                          FISERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have
been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The
financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do
not contain certain information included in the annual financial statements and
notes of Fiserv, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"). The Company declared a
3-for-2 common stock split to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2001,
payable on August 31, 2001. The financial and share information presented herein
for all periods has been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

2. Accounting Change and Derivative Instruments
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate
changes. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," as amended, which requires that all derivative
instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative
instrument is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair
value of the derivative instrument are either recognized in net income or in
other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in net income.
The adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001, resulted in a cumulative after-tax
reduction to accumulated other comprehensive income included in Shareholders'
equity of $2.7 million.

3. Accounting Standards To Be Adopted
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No.
142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested
for impairment at least annually. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 on January
1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on
its financial statements.

4. Business Combinations
During the first nine months of 2001, the Company completed seven acquisitions
accounted for by the purchase method for total cash consideration of
approximately $141.2 million. In addition to cash consideration, the Company
also issued approximately 330,000 unregistered shares of its common stock in
conjunction with one of the acquisitions. The operations of these acquisitions
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of
acquisition. The Company does not anticipate any significant adjustments to the
purchase price allocations. Pro forma information for acquisitions is not
presented as the impact was not material.

5. Restructuring and Other Charges
In the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded $12.3 million of pre-tax
charges consisting of severance and related termination benefits, future lease
and other contractual obligations, and disposal and write-down of assets. These
charges relate to management's plan to improve overall business efficiencies by
consolidating the Company's securities processing operations and eliminating
duplicate operational functions. As of September 30, 2001, the remaining
accruals related to these charges were $10.0 million.

Revenues
Revenues increased 15.0% from $406.2 million in the third quarter of 2000 to
$467.2 million in the current third quarter, and 14.3% from $1,219.0 million in
the first nine months of 2000 to $1,393.7 million in the comparable current
period. Revenue growth was primarily derived from sales to new clients,
cross-sales to existing clients, price increases and revenues from acquired
businesses. Revenue growth was positively impacted by strong growth of $215.3
million for the first nine months of 2001 compared to 2000 in the Financial
institution outsourcing, systems and services segment which is the Company's
main operating segment. Revenue growth was negatively impacted by the Securities
processing and trust services segment, primarily due to significantly lower
transaction volumes from overall weakness in the United States retail financial
markets in 2001. Revenues for the Securities processing and trust services
segment declined $54.2 million for the first nine months of 2001 compared to
2000, excluding a $12.0 million termination fee received in the second quarter
of 2001 from a broker-dealer customer acquired by a third party. Revenues from
acquired businesses approximated 50% of total revenue growth in the first nine
months of 2001.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased 15.2% from $328.0 million in the third quarter of
2000 to $378.0 million in the current third quarter, and 15.0% from $982.5
million in the first nine months of 2000 to $1,129.5 million in the first nine
months of 2001. The make up of cost of revenues has been affected by business
acquisitions and changes in the mix of the Company's business. In the second
quarter of 2001, the Company recorded charges of $12.3 million, as explained in
Note 5 above.

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets increased from $8.4 million in the third
quarter of 2000 to $8.9 million in the current third quarter, and decreased from
$31.2 million in the first nine months of 2000 to $26.6 million in the first
nine months of 2001. The decrease in amortization for the first nine months of
2001 compared to the prior period was due primarily to an impairment charge
recorded in the second quarter of 2000.

Operating Income
Operating income increased 14.1% from $78.2 million in the third quarter of 2000
to $89.2 million in the current third quarter, and increased 11.7% from $236.6
million in the first nine months of 2000 to $264.2 million in the first nine
months of 2001.

Realized Gain from Sale of Investment
During the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded a pre-tax
realized gain from sale of investment of $4.3 million and $5.8 million,
respectively.

Income Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate was 40% in 2001 and 41% in 2000. The effective
income tax rate is expected to remain at 40% for the remainder of the current
year.

Net Income
Net income for the third quarter increased 17.6% from $44.7 million in 2000 to
$52.6 million in 2001. Net income for the first nine months increased 16.9% from
$132.9 million in 2000 to $155.4 million in 2001. Net income per share-diluted
(excluding realized gains from sale of investment) for the third quarter was
$.27 in 2001 compared to $.22 in 2000. Net income per share-diluted (excluding
realized gains from sale of investment) for the first nine months of 2001 was
$.80 compared to $.68 in the comparable 2000 period.

Revenues in the Financial institution outsourcing, systems and services business
segment increased from $307.1 million in the third quarter of 2000 to $393.6
million in the current third quarter, and increased from $913.3 million in the
first nine months of 2000 to $1,128.6 million in the comparable current period.
Operating income in the Financial institution outsourcing, systems and services
business segment increased from $56.9 million in the third quarter of 2000 to
$83.6 million in the current third quarter and increased from $166.7 million in
the first nine months of 2000 to $241.8 million in the first nine months of
2001. Operating margin improvement in the first nine months of 2001 when
compared to 2000 was primarily due to continued revenue growth, operational
efficiencies and increased operating leverage of existing operations.

Revenues in the Securities processing and trust services business segment
decreased from $82.7 million in the third quarter of 2000 to $57.0 million in
the current third quarter, and decreased from $256.8 million in the first nine
months of 2000 to $214.6 million in the comparable current period. The revenue
decrease for the first nine months of 2001 was primarily related to
significantly lower transaction volumes in the Securities processing and trust
services segment due to overall weakness in the United States retail financial
markets, partially offset by a termination fee of $12.0 million received in the
second quarter of 2001 from a broker-dealer customer acquired by a third party.
Operating income in this business segment decreased from $22.4 million in the
third quarter of 2000 to $7.5 million in the current third quarter, and
decreased from $72.8 million in the first nine months of 2000 to $28.0 million
in the first nine months of 2001. In the second quarter of 2001, the segment
recorded charges of $12.3 million, as explained in Note 5 above. Operating
margins were lower in 2001 when compared to 2000 due primarily to significantly
reduced transaction volumes for securities processing services.

Long-term obligations amounted to $250.3 million at September 30, 2001 and
included $166.2 million advanced under an aggregate of $547.0 million in
revolving credit facilities. The Company has used a significant portion of its
cash flow from operations for acquisitions and capital expenditures with any
remainder used to reduce long-term debt. The Company believes that its cash flow
from operations together with other available sources of funds will be adequate
to meet its funding requirements. In the event that the Company makes
significant future acquisitions, however, it may raise funds through additional
borrowings or issuances of securities.
