We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. as of January 31, 1996, and the related combined statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. at January 31, 1996, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements January 31, 1996 1. Accounting Policies Description of Business NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. design, develop and market asset management software, primarily for bank trust departments. This includes systems for personal trust asset management for individuals and corporate trust applications such as stock and bond transfer systems. Basis of Presentation The 1995 financial statements are presented on a combined basis and include the accounts of NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. (combined, the "Company"), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of National Computer Systems, Inc. ("NCS"). Upon combination, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. All numbers shown are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. Use of Estimates The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Those assumptions and estimates are subject to constant revision, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Equivalents All investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair market value. 6 NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 1. Accounting Policies (continued) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Significant improvements are capitalized to property, plant and equipment accounts, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Rental income from equipment held for lease is recognized as earned using the operating method of accounting for such leases. Depreciation is based on the assets' estimated useful lives ranging from two to forty years. Revenue Recognition Revenue from software product sales, fixed fee software licensing and support, and hardware maintenance is recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales and software licensing is recognized at the time of shipment, except in instances where material fulfillment obligations exist beyond shipment. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until such obligations are substantially fulfilled or is recognized in accordance with specific contract terms. Hardware maintenance and software support revenues are recognized ratably over the contractual period. Revenue from other services is recognized when such service is performed. In addition, the Company periodically sells the contracts resulting from software licensing agreements and hardware leases to third-party finance companies. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present. The Company will be subject to SFAS No. 121 in the quarter ending April 30, 1996 and, based on current estimates and assumptions, believes the effect of adoption will not be material. 7 NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 1. Accounting Policies (continued) Allocated Expenses The Company has certain expenses reflected in its financial statements which have been allocated from National Computer Systems, Inc. These expenses include employee benefits and computer systems charges, and are allocated based on gross payroll and computer usage, respectively. Management believes that the allocation method used is reasonable, and approximates the actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated entity. Interim Financial Information The accompanying financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of the management of the Company, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1996. 2. Acquired and Internally Developed Software Products Acquired software product amounts originate from the allocation of purchase prices of acquired companies and direct acquisition of software or rights of software. These products are generally large, complex, mission-critical application software packages with established market positions. Products in this category are generally assigned lives of five years. Internally developed software products represent costs capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. Accordingly, software production costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, as defined, are capitalized. Amortization of these products is computed on a product-by-product basis ratably as a percentage of estimated revenue, subject to minimum straight- line amortization over the products' estimated useful lives of two to five years. Expected revenues and useful lives are estimates which are subject to changes in technology and marketplace requirements and are, therefore, subject to revision. The Company periodically evaluates its software products for impairment by comparison of the carrying value of the product against anticipated product margins. The carrying value is adjusted, if necessary. 8 NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 2. Acquired and Internally Developed Software Products (continued) A summary of software activity is as follows: Internally Accumulated Acquired Developed Amortization Total ------------------------------------------- Balance at January 31, 1995 $10,720 $4,905 $(6,178) $ 9,447 Additions 516 4,090 - 4,606 Dispositions (381) - - (381) Amortization - - (2,315) (2,315) ------------------------------------------- Balance at January 31, 1996 $10,855 $8,995 $(8,493) $11,357 =========================================== 3. Recourse Liability The Company periodically sells certain hardware leases and software licensing agreements to a finance company, which may include recourse provisions to the Company. As of January 31, 1996, the Company's maximum recourse liability was $1,850. 4. Leases The Company leases office facilities under noncancelable operating leases which expire in various years through 2001. Rental expense for all operating leases was $2,151. Future minimum rental expense as of January 31, 1996, for noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year is $4,881 and is payable in the years ending January 31, as follow: 1997-- $1,644; fiscal 1998--$1,511; fiscal 1999--$729; fiscal 2000--$465; fiscal 2001-- $180. 9 NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 5. Credit Arrangements The Company has an $825 unsecured revolving credit facility that terminates on October 31, 1996. Interest on debt outstanding under this facility is fixed monthly as a function of market conditions, based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in relation to the Swiss Franc. On January 31, 1996, the interest rate was at 3.31%, which is approximately 1.50% above LIBOR. The revolving credit facility is guaranteed by NCS. The Company also has a $990 unsecured revolving credit facility with an open ended termination date. Interest on debt outstanding under this credit facility is 6.25%. The revolving credit facility allows the bank, on behalf of the Company, to issue letters of credit against the facility. The letters of credit reduce the available borrowings of the facility. As of January 31, 1996, letters of credit totaling $206 had been issued. The revolving credit facility is guaranteed by NCS. 6. Income Taxes The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows: Current ---------------------- Federal State Foreign Deferred Total ---------------------- --------------- Year ended January 31, 1996 $2,844 $366 $(202) $562 $3,570 Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of January 31, 1996 are as follows: Deferred tax assets: Foreign operating loss carryforwards $100 Reserves for uncollectibles 109 Other 27 ----- Total deferred tax assets 236 10 NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A.

