Item 1. Business
 
Overview

  SunGard Data Systems Inc. (the "Company") is a computer services company that
specializes in proprietary investment support systems and comprehensive computer
disaster recovery services.  The Company believes that it is the only large
specialized provider of investment support systems to the financial services
industry, as well as the pioneer and a leading provider of comprehensive
computer disaster recovery services.  The Company's business approach is to
focus on markets in which it has opportunities to develop or acquire leading
products and advantageous market positions.

  The Company seeks to maximize recurring revenues by selling most of its
computer services under fixed-term contracts and by emphasizing customer support
and product quality in order to establish long-term relationships with
customers.  The Company's recurring revenues are derived primarily under
contracts for remote processing services, disaster recovery services and
software maintenance, which together accounted for approximately 83% of the
Company's total revenues during the last three years (84% in 1993).  Of the
total number of the Company's remote processing and disaster recovery services
contracts that were scheduled to expire during the last three years,
approximately 86% were renewed or replaced with new contracts (85% in 1993).
While there can be no assurance that this renewal rate will not decline, the
Company believes that it will continue to renew a high percentage of these
contracts.  None of the Company's customers individually accounted for more than
two percent of the Company's revenues in 1993.

  The Company's operations are decentralized, and its management philosophy is
one of "controlled entrepreneurship."  The Company's services are provided
through separate business units, which are organized into five groups of related
businesses, as follows:

  Each group is directed by its own management team and has its own sales,
marketing, product development, operations and customer support personnel.
Overall corporate control and coordination are achieved through centralized
budgeting, financial and legal reporting, cash management and strategic
planning.  The Company believes that this approach has facilitated more focused
marketing, specialized product development, responsive customer service and
highly motivated management.

                                       1

 
  The Company is a Delaware corporation that was organized in 1982 to acquire
certain computer services companies from Sun Company, Inc.  The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 1285 Drummers Lane, Wayne,
Pennsylvania, 19087, and its telephone number is (610) 341-8700.

Investment Support Systems

  The Company designs, markets and maintains a comprehensive family of
proprietary investment support systems for the financial services industry.  The
fundamental purpose of these systems is to automate the complex accounting
calculations, record keeping and reporting associated with investment
operations.  The Company markets its investment support systems throughout the
United States and internationally.

  The Company delivers its investment support systems primarily as remote data
processing services using the Company's computer equipment and also through
software licenses for use on its customers' computers.  The Company provides
investment support remote processing services primarily from its computer
centers in Birmingham, Boston (two centers), Charlotte, Fairfield (New Jersey),
London, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Sydney and Voorhees (New Jersey)  (see
Properties on page 13).  As of December 31, 1993, the Company had approximately
1,550 remote processing contracts in force.  These contracts generally have
initial terms of one to three years and then continue for successive, one-year
renewal terms, although some allow the customer to terminate on relatively short
notice.

  During the past three years, the Company's investment support systems business
has increased significantly in both size and scope, due primarily to
acquisitions (see Acquisitions and Offerings on page 10).  During 1993, the
Company continued consolidating its investment support products and marketing
activities.  This included ongoing product unification and enhancement to
provide customers with access to multiple systems and data through common
graphical interfaces and shared databases.  The Company also continued evolving
its mainframe computer systems by converting some systems to client-server
technology and by developing sophisticated personal computer and workstation
front-end products for others.  Also during 1993, the Company continued to add
multicurrency functionality to its systems and pursue opportunities to market
more of its systems internationally, especially in Europe.

  Investment Accounting and Portfolio Management Systems.  The Company's
investment accounting and portfolio management systems maintain the books of
record for all types of large investment portfolios such as those managed by
banks, mutual funds, employee retirement plans and insurance companies.  The
primary functions of these systems are to accept investment transactions, value
portfolios using transmissions of security prices received from various
worldwide sources, perform complex accounting calculations and general ledger
postings, and generate a variety of accounting, audit, tax and regulatory
reports.  In addition, some of these products are used by investment advisers
and other portfolio managers to manage large investment portfolios.  These
systems track investment activities such as purchases and sales, combine these
activities with outside market data such as security prices and quality ratings,
and provide analytical models to assist with investment strategy and management
decisions.

  The following table lists the Company's principal investment accounting and
portfolio management systems, the hardware systems they require, their modes of
delivery to customers and their primary markets.  Some of these products can
process information in multiple foreign currencies.

  During 1993, the Company completed the UNIX workstation version of INVEST ONE.
The Company also developed major enhancements for INVEST ONE to account for
complex securities including multicurrency options and futures and mortgage-
backed securities.  PRISM is a new product added during 1993 as a result of the
Company's acquisition of the business of Information Systems of America, Inc.
(see Acquisitions and Offerings on page 10).  In 1993, ON-SITE, which provides
multicurrency functionality in a UNIX workstation version, was formally
introduced and sold as a system for client-server environments in two major
transactions, one involving a large European company.

  Securities and Derivatives Trading and Accounting Systems.  The Company's
securities and derivatives trading and accounting systems are used primarily by
the so-called "sell side" of the investment business.  The users of these
products generally are traders or dealers of securities or derivative
instruments (including those trading for their own accounts) and their back-
office operations.  In addition to performing many investment accounting
functions, the Company's securities and derivatives trading and accounting
systems maintain inventories of unsold securities, process trade activities,
provide risk management capabilities, and assist users in determining hedging
strategies and monitoring compliance with audit limits, trading limits and
government regulations.  The Company's principal software products in this
category are:

  In 1993, the Company licensed GSM--GLOBAL SECURITIES MANAGER/TM/, a 
multicurrency system for client-server environments designed to be used on any
platform, to several banks and continued development work on the system (see
Product Development on page 9).  In 1993, the Company enhanced the BOLT product
line by adding an interface for the clearing of mutual funds.  As a result of
the acquisition of Digital Solutions, Inc., the Company acquired rights to Fi-
Trac(R), consisting of on-line clearing and settlement interfaces to two major
New York clearing banks (see Acquisitions and Offerings on page 10).

