"Safe Harbor" Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements about SunGard's 1997 and 1998 outlook and all other statements in
this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements. Since
these statements involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change at
any time, SunGard's actual results could differ materially from expected
results. Such risks and uncertainties include risks that integration of the
operations and products of the combining companies might not occur as
anticipated in this or other acquisitions. SunGard derives most of its forward-
looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based
upon many detailed assumptions. While SunGard believes that its assumptions are
reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting
certain important factors, especially the timing and magnitude of software
sales, the timing and scope of technological advances, the performance of
recently acquired businesses, the prospects for future acquisitions, and the
overall condition of the financial services industry. Actual results, including
the level of earnings of both SunGard and Infinity may differ materially from
historical results. These factors, as and when applicable, are discussed in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
most recent Form 10-K and the registration statement on Form S-4 related to the
acquisition of Infinity, copies of which may be obtained from SunGard without
charge, and in Infinity's most recent Form 10-K.