Employee Benefit Plans Employee Savings Plan The Company participates in the qualified 401(k) Employee Savings Plan of National Computer Systems, Inc. Employees can contribute a maximum of 15% of their gross wages and NCS contributions are discretionary. The NCS matching contributions to the Plan on behalf of the Company were $282. Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Company participates in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) of National Computer Systems, Inc. covering substantially all employees. Benefits, to the extent vested, become available upon retirement or termination of employment. The NCS contribution to the Plan on behalf of the Company was $151. 11 NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 8. Fair Values of Financial Instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the estimates and assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. At January 31, 1996, the carrying value of the Company's financial investments approximated their fair value at that date. 9. Geographic Information Operating Net Income Revenue (Loss) Assets ---------------------------------------- Fiscal 1995: United States $ 50,386 $ 9,563 $ 29,112 Foreign 7,707 (530) 3,987 ----------------------------------------- $ 58,093 $ 9,033 $ 33,099 ========================================= 10. Subsequent Event On July 10, 1996, NCS sold their interest in the Company to SunGard Data Systems Inc. 12 APPENDIX II Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income assume that the acquisition of NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. (collectively,"NCSF") had occurred on January 1, 1995, combining the results of SunGard Data Systems Inc. ("SunGard" or the "Company") and NCSF for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996 reflects the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 1996. The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and NCSF after giving effect to the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting and assumptions and adjustments considered appropriate by the Company, certain of which are described in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. The pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that actually would have been obtained if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto of SunGard and NCSF. The historical financial statements of NCSF and the related notes thereto are included herein. The historical financial statements of SunGard and the related notes thereto have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are available from SunGard upon written request.

PF-4 SunGard Data Systems Inc. Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information (1) Adjusted to reflect two-for-one stock split which occurred in July 1995. (2) The NCS Financial Systems, Inc. (NCSF) fiscal year ends on January 31, 1996; therefore, the combined statement of income for NCSF is for the period February 1, 1995 through January 31, 1996. (3) The Company has engaged a nationally recognized, independent appraisal firm to express an opinion on the fair market value of the assets acquired to serve as the basis for allocation of the purchase price to the various classes of assets acquired. This appraisal is not yet completed; therefore, the allocation and resulting purchase price amortization included in these pro forma financial statements are preliminary estimates and are subject to change. The Company expects to record a one-time charge of approximately $37.0 million (approximately $22.0 million net of income tax benefit), representing that portion of the purchase price related to acquired in- process research and development. Acquired in-process research and development represents the value of software products still in development and not considered to have reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition. This one-time charge is not included in the pro forma income statement since this charge is non-recurring in nature, directly attributable to the acquisition, and will be charged to operations by the Company in the third quarter of 1996. (4) Estimated increase in amortization of intangible assets resulting from the purchase of NCSF. (5) Estimated reduction in interest income resulting from the use of $95.0 million cash to acquire NCSF. (6) Assumed income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments, using an effective income tax rate of 40.5%. (7) Represents cash purchase price of $95.0 million. (8) Estimated adjustments to fair market value.
