UBITRADE SA shareholders. This represents a client portfolio asset amortized over three years on the accelerated method (reflecting the rate of future economic benefits), the period for which the GL TRADE Group enjoys exclusive distribution rights on Fermat products. An amortization charge of €1.9 million was booked against this asset in 2005.

Other intangible assets
For 2006 the increase of €399,000 over the year mainly represents the identification of the GL Settle Inc’s client list as a separate asset for €397,000. This asset will be amortized over 10 years. Amortization for 2006 was €95,000.
Amortization of other intangible assets resulting from the allocation of goodwill made in 2005 was €2,000,000 (including €1,100,000 for the Fermat distribution business).
Of the €3,572,000 reduction in this item, €3,565,000 related to the reclassification of Fermat assets classified as held for sale. The associated amortization was also reclassified, resulting in a €3,000,000 reduction.

The fund is two-thirds invested in bonds, with some 17% in equities and 10% in property assets. In 2007, the gross yield on the underlying assets was 5.1%.

Employees of newly acquired US companies do not have a defined benefit retirement plan, so the inclusion thereof in the scope of consolidation had no impact on retirement benefit liabilities at 31 December 2007.
The Group did not subscribe to any mutual or multi-employer retirement benefit plans.
At 31 December 2006, the total liability was €830,000. Retirement benefit liabilities were calculated using a discount rate of 4.50%, inflation of 2%, an average increase in employee numbers of 2%, and a retirement age of

Outstanding litigations
In September 2005, US company Trading Technologies (TT) confirmed its claim against GL TRADE SA and GL TRADE Americas Inc before the Illinois Court, accusing the companies of having included in their software elements that TT claims were protected by its patents in the USA. This claim follows a dozen others claims launched against some of its competitors and clients.
To date, the plaintiff’s demands are not quantified. GL TRADE SA, created several years before TT, believes that it has substantial prior art that would be an important point in its defense. Considering this, no provision was made against this claim at 31 December 2007.
The provision made in 2007 for legal fees in connection with this dispute amounted to €1,600,000.

The Group’s financial reporting system is organized in such a way as to monitor the accounts of each business line. The 2007 budget has been prepared using the same basis, and Quarterly Business Line budget reporting is performed to ensure that profitability can be monitored in each area.
This structure was introduced over the course of 2005, the year in which the businesses acquired had their most significant effect on the Group’s accounts.
Geographical segmentation is the secondary segmentation used.
The Group has created Business Units which are responsible for action plans to implement locally the Group’s global strategy. They adapt the plans to suit the potential and the technical, regulatory and cultural specificities of each market. Each has its own inherent profitability and specific risks.

• | UBITRADE SA was removed from the register of companies on 28 January 2008 subsequent to winding up without liquidation. GL TRADE SA assumed its assets and liabilities. The transaction was the result of legal, accounting and tax rationalization, with no effect on operations. |
• | On 18 February 2008, the GL TRADE Group acquired a 30% stake in a French company, NEXFI. The Group has also become the exclusive and international partner for the distribution of the new generation of multi-instrument portfolio management software (PMS). Through this transaction, GL TRADE intends to develop synergies with existing Buy Side solutions and confirm its ambition to become a key partner in the international Buy Side community. NEXFI has been active in the French financial community for several years and has a substantial client base including French and international financial institutions. In 2007, NEXFI brought in US$3.4 million in revenue and currently employs thirty persons in Paris. This company will be consolidated according to the equity method. |