  The Company directly markets The Devon Derivatives, Futures and Securities
Systems--all referred to as The Devon System(R)--throughout the world, except in
Japan where the system is exclusively marketed by a representative that is
entitled to certain percentages of the license and maintenance fees generated
from sales in Japan.

  The Devon Derivatives System is comprised of one or more modules depending
upon the types of derivative instruments traded. These modules include, among
others, Devon Swaps/TM/ for interest rate and currency swaps, Devon Options/TM/
for interest rate caps, floors, collars and debt options, Devon Bonds/TM/ for
bonds and floating rate notes, Devon FRAs/TM/ for forward rate agreements, loans
and deposits, and Devon FX/TM/ for spot and forward foreign currency trades and
over-the-counter foreign currency options. Several modules, including the module
with newly developed Sybase SQL client-server functionality, incorporate certain
software developed by third parties. The Company holds worldwide licensing
rights to this software and in some cases is required to pay royalties. OPTAS
provides trading and risk management of exchange-traded derivative instruments.

  In 1993, several additional products were added to the Devon Futures System
product line as a result of the acquisitions of the FORTE(R) system of ICCH
Financial Markets Limited and the FIRST FUTURES(R) system of Microtech Financial
Systems (Europe) Limited.  INTRADER is a new product added during 1993 as a
result of the Company's acquisition of the business of Digital Solutions, Inc.
(see Acquisitions and Offerings on page 10).

  Trust and Global Custody Systems.  The Company's trust systems automate the
investment operations unique to the bank trust business including cash
management, management of specialized assets such as real estate and oil wells,
preparation of tax returns for taxable trusts, payment of trust expenses,
payment of benefits to retirees, and other customer service duties.  The
Company's global custody systems automate the functions associated with the
worldwide custody and safekeeping of investment assets, such as trade
settlement, investment income collection, preparation of client fee

                                       4

 
statements, tax reclamation, foreign exchange, and reconciliation of depository
and sub-custodian positions. The Company's principal trust and global custody
systems are:

  In 1993, the Company continued selling OMNITRUST ES as a remote processing
service, including a multimillion dollar sale to a major midwest bank.  The
Company offers specialized trust asset custody services to its AUTOTRUST
customers and other banks and trust companies.  These services are provided
under a master contract with The Bank of New York (the "Bank").  The Bank holds
the customers' trust assets, and the Company handles account record keeping and
customer communications.  The Company is liable to the Bank for any unpaid
obligations of the Company's Custody Services customers that exceed the value of
their assets held in the Bank's custody.

  In 1993, the Company introduced a new product, EXPEDITER/TM/, which
facilitates the automated entry of mutual fund transactions. The first major
implementation of this product was concluded with the Company entering into an
arrangement with a major mutual fund company to provide automated entry services
for users of AUTOTRUST.

  Shareholder Accounting Systems.  The Company's shareholder accounting systems
automate the transfer agent process for stock, bond and mutual fund issues.
These systems maintain shareholder and bondholder positions, process dividend
and interest distributions, generate proxy materials, tabulate votes, and
produce tax reports and periodic shareholder statements.  The Company's
principal software products in this category are:

  In 1993, the Company signed three significant contracts with major financial
institutions for SUNSTAR and signed a multimillion dollar contract for
INVESTAR.

  Participant Accounting Systems.  The Company's participant accounting systems
automate the investment operations associated with defined contribution
retirement plans such as 401(k) plans.  These systems maintain the books of
record for each participant's share of the cash and securities in the plan,
monitor compliance with government regulations and plan restrictions, process
payments of

                                       5

  During 1993, the Company concluded a license and development contract with a
major bank for SUPERF4 and developed a UNIX workstation version of SUPERF4.
Also in 1993, a high-volume bridge between customer trust accounting systems and
SUPERF4 was developed, making it possible for customers to compute investment
performance statistics on thousands of trust accounts.  Also in 1993, the
Company, as an enhancement to EMBERS, developed a global client statement
reporting subsystem.

Disaster Recovery Services

  Many businesses depend upon computers to perform critical tasks.  Many
companies use communications networks to transmit data between a centralized
computer facility and distant offices.  If a natural disaster, fire, power
failure or other emergency disrupts a company's computer operations or
interrupts communications between its data processing center and remote
locations, its ability to stay in business may be jeopardized.  To address this
problem, the Company maintains alternate data processing sites for use by
customers whenever they are unable to operate or communicate with their own
computer systems.

  The primary alternate sites provided by the Company are fully equipped and
operational computer centers known as "hotsites," where customers may restore
their critical applications using the Company's computer equipment.  The Company
also provides environmentally prepared computer centers known as "coldsites," in
which customers may install and operate their own computer

                                       6

 
equipment, and remote operations centers for using the Company's alternate sites
from long distance. In addition, the Company provides mobile recovery resources
that are delivered or shipped directly to customer-specified locations. Most of
the Company's larger disaster recovery customers purchase a basic package of
services that includes use of a hotsite for six weeks to recover from any
computer center failure, use of a coldsite for six months if recovery operations
must continue for more than six weeks, use of a hotsite to regularly test
disaster recovery procedures, use of adjacent office and terminal space during
recovery operations and tests, technical assistance when conducting recovery
operations and tests, and technical assistance with designing and implementing a
backup communications network.

  The Company also provides WGR--Work Group Recovery/SM/ services through
MetroCenter(R) facilities that provide customers with the use of general office
space and office equipment, as well as enhanced remote operations capabilities
for using the Company's disaster recovery systems for tests or recovery
operations without traveling to a Company hotsite. This product line also
includes MegaVoice/SM/, a centralized voice communications recovery service
that backs up customers' automated telephone call distribution systems.

  The Company provides disaster recovery services to users of IBM (and
compatible) mainframe computers and also to users of DEC, Hewlett Packard, IBM
midrange, Prime, Stratus, Tandem, Texas Instruments and Unisys computers.  These
services are marketed, directly and through representatives, primarily to IBM
(and compatible), DEC and Unisys mainframe and midrange computer installations
in North America.  In 1993, the Company developed a new sales force directed at
marketing disaster recovery services, including mobile recovery services, to
users of smaller computer installations.  This effort was enhanced by several
acquisitions that increased the number of customer contracts for smaller,
midrange computer facilities (see Acquisitions and Offerings on page 10).  Also
in 1993, the Company established two major marketing alliances and signed
certain agreements with third parties to expand and enhance its recovery
services and capabilities.

  During 1993, for the eighth consecutive year, the Company successfully 
supported all customers who experienced computer center failures, including 
five customers with operations disrupted by the World Trade Center bombing.

  Disaster Recovery Facilities.  The Company believes that it conceived and
first implemented the concept of the MegaCenter(R), a multiple hotsite and
coldsite facility that customers may use directly or remotely.  The Company
operates four MegaCenters, located in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Warminster (see Properties on page 12).  The Company believes that its
Philadelphia MegaCenter, which houses six IBM mainframe hotsites, three DEC,
five mobile IBM midrange, three Stratus, one Tandem hotsite, and three
stationary and four mobile Hewlett Packard computer systems, is the largest
commercial disaster recovery facility in the world.  The Company also operates
three combined coldsite and remote operations centers, located in Honolulu, St.
Paul and Toronto.  The Company has established MetroCenters in strategic
locations throughout North America, including Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Los
Angeles, St. Louis and Toronto, and plans to open a new MetroCenter in
Washington, D.C. in the second quarter of 1994.  As a result of acquisitions in
1993, the Company also operates computer centers in Solon, Ohio and Phoenix,
Arizona (see Acquisitions and Offerings on page 10).

  Each of the Company's hotsite systems includes, in addition to the central
processing unit, a complete set of peripheral equipment. The Company markets its
multiple recovery centers and comprehensive hotsite services on a component
pricing basis, allowing each customer to select the specific items of equipment
and other recovery services needed to satisfy its individual disaster recovery
requirements.

  The Company periodically opens new facilities to accommodate both the growth
in its customer base and the addition of different types of computer systems.
Also, the Company regularly upgrades its systems to offer the most advanced
computer equipment generally used by its customers.  During

                                       7

 
1993, the Company upgraded hotsites at all four MegaCenters. In addition to
computer equipment added with acquisitions in 1993, a new IBM midrange system
was offered in Philadelphia and in Atlanta. The disk access, tape cartridge and
other peripheral equipment at all facilities were upgraded or augmented,
including the addition of a state-of-the-art storage and retrieval system for
mainframe customers.

  The Company leases most of its disaster recovery computer equipment under
operating leases.  The duration of these leases, generally two to four years, is
based largely upon the Company's strategy to reduce the risks associated with
the potential obsolescence of its disaster recovery computer systems.  The
Company's disaster recovery equipment is covered by maintenance contracts to
assure that it is properly functioning at all times.

  The Company believes that, by operating a relatively small number of large
facilities linked by a comprehensive communications network, it can provide
superior disaster recovery services in the most effective manner.  All
MegaCenters and MetroCenters, as well as coldsites and other remote operations
centers, are linked by a communications network that is capable of handling a
full range of digital and analog data transmission methods, including satellite
and fiber optics applications.  The Company regularly upgrades this network to
offer the communications technology used by its customers.  During 1993, the
Company continued expanding its matrix switching capabilities to allow for more
efficient and reliable communications during customer tests and recovery
operations.

  Disaster Recovery Contracts.  As of December 31, 1993, the Company had
approximately 3,300 disaster recovery contracts in force.  These contracts
generally require the payment of monthly fees and range in duration from one to
five years.  The amount of the monthly fees depends upon the type of alternate
site selected, any additional services provided, contract duration and
competitive factors.

  The Company's disaster recovery contracts limit the number of computer centers
that may be serviced by each of the Company's large IBM mainframe hotsites.  As
of December 31, 1993, the Company had a maximum capacity of 1090 contracts for
large IBM mainframe hotsites, with current contracts utilizing approximately 85%
of such capacity.  The Company manages this capacity and, when necessary, opens
new hotsites to accommodate the anticipated continued growth in its customer
base (see Product Development on page 9).

  Planning Services.  The Company provides professional consulting services for
disaster recovery and business resumption planning, not only for computer
operations, but also for company-wide purposes encompassing all important
business operations.  This includes the development of customized disaster
recovery and business resumption plans for customers.  The Company also performs
risk analyses to determine customers' exposure to the disruption or loss of
critical operations and resources, audits customers' disaster recovery and
business resumption procedures, and recommends improvements.  In addition, the
Company conducts regular seminars on disaster recovery, business resumption and
related topics.

  The Company also markets microcomputer software, known as DP/90 PLUS(R), that
automates the preparation and maintenance of disaster recovery and business
resumption plans, including comprehensive company-wide planning capabilities.
This software is marketed throughout the world, directly and through
distributors.  There also is a customized version for financial institutions.
In 1994, the Company plans to introduce a new business recovery planning product
entitled CBR--Comprehensive Business Recovery/TM/ that is compatible with
Microsoft Windows.