Note 35 - Risk management
Financial instruments concern mainly the following:
• | Client receivables, |
• | Cash, |
• | Trade payables, |
• | Financial liabilities. |
F-120
Index to Financial Statements
At 31 December 2007, the GL TRADE Group held only derivative financial instruments used for managing interest rate risks. Initially, fair value is equivalent to the premium amount. Bank institutions provide updates on the value of theses instruments at the end of each quarter to enable the company to adjust the fair value of its financial assets.
Performance
“Trade receivables” at 31 December 2007 showed €54,460,000 versus €47,519,000 in 2006 and €68,945,000 in 2005, increasing by 14.61 % between 2006 and 2007, proportional to the increase in revenue over the same period. The revenue increase reflects the Group’s organic growth and acquisitions over FY 2007.
Impairment on uncertain trade receivables due to client insolvency was valued at €411,000 at 31 December 2007, compared to €340,000 in 2006 and €606,000 in 2005.
The GL TRADE Group does not engage in speculation, but makes only risk-free investments in financial instruments available for sale, recognized at fair value. They are money market mutual funds and short-term investments which generated net fair value of €775,000. At 31 December 2007, financial instruments available for sale amounted to €315,000 compared to €2,765,000 in 2006 and €6,174,000 in 2005.
At 31 December 2007, “Trade payables” amounted to €16,808,000 compared to €11,096,000 in 2006 and €12,002,000 in 2005. The €5,712,000 variation between 2006 and 2007 is related to new companies in the scope of consolidation (€2.7 million), a time lag payment to suppliers due to the implementation of SAP software in the Group’s two largest subsidiaries and of the early invoicing of certain trade creditors (€3 million).
Derivative financial instruments used by the Group for managing interest rate risks were recognised at fair value on the balance sheet under “Financial assets”. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised directly in the income statement as financial costs. At 31 December 2007, the fair value of these financial instruments amounted to €141,000 (see Note 25).
Financial instruments are valued by the financial institutions which provided them to the Group.
Borrowings taken out in 2007 financed the acquisitions of the Group’s new subsidiaries. The total debt for this purpose amounts to €30,518,000. The direct impact on the year’s net income was a €1,690,000 increase in interest expense, up by €1,051,000 compared to 2006 and by €1,297,000 in 2005.
The various covenants (see Note 33) in connection with these loans were complied with at 31 December 2007.
Measuring risk on financial instruments
Credit risk
The Group’s clients are mainly financial institutions or stock brokers. At 10 March 2008, the Group is not directly affected by the subprime crisis and considers that its clients are credit worthy. The “in advance” payment terms for the Group’s subscribed services partly protect it from this risk.
The outstanding balance of “Trade receivables” at 31 December 2007 stood at €54,460,000 (see Note 15) and their overdue time is less than 120 days.
The Group follows its trade receivables with particular attention. Each subsidiary submits a monthly statement of customer receivables to the parent company, which reviews how long such payments have been overdue. This data is also reviewed on a quarterly basis by central management to assess which outstanding receivables are potentially at risk based on time overdue, and ensures that steps have been taken to cover such risk (collection action, provisions). Accounting impact is assessed based on the probability of risk on a case-by-case basis.
F-121
Index to Financial Statements
At 31 December 2007, “Impairment provisions” on trade receivables amounted to €411,000, or about 1% of outstanding trade receivables.
The impact on the income statement of so-called doubtful receivables at 31 December 2007 was as follows:
• | €34,000 for bad debts written off |
• | €70,000 for provisions for impairment of trade receivables |
• | €60,000 for reversals of provisions for impairment on trade receivables |
for a total impact of €44,000 on 2007 net income.
Liquidity risk
The invoicing terms implemented by the Group (payment in advance) for subscriptions to its services create a large cash reserve at the beginning of a period and generate structurally negative working capital. The recurring contract base at the beginning of a financial year (subscriptions and maintenance) accounts for approximately 80% of the Group’s annual revenue.
The Group entered into borrowings for €30,518,000 over the year to finance its acquisitions. The Group’s net debt amounts to €27,252,000 including €9,909,000 financial liabilities for undertakings to buy out GLESIA and INFOTEC shares, which excluding price supplements due for companies acquired.
The Group has not encountered any payment defaults, and has been able to honor its payable debts all through 2007 and previous financial years.

• | Current financial liabilities: |

Market risk
This risk concerns:
Interest rates risk
The GL TRADE Group invests most of its available cash in short-term money market mutual funds or in interest-bearing accounts that are risk free and track market interest rates. As a result, GL TRADE is not exposed to significant interest rate risk on its investments.
The Group has debt with lending institutions for €41 million (see Notes 20 & 24). These loans are at variable rates based on 3-month and 12-month Euribor depending on the due date. Loans initially taken out with due dates over one year out are hedged by derivative instruments.
The sensitivity of financial charges to a 1% change in short-term interest rates is insignificant.
Exchange rate risks
Each GL TRADE subsidiary bills mainly in its own local currency, with Asian subsidiaries also billing clients in US dollars. The portion of revenue now generated by subsidiaries outside the euro zone amounted to 61% of the 2007 total, with 16% in the US, 20% in the UK, 16% in Asia and 9% in other countries.
In 2007, the impact of foreign exchange trends on revenue was negative and affected growth by 3%.
GL TRADE has limited the effect on margins by pursuing a policy of strict cost control and ensuring that costs are incurred in currency zones where they generate revenues. In addition to distribution costs, which are local in nature, development costs are increasingly being decentralized from the Group’s headquarters.
The Group does not use Forex hedging instruments to guarantee its cash flows.
The evaluation of consolidated net assets held in foreign currencies shows that the Group is exposed to a risk of €227,000, assuming a negative and uniform movement in the euro’s exchange rate of 1 euro centime compared to all of the currencies considered from its rate at 31 December 2007.
Translation differences from converting foreign business revenues and affecting the Group’s consolidated reserves at 31 December 2007 amounted to €7,113,000, an increase of €5,590,000 compared to 31 December 2006 and of €7,457,000 compared to 31 December 2005.
Price risk
The price risk is low due to the amount of financial assets exposed, and was negligible for both 2005 et 2006 for reasons involving the Group’s financial policy. Cash assets are invested in short-term money market mutual funds or placed in risk free interest bearing accounts.
Risk of hedge accounting
The GL TRADE Group is not exposed to hedge accounting risk because it has opted not to use hedge accounting for its derivative financial instruments.