Computer Services and Other

  The Company provides nonproprietary, remote-access computer services
primarily to software developers and government agencies and also provides
outsourcing services.  In addition, the Company provides direct marketing
computer services and automated mass mailing and printing services.  These

                                       8

 
activities are supported at the Company's computer centers in Voorhees and
Birmingham (see Properties on page 12), which also are used to provide remote
processing services for several of the Company's investment support systems
business units.

  In 1993, the Company purchased a state-of-the-art data processing facility in
Voorhees, New Jersey and moved its Philadelphia computer services operations to
the new facility.  Also, in the first quarter of 1993, the Company sold its
CARS(R) automotive dealership systems product line, resulting in a one-time,
after-tax gain of $3,371,000.

Product Development

  The investment support systems needs of the financial services industry are
complex and substantial, and continually evolve as a result of changes in laws,
introductions of new types of investment vehicles and increased competition.
For these reasons, the Company believes that it is important to continually
maintain, enhance and evolve its proprietary investment support systems.  The
Company funds most of its ongoing software maintenance and support activities
through the software maintenance fees paid by its investment support systems
license customers and a portion of the monthly fees paid by its investment
support systems remote processing customers.  As of December 31, 1993, the
Company had in force approximately 1,850 software maintenance contracts for its
investment support systems.

  The Company's expenditures for software development during 1993, 1992 and
1991, including amounts that were capitalized, totalled approximately
$37,581,000, $24,899,000 and $13,745,000, respectively.  These amounts do not
include certain software maintenance and support costs that are included in cost
of sales, nor do they include costs incurred in performing certain custom
development projects for individual customers in the ordinary course of
business.

  During 1994, the Company plans to continue its development work on GSM--GLOBAL
SECURITIES MANAGER and to develop UNIX versions of SUNSTAR and OMNIPLAN.
Microsoft Windows versions of AUTOTRUST and PMS also are planned in 1994.  These
developments are examples of the Company's strategy of using the established
functionality of its mainframe systems to develop state-of-the-art systems for
new technological environments.

  Also in 1994, the Company plans to enhance the capabilities of INVEST ONE to
include corporate action processing, reversal processing and UK unit trust
processing.  The Company plans to develop software for defined benefit plans
that will interface with the Company's OMNIPLAN software for defined
contribution plans.  In 1994, the Company will continue to expand the
application of EXPEDITER, which facilitates the automated entry of mutual fund
transactions for users of AUTOTRUST, OMNITRUST, OMNIPLAN, BOLT and eventually
other investment support systems.  In 1994, the Company plans to continue the
development of DEVON CONNECT/TM/ to enhance data distribution and exchange
among The Devon Derivatives System, real-time price data and customer systems,
and to provide a digital platform for order trading, routing and monitoring.

  The Company expands its disaster recovery services by adding new hotsites at
existing facilities, upgrading its computer equipment, developing new services
and opening new facilities.  During 1994, the Company plans to upgrade its IBM
ES9000-720 to an IBM ES9000-942 mainframe, IBM's newest H5 technology, at its
Philadelphia MegaCenter. Also during 1994, the Company plans to add new IBM
command centers at its MegaCenters to provide additional testing and recovery
capability. The Company also plans to continue upgrading its disk storage, tape
cartridge and other peripheral hotsite equipment and to continue opening new
MetroCenters where the demand exists.

  The Company expands its disaster recovery communications network by upgrading
its communications equipment, adding new communications capabilities and
establishing additional remote operations centers where the demand exists.

Acquisitions and Offerings

  The Company seeks to grow through both internal development and the
acquisition of businesses that broaden or complement its existing product lines.
Since its initial public offering in 1986, the Company has acquired thirteen
investment support systems businesses, ten disaster recovery businesses and two
computer services businesses.  Also during this period, the Company completed
two additional public offerings, a common stock offering in 1987 and a
convertible debenture offering in 1990.

  In May 1993, the Company converted $86,055,000 of its $86,250,000 8 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015, into 3,309,803 shares of common
stock.  The $195,000 balance of the debentures was redeemed at face value plus
a premium of 5.78%.

  During 1993, the Company spent approximately $30,808,000 in cash, net of cash
acquired, to acquire four investment support systems businesses and four
disaster recovery businesses.

  In January 1993, the Company enhanced its Capital Markets Group by purchasing
the London-based capital markets business of ICCH Financial Markets Limited.
The primary product line of the acquired business, FORTE, is a back-office
trading, clearing and administration system for exchange-traded derivative
instruments.  Also in January 1993, the Company purchased the FIRST FUTURES
product line of London-based Microtech Financial Systems (Europe) Limited.
FIRST FUTURES is an analysis system for exchange-traded and equity derivative
instruments.

  As additions to the Financial Systems Group, in May 1993, the Company
purchased the business of Information Systems of America, Inc. Based in Atlanta,
ISA's major products include PRISM, a portfolio management, investment
accounting and reporting system, and ABC/TM/ and CDS/TM/, general accounting and
financial management systems, for insurance companies. In October 1993, the
Company purchased the business of Digital Solutions, Inc., headquartered in
Minneapolis. DSI's major product, INTRADER, is a portfolio management,
investment accounting and securities trading system for bank capital market
departments and other financial institutions.

  The Recovery Services Group increased its presence in the midrange computer
market with four acquisitions in 1993.  In May 1993, the Company purchased the
disaster recovery business of LDI Corporation, which consists primarily of
recovery services for midrange IBM platforms.  In June 1993, the acquisition of
the disaster recovery business of Uptime Disaster Recovery, Inc. increased the
Hewlett Packard product line and enhanced the Company's mobile recovery
offerings.  The acquisition of the disaster recovery business of Sun Data, Inc.
in October 1993 resulted in the addition of approximately 1,200 contracts in
the IBM AS/400 market.  In November 1993, the acquisition of the disaster
recovery business of Computer Recovery Services, Inc. increased the Company's
services in Unisys A and V platforms.
 