Accounting rules and methods
GL Trade SA is a company domiciled in France. The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2008 include the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”) and the Group’s equity in associate or jointly controlled companies.
All the accounting rules and methods used by the Group are presented in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 are available upon request from the Company’s registered offices at 42, rue Notre Dame des Victoires, 75002 Paris, or from the www.gltrade.com website.
Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim financial reporting”. They should be read in conjunction with the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007. The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2008 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as those used to prepare the full-year consolidated 2007 financial statements.
The interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 August 2008.
Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros. They are established on the basis of historical cost, with the exception of those assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, i.e. derivative financial instruments, financial instruments held for trading purposes and financial instruments classified as available for sale.
Non-current assets and groups of assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Estimates
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to exercise judgment, make estimates and use assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of asset, liability, income and expense amounts. Actual values may differ from the estimated amounts.
For the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, methods used in the exercising of judgement by management in applying the Group’s accounting methods and the main sources of uncertainty regarding its estimates are identical to those described in the full-year consolidated financial statements for 2007.
Accounting methods have been applied in a uniform manner by all Group companies.

Index to Financial Statements
Changes in the first half of 2008 came mainly from the increase in financial and stock market data procurement costs (up €4,085,000). This increase was attributable to the acquisition in July 2007 of the INFOTEC group specialized in the distribution of financial data.
Other expenses varied in proportion to revenue owing notably to the external growth transactions completed in 2007. The acquisitions of the INFOTEC group and of DECISION SOFTWARE Inc. were completed during the second half of 2007. Since the acquisition of the FNX group was completed on 28 February 2007, only four months of activity were included in the interim 2007 consolidated financial statements.

Foreign exchange differences resulted in a loss for the Group of €631,000 in the first half of 2008, compared with a loss of €50,000 in the first half of 2007.
Cost of debt during the first half of 2008 exceeded those incurred in the first half of 2007 by €335,000 following the borrowings arranged in February and November 2007 in order to finance the Group’s external growth.
The Other financial costs item primarily reflects the dividends paid to minority shareholders in Glesia, which were accounted for under goodwill in the previous year.

GL TRADE OVERSEAS Inc.
The final earn-out payment to the former shareholders of GL OVERSEAS Inc. (previously NYFIX OVERSEAS Inc.) was made on 17 June 2008 amounting to US$2.296 million.
At 31 December 2007, the Group recognised US$2.714 million in respect of this earn-out payment.
FNX group
The GL TRADE group finalised its additional analysis concerning the allocation of the FNX goodwill to identifiable items separable from goodwill within the twelve-month period from the date of acquisition available under IFRS 3.
The goodwill value was impacted by an increase of US$143,000 following adjustments made to the opening balance sheet of the FNX group’s subsidiaries concerning current assets and a reduction of US$5.072 million deriving from the recognition of tax losses recognized prior to the acquisition of FNX LIMITED BUSINESS CORPORATION (see Note 12 on deferred tax assets).
In addition, the GL TRADE group revised its assumptions concerning the earn-out payment due to the former shareholders of the FNX group. It considers that no earn-out payment will have to be made and has recognised a reduction in goodwill of US$2.290 million.
INFOTEC group
The GL TRADE is currently carrying out additional analysis concerning the allocation of the INFOTEC goodwill to identifiable items separable from goodwill within the twelve-month period from the date of acquisition allowed under IFRS 3.
The goodwill value was impacted solely by the recognition of the tax losses recorded prior to the acquisition amounted by of CHF10.272 million (see Note 12 on deferred tax assets).
F-137
Index to Financial Statements
The assumptions concerning the measurement of the debt arising on the option to buy out minority shareholders were maintained, and the value recognised in goodwill stands at CHF4.239 million, which is identical to that recognised at 31 December 2007.
DECISION SOFTWARE Inc.
The acquisition of 100% of the shares in DECISION SOFTWARE Inc. on 16 November 2007 gave rise to the recognition of US$9.841 million in goodwill.
In parallel, the Group is conducting additional analyses to ensure that there are no other identifiable items separable from goodwill. Depending on the outcome, the value determined at 31 December 2007 may possibly be modified within the twelve-month period from the date of acquisition available under IFRS 3.
The acquisition agreement provides for an earn-out payment to be assessed based on projected revenue as at year-end 2008. At 31 December 2007, the Group set aside a provision for an earn-out payment of US$1.902 million. At 30 June 2008, this amount did not change.

The Group recognised tax losses incurred prior to the acquisition of the FNX and INFOTEC groups in respective amounts of €3.217 million and €6.398 million in accordance with IAS 12.

Employee benefits comprise the tax on employee profit sharing and the employer contribution to be paid to French employees.
The deferred tax asset on Working Capital Requirements (WCR) items primarily comprise prepaid income and provisions for personnel costs in foreign subsidiaries.

Note 18 - Litigation
In September 2005, US company Trading Technologies (TT) confirmed its claim against GL TRADE SA and GL TRADE Americas Inc before the Illinois Court, accusing the companies of having included in their software elements that TT claims were protected by its US patents. This claim follows a dozen other claims launched against some of its competitors and clients.
The proceedings are ongoing. To date, the plaintiff’s demands have not been quantified. The GL TRADE SA group, created several years before TT, believes that it has substantial prior art that would be an important point in its defence. Accordingly, no provision was set aside to cover this claim in the financial statements at 30 June 2008.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data of SunGard Data Systems Inc. as of December 31, 2008 have been derived by applying pro forma adjustments attributable to the GL TRADE S.A. acquisition and related debt financing (the “Transactions”) to our historical audited financial statements. We have based our unaudited pro forma adjustments upon available information and assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances. Our unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Transactions occurred for the period indicated, nor does it purport to represent our future results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2008 gives effect to the Transactions as if they were consummated on January 1, 2008. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with this unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data.
In our unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data, we have accounted for the GL TRADE S.A. acquisition as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Under purchase accounting, the total acquisition consideration is allocated to our assets and liabilities based upon preliminary estimates of fair value. The final allocations of acquisition consideration will be based on management’s final valuation analyses, which we expect to be completed in mid-2009. Any adjustments based on these final valuation analyses may change the allocations of the acquisition consideration, which could affect the fair value assigned to our assets and liabilities and could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Data
(Unaudited)
The pro forma combined condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the companies had been combined during the period presented or the results that may be obtained in the future.
Note 1 – GL TRADE Historical Financial Information
GL TRADE S.A. (GL TRADE) has a calendar yearend. GL TRADE’s financial position and results of operations have been translated into English from previously issued financial statements. The GL TRADE financial data included in this pro forma combined condensed financial data is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This financial data is derived from GL TRADE’s historical financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB and in accordance with IFRS adopted by the European Union. SunGard has concluded that there are no material differences between GL TRADE’s financial position and results of operations under IFRS compared to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Historical GL Trade amounts were converted to US dollars using the average exchange rates during the period for the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of Operations. GL TRADE’s historical results are for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Note 2 – SunGard Historical Financial Information
SunGard’s historical financial information as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which includes the results of GL TRADE from October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
Note 3 – Allocation of the purchase price
The allocation of the estimated $629 million purchase price is preliminary and is subject to change based on the completion of independent appraisals of intangible assets, actual costs as compared with estimated costs used in the preliminary purchase price allocation, and completion of financial information as of October 1, 2008, the date of closing of the acquisition. The finalization of the allocation of the purchase price which we expect to be completed in mid-2009 will result in adjustment to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with an offsetting increase or decrease to goodwill, and could impact amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and therefore results of operations.
Note 4 – Other tangible and intangible assets
The Company is completing its determination of the fair values of certain acquired technology, contracts, customer relationships and trade name. To assist with this determination, the Company has engaged an independent appraisal firm. The estimated fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets, and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions and competition. The fair value of these intangible assets will be amortized, on a straight line basis, over their estimated useful lives, which for software, customer base and trade name, we currently estimate to be approximately seven years, ten years and ten years, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be evaluated for impairment. Deferred income taxes have been provided for the step-up in basis of intangible assets excluding goodwill.
Note 5 – Financing of the acquisition
In connection with the acquisition of GL TRADE, SunGard borrowed $500 million under a secured incremental credit facility and $500 million through issuance of Senior unsecured notes. The interest rate of credit facility debt will adjust periodically. For purposes of the pro forma financial statements, the weighted interest rate on the debt is assumed to be approximately 9.2%. For every one-eighth percent adjustment to the interest rate, interest expense increases or decreases by $1.25 million per year and net income increases or decreases by $0.8 million per year. The pro forma rules require using current borrowing rates and do not reflect rates that would have been charged during the periods presented. In addition, estimated fees associated with the financing of the acquisition have been capitalized and will be amortized over the relevant period of the debt.
Note 6 – Income taxes
Assumes an effective income tax rate equal to the statutory rates in France and the US, as appropriate. The actual effective tax rate may be different due to the mix of income from different jurisdictions.