  In June 1993, the Company's common stock was listed on the London Stock
Exchange.

Competition

  Since most of the Company's computer services and software are specialized and
technical in nature, the various markets in which the Company competes have a
relatively small number of significant competitors.  Some of the Company's
existing competitors and some potential competitors have substantially greater
financial, technological and marketing resources than the Company.  The Company
believes that, for most of its businesses, service, quality and reliability are
more important competitive factors than price.

  In its investment support systems business, the Company competes with numerous
other data processing and financial software vendors, which may be broadly
categorized into two groups.  One

                                       10

 
is comprised of specialized investment support systems companies, most of which
are much smaller than the Company. The other is comprised of large computer
services companies whose principal businesses are not in the investment support
systems area. The Company also faces competition from the internal processing
and development capabilities of its potential customers.

  The key competitive factors in marketing investment support systems are the
accuracy and timeliness of processed information provided to customers, features
and adaptability of the software, level and quality of customer support, level
of software development expertise and overall net cost.  The Company believes
that it competes effectively as to each of these factors and that its reputation
and experience in these markets are important competitive advantages.

  The computer disaster recovery business remains highly competitive.  The
Company's principal competitors in this business are Comdisco Disaster Recovery
Services, Inc., Digital Equipment Corporation and IBM Corporation, all of which
have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company.  The
Company also faces potential competition from major companies that have computer
facilities that could be made available for disaster recovery use.  The Company
believes that it competes effectively as to the key competitive factors in this
market, namely quality of facilities, scope and quality of services, level and
quality of customer support, level of technical expertise and price.  The
Company also believes that its experience and reputation as the innovator in
this business are important competitive advantages.

Marketing

  All of the Company's specialized computer services and software are marketed
throughout the United States, and many are marketed internationally as well.
The Company's export sales during 1993, 1992 and 1991 totalled approximately
$29,061,000, $32,501,000 and $28,177,000, respectively.  In addition, the
Company's foreign subsidiaries had sales that for those years totalled 
approximately $18,437,000, $3,211,000 and $1,123,000, respectively.

  The Company develops and maintains proprietary marketing information by
identifying prospective customers through a variety of data bases and other
sources, and then canvassing the prospects by direct mail, telephone calls and
personal visits.  The Company also attempts to identify and attract customers by
conducting seminars and participating in industry conferences.  Customer
references have been an important aid in obtaining new business.

Employees

  At December 31, 1993, the Company had approximately 2,276 full-time employees.
The Company believes that its success depends, in part, on its continuing
ability to attract and retain skilled technical, marketing and management
personnel.  While data processing professionals and software developers are in
high demand, the Company believes that, to date, it has been able to attract and
retain highly qualified personnel.  None of the Company's employees is covered
by a collective bargaining contract.  The Company believes that its employee
relations are excellent.

Proprietary Protection

  The Company owns registered marks for the SunGard name and owns or has applied
for registered marks for many of its service and software names.  The Company
owns few registered copyrights and no patents.  The Company believes that
registered copyrights and patents are of less significance in its business than
software development skills, technological expertise and marketing capabilities.
The Company relies primarily on contractual restrictions and trade secret laws
for the protection of its proprietary services and software.  The Company also
has established policies requiring its personnel to maintain the confidentiality
of the Company's proprietary property.

    revenues, respectively.

        Income from Operations

               Investment Support Systems (ISS)

The ISS operating margin declined in 1993 compared to 1992 due primarily to the
initial effect of acquired businesses and, to a lesser extent, to software
license revenues comprising a smaller portion of total ISS revenues. The
businesses acquired during 1993 and 1992 have historically lower operating
margins than the rest of the Company's ISS businesses. The Company expects that
the full year 1994 ISS operating margin will increase slightly compared to 1993
as a result of a combination of continued improvement in operating margins of
acquired businesses and an expected increase in software license revenues.

               Disaster Recovery Services (DRS)

The improvement in the DRS operating margin in 1993 is attributable primarily to
deferral of equipment expenditures, the positive effect of businesses acquired
during 1993 and the signing of new contracts and contract renewals. The Company
expects that the DRS operating margin will decline during the full year 1994
compared to 1993 due principally to an increase in spending in connection with
disaster recovery computer system upgrades.

               Computer Services and Other (CS)

The CS operating margin improved during 1993 due to the addition of new
processing customers in the second half of 

                                     24

 
1993 and the effect of the sale of the Company's automotive dealership systems
product line in February 1993. This improvement is net of the impact of lower
royalties earned in connection with the 1986 sale of certain product rights
and costs associated with data center consolidations. The Company expects that
the CS operating margin will increase for the full year 1994 compared to 1993.

        Revenues

Total revenues increased $56.8 million and $41.0 million, or 18% and 14%, in
1993 and 1992, respectively. Acquired businesses, net of the sale of the
Company's automotive dealership systems product line in February 1993, account
for approximately $36.5 million of the 1993 increase. Acquired businesses
account for $14.4 million of the 1992 increase. Recurring revenues derived from
remote-processing services, alternate-site services and software maintenance are
approximately $321.0 million, $267.0 million and $235.0 million in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively, representing 84%, 82% and 83% of consolidated revenues,
respectively.

               Investment Support Systems

ISS revenues increased $47.1 million and $30.4 million in 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Acquired businesses account for approximately $44.3 million and
$14.4 million of the respective 1993 and 1992 increases. The balance of the 1993
revenue increase is attributable to the net impact of a $6.8 million increase in
data processing and software maintenance revenues and a $4.0 million decrease in
software license and professional services revenues. The balance of the 1992
revenue increase is attributable to increases in data processing and software
maintenance revenues of $7.2 million and software license and professional
services revenues of $8.8 million.

The Company expects that ISS revenues will increase in 1994 compared to 1993.
The Company believes that the trend of mergers in the financial services
industry will continue, but it is unable to predict what effect, if any, future
mergers may have.

               Disaster Recovery Services

DRS revenues increased $18.6 million and $11.2 million in 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Acquired businesses account for $5.4 million of the 1993 increase,
and alternate-site service revenues resulting primarily from new contract
signings and renewals account for the balance of the 1993 revenue increase. The
1992 increase is comprised of the net impact of an $11.8 million increase in
alternate-site service revenues and a $0.6 million decrease in software
maintenance, license and professional services revenues. The Company expects
that DRS revenues will increase in 1994 due primarily to new contracts and
businesses acquired in 1993.

The Company believes that mainframe computer platforms will continue to play an
integral role in data processing solutions for the foreseeable future and,
therefore, will continue to provide a market for the Company's principal DRS
services. In addition, the Company believes that midrange systems and client-
server and local- and wide-area-network technologies increasingly will become
components of distributed data processing systems, and that they represent
continuing market opportunities for the DRS business.

               Computer Services and Other

CS revenues decreased $8.9 million and $0.6 million in 1993 and 1992,
respectively. The February 1993 sale of the Company's automotive dealership
systems product line accounts for a decrease of approximately $13.3 million in
1993 revenue. This decrease was partially offset by a $4.4 million increase in
revenue due primarily to an increase in remote-access computer services. The
1992 decrease is attributable primarily to the net impact of the September 1991
sale of a small, unprofitable product line, a $0.7 million decrease in
royalties, an increase in license fees from the Company's automotive dealership
systems and, to a lesser extent, an increase in remote-access computer services.
The Company expects that CS revenues will increase slightly during 1994 as a
result of the net impact of both new contracts signed and the product line sold
in 1993.

                                     25

 
        Costs and Expenses
        
Total costs and expenses increased $47.5 million and $33.2 million, or 17% and
14%, in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Acquired businesses, net of the product
line sold, account for $34.0 million of the 1993 increase. Acquired businesses
account for $13.9 million of the 1992 increase. Excluding the effect of acquired
businesses and, in 1993, the product line sold, total costs and expenses
increased 5% in 1993 and 8% in 1992.

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses increased $20.3 million and $12.3
million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Acquired businesses, net of the product
line sold, account for approximately $12.5 million of the 1993 increase.
Acquired businesses account for $8.2 million of the 1992 increase. The decrease
in cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of 1993 and 1992
revenues is due primarily to a shift of resources to product development efforts
and, to a lesser extent, to DRS cost of sales and direct operating costs
increasing at a slower rate than DRS revenues.

Sales, marketing and administration expenses increased $9.9 million and $7.5
million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Acquired businesses, net of the product
line sold, account for approximately $6.3 million of the 1993 increase. Acquired
businesses account for $2.6 million of the 1992 increase. Sales, marketing and
administration expenses as a percentage of revenues declined slightly in 1993
and remained unchanged during 1992 compared to 1991.

Product development expenses increased $11.7 million and $10.0 million in 1993
and 1992, respectively. Acquired businesses account for approximately $9.8
million of the 1993 increase and $1.7 million of the 1992 increase. The balance
of the 1993 and 1992 increases is attributable primarily to increased
development spending in connection with the Company's employee benefit systems
products and, in 1992, the Company's derivative systems products. In addition,
development costs capitalized were $2.5 million and $1.5 million in 1993 and
1992, respectively.

Depreciation of property and equipment increased $3.6 million and $1.5 million
in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Acquired businesses, net of the product line
sold, account for approximately $1.8 million of the 1993 increase. Acquired
businesses account for approximately $0.6 million of the 1992 increase. The
balance of the 1993 and 1992 increases is attributable primarily to DRS capital
expenditures.

Amortization of intangible assets increased $2.0 million and $1.9 million in
1993 and 1992, respectively. The 1993 increase is comprised of the net impact of
acquired businesses, the product line sold and intangible assets that became
fully amortized. The 1992 increase is due to acquired businesses and accelerated
amortization of certain intangible assets.

Interest income in 1993 was approximately the same as in 1992 because the
average amount of cash and short-term investments was comparable in both years.
During 1993, the Company continued to invest a portion of excess cash and
investments in tax-free instruments. Interest expense declined in 1993 by $4.4
million due to the conversion of the Company's subordinated convertible
debentures (Debentures) on May 12, 1993 (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).

The Company's effective tax rate was 39.1% and 43.2% in 1993 and 1992,
respectively. The 1993 effective tax rate was lower than in 1992 due primarily
to a lower effective tax rate associated with the gain on the sale of the
product line.

The Company believes that its business is not seasonal; nevertheless, the timing
and magnitude of software sales, commitments for equipment and facilities,
product development efforts and disaster recovery activities may cause
profitability to fluctuate from one quarter to another.

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its results
of operations to date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1993, cash and short-term investments increased $1.4 million, to
$84.8 million from $83.4 million at December 31, 1992. Cash flow from operations
decreased approximately $2.1 million in 1993 due primarily to an increase in
working capital requirements.

During 1993, cash paid for acquired businesses was approximately $30.8 million.
Cash received from the sale of assets includes $11.1 million received in
connection with the sale of the product line.

Capital expenditures in 1993 increased approximately $11.1 million from 1992 due
primarily to capital requirements for the Company's DRS and CS businesses,
including approximately $7.5 million in connection with the purchase of a data
center facility to house the CS business operations. The Company's capital
spending for property and equipment during 1994 is expected to be slightly lower
than 1993 spending.

On May 12, 1993, $86.1 million of the Company's $86.25 million Debentures were
converted into 3,309,803 shares of common stock of the Company. On May 24, 1993,
the remainder of the Debentures was redeemed at par plus a premium of 5.78%.
Also, on April 15, 1993, the Company established $25.0 million of revolving
credit facilities. As of December 31, 1993, no borrowings had been made under
these facilities.

At December 31, 1993, the Company's remaining commitments consisted primarily of
operating leases for computer equipment and facilities aggregating $112.6
million, of which $38.0 million will be paid in 1994. The Company believes that
its existing cash resources, cash generated from operations and borrowing
capacity will be sufficient to meet its operating, capital spending and debt
service requirements.

SunGard Data Systems Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

SunGard Data Systems Inc. (the Company), through its wholly owned subsidiaries,
operates in a single industry segment providing computer services, principally
proprietary processing services and software to the financial services industry
and computer disaster recovery services. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from disaster recovery, software maintenance and remote processing
services are recognized as the related service is provided. License fee revenues
from proprietary products are generally recognized upon the signing of a
contract and delivery of the product. In those instances where the Company
provides training, installation and other post-delivery services, a portion of
the contract price is deferred and recognized as the services are provided.
Revenues from fixed-fee contracts requiring a significant amount of program
modification or customization are recognized based on the estimated percentage
of completion. Changes in estimated costs during the course of the contract are
reflected in the period in which the facts become known.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested primarily in institutional
money market funds, commercial paper, time deposits, certificates of deposit and
short-term bonds. Investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
are considered cash equivalents. Investments purchased with a maturity of more
than three months are considered short-term investments. All investments are
stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist of temporary cash and short-term investments and trade
receivables. The Company places its temporary cash and short-term investments
with institutions of high credit quality and, by policy, limits the amount of
credit exposure to any one institution and industry. The Company sells a
significant portion of its products and services to the U.S. banking industry
and, although the Company could be directly affected by the well-being of the
U.S. banking industry in general, the Company does not believe significant
credit risk existed at December 31, 1993. Trade receivables are stated at
estimated net realizable value, which approximates fair value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (two
to eight years for equipment and ten to forty years for buildings and
improvements). Leasehold improvements are amortized ratably over their remaining
lease term or useful life, if shorter.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of each of the Company's foreign operations is the local
currency of the country in which the operation is headquartered. Accordingly,
all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates
in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using
average exchange rates during the period. Increases and decreases in net assets
resulting from foreign currency translation are reported as a separate component
of stockholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the
results of operations and are not material.

                                     33

 
Software Development and Product Costs

Product development costs are charged to expense as incurred and consist
primarily of design and development costs of new products and significant
enhancements incurred prior to the establishment of a product's technological
feasibility and of routine maintenance of proprietary software products.

Costs associated with purchased software, software acquired through business
acquisitions, and new products and enhancements to existing products that meet
technological feasibility and recoverability tests are capitalized and amortized
over the estimated useful lives of the related products, generally five to ten
years, using the straight-line method or the ratio of current revenues to
current and anticipated revenues from such software, whichever provides the
greater amortization. Amortization of all software products aggregated
$8,564,000,$7,227,000 and $6,955,000 during 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired and is amortized on the straight-line method over periods ranging from
ten to forty years.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consist primarily of certain acquired contract rights,
which are amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated remaining
lives, not exceeding twenty years.

Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company implemented Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference between the financial and tax bases of assets
and liabilities using the currently enacted tax rates in effect during the years
in which the differences are expected to reverse. The impact of implementing the
provisions of Statement No. 109 did not have a material effect upon the
Company's financial position or its results of operations.

Prior to 1992, the provision for income taxes was computed based on income and
expenses included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
Differences between taxes computed based on financial statement income and taxes
payable under applicable tax regulations were recorded as deferred tax assets
and liabilities arising from timing differences.

Net Income Per Share

Primary net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-
average number of common and common-equivalent shares outstanding.

Fully diluted net income per share is computed based on the assumption that
all of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures were converted into
common shares on the date of issue (see Note 4). For purposes of calculating
fully diluted net income per share, net income is increased by the assumed
incremental after-tax interest savings, and the weighted-average number of
shares outstanding is increased by the additional common shares assumed to be
issued upon conversion of the subordinated debentures.

2. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Purchase Transactions and Product Line Sale

During 1993, the Company completed eight business acquisitions. Four
acquisitions were in the Company's investment support systems business and four
were in its disaster recovery services business. Total cash paid in connection
with the acquisitions was approximately $30,808,000, subject to certain
adjustments. Goodwill recorded in connection with these acquisitions was
approximately $11,700,000.

On February 5, 1993, the Company sold its automotive dealership systems product
line, resulting in an after-tax gain of $3,371,000, or $0.18 per share, on a
fully diluted basis. 

                                     34

 
Effective October 31, 1992, the Company completed the acquisition of AJL
Holding AB (AJL), of Stockholm, Sweden, whose subsidiary Front Capital Systems
AB is a developer and marketer of one of the world's leading front-office and
analysis systems for exchange-traded and equity derivatives. The purchase
price was approximately $7,900,000 in cash, plus a contingent payment of up to
50,000,000 Swedish Kronor (approximately $6,000,000 at December 31, 1993)
depending upon AJL achieving certain financial results during the forty-two-
month period ending April 30, 1996. The Consolidated Statements of Income
include the results of AJL from November 1, 1992. Goodwill recorded in
connection with this acquisition was approximately $4,200,000.

On July 31, 1992, the Company completed the acquisition of Shaw Data Services,
Inc. and its affiliates (Shaw), the largest domestic provider of portfolio
management and performance measurement systems and computer services to
institutional investment organizations and investment advisors. The initial
purchase price was approximately $14,500,000 in cash, subject to certain
adjustments, plus a contingent payment of up to $15,000,000 depending upon Shaw
achieving certain financial results during the three-year period ending July 31,
1995. The Consolidated Statements of Income include the results of Shaw from
August 1, 1992. Goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition was
approximately $5,300,000.

During 1991, the Company paid a total of approximately $8,900,000 in connection
with three acquisitions, one for each of its product groups.

Pro forma combined results of operations are not presented since the results of
operations as reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income
would not be materially different.

3. Property and Equipment

December 31 (in thousands):

 
 
                                         1993         1992

                                              =======    ========
 

On April 22, 1993, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption for all of its
$86,250,000 convertible subordinated debentures (Debentures). On May 12, 1993,
$86,055,000 of the Debentures were converted into 3,309,803 shares of common

                                     35

 
stock of the Company at a conversion price of $26.00 per share. On May 24, 
1993, the balance of $195,000 was redeemed at par plus a premium of 5.78%. On
a pro forma basis, had the Debentures been converted on January 1, 1993,
primary earnings per share would have approximated earnings per share on a
fully diluted basis.

On April 15, 1993, the Company entered into two unsecured revolving credit
agreements (Credit Agreements) that provide for up to $25,000,000 of revolving
credit for a three-year period (renewable on an annual basis at the lenders'
option) at an interest rate based upon LIBOR plus 0.75%, the CD rate plus
0.875%, or the Prime rate, at the Company's option. In order to remain
eligible for borrowing under the Credit Agreements, the Company must, among
other requirements, maintain a defined minimum tangible net worth and limit
its other unsubordinated debt. There has been no borrowing under the Credit
Agreements through December 31, 1993.

Annual maturities of long-term debt during the next five years are as follows:
1994-$3,162,000; 1995-$374,000; 1996-$358,000; 1997-$365,000 and 1998-
$365,000.

5. Stock Option and Award Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a maximum of 600,000 shares
of common stock may be issued to substantially all full-time employees.
Eligible employees may purchase a limited number of shares of common stock
each quarter through payroll deductions at a purchase price equal to 85% of
the closing price of the Company's common stock on the last business day of
each calendar quarter. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, employees purchased 64,000,
63,000 and 71,000 shares, respectively, at average purchase prices of $30.06,
$22.21 and $13.95 per share, respectively. At December 31, 1993, 269,000
common shares were reserved for issuance under this plan.

Restricted Stock Plans

On April 30, 1991, the stockholders approved the Company's Restricted Stock
Award Plan for Outside Directors (RSAP). The RSAP provides for awards of up to
100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Each outside director will
automatically receive an initial award of 5,000 shares of the Company's common
stock upon election to the Company's Board of Directors and, upon reelection
as an outside director every fifth year thereafter, will automatically receive
another 5,000 shares. Shares awarded under the RSAP are subject to certain
transfer and forfeiture restrictions that lapse over a five-year vesting
period. During 1993 and 1991, RSAP awards of 5,000 and 29,000 shares,
respectively, were granted at weighted-average market values of $29.00 and
$17.02 per share, respectively. There were no awards during 1992.

On May 1, 1990, the stockholders approved the Company's Restricted Stock
Incentive Plan (RSIP). The RSIP provides for awards of up to 400,000 shares of
the Company's common stock to key management employees. Shares awarded under
the RSIP are subject to certain transfer and forfeiture restrictions that
lapse over a five-year vesting period. During 1991, RSIP awards of 4,000
shares were granted at a weighted-average market value of $17.75 per share.
There were no awards during 1993 or 1992.

Unearned compensation expense related to the restricted stock plans is
reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. For accounting purposes, compensation
expense is recorded ratably over the five-year period during which the shares
are subject to transfer and forfeiture restrictions and is based on the market
value on the award date less the par value of the shares awarded. Compensation
expense related to these plans aggregated $1,432,000, $1,414,000 and
$1,450,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
        
                                     36

 
Stock Option Plans
        
Under the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase up to
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued to officers and
key employees. These options may be either incentive stock options or
nonqualified stock options, and the option price must be at least equal to the
fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Options are
granted for a ten-year term and become fully exercisable one year from the
date of grant, subject to five-year vesting schedules.

Under the Company's 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan, employees were granted
options to purchase up to 1,047,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
100% of the fair value of the stock on the date of grant. Options were granted
for a ten-year term and became exercisable in five cumulative annual
installments of 20%, commencing one year from the date of grant.

The table below summarizes transactions under the Company's 1986 and 1982
stock option plans.

Under the Company's 1988 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the 1988 Plan),
options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be
issued to officers and key employees of the Company at a price equal to the
lower of $8.00 per share or 50% of the fair value of the Company's common
stock on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be granted with
respect to options granted or outstanding. Upon exercise of stock appreciation
rights, the holder will receive cash, common stock or a combination thereof,
as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, equal
to the difference between the increase in the market value and the underlying
option price. Options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 1988
Plan expire ten years and five days from the date of grant.

Under a compensation arrangement with an executive officer of the Company, the
executive had the right to receive options to purchase common stock of the
Company under the 1988 Plan based on performance during the four-year period
ended December 31, 1992. Based upon achieving the goals which were established
in 1988, the executive received options to purchase a total of approximately
159,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $8.00 per share. Compensation
expense related to this agreement was charged to income over the period earned
and aggregated $1,264,000 and $467,000 for the years ended December 31, 1992
and 1991, respectively. There were no options granted during 1993.

6. Savings Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain savings plans that cover
substantially all employees. These plans generally provide that the Company
will contribute a certain percentage of employee compensation or contributions
up to a specified level. Company contributions charged to income under these
plans aggregated $3,092,000, $2,466,000 and $1,972,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company implemented Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
implementation of the provisions of Statement No. 109 did not have a material
effect upon the Company's financial position or results of operations. Prior-
year financial statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of
Statement No. 109.

Statement No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in
the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on the difference between financial and tax bases of
assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates in effect during the
years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The provisions for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992
and 1991 consist of the following (in thousands):
